[zeldaelmo]

Hellooo

I'm looking for good Zelink AU fics. I've already read all of yours, so.

Do you have a rec list or some fic you'd like us to try? Zelink in modern setting, fantasy anything but canon lmao (I've read too much of that)

BTW have you read Hit list by zestycrouton? It's high-school au and pretty old fic from ff.net. One of the best fics, all characters so well developed, it felt like you're watching a movie before your eyes. Yeah, I highly recommend.

Ah, thank you for reaching out and what an honor that you've read all my AUs! 🥰

So, here we go. I try to stick to stories that haven't been recommended over and over.

My friend @deiliamedlini writes a lot of AUs. I'm linking the Pirate AU, but there are tons of others, too. Some get dark, and don't think she won't kill characters off just because they've grown on you. 😂

Speaking of Pirates, my friend @mistresslrigtar also has one. She also has an ongoing rock star AU that I also recommend!

If you're looking for something short, you should check out @ladyhoneydee 's work. She writes a lot of modern AU and everything comes with a manageable word count! This is a sweet coffee shop AU, but she has tons of others, too.

If you're more looking for stories that have that 'game feel' but are based on own ideas, I'll direct you to @nocturnalfandomartist's blog(s). She has several AUs going on, with concept art and all!

I've only started to explore @abbyz-elda 's work but what I read so far I enjoyed greatly. Currently listening to this one with my screen reader when I'm out running, but I recommend the Sci Fi AU 'A Link to the Stars', too.

Next on my read list is @flutefemme's TP 1920th AU. I read enough of Flute's fics and snippets from this one that I'm confident to recommend before reading.

Another friend who loves AUs is @louwhose. Recommending this one because it's the last I read:

I also enjoyed @sparklyhyperbole 's fairy AU and the ongoing fic.

And last but not least, Puppy Love by @liv-andletdie .

I'm very, very sure I've forgotten a ton of authors and stories, so please reblog and add your own recommendations and/or self recs!

More about Hit List under the cut. TW: mentions of school shootings.

I skipped Hit List as one of the few fics when I went through all the zelink fics on ff.net and Ao3. I heard that the characterizations etc are really good, but since it's about a school shooting, I didn't want to read it. I'm not doing well with violence in general, and a story that deals with any aspects of a school shooting is not what I want to read for fun. That being said, that obviously doesn't say anything about the quality of the fic and isn't supposed to discredit the story in any kind. I heard others enjoy it greatly. It's just not for me. 😊

Time to have C!Techno headcannons!!!

Heyo, seems like finally I reached my 2nd favorite cc ever! I think techno's character is REALLY interesting, with great writing and details and I can definitely add some hc of my own in there, so without further ado, let's go!

(btw @syndicatedsystem you might like some of my headcannons involving Jschlatt and Techno I talk about here so yeah! Also feel free to discuss em' with me or make asks abt it, hell your blog inspires me a lot)

(I lost the name of the artist if anyone knows please tell me)

• Techno has some braids in his hair, the longer, the more he values the person

Longest: Philza, it's braided with gold details

2nd longest: Ranboo, has a amethyst crystal for purple

Mid-term: Wilbur, he braided it in consideration of a battle friend and some good times with Will, he doesn't hate or likes Wilbur, but still can't deny they do have a connection

Shortest: Tommy.

• Techno prepared a space in the cabin for Tommy in case some day, his demons and the hell he was looking for, finally was found, he'd welcome Tommy with open arms, since he'd view that the kid suffered enough and had the time to change and face any consequences he'd need to face, the space is safe, always available, but, he'd never tell Tommy that, he keeps it hidden, he's not ready to be vulnerable to the demon child again and openly say Tommy could count on him, not until Tommy makes the first step.

• Keeps the pickaxe that blinded Quackity as a trophy, this and keeps all weapons from powerful enemies with him as a reminder of a great battle he won once again

• Likes to write poetry about people and events, he'd never give them to the person, but keep it in a dusty small box in his room in the attic of the cabin

• OKAY, LET'S ALL AGREE TECHNO IS ARO/ACE? GOOD.

• Techno was friends with Jschlatt before everything went to hell, they liked to talk about random bs while watching the fire crack at night and drink some cheap booze for Jschlatt and coffee for Techno

• I view Techno also having some boar traits, so yeah territorial as FUCK don't mess with his stuff or house, also he chases pray like crazy and can eat almost anything without a problem due to that

• Doesn't CARE for alcohol, just doesn't like the idea of having a hangover afterwards since he'd be unable to fight the next day

• Would gossip with Jschlatt, Tommy and the syndicate like, ABOUT EVERYTHING, I imagine him and Jschlatt favorite hobby is shit talking people they hate

• Techno being aro/ace also means if you flirt with him, he'll just stare at your soul and bully the shit out of you, sometimes calls Phil and/or Jschlatt to roast the shit out of the person, also WILL defend himself from any creeps and defend his friends from ANY strange people since for him touch is STRICTLY a death sentence and something that takes time

• Techno smokes when stressed or in the syndicate room, making Phil always carry an extra lighter for him just in case, the 2 used to be smoking buddies before Phil quit when he adopted Chayanne and Tallulah

• Techno in the QSMP is an entity, a god watching above everyone but never leaving Phil side and the eggs side, sometimes he'd talk to Tallulah directly, or influence Phil like a voice in his head to do the right thing in his vision or appear to Chayanne in his dreams to have a chat

• Can and will drink blood from the enemies

• Loves to talk about skulls and anatomy of the body in general, a dark fact, due to respect to Jschlatt, after he died (not considering revival, I view revival as either the decomposed body coming back to life in a LESS but STILL fucked up state or a kind of new body that is the users body in the afterlife coming to the alive realm, if you guys want, I can make a post about this) picked and kept Jschlatt sheep skull, with horns and everything

(art by sadist)

• Would talk about historical wars and battles with his own analysis and commentaries on it, making a great history teacher

• totally collects greek mythology stuff, books, items, anything.

• Has a couple of tattoos but one that is pretty badass is a wither skull with red smoke on his ribs in the right, a tattoo of a emerald in the inside of his left wrist, a tattoo of a squid with a fork on it's head in reference to the potato war on his right wrist really tiny and "everything starts with blood" and "the voices demand blood" written in his tights

• My boy 100% has piercings due to piglin culture, around 75% of them being made of gold

[meryxonepitheterasedarc]

What the hell is meryxon and how I even got here + mini character analysis

Btw it's not me trying to pitch the ship or make everyone like it. I'm just explaining to ppl who have no idea wtf is going on.

P.S. English aint my first language so i'm sorry in advance.

Ok. Since I dedicated a whole blog to archiving my art of this two specifically, I think it's fun to explain how it even started and my insides on this ship of two characters FROM LOST MEDIA ROLE PLAY SESSIONS that NEVER MET eachother and only have 1 mention of one another. I'm pretty much playing of hoping that Jello will find it funny and just makes them interact in ee ONCE. I pretty much would happy to have that. This's a mess. Also I don't think that he's a type of author to go that mush on fandoms side but I resigned myself.

I think it might have started when I only started on writing HCD. An ee fangame "Epithet Erased hot crispy dazzling", you can find more abt in on my twt. I decided to replace the Warden's role with Meryl (not literally. She's in lockdown as a prison doctor after being demoted and acts as a boss in hcd) since I found liking to her and thought that her constantly panicking attitude but also an active position in combat (the fact that lamp rolled the biggest initiative led to her starting the combat and also her pulling out her gun when she started panicking) would be fun in prison break scenario. So, I was writing the hcd plot. We know. The ep 3 but in it turned into a freaking nonary game in the end (ep 2 of the game that I'll never make) and this tweet happened:

I was making random ac ship tweets like that for a bit. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. And then I ended up putting Meryl vs Dixon in hcd, similar to what Ramsey had with Zora, from characters perspective, and with Percy, from morality perspective. So, I wrote hcd draft with all of that and found their dynamic funny. Like this short cop lady bickering with this huge prisoner dude, who has a family record of juveniles and somehow, she's still the one who's likely to harm people directly, even though It's out of fear or paranoia 🤣

Since I won't commit to making separate character analysis, I'll list the things of those two that I found to be funny parallels or coincidences using comments fro original players: Oz and Lamp (source: Epithet Shrine (neocities.org)) Also yeah, we're talking the ac versions of characters since Jello probably would rewrite them in some way in the future: 1)both have anxiety problems and paranoia in some way.

2)both got working not the jobs they initially wanted

3) both keep shit in their hair for some reason 😅

and now, I'm now even fucking joking, I've made 3 scenarios, in that they would possibly have met. 1) The hcd plot.

They've met in prison and responsibilities of keeping Dixon alive got tossed on Meryl by Xerxes, who fucking gaslight them both that they've met in school. 2)that unfinished ee animation of ac ep 4.

They meet in contact room, where Meryl was giving directions to Rick, Noah and Stan and last bliss ocean officer. Dixon refused to give any more tips until we let him participate, so he's here now too. So there 4 scenes with them taking the mic from eachother and giving directly opposite hints.

3) The delusional territory. The fun one.

When they were in their 20's they used to date and Meryl was still in medical school at the time. But when she got too overwhelmed and dropped out and Dixon started to go nuts in conspiracy - they broke up. So their whole dynamic is the same but they're ex-s, so they use their memories of dating to moke eachother. Imagine having a crisis over if you're capable for your profession or not and your boyfriend goes fucking insane.

So, yeah. Here's the full dive into my hyperfixation that i got myself into after making a stupid joke abt a crack ship.

[amethystfairy1]

Hi Amethyst! It's been a hot minute since I sent an ask in, but I have been reading both fics every day (still obsessed lmao) (also I name changed btw, used to be ElenaLoo)

Anyways, I had written a whole ask waxing eloquent on all the wonderful things going on in ttsbc, but I accidentally shut off my computer partway through and frankly I can't be bothered to write it all out again lmao. Just. It's beautiful (wow isnt that so meaningful and deep? im sure you're feeling very complimented rn)

The REAL thing I wanted to talk about was Traveling thieves (which is by far my favorite fanfic of ALL TIME), and all the amazingness in ttsbc made me forget it even existed for the past few weeks. But the other day I was just like "oh yeah. Traveling thieves." and then i reread the whole thing. whoopsies.

Ummm anywyas there's so many thoughts in my head about all the little guys, but recently I've been on an Imp and Skizz obsession (just scroll on my page for .2 seconds and you'll see) and YOU. You left them on a CLIFFHANGER. >:((( (not actually mad btw). I just. so excited for them. They're out alone in the woods right now and Skizz is going to have the perfect opportunity to kill Impulse and get away and I just am falling apart thinking about them. (I drew them to cope lol, posted on my blog but also later here so that I can talk about it more). I can see this playing out a few ways. Obviously Skizz isn't actually going to kill Impulse, so he's either going to 1) make up some excuse as to why he can't do it right then, but still plans to do it eventually, or 2) he does it. but he doesn't. Skizz attacks Impulse when he's not expecting it, there's a scuffle, and Skizz comes out on top---BUT THEN HE CAN"T FINISH IT!!! and it's a whole thing where even tho skizz tried to kill him, imp is still so understanding and skizz cries and impulse just freaking gives him a hug and

sigh

Whatever you do will be beautiful, I'm sure. I think you mentioned you're switching to tt after this fic, so crossing my fingers it's imp and skizz. (Though, would also be very happy with Martyn and Ren :P) (or anything really i just love tt)

Anyways, I had the art on my blog but I'm also putting it here so i can say things about it to you

Mostly I'm just very proud of their expressions, with Impulse being all concerned glancing over at Skizz, meanwhile Skizz is completely deadpan staring forwards, also looking very tired bc he needs a break from this universe. Also I switched up my Impulse design a lil bit from last time (if u even remember that lol it was months ago now). you would think, just looking at them, that Impulse took way longer to design, but nope, I was messing around with Skizz for at least double the time, trying to figure out how to have him facing forward whilst still showing some of the scars on his back. I gave up eventually xD (all that means is that im gonna have to draw him again later, from different angles)

actually that made me remember a question I had: are you planning to ship Imp and Skizz? Ik you said Zed and Tango are going to be a thing far in the future, but... skizzpulse? plzzzz plz pretty please haha im not obsessed

aaaaaand that reminds me of another question, is skizz going to be in ttsbc? (pretty please also same question as tt, if he was in ttsbc, are him and impulse together? Im addicted to them all i care about these days is some good imp and skizz shipfics, and you're such a fantastic writer, both with plot and the vibes of the words themselves. u could write such good imp and skizz. just imagine the possibilites! (am i selling it?))

aaaaaanyways. im gonna go reread the old tt skizz fics because theyre delicious and painful, like eating knives. u have a good day :))

HIIIIIII

I ADORE THIS ART SO MUCH! I gave you all my rambles on the reblog but it's SOOOOO COOL!

I'm sad the waxing eloquent about TTSBC is gone 😭 but that's ok!

I'm so glad you're enjoying TT and all the drama going on in there! Imp and Skizz are definitely having a time and a half with all of this nonsense going on...I love all your theories! I won't confirm or deny anything of course, but I'm so happy you're excited for them!

I will not be shipping Imp and Skizz, sorry! I just personally don't ship them, so they're gonna remain platonic...I mean, in TT who knows what the hell they're doing to be fair 😆 but yeah, Zedango is going to be a thing in the distant future, but no Skizzpulse! Sorry!

Skizz is not in TTSBC at the moment, that doesn't mean he never will be! Just haven't found a spot for him yet...and no, he also would not be with Impulse, I'm so sorry I just don't ship them personally! I think it's a very cute ship tho!

Enjoy rereading the TT Skizz fics!!! Thank you again for the gorgeous art!!!! I love it!!! 💖

Same Face, Different Stories

AKA there’s no such thing as too many Nagito’s. Not for me! He’s simply the best!

Anyways, this was something I commissioned from the lovely and amazing @ariespetal. I love her art style so much and I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to commission her.

This is a gift for both @tortadecereji and @karugoround. Thank you both so much for allowing me to write for your aus. I have enjoyed every second and am excited for what is to come! Btw, if you want to check out the stories these two versions of Nagito are from, you can check out the masterpost on my blog. All of the current chapters are there with links! And go look at all the wonderful art on the creator’s blogs. And finally, also give Aries some love and attention. All of them have amazing artistic skills.

But yeah, Torta and Karu, I hope you like the surprise! And I hope everyone likes it, too!

POLARIS

Disclaimer: I do not own Maliksi, or Makisig (the Tamawo bros). Full Credit goes to HC - @ask-emilz-de-philz. Please check out their blog for amazing art and the wonderful world of Planet Puto.

A/N: This one is the sequel to Rough around the Edges. The last chapter (Rough Around the Edges - Final Part) may seem rushed- honestly, it is. Not in a way that I wanted to finish it at that, but my ADHD brain sometimes gets sudden bursts of ideas that I need to quickly get into my drafts, however, my fingers are too slow to type everything. Those I didn't get to type is somehow forgotten or changed into something else, thus explains the inconsistencies in pace, typos, wrong grammar, and other imperfections in my writing. (No, I am not sad or apologetic about it. I have a lot to improve and I have all the time in the world :D ) Still, I am thankful for everyone who takes time to read the products of my mind. I love writing about Maliksi btw, I think his character is complex and simple in itself and I am absolutely smitten with him. <3 Love HC and everything they do, as well as my fellow Planet Puto fans and enjoyers.

((AND NO, I AM NOT HURTING YOUR HEARTS THIS TIMEEE))

"Hey old hag, slow down or do you wanna get your second hip replacement right away?" Maliksi grumbled as he helped Amor's granddaughter, Maricela sit into a chair at the patio. She and Maliksi became friends- sharing their adoration for Amor.

Maricela has been old now and being in her 70's wasn't that enjoyable for her. She recently got hip replacement surgery and her grandchildren will be coming home from the city next week to take care of her.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure Lola Amor loved not getting this old. That woman died pretty." Maricela softly chuckled. "Thank you for visiting, Maliksi."

Maliksi scoffed. "Yeah, yeah. Can't have you tumbling around your backyard again before Amor scolds me on my dreams."

"Lola visits you on your dreams? Wait, you guys sleep?"

"If you were any younger I would've smacked you on your head by now. Ofcourse we sleep! We're not vampires! And no, she doesn't visit my dreams, that snobby little lady not even showing herself to me...even once."

"Not like you visited her when she was still alive!" Maricela burst out laughing.

"To my defense, I absolutely have no idea how time works outside Biringan. I didn't bother finding out before losing her." Maliksi softly answered.

"Atleast you're learning now. How's your Kuya Makisig? Still busy with his tamawo duties?"

"Yeah, as always."

"If you both didn't tell me everything about tamawos or explained how you guys' relationship with the humans work, I would've stayed there. I was crushing hard on your Kuya when I was younger." Maricela giggled.

"Well, you're a widow now want me to get Kuya to-"

Maricela, even being that old was still strong enough to playfully bonk Maliksi on his head. "Oh shush! Have some respect to your elders, how can you pimp me like I'm some kind of sugar baby wannabe."

Maliksi clutched his stomach from laughing too hard. "C'mon. I'm technically older than you by a lot!"

"You have a point. You should visit here next week. My grandchildren will be throwing a little party since this is the first time they'll be going home here in the province in a very long time. We'll have a lot of sweets and kakanin for sure."

"Next week huh? Seven human days, sure...I'll set that in my calendar so I won't miss it."

Maricela's laughter filled the air as her younger grandchildren pushed her wheelchair around the yard. Most of Maricela's family stayed at the city and rarely visited the province. The kids are absolutely enjoying it, having a chance to play in the sun and have fun on an open yard for the first time.

Maliksi quietly watched as he picks up a plate, ignoring the other savory dishes and going straight to the dessert section. The family members just thought of Maliksi as anak ng kapitbahay who looks after their Lola Maricela whenever he's free so he is treated warmly, oftentimes greeted by everyone who passes by his table.

Maliksi was spooning some lecheflan right out from the llanera when a shy boy approached his table and placed a platter of kutsinta right infront of him.

"My ate told me to give this to you." The boy shyly said before running away to join his cousins.

He tilted his head, eyes scanning the plate of steamed rice cake in front of him.

Amor still makes the best one.

Kutsinta is still his favorite, no doubt about that, yet he couldn't get himself to eat it after learning about Amor's passing, knowing nothing can top her kutsinta- it's the best he's ever tried even after being alive for centuries afterall.

Maliksi looked around, knowing that the kakanin might be prepared by one of Maricela's relatives, or worse, by one of her grandkids. Not wanting to be rude towards the one who made it, Maliksi slowly picked up a piece, inching it closer to his mouth before taking a bite.

His eyes widen as he quickly stood up from his seat, Maricela and her family were surprised at his suddenness, all eyes staring at him in bewilderment.

"Is everything okay, ijo?" one of the aunties asked Maliksi.

He quickly realized his actions, clearing his throat to gain composure and sitting back down calmly. "I- Sorry, it's just..the kutsinta is...good. Who made it?"

"Oh, must be Y/n. Lola Maricela's granddaughter who just graduated college. She loved cooking."

Maliksi heard a soft chuckle from behind him. He slowly turned around to see who it's coming from.

"Tastes like the best kutsinta ever, huh?" You stood infront of him, giving him a smug smile.

"You look like a kutsinta type of guy so I asked my lil bro to give you some. You like it?"

Maliksi stood frozen in place, his mind wandering to places. It is indeed the best kutsinta. Hell, it tastes like Amor's. He cannot forget that taste even after so many years.

The nostalgia brought by that single bite alone is enough to take him back to that time when Amor would make kutsinta and place it somewhere he'll find since he's too prideful before to accept anything from humans. He won't be able to resist it and just tell himself that Amor didn't give it to him- he 'sneakily' stole it from the human girl and enjoyed every last bits of it.

"I might not remember him, but my heart and soul will know him once we meet again."

"You...made this?"

You nodded. "Yeah, aside from the kutsinta itself, the secret actually lies on-"

"On the yema that is spread lightly on the top of the kutsinta before it's sprinkled with grated coconut." Maliksi finished your sentence which made you chuckle a little bit.

"How did you know that? Not everyone does that."

"A...friend of mine made it like that." Maliksi softly answered.

[artharakka]

Can I ask you where have you found inspiration for your art? For example I've noticed you have a very specific (and beautiful) way you draw jewelry and clothing. The shapes are very organic yet grounded at the same time, give a bit of a Nausicaä vibes, as well as art noveau meets iron age.

Honestly I could go on and on about the beautiful details of your art but I don't want to seem too fangirlish :D

Ohhh thank you I love those comparisons 🧡 Because I didn't even know those are the vibes I was going for but yeah that's great actually... This is like when one of you made a playlist inspired by my art... (I still have that saved btw! 🧡 And I still cannot believe!!). Here's a little Rhiam drawing with some jewelry she doesn't (yet) have in canon (earrings she does have but she cannot use them yet)

But what are my inspirations hmmmmmmm many! Idk even what all I have inhaled into my art but I try to list something (this got long so rest under cut):

Nature 🌿 I love both mundane (sparrows, plants growing from asphalt cracks, moss covered street signs... the little details) and grand formations that fill me with awe. There's something about things so vast that take my breath away. Like oceans, mountains, high cliffs, endless tundra, wind so strong you could lean against it, ancient stone that has been scraped visible by massive sheets of ice thousands of years ago. (But I'm guilty of not being that impressed by conventional beauty of average gardens. Aren't people tired of only finding planted blooming flowers beautiful!). Most often I'm drawing inspiration from nature familiar to me, that being Nordic/Scandinavian ones.

I already said nature but birds deserve a special mention! Agh I just love those funky little animals 🦅

Stories! I love making stories, I think they help me grasp and go over my thoughts. I love pouring myself into my characters, it makes them feel both personal but also makes it easier to talk about myself to my fellow storytellers. I'd love to do a long graphic novel or write a book one day, but I also love making ttrpg stories just for and with our little group 🧡 For a long time I felt kinda bad that I wasn't doing "real art" that wasn't just illustrations of my characters. But then I realised doing art for arts sake doesn't really inspire me. I don't want to do art that I'd think would be easily consumable nor do I have any great performance to create with my art. I just love to illustrate stories and tell stories through my art and I think that's great! I still love seeing and experiencing artworks that aren't this illustrative, I just don't have the motivation to do that myself. But I can get really excited of works like Emma Jääskeläinen's granite sculptures!

Other artists! There are two categories I think: 1) those whose work I've seen (usually irl) and whose technique or themes or symbolism facinates me. I usually don't want to create similar art, or replicate their style, or medium even. But there's something about them, a feeling of awe or they feel formidable. Or there's something clever about them that lets me have this sense of epiphany. For example, Jääskeläinen who I already mentioned, Marcel Dzama, Merja Palin, Helena Vaari, Marika Mäkelä, to name a few I've seen lately-ish. And then 2) there are artists whose stories and/or style inspires me and influences my art. One of the biggest inspirations to my softer line art style was and is @albabbgg. @serpentface has some really cool worldbuilding and designs, I think they were also a great influence to how I draw bodies these days. @wiltkingart has also very cool shapes and genders in his paintings. @sanctus-ingenium 's stories and art have been a huge inspiration lately. And to list a few others now that I started: @pangur-and-grim/@greer-art, @beidak-art, @elemei, @emilylorange, @pansylair, @cy-lindric, @psrj, @lokorum

And many others I'm probably forgetting now! I also have a side blog @sancta-cessatrix where I occasionally reblog cool art, check tags #art #inspiration

Okay I finally managed to write something ... .I seriously have hit like a writing wall and lost so much writing motivation…BUT I ASSURE YOU I'M TRYING TO GET BACK INTO IT…And I’ve been missing Chelsea so much. So I decided to write about it. And I will be including @twyz’s (Btw totally check out all their AU’s and OCs and art. It’s all Chef's kiss ... .Oh? You thought I was asking? No seriously….Go check it out…I’m not asking…...Haha I’m totally joking about the threatening part…but seriously….If you love eye candy go check out their blog…) OC Gloria aka Chelsea’s older sister for anyone new here. And I will be including Benny because I’ve been missing him as well. Also be aging them up a bit you’ll see why… 

The new school year had recently rolled around, Chelsea the Ray’s youngest daughter now starting high school, now a week in. Something she hadn’t been overly thrilled about, however the youngest saw no point in complaining. School was seen more of a chore than anything, following the repetitive mundane routine. Wake Up, Dress, Breakfast, Head Out the Door, Repeat….Repeat….Repeat…

Thankfully the first week had concluded much to her relief. Gloria, the Rays second youngest, noticed something was wrong with her sister. She had been more tense than usual, normally she’d let it go but she could tell something had been nagging her baby sister and now she needed to know what. 

After dinner, Gloria ventured down the hall down to Chelsea’s room, stopping for a moment to think, staring at the periwinkle door to ground her thoughts. Her blue orbs falling on the old measurement marks slashed across Chelsea’s door frame. The memories of helping her father lineup little Chelsea against the wall struggling to get an accurate height, as the little youngest would fiddle and fidget, stretched a smile along her rosy face. Gently she did her usually two, three, one knock, to let her sister know it was her, waiting for a response.

“Come in Gloria”, Chelsea spoke from her desk.

Gloria made her way in, walking over to her sister peering over her shoulder.

“Algebra?” she smiled placing on Chelsea’s shoulder

“Yep, fun stuff” Chelsea sighed, looking up at her sister.

“You were right, Mr. Lance is a jerk”

“Told ya, the guys are not the nicest or the brightest” she responded.

“Yeah he didn’t take me correcting his math lightly” Chelsea snickered, flashing her sister a toothy grin. 

“Hehe yeah. The guys getting paid to teach and yet he can barely do that” Gloria smiled lightly ruffling Chelsea’s hair.

Gloria hopped onto Chelsea bed lightly tapping the spot beside her. The youngest followed sitting cross legged looking over at her sister.

‘What’s up?”

Gloria took a deep breath, letting it out as she scooted closer to her sister. “Hey you know you can come to me for anything right?”

“Yeah, why? Something wrong?” Chelse questioned, tilting her head.

“Well it’s just since you started school, I’ve noticed that you’ve been….a bit tense…Is everything okay?”

Chelsea gave a curious blink, “Yeah everything fine” she spoke adjusting her bowtie, “probably just school jitters. Sorry if it looks like I’ve been on edge”, Chelsea gave another smile, “and that’ll probably wear off since it’s the weekend. Pa said we’re going over to Uncle Slap’s and hanging out with our cousins. So it should be fun. I’m hoping for a barbeque. And I’ve been wanting to hear the Jamies side of the story about the blowing up the science lab.”

Gloria wasn’t buying it. Not in the slightest, but she knew Chelsea all too well and knew this was the most she was going to get out of her. She gave a supportive smile and nodded, pulling her in close, “Alright then. But remember my rooms right down the hall if you ever wanna talk okay?”

Chelsea, though not one for embraces, smiled and leaned in, “Alright”

“Wait he blew up what?”

…

Monday had rolled around again, and Gloria decided to keep an eye on her younger sister. Seeing if anything was truly wrong…or perhaps she was just being nosy, and her gut had been off. During lunch she spotted Chelsea sitting with Benny, and a new girl. She took a moment to study. Sandy hair, freckled cheeks, dimples, lime eyes, a light pink blouse, and a headband. She seemed friendly, sitting with the two, only then did she see Chelsea’s body tense, seemingly staring daggers into the newcomer. Gloria noticed the tightening of Chelsea’s lips, a habit she often did when she was annoyed, and the subtle scooching toward Benny. If only she could hear the conversation. 

…

Chelsea suppressed a frown, forcing a friendly grin at the new girl, who had taken a liking to her best friend. A liking she wasn’t fond of. Not to mention this strawberry blonde was a yapper, steering the one-sided conversation every which way. Benny had turned off his hearing aids, and somewhat smiled along, something Chelsea wished she had the power to do. Much like her father she wasn’t a social butterfly, and found herself fantasizing about duct taping the new girl's mouth shut. Her focus only regained at the sight of the new girl leaning closer to Benny and playfully tugging at his shirt. 

“I was so pissed, like , can you even believe that?! And so then my Uncle totally–”

“OKAY!.....Benny and I are going to miss our next block….We should get going”

“Class doesn’t start for another 10 minutes” the girl responded, moving closer to Benny.

“Well I don’t like being late…Earlier the better” Chelsea forced out grabbing Benny's hand and practically dragging the teen to their next class.

“I’ll come!”

Chelsea rolled her eyes, her grip on Benny’s hand tightening as she walked. Benny didn’t mind and quickened his pace, his cheeks slightly blushing at the sudden hand grab. 

…

Luckily the last and most dreadful block arrived. Chemistry. Chelsea was actually quite fond of the subject only she’d be sharing the class with the new girl. And today was a lab, much to her dismay Benny had been paired up with the new girl, and she was paired with the Karen of a neighbor's son, Urhighness. Who thankfully had grown more tolerable throughout the years and his time with the Rays. 

Benny hid a frown that had been tugging at his lips as he now had to endure the new girls rambling and her constant need to be next to him…Practically joined at the him. 

Chelsea now with a set of goggles read the lab report, following the procedure with precise precision, occasionally glancing over at Benny and his lab partner, feeling her grip tighten around her pencil. 

“You okay Chels? Something bugging you?”

Chelsea blinked, snapping from her gaze, “Nope…everything's peachy Ness….”

“....Right…So ya got the test tube?” He commented looking over the lab sheet.

“Yeah sure, here” she said, her eyes back on Benny.

Ness chuckled slightly, shaking his head, “Someone's jealous,” he muttered under his breath.

“Me? Jealous? Please” Chelsea clapped back, shooting him a look. 

“What? Can’t I point out the obvious?”

Chelsea shot him another look, before uttering a comeback she heard the new girl's overly animated bubbly laugh that made her snap her pencil. 

“Way to contaminate the work station, Chels”  he remarked, gently taking her snapped pencil and tossing it out, giving her one of his. 

“You’re upset your boyfriends is clearly being hit on, understandable but can we deal with your drama another day please”

Chelsea squinted, “He’s not my boyfriend he’s my best friend”

“Yeah okay. Keep telling yourself that. Because your face says otherwise. And tell your cousin that I said thanks for blowing up the old science lab, this ones a total upgrade ” he snickered.

….

Thankfully the end of the school day came, and Gloria, Chelsea, and Benny had decided to walk home together. Benny listened to music through his hearing aids, while the two sisters chatted. 

“So how was school?” Gloria asked,

“Fine”

Gloria’s face fell for a moment, but she quickly recomposed herself before Chelsea could notice, “So I noticed, a new girl sitting with you guys at lunch, what’s her name?” 

Gloria noticed Chelsea’s jaw tighten and body tense, “Cindy, can’t tell if that's her actual name or a nickname.”

“So…you two friends? Or…”

“Not friends. She's more like a tick than anything” Chelsea remarked with a slight glance towards Benny, that didn’t go unnoticed by Gloria. 

“Okay noted…I saw she was close with Ben–” 

“No she’s not. If she was close with him she’d probably bother to ask about him instead of talking about herself for a straight hour”

There was a sore nerve. 

Gloria saw Chelsea’s face flush each time she mentioned Benny. She knew all too well Benny had a crush on Chelsea since the 3rd grade but couldn’t help but smirk at the thought the feeling was now mutual. 

“Okay so she’s full of herself. Just try and avoid her like the plague. Or better yet dump her on Urhighness” 

Chelsea smirked at the idea, “Ya know you might be onto something”

…

The following week Chelsea managed to get a word out in conversation and mentioned Urhighness, immediately catching Cindy's attention curious as to who he was.

“He should be over– Hey Ness. This is Cindy” Chelsea grinned, motioning to her.

“...Ah yeah Cindy…I’ve heard a lot about you” he responded.

“Oh really? I’m sure they were all good things right Urhighness?”

Ness forced a smile side-eyeing Chelsea, “Many things…And I just go by Ness now…You can drop the Urhigh” he responded, shaking her hand noticing her tight grip. 

“Oh and he also thinks you’re really pretty,” Chelsea smirked, locking eyes with Ness.

“Awww thank you!” She smiled and pulled him into a tight hug.

Ness nervously chuckled, glaring at Chelsea awkwardly returning the hug, silently mouthing “fuck you” 

Chelsea could only smirk, flipping him off.

I found your blog while watching for love's sake splendid drama and nice commentary from you I saw you watch chinese shows and I have a question am I dumb or because why are they so frustrating I don't know if it's because I'm used to japanese ones where there isn't much romance and this is how romance is written these days or is this a cultural thing because why every one of these I watch has such weird romantic relationships where this dude is breaking his back for her from day 1 and this dudette is out here acting like he's number 5 on her priority list?

yaassss Love for Love's Sake representation. I will never rest from reccing that drama 👏👏 you clearly are NOT dumb & have great taste 😘

for cdramas, my beloved, in my experience of watching in recent years is that there is such a wide breadth of genres & tones. There is just SO MUCH. Definitely chinese entertainment has its own tropes and way of portraying romance. And you either like or you don't. But there are many different flavors. If you feel like you were seeing the same dynamic repeatedly, it may have been bad luck.

If you prefer minimal romance, there are definitely options for that in cdramas! There are mystery/investigation dramas and wuxia martial arts dramas with little to no romance. Because of censorship the gay romances naturally are circumspect and light on the romance (see: The Untamed, Couple of Mirrors, Word of Honor, Spirealm, Guardian). Since you like Love for Love's Sake, I'd rec The Spirealm on Viki - also queer love story about a guy who enters a video game and the people he meets there become real to him; though warning it IS censored and that means the ending is more ambiguous. I can't promise you'll like it. (Semantic Error and Eighth Sense are my other 2 fav korean gay romances btw. )

There are also cdramas that do include romance but in terms of screen time the romance is like 30% of scenes and the plot & character arcs are 70% of scenes. Like in Blossoms in Adversity that I'm watching now, yeah there is most definitely romance but the FL/ML romance scenes compromise like 25% of the overall screen time. It's about way more than who she might marry.

But also in terms of cultural differences? hmm idk because I'm not chinese. I really should NOT speak like I understand their PoV. From an outsider's perspective, I have felt like there are many cdramas with overtly feminist themes - commentary about restrictions on women, the challenges of navigating through a society that can be unfair and entrenched with misogyny. (I joke and yet not that chinese entertainment seems to have 3 propaganda drums that it beats: nationalism/unification, anti-war, and feminism.) It's certainly a fact that many cdramas feature female characters that fall in love but they maintain other priorites & don't let themselves be subsumed in devotion to a man. They have romance & find love but "keep their eye on the prize."

My best guess (??) about this is that it's a rebellion against old cultural mores about women's role being subserviant to father then husband, when during imperial times a woman was expected to prioritze her husband and his family above her own wants, health, and happiness. (It was immoral to be jealous or not follow direction from the man.) Modern chinese screenwriters, both men and women, appear to be writing for an audience that will respect & support the idea of a woman who has her own agenda and maintains focus on her goals despite her love for the ML. Perhaps because this is viewed as moving away from "old thinking". idk.

I presume the target audience in china for romance dramas simply doesn't worry so much that the ML is getting loved enough & aren't as sensitive to thinking he might be at a disadvantage... They're aware society is already set up to his advatange & for much of history he would have all the power in the relationship. (He might bend now and be giving it his all, but the audience knows he can tap into more power & control at will. if she gives up control & her goals, it will be harder for her to recover & reclaim status/money/power compared to him. There are dramas I've seen that pretty much explicitly state that FL wants to earn her own status and money that is hers, thru her own efforts, not lent by him - not prestige or wealth that comes through him and thus could be taken away).

Personally I don't view this as unromantic, just the practical realities of existing in a patriarchal society. (cdramas can hit different imo because they can be blunt about how people operate based on self-interest & pettiness, the realities of classism, the ugliness of rumors, how judgmental people can be about appearances, how you can't always get justice when wronged. Reminds me of the Discworld books that were very frank about how the common people commonly are. It's not saying: this is how people should be; it's saying: this is how things are, the bitterness of life, but you can still find sweetness & meaning within it)

There's another aspect: some cdramas have male protagonists (e.g. Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Blood of Youth, League of Nobleman, Eternal Brotherhood) and some have female protagonists. If you're watching a female protagonist, as the protagonist her priorities & goals are the story driver. So her love interest will take a back seat to that even though it's a romance. He's a support role - his job in the story is to break his back for the protagonist. (A Journey to Love is an example where ML and FL share the protagonist role & you can see that in how things play out, how they each have separate priorities that don't get dropped for love.)

At the end of the day, there are plenty of cdrama romances where I ship it hard and feel a mutual love & devotion between the couple. My fav flavor is where both FL and ML have their own strengths and can be counted on to support each other. I'm not keeping score on who owes who, and neither are they.

But it's all not gonna to be to everyone's taste and that's fine. :) When it comes to international tv, if we enjoy content from other countries then it's our good luck. But if we don't...well, it wasn't made for us. That's ok.

Those WIPs and storyboards of the characters just really amazes me on how you've improved so much since the day I met you and really inspired me 👉👈 and I'm not really saying that you have to be famous it's just that you're too good at doing art👏 I might even mistaken you that you work at Disney or other animation studios or something If I just met you today HAHA

anyway. help me please?? i need to get caught up. can you give me like, cliff notes of everyone so i can get caught up? thank you i'm sorry !!!!!

YOU DONT NEED TO BE ASHAMED !!! IT'S OKAY !!! I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEM ANYWAYS !!!!

okay. OKAY SO. gonna give u a basic rundown. basically, i have my Gravity Falls ocs (they're the ones i talk most about so i'm assuming these are the ones you're referring to)

my 4 Main ones are laurie, jocelyn, sam, and rudy !!! (aysel is another one, but he's in a different universe. if that makes sense. i won't be talking about her here)

anways, here's drawings of my ocs for reference !!

so basically. i'm not gonna go TOO deep into lore, but i will do a super quick recap.

laurie (ginger one) was born in canada, had to move to the States just before high school. it's super scary!!! bcs she's all alone and whatnot. BUT! then she meets some new friends!! (sam and rudy [bottom two]) trio hijinks ensue, laurie falls in love with jocelyn, even more hijinks ensue. high school finishes, and they all part ways. laurie and jocelyn go to backupsmore, sam goes to west coast tech, and rudy stays in idaho for college.

laurie and jocelyn then meet ford and fiddleford (who have been there for 2 years already), and sam and rudy do their own thing in their own schools ig.

they all graduate from their separate colleges and go off to do their own things as adults !!!

sam does astrophysics and science and NERD STUFF and becomes PRETTY famous! (she even wrote a few books!!)

rudy does comics for a living, like, drawing and writing them! it's been one of his passions Forever. so!!

and laurie and jocelyn live happily in gravity falls !!

UNTIL THEY DON'T !!!!!!

shenanigans happen and then BOOM. things go kinda very wrong.

and then... (not quite) 30 years go by then BOOM it's the events of the show.

ughm. but yeah !!!! that's pretty much it! it's VERY brief, but if you want to, you can just go on my blog and read up on my ocs !! (i have them all tagged by name. it's so much easier to find specific things for specific ocs that way)

here are some links to some important lore things. or just things that i took some time on and i'm super proud of that are relevant to The Plot (they're mostly all laurie-related)

sam and rudy intro !!
