[meetmeatthecoda]

You are freakin awesome I love this blog and your writing so much

Wow, um, what??? 😭 Welp, this is officially the sweetest, most unexpected ask I've ever received, hands down 🥹 So, needless to say, thank you so much, anon, you're far, far too kind 🥲 I apologize for the delay in answering this (hectic-ness of the holidays & all) & I hope that doesn't make you doubt the sincerity with which I appreciate this ask!! To think that somebody likes my silly blog (especially this long after TBL, which is the only thing for which I might have been somewhat identifiable at some point in time, haha) where - true to form - I just reblog random things I like with stupid tags..... AND my writing?! That's a hell of a compliment 😍 So yeah, thank you so much again, anon, suffice it to say that YOU ARE freakin awesome, & much love to you, my friend!! ❤️

Priest getou and nun reader or villager reader....(anything other than the word both isnt acceptable...😡😡😡 /j) -🪄

🪄 ANON I SEE YOU AND YOU RAISE A VALID POINT but please consider…… priest!geto and non-believer!reader.

imagine just waltzing into a church one day. almost as if on a whim. you don’t believe in god, you aren’t interested in praying, but you’re exploring this quiant little town, and the church looks pretty from afar, and you figure it could be a nice way to burn time.

you enter the building to find that a sermon is taking place. a priest is speaking to the few rows of people listening. the church is fairly small, but paintings and sculptures and the mellow glow of beautiful cathedral glass give it a sense of mystique that you’re drawn to. you take a seat and listen along, halfheartedly, not praying like the rest, not singing along to the hymns… you stick out like a sore thumb, but hey, it’s not as if anyone is paying attention.

except someone is, and it happens to be the priest that was holding the sermon just a second ago. the same one you spent most of your time oogling once the paintings started to bore you, because he’s so pretty for a priest. beautiful long black hair, amber eyes, sharp facial features, pretty hands and fingers — and the smoothest, silkiest voice you’ve heard in your life. like a sun-soaked bundle of lillies.

… also, his cassock is just a little too tight of a fit to tear your eyes away from.

you stick around a little longer once almost everyone has left, just scrolling on your phone and basking in the quiet, and that’s when he approaches you. he jokingly tells you that it’s always obvious when a non-believer enters a place of worship, but he’s not mad; he’s amused. you end up chatting a bit about your beliefs, he’s a lot more chill than you expected, and…. well. he’s just really, really charming.

so maybe you end up coming back the week after. maybe his smile is a bit like a spider’s web. maybe it becomes a kind of routine to speak to him after his sermons; you still don’t sing along to the hymns or spend any time on prayers, and he still finds it funny. maybe once in a while you end up liking a paragraph from the scripture he’s reciting, and he’s always more than happy to discuss it with you. but mostly you’re there for him. for your chats, for standing outside and badgering him about his beliefs while he smokes and listens with an amused grin.

rain hits the ground with a steady rhythm, earthy tobacco floods your veins, spiders by the ceiling weave a web of dew, and his presence is just a little more intoxicating than you’d deem appropriate.

suguru just… isn’t a very orthodox priest. he doesn’t care for the bible as more than a literary piece, he has his own view of god, his own thoughts on worship. he smokes. he may or may not occasionally manipulate church-goers into donating money so he can invest in another overpriced painting. you ask him if there are any bodies in the basement you should know about, and he answers that any self-respecting priest wouldn’t conduct their blood rituals in the basement of their own church. he knows how to pick locks. he tells you once, very quietly, that he doesn’t believe man was created in god’s image. there’s a look in his eyes that you don’t comment on.

he’s funny. charming. pleasantly suspicious. your conversations are enjoyable for the both of you, and eventually the edges of his cedar eyes begin to crinkle the slightest bit whenever you walk into his field of vision. sometimes he eyes your lips for a little too long, and a honeyed irony seeps into his grin when you call him out on it. he asks you if you’re tempting him on purpose, and you shrug. whatever exists between the two of you remains unspoken.

one day, he tells you that he believes it was god who sent you to him. you furrow your brows with a protest, a mutter reminding him of your beliefs, how you believe in free will — how you waltzed into his church out of your own volition. no one else’s.

he only smiles, and flicks the butt of his cigarette. you think he remains unconvinced.

those 2011 pics remind me of hard the McLaren race suits used to fuck, I loved the vodafone era suits so much 🥹

YES AGREED!!! I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, literally peak!!!!!

Thank you for sending this ask bcs now I get to talk about 2011 in particular. There were these special Saturday race suits and they're all so pretty!!! Hugo Boss did a design competition to celebrate their partnership with McLaren and different artists made different designs for the Quali days. They're so beautiful 🥹🥹 Why can't they do anything fun like that now???? I digress, I went through all the Qualis and compiled pics of all of them!!

“Loss of limb, (just one if it helps)”

13 years later and I still can’t believe Dreamworks had the balls to just amputate a 15-year old kid and handled it in like the best way possible.

DreamWorks has always had such mature themes now that I think about it, and they introduced them and handled them in a way that seems so natural to children.

Hiccup’s amputation is such a good example.

DreamWorks didn’t gloss over it either, and even they continued, in every show and every movie from then on, to show what it’s like living with a disability like that. There were some things Hiccup had a harder time doing than before, but in no way did it get in the way of his goals and dreams.

I didn’t understand how important that was when I was a child, watching the movie for the first time, but I understand it now.

DreamWorks has guts, and I’m so happy that they do

[anhonest-puck]

[butwhatifidothis]

I just finished reading your rewrite for the Golden Deer and Verdant Wind, and I wanted to say that was fantastic! :D You put so much thought and care into it, it's so nicely setup and detailed! I do wish the in-game GD's route had been centered around story beats like the ones you laid out, they hit very satisfying thematic notes. Claude and everyone else deserved more than what they got in canon, especially in the VW route. Thank you for all the hard work and love you put into this and for sharing it with us, this was a marvelous read!! :D

Thank you so much omg!! I'm still really satisfied with how that rewrite came out (can NOT believe it's been over three and a half years since I wrote it man 😭) so I'm super happy to see others still like it 💞💞💞

[mattplatonic]

halooooo could you make a tutorial or something like that on how you draw I really like your style and I would like to see your drawing process, the brushes you use and how you choose the colors etc, I hope this is not annoying

Hello, Anon! I'm glad you asked this!

My style is... Hard to describe, I mostly free-hand things.

(A recent example of a work in progress.)

I've actually done a tutorial before on how I draw things, for the lolz! I don't think it helps much tho

As for colors? I try to pick bright colors that pop, not quite neon, but not quite dull either. I think that colors shouldn't clash when you put them in grayscale, too many colors? Reuse them! Most of my pallets aren't more than 4 colors. Another thing? I hate pure yellow so I always use an orange-yellow. (If you really just want a color pallet, use the wario land 2 pallet. 'Sept, use better yellows)

As you could probably see, I like adding colored lineart details most people would miss, which also ties into how I shade! I mainly shade using cooler and darker versions of the flat colors, and mainly think of an imaginary light source where the shadows go in the opposite direction of.

I use Aseprite and Ibis Paint X, Aseprite is a pixel art program, so... only one brush there! I mainly use these 3 brushes on Ibis Paint, however.

Are there any other things you might be curious about? Happy to help!

[therubithus]

hiii!! can you do a doodle of grian? any type ^v^

OH MY WORD YES MY BELOVED (/p)

TYSM YOU'RE MY FIRST ASK AND THIS IS ALSO MY FIRST ART UP ON MY BLOG THIS IS THE MOST JOYUS DAY

[khaire-traveler]

Hello! I just wanted to pop in and say thank you.

A couple months ago I was re-entering Hellenic Polytheism after having to take a break from it, and whilst researching I found your blog. It’s helped me immensely and honestly kept me motivated at the beginning to really connect with my deities and talk to them more. You’ve really done wonders for my journey and I cannot thank you enough for it.

I hope you find your next days sunny (or whatever weather you prefer) and enjoyable. You are awesome. Thank you, have a lovely day.

Khaire! I know this is VERY late, but thank you so much for saying these things. I'm truly happy to hear that I've helped you reconnect. I know this is gonna sound silly, but my time on Tumblr has been helpful in some ways to my own practice, and it's really awesome when I'm able to share that with others. I know how tough it can be trying to reconnect after a period of separation, so just know I'm really proud of you for doing your best and reconnecting. It was probably hard, and it's super cool that you were able to stick to it. I hope you're proud of yourself, too. 🫂 I wish you the absolute best on your journey. May the gods be with you, if you wish them to be. 🧡

#God tho this does make me want to pull back up that notebook fic snippet i had#of Margo confronting Molly about this too but like with science.#Margo would know. Just saying. She knows. ⃪ does this mean you have Molly/Margo fic?

Hi anon! sorry this is now several days late but boy do I. ( watched FAMK for the first time in February, wound up with Pages and pages of fic snippets (for a couple ships, margo x molly included) in chicken scratch on physical paper which is always a great sign that im being normal about a show, thought I'd cure myself if I just watched the whole thing a second time and absolutely only made it worse. )

I meant to answer this ask by just typing up the quick excerpt of the fic I was talking to myself in the tags about but...... started typing and did not stop. It lives over here now! Was not the one of the notebook fics I thought would see the light of day but you know? why not.

(I assume if you're here you, like me, have already read all the fics to be found but if you have Not read everything in that tag already, highly recommend. this fandom may be small but boy did it have good food on offer when I rolled in four years late fresh off a few episodes and absolutely screaming.)

Since I went ahead and dropped that one on ao3 at like 4am i'll throw in something a little more typical of the the notebook archives - how about this thing that exists entirely bc i noticed that used bookstore you can see beside the Outpost in season 1 and it gave me Ideas

Sometime post crossword-quiz / pre- run-in at the Jazz club.  

Margo walks fast past the Outpost on her way over to Bargain Books. When she can, she prefers to park down at the other end of the street and not have to go by that eyesore of a bar in the first place, but when you double the size of the astronaut program with twenty female ascans, you turn street parking into a blood sport. On her salary, no way is she playing chicken with the corvettes, not even to avoid mustering a polite smile for a coworker at his inebriated worst. 

Most days, that’s only an issue if she swings by after dark, the hour when everybody’s trickling out and stumbling home for the evening. Otherwise, the dingy whitewashed plywood keeps a nice impenetrable wall between book-seeking passers-by and drunken test pilots. Today, however, a spell of perfect weather is conspiring against her. Someone has the door propped open with a rusty paint can, letting the sound of laughter of clinking glass spill through it onto the sidewalk. 

A flash of green catches Margo’s eye before she can make it past. Despite herself, she recognizes that shade in an instant. It’s the flannel shirt she had to reprimand earlier that afternoon for bringing a lit cigarette into the sim. Molly Cobb, bent over a pool table, chin twisted up towards Patty Doyle, grinning like a woman about to win.  

Just Margo’s luck that this is the perfect time of day—indoor light matching outdoor light—for Molly to catch her eye straight through the open door as she makes her shot. 8-ball, dead in the pocket. 

For no reason she can think of, Margo feels heat rushing up into her cheeks. 

She stalks into Bargain Books in a hurry. 

The sweater-vested owner behind the front desk gives her the polite nod reserved for a good customer (and disinterested conversationalist) as she beelines for Paperback Fiction. She finished Matheson’s Ride the Nightmare last night— should have picked up two when she noticed how short it was in the first place, but nothing else tickled her fancy when she was in here a week ago, so here she is again, browsing spines. Maybe it's time to cave and finally grab a 10¢ copy of Rosemary's Baby from the stack on the end, seeing as it’s the one highly recommended title in her genre-of-choice the entire country seems to have read in the last couple years, but she already knows the ending (and the entire premise of demonic pregnancy does not appeal for tuning out after the work day). 

She’s dubiously eying the back-cover blurb on a Chandler detective thriller instead when a voice over her shoulder says, “Oh, Patty loves this shit.” 

To her great chagrin, Margo jumps, gasps, and drops her book. “Jesus, Molly.” 

“My bad.” 

Molly squats down to pick it up, slouchy brown corduroy flexing over her thighs. She fixes a bend in the cover before offering it back to her, but when Margo tries to take it away, Molly doesn’t let go. Instead, she adopts a playfully quirked brow and tugs it back towards herself inch-by-inch, bringing Margo, frowning, a step closer than she was before. “Came here to see if I could talk you into a drink.” 

Margo’s voice comes out approximately four steps too high as she looks around for some explanatory audience and says incredulously, “In there?” with a jerk of her thumb towards the Outpost’s adjoining wall. 

“Yeah. NASA central, shithole though it may be, but I never see you around.” 

“Well, I’m not an astronaut.” 

“Neither are the five white-shirts who monopolize the best booth in the back six nights a week. They don’t check for a pin at the door, Madison. That’d be no way to run a business. It’s a bar. Come have a drink with me.” 

“With… you.” She asks because she expects there to be an and. Me and the other ascans. Me and the rest of you white-shirt types in the back. Me and Patty Doyle. 

But Molly just raps the cover of The Lady in the Lake with her knuckles and says again, “With me.”

Nooo pls I think your story is so interesting 😭😭 I mean ofc the smut is great (and there's nothing wrong with reading a story for it) but personally I got a lot more invested when you expanded on it, it really elevated the story imo. Not only because, well, it's great to get a fic which explores messy interpersonal relationships and just all the baggage that comes with coming-of-age (especially in the MC's situation), but also because when you know the relationships between the characters and such, the smut scenes actually even hold more weight. My fave parts so far have been getting to see Batsis' slow but gradual development (which is already paying off!! woohoo!!) and Dick's internal conflict regarding her, which have nothing to do with the smut and could be considered "angsty" or "slow" parts.

Idk, personally I love the road you've been taking with the fic and find all the themes really interesting. But that is only if you're enjoying it as well! If you want to explore even more themes because it's what rocks your boat, go for it, or if you want to hold back a little, or even give yourself some time, that's cool too! I assure there's people like me who are eating the full course meal you give us and leaving no crumbs 🫶🫶

- lore anon

Omg! You're so sweet! I really love taking the slow and steady route, I know for a fact that I would have burnt out for good if I'd kept the story as just chapters and chapters of smut. It's also more interesting to flesh out the world and all the little intracies of Batsis' life. I was feeling a lot of self doubt with it lately, but hearing this from you really put a smile on my face! It's always so reassuring when someone sees/likes what you're going for. TY so much for your support Lore Anon!

[malleleothreesome]

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

🍅 ⇢ give yourself some constructive criticism on your own writing

🏜️ -- this one is hard, i treasure all my comments, even the really short ones cuz it means that people decided to use their spoons on me and it makes me very happy

otherwise i gotta say the comments that like,, pick apart the chapter/fic and point out things they like and talk ot the characters in the moment. also when i make fic based off other aus and the original au creator leaves really long comments <3 (i treasure them greatly)

🍅 -- i like the way i write emotions, but i get so caught up in having to be in the right headspace that i'll put off writing until i can sit down for like 3 hours and get in the right headspace to write a few thousand words... i think i could be less harsh about that. if it's okay for all my writer buddies to only write a few hundred words at a time, i don't see why i have to be held at a different standard

[dollarstoreartsupplies]
