Super excited for the new Yuuji files update it's such a good fic I can't wait to learn more about the death god! I love the way you write Sukita it's just so good their dynamic is delightful. Like in lessons when Sukuna gets all embarrassed when Yuuji is sweet to him so he lashes out a bit but Yuuji just takes it in stride, top tier ok. Or in Yuuji files when Sukuna asks if him being all clingy bothers Yuuji meanwhile Yuuji was legit worried about him just because he didn't try to entice him into showering together like what a relationship I love it. You're definitely my favorite Sukita author it's just so enjoyable to see those two growing together into a relationship that wouldn't make sense to most people but is just perfect for them. It never feels like a generic romance it always feels like they're building something unique that only they could have. I always feel bad for your Sukuna when he thinks he could only be happy with Yuuji because that's not a great mindset to be in and I think he could be happy with something else... but I don't think he could be happy the way he is with Yuuji if that makes sense. Whatever they have is beautiful and strange and so much their own no other person could fill that relationship spot. I also love how in the Yuuji files it feels to me like Yuuji loved Sukuna first and loves him best but he's not the only one that loves him. Like because Yuuji gave him a chance and brought him into his heart and saw him as a person all these other people are able to do the same. Now Sukuna has friends like Choso and is closer to Uraume and has two children who adore him. He's even making friends with sorcerers like Nanami. It's so great. One person saw him as human, and now he's got this growing community that he belongs in. Imagine loving one person and suddenly gaining access to a whole world of human connection that was previously completely out of your reach. Sukuna helps Yuuji grow so much too, like in cannon Yuuji is giving too much and denying his own humanity for the greater good and letting himself be used as a tool but Sukuna can teach him not to do that. He can show Yuuji when and where to draw the line. They're opposite ends of the same spectrum and both go too far and suffer for it, but together, they can pull each other towards the center and find balance it's great. I just love a relationship where they both make each other better and you do such a good job of writing that while still keeping them so flawed and human that they feel like themselves and it's beautiful but it never feels too sappy sweet. Thanks for writing and sharing with us!!

Thank you so much for the kind words <3 I like to always keep a character's flaws in tact as is it is the spice that makes the character interesting to write about! Very important when writing Sukuna as he is how he is c:

It is less "I can fix him" with Sukuna and more "I can give this bastard enrichment" as I feel he needs to be properly entertained to be at ease and Yuuji and him have a lot of chemistry there! (in my headcanons at least lol)

Yuuji Files has been a wild ride with that relationship as it is very much everyone else starting to get use to and love Sukuna in their own ways and him not really understanding a lick of it, it leads to some nice fluff across the board. I really love how you see the relationships as it means I did my job in writing them well! <3

#Maca answers asks #thank you for the kind words! <3 #I love writing these two so much...

self knowledge (traits) questionairre

RATIONALITY

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

SENSITIVITY

You have delicate, sensitive perceptions; you can be deeply moved by appearances — the right light in a room, or good food, or the texture of a piece of clothing. Expressive, intelligent language has a powerful hold on you; your mind works better when inspired and provoked by vivid imagery. It can be sad to live in a world which is often so ugly and not properly looked after. But you know that things can be otherwise, and you have the ability to appreciate the world at its best.

RESILIENCE

You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action — overcoming weaknesses, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, your insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.

MY FRIENDS AND I ARE CHAOS INCARNATE AND THIS HAS BEEN RATTLING AROUND MY BRAIN FOR WEEKS

So my friends and are all chaotic and nerdy, and a couple of us are huge trekkies (much to our other friend and my roommate's irritation) and this happened the other day

In Voyager the vaguely hinted at EMH and Seven being a thing for a minute there. I personally headcanon Seven as aro/ace but that's not the point of this we were talking about how neither of us like C/7 and if we had to ship Seven with anybody it would be the Doctor. Which led to Seven wanting even more humanity and through a couple of different options decides that a child is the way to do that we said by talking to Samantha Wildman that she decides this and then comes to the conclusion that the Doctor would be the ideal candidate to be the father/her co-parent. And she just tells him this while they're eating one day just "I want a child, and I have determined you to be the idea partner in this endeavor" and the Doctor just spews holographic food across the table "WHAT" and after some convincing he gets on board.

Now before you come for me with the EMH is a hologram he doesn't have DNA he can't be the father we figured this out too. Ideally this extra season we added takes place after Janeway and Seven stop butting heads as much and start getting along but before Icheb. So we have a couple of situations:

a) The Doctor has already gone and helped cure Zimmerman and thus has access to his DNA profile

b) The human genome has been completely sequenced as of May of this year (2021) so going off this ZImmerman's DNA is on file with Starfleet and they can get it

c) Seven takes a basic human genome and plays with it in the holodeck to create a version that looks just like Zimmerman/the Doctor

We prefer some combination of a and c or b and c because it sets up for what comes next. While Seven is working on the genome she's spending a lot of time in the holodeck and eventually has to ask Chakotay for more/Chakotay gets curious about it. Assuming she asks for more and gets turned down she just takes more time and Chakotay comes to figure out what she's doing/chastise her for stealing time and sees Seven standing there with a model of the Doctor and the human genome stretched across the room and just walks out. A few weeks later he decides he definitely has to ask about it and finds Seven in her alcove. Now during this time Seven has been modifying a replicator to create a zygote or the doctor's DNA or whatever she needs and modifying an alcove to grow a baby. Please remember the Doctor is in on this and thus can help with any medicine. So Chakotay walks in and sees Seven messing with the modified alcove and a fetus growing in it and promptly passes out. Seven sees this and takes him to the med bay and when he wakes up he's very confused and then realises what he saw and hits the com and goes "CAPTAIN JANEWAY TO THE MED BAY KATHRYN NOW SEVEN HAS DONE SOMETHING KATHRYN!!"

And Janeway comes running in to discover a very distraught Chakotay rambling about Seven and a baby and just becomes very confused and concerned for him. Until Seven walks in with a toddler on her hip because after extensive conversation"s she and the doctor decided that an infant would not be the best way to go about this. And Chakotay just points and goes "SEVEN BABY" a la Rachel at the beginning of season 2 of Friends. Janeway sees this and goes "Seven WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?" "The Doctor and I procreated this is our child" "WHA-? HOW? Don't MOve!" And then she walks out hitting her com going "NELIX I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME ALIEN WHISKEY SOMEWHERE I NEED IT AND COFFEE" she comes back with a cup of coffee that's mostly whiskey and goes "EXPLAIN!"

So Seven explains which is punctuated with several long sighs from Janeway and long swigs of her coffee. then at the end of this story Janeway sighs and chugs all that's left of her coffee and goes "Seven you can't just create a child without telling me first" "If any other crewmen chose to procreate would they need permission?" "No" "Then why do we?" "BECAUSE YOU STOLE GENETIC INFORMATION!!" But by then its too late the child exists and they fix up quarters for Seven and the child and the doctor. and then when they get in contact with Starfleet Janeway has to explain all of this. And then there's a whole legal battle about who the father is the doctor or Zimmerman and holographic rights and then Data gets wind of it and it leads to android rights arguments.

but my favorite image may be Dr. McCoy hearing about it and instantly calling up Spock and going "Did you have anything to do with this you green blooded menace??" because he blames Spock for anything he deems horribly unnatural.

and how odd that child would be the logic from seven the doctor provides culture and some humanness but he's still very logical and the only parental advice they would have is from Tuvok. I firmly believe that this child would be parented by Seven and the Doctor but also by the entirety of the Voyager crew. Nelix would have no idea what to do with them. Naomi would want to play and be faced with logic. So yeah thats what's be living in my head rent free.

May I ask for 11, 14, 22 and 28 for Benoit Blanc if you don’t mind?

Certainly! Stuff below the cut!

Disclaimer: I personally headcanon Benoit’s s/o as being somewhere on the spectrum. I know not everyone identifies with this so I’ll also be including snippets of otherwise when I deem it necessary for accessibility. Happy reading!

11. What do they hide from one another?: Benoit isn’t really secretive about himself. He may avoid being upfront about his intentions (most often with regards to a case), but even then he tends to come out with the truth eventually, and with such a sense of calm that it’s more like he simply went along with peoples’ assumptions of him. But when you two start seeing each other more seriously, he does feel a tiny bit embarrassed of the fact that he may not be as up to date on all manners of slang, pop culture, etc as he would like to be. It’s not a hidden thing, really; it was a given there would be a bit of a gap there, what with the slight age difference going on. But he’s supposed to be one of the greatest detectives out there, isn’t he? He may not take the title seriously but he surely has some vagueness of an image to uphold, right? He has to have tabs on everything. Besides, deep down, he wants to seem impressive to you. Like I said, it’s not so much hidden . . . but the tab to Urban Dictionary sort of is. You hadn’t even meant to find it, you just needed to use his laptop for a quick moment when -- “. . . Ben? What, uh . . . what’s up with --. . . Why do you need to know what ‘guap’ is?” “It’s for a case, darlin’!” He has since become a little less afraid of asking you what certain terms mean. You, on the other hand, aren’t exactly as candid as your other half . . . (Spectrum Option) You weren’t exactly sure what possessed you enough to think you could skirt by without him noticing. The man was a detective after all; surely he would’ve noticed at some point that there were some things . . . amiss about you. Sure, he could chalk up your difficulty holding eye contact to shyness; everyone used fidgeting devices now, so that you had quite a few on your desk as well as on your person wasn’t anything spectacular. But surely he noticed that whenever things got too loud or rowdy at the station you disappeared; that you seemed to get particularly upset when your system was thrown off; how certain textures were enough to completely rattle you; that you had a speech pattern that could, in a word, be described as . . . “unique.” Besides that, you knew it was silly to hide the fact that you were autistic: It was nothing to be ashamed of! It was simply how your mind worked and you were doing the best you could with it. And you wanted to say you were doing pretty well in most regards, but past social experiences had a way of convincing you otherwise. Particularly in the romance department. Potential date mates would get thrown off by your seemingly stony expression or occasionally flattened tones; they didn’t always find themselves impressed by your preference of going slow; sometimes your methods of stimming threw them off; and that was if they could even get you to stop being so anxious about certain social interactions. You knew deep down that Benoit wouldn’t be like that; he was far too kind to. But also, what if?! Eventually, before the courting got too, too serious, you felt it would just be better to be honest and open with him about it. You owed yourself that much. Thankfully, you never really needed to know what the “what-if” could be, as it turned out that you were right: Benoit already kind of knew you were somewhere on the spectrum after his first few interactions with you. Having more intimate encounters during your courtship honestly all but confirmed it. This isn’t his first, fifth, or even tenth rodeo wherein he’s encountered and befriended someone who’s neurodivergent, after all. He understands to a point why you wouldn’t necessarily jump to telling him, however, though he’s glad you felt comfortable enough with him to confide that. (Non-Spectrum Option) Honestly, it’s hard to hide anything from the last of the Gentleman Sleuths. He’s so perceptive that even if it meant hiding snacks from him, you’d eventually come back to your desk to find him eating your stash of Craisins. The one thing you have managed to keep a secret, though? Your old fanfiction identity. In your teens, you were scribbling down fics anywhere you could get them: Fanfiction.net, Quizilla, Blogspot . . . On one hand, you thank the experience for giving you practice with proper writing skills, which is part of what earned you the job you have. But on the other . . . they just weren’t the greatest showcase of who you were, young or not. And Benoit does not need to know about the shipping wars you started on accident. Thankfully, Quizilla is gone and nobody really uses Blogspot anymore . . . But sometimes he asks you if you’d ever read or watched books and movies you just so happened to specialize in, or what your thoughts were, and you can’t help but wonder if that blond bastard is on to you.

14. When one has a cold, what does the other do?: The moment you appear to be under the weather, Benoit’s already activating Mother Hen Mode. He summons the Mama Blanc in him and already has you laying down in bed or propped up on the couch with some quiet music playing or a court procedural drama playing while he’s in the kitchen making homemade chicken soup. If you put up a struggle eating or are too tired to feed yourself, he’s not above feeding you. He’s going to make sure that you eat at least enough to be able to take half a zinc tablet without getting sick, and make sure you drink plenty of water and vitamin C. And God help you if you think you can just do work from home because even if you’re not experiencing the worst cold, he’s not convinced you should be up and about instead of resting. At most, he’ll let you sit on the couch instead of staying cooped up in your room all day. He’ll even join you, often times sitting next to you and reading through files he brought home from his own casework. He doesn’t really mind the close contact in spite of your protests. Which is annoying because when he inevitably catches your cold, he’s more fussy than you are. Not in the man flu fashion, but he’s a lot more stubborn about resting. He knows it’s what’s best, but he’s so used to handling himself over the years that he’s gotten into the habit of doing as much work as he can before dropping, with self-care just happening to take place between his illness naps. You have to actually scold him and hide his files for a bit until he eventually falls asleep thanks to his exhaustion and the medicine you make sure he takes. Because of this, you’re more task-oriented when Benoit is sick. Certainly, you make sure that he’s eating the proper things and taking the right vitamins and medication and getting enough rest, but between all that you’re also making sure that he has less to worry about. You quietly clean around the house, you do the laundry, you run as many errands for him as you can (groceries, dry cleaning, etc), you even meal prep. That way when he gets better, he’s better in a cleaner house with next to nothing to worry about besides the paperwork he’d had taken away from him earlier. As much of a fight as he puts up at first, he truly does appreciate your generosity and kindness. He’d kiss you if it weren’t for the fact that he’s still a bit sniffily.

22. Where does their first kiss happen?: In the filing room. Sexy, right? You were technically still courting at this point but it was undoubtedly clear that things were getting serious. Nobody said anything about it, though. After all, was now, in the middle of a potential scandal, really the best time to talk about going steady? Probably not. Though you’d be lying if you said the thought didn’t buzz around in your head all day and all night. You had to be professional about this. Just as Benoit is, you reminded yourself as you watch him reading through the files you’d given him moments earlier. His brow furrowed before slapping the manila folder shut. “Well, that’s a crock of shit,” he muttered. “Hm?” you questioned, perking up. Maybe he needed input? He certainly seemed to be seeking yours more often as of late. You tried not to shiver when he focused those icy blue eyes of his on you. “This doesn’t make any sense,” Benoit explained, giving the file in his hand a gentle flap. “Carters doesn’t even have a history of violence; I sincerely doubt he suddenly became overwhelmed with the temptation to attempt fratricide all over some rather tacky jewelry. Which therefore begs the question. . .” He paused dramatically. “What do you suppose would cause a man to jump from petty theft in high school to murder in his mid-thirties?” You shrugged. “Bad friends,” you half-joked. It gave Benoit further pause. “. . . What ever happened to that accomplice of his? From the petty theft?” he questioned. Obviously, you didn’t have the answers; but the department filing room most likely did. Somewhere amongst the many boxes and cabinets, lined up in crammed and musty-smelling aisles, lay the answer. And, to your dismay, it appeared to be on a shelf a little higher than you were tall, serving as a load-bearing wall against other boxes of files. You grimaced as you arched your feet once more, attempting yet another lurch forward to reach. You weren’t sure who let this section of the filing room get this bad but whoever it was (you were sure it was Debbie; it was probably freaking Debbie), you were going to wring their neck. “(Y/N), really, I insist --” Benoit began, but you were quick to cut him off. “No, no, Mr. Blanc,” you insisted. “I got this.” You couldn’t see him press his lips into a thin line. “You know, it’s perfectly fine to call me by my name,” he said. “Mhm,” you grunted. “’M just . . .keeping it professional.” Dammit! Your fingers had just brushed the edge! Just a bit more -- “This isn’t a situation for HR, I technically don’t really work here,” you heard him chuckle. “And anyway, stop being so stubborn, and let me help.” “It’s fine!” Really, it was: You managed to nudge the box closer. “(Y/N), be reasonable.” You suddenly felt warmth against your back. Oh. Oh, God. He was pressing up against you as he leaned forward. You felt your cheeks burn at the stimuli. With far more ease, he nudged the box close enough to the edge to where it could easily fall into your waiting hands. Unfortunately, any relief was short-lived: Truly, the box was load-bearing. You yelped as the threat of musty cardboard and decades worth of paperwork threatened to fall on you . . . only for it not to actually be carried out. You glanced upward to find Benoit, once again, leaning forward. Just enough to shove the materials further on the shelf. You hear him huff and chuckle. “See? I bet you’re real happy now that I came along, aren’t you?” You turned just enough to glare at him. It didn’t last: Nobody can really find themselves glaring at Benoit Blanc for long whenever he had a smile on his face. At the very least, you couldn’t. He had that effect on you and you wanted to despise it so dearly, at the very least now you did. But you just couldn’t. Nor could you bring yourself to turn your face away as you noticed him leaning in closer. You had to be honest: You never took Benoit for the sort of man capable of performing such a strong liplock. Strong, warm, yet sweet and enticing -- “BLANC!” The sudden cry was more than enough to make you part. There, in the threshold, stood your less than amused superior, arms crossed and glowering. “Do you really think that this is the place to be making out?” Lt. Elliot demanded. You whimpered, hiding your blushing face behind the box still in your arms. He didn’t wait for a response. Instead, he scoffed and stormed off, feeling his point had been made. As you began your walk of shame out of the room, you hissed at your newly acquired boyfriend, “This is why I wanted to keep things professional!” To your dismay (and deeply hidden amusement), however, Benoit appeared to be unfazed. If anything, he seemed quite pleased with himself. He chuckled as he placed an arm about your lower back. “Oh, admit it: You didn’t mind being a little unprofessional.” He didn’t need to use his smarts to deduce that, and you hated that.

28. Why do they get jealous?: Benoit rarely gets jealous. He trusts you enough, and he trusts the bond you two share a great deal. But on the rare occasion he exhibits what would be called jealousy, it’s usually because of one of two things: Either A) someone manages to best him at wits or glamor and it appears to impress you, or B) someone younger (and hungrier) than he approaches you. The reasons why these are rare occasions, though, are simple. For the first bit, Benoit is mighty smart. He won’t go as far as to consider himself a downright genius, but he’s aware enough to know that his mind thinks a bit more broadly and rapidly than the average person’s. Sometimes, though, the lifestyle he runs brings him to circles where he must interact with great minds. And sometimes, as you are often his companion for certain circumstances, you may meet, say, an Ivy League alumnus who isn’t afraid to kiss you on the hand as a greeting or give you a grand tour of their vast estate while Benoit has to hold interviews. And as for the second bit, Benoit knows and accepts he’s no spring chicken. He also knows he may not be fast and furious in terms of romance, and some younger folk may find that tedious. The worst case is if that Yale graduate with the big fancy mansion is also around your age. But he also knows you. In the end, any insecurities he might have about his lifestyle or age are squashed because he knows you’re not the sort to just grab onto anyone just because they’re rich, shiny, and new. You’re honest and know what you do and don’t want, and he also knows that even if you’re having internal battles with your thoughts and feelings, you eventually come out with them. That’s how he knows you thought that one heir to the Havington Spa empire was a bit of a pompous douchebag, or why you were bored listening to that one poet who many saw as a prospective Nobel Prize winnter. You try not to get jealous yourself. Maybe you put him on a pedestal, but you certainly see a lot of value and endearment in the likes of Benoit: He’s smart, handsome, understanding, kind . . . Maybe a bit ambitious and odd, but nothing too terrible. He was, without a doubt, one of your favorite people to be around. But sometimes, you worried if he could potentially be another’s favorite as well. There had been the occasional case where his gentleman charm appealed to a woman involved, usually suspects but occasionally they were just vaguely related the the situation and decided to throw their two cents in, if only to have more of a chance to be around Benoit. You couldn’t tell if maybe you were reading too into it, or if Benoit was ignoring them or even flat out oblivious to their efforts, but come on: There’s only so much ignoring a man can do when a lady has her bust pressed up against his arm! But what really drove you nuts was whenever she’d initiate banter with him. One of the best ways to the detective’s heart was wit. And sometimes, to your dismay, these cases would include women who could make hogwash sound like Shakespeare. And that they made it look so easy drove you insane! But luckily, that was about as far as the women would get: The best way to Benoit’s heart was embracing the unusual, which was startling against the backdrop of a prim and proper gentleman they assumed him to be. They’d quirk a brow when he found himself making odd little rhymes, stand by awkwardly as he monologued to himself, and assume he was joking whenever they came upon him singing showtunes or making references to musicals. You, however, responded accordingly: You’d echo his limericks to feel them for yourself, listen and take notes of his allegories so you could contribute your own thoughts, and joined in on whatever song he brought up. In the end, you needn’t really be jealous because he’s already made up his mind: You’re his favorite person. And there isn’t a pair of doe eyes and a thesaurus mouth that’s going to change it. But still: You’d rather not take that risk!

I got carried away in some areas I think . . . But hopefully it turned out okay!

For the fandom ask meme thing can I request the whole damn alphabet or is that not very cash money of me? I’m nosy lmao I wanna know all of them!

AHDKAJSDKJAHSKDA JACK YOU’RE THE BEST

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

I’ve had my current OTP for like almost 8 years and it’s, obviously, Thoschei (Doctor/Master). My other current obsession is the Gallifrey OT4 hehehe

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

It’s funny because I didn’t ship Hannigram at first... I’d thought the idea of a cannibal having a relationship was terrifying because what if they had sex and Hannibal got hungry in the middle of the act? Lmaoooo

But yeah they’re my endgame now. I watched the show when it first aired and I was about 14/15 years old so now you see why I thought that. Although I’m still afraid I’m gonna be reading a fic and Hannibal will suddendly bite Will’s dick off or smth AKJHSAKJSAHSASKAJ

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Uhhh Doctor/Clara. Mainly because I don’t like to ship the Doctor with companions (there may be one or two exceptions but I don’t ship them enough to actually say I ship them lol) and I don’t know I just never vibed with it

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

Doctor/River. I mean, I did like it for a while years ago but now it’s just... eh. I think she has a waaay better chemistry with the 12th Doctor, but still don’t ship it. I might give it a try once I listen to the River audios but so far meh. I’m not much of a multishipper anyway.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

God. I’ve written a couple of Academy Era (focused on the Deca) crack fanfics and I still have to translate them to English. They’re pure garbage but I love them. I have a lot of fun writing crack fics because they’re easier and I can ignore whatever piece of canon I want just for the laughs

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Guess it’s Doctor Who, been here (in and out of the fandom) for over 8/9 years

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Uhhhh I think it was Han Solo and Leia, since I was a kid really. I wanted to marry both of them lol

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)

I had to google what a source text is and still don’t know

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

I don’t think so, but Twitter definitively has. I remember a couple years ago I was curious to see what voltron was about and watched a few episodes, it was ok, fun and cute but the fandom was so annoying I stopped watching it for good and don’t care about it enough to pick it up again

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

I had definitively forgotten about supernatural until I saw it all over my dashboard in the year of our lord 2020 lmao like in my wholock days I tried to watch the show because everyone on my dash (is it still called dashboard?) was talking about it and I watched about 8 episodes before dropping it. But seeing it again on the dash was actually a happy surprise because the memes are too funny hahaha

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

I’m extremely shy irl and on the internet as well but I wanna say that @janeturenne is one of the best authors ever and her fanfics are a blessing in my life; also @thebraxiatelcollection who brings awesome content to my dash and is also one of the best authors. And of course, you, Jack, also one of the best authors god I’m so BLESSED

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

Uhhh I guess I’m neutral about the current companions. They’re not my favorites but I don’t really dislike them - they had a lot of potential and chibs came up with some good storylines but did not develop them well in my opinion. I think Graham is a fun grandpa whom I’m going to miss when he leaves; Ryan is cool and could’ve done a lot more if the writers had kept a few things, it’d be awesome if he vlogged all of their adventures. He’s like the one I was curious to see more but sadly didn’t feel a connection; and Yaz, I hope she’ll keep growing and that her friendship with the Doctor will finally be developed to a level we can connect to her.

It sounds weird because with the fam it’s always ‘what I wish could have been’ because I never felt really connected to them :(

M - Say something genuinely nice about a ship that you don’t ship (or its shippers, or anything related to you)

Ok... I don’t really ship Rey/Finn but I think it’s one of the sweetest ships ever, and if they ended up together I’d be happy. They love each other and are there for each other always so, yeah :D

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

I don’t know if I got the question right but it’s three things I wish I saw more in my main fandom? Well, if it’s that, then, 3 things about the Doctor Who fandom: 1) people having more civilized or light-hearted discussions about things. Like, I genuinely disliked an 8th doctor audio I listened once that my friends loved, and they made fun of me and we joked about it. Also once we were in a live twitch video playing among us and discussing doctor who, and then we got into a ship “discourse” as a joke and nobody really cared and just laughed because everyone knew it’s fictional shit so why get mad over it? 2) Doctor Who has a titanic amount of content, it’s all canon but at the same time it’s not, so who cares? If you want to listen to Big Finish audios and if you can afford it, then lisiten; if you can’t, it’s okay, no one has the right to tell you you’re less of a fan. Just tell them to fuck off; 3) The best way to keep fandom alive is by creating content. Here in my local fandom we have several podcasts dedicated to all areas of the whoniverse (the show, the expanded universe, the audios, etc), those old fandom websites who do serious work to bring news to the fans, people who make subtitles for the classic series (we don’t have it available here so they do their best to make it accessible to other fans), accounts dedicated to promoting dr who fans who create content, and we even have people making their own audiodramas with dw characters and writing book-lenght fanfiction to help explain the show to people who’ve never watched it, and a great variety of things. I’ve seen a few of these things in the international fandom, mostly by older fans, so I wish younger fans about my age who have the means to make this kind of stuff would make it too. Maybe there’d be less twitter drama out there lol

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

“the killing moon” by echo & the bunnymen reminds me of thoschei. yep it was totally random

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

The fact that we don’t have a pride and prejudice AU for brax/romana yet is driving me insane

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

I’ve mentioned it before but doctor/river, don’t really remember why idk I just don’t vibe with it anymore. But also because thoschei has so many different pairings in 1 ship that I don’t really feel the need to ship them with anyone else lol

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

GOD I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT’S SO SPECIFIC ok fellow academy era stans gather around if you have read Divided Loyalties there’s a scene where it SHOWS that Magnus had a crush on Ushas. And NO ONE HAS EVER TALKED ABOUT THEM and the power couple they would’ve made. I write them into all my fanfics in hopes of making other people ship them but I’ve had no success so far

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

The Master is a big fan of musicals and in the 77 years he spent on earth he watched every single one ever. I’m gonna be bold and say that when he was young, still Koschei, he was an artist, and thought about dropping everything to become an actor on Gallifrey. Time Lords do appreciate art, and have their own plays, but it’s just the same old and boring ones the young people don’t care about. The Master then created a shocking performance that was way ahead of its time and the older Time Lords were so appalled they banned him from writing and presenting plays and that’s his villain origin story

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

1) The Doctor and the Master married on Gallifrey and the entire show is just them having the most litigious divorce in the universe (still isn’t final because the Master has killed all the judges); 2) Ushas/The Rani is ace; 3) The Deca was a 10 people polyamorous relationship; 4) Romana and Livia were girlfriends at the Academy and they hate each other now because the break up was baad; 5) Romana writes fanfiction; 6) Romana/Leela had a thing in Davidia I KNOW it; 7) Leela pegs Narvin; 8) Brax has a life-size painting of Romana at his collection or a statue or smth; 9) Brax’s dream in Reborn is actually REAL and he’s married to Romana, Leela and Narvin all at the same time

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

I don’t even think I’m in 5 fandoms but

Doctor Who: The Master, The Doctor, Romana, Leela, Sarah Jane, Bill (this was the hardest thing ever)

The X-Files: Mulder, Scully, Monica, and can I add The Lone Gunmen too?

Star Wars: Leia, Obi-Wan, Finn, Poe Dameron and honorable mention to Din Djarin and Grogu

Hannibal: Hannibal, Will, Bev, Alana, Chiyoh

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

That’s hard

Doctor Who: thoschei ofc, gallifrey ot4.......... uuhh as you can see i don’t ship many pairings in the show

The X-Files: Mulder and Scully. And whatever Scully and Monica had going on because they definitively flirted

Star Wars: Poe/Finn, Han/Leia, whatever Han/Lando had going on too

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said ships

WHATVASHAJSKAJSA ok this is a little embarassing but I don’t have a lot of kinks for many ships... I guess I have some for thoschei like, choking, whipping, blindfolds/gagging, bondage, begging, biting, sem-public, phone sex, dirty talk, body worship, praise kink, etc. Alright alright I know it’s a lot but in my defense they've shown half of these on the show

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

The Master, Romana, Leela, Brax, Narvin, Bill Potts, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane, Donna Noble, Lucie Miller. No particular order for most of them but the Master is my precious baby and I will die for this mf

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Not many, usually the people I follow are in the same fandoms as I am but I’ve seen some mutuals reblog some Hadestown stuff which is a play that I’ve never seen but definitively would because the protagonists look hot

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

I DON’T KNOW WHAT DOES IT MEAN

it took me three hours to do this but it was fun!! thank you bb <3

Tag Game: Ship Version

tagged by @stackcats: (waves and calls across the void of Tumblr) helloooooo! thaaaank yooooou!

top 3 ships: I’m not in any fandom at the moment and I have suddenly forgotten every ship I ever shipped in my entire life…

Mulder and Scully, The X-Files: My OG ship, resulted in my first fanfic, my first fandom convention and my discovery of the hurt/comfort genre. (I helped organize that first convention in St. Louis and the hotel staff were very, VERY concerned over the “Mulder Torture” session we had scheduled but we were just a bunch of nerds sitting around a hotel room reading H/C fanfic aloud.)

The Doctor and their Companions, Doctor Who: I’ve been in the Doctor Who fandom for a long time, since the PBS public access days of the Fourth Doctor in the late 70s/early 80s, and my favorite part of canon/fanon is the relationship between the Doctor and their companions. I can’t choose only one pairing, though I am partial to a great big ol’ TARDIS family. I headcanon the Doctor as asexual so the romantic/sexual ships don’t do it for me, although if they did, it would be Nine/Rose. (Fun fact: the worst fanfic I ever wrote was one in which I tried to write smut and it read exactly like it was written by someone who had never read smut in her entire life. Awkward.)

Akiva Shtisel and Elisheva, no wait, maybe Libbe? IDK, someone, Shtisel: I’m not even going to call this a guilty pleasure because I don’t feel guilty in the least for enjoying Shtisel. All of the characters and storylines are brilliant though I did want to give Giti a good shake here and there. Disclaimer: I am not Haredim so I have no idea if I’m veering out of my lane by watching and loving this series but it’s my comfort show along with Midnight Diner and Samurai Gourmet.

last movie: Uhhh it was “Knives Out,” of which I watched maybe 15 minutes. As soon as I heard the word “regurgitative,” I levitated out of my seat and stayed in the lobby for the remainder of the film. Every once in a while I’d hear a heartfelt “ewwww” from the theater and knew I’d made the right choice. Emetophobia is fun.

lipstick or chapstick: Exfoliating scrub, Chapstick, colored lip balm and lip oil during the week when I have to show my face. Nothing but Chapstick on weekend days and lip masks on weekend nights. My lips are hella cute and it’s the one shred of vanity I am clinging to while the rest of me slides down the lumpy slope into my late 50s. Turkey neck and gray hair? Meh. Crepey lips? THE HORROR

last song: Oh dear, it was Pump Up the Jam because I found my old Wii Just Dance game and I’m having great fun with it. At least it wasn’t Wannabe.

reading: The Wanderers by Chuck Wendig. I’m about three chapters in and holy crap this book is well-written and terrifying.

watching: Nothing scripted. I received a 3-month subscription to The Great Courses for Christmas and I’ve been learning mental math (it is a BLAST), practicing Tai Chi, and appreciating sacred music. I have about six other courses on my watchlist.

totally spies or the powerpuff girls: I’m going to show my age here. I was 30 when the Powerpuff Girls came out and 33 with Totally Spies and I had to look that up because I wasn’t familiar with either show. Zack didn’t come along until I was 34.

Tagging the shippiest people I can think of off the top of my head: @veradune, @resting-meme-face, @this-lioness, @sparksearcher, @leaiorganas

#tag game #long post #sorry I ramble #stackcats #thanks for the tag #i love tag games #not going to tag any of my fandoms #not inviting controversy though these are some pretty tame opinions

Headcanon: Norman Jayden is a time traveler

Now I know what you’re thinking: oh come on, seriously? That’s preposterous, and I thought the same thing, until I really thought about it.

Let’s talk about ARI for a second.

This technology is highly advanced for the year 2011.

What is ARI?

The ARI (Added Reality Interface) is an experimental evidence detecting system in place by the FBI.

What does it do?

The ARI equipment consists of a pair of glasses and a singular, right-handed glove. The glasses, acting as an enhancement visor, are used to detect and record information from the environment whilst providing visual displays for the user. The glove allows the user to physically interact with ARI's interface and the environment.

It also allows the user to stream information via sensors in the glove, allowing research on things such as blood type, shoe-size and identifying scents in the air. It also seems that all gathered information is installed directly into ARI's internal memory which can be reviewed at any place or time; for example, ARI has instant access to the FBI database.

Whilst ARI's primary use is for crime scenes, it can also be used in other environments.

Exhibit A:

No one has heard of this technology. Hell, Carter Blake, even thinks that it’s just a pair of sunglasses.

Exhibit B: When Norman was throwing a ball against the wall in ARI, one of his coworkers thought he was crazy.

youtube

Exhibit C:

Why would the FBI send one of their own to help with a serial killer case?

Serial Killers are a common thing. Why do they care so much about this particular case?

Exhibit D:

No one has ever heard of Norman Jayden. If he’s such a “hotshot FBI man” then he must have a following. He doesn’t.

Exhibit E:

Triptocaine. Why aren’t more people addicted to this drug? Why is Norman Jayden the only person seen using it?

Exhibit F:

We know nothing about this character. For a guy that was supposedly born in 1977, there seems to be no trace of this guy.

Exhibit G:

Why is there no date written on this document? If he was dispatched, then surely there would have been a date written on this document.

Exhibit H:

"A dead cat. The FBI doesn't keep records of dead cats... not yet.”

I initially thought that this was a joke, but assuming that Norman is a time traveler, perhaps they keep files on dead cats in the future?

Exhibit I:

Norman’s insistence on solving this case. Why does he care so much? Was his son one of the victims? Did he fail to go through the trials?

If you look closely, Norman has a scar on his face.

Perhaps a result of one of the trials?

Or, what if he cares so much about this case, because there are more victims in the future?

Exhibit J:

Norman Jayden’s health problems.

Throughout the game, Norman is seen with several health problems.

We assume of course, that this is caused by both ARI, and the Triptocaine.

Time travel takes a huge toll on both the body, and mind. With Norman Jayden being so far in the past, time is trying to correct its self. Thus, Norman Jayden is suffering.

Exhibit K:

Norman Jayden’s endings.

Smoking Mirror

Norman is seen talking to an AI version of himself in ARI.

The screen cuts to Norman on the floor, presumably dying from an overdose.

The question is, an overdose on what? ARI, or Triptocaine?

Uploaded

Carter Blake puts on Norman’s glasses, and is shocked to find an AI of Norman in the glasses. He was also seen trying to figure out how the technology works.

Remember: no one has seen ARI before.

Case closed

Norman is seen talking to a talk show host. He is regarded as a hero. Surely this would the time to thank the FBI for ARI right? Well that didn’t happen.

He is later seen having a hallucination of virtual tanks.

Resignation

Norman is seen quitting his job at the FBI. He is told that he can keep his ARI since the technology is being decommissioned.

Why would technology that is presumably brand new, be decommissioned? I believe that Norman Jayden has returned to his timeline at this point.

Exhibit L:

Norman’s reaction to rain.

Norman is seen talking to some policemen.

“Does it always rain like this?”

“It always rains like this every fall. Why? Doesn’t it do that where you come from?”

“Yeah... of course.”

Why did Norman hesitate there? Does it not rain in the future?

We assume that Norman is from Washington, but we are never shown any of his contacts from Washington. Odd, right?

Personally, I think it’s a cover up.

Exhibit M:

His weird accent. Just what exactly is his accent?

Congratulations! Thank for writing those great stories. Can I request for Midcin King Byron. From NSFW alphabet prompt: a-b-c-f-k-o-s.

Title: NSFW Headcanons {Byron Wagner}

Fandom: Midnight Cinderella

Character: Byron Wagner

Genre: headcanons, smooty

Warnings: ;)

Kinks: a lot

Intended Gender Audience: Female Audience

Word Count: 685 words

POV: second person w/ (Y/n)

Other comments: hope you enjoy! It was fun writing for byron cause i havent delved too much into midsin i mean midcin >:) - i do have 3 image visuals for fav positions – the links attached to the words will take you to a png file of the position thats basically a solid color cartoon of how it would look?? no bits showing, just like, the leg goes here, put your hand there, do the hokey pokey xD

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

He would not talk much and would not be overly touchy, but do expect a few quick kisses as praise

This does not mean he doesn’t want to be intimate! Byron is just a bit more reserved post-sex

He will keep his arm around you and let you nuzzle against his chest until you go to sleep

If you have sex in the middle of the day/morning sex, he also won’t jump to go back to whatever else he has to do

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

tbh I could see Byron being a thigh guy

It would also be his favourite way to tease you – he would drag his gloved fingers over your skin, grazing the soft skin of the inside of your thighs

If Byron would leave a mark anywhere, he would do so on the inside of your thighs, close to your nethers – he has no need to make hickeys visible (like on the neck/collarbone) because everyone knows that you are his. Therefore, bruises on your thighs/back of your legs would be his own personal guilty pleasures

His favourite body part… okay maybe this doesn’t count, but he likes his voice – if he wants to tease you, he can use his super deep voice that drips from his lips like honey. He will talk to you gently, urging you to unravel for him… you better do it

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically)

Byron would not want to cum on your face/inside of your mouth, but he would not be opposed to releasing on your chest/back

He is not particularly a fan of seeing you with his seed on your face, but he would not be completely against it

However, internal cumshots would have to wait until after marriage or unless you are taking other measures to stay safe (he is a king after all)

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

I know it’s a cliche to say that they want to see your face, but Byron really would!! He might not be able to communicate his emotions with words very well, but he is very good at reading facial expressions

Because of this, his favourite positions would include basket, tulip, lotus (all easy access to your thighs as well), and good ol’ standard missionary

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Byron isn’t much one for kinks… he is not kink master, but he also is not pure vanilla

Would LOVE to see you wearing a garter, thigh high stockings, or a corset as part of your lingerie get up

roleplay??? If you wanted to play little maiden in the forest or something, he would not be opposed… he wouldn’t mind replaying how you met the first time… just dirtier

Not really a kink, but maybe, if you’ve been teasing him all day and he’s really horny, but you’re stuck in a carriage, he would insist that you help him out… if you know what i mean…

Enjoys “king”, “sir”, “my lord”, “your majesty” name calling (first time you did it by accident, it just slipped off of your tongue and he nearly came on the spot)

Isn’t the biggest dirty talk fan, but does enjoy a good praise session here and there

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

GIVER

Will hold you down by your legs while he teases you, fingers you, pushes you to your limits!

He might not be very experienced at the beginning of your relationship, but Byron is a quick learner and knows the best combinations to make you squirm/cum/edge

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

If Byron goes all out, he could last for a very long round (yes just a single one), but you will be more than satisfied with the experience

Maybe two rounds if he is really horny or stressed from working too hard (help him relax)

#midnight cinderella #byron wagner #more like midnight sinderella #cybird #otome #headcanons #;)

(Part the 1st)Now that you are in the Chapter 50-52 bubble, I wanted to share something. I've messaged you before about how your continuous comparisons of Rand and Egwene's arcs helped/caused me to see the depth and complexity of their relationship, and the way in which Egwene acts as Rand's counterweight in the series, providing the a balance to the Dragon Reborn in a series that is, at its heart, about how vitally important balance between forces is (at least within a strict binary system).

(Part the 2nd) In light of that I wanted to add that I had previously been a little dubious of your theory that Lew’s Theron’s voice in Rand’s head was actually a defensive construct and not necessarily Rand’s madness. It just felt like the writing was so clear that LTT’s voice was legit, and maybe it is on some level. But I was recently rereading earlier sections as part of another read along (it covers 1-2 chapters a week and is in the TSR, who will finish first? :P lmao). But I noticedin the lead-up to the battle outside of Cairhein against the Shaido, there are SEVERAL instances of Rand just suddenly *having* memories or knowledge from LTT… and at this stage there was no voice at all. The voice doesn’t appear until AFTER Rand nearly runs himself to exhaustion in that battle. And it’s presented so faux casually (as in, it’s a big deal and it’s pointed out, but within the context of us seeing the beginning of Rand experiencing the Taint. Much like the Joker’sline in The Dark Knight about people being ok as long as events are following “The Plan” even if The Plan is horrific. We are expecting to see Rand loosing it, so we don’t really over analyze it when it happens) if I had not been primed by reading your analysis from that perspective, I probably would have just KEPT reading and not noticed, so once again; thank you for this blog and for adding ever more depth and meat to this series for me!

Yeah, I do talk about this one a lot. I’m glad it works for you!

And in my defence, it’s because most of the time I’m trying to work out what’s going on, as new information comes in and things change. Because it’s definitely taken me a while to figure out what’s happening – and I could very well be wrong! This is one where I think there’s a whole lot of space for different reader interpretations, depending on what makes sense to you (and, honestly, on what feels more satisfying to you; I often feel like explanations of a character’s internal landscape or mentality or psychology work better when they’re left a bit open to interpretation).

Your description of it as a “theory that Lews Therin’s voice in Rand’s head was actually a defensive construct and not necessarily Rand’s madness. It just felt like the writing was so clear that LTT’s voice was legit, and maybe it is on some level” is interesting because I never really thought of it in those terms; this is partly no doubt because I’ve been trying to work it out as the story unfolds, but also because I think the very nature of the whole…situation in Rand’s head also changes as time goes on. But I suppose you’re right; that is sort of where I’ve eventually ended up.

That is to say, yes, I think at this point in time, what is portrayed as Lews Therin’s voice is not an accurate representation of Lews Therin Telamon as he was in life, and is more something Rand has – inadvertently and more or less subconsciously – created, as a way of dealing with something that probably absolutely no one is actually equipped to deal with.

But I think initially it was much closer to a manifestation of Lews Therin’s actual personality and thoughts, as they might have been if he were there to experience what Rand does. And in between then and now, we see a transition.

It’s something I definitely want to focus on more closely in a reread, because again, my own understanding and interpretation of what’s going on has changed so much as the story progresses, so I think it’ll be different looking at it from the perspective of having seen the whole thing.

That said, I see it as progressing something like this:

We start with not even a voice, but just occasional things Rand seems to know, or remember, or be able to do, that he has no business knowing in this lifetime. It’s like that barrier between lifetimes has been thinned and torn, and then things start to slip through. It’s hardly even noticeable at first.

Until it is, and we move into the beginning of an identity crisis, with Rand occasionally responding to Lews Therin’s name and not his own, or not even realising when he’s saying something that comes from Lews Therin’s lifetime/memories rather than his present one. Because he has all this extra stuff in his head, and right now it’s not compartmentalised at all, so he starts to get a bit lost in it, or inundated by it, and he doesn’t have a way of anchoring himself against it (because what is himself?)

Then it starts to become not just memories and thoughts, but an actual voice. Initially, like I said, I do think this is probably very close to how Lews Therin himself would have sounded; lines like ‘I would burn the world and use my soul for tinder to hear her laugh again’ certainly seem like something that would come from Lews Therin Telamon. But that’s part of the same extended scene where we get ‘for a moment, he could not remember his name’. This is the barrier actually starting to dissolve in places, and Rand is no longer ignorant of what’s happening but is terrified by it (and as a reader, I was as well! I’m a proponent of reunification now, but at the time? Yeah, watching your protagonist forget his own name seemed like a sign that All Is Not Well), and – crucially – has no real coping mechanisms for it yet.

That is, I think, where we start to see a transition from a clear distinction between Lews Therin Telamon and Rand al'Thor (perhaps ironically, as I think a lot of what happens next is because Rand’s afraid of losing himself). Rand asserts his own identity in TFoH (it’s a major part of the climactic battle, even), and in doing so he more consciously sets up this distinction between himself and Lews Therin.

Despite that, though, the barrier between lifetimes is eroding (this, I think, is the taint madness…I personally headcanon this as being the same for all saidin users, but people react to it differently and it manifests differently in each of them), so more of Lews Therin’s memories and knowledge and even personality are there, accessible, in Rand’s head.

So I read it as Rand…creating his own barrier, in place of the one that’s falling apart, in order to hold on to what he defines as himself. It’s a self-vs-other kind of divide he sets up…but this time he’s the one defining it, which means we see it manifest a little differently than the one the Pattern put there for good reason.

From about…oh, Lord of Chaos onwards, we get what I see as a gradual transition from Rand al'Thor 100% on one side of that barrier and Lews Therin Telamon 100% on the other side to…a barrier being there, but a mixing on either side of elements from each…personality? Lifetime?

Because Rand starts using the voice as a tool, as something he can point to and say ‘that is a madman; I am sane’, or as a source of knowledge, or as a touchstone of sorts, or as someone to bounce ideas off of, or – I think – something he can contrast himself with. Like a mirror he can look into, not to see what he is but to see what he is not (what he refuses to be).

And it’s this last one that’s crucial, because this is what I think causes a lot of the shift in the first place. Rand knows he is Lews Therin Telamon reborn. Rand knows what Lews Therin Telamon did. And above almost anything else, Rand is terrified of doing the same. So we see him deliberately setting anything that falls under ‘not myself’ or 'madness’ or 'killing everyone you love’ in contrast with himself; he uses it as a way to set some of those thresholds (that he later crosses), to set himself up as distinct from all the things he refuses to be. He needs to see them as separate entities in order to hold to a) his identity, b) his sanity, and c) his hope of…not a second chance, exactly, but of not repeating Lews Therin’s fate. His autonomy, I suppose.

But then we start to see that shift, as well, because now it’s no longer the actual barrier between lifetimes that seems to exist (and for good fucking reason) in everyone, if this is a world in which everyone is someone reborn but no one remembers their past lives; but is instead a replacement barrier. A barrier Rand has made for himself, in order to keep his identity and sanity and autonomy safe.

Because ultimately here’s the thing: Rand and Lews Therin aren’t separate, really. Rand is Lews Therin reborn, so it’s the same…person? Soul? Entity? Whatever you want to call it, but with two distinct lifetimes and thus sets of experiences. It’s just that the files have been corrupted and there’s this weird bleedthrough, so the separation isn’t working the way it should, and everything we see next is Rand trying to, essentially, figure out from this mess of two lifetimes who he is (and who he wants to be). Does that mean shutting one entire lifetime away? But what if some of it is useful? Maybe some of who he is now is anathema to him, given what he has to do, so maybe it’s better if that gets shut away. Maybe he should take some of that old knowledge, maybe he should recombine some things (maybe he should learn from his past, both successes and mistakes, so that he can take this as a true second chance). But to go from zero to just accepting the whole thing is uh…unrealistic at best, so instead we see Rand struggling with it, and the situation evolving as a result of that.

And yes, I think a lot of this comes from how everything is presented in the story, and how it unfolds, and how we’re primed to interpret it. It’s one of my favourite aspects of Rand’s character and arc, honestly, and is definitely something I intend to spend some more time on during a reread or post-series.

#I feel like Rand's mental state is one giant YMMV really #but this is what makes sense to me #agree or disagree; I'm glad it was thought-provoking!#and one day I'll make a more coherent/comprehensive post on my take #but for now we'll just work with what we have...#asks #tgriff82 #wheel of time #rand al'thor #lews therin telamon

I re-thought a question I recently answered and I want to make it less about what happened and more about actual writer-reader dynamics. 1. Have your beta readers sign an Non-Distribution Agreement (NDA). Have any friends that you share your full copy with sign one too. It doesn’t have to be complex. 2. Even though no one is allowed to publish your work without consent, it’s much less likely that someone who’s signed an NDA will try to do something like that. 3. If you fall out with someone, they hopefully have enough integrity not to spread your work around. Just because you gave them access to it without an NDA (if you did) doesn’t mean they have the right to distribute it. Natural copyright ensures that you can still make a claim. You can also ask them to sign a Cease and Desist (C&D) if necessary. 4. Protect your work. If you’re intending to publish for the first time, someone leaking your copy to the internet can harm your profits. No one’s going to buy a book they can get for free. This doesn’t mean filing a copyright--publishers and agents hate that because natural copyright exists for a reason. But it does mean taking steps to prevent your work from being copied. 5. There is a myth that you can never read fanfic because a fan could claim your idea is theirs and sue you for it. You can’t copyright ideas. This myth persists because of the Marion Zimmer Bradley case in which the author took a fan’s work and tried to publish it word for word. However: 6. I made the mistake of reading and encouraging fanfic of The Bestiary in the past, and now I’m in a situation where I can no longer use semi-major plot points in the story because I am no longer talking to the person wrote the fic. And while no one can sue me for this, and while I can prove it’s mine, social media is brutal when they think you’ve stolen something. It’s easier for me to just write it all out. So: I will no longer be reading fanfic of any kind. You can write it, but please don’t share it with me, and please don’t send me headcanons or ideas. You can still share fanart with me, as long as it doesn’t tell a story, so comics are a no-go.

TES Headcanon

Doctors and surgeons are looked down on.

Herbalists and alchemists? They’re great, you can find them on every street corner and they know exactly what herbs and potions you need, plus they’re cheap.

(Magical) healers? They’re trained extensively and can heal a wound with a wave of their hand.

... So what the fuck would you need a doctor for? Why would you want some random person who doesn’t even know healing magic to cut you open? They’re more expensive than herbalists and they take longer to treat you than a healer. Why would you want to spend weeks recovering from an injury when a healer can wave it away? Sure, healers used to be incredibly expensive so you had no choice but to use a doctor -- but with the creation of the mages’ guild and how accessible magical education has become, there’s been an explosion of healers and now doctors are becoming obsolete!

In reality, doctors (and surgeons, but let’s just keep it as “doctors” for now) know the body better than magical healers, who rely on their magic to know what to do and can’t do shit if they can’t get the magic to figure it out. A herbalist knows what medicine to give you, yes, but a doctor can tell you why it works and why you shouldn’t take it if you have another condition. And healers can’t do much if a C-section is required -- it’s always surgeons who cut open a mother, and while healers are often on stand by to heal the wound a surgeon can still stitch the mother up and have her survive the ordeal in a real emergency, even if it has a reduced survival rate. If a surgeon’s not on hand a healer will probably cut right through your intestines without any herbal anaesthetic and make the ordeal way more fucking traumatising, provided you live long enough for them to use a healing spell on you afterwards.

Plus if you’re running low on healers in a battlefield and they’re exhausted and out of magicka, guess who they come crying to? When healing magic doesn’t work because of curses or poisons, guess who’s suddenly useful? Who’s dissecting bodies and excising tumours and doing most of the medical research that’s considered beneath a healer? Which class of medical practitioners pride themselves on keeping extensive notes and evidence on what works and what doesn’t, and pioneered writing down medical history, filing systems and patient privacy?

Healers are distinguished and clean and have a lot of magical expertise and knowledge, herbalists are salt of the earth and everyone’s friend, but doctors are considered beneath both of them because they’re messy, often covered in blood, guts and puke, tend to be useless in a fight, and have a ton of bureaucracy. They’re especially looked down on because they often don’t know shit about magic. You become a healer if you have the money for the education (pre-mages guild, anyway). You become a doctor if you don’t.

Bonus headcanon: because of lower demand, and partly because of how looked down on they are, qualified doctors and surgeons also play the role of nurses

ANYWAY Melissa becomes very liberal with physical affection pretty much as soon as she figures out her loved ones are comfortable with it.

Touch is important to her in relationships, be they platonic, familial or romantic, but she won’t force touch on anybody if they’re uncomfortable or if she has any reservations about being close enough to them for it to be appropriate.

That being said, please touch her, she’s a slut for a little squeeze around the shoulders.

Updates

-- GENERAL --

So good news, fellas! We were able to buy an adapter for my micro SD card, so I have access to my files!

Thanks to that, my generous fiancé for lending me his laptop while I work, and my dear friend @ca-cchan (and of course her sweet partner @robeyretro, both of whom I owe my life to) my mood has incredibly improved and I'm not wasting any time using that to its full potential!!!

I've also started a Furaffinity account, where I'll be uploading fun and cute furry art and exploring the community! I'm under the same name there (Cyanidas)

I'm working on developing and applying the use of a concrete scheduling system, which will take time to get just right, but I'm hoping that when it becomes routine for me, I'll be able to get my life on the right track! That way, it'll be easier to do things like work on webcomics, and learn new skills! It's my current primary focus, so expect things to be a little weird. ^^;

-- FANDOM STUFF --

For Yogscast, the above point means that I'll be able to vastly improve my overarching story/stories, redraw them, and rewrite everything in a clearer and more concise way. Think of it like an uphaul/upcycle of all the bits and pieces (and all my minicomics) into one massive cluster comic of short stories. The originals aren't going anywhere though c:

As for other fandoms, I'm looking forward to writing as many short story comics as I can, both for fan-characters and for my weird headcanons/AUs. This includes a Batman comic I've been dying to do!!

-- ORIGINAL STUFF --

As of right now, I have a handful of projects I'm working on, mostly in silence until I have more concrete ideas down. I don't wanna say anything revealing yet, because I'm not sure how the next few weeks are gonna go - but I will say I'm going to be learning Ren'Py script in full detail.

I'm also learning about RPGMaker and Blender on the sidelines. It's a process, as with anything! But I am learning ^^

CyQuest is coming along nicely! I'm really not sure if I'm happy with that name, but I'm a little stuck on ideas. Anyways, I'm still in the outline and design phases, but I've been making incredible strides (especially since it's a mutt of an original/fan universe with a unique hard magic system and mostly original lore). I'm even creating a basic and completely original few languages and scriptures for this comic, which is awful and hard but I really need this in it, like, you have no idea!

That's all for now! Thank you for reading!

Can I request hc's with RFA+minor trio reacts to a MC whos a white/black-hat-hacker (it's up to you ^^).

Wooo! That’s an interesting MC!!

Here it goes~ I really hope you like it!

Thank you for your request!

Yoosung

At first, he thought MC was kidding. Another hacker in the RFA? Impossible!

But then, they hacked into his LOLOL account to prove it.

“It’s amazing!!” Yoosung exclaimed.

“You know, Yoosung, it’s not that big of a deal…” MC chuckled.

“I have an idea,” Yoosung grinned.

That’s how MC ended up hacking into Seven’s LOLOL account. It took them about three days because the other hacker wouldn’t allow them access that easily, but they finally beat him up.

All those items Seven had managed to get in a legally dubious way were stolen from him one by one.

Yoosung jumped in happiness. MC was the Robin Hood of hackers and LOLOL users!

“Thank you, MC!! I love you!!!”

His MC is the best!

Zen

“Congratulations, Zen!” MC exclaimed. “You’ve got the role you auditioned for yesterday.”

“Wait, what!? How…? What?!”

Zen was so shocked he couldn’t even get happy at MC’s announcement.

“I hacked into the theatre’s files since I couldn’t wait to know, for sure, if they had given it to you. Not that I doubted you.”

“MC, you what?!”

Zen didn’t like it when MC hacked to find out stuff like that, but they didn’t seem able to help themselves (admitedly, though, it came in handy from time to time, and he enjoyed the attention).

When he had heard MC was a hacker, he had freaked out, imagining them in a dangerous profession similar to Seven’s, but then MC had explained that they worked for the government, so their work was actually legal, and he had felt more relieved.

Besides, their habilities with computers came in handy taking into account that Zen was awful with them.

Jaehee

She had been wary of MC at first when the RFA found out about their profession. When she had learnt that they were actually a white hat, though, she had felt at ease.

MC usually sent her messages directly to her computer when she worked for Jumin cheering her up, and that always made her day.

Whenever Jumin was unreasonable, MC threatened him to shut down all the IT services in C&R. Jumin knew they could do it.

Having a hacker friend is not that bad after all~

And when they opened the cafeteria together, MC used to to hack into the files of famous cafés to find out which new recipes they were going to launch and be ahead of them. Jaehee, though, didn’t like that and MC was scolded.

They would play fair if that’s what their girlfriend wanted :3

Jumin

He really liked it. He felt that every time he used his computer, he was closer to MC.

Which turned out to the true, since he didn’t even have to tell them about his important meetings with other companies when he went back home.

“I hacked into the security cameras and heard it all! Well done, Jumin!”

She would offer him to spy other companies, but Jumin refused. No foul play!!

MC shrugged. They just enjoyed hacking!

As Jaehee, he would receive encouraging messages to his computer and his desk wallpaper would be changed from time to time to a selfie of MC with Elizabeth that they had just taken.

707

When he tried to find information about MC, they counteracted hiding it. Until he threatened to kick them out of the RFA, that is. MC would have been able to hack their way back into the system, but they wanted to make friends!

Hacking contests. The winner receives three bags of HBC.

They hack into the other’s LOLOL account to steal items from each other.

But the one who suffers the most is Yoosung. The hackers won’t stop messing with him.

Erasing Seven’s identity from the agency was easier thanks to MC.

If they decided to unite forces to conquer the world, they would be able to.

He doesn’t really mind MC’s profession as long as they stay safe.

Nevertheless, their skills as hacker were very useful when they escaped Mint Eye, not only because MC made it more difficult for the believers to follow their tracks, but also because they kept a watch on V’s phone so that they didn’t do anything stupid.

Would have also hacked into the bomb in Mint Eye and stop it from detonating.

V had so many questions. Since he had lived Seven’s training to become a hacker, he wanted to know if theirs had been similar and why had they chosen that job.

MC just shrugged. They just enjoyed it.

If that’s what they wanted, V would have been supportive.

Saeran

He hid it from Rika in fear that she would want them to work from her in Mint Eye as Saeran substitute. Later on, he was glad he did so for MC’s own good.

As with V, going out of Mint Eye was easier.

They would help him finding Saeyoung, for which he would be really thankful. Working together, they would find him immediately and erase his identity from the agency’s and the twin’s father’s files.

He felt invincible next to MC.

Vanderwood

As V, he would have lots of questions to ask them after living Seven’s improvement as hacker.

He would ask MC to prank Seven and to scare him as revenge for all those times he had messed with Vanderwood.

Always telling Seven how MC was better than him, though if Seven made funny comments about “how proud Vandy was of his beloved,” he would be threatened with tassing.

“I’m glad not all hackers are like 707.”

He would call them from their hacker name. It was some kind of a turn on e.e
