Me visibly shaken after reading And Then There Were None, in one go: Christie you madwoman

[deoidesign]

For my birthday... read my webcomic! It's literally free! (Unless you want books. Those are not free)

It's beautiful, it's gentle, it's funny, they're canonically t4t and gay... And it's about time traveling vampires solving supernatural mysteries!

I've spent thousands of hours writing and drawing it, and it's really good! I'm not biased!

It's on hiatus right now and coming back in 2 months, so it's the perfect time to get caught up

sorry babe can't talk rn i'm letting another fanfic completely overtake all of my waking thoughts

(it's "Methyl Nitrate Pineapples" and its sequel "Cherry Bomb Alchemy" by @fablecore (razbliuto on ao3) if you like One Piece OC stories and one (1) emo Surgeon of Death you should go read it too)

[definitelynotshouting]

I just binged your whole hunger au and your prose and structure and literally everything is so masterfully done AHHHHH!! eagerly looking forward to the next update! do you have any particular inspirations for your writing/storytelling style?

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 THIS IS SUCH A SWEET MESSAGE WAUGH THANK YOU ANON,,,,

oh gosh honestly i get inspiration from all over-- my style was sorta cobbled together from a bajillion different sources that i cherrypicked what i liked from and then evolved it from there. A lot of it probably comes from growing up on fantasy books published in the 70s-80s, tbh; theres a very particular cadence to many of them that i think echoes in my writing quite a bit. I also uh, read Beowulf when i was 11, so that may have had something to do with it too 😅😅😅

Its funny looking back on things from my childhood and seeing where a lot of inspo comes from-- i also grew up reading norse and greek mythology so im pretty sure some of the poetry of those storytelling conventions rubbed off on me. I definitely know there are a few fic authors out there whom i shamelessly incorporated bits and bobs of their writing styles into mine because i loved them so much. But yeah its basically a giant melting pot of different inspirations in here SKDNWKDNSKS thank you for the question!! :DDD

anyways my friends activated my conlang brain and I've made smth insane as usual

red is influences, blue is Elezen-family languages, green is like a mix bc I see the Alliance cities as having a trade language (that critically is limited to them).

I see Duskwight as a separate language from Black Shroud Elezen (but sharing a lot - easy enough to learn for those speakers). Coerthan and all its derivatives are a whole different language under the Elezen umbrella and isn't mutually intelligible with BSE. Because they split so early, they probably don't share much more than root words and etymologies; within the same family so not difficult to learn for other speakers of Elezen languages, but very distinctly different.

(also I'm not listing them but the branches extend to include other diaspora Elezen languages)

wait just kidding i have more to say

mgs is difficult to analyze. it’s extremely hard to watch a mgs cutscene and understand what kind of character emotions you’re supposed to be feeling from it in the moment. the story isn’t exactly character driven in that the characters’ relationships are mainly established offscreen or through exposition or both, often using shorthand (we care about the boss because she has a maternal vibe which kojima exploits for an emotional payoff; the boss isn’t a strongly written character, her relationship with snake isn’t organic, she’s a walking talking thesis statement on wars and borders). her and snake’s relationship in the game consists of her explaining her motivations to him and him reacting to it, then she defects and he asks her “why did you defect?” about a thousand times until she explains herself one more time and then he kills her. there’s nothing like “remember that time we worked together in xyz place,” they have no inside jokes, no flashbacks of them training or working together, it’s all meant to be filled in by the player and perhaps their own memories of their mother or some other mentor figure they have in their life. the same applies to ocelot. he always, always wears gloves (classic trope for concealment/hiding something) and he NEVER explains himself in his own words or if he does he uses half truths or ambiguous wording, or is obscured from the camera or the viewer in some way (x).

we’re not meant to understand ocelot’s intentions based on just what appears in the games themselves. and at the same time it feels like…cheating, almost? to take words from kojima that appear outside the games (even if they did come from kojima himself) and say “this one interpretation of the words is definitively what was going on”

because metal gear is not really about what kojima says outside of the games. mgs is not meant to be clear or unambiguous. the stuff on screen is just one half of the story; by design, half (more than half?) of the story comes from the player: from from the player’s decisions and preconceived notions and lived experiences. metal gear is about the player’s interpretation of intentionally vague storytelling. THAT is why kojima relies on movie tropes for shorthand. he makes games that can easily be interpreted in a variety of ways and that is the Point!! by the nature of the very thing there isn’t a clear answer as to whether or not ocelot’s love for bb is romantic or not. but regardless of whether or not it is, ocelot STILL did everything he did for bb and died for him in the end. there is no easy answer and there is no correct interpretation. thanks

any kinktober news? asking for gay and avorah reasons

never taken part before. also, generally speaking, i don't find these events, they find me 😂 so unless someone puts it on my dash or asks me outright, chances are i'll miss it.

if you've got any specific prompts though, let me know. i've been struggling massively with writing these past couple of weeks, so if you want to throw anything my way, it might help.

anyway, thanks for asking. i appreciate it. xx

coming with a peace offering: bullying M and also Slade discovers anal toys after a night with Dick and starts using them :3

Slade could admit that it had been irresponsible of him to shove one of Nightwing's training batons up Grayson's ass, but at the moment it had seemed like a good idea. A good idea to test how far he could stretch the kids ass around his cock and how full he could stuff him.

"Next time," Grayson had gasped while he had fucked it into him "We're going to use real toys and I'm going to show you how to use them right."

The promise had been delightful cute, like a little kitten trying to seem fierce.

Even if Slade had been unaware up until that very moment, that there were toys for anal play as well.

In hindsight it made sense, not everyone could find someone to get fucked by, and just as womans had theirs, men sometimes wanted to play with something as well. It just was that well, Slade had never needed it. The thought of letting anyone fuck him had never seemed appealing to him, and if he wanted to fuck someone it was always easy to pick up someone at the nearest bar.

It was different with Grayson though, the brat had a way to get under his skin like very few people had managed. And unlike others he seemed to like to actually actively exploit it.

Slade had learned many new things abotu himself over teh course of their... transactions of intimacy, to put it simply.

So now that he had time to think itproperly over he found the thought intriguing. Not that he ever would admit it to Graysons face but perhaps, if he played his cards right the brat would just show him all about it.

"Write the fics you want to read," they say, while completely failing to account for how painfully cringe-inducing it can feel to read your own writing back years after the fact 🥲

I think it really says something about how great this scene is that, even here, in an inferior form, it still gets me hyped as shit
