2:59 am - Isagi Yoichi

kind of a part two to this, but can be read as a standalone!

Horror movies are cool.

The plots were fascinating, the acting and CGI were equally captivating. The problem was that they were scary.

It's obvious that they would be, that's the whole point; to evoke thrill and to trigger chemical reactions to simulate what it'd be like to be in danger. But Yoichi can't handle that well. Barely.

He loved all movies nights with you regardless of the genre, wrapped up together with a thick blanket, hours spent staring at the laptop with intrigue. Horror movies were no different since he was with you.

Even if it's a situation that physically cannot happen, like ghost stories or tales of the supernatural, for some reason he now suddenly believes that they exist.

Yoichi knows better than anyone else that he's always been a crybaby, bursting out into tears at the mere change in weather, or whenever his dad changed the channel to anything that wasn't soccer. He even started crying when he was watching his friend play Minecraft, and an Enderman teleported out of nowhere while screeching. Roblox horror games terrified him as a child, and his parents couldn't 'boo!' him because it'd always result in inconsolable bawling. It was obvious that jump scares was never his cup of tea.

But to be this affected, was almost embarrassing.

The clock's about to strike 3 am, the time that's dubbed as devil's hour. Yoichi doesn't even know why it's labelled as that, yet he's still paranoid something will happen, in the middle of your hallway.

There's a light on, for the sake of your younger siblings to feel a bit safer. Yoichi can't believe he's taking comfort in something that was implemented for a literal child to overcome their fear of the dark.

Just don't look left and right, focus on wherever's got light.

If he was thirsty he always could've waited for morning to come, but using the bathroom was a completely different story.

It's not his fault the premise of so many horror movies involved a dark corridor, and a grotesque entity emerging out of nowhere from the shadows. It's a miracle how you're able to sleep peacefully after a whole night of watching horror movie after horror movie.

Yoichi takes a deep breath, quickly striding from the restroom to yours. With a sigh of relief he gently closes the door, ready to join you to sleep again.

"Yocchan?" A groggy voice calls out to him.

He shrieks, loudly, it's so out of character considering his level headed and confident demeanor on field.

An awkward silence fills the room, as he realizes, it was just you.

God please kill me now, is the first thing that comes to mind.

You owlishly blink, still dazed from just awaking from your slumber. "Calm down, you'll wake up my siblings." You groan and yawn. "Did something happen?"

"No, you just surprised me there. Thought you were sleeping." Good, now please pass out so he'll never have to think of this moment again.

"Liar."

"It's true."

"You're a professional soccer player, you've been able to beat that German dude who's the best striker in your age group, and you're scared of me speaking?"

At this point he was praying you'd pass out right at this moment and forget about this by the time morning comes.

"I'm just madly in love with you to the point than anything you do makes me want to scream." It's an embarrassing truth, but far from a lie. "C'mon, you need to sleep, we stayed up really late."

You jokingly scoff. "Fine."

He slowly walks over to your bed, tightly wrapping his lean arms around you, hiding from his irrational frights. When you turn off the night light he's paranoid again, grip around you strengthening.

"Yocchan."

"Yes love?"

"You're clinging onto me, really tightly."

He gulps a bit, weakening his arms. "Sorry." He buries his face into your neck instead, still scared of his own thoughts. Only a few more hours til the sun rises and the day starts, he only has to endure this for a bit more, all he has to do is pass out and he'll be okay.

"You're trembling." You mumble as you're about to doze off. "Are you cold? I'll get you a hoodie and another blanket just in case-" You barely get up before Yoichi pulls you back into bed.

"No, tonight was just scary." No point in hiding it now. "Just stay. Please. I keep thinking that stupid doll from that one movie will appear."

"Idiot." You locked him into your embrace again. " You should've told me, I don't even like horror that much, I just didn't want to watch them alone." Your fingers reach towards his face to give his cheeks a firm yet gentle pinch.

"First you pretend you're good with chili at the noodle place now this?" His mouth almost burns at the mention and thought of the memory. Sure he couldn't handle it and was turning red, but they still tasted amazing and it was worth seeing you enjoy yours.

"Yes yes, I know I'm stupid. Stupidly in love with you." It's cheesy yet it still makes you grin. "I wanna sleep now. G'night. I love you."

He knows he shouldn't go overboard and do the things he doesn't synergise with well just because you like them. But anything's worth it if it's with you, he'll eventually recover from having too much chili and one day he'll be able to sit through a jump scare without his soul leaving his body.

"I love you too." You mumble in response, smile tugging at your lips and feeling the warmth of his proximity.

With the comfort of you and your words, and how the blanket engulfed you two, any intrusive thoughts remaining in Yoichi's mind dissipated that night; though your siblings still can't comprehend why and how that scream happened last night; and who did it.

Hello everyone!

My name is Alex, but people also call me Lex, Lexi, Lexus... Whatever at this point LMAO. I'm not new to tumblr, but I am new to posting on it. I don't really know how all of this works yet so bear with me!

Just to give you a heads-up, I'm really good at English, but it still isn't my first language, so if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes, don't mind it😭

So, I'm a writer, and my content is going to be character x reader 99% of the time. What I was thinking is that you guys send me requests for characters and scenarios you want me to write about (of course, as long as they are a character I know of) because my inspiration has been very lacking lately 💀. I will now give a list of all the characters I write for, as well as some rules for when you send asks.

By the way, if you want to remain anonymous, you can claim emoji's so that I know who you are!

I WILL WRITE:

Ace Attorney -> any character within the Phoenix Wright trilogy (Ace Attorney, Justice For All, Trials and Tribulations) 'cause those are the only games I've played so far

Sally Face -> Sal, Larry, Ash

Resident Evil -> Leon, Ada, Carlos, Ethan, Claire

Brooklyn 99 -> Jake, Amy, Rosa, Charles

Hunter x Hunter -> Kurapika

Minecraft Story Mode -> Jesse (male and female), Lukas, Petra

The Last of Us -> Ellie, Joel, Dina, Abby

Five Nights at Freddy's (movie) -> Mike, Vanessa, Steve Raglan/William Afton

Inside job -> Reagan, Brett

Arcane -> Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Mel, Victor, Sevika

Assassination Classroom –> Karma

Genshin Impact –> Albedo, Alhaitham, Arlecchino, Ayaka, Ayato, Childe, Clorinde, Cyno, Eula, Furina, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Itto, Jean, Kazuha, Keqing, Kokomi, Lyney, Mona, Navia, Neuvillette, Nilou, Raiden, Shenhe, Tighnari, Venti, Wanderer, Wriothesley, Xianyun, Yae Miko, Yelan, Yoimiya, Zhongli, Beidou, Bennett (nothing more than a kiss 'cause he's a minor), Candace, Charlotte, Fischl (nothing more than a kiss 'cause she's a minor), Gaming, Gorou, Heizou, Kaeya, Kuki Shinobu, Lisa, Lynette, Ningguang, Noelle, Rosaria, Kujou Sara, Sucrose, Thoma

mostly fem!reader and gn!reader –> female characters will be with fem!reader by default (gn!reader only if you request it), male characters are with gn!reader by default (fem!reader only if you request it)

I WILL NOT WRITE:

smut -> kissing yes, anything more than that no; I still feel awkward writing it, let alone uploading it LOL

male!reader (sorry :C)

non-con and dub-con -> I believe in consent

pregnancy trope

extreme age gap -> anything more than a 15 year age difference is a no

pedophilia

P.S. I'm a music major and it can get extremely busy sometimes so it's gonna take some time for me to write, but I don't think it should take any more than a week.

Minors can interact, since I'm not writing any smut!

That's gonna be all from me for today. I'll update this list if I get a new show/game I'm interested in, or if there's a change in the rules. I look forward to your requests, and I can't wait to start writing them! xx

[our-aroace-experience]

I'm aromatic and that's all I've ever told people I'm probably on the ace spectrum but I've never ever once TOLD a person I was ace. I've identified myself with aro and I'm comfortable in it and my identity but every and I mean EVERY person I've known and told about me being aro will tell others and when referencing me to myself says ace. I had a friend who had many labels and I thought they'd understand that I'm aro not ace cause they used they/them and neopronouns but EVERY AND I MEAN EVERY TIME XE INTRODUCED SOMEONE TO ME They'd say I'm ace.

"oh this is dense she's ace"

"I'm actually aromatic"

"same thing".

"I know your so done hearing me talk about dating people and having crush being ace and all"

"I'm aromatic not ace and it doesn't bug me"

"Okay~"

They said "okay" in a weird way and looking back I think they were trying to make me jealous that I can't love and then didn't believe me when I said I didn't care.

This next instance made me never talk about my identity around or with them ever again.

"happy birthday!!!!!"

"I'm finally legal let's GOOOO!"(I just turned AOC)

"don't make jokes about you having sex it make me uncomfortable cuz your ace"

"I'm not ace I'm aro and you know that and you make sex jokes at me all the time and make them with others I can make sex jokes if I want"

"well I don't like it and it's the same thing. you know your just a little baby in my mind which makes it weird hearing you say that and your my best friend so I don't want to think of you with others.

I ghost xem after but reading that almost make me puke. IM, ME AM NOT ALOUD TO MAKE SEX JOKES CUZ U SEE ME AS A BABY CUZ YOU THINK IM ACE AND SEX REPULSED, FUCK YOU.

Another thing is my family, we're a very open family having no problems with pronoun or name changes or being gay the only problem is my aunt married a conservative American

My younger cousin maybe 8 at that point made a gay dating joke after my aunt said something about boys maybe to impress me since I'm 8 years older then him and I told nah that's not me I'm aromatic which means I don't like boys or girls my aunt chimed in saying "we don't need to be talking about this with HIM, he doesn't need to now this "I told her "he is the one that brought it up so he obviously knows and just like how you talk about girls dating boys I could talk about me not dating anyone it makes no difference especially when he is making innuendos. Wait have you even had sex Ed?" "No" he replied, then my oh so fun chimed in saying "he's too young for sex ed it's good he hasn't had in it." "No I'm more surprised he hasn't had sex ed it's important he should have it." "No he's too young" "remember how I was sexually assaulted when I was six and I had no clue what happened to me until I had sex Ed and was told that it was bad and to tell my parent them told my mom and got help do you want him oblivious if it happened to him" "it's different." "How?" He stopped talking and went outside I asked my cousin is he wanted to play Minecraft he said yes so we did that but a few hours later to the bathroom my aunt grabbed me and asked if I was serious about was I said about boys and girls I told her "yes I'm aromatic and don't like boys or girls or anyone like the opposite of being bi." "Are you sure maybe you just haven't met the right person"(I was kinda floored by this she would've said that if I said I like girls) "yes I'm sure I'm seventeen and have never have a crush or ever wanted to be with someone" "but what if one day you fall in love" "and what if one day aliens take over the planet it's possible but I'm not going to bother myself thinking about it." "Well I just don't want you trapping yourself in this label stopping yourself from liking someone." "I never have and probably never will like someone but if magically one day I do I won't stop myself does that sound good to you?" "Yes".

I just love negotiating my identity to keep people happy I've had that exact talk maybe 11 times now and im so done with it, I'm known for my patience explaining sexuality stuff to my older family cause I know their just curious but please stop checking in to see if I've change my sexuality like a clown fish I'm so done.

This was mostly a long rant but I just wanted it out there and to leave it on a good note my mom loves me for who I am and makes fun of my family and people who just can't get it through their head that I'm not going to ever date someone I'm her star child with no drama ✨ which I always find funny.

Love to all that have a hard time with it I love you and your valuable and valid

i��m so sorry to hear about your friends and family, you mum sounds lovely!

[soephiphany]

Okay.

I can't be the only one who thinks about their bias (or any celebrity crush in general) every night before going to sleep. But I'm not talking about just thinking, I'm talking about full mind on a scenario you made, while feeling all the kind of feelings and trying to sleep at the same time.

This was my yesterday scenario/drabble?, with my beloved bias wrecker Jeongguk

Warning : fluff. Yes, if you're like me, this is something to be warned about. LOTS AND LOTS OF FLUFF. Jungkook long hair (i don't even need to explain this one)

_____

"You know, you could sleep here more" his deep and sleepy voice shakes you from your sleep and you turn your head up to him, putting your hands under your round chin. His warm fingers drawing patterns in your forearm, leaving goosebumps from his touch.

"I've been sleeping here for almost a week"

"You know what i mean" the confusion on your face shows your obvious thoughts "I'm not having sex with you now, Jungkook."

"Yah, I'm not talking about sex" he giggles and you drown your face in his clothed chest again, to hide your embarrassment. "But if you're up to ..."

"Nuh-uh. No way, I'm too tired for it" he reaches for your hair nodding along your words even tho you can't really see him.

"That's okay, my love. Sex is not the only way of loving you" he pecks the top of your head and you sigh lightly and put yourself on your elbow to stare at him.

"And what are the other ways?" Your eyes flicker with excitement and he swear he can see galaxies in your eyes. Little does he know what his incredible gaze feels like.

"Well.. I can hug you like I'm doing right now" a little smile is hanging on his face while the words come out of his beautiful rosy and pillowy lips "There's my words, which you already hear so much everyday" you stare at him a little to long and he starts to question stuff.

"You hear it everyday, right?" His light concerned voice was what it needed to take some giggles out of your mouth

"Yes,baby. Yes, i do" he sighs in relief and you stare at each other for a brief moment before laughing out loud, then he puts his hand on your mouth trying to make your laughter less noisy "It's late, babe" you nod to his words and take his big hand off your face, giggling a bit in the process.

"there's cuddling too, you know." His brow frowns as he thinks, and then a spark shines in his pretty doe eyes "And playing together in our pretty little farm on Minecraft" he could feel his heart warm and his body melt at the sight of your smile widening when he mentioned your farm. He knows you're very proud of it.

"There's the other thing you still didn't mention" your fingers travel through the big and long strays of his dark raven hair.

"Your boobs? Aish, sorry, i forgot." He throws his head back laughing silently when you hit his bicep whispering 'yah' with a blushed face, or as he likes to call, spicy Cheetos face. You just don't question him sometimes, it's better this way.

"I didn't forgot. Of course i didn't. I was leaving the best for the end, you know.."

"The grand finale" you both say at the same time and he gasps in jungshook, like that was the most incredible thing that has ever happened in his life -the 'marry me' moment with Namjoon flashbacks in your mind-. "That's why I love you" your cheeks grow warm again, like it's the first time you hear it. He says it everyday but that doesn't change the fact of how these three words affect you so much, and you feel the same, of course you do. How could you not? When he looks at you like you're the most beautiful thing in the world, or when he kisses you so passionately that you cry about it when you can't have his lips on yours, or when he smiles at you, with that toothy grin, so wide and pretty, just for you. You love this man with all your soul and heart, you would travel worlds and realities for him. Like Gomez and Morticia used to say - and you two like to quote - 'i would die for you, i would kill for you, cara mia.'

"Baby.. Why are you crying?" He sounds so worried cause he's thinking what could've triggered your tears, he wipes your wet cheeks with his thumb and kisses your forehead after giving you the cutest look with the cutest pout.

"It's just... It's you" you hide your face with your hands when you finally sit up in bed. His also sits, staring at you while trying to crack the code you just throw at him, while rubbing your back sweetly. 'It's you'? What's that supposed to mean? Are you breaking up with him? Do you not love him anymore? You're not happy with him? He knows he's thinking nonsense but it's scares the hell out of him to think that one of these could be true.

"I just.. I can't believe I'm so lucky" you manage to say with muffled voice between your sniffles. He body relaxes and his face softens at your words. Scooting closer to you, he puts your legs around his waist and you hide your face in the crook of his neck.

"God.. I love you so much, do you know that? I love you so fucking much" he mutters in your ear, traveling his long fingers in your hair, in a way it wouldn't mess it. "I'm the lucky one. Have you seen yourself? You're the most gorgeous, marvelous, incredibly amazing and beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on" when his words hit your ears, it only makes you cry harder, now clinging on his oversized shirt with all your strength. You look at him, just to see him smiling so sweetly at you with his eyes overflowing genuine love and also tears. He's so sensitive, you love him.

"I love you so much. You make me so happy. I'm so in love with you, my Jungkook" he mutters a 'fuck' and kiss your lips softly, like he's afraid of breaking you but he holds you so close,like he's afraid of letting you go, like you're some sort of dream to him. And you are, hell yeah, you are. You are his world, his everything and he's never letting you go.

After kissing for sometime, you pull away, just to stare at his eyes again before kissing him passionately. He melts into the kiss, just like cotton candy,he's so sweet, he tastes so sweet and good with a pitch of mint from his toothpaste - that's actually yours, since he forgot to buy more - that adds an extra pleasure to it. He's now devouring your lips, you can feel his brows frown from how much he's putting himself into this kiss. He just loves your kiss, your lips, how it fits perfectly with his. He loves when your tongue plays with his lip piercing, or how you whimper when he sucks and bites your bottom lip. He just loves everything about kissing you, he feels like he could do it forever. But your lungs says otherwise when you break the kiss, chest heaving,loud breaths, you both affect each other so much, and you love that.

He tucks your hair behind your ear and pecks your forehead gently, then he continues to kiss softly through your face, kissing every inch of skin. Your eyes, nose he loves so much, cheeks, every single spot in your beautiful face. "I love you, i love you, i love you" he says holding your face with his hands while staring deeply at your eyes, kissing you again, slowly, like you're savoring each others mouth. There's no hurry on it, it's the perfect time, with the perfect touches, just like always.

He pulls aways and pecks your lips two times more before smiling at you "You know... Tae is getting jealous of us" you whisper to him, playing with his hair while he strokes softly your rosy blushie cheeks.

"Oh yeah?" He pecks your lips again. He just can't get enough of you.

"Mhm hm" you hum and he hugs you laying back at the bed, your hand fitting perfectly his waist and his arms pulling you close for a good and warm cuddle.

"I know he's your brother, and my best friend, but he'll have to put up with us being together, you know? It's been almost a year now" he giggles a little by the end of the sentence and it sounds like a perfect lullaby for you.

"Hmm, I'm not gonna fight him, ok? Let him live. He always had me for himself, now he gotta share, it's hard" you jokingly mock your brother and Jungkook could not hold a laugh inside of him.

"I know. He just have to know that i won't let you go." He says it more to you than to your brother and you nod in response smiling shyly.

"He knows it"

"And i hope you know it too" he lifts your chin and caresses it , staring at your almond shaped eyes "I'm yours. I'll always be" his tattooed hand slide to your waist pulling you closer as he gives you a small kiss but not to small to be a peck. "And are you? Mine?" It's not like you didn't say it to him, or better, sang it to him, while both of you went crazy to Are you mine by Artic Monkeys two weeks ago, but he loves to hear it.

"I am. I'll always be" he softly smiles at you kissing all over your face once again. It's becoming a habit, and you love it.

"You promise?" He looks at you and you both laugh when you hum - together - to Promise by Jimin, like you share one only brain cell. He stares at you when you take long, holding his pinky up and slapping your butt with his free hand, the hand that once were on your waist "Yah, tell me you promise"

"I do, Jungkook. I promise" you smile and he hugs you back, gently squeezing your ass, making a red tint stink in your cheek and you let on of your giggles out.

"Thank you, Cara mia"

"You welcome" you snuggle your hands through his hair again and he hums in response. You can say you're obsessed with his hair. You're obsessed with him, that's the true.

Kissing his chest, you say with a muffled voice "now let's sleep, my Jungkook" he pecks your head and mutters a small 'yes' and it doesn't really take that long for you to enter in Dreamland.

Honestly, with Jungkook by your side, under you, caressing your arms and hugging you tight, you think, no, you're sure, you're already on Dreamland.

___________

Well... I actually wrote more than I imagined yesterday lol but i love it this way. (If there's any writing mistakes, let me know)

I don't know what scenario I'll make today or if I'll just cry about this one again :/

It's a tough decision, yk

Anyways, i wish you good reading and stay well, safe and healthy.

Good morning, good evening, good night,

Be happy, army<3

[brick-a-doodle-do]

Alrighty make my brain work to remember who’s in the DC universe again lol. (I may get peeps names wrong)

Batman au

I love the idea of Tommy just being really clumsy but trying to help lol. Gives him love: by making him a crime fighter lol

Now we love good ol Gotham city. Who ideally would fit commissioner Gordon and his daughter Barbara? I’d love to think we’d get someone to fit batgirl here at some point lol.

And honestly I love the idea of Dream as like the Ridler but better. He’s really crafty and just word games! But like that could also be Quackity because again: mind games lol but he’s the joker. Idk these 2 villains could really be either character I think

Also is Techno like the standard Bruce Wayne in this with the tragic backstory and is a billion still? I wanna know his origins lol

And and and is Techno definitely batman or are you sticking with Technos boar theme lore wise? I’m curious :3

Okie thanks for answering 🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭❤️

AGHH thank you sm becky!! brainrot for this au is real and these are amazing :] (and dw it's been a while since i've been into batman. at least it's the easier dc universe and not whatever marvel has going on)

YES love him. i feel that kinda sums up part of his character cause techno just always says "why are you like this" when tommy is running around techno's house stealing stuff and breaking things LMAO

also wilbur himself has said tommy breaks everything he touches. so mini-giant tommy for the WIN

YES we do love a good ol crime infested gotham city >:)

hmm well i might make some changes with the significance of barbara in this au just to fit techno's character, especially with batman's attraction to her. also i want to play around with the whole c!techno being used as a weapon trait,,, i could technically have gordon be schlatt and barbara be tubbo, which would then solidify dream as superman,,,,

god damn it's hard mushing two fandoms together cause usually i just make a new setting for my aus but i have to keep traits from two characters :')

i could see tubbo as batgirl, kind of? just techno taking tubbo under his wing for a bit, like he did with tommy. this could also offer some clingyduo bonding. and some angst if i follow lore iykyk :3

and YEAH the riddler & the penguin are the two people i'd like to have figured out,,, i'm thinking maybe having jack be one of them, but i'm not entirely sure what c!jack is to c!techno and vice versa, but otherwise i wouldn't be opposed to it. jack i can see being the riddler,,,,, but YEAH i do like dream being them, but i think i'm going for superman being dream,,,

i'll need to pirate the batman movies at some point to refresh my memory because i can't keep relying on fandom wiki to help me 😭

techno does have the same backstory as batman pretty much. parents died in a similar fashion. the only different thing is how techno met phil,,,,

and as for his current self i'm not really sure how he got rich. bruce had like his whole company or smth i kinda forget,, anyway i'd say techno just worked really hard doing a lot of different stuff as a kid. maybe phil created minecraft and techno helped a LOT along the way and got a lot of the money from it 😭 both of those can be canon for now fjsdfj

after techno's parents died and he met phil n all, he went into a foster home but ran away from it pretty quickly just because he wanted to do things on his own. and besides, he had a tiny father-figure to help him, he'd be fine. like i said, he did a lot of neighborly chores and worked around the city with part-times to just get some stability,,\

i thought about it, but i'd say he's definitely batman for this au. don't worry i have another superhero au coming soon where he's more technoblade :D

thank you sm for the questions !! fun worldbuilding >:)

[viridian-artist]

Okay I don't wanna be rude or anything rkght-? But I'm very new to the selfship community, I mean I've always selfshipped bit I didn't know there was a COMMUNITY yknow

Anyways whenever I selfshipped I never saw them as mine or anything or actuslly as my partner it was always just haha and wishful thinking, but when I joined that selfship community I saw stuff about sharing

Which I've never ever seen before. Then I looked at some people's accounts and realized they were referring to their f/o's as their boyfriends and girlfriends etc

So basically, do people actuslly get upset that other people selfship with someone they selfship

Like does it ACTUALLY affect their mental health

Bc for me they were never MINE they were js a character I was into. But then it gets kinda more concerning when it's not just Hobie brown or Alistor or Husk. Fictional characters aren't as concerning. But when it comes to real people, like Rendog or Joel or Grian can you really call them yours? These are REAL people mind you and they don't belong to anyone.

Anyways, I'm just hoping you can explain you're thought process or something,I hope this wasn't rude

First off, who said anyone here was selfshipping with IRL Rendog, Grian, or whoever else? As shown in the screenshot below of my PINNED POST::

I've personally only ever selfshipped with CHARACTER Rendog, hence the "c!" part in front of his name. I know there are people that purely see the cubito as the content creator, yet I am of the group that places a separation between the two. I love the content creator, don't get me wrong, but I ONLY selfship with the silly dog hybrid character he plays on the silly Minecraft server.

Secondly, yes. It can absolutely affect someone's mental health. I am not ashamed of admitting that I can get very upset by it, yet I'm working on it. I acknowledge it's not the healthiest thing in the world to be so heavily attached to a fictional character.

That said, it's not like I willingly act this way. I'm not going into the nitty gritty of WHY I'm so attached to cRendog other than saying that it's a mix of me having formally found Ren (the content creator) and his Hermitcraft Season 9 POV shortly after escaping a toxic/abusive relationship and seeking comfort as well as stress from having battled medical issues last year. I say formally because I knew who he was due to the Life/Traffic series, but I never quite got around to watching UNTIL Hermitcraft Season 9.

I personally view cRendog as my boyfriend. Not in a serious way, of course, but rather I find comfort in that. Even then, it's the specific version of cRendog that I've gradually changed? Nothing drastic or heavily different. The cRendog I selfship with is a mix of the one we see on Hermitcraft with some headcanons, as seen below::

The cRendog I personally selfship with is a fat transmasc bigender dog hybrid with a tooth gap, paints his nails, and (now) has grey hairs mixed in with his long brown hair.

There's more shifts and adjustments to his personality and mannerisms that I won't go into here (as it's not entirely relevant other than they exist). These changes exist because I've spent so much of my personal time drawing art and writing and simply talking about the relationship he'd have with my Hermitsona/self insert.

He may not be real, instead lines on a page and pixels on a screen, but it's what he REPRESENTS that affects me. I care deeply for him and genuinely appreciate what he's done for me as a comfort character. I refer to him less as a comfort character and more like a boyfriend, simply because to me? It simply suits the situation more.

Overall, I can't speak for others and how they selfship or how it affects them. Nor do I intend to speak for them. This is how it is for me with cRendog. Again, you're not being rude, and I don't mind answering further questions.

[julibeeline]

a special spark [georgenotfound]

it was an ongoing joke that george had a massive crush on you. he would take you out on minecraft dates, or donate to your streams just to get a reaction from you.

nobody could tell if it was real, or if it was just an act for internet fame. well, nobody except dream and sapnap.

they knew george’s feelings were as real as real could get, and they would play a “wingman” figure as part of the so called joke. often times they would encourage him to just spit it all out, but george being george, it never really happened.

you never looked at george as more than a friend. yes, the joke was funny, but it was all you took it as. something scandalous to feed the fans. but you werent complaining, because at the end of the day, you earned viewers too.

i guess you could say it was like love of host, except one person thinks its love and the other thinks its host.

another part of this joke was that you never reciprocated these feelings. even on the streamed minecraft dates you would deny his flowers, reject every sappy pick up line he made.

something you didnt know, was that your funny bits affected george. it would break his heart piece by piece whether he liked it or not.

only dream caught on to the way his face would fall for a split second when your minecraft character walked away when he approached you, or how he would get quiet when he heard you and sapnap talking in the vc.

this never ending cycle repeated with no end, over and over again until one facetime. one special facetime that changed the way you started looking at george.

"hey george!" your voice rung through his phone, face soon popping up in full screen. george smiled, waving at the camera excitedly.

this was the first time you called him first.

you guys talked for hours, about the dumbest things that came to mind.

"If the ocean could be another color, what would it be?" you asked george, only to be instantly followed by a "shit youre colorblind im so sorry"

"you know y/n, we never stop clapping, the time between our claps just get longer."

"no clapping is supposed to be short so therefore you can't call that a clap."

"whatever, so what music do you listen to?"

"why do i feel like throwing up"

"wanna meet my cat soot?"

"no unless you change his name. what about goggles?"

the bickering went back and forth like this for a while until george became awfully quiet.

"george? you there?" you ask gently.

in response, you heard slow breathing, and shuffling here and there.

you smiled as you took a glimpse of the screen, where you found george sleeping, his hair messy and a blanket draped across his shoulders where his clothes were slightly wrinkled for remaining in the same spot for so long.

his cheeks were flushed, probably because they were in contact with his pillow. his lips were somewhat pouting, as his chest went up and down every so often.

you admired him for a second, taking a look at his facial features carefully. it felt so wrong yet so powerful to catch him in such a vulnerable state. something anyone else in the world would die to see.

little did george know, this moment caused a spark. a special spark that meant you finally started reciprocating his feelings.

Whoop Whoop next chapter is in! Lil guy belongs to @toastraccoon

Cel sighed as he buried his face into his knees. He was currently trying to come to terms with the fact that he had just developed a crush on his new friend...if he could even call Mari a new friend at this point.

They had been traveling together for two years after all.

Cel groaned grabbing the attention of Mari, they turned around, looking at Cel in concern

"You okay buddy?" They asked as they jumped out of the open Google Chrome tab and onto the taskbar.

They cringed slightly as another twinge of pain shot up their back and it was Cels turn to frown in concern.

"Mari-"

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt that much, I'm okay" Mari shrugged, cringing again as the movement jostled their injury.

Cels concerned frown deepened at that. "Mari it's been a week and your injury is still just as bad as it was when you first got it!" Cel stated firmly, Mari shrunk slightly at that, looking up at Cel a look of realisation falling upon their face.

"But...I took a healing potion" they whispered, now eyeing Cel worriedly.

"Well it didn't work!" Cel snapped

"It worked for you didn't it!?!" Mari snapped back and they both went silent for a few moments.

Cel thought back to the last time he had taken a Minecraft healing potion...when he and Mari had first met. Cel had been in pretty bad shape and whilst the small bits of code damage had been healed by the potion, the largest injury had remained until eventually it had "healed" on its own. Well that’s what Cel had believed, until the injury had flared up again during that attack the day he and Mari were kidnapped.

"...yeah, it worked for the small ones" Cel shuffled awkwardly as Maris' concerned look deepened "the large one on my back stayed there for about a week...I thought it had healed too but...it started hurting again...it was small at first but...it got worse..." Cel whispered, lowering his voice at that last bit as guilt began eating away at his throat.

Mari looked at Cel in shock, opening their mouth to speak when they seemingly decided against it.

"Okay" Mari put their hands up in defeat "let's see what the internet says about this" they turned around and jumped a mile as their eyes landed upon the small green stick standing in front of them.

"GAH! AHuh-" They doubled over in pain as the injury was jostled once again. Cel jumped up and quickly made his way over, grabbing Maris arm as they began to lean too far left for Cels liking.

"Oh gosh! Sorry I didn't mean to startle ya!" Lil guy began eyeing Mari nervously as they began leaning heavily on Cel, much to their dismay "are they okay?" His eyes moved over to Cel as he asked the question.

"No...they're not" Cel sighed looking at his now struggling to stand friend in concern "They were attacked by a powerful stick last week...just after we first met you...and...and they've been having back pain ever since..." Cel finished now looking over at Lil Guy;

Lil Guy shuffled nervously, a guilty expression written across his face.

"Yeah, I should probably apologise for that" Cel gave him a confused look, but remained silent, letting Lil Guy continue.

"I heard you both getting attacked...I did try to help you but uh...the group knocked me out before I could get you out...I've been worrying about you two all week...and rightly so" Lil Guys nervous look moved over to the still tensed up Mari "Mari looks like their suffering from a bad case of code damage..." The small stick began making his way around the duo.

"You don't have to apologize for that...it was three v one-" Cel smiled reassuringly "besides you're here now...you can help Mari now, can't you?..." Cel shuffled awkwardly, worried he was being too forceful.

Though Lil Guys' content smile quickly chased those worries away "yeah...I'm here now" He began pulling off his oversized backpack as Cels gaze returned to Mari.

Cel looked between the two for a while before realising the medic would probably need some help reaching Maris wound if they remained in their current position.

"Mari?" Cel looked up at Mari, they looked over at Cel slowly. Cel could practically see the pain written over their face and his heart ached at it, but he needed to do this in order for them to get the help they needed.

"Mari, could you sit down please...Lil Guy needs to be able to reach your back" Cel asked gently, Maris' pained look deepened for a few moments before they slowly began trying to lower themselves to the floor.

Cel supported Mari on their journey to the floor until they had both made it to their destination.

A few moments of Lil Guy rummaging in his bag later and he had pulled out what he would need. Cel looked over in curiosity as Lil Guy unscrewed the lid off of a small pot and began applying the thick cream like substance onto Maris' injury.

Mari hissed and tensed up even more as the substance hit their skin, in response Cel grabbed Maris hand and began muttering soft words of comfort as the hiss slowly turned into soft whimpers.

Lil Guy watched this out of the corner of his eye and smiled playfully.

"So, how long have you two been together then?" Lil guy chuckled as Cel sputtered, caught off guard by the healers question.

He opened his mouth to explain when Mari beat him to it;

"We've been together for two years now" Mari stated as casually as they could considering their current physical state.

Cels face went red as they stared at Mari in shock. "M-Mari I don't think you understand what Lil Guy is saying" Cel blurted out the confusing feelings attacking his mind full force as his lovestruck mind tried to convince itself that Mari had actually meant those words.

Whilst his more realistic thinking mind kept yelling at him that it wasn't possible seeing the time frame Mari had just stated.

Mari stared at Cel in confusion for a few moments. before they could open their mouth to reply however a new wave of pain caused them to tense up again.

Without hesitation Cel quietly began rubbing Maris hand. Lil Guy chuckled lightly at that and Cel looked back up at them sharply, blush still evident on his face. Lil Guy chuckled again before going back to treating Mari.

A few moments later and Lil Guy was done covering Maris injury in cream, he put the container back into his pack, before pulling out a bandage.

"This'll help keep the cream from rubbing off" Lil Guy muttered as he began wrapping the bandage around Maris torso.

Cel continued to hold onto Maris hands, not noticing that Mari had relaxed significantly since the back rubbing had stopped, still trying to fully come to terms with his own emotions.

Mari didn't seem to notice either, still wanting to find out how they had misunderstood Lil Guys question.

"Hey Lil Guy?" Mari asked as said stick secured the bandage into place.

"Yeah?" Lil Guy replied, still focused on the bandage.

"What did you mean when you said me and Cel were together?" Lil Guy paused, looking thoughtful for a few moments, trying to figure out the best way to explain this concept to Mari.

"Mari do you know what love is?"

It was Maris turn to look thoughtful.

"I...kind of?...I know there are different kinds, I just" Maris face fell slightly "I don't know how they feel yet...I...I think I know what the friendship kind feels like, because that's what I feel about Cel...but I'm still not entirely sure"

Cel had only been half listening to the conversation as he continued to softly play with Maris hand.

His frown deepened slightly as he heard Mari refer to him as a friend. His frown deepened even more as he shook the disappointed feeling away.

Mari needed a friend, they could only handle a friend right now.

You don't even completely understand what you're feeling, calm down-

Lil Guy nodded, quietly thinking the new information over as they finished wrapping Maris torso and packed the remaining bandages away.

"Alright, all done!" He chirped, ignoring the bewildered look he got from Cel as the subject was suddenly changed.

"Now all you need is rest and..." Lil Guy looked outside of the desktop window, the user was currently not there, but that didn't mean they wouldn't return any time soon.

"...this isn't really the safest place to do so...but don't worry, I know a place" Lil Guy got up, pulling his oversized backpack onto his back as he did so.

Mari tried to follow Lil Guys lead, but ended up almost falling over again as Cel was still holding onto their hand and Maris back was still rather sore.

Cel quickly let go and steadied his friend, gently helping Mari stand fully back onto their feet.

Mari smiled at Cel gratefully and Cel had to push down another wave of the unwanted emotion only managing a half smile in response.

Cel slowly helped Mari into the tab just as Lil Guy had finished typing in the URL. He checked if the duo were there before pressing the search button, the page loaded and all that was there was a black screen, a brown wooden door sitting just in the middle of it.

The duo began eyeing the door nervously. Yes they trusted Lil Guy more than the sticks that had previously attacked them. But having only just learnt the sticks name, it was fair to say that they were both a bit hesitant.

Sensing this Lil Guys smile turned warm "Hey, it's okay" He quickly jumped off the search bar and walked towards the door "I'll go in first, if that'll make you guys feel better" He smiled pulling out a key and unlocking the door.

Cel still looked incredibly hesitant, but after seeing the comforting smile Lil Guy was giving them, he relaxed a little. "It's alright, we'll go" Mari smiled back, grabbing Cels hand and walking towards the door.

Cel looked up at Mari, he was still hesitant to go into the door, but he also trusted Mari too much to say so.

So he allowed himself to be dragged through.

If anything went wrong they'd still be together...right?

[gaycey-sketchit]

(Gary anon) Our first crumb of Gary for the year and it's not JN-related. xD If the short ever gets dubbed to English, Veronica seems reprise Ash for it. (Yes, brotherly vibes. It'd be nice if he met Chloe too; the Umbreon thing is still a missed opportunity) Still haven't really played Minecraft yet; I've seen gameplay at least, but I knew since its debut it'd be something that'd resonate with a lot of people just from the style and premise alone. Expanded a lot since then. (It's honestly the

.

(Part 2) way I can see Serena being brought back without steering up too much of a storm. No matter how hard the writers try, having Ash being anywhere near will distract all focus from Chloe. Plus I rather she returns with the aura of being her own character and not shipping content. Though, Serena x Chloe might bring from this. Can't wait to see "Chloe stole Serena from Ash" discourse. :P ) The only big thing about the episode is that Cassidy and Butch had quit.

(Part 3) Some think the Gatcha is finally gone, but having seen the subs, I kinda doubt it. Journeys is still on a mission to showcase every current Pokemon; it's a little over the halfway point now. Otherwise, you can wait for the dub instead. With how fast they've been shooting out these episodes since the VA change to try and catch up, it's impressive no one hit a snafu with their throats during it. It's been a consistent stride. (I will say, on top of them holding out

(Part 4) on 'High Touch' and Cassidy having her old Pokemon referenced, feeling even more good on seeing Gary's other Pokemon again) Heh, just got back from seeing a Snorlax obliterate someone's poor Oshawott with Hyper Beam on Twitter. (For me, I haven't change my mind on Cynda; but Oshawott is VERY close cause I debating on having Arcanine on board or just wing 2 Fire-types)

Ha, yeah. I'm glad for all those little cameos, it's very cool!

The joy I would feel. I love Veronica Taylor as Ash, and I love how much she still cares about that role even after all these years since the recasting happened.

I really do still want Gary and Chloe to meet. The potential!

Yeah, I was pretty late to the party myself with Minecraft--I first played it in 2016. At first I was kind of hesitant with it because I was used to games with plot and objectives and what are you supposed to do?? But the answer is that you do whatever you want and that turned out to be very cool. And it's come a long way, with all the updates over the years and it's still going. My interest in it waxes and wanes but when I get into it again I tend to get really into it, and part of that is discovering what's changed since I last played. A couple weeks ago I came across some glow squids, a newish mob, for the first time while exploring and was taken aback by how pretty they were. I take a very strong "graphics aren't what makes a good game" stance, and a big part of that is just because people tend to not realize a game doesn't have to look one certain way to be beautiful.

Anyway. Affectionate rambling about Minecraft aside.

Yeah, for sure. Serena's return, when/if it happens, will definitely cause some kind of stir but how bad things get will depend on how that situation is handled. I can't remember if we talked about this before (you may have noticed I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes) but Serena would also be really good for Chloe to talk to, since from what I've heard (still haven't watched much of XY) it took her some time to figure out who she was and the path she wanted to take.

Yeah, Serena deserves to get to be her own person outside of shipping, but the ship stuff is inevitable. I think Chloe/Serena could be a good ship though, I'd at least enjoy seeing the fanart.

It seems like a very good episode for Team Rocket enjoyers! A friend of mine who doesn't even like Journeys (and loves Team Rocket very much) watched it and was talking about it in the Discord they and I are both in last night, and they really enjoyed it and I'm very happy for them about it. I'll probably just watch it when it's dubbed though because Legends Arceus has pretty much taken over my life. (A shame that the gacha is still probably a thing, but alas. Can't win 'em all, as the saying goes.)

It really is amazing, despite my grievances with the TPCI dub I really do respect all the talented hardworking people who make it happen (except I don't respect Sarah Natochenny anymore after she defended NFTs on Twitter, but I do think she's a good VA).

Yeah, I think there's hope for seeing more of Gary's Pokemon!

Oh, that poor Oshawott. Ow. My Pokemon have taken some pretty hard hits themselves but not HYPER BEAM.

I ended up choosing Rowlet myself! I thought about shaking things up a bit from my usual tradition of choosing the grass starter on my first playthrough, like how the game itself deviates from the formula, and I almost went with Oshawott but my heart said to choose the grass starter and that's what happened. (Oh, I am a firm believer that having a balanced team is secondary to having as many beloveds as possible. I go through most of my playthroughs with at least two grass-types, and on this one I have Budew and Rowlet c: )

Basically, This is Basically What Every Dr. Phil Episode is Basically Like Basically

Dr. Phil: Hello, I am Doctor Philip, and today we'll be tackling an issue that is very widespread, but rarely spoken about. Gaming addiction. Now, I know many of you know at least one person in your life who plays video games, whether that be a child or, in some cases, a spouse.

Audience: *laughs*

Dr. Phil: But, when unregulated, gaming can lead to serious addiction. Today I have with me a mother who's home life has been torn apart as her very own son descended into gaming addiction.

Mother: *sniffing and wiping tears away* Hello, doctor. Will you cure my son?

Dr. Phil: Well, dear, that's... uhh. Let's just bring the boy out already.

*dramatic music plays*

Gamer: My name is Gregg, I'm 19 years old, I'm a gaming addict, and I don't give a f*ck.

Audience: *gasps*

Gamer: Yeah, I game for 19 to 20 hours a day and the other four hours I use for looking up sick gaming strats or beating it to anime porn. I once sucked off a dude because he offered me minecraft diamonds. I don't give a sh*t, I would've sucked him off even if he didn't have the diamonds.

Audience: *gasps louder*

Gamer: Do I hate women? Yes, I hate women. I've emailed Anita Sarkeesian my address. She knows where I am if she wants to fight me. Feminists, square the fuck up. People always ask why I don't do anything other than gaming. I ask them why don't they mind their own f*cking business. I don't think I have a problem. Dr. Phil can honestly eat my whole an*s.

Gamer: *walks out onto the stage*

Audience: *boos*

Gamer: F*ck all y'all! I don't give a f*ck! *flips off the audience*

Dr. Phil: Please take a seat, son.

Gamer: *sits very disrespectfully*

Mother: *starts bawling*

Dr. Phil: Son, do you think that was acceptable behavior?

Gamer: The only behavior I care about is the behavioral patterns for enemies in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. I love video games: Master chief, Mario, uhm, Blinx the Cat... Blasto. Love those guys!

Audience: *boos*

Gamer: I don't care! You think I care! F*ck all y'all!

Dr. Phil: All these people are booing you, doesn't that make you feel bad?

Gamer: Are you deaf? Have I not articulated the fact that I absolutely 100% do not care about anything except for video games? I. DON'T. GIVE. A. F*CK.

Mother: He's always like this, there's no changing him. It didn't used to be this way... just *starts bawling harder*

Dr. Phil: I think there is a way to change him, and we'll find out more about that after these messages.

*Dr. Phil theme plays*

*The lights dim and every goes empty eyed and slack-jawed*

Gamer: Heh, this is weird. *nudges mom and whispers to her* Hey, we're getting paid for this, right. Hey, mom? ...Mom?

Mother: *completely unresponsive*

Dr. Phil: *completely unresponsive*

Audience: *completely unresponsive*

Gamer: Heh... this is REALLY weird. *looks around nervously*

Audience member: Hey!

Gamer: Huh?

Audience Member: I'm in the audience! Over here! My arms are strapped to the chair! You have to help me!

Gamer: *runs to the audience member*

Audience Member: Thank god, I thought I was the only one here left with any brains.

Gamer: *hastily undoing the straps* What the fuck is going on?

Audience Member: I don't know, but this definitely isn't Dr. Phil's show.

Gamer: Then what is it?

Audience Member: No clue, but we have to get out of here before the commercial breaks ends.

Gamer: *successfully undoes the straps*

Audience Member: C'mon! Let's go. *grabs the gamer by the arm*

Gamer: *resists* Wait a fucking minute. Why am I supposed to trust you?

Audience Member: Because I'm normal and everyone else is braindead if you haven't noticed.

Gamer: Yeah, but I'm not going anywhere until I know what's going on. Being on Dr. Phil is a huge opportunity for me to, y'know, advertise my brand. I'm a gamer if you haven't noticed.

Audience Member: Are you insane? Have you had a look around you? Does this anything happening right now seem normal to you? Who cares about your "brand". Do you even remember how you got here?

Gamer: Well... now that you mention, I can't really remember exactly.

Audience Member: Yeah, now let's get the fuck out of here.

*the gamer and audience member run through the back exit into the hallways*

*the Dr. Phil theme blares as the show returns from commercial break*

Gamer: My ears!

Audience Member: Move it! *jerks gamer's arm*

Gamer: Okay, calm down.

*the entire audience screams in unison*

Gamer: What the fuck is that!?

Audience Member: It's the reason we're running! Quick, in here!

*the duo duck into a cramped broom closest*

Gamer: Listen, you have to tell me what the fuck is going on right now!

Audience Member: Shh.

Gamer: Don't shush me!

Audience Member: *covers the gamer's mouth*

*agonized screaming and violently rumbling passes by the broom closest*

Gamer: Holy shit!

Audience Member: Stop yelling.

Gamer: How can I not yell when it sounds the gates of hell just passed by us!

Audience Member: You want it to turn back around and find us?

Gamer: Alright. I'll calm down... I'll. *start sobbing*

Audience Member: Please, please stop crying. You're too loud.

Gamer: I can't! I'm under a lot of stress!

Audience Member: You'll be dead if you don't shut the fuck.

Gamer: I never wanted any of this, I just wanted to go on Dr. Phil so people would recognize me on YouTube and I could become a popular Let's Player!

Audience Member: If you don't shut up right now, I'll-

*a snake bites the audience member's neck*

Audience Member: *eyes roll up*

Gamer: *screams like a baby*

*snakes slither under the closet door*

Gamer: *stumbles out of the closet and falls into hallway covered with snakes* Fuck me! Fuck me!

Gamer: *attempts to run away but falls beneath the snakes and into and empty void*

*agonized screaming echoes from all around*

Gamer: Am I in hell? I have to be in hell. You don't fall through a pool of snakes and wind up anywhere else but hell.

Dr. Phil: THERE IS NO HELL.

Gamer: Doc, is that you? If this isn't hell then where am I?

Dr. Phil: YOU'RE IN MY REALM SON. *Dr. Phil's face appears glowing in the distance, his eyes are empty sockets and his mouth hangs open*

Gamer: What the fuck are you?

Dr. Phil: I'M DOCTOR PHILIP.

Gamer: You're not Dr. Phil!

Dr. Phil: I NEVER SAID I WAS, SON. *a wall of gray human bodies lights up surrounding Dr. Phil's massive head, dr. phil's giant snake body slithers towards the gamer and opens its third eye* I'M DOCTOR PHILIP.

*the wall of bodies screams in unison as Dr. Phil devours the gamer*

*Dr. Phil theme plays loudly*

Dr. Phil: THE NEXT EPISODE IS STARTING. I'M LATE. *slithers into the wall of bodies and his snake body slowly transforms into a normal Dr. Phil's body*

Dr. Phil: *crawls onto the stage*

Dr. Phil: *dusts himself off* Woo, I went on quite an adventure.

Audience: *laughs*

Dr. Phil: I'm glad we can all find some time in our lives to laugh, but today's episode is covering something that is most certainly not a laughing matter. It's one of the most serious addictions striking America today and it's rarely talked about. I'm talking about people who love to pee on their mattresses and then pay people exorbitant amounts of money to suck their disgusting mattresses clean.

Audience: ... *someone clears their throat*

Dr. Phil: What's the matter?

Cameraguy: Spsss, Doc. That's not what the episode is about. It's about people with terrible gambling issues.

Dr. Phil: Oh, ah, fuck! Cut to commercial!
