#AHHH I'm excited about the edit for this one :D

“Let’s do this,” he says. “Let’s,” Alex agrees, pushing down on the handle until the door swings open. “After you, boyfriend.” This is most definitely not his finest idea. Henry usually practices much better self preservation skills. Much better common sense skills. He steps over the threshold of Alex’s room and it feels like sealing his fate. They’re doing this for Alex to win over their bosses in a lighthearted game with a harmless lie, but Henry can’t fight off the bitter knowledge that, regardless of how tonight goes, Alex will be fine, but Henry has so much to lose.

or, it's couple's trivia night and alex & henry pretend to be in a relationship to win over their bosses.

OMG Clandestine is done!

I am so so so excited to say I just posted the epilogue to Clandestine! Featuring a beautiful commission from @itslotuseater!

Ships: Jegulus, background wolfstar, dorlene, pandalily, rosekiller Rating: M Length: 142k (FINISHED! COMPLETED! AHH!)

Summary:

He was crying. “You can do that?” He repeated, feeling like he was in some sort of dream. And then, Sirius seemed to realize. Because for a twelve-year-old, he was decently smart, and knew him better than anyone. “D’you…d’you want to do that, Reggie? I thought…I thought it was just a game?” But he could only shake his head. Because it wasn't a game. He was a boy. And he could tell from Sirius's nervously resigned expression that Sirius knew it, too. "It's...not a game." --- There's not enough Trans Regulus Black, so here's a fic to help fix the problem. Rated mature for lots of references to transphobia and Walburga Black being a piece of shit. COMPLETED (I'm not crying, you are)

Ahhh, my long-winded thank-you note:

First and foremost, thank you to Arson, my amazing Alpha Reader who brainrotted with me throughout almost the entire process. I literally could not have finished this without you, and I am so thankful to have you in my life. You've helped me through so many cases of horrible Writer's Block, encouraged me whenever I needed it, and you're an amazing friend. I hope you love your "Barty and Evan's Bitch" shirt :D

Second, to my wife, who literally dealt with me talking about this fic for TEN MONTHS. You're literally the most amazing and supportive person in my life, and I love you more than words. Thank you for being the James to my Regulus.

Third, to my Beta Reader, Kat, who is still wading through the trenches of this fic finding all my mistakes. I am so glad to have you and thank you for dealing with all of my errors and answering my messages at odd hours of the night.

Fourth, to all of the people who have encouraged me: Abby, Danielle, Kelz, everyone on the discord servers who has seen me struggle, you guys are amazing and I am so thankful to you.

Fifth, to the lovely people who created fanart for this fic. You all are amazing and you brought this to life. I bow down to you, truly, you are so incredibly talented.

Sixth, to the people who I interviewed about dysphoria and being on T, so I could have a more well-rounded understanding about Regulus's experience. Though I identify as trans, I am so thankful that other trans people were willing to give their experiences in areas I wanted to describe as accurately as possible.

And last, to all of you, who read and kudosed and inboxed and recommended and commented and kept me going. You all are amazing, and you've made this such a positive experience. This fic really was for me, to work through my own gender an discover about myself, and I am so thankful you have been here along this journey.

I want to reiterate that this is one trans person's journey, but I think it's so important to have representation in all forms of media. I'm hoping that my version of Reggie has helped with that a little bit! He's my baby, and he deserves all the good things.

Keep an eye out for the B-sides of this fic! I'll add a chapter to this work linking to it, so if you're subscribed to this, you'll get an e-mail. I'll also be editing this work to fix all the errors, and I'll be doing the B-sides as I go. It probably won't be for a couple of weeks, since I am now working, and I won't have any strict posting schedule, but I'm excited for those as well!

I love you all. Thanks for being a part of this journey.

I am literally checking your blog daily how the backflipping DUCK did I miss the recent snippet!?!?

It is genius. Bestest thing in the entire universe. I am filled with admiration for your skills. If I were home, I would be screaming into a pillow.

Just how do you make snippets this good?!?? Hahah♡ /pos

Backflipping duck got me, HAHA, thank you for that. Honestly, this entire chapter has been sitting solidly in "there's a lot of emotional fallout here from the previous installments of this series, and it is making me very paranoid about pulling both of them out of character," so I'm really glad people are enjoying the bits of WIP that I've been posting! Now that I've made it through a night out followed by an all-day party, I can sit, relax, and edit the shit out of it prior to posting so that I feel solid about it, hahaha. Anyway, thank you so much! <3 These kind messages have been fueling me amidst all the chaos, ehehe.

More replies specifically on the snippet under the cut! <3

okay I'm DYING over that snippet, alastor is going through a crisis not feeling comfortable with what they've been doing any longer and trying to figure out how to express that and one of the first things vox says when he breaches the topic is "I'm gonna dress up valentino as you and fantasize about fucking you anyway" like buddy!! all horny no brain asdfg they're both killing me omg - ✨

Vox was allowed like two seconds of healthy, genuine communication prior to the snippet I posted before I was like, "Hm, one sec, gotta remind everyone who he is," hahaha. He was, to be fair, mostly trying to be glib in that moment in a way that just didn't land.

Vox says "well it doesn't have to be literally you if you don't want" and Alastor hears "I've objectified the idea of you to such an extent that I'm going to go to such length to still realize my desire to fuck you" and oof.

Hi, anon who loves your writing snippets here 👋 Reaction summarized: “The Emotions They destroyed their cage Yes YES The Emotions are out” In other words: I am ready to be utterly obliterated. Hit me with the emotional weightlifting these two idiots are about to do. I’m rubbing my hands vigorously like a little creacher, a raccoon or common housefly, perhaps. On another note, so happy you’re getting off to a good start in your residency! As someone who’s been below the poverty line for most of their life, I know how thrilling it can be to look at future housing prospects. There’s nothing I love more than decorating a new space to make it feel like home :). I hope for the best for you these upcoming months!

Ehehehe, what a GREAT use of that poem. >:D The emotions really have finallly destroyed their cage. Time to face the music!!

And ahhh, thank you! Yeah, I've moved around a lot throughout my life (including switching houses weekly between my parents most of my life) and I feel like one of the ways I adapted to it was just being very gung-ho about decorating and home-ifying a place I'm staying, so I'm so excited to finally have a space that is All Mine To Do With As I Please without being concerned about roommates, etc, etc. And it won't be permanent, but I'll be there three years, and that's a decently long time!!

[destined-if]

Hi Fay!!! 🤗

Hope you're doing awesome!!! :D

I'm so super excited for Destined!! It seems so interesting and fun, and who doesn't love a good heist ^^ But please don't rush or push yourself, it's gonna be fun and exciting whenever it comes out 👍

I did just have one question if you don't mind?? It's fairly selfish lmao so the answer might be obvious as more info comes out haha :)

As I said, I super support having the ROs not like all types of MCs! Like I have plenty of types of people I would probably be friends with but wouldn't date, and it makes the world feel so lived in and real.

But....would Isla be compatible with a nice, shy, oblivious, borderline Himbo? 🙏

I just tend to accidentally make that type of character my first time through most IFs 🤣 And I'm just super weak for Friends to Lovers and soft mutual pining 🥺🥺

If not, the others also look fun too (Ivy opposites 👀👀) so just curious!

Thanks so much for all you do!! :D 🫡

AHHH POET you're gonna make me cry, like ACTUALLY. also i will never ever ever ever mind questions. if you had a million, i would answer them all with a smile on my face!!!!!! i love seeing people interested in what i have to write. it makes me so happy!!

thank you so much!!! you're the sweetest person EVER. i'm really new to coding so i'm struggling atm cause like .... WHY IS IT SO HARD??? NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT ENOUGH??? ANYWAYYY

Isla would be 100% down for a relationship with that kinda MC. Like absolutely. (She'll definitely tease your MC, though, sorry to say<3) Isla is the most flexible of the ROs in terms of personality 'cause she's very go-with-the-flow, so she might not even have a lock on her route. Still thinking about it, but as of right now, all you gotta do is not be mean to Valerie, and she'll be head over heels.

friends to lovers is soooo cute, and mutual pining is just so cute but SO infuriating to write (said affectionately) like ??? KISS ALREADY ???

thank you for the ask and your nice words!! i hope you have an incredible rest of your day/night!!!!!! 💗💗 i hope i didn't ramble too much, i went rollerskating and i'm like 😵 so if this doesn't make sense, i'll edit it later!!

[simpjaes]

omg NO i will for sure be coming back for part 2 pls ✋ u don’t get the chokehold ur fics have on me (i still think about frenzy jake every now and then like woah… u really did that.) i only said that as im mostly a silent reader & don’t send a lot of asks to authors but as mentioned before your fics are on a whole different level i could not help myself & had to just let smth out in ur inbox. but anywho !! i will for sure be back for part two in fact im really really excited for it :D cant wait to fight for my soul to not leave my body again & i hope u have a great day !!

i'm proud to be one of the authors you come out of your cocoon for <3 while i will always beg and encourage silent readers to be loud, imma just be selfish here and boast about you coming to when you it's not something you usually do :D

[the gift of jay]

[cleflink]

Howdy-hi! Your Santa again <3

I’m glad to hear you enjoy the trope, and I think I’ve finalized the overall story. I’m still in the process of working on it, but I can truthfully say that you can expect it between the 22-25th (hopefully sooner, depends on how long it’ll take me to edit). It’s been an absolute blast to work on and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I have writing it!

I suspect when I next come in contact with you, it’ll be through the reveal and the gifting of your present. Truly quite excited, this event has been so much fun, and I’m glad I participated, if only because I got to be introduced to you and your writing. I’ve been picking through Scion piece by piece, and my absolute joy when I saw how you wrote Shinichi, but most of all Kaito. I won’t lie, I ended up raving about it to my roommate, explaining only the beginning of the fic in what cohesive manner I could.

So if nothing more, you’ve gained a new reader delighted to find a great author.

And I think, if only to give more content, I would like to leave you with one last question: If you could watch a DCMK episode/movie for the first time again, what would it be?

Until we meet face to face, take care of yourself!!

–Your DCMK Secret Santa

Merry Christmas!

I've done this all in a backwards order, sorry about that! ^_^ But between covid, Christmas and finishing my own Santa fics, I've barely been on tumblr oops.

Your story was absolutely worth the wait, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed writing it because I very much enjoyed reading it! :) It's also been such a delight to get to chat with you this month and to flail over this fandom together.

Ahhh, I'm so glad that you liked Scion! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) I love these boys so much, so knowing that I'm writing them in a way that other people also resonate with means so so much.

Another great but challenging question - there are just so many great options to choose from! Hmmm... for movie, I'm torn between The Last Wizard of the Century and The Lost Ship in the Sky (yes, I'm aware my KID bias is showing, and I'm totally okay with that). Both of them are such fun to watch unfold, and they go in directions that I didn't expect, which would be fun to watch again for the first time. Also, there can never be enough KID shenanigans.

For the show/manga, I actually really loved the Scarlet Return arc. It had all the tension of main plot stuff ACTUALLY HAPPENING (how unusual!), and the way it unfolded was just so satisfying. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I enjoyed seeing Amuro get out-manoeuvred when he thought he was winning. What about you?

Thanks again, Silver! I look forward to getting to know you better moving forward. :D

[mila-uchiha]

Can you write prompt 12 with Itachi Uchiha?

Be Mine ☾ Itachi x fem!reader

prompt: “don’t go on that date” ,, “why?” ,, “you know why” ,, “then say it”

a/n: hi everyone! please keep requesting, i love writing for you all:) this is set where you and itachi both work in the anbu n the uchiha massacre didn't happen! enjoy! edit: obsessed with this one ahhh, all likes n reblogs r appreciated hehe ily

warnings: nsfw ish?, swearing, mentions of alcohol, not smut but suggestive content

word count: 2.9k... oops

Why does it have to be like this?

Living with Itachi was fine. As fine as it could be, living with your crush for the past few months. He treated you as a roommate and pretty much nothing more, although he could be over protective at random moments. Maybe it was just his instinct? Maybe he was a gentleman? Whatever the reason may be, it didn't matter because you had your eyes set on him since the first day you saw him in the ANBU.

You two were assigned to live together within the ANBU, making it more efficient for the squads, but despite your obvious excitement, Itachi seemed to not care. He would sometimes avoid you and he's usually never home, leaving you to wonder if there was any future for you two or if it was all in your head.

So why did it have to be like this?

You wanted more, so much more, but honestly, it hadn't been too bad recently. He's been home more and you two got to spend more time together than you usually do, but this wasn't necessarily a good thing. The more time you spent with him, the more you realized how much you wanted him, and from the way it seemed, he didn't want anything to do with you in a romantic way.

Until a few days ago. Stargazing outside with Itachi as he came home drunk, vulnerable, wanting to watch the night sky with you by his side as he held you. In this one moment you two had together, you felt the slightest bit of reciprocated feelings on his behalf. You recognized the overprotective personality he had with you, and in that moment, you wondered if he felt the same.

Until the next day, when he never mentioned that night again and you two were back to the same five word conversations that normally took place and were, most of the time, about takeaway you two would order for delivery or anything dinner related. Devastated was an understatement.

Now here you were, trying to move on and focus your time elsewhere. Or rather on a different person. When you began talking to Hiroto, another squad member in the ANBU, you realized that other men existed besides Itachi.

He invited you out with him tonight and after grasping the fact that you and Itachi had no future, all you could say was 'yes'. You were excited, ready for him to pick you up at 9PM. That is, until Itachi came home at 8PM, once again drunk out of his mind.

Itachi clearly had no control over his feelings when he was drunk. He slid open your bedroom door when he got home, obviously stumbling from the alcohol and stood there smirking at you, hiccuping the entire time.

"Can I help you?" You stared up at him, recognizing that he wasn't sober.

"Just wan-ted to tell you I'm home," he said, slurring his words.

Itachi never came to let you know he was home. Sometimes he would be in his room the whole day and you wouldn't even know. Other times he would be out for the whole day and you still wouldn't know. So why was he coming to you now?

"Alright?" You stared at him. "Why are you already drunk at 8PM??"

He slid your bedroom door closed and walked to sit at the foot of your bed, stumbling the entire time.

"So what? You should try it". He chuckled. Silence then filled the room as you looked at him, a confused and also concerning expression growing on your face. His eyes struggled to make eye contact, as they usually do, but you suddenly heard him take a deep breath, and the minute he did, his eyes raised up to meet yours,

"Wanna.. do something tonight?" He asked.

Yep, you were definitely surprised to hear those words come out of his mouth.

"Do what? As in hang out?"

"I mean.. I guess. If you want to." You knew Itachi was always pretty confident, but he was acting shy in this moment speaking to you. You kept your gaze on him as he waited for your reply, and right now you wanted way more answers than you were getting.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" You asked. "Maybe you should take a nap. Or a cold shower. That might help."

Your tone was slightly bitchy, because you couldn't wrap your head around the way Itachi acted sober vs drunk. He barely spoke to you, his own roommate, when he was sober, but suddenly he's had a few drinks and now he wants to do something tonight? Where was this interest before?

"Mmm maybe. It might help," he mocked your tone as he dropped his body weight to lie down on your bed, laughing in the process.

"I'm serious, Itachi. Besides, I have somewhere to go tonight."

He immediately looked up at you. "Where? Yo-u never go out." He slurred his words as he spoke. This took you by surprise. He spoke as if he knew you.

"How do you know that? Thought you didn't pay attention to me," you said, confused more than you had ever been.

"Trust me, I do."

By this point, you were slightly screaming on the inside from joy, but you would never let Itachi see it. He hiccuped once more, lay back down on the foot of your bed and began mumbling gibberish that you couldn't understand. Clearly he drank a lot. As much as you sort of hated him for barging into your room and almost falling asleep drunk on your bed, you knew you needed to help.

"C'mon Itachi, get up and go take a shower." You stood up, hovering over him.

"Mmmm, I don't want to," he groaned.

"It'll sober you up, you're too drunk," you said, although you liked the slight confessions from drunk Itachi and the way he looked at you like you were the best thing in the world.

"Okay, but can you h-help me?" He asked.

You agreed and got him to finally stand up, his arm around your shoulder, holding onto you for support as you both walked to the bathroom. You released his grip from you, turning on the shower and turning back to face him. He was leaning against the sink, watching you as if he was staring through your soul. His gaze was heavy, but so sensual at the same time.

"Go take a shower," you said as you began walking out the bathroom until his hand reached for your wrist, gripping it tightly and pulling you close to him.

"You have to help. I'm too drunk." His eyes continued staring at yours. You sighed.

"Help how?" You were curious. He gulped,

"Take this off." He said in a certain voice. A voice that was so commanding and low yet so beautiful at the same time. He nodded to his shirt and assumingely, the rest of his clothes, the loud shower head running in the back as he spoke.

You nodded right away and your hands reached for the bottom of his shirt, near his waistband as you slowly pulled it up, his arms lifting in the process. His abs were now fully on display as you stared at them. Your eyes trailed down to his v line, before you caught yourself, bringing your eyes back up to meet his. He had the slightest smirk on his face. Was he enjoying this?

"My pants too." There that voice was again. It was the kind of voice that could make you do anything, but did he really need all this help? Or was he just finding an excuse for you to undress him.

Once again, you sighed (not that you didn't enjoy this) and let your hands reach for the buckle of his belt as you slowly pulled his pants down, maintaining eye contact. God, you wanted him to kiss you so badly right now. You helped guide his pants off as he slipped his feet out and broke the silence,

"Guess this is the part where you turn away."

You chuckled. You figured this was where this would stop. As you turned away and heard him step into the shower, the shower curtain closing behind him, you heard his quick screams from the cold temperature of the water, making you laugh.

"Fuck, this is cold. I don't even want a shower, I want a warm bath." Another sigh escaped your mouth. God, he was picky. You heard him clog the drain and turn the water to fill it up for a bath.

"Okay, Itachi. I'm leaving now. Enjoy your bath, shower, whatever."

"No, please don't go." You saw him sitting in the tub as he slightly opened the shower curtain to face you. You were confused.

"You want me to stay? And do what exactly?" It was 8:15 and Hiroto was coming soon to pick you up.

"Please. Just stay. I need you." He suddenly seemed like he was on the verge of crying. Guess drunk Itachi had some serious mood swings. Despite his sudden mood change, you couldn't help but feel sorry for him, sitting in the half-filled tub as his eyes watered. Maybe he was drunk so early for a reason; trying to numb whatever was going on.

You walked closer, resting your hand on his as you stooped down, meeting his eye level. He took a deep breath before speaking,

"Y/n, can you... Um," he paused.

"What is it?" Your thumb was stroking his hand now without you even realizing.

"Can you.. get in?"

You blushed and your eyes widened.

"You want me to get in with you? And take a bath?" You asked. He nodded. The tub was almost full with bubbles from the soap, covering Itachi as he opened the shower curtain.

"You don't have to, I'm sor-"

You cut him off. "Turn around." He faced the opposite direction as you took off your clothes and submerged yourself in the bath, underneath the bubbles so you were completely covered.

"Is this good?" You asked. He turned to face you, a small smile forming on his face.

What the fuck was happening. You were sitting completely naked in a bathtub with Itachi right now. This was pretty much all you ever wanted and you couldn't believe it.

"Closer." He slurred, still clearly drunk and full of regret that wouldn't come until tomorrow morning. You could tell Itachi had no filter when he was drunk. Is this why he was making a move now? Your eyes widened even more as you scooted closer to him, moving through the bubbles to sit down right next to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm just really drunk and can't do anything right n-ow. Can you wash my hair?" He asked, his voice hoarse and tired.

'Really?' You thought in your head. This is what he asked you to get in the tub completely naked for? Or was he just coming up with an excuse?

You eyed him down as your eyebrows furrowed. He let his hair loose as he turned around, his back facing you and insisting you helped him. You sighed. You then grabbed the shower head and began rinsing his hair and then scrubbing it with shampoo.

As you sat there, both of you vulnerable and Itachi seemingly on the verge of crying, you realized how intimate the moment you two were sharing was. He sat in between your thighs as your inner thighs gripped the sides of his torso. His hands gripped your legs gently and your hands massaged his head with shampoo as you sensually touched his neck and behind his ear.

You scooted slightly closer to him, massaging his head with conditioner now, as you allowed your head to rest on his shoulder. He turned his head slightly to acknowledge your presence as he half-smiled, looking at you with awe. And that was the majority of the bath. You two just staring into each other's eyes as you helped him wash himself.

The rest of the night until your date with was Hiroto was very PG 13. Surprisingly. Itachi was actually too drunk to make any sudden movements onto you although he wanted to. When he gets drunk, he gets real with his emotions and the way he feels towards people. You didn't know this yet, though. After the bath you both closed your eyes when you were hopping out, went to get dressed and departed into your separate rooms.

You changed quickly, getting ready for your date, but the entire time, you couldn't process the events of tonight and the fact that you wanted to stay here with Itachi taking care of him. As you got ready to leave, you decided to stop by his room and make sure he was okay. This wasn't a usual thing, because as said before, you two never told each other when you were going or when you came home.

Still, you felt the need to tell him. As you walked in, Itachi was sitting on the bed in nothing but grey sweatpants. You stared at his crotch before quickly pulling your eyes away to meet his, noticing that he was more sober than before. Still, very tired.

"Are you okay?" You asked.

He nodded, smiling which caused you to blush after remembering the intimate moment you two just had. And now, you had to let him know you were about to leave to go on a date.

Usually you'd be glad to try and make him jealous, but something felt different tonight. You actually felt like Itachi maybe liked you and was too nervous to say anything. So yeah, you didn't feel to tell him goodbye, but it had to happen anyway.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I don't usually get that sappy when I'm drunk." He chuckled slightly, clearly showing he was sort of embarrassed from his emotions spilling out.

"Don't worry. I'm always here for you," you replied. He gazed up to look at you and your eyes widened. You meant that you were always here as in here in the house if he needed help. But the way it came out seemed like you were there for him emotionally, which wasn't entirely wrong. It just showcased your feelings a bit too much.

But who cared anyways, you two had just taken a bath together and you were clearly not on the same terms you normally were. Now this was something more.

"Well,," awkward silence overcame both of you after your comment. "I'm leaving now."

He sighed. "It's a date right? That's where you're going?"

You hadn't told him where you were going but clearly, he could tell by your vague explanation. You nodded slowly. He sighed again.

"I'm sorry. Bye, Itachi." You began walking out the door.

"Y/n wait!"

You looked behind you to see Itachi stood up walking towards you, blushing as he maintained eye contact.

"Don't go on that date."

"Why?" You were confused but hopeful that he was about to confess something to you.

"You know why."

What? Was he serious? After all of this, asking you to bathe with him, asking you to wash his hair and being completely intimate with you, this was all he could say? You needed more.

"Then say it."

His gaze dropped to the floor as he now struggled to maintain eye contact. You realized nothing else was coming out of his mouth and you scoffed, embarrassed for believing that he might actually care.

"Fine. Goodbye, Itachi."

You began walking out of his room when suddenly his hand grabbed your wrist, pulling you close to him, your chest pressing against his. He leaned close and whispered in your ear,

"I don't.. want to say it. But I can show you?" His voice was hoarse as it tickled your neck. You nodded. I mean, what else would you do? Say no? Obviously not.

He moved to meet you eye to eye, staring at your lips as he slowly leaned in, his breath shaking. His lips touched yours, gently and slowly kissing you in small pecks, before he parted his lips and let his tongue swirl into yours. He pulled away, resting his forehead on yours and you broke the silence,

"So this is why you want me to stay?"

He nodded, but you were suspicious. You lifted your forehead from his.

"So if you liked me then why do you always avoid me when we literally live together?" You asked. He intertwined his fingers with yours.

"Because, y/n, believe it or not I'm actually very shy. Just have a hard time saying things. And you make me nervous. Not when I'm drunk though... That's probably why I'm being so forward tonight." You chuckled at what he said. It was almost perfect, seeing him vulnerable like this while under your touch, your hands on his shoulders as he held your cheeks.

"Stay. Please." There was that commanding voice again. The voice that would pretty much make you do anything. You stared at him, contemplating whether to stay or not.

"I'm still sort of drunk, and I just want to fall asleep next to you. Please." He paused. "Be mine and stay."

This request excited you. 'Be mine and stay'. It made you want to ditch whatever that guy's name was (because at this point you couldn't think of anything but Itachi and his face) and stay here with him, wrapped in his arms for the rest of the night under his covers.

And so you stayed.

Hi!! I know it feels like a lot of pressure, but really truly, your readers won't mind if you take your time between writing chapters, whether you're editing or planning or literally just chilling out! We LOVE Visions, but what's most important is that you're having fun writing and sharing it!! So please take your time and enjoy the process, and try not to stress too much, if you can? We (your readers) will always be here, and we'll LOVE anything you decide to share, anytime!!

Ahhh I'm tearing up because this was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Are you reading my mind? I was literally JUST mentioning to a friend that the chapter is shorter than I wanted it to be.

Also, I am enjoying writing it! And I really do hope people love this chapter, though I know the most important thing is that I'm happy with it. I will try to stress less over it.

And don't worry! It's not short because I'm rushing it, it's short because I wanted it to end on a specific beat, and I actually thought ahead and planned out what some of the next chapters will be, following this one. But! I'm editing right now, so it might end up a bit chunkier after I'm done wrestling with it. I'm still keeping you all in mind, and I know you've been enjoying it so far, so I can say that you're in for a treat with this one! Very excited to see people react to what I've come up with!!

I've also got a confidant helping me now, so I know at least one other person thinks it's great :D

I appreciate someone worrying about me, it does mean a lot that you guys are supporting me no matter what!

[atalienart]

hi!! i've been writing for 12 years now!! i think my biggest breakthrough was simply realising that it's okay to just... write. for years i've been stuck with one story because i had to write it perfectly and i started to become desperate and tired of writing. so, i stepped back for almost two years and let my mind wander over other ideas. and then one day i just thought what the hell, i might as well write strictly for fun and not strive for perfection!! since then, i wrote five whole books (that i absolutely adore. i had fun with them first and only when they were done did i go back to edit them 'seriously') and now im writing my sixth!! so my advice would be - it's good to realise that first drafts can be written just for fun! the only thing that a first draft needs to do is exist :) oh and also, it's good to sometimes take a little break from your story and do other things like reading, drawing or simply writing something else, so you can start missing the story and remember how much you love it!!

Ahhh, congratulations! Yes, being excited to just write and create a story you enjoy is an amazing thing. I'm still really happy I didn't lose interest in my story and it still excites me whenever I think about it. I really hope it won't stop until it's done. And definitely, breaks are a must, I don't force myself to write when I really don't feel like it because I have my experience with drawing. Doing something just for yourself heals. And I don't expect perfection from myself, at this point I still discover things, check what works and what doesn't, it's my first story after all. I let myself finish what I've started and see if there's some way I can improve it and make it work to my satisfaction :) Anyway, thank you for the words of wisdom and best of luck (and fun) with your sixth book. That's honestly so impressive! :D

Serotonin Booster :D🐉

How to train your dragon edition

Here are some things I had forgotten or little details I just noticed on my rewatch, maybe even Unpopular Opinions 🤭👀

✨Race to the Edge✨

SEASON 1

IM ABT TO START RTTE AHHH IM EXCITED THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE

"This changes everything"

They're so old now 🥺

JAHSHAHAJAJ Tuff and Snotlout's face whenever Johan actually went straight to the point

"wAtCh iT tOoThLeSs" JAHSHAHA ep1 min 18:50 ->

I love the way Hiccup screams Astrid's name whenever she's in danger like she's the most important thing in his world🥺

The Snow Wraith - can see a body's heat

YA Astrid is freaking gorgeous 🤩

GOTHI IS WILD SHE REALLY STARTED HITTING THE DRAGON WITH HER STAFF AHZHHSBS

DUDE HICCUP REALLY MADE TOOTHLESS STAND UP WHEN- when my poor baby had already layed down in his freshly heated bed 🥺

The way Stoick supported Hiccup's decision of going out of the Archipelago to search for new dragons🥺

"Blah bla blah why do you have to make a production out of everything?"

"INTO THE GREAT BEYOND!"

"nothing that's worth anything comes easy"

I love how they can be so inspirational and funny and stupid and more all at the same time JAHDHSJAJ

I love the lil hiccstrid moments even just them sitting together and chilling and talking just to enjoy each other's company- I can't I'm sorry 🥴😭🥰🥺

Deathsong - it's roar attracts dragons

I love how Hiccup's talking to the thunderdrum like it can understand OR EVEN LISTEN TO HIM

Thunderdrums are hard of hearing and they tend to hold grudges

THE HAND THING!!!

Astrid was the one that came up with having their own island so they wouldn't be traveling back and forth to Berk

TUFF JUST FOUND CHICKEN!!!

I just realized that we do know all of the gang's last names

Hiccup Haddock

Astrid Hofferson

Tuffnut and Ruffnut Thorston

Fishlegs Ingerman

Snotlout Jorgenson

Smidvarg and the night terrors🥺

When Hiccup came up with the outpost being all of the ideas combined and said it'd be named the "dragon's edge" I YELLED 🤣🤩

NONONO AND WHEN THE NIGHTERRORS- whenever they surrounded Toothless and then formed a giant version of Him AND HE GOT SO HAPPY AND EXCITED 🥺🥺🥺

Fishlegs: *while clearly having an allergic reaction* I don't see what the big deal is. Everybody sneezes and scratches sometimes

Tuffnut: *without even thinking about it* Not like a honey-covered yak on an anthill

Hiccup:

Snotlout:

Fishlegs:

I love how Gothi had Fishlegs eat spiced yak bladder just to get revenge for him breaking his staff😂😂

Meatlug loves Stoick🥺

The way Fishlegs came back just bc Meatlug was in danger 🥺

Fishleg is allergic to Gobber's earwax

I don't like teenager Gustav, baby Gustav was cuter

The way Gustav has a crush on Astrid and Fanghook on stormfly

Fanghook>>>

I love how Hiccup can just read Astrid and tell when she's upset or doesn't like something like in ep6 he's going alone to save Gustav from Dagur and she's worried and he can tell just by looking at her and so he's like "I'll be careful, I promise" I LOVE THEM OK?! THESE LIL THINGS I-

I love Fanghook and Gustav's relationship

Oh shoot I completely forgot that the twins originally owned the edge bc of their uncle Magmar

Ep7 Reign of Fiereworms is hilarious

The way Toothless choked on his Plasma Blast🥺

Gobber's first love was named Greta

The Rumblehorn is amazing, tracker class dragon, skull-crusher 🤩

Razorwhip - Has the slashing attack of a Speedstinger and the strength of a Typhoomerang, Sharp class, long, spiny, barbed tail, very aggressive and dangerous, can wrap it's tail around the victim and squeeze the life out of it, poisonous tears, its breath can burn the flesh off a human from a 100 ft away

HEATHER‼️🤩

I love Heather and Hiccup's friendship sm! I remember when I first watched this I was extremely concerned that they... weren't just friends

No but Heather and Astrid ✋🏼🤩 the way they got so close in that little time and how Astrid was so sad whenever she was leaving again🥺 I can't-

"The chicken is not amused"

I love Toothless's laugh🥺😂

THE HAND THING AGAIN😭🥺 hiccup and a Speedstinger

Love how the Speedstingers adapted, they evolved, so now they have webbing on his claws to island hop

How do y'all think they can tell whenever a dragon is a Titanwing dragon? Is it just bc of their size?

I love how despite Astrid and Snotlout's relationship not being the best, she still didn't want him to leave the dragon riders and she still wanted to help him and Hookfang fight the Titanwing

Kinda pissed that we didn't get to see the baby monstrous nightmares🥺

DONE WITH SEASON 1, I think imma do one of these for each season so it doesn't get extremely long

[ppangjae]

Hi new fan here! I have seen there is a new book about hanyu yuzuru that has came out. How many books are there about him? What are the difference between them and What's your recommendations? I'm planning to buy them on amazon so i wanted your opinion. Hope it's not too much to ask for. I love your blog 💖

Hi there, yes there’s been a boom of Yuzu-related books and contents recently so I totally understand that it can be confusing. 

[alert: everything below this line is purely my opinion and can be biased]

He has 3 autobiographies so far: Aoi Hono 1 (2012), Aoi Hono 2 (2016) and「夢を生きる」(’Living the Dream’) (2018) which was just out yesterday (I think this one also counts as autobiography). A sport journalist wrote a biography of Yuzu called ‘Yuzuru’s Method’. All four of them come with pretty photos of Yuzuru. @yuzusorbet made an amazing post with introduction and snippets of Aoi Hono 1, Aoi Hono 2, Yuzuru’s Method here, I found it very helpful when I was a new fan too. 

I’ve finished the two Aoi Hono books, I have a copy of Yuzuru’s Method but haven’t finished it. imo, the structure of these 3 books are kinda the same, but Aoi Hono-s provide more details (2 books vs 1) and they are mostly Yuzuru’s answers and perception of how things happened in his life in a chronological order, while Yuzuru’s Method focuses more on the concept of ‘What made Yuzuru become a champion?’ and the journalist puts an emphasis on how he evolved each season (each chapter is about one of his senior season). Personally, I also like the two Aoi Hono the best out of all Yuzu books not only because they tell the story of Yuzuru’s life and his thoughts in great details but also because the royalties are donated to Ice Rink Sendai where he trained for so many years.

[update: for those who don’t understand Japanese, nonchan translated Aoi Hono 1 and you can ask her for it if you have the book, I’m translating Aoi Hono 2 so it’ll be ready some time soon, you can have it if you have a copy of the book.]

I haven’t had a chance to read「夢を生きる」yet, but I’ve seen several reviews about it from Japanese fans.  It covers 2015-2018 with interviews from Ice Jewels and interviews done specifically for this book. I’m quite sad that it doesn’t mention Pyeongchang at all (probably too close to printing date), but I heard that there are pretty photos in the book (they even have photos of him wearing hakama in there, the blue one from 2015 :>). I’m definitely gonna get myself a copy of it this month. 

Yuzuru also published a Quote collection book and a Photobook under his name a while ago. @kaerb has been translating some of the quotes from the former book (quote + context) so you can take a look here.

Yuzuru has been mentioned in quite a few books, I don’t think I know all of them. But a lot of fans buy Team Brian 1 (2014) & Team Brian 2 (2017). I don’t have them yet so I’m not sure about how the books really are. But they definitely emphasize on Team Brian, Brian’s relationship with Yuna, Yuzu, Javi more than just Yuzu, so that’s something to keep in mind. The reception of the first book is very good, but doesn’t seem to be the case for the second one. Again, I haven’t read them so I can’t confirm how good/bad they are, but I do plan to get at least the first one and see.

If you also want to read more on Japanese figure skating and Yuzuru’s role in it, then there are two books that were just released a few months ago. One is called「日本フィギュアスケート 金メダルへの挑戦」(The Road to Olympic Gold) (2018), written by Noriko Shirota, mentions how Japanese figure skating evolved from Midori Ito, Arakawa, Mao,…. to Yuzuru. I don’t know much about this one but the reviews seem good. The other one is「羽生結弦は助走をしない」(2017). This is written on the same topic, with the emphasis on Yuzuru and takes other skaters in his generation into consideration more than the first one. Also, this is written by a figure skating enthusiast and strives to explain figure skating itself and why these skaters are great to those who are not fans or not familiar with skating. I’ve only started reading this recently, but I really like the casual voice of this author and how the book approaches skating quite logically and easy to understand. On the other hand, this one doesn’t come with any photos, it’s all plain text with a pretty Seimei-styled cover, just in case you’re wondering.

Several people have asked me about this recently-released book called 英語で読む羽生結弦 (Reading about Hanyu Yuzuru in English) (2018). This is a bi-lingual English-Japanese biography of Yuzuru. I was very excited about this book at first. I only got the chance to take a brief look at it at the bookstore, but my impression was that it’s kinda similar to Aoi Hono, like a shortened version, with explanations of figure skating terms and also a list of his achievements. Friends and Japanese fans reviewed that the English translation was not really good and the book explained some of the skating terms incorrectly, so I wouldn’t really recommend this book tbh.

Ahhh, it’s become a long answer again :))) I hope I didn’t miss any good books. If I did or if others recommend to add some more good titles, I will edit the original post. I’m aware that Yuzu did a lot of interviews on Ice Jewels and mooks (don’t know if you’re interested in them or not) but I don’t have any knowledge on magazine-related or mook-related contents so I can’t really recommend anything :”>

FYI: Since you ask about buying books, I’m assuming that you’re quite comfortable reading Japanese texts. But even if you don’t, it’s still a good opportunity to practice. I never had enough motivation to read books in Japanese until I started with Aoi Hono tbh XD So if anyone wants to challenge yourself reading this and is curious how hard the text is, you can DM me and I’ll send you a scan of the first 2-3 pages so you can estimate before buying. I have 4 books so far and the scale of difficulty for me is:

羽生結弦は助走をしない 

Anw, have fun and enjoy reading :D Just ask if you have any other questions :>

[kyunsies]

hello mädch <333 i hope you're able to finish your assignment tonight!! i went to an orientation event today - it was some outdoor dinner thingy and i talked to a few people there and met some new friends :)) i think that today (as a whole) was a lot better mostly cause i spent a good portion of it out of my dorm. even though it's only the first week i've started to get used to being on my own, and i've felt better now compared to when i woke up this morning. slight change of subject but i wrote down almost all my due dates down and i'm honestly freaking out over how much overlap there is :'(( guess that's university for me god i hope i survive

you are soo right abt the bf vibes being immaculate,,, i just think that when mx dress causally,,, <333 they look v comfy when they do so :)) and i love seeing your gifs of changkyun @ midnight idol ;___; to end off i found an edit of him wearing the flannel that i think you might like :) im sending this really late so i hope you slept well! 🌙 - 🌱
