#dare i put it in the tag lmao?

[mightymizora]

I just feel so passionately about Gale being absolutely excellent at pre-rehearsed romantic lines, planned romantic gestures, beautiful thoughtful gifts etc. but also being the sort of person who would accidentally insult your mother on a two hour long infodumping rampage, who would accidentally wound you to the core and not notice it or you being angry about it for a good day and yes, the sort of person who would see a crown of extreme power beyond most mortal reaches and fuck you with a far off look in his eye as he definitely thinks about himself in that crown the whole time

[ssruis]

Hi hi i think youre completely right about characterization so I wanted to ask if you have any pjsk fic recs? Thank you :3

Oh god you know not what you have done

Primary ruikasa/emunene focus as is expected on ssruis dot tumblr dot com so keep that in mind but there’s a few gen fics on here.

The world offers itself - thrillingwhiteday (In progress) (ruikasa)

Super underrated… the characterization is so good… saki + rui interactions (I cheered). Lives in my head rent free.

You and a Skull’s Flower - Revelry_in_serenity (In progress) (no relationship focus but there are bg relationships)

Pandemonium gang experiences The Horrors. Recommend the author’s other works as well - Supporting Roles/Lasting Embraces/Overwritten are some other ones I really enjoyed - but I’m Very Intrigued by the plot in this one.

Warm - pyrotechpuffs (One shot) (ruikasa)

Also recommend the authors other works but this is a fave.

Soul to Wreck - sleepieash (In progress) (ruikasa)

Literally anything by helloitsaiza or calculatrice. The characterization/writing… chefs kiss… their brains are so massive. Best stuff in the tag. Rewired my brain. However this is a list of fic recs and not author recs so I’ll link some of my favorites:

Roles - helloitsaiza (one shot) (ruikasa)

Eternal sunshine - helloitsaiza (One shot) (emunene)

Special shout-out because Peak Emunene I’m actually obsessed with it.

Confess, Confess - helloitsaiza (In progress) (ruikasa)

Yours - helloitsaiza and calculatrice (one shot) (ruikasa)

Backstage after the curtain call - calculatrice (One shot) (ruikasa)

To sear the sky - calculatrice (One shot) (ruikasa)

A study in performance - calculatrice (One shot) (ruikasa)

Funhouse mirror - calculatrice (in progress) (no relationship focus, wxs & niigo)

Special shout-out because tsukasa + mafuyu body swap is such a galaxy brained idea

Rui’s doki-doki seishun school life - calculatrice (one shot) (ruikasa)

^ read all of these they go so hard 10/10

Because it’s you - sleepy_macchi (one shot) (ruikasa)

Act I of our story - Asteromeda (one shot) (ruikasa)

The show must go on - literallyjustsomeguy (in progress but it’s been like 2 years so it might be abandoned) (ruikasa)

I don’t like recommending stuff that may remain unfinished but I’ll make an exception for very funny tsukasa tenma stupidity moments

X marks the spot - seatrix (in progress) (ruikasa)

Underrated… love the characterization & plot.

Voted most likely to run away with you - eightyeightstars (one shot) (ruikasa)

Sharing is caring - underwaternature (one shot) (ruikasa)

Tête-à-tête - kuiperbelts (one shot) (ruikasa)

Also recommend the authors other works I just really like the tsukasa characterization in this one

All I want (is you) - sorasekai (one shot) (emunene)

Recommend their other works as well for good emunene

Ikanaide - gummysaur (finished) (tsukasa focus, gen wxs)

Also recommend their other works but (chefs kiss) tsukasa characterization

Closeness - lyriablackfrost (one shot) (ruikasa)

Find out who you are, and then do it on purpose - weepingstars (transfem rui focus, gen wxs)

And I will still live here - utayoru (one shot) (ruikasa)

Their other works are good as well but this is a fave for the early pjsk days rui characterization

With me all along - jeiseny (one shot) (saki focus, gen)

SAKI… (ugly crying) beautiful exploration of chronic illness. And it doesn’t focus on her fucking brother (staring with homicidal intent @ wider pjsk fanbase). Made me go ouuggh relatable several times.

DO please continue the Blake shadow clone frotting line of inquiry

well if you're gonna ASK me yes fine have my filthy little headcanons but here I'll protect innocent eyes

(following up from this)

I just think that lbr masturbation is 1) probably not an uncommon way for teens of Remnant to DISCOVER their semblances because, y'know, feelings and rushes of emotion, and 2) even if it's not how one learns of their semblance there's no WAY it's uncommon to get a little frisky with it once your semblance is unlocked. THESE ARE TEENAGERS, THEY'RE GONNA.

and like. if you are asking me "did Blake Belladonna, known consumer of So Many Trashy Romance Novels and Haver of a Terrible Boyfriend ever get creative about how she touches herself" I am going to have to assume the answer is a resounding yes

given the fact that Blake's clones don't stay nearly as long as Sun's do I can't assume this is a particularly sustainable or satisfying way to get off but also like. again lbr Blake Loves Edging

feeding yall punk fans tonight 🔥🔥😻😻😻

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

[izzy-b-hands]

Stoned, working myself up to do my T shot (where's Roach to do it for me when I need him?), and instead of getting that done I wrote this thing* instead.

*thing here meaning a more passiveish voice from Ed's POV mini fix it, focusing on Ed's feelings and thoughts and grief and regret in the immediate Izzy being saved but still in early recovery period. Blackhands with the vaguest hint of potential steddyhands.

Please forgive any formatting errors; I'm publishing this on mobile (and will get this up on AO3 too at some point.) I'll try to check later on desktop and address any errors though.

He hasn't washed his hair yet. 

He will, eventually. 

But as long as Izzy's blood is in his hair, there's proof that it's all real. That it happened, and that Izzy is still there and breathing.

It was a very, scarily close call, per Roach. 

But Izzy is alive. Wounded, hurting, but thus far seemingly on the mend. He spends most of the days resting on the ship (anchored near the little island that holds the rundown house they want to make into an inn. As soon as Izzy is better, at least.) The nights, as Jim, Archie, and Frenchie relay it, are harder. They take turns staying up with Izzy, apparently, when he can't sleep. 

He offers to take a turn, be added to the rotation. He means it in genuine goodwill, and out of fear that Izzy might still slip away in the night, somehow. 

Jim's knife is at his throat before he can blink, and that's answer enough. 

There's a lot of blame. Fair blame, but no easier to bear. On himself and Stede for not checking Ricky over for weapons, for having Izzy and others more or less lead the charge when it should have been them. 

On himself, for not moving from Izzy's right away, to let Roach in to work to save him. It hadn't been a conscious choice, though he can't seem to get any of them to understand it. 

Roach had shoved him aside just as he'd caught the glimmer of the ring around Izzy's scarf. And it had made him pause, still in the way, as he had realised he wasn't sure where his matching ring was (with a tiny but pretty amethyst stone.) Rings they'd exchanged years ago now, despite never clearly labeling what they had.

Stede's used the term ‘husbands’ when they've talked in the nights since the escape. To clarify and make sure they're settled on the same page about each other and Izzy and how they're going to proceed. It feels the most fitting word, but it hurts the worst. 

The ring, he thinks, is still somewhere among what little loot they didn't toss or sell. He wouldn't have gotten rid of it, no matter what. He thinks he knows at least that much about himself for sure. 

If he finds it; when he finds it; it might be thin enough to thread into a braid in his hair, or fit over the fabric when he wears Stede's scarf. 

He wants to be wearing it when he sees Izzy again. Not when Izzy is sleeping and unaware of his visits during the day, but awake and maybe willing to talk. 

To let him apologise, practice in action, because if anyone would let him treat their apology as ‘practice’ it would be Izzy. Just so long as he knows it's real this time. 

He fidgets in the wooden chair near Izzy's cot, threading his fingers together, knowing they're clean, but still seeing only Izzy's blood on them.

TOTO NOEL IS A LOST VOCALOID LET'S GOOOOOO

no but actually this song is nice :3

[creekschaoscorner]

Putting this one under the cut bc it’s probably the most suggestive thing I’ve ever drawn and I’m a coward. (It’s really not that bad they’re both fully clothed and they’re not even kissing, I’m just super ace + autistic and unable to discern what counts as suggestive or not. This is just a drawing of one guy on another guy’s lap)

Anyways I’ve been calling this drawing “what happens when you leave a mentally ill queer man and a very bored devil alone in a cell together for about a decade”

hi. is this anything

[yaschiri]

-Walks in-

Hey. Hi. It's me again.

So this is about Rick Shades.

Rick Shades absolutely ADORES proshippers.

He thinks you're all funky and quirky and worth being friends with.

He'd stay up all night sharing secrets and life stories and building bonds with you. Rick Shades would proofread your fanfics and give you art tips (both of which are useless, but so thoughtful).

He'd tell you how happy he is to know you, how thankful you've become friends, how he'd do anything to care for you and make you happy!

He'd cheer you up with a song or a joke, and would reassure you that you're a good person if you're proship. He would tell you, being proship isn't bad. Being mean to someone over their fictional preferences is a jerk thing to do.

Rick Shades would talk shop about your headcanons, your AUs, your lore, because he LOVES proshippers.

Rick Shades love proshippers.

And that's a fact.

Sword has developed another Expensive Interest

The joke of the last five years has been the number of extra-niche things I've developed an interest in that, coincidentally, involve a Sack of Cash.

1. Selvedge denim

2. The Good Athleisure Blanks

3. Goodyear-welted boots and shoes

4. Thinkpads

5. Physical media in general, Blu-rays in particular

6. Japanese "American Traditional" clothing

7. Handheld video game emulators

8. Physical books, again (McNally Editions feel so good in the hand, and they're sewn!!)

And now it's clown hours since I'm poking around KEH interested in picking up a Micro Four Thirds camera and some prime lenses, lmao

I just would like a camera whose settings I can really get into (and a bigger sensor so that my pictures have a better chance of looking good). Computational photography is only doing so much for me... And the shallow depth of field it tries to generate often just looks like ass to me, on top of making things look fake-sharp a lot.

My mind, though. I'm trying to justify it to myself like "well, I can take my own ref photos for it! I can photobash my own architecture photos for backgrounds in my art! wouldn't it be great to have my own pictures of body diversity to reference?", but also I know it would also be Sexy Selfies Central. 🤡 I can't exactly claim a completely noble stance here.

But also, I'm so tender about approaching this because I know there's a high chance I'll just blow out of this hobby in a few months.

Used equipment prices don't look too bad, though... I could pick up a camera body and a prime lens for relatively low and blow my phone's pictures out of the water, based on specs.

And it's not like my other expensive interests didn't pay me dividends. I'm still into most of them, and only sunk money into a few introductory pieces for each (with the exception of Blu-rays, since I've amassed a nice little personal collection). The clothes and shoes have really made me think about who I give money to, and who I want to have my money in a world where the fashion industry can be such ass. Physical media is helping me hold onto copies of properties I love that I kept losing access to over the years with streaming. My Pokemon Pinball score is astronomical now.

Ahh, but also, there's always the thought that I could just be very bad at photography, too. There's a part of me that hopes my idea of composition in art would help with my photography sense, but I know there can't be a complete overlap in those areas.

Still. Art, for me, has always been about stories in single illustrations or in sequential art, like comics. Photography feels like a chance to do it from another angle.

Well. If I end up posting 78 images of the local tourist trap, we'll be able to trace it back to this post, TV police procedural style. Get 'em, coppers!!
