#do not hit readmore if ya wanna

[misquigleya]

thoughts below my dudes spoilers be extra heavy

getting some big ole "lost" vibes from that whole freezing to death scene with lottie, don't know how i feel about that cause "lost" fucked us over in the end and i'm still not over it all these years later. so. yj writers...don't let me down

akilah was precious with the little mouse / shrew ( not exactly sure what it was but it was cute ) and her being the only one really semi-clinging to "normalcy" with still studying for the STATS? i'm rooting for you bby girl pls do not follow in mari's footsteps

speaking of mari....girl if you find yourself wondering why you were chosen for the next bbq....think back to all the BEEF you were starting and having with everyone in that cabin like a;sdklfj pull your head out of your ass lmao

benny boy, my dude, my home-skillet....pls don't ask the "vicious monsters" what they would have / will do if you're chosen / selected for the next feast cause that just not a good thing to be putting in their heads. also you should have used your crutch against mari cause girly really be squaring up with you like ma'am that is a full grown adult man...sit your ass down

LAURA LEE PLEASE COME BACK CAUSE YOUR GF IS LOSIN IT BABES like...lottie really does need a voice of reason and i think that's what laura lee was to her aside from the og believer and thinking she [lottie] had a direct line to "god" with knowing what's up with the wilderness and shit

....javi being alive was not on my bingo card but i don't think he's completely out of the woods ( ha ) just yet cause it's still possible that he could not have been one of the, i'm assuming, 8 survivors. but we shall see but i know for certain that nat's gonna get an ear full from travis / the others cause of the whole "finding" his [javi] pants in the tree. but i had a feeling that it would come back and bite her in the ass...just not in the form of javi being alive

i love vanessa palmer so much like that's my butch lesbian <3 love that they own a little shop and it looks like it involves their interests, etc. absolutely love it for van

tai you need to talk to someone and i hope you actually talk to van about like....everything leading up to you just randomly showing up to their place of business which....other tai seems to be in more control???? like the whole breaking into jessica robert's place and finding the info to find van then "waking up" on the side of the road with no gas. way pass sleep walking and eating dirt and that don't sound good nor could it mean good is to come of it

shauna and jeff, mom and dad, you need to get it together but i'm with jeff in the way that shauna should not have told callie that she killed adam, that jeff knew, and helped get rid of the evidence. like it just...SHE'S TALKING TO A 30+ YEAR OLD CREEPO COP which i get it, she doesn't know that but still. she's already leaked that shauna did have an affair with adam and that just shines some shit light on shauna and jeff and just....baby what is you doin

something that was on my bingo card and that is having me squinting even harder at walt is the whole story about him having won a settlement and "surviving" an accident. also proclaiming himself to be a millionaire???? oh you mean hottie lottie's bread and jam aka the type of folks that come to cult camp???? nah. walt has def gotta be involved someway cause it makes sense; lottie knows how misty is/was and she could have seen that walt was the same ( if he wasn't fucking coached to be that way ) and pointed him in misty's direction cause it could be the perfect way to get misty to the cult camp though i'm sure misty would have found a way to get HER WOMAN back one way or another

and now to the biggest thing i have screamed with the wifey ( @scatcrccio ) ....if these writers are dicking me around with mistnat/NaSTY being a thing after teasing it so fuckin hard last season oN TOP OF THE ACTORS BOTH SHIPPING IT....i will get violent. it's giving me too much whiplash and flashbacks to killing eve and i just can not go through that kinda shit again. so if tHE WRITERS COULD PLEASE JUST EASE UP ON THE POTENTIAL SHIPS AND REFOCUS ON MISTNAT....that'd be fuckin super duper

....also absolutely no offence to lottie/nat or nat/lisa shippers like you do you boo-boo but i'm delusional and floating down the denial river grasping at mistnat and i need it to be canon okay????

AO3 Questions Tag Game!

I was tagged by @bamsara (on my main @onethirdofimpossible but most of my readers follow me here for cotl stuff so I'm posting it here)

I tag @i-eat-deodorant and @megsiepoo!

Under the readmore because this is long as shit

1 – How many works do you have on AO3?

69 BAYBEEEE

2 – What’s your total AO3 word count?

213,360 words published

3 – What fandoms do you write for?

Previously: Pokemon (no longer online), Steven Universe, a few Deep-Sea Prisoner games (Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, The Grey Garden, Ice Scream)

Currently: Cult of the Lamb

4 – What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Care and Keeping of Eldritch Gods. Until the rewrite of RL/FG is done, this is my magnum opus

Present My first ever CotL fic. This was the first time I'd written fic in like four years and I was dusting off my writing muscles...

Smitten soft narilamb....

Cat(nip) Boy wrote this for shits and giggles in my early fandom days. The One Who Waits on catnip

How Narinder Takes His Tea First part of the old RL/FG series. Though I'm remaking it as a longform multichap fic, I'm keeping up the old series because of the memories + I don't want other people who saved the old one to lose it.

5 – Do you respond to comments?

All the time! I was able to respond to literally every single comment back in 2022, but as last year went on, I realized I probably can't realistically do that anymore. It's a blessing and a curse.

6 – What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

We already knew how this would turn out. Title not given directly in my answer in case of spoilers. My readers saw it coming because I had built up to it, but I took my time writing the gradual reveal in the last chapter to make sure it landed the way I wanted it to.

And one more comment I won't post here bc (for anyone who wants to read it) spoils the ending but shoutout to the person who physically felt the shock lurch through their body when the realization hit them after the slow build-up.

As much as I love angsty stories with happy endings, what gets me more are stories that are happy at face value, with endings that are heartwrenching because of the underbelly of what lurked beneath that facade.

7 – What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The Risen Lamb and the Fallen God. Bit a spoilers below if you're avoiding that

The original wedding fic (as part of the original series) is up, but it's going to get a good polishing in the rewrite. Lambert and Narinder are going to have a private first dance, Thenana and Narinder are going to have a deeper conversation, Ratau's interactions with Lambert are gonna be shown rather than just told, Aym and Baal will be revived.

8 – Do you get hate on fics?

Mostly no. There was one time last year that I was compared to another writer in the fandom and slowly asks evolved into "your own concepts are being done better by others" and shit, and the other writer got hate messages as well, and... well, it was a whole thing. Don't wanna talk too in detail about it because I don't wanna beat a dead horse but cotl writers have unionized so we got the last laugh I guess

9 – Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

lol ya it's on remainderofreality. What "kind?" uh. experimental because I'd never tried the genre before this fandom and it kinda shows but that's okay.

10 – Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Honestly, I'm not really into crossovers! Unless it's Webber in cotl. He can stay, he's cute.

11 – Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah. It was actually the first fic I posted online, ever. In middle school, I wrote a whole ~100k-ish word self-insert pokemon fanfic, which I wrote by hand in like five composition notebooks, so I never posted that online. But after that I decided to post shorter one-shots for pokemon online, and a few months later I found one of mine reposted without credit. Plagiarized entirely, basically. It scared me and I deleted everything I had posted online, and I don't have extra copies of the works now. :(

12 – Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but I'd be okay with it if I was asked beforehand and proper credit was given!

13 – Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yeah! Of Duty and Devotion is basically a glorified roleplay between me as Aym, @i-eat-deodorant as Baal, @checkplzjuliet as The Lamb, and @surfdudeboy as Narinder. I also wrote Hide and Seek, a cute little Bishop family one-shot, with @lordiedams (hi Damien I miss you).

14 – What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Narilamb. I haven't focused on a ship for this long, except maybe Rupphire back in the day, but I'm fixated so much more on CotL than I was for SU.

15 – What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Honestly, Of Duty and Devotion lmao. I'm much more focused on my own projects and so are Pavi, Surf, and Juliet. I do want to finish it though.

16 – What are your writing strengths?

Pacing, diction, syntax, getting the intended point across and doing it well. Once I commit to doing something, I don't usually let myself "give up" on it, hence why I barely have any unfinished WIPs. That's a skill honed with tons of practice, though. I have massive ADHD, and I'm bad at finishing things, but when it comes to writing by god I'm gonna do it.

17 – What are your writing weaknesses?

I often struggle to get to a point where I'm totally focused in on what I'm writing. It does happen once or twice a month, but honestly, I'm usually so busy with life stuff that I don't get to do that most of the time! I wish I had more time to make room for my hobbies, but alas. At least summer is coming up, and I'll be able to do that more often, hopefully!

18 – Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

It's possible to do it naturally for sure, but I rarely see it done well in fic. I've never attempted it...... or, wait, have I? I guess Thenana's sign language counts, huh? ...I feel like I need to do more research about this topic to answer the question properly.

19 – First fandom you wrote for?

Pokemon <3

20 – Favorite fic you’ve written?

The Risen Lamb and the Fallen God or The Care and Keeping of Eldritch Gods.

Risen/Fallen (and the enemies-to-lovers narilamb dynamic) was like the first thing that I did to make a "mark" on this fandom, and I didn't expect it to inspire so many people for sure! But, the first iteration of the series was so rushed. I wrote the whole thing in just over three weeks and averaged one chapter published every day and a half. Now that I have a better grasp on the characters after playing with them for a long while, I get to see my improvement, and I get to see so many friends I've made along the way sticking with me, the revamped "director's cut" version is definitely on track to be my favorite work.

However. It has yet to surpass Care and Keeping. As the oldest of four kids in my family, I based so much of Shamura on my experiences as an eldest sibling, and many of the experiences the younger bishops had in their formative years on our own childhoods. I based Narinder's childhood off of brother #1's (brother who is two years younger than me), Kallamar's childhood on my own, Heket's childhood on my sister's (five years younger than me), and Leshy's off of my youngest brother's (ten years younger than me). This story wasn't just an exploration of the Bishops and their dynamic/relationship pre-canon, it's also a testament to my own love as an eldest sibling... and all the anxiety associated with that, too.

Thanks for tagging me! Back to working on my presentation...

[skysxng]

hello friends, this blog is going to become my new indie so please feel free to unfollow. eventually, I might do an update to include more characters but for now, I will just be writing as this one. I removed chatri's rise elements and now, he's just a regular great house noble.

in this new world that he's in, people are dealing with a tyrant (like, truly awful joffrey but older style). I am going to start writing at a nice family dinner where everything was great until his father fell over his soup bowl from poison. now, he has to figure out who murdered his dad (is it the tyrant? or is it one of the other houses? what are they trying to accomplish?) & what role he wants to play in the future of his kingdom.

since it's indie, I am also going to write a modern au where he's a famous fortune teller. he actually can't see the future at all but can see the past sometimes so he's been just making up stuff for people based on what he sees from their childhood etc. he's doing this to make money so he can have nice shoes but also to reconcile people with what they had done. a lot of the times, people fear the future because of the decisions they made in the past, ya know.

I might also do another au where he's a vamp who just pays people for their blood because he's hopelessly struggling with hunting the normal way and asks them to tell him stories. that's it, we just rp about listening to stories.

oh, since it's indie, I will no longer tag blood, violence, alcohol and mention of death unless it's more graphic. for example, I won't tag if he's having a casual beer with a friend or got a paper cut from folding cranes. however, if fights get intense, I will make sure to tag and readmore appropriately.

if you have a character that could have fun writing with him, please hit me up. for this nobility thing, I could see interactions with friends, family, household people, other houses or even the tyrant if you wanna write one. for other aus, friends, family, clients. people who want to call out his bs fortune telling. fellow vamps who are like wtf are you doing?

[skypied]

2, 3, 10, 11, 17, 25!

readmoreing 'cause I'm never brief!

2. Did you reread anything? What?

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston! The first for writing inspiration (and yo more fully appreciate the story), the second for fun.

3. What were your top five books of the year?

(in no particular order) One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson... I don't think I can pick between To Paradise VS The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara. And Tingenes tilstand by Sandra Lillebø, to get one Norwegian book in. (Man, I wish it'd be translated into English, that one HIT so DAMN hard and inspired me a lot. The upside to it not being translated is how much I've yoinked from it in my own writing :P)

10. What was your favorite new release of the year?

Young Mungo by Douglas Stewart! I just picked up Nona the Ninth from the library, though, which miiiiight claim the spot.

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

Man, I almost only read books that've been out for a good while, I don't think I'll be able to pick :p that's how it goes when 98% of my reads are library lends!

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Mmm... I read a lot of authors I know I enjoy this year, so there weren't that many surprises. Maybe The House by the Cerulean Sea! That was cute. And Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan, which on the whole I was kind of meh about, but it had a lot of funny and insightful lines.

25. What reading goals do you have for next year?

Hmm, I think I'm gonna continue my project of reding the bibliography of authors I enjoy. I've worked my way through Hanya Yanagihara, Douglas Stuart and Casey McQuiston this year. I'm in the progress of going through Alice Oseman and Ocean Vuong, T.J. Klune and depending on how my current read goes (Babel) I might do R.F. Kuang.

I also wanna reread Jonas Gardell's Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves trilogy - which also unfortunately isn't translated into English, but I think the TV show adaption is possible to find with English subs (I haven't finished the show, but the first ep was good, and based on the books, I have to recommend it, I think). The memory of reading that inspired an on-ice long fic I always wanted to write, I'm hoping rereading it will bring me inspiration.

This year I've been trying to read newer books than usual, and doing more "only for fun" reads, (more fantasy, sci-fi and YA) which I think I'll continue. There are a lot of authors I read more for writing style than fun, and while I also enjoy that, having some fun-reads is also nice.

[kinetic-socks]

Long post expressing my frustration with my procrastination

wake up in the morning like yeah lets get this essay done today

have meal

go to class

ok essay time.

find myself crocheting instead. hey brain, what?

brain: we have time, we'll get it done later dw

well. crocheting isn't as fun now but ok, what can ya do.

ok, we don't want to crochet anymore. essay now?

brain: no let's walk around and listen to music. exercise is good and will help us later.

me: again, it would be nice to be getting work done but alright.

me: hey, I still wanna get that essay done. can we go home and do that?

brain: no. exercise good. shut up.

me: i guess this is what we're doing.

brain: ok we got a cut on our arm while running let's go home and treat that.

me: yeah sounds great. in perfect agreement with you there.

brain: ok, cut is treated. let's nap now *reads comics instead and does more crochet like simultaneously*

me: what is happening

brain: ok NOW let's nap (it is 10:30 pm)

me: is this wise? It's late at night and we haven't done any work, and what if we accidentally sleep too long?

brain: alarm will handle it (it did) and we need sleep or we won't be able to think

me: you make sense but I don't feel great about this

I get back up at like. mignight and am like ok. essay Now.

brain: we're hungry again, eat first. and use the bathroom and change your bandaid it's coming off.

me: eating and using the bathroom and changing the bandaid all sound fine. these are reasonable things for a person to do.

It becomes 4am. Don't ask me how.

me: pleasee. essay now, we wanted to finish it before tomorrow

brain: well, it's either essay or go to bed for the night, which means it's the latest we can start and have it be today, so alright! you can now make yourself take out a pencil and write a bit. but also let's write a tumblr post about this phenomenon to ask the internet if you're just an undisciplined bitch for procrastinating or if i'm the bastard. also good luck making yourself follow any tips they give on making yourself get started because you can't make me do shit. it would be funny to watch you try honestly bc it didn't even work last semester when you got so frustrated with me that you'd start hitting yourself. so I really cannot think of a single way you could ever subjugate me and I will only make you miserable if you try. I will also make you miserable by doing this even if you don't try. This is who we are and you're simply not good enough

me: ok, when I post the post can we do the essay then?

brain: yeah probably. it's almost the end of today so I'll let you get started on it. You wanted it to be today and I understand that. You're right that we don't have a lot of time left.

me: it's not really today anymore but you're right that it still feels like it. thank god for the small mercy that is you letting me do it at all. We've been thinking about it for awhile anyway, maybe we'll enjoy this. Oh and you'd probably fight me like this tomorrow if I did it then, right? We'd turn it in at 7 am instead of midnight?

brain: I might enjoy it but you'll still have to fight me the whole way. and oh yeah for sure I would give you hell tomorrow. I wouldn't let you start it till late at night. that's what we did last time!

me: okay. at least we'll be able to edit it tomorrow after we write tonight. Plus we'll hopefully be tired tomorrow and not the next day when we have more important classes.

brain: should we finish writing tonight it's very unlikely I'll want to edit it tomorrow and you're likely to be satisfied enough that we have anything that you won't call me on it at all. We're probably not sleeping tonight so I'm going to give you a headache tomorrow to compel you to sleep after class and then probably all day and you rarely fight naps because our sleep schedule is so bad you figure we need it. plus yknow it makes sense to sleep after an all nighter.

me: ok but we'll write the essay?? when this post is done??

brain: yeah alright put in a readmore and hit post now.

[magicalcelestialgem]

Hi! Saw you said you weren't sure how to do the read more thingy, idk if you're on mobile or desktop (sadly idk how to do it on desktop) but on mobile it's super easy! You just gotta type:

:readmore:

And it should work! Make sure you hit enter immediately after the second colon, idk if it'll work if there's a space

Also I am going INSANE OVER SONIC PRIME AND I NEED SEASON 2 LIKE I NEED OXYGEN

Huh. I’ll see if it works. If it doesn’t, then I’ll find another way to hide the text. Thank you for the tip!

And also. OOOH I AM WITH YA THERE! I WANNA SAY MORE BUT NAWWW, I AIN’T SPOILING FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN IT!

[moemammon]

So how do the brothers react to an MC who’s strong enough to pick them up and just carry them around bridal style with no issues? Xx

The Demon Bros reacting to a Hella Strong GN!MC Picking them Up

:readmore:

Lucifer

Bold of you to assume he'll let you pick him up. Don't even try to get the jump on him, it's impossible. Everyone knows this.

But if you insist that he lets you, he miiiiiight go along with it. Just to see if you can actually do it, tbh.

Honestly doesn't think you've got the strength to pick up a while grown man.

But fact that you CAN lift him up with ease is just??? Haha you've had your fun now put him down right now.

Now that you confirm that you CAN pick him up, he bans you from doing it ever again. Your puppy eyes will not make him change his mind :)

Mammon

Goes from immediately holding on for dear life, to spitting out profanities in surprise-

"Wh- MC?!?! What do ya think yer- How the hell are ya so strong?!"

REFUSES to let you look at his face. It's not because he's embarrassed or anything, damn it! He was just caught by surprise! Yeah, that was it!

"O-Of course you'd wanna pick up the Great Mammon! ....But couldn't ya give a guy a warnin'?! Thought I was gonna have a heart attack!"

Kinda tempted to use you to make money. He'll set up a little booth, people can make bets on whether or not they think you can lift them... And nobody's gonna believe a human like you can pick up a demon! He'll be rich!

Levi

If you do it in public (assuming he's even outside), he might never forgive you. Let's play it safe and assume you pulled this stunt in the safety of his room.

Ngl he's gonna be jealous of your strength. HE wanted to be the one to pick you up, like in the anime!!!

So when you show off your scary strength, you've got one (1) red-faced otaku in your arms. You can hold him for thirty seconds max. Any longer and he might burst into flames-

Too shocked for words tbh. How??? Are you managing this??? Being strong is one thing but being able to walk around with him in your arms????

May or may not imagine you doing it again some day. He'll never admit that though. Put him down, you stupid normie!

Satan

When you scoop Satan up, he immediately clings to you. You caught him by surprise so what did you expect? He doesn't wanna fall-

There's a 50/50 chance that he'll either find it entertaining, or be pissed. Let's just assume you had enough common sense not to do this around other people

The look on his face is enough to tell you to put him down without him even having to say it, so he's not in your arms for long-

Clears his throat when he's on his feet again, and he's trying to act like those cheeks of his aren't burning red-

Distracting himself from his embarrassment by researching how the hell you can just??? Pick people up so easily like that. Are you really human? Are you secretly training with Beel? Is it your diet??

Might see how he can use you against Lucifer 🤔🤔🤔

Asmo

You already know this boy is all over being carried around like the queen he is. He ADORES the fact that you can lift him up with ease, all romantic like~

Asmo wants you to twirl him around and dip him low, like in the movies. He's already fanning himself at the thought! 💕💕💕

"Oh MC, I always dreamt of you sweeping me off of my feet like this, but I never knew you could actually do it~!"

What else can those big, strong arms do? 😏😏😏

Expect to be carrying him around a lot more often. He's got to show of your strength to everyone he knows! Oooh, he can already picture their faces when the two of you walk into the club, while he's being daintily carried in your arms~

Beel

He's usually the one picking YOU up, so when you pick him up for a change, he's shook-

Beel wants to know where you've conjured up the monster strength. Whatever you're eating, he wants to try it ASAP

You're a lil human,,,,, a wee creature,,, and yet,,,,

Honestly he's more amazed than embarrassed about it. Definitely not used to being picked up by ANYONE. He does ask you to put him down after a while, though-

Wants to know all the details of your workout regimen. If it's good enough that a human can lift someone like him, imagine what it’d do for a demon! Will you be his workout buddy? Please?? 🥺

Belphie

Belphie's probably lighter than his brothers because he doesn't eat much and sleeps a lot, so he's easy to lift. You catch him by surprise, but he's not even fighting it

But you shouldn't have shown him what you're capable of because not he's going to milk it at every given opportunity. Now there's TWO people who will happily carry him around??

"MC, my legs are tired. Why don't you you just carry me up the stairs?" "No? But aren't you strong enough to do it?"

He acts like he's not spoiled, but he definitely is. Tries to find every excuse to be carried by you, but most often when the two of you are alone.

Offers to carry you for a change, but then hits you with that signature "Just kidding."

WHAT IS JRWI AND HOW DO I GET INTO IT?

intro and guide to navigating jrwiblr

"personal" is just my tag for posts not related to fandom shit and/or related to my life, you can reblog em all you want. anything I don't want reblogged will be specified usually

ayup lads its ya boi uhhhhh skinny penis welcome to my intro post (under readmore bc otherwise ill get annoyed w it being long at the top of my blog)

hi my name is zoz, but im also cool w yall calling me whatever (ender, enderspawn, whore? idk man just Refer to me). pronouns are whatever is funniest in that moment (aka any pronouns).

blog is supposedly ""just a minecraft blog"" but its honestly just a fandom blog, with an emphasis on minecraft smps and (recently) the hit dnd podcast JRWI. main smp are dream smp*, hermitcraft, 3rd life/last life, empires, afterlife and related. non mcyt posts are tagged "gen", mcyt posts are tagged w "mcyt" and its related server.

*honestly i've... kind of moved on? but i still rb a lot of content surrounding it, I just don't tend to partake in it actively anymore shrug.

posts i make or add onto are "og posts", asks are "answered", my analysis is "(jeb bush voice) please clap". "core tag" is for posts i wanna tag as my blorbos of choice, so they won't otherwise be related to anything. feel free to ask at any time if you need anything tagged for blacklist or whatever (ex: currently i have tw beastiality and long posts tagged via request)

blog runs on queue, usually the max 50 posts a day i swear i do sleep sometimes (but may be turned down some based on activity)

ALSO if you ship irl creators who arent okay w it or knowingly violate cc boundaries i dont want you here and also consider leaving the fandom mayhaps? or the internet in general?

ALSO also im very bad at answering asks but i am always open to hear yall ramble or rant abt whatever, but my faves is the lore of your fave old/underrated mcyt groups. i am always bewildered and astounded and its great time, plus its great propaganda for me specifically to get into other stuff :]

[lunartearrose]

Here is that skullvin piece i did to rid myself of some art block! I used that nice ingame screenshot i got too. Below in a readmore i have a nice little blurb of au angst(?) i thought up!

Oh, he was going to kill that nerd when he woke up. 

How could someone who claimed he wants order think this was okay to do to someone? How would forcing him to sleep with his stupid radio waves win a battle at all? Fighting his tiredness full-heartedly, Vintage tried his hardest to find a way to wake up. Nothing was working.

On his last resort, Vintage pinches his cheek as hard as he possibly can. He felt like he was getting somewhere for a moment, that maybe he'd be up enough to punch those stupid silver shades off the jerk's face…

But then, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and all at once the rage he built up was swallowed in the fog of this dream. An old friend was staring him in the face - confused as ever, and concerned like he used to be. 

"Don't worry about practice today." His friend said, "the others are sick anyways. Wanna hit the convenience store with me…?" 

It really did feel like reaching a beloved memory he wanted desperately to relive - the kind where he didn't have to worry about keeping up the name of X, when he could have  precious moments with someone… he really missed. 

That dream was much longer than his true reality, that much he knew. What felt like hours browsing for cheap sweets and spices, talking along the way, looking for ways to sneak food out for free - it was only a few minutes in reality. 

He tried continually to remind himself that - this wasn't real, this skull wearing his current gear and treating him so well, it simply didn't exist. But despite what he knew, he found himself hating the idea of abandoning this moment, or telling this skull he wasn't real. Just for a small moment, he wanted to believe what could've been, had they not become obsessed with an idea of power.

On their way out the store, they chatted happily as they walked slowly on the road back home. Skull carried many more bags, proud to show off his physical strength. Vintage smiled, almost genuinely…

And at that moment, his will had started to return, with memories of the present situation. He had a feeling he'd be waking up from this dream soon. 

So vintage moved closer to this mirage of skull. He wrapped his arms around him, and squeezed tightly. It took that skull a moment to register this, just like the real one would, before he hugged back, wordlessly confused. He felt warm, and all too real. 

"I really do wish it was different sometimes…" vintage admits, unusually finding it hard to talk right. "I miss this so much." 

The dream that was skull hummed softly. "You don't have to miss me. We see each other all the time." 

That much was true. They used to walk together all the time… and now, after everything, they still see each other. But they never talk. 

So, vintage simply nodded. "We'll talk again… right?" 

And he feels the skull nod in turn. "Of course." 

Vintage could hear a voice calling. No, several - they were frantic, trying to get him to wake. He gives that skull one last squeeze-

And awakens to a harsh reality. He was on the floor, double-egg supporting his upper half while omega made him drink another sip of water. Even red seemed freaked out by his state. He felt a dampness by his eyes...

As memory of who gave him such a cruel dream resurfaces, vintage is overtaken by a sickly sort of rage.

"Where is that bastard…?" Vintage asks them.

"He took you off his team, like, three matches ago! The guy's an insane jerk, making you go through like 20 matches back to back, and he kept tryin to use you against us when we tried to beat him up!" Red exclaims.

"He's fighting more team chaos now, with a separate team. Goggles,prince, skull, and bobble. They're doing their thing… as you'd expect." Omega explains. 

"Sounds like he's about to get a loss, then." Vintage says as he attempts to stand, "Let's catch the end. Then i can beat that nerd to hell and back." 

But as vintage stood, he suddenly felt a horrible soreness as his legs buckled underneath him. Luckily, eggshades and red were fast enough to catch him. 

"Woah! No more fights for you, i guess!" Red says. 

"I'll keep an eye out for him for ya. For now, i don't think it's good for you to stand…" eggshades says. 

Vintage huffed angrily. "I want to watch the fight at least…"

Omega nods. "I figured as much. I'll grab you a chair. Guys, could you help him move?" 

"Yes ma'am!" His two teammates reply half-sarcastically, and each take part in supporting vintage enough to let him at least feel like he was standing, maybe.

"...Thanks." vintage says, then adds a bit softly, "and... thanks for sticking by me while i was out, too." 

On either side of him, his friends smile.

"Oh? Was that a thank you?" Red says, eagerness clear in her voice.

"How could we not? You're our leader." Eggshades says, sounding like his confidence got boosted a bit more.

"...And as our leader, you're a friend, too." Omega tells him as she returned with a nice little folding chair.

Despite everything, their words brought a small smile to his face. The past was nice to think of, and yes, maybe he could patch things up, but the support he had now definitely has a place in his heart.

"Thanks… now let's watch that nerd get his ass beat."

🔫😃 give us them monster au Majima deets I dare you /hj

I'm invested, I wanna know stuff, like; What was the interaction between Kiryu and Majima like after the reveal? How did Haruka find out? Was it because she lives with Kiryu or did Majima tey to keep her oblivious to it as long as he can because no.?

I WANT THE DEETS AND I WANT EM NOW

(ya don't need ta do nothin if ya don't wanna, take yer time, I just wanna show excitement with this :>)

THANK YOU for the interest I am constantly excited to talk about things and will 100% share what deets I have

(Update: this got... WAY longer than I anticipated. So im putting it behind a readmore. sorry for the wall of text I got very passionate suddenly!!)

disclaimer: I have very little solid 'canon' established and 99% of this will be stuff I make up on the spot cause thats just how I do these things

So, in my head this all takes place after the events of the first game- Kiryu's been to jail, gets out, 10 billion yen drama ect. I think it would be peak drama if Majima accidentally let slip during the fight at Shangri-la that he isn't human, he got so hyped up on the idea of a 'fight to the death' with Kiryu (which, lets be honest, was probably a bit of suicidal ideation on his part because he wanted Kiryu to utterly destroy him) that he couldn't control himself and Kiryu gets an eyeful of claws and teeth and horns. But because things are so fucking manic during that point in the game, Kiryu deadass writes it off as a weird hallucination/'this might as well be happening' because he has WAY too much going on.

it's only after the games finished and Kiryu settles down, decides hes going to adopt Haruka and is trying to get his affairs in order when he's like. Holy Shit What Was Up With That.

Majima hasn't shown his face around him since because he becomes convinced Kiryu seeing that means hes going to despise him and/or try to kill him so he crawls into his hole to mope about it and Kiryu has to genuinely jump through hoops trying to find where he is. He was concerned! Eventually he gets in touch with Nishida who is equally worried about his boss (he knows Majima's secret but is sworn not to tell anyone) so he just. quietly tells Kiryu where Majima is living right now and prays it wont come back to bite him in the ass

He goes, Majima initially attempts to be like 'haha you hit your head pretty hard down there-' and write it off like that but Kiryu is nothing if not persistent and eventually he has a little meltdown about it and finally just shows him. Majimas been in a super weird mental state since Shimano died and hes just like, at his breaking point, so he figures 'fuck it, if Kiryu hates me, whatever' at that point

OBVIOUSLY Kiryu doesnt, hes just like. dude are you okay

they have a long ass talk about it and what happened and it all sort of culminates in an awkward love confession because turns out wow you two REALLY care about each other, huh!

Majima also shares that hes only really still in the yakuza because he feels like its the only place he belongs, that a monster like him doesn't deserve anything resembling a normal life. its that conversation that starts him on the path to realizing he's not happy there tbh

Im SEVERELY rambling at this point but. after a lot of emotional catharsis between these two they promise to try to make something work. majima considers leaving the yakuza, and kiryus going to make a home with haruka. and while hes not ready to join them properly, just yet, he's... thinking about it. in the meantime, he's heard some cool stuff about construction as a business, and he's lookin' into it.

they kept it from Haruka for a while, mostly because Majima is super not comfortable showing people. He didnt spend a lot of time around her because he still felt guilty about the kidnapping thing, but eventually Kiryu pushes him to try to apologize properly and make amends. Haruka is obviously suspicious of him but, I think shes got a good judge of character when it comes to if someones being earnest, and its clear Majima wasn't acting of his own volition. (She blackmails him for lots of ice cream as an apology.)

Eventually she picks up on the fact they're hiding *something* because of how like, furtive Majima becomes when he stays with Kiryu and how he's almost never actually around, especially since he loves being the center of attention otherwise. So they brace themselves for it all to come crashing down when they tell her.

It honestly... goes fine. Maybe its just cause she's a kid and was way more willing to believe monsters exist, but it's not quite the 100% world-shaking revelation. It does set them back a bit and there's a lot of convincing that 'not all monsters are evil', but eventually she settles on. 'he's not scary. he's just kind of weird.' and you know what? majima will 100% take that.

(also she thinks its funny how he purrs when you touch his ears a certain way. he's like a big weird puppy.)

okay goddamn this post got long enough as is but. thank you again for the interest I have... so many words in my brain about this. Ideally id love to write a proper fic but im really not great at structured writing like that- it takes a helluva lot of a work compared to just infodumping into a big nightmare post like this. One Day.

I mad appreciate any and all interest though! Like, at its heart this is a hurt/comfort kinda au, and my end-goal is for Majima to realize being a monster doesn't mean he doesn't get to be happy or that he doesn't deserve to be treated like a human. it is vitally important to me that these two old sad men be happy together and build a better life lmao

[burtlederp]

Grant(3), Caleb(4), Caetan(35), Tiburon(49) oops,, its a lot, huh? Your characters are just awesome hAHA sorrYY

Nooo don’t apologize thank YOU!!! I’M sorry for taking so long to respond!!!

Putting stuff under a readmore because holy hell there’s a lot of it

3. What is/was Grant’s relationship with his father like? tw: drugs, drugs, and more drugs; child abuse a la neglect

He’s laying on his back in the middle of his apartment, staring at the domed ceiling overhead. Coherent thoughts are far and few between, his mind muddled by the haze that fills it, fills the room, the whole apartment. Before he’d started smoking, he’d known he’d regret stealing so much weed, but for now, he didn’t. He floated in a peaceful bliss, utterly serene. No thoughts in, no thoughts out. Just smoke, curling and floating around him. Shapes moved amongst the haze, too faint to identify, passing, shifting forms. People, perhaps, walking by, walking around him. Legs passing by, nobody ever stopping to look down at him. People milling about, paces slowing, soon they’re coming and going. They enter the room, they talk, they leave after a brief exchange of currencies. His father is sitting behind him, on the couch. He’s high too, he’s always high, Grant can just barely see the shadows of his father’s hunched form when he tips his head back. His father never relaxed when he was high. He always became even higher strung, if that was possible. He only calmed down when he had heroin in his veins, or something stronger. 

Grant couldn’t see the face of the smoky form of his father. There wasn’t one. In his memory, there never had been. His father in the transient construction of smoke was as accurate as any depiction Grant could have conjured on his own. Never present, never really there, always drugged out of his mind, never sober. Just the same as the haze that filled the house permanently. 

4. Has Caleb ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed him? If so, does anyone else know? tw: war is hell, child abuse a la war is fucking hell, no I’ve not read the Silmarillion I just like the idea of Tom Bombadil don’t @ me

Caleb scrubbed his face on his arm and shivered, pulling the tattered cloth he called a blanket tighter around himself. It’d been raining for days now, with no end in sight, and it had transformed the prairie into a mudscape. He and one other lone figure huddled around a tree that stood tall in the midst of the brown sea, one solitary rise of solid ground, one lone spot of relative shelter. 

“B-beautiful weather, innit?” the other, the stranger, chuckled. It was the first thing they’d said since they arrived. They’d showed up last night, flopping down against the tree and falling asleep. Caleb had kept his distance, kept still, not showing any inclination of actually being alive. He didn’t reply to the stranger’s comment on the weather.

“Not in th’ mood ‘fer talkin’? Thas’ a’ight…” they sighed after a long minute, realizing Caleb wouldn’t respond. “An’ I know yer’ not asleep, ‘cause iss’ too cold t’be sleepin’ right now.” Caleb still didn’t respond. He was wary of the person. There was no such thing as a stranger with ulterior motives. 

“Don’ worry, I got enough words fer’ th’ both of us,” the stranger, a man, Caleb realized over the constant sound of rain, scoffed. Caleb looked heavenward, praying silently. 

Please, no, don’t let him talk, Caleb prayed, but unfortunately the gods were not on his side in this moment. 

“I’ve met a god before. Now, I know what yer’ thinkin’--’you? Dionisio? Seen a god? Ha! As if!’ But I tells ya’, I met ‘em. Hell if I’m to know which one he was or what he did or whatnot, but I met ‘im and he was a fabulous fella. Called ‘imself Tom, of all things. Can ye’ believe that? A god, named Tom! Ah, I hardly believed it myself when ‘e said it.” Caleb sighed, rubbing his face. The man’s name was Dionisio, and he was crazy. Excellent. I’m stuck out here in the middle of nowhere with a crazy man who’s likely going to kill and eat me. 

A distinct crunch cut off Caleb’s train of thought. It wasn’t a sickening crunch, like a breaking bone or the like, but like a bite into an apple, a fresh, crisp apple. Caleb spun around, looking around the tree to see the man, as crinkled and wrinkled and dirty and filthy as he had sounded and smelled, leaned comfortably against the tree. His dark, beady eyes twinkled as Caleb stared at him.

“Mm, I knew that’d get yer’ attention!” he laughed, a hand lowering to his side. Before Caleb could react, jump back from the man’s drawn sword--he realized the man hadn’t drawn a sword at all. It was another apple. He held out the bright red fruit to Caleb. “Go on n’ take it, lad, y’probably more starved than I am!” 

Caleb sat there, hesitating, eyes flickering between the apple and the man, weighing his options. He could take the apple, but… what did he want in return? Was the apple cursed? Poisoned? Was this a trick? He backed up a step warily, like a shy animal.

“Ayee, I’m not gonna ‘urt you! I jus’ wanna give y’ somethin’ t’eat. I swear I ain’t mean nuthin’ by it,” Dionisio insisted, holding the apple out further. Caleb stared, waiting. Dionisio tilted his head, giving a wry smile. “C’mon laddie. I ain’t mean ye no harm, c’mon.” His voice softened as he spoke, getting a little quieter, more gentle, not so rough and abrasive like the coarse mud that surrounded them. Caleb swallowed, his stomach twisting. It’d been days since he’d eaten. He didn’t remember when he’d last eaten. And here it was, food, offered with no strings attached. It was too good to be true. But his hunger overrode his instincts now and he snatched the apple from the man’s hand, leaping away right after. 

“Aye, there we go, there we go, see? An’ I didn’ even ‘urt ye!” Dionisio chortled, watching as Caleb devoured the apple. The old man kept smiling, but it faded somewhat as the small, one-armed boy ate. “Ye been hit as ‘ard as anyone else by this war, ain’t ye?” 

Caleb, chewing, looked up briefly at the man through messy, curly, wet black hair that fell in his eyes. He nodded, ever so slightly. 

“Ye… Ain’t we all…” Dionisio sighed, letting his head rest against th’ tree. “I got more apples fer’ ye if ye want ‘em after that ‘un.” Caleb frowned.

“Why?” Caleb was surprised as the sound that came from his throat was not one he recognized. It was a croak, rough and unused. Though it had been… well, Caleb didn’t even know the last time he’d spoken. He cleared his throat and tried again, questioning the man. Dionisio huffed a laugh.

“‘Why’? Whaddya’ mean, ‘why’?” the old man looked to him with a grin. “‘Cause I want to, and ye look half-dead, and ye barely a child! Ye need it more than I do.”

“But….” Caleb looked down at the core of the apple in his hand. “You could last so much longer if you kept them to yourself.”

“But you’ll last so much longer if I don’t, won’t ye?” Dionisio pointed out simply. “That’s reason enough fer’ me.” A spot of red appeared in Caleb’s peripheral vision, and he raised his head to see another apple being offered to him, Dionisio smiling. Caleb took it slowly.

“No… no other goal…?” Caleb asked cautiously, and Dionisio shook his head.

“None. I jus’ wanna see ye get outta’ this war alive, lad.”

Caleb leaned back against the tree as Dionisio kept telling his story, listening out of one ear as he thought about the apple. Food, so precious in this time of war and chaos, and he’d given it away freely. 

Perhaps there are good people in this world, still… Caleb thought as Dionisio talked and talked and talked, and it rained and rained and rained.

35. How does Caetan behave around people he likes? in a word: badly tw: implied to-happen noncon/r*pe

Caetan drummed his fingers on the bartop, chin resting in his other hand. He nudged his drink around a bit, bored. He didn’t really know what he was here for. Well, he did, he knew very well. He’d been more than busy the past couple weeks, and was yearning for some company. But he wasn’t sure what mood he was in. 

And then someone sat down a few seats from him at the bar and he did a double-take. A man, maybe 6-foot-one, with short, dark hair that was well-kept, well-styled. Lean, well-muscled, but not brawny. His face was narrow, and by god that was the most perfect nose Caetan had ever seen in his life. 

Caetan realized what mood he was in and got to his feet.

“This seat taken?” Caetan inquired. The man turned, looking up at him with deep, chocolate-y brown eyes that made Caetan pray the man said no because his knees were about to give out. The man shook his head, and Caetan tried to slip into the seat without giving away how weak he was already. “You here alone tonight?”

“I am,” the stranger responded, eyeing Caetan somewhat warily. 

“That’s a shame,” Caetan shook his head. “A beautiful creature like yourself on your own on a Friday night? I’d say that’s a crime against humanity.”

The man stared at him, and Caetan suddenly second-guessed everything he’d said or done already. What had he done wrong? Could he fix it? What--

“I’m straight.” Ah. That’s what’s wrong. Caetan’s face fell a bit.

“Well, damn. You sure?” Caetan sighed.

“Very,” the man replied stiffly.

“That’s an even bigger shame, then,” Caetan grunted, motioning the bartender over. “Let me buy you a drink then, to save some face.”

“No thanks,” the man said quickly, getting to his feet. “Have a good night.” With that, the beautiful stranger turned and walked away. Caetan watched him go, and slowly got to his feet, moving stealthily through the bar as the man headed to the door of the bar, and he followed him out into the night.

49. If Tiburon was put into ______ situation, they’d rather die than live to see it through. I had no idea what to do with this for a looong time, ngl cw: cannablism(?), consumption of human flesh, gore, Tiburon doesn’t give two shits about your ‘ethics’, he’s got his own that he’s following; oh and implied kidnapping, planned torture that never happens

It occurred to Tiburon, now too late, that perhaps he was in over his head. ‘Infiltrate the mafia,’ they said, ‘it’ll be fun,’ they said. ‘You surely won’t be forced to torture and kill someone!,’ they said, he thought bitterly as he stood in front of a man tied firmly to a chair, a black bag over his head. His head was bowed inside the bag, but he wasn’t unconscious; Tiburon could hear the man choking on sobs, shoulders shaking. Tiburon had killed people before, he’d eaten people before, he had no issue with that; it was the torture that made him hesitate. Every time he’d killed, he’d taken special care to not let them suffer, he hated suffering.

And now here he was, being compelled to do it. Well, he would be, it hadn’t happened yet. He was trapped in this shipping container, another man standing by the door, waiting, watching, playing witness to Tiburon’s actions to let the boss know he was legit. Tiburon sighed, rubbing his face. What a fucking inconvenience. Six months--six fucking months of work, all down the drain, just like that. He tortured this man, made him suffer, or they would kill Tiburon. Well, they thought they would. Unfortunately, they were currently on the docks, so Tiburon would make his getaway before they ever knew he’d changed his mind about the work. 

He turned away from the sobbing, bound man to face the guard, crossing his arms. The man, at least a head taller than Tiburon and fifty pounds heavier, every ounce made of muscle, eyed him.

“What?” The man’s voice was exactly what Tiburon had pictured--deep, raspy, heavy. Appropriate.

“Nothing,” Tiburon replied, looking away with a sigh. He rubbed his jaw, thinking. He had to cut to the chase before things started getting iffy. He turned back around and walked close to the guard.

“What’re you doing?” the guard grunted, sizing up the supposed torturer while the supposed torturer did the same to him. Tiburon did not reply, not verbally, grabbing the man by the head and pushing him against the wall. The guard barked in alarm and fought back, but Tiburon was quicker and slippery. Before the large brute could get a good grip on him and make the whole ordeal a lot more trouble, he leapt forward and sank his teeth into the man’s throat. The guard’s shout of alarm quickly twisted into a scream, then into a gargled wail that was silenced as Tiburon pulled away, trachea still in his teeth. The guard slumped to the floor, grasping at his own neck with wide eyes, and Tiburon hated it. A swift kick, and the guard’s body shuddered and went still, skull dented. Tiburon chewed thoughtfully on the trachea for a moment, surveying his work, and went to the captive man. The poor creature yelped in alarm at the touch as Tiburon cut through the zipties, but went quiet as the black hood was yanked off. The man’s eyes went wide as he saw the cartilage in Tiburon’s mouth, the dead body, and scrambled backwards with a terrified shriek.

“No, no, no no no please!” he begged, tears rolling down his cheek, one hand outstretched protectively. Tiburon frowned.

“Don’t worry, I won’t, I just figured it’d be cruel to leave you alone in the summer heat. Toodles.” With that, the merman turned and stepped out of the shipping crate, walking to the edge of the water, at some point discarding the trachea (cartilage wasn’t good eats anyhow) along the way. He dove in, relishing the cool ocean saltwater as it closed over his head, pleasant in the summer heat. 

Six whole months… he thought again as he swam away, his legs fusing into a long tail, skin becoming rough, teeth sharpening. Ah well. Now I know; the mafia isn’t worth the work.

[sehyoons]

Can I ask what you don't like about the hair? Just the look of it or are there cultural problems I'm unaware of? I think harley quinn and joker a famous characters so it makes sense to use them. But I haven't really watched any super hero movies. What makes you disappointed in beat?

This is gonna be a long reply so I’m putting it under a readmore. If anybody wants to add on pls do because I think this is a conversation we should have, but please put it under a readmore if it gets long or just dm me if you wanna talk okay cool leggo

First off, instead of saying it every other sentence I’ll say it here once, THIS IS ALL JUST MY OPINION. I AM NOT PERFECT. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN AND I AM ENTHUSIASTICALLY OPEN AND EAGER TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF. ALSO I’M WHITE AND TRYING TO BE AWARE OF MY PRIVILEGED AND UNLEARN MY BIASES WHICH IS A LIFELONG PROCESS AS A WHITEY. PLEASE EDUCATE ME IF I’M WRONG OR MISSING SOMETHING and please do it in a nice or neutral way I have no ill intent man I just wanna be good and learn okay leggo

Let’s list out all the aspects of my disappointment

The borderline cultural appropriation of the hair – the topic of people getting braids (only talking braids here, not dreads or anything else) has been changing and when bk’s teaser dropped I took the time to google some info because the last time I really sat down and tried to learn about this stuff was a while ago and these conversations and viewpoints are fluid and always evolving. Everybody has their own opinion which is important and valid. from what I found there’s an agreement that the key distinction between appropriation and appreciation is language and intent. (here’s a video I found that summed up the general idea and was very helpful, but I really urge you to do you own research and have your own discussions about this so you can learn too.) I don’t know shit about braids and styling and names so I’m not sure what the proper term for bk’s hair is so I’m just going to refer to it as “braids” and if that’s wrong or there’s a better word please let me know!!basically from what I’ve learned (which again if it’s wrong pls hit me up) the hair itself isn’t a problem. If bk, A.C.E, or Beat make inappropriate or inaccurate comments about it then that’s where we need to draw the line and let them know. There’s a term “calling in” (as opposed to “calling out”) that focuses more on correcting and educating rather than demonizing and cancelling. If it comes to that then I trust that choice will help them understand what’s going on and express how we expect them to act in the future. Knowing A.C.E and Beat I trust that they’ll be understanding, apologetic, and learn from this as to not make the same mistakes again.One woman expressed that a key point in her definition of cultural appropriation was that it’s being done by a dominant group. But I would argue that as an idol you are considered a dominant group especially in your home country? And also any non-korean people would be considered a minoritized group in South Korea? so I’m not sure how that effects this… I’m not sure where I stand in that respect….

The laziness and problematic nature of the joker/hq “concept” – when sy’s “joker” styling dropped I was pretty pissed. My friends talked me down and they’re right, if this was something as simple as just styling and not necessarily a whole ass concept then I could be chill. It’s still not my fav and I don’t like it, but it would be w/e and I would get over it. But it doesn’t seem like that’s the case (obvs it could change w the mv but it doesn’t seem like it will imo.) I’m all for concepts, but this feels lazy to me.  I expect more from Beat and A.C .E. It seems like they saw something that was popular rn, and historically has been done and beaten like a dead horse, and decided to go for it. whether they did it because it’s just something they’re into or in an attempt to garner attention idk. There’s a difference to me between “ooo fun Halloween costumes concept!” and this. Again, we have to wait for the mv to really be 100% sure on that but ya.also, for people who don’t know, the joker/hq relationship is VERY NOT GOOD. It is manipulative and abusive and not healthy and the fact that people romanticize it is very not okay. I’m not going into things because it’s a lot but google’s your friend.

The fanservice/shipping/baiting – I’ll preface this with I AM SUPER GAY AND SO FUCKING SUPPORTIVE OF BEING LGBTQ+ AND NOT HIDING SHIT AND BEING LOUD ABOUT IT but that’s not what this is. listen. I get that the industry is hard. But this aint it. especially with the increase in “[member], kiss [member]!!” comments on vlive they have GOT to be more aware of this shit. I’m all for being playful but this seems pretty forced. I’m very loud about not shipping real people and I don’t want to say that they’re asking for it because that’s not the right attitude… but they’re certainly not making it easy on themselves alright?

So to answer your questions more directly: the hair is done badly and is in poor taste and if Beat or A.C.E say something stupid it’s gonna be a fuckin mess. sy & bk look sloppy and I don’t like it.

//Hi friendos! Update time!

I debated for the last week, though didn’t verbalize it until now, to maybe delete this blog and start from scratch. But, I decided that I don’t think that would be a good decision and probably brash and not done just yet. The reason why, is because I feel like as much as I love Vaggie I’m not doing as much as I want to do.

So, before I get into anything else I just want to say this quick disclaimer since I have yet to mention it and I just want it to be known!: VAGGIE is a pretty cold person, and a little mean and a little stand-offish at first. PLEASE please don’t take this personally. And please know she and I are not the same! So even though she may be giving your muse attitude or isn’t very warm--please don’t take this personal. And I am definitely not her! I love talking to new peeps and I’m just a doof and not anything like her! I welcome new pals and interactions! And with those in her circle there is a different side of her! So I just want that to be clear!

And on that note, I want to say I’m a super shy person and a little socially anxious; though I think a lot of us are! So I get a little nervous when approaching others for the first time, but I’m going to try and work on that and I also want everyone else to know that if we’re mutuals  you can totally hit me up any time. OOC or IC! I feel like I haven’t interacted with you all as much as I would like or at all! But I would love to change that.

Also with that said, in case we are both a little shy even still, I’m making this post also a permanent starter call. Meaning, if you give this post a like then it’s kind of a silent ‘hey I see u homie!! lets interact!! send me stuff any time!!’ on both ends! It’s helps me know you’re cool if I send you memes and asks, and you’re letting me know that you’re interested as well! Or that I can tag you in starters, or you to me, etc!

I’m starting my new years resolution early by attempting to be more outgoing and less afraid so! Here we go! 

And just so no one thinks that I forgot!:

My starters owed: @hellshost and @drxgqueen I see you and I will get to you, I’ve just had an off couple of days and I’m getting back into the groove of things! And of course, this goes for @hellsaurelius for our thread! I see you too! 

But anyway, YEE! Please give this post a like if you would be interested in more interactions, or even message me just to say hello or plot or whatever!! I’m totally down for whatever, let Vaggie give you all attention!!

And lastly, you’re all wonderful and amazing. Under the cut I’m going to include some shoutouts and little notes of admiration from me to you, but they’re just under a readmore because this is already so long!

@kinkybccts: OH, YOU. My Day One! I love the layers to your Angel so much and I love our interactions together. Vaggie and Angel bicker like siblings and it’s my favorite. 

@drxgqueen: I just discovered your Angel and I love him; I love how you write his dialog both the words themselves and how you write his accent. It’s just a little detail that I love. Your Angel is so charming and a joy to read on my dash!

@hellsaurelius: AHHHHH. DAD. I love him. I can’t believe I’m saying this, me who is scared irl of devil shit (and i’m not even religious lol) is saying YO I LOVE SATAN. Because your portrayal of this particular Satan is so golden I can’t even put into words. You’re a joy on my dash and I love your interactions with @rejecteden! My big fave husband and wife y’all amazing. But for real, I love how goofy and theatrical he is and like I said, he’s just such a pleasure to see every day. I love your headcanons about him and everything about him, just, ah, love ya!

woooo! a medical nonsense readmore ~

i am WELL AWARE there is a very specific medical exam that i should have had quite a few times by now and i know it’s important and yeah!! i wanna make sure Everything’s Fine as much as everybody else!! but i have a very specific medical history (entirely just bizarre medical shenanigans related. but very specific nonetheless) that makes me very. touchy. about it. that i have actually never explained to any doctor, but, the thing was, all of the ones i’ve seen over the years, they’ve been FINE with not doing the exam. 100% fine. because when i started seeing someone for Related Nonsense, it was not necessary, and when i hit the age for it they were like, look, you’re fine if you don’t want to, and i was like, cool beans y’all see you next year :) i would like to, you know, eventually work my way up to it!! bc i know i should get it done and somewhere yeah i’d probably like to!! but like!!!!! this is not the kind of thing i really wanna be. pushed about. even the trainee nurse i saw once with my regular doctor a few years ago was a little pushy but still nice about it when i said no

so my regular doctor related to that apparently LEFT and because i only see her once a year to get a prescription refilled i had NO IDEA until we made the appointment last month, and i, needed the goddamn prescription refilled, so i just made an appointment with another doctor there, and i was like, really hoping she wasn’t gonna give me a hard time about this thing, and yes this morning she absolutely 100% did give me a hard time about not getting it done :) and honestly made it sound like because i refused to do it she would’ve renewed my prescription for only six months instead of a year which would’ve been. suuuuuuper shitty (i did in fact get a year but i also like. very much am going to ask the pharmacy to make sure i got a fucking year) but like

what really made me upset is that, i’ve had very nice doctors about this, but her attitude was very much ‘see this patient and then see the next one, this is a job and not a person i need to care about’, she didn’t introduce herself, she didn’t really care that i was like ‘yeah i’m anxious?????’ even when she asked, she wasn’t nice about it at all, and i feel like, this is very much the exam you should be a nice person about!!!!!!!! and i had to explain why i needed the prescription too which, she’s not my regular doctor i know she didn’t know why, but i feel like she was really judgy about that too and i’m like. okay i’ll just find another one, there are others in the area, but i’m also. angry and upset about it

and i’m like, should i have been more explicit about being uncomfortable??? but also like. i think if you see a patient being. anxious and uncomfortable, in any way. especially someone you’ve NEVER SEEN BEFORE. you should be kind about it. like that’s literally your fucking job and a goddamn requirement. and ask if there’s anything you can do to help. so i could have at least thought about it more instead of being upset. like i know part of this is on me for just like, being too scared to get it done, not every single medical exam is going to be comfortable (even though, i think they should be :) don’t get me started on ct scans and the mri) but also. maybe just make it easier for me to think about it. like i don’t think i should need to explain a reason necessarily for being scared about it i think someone should see i’m upset and just be. kind about it

one time for an ENTIRELY UNRELATED medical exam (the mri.) they had to knock me out to do it bc i cried the whole time when they first tried to do it (i made many a nurse upset by crying as a kid. :)) but this is. very much a thing you cannot be knocked out for. and probably should not be knocked out for!!!!! but i also. don’t think like numbing or anything would help bc i am also very anxious about not being able to feel parts of my body, just out of anxiety, like ya girl doesn’t even do novocaine. i suffer if the dentist needs to do anything. (thankfully he usually does not.) i had one (1) spot on my body numbed for a mole removal once but that was bearable bc it was literally, the size of a nickel, and not something i was gonna focus a lot on

anyway! just needed to put some bitching about this somewhere

“Nah Guap ya never shoulda let her ass release a solo without ya verse. The shit yo song, I swear ” URIEL speaks into the phone looking out into his backyard. GUAP and URIEL been friends for years and they rarely had time to sit and talk, but with URIEL’s current lawsuit now being dropped and he had the time. “But back to what I was sayin’ nah im hit that bitch with everything I got, she gone wish she never got that lawyer, I’m gone own her.” He laughs. Every single time URIEL would put out music a woman would come out of nowhere accusing him of shit he didn’t do. “This time around I had to give a fuck, then knight bitch ass wanna bring me to a party with some fuckas I ain’t ever see before, wit a bitch i never met.” He turns on Rick and Morty licking over his lips. “Shit wild. Let me go though I got some shit to do for my seed before the sun come up. Some bake sale shit and I ain’t got no clue how to make no brownies and cookies. bye.” He hangs up the phone and tries to read the bag for the fifth time.
