[The next letter comes quick. Now covered in few stickers and a few drawings within it's envelope, messy art of what is supposed to be Shroud and Micheal standing with a smiley face with a taller yellow figure that has big wings. Spelled in big capitals, 'BEST FRIENDS'.]
Oo. I hate it when Shroud used to tug on my tail because he wanted a look at my revealed skull again. It being a very sensitive area. And Henrietta is an old duck. One that likes making sure I don't stay up all night or don't go far without my parents supervision. Which is pretty mean of her to do. So sometimes I stuff her in Bee and Boo's room so me and Shroud can go exploring on our own!
Wait did you just mention you'd come meet us? Oh prime!!! Please do! I'll make sure to give you a proper tour of my room when you come by and Shroud says he promises not to tug at your wings!
Though we wanna know what you mean by bad people had hurt our parents? There the toughest people we know! Nothing could hurt them! They said so themselves! And you NEVER question bee, Boo, and uncle mommy unless you want some trouble. Trust me.
Shroud said thank you for sending flowers to us! Said he was gonna keep it somewhere safe so that whenever we do go out on our own, we'd be able to find these pretty flowers again and see them fresh! But could you tell us what there called? As me and Shroud only know about alliums, roses, and dandelions. Not many more which Shroud is kinda sad about. We hardly see any in the snow out here, nothing but trees and snowflakes around.
- Micheal_Beloved and Shroud Innit
( @michealsproutsnotes )
dear shroud & michael,
you lock henrietta up? sheesh, you two are getting desperate.
as for the flowers; i'm in a forest location at the moment. been, uh, travelling. so they're all some sort of wildflowersā€” geraniums, bluebells, a few poppies. and cornflowers, i think. i'm kinda shit at identifying nature stuff, if you'll pardon my language.
what's it like living in a wintery area? i've been by snowchester once or twice, but your parents (minus tommy) have been understandably hostile.
yours,
quackity from las nevadas.

Thanos smut hcs? LOL TYYYšŸ©·
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€” THANOS SMUT HCS
ā—œ featuring ... thanos (choi su-bongĀ  / player 230)
š”—Ø author's note ā€” mmmh first male x fem reader on my blog. probably the most lewd ive written so far AND -!!!! i just realized that my anonymous asks werent on until someone pointed it out, so theres that.. i turned it on!! [lowercase intended]
warning: smut & slight angst [it's thanos, expect the worst]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- bondage..... whew starting off strong !!
- literally doesnt give two shits. he would use zip ties to tie your wrists for all he cares.Ā 
- his apartment is nasty as fuck
- dont even get me started on the fucked up couch he has in his apartment with disgusting stains that are probably permanent at this pointĀ 
- spits in your mouth mid fucking
- would sometimes spit the ecstasy pill from his mouth to yoursĀ 
- cigarettes after sex? nah, cigarettes during sex.
- and to you, it makes the experience even better
- the thing is, when you're high, you won't give a fuck about anything that's happening around you
- public sex !! he's the type to shamelessly fuck inside clubs
- would blow the smoke directly onto your face as you cough
- loooves to cum on your face. not on your stomach, not inside, not anywhere else but your face.
- he loves it messy and dirty. he feels pride just from seeing you in front of him kneeled down and face covered with his cum
- degrading.
- you will NEVER hear even a single praise come out from this man's mouth. even after you give him the best head he's ever had
- angry sex, mostly caused by you getting hit on by someone else and just thanos being possessiveĀ 
- its no biggie though, he's just giving you a small reminder who you belong to <33
- man's a sadist. he would just laugh at you for crying because of overstimulation
- your safe word won't work on him the first time you say it. second time, he'll act deaf and will continue pounding into you. although when he sees that you're clearly in distress, he'll make considerations and will pull out and make you suck him off instead
- if you're being too hard headed and bratty during sex, 100% he'll slap you across the face hard so you'd finally get your shit together
- doesn't care whether you get yourself off or not. all that matters to him is that he gets to cum and thats it.
- im sorry but he knows nothing about aftercare
- he would just stub his cigarette, throw it somewhere, and fall straight to sleep
- you'd stare at his sleeping figure blankly with no thoughts inside your head
- but you felt empty and lonely. not realizing yet that such a small pill can change someone's way of acting.
- you truly deserve better.
thanos' breathing slowed, deepening into his sleep. you lay beside him, body still tingling from the overwhelming sensations he gave you just earlier. silence swallows you, leaving you staring blankly at his peaceful face.
it's strangeā€”the way your chest feels so hollow, an ache you couldn't quite place, like you'd expect for something that was never going to come. he'd been so alive just moments ago, what the hell happened? now he is gone, lost into unconsciousness, leaving you alone in the weight of aftermath.

"MINE"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: e!42 miles x blk! fem reader
genre: fluff , protective miles
miles = dark purple you = pink (naisa is you)
a/n: whew lawrd i got so many damn books to post .. yall in for some treats good JESUS , but trust ima get yall requests soon i promise
-----------------------------------ā™”-----------------------------------------
you were walking back home from the store , it wasn't too far away from where you live , so walkin won't a problem .
on the way back you heard your phone buzz , taking it out of your pocket to see who texted you. "1 new message from: Miless šŸ’˜."
miles was texting you to ask where you were at , worried on why you weren't home yet since he was at your house. you texted back smiling , reassuring him that you'll be fine , and your're on the way. butttt miles looked over that , and face timed you.
when you answered , he was side eyeing the camera , on the game that he set up in your room. "didnt i tell you to ask me before u use my tv?" you sighed , looking around your room to see what else he had done.
"yeaa sorry ma , my ass was bored waitin on u , but where you at?" miles fully turned his head towards the camera , squinting trying to make out where you were at.
you put your face all up in the camera , makin faces and laughing. "ma im not playin , where are you" he put his controller down , speaking in a more serious tone which made you back up from the screen.
"chill , im on my way ri-" suddenly , a boy who looked about your age came up to you , cheesin away. you kept walking , not interested.
the boy started walking behind you , trying to talk to you which .. didnt play out well. "yoo u from here?" he managed to catch up to you , trying to walk beside you.
miles heard the male's voice which caused his head to shoot towards the phone , picking it up looking around your surroundings.
"yea , i'm from my man's place , move along ." you snarled , walking faster looking at your phone to see miles with the most annoyed facial expression ever.
"aye not gon lie he prolly a bitch like most niggas round here , i could fs do better lil ma" this was miles last straw .. womp womp.. "oh hell na ." miles said before taking a good look at where you were , and hanging up.
the boy heard the voice coming from your phone as you walked faster , causing him to laugh. "aye was that him? see he prolly mad at u now , come fuck wit a real nigga" at this point you were irritated , not wanting miles to be mad at you because someone else tried talking to you.
"nigga fuck off , been said i got a man thats yo cue to leave . actually that ain't even my man , we married. so bye.." you went to imsg on your phone trying to text miles to get this boy away from you as soon as possible , he was pissin you off at this point.
miles texted you back with a simple "omw mami." which caused you to look around , seeing if he was anywhere in sight.
after a few minutes of this bum still tryna talk to you and follow you , you felt hands around your waist walking with you , causing you to quickly turn around trying to move until you noticed it was your bf , miles.
"the fuck?? this yo man?" he looked miles up and down , which pissed the both of yall off. you opened your mouth to say something , but before you could talk , miles did.
"nah nigga im her husband , i know u heard her say she taken so why u still tryna fw her? take yo big boosie fade head ass on somewhere bruh and getchu a retwist , yo ass got butterfly locs atp" miles laughed a lil at his own joke , meanwhile you were crackin tf upp
the boy side eyed yall , and walked off mad asf , you and miles were still crackin up at the back of this nigga head , retwists do not exist to him
"ight ight jokes aside , you lmk when shit like that happen we cant have niggas lookin like THAT tryna fuck wit you naisa" he wiped a few lil tears from his eyes due to laughing , you did the same.
"nigga did not give up.." you thought of the things the boy said , making you cringe.
miles put his arm around you , walking back home and kissed you on your forehead.
"mine."

I HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR MY REASONS
pull up a chair people we are going to Talk about The List
FIRST OF ALL: Build. Okay this one is probably a bit strange for some people but listen. Listen. I want you to understand something. The chances of a woman being stick thin and curvy in the way Cha Hae-In is AND ALSO being able to throw a fully grown man like a pinata is almost zero. (Another thing we never see from her which is just plain sad, she never goes up against a single man in a meaningful confrontation.)
Her boobs are bigger than her face, okay. Women can and do have large breasts- in and of itself, this isn't a problem. Her thighs are also quite large. Not bad, not bad, we've got some symmetry going on. You find out later she's a track and field star who was going to become an athlete but gave it up for the sake of protecting ppl as a hunter. ofc that doesn't come out until like the last forking chapter but okay. fine.
HOWEVER. While her thighs indicate something of the strength of a runner, her calves do not. Her knees also do not. When you're a runner, it's generally obvious. The most successful runners also have A Build. You can look at one and just Know: you run.
An example of a smaller detail, many runner's have a Runner's Knee- a specific group of muscles that, when repeatedly trained, can look almost like a second knee on some people because of how incredibly developed they are. If Cha Hae-In was a serious athlete, it wouldn't be abnormal for her to have this.
She's not often portrayed full body, and this is generally a forgettable thing, so okay. fine. HOWEVER (theres gonna be a lot of these just get used to it my friends) her waist is the size of a stretched cat. Her arms are twigs. I have seen women who are genuinely Strong. They do not have thin arms.
So i guess for the sake of the story, we're gonna suspend belief and say that it's mana or magic or S-Rank bullsheep. Okay. She's got an okay-ish build for a runner- still not realistic but if we lean into 'It's Magic' and she wears two sports bras every time she runs and biking shorts so she doesn't chafe, then whatever. fine.
Also
She's blonde. I hate this. For real reasons but also personal preference. Too many webtoons and books and stuff fall into this, just like there are too many elf romance books where the male lead hads white hair. why does he have white hair? nobody knows. This is nothing against blondes. I've dyed my hair blonde. I had fun, it was cool, this isn't a 'nobody should be blonde because it makes them a ditz' post. begone stereotypers. tho that is another of my annoyances w her character (the ditz part babe not the blonde part thats a separate issue) but that's not about the sin of being blonde thats about the sin of undeveloped characters.
Okay so. She's a Korean. And she's blonde. Alright, lets suspend belief, its a dungeon story. sure. sure. but give me SOMETHING. SOMETHING to tie it into the story, some reason, some interesting tidbit to just flesh out and give her a little flesh on her bird-like twig bones that are NOT REALISTIC given the rest of her build and her physical prowess. (yes im harping on this)
For example, let's say mana flooded the world with the opening of the gates and had strange effects on some human. the awakening of hunters is often accompanied by physical changes- some may be topical some may be muscular, etc etc etc. Interesting, right? Her grandmother is English, her father is German, that kind of thing adds a bit of backstory, a bit of flavour. Show us a scene of her foriegn father cooking her a specialty dessert from his home that he misses.
Show him promising her to take her to visit one day; transition to his hand falling from her head covered in blood and she wakes up gasping from the nightmare of her father's death which is also why she became a hunter.
Do u see that? Do u see what i did there? i made her a Person for a minute in less than a sentence. because we have some Understanding of her, and that Understanding leads to Sympathy; to Interest. We like her a little more because we know a bit about her. this took ONE sentence. three four five panels. a fourth of a chapter. three panels inside her head every once in a while when MC does something in battle that reminds her of her own motivations. thats all it takes.
Cha Hae-In's biggest flaw is that she's not a Character. She's not a Person. She's a Love Interest. She's a Woman, not a woman. A lampshade. She is entirely there to provide the Male Main Character with An Option that's Not As Good As Him, but still Good Enough to be marriageable. And u wanna know what happens with that?
They get married. They have a baby. He gets a job in the police force. She becomes a stay-at-home-mom.
What. The. Fuck.
u wanna tell me in what world that's realistic?
putting aside the fact that after 27 YEARS of nothing but bloodshed sung jinwoo may not have a gentle bone in his body let alone an untraumatized brain-cell rattling around his skull, she's like three DECADES younger than him at this point. fine. suspend belief. we are Suspending Belief. Fine. okay. Move on.
So.
She's a Hunter, an S-Class Hunter. But she's not violent, no. She doesn't enjoy her power or take any pleasure in facing off against strong opponents, and if she does, we never know about it. Of course not.
Of COURSE not, Solo Leveling is a Male Power Fantasy made flesh. The strong dominate the weak? the weak are bullied and seen as useless? the one who is strong will be Seen and Listened to and Respected. Strength is the only thing that matters; Overwhelming Strength? One person can save the world. He's calm, cool, collected. He's ripped and strong but not thick because that's not how it Should Be (disregard the fact that this is how it Is). He's the perfect man. Girls fawn over him. Women are wooed by him with a glance.
Give me a single reason that isn't the Male Power Fantasy. And the worst part, to me? MOST MEN DONT EVEN WANT THAT. Not decent men. not well-rounded men. not interesting or creative or loving men. literally. to be The Strongest and Bear Every Responsibility and Save Everyone, NOBODY WANTS THAT.
anyway this post aint about sung jin-woo- luv u precious boi on the verge of a mental break (if we're being realistic but this is SL so we're not *shrugs*)- this post is about Cha Hae-In.
so we're gonna talk about another problem, as is briefly mentioned above. Every woman wants sung jin-woo. okay. from the very first moment they met, her first thought? 'he doesn't smell bad' to her incredibly delicate, sensitive S-Class nose. literally, 'he's not like other men'
Oh. my. gosh. im gonna scream.
let's also remember the moment he walked into his LITTLE SISTER'S school and every teen girl there immediately started giggling. okay first of all no. second of all NO. most teen girls arent actually that stupid and arent really interested in guys six years older than them unless they're getting groomed or paid.
Of those that are one of those groups, they dont usually giggle abt it in public. they'll giggle with their friends or after school. not IN FRONT OF THE GUY thats forking embarrassing for everyone. some will, yeah, but they'll be the really outspoken group that just does not care or are overconfident that nothing can hurt them bc they have daddy's money and no life experience.
his lil sis offering to set him up was just disturbing. no. minors, guys. MINORS. no. thats on the author not the characters. should sung jin-woo have been like, brainless sister mine, im twenty three and they're six. i dont want to get arrested. no. but again thats the author's fault imo.
okay anyway im sorry this post isnt coherent im not very coherent rn tbh. basically i just got really frustrated with how, from the start, cha-hae-in wasn't her own person. she was a reflection of a fantasy. we don't know almost ANYTHING about her. they have a few sparkly pink background moments. like two. maybe. she confesses and isn't rejected but isn't accepted either until the very very end when she confesses again in a different timeline. we dont know ANYTHING about her. WHY does the guy even like her? we dont know. He doesn't even seem to know. shes a cardboard cutout.
'you're my only friend' he once says, because she says it once in battle and I CALL BULLSHIT. what about your vice-prez? What about the b-rank healer from the beginning who healed your useless ass every time u got beat up and nearly died in a dungeon? (who was also attracted to him btw even as a hopeless wimpy dweeb. *massages my temples* and some girls (and guys) are into that!!! full respect to u! but we cant continue in that direction, that would be like saying Diversity has Value and a Place in the hearts of each person because each person's heart is Different and we cant have that, no no no)
speaking of, the way she stands is so heinously unrealistic it makes me cough up a hairball every time i see it.
Tumblr media
this is her in battle. IN BATTLE. do u know who stands like that in battle? someone about to get their knees snapped. that entire outfit is completely useless and impractical for numerous reasons. i hate everything about this picture.
a lot of cha hae-in's problems reveal themselves repeatedly throughout the series in various characters, especially minor ones, so we won't completely fault her- again, all of this is on the author, who's neglected what could have been a genuinely interesting character- the only one of Korea's Ten S-Ranks to be a woman. instead she's literally flattened and massacred in the very beginning.
she's literally referred to by the MC by being 'still so pure.' i cannot express to you the number of problems i have with this sentiment. she's a ditz. she's incredibly intelligent. she's pure. she's willing to get her hands bloody. she's beautiful. she's strong. she's powerful. her stance doesn't reflect that. her body's not structurally possible. there's no confidence or personality trait indicative of her status. she's clever; she never talks except to bounce ff the MC or provide him a reason to be patronizingly amused by her cute purity.
i want. to scream.
she's not REAL. she's not a Person. 'its a story its not real life ofc she's not real Moss stop being picky,' u say. in a story, this IS actually a problem. your characters should be well rounded, even side characters and love interests, ESPECIALLY love interests. they MUST to be someone we see fondly as the audience because if we don't how can we ever believe the MC does? this is an issue with writing and story and it's the kind of thing that can halt sales, writers, and stories. if for no other reason than bothering the reader or breaking their immersion.
for an example i want to point to the enormous number of satosugu shippers. they're never stated in the text as being in love or together or even interested in each other as anything other than friends. even gege akutami never SAYS it. there's no outright source. but the MATERIAL. oh gosh. its so clear that they love each other- and you can take that any way you want, i prefer friendship because it makes it possible for me to sleep at night- but even as platonic soulmates, they ARE soulmates. not once do they ever say that to each other. but they say, 'it's okay, because you're here,' they say, 'he's my best friend' even years after their falling out, ' they're indulgent towards each other, they follow each other around, they play games and spend time together, they fight and care and MEAN something to each other. even though suguru's pov isn't much delved into while he's still suguru, we still KNOW. its not stated but it shows.
in contrast, we have NO idea why sung woojin likes cha hae-in. we don't know how. there was a scene at an amusement park. there was a Moment at the end. there was a confession. none of it connects or has a natural progression with times in the middle of them getting to know each other, be fond of each other as anything but just distant figures. You think people like that can survive in a marriage to each other??? marriage is hard freaking work that takes the MOST dedication and patience and vulnerability. there's not an ouce of indication they'd be truly willing to give that to each other as equal partners or lovers.
cha hae-in is also completely well behaved and perfect. there's nothing interesting about her. think about yu sangah from ORV- omniscient reader's viewpoint for those who haven't read it (read it, it'll change your life and youll never regret it). Yu Sangah is also a beautiful woman. A Beautiful woman. Beautifu las in Plot Device. She is Beautiful. She is intelligent and well behaved. rather mild and with a bland personality- except. EXCEPT. we see a little about her interests from the very start. (she's learning spanish) we learn about her situation. (she's getting hired again by the company even tho kim dokja isn't) she's scared by the beginning of the Scenarios, but she also survives them, and then she DOES something with that survival. she grows. she trains. she becomes strong. she sacrifices herself. we see her alive again and she shows such gentle affection towards our MC- kim dokja- and helps him stand up again and face the world. she is a Character. a Person. she's more nurturing and the good girl type but that's not all she is. she's compassionate, she's brave, she's scared but will do the thing that needs to be done for her loved once to survive.
in contrast, again, we know literally nothing about cha hae-in's interests or capabilities or family or the things she would do for her loved ones. we don't know about her savagery or lack therof. we dont know if she's disgusted but forces herself to fight anyway for her hypothetical deceased father. we dont know if she loves the rush but hates the blood. we dont know if she's got any kind of interesting characterists- something like a love of lemon candies like han sooyoung (also orv) or a huge fujoshi like Uriel (orv). there's just nothing. how can we have any atttachement to her like that?
look like i said i really do love solo leveling. it was such a fun series. and these problems are very much problems with the author, who i do admire for making this work and am not trying to hate on or discredit. its fun, it entertained me enough for me to binge it in a total of like four days- anime and manhwa- but these issues are real, and wouldn't have taken very much at all to address. all of my complaints can genuinely be solved with one or two extra chapters. i understand page space. i understand chapter limits. i understand differences in worldview.
but cha hae-in is honestly the accumulation of just about everything i hate about women in media. like. all in one place. its an all you can eat buffet of presentation issues.
anyway. again i really did like the story and i applaud the author. it was fun and im glad to have read it.
sung jin-woo still should've fucked woo jin-chul instead.
just finished reading the entirety of Solo Leveling after getting hooked on the anime and ough.
OUGHHHHHHHHH

- Heā€™s literally going to double down and bother him more
- ā€œLucifer you never told me you were taking on disciplesšŸ„ŗā€
- ā€œI didnā€™t think it was that important lord diavolo simply to pass the timeā€
- Simeon is laughing but internally having the feels bc heā€™s like šŸ„¹ ā€œeven after all this time you still choose to be a guardian angelā€
- Will tell you embarrassing stories about him he is now super close to you
- ā€œLucifer being the lords favorite was also the best one at singingšŸ‘€ he loved musicā€
- Thatā€™s tru btw lmao Lucifer was like one of the angels who liked singing the most thats what makes humans and angels so alike- love for music and dancing-

- Call him that during sex or when you first wake up and heā€™s on cloud nine
- FUCK HIM DURING GOLDEN HOURšŸ—£šŸ—£
- Heā€™s literally he rises in the morning for a reason!!
- He will deadass purpose bc imagine riding him as the sun stars peaking over the horizon
- Heā€™s under you moaning looking up at you w the most glazed over love struck eyes
- The sun filtering through the window and hitting him juuuuuuuust right
- That it looks like he has a halo again
- Breathlessly calling your name as you grind down on him
- He barely manages to get out that heā€™s close before you caress some of his hair out of his face
- ā€œCum for me then my Morningstarā€
- Time freezes for like 16 seconds and his eyes are getting teary
- He hugs you close as he starts rutting his hips into you harder
- Will cum and keep going until heā€™s about to pass out
- Holding you like a lifeline
- When you can finally breathe and think straight he pulls you in for a kiss
- Literally stealing your breath away
- Will say I love you in the most honest voice ever while smiling at you with teary eyes
- probably wonā€™t stop touching you all day might as well just spend it in bed
-is embarrassed by body worship calling it now
- be HE can do that but if YOU sink to your knees behind his desk and hold eye contact heā€™s getting nervous
-ā€œjust showing my devout gratitudešŸ’•ā€
- embarrassed how fast he finishes
- if you keep doing to overstimulate him heā€™s putty in your hands
- this man is very soft he will crack at the slightest sign of domestic romance
- bring him coffee when he wakes up?
- heā€™s already selected a wedding venue
- I always thought it would be cute if he gave you his ring
- HILARIOUS IF HE DOSENT TELL YOU LMAO
- You swing by the celestial realm and itā€™s crickets and youā€™re like ??? Fuck is yā€™all starring at??šŸ¤Ø

wwhat is project synechiae why is it so beautiful ogmygosh
I am so happy you are interested in it!
project synechiae is an original story idea that I eventually want to actually release into something real, though thats a pretty far-off dream for now and I am still pretty early in figuring out the logistics of it and developing it as a story. it takes some conceptual inspiration from shin megami tensei games, specifically nocturne, and others like resident evil 4.
the basic premise involve these sort of interdimensional parasite creatures. I actually drew a little conceptual doodle of them but its still so early and thats prone to changing
Tumblr media
they are mindless parasites; unlike other media there is no mind control or really any manipulation of personhood whatsoever, because instead they rely on natural human behavior and socialization and community to proliferate and advance their life stages and species goal
if anything, they actually help their hosts by making them stronger and giving them powers (extremely vague at this stage) to defend themselves with. These sorts of "powers" are actually possible because the parasite amplifies the host's "self" into something tangible and usable, I guess you can see it kind of similar to "spiritual" power but its not exactly that. A shallow argument can be made that they are actually more mutualistic symbiotes than parasites. but they re not thought of that way by the characters for several reasons, one being that their existence is felt as inherently violating, especially for those more affected by these changes. a second reason is because, while they aren't typical mind controlling parasites, they do influence and nudge their hosts behavior based on the kinds of things they give or do to a person. a third and very big reason is because they are probably responsible for the world "ending" and becoming a sort of strange in-between surreal space that operates on different rules but I can't get too into that yet.
as for the second point there, these parasites are vaguely eusocial in a way, they just again rely on human behavior instead of doing any of that stuff themselves. there are these "queen" versions of these parasites, choosing their hosts pretty arbitrarily, and rely on airborne proliferation. people that naturally start gathering together for protection and support will naturally become parasitized, especially as other parasitized people start getting stronger and more capable of protecting people
about those people with those "queen" parasites though: they have more access to power than other people, and their bodies are also in a constant state of mutating, with the parasites increased amplification overwhelming their bodies. these people are stuck in a strange position where people are incentivized to gather around them for support and protection and possibly pedestalize them, or alienate them (part of the parasite species's goal really, the point is to let people themselves weed out anyone unfit), and the story I want to make focuses on these particular characters and everything they never asked for and how the world is shaped because of it.
whew thats a lot of me explaining the premise. lets talk about the characters, starting with sinclaire, who has had the monopoly on my mind
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I haven't actually gotten around to posting these drawings of her yet but it bothers me to use the older stuff because she's not drawn fat enough.... oh well
anyway, there is a lot lot LOT I could say about her because I think about her most of the time but I will try to keep it brief. sinclaire (she/her) is actually more an antagonist in the role of the story, though will probably be the deuteragonist to isaac and their story who I will talk about later. I am talking about her first since frankly a lot of the premise and structure as well as the aesthetic of all I am going for comes from her
she is a 38 year old american-born vietnamese woman, who got parasitized and had the mutation center around her spine. she is actually not very far along in that mutation though since she has found a way to repress it... at the cost of some side effects. she is actively resentful of what has been put on her and wants no part in it beyond destroying the conclusion its hurtling towards, but that doesn't mean she isn't exempt from influencing others though it or can really fully resist the things it gives her. disdainful even before everything went down, and highly neurotic in a way that spurs a lot of her meddling.
one little but maybe important personal fact about her is that she is left-handed, but she wasn't naturally so from the beginning.
other than her, we have the second most focused on character in my mind, isaac, who is an actual protagonist
Tumblr media
I have also never posted this because I have never gotten around to drawing a lot of them on their own but so it goes
Isaac (they/she, you see me use "they" a lot because I talk about them too much wrt sinclaire though). 33 years old or so, egyptian, born in america as well, and raised jewish. Isaac is rather nihilistic, secretive, laid back, and is shown to be a notorious shit-stirrer and enabler as things go down. they are not content just sitting around and trying to survive, and at the end of the world as people know it, isaac would much rather get involved in the things they want to stick their nose in and find out the things they want to know, even at the cost of backstabbing or abandoning those that have helped them they aren't a particularly moralistic person
in particular, they end up quite fixated on sinclaire and everything she starts messing with and a lot of their story focuses on that and how that develops.
to isaac, relationships are often like a game to them, and social conventions as well as people with power are meant to be maneuvered around for their own personal gain. in a way, thats meant to foil sinclaire's own disdain, taken on a different form. the way these two characters react to their alienation and diaspora as well as their views on power and who has it is an important part to their relationship.
those two are who I have most developed both as characters and visually. I do have one other character with a conceptual design so far, but mostly because I was throwing things together in a collage style to get a feel for where I want to go with her. so her actual design is far from concrete but, here's joaquina
Tumblr media
50-60+ year old mexican-american woman (she/her). a widow who is strict and demands respect. the ability to repress the parasite was actually developed mostly for her sake, though she uses a lot less of that than sinclaire in the end as she comes to terms with making use of how things are now being a necessity
because of where the mutation is for her (her head and everything there), I am particularly excited in her story's focus in what its exploring in what it means to stay human, as well as breaking down the identity of a person who is older and more established in what they were, and what the world was. I don't have too much else to say about her yet.
other than these, there is another pretty important doctor character named gemma, who is connected to joaquina and sinclaire. and there are some other concepts for other characters but they are pretty vague for where I am at so thats most of what I can say for now.
the last thing I can talk about though is my dream presentation format for project synechiae. if I somehow manage to wrangle a coherent plot out of all of this and manage to put it on paper, I would love it to be as a visual novel similar to the silver case, which is also a huge inspiration to me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
maybe not the same detached surrealism in the writing, but the presentation for sure.
thats all very very far off thinking for an idea only in its infancy. but anyway thanks for reading this far if you have! I hope any of this makes sense and thank you again for anyone that has any interest in it all

Devlog #120
Hi-ho, Wudge here. Early devlog...!
Tumblr media
This week I drew a blush just for Warden and nobody else. There are two very specific ways to see it, and only in this office location. So... good luck!
Tumblr media
I playtested the game enough to get allllllll 26 achievements. I actually... had to reference my own walkthrough to get one of them. ;;; But I was able to do it!!
I also had a small.. incident where Griffin promised he'd talk to everyone to help fix their negative opinions of me (aka, reset the approval points to a more neutral zone after I thoroughly antagonized everybody).... and then he didn't. It's fixed now ;;;;;; But woo that would have been an awful lil mistake hahaha.
I finished the 'updating ur mc pfp' tutorial - seems to be intuitive and working seamlessly enough!
I converted converted alllll the pngs into webps, and converted alllllllllll the mp3s and wavs into oggs...
...and deleted all unnecessary files and notes from the development process. This is usually the stage where I'll end up breaking something from accidentally nuking an important file... but so far so good.
I put in a cute, special lil sfx for the reward you get after the credits.
Finish designing and coding my SECRET NG+ screen, and wrote a personalized dev note to put in it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And - we've finally updated Mr Whidden! Wahoo!!!! Remnantation did an amazing job as always!
I thought about putting in some animated smoke coming out of his cannon arm but I had to tell myself No... No Wudge....stop.. ......I did add a lil ember and smoke at the very edge of the gun but THATS IT I restrained myself there and did not animate!!!
So, what else is left?
Thanks I'm glad you asked.
Test my email subscription service to see how much I can customize those emails.
Film and upload the Griffin CG video.
Finish and import a few final pieces of in-game art (1 bird sprite, 1 background, some food art).
Review some sound effects in a final, final dev playtest.
Schedule out some social media release posts; wherein I might do like, a week of counting down until the game's release.
Finish updating my itch page (adding the final few lil graphics, putting up the new Content Warning, linking to the new video, then finally, uploading the game files and walkthrough).
Decide how I'm gonna update my pinned post. I should save a link to the old one bc most of its information should be quite relevant, but I'll want a temporary, shorter pinned post for new players who aren't familiar with this blog and are looking to troubleshoot or say hi or something.. Should still have fun attention-grabbing gifs and stuff from the itch page though. <_<
.... So yeah, mostly like - social media promo stuff. That should be it. Fingies crossed. Whew.
By the way?
Tumblr media
Super Demo comes out December 2nd. Mark your calendars <3
Stay safe and keep warm,
Wudge.

Sleepover Melodies:
Tumblr media
Hi this is a oneshot based on my au enjoy
NOTE: THIS IS NOT RELATED TO CANON IN THE SLIGHTEST. An accurate description of this au is that I took every playtime.co poster art and promotional material from the game and lit up the rest of canon in a bonfire. Meaning that EVERY character is part of one big cartoon. Thats it. No bigger bodies project, no child souls, no experiments, just a depiction of a cartoon. PLEASE do not ask me to do anything suggestive with anyone.
Now, a week ago, this would have sent chills down Catnap's spine. Boxy usually wouldn't be around for another three days, and Bobby stopped by earlier, not that she even knew where he lived. No one should have known his location.
There was a knock on the door.
But alot can happen in a week.
"Catnap, whew! I almost thought there was another cabin I should be looking for out here!" The excitable dog greeted him once he opened the door. Catnap stepped out of the way and gestured inside, inviting him in.
After a short moment, Dogday got himself settled and sat on the floor with catnap. "So....uhhh..." Dogday started, "what now?"
Catnap gave him a stare similar that clearly meant 'really?'
Dogday scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "Okay, I know, I know, I set this up so I should know what to do, but I only asked Kickin what a sleepover was!"
"You guys look a lot less energetic." Dogday stated. Bubba gave him a small 'mhm' in response while Kickin just groaned with his face flat on the table. "What happened?"
"We were supposed to have a sleepover, but SOMEONE decided it be such a great idea to pull an all-nighter." Bubba said, giving the most passive-aggressive side eye to Kickin.
"HEY! YOU STAYED UP TOO!"
"Well, one of us were gonna have to be the sane one, and with the way you were acting, my role was obvious."
They looked like they were about to go on another friendly snark-off, but dogday cut them off with a sentence straight from hell.
"Uh, guys? What's a sleepover?"
"All they did was tell me that you stay over at a friend's house for the night. It slipped my mind!" Dogday defended himself, but Catnap looked unimpressed.
Dogday deflated at his expression, and Catnap was quick to shoot him a look that could be described as an apology to rectify his mistake.
"No no, it's okay, we can fix this!" Dogday scanned the room. "We can just, uh, make our own rules! Yeah! That'll work!" He got up and started to take a closer look at the things Catnap had.
...There wasn't much.
Maybe a stray plate or something similar, but other than that, Catnap's cabin was just barely filled with the necessities to live.
Time passed, and eventually, it got dark. A single candle lit up the room. Dogday was still trying to find something to do while Catnap sat in the middle of the room, tired. Dogday was about to go report and possibly apologize to Catnap for the uneventful evening, but stopped in his tracks when he heard... singing?
He turned to see where the source was coming from, and lo and behold, it was Catnap. Dogday quietly went over to where Catnap was seated and sat next to him. Catnap seemed to be in his own world at the moment. Dogday listened until the end before complimenting him. "That was amazing!!"
Catnap basically leaped, not having noticed Dogday's presence. He took a moment to recall events and then proceeded to bury his face in his hands due to embarrassment. "No, no, it was really good! Do you do that often?" Catnap shook his head no. "Do you know any more?" Catmap paused for a moment, as if thinking, then nodded.
"Can you sing it?" Catnap looked surprised at the question. "I meant it when I said I liked it!" Catnap thought about it and decided to sing again.
Once the song was finished, he looked over, and Dogday was sound asleep. He got up and grabbed the two blankets he had. He covered Dogday, and after a few moments of difficulty, he fell asleep as well.
When Dogday was about to leave in the morning, he felt the need to apologize, looking down at his feet. "Um, I just wanted to say sorry for, you know, taking you out of routine for something I had no idea how to even do-"
"No."
Dogday looked up at Catnap, who was giving him one of his rare smiles. "I enjoyed it."

bts fic recommendations | 03.07.23
Tumblr media
ā†’ hi friends! this is a little segment i do every tuesday (reviewsday get it, arenā€™t i funny, pls tell me how funny i am) where i read and review two-three fics. as a content creator, i know how big of a role other creators play in your growth, therefore, i want to do my part in making sure everyone gets the recognition they deserve! so with that being said, please check out the amazing fics listed below. make sure to like, reblog, and leave feedback! ā™”Ā #reviewsday #kikirecs
Tumblr media
stardust - @euphoricfilter (jjk x reader | fluff, smut, f2l)
summary: Ā if jungkook would have known an unintentional orgasm would have led to this, then he would have begged you to work out with him sooner.
naur bby when i tell you i loved this from the first paragraph...
"If every living beingā€™s foundation is made of stardust, scattered when born, then Jungkook thinks the two of you were made from the same star."
Tumblr media
and the way you continued the analogy throughout was pure literature gold (or should i say diamond teehee). its stuff like this that i read and im like damn, the moots are really out here posting fics that could easily be published best sellers for fucking free!! how lucky are we!!!
OOF AND THE PILLOW PRINCESS COMMENT HAD ME LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM BLUSHING BC HOW DOES HE KNOW ME LIKE THAT I FELT CALLED OUT LMAO
and the whole workout scene hits even better after his workout live like i legit was able to visual everything... and sex in the mirror will never not be top tier :')
i love this jungkook dearly. this is how i imagine irl jk yk? just that hopeless romantic vibe, feeling that he has someone on this earth that is meant for him and he's meant for them. thats encapsulated so beautifully in this fic. such beautiful writing, thank you for blessing us with this fucking masterpiece!!
Tumblr media
knee high socks - @minniesvenus (jjk x reader | smut, college au)
summary: after being obsessed with you and your knee high socks for forever, jungkook can't believe that you finally notice him.
okay so do you ever just hear a song or smell a smell that feels so incredibly nostalgic and fills your head with dreamy thoughts and stars and stuff... that's exactly how i felt while reading this! like i just kept thinking of the arctic monkeys song and the way you characterized jungkook's crush is just so authentic. its just that pure school crush feeling where you anticpate seeing this person and the more time you see them you pick up on little things and it makes you fall even deeper oof. there's just something so fimilair about the way you wrote this and it's probably one of the most realistic depictions i've seen of the natural progression of a crush like uGH THE FUCKING TALENT !!!
and it makes you root for him so much like i was internally cheering for him when she asked him to sit next to him. it was so fucking wholesome and sweet i screamed
Tumblr media
and then shit got unwholesome real quick whew
her giving him praise actually made me so happy though! like you definitely inspired me to write more of that bc its so refreshing and cute!! and the smut was saur naughty but so sweet bc she was just guiding him through the motions and once again it just felt so natural which is no easy feet!! like you really hit the nail on the head with this one and it will be added to my comfort fic list asap!! so so so lovely!!
Tumblr media
in the seom: love for dummies - @thvhoe (jjk x reader | smut, fluff, angst, fwb, college au, camping au)
summary: always the friend, never the girlfriend. jeon jungkook doesn't date. at least that's what he thought until he met you, a chemistry student who seemed to have it allā€”except for love. meeting at a mutual friends frat party, you hit it off right away. however, due to both of your stubbornness, it has never progressed beyond being friends with benefits. the annual camping trip with your friend group was supposed to be the turning point in your relationship with jungkook. but what happens when your best friend of 18 years unexpectedly comes back from busan and confesses to you, further complicating matters?
OoF WHAT A FUCKING OPENING SCENE LMAO!! i was horny from fucking JUMP!!! and kook juggling between pet names and not knowing what to call her made me giggle but always made me extremely soft like aw :') &lt;3
and y/n really whipped that fuckboy into shape we love to see it!! he better buy gifts n work for the coochie!!! >:(
"PookiešŸ©¶: Can't sleep. Send me a pic of your boobies?"
this had me cackling bc this behavior is saur... annoyingly endearing like he legit is a big baby and i love him lmao even though unholy he is extremely cute.
Tumblr media
^y/n and i both having immaculate taste and listening to ditto
and i am so thankful things turned out well for this pairing. i felt so sad for him like ugh the protectiveness and worry over her. he was generally just so wholesome throughout this entire fic. def a fav protrayal of jungkook. thank you so much for sharing this beautiful peice with us my love!

Trans girl sydney thats all šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™
yes yes yes a thousand times yes. as obsessed with impregnating and/or being impregnated by the accursed cisgender sydney as i can be, i really do think trans* sydney is peak sydney, and trans girl syd is my favorite.
i think of her so often. p!syd doesn't quite understand the concept of a chaser or fetishization, she's flattered people like her but gets dysphoric if they focus too much on her cock. squirms uncomfortably being called a futa or a femboy but is too shy to say anything to the contrary. having said that! if she weren't so sheltered, she'd delve into corruption pretty quick. she'd absolutely be on social media posting pics of herself in chokers and crop tops and miniskirts and striped thigh-highs, extolling the virtues of gock and galls. dom 4 money, likes having a little extra cash for herself; generally a sub-leaning switch irl, though she won't pass up the chance to commit acts of sadism or be on top n breed. the kinks don't go away, anon, not in the slightest.
she strikes me as pretty likely to be t4t, would at least prefer someone who's queer so they could relate to her struggles seeking acceptance in the temple. her parents were very kind and supportive, and jordan was as well, but other initiates weren't always so kind.
when she finally meets you, it's just... it's so refreshing, to have someone who completely and utterly accepts her as she is. she's not like kylar, who doesn't care for acceptance so long as you'll keep your holes open wide for him. sydney wants to be loved, and though she keeps her secrets held close to her chest at first, being able to open up to you about everything... it's like a dam breaking. she's so so so happy she has you.
sex with her isn't quite as complicated as it is with kylar. she has her kinks, sure, but she's perfectly happy to keep it vanilla so long as it's pleasing you, assuming you'd keep her pure. if you corrupt her, though, you're in for a treat. she's gonna try to get you pregnant even if it's not biologically possible. raw dick in whichever hole(s) you have when she feels up to it, toys in them when she doesn't. fond of tying you up and making you stroke her ego. maybe if you call her the most beautiful girl in the world again, she'll let you go? ah, no, she's gonna keep you there longer now, loves the sound and feel of you worshipping her, can't resist the urge make you put that mouth to work other ways too. yes, balls in your mouth, anon. balls in your mouth. cock in your mouth if you're eager enough. the mouthfeel, anon, think of the mouthfeel!
she shaves as best as she can manage before she gets the cage off, and if you keep her pure to her she's likely to keep doing so. she knows cis women have pubic hair too, but it makes her feel dainty and feminine, so she doesn't particularly want to quit doing it. c!syd isn't so picky, but she will make fun of you if you ask her to quit shaving. you into pubes, are you, you little perv? should she let her pit hair grow out as well? should she quit washing? girlsmell for you, anon? sniff it all up, okay?
whew, that was a long one! i'm a little low on writing juice now, so i'll just give some ending notes... i'm the fondest of corrupting sydney post-promise, honestly, so i imagine that whenever i write about c!syd. believe it or not, i've only done rite of defilement once, and it was on a throwaway save. with cheats, even.
that's all for now. fuck, you can really tell i love women. send in more asks, everyone, give me more gock fuel and maybe i'll poast.

whew this conversation on misogynoir and claudia. if there's one character where there's no legitimate reason to hate her it's claudia. she's literally the embodiment of has never done anything wrong in her life. i hope someone (not me šŸ˜©) explores the childism angle wrt to claudia. because people be hating children and wanting to dominate them.
the fun of claudia's character is that she isnt a good person by any real life morals. by way of her youth, she could not develop enough understanding of complex moral codes [which is even more prominent w/ claudia being turned @ the age of 5 in books but even then.. ik at 14, i was hardly the pinnacle of morality and maturity, i was reckless & destructive, and did not understand consequence until it kicked my ass]. the moral dilemma of the actual brutality of vampirism is something shes certainly better at disassociating from than louis simply bc she was too young to understand right & wrong.. as iwtv novel said and the title of ep4 is, it is the reckless pursuit of blood w/ a child's demanding in ep4 that leads claudia to killing & disposing of bodies recklessly, a hurricane hitting lifting the bodies up, and her leaving. even tho shes a 20 something woman, lestat x louis tried to give her a second [or her first] childhood, and most importantly, her brain is permanently metasized w/ the thought patterns & responses of a poor 14 year old girl who came out of a fire on the verge of death. she leaves bc she cognitively is unprepared for & does not want to deal w/ the consequences that come with exposing this household of interracial gay dudes w/ a creole chid during the jim crow days to heightened police scrutiny. the question w/ claudia [& armand, and all these creatures] is that can u recognize their capacity for cruelty, the tragedy & loss of agency/life done upon them and still sympathize with them? for claudia, people already had a 50/50 view of her in vc fandom for 'getting in the way of the ship' esp w/ her oedipal [mutual] dynamic w louis, but in amc show, the relationship's certainly changed on louis's end. i cant say amc louis has the capacity to long after any woman much less claudia in that way, but there is a sense of [co]dependency on a black girlwoman thats much more interesting here. i got a post on that somewhere lol. im not sure what childism means but im guessing it refers to the denial of humanity children face by adults, and i definitely find that true. lestat and louis both want to keep claudia preserved in their memory as their little girl, lestat even moreso when claudia begins to question & challenge his authority as the patriarch.. louis picks & chooses when to regard claudia as a grown woman [saying shes almost 33 to lestat when she comes back, and when she cooks up the plan to kill lestat, evening himself out to be merely one of lestat's creations when he asks "can the children kill the father" to ease his guilt for his love and his hate for their maker, their abuser, his husband, alladat] and when to regard claudia as his child [even in the modern day when he talks about her, being protective of her diaries in the face of the white interviewer/audiences]. fans saying 'yea lestat, claudia should stay out of ur lovelife' is hilarious cuz lestat dragged claudia back into their lovelife in the permanent role as their child, when she wanted to leave in ep6, and made her to keep louis attached to him [cuz he thinks louis couldnt keep loving him otherwise]. shes a rhetorical device in the marriage: lestat loves her cruelty, louis loves her innocence, bc those aspects of claudia remind them of [how they see] themselves. misogynoir & childism, as u word it, may play into fansā€™s disinterest but also favoring an interpretation of claudia within the lines of their preferred party btwn lestat x louis, which is also why i giggle to myself when ppl tag claudia w/ either one of their surnames

here i ammmmm i hope this isnt the longest ask ever lol but i cannot overstate how GORGEOUS i find your prose. the phrase ā€œtiredness curls up in each joint like old cats in old cornersā€ is so absolutely evocative and paints such a melancholic, beautiful, rich picture in my mind every time i remember it. i could actually get it tattooed thats how seriously beautiful i find it. most of all i loooooooove the amount of social norms, architectural details, cultural differences etc etc you infused in the story to fill in the gaps of the canon universe. the choice of using of rice paper vs. glass and all the reasoning behind it is the example that comes to mind, but im sure that if i knew more about east asian cultures, i could identify more and more details you scattered throughout the plot to turn this make believe world into a truthful parallel of the real one we have. i can only say bravo. and if you have any recommended reading for homework, iā€™d love to know more about these references! now back to your writing! one of thee strongest points of the story, for me, is how believable these characters are as people. they feel so fully fleshed out that sometimes it was like intruding on someoneā€™s most private thoughts - even a little painful to keep going, and i mean that in the best way possible! i especially loved the subtle addition of zukoā€™s ingrained sexism and prejudice against other nations, things that ofc heā€™s never had reason to unlearn in this universe. he is compassionate, but can be very unkind - seems like a delicate balance, but in your story, it just flows naturally. you inhabit their heads, strengths, flaws and life experiences so well, like sokkaā€™s blind defensiveness when he thinks of himself as helpless, his brashness and ingenuity when he sees zuko more as a puzzle to solve than a person. that goes even people who haven't gotten that much plot attention yet - like azula wearing blue lipstick (!!!!) foaming at the mouth from the thought. OFC she would!!! shes bold, shes confident and shes here to shine + now she allows herself to have fun! do ā€œuglyā€ and ā€œimperfectā€ things for fun! and all the parallels between this redeemed azula and the canon zuko we know. your oc who is zuko's guardian, who he calls grandma, hasn't even shown up yet and i already love and miss her. uncle iroh!!!! zuko assuming malice from uncle iroh who only wants the best for him - but ofc he doesnt know that! but we do, and it hurtssss katara and aang!!! the bath scene with aang, zukoā€™s forced vulnerability, their honesty, aangā€™s absolute grace towards zuko. suki and the kyoshi warriors! i trust they will get their turn to kick some ignorant prince ass. and the thing that draws me the most to this genre: the exploration of trauma in its aftermath. your storytelling is wonderfully brutal here. likeā€¦ you draw a white picture by filling in all its shadowy contoursā€¦. if that makes sense. all the ways zukoā€™s life was affected by his father add up to the shape of his hurt. him not eating fatty foods to stay fit and "bend better". recognizing azula in his own reflection instead of himself. wearing his momā€™s night clothes. im going feral feral feral whew! in my heart all this wouldā€™ve been a very pretty glittery letter sent to your author p.o. box. i love your story and it lives constantly in my imagination - thank you so much for sharing it with the world!!!
ohhhmg.... thank you for this!! i sat on it for a whole minute to respond right! i'm so glad you like it!! i love that you love all these characters' new lives <3 <3
there are so many Very Careful Lines to Walk in doing an ATLA au bc the original characters and cultural stories are really so complex. and i am FAR from an expert on east asian history / cultures but here are a few sources that I found helpful / interesting:
jinian qian's writing for The Millions, especially the articles "The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight: On East Asian Narratives" and "Light in the West and Shadows in the East"
chaoyang trap, which is not at all about ancient china but about very modern chinese cultural existence, especially on the Internet / social media / fandom. I can't say this has directly provided me with a lot of relevant info but it does help me figure out attitude / approaches / how things "translate" into western contexts
and of course there are so many A:TLA blogs that really keep the analytical conversations going and make ao3 as vibrant as it is-- @atlaculture, @boybff, @volkswagonblues, @azularedemptionarcwhen, @chitsangenthusiast, @azulasnailtech, @visit-ba-sing-se, @marriedzukka, @bleekay, @ash-and-starlight, @sokkagatekeeper, @azulapropaganda, @zukkababey, @comradekatara, @ofherlionheart, @chaoticsandstorm
okay i will stop blasting this post into all of atla tumblr's notifs but the above blogs are total Gs, 10/10, would not be as deep into my MFA in a:tla without these trailblazing scholars who went before me
have a lovely vintage kermit meme, mwah

Kohei: No thats, not what I meantā€¦ Oh rightā€¦ the others already left huh
Kohei: Iā€™m feeling fine
Kohei: Aoi. Can you keep what Iā€™m about to say from the others?
Kohei: ā€¦This morning, I had a dreamā€¦about Sakutaro
Aoi: ā€¦oh
Aoi: Do you think that Saā€¦ That its time to tell Fuuta about it?
Kohei: eh..?
Aoi: Do you thinks its really okay toā€¦ to keep it hidden like thisā€¦
Kohei: To be honestā€¦Iā€™m on the fence..
Kohei: Actually Iā€™ve tried asking Fuuta 怌Do you know Sakutaro?怍 once
Aoi: huhā€¦
Kohei: But Fuuta didnā€™t even notice. So at that time I had thought that it wasnā€™t the time yetā€¦
Kohei: In the future, if there really comes the time we break it to himā€¦Iā€™m worried if I can even bring myself to say it at all
Kohei: What if heā€™s unable to accept itā€¦ and reverts back to like last timeā€¦ then what would we doā€¦
Kohei: I canā€™t help to think back to when there was even the possibility that Sakutaro would get damaged and his dangerous state of mindā€¦ I keep feeling like itā€™s too earlyā€¦
Aoi: Well thatā€¦ thats trueā€¦
Kohei: Maybeā€¦ until all the unrest within me is really dissipated, I donā€™t have the will to tell FuutaĀ 
Aoi: ā€¦I know how much what youā€™re holding onto hurts you, I really do. Butā€¦
Aoi: Just like what Misaki saidā€¦ isnā€™t it better to face itā€¦
Aoi: While with just us were able to keep it a secret, I donā€™t know if itā€™ll be able to stay that wayā€¦
Kohei: We can. No, it's the only thing we must do
Kohei: From now, and foreverā€¦
Aoi: Ko-niiā€¦
.
--[Front door opens]--
Kohei: ā€¦! Someoneā€™s back
Kohei: Aoi, this conversation is over
Aoi: I knowā€¦
Yamato: Iā€™m back
Kohei: Yeah, welcome back. Youā€™re home fast
Yamato: Itā€™s only you and Aoi..? Whereā€™s the other two?
Aoi: Misaki is most likely still at work. As for Fuuta, heā€™s probably over there playing again
.
[Riverbed]
Fuuta: ā€¦whew! Weā€™re in top form Sakutaro!
Fuuta: Its getting dark so we should probably get goingā€¦ unless I wanna get scolded by Ko-nii againā€¦
Fuuta: I keep telling him Iā€™m not a kid anymore thoughā€¦
Fuuta: Donā€™t you think so too Sakutaro?
Fuuta: Hm.. where did I put my stuff againā€¦
Fuuta: Ah, over there!
???: Donā€™t go running off on your ownā€¦ Donā€™t you-! Ā  Stop!!
Fuuta: Careful !!
??? (2): Hey! Donā€™t go jumping out like that! Careful!
Child: ā€¦waaa~~~ ! (Crying noises)
Mother: Iā€™m so sorry! Thank you so much! Are you okay !? Any injuries or scrapes ?
Child: waa~~... hereā€¦! It hurts~~
Fuuta: Oh no, it seems you scraped it hereā€¦ this is my fault, sorry kiddo..!
Mother: Not at all! If you hadn't stepped in there would be a much bigger incidentā€¦!

omg eden hiiii edennnnn :333
6. the word that appears the most in your current draft (wordcounter.net can tell you)
I'm fucking embarrassed that my most used word is "MIN" and my second-most-used word is "RYAN" and my third-most-used-word is "MIN'S" and my fourth-most-used word is "LIKE"
so idk what you want man. i write at an 11th grade level according to this website LOL
16. favorite place to write
in a word doc DUHHH
no uhh i havent written in a while (basically since getting the new job) but it Used to be, at the desk at work while i was supposed to be standing and running around and working haha,
i also like writing in bed on my phone, and on the couch on my phone :3 is the computer better? absolutely. do i pull it out ever? no <3 <-guy who is on their computer right now hence the lack of emotes
17hold on post paused why did it do this
Tumblr media
anyway 17. talk about your writing and editing process
so ive definitely talked about this before! but each part is difficult in its own way i think. if im not feral about a story its gonna take me a long time to write. but when i AM writing, i have to make an effort to set aside time to do so. i usually will try to aim for like, 100 words when ive made a decision to write. but sometimes its just a sentence! and thats okay, it happens! im glad to get something down when the going gets tough. but yeah what happens a lot is that as it goes on i get less excited about writing it and i have to really push to get it finished. i DO like finishing fics guys i PROMISE.
once its done i let it sit for between a week and a month. i dont look at it. i dont even Think about it (try not to anyway, lol). once ive decided that its editing time, i read through it again. this first time is not Really the time for spelling and grammar, but i do correct those things as i see them anyway. no the first read is for flow. do i need to add more detail? did a scene drag on too long? did a story feel too short?
(fun fact, in committing to the bit, i reread through it when i thought it was done and felt pretty bad about my contributions to it and felt like id have to go through a rewrite, complained to my cowriter about it, fell asleep, woke up to them giving me a lot of positive feedback, reread it again, and then added in a couple short scenes. and that fixed it.) (points to whoever can guess which parts i added in last)
uhhh and then after reading for overall flow, ill let it sit again for another few days, and repeat the process. if it feels good, ill go back in and read for smaller things. spelling, grammar, awkward sentences. let it sit again, read it again. once it feels upwards of 85% good to me, i decide im done.
WHEW. its a lot of letting it stew and rereading it. i think thats what it takes sometimes. that, and letting it be imperfect. its never gonna be Perfect, but there comes a point where its gotta be Done, u know? u know exactly what im talking about
thank uuuu for this ask ily!

Any aus that you're interested in? I would love to see something like police officer/criminal from your hands, whether it be a drawing or a fic
Also, (Regimen) Tord sometimes feels like his only purpose is Tom and all, but does he care about Pat and Paul? Equally as much? If so, Were Tom to hurt one of them (physically) what would Tord do?And would his treatment change, if Toms actions were reasonable (idk like self-defense) or not?
Does regimen Tord still hate "sunshine lollipops?" What would his reaction be were Tom to somehow hack the base's system and have it blasting throughout the whole base/army?
If Tord were to, lets say kiss Tom (in the state he's in now, hospitalized, unstable, and all that) what would toms course of action be?
And lastly, if toms team (the ones he departed from in his capture while being given to the red army) if his men could tell him something before he left, what would each one say? (Including matt)
Also i sincerely hope that you'll be able to take a break with all the work and ur siblings, i honestly admire how u can do all of these things at the same time, you give me strength! Sorry for asking so much, if you want you can respond to all the answers individually/on different posts since its so many!
Whew~! Had to grab my coffee before I answered this one buddy! And don't worry! I'd be happy to answer this in one go, never apologize for asking about my current brainrot no matter the length :3c Warning long post below
Any aus that you're interested in? I would love to see something like police officer/criminal from your hands, whether it be a drawing or a fic
By this you mean AUs that I might want to create myself? Well, at the moment I'm very attached to all the current AUs I have. That being Stay and Military Dads (Regimen if you count it as one, though its canon divergence, but technically thats also AU???). But if you means AUs outside of me, I really like the Frankenneighbors/Stitched Up AU by lunareclipse06, years before this one was Crisis AU by sleepyeule but don't bother them about that, Eule left the fandom long ago. Officer/Criminal hm? Weeelll, I'll think about it.
Also, (Regimen) Tord sometimes feels like his only purpose is Tom and all, but does he care about Pat and Paul? Equally as much? If so, Were Tom to hurt one of them (physically) what would Tord do?And would his treatment change, if Toms actions were reasonable (idk like self-defense) or not?
I wouldn't say he cares about them as equally as he does Tom, if they were all drowning and he could only save two, he'd save Tom twice. Still, he does care about Pat and Paul a lot more than most people, they're friends in some capacity and he has fought with and defended them before. He trusts them, and thats saying a lot for this version of Tord, being that he's so paranoid of everyone around him. If Tom were to hurt them, and he has (see: Pat's nose), he'd probably just sigh and chide at whoever got hurt 'I've already warned you before: Thomas is not to be underestimated.' But he would also probably punish Tom, just a bit of a light smack is all. Generally though, Tord thinks his verbal warning about Tom was sufficient enough, and if people still got hurt knowing Tom can and will hurt them, he'll just think they're stupid for taking it lightly. He'll be very disappointed in Paul or Patryck if they continue getting bodied by Tom though.
Does regimen Tord still hate "sunshine lollipops?" What would his reaction be were Tom to somehow hack the base's system and have it blasting throughout the whole base/army?
Yes he still very much hates it, and for everyone's sake lets hope Tom doesn't do that because it will result in the loss of a significant amount of lives, though knowing Tom he'd do it either way given his whole mental instability thing. But Tord is also mentally unstable, so after the initial damage has been done, Tom is most likely going to suffer something really bad.
If Tord were to, lets say kiss Tom (in the state he's in now, hospitalized, unstable, and all that) what would toms course of action be?
Canon-wise in my fic, Tord would never initiate, but sure I can answer this what-if. Atm, Tom is very very vulnerable, his body is all broken up and mentally, he's not doing well. He'd most likely just let the kiss play out, but he'd probably try to bite Tord if it goes on too long.
And lastly, if toms team (the ones he departed from in his capture while being given to the red army) if his men could tell him something before he left, what would each one say? (Including matt)
Aw you cheeky bastard you :]c Are you looking for unofficial-official closure for this scenario I wrote? You've got a lot of gumption coming to the actual author of the fic for this, as I never ever intended for them to have proper closure, as that's just how it is sometimes, we don't always get to move forward in life with everything tied up nicely. But for you, because you've been so sweet, alright. Here you go, an unofficial-official scene for Regimen:
The snow was too thick to walk through, reaching up to a concerning level at his legs, he feared what that meant for Matt, for what heā€™ll have to endure once his unit had been given permission to leave, he had hoped that their way out of London wouldnā€™t be too arduous, but that was a much too frivolous wish on his part, and he knew that.
Ā The air was so cold that breathing it in seemed to sting at his lungs, he shivered as he walked, breathing out shaking breaths that brought about a fog around his chin, circling his face before dissipating into the air. His injuries throbbed painfully, pulsing against his wrappings, shifting his temperature from hot to cold in quick flashes. The weather didnā€™t help with this.
Tom squinted against the wind, blinking furiously as his skin was pelted with the sharp chill of the raging snow. He gritted his teeth as the rebel in front of him pulled too hard at his restraints. They had tied him up too tightly, his arms ached from behind him, his joints creaked in protest, threatening to dislodge if he moved the wrong way.
His throat burned, the pressure from the rope around his neck worsening how it tightened with his anxiety. He feared that he wouldnā€™t be able to breathe, but every time his thoughts began to spiral, the rebel at the front of the group who were guiding him seemed to sense this, and abruptly pulled the rope forwards, like he were a misbehaving dog in a choke leash.
ā€œWatch it, Mask.ā€ The rebel jeered, his smirk only growing at the glower he received in response. ā€œCanā€™t have you passing out before we get to those dead men you call your unit.ā€ He scoffed, the other rebels around him snickered as they too watched for Tomā€™s reaction. Now that the once mysterious rebel leader was unmasked, most of the rebels who he had scorned hungered for any kind of retribution.
Tom didnā€™t give them that satisfaction, instead grinding his teeth against the gag they forced on him as he kept his head down.
ā€œPathetic.ā€
Tom heard one of them whisper as he was tugged forward again, though he didnā€™t expect it this time, which caused him to let out a garbled, choking, cry as he stumbled on his feet. He was able to steady himself before he could fall, but he could feel himself shaking, his body was at its limit, and this rough handling wasnā€™t helping to stabilize his condition.
One sweeping glance around him revealed an unabashed glee in the eyes of the rebels at the sorry sight of him. Tom committed their faces to memory, a small part of him still raging at their audacity to do this to him. After ALL he had DONE when they were too WEAK, too COWARDLY to do anything themselves.
Traitors.
Traitors the FUCKING LOT OF THEM!
He has had ENOUGH betrayals.
ā€œYou have 3 minutes, Mask. Make it count.ā€
Tom looked at the rebel who addressed him with the barest tilts of his head, but the man had already faced away from him and was opening the doors to Waterloo block without much preamble. The doors opened with a loud creak, the light from outside spilled in like a flood, illuminating weary faces on the other side, squinting against the sudden intrusion and billowing cold.
ā€œSay your goodbyes scum.ā€ The rebel who opened the door addressed Tomā€™s unit with a sneer, the other rebels stepped up to his sides, weapons on standby, which made those closer to them back away in trepidation.
Tom was pulled into the middle, the rope around his neck tightened too much as it happened, he choked on his spit, his mouth tried to open to take in a gulp of air, but the gag wouldnā€™t let him. His vision blacked out for a moment as he fell to his knees, unable to cushion himself with his hands tied. His head snapped down concerningly fast, but he felt the rebel pull the rope up, causing his head to lift up with the movement, he let it happen, as he felt his strength leave him exponentially.
He found himself staring up at a blurry ceiling.
ā€œ3 minutes.ā€ A voice beyond him said, sounding too far away to his ears.
ā€œWhat the fuck DID YOU BASTARDS DO TO OUR LEADER?!ā€
ā€œTHOMPSON!!ā€
ā€œLEADER!!ā€
ā€œTHOMPSON?!ā€
ā€œHOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HIM?!ā€
ā€œTHOMPSON! THOMPSON!!!ā€
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling
Stop yelling.
Stop yelling for him.
He doesnā€™t want to save you.
This isnā€™t for you.
This wasnā€™t ever supposed to be for you.
Heā€™s not a hero, this isnā€™t a selfless act. He doesnā€™t fucking care so STOP FUCKING YELLING.
He only cares aboutā€¦
ā€œā€¦Tomā€¦?ā€
Hands. Gentle hands on his face. Familiar. Smooth and unscarred by injury. It means safety. It means silence. It means home.
Tom slowly came back to awareness, enough that he realized that his unit had surrounded him, a few of his remaining fellow Corporals had put some distance between him and other panicked unit members, the ones who looked at him in concern, and the ones that looked at him with hope. As disgusting and vile as that is, at the moment, this moment, it didnā€™t bother him as much.
He looked directly into two blue eyes, shining with tears that fell freely down freckled cheeks. The droplets heavy with grief, and the tiniest sliver of relief at seeing him again.
Not many people looked at him like that anymore, with concern, with happinessā€¦.with grief, knowing that they might never see each other again.
The gag was gone, crumpled on the floor next to the person in front of him. He worked his jaw, testing it out as he tried to get the soreness out.
He smiled, small, pained, but happy.
ā€œHi Mattā€¦ā€ Tom leaned into his friendā€™s touch, his lower lip quivered as he tried to keep up his smile. Mattā€™s expression broke out into anguish, crumbling so pitifully that it made Tomā€™s heart ache. His friend began to shake, shoulders jumping as his sobs began to escalate. Matt bit his lower lip in an attempt to stop himself, his sobs turning into strangled whimpers as his tears flowed out in earnest, a bead of blood seeped out from between his teeth.
The hands cupping Tomā€™s face were trembling, badly. Tom never let his smile waver even so, he shook his head and made small clicking noises with his tongue. ā€œShhh, shhhā€¦Hey, donā€™t cryā€¦ā€ He whispered softly between them, slowly moving forward as he did so. ā€œMatt, come on, shhh its okay. Youā€™ll be okay. Look at me, Matthew, hey. Youā€™ll be okay, I promiseā€¦ā€ Once he was close enough, Tom gave him his best reassuring smile as he rested his forehead against Mattā€™s own. ā€œNo more tears now, okay? Youā€™re safe nowā€¦ā€
Matt blubbered, Tomā€™s words only proving to renew his tears. He surged forward, wrapping his arms around his friend as he cried into his shoulder. Tom grunted, a sharp, short pain lancing through him at the motion, but he didnā€™t make it obvious as he leaned against Mattā€™s body.
This was a warmth he was never going to forget.
ā€œW..What about y-you??ā€ Matt hiccupped against his shoulder, muffled enough that only Tom could understand it, being so close. ā€œT-Tomā€¦I canā€™t- I canā€™t without-ā€œ Matt let out a pained wail, unable to finish his sentence, his cries muffled into the fabric of Tomā€™s bloodied uniform.
Tomā€™s throat tightened, stinging with something sour. He swallowed hard and willed away the tingling sensation around his eyes.
He looked up around them, seeing the saddened gazes of his unit members as they watched Matt cry into his clothes. There was a hint of confusion in their eyes, no doubt wondering why Matt was reacting like this towards him. He wanted to shield his friend from their looks, he knew that once he was gone, there was a possibility of Matt becoming a target, it was obvious now they knew each other on a more familiar level than what they had let on at the start.
He didnā€™t want Matt to be his replacement. Never.
Tom locked eyes with Corporal Devinson, who was the only one watching them neutrally.
ā€œDevinsonā€¦ā€ Tom said, his voice rough and gravelly. ā€œI struck a deal with the rebels, theyā€™re allowing the unit to leave London, on the condition that you never return.ā€ Devinsonā€™s eyes widened at that information, along with several other unit members. Tom continued. ā€œCorporal, do you remember what play our Colonel was fond of?ā€
Devinsonā€™s gaze sharpened at the coded words. He glanced up at the rebels waiting by the door, watching them intently. He looked back at his leader. ā€œIt was cursed.ā€ He replied.
Tom smirked. ā€œYou should give it a read, at least. My favorite line was from Act 5, third scene.ā€
ā€œIā€™ll try, leader.ā€
ā€œGood..ā€ Tom felt Matt beginning to settle as his sobs pattered away to small whimpers and hiccupping. He gave Devinson a softer look, wishing he could hold Matt the same way his friend was doing to him. ā€œTake care of the unit, Devinson. Promise me you will.ā€
Corporal Devinson stood at attention, he nodded his head sharply. ā€œAlways, leader.ā€ Then his gaze turned sad. ā€œIā€™mā€¦.I wish we could do somethingā€¦.Iā€™m so sorry Tomā€¦.ā€
They werenā€™t friends.
Tom didnā€™t comment on the use of his name. He regarded his whole unit silently before he spoke. ā€œLook after each other, listen to Devinson. Iā€™m sorry it ended like this. At least this way, youā€™ll be far from the conflict.ā€ He shook his head when some of them seemed to want to protest, Baxton most of all. He clicked his tongue, quieting them. ā€œNo. This is how it ends. We failed. I failed. You have to leave. This is my last failsafe, this is my last defense to keep this unit safe.ā€
It was terrifying how easily he could lie through his teeth.
He couldnā€™t care less what happened to them now.
But Matt still needed them. Need their protection. He doesnā€™t trust any of them, but their sentiments were always easy to play to.
Hilarson had influenced them like that.
Tom felt something constrict his heart, but as always, he ignored it.
For Mattā€™s sake.
ā€œPromise me. Youā€™ll look after each other.ā€
The unit was silent.
Then they voiced out their agreements, though seemingly strained, as they looked down at their leader and at each other.
Tom sighed, he moved back a bit, causing Matt to sit up a little and look into his eyes again. His friendā€™s face looked a bit puffy, his eyes were red and still tearing up, his breath shook as he took in air in small gasps. Tom smiled sadly, knocking their foreheads together one last time before he moved to stand. Matt was immediately at his side and helped him up.
But before he let go, Tom whispered into his ear.
ā€œIā€™m sorry, about everything.ā€
Mattā€™s eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Tom was suddenly pulled backwards with a cry, he fell to the floor but was still dragged backwards as he choked and gagged.
ā€œTOM!ā€ Matt shrieked, along with the startled and angry yells of protest from the unit members around him as they all surged forward, trying to get to their leader.
They were stopped as guns were pointed at their faces.
ā€œTimeā€™s up.ā€ The rebel who had pulled Tom back spat. He watched in satisfaction as Tom curled in on himself on the floor, wheezing. He looked back up at the rebels with a scowl. ā€œGet out of London.ā€ He sneered before he jerked his head back, signaling for the others to follow him out while keeping their weapons trained on the unit.
Tom cried out as he was roughly pulled to his feet again.
ā€œYOUā€™RE HURTING HIM!! STOP!! STO-!ā€
ā€œPrince.ā€ Devinson stood in front of Matt, who tried to run forward. The Corporal put his hands on Mattā€™s shoulders, he ducked his head down and shook it slowly. ā€˜Donā€™tā€™ He mouthed as a warning.
Mattā€™s eyes darted towards his own, panicked. A protest rolled up to his tongue, but in a split second, he managed to catch Tomā€™s gaze just as he was lead out of the doorway.
Tomā€™s eyes, despite the situation, was just as soft as it looked when Matt had held him on the floor.
ā€œShhhā€¦ā€
Matt wouldnā€™t hear it, of course, but he knew what Tom was trying to say.
Tears fell freely from his eyes again, seemingly freezing on his cheeks this time, without the warmth of his friend nearby.
Tom smiled at him, sad, slow, final.
Then he was gone. --- OOH MINI FIC? HAHAHA ANYWAYS SOME NOTES: ā€œCorporal, do you remember what play our Colonel was fond of?ā€ "It was cursed." > Theater kids like me know we don't say this play's name: The Scottish play. Tom smirked. ā€œYou should give it a read, at least. My favorite line was from Act 5, third scene.ā€ > "Bring me no more reports; let them fly all: Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane," - Macbeth Act 5 Scene 3
That whole section was basically just Tom telling Devinson to go to Hilarson's safehouse in Scotland. The SCOTTISH play. Dunsinane Hill is in Scotland. Tada, I'm a fucking nerd. BUT ALSO TYSM FOR THE WELL WISHES!! Im rlly tired these days so Im unable to draw much for the blog but yknow. I'll have my time again.
