fics below the cut (listed in alphabetical order by title)

and even when we're wrong in every way, we come out on the other side okay, Bradley Bradshaw, @gretagerwigsmuse This was the first fic that I ever saw myself in the main character. Smart Aleck made me feel so seen. This fic scratches my brain in a way that I didn't know I needed. Their story has truly been a joy for me.

Dine In, Jake Seresin, @thedroneranger The first Jake fic that I loved. The beginning of me becoming a part-time Seresin Girlie and down bad for Mrs. Seresin.

Girls on Film, Robert Floyd, @topguncortez My first experience with the "Bob Fucks" agenda, and I have been changed ever since. I remember having to put my phone down and reset my brain after reading this because I was speechless.

Is It Working For You?, Bradley Bradshaw, @roosterforme The OG Baby Girl and Roo Series. I can't even describe how much I love these two. I wish I could go back and experience their love story for the first time.

One for The History Books, Bradley Bradshaw, @pisupsala I found this series when it was like 13 chapters in, and it was the first series I binged on Tumblr!

Parking Spots and Matcha Lattes, Jake Seresin, @withahappyrefrain My first experience with "Jake loves mean girls" and I am here for it. Again, Venus makes me feel so seen, and I am here for her (affectionately) being mean to Jake.

Mr. & Mrs. Bradshaw and the Hannix Family, @bradshawsbaby Okay, I know this might be cheating because they are collections not individual fics, but these are the very first things I EVER read in the fandom and made me a Hannix shipper and made me down bad for a man with a mustache.

Sub Rosa, Bradley Bradshaw, @sunlightmurdock This was my gateway into Katie's masterlist. Before their was TiP Rooster, there was Sub Rosa Rooster and the admiral's daughter. This was one of the first series I followed and religiously checked for updates.

You Get Me Closer, Bradley Bradshaw, @thedroneranger My comfort one shot! This was the first fic that ever made me go "holy fuck that was hot" and immediately re-read it. I can't tell you the number of times I've read it or will read it because the limit does not exist.

Creator's Own

Until I Found You, Bradley Bradshaw This is one of my fluffiest fics and has zero emotional damage!

ᴺᴱᵂ false god, Bradley Bradshaw Shameless plug for my newest series that is a (sorta) Greek Mythology!AU. It's a slow burn between my beloved Bradley Bradshaw and the Queen of the Underworld herself, Hades. And in true Nik fashion, it's going to put you through the ringer.

[fools-fall-much-too-soon]

I've been a big fan of Leon for over a decade... WAY before he got turned into a sex symbol on tiktok... Back when people mostly just saw him as a cool action hero. Since he got popular again, it's been hard to find fans that see him as a complex individual. Worse, most posts about him are really sexual or just about his looks.

It makes me wonder how he'd feel if he knew. Like we all know how Leon feels about being used... Do you think most of the people around him really only like him bc he's hot? Would he be aware of that?

I think he'd HATE only being seen as something to get off to. I think it'd make him feel sad/disgusted/used.

I wonder if any of the fans consider that... It's not like I think it's bad to make sexual content of fictional characters, and I can't say that I don't also find Leon very attractive. It just pains me to see so little content about him that isn't about his dick and balls.

edit: BRUH I WAS TYPING IN THE TAGS AND ONE OF THE FIRST SUGGESTIONS AFTER TYPING HIS NAME WAS LITERALLY "Leon smut". PROVES MY POINT. like UGH it's so annoying how prevalent it is. WHAT IF HE WAS ACE. Would you even care? Is he only important to you to get off to? GAH!

Edit #2: I think if anything, Leon would use casual sex as a form of self harm. In all of the supplemental material about him, he's described as someone who gets really attached to people very quickly and is very loyal. I just can't imagine him enjoying crazy sex. He's wholesome, kind, and gentle... he had been since his introduction in og re2.

We also know that he is prone to bad habits when he's in emotional pain. I think after losing a girlfriend, getting used by Ada then watching her "die", and just the whole Raccoon City Incident, he'd be at high risk of his self-destructive behavior. With his heart all torn up like that, the only way I could see him having sex w new ppl would be to make himself feel guilty and bad after. It would take him a WHILE before he'd be okay to even start to consider a relationship after that. Definitely not with any of the weirdos here who only think of Leon in relation to what he could be to them.

Writer Q&A Tag Game

Thank you to @winterandwords for tagging me in this one! I love Q&As, I don't care what the questions are!

1. What motivates you to write?

The pursuit of fame and fortune.

Just kidding. No, in all honesty, there was a time when I was obsessed with writing for the market. I still want to make money with my fiction someday, I'm not gonna lie. But actually, it's always been about telling stories that I know no one else will tell and that need to be told. If I'm that invested in a story, nothing will stop me from finishing it.

2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)

This is the last section of the opening chapter of The Adored. And it's going to get changed, so don't get too attached. But the gist of it has stayed through all drafts:

CW: Mention of teen females (consensually?) groping a teen male:

Hell, before this year, he’d never left the state of Minnesota. He and Afton didn’t eat pie on a boat on their first date, either. They didn’t even have a first date. But he’s let the world believe it, along with a million other lies that look pretty under pastel filters and amazing in 200 characters or less. Lies that dance center stage, that come alive under the lights. The lies are Afton’s truth. Thayer’s truth. Social media’s truth.

But they aren’t ours. Micah's and my truth is different. It’s underground, rotting in basements and prison cells, and all the dark places he still prays never to have to go back to. It’s about the night I saw Afton with a man in a dark Jaguar that turns Micah pale when he sees it, about the chains that still choke his heart and soul. It’s the jagged puzzle whose pieces he relied on me to put together, then told me never to reveal — the whats, but not the whys.

It’s why we’re really quitting.

But there’s one last truth. It’s what he’s trusting me to find. Me, the gawky giraffe in borrowed Balenciaga, with a bass she can barely play. The blurry face in the background. The tacked-on name at the bottom of the story. Bandmate Isley Nash.

I want to ask him, why me?

But before I can, it’s over. He throws himself backward off the stage. His body arches through space like a supernova. This is the moment they’ve been waiting for. They caress him, groping his hair, his legs, his junk. His eyes close. He’s lost. He’s theirs. For them, there’s only tonight.

And unless I find that truth, tonight is all there will ever be. 

3. Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?

Micah (see above) is a reluctant teen rock star, a defiant rebel, a deadpan snarker, a (probable) murder victim, and my OG sad boi, so I'm always going to go with him.

4. What process of writing do you enjoy the most?

Editing. Drafting is trying to make something out of nothing, which is torture. Editing, meanwhile, is sculpting something you create (which is almost always terrible to start off with) into something good, which is fun and fulfilling. I will vomit unreadable, ungrammatical crap onto the page just so there's something there to edit when I go back. For me, that's where 99% of the real work of writing gets done.

5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

Dialogue! I think my dialogue is often funny and entertaining. Can I say that? I'm saying that.

6. What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?

Getting tagged to fill out Q&As like this and ramble about myself ad nauseum! No, seriously, the community I've found on Tumblr has amazingly changed my life in the best way -- and I've really only been here a few months! Here, I've found talented writers, engaged readers, and all-around wonderful human beings, who do not only NOT judge me for my bizarre tastes, but in many cases actually share them. Finding a community like that is rare enough in the internet hellscape where we often find ourselves, let alone IRL, and I will be grateful for it always.

7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

I've reluctantly come around to Grammarly, even though I snobbishly thought I didn't need it. Oh, and chatGPT. No, I'm kidding. I have tried it out, though. (Haven't we all?)

8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)

CW for discussing slavery in a clinical, dispassionate way (IDK, might be a trigger for some).

I've long thought you can't really understand or write about slavery without understanding the basic economics behind it, whether historically or in a fictional context. In most fiction with institutionalized slavery, it's either completely controlled by a dystopian government or by one single, massive company. To me, neither seemed realistic, and I think this is where this world differs from other related ones. In the world of GSNBTR, slavery is like any other sector under capitalism: it's multiple businesses of various sizes and with different niches competing against each other for customers, while being regulated (relatively lightly) by the government (as lobbied for by special interests, of course). And that also means thinking hard about the kinds of roles slaves would be likely to fill in a modern society built on that system, where they come from (likely many different places), who would own, trade, and manage them (whether government, corporations, or individuals) and how they would be likely to be used -- ie., it's not just domestic servants and sex workers, in fact, those are likely the minority of slaves. The majority are fast-food workers, landscapers, cleaners, dishwashers, farmworkers, general laborers, etc. etc. I suspect some are also used in the entertainment industry in some capacity (i.e. some actors/musicians/athletes are literally owned by movie studies/record companies/sports leagues), but I haven't really puzzled this out in detail. This stuff isn't necessarily fun to think about, but it's a must in a story like this, and I definitely did spend a lot of time thinking about it.

9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

Are you writing what you really want to write? Always write what you want, not what you think you should. And if you can't write just for yourself, write for just one person. The rest of your audience will come naturally.

10. Tag some people whose works you love/have been your biggest supporters

I have to of course start with the talented writers whose work was so amazing it drew me in and got me to stay: @little-peril-stories @starlit-hopes-and-dreams

And then, to my astonishment, they reached out to support me and my own work, at times in ways far beyond anything I ever could have imagined. 💕

And then! On various levels, I've been lucky enough to know and interact with @i-can-even-burn-salad @whither-wander-whump @rickie-the-storyteller @mysticstarlightduck @painful-pooch @tabswrites @burntcoffeewhump, and @winterandwords!

And there are so many more great folks that I'm only just starting to discover, such as the following I'll gently tag (as well as OPEN TAG for anyone I mentioned above -- since you're already here, after all -- and anyone else reading this! 😂)

@romanceandshenanigans @digital-chance

[hitaka5ever]

With Twitter finally dead (it should've died months ago but I digress) Twitter peeps are coming back, so I want to suggest some things for a lot of the art folks returning (but only if you want to)

Tag your art posts as #my art so its easier to find your art on your blog

Please make reblogging art posts a habit instead of just liking them. Tumblr doesn't use stupid algorithms, you and everyone that follows you can only see things if you reblog them. The only good thing likes are for is making people feel good. Otherwise they help no one get seen

Make an art blog for people who are only interested in seeing art and not personal stuff. Its super simple to make a side-blog and to change which blog to post stuff to (the only downside is remembering to switch to your personal)

Tag your art posts well. There used to be a "1st 5 tags appear in tag search" feature, but they've bumped them all the way to 30 (last I heard was a few months ago, so idk if that's changed since then) Only tag with relevant information, otherwise you will be reported for spam

Please share artists' commission posts when you see them. With Artificial Images (AI) taking over, real artists are struggling to keep going. For many, art is the only way they can make money bc of disabilities. Support marginalized groups by sharing their commission posts and art

Some people are okay with you tagging them in your OG posts. If you're not sure a user is fine with it, put "please ask to untag". Its not super common practice yet, but it has helped. Feel free to tag me in your posts bc as a struggling artist with no job myself, I want to help others as much as I can, and I will always reblog and Q up art posts (bc post limit (upoading, reblogging, and answering public Asks) is 250)

If you love an artist's work and want to see MORE of it, then you have to reblog it. Leave comments in their replies (if they have them open) and tags to show artists that people still love them and their beautiful works of art. A nice comment goes a LONG way for a lot of folks!

If an artist has merch, Tumblr has an Artist Alley for you to view and buy things from your favorite crafters and traditional artists (if anyone knows the correct tags to use, please let me know so I can add them here)

Feel free to add to this list, as I'm sure I'm missing things

PS: If there are people that aren't kind and humble, just block them, don't engage. You'll have a far better blogging experience if you do this. If someone is tearing down your art bc they're jealous twats, always block. Just be kind to people on here and ignore shitheads

Edit: Changed the wording to not put pressure on anyone since ultimately you get to decide what to do with your blog 👍🏻

[megamindsupremacy]

preface: so I started following bc of all the excellent dc posts, then also saw you have a dcxpjo crossover tag and was excited about that. Since then I watched dp because of the avalanche of new posts on my dash I needed to understand (the fandom seems way better than the show)

my question is: has anyone ever done something with danny phantom characters and magnus chase? Dead immortal teenagers with superpowers being the common factor here

Okay, so I went and checked ao3 and there appears to be three DPxMagnus Chase fics, two in English and both of the "throw twenty fandoms into one fic" variety. I haven't actually seen any DP/Riordianverse fics, aus, headcanons at all, which surprises me now that I think about it because PJO is a fairly large fandom and it gets crossed over pretty often.

I think a crossover with Danny Phantom and Magnus Chase would be wild, honestly. Magnus learning that ghosts are real and being like "yeah, fuck it, sure, why not, i guess ghosts are real, it's not like my afterlife isn't batshit insane enough already". Danny finding a hotel full of quasi-immortal kindaVikings that all kill each other on a regular basis and being vaguely concerned for all the inhabitants before remembering its Not His Problem and doing a 180 into having the time of his life starting shit. Danny haunting the halls of Hotel Valhalla while housekeeping tries to vacuum him off the ceiling and the entire time Magnus is just like "I don't know this guy, I have never met this dude before in my afterlife, this is definitely not my fault."

Also, (I Will put the ghost king au in all of my headcanons) Magnus being confused about the Realm Full of Ghosts Danny is in charge of, which includes gods (ghost-gods? ghosts of gods? gods of ghosts? ??) and trying to figure out how the ancient pantheons fit into it. Which is my excuse to share this snippet I wrote forever ago and never had a chance to use anywhere. It was literally just me trying to figure out how other afterlives fit into a universe where the ghost zone exists

“Hades?” Danny turned to [idk some stand in dude]. “Which Hades are we dealing with, here?”

“Neo-pagan, my lord.”

“Thanks.” Danny turned back to [original asker of question]. “Yeah, I’d rather just let Hades do his thing. Neo-Pagan Hades is pretty chill, but I don’t want to upset him over something like this.”

“What do you mean, ‘Neo-Pagan’ Hades?” [og asker of question]

“There are all sorts of gods,” Danny explained, eyes giving off the green glow that sometimes came when he was explaining something. Sam called them his ‘professor eyes’. “As king of the dead, I rule over all death gods, from all pantheons. Gods, unlike other entities, are sustained through belief- that’s what makes some gods splinter off from each other and create new ones. Beliefs change over time though, and sometimes the same god is created, but a little different. There are a few incarnations of the really old gods running around, those guys are a pain to deal with. Their neo-pagan versions tend to be more reliable, chill.”

“And sexy,” [stand in dude] piped up.

Danny sighed. “And sexy.”

also headcanon that the various afterlives are all alternate dimensions within the ghost zone formed and sustained from the belief of the occupants

edit: i had more thoughts

5 Songs - QL Show Edition

Tagged by @thatgirl4815 - thank you for tagging me!

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL media that you actually listen to.

🎶They do not have to be custom-made for the series.

🎶Non-western tracks only. Let’s support Asian music and languages!

🎶Feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.

🎶Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favourites!

So I challenged myself to only put one song per artist/show here, elsewise over half of the answers would be the same artist, lol.

Anyway, without further blathering, my list:

Over the Moon (Eclipse OST) - hands down one of my favorite songs ever, not just from QL. I love everything about it, and it's one of the few songs I never skip, even if I'm not really in the mood. It has the ability to take me right back to watching The Eclipse for the first time, and how much I loved that damn show (and Akk, favorite character in just about anything ever). It just puts a sort of wistfulness in my chest and then just makes me want yet another rewatch. Also I just love Khaotung's voice. I said it. I don't think I've heard an OST he's done and not loved it.

It's Always You (Between Us OST) - Pretty much same as the above, really. I know that this show wasn't for everyone but it caught me and caught me hard, and this song will take me right back to that feeling every time. Just hearing the intro makes me a little misty, lol.

Follow (My Beautiful Man OST) - It was really a tossup between this one and "Bitter" from S2, but this is the OG and I was obsessed for a long long time so it nudged it out. I just love it - it's Kiyoi Sou, right there in a song - all arrogance and confusion and desperate need to be adored. Impeccable.

Sunshower (Eternal Yesterday) - Yet again, a song that just flings me right back into the place where I was watching this show that I knew was going to break me and yet unable to stop because it was just that good. I adore this song - it's wistful but hopeful at the same time, and despite how much that show broke me I can't listen to this without smiling (now, that is). Also just have to plug the show for a sec - it's so good, great chemistry and amazing performances and has the best confession scene I've personally watched yet. Third episode is perfection and honestly I can't recommend it enough if you can handle it. I love it so much (might actually be time for a rewatch).

Closer (Cupid's Last Wish OST) - Have I ever gone on here about how much I love this show? Because I do. It's so much fun, and this song perfectly encapsulates that. Every time I hear the song I get a little happy inside, and it's also really great to put on while driving. It's a song made for montages, lol. And it's got all the charm of the show - no seriously, CLW is super charming, I can't believe I almost didn't bother with it because I was afraid it would do the "I love you, not your body" thing (fine in theory, not my favorite thing when it comes to queer media specifically). Now it's one of my comfort shows. Rewatch it all the time when I need to smile. Mix's and Earth's voices complement each other really well, too.

Honorable Mentions: Let's Try (I can't with that high note okay I just sat there gaping at my PC the first time I heard it), I'm Not Boring You're Just Bored (introduced me to Tilly Birds, thank you Jojo (and trailers totally count hush)), Your World, My World, Strange Days, Go Sign, Bitter (as mentioned above), Kiyoi Sou's Theme (instrumental but it's so good),

Not tagging anyone because I don't know who has been, but if you are reading this and you haven't been tagged please consider this your invitation to play. But please tag me so that I can read the answers!

Chapter 46

Words: 2084

Rating: teen and Up

Tags: Can Wind get away in time? Also there is some cussing here be warned.

Also, the text was funny and made my OG text black? Im in dark mode so i changed the color to yellow so it can be seen. Im sorry in advance for how ugly she is.

EDIT: OKay. so i changed the text color but when she posted it changed it back to black and i dont have the energy to re-color every individual paragraph. Im sorry fam.

PSA- I had an annoucement last week on Ao3 and now the chapter numbers are off so don't worry!

Chapter 45 and Chapter 47

A03

Fire crackled. Steps walked around, squishing and plopping in the mushy earth. Wind felt mud seeping into his clothes, hair, and skin. It left him feeling chilled despite the sweat coating his brow. His mouth felt puffy and swollen. Swallowing was difficult, breathing more so. The Phantom Sword rested heavy in his hand, weighing his hand down and making it impossible to move. At least he was armed. That is, if he could manage to lift his sword enough to fight. 

Wind felt a presence settle next to him. Water sloshed onto his arms, staining his shirt. Goosebumps riddled his skin, making him feel nauseous at the sudden temperature change. The water made him aware of the burning in his chest. Injuries flared to life as the person next to him started poking his arm to grab his attention. 

“Geez, you sure the shrimp didn’t die out there Tez? He hasn’t moved since you put him here.” 

An exasperated sigh, “I swear to Hylia, leave the kid alone. If he wakes up we help him,” 

“But what if-”

“But he’s not going to get better if you keep messing with him, you daft idiot. I’m going to join the patrol, just watch him, got it?” 

Mud splattered onto him as the person stood and walked away, “Well fine. Forgive me for worrying…” a much quieter addition, “asshole.” 

Wind tensed. There were so many red flags in that conversation alone. He was wounded, tired, and surrounded. There was no way he wasn’t getting out of this without confrontation. It didn’t help that he wasn’t a smooth talker like Wars or just plain charming like Sky. Wind felt his hand creak and pop as he tightened his grip on his sword. Wind gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up through the pain. 

“Oh shit the shrimp is alive.” Rude. He couldn’t look that bad. Wind leaned against his hand for leverage to steady himself. Quickly toweling the crust off his eye he made sure to glare at the voice the second he was able to see their face. 

It took everything in him not to react. 

A perplexed Yiga stared back at him.

______________________________________________________

The horror stories that Wild had warned them with flashed through his mind with unexpected clarity. They had all laughed at Wild’s over-exaggerated poses and acting as he told how he out-smarted the assassins time and time again on his journey. Wind hadn’t thought it concerning before, but now? After the whole experience with the thieves and monsters, Wind didn’t think Wild was exaggerating. They were wearing red leotards and Wind spotted some bananas off to the side, currently untouched. 

Wind was certain that in better circumstances, he would have no problem out-witting them or fighting these two off, but Twilight’s voice in the back of his mind chided him for things like overworking himself and being reckless. (He was a Hero of Courage, didn’t being reckless come with the territory?) Unfortunately, Wind groaned internally, he was going to have to think his way through this. Wind barely managed to not flinch as his hand spasmed when he tried to grip his sword better. Why was it burning? He wanted to check it out but he didn’t trust the Yiga not to try something if he showed any more weakness. Well… any more than passing out and having to be saved from getting his head cut off but a stupid lizaflos. Hylia, how embarrassing. 

“Kid, yo kid!” Wind jerked back into the present.The Yiga's face was closer to him than he thought. He subtly shifted backwards as the man began to talk, “Dude, I thought you died. Damn, I lost the bet. I’m gonna have to pay up after they get back from patrol.” 

Patrol? Wind filtered the information for later while trying to swallow his growing anxiety. Wind was strong but he knew his limits. He had a feeling fighting a group of Yiga was far more difficult than being chased by lizaflos after a rough night. 

It left only one path for him to take. One that brought a smirk to his mind’s eye. He could already see Tetra cackling. 

Time to bullshit his way out of this, like a true pirate. 

___________________________________________________

 Fortunately, Wild had given Wind plenty of source material to work with. Although he didn’t have a handy, dandy tablet with magic he did know their weakness and it was sitting right behind the babbling Yiga who was still sitting too close for comfort. 

To think bananas would be his saving grace. 

Wind let the Yiga talk to himself, slowly forging a plan in his mind. It was stupid. Reckless was only the tip of the iceberg. It depended completely on how gullible these Yiga were. If everything worked out then Wind would be gone before the rest returned from patrol.

Step One: Bring attention to the bananas. 

Wind forced a grin as he was forced to pay attention to the guy rambling about tactics, slippers, and his favorite banana desserts. Wind managed to grab his attention when the Yiga paused to take a breath between subjects. 

“Actually, some bananas sound great right now. I’m a bit hungry after almost dying.” He made a big show of glancing around the campsite, “Ah! What about those bananas?” He smiled his best “I’m totally innocent, you can trust me” smile, “They’re your favorite right?”

The Yiga scratched the back of its head, “About that,” they looked down, “those are the boss’s bananas, we can’t eat those. Patrol was supposed to bring something back but….they’re taking longer than expected…” They trailed off, looking away from Wind.

Wind let the silence sit for a moment, “Well!” The Yiga jumped. “Does anyone else have something to eat?” 

“Um….no?” Well shit that was a problem. He really was hungry. This guy seemed like a nice person except for the glaring fact that they served in a cult bent on serving Ganon. Never mind, he’d have to skip the “snack” part of his plan. 

Sad,  but the show must go on.

Step Two: Stand up

Easier said than done. But Wind had done so in worse conditions (maybe). Wind slowly stretched out, wincing at the popping joints. Hylia, he was stiff. His battered body screamed in protest making Wind’s eyes water. Regardless, he smiled brightly at the Yiga. If he could see his face they’d probably look incredulous. But he couldn’t. All he could see was their dumb mask.  “Better get something then. Don’t want to starve out here right?” Wind gathered his things slowly, careful not to pull the wounds on his chest too much as he slung the -now suspiciously lighter- bag over his good shoulder before finally strapping his sword to his waist and walking away. 

Step Three: Make them underestimate you. 

The Yiga seemed to finally snap out of his stupor. They scrambled to catch him. “Hold on kid!” Wind stopped for a second, sparing the staggering Yiga a glance. “You can’t just leave!”

Wind blinked, “Why not?”

The Yiga sputtered, “Because!” They stood next to Wind, still too close in Wind’s opinion. “I gotta watch you before Tez and the others get back. You leave and I get my ass handed to me!” 

That sounded like a personal issue, but Wind kept up the charade, “Sorry man but I just wanna stretch my legs and maybe find a snack. I won’t go far I promise.” They looked at him for a second before sighing. 

“Fine, but stay close. The others should be back any minute.” 

Wind gave a mock salute, “Of course!”

Step Four: Lose the chump.

The plan was moving along without a hitch but WInd wasn’t out of the woods yet. Now the hardest part would be to sneak away from camp, avoid the patrol and  monsters, and somehow find Elenor who was probably losing her mind. A vivid image of Elenor running round swinging her ax at anything that got too close filled his mind. Wind shivered. He’d better get out of here as fast as possible and find her before she traumatizes the local wildlife. 

Wind walked at a leisurely pace away from the campsite.The Yiga watched him from the fire. Seems like he was serious about making sure Wind didn’t leave. Wind gave a bright smile and walked towards the abandoned village, making sure to look thoroughly at trees and the ground as he went. He periodically checked to see if the ninja was still watching. When their eyes were averted, Wind quickly dashed into an abandoned house. It stank of rotten wood and mold. The floor had sunk into the swamp long ago, forcing Wind to carefully walk through debris, mud, and stagnant water until he reached the doorway. 

Wind wasted no time in picking a direction. The house opened onto what remained of the village pathway. It was overrun with weeds and scattered pieces of houses that had been destroyed in the Calamity. The village was silent, there were no signs of life. Wind strained his ears to hear for anything approaching as he darted from house to house in what he hoped was the correct direction. The faster he got out of here and back on the road the safer he would be. The Yiga wouldn’t attack him on neutral ground right? It was a longshot. A longshot that depended on the Yiga adhering to the rules of common decency but it was all Wind could think of to do. After all, stables were right off the roads and the last stable seemed downright hostile to the thought of any Yiga breaching the perimeter. If he waited, maybe Elenor could find him there. Wind didn’t want to entertain the thought of traveling the rest of the way alone.It pulled at his heart just thinking about it. 

Shaking his head, Wind refocused on the moment. He’d have to worry about finding Elenor after getting out of this situation. Wind had moved through several houses now and that the one Yiga had most likely started looking for him. He had to keep moving if he wanted to escape. Water overtook the path ahead. The houses up ahead looked to be in a worse state than the ones before as well leaving Wind hardly any cover to hide against. It was suspicious that he hadn’t seen anything, or any-ninja, since ditching that one back at camp. Lukewarm water touched his calves as Wind crouched in the reeds in an attempt to camouflage himself. Fireflies lit up the grasses as their nightly dances began. The sun was rapidly approaching sunset as Wind darted through the rubble. No monsters had shown themselves. Wind was starting to think there weren’t any here. Perhaps the patrol had gotten rid of them all? The possibility didn’t sit well with him. That would mean these Yiga were stronger than he thought.

Well, it wouldn’t matter if he got away. Wind spotted another raised area that was dry. Several houses lay crumbling on top of it. Some cover was better than being exposed out in the middle of the field like a lost pig waiting for their shepherd. He banked towards it, hoping to find a clear path to the exit. Wind risked standing at his full height to alleviate his cramping legs. The first house was impassable. The roof lay in chunks on the ground, forcing Wind to go around the outside. He crouched behind a barrel for a moment’s reprieve when muffled footsteps shuffled nearby. Heart in his throat, Wind forced himself to keep breathing slowly as they stopped for a moment and continued getting louder as they got closer to his position. Standing slowly, Wind silently cursed the sealed top of the barrel. He couldn’t pry it off without revealing his location. He walked slowly backwards, ears trained on the sound ahead of him. He’d have to retreat to the field and find another route. Wind kept walking, crouched slightly in case he had to run. The steps were getting louder, the crunching gravel like fireworks in the night as Wind began speedily retreating towards the other side of the house. The footsteps, thank Hylia, retreated, Wind waited until he couldn’t hear anything before turning back the way he came. 

He had just made it to the edge of the field when a hand gripped his shoulder in an iron grip. Wind looked back. A tall imposing ninja jeered, “Well, what do we have here?”

🥰Crush On The Second Floor🥰

Part 3-20

Summary: You just recently moved to the second floor of an apartment complex. But too much to you're enjoyment Peter Parker...YOUR CRUSH lives in the same apartment complex but a few floors above you.

Extra:

Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker but in Tom Holland's living condition. So living with Aunt May in an apartment instead of an actually house.

Reader gender neutral

Lot's of edits because the OG draft of this story was with Tom Holland's Peter but I strongly SIMP over Andrew Garfield

Tag List:

@paw-sneeze

"Hey, Penis Parker!" Flash spoke as you rolled your eyes in annoyance. "Hello, asshat." You spoke up for Peter, you were tired of Flashes shit. You hated him bullying Peter. Flashed glared at you and slammed his hands on you and Peter's desk. You got pissed, you didn't like him looking at you like that so you stand up slamming your hands on the desk too.  "Sticking up for Penis parker, are you? How interesting."  You glared at Flash.

"Leave his ass alone! I've had enough of you bullying him daily!" Flash gasp. "Me? bullying? I do no such thing." You ball your hands into fists and peter grabbed your arm trying to calm you down. He's never seen you like this. "I'm done with shutting up! Listen here you filthy little shit!" You pull away from Peter and grab Flash by the collar of his shirt. "I haven't bullied him" Flash still insisted.

"I'm too mature for something so childish." You still hold his collar tight and glared harshly at him. "oh? well, if you're so mature now. Then I think it's time you grow up!" You put all your force into it and shove Flash to the floor, or well try to. He ends up getting shoved into the table behind him before falling in pain holding his back moaning in pain.  "Bully him again I won't be as nice." You sit down in your seat like nothing happed and Flash ran to his seat as the teacher walked in. "What was that about?" The teacher asked Flash and of course, he told on you along with the rest of his friends.

"L/N go to the principles office, Violence is not tolerated in my classroom!" Your teacher yelled at you in front of the class. You sigh collecting your things before walking out of the class with one last look at Peter. Peter looked well you didn't really know you couldn't read his face. You quickly look at the floor and walked out of the classroom heading to the principles office. After about an hour wait you were allowed to go see the principal. Reaching the door to the principles office you open it fearfully. "Excuse me."

"Come in." You hear a stern female voice on the other side of the door. "Okay." You open the door slowly before walking in shutting it behind you and taking a seat in a nearby chair. "L/N right? Your teacher told me you started a fight with a classmate." You slowly nodded. "Yes, ma'am but in my defense, he was picking on my friends and bullies my friend daily." The principal looked at you. "I will deal with that as well but that still doesn't excuse your actions. Normally I'd suspended you but seeing as it's your first time getting in trouble. I'll only give you a week of detention." You nodded rapidly.

"Thank you so much! Umm, may I go back to class?" "You may just behave yourself." You nodded leaving the office and going to 3rd period, having to have missed the second period due to being in the office. You enter you're 3rd period and see Peter but don't sit beside him like you normally would you feel like he's probably mad at you. You avoided him during lunch and 4th period. After school you leave, not waiting for peter you didn't wanna see him mad at you.

Not going to the apartment you, you walk alone for a while till you see a familiar car drive to you and Harry steps out the car. "Y/N Mr.Osborn wants to know if you wanna help with his new project with him" she nodded. "Of course, plus it'll get my mind off what happened today." Harry nodded and opened the car door for you. You get into the car Harry closing the door as you got in before he went to the driver's side. Once Harry got into the car he drove you to Oscorp.

Once you reach Oscorp you get out of the car before Harry could open it. Quickly walking to Norman Osborn's lab, you weren't stopped by security even without a pass they knew your face so they'd let you through. Once at Norman's lab you push the door open with a lot of force more so than needed.  "Okay kid, what's the matter?" You sigh. "That obvious?" Norman nodded looking at you a bit worried, he's become a father-like figure to you and you were like his kid even if you weren't actually his kid. 

"So what happened kid?" You walked over and sat in front of Norman as he put the test tubes he was working on down giving you his full attention. "Well, this guy flash was bullying my Crush, So I stepped In and gave him a piece of my mind but ended up shoving him into a table...then got in trouble with the teacher and I got detention for a week. But that's not what's pissing me off, I'm pissed or well more worried and scared Peter hates me now..." Norman shakes his head. "Kid you did the right thing. I'm sure Peter isn't mad at you." You smiled. "Thanks, dad" You laughed a bit and Norman smiled with a roll of his eyes. "Now let's get to work kid" You nodded.

 "What do you want me to work on?" Norman had gone back to working on test tubes. "Near Doctor Octavius's half of the lab is a tube with snake DNA" You nodded, walking to Octavius's half of the lab you see the tube and grab it but bumped into the table. Causing bottles of things to fall and you to slip. You hit the floor hard and got a huge cut on your arm from a broken glass bottle. whatever was in that bottle was now in your body along with all the other strange chemicals that were on the floor and spilled on you. Norman heard glass hit the floor and a thud worried he turned around seeing you bleeding and on the floor with a bunch of chemicals, but not actual chemicals, more specifically snake blood. Octavius was experimenting with it, same way that Norman was experimenting with Spiders with the help of O'Conner.

"Oh, my god kid!" Norman helped you up and sat you in a chair. "I don't feel so good," You said as Norman sat you in a chair, your vision blurry and you slowly losing consciousness. "Kid stay awake." You try to stay up but pass out. The last thing you see is a panicking Norman and a concurred Harry walking into the room.

math can in fact lie to you because being 5% done with something sounds yikes and being 1/20th of the way is more of an "oh, hey"

[dragoknitter]

Hey y’all get ready for some

Danny Phantom Fanfic Recs

Okay, these are all either multi-chapter fics, or series that contain multiple connected one-shots. A separate list for singular one-shots will go up sometime later. I’m not tagging anyone because I’m not sure if some authors even have a Tumblr.

Completed fics are marked with 👻, and in-progress fics are marked with ❌

Keep in mind that these are in no particular order of interest, just whichever ones I strongly recommend as I go back through my reading history. All of these are T at the most, and if there is an M somewhere it’s probably for violence or graphic-ness.

Danny Phantom Only:

(we are) the fault line by iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid 👻 - Slow burn found family with Vlad regretting past decisions and getting more depth than just “mwahaha I’m going to turn you into the perfect son!!!!” Also Danny speaks in like, two chapters toward the end, and I think that’s quite a bold move to have the quip-dealer so quiet.

Shivers by JadeNoRyuu 👻 - There’s follow-ups, but the main story is really interesting. I also don’t know if the writer’s first language is English, but that makes it even more commendable.

Epiphany by TorScrawls 👻 - Maddie and Jack get character development, and that makes Danny panic lol. There are separate epilogues.

Broken Ectoplasm by ghostanimal 👻 - Very nice story, more Parental Angst, and Danny is incapable of speech for almost all of it. Jack realizes how much of an ass Vlad is without Vlad knowing.

Bitter by thatgirl_youknowtheone ❌ - Vlad fucking poisons Jack at the man’s own b-day party. Jack does not realize he is dead, angst ensues when Danny tells him.

Temper Tantrums by attu 👻 - Lore for my girl Dorathea! Also Danny gets to be a dragon!

Mortified by Marsalias 👻 - Honestly if you haven’t read some of this one yet, go. Read it. Worldbuilding out the ass in this one. Edit: Now complete! Chapter count is over 300 but they’re relatively short.

Three note chords (series) by Hazama_d20 👻 (series is marked as incomplete, but all uploaded fics are completed) - Ember wants to spend a day in Amity, Danny needs help with a talent show. ~Can I make it any more obvious~

Crossovers:

Half Dead Phoenix by SilkNettle ❌ - Trelawney shenanigans. Danny is confused, but he’s not gonna complain about the people giving him a bed. Danny cannot use a wand.

Ghost Kings and Gotham Bats by BlueGhostCardinal ❌ - Ghost King Danny, obviously, but he finds out in an interesting way. Also has Bad Parents Jack/Maddie, so watch out for that.

Weirdward by DarkNymfa 👻 - The OotP needs help, and Muggle ghosts are very strange. Danny can use a wand.

Darcy and the Phantom (Link to first fic, but it is part of a series) by Honyasbookshelf 👻 (series is incomplete, this one is completed) - Danny is sleep-deprived and Darcy carries a taser. Jane is also Danny’s astrophysics hero.

Summoned King AU (series) by Enigmaris ❌ - HYDRA summonings, but he’s in human form every time. The Avengers help him out until Loki tags along and Knows immediately.

Ghost in the NYC (series) by ASharksReadingGlasses 👻 - While I love good parents Jack and Maddie, this one just has Good Dad Jack and Questionable Logic Maddie. Also Spidey and the OG DP, aka Deadpool, accidentally-on-purpose-kinda-sorta adopt him. NOW COMPLETE WITH BONUS EPISODES TO COME!!!

Icebound by Pandemi 👻 - Very neat Justice League fic, I love the premise of Flash fighting… well, just read it.

The Ghost of Heroes by Enigmaris 👻 - MCU crossover. This is in the same vein as Mortified for me. If you haven’t read it, GO READ IT.

Whirlwind, Reflections, and Mirrored by Lynse 👻👻👻 - All involve different parts of the Secret Trio (Danny Phantom, Jake Long, and Randy Cunningham), but Whirlwind throws Chat Noir in there for spice.

Legless on Maim by GothMoth 👻 - This one is mostly for the sake of “hey, that doctor in Venom is named Dan! Let’s have fun with that.” It’s also got ridiculously long chapters, but I don’t really mind so this is more a warning for anyone who frequently says, “Just one more chapter.” Honestly, you’re probably going to see a lot of GothMoth on the one-shot list. I love the memes.

Phantom City by inukagome15 👻 - Teen Titans crossover. I guess more light-hearted? Still dealing with Dan Trauma, but… someone helps. It’s great. :)

Family and Friends by lauraeb5 👻 - Ah, immortal Danny. Who makes friends with a much-loved winter spirit of fun! And angst happens later! >:3c

Recognized by AgentIanLegend 👻 - IDENTITY SHENANIGANS WITH ROBIN!! Seriously, I had to take breaks to be like, “okay who’s who? What happened? What’s happening?” And BAM (Bad Ass Mother) Maddie!!!!

[laurenairay]

3 with Seggy if possible? Thanks 💚

Thanks for requesting this one @romanseggy – I hope you enjoy it! Very much inspired by I Won’t Give Up, by Jason Mraz. Also tagging @texanstarslove as he is your OG man  💖

This is the first blurb of my birthday prompt list! Starting the countdown to the big day…now!

“It’s you, it always has been”

*

“Hey, sweetheart, are you busy?”

You looked up from where you were reading your book on the sofa, to where Tyler was crouched over the dogs lying on their beds, and couldn’t help but smile fondly at him. He was such a softie sometimes.

“Never too busy for you,” you shot back, winking dramatically.

Tyler laughed, giving Marshall one last head ruffle before walking over to you. He held out a hand for you to take, which you did, although you raised an eyebrow suspiciously at him. What was he up to?

“Dance with me?” he asked, smiling oh-so-innocently.

“Are you going to tell me what you’re really doing if I do?”

“Of course,” Tyler grinned.

Well that was that then. You rested one hand on his chest, his arm going around your waist – his free hand pressed a button on his phone, before he tucked it into his pocket, and took your own hand with his, clasping it gently. The opening bars of a song started playing, Tyler swaying you from side to side, making your heart beat a little faster. Where this came from, you didn’t know. But you were sure as hell going to appreciate it while it lasted.

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

Well, there's so much they hold

“Oh I love this song!” you gasped

Tyler just grinned, squeezing your waist gently. “I know you do,”

You laughed at his blasé attitude, throwing your head back slightly. This man really could be ridiculous sometimes. But god knows you loved him anyway.

You really did love him.

“I know you think I’m ridiculous,” Tyler murmured, “But indulge me?”

Damn he knew you well. Whoops.

“Of course I will, you old romantic,” you mused.

Tyler winked in response, just pulling you a little closer, making you sigh happily as you continued to sway to the music.

Well, I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

Tyler cleared his throat, making you look up at him. The seriousness on his face made you frown. He never looked this serious unless it was something important. What was wrong? You couldn’t help but frown.

“Everything okay, Ty?” you asked softly.

Your boyfriend just huffed a laugh, smiling wryly at you. “You always have been able to read me so well,”

“Well, I mean, after all these years it would be worrying if I couldn’t,” you said dryly, trying to keep your tone light.

Because you could see in his eyes that he was nervous. So nervous. What was making him act like this?

“You’re right, we have been together a long time now. So long that I don’t know what I would do without you in my life,”

The softness of his voice made your breath catch in your throat. Why was he saying these things?

“Ty?” you asked, confused.

“When I think of how I want to spend the rest of my life, with who I want to spend the rest of my life…it’s you, it always has been,” he said seriously.

A lump rose in your throat as your heart started beating a little faster. Was he…was he really…

Oh god.

“I just don’t want to spend another day without knowing that you’ll always be by my side, like I’ll always be like yours. You make me want to be a better man, sweetheart. And I promise I always will try to be exactly what you deserve,”

You whimpered as Tyler let go of you, reaching into his pocket, barely able to remember how to breathe, let alone able to control all of the emotions that were threatening to overwhelm you.

And then he stepped back, and knelt down on one knee. You couldn’t take your eyes off him as he reached out for your hand.

“I love you. So much,” he murmured.

Your breath caught in your throat. “I love you too,” you whispered.

Then he smiled.

“Will you marry me?” he asked.

The way he looked up at you, eyes so full of love and hope, made all of your careful control crumble, and you found yourself unable to stop the tears that trickled down your cheeks as you nodded a little helplessly.

“Of course I will. Of course I’ll marry you!” you said, voice more than a little shaky.

The relief that flooded across Tyler’s face was instant, making you laugh a little wetly as he slowly slid the ring onto your finger. Holy shit. Holy shit. Did that really just happen?

“Get up here so I can kiss you,” you demanded.

Tyler laughed, quickly standing up to take your lips in a firm kiss, arms sliding around you tightly as you threw your arms around his neck. When you eventually pulled away, it wasn’t only your face that was wet with tears.

“I was so nervous,” he admitted, voice a little choked up.

“I could tell you were nervous…but I had no idea you were going to do this,” you giggled, trying to wipe your cheeks dry.

“You had no idea?” he laughed.

You just shook your head, smiling. “Best surprise ever,”

Tyler threw his head back laughing, making you smile even wider.

“You know, I always thought you would want something more public than this,” you confessed.

You knew how much his public image meant to him – you’d gotten used to that a long time ago.

“But I knew you wouldn’t,” Tyler shrugged, smiling at you.

Butterflies filled your stomach. This man. This incredibly thoughtful man.

“Ty…” you murmured.

“I compromised,” Tyler added, a little sheepishly.

Oh?

“Oh?” you asked, repeating your thought.

Tyler looked over to where the dogs were still lying, making you confused. What?

“Marshall, come here boy!”

You couldn’t help but laugh, hand flying up to cover your mouth, as you spotted the GoPro strapped to Marshall’s chest. That sneak was setting it up just before he asked you to dance!

“I figured it might be pretty fun to play at our wedding? You know, after we’ve edited? We can also take stills from the video, if you wanted to send a photo to your family,” Tyler suggested hopefully.

You jaw dropped slightly at his planning, tears springing to your eyes. He really had thought all of this through, hadn’t he?

“Yeah, yeah that sounds good to me,” you nodded, sniffing.

Tyler grinned, pressing a slow sweet kiss to your lips, before he leaned down to stop the camera recording. You ruffled Marshall’s ears, what a good boy, before you looked back up at Tyler.

“We haven’t finished our dance yet, Mr Seguin,” you said simply.

The smile that spread over Tyler’s face made your heart beat a little faster.

“No we haven’t, soon-to-be-Mrs Seguin,” he grinned.

Holy shit.

Tyler laughed at the stunned look on your face as he tugged you back into a dance hold, swaying you together once more.

'Cause even the stars, they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

No, I won't give up

[avidoro]

Edit: Guess I’ll put this in here since everyone is just glossing it over to look for the negative parts. I never said you couldn’t ship SessRin. I never said I was anti-SessRin. I know I tagged it as such, but it isn’t because of my opinion. I have friends who ship SessRin. I love those friends. What I mean by these statements is that the community in general is toxic because of the people in it who have caused problems for others. Like, for example, the person who felt the need to jump me about my personal ship because it wasn’t with Rin when I wasn’t even talking about a ship. Or the people who harassed the English voice cast to the point that even they were calling the SessRin community toxic. Or the people who are fighting to have any Sesshoumaru shipping blog deleted if Rin isn’t involved. I am capable of peacefully sharing Sesshoumaru with other shippers if they could be civilized. But since they aren’t, then I feel like I have the right to speak my mind. And those of you who feel the need to fight me about it are just proving my point because you’re so worked up that anyone could have a different opinion that you absolutely have to argue. That being said, I also stated that I would never have said a word about this if it weren’t for the fact that Rin is underage in Yashahime. Sunrise is trying to lie about how much time passed. They clearly didn’t do their own math. And while I’m fine with SessRin shippers who ship her as an adult, I will not tolerate the people who justify her being underage in Yashahime. Also to those trying to argue about Yashahime being canon, I would love to provide the evidence to the statement I saw, but it’s gotten lost in the sea of people arguing about the show being canon. It was something along the lines of her saying the story wasn’t canon or wasn’t hers but the three girls were and that she was washing her hands of InuYasha and other’s could do what they wanted with it. Which kind of implies it’s not canon but she doesn’t care. If I find it again I will definitely share it. But if Rumiko steps up and actually says the show is canon, then I’ll accept it as canon. But that doesn’t mean I’m okay with Rin being underage. But go ahead and continue to comment with your ridiculous arguments. New edit: @tiny-foots​ It’s not what I saw but I was provided this where Rumiko stated InuYasha was complete within herself meaning the story was done. She left it up to Mr. Sumisawa to write. Take it as you will, but I see that as her giving the okay for a fanfic to be officiated. But I don’t see it as canon. I suppose that can be left up to interpretation. But my personal belief is that it’s not canon. Even before all this I never even saw the original anime as canon.

I am going to start off by saying that I always said I would never be anti-ship. But if this is what it's come to then I am completely against what is happening right now.

Let's just pretend my OTP isn't actually my OTP right now. What I ship has nothing to do with this. In fact I am a multi-shipper, so don't even think about that. This is beyond more than my personal shipping opinions. InuYasha was my comfort series during a very rough time and Sesshoumaru is my favorite character because of his massive character development and redemption arc. He is an astounding character.

The fact that Sunrise has "officially" (I refuse to say canon because it's not canon. Rumiko said so. Fight me!) paired him with Rin is the most disturbing and disgusting thing they could have possibly done. Again, I am not against people who do ship them. If that's what they enjoy then that's fine.

HOWEVER!

The SessRin community is toxic AF! They have been for a long time and now they've been given a reason to really be horrible people. And that's only one reason why I'm disgusted by this entire thing. And mind you, since Yashahime isn't canon anyway, I wouldn't have cared as much if they hadn't done it the way they had. Let me break this down for you. I'm going to list why SessRin is unhealthy, toxic, and morally wrong and I'll even list some of the justifying arguments shippers have tried to use to support it and explain why they're wrong too.

Pairing Sesshoumaru with Rin destroyed his character development and redemption.

Sesshoumaru's father had a strong desire to see his son learn compassion. Toward everyone! Humans and youkai alike. He learned that lesson through both a human and a youkai. Rin and Kagura. These were the characters who were meant to teach him to be compassionate toward others. By pairing him with Rin you have taken away that compassion that he learned. It's like sticking a giant middle finger up to all the humans he was supposed to learn to respect and say he only tolerates Rin and no one else. There goes his redemption! Way to go, Sunrise!

SessRin was never meant to become a thing.

Rumiko went out of her way to create a bond between Kagura and Sesshoumaru as well as Kohaku and Rin. It's clear who we were meant to ship them with. These characters were placed as a barrier between Rin and Sesshoumaru to avoid an improper ship. SessKagu is the ONLY canon Sesshoumaru ship.

No child in their right mind grows up to fall in love with the man who raised them from childhood.

And if they do then they need to seek counseling because that's not healthy. A normal child would grow up to view that man as her father.

And how about these lame and unjustifiable arguments that SessRinners are throwing out.

"He waited until she was an adult! She's 18!"

Do some research. She is not 18! Look at the the facts that have been compiled. She is 15 MAX. She's underage!

"This was normal back then!"

No it was not! Again, do your research! Nobility groomed children to be wives, yes, but it wasn't normal. Even then the girl wasn't bedded until she was an adult. Also, would you portray a black person, in media, as an abused slave in 1800s America by your story's "good guy" and say it's okay because it was normal back then?  I don't think so!

"They were meant to be together! It was a given! It was clear!"

Again, no it wasn't! Kagura was placed in the story for this purpose! She was in love with Sesshoumaru and he was falling in love with her. They are the ONLY canon Sess ship!

"Well, you're forgetting about the original series being about a 15-year-old girl getting with a 50+ year old man!"

There are so many reasons why this is an illogical statement. - InuYasha and Kagome met when they were mentally the same age. Sess and Rin met with he was mentally a young adult and she was EIGHT! - Kagome and InuYasha didn't have an official relationship until she returned from her time after three years... WHEN SHE WAS 18! - Every moment in the original story where Kagome was in an inappropriate situation she got mad and did something about it! She didn't just giggle and let the men around her ogle or touch her! - And my personal opinion, I also believe InuYasha and Kagome’s relationship was toxic anyway, so don’t try to hold that one over me. There’s a reason I’m a multi-shipper.

And one of my favorites, even from pre-Yashahime

"NO ONE is shipping child Rin with Sesshoumaru!"

Yeah? Go do a Google image search, you sickos. Edited to include this little treasure in the comments:

Who’s putting words in her mouth? She stated, in an interview plain as day, that Yashahime was not canon! She didn’t write it. An official publication does not canon make! Not to mention “the woman who changed him” is such an incredibly vague statement. If it was meant to be Rin, she’d have just said Rin. As mentioned before, she was very adamant about pushing the Kagura x Sesshoumaru ship. And Kagura definitely changed him. Was it not his compassion toward her specifically that regained his arm and gave him a sword? I’m pretty sure “the woman who changed him” was meant to be a vague statement because the canonical intention was just to leave it open to interpretation and is probably meant to be some random village woman who bonded with Sesshoumaru and ultimately completed his change.

And if, by chance, she did mean Rin, she didn’t say it was canon. Just that she was his wife meaning that is who Sunrise set as his wife in the show. Think about it? She was answering the question of “who had his children in Yashahime.” If she meant Rin, she was avoiding spoilers and giving a hint to who Sunrise chose as his wife. That’s not saying she would have picked Rin, herself. She didn’t write it. So it seems to me that you are the one putting words in her mouth.

Now tell me, if your best friend from grade school who was adopted told you when she was a teen or even an adult, "My dad's hot. We decided to sleep together." would you not find that disturbing? That's SessRin right now.

Also:

HANYOU NO YASHAHIME IS NOT CANON! THIS IS PER RUMIKO TAKAHASHI HERSELF! DO NOT TRY TO JUSTIFY THAT SESSRIN IS CANON NOW BECAUSE IT ISN'T! IT'S JUST AN OVERGLORIFIED AND POORLY WRITTEN FANFICTION!

ONLY THE MANGA IS CANON! OG SESSHOUMARU IS THE ONLY SESSHOUMARU!! That being said, I still say if you do happen to be a SessRin shipper, then you do you. Enjoy what you want. But what is happening right now does not give you a right to justify any toxic behavior that your community is expressing. Again, I wouldn’t even be mad if Sunrise hadn’t portrayed Rin as still being underage. I won’t stand to see people justify this!

—— 1 year anniversary to Landslide [BOB FIC]

Wow! 1 year! I can’t even believe that just last year, I was sat in a lake house, in the late hours of the night, trying to figure out what idea was going to be my next for another Band of Brothers story! I remember the moment and where I had been sitting when the idea hit and looking back, I’m so glad it hit when it did. Landslide is far from that little idea I got in that lake house, but has continually developed, grown and changed in ways I look back and can’t even begin to think about how it even happened!

Natia Filipska has been a character that I will cherish close to my heart. Of course, I adore my other OCs and will always love them, but Natia holds an even more special place there in my heart because of the challenge in writing she has offered me. She gives me a challenge everyday - whether it’s having to rewrite a scene 5 times because “it’s just not her” or completely starting over a chapter because knowing Natia, she’d have a better way to get out of this situation.

I’ve also made one of my absolute favorite ships, coined “Fliptoye” by a few readers (you know who you are hehe) and it has grown to truly be a favorite of mine for so many reasons. There was no “love at first sight” or really anything like that. Just two human beings realizing they genuinely care for each other and enduring both the struggles and hardships that come along with realizing in war, you care for something that war can also touch. That for one of the first times it is not longer just about you or the buddy next to you. Natia Filipska and Joe Toye have been a joy to write!

And of course there was the month of disliking Richard Winters, the iconic nickname of “Mapkeeper” for Lewis Nixon, the Roman History nerd jokes that have now developed with Ronald Speirs, the slow start of some sort of friendship because of cracking a joke about Nix with Harry Welsh, and the comfort of a friend from Carwood Lipton.

Even Joe Liebgott and Natia Filipska have swiftly become a favorite duo and I can completely agree. Getting to see where they started and where they are now — from seeing their differences and arguments and heavy weighted disagreements to know finding ways to comfort each other even in the midst of war and making sure the other is okay and even eating. They’ve definitely been one of my favorite duos to go through that sort of character arc together.

AND OF COURSE, we can not forget one of the most important driving forces in the fic, Death, himself (alongside the sarcastic bits of War haha), most importantly the personification of Death. What draws me to a character like him, is more than anything the fact words can not be communicated between Natia and Death yet they hold such a strong willed connection, that you almost don’t need to worry about words. Each layer that builds with their connection, leads for an even darker end and makes Death even more fascinating in the end.

You can’t forget a guy like Agent Mortem! Without him Natia and Agent “Fidel” wouldn’t be here right? Right? Right….? Well…..anyway…..even with who he is and his partially uncovered past, Agent Mortem remains a heavy asset to Landslide as the leading cause for WHY Natia could possibly even be the way she is and to provide backstory on a multitude of other things, and for reason for Natia to have her redemption. There’s so much unexplored. And I’m so ready to talk about it! :D

Landslide has challenged me in ways I can’t even begin to describe both mentally and emotionally with my writing. I’ve had to rewrite, rework, edit over and over just to get it right but at the end of the day, it is always worth it. In some ways I don’t even know what else to say, and almost think the story can speak for itself! It is made for you to interpret it they way you wish to interpret it, there’s no right way to see who Natia is or what Landslide is about — whether for you it be about family, friendship, love in war, darkness and overcoming that, the struggles of mental health, finding your own inner peace or independence….whatever it may be, I hope it has possibly even helped you somehow in anyway :) Even with the MAJOR HECKING ANGST (LMAO💀) or the extremely sad parts (that honestly are probably just super sad to me LOL), it still is a fic full of lessons and stories equally about someone like Natia!

I can’t WAIT for whatever else this story has to bring to the table! With still a bit of writing for the future to go, it makes me so incredibly hopeful for an end in sight on both Landslide and Natia’s character and peace for all those lost throughout the story <3

Thank you to EVERY single person who took a chance with Landslide and took a read, if you were from Day One, saw it while scrolling through Wattpad or AO3 or Tumblr, or even saw the Spoon meme! I appreciate each and every single one of you! Whether you voted, commented or left a kudo, or just even took a read! I appreciate you SO MUCH! I can’t even begin to describe the joy this story has brought me and the challenges as a writer it has provided. I’m hopeful for the rest of this fic and hopefully for one or two more to come!

Special shout-out to @vintagelavenderskies for being by my side with this project since like DAY ONE?!?! EVEN BEFORE DAY ONE?!? I don’t even know but just genuinely for so long, how could I not tag you! You always are just so excited to hype me up as well as Natia (the lil bean) and give me support and comfort for whatever I was doing (especially that support, there was some rough moments throughout the year and the fic lol!) I just can’t thank you enough for your friendship and joy you’ve brought to me! <3 Thank you my friend, so so much, for everything! :D

I’ll also shoutout a few more lovely people who have just been…..absolutely wonderful in providing both support, or insight, wonderful commentary or just sweet messages throughout writing this! @tvserie-s-world (thank you for all the moodboards!!)@wecomrades @stressedinadress (credit do you my friend for og fliptoye name!!) @pxpeyewynn @whoahersheybars @kryzes @holdingforgeneralhugs @martinsrestingbitchface @whovian45810 @geniedocroe @thoughpoppiesblow @how-are-those-nuts-sarge @alienoresimagines @alejodi0nysus @brichard-bwinters and just genuinely anyone else who even sent me a small ask or message, I appreciate it so much and your support or love or help in anything Landslide-related, helped me more than anything! <3

THANK YOU! TO ALL OF YOU! I don’t know what else to say except thank you. Thank you for letting me bring who Natia was, alive through this fic as well as her spirit and compassion of ending the war. Along with her friendships of Easy Company and hardships of both her past and mental health. It’s been an honor and privilege — here’s to many more! ✨

Happy reading! <3

JSE Renaissance Week - Day 4

Day 4 (June 28th): Artist’s/Writer’s day. Do you have favorite pieces of fanart, an edit, or a fic that you or someone else has created? Reblog that sh*t with a comment saying how much you love it– it’ll probably make someone’s day! Bonus points if you create something for this. Extra bonus points if it’s a collaboration with another community member!

BOLD OF YOU ALL TO ASSUME I HAVE ANY EGO ART I’VE CREATED THAT I STILL FEEL OKAY POSTING. I’VE IMPROVED SINCE THEN AND IT IS NASTY. EGO ART COMING MAYBE EVENTUALLY.

YEAH THAT’S RIGHT I USED TO MAKE EGO ART. ONLY OG FOLLOWERS WILL REMEMBER THAT SHIT. PLEASE DON’T GO LOOKING FOR IT, I DON’T LIKE MY OLD ART.

Until then I scream like a moron about my favorite creators, some of which have actually moved on from the JSEC but I love them anyway so they can fight me in a dark alley for having the audacity to love them.

*BIG GAY INHALE*

@turquoisemagpie. YOU ABSOLUTE TRADITIONAL ART WIZARD. MY GOD. Your art style has me head over heels all over again with every piece you post. You’re where like- 14 year old me wanted her art to be. You are so insanely talented, your style is amazing, your range is mindblowing, and I cherish the commission of my infamous Bunker Trouble Trio SO MUCH. It was my laptop’s wallpaper for probably over a year. If I hear your commissions are open, I will be HEAVILY considering coming back. I could write an entire post just gushing about how much I love your art. Always keep creating, even what you might think is your worst or less than your usual quality would more than likely be something I’m still working my way up to. You are the DEFINITION of goals. <3

@septic-dr-schneep. WHERE DO I START. Hyperfixation or no hyperfixation, your work ethic is INSANE. I can’t BELIEVE how much you crank out in one hour let alone one day. Even if that’s slowed since before my little Tumblr break, you still blow my mind. I feel drained of creative juices just managing out one long piece for my OCs! Keeping track of a whole series of blurbs, defining canon and not within those, and coming up with a coherent story through each blurb, BASED OFF REQUEST PROMPTS FROM RANDOM PEOPLE? That’s AMAZING. I admire that passion you have so much, and even your breaks and burnouts don’t stop you. I LOVE that!

@lum1natriix. GOD where do I start with your gifs. JSE or other content, they are STUNNING. They’re such smoothly moving, high quality. You put so much work into them and it SHOWS, and I don’t even know where you would Start with making one, it’s always sounded like a Big Process, but your finished products look so awesome! No matter what you make gifs (or edits) of nowadays, I still adore your work. :)

@huffletrax. YOUR ART STYLE IS ADORABLE. It’s so squishy and fun and your coloring is IMMACULATE. And I love that despite your cute, round style, you still really pull off those angsty doodles you make occasionally. >:D You have a range and I’ve loved watching your improvement from the time I was new on Tumblr up to now. Keep going!!

@huffle-dork. I hope this doesn’t count as a mass post because BOY YOU DESERVE SOME APPRECIATION. You have crazy talent, both in your characters AND BACKGROUNDS. MY GOD DUDE, YOUR BACKGROUNDS. Even the ones that are just maybe a swoosh of colors look BEAUTIFUL. Dare I say they’re print worthy all on their own! I love the way you color things, and your style has such range too! Sometimes I can see similarities in my art to yours, and that’s been such a helpful way of keeping my motivation to keep improving up. I admire your art so much, and I love your Subnautica Egos series. <3

@d-structive. GOALS. JUST- GOALS. AGH. I love your style range so much! Your usual squareish stuff, your chibi stuff, your silly shitpost style (dare I callback to the buff ballerina Jameson,,,). All of it!! There’s just something so fun and fluid about it, yet its so square and neatly sharp at the same time! You balance those sorts of elements so well in your art, and I really love your ego designs too. <3 You probably have one of the most easily identifiable Marvin designs in the community, and he’s a little sneaky bastard man. >:D

@spunketpunk. BRUH DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING CAUSE LIKE. WOW. Your COLORING. Your art POPS and its so fucking cool. I love neon and saturated colors and its so rare to find artists who do (at least in my experience) and that’s something that seems like a huge part of your medium and I LOVE THAT. It makes your art insanely unique, and I love the aesthetic of those colors combined with your usually sketchy, messy lineart. Just- *chef’s kiss.* Your originality is fantastic, never lose that no matter what you explore. <3

@dumbthinmint. HEY WHAT’S UP LENGTHY SUPER DEVELOPED AU MAKER BUDDY?? LIKE HOLY SHIT DUDE. The lengths you go research and lore-wise for your AU? BRUUHHH. *slams hands on table* INSANE. And the way you make theory posts IN REFERENCE TO IT? That makes your theorizing stuff SO UNIQUE, I love it! Even when I feel like I can’t push my Ego AU lore with my friends too much further, you’re out here constantly dropping BOMBS of lore and honestly that makes my personal motivation with my own stuff soar right back up. I LOVE watching your AU unfold and progress, and your dedication to it is stunning. :D

There’s so many other artists, writers, editors & more I could tag but I don’t want this post getting 53826 miles long. :’D Just know that if any of you create things and I follow you, I think you’re doing great, I admire your stuff, and I hope you keep it up, no matter if its JSE related or not. <3

Tagged by @garbria -- making me be reflective, how dare you! :D

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Right this moment I have 10.

2. What is your total AO3 word count?

23,192. 8,942 of which were posted this week o.o Guess I can be productive...

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Just FFXV. Unless you're counting RPs based on fandoms in which case...six? Possibly more? Fandoms make great quick-start rpgs XD

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Fifth: A tie at 13 between The Goddess' Gift and Adventures Retold: Bedtime Edition. Considering the second has only been up a couple days, we'll give it the place. You can't beat Cor and Prompto bedtime stories. Especially when they're poking fun at the OG Chocobros.

Fourth: Storm Gallows with 14. Random idea that I hadn't planned on writing but just hit me like a truck in the middle of the night. Still, it was my first Nyx fic and first of the Whumptober fics and I'm really happy how it turned out. I'll probably do more in this Wild West AU when I get the time.

Third: Winter Solstice Cocoa with 20. First day of Winter Dad!Cor Week for the prompts of winter holidays and hot chocolate. It turned out very well and I don't think I can do better for pure happy fluff.

Second: Black Knight, White Pawn with 22. Much, much whump. Nyx has a bad day--okay alot longer than a day. My mind flits from one idea or project to the next rapidly, but it's stewing over this again, so hopefully a new chapter soon.

First: Prompto's Wild Ride with 24. I'm glad this one did so well as the first idea I started working on for Whumptober and went through several versions. Cor, Prompto, and a pair of colorful chocobos.

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yep. I try to leave them whenever I can think of anything at all too. Kudos are great, but you can't beat comments for encouragement: they're special and personal.

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Does an unfinished one count? If it does, Black Knight, White Pawn. The ending will, eventually, be happy, but the chapters until then...

7) Do you ever write crossovers?

Haven't in fic yet. I've combined different fandoms for the convenience of shared reference in rp games.

8) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not yet. Hope I won't. There's a huge difference between constructive suggestions and hate after all.

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

No, but if I did, I probably wouldn't have the courage to post it, lol.

10) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of. Don't think it's likely as they haven't been up long. I am curious if there's any search programs out there to check on these things. Maybe anti-plagiarism ones.

11) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Closest thing I've come is A Song of Hearth and Home which isn't co-written but instead inspired by @ertrunkenerwassergeist's awesome fics, using her worldbuilding/history. And it's a poem/song, so not sure if that counts.

12) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

LuNyx, hands down. It's what brought me to the fandom really, especially @annaoi's wonderful art. I also like Crowna (Crowe/Luna). Promptis has grown on me as well.

13) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

FFXV. It's what brought me back to fandom after something like a decade and a half. Not that I wrote back then, but I did read.

14) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Oof...uh...that is a really good question? Probably Black Knight, White Pawn or Storm Gallows just because they were fun to write and I got to try out some things with them. Tags...umm...@awlwren if you want to, no pressure
