#honestly this has been haunting me lmfao

[dea-thynote]

Death note au idea (that came to me from a dream) where literally after L dies, he wakes up and seemed to have time travelled. It would've been fine, better even for him, if it weren't for the fact he woke up as Light yagami.

What happened in my dream was that after L dies he literally just wakes up in light's body, from the first day that the yagami household is under survelliance. But he doesn't notice that first because he literally just died. He panics, puts a hand on his heart and feels it beating before sighing in relief. After calming down, he puts his knees to his chest and bites his nails, looking down, and numerous thoughts wonder to his head but there is one thing for certain.

He was right. Light yagami IS kira.

He needs to do something about this, and if he's still alive, he would be able to test the death note and put both kiras to prison but... he looks around and sees that he's no longer in HQ. The place is famili-- this is light's room. And then he just hears ryuk trying to communicate with him, and in shock falls down, before looking at ryuk again, his eyes twinkles. I just remember L in disbelief whispers '... another shinigami' that was totally audible to the wiretaps alright.

(But I never dreamt of what L, soichiro and watari'a reaction was. If I were to guess it would be similar with the response video by misa.)

He composes himself, and thinks, ryuk laughs at his reaction, but seemingly more amused with what's above his head with the way he had been staring at it. He looks down again and sees different clothing, it seemed right but also wrong. That's when he realizes, this is not his body. When Light (L) was about to ask ryuk questions, he shuts his mouth again. As he felt that he was being watched. A realisation dawns to him.

He's currently light yagami, and at the time the yagami household is under survelliance.

And now L has to struggle trying to act as light, which he does terribly, and avoid dying again, and as kira at that.

I don't remember much, I just remember like these snippets of him being scolded by sachiko everytime he slouched, puts his feet on the chair, or does his staring. That when he gets scolded his eyes down turns and if his face weren't emotionless, it would look like he's pouting.

The thing is, L is a great liar but not as much as an actor. Or when it comes to controlling his facial features, to make a comforting smile, an earnest chuckle or make a worried look. He often just defaults to blank. (This is a head Canon if I'm wrong lmfao I have to finished the anime help).

I dunno if he was able to actually pull it off, but what I DO remember is that HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE POTATO CHIP.

That is all, thank you.

A/N: happy enha comeback day!! i absolutely loved XO lmfao I really needed that fresh cute enha concept after all the vampires and blood. Moonstruck is just INSANE I'm so glad it isn't an intro LOL. Also the insane bf looks they served in the MV like !!! I too would like to go on a rooftop date with Heesung maybe 😞

Jake’s pupils are blown wide as he stares directly into the black abyss of where a normal girl’s eyes would be. A girl who wasn’t covered in blood maybe. A girl who didn’t possess superhuman strength and didn’t want to kill them in the most creative ways possible. It’s also the only thing he sees as the bloodied hand of the Red Girl, as the group had imaginatively named her, clutched his white school shirt. The fingers easily lifted him with dexterity, and casually flung him across the art classroom where he hid, his neck brutally impaled by the wood of the easel. 2 down, 8 more to go. 8 out of the 10 people who had been, against their will, sucked into this sick game. The Body Search.

The Day before as the Same Day : 10AM

Jungwon is nervously pulling his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he looks at each of the members of this little horror club, none of them meeting his eyes. He can’t really blame them, watching how their foreheads creased in worry and concentration as they scanned through all the evidence and information Jungwon had presented spread across the library table - newspaper articles, old books and heavy paperbacks all laid out for them. 

“So you’re telling me, that this little girl is using us because the cops never found her body when she was murdered? What does that have to do with us? Why do we have to find her body?”. Sunoo is exasperated, but mostly filled with concern. How many nights would they have to continue dying, only to wake up in the same day? “The parts are stashed across the school you say?”. It’s Giselle who interrupts, Heesung beside her rubbing her arm up and down in an attempt to comfort his girlfriend. But how could you comfort someone knowing that they were gonna die a painful death in a few hours time? 

“Why can’t we find them now?”, the deeper voice of Riki asks, and Jungwon just sighs when he explains, “That’s the game. It’s only at night. And you have to run from her. Honestly, even I don’t know more. Based on the books, that's how it’s done. And based on the news reports, she’s the only victim that checks out.” 

“It’s quite horrid though, what happened to her, is it not?”. Y/N’s voice is sort of shaky when she says this, the girl slightly worried about all the people surrounding her. “To be dismembered this horribly after that man kills your entire family, only to have your corpse go missing? She must not be able to rest peacefully.” Humming along, Jay added, “That’s true for sure. It’s quite tragic what happened to her”, making eye contact with Y/N as he did, his chocolate eyes gleaming with pity for the little girl. “But what I also don’t get is why she’s trying to kill us, when we’re just helping her rest easy?”.

“That’s what confuses me as well!” Jungwon added enthusiastically, and he just gestured at the books around him. “That’s the one thing I couldn’t find in here. Why is she trying to kill us?”

“Point is then, that we have to find her body parts right. Okay then.” As Park Sunghoon had disinterestedly made his entrance, he left the same way, hands shoved deep into his pockets and a scowl adorning his handsome features. Jake and Jay sprinted behind him, the two walking beside him, harsh discussion being whispered between them. Soon after the group adjourned, jarred by the discoveries Jungwon had brought forward. Sunoo and Riki went off towards their respectful classes, while Jungwon and Y/N walked together on their own. After contemplating it for a while, Y/N cracked open, and spilled what she saw to Jungwon - the well by the chapel and the hands. The flower pot. Jungwon nodded along, clearly disturbed by what she told him - and confessed to a similar vision he saw in the washroom, of a bloody hand reaching at his foot from under a stall. 

“Why do you think it’s only the ten of us who were chosen? We have dozens of students here, and yet all ten of us have nothing in common.” Jungwon asked inquisitively. “Hmm, I’m not sure. Maybe that’s the objective. Finding the most different people to put into this game. To slow us down maybe.” 

Jake had his lips pursed tightly as he continued witnessing the heated debate between Jay and Sunghoon. “We’re your fucking friends, dipshit! You can tell us anything man! But ghosting us for days on end, cutting off all ties? That’s low.” Jay spat out in anger towards Sunghoon, who’s forehead displayed a vein visibly ticking in annoyance. “I can’t fucking do anything okay!” Sunghoon just shouts back, the walls he built cracking down in the face of the confrontation of the friends he’s had since elementary school. “Ice skating and basketball. This and that. I’m fucking sick. I’m sick of the coach pushing this competition on us. It always ends up with me compromising one over the other, only because of how greedy he is for the medals, for the medals he never won. I’m a tool! A tool he projects on and I hate it! And most of all, I’m sick of the way I'm starting to hate both of them.” Sunghoon heaves a large breath after the last sentence, crumbling down to his knees as he does, while Jake and Jay stand there in shock, and sadness. It’s always been this trio of theirs. Ever since elementary, arms linked. The three could take over the world. Slowly inching towards Sunghoon, Jake ran his hand soothingly over Sunghoon’s back, and soon Jay joined, letting the silence and the weight of Hoon’s confession settle over them.

1AM : Current Day which is the Same Day

Jay and Y/N found themselves together in a classroom again. However, this time it seemed deliberate, and it was. Jay wanted to keep an eye on Y/N. To keep the girl close to him so he could keep her away from harm’s way - even though that was quite impossible here, in this twisted game they found themselves in. The lights were turned on in every classroom they could find on that floor, and the pair crouched around shelves trying to find any clues about the whereabouts of the dead girl’s missing body parts. “You know Y/N, for someone who declared themselves queen of tag when we were five, you don’t seem that good at your job”. The time the two spent in that classroom had opened up to a conversation and light hearted jokes, which blossomed to a budding interest as the two conversed, with Y/N not treating it as a conversation with her crush that would usually leave her as a blushing, stuttering mess, but rather, as a catch up with an old friend. An old friend whom she’d liked since middle school, with the kindest smile and the most wonderful humor. “Aw Jay, do you want to steal some of my Princess Pony bandaids again, just in case you get hurt again?”, Y/N teasingly jabbed back, to which Jay gave a genuine laugh and said, “Not my fault the bandaids looked good. Smelled good too.” The lights above them blinked once. Then again. Sensing danger, the two ran after sharing the same look of horror, and went into the storage room that was often used to keep supplementary books. Flicking the light switch inside the room that seemed to fail to light up, the two could only use the light from the illuminated fish tank in the room. That’s when Y/N let out a rather loud gasp, startling Jay who asked her fervently, “What happened?”. Pointing at the fishtank, they both saw the single forearm, tinged brown and covered in decaying bruises and yellowish veins, floating in the water. The lights in the main classroom seemed to flicker even more aggressively now, blinking angrily as the feet of the Red Girl came into view. Both of them knew what they had to do. Reaching into the fishtank and grabbing the severed arm, Y/N and Jay ran into the classroom, the Red Girl running towards them at the same time. “Chapel Y/N, now!”. Wielding a chair Jay had picked up, he madly swung it at the Red Girl just before she could reach Y/N, pinning her down against the wall, exerting all his might to make sure Y/N got away with enough safe distance. Turning slightly back, he looked to double check. Immediately, the Red Girl used this opportunity to jam the metal leg of the chair right through Jay, blood gurgling and spilling out of his mouth, as his eyes watered and went slack, falling completely to the floor. 

Y/N ran and ran, determined to get to the chapel. That’s when she saw the faces of NingNing and Giselle, sweaty and looking towards her, with an urgency in their eyes when they spotted the arm with Y/N. But as quickly as the look appeared, a look of fear washed over their faces. The Red Girl. Taunting Y/N as she took a few steps, smiling madly. Then, she began sprinting, sporting the same blood-curdling grin. Giselle jumped to action, pressing down hard on the button that began pulling down the shutters and gate of that hallway. “Are you mad, Y/N is out there!” NingNing screamed. “So what, do you want to die too?” Giselle retaliated. “Come on Y/N!!” NingNing urged, holding her hand out for Y/N, as the gate kept lowering, its mechanical groaning deafening against the quiet of the night. Sliding against the smooth floor, Y/N made it in the nick of time, with the hand in tow, gate dropping just before the Red Girl could cross over. Standing up, with Giselle’s back facing the gate she looked to the two girls and explained, “We need to get this arm into the coffin.” Grudges for how the two were ready to leave her out there could be settled later. This was more important. Nodding, Giselle said, “Yeah, for sure, let’s go.”. The metal of the gate moved up, metal bending unnaturally as a red hand appeared underneath it, grabbing Giselle by the ankle and pulling her down. The entire thing happening before Ning Ning and Y/N could even register it. A pool of blood appeared immediately, spreading down from under the floor, as the hand reached out again to grab Y/N this time, screaming as she went under, the hand flying into the air and landing onto the floor as it happened. Not wasting a second, NingNing grabbed the arm like hell. The coffin right in front of her as she reached the chapel, she frantically searched which arm it was that fit the cream colored molding. As soon as she placed the arm down on the coffin’s bedding, the Red Girl launched herself on NingNing’s shoulders, deftly snapping her neck in two, NingNing’s vision going immediately black, as the last thing she was a rotten hand lying on white cushions. 

The four are gathered again by the stairwell. “Sunoo and I didn’t make it quite far the second time. She seemed to find us quite immediately.” “Yeah, neither did I. I handled the Red Girl so Gi could escape”, a sheepish Heesung admitted, rubbing nis neck with one hand while Giselle clasped the other, squeezing it in appreciation. “Same, I stalled her so that Y/N could- hey did you get the arm in?”, Jay asked, spinning to face Y/N, startled by the spotlight on her. “Uh, I got killed right after Giselle.” “I got the arm in, don’t worry.” NingNing reassured the rest. “We’re one arm in guys. One body part down.”

“We can’t keep doing this blindly guys. We’re gonna need a plan” Sunghoon said. “I’d much rather go into this with a structure than just get gutted all the time.” A plan was required, that was true. And with the same idea, all nine of them turned their heads to look at Jungwon, who’s eyes widened. “Right, so now everyone needs me. Come to the library at lunch. I have a plan.”, the boy with glasses assured with a confident smirk on his face.

The scene felt almost familiar, with the way they were all huddled around the library table. This time, Jungwon had a blueprint map of their school spread out, and two markers in his hand. Enthusiastically the boy presented, "I give you the Rocker Mix Plan!", as he gestured with jazz hands on the map. Blankly the group just tilted their heads at him, failing to understand what the boy was talking about. Clearing his throat from the awkwardness, with a single red marker, he colored in the room Jay and Y/N had found the arm in. "Okay guys, look. Jay and Y/N found the arm in this room right. So this room is cleared. I've also noticed that the Red Girl also seems to be attracted to sound and lights. And we just have to use that to our advantage." "The PA system", NingNing said with a gasp, eyes widening in realisation as she slowly understood Jungwon's plan. Snapping his fingers at NingNing in joy, glad to have found someone who has caught on to his plan, he exclaimed, "Exactly! We play whatever music or something through the PA systems to distract her, or confuse her. That way we can search the rooms more easily. And then we report back on which rooms we've searched and cleared." "Jungwon you freaking Einstein genius. Have you registered for the Mensa? I think you should", Jake said with a laugh and awe, slapping the boy on his back in praise, which made Jungwon beam in pride. "Let's start off with this first, and adapt as we go."

Deciding to boost the morale up, Riki just cheered, "What's a creepy little girl to us, bro? We got this! Lets fucking do this!", he hollered, which was met with a harsh shushing from the librarian paired with a stern glare that made Riki just cower away.

The group giggled at this youngest's antics. They weren't going to go into this blindsided anymore. This time, they were gonna be prepared.

with all these asks im resigning myself more and more to the bittersweet ending of them not getting back together but it being for the benefit of them all 😭

they obviously love eachother so much but for several chapters there’s this idea that’s been floating in the back of my head haunting me lol. idk when it’s mentioned, but you said in an ask that ‘simon’s job when he’s home is just darling’ in that he shoulders taking care of her. which is so lovely and when she isn’t doing well it seems necessary, BUT i feel like its cruel long term. he almost sets her up to fail (not on purpose) bc he gives her all of the support and attention he can and then he goes basically no contact for an indeterminate amount of time in a very dangerous environment where he can’t guarantee he’ll ever come home, and when she falters without the crutch, he gets home and has to do so much legwork just for her to get back to “baseline”. and this repeats over and over and she never gets the opportunity to really take control of her own health and wellness.

i can’t see it working longterm if one or both of the boys stays on fieldwork, but i feel like simon talking to price was about getting to him to switch to deskwork but the Hand of Author God makes me feel like him switching wouldn’t have worked if bringing it up for the first time made everything so fucked up like this lmao. like, for this whole blowup to happen because she never let him finish his sentence to say “i’m switching off fieldwork” seems like too much of a consequence for it to be the ONLY problem with the plan

him being on deskwork fixes the on-off support with darling, but he’d probably be miserable and then johnny would be alone in the field without his support. and the 141 would be definitely kneecapped if half their team transitioned to deskwork, and i feel like there’s too much camaraderie for them to leave Price and Gaz high and dry like that

i think it’ll end up happy but not in the way that erases all of the issues that have been building. which sucks. but is very empowering to darling, to potentially see her get out of the cycle of hurt that honestly hurts MORE since it comes from such pure intentions. she loves her boys and they love her but it’s so hard on them all :’)))) maybe a few years down the line when she’s more solid and self-sufficient she could withstand the downsides of their job better, and maybe by then they’d be semi retired from age or injury anyways, but idk. then it starts to become simple math HAHAHA

id love for u to prove me entirely wrong and be like no actually the power of love fixes it all, they all get happy and pseudo married or whatever and no one is sad ever again but i feel like you’re not gonna do that lmfao

anyways hugs and kisses for this story its eating me alive HAHAHA

All I will say is happy endings are ✨ subjective ✨ but don’t resign yourself to anything, just wait and see 🖤

[sundaeserenade]

I saw a post (I think it mightve been your reblog) about how my silver might've functioned as a white room and Red might've forgotten how people used to look like. How do you think he would deal with that.

It didn't even occur to me that red hasn't had human contact for years I thought maybe green or gold or leaf might've visited him semi regularly.

But honestly him being cut off from everyone has so much angst potential I really like that idea.

Oh and you're awesome I love your fics so much <3

Well, thank you for reading my stuff, first off! I really appreciate that!

Hmm 🤔in my AU's or canon or whatever, I always see Green/Gold/Leaf visiting Red, so he's not truly alone. But playing around with the idea of everyone thinking he's dead and moving on and Red still just being (barely) alive is neat!

I'm always here for Red being a phantom/ghost of Mt. Silver, and I'm not sure what would drive him back down the mountain, maybe his self-discipline runs out and he can't take it anymore. I don't know. Or supplies or maybe a terribly horrible winter, the worst Johto has ever seen. Maybe then.

But he'd be a mess, for sure. Barely alive, a ghost both in appearance and in interaction, because he'd have no clue how to interact with people and I see that overwhelming him. He'd probably find some place to hide out to wait out the winter and then go right back up Mt. Silver LMFAO

But also -- people stumbling upon him. Gold finding him, thinking he was dead. Red would have no idea how to respond to people. He'd recoil from touch. It'd take a very long time for him to be "okayish" again.

I think being up on the mountain for so long, Red formed these ideas of how people looked and talked and all that. Like he came up with his own narrative to cope or pass the time or give his brain something to do. So seeing that the story in his head isn't true would upset him.

I honestly think it would just lead to more extreme isolation. Or him continuing to haunt Kanto/Johto and becoming this legend/myth that has a horror twist to it. "The Lost Champion" or whatever. And I don't think Red would stay...I don't think he'd stay down there, even if Gold/Green/Leaf saw him. And depending how many years it's been, Green may not even be in Kanto anymore.

It's a neat idea! I don't think I'd tackle it, though. i'm more of a sap for Red learning the importance of connection and friendship, even if it's just two or three people. The understanding that there's someone out there that will "get" you and want to be your friend. 😌💖

But thanks for the ask! It's fun to think about these things and all the different things that can be done with these characters since canon is so loose.

[ladytauria]

Oh love the bfu au. The banter!!! The “what was that?” - “nothing, you didn’t see anything” glaring the supernatural threats away. Take me out. Like on a date? Or with a sniper gun. Surprise me

riiiight?! lmfao

just for this (& bc i love sharing) have some of what i've written for the AU~

“No,” Jason says flatly. “Absolutely not.”

“C’mon,” Tim wheedles. There’s a stubborn set to his jaw, his shoulders. He’s not the kind of person to let go of an idea, once it lodges in his brain. Jason admires it; the sheer force of will packed into all five feet and eight inches of him. He also hates it, especially when it leads to scenarios like this, the two of them on opposite sides, and unwilling to back down.

Because Jason is stubborn too. “No, Tim,” Jason says firmly, digging his metaphorical heels in. “I can think of oh, about a dozen better ways for us to spend our time.”

Tim frowns at him. Jason hates how adorable he finds it; hates the irrepressible urge he feels to smooth it away, perhaps with his own mouth. Tim jabs a finger at Jason’s chest, though the diner table between them keeps him from making contact. “You’re just afraid we’ll find proof, and you’ll have to eat your words.”

Jason scoffs. “Hardly.” He bats Tim’s hand away.

Tim isn’t actually far off the mark. He wants to go ghost hunting—no, more than that, he wants to start a ghost hunting show, exploring Gotham’s more haunted areas, and Jason… well. Jason is worried that they’ll find something. Not because he’ll have to eat his words, though, but because it could be dangerous.

If they stick to the locations that most people considered “active”, they’ll be fine. Those places aren’t haunted, not really. Maybe they had been once, but now it’s all residual energy, brought to life by overactive imaginations and nerves.

But Jason knows Tim—has gotten to know him quite well, over the past couple of years—and he knows that, while he may start with the popular locales, he won’t be satisfied with them forever. That’s charted territory. Tim prefers the unknown; the unexplained. So he’ll go digging, and probably find reports of places that are actually haunted.

And considering that this is Tim, who can find trouble just by walking down the street… well. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Not that Jason can say any of that. As far as Tim knows, Jason doesn’t believe in any of that bullshit. (Honestly, most of the stuff Tim talks about is bullshit, so it isn’t even that hard to pretend.) Jason wants to keep it that way.

Is it cruel, to lie to his best friend the way he’s doing?

Yeah, probably.

But it’s keeping Tim safe, so Jason never lets himself feel bad about it.

“I’m actually worried about you, I dunno, tripping over a raised floorboard and ending up with tetanus, or something,” Jason says. Which, to be fair, also a real fear, if less pressing.

Tim scowls at him and kicks Jason’s knee under the table. “I’m not that bad,” he protests. “And, anyway, even if I was, that’s what you’d be there for. To keep me from getting tetanus.” Tim smiles winningly, and Jason knows he’s lost.

He swipes a hand down his face, letting it linger over his mouth until the urge to smile back dies under resignation. “If I tell you no for real,” he says, “you’re just gonna ask someone else, aren’t you?” Someone with no experience, no training, no abilities. Someone who couldn’t keep themself safe, let alone Tim.

Tim shrugs apologetically, suppressed triumph creeping into his mouth. “Probably.”

Jason sighs. Dammit. “Well,” he says, leaning back in his shitty booth seat, faux leather creaking beneath him. “I always did like Old Gotham. S’gotta kinda charm to her, you know?”

Tim beams. Jason’s heart skips a beat. “This is going to be great!” Tim pumps a fist in the air, heedless of the way several heads swivel their way. It’s Gotham, though, so they turn back to their own tables quickly enough. “I already have a ton of ideas for places we can visit.” He reaches into his backpack—the beat-up, ratty one he keeps his camera equipment in, not his fancy school bag—and pulls out an iPad. He brings a document on screen. “I was thinking that, in order to build up viewership, we’d start with some of the more well-known places, you know? The ones everyone’s heard of, even if they don’t live here. Then we can move into some local gems, hidden places people don’t usually investigate.”

Jason hums, feeling stirrings of fondness despite himself. He takes the tablet, scrolling through the options while Tim goes back to his milkshake, only half gone.

Park Row Theater—formerly haunted, cleared by a baby Bruce. It was the catalyst for Alfred getting more serious in training him, and impressing upon him the dangers of dealing with ghosts. Even—or maybe especially—ones that might be familiar.

The Clocktower—not haunted, per se, but definitely a place with strong paranormal energies. Babs goes there to tap into them for her visions, sometimes; when she wants a clearer idea of the future. Probably safe enough, but Jason will still set up some wards before they go.

Wayne Manor—

Wait.

“Tim,” Jason says patiently. “Why is my house on here?”

Tim looks sheepish. “There have been rumors that Wayne Manor is haunted basically since the founding of Gotham,” he says.

Jason is hardly surprised. Wayne Manor was deliberately built on a nexus of powerful energy in order to study the paranormal. It isn’t haunted, exactly, but it’s close enough. “We’re not ghost hunting in my house.” He pauses. “Besides, I already know something freaky lives there. His name is Damian.” He pauses. “And sometimes Dick. No human should be able to bend like that.” He shudders theatrically.

Tim sputters, milkshake dribbling down his chin as he laughs. “Dick’s not that bad,” he says, once he cleans himself up.

“See, you say that, but you’ve never had to live with him. I assure you he is that bad.”

[moe-broey]

My "Not a full thought" post about Emblems now being able to exist in Askr and the potential of timeline fuckery is coming back to haunt me.

@iamdarkness BUT I really did wanna reply to this more in-depth esp to have context on the Engage side of things as well! And tbh it could be a really interesting thing to dig into, I just feel a bit out of my depth about it (the FEH autism does not extend far past Askr. If I'm entirely honest 🧍)

Hoping to clear the air on some things! Such as, Elyios (Engage) is separate from Askr/Zenith (FEH)! All the Emblems have their own "domains", in the form of a paralogue/map that's modeled after the respective Emblem's world. For story Emblems, you unlock these as you collect the rings, and for the DLC Emblems, that's how you recruit them. Unsure what this says about Elyios itself, if these maps are like. Pocket dimensions that are replicas of that Emblem's world or what. Given what I vaguely know about Emblem lore I'm gonna say replicas.

This is Askr's!

Which, is interesting that it Is Askr, because it's Emblem Veronica's domain.

But honestly I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself, because even before the DLC came out, I was under the impression that Engage took place after all FEs were said and done, timeline wise. Given the nature of the Emblems, and the set up of the story starting off "1000 years ago" (and that was just to set up the story of Engage! So it has been A While).

One thing (that feels very loose canon-wise) that made me feel Engage is after FEH is because, not only are there Bond Rings of the Askr trio, but their weapons are here too! This was a promotional thing, but. It's There

Something worth noting, is that Bond Rings are different than Emblems. They don't have a spirit in them, that's as animated as the Emblems anyway... they give small stat bonuses, and are of characters that are related to any given Emblem (so, Corrin has a collection of Fates characters for Bond Rings, ect). This Does have an interesting result where there's an overlap between some DLC Emblems and Bond Rings. Cases being, there's Emblem Camilla and a Camilla Bond Ring that's connected to Emblem Corrin -- and, this happened to Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude too! Each of them having Bond Rings connected to Byleth, and also becoming their own Emblems in the Get Along Bracelet LMFAO (all three of them are in there. It goes about as well as you'd expect.)

But I am. Getting a little distracted.

EMBLEM VERONICA

One line that stands out to me is Alear (named Milo here) saying he hasn't heard of Askr before. But like if I think about that too much my head might explode and also Alear was previously comatose for 1000 slutty slutty years. So. Take it or leave it, whatever this is implying

Also, interestingly, she takes the form of her post Book 6 look -- but there's some odd inconsistencies, like her personality being more young Veronica, and also, mentions of Bruno as if he was still missing in action and not. Well. You know. (I'd have to dig further into Bond convos for examples, which tbh may be a worthwhile endeavor! But for now Take My Word For It Please this is already so all over the place 🥲)

But the main reason I wanted to emphasize that dialogue (aside from it being interesting, to say the least), is how Alear doesn't know about Askr as a whole. And, in Alear/Alfonse Forging Bonds:

WHICH.... AGAIN.......... MADE ME FEEL LIKE. With everything going on in Engage, the Bond Rings of Alfonse/Sharena/Anna, their Respective Signature Weapons (feels particularly damning) and Emblem Veronica. It felt like, what happens in Elyios is something that has Yet to Happen. And that, Askr as we know it, has been long gone.

But then...... everything with the Katarina/Kris FBs............ how Kris was only able to be summonable because Katarina and Marth told their story............. and how it's just the Emblems that are specifically mentioned as Not Having Info on, not Alear herself or her friends. My head hurds so bad.

LIKE...... I GUESS???? My initial thoughts on "Oh yeah that makes sense the Emblems don't exist in Askr" was that they Didn't Exist Yet. Aughh but then ...... in-universe, wouldn't the same be true for. Anyone from "the future". Or does it just apply to ghostly jewelry apparitions. Because we KNOW that option isn't true, it's shown/stated that Kiran comes from a modern world like ours, and there's also the Tokyo Mirage Sessions idols. Maybe the Emblem thing WAS just a Kris case, but that feels SO ODD. Like the Emblems are intrinsic to Elyios it seems. Why wouldn't the Askr library, chock full of information about the various worlds and lives of Heroes, Not Have That Info??? Especially with royalty like Lumera (Alear's mom) having close ties with specific Emblems (Sigurd). And also off the top my head that's a REOCCURRING thing, that the royal families in Engage Are entrusted with specific Emblems that are passed down/protected across generations. Celica with Céline/Firene, Lyn with Alcryst/Brodia, to name a few. It just seems SO strange, because it Feels Like it would be basic information about the world of Elyios.

CONCLUSION?????

My head hurds so bad. Net zero information. I'm so sorry. I hope this helped!!!!!!!!! 😇🫡

WAIT, WAIT, Sharky - disregard that last one!! Ahhh!!!

1, 8, 12, 15, 18, 28, 33, and 38! :D

no worries!! i know i forgot to tell you i changed my name 😅 ty for asking these, my friend 💖

this got really long, so i'm putting it under the cut!

fun questions

1. what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

hmmm this one's hard! i'm going to cave & say my family...my dad, especially personality-wise, & my grandmother really influenced my taste, mainly in the arts. my mom influenced me musically. all three encouraged me in my endeavors for the most part, despite some hiccups. my close-knit family has kept me a stable person in some respects.

8. any reacquiring dreams?

i take this to mean recurring? i used to have recurring night terrors, one in particular where i was at this run-down, grungy amusement park that was more like a large, abandoned fair, & i was stuck with people who didn't like me & would bully me until i was silent.

i dreamt of this place very often, & different nights' dreams would show different parts of the same place, with the same people, different rides, & sometimes the same dream of the same ride. i think i had this log-ride dream where the drop-off was in the dark about 6 times. we never made it out the other end. it would stay dark & people would be screaming in terror until i woke up

i also used to dream of drowning A LOT

12. what’s some good advice you want to share?

probably past-due advice for us, but helpful nonetheless: i was 20 & discussing what i wanted to do for my 21st birthday & my mom told me to "drink at home, it's cheaper"

15. what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

oh, actually, a few different places & the memories attached to them...the place i'm in now, my childhood home, & my aunt's house where we all used to gather for christmas before everybody died. i'll send you some pics later if you'd like :D

18. do you believe in ghosts &/or aliens?

i don't believe in ghosts, actually. i know i've been haunted, but i refuse to be affected lmao. ever since i saw this person's video where they stated a lot more colonists would meet their demise if ghosts had a claim on the physical plain, i have put some thought into it & come to the conclusion that ghosts aren't worth my time, really 😅

aliens would be awesome, however, & i look forward to their meaningful discovery!!

28. do you collect anything?

um i have shitloads of art supplies, paper, & finished works i haven't gotten my ass up to sell yet? if that counts 😂

33. any hobbies?

painting!! drawing, sketching! i also love singing, & i'm in a somewhat substantial chorus :D i would say it here, but honestly, i'm unconfident about my visage... *looks away shyly*

38. fave song at the moment?

you probably already know this guy butttt this song has really been stuck in my head lately lmfao & that's a wrap!!

[ofmermaidstories]

mermie, I need you to know.

I saw all those trigger warnings and was like. nope, not for me, can't do it.

BUT IT HAS BEEN TUGGING AT MY MIND SINCE I FIRST SAW IT ON THE DASH.

so i had to go back and read at least some of it. i made it to the read more and had to stop because i know my heart won't be able to handle it when the inevitable happens.

BUT.

the bit i read was so beautiful. so haunting and sad and sladkldakldak!! honestly, fucking loved it. i wish i was made of stronger stuff to be able to read the rest, but i know i will be sad for literally weeks over it if i do. xD

So, i have to settle for loving the bit i read and telling you it is amazing and you're a wonderful writer and it's so much fun seeing all the different stories you can tell. 💕

(now i am gonna go enjoy something fluffy because HOT DAMN, mermie)

oh tippy. 😭 you’re so sweet and all you do is uplift people in our community—which is why i want you to know i mean this very seriously when i tell you to delete that silly drabble from your blog and never think of it again LMAO. because!!!!! your comfort is no. 1 tippy. 🥺 and i dunno about you but when something actually seriously runs the risk of upsetting me then i don’t like it even anywhere near my blog!!!!!!!!! bad vibes are like an infectious disease. 💀😭 you need to burn some incense and let the negative nellies of that drabble waft out the window LOL. shoo!!!!!!!!!

saying all that, thank-you for your kind words. 🥹 lmfao, tippy, you’re so funny—i wish you wouldn’t test your boundaries like this though though. 😭😭 i mean it!!! 🥺 you deserve only happy endings, that come after sweet stories, where everyone is okay and content (and sexy 😌). 🌷🌈✨

★ for marriage bets!

▵ from don't ever be a stranger (GOD that fic haunts me)

★ what was the scene you most wanted to write in marriage bets? what was the hardest scene to write?

i knew about the scene where leon tries to propose for real and it all goes wrong from the start. from the START. i KNEW there would be the "you win" exchange and i was SO READY for it. for a literal year i had to wait to write it down because i had to get there but i was like oh this is gonna be SO hurty. SOOOOO hurty. and i believe i was right :)

and the hardest was honestly the very next chapter lmfao! i always struggle with wallowing and being sad and how to make it like, believable that matthew isn't gonna talk about something without making the audience think he's overly stupid. i want enjoyably stupid. and i find writing sadness hard. so that was tricky!

▵ pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite line

oh this, now and always:

This isn’t the first time Jamie’s wanted Trevor. Not by a long shot. The truth is, Jamie's been half in love with Trevor since he was 18 and stupid with it. It’s been so long that the love has become a permanent part of him, carved into his body alongside the scars on his left shoulder.

share the premise (as much or as little as you'd like) of the wip that's been haunting you the most recently

Honestly, I'm haunted by MANYYYY wips. But currently my sashnetra reunion au, this is sort of a childhood acquaintances/friends to lovers??

Sasha and Anetra grew up in Hawaii [decided on Hawaii with my worstie, @dawningofdrag , since Sasha is from there and Neech has ties there too on his dads side] and it's not that they were super close or best friends growing up, but they did attend the same schools together. By high school when Sasha was figuring herself out and expressing herself more, Anetra was one of the people who'd step in whenever he'd see that the other students were being douchebags to her (and he's one of the first people to see her as the girl she's always been tbh)

They had this sort of.. kinda-unspoken friendship of sorts? Anetra's always been the quiet guy, focused on his studies and taekwondo (& soccer) and Sasha had her own group of friends. After graduating high school they end up spending that summer before college together and sharing their first kiss 😌 but they share it on the last night Sasha is there before she's off to Florida 🥴 Anyways, they lose contact throughout time but reunite at their high school 10 yr reunion. Sasha kept going back and forth on whether or not she wanted to attend but ultimately decides to go in hopes of seeing him there and that's where the fic is supposed to start!!

2. this is from bakernali au, another wip that haunts me constantly and I could go on about that one because im just so passionate about it

Rosé, being the little shit she was, wiggles dust-coated tattooed fingers in her sister's direction before pointing directly at her with a fixed glare, “Behave, Janine.” 

3. these are all gonna come from bakernali au because it's the one with the most writing done lmfao

“She’s got the softest hands I’ve ever had the privilege of touching and always smells good, sweet, just like her personality.”

“What’s your name, goldilocks?”

“You would’ve done all of that rather than calling me on my phone?” Brown eyes playfully narrow in Rosé’s direction with a tilt of her head to the side.

Sure, she could’ve figured it out with some online tutorials but then that’d result in a bunch of trial and error leading to wasting the time she didn’t have and a whole lot of money too.

“She is. Great smile, pretty doe eyes, cares about people. A lot. I’ve had my eye on her for a while.” The more Rosé goes on about mystery girl, the closer she gets to the counter and Denali swears her heart just might fall to the pit of her stomach.

nothing for bed, tea and water !!

[kithtaehyung]

my biggest want is you to write a yoonminjoon x reader fic but as someone who has written two of them i understand how impossibly hard that can be. Namgi x Reader has me just as excited !! i’ll read whatever you put out honestly. i hope you choose what makes you the most excited and motivated !!! 💜💜

YOONMINJOON????? DO YOU WANT ME GONE?? Oh my god this would be.. I..😵‍💫 oh my. How did you even survive let alone make TWO💀

thank you so much! those two have been haunting me and won’t stop, so. i am doing something about it lmfao

Thoughts on the 12th ep of Hypmic Rhyme Anima+. Spoilers beware

Season 1 | Ep.1 | Ep.2 | Ep.3 | Ep.4 | Ep. 5 | Ep. 6 | Ep. 7 | Ep. 8 | Ep. 9 | Ep. 10 | Ep. 11

I love these two they're so stupid and cute ofc they're fighting about what place they're gonna open akira's ideals vs satoru's flashyness. i like how satoru is the one who dreams big between them while akira is more down to earth and focuses on the things that can make others happy too

ah so this is how they originally got arrested huh? metaphorically and literally stepping on their dreams damn

thats a tone shift damn i hate that this anime made me care for two gay dead people (so much that i accidently wrote a fic for them whoops)

genuinely i wonder what the IVs are for, it has to be important enough for kaibyakumon to hide them in his projections

like theres four of them. what do you need so many iv bags for mdude?

i still think the who will answer my questions is on par with roxas being a looser

like damn chiaro is very gay living on within his totally platonic bro friend who is modeled after the guy his original died with

good for him honestly, radical change very rarely comes from peaceful actions

damn another leader unit song? suckssss was looking forward to a nigumi

ah no fake out

oh heay hifumi got his jacket back and is straight to complementing his bestie

I like how MTC is taking a more leadership role in this since it is more military focused and they are quite literally the military unit

that would have been more poignant if we Saw how much shinjuku meant to him

Amanda squeakkkkkkkk shes best character ever

soccer idiot what a meathead

also i love the fact that jyushi thinks that the ball is jiro's friend

oh look at that thinking, Scuro does have have some brains in there

OH THEM!!!! ITS BEEN A WHILE I MISS SECRET ALIENSSSSSSS Iris being slay as always never flinching from samatoki shes such a badass

oh i do not miss rex www iris is as sassy as ever and i love her

i like how the villains are playing these smart, its good. just as i type that kaibyakumon does something idiotic by hiding in the most obvious place

oh wait there was that shadow in like ep2 or smth. that was him. that was kaibyakumon. H U H

ww i thought only gentaro got in

LETS GO OOOOO SCURO BBY YOU ARE DOING SO WELL OH YOU

suprised that they all survived gett in blown up by a bomb without any injuries wow

HAHAHAHA JYUSHI oh you lovable boy

haha kick like soccer ball

damn sheer dumb luck saved them huh unfortunate but at least best boy was the one to show the way

oh gods this is the chuuni group and i love it i love how gentaro is just playing along

with the power of music and gayness he will prevail!

damn hes doing it by himself no holograms needed! oh im proud of himmm what a strong boy!

i like his rap tbh its very much about unity and experience, everything he as both chiaro, scuro, akira, and satoru together make up who the person is, they will have their just revenge, they have learned from their mistakes and they will fight for what is theirs. its really good

also he refrences spawn camping www their combined version does seem like the toxic type of guy who would

awww the heroes too have the power of gay and music by their side

i find it hilarious how jyushi enunciates his team name www its true tho none of them have an ass to speak of

honestly? this one is better than the 3gumi one

oh he holds the mic to his heart …

damn ripp the artificial gays they were good. i liked them :((( wish they stayed alive D:

oh those eyebagsss they're heavyyy hes haunted by les horreurs!

oh he loves them, he loves his boyssssss hypmi really be burying their gays and letting their father mourn

lmfao did aliens really just knock out the chuuoku girls driving the plane and fuck off to bukuro love that iris is the one driving tho, love that for her

hah, not a bad episode, i didn't hate it but it wasn't great either. I enjoyed the gay things and the Secret Aliens cameo but overall just no much really popped out to me unlike ep 10

also i just noticed that sasara's suit the pattern is just overlayed on top of the suit not drawn on. cute

[andypantsx3]

miss andypantsx3 i feel like such a weenie!! i used to write fic for bts but it's been a loooong time since i've shared my writing online and i wanna get back into sharing again for these silly little 2d guys but the anxiety... it haunts me... do you have any advice for *waves hands*

Hello my angel!!! Omg are Jungkook's little hip thrusts in 3D not enough motivation?? 👀

(Lmfao I'm just playing.)

I do recognize how nerve-wracking it can be after a bit away. When I've taken hiatuses before, I've been concerned that I'm like, out of practice or have lost my touch and have wondered if people won't really connect with my stuff anymore!! So I get why you might be nervous!!

But I can only tell you that my experience posting after a little bit away has only been a positive one. People are soooo kind about welcoming you back, and it honestly feels really reassuring once you've done it—it's like proof to yourself that you can always step right back into things and hit your stride once more, so the next time it happens you won't be as fussed!!

You should also know that someone has probably been missing your writing, even if it's just one person. And they are going to be so beyond thrilled to see you back. People are also just generally happy to read fic about the characters/people they love, and they will absolutely not be looking for whatever aspects of your writing you feel nervous about sharing again.

I think in general we are our own worst critics, and our own worst enemies—and so whatever it is that you're worried about isn't something you're likely to have to overcome. It's just your own nerves!!

I'm not sure if this is reassuring or not lol, but I hope it is!!!! At the very least, I will be cheering you on!!!! Take your time, but know that it is going to be worth it in the end. ❤️❤️❤️

[noctilionoidea]

Finally came up with a Semele design. Also remembered how much I hate doing fabric in large coloured pencil works lmfao. More work on front facing though! Don’t ask about the pose I don’t know. Also I had a hard time choosing between the more typical chiton or the more accurate Mycenaean wear but I didn’t have the opportunity to pull up a reference and I went with… the garment I spent a year studying to recreate irl and then draw. Yeah look I didn’t research the construction of fibulae and the cultural contexts of different styles and dyes to NOT use that in my art. Albeit often intentionally inaccurately (know the rules before you brake them in period garments!)

Dionysos has a lot of parents in myths (both biological and adoptive) but I have to say- Semele is my favourite choice of bio mom. I mean it’s supposed to be complicated and varied Dionysos is a god of reincarnation alongside the chaos and intoxication (honestly they all tie more than some like to present). Idk just knowing that he went to the underworld to get her back and deify her is so emotional. Also when I read the Bacchae I was surprised just how much of the wrath against Thebes was because of the disrespect to Semele. he loves her very much!

To completely derail- The weirdest parentage is the ammon and almatheia version - I get it’s probably Egyptian syncretism on Diodorus’ part and he finds a lot of weird versions of myths but it’s still just extra weird. This has been haunting me for months
