Hey, this is just a friendly PSA.

If there's a fanfiction that you really like that hasn't updated in a little bit, don't go on there and comment how you don't think it will ever update again and it makes you sad to assume so...

Because life shit happens and sometimes there are things more important than updating a free-to-read story that is entirely composed on MY OWN TIME.

And now I don't want to update it. Just because you said that.

[fauxpaux]

Good news!

I am working again.

Goose.exe works incredibly well under pressure and the school semester is fucking my ass so hard I am writing again.

Cigarettes fans rejoice!

CHAPTER 4 OUT!!!

STORY IS COMPLETED NOW!!!

⚠️16+ Do NOT read if you are underage

This is SMUT I am SERIOUS. ⚠️

With that out of the way... Third chapter of my bodyswap fic, Mondo's POV, one more chapter to go!

[fauxpaux]

A thing I drabbled while trying to finish this dang final chapter of the Bodyswap au. It went nowhere and solely exists to braindump words. enjoy? i guess?

What does Mondo think of him? What does he think of himself? In this theoretical universe in which nothing is wrong. In this universe in which high school is normal. One is the enforcer and the other the antagonist and yet they mesh together. Mondo sees an innocence within Kiyotaka that mirrors an inane discomfort within himself. A strength he was forced to take on like a burden, yet does not project an infantilization onto Kiyotaka, but rather a wish of a simpler life than his own he received. From Mondo’s own perspective, Kiyotaka is the normality. The representation of a perfect classmate and a perfect, moral high ground. His execution is flawless and his attitude, while poignant and sharp, is well-meaning with good intent. Aside, there is indeed a kinship within the two specific opposites. The desire to hold those close within a safety. To take the metaphorical bullet. And like two folding upon each other to receive the pain in another's stead, it comes with a herding of a flock. Harsh hand when it necessitates, but a general understanding and love for those close enough to receive it. But then, what does Kiyotaka think of himself? No doubt there is a high standard to reach. A peak, of sorts, that is desired out of himself. Drawn from within his understanding of the world, forced, of course, by a familial history he is well aware of. In such, there is not just a desire for perfection but the need for it. A specificity that could drag him deep into a despair if he dared let himself go so far as to crumble underneath the pressure he puts on himself, one that is also, in some cases forced upon him. One he accepts with grace and a wobbly smile. Because it is all he knows how to do. Here, however, there are buffers. Exceptions to these laws of Ishimaru’s nature that refuse the perfection. Friends, such as Mondo, whom while motivate him to reach that peak, force his hand in understanding that he is only a person and nothing more. He may see himself as said enforcer, an embodiment of the laws in which he upholds, the rules, if you will. Yet with his connection to others, his friends, there comes a messier understanding of himself that does not have the chance to show elsewhere. Without negative influence, there is room to harbor emotion. Allowing a flourishing of oneself that may only appear in the right conditions. Unisolated, comforted, happy.

i don’t understand why some fanfiction writers will put all of their work in one giant paragraph. i am constantly abusing a paragraph break. i use it every five seconds. new subject? new paragraph. slightly different angle? new paragraph. any sentence that holds any amount of weight? boom new paragraph. i will use one word then do another paragraph break. you can’t stop me.

update

Right. So. Apologies (not really) for the impromptu, long-ass hiatus yet again from writing, but as it turns out I've been extremely busy.

A lot of shit has happened, irl and the like, and aside from being busy remaking a costume, classes have also been a huge bitch.

Not to come on here and cry and whine about how hard it all is but really just to give a time estimate of when I'm assuming I'll be back to writing in my free time.

October is always an extremely busy month for me because Halloween is my favorite time of year and I will literally go to as many events as I physically can. So most of the month will be booked. I assume I'll be back in a writey mood after Halloween weekend passes, but whos really to say?

November and December aren't necessarily event-heavy, but I WILL be attending Midwest Furfest as The Oposstag and hopefully joining the dance competition too! (So a lot of practice, a lot of wear time and a lot less FREE TIME) (MWFF is at the end of November beginning of December so really until December starts will I be busy as hell.)

I'll probably post some stuff about the finished Oposstag costume on Glareandgrowl if you care to view him (I don't think ppl over there do much either), but as for writing timelines I THINK I'll be working on finishing the short/one-shot stuff first (ive got 2 I think?) and then getting on with Assassins. (Or Cigarettes tbh I really want to write more for both so we'll see which one yanks my interest the quickest)

This break has been really good for me if I'm honest, since I've been writing Assassins for like a year straight and haven't really given myself time to focus on other creative things like hands-on projects. I was worried when I stopped to focus on The Oposstag that I had lost interest in Dangan as a series, as well as its characters and my stories. But nope! Turns out I was just a lil burnt out and hated myself!

PSA over. Sorry its so long (not really), but just a quick update on stuff since every time I post a new cigarettes chapter I get at least one comment worried the story will be discontinued.

Not a lot of people follow this account, since its not glareandgrowl, but if you did, for some reason, read this whole thing, thanks. I appreciate YOU specifically.

Hey, here's a fun new game. Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.

Cigarettes Are Love Letters in the Eyes of Addicts- Chapter 6: Sauna Scene Remix! (But Make it My Way!)

Hey look! I haven't forgotten about our good ole boys here in the non-despair universe! I'll probably be finishing up the other two short stories before I get on to the next Assassins! Chapter. So also be on the lookout for those! When...ever I have time...

I'm also doing artfight over on

https://www.artfight.com/~glareandgrowl

If you wanna see what drawing stuff I've been doing! I'm hoping to get one a day finished to flex some muscles and develop some new skills!

Cheers!

"My efforts were naught in vain"

I say over a drink I made with whipped cream and orange juice, like some kind of mad scientist.

[fauxpaux]

oh I wasn’t aware it was feeding the ai. I’ve inserted hundreds of fics into chatgpt for their continuation or for a different plot within the same context just for fun and out of curiosity… but I’ve never posted any of them…

Indeed, anything that is given to AI it can use later to draw from. That's why it doesn't matter if you post them or not as it has now access to those writers' texts without their permission.

[fauxpaux]

Just so all are aware, I finally put my Ao3 fanfics on member only, due to the recent information of unauthorized uses of AI training from fanfics on the site. If you do not already have an Ao3 account and wish to continue being able to read and find my fanfics, (since a goood bit of my comments and kudos come from guests) just let me know. I have one invite currently available.

We live in a dystopian novel and I will continue writing soon.

Goose's Fic Log (Aka: Glareandgrowl)

Howdy to ya all!

Here’s a comprehensive list of all the fanfiction series and oneshots I’ve written and published on my Ao3 acct: Glareandgrowl

All of the things I write are PG-13 at best, and R and worst, so be conscious of that when perusing any of these stories—

Assassins! AU series

My magnum opus. A three part series (one and a half parts are done atm) mainly from the perspective of Kiyotaka Ishimaru as his story unfolds to a terrifying degree of torture, heartbreak and misery all highlighted by the job he has unwittingly devoted the remainder of his failed life to.

-YouTube Playlist-

Part 1: One Mistake- (Chapters 6/6)

Ship Tag: (Slight Chihiro/Kiyotaka, it comes back in part 3)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru; level-headed, strong, quick-witted, morally balanced, independent, trustworthy. All of these things could be used in any context to describe him. But romantic was not one of them. Yet somehow, he had found himself in a deadly love triangle between a hot headed prick and the soft eyed, soft spoken Chihiro. Both of them dragging him down a path of distraction from his desire of becoming the worlds greatest prime minister. Hijinks and heartbreak ensues… and everything goes horribly wrong.

Part 2: A Path Split in Two- (Chapters 8/?)

-YouTube Playlist-

Ship Tag: None

He stared at the tv screen, his mouth hung open in a display of the absolute mind-numbing shock that clouded over his wide eyes. His face was inches away from the screen, feeling the buzz of electricity. Unseeing.

He couldn’t believe it.

His mind would simply not let him comprehend the facts presented in front of him. He had lost. Kiyotaka Ishimaru, the boy who had claimed since he could speak, from early childhood to not even three minutes ago, that he would become Japan’s, if not the world’s, greatest prime minister. A leader fit for the history books, one to be sung praises for years to come. Had failed.

He had lost, and he wasn’t prime minister.

Part 3: Thrice Since the Death of Oneself: (currently unpublished)

Ship Tag: (Kiyotaka/Mondo)

When life closes one door, it opens a horrible chasm beneath you instead.

Kiyotaka is tasked with his most difficult job yet. He has only one week to eliminate an enemy of the senate, feared gang leader, Mondo Owada. But what happens when Kiyotaka falls for the suave bad boy? Will he risk his whole life’s work for a delinquent who gives something nothing else can, Happiness?

Cigarettes are Love Letters in the Eyes of Addicts

-YouTube Playlist-

A slice-of-life esque story told mainly from Mondo’s perspective that is only one part. (Chapters 5/17)

Ship Tag: (Kiyotaka/Mondo)

Mondo Owada, brother to the leader of the Crazy Diamonds, and feared by most, has only one enemy. A pretentious Hall Monitor who won’t leave him alone. But when he is forced to work with the guy, he finds out that maybe he judged him a bit too harshly at first.

Dear Dictator

-Youtube Playlist-

(Chapter 1/?)

Junko Enoshima has finally been captured by the Future Foundation, and will be tried for her crimes against the world. The dead will play witness to her testimony, whether Kiyondo is willing to hear or not.

Managing to survive what would have been a fatal blow to the head, Kiyondo Ishida, formerly known as Kiyotaka Ishimaru, must now traverse this strange and new world with only the memento of his Kyodai's jacket on his back, and an unquenchable rage in his soul.

(A solo chapter character study on if Kiyotaka had been one of the survivors, based off the song Dear Dictator by Saint Motel)

NSFW stories under the cut–

Goose’s Naughty Corner (Tread with Caution!!)–

A couple of short form smutty writings that have no ties into each other-

Follow The Rules or Get The Boot- (Chapters 2/3)

Two (about to be three) short form smut fanfics featuring Dom! Kiyotaka and Sub! Mondo. A rare idea, I know!

Ship Tag: (Kiyotaka/Mondo)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru has had just about enough of Mondo Owada’s undisciplined lifestyle, but his tipping point is reached when his uniform and shoes get completely ruined by Mondo’s recklessness! Mondo must be punished for this! >:(

A Finger Prick is All it Takes- (Chapters 2/2)

A long short story featuring Vampire! Kiyotaka and Werewolf! Mondo. Was originally going to be a fully fledged story, but I decided against it and now you get two very long chapters of bloody smut instead. Enjoy!

Ship Tag: (Kiyotaka/Mondo)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru is a vampire with needs, and Mondo is a werewolf who can provide them.

A Halloween prompt about consensual vampiristic blood drinking ;)

GlareandGrowl’s Bodyswap fic- (working title)(Chapters 3/4)

A pretty bog standard smutty body Swap AU. Hagakure does something weird and Mondo and Taka switch bodies. They go through the day trying to act the most like each other and not ruin each other’s reputation.

Ship Tag: (Kiyotaka/Mondo)

[fauxpaux]

(Danganronpa THH Spoilers!!!)

Summary: Junko Enoshima has finally been captured by the Future Foundation, and will be tried for her crimes against the world. The dead will play witness to her testimony, whether Kiyondo is willing to hear or not.

Managing to survive what would have been a fatal blow to the head, Kiyondo Ishida, formerly known as Kiyotaka Ishimaru, must now traverse this strange and new world with only the memento of his Kyodai's jacket on his back, and an unquenchable rage in his soul.

(A solo chapter character study on if Kiyotaka had been one of the survivors, based off the song Dear Dictator by Saint Motel)

(Ok be honest with me here. This started out as a simple idea based on the song Dear Dictator. Unfortunately, this 3k word chapter is all that encompasses what I imagine listening to Dear Dictator. But I do have at least 4k more words for the actual Class Trial. But that's only if any of you actually want to read it.

Because I've finished what I set out to do originally, and the rest is just be gerrymandering to an inconclusive ending, and since I have at least 5 other projects I could put my time and focus into, I need serious feedback about whether you all would genuinely want to see this 'story' "finished". Because, and I'm being honest myself here, I don't want to put my time and effort into something that no one would read, or want to read.

Just being real.

Please comment on here or on my ao3 (@/glareandgrowl) and shout at me whether or not you want to see a [Class Trial: Start!] chapter.)
