#SRY FOR RAMBLING LOL

[gunmetal-ring]

Eddie isn't a coward. He ran because he just saw something horrible and he didn't think anyone would believe him. He didn't need a redemption arc because there was nothing to redeem and I wish people would stop saying this

Anon, im gonna respectfully disagree. He was a coward. Just because his cowardice was understandable - id wager the vast majority of ppl wouldve done the same thing in his position - doesnt make it any less cowardly. Hes an imperfect character. Hes flawed. He overcomes his flaws. The fact that were even having this conversation is proof that hes a complex, well-written character.

If he were brave he would have called the police and reported that a girl was just tortured and murdered in front of him even tho they probably wouldnt believe him. Who knows maybe it wouldve gotten the government involved and everything and he probably wouldnt havr been held responsible for fred and patricks death who knows

But the first person his cowardice hurt was wayne. Imagine coming home from a shift and the first thing you see is chrissys broken body. Didnt one of the cops puke in the bushes or somrthing? It was awful and by running eddie made wayne experience one of the worst things of his life im sure.

Brave ppl dive headfirst into danger at the risk of their own lives and sanity even if most ppl wouldnt do it - thats the point thats why bravery is so commendable. If everyone was brave in these kinds of scenarios it wouldnt be important.

I could write a whole essay on this but ill spare you and my followers lol. But also anon keep in mind like this is my opinion. Im not The Arbiter Of Character Assessment For Stranger Things. You can disagree. But fwiw and again i say this respectfully i simply will not change my mind. I appreciate your point of view and if you want to have a discussion about this fine but im telling you rn that ive read the posts about this and ive read the replies to my posts and im just not convinced. But ty for popping into my inbox i always like to see a little message notification! Its fun!

im sorry i know i should be writing reqs but i just can’t stop thinking about slightly creepy office au coworker dottore...... im horn

you have a boring 9-5 job, trying to find joy in the mundane, else you go crazy. waking up to birds chirping outside of your bedroom window, the tasty to-go coffee and breakfast sandwich you always get in the morning, and your coworker greeting your still-sleepy self when you step into the office. always one to gossip, she’d motion for you to hurry up and sit at your cubicle so she can gush about whatever rumor was currently roaming the building. 

“have you seen zandik lately? his temper is worse than usual! think he just got broken up with or something? honestly, i see why his partner would call things off, it seems like he’s always prioritizing work over people...” you take a long sip of your coffee, relishing in the newfound energy that flooded your system. it takes you a minute to process your coworker’s claim. 

“how do you know he was even in a relationship in the first place?” you ask, scoffing in amusement at how fast her brain seemed to work; it was almost impressive, really. “well, he’s handsome, for one. and he’s loaded! i don’t understand how he can afford such a nice car with a salary like ours,” she sulks as she finishes her rambling. you take the opportunity to finish your food, setting your half-empty cup down to start prepping your workspace. 

“inheritance? or he’s crazy good at managing money,” you suggest. just as you thought your coworker was about to drop the topic, she perks up and slams her hand on her desk a tad bit too loudly. “oh! or maybe he works a second job? y’know, the cost of living is getting pretty high, so maybe he has a 5-9 on top of working here!” 

someone shoots her a look that says “it’s still early, lower your voice”, and she grins at them awkwardly before turning to look at you with a smile that rivals someone that just uncovered the cure to a deadly disease. 

you pause your typing, fingertips resting idly on the mechanical keyboard. “why do you care about what he’s up to, anyways? usually you avoid talking about zandik or any of the higher-ups because you know they’ll probably get us in trouble,” you point out, your shoulder getting hit as soon as the words leave your mouth. giggling lightly at how dramatic her reaction was, you turn your attention from your computer to your coworker. you’re met with a petrified expression and uncomfortable body language along with the lack of natural light behind you. 

“and why, pray tell, are we gossiping about my foul mood?” someone says from behind you, though you could recognize its owner anywhere. your blood runs cold— the warmth from your morning coffee having vanished from your body, not a single trace left in the presence of the office’s most intimidating employee (arguably). your coworker flashes him a wide, albeit shaky smile, and shakes her head a bit too quickly for it to be considered normal. 

“n-not gossiping! we’re just concerned for your health! right?” she says your name, nudging your foot from underneath the desk. you don’t have time to decide whether you want to detach yourself from your predicament or to go along with her bullshit because zandik bends down to your level, flashing a smile that doesn’t quite reach his dull eyes as he speaks for you. “then avoid spreading rumors about my personal life, it gives me a headache,” he murmurs quietly.  

you’d catch the unspoken threat in his voice if you weren’t so flustered. he was so close you could smell his cologne— musky sandalwood that made your head spin, losing whatever train of thought you had just seconds ago. “s-sorry,” you’re the one that apologizes since your coworker was frozen in fear, looking more like a deer facing headlights than an office worker. 

zandik’s lips stretch wider, vermillion eyes narrowing at her before flickering over to you. you immediately look away, suddenly now noticing the sheer lack of space between you two. if what you were doing before was unprofessional, then this was beating it by a landslide. although you couldn't help but wish that he bent down to your level more often. though, at the same time, he looked good looking down at you…

he stays like this for a few more uncomfortable seconds before straightening his back and walking away, no words spoken between the three of you. your coworker exhales a breath she had been holding in, and turns to face her desk in silence. 

you're left with a rapidly beating heart and the need to take a bathroom break even though you just clocked in not even ten minutes ago.

Hi 👋🏽 I’ll be going on an indefinite break that may (or may not) be for good.

Writing fanfiction was an escape for me these past 2 years. It was a way to express my love for the tannies in how I wrote them as comfort characters, and it was a way for me to make sense of my own experiences and emotions. These fics have always been very personal, with a bit of me in every OC, my pains reflected in their stories, and words I wish someone told me growing up expressed in the dialogues. And I’ll always be so thankful that many of you related with them, found meaning in them, and found comfort in them. That will always be my favorite part 💜💜 stories are so powerful! They’ve allowed me to connect with so many people and make memories in this (mostly) lovely part of the site.

But the process of writing has also been draining, not as cathartic as it used to be, and not as fulfilling. So much as I find myself going back and forth with the numerous stories in my drafts, I can’t bring myself to continue with them. Not anytime soon, at least. Maybe one day the itch to write will be so intense, or JJK1/KTH1 drops and I’ll lose my shit (Untitled and Belong were born out of Indigo and D-day after all), or after rereading my stories, I’ll miss writing so much. The thing is, I’ve never loved BTS as much as I do right now; perhaps I’m content with screaming about that love to myself in the meantime.

I’ll be lurking around here, maybe pop in every once in a while (so plagiarists, keep off my work, pls). My stories will remain here as your comfort 😌 and I’ll do my best to put out the PLM drabbles I promised! Other than that, all the stories are complete for you to enjoy (sorry to those waiting on TLA 😔 I hate that I’m unable to continue). I also have Twitter (jmimi_mi). I’m also just a lurker but say hi if you want! 😊 we can talk bts and fics and whatnot over there (I’ll try, I promise).

Please give love to the authors who are still lovingly putting out work for the community! 🥰

Mourynn, my GW2 OC's bio page! This is just meant to be a simplified breakdown of her character where I will branch out (lol) to all the other aspects in detail in their own separate posts/drawings. I just wanted her bio to me more visual instead of all just text, and I also included some inspirations with a little background info to fill in some blanks (which will be expanded upon later as well). to note: - she does, for the most part, follow the canonical Commander storyline, except not EVERY part and with not the same exact personality of the in game player character either (tbh I don't think anyone's Commander OCs do so I suppose this is obvious lol) - allowing her to still play the Commander role (to a slightly lesser degree but still just enough) allows me to integrate her into all areas of Tyria, and with a more diverse set of experiences and characters to interact with and keep her involved in the major storyline (ESPECIALLY with the Elder Dragon storyline. I'm going to have lots of fun with those interactions and experiences) - this also opens more doors for giving her unique experiences in these different zones with different characters that don't happen in game (since it's easier for me to work with an existing storyline instead fo fully creating a new one. Uses up less of my brain battery) - this also allows me to poke fun at some things in game with Mourynn in character bc I have SO many things saved up that are highly amusing to me and this way I can use a bunch of my saved screenshots to my potential. - I'm also taking advantage of a bunch of plot holes and other spans of time (such as the Firstborn Era before the Secondborn came about) Her dragon form will have it's own page (with inspirations) since there is lots I still need to design and showcase, and I wanted it to have it's own separate focus! Everything will make more sense once it's all done (such as explaining how a firstborn and scion(?) are to exist at the same time, I have a fun way to which I wanna explain it once I'm done the dragon bio page). I'll also have a separate breakdown of her Elite spec and showing/explaining what it does and how it works bc it was a lot of fun to create.

Anyways this is a VERY self indulgent OC, and since I only ever make one OC (since they're almost always a self-insert to some degree with me), she's going to be very spoiled and will allow me to give her lots of attention and have fun with all the dynamics. I also can't mentally handle more than one OC bc that is WAY too overwhelming for me lol.

I have another one of these in the works, but it's taking FOREVER to finish so I'm just going to post this one.

Here's Apollo's family tree on his mother's side! We always talk about the Olympians, so I thought it would be interesting to look in the other half of the family. Here is everyone listed from top to bottom, left to right.

Coios: Titan of Intellect, and overseer of Heavenly Prophecy.

Phoibe: Titaness of Intellect, and overseer of Earthly Prophecy.

Perses: Titan of Destruction.

Asteria: Titaness of Shooting Stars and Nighttime Divination.

Lelantos: Titan of Air and moving unseen.

Leto: Titaness of Motherhood and Demureness.

Zeus: God of Storms, Justice, and King of Olympus.

Hekate: Goddess of Witchcraft, Magic, and Ghosts

Aura: Goddess of the Breeze and hunting partner of Artemis.

Apollo: God of the Sun, Music, Poetry, etc.

Artemis: Goddess of the Moon, the Hunt, and Archery.

Extra note: While researching to make sure I got this right, I found this little note that makes me giggle and kick my feet bc I have so many ideas surrounding it. LIke maybe a fic I don't know maybe probably that could be it but idk hahahahaha.

Clearly Coios functioned as the prophetic voice of his father Heaven, just as Phoibe was the prophetic voice of her mother Earth. Like Delphoi, navel of the earth, the axis of heaven was also guarded by a Drakon: the constellation Draco.

His grandson, Apollon the god of prophecy and light, divided his time between Delphoi, the shrine at the centre of earth previously held by Coios' wife Phoibe, and--during the winter months--Hyperborea, the land beneath the axis of heaven in the far north, represented by his grandfather Coios.

We never even touched heavenly prophecy in ToA. I wonder what that's all about hmmmmm???

adhd sans is such a relatable character, seeing as i have my own issues. i seriously struggle with stuff similar to his problems so it feels comforting knowing there's a skeleton just like me and a lot of other people

yes omg

i love Duck sm. projecting heavily onto this boi, especially with the comic.

fkn. sorry, i hope you don't mind me using your ask as an excuse to ramble abt my neurodivergent ass. you don't have to read this.

ramblings bordering on venting, but mostly jus cus i wanna talk abt my disorders more, but not in a venty way, but hhhh.. under read more:

ADHD is such a struggle, especially the executive dysfunctioning. ppl would assume that the Tourette's is the more crippling of the disorders i have, jus bc it's more physical and more like. known for being disabling(?) but at least in my case it's nothing compared to my ADHD symptoms.

the most my Tourette's does usually is bruise my wrist or make me have to stop what i'm doing (like literally just now stopping writing to snap my fingers and clap several times lmao hkgvhc) for a moment to tic.

but my executive dysfunction stops me from doing just about anything. chores, basic hygiene, important life shit, even eating and hydrating.

and my dissociating does the same thing as my tics, making me stop what i'm doing sometimes. or it'll make me have to like.. slow down and not able to look at what i'm doing while my vision is unfocused and i stare off into space or at whatever's directly in front of me lol.

the sensory problems also. sometimes i can't walk around in certain cloths bc the texture is too much. it feels like sand paper. (there's more i could say abt the sensory problems, but i need to stop rambling skdbvjsdvk)

anyways, yeah. so fkn grateful for adhd sans, bc now i have a character to pour all these problems into lmao.

hi karim, voice of simon fairchild. are you gonna tell me about a podcast

[6irlpet]

i think it would be hot to see u like. get pushed to ur limits until u find something that doesnt turn u on or that ur unsure about, and then watch ur Domme inflict that on u over and over until ur fully into it

i also think it’s hot even tho it’s SCARY!!!! and scary to talk about bc i plan on giving my future dom this blog as a user guide on how to fuck with me so im somewhat hesitant to lay out certain tips but 🥴 yeah. i have two specific limits in mind that i think would be extremely hot to have done to me regardless of my comfort + be conditioned into liking. pushing my limits as “training” is so aaaaaahhhh. it’s hot and scary and it being scary makes it hotter unfortunately 🫠 i actually just edged last night thinking about being conditioned and trained into liking some of my limits asgsjdbajdbkdd

i don’t even think it would be that hard bc i’ve trained myself to be very easily conditionable??? once upon a time i couldnt be hypnotized even tho i desperately wanted to and then after sooo much effort and training i can now trance easily even just by myself by imagining being spoken down to. that jst made everything easier and more trainable especially with denial. examples: i didnt used to care ab giving head then trained myself into an oral fixation. didnt like idea of denial then ended up getting to a place where im disappointed if i cum. didnt used to like piss and also got into that for humiliation. didnt like idea of anal then denial made me love being plugged and love idea of anal-only as punishment. used to be turned off by mommy/daddy terms and cgl aesthetics now its all i wanna call a dom and i love being made to feel helpless and treated like a little girl to humiliate me. and the more aroused/longer denied i am the more extreme treatment i crave. i think i could be conditioned easily into a Lot of extreme things and limits with a patient mix of denial + hypno + use of the fact that it turns me on to endure unpleasant or embarrassing or painful things for dom’s amusement 🫠

it wouldnt be that hard and i would honestly be turned on by being pushed to limits and struggling. i’d love to try and endure my limits just to amuse/please someone. the idea of my suffering turning someone on is what turns ME on in a sick twisted cycle, i absolutely want my limits pushed and to be conditioned into liking things that i dont, just to have my head fucked with for dom’s amusement….. it IS very hot!!!! i want control over my wardrobe and orgasms and daily tasks/maintenance and especially control over my Mind which includes how i think/feel!!!!

i dont plan on ever deleting this blog lol, so if i end up in a trusted dynamic where i get trained and brainwashed and conditioned & get to suffer for someone’s amusement and training regimen ill absolutely be liveblogging the progress 🫶 im scared to say this and manifest it but i’ve already mused this long so — hopefully it happens + they see this ask someday and use my own words against me!!! they can tell me i asked for it when they inflict those things on me over and over 💘💘💘

[aeide-thea]

so i was like 'i could swear i didn't feel this hideously dysphoric last summer, wtf is my dealio lately!!' and finally it occurred to me, 'okay, fine, let's maybe try putting on one of the ribbed men's tanks i wore religiously all last summer instead of the women's technical tops i've been wearing lately, and see what effect that has,' and. yeah. fuck. 🤦

it really is like. every! damn! season! i get seduced into thinking maybe i can wear just a little bit of reasonably-unfeminine women's clothing, and the idea is appealing because i'm actually comfortably encompassed by that size range, whereas with men's shirts i often ideally would wear an XS but can't get one—and yes, boys' stuff exists and i do ever wear it, but sometimes you're in the market for stuff that's slightly higher spec than anyone bothers to make for kids, you know? but anyway it's just so reliably the case that like. every fucking time i'm like, okay, sure, let's try a little womenswear, it turns out that i can bear it for a little while and then i realize something about it is making me fucking crazyyyyyy. >:|

sux bc the problematic batch of tanktops is like. such a good light comfortable wicking all-natural fabric! that's why i wanted them and they're everything i hoped they would be! and they're genuinely not even overtly feminine! but the straps are just a little too narrow and the cut is just a little too )ᓑ( and it's like. in some contexts those things are bearable, but in others they're really just. Bad, it turns out. :(

anyway they are sufficiently slouchy that in theory i could probably just, like, do some aftermarket alterations to improve the shape??? like i think i really just need them to be, you know, simple tubes straight up and down and not the vaguely /ᓑ\ shape they currently are, which in theory ought to be simple enough to achieve (especially since they're also a little long, so i could just hem them straight and stop worrying about how to factor in the vaguely high-low thing that's also happening). however. probably NOT realistic to do by hand (like. if nothing else i just don't have the patience) and while there is a sewing machine kicking around here somewhere i absolutely don't remember how to use it and do live in fear of it (i just have like. vague recollections of various Mysterious Snarls back in the day). so. idk. blergh, argh, etc.

(i assume 4p would just be like 'try it! learn as you go!' and like. honestly that's fair and maybe i even will, i think the manual is also kicking around actually, but. would prefer to have it magically sorted. :/ like, sometimes you just want a wardrobe and not a project, you know??)

[weirdcatbean]

Ok ok ok I'mma just infodump some ninjago element headcanons because I can't stop thinking about it and my mind decided to run with figuring out how all the elements work. All of this is just me taking plot points, running away with them, and shoving 50 different headcanons in there lol. Pretty long post warning, rambles below the cut

So -- We start of with the 'Origin Elements' also kinda known as 'Elemental Essenses' because they're the elements that make up all of the rest of the elements: Creation (Dragon-shifted), Destruction (Oni-shifted) and Balance/Green/Energy/whatever tf you call Lloyd's element. Now these 3 are the basis of all of the rest of the elements in the show, and it all started w/ the source dragons and the sorce oni or whatever the oni equivalent are. So there are 7 source dragon, and 5 of them were like hey, I don't wanna be like other girls imma make my own element and made the first 5 primary elements: Fire, Ice, Earth, Water, and Storm. One of the source dragons was fine with being like the other girls and stuck w/ creation n one was like yo... oni are kinda hot n made the element of balance and the FSM w one of the source oni. So that's how the FSM got balance, and then there is Firstborne who got the elements of Ice, Fire, and Earth, and Firstborne's younger sister, Wojira, who got the elements of Storm and Water.

Now during the war btw Oni and Dragons Firstborne was all in on it, FSM was like why am i so special just leave me alone and Wojira was like fuck this im out and Wojira runs off to ninjago. While in ninjago, Wojira gets corrupted somehow and turns evil? idk how tho maybe some oni maybe bc i said so. So that's how the FSM finds Wojira when they end up running off to Ninjago too. Then FSM n Nyad beat Wojira up n FSM sees the corruption that's been put on the elements of Water n Storm and is like woah that's not good n immediately tells the source dragons what happened. The water source dragon looks at the element of water n goes well, it found a master so ig it's not that corrupted we good. On the other hand, the storm source dragon takes one look at the element of storm n is like WOAHHH NOT GOOD n decided, hey, I could maybe split this element into two elements n then insead of one element with 98% corruption it'll be two elements with 49% each n i can handle that so that's what they did. Then the FSM is like hey, ik im already taking Ice, Earth, n Fire to make a landmass here but can I take lightning too? Pretty please? Then the source dragons give the lightning to the FSM and also give lightning, wind, and water Firstborne.

So that gives us the first 6 primary elements, Ice, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Water, and Wind; with Ice, Fire, and Earth being elements of creation/FSM, Water and Wind being elements of Wojira, and Lightning being an element of both. There are also 2 'outlier' elements, Time and Amber, that kinda just showed up one day n no-one could trace them back as secondary elements to any of the other primaries so they are just primaries as well.

That then leads us to the Secondary elements, aka any other element that ever appeared on the show. These elements came to be as the primaries have a habit of breaking off during transfer between masters. This usually happens when either an elemental master dies n the element has to find a completely new host or when a parent has multiple children, hasn't specified which one inherits the element, and the element is trying to move on. For example, sometime during the succession of the water element, the elemental master died and the majority of the water element was like hey person A is the perfect canidate let's go for them, while a small portion of the water element was like no person A is horrible imma go for person B n then made the element of Poison. Or, in an alternate universe where Kai and Nya had a 3rd sibling, part of the element of fire could think that the 3rd sibling is a more suitible canidate and go for them, same for the element of water, combining to give the 3rd sibling the element of steam.

This also means that because all of the secondary elements are based off of the primary elements, with enough training a primary elemental master could tap into and control a secondary element, granted not to the extent a secondary elemental master could. Like, if Cole tried hard enough, he could use the element of metal like Karlof, or if Kai tried hard enough, he could use the element of light. Now this is also where the Storm split into Lightning+Wind gets a little tricky. Because Lighting and Wind split form the same element, they have a natural affinity for each other. And I know that the Jay using wind s1 was an error n Morro using lighting was probably just because he was in lloyd's body, but i'd be rlly cool if Jay and Morro/Euphrasia could tap into the others elements if they tried hard enough. That also means that they'd be able to tap into each other's secondary elements. The combination of Earth+Storm results in both Technology and Dust, but Tech is lightning-shifted while Dust is wind-shifted. That means theoretically Jay could use Dust and Euphrasia could use Tech, but it'd be a lot harder than Jay using Tech n Euphrasia using Dust.

The secondary element combos I have so far are:

Pure Earth: Metal, Sand

Pure Fire: Heat, Light, Shadow, Color

Pure Storm: Teleportation, Gravity, Sound, Speed

Pure Ice: Mind, Snow

Pure Water: Poison

Water+Storm(Wind-Shifted): Ink

Water+Ice+Storm: Weather

Earth+Ice: Crystal

Earth+Fire: Fusion, Lava

Fire+Storm(Lightning-Shifted): Smoke

Water+Earth: Form, Nature/Flora, Fauna

Ice+Storm: Imagination

Earth+Storm(Lightning-Shifted): Technology

Earth+Storm(Wind+Shifted): Dust

Fire+Ice: Temperature

Fire+Water: Steam

Guys help I think I lost control of him; he's changing my scripts again. I had all the dialogue for this comic written out, but haven't touched it for 2 weeks (depression is a bitch and all that). Anyway somehow when I finally felt like drawing tonight, all this new dialogue came to me just like it does when I'm writing him in fics. Lmao he looks so evil here esp with the sun setting but I STG he's not going to the dark side or anything (I mean at least not completely).

Anyway I think I'm gonna release this on Tumblr two panels at a time, then release the final/full version on AO3 page by page as I have been. Looking at all my pages of sketches gets really daunting so I think it'd be motivating for me to release it bit by bit on here... (until it gets too spicy)~ >>
