#it's barely making a dent 💀💀

25gb hair folder. i dont tihnk all of that is necessary dawg

[darkfictionjude]

Okay so I know this is a touchy subject already especially since certain people have already been bitchy about it before, but sometimes Crowny is genuinely difficult to play as. I feel super conflicted about them since they're the literal personification of "damn bitch you live like this?"

Realistically, progress isn't linear and different people get different results even if they do the exact same thing, but as of now it feels like they aren't really allowed to improve at all. If you study you're still mediocre leaning towards bad in terms of understanding. You try to workout you see absolutely no results, not even the tiniest bit. When it comes to the other characters, it's always one step forward and two steps back. When you give them a hobby or try to get them to pick up a skill they find little enjoyment. When people bother them they barely fight back or even argue, and when they do it's like a sarcastic quip or a grumble at most. By the end, they haven't even made a dent. These don't make them less of a person and it doesn't make them a failure since the world is quite literally out to get them, but it's like they aren't allowed any satisfaction in their life. (Yeah it's been like a month, maybe barely scratching two in the current timeline so maybe this contradicts what I first said about progress but I'm dumb as hell)

It's wild to go from the side quests, backstory segments, interactions with the ROs and then Crown family just for all the hype to fade when there's a segment with just Crowny all alone. I know that there's a reason for why they are the way they are, but I literally have to take breaks from reading their solitary moments sometimes because it seems to drag on. I know things aren't easy in this universe, I know the world is supposed to be cruel and unfair, but like can they at least get a cake for their efforts? Or a hug? Or be able to sleep through one night and wake up well rested?

I hope I'm not sounding like an asshole or a insane here. Personally, they're relatable in a lot of aspects. I may not have had supernatural shit going after me, but I had a lot of issues that many of their experiences brush way too close to. It's just the way it's presented that makes them feel like they're like the random piece of chewy cartilage in an otherwise perfectly cooked steak, unpleasant but I'm gonna eat it anyway.

I literally just wrote a whole ass book complaining, but I at least wanna say I do love your work, Crowny included even if my words seem to say otherwise, and I'm super excited to see what happens in the timeskip since i know this is like JUST the beginning. I'm like seriously praying my tone is coming off the right way if that's even possible. If you read through all this thanks. I'm not gonna hide behind anon because I at least wanna be able to explain myself if this comes across wrong.

but like can they at least get a cake for their efforts? Or a hug? Or be able to sleep through one night and wake up well rested?

Well no 😭😭

And that comes from the fact that they are self loathing, depressed as hell and have virtually no support system while dealing with things that they aren’t mature enough to handle, actually their mental health is getting far worse which is by design

I feel like perhaps some readers have not realized just how depressed crowny is. All the things you described about them finding little enjoyment, etc., are key markers of major clinical depression

I feel also people did miss the fact that crowny kind of exploded in the library they didn’t shut up, they didn’t let it go which I think is a positive because this is the first time they’ve have enough to say “enough”

Sorry but I like my things slow burn 💀 that Halloween party is meant to be a breakthrough for them and I think perhaps it’s been glossed over by some because what happened to James has gotten the most attention and the final moment in the woods. Crowny outed their “friends” for the first ever and fought back against their tormentor in only one single night. James for all his issues did the one thing that broke the camel’s back and pushed Crowny over the edge, all 7 episodes have led to this

Crowny is meant to fall before they come up that’s how I wanted it because realistically someone could not handle all of this without losing their mind. It has barely been two months, Crowny has only seriously hit the main plot in episode 4 which in the current timeline was about 3 weeks ago (from episode 7)

Truly the progress that crowny did make in episode 7 should have taken longer, people with crowny’s issues spend years in therapy before they feel they have the right to fight back.

There’s a reason episode 7 is the midseason finale. It’s not only about the plot but about crowny themself….

Dw you’re tune is fine I can usually tell when someone doesn’t think before they write 😭

[ipilokko]

Hello! This is me attempting to write after a looong time. I was not home today so i wanted to try again. I don't think I'm the best at it and i probably made a LOT of grammar mistakes since English is not my first language. So i might get embarrassed and delete this later 💀

The thing is under the cut...

From the warmth of their home, Mollie stood in front of the window, she could hardly make out her immense husband between the layering raindrops. It was getting colder and colder each day as the weather pulled away from autumn and was being dragged more into winter.

His back facing her, he was wearing a dark brown coat with his umbrella on his hand, creating a spotlight on him free from the raindrops. She gripped the ladder, slowly climbing down to reach the ground. She put on her jacket, her hat, took her own umbrella, her gloves and went outside from the human door.

The oversized raindrops were a bit sticky as the surface tension was, for sure, directly proportional to the scale. She slowly made her way through him, whose gaze was lost in the foreverness of the ocean. She watched as he stretched farther over her horizon line, much farther over her head and then finally, as he completely took over her vision as she got closer.

The raindrops stopped falling on her when she passed the lineage of the circular waterproof fabric hundreds of feet above. He wasn't acting like it but she was sure he had noticed her coming, he always did.

"Always by the sea... Why do you hate me so much?"

Mollie teased before letting out a short-lasting laugh, cranning her neck to be able to see his face... Well, more like underside of his jaw. He looked down and his eyes landed on her. She was not even sure if he could see her eyes, yet it WAS an eye contact. Roy smiled kindly and looked back up to his own vanishing point. He moved his umbrella to her direction and centered it on top of her, even though he knew it was already covering her before. The sound of huge raindrops falling just a few feet away from her tickled her ears.

"What so nice here anyway?"

She walked closer to his feet. She could smell the fresh polish he applied on his shoes just a day ago.

"Stay here with me for a little longer and you will find out" He replied softly without breaking his eye contact with waves for a moment, then glancing at her.

She shifted her attention back to the ocean and glanced around between the waves. "I guess I'll be here for a while, then"

"I would love that" he once again, smiled calmly.

She was a bit cold, but it was no excuse to get back into the house. Yes, maybe she didn't understand what he liked so much about the sea but just staying with him made her happy. And her staying with him made him happy. Despite her being really talkative, it was actually the speechless moments of pure togetherness she adored the most.

His long legs shifted behind her, transferring his weight onto them with a soft tremour, shielding her from the cold breeze. His movements calm and bare of rush, as they always were. After a short amount of time, she felt a movement behind her and noticed he was lowering himself on the ground, his stature folding in half and getting more than twice as big with the affect of perspective. He smootly reached for her and slightly spread out his fingers to reveal his palm, inviting her to join him up in the sky. She glanced at his ring, which was a symbol of their marriage. it warmed her heart seeing how well he took care of it, not a single piece of dust between the elegant engravings.

With her barely perceivable touch, she put one of her hands on the inner side of his forefinger and the other one on his thumb. She supported herself and climbed on it, her small weight barely forming a dent on the soft flesh. She felt the welcomed thrill of weightlessness as he began to rise her up in the air, making her previous ground shrink and shrink more until it stopped.

"Shoulder, please" she requested. He obeyed after he deeply studying her with his soft gaze. She took a step that led her on his shoulder after his hand was aligned with the level of it. She carefully passed his and made herself comfortable near the wall of his neck with the warmth of his life blood leaking on her. His presence was dominating yet somehow, so recessive that she felt like she was taking advantage of him. She was always grateful that the gentle giant was always so patient, so respectful and considerate of her needs. He was a gentleman from every angle and his manner and accent only made her opinion stronger.

She once again paid attention to the sound of rain, a wee bit muffled now as she was further away from the origin.

"Shall we go in?" His voice rumbled through her from where she was leaning her head on. Weird enough, even though she was this close to his voicebox, his voice always touched her so gently.

"We broke up? This is news to me” james 😭

“No one needs romantic love to be fulfilled as a person. Not everyone wants it, and then there are those who aren't ready, and all of it is okay. That doesn't mean there's an absence of love, or that you're getting it wrong. You're not, Regulus, I promise."

“i would not have known joy if i did not have the pleasure of knowing you”

ugh wolfstar. i love you. 

😯 hanky panky

spine has been realigned

ok but any time any of them ever talk about getting off it just makes me think about one time when i was at a district choir concert and when we were practicing one of our songs the director said “there won’t be a dry seat in the audience” (he meant dry eye, bc the song was beautiful, but it just came out like everyone in the audience would dream their pants 😭) but. unnecessary story and it isn’t really that funny unless you were there but. 

chapter 30 (?!)

evan 💔

the fact that all of this happened in the span of two weeks

effie and monty!!!!!!!!!!

[vultursvolans]

omg ryu your comment about us having similar styles made me think about going shopping with you !! and then i thought about making it a double date with you and nami hehe .. i just know we’d be the coolest ones at the mall! and we could buy as much as we want since diluc offers (insists) on paying for everything because he wants to see me and my friends happy and doesn’t mind because it would barely make a dent in his wallet (his words not mine) 🙂‍↕️ i can picture diluc walking behind us like a big scary bodyguard carrying all our shopping bags lol!! also picturing him and nami sitting outside the fitting rooms as they wait for us and their jaws dropping to the floor at the same time when we come out to show them the dresses we picked out ahhgsjs ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა of course we would treat you both to dinner at the winery afterwards and i would prepare a bunch of yummy pastries for you too! ♡

awea!!!!! :((( this made me so happy to read while i was rotting away at work lmfao!!!!

us three would be linking arms at the mall like three gorgeous musketeers while diluc marches behind hehe <3 i do hope you don’t mind being in the middle, miss!

i could also see this double date making nami particularly happy because she loves getting pretty, shopping, and being around girls so she might get the zoomies and run off for a bit 💀😂 then you and i both look at each other like ‘oop well there she goes!’

when we both come out of the dressing room twirling our gowns for our loves, diluc’s face softens when he sees how stunning you are! his cheeks might burn as bright as his firey hair! and his lips would curl into a gentle smile, as if he’s thinking about how lucky he is that he gets to look at you everyday :( ♥️ and then… (lmao as i’m typing this i just realised diluc and nami are red and orange while we are both black lol!) anyways and then… there’s nami who’s quite literally a mess and squealing before us !! ♥️ there’s actually a scene somewhere in op where nami has tears in her eyes while she’s eating a cookie (tbh one of my fave screencaps ever), and i feel like that would be her eating your pastries as she thanks you and diluc for the day. and i’ll be squeezing your hand and thanking you for how much fun it was ^_^

you may find a basket of tangerines and handmade fragrances and candles at the winery’s doorstep in a weeks time! from yours truly! 🍊🖤

we kind of look like three little mice while he’s the big protector wolf hahahah

[thejessis]

Cameron’s death sounded rough OOF 💀

IT WAS BRUTAL AND I WAS ACTUALLY FOR REAL SCARED FOR NICK'S LIFE BUT THE WAY IT PLAYED OUT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!!! perfectly-timed dice rolls (some good, some extremely bad) plus an absolutely stellar performance by our storyteller who absolutely killed it, the dialogue from every session of that situation STILL gives me goosebumps

(I tried to write a short tl;dr but this was not a tl;dr scenario so I PUT MORE DETAILS UNDER A CUT)

so some events had recently escalated, cameron was spiraling, and he & his sabbat bff claude had kidnapped two of nick's sisters who happened to be in town (the twins!) as a result. the coterie "rescued" them - except one of them turned out to be a shovelhead disguised with chimerstry, so it turned out they had only rescued ONE (gianna!) of the girls and the other (arianna!) was still being held captive

nick called claude and offered up himself leaving the country with cameron in exchange for the safe return of his sister, so while the rest of the coterie was rescuing ari (for real this time) and dealing with claude, nick was driving alone to meet cameron so they could leave las vegas together. except the plan all along was to make sure his sister was safe first and then 1v1 cameron when they were alone in the middle of nowhere

except nick! failed! EVERY ATTACK ROLL!! this man couldn't STAB, he couldn't SHOOT, I WAS NOT MAKING A DENT, meanwhile cameron is actually genuinely very deadly and got close enough to RIP NICK'S CHEST OPEN and only didn't immediately finish him off bc he was teaching nick a lesson

and then nick, who had been dealing with Other Stuff immediately prior to this and hadn't drank in a Long Ass Time as a result, had to make a self-control roll to prevent frenzying on an empty tank + within an inch of his life, and i rolled FOUR ONES!!!!!

so nick, who spent the first 1-2 months of his embrace having beast-induced nightmares about killing cameron with his bare teeth, in an accidentally perfect and gruesome moment of narrative bow-tying, had the most catastrophic frenzy of his life and ripped cameron's throat out with his teeth! (the circumstances were severe enough that the only thing keeping nicky from diablerizing his sire to quench his thirst was that I made ANOTHER self-control roll to prevent it and by sheer luck succeeded) and then immediately slumped over, covered in blood, chest open, with like 1 hp left, and had a complete mental breakdown over it

(also he took cameron's necklace off his bones! and still has it! no one knows!!)

anyway yeah it was VICIOUS and while yes killing off my favorite npc was very sad honestly it was just SUCH a phenomenal and raw and intense series of events, I'm gonna be thinking about it forever

[another-lost-mc]

Could you share what’s in your wip right now? 👀

me looking at my google docs and tumblr drafts like

My canon and OCs wip lists are two separate things I go back and forth on. There was a WIP ask game not too long ago where I answered questions about some of the larger projects in my drafts, but ofc that's barely a dent in the things I have outlines or ideas for. 💀

There are some shorter things I've been working on too, like someone sent in an ask recently about King Solomon that I've been mulling over. I have an outline of something for the OCs which is basically their version of The Worst Goodbye (how they handle MC's disappearance at the start of NB and if/how they meet MC in the past). I'm itching to write period sex blurbs something short and nasty with some of the canon and OC characters. I also have a mostly-complete surprise guest interactions/intimacy calls post for some of the OCs

I have three or four things in my drafts for the canon characters too and I'm hoping to wrap those up soon. One of them just needs an editing pass, but editing for me usually means doubling the word count and/or making things more angsty/fluffy/horny. good news if you're a Michael fan

[bullshit-bulltrue]

so science lab was fucking insane today bc we had a substitute .

i had to be mean to someone, almost got hit with a chancla, found out a guy i liked in elementary has a crush on me, and i ended up falling asleep in the midst of it all

and bc i wanna type the rest in a weird format, here u go:

me: *leaves at the end of class* *goes to locker bc holy shit i just found out a guy likes me* *gets pissed bc shit don't be adding up* *contemplates why he would like me* lowkey gets mad 💀* *screeches + punches my locker and leaves a small dent* (...oopsie) *closes my locker and takes a deep breath*

ben: *pops up outta nowhere* (awoop jumpscare) (but in a good way) hey! *does a lil wave*

me: hi!

ben: yo your class was REALLY loud. we could hear you guys all the way from our room.

me: yeah it was ten times louder inside.

ben: damn

*pauses for a minute bc we kept bumping into each other since everyone else is fucking bumping into us*

me: hey did Mr e. play the gummy bear song for you guys and make you all dance?

ben: yeah *kinda embarrassed*

me: i figured, i heard it playing from the hallways lol

ben: well you guys were way louder lol

me: yeah its bc we had a sub

ben: ohhh that makes sense

me: everyone went crazy i swear. people running everywhere, almost got hit with a chancla

ben: wait what?!

me: yeah someone took aaron's slipper and threw it over my head. that was fun.

ben: oh wow

me: surprised i got out of class in time

ben: why's that?

me: oh i fell asleep and barely woke up before the bell

ben: you can fall asleep in there??? it was fucking loud

me: yeah, i can fall asleep if im tired enough

ben: wow

*we walk out the building doors and head toward the front of the school*

ben: hey did you finish the english essay?

me: i haven't even started it

ben: oh i finished it already

ben: ah..

me: yeah its due tonight so i'm just gonna scrape smth together

me: that was a joke. um, a bad one. it's not that hard, so i'll finish it up in no time. besides, we only have to write like 2 paragraphs minimum

ben: um.. more

me: seven? six?

ben: one less

me: five? omg, good job

ben: and i'm thinking of coloring in the drawing too. aiming for that extra credit 😎 but idk yet (he was joking. our school doesn't allow extra credit)

ben: yeah i actually don't know how many paragraphs that is lol (he didn't use indentations) and i still don't know about coloring it in

me: i'd say that's about 4-5. and, as i said, don't worry too much about coloring it in. you have a good amount written, so you should get a solid grade on that. and the diagram for your drawing looks good. if anything, maybe highlight the main parts. so it's bold you know?

ben: okay, thanks!

me: yeah, anytime! ever need help, just ask.

ben: okay!

me: see ya later!

ben: yeah, bye!

[letstalkaboutfandomsbaby]

Sunny 🥺 what if Iwa met you somewhere lowkey like in line at a coffee shop and he was like "hey this is weird but I swear I recognize your voice from somewhere." And you just start giggling because there's only one place he could know your voice from and he turns bright red when you tell him what you do and it turns out you're his favorite audio pornstar. He's trying not to be weird about it but you're so much prettier than he could've imagined (and he did) and oh shit now you're flirting with him and he knows what you sound like when you cum but he can barely offer to buy you your coffee but somehow he ends up walking away with your number? And eventually you tell him that your wrists are tired from using toys, does he wanna come over and help you record a new audio?

It works out perfect because he's really quiet while you're recording and it ends up being your most popular piece. Until the next time you have him over to record, that is. But don't worry, he makes up for how quiet he has to be once the mic is turned off and you let him finish with you -rosie

Rosie. You put these beautiful thoughts in my head and i get a headache from all the brainrot jesus CHRIST

CW: gn reader, fluff, smut, audio porn, not beta read bc fuck that sksksk

Oh but imagine it: big strong handsome Iwaizumi who everyone assumes gets pussy left and right but really this guy is so AWKWARD. He's too shy to flirt properly and he clams up when he's around someone he likes—that's why he's resorted to jerking off to audio porn, he gets too nervous talking to ppl and hearing their lovely voices.

God, and it was hard enough just talking to a pretty thing like you but when he finds out what you do? When he realizes that you're the source of the angelic voice he's been jerking off to for months? He wishes he could just evaporate on the spot 💀 he's been cumming to your voice for so long, just hearing you giggle gets him bricked up :( he's almost mad that you're exactly his type, if you weren't everything he's ever dreamed then maybe he wouldn't be so nervous and awkward while he tries talking to you. He feeks like he's dreaming when you take the lead and start flirting with him, coming on to him and making his head spin. No way the person whose voice makes him tremble and cream is actually interested in him—

Oh but then you're taking his phone and adding your number and putting a heart by your contact name and you retrieve your coffee and leave. He has to keep checking his contacts on his phone to make sure he's not dreaming bc none of this seems real. He nervously texts you, worried he'll make a fool of himself, but surprisingly the two of you hit it off without any problems. Your conversations flow naturally and he finda himself more and more comfortable talking to you. Ofc he was attracted to your voice and looks in the beginning, but he finds himself falling for your personality, his heart fluttering each time you text.

And then you text him about your toys, how your wrists are so tired from overuse, how you could really use some help creating a new audio, and suddenly he's bolting out the door, condoms stuffed in his back pocket. He reaches your home in record time, fueled by adrenaline and desire, and his feelings only grow stronger when you open the door in just a satin robe.

When i say yall fuck like animals, im talkin nonstop, feral, putting a dent in the drywall with your headboard kinda shit sksksk. Iwa doesn't have a lot of experience under his belt, but GOD do you fuel his stamina, he just can't get enough of you. You're already louder bc you're recording your voice, but it feels like you're even more enthusiastic while he pounds into you. He's never heard your voice hitch like that or those hiccups or squeaks, that's all bc of him, of how he's making you feel, and he's eating it all up.

He's a quiet lover, but he struggles not to groan once he finally cums, electing to bite your shoulder instead, making you cry out in the most blissful way. He eventually releases you, pulling out, helping you turn off your equipment before he holds you close, sighing with content. He's high on cloud nine, he's never felt so good in his entire life, he can't let something so good leave now—

"Do you wanna go out sometime, like to a movie or dinner?" You prop yourself up and look at him.

"You mean like a date?" He blushes, suddenly nervous all over again.

"Y-Yeah, like a date..." His stomach flips when you smile.

"Yeah. I'd love to."

Rogues reaction to a fellow villain being a clumsy idiot

Villain somehow bumps into something everytime

Stumbles sometimes, they aren't even wearing long clothes or high heels. Their body just be missing steps by themself 💀

They can't fathom how many times they've felt their soul jump from how many misteps that happens when they miss a step (on the stairs. It's scary 😔)

But they still get their job done smoothly no matter how clumsy they are, they're used to it

Can they perform three felonies at once? Yes. Can't work stairs though...

The Riddler: Really can't wrap his head around you being considered a notorious villain in this moment. How did you fall up the stairs!? "You moron! Move!" Prepared to be manhandled like your name is Ragdoll because he isn't leaving you behind you're welcome by the way don't get used to it but you're hopeless. Now isn't the time for a lack of coordination, the GCPD are right behind the two of you!

Scarecrow: Most are made aware of your presence by a sudden yelp of cry of pain and if lucky an extra loud thud of you hitting the ground. It's become somewhat of a game...count how many times (Y/N) falls. This time Jonathan heard a loud cry. "Ow, my hand!" "What did you do now?" Jonathan sighed. "The door broke my fingers and it didn't apologise!" Jonathan paused. However he heard Two-Face quietly chuckling behind him. "I doubt it broke your fingers!" Jonathan called back. "You don't know my life, Crane!" Was his received response.

Two-Face: He might have become your babysitter. He's taken it upon himself to keep an eye on you when around. He's caught you more times than your ego is willing to admit. So much that he sees you need to go down stairs and he's immediately got your elbow, ready to haul you up on the high chance that you will fall. Harv' will make fun of you for it. He can't help himself, which gives you a free pass on making jokes about him being well done on one side and rare on the other...or extra crispy. You really do have options. "You falling for me again, hm?" "You know me, Dent. I see some crispy skin and can't help myself."

Black Mask: You told him you couldn't walk in heels...so why are you doing this in heels!? As aggravating as it is to do anything criminal with you...he'll agree most times because it's ridiculously funny watching you fall over, over and over again. There's nothing like a job well done than successfully escaping the crime without capture and having you pull you up off the ground a few times because you've either given in trying to walk or run like a human or you've met the ground unwillingly. "I'm beginning to think your brain just can't handle the coordination and shuts down." "Listen Sionis, I think about things, okay? I am smart and if things like coordination and knowing how to walk have to go to make more room then so be it!"

Penguin: "Edward did you (Y/N)-proof your hideout?" Penguin suddenly asked warily. "Did I (Y/N)-proof my what?" Edward barely finished the question when there was a loud crash. "What was that?" Edward called out panicked. "It was (Y/N) tripping over your collection of not so empty cardboard boxes in the corridor here acting as a decoration piece." Jonathan replied. Edward suddenly gasped frantically hurrying to you and Jonathan who was helping you up. "(Y/N) if you break my stuff I swear-" Oswald sighed. "I told you they were coming! You know they can't walk in even an empty place nevermind your hoarding shithole of a hideout!" "Hey! My hideout is accommodating to only the superior minded! Of course, it's a death zone for the rest of you, you're too stupid!" Oswald finds the clumsiness cute so believe it or not, he has a soft spot for you and tries to make life easier.

SESSION #4… & #5 (this one is SUPER LONG i’m sorry haha)

as always, SPOILERS for BOTH of the last of us games are below!

i feel like i have barely made a fuckin dent in this game haha so my goal today is to really get some ground. i want to finish this before i go back to school next week.

total play time:

session 4: about 5 hours

session 5: around 7 hours

i left off in a really weird spot last time bc i ended pretty abruptly so idk where it’ll put me

but this section is called Capitol Hill

it started me back a few minutes but that’s alright!

goddamnit i knew it was too quiet. there was too much short grass around here i knew some wlfs were gonna fuckin show up

NOOOOO the halloween stuff is probably reminding ellie of riley :(

i think that’s the same frankenstein statue/figure from the mall as well?

damn.

i have a feeling this place is gonna be CRAWLING with wlfs. i literally hear them already

FUCK as soon as i used the workbench

wlfs AND infected??? jfc

i at least found a card tho

THERE’S A WHOLE STEALTH UPGRADE BRANCH????

my rogue heart is so happy

I WAS WONDERING WHEN I COULD MAKE SILENCERS FUUUUUCK YEA

there’s a bunch of pride stuff around! fuck yea!

LMAO DINA ��what’s with all the rainbows?”

FUCK YEA BOOKSTORE

SORORITY SECRETS💀 “it’s us right?” LMAOOOOO

that’s so fucking funny

there’s a trans flag in here too!! FUCK YEA

lmao dina getting distracted by the gay smut

OH MY GOD THE WLF ARE FUCKING EVERYWHERE

i fucking love silencers holy shit fuck yea

this area is HUGE holy shit

anutha card babyyyyyy

what if i don’t want to go to the tv station huh? what then?

dude i gotta try ellie’s half up half down hair style. i love it so much

it’s also crazy how this is still DAY ONE for them

ellie saying how she couldn’t do this without dina and dina telling ellie she wouldn’t have let her😭😭😭😭😭😭

oh shit explosive trap

anutha card babyyyyyy

“i like you.” “i want it in writing.” I LOVE ELLIE AND DINA

oh my god ellie’s talking about bill

i wonder what the fucker’s up to rn

ellieeeeeeeeeeeee don’t say that shit

“you have a bigger burden that puts you in a worse position” ELLIE NOOOO

“feel her love?” are we entering scar territory? oh fuck

TOMMY’S HORSE OH SHIT

oh no dina

ellie, dina’s pregs dude. be patient with herrrrrrrr

she sounded annoyed with her when she asked if she was good to keep going. and it doesn’t help that ellie just said that shit about other people being a burden. ELLLIIIEEEEEE

had to break for like 20 min due to some internet issues

well what was 20 min turned into like more than 7 hours HAHA

and what turned into 7 hours turned into 2 days…

so i’m just gonna mash the two sessions into one post bc it’s easier and i can sooo LMAO

i’m sorry ya’ll shit has been wack and the anxiety is in full force haha ANYWAY

SESSION #5 BEGINS HERE!!

idk where it’s gonna put me bc i ended pretty abruptly (again.)

also i think my first tattoo is gonna be the moth on the guitar and on ellie’s tattoo? i’ve been thinking about it for over a year😯

OKAY it started me a little bit after finding tommy’s horse

i already have shitty eyes i CANNOT see these traps in the tall grass dude

i have a feeling i’m gonna get jumpscared in this fuckin furniture store

ANUTHA CARD BABYYYY

I WAS RIGHT WHAT THE FUCK

THEY CRAWL NOW???????

damn i opened this safe just to be able to grab NOTHING i am fully stocked on everything

… i spoke too soon

going back for the med kit bc i tripped a fucking bomb…

more of the “feel her love” art

radio station WOOOOO

she really did learn so fucking much about surviving from joel holy fuck

bc if she only grew up in a community and didn’t go across the country w joel i don’t know if she would have the knowledge that she does

oh shiiiit there are some dead ppl upon this balcony

i don’t think this was tommy tho

nope! there’s an arrow in this person

i also like how they subtly tell you who killed them with the arrow. there have been no wlfs with bows anywhere. they all have firearms. tommy is always seen with a rifle of some kind but never a bow. so there’s a lot of process of elimination that can be done just from this alone. i fuckin love little details like that.

so it was scars. the “feel her love” graffiti and the wlf patrols frim earlier mentioned them. i love how this group is being introduced slowly. it really builds them up and tells you what you need to know about them before you encouter them.

i already know about the scar group so i have some insight, but the way they slowly add them into the mix is cool

hopefully i get a bow soon

onward to the inside!

ohhhhhhh fuck.

i don’t care who you are, no one deserves to be hung like that. that’s horrible.

damn i can’t even cut them down. fuck, man.

and those are wlf, so it was the scars

the scar symbol in blood? jesus christ.

and i know there’s gonna be combat here bc i see that clip on tiktok all the time of this encounter

the music is stressing me the fuck OUT

found another card tho

kimimela is fucking DOPE

although this does seem like a really comfy place to set up, it’s too big to defend dude

clearly that was their downfall bc jesus christ it is a massacre in here

i’ve only seen dead wlfs. no scars.

oh shit it’s leah

ellie’s hands are shaking :(

oh fuck there’s polaroids of all of them

OH SHIT THERE’S A PICTURE OF ABBY

god the way that she stares at the picture :(

and the music AHHHH :(

the way that dina recenters her by saying “3 down, right?”

god i love them

dina pointing out how fucked it would be to interrogate leah like tommy did to the one guy, but ellie is so persistent that she doesn’t feel it’s wrong GOOODDDDDD DUDE MY HEART

RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING FOR MY LIFE

ohhhhhh fuck we’re underground. i know what’s about to fuckin go down. and i want NONE of it bro

fuckin theatre WHEN?

this subway shit REALLY feels like the last of us

thank fuck for trap mines. oh my god.

that cart holding open the door collapsing is a really smart way to close off the area

i want out of these tunnels bro

tbh scavenging is one of my favorite parts of the game. it’s so satisfying.

oh shit! there’s a carving of the scar woman in the graffiti. this shit is HELLA cultish bro

hmmmm this newspaper clipping about a community in the suburbs surviving seems like her origin story, whoever the fuck she is

“the community members unanimously credited their survival to one woman…” unanimously being the key word there

“she had a vision of catastrophe… ‘divine retribution’” yuuuup sure sounds cult-y to me

CARD ACQUIRED

“how’d you do that?” “magic.” “you’re my favorite.” THEY are my favorite your honor🥹

THERE’S A FUCKIN HAWAIIAN SHIRT IN HERE ELLIE TAKE IT

Hunger Games

Hey hey, it's Tuesday! So it's time for some more cannibal Sam and Loki. This one is personally my favorite chapter and I hope you enjoy it too with a bit more plot and back story for our dear Loki in this chapter and a very dominating Kali.

Summary: Sam’s nerves and patience were wearing as thin as the dying rays of the summer sun. After weeks of endlessly searching, they were no closer to finding a dragon worthy of Sam's restrictive diet. Loki, under the threat of Sam’s wrath, makes a risky decision and reaches out to the pagans for help.

Read a preview of, Hunger Games: Khichri, Rated Explicit, below or in full on my Ao3.

❣️💀 Happy Haunting 💀❣️

As the weeks wore on, Loki drove the Hellcat across the country collecting and testing out powers with Sam. It had been weeks since he had suggested and teased about the prospect of a dragon for a meal. Sam had let the half-god take the lead on finding one for the simple fact that the monster eater didn't have a way to search for such a rare and ancient creature, much to Sam's distaste. They checked more than a couple of elemental powers off of Sam’s list, but they were no closer to capturing a dragon than the day Loki suggested it. However, with the idea of fulfilling Sam’s biggest hunger for invulnerability the twisted soul grew more restless. The brunette felt the burning itch beneath his skin return faster and faster even after feeding his disgruntled powers. 

As the summer continued to wane Sam’s soul and new powers were twisted within him, his mood deteriorating the longer he was forced to spend time in the pagan's company and to wait. The longer it seemed to drag out and the closer it came to Sam having to return to campus life, the more his hunger gnawed at the monster eater and the more his irritability increased between meals. Loki hadn’t been blind to it, taking longer in his time to play with Sam after each new power was successfully added, dragging out their playtime to try to satiate the brunette’s desperate soul and improve his mood. The half-god was fully aware that even if the past few weeks had reaped a multitude of powers for Sam to hone, it was not the dragon the deity had waved in front of Sam’s bottomless pit of a stomach and no matter how much the addict fed his new powers, it did not satisfy the raging itch beneath his skin.

The brunette hummed as he moved to lean against the Hellcat, his hand twitching slightly from where it lay against Loki’s healed spine, dragging it through the still-wet blood. Sam’s head tilted back as Loki made a spot for himself, pressing himself between Sam’s long bloody legs, his tongue licking the broad chest that was coated in the mortal's fresh blood. 

Sam’s eyes fell on the remains of the coven of witches the traveling twosome had happened upon. It wasn’t a dragon, but it had enhanced Sam’s naturally gifted powers, his grimoire collection, and the number of ingredients he had on hand. His eyes roamed over the blood-soaked grass and the broken altar, a deep frown settling into his softened features. The twitch of his wrist reminded him that he already felt the gnawing need returning. The two had only just finished playing a few short minutes ago, the blood soaking through their torn clothing barely dry. 

The warlock shifted against the trunk of the Hellcat, hearing Loki’s slow count, his eyes snapping back to hazel. The pagan didn’t stop as he shifted with Sam, pressed against Sam’s front and lapping at his chest between counts. They both knew Sam’s cooling-off period was getting smaller between meals. His unsatisfied addiction was simmering just on the other side of the cool calm that always filled the monster eater after their fun. The witches and Loki's peculiar blood hadn’t been enough for him. Sam’s hand twitched against the half-god's spine once more and Loki stopped counting. 

They hadn’t done enough to make a dent in Sam’s self-control. The taller man huffed as the pagan stopped his count, lifting his hand to lick the bits of Loki’s spinal column and blood from under his nails, trying to savor the feeling of post-coital bliss and his meal. The blonde hummed still satiated from Sam’s prayers and the taste of his enriched blood. He was pressed against the taller man’s long legs, leaning against him, still savoring the taste of Sam's corrupted blood and soul. His body weight was fully leaning on the brunette as he enjoyed the silence they shared before the inevitable storm of Sam’s hunger.

December 2022 TBR

First full TBR post since returning! Current reads aren't super different from my mid-November post: • Project: In the reread/read through of Ken Liu's Dandelion Dynasty series, I'm still on The Veiled Throne. I've read over 100 pages and barely made a dent in this chonker lmao. It'll be the Project Read for a while.

• eBook: Still working through The Monsters We Defy, I'm still trying to figure out a system for reading my eBooks, I'm sorry!! 💀

• Physical TBR: Over halfway through The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin. Stakes are getting higher as extradimensional forces still try to destroy NYC and the universe as we know it.

• Library Read: Just started A Minor Chorus by Billy-Ray Belcourt, which is very short and artful. I have placed a hold on Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong—and the New Research That's Rewriting the Story by Angela Saini, which is the current read for the Book CommuniREAD book club (hosted by Jess Owens, one of my favorite BookTubers). It looks at biology, psychology & anthropology to reveal how bias in science did more to uplift patriarchy than represent women accurately. It shouldn't be TERFy, but it may not necessary be as inclusive as it could be. We'll see how it goes.

Weather is gonna be iffy here for a bit, so I'm not sure how long the hold will take to arrive. Chances are I'll have finished A Minor Chorus beforehand, so I may fudge the system a lil bit and start my preordered copy of The Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard. As I've said here before, it's SF with Sapphic romance, space pirates, sentient spaceships, and more!

There are two more books on my radar, incoming from my Book of the Month sub:

• Babel by R.F. Kuang, the darling of BookTube and probably beyond. It is fantasy set in an alternate 19th century Oxford, that examines things like translation, imperialism, and whether revolution requires violence.

• Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson, a BotM Book of the Year finalist, sent as a freebie since I'm now a BFF with BotM lol. It's about two estranged siblings piecing together the puzzle of their strange inheritance and the secrets of their mother's past.

November set into motion what may be an indefinite stretch of busy times ahead for me (we may possibly be moving within the next year), so I'm sure I won't finish everything listed here by the end of this year. Either way, I think I'll be prioritizing Babel and White Horse (by Erika T. Wurth) in January, but I'll get back to you in a month when I've decided for sure 😹

Should be a great end to my reading year, regardless. I hope everyone has some good reads to round out their year with!
