Character Sketching Basics (for total beginners)

I've never really made art tutorials, but I do actually semi-routinely teach digital art classes to local kids in my area. As a result of this, I have also now signed up for a volunteer character sketching workshop for such kids that I am hosting tomorrow.

I figured that since I will have 15 kids there and I can't possibly introduce them to the base concepts one by one, I should make some easy to understand slides that try and teach them the basic thoughts that go behind a good character sketch. Aaaand I figured I would share them here. They are in danish, but I will translate underneath each pic. And before any other of the amazing artists on here start pointing out that this is possibly a bit too simplsitic to be a "proper" tutorial - the workshop is for the 11-14 crowd that may have never heard these things before. That's why it's kept as completely simple as possible. Anyway, here we go:

When we draw characters, we usually talk about three pimary stages - Sketch, Inking and Colors/Shading. That's a lot of stuff to learn, but we'll focus on sketching for today, alright?

A good way to learn how to draw characters is by learning to understand two great tools - the STICK FIGURE and the BASIC SHAPES.

The Stick Figure helps you understand what a body looks like and how it fits together (anatomy), and makes it easier to portray a body in motion. (This also goes for nonhuman creatures - consider the stick figure their "skeleton")

Once you have your skeleton, you can use basic shapes (triangles, squares and circles of all kinds) to build the rest of the body. Your choice of shapes and their sizes can make a massive difference! Notice, how blocky Superman looks compared to the skinny Anne here, even though their skeletons are built basically the same way.

You can also use basic shapes to create some really unique characters, and maybe even tell us something about their personality at the same time. This is called "shape language". Take a look at how some famous characters use very simple shapes. The always friendly and happy Mickey Mouse is round and friendly-looking. With just three circles, he became famous worldwide. The skinny, refined Pearl's body consists primarilly of triangles and long circles - this works really well for a dancer, who is also a bit of a perfectionist. She even carries a spear, which is a pointy weapon that really needs the one wielding it to be precise! Almost every character in "Phineas and Ferb" consists of simple shapes that make them easy to recognize. Phineas and Ferbs' heads consist of just a big triangle and two squares respectively. And with Isabelle and Candace, you can even spot a couple of half-circles!

If you learn how to see these shapes and where they are hiding, you can learn to draw almost any character you can imagine - even the ones that look super difficult and complicated. Shredder here looks almost impossible to draw, but even he has a lot of squares and triangles you can find if you look close enough - and if you drew a solid enough skeleton to start with, so you can tell where certain things are supposed to go on his body. You also use these techniques to draw harder parts of the body, such as hands. It's really difficult, but it'll come to you with practice.

Okay - let's use what we've learned! Pick a character or make something up yourself. Figure out the characters' skeleton. Go ahead and draw them in a different pose, if you want and if you feel you can. Find and add the characters' basic shapes and add them on top of the skeleton to make a body. Add details and start erasing the lines you no longer need.

A FEW LAST PIECES OF ADVICE - Draw softly and loosely. It's hard to erase your lines if you pressed down hard on your paper. - Try not to choose a character that's too complicated to start with. We all gotta start somewhere. - Don't worry about your sketch looking a little messy. After all, it's just a sketch. All it needs to be is a good starting point for when you ink it later. - Your sketch does NOT need to look 100% like the original. The important part is that you can spot how their bodies are constructed, and find all their most important traits. - If there's a part you are having a hard time drawing, take a break and work on something else. Sometimes your brain just needs a little break. - Ask for help! That's why I'm here! - Remember to take breaks now and then. It's good for your hands and for your backs. ----

Soooo yeah. That's my tutorial for ABSOLUTE beginner kids. I hope this will land well tomorrow.

A Liking for Riding - Part 1

Note: This is based off an anon i got requesting a story similar to this. I had to delete the original post because it was not showing up on the melissa x reader tag :( if you see this post know i know its not fully fulfilling your request, but i’ll get there! If you would like to keep reading <3

Warnings: None

************************

You thought you were going to have a pretty chill teacher planning day. Without the kids around, you were going to have time to grade their work and start planning your future lessons. Turns out Ava had other plans. You hear her loud voice over the intercom: “Hello teachers, fortunately for you, you will have to be spending some time with me today. The district is mandating we do some team building exercises. Should be fun. Can’t wait to get all the tea. Meet in the lounge room in 10 mins.”

“Oh no” - you scoff and start putting all your stuff away, you weren’t planning to spend time with anyone today, specially not with that certain redhead you havent been able to stop thinking about since the day you put a foot at Abbott Elementary.

You walk out of your classroom and see Melissa and Barbara making their way to the lounge. Barbara gives you a good morning. As polite as she always is. Melissa says hi with a soft smile, sparkling green eyes meeting yours and making your entire body tingle. God, the power she has over you. One 2 letter word and you are already on cloud 9. She grabs you by the hand in order to direct you in the same direction they are going, she lets go a few seconds later but her fingers keep brushing against yours as you keep walking, you look at her and you swear you can see a smirk forming on her face. It is like she knows what she does to you, like she enjoys teasing you, touching you ever so slightly to get a reaction out of you. Is she doing it on purpose? Is it a game to her? Does it inflate her ego? You don’t know and you don’t ask. You enjoy those little moments when she touches you or compliments you. A little glimpse of hope that your love might be a little requited. Why break your heart with the truth? The reality is that Melissa was just being herself and that she had never seen you as more than a friend… but it feels… nice.

You arrive at the lounge and all the teachers are already seated. You are given a paper with all the activities that are going to be done throughout the day and you get exhausted just by reading them. Are you ready to become this close to all your coworkers? Probably not. Just to one, though. And the possibility of spending time with her was enough to make you excited about the day.

You go through multiple rounds of exercises on how to resolve conflicts among your coworkers. As is if any of them were going to work on your people. You already had your perfect coworker dynamic and no textbook advice would ever make Janine to stop meddling or Ava do her job, etc. But it was fun to be there, to see Melissa roll her eyes at everything Ava said and shoot smiles your way as if you were her Sun in that cloudy and annoying day.

At some point, its time for an exercise that requires the teachers to share what their passions are outside of school.

Everyone hears Barbara talk about how her favorite thing to do when she is not teaching her little kids is to go to church and worship Jesus. Nobody expected any other response from her.

Next goes Melissa and your eyes just watch her in amazement as she talks about how cooking is everything to her and her family. Her delivery is quite aggressive but is just so endearing to you. You could hear that woman talk about lasagna and baked ziti all day.

“You are going to drool, y/n” - Jacob whispers in your ear as he notices the way you are starting at Melissa.

You roll your eyes at him and before he can keep saying anything is your time to share.

“Well, outside of work I like to ride” - you state before you even realize the way it could be interpreted.

“I am sure you do” - Ava says poking fun at you in a flirtatious way and everyone laughs, well everyone but Melissa.

“I mean horses, Ava” - you respond annoyed “I have been riding horses since I was much younger, I even have my own horse, his name is Jasper”

“You ride horses? Hon, that is so cool” - Melissa says to you and you can feel your face blushing.

“Oh come on, Im alright” - you say giving her back the most sincere smile of the day

“You didn’t say I was cool when I shared that i have been taking biking lessons, Melissa”

“Well that would be cool if you were 10, Janine”

The rest of the group laughs at the interaction while Melissa shifts her attention back to you.

“So an equastrian, huh?” - she says as she sits next to you, her thigh pressed against yours, making it difficult to concentrate. - “I have always wanted to learn how to ride, when I was younger I used to want a horse so bad, my favorite plushie was a little brown pony, I took it everywhere, I asked for a pony every Christmas for 5 years till I gave up. And if you tell anyone i had plushies i will deny it.”

You don’t quite know what to respond to such an adorable statement. This woman had so many layers, and discovering more of them was your favorite thing to do. From hardcore take no-shit stubborn woman to the softest one that gives you warm smiles and tells you about her childhood plushies.

“Hon” - noticing that you spaced out, she takes your hand in hers and brings you back to reality.

“Sorry, yes, I love riding, i love horses. They are one of the sweetest most loyal animals and I just love being around them. They truly own my heart. Specially my baby Jasper”

Her eyes soften as she sees you talk with such affection and love about these horses.

“Thats so incredible, sweetheart, you are” - she says before she notices that she might be saying too much

“You got any pictures?” - she asks before you have any time to respond.

At this point everyone has cleared out the room and is just you and Melissa in the lounge. You are showing her pictures of your horse and all the other horses you have had, trained or help rehabilitate. Melissa seems to like the conversation and enthusiastically react to all the pictures you show her. You can’t quite tell if this is about the horses or about you, but you are enjoying it.

“You are really sweet, you know” - you tell her as you put your phone down after showing her the many pictures of horses you have in your phone.

“What do ya mean, hon? I just really like horses”

“Just the horses?” - you say before thinking what is coming out of your mouth and once you realize it, its too late to take it back

"Well," Melissa replied with a shy smile, "to be honest, I am enjoying the time we're spending together." She leaned in closer, her eyes locked on yours, as a hint of a blush spread across her cheeks. She hesitated slightly before saying, "I also like seeing you happy."

Her words sent a spark of electricity through you body, excitement and confusion taking over your body.

“What can i say? Spending time with you makes me happy, Schemmenti” - you said trying to seem confident but the close proximity at which she was standing had you feeling weak in the knees.

Melissa learned in even closer. Is she? Is she going to kiss me? You thought to yourself. Your heart was racing and your body trembled with anticipation as you saw Melissa inches away from you. You could feel her breath on your lips, and you wanted nothing more than to kiss her. The tension in the air was palpable. You closed your eyes, wanting to savor every second of this moment.

As your lips were about to touch, Janine barges into the room, “I - I a forgot my coat, sorry, im so sorry” - she grabs her jacket and runs out of the door.

If looks could kill, Janine wouldn’t have survived the one that Melissa just gave her.

“Just Janine being Janine and ruining things” - you say under your breath, clearly annoyed that your dreams did not came true.

“Don’t worry, hon, there’ll be plenty of time for that” - Melissa says planting a chaste kiss on your forehead.

You don’t respond. Confused as to what that might mean. Sure, you are friends and sure you always flirt with each other, but this is different. Melissa has become increasingly flirty and close to you these past few weeks. Her hands lingering longer on your body, her eyes finding you in every room, her sweet words. You thought nothing of it, but after today’s events the hope in your heart grows.

“How about we go to my house and I make you a late lunch?” - she says caressing your cheek with her fingers, a gesture that makes your heart flutter.

“Actually, I can’t. I had made plans to go see Jasper in the barn today and help my instructor with some things. I-“

“Don’t worry, hon, there will be another time” - Melissa says interrupting you. A wave of sadness clearly taking over her face. Her eyes no longer sparkling.

“You can come with, I’d love for you to meet Jasper”

Her face completely lights up, you could see the excitement in her eyes as she agrees to come with you see your horse.

The car ride is about one hour and you are extremely excited but nervous to be spending so much time in an enclosed space with Melissa after what happened earlier. She insists in driving and you happily sit in the passenger seat. You want to relax and enjoy the ride, but a thousand thoughts are going through your brain. You space out thinking about them while you keep your eyes locked on the redhead at the wheel. She is so beautiful, you feel like you want to look at her forever. Memorize her every freckle, every single one of her wrinkles, the shape of her nose. You think about her lips and what it would be like to taste them, to feel them against yours..

“You are staring, hon. What is in that little head?” - she says as she reaches out to squeeze your hand

“About earlier, you were about to kiss me, weren’t you? and you said there’d be more…”

“And there will be more, hon. Don’t get too impatient”

[stevie-petey]

How about Steve and bug talking about what they think their future is gonna be like? When he comes and visits her at work and they just talk about random stuff. He just says something off handedly like " I hope my kids read like you do, I want them to be booksmart like you." " Do you wanna have kids?"

" oh yeah definitely I want six."

"Six?! I could probably only handle three, if my kids are anything like me they'll be leash kids I'm serious."

And it's just sweet, them talking about how they hope their life to be, not knowing that they're each other's future.

oooo YES !!!

enjoy <3

"how many kids would you want? ya know, assuming you actually do want kids in the future."

steves question causes you to drop the change youd been counting at the register. "im sorry, what?"

"kids?" he sees your bewilderment and frowns. "what, youve never thought about your future?"

"i mean, sure? but i havent given any thought about kids. im sixteen, steve."

"and im seventeen and know for a fact that i want my kids to be booksmart like you." steve responds, not even paying that much attention to you as he busies himself with a comic.

you stare at him in shock. god, steve harrington really does just say the most bizarre things so casually. hes thought about his kids? and about how he wants them to be like you?

sometimes, you really hate that he does this. because then he just leaves you there, always standing in shock, as he goes about his day as if this is all normal.

you take a deep breath and shake your head, you have a job to do. dimes and nickels need to be attended to. "can i ask what sparked this insane thought?"

steve holds up the comic hes reading. "see, these i like. but those books about war and peace? no thanks. but... i dont know. guess theyd be good for my kids, seeing as they made you so smart."

you laugh. "im not the genius you think i am. i still think spider-man is real."

"youre like, the top of your class. shush."

"so sassy for a man who daydreams about having kids." you tease, but something shifts behind steves eyes.

"it is weird, isnt it?" he ducks his head down. "sorry."

well, now you feel bad. sighing, you drop the change in your hand and walk over to steve. sure, its a bit weird, but also incredibly sweet that he already seems to know how he'll raise his kids in the future.

you sit next to him and pluck the comic out of his hands. "so, tell me. how many kids we talking?"

a smile returns to steves face. "definitely, like, six."

"six?" you choke on your spit. "and who is birthing these six fucking children?"

a pause, then a frown. "hm. ya know, i never thought about that."

"bless you," you pat steves knee and he laughs. "i think id like three or so. maybe more, but definitely at least three. i love having a sibling, and i love taking care of dustin and his friends. ive already got years of experience."

"three? weak. do better, y/n." steve pokes your side.

you slap his hand away. "hey, i know im a handful. so is dustin. with my luck, my children will be little mini dustins and that... is a very scary thought."

"im an only child-"

"shocking!"

"anyways, its lonely. so im having as many kids as i possibly can. itd be fun, and id take them out to play baseball and go to parks and build forts and-"

"read them bedtime stories so they become booksmart?"

steve snaps his fingers and smiles. "exactly! you get me, y/n."

you giggle. "i try."

and for the last hour of your shift, you and steve debate the hypotheticals of your futures. steve remains adamant that he becomes a housewife, and you declare that if even one of your kids turns out like dustin, then youre sending them to live with him.

its a good day.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Now that it’s confirmed that Kid is yandere for Lucky I now think it is HILARIOUS to assume that Kid went after Shanks for the simple reason that he too also likes Lucky and Kid wants to weed out the competition and he thought “The bigger the better! She’ll totally like me if she sees how strong I am and how well I can protect her!! No one will wanna go near her!!!” Completely underestimating how delusional/down bad ALL of them are for her.

But if anyone ask Kid why he’s going after Shanks he’ll tell em “It’s for the glory!!! I want the title!!!” And Killers in the background like, “Ya Kid… Whatever you say Kid! Everyone TOTALLY believes that one Kid!” while making faces at Heat and Wire.

Killer every time Kid opens his mouth and starts on some elaborate lie/rant as to why he’s going after Shanks:

Lucky lets it happen cause the problem will eventually take care of itself if it goes down gladiator ring style.

Killer and the rest of the crew have to endure listening to him make up excuses for every interaction between them and the Straw Hats. It's not for Lucky, he definitely just wants to eliminate them that's it! Same for Shanks!

That aside, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to talk more about Lucky and Kid's relationship because I want to.

Fun fact, their connection was established in chapter one of Lucky Break, but I'm not sure anyone noticed it. In the prologue, it's explicitly stated that Lucky was holding her backpack when she fell into the One Piece world. In chapter one, there is no mention of it. This wasn't a fuck up on my part, this was intentional.

When she is trying not to drown, she lets go of the backpack and it floats away. Eventually, someone on the Punk Victoria finds it and decides to grab it because there might be something interesting in it, and there was.

In the backpack are the following: a cellphone, a flashlight, a wallet, a snack bar, and some face masks and gloves.

Kid can't figure out what the cellphone and flashlight are supposed to be, and is very frustrated by this. Examining the wallet reveals some weird money and cards he doesn't recognize, but the most important thing in it is the ID. He first lays eyes on the picture, and he burns the face into his memory. If anyone can explain what the weird shit is that he found, it's going to be this woman.

He always has her ID on him on the off chance they run into each other, everything else is kept safe on the ship. Because he has Lucky's ID, he is one of the very few people outside of the Straw Hats that knows her real name.

Kid is the only yandere that was obsessed before he met her. He was so hung up on finding her that by the time they did meet, he fell hard and fast.

The first time he sees Lucky in person, it takes a minute because the scar throws him off, but when he takes out the ID to compare and says her name and she reacts to it? It's all over. He needs her on his ship now, and he won't take no for an answer. He's waited too long to get an explanation on what those weird things are he found. Lucky is definitely frightened by his rough demeanor, but she's hopeful that she'll be let go after explaining what the things he found were.

I'm sure none of y'all need me to tell you that's not what happens. Kid may have some answers, however confusing, but the obsession isn't gone. He still wants to keep her.

On the scale I mentioned previously when discussing Kaku, Kid is all the way over on the 'OH GOD NO' side. He's unfriendly, unnecessarily cruel, and is one of the few yanderes that would be willing to hurt Lucky if it meant keeping her. It's not his first option by any means, but it isn't off the table either and he lets her know that. Yet he's somehow surprised when she's afraid of him.

He can be nice in his own ways, but he's bad at it. If he sees Lucky shivering, he'll throw his coat at her while yelling at her to 'stop shivering it looks pathetic'.

While he would say that he doesn't care if she likes him or not so long as he has her, he's lying. If she genuinely never grew fond of him it would bother him deeply.

Lessons Learned (W.M) Pt.1

Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader.

Pairing: Professor!Wanda Maximoff x Student!FemReader (College AU)

Summary: Y/n has been looking forward to this particular class but something unexpected happened on the first day.

Warning: 18+ Fluff, angst and maybe a little humor, with smut in future chapter.

Requested: Yes by @mizzgay

A/n: Hello peeps! Here it is! The new mini series is here! It's still in the process but as I announced before, here is Pt. 1. Thank you @stonemags and @silver-lotus for the idea and helping me brainstorming. I also want to thank @thatpersonthatisgenderfluid for helping me with cool information of Marine Biology that they are expert with. I'm excited and I hope you enjoy this series! Happy reading!

Series Masterlist

Ah, fall semester. It’s finally here! This is your second year in college. You are really glad to be back at your dorm and to see your room mate again but mostly, you are thrilled for this semester because of one particular class you are taking. You are as excited as a kid who finally goes to Disneyland. Well, that’s what your roommate a.k.a best friend, Natasha, said. Maybe, she is right. 

You have been dreaming to be a marine biologist since you were a kid, hence the major you are taking. This semester, you are finally able to take Mr. Fury’s class. He is one of the famous marine biologists there is. You love his books. So when you know that he will teach a class here, you feel like you just won a jackpot and of course you register to his class as soon as you can.

“Nat, are you almost ready?” You ask impatiently as you sit on her bed, looking at your red-haired best friend getting ready. “Oh my god. Yes I am, y/n. Geez. I know you have been waiting for this class but be patient with me, will ya?” Nat rolls her eyes playfully as she answers you and puts some books into her bag.

“Well, can you blame me? It’s Mr. Furry’s class. Don’t you know that he is—” You reply but Nat quickly finishes your sentence “--one of the best marine biologists and his books are masterpieces? Yes, y/n, I know.. Because you haven’t stopped talking about him and this class in the last few months. So trust me, I know.” She teases as she finally lays the strap of her backpack on her shoulder and signs you that she’s ready to go. “Let’s go.”

You get up and walk with her. “You will be glad that you take his class this semester.” You excitedly give her assurance. “I actually don’t have to take this class yet and I was going to take Mrs. Harkness’ class. You made me take this class.” She complains but you know she was just joking. You and Nat quicken your steps to where both of you should be.

“Well, isn’t that the best idea? We always try to take the same classes together. I will always help you with homeworks. You know that I didn’t tell you not to take Mrs. Harkness’ class, right?” You winked confidently right after you answered her. Both of you swift your steps into the building.

“Yeah but I already have two other classes. I can’t juggle four classes at once. I’m not as smart as you are.” She quickly pitched back a response to your statement as both of you finally walked into the class and picked the back row seats. “Aw, you are so humble. You are smart too, Nat.” You nudge her arms and she rolls her eyes once more.

You love the front row seats but Nat doesn’t, neither do your other friends so majority rules. Some more students walk into the class and slowly fill the class, you quickly raise your hand as soon as you see Tony and Vision walk in. “Guys, over here!”

Both of them quickly walk towards you and Nat and take the seats shortly after both of you remove your bags off the chairs you saved for them.

“I can’t believe y/n also made you boys take this class too.” The redhead teases with a smirk. “Well, I always love competing with Y/n.” Tony answers nonchalantly. “Even though I always beat your grades?” You try to poke fun out of Tony’s competitive traits.

“Shussh you two. We all know who is smarter.” The Russian interrupts as she moves both of her hands as if she is a referee for the competition between you and Tony. “Me!” Both you and Tony answer right away at the same time, making Nat and Vision laugh. “Well, to be honest the subject of this class intrigued me, so why not? Plus, I'm a big fan of Mr. Fury’s books.” The tall British exchange student lets out his thoughts as he shrugs his shoulders followed with a smile.

“And to watch me beat Tony’s grades.” You tease Tony one more time. “That too.” Vision plays along with your joke.

The class is filled with the sounds of students talking to each other for a little while more until the door is opened followed by sounds of steps from what seems like a pair of high heels. The class went full on silent as soon as a fairly tall dirty blonde haired woman walked in carrying a briefcase-like handbag, then without hesitation, she took her seat in front of the class. “Good morning everybody.” Her broad accent and words echo in the room and the students answer.

You are in deep confusion, so is almost the rest of the class. You look at your friends with furrowed eyebrows then bring your sight back to the woman who is busy taking out some papers and a book. From what you see, she is preparing herself to start a lecture.

“Hmmm.” The only thing the class could hear from her since the greetings. She clicks her tongue a few times as she is reading what it seems the list of the students’ name list.

Your brain is still trying to process what is going on. You even think that the young professor is in the wrong class and doesn’t realize it. The sunlight that penetrates the window from her right hand side brings up the color of her flawless wavy hair. Her nude makeup colors perfectly shows her angelic face’s features.

You lock your gaze on her and plan on not looking somewhere else until you find out what on earth is she doing here. Your eyes follow her movement as she stands up, walks to the front of her desk and lean her lower body on it. Natasha and Tony notice that you are looking at her from head to toe, as if you are studying what she is wearing.

The navy blue blazer jacket and pants with white swallow bird prints all over them pair nicely with her white shirt under it and her black and white high heels. To say that you are astonished with her beauty and perfect figure is somewhat of an understatement.

You would wish that she is your professor if it’s another class she is teaching, not in this class. Despite how attractive she is, you hope she is not here to teach Mr. Fury’s class. Your stomach starts to churn, your face probably turns pale. Nat nudges your arm to bring your back from your daze. “You okay?” She whispers.

As you turn your head to your best friend to answer her question, your head quickly follow back to the next voice that you hear. “Hello everybody. My name is Wanda Maximoff. I’m here to cover Mr. Fury’s class for a month or a month and a half. Some voices of disappointment quickly made their way to be heard. Wanda waits for a few seconds until the students realize and focus back on her. As soon as the class is back in silence, Wanda continues her words. “I know, I know most of you were excited for Mr. Fury’s class but he has an emergency but before you know it, he will be standing here teaching all of you.”

"So, let's start with the names, shall we?" Her thick accent and her raspy voice tickle your ears and perhaps wake up the butterflies in your stomach without you realizing it. Your mind is far too occupied with your disappointment that it is not the professor you expected yet you want to know how much experience she has in this field. Your guess is she is not that much older than you. That's another thing, you are being skeptical.

While Wanda calls the students' names one by one and tries to remember it at the same time, Nat whispers to you. "Stop staring, y/n. Already have a crush on your professor?" Nat teases you, of course.

"What? No!" You deny as quickly as you can. "How old is she, do you think?" You whisper but this you didn't turn your head too much, with your eyes focused on Wanda.

"She is definitely older than you but not that much." Tony jumps into the conversation. "Ouh I never knew that you are into older women." Nat smirks and Tony tries hard not to laugh.

"I just want to know how good she is at this subject." You defend yourself. "She looks very smart. It seems like it's not her first time teaching a class and knows what she's doing." Vision expresses his opinion.

"Why don't you ask her?" Tony casually challenges you. "What? No! No student asks that of their professor!" Nat yells in whispers, trying to stop you because she knows that you would do that. "Oh she will." Tony comments, a laugh almost slips out of his lips.

Nat glares at Tony and before she tells you not to do it, you raise your hand. "Uh-excuse me? I have a question." Some students turn their head to you in the back.

"Yes? And, your name?" Wanda answers you with another question and one raising eyebrow.

"Oh, my name is Y/N Y/L/N." You answered. "Yes, miss y/l/n, what's your question?" Wanda lays her hands on her thighs while still holding the name list.

"Do you know Prof. Fury? If you do, how do you know him?" You pitch your question.

Wanda nods softly before she answers you. "Yes, I know him. I'm actually his assistant and also his student from his other class in another university."

"Oh, so a student teaches students." You arrogantly replied. Gasping from some students sounds clear in the air, including from Nat who pinches the bridge of her nose having the second embarrassment from what you just said.

Wanda didn't expect your harsh comment, her lips pressed into a smile. "Well, I'm doing my master in marine biology and I'm almost done with my final paper. So I'm sure I know a LOT more than you do. I assume you know that it's not easy to be hired as his assistant. Plus, despite all of that, so far I can remember in this class I'm your professor and you are my student." the blonde woman tilted her head as she finished her answer followed by a victorious smile.

"Oooohhhh" some students react to Wanda's answer that feels like a right jab to your jaw and it catches your tongue. Few seconds of silence and Wanda takes it as the conversation with you is done. She turns her face away and looks around the class. "Okay, so let's continue the name list and we'll start the class. We'll learn The Study of Characteristics of Species." Wanda tells the class and proceeds.

The whole time of the class with Wanda, regardless of what happened earlier, you still pay attention to everything she teaches. How she walks around the front of the class or how her hands swing a bit while she explains things are so mesmerizing to you for some reason.

Maybe Vision was right? She looks like she knows what she's doing. Also, she looks smart and it intrigues you to see how much she knows her field. You love to compete or call out when someone makes a mistake. Yes, you admit that calling out people’s mistakes is your worst trait and you are working on it. Your best friend keeps reminding you about that.

Her voice and her accent when she teaches, sounds passionate in the same major you are very interested in. Your mind starts to think it must be nice to discuss some of your Marine Biology related topics with her.

Uh oh wait, there's no way you have a crush on your professor. Not in the very first class. Your eyes blink as you come back from your daze when Tony secretly kicks your legs under the table. He waggled his eyebrows up and down with a knowing smirk. "You like her, y/n?

"What? No, Tony." You quickly tackle his assumption yet a shade of red blush slowly shows on your cheeks.

"Okay, that's it for today's class. We'll talk about this more in the next class. Don't forget to read page 10 to 15 for our next meeting. Have a good day everyone." said the blonde professor as she realized that her class is over for today.

All the students stand up and leave the class. You and your friends are slowly walking away from the back of the class. As four of you get closer to pass Wanda's desk, you hear your name beautifully wrapped in her voice. "Y/n, can I talk with you for a second, please?" With that, the three of your friends walk out and wait for you outside.

"Yes, Mrs. Maximoff?" You ask as soon as you stand in front of her desk. Wanda puts the pen down and she looks up at you as she entwines her own hand with her others, a few inches away from her face. “That was quite a way of introducing yourself to me, Y/n.” Her unamused piercing green eyes look straight to yours. To Wanda’s surprise, you patch a smile on your face for her prior to answering her. “I always aim to make an impression.”

Her eyebrows rose. She is bewildered with how confident you are, too confident in a bad way. It exasperates her. “Oh? So you always aim to make a bad impression?” she asks in sarcasm as she collects her things, getting ready to leave.

“Of course not. Not at all.” You answer casually. She took a deep breath. “Well, too bad, y/n, because it wasn’t a good impression at all.” Her answer quickly ripped your smile off your face. Your forehead puckered in surprise and confusion. The unexpected answer from Wanda froze your tongue for a good few seconds. Wanda gives you a quick glance and pulls back her focus on getting ready to leave. “But… I didn’t–” The slightly older woman didn’t even let you finish your sentence as she stood up and says “I think we are done here, y/n. See you in the next class.”

With that, she leaves her desk and walks towards the door, leaving you perplexed. You turn around and you walk out the class to find your friends, still with your brain trying to comprehend Wanda’s words.

“Y/n, what happened?” Nat asks as soon as she sees you. “Yeah, what did she say?” Tony added another question.

“She just told me that I gave her a bad impression. She looked upset too.” Your eyes blink a few times. “Well, d’uh? Of course, you dumbass.” Your Russian classmate raises one of her open palms, giving you a dirty look.

“I couldn’t agree more with Nat here, y/n.” Vision adds in his agreement. “Come on, y/n. For someone who keep bragging that you beat my grades, you can’t be this dumb.” The Stark company’s only heir comments.

“Y/n, you pretty much insulted her in front of the class. Of course she got upset. I’m surprised that she didn’t kick you out after what you said about her being a student and teaching us.” Nat expresses her thoughts as four of you walk.

“Well, I was right, weren’t I?” Your stubbornness makes you disagree with Nat even though deep down your heart telling you that Nat was right. “Yes but it wasn’t really wise that you said it out loud.” Vision adds. “Yeah, y/n. Nobody says that to their professor in front of the class.” Tony backs up both Vision and Nat as he playfully punches your arm.

“Okay okay. What day is it today? Ganging up on Y/n day, or something?” You joke in sarcasm. “Aw such a cry baby.” Tony baby-talk at you with a fake pout. You roll your eyes at him and the four of you move on with your day.

_____

You toss and turn a lot. It’s hard for you to fall asleep. All you can see when you close your eyes is Wanda. How her hair sways following the rhythm of her movement when we teach. How she looks from behind when she writes on the board, the blazer wraps the curve of her body perfectly. The way her friendly smile showed up when a student or two asked questions to her before she gladly answered them. The difference in her voice can turn when she was teaching and when she was talking to you. Why was she even mad at you? Oh well, that’s right. You upset her.

Now your brain switches lanes from adoring her subconsciously to feeling bad for her for what you said. You think and think hard, debating on what you should do. Part of you thinks you didn't do anything wrong but the other part encourages you to do something to redeem yourself. Then a thought popped in.

_____

“Seriously, y/n? You are joking, right?” The redhead’s annoyed surprise tone. “Oh my god, you rush me and the boys to come early just to hang out here at the library before Mrs. Maximoff class and now you gotta leave?” Nat continues her protest. “Sorry, Nat. I forgot to bring my book. I gotta grab it. I’ll be fast.” You lied and you walked away in a rush.

As you are gone, Nat's mind is going, sensing that something is unusual. "Hey, did you guys notice that?" Nat curiously asks Vision and Tony.

“You meant, y/n forgot her book? It’s a bit odd, yes.” Vision’s examining tones sound clear as he thinks about it more after she mentions it. Meanwhile for Tony, he thinks there’s always a first time for everything. “Eh, I meant, yeah it never happened to her before but I don’t think it’s something big or anything. Unless she gets nervous with Mrs. Maximoff class and then forget to bring her book.” Tony shrugs his shoulders after he lays out his theory.

“Something fishy.” Nat says under her breath that the two men didn’t hear it.

_____

You rush your step and check your surroundings to make sure that Nat is not following you. Both of you have been best friends for years now and you know well that she knows you like the back of her hands. One of your hands holds a note tightly inside the pocket of your jacket. Your eyes are anchored on the classroom door as soon as you get closer and closer. You look around once more before you open the door and sneak in. Your heart races. Your eyes rapidly jump back and forth from the door to the desk and back to the door again. You carefully put the note on the desk then rush yourself out of the class and definitely need to hurry back to your friends before they notice anything.

“Hey. Sorry, I tried to get back here as soon as I could.” You take your seat back with your friends. “It’s okay. You okay y/n?” Nat asks you as if she is a detective who is trying to find a clue. “Yeah, why?” You try hard to keep your cool. “Nothing, just making sure.” Nat replies.

“Uh, I think we better go now so we won’t be late.” Vision suggests and the four of you walk together to the class.

_____

Once the four of you got to the class, you were quiet. You are restless and can’t focus on the conversations with your friends. Everything sounds as if you are under water. Subconsciously, you can’t wait for Wanda to come yet anxious at the same time. You are too occupied to notice that Nat is examining your body language and what is going on.

As she was going to ask you, Wanda walked into the class. “Hello, everybody.” She glances a little bit at her class and her eyes make a brief stop at you then she puts her bag on her desk.

You notice that her eyebrows furrow as she finds a little note on her desk. She takes a seat and grabs the note to check it secretly enough that nobody notices it.

“The second you walked into this room, I lost control over myself. My eyes voluntarily anchored on your beauty and your voice is the most addictive melody to my ears.” the simple sweet note fluttered her and she tried to suppress her smile as she put the note down.

You caught how a smile almost formed on her beautiful face and you know that she likes the note you put earlier. It makes you feel better after how you were to her in the first class. You lower your head and try to hide your own smile. You feel bad that you didn’t tell your bestfriend about this. As much as you know that she won’t stop poking fun out of this for a while but you are planning on telling her about this, just not right now.

You were almost lost in our deep thought about her until you heard her clear her throat to get the class’ attention as she starts her lecture today.

The lecture goes well, the more you pay attention to Wanda’s lecture and how she teaches, the more you subconsciously can’t take your eyes off of her. You take notes on anything important that she said in her lecture. You try your best not to let your “know-it-all” side take the best of you. Deep down you get nervous sometimes when you catch her gaze glance at you every now and then. Her gaze sometimes feels sharp even if it was only for a few seconds.

Wanda walks around a bit close to the front row seats of the class. “This is mantis shrimp. They look cute, don't they? Their colors are interesting.” Wanda pauses her lecture as she shows some pictures through the projector. She raises her arms pointing at the pictures. You think she looks adorable as excitement shows on her face as she talks about one of the little sea creatures.

Unfortunately, it starts to bother you when Wanda is talking more about the mantis shrimp. The wrong fact, to be precise. “Another interesting fact about them is that they punch, you know, like the karate punch.” She explains as both her fists demonstrate a punching move playfully and some students laugh a little. “Yes, they do. Unfortunately, due to their size and they don’t have springs, levers and latches like humans do, their punch isn’t that powerful and they don’t have a regular way of punching.” She adds as she smiles.

As she is going to proceed with her lecture, you raise your hand and surely it halts her lecture. She quickly turns her head to you. Her smile slowly curves down to almost a frown. “Yes, y/n?” her tone clearly swift to a serious tone or perhaps, unimpressed tone from your interruption.

She lifts her chin up a little and her shoulders tensed up as her way to remind you of her dominance in this class shortly after her mind instantly remembers how you were to her on the first day of class.

“Uh, actually, what you just said was incorrect.” You criticized her. Natasha’s heart jumps up to her throat as she hears what you just said. She clears her throat nervously that it caught Wanda’s attention. Her gaze jumps to Nat and bounces back to you. If her gaze could cut, it would cut your desk right now easily like butter. “Excuse me?” Her broad accent suddenly sounds way more clearer than before as if it’s cooperating with her irritated tone.

“Yes, mantis shrimps are small but unlike humans they actually have biological springs, levers and latches that in fact, help power their punches and make them the fastest punch in the animal kingdom. Their punches can go as fast as a 22-caliber bullet and can produce an underwater shockwave.” You explain the fact you know about the ocean version of mantis confidently.

Wanda’s annoyance flares and is visible on her face. “And what’s this “fact” based on?” The Sokovian professor does the air quote gesture on the word fact as she responds to you. “It’s based on the books I read including Mr. Fury’s book. I’m sure you have read it too.” You smile. In your defense, you didn’t want to be a pain in the butt for her. It’s just you being yourself. You can’t help yourself to correct her because you know and you are sure that what she said was not the right one.

As soon as you mention Fury’s book, it hits her. Internally, Wanda realizes that she is wrong and she hates it that you are right and not just that, she hates it that you call out her mistake. She knows better to keep it professional and play along with what you want at this moment, by feeding your ego with her way.

“Good job, Y/n. I was wondering how fast you would notice the mistake because you sound like you know it all since the first time we talked in this class.” Wanda “compliments” you in sarcasm followed by a fake smile as she tilts her head.. You know what she meant from the way she looks at you and says the know-it-all word, even your friends know.

“Well, it was pretty easy–” Your words are interrupted by a vague nudge from Nat’s elbow. You smile once more but it’s an awkward smile this time. Wanda takes your smile differently especially after the words that just slipped out of your lips. She clenches her jaws and fists secretly. “Oh, really?” She asks in such suppressed irritation and covered in another fake smile.

Vision notices what is really going on and he quickly raises his hand to pitch a question before the tension grows. “Uh pardon me, Ms. Maximoff. What is the average size of Mantis Shrimps? I think I missed it.”

Wanda seems to finally loosen up as she answers Vision’s questions and just like that she jumps back into her lecture. Everytime Wanda glances at you, she feels irritation but as someone who has experience in teaching she actually sees that you have a lot of potential.

After Wanda gives essay homework to her students, she dismisses the class right on time. You and your friends walk past Wanda’s desk and as if you are having a deja vu, The blonde woman calls your name and tells you that she needs a minute with you. Just like last time, your friends wait for you outside.

You took a soft deep breath as you asked “Yes, Ms. Maximoff?”

“Special for you, instead of 1500 words,I want you to do 2500 words for the essay homework.” Wanda instructs in a stern tone yet calm as her piercing green eyes look at you.

Surprised, you instantly ask and complain at the same time. “Wait, what?” Your eyebrows snapped together and you squeeze your backpack’s strap that comfortably lays on on of your shoulders.

“You heard me. 2500 words for the essay with the same deadline date. Do you have a problem with it?” Wanda responds without even looking at you as she casually checks some papers, her tone was flat and cold.

“Well, it’s almost double the work with the same amount of time.” You fuss.

“Well, don’t you know it all? I’m sure you can get it done easily in no time.” She answers without leaving any space for you to bargain. You are upset but you don’t know what else to say. Silence rises up quickly and it makes Wanda avert her eyes from the papers she was reading then look at you. “Is there anything else you want to say, y/n?”

“No, Ma’am.” You answer in defeat.

“That’s what I thought. See you in the next class.” Wanda doesn’t even show any interest in giving you eye contact as she ends the conversation with you then back to focus on some papers to sign.

A few minutes after you left and a few paperwork later, Wanda gathers her things but she stops when the little lovely note on her desk calls for her attention. She reads the notes once again and this time a smile appears on her face. Her mind starts to wonder who wrote it and her heart skitters from the lovely words.

Pt. 2

A/n: Welp, that's all. I hope you enjoy this first part. Let me know what you think. I appreciate your reblog and comments. See you in next!

Cheerio!

On my knees begging for a response letter from Lenny per your most recent prompt

p.s. Wanted to let you know how appreciated and admired your work is—Guess Who’s Coming to Yom Kippur is an all time favorite

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ I've had so much fun writing these crazy lovebirds. Guess Who's Coming to Yom Kippur was my first go at writing for the Maisel fandom and it has been so touching hearing how many people it's resonated with. I've loved writing it every step of the way. I think I originally came up with the vague idea while watching season 3? After I caught up on season 4 I finally decided to take the dive. And here we are! Just goes to show it's never to late to write the fic. It's becoming a series because I fell in love with the story and the more I write, the more I discover yet to tell.

And now, by popular demand, let's here from Lenny...

Dear Midge,

No gout here out west as far as I'm aware. It's a big state, so there's probably some poor schmuck stuck with it out there but the Bruce family abode remains unscathed.

It's nice to hear from you. I dig the pink stationary. Is it lightly scented? Or am I imagining things? Quite possible. I've been thinking about you too.

California is okay. Still adjusting to the amount of sunshine and phony smiles, still can't find a decent deli, but Kitty is here and she's great. That's my daughter's name, by the way. I don't know if your delicate headwear would fit over my ego bloated cranium but I'm sure she would love to add to her dress up collection. We've been raiding my mother's limited stash in the meantime.

There's no one else who's turned my head. I'm starting to think no one else ever could. It's like my nose became a compass that fateful rainy night we shared the back of that cop car, with you as my true north. 

Perhaps that's how we always seem to find each other. 

As much as I'm sure the neighbors would love the show, the streaking is unnecessary. You've always had my attention. I've been captivated by you from the very start. Since you saw through my bullshit and asked me point blank if I loved it. 

If you simply must be naked, I am powerless to stop you. All I ask is a chance at a private audience.

I've often considered the calculation of time zones well into the night as well, if I'm being honest, but well… maybe we can revisit that another time.

I wouldn't mind seeing you behind Gordon's desk, but I'd much rather you get paid for it. Or have your own desk, better yet.

I'm proud of you for keeping at it. It's not an easy game, this comedy shit. And television is a whole other ball field. All the censors and meddling producers. Audiences across America to play to instead of the folks right in front of you. But I still believe you can do anything you set your mind to. Just keep looking for that spotlight. You'll know it when you see it.

As for the thank yous of your letter, it was always my pleasure. Lending a hand, an ear, a shoulder, the coat off your back… It's what you do for the ones you love. 

You know…I've always been partial to blue but between that negligee and the shades of your eyes it's cemented its place as my favorite color. And the night at the Mayflower… I want you to know you were always worth the wait. 

If you do ever find yourself with a ticket to the west coast, perhaps we could find ourselves in another someday.

I've still got the legal stuff, and now the kid stuff, and some of my other stuff…but I'm trying to figure it out. Be someone worthy of worshiping your show corset. Or the dentist corset. Do you have a corset reserved for air travel? I'd be interested to find out, if you'll let me. 

I can't make you any promises. God knows you deserve so much more than I can offer. But a part of me holds out hope all the same, selfish as it may be.

Give Peluso my regards.

Yours. Always.

Lenny

[almost-correct-quotes]

lyrics that remind me of dion and kane / their plotline <3

if there's no character specified it's either about them together or the plotline in general

it's tumblr, so the colors are messed up but you get what im trying to do its supposed to be aesthetic

Dion: Turn and Go - {Parentheses}

When the night is turning sour Due to the lateness of the hour Doesn't mean it has to end Just turn and go You just need a change of scene Somewhere happy, somewhere green You don't have to be alone Just turn and go

I announce that I am leaving, no one seems to care No one even takes a second glance But I am with the people that I love the most And that's always more fun without a plan

Dion: Lying in the Middle - Spence Hood

Why should I make up my mind Just to change it overnight What a magnificent way to waste my time You know I would rather live my life Rife with riddles Lying in the middle of the Kinsey scale The world’s a buffet and I came to get my fill

Dion: Doing This Again! - Bears in Trees

I hope I'll be resilient I hope to be brave in the face of another family cancer My mother 'cites a rosary downstairs But lord, these blessed words fail me

Love Takes Time - Philip Labes

It takes more than some roses, for roots to intertwine To open up the doors to your interior design Sneaking in the baggage, that we couldn't leave behind

Saint Bernard - Lincoln

When I'm dead, I won't join their ranks 'Cause they are both holy and free (…) Make me love myself, so that I might love you Don't make me a liar, 'cause I swear to God When I said it, it was true

Paul Revere - Noah Kahan

One day, I'm gonna cut it clear Ride like Paul Revere And, when they ask me who I am I'll say, "I'm not from around here"

I'll leave before the road crew's out Before those joggers, looking way too proud And I'll turn up the music and I'll forget Until it ends, that I'm not ready to let go yet

How I Survived Bobby Mackey's Personal Hell - Lincoln

Well, if there’s one thing that I'm sure of It’s that I think too much about shit that doesn’t matter And I don’t think enough about things that make a difference

You left some holes in the plotline I left some holes in your clothes And we can argue semantics over who left who first

Dion: Downhill - Lincoln

I went downhill at such steep incline That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky And I laughed about it all night

And I said “Hey man, isn’t it poetic That the sky is what we leave behind?” Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

From Eden - Hozier

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know

There's something broken about this But I might be hoping about this Oh, what a sin

Out of Time - Philip Labes

Tick, tick, tick goes any good thing Forever is a diamond lie We can't stop the clock, so let's just talk Until our heartbeats rhyme Until we're out of time (...) And if you believe that fate brought us together Then you must believe that it tore us apart But I do not believe That we live in a machine I think the ticking that you're hearing is a heart

Kane: Is It Honor That I Want? - Sushi Soucy (it's LITERALLY him. screaming)

I know the guidelines That I've lived by my whole life So well that I could sing them Be a good kid, be a good brother Be a good son, be a good loyal servant to the kingdom

Why am I so confused? I have everything I want Yet it feels like I have nothing left to lose Is the world really falling to pieces? Do we really have to iron out the creases? Have I been told my whole life something that isn't true? Because I really have no idea what to do

I curse the heavens up above Is it really honor that I want Or is it love?

The Title Track - Origami Angel

Sometimes it gets hard to be alive And you know that better than I do Better than I do Sometimes you need somewhere else to go Somewhere that nobody can find you No one will find you

But if you wanna be somewhere you don't have to be alone Or distraught or anything at all Baby, you don't have to be, pack all your things And we'll move to Somewhere City If you want to be someone that you never have to hide Or keep bottled up on the inside Baby, you can set it free, just come with me And I'll show you Somewhere City's waiting for you

Dion: Re-Do - Modern Baseball (i have to put mobo on every single playlist somewhere soz)

I wanna start from the top Maybe like a do-over Replace the voices in my head With blind innocence

I want a complete re-do Maybe change my name Report the losses, grab the claim "It's a shame, it's such a shame"

Kane: Stick Season - Noah Kahan

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right

Summer wedding: Thanksgiving before the separation drabble

Ok it got a bit long. Kissing implied doing more than just kissing. Only 2 sentences. Nightmares.

Comments welcome and reblogs. No publishing translating or posting

Ari come here and help me pick out a Turkey.

He goes to grt the biggest.

"What are you doing?"

"What its a turkey? Go big or go home."

"How about go big and have to wake up at 3 am to cook it."

"Oh," he thought for a second "but I want to give you and Maya the best Thanksgiving ever so that's fine."

"Ari and what are we going to do with the leftovers? "

"Who said anything about leftovers?" he was rubbing his stomach. 

"Fine but when you're bloated and gassy don't come to me complaining. "

I still grabbed him some Tums and gas-x and some kid medicine for Maya just incase. 

"Ok" I said as Ari wrapped his hands around my shoulders,

"We got Turkey, stuffing, pie cranberry sauce and real cranberries, corn muffin mix, we can just buy them you know."

"No I am making it."

Thank god I didn't tell Ari about making your own stuffing then we'd probably never eat. And I was also smart enough to tell him cranberry sauce is just mushed cranberries and sugar and that half the fun is how it comes out in the shape of a can  "Gravy don't its my favorite gravy you can make yours too from whatever but just in case, biscuits, butter and  We just need ice cream and cookie dough."

"Ice cream and cookie dough?"

"Yea me and Maya need to eat something before you finish cooking. 

Maya flew in the night before Thanksgiving and she was so excited to experience a "real American Thanksgiving." It was practically impossible to get her to bed. But after three stories and if your father doesn't get to sleep now so he can wake up, well never eat explication she closed her eyes.

I layed back in bed tired I thought Ari was too but he has this smile.

"What are you so happy about?" I turned on my side to face him. 

"I've got everyone I love under one roof.  You're happy,  Maya's happy. What else could a man want?"

Ari was happy. He wasn't sure how he ever found love again but he did and it was even stronger. He was happy just holding her pinkie. There was something about her smile that just made him feel fulfilled, whole. And holding her was heaven all the nightmare about bullets and prisons, holding her just eased it all away into oblivion. 

He gave her a kiss, "you tired?" 

"Yes" she giggled and rolled her eyes. "Your daughter is right down the hall and you have to get up early did yiu set the alarm.

"Yes" he rolled his eyes 

"Don't. I want to eat before 9pm and trust me that's happened. And you know I get hangry." 

Ari turned on his side with a smirk.but really her hangery… she should join mossad though, things would get done faster.

"What are you doing?" 

"Going to sleep like you asked" he sighed.

"Two can play that game" she thought. 

"You always hold me." She said with a whimper and sniffle.

He turned over with an immediate "babe come here im sorry."

"He was too easy," she thought h. But it's true he'd walk over hot coals for her without a thought. He pulled her in close and gave her another kiss.

"You knew I was only teasing baby right?"

"Well I was hoping."

He was just studying her face for a moment or two swiping his thumb across her cheek before wrapping his arm around her waist. 

"What?" She asked with a bit of a smile.

"You're so beautiful. I love you so much you know that right?" He was sincere and she was blushing.

"Ari where is this coming from?"

"I just feel so happy, blessed to have my , my family under one roof. I'm just-"

There was a knock on the door 

"Glad we just kissed aren't 'cha." He rolled his eyes but she was right. 

"You can come in sweetheart."

"Abba I had a nightmare. A giant turkey was chasing me."

"Oh no!  Well I can promise you there are no turkeys around here.  Minus your father. He's a big 'ol turkey."

"I thought we were having turkey tomorrow."

"We are but its all ready to be cooked ok no turkeys are alive in the state."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

Ari watched the scene gaining from ear to ear as he played with his girlfriends hair. She being used to it didn't pay any attention but this family scene made him happy. So happy.  Maya felt comfortable seeing comfort in his girlfriend not just with him. 

"You want someone to tuck you back in?"

"No I'm ok as long as you promise no yurkey."

"No turkeys."

"Goodnight Maya 

"Goodni-" was all Ari could get out before Maya closed the door. 

"Well I'm insulted."

"She likes me better"

Ari smirked as she stuck her tongue out. 

"Not too fond of your attitude"

"Oh yea you gunna fix it?"

"No I've got a turkey to cook. I need my sleep." He crossed his arms

"What hey I thought we were cuddling."

"Sorry babe come here." He opened his arms and she rushed close to his heart. She loved hearing his heart beat.  It was slow and soothing. And Ari couldn't sleep without her warmth the way her lips just brush against the base of his neckline at time or how her hand had seemed to lay claim to his body as he would never move it once she had fallen asleep. Holding her was something he  could never give up. He watched for sleep for a while and then pulled her closer.

"Ari go to sleep" she sounded a bit drunk but she always did she when she said this in the middle of the night. Somehow she always knew when his mind needed to be told to rest. So he kissed her forehead.

"Yes my love" she smiled and with that he went to sleep. And he'd need it because the next day he really regretted buying the biggest turkey.

[okthatsgreat]

May I hear about some of the gone waters cast if that's alright? :3 second times the charm

YES! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh god ill ramble about my characters below because if i go off about EVERYBODYS characters we will be here for weeks gfhdkjgsfkhg but ill DO WHAT I CAN. this will be so long im so sorry

ramble will be under the read more :) 

OK SO for some quick context Danganronpa: Gone Waters is a SEQUEL roleplay to Danganronpa: Hope's Reprisal that the same group of people did a few months ago, gone waters JUST ended so now i can just ramble on endlessly about these characters without having to worry about spoiling anything to the people i am running this roleplay for ghfdkjghskfdjgh. gist of the narrative is a group of """volunteers""" were sent into the luxury virtual reality program to experience high class living for a week, all run by an artificial intelligence named andi that caters to their needs whenever. one day the emergency siren starts blaring, the emergency EXIT doesn't let them leave this simulated reality, and andi has suddenly been given new instructions to run a killing game for these participants. WACKY! 🤪

i had to create two characters who were primarily there for narrative reasons (considering i was running the rp fhdksgjf) so that's where billie and andi came in :) but i LOVED how they turned out jesussss the people im rping with had great characters and it was so easy and fun making these fucked up relationships with them N E WAYS

billie lane was created as this little sacrificial lamb that was always supposed to die first lol !! she's this mopey fifteen year old who is very awkward and feels like she doesn't necessarily fit in anywhere, which is only EXACERBATED by the fact she is talentless in this group of Ultimate Students who were supposedly selected because of their talent. she was created to be this adaptable character who latches on to trends and other people's personalities very quickly, and dare i say it she wasnt heading in the wrong direction when she died???? she got some bad advice definitely but the key advice i was using for her character were along the lines of "be completely honest" and "don't underestimate yourself" as well as being told who and who not to trust ghdfgdsf. the other rpers definitely were shaping her up to be a good kid :) who then of course got killed while trying to be helpful :(

chapter one was always intended to be a mimicry of hopes reprisals chapter one (because a huge theme in this rp is breaking the cycle basically), and practically all of chapter 1 was devised by a character named moira who lured two people there with the intent of making them kill each other, kickstarting the whole game! billies purpose was to give juuuuuuust enough information to certain characters and then dip lol. the reason she was there in the first place is because her father worked on the simulator, and she's basically been this little lab rat for YEARS. just constantly doing her dads bidding. so you can imagine how grouchy she fucking gets over how limited her options are ghfkgfsdgkgfds. shes a teenage loser raised in a catholic suburban household who isnt offered a lot of freedom and has undiagnosed mental illness and then she dies. and she was awesome. 2 me. she's just such a tragic character overall and it didnt help that the other people in the rp kept making me FUCKING SAD WHEN SHE DIED!!!!!!!!

andi v92.38B is the artificial intelligence running the place :) or trying to at least. there is frequent reference to her BEING the building, so when the building starts to fall apart she does, too. she's this inhuman thing that is serving as the catalyst of a memory recovery plot, which essentially means she's recovering old memories of the PREVIOUS killing game as this CURRENT killing game goes on. but, something that WASN'T planned, is the fact that she is gaining some sort of sentience throughout all of it, SOME sort of capacity to feel. and it isn't pleasant whatsoever. it's so ugly. the very first thing she learns how to feel is pain and hatred. she doesn't understand what any of it is or what is happening to her.

this virus that was introduced into the simulator is more or less killing andi in the process, and it immediately starts growing bitter and resentful towards the People who had brought this virus along. she doesn't understand why she is suddenly feeling this way, she doesn't think she is isnt capable of doing anything outside of her programming, and it all culminates in a cranky ai that refuses to admit it is anything less than inhuman which ultimately ends in it finally admitting it might be scared of dying, before getting wiped out entirely ! it has no choice but to follow rules and then die mad about it very unfortunately. it had some seriously interesting relationships with the other participants like there were so many of them who were so nice to it???????????? like genuinely sorry for her. it was so so much fun playing andi she was also pretty funny which ruled

cutting myself off now GHFDJKG also here's a really stupid and quick animatic i did a while ago too with the survivors + andi

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK I HOPE IT MADE EVEN AN OUNCE OF SENSE

[shattered-sparks]

@ian-loves-fanfiction YOU!! YOU!!! *SHAKES YOU!!* YOU UNDERSTAND AND GET IT!! THE FUN OF RAMBLING ABOUT FNAF MUSIC!! I loved your post so much!! And of course you didn’t bother me at all!! For you I’ll throw my hat into the ring!! Special little fella. You hold a very special place in my memory, Soul. Decorate the room well Please go check out their own List of Fnaf Songs, they deserve it Long ramble ahead about Fnaf Music since I’m a veteran of the Series

Going to try and give each Game 5 at most songs since I know a lot of em, I have a fnaf Spotify playlist created just for fnaf songs since I couldn’t find any long playlists that had more than 30-50 songs. If you want the link to it let me know! If anyone else posts a list I’d love to read em. Seeing recommendations for songs, especially fnaf, is always a joy for me! And maybe I can find some artists I never seen before! Anyways, time to spread some love and joy Five Nights At Freddys

Number one FNAF 1 song I always turn to is Open up by Muse of Discord. God Muse’s fnaf songs are so underrated. I know they stopped making fnaf songs and even hidden the original videos due to the early fandom but god if they ever make new ones I’ll hold em so hard. I actually have listened to this song so much that I know all the lyrics to it

Second one, The Original Living tombstone Fnaf song. Gotta tip my hat towards the original, it’s always a bop (Point goes to Trickywi’s cover of said song. Her vocals are always wonderful)

3rd,  Welcome to Freddy's. Another classic. I can’t leave this one out. It has all the qualities of the original fandom, the audios with the characters talking n such. Those will always hold a special place in my heart. It sucks that feel was lost as the fandom and games grew. 

Number 4. Another one that I feel is under rated,  Is it something out there? Like Museofdiscord I believe this song was lost to time. The soft spoken Lyrics fit perfectly

5.  SharaX, Lockdown. Shara’s remixes are always a treat to listen to. And was this song another wonderful addition to their lineup.  (I’m upset that most of the songs here aren’t on Spotify. Can you tell I’ve been around for a long time yet?)

Five Nights At Freddys 2

1.  Mechanical Instinct, Another fnaf song that I know by heart. Other than Open up this is on my top 5 most favorite fnaf songs. It’s also what led me to finding a band that I adore the music of, Aviators! I highly recommend listening to it if you haven’t yet or need a reminder. 

2. Back again by groundbreaking. What did happen to groundbreaking? I haven’t heard of anything from them in years, I hope they’re well cause they took over fnaf 2 era. (Shout out to their other fnaf songs like the mangle)

3.  Sayonara Maxwell, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 song. Fun little fact, little kid me thought that this song in some parts wasn’t sung in English when it actually is. Regardless another fnaf song that I adore, showcasing the stress of how many animatronics you have to deal with in fnaf 2

4.  "The Puppet" by GatoPaint, another song artist I haven’t heard anything from in years. I hope they’re doing just as well! Although it was later on disproven it doesn’t push away how fucking hard this song goes. 

5. No more by giveheart records (Natewantstobattle). What did you think I would say Mangled? Although that one is a classic I gotta give my love to another song.  (I’m slowly starting to realize that I have a taste as I go and write down this list. Anyways I’m still upset that we didn’t get the plush looks from this game)

Five Nights At Freddys 3

1.   Our Little Horror Story by Aviators, I’m sorry that I am very very biased. 

2.  Before by  Shadrow. Another fnaf song, along with the next one, got lost to time. Time to unbury them for encore! (I am running out of things to say that I haven’t already)

3. Springtrap by  Madame Macabre. Welcome back on the list!

4. It’s time to die by DAGames. A classic

5. Springtrap Finale by groundbreaking. I belive this is the last time they’re going to be on this list since they kinda fell off in fandom spaces that I was apart of

Five Nights At Freddys 4

1.  Home by natewantstobattle. This songs hits and is close to home for me and my friends. Its’ very special to us so I have to give it the top spot. Me and my friend 2D greatly relate to it and it’d be a crime if it wasn’t number 1. 

2. Too far by ChaoticCanineCulture

3. Break my mind by DAGames

4. I got no time by thelivingtombstone (I wonder how many are upset at me for not putting it’s been so long in the fnaf 2 cat)

5. Dear brother by DAGames. Everyone please rise for the FNAF 4 anthem. Fun fact I cried when this song first came out, I feel old

Fnaf world

hahayouguysthought

I can’t leave out I will not be moved from this list, that would be a big shame on me. 

Fnaf Sister location

aaaaaa the game that made me take a break from the series by how much I disliked it, oh boy

1. Left behind by DAGames. Nah cause I cannot leave out the song that predicted the entire story of Sister Location. Predicted it with such a banger 

2. At sister location by Chi-Chi

3. How to pretend by Luka and Gumi

4. JT Music, Join us for a bite

(I don’t like a lot of songs for sister location as it’s my least favorite game in the series, I am sorry. I would put in Mandopony to make it 5 but he’s a terrible fucking person and although I disconect art from the artist no everyone can do so. Don’t fucking support him btw! If I would put another one it would be Alive by Aviators, Under rated as hell) 

Fnaf Pizza Simulator

1. Like it or not by CG5 and Dawko

2. Children’s destiny by SayMaxWell. Another under rated Gem

3. Kryfuze You can’t prove anything

4. Labyrinth by CG5

5. Madness by Natewantstobattle 

Fnaf VR Help Wanted

1. Parasite by DAGames, I’m biased once again

2. Encryption by Kyle Allen Music

3. Hala CG Escape Under rated

4. APAngryPiggy Outside your window

5. You’re back By Kyle Allen Music

Fnaf UCN

1. Make your move by Dawko and CG5

2. Again by Nightcove the fox

3. After hours by JT Music

4. The Ultimate Fright by  DHeusta

5. Replay your nightmare by TryhardNija

Fnaf Security Breach

1. This comes from inside by TheLivingTombstone. No because this was such a much needed song for the time that FNAF was in. And for that it sits at number 1 for me

2. Lights on by Kyle Allen Music. I’m sorry, I’m a dirty simp. Please don’t forgive me, I’ll do it again

3. KittenSneeze already dead

4.  Rockit Music Total Insecurity 

5. Kyle Allen Music Mega Pizzaplex. No listen, this song perfectly recreates that feelings of the plex during the day and I adore it for that. 

Bonus list since I want to include these as well

The last Album of FNAF Songs Nate released. Those hit so close to my heart, please give them a listen, not only that but make sure to listen to Leave me behind. It deserves love and how it spreads the message of how Nate feels on Fnaf. Give Nate one last encore for his time in the fandom. 

Knives, Gears, and Wires. Autism, that’s it, that’s the note

Any of the fazbear frights songs, my favorite would be Kyle’s Into the pit. 

The fnaf rap mashup since I enjoy the mashup the most.

Silver eyes by allen hoek. Another Under rated Gem, it has nothing to do with the books but it’s still a wonderfully created song

This is the dayshift. It’s silly and fun, just like the game!

Memory by Rockit, it’s a Joy of creation song

Halloween at freddys, it’s a classic (The original btw)

Afton Family, original and remixes

Home Late And Drunk

Home Late and Drunk

A STORY BY Mike

1

My wife KC at 5’ 2” is short and very well built, with a nice full B cup shoulder length kinky curly brown hair, and green eyes. After 2 kids she had a small mommy muffin, a tight ass, and very beautiful legs. Because she is short you will seldom if ever see her without her 3” wedge style heels.

She is an accountant for a construction company and has been with them for the whole 10 years we have been married. There are 3 other women in the office along with the boss Hank and his helper Todd. About once a month Hank takes everyone out for dinner and drinks as a way of showing them all he knows how hard they all work. KC always goes to the dinner so as to not be rude but seldom stays past having a glass of wine or two.

2

The text read “It's dinner night. ; ) “

I replied, “That's fine. I’ll take the kids to MCDs for burgers. I think they have a new slide in the playground.”

KC sent “Cool I won’t be too late. Mike, I love you. (.) (.)”

I laughed because that was about as naughty as her texts ever got and sent ~(l) ; )

She sent “God your bad! See you.”

3

The kids and I were home by 6, homework and baths were over by 8”30 and with a little TV they were in bed sound asleep by 9:30.

I looked at the clock wondering where KC was when the 10 pm news came on. She very seldom has more than a glass or two of wine in a week and we both knew that in the drink department she was quite a lightweight. I looked back at the girl sucking the guys' dick on TV in hopes she didn’t try to drive home.

It was about 10:55 when I got another text “Having fun. Kim and I will share an uber.”

And I relaxed, going to bed at about 11.

4

The back door opened just past 2 am. I heard her run into the kitchen table and she cussed “Ouch mother fucker!” I knew then she was really drunk, KC says, darn, she has really said a bad word for her. Then because it was quiet I got up to find her on her knees with her head resting on a kitchen chair. She smiled that beautiful smile and slurred “I’m drunk.”

I chuckled, “Are you sure.” as I got my arms under her, she giggled “Yup.” and carried her to our room where I laid her on the bed. I opened her blue jeans then took off her slingback open-toed wedges. I put my hands sort of under her butt hooking my thumbs in the waistband of both her jeans and panties. “Okay KC lift up for me honey.” and she did just enough for me to pull everything off.

 I pulled her up so she was sort of setting and pulled her bra and work t-shirt both off at once all at once. I smiled because I couldn’t help but admire her beautiful full breasts and how quickly her nipples hardened in the room's cool air. I moved to her dresser to get her nightgown and when I turned to see her slumped over to the side I thought better of it knowing it would be a struggle to get her in it. I sat it back on the dresser saying to myself “One-night nude won't hurt you.” She always wears something in case she has to get up with one of the kids.

5

I was just about to turn off the light when she half rolled onto her tummy pulling her left knee up. This fully exposed her sex and bottom to me and I saw she was glistening wet in the glow of overhead light. I couldn’t seem to help myself and frowned as I again talked out loud to myself. “You're awfully wet my dear.” I moved to the bed, bending over, and as I put my hand on her butt cheek pulling her open to take a better look I softly said, “God I hope that's all you.” KC is a naturally wet woman and it doesn’t take much to start her motor making her flood her panties. I knew it was just her, but I didn't know either. It was late and well she never goes out so I checked just to make sure it was all her and when it was I said “And you sir are a dumb ass. She loves you.”

I had looked at the little bit of porn before bed thinking she would be home a lot earlier and we would play. Then when it got late I thought I'd save that hard dick for her in the morning. But now with her so open, I was drawn to her sex like it was a magnet. I slipped my finger between her wet lips and drugged it through her wet and brought it to my tongue tasting her. It came out very soft and slurred, “You're a bad man.”

I couldn’t seem to stop myself. KC never lets me touch her backside. I slipped my finger in her wet sex and as I pulled her juices out I had in mind to just make it look wet as I took a couple of cellphone pics of her so exposed sex. But when I touched her she gasped, “OHH'' as I drew out more, sliding it over her star. I was wet and I was so hard my dick was pumping up and down with each beat of my heart as I pushed my finger in just a little. “HUH!” I leaned down and licked her. I was trembling as I licked from her leaking sex back to her star pushing my tongue into it as deeply as it would go “Ohh HUH!”

It was the first time in 10 years she had let me know she liked it there. She was between my spit and what I pulled from her sex-soaked. I pushed in a finger, going ever so slowly one knuckle then out in two knuckles then out then all the way in. I started to pull it out and KC pushed back on my finger. “HUH, HUH! NO, don’t take it out.”

I replaced my finger with the tip of my 9” cock. My head spun as I pushed again going very slowly, in then out deeper and deeper “Ohhhh HUH, HUH OH GOD YESSSS!” I slipped past her sphincter going deeper and deeper until she had taken me up to my balls that were now resting on her wet vagina. I began to move in her “OH yes, yes, yes ho, oh yes god yes.” KC was crying out humping up into me as I began to fuck her tight ass. It wasn’t long “OH GOD YES!” She bucked back into me cumming on my cock, “Aaaaayesssss!” It was more than I could take, I grunted “Grumphhh!” pushing in as deeply as I could get, emptying myself deep into her bowels.” I was still half hard when I slipped out.

 I went to the bath, came back with warm wet towels and started to clean her, then I stopped as I thought better of it. I wanted her to remember what she had done in the morning. I made sure there was nothing there but what I had put in her, turned out the light, and got in bed with her.

6

I felt the bed move “Oh god!” She moaned as she rushed to the bathroom and in the dark, I heard her throwing up. I went in turning on the light, finding her on her knees, head over the toilet. I could see me leaking out of her bottom and smiled as I sat making sure her hair was out of her face, I washed it for her before helping her back to bed.

 “Oh fuck...I love you Mr.” She moved onto her tummy with her leg bent up, opening her sex to me again. It was almost instantly hard, “More.” She whispered as I slipped my cock back in her already slippery cum filled ass.

“Oh god help me Mike I love it!” And again I took her and again she was cumming almost as I slipped into her and again I came with her, only this time I stayed in her until I grew soft slipping out.

7

The next morning I was sitting out on the back patio. I was nude with my morning coffee at the small cafe-style table. I had left the french doors open into the kitchen and it was about 10 am when she came shuffling in. Her hair was wet from her shower and she was finger combing it. I looked at how her light pink floor-length nightgown clung to her still wet body almost showing every delicious inch of it. She went to the coffee pot sort of looking at me “Kids?”

“At your mom's. She is going to keep them all weekend.”

“K.” She nodded her head as she poured the coffee. “Thanks for leaving me the aspirin and water.”

“You're welcome.”

She walked out and sat down across from me. I could see by the look on her face she was upset “Mike I don’t remember much past me texting you I would share an uber with Kim to get home.” She frowned “The problem is, well my problem is, Well..I.. someone…!”

I interrupted her “It was me KC.”

“Oh thank god.” She frowned again “I thought it was but then I thought it might have been a dream.” She looked at me and said, “Did we do it twice?”

“Yes, and it was me both times.” Now I was frowning “Did you think it was someone else?”

She got up walking around and I watched how the sun was shining through her thin nightgown. She stopped and stood with her feet shoulder-width apart letting the sun highlight through it and said “Way before I met you I had a professor at the university that I dated.” She shrugged “We dated for about a year. He was married and that was that.” She looked at me with worry in her eyes “Mike he loved to take me anally. I have wanted to tell you about it for years but have always feared you would think me a slut or a whore or something.” Her eyes searched mine “I thought it was a dream.” She trembled “But it was you, really you? It was you that took me in my butt both times? It wasn’t a dream? It was you?”

I noticed she hadn’t answered my question about it being someone else as I said “Yes babe it was me and I loved it. Why would you think I would think any less of because you like anal sex.”

“Because you're nice...because...I don’t know the professor always told me I was just a cheap slutty anal whore. I was just someone he liked to cornhole.” Still trembling she held her hands out to me “Mike he did things to me, so many things that I, umm I liked and I found I couldn’t stop, I couldn’t help it. I really liked it.”

I reached out, took her hand, pulling her to my lap. “KC it seems there are many things we don’t know about each other.” She had begun to cry softly. I put my fingers under her chin lifting it up my lips finding hers. I pulled back looking at her “Look I love you more than life itself and I want you happy. Since the kids are gone, let's spend the next two days talking about it all. I mean if it's something you like tell me, and nothing is off-limits.

I think to get this out there can be no anger, and no hurt feelings can be involved because of things that you learned about yourself long before I met you.” I kissed her softly, “And babe I was no saint..”

8

We spent the morning talking, finding out we had more and more in common sexually than either of us dreamed. Don’t misunderstand me up until that day our sex life was pretty good but we suddenly knew it could be better. We went online and bought some sex toys we both wanted her to try. And we made love once on the patio deck, once with her bent over the kitchen table, and once on the carpeted living room floor.

 We were holding each other there on the floor as we were catching our breath and as she pinched my left nipple said softly, “I have done bad things to myself for a very long time. I often wondered how you didn’t know.” Setting up her gown fell down over her breasts. She got to her knees and held out her hand as she stood. “I have something to show you.”

I went with her to the bedroom where she pointed to the bed “Sit please.” She went on disappearing into her walk-in closet. It was only a moment and she was back with a metal box that was about 8 inches deep and a foot square. I knew it was there but it was something she had before we were married and padlocked. I had never even thought to ask her what was in it. She was smiling slightly as she pulled the key to the padlock out from her nightstand. As her hand was resting on top of the box she seemed to grow a little shy, “When you asked me to marry you I took everything that was in this box and tossed it out into the dumpster behind my mom and dad's house. I thought it was my past and I didn’t want it to interfere with our future. When we were first married you spent a lot of time on the road for your work and even now all these years later you're still gone one or two nights a month. You also know I get to work from home as often as I would like.” She stuck the key in the lock and turned it. “These things are what I have played with taking care of my more perverted needs when I have been alone.” She looked at me “Mike as perverted as I am. I have never and would not ever cheat on you with another man. You know that don’t you?” Her hand had never left the top of the box.

“You cheating or for that matter me cheating on you is never something I have never even remotely thought about.”

I could see she was afraid and just slightly trembling.  “I never thought I would be showing you this side of me.”

 She set the box on her lap and opened it. Inside the box was a double dong dildo that was about 2 feet long and 21/2 inches around. She laid it on the bed between us. There was a hot pink oval almost football-shaped rubber thing with a long flexible rubber tail. It went onto the bed. Next out came a steel 2 inch red rosebud butt plug, and she placed it on the bed. There was a kind of gentleness in the way she was touching the things as she brought out 2 fox tails one silver and one gray each with their own butt plug, and she laid them on the bed. I saw her smile slightly as she brought out a steel plug that had 3 chains on it, one about 3 inches long, one about 5 with the last being about 6 inches long and each chain had a bell on it. The last thing she brought out was two plumb-sized steel balls one with a chain on it that was hooked to the other and she placed it on the bed. I watched as she closed the box and set it on the bed on the other side of her.

 Pointing to the double dong “I like to use this on myself because it's long enough I can hold it without fear of losing it in me. It is also long enough that I can work both my pussy and my butt at the same time DPing myself.” She grinned at me “And I have had it in me on one more than one of my facetime calls with you.” She pointed to the pink toy “This is called a mouse and is remote controlled and it has a few vibrating settings. I love to wear it out shopping and have worn it to work a few times. The foxtails I wear without panties and under short skirts when out shopping or simply around the house when you have been away. But this one may be my favorite to wear out shopping.” KC picked the butt plug upholding the plug end and as she moved it around the bells rang. “It makes people crazy wondering where the sound of the bells is coming from.” She sat it down and pointed to the two steel balls. These are Kegel balls.” She picked one up, letting the bigger one dangle. This one goes in me and it's my task to keep it there while this heavier one tries to pull it out.” She looked up from her toys her eyes searching my face “I have for years wanted to get my nipples belly button and my clit pierced as well.” that small smile came back “Are you shocked? Do you want to pull your hair and go screaming out of the house and away from me?”

I chuckled, “Um..no.” I looked at the clock as I picked up the plug with the bells on it “I want to put this in you then take you out to lunch.”

Hello! I’ve been reading your work for a long time now, and I have to compliment you, my good sir! Every chapter I read feels like an episode of a tv show, and your characterization and world building is absolutely extraordinary! I can tell how much love and care you put into the characters, it’s absolutely beautiful. I’m instantly hooked on the magic system, in-world politics, and of course the romance <3. How you manage to outdo yourself and impress readers is absolutely amazing. The way you write each point of view helps clue me in on who’s speaking before names are said, which isn’t something most authors have mastered. I kid you not, I am constantly theorizing and wondering what will happen next.

The way you described how magic in the fae realm and the Court operates makes me wonder what exactly lies ahead for Scar and Tubbo. Plus, I ADORE their father-son relationship! Scar is definitely the kind of father he hopes to be, because he goes above and beyond for Tubbo, putting his safety and well-being above all else while taking the time to actually listen to his wants!

The Watchers plot is extremely good, I can’t get enough of their mysterious nature, and it occurs to us how little we actually know about them because all we’ve had to base their motives around are books and word-of-mouth. The way you write Grian’s trauma and religious trauma just strikes me deep in the soul because I know how horrible stuff like that can be. Poor Grian!

And Mumbo coming to terms with his past and keeping his mates and family safe from those who still want to harm them is so sweet and courageous. (Also, Tubbo and the spider has GOT to be one of my favorite random side-plots. It’s so lighthearted!)

I’m always lurking on Tumblr for good Mumscarian content, and I hope to draw a scene or two from the Midnight series someday! Keep up the amazing work, and remember to drink some water! :D

Hi hello!! Thank you so much!! Midnight really is a big passion project of mine, every little detail matters to me <3 I'm so glad you're enjoying it all so much! I'm having so much fun writing it. Ah yes, perspectives and character voices- funny you should mention it, since that's one of the areas I always fear I might be failing at hjgjfkj so thank you so much!! I'm glad to hear I've gotten it across then <3 It always amazes me to hear that people theorize about my fic, it makes me so happy to have something worth theorizing about!! <3

I love magic so much, and having different rules for different sects of magic users is so fun to me <3 haha what awaits them indeed... :) I adore the father-son dynamic I've given them so much I wrote an entire fic centered around them for no other reason than because I wanted more father-son fluff <3 Sure I tossed in some plot relevance but really, the father-son relationship is what I was there for <3 Scar doesn't realize it but he's just as amazing a dad as his own father was <3

Haha and the Watchers plot isn't over yet... <3 That one's gonna hang around for a little while longer hehe I think a lot of people can resonate with the religious trauma aspect. I relate to a very minimal degree, but I have friends who relate very heavily to it so... yeeeahh man poor Grian. Also just saying, aren't I pretty cruel to turn Grian into a god of the religion he's got trauma from haha-

Mumbo's had a few lifetimes full of trauma and loss </3 he won't lose again hhgjfdk he will keep them safe <3 Midnight Mumbo gets to be cool only when his family is in danger lol- (Hehe remember that spider, it's not nearly as random as it feels at this point, but I do adore that spider <3)

I stalk the mumscarian tag on tumblr and AO3 just waiting for something to show up so I understand that hehe. !! I will let you know if you do I WILL cry and then I'll spazz out in the notes as I reblog it and Stitch and I will scream <3 hjfsdhjkds drinking water now, thank you so much~! Have a wonderful day~!

So my Thai BL rabbit hole continues with me watching Cutie Pie! Had a brief break after the dumpster fire of My Engineer because my brain melted a little and also the Fall Semester started. Once again I came here because of Perth. I came here solely for Perth and the most I knew about it was apparently it advocates for gay marriage we continue with Cutie Pie! Because of Perth. I came here solely for Perth and all I knew was that it advocated for gay marriage so once again I was flying in blind

 Yet I was hooked within the first 10 minutes and had such an incredible time

Cutie Pie walked so KinnPorsche could run

First of all,

This was unexpectedly spicy. Not like KinnPorsche ghost pepper levels, but it had a nice kick to it, a lovely jalapeño, I had no clue it was going to do that and was such a pleasant surprise when the content warning showed up

I could be biased because My Engineer had such a chaotic start and this actually like has real build up to plot and explained the characters and their situations and it was actually compelling but the first episode is so good and such a solid start.

Maybe I’m kind of projecting here, but I absolutely adore Kuea, like him trying to be soften all of his edges and smooth his roughness in the hopes his fiance will keep loving him, so that his parents will be proud of him, it just breaks me a little watching him be torn between his true self and the one he thinks the people he loves want to be. I think Kuea should get to go feral, as a treat. He deserves to go feral after trying to be sweet and obedient for the sake of others. Also he rides a motorcycle and wears a leather jacket and I’m weak to that

-I liked the pleasant surprise that my initial predictions were wrong. Originally I thought it was going to be Kuea breaks the engagement and fully embraces his true self and goes feral and then Lian would get to know the real him and fall in love and they’d get back together. But instead Lian was in love with Kuea the whole time, knew who the real Kuea was and wanted Kuea to stop acting and be honest with him, was genuinely so shocked when he found out Kuea thought he wasn’t in love with him (because Lian is kind of a dumbass) and how they’ve always loved each other, it’s just grown and changed over the years and the real plot was them finding their way back to each other and understanding the honesty they need if this was ever going to work. Took me by such a surprise and it was so sweet and fun to watch

- I really do love how Kuea is like “you don’t love me even though I love you? Fine! Let’s call this while engagement off then!” Like no begging, no pleading, just getting straight to the point immediately

-“I want to marry a human. I don’t want to marry a doll.” SHOTS HAVE BEEN FUCKING FIRED

-“I’m not in love with him.” “Why don’t you break it off then???” “Well you see I told  to his family about still loving Kuea like I did when I was a kid and decided to fulfill the grandpas dying wish of always taking Kuea after seeing Kuea breakdown at his funeral after he even didn’t know he was sick and will take care of him forever” BRO WHAT THE FUCK

- Emotionally repressed men ruining their love lives let’s go

Once again seeing Perth is always very exciting and I was so happy when he showed up on screen but this time I am loving the main characters

-Any time Perth speaks English I’m like yeah the director knows what they’re doing here

-*Kuea drunkenly arguing with his fiancé* “Jay come help me!”                             Jay clearly not wanting to get involved: Hahaha I am suddenly deaf

-Jay lying through his teeth about how he betrayed his bestie to his fiancé, I love him

- OH MY GOD DOES JAY ACTUALLY KNOW THE FIANCE

-Jay is a constant mood of woops I can’t read, whoops I can’t hear, whoops I don’t see anything

- Jay really being the only one here that’s gotten laid. He’s also the only one with the braincell. I see the correlation here

-He’s really like that’s nice disaster gays, anyway-

Everyone here is a lying liar who lies and there definitely are not going to be consequences to that, definitely not

- Have I ever lied to do you” BRO YOU GUYS HAVE LITERALLY SPENT 80% of THE TIME LYING TO EACH OTHER

- MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU LITERALLY TOLD HIM LIKE A WEEK AGO YOU DIDNT LOVE HIM DID YOU JUST FORGET THAT YOU DUMBASS MAN

- No one knows how to communicate in this show do they? Literally no one, you’re all so dumb

-Are you guys finally realizing communication is key?? Nope you take one step forward and three steps back!

Yi and Diao had such a fun dumpster fire of a relationship and watching them go all sweet and sappy and honest was such a treat because everything about them was a little bit of a trainwreck and I found it very fun

-Everything around them was shrouded in mystery of what the fuck is going on with you guys,,,is-is this like a sugar daddy relationship??? How do you know each other???

-”It doesn’t matter if I love Diao or not” Sir I guarantee you it does, I promise you it’s very important

- AMNESIA SUBPLOT????? SECRET AMNESIA SUBPLOT??????

-That’s not a band-aid for our communication issues, that’s a dog!

-The “please don’t eat my dog” was one of the funniest things

-Watching them finally communicate and get spicy was lovely thank you very much, love that they finally get domestic bliss, they better be next in line for marriage

Overall though:

- I love how both Kuea & Diao are like yes, we’re totally just good sweet boys: *actually a motorcycle loving automotive engineer majoring singer and black belt in like taekwondo respectively that could probably easily kick their secretly very sensitive, worry wart love interest asses if they really wanted to and tried*

-Honestly Kuea & Diao’s friendship was the absolute best and was one of my favorite parts of the whole show

-The attempted exorcism was so fun, I adored Syn and thought his little romantic subplot was adorable

-Honestly the friend group was a treat, and I like how the brought to attention some of the more uncomfy jokes that are used and were like “hey man, that’s not really cool, please don’t do that” and Ton was apologetic and stopped when he realized he was hurting people

-Nuchy should’ve been a lesbian. It’s what she deserved

-Foei better be making bank, I adored and loved him so much, he was the audience insert wingman and you know he was rooting for them the entire time, such a great character

-Ding dong the sound of falling in love

-Ooooo marriage speech marriage speech!!! *Shows up every couple episodes*

-Y’all really making out in front of other people when you drink huh???

-RIP TO ALL OF THE FRIENDS PUTTING UP WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP BS, JAY, UNIVERSITY BESTIES, LIAN’S BESTIES YOU ALL DESERVE A REWARD I WOULDVE FUCKING LEFT

-Genuine question: what was with the whole Annabelle thing??? Why was that a nickname specifically beyond just a doll?? Did we ever get an explanation for that I just missed it??? Is there some context I don’t know??? What was that whole nickname supposed to be doing???

-God I love watch people be in love and silly and sappy with it

-ooo angsty backstories

-God finally some good fucking communication and be truly honest with each other, only 12 episodes

-Final episode is making it all worth ngl

-I am here for the gay proposal shenanigans and I am here for Kuea living as his honest self and great fashion choices

-So many ups and downs and miscommunications and chaos and drama and we finally, finally getting them being fully open and honest with one another and they are finally on equal footing. No one is holding most of the cards anymore, there are no more secrets between them, their souls are finally fully bared and vulnerable, no more lying, they can truly be together and love each other as they are and live their truth

-Hahaha this ending is going to make me cry

In conclusion:

It was such a good series and I had such a genuinely fun time watch it. It had a lot of great tropes I adore: arranged marriage, childhood friend to lovers, mutually unrequited love because their dumb asses.

I really adored all of the couples and thought they were all fun and sweet and cute and I had so much fun with the friend groups and all the different character dynamics

I loved the overall message of love and acceptance and communication intertwined and the argument for marriage equality, I really, really enjoyed it!! 2022 is a great year for spicy Thai BL, huh?

Also between Kim and Kuea I’m really starting to wonder if I should invest in a silver chain necklace and a leather jacket because that’s like my ideal aesthetic

Hi hi hi I'm here because I love Mo Xuanyu and I read Pocketful of Soul and I, hold on a minute actually *proceeds to cry for an hour* I love your fic so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am obsessed with it. I am enamoured by it. Words could not do it justice but lemme try. The simple concept of qiankun pouches, and the use of talismans was stunningly creative. I had so much fun reading your world building with those, and the don't look here? Chefs kiss. God i was losing my mind throughout this entire fic. When xuanyu comes back to mo manor. When madam mo is yelling at him. Oof. Then him turning time back twice against huaisangs wishes, turning it back a third time to the burial mounds. I LOVED the burial mounds section. It destroyed me when Yanli died and came back to warn them. And when wei wuxian is yelling at xuanyu to go back.

Oh god. That was heart breaking though i was still hoping there was a way to salvage that time line he still had to go back. Which is incredible to me because I never realised that in actuality going back in time doesn't automatically mean you can slavage everything the first time. Which is why it hit me twice as hard when jgy stabs little baby xuanyu???? Oh my god??? This kid is just full of trauma.

And of course he goes back again this time with wen qing who you wrote to perfection. I loved your version of her. Just incredible. And just all the magical concepts and extra characters and the family tree and just everything was so well created and this is honestly one of my favourite fics ever thank you so much for sharing it I devoured it without break i was just so insane about it and I still am

I'd love to know though how you felt and how you think xuanyu felt about leaving behind the burial mounds time line. Surely with how well eatablished it was was hard to erase everything and start over and differently with slightly different relationships between everyone?

Anyway thank you!!!!! Yout fic brought me so much joy!!

It was both hard and not to let go of each timeline, in part because I knew what was coming to a degree with each of them. Getting to the fifth jump was SUCH a relief because it finally felt like I was telling a story that would stay. The thing about the Burial Mounds timeline is that while it was truly his childhood, his growing up, the part where he was able to start to learn to be more than his collected pain, it had also broken before he went back. He'd been living elsewhere for a while. He'd had a falling out with WWX. It wasn't quite home anymore. And it had always, from shortly after he woke up in it, been temporary in a way that the next timeline was not supposed to be, and which the final timeline isn't.

But yeah, honestly LXC teaching him the mind-to-mind technique is the biggest gift, because it lets him take an emotional shortcut in the relationships he's already developed, without having to redevelop them from nothing. Nothing he's lived is lost.

Anyway, I'm delighted that the fic resonated with you so well!

Hi, Em! I was feeling nosy today, so I read your about me, and now I have a random question that I hope you don't mind answering lmao

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, but I gradually stopped presenting symptoms as I grew up. Now it's coming back to bite my ass again cause I'm god's favorite child, I guess. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how annoying is having ADHD as an adult? Cause I've been stressing about not stressing enough about the things I need to get done and, as a result, I end up doing nothing, which stresses me out even more 😭

PHEWWWWW OH MAN do i know that feeling well lmao. so i have been medicated before but i'm not currently taking anything, and i would definitely say i go through phases where my adhd feels more and less under control. it can even change day to day. some days are a 1 and some are a 10 and most fall somewhere in between. i'd say today was like a 4? i focused really hard at work and got a lot done, but i felt absolutely WIPED afterwards bc i had to push so hard lol

idk if you want advice but i'll babble, some things i've found that help me generally are:

focus music (i like pulling up lofi bts on youtube bc lyrics in any language are too distracting, or i'll do ambient noise, or video game soundtracks)

lighting specific candles when i'm focusing so my brain associates that scent with 'ok time to not fuck around'

the pomodoro method (or if that feels like too much, "just 5 minutes" - set a 5 minute timer and tell yourself you only have to do the thing for 5 minutes, most of the time you'll finish it before the timer goes off OR you'll realize it's not that bad bc now you've gotten started and you're in the flow)

regular exercise (even just going for walks!)

having a consistent sleep schedule

not over-caffeinating (i am bad at this one)

asking for help!!!!! (also bad at this one 🥴)

trying to get outside and see the sun daily

making to-do lists even if i have to write them down in 5 places

following the dopamine (aka - DO WHAT SOUNDS FUN !!)

taking baby steps and actually celebrating them

productive procrastination (ie: put off the thing i REALLY don't wanna do by doing some other stuff that doesn't sound as impossible)

allowing my rest time to TRULY be rest (by giving myself permission to do nothing and not feel guilty)

embracing the good days and doing my best to ride out the bad ones

and above everything: BEING KIND TO MYSELF BECAUSE BEING NEURODIVERGENT IS REALLY FUCKING HARD AND THE WORLD WAS NOT BUILT FOR US AND WE'RE DOING OUR BEST

wow if you didn't know i had adhd before you could definitely tell just based on how chaotic that list is 💀 i hope some/any of that helps?? you are very much not alone my friend and i am always here to talk about the struggles of being an adult with adhd 💜 please be kind to yourself! you got this!!!
