#vampire is the main one on my mind‚ right now‚ but that feels too basic ... give me some time to think of something better /lh

[throughpatchesofviolet]

Every year, without fail, I want to think about holidays during the summer, and I want to think about summer during the holidays. Anyway, thinking about Halloween with Sherry, Heathcliff, and baby Radley ... and also with my friends' inserts and faves, because I cannot imagine a holiday gathering without them.

౨: SAM MONROE ໒; TWILIGHT AU PT2

[ more was requested by @speaknow-sw 😋 WHO I ALSO MENTIONED IN HERE WOOOO ROUND OF APPLAUSE. CELEBRITY WHOO???? ]

[ tw: death of a boyfriend and its not pretty ☹️ ]

[ this isnt very accurate to the lore of the twilight sagas. I didnt want to rewrite the stuff that happened in the OG books just replacing Edward with Sam. I wanted to sort of make this my own so it isnt boring + these are just some ideas I have about being with vampire!sam. im not starting off on where I left (basically when Edward leaves bella in new moon.) #notwritingallat ]

[ thank you for the love in part 1 ! feel free to request scenarios about vampire sam <3 I'll get to them as soon as I can. enjoy part 2 ! 🩶]

໒: trying to get Sam into popular artists now doesn't go so well. He doesnt like upbeat pop music by young adult women. Sam prefers MCR, Metallica, Pantera.. you get it. He specifically hates Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo. Sabrina is "too girly and talks so much about sex" and Olivia is like another Taylor Swift, singing about her ex boyfriend all the time. You try and tell him that his views on the two women are so wrong and that he should really take the time to listen to the lyrics carefully to get the real meaning behind them, but he refuses.

໒: Sam doesn't like to sit with you and your friends at lunch, he thinks they're too loud and annoying. They gossip a lot, too.. about everyone and everything.

"I dont doubt that they talk about each other." he mumbles to you in the car as he drives you home. "In fact, I know they do." He smirks and taps his finger on the wheel. "I heard what Joanna was thinking about Avery today. She thinks Avery is a brat.. and shes not wrong." Sam had the ability to read anyones mind exacept yours. that was one of the main reasons he wanted you so bad. the old man wanted to figure you out.

"you really need to stop intruding on other peoples thoughts." you smile over at him. "its not exactly like I can just ignore their thoughts, you know? I cant.. mute them or anything like that. Its as clear as when I hear someone speaking. I just.. hear them like if they were right next to me." Sam looks your way for a second, then back at the road. "If I zone out, then sure, I can mind my business and not catch a thing they think about, but.." he half smiles. "those kids are always thinking about some crazy shit. its hard to ignore sometimes."

໒: Sam barley uses his phone. Hes not addicted like everyone else is. Yes, he has social media, but again.. hes not really on it. He has instagram and twitter. A bunch of followers on Instagram but only follows back a few people. His twitter account is private and he only ever uses it to see what bands are announcing tours.

໒: Sam really likes the rain. He likes to go on walks in the forest while its all wet and cold.

໒: Vampires don't sleep but that doesnt stop Sam from taking naps on his comfy bed all the time. Yes, he has a bed. He likes to be comfortable. How could a chair make him as comfortable as a bed? His sheets are grey, blankets navy blue and black. dont doubt that they arent big and soft.

"let me sleep," he whines, tossing to the side where hes not facing you. "Sam, you dont sleep. You dont get sleepy." you remind him and pick at his hair. "Then there must be something wrong with me because I feel sleepy as hell." he furrows his eyebrows. "now shut up and leave me alone, loser." it doesn't matter that you're his girlfriend *or whatever* (is how he'd put it) hes still mean to you sometimes.. like.. genuinely.

໒: he likes to lay on your chest to hear your heart beat. it 'helps him sleep' (😒)

໒: When you first started dating, Sam HATED when you would try to kiss him. He said it was because hes older, and it feels wrong, but really, he just didn't want you to kiss him. he was uncomfortable with it and chose not to hurt your feelings.

"I told you to lay off, you're too young to be kissing all over me, kid." he shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket. "Sam, you cant say that out loud.." you look around, catching people glancing at you. "they'll forget about it tomorrow. just.. stop, alright? its weird."

໒: josh and you were close. especially when Sam had left. Josh made you happy, and you made him happy.. maybe a little too much. He developed a crush on you. A huge one. It bothered Sam more than anything. "that dirty dog wouldn't know how to handle you." he would say with jealousy. "pretty girl like you needs a man who can handle her random outbursts and shit like that." he would boop your nose and kiss you on the lips (now that hes finally comfortable) "throw him a bone or something instead."

໒: he still talks like hes in 2001, but hes caught up on a few new slang words.

“Meli found out that we're seeing eachother.” Sam voices to you nervously, pacing his room. He thought he was being so slick with you. Somehow he managed to make it seem like you and him were strictly friends to his family, but his sister had a vision 2 weeks before you even moved to Forks. She didnt see anything about Sam leaving you that one time, though. All she saw was a cute relationship with you and her brother. "im COOKED." he yells and plops on his bed. "Sam, I think shes known." she told you anyway. "whatever, shut up and let me lock in." (sleep) IF that's even what he does 😐

“hey,im hungry” - sam 💘 at 2:34pm

sam texts you in the middle of class. you roll your eyes and respond.

“you dont get hungry.”

“don't tell me what I do and dont feel. thats toxic. im hungry.”

he couldnt have meant thirsty. if he wanted blood, he'd straight up say it with no problem.

“come on im just trying 2 take you out on a date after school..jeez.”

“I want pizza”

“FFFFFFUCK no. pick something else.”

“I thought this was about me”

“my god bro okay fine hurry up when class ends so we can go quick. always some fatties over there who make it right after school.”

“so.. you never told me.” you start small talk on the car ride. "told you what?" "like.. you know. about drinking blood. whats it like?" sam smirks and glances over at you. "its amazing. feels like a whole new different drug to me. human blood, that is." he makes a turn, pulling into the driveway of the pizza joint. "Kevin doesnt allow us to hunt humans. we're like.. the vegetarians of vampires." you furrow your eyebrows in confusion. "what does that even mean?" "we drink blood from animals, stupid." he rolls his eyes and turns off the car. "I go against his rules sometimes, though." he looks over to you, eyeing your neck. "sam," you say nervously, making him laugh. "you really thought I was gonna eat you?" "well yeah! you're.. a vampire! I have blood in me! and the way you eyed me was.. I dont know." sam shakes his head. "I cant kill you," he starts, the smile wiping off his lips. "I dont know what I'd do without you."

you stayed in the car for atleast 10 more minutes while he told you about how hes killed people in the past, rebelling against his mother and mostly father. He revealed to you how he killed and sucked dry one of the jocks he hated back when he was alive.. and it was over a girl. "I liked this girl named Evie," he says with no shame. he thought you would understand since it was a long time ago, and luckily you did. "She was really nice to me when nobody else was. I cant lie, I was mean to her. I told her to leave me alone cause she was annoying, but really, I just didnt wanna catch feelings for her." "why not?" "she was too good for me. also her boyfriend hated my guts. He thought I was a freak who didnt deserve any friends." sam told you as he was looking out the window to the gloomy view outside. "He called me a loser, punched me once.. one time him and his football friends decided to jump me in the bathroom." he recalls. "I wanted to do something about it so bad but I knew he'd just kick my ass again. After like a week of jumping me I heard how bad of a boyfriend he was to Evie. He smacked her around, called her names, cheated on her.. a lot of things. It pissed me off cause by then I actually started to let myself fall for her. After she found out that her boyfriend, Van, and his friends kicked my ass she never left me alone. She hungout with me in a classroom during lunch, convinced me to give her my number.. so you know. she was always sending me messages." he fills you in about how she was so nice to him. "I died like two months after that. I stalked her at school a few times and I saw that she was really upset about me. "

"she even convinced her friends and a few other people to decorate my locker with stuff like 'rest in piece' and 'never forgotten'," sam looks over at you, a little surprised that you were actually invested in this story. "keep talking, hello?" you say, making him chuckle. "she just kept me in her life and prayers after I died, alright? you get it." he clears his throat. "but uh.. I remembered Van after a while. I remembered how much I hated him. So after one of his football games, I payed him a little visit in the lockers."

[ The lights in the locker rooms were flickering and buzzing as Van changed back into his regular clothes. It was cold.. a little bit colder than usual, and the vibe in there was off. Van tried to shake it off, but he was just getting creeped out even more by the minute. All of a sudden, one of the lockers shut. Van looked over to it.. nobody was there. Then he felt a chill go up his spine. He turns around and yells in fear when he sees Sam. "What the hell?!" He yells as he stays against the lockers. He didn't realize it was Sam at first.. he was paler than usual, and his eyes were a deep creepy red. "Sam? Is—no.. you're dead. you died 4 days ago. how could this be?!" Van freaks out. Sam smiled and shook his head. "Dont worry about it," He steps closer, up in Vans face. "All you should know right now is that you're next. you're going to die, Van." he whispers. "im gonna make sure its painful, too." he threatens. "Sam, come on." Van whimpers, holding onto one of Sams shoulders. "thats—thats what guys do, man.. beat eachother up, you know?" he nervously laughs, sweat dripping from his forehead. "you got it all wro‐" he chokes. he choked because sam wrapoed his hand around Vans neck. "shut the fuck upp," sam laughs. "this isnt just about you being a jackass to me. you're such a dick to Evie. you dont deserve her." he throws Van across the walkway. Sam said a few more things, scaring and threatening Van even more before actually killing him to make it hell. ]

Sam didnt explain the whole murder of Van too well. It was too graphic, he thought.. because he didn't just suck the life out of Van.. he did ripped off an arm and a leg. You didnt need to know that, but just thinking about it made Sam smile to himself. a little wider than he already was when explaining every else to you. "Whatever, it was years ago. He got what he deserved." Sam sighs and opens the car door. "Wait," you touch his cold hand. "What about Evie? What happened to her?" Sam messes with his labret and looks back at you. "She moved to New York and had two kids. A boy and a girl.. her boys name is Samuel."

Háblame De Ti

:tell me about you:

Demetri Volturi x Fem human reader

Summary: The way he looks at you when you talk A/N: This one was inspired by the song "Hablame de ti" by Banda MS. I connected two and two when I was driving to the beach and this song went on and I was like "Omg this is giving Demetri vibes, write it down Mj (me)". I swear this happens to me to often, ideas for one-shots just randomly come to mind and I quickly pull out "notes" on my phone if I'm not on my computer and later transfer that idea do my doc and write out a whole brainstorm or just start writing right away. Anyways......Enjoy💙 (Ps. I might or might of now of added my other fictional lovers on here🤭)

Word Count: 1k+

(What a lovely man. I love his little smile here🥰)

“Your not going to believe who Kelsey ended up with”

“Tell me”

I crossed my legs to get more comfy. Me and Demetri are in the outskirts of Volterra in a small clearing of grass that we go to when the weather is nice. With it already being  summer, and the sun beating down on us, Demetri’s gorgeous sparkle comes through. Oh how I can stare at him all day long and try to count every individual little diamond that seems to be on his face. To just admire his beauty and not be interrupted by others, to not have to worry about anything but him alone. His state right is laying on his stomach with his head resting on his head, and his feet basically kicked up, swaying side to side. He seems so relaxed and he’s giving me his undivided attention at the same time.

“She ended up with Ren”

“No way”

“Exactly, and poor Kishan was left behind, can you believe how devastated I was how he was just left behind in time. I so wanted to reach into the book and pull him out”

“And what would you do with him if that were possible”

“Well give him his happily ever after of course my man has suffered to much”

“Your man? What am I some side chick now?”

“Demetri you will always be my main, Kishan would be my side I guess”

“No I don't like that, no side chicks or whatever you just have me”

“Fine, so I can't even have Moony or Padfoot either?”

“Nope”

“What about Nanami, please let me at least have him”

“I'll think about it, but tell me more about what happened after they left Kishan”

I continued with my ramble of the book I finished. When I talk about books with him he lets me go off and does not interrupt unless he has a question. Even when I fear I have talked to much or I bored him, I look at him and he’s still looking at me with anticipation for me to continue 

Third Person

A thing that y/n didn't realize about Demetri was how he looks at her. When they are out in their spot at this time of the year, Demetri sees a whole new side of her. He just sits or lays there looking at her like she is the only breathing soul on this earth. If it were possible his pupils would form into little hearts because that is all he sees when he looks at her, hearts. He has the purest of adoration for her; if someone were to watch them for a distance, they would assume Demetri is under a love spell from how he watches her. He's so smitten with her it's almost as if it's too good to be true, it seems too much like a fairytale. And to them it does feel like it, their alone time is their little bubble of paradise. Just them against the world, no vampire or human in sight, even the animals seem to leave them alone.��

Demetri and y/n or y/n or Demetri, bounded for eternity, how it should be according to them. Just them two, even if currently one is immortal and another is mortal, they just click. The minute they meet, life just makes sense for them at that moment. When he moves, she moves, she wanders and he follows her around. Or he will gently guide her back to their initial journey since his lovely mate tends to get distracted with little things.

Oooo what a pretty flower, oh my what an interesting looking tree, how is that possible for it to bend like that? Demetri look a family of little bunnies, can I take them home?

Those are just superficial questions and thoughts she will have when she wanders but Demetri loves every little quirk she carries, even the one where sometimes she hides herself from him when he catches her moving with the wind. 

“You were not supposed to see that”

“Well i'm glad I did because now I can join you, care to share a dance cariño?” 

Demetri’s POV

What a beauty of a human she is. She’s a rare jewel that can never be dared to be duplicated or even have the audacity to be recreated. No one will even come close to being like her because she is one in a million. The way she can talk to me for hours without stopping warms my heart for it being she trusts me enough to say whatever is on her mind. Her voice, the voice of an angel indeed. How can someone like her even exist? I sometimes fear I'm in a dream with her, I just can never fully believe she is my mate. She was made for me, she’s everything I have ever wanted but at the same time something I never knew I needed. If I were to sketch out what I believe my mate would have looked like, it would have looked like her. 

I never pictured myself finding my mate in this lifetime or ever, but when she came into my life, I was enamored of the idea of her. All of the heartache I harbored within the past vanished to be replaced by an overwhelming feeling of devotion and infatuation dedicated just for her. 

I deeply value my alone time with her, it's our time to be with each other without any interruption or worry of some duty I need to do. Even if my mind is racing with a million thoughts revolving around her, I catch every single word that comes from her pretty little mouth. At last I think I might have gotten a bit too deep in my love for her because she is staring at me with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes?”

“I said why are you looking at me like that?”

“Like what?”

“Well your looking at me all weird”

“Can’t a vampire stare at his mate with love?”

And my oh my, that lovely blush of her’s starts to bloom on her lovely face. It saddens me to think what when the day comes for her to become like me, her blush will be no more. I will miss it but it excites me that we will officially have forever. 

Still blushing she responds with a small stutter “W-well you can, n-no judgment, but were you paying attention?”

“Of course my angel, you just said that Ren and Kelsey got married”

She nodded and proceeded to keep talking about the book. So adorable when she doubts me, I am always listening to her. There are times where she sleep talks sometimes and I manage to her say that she loves me so much. It gave me a warm feeling within to think she loves me as much as I love her, well actually I think I love her more. But why tell her that? When I have to be away from her due to missions or training, I am aching to be in her arms as soon as I leave. To be in her warm embrace, to have my face filled with her lips giving me multiple small kisses, to seeing her smile when she sees me. 

If only she knew the deep effect she has on me, I only mentioned slight things but soon enough she will know. If I were to tell her my deeper feelings, I don't think her mind would be able to comprehend it, my love for her is intense, so strong and raw. Sometimes it does scare me in how much I love her. 

Y/N POV

“I'm still mad about it, you know? Like you have no idea how much I cried”

“I know cariño, I was there wiping your tears away all night”

“That you were, I'm so lucky to have you my love”

“I know i'm just the best you know”

I slap his shoulder playfully at his exaggerated cockiness. He can be such a goofball sometimes and I love that about him.

Cariño: Dear

[lxinesux]

Yes hello, I read your Peter stupidly imprints on the reader by accident post and I came to ask if you were interested in turning that into a full fic.

Obviously no pressure!! I really don't mean for it to come off that way. I just...gosh I love that idea :)

yes i am!!

i got a lot of ideas in my brain and my main issue is focusing on one at a time lmao. it really depends on what my brain latches onto at any given moment! i very likely have undiagnosed ADHD so i pingpong A Lot. ya boy is always writing but consistency is not his friend.

this ask accidentally made me spew out some potential plot points for this fic

PUTTING THIS UNDER A READMORE BC OH IM YAPPING!!!

i love the idea too; reader has no idea about werewolf mating habits. she was only there for blood and good dick

peter should know better! he knows about mating habits! intimately! he’s had a mate before, assumes he never will again. but he figured since reader is an entirely different species, it wouldn’t take even if he felt the pull toward her initially when they met. his ruts have been getting worse since gwen died. its started bleeding into his role as the pack’s alpha. hes way more aggressive, quick to anger, and hes pissing off the council that regulates the paranormal/preternatural creatures in the area.

he knows reader is nearly constantly hungry bc he can smell it on her. she doesnt want to hurt humans. reader is a hybrid-her dad is a human and mother is a vampire. shes already under scrutiny and surveillance by the council. she’s also screwed. when she was younger, she could eat human food and supplement with blood her mother brought her. but mommy dearest left for almost no reason, reader turns 16 and her body just…ceases to be human. she stops aging, her period gets weaker, the sun is making her sleepy, and her bloodlust becomes more apparent. she cant eat human food anymore without getting violently ill. animal blood is easier to get but it barely sustain her and she needs more of it.

then her very mortal, very human father gets sick. shes the only one left to care for him. she basically barely keeps herself alive for 4 years and tries to lives as humanly as possible while her father loses his mind to dementia. once she moves to nyc, she suddenly cant get the blood she needs. per council rules, she cannot drink human blood. (vampires historically Do Not Fuck With The Council, and reader really would just like to pretend she isnt one, so shes willing to play along) the forests /all belong/ to the wolf packs. she cannot make herself noticeable to humans/tourists. blood is way harder to legally obtain. would be WAY easier if she were getting her masters in biology! but she is a fine arts major :) nobody in the stem courses will even /look/ in her direction.

and there’s peter, who doesn’t like this girl. but she’s in obvious pain. and shes hot. like. /really fucking hot./ and she smells good. she’s extremely awkward around humans and if he doesn’t do /something/ the poor girl’s gonna starve to death.

peter and reader aren’t even friends. they dislike each other immensely but that doesn’t mean they cant have a mutually beneficial relationship.

so he approaches her with the idea and at first shes like ‘ew gross no.’ but then-after she tries and fails to mess around with a human only to go almost Jasper Hale when he nicks his tongue on her fangs-she actually considers it. peter wont die if she gets a lil too rough with him. and she hasn’t had any sort of satisfying sex in…ever.

so she agrees to it but lays down some ground rules. no kissing on the lips, its too intimate. no feelings, shes an independent woman, okay? cannot be tied down right now. and noone on the council can find out, bc shes already an anomaly. they are pissed that shes alive bc shes proof of an immortal child tht skipped their all seeing eyes 🤷🏻they are worried about her getting pregnant, even though it would be extremely difficult its not impossible. they would be up her ass even further if they knew.

peter agrees! thinks it’ll be a breeze. all alphas hate the council, so keeping them from sniffing near his pack is already a priority. he can just kiss her everywhere else, so his oral fixation is quenched. and his desire for a mate died w/ gwen so this should be fine! besides, it’s only a week. really, itll be fine.

reader is even prettier naked, she keeps making him laugh, and maybe he’s enjoying getting scritches behind his ears with her manicured nails. he is only a man! okay, a crush. whatever. he’s putting his cock in her, eating her out, and watching her cum. maybe he does like her a /little bit./ she probably just put some kinda vampy thrall over him, anyway. whatever. no feelings, right? he can keep it to himself and once this rut is over, he can purge them. remind himself that shes a leech, keep his distance till shes hungry again.

then she’s riding him, his lips pressed against his pulse point. shes inhaling the scent of his blood through his skin. She kisses along his jugular, rubbing her nose along it.

“hungry?”

“mhm,” her cold tongue follows his vein, “smells so good. strong. alive. better than anything ive ever smelled…”

that should not fill him with the amount of pride it does.

“go ahead.”

“don’t wanna hurt you,” but she sounds almost drunk and it makes his cock throb inside her. her fingers move through his hair. it’s embarrassing but all he wants now is to please her.

“you’re not gonna hurt me with those itty bitty fangs. take your part of the deal.”

she does. she sinks those itty bitty sharp af fangs into his neck almost instantly. it hurts but only just for a moment. the entire world stills, shifts into something hyper real. his heart feels like its gonna beat out of his chest. his nervous system lights up, his skin is suddenly thrumming with life. he feels high, only its more intense. he feels like he’s floating, with only reader anchoring him to earth.

only reader. she’s invading all of his senses. the pleased little noises she makes while she drinks. the smell of her hair, the scent of his own blood. the feeling of her skin going from ice cold to lukewarm to deliciously fevered. because of /him./ he’s giving her something no one else can. his blood is in her body now. his blood. His.

her body, in this moment, belongs to him in a way. it’s pulling his conscious mind further out and the wolf inside him is forcing its way out.

he grabs her hips to the point of bruising and pushes his knot inside.

her nails dig into his shoulders to keep him in place, her body quivering in overstimulation. his cum is trapped inside her pussy and his blood is filling her cells and she smells even more like him. like she belongs to him. like she always had. like it was just this moment he was waiting on…

he bites her back. something inside him feels like it’s reaching into her, connecting them more than his knot. Her blood tastes like iron, like rust but he still wants it covering his teeth. she doesn’t have a scent gland like other shifters do but that doesn’t fucking matter. her pheromones are still coating the back of his throat. now he has her taste, too.

now they belong to each other.

she doesn’t even get angry, just kinda halfheartedly, softly, smacks his chest when she drinks her fill. then she falls asleep in his arms, stuck on his knot, his blood drying on her chin.

immediately, he knows hes screwed.

his rut ends and she disappears the next morning. his alpha is immediately on high alert and he has to calm himself down bc /she is not his mate./ but his alpha keeps trying to track her scent, whimpering inside him. making him restless. why did she leave? /because the rut is over./ she could be pregnant. /she is not pregnant./ but she could be. and this world is cruel. /she is an apex predator./ but she’s really bad at being one!

he breaks down at the 12 hour mark after he cant sleep in the bed that smells like her. he follows her to work and basically has to keep himself from wolfing out in front of her and her coworkers in this nice ass art gallery. he has to make up an excuse to be close to her 😭

this is all ive got so far, plotwise. minus readers mommy issues subplot and peters found family. plus just the world building elements.

thank u nonnie for givin me an excuse to yap. …this ask took three days to answer lol i was so excited.

Death and Rebirth:

Chapter 1 reactions (part 2)

In which I slowly lose my mind over Sylus "eating"

Kitten number 11 came with soft Sylus 🥺🥺🥺

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA SKIP OVER THE FACT THAT SYLUS KNOWS EXACTLY HOW MUCH A SOUL WEIGHS???

NOT ONLY THAT A SOUL EXISTS BUT

HE

HAS

WEIGHED

SOULS BEFORE??

I guess even though he eats all this gourmet food, he as a dragon still eats souls. I wonder if it's like... vampire logic in some universes. They still need blood but some vampires can still eat food. It just won't benefit them in any way

So I guess Sylus using his evol to heal her would be too OP for the plot huh?

I keep forgetting that this is the main story because why is Sylus so domestic here, giving us food and keeping an eye on our injury 🥺🥺🥺

We're having a little picnic with Sylus here 🥺👉👈

UGHHHH UG HUG ;HGUH GHUH UHGH UHG HGH GG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Kitten #12

HMMMM I WONDER WHY HE ONLY POINTED OUT THE COMFORTABLE SEATS AND THE SPACIOUS BACK???? ?

Ok so if they're this overt with MC talking like she's dating Sylus, and this entire chapter really does feel like it.... why is Sylus stuck on Kitten then lmao What happened to Sweetie?

This whole chapter really doesn't feel like a main story. It feels more like a memory with Sylus already dating MC. But then again, I felt that way when Zayne showed up in Caleb's story, so it might just be a me thing

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT LMAOOOOOOO STOPPPPP

Ok but wait, MC is currently the second highest... uhhh... bet? In this death game though. And Sylus was already on the jumbotron. I'm guessing MC could be seen in it too. So like... no one's going to find out that she's WAY TOO CLOSE to the leader of Onychinus??

I feel like Nero would be nerdy enough to follow what's happening with the hunt and he'd recognize MC instantly

This is so domestic ugh

They're fucking tho right

They're are absolutely fucking

MY DUDE WE ARE FUCKING!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT

I fucking hate this guy

"Get in loser, we're going shopping"

Kitten #13 comes with me being extremely tsun because of that fucking look oh my fucking god

He really just forgot about "Sweetie" huh

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA SKIP RIGHT PAST THIS TOO HUH??

First Sylus and MC talk about souls like it's a thing that exists and has weight to it?? And now they're talking about how Sylus eats wanderers?? I would have shrugged this whole thing off if it weren't for the narration "Sylus doesn't look like he enjoyed his food"

The narration from before mentioned Sylus's "Desire for protocores"

I'm guessing that protocores = souls = 21 grams

So... Sylus eats cores? Just like how MC absorbs cores? He couldn't eat the core that MC has so he ate the wanderer cores?

So like... where do the cores go? Does he absorb their power? Or does he need them to live like how dragon Sylus needs souls to survive?

If cores are food for Sylus then... does he just continue to get stronger by absorbing them or does he "digest" them somehow? Does his body use their energy up?

Can anyone just eat/absorb cores then? What do Sylus and MC have in common, besides having half of a dragon soul fused with them? i don't think it's connected to their bond considering the Ever person basically shoved that core into her and I doubt she knew anything about her past life in a different timeline???

Sylus must already know that wanderer souls/cores taste awful because it's not like this is the first time he saw a wanderer, so why did he eat them anyway? If he has to force himself to eat souls/cores, then that means he needs them to survive? IE: He's still a dragon?? One of Moments posts suggests that MC already knows he's a dragon

I wish they made it clear if Sylus was actually absorbing cores as a "meal" or if this is just some weird joke because I'm too autistic for this lmao. Like???

Sylus is already strong enough with his evol? Does his evol run on energy absorbed by cores?? He definitely uses his evol to absorb some kind of energy from the people he killed

So does he?? Need to recharge his evol by absorbing energy from wanderers, people, or cores?? Is that why he chose the life of a criminal and lives in the N109 Zone? Because it's full of death?? He needs death to survive and recharge??

OH

MY

GDO

THE N109 ZONE IS A FREE ENERGY CHARGING STATION FOR HIM

THERE'S ENERGY EVERYWHERE FOR HIM BECAUSE EVERYONE'S ALWAYS GETTING KILLED

AND IF HE KILLS SOMEONE, NO ONE'S GONNA CARE BECAUSE IT'S THE N109 ZONE AND HE CAN EAT ALL THE ENERGY HE WANTS

WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST TELL US THIS CLEARLY INSTEAD OF MC JUST ACTING LIKE IT'S THE MOST NORMAL THING IN THE WORLD IT ABSORB FUCKING CORES LIKE THEY'RE CANDY

I MEAN. I GUESS IT IS NORMAL FOR HER BUT HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW??

Dragon Sylus's playstyle pretty much encapsulates this idea, of regaining health by killing enemies, so I guess it would make sense that the same could be applied to Human? Sylus?

Kitten #14 and we're still in the first chapter. This kitten marathon is really trying to weed out the weak huh lmao

✨The Witcher 4 Trailer Spoilers ! ✨

First of all : OH MY GOOODD IM SO HAPPY IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO WOKE UP ???? I was sleeping when my partner just whispered in my ears "the witcher 4's trailer is out." ??? Loved it :'))) But now let's talk about what happens in it ?

(books spoilers included !!) Ciri being the main character is awesome and I'm impatient to play as her and more importantly, having her BACK as the main character she ALWAYS have been. Despite loving Geralt with my whole heart, the witcher saga always have been about ciri AND her parents (Geralt + Yennefer). I always felt like it was logical to start the story with the parents and then the child ? it is an easy way to write a story but also the more logical (in my mind at least). So having CDprojekt do the same as the books is not surprising. If you loo closely, the games ALWAYS follow a similar storyline of the book saga... and that's why the games work so well ! Some people in the Youtube comments section where talking about the lore accuracy and how some stuff is not possible. Well, it is lie 25 to 30 % book accurate when it comes to magic spell and the "ability to drink potions" stuff has already been suggested or shown in the Witcher 3.

Magic spell : Yennefer did teach her all the basic spells in the books when they both live at Melitele Temple. We read about ciri using them (or trying too, let the girl learn) + she uses magic again to save Ihuarraqua + at the end of the saga, she was supposed to enter the Lodge, only powerful sorcereress can enter (as far as I know) ! The thing is : we do not see her use it (except the elder blood one) in the witcher 3 so i get that most of the time we forget that ciri is a witcher AND a sorceress. In the game, it is only adressed one time and it's in a punch Avallac'h make to Yennefer at Kaer Morhen about how little her teaching about magic was... We also know without actually seeing it that Avallac'h teach her magic the whole time they were together.... so seeing her using it in the trailer is NO SURPRISE but more like FINALLY hhhhh

"Ciri drining potions ?" : It is very small but (!) at the end of the Blood&Wine DLC, if Geralt doesn't end up with Yen or Triss, Ciri comes to see him at Corvo Bianco. They then talk about stuff and she happened to explain she succeeded in killing a vampire by drinking a black blood potion (I played in french and its Sang Noir for me so I don't know if it's the right name for the potion in english)... So at the end END of the 3rd game it is suggested that ciri can indeed consume witcher's potions. And I feel like we will finally get our answers in the next game :'))) and that's fantastic.

To conclude : I feel like this trailer is no surprise AT ALL, for having read the books and played the 3rdgame (3 times at 100%... I have no social life) , the next game just feels like the normal following of everything. Even if Ciri getting the trials of glass and having the cat eyes seems more like "the gamer wishes" than book accuracy (???) well who cares, the games definitely aren't 100% Book lore accurate to start with so.... but it didn't forbid us to have fun and experienced one of the best games ever, so who cares in the end hehe CDPR just kind of suggested all of it before in my eyes hhh I just hope the next one is going to be as wonderful as the others :) CDprojekt writing and world building are crazy, very humanness and deeps, i'm so impatient omg Sorry for my english by the way. I just wanted to vent somewhere so don't take my words as craved ones in the stones tho hhh 😭

[scythlyven-art]

hi! i just found your art and holy fuck it's amazing. I'm sending this cause I'm curious about your warlock au you mentioned in one of the posts and if youd be willing to share any info on it

Hi! I’m glad you found my little hole here and that you like my art!! :D

There’s not too much info to share on the warlock au other than snippets I’ve written on Twitter about it but I can share the basics! (Ie just coping some of my tweets lol this is quite the novel so sorry in advance but you did ask for it)

“Basically the au is normal VM minus Percy. Percy in this au is sort of a combo of him and Orthax (some) power and appearance wise. He’s a demon that lives. In a big fancy sciencey castlevania Dracula style castle by himself.

He controls the only known major deposit of White Stone for Residuum and the area is watched over by loyal undead servants or animated suits of armor and the whole area is hidden away.

Not a big user of magic still but it comes free with being a ✨ demon ✨

In a direct fight between Percy and the Briarwoods Percy would easily win- his centuries of knowledge vs a relatively new vampire and necromancer they don’t stand a chance. Which is why they resort to cheating of sorts using an artifact beyond their power.

Whispered One hooks them up with it and they basically wait until the right moment to catch Percy completely off guard before sealing him away in it. There’s not much he can do once he’s trapped and the Braidwoods take full control over the Residuum supply.

Cut to 5 ish years later and VM stumble upon some oldish ruins with a few corpses and hidden treasures. One of which is an old brooch that was given to Percy centuries ago by his human sister- it means a lot to him but has been lost for awhile.

Vex finds it and thinks it looks pretty cool so she holds onto it. It has magical properties from Percy’s possession of it so despite his cage he can sense it being moved and handled. He decides to pay a visit to the new current owner of it later that night in a dream.

It’s a lot of smoke and darkness on Vex’s end. She can’t really tell who or what she’s looking at but it’s vaguely human. In the few hours prior Percy poked around her mind (not extensively) just learning a few things about her.

He proposes to her a deal— he can grant her some extra power (to the extent his cage will let him) as well as knowledge to aid her in battles and to make new arrows and outfit her bow with modifications to make it stronger.

In return she helps free him from his prison.

She wants reassurance he’s not evil since he’s all smokey and clearly a demon of some kind. He can’t guarantee her he hasn’t done things she as a mortal might find evil but generally speaking he’s pretty neutral since he is the main supplier of Residuum for the world.

She needs time to think and process the deal. He tells her to take her time since he isn’t exactly going anywhere. But as a token of his good intentions he spots her some of his magic over the next few days which may or may not help convince her to agree.

She eventually agrees and the pact is sealed. A smokey tattoo takes up the lower part of her inner forearm. She’s careful not to roll up her sleeves or show this in any way to the group. But from this point forward she can freely talk to Percy at any time. The only catch is while she hears him in her mind she has to verbally respond.

Her internal thoughts are kept away from Percy which is good and bad because now she has to be careful about when she can respond so the others don’t think she’s crazy and start asking questions.”

-

I’ve spotted some more ideas from this but I feel like this sums up the main details. I’d love to possibly write it someday but I’m currently working on a fic still and I’m more of an artist than a writer. If I try to start this as a fic before finishing the other one neither will get done :’)

But yeah I hope this answered your question!!

Spoilers for the Zombies francize

Hey y'all

Look I'm finally using this blog for its intended purpose!

So my brother & I just watched Zombies 4 and I have a lot of thoughts.

Zombies 4 is a bad sequel. Is it a bad movie? Not really. If it was a stand all movie I'd probably just think it was okay but as another movie in the Zombies universe it is so terrible.

Spoilers for the whole thing past this point :)

Zombies 4 is very similar to Zombies 1. The premise of both is that you have two people from opposing societies that fall in love and bring their communities together. You can make a bit of an argument that it's different because in the first movie the humans are oppressing the Zombies however in this movie the day walkers and the vampires don't have connection to each other. What I found really odd about that is that the day walkers really should have been oppressing the vampires or at least more actively affecting them.

We see at multiple points that day walkers have propaganda about vampires. In the song Don't Mess With Us Ray (a day walker) brings up both Dracula and threatens the vampires with garlic. You may think this is just classic vampire stuff but in this universe Vampires don't drink blood or harm people in any way and we have no record of them being harmed by garlic either. The day walkers are said to have not had contact with vampires before this so you would think that this is straight just them making shit up about their distant neighbors. The thing is we find out at the end of the movie that the day walkers and vampires used to friends but now they aren't so this was literally propaganda done by their higher ups to put them against each other. This propaganda worked really well too.

There's a scene about half way through the movie where a group of day walkers tries to set a building where all the vampires are sleeping on fire which had it worked would have killed most of the vampire children. The day walkers are also shown to be highly trained and skilled for the sole purpose of murdering vampires. And yet they really aren't villains. The only time we see them in a bad light is when the main day walkers dad tries to murder all of them which is pretty much just brushed off(this was seperate from the setting the children on fire incident btw). The movie shows the day walkers to be just as bad as the vampires but the vampires only react to the day walkers. They are not the problem. We don't even hear about them having propaganda about the day walkers because in our universe day walkers are just vampires who can be in day light and also typically murder vampires. And like that could work if not for the fact that the day walkers in the movie are all of those things.

The movie also isn't great from a musical stand point. None of the songs are objectively bad but none of them are memorable. Granted I've always been more of a Desendants person when it comes to the music but usually I find one song where I'm like ya that goes hard. Like I've always been a fan of the werewolves songs from the second movies (I was listening to that album while writing this and I literally had to stop to vibe when call to the wild came on) and I don't even mind their song in the third movie. But in this one there really isn't one that stands out. I like Don't Mess With Us but I really don't like the chorus to that song it's pretty basic and I honestly feel like it talks away from the song. Kerosene is also pretty good but I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to listen to it.

There is one song that I really don't like and that is My Own Way. Now anyone who is a Disney channel fan might recognize that title and you would be right to. This song is essentially if you merged Gotta Go My Own Way from High School Musical 2 and If Only from Descendants 1. Honestly when this song came on it made me realize what was wrong with the whole movie.

There's no creativity behind it. This movie is simply a rehash of the first movie with a few elements from the second sprinkled in for flavor. The similar premise and the one line about how they'll be the next Zed and Addison made me think this movie was just to set up the next line of movies with different protagonist but I know Disney won't do that because they're honestly scared to try anything. How do I know this? Ignoring the constant remakes, if they weren't scared they would have actually killed Zed. For anyone who doesn't know Zed is half of the main couple and him and his girlfriend Addison have a song that is the basis of their relationship. As Zed was dying in the 4th movie they sang a reprise of that song which in musical terms is essentially a final good bye. The writer used plot convince to make Zed survive. He should have died but they can't risk going outside the mold with this movie. You can see this in so many ways. The fact that vampires don't drink blood, how the racism and hate crimes are just glanced over, the fact that all these movies have a G rating dispute being theoretically made for teens. I would say that they don't want to lose their cash cow but the third movie had a budget of 40 million dollars and was only released on streaming so I can't imagine it made that much money. Yet they still don't want to try new things. They won't even let Zed and Addison's torch be passed on two the couple that's basically Zed and Addicon 2.0 because the higher ups are scared of change and creatives are either tired or have left completely.

This was a frustrating movies to watch and I am generenely upset about it. Disney channel was actually experimenting a little bit. Prom Pact seemed to be trying to move them back toward their teen audience and while Descendants 4 didn't do that and was honestly not that good it was at least something different. That movie was boardline not a Descendants movie, it was mediocre but they had to try a little bit, there were good songs in that and it managed to somehow inspired me to plan a fix it fic because I saw that there was something good there and that someone was trying. Thats not what this movie was and it honestly just makes me sad.

Sorry for providing your annual dose of 'we live in a capitalist hellscape and its even ruining what smalls joys you can find' but I just really needed to get this out of my system.

I'm working on an Equestria Girls Sander Sides AU. I might just make designs for it I might make a full comic idk yet depends on how long my motivation last.

Thanks for reading everyone. I'll see y'all later.

How do you begin the first chapter of a story you already have planned out?

Always with an action!!

I personally don't believe in telling people there are wrong ways to do a thing, but I will describe what I personally think is best for the opening scene of a new story/novel.

A really common pitfall, in my opinion, for any fictional narrative is getting caught up in exposition. It makes sense that we get the urge to do things this way, because it's how we tell stories to friends about things that have happened to us.

"Okay, so let me give you background so you know who is who or whatever..." or "Okay, so for context..." are how I start a lot of tea spilling sessions, and its great for colloquial storytelling, but not a great way to get readers engaged from the start.

Whenever I start a book, I think of it less as a historical account and more of myself as the writer arriving to the character's life at a specific point in time, and leaving it at a specific point in time. Because of this, I think the best way to start a story is in the middle of something in their day. Here are some of the first paragraphs from my vampire story:

I scraped another jagged line in the already-worn paint on the wall, marking another tick among the other tidy rows of carved lines in the wall. I relished the feeling of old paint and soft, decaying wood sliding beneath my too-long fingernail. It hurt, but at least I was feeling something.  The first thing they did to me when I arrived at The Tower was glamour my name away.   One moment I was a person, and the next I wasn’t. All I was left with was the milk-warm feeling of the glamour on me dissipating too quickly, leaving me cold and without a sense of self. I could remember everything about my life—everything that had led me to this horrific moment, but not the core of my being. Not the most basic of identifiers. Not my name. 

And another from my Unseelie Court Meets Peaky Blinders WIP:

I pressed my back against the cold, damp brick outside the public house on Main and Besom. My heart raced so fast that I could feel the steady thump of it painfully in my neck. I didn’t know how far I’d run, but I knew I’d done it faster than I ever had before.   How many days late was I now? Five? No wonder Thomas had two others in tow.    I panted, my ribcage straining against my corset, even with it only loosely laced. I felt like I could hardly get a breath in at all. Closing my eyes and forcing myself to slow, I looked down the alleyway behind the pub. If I dodged down that way, I’d have to walk through some of the dodgier areas of The Strid, but it would be better than risking running into the Half-Blind Barber’s men.    I’d heard about Thomas’s proclivities from my friends in the Rose Garden, and I knew that he would relish the chance to carve me up like a roasted pheasant. 

I like starting stories this way because 1) it's way more fun to write for me than to spend hours trying to come up with an engaging, yet exposition-y opening and b) I get to lead with character instead of trying to find some way to shoehorn them into the lore.

The thing that's really awesome about your reader? They usually read a lot and can fill in a lot of the blanks. I found when I was first writing I always panicked about the reader seeing my story EXACTLY how I saw it in my mind. But at the end of the day, that's not actually that important and over-explaining anything can actually ruin reader immersion.

I try to never write two thousand words of description where a well-placed metaphor or comparison will do. Let your reader's mind do the heavy lifting.

Could I describe a castle in thousands of words talking about the period of architecture and the way that the buttresses look? Yes. I can. You know what's faster and more entertaining to read?

"The castle has the austere elegance of a sacred temple, and was nearly as quiet as you would expect one to be, too."

You have an image in your mind, reading that, right? See, in my head, I see a mormon temple; not because I am mormon, but because I have been to a mormon temple and I find their structures beautiful but also incredibly, deeply haunting.

Someone else may think of the time they visited the Sistine Chapel. Or of the Wayfarer Chapel in Palos Verdes, because they had an aunt who got married there. Yet another person may thing of their local jewish temple. Another person may think of Wyrm's Crossing in Baldur's Gate. At the end of the day, it doesn't truly matter what they see in their heads or understand is going on based on the text--what matters is that they can glean what this place looks, sounds, and maybe even smells like because they have linked it to a place that they have ALREADY experienced IN REAL LIFE)

All of those tangents to say--I don't worry about backstory until I need it. I like to try to make the reader feel like they're getting to know the characters at the same time they're getting to know each other.

Sorry for this very long winded answer--thank you for asking me about writing! I LOVE talking about it (as you can tell rip)

✨Good day and Happy STS!✨

Could I ask about the overarching plot of Search for the Legendaries?

*holds up a sign that says “Ramble all ya want, friend!”*

Have a lovely day!

Thank you so much for the question!!! I always appreciate questions about my WIP!

Search For The Legendaries is the first of the Interdimensional series.

Our story takes place in Eight Alters - a self-contained multiverse that connects to each other in different spots of certain worlds through portals. And we have a world to focus on from each of the universes across the series (the worlds are mostly explored in later books though, and the remainder of the universes will likely be explored in Team Space side stories). Feel free to ask me about the worlds too, since I'm planning to show them more in other books, I might not go into detail here.

So a bit of background lore (that is briefly touched upon in the prologue): The Eight Alters' main Soul Collector; BEISLAR was always blamed for the deaths by that dead person's loved ones, and sees manu life stories never truly finished because of his job, so in an attempt of "righting his wrongs", he decided to rebel the order of Balance by first stopping to collect souls, and after allying with an Alyreen magic user named Eihlor, giving those that supported him a form of immortality (whether by turning them into living immortal spirits, vampires, or simply giving them immunity or regeneration depebding on many factirs).

Things were fine at first, but soon became problem when some of his allies started to conquer lands and do whatever else they wanted without any fear, as death was prevented, they had magic to help them, and they had a bigger influence now. Beislar tried to stop them by using the "Breaking Connection" and "Draining" sides of his ability. And even though he ended up stopping them, now these people were apart of him as apart of the spell; which expectedly slowly made him also thirst for power, combination of all of them driving him mad in time.

Onto the Legend Of Karril, where six of the eight worlds (Karinses, Umbraer, Meras, Solium, Mirenkai, and Nihil) are conquered by the forces of Beislar and Eihlor, most people who didn't join them either going to hiding or trying to put up a fight and being defeated with ease. Next up was Yugenri (the central world of the Legend) and then finally Tiria (basically the equvelant of Earth, only accessible through Yugenri). The people of Yugenri tried their best to fight, and called upon NIHYNIA (the goddess of space, worlds, and dimensions) to help them restore the balance. Nihynia was unwilling at first, as she's used to seeing worlds end, but Eliltta (the goddess of life and creation), who ranks higher than Nihynia, suggested they give the people a chance and not leave them unheard. So ten of the deities gave up small pieces of their power, sending them with Nihynia and LIRZIAS (god of darkness and the original creator of Beislar and other Soul Collectors). These were forged into crystals and given to ten of the heroes fighting in the frontlines, Lirzias also blessing them to have a spirit person loyally accompany each of them. They managed to  defeat Beislar only partially. He was weakened and sealed in the dimension of Umbraer (which becane the first non-functioning dimension of Eight Alters), and many of the followers weakened. But not entirely. Some of his followers managed to escape and cause chaos across the Eight Alters, for the next several hundred years. After the battle, upon Eliltta's request, Thiruneah (the goddess of time) measured a thousand year time limit for the Carriers of these ten crystals to reunite and finish what their ancestors have started.

The crystals that harbor the powers of each of the ten deities represent: Life, Time, Space, Nature, Technology, Mind, Soul, Body, Light, and Darkness.

After the battle each crystal has shattered into five pieces and scattered across the worlds, while one out of each five piece was in Tiria or Yugenri, passed down from generation to generation of Carriers for centuries.

In the start of our story, it's the year 989 AL (after Legemd), only eleven years left for the time limit to be up. Things have changed a lot. There are three major organizations trying to assert their control over more area: BSA, Dark Crystal, and Theorists respectively. Relative peace is established not only in Tiria, but also on half of the other worlds like Yugenri, Meras, and Karinses, while Solium and Mirenkai descended into further chaos. And Nihil has become a world where the spirits of the dead are sent to now (as there's no Soul Collector to pick them up now). For one last chance, BSA is searching for the new generation of the Carriers of the crystals.

In this book, we have 8 POV characters: Rosena (Rose), Tom, Shan, Kent, Faren, Frank, Alondra, and Beallius, as well as an "Overseer" character. The first five (Rosena, Tom, Shan, Kent, and Faren) are among the new Carriers, while Frank is working for Dark Crystal to prevent BSA from getting more power, ss well as communications with LORKNESS (who's the new name of Beislar). Beallius is a BSA spy inside Theorists, while Alondra is invited back to BSA in a protector role. Each with their own personalities, struggles, and motives.

So I want to ramble more about what's actually going on in the book, but I don't want to spoil much, and I've been writing for awhile now, so I'll stop here. Let me know if you'd like to hear more though!

In general, it'll be a long, epic science-fantasy series (depending on the world), which I hope will be interesting!.

And yes, the names written in bold, italics, and capitals are major deity-like characters. If only two of them apply, they're also either major non-deity characters or non-major deity characters.

Day 2 Day 4 Christmas Masterlist Main Masterlist AO3 Join my taglist

You glanced tiredly around your now very cluttered living room. You had spent half the day pulling out Christmas decorations, and then shopping for even more. You were excited. This was the first year you were spending Christmas with all the guys. It had been two years since the five of you hooked up in that hotel room. You had held to the decision to meet regularly for more trysts. For over a year the five of you got together at least monthly—more if you could. Sometimes it wasn’t all four of the men, work and life got in the way, but you hadn’t gone more than a few weeks without seeing at least one of them.

After that first year something shifted. Deeper feelings developed, and you all realized you wanted this to be a more permanent arrangement. Basically, a guy at work started to show interest, and you told the guys. You had no interest in your coworker, but you never kept secrets from these men, so you let them know someone was pursuing you while out to dinner one night. They all went very still and quiet. You knew they discussed it when you excused yourself to go to the bathroom because when you went back to Oberyn’s house, they immediately proposed a plan.

They hated the idea of anyone else with you. You were theirs. So, despite all four men being devout bachelors, they committed to you right then and there. A few months ago you all moved in together, and it was absolute bliss.

Oberyn and Dave didn’t have their kids this year for the holidays, so you wanted to make it extra special to take their minds off not being with their children…hence the decoration overload currently inhabiting your living room.

“Holy shit,” a deep male voice startled you from your thoughts. You turned to see Max and Santi had arrived home.

“Oh, thank God you’re here!” You exclaimed in relief. You kissed them both in greeting.

“What happened in here?” Max asked.

“I need your help,” you began. “I want to get this all sorted and the tree up before Oberyn and Dave get home. Then we can all decorate the tree together.”

“You know what? I’m not even gonna ask,” Santi chuckled. “Just tell me what you need me to do.” A little over an hour later the three of you had made a lot of progress. The tree was up and almost everything was organized.

“I’m gonna order some dinner,” Santi said as he glanced at his watch. “They’ll be home soon, and I’m sure they’ll be as hungry as we are.”

“Good idea,” you agreed.

“Max, you eating what we’re having or…something else?” Santi asked.

“I’ll eat with you guys,” he answered. His hot gaze fell on you. “I’ll have ‘something else’ for dessert.” You shivered in anticipation. Max didn’t always feed off of you. He was afraid of going too far and hurting you. But when he did, it felt so damn good. You felt strong arms wrap around you from behind.

“Would you like that, sweet cheeks?” Max whispered in your ear. He ran his nose up the side of your neck. “You want me to suck on this beautiful throat later?”

“Mmm, yes please,” you moaned. Just then you heard the front door open. Dave and Oberyn walked in, their eyes widening slightly at the scene before them.

“Wow,” Oberyn said. “You’ve been busy.” Max dropped his arms so you could rush forward to greet the others. After kissing them both you stepped back and surveyed them. They looked tired, but relieved to be home.

“Are you guys up for some tree trimming?” You asked.

“Of course, baby girl,” Dave said as Oberyn nodded. You clapped in excitement.

“Yay!” You cheered. “This is going to be so much fun.”

“Dinner’s ordered and on the way!” Santi called out. You assigned tasks to everyone, and the five of you got to work. Elf played on the tv and in no time at all the tree was done. Dinner arrived, and you decided to eat in the family room so you could admire the tree. You all sat on floor around the coffee table while you enjoyed dinner.

You couldn’t wipe the smile off your face. Your life had changed so much in the last 2 years, and you couldn’t wait to see how much better it would get.

SIGMA IS KAFKA ASAGIRI

random theory/thought that turned into a rabbit hole, plz read

Not sure if this will get seen and I'm hella sleep deprived rn but a thought occured.

BSD man...

As of rn we don't know who Sigma is or what exactly he is. New official art, as I've seen, has some already guessing his origins and which author he's based off of.

But I have a dumb lil thought/theory.

He's born from "The Book" INSIDE bsd. So what if...

Sigma is Kafka Asagiri?

Why? Where'd this thought come from?

There's a vampire manga series I read in high school that was a journey of the main character (le gasp) but it was "written" by the character himself. As in the "author" of this manga series WAS the main character. (Honestly the author's last name was shortened for his main character but I think it's still relevant) (plus I think it was a novel before manga...? Idk but I've only read the manga)

As I know, it was written as if the another WAS the main character.

My guess is that he wanted his story to feel like it was ACTUALLY written by the MC but still have his story be linked to him when ppl look in libraries and stuff. I've had a similar thought to as my own story does canonically break the 4th wall so to have the MC's name as the AUTHOR adds to the illusion; the immersion. And I remember that THAT was such a cool thing to do when reading this awhile back.

I have no basis for this "Sigma is Kafka Asagiri" but with him kinda being his own character as of rn (not off of an author or even one we know of yet) he severely sticks out compared to EVERYONE.

Author vs Characters

Plus, this just came to me, his ability is basically "I touch you and know what you know" right?

So, as an aspiring author and comicteer and such, I have some words. Over the years id make characters and stories but it quickly became not my own, like it was alive, the things I created. The characters from my pen would move and do things on their own and by watching them, I'd learn of who they are. And as this continued, it really wasn't ME, the author, making these characters do things.

Yes, I do guide the story but I can't tell them to just do things just because; especially if it's not their nature. It's like forcing them to be what they are not. You can make up scenarios to lean them towards a path. I've have to basically "rehire" new characters because the villain I wanted wasn't in front of me like I hoped for. But that not-villian is someone else in the story.

So basically, even tho I'm the creator, I don't know all that happens. I'm even shocked as to what the conclusions are or who someone really is. Sigma being Asagiri's avatar (per say but not like living a fanfic of his own story/not self insert) would open up a hell of a 4th wall discussion. This could elude "The Book" as being BSD itself but I don't think it is.

The book is blank.

The blank pages are a possibility. They could just act as "sticky notes" to insert in a book to make changes later.

We don't know who brought from from that book either. Or if he was in the first place. Possibly just a simple loophole for Sigma=Asagiri.... idk

Ability =Author..?

Possibly BSD story is as we see it now, a trainwreck of bad news and the world ending but he couldn't find a way or change it. As I said, authors vs characters so Sigma was born into that world to change the outcome. Without Sigma, how different would the story be? We don't even know about him until hella later nor what his existence impacted the story before that.

I think he feels a lot like Atsushi because it's that lost MC thing. Cliche as it sounds, it's not a bad start for an MC, to be naive, lost, hopeless, and running until something changes. All they can go is up despite the monsters in their minds trying to drag them down. How different would the story be if Sigma was the MC instead? Would we know too much without actually knowing what it means?

Sigma's ability I think also taps into that "as an author, I only know what my characters tell me" thing. And if Asagiri did create Sigma to change BSD then following the rules of "The Book", he had to have Sigma fit into the world. Thus an ability based off an author (in a 4th wall sense rather then we in that world sense). And Sigma would then be just as clueless and maybe even hopeless as Asagiri would've felt but he's the only hope.

Again Sigma would be an insert just alien enough and blend in enough to maybe make a change. Plus a world of authors and books and abilities, introducing a character without those is like pulling a +4 uno card on us all. (Sneaky lmao)

Random rabbit hole of Σ, ς, σ (Sigma)

Sigma is the 18th letter of the Greek alphabet (Pheonician). Three ways to write it would be uppercase (Σ), lowercase (σ), and final-word position (ς). Sigma origin (šīn) meaning tooth.

I find this funny as Sigma is not of this world and his name basically means "sin". Kinda like he wasn't meant to be here. Or maybe punishing him for "writing/creating" the world of BSD if he's the avatar for Asagiri. Think that's fits with the thought that he made the world but has to suffer the end of that world but his last hope is Sigma.

(I'm bs-ing so hard rn, I'm so sorry 😭)

Plus, I thought this : sigma is used in complicated mathematics and symbols used often in "covariance matrix" which is basically math to map out MULTIDIMENSIONAL SPACES

"Multidimensional matrix". It's how to calculate data across two dimensions.

Using data to go from one place to another much like from inside the story to the auth-

Daemons and Angels

I had watched a Genshin Impact lore/theory video that had talked about some of the cube bosses names came from the Hebrew alphabet. They explained that these cubes correlate to the gods of the land and the elements they represent. These gods also have interesting names too. They have normal names but but the land and history, they go by names of demons from a book called the Ars Goetia.

These cube bosses and gods both have angel and demon names but besides them relating to one other by elements, their angel/demon names match up.

72 Daemons of Ars Goetia and 72 Angels of Shem Hamephorash.

(I sounded smart there for a sec but it's difficult to find the specific letters that correlate to these beings. There's 22 letters and 72 d/A's. ????)

Hebrew and Greek meaning

Σ (Greek sigma) came from שׁ (Hebrew sigma letter).

It's been flipped and changed to the one we know of as Σ. Which is Greek number for 18. In Hebrew 21 and pronounced as Shin, literally meaning tooth. The symbol also representing flames and transformation. Much like a forest fire, the ashes give way for the soul to reabsorb and grow anew thus a transformation. With flame and essential rebirth, the yin and yan, this ultimately represents balance.

It's the processing of destruction without the evil and rebuilding without the sorrow. Much like destruction can be seen as a sort of chaotic creation.

The way Shin is written is with 2-3 Vavs.

Vavs is the Hebrew number 6 and it means "hook". This letter has the power to bring things together when they've become separated in creation.

With this in mind...

His ability literally is to get info outta people like "their" truths

Sigma relation to D.N.A ➡️ specific names

One article talks of them being both letters and numbers, they have a correlation to human DNA. The building blocks. Relation to animo acids and how to tell the body how to process with 22 amino acids.

http://blog.cristianacaria.com/2014/11/26/the-72-angels-and-the-power-of-the-hebrew-letters/

⬆️ this article goes on to talk about how when we are all born, 3 letters are somehow assigned to us at birth and they make up a name of that daemon/angel. This explains the article for Socrates I found before this that talks of how it was believed that he was watched over by a daemon/angel. And had essentially helped him "change the world" and himself thru his philosophy.

This surely explains the 22 to 72 math problem earlier. (Daemons and Angels paragraph)

https://www.idler.co.uk/article/socrates-and-the-angels/#:~:text=Angels%20can%20be%20linked%20to,realms%20of%20mortals%20and%20gods.

Sigma (BSD) age meaning?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SIGMA BEING BORN 3 YEARS AGO HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING.

3 years could mean 1,095-1,096 days of living roughly so that really doesn't do me any good.

I'm done now

Purely speculation but this is based of like 3 brain cells, my author nerdy ass and artistic standpoint in crafting worlds and shit plus it's like 3 am rn 😭

Edit: it's 5:42 am now

Simple read rather than read all that :

Other manga gave thought that Sigma is the authors character like another other character in BSD.

Dazai Osamu, no longer human

Kafka Asagiri, bungou stray dogs

Sigma, information exchange

Maybe Sigma made to help world of BSD but not like self insert. And Sigma Greek and Hebrew letters mean to tear down and rebuild. A balance between mercy/kindness and justice/truth.

Letters relation to Daemons/angels and how they can lead one to change.

Thank you for your time 🥲

~King.M.

[hihopelessromantics]

OOOH! Definitely interested in your wips. Would love to hear more about these in particular (whichever one(s) you feel like sharing)

(also yes definitely still happily stuck inside this fandom bubble)

will indulge!!! (This is long but it's good to organize my thoughts lol)

I straight up forgot to put the name of this one lol. Meliodas doing dangerous antics is part of my Through the Wall sequel fic, called "Stakeout" which is the one where I have him cooking. I tried to mix in some humor with the angst here. It's basically Stigma Meliodas if Nakaba didn't nerf his intellegence. This one, I'll be feeding you guys soon!! Because I plan to try to finish Through the Wall this Thanksgiving Break, since I started it last thanksgiving break (ambitious I know, but imagine the poetism if I pull it off!) and Stakeout is farther along in its completion than that one. Stakeout is about Meliodas looking out for the TC and his brother from the opposite of the war. The first part is him deciding to try to get them dinner after seeing how worn-down they are, and the second . . . well, he can't exactly leave Zeldris to watch over both the Vampire and Demon Realms all by his lonesome, right? I'm actually really excited for you and @7-ratsinatrenchcoat to see this one in particular when it's finished because I tried to channel the melizabeth energy I liked in your work

This one is named such not cause I wanna name it something bulky (it has a better name! that's the exclusive lore lol) but I'm commited not to spoiling the plot twists in this one. This is gonna be my main gift to this fandom, a spiced up psychological horror rewrite of the whole show with original elizabeths and original adventures for the first and second season (that one is a backstory with Liz!) Plot point collaboration welcome. A bunch of season one, and the plot tiwsts, I made with my good friend zeldriszezinho, and I'm pretty antsy and excited to finally get around to it and present him with the result of our hard work, haha. I actually have a lot of senarios planned both in detail and loosely, just not written down. I'm currently procrastinating on Season 1 Pt. 2 because it's literally 5 or so arcs of content, one for all the sins, and uh. mental energy. So I'm trying to finish up a lot of small projects first just so my mind isn't everywhere. I can't remember if you've seen what I've posted on it so far but here's the masterpost and season one part one! It's on tumblr too! but I went ahead and pressed the space bar like 4 times every indent so it would be normally formatted on A03 sooooo https://archiveofourown.org/works/48567730 https://archiveofourown.org/works/48611485/chapters/122618557

3. Ironically, think Rings was another one inspired by you - it's old, almost 8 months by now, and the only reason I haven't published it yet is the second ellie spiraled out of control into her own adventure and I haven't had the time because I've been word vomiting so many other projects into existence. it's half meme format, half usual writing. The second ellie's meme story is complete and the third's just needs its wrapping up of its actual plot, which is simple: an arrogant man thinks his bride is secretly a nutcase, but feels pressured into marrying her because medival times, because she's a sweet and intellegent woman running an orphanage all by herself, and technically he can't do better, and because it would look disasterously on the both of them and destroy his carefully crafted persona if they somehow couldn't make this community-arranged marriage work. So he's "putting up with her quirks." Including the ancient what-looks-like-wedding-rings she wears around her neck, and the fact she genuinely thinks her one-that-got-away lover sold a prized possession to demons. (the significance of these rings is in the stories of the previous two elizabeths). Well. Actually. He steals them while she's distracted with wedding planning. It doesn't go well for him from there.

Let me know your opinion: should I try finishing the third ellie and then publishing it? I can always go back and make a full story out of "purple ring" ellie + friends later.

Basically, the purple ring's story is as thus: Meliodas decides he needs to rest, "REALLY rest", since his emotional stress is beginning to affect his demon biology in a bad way, and voluntarily coma-tizes himself for a while. He wakes some time later only to find out Elizabeth and her new 'family' have been considering him as their good luck charm. (Maybe even more than one Elizabeth has passed by now. Probably the apothecary he visits figures out what Meliodas meant to do and goes to fetch him, too late, and looks after him . . . see, that could be a whole OTHER story in itself. anyway.) He's a "good luck charm" because his demon aura has been disgusing the magical signature of her druid family, not that they've figured this out. Meliodas tries to get up and run away with an injured Ellie but surprise surprise he hasn't quite recovered from what his body and mind has been through, and the combination of that and the drugs has left him critcially weakened. He actually collapses falls down a small cliff with her. Ellie assures him they've gotten far enough to shake off the people who are searching for her, that it's okay. Moreover, she understands more or less what he's going through, since she lost her leg a while back. They reuinte with Ellie's little "siblings," druid children the family has rescued along their journey.

Later ~ the main organizers of their group are shocked to return to their isolated cabin to find that not only have all the children survived the winter, and possible clashes with whoever's been hunting them for decades, but there's one extra child! And a talking cow. (I haven't decided whether some of these people are semi-antagonsists.) Meliodas's condition never improves (angst angst <3) but he takes up the task of looking after the kids alongside Elizabeth anyway- especially when she and the others are gone, working or otherwise. Oftentimes he and the spunky talking cow go on adventures in the forest or in town, collecting herbs or materials for crafts and toys. She carries him, Hawk-style. I can't remember her name but it was a silly one, and he saves her life once with his wings. He's also fought away intruders once while the 'adults' weren't home with Full Counter, being able to stand for long enough to use it before collapsing.

In this iteration, Meliodas recieves his ring from his new 'siblings' as they say that "it's the same color as the magic you used to protect us." Referring to the times he's used his demon magic around the house, and, unknowingly, to the fact his very presence has been the only thing keeping them safe from raiders on more than one occasion. Throughout it all Meliodas struggles with having to be the one cared for for once, and not being able to be the muscle of this group that so clearly would benefit from him being his 'usual' self. While his siblings think he's a genuine gift from God, and are more than happy to look after him as he does them, trading stories between them and cuddling up like he truly belongs, adult members of the family never take a shine to him and resent him somewhat, even perrfering when he was comatose. There's more (and more angst) but I should probably say less.

4. (TW: this one gets DARK with the demon brothers angst) modern fantasy ireland boarding school au" is actually another gift for @gh0stofyesterday, who can't escape me, from back in like feburary or something lol. It's an angsty modern-day genderqueer demon brothers and genderqueer elizabeth. Basically Meliodas tricks his snooty father into letting him and his brother (who's not technically old enough but academically girlboss yourself outta that condundrum zeldris) go to boarding school in his deceased mother's home country, where Meliodas plans to study interior design (he's gonna design the boar hat himself <3) and, against his father's wishes, join the gymnastic team. Little does he know that his online friends in his tween gymnastics discord server or whatever (The TC) are also going to end up there. ( I have the scene where they realize he's not the snooty daughter of the DK ceo and actually their Captain planned out already actually. they realize it when he beats the snot out of some guy that chases zeldris through the gymnasium lol).

Other plot points include! Elizabeth and Meliodas have a secret online romance as "Study buddies" and plan to perform a ceremony to use whatever their magic is unsealed to share a bit of that magic with each other, as a kind of marriage ceremony (peak 14 year old romance lol). Meliodas and Zeldris learn (originally Irish) sign language in order to communicate without their father snooping. Cusack and Chandler deal with being technical slaves to the Demon King and attempt to parent their protegees in more important ways than teaching them fencing, keeping their secrets, and buying them things. Gelda explains she never cuddles with her sisters for emotional support, Zel and Mel feel sorry for her . . . then figure out they are touch-starved and probably need therapy for that too. Hot springs date. Zel discovers Mel has been cuddling him while laying on his side specifically because there are fresh child abuse wounds across his back. Meliodas commandeers his gymnastics coach's coaching authority and starts an underground fencing ring upon being told he can't do that (we go to school in a castle! c'mon!). Zeldris tries to deal with a ginger-haired kid who seems equally hellbent on being his friend as he is his school rival. Depending on how dark I'm gonna make this, you might even get to see a prolouge where Zeldris forgoes a plan to murder - suicide his brother following his mother's funeral after meeting a small Gelda at the playground. Oh, and the DK having to fidgit uncomfortably in court. This one is basically a for-fun daydream, but a pal volunteed to beta it for me so it will eventually get written up for you all!

[my-name-is-jefferooni]

I listened to one edit audio and now I have a new Sonic AU.

Okay, well it's more like a What If, I guess.

So for context, I have this STH AU that I've been silently developing in my brain for the past like 2-3 years now, basically since I first joined the fandom. It's an idea I had where Sonic had a family and shit but then Eggman existed and they got killed and so the mad genius took Sonic under his wing. After a whole decade of being used as a literal lab rat, the blue hedgehog finally finds freedom in the form of the Resistance, (Ironically enough I've decided to add in more resistance factions. One of them is called the Freedom Fighters like the one from Archie and yet Sonic didn't find freedom with them lmfao) and befriends the main cast.

What I'm thinking of right now is a sort of aftermath of Eggman's rule being taken down, when everyone finally gets to live in peace. Sonic and his friends (Including Omega because HE IS AN MVP AND SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED) have a little camping night and decide to tell ghost stories. Unfortunately, Knuckles being Knuckles, he took it all a bit too far and planned his whole story out after like a month of brainstorming. And I am not kidding when I say his story is fucking dark.

Mostly because it's actually my story lmfao but I digress.

It all begins when Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are called by some random guy to help take care of some weird haunted house situation. Knuckles wants to help because he wants to prove to Tails that ghosts are very much real and are in fact very terrifying. Sonic joins him just for the hell of it, and Tails is there to make sure those two don't commit any war crimes without his permission first. And, well...

Suffice to say, they find more than just ghosts there! :D

The first obstacle they run into is an angry doll spirit of sorts. The spirit is a physical manefestation of a horrified, terrified, screaming body crying out for help, and it plants little seeds of poison or something of the sort in your appendages if you get too close. Its screams are loud and can shatter one's soul in an instant! It glitches all the time too, allowing it to go through walls with some effort. And when laying dormant, the spirit resides within a little itty-bitty doll with a distorted face.

After running away from that thing, the group runs into a crack monster. (It's scarier than it sounds trust me) It's a black, inky humanoid monster that comes out from the cracks in the floor, grabbing onto to anything it can reach and never lets go. The only way to make it loosen its grip is to cut its arm off entirely. Don't worry, that doesn't harm the monster, because it's already dead! It'll grow back a new arm anyway. :3

What comes after this guy is a mix between a vampire and a ghost. This guy is a little more confusing cuz I didn't flesh it out very much but it kinda only shows up in pitch-black areas. No light to be found when ur with this guy! It's a bit more neutral compared to the other spirits. Just don't provoke it and you should be relatively fine! Key words: You should be fine.

Next up is a brain-sucking bat! (idk man I just wanted something that crawled around on the ceiling but a spider didn't feel right) And I know that doesn't sound as haunting as the others but trust me, it is terrifying! I don't know how to explain it, it just kinda crawls around on the ceiling and waits for you to lose your mind.

The next one is by far one of the scariest. Don't read this next paragraph if you have depression or have lost a loved one because it may be a little tough.

This spirit is... Interesting, to say the least. I still have yet to fully flesh out this one but basically it's a completely humanoid figure, no face, no eyes or mouth, just long thin hair in clumps on the scalp. It's not a full head of hair, it's all just scattered about like they put too much bleach on or something. And there is always a very strange aura around it as well... The neck is split in two, their hands tied in a noose and their feet tightly bound with shackles. Their only mode of transportation is eerily floating about, and it gains speed if it decides it wants to chase you. If you get too close, your neck will snap and you'll immediately collapse on the floor, dead. Knuckles and Tails don't have any interactions with this spirit, but Sonic does, and he somehow manages to make it out alive. However, the encounter changes him for the worst.

These spirits all reside within a seemingly small house, at least on the outside. When the three Mobians step inside though, they immediately get trapped inside and discover the house is far bigger than they could've ever imagined. It's dark inside, with hardly any light available, and every room feels cramped despite everything. Hallways are like mazes, and bedrooms are filled with this creepy, terrifying aura that can paralyze you just from stepping inside. So suffice to say, none of them have a good time.

The three begin to change as time goes on. Tails loses an arm to the first spirit, the doll one, and he has no way of replacing it. He becomes saddened, apathetic, but still holds out hope in finding some sort of exit. If not for himself, then for his brothers.

Knuckles becomes extremely paranoid, flinching at every little sound, movement, or wisp of the wind. The sight of dust just existing sends him into an internal panic, and encountering spirits just sends him into "Defend brothers at all costs" mode. He's also just the slightest bit selfish, but it's only because of his uncontrollable survival instincts and his heightened paranoia. He is prone to mood swings, but they're not nearly as bad as Sonic's.

As for the blue devil himself, Sonic just. Went insane. There is no downplaying it, he is a goner. There is still a strong moral code within him and he never wishes harm on anyone, least of all his brothers! However, when it comes to social queues or listening to what anyone has to say, he's just. Gone. He also experiences very drastic mood swings! They're so bad that one second he'll be crying and being all sad and pathetic, and then the next he'll be all happy and giddy and hyping everyone up! This still makes him the hype-man of the group despite everything. Due to his changing emotions, Sonic does tend to get a bit aggressive from time to time, and constantly belittles his brothers without meaning to. The others are understanding, but after he eventually realizes what he says or does, he becomes inconsolable, and his two companions just have to let him stew in his regret for a while. It never ends well, but when all is said and done, Sonic means well and just wants to get out like the rest of them.

After an undecided amount of time, the three do find an exit and begin to leave, but the crack monster gets ahold of Sonic's entire fucking body and puts its whole weight into it too. Knuckles and Tails don't have anything on them at the time to save Sonic, but they refuse to leave without him. The crack monster begins calling for its companions, and Sonic starts begging for his brothers to leave him behind. He's scared and he's hurting and he knows he'll be in even more pain if they leave, but they're family. Sonic can't just let his family share that pain.

Knuckles and Tails insist on staying, but after Sonic continuously begs them to leave, screaming and crying and trying to shove them away, and... Well... The two have no choice but to oblige.

The three give each other very quick and clipped goodbyes since the other spirits are literally like right outside the room, and then just like that... Knuckles and Tails are gone.

And Sonic is alone.

27, 28, and 31 if you're still taking asks for the fic meme please :)

27. Are any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

None of them in their entirety, although I do draw on my own experiences with sex and kink whenever I write smut. This is how I got, for example, Osvald using poppers in What Burns Between Us, or the kinky side to Partitio's crossdressing escapades. Also, all of my fics with sections set in New Delsta pull from New Orleans life and society as I've known it, albeit adjusted for the pseudo-early modern setting...which is easier to do than it sounds, since New Orleans is a city that very much feels its age.

28. What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

Well, the one I'm writing at the moment is quite angsty. Two different Osvalds switch places and are now separated from their respective spouses, with no understanding of how to get back home. It's going to turn out well in the end, but I'm definitely making them (and Partitio) suffer first. Through the Long Moonlit Night was pretty grim too, being a Halloween monster fic that mostly centers around how thoroughly Partitio would hate being a vampire.

For things I wouldn't actually write, when trying to work out Osvald's rational and generally unempathetic interiority during Wooing That Drifting Imagery, I had the thought that a hypothetically straight Osvald would have suggested that Partitio "cure" his homosexuality through electroshock or something like that - and that he would believe this to be a gesture of friendly concern, rather than something that would leave Partitio feeling even worse about himself. Thankfully for the ship I opted to have Osvald be comfortably bi right from the start, but that's long been in the back of mind as an unpleasant example of how he looks at the world.

31. What fic meant the most to you to write?

Lots of options:

What Burns Between Us put me on the fic-writing map and laid the groundwork for everything to follow. That said, while it's unquestionably my most popular story and there are certain sections I'm really proud of (Chapters 8 and 16, in particular), the further I get away from it the more I realize that WBBU was mostly me setting up a dividing line between canon and the stories I wanted to tell. That's why I've followed it with so many others, and why they're so varied in subject, tone, and length while still building off the same partial AU foundation.

Wooing That Drifting Imagery was my first post-WBBU fic and thus the first time I was definitively moving beyond canon. It also includes those elements I talked about with #27 above.

Because of To Make as Much of Vices as Virtues I'm basically the Papp/Roque author. I loved getting comments on that fic saying that the pairing is practically canon and I just made it so. Also, Roque is an incredibly fun character to write - easily my biggest discovery in fic writing so far.

Though it's a lighter semi-fluff piece I do like that I finally got around to Scenes from Intermission. It was quite the challenge working with all eight travelers and their relationships, which included tentative forays into writing M/F and F/F pairs. I also get the impression that it might have been what was more expected of me as a follow-up to WBBU? That or it just has broader appeal since it features the entire main cast instead of just my two faves.

Finally, 'Tis But the Truth in Masquerade returns to the stuff from #27 but even more so, and gave me the chance to write some complicated gender dysphoria bits alongside some very kinky smut. Like Papp/Roque, I'm pretty sure I can say that crossdressing, kind-of-sort-of bigender Partitio has become a distinctive marker of my fics and something that's likely going to stand out in my contributions to OT2 fanwork.

[toiletology]

Explaining the difference between 4D and 5D reality.

4D (density) is the next step outside of your current 3D reality. You can think of your current reality as a cube and the next step as the tesseract. It happens in your mind first, which then starts to shape your surrounding reality. Its a dimension that co-exist with the reality everyone is already experiencing, they just can't perceive it (yet).

Ascension/Rapture only happens on an individual basis. If you're waiting around on a savior or one mass wave or aliens beaming you up. Its not going to ever happen.

Even the aliens are bound by the laws of God. Which means they can't infringe on our rights/free will or free choice to choose to ascend. They must operate outside of our perception indirectly, just as God does.

If you've been waiting for something to happen in regards to ascension or rapture I recommend stop waiting. It will never happen globally.

I managed to ascend into 4D multiple times over the years. Finally in 2024 I am able to hold onto 4D permanently. Needless to say it is extremely hard and took me about 2 1/2 decades (24 years) of practice/learning/constantly searching, etc.

Once you are in 4D you are then able to start stepping into 5D. 5D for me is exactly like how it was for me from 3D to 4D. I can't hold onto 5D for very long. I managed to hold onto it for a few weeks on this last planetary alignment in June 2024.

The main difference between 4D and 5D is your belief in yourself. Of course you have an insane belief in your creative abilities in 4D, but you are still victim of your 3D doubts/insecurities.

In 5D you are creating magic with every step you take. So its harder for doubts about yourself to come into your mind. Your basically able to bend the laws of reality to your will much much easier.

The problem with 5D is it feels like fire on the inside of your body. While also simultaneously being weighed down by gravity. It can be a very unpleasant feeling if you're not strong mentally and physically. I am still getting used to the feeling and it usually will make me not be able to move like I am heavily sedated.

It bounces around from heavy sedation which makes it hard to work, to a heavy pull to move and work. I prefer the pull to move and work more so than the heavy sedation.

In Toiletology we call this high the SAUCE, SPICE, SLACK, SCENT, ACE, AMBROSIA, NECTAR, LOOSH, etc. It basically shows you, you are in perfect harmony with the one true creator of reality. It feels like you are a fully fed energetic vampire aka E-Vampgelical. (good vamp, not a bad one) Side note I did have my incisors shaved down when I was 19 because they were too vampiric looking.

Whatever 4D/5D muscle that is inside of us maybe the Pineal gland, tho it feels like a full body muscle that doesn't exist. Mine is still fairly weak and I am still working on developing it so it can handle the gravity/weight of it better .

5D for me right now is basically trying to catch the next celestial wave and learning to ride that wave as long as I can. When I'm riding this wave perfectly I can accomplish goals and create at a much more rapid rate. Ideas flow crystal clear, I can basically learn at a faster speed and figure out solutions to my problems much quicker. My intelligence is also a lot higher maybe even double what it is on average.

What everyone needs to realize is that we are already in heaven/hell here on Earth. The Garden of Eden is all around us. This human meat suit we call our bodies is made out of light and sound. Closer to to body/spirit/soul. This matter or material is nothing more than a holo-fractal illusion.

Once you realize this truth you realize you have the powers of God inside of you waiting to be unlocked. You don't need any mass awakening or savior figure to come save you.

Mark 9:23 "And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!" .

Its all about believing in yourself and locking onto the frequency of God which is the frequency of LOVE!
