Damn, my eyes really said 'and we do not see 🙈' when it comes to my tumblr notifications/tags apparently. Ty for the tag @meles-merrivale, and ooo we love a line that screams tomarrymort. From my recent writing session for the next chapter of Entwined:

“But why in Salazar’s good name would you wait beyond that?” Lucas asked, demanding a real answer this time.

You're up (if you want) @ellionne, @wolfantlersinspace, @neurowriter14 <3

Last sentence tag game (not matter if fanfic/fandom or original work). I got tagged by @sanguine-tenshi @dragonflylady77 @lorifragolina. Thank you,guys! &lt;3

Post your last sentence, then tag as many people as there are words.

"His gut tells him Cherry Lane hides something ugly behind its door - and Jim already met it."

I'm not tagging that many people, only a few, because I'm lazy right now. Tagging, without any pressure but with hugs: @ihni @bigdumbbambieyes @thissortofsorcery @aeon-of-neon @chrisbitchtree @callieb @suometar @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger @passivenovember @strangerqueerthings

Fuck - Dandelions Growing Through Cracked Pavement. I love that fic so much. It's exactly the kind of thing I love to read, and oh boy if my plans could just melt out of my brain and into the exact right words to finish this fic, I'd be drooling to read it.

Marry - Entwined and Come on Down to Hadestown. Entwined because it's my baby, my first fic, and the Tomarry community has made me feel so welcome and supported with it. Come on Down to Hadestown because I think it's some of my best writing and every time I work on it, I feel like I improve as a writer.

Kill - Demon in the Details. Was a super fun idea, but wow the wind is completely out of my sails on that one. It was originally a BB fic that the artist ended up pulling out of, which was a huge bummer. And that was also right around when my life got crazy busy and my ff writing started its big slowdown. So just a sore point of a WIP now. Would ideally like to finish one day, but it's at the rock bottom of my WIP priority list.

Thanks @ellionne for the tag even though I'm late as hell at responding! Needed something to prod me out of my fanfiction funk. Would love to see @neurowriter14, @meles-merrivale, and @the-wig-is-a-metaphor's answers (if y'all want)!

new ask game: fuck/marry/kill but it's for your WIPs

fuck - the story you just want to read instead of having to write it yourself

marry - the story you're obsessed with writing and never want to stop working on or thinking about

kill - the story you're most frustrated with and would rather just put in the trash (or maybe just on a high shelf somewhere so you can forget about it for a really long time)

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

New Fic: Star Wars Platonic Soulmates AU

Back when I still had my intense writing mojo going (early 2023), I had been plotting out a month of soulmate fics. Unfortunately, between a promotion at work and my depression acting up, that idea got indefinitely shelved. Still, I'd decided on fandoms and pairings for around 25 of the 30 fics, and I'd started writing about 10 of them.

This platonic soulmates AU centered around Anakin Skywalker and Leia Organa (or, in this fic, Leia Naberrie-Skywalker) is one of those 10 that actually had a semi-coherent draft. So since I've been trying to get back into the habit of writing, I dusted this one off and finished it up.

Anakin is one of those characters that I loved reading about but have always been wary of writing the POV for fear of getting it wrong, so this was an exercise in getting tf over that or at least giving it a go anyway.

twin flames or suns or other things that burn is a 2.5k complete oneshot featuring Anakin Skywalker's non-linear contemplation of his relationships with the people he cares about most and how being soulmated to his daughter has changed his perspective of himself.

twin flames or suns or other things that burn

Star Wars, G, Gen, alternate universe - soulmates, platonic soulmates, introspection.

They are like the twin suns of the planet he hates, Anakin and his daughter. Because that is him and Leia, twin flames, two beings burning brighter than the surfaces of all the suns in the galaxy combined. Their heat is not the gentle, life-giving warmth of his wife or his son. No, theirs is a blinding, suffocating blaze that could snuff out all sentience and sapience in its beautiful destruction.

New Fic: She impatient and I'm complacent (honey)

Finally got around to posting the 2nd chapter of my Hermione/Lavender soulmates fic, so thought I'd also get around to making a tumblr post about it.

She's impatient and I'm complacent (honey) is a 5k complete twoshot featuring, you guessed it, soulmates. This was my first go at writing f/f, and I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out.

She's impatient and I'm complacent (honey)

Harry Potter, M, f/f, Hermione Granger/Lavender Brown, alternate universe - soulmates, soulmate-identifying marks, divination practices.

It’s been four years and Lavender has known every day since then that if nothing changes, then she and her soulmate will never be for each other. How could they be, when Hermione feels nothing but disdain for everything Lavender holds dear.

Had a ton of fun trying to write something unlike anything else that could be used to identify me. Had significantly less fun trying to format footnotes in html. Ya win some, ya lose most (only guessed 1 fic correctly, and that was my own 🙃)

At least half of the looks were envious, understandably. Kenma got it. His soulmate was likely going to recognize who Kenma was to them immediately, whereas most every other person in the country wasn’t going to recognize a particular shade of dark brown or black.

The other half of the gazes were confused, and Kenma got that too, because who the fuck had hair the color of a goddamn tangerine?

On your fifth birthday, your hair changes color to the exact shade of your soulmate’s natural hair. For most people, finding your soulmate can be impossible, but when Kozume Kenma looks in the mirror everyday and sees bright orange hair, he thinks it’s impossible for his soulmate not to find him.

Personal Quanzhi Gaoshou Fic Rec List

This is Part Three. To be honest, I found a considerable number of stories Marked for Later in my ao3 history that I had nearly forgotten about—thus this list was hurriedly put together. Part One and Part Two were much more well-planned and intentional.

1. Speak of the Devil With the opening of the tenth server, Lord Grim appears in the game with all the ability and experiences of the unseen God of Glory. He has the skill, he knows all the pros, he can give his side of every story anyone’s ever told about him, so—why are all the pros so sure he doesn’t exist?

2. Vivification An object that carries sentiment carries a spirit. A spirit with all the sentience necessary to hold its own emotions and opinions. Ye Xiu leaves Excellent Era the night before the tenth anniversary of Glory’s launch—the tenth anniversary of the day One Autumn Leaf was given a name that quickly gained a life of its own.

3. A Time Without Glory Sun Xiang wakes up in the past. Things go differently.

4. This Father Means Business Wei Chen takes his self-given ‘this father’ title seriously, and he’s been working on himself since leaving all his kids like that was, well, shitty. It’s still a work in progress, but for all that reaching back out to any of them is still tied up with his own shame, grief, and self-loathing, Wei Chen can’t just sit at home after watching the utter travesty that was Season 5.

5. Destiny's Favorite Child Someone who always wins, when they don’t have the skill or temperament for it—what would it take? How many times, to get it right? Could that ever be called a blessing?

6. Customer Support, Tenth Server, Glory v.1.10.8475463 A collection of tickets submitted to Glory Customer Support, Tenth Server. Because a completely bug-free game is unrealistic.

7. Unqualified Assistance No one has ever doubted the identity of the “team reporter’s assistant” following Excellent Era around to their games, but he sure takes slacking to a new level. How does he get so many exclusive interviews and never publish anything?! Ye Xiu would like to protest that he has, in fact, listened to their advice and published many articles. They’re just all Glory guides.

8. An Interlude Between Past and Future Ye Xiu may have retired from the Pro League, but that doesn't mean he's completely let go of Glory. Apart from his active role in cultivating the China Glory Team, sightings of him in Hangzhou have become dime-a-dozen. In fact, now that he's finally an "ordinary citizen", he seems to be making up for all his years as a mysterious recluse of a celebrity.

9. Never A Single-Player Game "What's your damn problem with me?" Tang Hao bites out, finally snapping after almost a week of Fang Rui ignoring him like the plague. "What's my problem with you, huh?" Fang Rui asks, almost blithe. "Why don't you take a close look at the account that you play on, then come back and ask that again."

10. Consider the Counterfactual “That person from Tiny Herb is here to negotiate some sort of transaction. It’s probably… about Qiu Fei’s transfer?” No one buys Team Excellent Era. Qiu Fei goes to Tiny Herb.

11. Breathe There will come a time where you see your past self in someone else. At that time, it will fall to you on whether you are willing to guide them to a better future, or let the cycle continue. No matter what, it is your choice, and you should follow your heart on it.

12. Spinning Wheel Four beds Su Mucheng slept in during her last year at Excellent Era.

13. Suspect “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” - Arthur Conan Doyle

14. The Pitfalls of Believing Gossip Everyone who meets Ye Qiu past 15 years old starts off thinking he still has an imaginary friend. Then they find out he used to always have his twin brother with him. Unfortunately, no one has enough courage to actually ask Ye Qiu about it.

15. 5 Members of Ye Xiu’s Mysterious Family that Team China Meet in Zurich (+1 Not Exactly Mysterious Person) In the ten years of the Glory Pro Alliance, no one has ever even heard anything about Ye Xiu's family, much less meet any of them. For some reason though, they all seem to crawl out of the woodwork in Zurich.

16. Penguin Day Out Ye Xiu’s day out with his niece takes a surprise turn.

17. no one knows what's happening (spoiler: zhouye is canon.) “Hey,” Huang Shaotian lowered his voice in a stage whisper, “Don’t you think Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai have been awfully chummy lately?”

18. [zhou zekai's face of innocence.jpg] In which Zhang Xinjie gets a Berserker, Wang Jiexi gets a headache, and Ye Xiu gets fifty thousand yuan. Also, Zhou Zekai is the Unrivaled Super Hottie.

19. glory returns [once again] As part of the preparations for World's, Ye Xiu sets up a training match between Team China and Team Happy.

20. measure your life in love All the other pros often asked Su Mucheng why she’d never tried to get Ye Xiu to buy a phone. Su Mucheng had always just responded by smiling sweetly and saying some variation of “I don’t use my powers for evil”, and generally that was enough to make people back away.

21. all along in plain sight "First of all, we're not even friends," Xu Boyuan said. "He just shows up and torments me sometimes." “He shows up and torments you with free guides through a hundred-player dungeon,” Bound Boat said flatly. "Where do I sign up for this kind of torment?"

22. write on the wall His first thirty or so minutes at Happy Internet Café, Fang Rui felt like an explorer in foreign land, observing the customs of a strange people.

23. blood is thicker than water The Ye twins were allergic to talking about their honest emotions, but somehow they still brought out the best in each other anyway.

24. unrestrained summer fun You can lead the pro player to summer camp, but you can’t make him stop swearing in front of the cameras.

Quanzhi Gaoshou 3 when? The King's Avatar Season 2 when?

[theladygia]

i think about where george lucas had planned to take star wars more than i should, but particularly because i am fascinated by the original idea of vader going to luke himself and asking for help atoning, which was cut and condensed into ROTJ for time constraints. and i want to write it. i really do. but the unfortunate thing is that i was of the generation of kids who watched avatar: the last airbender growing up, and all i can think about is vader testing his fucking opening lines like zuko does. the concept of HEY, LORD VADER HERE is irresistably funny
