#so another thank you to those who read through these ramblings 😅

[aheathen-conceivably]

Did someone say Simblr Gratitude Day? ✨

Y’all will have to forgive me for not having more prepared to show the immense gratitude I have for y’all today (a special thank you to @armoricaroyalty for the idea!) so please instead have a characteristic rant because I love you all and I can’t let that go without being said!

There’s no possible way for me to tag everyone I am grateful for because there is/has been so many of you who have helped and inspired me along the way. Also there’s so many of you who make the community what it is by reading or sharing, so I want to thank all of you beyond just those mutuals and content creators I appreciate. So thank you…

❤️ To all my Fellow Simblrs both big and small:

I know how utterly strange this little hobby can be. It can suck you in and spit you back out, take our attention for weeks and months at a time and then burn you out. It can be immensely fulfilling, creatively inspiring, and then exhausting. Thank you all for continuing to post here every day, for making this community a vibrant and lively space for those who have been here for years, the teenage simblrs just finding their sea legs, and for the new people stumbling into the community every day. Thank you for inspiring me and welcoming me and making me want to come back every day!

❤️ To my fellow Decades and Historical simmers:

What a strange and serendipitous moment when I fell into this little niche world. I would never have thought there were so many of us who find so much joy in combining these two hobbies and interests, so to see you all out here thriving and creating was a wonderful moment. Thank you to CC creators/mod makers/recolorers/builders/pose makers/and anyone else who makes this possible at all. Without y’all how could we transform this game into the historical wonderland we’ve come to love?

Another huge thank you to anyone who’s ever posted their decades challenge or historical content, to those doing gameplay or those who fell down the challenge to storytelling pipeline (hello it’s me) or those who share their edits and lookbooks. Y’all have all inspired me more than y’all can know.

❤️ To my mutuals and simblr besties:

The moment we utter ~mutuals~ on this site y’all know exactly what I mean. Like a little telekinetic bond that when I see your content or you see mine you know that’s exactly why we’re here, and I’ll support you every damn time. Thank you to those in the notes, those I speak to regularly, and those who I may not know as well; y’all are all the lifeblood of my dash and I have found many little icons I know immediately. Even if I don’t see you for a while you’re still in my mind and I’m so grateful for that.

A special above and beyond shoutout to those who have helped make the story happen at all. Those who have patiently walked me through technical skills and editing techniques and those who read my rough drafts and give me absolutely invaluable feedback. And of course those who finally pulled me down the reshade rabbit hole despite my unbecoming stubbornness. Y’all know who y’all are and seriously, would I even still be writing without y’all?

❤️ To anyone who has ever read, engaged with, or enjoyed my story:

I just…I cannot even possibly fathom how to show my gratitude to y’all. I never intended for my small little hobby to completely take over my brain, or for my decades challenge to become a story to this degree. But little by little it has done so, and I have y’all to thank for that. To those in the community who found me when I was a baby simblr and reblogged me, or those who encouraged me when getting more than 10 notes a post was an exciting feat. To anyone who has enjoyed a single picture or a single post, to the casual readers, and those who have jumped aboard along the way.

I am grateful for every interaction. Every single like and comment and reblog brings joy to my day and inspiration to continue creating. But a very special thank you to those I see in my notes every story post, who have been here from the beginning or gone back to read the story despite having literally hundreds of posts to go through. To those that know my characters and take the time to comment on them with emotion and investment. For all the joy this community brings me, those are the moments when I’m really stunned at my presence here and this little space you’ve all helped me create, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you all ❤️

Hi!

My thoughts about what I'm about to point out aren't coherent yet but you're the first person I thought of when it came to me

So Yuuji's still missing his left pinky finger after Sukuna changed vessel and RCT can't fix that because that's a piece of Yuuji's soul that was ripped off

And now I'm following the theory that the finger in the last panel is the one that was imbued in Yuuji from birth that he removed himself through his ring finger

And in my brain it's like 'there's some skit bs going on here' and idk if I'm making sense because I'm not sure of where this is going 😅 but with the left ring finger being associated with engagements and weddings getting rind of the last piece of the other's soul through that finger could be akin to throwing away your wedding ring (the divorce era is real) but maybe they've rotten my brain a bit too much

In any case I'm looking forward to any thoughts you have on this chapter (and thank you for reading my ramblings) <3

Hi there anon!

I love your thought process and the fact that you remembered that! It would be extremely fitting (even if far-fetched for those who are not as insane as we are) because they just big sigh. They just have to act like that and be that way lol. I wouldn't put it past our dear author who delivered a lot on sukuita week no less (that is still some crazy coincidence) to again make something about them both. If not the finger, then the soul connection, if not that then something else. Like Gege definitely didn't need to write Yuuji chasing after his inner demon and spending time with him (hell, saying he was frantic and wanting Sukuna to indulge him), especially not when that same demon is someone who continually kept ruining his life and took the very person Yuuji confessed he feels lonely without, but here we are.

I'm waiting for the official chapter to drop so I can really get the whole picture since leaks are just a tiny piece. Shipping aside, I don't know what to make of that panel with Sukuna's finger. jjk is pretty close to ending now and hence, I am skeptical. I really wish for there to be another arc after Shinjuku because it feels very off to me to end everything in like two more chapters. I'm hoping for more because it still feels like there's more left. Maybe I'm just insane and will be missing this manga a lot which is why I'm sensing that, idk.

Divorce arc has never been realer now and it's lowkey slightly painful to me since Yuuji wanted a compromise. What's very fucking funny still is that Yuuji reached out to him, first and foremost, realized he can't affect him (that sad look in his eyes) and then switched back to his usual response. Meanwhile Sukuna's still pretending he doesn't care even though he indulged Yuuji and spent nearly an entire day with him before he finally snapped when he realized Yuuji was sad about him lol. Still, the vehement anger Sukuna feels is keeping me rather well fed because Sukuna has no business being so against Yuuji saving Megumi. Like why?? He had no trouble being patient and even explaining his viewpoint when Yuuji DE-ed them away and talked about himself, but then the second Yuuji mentioned saving Fushiguro, he's shaking with rage and promising to kill everyone Yuuji loves.

Chapter 265 is literally:

yuuji: spend some time with me

sukuna: ok

yuuji: so here's what i realized

sukuna: why are you telling this to me oh my god i don't care like i understand your point but i don't feel anyth—

yuuji: i want to save fushiguro

sukuna: 😡🤬😡🤬😠😠🤬😡🤬😡😠🤬 (that wasn't meant for me?!?!?!?!)

I am also brain rotting hard about everything. 266 fueled my brain and filled it with one-sided sukuita fic ideas which are just peak angst and I live for angst so yeah. I'll have to get to writing soon because I have a lot of ideas for these two (the writers block is keeping me away from that, as is my slightly limited english vocabulary and real life unfortunately).

Thank you for sending this ask, anon, and also thank you for listening to me ramble about these two as well! <3 I'm more than happy to discuss these two for eternity because they just make me insane.

[madstronaut]

I recommend bringing popcorn while binging this absolutely stunning firstfic(?!)

first off I am deeply pleased to be rambling once again over one of my earliest and beloved moots' fics

I have been biding my time to savor reading branchy’s very first (?!) fanfic works below and the best way to describe what it feels like to read KM is like watching an action movie but in writing - also once again fucking stunned by the fact this was her first fic; absolutely blown away by how many incredible firstfics i have read that rival published fic out there imho

reading: The Killing Moon by @deadbranch

I listened to the song ‘Killing Moon’ by Echo & The Bunnymen while reading this and it took me straight back to the 90s and thought of the hours of Charmed I watch for some reason...btw if a fic you read mentions certain songs playing in the storyline, highly recommend listening while reading for a full cinematic experience ✨

“Oh my…I knew you were from the States but uh…that’s…an accent ya got there.” “Likewise, sir.”

*gigglin uncontrollably* also shoutout&thank you @/jasonsmirrorball whose commentary on another fic used the indents when quoting from the story which was a fantastic idea!

You notice the subtle change when he bites the inside of his lower lip as his gaze briefly drifts to your lips and back to your eyes.

mmm the triangle eyes, might as well have a neon sign over your head blaring  AM EYEFUCKIN YOU RN

(what are triangle eyes? see gif reference below)

You fight the urge to roll your eyes but instead maintain a locked a gaze with Price, “It was something to do.  My career was headed for a desk and I’m not done yet.  I’ve got more in me, I can do more.  I want more.” “Fuck.  Finally, a real answer.  And no ‘sir.’  Feels good, doesn’t it?”

fucking love branchy’s OCs/protaggos; slay, my alpha queens, slay (also pls step on me)

 Don’t need to be caught gazing at chain of command’s ass.  Eyes forward, always forward.  Eyes fo…

a simple win-win solution my queen: don’t get caught😂

ehhehehe wedding tackle indeed i’ll wed soap’s tackle anyday hehehehe cough moving on

also i am fuckin half in love with OC and her nicknames…typhoid mary, saint of killers (PREACHER REFERENCE!!), iron maiden, sorceress..there’s something special & intimate when you’re christened with a new name by friends/a group of people some odd ones I've had in the past are: bloody mary, albondiga, bringer of tears (thankfully not because of killcounts like dallas here) 😅🤭

“Do they all have different names for you?” He smiles again, his eyes matching the mirth his mouth betrays.  You try not to smile in response.  The last thing you need is to be thought weak, or stupid.  Or like you’re flirting with a superior.  None of those are a good look. “They do.  Did.  I’ve known a lot of people who didn’t want to say my name.”

branchy has a uncommonly talented trait of fleshing out so much history and worldbuilding through straight-up pure/raw dialogue where i can see hear & smell & sense the physical surroundings, the way the characters are holding their bodies, the tensions, emotions - all between several quotemarks! one of the reasons branchy is one of my favorite writers on this hellsite (affectionate)

our mouth hardened into a thin line as you nodded.  “No worries, Johnny.  I survived his death.  I can survive his unexpected resurrection.”

i happen to be reading hunger games rn and dallas reminds me a bit of katniss - (they are direct, bold, present a flinty face to the world due to the harsh settings they’ve survived - yet despite all that, it hasn’t buried their humanity or hardened their heart that deeply just yet, and it breaks through not too far from the surface here and there)

anyway soft soap supremacy and back to thirsting, what was i saying…

..JUST KIDDING LET ME DO AN EXCRUCIATINGLY DETAILED BREAKDOWN of how much i love this scene of ghost seeing dallas again finally

literally just a few back-and-forth sentences’ worth of lore from the previous chapter and already fiending for the tension and drama of their backstory!!! the little things like dallas being able to pick up the difference in his voice, the mention of them entrusting their real names to each other, noting he touched up his eyepaint, the mention of LIMINAL SPACE!!!! (as an anthro grad I was and still am fucking obsessed with victor turner’s liminality and communitas and anyway am always soooo chuffed to see the phrase out in the wild) and anyway not really sure who to be more jealous of here, that dallas got to fuck ghost or ghost got to fuck dallas (yes yes why not both)

“I’m…sorry.  I’m so sorry.”  He says the words plainly, less gravel than usual, but with a pain you don’t recognize.  “I’m so fucking sorry, love.”  The last syllable breaks in the back of his throat.

fucking shredding my pillows in how delicious the angst is

My name.  My name was in his mouth when he died.

None of them knew Simon would whisper your name in the darkness, your name a prayer on his lips.  As though saying it would conjure the most vulnerable and savage parts of your soul so he could enjoy you more fully, so he could offer his own vulnerability and savagery in return.  To be consumed in the same fire.

🥺🥺🥺this is such fucking shakespearean levels of trauma and poetry, i doff my cap to thee branchy my literary queen

i am fucking bouncing off the walls here with the..foreshadowing? the layers of meaning baked into such small almost throwaway lines and gestures - does price even know what he’s offering (and taking) from dallas by letting her know she can call him john after hours/OUT OF UNIFORM? i know this is endgame price x dallas but i find all this past romance angst fucking DELICIIOOUUSSS

Soap backs up another step as he works his way around the rec room, his mouth open, head tilted back.  You smile as only he can make you smile.

“Your hugs fix a lot of things.” You smile as your eyes meet his.

The timbre of his laugh is a delight, a warrior’s voice tinted with naivete and levity.  But he was always easy to cheer up. 

honestly when im not simping for soap i think he’d make such a great and easygoing friend, god i love the way cod writers have headcanoned him as such for the most part

Your face is unreadable as you let the smoke escape into the space above you.  The gilded ceiling leering at you through the haze.  Your dress uniform feeling stiffer and more unnatural by the moment.  A shroud more than armor.

i have definitely felt the itchiness of having to wear a fit, or a face (as have we all at some point) that didn’t quite sit right - but i am mostly glad for the experience of learning to see them as tools and costumes versus prisons and limitations. anyway im blabberin at like 243am which is why im getting vaguely metaphorical and philosophical lol

In the three months since your transfer you’ve gotten to know Price’s moods, what annoys him, what makes him smile.  You can appreciate that he says more with his silence than most people can say with words.  You justify your attention to detail by telling yourself you notice little things in everyone around you, not just John.  The old hypervigilance.  Or your excuse.

i love seeing price through the (heart)eyes of dallas 😍 a secret pleasure of mine is discussing what crushes feel like for myself and others and comparing and listening to all the different ways and reasons people fall in love - and also love the ways prices navigates his own bids for attention from dallas behind the veneer of professionalism 

The years haven’t erased the memory of his footfalls, his measured gait. 

oooh i was just discussing this with friends, how when you’ve known someone for so long you can tell who they are by a specific jangling sound of keys in a lock turning or just the gait of their footsteps from afar

also this wasn’t in the story, just the A/N but “ghost’s abbattoir of a psyche” is a fucking AWARDWINNING turn of phrase branchy 👏👏👏i fucking slow clapped irl like a dumbass when i read it thats how much i liked it lmao

Damn he sounds sexy through the comm.  Don’t know what it is about the comm…

brutal honesty here but i could probably come just from any of the COD men speaking to me over comms, im just stating the facts

“I’ll make it up to you.  When we return, we can do two lessons back-to-back, or we can do an extra-long lesson. Your choice.  Over.”  The line crackles.

“What about every night?  I’ve got catching up to do, love.  I’m not getting any younger.”

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IF PRICE SAID THIS TO ME AFTER BREAKING PROTOCOL I WOULD PROBABLY COME IMMEDIATELY

i am fucking mooning over young ghost thirsting for dallas immediately “She looks strong, but in the way that he wants in an argument, or in bed.  Or against the wall.” yes yes ghostie this is my bread butter and jam and also to use the a/b/o lingo alpha men who want alpha women are just 😘👌🫶

At the time, Ghost was in love.  She had no idea.  He had wanted her to make the first move, the way she had approached him when he first arrived at the mess tent in the desert, unafraid.  He had wanted her to want him.   For Sorceress to claim him for herself.

🥹🥹🥹 not me crying a little and dying inside reading this and seeing ex-archangel dallas through his eyes

literally yelled out FUCK at the top of my lungs when the team cockblocked price and dallas at the bar fucking GO AWAY AND LET EM FUCK GAWD

also fucking love when writers mention music in their fics, i listened to every song mentioned here when they came up…also branchy ur texan is showing with how many country songs are mentioned in your writings LMAO

and FUCK I SIMULTANEOUSLY LOVE AND HATE YOU BRANCHY FOR ALL THE HEARTBREAK AND ANGST IN THIS FIC FROM DALLAS, FIRST WITH GHOST AND NOW SOAP? I FUCKIN KNEW HE WAS CARRYING A TORCH FROM HER FROM ALL HIS LITTLE COMMENTS AND GESTURES BUT MY GOD WHEN HE SAYS HE HAD TO BE SURE AND THEN SENDS HER OFF AFTER PRICE 😭😭😭😭

“Shh… shh… listen to my voice, love.  I’m here.  Nothing’s wrong.  We’re in the hotel.  You’re safe, I’m safe.  The team is safe.  You’re not in that place again.  Those places are gone.  You’re here.  With me.  And you’re my darling, love.  You are mine.  Shh… Come back to me.  Come back to me, my darling…”

the disassociating panic/anxiety attack scene was…wow. as someone who's experienced them myself i found it viscerally a little too realistic (once again hats off to you branchy, incredible writing) but i appreciate how raw and real it is portrayed here…and ofc price’s little comfortspeech would probably cure all heartbreak if it was real

 His wristwatch digs into the side of your right leg.  You secretly hope he leaves the watch on as he fucks you tonight.  And his dog tags.  You want to take them in your teeth as you ride him later.

*me, furiously taking notes for bedtime imaginary/IRL scenarios before realizing i would probably spit them out of my mouth immediately at the metallic taste in a very unsexy way right into wearer’s eyes most likely*

“Well, I don’t wear underwear…I bet the team gets the wrong idea about me all the time.”

😂😂😂

also my heart stopped at dallas finding the ring in the jacket pocket? im unsure of the sense of time in this fic but the ‘i love you’s made their appearances in the 1st inning here!!!

i also love vargas nickname of mija 🥹he would be the best dad (sir i can help you with that cough)

You snap out of your daze and refocus your eyes on Price.  His eyes are the bluest you’ve ever seen them.  You swear they were a slate gray when you first met.  Cold and distant, from a long winter.  Your heart tells you it’s spring.

i fucking love this line, so beautiful and tender mwah mwah chef’s kisses galore for this branchy

“This path, all of this, would be my tomb.  I need life, not death,” you finish, not sure what else can be said.

🫶

You were too much alike. 

this!!!! i clocked this back when soap said the “neither of you smile, you both can have unsmiley babies” - be wary of dating/getting romantically entangled with someone who is a mirror, speaking from personal experience…just because you can reflect and find familiarity in each other doesn’t mean you won’t get burned

anyway i am busy crying at the anguish of soap and dallas’ last convo and the “i shouldn’t have turned you away, i was mistaken” and the “no, you did the right thing” correction

Only John would be willing to challenge Death to a chess match just to buy time.  You give up.

unf!!! fucking love this and the parallel set up with the seventh seal movie reference and the proposal!!! THE FUCKING PROPOSAL and then everyone pitching in to figure out how to make this work for dallas is just 😘👌👌👌

your spare time the both of you had figured out that your height disparity, though not extreme, was enough to cause some mechanical challenges.

this is the only math i will enjoy working out, that and math rocks (dnd joke)

You don’t look up, but you can imagine he’s smiling.  That little smile John saves for you, the one the rest of the world will never know.

🥰🥰🥰

“No.  Not into the rank thing, love.  Honestly, I’ve never found it a turn-on…the power difference…” “I’ve found my equal.  My match in all things,” the corners of his mouth turn up a little at the admission, his voice quieting, “And I can’t fucking imagine a life without you.”

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

so i usually like to liveblog my notes as i read through but my FUUUUUCK THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS WAS LIKE THE LAST ARC OF AN ACTION MOVIE THE PACE WAS ABSOLUTELY DIZZYING IN THE BEST WAY AND I TORE THRU EM LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL

fucking obsessed with the archangel program lore (also slightly sobering as it reminds me of black widow + red room and bucky barnes + winter soldier + IRL MK Ultra + CIA vibes) - I know there are several other series here so emotionally preparing myself to read some of them after this

You don’t know what someone’s made of until you really fight. 

this is an IRL adage i live by and yes I do think a sense of character is truly revealed in conflict that can’t really be seen in other circumstances

also the SELF CONTROL of these two to put a pin on makeup fucking to hash out their woes

You approach Price, your arms held out.  He allows you to pull him into the warmth of your arms, but not before he kisses you. 

this small line about dallas with her arms out gave me goosebumps knowing the journey she has taken re: vulnerability throughout this fic 🥹🥹

 I know I should be, but if Soap and Ghost can survive you, then I think I’ve got a pretty fair chance.

but did they rly tho lol I feel dallas will always be the one that got away for 'em

In truth, you’ve felt like you belonged to one another long before today…. In the dark you practice saying your new names and quizzing each other on little details, like the actual date on your marriage certificate.

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 i love this sm

i listened to all the song refs as they came up in real time and listening to fade into you by mazzy star made me feel like IDK how I felt after finishing die hard or mad max fury road like I went on a fucking JOURNEY...a SAGA...an EPIC....and I need a drink or some taco or bbq, or preferably all of them lol

BRANCHY CAN I POSSIBLY INTEREST YOU IN A SIDE CAREER/HOBBY OF SCREENWRITING COS GODDAMN WOULD I WATCH AN IRL MOVIE TRILOGY OF THIS

[heyjude19-writing]

I have not been an active participant in the Harry Potter fandom in a very long time and it's just recently that a coworker of mine suggested that I give Dramione fics a try.

Her suggesting was both a blessing and a curse—ever since I started looking into Dramione, I've found more than a handful of fics that I absolutely loved, Remain Nameless being one of them. Of course, I've done nothing but devour fanfics in my free time ever since, placing other hobbies and social outings on hold. I can't say I regret it much, though my sleeping schedule took quite a hit as well :')

I'd like to start by telling you how much I enjoyed the plot for Remain Nameless. I never was a fan of slow burns before, but it might seem like aging has mellowed me out quite a bit. It's either that, or the fact that I've been feeling like time just flew by lately (to be completely honest ever since the pandemic it feels like every time I blinked, another year passed by), and I desperately want things to slow down a bit, just so I can enjoy them properly—both in my life and in my reading.

There are plenty of stories about Draco and Hermione and them falling in love, but this one is definitely a favourite. I loved how the accent was placed on them and their evolution as people and their journey as lovers.

It was heartwarming to see Draco's transformation throughout the story and each interaction between these two characters, especially the initial ones at the coffee shop, brought me such joy.

The pacing of their friendship and then romantic relationship felt so natural, and I couldn't help but sit at the edge of my seat, waiting with baited breath to see if things are going to turn out well for our main couple (even though I knew it would be a happy ending, according to the tags :') )

Also, the characters that made an appearance fleshed out the story wonderfully. I'd like to say that the moments including Ginny, Theo and Sasha were some of my favourites, but then again, can I really have favourites when I loved each chapter so much?

The familial relationships were also points of great interest for me. I enjoyed seeing how Hermione interacted with her parents after everything that happened and her relationship with the Weasley members really warmed up my heart. The acceptance of Draco into Hermione's friend and family circles was also quite emotional for me, since he went through such complex experiences with his own parents and friends.

The writing was also marvelous and it really captured me, though I feel like I couldn't fully appreciate it since my eyes were flying over the words to know what happens next. I would love to pick up this fanfiction again for another read, just so I can fully appreciate the craftsmanship that was put into it.

Honestly, being reintroduced into this fandom reminded me why I love fandom and fanfiction so much. Sure, there might be people who sully the experience with their greed and pettiness (I've read a bit about those people what bind your fics and sell them on etsy and I recall reading an AN of somebody reposting your work on Wattpad and I'm so sorry that these things happened/are happening to you and many other fantastic writers) but it can also bring people together and be such a great source of comfort.

I apologize for the long message, I feel like I rambled quite a bit. I know there's much more that I would have loved to say, but words seem to evade me today. But I would like to thank you again for putting in so much of your time, effort, love, and passion into writing this wonderful piece of fanfiction and for sharing it with us.

This story made me giggle, it made me cry, and it made me feel so many emotions, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for it.

hello hello!

wow, thank you so much to your co-worker, this was lovely to receive. sorry about the sleepless nights 😅 but i am happy you enjoyed your time with my story and other fics.

and yes, there's some bad actors out here making fandom a not-so-fun place at the moment, but as you rightly noted "it can also bring people together and be such a great source of comfort." It's certainly why i stick around and thank you for this beautiful message that reminded me why i've loved my time here. your kind comments about my writing brought me so much joy, thank you 🥰

[agentstarkid]

Holi, babes! I know, I know... it's been almost two months 🫣

I'm sorry for the delay and not posting chapter 5 yet. Ya gurl got herself a job now, and I come home dead on my feet. The only "free day" I have is Sunday (to whoever invented working on Saturdays, I really hope you're in hell right now). I work the afternoon/night hours which doesn't leave me with much time during the day and these edits take a looooot of time to make.

Another thing is that I kind of lost the motivation to continue with this story for a while, the comment-&-reblog/likes ratio is so discouraging, and I don't wanna whine and beg all the time for a reblog or a comment. But it helps a lot to reblog the chapters and maybe let me know if you guys are liking this story or if it is just straight shit. Those things make me excited to finish the next chapters faster and post them as soon as I can.

To the lovely people who comment and/or reblogs my chapter: THANK YOU, I'M SENDING YOU ALL FOREHEAD KISSES! 🥰

To the people who only like my chapters: I'm also grateful that you guys take your time to read it but please, reblog it too 🙏🏽

I have soooo much love for my Girlie and her story with Danielito, and I really have so much planned for them. I have a whole ass 4k chapter that I wrote 3 months ago (with Tally's massive help as my personal Englisher 💖) that I'm dying to post once we reach the 2022 chapters— I reckon that it's gonna be in 2 or 3 more chapters.

Anyways, please know I haven't given up on this yet. And please have patience with me, adult life sucks. I will try my best to finish Chapter 5 (Still nameless btw 😅) so I can post it in the first 2 weeks of February, fingers crossed 🤞🏽. OH AND WE GET TO EXPERIENCE MONZA '21 THROUGH GIRLIE'S EYES IN THIS CHAPTER BTW!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for reading all this rambling btw, I love you guys! See you soon with more DanY/N adventures! 💖 — May 🖤

I'm just sharing this on my Tumblr because, while it's Alastor and Hazbin Hotel related, it's not related enough to spam all over the HH fan groups I follow on Facebook. And, I'm not part of any Hazbin Hotel discords at the moment, which also sucks. So for those reading this, you're welcome to spam it at those places if you think it's on topic enough. Just remember to credit me

As for everyone on Tumblr, let's go all over the place on this topic!

So, I found out much of Vivziepop's characters were made years ago, especially Alastor, she made him way back in middle school. And it made me think way back to college when I made a few of my characters.

I have a lot of them, but three stand out as the ones most used. One is named Bluesy, is an adult human female, admittedly, myself in a role playing world 😅 Another is named Tao, and while technically human, she was created in a lab to devolve humans to their nearest common ancestor, so she has special abilities up to and including a long grasping tail.

And then there's this character I want to talk about. I had to draw her to introduce her to you people, please excuse the crappy colored pencils.

Her name is Lirious, and the more I think of her, the more I realize that I may have made my own version of Alastor

Now granted there are differences, thank God, I don't want to accidentally make a carbon copy. She's a demigoddess, she's thousands of years old, she dresses like that, and she is more than happy to openly flirt into any hot male's pants. But, she is a demigoddess of chaos, she does have a prominent red and black color scheme in her outfit, she has a cane, and, no joke, did not plan this... she also loves making deals.

Now, my DeviantArt page may be gone by now, thank God. But, I made her around sophomore year in college, so that's be about... 2003, 2004. Predating Alastor by five years!

Now, let me clarify, I'm not rooting my own horn or saying I beat Vivzie to the punch. It's fun to have two chaotic beings causing chaos. My point is... how common is it for people to make their official characters, and one is an unofficial Alastor? I mean, we joke about it when we watch other media and think "oh hey, it's Alastor." But no, without even being aware, I made a character, that I find twenty years later, has some uncanny similarities. And, when I brought this up to some friends, they also said that, before they knew of Alastor's existence, they accidentally made their own unofficial Alastors too!

Maybe this is a trope to have some chaotic overpowered being just there to cause chaos with a side of move the plot, I dunno!

So, the point of the post:

One, yes, Lirious and my characters can be available for rps, but it's been a very long time, and I'd rather RP with someone who's above eighteen, because Lirious is more of a mature rated character with how horny she is 😅 The rest of the characters I can make PG, but I'd still recommend more grown up players

Two, and more importantly, have you ever made any characters and realized zed that you accidentally made an unofficial clone of another character? Especially if you didn't plan it that way, and especially if the character didn't even exist yet

Oh, and here's some Alastor for you sticking it out through my entire rambling 😅

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

For the character list post; Pidge?

I’ve read your thoughts on the other members of team Voltron but I don’t think I’ve seen anything of Pidge. Could be wrong and I just don’t remember 😅

Pidge!! Going to be real i have a lot of mixed feelings about her. Like when i started watching vld she was my favourite but over time she started to bore me, and now i barely think about her

favorite thing about them-

Early seasons Pidge was such an interesting character! Like she was desperate girl who wanted to save her family, she was secretive lone-wolf who barely got along with anyone, she had severe foot-in-mouth disease, she was insecure and rambly and over thought a lot, she still cared. She had so much potential to be so much, I miss her ☹️

least favorite thing about them

Has same problems Keith has, as in she is a writers pet so can never be wrong and everyone must hail her as The Best, kinda just stops developing after finding her brother and ends up being a plot device and her constantly putting Lance down was getting annoying

favorite line

I am so sorry i cant remember any lines right now, but i did love the love the fountain scene, y'know the one <33

BrOTP

S1 Shiro and Pidge beloved <333, garrison trio, also Allura and Pidge had so much potential as well

OTP

I am mostly ehh towards her nowadays so i dont have one

nOTP

Same reason as above i dont really have one

Random headcanon

Loves fairy lights, specifically those yellow ones. Gets cold very easily

unpopular opinion

They should have killed Sam Holt, i dont hate him or anything but they should have killed him. Like vld eps moaned so much about how they wanted to write a "Tragedy" about "war" and yet missed out on a golden opportunity. Unreal

I personally dont think Keith and Pidge would have get along. And the reason is that they are too similar. Like i said Pidge has canon foot-in-mouth disease, and Keith can be extremely sensitive especially about certain topics. Keith was also hypocritical in how he yelled at Pidge for wanting to leave the team to save her family, only to ditch team later on repeatedly to the point they almost got killed. Plus neither of them are emotionally mature enough to understand they are similar and the other person is going through the same things they are. Sometimes same people repel each other

song i associate with them

Whatever it takes by Imagine Dragons is all i can think of right now

favorite picture of them

There's another pic of her being starry eyed i really liked but i cant find it anymore 🥺😢

Thank you for the ask!!!!!!!!!

[galvanizedfriend]

Hi yokan!!! Hope you are doing well😄.Last few days I have been re-reading TW 1,2&3. And I found something really amazing. That you have given me something which I have always wanted. A beautiful Platonic relationship. I always felt like there was no such in The Orginals. IDKY🥱But in this amazing fic I got some really amazing Platonic relationship between characters. I'm a sucker for those😅 The bond between Caroline and Elijah, Caroline and Jackson was really good. In TVD we had two relationship like that Stefan and Lexi ( my fav🥰)& Damon and Bonnie. But TO had none 😔. And in my opinion Stefan and Caroline & Klaus and Camille could have been that but Julie had to ruin it 🤐 . (Totally just my opinion no hate to anyone)

So... This is just to say thank you for writing such great relationships and please keep continuing them. 🥰🥰🥰

Sorry for my ramblings🥺. But you are a really fabulous writer and I think I want to acknowledge and appreciate that once in a while ☺️. Be amazing and have great year ✨✨✨

Always your fan♥️

Hi, friend 🥺 This is so sweet I can't even

Had to whip out my emotional Elijah gif 🥺❤️

I am also a sucker for platonic relationships and absolutely hate the idea that men and women can't be friends without ~~something more happening (especially in fiction). Julie Plec was the QUEEN of ruining perfectly nice platonic relationships by inserting subpar, annoying and often diminishing romance into things. Caroline and Stefan were the BEST as BFFs, romance ruined them completely. Damon and Bonnie were nice! I also liked Caroline and Enzo (although have to admit I did ship them romantically for a bit), but Julie didn't even let them become friends properly.

In TO, the only platonic relationships are Marcel and Davina (it's more like father and daughter, but sometimes friends too, I don't know) and Klaus and Hayley (although their shippers would kill me for saying that hahaha I never thought there was anything romantic between them, they were just co-parents and friends after a while). There was also Vincent and Freya, but they barely had any screen time tbh.

Writing the platonic side-relationships in The Wolf is one of my favorite parts, so it always warms my heart so much to read opinions like this 🥺 It's hard to insert that type of thing into a KC story, I never know how interested anyone is in reading about the other characters 🤣 But I have fun writing it. Elijah and Caroline in particular is something I was very proud of, because they had almost as much development and ups and down as Klaus and Caroline. He starts off by being romantically confused, but once that clears up they're just the cutest of friends, and it's very personally rewarding to see that they actually *feel* like friends, instead of merely forcing them into a relationship because. They had to overcome issues, differences, were there for each other through various things, to the point where I don't think they need Klaus to have a relationship. What they have is totally independent from Klaus, and I'm really proud of how that worked out (there is more to come for them!).

But another platonic relationship I really enjoy writing is Klaus and Cami! I didn't realize the two of them could've been nice as friends until I wrote them tbh. From the show, I just always had the feeling they had zero chemistry, nothing in common, Cami was the exact type of person Klaus abhors in general and it didn't make sense to me that they'd ever be drawn to each other in any way (especially after the way he treats her at the beginning). But with some tweks here and there, it could've worked. Obviously in TW they have Caroline in common, so she bridges the gap there. But I think their relationship evolved nicely. I didn't write Cami that much into the story until I absolutely had to because who cares, but I did write her in a way that I think would've made me like her better - as someone who didn't just let Klaus' BS slide, who actually demanded some reckoning on his part, made him actually apologize for what he did to her, to the point where she could start to trust him. And then on Klaus' side, someone who wouldn't just pout and cry whenever she said 'bad Klaus!' and then let her run around the city wrecking havoc just because. The balance works for me.

One of my favorite scenes in TW3 is between Klaus and Cami (it's up ahead, I think maybe chapter 18)! As one of my favorite chapters in TW2 was chapter 23, which is mostly Caroline and Elijah, Klaus is totally absent for the whole chapter.

Anywaaaaaay, I'm rambling 🤣 Sorry for the TED talk you didn't ask for, but your comment got me thinking many thoughts about that. Thank you so much for your message, it's truly the nicest thing! ❤️

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Hello! I just finished reading “the house the sea built” and honestly I’m in tears. (Please forgive my rambling😅) But how you captured Namjoon’s interior struggles, the weighing pressure and his emotions on how he must have been feeling. Was so beautifully written, that even though this was a fictional story, the elements of how he’s been feeling this void/loneliness really puts its into perspective on how personal and detailed “indigo” really is. I mean I can only understand on a surface level on how much time and energy he spent into this album, but I could never truly comprehend the process and the stress that he must have felt while creating this album. And you were able to write this, is undeniably incredible. Ummm… some parts might not make sense but I just wanted to say that this sorry was moving. 🥰 (and it reminded me of the anime: your name)

LET ME JUST STOP AND---

I never want to break out the Namjoon crying pic bc whenever I see tears in that man's eyes, I can't handle it, but this!! This made me cry because I love you and your rambling!!

Indigo was... it was an experience that I can't even begin to describe. I will never have the words for how I felt listening to it for the first time, but it gave me this feeling in my chest? I can't pin it, but the best I can describe it is like being understood finally. Understood by someone who, despite living such a different life, experiences those same human emotions and is in need of the same comfort that I also crave. No amount of writing I can ever churn out will come close to the level of genius and artistry that Namjoon possesses, but the fact that you thought you could see elements of Indigo and Namjoon's personality reflected in this means so damn much to me.

He's truly such a special person to us all, and although I write with the members as muses, I feel like I've never come close to capturing who they are as people until this. Even though we don't know Namjoon personally, we can know him through art and his music, and this was just another avenue for me to get out my feelings about him and the album and it just... I never expected it to resonate with anyone like this??

Please don't apologize for rambling because I did the same exact thing lol, but yeah, it is kind of like Your Name!! I guess this really shows how much we yearn to know other people and have them know us, just like Namjoon talks about on Closer 💜💜💜

THANK YOU 3000 TIMES FOR THIS!!

You're a sick piece of shit pedophile

oh hey! my first piece of actual anon hate!! that's neat :3

i'm going to answer this with a level of respect it probably doesn't deserve, since i doubt you'll take anything i write seriously (if you read it at all). bunch of text below if you'd like to read my ramblings

the first thing to remember about kink spaces, is that everything we do is between consenting adults. if you're practicing kink safely, then everyone involved would've been fully informed on what is happening, and agreed to take part. i don't make very many original posts, so i can only assume you either followed me or visited my blog. if you were on my blog, then you would've clearly seen that i reblog potentially triggering subjects and kinks. if i distressed you with any of the posts i've reblogged, i'm sincerely sorry. i want my blog to be a place people can come to and enjoy if they so wish. but i also believe if you go reaching into a spider nest (looking through a blog that posts things that might trigger you) then there's not much i can do to help. all of this is to say, we are here to play pretend and have fun. if you don't like what we're talking about, please leave!

the next thing is people's perception of the term pedophile, and how it's weaponized in our society. i won't deny that there are people who predate on minors because they're attracted to them, but if you look at the people who have abused and sexually abused minors, the most common thing they share is that they have a position of power over the child(ren) they abuse. this could be anyone from a parent, to a religious figure, or just a coach. another enlightening fact on this is that only around 20% of men who have assaulted underage boys are gay (i found this stat here, Sexuality of Offenders. unfortunately they looped bisexual men in with straight men for some reason, but i seriously doubt it would significantly change that number). then why do we so heavily associate pedophilia with CSA (child sexual abuse)? this is a question that i'm not well read enough to answer, but there are plenty of others who are dedicated to helping keep children safe that can expand on this. i'd recommend looking into it, as it can be a very enlightening experience.

if you read this far then thanks for bearing with me, and i hope this makes sense 😅 there's probably more i could go on about, but i feel that those two things are some of the most important things to cover.

Darling, come. Sit. *hands you a cup of your most favorite beverage* Fandoms are a bizarre place sometimes. Some are very welcoming, some make you feel like you have to "earn" a spot (most times this is not actually the case... but if it is you don't want to be included anyway). I'm not sure what fandom specifically you're questioning your worth in. But you are not useless. You are not annoying. In fact I find your floral and art posts to be exceptionally fascinating.

All that being said... to be perfectly honest I feel like most of us have had that same feeling at one point or another. I won't speak for everyone but I kinda felt like a little raccoon flitting around, watching all of these amazing creators, wondering if I would ever be on the same level. (side note: every creator started somewhere. I know that's cliché AF. But even the most talented have doubts and insecurities about their work.) Eventually I found my people and was adopted like a stray cat. What I've learned is some, like David Rose, have been burned and are incredibly hesitant about who is allowed in.

I'm rambling, but I wanted to let you know it's not you. I would encourage you to keep interacting, keep posting, keep doing your thing. Most importantly do it your way. Everyone brings their own flavor and take to the Fandom Soup. Don't be afraid to sprinkle yours in. Hopefully there was something useful in there somewhere. *hugs and a forehead kiss for you*

P.S. go for the ridiculous tags. they may not help people find your stuff but they can be an unexpected bonding source.

P.P.S leaving comments can be really damn hard at times. like someone just wrote this incredible thing? for no monetary gain whatsoever? for anyone to just... enjoy? and it's amazing and earth shattering and should be a published thing and i'm supposed to just leave a comment worthy of their eyes seeing it like I haven't been shaken to the core and wrung out? (alternately just reading fic is the most energy people can conjure at times, forget leaving comments) So don't be too hard on yourself there. Kudos/Comments/Likes/Reblogs are not the token you put in to be deemed a worthy fandom participant

Thank you anon! 💛💛💛

You said so many things that needed to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to send me this lovely ask!

It makes me especially happy you appreciate my flower and art tags! I love scrolling through my art tag. It gives a very special kind of calm to go through the pics of the amazing art pieces I've reblogged.

And you're so right about commenting on fics! It's exactly that! How will I express the appreciation and admiration sufficiently.

Also, I should say, I don't mean to say that I haven't felt welcomed into the SC fandom. I've connected with wonderful people and everyone's been kind and sweet. Sometimes I just feel not worthy. But like you said, probably everyone gets those feelings sometimes. Not everyone is just ridiculous enough to make a post about it.😅

Aemond Targaryen X F.Reader - Greedy lust (Part 1)

(Pictures are not mine! Found on Pinterest/Google - Collage made by myself)

Many thanks to @fangirl-ramblings 🖤 she has been beta reading for me 🌹

Summary: You take care of him when he is sick. Aegon enjoys all the attention you give him, for he is quite taken with your beauty. But you have someone else in mind, even though you know that there will be no future with him...

Warning: Strong language, angst, attempted rape, violence

Okay guys, this is my first story for this fandom. I hope so, so much that I have described the two characters of the brothers well. It was not easy for me, but I hope that I can make you happy with this story. Also sorry if it’s OOC 😅The question is if I will write a second part? We will see 👀😊

Read part 2 here 👈

Greedy lust

"Please, stay down, young master."

Aegon looked at the beautiful woman above him as she wiped the sweat from his forehead. But as Y/N had feared, her patient was not doing what she had kindly asked him to do. He challenged the young woman, for he wanted to find out how far he could go before she would lose patience. The funny thing was that he knew very well that she would not dare to order a Targaryen to do anything. So he could do whatever he wanted. He grinned towards her, and when Y/N perceived this from her point of view, she sighed softly. She already knew this kind of game, and yet she never lost patience with him. It was not the first time she had to take care of the young man. For days now Aegon had been bed bound because he was afflicted with fever and pain. Being near him felt strange, because she felt his fiery eyes on her. However, she did not mention with a word that she found it uncomfortable. But, what could he possibly do? He was not able to do anything stupid at all. She also tried to ignore the fact that he touched her by any opportunity.

"I can't stay calm looking at you."

"Sir, I beg you."

"Oh, you would beg me, if you would only let me."

Y/N knew exactly what Aegon meant by that and this time, she had to bite her tongue not to say anything back. The young woman turned away from him to dip the cloth into the bowl of cool water.

"If I wasn't so sick, I'd take you right now. Wouldn't you like that?"

She remained silent, wringing out the wet cloth before turning back to him and placing the cloth on his forehead. He waited for her to answer, but when he realized that Y/N had no intention of answering him, his grin faded. His gaze darkened, his mood suddenly turning bad. Who the hell did she think she was? She had to answer him! At least that was his point of view. Y/N quickly realized that he didn't like her manner, so she tried to placate him.

"You flatter me, young master. But right now you need rest and recuperation. No excitement."

There it was again. That smug grin of his, which almost made Y/N roll her eyes.

"You're just delaying what's about to arrive, Y/N."

She heard him laugh softly as he stroked his fingers along her arm. Y/N shuddered and her heart hammered wildly against her chest. Oh, hopefully he would know how to behave next time he visited, otherwise his mother would have to find another healer!

"But maybe you're right. However, I assure you that even in this condition I would be able to satisfy you. Better than those farmers out there!"

Oh, Y/N had no interest in Aegon at all. His arrogant and selfish manner disgusted her.

"Well, young master. I will check on you tomorrow!"

She just wanted to escape from his bedchamber and forced a smile on her face, as she rose from her seat.

"Can’t wait for it, Y/N."

He wink at her, and the moment Y/N finally left the room, she sighed in relief as she stroked through her long hair.

What a terrible man, she thought.

She was a healer and unfortunately it happened often, that men considering her as an object. Just like Aegon did. But this was her life. She wanted to help people because that was what she had been taught from an early age. Her father had taught her a lot about healing herbs, but she also knew about the plants that could take lifes. Y/N didn't reveal much of her knowledge, since she didn't want to be considered a witch and burned at the stake. Thinking about her job, she walked down the long corridor before noticing long, white hair. It was Aemond who came towards her and immediately caught her eye. A smile played around her lips and he did the same, while his gaze wandered over the young woman's body. Y/N didn't miss this gesture and she shuddered. But this time, it was a pleasant, an almost exciting feeling.

She liked it. The distinctive features, his beautiful, curved lips and the scar... This scar. What history was it hiding? She did not know him and yet she felt all the more attracted. They hadn't exchanged a single word before, but their gazes were all the more intense.

As Aemond walked close past her, he looked intensely into her eyes and their arms touched. The fact that his brother Aegon kept sending for this healer did not surprise him and yet it bothered him enormously that she took care of him. Aemond knew him. He knew his brother wouldn't be able to keep his hands off her, and he feared that Y/N would also be bothered by his lustful looks. However, he did not know that Aegon touching her by every opportunity.

"Oh, I beg your pardon, sir!"

She had touched him as he passed, but it was Aemond who had bumped into her. He had only wanted to touch her once, to inhale her scent, and by God, she smelled so good. And to hear her tender voice now was the crowning glory of the whole thing. Instantly, the young man shivered and the smile on his lips did not pass.

Aemond didn't say anything, but averted his eyes from her and simply walked past her. Her heart beat to her throat as she looked after the handsome man and she blushed. He was mysterious, quiet, and she knew what they were saying. Still waters run deep. But Y/N also knew there was no hope of holding this man's interest in the long run. She did not belong to a noble family. She had grown up in simple circumstances. Even if she was a healer and she had a good status among the inhabitants, she would never be seen at this man's side. At most for passionate nights. After that, another woman would take her place anyway. So why should she torture herself? The sooner she would banish Aemond from her mind, the better. She should not let any feelings get to her in the first place. The young woman would try it, but the coming days did not make it easy for her...

It happened one late afternoon, after she had taken care of her patient Aegon, she was on her way home. She left the building and entered the courtyard when she saw Aemond sitting on a bench. His bloody wound on his left rib, immediately caught her eye, just as she noticed that his torso was unclothed. At first she just looked at him from afar, but then she slowly approached him and when Aemond noticed her, his eyes looked up at the delicate creature.

"May I?"

Her voice sounded pleasant to his ear and the young man nodded towards her with a smile.

She knelt down beside him and looked up at him before daring to touch his wound. She just wanted to make sure Aemond wanted her treatment.

"Go ahead, Y/N."

He knew her name? How? Had he picked that one up somewhere? Y/N didn't think about it for long, as she instantly attended to the young man's cut. She cleaned his wound, wiped away the blood around it, and immediately realized that the cut was not deep. Aemond closed his eyes for a moment as he breathed in her scent, just barely suppressing a moan of pleasure. Having her so close to him made his blood boil. Unlike his idiot brother, he knew how to behave and he wouldn't force himself on Y/N. Well, at least not until his greed would become too great as well. Aemond was not a patient man and when he wanted something, he usually got it. But at the sight of this delicate creature, he hold back the hungry wolf inside him.

But to feel her delicate fingers on his skin made him tremble, for it excited him deeply. The thought of lying in her soft lap pleased him.

"Your wound will heal in a few days. You should keep it clean and an ointment of herbs should help."

She looked up at him, wondering what he was thinking right now.

"I'll... bring you some tomorrow, if you like, young master."

She blushed, suddenly becoming quite unsure, as she realized how close she was to him right now and what this might look like. Kneeling in front of Aemond Targaryen.

"You may do so."

Y/N nodded with a soft smile and rose before walking past him. But the moment she was about to leave, Aemond gently grabbed her delicate wrist, making her stop in her tracks.

"You have my thanks!"

He reluctantly let her go, but he would have plenty of opportunities to seduce this young woman...

♦♦♦♦

"Well, I see you’re doing much better, sir!"

Why had Aegon sent for her if he was in good health? She doubted that he had done it to thank her. He didn't think she had fallen for his advances, did he?

"Indeed."

He smiled seductively at her and Y/N turned her eyes from the young man, trying to hide the fact that she was nervous in his presence.

"So far, you've always been there for me when I was sick."

"I was only doing my duty, sir."

Y/N feared where this conversation was headed and she wanted to defuse this whole situation as soon as possible. Not send any wrong signals, not say any words that he might misunderstand because Aegon seemed to be hoping for a lot from her visit.

"No. I don't think it was just duty for you."

The young man reached for the wine that stood on a table. He wanted to enjoy the wine with her. Oh, the things he could do with this red Liquid and her desirable body...

"Would you like some wine?"

"No, sir. I... don't drink."

She heard Aegon laughing softly, and she swallowed nervously. What was so funny about that?

"I don't believe you. No one can resist the sweet taste of grapes."

Then he filled the glasses with the delicious red elixir and brought her the glass, standing close in front of her so that she could feel his breath on her face.

"Drink. It will do you good."

Hesitantly, she reached for the wine before taking a sip, while Aegon did the same, watching her closely. Then, he took her glas and set both aside.

“I wonder, how you will taste like.”

Aegon didn't want to wait any longer. Without any warning, the young man forced himself on her. His right hand gripped the back of her neck, while his left arm wrapped around her waist, pressing her close to his body.

"B-but, sir!"

"Enough with the games, Y/N. I want you!"

"Please! Who am I anyway? You'll find a woman who suits you better!"

But Aegon felt pure lust and desire right now. Unasked, he pressed his lips to hers and Y/N instantly pushed him away. Aegon did not like this at all and he showed it immediately.

"What are you thinking, you whore? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

"Sir, please. I don't want this!"

"I don't care what you want!"

Then he grabbed her arm and dragged her to his bed, where he pushed her on it and instantly mounted her. He tugged at her dress, ripping the fabric from her chest and exposing the tender skin beneath.

"Stop it! No!"

He pressed his hand over her mouth, threatening her, ordering her to be quiet. But enough was enough! Y/N would not put up with this. She punched him right into his face. Aegon had not seen this coming and her attack only made him angrier. The young woman screamed as he grabbed her dark hair and slaped her across the face. He grinned at her, laughing softly.

"You want it the hard way? I'm gonna fuck you so hard until you bleed, whore!"

But it was never to come to that, for in the very next moment she slammed her knee between his legs and Aegon collapsed to the floor, whimpering, while Y/N took flight. She ran down the corridor, fleeing from her tormentor, and by God, she would never enter that building again! Well, if they would even let her live after this. She had dared to hurt a Targaryen! What choice did she had? Tears obscured her vision as she ran for the exit. And as if she wasn't already in a bad situation, she bumped into Aemond and she fearfully looked up at her tormentor's brother, who scowled at her. He looked at her closely, looking into the frightened face of the beautiful woman. Her split lip, the disheveled hair, the torn dress. He knew exactly what was going on here and he was disgust.

"Was that him? My brother?!"

"Please, let me go, sir! I have done nothing wrong!"

Would Aemond punish her? If he found out she had attacked his brother?

"Please, please!"

She whimpered and cried until Aemond gently grabbed her face and soothed her.

"Shh. It's all right," he whispered, looking into her eyes. But Y/N was afraid. Could she trust Aemond? She was trembling all over and the youngh man noticed it.

"Nothing will happen to you."

Because she was under his protection. As for his brother, he would pay him soon enough a visit.

"What happened?"

"Sir, please… I..."

"Don't be afraid." Gently, he wiped the tears from her cheeks, not taking his eyes from her. "Tell me what happened."

"Your brother. He... he forced himself on me!"

"And you didn't want that?"

"No, I didn't want that!"

"Then what happened? Did he go on?"

He already knew the answer and it made him very angry.

She tearfully told him how Aegon had threatened her and Aemond had heard enough.

He leaned his forehead against hers while still holding her delicate face in his hands. She was his and no one would dare touching Y/N!

"No one will harm you!"

And he had no intention of leaving Y/N or replacing her with another woman. She was the woamn he was thinking day and night.

And now she was here. Laying in his arms, crying and afraid of being punished for defending herself.

"Y/N, I will protect you!"

Favorite TS3 worlds

Thank you @chojrak-making-things for the tag!!! 😊 🥰 (luckily, I went through the recommended tags and seen your post, because the Tumblr tagging system is faulty sometimes and I might’ve missed it since I haven't been around that much lately)

Alright, so this is a hard one because while I obviously love  CC worlds, I also enjoy the “classic” EA worlds and hold them as templates for my own work most of the time. So I’m going to rank my favourite EA worlds (base, EP & store) here.

Sunset Valley - (1) for the feeling I get when I start a new game in it after I’ve played other worlds for a long time. So cozy and comforting! Plus, it’s fun seeing what the townies will do with every new save (2) But it’s also very pretty. Love the layout with most of the important community lots in the center of the town and the main beach just a block away. It has some very well defines areas with he rich part of the town on the hill where the Altos and Landgraabs live, the secluded Wolff mansion on a cliff almost out on the sea, the eccentric and private Goths far into the woods and the middle class spread around the town center. Well, most of the worlds have this layout, but here it just seems more apparent.

* I also just recently found the perfect empty lot that’s close to the center and also allows me to click on most of the rabbitholes without needing to go in Map View.

Sunlit Tides - now that’s a surprise, is it not?!?!?  (lol, most of my downloadable worlds so far are islands). I don’t have strong opinions about the layout, except sometimes it bugs me how long in takes for sims to get to their destination. Putting that aside, I like the vibe of it, the colours, the lighting and the serene feel. Imo, it’s so distinctive amongst this game's worlds and a welcome option for gameplay.

Lucky Plams - never thought I’d like a desert-themed world this much, but here I am gushing over this one. In all fairness, it’s another distinctive and gorgeous map, but also large & versatile so you can place anything you want in there. And the Area-52 Test Labs cracks me every time, hence I’m playing an alien in this world.  

* also, it comes with the nice & different option to get your sims rich through gambling.  After you’ve spent 10+ years having sims paint or garden for simoleons, gambling is a nice change. And the animations are hilarious with them kicking the slot machines, showing their little fists up in the air and laughing maniacally at the black jack table 😅 😂

Bridgeport- but with a lighting mod to brighten it up. It somehow feels like home to me. I enjoy the appearance of a bustling city, the night life and the nice layout. As some might know, I may not be totally sold on the look of the high-rise shells, but can’t deny that they do hold their charm and complete the look.

WA’s Shang Simla  - gorgeous, cozy, serene & dreamy. Home of one of my favorite skills in TS3. “Nuff said.

Honorable mentions: Al Simhara, Monte Vista, Isla Paradiso, Moonlight Falls.

When it comes to CC worlds, I’ve tried a lot of them, but sadly some are so packed and complex that my machine has to struggle to run them. It’s a pity because we have the option to play RL large cities from different parts of our world, but can’t do it properly. Secretly envying those who can 😋 😅 But some I enjoyed would be Winchester Farming Community, Salmon Woods, Saaqartoq,  Evansdale County, Côtes d’Ambonnay, Harmony, Sunshine City, Willapa Valley and so many more I can’t remember right now.

To whoever read till this point, bless your soul for the patience to go thorugh my entire rambling!

I wouldn’t know who to tag because it seems everyone has done their ranking, but if you haven’t yet feel free to join. It’s actually a nice way to go over the countless TS3 worlds and the reasons we love them.

Have a nice day & happy simming!

even as a shadow has a chokehold on me it's insane. i'm a sucker for a tragic vampire!eddie story and so far you're the best at it. i love how you've written him, like you knew how he'd be when he turns into a vampire, where he was scared of himself and those he loved and the trauma?? the feelings?? everything?? plus him and wayne OH MY GOD i'm gonna cry 😭 i love this series, i don't think i'll move on from this, and i will reread this till the day i die

like, okay another thing, the slowburn (?) between obi and eddie?? the chemistry and the love i can feel through the screen. it's insane. absolutely insane. i love them, and i love u for this thank you so much for writing this series <3

Ahh thank you so much! 🥹 The moment I heard about the Kas theory, I knew I had to write something about it. There’s just something terribly alluring and tragic in stories about monsters who don’t want to be monsters, who never asked for teeth and claws.

I read a poem called “Start Here” by Caitlyn Siehl a few years ago, and the whole poem is beautiful and was definitely on my mind as I wrote this whole fic, but one line has always stuck with me.

When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.

That was the vibe I was going for in this story, and I’m glad I somewhat succeeded! 😅

And I’m glad people seemed to like Obi! She became more of an OC than I intended, I mostly just came up with the nickname bc I personally hate inserting “y/n” into my writings haha

But the goal was to give Eddie the love and happy ending he so rightfully deserved, and I will happily live in my bubble of denial no matter what the Duffers say 😂

Thank you again for reading, and for your message! ❤️ It really makes my day when people tell me they enjoy my unhinged ramblings 🥰

Okay okay thanks so much mimi TuT so... i will have my birthday this week and i'm going to past 20... then it comes to mind that in the past 1 year i have not any achievement that really worth ..and also that looks like i let my parents down.

I even have set myself many targets. Doing good at my uni, and then having a clear path to work. But i felt i haven't achieved any of that. Those things makes me scared to go home this week because i know my mom gonna congrulate my birthday and that reminds me even more of my failure :( So uh, mimi do you have any advice for this confused 20+1 adult-kid?  ☹

(ah ha... This got long because I guess this is a topic that I had to learn so I actually had more than I thought I'd say. I did restrain myself, but it was still long, so there a read more break lol)

First of all, happy birthday!!! (Whenever it happened :D)

As for the rest of your ask, it's really common to not meet your targets! When we make plans, we often don't make realistic ones. Also, life happens and there's a lot we can't control. But I understand how discouraging it can be to not be able to accomplish what you want to do. If you want more practical advice on setting goals, I know there are a lot of books and articles out there to help you. Things like setting goals that are realistic, measurable, etc. (I'm personally not a goal setter myself because I get too discouraged lolll. So I can't really point you to specific resources, but maybe you can ask around or research it.)

Also, maybe think again if you really didn't accomplish anything. If you remember something you did, try writing it down. It's really easy to forget what we've actually done. And also check to make sure you're not feeling like this because you're comparing yourself to other people. :)

Another thing. You might have actually been lazy the past year and you're feeling the effects of that. 🤷‍♀️ I'm just being real because that happens to me too. However, I didn't get that impression from your ask. You ultimately know better than I do. But regardless of whether or not you've actually failed, your failures don't define who you are. :)

(So this is the part where I talk about my faith because that's just who I am lol.)

When I was younger, I placed a lot of pressure on myself to please my parents and to not disappoint them. That's where I put my self-worth. But when the things about God finally got through to me, it changed me. For example, the fact that Jesus loved me despite fully knowing all of my sins, weaknesses and failures changed how I viewed myself. He knows all the bad things I did that I don't even know myself, so I'm probably worse than I think I am lolll. But God, who is righteous, holy, and is totally justified to punish me for my sins, made a way for us to be reconciled because He loves me! (I feel like I'm rambling now but I guess I like talking about this when people are willing to hear it. 😅)

Basically, when I remember these things (and I often forget 🤦‍♀️), I'm not so focused on what I didn't accomplish anymore because God knows all of that and still loves me. And if God loves me despite all of that, what I think or what my parents think doesn't matter as much. It changes my perspective. :)

I also learned (and am continuing to learn) how to work hard and just leave the results to God, but I feel like that's getting into a slightly different topic. I might begin to ramble about my university years if I start now. lolll.

I hope that helped you in some way! I feel like I said a lot, so I hope you got at least something from all of that. And thank you for sending this ask because I need to take my own advice too. I'm in a different stages of life now but the same principles apply. :)

Good day to you, saw you’re doing questions :) I’d love to know your answer to 8, 9, 16 and 35, if you don’t mind. Love your writing! In your last answer post you said you enjoy writing a characters inner world and how they react the most - and it shows. You could write a whole chapter about Em or Nicolas going to the supermarket, thinking about which kinda bread to buy and it still would be interesting :)

Thanks for the compliment 💚

I remember I wrote about Em sitting in bed waiting for somebody and that was a whole chapter somehow? Sometimes I’m amazed by myself how mundane the actions of the people are and how boring that must be to read. But then I remind myself that the inner journey of the characters is the point. An intense and action-full plot would probably distract from the emotional and mental problems the characters go through, and too much action could bury the often subtle character development.

I love that others appreciate this style of telling a story as much as me 💚 Thank you.

On to your questions:

8. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write?

I find it easiest to write characters who are ridden with self-doubt and self-loathing. Those are emotions I can connect easily to, plus I guess those are emotions that show the depth of a character’s experiences. Everything and the kitchen sink gets thrown into self-loathing and twisted into its worst possible form - there’s lots to say.

Additionally, there’s an inherent want/need for betterment, which means there’s always at least one goal to write towards.

9. Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write?

Funny ones.

Of course it’s hard to write if a character is a specialist in a field I don’t know shit about, but I usually muddle my way through that well enough.

But humor is a hard thing to capture in writing, lots of tone and gesture and body language and other situational cues make a thing funny. My writing style is sort of sparse with descriptions of the world surrounding the characters, so that’s inherently tough. Unfortunately, I’m not an overly funny person. My own sense of humor I would describe as more subtle and underhanded, sarcastic to a large extent and sometimes crass.

On top of that I have a very hard time with shame and embarrassment. I can’t imagine to behave overly silly in public or to make an ass out of myself on purpose. I don’t do that and I don’t think of that as funny and I wouldn’t come up with any pranks of this sort.

So in that regard it pains me greatly that I cannot capture Em’s funny and silly side in a believable way. He’s very serious in my stories, because I’m a rather serious person.

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

Possibly that I make everything into a romantic-sexual relationship. As an aroace person I find the notion of romance and sex with another person fascinating and weird, that’s why I want to explore it.

Even though I absolutely agree that there’s way too much romantic-sexual relationships in the media already and we should center more platonic ones. I just can’t bring myself to write them myself 😅

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

The process of revision is not only immensely important but I also enjoy it quite a lot 💚

My writing process necessitates that I write the same chapter at least four times, sometimes more. Each time I discover new aspects of the scene, a different angle to show a certain detail from and of course I polish the narration itself. The easiest phase for me is having a finished draft and rewriting every word into something presentable. This step also often includes all the emotions and feelings and background details that make my writing fun and engaging to read. It’s the easiest and most fun phase because I get to play with language, implement rhetorical devices and I can really dive deeply into a character’s psyche at this point. That’s all the things I love about writing 💚

Whereas all the steps before focus only on the physical actions and dialogue, which is the hardest part to come up with. Who’s doing what where and when? What needs to be said? How are the characters reacting? Where the fucking hell are these reactions leading me to??? It’s very stressful and it takes quite some time. The sparser my notes beforehand are the harder this stage is to get through.

The very first step often is to come up with the subject for a chapter: What’s the whole fucking point of the coming word vomit?

Sometimes I have an idea like "I want Em to fuck this person" or "I want Em to do some knife play" or "I want some jealous conflict" and I then have to invent a reason for a) why is he doing it? and b) why should the reader care for it? Which then often culminates into a character moment: for Em to display growth or regression, maybe he’s learning a lesson or increasingly he’s applying a lesson. I always try to give my chapters a point to revolve around, something that makes this scene important for the character’s journey. I succeed more often than not.

In that way I often interpret my work before I’ve written it. I find that a funny quirk of my process. When I have the vague one sentence-idea of what happens (or sometimes even without this), I then proceed to interpret what this chapter should accomplish in the grand scheme of things, what themes need to be picked up, to which of the narrative threads I want to connect and so on. This is also a phase I quite enjoy. I have a degree in literature, so I’m very well aware of the techniques used when interpreting a work of art and it’s a lot of fun to sorta reverse engineer the thing. This phase works best if I can bounce my ideas off of another person (thanks @cosmicbash for being that person).
