THE PRINCES OF THE NORTH!

i thought my little moshang kid could benefit from a baby brother

[averys-happy-space]

putting this here more for myself than anything. i wanna be able to look back at it in a year and see how its changed. explanations for each section under the cut

ship i loved at first sight: tara x piper. i don't know what the ship name is. taper? pira? pira seems nicer lol. anyway, tara used to be my favourite brawler (and is still up there in my top 5) and i think the first time i saw tara x piper fanart was on reddit. it was by Xpyray and i swear to god ive never fallen in love with a ship faster. their art is so fucking good and they dont rlly draw brawl stuff anymore but i still follow them cuz their art is so so so pretty (please go follow them if youre reading this). anyway so yeah thats how tara x piper became my fav ship.

ships i initially didn't like: rico x piper, shelly x colt imma be fr at the start i didn't really Get these ships. but after watching some of the official animations and learning more of the lore, i started to appreciate these ships more. i don't love them or anything but they can be cute

ships i don't like anymore: sandy x nita, leon x jessie, sandy x leon there is no real reason for this other than the fact that i simply stopped liking them as i grew up. as i was making this i realised that when i was younger i used to like the ships with the kids/teens more, but now i'm 17 and i'm just not interested in them anymore. i guess thats what happens when you grow up lol. these ships are still cute, but i just don't engage with them anymore

favourite popular ships: mandy x chester, fang x buster so a bit of background, i actually quit brawl stars for a while, i think after the gale brawl pass. i dont really remember why, but its probably because i just got bored of the game lol. i think that also played into why i'm no longer interested in the same ships as before. anyway, i came back this year during the bizarre circus brawl pass and accidentally fell in love with these two ships. honestly, i'm not even entirely sure why i fell in love with these two ships in particular. chester definitely caught my eye when i came back to the game because a) i love clowns b) i love a good troll c) i love the random XD energy chester has and d) he has super interesting & fun game mechanics. i have no interest in mandy really but then i saw One suggestive mandy x chester fanart that went hard af and suddenly i was on board lmao. on the other hand fang and buster were two characters that i took some time to fall in love with, but now they're my favourites lol it's so strange. i really don't know how it happened.

favourite rarepair: amber x maisie i was looking at a diagram of all the trios so far because i was brainstorming ideas for who to include in a fanfic and as i was looking at it, suddenly it Clicked in my mind that amber x maisie would go hard af. like think about it. overconfident fire entertainer who gets so swept up in performances that she forgets about safety x safety coordinator with a fire extinguisher for an arm who secretly likes being in dangerous situations? come on!!!! im surprised more people havent thought of this pairing cuz as soon as it clicked for me it seemed like such an obvious pairing to do. but then again they've never interacted in any animation/promo material/etc so i guess it's not a pair people would just think of without prompting. but it's so fucking good!!!! more people need to get in on this ship.

controversial ship: none here's the thing. i don't know any controversial ships that i can see myself shipping. the most controversial one i know is probably edgar x colette but i see them as siblings so i don't ship it nor do i engage with fanart of them. edgar and colette ships in general are probably controversial seeing as both of them don't have canon ages and it's vague enough that people are always talking about whether they're adults or minors. but i personally see both of them as older teens so i don't ship them with anyone. (to me, they're too old to hang out with the kid brawlers but also too young to hang out with the adult brawlers. it's weird because there's no other brawlers where i see them as teens, so in my mind edgar and colette both have 0 shipping potential)

ships i want to become canon the most: amber x maisie, fang x buster they're my current favourite ships. what else to say.

comfort ship: fang x buster i think about them All the Fucking Time. lowkey i started to project on fang a bit just cuz i like him so much. i don't even know why or how i started liking him this much but he's my favourite brawler now and it's horrible. i think the seal in the coffin was @/giveittomegay's fanart of them. THEY'RE SO FUCKING CUTE. like omfg. confident, charismatic chinese immigrant who just arrived at starr park x introverted insecure white guy who doesn't know how to approach others. slowburn where they become closer through working at the cinema and buster realises he's fallen in love basically immediately but fang hasn't realised his own sexuality (has had crushes on girls before so always assumed he was straight) and doesn't realise he's in love with buster until maisie straight up tells him. fang's confidence means he jokingly flirts with buster all the time because he thinks it's funny to tease the guy and make him flustered but doesn't realise buster gets flustered because he likes fang. fang is fucking stupid. also, i think using fang x shelly here as a conflict plot point would be so good. like, fang seeing a pretty girl and approaching her, flirting with her, etc. i like to think fang is dense as fuck and would genuinely believe he's in love with shelly despite buster occupying 90% of his thoughts because his thought process would be something along the lines of "oh, i just think about him a lot cuz he's my best friend, i'm sure this is all regular, normal bff things". and buster just fucking dying inside but not saying anything because he thinks it's none of his business and he shouldn't interfere in fang's love life. MAISIE WATCHING ALL THIS HAPPEN AND WANTING TO MURDER BOTH OF THEM FOR BEING SO DENSE. like ohhhhhh my god there is so much potential here it's fucking insane. side note: fang doesn't have anything against gay people. i like to think maisie x amber comes way before fang x buster, so fang knows gay people exist and like he is perfectly fine and comfortable being around them, he's just so stupidly dense that he doesn't realise HE is gay (or more specifically bi). he also assumes buster is straight because default sexuality and whenever fang makes jokes based on this assumption buster never corrects him. because buster is a pussy. god. i want to write this fanfic so bad but i'm so fucking bad at writing dialogue it's insane.

ships that deserve more attention: amber x maisie, brock x bibi, barley x bull, max x janet LET ME COOK HERE OKAY. amber x maisie i already explained above. brock x bibi (i call them bibrock) is because it's noted in bibi's bio that she's secretly a huge nerd and i think it would be super cute for her to have a bf who she can indulge in nerdy and geeky shit with. to me they're both massive comic book fans who become close by playing all the superhero video games together before branching out to other games. they're console gamers btw and they get SUPER competitive whenever they're playing against each other. but they also do play coop games where they work together. usually brock is the one who does a lot of theorycrafting and tries to minmax his grind so he can get all the resources in the most optimal and time efficient way possible, whereas bibi prefers just going into fights and wrecking havoc lol. barley x bull is because they're both restaurant owners/servers (barley has his bar, bull has his diner) and i think they would bond over shitty customers and interesting food/drink recipes. they're both also familiar with having fights break out in their establishment and are fully capable of shutting fights down, even if it means getting their hands dirty. they think they're on opposite ends of the spectrum but they're actually more similar than they realise. for sure a very slowburn romance (especially because i think bull would be denial about liking a fucking robot lmfao) max x janet is because they're both celebrity entertainers. yeah, that's it. no but seriously i see max as someone who puts up an outgoing persona in public and is generally a very hyper, high energy person but at the same time, she tends to keep people at a distance because she's scared of intimacy. before janet, her closest friends are surge and meg. surge kind of Knows something is up with her because every time he tried to ask about her past she clammed up and gave noncommittal responses. he worries about her but doesn't know what to do about it so he just tries to make her happy in the present. meg is a kid so she doesn't realise anything is wrong lol. hanging out with meg and surge makes max happy and she considers them family, but she still has a wall up around her true self. janet is the one who is finally able to help max come out of her shell and address her past trauma. it also helps that max thinks janet is very pretty and desperately wants to kiss her. this is canon btw don't question me.

first otp: tara x piper | current otp: fang x buster i basically said all i have to say about these ships so yeah. that's it.

[bugflies00]

au crimeboys make me so so insane

it's not dadbur per say, even though wilbur does get custody of tommy and raise him, but tommy doesn't see him as his dad.

if anything, for a long time tommy didn't understand what a dad (or any parent) was supposed to do, because for him that was what wilbur did. so people would be like "dont you have a mum and dad?" he'd be like "no i have a wilbur" not because he sees wilbur as a dad but because wilbur is . wilbur. yknow? like his own category that's impossible to define by """normal""" family standards. wilbur is all of tommy's family at once, because he's all he's got, and he's his brother and his dad and his best friend.

because wilbur raised him, put him to sleep, put bandaids on his knees when he fell, taught him how to read and write and tie his shoelaces and not to chew with his mouth open and how to ride a bike and picked him up from school and went to parent teacher meetings.

but wilbur's also his brother, they're constantly roughhousing and punching each other and tommy's always trying to steal his stuff and get on his nerves and wilbur's always trying to get tommy a babysitter so he can go party and get drunk without his lame little brother.

but also wilbur is like. the most certain constant of tommy's life. i mean he was just two when they were put into foster care, he doesn't remember his parents, definitely not the social workers or foster parents who cycled every couple months, and he didn't make any true long-term friends until tubbo when he was about 9 or 10. so wilbur is like. the only person he's always known and will always know and that he's never doubted will be here forever. he's the first person he remembers!!!!

and so obviously tommy is absolutely ride or die for wilbur, even though he'd never admit it because he remains tommyinnit. they're also very codependent as you can guess.

tommy's really clingy but so is wilbur, and they kinda have a shift in their dynamic where like. when wilbur was a teen and tommy was 10-11, wilbur was trying to push him away for a while because yknow he was going through it (it being depression addiction the whole deal) and lashing out while tommy was trying to cling on. but then when they're a bit older, wilbur is the one who clings onto tommy because he's terrified he'll leave him too, especially when the prospect of tommy going away to college starts profiling itself.

that's something that wilbur takes a loooooong time to accept, because for a while he was flat out forbidding tommy from going off to college anyway further than a half hour ride. which is obviously. not very healthy. eventually he accepts but he completely motherhens the whole time to the point where tommy has to be like "im literally 18 ill be fine im not leaving forever" but wilbur still has a hard time the whole period tommy's away.

and anyway tommy doesn't cope well with it either, he had this whole idea of going off to college to try something new and make new friends, but once he's there he hates it. he realises it that he hasn't actually made friends since tubbo when he was 9 (he met ranboo through tubbo), because having his two best friends and his brother was always enough for him. and so he's completely alone with all these people he doesn't know how to talk to, and he starts spiralling and his grades start dropping, and he has the whole thing with dream. so eventually tommy does come back home because really he's just as clingy and he couldn't stand being away like that.

eventually when they're older they grow into something that's less... desperate i want to say? obviously they still love each other so much but they're able to hang out and spend time together in a way that doesn't feel like. "if im separated from you for more than two days i will literally die because i've been relying on you and defining myself around you my entire life" yknow?

it's a very complicated situation because they care so so so much about each other and would both kill and die for the other, but they've also hurt each other a lot. wilbur especially lashed out a lot when he was a teenager, and tommy often felt like it was his fault they couldn't stay in a good house for long, because he was too loud and rambuctious etc. there's also a whole bit with their last foster home that i want to explore but that is its own post

there's also an element of like. tommy feels guilty that wilbur had to put his whole life on pause to take care of him but wilbur doesn't see it that way. one day when they're having a really messy and bad argument he shouts something along the lines of not wanting the responsibility of tommy in the first place, which is something tommy takes a looooooooong time to heal from, and it's not even true. not just because he loves tommy, but because if it wasn't for that responsibility he doesn't think he would be alive. not in a metaphorical sense, as in very concretely, 12 to 20 yr old wilbur was in a daily mantra of "you can't kill yourself tommy is relying on you." and then it became "you can't kill yourself tommy and fundy are relying on you." and wilbur doesn't want to share that with tommy because in general he tries his best to never tell him anything dark like that (which on one hand yeah your 15 yr old brother isn't your therapist but on the other hand Do You Understand How Emotional Communication Works no he doesn't lmao) . but in the end he does end up telling him when he understands that tommy feels so guilty about him taking care of him and it's a very . important conversation in their lives . They cry a lot 👍

you dont need to answer this if you're not feeling it, but!!! I am obsessed with the Josie universe and want to know more. How does she handle sleepovers growing up? Does she love them? Is she a loner kid? Is she someone who is weird and quiet at home and social butterfly in school or vice versa? How do the four handle her school days? Is someone super involved while someone else just shows up when they're told to different recitals and family things?

I am always feeling Josieverse!!! I love answering anything about it please please please send me things!!!

How does she handle sleepovers growing up? Does she love them?

Josie’s really accustomed to sleepovers both because of living with Steve and Eddie alongside Robin and because of the party. Steve and Robin end up sharing their beds a lot so Eddie by extension also ends up sharing with them, and Josie would always crawl into Robin’s bed in the night so she’s used to sharing a room with other people. She doesn’t start having sleepovers at other people’s houses until she’s about 7 or 8, and by that point she’s also had experience with spending the night at her other mom’s house, so she adjusts to it pretty quickly!

That being said, she prefers when the sleepovers are held at her house, if only because all three of them (four, once Nancy comes back and starts dating Robin) make it SUCH an event for the kids. Steve pretends to be their butler for the evening and Eddie keeps bowing and calling everyone “madam” or “ma’am” which makes her giggle.

(Other answers under the cut since this ask ran away from me!)

Is she a loner kid?

Not at all! It’s something that really throws Robin for a loop initially because she was very isolated as a child whereas Josie seems to make new friends everywhere she goes.

Josie has a best friend named Squiggly (her real name is Samantha but her surname is Lines so her friends & family call her Squiggly) that she’s joined at the hip with growing up, and they have a little group of friends!

When she gets to her teens, I think she’d have close friendships with a couple of friends rather than a group of friends like she’d had growing up, but I think she’d be more than happy with that still.

Is she someone who is shy and quiet at home and social butterfly in school or vice versa?

She’s very social both at school and at home! She’s very chatty and has a lot of energy, particularly as a kid. She can talk a mile a minute and she often talks with her hands the same way Robin does. (In fairness to her, Steve and Robin are utter gossips with each other and she grows up in that environment.)

She’s not shy, but she’s cautious around strangers, and she also eavesdrops on the adults’ conversations so she has reservations about certain people when she meets them. Nancy, for example, she’s often heard talked about, but she doesn’t meet her until she’s six and a half, so she’s quieter around her until she can figure out Nancy’s deal. (Which is also a little bit funny because her favourite person ever—after Robin—is Mike.)

How do the four handle her school days?

Robin takes her to and from school most days — she usually drives her to school and then they walk home together because it gives them one-on-one time each day. I think when she’s a bit older they split the days so everyone gets time with Josie and the opportunity to have time with other people in their lives.

Once Robin starts dating Nancy things shift a little as Nancy adjusts into their lives so sometimes Steve and/or Eddie take her to school and pick her up. Nancy also does more of the school runs early on to try and get to know Josie better (which Josie loves because Nancy has such bad road rage and she’s trying so hard to keep it under control).

Is someone super involved while someone else just shows up when they’re told to for different recitals and family things?

They’re all pretty involved! Robin’s her mother so she’s the most involved person, but Steve and Eddie are a close joint-second since they’ve been there from the start. Josie’s other mom, Val, shows up mainly for events (once they’ve reconnected) or for support, which is fine with her.

Nancy finds herself attending more and more events while she’s reconnecting with Robin and then is also pretty involved once she actually takes on the stepmom role and starts dating Robin. A few of the others also attend the events they’re able to — Mike, Dustin, Erica, Lucas and Max in particular try to support whatever they can of hers in their own ways.

There’s an unspoken agreement that Robin always gets first priority, since Josie’s her kid, but often if there’s only a spot for two people to attend something, Steve, Eddie and Nancy will work out who should attend what so none of them really get to miss out.

[nerves-nebula]

kinda hard to write certain kinds of csa/cocsa scenes because even when its explicitly based on my life it feels... idk... fake?? i feel like if i showed it to someone theyd be like "why did this happen this way, this doesn't make sense" or something.

like the scene im struggling with rn is one where an older teen kind of pressures a younger one into showing each other their genitals through like peer pressure, with no physical violence or anything. but it's genuinely hard for me to feel like this makes sense despite having both experienced similar situations and KNOWING that a lot of other people have as well.

cause the critical reader who's never experienced this might just be like "I don't get it, why didn't they just leave or say no? they weren't being physically threatened and they clearly felt uncomfortable" and its like !!!

WELL SOMETIMES YOU DO THINGS YOU DONT WANT TO BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING PRESSURED AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO THINK AND YOU KIND OF JUST FOLD AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT OVER WITH AND YOU'RE ALSO KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT IT'S LIKE IN THE FIRST PLACE CAUSE ADULTS DON'T TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT A LOT AND YOU DONT EVEN REALLY REALIZE UNTIL LATER HOW BAD IT FELT EVEN THOUGH YOU KIND OF FELT WEIRD AND SWEATY WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING AND YOU DO IT AGAIN LATER BECAUSE IT WASN'T ALL BAD AND IT KIND OF FELT WEIRD BUT MAYBE GOOD IDK AND THIS PERSON IS NICE AND AT LEAST THEY LIKE YOU AND ARE BOTHERING TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU WHEN NOBODY ELSE WILL AND

and idk if im a good enough writer to really. make that clear. yknow? it's a lot of stuff to keep track of and. aaaaa. and i dont even have anyone to really give me artistic feedback on my writing. guh.

[dolokhoded]

hi sorry for bugging you, but i love your peanuts art! also do you have any random peanuts headcanons? i’d love to hear them

but of COURSE !!! here's a bunch of them.

schroeder has autism, that's pretty standard i've seen a lot of people say it, but it's the realest headcanon ever. best autism rep schroeder peanuts.

also marcie has adhd. that one has no basis i just decided it

the whole gang declared some random day snoopy's birthday when they were little and they celebrate is every year even when they're older. it's not even his real birthday. but he gets presents from everyone so it's okay.

(charlie brown probably knows his real birthday too he just didn't bother)

violet is aromantic and randomly came out to schroeder at senior prom and then she was just like. "this conversation never happened btw."

(semi-came out anyways. she didn't really have a term for it but you get it)

lucy really likes to sing ! she's not like aspiring to be a singer or anything but she enjoys it and she's pretty decent at it

rerun and lucy argue a lot more than linus and lucy did once he grows up a little. of course it's just a sibling thing and they really love each other but just like

in my brain, linus is like maybe 2 or 3 years younger than lucy and rerun is about 5 or 6. so imagine that when lucy is at the end of high school and really getting serious and working hard because you bet my girl has ambitions

rerun is a tween. have you ever met the unbridled chaos and horror that is a tween boy.

he's definitely the problem van pelt child. but he's great we like him

i <3 the van pelt siblings

ooh this is such a cliche but schroeder was lucy's emergency prom date. y'know that trope in literally every teen media ever that i never really got until derry girls

lucy's asshole boyfriend broke up with her like. an hour before prom because he was in love with another girl

(this guy's not a Complete Asshole in my brain he was just. In A Situation too. i dont know why i've given him so much thought but he has redeemable qualities, his relationship with lucy was pretty decent before that happened and he was TRYING HIS BEST OK !!!)

and lucy completely Loses it because 1) her boyfriend was in love with another girl the entire time 2) she has no date anymore 3) she cant show her face to prom alone after this that's EMBARASSING LINUS 4) she really just wanted to go to prom

so linus sees all of this going down and he rings schroeder and he's like hey schroeder what's good

and schroeder bolts to their house. in astronomical speed. then acts like he's totally chill about it he's just trying to help out his friend

tee hee i care them

this was not supposed to be that long but then i started rambling about their senior prom anyways that's all thank u for the ask bye

[bluegarners]

any tips on how to write?

hiya anon!

im probably not the best source for this particular question, i can only offer personal experience and advice youve probably heard a million billion times. i would suggest going onto youtube or just the internet in general with this question and look for sources with professional writers/those who have the kind of genre expertise youre looking for

academic writing is not my forte- i can write a research paper, but im definitely not a source to seek advice for it

creative writing is what i mainly do, and a lot of it is fictional creative writing. ive been writing since i was about 7 or 8, and that came about due to meeting a friend who shared a mutual love for the warrior cat series by erin hunter. we wrote about our own oc's and made up our own clan, and at the time, we had no idea that what we were doing was called fanfiction. it was just a fun outlet for us that we only shared with each other, and it wasn't until a little later when we were a tad older did we start writing more original works. it was actually around the time that unbroken (that 2014 war film) came out that we both got really interested in writing war stories, so that was a new horror/thriller genre we got into. my writing path has essentially been fantasy -> fanfiction -> thriller to present day, where i do still dabble with thriller/horror but i mostly write fanfictions

so, all of that to say, what i learned from all of that is to love what you love and extend your creativity to it, and then beyond it. read or watch things you like, explore different but adjacent genres, find a favorite author or movie producer, remember certain lines or phrases or story-tellings, and just tinker around a bit. i didn't start sharing any of my writing until well into my teen years because i was still learning, and although thats perfectly fine to keep your writing to yourself until youre comfortable, if you want to improve, then taking the risk of judgment is necessary!

however, i've also just always had a natural predilection towards writing. you could say i am "right brained" since reading and writing have always been very natural things that i also happen to enjoy! not everyone is going to have a natural "closeness" to writing, even if they do enjoy the process of it or like to read, so some people will need to put forth more effort than others to achieve the desired result

writing is hard work- it takes a lot of brain power sometimes and can be very tiring. i get burned out all the time, from both reading and writing, and sometimes it can be difficult to enjoy things since im always looking for inspiration or ideas on what to write and how to write it. but dont get discouraged if the process is more difficult than expected! like anything you do, of course it takes practice and time and effort. ive been told a couple times that people wish they could write like me, and though im flattered, it took a long time to get where im at (over a decade) and i am still very much striving to improve and find ways to expand my creativity!

writing is just a hobby for me, so i dont take it as seriously as a professional writer might. i write because i enjoy it and its a great way to connect with others, but when it gets too stressful or im no longer happy doing it, i stop writing and i take a break. i can do that because this is a hobby for me and thus no obligations are being tied to my production rate, so if its the same for you anon, i would encourage also not to take any of it too seriously!

it's all well and good to hone a craft and try to be the best at it as you can possibly be, but dont let it stress you out if youre not the best or the fastest writer out there. this is life, and we're all just trying to have a good time, so why stress about it, you know?

[lesbian-boo-radley]

Did anything in particular inspire the bdth series? Whats your favorite scene? What hurt the most to write? Would you expand on anything youve already written but just dont have the time for?

Nothing like super particular inspired it. When I was in my teens I did date a much older woman but it had very little similarities to their relationships beyond the age difference. This is kind of a, "I wish it had been like this" story a little bit. As for my favorite scene, it is either when Regina shows up at Emma's doorstep in The Hail Mary or in the White Castle when Regina sees Emma's bedroom and immediately offers to help her get it cleared out. As for anything that hurt to write, it was def painful in the Rise Before the Fall to write the last scene where they part ways, but the most difficult scene for me to write is still on the way. That will be when they go up to Regina's father's "hunting lodge" to clear out the art there and Regina has a full break down about how much she misses her father and describes what his death was like to Emma, like the week that he lingered in the hospital and holding his hand when he died. And for expanding on things I really haven't left too much out. I think the only thing that I wish I had spent a little more time doing was talking about the rift in Storyrbooke between the Enclave citizens and the rest of them. Like how they perceive each other if that makes sense? OH and the blackmail that Regina found in Mary's safe was originally going to reveal that Mary's mother was not who they said she was. It was going to be like Leopold and her parents had used a dead older sister's birth certificate in place of hers because she was younger than 16 at the time they married, but I decided to drop that in favor of Leo boning Ingrid lol

[steelycunt]

what kind of bedding do u think r and s would have. both individually and as a couple. or even take it a step further and tell us what their bedrooms as a whole would look like xxx this is my fav hobby

there has been so much bedding talk floating around the dash of late good god. i have to admit all the different. bedding terminologies confuse me but. in terms of the general characteristics of their bedding r has very ratty low thread-count sheets and his duvet is always pilly and probably. a navy or a grey or a white or a sad green colour. also maybe he has a quilt or a knitted blanket or something from his mam. whereas s might go a little more upmarket (it is worth it 2 him) and go for something a bit more luxurious xx he would buy silk sheets if he thought he could do so without his friends (rightly) making fun of him. as a COUPLE um i think s buys their bedding so its better quality. mostly white. two pillows each. probably some blankets tangled up there too when it is cold.

as for the bedrooms! actually so annoyed because i KNOW i VIVIDLY REMEMBER answering an ask about my thoughts on r's bedroom ages ago but after scrolling through my archive for like half an hour i still cant find it. but the long and short of it is for r i think his decor is pretty minimal i think. some posters + pictures bluetacked on the wall as a teen and probably lots of books and records and general clutter but. he moved around a lot as a kid i think he would not put an awful lot of effort into decorating his space beyond the basics especially as he gets older. whereas canonically s had a ton of posters up and i think he would put more effort into making his room his own especially growing up in an environment where he was very rarely free to express himself. his room is his little dominion. also i think he would enjoy collecting things from charity + antique shops to go in his room i think he'd have a nice rug for example. ive said b4 i imagine him being quite neat but not necessarily clean and i think that would reflect in his bedroom. and as a couple who share a bedroom!! decor-wise it would be more s than r but also generally just very cluttered and also probably messier than either of their individual bedrooms wouldve been. they would share so much stuff, like clothes, to the point where they dont really distinguish between what belongs to one and what belongs to the other. and they also dont put anything away. so there are lots of clothes laying about i think definitely they have one of those chairs in the corner that they dump clothes onto. it is hard to b on the ball about staying tidy when you spend at least seven hours a day gazing motionlessly and silently into each others eyes i expect

[ot3]

This might be a bit of a strange question, but do you have any recommendations for wlw media? I’ve seen & enjoyed revue starlight, but do you know of anything with older lesbians?

unfortunately i don't know a ton off the top of my head in general, or any specifically with older characters :[.

recently i read Foundryside by robert jackson bennett, which was the first book in a trilogy and enjoyed it thoroughly. gay MC i liked her a ton, havent read the rest of the trilogy yet but i really want to. the character is a younger woman although i dont believe she is a teen, if memory serves.

chrono jotter is super super gay and a really fun and off the wall time. the characters here are mostly teens though.

i've heard from reputable sources that clear and muddy loss of love by PDL, who is a chinese f/f novelist, is a good read. that one's on my list but i haven't gotten around to it yet. no idea how old the characters are.

the tv show yellowjackets, which i've only seen a couple of episodes of but have been LOVING isn't exactly f/f media but there is at least one character in the main cast who is married to another woman. it's a show about a girls soccer team getting stranded in the wilderness, and then living with the Results of that i think like 20 years down the line. so it alternates between them as adults and flashbacks to them as teens. even if its not like a lesbian love story its very much about girls and their relationships to each other

here's a twitter thread i bookmarked awhile back of f/f manga/manhua recommendations that i haven't looked into myself yet because i. don't really read a lot of comics but keep pretending like i'm going to.

the flower that bloomed nowhere has a gay mc who is like grad school aged. this is an ongoing, unfinished story though and the mc's romantic life is really not the Point of it although there is some tasty stuff happening there

in general i think i dont know a lot of f/f media because push comes to shove im really not someone who enjoys romance as a genre, and for the most part romance tends to be the main sell for those kinds of stories. and its just not something i look for. hope any of this gives you somewhere to start, sorry thats all i got for you!

even tho i feel conflicted lol i do agree w u ab nora and george. honestly the episode that makes me think that the most is the episode where nora tries to be a SAHM. ik it was played for laughs like "oh he's just lazy and loved the lunches she was making" but derek was REALLY happy that she was home all the time and I don't think he'd ever admit it but I do think he really actually just did love having an active/participant?? mom (bc I dont think abby was ever that for them I mean she doesn't even have partial custody????). not saying she should have quit her job and dropped everything bc that probably wasn't even possible financially honestly and I dont think they're like, bad PEOPLE, but there has to be a better way to handle this...... idk real life is complicated and we can't always be what we want to be and I have no idea what I would even do in their position and ur right when you say they're not the WORST, but still. I really don't know lol this is why I'm kind of conflicted but anyway yeah sorry for all this I just wanted to say I agree 😅

Oh I agree. Life is messy and you can't control everything. I'd get it for Abby and George if Derek and Edwin were planned and Marti was an accident. But if they all were planned. Heres the thing I'm not saying that you can't have kids and a career. However, having kids is a commitment. It stops being about you. Kids come first because anything you do or don't do affects them(For the Venturi family you times that by 3). You choose to bring up and rase this person. So if you have kids and a full time big career you need to be smart about it. Three kids with full time big careers is a lot. Especially if the timing and age of said kids are taken into an account(managing would be more easier if said kids were all closer in age and or older), derek was headed into being a young teen. Edwin is heading into middles schooler and baby marit. It's not surprising that Abby and George got a divorce. If they willingly had three kids with full time careers, than it tells a lot about who they are as people. If I had to guess if marti was planned, she was probably a lets try to salvage a our marriage with another baby baby. Of course didn't work. I also have to guess Abby was the one who worked a lot. And considering the time period( late 90s early 2000s). That is probably what started a lot of fights. My guess is George and Abby divorced because they both worked too much. Casey's parents (different situation but still problem because Casey and Lizzie are not close in age), probably because Dennis worked too much and Nora didn't see him a lot and or the kids if (I had to guess Lizzie is an accident baby). So when she isn't working she and Casey are probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting. During and after the divorce probably a lot was put on Casey and Derek to take care of their siblings considering no matter how Casey and Derek act towards their siblings they still 100% adore them. It's not ideal but as separate situations it could have been manageable( the situation probably would have been better if George and Nora stayed single or met and dated other people who didn't have a family and didn't mind that they did. But obviously not realistic). Nora and George in their infinite wisdom in four months( it would have been more understandable if they dated for at least a year) decided to get married and blend their families. Two teenagers, two kids in a middle school range, and a 5 year old. 5 kids with two adults with jobs. That means in the course of four months they quickly dated, liked each other, "fell in love" and got married. Lots of changes over the course of four months and after. So it's not surprising Derek and Casey have issues. Life is messing of course. But as the adults Nora and George should have done better. Especially since they both divorced parents. But again we are shown that they are oblivious and if I had to guess don't think things through. Which makes them emotionally neglecteful and or careless. Your right they are not bad people. But that doesn't make it ok( not saying you did. I'm rambling) Love your comment to me. I love rambling and the life with derek situation just makes me think.

for the ask game you rb’d from yourself, joker and futaba?

HEH. GOOD MORNING TOWNSVILLE READY TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT MY FAVES MY BESTIES AGAIN. idont know when imgonna be posting this it probably wont be morning. but you know

describe their canon relationship/dynamic

futaba sakura & the person who Saved Her…. futaba saved herself but she would not have had the chance to get there without the phantom thieves. because p5 is a little bit about how you need human connection & friendships & the support of others, to keep you going, to get you through difficulties. futaba needed the phantom thieves because she couldnt get out of the terrible mental place she was in on her Own & she treasures their help so much & Especially. Akira. akira, her beloved human meat shield, the guy who does the talking to strangers in target for her, someone she can trust to push her just enough that its good for her and not overwhelming. her Key Item <3 and he is dedicated to helping her out, usually in the form of standing between her & an intimidating person, and helping her achieve her goals, and telling her what a good job she is doing

your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?

ok i say “theyre siblings” A LOT about characters. I throw the concept around a bit lightly. With Akira & Futaba my full force is behind it. I mean it the same way i mean it with characters who are actually canonically part of the same family. like they are Speedrunning the traditional sibling experience.

They’re literally the PERFECT annoying older brother & annoying little sister duo. They aren’t actually capable of annoying Each Other, but they try it anyway, and their combo damage when they team up to annoy someone else? Outstanding. You wont sleep for a week knowing these 2 teens could be anywhere waiting to bully and prank you.

They are INSEPARABLE <3 not literally. akira does lots of things without futaba & one of futabas Goals is to have the ability to go outside and do new things and interact with new people Without having akira with her. but like. They bonded & now they cannot conceive of their lives without each other. They will never stop being friends because they are like actual siblings to each other. They’re stuck together for life.

basically the version of them from my mind is like them from canon but if akira wasnt a silent protagonist so he got to do more… they bully each other but they also hype each other up a bunch… they collaborate to tease sojiro and shout about curry… theyre a fambly. and they are the autism creature together. sound of akira teaching futaba Brand New Coping Mechanisms For Existing In The World. theyre so. i love them so much.

what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?

As some of my other responses have shown I just really like sibling relationships i thimk they’re neat <3 and i like futaba a lot. and i like akira a lot. and i. *starts crying* Family……. they warm my little heart

what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?

again!!! futaba has a lot of trust in the phantom thieves and gratitude to them for helping her when she couldn’t do it on her own and it goes extra for akira bc hes also the perfect person to go to for just like. all the stuff she needs. stand near me at the store so i feel like im not on my own. hold me to the promises i made & things i want to achieve. and futaba hasnt HAD. close friends in person. in quite a while. so this is so IMPORTANT and GOOD for her.

Akira receives: A little sister. no but for real … the sakura family … we dont like. know anything at all abt akiras actually family but no matter what, like, it is so fuckign good for him that he just gets adopted into this family like this. *slams my fist against the table* as is the case with ALL of the phantom thieves because its the whole POINT, at the beginning of the game akira is without a place where he feels like he BELONGS and the phantom thieves become this for each other overall but it hits different with like. this is his Family now. futaba is his sibling now. sojiro is stuck with these kids now. leblanc is . like. His Home. he has that now. he has Them !!!!!!

favorite interaction they have in canon

oh god i dont know umm. futabas whole confidant is good but idont know that it has any Stand Out Sakura Siblings Moments. maybe um. the scene from sojiros confidant where akira steps in front of futaba to protect her. yeah…………….

favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in

they hang out at the sakura house while sojiro is @ leblanc so they can play world is mine and the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny at max volume. they pester sojiro (ongoing). they annoy so many people together (just imagine. akira futaba and sumi ALL teaming up to bully akechi together. he would evaporate) also see: the ongoing concept from my brain that ive talked about multiple times before thats just. i think itd be really funny if they start talking about themselves & each other to strangers as if theyre literal blood related siblings who grew up together and did not meet for the first time in their teens. okaaaay i guess thats all i just want to see them hang out i love them. thank you <3

[atherix0]

Very exciting news - i converted my main tumblr blog because it was supposed to be a blog for me to try and post about writing and became inundated w minecraft boys so here we are - feral mumbo anon is off anon >:) now i no longer have to worry about hitting the button hehehe

UH SO GRIAN AND MUMBO???? Gayer than hell. Gayer than the devil himself. No normal person sees an ex-engagement gift in their friend's bag and go 'no hes MINE' BOYS THATS GAY YOU ARE BEING GAY

Also all of scars backstory aaaaah. Did i wake up at 3 am and read this again so my thoughts are incoherent at best yes. But lil baby scar and cub were so cuiuuute oh my god two lil 7 year olds just out here makin it til they break it

I do love how the entire time scar was like "I am Aware cub and I share a birthday [i think???], got 🌟 randomly 🌟 paired up as kids, are two entirely different classes, and debuted super early. And hes so smart. And somehow an arranged marriage never crossed his mind. Jesus the DEVASTATION

Also the awkward teen kisses were everything tbh. I love when teenagers are like "*shuffles nervously* i know what im doing" bless them.

But scar???? Telling off the entire elven court in front of them and getting free because of Cleo??? I love it. Brave man, he deserves the world. I cant wait to meet cleo tbh, at least i hope we do. Cleo my beloved. But also i hope we meet the elven king not in a memory because something tells me bird brain and blood brain would do something drastic and dumb, like yell at him. Or punch him. 👌

But also just like, for them to get to sit their and assure scar that their friendship [and love] comes with no strings attached is everything to me. For this to be the moment both grian and mumbo are looking at each other like - "Wait a minute- Scar-?" Cannot wait for them to have that conversation tbh. Imagine looking at your boyfriend, realizing hes got feelings, and being like "oh thank god" if these two dont TALK i am gonna go MAD i am NOT a slow burn girlie pop

Oooooh nice, welcome to non-anon <3 Nice to *formally* meet you~ <3 If only I could be main blog </3

They are SO gay Grian really saw that old engagement jewelry and was like "break it break it breAK IT-" his first thought was really "hold up wait a minute just a sec wait Scar's around my age his ex whatever could still be around I don't Like That(tm)" lmao just wait until Cub actually shows up cough AND YEAH Mumbo was chill until he learned what it meant and then he just. "No" lmao

Writing Elven children is weird cuz you have to find that balance between "super formal society" and "children are children regardless" and just jgfdkl little Scar had my heart while writing <3 little Cub did too ofc just babies <3

[same birth month&year basically but close enough to same day for beings that live 700+ years <3 Elves are so long-lived that it's not UNusual to be born in the same year but definitely not the norm, but to be born in the same month is like. Very unusual <3] Have I mentioned that Scar can be so oblivious lmao BUT ALSO to be FAIR to him, he knows absolutely no one who has ever been in an arranged marriage, his cousins are between 5 and 200 years older (the King is his great great great grandfather lmao there's a lot of gens there and long lived species whoo) than him and only a handful of them are married to people they chose so poor thing literally looked at this situation like "Grandfather wouldn't invite just anyone to the Palace especially when he's so overprotective... I'm sure that doesn't mean anything for me specifically" lmao But like. For him it wouldn't have been that BAD if they had just TOLD him, because if he had known from the start he'd have seen it as him and Cub making the best of an unfair situation, but because he was never told until the engagement day every Moment(tm) between them felt like a LIE which </3 Hurts so bad- Also Scar being aware of the class difference I knew needed addressing at some point which is also why it's important that Cub made the first move, even though Cub was already aware that he would end up marrying Scar and Scar wasn't kfdsjlk

hgjkfdgjk precious children just trying to act like mature grown ups but at the end of the day they're still teenagers who have no clue what they're doing and share awkward nervous kisses <3

The fact that literally the only people who TRIED to stop him were the King, his mother and to a degree, Cub (though what was Cub going to say, I wonder...) even though the Court was full of their most immediate family? I mean. If that doesn't speak to something Scar hadn't noticed at the time- :) Cleo really had this little knobby teenager come to them with an engagement piece in his hair and break down about how his entire life has been a lie and everyone he thought loved him was just using him and said "This is not happening. Nope, not happening. Run, kid" Cleo is my absolute beloved <3 I love them. Now I wonder why Scar is so hesitant to meet up with them... :) Haha we definitely haven't seen the last of the Fae King. Unfortunately for Grian and Mumbo, if there is ever an OP character in this series, uh, it's definitely the Fae King. (Not OP enough to save Scar tho </3 rip) And meeting him might not be under the best circumstances... :) I wonder how that will be resolved, huh. I hope everyone understands Unreliable Narrator tag means Everything Is Not What It Seems while also not assuming it means the King isn't an ass at the same time

Yessssss <3 we love a good "no strings attached" love story <3 Just three guys who love each other very much and have no ulterior motives <3 HAHA yes <3 them just looking at each other like "ohh okay I see, this is good" jkgfdlkfdsk NOT A SLOW BURN GIRLIE how have you survived 90k+ words without a single Scar-Kiss <3 Did the accidental flirting and the bite tie you over my friend <3 hhhahjfd-

[quintonxwebber]

excuse me did you see CASEY DEIDRICK  around palmwood studios? oh no, that was QUINTON WEBBER, the 34 year old actor who plays SHOW CHARACTER EDWARD FLITZ on Beautiful Small Untruthers. yeah, you know rumour has it he/she's - TREACHREOUS,  and -MANIPULATIVE , but his fans all say she’s + CHARISMATIC, and + EASY GOING. around palmwood studios he/she’s known as THE THE TALISMAN. ( CISMALE, HE/HIM )

tw:drugs/death/abuse/adoption

FAMILY LIFE

quinton’s family life wasn’t anything to brag about. he grew up in a pretty poor part of town with a father who was addicted to drugs. a mother who passed away due to drugs. once his mother passed away his father had gotten heavier into drugs and once he went down that rabbit hole he had became abusive towards quinton. it wasnt until q was in third grade when his teacher had asked a few questions that lead to children services. q had went into foster care for a few years before his father’s rights were terminated. quinton was given a shot at a good life when he had gotten adopted by a famous couple. q went from having nothing to having the world. with the significant change in his lifestyle as he grew older he grew into a big spoiled asshole. his parents paved his acting career and when he was younger he had played in cute little teen shows. however the older he had gotten older he didnt grow out of it when he got casted in the beautiful small untruthers as Mr. Flitz.  

PERSONILTY

quinton is a the type of guy who can fit into any situation. he has zero issues making friends and talking to people. he is a really flirty man by nature. most of the time he doesnt even realize that he is flirting which gets him in a lot of trouble when he is in a relationship. at times his temper can cause him a lot of issues and it is nothing for him to be seen by the news media showing out and acting a complete fool especially when he drinks. q is very materialistic and only likes the best of things in his life.

RELATIONSHIPS

he typically struggles with keeping relationships because he isnt always the most honest and loyal man. however it isnt very hard for him to get into relationships seeing how flirtatious and charming.

CONNECTIONS: *if you want something not on here pls let me know these are just a few on my mind*

OPEN:

And now we lie awake, making beautiful mistakes: the girl that q keeps cheating with when he is in a relationship. the two have NEVER been more than just that however they do care for one another but it always seem to be a secret hookup (that they deny to everyone yet it still gets outted to the world)

I can’t let you be next to me: ex that broke his heart, any time he is around them he is just shady/salty. this can be worked on together. this is more like the could have been .

But is that a good thing? ‘Cause girl, I can’t be your man: booooty call. the two just typically call each other when they are lonely and just want a rebound or to just have a quick hook up. nothing more nothing less.

Hah, best friend, you the baddest and you know it: long term best friends

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies: These two just dont like each other. could be co workers, could have worked on a movie/tv show together before and just dont click. anytime the two are around each other just constantly arguing and bitching at one another making those around them miserable..

TAKEN:

Got me looking so crazy in love: an on again off again *toxic* relationship. the two are constantly in the media for the craziness that goes on in their relationship be in q cheating or the two publicly fighting outside a restaurant or bar. the two will break up only to get back together and then break up again. it is a circle that doesnt seem to break. grace

From the plane to the fuckin’ helicopter: party buddies, if there is going to be a big party or some kind of gathering where q is going to get shitty this is going to be the person that is going to be with him usually 90 percent of the time cam

[insertcoolnameherethanks]

I was sitting here thinking about the neighbors I've had and thought I'd write it down and categorize it. Of course these aren't ALL the places I've been but these are the most interesting people. I dont talk to people unless forced into situations. A lot of my neighbors I never met, but the ones I did? It all is very American it seems...

My childhood home

• This neighbor was a stereotypical "crazy cat lady". She fed all the neighborhood strays and had names for each of them. She may or may not have beat a few teens who were torturing a cat. She definitely was sweet and would randomly bring us vegetables out of her garden. She also helped child me break into the house when I accidentally locked myself out when I was home alone. She gave me plenty of tips on that topic.

•The other neighbor ran a funeral home in the town. We never really saw her. May or may not have been dead already? I distinctively remember playing outside once, and it was the one rare occasion she was outside her house. She was tending to her flowerbed and invited me inside, and I followed her in (do not do this). I sat in her kitchen as she had tea and I had some chocolate and chips. We talked, about what I do not remember, but then my mom was outside calling for me. She told me to run along and I left. I never saw her again. My mother claims I never met her or had been inside her house.

My first apartment

•the neighbor directly across from me was a couple? The guy lived there all the time and his gf was there half the time, couldn't tell if she did or didn't live there. They had a cat together that escaped once and just sat on the welcome mat. I never saw them bring anything inside except pizza, and whenever we were in the hall at the same time they were bringing pizza inside, they offered me a slice. I never took one.

•My other neighbor was a younger woman who had her parents over quite a bit, who had hung a ton of Christian and Catholic things on and around her door. I never went to her door, it had an ominous vibe (probably because of the sheer amount of religious items). The woman left these items hanging, but I overheard her tell her friends multiple times that her parents had placed them and she was afraid they would somehow know if she took it down. Her parents did not know about who she brought over. She was in an open relationship and her and her partners could get very loud (good for them tho, sounds like they all had a good time).

•The lesbian couple who lived a floor above who always went to thrift stores and swaps. They crocheted their own clothes. Were really sweet and gave out cookies. May or may not have been 100 year olds trapped in 20 year old bodies.

The Hotel (stayed at for 6 months for a job i was at, technically still owned an apartment but was never there so i had things delivered to the hotel so technically a place i resided?)

•Seeing as it was a hotel and not a home, there were a lot of transient people, but there were a few regulars. The guy who was there every other week was a corporate worker. I've never seen a living person look more dead. There was zero emotion in his eyes. He flirted and smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. He always used the gym there, but no one ever saw him enter the gym, just leaving it. We got stuck in an elevator once. I was more scared of him then getting stuck on the elevator

• One of the workers always referred to me as Mrs. I am not sure why as I am not married. He was convinced I was. Always asked about my husband who apparently was with me one time. I always was there alone and have 0 clue who supposedly was with me. I also caught this dude smoking pot once. He was harmless.

•The old husband and wife couple who had a little dog. Dog was definitely a mix between a shih-tzu and something else. I never heard it bark but it was very cute. The old woman would always smoke and the husband would always be holding and petting the dog, he wore a Hawaiian shirt.

The Second Apartment

•Older gay couple who jog together. Never seen such short shorts except for in 80s movies. The one is a silver fox and the other has the thickest mustache and red hair. They are cute and hold hands.

•a person I know only by name who's packages always arrive and always disappear without a sign from them. I can be there as the package is dropped off, I leave to take out the trash, and come back and their package is gone. Never met them but I know their name very well. They are a blank space in my mind, I cant picture anyone. They have no face.

•The woman who has a tattoo sleeve and always is recycling boxes. I've never seen someone have so many boxes. Each week she brings more out to recycle. I've never seen anything be delivered to her. I'm still confused.
