Glazed and Confused

Pairing: Lando Norris x Potter!Youtuber!reader

Summary: when lando fails to make a simple mug, fans direct him towards your YouTube channel

a/n: I took 1 hr long class on pottery and quit. Don’t like the feel of it, have mostly forgot literally everything about it so…🤷🏻‍♀️

a/n 2: I really struggled to get lando’s voice down and don’t really think I did. Oops 😬 will work on that for next time (also plz ignore that changing of the handles. I try to keep them accurate but again I’m not on those social media platforms so…)

a/n 3: I tried to make sure that this reader was never gendered or given a race — there’s one photo near the end that depicts 2 white smaller hands but I think that is the only time. Please let me know how I did, if you could

landonorris: kiln unveiling and some upcoming projects!

listen. when I randomly decided that I wanted to learn how to make ceramic dishes, it was mostly because I wanted to make something with my own 2 hands — and when I wasn’t immediately good at it, I decided that I wouldn’t stop until I was.

Its been a long couple of months with a lot of struggles but I can finally say that I’m proud of how far I’ve come. It hasn’t been easy but the journey and the process has been fun and i genuinely can’t wait to see what comes next!

Figure out if you like and want to shill for rich people or not. They don't care if we die on the streets, if we starve, if we stuffer. They have no guilt for abusing, using, and exploiting us for their gains. You think the original union organizers and protestors "felt bad" for boiling people alive in tar. Do you think they "felt bad" about displacing oligarchical classes. Stop moralizing and get your shit straight. A bunch of dipshit capitalists may well be dead. A win is a win. And no I dont care how scary it is, because all they've done is make this world more hostile and terrifying for everyone else, for their benefit; they, as a social class, are a predator species that most leftists with two brain cells would recognize thebloss of as a net gain. My only empathy goes to any potential crew who arent venture capitalists and thus not actively making the world worse.

My dude, 4 guys able to pay 200 grand, one of their 19 year old children, and a pilot they hired dying a pointless death due to lack of regulatory capacity to stop it from happening isn't a win in the class war, and I'd appreciate if you stop acting like it was.

You say "My only empathy goes to any potential crew [...]" but like. There was crew. There was also a teenager. You clearly aren't actually aware of the actual people on board other than this vague idea that, somehow, a shitty submersible with 6 random vaguely successful motherfuckers on it being lost at sea is this massive victory against the rich. Is it? Is anything actually happening if these people die? Is anything actually coming out of it?

And like, again, I'm not exactly gung-ho about defending people who spent more for one ticket onto the deathtrap than I'll see in my next 20 years minimum, don't get it twisted. But your whole mindset is the issue I'm having with this situation, because it's just so blatantly clear that you don't actually have any empathy to the victims of this, because even the people you'd apparently feel sad about only exist in a hypothetical to you: You feel empathetic for the potential crew that were predated upon (just like everyone else onboard was, btw). You don't feel empathy for the literal pilot, because you've apparently decided to make this about Eating The Rich and not about "Oh my God, there is no fucking way this should have been able to happen to begin with, we need to do whatever it takes to make sure it can't happen to anyone ever again."

By the way, you mention the battle for Blair Mountain obliquely--do you not find it ironic that you're deciding to try and pick a fight with someone saying "The issue here is that capitalism's encouragement of no regulations allowed a business to send a deep sea submersible piloted by a logitech playstation controller down to the titanic for clout, potentially costing 6 human beings their lives"? And do you actually find "a horrific tragedy that could have been avoided if better labor laws and regulations were able to keep pace with tech startup insanity" equivalent to "laborers waging a literal war against people trying to shoot them for demanding their rights to safety as workers"?

thanks for the likes on my first bit of writing, been quite enjoyable getting back into an old hobby. feel free to send requests or ideas i can write about, any inspo is good and welcome. anyway here's some more of that stupid dork incelbur because i could fix him.

part 1 here, would recommend reading first

warnings: mentions of nude pictures, stalking, porn, masturbation. minors dni please

word count: 1143

dont like, dni. please just block me and move on.

────୨ৎ────

INCELBUR who after discovering your existence has a reason to show up to class on time. he even brushed his teeth for you. he takes the seat behind you in class so he can be close but not enough to get noticed. he's usually a fine student, quiet and gets his work done but now all he can focus on his how the breeze from the open window makes your perfume blow back in his face.

INCELBUR who keeps the a tab of your instagram open on his computer while he games, checking periodically checking to see if you've posted something. anytime you're out with friends he get jealous, why do you go to so many bars? are you looking for attention from some chad? they don't understand you like he does.

INCELBUR who is filled with rage when he see's you hanging out with men. they are always so muscular and handsome, what is wrong with you? those guys are so shallow and probably just wanna fuck you. which sure, so does he. but he's a nice guy so he deserves it more.

INCELBUR who creates alt accounts so he can spam your dms with lewd messages and vague threats about what he wants to do to your body. he even sends pictures of his cock and jerking off, never showing his face but he hopes you might see them and find him attractive. even just the thought of your shocked reaction when you open the photos turns him on, positive or negative attention is better than being ignored.

INCELBUR who finds pornstars that look like you so he can pretend he's watching videos of you. the darker, the better. he imagines touching you himself, how you'd sweat and squirm. sometimes he moans your name, closing his eyes and making a mess of himself over thoughts of a girl who he's spoken a dozen words to.

INCELBUR who trails you around campus, finding out where you hang out and what you do in your free time. he keeps his distance but its not that bad, you look great from behind. During your lunchbreak he waits until you've finished eating and picks up your used disposable coffee cup. a trophy to remember you by. it's not that weird, you were gonna throw it away- he justifies it in his head.

INCELBUR who licked the rim of the cup while he wanks, tasting your lipgloss. he imagines your lips around his cock instead of his hand, which is becoming less and less effective at getting him off. after he's spilled over his stomach he's filled with a sense of shame and disgust at himself, throwing the cup into the bin on the other side of his room. he wants to ask you out so he feels like less of a creep but pretty girls don't like guys like him, he's lanky and covered in acne scars. he'd never have a chance, you'd laugh at him.

INCELBUR who takes the paper cup out of the bin within 10 minutes because he has no self control. and he keeps it on his beside table for days until starts to crumble due to how often he grips the flimsy material. he needs something real, he needs to talk or touch you again.

INCELBUR who gets to class early so he can talk to you. he takes the seat next to your this time, trying to be subtle with his stares but it's a miserable effort. you're wearing a lowcut shirt, you did that on purpose to tease him- didn't you? you fucking slut, you want him don't you?

INCELBUR who 'accidently' drops his pens onto the floor so they scatter across the floor under your desk. he gets on his knees so he can pick them up, hoping desperately you'll help him. his heartbeat quickens and he can hear the blood rushing in his ears when you do, offering him a small smile. a smile, just for him.

"sorry, i'm really clumsy."

"oh don't worry about it, so am i."

"....thanks for... helping me.."

"of course, why wouldn't i?"

because i'm ugly, annoying, unpopular, disgusting, a perverted creep who thinks about you every day and follows you around campus.

"i uh.. i don't know. you're uhm.. really.. cool.. and i'm... not?"

INCELBUR who can't believe you guys are talking, chatting like friends. he feels like he's on cloud nine, he can't remember the last time he was this invested in a conversation with anyone. he can barely hold eye contact because watching your lips move is much impossible to ignore. you're laughing at his jokes and asking him questions, it's like you care. you want to get to know him.

INCELBUR who could faint when you remember him from the party, asking him questions about his build in skyrim. he's surprised by how much you know about video games, girl's don't play video games in his experience. they just laugh at guys who do, they'd rather do make up and take selfies. but you are different, and perfect for him.

INCELBUR who grabs your arm after class to stop you walking way, asking for your discord so you guys can game together sometime. his breath catches in his throat when you take his phone out of his hand to add yourself in the app. he knows he has your photos on there, screenshots of your instagram stories and ramblings in his notes app about his desires. it fills him with fear knowing you could see them, but the thought of getting caught sends a rush of arousal between his thighs.

INCELBUR who's finger's burn when you hand him the phone back, the brief contact makes him light headed and he barely hears your goodbye before you're walking away. he looks down at his phone to read your username in his friends list over and over again. it's like he has you in the palm of his hand, and he loves it.

INCELBUR who desperately wants you call you when he masturbates that night, wanting you to hear his moans and how he whimpers you name. he knows it's pathetic and perverted but maybe it would turn you on? he can imagine you playing with yourself on the other end of the call as it happens, the faces you'd make and how you'd beg for him. he grips his cock and strokes himself furiously, biting his bottom lip until it hurts, gripping the sheets with his free hand. he throws his head back when he finishes, arching off the sweat stained mattress and practically sobbing your name.

INCELBUR who is determined to make you his no matter how much he has to cheat, lie and scheme to get you to like him. because you wouldn't like him, not really, only a fake persona of the man you'd wanna see. and he'd do anything to be close to you, even shower and wash his hair.

fuck it more of my piss and fuck ideas/opinions/headcanons

theyre in their early to mid 20's and probably met at some kind of house party that got broken up by the cops, they scattered in the same direction and hid in an alleyway together and theyve been buds ever since

they painted their jackets together that they got at a secondhand thrift place, didnt know you had to set fabric paint and piss' jacket got all smudged around the "faggot" bit. he didnt bother to fix it he just kept it when he set it.

piss dyes his hair hes not a natural blonde hes a brunette actually. he wanted to do something cool and rebellious and dye his hair, but he didnt want to pick a crazy color like blue or pink or something bc that could make him a target so he went with something natural looking

fuck also has his hair dyed hes got two red streaks down the front like in his portrait im choosing to regard that as canon.

piss lives in a squat house, fuck lives in his middle class home with his dad. fucks parents are divorced, piss's parents kicked him out (because gay. he's actually bi but doesnt quite get it yet)

piss has his left ear pierced, he would have gotten both done but he did it ice cube needle style and it hurt too much the first time for him to get the other one done so now its just one. fuck has his nipples pierced he got that done with his birthday money one year.

they're both bi but in diff ways. gestures vaguely. sexualities are still up in the air . they do make out and jerk off together sometimes but theyre just messing around its just what guy friends do sometimes

they also listen to speedfreaks i think : )

fuck used to be more of a romantic but after getting turned down by girls so many times thats kind of how he adopted his fuck the world mentality bc he thinks theres no such thing as soulmates (he still secretly really does want a partner but no hes HARD live a brick hes DEEP like a grave hes not a pussy he doesnt give a shit about romance)

fuck also absorbed more of his dad lawyer-speak than he thinks. talking about him and piss going getting into the SKULLS as "two franchises merging?" I rest my case

theyre both unemployed but im pretty sure thats just canon. them being into modern dance music is also canon!

theyre both very empathetic (despite their attempts to appear otherwise) but piss is the bigger softie between them-- after all, hes the first to surrender his jacket if harry convinces him to by being a sad sack

piss "smokes" cigarettes (doesnt even inhale)

most of their plots to get the SKULLS to notice them are petty misdemeanors that they get away with because the clerk at the place theyre shoplifting from doesnt give a shit. they dont do anything more drastic than minor vandalism

i want them to meet the studcoms and the ravers and the smoker and and and and and and!!!!!

:3 Any class (and subclass) headcanons/ideas/theories for Lark? Vaguely related, I can't stop thinking about the fact the he just whistled up a fucking portal last episode?????

i have always assumed lark was a ranger, which is one reason why i was so flabbergasted by grant being the kiddads' ranger. i still think he should be a ranger, a horizon walker ranger specifically, even if it would be dumb and unbalanced for them to have two rangers. literally it makes the most sense. lark is the most ranger guy ever. however, i already made a full post about ranger subclasses for grant, including the reasoning for horizon walker that also applies to lark (namely what you said - WHISTLING TO SUMMON A PORTAL? HORIZON WALKER TYPE SHIT.) SO i will delve into some different ideas instead

if he's not a ranger, then i would guess that he is a fighter, battle master subclass, or a rogue, assassin subclass, with likelihood (in my opinion!) being in that order. thats the tldr. heres the long version LOL:

fighter - fighters are known for being able to wield a wide array of weapons, which makes sense for lark, since he is such a doomsday prepper. he would want to be able to use any weapon he got his hands on. also, indomitable fits lark really well in my opinion. if we wanna talk gear, i'd probably give him chainmail (flavored as bullet-proof vest), two martial weapons (two daggers), a light crossbow and 20 bolts (flavored as a pistol and ammo), and the pack i'm not sure on. i dont think im gonna do gear on every single class but its just part of being a fighter to me to consider that-- subclass wise, we have a few options, listed in order of most to least likely (subjective.)

battle master - the most likely one to me, though now that sparrow seems to be set up as more of the leader than lark, that might change (though i do think that maybe sparrow just takes the head in talking since he's more. uh. sociable than everyone else rn LOL). given how much enemies monologue in dndads, 'know your enemy' would be a super useful skill, and i think if he was spec'd out similar to gerard from neverafter (mostly in the ability to grant other players extra attacks), this would make a lot of sense for him.

champion - listing this because on a meta-level, its extremely easy to play, which makes it an easy pick for anthony. however, i dont think it fits him character-wise because lark would never heal himself LMAO though, to be fair, i dont think the kiddads will ever level up that high

arcane archer - not the best subclass, but very cool to me, and fitting for how all of the kiddads are gun-heavy. banishing arrow would be super useful and fit the general theme of planes and dimensions.

eldritch knight - not as likely, but i think it would be sooo so cool for lark, especially if the eldritch part came from his connection to the doodler. ohhh the drama of gaining power from the eldritch being you swore to eradicate… plus, we get LARK CASTING MAGIC, even if its not as powerful as anything his family can do! so cool!!! this subclass isnt as good for range, but i could see anthony allowing war magic to apply to ranged weapons rather than just blades for the cool factor.

samurai - in general, this subclass is not lark. however, i wanted to mention it because i think their 18th level ability 'strength before death' specifically is very lark. basically, if you get knocked down to zero HP, you can use a reaction to get an entire turn and then you go into death saves. theoretically, you could use this to heal, but its lark - he absolutely would use it to go down swinging.

rogue - other people have made this point for me, but rogues are good for guns if you flavor hand crossbows as such. i actually dont really like rogue for lark, but i dont have a reason why LOL it just doesnt really? do it for me. however, i agree that its likely to fit due to what we know about lark, so i will play my own personal devil's advocate here. i think it makes sense for lark to be the sneaky attacker while the others draw most of the attention, especially since it seems like there would be three magic users (terry jr, nicky, and sparrow) in the group. magic can be used sneakily, but im sure nicky and sparrow at least would lean towards showiness, lol. plus, i think it would be really interesting to flavor 'slippery mind' as like, lark growing a resistance to the doodler after so many years under its influence! once again, subclasses are listed most likely to least likely.

assassin - this works from both an in-character and a meta standpoint, and from what i've seen, this is what people mean when they say lark should be a rogue. its an easy subclass to play, so its good for an NPC. character-wise, with lark's extreme paranoia, it makes sense that lark would spend time studying how to most efficiently kill people. he doesn't want to risk anyone in a drawn-out fight, he's not grant. he just wants things dead as fast as possible.

scout - am i just saying this one is likely being its the ranger-flavored rogue subclass? maybe. but like liSTEN LARK SHOULD BE A RANGER HE IS LITERALLY A RANGER HE IS-

phantom - not very likely, but SEVERELY COOL from a character standpoint. walk with me here. phantom is a rogue subclass where you talk to the dead, but imagine that reflavored as lark being able to talk to like, eldritch beings, even beyond the doodler? or like, maybe the spirits of those killed and used by the doodler? holy SHIT!! it would be COOL.

unfortunately none of this has an explanation on lark whistling a portal Which Is Why He Is A Horiz- [shot] im guessing he has a magical item tho!!!

[wulvert]

so ive heard that you have more triptrack lore???????? *stares at you intensely, full of platonic love for you and your work* would you like to tell us about it? :D

hello! thank you so much.... some more important lore is probably upcoming pretty soon so i wont spoil that ( if anyone even notices the lore anyway idk )

some stuff i probably wont go into much more than whats already in the comic is reds backstory, i think you can kinda pick up the vibe of whats going on with him, but i can go into it here + some stuff abt the world :) some people picked up on it fine, and some people still seem confused about it, but the uv levels output by the sun in triptrack are too high for human survival without protective measures. i dropped out of highschool and i never went to classes before that anyway, i have no idea how science works. the ozones fucked in some way. i usually call it murder sun. you can wear sunscreen but its a bit risky, and extremely expensive. only really rich people can afford it & you still need to protect your eyes & mouth. masks and gloves r more common. half masks are more of a fashion item but remove some risks associated with sunscreen.

red always wore a mask but someone he was working with (nefarious work) ripped it off to try kill him a while back, you can see a hand print on his face 125 i think, some people assumed its his own handprint but it came from that person holding him down. they were friends, so hes a bit distrustful of people now, understandably i think. It damaged his eyes a lot but he could afford to get them fixed a little bit, he only had the money to do that and nothing else, his skins still kind of actively injured, not healed bc hes never been able to afford healthcare. Red doesnt feel negative about how he looks at all, its the least of his concern- hes in excrutiating pain 24/7, he just wants his facial nerves dealt with & doesnt care about anything else- hes considered getting the handprint tattood to match the rest of his face, but he decided its better to save his money for other stuff. stealing tex will get him enough money for fairly permanent pain relief, after that i imagine he'll just get a new mask & put some less ugly clothes on and leave the whole stealing thing behind, he's very tired. triptrack wouldnt have happened if red had free healthcare.

just to like state outright, tex is a robot, some poeple believed him when he said "im not a robot", sorry i didnt even think abt people thinking he was telling the truth, my bad. shae ( if anyone remembers her its been 60 years ) isnt a robot, though. Terry is the younger brother, he shares a lot of code with tex but ms tarantula built his body, whereas she didn't tex's. tex is a lot stupider than terry because of creative differences at the time of tex's creation i guess. he can get smarter but he's been very sheltered his entire life. Terry doesnt really care about being a robot (he doesnt care about much) but tex appreciated red not knowing at least for a little bit. Shae will probably sue mt. co. if anyone. remembers. that. either. I think for my next comic im going to make whole chapters and upload them in chunks like that so people dont have to read it so slowly.

also not very important but glass city used to be an ocean!

you can see a little bit of water at the corners of this panel, and theres whale skeletons scattered around. also they tried to built a dome around it to keep the uv out but it was a disaster, shards of it also just hang out around the city from that.

also theres not very many people want windows, so all the more space for advertisement hell.

I definitely dont think i've gotten triptracks stuff across very well, but also i kind of like how vague it is. triptrack has a l o t of issues, and i want to go back to it when its done and make a like,.. triptrack dx or something lol. but its my first comic so like.... to be expected i guess.. ive learned a lot from it. paperteeth also has so many issues & i didnt really put much i learned from triptrack into it but thats because it was supposed to be a fun little side project! that i didnt have to think about too hard! then it exploded and ate triptrack for breakfast. rip. ( i am grateful though i just. didnt think that would happen, if i did, i would have tried harder lmao) so. yeah!

Welcome back to reaper talks bitches, i just finished my first playthrough of Shadows Over Loathing and have already started on my second and

Oh.

My.

Gods.

I fucking love this game. I mean its made by the people who made of my favorite games ever, West of Loathing so yeah im gonna enjoy it.

But this, this is new, this limits me in sooo many different ways but also opens up the game in ways i couldnt have imagined

[Alot of spoiler filled ramblings of a mad man slightly broken by a weird time/dimension loop that are only vaguely understandable under the cut]

Okay first off, not picking you class right at the very very start is great weirdly enough, atleast for me.

It gave me time to see the world through the basic unfiltered lens of someone who has an idea whats to come cuz of me playing the previous game but also no clue as the game hasnt given me any story yet.

Literally, it starts off with you having a copy of LOOK magazine on your face. You also get to really choose your look or well hair situation mainly, you're a stick person hair and accessories are all you got and its early game soooo

But anygays, it doesnt give you story till thr bus ride and even then you dont know your class or if there will even be classes!

I choose pigskinner or whatever my head is running at a million miles per hour rn cuz this hyperfixation is really new and free so double the speed of thoughts

And yeah i could have tried something new especially since 2 out of my 3 wol saves were that game's pigskinner class (cow puncher(?)) But come on, i like my familiar class also i suck as magic/effect heavy builds outside of my spamming of stuff like bleed or on fire

But anygays, the uncursing stuff is super fun tho pretty confusing. Thankfully you cant mess them up to my knowledge, they really test you puzzle skilss and you remembering that most things in this game are interactable (very very important)

Also omg i love any chance to piss a narrator and there are some great ones, the main ones that i can remember rn is the one about you working at all these different places and even being employee of the month despite you either being super young or not born at that time. And the one about you digging wet globs of hair out of sinks, mainly at frat houses. Gross i know, but i fucking dug through every single spittoon in wol, nothing can stop me anymore

The narrator def regrets following this dumbass (me) around but they cant leave so HA

But back to the uncursing, the sickle curse was actually super scary. Like that scarecrow was after ME, not the person i was currently in the body of, no he was after ME, my character also nick come on buddy you dont take loans/favors from The Shadows, thats like rule #265, your ass deserved a lawnmowing.

Also wtf i got sent the lawnmower i made with a note that said "see you in 66 years" or something like that. Like HELLO???? WHICH BITCH GOT MY ADDRESS AND WHO WANTS A PIECE OF ME AND MY LAWNMOWER

Seriously the sickle curse was hands down the scariest part of a game ive played in years and ive somewhat play resident evil 7

Also gods i love the to do list, don't get me wrong i loved asking my companions for reminders but this is super convenient and go for when my companion cant you know, accompany me somewhere

Plus being able see everything together and whats a main quest vs a side quest helps. And making my own notes in game helps since i still havent gotta a notebook for my gaming notes yet

Also the whole thing with the mob was great, 10/10 i love being chaotic and getting paid the big bucks for it. Seriously its worth it and theres even some more pacifist options in those quest lines to. Im very much a nice person to my core despite my nature darkness and chaos, so being able to handle things nicely or well with limited blood shed is nice. Also helps with you, like me, tend to avoid battles you dont gotta fight. Its also a nice puzzle sometimes cuz i cant just shove like 9 different thing down my throat and kick ass. Its one potion and one food at a time.

The combat is definitely different but more in a "its harder to be able to wipe everyone out in seconds" then a "heres a whole new system to learn good luck"

In wol its stupidly easy atleast for me to become a lesser god and wipe out half the map basically even during early game. Tho thats mainly cuz of my past experience and cuz i was raised really good and weirdly so my skills work with this-

But in sol the fights are actually pretty tough, i found myself really rationing my items out even in late game but also heavily relying on them and effects

Which btw go fucking on items and stuff that cause effects like bleed and on fire, trust me its actually kinda necessary

Also the last(?) fight (and the optional golem fight) are like stupidly hard even with all tbr help (finale(?)) While the golem is apparently a push over yet also god number two idk im working on it, apparently they didnt play test it and honestly it kinda shows (neutral)

ALSP WTF IS THAT BITCH AT THE FUNAL LIKE HOKY HELL DO NOT BE AFIARD MY ASS THAT A BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGEL WITHOUT WINGS RIGHT THERE AND ITS ABOUT TO SEND ME TO HELL PERSONALLY

Also i fucking lost, i can go back but i decided to learn from my mistakes by starting fresh instead of fixing them after they've already been made

AND im gonna help more people, im gonna save those two kids from that monster that haunts their family, im gonna help rufus find my past/other self from the first game, IM GONNA HELP EVERYONE I CAN ESPECIALLY THE ONES I FAILED BEFORE

Reaps now signing off to work on MEP parts see yall in like another 6 months

[tieria-erde]

tagged by nika @pianofish ty!!! :3

last song i listened to:

im being honest it was summer buzz by nika...! go listenn please their music is always so beautiful. i wanna do a cover of this song sometime soon... (probably not acapella this time bc i like the percussion too much) i have vague ideas for an mv that i am not sure i have the skill to execute but i wanna try anyway. i need to lay down some thumbnails but i see it in my brain it's similar in style to iyowa's imawanokiwa mv

alsoo this wasnt the question but im recommending this vocaduo song because its really pretty and i like it a lot

currently watching:

i watched spirited away for the first time this past week it was soo lovely...! a while back i went on a mall date with a friend and i bought a cute spirited away button down just because it was purple and i said to myself "well i haven't watched spirited away but if i watch it and like it that'll justify the purchase right?" and then forgot to watch it... but now i have, and i liked it, so i can wear that shirt without a heavy conscience 👍

currently reading:

not really "current" but i recently read the storytelling animal by jonathan gottschall for one of my classes next semester and i liked it! some parts i found irritating but it was still a fun read to pick apart. ive also been meaning to get back to reading the insomniacs after school manga... the anime was so so so wonderful but the only scanlation i've found for the manga doesn't look all that high quality ;w; i still wanna read it though

oh also JUST last week finished rereading heir's game by suspu, beautiful beautiful comic. andd last month i reread when the day comes by omyo which is my favorite webtoon of alllll time ever. sorry for being a webtoon guy i promise i do it with a distinct theme-understanding air 💜

current obsession:

i have been working for like a month on english translyrics for eimin no susume by narumiya. this isnt my first attempt at writing translyrics (i have tried so many times to write translyrics for itte by yorushika but i think that song's just impossible to translate well in general) but it is the first time ive gotten anywhere close to finishing them... im not as mindblowingly depressed as i was a few weeks ago so im not actually sure i'll still want to cover the song by the time i finish these lyrics but i wanna see it through to the end! and its a fun song to sing anyhow (speaking of covers ive been sitting on this 90% complete cover for a while that i just need to finish recording harmonies on..... maybe i'll go do that after i post this)

also my mom made egg tarts yesterday and they are so awesome and tasty. obsessed with those for sure as well

this isn't really an obsession but i also want to mention i started gnosia a week or so ago at the recommendation of a friend, i kind of got off on a rocky start with it because it wasn't what i was expecting (i am a diehard fan of hidden role games but the singleplayer gameplay just does not scratch that same itch for me) but once i got past that i really started liking it...! i haven't played in a few days but i wanna get back to it

tag 9 people:

umm i dont know that many people ^_^ do it if u wanna do it! no pressure @larnax @vivi-mire @neildylandy @thebeggarlover @ptolemaiios @sunnymatsu

i love the vibe that reader is just some rando they picked up. seungcheol picks them up like ok ur the protag now and readers like im the What.

PALADIN COUPS.... ur mind omg. paladin suits him sooo well holy shit + his reclasses!!! <3 i can imagine him being some stern leader of his army but having his soft side for ppl. literally imagine his support convos... just flustered paladin man who goes from this imposing figure to a whiny husband whos so in love w u... <3

omg. wonwoo's base classes all fit him so well tbh. i can def see archer the most if im honest since he fits the quiet stereotypical archer vibe but thief and priest wonwoo UGH <33333 im in love.

YOOO WYVERN RIDER JUN??? mage is also cool but god theres something So cool abt wyvern rider jun... he would take naps w his wyvern and be so doting toward them :( just a sweet man. he probably also has snacks for both him And his wyvern... i feel it in my soul....

omg. jeonghans classes... pegasus knight jeonghan is invading my thoughts rn. thief would also fit SO well but i am staring at pretty man on his pegasus looking radiant <3 same w joshua tbh. two pretty besties on their pegasi... ugh my heart <3 i cannot handle this

ooo troubadour or priest dk is not something i would have expected!!! i do love it tho <3 sunshiney dk who honestly heals u a lil just by smiling...

no one look at me over mercenary vernon... no one look at me rn. i cant. i cant. im not strong enough to process the idea of rugged mercenary vernon. vernon with a sword... clutches chest n collapses... god............ men w swords........ anyone w swords actually tbh if i see a woman with a sword im gonna lose my mind bc oh fuck thats hot

ENEMY MINGYU... finally i can beat his ass for being tall. i love his recruitment conditions being so varied just bc it feels like hes just looking for a reason to leave the opposing side. he just looks at mc like man i wanna be over there but i gotta be impressed first :/ or i gotta be flirted with. or i gotta see my best bro. (wonwoo voice you can be flirted with by mc if y ou join our side)

SAMURAI DINO.................. i am listening. dino w sword........ <3 i have no more thoughts im just kinda thinking abt hinata fates rn. honestly they're the same person bc they're both cute losers. nico ur MIND <3

KITSUNE HOSHI KITSUNE HOSHI KITSUNE HOSHI.................... I AM LOOKING !!!!! did i ever mention i did romance both kaden and keaton lmao theyre cute

spear fighter woozi omg... i imagine his supports would have something to do with singing no matter what his class is. just at least a lil. just a lil.

ENEMY MINGHAO AND SEUNGKWAN??? ok minghao i can understand because i think he'd be a cool enemy, esp if he's someone you have to earn the respect of. BUT SEUNGKWAN??? omg. sniper seungkwan too... he could murder. and he WILL....also god. i imagine it being a serious convo, but my brain just went "vernon just walks up to him and goes "hey dude, what the hell?" and then shoves him over." vernon voice wadda hell bulnosaur...

ok i admittedly dont know anything abt pretty much anyone here except vaguely soobin and beomgyu but :0 based off my limited knowledge abt beomgyu, his classes seem fitting sdkfhsdf i feel like i've seen stuff abt him like. being kinda trickster-y before but i might be wrong!!

i love how much thought u put into all of these!! its so cool to read though omg <3 thank u for sharing!!

[mayullla]

I dont play twisted wonderland, but I wanted to make something for this fandom from reading multiple yan!twst. I kept most things vague, but if I got something wrong about a character tell me. One day when I am finally able to change my phone the first thing i would do is download this game TvT

Edit: I play Twisted Wonderland now-

Tags: fem!reader, child!reader, platonic yandere Characters: School staff

Imagine just a small child was the one who gets taken into twisted wonderland rather than Yuu. The small child doesn't even know where she was as the cat who was surprised kept bugging her with question after queation about how you got here and such.

You cant answer, you didnt even have the answers as you just remember falling asleep on your bed peacefully only to wake up in a huge box opened by a cat.

A talking cat at that.

Dear the stress you gave to the poor thing when you suddenly grabbed the cat's cheeks and just pulled them. Made the poor cat yell in pain.

Crowley found you soon after, shocked to see a small child here in twisted wonderland! As he too started to ask where your parent was and how did you get here even berating the cat for being you here. (The cat Grim just continued to vehemently deny that he was the one who brought you here!!) You could not answer the man, just cheerfully telling the man that you were sleeping in your bed only to wake up here.

After realizing that he can't get any answers from your Crowley just picked you up in his arms as he called the other teachers to his office. 

The other teachers were also surprised when they saw you in Crowley's arms. They had wondered why the headmaster suddenly called for an emergency meeting and expected a few things may have gone wrong or some sort sure...

but a kid??

Sam jokingly asked if you were Crowley's kid that he never told anyone about which Crowley pointedly denied. He soon explained what had happened.

The teachers tried to push you for answers, some almost demanding you to give them till you burst out crying for feeling so much pressure. Professor Mozus suddenly took you away from Crowley's arms comforting you in his arms trying to shush as he glared at the other teachers for being so pushy to a small kid.

Slowly they found out that you were from another realm, not from here and that they cant just easily send you off to your home.

Your family probably thought you were kidnapped at this point!

Crowley had an idea of sending you to an orphanage while he research a way to get you back to your home but reasons aroused that made it impossible to send you away like that.

That the teachers were forced to take care of you.

That would not be a problem at all…. sure…

Who will be taking care of the kid?

It was Mozus who spoke first at the silent atmosphere saying that he would be the one taking care of you tho he would probably occasionally need help if his teacher's duty kept him busy and that was fine with others.

A lot of students were shocked to see you in professor Mozus's arms most of the second years and up have to blink multiple of times or rub their eyes shocked to see a kid with the professor much less smiling at the old guy. The fact that he was also smiling at you made many students believe that this was either a dream or an illusion some choosing to forget the whole thing.

Well, as if that was possible when you follow the old guy to class listening in on the lessons... Listening to the old man or occasionally be seen drawing something while the old man would yell at the student who stared at you for too long.

Sometimes they found you to be with other teachers who looked rather awkward to the fact that they had to watch you. Sometimes they would yell only to hold their tongue when they realize a small child was there in their classroom and might cry like she did last time and they won't be able to fix the situation.

But time went by they grew more and more attached to you. They started to often fight on who you would stay with when Mozus was busy, not only that they started to ask Mozus if he ever wants rest they could help him watch over you. It was suspicious when they do that for Mozus who always deny their offer preferring to be with you than let others take care of you.

It was even annoying when Crowley started to ask Mozus if he could take care of you at that point Mozus's cat would hiss at the headmaster wearing a crow mask daring him not to go near you or even touch you.

Lucius was also the same with the students hissing at those who wanted to talk to you. The more curious students would often try to get close to while the teacher is teaching to ask who you were and if you really were the daughter of professor Mozus or any other questions that had to deal with the rumors floating around not before they were caught by a teacher and shooed away from you.

There were many rumors floating around about you and since they can't go near you and the teachers all give mixed or vague answers none of those rumors were able to be put to rest.

There were rumors where people thought that you were the daughter of Professor Mozus who gave his daughter to the other professors to take care of her every so often. That somehow Professor Mozus had either fallen in love or had a one night stand incident or just something when tho almost nobody could believe that.

Professor Mozus would often smile if asked if you were his daughter about it not denying or accepting the rumors to be true, while other teachers would quickly deny any claims of it which only made things all the more suspicious really. (Tho everybody saw the sour face professor Mozus had when asked about the mother.)

Mozus would get you to wear a more sophisticated look with dark colors and frills occasionally he would make you wear a more pastel lolita style, it makes you look as if you were really the daughter of Mozus which the professors absolutely dislike. So whenever they got you they would quickly swap your outfit that Mozus picked into something more their style. Crowley probably has a small mask and coat that is similar to his when he would make you wear as you go around campus carried in his arms as you giggled at how ticklish the feathers on the mask were.

When you are in Divus's hands you would be wearing a small white fur coat as he told you to straighten your back and chin up. The professor tries to make you a model somtimes and would nag you to keep the jacket on even when you feel stuffy. While Sam would make you wear clothes oh his color tones with an added skull as you try and help around the shop (most things he wouldn't dare you to touch would be placed on the high shelves). Same for Ashton where he would make you wear something of sports wear.

At some point, the professors started fighting for your attention trying to get you to come them that day with promises, candy, toys and even more. The students who have seen this happening cannot believe their ears so much so that they again choose to believe that all this was a dream and nothing more, choosing in the end to forget what had happened and when somebody talks about it they block their ears and started a shout as if doing that could deny them the reality of what has happened.

It was never said that Crowley stopped seaching for a way for you to go back. They didnt want you to leave having grown so attached to you, they wanted to be with you, they wanted you to stay while they became your official guardians.

So when you started to cry wanting to see your parents, they will soothe you by telling you that it was alright, that it was okay that they would be with you and that they would never abandon you. They would not disappear like your parents did and they would love you more than your parents ever did.

Really it is rather often that some of the teachers would fight over who actually becomes your father, sure all of them became your guardians but who is like your father? Sam is alright being your uncle so long as he was your favorite uncle but like it was never decided who is your father…

aot characters at uni headcanons :) (because i am miserable at uni and wanna romanticise things)

eren

how did this guy get to uni? i guess we’ll never know. i guess we’ll never know

if it’s zoom, he’s most definitely causing chaos

i’m talking spamming the chat for whatever reason

“haha funny meme”

pretending he’s frozen when the prof (levi) calls on him

“jaeger, i can still see you blinking.” “IM NOT BLINKING ITS JUST A GLITCH- oh- shi-“ *goes back to silence and ‘frozen’ state*

and if it’s in perso, he’s still causing chaos.

“PROFESSOR CAN I ASK A QUESTION?” “yes, you can.” “where’s joe?” “who’s joe?” “JOE MAMA!!!!!!!”  “10% off your first assessment.”

im wheezing

*corrects the spelling mistakes on the slides like the petty girlboss he is*

his major? probably something really really really vague

like

is there a bachelor of edginess?

no? okay well probably studying something in humanities / science

does he study?

lmaoooo…..do pigs fly?

but does he somehow get a perfect gpa?

yeah

cause hes the main character, duh

if you don’t count the 10% professor levi deducted because of the joe mama joke

i dont really have anything else to say about him

but i would hate to have him in my class

mikasa

you know that really well dressed, quiet girl that always catches your eye in your lectures?

ladies, bros, and non-binary hoes, may i introduce mikasa ackerman?

she picks her electives so they match up with eren’s 🥺 

and in those classes

hoooo boy

she’s basically a mum

or a dog mum

keeping eren on a leash, if you will

honestly i see her doing a liberal arts degree, with a major in literary studies (i headcanon her as a lit student im sorry ahh she just has that vibe)

like eren, she has a perfect/almost perfect grades

and that’s because she actually STUDIES

like i said, shes really quiet and reserved & basically talks to no one except eren

but damn is she a boy magnet

*cough* JEAN *splutter* 

armin

he’s most definitely a geography student. dont @ me. i dont take constructive criticism. nor do i take criticism in general.

he’s either the teacher’s pet or hated by the teacher because he keeps correcting them

there is no in between 

like mikasa, studies 24/7

unlike mikasa, either does realllly really well or really really bad

he’s a polarising figure okay

and maybe his results are cause he doodles in his textbooks half the time

it’s not even a textbook at this point it’s a fkn sketchbook (lmao my partner’s maths book in high school was filled with the most amazing intricate doodles and basically no maths but he somehow got high 80s so uh) but yeah thats how i see it

daydreamer :D

especially in grades

wears a cardigan

soft boi incarnate 

goes out of his way to help confused freshmen 

cause he’s wholesome like that

#welovearminclub

sasha

FOOD SCIENCE MAJOR I REPEAT FOOD SCIENCE MAJOR

“i study food. and by study, i mean eat.”

mediocre grades at best

im sorry T_T i love her but i can’t see her being bothered at uni

messes around with connie half the time

or tries to at least

poor connie is trying to study

she is that one kid who brings a whole ass meal into class and eats it very loudly

“okay so if we look at the chemical structure of ca-“ *slurp slurp, BITCH*

there are food stains all over her textbooks and the notes connie forced her to take

connie

okay but he had no idea what he wanted to do in uni

so he just did what sasha was doing

food science buddies :D

much to sasha’s chagrin, his grades are better than hers

because he’s actually STUDYING

and idk NOT EATING DURING CLASS

they aren’t perfect grades but they’re good

he’s pretty quiet in class

he’s just tryna pass

and control sasha

idk which one’s harder

i envy the man tho

jean

commerce. major. or smth to do with business

he is so goddamn cocky im sorry it drives me insane

well dressed rich boi vibes

to his credit, he studies really hard and his grades are really good :)

he chooses electives so that they measure up with marco’s :D

i dont have much to say about him

simps for mikasa and mikasa only

loyal frat boi ig???

marco

music major PLSSS

i see him either being the nerdy boy wearing sweaters that plays ukelele/ acoustic guitar on the stairs (surrounded by fangirls)

or the boy with the kazoo that won’t quit (still surround by fangirls cause who doesnt love a kazoo?)

or both :D

when he sees jean sadly listening to ‘glimpse of us’ while thinking about mikasa 

he decides to jump in w a little bit of musical zang. cause he’s supportive

please see https://www.youtube.com/shorts/g82qI-jdRw4 for reference

you won’t regret it

it isn’t a rick roll i promise

like armin, a vvv sweet boy

will help any of his classmates in need :D 

basically stuck to jean like glue

historia

she’s a double major of law and political science

we love a girlboss academic queen

QUEEN? did ya see what i did there???

cmonnn laugh

SUCH a model student and shes so helpful and sweet aaa

everyone loves her

its impossible to hate her

soft girl mixed w light academia aesthetic :D

she is an angel incarnate 

perfect grades perfect social life perfect everything 

also a perfect girlfriend

*stares pointedly at ymir*

ymir

studying criminology because it has similar units to law

and someone in particular is doing law

you catch my drift?

she really doesn’t wanna go to class but will go if historia is going

*historia*ns will say theyre just friends

but we all know better :D

she doesn’t talk to anyone unless its historia

and shes got such a resting bitch face that no one dares approach her

even the professor is scared to call on her

she gets mediocre grades, but they improve when historia forces her to study

hanji

hanji my beloved <333

she’s a professor

the crackhead professor everyone likes

probably chemistry / physics / human bio

something sciency

100% will use her students for her experiments

with consent ofc 

it’s the 21st century after all

veryyyyy disorganised

will 1000000% forget she had class 

turns up 15 minutes late and fuming at the lack of organisation

“WHO THE FUCK IS RUNNING THIS CLASS?” 

“you are, professor”

“oh.”

i love her sm

i hate all sciences but i would study it if she was teaching it

levi

you know shota aizawa from mha?

yeah

that. he’s that guy

he does not fucking want to be there

what does he teach? probably politics or something to do w humanities

he calls his students ‘brats’

but affectionately

right?????? RIGHT????

his dead eyes scares all of the students so much that no one dares say anything

even when he’s asking  them questions

all silent

except for eren

who he tells to shut up 24/7

“class is cancelled because i don’t want to be here. go home, brats.”

if you dare fail his class…just write your will okay?

erwin

10000% a history teacher aHHHH

(totally not biased because i love history)

he’s so passionate about what he does! 

he definitely does re-enactments of battles with help from his students

kinda like rengoku’s spin on a history teacher

is really enthusiastic! 

all of the students love him

some love him a lil toooo much

cmon, you see it too right?

takes students under his wing

just

a ball of sunshine

best professor ever

ahhhh it makes me so happy thinking about it

reiner

first, i would like to establish that we love reiner in this household

and if you don’t agree, LEAVE

seriously tho the guy needs a hug, therapy and cookies

i headcanon him as a humanities and psychology student!

he just wants to learn about the world and make it a better place okay ):

i could also see him as training to be a psychologist

the therapist-type of psychologist that is (clinical psychologist for all you fancy smartpants out there)

studies very very hard!

he throws himself into his work 100000%

all or nothing

speaking of which

he’s all about taking care of his education and his physical fitness too!

soft gymbro reiner

the nice gymbro that drinks respect women juice daily

yeah we stan him :D

probably really popular amongst the ladies and the gays but is too clueless to recognise it

annie

okay first, she’s definitely doing criminology

with the aim of going into the police force

(where i live, you have to do a degree in crim before working as a police - i think :D)

cmon she is canonically in the military police

there is no way she wouldn’t do it in uni

she never ever ever turns up to class

she just doesn’t like people okay

she would much rather be curled up in her dorm with her noise-cancelling headphones

doing her classes online

but if she’s on zoom

camera off, mike off

catch berty dragging her grumpy ass to exams

“ANNIE, YOU HAVE TO ATTEND EXAMS IN PERSON”

*camera cuts to annie who isn’t even planning to do exams at all*

she doesn’t study much

she’s really passive about uni and she doesn’t really care

but she does really well, she has a talent for crim :’)

girlboss incarnate

bertholdt

[buckle up; this one is a long one (1.6k words)]

things weren’t supposed to turn out this way.

she was supposed to show up, apologize “sincerely,” and the boys, her boys, were supposed to welcome her with open arms and swiftly discard of you.

instead, she was sitting in the back of a cramped police car with two pigs, one of which had a horrible b.o. problem and an affinity for sauerkraut.

it was so frustrating.

and, of course, it was all your fault.

you’d been blocking her from true happiness ever since the beginning when you’d first met in middle school. it was crazy because you’d actually seemed nice; kind, understanding, and you didn’t judge her for what her father did to her mother or for how she acted out because of that.

sure, you were a little weird and sometimes you could be downright rude to other kids in your class but you cared for her in a way that no one else had before.

(un)fortunately, you didn’t come alone — you were a packaged deal. your childhood friend, daishou, came into her life right along with you. she didn’t mind at first; daishou was fun when he wanted to be but he was mostly full of snarky comments and sarcastic quips.

the three of you spent all your time with each other; from playing at the playground to helping her begin her makeup youtube channel in 8th grade.

you all got along pretty well up until you got to highschool. once there, you threw yourself into your studies, sort of retracting yourself from her and daishou.

how selfish.

she couldn’t help but feel betrayed by you—you knew how bad she was at making friends and you didn’t even care, leaving her all alone to fend for herself.

well, not all by herself.

daishou was a constant. no matter where she was, or how alone she was feeling, he was there to provide entertainment at the most, and his presence at the least.

it wasn’t always the healthiest, most functional friendship, she could admit that. there were weeks that daishou would choose to ignore her for no apparent rhyme or reason, citing his explanation as he just didn’t feel like it.

obviously it sucked but he was her only friend, ever since you so cruelly abandoned them. i mean, you still ate lunch with them every day and invited them over to study and hang out, but it was not the same.

with you so absent, she grew closer and closer to daishou to the point she was spending almost every waking moment with him. and, as the story so goes, she fell for him, head over heels.

she knew it was a bad idea, if their friendship was anything to go off of but she didn’t care. she was desperate for love and physical affection and he seemed willing to at least give her the latter.

after she decided to confess, nerves all the way in her throat and a box of chocolates behind her back, daishou took her virginity in the back of his ford fusion, hard, fast and nothing like she’d imagined.

the next day, she’d cornered you in the library (where you always seemed to be) to tell you the good news. your face was unusually blank as she detailed the best night of her life to you, your response being less than stellar when she was done. “please be careful,” you had said.

what did that even mean? you clearly wanted to keep daishou safe from her which was ridiculous because weren’t you supposed to be her friend too? she’d stormed out of the library after that, determined to demand a kiss from daishou to make her feel better.

that day was one of the last that she’d see you for a while. you got caught up with clubs and schoolwork (and apparently therapy for god knows what) while she got caught up with daishou.

things with him weren’t... great. they never really were but things were getting even worse. his random bouts of silence got longer and though it was only freshman year and they’d been dating for less than 5 months, he’d meet with her after school with a hickey plastered on his collarbone that she knew she didn’t put there (she sucked even harder over the spot to claim it as her own).

as she said, things weren’t great but they weren’t horrible either. they remained that way all the way up until sophomore year.

you and her had drifted even further, hardly speaking to one another unless it was for a project or to vaguely greet one another in the halls. it was okay though. you had all your other friends and she... well she had daishou.

speaking of, her “boyfriend” had been more distant than usual. she wasn’t an idiot and she knew he’d been seeing other girls on the side, but she believed she would be the one he’d end up with, the one he’d marry.

how foolish she had been.

it was prom night and she felt beautiful. her beauty channel had finally begun picking up traction (she’d just hit 13k subscribers the night before!!) so she filmed a prom night makeup tutorial, making sure that every square inch of her face was perfect. donning a silky blue floor length dress, she felt like a princess and she certainly looked the part.

she showed up to daishou’s house about 30 minutes before the event, ringing his doorbell with an elated grin painted all over her face. he had mentioned in passing that his parents and older sister would be out for the weekend, leaving the house for themselves. that meant sex and sex meant being wanted.

after the third ring of the bell, she started to get nervous. maybe he wasn’t ready yet? maybe he needed help with his tie? just when she was about to wring the bell again, the door swung open to reveal daishou... not in his suit.

“oh, it’s you,” he’d grumbled. “‘m not goin’ to prom.” she felt her breath catch in her throat. she’d protested and begged for an explanation but he wouldn’t give one to her. eventually, she’d followed him into his house, furious because how could he do this to her? on her night?

it didn’t take very long for him to get fed up, his snake-like eyes honing in on her, filled with venom. “‘m not goin’ because i don’t like you anymore. you still look pretty though.”

just like that, with just a few words, he’d shattered her heart. she was frozen in place, completely disconnected from daishou, her love, as he not-so-gently pushed her out the door, slamming it in her face.

she felt tears stream down her cheeks and before she knew it, her legs were carrying her to a place she hadn’t been in months.

banging frantically on the door, she cried out, begging for someone, anyone to hear her. the door opened quickly and there you stood. you’d clearly been studying but as you took in her frazzled appearance, it seemed as though your heart broke.

you ushered her inside, sat her own the couch, and began to make her a cup of tea, your parents having been out for the night as well. once the kettle went off, you quickly prepped her drink and gave it to her, the words flowing out of her like liquid once she had taken a sip.

she didn’t know why she was even there but despite the animosity between the two of you, you seemed like you truly... cared. (neither of you mentioned the tears that stained your favorite t shirt or the quiet apologies you muttered into her hair).

that night quickly went and passed and by the next day, she was feeling rejuvenated and more like herself. however, that feeling quickly dissipated when she caught you in the hallway between classes speaking with daishou behind the stairwell in hushed tones.

within the span of a few hours, her heart had been broken twice and she was sure she’d never felt such heartache before.

she turned on her heel and darted away, avoiding your every attempt to talk to her for weeks and weeks until you just... stopped trying. after you’d cut off conversation, yet again, the sadness quickly festered and morphed into anger.

that anger only grew when she watched you graduate at the top of your class in your senior year, your smile blinding as you accepted your diploma. it only grew when she saw that you had made it into the university of your choice on your instagram story, her own rejection letter torn up in the bottom of her wastebin. it only grew when she saw you’d made your own youtube channel, her own going untouched and neglected (her last video had been a half-assed “get ready with me” that had more dislikes than likes due to her horrible makeup and even worse attitude).

soon enough, the rage had intensified until it had taken over her whole being. she was just so angry at all that you’d done to her, all the ways you’d ruined her life that she couldn’t keep herself from plotting your demise.

when she got the email from the hyper house management team that invited her into the house and offered the option that she could pick someone she wanted to move in as well, her anger turned into excitement.

this was her chance. this was her moment to turn your life into a living hell, to make it at least a fraction of what she went through by your hands.

she was going to make you pay and god, was it going to feel great.

the metal of the handcuffs chafed her wrists as she adjusted herself against the cool leather of the cruiser, the discomfort removing her from her reverie.

yeah, right. it seemed as though she was the only one “paying” right about now.

she tilted her head back to stare at the ceiling, tears filling her eyes but refusing to fall.

things definitely weren’t meant to turn out like this. not at all.

Hello!! My friend!! I’m so excited for your song prompt list.

I would like to request song 13 pretty please! 💛💛💛

Ily and I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

PHOEBE!! My absolute love, my brain twin. You picked "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran.

To be honest this doesn't have a super exciting story, it's just a song I associate with my husband because 1. we were young when we fell in love and 2. he will always be perfect to me, flaws and all. The acoustic version with Beyoncé came out just after we got married, but if it was released earlier it may have been in our ceremony.

Umm, so, this thing grew a life of its own. I hope you like it

With You Between My Arms

CW: Vague implications of underage drinking, could be read as implied mpreg, but it's really up to your interpretation, canon-typical self-esteem issues

For reasons known only to herself, McGonagall had decided that a graduation ball was a great idea, as if this class hadn’t been through enough. Deadly situations every year, an entire war, returning to a school full of children even though they felt one hundred years older. And now a Merlin-forsaken ball. 

Hermione had scoffed at him, told him he was being melodramatic. Ron had clapped him on the shoulder. “If you can survive multiple encounters with dragons I reckon you can survive this, mate.”

They were wrong, though. Because dragons weren’t nearly this scary. Or, well, real dragons weren’t this scary. Their namesakes, on the other hand, were terrifying. 

Harry had spent the last month trying to convince himself to ask Draco to the ball, only to chicken out at the last minute every time. Sure, they were friends now, but that didn’t mean that Draco wanted to go to a ball with him. Him, Harry, who still woke up screaming most nights and dissasociated during class and couldn’t talk to his crush without saying something stupid. 

Sometimes, he could almost believe that Draco would have said yes. That the casual touches and the dimpled smiles and the strokes against his forehead in the middle of the night actually meant something. But he was Harry, and Draco was Draco, and asking him to the ball was only going to lead to heartbreak. 

All this and more was whirring through Harry’s mind as he stood against the wall, pretending to guard the punch. If he wasn’t going to dance he might as well be vaguely useful. Or at least, that’s what he had told Ron and Hermione. In reality, his current position afforded the perfect view of Draco who was dancing with his friends. 

Or, he had been dancing with his friends. 

Why was Draco coming his way? Perfect, beautiful Draco in his tailored robes, his honey hair glinting under the candlelight. 

Why was he looking at Harry like that?

“Looking for an opportunity to spike the punch, Potter?”

Harry blinked. Whatever he had expected Draco to say, it wasn’t that. 

“I’m meant to be preventing that, actually.” He smiled ruefully. “I wouldn’t try it though, I think I’ve failed at least five times. It’s probably more lethal than anything Aberforth sells at this point.”

“Come and dance with me, then,” Draco says, holding out his hand, palm up.

“W-what?” Harry trips over himself, unbelieving that this could be happening.

“There’s no point in guarding an already-inebriated punch bowl.” Draco shook his hand slightly, as if to say ‘come on, what are you waiting for?’

Trying to squash his hope - this isn’t what it looks like, he just wants to have a friendly dance, don’t be an idiot - Harry takes Draco’s hand, allowing himself to be led onto the dancefloor. He runs his free hand through his hair, trying in vain to tame his ever-messy curls. 

“Dont,” Draco murmurs, grabbing Harry’s hand from his hair and placing it on his own shoulder. “The messy look suits you.”

Harry can only gulp as Draco wraps his arm around Harry’s waist, pulling them flush against each other. “Is this ok?” Draco whispers, as if Harry’s dreams hadn’t all just come true. 

“Perfect.”

The lights flashed around them, reflecting off Harry’s glasses as he turned towards Draco, drinks in hand. His hair was even messier than usual, a result of Harry’s nervous ticks and Draco’s own hands. He didn’t think he would ever get tired of running his hands through Harry’s hair, down the back of his neck. Even when they were purely platonic, curled up on the common room couch after one of Harry’s nightmares, Draco had delighted in those curls, teasing out the knots, soothing Harry’s panic with gentle caresses. 

Now, though, he got to run his hands through Harry’s hair whenever he wanted. He tangled the curls around his fingers when they kissed, tugging them just the way that Harry liked. He massaged shampoo through Harry’s hair, caressing his scalp until he hummed sleepily. He carded through Harry’s hair in the mornings, settling it back down from the daily hedgehog look his boyfriend always woke up with. 

Draco realised that definitely had a kink for Harry’s hair, but he couldn’t bring himself to be ashamed of it. Harry’s hair had a life of its own, how could he not be obsessed with it?

All that to say, Draco barely paid attention to the drink Harry handed him, instead focusing on the piece of hair currently climbing its way down Harry’s face towards his eye. Reflexively taking a sip of his drink, Draco reached out with his other hand to tuck the wayward curl behind Harry’s ear. He had never expected to feel this fond of Harry, this soft. But, Merlin, this man had done something to him, and he never wanted to go back to how he was before.

After another barely-noticed sip Draco gave his drink up as lost, gently removing Harry’s from his hand and tugging him onto the dance floor. 

The subsequent dance was too slow and too tender for a nightclub, but with Harry in his arms, head tucked securely under Draco’s chin, neither of them could bring themselves to care.

Harry was silent as he walked through the cottage. He had no recollection of this place, and yet the whole building felt suffused with warmth and familiarity. It was as if the very wallpaper was welcoming him home.

------

He took his time, wandering up and down the stairs, in and out of each room countless times. His fingers trailed along the walls, the counters, the bannisters. He was sure that he had started crying at some point, but all he could feel was joy. 

Joy, and an overwhelming love for the man waiting for him in the tiny little garden out the back. 

“You did this, for me?”

It seemed impossible, but Draco’s gaze continued to soften as Harry walked towards him. “I understand if you don’t want to live here, Love.” Draco drew Harry to his chest, stroking a strong back, fingers running through tangled curls. “But I thought that you deserved to see it how it should be. How your parents intended you to see it.”

Harry didn’t think that he could speak just then, so he burrowed further into Draco’s embrace, soaking his boyfriend’s shirt with his tears. He didn’t know how long they stood like that for, simply holding each other close. It could have been minutes or hours before he realised that they were swaying gently back and forth, Draco steering him almost imperceptibly in circles across the neatly trimmed grass. 

They danced as the sun slowly sank below the horizon, as Harry’s tears turned to giggles, as their lazy sways turned to silly dips and spins. 

As the final vestiges of light disappeared Harry drew Draco’s forehead to his own, slowing them back down into a gentle transfer of weight back and forth. 

“I would be honoured to share this home with you.”

---------

Draco arrived home to a cold, dark house. He didn’t have time to feel worried, however, before a shrill cry rang through the house. Hanging his coat by the door he made his way to their cozy living room, using his wand to light the fire and send the dirty bottles to the kitchen. By the state of the room, it had been a tough day in the cottage. 

Jamie had continued to cry, and as Draco turned to face Harry his heart broke. Harry had Jamie snuggled against his chest, shushing the fretting baby as he bounced on the balls of his feet. Judging from the fatigue lines on his face, the pair had been here for hours. What really tugged at Draco’s heart, however, were the tears coursing down Harry’s own cheeks, and when he listened closely he could hear the tell-tale hitches that indicated that father was crying along with his son. 

Harry was the strongest person he knew, only ever giving into his emotions when he had reached the very end of his rope. Draco had been trying to get him to open up more, but it was clear that Harry had not broken down by choice. 

“Oh, Love,” Draco whispered, reaching to take the baby. “How long has he been like this?”

Draco didn’t think it was possible, but Harry’s face crumpled even further as he sank into the couch, hands tangled in his messy hair. 

“Since noon.” Harry’s voice was muffled by the hands now on his face, but Draco could still hear the despair and, gut-wrenchingly, self-loathing in his words. Torn between his still-fussy baby and his distraught boyfriend, Draco held Jamie firmly against his chest with one hand, running the other soothing through Harry’s hair. 

“Darling, I’m so sorry.” Draco kept his voice low, trying to sooth both father and son. “You should have called me, Love. I would have come home.”

Harry looked up at him, tears still running down his face. “You had that important meeting. I didn’t want to bother you just because I’m a terrible father.”

Draco knelt in front of Harry, gently guiding his chin until he gained eye contact. “Sweetheart, having a fussy baby does not make you a terrible father. Jamie is the luckiest baby in the world, because he has you as his daddy.” At Harry’s sniffle, Draco placed a light kiss on his lips. “And if you think that there is anything on this earth that is more important to me than you and Jamie, I haven’t been doing my job as your partner.”

Harry dropped his head onto Draco’s chest, right next to Jamie. Draco wondered whether his heartbeat was as soothing to Harry as it was to the tiny baby now clutching Harry’s hair.

“I did call Molly,” Harry whispered, “but she couldn’t get him to calm down either. She eventually suggested that I should just put him in his cot for a while so I could have a break, but-”

Harry’s voice broke, and it was only his head against Draco’s chest that stopped Molly from getting an unexpected visit. Draco loved Harry’s surrogate mum, he really did, but sometimes it was like she forgot Harry’s trauma and when she did, it made Draco’s blood boil.

“I couldn’t just leave him,” Harry hiccoughed, his tears drenching Draco’s business shirt. “He was so upset, Love, and the thought of him lying there, thinking he was all alone. I just-”

“Shh, Harry. Shh, Sweetheart.” Draco vaguely registered tears running down his own face, falling into Harry’s messy curls, onto the sweet baby fluff on Jamie’s head. Jamie, who had nuzzled himself between Harry and Draco’s bodies, and was now happily sleeping, his thumb stuck in his perfect little mouth. 

“Here, Love.” Draco stood carefully, guiding Harry up with him to avoid stirring Jamie. Pulling Harry against him, Jamie sandwiched gently between them, Draco began to sway. 

“See, that’s just proof that you aren’t a terrible father, Harry.” Harry rested his head on Draco’s shoulder, an act of trust that Draco still couldn’t believe that he was afforded. “You spent six hours loving on our baby, even though it was hard. You could have walked away, Love, but you didn’t.”

“But I couldn’t stop him crying. I should know how to stop my baby crying.”

“If the roles were reversed, if I was the one who had been home all day, would you blame me?”

Harry’s head snapped up, eyes wide with shock. “What? No! Babies are just like that someti-” He chuckled ruefully. “Oh.”

Draco placed his lips against Harry’s forehead. “Yes, oh. Silly.”

Harry sighed and laid his head back on Draco’s shoulder, allowing himself to be calmed by Draco’s gentle swaying. It could have been minutes or hours, but here, in this moment, Draco had everything he had ever wanted. 

“Harry, Love,” Draco whispered, nudging Harry’s face up towards him. “Marry me.”

Harry’s feet stopped, almost tripping Draco. A reflexive hand on Jamie’s back, he stared into Draco’s face. 

“Draco, what?”

“Marry me.” Draco tugged Harry back in, as flush as they could be with a baby between them. “And no, I’m not just saying this because you’ve had a bad day. I have a-a ring and a plan and-”

Harry cut him off with a kiss. 

“Yes.”

This time it was Draco who stopped swaying. 

“A-are you sure? I can ask properly. It’s just, I realised that you are my everything. You and Jamie. And I wanted you to know that and-”

“Yes, Draco,” Harry laughed, placing kisses all over Draco’s face. “Yes I will marry you.”

And even though Harry’s face was splotchy and Draco’s shirt was covered in tears and baby snot, here, in this moment, everything was perfect.

i have a question actually if ya dont mind, how do you go about writing? just like in general, do you start before having a WIP intro, how soon do you start talking abt it/writing it, how much do you prep, literally all and any advice would be appreciated tysm <3

Hey, buddy!

I'm gonna preface this with the usual disclaimer of "what works for me might not work for you because human brains are squishy and cool" and all that good stuff. Pick and choose or completely disregard, as with all writing-related stuff, the choice is yours!

This is long, so hold onto your boots and here we go.

The concept stage is normally pretty straightforward for me. I'll be trying to take notes in class, at work, whatever, and my brain'll wander off and go "okay, but--but what about a giant pack-moose?" and bam, off I go (re. Prince for Hire). In this stage I'll normally develop the main character(s) or the situation/setting--whichever the stray thought fairy didn't grant. That'll usually take the form of scribbling out a few characters' names to get a sense of the time period/language-base (Kiris was the first character, but Iiriok Nelovskevouk of Dargoulvga was the first named character, and his name accordingly set my naming practices for the Novgor Plateau). If I had a character first, I'll come up with a setting/situation I think would challenge them. Once I have an idea of a character and situation (and realize, when I say "idea," it really might just be a name) I'll scribble out a page with that person/setting. So, for Prince for Hire, that makes the first scene I ever wrote for it Kiris escaping in a queen's bathtub across a giant lake because the queen just discovered he was a conman. Did I keep that scene? Myeh.

Nominally from there I'll try and rough out a plot. Having spent considerable time reworking Attenuate/Reverberate because I didn't rough in a plot, this is the one step I really would recommend you consider doing. By "rough out", I mean I came up with a few vague plot points. For Prince for Hire, there are only four I'm working with: 1) Kiris enters the competition to rule the Plateau; 2) Kiris teams up with Batar and eliminates the competition; 3) Iiriok is accused of being an imposter, convinces the empress otherwise, and Kiris volunteers to help Iiriok find the imposter; 4) Iiriok wins. Not much of an outline, really. But I've found that if I try and get any more specific than this, I won't end up writing it because I'll have tricked myself into already knowing what's going to happen. That said, I absolutely recommend you choose yourself a favorite plot structure (Save the Cat, Three Act, Five Act, whatever) and keep its major scenes in the back of your head. Vaguely adhering to a structure will make drafts two and three a helluva lot easier.

Once I've got a vague direction for the plot, I'll jump in and start writing. I personally use Word with default settings, as that's what I've been writing in since elementary school. I try and start near the front of the story, not caring much about the opening chapter, because I figure it's free words and the opening chapter will change. TBH not worrying about making the opening chapter at all remotely interesting helps me make everything behind the "opening" interesting. As I start to figure out the characters, maybe doing some more worldbuilding on the side, scenes I actually want to write start rolling in. I'll divert to go write those in what's usually a separate document (like an AU). After about 10k in the original document, I'll have a pretty good idea of whether or not the story is going where I want it to go. In the case of Prince, it wasn't, so I shelved the very first attempt at it and then started adding directly to the "AU" doc with all the changes I wanted to make.

I find I write best in the mornings or the evenings, and that afternoons are slow AF unless there's something else I should be doing, in which case, we're good to go. Depending on how fascinated I am staring at the blinky cursor, I'll handwrite. Handwriting for me also works well because it takes effort for me to read my own handwriting, so there's no chance of self-editing while I'm going for it.

On the topic of self editing, for first drafts what I like to do when I know something is going to need reworking, or need a hint input before, or is missing something, or I just really want to skip to the next scene ('cause again, I prefer the linear thing when possible), I'll stick it in <<>> triangle brackets. It's easy to search. Some people I've heard use a word, like elephant. Others use square brackets. Whatever shape you like best, just the key is that you want it ctrl-f -able. Putting things in brackets makes it so editor me doesn't butt in on creative me's time. It's gotten to the point where I even do it while handwriting, as a note for when I type it up to consider dealing with it (or, again, pass it off to draft two future me. I owe future me several coffees for all my little <<triangle notes>>).

Somewhere in here I'll try and come up with a synopsis type thing. TBH these usually turn out more as query-letter type things for me, but whatever. That's what the WIP intros for Attenuate and Prince for Hire are. These I've found help guide me, and keep in aligned with the general tone of the piece. If you'd like, I'd be happy to try and wrangle up the advice I used for writing those.

If I realize I'm having some trouble wrangling the character (mostly apparent to me by the 15k mark), I'll pause, break out the notebook, and play arm-chair psychologist with them. What I'm looking to find in these sessions is a version of the classic "goal-want-need." I don't like being that structured though, so for me I go with Goal 1&2, Surface Belief 1&2, Actual Belief 1&2, and Need. At the bottom are the pages I did for Madison (Attenuate/Reverberate) and Kiris (Prince), and what that looks like in my OneNote. Their need--and the beliefs they need to overcome to get there--will give me the overarching emotional direction of the plot.

TBH I'm pretty sloppy on my worldbuilding. I usually figure it out as I write the first draft. Did I know that tea was going to be a very important, entirely truthful ritual for the princes' competitions? Nope. Not until I needed to kick the plot into gear and hit Kiris with the inciting incident, then bam, Prince Nazvili was ordering him to tea and he was freaking out because that isn't the way things are done.

Throughout this entire process, I'll also keep a running checklist of things to-do. These are things I'll usually <<note>> somewhere in the actual first draft manuscript, but which apply to the manuscript as a whole rather than that one specific section. Basically, if it's going to require a major change or continuity for longer than three paragraphs, it gets a to-do box.

Sometimes, I'll find that what I have just isn't working. That's what the "stuff I 2022" document is for! It's a hodgepodge of ctrl-x'd things from every project I've worked on this year that just weren't working in the main manuscript. Like a shipyard, I guess. All the words still exist if it turns out I want to add them back in or need to reference something, but they're basically in the recycle bin. The things added here vary in length from a sentence to a 30k segment (although the longer items generally only happen during later drafts).

Finally, the real way I keep the ball rolling? Work on it every day. Sometimes "work" will be that one miraculous 5k day. Sometimes it'll be half a word (actually though. There was one point in Reverberate where I just didn't have the mental energy to really work on it, so I tapped in the "Th" of "this" and that was it). Sometimes "work" will be coming up with characters, or figuring out worldbuilding, or dealing with some of the <<notes>>, or even just adding a comma. If it somehow progresses the WIP, it's work.

Anywho, like I said, that was long AF. I hope it helps, and never hesitate to ask questions :)

The armchair studies for Madison and Kiris. If you can read these, I salute you.

I love you

By Marita This is 10 pages of people talking about their feelings. SFW Ekurei

If only....If only you’d say those words. “I love you” It would be all I’ve ever wanted.

You see... evil spirits are a classic example of people who get hyperfixated on things. They get caught up in things, and are unable to move on from the world.   It’s not becasue we’re masochists that love being bound up in all of this... No.. it’s not that at all. But now and then.....

Ekubo: I love you......there’s a is in fact a desire to hear something like that.   (So the previous caption was him thinking, then he says this out loud. )

Reigen: Hey Ekubo

Ekubo: Huh?

Reigen: What did you say? 

Reigen: You...Is that how you really fee? 

Ekubo opens his mouth to say something.

Ekubo: ........ nothing... I didnt say anything.

Reigen: eh? Um....well...uh..

Serizawa: The tea is ready! Ah! Ekubo!

Ekubo: Restroom (He gets up and slouches away)

Ekubo thinking: SHIIT !!

Said something super embarrassing because I got carried away in my thoughts.  Wait.... maybe this could be an opportunity. No...No.... No this is not what I want.

Just begging for him to say it is pretty shallow....even though it’s what I want to hear. Well.... it’s not really okay.

Ekubo: WHOA!

Reigen: Stop hogging the bathroom! You’ve been in there forever!

Ekubo thinks: Ugh....Something that slipped out accidentally like that... if only there was a situation where it could be said in earnest. 

He turns and Serizawa is looking at him with a goofy smile.

Ekubou: Th...This ass....

Reigen comes out of bathroom: Ah! that’s better. 

Serizawa: Oh! Mr. Reigen....

Ekubo: Hey...Hey....(He thinks seri is going to bring it up)

Serizawa: I’m going to head to my classes now. 

Reigen: Ah! Is that so? Well, thank you for your hard work today.

Seri leaves and Eku pulls the blinds to watch him leave. Seri turns around and gives him the “go for it!” hand signal from the street.  Ekubo: What!?

Ekubo thinks: Serizawa heard... goddammit. That asshat.

Reigen: So...

Reigen: How would you define a partner?

Ekubo: Where did this come from?

Reigen: It’s nothing really, Just curious if knowing that changes anything.

Ekubo: Define.....

Reigen thinks: Is he willing to say?

Ekubo: Someone to stay at your side and be a pillar of strength for your emotions. A sense of security and calm.

Reigen: Ah...

Ekubo: Does love always have to involve sexual desire? You like these topics don’t you? 

Reigen: I do like. (He’s intentionally vague here. It’s not made clear if he likes the topic or Ekubo)

Ekubo: !! 

Ekubo: Wh...What did you say?

Reigen: Ah...that’s right....Being able to feel at ease together. Being able to be open and honest with each other? And.....right... there’s also...

Reigen: You can’t help but pick up on every remark and every action of the object of your affection. That’s love right? 

Ekubo: Shit

Reigen: Youre the same way aren’t you Ekubo?

Ekubo thinks: Shit I can’t think clearly.

Ekubo: What are you trying to say?

Reigen: So then.... let me just say it properly. I love you, you idiot evil spirit. 

Reigen: Huh? You're just gonna ignore me? Say something.

Huh? 

Reigen notices that Ekubo is blushing so much it’s reached his ears. 

HAHAHA You're just like girl. 

Reigen thinks: This is kind of awkward fumbling is so unlike you.  

Reigen thinks: It makes me want to do it to you all the time. 

Reigen: Hey! Hey! A normal looking smile from you! That’s a rare sight you know!

Ekubo: Oh?  What are you so smug about? Careful or I’ll make you eat that shit-eating grin one of these days. Revenge is a dish best served cold. 

Reigen: Oh you dont have to worry! I’ve got a reliable disciple that will always protect me. Hahahahaha

Ekubo: Ugh....

Reigen: To be honest...I was worried that if I told you what you wanted to hear, you’d have what you wanted and pass on or something. 

Ekubo: Heh you worry too much. Give it a rest. I’m still dead set on becoming a god, so I’m not going anywhere until that happens. That said, you still owe~~~ He gets interrupted by Reigen

Reigen: Yes...Yes... my deepest gratitude, bottom of my heart yeah sure.

Ekubo: Ugh...I don’t know what to do with you. (He says this with a kind of resigned fondness)

Ennnh... I’m not really into this comic......but...I already translated it so I might as well post it. The drawings are beautiful and Im a big fan of the idea that Ekubo is a permanent lanky fixture on the Spirits and Such Couch nowdays and just lanks around there all day.
