requesting guide

updated: 17.06.23

please make sure to read this before requesting anything — i'm hoping that you'll respect my boundaries on what am i comfortable with and with not writing.

MASTERLIST

I tend to curse often in my fics, and are usually comfortable with covering more serious topics, so make sure to check the content warning before hand. I always write warnings when I believe they're needed, but do let me know if you think something should be added!

CONTENT I WRITE :

I'm pretty comfortable with writing sensitive topics as well as angst ( anyone who's read my works before will know that they're the things I write best ) however, if I'm not comfortable with the topic as a whole I will DM you, or possibly put it off for a while.

PAIRINGS :

love interests

platonic

polyamorous ships ; depends on the character

support of homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, racism, sexism, pedophilia, incest ; if they're mentioned in a request in terms of the character being bullied / abused ( in the past ) then i may write it but NOT explicitly, only a mention

Hi!

I have been wanting to ask you for a while who are your favorite GTA IV ships? I love everything you share and reblog, and I’m a total GTA IV fool and love meeting people who enjoy it too!

(๑>◡<๑) !!!!

tyty for the ask I love questions like these !!

gta iv has so many good ships but these are my personal favorites:

- packie x niko

- brucie x bernie

- little jacob x niko

- tony x luis

there are so many niko ships he just goes rlly well with a bunch of people, like literally everyone in game had a crush on him . alongside the ones listed above I also enjoy pairing niko with brucie, dwayne, kate, bernie, and johnny ! (poly ships 🫶🫶) and of course roman + mallorie will always be amazing they are so so cute 💗 also some more underrated ones! marta x elizabeta, henrique x armando !

CONTO #9 — TAYLOR PRYDE

A mansão X sempre era muito mais calma e silenciosa aos fins de semana, devido a pouca quantidade de alunos que circulavam por seus corredores. 

Os que ainda tinham contato com suas famílias costumavam passar o fim de semana com eles, deixando apenas os residentes fixos no local, e estes não eram muitos no momento. E até mesmo eles costumavam passar o fim de semana em outro lugar, alguns aproveitavam para visitar Krakoa, enquanto outros apenas gastavam seu tempo pela cidade, passeando com os amigos em shoppings ou coisa parecida. 

Taylor costumava usar esses dias mais calmos, em especial os domingos de manhã, para explorar a mansão com mais cuidado, sempre sozinha. Não é que ela não tivesse amigos ou não gostasse da companhia deles, mas era algo que gostava de fazer sozinha.

Ela mal se lembrava de como era a mansão em sua terra natal, sabia que havia nascido no local, mas todos foram forçados a se mudar tornando-se nômades quando ela era pequena demais para ter memórias muito fortes da escola, então gostava de gastar seu tempo livre explorando esta mansão, decorando suas passagens secretas, seus pequenos detalhes... procurando algo que a fizesse se lembrar de casa, qualquer coisa que pudesse ter uma sensação familiar, mesmo que pequena.

Ela já havia feito quase todo seu percurso quando finalmente passou pela cozinha, e antes mesmo de se aproximar mais, ouviu algumas vozes animadas.

Nikolaj e Alexandra Rasputin estavam preparando alguma coisa juntos, enquanto Maci Gwynn estava sentada em uma das bancadas da cozinha, conversando com os dois. E assim que a viram, seu novo irmão mais velho abriu um grande sorriso. 

— Taylor, ei! Que bom te ver! Te procurei mais cedo, mas não te achei. Onde estava?

Ela se aproximou um pouco mais do grupo, e por mais que tivesse ouvido a pergunta, decidiu ignora-la.

— O que estão fazendo?

— Charlotka.  — Niko responde, e ao ver a expressão confusa no rosto da mais nova, se apressou ao explicar. — É uma sobremesa russa, basicamente um pudim de pão, tem uma de maçã pronta, e agora estamos fazendo uma com ameixas.

— Quer provar? — Alexandra perguntou, já pegando um prato no armário para que ela se juntasse a eles.

Tecnicamente, as duas não possuíam qualquer parentesco, já que Taylor não era filha de Piotr, apenas de Katherine, mas desde que chegou a esta nova realidade e foi adotada pela versão dessa terra de sua mãe e Piotr, Alex estava se tornando quase como uma prima de verdade, já que por causa da proximidade de Kate e Illyana, Alex costumava passar muito tempo com os tios e Niko.  Mesmo apesar da personalidade forte e explosiva, e às vezes da crueldade gratuita, Taylor gostava de Alex e até agora não tinham tido problemas uma com a outra, e isso, pelo que podia perceber, era muito bom. 

— Não sei se minha opinião conta, porque eu claramente já tenho um favoritismo aqui, mas está uma delícia. — A voz de Maci fez com que Taylor voltasse a prestar atenção na conversa. Ela já estava na metade de sua fatia de Charlotka.

— Quero experimentar sim. — Disse por fim, sentando-se na bancada ao lado da namorada de Alex, enquanto a loira lhe entregava uma fatia da sobremesa.

— É uma receita de família. — Niko informou com certo orgulho. — Uma das poucas que meu pai se lembra. 

Taylor cortou um pedaço quase minúsculo do pudim russo e levou a boca. Nunca havia experimentado uma dessas antes então não sabia se iria gostar, mas felizmente, ela concordou com Maci. Estava mesmo uma delicia.

Pegando mais um pouco do pedaço em seu prato, ela apontou para Niko e Alex.

— Vocês dois gostam de cozinhar? 

— Ele gosta. — Alex apontou com a cabeça. — Eu só ajudo quando estou entediada. 

— Quantos hobbies você tem? — Taylor perguntou para o irmão, rindo. — Gosta de consertar carros e de cozinhar e o que mais?

— Jardinagem.  — Ele riu, jogando uma pequena toalha nos ombros. — Tenho muitos hobbies! É bom para relaxar e manter a cabeça ocupada.

— É… acho que você tem razão.

— E você? — Alex questionou, olhando para a mais nova. — Quais são os seus hobbbies? O que você gostava de fazer na sua terra natal?

— Alex… — O sorriso de Niko desapareceu quando lançou um olhar reprovador para a prima, que apenas deu de ombros como se perguntasse “o que foi?”

— Não, tudo bem. — Taylor assegurou, se forçando a dar um sorriso. — Era um pouco difícil ter um hobbie quando você precisava se preocupar em não ser morta por um sentinela a cada minuto do dia. Então… acho que não tenho nenhum. 

— Nenhum? — Maci arqueou uma sobrancelha. 

Taylor se esforçou para pensar por um momento.

— Bom...criar histórias, talvez. Era como eu passava o tempo.

E nas histórias que criava, quase sempre ela gostava de imaginar que estava em um mundo diferente, sem sentinelas. Mas nem em seus melhores sonhos ela imaginava que um dia ela realmente teria a chance de viver em um mundo assim. Onde poderia se sentir segura, onde teria uma nova família e amigos, e mais importante, onde sentinelas não existiam mais, eram apenas objetos para jovens mutantes aprenderem a treinar melhor suas habilidades. 

Ela era grata pela oportunidade. Era grata pelo sacrifício de seus pais. Mas pensar neles fazia com que ela ficasse ao mesmo tempo feliz e triste.

— A sua dimensão não era muito boa, não é? — Maci questionou com cautela, e Taylor apenas concordou com a cabeça, revirando a sobremesa em seu prato com o garfo.

Ela quase não falava sobre sua dimensão natal, com ninguém, em parte porque eram lembranças muito dolorosas. Mas Jean e Ororo lhe disseram que talvez fosse bom se lembrar. E talvez fosse melhor ainda compartilhar com alguém como ela se sentia. Com alguém com quem ela se sentisse a vontade, e no ritmo dela.

— Sente falta de lá? — Alex perguntou outra vez, recebendo mais um olhar de reprovação de Niko. Taylor pode ver que ela não se importava com aquilo.

— Sinto muito falta dos meus pais, não do resto. — Ela suspirou. — Aquele lugar era um inferno. Sentinelas por todo lado, campos de concentração para mutantes, trabalho forçado…. sem contar que não havia sobrado quase nenhum dos nossos lá. Todos os que eu conheci aqui, já haviam morrido. Kurt, Jean, Scott, até mesmo sua mãe Alex. — Ela lançou um rápido olhar para a loira, mas o desviou antes de ver sua reação. — Nunca conheci ela. Nem ninguém, na verdade. Tirando meus pais, Piotr, Wolverine, Tempestade e Magneto.

Ela fez uma pausa e um silêncio estranho pairou sobre eles. Taylor quase se sentiu culpada por ter estragado o que antes estava sendo um momento de descontração entre os três. Então ela sentiu o peso de uma das mãos de Maci em suas costas.

— Nós sentimos muito por isso.

Taylor sorriu. Maci estava sendo sincera, e não só dizendo aquilo porque era a “coisa certa” a se dizer, como muitos costumavam fazer em sua presença.

— Mas estamos felizes de ter você aqui agora. — Niko disse, se esforçando bastante para não chorar. Taylor gostou mais dele depois disso.

Outro silêncio  se seguiu, mas não um silêncio desconfortável como o primeiro. Era bom saber que podia contar com eles. Taylor se sentia bem ao lado deles. Eram sua família, certo? Podem não ter sido sempre, mas eram agora, e ela ao poucos estava se sentindo mais próxima a eles.

Mas decidindo que queria levantar o ânimo de novo, ela resolveu se focar no agora, e não no passado.

— Será que eu, hã, posso aprender a cozinhar com vocês? Essa Charlotka aqui está uma delícia mesmo, e eu adoraria aprender uma habilidade nova que não fosse relacionada a congelar nada, só pra variar.

—  Com ele, você quer dizer. —  Alex disse, apontando com o dedo para o mais velho. —  Eu também sou só uma aprendiz.  E se dependesse de mim, você poderia congelar o que você quisesse por aqui, contanto que fique longe do meu quarto.

Niko voltou a sorrir depois disso.

— Primeiro, não de ouvidos a ela, a não ser que queira passar um mês limpando o Blackbird. Segundo, é claro que posso te ensinar! Sempre tem espaço pra mais um. —  Ele se virou para tirar outra Charlotka do forno e quando colocou sob a bancada da mesa, lançou outro olhar para a irmã. — Ah, antes que eu me esqueça, quando terminarmos aqui, nós vamos sair.

— Vamos até o centro, no cinema. — Maci explicou.

— Quer vir com a gente? — Alex perguntou

Taylor considerou a oferta por um momento. Ela quase recusou, queria continuar aproveitando mais da calmaria da escola antes que seus corredores voltassem a se encher para mais uma semana de aulas, mas ela não podia negar que os filmes e o cinema em si eram uma das coisas que ela mais gostava nessa nova realidade. Talvez, no final, esse acabasse sendo o seu hobbie agora que ela era livre para escolher o que quisesse para fazer com seu tempo. 

— Eu posso?

Pela primeira vez, Alex sorriu.

— Como o Niko disse, sempre tem espaço para mais um.

Há algum tempo eu disse que ia tentar postar mais contos que não viessem só das listas, e é o caso deste aqui !! Não foi nenhum pedido, eu só fiquei com vontade de escrever algo com a Taylor, porque é uma personagem que eu gosto muito e ainda não apareceu muito por aqui. Lembrando que ela é filha da Kitty e do Bobby do universo dos filmes do X-Men. Espero que isso ajude também a explicar um pouquinho sobre o passado dela, mas espero postar mais coisas dela ( especialmente com os Rasputin porque né ?? Se eu pudesse eu colocava eles em tudo, falo mesmo ) em breve pra ir aprofundando um pouco mais nela :3

Another Life S1E1: SPOILERS

I love science fiction tv series. Like, love love love science fiction tv series. I grew up on a steady diet of everything Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, the X Files, Roswell, and Star Wars. When Netflix announced this show I knew that I was going to watch it because 1) SPACE, and 2) Tyler Hoechlin. I love. I stan. I don’t even care.

Since the tragic death (I’m nostalgic stfu) of the Stargate franchise there has been a lack of really great tv series to move in to fill the void. The one newer show that I’ve actually enjoyed is The Expanse.

I’m about 20 minutes in and there are a few things that I already don’t like about this episode:

-It’s slooooow. Aliens make a diamond tower grow, Katee gets her assignment, and then that damn awkward forced conversation on the ship. Snore. There hasn’t been a single bit of development of any of these characters, and now the viewer just has to jump straight in. I don’t even care about these characters yet, man.

-Katee Sackhoff’s character, Niko, taking over Ian’s ship. Did I miss the bit of character building where they were talking about Ian being incompetent or doing something unprofessional to earn a demotion? No? Am I crazy? Why are they trying to push Niko on us? She’s a bland mayonnaise sandwich.

You know what would have been cool? If the episode started off with Ian being court-martialed or otherwise reprimanded for something, and then the aliens show up. Ian’s like “hey cool, an adventure” and his boss is like, “yeah, and guess who’s not leading the expedition...”

And then bring in Niko. Just Jesus, anything other than the first boring ass 20 minutes that I’ve already watched.

---intermission---

Ten more minutes in, and Niko is a really annoying character. So far I kind of want the rest of the crew to toss her off the boat. Voted off the island, k thnx.

Not even her interaction with her daughter is enough to make her an interesting character.

--intermission--

Oh, well that coup happened really quickly.

Aaaand of course now things are going to fuck up. I always give everything five episodes before I decide I don’t like it, but hopefully this gets better. Netflix is trying to squeeze too much into the first episode. Its like they tried to hit the ground running, but the ground they hit kind of...fell out from under them?

--intermission--

What the frick. There is no way that anyone can repair systems to a ship from a keyboard. Its called suspension of disbelief, because you’re meant to portray situations that in the moment viewers can believe make sense in the universe that the writers crafted. This is not that moment. We’re supposed to feel excited when she straps in and manually flies the ship, but I was just annoyed that they thought they could sell it with literally NO mechanical repairs to the ship? Fuck off.

(Also, this show underutilized Tyler Hoechlin and then killed him really early. Boo.)
