okay a few more danyal al ghul au memes because i think they're funny to make. with bonus yaelokre danyal memes!
yaelokre! danyal 🤝 threes! danyal: being five years older than damian
yaelokre danyal comes from my oneshot right here. however, i would frankly recommend reading the version i put on ao3 because it's been edited and includes more content! shout out to my boy, he's got amnesia </3
Do i think that the LOA has technology in it? Absolutely I do. LED lights but in 3000k warm white instead of the jarring bright sterile white, if they've got glass windows they're those solar panel glass panes my college natural science building uses that detects sunlight position, which in term controls the lights, which in turn saves energy. Amber lights for outside, solar panels. Just. anything environmentally sound and friendly, they've got it, they use it.
Do i think they've got computers and tvs lying around for casual recreational use? ....that i'm not so sure about. For this au? I'm gonna say nooooottt really. That stuff is typically reserved for like, mission planning, debriefing, research, etc. Frankly danny probably does know how to use a computer, however i thought it was funny if he didn't. so the meme is staying in lmao.
If they're not training, they've probably like, got a greenhouse or two somewhere on base they can help with. The LoA's whole thing is balance, harmony, restoring the natural world with extreme environmentalism. All that jazz. Probably plenty of ponds, recreational areas outside, gardens, just, stuff to do that's not technology based. My most basic understanding is that these people are the world's deadliest hippies. They can't be training all the time, that's neither good for morale nor for their bodies, so when they're not training... they're off doing shit. If Ras has kept this thing running for thousands of years then it’s gotta be pretty lit enough that nobody’s revolted lmao.
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#danny fenton is not the ghost king#danyal al ghul au#danyal al ghul#amnesiac danyal al ghul au#yaelokre danyal al ghul#hey i finally came up with an au name for my main danyal al ghul au! oh man i have so many posts to reblog. its called#things in threes au#im a good mom talia truther nobody @ me. the villanization of her character stems from post 9/11 racism that's slowly being undone#and there's not enough good mom talia aus in danyal al ghul aus. not ones i've seen at least.#Ras is not an idiot if he's kept this organization running for millennia. If he wants his warriors to be in top shape they *need* breaks#they need high faith and good morale to prevent dissension. Which means good food. things to do. socialization. things to keep them *happy.#Too much exercise is just as bad as not enough and your body will forcibly shut down if you do not do it yourself. Ras can't have that.#of course there's always ruling with an ironfist and dictatorship. but the league would not have lasted as long as it has if that were the#case.#ras may be a shit grandfather in threes but its still up in the air for yaelokre#we’ll see where the wind blows for him. the au is still young

i really hope people like my interpretation of chara for the pb au bc if they dont im putting my neck on a saw blade
#there is no possible portrayal of chara ever that can make everyone happy#i follow chara offense nuetral & defenders#Mostly neutral-defense though#which is where pb chara falls#and even then i may end up defanging them A Bit to make them easier to write? we’ll see how much braver im feeling after actually finishing#undertale again after all these years & finishing the fucking character bibles#we’re still early development . unfortunatley#all though the grand plot is in my head i just need to refine it#but if youre expecting someones whos only hobbies are murder and eatin chocolate youre going to be dissapointed 💔#i couldve made a new post at this point with all these fucking tags#whoops#anyways#theyre more selfish fucked up kid who needs to grow as a person#& im going to try n do that#but i used the term ‘defanged’ earlier bc i think my current draft of pb chara is softer than chara actually was in undertale#and i hope people are ok with that. im So sensitive#none of this shit is real im playing with toys#he speaks#perennial buttercup au#cw sui mention#cw suicide#cw self harm#tagging just in case. sorry i just talk like this

no major fic updates just yet guys TAKE MY WOY OC I MADE LIKE. April of last year IM PLUGGING SOME INFO ABOUT THIS GUY IN THE TAGS.
I may also redesign her soon or something. Make her more bug-like with some stuff. I can cook guys let me cook !!!
#THIS IS VAL !!!! dubbed her as a he/she er..#I have lore about this guy and his homeplanet Amore and the Lovebugs..#all that’s really important to know is that ive based the worldbuilding for Amore around svtfoe’s mewni#design wise mostly. I’ll emphasize.#in terms of the societal parts of Amore the kingdom kinda flourishes in the arts of all sorts and trade within the kingdom it goes crazay…#they were pretty closed off from the rest of the galaxy though. like their tech and stuff is pretty outdated compared to most of the other-#planets with atleast escape ships and all that fun stuff.#foreshadowing#ANYHOW lovebugs are silly guys I think of them as like weird hedonistic freaks of sorts#they have very big dionysus worshipping energy to them just to give a perspective#and of course they prioritized relationships and the different forms of love#romance actually wasn’t even the big thing that built the kingdom#it was more like a love for community and friends#which is also kinda silly because of the monarchy aspect to Amore and all that#OH ALSO these guys go absolutely crazy with fashion and makeup. gender isn’t a major thing in the kingdom in my eyes#you WILL serve cunt!! /silly#WORLDBUILDING ASIDEEE Val was the prince to the kingdom and was set to be the heir to the throne#the designs are like three different route ideas ive had for Val#the first is just a baseline design so like. pre amore‘s destruction from dominator#the second is like a good ending design of sorts to my ideal lineup for a season three for woy with val continuing to embrace the lovebugs-#history and culture even with Amore gone and a good portion of her people#and the third. is a bit hard to describe because it’s more of an au but it’s just a concept idea I had of Val teaming up with Dom#(it would be short lived like probably a few months max so dw)#and silly note i joked about the idea of val being an ex to peepers BUT I WANNA DEVELOP THAT MORE BEFORE I SHARE.#tap into that this may be cringe but i am free mindset or something slash silly TEEHEE#BUT YEAH Val’s just a silly gal in my heart and soul no matter what. ive missed her a lot i wanna work on fics with him and especially to-#develop more stuff for Amore and the Lovebugs before Dominator’s destruction of the planet#BUT YEAH i wanna Val post more. go into depth for their dynamic with the other characters and all that#I may cook some more stuff with him once I get these stargazing fics all set and whatnot SO WE’LL SEE!#also /nf but if anyone would wanna ask questions about val/amore/lovebugs ask away I’d love to answer any questions! 🥺

aalso as mentioned in those tags i haven’t been online much cause due to irregular constant fatigue and also being very mentally exhausted in general….. ohh imma so tired! hopefully once i get treated i’ll post more art ^_^ for the time being though just check my TH since i’m trying to steadily upload there
#it’s a blend of several things methinks#PTS has not gotten any better (say worse actually) and also the fuckass election and also. general things!#again i’m going to get treated since i may also be at risk 4 endometriosis but well we’ll see#(which is a kind of separate thing from a coupla weeks ago)#i’m alive though LMFAO… online and irl buddies alike can confirm

not sure what I want my next career move to be but I feel like it’ll be at a different company and in a different industry
#I feel like I’ve gained a lot of skills and experiences at my current company#but not sure I want to go beyond 5 years of working here#good news is once I hit 5 years I get a paid 3-month sabbatical#which I may use to do some backpacking/traveling and pivot to something new#we’ll see

*watches the prequel trilogy with the og trilogy once* GUYS I THINK I UNDERSTAND STAR WARS NOW
#star wars#I have enough chaotic thoughts that I could let this take over my blog for a short time but I probably won’t lol#it’s just that I spent the prequels going ‘ok but this is Bad’ a lot of the time#but then I followed them with the og trilogy (which I’d at least 60% seen before) and suddenly that new background information MADE SENSE#like. Darth Vader. he really IS protective of Luke from the get go. like. hello Anakin.#so like. parts of it are still a bit of a dumpster fire.#BUT I SEE THE FRAMEWORK NOW#brb thinking about Leia carrying her mother’s sadness. that’s a thought. ‘Beautiful and kind and sad’#like. just. oof.#I also actually understand why the prequels are Bad now which is fun and I’m temporarily obsessed with them#may watch TFA at some point because I wanna meet Rey and Finn but I will not complete the sequel trilogy lol#little bro says the sequels Aren’t Star Wars and I preemptively agree but I just wanna steal the good parts to add to my mind#may watch Rogue One at some point too#and then we’ll see if I submit myself to the devastation of the clone wars because I probably shouldn’t but also it would probably fix me#I’m gonna shut up now. I should get ready for bed.

falling to the music pt. 4 (jily)
a/n: we’re back again with jily because i am infested by brainworms. read on for marlene’s introduction, some little glimpses into what’s going on with remus and sirius (they’ll work it out, promise) and jily first kiss(es). p.s: the song the marauders cover is one of the boys by mott the hoople, and it’s a banger.
previous | next
Over the next good few days, the two of them text quite a bit. The habit just slips in, alongside her morning coffee and her nighttime skincare routine. James seems to be completely swamped with uni work, but still makes time for her, messaging her on his lunch breaks and phoning her up from the fruit and veg aisle in his beloved big Tesco’s to ask for her professional opinion on what he should prep for lunches that week. He sends her pictures of him brushing his teeth in his pyjamas at five o’clock in the morning, because he’s insane and likes to get up early, and she sends back photos of the sky in the evenings and her second (or third, or twelfth) latte that day. There’s a lot to learn about James. And, unusually in Lily’s experience, he seems to be equally as curious about her. He wants to know her favourite everything - colour, season, tv show, flower, music decade, sport. Then he wants to know why they’re her favourites, which prompts even more questions. It’s never an interrogation, though. He just wants to know.
Four weeks on from that first blinding meeting at the concert, then, and Lily is tucked up soundly in bed watching Criminal Minds on her laptop when a now-familiar notification lights up her bedside table. It’s James again - she can tell by the text tone. It’s different to her usual one. Instead of the normal chirpy sounding ping it’s a guitar riff, because she’s got a fucking crush.
James: hey lils?
Lily: Hi, James.
James: hello!
James: so i was thinking
James: we’re doing another gig soon, right?
James: and it’s a proper nice venue, i’m really excited about it
James: and i was wondering
James: if maybe you’d sort of almost kind of want to come?
James: you’d get all the friend of the band privileges and stuff, so you could turn up early (if you wanted) for soundcheck
James: and we could get you backstage too
James: oh and you could bring some friends if they’d want to come too
James: and everything would be free of course
James: drinks as well
James: idk, i just thought it would be nice to see each other so
James: is that like something you’d be up for?
Lily: Jamie, sweetheart.
Lily: I’ve been trying to send the word ‘yes’ since about six messages ago.
James: oh!
James: okay well yay!!
James: i’ll go grab the details and send them over then?
Lily: That’d be great :)
James: oh my god
Lily: What?
James: you just used a smiley face
Lily: Yeah? What’s wrong?
James: nothings wrong it’s just like
James: lily evans of proper punctuation and capital letters fame just used a smiley face
James: you would not believe how hard i am punching the air rn
James: i’m rubbing off on you ;)
Lily: Maybe so ;)
Lily: You two need to stage an intervention for me.
Marlene: hi lilsss
Marlene: bit extreme
Marlene: what are we supposed to be putting a stop to exactly?
Lily: Heterosexuality.
Marlene: oh okay in which case yes you’re correct and i am totally game
Mary: are we talking about james again x
Mary: lily sweetheart, you’re down bad 💗
Lily: I know, it’s awful.
Lily: However, would the two of you like to go out Friday night?
Marlene: fuck yes
Marlene: life is kicking my arse i need to get DRUNK
Marlene: tell me a time and place and i’m there
Mary: i’m free! x
Lily: Perfect!
Mary: where are we going? x
Lily: Right.
Lily: Promise you won’t take the piss.
Marlene: physically impossible, that
Marlene: but carry on
Lily: I may have just invited you to James’ next gig.
Mary: oh babes x
Mary: well at least it’s another chance for me to get a proper look at him
Mary: make sure he’s good enough for you 💋
Marlene: tbf if there’s music and alcohol i’m happy
Marlene: and sure i’m curious about this guy and his band
Marlene: no piss taken on my end
Marlene: this time, we’ll see what i have to say once i’ve actually seen the bloke
Lily: I don’t deserve your kindness.
Friday whips around like a bullet, and before she’s even registered it Lily’s waiting anxiously outside of the venue in the cold, all dolled up and feeling vaguely nauseous. It’s not that she’s worried - Lily Evans is a confident woman, always has been and always will. A man is not about to muck that up for her. But he hasn’t responded to her text saying she’s there yet, and her friends are about to meet him, and it’s only her second fucking time seeing him in person which doesn't feel correct at all but that’s how it is apparently and blimey why is it so cold? But then she can hear a voice she’s most used to hearing over the phone, and suddenly things just seem to quiet.
‘Lily!’, comes James’ delighted cry as he jogs towards her from around the corner. His hair is messy as ever, and his eyes are creased up in that big beaming grin he wears so easily. Stopping in front of her rather breathlessly, he suddenly becomes awkward, hands fidgeting.
‘Sorry, I- I’m just realising we haven’t really, uh, done this… Could I give you a hug? Is that okay?’ Lily laughs, somewhat reassured by his obvious nervousness.
‘Sure, James. I’d like that.’ He pulls her into his arms then, and God she could just melt. He’s got the same cologne on from when they first met which of course means he smells practically edible, and his arms are strong and warm and comforting, and yeah, she could get used to this. But then he’s pulling away, and the cold that she had temporarily forgotten about begins to seep back into her bones with his absence.
‘Will you introduce me to your friends?’
‘Oh, yeah, sorry. Uh, James, this is Mary, Mary, James.’ James offers his hand to Mary, who shakes it and smiles appraisingly. ‘And then this is Marlene.’
‘Nice to meet you, Potter. I’ve heard a lot about you.’
‘Nothing too bad, I hope?’, James laughs, leaning across to greet Marlene too.
‘Well, we’ll see,’ she replies, returning the handshake with a strong grip.
James takes them in through the side door - ‘Alright, Sean? Yeah, these girls are with me, thanks man’ - and through to where the rest of the band are hanging out. Sirius is laying with his head in Remus’ lap (whose long legs are dangling off the edge of the stage), staring idly at the ceiling and speaking softly so that Remus has to lean down to listen to him. They make a complimentary pair, and seem very at ease with each other. Peter meanwhile is sat behind his drum kit texting furiously, but he looks up when he hears them arrive.
‘Hiya James, hiya Lily! Hiya Lily’s friends!’
‘Dezzie still breathing, Wormy?’ Peter looks slightly shy, but nods anyways.
‘Yeah, she’s doing good.’
‘Glad to hear it! Come say hello, won’t you?’
‘Two ticks!’
‘Sorry guys, bloody impolite this lot.’ James smiles ruefully at the girls. ‘Oi Pads, Moons! Get off your arses and talk to our guests!’ At this, Sirius and Remus look up from where they’re sat together in the corner, pulled forcibly out of their conversation and back into the room.
‘Hey, it’s Magdalene!’, Sirius grins, scrambling up quickly and bounding over to them. He winks at Mary as he says hello to her, then turns to Marlene, but is interrupted just as he begins to speak.
‘Lesbian, mate. Don’t try it.’
‘Ah. Duly noted. Nice hair! Now, Mary, darling…’ Remus, looking slightly hurt after having been abandoned, hauls himself up to his feet and comes to greet them too. He introduces himself to Lily and Marlene (since Mary is in the middle of being distracted) and Lily realises with some surprise that it’s the first time she’s hearing him speak. He’s quite quiet, with a singsong sort of accent and nice clear vowels. She shakes his hand warmly and is reminded of her impression of him when he was playing his solo. Then Peter finds it within himself to put his phone away and also joins them in conversation. He’s somewhat awkward, looking to James whenever his voice falters, but Marlene asks him a few questions about the band and he begins to chat quite earnestly. James beams delightedly and leans in to speak in a low voice into Lily’s ear.
‘Your friends are nice.’
‘Yours aren’t half bad.’
‘It’s good to see you, you know. You look lovely.’
‘Thank you, Jamie. It’s good to see you too.’
The venue starts to fill up with the rest of the crowd about a half an hour later, and the girls are front row. It’s really exciting, actually. There’s that sort of pre-concert buzz in the air, the low thrum of anticipation that underscores the chatter and the indie rock music playing faintly in the background whilst people buy drinks. A few girls just behind Lily are scrolling through The Marauders’ Instagram page, the glow of their phones lighting up bright, curious faces in the dimmed room. It’s clear that they don’t really know the band, but as they look through their posts a sort of running commentary starts up. One girl likes Sirius, which of course she does, and speculates rather loudly and inappropriately about the possibility of fucking him. Another protests at this, declaring that James is clearly the hotter of the two - ‘Look at that man in this photo and tell me he isn’t fit as anything!’, she says, passing her phone over and wiggling her eyebrows. Lily smirks quietly to herself. Yes, he’s fit, she thinks. And he wants me. The feeling brings a slight heat up to her cheeks.
Her thoughts are soon interrupted by a round of applause as the boys take their places on stage, Sirius leading them on. There’s a short moment of fidgeting with leads and adjusting guitar straps, before Peter raises his drumsticks in the air and looks to Sirius for his approval. All is quiet. Sirius nods, almost imperceptibly. The sound of the sticks rings out into the hush of the room for four clear counts. Then, all hell breaks loose.
The concert is insane, to put it lightly. By the time it’s over, Lily reckons she’s sweated off about six litres of water, her mascara is slightly smudged underneath her eyes and her feet are killing her. There’s a dull ache in the back of her head that won’t go away and she’s painfully aware of the fact that she’s scheduled a nine am study session with Alice for tomorrow. She wouldn’t change a thing. When the worst of the crowd has dispersed, their excited conversation and loud peals of laughter drifting out of the room, she checks in with Mary and Marlene before beginning to head round to the side door. Both report that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, with Mary gushing enthusiastically about The Marauders’ cover of ‘One of the Boys’ and Marlene conceding that yes, they were quite good actually. Lily smiles giddily at having earnt her seal of approval, mentally congratulating James for passing the test. It’s cold when they get outside. The night is sweeping and gorgeous as they step out into the street, all bright lights and rushing cars, and there’s a sort of breathless exhilaration in being at the centre of it.
Lily’s just about to knock when the door is pulled quickly open from the other side. The sudden absence of it surprises her, and she loses her balance somewhat, which sends her stumbling forwards a few paces. Stumbling straight into James, as it happens.
‘Hey, steady on, mate- oh. It’s you!’ Lily rights herself quickly, startled, and blinks rapidly at him, the tops of her ears tinged ever so slightly pink. James looks down at her rather fondly and cracks a broad, easy grin.
‘Sorry Lily. I didn’t mean to give you a fright! I thought you’d be, y’know. Further away.’
‘Don’t worry, just a bit… unexpected, is all. You were amazing tonight.’
‘Thank you! I tried to look in your direction as much as I could, but I think I lost track of you towards the end a bit. Did you have a good time?’ He directs the last part to the group, peering over Lily’s head at Mary and Marlene and raising a hand to wave at them good-naturedly. This seems to suddenly make Lily aware of their proximity, as she moves back a bit to join ranks with her friends.
‘Yes, thanks,’ nods Marlene, in response to his question. ‘You guys aren’t half bad.’
‘Cheers, that means a lot.’
‘Will Sirius be coming out?’, Mary inquires. Lily shoots her a look, but she simply shrugs her shoulders and waits unabashedly for a response. James becomes awkward.
‘No, sorry, I don’t think so. He’s a bit, uh… occupied.’
‘He’s snogging Remus,’ yells a disembodied voice from beyond the doorway. It soon reveals itself to be Peter, who claps a hand on James’ shoulder and acknowledges the girls with a quick smile. ‘Quite thoroughly, actually’, he adds, matter-of-factly.
‘Oh. I didn’t know those two were an item,’ says Mary, looking a bit put out. James sighs, and rubs a hand across his forehead.
‘They’re not together, technically, it’s- it’s complicated. Did you really have to rat them out like that, Wormtail?’
‘It’s in the name, Prongsie-boy, it’s in the name.’
‘Yeah, well, anyways. Forget that. How are you ladies getting home? D’you need a lift?’
‘No, thank you, Jamie,’ Lily replies. ‘We can make our own way home just fine.’
‘You sure? I really wouldn’t mind, it would be my pleasure.’
‘The bloke’s offering, Lils. May as well take him up on it - especially if it’s a pleasure,’ presses Marlene, arching an eyebrow and smirking at her in a way that few would consider subtle. Lily pokes her tongue out back, but relents.
‘I mean, it would be useful, so long as you’re absolutely sure it’s no trouble.’
James’ car is nice; the kind of nice where you’re scared of getting in with mud on your shoes and it appears whoever designed it had an intense phobia of colours and non-curved objects. Heated-seats-nice. That bit’s pretty bloody lovely, to be fair. James, however, doesn’t seem to notice that it’s nice, and flops into the driver’s seat without a care in the world, slamming the car door and swivelling round in his seat to grin at the girls.
‘Chauffeur James, at your service. Where are we going?’
They drop off Mary first, since her house is pretty much on the way to Marlene and Lily’s. She thanks James for the ride, says her goodbyes to both her friends and disappears through the front door with a flurry of shouts about meeting up again soon as she blows giggling kisses over her shoulder. James’ eyes crease up amusedly as he watches her go. Then Lily taps her and Marlene’s address into the sat nav, and off they go again, cruising steadily past streetlights and takeaway places. Inside the car is pleasantly warm and the world outside seems to dissolve into a dreamy blur of softened shapes and colours. It’s nicer than public transport, Lily is forced to admit to herself. She watches James’ relaxed manner as he drives, smiles sleepily to herself and enjoys the soft, safe feeling that has begun to cradle her chest. Home comes far too quickly.
‘Here we are,’ James announces rather uselessly to the inhabitants of the house he’s just pulled up in front of. ‘Give me a minute, I’ll come round and open the door for you guys.’ He does as much, and Lily and Marlene get out, forced to sacrifice the warmth of the car for the brisk chill of the night outside it. Lily is distantly aware that this is her cue to say goodbye and go inside. This understanding hasn’t seemed to translate to her limbs just yet though, because she’s making no effort to actually walk towards the door. Marlene looks at her friend, then at James - who’s practically her mirror image opposite her - then sighs in a way that suggests she’s tired of being stuck in the middle of them.
‘I’ll be in my room if you need me, Lils. Have fun… standing.’ Lily blinks, then nods slowly.
‘Sure. I won’t be long.’
‘Yeah, okay. Thank you, James, for the lift and the night out. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing you again so, until then.’ Marlene waves at him, and departs.
‘So. This is your house. This is where we… part ways for the night, yeah?’ James says once she’s gone. He’s looking at Lily with big eyes like a rather mournful puppy, which is a fairly accurate representation of how she feels about having to say goodbye too.
‘I guess. We can chat for a bit though, can’t we? I know I’ve been watching you on stage all night, but I feel like I haven’t really seen you.’
‘Sure, yes, perfect, love that. Chatting. Hi!’ Lily covers a laugh with her hand and looks down at her feet.
‘Hello, Jamie,’ she replies, composing herself just enough to look him in the eyes again. Her cheeks ache from smiling.
‘You know you’re one of three people in my life to call me that?’
‘Am I really?’
‘Mhmm. It used to be just Sirius and my mum, but now it’s Sirius, my mum and… you. It’s weird.’
‘Should I stop?’
‘No, no, absolutely not. I like it. I like being Jamie to you.’ James’ voice is soft and shy.
‘Okay.’ Lily stares at him again awkwardly, lost for what to say to prolong the conversation but still not wanting to leave just yet. They’re both just smiling at each other quietly like giddy children.
‘Oh, you know what? To hell with it!’, Lily says suddenly. Then, with a business like tone and all in one breath: ‘James Potter, I have had a very nice evening and I think I should like to be kissed goodnight to round it off. Do you feel the same?’ James’ eyes widen a fraction as he processes, then flick to her lips. He takes a step closer, closing the gap that Marlene’s departure created, and brings a gentle hand up to cup her face.
‘Yes. Yes, I think I do,’ he says, before tilting his head and leaning in to kiss her sweetly. It’s a short kiss, tentative and caring, but when they pull apart he’s breathless from nerves. Lily grins at him.
‘Alright there?’
‘Yeah, uh… yeah. Glasses.’
‘What about them?’, asks Lily teasingly.
‘Not very conducive to kissing you properly.’
‘Well, we can’t have that. Kissing me properly is very important. Want me to take them off for you?’
‘Yeah. Yes, please. God, my brain’s gone to mush.’
‘I sometimes have that effect.’ Laughing, she removes James’ glasses, taking care not to poke him, and folds them shut. ‘That better?’
‘Much,’ James affirms, wrapping his free arm around her waist and pulling her into another kiss, this time deeper and more confident. Lily hums with approval, and reaches up to tangle her hands in his hair. Making out with James exceeds expectations, she finds, and a dizzying euphoria takes over her as he walks her backwards so that she’s up against the car. The two of them get lost in each other for a while. They fit easily together, exploring and enjoying each other with pleasant curiosity. James treats her tenderly, going slow and generally following her lead. Lily, for her part, has been thinking about this ever since James first got up on that damned stage, and very much intends to make the most of it. But then he’s hesitating, and breaking away from her, which is bloody unfair because they were just getting started, and he’d better have a good reason for this because all she really wants to do right now is to continue snogging him senseless. She leans back against the cool metal of the car with her arms crossed and peers at him inquiringly.
‘Lils… don’t get me wrong, this is like the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I am absolutely on cloud nine right now… but it’s, uh, it’s late. You told Marlene you wouldn’t be long, and I don’t want her to worry or anything. I’m sorry.’ Lily stares up at him and his sweet, sincere little face and finds herself simultaneously irked and endeared by him. Ugh. Curse him and his gentlemanly ways.
‘Yeah, that is true. God, you’re too nice for your own good. If you didn’t remind me about that we could have fucked in your car.’ James’ mouth falls open with a flustered expression. Lily snorts. ‘It’s fine, you can just dream of me for the time being. Save the sex for another day.’
‘Wow. Um, okay. You know Lily, you don’t make it easy for respectable blokes like me.’
‘That’s ‘cause it’s more fun,’ she giggles cheekily, tapping him on the nose. ‘Right. I’ll be off then. Thank you for my goodnight kiss - or kisses, actually - and text me when you’re home, okay Jamie?’
‘Of course. Goodnight, Lily Evans.’
‘Goodnight.’

a moment of silence for the fact that I truly genuinely thought starting everyone’s crocheted Christmas gifts in November would work out for me
#I have 3 stuffed animals to make (one of which I don’t have yarn or a pattern for)#one to finish#a cardigan (?) short sleeved outer top (? we’ll see where the yarn ends) to finish (I’m almost done with only the back panel#a whole ass life sized plant to make complete with worm in dirt#this may not seem like a lot when you consider Christmas is in 10+ days#but I have like 3 days off until then so :)#I do have a whole blanket made though with weight 4 yarn#and I did the pattern myself so that’s something to check off the list

The visceral and hungering loneliness is back. You know what that means! Bedtime
#😴😴😴😴#sweet dreams hehehe I’m sure I will feel better in the morning#🤞#but jokes aside like. I’m okay I think I’m just moody bc it’s late at night and I’m overthinking. the usual#I do really miss my friends and family#and feeling that old but always recurring longing for new friends#I’m slowly befriending people in my music classes and slowly joining some clubs as well soooo we’ll see#idk I also just see all of my mutuals being friendly with each other and I yearn for it so so deeply#kinda silly but I just like to share interests with people#and have a Space together if that makes sense#anyway I know I could just like reach out to people but I’m nervous lol#probably more embarrassing to post publicly about it like 1-3 times a month lol#but it feels impersonal this way like I’m writing in a diary or something#speaking of which. I need to start working on my diary again LOL#I kept one for all of two days a little over a month ago#and then I forgot it one night and refused to keep working on it bc I ‘messed it up’ by forgetting#aaaaah anyway goodnight ❤️#this ramble was maybe a bit too personal but I’ve posted worse shit I think lol#may or may not delete in the morning#sweet dreams! :)#wackyposting

Okay, i didn’t write more of Barf and Belch psychologically torturing the dragon training initiates, BUT, i did roughly outline the first four seasons of RTTE. Like, episode layout and which canon episodes are gonna be in those four seasons. Actual episode layout and all the original episodes and arcs and tying all the episodes to one another and to all the plots and arcs that happen later down the line will be done on another day, but i got the seasons roughly planned! Only problem is that RTTE got bumped up from my original nine to ten seasons, because i wanted to extend the plot i was building
#TEN SEASONS#RTTE in canon has six seasons#and then i went and added FOUR WHOLE EXTRA SEASONS#though to be fair#to me at least#I’m adding game arcs and plots from School of Dragons#and then stuff from the deep#(which may end up being a few seasons on its own instead of my intended one)#(i haven’t gotten aroudn to actually outlining that part of the show yet we’ll see what happens)#and I’m also cramming the second movie in as a season itself#soooo….of course RTTE ended up being extended#its just that the more i dive into the overall story itself and its prolonged arcs and stuff#the LONGER it gets#so im just gonna refer to RTTE as-#CURRENTLY ten seasons#instead of plain old ‘ten seasons long straight up’#because WHO KNOWS what else might happen at this point :D#httyd/the deep crossover#outlining is both fun and painful#I’ll get to properly outlining those four seasons when i get more progress on the chapter im currently working on#and when i get more corkboards
