Jungle Love

Our Story Masterlist Summary: YN is on I’m A Celeb, and Harry is her special visitor.

Based on this request

YN had been in the jungle for almost three weeks. Although she had made it to the end, she was more than ready to go home. 

She took the opportunity to challenge herself and to try something new. She wanted to show the world that she was more than just Louis Tomlinsons sister, or Harry Styles’ girlfriend. 

As they were nearing the finale and very close to announcing the jungle winner, they decided to send in loved ones into the jungle to surprise the contestants. Harry jumped at the chance to wrap his arms around his girlfriend and to be able to speak to her after almost a month of not being able to.

Harry walked between the jungle trees, as he took one step closer to seeing YN again. He looked around at the campsite, not believing he was actually there. 

“I’m so excited to see YN now…but also nervous.” Harry spoke. “I feel like I’m going on our first date again.”.

“I’m so proud of her and everything she’s done so far…she’s really challenged herself.” The sound of leaves crunching brought Harry back to reality. When YN came around the corner, Harry’s smile only got bigger and wider.

YN gasped when she saw Harry sitting on one of the campsite chairs. “Oh my god!”. YN’s legs ran towards Harry who scooped her up and held her tight. 

“I’ve missed you so much!”. Harry spoke into her neck. “I’m so proud of you!”. 

Tears poured down both their cheeks as they continued to hold onto eachother tight. Scared that if they let go, they’d wake up and it would be a dream.

“I can’t believe you’re here!” YN took her head from Harry’s neck. She took this opportunity to press her lips to his multiple times, missing the feeling of them on hers.

“I’m ready for you to come home.” Harry mumbled in between kisses. 

Harry had his arm wrapped around YN’s shoulder keeping her close whilst she spoke to the camera. “I was so surprised…I didn’t expect to walk around the corner and see Harry sitting there…it was the best surprise.”. 

YN and Harry are sat as one on her hammock, making the most of the time they have together before Harry has to leave. “Everyone back home is so proud of you.” 

“I can’t wait to see everyone!” YN looked up as she spoke to him. “That’s the only thing that’s been hard is not seeing you and my family!.”

Talking to the camera again, YN explained how seeing Harry has given her the motivation and the last bit of strength she needs for the final few days in the jungle. 

Before Harry had to leave, they enjoy being in each others arms for a little longer. “I’m so grateful for everything in my life.” YN explained. “Including you, I definitely took for granted having you by my side everyday.”. 

“Aww baby!” He cuddled her tighter. “I love you.” Harry pecked YN’s lips. 

“I love you bubs!”.

“Get yourselves someone who looks at you like Harry Styles looks at YN!” Ant and Dec joked, after the clip of them reunited played.

When dan said “It's so lucky to find someone you can be THAT compatible with,” I think about this picture:

Well maybe not this exact picture but this particular cross-hand autograph signing thing they do at every joint meet n’ greet.

Of course their compatibility goes way beyond this. It’s what Dan himself described, “two people - if you just get on with someone really well, someone you can spend time with... is that a soulmate?”

I would agree.. but let’s just talk about the hand thing.

I’m sure it started coincidentally. It began when they decided Dan and Phil sounds better than Phil and Dan. From that, it’s the unwritten rule of TV that dictates Dan should always stand on the right side of Phil. It’s so that audience could naturally see from left to right, Dan and Phil, just like how they’re called. I think they talked about this in one interview, citing Ant and Dec as an example.

And it just so happened that Dan is a lefty. When they signed things at the same time, it became natural for them to cross their hands to sign, so that their autographs read Dan and then Phil from left to right as well.

I said “natural for them” because it’s actually quite ridiculous when you really think about it. They can just do it one by one just as easily and only a few seconds slower (if even that.)

But yeah, natural for them might not make sense to anyone else, like when they decided rubbing cat whiskers out of the other’s face simultaneously backstage in tatinof is easier than having a stage hand do it for them, which still baffles me to this day.

The most important thing though, is it works for them. It has always worked for them. It still works for them like many of the life manoeuvres they probably set for themselves but we’re not privy to.

It’s just them, perfectly slotted into each other’s life in more ways than one.

Last Song: I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) - Glass Animals

Favorite Color: Purple

Currently Watching: Was watching Star Wars Rebels but now I've gone to the other spectrum and am half-heartedly watching glee lol. Used to watch it a little when I was younger but not properly so thought I'd give it a go again

Last Movie: Five Nights at Freddie's (Only cause my friend wanted to see it)

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: I've always had a sweet tooth so definitely sweet! But I like all three!

Current Obsession: Amourshipping as a ship cause I'm still writing my fic about it. And doctor who in general as it's doctor who month and I will be even more obsessed with it than usual when it comes back on next week!

Last Thing I Googled: Limitless Win Board Game - I had no idea it even existed! But I think I'm gonna ask for it for Christmas purely because I love Ant and Dec that much aha

Selfie: (under the cut)

I've barely taken many this year so have an old one from a couple years back! My hair was particularly good that day for whatever reason haha

[antanddecforever]

Since the next series of takeaway is the last for a while, I hope they change things up a bit. Maybe bigger, crazier Ant v Dec challenges? I’d love for ant and dec to be the ones saying the stuff to strangers in get out of my ear! Or even some celebs get their own back and prank the boys undercover like Jonny Wilkes did years ago!

I also don’t really want them to do the last show from America or somewhere other than the studio. I feel like the energy and excitement doesn’t come across as well when they’re far away. 🤔

Just my thoughts. If anyone else has any thoughts on this I’d love to hear them 😊

🎃halloween with the avengers and co!🎃

summary: um. you can read so

warnings: this is literally me rambling, haunted places, animated bucky having like double d’s wtf, the most unorganized thing i’ve ever made don’t judge me

a/n: this is so messy but i had so much fun just writing whatever came to mind, apologies for jumping all over the place lol but hope you get a laugh out of it anyways 🤍🤍

OH MY GOD ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE DONE THIS

BUT YALL SHOULD KNOW THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE MY FAVORITE THING

I MAY BE AN ATHEIST BUT CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST SHIT EVER

and i honestly spent halloween in my dorm bingeing movies and i’m rewatching werewolf by night and just realized i need to write for halloween so oops

halloween with the team is the best shit ever.

you want to wear a costume? no party like a stark party.

sure, some people are lazy and show up in their suits and call it a day (cough sam cough)

but it’s well made up for by peter and harley both going as tony (and arguing over who did it better) and kamala dressing as carol

yelena and nat would dress up as each other and make fun of the other

“i’m natasha and i’m an avenger and i love tight suits with no pockets so my ass looks good when i pose”

“i’m yelena and i have an addiction to sriracha and versace”

tony was going to show up as himself, but morgan wrangled the stark family into dressing as food. she’s a cheeseburger, obvi

steven convinced marc to go as an archaeologist, but when the latter fronts he instantly yanks off the funny hat and passes it to layla, who’s honestly just there to watch the chaos

wanda goes with her usual sokovian fortune teller costume, but the twins are more than excited to prance around the tower in search of candy

america brings a share of multiversal candy, some of which isn’t… exactly… edible

speaking of which, if you hand out candy instead, you end up setting up a trick-or-treating path in the tower for the younger team members, with each of the rooms serving as a stop

the eternals are split on halloween. ikaris, being the stoic dramatic hoe he is, thinks it’s overhyped. sersei’s happy to see little kids, sprite likes scaring people, you know

but with all of your experiences combined, none of you scare easily

the world’s greatest heroes can tank any horror movie with ease, barely startling at jumpscares or violent scenes

but they DO NOT handle haunted areas well

this is entirely based on my experience at the ohio state reformatory AKA the most haunted prison in the us. i went up for fall break since i used to live near mansfield before we moved, and HOLY FUCK YALL

THAT SHITS HAUNTED HAUNTED

i sat in the chair room :)

and it felt like someone punched the right side of my face :(

my right eye teared up and got super red :(((

but i got a piece of brick from the chapel :D

probably have an attachment now :((((

anyway, say you convince the team to visit. even better, you rope tony into paying for the ghost tour

every single noise will send the group jumping

bucky pulls a knife out of his pocket the moment you enter the west attic

steve starts out a skeptic but ends up refusing to even enter the chapel

peter freaking out bc “omg sam and colby and shane and ryan were here”

things are just made worse when wanda starts to mumble about “restless energy”

fuck that if the scarlet witch is nervous then you can be too

just finished werewolf by night moving on to the zombie episode of what if?

goddamn animated bucky has bigger tits than me

are y’all seein this shit

ok back on track

if jack and elsa are somehow involved there’ll be too many werewolf jokes made

but he’s too much of a sweetheart to really protest them

i love them so much and we only have like an hour of them 🥺

scott would dress up as an ant. i’m not taking criticism. he would try to make hope dress up as a wasp but when she refuses cassie does it.

bingeing halloween movies

arguing whether or not nightmare before christmas is a halloween or christmas movie

deciding the only right decision aka it’s a halloween movie stfu

shuri would come up with a slay costume i just know she would 😭

thor and jane would have a cringey couples costume cmon guys it’s literally canon

katy would show up as a hot dog

like the worst discount hot dog costume you’ve ever seen

shang and xialing would be forced to be ketchup and mustard respectively

once again argue with the wall

overall, you’ll have fun. it’ll be chaotic as fuck, but when it comes to the avengers, what isn’t?

hope everyone had a fun halloween! now go buy that discount candy bitches!

David’s gorgeous long legs in that robe! I’d love to know Michael’s reaction to David being a little slut on SNTA.

Anon #1: I'd love to know how in the world David went from dorky dad singing "Old MacDonald" to complete whore in the space of a day.

...I mean, what sorcery is this??

But the thought of Michael seeing/reacting to David's sluttiness on Saturday Night Takeaway is quite a turn-on, so I love that you mentioned that. I was actually discussing that very thing over DM with someone just before I got your ask, so that's rather perfect. I can just picture Michael calling David immediately after watching it, all jealous and possessive:

Michael: "You have absolutely nothing even slightly resembling shame, do you know that?" David: "Was it the legs? Dressing gown too short?" Michael: "More the artful dry humping between you and Dec, really. It was a fucking balloon, Dai, not a condom." David: "I was just trying to give it a bit of welly. Points for effort and all." Michael: "...Right. But you still like me better than that twink, don't you?" David: "Of course, darling! That was all pretend. For the show." Michael: "It better have been...." *pout-growls*

I honestly think Michael would be equal parts turned on and jealous at seeing David in such a slutty state, and at the thought of getting his hands on the belt of that robe to see whether David was wearing it like a true Scotsman. I also have no doubt Michael would devise all manner of ways to remind David exactly who he belongs to the next time they see each other. Delicious. (Also, my first thought on seeing that robe was to wonder if it was Michael's face on it, and I love that other people had a similar thought to where someone actually Photoshopped Michael's face over Ant and Dec's faces.)

I am just so delighted at everything that happened on SNT for the brief amount of time David was on screen, and at seeing him have so much fun. I love that his sense of humor and improv is still so naughty, and how it so often tends to veer into extremely bisexual/not straight territory when he is on literally any show that airs after the watershed.

David was also much more charming and interesting than the actual hosts, and seemed far more at ease in front of the camera than they did. He didn't even need to do much or be on screen for long to be so captivating except be himself, with the genuine enthusiasm he seems to bring to everything he does.

And of course, he looked absolutely gorgeous in the process, with that perfectly swept coif of hair and that little teasing peek of chest hair on display:

...Beautiful. As you said, Anon #2, a true treat for our eyes. It seems that we've had a lot of David content recently (I'll say, if my Anons are any indication), and it's such a pleasure to see him being so cheeky and getting to indulge this particular side of himself. I truly do feel like something in David is slowly freeing itself--for a variety of reasons--and we are going to be in for a very interesting time when the GO 2 press tour starts. (And I can't wait.)

So those are my thoughts on David on SNT. Thanks for writing in, Anons! x

It rained. Of course it did. It wouldn’t have been a proper coronation if it hadn’t. Brits wouldn’t have had it any other way. We were born to suffer. Keep calm and carry on.

The first guests had started arriving at Westminster Abbey from early in the morning. Among them the lucky MPs who had received an invitation. Though many Tories had been complaining it was all a stitch-up by Number 10. That Rishi Sunak had hand-picked favourites and those he wanted to get on side. Whatever. Let’s hope they had strong bladders. It was going to be a long morning.

As the cameras panned round the congregation, the BBC’s Huw Edwards desperately tried to pick out a few people he recognised. There was Ant and Dec. He didn’t know which was which but few do. Nick Cave. You can’t miss the jet-black hair. Stephen Fry behind a pillar somewhere. Jill Biden and her daughter near the back. The US president never attends these kinds of dos. President Macron wandering in, totally at home. He’s almost an honorary royal these days. In his own mind, at any rate.

Others started arriving. The lord speaker processing behind what looked like a large Toblerone. The seven former prime ministers. Boris Johnson and Liz Truss bringing up the rear. Johnson looking a right state as ever. There was no way he was going to make an effort even for this. Truss with the widest smile. She can’t believe her luck. Just 49 days in which she wrecked the country and she’s guaranteed a spot on every guest list for life. Living the dream.

Near the end, Prince Andrew and Harry. Andy was allowed a cape from the dressing-up box, Harry was in civvies. The message was clear: you can be accused of being a sexual predator. But don’t dare marry a black woman and spill the beans in your autobiography. Huw could barely bring himself to mention either of them.

Out in the Mall, Clare Balding was watching a horse walk sideways while the royal coach carrying King Charles and Camilla made its way to the Abbey. Balding pointed out all the flags of the Commonwealth countries, forgetting that many of them wanted to have their own heads of state. Then the cameras also forgot to broadcast the procession going through Trafalgar Square, where republican protesters were gathered. Nor did we get to hear Andrew being booed. This was too much lese-majesty for the occasion. Huw couldn’t have stood it.

Once the king and Camilla reached the abbey, a new procession made its way to the altar. Led by Sebastian Coe. What on earth was he doing here? He gets everywhere you don’t want him and even the royals haven’t found a way of keeping him out. Prince William, Kate and their children all looked as if they were extras from a remake of Cinderella. Then so did a lot of people. Brits like to think no other country does these occasions quite as well. Other countries may have a bit more self-worth. Still, the music was wonderful.

We’d been told that the king had wanted this to be a celebration of all faiths, but in reality this was a full-on Protestant extravaganza. Other faiths were restricted to either a one-line cameo or just a walk-on part. This was in all but name a sacred ritual, honouring Charles as the one true king and the Church of England as the one true religion.

And in truth, it quickly all began to drag a little. Justin Welby’s sermon was borderline unintelligible. Meaningless to most people. The two-hour service could have done with some editing down to 75 minutes. Still, at least it was an hour shorter than the late queen’s in 1953. Prince Louis went missing for large chunks. Lucky him. Perhaps he couldn’t be separated from his PlayStation.

“I am here to serve. Not to be served,” said Charles. Really? It didn’t look that way. The whole thing was being done for his benefit, after all. Though he did look strangely detached throughout. As if he didn’t really want to be there. As if it was all a bit much for him. He could take the trinkets but the obligations of kingship were too heavy a burden. Luckily, for once the pen with which he had to sign his name worked perfectly. Otherwise he might have snapped. The only time he looked vaguely cheerful was when the gospel choir sang.

Then we got to the real ceremony. First the anointing with holy oil that took place behind a screen because it was too sacred to be broadcast. A ritual we were told that went back to Solomon. Hmm. But Zadok the Priest always adds a touch of class. Then the Orb of Excellence, the Mace of Magnificence, the Spurs of the Surreal, the Gauntlet of Devotion, the Goblet of Fire. Or something.

Still, Penny Mordaunt was the breakout star with the Sword of Sincerity. Thank God, Truss got ousted. Otherwise we might have had Jacob Rees-Mogg doing it. The archbishop struggled to get the crown on, but eventually the king was crowned. Prince William swore allegiance and kissed his father. The one tender, personal moment of the entire ceremony. Even so, it was hard to escape the sense of the absurd. A modern 21st-century democracy reliving a medieval fantasy. It was like the royalty as scripted by Disney. Hard to take seriously. Maybe it would have made more sense in black and white.

At least Camilla looked as if she was enjoying herself. She smiled and struggled not to burst out into giggles as she was asked to hold a sceptre. She clearly thought the whole thing was ridiculous. Meanwhile the king carried on suffering in this piece of dadaist performance theatre. After more interminable faffing, the king and queen nipped round the back of the altar. Presumably Camilla needed a cigarette and a quick laugh to release the tension. Most of the rest of us were by now bored. Couldn’t wait for the thing to be over. Enough was enough.

Eventually they reappeared and headed for the exit while the audience sang God save the King. Charles stopped to thank the ministers from other faiths for being ignored throughout the service. Then into the golden carriage. Princess Anne, looking like Napoleon, leapt on to a horse. “She’s now the Gold Stick in Waiting,” Balding said excitedly. Only in Britain.

other tags: dna journey, smtv, limitless win, push the button, alien autopsy, ouat, on their socials, pop stars days, ntas, baftas, tv, radio, photos, compilation

(also i should probably go through the social media tag at the end and create tags for things like game boys and taste mates)

When the boys are at the NTA's or any other award show really, Dec is always more nervous than Ant. He almost always speaks second, says fewer words and seems relieved when they win. I'd like to think that after all the time they've spent together, besides being quite similar to each other, this is where they think different. Dec likes winning because it makes him proud and thinks it will make Ant proud too, and he wants nothing but to show Ant to believe in himself, because it doesn't work without him. He wants Ant to know that he makes the world go round. Ant instead doesn't care about the awards in the same way Dec does, because the thing that makes him happiest and proudest, the real award, seeing Dec's face of relief and excitement when they call their names as the winners. That's the thing that really matters to Ant, him, Dec. Seeing him smile is the award he'd like to win every year.

Series 15 Contestants on Greg & Alex

*Click each contestants name for their full interview regarding series 15.

What do you make of Greg and Alex and their relationship?

Well, basically it’s a show about humility. So the framework is of the British Empire. That’s the artwork, right? So it’s Edwardian, late Victorian, music hall-type art. And this is the British condition, hubris. And also, the condition of comedians generally is narcissism and hubris.

So this is a game that is designed to create humility within those players. But then if you have a Taskmaster, then they’re not going to have humility, so Alex has Greg to humiliate him. And then Greg is the Taskmaster because Greg is a self-humiliating machine – all his jokes about himself, because he’s simply too large to have ever lived a normal life.

So it’s this agnostic reminder of humility all the way through the show. 

How have you got on with Alex: has he been useful, or just a huge hindrance?

By Scottish standards, Alex is a pretty helpful person.

-Frankie Boyle

Were you a fan of the show?

Yes, right back to the first series. And Alex, I’ve been such a fan of for so long, and obviously I like Greg as a stand-up. My parents love The Horne Section, so that’s the sort of thing I’d always try and take them to if they were ever coming to Edinburgh, like, ‘Here’s a nice, wholesome thing.’

The Horne Section gave me occasional guest spots at the Fringe years ago, so I felt like I had a little role in there. It’s a slightly eccentric universe.

-Ivo Graham *Be aware, Ivo does give a bit of a spoiler about one task.

How did you get on with Greg generally?

I recognise a very, very common streak of comedy in what Greg does and I adore the relationship he has with Alex. It really makes me laugh; I’ve become hysterical on occasion.

I once saw his live show called The Back Of My Mum’s Head, where I was almost incontinent with laughter. I went with my daughter, and it was in a small sweaty attic room in Edinburgh.

We were sitting next to a boy who had never seen stand-up before and afterwards, he said, ‘Is it always like this?’ and I had to say ‘no’. It was so special for him, he was wet with laughter. I had to say, ‘No, sometimes it’s shit. Come and see me tomorrow night.’

How do you describe the relationship between Greg and Alex?

Absolutely adorable. It’s a much more interesting Ant and Dec. And I love Ant and Dec. I’ve worked with them a lot and they’re great. But they’re not a patch on Greg and Alex, are they?

How do you describe your relationship with Alex during the tasks?

I felt sometimes that he felt very sorry for me but was trying not to show it.

He wasn’t as helpful as he could have been. He could have saved my bacon on a couple of occasions. He gave me the impression that I was allowed to do things that I actually wasn’t.

The thing is, in the studio, you know very well it’s not your show. It’s Alex and Greg that the audience have come to see. We are mere courtiers in the palace of.

So it is quite nerve-racking, being in the studio. There’s a tension amongst us all. We want to do well, we want to be supportive of each other, but we also want to be funny, and sometimes you feel a bit clumsy.

-Jenny Eclair

What was your tactic with Greg in the studio and trying to win a few extra points?

Greg was really annoying but I did try to convince him. Every now and then I was surprised by thinking that Greg was going to absolutely hate something, then he loved it, and vice versa, so I felt it was always worth having that conversation.

Sometimes it would be going in my favour and Alex would pipe up like, ‘Ah, but what about…’ Shut up, Alex, I’m chasing victory.

Was Alex helpful on the actual tasks?

He was at first, but then I felt he turned against me. He could be a master of destruction.

-Kiell Smith-Bynoe

The format is bulletproof so in a way it doesn’t matter who’s on it, it’s always amazing because Greg and Alex are brilliant.

Greg said I had poise, which was nice. I find Greg unbelievably magnetic. I don’t know what it is. I’ve met so many people in my life doing comedy, and I’ve never been more starstruck. For some reason, it’s like he’s the most famous man on earth in my heart.

I think I just fancy him. People warned me about that. They said, ‘You’re going to be shocked by how fanciable Greg is.’ And they weren’t lying. It’s because he’s so lovely. And it’s how quick they both are. And they’re so in tune with each other, it’s joyful. And so British.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne are both very observant, aren’t they?

They're good at cutting right to your core with an off-hand remark. I think we’re all probably low-level narcissists, so when someone really incisively sums you up – I mean, any attention is always attractive – you’re like, ‘You’ve really seen me.’ That’s very intoxicating. You’re like, ‘What else? Tell me more about me.’

Did you have a tactic when it came to dealing with Greg in the studio and trying to win him over?

I didn’t try as hard as Kiell or Ivo. I was happy to accept a loss. There were a few prize tasks where I got really shocked at the points given out, but it’s subjective, isn’t it?

I knew going into it that you had to defer to his personal taste, and I knew arguing wasn’t going to get me anywhere, but maybe I thought, ‘If I don’t push it, then maybe he’ll remember that he shafted me and he’ll pay me back. He’ll be more magnanimous.’ That never happened.

How useful or not did you find Alex on the tasks?

When he says, ‘All the information’s on the task,’ you want to chop his limbs off. Aside from that, I found him extremely charming.

As a North American, I felt like I was in a Roald Dahl book. It’s so quintessentially English that I was just automatically charmed by it.

Do you get competitive with each other over Charlotte (Ritche) though?

Over her attention? Sure. Alex asked her in front of us which of us was her favourite, and time froze. We all went silent. She said, ‘I can’t answer that.’ She was very diplomatic.

Ambition Restored

With month one nearly at a closure. Nearly wrapping up month 2 behind the veil, which has proven my greatest task yet. When I decided to dedicate myself to a year, I was going to pressure myself and force myself not only to stick into discipline but really push myself so I could find a next level. Luckily and proudly, I'm show just that. ...Although there must always be more. So I will continue to up the ante, every month, pushing myself into further creative difficulties and obstacles to overcome. This month worked on doing 7 Collabs, so one-week it'll just be that, I've just two left to really workout, the theme I'll just leave it's something with history. But I've got 300+ creative set's and days ahead, so most likely, I'll be out to nab more people should there be an interest to feature in these undertaking, putting all my energy into making art and as usual, tell a story. Not with words this time, just with emotion.

I've hit a new level, but that doesn't mean I can slouch. Now I've even more than ever, a goal again. I know exactly where I can improve in and that's half the battle. I've also a theory if works, It'll let me up another level, but in-order to get that and actually be efficient, I'm aiming at Month 7. But at this pace, It's plausible, I can hit it much sooner. Month 1, was all over the place. Mainly getting things back in-order, so chaos was the theme there. And despite leaving Month 2 sort of vague, I'm just going to announce the theme's up to Month 6. Month 3 Oct - Spooky / Horror / Cosplay / Pop-Culture Theme (like last year) Month 4 Nov - Pirate Theme Month 5 Dec - Festive Winter (Probably heavy collab.) Month 6 Jan - One-Shot I most likely also intend on doing a month just Modless. But I think one-shot will be a lot more difficult since I like telling stories, multiple shots, poses, stuff will be limited and restricted. I'll have to tell it all in one big picture and telling things often too short, is my huge flaw since I prefer working in consistent droves and in-depth, I've way too much to say and that's not always a good thing. So, I'll need to maximize the background. I can't sleaze my way out of it and this will force me to improve on my weaknesses. But if that proves actually fairly easy, I'll probably put writing alongside it, poetry and such. Also thinking about putting crew's in each four season's, as a group-set a huge undertaking thing as like the pen-ultimate coverage. If I get quicker at the draw and faster, might do-it. Swan-Song is what I named this Challenge. Often referred to as the last beautiful song a swan makes, before its end or that was always the whole legend, but many have used it before their retirement. Am I signalling this is my goodbye? Not in my idea. For me, it's about performing as if this was my last time alive, to be as proactive, to make sure I live every single note, to an unforgettable symphony. Leave nothing short-of-change, attempt not to be anything less but find a way to push myself to reach the best product of myself! So It's why I'll reach out. I talk more. I tell you what I value, your undeniable importance. I attempt to build up, what you've rejuvenated in me, restored! Raise up showcase, become more vocal and active. -- ALIVE. ...And to many whose sick of already my activity, I'm afraid, I'm just going to get even more active soon if you think this was it. With every spare energy, I hold, I will channel it as a conduit that will work to serve towards others. For in this world of creativity it's a battle to maintain it to chase and be aspired, to continue onward, to not lose passion.

11 Month's left. Then I quite possibly will leave and only then. But there's always that chance I could encore or stick around. It all depends and I don't know all the variables of the future entirely. Plans change and so do situations, but to have ambition again, to thrive for something... That's the biggest thing, I was missing and that accompanied with passion... It's so dangerous. Because... there's something I'm after at the end of not only this artificial challenge. I still will need one more, XIVWrite done. Full into completion. And while I wasn't among the first one, and only completed 2018 and 2021, to write and create and put it all into one thing has always been my favorite thing. Every skill, I acquire, is for that and to further my writing and other things. Largely in-order to give that last XIVWrite a jump, I need to advance what I lack in and GPOSE/Gif's, I'm not even remotely close to where I need for it and that has ached and disheartened me because every year, I watch it dwindle away from obscurity. Ideally this challenge corrects me, brings every bit of my buried brilliance out as a solution. Although it's just one-last XIVWrite on my bucket-list. There's still so many arcs, writing, sagas, I've to write too. So... who knows? Maybe one year, I do a challenge like this but all nonstop-writing so I can properly finish it, but writing is always been something I want to be put my best to do and it's why I study much about history, I learn every form of literature style, self-teach and overcome all my mental and physical health issues and transform them into becoming near-non-existent. I appreciate it more than all other creative outlets for myself because it truly was the origin to giving me a second-life.

I'm eagerly going to look forward to this year's XIVWrite and although I won't be participating, I know everyone else will further fuel me and remind me just how much I love it too and I look forward to hoisting those things when for night-time shares. Personally, I know by starving myself. The better it'll be for me when I properly return. Outside some occasion set writing, poems, asks, and maybe polish up and give my Budokai 3 I have drafted, I'll probably remain quite recluse. Cause I know by dieting away and disciplining myself, mentally from something you so desperately enjoy, it'll make me much better and sharper.

Man... see what I mean, I'm screwed when comes to one-shot. O_O To wrap this up. I'll be making a shorter post, probably calling out people if they want to attend a collab, I may wait for my other collabs to be shown Next Month probably in mid, so people understand what they kind of look like in-early advance. Probably Month 2, may get more Reblog heavy with Gems/Otherworldly Writers --- On Gems stuff might be less tag dialogue unless I know people more and know they're chill with me gushing on them. But I've got my ambition back, so thank you hearties for it. I greatly missed it.

You have my undying gratitude and love.

Cheers.

nicknames each LOTF gives eachother (i was bored and this is the only thing i could think of)

so, you’re probably thinking, ‘really, angel? this is how you make your comeback into your tumblr account?’ and yes, yes it is.

Ralph - Rose

this nickname is kinda just. the other boys bullying ralph and jacks rivalry.

basically the scenario for where this came about is that the boys watched the Titanic, and someone made a joke about how jack and rose and jack and ralph..and then maurice started calling ralph rose.

now ralph doesn’t hear the end of it.

Jack - Jackass

..pretty self explanatory..

Roger - (the artful) dodger

how did this name come about, you ask? well, just imagine the choir boys fancy ass private school holding a play for Oliver Twist. mine did, so after a hour of reminiscing my old school memories, i remembered being in said play — and then i connected the dots.

dodger. roger. both right hand men to a certain ‘boss’. both pricks, but the fandom still likes them. it’s perfect.

Maurice - Reece

‘’REECE GET YOUR LANKY ASS OVER HERE’’

- jack

Simon - Jesus Kid

is this because of the biblical associations with Simon’s character and Simon in the bible, aswell as Golding’s intentions with Simons character in the first place?

yes. is it also because my friend is called jesus kid too, and acts a lot like simon? also yes.

Sam and Eric

i cant just, pick one for these two. there’s so many possibilities.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum

or tweedledumb-and-dumber, courtesy of roger

Ant and Dec (WHERE ARE MY BRITISH LOTF ENTHUSIASTS HUH ☹️ I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE)

thing one and two

yes they’re all generic. no i don’t care.

UHHH PLEASE GOVE ME MORE NICKNAME IDEAS TOO!! ITD BE VV USEFUL FOR MY UPCOMING FANFIC 😎
