Here have this random snippet I stumbled on that I wrote ages ago, I have no idea where it was originally going, but if anyone is interested you’re welcome to use it as a prompt :D

*

Elle stood up straight before him, shoulders back, chin tilted up high, face determined and eyes locked with his in what Jason had long come to think of her “battle princess mode.”

She was also blushing, which was new.

Jason met her gaze levelly, arms crossed across his chest as he waited for her to break the silence and say what she was going to say. Behind her Jazz peered out from the edge of the door to the kitchen, doing her best to smother her smile in case Elle turned back to look at her. The fourteen year old hellion could be an absolute nightmare if she thought they were teasing her - especially when it came to matters involving her crushes on Damian and Jon.

“Bruce got invited to a wedding to some socialite he knows.”

He raised his brow at her. “Okay.”

“And he’s making Day go with him.”

His brow twitched higher. “And?”

“And Day asked me and Jolly to go with him so he won't be bored out of his mind.”

He watched, fighting a smile - Jazz, his wonderful wife, was not helping as she silently awed behind her little sister - as the red on Elle’s cheeks spread across her nose.

“There’s going to be dancing.”

He could see where this was going, but he was - at the end of the day - an older brother first and foremost. He allowed his brow to tick even higher at her. Tilting his head to imply he wasn’t sure where she was going with all this.

Somehow, her face grew even more red.

“I don’t know how to dance.”

There was a long moment of silence as they stared each other down.

“So are you going to ask me to teach you? Or are you just gonna keep trying to set me on fire with your mind.”

Elle couldn’t be more red if he’d dunked her in bucket of paint. “Fine. Will you please teach me how to dance?”

He let his arms drop from before him, reaching out with a warm smile to ruffle her hair - and she really must want him to teach her since she didn’t even bat his hands away. "Sure thing, kid. Can’t let those stuffy assholes think the Nightingales don’t know how to cut a rug. Come on, help me move the couch so we have some room.”

THE SPECIAL WAS SUCH A RIDE!!! what were claw noir and adrien saying when they were talking abt their mum? 🥺

IT WAS!!!

Here's the scene, there's just so much to unpack omg (Adrien thinking about making the wish--- my heart </3 🥺)

Chat Noir : Why do you want a Miraculous you already have? Griffe Noire : Don't you know? We can make a wish by merging it with the cockroach's. CN : So you need Ladybug's, not mine! GN : It doesn't work with ours. But with yours... CN : You don't know what it means! The combined power of both Miraculouses is too powerful. There's a price to pay! GN : Nothing is too powerful, and no price is too high to pay if it's to reunite with my mother! CN : Your mother? She's... GN : Dead! And my father doesn't care! He's too busy making dresses and costumes, too busy creating, as if he's already forgotten her! He doesn't realise... How much I miss her. CN : I know what it's like. --- GN : If I can make a wish, I'll have a chance to get the one thing I'm interested in, to get my life back in order, to reunite with my mother! Cata-! CN : I understand. GN : Huh? Adrien : Because I know you. GN : You don't know anything, we're not the same. If it were the case, you wouldn't be the bedbug's friend! If you were me, then your mother would also be... Adrien : She is! GN : But... If you knew about the wish, why didn't you try? Adrien : I won't lie to you, I've thought about it. Of course I've thought about it, but there's always a price to pay, if I got my mother back... GN : No, our mother. Adrien : To get our mother back, another would have to lose theirs. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I... I've gone back to my life, trying to be happy, like she would've wanted. I have friends who support me, I'm alright now. Well, as alright as possible, let's say. But I can't imagine how painful it must be for someone who doesn't have anyone to comfort them. GN : For someone... like me. Adrien: It's up to you not to be alone.

“He’s still upset, then?” “Evans,” Sirius starts, and she can hear the disbelief in his voice. “You uninvited him to Christmas with your family. Yeah, he’s still upset.”

Excited for @mppmaraudergirl's Blackevans BFF Week! Here's two of our faves ruminating on some ~family woes~.

Hi amazing writer! I just finished come back, be here and it was AMAZING!!

I just wanted to ask about the orbs -which is such a creative idea and so well thought out. I mean I’m kind of convinced you were a ghost writer for Harry Potter. But besides the incredible idea, I was wondering which colors represented who?

We know Sirius is silver, Lily is orange, and James is red -but what about the rest? I tried thinking guessing of who is who by the borders but it still stumped me.

Amazing and mind breaking writing sweetheart, you’re genuinely a literary gem and genius.

CW: CBBH spoilers below if you haven't already finished

Hi hi hi hi FIRST OF ALL I love you, thank you so much for writing me 🫶 I'm so glad you enjoyed that piece! Definitely a favourite of mine and tbh, I have like 3-4 different versions of CBBH saved onto my desktop because I was so entrenched in that plot -> different pairings, different themes (some way darker etc) so I'm so glad everyone is enjoying it as much as I do!

As for our orbs, let's pull it up, shall we??? ..... *drum roll* .....

okay so like you've already pointed out, the red is James (Gryffindor), the orange is Lily (her hair), the yellow is Remus (the moon), and Sirius is silver (his eyes). The only other orbs I discussed in CBBH were the black and the green. I never explained who they were, but for me the black orb was Regulus (last name Black) and the green was Narcissa (Slytherin).

I made the core characters (Moony, Pads, Prongs, Lily) larger because of the amount of memories that Vix needed to store (these were some of her longest friends) and then the amount of work Cissa and Reg put in with her made their orbs fairly large too.

I imagined the little mauve orb (between Sirius and Remus) to be baby Harry (she'd not known him for long), and the little baby blue orb to be Draco.

The other colours were added to represent various members of the Order that she would have protected when subjected to torture/legilimency etc. (& just think, one of the orbs would have been her memories of Wormtail as her friend 🤢) I imagine there were more orbs along different strings/paths, but these were the ones I emphasized in our borders.

Fun fact! The very first hint I gave that suggested Reg was the spy (other than the form of a cat running in the forest) was when Vix asked Sirius if his hair was shorter when they knew each other in chapter one! 🥰

Thanks for being here with me, you're the best!! 🫶

Fandom: The Penumbra Podcast Relationship: Lord Arum/Sir Damien, Sir Damien/Rilla, Lord Arum/Sir Damien/Rilla Characters: Sir Damien, Lord Arum, Rilla, Sir Absolon Additional Tags: Second Citadel, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, prisoner/guard dynamic, Dehumanization, (which feels like a weird word to use for a nonhuman person bUT. it’s what i got.), Despair, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, (EVENTUALLY!!!! it’ll take a while), Captivity, Suicidal Thoughts, (that will be a theme throughout. inescapable in this particular fic. alas.), Eventual Romance, (Yes the dynamics in this one are fucked. honestly i’m kinda Stretching my limits these days.), (having fun with it. fucking around. it’s fine.), Recovery, (eventually), Self-Reclamation Chapter Summary: Arum does something inadvisable. Damien tries to clean up the mess. Chapter Notes: Wowsers bowsers. a doozy, maybe. short, but. yeah. (ch warnings on ao3)

~

Arum has learned patience, in his time as a trophy. He knows what he wants even before the moment Damien leaves the room, but he bites his tongue, he curls his tail around his body, he settles and resettles on his uncomfortable stone, he ignores the intervening guards as they march their thoughtless circles past him, and he waits.

(Nothing to be gained from drawing further attention to Damien's shifts. Cannot connect what Arum intends to do to Damien at all, if possible.)

Difficult to keep track of time, down here, but- Arum knows he should be reasonably safe when the shift after Damien's trades off with next. They seem to have split the day into thirds, so... he should be as far from Damien, for the sake of association, as it is possible to be.

He makes sure that he has the Janus Beast's attention, aiming his thoughts towards it until it meets his eye, until it grins that teeth-and-acid grin, waits until the guard is far enough away not to hear, and then he begins to speak to it.

Kicking off the translations with the scene at the end where they discuss costumes and names because it's funny and it makes me emotional (there's even a nod to Scarabella's choice of name! Alya and Adrien really are so similar, I love them)

Griffe Noire : Hey, I like your new style, Classybug! Toxinelle : It wouldn't hurt you to do the same! Griffe Noire : Could I? Chat Noir : You're the one who can choose your costume! What should the new Griffe Noire look like? Griffe Noire : Meow! And I want people to call me "the lined paw-paw". Or, "Magical Whiskers". Or, "the silky fur of Justice"! Or... gah, I can't choose! Everybody : *laughs* Alya : And what will you be called? Toxinell : Mh... I'd like to be called... hm... Ladybug. Griffe Noire : *clears throat* Lame! *clears throat and laughs* Toxinelle : Hey! Ladybug : It couldn't be better

hihi!! i really love ur writing and all your series (CBBH, drink snob, AMWAP) and all the rest. they’re just so beautifully crafted and it shows you put a lot of of thought into every fic.

i was just wondering what are your boundaries with minors on your blog? i didn’t see anything about it so i’ve refrained from interacting to make you comfortable but, i just thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

thank you! <3

Uhm wow, first of all - I love you! Thank you so much, and I'm very glad you've enjoyed my works!

Second of all, I think this is a really good question and I appreciate you bringing this up

I posted the first part of The Drink Snob & Come Back, Be Here when I had zero (0) followers. I was enjoying reading fanfics by writers on the platform, and I had some of my own that I figured I'd share. I never really imagined my fics would get any attention - let alone the amount of attention they've since received! I've also gained a lot of followers since then, so I do suppose it would be good to acknowledge the fact that not all Tumblr users or Marauder's fans are over 18.

I swear a LOT. Like....a lot a lot....and so do my characters (specifically our werewolf mcswearwolf). I think to in order to remain authentic to myself as well as who I believe these characters to be - I won't stop that. Some of my jokes/content/references may be a little mature or slightly 'inappropriate', as well.

I haven't posted anything particularly steamy/smutty - I've never been requested nor have I ever tried. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to trying - however, if I do post something like that I would put the appropriate content warnings on the post.

All-in-all: I think you are responsible for the content you consume on the internet. I don't like the idea of restricting access to my works to a demographic on the off chance someone may find it inappropriate or uncomfortable - so I won't, but I'm also trusting that minors will be responsible and knowledgable when it comes to the kind of content they may find across Tumblr.

TL;DR - you are welcome to interact with my blog so long as you're safe, aware, and mindful of both yourself and those around you.

Thanks for asking, my love 🫶
