Soooo mannnny notes!
Okay. So wow. Gross.. also wow.. that was so entertaining and enjoyable and honestly I had my feet kicking up behind me while I was reading.
Also.. Gross..
I had a whole grimace on my face reading that scene. Very descriptive.. very detailed.. did I say gross?
Notes!!
1. Aw I had the feels for MC shame omg. Poor thing. So many emotions. I felt the pain. Especially when explaining the hand scar. Sorry if I'm being spoilery I'm tryna be chill here.
2. I love that you can choose to just go with this is my nature so fuck u mentality or actually try to go against it.
3. Very detailed.. very gross scene. It was great. I don't generally read much horror IFs. I hate horror movies but I really enjoyed this. A testiment to how really good this was.
4. The beast scene was both kinda cute and bittersweet left me with some sadness once again.
Looking forward to getting to know Felix and Eden. Well all the ROs actually. Im very intrigued how the relationship dynamics will work with MCs lil issue.
This was very good. I feel like I'm finding so many gems lately. So thank you for being another writer to bless my eyes!
PS. I can't remember if I said it was gross. It was very subtle you knw..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ;__; it means a lot to me that you enjoyed it! i'm glad i got across the grossness of Consuming human flesh and organs in my writing !! that was definitely the intent :^)
gonna respond in order of your notes!! ty for taking the time to write something to me about it!!
MC's shame is going to be a common theme/occurrence throughout. I wanted to write a somewhat cathartic story about healing from trauma + how trauma can make you act in ways that aren't the best! MC is far from perfect, and I plan to delve into that more in future chapters.
YES!!! I love the trope of giving in to your nature no matter how grotesque it may be vs. fighting that and trying to become a different person....
I'm honored you checked Nemisi out! I love horror, but I haven't written much of it personally (especially not things I've shown anyone besides my best friend) so this IF is definitely going to be an exercise for my brain writing that genre.
The cat scene was one I wasn't expecting to have such an impact to be honest! But I needed to give the MC some more human aspects, since no matter what they think are now, they did start out in life as one and they still experience human emotions, like it or not.
Writing character interactions is one of my favorite things to do! So I'm excited to show off the dynamics. I also love writing romance so I cannot WAIT to get to that. I love characters who either help each other heal or make each other worse.
Once again, thanks for the kind words!!

“WHAT ARE YOU DOIN’ SNOOPIN’ AROUND THE UPPER STANDS, MISS PIPER?” Eden sits outside the Colonial Taphouse, her legs crossed. A smile rests upon her features as she leans back in her chair. “I hope no one up here has caused enough fuss to be part of your next story,” she adds. Most of the residents in the Upper Stands steer clear of trouble, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have their fair share of controversy. Wealth, from what Eden understands, draws a distinct line between humans; the rich and the poor seldom coexist. It’s a division that makes little sense to her, all things considered.
“Or have you just come to sit with me?” she jokes, giving the reporter a friendly blink. “You know I never mind a bit of company.”
@horrorempathy liked for a starter.

August 2018
Summary: My Senior Year. Man was I a mess. I was doing my stage management internship while writing my twenty four page research paper. Which, I had no plan for at all that year. So, I decided last minute to just do it on my favorite fairytale and just run with it. My professor had me rewrite the first half of my paper at least ten times that semester before I even got it right. And, by that point I was stressing on whether or not I was going to even be able to finish my paper.

SHIPPING     INFO     !!
ANSWER     THE     FOLLOWING     FOR     YOUR     MUSE     SO     PEOPLE     KNOW     HOW     SHIPPING     WORKS     ON     YOUR     BLOG.
Tumblr media
REPOST DO NOT REBLOG!!!
WHAT     IS     YOUR     OTP     FOR     YOUR     CHARACTER?: Canon OTP is the trio from Inside Eden’s Gate in a platonic way. Found family is my JAM and I’m convinced Hannah, Sara and Alex are the OT3 of platonic goodness. So that’s my favorite! For Alex non-canon I haven’t had an OTP with him necessarily. I think the only one was with @sanctemony​ and that is a lot of messed up but super fun to write and I love Fox with all my heart so there is that. Damn that OOC bias.
WHAT     ARE     YOU     WILLING     TO     WRITE     WHEN     IT     COMES     TO     SHIPPING?: I’m open to anything except for ships with underage muses/muns. This typically falls in the category of 21 and under for me, and Alex is 23. As a character Alex is more interested in people at his age or older rather than younger. With that said I really like ships with interesting dynamics to them that have underlying tension to explore. As of late I’d be very down for some wholesome content. Quarantine got me cravin’ the simple things. 
HOW     LARGE     DOES     THE     AGE     GAP     HAVE     TO     BE     TO     MAKE     IT     UNCOMFORTABLE?: Wellllllllll. I mean. stares at @walridiing​ . I think Miles and Alex are the biggest age gap relationship I have here. Which is ~10 years. The only reason is because of my writing chemistry with Moss and our history of knowing one another and the way the characters ended up working together, I think to both our surprise. I’m not extremely picky when there are consenting adults, the ship has been discussed and there is an understanding between writers. I’ll never write underage Alex with anyone, or him with anyone as a teenager/borderline teenager either, regardless of the other muse’s age. 1. It’s not in his history and 2. I just get uncomfortable with it.
ARE     YOU     SELECTIVE     WHEN     SHIPPING?: Not in the way this question is probably asking. I’m always down to ship. I just gravitate towards non-romantic ships with Alex. It feels like it fits him better as a character and I think that puts people off of shipping with him or discussing a ship. I’m EXTREMELY OPEN TO IT. Alex is just Like ThatTM with everyone. Being nice and easy to talk to and then there being a wall to get over as far as romance goes. TLDR; nope not selective, attack my inbox. 
HOW     FAR     DO     STEAMY     MOMENTS     HAVE     TO     GO     BEFORE     THEY     ARE     CONSIDERED     NS/FW?: Uh. I’d say the moment there’s sexual nudity involved it is probably NSFW for the dash. I personally prefer things to be tagged NSFW when there’s explicit language/imagery. I think something’s nsfw if someone is describing in detail what they’re going to do to someone even if it’s not being actively written about, y’kno? I don’t really do the nsfw thing so uh you won’t be seeing this from me. *finger guns*
WHO     ARE     THE     OTHER     CHARACTERS     YOU     SHIP     YOUR     CHARACTER     WITH?: Alex is protective of all the good beans he’s come across. He’s probably going to die for @pocketknlves in some way. He’s a huge fan of Miles Upshur’s, ( @walridiing ) work as a journalist and of him in general. He’s usually got a default hate-ship as far as enemies go with any John or Jacob Seed he comes across, but I love exploring the nuances of it with the writers. Which, at the moment I’m exploring by beating the crap out of @absolveres and being the unfortunate soulmate of @only-we​ . Mmmm soulmate threads sustain me. @hopesecures is trying to worm his way in with bad jokes but Alex is staying strong. Meanwhile, @lambbled​ is someone he thinks could use a friend so he’s actively trying to do what he can to help her out – and will probably inevitably end up dying for as well. Almost all of the ships that take place with Alex are friends or enemies at this point. People for some reason end up protective of him which is hilarious to me. I love it. Y’all have chosen a doomed character to try and save but seriously, I love all ships. Ships doesn’t just mean romance for me.
DOES     ONE     HAVE     TO     ASK     TO     SHIP     WITH     YOU?: Please! Plot with me I love it. I have a much easier time shipping if I talk to somebody OOC even just the occasional DM (which I’m horrible about atm due to school) helps. I’ll accept all memes from people, and if I reblog a ship or NSFW one feel free to send it. Worst case scenario I’ll dm you and talk about it if I’m struggling to find inspiration. 
ARE     YOU     SHIP     OBSESSED     OR     SHIP     MORE-OR-LESS?: Ship more-or-less. It’s never been a focus of this blog. Unless you consider character interactions to be ships then yes.
ARE     YOU     MULTISHIP?: Yep. All ships take place in their own universes. Character overlap only occurs at the agreement of all writers involved. 
WHAT     IS     YOUR     FAVOURITE     SHIP     IN     YOUR     CURRENT     FANDOM?: Points @walridiing​
FINALLY,     HOW     DOES     ONE     SHIP     WITH     YOU?: If you see a meme, send it! Or if you ever want to talk to me OOC about it/our muses, just DM me! My inbox and chat are always open. 
TAGGED     BY:     @lambbled bless u TAGGING:    if you haven’t done it do the thing so i know who i can ship with

Simplicity - Grizz x Sam - requested
Anonymous said: can u write grizzam saying ily for the first time PLEASE (btw ur blessing the whole fandom with ur ffs thank u????)
A/N: Look - I did something that ended happily - that never happens anymore. Thanks for the nice words anon!
Words: 1184 Warnings: None  
Masterlist
@idle-lanes  @sgarrett49 @moonlight53 @redhairedoddity @the-achievementhunter@superoptimist1997 @gswritings @misskarynie @pancakefancake @alwaysthefangirl @theserpentsqueen
                                                            ——-
“It isn’t simple”.
“None of this is Sam”. Grizz sat in the wheelie chair near his desk. Sam leaned against the entrance of the doorway to try and respect Grizz’s space.
“She’s all I’ve had. I’ve always needed her, this time she needed me”.
Grizz gave a nod but was barely giving Sam eye contact, knowing that his anger would dissipate the second he looked at the ginger-haired boy in front of him.
Sam walked to the bed to sit, as Grizz’s feet wrestled with each other, a nervous tick he had. His lips pursed as he tried to keep composure, watching Sam set his brown jacket down on a table, “I know she needs you”.
Silence lingered between the both of them as guilt-racked Sam even more, as he gave more thought to what he wanted to say. “Growing up, my parents only learned to sign a little. Not enough…not much to know me. Becca, she’s always been there for me”.
“At least you had someone, someone to be you with”, Grizz gave reflection to his own relationship with his parents.
Sam nodded, “She’s the person who knows everything about me. I wanted to tell her about you…”.
“Were you going to…before I found out?”.
Sam nodded, “I wasn’t sure if that was what you wanted…you aren’t…”.
“I’m not out, no. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t if it meant…”. While they were only a few feet apart, their words made them feel like they had too much space between one another.
“She needed to relax, to focus on the baby…on Eden”.
“This place isn’t exactly stress-free”. Sam laughed at Grizz’s words.
“I just…I promised her. That I would be there for this baby”. Sam resisted letting a tear fall.
“Well, of course, you would be…”, Grizz looked at Sam’s state, as he seemed defeated. “Sam…”, Grizz noticed how Sam was trying to resist making eye contact.
Sam looked up, knowing that his eyes were telling more than he wanted.
“Are you…the baby’s father?”.
Sam gave a breath, finding courage in his words. “The second Eden was born, I was her father. And that isn’t changing”.
“That’s not what I asked”.
“I promised her. She needed someone and I didn’t think that I….that someone like you…”.
“Sam”, Grizz gave a touch to Sam’s knee out of reassurance. “Are you the father?”.
“You were the first person I was ever…with…”, Sam’s hands made a motion of two fists with his thumbs pointing upwards - knowing that Grizz understood him.
“Why would you…”, the space between them felt bigger again, “you lied to me”.
“I promised her okay?”, Sam’s voice got a little louder. “A promise means everything to me, especially in a place like this. We don’t have much else”. He became defensive in his words.
“Do you know who Eden’s…do you know who Becca…”, Grizz pushed the right side of his dark locks behind his ear. His arms now on his legs, facing towards Sam.
Sam shook his head, “She won’t tell me”. Sam gave thought to the last 7 months in New Ham - recalling any moment where the topic came up. “I think, something happened to her. She’s worrying me…that someone….”, Sam’s words lingered as he didn’t want to finish his thought out loud.
A long pause interjected them as Sam tried to get the worse thoughts out of his mind. Grizz reflected, trying to figure out if he would have done anything different in Sam’s shoes.
Grizz gave a nod, “okay”.
“Okay, what?”. Sam eye’s locked with Grizz’s now.
“She is the only person you could trust here, and the same went for her”.
Sam nodded.
“But what do you want now?”, Grizz swallowed his pride as he neglected to even blink with Sam’s face closer to his.
“I’m Eden’s father, nothing will change that”, Sam made sure his words were concrete.
“I understand that. But, what do you want?”, Grizz bit his lip out of nervousness.
“Before you - I didn’t think anyone would be possible for someone like me…”. Sam’s face became sullen again. “I’ve grown up here my entire life, and no one saw me like that. I didn’t think that would change here… it’s why I said yes to her”.
“And now?”, Grizz swallowed a large breath.
“I want you, but I don’t want you to feel obligated or pressured to be a part of something that I signed up for”. Sam’s hands clenched one another, anticipating a response from Grizz.
Grizz looked up and met Sam’s eyes, thinking over and over again of the last few weeks.
Sam saw the nervousness, recalling when he saw it the last time, “I want to be me, but with you…”.
Sam had hope in his eyes but didn’t smile until Grizz’s cheeks finally went up. A sniffle was released from Grizz as the last thing he wanted was to shed a tear.
His large hands reached over to the freckled ones before him. “I want you too…”.
Sam nodded but gave another pause, “I understand if you can’t because of everything. It’s too much to ask someone”.
Grizz shook his head. “She asked it of you because you care for her, you’re asking it of me now”.
Sam dawned on the words, worried that he was losing him, again. He let his hands go from Grizz’s.
Grizz quickly grabbed Sam’s right hand again. “I care about you to”. Grizz gave a small chuckle to his easy smile.
“I’m asking this”, Sam motioned with his left hand as his right was occupied, “because I love you”.
Grizz sat there a little stunned. His hands felt clammy all of a sudden, the moment between them feeling like it could last forever. His dimples went up to the right side of his mouth, all the while bringing Sam to him closer, his hand going to his cheek to bring him in. Lips interlocked as Grizz could feel a tear coming down Sam’s face, he didn’t care as their lips were becoming intertwined again.
The movement between them felt natural, Grizz letting his tongue into a gasped breath of Sam’s - his hand going to the freckled neck of Sam. Grizz got up from his seat slowly, moving Sam with him to be more on the bed. A pang of hunger began to rise in Sam, his feelings of guilt being let go in the moment. His hands moved to Grizz’s cheeks after Grizz broke too quickly to take off his hoodie, letting it land wherever it wanted. Sam moved his head up towards the headboard, Grizz pulling at Sam’s shirt to take the layer off.
Grizz’s hair went into his face, but he didn’t care as his eyes kept shut as his lips went to Sam’s neck - all the while words going through his mind like a record. He stopped in his movements, even though something in him ached.
Sam gave a confused look to Grizz as he caught his breath.
Grizz moved back a little, making sure Sam could see his hand movements. “I love you too”.
Sam’s face brightened with a smile, lips becoming intertwined again.

From your answers can i presume that youdidn't enjoy t100 s5? Also will u be watching s6?
Hi love! Short answer: I enjoyed the first few episodes, but grew gradually frustrated the more the season continued. I don’t think certain themes they were going for translated as well as they had hoped. That said, there were things I really enjoyed! I definitely will be watching S6, I always have to know how things end - I can’t help it!
As for the Long Answer of where my frustrations were, they are under the cut:
Firstly, I think the switching of the ‘head and the heart’ was an interesting idea, but poorly done in execution. Instead of taking pieces of each other - which I think should’ve been the route - they all but switched their personalities from S1. I think it could’ve been done better to make the difference less jarring, as if they learned from each other instead of entirely switching places.
Speaking of mother, the Flame is one of my least favorite plot devices ever. It made sense maybe in S3 and maybe a case for S4, but in my mind, it’s absurd. And giving it to a 12-year-old? I was so angry. To me, they used it as an ultimate deus ex machina - no solution? Flame. And they made a point to say everyone was at a different place, and then put them right back to where they started. S4 literally ended with Indra saying ‘the time of the Commanders is over,’ yet...? I will never be okay with using children as soldiers and using the Flame as a generic ‘get out of jail free’ card is so frustrating to me.
Another just writing-wise aggravation: the worms. I kept thinking they’d come back in the valley, but they literally were just... thrown away? After all that set up? Clarke yeet-ed them into the desert and that was the conclusion. I know it’s small and petty, but it boggled my mind.
Spacekru: it was interesting how there was a group of people I love individually, but did not get the chemistry of their dynamic. And unfortunately, there was so much going on and so many new characters, they had no time to show us their bond at all. We got a few scenes, but no flashbacks of them bonding, no connections, really. The only reason we know they were a ‘family’ is because they kept saying it and we can assume 6 years makes people close. But we got a quintessential tell - not show. Honestly, Clarke is a good self-insert for the audience because we knew just as much as she did. I think they could’ve handled that dynamic a little better, only because telling us how we are supposed to feel isn’t the same as letting us discover it ourselves.
There are so many other things, but I won’t bore you with. However, I hate being negative, so let’s go out on a positive note!
Amazing new characters! I cannot believe I was given Diyoza AND Shaw. Boy, I am blessed. I got two new characters who I genuinely like and am fascinated by their back story. And Jordan?? I barely know him and I want to protect him at all costs.
Monty and Harper’s Arc: I love that Monty and Harper put their feet down and went ‘no, we will not be a part of this.’ And as much as I hate the fact that they won’t be in the next season, I love the fact that they made their own decisions of how they would live - and die. Monty stopping war and death pits with plants was poetic cinema.
Eden: That whole episode was amazing to me. Highlighting Eliza’s incredible talent, it was really beautifully shot - some of the cinematic layouts were stunning. I’m a slut for a good camera angle and that was full of them. 
Hopeful ending? I’m trying to think about it, and we’ve never had a hopeful ending. S1: The 100 kidnapped, thinking Bellamy and Finn were dead. S2: Clarke leaves after being overcome with guilt. S3: “Why don’t you look like someone who just saved the world?” “Because we didn’t.” S4: Separation AGAIN. This is the first time when it was really beautifully ended with hope. That’s what keeps people alive: hope.
Sorry, that was really long. Honestly, I have endless thoughts, but this would go on for ages if I wrote them all. Thanks love!

i just,,,,,, i know I'm late to the party but i just need to tell you that the unique style of Illuminate Me completely floored me and i cant believe im actually considering to buy myself a copy of Paradise Lost,,,,, despite not being a huge fan of,, classic? literature???? i absolutely adored all those quotes and thinking processes. and i was and still am completely blown away by how well do u know literature, its so amazing! so thank you for blessing the world with such masterpiece. 💙💯
You are not at all late to the party and you are very very welcome in it! I’m so glad that so many people gained some interest in classic lit and interpreting it in their own ways (outside of an english class) because of this fic!! Repeatedly I’d put in quotes and be like “this is so heavy-handed of me” or “this is totally too much” ahaha. Paradise Lost is MASSIVE, but it’s also the kind of poetic epic where you can crack it open to any random page and find something that speaks to you, religious context or no (because it contains a lot of thought about the human condition if you look for it…also Milton wanted to justify God’s actions, but IMO it is REALLY INTERESTING to acknowledge the fact that God is presented as somewhat wicked and Satan gets some really complex characterization - apply those character’s dynamics to say…characters in the Marvel universe and you can see them in a whole new light). Getting through the whole thing at once is a struggle, but reading passages? I could do that forever (especially with different modernizations of quotes I really like - “What is dark in me, illumine” is the most annoying phrasing lmao).In that vein, here are some other really good Tony quotes from Paradise Lost:“This horror will grow mild, this darkness light.” Is such a good line to keep in mind when it comes to the passage of time. I like to imagine Tony at the end of IM having a sneaky BARF session where he relives Siberia and just…takes a knee next to himself when he’s all alone in that bunker. Places the shield over that version of himself’s heart to protect it and tells him that line. Hnngh. “Awake, arise, or be forever fallen.” Honestly feels like Tony’s personal mantra when he can’t see the light just yet. He can’t take laying down. He can’t take losing faith in people or the world - he needs to keep his eyes and his heart open despite falling down. My phoenix son “Ah, why should all mankind, for one man’s fault thus guiltless be condemned.“ Is part of a bigger piece about God punishing the act of gaining knowledge with a creeping kind of death - not an intentional one, but one that will result nonetheless from humanity leaving the garden of eden. This whole bit is Tony’s approach to heroism and why he supports the Accords so hardcore. People nearby a villain shouldn’t be collateral damage when stopping that villain. The innocent should be untouched, even if fate or some other force bring them into harm’s way. Tony wants to deny that fate.And a proper modern translation bc old english bothers me unless it is spoken: “Go, for if you stay against your will, you are more absent.” Is the biggest lesson Bucky has to learn about Tony. Forcing Tony to be around him may make him physically present, but emotionally it’s causing him to drift away. PS. As much as I whine about Old English and genuinely think it keeps a lot of people from classical lit, watching plays performed in the original script (or sections of poetic epics) with proper acting is S O L I D ! It keeps some of the most clever writing in tact without an awkward language barrier. I got to see Shakespeare By The Sea and it was A+++++ would recommend.

Can you do small introductions on each loona member? Or i mean not all of them if u dont want ik theres like 27 of them but just little descriptions of what u think of em would be cute
a chance? to talk abt the loves of my life? 
heejin: you knwo that friend who like if u fuck around during the school yr and need someone to help u out w notes and getting yourself together bc u know shes always on top of her game? thats heejin. girly is an all rounder tbh she can sing dance and as much as ppl like 2 clown her for her rapping shes really not all that bad. LIKE shes just so versatile. she showed that thru mixnine which lol i didnt watch besides cuts but if u watch her performing on there and then see her performing with loona 1/3 it’s like complete opposites but she manages to shine no matter what like it’s effortless for her. shes such a sweet girl too i really do feel like theres a reason she was picked to go first bc she has such a likeable personality. shes funny, hardworking, humble (but not to the point to where she downplays her worth), and just seems like a real ride or die type of friend
hyunjin: MY BABY i hav such a soft spot for hyunjin and it’s hard not to??? she comes across as a little quiet at first and she acts like she doesnt care but she does u know she does shes not fooling anyone idc how many times shes told yeojin 2 shut up on camera i know she’d be one of the first if not THE first girl 2 be by her side (and any members side) if some shit went down. shes such a determined little thing too and when she has her eyes on something she goes for it no thinking abt it no questions asked she just does what she wants and thats something so impressive for a girl her age to be able to do. i feel like shes the type of person to just sit in the back and watch more than participate bc she doesnt mind if the other girls take the spotlight like shes such a chill, laid-back soul. i aspire to be like her. and shes so fucking funny really it’s almost criminal how hard she makes me laugh. ALSO she has the best reactions it’s a disgrace more than anything that i dont hav a folder of just her making stupid faces
haseul: the absolute love of my life? THE jo haseul?? theres a reason shes the member i latched onto the most at the beginning and ultimately kinda the member that tied me down to loona for good. like i was onboard w them from the get but it’s her that sealed the deal. i dont joke when i say she really is their guardian angel and no matter what u think of her in the comparison to the other girls u cant deny the fact that shes born leader material. she makes the other girls feel good and at-ease yknow. like she was always around vivi in the 1/3 loona tvs and u could tell it was like 2nd nature to her being by her side as vivi navigated her way through a country and language she wasnt all too familiar with. and like w/ yves for another example like yves if all facts check out was only w/ bbc for a three week period before they debuted her so obviously she wasnt familiar with any of the girls which is why she was so awkward at first. but haseul? bless her soul she did all that she could to make her feel at home. and she has such a beautiful voice i feel like not enough ppl praise her for it. also fuck yg for making her feel bad during mixnine she deserves the world and he can suck my big toe
yeojin: miss thang miss thang. what 2 say what 2 say. first things first shes a trooper. shes a baby i mean a lot of them are babies but yeojin is an actual baby baby i almost fainted when i learned how old she is. but despite her age shes so firm yknow. when shes doing things she wants to do them right to the best of her abilities and shes always striving to be better which is so admirable bc for me personally at that age i was a goddamn mess i couldnt be doing and juggling even a third of the shit she does. and shes right next to hyunjin when it comes to making me laugh shes just so loud and full of energy even 2 the point where i get tired watching her and im loud and full of energy but her being loud and being full of energy kicks my being loud and being full of energy in the ass. if any of that made sense. but theres never a dry eye in sight when shes in the room and u can tell shes such a joy 2 be around as much shit as the other girls give her lol i just feel real protective of her bc shes just so full of life and laughter and i just want her to be out here living her best life
vivi: it needs 2 be said that i have such high respect for any kpop idol who’s from another country bc theres just so much thats going against them. miss vivi is away from home away from her comfort space away from her friends and family away from a place where she can speak proficiently and fluently bc shes struggling to learn a new language and?? on top of that shes doing all the other standard idol stuff. thats some tough shit thats some scary shit but she takes it all on with a brave face and an open mind. and being able to slowly watch her build up more confidence in the language and basically everything else has been such an honor. like when im out here on my weak shit feeling sorry for myself i gotta think 2 myself what would miss vivi do? how would miss vivi tackle this? i lov this girl honestly i would die for her she does so much and i feel like not all of it is fully appreciated but she’ll have her moment i know she will and it’ll only be a matter of time before ppl see how amazing she is 
kim lip: giiiiiiiiirl. lip is such a strong person. like in all aspects. shes crazy talented it’s a little scary to think abt how much she’ll grow once they properly debut as a group and she gets more experience bc?? she just has so much going for her. her charisma is off the charts she can easily pull a crowd if her solo being a real big jumping point in spreading the loona name says anything at all. and shes such a good pick for the oec leader she definitely has those vibes like u just cant help but listen to her regardless of whatever bullshit she says and she says a lot of bullshit but do i liv by that bullshit and eat it up like shes spouting out the new testament u can bet ur ass i do. lip is definitely one of those girls that u cant help but be drawn to like u just want 2 be her bff bc once u remove her from the stage she has such girl next door vibes i feel like she’d be the type of girl u see in the club and u make small talk by the bar bc u made eye contact by accident and all of the sudden before u know it youve spent ur whole night w her and u hav her phone number and plans to meet up next week bc shes so friendly 
jinsoul: i make fun of her a lot. but w good reason: shes easy 2 make fun of. shes so quirky but not in the ironic way like shes really quirky and a bit of a walking disaster but it’s charming and she makes it work. even if shes not ur fav? shes still? kinda ur fav? even if u dont know it? if i made a list of some of my fav loona moments i assure u she’d be included in about 80% of it like shes such a staple to the group i really cant imagine her not being w them i mean i cant imagine the group w/o any of them but jinsoul especially. sometimes i watch loona vids knowing good and damn well shes not gonna be in them but i still end up thinking where is jinsoul?? bc not 2 speak for everybody (i will tho) but no one can get enough jinsoul. also her voice? i love it it’s one of my favs in not only loona but kpop in general. both speaking-wise and singing-wise. it’s just so pretty i really did astral project the first time i heard sitr & love letter. true out of body experiences 10/10 would recommend the yelp reviews are in shes 100% worth It. what is the It shes worth? idk but whatever It is .. shes worth It.
choerry: i just want her 2 be my little sister wow. miss yerim really has my heart. truly the embodiment of :) . shes so smily and has such a strong energy u cant help but like her. in every loona tv shes in shes making someone laugh or smile and it’s no coinkidink it’s bc shes really just that much of a ray of sunshine and u cant help but fall for her. give her some time i pledge w my life that once they debut she is going 2 shine on variety shows theres no way she wont. she has such good sense and shes so flexible. and if lcm is anything 2 go by shes able to switch it up and kill different concepts and sounds at the drop of a hat. def one to keep ur eye on bc u just know shes gonna go far in the future theres no way she wont she has all the tools in her arsenal to make it big no problem. does she resemble the annoying orange? yes and i’ll hate kim lip forever for putting that image in my head but that wont stop her shes truly a force to be reckoned with.
yves: my baby! u didnt hear this from me but i lov her a lot. she was kinda just thrown 2 the wolves w/ her three weeks of training i can only imagine how nerve wracking it must’ve been for her. here is an army of girls bbc has as potential loona members whove been training for years/knew the other girls who were already chosen as loona members/have even gone along for the ride with the chosen loona members to film their mvs and yet shes the one who was picked to be added after three weeks of her being w the company. three weeks !!! thats a lot of pressure but despite that she gave us everything she got. she was real nervous in the beginning anyone could tell when u watched her loona tv arc but she got over it and by the time chuu’s arc rolled around she was joking around w/ the others like it was nothing. shes so funny too but in an awkward way. like she doesnt mean to be but she says and does shit that makes u ?? and u cant help but laugh. her gig with marishe? i have never seen anything funnier like that bitch really took 100+ photos all w the same face and w the same three poses if that’s not talent idk what is. and i dont think it’s been confirmed in writing yet but shes gonna be such a good leader for the eden unit i feel it in my bones 
chuu: when i tell u my heart has skipped a beat over this girl. im not saying it 2 be dramatic im deadass. my heart has skipped a beat multiple times watching her whether it be a fancam or a loona tv or even a selfie. i’ve watched that little instagram update of her in her pig onesie more times than i want 2 disclose. her voice???? oh my god im in love with it. shes such a strong singer like STRONG and u can hear that in heart attack and girl’s talk and see saw but if u listen to her covers shes done before being introduced as a member it’s like !!!!! wow. and she makes a lot of noises. like just incoherent sounds and its so cute i could cry. like i dont have the attention span 2 sit and watch a vlive if it’s not subbed … but i’d do it for her just bc i love hearing her talk i love her voice on any and all levels u could love someones voice. and all her little mannerisms are adorable and this could really turn into me typing a whole mla formatted essay on how i find her 2 be one of the cutest girls in the world but i’ll spare u. and ofc shes not just cute like i said before this girl is talented and i cant wait for loona to grow as a group so she can be on bigger and bigger platforms for more and more ppl to hear her sing bc thats just how it should be
gowon: i lov her i lov her i lov her!! i’d do just about anything for this girl if she asked but i feel like regardless of who u are u wouldnt be able to refuse her even if u wanted to. i latch onto every word she says everything she says is gold. shes so giggly and a lot of that giggling is bc she probably feels awkward but it’s still real cute. shes also lowkey highkey gotta mouth on her like she’ll really come for ppls throats if she feels it’s necessary and thats beautiful to me. she doesnt get enough credit but as pretty as she is more attention should be focused on her talents bc she is a talented girl. her vocal tone is high and ‘cute’ but i think it melds so well w/ the other girls’ voices and theres a lot of opportunity there if and when they decide to create new sub-units/have more duet songs. and my girl can dance im tired of ppl overlooking her bc?? her pre-debut vids are a little stiff ye but theres so much potential there shes such a gem and i cant wait for her to grow more bc i know theres so much she could be doing w/ what she has
olivia hye: when she said love myself today let u go today? i felt that

CONGRATULATIONS, KITSON!
You have been accepted to play the role of ARIA BELLEFONTE with the faceclaim of PHOEBE TONKIN. Please create your account and send it to the main in the next 24 hours. From the ‘pinot noir painted lips’ to her thriving under bright lights, it’s clear in every line of your application just how much you understand Aria. It’s clear you know just how much important Elizabeth was to Aria and just how much of an impact her death has had, as beautifully shown in your sample. You managed to turn a sophisticated writing style into something so fluent and so cursive that every fancy word and every letter you picked for your application complete a complex feeling that represents Aria wholly. Your writing brings her to life in such vivid detail, capturing her magnetism and her grief in a wonderful balance. To quote what you wrote and adapt it to the context, damn this application for making us feel. We need to meet straightaway.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name and pronouns:
Kitson &/or Kit
Age:
19
Time-zone:
I’m currently residing in the CST tz but once college starts back up again in the fall I’ll be switching to the EST tz.
Activity level:
Since it’s summer and I don’t have too much on my plate, my activity should be about a 7/10. I do babysit quite often but I still have a lot of free time on my hands
Triggers:
Whether my stomach of steel is a blessing or a curse is a question still unknown to myself. It takes a lot for something to truly unsettle me. So, with that being said I personally don’t have any triggers, but will take careful precautions to be mindful of others!
IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Desired character:
Synonymous with  BLACK. She is slanted. All pinot noir smeared lips and little baggies of cocaine spilling from a jeweled bustier.  Cheap. The broken starlet, the tortured little princess, the whore.Spoilt,  spoilt, spoilt  and now she’s rotten. Decaying.  A false god,  Dionysus personified. Perhaps it had begun years ago,  the decomposition. Perhaps it had been inherent. This anger within her thick, black, and pulsating. SHE HAD LOVED THE NIGHT SO MUCH ,  SHE BECAME IT.  All fishnet stockings, ripped and glistening diamonds choking her perfumed neck. The degenerate and strange old hollywood starlet with porcelain flesh and eyes like death, cigarette ashes and slinky lingerie  and cocaine powdered noses. A tragedy in its truest form of an angel fallen. A primordial being, dirtied, sullied.  She is the void.  Emptiness, darkness, loneliness personified. But she doesn’t mind. Not anymore.
You are a GIRL and you are a WOLF.  A beast, they deemed you, ravenous, they said. Terrifyingly so, you agreed as you cut another line of cocaine. But once upon a time, you had been PUERILE & PURE, an unbroken doll composed of eager eyes and painted cheeks. Now, you thrive beneath BRIGHT LIGHTS and hot hands, solace found beneath a heavy touch against turning hips and nicotine sullied breaths mingling against your liquored lips. Perhaps you have lost yourself in the neon jungle, painted a doll-like exterior visceral shades of melancholic blue,
BUT YOUR NAME IS STILL ARIA BELLEFONTE AND YOU ARE A HAZY FEVER DREAM OF A GIRL.
( THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN TO BE TRUE. )
Gender and pronouns of the character:
Female. Uses she/her pronouns.
Changes:
If you’d accept it, I’d like to use Phoebe Tonkin as Aria’s faceclaim.
Traits:
( - J E A L O U S ) she sees others with their seemingly perfect family and their put together lives and yearns to drown cities with her tears. instead she laughs, mocks the malleable and obedient children, and tosses back another flute or two of champagne, snorts another line or two of pretty white party favors off her mother’s collection of vogue magazines or the bible she keeps hidden in a mahogany drawn from her brief religious stint her freshman year and thanks the lord above that she hadn’t become her parents. but all aria wanted was to be admired for more than her look, more than her last name, and she often wonders how different her life might’ve been had she continued murmuring her Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s in the front pew of the church. Whether her parents could have loved her in the way she wanted them to love her, been proud of her accomplishments, no matter how small, like other parents were. She knew no family was perfect and that every one percenter had familial problems, but seeing them chatting casually over brunch made her blood boil. Watching the pretty and perfectly moulded girls introduce their gilded boyfriends of three years to their seemingly doting mothers made her want to scream.
( - O B S E S S I V E ) there is something so terrifying about an addictive woman with an addictive personality. & aria bellefonte is just that. she latches onto anything, whether it be drugs or booze or exploiting her sexuality, to keep herself from drowning in her thoughts. she obsesses to the point of it being hazardous, drinks herself into a drunken stupor all to forget the lack of parental adoration and approval. with no love from mommy, and all money and material belongings from daddy, aria had been spat out unto a man eats man world with nothing but ignorance and a need for fleeting bliss. almost childish and almost mature she’s stuck in between two conflicting personalities. she is both the addictive drug and the addicted.
( + P A S S I O N A T E ) aria was all late nights spent dancing across penthouse floors, body swaying to white noise and the deafening silence. far too glamorous, far too beautiful, far too free for anyone to truly tame. she wasn’t like the others, and preferred red rimmed eyes and distant recollections of nights spent with various different men and women to a traditional relationship. yet that didn’t stop her yearning. she is wild and fiercely independent. a beacon of passion dulled by prescription pills and excessive amounts of alcohol.
( + M A G N E T I C ) there is something so naturally compelling about aria. something so different. she’s exotic almost, yet entirely mundane. in a world of opulence, she is the woman across the room sipping beer from a champagne flute, puffing plumes of  smoke from her father’s cigar into the air. she is the woman eating a cheeseburger amidst a crowd of calorie counters. she is late nights spent riding backseat in a cab, cigarette between pinot noir painted lips and a blunt tucked into her back pocket. there is something about her that draws you in and spits you out after a night of neon lights and adventure, dank bars and dirty sex. she had never been pristine nor pretty in the traditional sense, she is raw and unconventional— an enthralling enigma.
Extras:
It was so, so hard trying to decide on a major for Aria, and I’m still debating a bit between Sociology or Psychology. Both seem to fit her to a degree, I just can’t decide at this moment which is the more suitable option.
i. Aria has always associated flowers with death for reasons unknown. Maybe it was the pungent scent of yesterday’s plethora of floral harvests bringing to mind nothing but funeral parlors, adorned with already wilting flowers, their lives ending before their time for the sole reason of capturing their beauty. Or perhaps the affiliation had been made due to the lethal nature of countless plants. Belladonnas, lustrous and plump, yet waxed in fatal poison. Roses armored in thorns eager to impale wandering fingertips. There was something dangerous about flowers. Pretty and poisonous, much like herself. Perhaps that was what had roused the link between the two.
ii. Aria has a nasty habit of fingernail biting. Having developed it at a younger age, she is constantly going through spurts of recovery from her grotesque desire to gnaw at her thumbnail when under pressure to spiraling out of control and chewing off each and every nail when partaking in an especially enthralling conversation or viewing a particular intriguing movie.
iii. Aria drinks coffee like she breathes air. Excessively.
v.  Perhaps a lifestyle of obedience had never been in the cards for the hardened shell of the already hardened exterior. Born unto the biting air and falling temperatures, Aria hadn’t been birthed to be warm and amicable. She had been meant to be a force of nature. Dangerous, sardonic, blatant, and honest. Yet she yearned to love and be loved in return. But a hurricane of a girl drowning past selves to make room for the newer, better, improved Aria’s could never truly be loved in the way she wanted to be.  Yet she continued on in an attempt to please two expectant parents. A form of self destruction, natural selection at its finest as the girl shed skins to fit into certain habitations until the incessant adaptions had grown tiring. It hadn’t ever required new identities to disguise a broken past, and Aria had desired to become a simpler version of the intricate entanglements she had woven. Simply herself. Perhaps brazen, perhaps rash, but entirely true to the soul she had become. Never the beauteous woman draped over the hero’s arm nor the hero himself. Sutton the cunning villain, the serpent in the garden of Eden. For she deceived. She broke. She burned. She singed all those who treaded too close. She destroyed all good that came her way. Matured at such a young age, deprived, depraved, broken and mended and broken again. A work in progress, a listener but never willing to open herself up in return, a friend but never deeming many her own, an enigma in every sense of the word. The only connection she has to her parents and past is her last name. Nothing else. 
vii. Elizabeth Pemberly. The girl she sought hard to forget. Yet she is lingering in nightmares, a stitch in her side. Inescapable. All the prescription pills popped, and champagne bottles chugged, and blunts rolled and each broken boy and girl made a home out of for the night and she still couldn’t forget. Damn her. Damn that Elizabeth Pemberly for making her feel.
vi. Born November 13, Aria is a Scorpio.  “The Scorpio woman should never be taken lightly. They aren’t flaky, fluffy, or helpless creatures by any stretch of the imagination. Direct, and brilliantly sharp, Scorpio women only focus on the fundamental essence of any issue and disregard the superfluous. They like clear endings and beginnings, with no grey areas in between. A Scorpio woman wants her certainties to remain just so - absolutely rock steady and assured. She wants to understand everything and knows how to craft just the right question to obtain the answers she seeks. Scorpios are intuitive, controlling, and sometimes self-destructive, but in all this they have a certain deadly beauty to their personalities. They are fearless and stubborn and even when life gets a little tricky they merely take it on the chin and keep going. Self-confident, resourceful, and strong, Scorpios are driven to succeed; they work hard and are willing to sacrifice anything to get to their goals. They are also complex and secretive, choosing who they divulge their secrets to carefully.” [x]
vii. Aria’s alignment is chaotic neutral.
( I have bolded what I feel pertains especially to Aria’s personality and beliefs. )
A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn’t strive to protect others’ freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society’s restrictions and a do-gooder’s zeal. Chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.
This type of character will at least consider doing anything if they can find enjoyment or amusement. Life has meaning, but theirs has the greatest meaning. According to chaotic neutrals, laws and rules infringe on personal freedom and were meant to be broken. This character is always looking for the best deal, and will work with good, neutral, or evil to get it; as long as he comes out of the situation on top. The chaotic neutral is constantly teetering between good and evil, rebelling, and bending the law to fit his needs. (3)Chaotic neutrals can also be completely random and unpredictable.
They may shift allegiances at a moment’s notice, or remain with a leader for years. The chaotic neutral character feels that there is no plan at all for the universe. Things just happen. They tend to believe in luck and chance, rather than fate or destiny. They don’t care what happens to others, yet will not necessarily go out of their way to harm others. If someone stands in the way of their happiness, they may kill that individual or move on to something else. Their priorities tend to change as they experience new things in life. They may even appear to adhere to another alignment for some length of time, only to switch at an inappropriate moment. They can be the worst tricksters, conning people, not for gain, but for sheer amusement. The chaotic neutral may not be driven by fame or wealth, but may only take actions just to see what happens.
A chaotic neutral character will keep his word if it serves his interests. He may attack an unarmed foe if he feels it necessary. He will not kill, but may harm an innocent. He may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. He may kill for pleasure, but is not likely to do so. A chaotic neutral character may use poison. He may help those in need and he prefers to work alone, as he values his freedom. He does not respond well to higher authority, is distrustful of organizations, and will disregard the law in pursuing his self-interest. He may betray a family member, comrade, or friend, but only in the most dire of situations. Chaotic neutral characters do not respect the concepts of self-discipline and honor, because they believe such concepts limit freedom to advance their self-interest.
PARA SAMPLE
The world didn’t stop for her broken heart— the clock kept on with its routine ticking and the earth didn’t cease to revolve. The erratic pulsating of jaded hearts incarcerated within uncompromising ribs sustained until one day its seemingly everlasting palpitations eventually ceased. Breathe, eat, party, sleep, and wake up. Tha-thump. Breathe, eat, party, sleep, and wake up.  Tha-thump. Tha-thump.  Breathe, eat, party, sleep, wake up. Again and again and again. Over and over again. Repeat. Until the perpetuity of existence no longer seemed so daunting anymore.
The world didn’t stop for her broken heart— people moved on and the earth didn’t cease to revolve. Yet she defied the consensus and took a cursory hiatus from her quotidian procedures to mourn the unforeseen death of the girl who had settled in her heart.
Inhale,
Exhale,
The air hung static and bore the lethal scent of melancholy and death like an intoxicatingly bitter fragrance. Hushed was the erratic surging of one stone heart intermingling with the motionless atmosphere. Silenced was the volatile screaming of her. Befallen was a certain sense of placidity. Submerged was the room as Aria Bellefonte with her white powdered nose listened impassively as the story had been told. Tongue swollen, lips bruised from keeping it all in. Although her battle wounds were inconsequential  in comparison to the traumatic injuries that had been inflicted upon her Elizabeth, she was weakened. Paralyzed by apprehension.
The inferno, the fervor that momentarily raged within had gone compliant. The vitality and perseverance to keep herself ignited had been usurped by sorrow. It was tragic, truly, witnessing the happiness stone-cold Aria had momentarily possessed being expelled from her body like air from lungs the very moment she heard that Elizabeth Pemberly had breathed her final breath.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Forget and forgive.
But after such an unexpected tragedy, how could she truly be capable of overcoming her need to blame others and begin to do so?
Life became dull cycle that the bitter girl forcibly underwent everyday. Biting remarks and glassy gazes throughout the daylight hours and a typhoon of emotions in the dead of night. Breathe, eat, party, sleep, and wake up. Do it over again. Wake up, breathe, eat,  party and sleep. Breathe, eat, party, sleep, and wake up. Again and again. Repetition was key to overcoming, right?
Of course it was.
Seconds passed with a certain lethargy. Minutes. Hours. Days. It was common knowledge that the world didn’t stop for her broken heart— the clock kept on with it’s routine ticking and the earth didn’t cease to revolve.
And maybe the world would never cease it’s incessant rotation for one measly broken heart, but Aria Bellefonte would. For she ceased to exist without the faulty tha-thump resonating within the hollow of her chest. Aria Bellefonte ceased to exist without the unbearable pain of her lover’s demise on her delicate shoulders.
Hazel hues swept throughout the room, fleeting from object to object before landing on the mirror. The facade had been eradicated long ago, she knew that now. Concealing the sorrow lurking within seemed futile. But she had spent the entirety of her life donning a caustic personality and a cold stare to match. She couldn’t stop now. She wouldn’t. And so Aria continued to spend her nights painting a bitter frown bright shades of red before slipping out into the night. Dead, like usual. But broken this time. For once upon a time, she had felt alive.

 yoooooOOOOOOO you all have no idea how grateful i am to reach this milestone. this blog was a reboot of alison, and i was really worried that i wouldn’t be able to play her like before since i was basically starting from scratch again, but i’m really glad to see that she ( and the boys!! ) have been accepted and loved, and i’m so happy i’ve gotten the chance to create meaningful relationships both ic and ooc! 
i’ve never actually done a bias list before despite how many years i’ve been rping on tumblr, but i think it’s about time i make one since i think this blog is one of my best experiences in terms of shipping, friendships, and threading and i really should just make a shoutout to some very special people and say thank you to everyone for sticking with this blog and helping me flesh out my muses!
( MY PINGU CHILDREN )
mostly an inside joke formed in a skype chat ( tbt nerdie wormies lmaoo ) , but there’s a reason why they’re my pingu children and i’m pingu mum!
@kingofevcrything: hoooly shit can you believe we’ve known each other for like four years? practically four years?? since my first year having alison, emile and cedric?? and i’m pretty sure you had a part in me adding nate to the blog too, seeing as how his only ship is your muse lmao. i really can’t say enough about you because i think you’re just so special to me, and i hold you so near and dear to my heart. i can’t express how thrilled and grateful i am to have you still be my friend after all these years. i’ve had rp partners leave and it’s always heartbreaking especially when memorable relationships have been formed. but our friendship has passed the test of time, and i hope, hope, hope with all my might that we’ll stay friends for many more years to come, even if one of us decides to stop rping. i really can’t express how important our friendship is to me, like you really have no idea. my soul weeps for our muses and our threads. i just love you lots and i always wish for good things to happen to you, and i am so glad to be your mum. i am so thankful for our friendship, and i still really can’t believe we have so many fucking aus like holy shit wtf <33
@halsionic: my bby pingu child <3 we also have a shit ton of aus lmao and i also treasure those even if we’ve only touched on them in chat and never in thread. i also can’t express how thankful i am to have met you. pure chance had us meet, and i’m just so happy that you reached out to me. i can’t imagine us still being strangers on the dash, our muses so foreign to each other. like, alien literally coNSUMES both of us now, and it’s just so taboo to imagine otherwise. i love you to bits, especially since you’ve always been so supportive to me no matter what i’m going through. i can always count on you to help me through hard times, even if it’s just a short conversation about what’s bothering me. but i appreciate everything you’ve done for me as a listening ear. and not to mention those shitposts you send to me every day too---our friendship wouldn’t be complete without good ole shitposting and sIN. smooches from pingu mum to pingu child!! i look forward to screaming about our feelings to each other in the future!
( MY SOARING EAGLES )
those whom i also consider dear friends on this site ooc ( but we don’t have a pingu family thing going on haha )
@gloryundimmed: aaaaAAAAAA G R A Y oh my god you’re gonna laugh at me but i was really scared of interacting with you at first. like, i was so happy you liked my starter call?? because that made it super easy for us to interact?? i was really worried that we’d end up being those blogs that follow each other but never interact buT NO WAY WE TOTALLY INTERACT NOW!! and i have so much fun rping with you holy shit i really do. i get real excited whenever you reply or answer my asks ( no matter how long it’s been; you can always take your time! ) because i just adore kai and alison like---i didn’t think their ship would be so wholesome but it totally is. and i love it. i also never thought we’d be such good friends, especially since we haven’t known each other for very long, but i’m super, duper, happy that we are. like our conversations are always so interesting and non stressful, and i’m just really happy that i’ve gotten the opportunity to befriend you and thread with you! also, i think your editing and themes are hella rad. also!! i’m really looking forward to more aus with you in the future if you’re up for it, and also ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) if you’re up for it too with kai and ali ( yes i totally used this as an excuse to put in a lenny face but i also meant what i said lmaoo broADEN MY WRITING HORIZONS ). anyway!! i’m glad to have you as a friend, i love your writing, and i would totally be down for interactions with your others muses too because i think they’re also great! 
@wintercursed​: i absolutely adore alison and hiro’s dynamic, and i guess in a way you could say it’s sort of our dynamic too. not exactly, not perfectly, but i suppose a little piece of ourselves could be seen in our muses. ahh, i wish i could shower you in all the memes and threads you’ve ever wanted, but alas, i’m too distracted and my muses are too fickle for such a thing. but i really do love talking about our muses together and just having fun like that; the brotp between alison and hiro is one of my favorites tbh. i also!! am really flattered you see me as a friend. i’m so glad i get to call you one of mine! i get so happy whenever things go well for you, and i hope things will keep going well for you!! we may have lost touch in the last few months ( year? has it been a year? i hope not ), but i still admire you and your muse as much as i did before. fun fact: i actually followed you even before this blog! but that was before i really got a chance to interact and talk with you haha. anywho, i hope the best for you, and let’s stay in touch! <3
@travaileur / @dulcetxdreams: ro!!! ro, ro, ro, ro!!!! man i can’t even put my finger down on how we met. i guess it started on aito’s blog with the chatzys and then it moved to here when ali and eden were struggling to figure out their feelings? and you were one of their fans haha. that was a very eventful time. and now, look at where our bbies are now! claire and alison have developed their own friendship, and it is literally goals. alison is just so good to claire, and i cry it’s just so cute. our interactions have been limited with both of us being busy bees, and that’s okay! i look forward to seeing ali and claire together no matter what, and i’d love to keep talking about them more whenever you’re free! also, i always appreciate those cat pictures your send me or those bird photos you tag me in. bless, bless, those always make my day. anywho, you’re a sweetie pie and i lov u lots and i’m so happy i got the chance to meet you and have my muse have such a cute friendship with your muse. i can’t wait to see how that will develop!
@textsfromeponinet / @evangrantconrad / @whocaresaboutlonelysouls: i’m fairly certain you followed me from blog to blog! from my old alison blog to this one, i’m so glad that you decided to stick around even through the big switch. i’ve had lots of fun playing all of my muses with you, from your eponine blog and beyond! you helped me flesh out cedric in a way too, giving rise to his pretentious character now thanks to our beauty and the beast au haha. i really have to thank you for that! and now, with emile, we have such a sweet ship, and i’m looking forward to all of the cuteness that awaits! you’re such a good friend to me too, even though i stink at replying to ims, so i’m really thankful you haven’t been deterred from chatting with me. you’ve also given me such nice advice over the years, and i’m very, very thankful for your college advice <3 i hope we can remain friends and have more threads!
@ivorybled / @hyoukan: i think about how we met sometimes and like---it’s such a unique way of meeting?? like our muses both lil shits and therefore would attract each other because they would love doing shitty things together, and that blossomed into one of my favorite brotps. lanzo and aito will always be my shit because they’re just hilarious to me, and add in eden and it’s even more of a mess. but this isn’t a bias list for aito’s blog so i’ll save that fangirling for another time, but !!! i love?? your writing?? so much??? it’s a very unique style and oh my god it’s like fking poetry and i can just indulge in your writing like it’s just so good. and speaking of what’s good, you’re good!!! we haven’t talked much recently, but i’m so flattered to be one of your fave boofs bc you’re one of mine too!!! technically you’re a bird now but that’s even better because you love birds!! i always have such a fun time talking with you on ims even if it’s just a short chat, whether it’s lanzo/aito, lanzo/alison, or eru/alison because the ideas are literally limitless with you. and it’s such a blast to yell at each other about our muses and their relationship; i can feel your passion and that’s just really great okay. i hope we can keep yelling at each other and keep in touch even if we’re both busy bees, and i’m really glad we became friends <3

( MY SWEET PARAKEETS )
those whom i haven’t gotten a chance to really interact with yet ( due to busy schedules, lack of a good opportunity, being a new follower, or just me being too shy ) but admire greatly and would love a chance to write with! we may have had a handful of short interactions before, or maybe none at all, but in either case, i’d love to have more!

also i sort of did have trouble determining if some people were canaries or parakeets but whichever one you are, feel free to hmu for interactions but i love new partners and new ideas and just meeting new people so please reach out if you’d like to! (〃^▽^〃)
ps do u guys like the little birbs i added to my promo bc i really do.

I'm so late but I sure hope you're still doing that ask meme because if you are I'm giving you Hannibal and Star Wars. Because I know you too well and I know you'd be waiting ;D - tattlecrimc
YESSSSSSS EDEN BLESS U (i’m assuming you mean this one bc that’s the only one i’ve reblogged recently)
i will ramble horribly on the hannibal one and i’m very sorry about it so i’ll leave that for last so i can put it under a read more
i should probably warn u that the only movie fresh in my memory is the force awakens so all of this is gonna be answered through a v tfa-heavy lens but ok
star wars
three favourite male characters: poe dameron, kylo ren & general hux (DON’T KILL ME i know kylo & hux are awful, the fandom paired w/ my pre-existing love for domhnall gleeson did this to me and i am v ashamed). finn, han solo, bodhi rook, cassian andor, chirrut imwe & luke skywalker are also v dear to me. listen i just have a lot of love to givethree favourite female characters: jessika pava (i’d better see So Much of her in ep8), phasma & padme amidala. & also rey! ‘Needs More Girls’ is my opinion on most franchises but especially star warsfavourite pairing(s): finn/poe, kylo/hux, rey/jessika & han/luke! i also like obi-wan/anakin in the sense that i don’t actively go looking for stuff abt it but when i do see it on my dash my heart does a lil “!!”notp(s): r*ylo is like one of the only ships on my blacklist so that probably tells u something. i’m also p Ew about rey with any of the villains, so that also rules out rey/hux & rey/kylo/hux which i see way too often all over the place. also you wouldn’t think snoke/kylo would be a thing but i’ve seen fics & i’ve seen art and i’ve like cried every single time, experiencing that was my tragic backstory and now i’m a jaded & cynical anti-hero who’s seen Too Much™least favourite character: snoke who’s like me: i’ll hesitantly say padme amidala? i saw the prequels when i was too young to be properly interested in them and i haven’t rewatched them yet so 99% of my knowledge is secondhand, but from what i’ve seen she’s the most relatable most attractive: jessika pava tbh, yet another reason behind me hoping she’s around a lot in the next movie, i am Absolutely in love alreadyfavourite moment/scene: THAT’S MY JACKET(also lowkey the whole starkiller/hosnian system scene, that was shot so impressively w/ the whole ~greatcoat blowing dramatically in wind~ and the brief reaction shot of the people on hosnian prime and the lights shooting across the sky and damn)favourite quote(s): LOTS
“so this is how liberty dies. with thunderous applause.” - padme
“if you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people.” - maz
“mm. lost a planet, master obi-wan has. how embarrassing.” - yoda
“are you kidding me? i’m blind!” - chirrut 
“there’s a problem on the horizon. …there is no horizon.” - k2-so
“so you’re with the resistance?”“obviously. yes, i am. i am with the resistance, yeah. i’m with the resistance.”“i’ve never met a resistance fighter before.”“well, this is what we look like. some of us. others look different.” - rey & finn
“lieutenant, get back to your station!”“just look! we won’t survive. even hux is gone!” - rodinon
“through the ages, i’ve seen evil take many forms: the sith. the empire. today, it is the first order.” - maz
“where is my boyfriend? […] i like that wookiee.” - maz
ok right. now for my favourite thing in the world. the show i don’t shut up about. the universe to which my heart belongs
hannibal
three favourite male characters: will graham, hannibal lecter & anthony dimmondthree favourite female characters: chiyoh, molly graham & reba mcclane (also beverly katz. and freddie lounds. and abigail hobbs. and literally every other girl)favourite pairing(s): hannibal/will, margot/alana, reba/molly, abigail/marissa & jimmy/brian are the ones i pay most attention to, but i’m honestly also down for literally any other f/f ship u can imagine from this shownotp(s): there isn’t anything i would specifically call a notp, but i’m not a huge fan of will/alana or hannibal/alana i guess? just bc as much as i love will & hannibal, alana deserves 1000x better and i lovelovelove her with margot. i also dislike mason with literally anyone for what i would hope are obvious reasons. i also tend to be kinda cringey about abigail with will or hannibal in a romantic/sexual sense bc it’s made very clear that their relationship with her is parent/child and that she’s a teenager so it feels v creepy to meleast favourite character: i like them enough as characters but i’ll say francis dolarhyde & mason verger. bc everything mason does ever makes me feel vaguely ill and my first impression of francis dolarhyde was him stretching and grunting @ his mirror in briefs w/ Glistening Muscles and i was done with That and ready to move on in under 0.00002 seconds but it just….. kept happeningwho’s most like me: peter bernardone, abigail hobbs & s1!will graham most attractive: chiyoh! i was literally Gone from the second we saw her through will’s goddamn binoculars favourite moment/scene: literally every second of dark!will i am so here for that. every moment from when he attacked freddie in the barn and then. u know. ate randall tier with hannibal, the whole ~i’ve given up good & evil for behaviourism~ conversation and the knife exchange in the kitchen. also him bringing randall’s body to hannibal in the middle of the night like some dog looking for approval wtf. and obviously him & hannibal double-teaming & killing francis in the season finale and running the fuck away together and then coming back to eat bedelia like I JUST REALLY LOVE DARK!WILLfavourite quote(s): i have SO MANY. some of them i just think are gorgeous and thought-provoking, some i like for shippy reasons or bc they were super chilling or Ominous on a rewatch/paired with later context, and some i just find straight-up hilarious
hannibal: “i’ve always found the idea of death comforting. the thought that my life could end at any moment frees me to fully appreciate the beauty and art and horror of everything this world has to offer.”
hannibal: “the essence of the worst in the human spirit is not found in the crazy sons-of-bitches. ugliness is found in the faces of the crowd.”  
jack: “you remember when you decided to call hannibal?”will: “i wasn’t decided when i called him. i just called him. i deliberated while the phone rang… i decided when i heard his voice.”jack: “you told him we knew.” will: “i told him to leave, because i wanted him to run.”jack: “why?”will: “because… because he was my friend. and because i wanted to run away with him.” 
hannibal: “you cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love.” 
will: “i’ve never known myself as well as i know myself… when i’m with him.” 
hannibal: “when the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes a-running. but not to help. when you hear jack scream, why will you come running?”
chiyoh: “you have a taste for it now.”will: “for what?”chiyoh: “harm.”will: “do you?”chiyoh: “i was violent when it was the right thing to do. but i think you like it. […] if you don’t kill him, you’re afraid you’re going to become him.”will: “yes.”
freddie: “i’ve interviewed enough serial killers to know one when i see one. […] a very specific brand of hostility. i see it every time i look at will graham.” 
gray: “there is no god.”hannibal: “well, not with that attitude.” 
hannibal: “hello! i love your work.” (YOU NEED CONTEXT FOR THIS ONE BUT I LOVE IT)
guest: “it smells divine!”hannibal: “it is! i say that without ego. i don’t require conventional reinforcement.” 
hannibal: “that may have been impulsive.”
hannibal: “a paradox.”alana: “freddie lounds thinks the two of you are a paradox. she sees something no one else sees.”will: “and what’s that?”alana: “that neither of you is the killer she’s writing about… but together you might be.” 
will: “i’d pack my bags if i were you, bedelia. meat’s back on the menu. […] ready or not, here he comes.” 
freddie: “what will understands is that if you can’t beat hannibal lecter… join him.” 
hannibal: “what’s the meat? veal? pork?”will: “she was a slim and delicate pig.”hannibal: “i’ll make you lomo soltado. we’ll make it together. …you slice the ginger.” […]hannibal: “this meat is not pork.”will: “it’s long pig.” (RIDICULOUS. now they’re both making puns while eating people)
will: “is hannibal in love with me?”bedelia: “could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you? yes. but do you ache for him?”
