JM live 15 June 2023 20:46 or 8:46pm KST

cr./to the creators of the media used in this post.

*Disclaimer: I hate Tumblr and it's stupid ass image limit. My personal feeling about this post is that it's lacking, but I guess c'est la vie, did the best under the circumstances (at least that's what I'll keep telling myself).

Guess what?

We already saw the pattern with JK, but is it possible that JM is joining in on the it? I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

I won't be talking about every single thing that came up in JM's 1 hr. and 20 min. live. What I will do is touch on a few of the interesting things that happened during the live (well, what I found interesting at least), and what followed the live as well. Because JM didn't just show and dip. He wanted to take up home in his pocket, although he did think that over 7 million at his place might be too much, maybe if it was half of that it would be ok, lol. But we know JM, for reals, he wouldn't do a live at home, so he did the second best thing, which was to come back to us with posts and comments on Weverse.

Anyways, what did we have in the live?

JM talked about the 10 year anniversary a bit. Telling us he's not really that excited, but the biggest emotion he's feeling is fun. I get the not feeling excited. He also explains why. I'm happy that he felt it fun, I can't help but think that it was a bit of a bitter sweet celebration for them. He touched, not touched on it, when he mentioned the two members in the army at the moment.

JM tells us what he's up to lately, his daily schedule, more or less.

He's asked if he's working on a song, and JM like JM answers this:

He later gives us a little more detail: he's been working out and eating healthy and working on some music and living well. Once a week he allows himself to rest.

The question I ask is if JK allows him to rest too? Lol, nah. I guess that's the day they take off to visit Bammie. Ehm... we do have the scratch to prove it...

Jokes aside, JM talks about how it's good for him to have a set schedule and be at work. For him and JK both (that's me talking not JM). And seeing that RM kind of spilled the tea, we can guess that the workouts are probably, at least some of the time, together with JK.

At the 10:40 mark approx. Tae shows up in the comments.

JM, the kind of sassy and a true Slytherin that he is tells Tae, he will if Tae continues to comment for the whole time.

Well, I guess that was the end of it for Tae, lol.

Fuck people for calling him chubby in the comments. I hate this obsession with his weight, but even more so I hate people sitting at home on their asses and calling this 1.73 meter tall man that weighs 62.5 kg after putting on over 4 kg to get there, chubby. Like wtf? Man is skinny. And minus those 4 kgs he was fucking too skinny. Do they want him to starve himself? Do they not remember the issues he had in the past with his weight (issues which always linger even if you are "eating healthy" as he put it)?

Ok, so at around 14:55 min. JM's asked for the first time about the rainy day fight. When watching live, I kind of thought he was evading the question, but him answering the question later on, I tend to believe that maybe he just misunderstood the question at that point.

JM talks about sleep and R.E.M and how when you dream your mind is active and you don't really get deep sleep, and watching a video about it. I find it kind of funny and coincidental - NOT - that JK seems to have said practically the same things using similar wording in his live as well.

But no, they definitely aren't spending time together.

JM tells us he went to sleep at 6 am, woke up at 12 pm, made himself some chicken breast to eat and went back to sleep. Sound familiar anyone?

Sleep patterns. Chicken breast for lunch.

But no, they definitley aren't spending time together.

JM is asked to do the live all night.

He wants to sleep early.

Funny how that didn't work out for him... I guess someone was staying up to be able to speak with that very special person that happened to be in LA and would be waking up just as JM was supposed to go to sleep?

Slept at 12 and woke up at 8, ate at 12 pm, rest and go to workout at 2:30 pm approx., start working at 5 pm, at night he studied English. Ehm...didn't somebody else just let us know, repeatedly, that he's working hard on his English?

From his 5 June live:

Nah, I guess just another coincidence.

What I'm finding interesting is if JM is done with his promotions and it's off to the army any time now, why would he be working on his English?

Oh how I do hope that this is for something in the pipelines that involves the two of them TOGETHER!!!

Well, it is hard to break a sleeping pattern that has been with you for years and years. We all know of JM and JK's late night/early morning escapades. All night buddies that they are.

Rainy day fight, JM's version:

So this time around JM understands the comment asking about the rainy day fight and gives us his version of it.

Of course we got JM's JK smile.

He does tell us he's giving us an edited version of it. JK, on the other hand, edited without telling us, lol. Both said a lot about the what happened before and after, but magically didn't mention exactly what was said at the moment by JK to anger JM so so much for him to react the way he did.

Anyway, we got is the story from JM's pov. And yes, there are some differences, but I wouldn't expect otherwise. 2 people, 2 povs. No 2 stories would ever be exactly the same.

The main discrepancy I found was the timeline. JK's being when they were trainees, and JM's all over the place but still later on (2014-15). Idk, I'm gonna side with JK on this one, lol. Like I mentioned in the post about JK's live, I feel like this fight was way more impactful for JK than it was for JM. And as such it's more etched on his brain than it is for JM.

Something I found interesting was how each of them was keen to take responsibility for the fight. JK blaming himself for how he behaved and what he said, and JM the same.

What I also found interesting and very much not surprising is how this fandom roles. JK taking blame for the fight = "oh poor baby bunny JK, how big of him to take the blame"; JM taking blame fir the fight = "omg, how mean is JM picking on baby bunny JK, being so mean to him, ugh we hate JM."

Did I mention how there are some parts of this fandom that I absolutely despise?

One thing they both corroborated was the state of JK's eyes the morning after, lol.

Both JM and JK were happy giggly while telling the story.

A fight that definitley left it's mark of them both but also something to reminisce back on fondly.

Something else we learnt from JM's live was that he most definitely watched JK's live. He watched JK tell us about the rainy day fight and he also found JK's impersonation of G-Dragon very funny.

When is your next album coming JM?

Listening to army love letter

JM was truly moved by this.

Did JK cook Ramen for you?

JM averting eyes away from camera and moving on at the speed of light to..."oh angel pt. 2 came out today..."

There are 1001 options to why not yet. I'm not going to even start going there, because it's irrelevant and unimportant.

What I do know is JM chose to answer that comment but a. unlike the other comments that had to do with JK which he did answer, this one answer didn't come with a JK or jungkookie attached to it. It was short and he was done with it, and b. the way he looked away from the camera while saying it and repeating it once before just changing the subject was just so sus and felt like overcompensating.

Of course there are those that jumped at it like the dead feeders that they are. This must mean that they haven't seen each other. That JM isn't important to JK, etc. etc.

Funny how JM and JK don't see each other but are eating the same things for lunch, like Chicken breast and rice… or how they aren't seeing each other but JM somehow, magically, adjusted JK's mood lamp at JK's place…telepathy and telekinesis I guess. Oh, and did we discuss the sleeping patterns yet or the fact that they both happened to bring up the science mambo jumbo about sleep and dreams, almost word for word? But nope. They definitley aren't seeing each other and definitley aren't close. Also, for someone that is distanced they sure seem to be keeping up with each others lives. JM must be really bored to be sitting down and watching JK's long ass lives.

Moving on.

JM, being the king of evading answering whatever he doesn't want to answer, reads out comments asking about travel and tattoos, and decides those are topics he does not deem answer worthy, lol.

Do I talk about the goldfish lips? Nah, I don't wanna. Go watch!

Mashimaro

And this is JK way back in 2015 already.

JM assuming the position

So after saying he should do the next live lying down, cheeky thing that he is decided he's taking JK's sleeping live and raising him one, by taking us all home with him in his pocket, lol.

Although he took it all back. Yeah yeah, excuses excuses. So he can't fit 7 million into his place. Boo hoo. 3.5 million he can but 7 he can't. I do not accept such a cop out.

And then he was done, well more or less. Hungry, asking us for recommendations for food, and tired, he says his goodbyes and turns the live off.

But that wasn't the end of it. Nope.

Remember JM said he'd update us when he got home?

Well, he did. He came back to update us time after time after time.

And a comment too

Oh, and the next day as well.

Also interesting how that 5 and 8 found their way time after time into JM's posts and/or comments. 58 that happens to represent JK time after time.

At the end of the day what did we get from the live?

We got the rainy day fight - JM's perspective (muddled up timeline though, but I forgive him, getting old does make you forgetful, lol).

We got JM tell us he has seen JK's live, the one with him telling us his side of the rainy day fight and doing his G-Dragon impersonation, and I think we can assume he saw the sleeping live too.

I can't help but wonder if JM was reprimanded for commenting on JKs previous lives (you know with the shrimp, not really shrimp, comment and let me tie your hair), or perhaps he's just laying there enjoying watching his bf crush on him live.

We had JM call army and their comments cute. Funny, huh? How JK did that too?

Kind of interesting how the two seem to be saying the same things (the cute and the sleep talk), acting the same way, eating the same things.

I was going to add a clip and link here to JK's chicken breast eating tales, him cooking chicken breast with rice, him talking about eating chicken breast for lunch. Him eating healthy now days. Sounds familiar does it? JM talking about eating chicken breast for lunch, about eating chicken breast with rice. About eating healthy lately...

But damn Tumblr won't allow me. So you guys will either have to take my word for it (please don't), or go looking. You will see I am right...

For fun I will just leave you here with this:

Cause why not end this with an ear to ear smile on our faces?

Signing off.

I never really thought I'd ever write a post like this and to be perfectly honest I feel a bit cringe for even making a thing out of this but I felt it necessary to address those of you who follow me and my writings.

In the last month I have been suffering severely from anxiety, waking up to what feels like a ball of dread clutching at my heart and being unable to shift it for the better part of the day. It's all come to a head as of late because I've reached a crossroads in my life where I've realised just how unhappy and unfulfilled I am. Truth to be told I really don't have any aspect in my life that I am happy with and for years I've dismissed myself and my own desires for the sake of others to the point where I have no self worth, no self confidence, and I just feel like a shell of a person. Realising that I can't go on like this, that I can't live the life I aspire to without sorting my mental health out, I've taken the first steps in getting counselling and in going to the doctors to be put on anti-depressants.

While I'm already starting to feel better, I've decided it's in my best interests to take some other steps going ahead; which is I'm logging off this account.

Don't get me wrong, this account has brought me fulfillment in the last two and a half years and I've had so much fun interacting with so many of you but as of late I've become very disengaged with Bridgerton. It's one of several of my hyperfixations which I have become anxious with in the last few weeks, in part because they are what I used to immerse myself in as a means to distract myself from a dissatisfying existence, but now I've decided to make a change in my life for the better, everything that I once used to bury my head in the sand has now essentially given me the ick. Bridgerton is just now one of several things that I feel the need to distance myself from in order to fully focus and concentrate on bettering my mental health as well as getting what I want out of life.

As much as I've taken pride in writing because of Bridgerton, my dream has always to one day publish a book of my own and I need to refocus my energies on writing my own original stories to have the chance of maybe being able to make that dream a reality. I would have so dearly loved to have been able to complete a whole host of WIPs (would have also loved to have been able to just focus on one story at a time but c'est la vie) and I can only apologise to anyone who's been hoping for an update from any of them.

You will still be able to read all of my works on AO3 (plus I've restored a couple I had previously hidden from view), and I won't be deleting this tumblr so all of my drabbles and various posts will still be here for you to browse and read at your leisure.

Though I'm stepping away from this account, I don't necessarily know if this will be forever. I might well end up in a better place mentally at some point and return with a healthier state of mind where I can enjoy Bridgerton again, and I would never rule out contributing writings again - however as it stands, I don't want to promise anything and taking care of my mental health is my main priority for now and the foreseeable future.

I also just wanted to take the opportunity to thank every single person who has ever liked, reblogged, and interacted with me since I joined. I had never previously shared any of my creative writing online and thought it would be nice if even a single person somewhere vaguely liked anything I had to share - but over the last two and a half years I've been given such a boost from the amount of people who have reached out and commented on any one of my silly writings. I don't think you'll ever understand just how much it has meant to me and the love and appreciation will stay with me forever.

That about does it, so thank you all for everything. I wish you all a lifetime of health and happiness.

Signing off,

Shinnie

love your blog, if possible could I get an Albert and Jules lore dump? I read your other post but I am hungry for more context (and sources)

omg hii glad u like it here !! 😋 umm ok i can try to do like a rough little timeline w notable moments maybe? whatever comes to mind lol

in err 1991 i believe when julian was 13 he got sent to that one swiss boarding school to curb his alcoholism (did not work clearly) and a while later 11 year-old albert also arrived. julian stayed for two years and albert stayed for six months. julian had this to say about their meeting SNIFFLES. theyre never beating the soulmate allegations i fear

How did you become friends at first? Julian: Two of us arrived in a private school in Switzerland. I felt I had nothing in common with the others. They were so different from people I knew in New York, they were obsessed by clothes Haut Couture. I missed New York so much, it’s really a part of my soul. Meeting Albert was a relief. At last, someone with whom I could talk. There was immediately something, a feeling of complementarity. We talked a lot of music, of our band plans. We gave ourselves 2 years to create a band or to bury this dream. After 2 years, we gave ourselves 2 more years, (laugh).

— the strokes for les inrockuptibles, march 2002 (x)

after albert moved back to la he and julian lost touch until 1998 when albert moved to new york at 18 to go to film school and find himself or whatever. and of course they have the most red string of fate ass second meeting oh my god it makes my stomach hurt. I COULD LITERALLY SEE HIM FROM MY WINDOW. why arent they in a stupid hallmark movie romcom COME ON

“When I first came to New York,” marvels Hammond, resplendent in red and black winklepickers, “the way things happened to me, it was like there was someone… doing it. I moved into my apartment, it was directly across the street from where Julian worked. Like, what are the odds? I could literally see him from my window.”

— albert hammond jr for q magazine, april 2002 (x)

and so albert becomes the final member of the band, completing the set ❤️ (the talk, 2013)

Albert, did you have to try out to be in The Strokes? Yeah. I remember when I met everyone. I met Julian first, then Nikolai, got really drunk one night, and then I went to go try out, even though Julian told me later that in his mind I was already in the band. How come? I was an okay player, I could play chords and stuff, but I looked awesome. (Laughs) I just looked like there was only one thing I could do: be in a band.

albert and julian lived together for seven years from 1998 to 2005 when julian got married, they had two apartments together and the first one is the most well known, it's the dumbbell shaped one. idk about the layout of the second unforch

ehhh scrubbing ahead a bit. julian wasn't there for albert's intervention in 2009 because he was on his solo tour

but happily in 2013 we get albert releasing his comeback ep through julian's label cult records (and then he leaves cult records in 2015. c'est la vie.) (nme september 2013)

“I’d been talking to Julian about wanting to release something on his label since he started it,” Hammond Jr explains. “He was like, ‘Let’s put out a song’. So I went, ‘Alright, I’ll start working with Gus [Oberg] and maybe after we do a few songs there’ll be one that’s fun in there.’ I sent him the first, ‘Cooker Ship’, and he was floored. I got an email back with a million ‘yes’-es on it!”

speaking of which. i've posted this before but SIGHHHH (the talk 2013) that song is for his fucking then-gf justyna. (well, most likely. i dont think hes ever outright stated who he wrote it for but the mv is pretty domestic (for the most part......) and theres a bit where theyre kinda dancing in the living room which is one of the things albert told an interviewer he and justyna did a lot → vice june 2015 but of course i suppose you never know)

Kind of like The Strokes’ song “You Only Live Once”… Julian wrote that. I’m in the band, but I still take his lyrics like a fan would. You always relate lyrics to yourself, and I even do that with him even though he is one of my friends and we lived together when he was writing it. God knows what they were truly about. But it came full circle when he was over listening to “St. Justice” from my new solo EP. It was really cute, he was like, “Is this lyric about me?” And I was like, “…no, man.” It really wasn’t, but it was a good circle because I’ve felt that way about so many of his lyrics. When we got in the band, Julian had such a vision, he was just a strong writer, so the first three records are all his.

and then there's. whatever the fuck is up with one way trigger. i'll make a post about that swear

ending this post here i think bc otherwise i'm never gonna post this SORRY. i'll try to think of more but the tragedy of julian/albert is that it's actually really hard to find fuel for them. unlike milex where they're apparently physically incapable of not being all over and waxing poetic about each other. but then what you Do get is kinda crazy. such is life

#ask #anon #the strokes #julian casablancas #albert hammond jr #casamond #sorry u sent this ask more than a month ago 😭😭😭 idk how much of this is still new info to you MBBB

hi. tried to reblog and leave a bunch of tags but made a mistake and tumblr wouldn't let me edit the post SO i took a screenshot because I WILL NOT REWRITE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY TERRIBLE TO TRY AND GO BACK TO MY NOTES TO INCLUDE THEM INTO THE TAGS BECAUSE THE APP WOULD ERASE EVERYTHING so here you have a long ass pic with a ton of tags. love u u fucking mastermind 💋

I DID IN FACT GET THIS ASK FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU SENT ANOTHER ONE OTHER THAN THE DID YOU GET THAT ONE, then I am missing one, but I got this one!

I'm so glad you think it could standalone and make sense because I went into posting this like "so many people are not gonna be able to keep up with the tense changing and the time skipping, i'm being incoherent" thank you all for proving me wrong. My writing profs taught me to believe everyone does not have reading comprehension. Perhaps we should be giving more credit to readers, me thinks.

Man, I wish Carmen in The Bear canon aligned with CK not particularly because I wish he was better but because watching S3 I was like oh,,,, did I get all that wrong? Because to me, yeah does Carmen run away from things? 1 fucking million percent. At the same time, however, Carmen is an artist and I think like,,,, he's taught, yknow? He takes direction and critique, is always how I took him-- And so like, he just compartmentalizes criticism of his character the same way he would his craft; and he fucking likes making shit better, so he transfers it to life.

I considered massively pivoting from this choice for him to accept that he needs to be better, and instead like, Bojacks it, basically, but like, I'd already done this in CK canon:

Did I emulate my own previous scene to call back to the beginning of their relationship in chapter 13? Yeah 100% I did but back on topic--

I'd already decided that this was how Carmen went about things, and to be fair, I think honestly if everyone had just let each other finish sentences in S3EP01, that entire season I think would've gone an entirely different route, but c'est la vie, that's the tragic comedy of it all.

NOW ONTO MIKEY! I think some have said they prefer this Jimmy negotiation to canon-- And to be fair, though the sobriety aspect may not have been a part of it, Mikey did say he wanted to franchise with Carmen, and that's what the money was for. Or at least that's what Carmen affirms:

god fucking jesus christ he was so much more charming in S2 what the FUCK moving ON

But anyways, I think the 10k/week thing honestly is something Uncle would do, and I guess this is me staking my bet on it. I'd like to believe Mikey was climbing his way out-- Or maybe that's more tragic? I dunno. Regardless, I adore him, so, yknow. he's the guy!

50 PLUS YEARS FOR CARMEN? YOU THINK THIS GUY COULD LIVE TO 80? BABY LOOK UP POPCORN LUNG THIS MAN WAS GETTING ULCERS AT 21 WE'RE LUCKY IF WE GET TO 60

regardless, thank you for enjoying i'm so glad that my interpretation of Mikey was enjoyed. I tried to be as like,,, accurate as possible to what I feel he'd act like out of the small scenes we've seen of him, but I also absolutely had to pull from my own oldest brother. so. i don't have issues idk what all of you are talking about.

also, I will put this in a master post of like, bits I was doing, later, because there's a fucking lot, but this is the last post I'm making before bed and I wanna get yelled at about this in my inbox in the morning nothing makes me happier:

Chapter 1! Tony Terry Tommy!

Chapter 13! Two Steps Back.

I know I'm a bitch, aren't I? I'm sure rereaders noticed this but I wanted the whole class to know.

While I'm at it, Chapter 12! Hit em with it!

YEAH BABY SHE'D BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT THE WHOOOOLLLEEE TIMMEEEEE YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH I'm fucked up for this one. I had the Cold thing planned since chapter 1 I'm so SICK with it. Yell at me in my inbox I do love to make everyone mad ngl call me Carmen cause I'm a fucking shit starter baby

thank you for your thoughts and thank you for giving me a place to yap for WAY too fucking long GOOD NIGHT OR GOOD MORNING PENDING WHERE YOU ARE!!

#yapping #ask #ashtonweon #season 3 opinions #onion wip #i say wip cause like i'm talking about the process? it makes sense shut up

Fic 20 questions

I was tagged by @bewires, thank you!

1 - How many works do you have on AO3?

13, lucky number.

2 - What's your total AO3 count?

67,881 words. Not bad.

3 - What fandoms do you write for?

Right now, only for The Old Guard (2020). I'm a "one hyperfixation at a time" type of person.

4 - What are your top five fics by kudos?

Celebrated for Their Frankness (P&P)

Kissing a Stranger (P&P)

Galeotto Fu'l Cane (P&P)

hand in hand, we stumble and we fall (then we stand, once and for all) (TOG)

seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe (TOG)

5 - Do you respond to comments?

99.9% of the time, yes, even if it's just to write "thank you for reading" thirty times in a row

6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uuuuuh I don't actually write angsty endings? Even the sadder ones always have a vision of hope in the end

7 - What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Again, difficult to say. Probably c'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui (dans la vie) because it's Reunion and Fluff Galore. Or A Marriage of True Minds, because of Wedding Fluff and Feelings.

8 - Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully not, and I hope it never happens

9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No, not really. Love reading it, but I don't think I'll go that far myself.

10 - Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No I don't. The thought never really crossed my mind

11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Never, thank goodness

12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?

No - although one could say that I already am doing my own mental translation since English is not my first language lol - but if someone wanted to I wouldn't mind, as long as they asked me first

13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, never happened

14 - What's your all time favourite ship?

Why are you asking me to rank my children?! Darcy/Elizabeth has been around longer, but Joe/Nicky really Hit Different. So I say it's a tie.

15 - What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

All of them? There's a reason I don't post WIPs - inspiration is flighty and cruel. I never say 'never', but knowing myself if I haven't worked on something for longer than a year it's unlikely I'll ever start again

16 - What are your writing strengths?

I'm the wrong person to ask this - Maybe plot coherency and world building? I tend to take a lot of time to make sure that the plot flows well and that things are as accurate I can get them. Also, clearly, writing soft and fluffy things.

17 - What are your writing weaknesses?

I always have the feeling of my writing being clunky and too detail-filled, because I want the readers to see the scene as I see it in my mind. And I've never been able to stay within the number of words I expected to - my one-shots get stupidly long.

18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I literally make Nicky speak in Italian as much as I can get away with it all the time. But also, if it's a language you don't know well and unless you have a human who speaks it that can check it, I wouldn't just trust a translation software. I have seen enough of glaring Italian errors in fic to make me want to go "please just say that they spoke in another language in the dialogue tag I beg of you."

19 - First fandom you wrote for?

Winx Club, a long long time ago, and not in English

20 - Favourite fic you've written?

I think it's a tie between hand in hand and We're Meant to Find Each Other - they're more team-focused than the others; hand in hand was the first I wrote for TOG fandom and a true stroke of inspiration. Meant to Find Each Other is the only multi-chaptered fic I ever managed to finish, it spans through multiple time periods, and the AU it's set in is very close to my heart.

I don't know who has already done this, but I'll tag @ellynneversweet @raedear @gallifreyburning @nicolos @nicolodigenovas and anyone else who feels like it!

hey, I'm not in the Kaeloo fandom and I know you don't know me (I watch TMOM though), just wanted to stop by to say I'm sorry people have been harassing you. No one deserves to get hate for fictional writing.

Oh right! I should update everyone on Issue 15 part 2. I'm still waiting on the VA's goodbye messages, but I checked and I do still have the entire acted lines, so all I gotta do is match the finished images up with it. Should be done by the end of the year! <3

Not your fault, nonny. People don't like what they don't like. Being in a niche fandom like this is its own curse. The tiny things get blown out of proportion, stories get twisted, people get manipulated, and people who you thought were your friends leave instead of thinking critically. It isn't anyone's fault for that, it's how the atmosphere is nowadays.

The amount of death threats I've been getting (hello, I see you and your sockpuppets in my inboxes), the spamming of invites to my own fandom server (how dare there be more than one fandom server am I right fellas), the threats of raiding, the accusations, the hatred towards me specifically for 'writing NSFW of minors' which I never did (they're aged up and it was for psychology study and emotional growth; NOT for NSFW alone) when the fandomhead themselves likes said NSFW works, twisting my traumas I entrusted to someone I thought was a friend to make me into a horrible person, making indirect posts about me, 'callout' posts being written as if we're living in 2016 again, and the 'warnings' that I'm some kind of dangerous person despite the advocacy I've done and being a CSA survivor, it isn't worth calling out or bringing attention to, and to be fair, I haven't until this very message.

There's a lot I can say about it, but I know the fandomhead has done enough berating me in their space and involving people who don't deserve it, knowing they can 'warn' people about me before they even get to know me. Again, if that's the path they choose, it's the path they choose.

Fandom servers should be about the show/game/whatever you're into, not obsessing over drama like you're in high school. It really is a shame because I don't hate anyone or anything, even after all that's happened.

Funny enough this happened in the Cuphead fandom too. Ya try to be nice, try to help people, then boom: you're a groomer. That's the buzzword people use nowadays and it carries zero weight now, which is sick as a victim of it. Despite the hurt, it ain't the first time I've been called it and it won't be the last.

But what do I know, right? I'm just some faggot people don't know on the internet miles away from them who will never see these people, yet they obsess over me like I'm the biggest bomb to hit a tiny fandom. It's actually funny because just breathing the same internet space makes them irate, just like the Cuphead fandom. Its almost like there's a button to block things and people you don't want to see. People should utilize it a lot more, it isn't a bad button to use.

C'est la vie I suppose.

Writing Year in Review 2022

Just like for 2021, I meant to do another writing review for last year. However, things got in the way so this is a few days late. Due to personal issues, I didn't get as much writing done and not even get everything finished that I'd planned on, but alas... Here's to hope for 2023.

Number of stories posted: 1 revision, 1 WIP (cont.), 3 one shots, 4 ficlets for a writing challenge

Words written: approx. 10,300 (published)

Pairings written: Shawn/Hunter (WWE)

Currently in the works: 2 WIPs (cont.), 1 revision, 1 multi-chapter story, 2 one shots, 1 writing challenge (cont.)

Looking back:

- My favorite story that I published was probably "More Than I Deserve" because I liked how Shawn was being, well, 90s Shawn, and at the same time vulnerable. And I'm a sucker for clueless Hunter. :-D

- The biggest experiment definitely was "Catch The Rain" as it follows the whole set of lyrics of a song, just my own take on them. So that was different to write but at the same time a nice challenge.

- My proudest moment was indeed finishing a longer story that I'd mapped out the year before and that I hold very dear to my heart. Which leads me to...

Outlook 2023:

- I cannot wait to finally share above mentioned story. Due to life happening, it's still with my betas as it means so much to me that I want to it be as perfect as possible. The working title is "Sever" and it's a Shawn/Hunter story with a twist.

- I plan on continuing with the 30 days writing challenge sometime soon.

- I wrote more chapters to my really old WIP "Somewhere In The Fallout" last year and would really like to wrap that one up.

Fanfics posted in 2022

"C'est la vie" - Shawn/Hunter (friendship) (December 2020 – October 2021) - WIP (cont.)

After being forced to retire in 1998, Shawn continues on his path to self-destruction.

"More Than I Deserve" - Shawn/Hunter (slash) (November 2021/February 2022)

If Shawn was being honest with himself, there might be more than just friendly feelings towards the latest addition to their group on his part.

"To Happiness" - Shawn/Hunter (slash) (revised in February 2022, originally written in April 2011)

It’s Hunter’s wedding day – and for Shawn it’s still hard to let go.

"Enough" - Shawn/Hunter (slash) (February 2022)

A peaceful night on tour in Europe…

"Catch The Rain" - Shawn/Hunter (slash) (April 2022)

On a stormy night, Shawn has to deal with the reality of Hunter leaving him.

30 Days Writing Challenge - Shawn/Hunter (slash & friendship) (November/December 2022)

Prompt # 1 - First kiss (slash)

Prompt # 2 - No dialogue (slash)

Prompt # 3 - Use certain words (slash)

Prompt # 4 - Personal style (friendship)

(Writing Year in Review 2021)

8 days til i see the surgeon and hopefully have my stitches removed! and then a few more weeks of recovery afterwards and taking it easy with my right hand to give things time to heal properly and hopefully afterwards no more pain in my wrist

its pretty nice now, to actually bend my wrist and it not hurt in the same way it'd hurt since literally December of 2021 with the exception of May-September of 2022 when I'd had the cortisone shot to see if I'd be a good candidate for surgery.

I've been pleasantly surprised that despite the surgery it hasn't hindered my job all that much haha, my coworkers are pretty nice about my terrible handwriting right now and if I have to lift anything, everyone just sort of grabs it for me so that's been lovely. I can type just fine most of the time but if in a pinch I can type pretty fast with one hand anyway because well, I had to teach myself when I was in a wrist brace for 8 weeks last year haha.

My surgeon encouraging my job bc its working my fingers despite my job being the direct reason I had to have the surgery in the first place ladskfj irony.

one day soon im going to post this fic ive been working on....i really want to post it tonight but something about it doesn't feel right so, i guess im gonna stare at the doc a bit more and rework some things and then throw it all out to the internet and let it be y'all's problem tbh. Like I like my writing, don't get me wrong, but I get antsy when I sit on things for too long and this fic is sitting at just under 4k and I'm like toss it out there toss it out there but it doesn't feel right yet.

c'est la vie, i guess.

2023 (fr-en)

Mes plans de 2022:

Je voulais écrire des petites histoires et les publier chaque mois et je l'ai fait !

Malheureusement, il y a beaucoup de choses que je n'ai pas faites. Je devais éditer le premier jet (voire même jet 0) de mon histoire Le Mangeur de Péchés, mais ça me prend bien plus de temps que je ne pensais que ça me prendrait (pour être honnête, ça n'a pas été l'année idéale pour se concentrer...)

Si je me souviens bien, je voulais aussi faire des présentations de mes personnages mais j'ai été complètement paralysée par le "Mais est-ce qu'ils vont aimer mes amis??", donc, pas idéal.

En conclusion:

Ben, ça a été une année longue et bizarre. J'ai fait quelques trucs, je n'en ai pas fait d'autres. J'ai voulu discuter ou rencontré d'autres auteurs pour promouvoir un peu leurs travaux, mais je ne sais pas vraiment si j'ai réussi.

EN 2023:

Je ne m'étais pas mis la pression l'année dernière, je crois que je vais encore moins me la mettre cette année !

Je n'ai pas de plans précis, je crois que ma seule règle va être la suivante:

Les jours pairs, je travaille sur mes plus longs projets, que ce soit Le mangeur de péchés, Si Notre Vie Devait Se Terminer ou d'autres projets sans noms...

Et les jours impairs, je travaille sur mes projets les plus courts, comme mes petites histoires...

Qu'à priori je continuerai à poster une fois par mois, histoire au moins d'être un peu présente ici !

Et toi, c'est quoi, tes plans?

My plans for 2022:

I wanted to write prompts and publish them each month, which I did !

Sadly, there's a lot I didn't do ! I was supposed to edit the first (very rough) draft of my story The Sin Eater, but it's taking way longer than I thought it would be... (although, to be fair, things were not ideal this year for focus...)

I remember that I also wanted to make character introductions, but I've been paralyzed by "but will they like my friends??" so again, not ideal.

In conclusion:

Well, that was a long and weird year. Did some stuff, didn't do others. Wanted to reach out to other writers and promote more of their works but I don't really know if I've succeeded.

IN 2023:

I didn't stress about it last year, I'll even stress less about it this next year !

I don't have a particular plan, I think my only rule will be as follow :

On even days, I'll work on my longer projects, like The Sin Eater or If This Life Of Ours Has To End or some other nameless projects...

And on odd days, I'll work on my shorter projects, like my prompts...

That I'll continue to post once a month, in order to be at least a bit on here !

And you, what are you going to do?

My Year in Writing

The new years resolution was to post at least One Thing for each month of the year, and I did more than that. Here's my 12 favorites.

January: 3 Meetings and a Llama Fandom: DSMP

Okay, only one fic in January, but this was unapolagetically "me", pretty funny, and I managed to win my first battle with CSS for the year.

February: Anything to make me feel less numb Fandom(s): DSMP, Destiny

Lots to choose from in February, but I'm happy with the emotions in this piece AND it kickstarted my friendship with @/arcaneglitch which is wild to think we've only known each other that long.

March: I felt a Funeral, in my Brain Fandom: 3rd Life/Double Life

Another month with lots to choose from (48 hour exchange woo!) But look. It Had to be. My baby of an AU, the one that got away from me and the one I fell in love with. STILL damn proud of this one.

April: it makes a fiery ring Fandom: 3rd Life/Double Life

Only thing for April. C'est la vie.

May: Who's on first? Fandom: Double Life

You know what? This was my year of weird AUs and I'm Living for it. This was fun as hell to write.

June: I'm still here (but all is lost) Fandom: 3rd Life

Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair but the works are my continued battle with CSS. I'm fucking proud of this, AND I wrote it in like. A handful of hours. The writing is good too.

July: The known, the unknown, and the underknown Fandom: Destiny

Did you know I still write Destiny fic sometimes? Yeah! Anyway this was good and I love writing stuff with Team Cayde I should do it more often.

August: So in awe there I stood Fandom: Henry V

Ah, this was the month I got my hands on this film again and proceeded to get truly lost in the sauce. Still think this is my better work of anything for the month, and it was fun to poke around at his head. There's so much in that scene...

September: final focus Fandom: Henry V

A celebration of letting "good enough" be "good enough", this one was. I like occasionally just putting a snippet of dialogue together and then letting it float off into the wind like a butterfly.

October: Oberth Maneuver (Chapter 19) Fandom(s): DSMP, The Expanse

Mostly wins by default and the fact the conversation where they decide to chuck the Bell at Eros was really fun to write.

November: I hate to see you leaving (Fate worse than dying) Fandom: Henry V

See, I wrote a ton of ficlets for the spotify wrapped ask game but this was the only one I liked enough to crosspost. I think I nailed it, and I'm quite proud.

December: I feel like I win when I loose Fandom: Temeraire

My first fic for this fandom and the reason I waited until now to make this year in review post-because author reveals just happened. I'm doing a companion "fun facts/director's commentary" post in a second, but mostly... I love this. Another bit of me fighting with CSS for a really fun result even though the process made me want to cry.

And that's 2023! Hoping 2024 is just as good if not better.

So I had a dream last night that sparked a memory and train of thought so get ready for your very first long post, Tumblr.

Firstly, the dream: It started off as me exiting my old high school, I have had many a dream there so nothing too out of the ordinary, but before I left I had stopped off at the special ed class for some reason and had gotten to talking to a teacher, who had recognized me even though it was clear I had no idea who he was. He had recognized me, somehow, through a calendar from 1999 featuring autistic kids and four year old me was the cover for every month. I was shocked as this was the first I had ever heard of this, setting aside why this guy had a random outdated calendar that just so happened to have me on it because dream logic. I became furious as to why my parents would agree to me being in such a thing and why they'd openly tell the world that I was autistic when I had no way to give consent to the idea, but then it jumped to my dad telling me that they condoned this because he was proud of me regardless and that no matter who knew and how they treated me, that they loved me and wanted me to know that.

My thoughts:

Firstly to catch people up who don't know me: 1. Yes I am high functioning autistic 2. I was told I was first tested when I was four years old, which would have been 1999 3. Even after waking I do not know the teacher figure. I can't even remember his face now so I doubt it was of any importance. 4. Obviously the calendar doesn't exist. If it did I would assume we would have a copy and it would've shown up sometime. Plus I don't know why a calendar like that showcasing random autistic children would exist in the first place. 5. My dad, who has been deceased for seven years at this point, hasn't really talked to me about my autism or how they felt about it. Yes I recognize there's unresolved issues there and that dream dad was more or less just what my brain wanted him to tell me back when he was alive, but c'est la vie.

Later on I realized that this dream was tied to real life events that happened to me back in high school, and that it reflects in me how I feel today.

High School:

I was a band kid, so I got real chummy with other band kids. You fit in a clique as you do, and I had mine. The juniors and seniors, at least the ones in a particular music group that I was a part of, really seemed to enjoy my presence to the point that I preferred their company to kids my own grade at the end of freshman year. Sophomore year it stayed the same, but obviously sans the seniors from the previous year. Months into my sophomore year and I learn that all the older kids I had come to consider friends with learned that I was autistic, and I began to question the validity of their relationship with me. They hadn't treated anyone else, to my knowledge, the same as they would me, and I can attest I can be an annoying motherfucker at times. Then I would learn that everyone knew from one guy, who coincidentally was friends with my dad on Facebook. This guy I had considered a good friend, we had a good standing and were amicable to each other, however I cannot tell if it came from a place of genuine friendliness or if it was simply a façade of tolerance, like you'd see on any minimum wage worker at any retail store.

Obviously that idea spread to all the older people I knew; Did they really enjoy my presence or did they just tolerate it? Was I adding anything to their day or was I just something they had to go through and would avoid if the option arose? Then there was my dad; He had told me on a myriad of occasions that he loved me, never abused me physically, and while some of his jabs stung, I never got the sense of it coming from a place of disgust or animosity. I think he just didn't know where the boundary was and I was a quiet kid who didn't have a backbone. But I can't help but think. When expecting a kid, which mind you I have never been in the position in, I would imagine that you'd be helpless to dream up the kind of person they would become. What their experiences, which would be totally alien to you and completely unique to them, would ultimately shape them into the thinking agent they would become. What kind of human they'd be. But does anyone ever consider disability? Does anyone ever dream their kid being in a wheelchair? Does anyone ever dream their kid needing leg braces? Does anyone ever dream their kid needing special ed? a tutor? IEP?

Unless you have it yourself, or it runs in either genepool, assuming you're aware, does anyone ever consider their kids being disabled? I would assume that nobody would ever expect their kid being the one who needs wheelchair access, or who'd need a specialized tutor to help them with their dyslexia, or anything of the sort.

So why would my dad ever conceive of his son being the autist who can't make friends and is a total asocialite who'd rather spend their days indoors watching tv instead of making friends and playing around? I can't help but feel that, even now when I am nearing my thirties, and even seven years after he's gone, that deep down he was just the slightest bit disappointed, not in what I've done or who I am, but what I am. That I am not his expectation from when I was in his head. This unease, this unknowing, is without doubt the crux of my whole disquiet.

I now have trust issues with not just the people I know but now everyone. Do they genuinely like me, or am I but an occasional nuisance? Do they pity me and just put on a mask, or does it come from a genuine place of friendship? I think I've lost my ability to tell.

Cognitively I know that being autistic not something to be ashamed of, it's not an impairment of my cognitive ability or anything of the sort, but emotionally it's just hard to lose after you've dealt with this for two decades. When I was a kid I generally didn't like people knowing so that I didn't have to worry about the validity of their company, but since neither parent talked about it with me at all, and me being the spineless quiet kid, I never told them that I didn't like people knowing. Even now I tend not to tell people unless it's relevant, because I just don't know how they'll treat me or what they'll think of me.

I'll be the first to tell you that you shouldn't worry about what people think of you and that you should just do you, but I will confess that I do not practice what I preach. I worry that all that people see when the focus is me is just a blathering retard who just doesn't have a clue. That they'll never invest the time into me to really get to know me, because why bother.

I'm starting to doubt why I'm even bothering to continue at this point. I think I just want this off my chest. If you've made it this far don't bother sending a DM about this post I just want this out and gone.

I will say this though and that's where I think my parents went wrong. They got me tested at four but didn't intentionally tell me anything until I was around twelve, but I learned when I was eight. That's a story for another day I just can't right now. They always let me in to IEP meetings and whatnot but I just assumed everyone went through that. Yeah don't do that. Tell your kids as soon as you can. Explain it to them in language they'll understand. Make them understand. Talk to them directly about it and let them know that there's nothing wrong with them. Let them know they're not a let down or a failure but don't coddle them either. Communicate with them. Just don't let them be me. Don't let them doubt their relationships. Don't let them doubt their trust in you or anyone. There's good people out there, I know it, I know some, but my doubt always creeps in.

August 10th, An actual Redux

Decided to return to my deleted post early. Talked about 3 things I liked about 'Citizen Kane'. 1. The Cockatoo. I like slow movies, a movie can be slow and paced well, especially given how fast a lot of newer videos on the internet are. But, by 90 minutes in, I was a little tired. The Cockatoo woke me right up. 2. 'The Simpsons'. It was cool seeing just how much of the film 'The Simpsons' referenced, especially with Mr. Burns. The Vaudeville number? Wow. But it was also interesting seeing what had escaped general pop culture. Last year I watched 'The Planet of the Apes', LOVED IT, and found it really interesting that the first quarter, the human sci-fi exploration part, was never referenced. Less so with 'Citizen Kane' given how it is the most overanalysed film, but I thought it was going to be focused a lot more on politics. Didn't know it was going to be non-linear and a focus on the ethics of journalism, which as we all know was what gamergate was really about (sarcasm). So yeah! 3. Plot Hole. In 'Toy Story', Buzz is a toy who doesn't think he is one. How does he know to act dead when a human appears? This is a plot hole I hear mentioned a lot. I have 2 things to say about it. a) It's very easy to rationalise. If you were on a strange planet, would you act like the friendly locals in a situation you perceive as dangerous to mitigate said danger? b) I'm a very particular person, I can focus on minor details like this that can take me out of the movie a bit. But if you can rationalise it with one line like I have, does it really ruin your enjoyment of the film? Does this ONE detail ruin it? I don't think so. The first scene of 'Citizen Kane' features the titular character dying. He says "Rosebud", drops a snow globe, and the nurse comes in later, covers him up, and takes him away. Who heard him say "Rosebud"? The Butler did. He said so right before telling his story. Granted, this happened right before the Cockatoo so it's easy to forget. But to have this kind of criticism you'd have to engage with the film pretty deeply and for the most overanalysed film, it's kind of embarrassing that this is a common criticism. Again, it's one detail. You're going to let THAT ruin your enjoyment? That was the first half. I think it was 3 times longer but c'est la vie. Anyways, the next section needs the start otherwise it doesn't make sense. I can't remember how I led into it so it's going to be a bit jarring.

We might have to move house at the end of the year. I really don't want to. My mum says that it won't change anything but I severely disagree. It will change everything, travel, interaction etc. It makes all the effort she's put "renovating" the house the past year or so pointless. But without a second full-time income we just don't have the resources to pay. I've offered to give half of my income but she doesn't want me to spend do that because I'll be worse of the future. I understand that but I'd still like to help out. I don't think having to move is fair. I really hope if we do have to move, it's still within this district. Recently, I started a new job. It involves working with children and I love it. I think I get along with people outside of my age range. And besides for a few people at my employment level, everyone is outside of said range. It's a much better alternative than lounging about at school, hoping that a friend has some time off from their "busy" schedule. My friends at Tertiary school I made back in Secondary school. They are all STEM students and all they do is complain (I get the irony). But they put themselves in this situation. No one forced them. The ones who have been pressured by their parents are the ones who don't complain. And it's so hard to have a conversation with any of them. Either they complain about school work, or they can only talk about one specific interest. It's like being forced to attend a lecture on a topic is uninteresting and told in a way that is unengaging. I don't mean to sound like a dick. I don't need to talk about the themes of 'Catcher in the Rye' or Hegelian Dialectics, but fucking rocks?! There's a friend of mine who for a month straight, whenever there was a moment of silence he would just talk about the different types of rocks. And that was it. It would be like if I just described how much screen time each Simpsons character had. And that's it. There's no meaning. And I know this guy can be a really engaging speaker. He did a 20 minute talk on how science can be hard to initially engage students. Beforehand, I did not care about the plight of the scienceman but by god if it wasn't one of the best things a peer did. But just talking about rock types or the different costumes of a Genshin character does not cut it for an engaging conversation. And I think part of it has to do with their hatred of English and the Humanities. I am often the butt of jokes because of my choice of studying, how easy it is, how childish it is. They often envy my life (I guess? don't know how else to phrase it) because of my "lucky" timetable. It wasn't lucky, I carefully planned it out so I had enough time to work and also have fun outside of both avenues of work. And I love my job! My friends envy me on a surface level. They see me walking about without any stress and they say "oh, wow I wish I could be as care-free and innocent as you". And then I describe the work I have to do for school, analysis of media sometimes, and my job and they say "oh, I could never do that". I know you can't! You're you and I'm me. I made my choices and I am happy with them. Why can't you be? Anyways, that's it. I will have more to say on their hatred of English another. Also forgot to reinclude my random thought about if video games are high art, another thing I will discuss at a later time. This isn't the end though, my previous entry is the "conclusion" to this. Now I got to run along and write a gratitude letter for someone. Lame!

how does Kronos get along with the rest of the rogues? (personally I always imagine the iceberg lounge as like... a micky's house of mouse situation visa vi villians, so I just kinda assume they all know eachother tangentially)

I've always liked the idea that they all at least have heard of each other! If not all at least had that one time where they were forced to work with someone for a mutual goal they otherwise wouldn't have. This is the start to most of Kronos' interactions with other rogues.

Iceberg Lounge is exactly how MOST of them met faer. Riddler got a taste of the tech when Kronos was still Zacharie--still civilian. I'm messing with the timeline of events a little, but all that matters is that there was a space of time between working with Riddler, and being kidnapped by Crane.

Oswald first, because I'm debating rewatching Gotham again. So, I have Penguin on the brain. They've worked together a few times, though fae doesn't trust him with the gadgets himself. (He would've loved to steal one, but he has no goddamn idea how to work them anyway...) As alluded to here, one of those times included Kronos jumping in to bail him out of trouble. They have a very mafia view of each other, if that makes sense... It's a relationship sustained mostly on debts one accrues to the other. There'd probably be something friendlier there if it weren't for all those years fae spent kidnapped...

Speaking of which: Joker. Fae and him have a very tense relationship. He was the other one who tried to kidnap faer pretty immediately after the source of Riddler's new gadgets got leaked... A bad start, according to a still civilian Zacharie... Though the attempt was thwarted by Crane, that was it's own set of bad omens and tragedies. These days, Kronos finds faerself wondering more and more how things would've gone if Joker had succeeded instead. Not great, fae imagined, but being worked to death like someone in a sweatshop seems preferable to the hell Crane showed faer. They had their own "fine, we work together" moment--much more tense on Kronos' end than Joker's. For the most part, Kronos avoids him like the creepy uncle at a family reunion, despite the faux friendly act Joker pulls with his favorite broken clock...

Zsasz and faer are oddly friendly all things considered. Kronos always wanted to ask him to teach faer how to shoot, but it's never felt right. He probably would, at least. Probably. Their meetings are more sparse and less professional, only crossing paths incidentally. He's never had a reason to kill faer, and Kronos has been very careful to not give him one. The one time things came close to Kronos interfering with a job, fae escaped with a bomb that slowed time, and an apology letter. He at least hasn't tried to turn faer to mincemeat yet, so Kronos assumes the apology and the prompt leaving of his target well and good in a spot to be killed bought faers life on that one. No matter how casual he is with faer, Kronos always reacts like a dog who's been hit before. Maybe it's for the best.

Two Face and faer used to talk. He was the closest thing to a link to Bruce that Zacharie ever had. Back when he was only one Harvey (mind the spelling!) After everything went wrong in Two Face's life, Zacharie was already a borderline hikikomori. How things changed for the both of them... When they met up again, they were both well and set into their personas. Kronos was younger before anyway, and they collectively viewed faer a bit like a punk kid trying to muscle into where fae didn't belong. To Vey, it's largely a "you aren't cut out for this" kind of thing (whereas Vie just doesn't like the idea of another guy trying to claim turf and such.) It didn't help that post-Crane, most of faers villainy was supported by Strange. They see faer kind of like the rich kid who got an early start on things via a loan from daddy, though Kronos really wants to reconnect with an old friend. C'est la vie.

The last one I can say has any real thought behind it thus far is Jervis Tetch. Hatter and faer are incredibly friendly, all things considered. Not even just like Zsasz, where fae is very convinced one day fae'll be the name on that hitlist! They just get along! It helps that a brunet with a goatee doesn't really fit the profile of his Alice(s) though. Fae also is smarter than to drink the tea he offers, though fae's been coerced before. They largely work together on much smaller projects--none of the giant heists other rogues contact faer about. The applications of each others research to (well) each other are fascinating to them both! Seemingly endless nights were spent pouring over each others notes, tinkering away at something they both saw as grander than it would've been otherwise... Though they worked together less and less as Kronos came into faers own, and perhaps a certain Hatter harbors some resentment over that. Perhaps fae should watch the drinks fae buys at the lounge very fucking carefully.

Mammon taking care of MC when they're sick

Warnings: illness

GN!MC (they/them, 2nd ppov)

Word count: 716

Mammon

Ignores Lucifer's orders to leave you alone in quarantine and breaks in the second Lucifer isn't paying attention.

"Don't worry MC! Remember, we're demons we don't get sick as easily as you do so I'll make sure you get all bet-"

He got sick too.

Now you're both in quarantine.

He'll definitely ask to stay in your room with you; and he makes good points in his defense. His room is large and always cold, it'd be easier for him to get sick like that, have some compassion MC! Also, keeping the illness to one corner of the house will help keep the spread to a minimum. You already have a separate bathroom and he has a second toothbrush there so it'll be no big deal, he just needs one of his brothers to bring him clean clothes every few days.

He'll understand if you'd rather be alone, so he returns to his room, but seeing as he doesn't have to go to school either, be ready for him to blow up your phone day in and day out. He'll get worried when you don't respond to him for long periods of time- he knows that fatigue could keep you knocked out for almost an entire day so he'll try to stay reasonable, but if you miss more than 20 texts from him, expect a phone call the second you're awake.

Even now with both of you sniffling and coughing a little, he likes falling asleep over the phone with you. If he still awake, he tries to stay on for as long as possible to make sure you're okay, even if his phone becomes hot to the touch.

Will try to keep you entertained to distract you from the worse of your symptoms, syncing up and watching a movie together if your headache is acting up, or if you're feeling better, a videogame marathon that the others can join in on too.

Will feel a little guilty if he gets better before you do.

If you do let Mammon stay in your room with you he is you're live in nurse. Kind of. He does his best but he's sick too and while he'd normally play it up to get you to coddle him, he didn't want to burden you even more.

You're both unconscious for most of the day and end up taking turns caring for each other when you are awake.

Mammon doesn't know much about humans or illness so he'll ask Satan for advice, mostly resorting to checking your temperature while your asleep and wiping off your forehead with cold water when you start to feel feverish.

He gets worried when he notices how many meals you skipped, ignoring your accusations when you say that he hasn't been eating either. So a mutual compromise, anytime the both of you were awake at the same time, you had to snack on something. While the other brothers were being a bit hard-ass on only eating healthy foods to get better faster, Mammon knew that it was easier said than done sometimes. So if the soup with mushy vegetables wasn't appetizing today, he'd swap it

"Are you sure this is okay?"

"You just need food in your stomach to take the medicine MC, last time I checked, bat chips and a little bit of soda absolutely count as food."

Mammon normally hates that he wakes up easily when he's sick, but is grateful for it now that he's heard your coughing. He gets worried when he hears you start coughing- choking- in your sleep. He pulls you up immediately, slapping you on the back, and doesn't go to sleep until he is sure you're okay or his exhaustion wins out.

Delirious talks at 2 am, feverish and sprawled on the cold stone floor, only your fingertips touching as he tells you old stories about his brothers and RAD, and you tell him about old injuries and friends lost to time.

Making increasingly petty demands of his brother just to see what you could get away with. You manage to get an entire snack cart, 4 entire new manga series, coloring books and crayons, and even get them to drag Mammon's couch to your room before they realize you're messing with them.

#no the first thing i wanted to post this year but c'est la vie #im not superstitious but starting the new year with covid doesnt seem like a good sign
