#yeah that one post about how you can make anything be about your otp yeah that's me with them

[crispyflowerblaze]

billy joel songs that are just conceptually funny to me

that awkward moment when you go home with a guy and he thinks you want to hook up but you really just wanted to hear him play the saxophone. and this ends up ruining his life (christie lee; an innocent man)

when you're so distracted by your beautiful wife that you can't get anything done and all your friends make fun of you (temptation; the bridge)

stop being so mean to my wife!!!! (that's not her style; storm front)

phone sex (sometimes a fantasy; glass houses)

(i'm making a les mis reference, sorry if this makes no sense to you because you don't have enjoltaire brain rot lmao) ... literally just how grantaire would think of enjolras if he wasn't in love with him (prelude/angry young man; turnstiles)

huh, thought i would've had more lol

[franzkafkagf]

Your post about bi Aegon inspired this, top five Aegon ships? 👀 I have an inkling as to what number one will be though 😭🫶

HIIII MEGAN🫶 thanks for asking i love yapping about aeggy omg….

1. rhaegon -> yeah you probably guessed that one😭 otp to rival all otps. their joint slay wouldve saved the realm + prevented the long night + they were literally born to marry each other

2. helaegon -> unwillingly bound by faith, doomed siblings, very „robert was crazed, beat his hands bloody on the wall, all the things men do to show you how much they care“ theyre so tragedy unwillingly star-crossed coded it acc makes me physically unwell

3. aegon x any one of his besties -> ok this might be a bit insane but ive never really vibed a lot w the more popular m/m ships for aegon (jace n aemond) bc they seem too ooc for me… like aemond is NOT touching him w a seven foot pole😭 his besties in s2 on the other hand….? i know weve barely seen anything of them but i know aegon can be the bratty power bottom w any of them. i mean he is LITERALLY letting them see him at his worst after b&c and they have this weird dynamic going on w them sitting st his feet? powerful power bottom vibes coming from aeggy im afraid

4. aegon n alicent -> welcome back oedipus and jocasta (i‘ll see myself out😂👋)

5. aegon n daemon -> the uncle fuckery is acc INSANE

We need more Nami x Kaya content. Even Vivi x Kaya content. As a treat. Sapphic One Piece crackpairs are my serotonin

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜

I was actually thinking about this when making the "opinion on different OP ships" thing! Because I was like "mmm Sanuso is my OTP but also Namivivi and tbh that's just a polycule bc I ship Nami with these two too... And Kaya needs to be there...". And now I can't stop thinking also about Namivivi x Kaya--

I mean. Nami x Kaya is just amazing and OPLA gave us SO much content I wasn't expecting but gladly accepted as canon. Because they're both from pretty different environments when it comes to money and social upbringings but they both lost their families. Nami finds comfort in money while Kaya sees it pointless if you don't have anybody to share it with. It gives both of them different perspectives of the world around them and I think their dynamic is sooo well done. Kaya is the sweetest but she fights for herself when she can and Nami might run away from danger but she will never leave alone somebody in need of help. Also, they're both pretty motherly and attached to kids and idk I think their relationship would work SO well. Adding Kaya to the Sanusona polycule is the best thing ever to me.

And Vivi x Kaya!!!!! I wasn't thinking about it until I made the post but now that I do I can't,,,, Stop picturing them,,,, They're like "yeah this is my girlfriend's girlfriend" but they'd end up getting along SO well. Once again I think they'd be so cute together and they'd support each other so much. Vivi would understand that your position/money doesn't make you who you are and Kaya would admire Vivi's strength and her story. Also, all of them here understand the loss of parents but I think that being a public figure makes the experience even worse because it comes with responsibility others besides Vivi and Kaya won't understand. Vivi is the princess who managed to travel and become a pirate for a while and see the world and I think Kaya (even if she is happy in her village and doesn't need anything else) would want a bit of that freedom too!

For now, this is like, my favorite ship, I think? But tbh it just goes attached to the whole East Blue polycule just... A bit different than how other people ship them? Usopp and Kaya are already dating when the story starts, then Sanuso and Namivivi happen separately, I like to think Usonami have something going on but it doesn't happen anything until WCI when Nami realizes her feelings for Sanji, and then when they come back, Kaya has like. A ton of people to love and I adore them. Also Sanji has something with Luffy and Luffy has something with Zoro but this isn't about them--

I feel also the need to clarify that to me Usopp's gender is pretty much unlabeled and Sanji's like, transfem/genderfluid so my lesbian Nami hc still stands AND it just makes things even better because this way they're all sapphics and we deserve more sapphic ships here <33

[zeravmeta]

*Hopes for the as least of a harsh response* Yuya Sakaki

Why I like them/why I don’t:

さぁ、お楽しみはこれからだ！

What the hell can I say about Yuya that I haven't already said in the past decade. Arc-V is the series that got me out of my ygo hiatus and back into the series as a whole, and Yuya is a big part of that. I've written metas on him in the past which you can find on my blog, but whats always stuck out to me about Yuya is that he's kind of a pathetic depressed loser failure (best way possible) but still drags himself back up. We see him stumble so damn much throughout the show and he does fail and lash out and suffer and make things worse BUT HE STILL GETS BACK UP!!!!

HE!!! TAKES THE STEP FORWARD!!! WITH COURAGE!!! HE WEARS A SMILE!!!!!! NOT BECAUSE IT IS EASY!!! OR BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PLEASE THE AUDIENCE!!! BUT BECAUSE A SMILE CAN HELP YOU FEEL COURAGE!!!!! BECAUSE PENDULUM IS THE RANGE, THE OSCILLATION BETWEEN JOY AND SADNESS!!! IT'S AN EXCHANGE, A CONVERSATION!!!! A WAY TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM UNDERSTAND YOUR VIEW!!! ENTERTAINMENT CAN BRIDGE THE TRAGEDIES OF WAR BECAUSE WHATS MORE UNIVERSAL THAN THE SMILES IT CAN BRING!!!!!!

I've made the joke before but he is the closest analogue yugioh has ever had to shirou emiya which is a hilarious statement but it's true, from clinging to his fathers ideals because he knows no other way to live to his genuine mercilessness when pushed to the edge, all the way down to the living weapon metaphors and transfem subtext

What I like about their appearance: I think Yuya's design is unironically the best out of the protags, he just combines so many aspects of what makes previous protags designs work, but specifically I also love that they put him in different outfits. I have such a soft spot for his clown outfit and his riding duel outfit is sleek and minimalist.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: Sub only man, again I have a candid vitriol of YGO dubbing past DM because it turned any serious dubbing of ygo into a joke

OTP: As an Arc-V fan I'm under a binding geas so it is physically mentally and spiritually impossible for me to answer anything other than Fruitshipping here.

NOTP: probably the only one of these I hold but out of all the protag/rival ships across all ygo, yuya/reiji never actually compelled me all that much.

OT3: I while ago I made a post talking about how awesome the fucked up codependency of yuya/serena/shun could have been so yeah here. IG fruit salad also works here, any combination of the yuboys/bracelet girls is funny to me, selfcest is not just a suggestion but a necessity as well as a competition and THEY ARE WINNING

Favourite card they use: This one might be a hot take but out of the three archetypes Yuya blends in the Performapals, Odd-Eyes, and Pendulum Magicians, my favorite bar none and my fully fav archetype in all of yugioh is the Magician Pendulums. Yuya's own arc in the show is about differentiating himself from his father, and I think the Magician Pendulums stick out to me so much in this regard because they're HIS archetype: Performapals are from Yusho and the Dragons are from Zarc, but the Magician Pendulums are from Yuya!!!

I think Enlightenment Paladin and Nirvana High Palandin are my fav cards he ever uses, but Arc-V does this genius thing with action duels where it just wildly humanizes the monsters, so they all have tidbits of personality throughout the show and I love all of them.

Also obligatory shout out to Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon I love the big chicken and no one loves Yuya the way Odd-Eyes loves Yuya

Favourite moment they were in: Man. People thinking that Yuya just shouts Egao and fixes everything and that he never examines this when we have the Barret duel within ep91-92 where hes having a panic attack between saving Yuzu and just. discarding Smile World because he's so desperate to cling to his dad while also desperate to save Yuzu he is at one of his lowest lows here its just SUCH a good character moment that shows how much Yuya suffers from all the responsibility on his shoulders, self-imposed and otherwise

Least favourite moment: My live reaction- "Man, the Zarc duel was so fucking good!!! Literally peak yugioh, the best duel of all time! Alright so I bet we've got 1-2 more episodes to finish things off we've hit the series climax no way they can ruin this- Why are there 8 more episodes?"

Would I fuck, marry or kill them: im sorry yuya but move over im going to humiliate your older dragon god alter ego and shape the mattress like him

Hi, hey, hello, maayong buntag sA TANAN 🙌🙌

IM AWAKE (yes i know i slept for an hour sue me) AND WITH MANY THINGS I WISH I SHARED LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE STUDIES AND ITS ONLY ABOUT SHITARA.

I'll post another one about my thought process on the others' design elements I included mayhaps after part 2 is out (which i assure u is not as extensive as part 1, its a one per person package deal). Like their body hair or whatnot (yes, takiishi's lack of a happy trail was intentional).

(p.s. this is a vent for me but if u want to watch me simp haphazardly, then u're in the right place)

This was my reference for shitara and let me tell u this was more than i needed but my fingers kept screenshoting more and moreee.. .

Hes so silly and funny, and hes a dilf so hes already checks out more of my ideal type sksk. HIS SCRUFF, I LOVED DRAWING HIS SCRUFF AND HIS BODY HAIRR. I HAVENT POSTED ANY DRAWINGS PUBLICLY WITH BODY HAIR BUT FOR YOU SIR, ANYTHING FOR YOUU.

—

QnA Time:

"Whats up with the dad bod Brooke/Eve?"

Hear me out: I wanted him to have a beer belly and then I went oKAY maybe lets give him MORE chonk aND I DID AND HES LITERALLY EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED ICANT- *slams fist against the table*

"Was shitara the reason why-?"

Yes, yes. I got hit with the sudden urge to draw him topless and i decided to extend the graces to umemiya (thats his son in all but blood so ofc) and togame (no. 3 on my list). But ig four sounded better than 3 but i didnt know who to pick so i let y'all pick for me. Now takiishi's there, with messly drawn up left hand on the handstand sksk. The reference photo wasnt any better, who knew people could have such large fingers.

"Why did you make it a torso study instead of drawing him topless once like a normal person?"

Because im insane thats why and what is normal, dont know her. Also i thought it would be a good way to learn how the torso anatomy and how the muscles work u know? And i chose quite the variety to characters that canonically have different body types that i can play around. So now i know which muscles go where and how light plays with it skks.

"Is Shitara your no. 1?"

No, that belongs to Ales 🫶. The absolute rock they were the entire time i was sharing her wips. He's no. 2 tho, that's why my OTP (and OT3) for windbre is Ales/Me/Shitara. It was never gonna be anything else but SuoSakuNire is a close second. Highkey in love with both of them sksks.

—

Back to silly thoughts:

sirrr keep me warm in this cold ass weather bagyo seasonn~

Speaking of, u know i had to play "Big Boys" by SZA on that SNL show or whatever AND "big boys x streets" mashup because the wayyy i feltt a lot of thingsss in my heart when that song was on. Very yummy. OH YEAH AND "CANDY" BY DOJA CAT AND "AUSSIE AUSSIE O SIGE" BY ANDREW E!!

I will patiently await the day we see current timeline Shitara looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever. I WILL PATIENTLY AWAIT THE DAY HE GETS A SEIYUU. I HAVE A LIST ON POTENTIAL VA OPTIONS SKSK.

anyways, i think thats all. kissing his scruffy chin in my head before i skiddadle to uni 🏃🏃

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

And one more thing about "what literally every character in the show will gain if zvtara becomes engame". About Momo. Who will get tasty berries (not even Fire Nation berries btw, they mean the ones Tom-Tom had in his room in Omashu and the last time I checked Omashu was in the Earth Kingdom).

Even if this should be a joke there's nothing funny.

This made me really mad.

Momo won't get anything from zvtara unless he moves with Katara to the Fire nation. You know, constantly.

Momo is AANG'S friend. Momo is an AIR NOMAD lemur. Those zvtarians took aways Aang's future, love, happiness, family, children and now they want to take away his friend? The one who was with him until the battle with Ozai? Who's next, Appa, – so he would... *check* "gain more snuggles with Zuko"? Really? How much can they hate Aang? What has he done to them in the world of their precious zvtara?

Momo will stay with Aang, no matter whom Katara loves!

It's just... something I could not imagine even in a nightmare.

Also "the lemur would be happier" is a shit argument to why a ship should be canon. He's an animal. Just give him food and cuddles and he'll be fine.

You know your ship has NOTHING going for it when you're unironically making posts about how your OTP has to be together because it'd be what a lemur that canonically can't even understand what the humans are saying would TOTALLY be happier if they got married.

And yeah, while Momo clearly was attached to Katara too, he's an AIR NOMAD lemur. He's Aang's. For fuck's sake, in the original drafts of the story, he was going to be the reincarnation of GYATSO. He's never leaving Aang's side, just like Appa.

Stuff like that is why I say it isn't even just about their OTP - plentu Zutarians are part of the annoying group of the fandom that REALLY doesn't like that Aang is the protagonist instead of Zuko, nor do they understand that THIS NARRATIVE CHOICE IS CLEARLY THE BETTER ONE AND BENEFITED EVERY CHARACTER, ZUKO VERY MUCH INCLUDED.

[despairforme]

SHIPPING INFO. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

HM!! Very difficult question to answer. I was fortunate enough to write Nnoitra / Grimmjow for several years on here with Lexie, so that ship is dear to me, but I don't see myself writing them together again because yeah, Lexie's Grimmjow was just the perfect fit for Nnoitra. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get in contact with Lexie for a few years now, but I'm still forever blessed to have written this ship with them.

So, I don't really have an OTP for Nnoitra. His most popular canon ships, Nnoitra / Nelliel and Nnoitra / Tesla are not OTPs for me, but I'm still open to writing them if our muses click.

I honestly prefer either crossover-ships, OCxCANON or rare-pairs. I want interesting dynamics that I haven't thought about or tried before.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

I'm open to anything, as long as it's in-character for Nnoitra. It's pretty difficult ( or should I say impossible? ) to have a healthy ship with Nnoitra, as he is a very toxic person, so writing toxic ships is my jam. I'm fine with writing non-con ( Nnoitra's canon, hello? ), abuse, manipulation and so on and so on. The only things I will not write are things that I consider OOC for Nnoitra, such as him being the submissive in the relationship, any type of feminization-plot. I also won't write prefect lovey-dovey ships because that's just not Nnoitra.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

No age gap limits, but Nnoitra is not interested in minors. I also won't write ship with mods who are under 20. I'm in my late 20s and considering the sort of dark material I write and how toxic Nnoitra can become in a relationship, I feel more comfortable if my writing partner is older than 20.

Are you selective when shipping?

YES. I'm very selective when shipping. Mostly because it takes Nnoitra a good while to form that sort of bond with someone. I also like for things to develop "naturally". I don't do pre-established romantic relationships. I want Nnoitra to fall in love on his own, without me pushing him along.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

I typically tag things as "suggestive //" right away if there is a sexual or graphic tone to the post. Nnoitra is a crude person so this can happen easily. I would only tag sex or foreplay as NSFW.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

At the moment, I have no active ships for Nnoitra ( he's sleeping with a couple of people though, win for him fjfjfjf ). I really miss writing ships for Nnoitra, so I'm writing a few crossover ship fanfics for him (Nnoitra/Atsushi and Nnoitra/Kōtarō), but this is just self-indulgent because I want to see him happy from time to time ahaha.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

No, you don't. It's absolutely cool to tell me if you want to try and explore a ship between our muses though! I'll be onboard for exploring, but please note that there is never a guarantee that Nnoitra will grow attached to your muse. We can set them up on a date ( Nnoitra is actively trying to find dates these days ), but again, there are no guarantees. If your muse has feelings for Nnoitra, feel free to tell me!

How often do you like to ship?

RARELY! Like man oh man, haven't had a ship on here for 200 years at this point. I would like to ship more, but at the same time it's Nnoitra who decides when he falls in love, and that is a slow process. I'm just hitching along for the ride.

Are you multiship?

No, I consider my blog selective few-ship. I also will only have one ship per verse. I'm looking for a few ship partners ( or just one, I'm up for being single ship ) who I can write deep and dedicated plots with.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I'm not ship obsessed by any means, since it's been many years since I've written a ship for Nnoitra. I AM currently searching for a ship for him, because I do miss writing that sort of thing, but if it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. All good.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Byakuya / Renji . Aizen / Shinji . Mayuri / Kisuke .

My three BLEACH OTPs! I do have other ships (rare-pairs mostly) that I enjoy, but these three are my favorite.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Tell me that you're interested in exploring this type of dynamic between our muses, and we can set them up on a date, or put them in a setting where they can get to know each other. Please note that there is no guarantee that Nnoitra will form an attachment.

[saynomorefic]

Hi June! If you're still up for it, 4, 5, 34, 35 and/or your choice for the otp asks?

Have a lovely day 💜

Hii W! Tysm for the ask <3 I kinda wrote a novel 😅

4. Their favorite show to watch together? 

Simon 100% watches anime. My knowledge of anime is next to nothing but I feel like he likes Deathnote, Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, etc. I think Wille prefers teen dramas (he got a taste for them from Felice/ the girls) and docuseries, because he's hungry to learn more about the world around him. I think together they probably watch whatever anime Simon is into and nature documentaries because they're both kinda big nerds?! Oh, and Avatar.

5. Who is the cheesier one of the two? 

Sorry but Wille. I feel like I see this pretty much confirmed everywhere, from canon to fic. That boy knows how lucky he is and takes every opportunity to show it.

34. How do they cheer one another up during sad times?

I agree with the consensus that it's physical (lol) however I'll try to say some new things. Wille seems to want to talk it out, and Simon has demonstrated that he shows care by listening, asking questions, and offering support. I imagine he learned these skills from living with Linda and Sara. Sometimes when Wille's sadness turns to big anger (like once a year) they'll go to the junkyard and smash a bunch of shit, then go make out. Yeah. 

Simon seems to go within when he's sad, so Wille tries really hard to stop him from spiraling and get him out of his head until he's ready to talk. He'll plan little excursions, like a walk in the park, or get Simon to dance with him in their living room, anything to show him that it's not all bad. Wille also tries to make him laugh. I envision a lot of tickling. He knows not to rush Simon, who will share when he feels safe and ready. 

35. What are their tastes in music? 

I've thought about this one quite extensively. 

So I think Simon inherited a bunch of Micke's taste, because we know Micke exposed him to music and took him to concerts as we see in canon. I imagine it's a good mix of 80's and 90's rock, things like Nirvana and maybe some Swedish bands (like Kent, thank you Wilma @nothingadoaboutnothing ;)) 

As for contemporary music, I feel like Simon likes indie rock, some of it more underground, some more standard like the Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, etc. I see him listening to Lizzy McAlpine and Sufjan to cry and get his feelings out. I also feel like he likes Lady Gaga, perhaps a mix of her vocals and aesthetic. 

Wille likes rap and EDM as we saw in YR. However, much like the TV show thing, I think Felice and company have definitely awakened some love for queer pop / hyperpop in him. I see a burgeoning Charli / Chappel fan. Maybe this is just wishful thinking but I see it. Simon 100% makes fun of him (but definitely doesn't complain when he puts it on). 

Bonus / free question: 

39. Do they get along with each other's family? 

I want to say I'm hopeful on this one. Simon seemed to do fine with Kristina and Ludvig, although I'm sure there's going to be plenty more awkwardness and discomfort now that Wille has stepped down. Overall I think they're pleasant towards each other with occasional moments of connection. 

I think Wille is very invested in getting to know Sara, Linda, and possibly Micke. Post S3, I think he starts to form a closer bond with Sara; I'd like to think she becomes like another sibling now that he doesn't have Erik anymore. Wille tries hard with Linda in the beginning, and eventually realizes that all she wants is for him to treat Simon well and be happy, which for him is easier than ever. Perhaps Wille is the bridge towards a better relationship with Micke - he understands shitty family dynamics and is neutral where everyone else is scarred, so maybe he can help them be in each other's lives again in small ways. Like I said, wishful thinking.

I think Simon actually pushes for Wille to spend time with Wille's parents more, because Wille definitely prefers holidays at the Erikssons. S3 made me feel very hopeful about both fronts.

Let’s get some fun recommendations goin around here! What’s a piece of clone content (art, fic, etc) that has stuck with you as being notably excellent? Tag it in your answer so we can all find some new fun to read! If you want, of course; feel free to ignore! 💕

Oooh, this is fun! Yes ♥ I'm an absolute whore for art ♥

Starting off with a beautiful take on my favorite shit boy from the 104th, my babylove, Warthog by @omaano. I know there's no need for an explanation but I'm just so overly proud and touched because this was a tribute to a fallen comrade who happens to be Warthog's bestiecakes, Tracer.

Read more here ♥ And yes, Warthog is my favorite ♥ I will pick him again and again and again and again and again over Commander Wolffe ♥

Second would be Big Boy Wrecker ♥ As much as I am crazy for soft Wrecker with pink beach shorts with Omega, it's the Mischief Energy for me ♥ Love me some unhinged, chaotic, bulldozer baby girl of a man ♥ Also, everything @amorfista is a fave ♥

[WIP] "Shenanigans at the beach"

Another Wrecker by @lornaka because omg, he has truly captivated my heart ♥

Miss these kids sm

Darth Fett by @eyecandyeoz ♥ Candy outdid themselves here and I cannot emphasize that enough because (1) that fic is absolutely filthy, (2) it's a fic and art for one of my hidden/small otps, and (3) that art is as absolutely filthy as the fic.

Vader × Fett😈

This beautiful Crosshair happening that blesses my dash from time to time made by @ditztitz because goddamn, look at those unf-things and them unf-lines.

Very Toned Crosshair

This beautiful Crosshair happening that blesses my dash from time to time made by @ditztitz because goddamn, look at those unf-things and them unf-lines.

House of Fett | Family Picture

House of Fett, of course by @baufraus who I am obsessed with in terms of their art style and sticker vibe.

Thicc Fox & Thicc Wolffe ♥

@patchmates thicc twin love because jfc, Wolffe and Fox being hella fine is such a vibe. I've reblogged this so many damn times, I'm still giddy over it ♥

Bly in booty shorts

Need no explanation than the fact that someone better steal his blacks from time to time for the good of the galaxy. Delicious art by @thatfunkyopossum

Croissants being actual croissants ♥

Anything Fox and Corrie boys related by @amikoroyaiart because they so precious and so much foolishness happening ♥

That one Commander Fox Art that serves so much cunt I feel insecure as a cunt-bearing organism ♥.

This to me is s.ex on the eyes. It's the judgmental tilt of the head, that eyebrow raise, that look of disapproval that can also be seen as 'yeah, I'd hit that... but after work cause I got so much fucking work' — it's the bad boy ciggue for me, that puff of smoke in the background, that turtleneck blacks, that thiccness, that scar, that jfc-i would like to get railed by this man on his desk while he works vibe. ;//////;

Amazing art by @calamity-aims

Need something on your wall? Check them out ♥

Two from @idontgetanysleep that I would love to see on a wall:

Black and white Info Panel feature Wolffe, Rex, Cody, and Gregor ♥♥♥

Vibrant & Groovy Wallpapers featuring Wolffe, Rex, Cody, Howzer, Gregor ♥♥♥

..••°°°°••..°°••....••°°..••°°°°••..°°••....••°

And lastly, every single fucking panel in this post resonates to me in an astronomical level that I feel more closer to being Fox than being in love with Fox. This is essentially Fox and Me in photos as one. And I'm so pleased that @that-one-egomaniac gave me permission to use this bit because I am obsessed with this that I will post the photo itself — behold, my most favorite thing in the entire galaxy:

Thank you for this very interesting ask ♥

Note: I also don't know why some of the links didn't work as I was getting an error when posting so the rest came out as hyperlinks.

[coping-via-clint-eastwood]

*siiiiiigh* Soooooo, first of all, I would like to apologise to @jencsi for taking so long to answer the ask. But then of course when I want to answer it, Tumblr has it made it disappear. So anyway I'm posting as a post. This is for the character asks thing. Jen asked all questions for Gil Grissom.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

EVERYTHING???????

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

HOW DO I PICK WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY ANSWERS????????

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

HOW DO I PICK WHEN THERE ARE NO ANSWERS????????

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Sherlock Holmes 🤷🏻‍♀️

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

I know that I'm the resident Linkin Park fan, and I'm all over 9x05, but, LOATR is just about one particular aspect of his life.  It doesn't encapsulate the full depth of him.  And, honestly, that's what I really hope that I captured in my video.  It's basically a marriage proposition to him at this point.  I hope I did the song and him justice.

(I am using Leave Out All the Rest this year though (:  )

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Autistic.  Hearing impaired.  Misanthropic humanist.  I love bugs because of him.  I'm learning to sign because of him.  I got into CSI because I love bioscience.  Ghost/social outcast until we find the right people.  Struggle with emotions and relationships, and ultimately learning to choose love over fear (which is, one again, something I learned from him. If he can do it, so can I. The fact that my role model is a fictional being). Bullied because of being nerdy.  Bullied because of "weirdness" aka autism.  We're uncomfortable around people but care very deeply about them, especially if they're our loved ones.  Honestly a lot of it is the autism and everything that comes with it.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Lemme just say, boy am I glad I am on the we want to fuck that old man website.  Because, at first, I was embarrassed and self-conscious that I was in love with someone much older than me (hence why I love GSR; it gives me so much more confidence), but then as I got into the tumblr fandom I saw that I'm not alone.  So thank you everyone.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

When people hate him overall for the way he treated Sara well in the early seasons.  Like, hello *gestures to his whole development arc*  you see this?  Or were we not watching the same show?

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Oh my god it's gonna be so fucking quiet.  For once in our lives we'll have someone who'll actually respect our sensitivity/stimulation needs and not belittle us.

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

We're two of a kind.

11. Would you date this character?

I WANNA MARRY HIM!!!!!!!!!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

His father's name is Arthur, since that's his middle name, and it's not uncommon for catholics to make their first name the middle name of their child.  And irl Billy's dad is named Arthur Edward Petersen, and his brother is Arthur Petersen Jr.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

🐛🐜🐞🦗🪲🕷️

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

GSR

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Someone jokingly tagged a post with [#otp: i have bugs in my office] and while I'm glad it's not an actual ship...yeah I'm glad it's not.  It gave me fucking whiplash.

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

Grillows.  I'm actually multiship.  I ship GSR, Grillows and Kessom.  I've even been okay roleplaying Grissom/Nick with someone in the past, and I'm also okay with Warrick and Greg being shipped with him.  Hell I even find him being dopey with Teri Miller cute XD

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Catherine.  #brotp: it will play our song forever

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

I wanna say Ecklie but that's like, everything about him

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

If not Cath then Heather XD

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I love loving him.  I write my stories with him with so much love and care.  And I'm proud that my audience say it's obvious how much I love him.

I don't like him being hurt so I never write it.  Like, I'll just say it:  I'm glad it was Nick who got caught in Grave Danger and not Gil.  If it had been him I...I don't know what I would've done.  Even though I'd have known  that he was gonna be fine in the end, during the process I'd break down, no matter how many times I've watched it.  The thought of him being hurt just...I can't say it.  Sorry Nick, I love you too but Gil...Gil is the most special to me.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

I love when people write about his disabilities.  His hearing impairment, how he signs, his experience speaking both English and ASL.  His social and emotional struggles because of his autism.

My dislike would be when people write him as allosexual...  💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

23. Favorite picture of this character?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Sherlock Holmes

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

First impression:  wow he's so cool and smart and good at science.  I wanna learn from him.

Now:  Will you marry me?

26.  Freebie question.

Extra headcanon:  along with riding a rollercoaster with someone every 9 years and 34 days because that's how old he was when his dad passed, his favourite is the Mosaic because his parents took him on it for his 9th birthday.  Then a month later Arthur kicked the bucket, so Gil likes the memory of his father.

For the questions 1, 2, 5, 18 😊

1. Show your most recent wip Spoilers! It's not really that recent, but this snippet I can show) It's from a fan comic I've finally finished sketching out lately.

2. 5 favourites of your own work? Here are some of the fav's. I still have a soft spot for the whole DBH fandow, so, I wen't through my folder with fanart with it, and just had to add some sketches from there. YB fandom is a big thing for me right now, so I have a lot of favourite drawings I did for it too… But, yeah. I post too much of it }XD So, here are some of my characters instead. 2nd picture - it was like, an OTP challenge, for a month… I think. I like how this one with Madd and Pax turned out. 3rd is also from a challenge about characters, which I did - I've picked Clark for that challenge, so here's him in the middle of the picture and Alice and Ben. 4th picture was a character idea that I've barely drew\used. He's a dude from a dream I had… And the last 5th one is I think is also from a character challenge. This one was about Lars (on the right), and here he's with Marcus in the catacombs…

5. Anything you haven’t drawn yet but want to? Hmmm... There's a lot of stuff I haven't drawn yet... I can't quite tell. But there's like a couple of pictures I want to make, with pastels and acrylic paint. I wanted to paint lighthouses. Or like, forests.

18. Do you have any larger projects you’d like to pursue? Like comics, shortfilm, a series etc? Ooooh, there's so many comics I want to make... I don't think I will be able to, but I'll sure as heck will try }XD I wanted to try animation, but - tbh it's not for me. I'll get insanely bored drawing same frames over and over, changing just the littlest of things... I don't have enough patience for that, unfortunately.

[raikkonenvettels]

Simi:

1. Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ?

2. What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

30. Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing?

51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?

Charlos:

51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?

57. Who's the serious one when grocery shopping and who likes to toss random things in the cart?

58. Who’s more likely to hold a grudge after an argument?

60. Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?

V THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE THEY ARE ALL AMAZING (and also don’t worry you can send as many questions as you want, i love answering you asks 🖤)

so let’s get into it!!!

Simi:

Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because i love you!’ ?

that is a great question, and I think it could be either of them? Ok listen, Seb is 100% the type to say this bc I think he would actually do some stupid and impulsive things for love, but also Kimi would do anything for Seb (and Seb alone) too. Still, I am learning more towards Seb for this honestly!

What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

Kimi: he is the more calm and collected one, so I think first of all he would try to calm Seb down and remain calm so he doesn’t affect Seb’s state more. When Seb calmed down a bit, he would maybe ask if he wants to talk about it and after he would just hug him and put Seb’s head on his chest so his heartbeat and presence can lull him to sleep again

Seb: as we all know, Seb is the more tactile person, I think he would try to like hug Kimi to try to calm him down, maybe running his hands through Kimi’s hair and on his back rhythmically so he can distract him. After he would maybe leave Kimi alone for a bit (bc he knows Kimi needs to process alone for a while in situations like this) and he would make him tea/hot chocolate and they would sit in comfortable silence (Seb knows Kimi doesn’t like to talk, so he never asks and he waits to see if Kimi tells him first, if he doesn’t he just stays silent). Then when they finish, he would just hold Kimi through the night and maybe stays vigilant so see if Kimi wakes up again.

Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing?

Honestly if they did this they would just end up looking exactly the same! Everyone knows about the (horrible, I might add) checkered shorts, right? yeah that would be the vibe lol. So yeah they both have a pretty simple and similar style, so that’s why!

(I think if they could choose anything tho, Kimi would 100% want to know how Seb looks in crop top. And Seb? He would dress Kimi in a suit, specifically a Ferrari suit, just relive the good times and bc he loves seeing Kimi in a suit bc he looks sexy af)

What's a non verbal way they say I love you?

Kimi: this man’s love language is 100% acts of service and quality time, so I think that him listening to Seb as he rants and rambles his ears off is the best way to convey that he loves him. Also, when Seb asks him do literally something he WILL do it, no questions asked (bc he would honestly do ANYTHING if it means Seb is smiling that one particular smile of his that is reserved for Kimi only and that makes him melt inside all the time). Still, if anyone asks, he will say that no, he is not a romantic how would assume such a thing? He is the Iceman, not a lovesick puppy (he is btw, he is just very embarrassed to admit it to anyone who isn’t Seb)

Seb: CUDDLES. ALL THE CUDDLES!!! but also, one particular way he says he loves Kimi is that, since he always wakes up before him, he learned how to cook breakfast so Kimi can always have anything he wants when he wakes up! The first time this happened might have not been a great attempt maybe, but it made Kimi cry nonetheless bc no one had ever cared about him as much as Seb does

Charlos:

Who is more sexually experimental? Who's more vanilla?

Charles is deffo the more experimental, and only bc Carlos has that religious guilt™️ that prevented him from even trying to think about something that wasn’t missionary sex. Charles ofc, rocks his whole word in this sense, making him try things that he would’ve never thought even existed before, but he loves it a lot bc it makes him feel free in a way only being with Charles surfaces in him.

What's a non verbal way they say I love you?

Carlos: he is the physical touch person 100%, and he cuddles Charles at ANY given opportunity, and especially after bad races. He is always there, he is like a constant in Charles’ life that he never really had before, and that is the most important thing for Charles after all the loss he’s been through.

Charles: I think he would design cute little dates all around the world on race weekends so he and Carlos can not only spend more time together, but Carlos can feel more loved and appreciated ad taken care of (bc Charles knows Carlos can struggle with being taken care of and also with insecurity so Charles will try to make him feel more secure) and they can decompress after a race (esp if it was a bad one) and maybe talk calmly if needed!

Who's the serious one when grocery shopping and who likes to toss random things in the cart?

This one is pretty obvious honestly, we all know Charles is terrible at anything that has to do with cooking. I would imagine that the first time they went shopping together Charles wanted to impress Carlos with his “amazing” culinary skills, only to mess everything up by randomly putting stuff in the cart. Carlos would see this and be amused at first, but when he sees that Charles is actually going to buy all that stuff he’s like “nope nope you are banned from putting anything in the cart ever again. Leave it to me” and that is actually what happens. Carlos does the work and Charles is there being the pretty husband and moral support!

Who’s more likely to hold a grudge after an argument?

CHARLES. 100% CHARLES. That man is petty af and even if he loves Carlos a lot that’s just how he is. At some point he does let it go, but it takes a long time lol

Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?

CARLOS DEFINITELY CARLOS. His self esteem issues tell him that Charles will leave him at some point so he just learned to unconsciously tighten his grip on Charles at all time and esp in the night bc that’s the perfect time to escape, and it’s when Carlos is at his most vulnerable. Charles, blissfully unaware, likes that Carlos does it a lot bc he loves being close to him, but he doesn’t know the real meaning behind that gesture

[sinningtamer]

Not sure if you’ve answered this before but what are your favourite fics and ships?

Love all your art btw! <3 Thx for all the food!

i might've years ago, so let's go again! i'm gonna answer this question as only NSFW/kink related, otherwise the list would be way too long haha

alright let's start with the obvious: ParviII is and always will be my #1 one ship, even when I dip in and out of the fandom a lot (i feel the term OTP is super outdated these days? but if there was one ship i could use it with it's them...)

so obviously i'm gonna say Talking Body and Payment and Payback by @sparxwrites. because. you know. how can i not. oh yeah, Good Vibrations is also a classic. hiii sparx, i'm sorry for picking your older fics, i just have such a bias. they've written a ton of great stuff over the years though, so go give the account a peak! there's something for everyone, especially if you like darker stuff.

...speaking of accounts with a lot of content who lurk around here, shoutout to @pawpunkao3. lmpᴇarI is one of my favorite ships, and they're still such a rarepair somehow?? anyways I think about Between Bedrock and a Hard Place at least once a week tbh. A New Religion That'll Bring You To Your Knees is fantastic, and i have a soft spot for I Spy (even tho i didn't watch too much empires). again, another author with a whole arsenal under their belt, so don't just take my word for it and check the rest of his fics!

back to lmpᴇarI being a rarepair... @thatstoomuchsoup has Chicken Soup for the Soulbounds (okay it's more pearI-centric but they're both there) and is another blog that specializes in some of my kinks and these fandoms. same with @anon-teddy's content, gotta give a shoutout to full. this is also making me realize i haven't sought out enough poly S0up Group or GᴇmpuIse/PᴇarIgem fics...maybe i'll get back to you on that...

there's a bunch of good explicit trᴇᴇbark fics, but i said i was gonna keep this list concise, so the only one i'll specifically point to is how to deal with your supernatural lust for blood (and other things) in a completely normal and god-honoring fashion. for...reasons. also because it's good!

edit: oh my GOD i realized two seconds after posting this i completely forget to mention @also-an-art. go read (this is) hungry work and honey don't feed it right fucking now. i've read both of these in full (pun intended) multiple times they're that amazing. it's rare that the plot is just as good as the horniness, when i tell you i lost my mind at some of the development in these. also hot and dirty (like the la air) is a guilty pleasure. AND it introduced me to a song that ended up being #20 on my spotify wrapped LOL (RPF warning on that one! trust me tho)

let's get to my other bias, shall we? RᴛSpiff and RᴛS00t don't....have any explicit fics. nor does poly lᴀds. CMRᴛ does, though! I'm kinda picky about how people characterize them, but play it cool and Every Stumble and Each Misfire are lovely (note that the second one is also blatant RPF! don't say i didn't warn you o7)

speaking of lᴀds, if you follow me on main, you know i got into Bᴀnᴀna Bᴜs Sqᴜᴀd just last year (I'M SORRY, OKAY, DON'T @ ME-) you'd think getting into an old fandom late would mean a ton of great smut fics, right? to be honest, i haven't found many that i care for, but maybe i'm just picky... however, i remember your lips, they're the ones i miss, and smoke in your lungs, your lips on mine are SO GODDAMN GOOD i'm not even mad it's only those two i like because i could reread them 20 times. god. such fun characterization. shame the author orphaned them because i badly wanna read more of their stuff.

this is the part where you go, spirit, do you read anything besides (mᴄ)yt fandoms??? and i go, not really.............well, sort of. i like 0verwatch! and M0icy!! Reciprocity is a delightful PWP long fic. i'm also not really an omegaverse guy, but Water Me has such a good take on it i fell in looove.

okay, i'm gonna cut myself off here, enough though i could probably name dozens of more fics if i sat and thought about it. if anyone i tagged wants to be untagged, feel free to reply here or shoot me an ask/dm!!

Fanfiction Author Interview Game

Thank you for the tag, @missiemoosie, this was such a fun way to reflect on my work!!

How many works do you have on AO3?

284

What's your total AO3 word count?

395,574

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

 thank you for the food - ATLA | rated T | 2,378 words | Zuko/Sokka

Simple Happiness - ATLA | rated M | 3,126 words | Zuko/Sokka

Bucky has a belly kink, but Steve doesn’t mind in the least - Captain America, MCU | rated E | 1,739 words | Steve/Bucky

Surprise - Captain America, MCU | rated M | 2,597 words | Steve/Bucky

New Colors - One Piece | rated G | 1,881 words | Zoro/Sanji

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always! If I don’t respond the moment I get the email notification, I usually get to it the next time I’m on AO3 to upload a new fic... I do make it a point to reply after I’ve hit post though, because it’s like a reward to get to respond. Sometimes with the really sweet and/or lengthy comments that make me smile or feel really proud of what I’ve written, I’ll literally hold off on replying so I can experience the high again, right after I’ve posted a new fic. 

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Probably overboard -- I wrote it based on my first impression of the ending of the LOTR trilogy, where I took Frodo’s leaving for Valinor as a metaphor for suicide. 

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

I don’t know that I can pick a single fic for this. I generally write happy endings, because that’s what I like to read, so there’s just too many to choose from. 

Do you write crossovers?

Hell yeah, I do! Crackfic crossovers are my favorite kind of self-indulgent fic to write. I’ve also written crossovers in the sense that I take blorbos from one series and put them in the setting or roles from another series, but then I wonder if that isn’t just an AU... 

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I don’t think so...?

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I definitely write more smut than I post, that’s for sure. I think it’s generally all omegaverse, praise kink, breeding/pregnancy kink, light d/s... that sort of thing :) 

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope! At least, not that I’m aware of, haha

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, New Colors was given a Chinese translation! 

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I’ve co-written with my friend that I’ve affectionately dubbed beta-san ever since we got into writing fic back in high school. Few fics have been finished and cleaned up enough to be posted though. 

What's your all-time favorite ship?

I think I’ll forever consider ZoSan (Zoro/Sanji) to be my OTP... I haven’t read or written anything about them in a long time, but they’ll always hold a special place in my heart for being my gateway to online fandom and shipping communities. 

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

Bit of a deep cut for this one, but I’d have to say Zoro’s Promise. I started it so long ago that it’s still only on FF dot net. I do think about it often though, I won’t lie. 

What are your writing strengths?

I’m easily inspired, I use the intensity of my emotions as fuel, I find myself often wanting to write, I make time to write whenever I can -- on the commute to and from work, in bed, on a walk, etc. 

What are your writing weaknesses?

My brain only wants to write certain scenes of a fic, and has no interest in filling the gaps. I have a tendency to tell instead of show. I use too many commas. I don’t write consistently enough to make it a habit. I focus on the numbers social media has trained me to perceive as validation, instead of just being able to feel satisfaction from writing what I want to. And perhaps worst of all, I still care so much of what other people think of me, of my writing -- so much so that I overthink and overanalyze my words as I’m writing, forcing my brain to edit while I write, which is entirely counterproductive and also not what I’m here to do. 

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

As someone who speaks a language that too many people have Google Translated and then slapped into their fic for the vibes... hard pass. 

I don’t think I’ve ever written full lines of dialogue in another language. The worst I’ve done would probably be using nicknames, pet names, or endearments from canon, but honestly looking back, even that feels like I was pushing it. Unless it’s a fantasy language like Sindarin or Khuzdul or whatever else, I really feel like there’s no reason to be doing it. 

As a reader, it’s distracting at best when I can’t read it, because it takes me out of the moment and forces me to scroll down to the author’s notes to understand what it says -- or even just Google Translate it myself -- and at worst, I can read it, and it gives me a painful amount of secondhand embarrassment from how awkward and wrong it is. 

Just put the sentence in italics, imply that it was spoken in another language, and be done with it. 

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

My writing is at the mercy of my hyperfixations, so I don’t think I’ve not written for a fandom or ship that I wanted to yet... 

What's your favorite fic you've written?

I honestly don’t think I have a favorite. I’ve written so many fics at this point, and across so many fandoms, that I simply cannot choose one over the rest. 

Tagging: @lauralot89 @perplexedhedgehog @wheel-of-fish @backlitmademoiselle @flora-gray @from-aldebaran @intothemertensverse @textsfromthefifthbasement and anyone else that wants to use this as an opportunity to do some reflecting on your works!!

[livingincolorsagain]

hello darling 💖 hope you're having a wonderful one. 4, 11, 23, 25 for the fandom ask game please (you have to answer. it's not my fault you reblogged it while i was asleep 😔)

hey baby 💖 (yeah, it’s definitely my fault, will time my ask games better next time)

say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

well, obviously gonna go with buddie here. im such a sucker for friends to lovers, so im already halfway into them. like i haven’t even seen much and i can tell they’re soulmates. they know each other and understand each other and see each other and yeah. i very much see the appeal

if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

Rough Surfaces. my magnum opus.

the fandom you're curious about because of a mutual

again, 911. soooo many of my mutuals, you included, are watching and im all 👀 while having the tags filtered so if i did watch one day the whole show isn’t completely spoiled lol

a piece of advice for taking care of yourself in fandom spaces

oh boy. idk how good this is for an advice, but it works for me, so im gonna share it. don’t be afraid to block and unfollow people. fandom is supposed to be fun, but it’s also full of people, and well, where there are people 🤷‍♀️. so yeah, see a bad take? block, and maybe make a vague post it. i know sometimes the take is too bad to just go on without saying anything. someone’s posts are annoying or making you feel weird? unfollow. it’s not personal, no one really cares. filter tags. there are so many ways to make fandom space better for yourself, use them. oh, and engage with people in your fandom. it’s way more fun if you’re not just sitting alone in a corner, i promise.

✨ love your fandom asks ✨ 

[danpuff-ao3]

Liv...@sitp-recs...what a lovely human! QUEEN of Fic Recs. Like, holy hell. How does she do it?? This lady can make a rec list at the drop of a hat, I stg.

So many themes! So many asks answered! Lots of Drarry, but not just Drarry! Rare pairs galore, too! Not to mention all the fandom love! She is so incredibly supportive, generous, and kind. Liv is such a blessing to fandom. Not only for the incredible (and frankly insane (but like in a good way)) rec lists, but for her very precious presence. Thanks for being such a great person, Liv. And thanks for being here! (Also: thanks for letting me pester you!)

Dark!Harry/Draco

Had to include this, which I stumbled upon while looking for another rec list. One: isn't Dark!Harry such fun? Two, lots of familiar author names! And a few fics I've read, even, though I don't read much Drarry! So we're starting this one off with the list I decided to include on a whim LOL!

Dralbus

My oh my! I can never resist Albus Severus/Draco. And what a list this is! I can second like...all of these, basically. With a special OH HECK YEAH for Make Your Own Bed and The Mark of a Good Man!!!!

Dron

AHHH DRACO/RON I LOVE THEM OH GOD. I am so obsessed. It's one of my favorite Draco ships for sure. And probably my favorite ship where both parties are the same age hahaha. If anything could sway me away from my love of age gaps, it's this bratty blond and riled-up redhead! And gosh, this list has so much good stuff on it!!!!! Seriously, all of them. Also my fic Collateral Damage is on here which ???? I cry.

I swear I'm not reccing this list for selfish reasons, though. Plumage??? Excellent. A Rush of Blood to the Head?? Oh god HOT. A Fine Foray Into Fashionable Fellatio???? God, this lady has taste. TASTE, I tell you.

Oh. oh.

This one is a fun story for me. Drarry is a ship I struggle with. Much to my dismay! The Drarry fandom has such talent!! I'm in awe. Yet, I never could get my head around it. Partly due to my mostly monogamous feelings for my OTP, Snarry. Partly, it just never spoke to me. No matter how well-written a story, no matter how gorgeous an art, I never felt it.

Until Still Life. On this list! The title was familiar. Folks had mentioned the author not long ago and how they'd orphaned their works. And me being curious, I went digging, even though I didn't read any of them. Then Liv's list popped up and I suppose it felt like fate. It was the second time I'd seen that fic's title in a short period, and it was a short piece. And wow oh wow! I had to run to blather in Liv's DMs about it, but that was the first time I really felt Drarry. What a lovely piece!

Also what a fun idea for a rec list, so definitely check it out!

Scarry

So remember how I'm mostly monogamous to Snarry? I like to tell people that Snarry is my husband and Scarry is the hot poolboy. Lord, I have seen temptation, and its name is Scarry. Harry and SCORPIUS???? I need more of it in my life, for real. More to read, more to write, just MORE. The Claiming?? Oh wow. Getting Hard?? HECK. YES. A Temporary Reprieve???? ....Sorry, that was the sound of me hitting hitting the ground. Please read all of these, and then thank Liv for doing the Lord's work.

for an explanation about Mutuals March, or to figure out why i wrote you a thing, please check out this post.
