Come in With the Rain
Read on AO3!
Inspo piece
A/N: Nothing like a literal rainy day to write a rainy day fic because I need some way to comfort myself.
--
The sky was a concerning shade of grey as rain fell in sheets to the ground, drenching anything and everything that got in the way. The clopping of soaked shoes against the concrete barely registered over the beating of the rain on the roofs of buildings nearby, echoing around the town.
Mad panted as he ran, nose wrinkling at the dampness he could feel on his socks inside his shoes, feet splashing through puddles and soaking his pants. He wiped uselessly at the hair plastered to his forehead from the rain, hands cold and jacket soaked. He couldn’t even tell if his cheeks were wet from the rain or his tears anymore.
The storm had come on suddenly, barely giving anyone a chance to hide away as water poured from the sky. Mad had been out on one of his rare talks at the local library, not expecting the storm and becoming drenched within seconds of stepping outside. Hugging his bookbag closely to his chest, he started running, his goal being simply to get home.
--
Mare stood at the living room window, looking out into the street as he hugged his arms around himself, watching for signs of Mad returning home. For once, he hadn’t rolled his sleeves up, pulling them down to his palms to keep warm and lighting the fireplace to help warm up the house.
The kettle had long since boiled, two mugs of coffee cooling on the kitchen counter, and Mare chewed on the inside of his cheek as he let his nerves crawl through him. Inside his mind, he chided himself for not insisting he go with Mad to the event, worried Mad was huddled somewhere in a panic.
He let out a swift sigh of relief when he spotted Mad’s burgundy jacket rounding the corner of their street, head low and clothes completely drenched. Mare raced to the door, opening it and waiting for Mad to come inside before closing and locking it.
“Dearest, you’re freezing,” Mare commented as he wrapped his arms around Mad, ignoring the damp clothes making his own wet. “I’m so glad you made it home safe. Are you alright? Did the talk go well?”
“The t-talk went f-fine,” Mad answered, teeth chattering as his body struggled to adapt to the temperature change. “I s-slipped a c-couple of t-times… scraped p-palms and knees…” He held his arms out for Mare to look at, hands shaking as he held them palms-up to show off the redness from the scrapes.
“Oh, darling,” Mare breathed, lifting Mad’s hands to press his lips to the scrapes before leading him down the hall to the bathroom. “At least you made it home. Let’s get you warmed up and dried off, then I’ll tend to the scrapes. Does that sound good?” He waited until Mad nodded before moving to remove his jacket, turning on the faucet to fill the tub with warm water.
“I didn’t know it was going to rain,” Mad mumbled as Mare guided him into the bath, shivering at the warm water hitting his rain-soaked skin. “I would have brought an umbrella if I had known. Is the jacket ruined?” He raised sad eyes to Mare, lip jutting out in a small pout as Mare gently cleaned him.
“Soon as you’re out of this bath, I’ll toss it in the dryer,” Mare replied, leaning over the rim of the bath as he moved the sponge over Mad’s skin. “It’s not leather or suede, so it shouldn’t be too bad. If it is ruined, I’ll buy you a new one.”
“I really like that jacket,” Mad said quietly, looking down at his hands in his lap, leaning into Mare’s touch as Mare gently rinsed off the soap from his hair. “I like the colour, and it isn’t scratchy like other jackets.” Keeping his head low, he allowed Mare to help him out of the tub, wrapping a fluffy towel around him and slowly beginning to dry him off.
“Stand here a minute.” Mare positioned Mad to stand under the heating light in the bathroom before picking up his wet things and leaving the room. Mad stood with his face turned toward the light, basking in the warmth until Mare came back.
“Stings,” Mad hissed as Mare gently rubbed antiseptic over his scrapes, wincing when Mare held his hand a little tighter to stop him from pulling away. “The sidewalks near the library are rough, even in a rainstorm.” His comment was soft, mind too focused on watching Mare carefully clean the scrapes and dress them with a little bit of gauze.
“You’ll be fine in a day or so,” Mare stated as he finished tending the wounds, kissing Mad’s patched-up palms before lifting him and carrying him into the closet, handing him a pair of boxers and fluffy sweatpants. ��Would you like one of my cosy hoodies?” he asked with a smile, handing Mad an oversized fleece hoodie when he nodded.
--
Mare handed Mad a mug of hot coffee, sitting beside him on the couch and waiting until Mad was snuggled into his side before drinking from his own cup. The fireplace made a warm orb around the living room, blanketing Mad in warmth and comfort, and Mare watched the flush on his cheeks change from cold to warmth with a smile.
Within minutes of sitting down, Mare gently took Mad’s mug from his hand and set it on the coffee table, seeing that Mad was fast asleep with his head on Mare’s chest. Brushing his hair away from his face, Mare pressed a kiss to Mad’s temple before picking up a book and quietly starting to read.

unsolicited life update lol
i'm so exhausted,,,,,, this week was Hell actually and i'll compartmentalize my ranting into two categories: when will god kill me with lightning nd pretty ok AJDJDJJE
when will god kill me with lightning:
i JUST took an exam that i was complaining about for weeks both here and to my irl and discord friends last tuesday but i need to start studying for another one that'll kick my ass next wednesday
it's graduation season and i work part time in my university's admin office and we've been asked to take up a lot of extra hours of overtime bc of how understaffed they are with the preparations for the rites
some internal relations in the academic organization i'm leading are FUCKED and the actual person in charge of those matters is a little mia so i have to deal with it in his place on top of school and work
the weather has been craaaaaaazy lately. one minute it's raining like the universe wants to wipe my campus off the map then the next the sun is burning through the streets like it's summer all over again
I am just so physically nd mentally nd spiritually exhausted bc my day kinda looks like: PE at 8-11am, work at 11-3pm, a major class at 3-5pm, overtime at 5-8pm, studying at 8-whatever time i feel like sleeping AHDJFJJW
pretty ok:
i got the highest score in the exam that i was dreading for WEEKS but it's kinda depressing bc out of everyone taking the course, only three of us passed 😔
my seniors who just graduated are actual sweethearts and they treated everyone to karaoke and drinks until morning <3
went swimming with some classmates bc our PE professor rented the university pool area for us to use freely !!
my summer term ends next week, i really just have to get that last exam over with
well that's pretty much it LOL if you actually read all this nonesense i literally love you but i hope this explains why i'll have to put writing on hold (even tho i've alr been doing that for a while now)

IRL - went outta town
ok so I was just up in Denton for a wedding. Very nice wedding, I wore a blazer, which was so nice to do. I hardly ever have a reason to dress up. Lots of fun. there's probably a photo of my husband pretending to hit me with a chair in the reception hall lol, I hope I get to see that eventually. We couldn't hear shit in there so we resorted to mime humor. violent mime.
I had hella travel anxiety because I uhhhh I don't like to travel!! I mean I have health problems and a cat I miss when I leave and it's tornado season and uh yeah. it's 90% illogical with some little for reals things thrown in.
So I didn't sleep at all the night before we left.
Then on the way up we had to drive past a tornado warned storm. TO BE CLEAR, we were in no danger. Absolutely none. We were on i35 and the storm was out kinda northwest of Killeen. Up by Gatesville. And if you're familiar with central Texas that should give you some idea of how far away it was. The red warning box wasn't yet touching where we were. But still I tried to see it from the highway to no avail. it's been a very long time since I've actually SEEN a tornado, and that last time was in Ohio when I was a little child.
It was fun to joke about flooring it when we got to Jarrell. Sorry Jarrell. You are central Texas's Moore. That's some person who watches a lot of weather related videos gallows-humor for you!
anyway it was a pretty uneventful drive tbh. It didn't even rain until we got up to Fort Worth basically, somehow. So I didn't get to roll down the windows on the south side to smell all the bread and beer factories.
Sidenote: when I was a little kid one of our field trips at school was to the Mrs. Bairds bread factory. I barely remember it.
Our hotel room in Denton was one of those weird ones that people can live in, so it had a little kitchen and a couch. Extended stay I guess. Those are nice but they are FULL of divorced dudes. Divorced men in Punisher themed trucks as far as the eye can see. When we pulled up Punisher truck guy was BBQing in his truck bed!! And later on when I was setting up the Roku we saw a wifi signal named Punisher. His very existence has owned us.
I did not sleep. Bed make back hurt. Weird room weird bed weird sounds.
At the wedding I had one job and it was to be the first to stand up when the bride entered so everyone else would see me stand and also stand and no one stood up!!! it took like... an agonizing amount of time for people to realize oh right standing. damn it guys. Oh well. Also around that time I realized I forgot to put on deodorant that morning. x_x I checked later though and it was fine, no smell.
A whole day running on two days of no sleep and barely eating I thought for sure the last night I will get some sleep. Surely! But no. I just laid there again for 8 hours like. ah. ok. cool. my brain is broken.
3 days of no sleep.
I bought a little metal sculpture for my yard in West at Slovacek's. It looks like a little piranha plant from mario 3. The little ones that would hop around. kinda.
So here I am woken up from a little 3 hour nap at home. Still exhausted.
Seth was telling me about Frenchy's when we were in Denton. I didn't grow up there so I don't know about this denton institution! There's all these little parked food lookin trucks around town that sport american flags and are all painted different. I passed a smiley face one and a remember our vets one and one about volunteering. It's just some cleaning company or something like that. Frenchy's! Some old Italian guy runs it named Frenchy. Then on the way out of town there was a billboard from Frenchy reminding us to get vaccinated. Done and Done, Frenchy.
Not Frenchy, just some ultra Texas looking old couple I snapped a secret photo of on the way out of Denton. His hands weren't grey, my phone's camera was just having a bit of a time.
Dude's rockin' a kerchief to the applebee's

Hi Luta!
I've been following your blog since KinnPorsche and very quickly fell in love with your reviews hehe and as I read through them, a lot of what you wrote really just clicked for me so you know how you said you seem to attract brats? Congrats you got another baby brat following you 😂 (I actually took the bdsm test you used for the KinnPorsche posts and scored 91% for brat lol ngl that surprised me but also thinking about it......yeah it fits 😂). Learning more about the bdsm community is definitely something I want to do in the future, I just don't have the means rn. But I've always had a very active imagination and the theater major/creative writing minor in me loves to analyze stories and characters, so trying to see a story from several or all of the characters pov is something I really enjoy. And that combined with what I've learned from your blog, I've been able to start figuring out what I do and don't like (theoretically ofc since I have no practical experience and when I experience it irl things will most definitely change), for instance I liked the gentle corrections you pointed out in KinnPorsche or how in Love in the Air, Phayu never denies Rain comfort when he needs it even when he's being firm and just overall how these couples found ways to bring the D/s element into everyday life that works for them.
Anyways I just recently figured out something that I probably don't like skdjks I've been watching Not Me (and reading your posts about it after each ep) and I got to ep 8. Bondage is def something I want to try in the future but I got so mad at Sean for leaving "Black" tied up alone AND I'M NOT EVEN THE ONE WHO'S TIED TO BED 💀 I actually had to pause the ep so I could calm down a bit skdskfkd to help myself calm down I aggressively stabbed some cinnamoroll cloud slime with my fingers (while wrapped in a fuzzy blanket which def must've made for a funny image lol). Once I felt better, I hit play again but kept playing with the slime while watching. And then "Black" came to meet Sean at that abandoned building at the episode and I had to pause again cause I was still mad skfjsjfk my slime really went through this evening 💀 And knowing my petty ass I will most definitely still be mad at Sean for awhile lol (the logical part of me knows it's just a show but the petty side is winning rn) so yeah needless to say, if that had been me.........good luck getting my trust back Sean skzkfhjdkd
Anyways I just felt like sharing this, I know it's a pretty long ramble of an ask but I felt like I could share it with you 💕
Hope you have good day!
Hey baby brat!!!
Thank you for following me so long!!! You've gone through some craziness, lol. 💜💜💜
Yeah, my pet peeve is leaving someone tied up. I tend to be lenient with movie and show magic. However, so many people just don't realize how dangerous it is to keep someone tied up. For a multitude of reasons. Depending on the type of restraint, you only have a few hours to even minutes before you can start causing damage. Cuffs and handcuffs are safer than some other restraints, but even then, you should play by the rules of mobility.
Also, there should always be escape access nearby. A way in which a submissive can remove the bondage if necessary, should there be an emergency. I've known submissive who've had to cut their ropes to save their Doms. It happens.
So yeah, I agree with you completely here. Hope you have an amazing day!!! 💜💜💜

Could you please please please! Do Papas/cardiac and ghouls reacting to S/O being nervous to do anything because their trans, or coming out to them? (FTM and MTF)
First post in a long time and it’s not even my work! This is something @solofreakk answered for us FOREVER ago that I never even go around to pressing the 8 buttons to post it. How absolutely lazy can I be. But please enjoy (-kat)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*cracks my knuckles* alright Oingos and Boingos and Those Who Are Neither i’m gonna do my best at this as a trans/nonbinary guy but i definitely don’t speak for everyone’s experiences, so… if you don’t like this i apologize. I want everyone to be supportive of you so if they sound repetitive I’m sorry! And I apologize in advance for not including MTF :( I just feel like trans women and men can have some similar experiences but in the end I don’t think it’s my place to write for them. If there are any trans women out there writing stuff for Ghost i would say Please Shamelessly Shout Yourselves Out In The Replies Ladies.
Papa I: He’s a bit too old for most activities that would reveal you being trans imo. A pride parade is too crazy for him, he doesn’t have the energy to go to the pool or something. If you did he’d just lay there in the sun with a ghoul waiting to open an umbrella when he’s about to start getting too crisp. So if you didn’t go swimming, or take your shirt off, it literally would not raise any questions. He’s not in the water. He might make an offhand comment about how you should enjoy yourself but you could very easily tell him you’d prefer to be sitting with him, and you melting his old man heart like that kills any other question he might’ve even had. If you do end up explaining it to him later, he kindly reminds you there’s nothing wrong with knowing who you are. Encourages you to feel comfortable around him, you shouldn’t feel like you have to hide who you are because of your past. No further questions asked. You can say what you’d like about yourself but he won’t press or get in your business.
Papa II: This man is totally comfortable with nudity. You being opposite is… weird. He’ll ask. Are you insecure? You can say it’s something like that. He’ll be able to tell that you’re kind of dodging the question and he’ll leave it alone. But you’ve piqued his curiosity now. He’s gonna watch you just a little bit closer than he did before. He’ll suggest you guys take a swim, or go to the beach, and when you shoot that down too, he’ll ask. “Is there a reason why?” You can try to make excuses, or be vague, or say a half-truth, but those mismatched eyes see right through you. He probably already knows. When you ask him if he does, he’ll just wrap you in a nice strong Papa II Rare Tender Hug™. “It’s nothing to be ashamed about, you know. It’s okay to decide you’re not what everyone said you were. It’s part of becoming your own person.” Would probably be more bold in asking what your future plans are for yourself. Later on quietly reminds you not to bind for too long, or helps you with shots, or is making sure you’re laid up in luxury if you get top surgery. Supports you even if you’re gnc and don’t bind or don’t plan to transition and would impart his death glare upon anyone who dared to misgender you or treat you poorly.
Papa III: Hope no one shoots me down for saying “Papa III trans man” but *eyes emoji*. He’s gonna recognize your behavior immediately. You sweat at the idea of going to the pool or the beach, you don’t wanna change in front of him, you get nervous if someone calls you pretty instead of handsome. He’ll see you very very discreetly tugging at your binder, or taking deep breaths. And he just knows. And he’s elated. He’s like “OH I AM GONNA MAKE YOU FEEL SO HANDSOME.” Immediately deploys plan “Compliment Anon ‘Til He Dies”. He’s telling you that your hair looks great today, your laugh is so masculine, I love the way your arms look, That shirt is so handsome on you, I’m lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. Anything it takes to have you know how great you are. If you’re busy melting over the compliments, you might not immediately realize he’s caught on. You’ll probably think he’s just doing his regular Papa III schmoozing. Eventually, it clicks in your head. He’s lauding on you ‘cause he knows. So because he seems so cool with it, you finally work up the nerve to tell him. And he smiles at you and he’s taking his shirt off and whoa whoa WHOA HEY IT’S WORK HOURS MAN- oh. Oh. I see. That’s why. He buttons his shirt back up and pats you on the head and asks if you wanna get top surgery too, and if you say yes he’s literally writing you a check on the spot. He wants you to feel as comfortable in your body as he does in his and if you have any dysphoria woes he is all ears. He’s seriously like ride or die for you bro.
Cardinal Copia/Papa IV: He thinks your nervous behavior is totally normal, only because he is also nervous all the time. So he doesn’t even read into it. He’s totally clueless. You don’t wanna go swimming? Okay, yeah, actually he doesn’t really want to do it either. He’s pale, he’d just get burnt. Let’s stay inside all day in our pajamas. You don’t wanna put your pajamas on in front of him? That is also ok, hell let’s change in different rooms. You don’t even have to explain yourself, he just Gets It™. Eventually if you start wondering why he hasn’t asked about your odd behavior, you’ll just ask him. “Did you notice that I’m kinda… weird, about some stuff?” He’ll say he’s weird about stuff too, why should he pry into your personal business? So you press on and tell him you’re trans. You don’t want anyone else to know, for a myriad of reasons. You might start rambling about it, complaining about stuff, talking about what you want. And he’ll just… listen. Nod sometimes to let you know he’s hearing you, and you can keep going if you want. Finally you’ll end it with an exasperated and maybe slightly embarrassed sigh, but before you can apologize he’s pulling you into a hug. You are free to talk about it as much as you want, especially if you don’t tell anyone else. You’ve got all this stuff weighing on your mind and no one to vent it to, and he’s flattered you finally felt comfortable enough to let him know something so personal.
Dewdrop: Dare I say it… I headcanon Dewdrop as trans too… He’s much more like me though, feisty and kinda gnc. Like III, he’s gonna catch onto your behavior immediately. He’s not gonna make any moves to let you know that he knows, though. Just quietly be in your corner. Well, as quiet as Dew gets. He’s gonna… violently be in your corner. If he finds out someone misgendered you or committed some related act he considers a heinous crime, they’re losing some teeth. He’ll take a chunk out of them if someone isn’t there to rein him in. Eventually when you confide in him that you’re trans, he’s telling you that’s cool. You ask him why he’s so chill about it and he’s just smirking at you. “What…?” You ask. “Seriously, what? Why- ooohhh…” You’re free to not bind around him because most of the time, he doesn’t. He’s not gonna judge you for anything. Whether you wanna be traditionally masculine or be lax about gender norms, he’s gonna tell you you’re cool as Hell no matter what. Admires your courage in coming out to him and will take your secret to the grave.
Aether: First may I start this off by saying I may or may not have asked Aether, like irl, if he said “trans rights”. To which Aether kindly and genuinely said, “Does [Aether] say “trans rights”? Of course trans rights!” So there you have it Fosters and Peoples. Mr. Quintessential Ghoul himself did indeed say trans rights and I’ve never been happier to have asked someone that. I digress… He’s not gonna focus too much on odd behavior or nerves. It’s not because he’s got his head in the clouds, it’s just because this is a Judgement Free Zone™. If and/or when you come out to him, expect him to say, “Hell yeah, you do what’s right for you!” He’s got your back. If you want help with something, say an outfit or you need a new binder, he’s gonna help you figure it out. If you ask him not to tell anyone else, his lips are sealed.
Mountain: He is so used to being taller than everyone else so if you’re a short king (like me 5’3 man gang rise up [but not too high]) that does not make him ask any questions. He’s also out of your business when it comes to how you dress, or messing with your shirt, or not wanting to do certain activities, etc. He just… it’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s that he’s chill about everything. So chill in fact that eventually one day you just casually mention it. And he’s like, “Neat, you have lore.” Which is hilarious. He’s probably likely to ask if you’re making sure not to wear your binder for too long. He wants you to take good care of yourself, y’know, you’re really cool and you should treat your body kindly. He’ll ask if anyone else knows and if you tell him you’d rather they not find out immediately, he’s already giving you a thumbs up and making sure any question directed at your gender is immediately shot down.
Swiss: Swiss is too focused on having a good time and being good to everyone who deserves kindness to worry about why or why not you don’t want to go to the pool with them. You’ve got your reasons and that’s enough, although he’ll sorely miss you because he could use the extra help in fending Dew off in the water gun fight that most definitely will end in bloodshed if Aether doesn’t step in. Eventually he’ll convince you to maybe go, but not before you cave and tell him you can’t be seen with your shirt off. He’s smart enough to know what that means. No worries! And you know what? In solidarity he just won’t take his off, either. Will support you regardless of how you choose to present yourself and will sometimes casually gift you a new shirt or something, “because I think you’d look really handsome in it.”
Rain: Tender boy. He literally would not pry or push you to tell him anything you didn’t seem like you wanted to say. If you come out to him, that’s completely on your terms. I think he might eventually have a feeling, but he’s not going to make assumptions about you and will let you tell him when you’re ready, and even if you never do, that’s ok too. When you do tell him, he’s completely supportive and won’t make you feel any less of a man about yourself. Is a bit sad to know that you may struggle with dysphoria and he wants you to know that you’re a wonderful person, inside and out, even if you don’t always see it.
Cirrus: She notices your odd behavior, but she’s polite and chooses not to say anything about it. She doesn’t want to make you feel like she’s judging you or scare you or make you uncomfortable. She probably doesn’t flat out make assumptions about you, but she does think about it occasionally. Eventually when you come out to her, she completely understands. Sings her praises about how nice it is that you trust her enough to tell her something so personal about yourself, and says she’s thankful to have such a great person in her life. Also she’s always been your protective mom friend, but if you need anyone to get punched for saying anything transphobic, just let her know. Mama bear has got you. Mama bear has got claws. Hell, Cumulus will even help beat someone up. She doesn’t even need to know the reason. If Cirrus is verbally or physically abusing someone that’s good enough reason for her. You now have two powerful and protective mom friends, use this power for good.
Cumulus: She’s not gonna notice if you’re acting nervous or weird about anything. She’s focused on hanging out with you and having a good time and making sure you’re having a good time and that fun things are happening. If you go to the beach and don’t take your shirt off, not weird. Neither of you are even in the water, you’re probably making an impressive sand castle on top of a sleeping Mountain. If you’re at the pool, she’s okay with sitting on the side talking your ear off about anything under the sun (which currently includes all the other ghouls as it was a family trip to the pool). She wouldn’t notice if you tugged at your binder or had a higher voice or anything someone might think would be conspicuous. If and/or when you eventually come out to her, she’s like “Ooohhh, okay!” And honestly? She might forget. And then remember. And then forget again, and remember again. It’s just another thing about you, like your hair colour or what music you like. Doesn’t make you any less wonderful to her, and wouldn’t change anything about your relationship.

I want to be smothered in love but I’m honestly not sure I can handle another serious break up.
Fear is controlling my judgement.
Feeling as if I’m “wasting time” in terms of fucking around with people who are NOT on my level is contributing to that fear.
I know what I deserve, I also know I get over excited, anxiety sets in, and I cling hard to what I have. Usually only to find out that I shouldn’t have ever pursued whoever/whatever it was in the first place.
I blind myself with lust for the future and of “what could be” and I become instantly ignorant to the obvious red flags.
It’s like, I grow, I become a new person, yet I continue to find myself in the same situations and problems, but just with a different face.
Attachment issues due to abandonment concerns. I cut people off so hard because I can’t even entertain the possibility of thinking about them.
I put up such a hard fucking front. I’m weak, I’m aware, I’m barely making it through work without snapping at people, I’m mad, frustrated with my brain and my body, and even though I’ve accepted it, I’m not entirely at peace with it or myself, hence the need for attempts at lifestyle changes. Which none have helped me in the ways I desire.
I still yearn for my missing rib, woman, I feel as if I’m a man now, and it’s only time.
Maybe I am struggling because even though these ladies are my age, they are still girls, not women. Maybe I think I’m a man, but to a woman, I’m still a boy...
Anyway. It just turned 10pm. I’ve been ready for bed since 8:30. Took of all my blankets except a sheet despite it still being winter. I sleep way too warm lately, I’ll get the sweats if I even attempt to wear anything other than boxers. I even have “rain sounds and thunder” playing in the background to hopefully help me fall and stay asleep. I sleep about 7 hours, waking up hourly for no reason. My eyes are black.
Picking up my car tomorrow, maybe something materialistic will help fill the void I have.
Or I just need a hug from a loved one lol
Goodnight to whoever had the patience to read my rant diary that should have stayed in the drafts, I forget ppl I know irl read this, but I honestly don’t even care anymore, tbh I never did lol.

Tag game
Thank you for the tag @shesaidshesaid and @sergeantpeppa ❤️
1. Why did you choose your url?
I like the albums Sgt Pepper’s and Revolver and every username I wanted was taken, so this username was born.
2. Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them?
This is my only blog lmao
3. How long have you been on tumblr?
I made my first blog in 2013, which was a failed attempt at making an art blog so I ended up belogging memes 90% of the time. I deactivated the account around 2015 and returned last July, when this blog was created.
4. Do you have a queue tag?
Sometimes I queue posts for when I’m asleep. I either tag them as ‘queued’ or I do absolutely nothing bc I’m so disorganised.
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
I love the Beatles and I wanted to interact with other fans since my friends irl don’t listen to the Beatles often.
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
I fucking love the photo, every time I think about changing it I end up keeping my current one bc I just like it too much. Its one of my faves.
7. Why did you choose your header?
The Paperback Writer/Rain era is awesome, just everything about it is. So now it must be my header forever and ever.
8. What's your post with the most notes?
I seldom post original content so idk lol
9. How many mutuals do you have?
I’ve lost count but I love them all so much.
10. How many followers do you have?
653
11. How many people do you follow?
253
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
Probably? That would have been a while ago.
13. How often do you use tumblr each day?
Approximately 2-4 hours.
14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?
Never, if someone were to start an argument I’d probably just ignore them in an instant tbh.
15. How do you feel about "you need to reblog this" posts?
I can’t stand them. Guilt tripping instantly puts me in a bad mood.
16. Do you like tag games?
I do! Sometimes I just have nothing to add or I’m lazy so I end up not doing them but they’re fun to do when I’m in the right mood.
17. Do you like ask games?
Yes. I haven’t done one in ages maybe one day I will find one to do again.
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
I’m not sure? I don’t think its really a big deal.
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
Maybeeee :)
20. Tags
@rabbitmiik @catinsatintrousers @just-razqew @myidentityisamystery @monkberrymoon-delight (feel free to ignore, I’m not sure who’s done this either)

nia :)
2. when is your birthday?
27th february
3. where do you live?
i live in mumbai, india!
4. three things you are doing right now?
drinking tea while typing this and squinting because i don’t have my glasses on. i have a chill day planned - maybe i’ll binge on a couple of episodes of the untamed? then work for an hour or two later in the evening
5. four fandoms that have peaked your interest?
supernatural, harry potter, kpop (exo and nct) and the untamed
6. how has the pandemic been treating you?
i answered this question at the very end because djdksk there’s so much i want to say but i don’t know how to say it. umm....it was really difficult in the beginning because it was fiscal year end when the lock down was imposed (i work in accounting) so the coordination effort was a beast! the whole experience made me slightly negative, lazy, and complacent. things only went downhill from there (professional life wise) with regard to my attitude. but since the last two months, i’ve worked on disciplining myself and i feel like i’m doing better. now i even go to the office once/twice a week on rotational basis which is a huge plus.
7. a song you can’t stop listening to?
november rain - kris wu, work it - nct
8. recommend a movie?
can i recommend shows instead? :P
derry girls and schitt’s creek for them very necessary warm and fuzzy feelings, killing eve, the undoing and big little lies if you’re looking for some edge of the seat, nail biting drama and somebody feed phil if you want to live vicariously through someone’s travel experiences.
9. how old are you?
i’m younger than soo but a noona to sekai, definitely unnie to most of you here.

if i have a lunch date planned with friends, i will spend most of the previous evening obsessing over the restaurant’s menu.
13. are you shy?
irl, i am very shy except with the ones i'm comfortable around. i am known to have a beagle like personality once i'm made comfortable. online, i'm mostly fearful of saying something that may be hurtful because the said personality renders me a motormouth? it's why i take very long to type messages too... with ol interactions, i tend to think twice before hitting send.
14. preferred pronouns?
she/her
15. biggest pet peeves?
tardiness and chewing sounds.
16. what is your favourite -dere type?
i only know of two - yandere and tsundere. the easy answer is tsundere.

Day 1, Found Family - New Traditions
The Gang start a new Festive tradition filled with love, laughter, music, food & fun.
Day 2, Distance - Say I Love You When You’re Not Listening
Baz reflects on the events of Wayward Son, and the hopelessness he feels. "A trip to try and save him - To save us. A last ditch effort to put some of the sunshine back in to his soul. Rammed together in economy, the press of his knee firm against mine, but his mind miles away. His eyes ever averted. Touching yet so far apart. I just wish I knew where I went wrong."
Day 3, Retellings - Changing History
The Mage's publicized documents reveal a myriad of painful truths about the loss of Natasha Grimm-Pitch and the origins of Simon Snow.
Day 4, Side Characters - Thawing Of A Heart
Malcolm & Daphne. “I’d always known that I would remarry eventually. It was my duty for the good of the family. Basil needed a mother. And I needed … someone. It was a simple, logical decision - To find a woman of good breeding, and give her the Grimm name. To carry on. But, through all my planning and preparation, I had never anticipated that I would fall in love. Never anticipated her."
Day 5, Sleepless - Tonight He Is Mine
"I can’t sleep. I can never sleep these days, not how I want to anyway - It's always either that I’m knocked out for 15 hours, waking up disoriented and heavy, or that I can barely catch a moment's rest. But today is different. My body is tired, and my mind is too. If I let myself, I’d be gone. But I won’t. I can’t. Tonight is my last night with Baz, and I don’t want to miss a minute of it."
Day 6, WLW - To Her, I Taste Of Nothing At All
Fiona & Ebb. "But then, before I even knew what was happening, she was kissing me back. And Crowley, I swear I melted. She tasted of cigarette smoke and spiced rum - Like fire personified."
Day 7, Animal(s) - Family Dog
My interpretation of ‘I was a 15-year-old closet case whose parents pretended they didn’t notice when the family dog disappeared’. “A shallow grave. So much less than she deserves. But … I can’t breathe. I can’t even think. I’m running on autopilot and adrenaline alone. Everything is just - I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how I got here. I'm losing control. I can't - I can't even look at her. She's still wrapped in my sheets. I can see her bleeding. I still want it. I still want more."
Day 8, Rain - From Across The Courtyard
"When I first met him, it was hammering it down. I was rushing to the main door in a desperate attempt to rescue my suede shoes, umbrella snagging against the wind, when I heard it - An impolite 'Oi! Are you new?'"
Day 9, Kids/Childhood - At The Top Of A Tower
Simon reflects on the few happy memories he made with Baz at Watford.
Day 10, Crossover - I’ll Give You The Stars
A loose crossover between Carry On and parts of I'll Give You The Sun. “He’s haloed under the streetlights, and I’m trying not to stare. But, it’s hard. His face is celestial - The sunshine of his soul peeking through his features. I want to say more, just so that he doesn’t leave. Our houses are right there but, I feel so ... multicoloured."
Day 11, Fluff - Keeping Warm
Simon & Baz spend a tentative first night together after the events of the forest fire. “He’s sighing against me, and sliding a hand up towards to my neck to hold me closer against him, and - Fuck. He’s freezing. I jolt backwards without meaning to. Staring down at him in awe - His pupils blown wide, and a faint (But definitely present) blush spread across his cheeks."
Day 12, Wings - The Guests Can Wait
"Weddings are even more exhausting than I had imagined. What with the panicked last minute search for Simon’s vows (Which ended up being in the mini-fridge of all places), and having to parade ourselves around all of our well-wishing friends and family. All I want to do was get him alone. To tell him, without the presence of a hundred witnesses, how much he means to me - How much the fact that we’re here, together, after everything, means to me."
Day 13, Below the Surface - Below The Surface
"Las Vegas is a sham of a city. Outside it’s all bright lights and glitzy shows - Normal magicians and celebrity chefs. But, beneath its shiny exterior, it’s nothing more than a grim desert, filled with counterfeit culture, and people burning through money they don’t really have. The Katherine is no exception."
Day 14, Constellation(s) - Mirror, Mirror
Simon struggles with his body image Post-Carry On. “Sometimes I just … get so mad at them (At myself, really). I wish that they’d just grow up and tell me like it is. Tell me how much I’ve disappointed them. Tell me that they no longer want me."
Day 15, Hurt/Comfort - First Aid
Simon cares for Baz's Buckshot wounds. Less angsty re-write of the scene in Wayward Son. “I glare at him - At his blackened under eyes, and matted hair. The slight hunch of his back. It does hurt. I know it does. Liar. I move my face closer to his, and breathe in his air. I want to hug him. To kiss him. To cheer him up, somehow. Make him better. But I can’t. I don’t know how. So, instead I step away. My hands dropping limply, to my sides."
Day 16, Meme/Crack - Baby, You Can Pick Me Up Any Day
Oovoo Javer? Oovoo Javer. AKA: Baz is Simon's slightly dickhead-ish Uber driver. “I kept trying to talk to him - Asking about his night, and whether he always listens to Classical music, or if it was just for show - but he ignored me. Staring unamusedly at me in the mirror, eyebrow raised and lips tilted downwards. He got 2 stars for that trip."
Day 17, Blanket Fort - Torch The Night-Filled Fort
Baz surprises Simon with a living room blanket fort transformation. “I turn to him, beaming. ‘Baz, what? What is this?’ He hums against me. ‘Blanket fort. You’re terribly inobservant, Snow.’ ‘Yeah, but … I mean, why?’ ‘Well, it’s been a year now since we left for America, and we’ve come a long way since then. Thought it was worth celebrating,’ he confesses, smiling shyly down at the floor.”
Day 18, Side Ships - You Got A Boyfriend?
Shepard & Penny. Shepard asks Penny a very important question (Well, in his mind, anyway).
Day 19, Misunderstanding - Wrong Bottle, Moron
Simon makes a VERY stupid mistake while showering. Cue, Baz coming to his rescue.
Day 20, Technology - Screenless
Baz and Simon have been chatting online for a year. It's finally time to meet IRL and take their relationship into HD reality.
Day 21, Warmth - Out In The Cold
Fangirl era. Simon and Baz get stuck in a snowstorm, and have to find a way to stay warm.
Day 22, Unlikely Friends - You’re My Bro
Shepard comes over to hang out with his bro ... Baz?
Day 23, Cooking/Baking - What’s Cookin’ Good Lookin’?
Simon is making dinner. Baz is soft.
Day 24, Song - He Made It Easy, Darlin’
Simon & Baz struggle with trying to take the next step in their relationship. Inspired by Easy by Troye Sivan
Day 25, Parallel Universe - Parallelt Univers
Simon and Baz spend the day recovering in bed, after their first kiss. Inspired by the 'Parallel Universes' talk from Skam.
Day 26, Break - I Think We Should Break Up
Simon is trying to do what's right for Baz. Baz disagrees.
Day 27, Snowstorm - Searching In The Snow
Simon has lost his cat. So the only obvious choice is to hammer on his neighbour's door at 2AM ... And Baz is not impressed.
Day 28, Party - Festivities, Food, and Family. Chapter 1
"I’m over the bloody moon. After everything that happened after we left Watford, I wasn’t sure that I’d ever get to see this Snow - a truly joyful Snow - again. And it broke my heart. Yet, here we are, spending our fifth anniversary together, surrounded by friends and family in our own little London flat."
Day 29, Secret Santa/Gift Giving - Festivities, Food, and Family. Chapter 2
Day 30, Any Way the Wind Blows - Worst Road Trip ... Ever!
Shepard is NOT enjoying his trip back to England with the Gang. "I feel like a kid again, sat in the back of my mothers pick-up, hyped up on sugar, but belted down to the seat. Unable to run. Constantly being shushed."
Also huge thanks and praise goes to everyone involved in running the @carryon-countdown Countdown this year!!! I really enjoyed taking part :)

15. Do I get asks: (I do love you! ;u; thanks for a shout-out, Sammy ❤️) ye, at times, I’m no tumblr celebrity tho lol
16. Why I chose my URL: it has... my name in it? and that’s it. I may leave the rest for your interpretation (what the ‘sup’ means? u may never know; probably something stupid tho, like “stand up paddleboarding” or sth)

28. Fictional universe I want to live in: PJO universe, most probably ;u; I miss the days when in primary school my friends and I would pretend to be children of ancient gods ;u; my friend was a daughter of Athena and since I was a child of Poseidon, we would bicker with each other a lot and I might have or might have not totally used the excuse of being immune to water when I wanted to walk in the rain with no umbrella or hood
29. Fictional universe I want to live in part two: can it be a universe in my head? I had a dream a while back about a fairy tale like castle? There was grass instead of the floor, and there were plants and greenery everywhere, and trees, and you needed to use the branches as steps to reach top floors and- oh! there was this beautiful flower garden that my lovely dream girlfriend took care of ;u; I would gladly go back to her, er, to that place
30. Fictional universe I want to live in part three: I’m gonna sound cheesy and say Yuri on Ice universum only to be able to witness viktuuri kiss irl and freak out about it online (which I guess I still did...). In YoI universe there’s no discrimination too, and I would love that to be the reality ;u;
Tagging! @saecookie @tao-moonb @lostinbl @gunsatthaphan @mfshirtballs @wir-ro anyone else who might want to!✨

Hilaryyyyy your Old Guard fic has ruined my life as I knew it would. When I found it on ao3 yesterday, let out an irl cackle and had to constantly remind myself to wait until the work day was over to begin reading (the joys and perils of working from home in these Covid times, gotta stay on top of my shit myself). [1/7]
Now I've been following you for years (if this can be a timestamp: one of the earliest fic of yours that I can recall reading was a Gladiator-style Captain Swan piece that truly and physically ripped my heart to shreds. Like: real life chest pain) and thought I knew what I was getting into. I know you're a historian so I figured this would be rich with (accurate!) detail. It was that and more: so immersive, so /educational/, so everything. [2/7]
And this is all before getting into the Nicky/Joe of it all. I read through a lot of the ao3 comments as well (is that weird? I wasn't ready to leave the space the fic created yet so I kept the ball rolling in a different way) and like I saw a couple people mention, the characterizations went differently than I had envisioned yet felt so right, I was sold. [3/7]
The thing about the movie that grabbed me (amongst the other 283737 things that I loved) was how, in every scene, in every way, yet without ever beating us over the head with it: Joe and Nicky just /fit/. Like the sky is blue, the Earth is round, Joe and Nicky were made for each other. [4/7]
Now I have shipped many a couple in my old age, but this has been the quietest, most solid love story I've witnessed, without it even being the focus of the movie and once the 2 hours flew by, I knew I needed a prequel, a sequel, and a 6+ season series and to know all that is and ever was about these two. (And Andy and Booker and Quynh, but that is not where I am going with this ramble). [5/7]
The way you took them from their start to the end in 1995 had me hooked and I just want to thank you for it. You treated them as individuals made it understandable why they are so perfect for each other by the time we meet them in the movie. They were just so real and I loved it. [6/7]
I don't even know how to end this unending word spiral (and if I've lost you, don't worry because I'm pretty sure I lost myself at this point) but I just want to say that: I know you are a historian, I know you are a writer, yet this amazed me and I hope you never have doubts that those two endeavours are your calling. Thank you for the art! 🙏🏻 [7/7]
Oh wow, this is so long and so lovely, thank you so much. (Also, may I applaud your Mad Skills in knowing that this would take 7 asks to send; I am impressed by that and even more by the fact that Tumblr didn’t eat any of them, as I’m sure it was longing to do.)
As I said to another follower since the Captain Swan days: truly, I must thank you for putting up with God knows what and God knows how many spirals and new ships and hyperfixations since then (that started like... 8 years ago Jesus Christ). And yes, aha, When in Rome was like one of my earlier or at least early-ish fics for them, and was known for causing pain back then (I come by my url honestly). Memories.
As for how I characterized Joe and Nicky in their backstories: I don’t tend to read TONS of fanon (usually just what pops up on my dash) so I can’t speak to how they’re characterized in other fics, but for me, I am always a Ho for that sweet sweet character development, and for exploring how characters are flawed, how they change and grow, how their experiences affect them, and how they begin in one place and end in another. (Plus, we know that I also love me some of that Trash Man Character Development, especially if they’re actively trying harder to be a good person.) I’m also very invested in the idea that kindness a) isn’t just being passive and letting things happen to you, but requires action and fierceness and commitment and other things that usually come to you by experience, and b) that it’s a choice you make and have to keep making. So obviously we see Nicky struggle and grow with that over the centuries and even after everything that happens to him (and with Joe as well, of course; they both have to do it in their own ways), but that’s not necessarily where he starts out in 1099 and it’s something that has to come to him over (many, many) years. He’s a good man, but it’s raw, and it’s messy, and all this obviously horrible stuff is happening to both of them, and that’s not the easiest way to be constantly optimistic. When he’s still optimistic about things in 1995, it’s despite everything he’s seen, and which he has had to consciously choose over and over, the same way all of them have.
Likewise, not of course to rain on anyone’s parade who headcanons the two of them getting together in the First Crusade itself, but I just could not possibly imagine that happening. There’s just too much that they have to go through with their realizations about immortality and about each other and the sack of Jerusalem and everything else, and of course they’d run away and drag their feet and have shock and trauma over it and etc. (Besides, I need me a good enemies to lovers with proper buildup, so yes.) Their entire WORLD comes unglued and I wanted to process that properly for both of them as individuals before moving to writing them as a couple, and anyway. Yes. Of course they had to take a hundred years to figure their shit out and work through their emotions and come to a place where they could get together and then continue to make choices both for themselves and for each other.
.... the point is, I love them. I love them so very much and you’re right, they just FIT, they’re meant for each other, I adore every bit of the cheesy romantic tropes they’re given and I eat them up with a gd spoon. It just Hits Different when it’s the star-crossed immortal enemies to lovers One True Love romantic fairytale gay crusaders couple, ya feel? (As once more, I ruefully reflect how PAINFULLY they are exactly my type. And I also need all the content. Immediately.)
Anyway. I will likewise curtail this ramble here, but thanks again, and I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
