it's not queer subtext at this point, the queer is clawing its way out of the text by force

If you’re writing college age Fiddauthor and you get secondhand embarrassment, you’re doing it right

Faith, Belief, Devotion, Love

Naofumi was everything L'Arc had imagined a God would be like. He was cruel, and mean, and he took no one's shit. He was a warrior, bringing forth the fires of an endless inferno and the tools of the underworld itself, and he's always ready to pick up the fight for those he deems his. He'd burn himself on his own fire if it meant he could take down his enemies with him.

But he's also kind, caring, and stands for what he believes in, and all of that softness is hidden behind dark armor and cursed shields. He's a healer and a craftsman, making viable potions and magical artifacts to gift to his people and fairly distribute to those in need. He'd burn himself on his own fire if it meant his people would stay warm.

L'Arc has seen the man fight for the lives of his people and his own like a wild beast. Like a creature cornered and defensive, ready to lash out and bite at anything it could until it had either won or died. He'd seen Naofumi fight not unlike the very monster falling from the sky, snarling and shouting wordlessly as he changed shields faster than should be useful.

But he'd also seen the man refuse to move when the children fell asleep against him, instead asking to be brought a book or checking through his unlocked shields, and staying there for hours until he too, fell asleep. He'd seen Naofumi stay up late at night brewing a surplus of potions, crafting new jewelry for Therese, or doing research on the Demi-humans under his lead, in case they had any needs neither he nor they knew about, orphaned as they were.

So, to L'Arc, Naofumi was everything he'd imagined a God to be like; cruel yet kind, caring yet thorned like a berry bush. So, L'Arc considered Naofumi the height of everything one could be, both good and bad, but quite often, most of the time honestly, the man was more in the large area in-between, gray and green and red altogether.

L'Arc won't diminish Naofumi's return of his feelings to something as variable as luck. No, Naofumi felt with all his heart, the organ now covered in open wounds that'd never close scars that'd never face, and yet a few places remained soft and untouched by the cruelties of existence. L'Arc was proud to consider himself worthy of Naofumi's trust, love, and affection. They'd spoken extensively about their feelings, neither wanting to ruin those one good thing they'd found between the chaos and death their worlds were stuck in, and yet Naofumi had never dismissed or turned down L'Arc's thoughts or feelings, even if they'd been overwhelming and endless.

Instead, the man had held L'Arc close, cradling his face in calloused hands, and told him "I love you.". He'd looked deep into L'Arc's heart through his eyes, expressive and vulnerable, and told him "I don't know how to react to this, honestly, but your feelings are your own, and I can only be happy that you feel so much for me." He'd hugged L'Arc and wiped his tears and said, "We're both just humans, L'Arc, but whatever we have between us, I believe it's so much more.".

Your fave character in the second to last outfit you wore?

I had the artistic liberty of making sena suffer the lows of public transport

[presiding]

you'll never guess which level we're up to in this dishonored 2 rewrite

[shigussy]

i keep getting tiktoks of these younger gen z kids referencing a time they did something relating to fandom in public and now they're embarrassed by it and everytime i see one i sit there thinking over all of middle and high school and having genuinely 0 moments that i feel embarrassed by, like i definitely did a lot of shit these kids would be embarrassed by but i think these are all just really fucking funny

also photographic evidence of the kinda kid i was. these are from 2014/15 when i was in 8th grade

-desolation row one shot(still on wattpad gerard way/reader smut)

-twerk it on (mcr crack fanfic no longer on wattpad but i have another fic in my library called twerking in taco bell which definitely ALSO used for my reading log)

-frank iero must die(a serial killer/assassin frerard fic, still on wattpad)

-hair (really vague maybe a phanfic? nowhere in my wattpad library rip)

my binder i used in 7th grade i had a blue one that looked pretty similar to this for 8th grade but idk where it went, also the parts i scribbled out are my full legal name i had written on it. i wrote it normally and then the big spot is where i wrote my name REALLY BIG in elysian code from the vladimir tod books. also the lines are from when i used an exacto knife to cut up some papers and forgot that my binder was underneath

in conclusion yall can now see why im so shameless about talking about shigaraki the way i do

I’m the anon that sent in all the Ruby stuff! It makes me so happy that you love her so much. I didn’t expect her to be such a beloved character to you and I was kind of nervous that you would have hated her tbh. ^^;

Something Ruby related — I had a fic about Twig and co. confronting the siblings before I ultimately scrapped it because I could not write villainous characters without making them feel cliché. I do remember this one line said by Ruby’s sister when she lashes out towards Twig:

“You wouldn’t get it. You have a cushy life style and you baby your daughter instead of actually raising her. We’re doing that ungrateful, spoiled brat a favor — we’re teaching her how to survive. You wouldn’t know the meaning of that with that silver spoon in your mouth.”

I don’t blame you for struggling with not making the siblings feel cliché— writing villainous characters gets 900x more difficult the second you don’t want to make them sympathetic. Ark was fairly simple for me to write, even in scrapped scenes where he was all-in with his villainous role during the events of the post-game. Twig’s aunt, meanwhile, gave me a heck of a hard time while I was developing her backstory.

Had a mock debate yesterday for uni and afterwards the guy I was up against said “every argument I thought I had was met by one equally as strong or stronger by him, so it was really hard to argue my side” which is very funny cause I was fidgeting, fumbling my words and near tears the entire time just trying to get through the 20 minutes. No one‘a got shit on the socially anxious idiot with a fear of conflicts apparently. Try me bitch.

Im in this class where the professor is like the biggest dick rider ever and on the syllabus is a book that istg doesn't exist because I looked it up and other people looked it up and nobody can find it and I'm wondering. Did. Did he AI generate the list of books.

[surreal-duck]

sucks so bad how adrenaline and endless motivation comes during the times when i genuinely should not at all do anything other than what should be my priorities. let me draw until i pass out man

[orcelito]

Oh yeah yesterday I went to my C programming professor's office hours to ask about what's being covered in class tomorrow. Since I can't go bc of my PT appointment overlapping with it & I'm apparently the kind of student that cares about attending every single class now.

While I was there, I ended up chatting with him about a few things, including my current standing in the class. He asked what I got on the midterm exam, & I answered it was an 87, and he told me I was one of the top 5 or 6 scores in the Whole Class (this being a like. Maybe 70 or so person class). Top score was a 92 or 93 (idr lol) & the class average was a 72. Apparently there were a few of us in the upper 80s/lower 90s, but most people got 70s or lower. And once he does the curve on the exam, he said I'd probably end up with a 97 or so on the exam. So yay!!!

And then he told me how he's noticed how I come to class every day and am really active with taking notes and answering questions. Bc I also sit up front all the time lmao. Hadn't even realized how much of a damned teacher's pet I've been being, but I've been Trying to be a good student this year. But he said I was the type of student that if I got an 88% or smth in the class, he'd likely bump me up to a 90% so I'd get an A lol. But he also said so long as I keep up with how I have been, I could possibly get a 100% in the class by the end (bc I've been there for all the extra credit questions in class and whatever).

And just. I went there bc I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything important in class on Wednesday, and I ended up having my ego stroked for Real. Felt good to have my efforts be recognized.

I found an old contact sheet for a roll of film I took in 2010, this day was fun, out in a small town where you could still smoke in the bar

[gumy-shark]

just realized my situation in college is so funny rn. heres why in a greentext format

>be gumy's parents >you are Good Christian Parents who want your daughter to Walk In The Ways Of The Lord >when she wanted to go to a secular college you were Very Worried that your Impressionable Daughter would get Radicalized By The Godless Atheist College People (this one is actually somewhat justified- i AM very impressionable and got radicalized in junior high in a way that was very very hard on my mental health and my relationships with my family) > be relieved when she chooses to go to a Good Christian College instead (it was my own free choice and i had my reasons). > surely, with her environmental science classes being taught from a God-Fearing Perspective, and with no Godless Atheist College People there, she won't get radicalized! > she gets radicalized anyways

[decidentia]

Just a note to say thanks for bearing with me. ♡

Suffering greatly (<- just had to sit through a presentation about whales from a guy who clearly didn’t know as much about whales as he thought he did)

[dideki]

also today me and an exchange student i became tentative but earnest friends with over the semester realised we're probably never going to see each other again it's all so strange how quickly you can start missing people
