It'd truly be a shame if I just updated a chapter.

It'd be such a shame if I created a new blog that has a strong possibility of never getting said questions.

On a side note. This is getting updated today or tomorrow. Also, all fic updates will be transferred to this account solely.

It’s unfortunate I don’t have many friends in Ace attorney

However-

My explanation on my Reincarnated Phoenix Au

Phoenix (obviously) dies and is reincarnated into his Feenie era body.

This is basically my excuse for Phoenix to be such a bitch to every and be justified for it.

Also somewhat time travel fix it??

I think Phoenix has tried going to Miles’ trials in the past but is bad at time and keeps getting distracted (Adhd) therefore keeps missing the damn trials.

This time around Phoenix DOES end up getting there in time and wearing a disguise.

By which unfortunately Miles sees through. And he ends up (stalking) Watching Phoenix in any trial he can.

All those sarcastic remarks? Yeah they’re said.

Mia’s death? doesn’t happen.

Phoenix wears a better outfit and wears his scarf like he should’ve.

Oh and Dahlia? Phoenix fucking trashes her in the trial.

Phoenix acts innocent and oblivious while in Feenie era and more then willing to take a bitch down.

This isn’t as connected to the au as more my own headcanon.

However, Phoenix’s Magatama is still with him in the reincarnation au, I think despite whoever puts spiritual power in it, gets bounded to a person the Magatama chooses, Phoenix’s green magatama isn’t a common color we see on other fey members or just other acolytes.

Something I always found that strange despite knowing that it was given to him by a fey member.

Oh and Phoenix’s Scarf now has a little pocket for the magatama, + decorations at the ends so he doesn’t accidentally unravel it.

When Oswick "Redtusk" Crakehall first kidnapped Tobiah Martell and Gwyndon Pyke, I don't think he realised what he'd be getting into. I'm finally compiling a bunch of my sketches from earlier in our ASOIAF TTRPG campaign!

Randomly consumed today by the thought of henghill cuddles, but like from a specific point in their relationship, like after they've only recently started laying in the same bed together.

It's something that takes them a long time to work up to; they both have nightmares, and yeah, Dan Heng is a Vidyadhara and he can heal himself beyond anything Boothill could accidentally do to him, but still. Boothill is made of metal now. He's heavy. It wouldn't take much, just a single flailing limb to cause some damage. He still gets up after Dan Heng falls asleep, and sneaks down into the guest cabin in one of the other cars.

But he'll lay in bed with Dan Heng until then. At first Boothill would always try to situate a blanket between them, because well. Metal isn't exactly pleasant to cuddle. But more and more lately, he's noticed Dan Heng keeps worming his way around their soft barrier and just kind of...rubbing his hand along him? Open palm up the curve of his side, across the planes of his chest, into the star-shape at his solar plexus, down the plates of his abdomen, back to his side again. Fingertips tap soundlessly against metal, or press into dents and divots, or smooth over old scars in the steel.

"Ya don't hav'ta do that, ya know."

"Does it bother you?"

Dan Heng's hand has already stopped, settling somewhere on the futon, neutral ground. Boothill clarifies that no, it doesn't bother him. But he can't feel any of it. He only knows he's doing it because he can see the motion out of the corner of his eye. Dan Heng doesn't need to go through the extra effort to do things for him like he would someone with a normal human body.

And Dan Heng goes quiet, just long enough that Boothill gets curious and turns to look at him over his shoulder. He has the cute little furrow between his brows, like when he's thinking.

And then he opens that pretty mouth of his and says, "That's alright, I think I'm doing it for myself, anyway" and Boothill nearly wheezes because wow, Dan Heng is almost never quite that honest when it comes to himself fdklsajlkd

Boothill cackles in surprise and asks point blank what he means, because what could he be getting out of that? Given the implied permission, Dan Heng's hand starts it's usual route again. Side, chest, solar plexus, abdomen, side. Boothill can practically hear him chewing on his words.

"I like that you're warm," is what he finally says, and Boothill suddenly feels like a bullet has just grazed something vital. "All the processes you run increase your temperature," Dan Heng's hand fans out across a span of steel and he holds it there, like he's soaking up the heat. "And your metal is smooth, it feels pleasant to touch," his fingertips move in circles, slip into a divot perfectly sized, rub back and forth. Boothill silently wills one of his cooling fans threatening to open up to stay closed.

"I like how you feel under my hands. That's all." Headshot! No recovery possible.

"...Suit yerself, then," and Boothill quickly turns back over before Dan Heng can see it in his face, how close he just hit to his heart.

Maybe I don't follow other fandoms as much as I follow Kuroshitsuji fandom and maybe it's just me but why is this fandom so toxic? Why is this fandom so fixated on their theories and assumptions so much to the point where they try to shove their opinions as facts down to other people's throats even though it's definitely not canon? Reading the manga and interpreting everything in your own way and coming up with theories and sharing them is wonderful. Nobody's stopping anybody from doing that and many theories are quite helpful and gives every readers a broader perspective. I definitely appreciate the people who works so hard to put 2 and 2 together and realized that there are twins even before it was officially revealed. We need that type of intelligent and observant people in every fandom since it provides so much insight and knowledge.

But then there are those who try to spread misinformation and assumptions as real facts and others are just eating it all without being bothered to do their own research. And I could give so many examples. Starting from how Yana said that Kuro is supposed to be yaoi but that won't sell much, then how SebaCiel or Lizzy x Ciel or Sullivan x Ciel ship is canon, then how Sebastian took Vincent's looks so that Ciel trusts him more (despite Yana clearly addressing the "same face syndrome"), then how OCiel hates Lizzie and is just keeping up with her just because he's forced to even though it's him who decided to play the fiance part (I'm pretty sure that if he refused to carry it out after coming back from that hellhole, even whilst pretending to be Ciel, then maybe nobody would be actually forcing him to do that), then how everybody hated OCiel for being sick and only loved Real Ciel, then how Real Ciel was evil even before dying or how he's so bad with servants even though none of those servants were his (except Tanaka) and the only thing he told them was to shut up or lower their voice in front of the master of the house. That's just it. Also where did he treat Sebastian badly, not like I would have cared anyway but the question still remains? He just asked him that how dare he play with his dead body and disrespect him. Who wouldn't even ask that if they came back from the dead? Who would be even as calm and collected as Ciel? Most would be quite angry and lose their shit if they are standing in front of a being that disrespected their dead body.

The yaoi part isn't even a theory but a rather lame rumor and I would say that all these other ones are also quite bad takes and barely theories. You need to provide some solid evidence and connections in order to make a valid, well thought-out theory and none of these rumors/theories have that to suggest anything (Theories about the ships and relations can make sense and can be entertaining then Real Ciel being evil or at least being related to the manor attack is the only well thought-out theory here but again, I have no intention of talking shit about good/average/bad/ridiculous theories here and theories can be good or bad, but I'm just talking about those who claim certain things as facts and not just theories but don't even have evidence to back that up). Many just read certain theories, take their favorite parts from a certain theory, run with it and pretend as if they themselves came up with that shit and treat that as facts. How delusional. Also, what a shame that it's been years yet people still believe these liars and these liars are still spreading such misinformation and still clinging on to their delusions despite others proving them wrong over and over.

Since leaving Winterfell her life has become a series of befores and afters, of thens and nows. Yet she can’t help feeling like she is staring down the edge of a precipice. She was raised to practice her curtseys and mind her manners, not plot murder and conspiracy.

Still, she plasters another dimpled smile on her face and sips her wine, wondering how anyone in King’s Landing could think she would choose to submit to her fate. She’s a Lady, yes, but she is still a Stark.

She always will be.

--

Or;

In an alternate timeline the Starks are a little older, a little wiser, a little more dangerous. It doesn't save them, it only makes them bare their teeth—as wolves are prone to do.

Well...here's something new! Just a short prelude, I plan on posting the first chapter tomorrow, but I hope you check this out. It's probably going to end up being another behemoth, which means a long haul, but essentially it's an "older stark kids" AU which will be a bit of a canon rewrite where the Starks start out about ten years older than they were in canon (ish lol, as always playing fast and loose with timelines etc).

I've never had a fic with a jumping off point at the very beginning of the story, so I figured it's time. Plus the main idea of this fic was the first idea for a story I ever had way back before I ever wrote any fic at all.

So excited to see where this one goes! :)

I was just ambushed within the turbulent halls of my own mind by some headcanons about rye ingellvar's childhood that did 15000000 points of psychic damage to me and my heart personally and also made me almost sure of how I want to play it all at the end (very very differently from how I imagined going in!). some 'oh holy fuck this changes everything' rocking my own world bullshit going on in my neurons right now I'm reeling

I've decided that the only way I can get closure on all of the violent excitement I feel over Spies are Forever takes 2 simple steps

Step 1: Meet Curt Mega (and or Joey Richter)

Step 2: Violently shake his shoulders while failing to form coherent thoughts

Am I aware this will never happen? Yes. Yes I am, but listen I also didn't think I could draw all 55 saf characters and I did soooooo

I thought I worked today, so I fumbled a bro meetup aaaaaaa.

Culmination of the week I guess, but…

I did make it to the other store and stockpiled a bunch of the good noodles, some ingredients to make a really decadent stuffed shell, and found my favorite mom and pop liquor store is selling 1.5 L of cucumber vodka for like. Eight bucks. So it’s been…productive in a Calm Before The Storm kinda way.

Good morning gamers!! Hope you're all doing well! As for me, I'm thinking about this bastard again-

[ruelpsen]

If I had to choose between cutting off my hand and redoing grad school apps, I'd seriously consider the hand. Be gentle with yourself, it's a fucking slog. What kind of program are you looking into?

Thank you for the reminder to be gentle. This shit has been stressful, and having for various reasons only about a month and a half to actually do focused work on applying has SUCKED. Not looking forward to potentially having to do this again in the future (it's complicated but I'll explain why in a sec), but I am SO looking forward to two weeks from now when these applications are in and it's out of my hands, as much as the waiting game itself sucks in its own way.

As for programs, I don't want to get too specific. I was a double major in undergrad, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I've literally never met anyone else with those two specific majors. (Ftr one is a STEM field and the other in the humanities.) I want to keep studying both in some capacity in the future, but to make a long story short I'm stuck in a position where I have to hold off on applying to the program in the humanities for now.

As annoyed as I am about the 'long story' part of that, I'm totally fine with prioritizing the program in STEM for now. Hell, in some ways that's a good thing given the limited amount of time I have to work on applications. But at the same time, I've greatly limited the number of schools I'm applying to so I can focus on creating well-tailored applications for their specific programs and faculty, and that means each potential rejection would leave me with a far smaller share of options. It's a bit of a risk, but damn it I'm trying my best to show how strong of a student I've been and that I would work well with their specific people. Hopefully things work out in the end.

I hope your own efforts have paid off too, wherever life has taken you.
