NPMD Tarot - The Lovers

Others from the project: The Devil, The Hierophant , The Star, Strength, The World

A bit of symbolism under the cut, but I'm curious of other interpretations!!

Card that's all about forming own opinions and being authentic to self? Where the Reversed meaning is about hard choices and dealing with consequences? Even if they weren't the main couple of the musical it would've fitted them well!

There are twists in this one - major one is replacing the angel that blesses the couple with Max - still alive, threatening in all of his bully glory.

I kept the "everyone looks at someone who's looking at someone else" circle - Max is threatening Peter, Peter is in love with Steph and Steph is prepared to go after Max for what he did to Peter.

They have more nervous/covered up body language than the original card, since they aren't communicating that clearly. Steph is more open, even if nervous, Peter is on the fence, but willing.

Gun between them, pointing at Peter? You'll never guess what's that referencing :P

sinful sentences catalogue

hunger. that was all max could think of when he saw you. he knew that lando norris had a sister, he had even seen photos of you while scrolling aimlessly throughout instagram. but in the photos with your brother, you were often in baggier clothes. while they were trendy pieces, you liked hiding your figure rather than showing it off. so imagine the surprise that max had when during a sunny weekend at silverstone, there was you in a lovely sundress.

who would've thought you'd make mclaren orange look good. but when he saw you in that colour, he wasn't thinking of mclaren. he was thinking of home, thinking of himself.

and whatever higher power was out there happened to put you right where he needed you.

partying after a dizzying weekend felt good. and you were at the same bar he was at, without your brother however. he noticed you were with some other women, but you stayed behind once they left for their ubers. you were happy to be there, even as you got a little more wobbly as the night progressed. max watched you from his seat, you were too drunk to catch him staring. you weren't in that sundress anymore, but max couldn't help but still eye you.

and then like a siren's call, he was pulled from his seat and into the empty one next to you. you looked up from your phone and looked at him and jumped a little. there was a certain haziness in your eyes as you tried to process.

"max verstappen? what are you doing here?" then broke into a big, silly (drunk) grin before you put your phone down and had another sip of your rather strong cocktail.

"enjoying the night before the next flight to the next race. what are you doing here still?"

you finished the drink, "i was with my friends, but they left early. i was supposed to be picked up by lando... but i think he's either asleep or with that girl he's been into. some model, don't know her." you replied as you looked at your phone that you left on the shiny wood of the bar.

"a brother shouldn't leave his sister all alone at a place like this. someone could hurt you, and that would be on lando's head." he placed a hand over top of yours and said, "i guess i'll just have to look after you tonight." he smiled softly, the kind of smile that pulled drunk you in.

you giggled and tried to pull your hand away, "i can look after myself, max." but he tightened his grip on your hand on the bar, "after all, lando is your top rival right now." you tried to sound a little cheeky.

"then let me buy you another drink. i don't think you've had enough already." he said with what you thought was humor in his tone, but as the bartender made another sweet alcoholic drink, max had other intentions with you.

you ended up in max's car after one drink became two. you weren't paying attention when max asked for the drinks to have two shots in them instead of one. so sugar plus four shots of vodka in your already drunk system made you one tipsy little angel. by then you were a little more agreeable to max's offer of protection.

you wobbled a little more and clung to the front of max's t-shirt. you pressed your nose into the fabric of it and gave it a deep inhale. then giggled, "you smell good."

max held you by the back and guided you towards his car, "well, i can't be smelling bad, can i?"

you looked at him and pouted, "nuh-uh." then rubbed your soft cheek up against the softer fabric and exhaled deeply. except that exhale sounded a little like a moan and max felt his cock twitch in his jeans. you were just perfect, huh? max loved it, he loved the feeling of you up against him. it was hard to depart when he had to get you into the car.

and by the time he was in the driver's seat, you were looking at him with a frown and tears in your ears. max raised his eyebrows at you and you sniffled pathetically, "i thought you weren't coming back." and max near had to bite his fist to keep it together. holy fuck.

he reached over and cupped your face and wiped your tears with his thumbs, "aw, don't cry. don't cry. i'll make it all better." he said with a hint of love in his tone. but he wouldn't call the feelings for you loving. rather he carnally needed you. the way a hawk needed a rabbit. or a wolf craved the flesh of a deer. he tested the waters by kissing you and when you didn't recoil. he knew he had you.

it was only a matter of time before he had you in his hotel room. the skirt of your dress was pushed up and you were barely focused enough to get your heels off. when you bent over, you were uneasy as you tried to get the straps undone and max was rubbing up against your slightly exposed ass like a hungry animal.

"i should text my brother." you said.

"after, after." he wrapped a strong arm around you, "like you said, he is either asleep or busy. you don't want to bother him do you?" when he could, he kissed behind your ear and then said softly, "plus, i can protect you better. i won't leave you out to dry." his grip on you tightened, "you'll be good for me tonight, right?"

you asked, "what are you going to do to me?" your voice was uneasy.

"if your brother wants to take my title. then i guess i'm just going to have to take his sister." he felt you hold onto his arms around you and he kissed you warm, sweet flesh once more.

it was dizzying getting into max's bed. his large hands on you. you didn't realize how large they were until he slid one up the skirt of your dress and grope your ass. basically the whole cheek in his grasp as he pressed himself up against you. you both in bed together, his lips on yours as he slowly got your panties off. your brain was too muddled with liquor to properly consent, but you knew the feeling was electric.

all rationale was out of the window once he tossed the cotton panties over his shoulder then worked the dress off of you, it ended up around your waist. he then bit at your breasts through your bra. he said to you with a heated tone, "fat tits." he rubbed his clothed cock up against your bare thigh, "see, i know how to take care of you. bad, bad men out there." but not him, never him. even as he groped you until you whined.

"bad men?"

"yeah. those who wouldn't treat a woman like you correctly. take advantage of you." he said as he took the dress off of you fully off from around your hips. and it ended up on the floor. his hands were back on your breasts, "men who are more animal than human. monsters." he peppered kisses across your tits and rubbed against you further, "i'll take care of you. protect you. no one else can have you."

you were trapped under him but as he toyed with your clit, the thoughts couldn't fully form. the consent of all of this felt complicated, but as he teased you, your body seemed to submit to the dutchman. you couldn't tell that his obsession for you grew deeper as he bit heavy bruises onto your chest.

"do you think i can keep you safe? protect you, keep you safe from all those monsters." he rubbed his cock up against you for a moment long before he stripped out of his clothes, "i want to hear you say it." then pressed a hand around your throat, "tell me, i'm the best."

you looked at him with wide eyes for a moment and when he loosened the grip you said, "you're the best, max." your tone wavered due to the liquor in your system, "are you going to use protection?"

max just smiled after he got his shirt off. the kind of smile that made front pages, a winner's smile. he patted your cheek a little rougher and said, "of course. i said i'd take care of you, no? can't have little norris' running around." little verstappens were a different story though. the rustle of his belt and the zip of his jeans. he stripped of his clothes.

he got you onto your stomach and raised your hips to be leveled with his erect cock.

"condom?" you squeaked.

he looked at your wet cunt for a moment and replied, "already on." a bold faced lie as he sank into you, completely unprotected. call it a sick obsession, call it a need for claim. a small voice in max's head told him to back out now, before he got in too deep. but it was overshadowed by the larger urge to keep going. to bruise your poor little cervix with his cock, to finish right up into your womb and make sure it all took.

you were so out of it, your noises loud as he fucked you. his pace was quick and his movements were fluid. you felt like heaven, just as he expected. your cunt seemed to pull him in deeper. even in your inebriated state, your body knew what it wanted. five-eleven blond dutch driver with a cock that could ruin you.

his movements felt good to you, your noises weren't restrained thanks to high blood alcohol level you had. he took you from behind and made sure that your head was pressed into the covers. just in case you found out max's little white lie. he held you down by the back of your neck with his other hand on your hip. he pressed into you, as deep as he'd go.

his cock hit all the right places, slammed against your sweet spot that made you sputter out a sweet moan. you felt almost degraded, that he fucked you like an animal. on you knees he rammed into you and it left your brain feeling dizzy. the pleasure and the burn of liquor left your head cloudy and your words jumbled.

he was fucking you, as filth poured from his mouth. you could find little to react with. his breath hot against your warmed skin as he thrusted in and out of you. you couldn't process what he was saying, but the word pregnancy made your cunt clench at instinct. that only made him chuckle as he kept moving. you prayed that the condom would protect any mishaps.

when he spoke dutch to you, the confusion only grew. you didn't know a lick of the language. you learned french and italian, not dutch. so max's words went over your head, "you drive me crazy, little rabbit. the way you look, the way you move around the paddock. your stupid brother made a big mistake not picking you up tonight. letting me have you all to myself. maybe i'll send him a bottle of something expensive when i get his sister knocked up. how does that sound? out of mclaren orange and into proper dutch orange. would be fitting because when i'm done with you, you'll be at least nine percent dutch with how much i'll finish inside of you." his mouth ran and he sounded insane.

you sniffled as the flood of emotion made you cry a little. and max only shuddered from the feeling. he kissed your cheek as he rocked into you. you whimpered as you felt his cock just invade every inch of you. he fit perfectly, didn't stretch you too much that it would make you cry more. he fit in a way that made it hard to focus on much else. hence why your little cry-baby self was brought to tears from the feeling. when max asked what was wrong, you replied, "what are you saying to me?"

"nothing to worry about." he said, "you felt so good that i got my languages mixed up." he knew you didn't know the language, so it allowed him to speak more freely. his want for you. his intentions with your sweet body. he kissed your pulse point as leaned into you further. bodies flushed together like two halves of a whole. "you'll never need to worry about anything again." his words like a promise as he continued to fuck you.

"no more dutch." you whined drunkenly, "not fair!"

he let go of your neck and kissed you on the lips with your cheek against the pillow. the kiss was at an awkward angle, but it established dominance in a certain way. you were under him, taking his pleasure after he basically poured liquor down your throat.

he was mad for you. insane in a way that would shock most. max was a nice guy off the track. but tonight was fucking a fellow driver's sister raw. bad behavior, verstappen. that could land him a slap on the wrist! more community service for flooding your cunt with his cum. a penalty for getting you drunk. hell, even disqualification for touching what wasn't his. he should know better, but with a cunt like yours, the fia could throw the book at him! lando norris could choke his lights out, but that wouldn't make you un-pregnant. and max wasn't letting you raise the next best without him.

the pace quickened. his want for you grew with each heavy thrust. he could taste the pleasure like blood in his mouth. while he couldn't spew out filth, he thought about it as the sounds of your fucking filled the room. the scent and heat of sex was apparent as he ruined your sweet cunt.

a good pussy for him, keep his satisfied. he licked his lips as he kissed your back once more as his pace staggered. his want was apparent and his climax was near. you choked out more moans and even let out a few more tears. he shushed you and said, "don't cry, don't cry. doesn't it feel good? see, this is what being protected feels like. to be taken care of. am i the best?"

you nodded, "yes, max." your cheeks stung with heat and you could feel the twist in his stomach. you swallowed and asked, "is the condom on right?"

"it's on perfectly, now stop worrying." he thrusted all the way in and held his cock pressed up against your cervix for a moment. the pressure made you moan and your mind go blank for a moment. someone like you shouldn't be asking so many questions, it wasn't an endearing quality.

pleasure became all consuming quickly. your pussy could only take so much before you clutched onto the hotel sheets and arched your back as much as you could. your slick cunt held onto his cock, like it knew what it wanted and climaxed around him.

"that's it." he cooed, "perfect." his words were more intoxicating than the liquor. you felt in a haze as he continued to fuck you. you stopped asking about the condom so he let go of your neck and held onto your hips with both hands.

he moved quickly, he moved with a fever in his blood. and he tensed up for a moment before he relaxed as he finished inside of you. the damage was done and whatever happened next he'd stand by you. bright smile on his face and a protective hand on your swollen middle.

just as you should be. knocked up and tied to max in every way he could get you.

he got you onto your back with his cock only out of you for a second. but you weren't focusing on anything. your eyes were hazy and completely unfocused. perfect for him to sink back in, another round for extra measure.

-

the thing about hunger is that it always returned. and despite a night of unprotected passion with you, max wanted more. he wanted to feel the tight wetness of your cunt. so when you were shown tickets to the next race, you were more than happy to go see your brother.

and while max smiled when you said that, he only cupped your cheek and tapped your face gently with your thumb. soon enough, he thought, you'd be cheering him on in redbull's colours with a firmer slope in your middle. maybe it didn't work in silverstone, but there was more than enough season left to fully claim lando norris' sister. because once the hunger set in, max wanted nothing more than to keep sinking his teeth into your soft skin.

marked, claimed and owned by max verstappen. <3

74. “i’m going to fuck you against the windows, i want everyone to see how good you are for me” with All Might in Might Tower perhaps... 👀

warnings: smut, lewd themes, semi-public sex, vaginal fingering, penetrative sex, dirty talk, before his first fight with AFO prompt: “i’m going to fuck you against the windows, i want everyone to see how good you are for me”

Working with such a professional like All Might really is thrilling. You and him make such a great team. Not to mention, he’s a great teacher in a lot of ways. You’re sort of an up and coming hero, but you’ve got a pretty good reputation going on. And your quirks work well in tandem, so it’s practically a match made in heaven.

As time goes by, you and Toshinori find yourself unable to really ignore the tension in the air. It’s harder to just be professional with one another. He turns you on like nobody else, and you excite him so much he feels like a horny teenager. It doesn’t help that the two of you are creating an emotional bond as well.

One night, you and him arrive at Might Tower after a successful patrol. You notice the way Toshinori seems to almost not look at you too much. You wish to ask him about it, but you aren’t sure it’s the right thing to do either. So instead you just let it simmer as he tries to finish up some paperwork. You’re very happy that Mirai took the night off or else things would be even more awkward.

Finally, All Might looks up at you from his paperwork. He beckons you towards him and you have no choice but to approach him. The light sheen of sweat on his body has you licking your lips. He looks so good in that damn costume. To say you haven’t touched yourself to thoughts of him would be such a lie.

“Can you help me with this?” He asks, his voice sounding a little more husky than usual.

You round the desk and bend over to look at what he needs help with. Before you can even read anything, he pulls you into a sensual kiss. His tongue slides into your mouth so perfectly, wrangling with your own. You end up on his lap, wrapping your arms around him. He’s not letting you go now that he has you right where he wants you.

He strips you, making him look at your body so lustfully. You watch as he sucks on two of his thick fingers, then he uses them to open you up. The sweet sounds that come from you makes his cock rock hard as he fingers you to a wet and sticky orgasm.

Toshinori removes his own suit, pushing you up against the windows in the tower. You can see the whole city from up here. He whispers in your ear huskily as he hikes up one of your legs to wrap around him.

“How about this…I’m going to fuck you against the windows.” He kisses you as his cock prods your little hole. “I want everyone to see how good you are for me.”

You moan his name and cling to him as he begins to impale you onto  his cock. He smirks as he bottoms out, loving the way your little walls flutter wildly around him to adjust for his big size.

“Tell me,” he says as he begins to thrust into you. “You’ve been dreaming about this, haven’t you?”

“Fuck, yes! Yes I have!”

He pushes into you some more, fucking you up ahainst the windows. Soon he pulls out and presses you face first against the windows. He spreads your ass cheeks, looking at your tiny hole before penetrating you. You whine as he seems to reach even deeper with this position.

“That’s it,” he whispers in your ear. “Scream for me. Tell the world who fucks you like this!”

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thank you for the tag @hyperions-light! Not sure who else has already been tagged, but I'll go for @miladydewintcr @teine-mallaichte @rookgallustroublesomehousehimbo @adainesjacket

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

29! Should probably be more, given the number of snippets I've posted on Tumblr that I think would make solid one shots, but I'm still trying to decide which ones are good enough to upload...

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

477,628 words which is... honestly way more than I expected, especially as it doesn't include all my Tumblr fic which is now at about 90,000 words...

3) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

life 2.0 (Wolf 359), what stays and what fades away (Grishaverse), something enchanting, something deadly (Wolf 359), something monstrous in your eyes (Penumbra Podcast), call it what you want (Wolf 359 AGAIN)

However many Dragon Age fics I have written lately, the stats still call me a Wolf 359 Girlie

4) What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Dragon Age, occasionally the Grishaverse/Shadow and Bone, historically Wolf 359 (my beloved). Occasionally I will get brainworms about a different fandom but it takes a lot of brainrot for me to actually get stuff written down.

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

Always! I treasure comments on my fic to the point where I refresh my email inbox after posting a new chapter in search of Comment! I also try to leave comments on all the fics I read, because I know how much it means when I get them. <3

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

Either waiting for the world to end or all the shattering stars, which isn't exactly surprising - they're both pretty much the same theme (Angsty Mind Control) focussed on two different pairs of characters.

7) What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

If we're not counting pure fluff, probably merry solstice (please don't call), which is at its heart, a holiday romance despite the angst. Pretty much everyone gets to live happily ever after (and they all kiss).

8) Do you get hate on fics?

It hasn't happened so far, and if it did, I would probably cry and then block someone. Fortunately up to now my ship and fandom preferences haven't lined up with anyone's poor little meow meows, but I'm a little nervous for when that day comes...

9) Do you write smut?

I have Attempted Smut, in the Solsticeverse codas a spy in the house of your love. I will probably try again eventually, but it's almost as hard to write as a good fight scene, lol.

10) Do you write crossovers?

Unless you include Daemon AUs, which I love, not really? I tend to like settings where the characters absolutely belong there, so it's hard to come up with crossovers that grip me enough to write them.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not yet, as far as I know.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but it would be an honour.

13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

All the time! It's how my beloved @adainesjacket and I got together. <3

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

Cannot believe you would limit me to one, but I will try and take my picks from fandoms I actually write for!

Dragon Age - Morrigan/F!Warden

Grishaverse - David Kostyk/Genya Safin

Wolf 359 - Renee Minkowski/Isabel Lovelace

15) What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Ugh this feels like a jinx but maybe the sequel to What Stays and What Fades Away... I'm working on it, I swear, but then Dragon Age happened...

16) What are your writing strengths?

Based on my fic history? Angst and hurt/comfort, probably, along with childhood friendships.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

FIGHT SCENES (also sex scenes). Anything involving choreography and sentences that can't run on for an hour.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I love it! I'm bad at it, but I love it.

19) First fandom you wrote for?

So this is way back in the annals of history and will not be uncovered, but my first ever fics were for a series called The Sisters Grimm, when I was about 12.

20) Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Cannot believe you're asking me to pick my favourite child, but probably something enchanting, something deadly, the first thing I wrote with my wife, and a huge part of how we fell in love. <3

If I can cheekily add solo fics, it's the kick inside, obviously.

Another commission!

Summary: Rowan and Charlotte hang out, and find out a ship of them is becoming popular.

TW: Suggestive themes/dialogue, mentioned stalking

...

It wasn't often Rowan got to hang out with Charlotte, due to her being busy most of the time. But tonight was a rare occurrence where they would be spending some quality time together at their favorite bar.

When Rowan arrived, he saw that Charlotte had already ordered two drinks for them—her usual glass of red wine, and a glass of bourbon for Rowan, as per usual.

"Usually I'm the one who arrives fashionably late," Charlotte chuckled. "What kept you so long?"

"I was busy." Rowan gave an non-committal shrug. By busy, that really meant stalking Sawyer, but he wasn't going to explain that to her. "Anywho, how was your day?"

Charlotte smiled, taking a sip of her wine. Some of her lipstick stuck to the glass. "Ah, just another day. But I did find something interesting." She pulled out her phone, taking just one moment. "Look at this."

She handed Rowan her phone. Onscreen displayed a photo of Rowan and Charlotte kissing in front of a building.

Rowan gaped. "Is...is this photoshop...?" he asked incredulously. "Oh, God. I didn't do anything while drunk, did I?"

Charlotte laughed, then waved her hand dismissively. "No, and no. Just some AI deepfakes. I thought the panic about it was over exaggerated, until I saw this. If I had to guess, it's either teens or young adults posting this. But it was pretty amusing. Apparently our 'ship' name is Charowan. Like... Char...Rowan."

He gave her a deadpan look. "Never did I think I'd be shipped with anyone..."

"Are you hurt that it isn't with your boytoy?" Charlotte mused. The jab made Rowan sputter, spitting out his bourbon back into the glass.

"I'll have you know he's not a boytoy!" Rowan snapped, but there was no real heat behind it. "I'm just shocked. And those deepfakes kind of freak me out... this is why I try to stay out of the spotlight. My brother would prefer this kind of attention."

Charlotte snorted. "Your brother would prefer any kind of attention." She drank more of her wine. "But I personally don't care. Let people fantasize about us making out or whatever. It doesn't bother me one bit. The fanfictions of us were honestly more alarming."

"Fanfictions?!"

"I only skimmed over a few. Pure boredom," she explained. "There's surprisingly a decent amount of stories involving us. Oh, yes, and in all the stories you're an awkward, bumbling virgin who gets off on getting dominated by me. Which if we were an item, I'd say sounds about right."

Rowan nearly choked on air. "I'll have you know I have plenty of experience!"

"Ohh, I'm sure you have lots of experience with your pillow." Charlotte giggled as she caught sight of how red Rowan turned.

"You aren't funny." Rowan took a sip of his bourbon. "Is there any other humiliating things I should know about?"

She shook her head, continuing to scroll, then her face split in a grin. "Oh, wait. This is the best part, I somehow didn't even see this." She showed him another deepfake, but of them getting married. "I guess that's why there's the sudden craze for Charowan, now that we're 'engaged'." She put down her phone, picking up her wine again.

"I really don't want to go on any shows to dispute these claims," Rowan sighed.

"Why not social media? You have Twitter and Insta, don't you?"

"Only because it's convenient to have it. I don't ever use any of my accounts."

She finished off her glass. "I can dispute it if it bothers you that much. Though I'm sure anyone with half a brain will realize these are fake themselves. The pictures aren't perfect."

"The one where we're kissing looks really convincing..."

"Only if I weren't wearing such an ugly shirt. My real fans know I'd never wear almost any of these outfits. Though the tacky clothes you have on in these deepfakes really suit you."

Rowan rolled his eyes fondly. "Remind me why I keep your number saved?"

"Oh, please, you love me. Or maybe the fans are right, and you really are a masochist." She laughed at Rowan's exasperated groan.

My VN List!

I'm listing them according to ones I've played and ones I plan to play (as well as brief notes about either my opinion on the game or why I'm interested in them, formatted like this.)

This is for my own personal collection tbh, I just need to put them all in one place.

A. Have played:

The Arcana. Played since I was 16, all time favourite and Julian is my husband. This game shaped my interest for fantasy settings and magic. BUT! As a long time fan I must warn new players that trying to get the full experience for this game is difficult because of its coin system. The only reason I manage to keep playing for years is because I literally take a year's worth of breaks in between routes and logged in every. Single. Day. to collect coins and keys. It's literally been 6 years and I still haven't 100% the game yet cause I simply didn't have that kind of energy and time to do that anymore, but I still love the characters very deeply till now.

Blooming Panic. Second all time fave. Fell for Quest first, fell for Toasty hardest, for some reason is obsessed with xyx. I've revolved my entire personality around BP since 2023.

ERROR 143. Fun! Micah is technically not my type but I really like the general aesthetic and humor of the game. Iirc there are still more content to come to the game so I am very excitedly and patiently waiting.

3 Seasons. This was short and sweet. I think what I liked the most about this was the unique character designs, especially Rye and Briar's. I heard the dev's are working on more content on the current LI's + Briar's route, I'm really excited for those.

Our Life: Beginning & Always. Our life was INCREDIBLE, to put it simply. The entire game and story was very well thought out that it even made me reflect on my own life at each phase along the game. It gave me a really strong sense of nostalgia and reminded me of my own feelings during every change I had experienced. I actually wanted to make a whole post about OLBA but I got busy and already forgot everything I wanted to say, ehe. I still have to play the DLC and get the remaining locked CGs though.

Assignment Due: Project Blue. THIS GAME IS ADORABLE. I already made a blog post about what I like about it and I will again emphasis on how this game felt like it was made specifically for me. I love Asher so much aaaaa. I heard rei, the dev is working on another game for Eden, I'm looking forward for that, too.

Coffee Talk. Coffee talk was so so good! I need to play more non-romance VNs too cause this was so enjoyable in terms of its storytelling, setting, gameplay and design. Every character had such a nice story that tied up nicely, even the MC who's supposed to be just an observer throughout the entire thing. Also the cozy vibes and music is a 10/10 would recommend.

A Date with Death. This one's so cute too! I played only one route last year and just picked it up again recently. I have only one route left to finish and the new DLC!. Anyways yes the Grim Reaper is very babygirl I can attest to it.

seekL. THIS IS SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. If you didn't see the one week phase where I basically went insanely obsessed with seekL, you missed out. Hacker man save me.. save me.. hackerman..

B. Want to play:

Lost in Limbo. Really pretty art and interesting concept. The theme seems very fantasy/magic centric which really pulls me in. But this game is still a WIP iirc

When The Night Comes. Technically I'm currently playing this one, but only the intro and hadn't touched the game in months cause I've been busy. Again, the fantasy setting caught my interest aaand I just met Ezra but I already love him. Will continue this as soon as I can!

Infinite Blue. I've played the demo! Very mysmes reminiscent lol. The game looked very cute so far and Brooklyn reminded me that I'll never run away from my old man liker allegations. It's already out so I def gotta play it soon.

Coffee Talk Episode 2. Don't really need an explanation for this one except that the new characters I've seen so far looks really cool.

Tavern Talk. D&D inspired Coffee Talk! If it's not obvious already, I LOVE fantasy settings so even though I've never played D&D, it is right up my alley and I wish I could play it someday. I've been eyeing the production of this game for a while so I'm really excited that it's finally out!

Obscura. This one looks really REALLY cool but I haven't actually read into what it's actually about. The art alone looks good enough to get my attention. Really curious about it, I hope I'll play it soon.

Intertwine. Just from looking at the 2023 Otome Jam entries overall I thought this one looked most visually appealing to me. I love the color scheme, and the aesthetic reminds of the string of fate myth (that probably is the theme)

DATA BR<3ACH. I'm usually not a fan of cyberpunk setting but this one seemed pretty intriguing to me visually!

Innerlog. By Jenny V Pham! I enjoyed Error 143 so I have no doubt I'll enjoy this one too.

Andromeda Six. My impression of this one is "space D&D" lol. I can't believe I haven't played this one yet.

TOUCHSTARVED. I can NOT believe only the demo is out cause the quality looks like it should've been a long existing popular franchise. One thing I'm a little hesitant about playing this game is because it's goth themed and in case you haven't noticed, a lot of the media I like have a softer, more pastel aesthetic. lol. But that's a personal preference and yet I definitely need to play it sometime soon.

Cupid's Chatroom. There's really not much to say. Pink aesthetic? Mysterious chatsim that appeared out of nowhere? My cup of tea 100%

Na Daoine Maithe. I've played the demo of this one and it is sooo interesting. I like myths but I've never really read into Gaelic ones. The art is so pretty and the story so far is very intriguing. I can't wait for the full game.

Swiped!: Double Shots of Love. FINALLY AN INDIE VN WITH OLDER MALE LOVE INTERESTS DFKJFDSJKD I played the demo, it was really really cute! The professor LI was made to call me out lol

Wake Me Up If You Need Me. A game made by rice! Someone who I've seen around in the fandom and who's really talented at making songs and audios. I had no idea they made a game but I just found it recently and I have to play it.

Keyframes. It looks really good but I'm interested mostly cause I found out Charlatean (Toasty's VA) is in this kjsdhfgkjd

Rekindle. I follow the lovely artist that's creating it and the DEMO IS OUT!. I saw one (1) art of Jules and he is EXACTLY my type so I'm already looking forward to this game.

Our Life: Now & Forever. Baxter's OL game! I already loved Cove's so I'm really really interested in this version of the game. Plus, I actually really like the autumn aesthetic compared to Cove's beachy style.

Hummingbird's Crown. Has a very interesting premise: a time loop mystery. I'm definitely interested in this one for its story potential rather than the romance, I love me a good mystery.

Aaand that's it. Thankfully "( – ⌓ – )

There's actually a few more that I added in my twitter bookmarks but those are relatively new and I haven't decided if I really want to play them yet. I'm following the devs though so that interest might grow over time. These lists are long enough as they are already, haha.

Marshall Merchandise Update! (Jan. 2025)

The new Air Rescue toys still haven't arrived in the United States (granted, I'm not sure they're available anywhere yet), but that doesn't mean I haven't managed to obtain a few items in the meantime!

Without further ado, here are the new additions to my collection!

Again, I tried to spruce up my pics with an image on my monitor. I figured why not pick something with snow, since Indiana's been getting hit with plenty here lately (and ice...). 😅

To start things off, here's something I received for Christmas! Not too long ago, a friend went to that indoor Nickelodeon Universe theme park, and when she seen this cup, she knew I had to have it. It's really cool! She'll likely read this, so once again, thank you for the gift!

Next up, another Christmas gift!

Another friend of mine, who lives in the United Kingdom, found this at a store called "Primark". She figured the United States wouldn't get any, so she sent it to me to add to my collection. And... I don't believe these are available in the USA at all, so she figured correctly! Actually, until I got this in the mail, I had no idea it even existed! What a wonderful surprise! I believe she'll also read this at some point, so once again, thank you!

Oh, she also sent me a Christmas-themed Marshall drawing, too! It's really awesome! I need to take this, as well as the other drawings people have made for me, and put them in a frame and hang them on my wall. Seriously, I'm honestly touched by all the folks who've done this for me. You're all awesome. :)

Yet another gift! This one was well after Christmas, however.

As you might recall, I was looking for one of these the other day, but my local Walmart either sold out quickly or didn't get any in (or, again, Marshall was disguised). I figured I'd have to wait until they got some in stock again, but much to my surprise, I didn't have to wait for too long, as my aunt visited another Walmart and found one! Funnily enough, she had no idea I was even looking for one. lol

Oh, and if you're curious, Bowser's back there to hold the plush up. Thanks for being a pal, koopa king! He's the best party member in Super Mario RPG... there, I said it! lol

Last, this "Booksy"... thing! I'm not entirely sure what to call it, but it's rather cute! Admittedly, I'm not sure if I'll take it out of the container or not. I might just leave it in there to keep it safe.

Now, why is it called Booksy? It's because this thing actually has a tiny book inside of it! Just unscrew the head and there it is. And from what I've seen, going by this Instagram post, each book is based on an episode of the TV series (not surprising). Assuming every Marshall booksy is the same, his is based on season 6's "Midnight at the Museum". I do recall that one being a fun episode, and it ended with Marshall helping out near the end, so it's not a bad choice!

Fortunately, the other pups got one of these, too. Even Rocky and Zuma! Everest and Liberty joined in on the fun as well (no Tracker, I think). In any case, if you want to buy one yourself, you can find them at Walmart (in the states, anyway).

And that's all for now! Oh, I should update you all on something I talked about a while back. I said I was reorganizing my whole Marshall collection, and once I finished, I was going to post some pics of it. I never did, and I have a reason.

.......I got lazy. 😅

Well, that, and I became a little too consumed with fixing that New Nintendo 2DS XL, which I also mentioned back then. Thankfully, it's fixed now (we don't need to talk about how much of an ordeal that was...), so I'll eventually get back to my collection... once I stop procrastinating. It's mostly finished, other than a few shelves. Hopefully I'll get some update pics up soon... soon-ish... someday!

4/25/2025

Mirrors of the same afternoon sky...

Positive thing: I finally had my shoulder appointment, I had lots of good food, and I got to do a bunch of hobbies.

My day started with my shoulder appointment and a loose to-do list and ended up rather spontaneous. Firstly, my shoulder got all fucky wucky most likely from my bad posture (or so I was told), and the doctor immediately clocked that I was a #gamer, which I found pretty funny. I didn't even say much beyond my name and my symptoms and she asked "So do you hunch over a lot when you play video games?" I wonder what gave me away. I was wearing pretty normie clothes today. My taiyaki bag I guess?? Or maybe she's just seen so many gamers with fucked up shoulders she can recognize them by musculature? Either way, I was very tickled by it.

In short, my shoulder muscle was inflamed, and she gave me a cortisone injection and prescribed me some meds to take for the next week, so hopefully it'll stop aching. On the plus side, when they took my x-rays they said my bones were very healthy, which is always good news.

After that I picked up a package with my OHSHC poster that I ordered off of Ebay and then I had a delicious burger.

I love burger with egg. I really want to go back and have it again, it was so good.

Then I took the long trek over to my internship and dropped off the cards I wrote. Unfortunately the coworkers I was giving them to were in their respective sessions, so I didn't get to say hi, but they each texted me later saying they really appreciated them so I was more than happy with that. I know they're quitting soon, so I hope they find better workplaces.

That was the end of my to-do list, so I wasn't really sure what to do with myself after - I wanted to finish reading ルックバック since it had just been sitting on my desk the past month, but since it's in Japanese it takes a lot of concentration for me to get through it. In other words, it's hard for me to read at home because I get distracted easily there. I ended up deciding to go to a cafe and read my manga there in peace while looking up words I didn't know.

I ordered their "green potion" (it's a fantasy themed cafe) and it was like it was a flavor tailored just for me. Basically it was apple syrup with vanilla and some sparkling water for fizz, and the end result really did make me feel like I was regaining HP. Also it matched the skirt I wore today which is a fun bonus.

I finished ルックバック which mentally ruined me in the best way, and as I was sitting around processing it, this live band walked in?? And it began to get really noisy and overwhelming, so I left pretty soon after that. By that time I was hungry again so I tried going to my usual Chinese place for their spicy chicken, but they were closed for some reason. So I meandered over to Bento instead.

I think the universe is trying to be extra niceys to me because it turned out their chicken katsu was reduced price today for some random special, and that's my favorite thing to get there. So of course I couldn't resist ordering it.

It was soo perfect and crispy too. Just how I like it.

After that I went home and finished my OHSHC yuri art, and I've been feeling pretty content ever since. I guess this is what it's like to be relaxed and feeling balanced for once. My last Conversation Table meeting is tomorrow and we're celebrating with karaoke, and the day after I'm marathoning all the Lion King movies (minus the weird realistically animated ones) with some friends in preparation for the Broadway show next week, so there's more good things in store.

Also we pinged our roommate again to acknowledge our messages and still no response. Such a bewildering situation. But he'll have to answer at some point, like literally he has to or we're just going to keep pressing, so I'm sure an update will happen eventually.

I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow... maybe I'll go back and get another burger too.

[auxiliarydetective]

We've done it!

Or, more accurately, you've done it! Thanks to you, my fellow Tumblrinas, I've actually managed to hit 200 followers!

I never thought I would get this far, but I'm eternally grateful for all the love you've given me, and I can't wait to share many more brainrots with you!

In tune with that, I've decided: Why not let you look even further into my mind? I've given you lots of writing, but why not provide some visuals? And so, in thinking about what I wanted to do for my 200 followers celebration, I came up with...

⁕ Evie's Mind Palace Festival! ⁕

(Placing a cut so this doesn't get too long ^^)

As depicted in this lovely graphic above, I'm going to be focusing on my OCs' fashion for this little event. But not just that! I'll get to the bonuses later :)

For now, text version! Because Tumblr likes not loading images and some people may not be able to view the image

↬ Step 1: Pick an OC of your choice! From my OCs, that is. Hope that was clear. Anyone from the list. I'll even throw in a little bonus and say that unintroduced OCs are allowed! That means the ones on this list AND ones I may have rambled to to you in a chat we've had.

↬ Step 2: Pick an occasion prompt! The prompts are as follows:

Casual (aka everyday wear, aka their basic character design or an alternate outfit or it)

Formal

Training/Athletic

Battle (this may overlap with either 1. or 3. for some characters, but let's assume they actually get geared up for battle)

Hot weather (your typical summer clothes)

Cold weather (sweaters, winter coats, you name it)

Swimwear

Canon event (may overlap with some other categories, but I made this a separate thing for the lore opportunities it provides) - Make sure to specify what canon event you want!

Stealing clothes - You can include who the character should steal from in your ask, otherwise I will pick the victim myself.

Holiday-themed - Pick your holiday! Any holiday counts.

Fandombend - Pick your fandom! (This will probably come with some headcanons on what the OC would be like in the new fandom)

Inspired by a song - Please, pick a song! Preferably from the OC's playlist. I should have a playlist for almost every OC. Hop into the "#playlist" tag on my blog to find them and, if they're not posted over there anywhere, tap on any playlist that's there, let it take you to my Spotify profile, and hop into the "Character Playlists" folder!

↬ Step 3: If you want, pick an extra prompt! Your options are:

Historical - Please specify your time frame! You don't necessarily have to, but I tend to be an indecisive little gremlin, so it would make things a little easier if you could pick ^^"

Fantasy (This, of course, makes little sense if the OC is already in a fantasy setting)

Sci-fi (Once again, this makes little sense if the OC is already in a sci-fi setting)

Steampunk

Cultural - Please pick a culture for me to take inspiration from! It doesn't have to be a real-life culture. For example, you could pick Japan for some kimono art or you could pick the Kuja from One Piece!

Color prompt - Pick your color! I ask that you do keep it at one color so that I have some more freedom, and I won't take specific hex codes either because those specific hex codes might clash with the OC's color palette

Prompt of your choice - This can be literally anything! Yes, also an occasion, in which case it would replace your original occasion prompt. I just didn't have the space to add in all occasions known to man, so if you have another idea, this is where to put it.

↬ Step 4: Send your ask! Done!

Once you've sent your ask, please keep in mind that it might take me a while to answer it. I'll then make a collage/moodboard and get the ask posted. Maybe, I'll also draw your prompt, depending on if I have the energy and/or time for it. If I plan on doing that, I'll let you know in the post and tag you once I have the drawing finished! I may also be swayed into adding a little fic snippet to the answer, if I do feel so inclined. Maybe a song to match the vibes? It'll be a little surprise!

► Rules:

Be nice! It's not hard, and it's basically all I ask.

This is the one time you might not want to shower me in asks because these asks might take a bit to answer. I'm not putting a cap on how many asks per person you're allowed to send, just maybe be mindful of how long they take to answer and space them out over the time of the event.

I'll be accepting asks from the time that this is posted until March 17th. The event ends with the strike of midnight starting the next day. Whenever that may be in your time zone. As long as it's still 23:59 on March 17th somewhere around the world, send in your ask. I might also extend the event if asks keep coming in and I have the energy to keep going.

↬ Additional info for mutuals: You get to ask for crossovers! Just pick one of my OCs and one of yours and I'll try my best to draw them. I might bother you for references though, so be prepared! It doesn't matter how long we've been mutuals for! It could've been five minutes, you're still allowed to send in crossover asks. As long as we're mutuals, let's say, at the time that the ask is answered, it's all good. In practice, that means that you just need to be following me to be able to send in a crossover request. If you ask nicely and maybe say something about why you'd think why our two children would go well together and we share a fandom, it's very unlikely that I'll deny your request and won't follow you back.

Also, if you've ever wanted to say something about my OCs and/or me and my blog, this might be the perfect time for you to do it.

Okay, that's it for now! Love you, everyone! Here's to more fandom-y shenanigans!

Also, behold my new non-OC post divider! It features a lineart sketch of my blog icon in the middle! The icon was designed by @benevolenterrancy pretty much exactly two years ago when they realized my old icon was not, in fact, a unicorn. I still go full-on heart-eyes mode whenever I see my icon, so I figured it was time to remind everyone of the amazing artist that created it <3

Taglist: @starcrossedjedis @oneirataxia-girl @daughter-of-melpomene @fluffle-system @wheresmybloodynauglamir @supermarine-silvally @nanukanal @cody-helix02 (I believe this is the first time I've ever used my full taglist, aka the basic taglist plus everyone from fandom-specific taglists - wowie!) - Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed, for specific fandoms or the general list!

For You | Brad Simpson pt 3.

Summary | You and Brad have been together for almost a year, you both are happy together. You are even going on tour with Brad and the other boys and you couldn't be more happy, but ever since you got those hate messages from some "fans" you try your hardest to stay happy and not ruin the tour for Brad and the boys.

Words | 1.42k

pairings | brad simpson x fem reader

warning | kissing, mature themes, arguing

Brad has been really on the edge lately, everytime any of our phones rings he gets nervous. I had never seen him like this before.

“B, is everything okay?” I asked.

“Yeah, why wouldn't it be?” He asked, getting ready. “Come on or we are going to miss the Uber.” He said waiting by the door.

I got out of my thoughts and put a smile on my face. I know something is bothering him, but I won't ruin this day. I just hope whatever it is he will come and talk to me, I want him to know that I'm there for him. We are heading out to explore Paris, this is my first time going to Paris and I'm excited. It was amazing. We went and walked around for a bit, then went to this beautiful museum which was breathtaking. Of course Brad had a little encounter with some fans, but I don't mind at all, I love seeing him taking pictures with fans and talking to them.

“Can I take a picture with you, if you don't mind?” A girl came up to me. Of course I wouldn't say no so one of her friends took our picture for her.

“Thank you so much.” She said, I gave her a hug and walked back to Brad still chatting with his fans.

“I wonder if she knows about what happened in Italy.” I heard a girl say, as I was about to turn around Brad grabbed me softly.

“Sorry, but we have to go.” He said and we walked out of the museum.

I can't stop thinking of what that girl said, maybe she was talking about something personal and I just overheard her, and wasn't supposed to. We made it to the eiffel tower for dinner and it was just the best amazing night of my life.

“This is so beautiful, thank you for a great night.” I said.

“Anything for you.” He said. “I'll be right back.”

Once he left my phone buzzed and I picked it up, I noticed I was tagged in a photo I took with a fan earlier. I liked it and commented with a heart. I read some of the comments, a few said she is so beautiful, some said how lucky the girl was in meeting me. But there was one that caught my eye.

“I wonder if she knows what happened in Italy?”

Earlier I heard a fan saying something like that. Brad came back to the table and I put my phone down.

“What happened in Italy?” I blurted out.

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“Earlier I heard a fan asking another fan if i knew what happened in Italy, and then another fan, maybe could be the same one I don't know commenting on a photo I was tagged in saying the same thing. So what happened in Italy?” I asked.

“Nothing.” He said, scratching the back of his neck. When he does that he is either really nervous or lying.

“Clearly something happened.” I said.

“Come on y/n nothing happened just drop it okay, let's enjoy tonight.” He said.

The whole night, I was in my head thinking of what happened that night in Italy… Did he cheat on me? Why am I thinking of such a thing like that? I know Brad would never do that ever. Maybe the fans are trying to make me think otherwise. We got back to our hotel room, still not saying a word to each other. I get in and walk to the bathroom to get into my pj's and wash my makeup off. Once I was finished Brad walked in and started the bath.

“Care to join?” He asked. 

“No, I think I'm going to bed.” I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

I get in bed and place my phone on the side table and turn around. Still thinking about the Italy comment. I got up and told Brad that I needed to see Kirstie and that I'll be right back. I knocked on her hotel door and she opened it and greeted me.

“Hey y/n come in.”

I walked in looking around to see if James was around which he wasn't. Maybe Kirstie will know about what happened in Italy, she was there.

“That night in Italy, do you know what happened?” I asked. 

“I don't think it's my business to say, but I overheard James, and the others talking about it. All I know is there is a video or picture going out about Brad.” She said.

I unlocked my phone and searched through instagram and Twitter looking for this video or whatever. I couldn't find anything so I decided to text that girl that made that comment. She quickly responded with the video everyone was talking about. Once I watched, I became furious, not because of the video I could care less about it. I'm just mad and disappointed at Brad not telling me or warning me about it. I had to find out from his fans. I walked back to our room and stormed in.

“When were you going to tell me about this?” I asked, handing him the phone, he grabs it and his eyes widen.

“We were trying to get rid of the video, so you wouldn't find out.” He said.

“Why would you hide this from me? I could care less about the stupid video, I'm just disappointed you didn't tell me.” I said.

“Like you didn't tell me about the fans' rude comments.” He shot back.

“Wow, so this is my fault? The reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't want you to get upset while on tour, but since this is my fault I'll leave.” I said grabbing my stuff to pack up.

“Y/n I didn't mean it.”

“Please, I don't want you to leave, I kept it a secret, because I didn't want you to think I cheated on you.” He cried.

“Why would I think that? I know you're not like that at all, but keeping it from me isn't fair.” I said, stuffing my clothes in the suitcase.

“I know but I didn't want you to think so. Besides, you kept something from me as well.” He said.

“Let's just forget about it all, move past both of our mistakes.” He said.

“Tell me this first, were you ever going to tell me about it?” I asked.

“Maybe, well eventually.” He said.

“Please don't go, let's talk more about it in the morning.” He said.

I agreed and we laid down. He wrapped his arms around me and went to sleep. Me on the other hand I was hide awake

 Thinking about the video and why he just didn't trust me in knowing what happened. I'm angry that he thinks I would trust him. I will always trust him, but holding that in for months made me sad that everyone in the whole world knew except for me. I got up and grabbed my suitcase. I wrote him a note explaining that I'm going home to clear my head. I looked back at Brad sleeping peacefully, tears started to pour out. Am I doing the right thing for us, giving us some space? He did say he needed space, maybe it's good for us.

***

I went to reach for y/n but she wasn't in bed, maybe she's in the bathroom.

“Y/n.”

No response. I get up and walk to the door. I noticed a note on the door. I opened it and read…

Dear Brad,

I'm sorry, but I needed to go home and clear my head, maybe you're right maybe we do need a break. I hate that I chose to leave while you're on tour, but maybe it's for the best. In a few weeks you will be home and we can talk about how we feel for each other.

Just know that I will always cheer for you just know I love you B. <3

Yours truly y/n x

I have to go after her, I can't let her go. I called an Uber and purchased a ticket home. I don't care about the tour right now, all I care about is y/n.

[yoonia]

Hi yoonia I was wondering how you come up with titles for your fanfics I struggle with that

Hello, lovely! I'm so sorry for replying so late!

I have to be honest that I've struggled with titles too. Sometimes I won't know what to call my story until the very last end when I'm about to post lol. I do have a few different ways to find my titles when I need them which might be helpful to try:

Pick from a song title/lyrics

I usually listen to music while I'm writing, so more often than not, I'll get inspired to write a story or get the perfect vibe for my fic from a certain song. When it happens, I would 'borrow' from the song that becomes the fic's music companion or take a part of its lyrics (that's fitting for the theme of the fic) as its title.

You can do this by choosing from a song that may have the same theme as your fic, even if you're not using it as the story's music companion/soundtrack.

Quote from your story

This happens when the title comes AFTER the fic is done or, at the very least, once the storyboarding process is finished. There could be something in the latter part of your story that you can use, whether it's a phrase, a word, maybe from a dialogue between the two characters or something mentioned in a scene, anything that gets the reader to feel like a "roll the credits" moment when they finally get to that part later on.

An altered version of a famous phrase

You might have seen this done before with other stories, even with published books. Find a famous phrase that you like which might sound perfect for your fic, then make your own twist with it by changing a keyword or two that may perfectly describe your fic.

For example: famous phrase: Once upon a time altered version (1): Once Upon An Us (for a story focusing on the characters' relationship) altered version (2): Once Upon A Fantasy (for a series/collab with a fantasy theme)

Use thesaurus as your cheat sheet

I'm sure it's an open secret that I use thesaurus a lot on the side as I write. Feeling stuck with an alternate word to replace something you've repeatedly wrote? Find the options in the thesaurus/dictionary. It's really helpful, I promise. And it's also helpful when you're looking for a one word title that would be impactful enough for your fic to grab your readers' attention.

The key is to choose the right word to describe your story. You can associate that word either with the theme, the general story idea, or even the vibe of your fic. Or you can even use it to describe your character.

Another helpful cheat sheet: book title generator by Reedsy

As explained on the subtitle, this is the ultimate cheat sheet that I use to find ideas for my titles. Reedsy is a helpful website for writers which provides guides and tips in writing. This generator is something that I've used previously, although I'd usually still alter the result by changing a keyword or two so I won't be using the title they generated from their program point blank (I'm assuming it's AI, which is why I'd hate to copy word for word or straight from the result).

If you don't want to use the automatic generator to get you a title for your fic, you can scroll down to read and follow the guide they added in the page to choose the right title for your story.

I hope this is helpful!

hii from the emoji ask game you posted I’d love to know

🙌What's a line or paragraph of yours that you're proud of?

🥘What wip are you most excited about?

thank youuu ☺️

Ahhhh thank you for the ask!!!! Soooo excited to talk about my fics ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This got a little out of hand so I'm putting it under the cut

🙌 that's a hard one!!! But looking back through my fics, I think it's probably this passage from chapter 1 of Hungry Work:

"Gene, as a rule, calls everyone by their last name unless he gets called to help them. Only then does he call them by the same name their friends and families do, as he tries to keep them calm, stop the bleeding, save their life.

Each time, it’s like cutting open his own chest, pouring out all the care he has for them and then trying to stuff it back inside when they get taken away, either to the aid station, back to their foxhole or back to God."

It takes me right back to what drew me to Gene as a character in the first place, how he's right there when someone needs him, but often alone in the aftermath once he's done and doesn't have anyone to comfort him in turn. I am sooo obsessed with him it's not even funny!

🥘 As for the WIP I'm most excited about....I could be lame and say it's Hungry Work because it just deals with so many themes I'm obsessed about, but since that one's almost finished, I'll pick something else!

In addition to the Hungry Work Post-War sequel I've been yapping about today (loved your tags on that btw!!!! Legit squealed when I saw your reblog), there's a second post-war Baberoe fic I've been writing on and off, based on a very early ending I had in mind for Hungry Work but discarded - the premise is that Gene and Babe get together in Europe, but while they're in Austria, Gene gets spooked by someone else getting a blue slip and breaks up with Babe to "protect him". Since Babe's bisexual in this (as he is in Hungry Work), Gene figures he can just get with a woman and forget all about Gene. Of course, that backfires spectacularly, because 1. Bisexuality just doesn't work like that and 2. Babe's already in love, and so he goes back to Philly all heart broken and miserable and gets into some real trouble there, which means he has to leave Philly for a bit. Cue them pining for each other AGAIN but back in the US across various state lines. I think it'll be a while before that comes out and there will probably be at least one other fic coming out beforehand, but I've been excited about writing some Babe&Bill friendship and some other Easy Company interactions as well. And of course, endless yearning 😬 The WIP Document is called "It ain't me Babe" inspired by the Bob Dylan song of the same name:

I already posted some snippets of that WIP here, but here's one more:

It’s another Friday night, and Babe’s drunker than usual. It had been kind of a shit day, from the moment he woke hours before his alarm from a nightmare that had started with him and Gene kissing and ended with Babe covered in Gene’s blood. It had been raining the whole day while Babe was out at the docks, and at dinner, his mother had nagged him about finding a girl, settling down.

So things are already a little blurry around the edges when Babe sees him. There’s a shock of black hair, stark against the washed out colors around it. White skin below it, a slender frame. Babe’s heart starts beating erratically in his chest and he stops listening to Bill’s yapping. He follows the man around the bar with his eyes, tries to catch a glimpse of his face.

Logically, Babe knows it can’t be who he’s thinking of. Philly’s a long way from Louisiana, and besides, why would he come here, of all places? But he has to know, so he stands up, heads over with unsteady legs. He puts a hand on the guy’s shoulder. When he turns around, Babe’s heart falls. Of course it isn’t him.

I finished my mini of Iron Man tonight which means I've now painted every character in both Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Sets. A few years apart, with a lot of practice in between.

Proof that Tony Stark looks cooler in shiny gold. Don't know why I made the OG corset version of him so muted. Second most improved sculpt between versions of a character, I'll save the best for last but to save time wow the original MCP Avengers line up sure are standing with one hand forward and one hand to the side/back. You'll see on the following slides, Captain Marvel is the best posed of them.

See below for a bunch more of two similar dudes stood next to one another

Star Spangled Man. I made the first one vibrant so to compensate I made the new version of Cap dull and dark. He's got the Ultimate Captain America colours now. And a tactical rock. As far as I'm concerned, thats America's rock.

I did a poor job on the first Black Widow model and I didn't know she came in white but I liked the idea of the palette swap. Plus I wanted to practice painting white better. I can't believe she's killing Tony Stark.

Darol Canvers. I Wanted to give the other Captain Marvel a more Ms Marvel look. Plus I keep seeing Antares from Ward on my dash so I had black and gold on my mind. I kinda like how my first one came out but every so often I look at her chest and she looks as emaciated as a Xenomorph. Or Sil from Species.

Trying to paint the Spectacular Spider Man as Spider Man 3 taught me a valuable lesson. Never try and start with white and pick out the top parts in black. Slow, painful, and it didn't even really work out well. On to the villains.

The Red Skull from the OG core set is a nice recreation of his Captain America the First Avenger costume and part of why I love MCP because this officious greatcoat and other serious mcp pouch and line laden costumes are sharing a game space with much goofier comic booky designs. Anyway, Red Skull's new core set version is much more excited to show off his cube. First sculpt is more passive but I think that works to its benefit, makes it stand out amongst dynamic hero poses.

Baron Zemo has the best costume here. I didn't do his jacket too well but the bomber jacket just goes so well with the rest. His pose lulls the opponent into a false sense of security before they read his card and realise that he can clear half the board and back in one turn. New Zemo has more momentum but doesn't slay as hard. I tried non-metallic metals on his sword, need to practice that more.

Bane is my all-time favourite Batman villain. With the original one I wanted to try and mix the colour scheme of Tom Hardy's Bane with the glowing veins of the Arkham games and many other Banes. The newer Bane sculpt is more quiet and cerebral, gun discarded while he contemplates his foe and makes a show of muscle. Accordingly, he's themed after the softer spoken Bane of Batman the Animated series.

Ultron and Doctor Doom. Neither of these are Iron Man villains but they are metal so they do frequently appear across from him in board games, video games etc. Ultron was meant to be styled like he is in the movie but I don't think it came out that well. Nice pose, not much action to him tho. Doctor Doom has a calmer pose but the thrust and cape sell him better. Surprisingly the least changed character design between core boxes tho I'd say.

Doctor Octopus is my least favourite sculpt in the original Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set. Stood stock still. Arms folded. Those tentacles don't convey much either beyond wiggling I botched his colours bad and just drybrushed Leadbelcher for the tentacles. To compensate I laboured over the new Doc Ock, the sculptors and manufacturers deserve praise, I'll buy em a pint if I ever meet em. Best sculpt in the new core set. The elevation. The greatcoat that calls back to Alfred Molina but slides atop comic booky spandex. I gave him plum hair to distinguish it from the jacket more, I think it makes him look a lil fruity.

20 questions for fic writers

thank you @emryses for tagging me!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

12.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

240,148

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I've only written Stranger Things so far.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Steve Harrington. Are you kidding me? Temptation Heat, Beats Like a Drum. Happy Valentine's Day, Big Boy. This is the coin I had in my pocket the first time we kissed and I always have it. And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I try to at least reply with something so people know I saw their comment and appreciate it.

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

I'm a happy ending girlie, honestly. (I also have a lot of WIPs so they don't have an ending yet.)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

As far as actually finished fics goes, probably Steve Harrington Are you kidding me.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten a few comments here and there that weren't the nicest or could have probably been left off. But mostly I've gotten good feedback.

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

I do! I always convince myself it's not very good but it's fun to write! And I really just write whatever fits the story? I don't think I really have anything I particularly favor.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I have not. I don't usually read crossovers either.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I haven't!

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

No I haven't but I am in awe of people who can do that. That seems so difficult to me.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I think Steddie is always going to be top dog for me, honestly. I've read fics for such a long time but Steddie is the first that got to me enough that I actually started creating things for it as well. And the brainrot is still going strong.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I honestly plan on finishing all my abandoned WIPs at this time!! I guess if I had to pick it would probably be Coin just because it's the one I've struggled the most with. But I'm hoping to come back to it still!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Oh man. That's a tough one. I think...character voice. I think I do a pretty good job of grasping a character and sticking as closely to what feels most like them at least, in my mind.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Honestly I think just my own confidence and need for external validation. I wish I could just write for myself and enjoy it regardless of how well something does. I also just really struggle with writing in longer bits. I tend to write in little snippets and pieces ad it takes so long to get anywhere that way.

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

I don't think I would ever try. I don't speak any other language and trying to master the nuance of speaking in one while relying on like...google translate just doesn't sound like it would go well.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Stranger Things! Steddie was my first dive into writing fanfic at all.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I am so incredibly proud of And You May Find Yourself. I stepped outside my comfort zone a lot for this fic all the way from the themes to just actually reaching out and being more a part of the Steddie community. I've made some great friends through the process and have signed up to be a part of way more than I originally planned on when I decided to so the Steddie Big Bang. I still have two chapters to write for this one and although I'm really looking forward to it finally being done I'll absolutely miss the version of these characters I created for this go around. I hope people love them as much as I do.

Meet the Creators - RiverLethe

What username(s) and platform(s) can folx find you on? (Please include links!)

@riverlethe - I am on Tumblr and Ao3!

(Fun Fact) What is your favorite kind of potato?

Yes. If it is a potato, I will eat it (except for mayo-based potato salads - no thanks), and my preference absolutely depends on mood, but if I had to pick one.... Have you ever tried Chef John's Potatoes Romanoff? If the answer is no, go fix that right now! (add in crisped up pancetta before baking - you're welcome)

How long have you been creating works in fandom spaces? How long have you been active in the SM fandom?

If reading fanfic counts as being active in the fandom, I've been active, on and off, for a little over 20 years, but I didn't actually start writing fanfic until 2 years ago.

What type(s) of creative works do you usually make? (fanfics, digital art, cosplay)

Fanfics are my #1 contribution, but I also crochet. I made @linlamont's Sailor Rex plush based on her amazing artwork for her adorable story "Treasures", and I am currently working on a custom Sailor Rex for my 6 yo daughter. There are plans for a Tuxedo Rex and Tuxedo Kamen

What do you enjoy about creating for the SM fandom?

I love the sense of community and making friends within the fandom. Discussing and theorizing all things Sailor Moon is one of my favorite things! Plus, there is just so much to explore, both in canon and fanon

Are you strictly UsaMamo or do you create for other pairings as well?

I wrote a Kunz/Venus fic for Heavenly Pearl's/@kaleidodreams' first ever Rare Pair week, but I otherwise exclusively write for UsaMamo. Who knows, maybe I'll be inspired to create for another ship in the future. Never say never!

What inspires you to create works for Usagi and Mamoru?

The emotions! Everything these kids go through is dark, scary, intense, etc etc, and I love to explore how it affected them, how they're feeling in the moment, and how Usagi and Mamoru support each other through it.

Do you tend to work on multiple projects (WIPs) simultaneously or try to finish one at a time?

Ideally, I would work on one WIP at a time, but with my ongoing story Once More, with Feeling!, I always have multiple going on. While I normally don't mind putting OMwF aside for a OS or two, I haven't updated it in almost a year, which I feel really bad about, so I am trying to put any new ideas on hold right now so I can get Chapter 13 done. OMwF will eventually update, I promise!

Do you prefer large projects (chaptered fics, webtoons/zines, highly detailed art) or small projects (one-shots or simple art)?

I love how much of a story can be explored and fleshed out in a chaptered fic, but, for fans, they can be daunting to start reading if you aren't there from the very beginning (depending on length), and there is always that ever present nemesis: time. As a writer, I like the regular engagement with the community that posting new chapters allows, but writing as I go can be very stressful, especially when motivation just isn't striking. For OSs, I love that ability to focus on one small part of the characters' lives without needing to generate a lot of backstory or lore. Will I do another Chaptered fic once OMwF is finished? Probably, I do want to continue into R, but I will hopefully take everything I've learned working on OMwF (it's my very first ever fanfic!) into the sequel so I'm a little more prepared.

Are there any common themes, situations, tropes, or mediums in your work?

Angst and Romance are probably the most common as I love the emotional impact the angst imparts and how Usagi and Mamoru support each other through it. Honestly, I find the original anime (and the manga to a lesser extent) a bit emotionally stunted, so I absolutely love fics that elicit emotions, in me, either happy, sad or anything in between!, and I strive to do that for my readers. With any luck, I succeeded!

Is there anything you haven’t explored artistically and would like to try?

If I could draw, I would totally do art. I am in awe of what artists can create through their medium and would love to be able to visually see what so many of us use words to describe, but, alas, I'll stick to crocheted dinosaurs with odangos! Regarding writing, I have more OSs in mind for stories and ideas I haven't explored yet, and maybe I'll actually learn some restraint and create chaptered fics that aren't 12+ chapters long at 5k-12k words each. Anything is possible! (Except for me and art. Not gonna happen)

WAAHHH SOL ALSO AN INFINITY NIKKI PLAYYERR HAIAIIIII HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW BANNER bc I oove the ability but it is NOT in my budget to get a five star rn fml, even if the 4* dress is also rlly pretty

The new four free outfits are ADORABLE though

not having the budget for another 5* is way too real. The current 5* banners beat me up into a pulp on the sidewalk pavement.

I'm excited for the new free outfits too! Especially the jeans and casual wear oh my god we need more of them if I want my infinity nikki cosplays to be accurate.

Idk about the new 5*star outfit like..

It's very beautiful and intricate, but that's really all. The bare minimum. A lot of 5* dresses are very beautiful and intricate. It's a double-edged sword tho, these pieces seem to complete each other, fitting like a puzzle piece, so missing a single one might throw the whole outfit off, and they won't be versatile enough to use in other outfits.

The niche gimmick of this one is the whole spinning doll atop the music box theme, and for the select few who are into that and ballet, it must pierce like a cupid arrow through the heart.

For me, I'm camp knight Nikki, I will always dripple at the sight of a good shiny suit of armour. My itch has been scratched by the recent 4* midnight vigil. But that's more of a decorative british royal palace guard than an actual Knight going to battle—those shorts scream european. So my appetite is still not sated. (let me tell you I wanted to strangle Giroda and Marques when THEY got the knight outfit and sword whilst Nikki is stuck with this kingdom hearts ass looking toysword)

But by Thor's balls... Momo's new outfit is fucking goated.

I want it so bad, I want to put a silly little clown nose on his stupid little nose. But I can't, I must resist. It takes 100+ pulls for the momo fit alone.

I like the hair tho, if I'm gonna throw 50 pulls this banner's way for the makeup kit, it will 100% go towards the hair. So rare to see nice curly hair in dress up games, even if the whole fit is giving Mary had a little lamb.

But that can quickly turn into a slippery slope of "oh, I already used 50 pulls. What's 50 pulls more for the momo cloak?"

Maybe I'll just do 10, or more preferably: zero pulls. I hope it's Sweet attribute so I can skip it with a sound mind. If it's Cool attribute, I'm fucked. That's the only one I'm missing. (The crane fit was FUGLY can you blame me)

Thankfully, the new 4* coming with the banner is meh—I mean they are beautiful, but again, that's the bare minimum—The boa is nice looking, but I already have the superior one from the first set of 4* banners. The hair is gorgeous tbh.

So many gowns, and no balls, not even a single ball to be found.

One thing I'm slightly annoyed by is how cool of a purification outfit the new 5* is. It seems really useful, too, with the animal tranquiliser side effects that put them to sleep so they don't run away. Yes, I did pick crystal poems as my first standard banner outfit, how did you guess? Yes, I'm salty over being meta drafted so soon. Either way, it was bound to happen eventually.

But seriously I went all out on the current 5* banners, better just to save. As much as I love the dresses and aesthetics, I'm lowkey a bit of a metaslave. The fireworks outfit had a higher elegance score than the free Miracle outfit so I caved in.

I can't wait until they update the interactive map with the chests. I already got most of the dews of inspiration. Finished the second miracle outfit. Evolved and glowed up full 5* star outfits for all the main attributes (except cool obvi) and fullstaring mirror crown is now easy peasy lemon squeezy. My current goal is to craft all their makeup + momo clacks. Afterwards, I aim to fully unlock all of the heart of infinity nodes.

I'm playing kingdom come deliverance on the side btw, really hilarious switching between these two protagonists with contrasting fashion.

NPCs keep telling me off for dressing "inappropriately" in the streets and ngl i genuinely don't know what's wrong with the way I'm dressing. That's all I can afford. I know I'm missing a tunic and basically walking around in the underarmour padding to what medieval people consider underwear BUT IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULDN'T BE. The cheapest tunic is 2k and I have 150 gold pieces to my name. 50 of which are stolen. Also i.cant read im a peasent boy that can't read pls help. Nikki come visit me in Rattay please give me some outfits, I'll wear a ballgown dress, actually put Hans in a ballgown outfit too.
