#if anyone reads this and wonders why i have time for stardew and not for round 2 its literally the stress

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

ive been playing a lot of stardew valley to cope w sttess and just yesterday and the day before i found out it kinda has canon polyamory sorta.

so for ppl who dont play the game, theres heart events as ur friendship increases with each villager, lil cutscenes or sometimes gifts. Each villager has a total of 10 hearts to fill, but dateable characters cap at 8, the final two being locked behind actually dating them. You *can* date more than one character, but that's very much cheating and they will get mad.

Except - i'm sure a lot of you already knew this but I only found out recently when a friend told me - if you have a rabbit's foot in your pocket. With that item in your in your inventory ur allowed to date all of the bachelors, get all their 10 heart events and a bonus group one where they don't get mad at you. I'm not sure how the scene goes cause I never got it, but I thought it was interesting that you can do that.

The reason I said kinda sorta is you don't really get to properly discuss the relationship so it's more like the player still cheated but they don't get mad than a proper relationship, but I still think it's pretty neat, cause I've always wabted to get all 10 heart events but I didn't want to make them mad so I never tried... Also, unfortunately, you csnnot marry multiple bachelors without a mod, but I did see a few polyamory mods in nexus! Haven't downloaded one myself, cause I feel weird about dating siblings and I wouldn't know how to choose between haley and emily or maru and sebastian, I love them all dearly 💖 I also saw one that allowed you to marry a villager AND be roommates with krobus without making it romanceable (him? they? does krobus hace pronouns?) which I think is great!!

Anyway I just wanted to talk abput the rabbit's foot thing here cause I thought it was interesting! Not quite polyamory but the closest you can get to without mods.

[babiebom]

Hey!! I love ur writing for stardew so much. I was looking at ur rules & things u write for. And saw u do criminal minds ??? Like fuck yeaaaa!! I was wondering what ur headcannons would be with dating Spencer Reid? (Especially with him dating a genderfluid / nonbinary person with adhd) Thank you sm!!! Ur work is so amazing!! 😭😭😭

A/N: yeah!!! I do write for criminal minds, mainly the fic im working on is on ao3 and I’m debating on posting it here~ also thank you thank you for enjoying my writing!!!

A/N 2: B R O T H E R I WROTE THIS ENTIRE THING AND TUMBLR DIDNT SAVE IT SO NOW I HAVE TO REWRITE AND ITS GONNA BE WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL BECAUSE I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER WHAT I WROTE!!!! And I know whoever reads this (not you anon) will be like “why don’t you remember it’s your headcanons” ITS BECAUSE I FORGET JUST AS QUICKLY AS I WRITE LEAVE ME ALONE.

Tw: some cursing, adhd being portrayed by a person that doesn’t have it

Criminal Minds Masterlist

So before I get into these headcanons I do like to point out that I do not have adhd and I also identify as cis so I’m not writing this from a personal pov. Obviously I am going to try my best but I just want to warn people and say that if anything is inaccurate let me know!!

So what I know about ADHD is there is three main types

The inattentive type the hyperactive type and the combined type

And personally I feel like Spencer would know the differences in how it affects you and would behave accordingly.

But we’ll get to that in a second because either way gender-fluid or nonbinary has absolutely nothing to do with how he treats you!!

Like dude is in love with you he doesn’t care about how you identify as long as you’re happy he’s happy and he will always introduce you as his partner or significant other.

Like unless you’re feeling a certain type of way and want to be introduced in that way he is more than comfortable with everything just being neutral.

Like sometimes I think that he does go about these things in a logical way, so I feel like it could be very helpful as well as sometimes unhelpful y’know?

Like there are pros and cons to everything EVEN someone being the most understanding anyone could ever be.

The adhd can however come with self esteem issues and I know sometimes even if you’re proud of who you are and what you identify as, there will be some hard days where everything just seems hopeless.

And while I think he would do his absolute best to comfort you, he just doesn’t understand what you’re going through from a personal point of view.

He does stay with you through it and does whatever you need him to because he high key would feel awful that someone he loves feels awful.

OKAY now onto the adhd aspects

I think the differences between the three types means that there will be different ways that he handles everything.

So for the inattentive type I think he would become more conscious of everything around him that way he can help you whenever you need it.

While yes he wants to help you work on finding ways to manage the symptoms and stress he also knows that it takes TIME and that helping in this way makes everything slightly better for you.

So when you’re together and he can see you’re losing focus he either remembers everything that was said and retell them to you or try to get you to pay attention again without making it too obvious.

Like he doesn’t want you to be embarrassed and he doesn’t want the other person to feel bad or angry so he tries his best.

Or he reminds you of simple things like did you remember to place your keys in this certain place? No? Okay let’s look for them or y’know just put them there to make sure we can keep track of everything

Reminds you to eat

It honestly just seems like he’s a doting boyfriend but I feel like it would feel like much more than that

Like you’re cared for and loved

But also it depends on the type of person you are because someone doing this could also piss someone off and make them feel dumb.

I would hope that you’d be okay with it because it’s not a bad intention but I also understand that sometimes intent and impact are very different things so….

Sometimes gets his feelings hurt because he does like to go off on tangents ably things that he finds interesting and sometimes it’s hard for you to pay attention for an extended amount of time.

Knows you don’t mean it and that he’s used to it due to usually being cut off but it still sometimes hurts.

ONTO THE HYPERACTIVE TYPE

I think that this type would be more difficult for him to help with in my opinion

Like he himself has lots of things to do and has to no time to relax. So him being on the go and you being on the go is just too much.

He still wants to help but helping in this situation is difficult especially because trying to get someone to sit and relax when their mind is racing is almost impossible

Like sitting there thinking about how many things you need to do gets you more agitated and upset.

BUT I think that this type is more comical in a way with him because your conversations are just both of you going off on tangents and interrupting each other.

But it’s not offensive because both of you understand that’s just how your conversations work.

Also I think while it’s tiring for both of you there’s no one upset about both of you being gone all the time because I honestly think in this timeline you would have a job that allows you to maximize and take advantage of your adhd powers.

You understand that he’s just unavailable sometimes and he understands for you as well

I think it makes those days where you can spend all day together that much more special.

Does want to help you control it though, and if you want his help he will find ways that you can relax more because everyone needs a break once in the while.

Now with the combined type of adhd I feel like it’s more….unmanageable than the other two due to it being a combination of things working against each other and together.

Again if I’m wrong tell me (be nice though I’m trying)

And this type causes the both of you distress because he really does want to help but with everything clashing it makes it hard to be okay.

Like according to what I looked up it seems like EVERYTHING is impacted by it.

Like sleep problems, memory problems, self esteem issues, sensory issues, like damn stepping away from these headcanons are y’all ALRIGHT?

This is something that he would be like lmao I don’t know how to help you so all I can do is be here for you if you need something

Which is enough y’know

He is there when you’re breaking down, there when you’re happy. He helps you with your confidence and with loving yourself

Tries to help manage everything but in a less hands on way than the other two types.

Like with one or the other the things that are impacted are very specific things so it’s easier to help(not saying that it’s easy don’t get me wrong) but this impacts a lot more and is more general so it’s difficult

Does his best to be someone you can depend on.

I think he is very helpful with these things because of his experience with his mother

Like they’re not the same thing; adhd and schizophrenia, but like he’s used to dealing with people he loves not being in the best of mental states.

When he is not helping with everything I think in general he is a very touchy person ngl

Like he wants to be on you at all times

Not sexually and sexually like he just likes being with you.

Best guy best bf love him 💖💖💖

This is one chapter of an entire linear story! It can be read separately but is better when read as a whole. Enjoy!

❤❤❤♡♡♡♡♡

It’s Friday night again. The first Friday of the fall, actually. And where are you? Playing games with Sam, Abby, and Sebastian, of course. 

Sam and Sebastian are playing pool while you and Abigail are on the Journey of the Prairie King arcade machine. You had gotten to level four so far and are still going strong. Even though Abigail is carrying your team—video games have never really been your strong suit—the two of you still work well together. 

“Do you think I could ask you something?” you ask, slamming your finger into the button on the arcade machine to kill an approaching enemy. Sparing a glance back at the two boys, you’re relieved to see that neither of them had heard you. You only want Abigail to hear this. 

“Go right ahead,” she replies as she jerks her joystick around, dodging bullets that are swarming the two of you from all directions. She really is good at this game, you figure it would take you dozens of hours to be able to move so fluidly like that. 

“Well, I was just wondering about Sebastian,” you start. You’ve lowered your voice even more at this point, hoping that the 8-bit sounds of gunfire and the clinks of the pool balls behind you will be enough to silence your words to anyone outside of Abigail. “I’ve never really seen him show affection or anything like that, even with you guys. Is there a reason why?”

Abigail purses her lips a little, obviously thinking about how to phrase her response. “Well, Seb just isn’t the type to show how he feels. Sam and I know that he cares about us, even though he doesn’t say it. It’s just how he is.” She laughs a little. “I can’t say I understand it, but we love him anyway. Some people just aren’t comfortable with showing their emotions much.”

You nod. “Okay. I didn’t know if there was a specific reason or not, and I guess I got curious.”

“Don’t sweat it. Sebastian is certainly a different type of friend, but he’s still one of the best people I’ve ever met.” Abigail glances away from the screen for a second to look back at Sebastian. He’s watching Sam with an amused expression, smiling as his friend tries and utterly fails to hit one of his balls into the corner pocket he was aiming for. Looking at the pool table shows that Sebastian is winning by a mile. 

“He’s lucky to have you. He’s seemed a little happier since you started hanging out with us,” says Abigail. “Sam and I do care about him, but it’s nice seeing him connect with someone outside of us. He’s always been so reserved that I think you’re doing a lot of good for him.”

Your cheeks start to warm, and you suddenly feel very bashful. “I’m glad to hear you think that.”

“And you’re a great friend for us, too,” adds Abigail. She leans over and playfully bumps her shoulder against yours. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had anyone new to hang around with, and it’s great getting to know you. Plus, having another girl in the group is awesome.” She shoots you a cheerful grin and you return it. It does feel nice to know that even in a short time, you’ve had a small impact on this group. 

Unfortunately, you were looking away from the screen for too long, and the flash of “Game Over” text diverts your attention back to the arcade machine. “Ah, fuck.”

“It’s alright, we weren’t that far in yet,” you say. “Next Friday we’ll try again?”

Abigail checks her phone, frowning a little when she sees the time. “Yeah, it’s late. Next Friday though.”

You turn away from the screen and spot Sebastian, whose attention is on you. His eyes dart to the “Game Over” screen, then back to you, and he gives you a mock disappointed look, shaking his head and pursing his lips ever so slightly. However, the twinkle in his eye makes it quite difficult to take him seriously. You can’t help but giggle a little. 

~~~

The next morning, when you’re outside hoeing ground for your new crops, you’re decently surprised when you hear a knock from behind you. You look up, wiping sweat from your brow with your forearm, and see Sebastian standing over by the corner of your little house, his fist curled next to the wooden siding which is probably what he knocked on. His other hand is at his side, and he’s holding a canvas shopping bag. 

“What are you doing here?” you ask, dropping your hoe and wiping some dirt off your arms before making your way over to Sebastian. “It’s pretty early to see you out of bed, let alone outside.”

Sebastian gives you a dirty look, but then he diverts his attention to the bag at his side, reaching into it and pulling out a box. It appears that there are two or three others still in the bag. 

“I know that the beginnings of seasons are the hardest for your farm, and I figure you’ve been pretty busy trying to get your crops together and taking care of your animals, so I figured I could do you a favour and pick you up some fertilizer.” 

He… what?

You don’t know what to say, so instead, you quietly reach out and take the box of fertilizer. It isn't cheap stuff, either. He must have spent a decent amount to get it for you. 

“T-Thank you,” you say finally, realizing it’s probably what you should have said in the first place. “I’ll, um… I’ll pay you back.” 

“You don’t have to,” replies Sebastian. “It wasn’t all that much. Consider it a favour for the frozen tear you gave me.”

You had almost forgotten about the frozen tear. It had been about two months since you gave it to him, and you were honestly surprised that he still even thought about it. Did he like it that much?

“Well, again, thank you…” you say. Sebastian holds out the bag with the rest of the fertilizer and you gingerly take it, still feeling bad but also swelling with gratitude that he would do something nice for you like that. “I’ll bring you something from my first harvest if you’d like.”

“Deal.” Sebastian glances around the farm, his eyes focusing first on your crops, then on your coop and your barn, then on the mess of trees and rocks that still take up most of the lower half. You’ve managed to clear a good chunk of the land, but it’s hard to keep up with the growing weeds and trees that seem to spring up overnight. “And hey, if you ever need any help with anything here, all you need to do is ask. I’m not the strongest or anything, but I could water the plants or feed the animals if it would help you out.”

“You’re very generous,” you laugh. “But I’ll let you know. I do appreciate the offer.”

“Anytime.” You hear the sound of Sebastian’s phone ding, and when he takes it out of his pocket and looks at it, he groans. “Sorry (Y/N), I’ve got to head out. I have a project that needs finishing by tonight.” 

“No problem. Thank you again for the fertilizer.” 

“Just happy I could help.” With one final look that’s almost like a smile, Sebastian turns and heads back the way he came, out towards the town. And as you watch him go, you glow with happiness, realizing that you just saw a shining example of how Sebastian really cares for people. 

❤❤❤♡♡♡♡♡

I didn't read the whole list. 4, 9, 13, please?

ask game for fanfic writers [x]

(secret fact, I can never read too many question at a time on these long ones without pen & paper to write down my choices, or else I'll lose them by the time I go to whomever's inbox to ask them 0u0)

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?

fghsjfh if we're talking fanfic, this prize might go to a Moomins (novel canon) fic I started thinking about at least fifteen years ago. It was a direct continuation from the end of Moominvalley in November, the last in the series, following Toft as he grows up. There were a few things I was doing with it: 1. I'm fascinated with characters like him who are unique beings (Toft is ambiguously orphaned and is compared to, but not of any, canon species) who have no way of knowing what stage of life they're really in, or how long their lifespan might be. I decided what Toft's parentage was. 2. Because of what Toft is, he was then in a position to lift a curse on someone else that I believe has basis in canon. 3. Endgame polyamorous pile of creatures. As one does.

I wrote around 5000 words of this thing, and it was good, damn it. It survived the deaths of three different computers and still exists on an external hard drive in a box somewhere. I stopped writing it for the usual reasons: got stuck, lost momentum, and forgot 80% of it. :/ My brain is a sieve, and yes, the existential dread is real.

For original work, it's a tie between KM and the Nightmare Story. Both of those date back to when I was 13 years old. Walk Twice is a little younger, but I started doodling what became the main character when I was 16. The reason none of these exist yet is basically just paralysis because art is hard, writing is hard, and all of these could/should involve both, unfortunately. Also I hate being perceived. I dunno, man. Bits of all of them exist, it's just... hard.

9. in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?

I'm gonna quote the Stardew Valley creators on this one and say, Only if Studio Ghibli is interested. (But seriously, it is one of my wildest dreams for that studio to pick up the Nightmare Story. Got your flying creatures, got your bizarre magical powers that work in cryptic ways, got sentient landscapes, got kids of various species saving each other - it's got a bunch of elements Miyazaki loves, why not??) I can't say I'd ever want to see live action for any of my stuff. It's not built for it, and I wouldn't want any actors' faces stuck to anyone.

13. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you.

Uhhhhh hm, well, there is that special category of fic that springs fully-formed out of nowhere and simply works, just lets me write it in one go from start to finish. I have two of these on AO3; they are Vicious Circle and Black Tuesday.

[lilypadding]

Hii! I haven’t really been active here for some time sooo how are you? How have you been? :)

HIIII!!! honestly I haven't been very active here either, I just hop in every so often. I should go back to the time when this was my #1 social media cause that was a lot easier to digest than twitter LOL

(this ended up being longer than i thought so I added a read-more)

I've been okay generally, I feel like I'm in a bit of a transitory period in my life where I'm trying new things and attempting to get myself to chase dreams that feel very far away. I just recently got on my Summer break from school, so I'm grateful for that! I was planning on taking another summer course, but I dropped it last second because it's technically not a requirement

I posted a random scene that I've been wanting to post on AO3 because I wrote it a while ago, it's basically an AU where Nagito is a fem musician and the whole premise is that she's popular (and so is the rest of the DR cast and some others, like just generally a fame AU cause I dig the idea so much) but it hasn't gotten many interactions since it primarily involves a rare-pair. (I've been so into Taylor Swift's music and her rise to stardom, it's been a recent fixation for me so I completely blame that on that AU/snippet of a fic.)

I have SOOOO many fanfics sitting in my documents of this rare pair, like 99% of them have fem nagito, and it mainly stemmed as an "inside joke" between my partner and I but now it's like second language to us and it's this weird thing where this version of fem nagito feels more like an OC if anything, cause the more deviations you take from canon the more creative liberty you impose on them and all that. I always feel a little bit like I'm lying when I post that content, because I love writing canon Nagito and writing him as accurately as I can muster because I'd like to think I do a good job, but then I remind myself that fanfic is entirely optional and I may as well post things that feel completely unique to me and even "out of character" because what's the harm in it? most sensible people will just click off if they don't like it.

Like, I posted this fic titled "3 years different*" on AO3 which was ANOTHER rarepair AU fem-nagito thing (Like, a different AU to the musician AU one) which, again, stemmed between my partner and I and I didn't expect anyone to read it and enjoy it but I got a pretty nice comment on the second chapter that warmed my heart and made me feel like posting was slightly worth it.

and I just love the rare-pair and I love my version of fem nagito that has shifted and grown - and while it's SO much fun to kinda have a little fandom AU between my partner and i, it gets sooo lonely being the only 2 people who are a fan of this hyper specific fandom-amalgamation we created??? like I'm only touching on it lightly here but THE LORE we made runs ridiculously deep, I've considered what a video-essay on it would look like trying to cover EVERYTHING and it would be A MESSS but it's so fun

in my personal life I've just been filling my time with animal crossing, I don't know if you're anything like this but I swing between all of my previous fixations when I don't find a new one and I just ping-pong between getting really sucked into one thing to another. like, a few months ago I was OBSESSEDDD with the sims 2. before that I think it was stardew valley. Now I'm back on animal crossing. I finally have a Switch so I've been decorating my island from SCRATCH for the first time ever, it's fun but I also find myself running out of ideas so quickly so I end up running around my island aimlessly wondering what I should do. I love building on animal crossing with long-form youtube content in the back.

I also want to start doing fan edits again!! I used to be really into it in 2020 (I Wonder why with the state of the world then), but I'm trying really hard to dabble more because playing around in After Effects and making transitions is genuinely a lot of fun. I hope i get into it more consistently

I'm also looking forward to a concert that I'm going to with my partner soon! I've never been to a concert so it'll be my first! I'm excited to dress up and hopefully know the words to the band !!

IDK why I'm just rambling LOL I got so excited to see this question in my ask! You're so sweet for reaching out and asking!! How have you been?!?! I want to know!!

[enragedtiefling]

Doing a tag game for a change!

Last song: not something I've heard a million times, actually- it was "Thoughts & Prayers" by Grandson.

Currently reading: Still in the middle of Gay Bar: Why We Went Out by Jeremy Atherton Lin (nonfiction), just started Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra. And I'll be reading An Absolutely Wonderful Thing by Hank Green for a discord book club soon.

Currently watching: nothing atm- just finished binging Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, trying to get back into House and The Witcher.

Current obsession: Stardew Valley- I currently have ~550 hours in the Switch edition and like 200 of those are my current file, which I've only had for maybe 2 months. Also still Ghost, my ritual's coming up soon! And I caught up on NADDPOD, so I've been binging Sawbones at work.

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I go by Shrouded and I happen to post art on here, though, I may disappear from time to time due to work and life activities. If you have any asks or art requests; feel free to send them in! I will try my best to answer anything I can on a timely manner. Art requests I may stop taking from time to time, but asks will be kept open so I can socialize with you all! Submissions can be taken, though I am only taking texts and photos for now, please read the guidelines before sending a submission too! Pretty simple stuff. Asks are to be appropriate and respectful, do not bash anyone for any reason even if a previous asker was rude (I can completely understand why people would do this however). I want everyone to be comfortable and chill here. I also do not want drama to be stirred, if there is an issue, please privately message me so we can have a discussion I rather talk through it and understand than leave it. I also request potential triggering topics to not be discussed for the sake of others. Other then that, I hope it all isn’t too harsh and makes sense. If it doesn’t feel free to message me :)

Now let’s talk about Art requests guidelines! These guidelines are just for art requests (not for the asks or submissions). 1.) I have the right to refuse your request; If I am uncomfortable with what your request is, I will absolutely refuse it. If you are persistent and rude about me not getting to your request, I will absolutely refuse that too. Things can take time and you just have to wait your turn. That or, I will undoubtedly ignore your request when I am not taking them (These ones I may keep for later times I am taking requests however) or I will ignore it due to feeling I do not have the skill to make up such a request which I apologize in advance for that. 2.) I will only do SFW; So no nudity, sexual content, and nothing relating to fetishes.  3.) Do not take the image and claim it as yours; if you plan to repost it please leave credit! I would rather see you reblog it though from my blog.  4.) I will not answer to requests that are in comments; if you want to have an art request done, please send it through the ask box otherwise it will be ignored. If you have a more complex request or have questions please send me a private messages. 5.) I will not do anything remotely related to OC’s for now, maybe when I start doing commissions (which is frankly a question up in the air) I will do them along with character sheets. Just not now. Otherwise; sketches, basic coloring and lining, portraits and limited characters will only be accepted during these times.

For Art requests; this may be used as a base of what I will definitely accept when it comes to fandom topics (basing it off of it being appropriate and to my comfortability).  Five Night’s at Freddy’s (Current hyper-fixation), SCP: Containment breach, Bendy and the ink machine/dark revival, The Witcher (The book, games, and comic series not Netflix haven’t really looked into it), Deltarune/Undertale, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Steven Universe, The Owl House, The Wolf Among Us, Slashers, God of War...  If you have a question about what else I can do other than these topics, you can private message me. Plus with guidelines I can also help explain if there is something unanswered :D Anyway, I believe that’s it! Thank you for reading this if you did, have a wonderful day!

Call me Thaddeus or Thad. Please do not give me nicknames if we aren’t friends. He/zir pronouns only. It/it’s is preferred if we aren’t close but I have no true preference.

I am an alter in a system, if you don’t like that or are here to bitch and moan about it, I’d rather you leave now. I am a fictive introject from DC comics so I may occassionally mention it or mention source things. My role in our system & how it corelates to my source is no ones business. If I want to mention it, I will. It’s my blog. Our body is 23 and I am 20, if age is a make or break factor. I do follow back from @luvsickself.

I don’t do well with others. I don’t mesh well with most. But I do my best to at least seem approchable and civil.

You may be wondering why I made this blog at all at this point. I wanted a place to reblog posts I like, talk about my experiences within our system and maybe occassionally post my poetry. My poetry means a lot to me and I may only share some occassionally. I ask that no critisism is given on them. If they are labeled as not to reblog, respect that. My poems can be personal and it takes a lot for me to even post them. I may post abot books I am reading, Pokemon, Dead By Daylight, Stardew and Animal Crossing, DC comics, music that I enjoy, DIDOSDD posts, etc. I do post traumacore, and vent based media without tags. I will tag sui/cide, S/h, and SA posts along with any other heavy topic. If you would like to follow but need something tagged, please send me an ask or message and I will create a tag.

Here are some general tags that are not trigger tags (body horror, s/h, SA, Scopophobia, etc) or fandom tags: - #v; - vent based media. This will include traumacore - #a; - General art posts, usually not fandom based - #tpoems; - Poems I wrote - #p; - Other poetry based posts - #same - Posts I relate to - #f; - The F stands for Funny - #starboard - my favorites tag - #thad.txt - Just me talking. - #sys; - System posts - Divider Credits: X X X | Icon: X 

Basic DNI criteria, if you use slurs you can’t reclaim, you believe in “reverse racism”, you shit on people who are sexual assault survivor with hyposexual & hypersexual behavior patterns, you joke & invalidate about someone’s trauma unprovoked when it’s NOT your trauma, you mock and/or sexualize age regression, treat fictives as characters from the source that they’re from, if you believe fiction =/= reality, if you are endogenic or support endogenic systems, you belive protectors/persecutors are “evil alters” ans abusers, you use any mental illness as an excuse to be a dick or abuse others, if you’re a self proclaimed “unfriendly” person (you guys are usually abusers, so.) More can be added at any time. But you get the idea.

I know my dni seems like a lot, I would just like to avoid any conflicts. I do block at the first sign that youre a dick or if I just don’t like you much. I reserve the right to block anyone who makes me uncomfortable who rubs me wrong, sorry.  Please keep in mind I also tag / label my posts with do not reblog or do not reply to often, I ask that you please respect this. Even if you relate, even if it’s a post that says only systems can reblog, please listen to my labels. I do sometimes post vents here and I do often delete posts, vent post and other posts. I do what makes me feel safer even if in the moment it is not logical. I have BPD and very intense paranoia and act on it at times. Please be patient with me and respect my boundaries. Thank you.

i literally had no vibes for who he would main. at first i thought a brimstone main (i dunno man i have no idea) but then i thought about astra and i decided yes. why? because of stars. 

he’d totally play support characters since his sister, lumine, plays a lot of agro characters and duelists. (side note: she mains jett) they play perfectly off of each other and people always comment on how they seem to be able to read each other’s minds. 

he’s a very defensive player and is usually buying for lumine since he always seems to have credits. he either hard carries or lumine hard carries when they play, there’s no in-between. 

he also plays a lot of among us. when he and lumine are imposters, they’re almost unstoppable. lumine kills while he gains alibis and trust. the twins are probably also the ultimate codenames players. 

i can’t see aether not playing multiplayer games. he’s always playing with his sister on stream, and off stream with you, whether it be animal crossing or fireboy and watergirl (does anyone even remember that game lmao).

your relationship is very private. chat knows he has a s/o but they don’t know who it is, but ever since he went into a relationship with you, his streams started to become shorter so he could spend more time with you. his chat started asking questions about it, so he eventually told them and started spamming his emotes, asking to meet you. 

one day, you decided you wanted to meet his chat, since you had been lurking that day and wanted to try it out. meeting up with lumine, you all decided that you would play valorant with them and answer questions as you played.

after the stream, his chat would not stop asking about you. even lumine’s stream got swamped with “when is y/n coming back” or “more streams with y/n pls”. 

you eventually became a regular occurrence, and once a week you would join them with whatever they were doing. when you played right next to aether, every time either of you got a kill, the other would give them a kiss.

“ace! do i get an extra kiss?”

“alright pretty boy, here it is.”

albedo

viper main. not only does he love the playstyle, he also loves her lore and overall character style. he’s obsessed with science since he majored in science before he went into streaming. 

most of his streams are art streams and a once-weekly karaoke stream. he often draws “random people” he saw on the bus or train plus fanart and often sings “random songs” he heard on the radio. he’s really well known on twitter for his sketches and his custom emotes.

his voice is so soft and calming and his music covers are so elegant. even if you hate the song, he can make you love it. 

he plays some valorant, but he’s probably one of those animal crossing players who have the nicest islands. he also probably plays stardew valley cause it’s refreshing. he also enjoys playing games with super deep lore and interesting concepts, so he can go into that. 

his playstyle is very patient and calculating. he knows where every single teammate and enemy is going to go and plans accordingly, then waits. when playing animal crossing or stardew, he’s willing the wait the longest time for his crops to grow.

they know he has a s/o. there’s another resident house on his island and that person on the bus or train is usually the same person. his chat has mentioned it once or twice, but it’s so subtle they don’t really notice. 

when he finally answers the question, and says yes, his chat freaks out. he doesn’t get why they’re freaking out, since it’s not like it’s a secret, but they still go crazy. 

he immediately calls you from your room, and you finally meet the chat, which has to be turned on slowmode to stop the spam. they don’t really see you on stream again, but if they ask nicely, he’ll call you ever so often. 

you’ve played some games with him. you can’t play animal crossing together since you share an island, but sometimes you play codenames or among us, and you slowly become integrated into his streaming group. 

he’s sorta sad when you can’t join in cause you have to do something, but when you do, it makes his day.

“y/n! can you come in?”

“what is it bedo?”

“i just wanted to see you. and chat did too.”

“what are you drawing?”

“you.”

Part 2/3 Zhongli, Xiao

Synopsis: “A mysterious phenomenon brought you and your s/o to an unfamiliar world: Pelican Town! Without the power of Visions, the two of you begin to learn the life of what it takes to be...a farmer?”

(DOMESTIC FARM LIFE ROUND TWO)

Genre: Fluff

Others

Diluc and Kaeya

Albedo and Childe

(A/n): This was meant to be part 3 but I couldn't wait to write xiao. Plus Ive been writing Albedo for almost the whole month already Word count_2.6k

-------

Xiao

• Thrown in an unfamiliar environment puts Xiao on high alert. Instincts kick in and his hand subconciously grabs for his spear. Nothing. Not even his vision activated. Xiao's gaze darts all over before landing on your figure. He sighs in relief, you're safe, that much he can decipher as of now.

• Stripped of his power, left with only claws and teeth (if must) to protect you from any dangers, he was ansty with every little thing. 

• The villagers are so nice??? For what reason must they have to act so friendly to strangers (Xiao wonders). The Mayor even granted you two a vast farmland free of charge. 

• Shortly he realized he no longer had his karmaic debt. Xiao wasn't sure how to live his life in this state. He dedicated his entire existence to years of slaughter and suffering that it became the only thing he knew. He won't admit it of course, he'll just throw in scoffs and remarks about how mundane activities are a waste of time when in reality, he just has no clue on how to handle them.

• Thats why the first day was difficult as you both try to figure out how to plant parnsips. Deciding it was better to go with an experiment, you split the share of seeds in half and used what basic knowledge you had on farming to finish the job. Xiao on the other hand tried copying what you did….though the outcome wasn't so desirable it was a mess. (His trained hands have taught him to be on the rough side).

• He doesn't bother socializing with the townspeople even though he has no karmaic debt to worry about. Xiao thinks you're more than enough anyways so what's the point? 

• Robin is the only person who can tolerate him for obvious reasons (cough Sebastian cough) she knows exactly how to deal with his personality type. His glares don't faze her, she simply thinks its just a teenage phase of some sort. 

• Eventually they become mutuals, Xiao thinks Robin is similar to Verr Goldet in a way. Since he's the one who does the heavy labour of chopping down trees and mining stones for building upgrades, he gets a chance to visit her house quite often. He comes back with lots of recipes too.

• You find out that his adepti blood never left him. Xiao doesn't need sleep so you better believe it when he tells you the next morning that he spent the whole night watering all 300 of your crops (watering is the only process he's good at for farming). 

• Sometimes you catch him staring out of the window, wondering what he may be thinking. Life was so much more different, almost hard to recognize. Was this real? Is it okay for it to be real, just this once? Ever since he committed his duty to Morax, Xiao didn't dream of a time when everything would be peaceful. Yet here he is, no longer a weapon but on a journey to find out what it's like to live as a normal person. 

• Spring: Every morning you find him kneeling behind the cabin with the pet cat (yes, cats seem to suit Xiao very much). He just stares at them, hesitant if he wanted to pet their fur or rub their chin. So he continues to glare intensely, scaring your cat away :(

• Whenever you wanted to attend any of the town's festivities, Xiao wouldn't even hide his distastefulness but goes with you regardless. Why do mortals consider hiding eggs and finding them a fun activity? And what kind of a name is Flower Dance? Can't they just call it a dance?

• Though…he does like the sight of you wearing a flower crown. Xiao likes putting stuff in your hair.

Since setting foot upon this new world, time seemed to have slowed down to the point that almost everything felt like an eternity. And you didn't mind, with him by your side, you wouldn't mind if it did last forever.

The lull of the grass was the only sound Xiao could hear as he closed his eyes and rested his head on your lap. You maneuvered across his scalp in small, subtle motions, surprised with how warm he felt against the heat your palm. He stirs a little and lets out a soft breath before turning his face to lay on the side.

You were slightly intrigued by the yaksha's new demeanor. From far away, Xiao was an intimidating man, even during the first time you laid eyes him, his presence felt similar to a knife pointing at anyone who dares to come too close. But now, the face that usually held his signature annoyance melted into something you never thought you'd see as the sun rays brushed against the surface of his fair skin. You observed the way his dark eyebrows stayed in a relaxed arch. The red crescents lining right above his beautiful long lashes and the sound of soft snores through parted lips. It was hard to believe that this man was the same person who claimed to have ended a thousand lives through thousands of years.

Did he fall asleep already?

Gently moving away the strands away from his cheekbone, hovered your gaze above him and whispered, "I thought adepti don't need rest."

"Hmph," Xiao responds, though there was no harshness in his tone, "Quit trying to be difficult, I didn't tell you to stop."

The smug grin on your face only widens. You lean downward and said to his ear, "And what's the magic word~?"

Xiao sighs at your antics. You were truly pushing your luck today and he simply didn't have the patience to entertain you. Without a warning, he grabs your wrist and pulls you down, foreheads pressing until you were but a breath away. The adepti conquers, he does not plead.

• Summer: As expected, your parnsnips weren't able to grow as much. Thus, this season was going to be the one to make up for the lost profit. Xiao is very good at hunting, perhaps the best in the entire town. Though the way he catches fish is rather peculiar, said by the folks. He prefers to carve a spear made of wood and repeatedly stabs the lake until results show. Xiao dislikes the old fashioned way, he says its unproductive and it unecissarily takes too much time. 

• But as much as he scared the whole town, they were extremely grateful when he cleaned up the slime issues happening in the mines. You could say that he grew very popular since then and eventually mustered up the courage to greet him a hello whenever he passes by. 

• You nudge him to reply back. Xiao usually shoots you a glare but slowly, he learns the courtesy of acknowledging someone's prescence.

• Fall: You woke up to a burnt smell coming from the kitchen. Xiao just thought he would return the favour since you always worked so hard. (He was actually trying to figure out what a 'whisk' was. It was no wonder why there were eggshells in the dish!)

• You realized that Xiao was taking more initation compared to before. At night, when you thought the animals were actively jumping in the barns, the noise was actually from Xiao trying to adjust himself to the ways of tending the field. After learning what TV was, he would always switch to the channel "Livin off the land" to gain some insight. Truly, Xiao was greatful even though he knew he eventually had to return to his duties, he wanted to utilize the current days the best way he could. And what better way was it to just make you happy in return?

• Winter: This was the season to test the accumulation of Xiao's abilities: you caught a cold and he had to manage everything in his own. Xiao scolded you for not wearing enough and being too careless but at the same he considered that you must've been working too hard.

• Goes to Robin for help. She basically became his mom now. Prepares the food and leaves them in the fridge, she teaches Xiao how to use the phone in case he needed any help and also lets him know where all the essentials are. 

• Xiao stayed by your side the whole time even though you told him you'd be fine. But he refuses, he may no longer be a gaurdian but he was your gaurdian. That role never changed.

~~x~~

Zhongli

• You wake up on a soft bed with Zhongli sitting at a chair nearby. He hands you a cup of brewed water but you're still blatlantly confused. Seems like everything was taken care of by Zhongli, it ends up with him explaining everything to you. 

• The folks instantly assumes you both as a married couple. Who could blame them? He did carry your unconcious body all the way to town while asking for a local doctor. You can bet that the ladies wish they were you at that moment. Zhongli took care of everything, including with the contract with the new farm.

• It didn't take long for you both to adjust to the new lifestyle. Zhongli's accumulated knowledge was enough to last all four seasons. Days past by peacefully as you shared the tasks. He'd place down the stone paths towards the gate and you busied yourself with decorating the house. After that was done, Zhongli would rest upon the rocking chair outside your door (like the grandpa he is) and sometimes you'd join him in one reading session. His voice was soothing, you eventually dipped into a slumber as the evening grew colder. Just like always, your beloved brings his arm to encapsulate you from the wind, brushing his thumb against your skin subconciously while you snore softly into his shoulder.

• In a way, the townsfolk were right. You both do act like a married couple. It's basically domestic life with Zhongli in a nutshell.

• He gets connected with Gunther and lands a role in the Museum. Since he's there so often, Zhongli also manages to be acquainted with Elliot as well. Two men who have a common interest with books while speaking in poetic prose. Their conversation would last for hours to the point Gunther had to kick them out of the library!

• Veeeery good with the children, not in an entertaining way but its just the aura he reeks. Penny usually had trouble dealing with Vincent since he never seems to be able to focus but the minute Zhongli speaks, he's all ears. Not only that he was also very good with the elderly. He even recommended some herbs George could take to soothe his back issues.

• Problem is that he still forgets to bring his wallet and Childe isn't here to save him. So once you stepped foot into the Stardrop Saloon and Gus calls you over, he tells you about the cost he owed to his tab….

• But this tranquil life full of genuinity and deprived of sovereignty, he was overjoyed to be able to spend it with you. Because he knew you were unlike him, that all humans were born with an expiry date. He knew so well that after every new greeting, he would have to face the goodbyes over and over until the world eventually came to an end. He knew you were also going to be part of those many goodbyes while he would still be here.

• But as Zhongli walks amongst the fallen leaves, he remembered the beauty that carries within every new beginning. They brought him to you and he would never hesitate to trade his gnosis for it.

Spring: You shot up your bed when Zhongli blast the TV at full volume. He apologizes, saying that he was simply trying to change the channel. You figured it was best for him to go outside before he somehow glitches the screen until it couldn't repair itself (Robin charges for repairs).

• Every thursday you both go to Pierre's store to complete your grocery shopping. He offers to push the cart as you fill the basket with all the necessities (plus it saves you the trouble of having him tossing whatever he sees without looking at the price tag).

• Every afternoon you order a take out from the Saloon, sharing the meal while sitting at the fountain's edge near the community center. Every evening Zhongli would take you to explore the rest of the vast farmland, discovering places you weren't even aware of. It was no wonder why everyone thought you were a married couple. 

• Summer: Since the cabin was too small for a bathroom, you guys would have to travel up the mountains in order to get to the Spa house (cue sweatiness x10). 

• The concept of hotsprings was derived from Inazuma so it was no surprise that Liyue eventually took it after him. Zhongli had collected some incense from foraging items over the past few months, he knows whats up. But overall he gives the best bath sessions (hands down) and you were the one who insisted in joining him.  He was a gentle and sweet lover, always putting your needs before his. Ancient artifacts and old history books have always been precious to him, he treated you no differently.

The heartbeat of the oceans continues to rock back and forth until they brush up on the sandy shore, washing away the two pairs of footprints left behind by a man and a woman.

Gold against gold, his amber eyes reflected against the scenery. Millions of lights flashed among the sea when the sun began to climb down from the sky, it's rays hugged across the valley like an ethereal glow bestowed by the heavens as summer's wind brought even more warmth than what he had currently felt. You trance ahead of with the same light shaping around your form. 

"Oh hey there's another rainbow shell," you waved at him before running off, "I'll be back!"

How is it that you still continue to shine like gold in his memories?

Zhongli suddenly ponders at the chapters laying ahead of him. He spent so many years turning each page without ever reaching a conclusion, forever searching the fabled happy endings written in fairytale books, but he knew his immortality wouldn't grant him that wish.

Thus, the formal archon raised his pen and reweaves his own story. He envisions his future with you by his side, engraving every detail until it was immortalized in his memories.

Perhaps I shouldn't keep her waiting.

With a renewed resolve, Zhongli clutches the gemstone tightly in his palm, he seals the page with the final contract between your future and his.

• Fall: After getting your first house upgrade, it was time for the next event: the ceremony. Yes, Zhongli would only have a wedding if Liyue traditions were involved. Everyone was invited of course, they were quite intrigued with the flashy setup such as lanterns and fireworks (you were a little worried with where he got the budget for such items) and Zhongli even educated Gus about some recipes he can use for the Saloon.

• You found out that Zhongli was saving all his money for this day (it was no wonder that he couldn't pay for his tab!). Old habits die hard, it was a shame that he didn't have his powers to craft the right items, but at least he got to sea you in a traditional eastern dress (it's the part he was looming forward to the most).

• Fall is the best season. One you wouldn't forget.

• Winter: Ah he finally learns how to use  technology after three seasons. He only knows two channels from the TV which was 'Livin off the Land' and the weather channel. Zhongli oftens talks to himself as he tries to figure out more mechanics, he seems to be extremely absorbed in the most basic things.

• The miner of the house. But instead of using them to upgrade tools and donating them to the museum, Zhongli likes to keep some of them for collection. You could say your house also had a little museum in the other room.

• Romcom movies and soap operas. You can't change my mind that this is what you both spend your time watching as the snowstorm rages outside.

HC: And There Was Only One Bed (Affectionate) [pt. 2]

(Zzzzzzz…..)

(Alright, second part done :V Not much to say here for now, but I hope you’re excited for the upcoming part to come out next ^^ And my ask box is always open, so feel free to drop in and chat any time! I’ll be seeing you :D)

Basic sleeping hcs with ya boys, and for a part two, outside home life? You’ll see what I mean lol 

Characters: Quackity, George, Badboyhalo.

Warnings: Nightmares in Quackity’s part, but besides that we’re clean <3

Song Recommendation: Metamodernity- Vansire

Up Next- Sapnap, Philza, Fundy, Schlatt. 

Enjoy your day guys! I do hope it be rockin :]

Quackity:

Quackity is one floppy motherfucker. You fall asleep with him spooning you, head nestled between your shoulder blades, hands holding yours in front of your middle, legs entangled, the whole shi-bang, but wake up with him starfishing half on the mattress at a weird angle that makes his neck sore for the rest of the day.

Each day is a new position for you to add to your ammunition of teasing against him, but he takes it in stride. He totally doesn’t wake you up halfway through the night by flinging himself over your middle, ‘asleep’ and snoring like a freight train. When you give up halfway through trying to stop him breathing and just fall asleep lying on his chest, he turns to mush and gets distracted playing with your hair. You don’t know why he seems so exhausted the next morning, and he only giggles dreamily at you when you ask.

While he’ll be the big spoon for as long as you want him to, there’s a special soft place in his heart for being the little spoon. Hold him, please. Pull him to your chest and gently run your fingers through his hair, rub his back and kiss every inch of his face until he’s down for the count. The easiest way to make him feel better after a bad day or an argument is to let him know you want him and love him. Just holding him at night guarantees that he’ll bring you a present the next day (like the inner stardew valley house husband he sometimes longs to be lmao).

It’s a 50/50 chance of waking up with Quackity or after him, seeing as he prefers to get up early to enjoy the quiet mornings before the rest of the smp wakes up. He gets ready, makes the both of you coffee (or tea, something to help wake you up), and watches the sky change color while he waits for you to come sit with him in the kitchen. The two of you try your best to assure a moment together before you go about your separate ways, sitting together and talking about what you have planned or what you might have for dinner later. It’s his favorite part of the day, aside from coming back home to your awaiting arms.

Another citrus-y smelling fellow. More orange than lemon, he bathes in the morning after he wakes up. You typically wake up right after he gets finished washing up, walking into the bathroom to hear him quietly humming while drying off his hair and wings. He’ll give you a small guilty grin and a good smooch on your forehead as an apology.

Another poor fellow with nightmares;; They’re a lot less frequent than they used to be now that you’ve gotten together (having someone to talk to and work through each others issues does WONDERS apparently) but when they hit, they hit him hard. You wake up from him twisting and turning right before he wakes up in tears. He doesn’t like to be touched afterwards, drawn in on himself and facing away from you, hiding his crying. When you leave to get him a glass of water and come back, he’s more grounded, crawling into your arms and accepting the drink gratefully. With his forehead pressed to your throat, taking small sips from his cup, he’ll tell you what his dream was about. Sometimes it’s Technoblade, sometimes Dream, mostly Schlatt though. His ex lingers on his mind more than he likes to admit, a deep sense of abandonment showing through his nightmares. Quackity struggles with sleeping for a few days after, afraid of what he might see when he closes his eyes again.

(You’ve fallen back asleep by now, hand paused in its ministrations and resting snugly in his hair. Things are warm and quiet and soft, and he feels safe again. 

The nightmare still hovers fuzzily in the back of his mind, but for now he can ignore it, focusing on your slow breathing as it lulls him back to sleep. 

His last thought before finally letting himself rest is how much he loves you, giving you one last squeeze in his tight embrace before relaxing into a much more stable slumber. ‘Gracias por todo mi amor.’)

George:

Impeccable skill of just falling asleep wherever and whenever. Before the two of you got close and started sharing a bed together, he really left his sleep schedule up to fate. He’d find a comfy spot and crash there for a few hours till he was awoken and would just repeat that a few hours later. Now that he has you, he makes more of an effort to stay awake during the day so he can sleep through the night next to your side. It more or less works, but occasionally he’ll have slept during the day and he wakes up in the middle of the night. As “punishment”, he sentences himself to waiting it out instead of getting up to do something because he truly wants to keep going to bed with you.

Not big on contact, likes having his space when he’s sleeping. Cuddling is nice every once in a while, but he prefers being able to breathe a little bit when falling asleep. He does, however, actively make the choice to hold your hand while he slips into slumberville. His grip isn’t too strong, nor is it very light, but a gentle mix between the two to try and remind you how much he loves you. You’ll wake up before him and his hand will still be holding yours, pulled to his chin as he sleeps. His breath fans your knuckles slowly, face eased of any stress, absolutely content.

George bathes…… probably. I’m just kidding, he fluctuates between bathing at night or in the morning because he just goes through phases of forgetting to when the time comes. His little mushroom home doesn’t come with a bathroom, seeing as its wholly empty (please if anyone has housing information on George or like. Any character at all please inform me please i beg-), so he’s limited to getting clean at a friend’s or your house. Typically yours. He keeps all of his valuables at your place once you start letting him sleep over there, tucking his clothes into your closet or in your dresser when he thinks you aren’t looking, leaving a toothbrush and his soap in your bathroom, hanging his armor up on an empty armor stand you have tucked away, all due to his inability to straight out ask if he can live with you.

It’s not like he doesn’t want to live with you, he practically does anyways, but there’s something in him that worries that you won’t like him if you’re forced to live with him permanently. He knows it can become… a bit much when you have to be around someone 24/7, but doesn’t realize that you pretty much already are around each other 24/7 lmao.

It takes a while but eventually he settles down and over dinner suggest that maybe you two should take it to the next level. His face is flushed pink and he keeps switching which leg he has crossed, but he takes your hand and quietly asks if he could start living with you. It’s a surprisingly sweet moment, even with your confusion (thinking you already DID live together), and of course you say yes.

He looks so relieved when you accept, and is kinda like, “I know this will be a difficult process but I’m very excited to become closer with you.” and then nothing changes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(It’s on the walk home when George finally processes that he now lives with you. It feels heavy on his heart, a mix of nervousness and excitement that makes him swallow hard and tighten his fingers around yours. 

This isn’t the first time he’s spent the night at your place, nor is it the first time he’s crawled into bed with you and slept next to just because you let him, but it is his first night actually living with you. The moment feels brand new, as if it’s his first time visiting your house all over again. 

He begins to wonder if maybe this was a mistake, maybe he’s moved too fast and maybe your regretting letting him live with you already and- He takes a hurried look at your face. You look… unbothered. Happy, even. 

There’s this half hidden smile on your face that soothes his anxieties, drawing out his own fragile smile. He can’t wait to live with you.)

Bad:

Mmmmm, big man warm. A natural heat machine, no need for lots of blankets or heavier pajamas, Bad will take care of all your cold problems. Every night after you finish your shared nightly routine, you curl up in his arms, immediately becoming over come with his toasty embrace. It like when you get clothes out of the drier and just hug them to your chest, the warm, clean, smell good experience that Bad also delivers.

He’s got a pretty ingrained nightly schedule that he sticks to, and he always invites you to join him after you finish up dinner. It starts by cleaning up the house a little, washing the dishes, setting aside clothes for the next day, taking a quick bath, brushing his teeth, reading a few chapters from a new book he’s picked up, and then settling down to go to bed. He won’t push you to do it with him, but he does try to incorporate you into his routine when he can. Usually it’s just by doing something small, like reading together or massaging your shoulders, but sometimes he’ll ask you to join him when he bathes.

Bad bathes pretty often, always at night, and using a nice smelling soap that he makes himself. Like what was said above, he’ll sometimes ask you to join him when bathing. It’s not ever for any naughty means, but because he sees bathing as a very intimate and vulnerable activity for you to share. He won’t push it, understanding that it can be overwhelming to be so open, but if you do choose to join him, he’s so gentle with you. His hands are worked and calloused, but they’re soft when they run soap through your hair, his nails lightly scratching your scalp and running down the back of your neck. He practically purrs when you return the favor, giggling as your hands brush sensitive spots around his sides. Afterwards he becomes so cuddly and attached to your side, you fall asleep with him curled up on YOUR chest, trapped under him.

That being said, most nights he takes to being the big spoon. It’s more for convenience sake, seeing as he’s a good few feet taller than you are, but he also can appreciate being held and loved on after harsher days. He’s a lot like a weighted blanket, a nice heavy weight that keeps you warm and makes you feel loved <3 love this guy.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), you sometimes have.... Visitors. Bad is a hub for the homeless, bored, and nutty members of the smp. They flock to him like birds to the elderly, which means you have “children” to take care of for a day or two at a time :/. Dream and George aren’t regulars, per say, but Bad has a room set aside for either of them when they come over. To their credit, they do try to be polite when they come over, and will help in cooking dinner or cleaning up. Skeppy, however, is unlike Dream or George, in that he’s more of a third partner in your and Bad’s relationship.

Skeppy up and appears at random, no announcement, and makes himself comfortable any place where Bad is. Be it at your home or his, Skeppy eats your food, lounges on your furniture, hell, he even sleeps with you and Bad at night. You two share Bad’s chest whenever Skeppy is over. It’s so jarring at first, having to deal with having another boyfriend (because Skeppy will consider you to be apart of the thrupple after introductions), but he usually only stays for like 3 days before leaving to do whatever else he has planned. You don’t know if you should be worried or upset or what, but after a while it becomes kinda nice to have him around.

All in all Bad is great to sleep with <3

(Bad blows the lantern out on his bedside counter, shuffling under the cover beside you once the room was fully dark. You slung an arm over his chest instinctively, cuddling up into his side when his arm pulled up around your back and held you even closer. 

You shivered pleasantly when he gently pressed a kiss into your hair, becoming sleepier and sleepier with each rise and fall of his wide chest. He sighs quietly and squeezes you, murmuring softly to you as you both fell asleep. “Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well.”)

Have a good evening! Do something nice for yourself tonight. You deserve it.

[melovez]

I wanna hear what you have to say about Clint! I’ve always been p neutral towards him since he’s not an NPC I interact with often anymore and I don’t really have any strong feelings about his characterization, so hearing someone who appreciates him would be cool (esp since it seems like 90% of the fandom really hates him lol)

i think the best way to go about this for me is to counter the common arguments i see against clint? so that’s what i’ll do

my big long explanations below the cut

1. Clint is a “nice guy”

clint makes misguided comments in his first heart event, yeah. but this isn’t a prolonged trend for him. clint does not remark that he feels owed anything. clint does not remark that emily is a bitch or anything for not returning his feelings. if anything clint just yearns at his seat at the saloon until happenstance puts him and emily in the same conversation. i don’t really think he’s ever forward or creepy towards her, not canonically. at festivals when he talks to the player about her it’s him confiding in the player. is it weird? yes, of course it’s weird. but he’s not a bad person for it, he’s just painfully awkward

2. Clint is ugly

is he ugly? is he really? are you just letting your preconceived dislike of him influence how you think he looks? is it because he’s one of like 4 fat characters in this game? like maybe that’s a little harsh but what with how many people i see slim down and buff up everyone in the valley when they draw them, even characters that have clearly rounded faces and figures in their sprites, even characters that remark about their own weight like shane, i do think i’m justified in wondering if the fact that clint doesn’t fit the box of slim fit hansome young bachelor has anything to do with why people say he’s ugly.

3. Clint is stalking Emily

i think this stems from a misinterpretation of the heart event where he asks emily out on a date. hes not hiding in the bush because he wants to watch her in secret. he’s hiding in the bush because he chickened out when he was on her doorstep. he even says he just wants to leave. he wasn’t hiding there with a pair of binoculars or anything, when the player shows up it’s not long after he fled to hide.

4. Clint doesn’t deserve Emily

i see people who hate clint say this often and like… yes? did you read the note in his room where he admits he has no chance with her? like this is a matter of opinion ultimately but it’s another thing that gives me the impression people who say these things about clint never actually take the time to get to know him before they judge

5. Clint still hits on Emily after you marry her

this one i agree sucks but honestly i chalk it up to how he’s programmed. i do not think it was concernedape’s intention to make him hit on your wife. also it’s not like crushes magically go away after your crush starts dating someone else. again, i agree this is definitely uncomfortable but without an update to the game or a mod there’s no way around it

6. Emily hates Clint

i see this one in headcanons a lot and it’s just so absolutely baseless it’s clear people who hate clint are just trying to justify themselves doing so. emily never says anything bad about clint. emily seems to want to go to grampleton with him, even just as friends. i mean they’re listed as friends on the stardew wiki. i don’t know what else to say. these characters have absolutely no ill will between them canonically

Conclusion

so like. here’s what i think is happening.

first, people take a liking to emily. they do all emily’s heart events first. emily’s eight heart event makes them not like clint, and i mean of course it does, even i can admit he soured that heart event with emily. and then i think since that makes people not like clint, they go into all of his heart events already not liking him, and this leads them to misinterpret everything he does, and in turn understand him to be some antagonistic chatacter.

but he’s not. clint is really just like any other mediocre dude in this game. hell, i think shane is a WAY more unlikable character than clint is and yet i see shane fans shitting on clint like he’s worse! i seriously don’t understand it. don’t get me wrong, shane is one of my favorite bachelors, but if you ADORE shane and DESPISE clint it really makes me wonder what the difference there is.

if anyone reads this and take personal offense to it i apologize that i made you feel that way but in the end stardew valley is a game you are welcome to consume however you like. don’t like clint? don’t talk to him, then. i do not think less of you for doing so. but when i see people in the tag being like “omg there’s so little content of (very popular bachelor/bachelorette)” i die a little inside because there’s basically only three types of clint fan content. fic/art where he’s a background/side character, fic/art where he’s portrayed as a slob/asshole/nice guy/pig/idiot, or on rare occasions, fic/art where he’s shipped with emily. and i do not want to see literally any of that.

there is like 1 good clint fanartist on tumblr but i don’t wanna name drop in this post cuz i don’t wanna draw negative attention to them but i can recommend them elsewhere.

anyways that’s my defense of clint. make of it what you will

[pacifymebby]

you dont have to respond or anything but i was just wondering something abt relationships!! i havent been in a relationship for a few months now bc i always feel really guilty when i do for having celeb crushes/reading books with love interests/reading fanfiction when im in a relationship with someone (like so guilty i go into a really depressive state and have to end the relationship)and i was just wondering if anyone else gets this/ if im just feeling guilty over something i shouldnt !! this is something that has really messed with my head bc my first bf was insanely jealous and wouldnt even let me hang out with my friends so im thinking it could be because of that but i also don't know (this was when i was 14 so i've struggled with it for a few years) idk, i just wanted another opinion bc all my friends are biased bc they hated him and i've read ur posts with age gap anon and you give really good advice!!

Okay so, the boyfriend you had when you were 14...your friends aren't being biased I don't think, they are very much right to hate him. That level of jealousy and control is not good or healthy and I can see why it could have had a big impact on you that has stuck with you.

I think the way I see it right, reading a romance novel doesn't equate to cheating, finding fictional characters attractive doesn't equate to cheating. Like when romance novelists write a book, they aren't cheating.

People have always enjoyed reading and watching love stories and like erotica too. It's perfectly natural I think, to find fictional characters attractive, or famous people attractive.

I think none of that equates to cheating and certainly isn't something you should feel guilty for.

This certainly sounds to me like something you've potentially held onto and been unable to heal from in your past relationship and so now effects you really strongly. But I really don't think you should feel guilty for any of these things at all. Everyone has celebrity crushes or finds other people attractive or whatever. It's totally natural.

My pal was making jokes to me the other night about how he teases his girlfriend because she's got a big crush on Harvey from stardew Valley, like he teases her about it all the time and finds it really funny. Like in a healthy relationship these are the kinds of things you'd not feel guilty about at all and would in fact probably talk about and laugh about with your partner.

I tell B I have daddy issues for Ewan Mcgregor all the time and it's not causing issues because there's a difference between having a crush on someone or thinking someone is hot and actually loving someone.

Like mature adult relationships which are built on trust and friendship, nurture and love, are so far beyond thinking someone's hot that like, it doesn't really matter at all you know?

FIC: Adjacent Truths

Rating: M Fandom: Stardew Valley Pairing: Shane/Female Farmer, Shane & Jas Tags: Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Friendship, Pre-Relationship Word Count: 1900 Summary: Jas overheard something Shane can't take back, and it's eating him alive. The farmer notices. Also on AO3. Notes: Post-4 Heart Event—a direct sequel of it, if you will. Content warning for suicidal ideation.

When Jas had still been just a baby, Charlotte had told Shane that something changes in your brain after you have a kid. Hormones, chemicals, neurons firing, all fine-tuning, honing in on the sound of the baby's cry, making interpretations on an instinctual level. He'd panicked when Jas had started crying apparently unprovoked in his arms, but Charlotte hadn't even twitched. "She's just hungry," she'd said, with her tired-happy smile.

"She seems mad about it," Shane had said, looking down into the scrunched-up, red face, the tiny mouth open in a hiccuping wail.

"She gets that from Patrick."

But Shane wasn't, had never been, Jas's parent. By the time he'd learned to sort her hungry-crying from her tired-crying and everything else, she'd been nearly out of babyhood.

And there was no easy fix, anyway, for the way he'd made her cry this time.

She avoided him after what she'd overheard. He didn't blame her. She was a smart kid; it was a good time to cut her losses, free herself of any emotional attachment she had to him. Marnie would be a better guardian than he was, anyway. Maybe the ranch wasn’t doing all that great, but no one in the valley was, and they all managed to keep limping along somehow. Once he was gone, they'd probably be just fine, lightened by the absence of his dead weight.

But he kept hearing her. That was his brain's special talent: replaying, over and over again, the bad moments, so that he wouldn't forget how terrible he was. The sound of her sobbing echoed around in his head with the hundreds of other unpleasant things that repeated themselves there: the song he’d been using as a ringtone when he got the call about Patrick and Charlotte; the stuffed pig that Jas wouldn’t let go of that first week, the one that made the most obnoxious oinking sound; the disinterested scratch of the social worker’s pen on paper, changing the course of their lives forever.

“You want to talk about it?” Lydia asked.

Jas still went to the farm with him on Saturdays. She just didn't make conversation during the walk. The first words she spoke were to Archimedes, and then she waded into the woods, heading for the treehouse, silent.

He didn’t talk much, either, but that was how it had always been. Lydia would tell him about whatever project she was working on; she would remind him again that he could come back later for Jas instead of helping; and then, inevitably, they would get to work. Because he still wasn't enough of an ass to pawn his goddaughter off entirely on someone who hardly knew her.

It was a low bar, but it was what he could clear.

“Talk about what,” he said, and swung for the tree again. He was glad that the damn sprinkler system hadn’t had another crisis since last weekend. If Lydia had put him to that kind of fiddly work today, maybe he wouldn't have cleared that bar.

“Whatever it is,” Lydia said. She watched the tree, eyes darting between trunk and canopy, waiting for the moment it began to tip so that she could warn him out of the way. “I can’t read your mind, but obviously something’s been eating you the last few days.”

He swung the axe again. She hadn't traced his mood back to The Incident. Maybe she didn't want to bring it up if she didn't have to, or maybe other people just didn't spend as much time thinking about how much of a loser he was as he thought they did.

Sounded fake.

“I don’t know,” he said. Thud. “Maybe you’re imagining things.”

Lydia was no saint. Sometimes, just like everybody else, she got impatient. Usually it was because of the sprinklers. But those sometimes were rare, and she wasn't taking the bait today, as usual.

“Maybe,” she said amenably, and lapsed into silence again.

After a few more strikes, the tree creaked warningly. “Now,” she said, and they both hustled out of the way of the trunk. It fell slowly at first, then faster, faster, until it hit the ground thunderously right in the space they’d cleared for it.

Lydia was the mastermind, but at least Shane wasn't terrible at brute force labor.

She picked up a second axe; they both positioned themselves along the fallen tree to start chopping. She needed a fair amount of lumber to get that barn built before winter hit. It was hard for him to imagine thinking so far ahead. The farm was just overgrown enough that she could probably collect all the lumber she needed right here, instead of having to buy it. He didn't need to ask if she'd be able to afford it, if it came to that.

“But maybe I’m not,” she said, picking up the conversation after five minutes, like it’d never been dropped. “I mean, you’re cutting up this tree like it’s personally offended you, so there’s a chance. Just saying. I know you think I talk too much, but I’m a good listener.”

Shane took a deep breath. He fully intended to let out a heavy, annoyed sigh, the kind that usually sent anyone who’d dared take an interest scuttling.

But, as happened too often with Lydia, a stream of words came out instead, like he was powerless to stop them. One more thing he couldn't control.

“Take your pick,” he said, and went on dicing up the tree like it deserved the cutting. “Morris is on my ass about saying the catchphrase whenever I spot a customer.” Thwack. “Gus is on my ass about my tab, which is nowhere near as bad as Pam’s, but apparently it’s a problem when you’re not best friends.” Thwack. “Marnie is on my ass about looking for a better job, like there’s a lot of options in Pelican Town.” Thwack. “Jas won’t even look at me, let alone talk to me.”

They'd established a pleasant kind of rhythm. Lydia’s axe fell not far behind his, creating a rhythmic one-two-beat, one-two-beat.

“Jas,” Lydia said after a moment.

His axe fell out of rhythm. “What?”

“You told me to take my pick. I say Jas is the item on that list that’s really bothering you. The other stuff happens all the time.”

It was no use telling her it was just a figure of speech. It was, but at the same time, she was right. All that other stuff was background noise, compared to Jas.

He hated when she was right. Except when he didn't mind. It was always hard to tell which it was until much later, which didn't help a lot with in-the-moment reactions.

He settled for hitting the tree again.

“Why do you think she’s not talking to you?” Lydia asked, taking up the rhythm again behind him.

“You know why.” He said it to warn her off, in case she’d forgotten—but he didn’t think she had. He wasn't that lucky.

“Maybe. But tell me again.”

Lydia didn't believe in hiding things, letting them fester. She was completely fine wearing most of her bruises out in the open, cheerfully admitting that something had gone wrong and she was working on it—again, most of the time. She had a couple secret bruises that he'd poked, accidentally or intentionally.

But he was all secret bruises, or at least, he'd have liked to be. As long as he kept hanging around her, though, she'd keep digging them up to air out. The obvious solution was to stop hanging around her. He wondered, again, why he hadn't done that yet.

“She overheard something she shouldn’t have,” he said, “because someone dumped a canteen of water on me and made a scene.”

Lydia actually laughed, a little breathless, in the middle of her swing. “Oh, I see. It’s my fault.”

She was kind of refreshing, was the thing. Everyone else at The Incident had taken it so damn seriously. Granted, that was exactly two other people—Marnie and Jas—and one of them was seven, so maybe that wasn't surprising. But still. It was nice that someone had heard the thing he said and wasn’t afraid to talk about it.

“Maybe,” he said.

“I panicked,” she admitted. “Not my finest moment. I’m sorry.”

He grunted in acknowledgment. They went back to the beat, one-two, one-two. In the distance, Archimedes barked.

“So she knows you meant it,” Lydia said, after a moment.

His axe hit a little crooked, and the rhythm stuttered again. He looked up at her. She realized he'd stopped, and she stopped, too, returning the look.

It wasn't that she didn't look sad, or worried. It was just that those things seemed secondary to a kind of openness, a thoughtfulness, like she was solving some kind of puzzle. He wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing, or whether he liked it or not.

“Haven’t told her otherwise,” he said.

He expected a lecture. He gave one to himself more or less every hour. Put on a good face for Jas, or Just tell her you were having a bad day and didn’t mean it, or Tell her you’re going to be around for a good, long time, even though you don’t know, even though it might be a lie. The kid had already been through hell. He should've figured out some way, any way, to keep her from going through more by now.

He just couldn't. He didn't know why.

But she didn’t lecture. She said, “You don’t want to lie to her.” As if she understood.

He went back to his wood-chopping. “I don’t know how to lie to her.” He wished he did. That would have made this a lot easier.

But then, if he lied, she wouldn’t see the inevitable coming before it hit, which would make it all the harder for her.

Lydia went back to chopping, too. “I don’t think you need to, for what it’s worth.”

“Yeah? You got an age-appropriate way to explain wanting to die?”

Finally, she hesitated, but only for a one-two beat of the falling axes. “Not really,” she said. “But Jas has already been through a lot. She knows stuff that most kids don’t at her age. So you can tell her adjacent truths.”

“Lotta syllables.”

Finally, she gave an impatient little sigh. “I mean things like—you’re sorry that she had to hear that. That it has nothing to do with her, and doesn’t mean you don’t love her. That things are just hard for you right now.” She breathed heavily on the next swing, more exasperation than effort. “She gets that you’re grieving, too, Shane.”

Trust a person like Lydia to paint it in such nice strokes. Like his best effort, which fell far short of winning any prizes, would be sufficient to a needy little kid.

But maybe...well, saying something could always make things worse, but the idea hadn't come from him. It was a start.

“I’ll plagiarize,” he said. “Thanks.”

It seemed like she was going to let it lie there, but then she spoke up again. “Like I said, I’m a good listener, so. You need an ear, I’m here. Day or night. I mean it.”

She wasn't wrong. She was a good listener. But she had some kind of future ahead of her, still, and he'd poisoned enough people with his failures. It was out in the open now; it didn't need to be rehashed. Next time, he would keep his mouth shut.

Talk to me about writing!! How is your writing going? Anything you're working on you just want an excuse to talk about?

Ahh! Hi Mandy, this is such a lovely ask to receive and I'll happily take the excuse to rant about writing. I hope your writing is going well, I've seen all the fics you've posted in December so far and I'm so intrigued to check them out when I have a moment.

Writing is going alright. It feels like that's kind of been the vibe of the year overall. I've not been able to write as much as I did last year (granted that was an insane amount) and I've had more numb days or tired days where writing has been the last thing I've wanted to do. It's all been a combination of the ongoing pandemic, unemployment fatigue and then new job tiredness. I think I'm still adjusting to how I'm supposed to spend my days now that I'm a "real" adult.

All of that being said, writing is still a wonderful experience when I can make myself sit down and write. There's something so cathartic about it. Once I am writing, the ideas also come easier, like they line up because my brain is switched into the right frequency, it's a really lovely thing.

As usual, I'm working on too many things. I currently have four "active" works in progress that are partly posted - my phan Stardew AU Broke, Gay and New in Town, my Seventeen mafia AU 돈't Lie (at least not to me), my BTS producers AU Don't say you're okay because you're not and my phan Pokémon AU Project Poliwag. I love all of these fics but I also need to wrap the two latter ones up soon (they are only 1 or 2 chapters away from being finished) because having so many actively updating fics is getting a little much. My Stardew AU is my big baby and it has stalled a little in how easy it is to write, which is annoying but it's mostly because I end up somewhat overthinking 'cause there's still so much to go.

I have also been working on three as of yet not public fics. A Seventeen shapeshifter AU, my oldschoolphandombigbang witch/demon AU and a The Untamed journal fic. Writing all of this down, maybe that's also why my writing is all over the place. I might have taken on just a tad too many projects at once. I believe I can do it though, it'll just take time and it makes it a little hard to focus in. I always work best when I have a couple of fics to switch between but this is just over the top.

It's not like I can abandon any of them though, because they are all dear to my heart in one way or another. I think that's another cool thing about writing, how you can create the stories you'd love to read.

This was a really nice chance to just pour it all out. Thank you, Mandy <3

(Also if anyone is curious about any of my writing projects, my asks are always open, and I will happily gush and tell you whatever you want to know)

[yanderemommabean]

Hey mommabean i was reading your yandere cult post for stardew and wondered what if darling wanted to have a baby how would the cult react?

Oh my goodness Sebastian (Who ive now dubbed the cult leader on this here blog) would suggest that they make themselves worthy of planting their seed in you. No mere member can have that grace without proving their strength, wit, and determination!

Perhaps slaughtering the most slimes in the mines, or bringing you the prized jewl of a lifetime (Prismatic Shard or even a galaxy sword?) and even then he acts like it isn’t enough. No! No not just anyone can be there! He’s got to make sure it all goes according to plan so-

Why shouldn’t it be him?

Well of course if the divine entity wants to choose then he will bend to their will no question! But oh, the fantasies and the thrill as images of taking his sweet time with you clouds his judgement.

I feel he would manipulate the cult, trying to make them see him as the only worthy one (With Sam as an exception I mean he’s Sam he’s sweet sunshine BF material) The only one worthy of fathering the new children. Surely he’s meant to be the father! He’s the one who opened everyone’s eyes!

It’s his RIGHT as the leader to help you bare children!

—And if you become pregnant, the whole cult is by your side and hardly giving you any privacy. Always helping you up and out of bed, dressing you, telling you how beautiful you look and how healthy you seem. Helping with your hair, your nails, your teeth, your showering, your posture- it never ends!

Harvey and Maru are assigned to help you bathe and make dietary plans for you, Shane is assigned to help with Alex to assist you wherever you wish to wander in the woods or town, Sebastian and Sam as assigned the guardians of the home and you whenever your return, Abigail, Elliot, and Leah help you with recreational things such as art and making sure you aren’t bored, so on and so forth! Often reading to you or showing you around the ocean shores.

When you’re filled with milk they’re estatic! They all want a taste and to savor it, so they all get a day of the week to collect! Of course they do it gently but you’re praised the entire time. Oh how Elliot loves to drink your milk! It’s better than any wine! Oh the stories he could write about you and everything you are!

(Actually I’m 100% sure he writes a religious book on The farmer that becomes the towns best seller)

If the farmer wants babies they’ll have to handle much more than morning sickness and back pains that’s for sure! -Mommabean
