#other than wait for developments

[sandcheeze13]

all i got to say for today...

however, i would definitely recommend to read the next message right after.

to put it simply: despite everything, the fight's not over. it's just gotten more harder now.

please don't give in to defeatism. things are bleak, but it's still not over.

for now, please take a breather. please. it's for your own good.

One of my favorite aspects of the Buddie relationship is that they are both so okay with clinginess. Obviously Buck tends to be the one who is the clingier of the two, but neither of them have any reservations about this behavior. They see no problems with always wanting to be around each other. They are equally codependent.

Eddie is beaming fondly about Buck’s obsession with taking Christopher to the zoo all the time. Buck willingly forces Eddie, Chris, Taylor, and himself into an awkward dinner because he wants his girlfriend and best friend to get along, and Eddie allows it even though he kinda hates Taylor. Eddie doesn’t even flinch when his best friend shows up on his doorstep out of the blue after he just got out of the hospital from a lightning strike injury that killed him. Buck has zero issue with Eddie dropping Chris off with zero warning to get him out of bed and back to living life again.

Eddie sees Buck’s attachment issues as something to be treasured or protected, and clearly encourages Buck to be around constantly if the “this is Eddie’s house, I’m not really a guest” line is any indicator. And as for Buck, if Eddie ever found a new friend to hang with, he would immediately start crashing out, as evidenced by the ill-advised maiming he does of Eddie’s ankle because he’s so damn jealous of Tommy. They couldn’t possibly be more “what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine” about each other, it’s just that ridiculous.

Have I ever mentioned to you guys that I love A.ce A.ttorney? I've been a fan of it for years now! So long that my Thing for Blonds™ hadn't developed yet!

Despite being a fan for so long, I haven't really gone back to revisit the series. Partially because I have so many other series to get into. And another part bc I'm so scared of developing a crush on any of the characters upon a rewatch-

Sometimes your Mental Illness™ is kicking your ass and all you can do is offer the first hot, non-leftover meal you managed to prep in the day at 10:30 pm to Apollo & ask for help getting to *and* getting through your appointment tomorrow and that's okay

Hey i am back with a thought.

I know we already mentioned like. The future future plans concerning kids in the New Age storyline.

I was thinking. Who would carry/get the kid in the couples? (Yes this implies mpreg. If this aint your thing no worries you can just ignore everything else :3 )

As you mentioned before. Nightmare and error would most likely adopt.

Between dream and blue i think blue would end up carrying the kid. Dream would feel too locked up and locked down if he had to take it easy. Also. Let this man pamper Blue. He deserves that.

Ccino and Killer. Ccino wouldnt want kids for a LONG time and even just the idea would be slow going. But killer has his soul situation (is that also a situation in this story?) And he is a knight being out and about. Ccino is safely at home and would be the safer option. But they would need a long time before ccino would feel comfortable with the idea.

Horror and Crop. Crop. Hands down. Horror with his work and Crop has help on the farm. But i doubt thwy would get a kid because they have along distance relationship.

Cross and Lust it depends on who wants it more. I can see both being the one who does it mostly because i can see pros and cons for both sides.

Reaper, Geno and Dust. Only one option. Reaper. Dust doesnt have a healthy enough soul and that with his spell around it? No way he can carry a kid. Geno meanwhile only has a soulshard so he isnt healthy enough to carry a kid either. Leaving only Reaper as an option.

Okay that was it. :D

Haha! Omg I keep forgetting this is smth I can think about! Usually it's not my scene so it might not cone up much in-stiry but it IS how I picture the cast having kids in this one, so!!! We're diving in!!

Like u said, those boys are adopting hehe-

With Dream and Blue it's a bit hard, because I think that Dream would be really really worried about Blue the entire time. Like, terrified his magic would accidentally trigger the whole Twin thing. But, ultimately, yeah, probably Blue! Dream *would* get too restless, and Blue rlly does deserve to be pampered hehe- (I just think Blue would have to really really talk Dream into it. Dream does NOT want to be like his mother anymore.)

Killer and Ccino... let's go with a yes on Killer's soul situation, so Ccino would be their only option. But, like you said, it would be ages before they even thought about discussing the idea, let alone actually having a kid.

Ohhh yeah. I see Horror and Crop as the ones least likely to have kids (as u said, long Distance relationship, but also they just have to much on their plates? They're practical guys and focus on their work and existing families first. Plus, someone has to be the cool uncles to their nieces and nephews!) But definitely Crop. Especially because Horror is pretty low on natural magic as-is and even though his soul is healthy, his body might not even be able to form a firm ecto, let alone anything safe to harbor a forming soul. (Unlike Ccino, Horror was born that way, and the injury didn't help lmao-)

Cross and Lust? I think they'd both regularly get baby fever, but neither of then would be ready to settle down for a *while* in that way, so I think they'd push off the question until years later. Then when it comes up, they 'fight' over it. Insisting that they should carry- I think they'd end up choosing Cross though! As much as Lust seems like the more convenient option, as he's not a knight, Cross is just built different and insists that if anything goes wrong he wants to be the one it happens to. Which, ofc, leads to him doing training whilst in the early stages until someone (probably Killer or Dust) notices he's a little off and then Cross admits he's got a soulling. He did not expect to immediately get horrified looks (because they were fighting someone with a lil guy inside them, not because he has a lil guy) or to immediately get ushered out of training and to his room because??? Idiot??? What were you thinking??? Cross is the worst at staying off his duties, but his brother's have him covered, thank god-

And yep, put perfectly! Reaper is so genuinely the only option! It leads to some odd interactions, since Reaper can't exactly stop being King, but he manages shockingly well and has Geno there to help him (and probably later on Dust, since Night isn't about to leave Dust out of that due to work-) And. I like to think these three in particular have multiple kids perhaps, Kane and then another, and it's kinda a running joke that Reaper's the one hauling them around lmao- (Also very convenient! Because Reaper is the one with death magic in his soul, the kids are effectively immune to it! They were made from that stuff basically, so ofc they're fine!)

sorry sorry last time I'm talking about huskerdust tonight but does it fuck anyone else up knowing that Husk and Angel basically lived at the same time but were on opposite sides of the country. But also Husk went traveling. Like these two could have met while they were alive and wouldn't even know it. They didn't even know the other existed until they met at the hotel

Like I have. so many thoughts about this.

ALRIGHT NERDS it's reveal time. here's the fic i wrote for the rare pair exchange, the very first fic exchange i've ever participated in. it is the second-longest thing i've ever written and published for fandom, which is crazy.

Fandom: Mission: Impossible

Word count: 14,491

Pairing: Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt/William Brandt

SUMMARY:

Ilsa "dies" and has to find a place to lay low, outside of the narrative. There, she finds Will. He's spent years trying to make a home there, unsuccessfully—until now. Meanwhile, with the ever-watchful eyes of the Entity trained on him, Ethan pines desperately, wordlessly, so hard he might as well put down roots and call himself an evergreen.

Written for the lovely and prolific @brendaonao3; i DID geek out a little when i got the assignment, ngl. big fan of your top gun stuff!

Had a moment of listening to music I liked back when I was a teenager (& still like) and having a whole. Realization . That I like myself as I am now sooooo much better than I like teenage me. And I started thinking about Why.

There's a lot to it I'm pretty sure, & most of it centers around the fact that I just... didn't really know who I was as a person. I didn't really have hobbies outside of what I did in school (aka orchestra) and like. Video games + anime. I did creative writing in middle school, but dropped off in high school for... some reason? I still made original characters and played around with them a lot, but it was mostly just in drawing and thinking about them. I never actually *wrote*, and I in fact didn't get back into creative writing at all until I was 23 years old. I was someone who had spent so long hiding behind others and just doing what I was told that I just... didn't have any real direction. I didn't know what I even *wanted*. I thought I knew, but in hindsight, I can confidently say that I didn't. I was just an insecure teen drifting through life and not thinking about things beyond what was immediately in front of me. Which is pretty standard for teenagers I guess, but not all of them. Not at all.

Compared to now, where I have Many hobbies, most notably being writing. As I am now, I am just Intrinsically a writer. And it's weird to remember that I wasn't even really *writing* before 5 years ago (besides text rps, which did a lot for developing my writing skill! But still aren't a replacement for writing individually). As a teen, I wasnt into dnd, I was incredibly out of shape, & I was a lot less aggressive and focused. I was the type to avoid sports!!! I hated them!!!! But as I am now, I Love biking and can easily bike for an hour+ no problem (I remember being a teen and trying to go on just 10 minute bike rides in the summer and just *dying* from it), & I love working out. I wanna be strong!!! I LOVE being strong!!! And I was an absolute mess with things like public speaking & working in groups, vs now where I can do an impromptu presentation no problem & I'm often the unofficial leader in group projects bc im typically the one who does the organizing and allotments of work. A side effect of working as a supervisor and then assistant manager for so long. I have a lot more confidence in my perceptions and judgements, & I have the self-assurance to assert these things. And this is only really the tip of the iceberg with all the differences.

I just feel like an entirely different person, almost. The cores are the same, or at least damn near similar, with the things I want out of life & the sorts of things I enjoy, but it's like. The difference between finding a random rock off the side of the road & then that rock when it's been sanded and carved and decorated to be something individual and unique. You look at them side by side and it's something dull vs something shiny and intricate. The origins can't be ignored and dismissed, & I certainly would never resent younger me for just doing the best with what I knew at the time. But it's just astounding how much difference time and experience will have for growing and developing as a person. Things I consider integral to my personhood weren't even thoughts in my mind back then. We are almost entirely different people.

Hi! I have read the chapters so far, haha, but Serving the Serpent? (Regarding the folder ask game)

I have legitimately shared so many snippets from the chapter I'm currently working on (chapter 10). So. Why I don't I share some of my plans for the future instead?

A paragraph or two, copied straight from my notes:

The scene starts with Isen fretting over his schedule and asking Briar to meet with his cabal, to inform them that he was having a scheduling issue, unpredicted, and that he might be unable to keep up with his regular meetings, blah. (Basically his heat is starting early because he’s spending so much time around a female that he likes). She doesn’t realise this at the time. Then the sluttiness begins.

And more detailed:

I think the original idea vs what I have now has changed enough that how the smut proceeds needs to change. Briar still isn’t 100 percent comfortable with that stuff so I think there’ll be a scene where Isen sits Briar down and tells her: 

- there’s about to be a bunch of changes and I don’t think you’ll be comfortable with them 

- but so you know what to expect, here’s what will change 

- for the next 3-4 weeks he’ll be dining alone and not attending business meetings 

- there will be a lot of guests coming to and from his room, but Briar isn’t expected to interact with them, they’re not there for business reasons 

- isen won’t be leaving riverreach much, and will probably spend a lot more time in his room 

- during the day briar can deliver foods and do some spot cleaning, but mostly, she can spend time with lockwood studying, she won’t be needed much for assistant purposes 

- finally at the end of the expectations, isen spits out the reason, that he’s going into heat, that he won’t be able to focus on regular things, and that his behaviour might (will definitely) change a bit too. He apologises in advance. And warns her that she can always leave if she needs to, that he’ll be doing some things that she might be considered scandalous, if she’s not comfortable with PDA.  

Oh, and lucky last. What I wrote in the original idea of how they finally get around to the fun stuff:

Sexual escapades ensue when girl finds dude’s constant whore-mongering impossible to ignore (their beds share the same wall? However that’s phrased). She touches herself while listening one night.  

Eventually naga dude catches her, (supreme sense of smell noticing arousal) and asks if she’d like to serve him like that. Porn ensues.  

[ltstrikesback]

Last night before going to bed I had three important thoughts that made me think I should jot them down. But then I thought no, how could I forget these. I won’t.

Picture me, the next day, unable to remember the even the general topic of the thoughts.

[imunbreakabledude]

in a world where Maeve retires/gets a normal job after losing her powers as it happens in canon: she buys a bar and becomes Sam Malone.

in a world where Maeve never has powers in the first place: she runs a small local diner and becomes Luke Danes.

8, 13, 15 for Tau, my dear favorite ice cream flavor <3

Aw hell yeah mint ice cream!! my favorite is cookie dough but mint is sooo good TAU TIME TAU TIME TAU TIME!!

8. Would you trust them to look after: A small child? A houseplant? Your sandwich?

Lmao the problem with Tau looking after anything is that his attention span is not so good. If the small child was in a relatively safe area and Tau didn't have plans to go anywhere, I think I could probably trust him with one...? At least even a small child could get Tau's attention by making noise, so if something needed doing, he'd probably shift his attention back to the kid. You'd probably need to attach reminders to them somehow (things like, "Do not improve" etc.) to be safe though. A houseplant would probably die under Tau's solitary care, unless it was very hardy. He would probably forget the sandwich almost immediately, so as long as no one else is trying to swipe it, that one is probably safe! Again, a note here might be crucial if you expect him to actually keep an eye on it and not experiment on it.

13. Talk about a physical trait of theirs that doesn't get much visibility/attention.

I have a hard time deciding exactly how much of Tau is mechanical and how much is flesh, but one of the few things I have decided on that I really love is that he has a mechanical heart. I love the idea of things like someone hugging him and being a little surprised to hear a sound in his chest (what is he, anyway, everyone wonders? Were they really expecting a noise at all?) BUT hearing absolutely no fluctuation in the beat and it's really more of a ticking, anyway, is somehow both comforting and unnerving...Artificial Heart by Jonathan Coulton is on his playlist, by the way :3

15. What is something they struggle with on a daily basis?

I'd love to default to 'attention span' but that seems cheap since I already mentioned it (and his struggle with ethics is probably best left for silly chats and doodles), so I'm going to go with personhood! He has to come a long way before recognizing himself as an individual! My very favorite quirk about Tau is that he emulates Dottore and other segments when he's conflicted, critiquing himself or others, thinking through a problem, etc., and he gets really lost in it (he's caused damage and injury before without meaning to). It takes a long time for him to stop doing it entirely. Learning to call himself and have others call him by 'Tau' helped immensely.
