see now I feel the need to say that I am not, nor have ever been, against jayvik domestic post-canon AUs, please, they absolutely deserve to be domestic and live quietly and peacefully and just enjoy each other's company in that streamside cottage. the number of cottage fics I've read could, in fact, fill a cottage. let them bake cupcakes together, per harry lloyd. that's why we want them to have survived post-canon in the first place, so they can just fuck off and be happy together. like i'm also not against feminizing him in the general conceptual sense, of course, explore, do what you want, i'm not the fandom police. all I was saying was that making the skinny white guy in the ship be feminine practically by default is a bit trite and tropey, as well as heteronormative to think one of them needs to be feminine at all. just an assumption to think about before automatically drawing him all waiflike when he doesn't actually act that way in canon. femininity isn't bad, geez louise, it's just about the extremes to which things are taken, not the concept itself. I get equally peeved when Jayce is made to be more masculine than he canonically is (like making him a stud jock in college AUs just because of his physique when it's completely ooc). exaggerating perceived differences in a pairing so they can be opposites, diametrically opposed for the sake of it, which to me is the reductive part. there, i'm done, goodbye finally, this has raised my blood pressure way too much this week and I think I need to start only checking twitter once or twice a day because the algorithm is starting to shove fandom vitriol at me from people waaay outside my follow circle. perils of large fandoms. go have fun. mage viktor would want them to enjoy their cottage life. he needs to go water husk jayce's flowers now.

I was blown away by your pieces in the sfw coffee & cream zine!!!
Your Kane piece. It’s absolutely so wonderful. It’s such a great blend of the vibes of both the books and movie, the losing of reality and the fighting/acceptance of it. The prose was immaculate.
Your Steven fic made me laugh out loud, Steven who looked like colonel sanders and “didn’t get a say in all the bits" aka: stop giving me shit. He absolutely would make a huge mess (that arguable could've been avoided if he'd left, but we don't want him to leave, really) but stay to help clean up!!!
Seriously, thank you so much for writing these!!!!
Pffff this is the nicest comment. I haven’t had anyone else mention the fanzine yet! Tysm, it means a lot to me.
Tumblr media
For Kane, I wanted a blend of beauty and horror. It being us following an unreliable narrator against the very nature of Area X. I loved the vivid geography in the movies, but the weirdness of the books is too good not to pass up. It was a lot of fun diving into Kane’s failing sense of identity, his final acceptance into believing he’s no longer who he was when he first started the expedition. The ‘otherness’ to them makes me question if it’s really Kane we see in the end at all, or if he was switched to Shimmer Kane somewhere along the way. If I’d have had a higher wordcount, I’d have definitely fleshed this out more. I love this feral man I s2g
Tumblr media
That Steven fic seriously turned out to be one of my favourites to write! I’m more of a 3rd person writer in my day-to-day and wanted to challenge myself with a different writing style while also making it all a little more comedic than my usual nonsense. Steven is a lighthearted character. Even in a fight, he’s got a bounce in his step and a sharp tongue. I really wanted that side of him to show while the reader was experiencing a no good very bad day hahaha. Their back-and-forth banter was the first thing that came out in that first draft. The story developed through their interactions with each other. The last thing that was finally changed was how the Jackal died, that one surprised even me. I was fully anticipating Steven to come up with the plan to get the Jackal away. Him tripping and being a dork about it was way more fitting. Reader gotta save themselves sometimes XD
Seriously. Thank you for reading, and an even bigger ty for reaching out. That fanzine was so much fun to be a part of. Hope we cross paths again in the future!

ty @vivathewilddog for tagging me to share a few sentences of what i'm writing! i s2g im getting close to finishing this fucking thing but in the meantime have some horny tension
The game is—well, fucking boring, honestly, once the Jets decide they’re gonna slowly grind Pittsburgh into dust. Even Matthew doesn’t seem to be paying much attention, bending and straightening one of his legs as he chews his hoodie strings and glances between his phone and the TV screen. Not even a third-period fight is enough to get either of them to look up for longer than a few seconds.
“We can change it,” Leon points out after Matthew makes an annoyed sigh as Pittsburgh squanders yet another perfectly good loose puck.
“It’s fine,” Matthew says, glancing down at his phone again, bringing his free hand up to his mouth and worrying at one of his cuticles with his teeth. Gross, absolutely, but Leon watches Matthew’s thumb tap the ridge of his top teeth and imagines sliding his own thumb in next to Matthew’s. Hooking it behind Matthew’s teeth, holding Matthew’s mouth open. Maybe Matthew would suck on Leon’s thumb with his tongue. Maybe he’d look at Leon with that way that he has, like he knows exactly how to worm his way under Leon’s skin, throwing down an unspoken challenge that Leon has no choice but to meet. All while his lips would be red and slick with spit, cheeks hollow, and maybe instead of Leon's thumb it could be—
“Dude.”
Leon jolts as Matthew’s foot catches him in the calf, a swift, hard kick. “What the fuck?”
Matthew rolls his eyes. His hand is nowhere near his mouth anymore, and Leon can’t tell whether to be disappointed or relieved. Maybe both. “Don’t what the fuck me. You’re the one staring off into space.”
Leon’s face is radiating heat. He quickly looks at his phone—which is locked, screen dark, but Matthew doesn’t have to know that. “Whatever.”
Another sharp kick, this time to his ankle. Leon yelps, then flails blindly until he finds something to elbow. Judging by the oof of breath, it was Matthew’s stomach. “Fucking stop,” Leon hisses before pulling away—except he’s not pulling away, because now Matthew’s grabbing his arm, practically yanking it out of his fucking socket, the asshole. “You stop being weird,” Matthew retorts breathlessly as one of his legs hooks around Leon’s, like he’s not the one trying to make sure Leon doesn’t have a right arm anymore.
And then there’s no time for retorts, because if the only thing that’s gonna stop Matthew is an arm around the windpipe, then that’s what Leon’s gonna do. Somewhere under them is Leon’s phone, and also the remote digging into Leon’s hip, but the discomfort of plastic punching into his stomach is nothing compared to the rush of adrenaline as Leon tries to hook an elbow around Matthew’s neck and drag him into a headlock, as Matthew clamps his thighs around Leon’s leg and tries to twist them both nearly onto the floor. “Stop,” Leon’s saying, even as Matthew pants back, “you stop, you fucker,” and his breath is hot against the skin of Leon’s neck, and abruptly Leon’s entire spine melts into a puddle of red-hot goo as his brain paints new images on the back of his eyelids: them, like this, but there’s no clothes, no barriers; them, like this, but instead of clutching Matthew’s hoodie Leon’s clutching his bare shoulders; them, like this, but when Matthew twists his hips for leverage Leon can shove a thigh between his legs. Them, like this, but when Leon searches for Matthew’s mouth so he can bite into it, Matthew lets him.
Leon rears back, letting go of Matthew’s neck as his eyes fly open. He still can’t go very far, not given the tangle of limbs that they’re in, but he tries to put at least a few inches between himself and where Matthew is also blinking into awareness, cheeks red and hair tangled and mouth dropping open. Leon stares at that mouth, heart beating so loud that he wonders if Matthew can hear it. Matthew’s lips are so pink, and there’s a slight gap between his top two teeth, and Leon wants with bone-shaking fervency to see if Matthew would let him rest his fingers on Matthew’s tongue.
It is only with great reluctance that Leon is able to make himself look up, look Matthew in the eye. Where Matthew is looking back at him, chest heaving as he catches his breath, eyes wide with surprise and dark with what could almost be hunger.
A burst of noise from the TV. Commercial break. They startle, jumping even further apart.
i can't keep track of who has or hasn't been tagged but consider this me asking you to post something!

Ffffffuck I am so close to finishing editing Chapter 20. I s2g it has gone kicking and screaming the whole way. It’s probably taken me the most time out of all of them so far.
It also ended up getting an extra 1k words too… orz
I still have 1/3ish left to edit, so not sure if it’s gonna go up tonight still or tomorrow.
I’m gonna hedge my bets on tomorrow but we’ll see how much longer I’m awake lol.
Was really hoping to get back on track with posting on time this week, but it will be the better for it...
T^T Greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and support!!!

I'm gonna turn that meme around on you: Venti and Jean? :>
(ask meme)
Ty :D
Honestly my answers will sort of be an inversion of yours: Jean as someone I really appreciate but I'm not actively into and Venti as unhealthy obsession and fandom bicycle. (Thanks for introducing me to that term, lol.)
Jean
How I feel about her: I don't brainrot over her for her own sake, but as my de facto main in co-op, the permanent healer in my overworld team, and one of Mondstadt's most important characters I'm very fond of her. She deserves more breaks. So so much.
Her design fascinates me too; if you use the alt version of her default outfit it looks very modest and like everything's covered when she's standing still, only for more skin to be exposed on her upper torso when you run or otherwise move around. It feels like a visual reflection of how she hides/suppresses the more human, emotional parts of herself to perform her role.
Romantic ships: I'm not actively into any but Jean/Lisa just makes sense to me. Lisa is such a fun character to bounce off her. You've got me intrigued about Jean/Eula and Jean/Kaeya as well, and I should look into Jean/Diluc too.
I s2g her voice lines make her sound like she's starting to have a crush on Traveller too. That could be really wholesome; they could periodically show up in Mond, speedrun solving a ton of citizens' problems, and whisk her off to beautiful corners of Teyvat she'd never dream of having time to visit otherwise. And they both have sibling issues... I'm selling myself on this as I type it, dear lord.
Platonic OTPs: All of the above are also wonderful platonically. Also Jean and Venti!! God!!! I neeeed more interactions between them; it's a massive shame the game never showed us Jean or Diluc processing the Venti-Barbatos reveal and the religious crisis that would definitely cause. Especially for Jean! I wish this oneshot was a longer multichapter so badly.
I'm fascinated by the idea of them having a lot in common under the surface, especially if we compare Jean to how Venti may have been in Mond's cultivation period. Even their outfits have a lot of design elements in common!
Additionally, considering her parallels with/idolisation of Vennessa, I love the idea of Venti having unresolved guilt/unprocessed trauma about whatever happened to Vennessa in the end + maybe her overworking herself for Mondstadt until her death, and him screaming internally watching Jean go down the same path. I can't get enough of fics where he helps her relax for once. The two of them should go on some long field trip where they coax each other into acknowledging they're people that feel things.
Unpopular opinion: Not sure I have any! I'm not familiar with general fandom opinions about her but I'd be surprised if I saw someone severely mischaracterising her, tbh. She doesn't feel like a difficult character to grasp. Maybe my perception's skewed since I tend to obsess over human dumpster fires, though.
Something I wish would happen: mainly (gestures at the platonic section), but seconding you that we need her to make progress with Barbara too. I'd love to see her be dragged into more shenanigans with Diluc as well, though I'm biased as a combined-Diluc-and-Jean main.
Venti
How I feel about him: I probably need help with the amount I think about this goddamn character. I didn't truly understand the term 'comfort character' until I started obsessing over him. I project onto him a bit too much and I want to emotionally smash him to bits and scrape him together again.
Even without the brainrot, he's just fascinating; he's clearly a significant character that will almost certainly be tied to massive lore drops later on, and the vague hints about him having time powers mean that even the way he fundamentally experiences reality can be theorised about with wildly different ideas being equally valid.
He has me freezing up at every damn mention of wind and/or time and/or music in this god-forsaken game. And there are a lot of them.
Romantic ships: as I said, he's the fandom bicycle for me. Everyone gets a ride. I especially love zhongven in multiple permutations, and their longevity means fanworks for other Venti ships can easily slot in past zhongven as well. Otherwise I really like kaeven, I used to be more into diluven but kaeven has completely eclipsed it for me, and I'm really intrigued about the potential of furiven as well (though I usually approach that platonically).
Non-romantic OTPs: any of the above if not being done romantically, plus Venti+Jean and Venti+Vennessa (see Jean's section lmao) and Venti+everyone in old mond- especially NB and RHW. And I really really want to see him interact with Furina. There are so many people he either has a fascinating relationship with already or has potential to.
While it's not a ship, I find the idea that he's slept with the Tsaritsa at least once pre-fallout very funny.
Edit: Venti having a non-reciprocated crush on Vennessa is interesting as well.
Unpopular opinions: I'm not sure I have any in a tumblr fandom context? Maybe that any ships between him and a mortal who's grown up worshipping him (like diluc/venti, jean/venti, etc) would be a lot more of an emotional minefield for both parties than people tend to explore, with the mortal having to go through a religious crisis while Venti clearly just wants to be treated like a person + could be paranoid as hell about whether their consent to anything is genuine.
That's not a criticism of those ships, though! The opposite, actually. I'd love to see a long fic that really digs into that.
Something I wish would happen: ...there are so many things I could put here. The main ones are a) a Venti-is-Barbatos reveal (and maybe a reveal of his darker secrets, like any abyss ties) to all of Mondstadt, forcing him to stop avoiding his problems for once, and b) for Venti to be pushed into a corner and/or go apeshit and reveal just how much he was lying about his power level.
I need a Vennessa-Venti reunion as well. Please please please.

More on: “I’m so surprised more people don’t evaluate and compare & contrast Kaiba and Diva in relation to each other more often”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm looking at these pics side by side and either KT just straight up has a type of fav character design that he can’t shake himself out of OR this was on purpose to draw parallels between the two making them seem like shadow figures of each other/rivals/foils--
Both have a sleeveless coat, high collar, dramatic coat tail, pendant (or at least, I still solidly believe that KT just forgot to give Kaiba’s his, or perhaps you could argue that it missing has a symbolic reason or maybe to contrast with Sera and Diva who both have a small triangle pendant, turtleneck
Kaiba: silver/gray metal arm bracers, nothing special with hair sans when he’s dueling the duel gazer/headset is on his left, kneepads, belt, and his coat has the little spikes at the waist creating the flair of the spikes at his waist
Diva: gold bracelets, decorated hair with the longer strand on his right, wrapped fabric at the waist, spikes/flair at the end of his sleeves Also, nice framing with them literally in an inverted stance toward each other. And while on the Seto’s side it’s just himself and Mokuba against the rest of the world on Diva’s side he has all the kids that have joined the Plana at his back.
Like, I’m not an artist or visual director but all of these things are almost so 1:1 I highly doubt that we WEREN’T supposed to draw these connections. This seems to be visual cues galore.
And then for the meta/story side because I am first and foremost a story and writing evaluator:
When you really stop to think about it Diva and Kaiba are remarkably good character foils of each other with a lot of the same yet different methods, actions, flaws, weaknesses, and goals/motivations.
Motivations/Goals (those outside the main conflict of the film): Diva wants to create a new perfect dimension, a Utopia collective consciousness that the Plana would create and guide others to (this is more explicitly stated in the sub). And the Shadi and revenge thing, but more on that later.
Kaiba, (again most explicitly stated in the sub with Kaiba’s pre-tournament speech about how the new Duel Disk is meant to bridge the gap between people of all race/country/creed/etc. and the Transcend Game Manga) is trying to achieve a similar thing with his games and the duel disk. He states how the body is like a prison and these barriers between people lead to bloody useless wars. His connection via games is meant to escape that. He has a bunch of kids as the beta testers for their minds are the most imaginative. Kaiba is reaching for his own collective consciousness here but in a very different way.
Methods: Diva has complete confidence in the power of the Plana. He’s been told by Shadi about this great power and has seen it in action before he even receives the Quantum Cube himself. Diva and the rest of the Plana has seen that utopia the power of the Plana can provide (and Sera even showed Yugi a glimpse of it) but there is still that level of uncertainty in the creation of this new dimension. Sera states after Diva has gotten corrupted by the ring that the Cube has the power to create a new shining world of light, but if one drop of darkness gets in there the whole thing can be corrupted.
Kaiba has complete confidence with his tech. It is a simple equation of A + B = C. It may take it a while to get there, but there is a steady and succinct step-by-step process in his mind on how to get to point A to point B. And if he runs into a roadblock one way he explores another solution--as seen by when the Dimension Ascension had its safety limits in the World of Duel Links his focus became entirely on the puzzle, and then from the puzzle to the Duel Dimension System (it’s not a time machine i s2g if I see that one more time I will sCream. Atem recognizes him. He wouldn’t if it’s a time machine. It’s the darkside of dimensions, not the darkside of time travel). Kaiba’s methods are calculated and testable. There’s a scientific process to his approach.
Actions: They have very similar goal when it comes to the wider global scope, and yet intact that goal in different ways, despite both believing they are right in their own solutions even though this point never came up between them (but did between Diva and Yugi). Diva has seen paradise and that’s all he’s interested in until Yugi challenges him about building that paradise with everyone instead of gifting it to a few.
Aside from that conflict point though, Diva and Kaiba are pretty similarly ham-fisted when it comes to their actions once the plot of DSoD kicks off. Kaiba stomps around Domino City as he sees fit, he faces his challenges head on. And he is pretty clearly 100000% done with magical things running his tournaments and creates a counter for both of Diva’s Plana powers without much of a snag.
The Duel: Then of course they duel each other. And in this direct challenge they are pretty evenly matched. Kaiba, who the audience knows is a powerful duelist at this point dishes out powerful attack after powerful attack and even has new, stronger monsters to fight with. Yet Diva finds a way to avoid or redirect those attacks, even being bold enough to have an attitude that feels like he’s toying with Kaiba. While few others can go toe to toe with Kaiba in a duel the match was heavily going in Diva’s favor until Seto managed to summon Obelisk by picking up with the trace memories/wavelengths in the tomb.
Death and grieving: Both of them are trying to deal with the fallout of the death of someone that played a big role in their lives, but how each of their plotlines resolve for this are opposite at the end. Despite Diva’s actions to try and get rid of Bakura being against everything Shadi taught him and the rest of the Plana kids and even Sera and Manny trying to talk him down from it he doesn’t listen. Diva gets so caught up in the pain he’s feeling instead of what he knows. He’s eager to be able to blame someone for Shadi’s death he’s ignoring that Ryou Bakura is likely not the same as the ring spirit. But when confronting Ryou and realizes the truth he can’t ignore it anymore and he lets Ryou go and the glow of the cube fades. (Remember, it was the appearance of the corrupted Manny that caused the banishment of Ryou, not Diva himself, I see this getting mixed up quite a bit) And then he is able to start to fully move past his fixation on revenge.
But Kaiba hasn’t been able to make that progress himself. Even after Yugi reassembles the puzzle himself and shows it’s empty Seto keeps hounding Yugi, spitting cruel words and still refusing to believe that Atem isn’t still within Yugi. Then, even after Atem temporarily returns that isn’t enough for him to complete his grieving process, he finds a way to travel across dimensions for one last duel.
Flaws: Seto and Diva share some weaknesses in their ambition, ego, and arrogance yet at the same time it’s a situation of the pot calling the kettle black. Due to their own respective power they both think they’re invincible. Diva shittalks Kaiba’s egotistical actions of taking over Domino City and creating his own version of a collective consciousness within Duel Links. But Diva is doing a similar thing himself by how he’s dictating who should have the right to exist and even erasing people just for standing in his way like Jounouchi. Yet at the same time Diva thinks the power of the Plana is unstoppable and plain incompressible to anyone who is not apart of it--something that he gets a rude awakening for when Kaiba deflects his attempt to distillate him in the tomb and then later when Diva gets captured.
And then Kaiba gets knocked down a peg when his duel with Diva is a close one and then again when he has to team up with Yugi in order to defeat Diva’s corrupted form.
The character paths Diva and Seto are on through dsod are very similar. The characters are alike, but different. They have plenty in common to draw comparison to yet also differences that foil each other many steps of the way. And I just find this neat ™ and am surprised there isn’t more talk about these two in relation to each other when there’s so much crossover and they’re honesty the main two opposing forces of the film. Like there is so much going on here  TwT
