The Heart Flutter Game

Chan/ot8 x Female reader

Word count: 990

Synopsis: What happens when you realize Chan is capable of making your heart race?

A/N: 18+ ONLY! I hope this is what you were looking for and I hope you enjoy reading. I couldn't help myself and threw just a smidge of angst in there lol otherwise it's all cute fluffy crack! If you all enjoy reading please give it a reblog, like, comment, hop on over to my asks, whatever. I love hearing from you guys! Warnings below the cut

Warnings: None but if there is something I should have up as a warning please let me know and I'll add it. Also although there is no smut or nsfw content in this fic my blog and stories are strictly for 18+ and over. MDNI you will be blocked.

You didn't know where the staff came up with these games sometimes but when you all walked in and saw a huge game board you knew you were going to have fun, especially when you all started to walk around and read the squares. Blind tasting, debate, this or that, heart flutter, fruit ninja. You didn't know what some of the games were but you knew the heart flutter game from watching tik toks.  

You all rolled a big dice to determine the order you'd go in. Once that was decided the game could really begin. You made it a couple times around the group and then it was your turn again. You rolled and Chan moved your piece for you, landing on the heart flutter game. You had watched Seungmin and Jisung play one of the other rounds, so you knew what to expect and you knew who you would pick. 

"I choose Chan." He smiled and walked over. 

"You don't think I can make your heart flutter?" He seemed up to the challenge.  

"No offence Channie but I highly doubt it." He clutched his heart. 

"I'm hurt and will now have to prove myself that much more." You laughed. 

"Well go on then sweep me off my feet old man." He made a stink face. 

"I'm not old!" Seungmin laughed. 

"You just forgot you're old because you're old." Chan feigned laughing and then turned back towards you as a staff member finished setting up the ears and sensors. Then one of the other staff members got the stopwatch ready. You just had to survive two minutes. They hit the button to start it. 

"Okay and go!" Chan walked towards you a little more. 

"Da? Ahh Da? Uwu..." Chan went straight for aegyo but you stood there expressionless the ears unchanging. He stepped closer.  

"Daaaa? Oooo cuuuute!" He poked his cheek and you still gave no reaction and he got no movement from the ears. He stepped closer, now he was definitely in your bubble and you could smell his cologne. Why did he smell so good? The ears twitched and Chan looked at you with a little smile. 

"What's wrong y/n?" You shook your head. 

"N-nothing..." His smile got bigger. He leaned in and the cat ears moved more. The guys all started teasing you as your ears started turning red. 

"Flirt Chan!" He got closer and you took a deep breath. 

"Nothing? Really? You seem flustered..." Chan's face was so close to yours that you could feel his warm breath on your neck, giving you goosebumps and the ears started moving even more. 

"Uh... I... I..." You were starting to get embarrassed that Chan was having such an effect on you. His lips were almost pressed to the shell of your ear. 

"Do I make your heart flutter y/n-ie?" He whispered, then he kissed your cheek and the ears went crazy. You gasped surprised he did that. Your whole face was burning now as the guys all laughed. Suddenly, to you, it wasn't funny anymore. You pulled the ears off and tossed them down before running off. Everyone stopped laughing. Chan looked around at the guys who were all looking up at him. 

"Way to go Chan." Chan looked over at Changbin who had said it. 

"What?! You guys told me to flirt." Minho shook his head. 

"Yea flirt, we didn't say kiss her." Chan face palmed and groaned. 

"I'll go apologize." Chan walked off in the direction you had run off in as the rest of the guys took a break. He found you by following the sounds of your sniffles. He felt terrible.  

"y/n? Hey I'm really sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I was trying to be silly and took it too far." You wiped at your face a huffed out a breath. 

"It's not that. You didn't make me uncomfortable Chan." He was confused, his head tilted to the side as his bottom lip protruded. 

"What then?" You slouched against the wall. 

"I... I liked it." Chan nodded. 

"Okay..." You rolled your eyes. 

"I liked it a lot okay?! And everyone was there watching and laughing and I realized it was all just a joke, that I was a joke, and..." Chan's brow furrowed. 

"Hey hey no. You're not a joke." You looked down and shrugged.  

"Well that's how it felt. 'Chan kissed y/n hahaha big joke'. Even you just said you did it to be silly." Chan realized he'd hurt your feelings. 

"I'm so sorry y/n. I didn't mean it like that." You shook your head. 

"Just forget it. Okay? Let's just get back and finish the game." You started to walk off and Chan gently grabbed your wrist stopping you. 

"Hey wait we need to talk about this." You pinched the bridge of your nose. 

"Why?" 

"Well you liked the kiss and I liked kissing you. Isn't that something we should discuss." You looked at him speechless. 

"You what?" He shrugged. 

"I said I liked kissing you and I think this is something we should talk about instead of ignoring it." When you finally processed Chan's words and that he truly meant them you nodded. 

"Yea okay..." You said shyly. You and Chan sat down on the floor with your backs against the wall and started talking. Midway through the conversation Chan grabbed and held your hand and your heart started racing faster. Back in the main part of the studio the guys were all huddled around a monitor. After a moment Felix spoke up. 

"Shouldn't we tell them their mics are still on?" Hyunjin shook his head. 

"No give them their moment." Seungmin chimed in. 

"I didn't think they would ever figure it out. It was starting to get painful to watch them." All of the guys agreed in unison. They let you and Chan have your moment while they waited for you both to return and finish the game.

[hikaaa-bi]

i hate the whole "the show was cancelled" excuse that toh fans constantly use to justify poor writing choices. i'm as upset as anyone that toh was cut short, but the show writers got an advantage that a lot of other shows didn't. they were allowed to actually end the show. look at infinity train, for example. it had more seasons planned but the execs decided to cancel it without even giving the creators time to write a proper ending.

so in that case, the writers of toh should consider themselves lucky and make do with what they have. of course, it's most ideal to have the freedom to write the entire show how you want. but when you can't do that but you're allowed to give the series a proper resolution, you have to pick and choose what plot points to focus on.

instead of focusing on the important arcs and plot points (belos's backstory, the collector's origin, hunter's arc, etc) the writers decided to add completely unnecessary ships and additions to further complicate the plot. i'll say it: huntlow was unnecessary, the whole hexside and kikimora thing in s3e2 was unnecessary, the collector's rushed redemption arc was unnecessary. in fact, some of these decisions actively affected the ongoing plot badly (huntlow ruining hunter's arc and bringing him back to square one).

in the end, you're left with more questions than answers. what's with the collector's sudden switch from evil and calculating to poor innocent uwu child? what actually happened in belos's past? how did hunter move on from his trauma without getting any closure and being paired with a person who acts a lot like his controlling uncle? why did amity forgive luz so quickly for lying to her after she asked her not to? what happened to all the witches and citizens of the demon realm who actually followed and worshipped belos?

so yeah, you really can't defend toh with this excuse. if i was making a show and was forced to cut it short, i'd be angry and upset, sure. but i'd try to make the best of it. i would focus on the main plot instead of going after side characters or ships that add nothing of importance to the plot. i still like this show a lot but i'm not going to blindly defend it. it has its flaws and they need to be critiqued.

m.list (bnha version can be found there x)| comment and reblog if u enjoyed !

⊹˚.⋆ SATORU GOJO

℘. as we all know, gojo has no filter, so expect to have to undress with the fitting room's curtain fully opened because "he can hide you with his Greek God body"

℘. brutally honest and doesn't care about your opinion "YOU LOOK LIKE A ROASTED PORK IN THIS LMAO", "I thought mustard yellow was the worst colour on you and then I saw that shit you're wearing", "are u tryna beat my grandma at the wrinkles fashion week ??? get that cardigan outta there"

℘. has to bring his God complex in everything "that looks okay on you, but it would look stunning on me", "nah that's a thing I, ME, MYSELF, would be wearing y/n, stop copying me urgh"

℘. will embarrass you in front of everyone "LOOK AT THIS HOT FINE PIECE OF HUMAN, I'LL PAY YOU TO DATE THEM, THEY'RE KINDA DESPERATE", "Y/N YOUR TEDDY BEAR UNDERWEAR IS SHOWING OOOOH SO CUTE LITTLE SLUTTY BABE" (and this is obviously not true, he just wants to embarrass u)

℘. will post your errands on social media and won't care if you look good on the picture or not as long as HE does, and expect something cringe on the text like "shopping with the ugly best friend (the pretty one is obviously me😏🤭🤪🥰🥵)", "here is a gold digger who takes my money for their clothes UwU💸💸💸💸", "they were wearing teddy bear underwear and EVERYONE saw it 🤣🤣🤣"

⊹˚.⋆ TOJI FUSHIGURO

℘. blank. face. it's a painful moment for him, he doesn't give a damn about your outfit as long as he gets to take it off

℘. but he doesn't say anything either, you just end up talking to yourself. he OCCASIONALLY sighs though which is the only animation you get from him :/

℘. he discreetly peeps through the curtain to see you nAaAaAkEd😨 and then blushes a bit CUZ YOU'RE PERFECT

℘. will let you play model in the living room if he chooses what you two will watch for movie night "mmmh", "looks good"

℘. AND HIS PICKS ARE SO GOOD, I HEADCANON THAT YUUJI HAS PINTEREST, he's like you're own personal shopper

℘. and he's always so enthusiastic about going shopping, he's just a pleasure to have around

I opened my phone and found a game I pre-registered months ago! It's called "Tokyo Debunker"!

Have you guys seen those creepy ads of a video game that looked like pkmn rip-offs called "Evertal*le"? This is one of their game and the ad caught me so I went for it. I was expecting a pixel-game but, uh, well, it's not TT-TT)... They tend to make misleading ads but this? I got caught by this...

It's more like a VN... BUUUUT it didn't disappointment me in and it served surprisingly well too!

THE PREMISE

Supernatural cases in Tokyo alongside devilish ghouls and quirky cats!

At the prestigious Darkwick Academy, your untily classmates have sold their souls to demons in exchange for a wish... and you'll have to find a way to make them work together to solve supernatural cases all over Tokyo. If you get stuck, you can always turn Darkwick's clever cat familiars for their supports!

It's comes with variety of gameplay modes!

Facilities building where your classmates can work and allows you to interact with them or read a conversation of your other classmates;

It have an "investigation" which is an... auto-turn-based battle mode. You just have to brainwork with their skills and equipments;

As bonus, it have a rhythm game! It's pretty easy since it's linear and you have to tap to allow the cat to turn around. You get 3 tries and is available for later!;

It also have co-op kode but I haven't tried yet!

Now let's start with opening!

As you can see on the imagine above, there are seven characters with each different uniform! Each of them are the leader of each "Houses".

Dark Blue: Frostheim || Yellow: Vagastrom

Orange: Jabberwock (and they have an axolotl in their emblem!!! ♡♡♡) || Dark red: Sinostra

Lilac: Hotarubi || Violet: Obscuary || Green: Mortkraken

The game will make you choose "who will you save"? It have a total of 7 houses with minimum 2 to 4 members. With Frostheim the with 4 members and Mortkraken with only 2! Obscuary is a particular one since it only shows one of its member! Once chosen a house, you will choose a character who will appear in the prolouge.

Aaaaand, yeah. The houses will be mentioned few chapters later :3

I won't spoil much but I can say that despite how lighthearted this this game is later... it knows how to jumpscare :)

And we go with Chapter 1

!!!UNDER THE CUT WILL BE A SLIGHT SPOILER TERRITORY!!!

!!!PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

Aye! The MC here! They're female in illustration but I prefer calling them in GN! term and named them "Lucien"! We are in a train after a music concert. The chatroom with the people we went in left the chat and only us and another person, Mina, remain. Turns out we're both in the same train too so we decide to meet up!

A moment after the train arrived at the stop...but it's not ours...

Kisaragi Station? The creepypasta °0°)!?! (/j)

So, we're now in another stop... and found ourselves in an eerie place... And an unknown number calls us. Whether we pick it up or hang down, Mina will text us...

Mina makes her way in our car. We look at the number... 7... the door slides wide open but nothing's there other than darkness. Until someone whispers in our ears.

Gehehehe. I'm not gonna show you the whole thing in case you want to see it yourself!

I cut the spoiler of this chapter here but I'll give you preview of other shots because they are gorgeous!

Asgqhdhahs THE GALAXY ILLUSTRATION SOLD ME EVEN MORE WHAT FOLLOWED—

WE HAVE A CAT WITH A HAT FOR A CONDUCTOR 😭💕✨️

And this few panels! It's not much but I wanted to show how the writing and illustration doesn't shy away from showing blood and swearing! (Note: that guy used those mirror shards as the ammo for his gun btw... pretty rad.) So far, it's fully-voiced too!

Anyways, supernatural, eldritch beings, monsters? Check! They're very creative on it uwu). Good writing? Yaah! The art? Beautiful! Good humor? Nyah! (^=w=^)b

As said before, I'm not far in the story yet. I hope to see more creepy and cool stuffs but the daylight story isn't bad either! The characters have personality. Even MC had a good impression on me. They are down-to-earth and is quick at picking up to things happening around despite the sudden event in their life.

The only sad thing is... they all have body shapes... like... um... twink shaped in their 2-D.... and only one "dark-skinned" character 🥲... usgjqhsqj the Ad*nis Ot*gari of the game 🫠🫠🫠 I think he's cool and adorable tho! He went to the academy to search for his twin brother.

No romance, just classmates being sillies(/affectionate) going around to solve the supernatural in order to mantain the world's order.

The game is rated 16+ so I'm not sure if I'll post much about this here. I just wanted to show in case someone's interested!

The illustrations really do well at gorgeous scenes and at eerie scenes.

-

Beatrice stared at the message for a few minutes,maybe more than a few, then sat up straighter because was she seeing things??? She furrows her brows then looks at her calendar, he was coming home…a few weeks earlier?

Well from the tone it seemed Rooster was okay??

The realization sank in, and a smile spread across Beatrice's face. "He's coming home early," she muttered to herself, the words carrying a sense of disbelief. It had been months since Rooster left for his mission, and the prospect of his return was just…perfect.

Nikki, who had woken up from her nap, toddled over to Beatrice, rubbing her eyes with a tiny fist "Mama?"

Beatrice blinked, the shock from Rooster’s message to the shock of her one year old in front of her, “Nikki, you–” she frowns, “How did you??? Get out of the crib and come down the stairs??” with a superficial glance,she sees nothing is wrong with Nicole…she just looked exactly like Rooster when he woke up.

Nikki, seemingly unbothered by her mother's astonishment, simply giggled and held up her stuffed animal, a clear indication that she had a perfectly good reason for her unexpected journey downstairs.

Beatrice, who after a few stumped seconds finally chuckled, shaking her head in complete disbelief. "Alright, little explorer. I…won’t ask but I think your dad and I might choose a Montessori bed in the future." she leans down to pick Nicole up, hugging her oldest to her chest as she kept her eyes on her phone.

She tries to message him one handed but it is a bit difficult..especially because Nikki wanted to type too. Beatrice, managing the balancing act of holding Nikki and typing on her phone, sent a quick message to Rooster

Bea (08:30)

 Can't believe you're coming home early! Best news ever. When? Where? How? Details, please! Also, Nikki says hi and has successfully conquered the stairs.

As she hit send, a wave of excitement and anticipation washed over her. Nikki, seemingly oblivious to the situation, continued to babble happily, her tiny hands reaching out to interact with the screen. “Nikki, no,”

And Beatrice couldn't help but marvel at the uncanny resemblance between Nikki and Rooster, especially when the little one flashed a toothy grin that mirrored her father's,the way the left side quirked a bit higher than the right and how her lips, while of course smaller, were shaped like Rooster’s. 

With Nikki growing older, well, ‘older’ the more of Rooster Beatrice could see. Her daughter’s hair was golden brown, like Rooster’s. She had her eyes, although they were lighter, almost a shade of greenish blue and whenever Nicole did anything, she just saw Rooster channel through her.

A familiar notification sound interrupted the current admiration, and Beatrice eagerly unlocked her phone to read Rooster's reply.

Roos (08:35)

Surprise. ;) Couldn't wait any longer. I'll be landing at the base in a few weeks. Thought I'd give you a heads-up. Missed you all like crazy. Can't wait to see your face. Oh, and tell Nikki I'm impressed with her stair-climbing skills. Love you!

Beatrice couldn't contain her excitement, a burst of joy radiating from her. "He's coming home!" she exclaimed to Nikki, who responded with a delighted squeal, clearly she wasn’t sure what was happening but her mom was happy!

She sat with Nikki in her arms, Beatrice couldn't resist smiling from ear to ear before typing back

Bea(08:38)

That’s amazing!!!But why are you coming home so soon? I’m not upset, just curious. Is it because of the investigation???...also can we video call? I feel like I have so much to ask.

Roos (08:40)

Absolutely, we can video call. Can't wait to see your face too gorgeous ;)

Beatrice's heart swelled with joy and she bit her lower lip. Something…hard to say what but she felt like they were still dating and she can’t complain at all.

As she prepared for the video call, Beatrice tried to be as comfortable as she could for Nikki, who, seemingly attuned to her mother's emotions, nestled in Beatrice's arms, her innocent gaze towards the phone.

“Comfy?”

“Aaa.”

“Goodie.” she checked the time, the twins would often wake up later, they had a bit of a wild sleeping pattern so she could relax until it was time, “Okay,ready to see daddy?”

The screen flickered to life, and there he was—her husband, miles away but now just a call away. The connection stabilized, and Rooster's face appeared on the screen, a lopsided grin spreading across his features.

"Hey, gorgeous," Rooster greeted, his eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and affection as he adjusts himself on his cot.

Beatrice couldn't help but blush at the endearment. "Hey yourself. You surprised me with the news! Why the early return?"

Rooster chuckled, a warmth in his eyes. "Well, it's a combination of things. The mission wrapped up earlier than expected, and they're giving us some downtime. Thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to be back home with you all."

Beatrice's heart swelled with happiness. "That's wonderful news! We've missed you so much! Are you okay? Are all of you okay?"

"Yeah, we're all good. It was challenging, but we managed.”

“That’s good.” she flicks her eyes at Nikki who ended up falling back asleep against her chest before her eyes turned back to Rooster, “...and…the investigation? You didn’t answer me when I asked…”

Rooster's expression shifted slightly, "The investigation," he sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It didn't go unnoticed, Bea. I had a debriefing with the higher-ups. Mark's facing the consequences, and they're implementing some changes within the team. It's a necessary step to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

“So…Mark…”

“Yep.”

Her brows furrow, “Oh…well…would this be a bad time to say that Miranda is uh,gone?”

Rooster's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Gone? What do you mean, gone?"

Beatrice took a deep breath, then shrugged, sheepishly. "Well she’s…gone, out of her house. I don't know where she went, and honestly, I don't think I care. It's just... one less source of drama, I guess."

“...wait so, she just…bolted?”

Beatrice nodded, "Yeah, just packed up and left. Shells told me."

Rooster leaned back in his cot , absorbing the unexpected news. "Well, I'll be damned. That's...unexpected. And here I was, thinking she'd put up a fight. Or stay with Mark, fuck that’s some cruel shit."

"Guess even Miranda has her breaking point. Or maybe she realized she couldn't mess with me and get away with it."

Rooster grinned, proudly. "Damn right. You are a force to be reckoned with. But, seriously, Bea, are you okay? This is a lot to take in."

"Honestly?I think I am, Rooster. It's strange, you know? I expected this whole drama with Miranda to drag on,and on and on… and now she's just gone. It's like the universe decided to cut it short too."

Rooster's gaze softened. "Well,it's for the best. You don't need that kind of negativity, especially now. We can focus on moving forward without constantly looking over our shoulders."

Beatrice nodded, a sense of relief settling in. "Exactly. And with you back home, it feels like we can finally put all this behind us." she smiles, “How many weeks until you come home?”

"I'll be back in three weeks, Bea. "

Beatrice's eyes lit up at the thought. "Three weeks? That's not too bad. We can count down the days together.."

"I'd like that," Rooster agreed. "A break from the chaos, just us and the kids. And maybe a visit to the beach. What do you think?"

Beatrice's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The beach sounds perfect!  UghI can almost feel the sand between my toes already."

Rooster chuckled. "It's a plan then."

-

“It’s a plan then.” he smiles up at the phone and as Bea moves, he sees Nicole passed out on her mother’s arm, wavy golden brown hair dancing down her chubby cheek and her hands crossed over her tummy, “...she’s fast asleep.”

Beatrice gently cradled the sleeping Nikki in her arms, marveling at the tranquility that had settled over their impromptu celebration.She chuckled, careful not to disturb Nikki's peaceful slumber. "Yeah, she's out like a light.  The climbing down the stairs probably tired her out. Also,Roos,i don’t want to…keep on this subject but what will happen to Mark? Will…will you be okay?”

Rooster chuckled. "I'll have to watch out for her climbing skills when I'm back. And about Mark... well, there will be consequences for his actions. The Navy takes discipline seriously. He'll likely..well…let’s say Cyclone is not happy. With everything in the open, especially the obvious nepotism and favoritism…There will be consequences, and he'll have to face the disciplinary measures. It's a tough situation."

Beatrice nodded, her concern evident in her eyes. "I just hope it doesn't affect you too much. You already have a lot on your plate with the mission and everything."

Rooster offered a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine, Bea. I've seen my fair share of challenges in the Navy. This is just another bump in the road."

“Hm.”

“What?”

She licks her lip “...how do you feel about it? Like this whole thing? Are you…I dunno,surprised? Or no?”

Rooster leaned back, his expression thoughtful as he thinks on it. "Surprised? Not entirely. Disappointed? Yeah, a bit. I knew Mark had some…ambition, but I didn't expect him to go to such lengths. Using family connections like that, it's not what the Navy stands for. We all work hard to earn our ranks."

“And about Miranda? How are you feeling about her leaving? I mean, I know it's complicated, but..."

He sighed, running a hand through his hair,muscle on his jaw ticking. He doesn’t like to talk about either of them but Miranda grinds his gears because of how she was with Bea "I don’t know. I am…well,I guess angry. Because I feel like she’s a coward."

"Angry? Why do you think she's a coward?"

Rooster hesitated, his gaze fixed on some distant point as he gathered his thoughts,tongue rolling inside his mouth. She's just running away from the mess she created.That Mark is involved in too…I am angry by the whole situation but I’m angry because she messed with us.She messed with you."

Beatrice’s mouth curved into a little smile although her brows were still furrowed “...yeah. I know.I…I don’t know, actually.” she laughs softly, “...do you think she…knew about what Mark did?”

“She knew parts of it.”

“Oh?”

Rooster grunted, one of his hands moving to hold his pillow so he could keep the phone within eye level “She knew…some of it. She chose to help.”

"...I see" Beatrice murmured, more to herself than to Rooster. " And…this whole thing because of status,right?"

“Pretty much.”

“...well,thank you for sharing that with me. I appreciate it,Roos.”

Rooster's eyes softened, his gaze locked onto the phone screen. "Always, Bea. Honesty is the foundation of us, right?"

Beatrice nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Sure is.”

"So," Rooster said, attempting to shift the atmosphere, “What are your plans for tonight? Gonna celebrate Miranda’s…sudden escapade?”

“We might have a movie night, the kids’ first one too."

Rooster chuckled. " That sounds like a good way to unwind. What's on the watchlist for the little ones?"

"Well, considering Nikki's only one, we're thinking something animated and colorful. Maybe a Disney classic. What do you think?"

Rooster smiled, sighing through his nose. "Well,you can't go wrong with Disney. The twins might not fully appreciate it, but Nikki will love it."

Beatrice nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Exactly. And it's a good way to introduce them to the movies. You know, start them on the classics early."

"True. So, what's on the menu for the celebration? Any special treats or just a relaxed evening?"

"Some takeout I guess– comfort food, you know?Nothing too fancy!"

Rooster grinned. "Sounds like you've got everything covered. It's shaping up to be a great night."

"I hope so. We all need a break from the chaos. And, well, celebrating small victories is important, right?"

Rooster's eyes softened with affection. "Absolutely. Every victory, big or small, deserves recognition. And you, my love, deserve all the celebration in the world."

Beatrice blushed, feeling the warmth of Rooster's words. "Thank you, Roos. It means a lot to hear that. I'm glad you're a part of our little celebration, even if it's through a screen. and…well,right now hah."

"You are welcome. And hey, give Nikki and the twins a kiss for me, will you?"

"Of course, I will. They're already looking forward to seeing their daddy again.”

Rooster chuckled. "Anything else you need before the festivities begin?"

Beatrice paused, considering then slowly smiled. "Just your presence, Roos. That's all I need."

Oh his poor heart.

He wants to go home so bad.

Only three more weeks.

“Same here,gorgeous,same here.”

[volivolition]

Ok, ok, rank all the skills from your favorite to least.

You can do this two ways:

* just a big tierlist with all of them (can also include the funky ones [limbic system, ancient reptilian brain and tie])

* or 4 tierlistes with all the types separated

(You can choose what you like more)

Good luck >:]c

OH THIS IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE IVE HAD THIS TIERLIST READY FOR A WEEK NOW HAKJSH <33

it must be said that i love all of them, even the ones on lower tiers. they're all so lovable in their own ways <33

Endurance, my guy PLEASSEEEE get better ideology, but you're part of health gang squad and also want harry to live and you remind me of an older sibling who feels like he has to be the strong one while everyone else is weak, so you can stand in the way and protect the ones who can't take a blow. you will endure it... smiles sadly at him... 💙

Limbic System and Ancient Reptilian Brain!! i do love you, i promise, but the voice in my head that tells me i should sleep forever and never wake up has spoken to me for a long time and IM NOT LISTENING ANYMORE!!! we gotta live, little guys. there's a life worth living, worth waking up for. i know it's hard, little guys, but there's a future for us, i promise. also, lovely singing both of you!!

ough. in general i love all the skills. they all want what's best for harry but each of their definitions of "what's best for harry" skew wildly from "live a quiet, normal life" to "learn everything and infodump it to everyone" to "do every drug ever and then drink a whole bar's worth of liquor so you can get dopamine" to "go back to being a gym teacher!" to "FUCKING KILL EVERYONE YOU'RE NOT SAFE HERE" to "it's better in the dark isn't it? where you don't have to worry?" and im trying to understand all of their motives. i do love all of them. skills fan forever and ever <3333

OKAY THATS ALL THANKS FOR READING o7!!

[finniestoncrane]

first, huge congrats on your milestone! you absolutely deserve it and so much more! ☺️

and I just couldn't resist making a request for Daddy Oz uwu

could I get either "close to me" or "atomic" with him? I genuinely could not decide between the two of them, so go with whatever inspires you most!!

thank you so much!! ☺️☺️

-peng-anon 💜💜

🎀 No. 5: Close To Me 🎀

give me a character and i'll write some headcanons on what a first date with them would be like a/n: yes >:) YES >:) 1k milestone info! 🔞minors dni🔞 • kofi • tag: finnie1k

ok what's your favourite food? you don't even need to answer he already knows that's how good he is

he's picking you up in that ridiculous gold and purple car and demanding that you make him wait while you get ready, good things are worth the patience

can he choose a necklace for you to wear? and can he drape it over your neck and clasp it at the back? pretty please?

i've said this before but he's a proper polite boy, opens all the doors, pulls your seat out, lets you take a bite of his food so you can try a little of everything

money no object either while you're out with him, whatever you want, get it

and if they don't have anything you like, let him know, he'll go speak to the chef and contribute generously to the tip jar to make sure you get what you're hungry for

maybe afterwards, if you're not in a rush to get home, he could take you for a drive

let his hand sit on your lap the whole time, maybe steal a couple glances at you while you're stopped at the lights

show you a secluded spot with a good view of the city, quiet and private, where he can hold you close to him and kiss your forehead

and when he drops you back home, a kiss on your hand, and a kiss on your cheek, that's all he's after

he likes to earn his affections, the 'chase' is a big part of it for him

so first dates, you're not getting much else out of him

but doesn't that make you want a second one even more now?

trying to tag ppl ik listen to a lot of music lmao <3 as ever, no pressure uwu

false kings - poets of the fall

Getting lost singing their song Caught up in all I've done It's all I know, but not what I need Cut by my love, cut till I bleed

So I want to run to your shelter tonight Run to the shelter tonight United in silent resistance Of bowing to false kings So let me run to your shelter tonight Run from this meaningless pantomime I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence Of bowing to false kings

Bought their smiles, liquid and smooth Took their words for the truth Edge of light and shade My broken soul once more enslaved

So I want to run to your shelter tonight Run to the shelter tonight United in silent resistance Of bowing to false kings So let me run to your shelter tonight Run from this meaningless pantomime I see the false kings I see that all this Must end

When there's no love in my embrace Cold blood runs through my veins If I soar without grace Do I still soar I need the love in your embrace Open doors, brand new ways End my wars and erase And I'm yours

So I want to run to your shelter tonight Run to the shelter tonight United in silent resistance Of bowing to false kings So let me run to your shelter tonight Run from this meaningless pantomime I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence

Yes, I wined and, and I dined on, on that cyanide

valkyrie - caligula's horse

Wait You're holding your breath and not your ground, we're here again With a head full of war, you need it to fill the fight in your hands So scream at the wall, an echo calm spits back to say "I will not falter" Wait Pacify, survive, time's no symmetry You rattle the cage but to be still is not to be weak And you'll never run until you've got the strength to be on unsteady feet

Collide Breathe with me Peace is not your enemy Call for the Valkyrie

It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible

Oh, it's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? It's alright

Choose the way Unafraid and the wait hasn't even begun Together we choose the way (We choose the way) Collide Choose the way You can fight for the quiet, the old war Together we choose the way (We choose the way) Collide Choose the way The alive will strive to sever Untethered, we choose the way We're not there yet

Clinging to the weight of the world To static, the martyr to pride But you are the war The spite and its author You and I were born unready To stumble, to see Peace was never your enemy Go on and call for the Valkyrie

It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible

Oh, it's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? Oh, it's alright

🔥New Khr OC Questions🔥

💞Anyone welcome to participate! 💞

People really enjoyed themselves with the last list of questions I made! So I made an even bigger one!! So much so, I don't really expect anyone to answer all these questions. Just pick and choose whatever you want to answer if it's too much lmao

‼️This is not just for OCs! If you feels you've modified one of the canon characters so much that they're a whole different person now, tell me about them as well please!‼️

I will also tag a bunch of people whomst OCs I really enjoyed and remembered from the last list of questions! There will be some repeat questions here, so you can elaborate if you wanna or just skip those lmao

Tags under the Cut cause I will also give a lil commentary on the OCs I know so far. :3

‼️Also these Questions are mostly spoiler free so don't worry! Only one question asks about something that's introduced after the Varia Arc I think. I put a 🌸 next to that one.‼️

@juudaimes-true-form Amara & Ricardo were both very fun and I like knowing about them! But l Alexandros is a very good vibe I wanna know the him uwu

@einsatzzz Kana, Kurumi & Yui are Hella intriguing! Do pls elaborate on all of them! Particularly Yui has spiked my interest! Did you finish that art of him you were working on?

@heryemily5927 Hanabi is adorable please tell me more if you feel up to it! :D

@kiralushia Nozomi & Cloud! I would like to see both of them for this! But I also wanna know more about Arashi because she gets mentioned often too :3

@acedragontrainer Ayane & Yuki may have been randomly created but they are so gawddang fun! Please give them backstories with the questions here. If you wanna of course ^^

@masterdisastre Xavier is babiest Boi, but what about Dani!? And also pls tell me of any other OC you wanna talk about!! I'll treasure each and every single one of them! :D

@cloudspark You reblogged the old Questions once wondering if you'll find the time and motivation to introduce your OC, so I will tag you here too since there are more questions here. :3

@ciaossn Amalia is best lady pls tell me more even if her true origin story has been tragically lost ;w; I wish to know her as much as possible!

The Basics:

What's their name? Their pronouns? Sexuality? Gender Identity? Their Age and Ethnicity?

What do they look like? Body type? Identifying characteristic? Art or picrew of your oc? (No AI art pls.)

Why did you create this character? Just for fun? Or is there a purpose behind them? Maybe a canon character you created them for? As a friend, love interest, sibling, child, parent, rival, nemesis?

What's the family situation of your OC? If they have family, how about a brief summary of the relationships of their family to the canon characters?

What are their other notable relationships to Canon characters? (Example: Hibari's little brother also happens to be Tsuna's childhood best friend and Gokudera's love interest) If there are none right now, are there any plans for relationships in the future?

Does your Oc have disabilities? Mental illnesses, neurodivergencies, missing limbs, chronic pains, physical limitations, some kind of food sensitivity? Anything that affects their day to day life goes!

Combat Questions:

What are your OC's flames, if they have any? And how do they use their flames? Do they ever use them outside combat?

How do they prefer to fight? Do they know how to fight in a way they dislike or hate? (Example: Hibari prefers hand-to-hand combat and dislikes firearms, but he knows how to shoot someone if he has no choice)

Do they have formal training? How many fighting styles do they know? What weapons can they wield?

What are their strengths? Their weaknesses?

🌸Do they have a flame weapon, or a box weapon/animal? How did they get these weapons? What level ring (best S>A>B>C>D>worst E) do they wield? Can they use their ring efficiently? If no, why not?🌸

Oh no! Your OC is unable to fight! (Too tired, injured, whatever) How do they deal with the enemy now? Do they flee, still try to fight, call for backup, or what do they do?

Philosophical Questions:

Answer this first before reading/thinking further! Would your OC change anything about themselves if they could?

What's their favourite colours? Their favourite season? Their favourite weather? Their favourite animal?

What are their hobbies? What are they passionate about? Is there a passion they had to give up? If so, why?

What kind of people do they dislike? Do they like who they themselves are?

What is their biggest secret? What's the biggest/worst lie they ever told? What lie do they frequently tell themselves?

What's their darkest desire? What's their biggest hope for the future? If they had the money, how would they want to change the world they live in?

If the world ended tomorrow, how would they spend their last day on earth? Who would they want to be with? Their worst fear stands between them and saving the world, would they be able to overcome that fear to save the world?

What would be their civilain dream job? If they had to kill someone innocent to save a friend, would they be able to do it? How long would their choice haunt them? Would they be able to face their friend if they decided to sacrifice them, but things ended up working out?

Your OCs biggest, wildest dreams all just came true! What do they do next? Who do they celebrate with? How do they celebrate? Loud exhilaration or quiet disbelief?

After these questions, I ask again, what would your OC change about themselves if they could? Did the answer change?

Khr Character Questions! [Or 'I am putting the OCs in ✨situations✨']

Vongola:

Sawada Tsunayoshi burst into flames, flew into the sky and took out a missile that was headed towards the area your Oc was in. How do they go about interacting with Tsuna after that?

Gokudera Hayato dragged your OC to an empty classroom to investigate ghosts, but it turns out it was just teenagers. Hayato seems genuinely disheartened, does your Oc want to comfort him?

Sasagawa Ryohei just pulled your Oc away from oncoming traffic! He proceeds to ask them to join the boxing club! How do they go about rejecting him, given that he just saved their life?

Bovino Lambo just send your Oc ten years into the future! What situation did your Oc end up in? What's their reaction to this future?

Yamamoto Takeshi is sitting by himself, holding a baseball and looking oddly melancholic. Your OC does not know what is going on, except that usually Takeshi is a cheerful guy. Do they approach him? What do they say?

Hibari Kyoya comes across your Oc with a bleeding wound at his side. He is most obviously unwell, but also pissed, how does your Oc approach this situation?

Chrome Dokuro knows what your Oc did and it feels like she is judging them for their dirty secrets. How does your Oc try to buy her silence?

Rokudo Mukuro wandered into the dream your Oc had last night! Does he leave with even more trauma, creepily amused, weirdly charmed or thoroughly bored?

Fuuta DeLa Stella fianlly ranked your Oc first in something! What category did he rank them first in? What is your OC's reaction?

I-pin just blew up and then landed gently in the arms of your Oc. How do they react to this literal pipe bomb baby?

Sasagawa Kyoko handed your Oc Valentine's friendship chocolates and thanked them for looking after her brother! This might be a misunderstanding, but these are also the only/first chocolates your Oc was given, so what do they tell her?

Miura Haru made your Oc their dream outfit! But something significant about it is wrong, how does your Oc give critique on that?

Kurokawa Hana just called your Oc a monkey to their face. How ready, if at all, are they to throw hands with this civilain middle/high-school girl?

Arcobaleno:

Fon wants to share spicy curry with your Oc, but the spoon is glowing red hot. Does your Oc risk it?

Reborn shot someone infront of your Oc. Tsuna won't believe them. What will they do now?

Verde wants to study your Oc so he asks if they'd volunteer for science. No money is involved but they do get to hang out with Verde, do they take the offer?

Lal Mirch has taken over the CEDEF and there is a party that your OC somehow ended up invited to! Do they bring Lal a gift? If so, what kinda gift?

Colonnello got drunk from sipping some wine, he is sad, melancholic and heavily armed. How does your Oc handle the situation?

Skull thinks you're really cute and creative! He wants to know how you came up with your Oc? And your favourite scene of your Oc!

Viper just gave your OC a slice of pizza. Will they eat it? Are they aware of the risks? Are there risks?

Varia:

Xanxus meets your Oc at a bar and tells them to get him a drink. What does your Oc do? If they make an order, what would they order for Xanxus?

Belphegor is staring at your OC from a distance and chuckling maniacally. What wardrobe malfunction did he notice on your OC?

Lussuria slings his feather scarf around your Oc and tells them they're a cutie. How does your Oc respond to the sudden flirting and closeness? Do they know Lussuria is powerful as well as queer?

Levi-a-Than just told your Oc that they'd be so pretty if they put a bit more effort into their look. How does your Oc react?

Superbi Squalo yells so loud it's almost bothering your Oc! How do they tell him to quiet down? How long do they last in the every-man-for-himself Varia-style brawl that comes next?

Mammon is wanting to extort your Oc for money. What blackmail material does Mammon have to do so? (What is an embarrassing thing your Oc did that Mammon could reasonably find out about?)

Fran is getting on your OC's nerves, constantly and seemingly very much on purpose. Everyone else is already using that boy as target practice, so does your Oc join in?

Others:

Dino Cavallone compares your OC to Tsuna. Is your Oc insulted by the comparison? What if it was accurate?

Dino's right hand man Romario invites your character out for a drink! What drink do they order to impress, intimidate, or endear themselves to the Cavallone Familia? Or do they reject the invite entirely?

Hibari's right hand man Kusakabe Tetsuya thinks your Oc is too noisy and tells them to shut up if they don't want to get bitten to death. Does your Oc take that as a challenge? Hibari Kyoya does not seem to be nearby in the first place... (He is watching from a nearby roof)

Something got past the safety on your OC's garbage cans and made a massive mess! Ken stands as the main, but not the only suspect. Does your Oc make that accusation? Do they worry they would offend Ken for accusing him of that, just for having more animalistic behaviours?

Chikusa's yoyo just flipped off it's string and bonked your Oc on the head. He acts apologetic, but your Oc has a feeling he did that on purpose. How does your Oc proceed?

The Last Question!!

Please gimme links as to where people can find stories or art about your OCs!

Thank you for reading and answering if you do! :D

[starlightsearches]

Aaaaand maybe track 11, with Eddie? I’d choose a love song for him, but I really am curious as to what you’d do with this song…..eheh….ya know it, fave song is Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo 😅❤️❤️❤️

All Dressed Up with Nowhere to Go

Track 11 - Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen: Pick a character and tell me your favorite song, and I'll write a short blurb or headcanons based on it.

Kas! Eddie x GN! Reader

thank you, irma! i'd never listened to dead man's party before, but it fucking SLAPS. i hope you like what i made for you 🥰

📼✨ mixtape milestone ✨📼 requests open through march 1st

Warnings: drinking, puking, ANGST, talk of death and mourning, making out, blood sucking for the sluts uwu, language, a very open ending

Your hand is getting cold.

You let your eyes wander down briefly, stopping when you spy the cause. There's punch spilling over the edge of your cup, trickling down your hand and leaving a sticky red stain behind.

Your mind's been on the run all night—or at least after the last four drinks—always looking for something simple to focus on but never staying long.

The sweaty condensation dripping down the windows. The thumping base traveling from the dance floor. And now the way the punch shines like blood against your skin in the spooky lights Steve spent the afternoon hanging.

"Hey, hey, hey."

A big hand covers your own, reaching for the cup, and you pull it back on instinct, trying to place the pretty brown eyes.

Steve. Of course. Speak of the devil.

He looks handsome, and very Harrison Ford-esque in the vest you found together at the costume shop. The costume fits him better than the Leia dress does you. In all the billowing white fabric, you look like a ghost every time you catch your own reflection.

So maybe that fits you fine. You hardly feel like you're here at all.

There's a crease between Steve's brows, and he reaches for the cup in your other hand. You pull back on instinct, sloshing punch in the other direction. It lands with a loud splat on the floor.

"I think you've had enough," he says softly.

Steve purses his lips, and you know he's holding back a whole slew of unhelpful phrases. You've heard them all—I know it's hard, but you have to try and enjoy yourself. Eddie wouldn't want you to be sad. He wouldn't want you to spend his favorite holiday crying into a pillow or blacked out on my couch. He'd want you to move on.

But Eddie's been dead for six months. So who gives a fuck what he would want.

You pull the cup to your lips, drink and drink and drink, letting the sweet sting burn any chance of tears from your eyes.

Steve only put this party together for your benefit. It was a nice gesture—going through the list of couple's costumes you and Eddie made together before, mashing the playlist of songs Eddie loved with ones people would actually want to dance to.

But you wish he hadn't. You wish he had let you wallow.

The empty cup crushes against Steve's waiting hand. You sway a little closer so he can hear you over the music.

"I'm gonna go dance."

There's a splash of guitar from the speakers, and you know it's one of your songs from the confused looks of everybody on the dance floor. Whatever. They get over it, swept up in the beat.

You let it take you, too, swinging around wildly, flailing with no concern how you look or who's watching. There was nobody around you wanted to impress anymore.

Eddie wouldn't care what you looked like anyway. He was a shit dancer.

Fuck.

The room is spinning. You're trying to keep with the beat, but there's the same lyrics, echoing over and over and over in your head.

dead man dead man dead man deadmandeadmandeadman. dead.

You're going to fucking puke.

Fighting through the crowd is like wading through a pool of bricks, which would still fucking suck if you were sober, and you are not. Catching on thrown back hands and angel wings, you stumble into the bathroom, just bending over in time to avoid vomiting a red stain down the front of your dress.

Your head has it's own heartbeat, pounding behind your eyes. You dip your cheek down to meet the cool porcelain.

There's no avoiding it. Hot tears spill over your face, plopping like raindrops into the basin. Fucking rock bottom, crying over your dead boyfriend on filthy toilet seat.

There's the sound of the door shutting and latching, just audible over your sobs. You lift your head, so dizzy and sad and hopeless it makes you angry.

"God," you're yelling, loud enough for it to echo off the tiles, "can't you see there's somebody fucking—"

He looks just like you remember him. And not in a good way.

The room already smells like sulfur, the way everything did down there—like sulfur and mold and fucking death. Eddie brought it with him. He brought it all. The holes in his hellfire shirt, scars peaking out of his collar, the mud and shit and blood staining his clothes.

He's got dark blue bags under his eyes, like bruises, cheeks sallow. Looking almost as tired as you feel. But he smiles, just the way he used to.

"Wow, sweetheart," —Eddie's voice is deep and gravelly as he kicks a boot up against the door, nodding back in the direction of the party— "this all for me?"

"Eddie."

That comes out as a sob, too.

He crosses the room in a few strides, a big hand at soft at your back, petting strands of hair off your sweaty forehead.

"Hey princess," he tries to smile, "long time no see."

Jesus. Your head's still spinning. You might puke again. It doesn't help that Eddie keeps going in and out of focus, like maybe you're dreaming this all up, the way his skin feels and the smell of him and the cute little curls in front of his ears.

"You were dead."

He huffs at you. "I think, technically, sweetheart, I still am."

He pulls one of your hands toward his chest, and there's nothing beneath it. No heartbeat. Just Eddie.

He doesn't expect it, the way you launch yourself at him, pulling him to floor. Eddie laughs, wraps his arms around you, his shaking lungs and the feel of his hands full of disbelief.

"I missed you."

You can tell he's missed you, too. He nods into your neck, hot breath on your skin.

"Why didn't you come back before?"

"Halloween seemed like a good time," he whispers, looking you in the eye, "wouldn't want to scare the neighbors."

His lips press tighter together. There's something he's not telling you. If you weren't so fucking high, you'd try to figure it out.

But you are fucking high—high out of your mind—and there's only one thing you want to do right now.

Eddie doesn't taste like death. He tastes like he used to, in the back of his van, in his bed or on the couch, his hands on you and his wandering lips, just bodies and kisses and nothing in between.

"Fuck, baby," he grunts, nipping at your ear, "you gotta be careful with me."

You shake your head. There's enough blood in him for the skin at his neck to turn a shade darker when you bite at it.

Eddie's hips shift against yours. He's breathing harder, although you're not sure where it goes, or what his lungs do with it once it's there.

"Can I- can I taste you, baby?"

"Mhmm."

It feels so good to be caught up in his arms again, you don't even notice the sting when his lips seal around your neck, the way his throat pulses with swallow after swallow. The groan he lets out is pained when he finally rips himself off of you.

Eddie cups your cheeks in both hands, thumbs petting at the left-over tears.

"Awww, baby. I don't think I should have done that."

You hardly hear him. Everything is fuzzy. You let your eyes fall closed, and the soft brush at your hairline could be his lips, or something you made up.

And then he's gone.

Steve's beside you when you lift your head again.

"Jesus, what the fuck happened to you? Robin found you on the floor and thought you were dead."

He's wiping at your neck with a cloth, or paper towel or something, and it hurts.

What did happen to you?

"I- I think I fell."

Steve hums, disapproving, cleaning the dripping blood from your neck, smoothing a bandage over the skin.

When you pull it off the next morning, all that's left of Eddie—or your vision of him—are two perfect little puncture wounds, and a few bruises in the shape of teeth.

the little green monster

Obviously, there's a lot of thirsty women on tumblr. Are you at all jealous of how freely they ask-without-quite-asking for attention? (The mating call of the hypno-inclined SWF... "I am sooo drunk and open to suggestions now, uwu!." I find it very endearing.

Oof... I mean. That's a tough question. I admit to having maybe embarrassed myself a time or two, looking for a hypnotist that's a good match on Discord. But am I jealous of the way some people do... that? Not really.

I mean if I'm being totally honest, if it actually WORKED it'd be kinda hot. But it's my experience that most guys Say they're into that, but actually aren't. Also the ones that are, or even Say they are, usually are pretty big jerks =/

There's exceptions of course, to every rule so if you happen to be someone who messages the girls who do that, I'm sure you're one of the non-jerks ;)

I did do a comic with sort of a joke of "me" doing something like that... Let me see if I can find it.

Ahh, found it. It's in set 16. But I don't have a safe for tumblr copy ready. Guess you will have to wait ;)

I'll tell you what I AM sort of jealous of though. I'm jealous of the people who feel free enough to show off their bodies. I don't look like how I Want to look, but I'm pretty attractive if you're into my "type" ( I mean I'm not, but I know many are). I could do an only fans, or that kind of thing, I'm not shy. And I'm human. Being praised for being hot is gratifying, I won't deny that. I like it when people look, even if I wish they were looking for different reasons.

But I like my life. I really do. Problems and difficulties and all. And if I were "outed", it would blow up my life in a way that I am very much NOT willing to risk for some ego validation and some money. So that's just never going to happen, sorry guys ;)

Someone wise said that if you are going to be jealous of someone, you need to take everything, the good and the bad. You can't pick and choose. Are you jealous of that guys car? Well it comes with massive debt, a wife who left him, and kids that won't speak to him. Still jealous? If not, move on. The bits and pieces of lives can't be chosen a-la-carte. It's good advice. It helps to think about if you get too fixated on some asshole who seems to have it so good. Take a closer look. Bet they don't.

3, 19, 25 for choose violence!

thanks for the ask peaches!!

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

hmmmm this is an interesting question. i try not to get involved with shipping/character discourse because I know for a fact that i'll just get mad and break something.

with that being said, someone else's answer reminded me of this, and that was the screensho that said aang was just as bad of a father as ozai. which... W H A T ?

there's just so much fandom twisting of aang that i feel like i shouldn't have been surprised... but i was. i just... i can't. i can't deal with a take like that. so i'm just gonna pretend i've never seen it and move on with my happy little fandom corner 😌

hmmm... what were we talking about again?

there was another take that's just fandom culture in general that is not nearly as bad, but it still boils my blood. i once got into an argument with a dude who believed that if the creators of atla had spelled everything out explicitly, then there wouldn't be as much drama over ships and stuff, i.e. if the atla creators had shown every single moment of kataang in the show/explained every little motivation of the characters, then there wouldn't be such bad takes floating around on the internet.

first of all: no, that's not how fandom works. second of all: storytellers don't spell out everything for a reason. they craft the narrative in such a way that the audience should be able to pick it apart and understand the motivations/actions of a character in the heat of the moment... especially in the heat of the moment. i could go on and on, but i don't have that much time, so i'll just leave it with this:

SHOW, DON'T TELL.

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

hmmm... maybe platonic azulaang? i don't actually like them in canon or anything, it's more of like... in an alternate universe where they were both friends, what would their dynamic be like? i think it would be the utter hilariousness of it all that intrigues me about them. i don't think i would've even considered had i not seen some fanart of them meditating, with aang being very mellow and azula looking at him in confusion.

still, platonic and in an alternate universe. mostly i'm just indifferent to the ship and the possibility in canon.

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

anything that's tagged with "[character] deserves better" has got me IMMEDIATELY side-eyeing them, especially if it's aang or katara. mostly katara, cuz a certain sector of the fandom loves to rant about how the creators did her dirty by pairing her with aang and proceed to demonize him while uplifting poor uwu zuko who's never huwt a fwy.

fun fact (or not so fun, depending on how you look at it): i was doing this poll on what atla female character they think gets done dirty by fandom - highlighting this because it's important. then one day, i was just minding my business, going about my day, when i decide to check the poll. i open the app, notice that there's been some activity, and silly old me decided to check out my notifs.

and holy. crap.

someone had rbed the poll with an entire essay. in the tags. about why it was katara and how she was done dirty by bryke. like, i literally had to keep scrolling to get to the end of the rb. and like. yes, i'm fine with the poll reaching other fandoms. but also. please note that i literally said in the question, "by fandom."

when i tell you i was so tempted to tell them, "see you just proved my point"...

but i didn't. i just quietly clicked their profile, blocked them, and logged off tumblr.

ohhhhhhhhhhh boi 🫠

💘💫🤍🪄 🦋 for the ask thing!

ehehe thank u anon!!!!

💘 Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

honestly kind of all of them? i am chronically dissatisfied with my end products—mostly because i look back at them and see nothing so much as pacing issues, and a propensity to attribute too much emotional intelligence to my pov characters. i'm not going to rewrite them, but if i had a perfect world and limitless time, i'd rework both Sweet Hope and a pearl in my hand. they're both so good, but they could be so much better :')

💫 What is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

i'm very partial to the comments that involve people quoting the bits that personally victimized them >:3c with a very loud shout-out to the wildly sincere and personal ones—i write because reading has helped me through every hard moment in my life, and hearing that i've given that gift to other people means the fucking world to me

🤍 What's one fic of yours you think people didn't "get"?

i think generally people pick up what i'm laying down, but one thing that irks me a little is a minor trend of people reading Sweet Hope and walking out with the "Maia Drazhar Is An UwU Cinnamon Roll" thing still lodged in their heads. as a person who's been categorized by many abusers/toxic loved ones as A Faultless Ray Of Sunshine, i can say that it's an awful, awful place to be, and unfortunately i take my job as Disillusioner Of Maia Drazhar's Fawn Image very personally whoops, which was kind of a central motivator for me in writing that story? like that's one of the core themes, right? maia's aunt attributes a faultless and innate Goodness™ to maia, and everyone gets Upsetti about that because they all recognize that maia chooses to be good, though he has every reason in the world to be callous and cruel—and that it's the deliberate choice of compassion and consideration that defines him, and not some like. idk built-in Sweetness Coding. he is not good or sweet—he chooses goodness and sweetness, and that distinction is very, very important to me, and to my interpretation of maia, because it allows for the complexity of human (elvish lmao) error. he doesn't always say the right thing, nor should he be expected to by those closest to him. he doesn't always make the correct choice, nor does anyone. so like. idk!! he's not A Cinnamon Roll!!! that is very reductive to me and rubs me very wrong!!!!!!!!

🪄 What is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you've finished a fic?

if it's a longer fic, there is a great deal of celebratory shouting and probably some excited dancing, followed by a jittery lap around the house before obsessively refreshing the fic page to watch the hits go up lmaooooo. for ficlets, i tend to say "NICE" very loudly, drop it and go do something else with a warm ember of satisfaction in my heart. usually there is a little drink involved in both of these.

🦋 What are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

oh boy uhh, everything kind of!! i worry a lot about my characterizations, bc i definitely have Opinions and i've come this far without getting my ass cancelled but i do worry about dumb stuff like oh no what if people don't like that i refuse to believe goblin emperor elves are all Literally paper-white and perfectly blonde or shit i shouldn't have leaned so hard into selectively mute link. and i do worry too about the self-indulgent Breakdown parts of my writing, eg the whole scene in Sweet Hope of maia breaking down at the opera or the big in pearl in my hand where link wigs the fuck out on sidon. those always feel too loud to me, somehow, like i've allowed myself and my characters too much license or awareness or Clarity or something? i usually refuse to reread those parts of stories tbh. like i'll do a cursory editing pass and then never ever touch those sections again bc i just get so embarrassed ;alkdfjwa;d
