#i'll be honest this is just a lil one bc i actually meant for it to go on the end of that one where he finds out his parents knew

[stevieharringtonwifeguy]

fae!steve who, practically the moment he learns what he can do, sets up a trap curse for his parents. if they ever kick him out and disown him, then the second he exits their threshold he'll take all their luck with him. he'd feel bad about cursing his parents, but the point of a trap curse is that it doesn't activate unless the targets of the curse do something to meet its requirements. if his parents were just good people, good parents, then nothing bad will ever happen to them.

but they really can't seem to help themselves. steve guesses he saw this coming.

he tells eddie about it, when eddie comes to pick him and his one allowed box of clothes and shit from the harrington house. eddie'd offered to curse them, 'might as well make good on my whole evil satanist reputation', but steve told him he already had it covered. told him about the trap. he's never seen eddie look so proud and so sad at the same time.

and sure enough, all good luck leaves the harrington household when steve does. a random irs check reveals harrington sr's years of tax fraud, and his business goes bankrupt trying to pay the fines. someone leaks pictures of one of mrs harringtons senior aides on a drug filled bender in the city, ruining both her campaigns squeaky clean image and her chances at reelection in the fall. several of mr harringtons former secretaries sue for sexual harassment, while seemingly every other woman he's ever come in contact with simultaneously sues for child support.

and steve just watches. he's happy now, living with eddie in a small apartment with their cat and the various small woodland creatures eddie keeps trying to sneak in (so far steve's had to kick out three raccoons, a possum, a skunk, two bats, and a coyote. they've all been very understanding when he's explained the situation to them but eddie still acts like a kicked puppy every time he does it). eddie keeps a little shoebox under their bed with newspaper clippings of every terrible thing to befall the mighty harringtons, says it's in case steve ever wants the reminder that he got one over on them in the end. a reminder that steve's happy and they're not.

steve doesn't need it. he feels it, every time the curse does something to them, something clicking in his chest like one of those alarm clocks with the flaps that flip over from one minute to the next. he wonders if it'll ever feel like too much. if he'll ever think they've been punished enough. they've had a rough couple years, it's sort of only a matter of time before something happens that's unlucky enough to injure or kill them.

steve thinks if he was human, maybe he'd care. maybe he'd look at that shoebox with the guilt eddie seems to be half-expecting every time he brings it out. but he's not, so he doesn't. he set the trap, but his 'parents' are the ones who sprung it.

they really should have known better than to cross a changeling.

Dude I love how you make gods feel like *gods*. One thing I think a lot of people have trouble with is making their deities feel like either A. Non-characters that are just forces of nature, like a hurricane, or B. making them *too* much like regular characters, negating the impression of how powerful they're supposed to be.

In every part of that first Demise vs Hylia fight, it felt like something that would be both awe-inspiring and terrifying to witness, and when you mentioned in that other post how Demise would use his true form to escape a mountain, it gave me mental images of a massive volcano, but simultaneously all the *rage* that would be involved. Like I don't know the context but. Oh boy is Demise probably not going to be happy about getting stuck in a mountain

I just!! It is very early rn and Idk if I'm making a lot of sense but you are *so good at this*

I'll be honest, at first i wondered if this ask was actually meant for me or perhaps got to the wrong person ( i got teary eyed reading this ... multiple times qoq)

ANd yes i agree that often gods tend to be either too distant or too much like a normal character, personally im not a fan of the latter xD

the deities in destiny are supposed to be like a middle ground, the three golden gods are very 'other' while the deities are supposed to be a mix of mortals and gods, not half-gods since they more god than mortal but still with a connection to the world (thats almost the entire reason the gods made them like that, bc the gods themselves cannot walk the worlds they created on their own; the deities are essentially their hand to control the world - which isnt working to well as we see gnvfjdknkdfn)

anyway, waht i mean is ... Thank you??!! i, sometimes get so lost in self doubt and how others do similar concepts just wayyy better and like .. idk how to express how this lil ask makes me feel (positively!!!), i always hope i can convey at least a fraction of what i feel writing my stories, which is hard with no movement and no sound, just art, to hear that i am actually somewhat succeeding at it is kinda .. idk, baffling?? i am no good with words myself ;O;

the scene you mentioned is from chapter 3, and i got so motivated by this ask that i had to .. attempt to draw a lil concept of that scene in it, even tho i know its really rough and i hope will get it done better once i get to that chapter .. but its something? ;u;

Music was blasting so loud but that wasn't what your ears cared about. All you could focus on was Sirius’ voice, the words brushing his pretty pink lips. Lips you once kissed, at a party like this one. You hoped you could kiss him more, but you were his best friend. And he was a player.

You weren’t the first girl he kissed drunk but probably the only one he didn’t lead to his bedroom after. You didn’t know what it meant, you hoped he contained himself because he cared about you and not wanted you to think you were just a one-night thing.

Something was signalling you you were right, he had fewer and fewer night partners as you grew closer. You still needed to figure it out further but you didn’t have to worry about it right now.

Because right now, Sirius was so so close to you and you needed a lot of self-control to stop yourself from closing the gap between both your mouths. You wondered if Sirius knew how beautiful he was. Sure, he knew he was handsome but beautiful? Probably not but you hoped he would one day.

“How can you be so pretty?” Sirius whispered, his lips against your ear and it made you shiver more than it should. 

On his side, Sirius was actually terrified. What a shitty situation was to be in love with his best friend. And as he looked down at you, taking notes you wore the stars earrings he loved so much, he could only remember the way your lips felt on his. He missed and craved the feeling. 

He ignored from where came the confident all of a sudden but he welcomed it with pleasure. Normally he would be flirty but not so honest, he would try to charm you as a joke (because best friends flirt with each other ironically, right?) but this time he just wanted you to know how endearing you looked to him. And he didn’t even drink as much as he did usually, and neither did you.

Everything around the both of you slowed down when he pronounced these words, nothing was existing anymore. Sirius couldn’t describe the sensation, he wanted you more than anything but he was scared you only saw him as a player and didn’t want anything serious with him. And if only you could know how much he loved you, he missed you anywhere and anytime. At least, as your closest friend, it was so easy to follow you around everywhere.

But before he could do anything, you leaned in, your hand cupping his cheek, tilting his head down. Your lips reached for his, and he let himself get lost in the kiss, his hands quickly around your waist. Kissing you sober was maybe one of the best things that happened to him. The warm sensation in his stomach, the heat creeping up his cheeks.

You pulled away for air with a smile, in front of you Sirius, as happy as you were. His forehead fell against yours, and even with all the euphoria from the previous kiss, one question burned his lips.

“Are you mine?” he whispered

Your smile widened, and you touched your nose with his before pulling him into a second kiss. This one was quicker, you needed to answer.

“I’m yours”

Lmao np <33 I always enjoy drawing Yandere's as pathetic lil meow meows hehe (funfact: I actually drew Rory first but after I finished his lineart I was like, wait shit I don't have a full color reference- and then I hyperfocused on drawing jay instead lol)

Also, you 🤝 me: jayce + jack o' lanterns = stonks ✅ ✅ ✅

Also also, ngl if Darling were self-aware she'd def hate me, because I always try to speedrun the Bad ending first lmaooo

Also^3, every time I hear baggy pants, I can't help but remember the boys I went to school with a few years ago, who wore the most ugly, most a t r o c i o u s pairs of baggy pants I have ever seen 💀💀

For Reference: https://imgur.com/a/fZsHsF7

This is what I'm talking about^^ like pls,, just sTO P-

About the blue reference, the paragraph I meant was the one about how I only liked EJ so much because of his BLUE mask 😔 young me truly set the bar too low (maybe it's because of him that I'm attracted to most fictional mad scientists/doctors with no morals now, damn this bastard 😒)

Oh, and the OG mikey myers Movie is the 1978 one! ^^

And finally about the Christian Gang /hj (every holiday Yandere of yours has/used to have strong Christian influences but these three are still considered extra Christian to me so I'm just gonna start calling em that lolololol)

Gonna be honest, when you revealed that one of them was gonna be Christmas, I immediately headcanoned him as just some guy in Christmas elf costume- thank god that's not the case though (I say, even though I know damn well that I'm still gonna draw him in that costume the nanosecond you drop a ref for him, because he's a lil skrimblo who needs to get a reality check via me shitposting him into humility)

Also ofc the twins are ginger 😒🙄 /derogatory /j okay but fr, whenever I see a fictional ginger online I'm like ....Ed Sheeran??? 😱😱 (coughcoughchildecough)

-Ren'py anon

OKAY OKAY I'LL DROP A SMIDGE OF RORY SPRITES SO U CAN COLOR IT BBG

He only wears shades outside lol

HEHEHE YES JACK O'LANTERN STONKS GO UP IN THE BRAIN CELL ACTIVITY

Eh, I mean, its always fun to get the bad ending first though. Just to see then get all angry and violent 😍 good shit tbh

MC would def hate you, but I feel like it would take a bit to get the bad bad ending yk? I don't have the obvious, good/neutral/bad choices most of the time (although there are some choices that will obviously lead to negative consequences lol)

JAYCE ONLY WEARS THE ONES IN STYLE RN NOT THOSE LMAOOOO

Though they can look good if done right, those boys at school were definitely not doing it right 💀

Now I understand the blue reference! Ugh how did I MISS IT SO BAD 😭 gosh you were going crazy abt him and the color blueeeeee

I understand how that all kick started ur obsession with fucked up men. We are one in the same 😎

Hehehe thank you for the confirmation! I will be watching Myers stand there menacingly as I look up fics of him 😍

It's so funny that you call them the Christan gang, but it's not gonna have all the significant original values and whatnot. It's just a global holiday thingy that everybody does regardless of religious background (Though I'm glad you still see their origins and acknowledge their important purpose to many other people!)

GOD HELP WHY? I ONLY WATCHED LIKE 10 MINUTES IF THAT ELF MOVIE WHEN I WAS IN 6TH GRADE DURING LUNCH? WHY WERE THEY PLAYING IT DURING LUNCH YOU ASK? BC OF CHRISTMAS OR SMTH IDK, BUT IT WAS OKAY IG

It would be very funny to see him as an elf that works at the mall as a side 😇 He needs it anyway

Regarding the Twin's, THEY HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE MAKE GINGER JOKES, SO BAD. THE MINUTE SOMEONE SAYS ANYTHING ABT ED SHEERAN AROUND THEM, THEY EITHER ZIP OUT OF THERE OR FIGHT. NO IN BETWEEN.

Typical gingers 🙄 so sensitive dude

Childe is one of the only gingers I can tolerate. If these two didnt have a life and played Genshin, they would favor Childe so much.

[mallowstep]

Hi! I'm curious about you figure out characterization, especially since you write a lot of minor characters and/or characters who don't get pov's? I don't quuuite have the time to go back through all the books so I always worry that my characterization is off (not that the Erins do much better sometimes lol)

blind confidence & the warriors wiki

i wish i was joking this is seriously how i do it.

so one thing is, i tend to write characters who i am interested in, which means i tend to have opinions on who they are. but the warriors wiki is Incredibly detailed my beloved never change! so when i need to go through Literally Every Single Fucking Living Cat Why Are There So Many for mtbnsof, i can do that!

i get a nice little overview of who's got a relationship to them and what notable things they've done! and then i take that and fucking Run.

for a tangible example, i had to figure out who troutstream, rushtail, mossyfoot, and hollowflight Were for medcat dovewing au. and i think...i think troutpaw and rushpaw are in mistystar's omen? they're actually somewhat important bc i think they eat kittypet food or something but! mistystar's omen isn't canon to this au bc i wanted mistystar to be the leader at the beginning so i didn't have to deal with the change in leadership bc it distracted from the story i was telling.

anyway.

so i have four apprentices and Very Little to go on. i know hollowflight trained in the dark forest, i know that his apprenticeship is really weirdly timed. well that's interesting. so i made him, i had him fail his warrior assessment the first time, and then. well that's a spoiler but i gave him another lil catalyst.

it's funny bc i decided he was the Oldest apprentice bc y'know the oots riverclan apprentices are just Shafted but i didn't really care about who he was at the time, and i liked the other three names better.

and for the other three...well, i decided troutstream was a good swimmer becuase -stream, and then i just. made the characters i needed to pad out the story.

so troutpaw was gonna b kind of impulsive very energetic and bouncy and friendly and a little overwhelming. but also very good at being a warrior.

i needed her to have someone to compete with, and i decided to give her rushpaw. i think there was a reason for this. maybe mistystar's omen? idk it's been a while. but so that meant rushpaw had to be also very athletic and good, as well as very good at getting under troutpaw's skin, but he also had to balance her out. he had to be calmer and a little more patient.

with those two nailed down, mossypaw would naturally gravitate to being dovepaw's friend, so i made her the cat who would make a good friend for dovepaw. admittedly all four of them are close, but well. you'll see.

anyway, mossypaw became...just kind of okay! not in a bad way, mind. she's a fun character. i love her.

but okay, none of those four have to be pov, so what do i do for that?

i mean the thing is these characters tend to be minor/background but central in a work i care about (whitestorm, thrushpelt, oakheart), or just not very background (blossomfall), so i think deadfoot is probably my best place to go since he doesn't have a ton of character in tallstar's revenge.

i Could Say i focused on who he was in that and the fact that he chose his son as a questing cat...but i'll be honest, it was blind confidence. this definitely ties back to the "who i need a character to be" but we also have a sense of deadfoot from a few appearances. we think of him as pretty stern, pretty serious, but we know as a kit he was excitable. all of this is pretty vague, the kind of stuff i get from skimming a wiki page.

e.g., what i did for spottedleaf, since i didn't really have a Sense of her. firepaw is super biased so i wanted to know who She Was, and i got that from her wiki page. same principle.

anyway, from there, well, i actively wrote his backstory (it's mere assignment), but if i just wanted to jump into ibtwicm, i would have probably written out a vague outline of his past. maybe not even have committed it to paper, but i would have had an Idea of it.

in some sense, i think part of writing background characters is accepting that they have little characterization, so you have to take something and run, or just make them whoever you want. i do a combo of them, and then once i know who they are, i stick to it. at least for the length of a fic, but usually, i try to stay consistent unless i'm trying to explore a new angle.

like unless i have good reason to, it's mere assignment is my formal and official deadfoot backstory. any deadfoot fic that's canon compliant going forward will be ima compliant unless i have Really Good Reason to.

and at some level...i think about? why do i like this character? what part of them is appealing?

i like deadfoot because he's just. there. the way he is. it's almost never mentioned. but i don't think. and i didn't know this as a kid but i did see cinderpaw and snowkit so i knew it couldn't be. it didn't seem Normal. and now having read tsr, they had a warrior retire early due to an injury like cinderpelt's.

(yeah fuck off erin stop covering your ass doing it twice doesn't fix it.)

anyway i liked that about him, so i sort of...he has two littermates, i killed 'em both. he...his relationship to rabbitkit is literally 0% developed but in my head i gave him the Tiniest reason to care about him more than the others. so he cares at least a Lil more. anyway anyway he also. i didn't want him to be super expressive i wanted him to clash with tallstar.

basically ig. i don't really care. which i know isn't Very helpful but when i'm writing a background character i can do whatever i want imo. and i do like i lean on the warriors wiki a lot.

i think one thing is! i just kind of lean a lot on who was born at the same time as who, that kind of thing, to build relationships. and uh i have made a lot of groups of ocs so i have an idea of the kind of dynamics i like to write. and that helps me when i'm building out background casts.

okay i kind of just rambled aimlessly for a while so if you want? if this wasn't helpful or you want clarification or idk thoughts on like a Specific Character or something? let me know. if not also that's okay no pressure i just. sometimes i just ramble and i'm not sure what the end result of it is.

[inkstainedfanfics]

Hello! Um, I just read on Pottermore that Leta's engaged with Theseus and I'll admit, I got a lil' pissed, hahahaha! But can I just req a small fic or maybe a drabble regarding this? And reader comforts newt, thinking he still cant move on, only to realize he was feeling down bc theseus "beat him to it again" and proposes to reader? Its kind of a weird req but i think you can do smth really magical with this!! Thanks M 💗💗

Ily you all bc after hearing the news about Theseus and Leta, one person requests heartwrenching angst while someone else wants beautiful fluff: the true duality of man. But here you are, love. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it

You approach him slowly, knot in your throat, palms sweaty with fear. You’d noticed his reaction the moment he saw the announcement: withdrawn, words short, gaze darting anywhere but at you, distant. Very, very distant, even for Newt.

So as you reach forward to lay a hand on his shoulder, you feel sick, worried. The last thing you want is to lose him, to find out that he still loves her when he’s been with you all this time.

“Newt? Are you all right?”

He’s still, only tilting his chin slightly to acknowledge your presence. The stubble on his chin scratches the back of your hand. “No.”

Your stomach drops. “Oh.”

“It’s… it’s Theseus,” he murmurs, eyes dropping.

“Oh,” you say again, throat constricting. So he loves her. You were right.

For the first time in a long time, you wish you were wrong.

“I can hardly believe him,” Newt stares at his hands, wrapped together so tight it seems they might hurt. “Not when he knew…”

You blink. Here it comes: The breakup, the I’m-still-in-love-with-someone-else speech that’s been inevitable this entire time, only held back by a thin strain of decency and hope and ignorance.

Your mouth goes dry and you feel dizzy as you draw in toward yourself, shoulders curling, lip catching between your teeth. “So, it’s true, then. You… you still love her.” You mean it as a question, but the words are flat, a statement, further proof of the hurt that’s already written across your face.

Newt jerks his chin up to meet your eyes, brows furrowed, mouth parted in surprise. “Sorry?”

“I… I know about Leta, your feelings for her. I was hoping… well, I thought…” 

You wrap your arms around yourself, nausea settling in. Oh Merlin, what a fool. What a fool you had been to think that perhaps he had thought you were better, to have thought that he’d managed to let go of the special place she held in his heart.

Newt’s on his feet in a moment, words falling out of his mouth as he rushes to your side. “No. No, no, no. That’s not what I meant, love.”

You shake your head, pushing him away with a shaky hand. “No, it’s okay. I know how hard it can be. I just… I just thought you’d gotten over her.”

“I have. Completely.”

“But you’re crying over her and Theseus and I… I…” you trail off at Newt’s response.

Newt, that blasted boy, smiles at this, eyes lighting up, body relaxing as he tilts his head. “You are being absolutely ridiculous right now, love.”

Another wave of mortification rolls over you like a wave, bringing tears to your eyes. “What?”

He steps toward you, leaving you space you aren’t sure you want or need right now. “I love you, just you. I promise.”

You wipe at the tears gathering in your eyes. “Honest?”

“Honest,” he says, tracing an X over his heart. “Dear, I would do anything for you. I absolutely adore you, and there isn’t a person or thing that will take that from me.”

“What… what are you upset about, then, if it isn’t Theseus’s engagement?”

Newt grimaces, “See, it is his engagement, but not for Leta’s sake. More for my own.”

“Why?”

He sighs, rocking back on his heels, swallowing and seeming almost… nervous? “My older brother’s a pest, always beating me to things.”

“What’d he beat you to this time? Proposing?” It’s half a joke, but when Newt just smiles in response, nervously peering up from under the mess of his red hair, your heart stops. “You’re not serious, right? He didn’t… didn’t beat you to proposing, did he?”

“That is precisely what he did, actually.”

You suck in a breath as Newt drops on one knee, “Newt…”

He smiles his crooked grin, batting away what appear to be tears in his own eyes. “I am blessed to have had this past year with you, but trust me, love, I don’t want it to ever stop. You’ve changed my life for the better, and I pray I can do the same for yours if you’ll let me.” He pauses, soaking in the moment, watching you with a look you know you can never forget, it’s so warm and gentle and clearly loving that it takes your breath away. But then, just as you’re about to answer his unasked question, Newt clears his throat and opens his mouth, not bothering to hide the tears that are now clear in his eyes. “Love,” he begins, hands shaking as he withdraws a ring from his pocket, “will you marry me?”
