Part 4/ ???

part:: 1 :: 2 :: 3 :: 4 :: 5 :: 6 :: 7

Cato Sicarius x F!Reader

CW: Rough angry sex, Cato being an emotionally constipated bully, mild descriptions of violence and injuries

Summary: Cato discovers a new emotion. it's horny! he's mad about it.

word count: 2,325 (I wrote this the same day as part 3, my boyfriend keeps being like 'Why Cato though??', the fool. he cannot understand the fleas.)

You decide that you must have angered the God Emperor of mankind. Maybe you used his name as a curse one too many times. Maybe he was upset with you because you failed his son Lord Guilliman in this mission. Either way, you certainly were being punished.

You lay on your back, staring at the rock ceiling above you, in the dust and dirt, drenched in other people's blood, in a once pretty gown now torn to the knees. And Cato was just sitting there, smiling for some reason.

“My neck feels fine.” you mumble. He has been actually quite concerned with you having some sort of spinal injury from the thunderhawk crash. You didn't want to think about why that made your stomach flutter a little. You did not want to have positive feelings about this ass hat of a man who got you into this whole mess in the first place.

Cato glances over at you, pursing his lips into a line. “Hmph. fine, let me look you over first though.” He says gruffly, scooting to lean over you. Blood rushes to your face as he gets a bit close, touching your neck and carefully moving your head. Your mind flashes with the image of him over you protecting you from the shots of the rebel guards, and then again of him shielding you during the crash. “You're okay- I got you”- Even through the speakers of his helmet, him saying that did something to you you did not want to unpack, especially not while he currently was gently inspecting your neck and shoulders, inches from your face.

He grunts. “I guess you seem okay, from what I can tell, but if you feel weird or you have random nerve pains, tell me- why do you look like that?” He says, sitting up and frowning in confusion at you. You frown back and sit up, “Look like what?” You force out, clearing your throat and trying to cool off. He narrows his eyes. “You were all pale, now you're all flushed.” he says, almost seeming suspicious.

He looks you up and down, eyeing your bruises and scrapes. “You should still lay down. And tell me if you're dizzy or something. You might have internal injuries and I can't know.” He says with an annoyed sigh. You knit your brow at his tone. “Are you... mad at me...?” You ask incredulously. He rolled his eyes. “Yeah. How come you're so breakable? If you'd have worn some sort of armor, I wouldn't need to think about any of this. You are a being a huge pain in my ass.” He says exasperatedly.

You shake your head in disbelief. “I'm sorry that I'm not a superhuman mutant soldier like you?” You say annoyed. He huffs. “You could at least make my job easier and try a little harder not to die.” He stands and walks to the entrance of the cave, and if you didn't know better you'd call it sulking, the way he was sitting there with his arms crossed. By the throne he is insufferable.

You sigh and start gathering up some brush and leaves, then use it as a pillow so you can lay on your side facing away from him. “You are impossible.” You mumble. “I've done nothing to you, but you hate me for things I can't control.” You continue, crossing your arms and curling up a bit. He groaned. “You're the reason I had to even come here, I should be fighting on front lines right now, taking down Guilliman's enemies- but no, I'm babysitting you” He said, raising his voice a little.

You've just about had it with this rude, cocky, useless man child of an Astartes. You sit up and turn to him, matching his tone and volume “Then just go!” You snap. “I'd probably have better odds without you running in head first and fucking things up anyway! Go, call the ship and go home.”

His face contorts. “You'd die without me and you know it-” he growls, voice lower.

“Like you'd care if I did, you just don't want to get in trouble-” You yell, raising your voice more as you reach the end of your patience.

“That's not true!” He retorts, outright glaring at you now.

You glower back. “Of course it is- you don't care if I live or die! You just care about how it looks if you fail your mission!”

He growls through grit teeth, “That's not- I do care!” He yells, standing and glaring down at you. “I don't want you to die here, even if you are doing your damnedest to make sure this shithole rock is your grave!”

You flinch back at his shouting and towering over you. But you narrow your eyes at him anyway. “Bullshit.” you say in a low voice. “You don't care about anyone but you, Cato.”

He looks like it's taking everything to hold back his temper from actually losing his control. “I do care about you, you stupid, breakable, insufferable woman!” He shouted now. “I don't know why, especially because you're being a huge fucking pain in the ass right now, but I feel sick thinking about leaving you here to die, and I hate seeing you all beat up like this, and by the golden throne I can't get the image of you getting kicked by that pompous asshole out of my head-” He audibly snaps his mouth shut, gritting his teeth again and looking away.

You stare at him, shocked, mouth hanging open a little. Holy shit. You did not know how to process this. You really thought he didn't care if you lived or died, but... was all that protective stuff just him? Not just him doing his forced duty to protect you? You feel color creep up your cheeks.

He frowns at you. “No, stop that- don't give me that look. It's not like that.” He says in an exasperated, almost frantic tone.

You knit your brow and flatten your mouth to a line. “It kinda sounds like it's like that-”

“No, it's not” He raised his voice again, “That's baseline human nonsense, I'm evolved higher than- than that” He says, looking disgusted. “If anything you're like an especially pathetic stray dog. I pity you, more than anything, really.” He grumbles, fists tight at his side as he turns around to look out of the cave again.

You scowl. “Seriously? A stray dog?” you snap, flushing again. Stupid, why would you think he actually cared any amount-

He growls in frustration, “Emperor damn you, that’s not what I-” He lets out a frustrated noise, stomping up to you and pulling you to your feet, holding you by the shoulders. “Do you exist purely to infuriate me, woman?! We’re you created as a personal demon for me specifically?!” He snarls, teeth gritted and face holding back rage.

You scowl up at him still, “Funny, I was just asking myself what I did to upset the Emperor enough to be cursed to be stuck with you-!” You snap back, frustration at it’s peak.

He snarls, “Warp take you, you stupid, vapid, useless-” he snaps his mouth closed and grimaces, then does the last thing you expect. He pulls you off the ground by your shoulders and smashes his mouth to yours in what might be the worst, roughest kiss you ever have experienced. Your eyes widened and for a split second you could only freeze, stunned, but that quickly gave way to you melting in his hands, kissing him back.

Your back smacks against the stone wall of the cave- your head cushioned by Cato’s hand- and you can barely keep up with the sudden shift. You’re still so mad but for some reason it feel like the only thing you can do to stop being angry is fuck this stupid asshole until your mind goes blank. This stupid, hot, protective-

You gasp a bit as you hear the sound of plates hitting stone as Cato discards the more in the way pieces, mouth still holding yours hostage in an angry, needy kiss. He breaks away with a gasp just a second to growl at you, “Strip-” before capturing your lips again. You groan involuntarily, a shiver running right through you. You break and gasp in air, then frown. “Cato-” you say with a touch of exasperation. He frowns and glances down, realizing he has you completely pinned to the wall, preventing you from undressing. He grumbles, “Useless woman, I have to always do everything for you-” He huffed angrily.

His hand- now free of it’s gauntlets for your safety- snakes up your thigh and under your dress, finding the edge of your panties and swiftly ripping them off. Actually ripping them. “Damn it Cato-” you snap in annoyance as he inspects the remains of your lacey underwear. He chuckles at your annoyed scowl, tossing the scraps aside. “By the Throne, that angry face- like a petulant kitten” he rumbles a heady chuckle as he hooks your leg over his arm. You blush and gasp, torn between angry and being putty in his hands. “It makes me want to torture you more just so you keep making that pouting face-” He smirked, eyeing you like prey. You frown, biting your lip. “Insufferable ass” you mumble as you grab his face in your hands and kiss him hard again- properly this time, stupid marine doesn’t even know how to kiss.

He growls into your mouth, mimicking how you push your tongue behind his teeth. At least he’s a quick learner. You shiver again as you feel his other hand slip between your thighs, and groan into the kiss as he roughly runs his massive finger between your lips. He breaks the kiss again, grinning smugly at you. “Already so wet? If you had a crush on me, you could have just admitted it” he teases, making you somehow more annoyed and more horny. You catch his mouth again, taking your anger out on his tongue, and he groans and shifts your weight.

You feel something massive pressing against your entrance, and freeze. Holy throne, that can’t possibly- you gasp and see stars as he immediately hilts into you, grasping at his shoulders for anything to ground you. You can only make a strangled moan as he stretches you, gritting against the pain and pleasure. He actually frowns a bit, scrunching his brow. “Oh, uh, too fast…?” he asks sincerely. By the golden throne you are going to strangle this stupid man. “Yeah-” you groan out, and he sighs and holds still, letting you adjust. “Seriously? Is every part of you so weak and breakable?” he says like it’s the biggest inconvenience in the world to not actually impale you.

You scowl at him, but it doesn’t have the same bite when you’re shuddering around him, dripping and panting and by the throne he was so hard- you inadvertently moan and shiver, and he takes that as good enough to start bucking up into you. “F-finally-” he grunts, but again, the bite was softened by his shuddering gasps. “throne you’re tight-” He groans, curling around you and bracing his elbow against the wall by your head, his own head resting on your shoulder as he bounces you.

Your mind starts to go blank, all you can feel is him stretching you around him over and over, all you can hear is your mixed panting and moaning and the wet slapping of his hips meeting yours. He picks up the pace and inhales a sharp breath through his teeth, “Fuck-” he gasps, lips attacking your neck. In between giving you hickies- damn it Cato, you have shit to do and now you’re going to have to cover those- he starts panting your name in a gravely, heady voice, which wipes out your complaints immediately. You gasp his name in return, desperately rocking your hips against his thrusts as you feel your body start to coil with heat and flutter around him. “C-Cato-” you groan, “I’m close-”

He growls at that, and straight up bites your shoulder, making you moan and shiver. “F-Finally-” he growls, “You take so f-fucking long-” he grunts, a hand slipping between your legs and finding your clit roughly- albeit with a lot of fumbling and cursing on his part, he had to actually look down to get there- but he smashes his thumb in rough circles on it, making you cry out and see stars. You don’t even have the wherewithal to be annoyed with him leaving more marks on you.

He rumbles against your neck as he bites and sucks up and down it, “Come.” he demands, “Come for me, I got you- let go-” he growls between love bites. You’re almost mad at yourself that you comply, not logically liking being ordered around but when he says I got you like that you melt anyways. Your mind goes blank and it’s all you can do to just hold onto him as you come, soaking him and shaking, hands desperately grasping at the back of his armor. “Cato- Cato-” you gasp weakly.

He growls again and slams into you faster, and in the back of your sex drunk mind you dread how you’re going to feel tomorrow. He grunts your name, then catches your lips in a kiss again, shoving his tongue into your mouth as he moans and hilts into you- well, as much as actually fits- and you moan with him as he thrusts a couple more times, hard, and feel him come in you in a few jerking motions. He nearly drops you, breaking the kiss to lean his head back, groaning, then stumbles back against the wall, trying to catch his breath. You try and catch yours too, mind hazy and body weak.

Cato chuckles a little, smiling down at you. “Mmf… Guess your squishy, weak body is useful for something after all.” he grumbles breathlessly.

By the holy golden throne of the Emperor, you are going to kill this man.

Question, is it me, or does Universe(2015-2016) Viktor's lore feel kinda of...rushed, in a sense? Like, they didn't read through the lore he had to decide what stays what remains and decided to just, toss it out altogether and toss together all the ideas they had in draft to turn into a cohesive enough story because they didn't know what to do with him when the OG story was tossed in the can in favour of a blank canvas. Just so they could get another champ slotted into the current version of Zaun as soon as possible while fitting into the archetype of of Tech-Priest inspired Cyborg Scientist. Like it feels like they never went through his old lore to figure out what worked, what could be very easily translated into current Zaun, and what elements to drop like the elements strictly related to the Institute of War. To be honest, he's not the only one, I find that some champs' lore was rewritten for the better, like Poppy, while others feel like their rewrites were rushed out as soon as possible in time for the next Season for the new players. If they gave the champs a rewrite at all. Because, I've been reading through both and just, I don't see why they had to change it completely. He could've been so easily kept intact to what he was while sticking around in Zaun as we know it today. He still could've been with the College of Techmaturgy and honestly, I felt that would've added another layer to current day Zaun compared to what we have today by showing that even if they're not on as prestigious a standing as Piltover, Zaun is still a place just as advanced, to the point where it was the place that gave us, pretty one of the most intelligent champs in the game lore wise. If they really wanted a enemies/frenemies dynamic with Jayce they could've just made him, a transfer student of sorts to Piltover Academy while still keeping Viktor with the College. His situation with Blitzcrank could've gone nearly pretty much completely unchanged altogether. He could've remained the same personality wise regardless, I feel that would've helped keep him cohesive across the board. Especially since as of current, it feels like since 2016 if he by some miracle does appear in Riot's content, it's like someone's continuously flicking the light switch between being the typical Evil to Morally Grey Mad Scientist TM to being a Robotic Saint so fast that it's kind of a pain to properly pin down his characterization. That is if he isn't left in the Neglected Champs Bin altogether until the next time Riot remember he exists. To the point that the moment you think you have Universe Viktor's character pinned down, all the sudden they realize a new thing he's in that contradicts what they gave you before they released the thing and now you're left confused again. Sometimes, even within the same timespan as seen with LoR because the Viktor in the comics for Vi and Jayce, doesn't completely feel like the Viktor you even play as. It feels like he's written by completely different people working off a prompt a majority of the time. When, there wasn't a issue with his personality to begin with, and he still would've been compelling, if not more compelling today in a world where mental health and the issues involving the problematic side of Academia is actually more in the forefront today than it was in 2010. It wasn't that he had a problem back then, it's likely more than not that he was just, ahead of his time, and written in a time period where neither topic weren't as talked about because it didn't have a chance to make a wave on the internet yet. Plus it would've made things A LOT better down the line writing him because then he wouldn't have been on such an odd standing that the writers keep flip flopping all over the place writing him.

His goal could've remained the same completely, just with a mild rewrite to write out the Institution and just simply made him a man who wanted to preserve HIS work by doing that work on HIMSELF due to the trauma from Stanwick, before pioneering it to enough of an extent to where he could safely help others. And that a major chunk on why a lot of people have some animosity towards him is because he's just, difficult and kind of intimidating to read for a lot of people, in combination with the rep he gets from the more fanatical Acolytes and the Piltovan side, and that the more antagonistic misassumptions of him spread and got flanderized overtime. When in reality compared to the rumours he's actually just, a decent guy, it's just that he's just going through shit and has a hard time with people a majority of the time. Only that, others have a hard time even approaching him to see that. There was just, so much potential, and so many a solution already that didn't include rewriting the entire character. But I think a major reason to everything is that they took a change that should've been implemented over the long term to begin with and tried to rush it out as soon as possible for the sake of rewriting and expanding on the world building to give us something new and more expansive. Especially once the game became popular and picked up enough steam to go from what was an indie MOBA into a game that all the sudden ended up with some really big shoes to fill. When, I feel in hind sight, they should've taken their time to readapt everyone in such a way that they could've preserved and refined the pre-existing champs overtime, keeping what to the old fans was still familiar and keeping to their original character in one way or another, while still gradually shifting Runeterra into the open world it is today.

I don't know, just, looking at a lot of the oldies, Viktor included, I feel like they're all victim to what is in hindsight, a giant rush job. Especially considering he's one of the champs that got the shortest end of the stick out of a lot of this. I mean, the most love he's got is from Arcane, but Arcane Viktor is the Viktor specific to Arcane's world, and Arcane's version of Runeterra. He is his own separate character isolated to his own story and should honestly for the most part be treated as such, even as far as I'm concerned and that's the rendition that is personally to me, one of my favourite renditions of Viktor. Strictly talking in game Viktor. Riot did him pretty dirty.

Yeah you're right that the 2016. Universe lore reads like the people tasked with "updating" the og 2011. lore didn't truly understand it, nor did they understand the meaning of elements they introduced in the new version.

Like you mentioned, Zaun was left with having nothing in terms of academic institutions, and as consequence the world feels much smaller because the class conflict, from both cities having their own versions, got squeezed into a reductive cliché with Piltover-Zaun where one side has everything and the other one is just a garbage dump. It doesn't help that the current garbage dump (Zaun) was representing east Berlin, eastern and south-eastern Europe, where I live. It reinforces the silent idea in popculture that people from here do not achieve any academic heights. It reinforces the stereotype that Ekko must choose his family and stay in Zaun, thus not having any access to higher education because all of it is in rich Piltover.

But Riot wanted to forcefully thread this class-conflict into every champion from this region, and this was the easiest way to do it - nuke anything Zaun had and leave them with just envy and hunger for what Piltover took from them.

Another problematic element in 2016. Universe lore that has no place being in Viktor's motivations or behaviour, is that "removing free will for their benefit" moment. In 2011. release lore, Viktor (alongside other students) created Blitzcrank, a sentient being with literal artificial free will, and Viktor fought tooth and nail to try and keep credit for his creation. So for starters, it would be antithetical for him to hate free will (he has one himself). Removing free will is not a morally questionable thing to do, it's straight up evil from the perspective of a person you're trying to save, because you're killing what they even are. But clearly the people doing the lore update deemed this appropriate position to plop Viktor into in order to give him something Jayce could oppose, why, I have no idea. Maybe they didn't understand just how downright morally deplorable this is and how it makes Viktor a terrible person, or maybe they indeed wanted him to fully read as a terrible person who begs for sympathy through the unfortunate events that happened in his life. But what unfortunate events? In the 2016. Universe lore, he got expelled exactly due to his own actions, his attempts at removing free will. I'd say that was deserved.

People love the short story with Naph and point to it as proof that Viktor is a good guy, and in principle I agree that a story of this type is fitting. It's the details that make it unsalvageable yet again - he gives a child mind-altering drugs (children have parents or guardians for a reason) and that nullifies any good advice or kindness he showed to the kid. There's also the frankly inexplicably stupid use of... literally rusted tools to do surgery on his own flesh. ??? He would die of infection. Come on.

Arcane Viktor on the other hand has the opposite problem - he's forced into augmenting (whichever form it takes) due to his physical condition, and this is a completely different character motivation. He also (it looks like) doesn't rely on science and technology at all anymore, turning into a traditional mage with metal as simply a conduit/material he uses.

Like you said, the topic of mental health in Academia is now more in the light than it was in 2011, but unfortunately it looks like large corporations still don't deem it "interesting" or "profitable" enough so they replace it with something more often seen. But it's an important topic regardless, and I still like the release lore for a reason.

When Rito was updating lores from 2014. to 2016, it really did look like a rushed job, you may be right.

Hi! Just for your input on a definitely hypothetical scenario that I would never write anything about… Someone has locked c!Dream and c!Quackity in a room together for many months, without weapons, and neither of them are able to die. How are they dealing with their new life?

uhhhhh.miserably ... ? 😂

honestly given the death immunity i think c!dream takes this as exposure therapy. he is sooooooooo not afraid. there'd be quite some beating each other up ifl ... on c!Dream's front, there's the fact that he's Not Scared, c!Quackity is a little pussy, he's completely helpless in a real fight, etc. and c!Quackity is a fucking idiot picking fights he can't win (except sometimes he does, because he hits on some button in Dream's head that makes him freeze up or play dead.) there'd also probably plenty of attempted avoiding and ignoring each other, because honestly. they can't really stand each other, LOL.

the thing with q and dream here, i think, that is obviously very different from daedalus + sam and dream's whole deal is that ... there's just not much they want out of each other. quackity didn't Change suddenly to dream, necessarily--he's never been close to the guy, his introduction to quackity really pivots pretty quickly to him siding with schlatt, who we know dream did not think positively of at all and brought up to quackity during the mexican lmb debates, and nothing after that really helps his impression of the guy at all. at best, quackity is stupid--at worst, he's someone who creates fights that he can't follow through with at a frankly alarming rate, he's someone with a random ass bone to pick with dream and won't hesitate to Start Some Bullshit to make it dream's problem, and he's a completely incompetent leader that would rather seek conflict that blows up in everyone's face than compromise. obviously the torture is an escalation of all of that, but as far as he's concerned quackity was never someone to really draw close to and always someone that had a chip on his shoulder and too little common sense for his own good. he's got no reason to try and understand why quackity did Alluvthat or anything--it's quackity! who gives a shit! fuck that guy! on a similar note, while obviously quackity is more parasocial about dream than the other way around, quackity isn't trying to pick dream's brain and everything he actually wants from dream won't come to him in a room where they're forced to spend time together as "equals" in a certain forced physical sense. he doesn't give a fuck about what dream thinks, he doesn't care about how dream feels, all that matters is 1) the power dream has both by being dream (tm) and a sort of figurehead on the server and the literal power he had to get in quackity's way back in the day, neither of which really do much for either of them at the minute with zero power over their current circumstances, and 2) revenge on the guy because he fucking hates him and because he is scared of dream fucking with him/his countrywhat have you (in large part because, yknow, of the torture thing) only there's zero progress to be made on that front either in the situation that they've been forced in. i don't see aaaaaaany kind of emotional realizations about the other one really happening because Who Gives A Shit if dream/quackity has feelings, Not Me is a sentiment kind of shared here--at most it's knowledge that can be used against the other, make fun of them or whatever, but even any satisfaction from that would be pretty dulled by the whole stuck together in a get along shirt thing.

ultimately i think they'd hate the whole thing, come out the other side hating the other guy more, fight some ignore each other even more because honestlyneither of them can stand each other like, at all LOL. worst fucking roommates arc ever

#LOL theyd just be sooooooo annoyed #my asks !!

Growing up I was an avid reader of fantasy/sci fi books. My mom was of course the instigator, as she has read (and will continue to read) far more books than I ever did. However she was never one to be a hoarder, and honestly she loves and uses ebooks so much, as well as the library.

The point is many years ago she decided to purge her collection. Now I only visited her on weekends, and in college there were certainly long stretches where I didn't get a chance to visit at all. So one day I return to find the bookshelves barren of so many of my favorites!

So I did the only reasonable thing and took all the books I could carry lol. Books I loved, books I never read but sounded interesting, book of her or my favorite author, all were fair game. I think the saddest (exaggerated) I ever was was when I found one of my favorite trilogies was missing the first book. To be fair tho I had a fun few years going through used book stories looking for it. Had to be the hardcover!

I've hoarded these books for many years, but they have lived in boxes. I no longer read as much, but I am still a collector at heart, and it brings me joy to have my favorite or nostalgic series in physical form.

HOWEVER.

I am currently undergoing a purge of Stuf(tm). Stuff I don't love, stuff I don't use, stuff I don't fit in anymore, and yes, stuff that includes books I will never read and don't really have emotional attachment to.

Terry Pratchett stays. Wolfwalker (my first book!! well, first "real" book that wasn't a book for children or young adults) stays. Tanya Huff stuff I never read goes. And so on and so forth.

And now we are at the absolute conundrum of the situation. What. On earth. Should I do. With series I loved until the writing went off the rails. Specifically the Wheel of Time series and the Wizards First Rule series. I still love the first x number of books! A lot! But each of those series got to a point where I stopped enjoying reading them, before the series ended.

The collector in me would cry so many tears if I don't keep all the books. But honestly? I'm kinda leaning toward just keeping the ones I DO like? I'm still keeping SO MANY books (lets not even get started on my manga collection which far outstrips the number of books), and these are HARD COVER. I love hard covers lol, but they are big and heavy.

tldr I love books and it's hard to give them up.

#personal opinions ahead #i need a bigger place #more bookshelves #but until i get that in boxes they will remain #the purge is nice tho #means im ready to give things up #partially to make room for other things but that is life and all that jazz #the question remains tho #give them to the library or to a used bookstore #leaning to the library ofc but i'd hate if they couldn't take them and had to get rid of them

CHAPTER 2 RAMBLES

It DOES have spoils for chap 2 so like,,, maybe read that first maybe i like shamelessly promoting my own fics SUE ME

Oh also bonus deleted scene at the end so ooooo you wanna read my infodump so baaaaaaaad

UNDER THE CUT BC ITS REALLY LONG ENJOOOOOOOOOOY

okay okay man i just. There's a lot of smol lil moments im so proud of that i just wanna gush about so here's my time to gush about it, in no particular order im just gonna go through the chapter and make comments as i go so uh. Director's commentary i guess LOL

Oh man so so so. I'm gonna avoid posting any spoilers for future chapters but. In both chapter 1 and this chapter I started setting up a future plot point. I had this planned for MONTHS. And idk when the reveal will drop- currently thinking chapter 4? Who knows but that's my current plan. BUT. but. but. BUT. There's a plot point I've been alluding to and foreshadowing in both chapters... and I don't think anyone's caught on to it yet >:3c And i cannot WAIT to finally get to The Thing(tm) and FINALLY be able to point at EVERY LINE in chapters 1+2 that were leading up to it like "iVE BEEN PLANNING THIS FROM THE START, GO BACK AND REREAD, ITS BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING!" Again i wont spoil what the thing is but I'm gonna be so excited when we get there. I'm also curious if anyone will catch what it is yet... >:3ccc

Oh my God. The scene of Quickman and Dr. Light actually sitting down and trying to find ways to help Quick was so cathartic to me. Yes I want Light to be a flawed character and trust me we're gonna SEE those flaws in coming chapters, but I really just. Wanted him to genuinely try to help these bots. Like this is a conversation I had with a friend from over a YEAR ago, so it's so satisfying to finally get to make the closure I wanted from this!!

This fic is a unique challenge for me!! Like on one hand, I want to make Quickman abrasive and confrontational- want him to be the "problem" bot which is why so many people give up on him so early... but on the other hand, I want his actions to be understandable. Like yeah he's a jerk but he's more often than not kinda right to be pissed at their situation. I want him to be a relatable and realistic protag, not just some dick who's a jerk to everyone for no reason. I really hope I got that across in this fic... Yeah he's gonna start at his worst and slowly soften up but I hope I hit a good balance of asshole vs righteously upset

"He sat down, bouncing his leg restlessly." <- This bad bot can fit so much undiagnosed audhd in him

Terms like "cycling vents" as a robot tie-in for breathing was something I picked up from my time in the Transformers fandom!!! I picked up a lot of mech related terms from TF that'll be used a lot in this series which'll be fun to point out down the line. But yeah Cybertronians gave me a good dictionary to describe robot master anatomy/mannerisms with!

"Would he have better odds destroying Ice or Cut? Probably Cut." <- You've heard of love at first sight now get ready for... whatever the fuck THIS is supposed to be

Oh man, Flash and Quick,,, I'll talk about them in a lil bit bc man i have so many thoughts about them, but I'll mention one thing for now: The scene where Quick and Flash banter before Flash goes with Time that first day? *Chefs kiss*, Idk why but this scene means a lot to me. Sets up a lot of small things. Flashman being more receptive to DRIP, Quickman being more vocally against it all, the way Flash is keeping things lighthearted... the way that unnerves Quick, because they've never been nice to each other before??? They. They mean so much to me. THIS IS THE NOT-SO-SUBTLE SHIT IM TALKING ABOUT I JUST WANNA BRING ATTENTION TO IT MAN,,,

OH CRASHMAN! I really love what I'm gonna be doing with Crash. Yeah I'm taking a bit of my own hc instead of just pulling his personality from the Archie comics but Crash is one of my favorite robot masters. I like to imagine him as someone who looks intimidating, but is actually quite shy and sweet once you get to know him. I also like to imagine him with a programming flaw that leaves him with some significant emotional disregulation- it can leads to sudden spikes of any emotion that are overwhelming and hard to deal with. Anger, sadness, joy, they can all spike with no warning and he really struggles to keep up with it.

One thing that I want as a recurring theme is that Crash is often written off as a "problem" case because of his unpredictable and occasionally violent outbursts, but Quick has always been someone who's understood Crash and always treated him kind and even helped him through some of his worse episodes. It's a big reason why Crash looks up to Quick and almost treats him like an older brother of sorts.

... I also just like this Quick and Crash scene since it shows Quick's softer side but yknowwwww >:3

OH one tiny detail im SO proud of is that Quick ALWAYS says "DWN RIP" instead of "DRIP"... but around Crash, he calls it DRIP, because he knows Crash wants to give this an actual try -> “… You want to go through with this DRIP thing, don’t you?”

Oh yeah I'll allow myself one very minor spoiler- Quick's bed being next to the window will be important for plot stuff later >:3 nothing major but like I'm just happy I thought abt it in chapter 1 and went "wAIT I CAN USE THIS FOR PLOT POINTS IN LATER CHAPTERS"

Cut hanging out with Time and Oil! This is mostly my personal bias towards those 3 bots, but I also want Cut to be closer to the two of em than most of the other DLN are. Also specifically Cut and Time's relationship will be semi-relevant in a later chapter... and I'll probably find a way to rope Oil in too LMAO

“You know, you and Time weren’t the easiest to work with at first, either...” <- This one's probably obvious but Cut's alluding to the fact that Time and Oil were more or less Wily bots from the get-go and VERY noncompliant and unhappy to be brought back to Light and re-made into Light bots >:3c

Cut giving Quick the mp3,,, I didn't call it an mp3 since it's 20xx and idk if they would call a music player an mp3 player in the future... i mean hell, its only 2025 and we already dont call anything mp3s anymore. But yeah its just an mp3 LOL-

Oh yeah and "Audials" instead of "Ears"! Another lingo I took from TF!

Yeah I originally wasn't gonna have Quick properly meet Cut yet but like. I liked adding the scenes I did to this chapter. I really wanted to give Quick and Cut just a few small moments like this before they really start to bond. Just- really want Cut to actually try and accommodate Quick instead of telling Quick what he wants. Really want to drive home the friends in "enemies to friends to lovers". They're still not friends yet ofc, but like, yknow, Cut's genuinely trying to be a friend. Let's see in future chapters if it works >:3c

Ngl I originally wanted to make Dr. Light's favorite genre Classic Rock instead of Rock and Roll but like. He did name his bots after the genre so it'd feel really weird changing his fav genre. Old ass man.

"Honestly? It was pretty funny to imagine Elec learning to play that cringe old man music." <- While I don't hc Elec as a Rock and Roll fan, I DO hc Elec goes nuts over, like, Stadium Rock and a lot of the rock that was popular in the 70s-80s

... I'm gonna be honest you guys. Idfk what genre I imagine Wily to listen to. Idk what band Quick was playing, and i definitely don't know what song was his trigger. I purposely kept it vague, so imagine whatever you'd like! My fiance made the joke that Wily probably likes early 2000s German Metal so like- if you want to imagine that, be my guest LMAO

I'm so proud of his flashback you guys. Guilty pleasure. Those who read my fics know I loooove my hurt comfort and I have a big guilty pleasure for sudden trauma flashbacks leading into panic attacks~ Yeah I'm coping with my own trauma dw about it~

I really wanted to play up just how fucking horrifying Doc Robot is, ESPECIALLY in the Archie comics. The fact that EVERY bot was vocally against it, to the point Quick tried to literally fight Breakman off to save himself??? And they were literally forced because they couldn't disobey programming??? And that Wily seemed to not care about doing that to his Seconds??? It's like... some of the worst we've seen Wily. He is usually written as someone who deeply cares for his own machines, so to see him do this to the Seconds was kinda insane. And like... I think I'm gonna play with this. This idea that Wily really mistreated his bots, and what that means for them going forward.

... Also drew a teensy bit from my own experiences as a system, hehe. Luckily our lives aren't the literal hell that's Doc Robot, but- sharing a brain, watching someone control your body, recognizing you're a part of a whole and not your own full person? Insane enough for me and my alters who have ALWAYS been parts of a whole, now imagine being a fully complete separate person suddenly shoved together with 7 other fully complete separate people? *Shivers*. I keep saying it but Doc Robot is peak plural horror to me and I hope I captured how chaotic and scary it was for Quick in that very short flashback.

Oh and being so overwhelmed by the trauma in the moment that Quick was in such an intense fight or flight that he accidentally destroyed something he genuinely enjoyed? And immediately regretting that? Ough,,, yeah,,, trauma is messy like that. I'm really proud of the heartbreak of it but y e a h. Trauma is. Messy.

AND AGAIN FLASH AND QUICK!!! I mean I don't think this is spoilers to say that Flash very clearly wants to be redeemed through this program, I feel that was very obvious even with his banter with Quick. I like to hc that Doc Robot really messed with Flash too, and he matured significantly after that. He's basically already given up on Wily, he's just not admitting that to anyone. He just wants him and his linemates to be safe, even if that means integrating into industrial functions.

OH THIS IS ALSO WHERE I PUT MY DELETED SCENE! I'll add that at the bottom- but basically Flash jokes about Quick being trans. Because yeah I'm adding trans!Quick to this fic because it's my fic and I do what I want~ But then I figured with everything else revealed in this chapter... ehhhh, pacing didn't feel right to mention it now. Not sure when I'll bring it up but I feel it'll be better pacing to mention it in a later chapter.

OH and Elecmaaaan~ So my original idea for this chapter was to end it after Quick and Elec do their race, spend the day together, and everything that comes with that. But with how long each scene got and how many scenes I added, I figured leaving on the race cliffhanger and covering their full scene together next chapter would be a better call.

I also just love Elec and Cut being such brothers. Cut's the """eldest""" but he also acts so immature that he gets perceived as "younger". Meanwhile Elec's the """youngest""" but gets appointed "leader" due to his more mature and cynical personality. They both look up to each other, and constantly argue over who has more authority in the DLN. I like to think Elec's the brains of the group, but Cut's the heart. We'll absolutely be exploring Cut's and Elec's relationship more in later chapters, especially their very conflicting feelings around Quick >:3

but i THINK thats all i wanted to ramble about!!! Here's the cut(HAH) scene that would've taken place while Flash is comforting Quick, before I tucked it aside and replaced it with what we DO see in chap 2:

��What I mean is… I think we can use this program to our advantage.” … Okay, Quick was officially interested. He slowly sat up, giving Flash his full attention. “I mean, just think about it.” Flash explained, “Sure, the government is going to be keeping super close eyes on us while this goes on, but… What happens when we trick everyone into thinking we’re ‘fully adjusted’? They can’t keep curfews and babysitters on us forever.” … Ohhhhhhh. Quick nodded, quickly seeing where he was going, “So we play nice, until they let their guard down.” “Exactly.” Flashman smirked at him, “Who’s to say we don’t just pretend to like whatever jobs they give us, then defect right back to Wily as soon as he shows his face again?” Quick cracked a smile… though it quickly fell as he thought about it further. Sure, it seemed nice in concept, but… “... They want us to be like them, though.” He explained, sighing, “They’re gonna try to make me something I’m not. Even- Even if I play along at first, I don’t know if I can keep at it for months. That’s not what I am.” Flashman stared at him for a few moments… before he huffed, rolling his eyes, “You’re so painfully trans.” Quick bristled at that, not expecting Flash to bring that up, “What the hell is that supposed to mean-?!” “Quick, no one’s asking you to be Quickwoman.” He answered, “You don’t have to change a fundamental part of what you are to pretend to like working on a fucking construction site.” Quick blinked, then growled at him, “Well making a weapon try to fit into an industrial job is changing a part of what I am.” “... Quickman. I’m a weapon too, ya dumbass.” Flash retorted, bluntly, “You may be the only trans one in our group, but literally all of us are weapons. You’re not special in that regard.” “So?” Quick challenged. “So,” Flash continued, accepting the challenge with a playful air to his tone, “If I can play nice- and if the rest of our line can play nice, even if it’s an act, then what’s your excuse? Or… are you saying you can’t handle it?”

Cut for the reason I listed above: I didn't think it was the best moment to reveal Quick being trans, but also... I just didn't like the way the convo was going. Felt a little too "muahaha we're both plotting >:3" rather than... Flash genuinely caring about Quick and trying to get him to give DRIP a genuine chance. Like it felt like too easy an out for Quick's concerns about changing what makes him him. So ended up replacing it with the scene we have in the fic! But I hope this was cool to see!

AHHHH thank you for letting me ramble!!! *Gives you cookie* pls have a cookie for getting this far. I'm just really happy with a lot of the small choices I made for this chapter and just- wanted to share it so maybe someone else could see the thought I put behind all of this 🥺

#All At Once fic series #OOUUUGH yeah this felt good to get off my chest #i hope my rambles are interesting 👉👈#i just. i just really care a lot abt this series and i just. really wanna share it with ppl. like a lot.

@misericordiis asked : 🔥🔥🔥🔥 get salty with it - Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. (bonus points if you include a topic <3)

The fires have been LIT there are four flames so I'm giving you four opinions oops

1) While the world is a sandbox when it comes to Chinese names, a basic grasp of the language and what kind of names are considered tacky is really necessary to make sure a native speaker (like, unfortunately, myself) doesn't cringe into the sun :') The amount of 如花 adjacent I've seen in my time online is...yeah it's a little. It's something. Naming conventions are different tbh like it might be fine to name an English person Belle Rose or smth but if somebody names their Chinese character "beautiful flower" like you could do it...but it's TACKY I PROMISE. Every time I talk about this I'm like it's like if you named your American character "Lampshade" in English like some things just don't work that way. The WORST case which made me think of this whole paragraph was a billion years ago somebody named their oc a character that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE like it was a "sound" word, like "ha" or "ding" or "brrr" and I think I blacked out just a bit. Anyway the "hot take" is that it's probably safer not to diy a Chinese OC name without doing research, and also probably safer to google the diy name to make sure it doesn't come up smth crazy (homonyms are also no joke ok) even after doing your research.

2) People should read more non-historical/xianxia/wuxia genres!!! Ok ok I get it read what you WANT but also!!! There are so many good moderns / scifis / horrors just sitting out there waiting like sparkling gems I PROMISE YOU.

3) I personally don't always subscribe to this philosophy (as I say not necessarily as I do, etc. etc.) but I think after being on this hellsite for 10 years the hot take is that in the rpc, sometimes the secret to sustaining a writing and ooc relationship through years and changing interests is to just try to be into what your friends are into. Yeah, I know, be yourself and don't make yourself consume content you don't want to consume - but at the end of the day, I think writing is collaborative, and it's not always going to be About Me. Likewise, it also shouldn't always be About Your Partner. Ideally I think we always hope to strike a balance where we are Both Having Fun with what we're doing together, but I also think that REALISTICALLY it's okay to have a little less fun with the Set Up of fandoms and stuff like that now and again because you like and get joy from and have fun with writing and interacting with the person themselves, regardless of their fandom or their muse. Smth smth sometimes it takes having something in common and smth smth sometimes it will not be your partner making the effort to have something in common with YOU so sometimes if you w a n t to maintain a relationship whether that's IC or OOC in a certain way you gotta try to have something in common with them. Sounds complicated I KNOW.

4) In the ideal world, you SHOULD be able to renegotiate your connections page. Let me preface by saying that this isn't about MY current situation (hi mains and exclusives, I'm twirling my hair and blowing kisses at you, you are all absolutely Iconique and have shaped my writing experience on this site) but just sort of like the thoughts I've built up across the years. For me, before I add mains/exclusives, I consider many aspects. Such as whether our muse portrayals are compatible (usually they are if we're talking about it), how interconnected our development and universe is (again, usually very connected if we're talking about it), and how we match as people and writers. My mains/exclusives are all people I feel like I Really Talk (tm) to, who are dear friends and also roughly on the same page/wavelength as me regarding where we want to take our muses, and whose pace and muse regarding activity is also the same as mine. I think if at any point the arrangement falls out of sync in a drastic way, we should be able to talk about it and see if our goals still align, because people grow and change and so I'm sure muses and plots kind of morph too, and if they grow in different directions and there's nothing we can really do about it, then like...we need to be able to reassess our situation analytically and maturely. But yeah - I just think that it shouldn't hurt a friendship if your WRITING goals no longer align, you know?

#misericordiis #ooc : who was that shape in the shadows? whose is the face in the mask?#((bc im smoller my salt is more concentrated ajfdkl;JKFLSDAJLFDF))

Liza's School Briefs 1 Review (1/2)

School Briefs 1 saved me from my reading slump, thank u School Briefs 1.

I actually did read a ton these past few weeks, both long fics I've been chipping away at and my physical TBR, and I feel like reading this book with the intention of writing some kind of review was what finally booted my brain back into book mode (hi alliteration). If I can finish my current read by my next bookstore visit I am picking up the second one so fast !!

It's been a minute since I typed up a full, actual book review, so this might be even more disorganized than my usual word salad. I am reaching back for those bookstagram skills but the arms of memory are not quite long enough 😔 I did stick a lot of page tabs in this book to help me out, because old habits die hard, or they don't die at all, but page tabs are pretty and I'm one of those people who can't write in my books, even the ones I intend to keep. Idk, I just can't do it </3 Also do you know how difficult it was to not stage a full 2020 era bookstagram photo for this post. Do you know.

Overall, I really enjoyed this! It was cute, and the illustrations were so <3 <3 There were definitely some things I could live without (mostly comments from Mineta and Midnight, which are def also present in the main series, but I feel like they were even more over the top in this book?? Like??? I genuinely found myself grimacing at times while reading, it was very uncomfy). Also, Uraraka, Tsu, and Yaoyorozu's sidequest, while incredibly cute, was definitely... ig a 'the girls that get it get it, and the girls that don't don't' moment and I did not get it. Why were we so obsessed with underwear in this book. ANYWAY ON TO THE TABS.

Starting off strong with Todoroki's Sick Burns (no pun intended). He really tried to come for Sero's 'Funniest Bakugou Takes' crown in this book. Todoroki's subplot was actually my favorite thing about this story--more on that in a moment.

Also, this made me so 🥺 He fit in so well with 1-A from the start that it's easy to forget Midoriya was decently unpopular in middle school. The palpable social anxiety in this line is so real.

Can we talk about the Todorokis... (actively dissolving into a puddle of tears) can we please talk about the Todorokis... Rei tries so hard in this book. FUYUMI tries so hard. Their storyline was such a tender thread running through what was otherwise an incredibly goofy book. There were some aspects of like, Todoroki Family Life(TM) that I had never given much thought to? Like how Todoroki's poor social skills among his own age group had probably impacted his (and Fuyumi's) life pre-UA, the responses of other characters like Midoriya, Iida, and Aizawa to what they respectively know about his situation, etc. It was just. Really ough. Augh. Alack, if you will.

TODOROKI STAND UP COMEDY TOUR. I live for Shouto & Fuyumi & Natsuo interactions, my skin is clear and my crops are watered. Shouto & Fuyumi were so precious in this.

I talked about this scene already, but omg how I loved the entire staff room chapter. I've always found the UA faculty as a concept deeply entertaining (what do you MEAN the superheroes are teachers. 'Sorry, I can't hang out after school. I have to study for a test in Batman's class.') and this chapter was just. So silly. I love them.

Really quick, do you think they ever get tired of being so everything to me? Aizawa spends this entire scene rolling his eyes at the other teachers' bs-ing and wasting time, deliberately not getting involved, but of course Mic still manages to drag him into it. Just couldn't help yourself could you.

AIZAWA STAND UP COMEDY TOUR.

#i'm scheduling pts 1 and 2 to post within a few minutes of each other let's see if tumblr will let me #school briefs saga #liza blather #long post #crazy how read more links were invented for me specifically. anyway 1000 words of silly!!!#todoroki shouto #todoroki fuyumi #todoroki rei #for fic ref purposes

Silly question because I was scrolling through your Tumblr blog and really wanted to ask something but nothing came to mind except L and L looking different because Reasons TM.

We have L the rich family heir in the current Time Speaks arc. He's got a Family Approved TM makeover.

But what if Light was given a chance to give L a makeover? How would this new and visually improved L be?

Also how long do you think before L takes back makeover privileges and gets back to his usual? I bet an hour, max lmao.

So I thought about this for a minute lol

The thing about Light is, I actually don't think he spends as much time on his appearance or on appearance in general as some fanon implies. Yes, he's put together and looks good, but most of that is just a clean haircut and his natural face. Light is just good-looking on his own hahahahaha, and he uses that against people as part of his repertoire of tactics. Personally tho I think he relies on the "upstanding member of society" shtick much more than his looks, despite how I personally like to comment on his face in my story.

Why did I ramble about this here, you may ask? Because I actually don't see Light as giving L a makeover or even thinking about it much, based simply on what Light finds value in or has an interest in. At best I think he'd buy L a nice suit, or at the very least some fitting clothes, and give him a haircut, but nothing more than that. This would be a special occasion with other people involved, and so L would give in since he'd see it as important enough to submit until the end of whatever occasion it is. But in daily life or a makeover just for fun? I don't think Light would do it. Their weird sexual tension is 90% cerebral, and while Light uses society's proceptions against them, I don't think he takes them seriously himself. He's an actor on a stage wearing a costume, which is also why I think he's got so may clothes, and so many "fit the situation" clothing as we see. But beyond that, he doesn't care what others look like, and certainly doesn't care about L's looks beyond that one time he called him a weirdo when they met.

Also I don't think Light knows a thing about makeup (remaining purposefully ignorant, despite Misa's attempts), but also he's possessive and wouldn't want L to look too good to other people. So even less inclination to give him a makeover lol. But he does, personally, admire what L looked like with slicked-back hair when he has the chance to see it, as in that one fan art of them in the tub I've saved. >v>

Sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping for, it was still a fun one for me to think about!

(Now, if you'd asked about Misa giving L a makeover, that's a whole other story; she would sit him down and keep him there as her doll (hah) for as long as she possibly could, and he would actually just give in cause why not, he's bored, let's see what Misa can do. And she'd go in full, she'd dress him in all types of styles and genres, from historical to modern to goth, and even go into cosplay a bit, with full makeup and accessories. She would splurge on this cause his frame would make him perfect for some anime cosplay. There would be photoshoots, face artfully averted of course, and they'd be popular online. This would include male and female outfits btw. And L would have fun, even tho he didn't expect that he would, he finds it interesting. While Light would watch from the sidelines with an annoyed look on his face (he's not fooling anyone, he's there for every shoot). L, in contrast to Light, would actually listen to Misa and learn about a full makeup and hair care routine. He'd never employ that knowledge personally, but he'd remember it even if just to bring up to Light randomly like "Light-kun could do with some moisturizing sunscreen and leave-in conditioner, you're looking a bit sun damaged" "What?" lmao.)

So, yeah! ^v^

Going to be honest but I need bucchigiri to give us an explaination for Arajins behaviours? Like I get it he probably hates himself because hes a coward. He probably also feels like he doesn't deserve to be friends with someone as amazing as Matakara specifically because of that. And then also how he's always putting on a facade infront of Mahoro but like how does that happen?

What brought this question on was how he acted right after learning about the injury and then being super pissy when asked if he could help. Literally last episode and the beginning of this episode Arajin was finally acting somewhat friendly with him and now all of sudden he doesn't give a shit?

I'm sorry I don't think the running away flashback TM is enough to warant that change. From what I remember he was gone for like 5ish years but it still seems like there was a period between runaway flashback and then him leaving (pls correct me if im wrong). We also saw in the latest episode he started ignoring Matakara after abandoning him but I can't believe Matakara would let just that happen so he probably kept trying to be friends. I wouldn't be suprised if Arajin out of guilt got pretty annoyed with Matakara's idealism and that has just been snowballing since elementary school.

Now into truely imaginative things:

I feel like shit happened with him before he came to live with his mother. We currently don't know anything about that 5 year period where he was gone or why he came back. I'm thinking maybe his dad was shitty? So when Matakara didn't come back for the party it struck a nerve? If I go off the rails maybe his dad wasn't home often so he just assumed Matakara and his brother went off to have fun by themselves. In the morning (before learning about the injury) he said "if he wasn't going to come he could have just said so", so I'm not suprised he wasn't as worried as the others. Because he did look genuinely concered when he got told about the injury but then a switch flipped once it started being about him helping.

If I'm being generous I think it could that he knows hes such an asshole so he thinks he doesn't deserve to be the one helping matakara and maybe whe hes like "we aren't friends" he means it in the sense of "i'm such a shitty person I'm not good enough to be his friend". I want to imagine its meant to be this but I don't have confidence that Arajin has even thought this hard about anything so idk.

Also little side prediction:

I think Matakara has false memories of what happened that day, which could work since he was pretty beat up. The reason is because he truely didn't think Arajin ran away but If he woke up alone in the forest wouldn't he think something was up? So maybe someone saved him and because of his concussed state he imagined Arajin? I'm currently ruling out the possibility that Arajin came back to bring him home because that seems like vital info about the situation but we have never gotten any indication of that.

With everything he's going through right now I think if it were true it would be a pretty big revalation for him.

#Anyway I needed to get that off my chest #I'm excited to see were the story will go from here #bucchigiri?!#arajin tomoshibi #bucchigiri

Writing interview tag

thanks for the tag @the-golden-comet!

Short stories, novels, or poems?

Novels, though I sometimes wonder if my works are too short lmao.

What genre do you prefer reading?

Honestly I’ll read anything, except like modern day romance or regular fiction, there has to be a little spice to the setting to get me interested.

Are you a planner or a write as I go kind of person?

What music do you listen to while writing?

I have different playlists for certain WIPS, usually the songs reflect the characters or general setting. LOTH has a bunch of southern gothic and ambient horror music bc, well…spoilers.

Favorite books/movies?

Favorite movie is Everything Everywhere All At Once, and my favorite book (if it counts) is Impressions of Aure.

Any current WIPs?

Currently working on Our Lonely Ocean, but I’ve got back into writing LunuL and Viscered after a hot second.

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you what would your standard outfit be?

Colorful tank top bc I refuse to wear sleeves, uhhh boring ass sweatpants and I guess that’s it? Maybe also hyper realistic traces images of shoes would be funny.

Create a character description of yourself:

Kronk but blonde and with the voice of Yzma

Do you like incorporating actual people you know into your writing?

Not usually. Loop of the Hollow is an exception, though. I won’t be delving further bc I’d rather not doxx myself.

Are you kill happy with your characters?

Not a huge fan of killing off characters for shock bait then not exploring the consequences of their death (looking at you Game of Thrones and JJK), but, when I think it will be a gut puncher while ALSO having consequences, I’ll do it.

Coffee or Tea while writing?

Iced Coffee, milk, or just water.

Slow or fast writer?

Decently paced, but some days when I haven’t eaten and my blood sugar is high and I zoom through the document like a NASCAR driver.

Where/who/what do you draw inspiration from?

Oof, that’s tough. The things that inspired me to write are the Drakengard and NieR games, Drakengard 3 specifically. I swear to god that game has influence in everything I write.

If you were in a fantasy world, what would you be?

I’d be the alien that pops up once in the world building the break the lore.

Most fav book cliche:

Giant Men With Feelings TM

Least favorite cliche:

When a story is trying way too hard to be realistic to the point where they can’t take any creative liberties, especially if it’s fantasy.

Favorite scene to write?

People in Situations TM (just look at the latest chapter of OLO)

Reason for writing?

Idk, I wanted to tell stories and can’t draw or animate that well so I chose writing and that’s been going great so far :D. I’ve been getting better at writing for myself rather than imaginary internet critics or redditors.

Open tag!

only friends ep 3 watch through (part 1/2)

!! the mess is here. the mess is here and so am I

we open on nick catching even more feelings over bostonnick sex montage. oh this is painful to watch. lmao @ the of directors being the ones to give nick the tweet replies he doesn't want to hear though

I have to say I am such a sucker for the kind of aw noise boston makes at 2:26 it would get me too. but right after this he sits up and says the most manipulative shit about ~we might become something more~ nick baby. get out of there

raysand softest wake up together scene. this is very tender for a one night stand situation. my expectations for what we're supposed to want for them keep getting overturned. what I want for them has remained consistent but not bc of anything rational just bc I'm a simp

moment of silence for first kanaphan special acting ability where he manages to look like he's gazing softly up at khaotung's character while towering over him

moment of silence for sand who is already gone for ray and realizing it a little

moment of silence for ray who is still flirting having fun and feeling fancy free. oh boy when you torpedo this everyone will suffer you included

The Friends (tm) are eating and planning a pool party. they are having a fun chat about all the crazy things the cctv they want to put in is going to pick up. you know when you create all these opportunities for the narrative to screw with you it will babes.

ray remembers he knows a hot musician and volunteers to take care of the djing in a way that is so sus that the rest of the friends get comic whiplash sound effects and an eagle scream about it

topmew date time. sorry legitimately the only thing I can think about in this scene is how if everyone is dancing to different music everyone will look foolish as heck. forcebook really selling it here

I lied I have another thought and it's that these lyrics they are singing make me feel like the narrative is slapping me in the face

everyone regards me as a bad guy / I'm a villain, no matter how much I love you, I must die eventually / in the end, he's the one who has your love / I want to be a hero, but villain is my role

ok calm down top

if some of that's not metaphorical tho...yikes yikes

*begin vid section [2/4]*

an old familiar hookup comes to flirt with top in front of mew. can't totally read this dynamic. mew is clearly a little jealous but doesn't really have the standing to say anything. much like top's encounter with boston in the shower last week he's pushing away just a little but not putting his arm into it. top what is your game here?

nick getting boston to help him move lmao. that's right use him babe

sand is connecting dots. about bostonnick and about the hostel. ding ding ding baby you're all tangled up in this thankless situation. I wish I could have hope about sand and nick being good for each other bc they seem like the two most sympathetic characters this storyline currently has to offer but unfortunately my guess is they will both be too hung up on other people to be any real help to one another. and/or nick's going darkside idk you guys I'm starting to wonder. more on that coming up

ray wants to hire sand for ~party fun times~ so he goes to his work mom yo to clear it with her first. she says /why are you trying to get me wrapped up in your mess I'm a pure character/ and ray, about his intentions toward sand, rasps out "nothing is suspicious" while clearing his throat and shaking his head very quickly to indicate that nothing is suspicious.

yo's bf arrives on the scene to act as another character pointing out ray's day drinking. sorry ray the narrative agrees it's problematic to hang out at a bar all day when you're not sleeping with someone on staff. yo and bf have a cute moment and ray goes sweet and starry eyed about it.

ray: "can I get one like that?" p'yo: "here comes sand"

sorry I legitimately cannot continue without taking a moment for sparkly princess ray here. wtf. this look is, of course, aimed at sand but honestly that's not even what's important to me right now

cut to sand doing some of the most inefficient chopping work known to man while ray stands around flirting prettily with him and asking for favors.

trailer teasing us yet again on their dynamic. ray is the first one to say "you think I want you as my boyfriend? of course not!" while sand takes a long sip of his water and stares into the middle distance. oh sand.

sand calls him an asshole (affectionate)* again and gets up to go. ray grabs him by the arm and asks with feeling if he is really okay with this, which is the narrative reminding us that we are still allowed to sympathize with him even when he's being a little shit bc he understands consent. they have a nice little ~what are we~ conversation which, like—even though we know it's not actually going to work out ok for either of them even over the course this episode—is some pretty healthy communication, especially stacked right up against everything we've had from boston and nick this week. I'm honestly consistently surprised ray is being allowed to be a decent person but I'm not complaining

*nearly every time the subs say "dickhead" "asshole" etc what the characters are actually calling each other is สัตว์ "animal". I get that this is a more commonly used insult in thai but I think it almost holds up as a direct translation in terms of relative weight and I sort of wish it was glossed more consistently somehow. idk someone come tell me more tho

back at the pool nick meets top, who he recognizes from the photo booth pictures he found at boston's. they get a set of villain zooms, one each top and nick. nick baby don't do anything sand wouldn't do ok?

back to one of nick's online-in-a-dark-room moments. he's stalking top and finding boston comments all over his ig. the camera is not looking kindly on him here. something something the toxicity of jealousy and obsession. nick has real feelings involved so he's already at a disadvantage in his dynamic with boston, but suddenly I get the sense that boston is not necessarily safe, even if he's not going to catch feelings

how is sandray of the messy unrequited friend thing the only safe dynamic of the Big Three

(part 2) (all ofts watch throughs)

#ofts #only friends the series #sandray #raysand #firstkhaotung #ofts meta #part 2 incoming #next week shorter i'm promising myself now. next week the recap might just be sandray + other scenes of note bc there's Too Much Happening #ofts watch through
