🧡 When you get this, name 2 fics you’ve written that you’re proud of right now. Send this to 5 people, keep the positivity train going 🧡

You can ignore if you’ve already done this/been tagged lol

I hope you’re happy and comfy today!!!

- waiting-so-long

hiya @waiting-so-long! i'm having a great day. i made stew and got to chat to my mum on the phone (apparently she's been invited to a wedding next year and wants me to go as her plus one so we can switch plates when it comes to the wedding breakfast).

i'm gonna cheat a little bit and give you 2 fics AND two wip chunks just because i can.

first up we have "romance" in the age of technology. it's a smutty little soapgaz fic that i wrote up while i was recovering from my own top surgery.

secondly is my kate laswell x reader armpit licking/thigh riding fic. another smutty little something and my first kate fic!

and now for the wip chunks (which will go below the cut).

first up from a soapgaz fic that i've decided to rewrite:

....at least, that’s what kyle should be doing. instead he’s posted up at one of the few remaining tables around the dance floor, nursing a soft drink and trying not to pine too obviously from his position. not that he’d admit to pining. he’s not pining. he’s just keeping an eye on his mate, like he always has and always will (that close call in the channel tunnel had been eye-opening for a number of reasons).  johnny, of course, looks gorgeous. he’s twirling the mother of the bride around with a wide grin on his face, his kilt fanning out slightly and offering a tantalising flash of the skin above his knee. (this is why kyle had switched out to soft drinks, he found himself getting a little bit too austenian when it came to johnny in his kilt when he was drinking the champagne).

secondly a chunk of angst from offshore (and adrfit at home). it's a soap x reader, ghoap x reader and [redacted] x reader fic. trigger warning for cheating (in general for the whole fic if you decide to look through the tag).

the upstairs is cramped, as all former council houses are. just two small bedrooms and a bathroom off a small carpeted landing. your unexpected guest pauses, staring at the framed photograph of you and johnny on the wall at the top of the stairs.  “‘e looks happy.”  you look at the matching grins in the photo, your eyes squinting in the sunshine and johnny’s pink sunburn immortalised next to two large ice creams. a perfect summer’s day.  “we were.” you say softly before turning to push open the door to the spare room, avoiding the way those dark eyes turn on you.

Intro?

Hello, I am Chareon! I'm a VTuber, pre-debut, who is set adrfit by a lorge blubird into the vast ocean of internet. I'm making this Tumblr blog cause I'm on Insta and Mastodon and all sort of other art-based places! I'm learning how to draw digitally, and it's slow and I'm bad at it, but I wanna put it up on places to showcase my skills improving. I've been unsuccessful on Tumblr before (and it turns out I still have an old account here someplace, too) so I thought it'd be fun to post art here, too. I might do my ebook covers too, but I dunno. Anyway, I'm all over the place, so if you see me around the internet, say hi if you want! I'm drawing stuff and getting ready for my debut. Okay, talk later?

The Beginning;

Born in a parallel universe of Earth-616 and Earth-199999, Reed Richards was considered the smartest scientist in the entire world along with being a polymath. After a space mission gone wrong, Reed was exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation aloing with his three friends Ben Grimm, Reed’s girlfriend Susan, and her younger brother Johnny Storm after their NASA approved ship collided with a mysterious substance in space. Reed and the others were mutated by the radiation, giving Reed the ability to stretch and mold his limbs to however he pleased.

Together they became the Fantastic Four, a team that specialized in fighting science based and multiverseal threats. Reed would go on to marry Susan Storm / The Invisible Woman and live out his life as a part time member of The Avengers.

The Beginning of the End;

When Wanda Maximoff lost her children during the events of Westview, she called upon Doctor Stephen Strange to teach her the spells so she could travel through the multiverse and find her children. Strange, sensing that Wanda was still grieving and needed help, resisted her request and offered emotional support to which Wanda denied.

Going to the Baxter Building, Wanda asked Reed Richards if he would be able to build a machine that would allow her to travel through the multiverse. Horrified that she would think of stealing children from another universe, Reed denied Wanda and offered to help her through her troubled times. 

Mentally broken from her losses, in a fit of jealous rage she would murder Reed Richard’s wife Susan Storm who was pregnant at the time with their unborn child, along with Ben Grimm / The Thing and Johnny Storm / The Human Torch, saying that if she couldn’t have her children, then Reed didn’t deserve his own. Leaving Reed alive to suffer, she then returned to Doctor Strange’s sanctum in New York. The Scarlet Witch attacked Stephen Strange and murdered him in a fit of rage before stealing his books on dark magic and the multiverse.

The Fall;

Richards arrived at the Sanctum using his teleporter but was too late. Wanda had already killed Stephen Strange along with various other Avengers who recieved his distress call. Reed, attempting to stop Wanda from using dark magic to enter the multiverse, was accidentally taken by Wanda inadvertently through her magic after he touched her during a ritual. Taken through the multiverse, Reed Richards would watch in horror as Wanda’s spell accidentally destroyed their entire universe. 

Reed, adrfit in the multiverse, would end up on Earth Prime. The original Earth. Wanda and Reed would be captured by an alternate version of Scarlet Witch who sensed a multiverseal breach. Taken to the Illumanti, this Earth’s version of The Avengers, Reed would plead his case on his Earth’s Wanda and how she needed to be imprisioned for her crimes. 

After investigating Reed’s claims, Professor Charles Xavier confirmed that Reed and Wanda’s Earth had been completely destroyed by Wanda’s dark magic. Reed’s Wanda would be imprisioned in the Dark Dimension. The Illumanti Wanda promised her alternate counterpart that if she ever escaped from her prison, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill her for what she did to Reed’s family and his world.

Joining the Illumanti;

Reed, as Mr. Fantastic, carried on the legacy of The Fantastic Four by continuing to wear his blue suit. He joined the Illumanti in hoping to help them keep their universe safe, and make sure that what happened to Reed’s universe never happens to another.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

THE SWORD WITH THE RED HILT IS CURSED AND RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST PROBLEMS IN ARTHURIAN LEGENDS

lets start with the facts. 

fact one, i am supposed to be writing an essay english rhetoric in advertising right now. fuck that, fact two: 

the sword with the red hilt first appears in la morte attached to a maiden, who says he cannot be free unless someone worthy pulls the sword from its sheath. everyone at court fails, and then balan, who has been banished for Crimes, tries and succeedes. the damosel warns him that the sword is suer cursed and hes like. whatever. and yeets back to arthur, who forgives him bc. idk the sword says hes cool. what a fun legal system.

anyway balan immediately uses the sword to behead a lady of the lake and gets banished for real. he then does the DOLOROUS BLOW which isnt relevant but is bad and like. grail stuff. anyway then he accidentally kills his brother balin with the sword and dies

fact two: merlin comes upon this grisly scene and is like lmaoo this is hilarious. im gonna diy this sword. and he switches the pommel for a red one and carves a prophecy on the hilt

fact three: the prophecy in question says: here shall never man handle this sword but the best knight in the world, and that shall be sir lancelot or else galahad his son, and lancelot with this sword shall slay the man he loved best in the world and that shall be sir gawain

okay so merlin just plunks that bad boy into a rock which floats for some reason and sets it adrfit, and fucks off to get tree’d

fact 5 or whatever: after like 20 years this rock floats down to camelot where first gawain tries to pull it from the stone, because arthur orders him to, then percy, because he doesnt want gawain to be embarrassed, also tries and fails. everyone is like u guys are gonna b super cursed. 

finally galahad (babey boy. baby) pulls it out, proving hes the grail knight. and we all know how well that worked out for him. so he beefs it on the grail quest (pause for tears) and percival, who also touched the sword, dies on the grail quest, but bors, who didnt, is the only of the three to make it back.

and then lancelot gets the sword with the red hilt. yikes. he then uses it to kill THIRTY SIX fellow knights of the round in like TWO DAYS, including gareth, gaheris and agravaine

so gawain is like. uh oh spagettios im rabid now. and keeps challenging lancelot to fight him to the death, which he eventually does, killing gawain just as the hilt said he would. 

conclusion: sword cursed as fuck dudes. next time listen to the magical maiden when she says not to fuck with her sword.

[createcomposecapture]

.Anchorless.

Adrfit, the knots disembroiled

Then the anchor sank, to the fathomless depths

Tied only to my final prayer

Heaped burdens though, are all that hold me now

I would swim once more, sure, if only I dared

Sanctuary misplaced, as the demons prowl

My only wish is to traverse time

Only, I am stuck

Momentum lost, and I can’t rewind

Endlessly tossed between your positivity and my own destruction

No, I don’t want to hold on

To someone else’s dreams of my life.

Heartland 13x04 - Eye of the Storm review

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

So, long story short, I managed the spoil myself on this episode because while at (Canadian) Thanksgiving with my fam, it was on in the background, just couldn’t hear any sound. So anyways, here we go.

Let’s call this a saga of 3 storylines:

But first, A short word on Kirk

I get what Ty was intending but common... that was not smart. Confronting Kirk; there was no way this was going to end well. Ty was defending Amy but Kirk didn’t even start the confrontation... if they just left peacefully Kirk probably wouldn’t have called them horse killers in the middle of the diner; he only did because Ty demanded he retract his comments.

It’s worth nothing that the diner scene was the biggest giveaway that this Kirk storyline would be coming to an end, despite knowing how this all ends (again, due to me being spoiled), since I knew that this “horse killer” scene hadn’t been seen yet in the episodes, yet spoiled in the S13 promo. But you know, minor details.

But, good thing they have bigger worries to deal about than to dwell on being called a horse killer in public (where presumably, most of the customers are don’t think Amy is a horse killer since Lou owns it?) because...

A STORM IS COMING

(& not just the actual storm.. like literal personal storms that have the good fortune of popping up...)

Part 1: The Fleming-Morris’

Oh Lou, now is not the time to confront Georgie about her college application when they’re in the middle of the storm prevention. Like Peter said, “real organic Lou.” Sorry, but you aren’t being subtle. Suggesting the “game of life” and “being how proud you are of how motivated you are” isn’t real subtle at all

So the last time they hung out as a family was when Georgie broke her arm (I forgot which season), so it was really nice to see all four of them together again, even if it was an intervention.

Again, what is this timeline? What time of year it is? They’re talking about late submissions aka early January/February but it’s only episode 4.. and from my experience, campus tours usually happen in the fall before you apply, so did that much time pass between two episodes ago? Maybe this is nary the point but if it is January/February (aka ‘late submissions’ seasons since they’re usually due early January), then WHERE IS THE SNOW?!! It must be snowing since y’know that area has snow already in 2019 and it’s only October.

Anywaaaays, after some annoyance from Georgie and some pushiness from Lou, the family reach an agreement which probably should have been reached months ago. That this is a time of change; or in Katie’s words: “You’ll (Peter) will be going back to Vancouver and Georgie will be going to college” and Georgie, whether it’ll be show jumping or college or both, will do what she decides is best.

The first step? Applying to college (Hey, the first step is to apply, and then you can decide if you want to go or not. At least give yourself the option to go, because if you don’t apply, you don’t even give yourself a choice. She’s in the unique position of having her aunt not go to college, an ex taking the year off and a friend knowing what he wants to do already which is probably not helping matters. But this storyline is refreshing to see because while maybe a little... exaggerated, this is what many university students will be going through.

It seems to me that Lou is almost completely over Peter, but Peter... may not completely be over Lou after the way he looked after Lou took a phone call from Mitch. Which is, all together, a little surprising and i’m really hoping they don’t go down this “lets get back together route” which I fear they might after Katie’s off hand comment about “I don’t want you to get married or anything”.

Part 2: Ty and Kirk

Oh hey Ty? This lil personal thing you gotta fix while the storm is hours away with Ty is commendable, but again, maybe not the time even if it did solve the problem? Did you learn from the school of Lou? And again Ty, now is not the time to play vet and make sure Sarge is okay. But Ty’s gonna do what Ty’s gonna do and not learn his lesson (end result be damned).

Ty ends up staying back and saving all of Kirk’s horses (I guess Kirk is glad that he didn’t get the restraining order) and even manages to get an apology from Kirk from his behaviour. We learn his wife Carla died last year, which made me think perhaps, that if Amy did look at Sarge again, maybe she’d better be able to help Sarge knowing the full issue (ie. using Carla’s old clothes). Maybe Sarge just couldn’t have another rider because he misses Carla. Not that i’d think Kirk would give them a chance again but had Amy known the whole story it might be a whole different story.

At all means, i’m glad this storyline is over, so hopefully the construction crew can get back to work (not that they really made much progress tbh) even if perhaps, it may have been for the best that they stopped because the storm may have brought the house down all together and added more expenses. I honestly just really want this house built at least by season 14 because they do need a place of their own - i mean someone has to move out from the main house right?

Part 3: “Everyone else” (Amy, Jack, Tim and Luke)

Jack keeps on freezing up anytime he sees the cellar, bringing up memories of June, who presumably often frequented the cellar. 

Meanwhile, Luke can’t seem to shake that Boots got “released” into the wild, even if it was for the best. This probably, most definitely has to do something the fact that he’s already had his mom leave/abandon him (again, even if it was for the betterment of her mental/physical health) and Jack releasing Boots reminded him of that.

Luke thinks Jack hates him, which prompts Jack to clear things to up and finally explain his hesitancy and his ability to freeze whenever something reminds of his past. To me, it seems like, Jack wanted out due to his abusive father and all, but when June died (and things got worse), when he finally came around he adopted June’s dream, maybe in a way he didn’t quite realize, to keep her memory alive, living her dream (even if some of it was revisionist history... or a plot hole as discussed in @the-real-tc’s post).

Jack finally hears June’s words from her diary, 45+ years later, and the final parting shot of June running away then fading away, to me signifies that he’s finally over the major hump and starting to put June in their past. I don’t think June will ever be “just in the past” but today’s episode represented Jack facing his past demons for the first time. Perhaps learning about June’s desire to run the ranch herself made him realize had one rock not been there, the cart been one centimetre to the left or right, that he really would have been giving June her dream. And that’s a big step, not just in Tim and Jack’s relationship.

STRAY ENDS

How cute is lil Lyndy coming out of the storm cellar and just yelling ‘grandpa’ as she goes after Tim? I think I rewound that part a few times it was so adorable.

Where’s Lisa? We saw Mitch call Lou, Ty call Amy, but.... Lisa didn’t call to check up on Jack? Maybe she was busy with Fairfield? How is Fairfield doing?

Adrfit Ch. 1: Lifting Fallen Stones

No one expected it to be her.

Obviously, everyone’s first choice was Deku, which made sense, given his self-sacrificing nature. Or maybe Shouto, if his ice melted faster than expected. Hell, even Hagakure, who she’d helped through nightmares about this exact situation, unnoticed in the evacuation. But, in hindsight, it made sense. If any member of their class would end up crushed under a fallen building,

It would be the girl with anti-gravity powers.

“Got a pair here, Froppy!”

Tsuyu hopped towards Uraraka, zig-zagging through the other heroes and panicked evacuees. She was pointing towards two young girls huddled against a concrete slab. Above their heads, massive pieces of the building, whole walls and columns, floated aimlessly. Uraraka gave a confident smile towards the girls, though Tsuyu saw the subtle shake in her legs that meant she was reaching her limit.

“Nothing to fear, girls! Froppy’ll get you outta here, no problem.”

The pair sat in a puddle, water gushing out of a broken pipe in the wall. They held each other close, trembling with fear as the older one’s wide eyes met her. Quickly, Tsuyu whipped out her tongue, grabbing the girls and pulling from beneath the floating rubble. Her heart ached at their terrified sobs, but she had no time to waste. Setting them on their feet and seeing they were uninjured, she ushered the two towards a police officer waiting just behind a line of yellow tape. As she turned back to Uraraka, asking if there were any other victims nearby, they heard a call from across the impact site. “Uravity! We got someone trapped, we need you!”

“Shit,” Tsuyu heard Uraraka mutter. “I hadn’t finished here. Froppy, I’ll keep these up in the air, can you check to see if anyone’s still over here?”

Tsuyu nodded, but called out to Uraraka before she could leave. “Wait, Uravity!” She turned to look back. “I saw your leg shaking. Please, be careful.”

Uraraka gave her a quick grin, but Tsuyu could tell she was holding back nausea. “Don’t worry, I know how to handle myself. Watch out for yourself too, Tsu.” And with that, she ran off towards the call, leaving Tsuyu slightly stunned. It had been years since any of them had slipped up and called each other their real names in public.

She still remembered the moment they’d been shut up during home room, told they’d need to start calling each other by their hero names. “It’s a much overlooked part of the job, but it’s essential if you want a life outside of hero work. Some heroes,” Aizawa said, clearly meaning himself, “prefer their privacy. You must do your utmost to respect that.” For Tsuyu, the change was easy. Asking everyone to call her by her first name, she would have been a hypocrite if she didn’t put any effort into using the names people requested. Even Iida, whose proper etiquette had made it impossible for him to remember to use their hero titles, now spoke them with ease.

So this gesture from Uraraka wasn’t a slip-up. It was her being cheeky, trying to assure Tsuyu and put her at ease. But as she continued her job, searching for others to help out of the destroyed mall she couldn’t help but worry for her friend.

As she grabbed a young man stuck on a ledge from the remains of the second floor, small pieces of rubble came showering down on them. She shielded the man with her hand, feeling a few rocks bounce off her glove, and hurried him out of the building. The moment the man was in the hands of an EMT, she bound for the other side of the building, where Uraraka had gone. The rubble raining down had become bigger, and though she deftly leapt through the crowds rushing for cover, she could not avoid the concrete falling around her. She felt something crash into the side of her head, and though she stumbled, she fought through the pain. Blood dripped down her face, stinging her eyes, but she did not stop. A crowd had begun to form, with all medical staff and victims clearing away from the falling building pieces, and she sped towards it.

She pushed her way through the crowd, offering hasty apologies as she made her to say to the terrifying sight they’d gathered around.

Uraraka was crouched beneath a massive concrete slab, which was pinning a young boy to the floor next to her. Despite having all ten fingers on the piece, it stayed rooted to the ground. Uraraka, green in the face, was struggling trying to lift this piece with her own strength. The rubble raining down was now the size of Tsuyu herself.

“Uravity!” She called, and Uraraka glanced at her. Tsuyu saw her gag and turn back to the trapped boy, trying to calm despite suffering from quirk overuse. “Uravity! It’s not safe! Leave!”

Her words seemed to only fuel Uraraka’s resolve, and she crouched lower, straining her body against the weight of the concrete. “Wait… almost… got it…” The rubble was deafening now, and Tsuyu quickly pulled an officer away a moment before he would have been crushed.

“Uravity, please, you’re running out of time!” Tsuyu was pleading now, but Uraraka refused to listen.

With a final grunt, she managed to lift the concrete just a few inches, enough to free the boy’s trapped leg. She turned to Tsuyu, a fiery mix of fear and determination in her eyes. “Froppy! Now!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, she wrapped her tongue around the boy’s chest and leapt away from the building, sprinting away from the looming shadows that descended back to the ground. A shockwave rolled through the streets, and she stumbled, pulling the boy close to her chest as rocks pelted her whole body. The whole world crashing around her. She closed her eyes and hoped she’d made it far enough.

Slowly, the echoes faded, and Tsuyu rose to her feet, unsteadily. The boy had a broken ankle, probably from the building, but seemed to have sustained no other injuries. Tsuyu could feel her back mottled with bruises and coated with dust, blooded hardening around her eye. She coughed, spreading dust in the hazy air as she picked up the boy and moved towards the ambulances. Adrenaline coursed through her veins, every action done on instinct. Get the boy to safety. Elevate the leg. Find the ambulance. Rescue. Rescue. Rescue. If she focused on the rescue, she didn’t have the look at the building, now with no resemblance to its former self, a pile of rubble. If she focused on the rescue, she didn’t have to think of those she didn’t get to in time. If she focused on the rescue, she didn’t have to think of Uraraka, buried under there. She must be terrified, trapped in isolation under there. That is, if she was lucid. If she wa conscious. If she was ali…

No. She couldn’t think like that now. She had to focus on the rescue.

By the time she found an ambulance, the dust has settled, and the silence was quickly replaced with frantic orders from police, clearing everyone away from the remains of the wreckage. She ran to one, a heavy weight settling in her stomach. “What’s going on? Should we head back inside?”

The officer gave her an incredulous look. “Froppy, there is no more ‘inside’. Between two collapses, survivors are unlikely. Especially considering these damages.”

The weight grew, heavier and heavier, pinning her to the spot. The adrenaline began to fade. “No, it can’t…”

Her head rushed with pain, and she stumbled into the officer, who caught her before she fell. “Froppy, be careful! You might have a concussion, you need to check with an ambulance.”

Everything was wrong. The world was spinning, and Froppy, the calm, organized, thoughtful hero was gone. Tsuyu took her place, a frightened girl who quickly felt herself speeding past denial and towards gut-wrenching guilt. She tore herself out of the officer’s grip, leaping towards the wreckage past shouts from fellow heroes and police, ignoring the shards of glass and rock tearing apart her feet, until she stopped the edge of the building’s remains. Though her throat was dry, her voice ragged, she shouted out one word.

Tsuyu had never had trouble using her friend’s hero names. But here, staring into the dusty debris, her costume torn to shreds, unsteady on her feet, she did something heroes are never supposed to do.

“Ochako!”

She used her name.
