Tumblr media
Agnes "Nes" Sigrún 🌑RO: James Corvin
Personality: sincerity // cautious // friendly // merciful Traits: heart // compliance // believer Past affinity: writing [horror stories] Primary ability: empathetic impressions Past susceptibility: receptive
Tumblr media
☀️Fernweh: She never really thought about leaving Fernweh… It was her place, near her family and friend(s). She felt good there and assumed she’s gonna spend her whole life happily in this little town. Even if Fernweh brings back devastating memories, she’s curious about what’s happening in Fernweh now, in her true home. It’s always been her dream to work in Turn The Page, and during her ‘short’ stay in Fernweh, she started thinking about it again. Why not stay for longer…? She would love to carry on her grandfather’s work and bring his legacy justice. 
☀️Grandpa Jóhann: When she was young, she had an amazing relationship with her grandpa. They were completely honest with each other, and she loved him wholeheartedly. Some people thought that making her grandpa proud was her main hobby. She used to tell him all about her dreams that she had, which were always wild... and also about the nightmares… It took her by surprise when her grandpa, one of the most important people in her life, started being less involved. She was hurt and began to wonder if she had done something to cause the distance between them. His decision to move her out of Fernweh so quickly after this tragic event made a huge impact on her mental state. She needed time to cope and be with her closest ones, especially her grandpa...but after all she didn't blame him. She often heard that she looked exactly like her mother…like her grandpa's daughter... She assumed he could not look at her, without thinking about her... And she could not blame him for wanting to escape that pain. Agnes knew it was the best thing that her grandpa could do for him, and she accepted it, too eagerly. She always too eagerly took the blame for everything.
☀️Beckett Warrick: After what happened in Fernweh after James she had even more trouble interacting with other people and making new friends… However, Beckett was an exception. He was the first person who got to truly know her after the events in Fernweh. When she got the letter about her Grandpa, she considered hiding the truth from him, because she knew deep down that he would be there for her if she needed him… even if he would not particularly enjoy it. It's a good thing she’s such a bad liar… Her main concern is about Beckett’s well-being. She noticed that this 'little' trip made a huge impact on him. He wasn’t supposed to be here, and it’s because of her that he–... She needs to make sure that nothing happens to her friend. And she will somehow manage to bring him back to his home.
☀️Reese Verner: They had an unconventional relationship. Reese saw her as a rival, while Agnes thought of him as a friend. She was confused about why Verner, someone of great importance, would even look at her see her as a rival. She knew there were better candidates for his games. She had only one question on her mind - “why?”. Despite Verner's playful teasing, Agnes always remained polite and friendly towards him, even when he attempted to push her boundaries. Girl knew how to keep her true feelings behind a warm smile she still does. If I can be completely honest… Agnes was rather shocked that Reese still remembered her… and was actually looking for her, which sounded so unbelievably. His concern for Milton's well-being made her see him in a slightly different light. Of course, she already knew Reese had a good heart, but his behaviour really touched her. Additionally, Agnes noticed that Reese and James’ relationship became stronger and deeper… It’s for the best. James deserves someone as dependable as Reese. He will always be there for James. 
☀️Sofia Dorran: Their bond was formed over a shared admiration for books and... the color blue. It may sound funny now, but these things became central to their lives and deepened their friendship. Sofia was the first person Agnes entrusted with her writing, and valued her honest feedback, knowing that Sofia would not make her feel bad if something needed improvement. They frequently borrowed books from each other's collections. Agnes yearned for the days when she and Sofia had reading sessions together, sipping on their favorite beverage. The only issue back then was when the book ended poorly or their library didn't have any new positions for them to read. She's willing to know how Sofia's taste toward books shifted (if shifted) and how she changed as a person. She's also extremely grateful because her grandfather received constant care from Sofia and her mother.
🌑James Corvin: …Do I really need to tell you that James was her first crush? And that she never found the courage to tell him so? maybe now will be the time? Agnes and James were always together, wherever one went the other followed. They were inseparable. Agnes even used to bake oatmeal cookies for James with her mother's help. They dreamed of their idyllic life together. As friends, obviously. Seeing him again after all those years was much harder than she anticipated. Agnes felt overwhelmed with stress from the moment she stepped out of her car. Every time she heard his surname, she unknowingly flinched. Her mind was full of questions about his well-being, life, and changes. She couldn't help but wonder if he would be happy to see her. …she did manage to hold his hand for a moment, I can consider it as a success
☀️Alex Corvin: Agnes has always looked up to Alex for their adventurous spirit and their willingness to embrace life to the fullest. She has always wanted to adopt a bit of Alex' wild side. Whenever they are around, boredom and dullness seem to disappear. They both share similar values and support each other's life goals. If I would say which person Agnes was the most willing to meet during her stay in Fernweh that would be Alex. She was confident in their friendliness towards everybody and was sure that their kindness had not wavered. Agnes was touched when she heard that Alex was looking after her grandfather's bookstore… It appears that Beckett has a new admirer, which Agnes wholeheartedly approves of.
☀️Mal: Agnes has a sense that Mal might be suspicious, but she is quite naive and doesn't believe that he could mean trouble. Although she is wary of him and finds him a little untrustworthy, Agnes believes in being kind to everyone, and she is willing to give Mal a chance, not judging him by her own impressions of him.
☀️Goldie: Agnes is grateful that her grandfather had a furry companion like Goldie, who probably managed to brighten his spirits. She fondly recalls how her grandfather would tell her stories when he once had a dog, when he was younger and how his eyes would light up with joy as he shared his story. Agnes is committed to taking excellent care of Goldie and ensuring her safety.
#don't get me started how she is BLAMING herself for the situation Beckett is rn. she needs to go back for her theraphy sesions right away#that's why she went with him into the woods looking for Milton and not James even so she wanted to spent every single second with him :sob:#she's conflicted. being with James is something that she dreamed of but in her opinion he deserves someone better //obviously//#...that's why she's cheering for James and Reese lol. Look she just wants James and Reese to be happy and she can see how those two care of#-each other. She's happy : )#she's an idiot 🙂#is there a potential happy ending for the three of them..? maybeeee. we'll see what the story will bring 👀#im totally confident that Sofia and Agnes had their own shared little library#Agnes wrote a poem for James when she was young but it wasn't really her forte. that's why she showed it to Sofia because she knew she will#-help her. //Agnes didn't want to tell for who it was but Sofia figured it out anyway. they both knew that the other knew but weren't-#-talking about it out loud. XD it was hilarious -- for me and I assume Sofia but Agnes was terrified. XDD//#....cough James never saw this poem anyway cough...#I have this headcanon that Agnes made up amazing horror stories that James was willing to hear (for a bunch of oatmeal cookies) when-#-they had a sleepover //those stories were from her nightmares but she never said that to James knowing he would only worry about her//#btw her parents called her 'little star' and James must have heard it and (maybe?) asked Sofia to make a necklace... Sun and Moon.#did you know that Agnes had her piece of the Sun as her necklace for the WHOLE TIME. but she hid it away under shirt... x"D she was looking#-if James had his Moon somewhere... but she did not see it. anyway she wears it always.#omg i finally made it. there's also one in my drafts nearly finished and three more to go. XD#sooo curious about book two <3#fernweh saga#my art?#Spotify#oc: agnes sigrun

Boyfriend!Choso♡
Tumblr media
Pairing: Choso x Gn!reader
Content: Fluff, sfw, no use of y/n or pronouns, readers appearance isnt mentioned, talk of marriage, sooo many cuddles, Choso's love language is acts of service, mentions of skin picking from anxiety, John wick movies mentioned lol
Word count: 3.5k
(a.n) I wrote this bcs I miss him sm, I shed a few tears while writing this btw. He's my pookie bear. finally putting my endless amount of books of love poems to work! I wrote this while listening to 'We'll Never Have Sex- Leith Ross' if u were curious:3
When I think about Choso as your boyfriend, I picture him being so gentle and delicate whenever it comes to you. Always a small sweet smile on his lips whenever he did something for you. As small as it was- all he needed was a simple “Awe, thank you Cho.” from you and a kiss on his cheek and he was set for the day. If you were studying for your college final, he’s the kind of person to bring you a warm cup of fresh coffee, “Careful-” he’d urge, seeing your hand reach for it. “It's hot.” Warning you, even if he was holding it from the bottom before he came to give it to you. I see Choso adoring kisses from you. Small pecks on his cheek or his forehead. In his mind it was your way to say thank you, even if it wasn't needed. But he loved how his chest swelled when you'd say, “Oh, Choso. You're so sweet.” your hand going to your chest and your eyebrows pinched together. Early in your relationship Choso noticed how much he liked hearing you praise him. Even if it was a quiet “Thank You.” followed by a warm smile. He liked knowing that you enjoyed his acts of service. It was his form of showing affection, thinking that he wasn't good with his words. And feeling like hugs and kisses weren't enough to make you feel his love. The best way Choso could describe it is wanting you to keep him in your pocket, when you commented that to him he liked the idea so much that it got stuck in his head. The idea of him living in your pocket so he was always with you, always there in case you needed a warm hug. He liked seeing your face light up when you came home from work after having a bad day. Only needing to see him in order to feel better. It also helped that he always greeted you by the door with a warm smile on his lips. Always taking your coat off for you, and asking how your day was.
Choso feels things so deeply, even mentioning the day you might break up made him nervous. Making his hands clammy and his eyebrows furrow. “If I tell you this, you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone.” You tell him, the two of you sitting faces inches apart, legs criss crossed like two children sharing secrets. He opened his mouth to talk, his hand going to his chest and laying flat against his oversized white t-shirt. “I promise, I will never tell anyone.” serious look on his face as he vowed to you. “Cho, I'm serious, even if one day you hate me- you cannot tell a soul.” you smiled, seeing Choso’s eyebrows furrow. “I would never hate you. Never in my life will I ever hate you-” he promised, his hand reaching down to hold yours as his eyes went wide with worry. “And if one day I tell you that I do- that is not me.” he smiled. Making you laugh as you clutched his hand. Smiling before leaning in to kiss his forehead, Choso’s eyes blinking shut as his cheeks turned warm. Pulling away and looking at his now calm eyes, “Okay-” you smiled, before pulling his head to your lips and whispering in his ear. 
I think the way Choso loves is pure and unconditionally. The kind of love that was shown by his actions rather than his words. Like when you cut your finger while mincing some vegetables for lunch. Choso would wipe it gently with hydrogen peroxide. Wincing with you as though he felt the sting on your finger. Mumbles of “You have to be careful.” as he wrapped it delicately. Placing a gentle kiss on the bandage before cleaning up. Any time he saw a bruise on your calf, he hissed as his fingers pressed it. “Where'd that come from?” he asked, his voice pained as he rubbed it gently. “No idea. Didn't even know it was there.” you smiled, feeling him press a soft kiss to it. To Choso, all wounds and bruises are healed with kisses. He knew that if you treated something with love and care, it would heal quicker. His theory made you smile as he swore that it was true. Remembering his theory when you'd hold his hands, your soft fingers examining his calloused ones as he watched a show you had put on. Almost feeling the pain in your own hands when you saw the sides of his fingertips bright pink. Small scabs forming at the sides of his fingernails, sharp pain in your heart as your eyes scanned them. Knowing he picked at the skin anytime he got anxious. Choso turned his head to look at you to see what was wrong. Seeing your saddened eyes on his fingers. Lifting them up and placing kisses to the tips of them one by one. Your eyes closed as he felt his heart swell.
The way Choso loves is an adoration only seen in movies. The kind of love that teenage girls write about in their diaries. The kind of love that no matter what you've gone through, he will stay by your side. Feet planted to the ground and arm wrapped around you. The kind of man who would defend your actions- no matter if they're wrong, with an iron fist. The kind of love where if you were lost at sea, he'd sail through the endless salt water till he found you. Love so pure, you were unsure of it at first. Only ever seeing this kind of love in movies and tv shows. But he assured you quickly, this wasn't any movie or tv show. His warm hands on your face always reminded you of that. You'd close your eyes and feel him kiss your cheeks, placing one onto your brow bone, onto the bridge of your nose. However many kisses it took to make sure you knew that this wasn't some fairytale. Choso would get tears in his eyes when he heard you speak about the trials you were put through growing up. Crumbling completely at your words, hearing your voice started to shake and your eyes turned red with tears. Not being able to understand how anyone could hurt you. To him you were precious. Even thinking about the tears you’ve shed over your pain, made him sad. He never understood how people could be so cruel, especially to you. He hated seeing you sad. He hated seeing you in bed all day, he hated seeing you pick at your food. Choso hated seeing your lips chapped and cracking while you tried to assure him that you were okay with a smile. He is such an empath when it comes to you, always trying his hardest to cheer you up. 
Choso’s favorite moments with you were the ones where he would hold you close. Slow dancing in the living room by candle light when the lights went out. Violent rain and thunder outside as he hummed the tune of a song. Stumbling feet as you both tried to figure out the movements. And every night before bed when you held onto him as though he would disappear in your hands if you let go. Feeling your fingertips press into his clothed skin, face nuzzled to his chest. His chin on the top of your head, his hand rubbing your back as he lulled you to sleep. Even in deep slumber, he never lets you go. Most nights going to sleep in each others arms and waking up still clinging to each other, somehow feeling like two puzzle pieces coming together. Most of the moments you shared together were spent in silence. Only in eachothers arms. Eyes closed as you felt the feelings of stress and the worries of life fade away in his arms. His hand caressing the side of your face as you drifted to sleep. Choso loved hearing your heartbeat, feeling your warmth against the side of his face as he tried counting how many times you breathed per minute. To him it was like counting sheep before going to bed. I don't think Choso would be the type to use pet names, preferring the intimacy of calling you by your name. But he loved hearing you say his name, the way your voice always said it so sweetly. He loved your voice. Just hearing you whisper, "Good morning-" before kissing his cheek made him giddy in the morning. That's why he would insist on you reading out loud to him, caressing your knee while listening to your voice.
I see Choso as the kind of guy who would try to convince you he knew how to tell someone's future, “Oh really?” You asked, sarcasm in your tone as his hand held yours. “I swear I do-” he started, a smile already on his face as he looked up to the sky. It was late, two, maybe three am. Both of you had lost the want to sleep that night, Choso had asked you if you had noticed how bright the stars shined at night. Seeing as you were on the outskirts of Tokyo and high in the mountains, the stars shone so brightly. So close you felt like you could touch them if you reached your hand out to them. Laying on the grass as you looked over at him, the full moon gave you a clear look at his face. “Then tell me my future.” You said, turning to your side and holding your head up with your hand. He closed his eyes, And let out a ‘hmmm’ he let go of your hand, mirroring the way you laid, opening one eye to look at you. “You have to close your eyes too or it wont work.” He smiled, looking at you. Sighing as you closed your eyes, knowing he was just trying to be funny. “Alright now I can see.” He laughed, you exhaled sharply hearing his tone. His hand reached for yours again, guiding you to hold your hand flat against his, “Ohh i see. This makes sense.” He exaggerated. “Tell me.” you smiled, keeping your eyes closed. Choso opened his eyes to look at you. Admiring your features, taking in the image of you. He thought you looked so beautiful. The way you smiled, waiting for him to tell you the future. Practically melting at how your yes shut tight in anticipation, he smiled. Leaning over to kiss you, pulling away as he watched you open your eyes. You looked at him, eyes squinted, “I knew it.” you said, dropping your hand from his as he smiled at you. He turned to lay on his back, laying your head on his chest hearing his heartbeat quicken. His hand went to you back, holding you close as you closed your eyes. “The only thing I see when I think about my future is knowing it will be with you.” Choso whispered, his free hand behind his head as you rubbed your hand on his chest. 
I see Choso not liking horror movies, always dreading when you brought home a dvd from the 5 dollar section at the gas station. It wasn't because he was scared or anything (his words not mine) he just didn't like seeing the violent things people thought about to make a movie. Not understanding what cruel childhood the director must've had to think of such disgusting gore. Choso's hands clothing your arm, closing his eyes anytime he sensed a scary scene was coming. His body involuntarily jumped as a loud bang flashed on the screen. And everytime you laughed he'd say, “I was falling asleep- the noise surprised me.” Defending himself to you like he had to let you think he was strong. And after the movie was over and you'd be getting ready for bed, in the kitchen getting a glass of water. You'd say, “Did you hear that?” voice quiet and feigning fear. Seeing him flinch, shoulders stiff and turning around to stand in front of you, protecting you from any ghosts that dared step into the light. You couldn't hold in your laugh when you saw him get into his ‘fighting stance’ as he liked to call it, seeing him look back at you with a deadpan face. Taking a step forwards toward your bedroom. “Wait, don't leave the ghosts might get me!” you'd laugh, seeing his hand fwip up and down. “They can have you.” he mumbled, waiting for you at the doorway, secretly afraid of a ghost actually being there. Choso loves you always, even when you feel like complete garbage as the flu ate away at you. “Don't come near me- you'll get sick.” You'd say stuffy nose as he tried to hug you. “I don't care.” he’d reply, his hands wrapping around you as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head. Spending the few days doting on you, holding you close while you shivered in his arms. Whispering to you "Gimme a kiss." before bed. Knowing he won’t go to sleep if you didn't grant him his wish. It didn't take long for Choso to catch it. But like he told you, he didn't care. As a matter of fact- he preferred being sick. It only gave you more reasons to stay at home with him, loving how you’d make him hot soup. How you'd scold him when he didn't take the flu medicine you had bought him. Choso didn't care, he liked knowing that the next morning you'd have to call into work to take care of him. Even long after it had passed, early in the mornings asking you to feel his forehead. That he doesn't feel too good. And you'd always check, pressing your hand to his forehead, “Cho, you feel fine.” you'd say, “Well my stomach hurts too-” he'd say, watching your hands grab your coat with pained eyes, seeing his eyes full of desperation. You placed a kiss on his lips, “I will be home soon.” you'd say through your teeth, seeing him pout in response. Always looking for a way to keep you home with him. 
I see Choso being jealous and possessive. Not in the way you’d think, more in a “I'm jealous of the wind that blows through your clothes.” kind of way. Possessive in the “I want you here with me till the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.” manner. I could never picture Choso willingly being toxic, a few pinkish flags but nothing that could ever really bother you. He was thrown into the new feelings of a different kind of love, so it was understandable when he would say something that was a thought straight from his head. Not bothering to think about it before telling you. But you always knew he meant his words, no matter how jumbled they were. When Choso had brought up how he could never forgive himself if he ever made you cry, you felt your heart strings pull at your chest. How he was so blessed to be with you. Loving him even when he was a mess. The kind of lover that draws you by candle light, telling you- “You look so beautiful- I have to show you.” his hands picking up a napkin and a stray pen from the living room coffee table. Drawing you slowly as you looked at him, thinking about how you were the blessed one to have such a perfect partner. Choso feared very few things, always making sure that you're safe in any situation. Didn't matter how small the danger risk was, you always came first. But what he feared most was your death, he had seen the movies about a perfect love that was shattered by the death of the other. While watching movies Choso liked picturing the two of you as the characters in his mind. Movies that were stupid romcoms, but he still watched them while daydreaming the couples were you and him. When you had brought up if he'd like to watch the John Wick movies, “They're just action movies about a guy who never dies.” You'd say as he nodded his head yes. After watching the first one he thought heavily of what he'd do if you were taken from him. What would become of him if you weren't here anymore. Choso’s heart clenched as he started breathing heavily. Turning over to see your back as you slept, fearing you had died in your sleep he pulled your arm so you'd flip to your back. Placing his ear to your chest, focusing on trying to hear your heartbeat as you slept. A relieved sigh leaving his lips at hearing your heart. Feeling the sudden weight on your chest, stirring awake as you squinted down at him. His eyes look up at you, whispering a small “Sorry.” Before pulling the shared blanket back on top of you. Laying on his side as you turned back around. His hands find their designated place around you, spooning you while you go back to sleep. 
Before you came into his life, Choso didn't have a home. He didn't have something to call home, even if he had a place to lay his head at night. Reading about how people consider their partners home. He didn't know what the feeling felt like till he was in your arms. The tingling feeling in his cheeks as you held onto him, thinking back to a poem he had read a while ago. He'd look up at you, “I get it now-” he'd say propping himself up on his forearms. Looking at his face that was lit up as though he had solved a puzzle he was putting together for years. Your eyes scanned his face in confusion as he jumped off of the bed and walked to the office of your apartment. Sitting up as you heard him rummaging through the drawers. Walking back to the bedroom with a smile on his face and a small book in hand. Fingers flipping through the pages in search of something. “It's the middle of the night-” you said, feeling him plop onto the bed, his eyes widening when he found what he was looking for. He cleared his throat, eyes on the text. “If I were to build a house, I'd have your arms as the walls,-” Choso read, eyes looking back up to you to make sure you were listening. “Your eyes as the windows, your smile as the front door, your heart as the fireplace.”  Toothy smile on his lips as he read the words to you. “And your soul as my light.” his voice shaking, watching your eyes tear up. “And in this house, I'd place my faith, knowing I'd finally found a home.” He finished, closing the pages and setting it down. Your eyes struggled to keep the tears at bay, eyebrows pinched together as his eyes looked to yours, small smile on his lips. “I read this before I met you-” he said, eyes sparkling even in the dim lighting. “And I finally understand it.” He confessed, placing his head back to your chest, his eyes shutting in content, feeling you held his face. “I finally know what a home feels like.” He mumbled to your skin, hand flat on your rib. Smile on your lips while a single tear fell down your cheek. Choso didn't think he was the greatest at explaining his feelings, relying on his actions instead. But when he would say small things like that, it would always make your heart warm. Knowing that there was someone in this world who truly loved you. Unconditionally and without restraint. Never feeling shame in telling you loved you, even if he had told you 10 times that day. 
I see Choso as the kind of person who says things without thinking of them first, but only with you. Often preferring silence with strangers. But when hes with you, he would blurt out the thoughts that had popped into his head while he listened to your ranting about your coworkers. Staring into your eyes, listening to the colorful string of words leave your lips. Heard in his pupils, chin in his hand, low eyes when you noticed his staring. He let a hum fall from his closed lips. “Marry me.” He hummed, eyes going wide hearing his own words leave his mouth before he could stop them. You smiled, relaxing your shoulders. Letting a small laugh fall from your lips seeing him start to stutter trying to save the conversation. Silence falling between you as you watched him realize he couldn't make you unhear his words. “I messed it up again, didn't I?” he asked, his hand on his forehead while he looked down. “Like when I messed it up when you told me you loved me-” He asked, looking up to see you smiling. Sighing, feeling embarrassment flush his cheeks. “It's okay.” You smiled, holding his hand and placing a kiss on his forehead. Feeling his stiff shoulders soften. "It's okay." You repeated, lacing your fingers with his as you soothed him.

Thank you!
wow ajax finished a draft?? unbelieveable 
✰ Macaque, Sun Wukong and MK (Separately) with a S/O Who Draws ✰
Fandom; LEGO Monkie Kid Character List; MK, Sun Wukong, Macaque Genre; Fluff Pronouns; None used for Reader TW/CW; None
☀️
-*Throws my hc about Wukong's drawing hobby at you* -He draws too! Just, not really in a sketchbook. Usually you'd find his drawings on the stone walls with chalk or on random pieces of paper or napkins- He doesn't really have a specific thing to draw in but he does it often -Sooo if his S/O likes to draw too,,, That's amazing! -Wukong likes to watch you sketch and sometimes draws with you while just talking about anything -Like his you're sitting down with your sketchbook and he's sitting on his cloud tryna draw somethin' real big on the wall with his chalk, and you two will just go on about anything while probably drawing two completely different things -Wanted to do a contest with you and had MK be judge. You both drew him and he posed and everything -In the end the kid couldn't choose because both were really good</3 -Illiteracy be damned dude can fucking draw -He'll ask you to draw him and he'd draw you a few times, and he actually puts a lot of effort into drawing you,, buuut you probably wouldn't end up seeing em, he's a tad embarrassed
-Wukong decides to peek into your sketchbook one day -He’s not trying to be invasive! He’s just,, curious,, what else do you draw that you don’t show him? -He doesn’t plan to flip through it all, just peek at a couple pages and smile at your beautiful work. No harm done, right? -Wukong just flips to random pages, some of them he’s seen before, but he still loves. Some he hasn’t and he wonders why you haven’t shown him -And then there’s a few pages that are just full of him -Like, back to back. Little doodles of him with little hearts, some more detailed drawings and a few referenced from the paintings in the cave. Some of the doodles have notes about how you love him next to them -Dude is over the moon -His tail sways rapidly as he looks through the pages of him, cooing at how cute you were. Why didn’t you show him any of these?? He’s so flattered! -Probably the same reason he didn’t show you some of his drawings of you... huh.. -And when you come into the room to see him looking through your sketchbook, he immediately bounds over to you and playfully teases you about the drawings -When you ask him why he was going through your stuff or snatch the book from him, he just tells you how flattered he is and says he loves how you draw him -He’ll ask you if you can draw him again shortly after, if ya like of course. He’ll even pose for you if you need it, and he’ll likely ask to keep the drawing afterwards -And perhaps later he’ll show you the drawings he did of you that he hasn’t shown you.. Y’know, since he already saw yours...  -You’ll love them, trust 
🌙
-On the other hand, Macaque doesn’t draw. He’s not very good at it,,, He’s a much better writer, which is why he’s so good at the shadow play stuff! -However, he enjoys your artwork. He doesn’t say it outright often, but he will watch you draw sometimes while you two are talking and might ask questions about it -Sometimes you draw scenes from his shadow plays, and that makes him real happy. He’s glad you enjoyed the show enough to want to create art based on it -Or maybe he’ll tell you a vague idea he has for a show, and you’ll sketch something out for fun to kinda flesh things out -He’ll def use your ideas whenever he decides to host the show  -Lovers who tell stories together bro y’all are perfect  -Macaque doesn’t open it himself, instead he just finds it open while you’re away from it -He just picks it up and flips through for a bit after looking at the sketch that was currently open to him for a bit -You won’t get too upset, right? ‘S not like he’s gonna negatively make fun of you for what you like to draw. Besides, most of it probably isn’t new to him anyway, and he just wants a second look. Another chance to marvel at your work because honestly really nice -And he’s.. honestly surprised to find so many drawing of himself -Ones he hasn’t seen before, actually. He’s only seen you draw him like, what, once? And here you were doodling pictures of him on page after page -There were little notes about him on the sides, like when you drew him with his hair down and wrote how pretty it was. Long hair Macaque is SO REAL -Or when you drew him just,, genuinely smiling, with little hearts around him  -No, he’s not blushing, not at all -And you just did portraits of him in general, all of which he loved, honest -You love him so much, don’t you? It’s sweet, really, and he’s very flattered. Especially since you seem to draw him a lot more than he thought -He flips back to the original page and sets the book down again before you come back, already hearing when you’ve made your first step in his direction  -Macaque puts his hands behind his head and crosses his legs like nothing happened, but he does give you a knowing smirk when you return to him and pick up your sketchbook  -He asks if you wanna draw him once you finish what you were working on before, still acting like he saw nothing -You probably will pick up on the fact that he knows, but he won’t lie about it if you do -Show him more of your art of him when ya do! He’ll wanna see it, trust -It’s another thing that assures him you love him. The fact that you incorperate him into one of your favorite hobbies so lovingly,, No he is not falling all over again -Especially after the LBD incident,, when (headcanon) half his fur goes white and he can’t use his glamour on it, and you still continue to draw him like usual,,,<33
🌟
-MK!! He draws too and that’s CANON, BABY -You two must draw together and talk about it all -If you two have similar interests then WOO you can draw the same characters and tell eachother how much you love the other’s style -MK will pose for you, you pose for them!  -Draw Monkey King/JTTW shit he will flip  -Sometimes he just likes to watch you draw! And of course he’s gonna ask you to draw him, probably a little more than the other two -But he’s real happy if you want to! Especially if you draw him doing something real cool, like using his monkey powers or fighting demons! -You’ll probably help him with his little drawn out plans- Imagine one of those kinda like from the finale but it’s a mix of both your styles  -MK does have drawings of you, and he shows you most of em! The ones he doesn’t are just ones he doesn’t like or the occasional lovey-dovey one,, so he’s in a similar boat  -Buy stickers for eachothers sketchbooks and decorate em together cause I KNOW he’s got stickers on his (headcanon) -You have a smaller sketchbook, and that’s the one you often carry with you places, like over to Pigsy’s  -You go there one day to hang with MK, Mei, and Red, and you four end up going out to the arcade and movies and stuff- Just having a bunch of fun out in the city! -It was a bit late when you all went back to your respective places, and MK decides to take you home  -You kiss him on the cheek and tell him how much fun you had again before leaving, and he waves at you as you leave with the biggest smile on his face -After returning, he notices your sketchbook left on the floor in his room, where you four were hanging out before you left -MK picks it up and opens it, quickly flipping through the pages realizing it’s yours and not his  -He was gonna close it and bring it back to you tomorrow,,, -But a page caught his eye before he did -Oou, is that him? -There’s a page full of doodles of him, and he looks super cool and pretty in all of them, he’d add!  -Awh, and the little hearts next to him,,,?? He hasn’t seen these ones before? -Flipping the page reveals another one of the same nature. Drawings of him with his staff, and another with his bandana off and hair flopping over his face. You noted how silly but cute he looked with even messier messy hair  -MK is blushing and smiling at the pages, how could you not let him see these?? Tail is going SO FAST, very flattered -He guessed you must’ve been embarrassed,,, but this was so sweet of you! He’d wanna keep them all  -The next day you come over for your sketchbook and he happily hands it to you -He tells you quickly that he went through it and that he’s really sorry he did but he thinks the drawings you did of him were really nice,,, -AND! He drew you! He kinda passed out after because it was late and he’d forgotten that BUT, HE DID IT -He invites you in and hands you a doodle of him and you posing together with a “tada!”  -Hope ya like it! Oh, and draw cute pictures of him like that more often! He will pose for you, but ya gotta let him draw you more too!

Hiiiii Rist 😊 This will be long, but I promise I get to the point as soon as I can, just need to explain things. Also, you know how you replied to my last ask and said Soarked!Valtor would be use if Bloom got with someone “competent and worthy of her” like Stella?
Sooo, I have a head canon of Queen Marion being the younger sister of a Solarian king from 200 years in the show’s past and in this head canon, Stella’s dad King Radius met Bloom’s adoptive parents at Stella’s behest in Season 1 during a school break or something and he becomes quick friends with Mike.
Radius and Mike get drunk and decide that Radius will be Bloom’s godfather and when she’s in the magic dimension he’s her legal guardian and Mike will be the same with Stella when she’s on Earth.
Radius views this as advantageous since not only will Stella be happy to have Bloom as practically family, he’ll also be able to keep an eye on Bloom in case she decides to stake a claim on the Solarian throne, something she can do because of her “purer blood” aka half Domino royalty half Solarian Royalty.
Fast forward, we’re in season 3. Stella has been disinherited and can’t be queen. Cassandra is already practically queen, she just needs to marry Radius, so she’s over confident and starts poisoning him to weaken him and make him die quickly. Radius is somewhat aware of this and with what little spite and resistance he has against her, before falling into a coma that will eventually lead to death, he edits his will.
In that will previously, he said that in the event that something happens to him and Stella is unable to rule or take the throne and Domino was still gone (or if it was back and somehow Daphne was too, meaning Bloom wouldn’t be queen of Domino), Bloom was to become Solaria’s next queen. Radius edited this, now nearly dead, and says that Bloom WILL be queen, on the condition she marries Stella.
It’s like this because he’s already disinherited her and can’t resist Cassandra enough to change that, so he does this, knowing that Bloom would do it to make sure Stella becomes queen.
And she would. The moment Bloom finds out, she unceremoniously proposes to Stella.
Now here’s the actual ask, if Sparked!Valtor found out about this, what would he do? Cuz Bloom WILL marry Stella to help her keep her throne and keep Cassandra off of it. Would he turn his back on Cassandra or help/cure Radius?
So sorry for the REALLY long ask. Didn’t think it would turn out like this, but I’m really curious!
First of all, I am so sorry for the long silence. Secondly, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, rip Valtor. Wonderful ask, 10/10, no notes.
I’m not gonna pretend I know jack shit about how succession works/could work in the MD, but that sounds hilarious. I'm not sure in how far I trust Radius (who seems a bit too laissez-faire and whimsical for serious politics) would be able to plan this ahead, but I can SEE it in my head how the girls would be laboring over text books, rules-lawyering their way through 1500 year old succession law to find a loophole that will keep Stella in power. And then as soon as they take a closer look at their family trees they just go huh. Wouldn’t that be funny? Stella and Bloom rolling up to Cassandra’s party in two gorgeous revenge wedding dresses like TOO LATE FUCKERS we beat you to it. Guess who's also got a claim now, and no living parents to disinherit her.
Imagining what Valtor would do in this scenario is my favorite pastime now, because oh my god he literally can’t win. He'd probably be seething-sulking-whining in his current hideout because WHAT DO YOU MEAN BLOOM GOT MARRIED OFF-SCREEN?! To someone that is royal, powerful AND emotionally close with her?! And, stars beware, prettier than him?! (Bloom's words, not mine)
He didn’t even get the chance to crash their wedding because they probably eloped on the spot. He is inconsolable; he had an outfit for that exact occasion.
And now he's stuck between a rock and a hard place, because either he continues backing Cassandra but has to watch Stella and Bloom be extra lovey-dovey on every news channel there is, or he withdraws Cassandra's powers in the hopes that that means Stella and Bloom have no more need for this marriage and divorce. Which, realistically, probably wouldn’t happen in time for his sanity to recover. They're having far too much fun with this, and Bloom really was only like one romantic sunset away from discovering bisexuality at any given moment.
On the plus side, I think he'd really enjoy being Queen Bloom's secret sidepiece if he gave it a chance. Ra-ra-Rasputin style: the secret evil magician lover lol

If you are a picky eater steve will gladly eat all of the stuff you don't like.
He will try to braid your hair and eventually he will start braiding el's and Max's hair two🥺.
I just know steve doesn't like reading but if you enjoy it, he will gladly take you to a library to pick books out, and will even lend you his book card thingy.🥺😫
yea christ he literally invented boyfriendism😔
you’ll go out to eat and he’s basically resigned himself to you eating half his food. he’s grown a bit of an affinity for the foods you don’t like, too. there’s never a meal where you’re not sharing food together, even if you’re half way across the room from eachother<3
he’s sooo bad at braiding your hair lmao, pieces falling out and dropping all over the place. and eventually you convince him to braid max’s hair too for when she needs to pull her hair back in her skating helmet. and sometimes he’ll braid el’s hair too, and it’s just very very soft and quiet as he’s trying to focus lol. he always pretends to be annoyed he has to do it, but you know he secretly likes practicing it and perfecting it, and you and max and el always tease him for it, until one day when he starts legitimately getting good and you three are a little shocked. but obviously you’d never admit that to him<3
he’s not a huge reader, but he’s a huge fan of you reading things to him because he “likes the sound of your voice” when he’s trying to fall asleep:) so he’ll take you and kind of lean against one of the shelves, twiddling his thumbs, as you’re darting about the place looking for things, and sometimes he’ll try to rant and ramble to you as you’re perusing, just hushed, little “god you won’t believe the lady we had come into work the other day…” or “did robin tell you anything about the new chick she’s talking to…” and you’re usually always half listening like “yep, uh huh, yea” and he’s just following you around and gesticulating all cute and he definitely gets shushed a couple times when he gets a little too enthusiastic or heated:) and sometimes he’ll stroll about all sweet and curious as he looks himself, and he usually always comes back with some random science fiction story or something like “will you read this one to me:)” and you, of course always say yes:) he just looks so cute looking up to read all the titles and strolling about the shelves with his hair all dreamy and his sweater and his jeans and his little waist as he pulls out random books to read the first page or two, and he’ll run his hand through his hair as he’s trying to determine if he wants to read more or not:) and he really doesn’t think he’s “smart enough” to read, but you’re constantly trying to convince him hes literally one of the smartest people you know and that he needs to be kind to himself<3

Tell me about jeeves and wooster like you're a car salesman (I want to get into it now because of you 🤝 just curious what to look for and where, share your mighty old man yaoi wisdom)
HELLO !! AAA tysm for the ask... id be delighted to give a rec to the ceo of old man yaoi herself lol, im putting on my best car salesman voice!! :D
okok so. this car is for you. i remember you mentioning that u like characters who are competent / good advice-givers / surrounded by idiots but arent leaders themselves, and this is jeeves in spades teeheee...
he and bertie wooster are from the series by P. G. Wodehouse set in the 1920s-1930s about this well-meaning dorky guy who keeps getting into trouble (thats bertie) and his amazingly competent valet (jeeves!!!!) - and their dynamic is amazing. it's a little more lighthearted than sheo/haskill or butler/craftsman i think but you may still like it :D
jeeves is so much more competent and intelligent than bertie but always has bertie's best interests at heart. they still have little spats over silly things, like bertie's ugly ties, so jeeves gets to have his prissy little "very good sir 😒" moments <33
the books (all free on Gutenberg) can be read in any order and the tv show episodes (all on Youtube) can be watched in any order :] so u can jump around to see what u like, but if i were to recommend a specific place to begin, it would be this wonderfully-edited video that sums up their dynamic, so u can see if it might be up ur alley:
youtube
if u wanted to start w the books id actually give an unorthodox rec which is the short story Bertie Changes His Mind, cos it's brief, it's the only story from the perspective of jeeves, and it offers so much insight into their relationship. and tbh its very gay and basically reads as though it was written by haskill
(^ me revealing the fact that that i got into J&W bc of haskill... the haskill-to-any-other-snarky-butler-character pipeline is so real. plus haskill and sheogorath have been compared to jeeves and wooster sooo <3)
OK THATS IT... thank you sm for the ask i got extremely carried away i just love these two fr <33

For the self ship game 🍷💐🥄
AOT Eren vers:
(& feel free to request any AOT character!!)
🍷 - What was your first date like? I don't think Eren would be one for like a lunch/dinner date, he'd be LIVING for an outdoor date, for fucking sure: He'd be the boyfriend who'd book a flight, just in order for you two to hike along the quiet, scenic mountains of Maui. "Because I was born into the world!" -- Eren takes advantage of being alive; Eren believes and makes you believe, in living the life you have before you. Eren is an adventurous and lively spirit <3 (i love him sm plz)
Tumblr media
^Haleakalā, Maui
💐 - What flowers would you get your f/o? What flowers would your f/o get you? Oakleaf hydrangeas. They remind me of him. They're bold, strong, and captivating. They take up SPACE and are unapologetic about it. Oakleaf hydrangeas are huge, but light in weight, and I'd just think it's so cute to see Eren holding them HAHA -- and he'd be able to move around freely with such a lightweight flower.
For me/you? Oh I think he'd get a dried flower that he'd found on one of his adventures. Eren brought back for me/you <3 The flower would have adventure memories attached to it, Eren definitely learned something cool about the flower-- like, it only grows in caves due to the unique and specific moisture and light levels within the cave-- Eren loves being alive and learning things, he's always been such a curious boy.
Tumblr media
^Oakleaf Hydrangeas
🥄 - Who's the big spoon and who's the little spoon? Eren is for sure the big spoon, rolling my eyes (cause I like being the big spoon). I think Eren would prefer looking at your face so you'd be lying together in a horizontal hug. But back to spooning: he's the big spoon boy. Eren is somebody who takes charge of life and he also will do anything to be strong and protect the people around him, so, it's no surprise he likes feeling protective when he's cuddling. He'd press slow, strong kisses all over my/your neck, too, because he just LOVES you. Eren would love cuddling after a long day, overflowing with passionate love for you, he loves coming home to you.
Tumblr media
^Eren would love any skin color person, he'd just love their soul first and foremost <3
Tumblr media
HEY THANK YOU AVERY FOR ASKING!!! This was sooo fun to do :') It was a nice part of my dayyy <33 so cuteee ugh, I love characters and friends. so, so much. I love loving people.

Norribeth was the first ship I read fics for about 12-13 years ago. I was obsessed with these idiots but due to whatever I started hating the entire potc franchise. But a few days ago I read Redemption's Promise and- HOLY SHIT! THAT'S SOOO GOOD! I've read it about five times in the span of 3 days.
I do fanfic bookbinding as a hobby and I was wondering if you'd let me bind your story?
Thank you for writing such a great story and reigniting my love for these two idiots. ♡
Oh wow. How do I even respond to praise like this? Get it tattooed on my body? Send it to my mother to hang on her fridge?? Print it out and eat it on toast??? I’m so overwhelmed! In the best of ways!
I’m very glad you enjoyed Redmeption’s Promise, my friend. Even after all these years it remains one of the most important things I ever had a hand in creating. Both to others and to me personally. That readers like you continue to find and enjoy it is tremendously thrilling and validating in equal measure.
I’ve often thought of the possibility of having this fic printed and bound for me by someone else, but have ultimately never done so. As such, you absolutely have my permission to do a book binding of this story, so long as you are willing share that process with me via pics. I’ve never had someone ask before and find myself intensely curious!
I’m also curious what led you to this fic. Did you find it here or over on the Archive? Did you search it out or stumble across it in the wild? Whatever the case, I’m pleased that you did, my friend.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I shall hold them dear in my heart for years to come.~

Hiiiiiiiii Kay :)
I have a question that has been PLAGUING me since I read this:
“You can’t tell me you don’t have something that you know an abnormal amount of information about,” James says.
“There’s plenty of things I know an abnormal amount of information about, I have no life, but I don’t make that anybody else’s problem,” Regulus teases.
PLEASE can you tell me what those topics are?! I NEED TO KNOW!! (esp because there are PLENTY?!)
Love you and your magnificent brain <3 mwah!
pom i literally love when you ask these questions hahahaha. gonna give you another answer that’s much longer than you actually asked for:
but so, regulus has read a lot. growing up he spent a lot of time at home quiet and wanting to be alone away from it all with a book, and even as he became an adult he just kept reading. not just for pleasure, either, not just fiction stuff, he’s like a little packrat with knowledge, he’s very curious and likes to know things and see different inputs on things and all that (which is also another reason he enjoys james dorkily rattling off fire facts even though he teases him about it). sometimes it’s things that like genuinely pique his interest, and other times it’s just things he wants to be able to be fucking right about lmao. so that’s where that “plenty” comes from. like, there’s a high possibility if you took you got the antidote regulus to a trivia night, he knows way more answers than anybody else on the team expects and everyone’s looking at him like ???? you’re twenty-two years old why do you casually know that ??? lmao
this one doesn’t come as too much of a shock since we’ve seen him and his photography hobby before, but baby boy knows way more than he needs to know about what different cameras do, how to achieve different light leaks, best times and weathers for certain lighting and coloration on photos, different methods of photo development and what looks best for what sort of photos, etc etc. just way more knowledge than the casual “i like taking pictures sometimes” type hobby lol.
also hasn’t been touched on quite yet, but he really likes reptiles. lizards, snakes, turtles, the whole deal. he has this reptarium he likes to visit sometimes (coming up in a later chapter lol) bc he likes to look at all the cool critters he can’t afford/doesn’t have the space for. but bc he wants to have a whole little reptile collective in a dream world someday, he knows copious amounts about them in like “preparation” almost; different snake breeds and morphs and what their care is like, same with a slew of different lizards. headcanon that pandora mentioned precisely one time that she’d love to get a leopard gecko and regulus was buzzing, like ‘oh yeah? what sort of morph are you looking for? do you have other lizards? do you have the space for a tank big enough for one? you know you have to be careful with temperature regulation with them, right?’ so on and so forth and pandora was like 🧍🏻‍♀️ it’s like 8 in the morning my dude i’ve never seen you talk this much
tldr; don’t let reg fool you when he calls james a loser. he’s also a fucking loser in his own way (affectionate. sooo affectionate lol)

What don’t people like about Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run? (Genuinely asking.) I haven’t read any other Nightwing runs in full but I have read some old one-shots like Old Friends, New Enemies (alright) and The New Order (absolute garbage), as well as the entirety of New Teen Titans and the 2003 Titans run. I’m not that emotionally invested in Taylor’s run. Every time I see Babs as Batgirl I get so angry my vision blurs but besides that I just kinda read it every month like “that was kinda fun” and then I forget about it. Do people dislike it because of how frivolous it is or is it too two-dimensional a representation of his character or…? I’m just confused because I love being a hater but I see him bullied a lot more than other authors who deserve it more (like Scott Lobdell, who we should guillotine) and idk why (besides the obvious ableism problem with Babs, but that’s a company wide issue). I hope this ask isn’t annoying or unintentionally rude or anything. I’m genuinely just curious. I mean, hey, if we’re all lining up to attack Tom Taylor with hammers, I’ll get in line but I gotta know why, y’know?
idk why everyone else doesnt like him so i cant speak for anyone but myself (i also havent read any other full nightwing runs so maybe my opinion doesnt count hfsadkjhfsaj)
but personally my biggest problem with it is babs being batgirl :/ even batgirls is making half an attempt to put her in the wheelchair sometimes, but this run feels like its going out of its way to make babs be batgirl
other than that there arent like. Major Problems its just bad lmao, the writing feels so forced all the time and its like hes structuring the whole story around moments that he wants (like dick hugging bruce and calling him dad) but then all the moments seem unearned because he barely built up to it and it feels out of place. also theres like,,, no actual plot. he keeps pretending that theres actually a story but then nothing happens every issue
not to mention the way he writes dick is so. ugh. its like dick cant do anything with help which is really annoying bc hes getting knocked on his ass by random villains every month and then its like "oh but he has so many friends and the titans are here to help him <3!!!!" and then that happens 50 times
anyways. i think that a big reason he gets a lot of hate now rather than someone like lobdell is because lobdell isnt currently writing anything (afaik? hes not writing anything that i care about at least fhdjsahfk) so even though i want him to die hes not in my line of vision and i have no object permanence. TAYLOR on the other hand is writing multiple books rn and i see people hail him as one of dc's best writers and its sooo frustrating so i hate him. he also annoys me so i think he should die
most of what annoys me personally is that he writes the most bland stories with no actual characterization but there are still people acting like hes gods gift to earth in the form of a comic writer ://// like hes not a good writer, hes writing moments that are intended to be screenshotted and posted on twitter instead of writing stories
im not trying to convince you to hate tt or anything ofc, theres nothing wrong with his nightwing run (other than the ableism which like you said is prob more of a dc editorial thing than him specifically) so if you enjoy it thats great, godspeed 🫡

the recent discourse re:yuri is so curious to me. my two cents is that some of it can be attributed to the very well researched book on yuri history by erica friedman that came out a couple years back which made the seemingly legit claim that the genre started with women authors. of course the whole picture is more fraught than the viral posts i see on this paint it. and the book itself has a long section on The Bad Parts of yuri. but the quotes i see people use and word of mouth fail to mention that part. i can kind of get the defensiveness bc yuri is so often dismissed as a genre JUST for the tillitation of men in a way that really erases the quite large subculture of lesbian/bi otaku and the women writers themselves. which tbf is often the case with a lot of these subcultures (sooo much "moe" was/is written by women but was imediately dismissed as a dude thing. this kind of radicalized me as a teen.). all of that being said there WAS an interesting shift these last few years on the stories being told and how they are told (maybe because of the critical/comercial success of kabi nagata's memoirs and of series like kase-san and yagakimi? the overall evolving discourse about lgbt people on the public sphere? the uptick in openly queer women writing independent webcomics? none of these? all of these and more? shrugs). i've been reading unhinged gay manga in dynastyscans for like, a decade by now. and it's become increasingly more common for them to feature adult women, people actually saying the word "lesbian", lesbian bars even. it still surprises me constantly. comic yuri hime actually split itself in two (the idea is that the core mag is for women and the other is for men. fostering this idea of yuri by women to women). even the kirara magazine started including a lot of yuribait in its publications. which is a different beast entirely but is amusing enough that it makes me go "okay who is this FOR? yuribros? just to snatch the stray lesbian reader?". sorry for the long message i am just fascinated by all of this.
Tumblr media
no worries at all this is actually extremely interesting thank you so much for all these extra details yeah i have been curious about like general demographic surveys or such of major yuri magazines yeah that makes sense from a lot of my research as well erica friedman seems to be the main source of a lot of information about yuri i have also wondered in general if some of the confusion around the genre also seems to come from a lot of western bookstores manga hosting sites and so on seemingly grouping memoir and short like joke comics about lesbians and so on under the yuri label i mean im sure part of that online is cuz dynasty scans has a really wide interest in what they seek out and translate which like i love that this stuff has a wider audience but its odd to call it yuri yeah ive noticed that as well in terms of shifts in whats actually focused on i read one yuri manga that was also about broader yuri fandom i guess like about a lonely lesbian who wrote yuri doujins and so on helping another manga artist find her love for drawing again and talking about like actual stuff about being gay and so on idk very interesting the places things are going like i think thats the other funny thing about the new narrative around yuri is like as you said its often kinda surprising still when characters actually say they are lesbians cuz a lot of works kinda held onto like oh ur my exception oh this will fade etc idk fascinating stuff thank u also for the details about the states of different magazines very interesting also if u wanna discuss this more in dms :3

read more for breeze-by reviews of the books films and shows I read/watched in 2022

lord of the flies - oof 5/5 v chilling
the neverending story - 2/5 the whole movie is in the first seven chapters and it just drags on from there and bastian was annoying

nope - 5/5 sooo good. loved the concept of an animal like alien and everything was set up so well. does rely on the “don’t look a horse in the eye or it will go berserk” thing which is just. not true. (literally just be chill and the horse will be chill. it’s more about approaching them from the side than directly in front). but on the whole the horse portrayal was pretty good
vengeance - 3/5 got v tense after the twist. went some places. left me feeling hmm
good will hunting - 4/5 literally heard of this movie my whole life. it’s good
rampage - 2/5 I love big scary animal monsters but this got too big and silly
potc: on stranger tides - 3/5 the story was better than I thought it would be, but overall it wasn’t made with the same care as the og trilogy
potc: dead men tell no tales - 2/5 almost just stupid
spiderman: no way home - 4/5 everyone was acting their pants off and it was great
black panther: wakanda forever - 4/5 ran a little long but loved all the choices and visuals
weird - 3/5 what it says on the can. bizarre and funny
the princess switch 2 - 2/5
the princess switch 3 - 3/5 unexpected pathos???
hildago - 3/5 honestly think I would’ve liked it better if he shot the horse at the end :/ which is a horrible thing to say but
falling for christmas - 2/5 I did it for you miss lohan
disenchanted - 2/5 and one of those is solely for idina menzel singing
jojo rabbit - 5/5 tonally brilliant and surprisingly full despite being under two hours
glass onion - 5/5 v fun and v engaging from beginning to end
tv shows
attack on titan s4 pt 2 - 3/5 not enough levi. also can we just finish this dam story
stranger things s4 - 4/5 a lot of crunchy plot stuff happened, v curious to see how it will end
only murders in the building s2 - 4/5 not as strong as s1 but still v enjoyable
derry girls s3 - 5/5 no notes
kenobi - 3/5 not bad but also pretty unnecessary
this is us s6 - 3/5 pretty likely end to the series but the more I thought about it the more I didn’t like it
abbott elementary - 5/5 no notes. most enjoyable mockumentary I’ve seen
rutherford falls - haven’t finished the first season yet so reserving final judgement but so far so good

✯ A Sim-ply Historical House Party ✯
Tumblr media
Today Kiry is graduating High School. His absurdly wealthy & famous mothers have bought a TS2 re-creation of the Beaker House to host his themed costume party in. Ofcs, Acco, and Atreo are invited!
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Omw, look at it! It’s exactly as described in our history books!”
Acco: “Hiya Kiry!"
Kiry: “Good evening and welcome! I appreciate the effort you put into your costumes, I can very easily tell you are meant to be Don Lothario and Pascal Curious."
Tumblr media
Acco: “I’m so excited, congrats again on graduating and with such high grades!”
Kiry: “Thank you!"
Atreo: “I’m in awe, the attention to detail… I never knew your mums were so rich!”
Kiry: “They truly went all out. We even have a DJ and a juice keg for the occasion.”
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Juice?! This party is gonna be amazing!"
Acco: “Pascal and Nervous were such a good idea for a couples’ costume by the way.”
Kiry: “I can’t even explain how right this feels. Seeing us both dressed like this is making me happy and highly flirty."
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Yes!! Juice, juice, JUICE! Let’s all get dazed!”
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Really? Cassandra? Don’s fiancée? Coincidence much?”
Zehra: “It's not. I did my research.”
Atreo: "You went through my trash again, didn't you?"
Zehra: "Ah you got me!"
Atreo: "It's a good thing I like you."
Kiry: "You… do? I need to process this information."
Tumblr media
Most of the guests head into the courtyard to dance to the TS2 soundtrack. Everybody seems to be having a blast. It's a hot, sweaty night so the juice is flowing fast.
Tumblr media
Acco: “I swear Atreo’s not paying any attention to me at all. I bet he still doesn't know about me and Kiry. I’ve told him like 3 times! I have a feeling he’s not gonna like it…”
Onyx: “Oh who cares what your stupid brother thinks? You’re happy, that’s all that matters."
Tumblr media
Acco: “I suppose… great costumes btw guys.”
Onyx: “Who knew dressing as a 40-something Mum would feel this comfortable?”
Acco: “Denise you really look like Olive Specter. It’s scaring me.”
Denise: “Aw thank you Acco. You won’t end up in my garden tonight.”
Tumblr media
Derya: “Do you need help?”
Zehra: “Ha! Not from you. I can’t believe you dressed as gold digger Dina.”
Derya: “Esma suggested we be the twins-"
Zehra: “You always leave me out! I wanted to be Nina and dream about hottub woohoo with Atreo.”
Derya: “Go and snipe at Esma then."
Tumblr media
Derya: “ Wow Atreo, you totally pull off the Don look.”
Atreo: “Thanks, you make a good Dina.”
Derya: “You up for some roleplay? We could mess around in the shower?"
Tumblr media
Atreo: "Oh Dina, we shouldn't. I’m engaged."
Derya: "It'll be our secret. Meet me in the bathroom later."
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Hey! Cool costumes… You’re the Burbs right?”
Asmara: “Yup, John and Jennifer. Where’ve you been Atreo? I haven’t seen you in ages, we should really catch up… as friends I mean.”
Atreo: “Yeah… Sorry. Later. So does this mean you’re a couple?”
Tumblr media
Asmara: “What? No!”
Aldo: “OMW I’m into guys. I told you this. We both have! Do you listen, like ever?”
Asmara: Yeah this is just a friend thing, we thought it’d be cute.”
Atreo: “Oh thank the Watcher.”
Tumblr media
Esma: “If you’re Don Lothario, where’s your beard?”
Atreo: “Ugh I couldn’t grow it and my cheeks are just too silky smooth to glue on a fake one.”
Esma: “Your lack of commitment is disappointing.”
Atreo: “Hey you’re Nina, you’re meant to be into me!”
Tumblr media
Atreo: “Are you excited for your birthday tomorrow?”
Zehra: “Not really, but I’m excited about yours! A young adult in two days! I wonder what your rolls will be?”
Atreo: “Yeah well, I’ve been trying not to think about it.”
Tumblr media
Atreo: “The Watcher and their friends really don’t like me, so my future is looking bleak… Yeah not gonna dwell on it.”
Zehra: “Don’t worry my love. I will be there to support you every step of the way.”
Tumblr media
Derya: “Sooo I’m heading to the bathroom just so you know.”
Zehra: “Uck you’re so weird and gross. I’m gonna hack your social bunny and tell everybody."
Atreo: "And I'm gonna go to set off the fireworks I bought real fast. My bladder bar is very low suddenly."
Tumblr media
Atreo quickly heads up the stairs to light the fireworks he set up earlier, looking forward to messing around with Derya. He’s determined to distract himself from all the stuff he doesn’t want to accept is happening and is completely unaware of what he’s about to witness…

I KNEW THAT HAND WAS TOO FUCKING CLOSE IM GOING TO EXPLODE AGAGAGAGAGAG. I'm so excited to see where this goes cause holy shit. Poor Bow is gonna have some serious adjusting to do :( I think out of everyone she's having the worst go at it tbh like ya kid got puppetized and mu is suffering and timmy is fucking gone (L) but like poor Bow has had her entire world turned upside down, facing the end of time itself, both people closest In her life were lying to her about major parts of themselves, has to work with a woman she barely knows outside of books, to go fins her missing friend who just took her sight in an incredibly violent way! (though it was very cool to read eye trauma my beloved) like she needs a vacation. and therapy. lots of therapy. anyways nice to see all the cut the strings bullshit from the puzzle finally get its payoff.
speaking of I hope people are liking the art, I had a great time with it being a little secret :) all for me, little puzzle page gift. but in the end, the real gift for me was the puzzle page itself, like THATS SO COOL. the puzzle solver becomes a part of the puzzle :) her own little spot in the grand scheme of it all :)
anyways thanks for the great chapter I understand why you were losing ur shit over it I would too tbh. 12 15 22 5 25 1 11 9 14 7 <3
EHEHEHE i'm really curious to know what your initial thoughts or expectations were about that piece! it's definitely one that i love really deeply, it's not my first time working with that artists hehe and they always manage to blow everything they create completely out of the water :3c
with that being said AAAAHHH I'M SOSOSO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE CHAPTER HOWDY. i was SO excited for it like honest to god somethig possessed the hell out of me because while it's been sitting on my outline for eons, i shit you not i churned it out in two days. very very rough shitposty draft day one and final draft day two. i don't think i've ever written that fast in my life. i'm not sure i ever will again
bow is definitely going through the worst of it for realsies like out of everyone she is just continuously getting screwed over. no house, no cat, no job, no mental stability, no vision, no emotional support timmy... all she wanted was to be cats with kid and look where that got her 😭 at least she has minuit back tho lol? but i mean with everything else going on that hardly makes up for it. its just sooo easy to kick her when shes down though........ she definitely is gunna need a lot of vacations+therapy after this. but maybe we should focus on her hospital bills first
im so happy you had fun with the puzzle heheeh i already miss it so much!!!!! im glad we got the chance to cement you in there. youve been so dedicated, you deserve it! :3
thank you for the kind words howdy im sorry it took me so long to reply... i always like to let these things sit so i can just look at them and feel all warm and fuzzy. 12 21 22 21 20 15 15 11 9 14 7

bestieeee im the ‘is it a date or not’ anon LOL i have few updates and it’s a ride!! and its gonna be very looong
1. it was a date!! and it went sooo well. we kissed (im easy, i know im a hoebag), but before he kissed me he brushed his teeth bcs he didn’t want me to taste the onion bcs we ate in indian food 😭 but he didn’t mind it from me.
2. our second date was last weekend. netflix and chill. at his apartment bcs my tv was still in the cardboard box.
3. his apartment is really nice, has a lot of books (sadly no fiction, just some engineering books and self help types). has a lot of stuff but very tidy. and ps 5 games. no pets.
4. i got my period while we were watching 😭😭😭😭😭 and i stained his sofa with my menstrual blood. i didn’t notice it bcs ive always been irregular. of course i didn’t bring any pads. i don’t even bring clothes bcs i didn’t plan to stay. so imagine the chaos in my mind.
5. i cried. a lot because it was so embarrassing. he hug me and let me cry. after that he apologized that he didn’t have pads/tampons. i wanted to take a shower and he was ‘yeah, cmon, i’ll give you my clothes don’t worry’
6. his bathroom is really nice, clean, AND HE HAS A BIDET. idk why but i noticed his products. he used la roche posay and aesop products like??? this is the first time ive been with a guy that doesn’t use gatsby or ‘masculine’ products.
7. he has very clean and soft towel and he warmed it 😭😭
8. he bought me the correct pads😭😭😭 like he bought me the winged, large pad, and an ‘emergency panties’. his apartment complex has a convenient store at the ground level so it was quick.
9. HE CLEANED MY BLOODIED PANTS AND PANTY😭😭😭😭😭 no disgust face. nothing. he also immediately clean the sofa cover.
10. i cried after shower. because he was so kind and he didn’t appear to be disgusted or upset or mad or disappointed. he just was like him??? he was so calm and nonchalant and kind and helpful and he was very accommodating.
11. i ended up wearing his tshirt and shorts. the shorts was too big, but he has some clips so it’s not too loose. LIKE HOW DOES HE HAVE THAT!?
12. i cried again. i fucking HATE to be the stereotypical menstrual woman but fuckkkk i was so embarrassed and touched. AND HE WAS NOT MAD AT MEEEE! ik it’s the bare minimum but i was so touched.
13. he bought me chocolate 🥹 like loads.
14. i apologized to him bcs i got my period. and he was ‘you dont have to apologize!’ etc etc. i hugged him. again. he asked me to sleep his apartment bcs it was late and his car was still fixed. i said yes bcs i was also curious LOL IM SO EASY IM SORRY but we didn’t have sex. he did not even initiate.
15. i sleep in his bed. which again, very nice and clean and smells good. he sprayed lavender sleeping oil (i got at my place too) on the pillows. HE WAS THOUGHTFUL.
16. he was planning to sleep on the air mattress, but i asked him to sleep with me. i cried. we cuddled and kiss kiss. and we sleep. no sex involved.
17. he has a white noise machine 😭
18. i thanked him for being so thoughtful and considerate and generous and not condescending. i even thanked him for buying the correct pads.
19. turns out his mother and his oldest sister ARE OBGYN! even more surprising, his mother IS MY OBGYN and i just got my pap smear at her clinic 3 months ago 😭 i didn’t make the connection bcs his mother has different last name.
20. he has two older sisters, and he is the youngest and only boy. idk why but this explains a lot about his choices of hygiene products.
21. he snores, but not too loud. it was cute. i think im in love.
22. in the morning he made me toast but with chocolate sprinkles topping. i found out this is dutch breakfast. his mother is dutch. (explains why he’s 6’6 HAHA).
23. not only did he clean my bloodied pants and my shirt, he also IRONED IT.
24. he took a cab with me to my place. it was sunday.
25. he mounted my tv. and made it so tidy that no cable wire was seen. 😭 if i did it myself it’s gonna be messy. but he did it so tidy.
26. IT WAS SONFUCKING HOT like??? he was in my living room and placing tv and things like that, connected it to wifi, signing it to netflix, hbo, youtube, etc. i was just staring at him. im in love.
27. i realized during our interaction he never complained. EVER. like never. i never see him in negative emotion. he was always calm. idk if it’s a good thing or not.
28. he still texted me his lunch/meme. and he just send me pictures orange stray cats he met 😭 i wanna have cat but i cant bcs my landlord dont allow it. i especially want an orange cat😭
29. i thought he was going to ghost me. but he didn’t. he even asked me about my period pain and he offered to ask his mom/sister about it if i have any concerns. i haven’t told him that his mom is my obgyn, yet. (should i even tell him?)
30. i really want him to be husband by now.
what do you think guys? do you think this is love bombing type? but at the same time he doesn’t do romance things??? idk. but these whole thing just made me 🥹❤️🥹❤️ please please tell me if there’s any redflag i missed bcs i tend to wear rose-colored glasses. and i tend to notice little things and make myself fall in love.
also how do i make it up to him? please tell me i really don’t want him to lose interest. but tbh i feel like he he still holds the same interest as our first interaction. more even???
sorry for the extremely long post😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He sounds amaaaaazing! But also don’t go too easy just bc he’s started well or put him on a pedestal!!!! You’ll give him too much power and it won’t be even. You gotta accept the nice things as actually your due.
That said what about cooking for him or something nice and chill?
I’m so happy for you, this is gorgeous and hopeful and we’re all crossing our little fingers for you baby
