You guys don't need to threaten me after all

🍊every time i see the mizuki/saki rarepair it's always just cute fashion girlies doing cute fashion stuff. and yeah i like the pretty pink lemonade lesbians aesthetic but like. there's so much loneliness at the core of who they are and the potential to tap into that is tempting (i swear i am coming up with something but it is cooking pretty slowly)

social isolation vs physical isolation. fashion opening doors in their lives, for mizuki through self-exploration and having people look at her as the person she wants to be; for saki as another thing in life to experience for the first time and connect with the ever-changing times that passed her by. Important people in their lives slipping away only to find their way back in. y'all KNOW saki would find comfort in the power fantasy of a magical girl anime that tells her she can be strong enough to fight through anything life throws at her so imagine them binge watching that shit together and crying

anyway if i haven't released a single chapter of a mizuki/saki internet friends au by the end of march please come to my house and threaten me with physical violence Ɛ>

saw a post on bluesky that boiled down to saying the trans flag was ugly and some reply was like “it’s not even nice colors it’s fluorescent teal and hot pink” and like. i���m sorry but neither of those colors are present in the trans flag. are we looking at the same flag

chat. we finally fucking finished the last chapter. linking to the start so people can read it fresh

This is a Leo/need fic that's part of a greater Urban Fantasy AU! Shiho's a vampire here, and she gets herself into a bit of a sticky situation because of some negligent blood drinking habits. Set within relatively early canon.

⛔️✅🎶

For the fic writing ask game

🍊Mod Orange speaking

⛔️: Something I try to avoid in my writing - Content-wise, anything sexually explicit. Even if I wasn't writing mostly about teenage characters (and I do have plans to extend my writing beyond the projects just on this blog), I have a bit of a bad history with stumbling my way down those rabbit holes when I was younger. I let myself make hints and jokes, though.

Regarding my writing technique, I get a little too hyper-vigilant about making sure my sentences don't have similar structure. I see myself write a whole paragraph that's just entirely "sentence part 1 - comma - part 2" and i agonize over how to make it feel more interesting to physically read, even if the flow of each individual sentence is perfectly fine and messing with one of them makes it a little bit individually worse.

✅️: Favorite line(s) and explanation - fuck, this is a hard one. Most of my favorite single dramatic lines have a paragraph of wind-up into a final moment of impact or call back to something anywhere from a few paragraphs to a chapter or two before, and I don't know if that counts. I suppose I'll pick out one of those as well as a quick, punchy one-liner from a more comedic moment.

But her cry for help comes out as an animalistic howl, something too easily confused with a battle cry. Her father starts flailing his arms wildly, letting out a battle cry of his own; scattered screams pound her ears, and the same gentle man who told her that she was strong enough to do anything she wanted in life is trying to make himself seem like the most threatening thing in the world.

Minori staggers back, looking at her mother’s face instead. It’s filled with terror as her eyes dart between Minori and something behind her. She turns to follow her mother’s gaze, and realises she’s put herself between the two of them and her brother.

They don’t recognize her. They don’t trust her. 

They don’t want her here.

This is one of the lines I really like from my werewolf fic, Adoption // Infection. It’s the final moment of high-emotion impact after Minori's first transformation as a werewolf in chapter 3. before this, she goes through the physical horror of transforming from human to wolf and the self-reflective horror of realizing she can't recognize herself and she feels less than human as a result. This little bit at the end where she experiences the social horror of being shunned once she's perceived as a threat. It's like a combo meal at a burger joint, but every part of the meal is a gut punch. I love the hurt half of hurt/comfort, and this sets the tone leading into the next part of the chapter where she finds a little bit of community for herself.

“Woah, I’m more lightheaded than I thought. Can we stop by the vending machines so I can re-up my blood sugar?”

“I don’t think any amount of sugar could help with the way it tastes, but sure.”

"Hey!"

This little blip is the button at the end of a chapter where a vampire drinks blood from someone, and it tastes like hot garbage instead of normal blood. In that fic, Your Love is a Drug, I've really enjoyed setting up little expectations with the urban fantasy stuff, or even just normal writing beats, and turning them upside down.

🎶: Do you write with music, and does that influence your writing - Sometimes I put on music when I'm writing, just to keep my brain stimulated and pushing to do something, but I try not to let the music influence my writing all that much. If my shuffle rolls up with a song where I have thoughts about unrelated characters, it gets a little distracted, so I guess that counts? I haven't written much that really fits with the particular songs I have character thoughts about, and my disdain for putting a single song on loop overpowers my brainrot, so I probably won't do it even when I get around to those story beats.

billions must yuri

[assorted-sekai-projects]

esoteric form of roleplay where instead of actually roleplaying you just make up characters together and discuss in abstract how they'd interact and how their story would go

About your Mystic Daze AU, how did Shizuku know Saki wasn't human when no one else did? And when she didn't think she'd be the one to tell Saki, did she assume Saki's parents weren't human either?

🍊 In this universe, Fae blood is alcoholic to vampires, to the point of being dangerously toxic if a dangerous amount of blood to lose is drunk. Vampires evolved to smell differences in various species' blood, and Shizuku initially smelled Saki's fae blood on Shiho's breath, and confirmed it after when she bit Saki's finger. Shiho didn't know any better because this is the first time she's had blood from a person, human or otherwise. None of Leo/need (or anyone that knew Saki) had any reason to suspect her of being non-human, least of all Saki herself.

Since she didn't know what type of fae creature Saki was, and a lot of secrecy regarding this stuff is kept within families or small communities, Shizuku assumed that Saki had someone (likely family) to tell her all about her non-human quirks and abilities, including how they interact with other non-human species. The later conclusion of Saki being a changeling came in part from the understanding that her family didn't know about her magic nature.

(sorry for the late response! got too caught up in schoolwork and writing to check the blog)
