#yap away my friends

[fall0utmind]

hello! here to yap about your fic which sounds excellent™ 10/10 concept

who reaches out first? does valentino realise How Bad it truly was and feel bad for not getting in touch sooner? or something else? 👀

Hi,

Yay, im so glad you think so!!

Okay so in my head (I haven't gotten to this bit yet) Vale 100% thinks this is all a set up, marc trying to get media sympathy etc (absolutely delusion stuff, you know how it is). Anyways, it's like pecco, who's with marc at the press conference when it all goes to shit. So, pecco is like, um, I dont think this is fake. Marc is in PIECES trying to get through the race weekend (in ITALY, no less).

Throughout the weekend, more and more stuff comes out (Marc's mental state after 2015, the extent of his arm injury, including his very dodgy relationship with the pain meds, etc) and Vale's theory is falling apart before his eyes. Eventually he realises he's a fucking idiot and tried to talk to Marc. Cue miscommunication, Marc thinks vale is going to rub it in, call him pathetic etc and just runs away... vale is like wait what, stewing in guilt that he made Marc feel like this.

So eventually he manages to get through to Marc, corners him because the guilt is eating him alive and he wants so bad to remain aloof, but he's just found out the love of his life almost died, like multiple times, and it could have been Vales fault? So yeah Vale corners Marc and although Marc is super distrusting at the start, vale is grovelling, doing everything he cam to make things better. Taking nicely ro rhe media, texting Marc, telling the academy to be nice to him, speaking up about his own mental health.

Very slowly (he was really hurt before, he has thick defenses now), Marc comes around and realises vale isn't trying to hurt him 🧡

And they live happily ever after ✨️✨️

Hi, Howdy! Hey! I really love your novel!! I got a little confused by the 4 day, may maybe you help me please? who is it? why we got the bad end staying the night in Ren’s apartment and he disappear of the home screen? I can’t understand “unset memory” game, sorry if I wrote smth wrong or smth sounds rude, I swear that I didn’t mean it if happened, I’m really a fan of the novel, I’ve been playing the game since day 1 or 2 I guess, probably day 1, english isn’t my first language, but I tried lol

⌞♥⌝ I hope you don't mind me answering these as bullet points!! ^^

"It" will be revealed later in the game! So I won't reveal too much right now.

You can only get the Dead End in Day 4 by staying at Ren's apartment — the rest of your choices before that don't matter. I'd also pay closer attention to the black smoke and Ren's reaction towards it!

Ren disappears from the home screen because he promised to help the player out (and stop them from getting the Dead End again). Try replaying the game again from the beginning for a surprise!

"Unsent Memories" was another visual novel (initially being written by @10chimes / @unsentmemory, though the project has since been dropped and handed back to me /pos) and is set in the same universe as 14 Days With You. Its storyline and characters are completely separate from 14DWY, so you don't have to worry about them while playing 14DWY.

I still don't understand how Disney wants me to believe these are all the same guy

For reasons to be expanded upon at a later date (because I love the little bits about Boothill and possible paranoia/betrayal canon gives us so very dearly HNGH) I think Boothill like... He won't let himself fall into disrepair or anything of course, but he reeeeeeeeeeally does not like letting other people poke around at his body. It's a necessary evil to him. He does whatever maintenance and repairs he can himself. He started out with a massive knowledge deficit, simply because he didn't really have any exposure to that kind of technology until he left Aeragan-Epharshal, but he's taught himself a lot since then, he worked really hard at it!

Anyway, the point being, Boothill generally isn't super trusting of people.

But I think he would come to make an exception for Himeko, since he trusts Dan Heng a lot, and Himeko is one of Dan Heng's once-in-a-lifetime dearly beloved companions.

Himeko is so unflappable, I don't think she would even bat an eye about anything he throws at her, either. Like she enters the Parlor Car one morning (she's always the first one up) and Boothill is already there, waiting for her.

"Mornin', Madam Navigator."

"Good morning, Mr. Boothill."

And despite the fact that he blatantly broke into the Express (Pom-Pom is NOT happy about this JDKSAJDSKL), Boothill tips his hat, greets her politely, and is nothing but respectful when he says he has a favor to ask of her. Except it won't stay a favor long, of course- he has every intention of paying it back.

Himeko never agrees to things blindly, but she does bring up that all the knowledge Boothill contributed during the Charmony Festival was essential to preventing the universe from being pulled into Ena's Dream. And they were able to hold onto the Jade Abacus because Boothill used Tiernan's burial relic to summon the Galaxy Rangers instead. The Astral Express owes him a debt of gratitude, and besides, he's a friend of Dan Heng's. Of course she'll try to help him.

Boothill fidgets a bit, quickly brushes off the thanks, and tells Himeko he's having a problem with error codes. He keeps getting the same one, seemingly at random times, but the darn thing has no obvious cause. Dan Heng mentioned Himeko had been the one to rebuild the Astral Express. He knows it ain't the same, but it's not like he's askin' for any major repairs or nothin'. He was wonderin' if she could just take a look, maybe offer him some insight, since she seems to be somethin' of a mechanical wonder.

So Himeko walks him back to a another car, where she goes to tinker with machines without them crowding her bedroom. It's all neatly laid out and organized, and it only takes a second for Himeko to locate some specific device with a long cord. Instead of plugging it in herself, she holds the end of it out to him, like an offer rather than a demand, and Boothill visibly relaxes a bit. He still eyes it just a little warily for a second, but he accepts and plugs it into the port on his side.

Himeko pulls up the list of all recent errors, and they really are all the same. Boothill has had multiple temperature alarms over the past couple of weeks since the Charmony Festival, and they know it's not the environment, because Penacony is mostly dreamscape and kept mild year-round. The long-forgotten natural deserts are too far away.

Boothill is staring from the corner of his one good eye, so Himeko turns the hologram to let him see what she's doing easier. They don't appear to be false alarms. His internal temperature spikes and then slowly lowers again, high enough that if it lasted it would eventually cause damage.

One option is for her to start rooting through personal data, figuring out what he was doing at the time of each code, and tracing cause and correlation.

Instead, Himeko reads out the timestamps, and asks Boothill if he minds sharing what was happening around him when it occured.

Two weeks ago: He and Dan Heng went to explore Dreamflux Reef and found a bar- nice place, good atmosphere. Woman runnin’ it was a doll. Boothill left fer not even two minutes to get them drinks (Dan Heng knows like nothin’ about liquor, Madam Navigator, can you believe this guy) and when he came back, someone had already stolen his seat and was hittin’ on Dan Heng! Dan Heng didn't even care, just shooed ‘em off. Boothill laughed and said not to let him get in his way if he wanted to meet someone. Dan Heng looked at him like he'd grown a second head. Why would he want to leave with someone else, when he came here to be with Boothill?

Twelve days ago: While laying low- er, just rustlin’ up some grub- in the Moment of Blue, Boothill passed Dan Heng with March and Caelus playin’ on the beach, buildin’ sandcastles and the like. When he passed by again almost two hours later, they were still out there, with Dan Heng pullin’ March through the water on her inner tube and Caelus hangin’ off the back of it. He swam so fast! You'd think he was part water snake or somethin’. He looked happier ‘n a cat in a sunbeam… He has a nice smile, doesn't he?

Eleven days ago: Boothill was killin’ time in Dreamflux Reef when he turned the corner down a shady alley and saw Dan Heng, surrounded by three men demandin’ “protection money.” None of ‘em stood a chance, they were all on the ground before Boothill even blinked! So cool! Boothill wants to see that spear of his closeup- Anyway, Dan Heng stepped on one of ‘em on his way out, hahaha! Boothill stepped on the same guy a second time as he hurried to catch up.

Eight days ago: Here on the Express, actually. Boothill had mentioned bein’ curious about the archives, and Dan Heng personally invited him.

(“I remember that day, I saw you in the hall.” “Was there any problem with the heating that day?” “No, none. I don't think the temperature has anything to do with these error codes. I have a different theory, keep going.” “If ya say so.”)

Boothill was fascinated by an entry on aeons, and from a single question he asked about Lan, the two of ‘em ended up talkin’ fer hours. About aeons and Paths and Emanators, Acheron and Self-Annihilators, the Sea of Nihility, Tiernan, the Nameless and the Galaxy Rangers, their burial relics and their customs. Dan Heng finally just started writin’ and editin’ the entries in real time, with Boothill pointin’ things out and tellin’ him what to add in. They were at it so late that Boothill ended up sleepin' on a couch in one of the cars.

He'd figured there had to be something to make Dan Heng chatty- he'd caught just a glimpse of it that first night they met, sittin’ at the bar in the Reverie together. He'll have to ask about the archives more often, if it gets him all revved up like that.

One week ago: After that night of energetic discussion, Dan Heng was apparently hyped up, because after he'd downed some of Himeko's coffee (“You had some too, right? What did you think of it?” “It was great, even better'n chewin’ bullets!” "Thank you! That was my newest brew, I can't wait for everyone else to try it.") he actually asked Boothill to go hunting with him. Boothill asked who their target was, and was surprised when Dan Heng pulled out photos that looked like they were from March's camera, of all things, instead of a bounty or wanted poster.

And as he sat there, studying these pictures, Dan Heng explained that he wanted to hunt down these specific memory zone memes to record them into the archives. Planets with so much memoria are a rarity, especially with the Stellaron's activity thrown into the mix, which has surely affected the local “wildlife.” He might not get another opportunity like this for a long time. And Boothill had talked last night about his extensive expertise in tracking and hunting, so he should have plenty to offer here, Dan Heng would like to learn from his experience and see how he does things!

And oh, Madam Navigator, by the time Dan Heng was done speakin', his eyes were practically sparklin'! Just lit up like the sun! Boothill could scarcely believe it! The two of them couldn't even wait another day, they set out that very morning. It had been a long, long while since Boothill had tracked someone- er, somethin’- without the intent to capture or kill. It was…actually really nice. Nostalgic, but in a good way. It might even have been his favorite day on Penacony…so…far…

Boothill trails off as a couple of realizations crash into him. All the temperature alarms he's spoken about thus far- they've all happened in the company of Dan Heng. And now that he's thinking about it, he's pretty sure even the ones he hasn't yet talked about were with him, too. Dan Heng has been responsible for all of his error codes, every. single. one.

The screen in front of Himeko suddenly refreshes to the top of the list, displaying a new notification for the current time. Alert! Core temperature above normal range.

Himeko's knowing smile is sly as a snake.

Wwwwwelp, would ya look at the time, Boothill has some errands to meet, people to run, y’know how it is, he should really get goin'-

“Oh, Mr. Boothill? About that favor.” And Boothill jolts to a stop in the doorway because fudge, he can't just leave without hearing her out. He'd given his word. He has no problem running out on someone he thinks deserves it, but Himeko really had been kind to him to try and help him out. Her voice is just as knowing as her smile, Boothill can't turn around to look at her, or else he knows he won't be able to disguise the sound of his cooling fans kicking on.

“Don't make Dan Heng wait too long, ok~?”

“Y-Yes, ma'am.”

when chet moved to tulsa in the 3rd grade, his first friend was this friendly boy on his little league baseball team. he was the first boy to welcome chet to the team, and his contagious laughter helped rid chet of his new-kid nerves. they quickly became the jokester duo of the team. they'd often get distracted out in the outfield, miming jokes to each other across the grass during a boring inning. when chet hit his first ever home run, there was one cheer he could hear above the rest of the crowd.

in the 5th grade, when their little league team got new coaches, chet noticed that some of the kids didn't join the team. his friend included. chet's parents said it was a good thing, that the new league fees kept out the "wrong crowd". chet didn't really get the point of that, but he still had fun at the games. some of his new friends from school joined the league, and his parents seemed to like these boys a lot more than his old friend.

by the time chet was in 8th grade, he barely remembered all those inside jokes from the outfield. he had a new baseball team, new friends to cheer him on, new sports to try out for, and new things to worry about. like how his essay was absolute trash, or how his crush just started dating his best buddy, or how his head throbbed from a fight him and his buddies started with some kids last night. he vaguely recognized the laughter of one of those boys before the fight, how he tossed out smiles and jokes to ease the tension before the first punch was thrown.

in the middle of their sophomore year, when the newspapers were covered with headlines of a train accident and orphaned brothers, chet found himself wondering how sodapop curtis was doing. obviously he wasn't doing well, his parents just died horribly. and chet doesnt even know if he should go offer condolences, or if hes allowed to. socs dont offer support to greasers, he knows that. but he notes how quiet the halls in school sound without that familiar laughter ringing through them. he hadnt really, truly spoken to soda in years, aside from the rare school project that chet barely participated in.

he hadnt really noticed how much that boy's laughter had followed him through his days at school or at the drive-in or around town, until it was gone.

I'm super curious about your Kodai and Monoma post, may I have your thoughts on their friendship 🤲🏻

as u should expect, most of this is just headcanons based on assumptions that my big brain made since we know only the bare minimum about kodai:

kodai can’t stand monoma. or couldn’t stand monoma at first. i believe she manages to warm up to him eventually and starts liking him as much as he likes her, but his dramatics definitely rubbed her the wrong way.

honestly, i don’t think kodai minds being in class 1-a’s “shadow” that much. her personality doesn’t really do good with spotlight, anyway. monoma does though, and in her opinion, too much. she doesn’t understand monoma’s behaviour towards their schoolmates, and thinks its just rewarding their class with unwanted attention. which im pretty sure atleast half of class b thinks that, but she thinks it the most. kodai and monoma are on absurdly different levels when it comes to their view on fame and reputation.

oh yeah, their middle school lives were also drastically different. monoma being outcasted and undermined by the rest of his peers, while kodai basked in the limelight of people so much that they made a freaking fanclub for her (albeit she didn’t know). i love them they’re so different from each other they have nothing in common at this point

they both have concerningly blue eyes though, its scary ;; i blinded myself when coloring it in/j

what were we talking about again… oh yeah friendship.

kodai doesn’t want to admit she’s grown to like that guy. monoma boasts about it whenever its brought up. i imagine that they really start becoming somewhat friends during the play 1b did at the school festival. kodai finally sees monoma doing something he’s passionate about that isn’t shit talking 1-a, and he isn’t being an obnoxious ass about it. in fact, he looks elated to share his knowledge on theatrics, more glee than smug. its weird, she thinks, but she’s glad that he at least has other hobbies. monoma was more than happy to info dump on his fellow classmate that had no clue how stage play worked. he really did want to do more with kodai’s role in the play, but nothing went right when they did, so she kind of just stood there in the tower for a majority of the show. he’s dissatisfied at the lack of screen time she was given, but kodai was content with standing still like a mannequin. maybe they should make her a tree next time…

even after creating a bond, i doubt they understand each other in the slightest. that’s just how they are, judging each other for things that the other does because the thought of it is so alien to them. “agree to disagree” is how most of their conversations end. a mutual understanding that they just can’t understand eachother. only thing they really agree on is food, preferring sweet over salty. and even then, when monoma says “sweet”, he means cakes and desserts, when kodai says “sweet”, she means tomatoes and corn

also. monoma’s love language is physical affection. kodai is basically allergic to touch. they are a nightmare i hate them so much/j

Oh Abraham. What have you gotten into?

My @thelonelyshore-if brain rot has led me places... aka putting in Abraham in one of Jay's hoodies and headbands with a cup of hot tea while she tries to come to terms with her unfortunate situation

Go read it!! Can't recommend it enough

[cartoonsinthemorning]

Thought I might write a small blurb continuing my ask about Constance selling Ford useless crap while she rides that dick, but it is quickly becoming… ungovernable.

I guess I’ll… keep ya posted?

Anon dear, sorry for losing momentum!

But, I still do have fresh in mind the first blurb you sent, and SURE, I'd love if you sent a direct continuation, or any other scene you'd like to share! (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠)

Please feed moi, I'm a thirsty little flower~

Hey I’m new to the LMK fandom, why do so many people ship Sun Wukong and Macaque??

A lot of people like the hurt/comfort potential because of their backstory and because they’re just really good counterparts lol. Macaque even makes a whole play about their past relationship, which is where a lot of that fuel for the ship comes from and the whole “the hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon” spiel that people love using for shits and giggles. There’s also a really strong enemies to lovers sentiment and i think it’s kinda sweet

Personally, I just really like riffing off the divorced energy. To me, these idiots would rather beat the shit out of each other than make up and I really really eat that up. Not just as a joke, maybe as a way to cope with their feelings like “I want things to go back the way they were but this is all I can do”

If anyone ever wants to like rave about their fic to someone, I did the matching so I already know who everyone is writing for and what prompt they’re filling 👀

Joining a fic exchange is all fun and games until you realise you have to think of a title for said fic.

i'm moving out for college in like 3 months to a different city so ik thats gonna help a ton even w dealing w change. its now kind of just a matter of continuing on :']

[punk-o-ween]

i dont even wanna see the destiel meme bc its only gonna make me sadder so imma just say this: im gonna just let music, wwe, my special interests/hyperfixes and school drown all this shit out bc if nobody got me, i know they got me, so while this bitch is in office, dont remind me that he is after today!!! ✌️😋

bc i had a feeling this was too good to be true, more proof that america is misogynistic and forever will be! bc i bet if a man was running with kamala’s endorsments and hype, he would’ve won i fear

[tetzoro]

I genuinely wonder about Ariane and the Itous friendship they’re such a delightful little trio of outcast weirdo kids to me
