🎃SpookTober 31 Days Prompts🎃:

Day 21: Tarot🎴

Hiromu Takahashi x GN!Reader. Fluff. Tarot reading. Tarot cards. Fluff. Some magic involved. SpookTober Prompt: Tarot🎴

☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆

☆●~The Cards Reveal All~●☆

Hiromu and You try out some tarot cards, hoping to work up some magic and see what the cards say. Some funny lighthearted moments mixed with spooky vibes.

You loved tarot cards, especially collecting them. You loved their artwork and how each tarot card pack was different with different art and sometimes new cards for "yes" and "no". Hiromu shared in your love of these tarot cards and would happily help you look for new tarot cards to find.

You had wanted try your hand at tarot card reading and one October day, you and Hiromu decided to try it out. Hiromu enthusiastically helped you set up a table and picked a tarot card pack to use.

"Let's try this one" Hiromu Suggested, picking the cool Del Toro Tarot card pack and with that, you began shuffling.

You tried the 3 card method and you asked Hiromu to pick 3 cards from the deck after laying them all out.

The cards he choose you then lifted up to reveal them. You tried your best to interpet their meaning.

Flipping through the guidebook, you tried to make out the meaning behind what each card meant and hopefully give Hiromu an good interpretation of the cards.

"From how I see it, you will face some hardship but ultimately will conquer it before achieving your goal" You Explained though you were a little unsure if that's what it meant or not. Despite your doubt, Hiromu was looking at you with awe and fascination.

"Oooh! Like winning another championship? Maybe winning the super juniors?" Asked Hiromu excitedly. You chuckled at his excitement.

"Possibly yes" You Answered with a smile, seeing how Hiromu was bubbling with excitement.

"Oh! May I try?" Asked Hiromu excitedly. You smiled and handed the deck over to him. You watched as he shuffled and then lay out all the cards.

"You may pick three cards" Hiromu Announced, trying to sound mystical and mysterious. You giggled a little and moved your hand over the deck for a while before picking 3 cards.

Hiromu smiled and revealed the cards you picked. Hiromu flipped through the guidebook, hoping to also interpret the cards and what they could mean for you.

"From what I gathered, you are working towards your goal and will achieve and gain what you desire" Explained Hiromu. You smiled and felt a buzz of excitement at hearing that.

"You mean those tickets to my favourite band I've been saving and working up to get? I know I'm almost to my goal for the money to buy the tickets for us" You Replied.

"That could be it!" Smiled Hiromu and you both shared a chuckle together as the leaves fell outside your cosy little Tokyo home.

But what happened next was even more spooky and almost magical!

Hiromu did indeed, win a championship belt after a hard match. And at your work, you recently got promoted and earned a big fat raise that allowed you to buy the tickets to your favourite band's concert.

You and Hiromu decided to every now and then to try out some tarot card readings. 9 out of 10, the cards revealed themselves and the things the cards spoke of had come true strangely.

Maybe with more practice and more readings, you guys hoped that you'd both become tarot card reading experts!

Sorry again for the short story! Hope you liked the small little drabble to warm you up for the next story! Again I apologise for not posting this yesterday but as I explained, I was away.

Hopefully you like this story and the next! Thank you!

I think, at least to some degree, Lily's adamant vitriol to series like FMA in specific runs a bit deeper than what's on the surface-level like "it's shonen"

What does it have in common with her punching bags, Steven Universe, Owl House, SheRa, etc? Even Harry Potter as a more contentious/"understandable"(?) Example-

A female/afab author, getting success from their published art.

I wouldn't be shocked if she had a personal grudge against people like Hiromu Arakawa or Rumiko Takahashi for that matter. They represent something Lily can never be; a successful woman/person loved for their creations. Once you notice this as one of her patterns, it never goes away.

All Lily has to her name meanwhile are fanfiction stories beautifying the abuse shes allegedly guilty of inflicting onto her own real life sister.

And before someone counters with Hazbin Hotel: it's been affirmed Lily's liking of the series is to spite KP for questioning her. It's not born from anything sincere.

Honestly I agree with everything you said. I think Lily is on some level jealous that shows made by other woman/afab authors are popular yet hers aren't so she tears them down. Reminds me of the main character girls tearing down the cheerleader for being popular. I can't even add MLP to the mix because Tara Strong left and even then she seems to tear down that show as much as the others.

Add in reviewers like Lindsey Ellis, Sarah Z, Contrapoints and it just becomes even more apparent.

And to be clear, I'm not calling or trying to say Lily is misogynistic, just suffering from I'm not like other girls syndrome.

{Art Created on Sep 5, 2022 }

Finished this Art on stream on my Twitch Channel and I am happy with the result! Honestly was something I am extremely proud of and hope everyone who was able to attend the stream enjoyed it as well. If anyone has missed me announcing when I stream [I post on my statues posts and sometimes journals here] you can click the link down below here to my twitch channel and check it out. I also have it linked on my profile page as well.   Can say the one I am more proud of when it comes to this art piece is drawing the serpent form of Envy and I had done my best to look at one of the references from the film itself of when Envy had his jaws open during the scene fight with Ed and Envy and some of Haushofer and his men. I am super happy how he came out and also with the bottom half as well. I did my best to silhouette the humunculi in it and wanted to capture the alchemized hand and the philosopher stone [to give a nod to the art we see I think either episode 2 or 3. I forget which but I know its near the beginning of the FMA 2003 series, of the hand and the stone] This was one of the many Arts that got selected from my Twitch Channel Redeem which is called "Doodle Doodle Redeem". Its where anyone who use their channel points can select it if they got enough points to click, I have to spin the wheel I have made for myself and select anything on the wheel and I have to draw whatever show or such its on the wheel. FMA Conqueror of Shamballa was funny enough, the first it got picked. It seems to know I miss drawing FMA.   I plan to do another Doodle Art Redeem stream again maybe this week. Depending what happens. ^u^ I will keep you guys updated about it. I am honestly currently working back on a FMA Fanfiction of mine cause it needs re-works and also need to redo my FMA OC's ref a bit more. Make a brotherhood version and FMA 2003 & FMA COS refs too, because there is definitely changes that does happen in it.  Very glad to be drawing FMA Again. >:3

🌸🍡Please don’t steal and resubmit/repost my works without my permission! thanks!🍡🌸

Hello My Dears!

dreamer | reader | word weaver

Call me Rose! My gender is a *insert weird noise here* but I’m fine with she/her/they. Really just be polite and it’s all good. Can Poet be a gender? Hmmm must think on this. This blogger is 30 because the passage of time is a trap no one can escape from. Except vampires but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who wants to drink blood?

 I’m an avid bookwyrm with a massive hoard of a TBR Pile and an even larger library of books I’ve loved. Discovering fanfiction only increased my consumption of words and my fic bookmarks are a vast labyrinth to get lost in. 

This blog is a mix of books and miscellaneous fandoms run 90% by queue to give some verisimilitude of functionality/organization to my chaos. I do tag. Mostly basic tags with a rare creative tag from the early days but my tagging system is pretty self-explanatory.

Feel free to ask questions please! I love to talk books!!!

Current Reading Tag || Original Posts || 2024 Reading

"Wherever I’ve lived my room and soon the entire house is filled with books; poems, stories, histories, prayers of all kinds stand up gracefully or are heaped on shelves, on the floor, on the bed. Strangers old and new offering their words bountifully and thoughtfully, lifting my heart."

― Mary Oliver

Tag Masterlist

(last updated 9/21/24!)

As a general rule: posts will be tagged with their content, what beta they're from (one of the tests, or the open beta, possibly with a version number), and characters. Ship content will also be tagged by ship name (or character x character if there's no ship name yet).

Asks are also tagged with the asker's username (or anonymous), and submissions are tagged with the submitter's username (or anonymous) plus submissions. Responses to replies are not tagged with a username.

Posts containing potential story spoilers revealed via datamine will also be tagged p5x spoilers, so those who don't want to know in advance can filter them. Once something is in the game, it will no longer be tagged as spoilers.

This is meant to be an exhaustive list of tags used, so it's long and will get longer over time. Tumblr also has a link limit, so some of the less important/newer tags will no longer be linked on this post, though it's simple enough to visit them by going to https://p5x-theories.tumblr.com/tagged/[tag] , replacing "[tag]" with whatever tag you'd like.

My Favourite Fanfics

2022 was the year I discovered fanfiction that I enjoyed reading, and I thought I'd share my mountain of fics that really stood out to me!

Jeeves and Wooster

Green Ice - Jeeves and Wooster & Lord Peter Wimsey

I'm hesitant to explain why I like this fic so much. It was 'spoiled' for me before I read it, and I wonder what the experience would have been like if I hadn't known where it was going ahead of time. So, perhaps I'll just say that it uses Bertie Wooster's position as possible unreliable narrator to add a really interesting dimension to his character and explore an aspect of note about the Jeeves and Wooster universe, and does so within a rip-roaring mystery which feels very authentic. AND Peter Wimsey is in it!

The War of the Worlds and All That - Jeeves and Wooster

In which Jeeves and Wooster thwart an alien invasion. Which is an utterly bonkers idea, somehow pulled off because said invasion hinges around the exact kind of dilemma which is entirely commonplace in Bertie Wooster's life. I was absolutely hooting with laughter throughout this whole thing.

Sherlock Holmes

The Craven Hive - Meticulously researched and textually deep historical pastiche with some absolutely beautiful character moments. Dr Watson returns from his war service and decides to assist in the treatment of shellshocked soliders. Of course when danger is at hand, he has to call in his old friend...

The Unsinkable Ship - Another meticulously researched piece. Holmes and Watson end up on board the Titanic. Much of the work is the pair going around exploring the ship, talking to each other and their fellow passengers (often real people), and dealing with navigating retirement together. They have such an old married couple vibe in this. Oh, and then the ship gets struck by an iceberg.

The Afterlife of Dr John H Watson - Good grief thing thing is absolute exquisite torture and I've read it I don't know how many times. Has entirely changed how I read 'The Blanched Soldier' and 'The Lion's Mane'. I get very very bored at 'kissy stuff' in stories, but the pivotal kiss in this GOT ME BAD.

The Taste of Truth - Delicious dark fantasy. If Neil Gaiman had written it, it would have won a Nebula.

Grit in the Sensor - Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century - Ok ok just hear me out on this one.... Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century is a very fun but silly Saturday Morning Cartoon which had a wealth of absolutely dynamite sci-fi concepts bubbling below the surface which it didn't ever address. One of these is that there is a robot who appears to have gained sentience by reading Watson's work. This fic unpacks that concept in a beautiful heartfelt way. It's narrated from Robot Watson's point of view, which leads to a delightful mixture of 19th century patois with machine logic.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Of Skulls and Secrets - I really enjoy it when people bring in the very bonkers real life history of alchemy into FMA stories, and this piece honestly feels like it could have been an extra chapter or OVA.

FMA Beyond - I don't know what to tell you. It's like Hiromu Arakawa wrote and illustrated more Fullmetal Alchemist. I got tingles when I started reading it. It gets Al right, which is always important to me :D

Others

Ciel D'Oro - The Name of the Rose

I can't believe somebody wrote a very decent sequel to The Name of the Rose and it's on Ao3 and you can read it for free.

Mister Vimes'd Go Spare - Discworld

If you were to tell me that this was actually written by Terry Pratchett, I would believe you. In my heart, this is what happened to Sam Vimes in the end.

A Man from the Stars - Doctor Who

Officially set my mind to rest about poor Joan Redfern.

Sing Down the Stars - The Chronicles of Narnia

Very beautiful reflection on Rilian from The Silver Chair ***

That's it for now! I'm sure I'll keep adding to this as I read more stuff :D

2. what do you usually wear?

most of the time, i'm wearing pretty bland (but comfy) outfits composed of jeans or sweatpants, with t-shirts and sweaters lol. the t-shirts only sometimes happen to be like, bright orange camp half-blood ones i bought on etsy...

i do wear colorful/flowery long skirts from time to time, though!

7. what’s something you’re good at vs something you’re bad at?

i think i'm pretty great at reading (fast) and noticing misspellings on other people's texts when tasked with proofreading (yes this is very specific lmao).....also i've been doing my duolingo norwegian lessons daily for almost three months now and i'm amazed by the fact i've managed to stick to this one (1) routine when i usually am not able to keep up with this kind of thing. learning that language has done wonders to my self esteem for some reason WDXSKDHFKS

hmmm i'm bad at relaxing and getting things done. and i'm kind of a shitty sibling :/

8. if you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year?

not from this year but one of my favorite written works is an old fanfiction wip i wrote back in 2019 (i think) and have been re-reading with my friends last week. they ended up binge-reading the manga it's based on thanks to me and... i don't have any specific favorite line but receiving compliments on this piece of writing from them made my day and i am even more proud of it <3

Thank you for tagging me, @mugoki! ♡⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ ) I love these types of games.

Nickname: Megumi  🥰 

Sign: Gemini ♊ 

Height: 1,59m

Last thing googled: IKEA 🤭  I'm buying the last pieces of furniture I need for my flat tomorrow and I've been compulsively checking all types of bookshelves, chests of drawers and organising items they have.

Song stuck in my head: "I guess I just lost my husband, I don't know where he went..." 🤣🤣🤣 I guess they're playing Pink too much on music TV channels.

Number of followers: 240 (and grateful for/to every single one of them ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ )

Amount of sleep: Less that I should have 💤 

Dream job: Being a writer. I love stories since I was a little child and I started writing fanfiction at 13/14 yo, though I didn't even know it was called that. In the last years I started writing originals and though I'm a really slow writer (work and things in my personal life prevent me from writing as much as I'd love to), nothing makes me happier than a computer/a pen and a notebook (well, except books).

Lucky number: 5

Movies/books that summarize you: OMG, so difficult, I had never thought about this... I think Gone with the Wind + The Young Victoria with a BIG pinch of warm moving Christmas books/films and an ever BIGGER one of Jane Austen's novels

Favorite song: It's impossible to choose just one! I love too many, of all genres and times...

Aesthetic: Definitely Victorian and romantic (bustles, crinolines, lace, flowers...).

Favorite instrument: The violin and the piano. I started learning the first as an adult and it made me realise that music is really for everyone. It changed my ideas and my world. And I'd love to resume learning. And once I have more free time, I'll start with the piano.

Favorite authors: Jane Austen, she's my all-time favourite writer. Besides, I love a bunch of romance authors, such as Sarah M. Eden, Ali Hazelwood or Carla Kelly. In the non-romance department, Preston&Child, Robert L. Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe and Becquer among others. Favourites manga authors include Arakawa Hiromu, Toboso Yana, Enjouji Maki and Adachi Mitsuru ✨

Favorite animal noises: Another one I had never thought about but, maybe the steps of a dog as they are coming to see/greet you (I love dogs 🐶💕)

Random: Today is rainy, winter is coming and I want to hybernate till spring. Can it be summer all year round? ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

i'm being nosy tonight so feel free to ignore any repeats, writing asks: (2) why do you write fanfiction? (4) are there any writers that inspire you? (9) which character(s) do you find most difficult to write? (12) tell us about a wip you're excited about (16) any guilty pleasure trope(s)? and (31) do you have any ocs? tell me about them!

2: I used to write to escape my reality of an abusive relationship/marriage. Now I write because it's fun to take the dolls and smush them together and make them kiss. I also like bestowing The Agonies on the highest blorbos. Will is about to get that treatment.

4: Kinda. I tend to just read whatever and forge my own path with writing. I take bits and pieces of fanon and weave them in. A lot of what inspires me is music over other writers.

9: When I was writing my Wrestlebang I found the Bucks pretty hard to write. I also think trying to approach a pairing like Despe/Hiromu is a bit tricky for me because I want to understand the culture more before I try.

12: Surrendered Warnings is what I'm excited about. It's going to be a series based off what I wrote this weekend and focus on navigating a poly relationship and angst from unrequited love and rejection. I'm pumped for it! Again, The Agonies.

16: Not really. I think stripper au's are interesting but I don't really feel guilty over anything.

31: I have a few and I've written them before, but no one engaged with the fics so I abandoned them.

[hangon-silvergirl]

Hey girl, R?

Hey hey heeeeeeeeey 😘 Thanks for ask!

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

For published authors, L.M. Montgomery (I love all of the Anne books), J.R.R. Tolkien, Diana Gabaldon, Alan Bradley, Gregory Maguire, Patrick Ness, Suzanne Collins, and @neil-gaiman. Also Hiromu Arakawa because Fullmetal Alchemist is damn near perfect in every way. For fanfiction my roots are in HP. The Shoebox Project by dorkorific and ladyjaida (a Remus/Sirius story) was one absolutely foundational, and I still reread it from time to time; same with @copperbadge's Stealing Harry series. Before text/social-media based fics were very popular, Text Talk by merlywhirls became a big source of inspiration for my FMA fic, It's Not a Big Deal, and cemented it as a medium I enjoy stories being told through. Another one that I have gone back to over and over through the years is The Maddest House by busaikko.

First Omegaverse Anime?! Let's Get to Know Tadaima Okaeri is All About!

 [Complete cast of Tadaima Okaeri] The Omegaverse is a world where biology dictates social roles, with Alphas, Betas, and Omegas each possessing unique traits. 

It's a captivating concept that's exploded in popularity, particularly in fanfiction or mangas. This trope is all about heightened senses, pheromones that drive you wild, and even special body parts that come into play during mating! 

Then there are heats and ruts, where hormones take over, and everyone's just gotta find a mate. If not, how else are you going to alleviate yourself?

Considering the explicit nature of this trope, it’s pretty understandable why it hasn’t made it to the big screen. 

So why is Tadaima Okaeri the exception?

Plot Summary



[Alt Text: Tadaima Okaeri - Masaki, Hiromu, and Hikari at a playgroud]

Tadaima Okaeri is a slice of life anime set in the Omegaverse.

The story follows Masaki and Hiromu, an alpha-omega couple. These two live in domestic bliss with their beautiful child, Hikari, whom they can barely keep up with at times!

Throughout the anime, we see these two doing the most mundane tasks. Raising their kid, loving one another, and even making friends!

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Masaki might doubt his parenting skills, and Hiro could face work stress. But they're not alone! They’ve got supportive neighbors who can offer to watch Hikaru or even friends they can rely on to help them when needed!

If you’re looking for a feel-good anime with green flags all around, this is definitely for you!

What is Omegaverse?

Omegaverse is an alternate universe where everybody has a second gender:

 [ALT TEXT: Omegaverse explained in an infographic]

Alphas (A): The dominant class. Often portrayed as strong, assertive, and with heightened senses. They may have a more "warrior-like" or leadership role in society. During mating cycles (called ruts), they experience strong urges to find a partner.

Betas (B): The neutral middle ground. Often seen as well-rounded individuals who don't possess the extremes of Alphas or Omegas. They can hold any position in society and are generally fertile.

Omegas (O): The submissive class. They are typically described as fertile, nurturing, and with heightened senses of smell and emotion. Omegas experience heats, where their bodies become receptive to mating, and they may crave physical intimacy.

This social order can get pretty intense. It can often lead to conflicts about their roles.

But the Omegaverse can be super inclusive, too, with all sorts of couples and folks fitting in however they see fit. 

And, of course, there's pregnancy! Omegas are usually the ones carrying the babies, and sometimes, they get this intense nesting instinct where they have to build a cozy nest (just like a bird).

The beauty of Omegaverse is that it allows homosexual pairings to have children of their own in another universe. 

Some stories play it super angsty, others are all about the fluffy romance, and then you've got stuff like Tadaima Okaeri, which throws a curveball and just shows a normal family doing their thing – with a dash of Omegaverse thrown in for good measure.  

What Makes Tadaima Okaeri Stand Out in the Omegaverse

 [Alt Text: Tadaima Okaeri - Masaki, Hiromu, and Hikari bathing together]

Most omegaverse stories tend to be pretty dramatic. The main reason for this? Pheromones. 

Omegas and Alphas naturally have pheromones to help them find an ideal mate. However, this can drive an omega or alpha to go by instinct instead of logic. And when it does happen, things can get pretty messy and sad.

But this isn’t the only conflict that many Omegaverse stories run down to the ground. There’s also this whole thing about societal expectations.



[Love is an Illusion couple Dojin and Hyesung]

Alphas are expected to be successful and marry an omega with good genes. They’re not allowed to love betas or other alphas. Why waste dominant genes like that? You’d be a failure if you do.

However, Omegas have it even harder in the Omegaverse. When they get into heat, they tend to attract other people besides their chosen mates. They are also discriminated against and mistreated due to their second gender.

TLDR: A lot of Omegaverse stories are pretty depressing, which is ironic, considering this was created in order for the LGBTQ+ to have children.

That's why Tadaima Okaeri is such a breath of fresh air – it ditches the drama and shows a normal family doing their thing. 

There are no dramatic heats, forbidden love, or societal clashes. It’s just a really adorable story about a couple raising their kid together!

Why You Should Watch Tadaima Okaeri

If you've reached this point and haven't been convinced yet - man, are you one tough nut! But maybe this will help convince you:

If you're looking for a feel-good anime with relatable characters and a healthy dose of heartwarming moments, Tadaima Okaeri is definitely worth checking out. 

It's especially perfect for fans of slice-of-life stories or anyone who enjoys seeing a positive portrayal of an LGBTQ+ family. 

However, if you're craving a more action-packed or drama-filled Omegaverse experience, this might not be the one for you. But hey, there's something for everyone in the anime world, right?

5 and 13 for the ask game?

5. what inspires you to write?

To be honest? Just a pure, deep seated passion and a desire to make people happy through my writing.

When I was a kid, my sister and I would play with beanie babies. We made a whole world and story out of it… and we talked about writing it. Before I knew it, it was my dream to be the youngest published writer.

…Needless to say, that didn’t happen. And probably a good thing, ‘cause… my first few stories were rough. DX’

I started really writing with fanfiction when I was in high school. Started with Sonic, then switched mostly to the Tales series. And I knew back then that my writing needed work. My scenes were tiny little blips with just a bunch of dialogue. But I wanted to be better.

So with every story I published, I practiced. I challenged myself to get better and improve on the things I lacked. Nothing really motivated me to do so except that fire inside of me that wanted to share my stories with the world.

I still want that, more than anything. I want to write stories people will fall in love with, that’ll stick with them long after reading it… I want to make a positive impact with my stories.

I guess in a way, TWEWY also inspires me, ‘cause I dream of writing a story as wonderful and impactful as those games are.

But either way, as long as my stories make people happy, then that’s all that matters to me in the end~ 💕

13. who are your favorite writers?

…and darn, this is the question I was kinda dreading. 😅😅

As someone who also writes original stories, there’s a significant number of writers who think you have to read to be a good writer. And I don’t doubt that it helps… but I struggle to sit down and make time for reading a lot of the time. I’d just rather be writing.

Growing up, my favorite author was Tamora Pierce. But I haven’t really read a book like that in forever… and last one I read of hers, I just couldn’t get into the same way.

All that said, I do very much value the stories you can find in other mediums, from games to anime to movies. I’ve spent countless hours analyzing them with my friends, and that’s been my way to study what plot points work or don’t work and why.

Though, that also makes it hard to define my favorite writers… But if we were to look at manga, then I have three, along with reasons why~

Hiromu Arakawa: I absolutely love the world building of Fullmetal Alchemist. And I love how she built the plot into the whole country. It’s truly a wonderful, mysterious plot the characters have to figure out together, and Hiromu Arakawa does a beautiful job of building up to it while following a few different groups of characters.

Jun Mochizuki: While I haven’t been able to keep up with The Case Study of Vanitas due to the… uncomfortable bloodsucking scenes (sorry I’m ace, so those scenes just don’t work for me), Jun Mochizuki still has a place on this list due to the amazing writing of Pandora Hearts alone. The twists and turns the plot goes through are so captivating, and I strive to have a reveal as eye-opening as the whole Jack thing. If you haven’t read Pandora Hearts, read it. And if that manga’s anything to go by, then prepare for some huge revelations to come in The Case Study of Vanitas.

AidaIro: I only recently found Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, but it’s also an amazing work with lots of mystery. On top of that, I lovvveee the way they write the characters and comedic beats—they’re all so quirky and perfect, yet they’re allowed to get serious when the story calls for it. They somehow manage to bring together every little thing I love in writing in a way I can only hope to accomplish one day 💕

And… if you look at those examples, they all encompass one of the major things I said on the themes stuff before—mysterious, complex plots that change the status quo time and again. Combine that with amazing characters and a little lighthearted humor alongside the serious adventure, and you’ve just spelled out the perfect writing style for me 💕

Secret

Not sure what this can be considered. Fluff/Angst/maybe a bit of both? I don't know.

Pairing: Hiromu Takahashi/OC

Thank you @ghostofviper for inspiring me to write this with your own truly amazing fics!

So this being my first ever thing written related to NJPW period, excuse me while I go run and hide. Hopefully it's not horrible.

Freya was surprised she had managed to keep her secret for the entire time that she'd been working (well arguing and being annoyed) with LIJ. If anyone were to find out she would've bet almost anything on it being one of them and that it would've already been out. But luckily she'd kept it to herself. Not that her particular secret would've even been one any of them cared about. It wasn't a juicy secret they could necessarily blackmail her with to get what they wanted. All was good. Her secret was still safe.

Until now.

All it had taken was a broken strap at the worst time, sending the contents of her purse cascading to the floor. If that wasn't bad enough, it happened right in front of Hiromu. Which normally wouldn't have been such a bad thing... if he hadn't decided to be nice and help her pick up everything. Of all times he had to do something nice for her, why now? Where were the others when you needed them around? No way would Hiromu help her if they were around. He wouldn't want to send them the wrong message. Especially considering they'd all spent the past two months trying to push her to her breaking point so she would quit.

"What are those?" he asked, zeroing in on the one thing Freya didn't want him to the most.

Freya reached out to retrieve the object, but Hiromu was quicker.

"Why do you have pills?" he wondered, turning the bottle in his hands, reading the labels.

Freya shrugged. "Nothing," she said, trying to grab it from him.

He pulled his hand back farther, shaking his head. "Tell me what they are for, first."

Sighing, Freya immediately told him what he wanted to know. She was ready to get her stuff back and go find a quiet place to curl into a ball and hide forever. "They're anti-depressants."

His eyes narrowed. "You're depressed?"

"Ever since my teen years," she told him, reaching for the bottle again. "Not that you care."

Hiromu paused mid way of giving her the bottle. "How would you know?"

Freya rolled her eyes. "Seriously? Have you forgotten the way you and your brothers have been treating me ever since I started working with you?"

"Doesn't mean I don't care."

"Oh, please." Freya scoffed. "Are you honestly going to tell me this is like grade school where the boy likes the girl and pulls her pigtails and antagonizes her because he doesn't know how else to tell her he likes her?"

"What if I did?"

Freya bellowed. "I would probably slap you and then say that you are definitely playing a trick on me. I've seen you with many women, playing the same mind games with each of them. So sorry if I find it hard to believe that you actually like me," she answered. "Oh, and then I'd quit because Naito would want to hurt me for slapping you."

"People can surprise you," he told her. "I wouldn't tell Naito."

Well, he was right about that if he really wouldn't tell Naito if that happened. A definite surprise there. Freya just didn't know whether she was buying what he was selling.

"Can I have my pills, please?" she asked instead of pressing the conversation further.

Without any hesitation, he gave them to her and stood up.

"I mean what I said, no one would or will know about any of this conversation. Only us. Maybe then you'll believe me."

With those parting words, he turned and sauntered down the hallway.

Freya was left kneeling there, surprised and confused by their entire encounter.

Later that day, she was even more surprised when she realized he truly did mean what he had said. He hadn't said a word to his brothers. Not a soul.

Her secret was still safe.

{Work Created on   Oct 13, 2022   }

🌸 Please Do Not Steal, Trace, Use AI on my work, steal and sell my works for NFT's, and Repost/Resubmit my Works. Thank You. 🌸 Yep these two are back and I am honestly thinking of making a Instagram account focusing on the two cause why not [which I'll add to my carrd website for you guys to check it out down below] ANYWAYS SO YEAH MORE CONTENT OF THESE TWO. CAUSE I CAN the timeline here is with FMA Brotherhood where Ed visits Winry getting work on his automail before heading off with Greedling and the chimera guys. This does pop up in the story that is still being written about these two and I have been working on it off and on for years and just want to perfect the story before submitting it at least. So Emmy couldn't sleep after over hearing with Greedling and Edward about the fact that it would be best to leave Emmy behind [and it was during the trip heading back to Resembool] because knowing how the humunculi are they'll go after anyone who Edward cares about the most and do anything they can to keep them in their clutches. Winry was one of the hostages they planned to use on Ed and the worst gets when its Emmys life in the line as well. Emmy has fought her hardest even though she hasn't completely healed from the mine injuries she received that was not pleasant at all. luckily the injuries wasn't too serious to cause permanent damage but she was horribly hospitalized with limited supply but pulled through and went to the doctor the chimeras took her to like they did with Edward. Emmy couldn't sleep she had so much thought going on as she was worried when Edward leaves it'll be the last she sees him, of course she's worrying so much since she's used to tagging along with the brothers, especially Ed. So it will be the first she is separated from them until they return back home. Edward had a feeling she's been acting very off and decided to finally confront her and by luck they were completely alone in one of the rooms to talk in private. Which is something they rarely get to have between them since so much has been going on with everything that has happened. Edward assures her of a promise that he'll come back alive because he never plans on dying, because he has everyone waiting for him even his brother to count on him to get his body back and he never plans on dying what so ever. Emmy just wants to spend as much time with him as possible just the two of them, since this was a rarity they ever get privacy and time alone with themselves as life granted that as they were alone for the rest of the night. I love how this came out. I did my best making Edward in vroid the best I can. I do wish there's FMA outfits I can use on him but there hasn't been any that popped up that was decent and good which saddens me. [i even looked up on any models anyone made of him and its nothing but old models that doesn't even look good, i applaud to them however for trying.] I plan to make more content with the two again I just been very busy, got large commissions to work with still but its getting there. I do have old EdxEm arts I plan to redraw. I still have the large fanfiction of the two to work on as well as I plan to do a FMA 2003 series version and conqueror of shamballa version. Plus brotherhood since I like to give a variety for those who like brotherhood, for those who like the 2003 series. So yeah! :3 hope you guys enjoy!!

Hello My Dears!

I realized that a pinned introduction post would be wise. This realization did not actually tell me the best way to do this XP so excuse my nonsense. Or enjoy it! Enjoying it would be nice!

To get the necessities out of the way:

 Call me Rose! My gender is a *insert weird noise here* but I’m fine with she/her/they. Really just be polite and it’s all good. This blogger is closer to 30 than they would like because the passage of time is a trap. I’m a Taurus so I've warned you all about how stubborn and ridiculous I can be. No claims of surprise on that front allowed. In theory I’m a poet and prose writer but in practice I’m in the middle of a slump on the wordy front.

 I’m an avid bookwyrm with a massive hoard of a TBR Pile and an even larger library of books I’ve loved. Discovering fanfiction only increased my consumption of words and my fic bookmarks are a vast labyrinth to get lost in. 

This blog is a mix of book and miscellaneous fandoms run 90% by queue to give some verisimilitude of functionality/organization to my chaos. I do tag. My book related tags are honestly basic and the fandom stuff is mostly titles. There are a few lingering custom tags from when my blog was shiny new and I had dreams of being Creative™ but never without the simple tags for clarity. I don’t tag for ships. I’m a shameless multishipper with an armada behind me spanning way too many fandoms to count with new interests as the wind blows. No, really I’ve been lurking in the fandom areas of the internet for a very long time. When nostalgia hits weird things end up on my blog.

Favorite Poets:  Mary Oliver, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, John Keats, Rumi, E.E. Cummings, Leonard Cohen, Andrea Gibson, Billy Collins, Ocean Vuong, Richard Siken, & many many more

Favorite Authors:  Terry Pratchett, Ursula K. Le Guin, Neil Gaiman,

 Becky Chambers, Ben Aaronovitch, Robin McKinley, Megan Whalen Turner, Tamora Pierce, Phillip Pullman, Tanya Huff, Eiichiro Oda, Hiromu Arakawa, T. Kingfisher, Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù, J.R.R. Tolkien, & many many more

And a small selection of fandoms that end up on my blog:  

Batfamily, Star Wars, MDZS, TGCF, SVSSS, BNHA, ASOIAF, Discworld, Sandman, FMA, One Piece, Sailor Moon, The Magicians, Studio Ghibli, LotR, Clamp, Black Sails, The Queen’s Thief, & many many more
