[spectralpooch]

considering making this a double update but idk. i think maybe itd be best pacing-wise to read these two chapters in sequence but that'd mean not updating until the end of the month :thinking: idk. maybe it's more fun to read semi-regular short updates over irregular long updates? so ig i should just post them individually...

[a-caterpillars-world]

[cvntroach5000]

Underneath it all, we're just savages

author's note: i dont know what the fuck is happening in the trailer, but thats okay. i have ideas and those ideas dont need this context, they just need to entertain me and i hope they can entertain you as well. nexos is not the actual name of the place and i dont like the codenames used for the lis in the event, so ill just be making shit up. do not take anything i say at face value, this is a self-indulgent space. also this is more of a preview than a whole fic, so please send feedback if you'd be interested to read more!

based on the new tommorows catch-22 trailer, written with the event outfit in mind, no use of y/n, reader has the command evol, if you feel like im referencing something no you do not

i think command evol reader is going to become a recurring thing on this blog, so stay tuned for more of that ig

Becoming head warden of the Nexos Prison was not something you did out of ambition. It wasn't some kind of dream-come-true, a job and position you yearned to seize. It didn't make you feel fulfilled, it didn't bring you happiness nor satisfaction. It did ensure you had a roof over your head and food to fill your stomach, basic needs you suppose you were grateful to have taken care of.

But the reason you were here, overseeing the most dangerous wards and the most rabid prisoners was because they were yours. Madness tried to take them from you, so you followed them to the place where insanity rules to reclaim them. Once you'd succeeded, you'd leave this wretched place and take your prizes with you.

Six wards, six sectors in each. The sixth sector of every ward was your territory. Unless explicitly asked, other wardens steered clear of those places. Not that they were forbidden entry, but rather it was wise of them to stay away if they valued their lives. In each sixth sector was a lion's den, containing a single ferocious beast. People infected with insanity, distorted into abominations in body and mind.

You don't work on Sundays. This is a prison, not Hell, even if the lines seem to blur sometimes. The remaining six days, you make rounds through the wards, interrogating the predators residing in your sectors. As the number goes up, so does the level of contamination. The first one is quite sound of mind, even if his body acts out. The sixth one is wholly feral, lashing out physically and verbally, itching to tear everything near him to shreds. But it's okay, it's not like you play favorites with your charges. They are all precious in their own ways and working with them gives you purpose. The only gratification from this cursed fucking job.

Today, you're going to the Sixth Ward.

...Perhaps you do play favorites, after all.

The prison is a labyrinth, massive and intricate. Everything is made with enforced steel from Deepspace. It's cold and harsh, giving the place as little comforting energy as possible. You swear, if those who are sent here were not mad already, they'd be driven mad by the dreadful atmosphere. Nobody gives a shit to put up some pastel colored wallpaper or even a little photo of a sloth that says 'Hang in there'. Though natural light is scarce in the desolate wasteland beyond the prison gates, Nexos goes above and beyond to snuff it out and enshroud the whole facility in complete darkness. Some hallways are lit so poorly, the staff carry around lanterns to be able to navigate through them.

It only takes two hours of elavator rides, weaving through the dark halls and passing through security to arrive at your destination of the day. You climbed the chain of command so fervently when you first arrived here. You used to be nervous and unsure, worried you might mess up at your tasks. Anxious and insecure, struggling to communicate with the other staff. Now you barely notice the guards cowering and scattering as you pass by. You don't even feel a rush of adrenaline as you finally make your way to the gate to the Sixth Sector.

As the doors slide open, a long corridor comes into view. Even from the entrance you can feel the stiffling energy crackling from the cell at the end of the hallway. It's disorganised and weak, as if the air itself is calling out for help. You let slow, long steps guide you down this path you've walked hundreds of times before.

There he is.

You catch a glimpse of the shock of white hair in the darkness, an imposing figure leaning against the jailbars. Even sitting down and slouching, his hulking body looks massive. He doesn't react to the sound of your footsteps. You've made no effort to conceal your presence, yet he doesn't seem to notice you up until you are directly behind him.

His hand slams into the bars, snapping back in a sudden burst of instinct. He almost seems surprised to see you—he really didn't register your presence until now. Still, he lets out a low, breathy laugh. You can see his fangs gleaming in the faint light as he grins mischievously. His gaze seems shrouded by a dark cloud, pupils practically gleaming as they erractically scan over you.

"Well, hello there, dear supervisor. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" There's bite to his tone, yet he doesn't sound entirely sarcastic either.

You adjust your gloves and review the toolbox you have prepared outside his containment cell.

"Hello. I'm here for your routine interrogation." You announce robotically, as per protocol, "Do you know who I am?"

The prisoner exhales through his nose as though offended by your question. But he takes a moment to observe your face before slowly admitting,

"No. Should I?"

The furrow of his brow softens and he seems to genuinely rack his brain for an answer. He means to tease you, imply you're a nobody that he'd have no way of knowing. And yet he studies you carefully, searching your uniform for some kind of identifier; a name tag, ideally. Though there seems to be a thin metal plate over your right breast, he doesn't spy any words engraved in it.

"Noted." You finish preparing your tool box, setting it just outside the door of the cell.

"I will now be entering your cell. Stand in the middle of the room and raise your arms, please." You instruct him.

He snaps his teeth at you in defiance, but complies, positioning himself as you asked. A special set of chains snakes down from the ceiling, coiling around his wrists and pulling him upwards. He hisses as the links in the chain bite into his skin and he is hoisted high enough that even with his height, he's forced to stand up on his tip-toes.

You lift your hand up to the scanner on the door, activating the security lock. After authorising your identity through the biometric scanner, the bars of the door slide to the side. You leave your toolbox outside for now, slowly entering the beast's cage.

It is dreadfully barren, a single chair stationed in the corner and a pathetic, thin little mattress lying directly on the cold floor. Unfortunately, there wasn't much else that could be provided to predators of his level. They were so stripped of their senses, they barely registered the discomfort they lived in. Always pacing around like starving lions, they were restless. They didn't sleep, they simply collapsed from exhausion once the contamination couldn't force them to stay alert anymore. And they recovered fast, prowling in their cells again as soon as an hour later.

You hum in acknowledgement, stepping forward to inspect your charge. There's a few fresh bruises on him, some a ghoulish shade of purple. A couple of small scratches and one open cut. You suspect he'll heal up soon and create more wounds to replace the old ones. None of them ever had the same injuries two visits in a row. Still, this was a pretty tame entry on his record.

After circling around him, you are quite satisfied with your findings. You look at his face to find him staring back at you, analysing you with intensity to match yours. His eyes trail over the items lined at your belt; a whip, a pistol and a baton. You take the whip from its strap, caressing the leather as you do.

"Heh, I see you came here to play. Plan on beating the disobedience out of me?" He taunts you, but the crazed look in his eye tells you he's almost excited by the prospect.

You huff increduously, "My weapons are tools of self-defense."

He lets out a humorless laugh, "There is no such thing as a weapon for self-defense, sweetie. Weapons are always made with the intent to hurt, to maim. You cannot enforce peace."

You swiftly crack the whip, using it to seize the chair in the corner by one of its legs. You pull it towards yourself, halting its acceleration with your foot. You turn it to face the prisoner and sit down, crossing your legs. You like putting on little shows like this for him. They are wholly eccentric and unnecessary, but often, they help loosening a stuck cog in his brain. Something to work with later on, as you continue your routine interrogation.

"You know, you used to tell me that your body is a weapon. What about your body then? Does it, too, only know to hurt and to maim?"

He seems a little taken aback, but shakes it off quickly. He snarls, gnashing his teeth at you like a wild beast.

You sigh. You snap your fingers and the chains holding him up to the ceiling clatter to the ground. He grunts in surprise as his heels touch the ground. He rubs his sore wrists, red eyes raking over you in intrigue.

"Aren't you arrogant, letting your prey loose like that." He scoffs.

He's trying to figure out if you're stupid or if you've got an ace up your sleeve.

"Sylus."

His ears perk up at the sound of his name, so foreign yet so familiar. Nowadays, it means nothing to him. He can't even recall it himself. And yet, your voice and that name resonate with a primal part of his soul, buried under the layers of madness and contamination.

"Who—"

"Sit."

His brain barely registers the command before his body acts on it. His knees give out and he falls to the ground. It's like his nerves are on fire. More than a prisoner of this cell, he now feels imprisoned in his own body. Like a spirit, tethered to a hollow, useless shell. He can barely form thoughts as his entire being responds only to you and your instruction.

"What... Did you..."

"It's my Evol. Everyone obeys me, whether they want to or not. You are no exception."

Sylus's mind is racing a million miles per minute, yet it feels completely standstill at the same time. He's trying to comprehend this power, gauge its limits, figure out its weaknesses. Pinpoint the loophole he can exploit to escape your grasp. Through the haze over his mind, he registers how your eyes have a knowing glint in them. Like you know exactly what he's thinking, like he's an open book to you.

Can you—

"I cannot read minds, no." You clarify before he can even attempt to voice the question.

He notices the whip is gone from your hands. Instead, you play with the baton, inspecting it as you ponder your prey.

"You must be thinking 'There has to be a weakness I can use to break free'. You always loved testing the limits of my ability."

You're answering his questions, yet your words leave him more confused than before. Always? When did he ever see you use your Evol? When has he strategised with it in mind?

A sensation like an electric current runs violently through his body, making his brain tingle as though it's going to pop. It hurts to think, yet he can almost taste all the answers he seeks. They are like blood on his tongue, reeking of iron.

He strains his neck to look you in the eyes.

Your gaze is so empty, as though you are looking through him. Miles into the distance at versions of him he can't recall.

"What if I told you..."

There's a buzzing in his ears, growing louder by the second.

"That we've had this exact conversation hundreds of times before?"

The buzzing halts to a complete silence. And the prisoner slumps to the floor, unconscious.

You stare at his limp body for a moment. Then, you get out of your chair and pull up your notepad.

Another failure.

Tommorow, you're circling back to the first ward. Let's see if there's going to be any progress there.

As you fill out your report, you hear the faint sound of wind rushing through the corridor. Of course, there is no wind in Nexos Prison. Cawing echoes through the cramped space and a single mechanical crow flies into the open jail cell.

Mephisto perches on your shoulder, peering at the tablet in your hands. Then, his eyes shift over to the unconscious, white-haired man on the floor. He lets out a soft caw, flicking his metal wings. Absentmindedly, you reach up to scritch his head, even if the robotic bird can't really feel anything, only simulate the joy of being pet.

"Don't worry, Mephie. He'll return to us."

[i-heartmiguelmora]

☆𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘏𝘊𝘚☆

loves to share all his space knowledge with you!!

ur the star of his life {space uh thingy ig..}

he got you guys matching bracelets 4 ur birthday {ofc they said stargirl and starboy.. they also glow in the dark}

gives you nicknames not pet names!! {he'd be to akward with pet names}

was reeeaally shy around you {he still is.. but not as much ig}

literally so shocked on how he pulled you or... who you pulled him?

really insecure abt himself he feels like he's not good enough 4 he bc ur likee waaaayyy more popular then him and way more known yk?

anyway he's such a baddie {nvm}

like robin you have to clean him up after he gets jumped or bullied..

was quiet but once you guys dated for awhile he warmed up then started talking more

he loves hanging out at your house {ifyky his dad..}

one time he let you do his makeup and lets just say.. uhh.. your never doing it again..

you draw stars over his scars <3 {not sh scars, scars left from being bullied..}

he's literally so adroable!!

he literally has insomnia..

literally always has eyebags..

After star Wars came out (1977) he was literally so obsessed it was all he could talk about..

he also stutters.. alot.

As soon as you introduced urself in science (bc y'all both have the same science class and were partners for a project) he was immediately like "c-call me finn.! "

clueless as shit.

since he's good at math ig..? he helps you with ur homework {if you arent *great* at math}

he likes candles..

his favorite candle scent his probably pumpkin spice bc of the fall kind of vibe yk?

for some of your dates instead of like going to the movies you go star gazing and he tells you about all the constellations

anyway thats it he's just there yk?

[barblaz-arts]

ok hii, so i (obviously) saw the chaggie fanchild, and OH MAH GOOD LORD I LOVE HER SO SO SO SO MUCH. shes precious?!?!! anywayyy, per usual, just wanted to make some fanart if thats alright with you! (I know you said people didnt have to ask, so this is more just a 'can i have a little more on her so i know what to do because creativity is dry and artblock is eating my ass'… heh.

Id love that!

Mm i dont have a lot to say about her appearance because I'm still figuring it out myself... Clothes wise, i mean. I think im perfectly happy with her actual physical characteristics. I definitely drew a lot of inspiration for the Beautiful Prince archetype for female characters in anime, like so

Or just the androgynous girl who gets mistaken as a guy quite often and just... Doesn't really give a fuck

Except all of the people Dani rizzes is totally by accident. Not a lot of confident bones in that body, I'm afraid. Her nervous lamb energy just bewitches every dom queer in the vicinity ig

I guess I could also tell you that one of the reasons why she's so insecure is because of her big sister. Dani loves her a lot, but she's also a little bit in her shadow. I'd known I wanted to make two children for Chaggie because I wanted their relationship and dynamic to be a meta commentary of the Hazbin fandom, where the demon citizens of Hell's view of each of the royal heirs heavily reflect how the fandoms view the largely favored characters versus the ones that aren't as popular.

EDIT: I FORGOT TO ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION! Vaggie was the one who got pregnant :D

[im-yn-suckers]

could you pls do nikixfem reader with 32a bra size? sfw, ofc!! likes shes insecure, but niki absolutely loves them!!!

wait, this is actually like nawww not my exact size dude too

warnings-bras, kissing, BOOBS, (im straight iswear) hugs, not fully nude but nude? ig, lmk what else

you were walking around the mall with your boyfriend. walking past victorias secret you, stopped. "wait! i need a new bra" tired of your cappuccino-colored bra with frayed edges, you were going to treat yourself with a new one you saw online, a super cute beige-cream colored one with strawberries printed on it.(i actually wish they had one like this ive never seen one)

you walked to the aisle with the strawberry bras and frantically checked for your size, "babe, its kind just a bra" "no, its not 'kind of just a bra' its super cute and have you seen the brown one, big no-no''

you were unpleasantly surprised to find that that there were non of the bras in your size. oh well, time to go home, with the same old cappuccino colored bra with the frayed edges.

you were changing into pajamas (nikis t shirt and sweats) in his room. now, the two of you were comfortable with anything, and literally anything.you twi moved in together and tonight, you were going to have a pj party!

looking at yourself in the mirror, you saw a body. with a pair of oversized, grey sweatpants, a cappuccino colored bra with frayed edges, and a long face.

cupping your breasts, you look down at them. 'why arent i at least a b cup? thats so pathetic.' you thought to yourself as you kept staring down at your chest. suddenly, you felt hair on your neck, skin against your back and cold metal near your bellybutton.

his silver rings sending shivers down your spine, meet your warm skin. 'whats the matter baby, why the long face?'

'nothing, just looking at how the pants fit'

'in just a bra, with your hands on your boobs? i dont think so. are you alright, youve been like this since we left victorias secret'

'im sure, just disappointed.' at this point you were turned around, with your arms around his bare neck

'm'kay, just checking' he pecked your lips holding your waist.

'come on, lets go to the living room.' he seemed rather eager to get to the living room

'i dont have a shirt on'

'and? its our house, no guests tonight. alright, tell you what, we can wear matching sweat and neither of us will wear a shirt'

'alright' you laughed and headed to the living room, without a shirt

a movie , two spilled drinks, one dropped cupcake and approximately 35 kisses later, he pulls out a small box from the corner closest to him.

'hey, i got you something' you open the gift with a smile on your face.

you smile and feel tears gather in your eyes. before you pull out the gift, he pulls you into a hug. you break the hug and laugh. 'where'd you find these'

'bought it online, i knew you'd like it.' 'thank you' 'now, you wont have to wear this one, i know you hate it. thats not why you were looking to the mirror though'

you avoided eye contact very awkwardly. no words were exchanged, only hugs. no words were needed

many movies later, there were two sleeping potatoes on the couch and netflix asking if you were still watching. no you werent, how were the potatoes sleeping, ask you may, definitely not with niki sleeping on your boobs. nope, not it.

no bc why is it actually o hard to find bras in my size

[tinrange]

Gelboys Thoughts 1

Zoom classes wow my eye just started twitching.

Blocking on spotify as the first move what 17 yr old was involved in the writing team ctfu.

07s in 10th grade... okay so that places the timeline of show uncomfortably close to my own graduation so this might make me spiral.

This ITSAY mirror moment. Boss Only knows how to make reflective work!

I love making the characters so sticker laden, thats exactly what 2022 felt like and it makes their insecurities starkly apparent when they attempt to cover them with vibrancy.

Google maps mention. So charming to have a show that cares to integrate technology as life.

Actually as springboard thats why i loved the blocking montage from earlier. Nothing is really over until youve released them from your circle and ousted them from your life, and robbing people of the ability to See You online is such a statement of intent even if you end up caving later on in person.

Finding someone on ig using the location tag. Okay this is getting real scurry.

Purposely liking someonee oldest pic to show interest is Nasty FIEND behavior. Run!!!!!!!

The stylization of the chargers just made my eyes well up with tears almost. Its indicative of how gently the production is treating their interior lives, everyones charger is different and vibrant just like their lives and these phones serve as points of contact to each other in more ways than one. Theyre gathered and theyre a Group.

Getting caught eavesdropping and watching through your phone so you pretend to take a photo. #real #beenthere #theyweretakingnotesfromme

Absolutely obsessed over the editing of this show, its as maximalist and overbearing as all feelings are in highschool. Emotions spill out of you at that age and the overbearing nature of them can be as blinding as all that neon and all these fast cuts.

Heard that this was filmed on phone and I love that in some scenes theres a conscious decision to allow it to be Phone Quality.

Chian is such a problem cryingggg

I really love how this show respects that social media is an extension of self for youth, and in doing so how it shows respect to a younger generation. A majority of highschool media now is created by those who had to come of age as technology became accessible without regard to how thats changed. Chian following Fou4mod is framed as a big deal because it is; if its not an exchange of accounts the act of following is never casual. You had to think of the person, find their account, and put yourself in the vulnerable position of being caught thinking of them. Online accounts as a barrier carry a weight thats often dismissed but this story cannot work without allowing this moment to have heft. If a follow is just a follow then situationships (like hes probably about to be in with Chian) cannot work, Chian showed his cards and made Fou4mod feel like he has less to lose because he took such an Important Step. Lesser shows have made fun of that step!

Thats all to say Chian is definitely a problem and he probably needs to get his ass whooped in the near future (^-^;

Chian barely follows anyone... hes true to this life unfortunately. My thoughts are with Fou4mod this is about to be a life altering relationship (Extremely Negative).

The iphone change has been taking me out like highschool really is about being a follower until youve carved an identity.

Watching it put to screen wow social media really did change dating into an intricate ritual bc i audibly groaned when he asked for the air drop... like no u cant be seen caring! Thats bad! We need to save the youth from this reality Every queer person must uninstall hinge now.

CHIAN IS SO SINISTER OMG SAVE FOU4MOD

"I'll let you know" "you can go first" girl i gotta turn this off now im breaking out in hives.

Playlist sharing to flirt... they were watching me edate in HS

I feel strangely emotional after watching that. There is such a dearth of television about the youth of people in mid genz who were in highschool or beginning uni during the pandemic. Every show produced and set in high school recently has been extremely nostalgic, set in a recent past, or almost out of time in a world where social media is not as important and COVID didnt fundamentally change communications and relationships as a whole.

As someone who spent a longer time in highschool than most people do, I dont think I've seen something so insightful since American Vandal. That show understood the slow nature of highschool in the later 2010s, it understood the uncomfortableness that lurks beneath your skin as a teenager and showcased it with that perpetually hazy and lazy filter that the soundcloud rap era felt like.

This show takes the exact opposite approach, COVID made all the teens and kids view technology As Them. A teenager in 2020 and 2021 was their phone because to take that away from them was to cut off any and all outside connection they had, something that was especially true for queer youth who already felt that alienation in their identity. Its lovely to see traces of that put to screen and treated with kindness, and it allows for the aesthetic maximalism to be justified through the sheer desperation they have to Truly Participate in life once again.

Really excited to watch this continue, I think its really funny how instead of ITSAYs longing and self flagellation (which was also extremely late 2010s) gelboys is fast moving and almost refuses to dwindle on their internal worlds so far, these teens just want to be out there doing things. The changed public life for kids directly after the pandemic and before the conservative pendulum swing is such a fun period to explore, I loved this first ep immensely.

[cutiejimmyballs]

me and 1 of my irls had a conversation abt the club in school because the lack of content about it and i wanna share my thots, mayhaps

bill is a physics guy, or just science classes in general. overall though i doubt he would actually gaf about school. bill does his work and leaves; he doesnt do extra credit, he doesn't study, he looks up the answers to homework. hes the kinda guy to use chatgpt for an essay and slightly edit it

josh is a history nerd guys, i feel it deep down inside me. i think he'd throw down a mean essay for ELA-- he could potentially write a good argumentative essay if he genuinely tried and didn't get caught up in whining about his side being the best, the day hes normal hes gonna chew you all

pete likes ELA. hes good at literary analysis and comprehension, he reads classic horror guys. he cant write a good essay to save his life. him and bill both THINK they can write a good argumentative essay but its full of strawmans, incorrect information, insults, and whining. he'd probably suck balls at math and complain about it all the time. like bill i also see him not doing extra credit, studying, and he wouldn't even attempt homework-- also slightly related but if he wasnt such a fag i think hed do tech theatre. i can see him telling the actors he works harder than they do. hed do technical design, costuming, and makeup (and maybe help build set.) hes way too insecure tho and i doubt his family would even let him

jerry enjoys algebra and geometry. i dont think he'd like reading but he's definitely great at creative writing, he DMs for the club. he could probably write a nice informational essay and i imagine josh could too (bill and pete could if its something they like.) like pete i imagine jerry is also a closeted theatre kid but instead he acts. jerry is great at improv, he DMs for the club. he would love improv games and being ensemble or having small parts but hate being main cast. like pete he doesn't actually do it though, just potentially, he calls theatre gay even though he enjoys it a lot. the club would also clown him too hard. also jerry would probably have a crush on one of his teachers

thats all ig <\33 i might delete out of embarrassment later, i js had to share chz i think abt this a lot

✮⋆˙ He really LOVES your style, clothing and makeup, ESPECIALLY your makeup, but if its before you two date he didnt admit it so he did some kind of teasing because this man was too embarrassed to tell you that he finds your "style" attractive, so instead of owning up to it he would call you "edgelord".

✮⋆˙ I think he would have complimented you without you knowing before you guys got into dating, like you know those scenes in enemies to lovers films where one of the enemies goes "you look pretty" and the other asks "huh?" and the one that said the compliment would go "i said you look shitty!"? that was you two.

✮⋆˙ I think he would be a bit of a grandpa sometimes, dont get me wrong, he knows what goth is but sometimes he may ask some questions out of pure curiosity, like: "So... do u do rituals?" and stuff, basically thinking you are into witch craft (and he will be extra convinced if you are a Victorian goth)

✮⋆˙ Ok, when you two started dating he would be ALL OVER YOU, complimenting your outfit, makeup, hair and whatever you have on, he's just head over heels on your subculture, he finds it so pretty.

✮⋆˙ I think he would be a bit flabbergasted when he first saw you without your goth makeup and fit, like he would find it a little strange when you are just wearing non-goth comfy clothes, because he got too used to you with your goth fits.

✮⋆˙ Teach him about gothic music, dances and etc and he will be 100% invested, like he would just be kicking his feet like a teenage girl while you ramble about the goth culture and its story, he really likes it.

✮⋆˙ Would probably secretly try to listen to your favorite bands, just so he could talk about them to you and he would probably like it tbh, i can see him liking those type of music tbh.

✮⋆˙ Offer him a makeover and he will just accept, say no less, like you could just text him about the makeover, he could be on the other side of the world and he would just pop into your house and be like "lets go." (OMG GOTH SMG3 AKJEKWNEKSJDJRB)

✮⋆˙ One time he tried doing his own goth makeup to surprise you but it looked like he melt grease on his face and a bird shitted all over his face, it looked pretty funny but you found it very sweet.

✮⋆˙ If someone say something about your way to dress he would either just let you stand up for yourself or he would just straight up bully the person saying that they are just mad you are way cooler and prettier than them and that they wish to be so talented like you to do your makeup.

✮⋆˙ If you are or get a bit insecure to go dressed in goth in public, he would reassure you are pretty no matter what you are wearing, that you look stunning in black/red and any other color and that if someone dared to open their mouth about you he would kick their ass for you.

✮⋆˙ He just loves you no matter what <3

✮⋆˙ "Yo, look at my partner, arent they cool?"

idk if i want my fic to include a kazuha x reader x xiao love triangle or an aether x reader x xiao love triangle (briefly, its a xiao x reader fanfic at the end of the day)

also you/reader same thing 👍🏼

some avenues i thought of exploring (pls lmk what sounds best)

Kazuha x Reader x Xiao

kazuha n you are exes. kazuha dumped you to hoe around but he still flirts w you. xiao and ganyu are cousins. ganyu and kazuha are dating, xiao and you are in a band together

you do NOT know ganyu and kazuha are dating, but xiao does (he won't tell u tho bc why would he anyways)

fwb relationship w xiao that ends up turning into a situationship n the whole "what are we" thing ensues which makes you n xiao fight.

you (maybe) under the influence OR highly upset thus finding comfort in kazuha

so kazuha ends up CHEATING on ganyu with you (yup it'll be a freaky thing too)

ganyu gets UPSET asf and whole lot more drama i wont spoil

xiao gets EVEN MORE UPSET but it highk his fault too so wompwomp

xiao and kazuha fist fight

you leave the band, hit rock bottom, drop an album, join the band back after you n xiao have a heart to heart.

the end ??

Aether x Reader x Xiao

obv kazuha still gonna be meddling in your life and ganyu still gonna hate ur guts

but now youre getting closer to the band and catch the eye of the leader of the band (aether) and emo heartthrob (xiao)

aether n xiao realize that they both like you but decide to stay homies and not get competitive over you.

"whatever happens, happens"

aether cant wait no more tho and he hits on you first + you both kinda become a thing ??

he never asked u out, just stay in the "talking" stage.

but then youre like "mmm nah im not rlly feelin it :("

aether and you stay friends hard asf but ofc hes got lingering feelings (that he'll get over eventually)

xiao distances himself when he sees how close u and aether got from the moment he asked you out but when u dump aether you go to xiaos for comfort

and ofc we stupid girlies so we fuck xiao and have a fucked up fwb kinda thing going on

bc it hurts to tell aether that u fucked his best friend (xiao dont wanna tell him that he basically fucked the girl they both wanted anyways) you both just keep up the lie

then through the grapevine (aka yunjin) aether finds out abt you n xiao basically betraying him so u leave the band

same ending basically but you win your bff + your bf back after being the worst human alive

surprise heres some more thoughts

Yunjin x Reader x Xiao

yunjin is the toxic ex to xiao

yunjin lowk hates u and manipulates you to get info on the band for her (but ur like "oh yeah we chillin we made a song about a random wednesday watching the snow fall")

ofc she haunts xiao so when she notices that he started to develop feelings for you, she hooks up with you !! (wlw rep in a hopeless place ig)

she only slept w you to make xiao hate you but it just made him hate her even more

ofc xiao hates that so she gets confronted

ngl out of all the 'routes' this one would be the most "drama free" save for your dad getting hospitalized and xiaos dad going to jail forever

some extras that ive been debating on/will try to weave into the fic

xiao not developing feelings for reader until well into their fwb relationship and reader is still going on dates w stupid people

yunjin manipulating behind the scenes will be present in all routes

kazuha meddling will be present as well as an attempt to cheat on ganyu w reader as soon as he feels reader is frfr moving on from him

readers dad being hospitalized and xiaos dad going to jail will happen regardless as well

hutao x yanfei canon

if we land on something other than the aether x reader x xiao thing, then venti has a secret crush on aether (aether is pan, i will hear no arguments)

no love triangles? thats ok. yunjin made xiao so insecure that during your fwb relationship he wonders if late nights with you would be the closest he'd ever get to your heart. ultimately xiao ends up fighting with you and calling you a "slut" when you were just trying to meet him halfway and you leave the band saying "im no longer talking to xiao" which makes XIAO HIT ROCK BOTTOM (he becomes an alcoholic and wont shower, only to feed his cat and smoke)

then you drop a whole diss album on your relationship with xiao (its just a bunch of beabadoobee songs i alr have the playlist). surprisingly you win xiao back by singing how youre moving on from him and you both live happily ever after.

anyways pls lmk if you have any other suggestions or questions . trust i am OPEN

HC OF GLISTEN OMG

Yeah so, as the btch i am and how i LOVE making my fav character suffer :3 heres the headcanon- Y'all know abt the letter of his room, and his description of him overworking himself in the wiki. Yes YES angst i love it. But heres the headcanons based on wtv is going on: 1- Glisten kinda uses make up to cover some eyebags, by overworking himself at nights trying to practice the reflection trick (ik hes a mirror and that won't kinda work much but i just thinked it would be cool) 2- He haves a secret diary where he puts all his real emotions there. 3- He have nightmares of being alone (poor pookie 💔) idk guys make ur ideas of the nightmares- 4- The only person who knows abt the overworking and some insecurity of him not being perfect is Rodger (Actually canon), but maybe Razzle & Dazzle and/or Boxten gets to know this eventually- 5- Since is a desing wich that comes from dhis originally, i think he maybe have some traumatic experience in some part of his live idk? (not sure abt this one) Anyway thats all ig, this is literally my first post sooo boing :3 and im sorry if my english is not perfect pls correct me if im wrong 💔

Anon Advice Asks - April 6

empathy anon (new), sunrise anon, get over anon (new), thoughts anon, tomato anon

empathy anon

hi cas!

i have this friend who is low empathy. he has said it many times and explained it to me and i do get it, but also, sometimes he just idk insults me ig?

he will say i need to change my appearance (jokingly, but he’s still dragging up old insecurities in unpleasant ways), and 90% of the time when i ask for help from him, he says “it’s not that hard” or smth like that. he judges me and says i just need to “try harder”

it’s frustrating. i don’t feel comfortable failing around him, and he is genuinely such a lovely person, but sometimes he makes me feel like shit

i think if i told him it would just go back to the fact that he’s low empathy, but i still feel like thats not an excuse to treat me poorly idk though

Hi!

I think what you said last, about it not being an excuse to treat you poorly, is exactly right. People have different levels of empathy and that's completely fine. Sometimes I have trouble having empathy, too. But that doesn't give anyone the right to say rude things. Low empathy doesn't cause the inability to shut up lol. I think he needs to learn to say "Hey, I'm probably not the right person to talk to about this" rather than saying hurtful things.

Honestly I think you should tell him hes being hurtful and if he continues to be, then you need to take a step back. Empathy aside, friends don't treat friends like that.

Sending love <3

Sunrise anon

hiiiii first of all, sunrise anon is a beautiful name and I love it

It’s fine that it took you a bit to respond! I assumed that tumblr ate up my ask so it was nice to know it wasn’t. Strange that it only just appeared in your inbox though lol

I didn’t end up going to any of my classes, I was very emotional for that entire day, literally could not stop crying. It would of been embarrassing but luckily my parents were very understanding about the situation as this was not the first time it has happened. It bad never been that bad though. My worst nights are usually when I get around 1-2 hours so they’re used to dealing with me being pretty sleep deprived.

I do not currently have a set night-time routine but I am working on it. I try get into bed at the same time every night, and then I try go to sleep at the same time every night, it’s not always successful but it’s quite nice to have set chill time yk

Since then I’ve been much better. Actually I’m sleeping really well, I’m not used to it, it’s amazing. Nobody told me sleep could be so restful. I thought that entire thing was a myth. But no! It’s true! What a world we live in

Anyway, thanks Cas! Really appreciate everything you do

Also I love all your microfics, they are often the highlight of my day <3

Hi!

I'm so glad you've been sleeping better lately! Remember that a bedtime routine isn;t just going to bed at a certain time, but having certain things you like to do before bed-- reading, washing your face, listening to music, etc. If you do those things habitually, then on those nights when you don't feel tired, you can try those things to sort of trick your mind into feeling tired.

I hope you continue to sleep well!

get over anon

how do I get over someone? It has nearly been a year now…

Hi <3

I think you have to be gentle to yourself. Feelings aren't linear and they can take a lot of time to evolve. Have you tried allowing yourself to feel and exploring those feelings? Journal, draw, sing, things like that, to express those emotions, rather than stifle them, you know?

thoughts anon

Hey Cas, I need fic writing advice

It's my first fic (The Cruel Prince au), and a lot of canon facts are changed as I see fit. To the point that people may not like reading it. I've written the prologue and the first two chapters but I'm yet to publish it (on AO3 ofc). I'm uncertain on how to go about this, what tags come in what chronology and what can be classified as a trigger warning. I don't want to be ignorant or disrespectful in any way, and this fic is kind of like my baby so I kind of want to post it but I'm also wary.

-thoughts anon

Hi <3

So I'm very gently going to say that you're overthinking this. You're thinking way too much about your audience and not enough about you. Who cares if certain people don't like reading it? Write it for YOU. As far as tags, again...tag what you want! What do YOU think is important to tag? And for TWs, what did you write about that you have seen warned about in the past? Normally the major ones are SA, death, SH, SI...but you know your writing best.

I know this is your baby and you want it to be perfect, but you can always add and change things as you go <3 Do this for YOU. What would you as a reader want your fic to look like?

You can do this!

Tomato anon

Well, hello there! It's tomato anon.

Been a while since we talked. Thought I'd catch you up.

My friend is fine, doing way better. Figured myself out, so that's good. I'm greysexual, and I've changed my pronouns a little bit. Also got myself a boyfriend, if you can believe it.

Life's good, and I'm very thankful for the advice you shared with me.

Hi! I'm so glad things are good, congratulations on the boyfriend!! It makes me so happy to know things are good with you!

Have a good day! <3
