December Creator of the Month: Oh-So-Youre-a-Nerd

Each month, CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers or artists, and this month’s creator of the month is @oh-so-youre-a-nerd . We're very excited because Ascindio is our very first artist to be highlighted! We hope you will enjoy learning more about them and their work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Ascindio 

More below...

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I started playing in 2016, I can't remember if I read Endless Summer or Rules of Engagement first, but I ended up deleting the app after like 2 weeks cause I couldn't stop buying diamonds 😅🤦

I re-downloaded it about, ohh idk 2 years ago?

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I joined the Fandom specifically on Tumblr and specifically for It Lives Within, which happened to come out right after I read the first two books 

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

I always try to seem cool and mysterious when I meet people irl, and then as soon as I open my mouth, I ruin it with some niche trivia or something, and they say,  “Oh, so you're a nerd.” 😂 Can't tell you how many times this exact phrase has been uttered to me. 

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

This is the first Choices related post I made 😂 I was just thinking about the concept of what if characters make terrible decisions cause they're controlled by a player who is out of diamonds lol I was going to do a whole series of them (next was going to be lotr “fly on eagles to mordor?” *30 diamonds* or “simply walk”) but got lazy lol

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

Only art. God, I  WISH  I wrote too. I've thought about trying cause I have so many ideas floating around in my head, but at the end of the day, I'd rather spend my free time drawing. 

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

For Choices, since early 2022

For other fandoms, since well, forever, but I only started posting around 2017/18

7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

Favorite Choices book is probably It Lives in the Woods. All of the characters were so interesting, I never got bored reading it, and it had an incredible twist that made sense but I still didn't see coming. 

Favorite to create for is probably Blades of Light and Shadow though because I am such a sucker for the fantasy aesthetic.

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?.

This isn't the first Choices art I made, but it IS the first I actually shared

And honestly, I DO still like it because I still remember the way I felt absolutely POSSESSED while drawing it (I hadn't drawn anything for *months*). I would definitely change the background, though. Those trees look like shit, and they're not even the correct type for the kind of forest they're in. 

9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

My favorite Choices art I've done is probably this piece. 

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

I definitely didn't expect this one to do well at all as it was so hastily drawn

And I was sad this piece didn't get more love, it was such a dope scene and I was so excited about how the sword turned out

11- If you could only draw one style or type of art for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? 

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the question right, but if I had to pick like a specific type of art, it would be digital, and I would want to do fan art. I have a hard time painting anything that I don't already have a deep connection with (so original art with no story behind it is usually a chore for me), and digital art is just so incredibly convenient and not messy and so so versatile. 

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

Because I use fiction as a way to safely process trauma/ grief/ other big emotions, each MC I make has a small part of me, whichever part I feel the need to explore at the time.

There's an amazing quote by Patrick Rothfuss that I feel explains it perfectly. 

It's from Wise Man's Fear

“These folk knew all about death. They killed their own livestock. They died from fevers, falls, or broken bones gone sour. Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.

Except for stories, of course. Tales of poisoned kings and duels and old wars were fine. They dressed death in foreign clothes and sent him far from your door. A chimney fire or the croup cough were terrifying. But Gibea’s trial or the siege of Enfast, those were different. They were like prayers, like charms muttered late at night when you were walking alone in the dark. Stories were like ha’penny amulets you bought from a peddler, just in case.”

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?

I have a very difficult time making the poses seem natural and flowing. My all time favorite art is Baroque/Renaissance style and how fluid the poses are, how soft the skin looks, how delicately it's all done. Obviously, I will always have my own style, but those are things that I so want to incorporate but never seem to get quite right, and it drives me crazy 😂

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Not really. I mean, I have a ton of unfinished work, but as soon as the window of inspiration passes, I just can't get myself to care enough about it to finish it (insert Jake the Dog, “now it's gone, and I don't care about it anymore!” )

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

I would, and have.  I typically show them whatever most rendered recent picture from my Instagram because I don't post any nsfw there and usually try to post only my prettier work for this specific reason haha. (As opposed to here, I post everything here, ain't NO ONE from real life invited to see my tumblr 😂)

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

Writers: Brandon Sanderson, for sure. He's the reason I got back into art back in 2017 ish. His stories are just so emotional they push me to create. Same with @saibug1022, there is always at least one scene from every story he shares that I desperately want to draw to try to capture the emotions. 

Artists: God, sooo many, here are just like my top 3 favorites and their instagrams.

Audra Auclair

Obsessed with her unique style, and specifically the way she draws eyelids and noses

f3lc4t

The way they draw those dripping, glowing wisps. I stare at their pieces for hours (no lie) trying to dissect them stroke by stroke to figure out how they do it.

Miho Hirano

Their art has a delicate whimsy-ness I would SELL MY SOUL to achieve 

17- Which one of your creations would you like to see a fiction written about? 

JC, this is the shit I DREAM of.

Definitely this one. 

So this is love.

This little comic means a lot to me. 

18- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

Very rarely, but I do, every so often. This is my favorite original piece.

20-  What other hobbies do you have?

Gaming, singing, walking through the Cemetary with my wee daughter, reading, that's about it 🤷

21 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

🙇

22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

I really wanted to say that I don't believe in “good” art and “bad” art (just ethical vs non-ethical). That being said, I know what it's like to hate your art, like soooo intimately. If you ever are feeling shit about your art, you can ABSOLUTELY message me (I don't care if we're mutuals or not, I don't care if we've never interacted before) and just say, “I am feeling shit about my art” and I will go through your art and tell you every specific thing I love about it and why it's wonderful. I am not joking; I am so so serious rn. 💗💗💗💗

Psy vs. Psy

I genuinely think that if they were going to bring back any psych villian, Lindsay Leikin would pose the biggest threat. She knows Shawn isn’t psychic, she has adequate motivation to target him personally, and has the skills to prove he’s a fraud and do it slyly as she is also highly skilled in deductive reasoning (she did manage to get them to the counterfeiter to begin with so she has legitimate talent). She could even orchestrate it from prison. Maybe her parole was denied again so, like, what else is she going to do? Plus, she’s kind of nuts. Faking being a psychic with the FBI is a whole other level of bold compared to a local precinct, then she met a counterfeiter and was like yes please, more crime, then killed him when he tried to run, slept with Shawn that same night, then tried to take him hostage when she got caught. Its just a shame she wasn’t a bit more charismatic or eccentric. They had her play it as a very normal girl swept into a life of crime because of a guy (probably because she was a “love interest” for Shawn) when the receipts show she was an absolute lunatic (look at her face after they found the guy she killed. This bitch is smiling).

Also, she just kinda gave up when she was caught. I wish she’d have been screaming “he’s a fraud!” as she was taken to the car or even had a heart to heart moment with Lou Diamond Phillips because she did betray him after all. Idk, i just wanted more. (But i think maybe the writers recognized this and thats how we get Declan later??)

Gus is basically siri at this point. Between the archeology, safes, online poker, the law, tennis players, space, comic books, of course pharmaceuticals, and now studies tender from all over the world- its a smaller list of what Gus doesn’t know. Gus clearly likes learning. I’m surprised he never thought of becoming a teacher or college professor, to try to pass that love of learning to the next generation. Though i guess we see he’s not that great with people surprisingly, considering he’s a successful salesman. (OH MY GOD WHAT IF THIS WHOLE TIME GUS ACTUALLY HAD LIVED UP TO HIS POTENTIAL AND BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL SPY. He knows all these things because of his job, psychs only been able to stay open because Gus can fund it from his spy job, joining psych was a good front but he was also lonely from never getting to be himself. I kid, i kid, but its a fun idea for me haha)

No fucking way shawn doesn’t know what a drill is. Henry definitely would have beat that kind of man stuff into him. The military time too. I just felt the need to point this out. its like the show itself is dissing my boy and i have to defend him lol

I love when Gus is proud and smarmy over shawns talent. Look at his face here. My boy about to prove you wrong.

And do you think Shawn is actually afraid of competition or do you think he learned at an early age from his father that he didn’t have value unless he was the best? Huh Henry, huh???(Weekend warriors “you don’t want to be a loser” comes to mind)

Henry trying some reverse psychology here. I can’t tell if its because Henry is actually concerned for Shawns safety like he said he wasn’t in the previous episode, or if he’s still taking it personally that Shawns using the gifts he “gave” him to be psychic. Probably both. We know he was really bothered by his motorcycle accident, so i wonder if he’s been kind of spiraling, and adding up all the crazy situations he’s been in. (Which, i don’t think Shawn tells him about. i think Gus calls him like a weekly report haha) I think the fact that shawns cases are becoming more dangerous he suddenly doesn’t like the idea of him being a detective, well a detective this way at least, because i think in his mind he’d be safer if he was an actual cop where he had a partner with a gun, and back up, and rules, and training. I mean we know he wouldn’t be, (look at what happens to Lassie and Juliet)

I just wanted to gif this because it’s one of my fave jokes in the episode!

Mildred to the rescue! Im not entirely sure how this worked but it did and thats what matters haha

*Appropriate reaction is appropriate*

[golbrocklovely]

it's time to finally post my bridgerton, season 3 part one review.

this is just gonna be the first two episode bc apparently idk how to write a small reaction to anything lol

obvious spoilers (to both part one and the books) if you haven't seen/read them yet

episode one - out of the shadows

before i watched this episode, i ended up seeing the spoilers for it on twitter, which tbh didn't upset me bc when i read something, it's not the same as viewing it. like i'll have an idea in my head of what's to come, but it's never quite the same as the show presents it so, i never feel like i'm spoiled by reading something ahead of time.

as for this episode, what a fantastic way to start off the season. i think overall it was well paced and flowed so quickly. there wasn't a single moment i was bored during this episode.

i guess for this whole review i'm just gonna point out things i like and dislike. keep it simple.

seeing pen in her usual get up was such a good idea to start bc then seeing her transition into her glow up… crazy. literally night and day.

colin being a cocky bastard and so full of himself made my eyes roll MULTIPLE times. but i kinda love it lol

also the idea of him getting off the boat, after months of travel, most likely smelling like actual fucking ass, only to have a bunch of ladies swooning after him is a very funny sight to think of sksks

every single moment pen and colin interact i'm eating it up. idc if it's just the briefest of glances, i'm IN LOVE.

eloise siding with and befriending cressida… i hate it with a fiery passion. something about it feels so slimy, to be friends with the person that has made your ex best friend's life a living hell. and look, i get it. pen is LW, she wrote things about eloise that "ruined her", along with other family drama that has occurred in the seasons. but my whole thing is… eloise will never be ruined. and the reason for it is bc she's a bridgerton. they never are actually ruined. they bounce back. they are one of the highest ranking families in the ton, they're rich and hot, their one daughter is a duchess, they are close with lady danbury and the queen. like???? they won't ever be ruined. unless something catastrophic happens, they will always be fine. so that's why even el being friendly with a gasp poor person didn't do anything to her withstanding. bc if it did, no one would want to court francesca. but clearly she's the diamond of the season.

and not only that, but LW has also written about pen's family, even when her family has far less withstanding. she has so much more to lose when writing of her own family's shortcomings. and on top of that, if she didn't do what she did last season, el would have been assumed to be LW and the queen would have actually fucked up that family's lives. so… while i get being upset at pen, to befriend a person that you both agreed was the absolute fucking worst just feels like a direct attack and not a "well she was the only one that was there for me"

all of colin's flirting at the garden party is both eye roll inducing and hilarious at the same time. and also a twinge bit hot lol

i LOVE how far up his own ass colin is that when he finally talks to pen, and she says "much has certainly changed in that time." he assumes she's talking about what he's wearing and he replies with "a good deal i know, but it was all the rage in paris." bro….. no one CARES about your fit.

i will say tho, the bts of the wardrobe department showing that he wore that greenish kerchief to possibly impress pen was honestly so cute. like… that man really was deeply in love with her without realizing it at all.

pen's sisters are the WORST (but so funny) and their husbands are the best. hands down.

someone pointed it out on twitter that gregory points his bow at colin, almost like he gets hit with an arrow (of love). eros and psyche come THRU

colin saying nothing about his travels to anyone strictly bc he's been told countless times no one cares, only to share them with pen…. GOD I LOVE THIS SEASON

i also really love that literally everyone who actually cares about colin sees thru his shtick. humble that man real fast lmao

controversial opinion (so i'm sorry in advance to anyone that loves francesca and her story) but god… i do not care about her whatsoever. at least in the show, it is very hard to care about her and whatever she's doing. if she had been in last season, even just in the background, maybe i would care a little bit about her. but i honestly just don't give a shit. respectfully, i don't even see how this show is gonna make it to her season in the first place, unless they start condensing seasons together.

that being said, her parts with john are absolutely adorable and i relate to wanting someone that can appreciate quiet like you can. trust and believe that. but knowing what ends up happening to him in the end, i just… can't be bothered to care or want to get attached.

also the mondrich's storyline; i think it could be more entertaining, but it feels kinda flat as of right now. maybe part two things pick up, but currently in the storyline… it's a no from me.

kate and anthony are so hot. holy shit. thank god jonny is gay bc if he wasn't i think i would spending every waking moment thirsting after him lol

pen's reveal feels weirdly… lackluster. i think the only reason i'm not wowed by it completely is just bc she looks so uncomfortable. i get why she's like that, but i kinda feel like it would have been better if she felt even just a little bit confident in herself since it's not the same citrus colors like usual, but then reality crashes back in when she has to flirt with suitors and it just goes horribly wrong.

and i hope we see her in dark green again in part two bc she looks so good in it. what a waste it will be otherwise if all we ever see her in is pastels.

colin losing his train of thought once he sees pen I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT

fran and pen's convo. i live for it. i hope we see more of them as friends in part two and later seasons. also omg pen… my poor baby. i just relate to her so much, it hurts.

i think the reason why i love debling so much, or that i think in some ways he could have been a good suitor is bc he sees pen as capable. everyone else in pen's life doubts her abilities. they don't see her as someone that could be "normal" so to speak. or really, no one else sees her as a woman other than him. at least at first. (i'll go into my explanation later in episode two)

colin being immediately concerned for pen as she runs away YES

the whole "goodnight mr. bridgerton" scene…………….. 10/10 in every way. READ HIS ASS TO FILTH PENELOPE

okay, so the one thing i actually genuinely love about this scene is that in the books, colin is always known as the charming one. and that ends up being something he hates. in this show, instead of charming, he's nice (he's also charming, don't get me wrong. but he's known as being the nice one). he's always nice. always doing something nice for someone else. always being told he's nice. so to have pen call him out and say "the one time you should have been nice, you were just like everyone else instead" god i just KNOW that shook that man to his core. which is why he comes back to her all sad and puppy dog eyed like 'pwease pen i'm swrry'

rae is a queen with her stares. props to that actress haha

colin's speech to her is basically a love confession. and then there's the one in the carriage…. and then we are also getting ANOTHER one (allegedly). i'm not gonna survive this season !!

pen/nic looks GORGEOUS in this dress. i wish she wore it in more than just this scene omg

"i'm gonna ruin lady whistledown"…. hehe yes you are

episode two - how bright the moon

i feel bad for pen every time she has to have an interaction with portia. she's so cold to her, it's so sad to see.

forgot to point it out from the previous episode, but pen losing her customer service voice with colin is honestly the funniest thing to me and also so real of her

the scene of her trying to seduce the men was the awkwardest thing i've ever seen and i literally could not watch it without skipping thru it. she's great in that scene don't get me wrong but the second hand embarrassment is just too much for me to take sksks

her sisters, while the worst, are the funniest. so props to them.

yes, the scene of him with the sex workers is gross bc it's very unlike colin. however…. my god is luke hot. please let me see more of him in roles like that, thank you very much.

also someone pointed it out that you can see his tattoo in that scene and wow you really can. they did a poor job of covering it up lol or at least a hasty one

(this is a side note too, but i could swear on my life that there is another romcom where it's a guy trying to help a girl get a date and on one of the days he tries to help he leaves to go hook up with someone else or before hand is hooking up with someone else. i know it probably exists out that but that whole sequence reminded me of something i can't remember fully)

him remembering the first time they met is adorable and i'm so happy they kept it similar to the books. but i do also love the fact that he thinks she was able to laugh things off with him bc she was charming and not bc she was totally in love with him from the second she saw him lol

the statue of eros and psyche on the table while they talk about how they met YALL AIN'T SLICK I SEE YOU

this whole scene is so flirty and cute omg i love it

i highly recommend on a rewatch to put the english audio descriptors on bc… this scene is a *chefs kiss* when it ends with "rae stares at them sourly… rae follows, casting a sharp look at colin" that queen knows what's going on sksks

him touching her back…. SCANDALOUS. literally when i first saw this i gasped

okay, so the whole part of him teaching her to flirt or whatever was what i was talking about in the previous episode. so many ppl in pen's life don't see her as capable to be a woman. to them, she's a child, navigating the world confused and with her head in the clouds. her sisters have never seen her as competition bc to them, she will be a spinster. el would have never suspected pen to want a husband bc she always assumed that they would both be old maids together, regardless of what pen wanted. colin didn't think she would be able to flirt with him or take his breath away bc he saw how she was at the park (a singular time) and "knew" that she was incapable of being a flirt, which is why he's so taken aback by her "remarkable shade of blue" comment. everyone underestimates her and never suspects her to be an actual woman, when she has been one for quite sometime.

him being stunned into silence THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT BB

parts of this episode, and really the whole of part one, were spoiled to me (thanks so much for that twitter). and i heard ppl saying that colin writes smut in his journal and i'm like… surely that's not the case. and it really wasn't, but i think so many ppl got hung up on the fact he did that and not on the fact that he literally says "yeah i'm having all this sex, but i'm lonely. there's no love here" like… what a sad boy.

colin being angry is so hot, i'm sorry. i'm toxic lol

again, audio descriptor coming in clutch "he curls his fingers inward, softly enfolding hers" BROOOOOOOOO i died when i heard that the first time omg

i love he's like "maybe we should finish this for the day. but also…….. am i gonna see you later" this guy is touch STARVED my lord lol

el caring about pen… my heart hurts

i need it to be known that luke/colin looks so much like nick/kevin jonas to me it's crazy. certain angles make him look exactly like them it's nuts.

colin "praise kink" bridgerton unlocked by just pen saying a few sweet words about his writing… same

them just giggling at a guy mourning the loss of his horse… they are sick and twisted and perfect for one another lmao

el has the loudest mouth in all the ton, my GOD

"inserts himself? inserts himself where?" will never not be funny.

jealous by nick jonas playing…. i know that's right

it's also hilarious to think that colin is literally jealous of her talking to some other guy that he did not decide she should talk to. and then hearing he's calling upon her tomorrow, the face he makes????? omg i'm DYING i love jealous men i'm sorry

angry colin twice in one episode???? fuck i'm in heaven

never did i think in my wildest dreams i'd see pen's sisters fucking their husbands sksksks

the pen and portia scene hurt a lot, imma be honest. i think what's so interesting is how similar they are to one another in a way, but how pen still has hope, while portia doesn't.

and there is one brief moment when she tries to reach out and comfort pen… god, that made me tear up the first time i saw it.

him bribing rae??? thank you sugar daddy haha

also did anyone else notice pen's little smile when he said that?? i'm LOSING IT

omg this kiss scene sent me into literal orbit holy shit

the first time i saw this scene i straight up cried bc i relate to pen so much so... that was fun lol

the emotional range this scene has is fantastic. pen's desperation and plea to colin, her finally admitting to something she truly wants and putting herself out there, and getting it back in return instead of disregarded. and the kiss?????? the score, the movement, the emotion; god an absolute 20/10 i've rewatched it countless times and never get tired of it

and colin being absolutely enamored and in love with her instantly once he kissed her??? ROMANCE IS BACK BABY

I'm 100% with you on why tf are people shocked but actually I don't think he's doing demonic things at all lol. Maybe I am weird but the desire to slash some rich people's car tires and the pranks and minor inconveniences he causes are all harmless just as the crimes he commits (stealing diamonds, helping to dig up bodies, sell some moonshine). Demonic, at least for me, would be to commit acts of cruelty or harm/hurt people and he never does any of these things (quite the opposite, he prevents them. He saves goats and kids and young women who want to off themselves). I'd call it mischief? Idk I feel that's why it's so funny and charming; he's supposed to do Evil but he's not Evil so he slashes tires, causes traffic jams, glues coins to the sidewalk, and needs to cope via drinking when he witnesses cruelty of any kind (the Spanish Inquisition in the book, Caligula in the series). And collecting souls fits perfectly into that pattern, as you said, it's what he does, it's his job, and as I said, we see he would never hurt or harm anyone - hell, even the paintballers all have miraculous escapes - so of course he wouldn't hurt any of these souls. He just collects them and then sorts them alphabetically when he stress-cleans. That's what I meant. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to woobify him because I love that side of him, I just don't think any of the things he does are bad. Just mischievous.

I hope I don't come off as rude or trolling, that's not my intention at all, I enjoy talking about these things and your blog and a few others are the only places I can do that (nobody I know irl loves Good Omens as much as I do, sadly).

Don't worry, your tone is fine!

And yeah, I agree that most of the things he does do not fit under our binary understanding of good vs. evil—which is, in part, the point the show is trying to make.

We have a demon who isn't all that good at actually being evil and an angel who is an egocentric asshole who sees humans as casualties in his games (e.g. the Ball, the fact that he "forgot" to change a gun into a water gun and someone got shot, probably killed, the dove he "accidentally" kills, the fact that he doesn't actually care about anyone except himself and is incapable of being kind without making it about himself, I could go on but you get the gist).

Crowley's understanding of and relationship with humanity is multi-faceted and built on both compassion and seeing himself reflected in them. They too got punished severely for a small mistake, kicked out of Eden, thrown into suffering, and generally are a mirror for Crowley to see himself in.

Sure, there's still a fundamental detachment because he's not human, he's an immortal celestial being, but that by itself does not change how he treats the humans around him.

His soul collection probably consists of souls freely given—he doesn't make anyone do anything, he just sweetens the available options or opens someone's eyes since I don't think every human soul he "collects" ends up in his personal collection.

Plus book!Crowley and show!Crowley are two different characters, same thing goes for Aziraphale.

On top of that, we do not actually know whether his Soul collection causes any harm to said Souls. If the alternative is hell, then spending eternity on some dude's shelf is like very mediocre purgatory, and I'd definitely choose that over being tortured.

[stormblessed95]

I'm beginning to think that Jungkook isn't running that In the Seom account anymore. At first I was like aw he's having fun, and woah he accepted a jikook shipper- that's sus, etc. I was just happy that he tried out the gamr. But now I'm wondering if maybe he was asked to post that account on his story by the company as a marketing strategy? Because it's definitely working like one. More people tried out the game, more people are sticking with the game because they feel like they're interacting and competing with JK. Idk but as more time goes on I can't help but feel that maybe this whole account is just run by some Hybe employee? I just severely doubt he's that bored + has that much time on his hands to keep leveling up every few hours. I know they're technically on break but he's still not jobless lol. Maybe I'm overthinking it? I've only seen one other person bring this up so I'm curious to see what other people think.

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 I - why would he lie?! That's his Instagram! Lol and all these ways he wants to 1) play games and 2) interact in a special way with ARMY is soooo on brand for him. Those are 2 of his favorite ways to spend his free time. Lol and let's remember that they have more control over what their schedule is looking like these days and how much free time they might have. On top of that, JK has always had a weird and not so great sleep schedule. Meaning he doesn't get enough of it. Lol

He LOVES gaming and has shared on multiple occasions how he spends his free time gaming and how he can do it for hours and how he can get really competitive about it and not want to stop until he beats it or is insanely good at it. He used to post clips of him playing overwatch. They've shared that he used to game often at the dorms with Tae or with Jin. Tae shared a story once from an old clip where you could hear him playing League with JK, Yoongi, Jin and Hobi (those being the members who spoke into the mic at least). Staying up all night to play a game, not off brand for him. Especially also considering all the armys who are busy IRL and have full time jobs who are over level 100 in the game too. PLUS considering that JK has lots of disposable income to spare to get extra hearts, blue diamonds things and anything extra he can buy to help him level up faster and spend less time waiting for things to load etc. That's gonna speed up his game time too. Examples of JK talking about gaming:

AND I don't think having army visit his island or join a club is just a marketing strategy. It's just legit JK loving spending time with ARMY. It's super on brand for him to carve out time to spend with fans. He spent hours doing Instagram Q&As in the middle of the night, not just during quarantine, but also after a performance when they still had schedules the next day too. He spent HOURS in the middle of the night on vlives with army and singing to us, on days he has to wake up for work the next day too. He spent HOURS talking until the middle of the night, just to then go and hop on a bus to go film ITS. He used to join fancafe group chats with ARMYS. In 2018 he held weekly fancafe dates with army every single Friday for a long time. Where he would create a group chat and the first X amount of people who could guess what the password was could join his GC and he would sit in there and chat with the armys for 15 to 30 minutes every single week. And in 2018 they were so booked snd busy it was insane. But he still made time to hang out with army AND still made time to work on GCFs and his own music AND go work out AND some off time gaming. And whatever else he wanted. And he did this fancafe date thing without telling the company his plans to do it at all. Lmao it was all him. Some Fancafe posts about his Friday ARMY dates:

You don't have to be jobless to spend a few hours playing a mobile game before you go to bed, or while you are eating your meals, or while being driven somewhere. He really honestly isn't leveling up that fast compared to a lot of other people I've seen to make it seem like he isn't doing ANYTHING but gaming. Lol

So I guess, I DO think it's JK. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be. And I don't think it's out of character at all for him to be doing this either. And I don't think Hybe has to worry too much about marketing it. The game was doing just fine before JK shared anything on his story about his island and his club. But you are all free to think whatever you want 😅 this is my opinion though 🤷🏻‍♀️💜

In Book 3 when Ethan wants to control us lol, do you think if MC says no… he would have, you know, gotten someone else? Because I always wondered after that chapter like if he’s being all I want to be in control and have some dom/sub sex and MC is like “no thanks” is he going to say “oh well I’ll just go to drink alone in my condo” ? which is something he could have thought of doing in the first place idk maybe I’m reading to much into PB’s nonsense BUT you guys are really good at analyzing characters so I thought of asking :) Remember, we’re talking about canon Ethan and his relationship (or lack of) with MC.

Ah. Book 3. The only redeemable thing about it was the ending. I use selective cases and moments from book 3 in my canon, but ignore everything I don't like. The original OH team didn't write that book and, as far as I'm concerned, it's canon divergent.

To answer your question, the Ethan we met in canon and spent time with for the last 2.5 years would've accepted MC's refusal and gone to Donahue's for a drink or several (it's his airlock from the stress of work, remember?). I don't see him taking his 'dark' mood home and drinking alone; it would have just made things worse as he replayed everything inside his head.

Ethan didn't want to be alone though; he wanted company. However, he can't stand inane people and doesn't appear to trust strangers. He is selective about the people he invites into his life. He invited MC into his life, not just into his work, as a friend and as a lover -- depending on how you play, it could be just as a friend, but a good one; not a colleague alone.

For something this personal, not just anyone would do. So, if MC says no, I don't see canon Ethan scrolling through his phone contact list looking for a booty call.

We know that he and MC have experimented with loving domination in the bedroom because we see evidence of it in book 3's ch1 on-call room hook-up diamond scene. However, the option is either MC dominates or asks to be dominated. It was a similar dynamic in book 2's diamond scene during the Hopeful Hearts Gala.

Until that left-field/alien moment in book 3, there's no indication that BDSM is something Ethan would be comfortable with. However, I can see MC comfortable with and more open to experimenting non-vanilla options in a safe space.

In book 2's Hopeful Hearts Gala office scene, he's hesitant about MC blindfolding him. In that book's final 30 scene in his apartment, his reaction to an ice cube/whip cream is comical. Even though it's clear he's out of his comfort zone, he finds himself 'convinced' by MC in both those scenarios.

So the book 3 situation doesn't ring true to who he is at the core. I think he was angry and stressed, but if MC had suggested they go to a gym and hit a bag, or get roaring drunk, he would have done that instead.

I can also see Ethan in canon having other coping mechanisms for stress: axe throwing, boxing, intense workouts. There's no way that man is getting through life without some outlet.

ok here’s two things I wanna make in our Minecraft world: Enderman farm !!!! I really wanna get to the end and we’re gonna need more ender pearls for that! I think we need a desert for this? But I would have to look it up lol, we might have to make another nether highway if we need to have a desert Villager Farm !!!!! I think having villagers in general would be helpful so we would need to look for a village, we could get villagers with enchantment books [esp mending which would be v helpful ] Also I wanna go netherite mining sometime, this one isint a build or w/e, we’ve been getting more diamonds so we can work on making diamond armor and tools n the such and enchant them with those books from the villagers and upgrade em to netherite

Ooo yes yes!!

I didnt know enderman farms were a thing tbh, i thought you just had to get lucky and hoped they spawned but yeah! I wanna get to the end too so were gonna need to. Im pretty sure i remember finding a desert when we were exploring one of the first times and i needed cactus for my sheep, i could be mixing up worlds but i think i know roughly where one is.

I was actually thinking about a villager farm and neatherite last time we were playing. We might need to find a new one idk but i know we also found a village or two out the way of the desert, which we could use the same neather highway(maybe with an extra stop if its far enough away?). I think it could be cool also that since we’re surrounded by so much ocean we could even make like a whole neather highway system to get to a bunch of different cool places or places with biome specific blocks we want, we just beed to mark down coords somewhere and i can do the maths to get us there.

Im Gonna be totally honest with you bestie, neatherite sounds Awesome for real, i have no idea how to get it, not even the slightest ive never gotten it used it i just know it exists. So ur gonna need to help me with that i got no idea how it works other than i think you add it onto diamond armour? But yeah sounds Awesome!

Oh also also. I was thinking with all the rails i keep nicking from mineshafts, we have a lot now, so if we got enough good from mining for the powered rails we could make minecarts places. I was thinking probably either down the mine could be cool but mainly on the neather highway. In all the worlds ive played in with my family we always end up making these long as hell minecart rails to places of down in mines and generally its the normal rails its a struggle to get because you need so much damn iron (the main reason i kept grabbing the rails, just used to it) i think it would be really cool and between the 8:1 overworld:neather block ratio and the minecart speed we could get places so fast and easy

Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you’d like to know better!

Oops late to doing this but thanks for the tag, @puella-peanut !

What book are you currently reading? I’ve been taking a fiction break and reading The Sprawl, by Jason Diamond, which is about reconsidering the bad cultural rep of suburbs. And it’s pretty good! A good amount of research and depth without being too dense, but it’s also not a book that’s pandering to a shallow shelf grab (I will never forgive The Secret Life of Groceries for how bad it was).

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year? Oif dude I’m terrible at remembering stuff like that. Did Marry Me come out this year or last year? Because that I will gladly rewatch again and again, so sue me.

What do you usually wear? During the work day it’s old jeans and work-tattered shirts since I’m a landscaper (or in winter’s case, long Johns, wool socks, jeans, undershirt, thin hoodie, thick hoodie). Outside of work, in the summer it’s usually a tucked in t-shirt and high waisted jeans, and in the winter it’s high waisted jeans and a sweater. I live in Seattle so I don’t usually get to wear my “”nicer””” East Coast stuff because god forbid someone wears a pair of slacks casually in this goddang city. (Said with affection for Seattle, but not for its odd fashion limitations).

How tall are you? About 5’2”.

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? Libra, and Keanu Reeves, maybe? Or maybe he’s just a Libra too. Idk, I truly barely keep track of celebrities unless I have to lol.

Do you go by your name or a nick-name? At my last job I went by a shortened name, partially just to try it out (it’s one of my short forms I go by at cafes or for fleeting intros as well), and partially because my boss barely attempted with my full name on day one. Don’t have a lot of fondness for my full name outside of the fact that it means a lot to my mom but it’s whatever. Most online spaces that are relatively separate from “real life” I still go by Roshon.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? Hmm not sure I had any concrete ideas on what I wanted to be when I was a kid…fleeting daydreams of geologist, chef, non-specific scientist, civil servant? Museum work when I was in high school and college. And it’s not that I didn’t become any of those things, but I think they’ve all been incorporated into who I am today and I’m not sure I’d need to be any of those things professionally to feel fulfilled. Also I love what I do now, but I highly suspect I’ll be one of those people who live a lot of different lives…restaurant work, administration, landscaping….

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one? Engaged! We’ve been together for about five and a half years. (: does that make me sound old or what lol

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at? Being patient; it’s pretty easy for me to exercise patience and take a step back on stuff. I’m bad at admitting I don’t know things, especially things related to pop culture. There are some things (like knowing actors, for example) I’m very open to admitting, but other things like familiarity with famous movies or tv shows, I’m just bad at admitting I haven’t seen them?? It’s dum. Idk why I’m so self-conscious about it.

Dogs or cats? Both, and even though I live with a dog I adore, on a shallow level I probably still favor cats more? But our dog is very dum and cute.

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year? Got back into my bullet journal this past year and was pretty pleased with my October theme. Maybe not The Favorite thing I’ve done this year but I’m old and poor with technology so this is as good as it gets. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRguKuX8/

What’s something you would like to create content for? I still have PruAus fics I want to see through one day. Not necessarily holding myself to that promise. But I’d like to. Not sure if that actually answered the question.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? Making a mini crevice garden.

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year? My previous job- really liked it when I started, and the first half year I was there, and then slogged through the winter months and thought it’d be better in summer when they get busier but it just felt worse. Not necessarily a purely them thing, I’m sure, but still.

What’s a hidden talent of yours? My German, maybe? That might be more of a ‘nobody expects the Asian kid to know any German’ kind of thing, moreso than a hidden talent. Also, half talent, since I’m still not fluent. Did decent when I was in Berlin in October, though!

Are you religious? Spiritual, maybe, religious, no. Still vaguely consider myself Unitarian, but even then it’s still more as a community/mindset thing rather than a religious structure thing.

What’s something you wish to have at this moment? A 7,5-10 gallon tank that’s in a more vertical format rather than horizontal…really itching to redo the scaping in the tank and get a few more fish. Still recovering from the holidays, though, haha. So I guess it all comes back to money, predictably.

-I picture Fiyero looking like Adam Beach or a young Graham Greene, but with curly hair. And at some points his hair is short because he had/forced to assimilate when we started attending schools outside of the Vinkus, and when he was in the Wizard’s Guard.

-the diamonds described being on Fiyero are more similar to kapemni (Lakota hourglass-looking symbol). The symbol had todo with the stars and sky, and beliefs around them. Not to say that the Arjiki =Lakota; the symbols just were very similar in my head. In the book, we get an omniscient third character reader with some of Elphaba’s inner thoughts and interpretations- it makes since she would describe the tattoos as ‘diamonds’. This isn’t meant to be appropriative, I just think that is what maguire may have been picturing. If this is disrespectful please tell me!

-the old big ice age animals exist in the non-human populated areas of Oz. Idk why I think this, but I do lol. And they are just animals, not Animals. Various groups in the west will group hunt them for food and supplies. I have this vision of mammoths in the Vinkus and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head.

-Elphaba doesn’t eat meat (or any food with animal byproduct that would require their deaths or injury) unless 1) she’s starving and it’s her only choice, or 2) someone she trusts hunted and prepared the food (aka Fiyero most likely). She doesn’t want to accidentally eat the remains of an Animal.

-traditional Ozian hunters are trained to recognize the differences between animals and Animals as to avoid accidentally murdering Animals; this became more difficult as Animals were forced to hide in plain sight posing as life stock to avoid being killed or imprisoned by the Wizard-supported forces

-Elphaba has curly hair. Fight me lol. She really didn’t know how to care for it so she always tied it back in a braid or bun. But once she left Oz, she figured out techniques with Fiyero’s help and other refugees’ help

-Elphaba and Fiyero changed their names to Fae and Yero and followed refugee paths out of Oz and into one of the neighboring countries. They received help and thanks from various refugees (human and Animal) who recognized them (but only after Elphaba explained Fiyero was never on the Wizard’s side)

-Fiyero turned back to being a human after years of research. However the ordeal left him disabled, and he had a limp and chronic pain. He jokes that his end goal was to gain her attention while she nurses him back to health.

-Elphaba can sing- this is cannon. She learned to sing due to being forced todo so for her father’s ministry. Once they left the Quaddlings region, and were back in Munchkinland and in a church, she also learned to play the organ.

-Fiyero like to draw (cannon in book). He draws a lot of Elphaba.

-Elphaba has never gotten her hair cut, and her hair became a security blanket of sorts for her. She didn’t cut it until she left Oz.

-Elphaba could do a basic braid and hair bun. Fiyero taught her how to do more complex braiding, and how to braid things into her hair (like flowers)

-Elphaba’s preferred weapon is a good ol’knife and intimidation. Fiyero prefers long distance weapons. He says it’s a self preservation tactic. Elphaba jokes that he’s just scared of her knife skills

-while they were at school, Elphaba and Fiyero were best friends. She tutored him and he encouraged her to come out of her shell. It was very common for them to team up during the Charmed Circle’s hang outs, even when Fiyero and Glinda were dating. And they would tag team play Poker and/or Euchre and wipe the table with everyone

-Fiyero is taller than Elphaba by 2 inches. By she absolutely will push him down into a chair and stand over him to assert her dominance.

-Elphaba isn’t a women but she doesn’t have the language to identify herself as anything else. (Maybe this changes once their leave Oz and she gains the language to describe herself; maybe Fiyero’s mother tongue has words for it)

-most ppl thing Elphaba’s the cat person in the relationship, but actually Fiyero is. He found this stray kitten and brought it home (post leaving Oz). It’s the only animal to prefer Fiyero over Elphaba.

-their relationship communication is 80% sarcasm and sass; they have had to work on their communication skills due to this fact. Before identifying the problem, they got in way too many fights/disagreements due to miscommunication and/or accidentally offending each other.

hey do u know how to update the choices app w the free premium choices download on it? im not logged in 😓

heya sunshine!

be gay do crimes under the cut i mean what? i love the official PB app and would never use a modded version 💛

okie, I've only ever done this with Android, idk about the process for Apple, but I imagine it's similar

DON'T UNINSTALL THE APP YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR PROGRESS!

first up, jump on the Google Play Store to check what version the official app has updated to - in this case, it's v3.0.6.

then, do a google search for a modded android package with the current version number you are after (i.e "choices 3.0.6 mod apk" or something similar.) The past few times I've gone to MODYOLO

check the mod apk listed matches the current version number, then scroll until you find the download button that actually lists a file size

you'll need to allow installation of unknown apps on your phone in your security settings (turn this back off once you are done!)

you'll likely get a security warning anyway, in my experience, it's been fine. (Though, for like 3 years, I used an old phone I wasn't worried about bricking/didn't have sensitive data on - I've never had any problems though! I just use my actual phone now lol)

you should get a push notif tracking the progress of your download - tap it once it's completed to install the new version of the mod. All things going well, it should prompt you to just update, instead of treating it as a new installation! If it doesn't, you can try delete the file you just downloaded and re-download it again? iirc that's worked for me once before.

Once you've updated, you should find everything as you left it - your progress / diamonds / completed books all saved!

hope this helps ❣

The Griefers Playing Minecraft

I decided to make a little sequel to this post after wandering around for like an hour looking for cacti (spoiler: I didn't find any) and I wanted to experience the lovelies once again. It's gonna have the same basic beginnings as the first post but I don't feel like writing it all out. I'm lazy and tired deal with it

🐇Tulsi Ain🐇

Redstone specialist. She makes every type of farm, all the grinders, and it's all so efficient. She makes me jealous cuz I can't do shit

She steals everything from the villagers lol, but she levels up the traders to their highest level. She probably traps them in boxes or something so she doesn't have to track them down all the time

She has these huge farms of animals, mainly cows, so she can get leather to make books, to make bookshelves, to make an effective enchanting table. She puts so many enchantments on her tools

She named a diamond enchanted sword Zenith...........my darling...............

She tries to capture the bunnies and make a little bunny pen. She gets mad when they keep jumping away. Slippery little fuckers

In terms of a house, she leans more to stone. Polished stone and bricks with cobblestone and mossy bricks dotted around as accents. Of course, everything is redstoned and automated

She spends a lot more time on Minecraft than she'd like to admit, but she likes it and it's fun shut up

I feel like she wouldn't mind being on some sort of roleplaying server, or somewhere she can have a job like a blacksmith and get paid in ores and live a life in a nice little village

She makes a skin that looks like her.......with the wittle bunny ears.........and her apron with a little oil stain on it, just like her real life one..................

She would make tutorials on YouTube for redstone and how to make the farms and stuff. She wants to help people learn

Baby bunny I love her so much

🗡️Elowen de Bhaldraithe🗡️

She loves fighting the monsters! She likes jumping into dark caves or the Nether or the End and just beating the shit out of all of them

She's not that good at fighting at first but shhhh no one else must know

Crossbow is her main long range weapon, it packs more of a punch than a normal bow, along with the magic arrows. Other than that, she uses an iron sword cuz it looks most like her real life swords

She defends villages from pillagers and takes over their outpost when they're all dead. Actually she just defends a village in general. Not for the villagers but for the XP and stuff. Definitely not for the villagers /src

If she does make a house of her own, which she probably won't, she'd use dark oak and spruce. Nice comfy and dark feeling, just like her :3

She tames wolves and brings them along on her journeys. She takes great care to make sure they're healthy and safe. She's sad for a week when one of them dies but will deny any relation to the stupid game you showed her

You know she's a softie at heart of course :3

She wanders around looking for loot--she fishes a lot to feed the dolphins to guide her, she looks for ruined Nether portals, she looks for the spooky mansions cuz sometimes they have loot, anything you can think of

(btw have they gotten rid of the jungle temple things cuz I haven't seen one in years and idk if it's bad luck or if they're just gone)

If she got invited to be like a town protector or a mercenary or something on a roleplay server by Tulsi or Lucan, she'll join, but she still prefers to play by herself

She'll get really focused on it and if you come in and ask her a question she'll jump and fall off the cliff face she was trying to navigate. She throws the phone at you and you don't even know what you did wrong

*sighs* cat wifey......I love her

🐯Lucan de Bhaldraithe🐯

He likes building! He likes making cool things! I like to think he has a secret eye for design so he doesn't need to look at too many tutorials to make things look cool

He audibly gasps whenever he sees a cute mob. Pandas, polar bears, foxes, the itty bitty kibby cats, bees

Listen, he's not a cottagecore kinda guy, but.....he will make a house in a flower field near a beehive because he thinks it's cool

He might try to make a little town in creative mode first and make sure it has all the supplies he needs so he can switch it to survival and live in comfort :3

He'd also play on the same roleplay server as Tulsi! He'd probably be an architect and get paid big bucks (aka stacks of emeralds) to make new buildings for people with new roles

He doesn't understand potions or redstone lol. It just doesn't click with him. He's a smart guy in general don't get me wrong but he just doesn't understand it

Ooooh and banners! He likes making cool banners and hanging them on the outside of houses and using them as waypoints and stuff. Those he does have to follow a few tutorials tho cuz it can be confusing with the layering and stuff

He loves taming animals and will not hide his sadness like Elowen does when one of his wolves dies

He'd also like the allays but when he frees them he just gives them a random item so they don't fly off and it's like...a piece of andesite and he can't figure out how to give them a new item so it never gets to do its job

He loves that you introduced him to this game cuz now he associates it with you, who he also loves! He's such a puppy please I love him--

🐮Balsam Taureau🐮

(that's not an actual last name it's just 'bull' in French)

(please give him a last name I am BEGGING)

Anyways, he's not the best at what you would consider the essentials at Minecraft. He can't make cool buildings like Lucan without a strict tutorial, he doesn't understand redstone like Tulsi does, and he gets shit on by hostile mobs cuz he tends to just run headfirst towards them (blame the bull instincts)

But you know what he is good at? Farming

He has these big sprawling farms that spread out across the plains, or he has the cool terrace farms, either way they're really cool

He grows a lot of crops and he knows all of the most efficient layouts for all the crops cuz he is the Plant Dad and that is canon

He also keeps a bunch of livestock and somehow has the best luck with the chicken eggs (even though he keeps accidentally hitting the chickens with them lol)

He tames horses and names them after the people who are important to him... white and black one named Sage....a ginger one named Lucan.....a brown one named Tulsi......he loves them all and I love him

He doesn't go mining often enough to find rare ores cuz he spends most of his time checking on his crops, so all of his tools are iron

He also won't admit it but he doesn't like going into caves.....he enters one, hears a cave noise, stops, and turns right the fuck around XD he's not about to deal with that

Really the only way he gets rare stuff is by getting paid in the server. He doesn't wanna venture out too far

Your honor he's a Good Boi who just wants to tend to his crops leave him be

[nancywheeeler]

📔📖📕?

three fandoms for the price of one!

(more) Ted Lasso:

okay, so one of my all-time favorite 90s movies is The Fully Monty and i think it would be such a fun AU for TL. the movie's themes overlap with a lot of what Ted Lasso's got going on (mental health, insecurity, father/son relationship, and how everything is wrapped up in men's relationship to their masculinity) and some of things Ted Lasso hasn't really addressed (yet) like class and sexuality. Plus stripper Ted! and the rest of our Diamond Dogs fit really well with the other characters (Beard as the best friend, Nate as the younger, insecure guy they help with his self-esteem, Higgins as the one who teaches them how to dance, Roy as the grump who is surprisingly good at dancing (definitely thanks to the yoga moms), throw Jamie in there as the hot guy lol). i could also see it as either Rebecca/Ted (she owns the club where the guys want to put on their strip show) or Trent/Ted (trent discovering what the guys are up to and sticking around to write an article about how the state of immigration affairs is so bad this poor man is putting on a strip show to get money to stay with his son; in this AU, i imagine michelle has a job in the UK). who knows if i'll ever write it but i'm thinking thoughts!

Stranger Things:

i'm going to keep the plot i've tentatively started drafting under wraps for now, but i have sent so many ST fic ideas to the graveyard over the years (rip the Will-centric ready player one AU, my beloved). a recent one that will haunt me for a while is a Station Eleven-inspired post-canon where our gang technically won the war against Vecna / the Upside Down, but it has inadvertently caused the apocalypse. while the rest of our gang has scattered across the country, trying to pick up the pieces of the world, Steve is one of the last holdouts in Hawkins. Meanwhile, Eddie has been traveling around as a wayfaring musician. idk it would be a little western-inspired because i've always loved western aesthetics in the apocalypse (stranger stumbling into town! nature running wild again! outlaws abound!). who knows what the plot would be other than finding a sense of home again. but i love that Station Eleven idea of art surviving the apocalypse and how it fosters community and i don't know!! maybe one day i'll figure out what this rambling would be about.

Dead Poets Society:

to anyone who ever subscribed to me / followed me for DPS, i am so so sorry. i wanna get back on the horse! i'm not sure if this is the plot i'll go for when i do (i once promised a Charlie POV of my good grief series and i do have some scenes of that drafted), but i have been toying with a While You Were Sleeping AU.......just thinking about Neil Perry being "in love" with Jeffrey Anderson who he has never actually spoken to. Accident happens, Jeff's in a coma, his friends and family think Neil is his fiancee, chaos ensues as Neil starts falling for Jeff's brother, Todd instead. This or my 80s The Sure Thing road trip from hell AU.......they compel me!

(Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.)

The Frozen Heart Saga book 1:

The Frosted Diamond part 1

(A/N: yes I’m doing two “bridgerton” sibling love stories at once, I’m making them intertwining in the same year in a sort of love… rhombus? Idk. anyway Loki x Elsa Anna x Kristoff in this??? Hint of Hans because I needed a Lord Berbrooke and yes I know Anna is basically Edwina and Daphne combined in this story plot wise I’m sorry LoL)

Chapter 1: Tis the Season for Elegant Ladies

Elsa stared sadly out the window as she listened to her sister rush down the hall giggling excitedly, “ELSA!!! We MUST make haste!!! We’re going to be late!!! The one who needs primping is ME!!!” She teased as she passed Elsa’s door.

Anna might be excited that she’s to marry… she has hope that love will find a way… but she doesn’t realize how important this alliance could be, Elsa thought.

The kingdom was going broke…

The mines where they mined silver had run out… and Elsa was forced to pawn her little sister as a marriage prospect to nobles of their Allies… including the big one… the Realm of Asgard itself.

As queen of Arendelle,a kingdom in Norway near where the asgardians once ruled Eons ago, she’d be preferable as a marriage candidate… but her secret… her powers that even Anna didn’t know about… that could literally kill someone. Her powers were too volatile. No one could know… the kingdom and her very life could be at stake.

They’d call her a witch… a monster.

So she was better off alone…

Her sister was the only viable option.

So she had to make sure that any suitor Anna took a fancy to was just right… she owed that to the kingdom, and to her sister… she deserved better than being stuck with a frigid distant sister for the rest of their lives.

She needed a love match.

She sighed as she heard her sister who had rushed back to her room next door to her own, as she sang cheerily to herself,

“This is only the beginning of the life that I’ll be living!!! I’m dreaming of a match for love! Just like mama and papa had done! So mama papa if you’re looking down from above”

Elsa winced as she heard her sister trip over the edge of her gown and fall to the floor.

Then she sighed in relief as Anna giggled,

“I’m marrying for love!” Anna finished, and Elsa grimaced.

She needed to find a wealthy suitor for her sister… but she also owed it to her sister to find her a love match…

How was she going to pull this off?

Meanwhile on the other side of the nine realms a very different family was getting ready for the arrival of the two sisters, as well as other hopefuls.

“Thor where is your brother?!?” Queen Frigga asked, it seemed like her beloved son was always disappearing off to some unknown corner to avoid expectations… for someone who claimed he wanted to prove himself to his surly father he sure didn’t make an effort. Or so it seemed to her… Loki confided in her a lot about how his father preferred Thor… and when he realized he wasn’t who he thought he was… it got so much worse. Because then he had a reason WHY Odin doted on their oldest son. And after Thor found a bride the previous season in a young mortal named Jane… it got worse. Because he knew his status as next in line after Thor goes away after Thor and his new wife produced an heir.

At least Hela isn’t here to put the boys in even more turmoil, Frigga thought and winced, then she looked at Thor again.

“If your brother is to be respected as prince of Asgard he must ACT like prince of Asgard and show some responsibility! Thor WHERE is he?!? He promised he’d look for a bride this year!”

Thor shrugged,

“I do not know.”

Frigga groaned.

At the other side of the palace, a pair of lovers had secreted away from the hustle and bustle, and the responsibilities and expectations.

The young woman giggled,

“Just hold me closer now! Our time is running out!”

The young prince laughed,

“Oh Wanda… you know it’s half past nine!”

“Then my love stop the time! Just put it in your pocket and lock it away!” She teased and he smiled gently,

“Wanda you know I cannot stay! My royal duties await!” He frowned sadly, then kissed her forehead,

“So I’ll see you Saturday.”

The young woman sighed,

“Okay.” And then he was gone…

Back at the throne room Frigga sighed with relief as her son approached,

“Loki where were you? We were worried you’d backed out on your promise!”

Odin humphed, and Loki grimaced,

“No of course not mother…”

The ceremony of Frigga and Odin meeting all the marriage candidates was entirely too long and boring…

Once it was finally over Loki needed to get out of the palace and clear his head,

Dark cloud started forming, a crack of Thunder, and he stroked his horse’s neck, soothing it,

“Easy boy… storm coming.”

He had been riding on his black horse in the hills outside the palace towards the woods for about twenty minutes when he was startled by a flash of white, blue and silver rushing by.

He blinked and saw a young lady taking off like a bat out of hell on her white horse.

She had the purple hood of her cape up, so he couldn’t really see what she looked like, but when she turned and looked at him in alarm because she almost ran into him not paying attention all he could see were the most beautiful big blue eyes he had ever seen in his life.

She turned back around and started going even faster down the hill towards the forest,

“Miss are you in trouble?!?”

So he did what any gentleman would do… he followed her to make sure sure she was alright.

But then he saw the small hedge towards the bottom of the hill in front of the forest.

“Ma’am be careful!” He called, but she couldn’t hear him…

She wasn’t going to stop in time!

“WHOA THERE!!!!” He yelled.

And then something amazing happened.

The horse leaped over the hedge, clearing it with ease, the young prince sighed in relief, the young lady and her horse stopped, lowered her hood, and turned and looked at the young man following her.

He was stunned…

Long blonde hair in a braid over her shoulder,

Large sapphire eyes…

The cutest little lips. Then they curled up into a proud smile, and she carried on her way.

That and her spectacular horsemanship pushed him over the edge of just being curious and concerned for this mysterious young woman.

It was then he knew he was a goner.

Little did he know their paths would cross again…

Sooner than he thought possible.

Hi lys, how are you?

angel, melody, silk, rose, film, gorgeous, diamond, valentine, parchment, oasis, sweater.

Hope you're doing great!

Hey :) I had a bunch of complex days (let's say) since leo moon but it seems I'm starting to do better now. Thank you for asking! How are you? Everything's good?

angel; is there anyone you’d do anything for? Right now I'm trying to do anything for me. I know it may sound selfish, but it's not: it's about giving me my self worth back, which is the same worth of anyone else on this planet. I am trying to focus more on how I can take care of myself and how I can make myself happy: if I am not doing this, who will? I cannot depend on others, it would be so wrong. I wanna do anything I can especially for my inner child: they deserve it so much. They deserve to experience real magic for once.

melody; favorite artists? It depends on the type of art. For example I can mention Aivazovky in painting, Erwitt in photography, maybe Nolan as a film director and Idk, there are so many good inspiring artists! It's hard to mention even just a bunch (I cannot do this in music and writing)

silk; what outfit makes you feel confident? Any type of outfit, it depends on my mood. I more commonly wear comfy clothes and shoes but I also like to occasionally dress up. It really depends on how I feel

rose; favorite flower? I'd say white flowers, especially white tulips but tbh I just saw pink roses so... yeah, those too

film; favorite movie/tv show? Since I don't know which movie to choose among my favs, I'm gonna mention one I watched recently: "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit" and it's basically about children and the shoah (it's based on a book, js).

gorgeous; what do you like in a person? Generally their heart, their mind, their passion/drive to reach their goals, seeing them experiencing what they like and makes them happy, their will to make themselves better. Everyone of us is made of different aspects/layers anyway and I think, each one of us, has at least a part of those layers that is so interesting and loving. And I like that.

diamond; favorite color? Uh.... Black and white? Grey? Blue, purple... Occasionally green. I tend to be attracted by all of these but more often to black, grey and white (especially if it's clothes/items. I rarely get anything red, pink or yellow... despite I have)

valentine; best gift you’ve ever received? This weirdo guy in the bnw pic here on the left. Actually I made the final choice (there were 3 puppies) but he was/is/will be still the best gift I ever received by all means. Thanks to my family, especially my granny.

BUT if we wanna joke a bit more around the answer to this question and talk about the unexpected (never thought I was gonna say what I'm going to say here but yeah, let life surprise you ig): these funny slippers on the right, which Idk what animals are, make a very terrible squishy sound at any step I take but I can't use to knock on doors (long story...), and make me walk about like Krusty the Clown. But are SO warm and I am appreciating them sm these days in which my feet are SO cold. Thanks brother. To be fair, there was another part of the gift (Xmas 2023) which is a Bambi wool-filled sweater that makes me look like a green dwarf with Bambi's ears when I wear it (it has a hood and it's like... oversized?), but that makes for another story.

parchment; favorite book? I haven't been reading for long now and I feel like I may always suggest the same old ones (the few titles I can remember, moreover) so... Okay, let's mention one: "The impossible lives of Greta Wells" by A. S. Greer. And "Silence: in the age of noise" by E. Kagge (so very inspiring and suggested)

oasis; dream destination? Atm, among the many other destinations I'd like to reach, I want to go see the Northern Lights in Iceland (not like right now cause it's still early but yeah...)

sweater; do you prefer loose or baggy clothes? And non-English native speaker me thought they were synonyms lol anyway I tend to prefer and wear loose/comfy clothes. I had my baggy-style period but it apparently ended long ago. Except for the Bambi-sweater. That is like... more than baggy I guess. But yeah.

Thanks a lot for sending, have a great day/night and take care<3
