hii far 🧸

[milksnake-tea]

Dunno if you've ever answered an ask like this before, but do you mind telling us about your mutuals?

Rather, their writing styles and how they interact (No pressure if this sounds like I'm intruding on a boundary or something, I've noticed that you reblog a lot of works and I'm trying to find more fic writers from HSR and Genshin to support, but sometimes it feels a little scary 😅)

HELP NO IT'S OKAY !!! no fear in asking, we love people like you <333 these are mainly the mutuals that i've read fics from so that i can actually tell you how they write but still. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ONE STRAP IN FOLKS. if i forgot ygs im sorry oops... also sorry for the tag COUGHS (esp to the ppl i keep tagging when i get asked abt my moots BYE kawa skip mhie naru ren im so sorry i love you i swear)

@generalsmemories

NARU !!! ONE OF MY FIRST EVER HSR MOOTS AND ONE OF THE WRITERS I LOOK UP TO THE MOST. her writing style is very scenic?? if i were to describe it, it's very dreamy and whimsical and it's like reading a fantasy book. very descriptive but not so descriptive that you're eating fancy words. she's jing yuan centric but occasionally writes for others such as dan heng and sunday! she's honestly very very silly when it comes to interaction, like in an older sister way <33 she talks like an aesthetic if that makes sense

@inarvii

skip has a very elegant feel to her writing like LORD. it's giving noble/fantasy thriller enemies to lovers but in a writing style i love her prose and how she really makes you feel the vibe of a scene. she's really kind and sweet, gives older sister vibes lowkey

@k9wa

kawa is like me but x497842389 cooler and with a lot better grasp on characters. you want proper characterization? you want big brain ideas? GO TO HIM. his writing feels theatric, like a movie or a play. it's so descriptive and he does an amazing job at describing action and characters and GRGRGRGR

@luvether

lord i dont know if its okay to tag you but uhm. hi waves hand 😭😭 honestly i haven't interacted w kou much but from what i can tell she's really nice!! BUT I HAVE READ HER WRITING. AND LAWRD. her writing feels like little snapshots of life, you feel like you're actually like. THERE. she always has the biggest brain of ideas i swear and i highly recommend her writing. mostly fluff with a touch of angst, one of my favorites fr !!

@emiken-070907

hi emi. bet you didn't expect to get tagged here huh. but you have one hsr fic and that's enough for me to slap you onto here and promo you (it's on ao3 and it's not an x reader, but it is a tragedy yanqing timeskip!!! i beta read for that btw flips hair (i still need to edit im so sorry emi please)). as for interaction, she is silly asf. TO ME PERSONALLY? shes like the ratty little sibling that you want to throw out the window but would also kill for. has great vibes over all, she's so sweet but sometimes shes a lil shit so. yeah. idk how she acts to followers but she is like that to ME. but she is full of whimsy and glee so there's that

@rainswept

edgar allan poe incarnate over here??? HELLO??? crow is. her writing is RAW. like okay this is going to get a bit gorey but they write like a freshly opened wound, it's vulnerable, it's poetic, it's pure imagery and i LOVE it. also another goofy moot. i think like just attracts like atp

@tragedy-of-commons

gwen is an absolute SWEETHEART. very silly. BUT THEY'RE SO SWEET. her writing is literally sunlight put into literary terms, if that makes sense. it's warm, comfy, and cozy (except when she kills you in the arms of your favorite character. which she has done) and i highly recommend her writing for a comfy read <3

@iceunhie

mhie is a HATER OF THE HIGHEST ORDER jk i love her she just bullies me GOODBYE 😭 mhie gives off older sister vibes, a lot of people (including me HELP) see her as intimidating but she's really sweet once you get to know her. or she calls you milk. who knows. ANYWAYS genuinely one of the people i look up to most, she always gives amazing feedback on writing and her own writing??? the prose??? she's a master at it. knows how to really elevate a piece and it's just really easy on the eyes. she's also a research writer, her jiaoqiu fic utilizes chinese proverbs and terminology and i think that's really neat <3

@st6rly

hi bottom beta. okay wait sorry you have a reputation i forgot ANYWAYS. SOL IS SUCH A SILLY GOOSE. i love him. BUT HE IS SO GOOFY AND I MEAN THAT IN A POSITIVE WAY. i haven't read that much about what sol writes unfortunately since i'm no longer interested in genshin that much 😭😭 but i've heard good things !! definitely someone you wanna check out if you like good vibes :D

@lowkeyren

ren my pookiebear my LORD !!! resident aquila favonia haver (she has like 21 as of right now) and she serves every time she writes. always gets slapped onto my rec list because she's one of the few writers that genuinely have me kicking and giggling 😭 really cute, really tension filled, one of my favorite authors :))

@scribs-dibs

SUNNIII true to his name his writing feels just so warm and light, like a slice of life anime. very relaxing reads, at least from what i've seen !! very warm, really really cute <33 like the main one that ive read from him is that alhaitham jealousy fic and??? the characterization was ON POINT. i loved it so much (the switch up made me laugh) as for personality. HES FUNNY. LIKE HES STRAIGHT UP HILARIOUS I LOVE HIM GO CHECK HIM OUT I SWEAR ITS WORTH IT

@akutasoda

q has a very pretty vibe if that makes sense, i haven't read much from them but i can definitely say that their writing style is beautiful, like a meadow full of flowers or a quiet stream. they've always been kind to me in that sort of older sibling way, and they're someone that i would trust as an emergency contact. lots of genshin and hsr from what i've seen on my dash, so definitely go check them out!

@aviiarie

avery's on the more reserved side, at least from my point of view, or maybe that's because when i first met them they had a ferminet pfp. they're pretty chill and casual, and can i just say? their writing is very easy to read, it has great flow and i can just lose myself in the fic. like i don't see the words i see what the words are saying, if that makes sense. avery also focuses on platonic writing, although they have been writing some romance with furina!! my personal favorite work of theirs was that fic of arlecchino comforting her crying child because it made me feel so much better about my life at 9 am when i just woke up.

@vynicity

FELICITYYYY she's a mutual in my heart even tho apparently tumblr thinks i dont follow her. but i do. ANYWAYS. another person that i consider on the more reserved side, but she's been fun whenever we talked. can i just say. SHE IS SO GOOD AT WRITING AVENTURINE. there's this one fic down the line about him being drunk??? i think??? and I ATE THAT UP because the tension and atmosphere that she managed to create. just magnificent. she has an aventurine series up right now iirc (i still need to read the new chapter im so sorry feli) and the prologue was. a roller coaster so definitely go check her out!

@vxnuslogy

vee is literally bursting with ideas and by god does she put them to use. i always see them brainrotting or thinking of new ideas or things to write, literally one of the most creative people ive met. can be a little silly, but still a sweetheart <33 her writing is more formal than what i'm used to i'll admit, but still a delight to read nevertheless <33 very descriptive is how i'd describe it, like it feels like she's looking at the scene as shes writing it

@ughscara

ayame is like. the sweetest person i have ever met. like ill be here being a little shit and she'll still be an absolute sweetheart I ALMOST FEEL BAD BECAUSE SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH MY ASS BYE 😭😭 i just recently reblogged one of her works and it straight up feels like it came out of a fairytale, it was so light and sweet <33

⇢ renjun as your boyfriend

pairing: renjun x reader  genre: fluff, established relationship note: happy bday to our fav lil angry bean jun <33 (also um?!?! he literally has THE BEST bf material photos istg)

your relationship would’ve probably started off as not friends but not dating in a way, whether you met thru mutuals or just naturally, the two of you would’ve felt a spark but wanted to get to know each other before actually pursuing something

renjun would’ve made it obvious but not too obvious about his feelings, enough for you to question it but not enough for you to be completely confident with your evidences

the dreamies would be ROLLING AROUND the floor in frustration, telling him to confess his feelings already and giving you the biggest hints ever with the two of you shrugging them off saying it’s too early

despite the slow burn lead up to your relationship, i feel like renjun’s confession would be rlly casual like you two would be over at one of your guys’ place watching tv on the couch cuddling and renjun would just drop it like- HUH?!

it could literally be a disney movie in the background and renjun would say “you know, that character is my favourite from that movie” and you would laugh and ask him why

“idk it’s just really cute and it reminds me of you in a way, maybe that’s why i’ve always liked you.” 

once you started dating, not much would’ve changed in your relationship ok besides from the occasional kissing and hand holding etc

i feel like he would send you little doodles throughout the week that reminded him of you

oh the way he would have the softest smile on his lips whenever he talked to you or if he received any messages from you during his schedules 

renjun would have so much care for you whether he would express it thru just random sweet sayings throughout the day like “you look pretty today” or just giving you that honey soaked smile that he has (you know the one) 

he would call you love or some sort of cute nickname and would get super happy if you gave him one too (tho wouldn’t admit it to the dreamies LMAO)

the dreamies would so tease him everytime you came over ESP HAECHAN OML which would probably end up in a bickering match between the two so nomin and mark would take you away from the scenario and have a nice civil chat

he doesn’t seem like the type to overdo on PDA but wouldn’t mind small gestures like holding hands or leaning on each other’s shoulders/lap/stomach

tho i feel like he would purposely kiss you in front of haechan just to be petty and see his reaction LMAOO

tho he doesn’t seem like the possessive type, he would get clingy towards you when schedules abroad comes up 

“imagine you came with me to Thailand that would be so cool, haha im kidding! i mean… unless??” “ok fine!! i’ll stop guilt tripping you but like just so you know i’m gonna be crying on the plane tomorrow.”

ok. renjun may be a relatively small man but do not underestimate his power/anger like if he found out you were ever mistreated in any way he will fight. like rip to whoever hurts you because jun would roast the heck out of that person (touch them and i’ll destroy you vibe)

your dates will either be aimlessly exploring the city and trying to find the best hotpot spots or food spots in general to just chill nights at your houses just enveloped in peace

you would feel so comfortable around each other, and could feel that the relationship was stable from the start

he seems like the type to communicate problems well and stress the importance of it. even tho it can be hard to communicate sometimes just in case it may hurt the other’s feelings, he makes sure to address the problem on the early stages because he cares and wants to be with you in the long run

he doesn’t seem like he would throw in this much effort for people he thinks isn’t worth his time and energy 

the best thing about dating renjun would be that you would feel at home with each other, you guys realise early on that you are each other’s rock, that you can trust each other with your lives and be each other’s driving force to become your best selves

[starsworldd]

hello!!! this is my first astrology post bc im bored af lol 🌸

please take these observations with a grain of salt!! they may resonate some may not :)) i put orbs (for conjunctions only) as suggestions but ofc feel free to use ur own interpretations and guidelines <3

general observations:

- mars trine pluto (specifically in fire signs)in men >>> the sex appeal is so **chefs kiss**

- 10th stelliums tend to care a lot about their image. they can attract a lot of online attention too!!

- pluto opposite ascendant or conjunct the midheaven attract a lot of toxicity from other people. pluto on the mc is on a broader scale regarding your reputation as a whole, but on the descendant i’ve noticed it affecting one on one relationships whether that be friends or partners.

- ^^ to add on to the pluto on the descendant observation, the native can also get really obsessive crushes on other ppl.

- i love pisces moons so much they’re really easy to talk to while also having depth and insight when needed <33 such a lovely placement.

- jupiter in 5th house natives tend to date a lot of ppl👀 could also be indicative of talent in the arts (i have this placement :p)

- neptune in the 6th house could have hypochondria or a lot of health anxiety

- people who have planets/asc in your fourth house tend to make really good friends :))

- aquarius venus tend to fall in love with ppl in their friend circles

- do NOT argue with pluto in third house people they will win oml they’re so dedicated

lunar return observations: (orbs: 1-3)

- this is gonna be an odd one but if you have saturn switching between conjuncting your ic/mc for 3-4 consecutive months it can show major adjustments in your home/private life or career for those months ahead.

- fifth house ruler in the fifth house or part of fortune can indicate talking to someone romantically for that month ;)) (ofc 5th house also rules over creativity so maybe as an alternate outcome, it can signify focus on creative endeavors too!!)

- part of fortune in 1st house can also bring confidence and overall good feelings about yourself

- pluto opposite the ascendant can bring a new person/people into your life or bring back an old friend group/friendship but can also indicate ending a connection with someone depending on context.

- pluto in 12th house can signify poor mental health for that month :(

- saturn in 12th can show major sleep deprivation for that month

- jupiter conjunct mc 🤝 achieving big goals for that month (and maybe getting some recognition for it too, but mostly ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS!!!)

- moon in the first house can mean crying yourself to sleep every night or feeling on top of the world (depending on planets in 1st house and aspects to moon for that month)

- neptune in 4th house can bring a really dreamy, “sleepy” and relaxing vibe in your home life.

- mars/chiron/mars conjunct chiron opposite the mc can mean a big fight at home might happen that month :(

solar return observations: (orbs: 1-3)

- moon in the 6th house can make it dififcult to be consistent with daily routines and doing work throughout the year

- uranus in 12th is sooooo difficult i had this last year and i was mentally so exhausted and stagnated

- venus opposite uranus may mean some sort of major break off with a close friend/partner or going through mutliple friend groups/friendships (like getting with one friend group then breaking off with them and joining another one and so on…if that makes sense?)

- mars opposite ascendant may make the native feel like another person or some sort of third party is getting in the way of their plans for the year. this is a really aggravating aspect, had these last year and i felt like school was getting in the way of my artistic goals but yet i still had to put the majority of my energy (mars) into something else (descendant) which was school for me in this case.

- pluto conjunct mc in the 9th house can indicate a major change in life direction. it may not manifest into reality but this is more of a mental change of where you want to go in life.

- sun conjunct mercury can mean a year with a lot of work ahead.

- sun square moon can mean big changes happening (whether that be home, school, career, etc..) but can also show a v stressful year

- pluto conjunct mc can also indícate divorce

- pay attention to where your part of fortune is!! whatever house it’s in may show which area of life will go really well for you (ofc depending on aspects)

- stelliums in houses can show reoccurring themes for that year.for example, i had a third house stellium for my 2019 solar return chart which was the year that i got serious about songwriting!! a lot of my energy was put into writing lyrics and music and also communicating with others too hehe.

i hope you’ve enjoyed reading these :) i think some of these observations are very obvious. maybe i’ll try and research some more insightful ones in the future <3 bye for now!🎀

[simpingforstardew]

hullo tia!! i love lovr loveee your writing!! i was wondering, do you have some specific recs for harvey and sam fics? 🫶🫶

oh boy do i !! i love giving reccs and shouting out some of my favourite writers, so i hope you love these fics as much as i did 🫶

* = the fic features nsfw content; not suitable for those under 18.

harvey reccs:

echos and equilibrium* by @hotelraleigh

this series is honestly one of the best, the way raleigh writes slow burn and tension ?? i'm a blushing mess every time. the perfect balance of angst, comfort, and smut.

A Blunder, a Bluff, and a Bet with Fate* by @mossymountain

mossy is a phenomenal writer; this series is a masterclass in narrative tension, character development, and realism in a fantasy setting. cannot recommend this one enough aaa.

Torment by @nanamikeento

you already KNOW i adore this fic, but let me praise it some more !! the dialogue is so tender,, and the atmosphere gabi manages to craft in a fairly short story is just... astounding.

Harvey being your husband would include... by @jupiter-letters

i need this old man so bad y'all,, these headcanons are so spot-on, and so dreamy <3 jupiter managed to capture the vibes of a classic 90s romcom with this one and i am Swooning !!

sam reccs:

8:05 by @peeweekey

anytime key writes a sam fic it's perfection !! she's an incredible writer who has mastered writing fluff, and i honestly can't wait to read more !!

Drunken Nights* by @deepestnightcolor

in vino veritas, my beloved <33 theres no way i can review this fic while remaining sfw, so i implore you to just read and enjoy.

Drained (chapter one) by @coughedfeathers

i know it's strange to include just one chapter of a fic here, (the first chapter is sam-specific) but !!!!! i love some good comfort/fluff, and the author's writing is descriptive and warm-- cannot recommend his fics enough <3

Puppy!Sam* by @sashiavi

,,i hauve covid,,, everything risa writes makes me feral, but her puppy!sam fics destory me. he really is such a good boy !!

[wonyscafe]

my observations ✿𝆬 aspects + a few asteroids

↳ Please note that these are my own, personal observations and that they're all from my own experiences!! <33

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

𓂃 ִֶָ︰People with sun conjunct jupiter laugh so much and find everything humorous

𓂃 ִֶָ︰ascendant square venus 🤝🏻 not being able to pick one certain aesthetic

𓂃 ִֶָ︰people with a gemini juno have such a cute and spontaneous love language :(

𓂃 ִֶָ︰idc what you say, asteroid aphrodite conjunct venus are so damn gorgeous

𓂃 ִֶָ︰individuals with saturn opposite ascendant might have family problems

𓂃 ִֶָ︰lmao calling myself out w this one but sun conjunct venus really REALLY cares ab their social relationships

𓂃 ִֶָ︰venus sextile jupiter fall in love very quickly

𓂃 ִֶָ︰ I once had a lil fling with someone who had their pluto trine lilith, and I didn't even know that this person was in a relationship?? My friend also had this with someone who ALSO had that exact same aspect…

𓂃 ִֶָ︰I know many people with mars trine pluto and they are always very good leaders

𓂃 ִֶָ︰ALSO I have a close friend of mine and he has his asteroid nemesis in the 11th house and he has beef w so many people 💀

𓂃 ִֶָ︰I'm a sucker for good communication skills, so no wonder that I'm always drawn to people with cupido in aquarius

𓂃 ִֶָ︰mercury square mc are so curious 😦 I have a 9th house stellium (plus mercury in 9th house) and I can say with CONFIDENCE that people w thid aspect are more curious than me

𓂃 ִֶָ︰individuals with moon conjunct neptune make me a bit scared… like how are you this dreamy… how are you so empathetic… what's your number…

𓂃 ִֶָ︰omg I have a friend w venus conjunct saturn and she's so bad at showing affection?? I don't mind bc I know she cares ab me but do other people with this aspect have the same thing??

𓂃 ִֶָ︰off topic but virgo & taurus placements give mirrorball vibes (the taylor song)

𓂃 ִֶָ︰people with asteroid industria in virgo might become dieticians

𓂃 ִֶָ︰I've noticed how individuals with saturn square ascendant often aren't taken seriously by people (honorable mention: leo moon)

𓂃 ִֶָ︰people with moon square jupiter tend to be too… too much for me sometimes- like there's alot going on- idk

𓂃 ִֶָ︰individuals with mercury sextile saturn give really interesting speeches and just the way they talk is so interesting

𓂃 ִֶָ︰another thing about mercury sextile saturn is that they also make excellent leaders

𓂃 ִֶָ︰no cuz people with moon opposite pluto somehow have a rather… complicated relationship with their mother

𓂃 ִֶָ︰and finally I would like to give a shoutout to all the venus sextile jupiter natives out there, you guys are seriously the life of the party

↳ a/n : Man school has really been putting a huge amount of pressure on me :( being stuco secretary makes it even worse :') I'll try to note down as many observations as I can!! Thank you for your patience ♡

a merry little christmas

pairing: jake kiszka x gn!reader

genre: PURE ACHING TOOTH ROTTING FLUFF. I AM SO SORRY.

wc: 2.5k

warnings: none!!

a/n: probably my favorite thing i've ever written! i hope this brings all of you comfort and cozy vibes during the cold weather <33

songs!! the christmas song / nat king cole / have yourself a merry little christmas / phoebe bridgers / o tannenbaum / vince guaraldi trio / literally any soft xmas song you can think of

this was home.

sitting criss crossed on the white, rough carpet in front of the couch, listening to the old charlie brown christmas record that was broken out every year because of your fondness for peanuts and the jazzy piano score. 

you stared, mesmerized, at the little twinkles that the lights on the tree emitted every now and then. maybe it was all in your head, the lights seeming brighter and warmer through your dreamy haze, but it didn’t really matter to you. 

you sat between the outstretched legs of the boy that is and has always been your whole world. his arms curved around both sides of your middle and your hands up and around his neck, twisting and combing through his messy hair that fell like a waterfall down his neck.

it was 3 days until christmas. there were presents overflowing from under the tree, willing to sit there until their rightful time to be opened. 

you let everything seep into you. warm glows, people that you so deeply loved and trusted surrounding you, your back pressed to a chest that radiated the most genuine warmth you've ever felt. 

his chin rested on your shoulder, swaying you back and forth every now and then, tiny taps of his fingers on your stomach in time with the staccato piano playing from the record. 

the snow had come late this year, but finally, all the window edges were lined with white. it looked like a scene out of a movie, and you were more than happy to play a role in it. 

you looked around you, noting the people who were still around. sam was sitting diagonally from you and jake in front of the other couch, eyes trained intently on the movie playing (home alone, his absolute favorite, for good reason). josh was stretched out on the couch above you, eyes half lidded, trying to watch the movie without falling asleep. 

you and jake were miles away in some other world, his head had shifted so now his cheek was pressed to your shoulder, and your arms slowly moved down from his hair to his forearms. 

you would whisper things back and forth to each other every now and then- guessing what was in the neatly wrapped boxes under the tree, making fun of sam and how focused he was on the movie, debating your favorite christmas songs. 

it was normal, but different at the same time. something in the air was new, and you welcomed it with open and eager arms. 

whatever it was, it made you feel all soft around the edges, and you can't remember the last time you felt like that. 

suddenly, josh sat straight up, pushing the heels of his palms into his eyes. “i gotta get to bed, i’m tired of fighting this shit” he said sleepily, forcing himself off the couch above you and dragging himself up the stairs without even a word of parting. 

the three of you snickered and shook his head at him, the end credits coincidentally rolling on the tv as sam flicked it off. 

“well, i guess that's my cue, too” he said, putting his hands on his knees to shove himself up, trudging up the stairs, followed by the sound of his door shutting. 

the charlie brown record was still going, and you shifted your head to the side a little to see jake’s face. he shifted his eyes up to you, unable to say anything because of his nose and mouth that was buried in your shoulder. 

“you okay back there?” 

his eyes shifted with a contented smile you could barely see. “mhm,” he hummed with a little nod, pulling you even closer to him, the warmth radiating such intense comfort to your heart. you let out a breathy laugh. 

“you’re awfully clingy tonight,” you teased lightly. he laughs through his nose, another “mhmmm” 

you grin and lean into him more. “what do you want for christmas? we haven’t talked about that yet,” you ask, tapping your fingers along his arms to the beat of the music. he raises his head finally, his chin replacing where his cheek was. 

he raises his eyes up at you, and he’s so close that you can make out every individual eyelash fanning out above his eyelids.

 a thought flits through your near-blank mind, certainly not an unfamiliar one either. there and then gone again.

he's so pretty.

he smirks lightly, “hmmmm, what do i want for christmas?” he asks himself, pretending to think. “well,” he starts, looking you in the eye, “i could use a new necklace, and a new pair of vans, and some new button ups, and maybe a vintage pirate sword if you could find one,” he rattles off more random things, and it makes you grin ear to ear. “you know what? how about we just go to the mall and buy the whole thing out?” he teases, and you laugh quietly. you turn back to him, and this time he’s smiling too. “what do you really want?”

he lowers his eyes for a split second before they find you again. he speaks earnestly, “i already have everything i want.” 

you throw your head back in laughter, and he smiles too, but his brows furrow, “what?” 

“that is such a cheesy answer!” you exclaim. he giggles along with you. “im sorry! it’s true though, i don’t really have anything i want that badly.” you turn your face to him, looking him straight in the eyes, and turning fake-serious. 

“jacob thomas kiszka. i know you. i’ve known you for almost 10 years now. i know there is at least one thing that you’ve had your eye on all year that you want so badly. there’s always something, every year. last year it was that near-thousand dollar necklace, the year before that, it was a fancy wine-tasting set that you wanted so badly to try with me. then i remember one year a really long time ago where you just wouldn’t shut up about those expensive-ass guitar strings until your dad finally got them for you. you always have some specific thing you want.” 

he squints his eyes at you, “you know me too well, you know that?” and he’s grinning, a twinkle in his eyes akin to the lights on the tree you were mesmerized by earlier. all you do is raise your eyebrows and offer a soft, knowing smile in response.

his gaze is still a little humorous as he loosens his arms around you ever so slightly, so he can move his hands up to cup around your sides, where your ribs are. he rubs his thumbs along your shirt. he’s making you even warmer than you were. a pool of anticipation appears deep in your stomach. 

you can sense he's about to do something, but what? you’re never once alarmed, though. you could never feel uncomfortable in this moment, safe and secure and warm. you’re still leaned into his chest, so you can feel it when he ever so slowly dips his head down to your shoulder again. he’s a lot closer to your bare skin this time. your head is still tilted to where you can see his eyes, and he speaks softly. “fine. you wanna know what i want this year?” he corrects himself, “what i’ve wanted for several years, actually.”  you’re mind blanks. you know what he’s doing, you can feel it. you’ve known him for too long to not know. but your mind is blanking in disbelief. is he really about to do this? right here? right now? can he read your mind? 

he breaks you out of it by rubbing his hands up and down your sides again, squeezing a little. “you gonna answer me, bug?” he asks softly, not a hint of mockery or teasing, just a question. 

you nod, a barely discernible movement. “yeah. yeah, i wanna know.” 

you’re not scared. you’re not even really nervous. you’ve been this close to him before, only this time, you were both taking an extra step. 

he breaks his gaze and bends his head down again. 

his lips suddenly touch right where your neck and shoulder connect, and a quiet, embarrassing little gasp leaves you. it's such a feather light, barely there thing, and it makes it so much harder to process for some reason. 

you can feel it when his lips tilt up a little at the sound you made. his lips are there again, but this time you can feel them much more. it's a real kiss now. a firmer touch. you can feel every miniscule move his body makes. his mouth presses down for a few seconds before he comes up, moving his head and giving you no time to think before he does it again, further up on your neck now. 

your eyes widen as you turn your head back around to face in front of you, subconsciously tilting your head to the left so he can have more room. 

his hand is at the other side of your neck in an instant, softly moving it back upright as he strokes his thumb along your skin. “nuh-uh,” he whispers, “too warm to be movin’ away from me like that.” 

he places another kiss right behind your earlobe, and you inhale sharply through your nose. something pangs through you like a lightning strike. a feeling that you’ve never really felt before. you’ve felt versions of it, but this time it’s so raw, completely undiluted and the tiniest bit overwhelming. 

he grins wide at your reaction, his hands on your hips gripping ever-so-slightly harder than before. “oh, i think she liked that” he whispers, a little amused, but not taunting. 

you take a deep breath and shift your head, turning his head back to him again, yearning to see his face. he nuzzles his nose into your cheek a little, then turns to rest his forehead on your temple. “this okay? can i keep going?” you smile at his thoughtfulness and nod quickly. “mhm. you still haven’t told me what it was you wanted.” he snickers into your neck. “oh yeah, right,” 

he moves back up to your ear, trailing kisses along the outside of it. “what i really want for christmas,” he begins, kissing your cheek one more time, “is to kiss you. it's all i’ve ever wanted.” you turn your head toward him further, meeting his eyes, almost glowing in the christmas tree lighting. he brings his right hand up to your cheek, knuckles softly brushing over your cheekbone. a small grin appears on your face, widening when one spreads across his face too, mirroring you. you feign contemplation, looking away and furrowing your brows before looking back up at him once more. “i suppose i can give you your christmas present early,” you whisper, and his grin gets even wider. 

his palm moves to your neck, thumb on your cheek, as he tilts your head up. he’s looking at you with such adoration that you don’t know if you’ve ever seen from him before. at least, not at such high intensity. you get so lost in the beauty of his eyes that you almost miss him getting closer and closer to you. eventually, your lips are centimeters from each other. he breathes over your mouth, a ghost. you lean forward, eager. he leans backward an inch. he open-mouth smiles, taunting you in such a jake way. all of a sudden, the nervousness hits you in a wave and you start to fidget with his hair. “jake you know i’ve never had a real kiss before.” you whisper anxiously. you’ve kissed people, of course, but it was never right. there was never anything there. always a quick touch of the lips, and a sinking disappointment in you. but now, now, you could feel the electricity from this and your lips haven’t even touched yet. you were scared that you would end up doing something wrong, something that would fuck this whole thing up and ruin the night. it was always awkward after you kissed someone, and you don’t know if you could handle that type of awkwardness with jake.

he smiles reassuringly at you, and brushes some pieces of hair out of your eyes. he gives a knowing nod, “just follow my lead, bug. okay?” you nod, and somehow the nervousness melts away. he leans in again, and you know it's for real this time. he whispers something, barely audible, and so close that you can feel his lips moving against yours as he says it. 

i got you

and those are the words that are echoing in your head as his lips press against yours, sure and steady. 

he is everything you’ve ever imagined him being. he is a warm fireplace on christmas eve, steaming hot chocolate in your favorite mug. he is all your favorite christmas movies, and all your favorite christmas records. he’s a warm flannel, he’s a pair of boots walking on fresh snow, he’s a freshly cut spruce tree. he is everything. he is everywhere. 

you can feel him filling up your head like snow falling onto a field that’s been empty and barren for years, and only just now experiencing true winter. 

he’s all the metaphors you could ever make, wrapped up into one human being. he is extraordinary.

it overwhelms you so much that you have to pull away, just to look at him. you grasp his face like he’ll disappear. 

he’s dropped his confident facade- he’s on your level now. his heart is splayed out in front of you on a silver platter, free for you to take. 

you don’t notice that you're crying until you feel his thumb wipe the tear from your cheek. he frowns, “what's wrong, bug?” 

you smile wide, and choke out a laugh. it's simple. 

“i love you.”

you're so incredibly happy that you're beside yourself, as he takes your face again and kisses you like he’s never going to get to again, even though you know that this is far from the last time. 

you don’t- can’t- think of anything else but him and his lips against you, moving so soft and gentle and steady, guiding you to a place you’ve always wanted to go. 

it truly is home. 

the kisses start to overlap, one after another after another, until you can’t breathe anymore and pull away as if you were underwater. 

both of you are softly gasping as you lower your forehead into his chest, and he cards his fingers in your hair. 

you feel him kiss the top of your head, and you let out a giddy laugh. he chuckles at this, and you look up to see his smile. he’s so beautiful that you gather the courage to lean up and give him another few pecks, both of you smiling like idiots. 

it seems only right that you cup his face once more, and whisper through your wide smile.

merry christmas

hiii!! hope you're doing well. just passing here to say that for the past week I've been reading your naruhina fics and omg, they're so GOOD!! love how you write their dynamic, so cute and fun at the same time ;v; love how you write them both!! That being said, I was wondering if you have a particular artist or song that remind you of them? Your Hinata is so femenine and sweet that made me remind of Alina Baraz's music, idk if you have listened to her but I swear when I was reading your fics (especially The Red Scarf) 'If You Let Me' started playing in my mind haha. All her music remind me of how you write her, it matches Hinata's vibe because her music is mostly romantic and intimate. Hope if you have any chance you maybe want to listen to her!! Thanks for sharing your work with us, you're really talented!! Take care <33

hellooo!!!!

Ummmm!!! Super-flattered that an Alina Baraz song popped in your head while reading my fic because I LOVE her!!! I've got so many Baraz songs on my Hinata, and NaruHina playlists lolol. ('Floating' and 'Keep me in Love' fit so well too)

I love how 'If You Let Me' in particular feels so enticing and dreamy! Such a mood! There's also a confident and assuring tone in this song that fits my head-canon for Hinata.

To answer your question "Do I have a particular artist or song that reminds me of NaruHina"--other than Alina Baraz? YES!! And he pairs so well with Alina Baraz too! It's-- Christian Kuria. I feel like so many of his songs fit the feel I want for a NaruHina combo. I listen to a lot of his songs for inspo. And if you look into almost any of my NaruHina playlists for my particular fics, you'll for sure find one of his songs. lol.

The song I refer to a LOT is this one:

((Please please please, just listen to the lyrics--and tell me it doesn't make you think of Naruto-<3->Hinata...but there are so many covers to this song sung with a female voice that's perfect from Hinata's POV too >.<))

OMG I wanna know more songs that people like associating with NaruHina. I always find it so comforting and insightful!! Thank you for this question, Anon!!! Love your music taste!!

[youremyheaven]

Thank you for the Theatrical Romantic post, your Kibbe takes are like fresh air. 🤩🤩 Thinking of vibes.. Would you consider Myrna Loy and Natalie Dormer TR?

hehe tysm<33

i feel like you're the only person who reads them but ill gladly keep making them if i know at least one person gets something out of it.

Oooh Myrna Loy is someone I've been torn about for a looong time. She has a typical TR face-ish, its very easy to assume she is a TR but after I watched Libelled Lady (1936) starring Myrna & Jean Harlow (verified TR) I decided against TR because their vibes were completely the opposite of each other.

By looking at this image, its also obvious that she's frame dominant not curve dominant.

I think she's a Dramatic Classic/DC. Another DC with a TR passing face is Courteney Cox.

The difference is that neither Myrna nor Courteney could play a bratty princess-y character, they both seem mature and poised and kind of like the person who would be the voice of reason.

(L to R)

Vivien Leigh- verified TR

Courteney Cox- DC

Jean Harlow- verified TR

Myrna Loy- DC

Vivien & Jean have a youthful Ingenue essence which is essential for TRs, I believe that all TRs have a combination of Romantic-Dramatic-Ingenue essence (in that order). Courteney & Myrna do not have Ingenue essence, they seem more womanly and more steely. TRs are known for their "bedroom eyes", DCs have a more intense gaze; its not seductive or dreamy but more powerful, strong seeming.

Natalie Dormer has Romantic & Dramatic essence but she's an SN imo (like Scarlett Johansson)

She's frame dominant not curve dominant

Both Scarlett & Natalie have Natural essence so overly frilly snatched TR esque recommendations wouldn't suit them. Just looking at their faces, there are many similarities among all of them but also differences. You can imagine Mila or Salma as a sassy bubbly loudmouth esque character (they have played several) but its hard to imagine Scarlett or Natalie in them. They seem kind of tough, not delicate or vulnerable.

A great way to understand whether somebody can be a certain type is to compare them to other verified celebs of that ID, look at their body of work and see whether you can see them play similar roles.

1, 20, and 28 for the HBO War fandom asks!! ❤️💕💖💞

1 - what is your fav part about being in the fandom? - The people! Y'all are so kind and talented it's overall such a positive experience. I love reading people's fics and seeing their gifs and the energy is just so warm and welcoming. I love being able to geek out about Easy company with others because no one in my friend group watches any of the shows

20 - what character/character moment would you assign to your mutuals? - (I'll do this for my HBO War moots cuz I don't know if my other mutuals would like to be a part of this.) Ohhh I think for @1waveshortofashipwreck I'm torn between David Webster and Shifty. There's just something so sweet and dreamy about your energy. I'm reminded of when Webster rejoins Easy in The Last Patrol where he was all smiles and enthusiasm. It gives me a lot of sunshine vibes, but you're also quite sweet and sincere too which reminds me a lot of Shifty.

As for @vanellq77 I think I'll assign you...possibly either George Luz! Lots of energy from what I gather, a little chaotic but in a good way! All around lots of fun and good vibez.

@dontirrigateme Oooh okay okay, so hear me out...I think I'll assign you Ronald Speirs! You give me Speirs vibes and I mean that as a compliment! Like-- straightforward, sort of dry humor, but pretty dedicated to the job at hand (like your gifs are so good and I'm not familiar with how making gifs work but I imagine it must take time) and witty. Overall, cool and nonchalant but sharp!

28 - what's something that lives in your brain rent free and you want everyone to know about the show/the fandom/your works? - Hmm..I don't there's anything in particular but I think a lot about the bond the men share with one another and ughhhh it makes me weak <33 I think there's a huge lack of conversation surrounding women during the war, but seeing this fandom's dedication to research on that stuff (even if it's just for fics) it warms my heart. As a huuuuge history nerd, I feel like it's something worth learning about.

[superfallingstars]

Snape ask Nr. 33 please!

33. Top 3 songs you think will show up in Snape's most played? (from here)

Oh ho ho you’ve read my bio and opened the can of worms that is my music taste. Thank you for everything, I owe you my life, etc.

It’s like genuinely so hard to choose only three songs so I will also use this opportunity to share my full Snape playlist. I tried to pick songs that were both lyrically relevant and that he might actually listen to/enjoy aka the same criteria I will use to answer this question!

So let’s go!

This is something I’ve wanted to post about for a while now – that is, does the Snapedom know about this song? Aka the song about being obsessed/in love with a girl named Lily? This is the ultimate Snape song, it’s so perfect that I kind of can’t believe it exists. I doubt this song actually got radio play in 1995 (considering how many songs are on this stupid album, which I say with love but it is true), but I love the idea of Snape hearing this song by chance (perhaps on the radio at Grimmauld Place?) and proceeding to have a crisis about it.

This is also a Lily song lol. Lyrically it is about a woman who dies and the narrator holds himself responsible for it (howfitting). “What can I do if she dies? / What can I do if she’s lost? / Just the thought fills my heart with pink frost.” Gah! Also, musically, I think Snape would like it – I feel like an alternative 80s goth-ish vibe fits him really well. He would totally cry to this and have an all around terrible time <3

It's so hard to pick only one more, but I’m going with Bauhaus (because I am a goth ally). Seriously though, I think these lyrics fit Snape really well, especially regarding his upbringing, in the references to the general monotony of daily life and “factorytown.” Plus, you can tell from the title, this song also expresses a desire for success. Basically it just feels right.

Ok I can’t restrain myself so I'm doing honorable mentions, sorry, but these are more specifically geared toward what I actually think he would listen to. “You Should All Be Murdered” by Another Sunny Day is a jangly little 80s/90s tune with some rather, er, hateful lyrics, and “Is It Any Wonder” by The Chameleons is a dark, dreamy song with this lovely melancholy and regretful feel. I could picture him listening to either one of these on repeat, singing along, whistling while he's walking down the Hogwarts hallways, etc

Alright I have to stop myself from writing an essay, as this post is long enough! Thanks so much for sending this ask, I’m always down to talk Snape and/or music (in relation to one another or also not, it doesn’t matter, tell me what you guys think/please talk to me, ok byeeee!!!!)

[fxreflyes]

helloo 🫧 <3

hi!! <33 you give me dreamy & ethereal vibes so golden age - Ethel Cain and apocalypse- cigarettes after sex 🫶🏻

Send me 🫧 and I’ll tell u what song vibes u give :)

[nicosraf]

heyy so I loved ur book so much and was just wondering if you recommend anything similar? Cannot wait for the sequel btw<3

Aaaaaa thank you for reading!!! I'm happy u enjoyed <3

I've gotten this question a couple times, and it always stresses me out because I remember struggling to make comparisons when I was still querying for traditional publishing. But, I think it really depends on what you liked about ABM!

If it's the queer love story that's lyrical/dreamy/pretty, I'd recommend the obvious: The Song of Achilles. But also Solomon's Crown, which comps TSOA, came out a few days ago and I've heard good things! I also love Maurice and The Portrait of Dorian Gray. Call Me By Your Name is problematic, but I guess it's similar. If you're interested in movies, I've heard Portrait of a Lady on Fire has similar vibes to ABM, and I'm a huge fan of The Handmaiden.

The queerness and ridiculous writing style and tragic ending? The biggest inspo in ABM's style is The Place Without Limits by Jose Donoso and The Kiss of the Spider-woman by Manuel Puig. (The latter one is my favorite book ever)

Do you like the queer Christian mysticism? Well, @freydismoon just released Heart, Haunt, Havoc! And not to be funny but, well, Paradise Lost and William Blake's work is definitely an option aha.

Do you like the Christian trauma and trans/queer anger? It's YA but Hell Followed With Us! I haven't read it myself (yet) but I've heard incredible things.

Do you like the queerness and surrealism and trauma? The most influential piece of media for me is the movie Funeral Parade of Roses, which is about a transwoman in late-60s Japan.

And if you want more from me in specific, I have a little short story linked in my bio! It's E-rated and about two dudes in the Classical Maya period being gay sksjsddf

I hope this list is helpful! :') <33
