#The fic is really heartwarming

Sketch commission i made for @neon-angels-system, based on their beautiful fanfic "Perennial Florets" posted on AO3.

You know that moment where Senku digs up Taiju’s statue and he has that moment of sudden overwhelming emotion in his eyes (and then proceeds to get the same eye shine whenever he sees Taiju/Yuzuriha or hears their voices after being separated)?

I’d love to see a fan comic/art of the moment he finds Yuzuriha’s statue in the tree.

need to know what addictive chemical kaneshiro put in him that make people react the way they do with him

[unopenablebox]

still haunted by the fact that i apparently coped with the pandemic by writing a heartwarming trans coming-out fic in a popular fandom. like why and how did i do that. was i possessed

SO in the wake of regaining entry to Livejournal I've started saving the fics I read there for posterity, which given that this is almost entirely a pre-AO3 zone means going through the Very nostalgic process of continually highlighting the given chapter's text, copying and pasting it over to a Word (well, Libre Office) document, and saving n.n;

I had the journal when I began my House/Wilson phase, so that is the clear majority in terms of fics recced there, haha. (I even completed a rec_50 challenge with them!!) And so far, I've been able to save almost everything I linked there, which is honestly amazing! (Albeit with some searching around for mirrors e.g. on fanfiction.net or squidgeworld or just good ol' Wayback Machine.)

So, I should have no reason whatsoever to complain!

...except. :')

There is this one PARTICULAR House/Wilson fic that, for whatever reason, just... lodged itself into my brain, and even all these years later I still think about it sometimes. It wasn't long (only a few thousand words long), or all that original, but it the emotion in it was just so perfectly captured! A very particular kind of emotion that I can only really fully appreciate now that I know I'm aro!!!

Except I... just can't seem to remember the name of it?! (I remember so many other fic's names...) And from what I've seen so far - and I'm making serious headway through them - none of the linked fics look like they are the one I am thinking of... :')

which. How exactly do you ask for help finding a fic published almost fifteen years ago?! I have no idea how to contact the House/Wilson fandom who would've been around back then... I do not think that anybody is checking the comms anymore :')

i'm not sure if someone asked you this already but would you ever write a sequel to your girl!lando oscar fic? i think about pardon my emotions often and can't get enough of it!

YOU ARE SO SWEET 😭 PLS! and yes someone did!

tl;dr the answer is yes, i plan on writing it! it’s planned as a trilogy and i have an outline in my head. there are already some fantastic tidbits from ‘24 i couldddd incorporate… like miami, the recent telegraph interview, austria weekend… …

i am on here a lot in bursts, as my irl job is fairly demanding, so my bandwidth to write is honestly… inconsistent… and realistically i reckon i will have something towards the autumn.

but i think about girl!lando all the time, and she’s just rattling around my subconscious until she shouts from the balcony for me to venture inside her world again tbh.

which is a long winded way of like. saying. thank you for thinking of her too?

anyway me rn, contemplating Possible Lore:

pardon my emotions, for those who care or are like “what fic doth anon referreth to”.

[bitchapalooza]

Thinking about the story behind the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree and how this would define hetalia Norway and England’s relationship because 🥺

[epickiya722]

Maybe it was a terrible time to be caught up with the manga because WHAT THE FUCK?! OW! OOOOWWWW!! MY CHEST HURTS?!

DIDN'T HE JUST GET OUT OF THE DAMN BOX?!

[tragicclownwrites]

... kind of a teaser? 👀

I know I mentioned I'd post a teaser for my upcoming SquidBob fic in my last writing update, so here are some very out-of-context quotes from SpongeBob's cousins that make me laugh

I will take this opportunity to say that the fic is about 75% finished! Looking forward to sharing with you really soon. 🤗

In the meantime, hopefully you enjoy my humor, even without knowing what's happening lmao. Or I can cackle to myself like the clown that I am 🤡

[marchsage]

i absolutely had to draw something for this really sweet fic bri wrote about silver experiencing his first festival!!

he tried bobbing for apples <:3

[didsomeonesaybuffet]

If You Can’t Stand the Heat… having 911 hits feels very special to me, like that’s my date of birth! On my little fic that I’m so so proud of and love so much!! That’s so cool!!

[thehappiestgolucky]

Idea for the Moth in Hisui thing with the issue of the ArcPhone, one of two things to help fix it: Either a magic scroll that acts like Tom Riddles Diary from Chamber of Secrets, or...Arceus would enter his dreams in another form to ensure he didn't get suplexed by Markoth mistaking him for being the Radiance.

Both are weird, but I hope these can help with getting an idea about the arcphone conundrum?

Both aren't bad suggestions at all tbh, another thought I had would be a modified tablet like the ones Ghost encounters that refer to Higher Beings - since written tablets are already a thing in Hollow Knight. Except like, a small portable one that receives text messages.

Part of me also just wants to use the ArcPhone itself for funny points, because he's not got a clue what this device is or how it works - and Arceus trying to text this man who has never seen such a structure before would just be really funny-

[byleresque]

begging the all of you to read this fic:

winterland (20k) by hopperbyers

[oldkamelle]

any tips on how to consume tf2 lore? i'm not a gamer i just want to rotate scout in my mind 24/7 :] thanks

NON GAMERS UNITE

I'd say watch the official animations, read the comics, peruse the game update pages on the official site cuz they of course hold some good shit (you can get to most of these by reading the side comics if i remember correctly, at the end it'll show a button that takes you to the update page for that particular comic)

Besides these, i don't know of any other canonical lore sources (for more canon info, maybe watch videos that explain the full background of the characters, they'll include tidbits that the previous sources dont).

After these, from my experience, it's just all fan content, of which there is an ungodly amount (game came out in like 2007 so you'll never get left with nothing). They inform you about the community more, while also fulfilling your blorbo needs.

Gather ‘round, it is time once again for Tyto’s 3 a.m. fic recs~

I dove into AO3 looking for vampire fic because,,, you know, and among the many quality fics for the new tv series, I stumbled on one that was actually written prior to the show’s debut.

It starts out more or less the same as book canon, with Louis becoming a vampire in the 1790s and Lestat moving into Louis’ estate outside New Orleans. Then it’s revealed that this version of Louis, while light-skinned, is actually mixed race. With all the worst accompanying historical baggage that goes with... that.

The story... diverges from there.

It’s written with intense care in regards to historical context and sensitivity, while still confronting uncomfortable topics. If you want a fic that actually addresses the whole “protagonist of the story owned a goddamn plantation” thing unflinchingly, then this is the fic to read.

Also includes an A+ portrayal of Louis and Lestat’s fraught communication problems, Louis’ unceasing struggle with mental health (and the whump that comes of that), and--believe it or not--a happy ending!
