resident evil games are fun because once in a while they just yoink away your player character and stick a new one in front of you and go "here. play as this one for a while"

I'm going to puke, not even joking, this makes me feel sick, WHO thought it was a good idea to have Zack Tyler Eisen and Michael DiMartino on a big Zutara episode??
The second season was genuinely like... Really upsetting to listen to, it was just the most squeaky clean, judgment free praise of ATLA ever and of Bryke in particular, which was even more egregious because you can tell Janet and Dante aren't even into it sometimes but they have to sell it and. God I kinda loathed listening to most of it? Idk if I'm gonna bother with season 3 and beyond tbh, this was just. So fucking annoying to listen to in a way season 1 wasn't, and season 3 is 100% deserving of some serious criticism but they literally were incapable of even acknowledging how dumb The Guru is and I just genuinely don't think I'll have the mental capacity to listen to them praise the season that's the most deserving of criticism
God the contemptuous way Mike talks about the Zutara moment... I hate him. Like, fr, why are they allowed to shit so hard on Zutara but no one is allowed to come on the podcast to say how gross Kataang is? It's a vile fucking ship that ruined both characters, and having two Kataangers on a Zutara episode constantly shooting down what the two Zutarian hosts are trying to explain about why people love Zutara just genuinely might be the straw that broke the camel's back for me here. It's just so unclassy and. I hate listening to this so much, but I'm gonna see it through to the end... And then never pick it back up again because I'm not having fun whatsoever

okok so i just found your blog and lemme tell you ive been eating it UPPP
how would you feel abt josh or maybe chris? (rlly any of the men tbh) with a s/o who has nipple piercings?
i feel like josh would be sooo into it when he found out/when you first got them done. he wouldve def been so so so supportive if you wanted to get them done during the relationship. hed love the sensitivity after theyve finally healed, lowkey would sit there admiring them for a hot while just looking and fiddling with them(i headcannon josh as a tits/thighs man gonna be honest)
more smutty imagine, his s/o is bouncing on his lap, and your tits are just so perfect, and he just cant resist himself anymore, hes gotta know how they feel on his tongue. he takes one of your nipples in his mouth and just rolls his tongue over the piercing, mapping out the feel with his tongue carefully. hed be so content i fear.
chris would be shy about it, like, "oh wow, those mustve hurt pretty bad, huh?", not drawing too much attention to it at first, but eventually, maybe youre sat on his lap, grinding your hips against his, youre both sensitive and heated, panting, and chris has been admiring the way the balls of the peircing really perk up your nipple, and after a particularly rough stroke of your hips against his clothed hard-on, his large hands grip your hips or ass, digging into the flesh and he leans down, taking your nipple between his lips in an attempt to cover his loud whimper. after all, with you riding his hips, youre just elevated enough where your tits are right there, at a conveniently perfect level to his mouth.
someone save me my goddd 🙀
anon thank you for leaving this wonderful little gift in my inbox holy shit
warning 4 this one! afab reader potentially implied!??
josh:
i totally agree that josh is a tits man, but honestly - he just loves any curves… ass? tits? thighs?? and they’re not on his face rn?? 🤨
he’d totally love nipple piercings… man’s a FREAAK!! first time he sees them he’s like 🧿🧿.. absolutely baffled!??! during intimacy he’d love them too, teasing them with his lips or fingers just to hear you whine and shudder like hello!?!😵‍💫
also to elaborate on your thought… he’d definitely give them some special attention if you’re riding him, i mean… they’re LITERALLY right there.. and he’s a strong man, but not that strong… it would definitely satisfy that little part of his brain that wants to analyze and commit all of your little reactions to memory… running his thumbs over them, maybe a lil pinch, kisses, sucking on them, y’know.. the works. he wants to know what makes you moan for him the most!!
as for chris… oh boy..
he’s a lot more flustered by them, AND more hesitant to mess with them.. his eyes getting all wide when he sees them for the first time..like? BAFFLED.. “oh, wow… uh.. man, did those hurt?” and like.. obviously yeah, so he’s a little scared to fuck with them? BUT once he knows they’re healed and in fact don’t hurt anymore… oh lord!!!
he loves having you in his lap CANON! his face getting all flushed while you grind down on him, him touching ur piercings just to hopefully mess you up like you’re doing to him… he’s sensitive!! he doesn’t wanna cum first :( and ur tits look so pretty with the bars through them, making ur nipples look extra perked up, ?!yknow!?
chris def has a secret oral fixation.. i have no reason or explanation… my brain is saying its true so i’m sharing it with the masses!!! he needs to he doing something with his mouth, especially when he’s close 😵‍💫 so he’d love to wrap his lips around your nipples just to hear you whine for him like… UGHH!!
i hope i fulfilled your expectations anon!! praying this is good or else….. (idk nothing will happen i’m just dramatic)
another note, i typed this shit like 3 days ago and it went to DRAFTS. INSTEAD OF POSTING.
thx bbg @ghouleaterr 4 giving me motivation once again…

~5 Writing tips that actually help~
(These tips are meant for fiction books, especially fantasy. so if you’re writing nonfiction a decent amount of these won’t apply to you. Sorry!)
Find your writing voice.
one of the biggest issues I find in things written by beginners is a lack of emotional connection with the narration. Sure the story can be great, but without personality, without looks into the characters minds, without little quips here and there, it really isn’t all that interesting. Something that really helped me to realize this was a book called the tragical tale of birdie bloom. It’s a kids book but it honestly has such a good narrator (and storyline tbh) that you can look past the little kiddy-ness. I recommend you check the book out if you’re looking for some inspiration. I will be making a post about how to develop your writing and character voices soon so if you want some extra help with that, stay tuned!
2. Get to know your characters.
I know that you all probably already know this, but characters are one of, if not the most important part of a book. Readers don’t want to read about a flat, boring character who just feels like a vessel for the horrifying amount of trauma you add to your story. They want to read about people that feel real, people with flaws and feelings and hobbies and backstories. When I wanted to develop my characters I started going through the drafts, the plot outlines, everything and seeing what the characters did, said, felt. Then I took their basic backstory and started lining things up. Like if a character decided to get into a fight with another character, I would see what had happened to them that might have caused this. Maybe they had been abused as a child and thought that any disagreement meant they had to fight for their life. Maybe this person reminded them of a former enemy. After you start to figure out what connects the characters to the big plot points, you can then start to develop subtle things. You could start writing something, realize this situation would have triggered a character, and then drop subtle hints towards them feeling uncomfortable. Go nuts with it, after all you can never over-analyze a character.
3. Describe things uniquely.
Descriptions are what help us to understand what’s going on in a scene. They can tell us about the tasty drink a character is enjoying, the slick dress that someone is wearing or the way a characters muscles tense when a certain someone enters the room. But sometimes descriptions a fall a bit flat and that can ruin the experience for the reader. Something I always try to remember is to try and come up with new words describe something, for example; “her eyes were a beautiful shade of brown.” Is a very basic and over used description, instead you could try; “her eyes sparkled as she sat across from me, gleaming a rich chocolate shade as the light from the candles reflected off of them”. This is a much stronger sentence as it gives both environment hits and a description of the eyes, all while staying away from overused terms. I often see this theme in stories written by beginners, things being described in a very straight forward manner. And of course this is ok once in a while, especially if this isn’t a very important topic, but it still sounds better when you branch away from that basic sentence structure. I always like to use descriptive sentences to push things forward. Here is another example; “she was wearing a fluffy green dress with lots of lace. She walked over to the door and opened it.” Vs “the lacy trim of her green dress dragged on the floor as she walked towards the door. She smiled wide as she held it open, inviting her guests into the building.” Making strong sentences is very important, so please toy around with different words, structures, etc, until the sentence fits the type of book you’re trying to write.
4. Make trauma realistic.
Yes, even if you’re writing a fantasy book, characters experiences have to be realistic. Something that always gets on my nerves is when writers come up with a good idea for some trauma, so they just give to a character, even when it doesn’t suit them at all. if you are going to give a character trauma you need to explain it, set it up so it actually fits into their character arc, then have the character actually be affected by it. They can’t just randomly be like “I got shot by a dude.” And that’s it if there is no way that character could have gotten shot given their life experiences. Also if you want a character to be relatively unaffected after an extremely traumatic event you have to plan it out so that they have a specific and consistent trauma response that makes them not react shortly after an event like that. Characters are supposed to be like people, and no two people react to trauma the same way, so you do have some leeway if necessary, but people also don’t just stay the same after something horrible happens, they are affected by it and that has to be accurately portrayed. This does get easier the more you get to know the characters though, as soon you will know how they react to things and how to plan trauma that suits them.
5. Make a plot outline.
I cannot stress this enough, make a plot outline. Making a plot outline literally saved my book, and they are really easy to make! I recommend you download a spreadsheet app like XL spreadsheets or Apple numbers but you could even use google docs if you want. You want to put in all the chapters and then give each chapter at least six spots to write scenes. Add a spot for adding the main event of the chapter/a summery of what you have to write. This will help you to understand what you have to write for that chapter and how it fits into the next chapter. After that you start to fill all the scene boxes in with your plot information. Having a plot outline is great as it can be super vague and messy, but still hold all your ideas. It also helps to prevent unnecessary rewrites later, as you can just edit the plot outline before you start writing the first draft. You can even make a plot outline after you’ve started writing your book. That’s what I did and I promise, it still is very helpful. (Example of a plot outline below.)

hehe same anon from earlier!! about Sin Of Envy-- i just saw your responses AND HEHE THEY ALSO MADE ME VERY HAPPY!!! AGHH I LOVE WORLD BUILDING AND YOUR CHARACTERIZATION IS SO GOOD.....DELICIOUS ....also i really like your emergence (pregnancy?? idk) hcs!! honestly i think its really realistic given transformers anatomy and what we know as far as how their bodies work. I always feel a little strange seeing artists actually make them look ROUND when pregnant but i really like the pod casing thing!! reminds me of another artist who headcanons emergence as a little gashapon ball. very cute 👍 OH and you definitely SUCCEEDED (at least for me) in melding Megatron and Skyfire together,,, i had to go back and reread those dream scenes so many times because i would get confused at which part was truly Megatron and which part was Skyfires influence. i would LOVE to read the draft for Sin of Envy if you do post it 🙏 !!!
WHOOOO!! THANK YOU!!! Tbh I think me reading One Piece a while back totally ruined my ability to worldbuild, because now I feel like I'm allergic to accepting things without a root reason for it.
And thank you! Honestly, I get the appeal of having transformers mimic humans in their manner of emergence, but it just doesn't make sense given their entire, well, status as inorganic extraterrestrial beings? I'm glad my headcanon flew well!
WHOOOOOOOO!!! I'M SO GLAD THAT MEGATRON AND SKYFIRE BECAME MEGASKYTRONFIRE!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHA! Those dream scenes were meant to be trippy, and I'm glad they fulfilled their role. ;)
Tbh the draft I had for Sin of Envy ch 2 is extremely small and extremely unfinished. It does, however, hold a bit of Megatron's POV.
Actually, I'll share it here now:
Dreadwing sat alone [unfinished prol.]
0~o~0
Soundwave’s visor flickered and the compound optic onlined to the appearance of the Autobot base. Immediately, he began cataloguing the surroundings. Layers of sediment, he noted, The sound of compression. They were hiding underground.
(It had been a running joke on the Nemesis during the three years Megatron wasn’t around. The three years Knock Out found it in himself to sparkbond with Breakdown, the three years Starscream pushed back the Autobot priority in favor of Energon stability. Those few days they did opt to send minor parties out to comb the earth for Autobot appearance, they found neither hide nor hair of their base.
“They’re hiding underground!” Starscream had exclaimed at the time, wings shifting and posture notably relaxed. “They have got to be! There is no way otherwise; we’ve already well and combed the surface, after all.”
And then he’d devolved into a rant, partly about Knock Out’s terrible interfacing habits, partly about possible Autobot base locations, partly about Megatron and the army he would most certainly bring from his venture.)
Soundwave shifted and deployed his data cables. There was a computer nearby. Fool on the Autobots for putting him—the great and powerful Soundwave—so close to one, but far be it from him to complain.
Soundwave shifted. Tilted his helm. His dorsal spines flicked, the barest hint of his true irritation. His data cables, limbs that they were, pushed against a metal casing around their deployment ports. Well, he mused. Soundwave: Should not have assumed the Autobots would truly be that… unintelligent. Silently, he called out to Laserbeak.
…And his world erupted in—
Pain.
Laserbeak! He called out, blinded, as his visor sent him warning message after warning message, glitching out with red lines and incomprehensible static. On the edge of his hearing radius, he noted a voice calling out to him, deep and soothing, familiar and not at once. He discarded it immediately. Laserbeak!
Nothing. She was saying nothing.
No, Soundwave realized, suddenly, after a few moments of pain persisted. His chassis was empty, Laserbeak was out of her charging port. Yet still, there was a burning sensation across his side, a phantom pain that echoed across their bond, largely overshadowed by Laserbeak’s—
Screaming, Soundwave grasped faintly. Laserbeak: Is screaming.
And then Soundwave was screaming. And thrashing. And his data cables, limbs that they were, slammed against the metal casing, denting it, sending sharp spikes of pain up into his helm—how did he get caught?—and then something sunk into his neck, one of the few unprotected spots of his frame, and Soundwave felt everything fade to black.
O~O
Starscream was his now.
(Megatron felt heady with power)
Starscream was his now.
(He was always his)
Starscream stood in Megatron’s berthroom, still, uncomprehending, servos stained blue with energon. His wings hung low on his back. His gaze had drifted off to the side at some point during Megatron’s internal monologue, and the Gladiator frowned. Without thinking, he reached for Starscream’s chin and pulled it toward him. “What are you looking at?” he rumbled, and Starscream tensed fearfully. “Look at me. Tell me what you see.”
For a few moments, Starscream was silent. “…You killed him,” he whispered, and it was like the same broken record. Over and over and over again, Starscream just kept saying the same damn thing, as if Megatron did not know his own actions.
“We established that already,” Megatron snarled, tightening his grip. Starscream winced. Megatron immediately loosened it to pull Starscream into his lap by the waist. “Say something else, my Weeping Star.”
Starscream froze. For a few moments, everything was silent, and then Starscream asked, in a shaking, whispering tone, “How do you know that name?”
Megatron frowned. What name? “Starscream,” he condescended, “Is the name you have gone by for the past four million years, in case you have yet to notice…”
Starscream flinched. “I’m not incompetent,” he muttered, optics darting to and fro, “And I know what I heard. What did you call me?”
“Starscream.” Megatron rumbled, calling upon an old desire that wasn’t quite his and cradling Starscream’s faceplate in his servo. “Starscream.” He pulled Starscream closer and locked an aileron between two sharpened talons. Starscream tensed. “Starscream,” Megatron hissed and pulled the Seeker closer. By now they were faceplate to faceplate. Megatron pressed a kiss against the underside of Starscream’s jaw. “Starscream.” By now the name had turned less of an answer and more a chant. A hymn. Something of reverence. Something to remind Megatron that this—these gray, long, elegant wings, this spark, bitter and ugly—was all his.
Starscream choked on a sob. “Stop it.” He whispered, and it was so close to begging that Megatron’s spark leapt for joy. Yes, he wanted to croon. Beg. “Stop it,” Starscream whispered again, and his wings shook. “You killed him—you—you don’t get to do this to me—” Starscream broke off and tried to detach from Megatron’s chassis. Megatron pressed him close. Starscream could not escape. No, no, no, not from him. “What is wrong with you?” Starscream whispered, and his EM-field clung to his frame. “What is wrong with you?”
Megatron hummed. “Something, clearly,” he voiced, “For I have kept you around so long, Starscream. Is it not the virus of love that you are still alive?” he stroked the edge of a wing. Starscream shivered.
“Love?” he asked faintly. “You call this love?” And it was now that he finally looked at Megatron, incredulous and visceral with a fear that Megatron found himself relishing in. Fear me—he wanted to take that faceplate, pepper it with kisses—fear me with all your spark. Stay with me, warm my spark. My spark, my spark, my spark—
“What else,” Megatron asked softly, “Could it possibly be?”
Starscream went quiet for a moment, before scoffing. “There is something flawed in your processor.”
Megatron hummed. The memory of the depth scan echoed. “Love is a virus,” he reiterated, and removed his digits from the aileron. The moment he did so, Starscream tensed and tried to yank himself away from the heavy arm Megatron kept around his waist.
“I told you the dark energon was wrong,” Starscream snarled, optics crazed. “This isn’t you, my Lord, you don’t do things like this; you hate—”
“Call me that again.”
“—me—” Starscream frowned, puzzled. “What?”
Megatron brought his free servo down to the Seeker’s back, just between Starscream’s wings—an echo of Skyfire’s old action. See, Megatron’s optics danced with dark glee. I can do this too. He may have been yours before he was mine. But… Megatron leaned in and bit at the base of Starscream’s forehelm spike. By now, the sensors around the crest must have lit up with confusion in an attempt to comprehend what just happened. Starscream jolted and Megatron drew back, watching, watching, watching as the data errors piled up from the foreign action, and charge crackled down Starscream’s frame.
(…I’ve had him far longer than you.)
“Call me your Lord.” Megatron rumbled as Starscream’s vents cycled louder. “Call me your Master.”
Starscream’s optics flickered. For a moment it seemed like he was going to cave (as always), but then this alien glint of conviction appeared and he managed to extricate himself from Megatron’s frame. “I know what you’re trying,” Starscream hissed, vocalizer torn. “And I won’t allow it. I won’t.”
Megatron reached out, only to pause for a moment. That moment was all Starscream needed. The Seeker shifted and blasted through the Nemesis halls. Megatron listened, unflinching, as the roar of Starscream’s engine and the cries of frightened Vehicons echoed. ::Knock Out:: he greeted, only marginally disappointed. ::What is it that you have for me? Good news, I hope?::
::More than a few good things, my Liege.:: Knock Out answered between yawns. The blubbering of a sparkling—Wildbreak, Megatron remembered—was heard in the background. ::And someone.::
::Someone?:: Megatron thought for a moment. ::Location, Knock Out.::
::Med Bay.::
::I will be there in a klik.::
Knock Out muttered an affirmative and closed his end of the comm line. Megatron sat still for a moment, relishing in the lingering warmth of Starscream’s frame and lamenting its loss—the Seeker will be back, he assured himself, he always comes back—before moving to attend to Knock Out’s request.
O~O
Knock Out shifted. Behind him, a figure was inspecting the synthetic energon formula. Megatron couldn’t help the grin. “Shockwave.” He greeted. “My advantage.”
“Lord Megatron.” Shockwave shifted. “My pleasure to serve.”
O~O
AND THAT'S WHERE IT ENDS WHAHKJSHFKJASdfasjkf 😭😭
Hope you enjoyed lmao, unfinished as it is. <3

what was the creative process behind your spike fic? i always love reading your notes on creating fic!
OMG, anon, thank you for the opportunity to ramble!
I'm actually gonna put a cut on this thing because I know people will want to scroll past the absolute wall of text I'm about to put out. I'm literally gonna write an essay on the birth of this beast, timeline-wise.
Kay. So, I've been reading a ton of Spike fics in like the last month or two. Before that, I was bouncing around with The Vampire Diaries, Star Wars, Star Trek, a lot of sci-fi/modern/futuristic stuff. I think that made the progression easier for me to 'get into' writing a modern fic.
This might be a bit dumb, but I cried when I found out that Michelle Trachtenberg died. Buffy was the legit first thing me and my dad had in common when I was a teenager (extenuating circumstances, but let's just say that we didn't get on great due to mutual, if separate, issues). It was a bit of a gut punch, you know? So I started looking at old Dawn fanfics I'd read back in the day—sue me, but when I was like 14 and my biggest crush was Spike, I read Dawn x Spike (given that I wasn't involved in wider fandom discourse at the time, I wasn't exactly literate on the whole ew-that-ship-is-NOT-okay thing)—and stumbled across the oldies I pored over. Geez, I swear fanfiction.net used to be a better quality site? Haven't been there in literal years, and I've gotten so spoiled by AO3 that it felt a bit like slummin' it. But the trip down memory lane was fun. Ran out of steam for Dawn x Spike, so I turned to Spuffy, Spander, Spillow, read all my old faves. Then I saw that there were new Buffy Funko Pops, and as a Funko ho I got them. Then I started rewatching episodes here and there. All the scenes of Spike getting verbally shat on by Buffy in Seasons 5 and 6 made my heart hurt—funny, because I don't really recall if it was quite so horrible to watch as a kid—and I was like "see, this is where fanfic comes in." Decided to hop back online and see if there were any good Spike x OC/Reader fics. A few, and really good (I'll reblog my reads if anyone's interested in that at all), but nothing that scratched the exact itch I was after. The whole "Spike should have an ending where he doesn't have to hide or excuse a part of himself" itch. Then the creativity itch started up.
I've been a bit leery of writing fanfic for a bit. Well, posting it, anyway. Done bits and bobs of ToE, but nothing substantial enough to put up as a complete chapter update. I've also been dabbling with Star Trek (Spirk x Reader, lol) and TVD fic (Klaus x Reader x Elijah, can you tell I like threesomes?), but neither of those are done. The latter is more done, and I might post that eventually, but it got away from me a bit because I made the mistake of just yeeting ideas out without making some sort of plan. Same with the Star Trek fic, TBH. I've sorta smutted myself into a hole with both—too much detail, to the point it reads like a blow-by-blow and I'm exhausted just reviewing it. The pacing's all wonky. So anyway, I sat on an idea of a Spike x Reader, partially based on old maladaptive fantasies I used to invent as a teen while trying to fight off insomnia. Being Buffy's sister. Being the one Spike falls for. It felt like the right move, in the name of nostalgia, to tackle an old daydream. And I think I've already mentioned that I've wanted to write a relationship fic using external character POVs, partly because I'm a freaky little voyeur, partly for drama and partly because it's an interesting way to practice at writing each character. If you can believably write in an approximation of their voice, you understand them, right?
Wasn't hard to draft some dot points about the order of development (something's up > too close at funeral > twoo wuv confession > sads after Buffy > catch post-nut > catch mid-nut > catch pre-nut > big blow-up > semi-resolution > happy days). Wasn't originally going to include Angel, but given Spike's hate-on for him and the necessity of filling in another character blank, I felt it held up to include him. The only possible place he could fit was Joyce's funeral, seeing as he was present in canon there, so there he was assigned. I had to think logistically in my assignments: I started with Xander getting to view the live graphic smut show, seeing as how he basically cops the same thing with Buffybot. That was a fun scene to write! I then went back to the 'huh, why's Spike being weirder than usual?' intro scene and decided that if it were anything more intense, Buffy'd probably just kill him, so she had to get that one. The other intimate scenes (confession, post- and mid-smut stuff) had to go to characters who wouldn't dob Spike and Reader in, so Anya, Dawn and Tara they went to. Dawn couldn't have the confession, she was busy being sacrificed by Glory, and she definitely couldn't have the active smut bit because she's a kid and ew. Giles got the post-Buffy's-death mourning sequence because he's mostly absent in Season 6 and I wanted to preserve that. I knew it was going to end with either Reader or Spike POV (to hit home how SWAG things are), and that basically left Willow by default with the confrontation scene.
I wrote it all out of order. Xander first, back to Buffy, then Angel, then Tara, then Anya, then Giles, then Dawn, and then Willow - Reader - Spike occurred in sequence. Had to do some editing to get them to flow on, but the beauty of the separated scenes meant that the internal monologue didn't have to be consistent between scenes. Each character's limited by what they know, which is most apparent in Giles's POV, given that he's interpreting Spike/Reader as a developing closeness rather than a secret affair masquerading as flirtation which I hope is what comes across. For authenticity, I tried to preserve the spelling, punctuation and grammar norms relative to the regions of origin for each character—everyone bar Giles and Spike have Americanised English (which I frequently stuffed up and have had to go back countless times and re-edit), while those two have good ol' British/Australian English. Not a thing most will notice, but I was determined to make that a thing, even if people don't necessarily think in words requiring correct spelling. Don't ask me why this was a compulsion, just blame my rampant autism.
I was mostly done with the fic by the time I started posting it on AO3. It came outta me with a quickness that I haven't had in a long time. I think it was mostly because I didn't really expect it to go anywhere initially; it was an itch to scratch like my other non-HotD fic dabblings, and I probably wouldn't finish it. Also, it didn't carry the burden of all these developed plot points as a brand-new fic, nor the weight of getting through the narrative arc due to the indeterminate time jumps and shifts in POV. Then I didn't really have any intention of posting it. Then it grew wings, and I decided to post on AO3 just because it seemed right to do. It actually wasn't well-edited the first go round, and I've gone back around 20 times since to change little bits that I didn't notice (I've since discovered that the easiest way for me to spot issues on my own is to post/draft it to AO3 and read it on my phone before bed, seems tired me is a picky beetch), which is annoying because I'm a perfectionist nutjob and the modern lingo did my head in a bit. I'm used to writing very floral, formal, medieval prose—very proper—and using all those contractions and incomplete sentences sent me 'round the bend. But CHARACTER CONSISTENCY, Em, CHARACTER CONSISTENCY. Must flagellate myself for the sake of realism. It helped to lean on over a decade's worth of fanfic consumption, some remembered and many hundreds not. I also think I've been a bit through the emotional/mental health wringer, so maybe there's an element of no-fuss-no-muss bleeding through? I dunno. Psychoanalysis isn't my strong suit.
I... think my answer's gotten away from me. Or maybe reads like I think I've created the next Iliad or something. Nah, it's just an excuse to write smut with one of my oldest platinum-blonde bad-boy-with-a-clear-lack-of-conscience crushes. It's nice to extend my writing abilities, diversify them a bit. I honestly didn't think I was going to move away from historical/fantasy fic, but I do have ideas for other stuff and it's cool so far getting to explore that. I struggle with single one-shots, so naturally I'm writing more to the story with a sequel. Much more direct, this next one—Spike POV only. It weaves back into some canon events, but brings up new stuff too in an attempt to generate more conflict and to showcase Spikeyboy being a kept house-husband, essentially. It ain't the chip in his head neutering him, it's the fact that his nuts are in Reader's little handbag. We see in Season 2 how over-the-top devoted he can get, and he never got the chance to show that with Buffy, so why not give him a gal just vulnerable enough for ol' Spike to swoop in and save the day for?
Anyway, yeah. There's my answer. I hope this is the deep-dive you were after, nonnie! Thanks for the question!

POST WHERE I TALK ABOUT MY HERO OUTFIT DESIGNS FOR END OF SEASON 2 SLASH SEASON 3 PRIME DEFNDERS :33 LONG ASS POST FOR THE RECORD
also I have pictures of their og design in this so. warning for white skinny pd jumpscare /joking
for sake of navigation I'm going in the order I drew them, and the order theyre in on the above image heart emoji.
Tumblr media
"Virion" Vyncent Sol up first!! also can we talk about how his hero name is straight up just his name. lol. lmao even.
I HAD THE MOST PLAN FOR VYNCENT GOING IN TBH I wanted something similiar to the origami outfit while still staying reminiscent of his old outfit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I knew I wanted the jacket and I went with the turtleneck so it was the same as Jason's outfit. also Jason has really cool glove sleeve things I thought that was so fucking cool guys. and vyncent is generally from an actual outfit standpoint like... really simplistic? so just ourple pants and boots seemed most logical. I liked the mask and it was in both of his old designs so I decided to stick with it.
and then of course. the belts. there are ten total belts on his outfit jot including the two that would come with the sheath LMAO. plus the two pd colored belts on his boots!! I decided while drawing I wanted them all to have something in eachothers colors cause thats really cute.
i MUCHHH prefer the shorter jacket because of how it shows off the outfit and is reminiscent of his s2 post fauna design . . .
generally had the most idea going into his so there was very little in ways of additional sketching
Tumblr media
also the Japanese where Jason's jacket had said Origami straight up just says Knife. I thought that was so funny. ENTIRELY ACCIDENTAL THING his outfit is basically just cantrips but colors flipped LMAO
Tumblr media
BUT THATS ALL FOR VYNCENT. next up is (drum roll please)
Tumblr media
"Wisperer" William Wisp!!! El wiwi himself. OKAY SO AS YOU MAY NOTICE. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE DESIGN I ORIGINALLY POSTED. I had Not been happy with that one because it felt too cluttered and a little out of character so I ended up redesigning his jacket and redrawing the refs.
WILLIAMS OUTFIT WAS REALLY FUN THO I ended up going with a gas mask like he had in the greyscale arc, hoodie (which will get its own paragraph), cargo pants!! for his cargo and gadgets and gizmos, and then. because it's me and he's william. platformish boots laced with the orlther pds colors.
the hoodie was the thing I had changed in the new design because the old design wasn't william wisp enough for me yknow
Tumblr media
i wnjoyed the outfit and it looked really need but it was much more complicated than his original hero suit and didn't really seem like smthn he'd design and wear.
i really liked the wisp belt and wanted to keep that wisp motif, which is why I ended up putting the flames on his sleeves! it looks cool as hell and keeps w the flame designs. IM ALSO SUPER ATTACHED TO THE WISPERER W THAT WAS ON HIS ORIGINAL HERO DESIGN.... so the hoodie has a stylized w.
Tumblr media
also dakota and vyncent beads :)
I HAD A.... PROCESS MAKING THIS ONE LMAO. SO THERES A HANDFUL OF DRAFTS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i cinsidered adding stuff to make his outfit like Silhouettes then remebered i haye Silhouettes outfit. the images are out of order but I'm on mobile and can't be fucked to fix it. NEXT UP!!!!!!
Tumblr media
"DC" Dakota Cole! only SLIGHTLY better than vyncent just using his name, bro is using his initials......
I CHANGED THE LEAST ABOUT HIS DESIGN HONESTLY. it was very nice to just get to draw Dakota though :)
the most I changed was I made it a bit simpler, and changed the jacket to be more like the Hexpert armor
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also made the zipper look like her weird chest thingy....
I REALLY DISLIKE THE SHOES AND THE LITTLE BITS ON HIS ANKLES THOUGH. SO I CHANGED EM. they're now his thing in the others color heart emoji. I'd like to think they all sat down together and brainstormed ways to encorperate eachother into their costumes.....
i also made a little note of the back of hia jacket and I tried to make it look like a jersey
Tumblr media
because he played soccer :)
ALSO.... DAKOTA COLE HONEY YOU SHOULD NOT ME WEARING A BELT EITH A BUCKLE. but it looks cool </3 if a little impractical
BUT THATS ALL OF EM FOR NOW..... love these guys.
next I. tackle redesigning this thing.
Tumblr media
sighs. I so got this

Blanket apology on the lateness to all of these replies.  ┬┴┬┴┤・ω・)ノ
Tumblr media
Head bonks when they’re brushing their teeth over one sink
A persisting argument of Dick wanting to save any stray bugs that make their way into their apartment while Jason wants to eradicate them (because Dick thinks they’re neat, but Jason associates them to an unkept home)
They don’t own a mop, so they make a conga line where Jason shuffles through with a wet towel and Dick shuffles through with a dry towel behind him
Dick coming home with groceries, only for the both of them to go back out again because he forgot the top thing on the list; it happens consistently and Jason has an inkling Dick does it on purpose (he does)
Whipping each other with towels and vaulting over furniture to escape impending doom
Tumblr media
Tucked away in this ask, only I’m not sure what else to add hahaha.
Just Jason consciously falling in love with Dick over a series of mundane moments
So he associates all these little things with Dick in that way young lovers do
A certain route they patrolled, the flickering of a neon sign, the wind pulling through their hair as they sat up high on a skyscraper.  The pounding of his heartbeat as they chased each other, the sweltering heat of a humid day or the smell of a coffee – warm where Dick pressed it to Jason’s cheek and warm throughout his body when Jason sipped at it and let it chase away all the fatigue.  Dawn on the horizon with Dick at Jason’s window - lingering just a moment longer.
Jason being very aware of how smitten he is and doing nothing about it.  Just basking in the present moments as they come and being content in their afterglow.
Tumblr media
This is perfection.  No notes.  Superb.
Uaaaaaahhhhhhhh an art like this must exist, right?  It’s too good not to!!  Damian being ornery with Dick in this sort of capacity (with them both fawning over Jason) is probably my most favorite dc fanon thing hahaha.  Thank you for the visual of this, anon!
Tumblr media
Hahaha, how Dick keeps his degeneracy under wraps is beyond Jason, truly.  Truth be told though, it stops being discreet because Jason’s reactions to all of Dick’s dirty talk is so obvious.  That’s okay though because Dick doesn’t mind.  Even if he goes down, Jason goes with him; they’re partners in life and in their perverse ways.  An accusation Jason adamantly refuses because they are not the same; no way!
To which Dick will roll his eyes but it’s whatever.  Denial is the first step to acceptance.  That besides, it’s not like Jason isn’t the one pulling Dick aside or beckoning him someplace private after Dick drops those suggestions. ;)
Tumblr media
Hahaha, the perpetually single ones for sure.  But I think those who are in committed relationships would be overwhelmingly fond and nostalgic.  Seeing dickjay’s young love, so new and sweet and exciting, would remind them of back when they were first falling in love.  And it’d maybe spark some rekindled romance in their own relationships as they reminisce.
Meanwhile dickjay admiring those who have been in relationships longer because they’re comfortable and settled and really?  They can’t wait to be there, but for now Dick and Jason just enjoy each other day by day. //u///
Tumblr media
There’s a story sitting in my drafts that covers this.  It’s been done for months but tbh having to tag on ao3 is such a daunting thing.  I’ll try to get this posted for you soon, anon.
Tumblr media
This exchange is the closest to eldritch!Dick as I can imagine.
Will-o-Wisp!Dick lives in my head rent free and it’s the closest I think I can get to something eldritch (because I’m dumb I don’t actually get what it’s supposed to be LOL).  Or something akin to a will-o-wisp.  With Dick being able to twist his voice and image to lure people into the bog that is Gotham’s bowels.  He usually makes himself known as a robin chirping in the night; a warning song.
Other times he’ll appear as a child, dashing through shadows with laughter echoing through alleys.  A beautiful boy that lures criminals away from the main streets and any lingering lights, or guides innocents someplace safer.
And then there’s Dick Grayson, grown and bewitching with the mirthful light in his eyes and a wicked smile; bared teeth and a jaw that might be too sharp.
Dick becoming an urban legend in his own right.  Where he’s ‘passive,’ only not really.  He guides people through Gotham and depending on the situation, Dick will bring them home.  Or he’ll walk them off a building’s ledge, into oncoming traffic, or for those most wicked – infront of the muzzle of Red Hood’s gun.
Tumblr media
This post.
Ahahahaha, thank you so much!  Jason getting all flustered after being exposed (by himself, no less) is so charming.  For as much as I love maiden!Jason, he’s probably a bit of a freak ngl.  Like Jason probably kink shames himself after bringing up something he’d like to try with Dick and Dick sputters because the depravity is !!!
Just Jason basing the validity of some of his kinks on Dick’s reaction to them because Dick is the most depraved man he knows.
Of course even when Jason catches Dick off guard (surprisingly often), Dick gets on board real quick.
But yeah, without fail I think it’s always Jason that exposes his own kinks.  And he’s not casual about it at all once he realizes and that exposes himself further and it’s the most vicious of cycles, hahaha.
Tumblr media
In reply to this ask.
Tbh, no change LOL.  Dick’s domesticity kink and how he reacts to Jason being domestic transcends time and circumstance.  So, basically:  Simp King!Dick Grayson.  Who is genuinely turned on by stupid, mundane domestic things but who also plays up his reactions because it makes Jason laugh and fluster and Dick loves to see that.
The visual of Dick being taken out at the knees or falling into the wall for support or just keeling over a bit while biting his sleeve because Jason is cooking/cleaning/doing laundry is just so silly hahaha.  Or even Dick just being all sparkly and flowery because yeah, check out his boyfriend (only don’t, thanks) being so sweet and caring and wonderful.  //U////
But also the heated moments because of course.  Where Dick:
Hooks his chin over Jason’s shoulder as Jason cooks something over the stove.  Hands on Jason’s hips and peppering kisses just below Jason’s ear (and in abo setting getting a little high off of Jason’s scent because nothing is more tantalizing than that).  And Jason tries to turn around so that they can fool around a bit, but Dick is all, ‘nope, keep cooking //W////’ and proceeds to just shower Jason in some heavy petting
Oh.  Basically the above, but Jason is washing dishes.  And Dick manages to make Jason come with only the graze of Dick’s teeth at his nape and some dirty promises
Dick pushing Jason back onto a pile of unfolded laundry and having his way with him right there.  ANd Jason loves it in the moment, caught between still hot clothes and Dick burning above him.  Up until they get off and Jason realizes he has to redo laundry.  Again.
It’s cool though.  Dick joins him and they fuck again with Jason bent over the wash, detergent spilling everwhere.
Omg they’re fooling around as the washer is going only to have it flood with suds because they accidentally spilled in too much detergent ahhhahaha
Tumblr media
Honestly torn between Damian wholeheartedly believing possessiveness = protectiveness, or whether he's aware of the difference but was impacted by losing Jason (when Jason left the League) and that loss fucked him up in a way that makes him believe that to keep someone close, you've got to own them. 🤔
Either way, Damian rates Dick low because there's always room for improvement.  There's potential, surely, but generally Dick is too nice.
As for something that constitutes Dick being bumped up to a 10?  Ahahaha, Vampire King!Dick turning Jason and making him his vampire queen and doing so in a way where Jason can only feed on Dick to survive.  And when Jason tries a hunger strike, Dick retaliates by starving Damian somehow.  It's an inconceivable thought if only because Dick is so soft on him, but it would prove very telling.
Tumblr media
Hello, hello~ I’m getting by alright.  Sorry that I’ve not been posting much though!  And that it took so long to reply to this ask. ;3;
But yeah, Talia and Jason.  Because I’m a sucker for Jason whump forever and always, I’m partial to a relationship where Talia only cares for Jason because of his relationship with Bruce.  So there’s no love or genuine affection there for Jason as an individual, just as a convenient means of achieving a faroff goal.  Where Jason is, once again, collateral damage.
That’s a disservice to Talia though so like, reserved mother figure or just a lady who is fond of the nanny/bodyguard she found for her son is cool, too!
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading so many of my posts!  It makes me happy that you enjoyed enough to read more. ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ♡
Jason winning over the hearts of all the shop employees because despite his intimidating stature, Jason is a timid maiden as he wanders the shop.  His gaze keeps wandering to the delicate lingerie and corsets, but Jason’s convinced it’d be dumb on him because he’s not exactly dainty
Queue encouraging salespeople and clientele and Jason being so flushed that everyone falls in love with him
Also everyone being like, hot damn, because that bust to waist ratio?  Sinful.  Who’s the lucky guy that landed him?
It’s the atmosphere of the place that gets Jason sharing a picture of Dick and oh boy does Jason preen as everyone admires his boyfriend.
Just Jason having a good time despite the initial (and persisting because he’s a maiden) embarrassment lol.
And then he gets home and omgggggg Dick
Dick sneaks in and catches Jason trying to lace up the corset on his own and Dick is such a goner because hot damn hot damn he’s fainting don’t call for help though, just cushion his fall with those bolstered tits; let Dick catch himself with hands braced on that cinched waist fuuuuuuuuuu–
For real, Dick is just so delighted because Jason is so gorgeous (and cute and sweet, because of course he flusters and tries to explain everything away, but Dick isn’t a fool; he’s fully encouraging and supportive)
Then it’s just Dick pulling the corset tight for Jason
And marveling at the way he pulls Jason’s breath from him
Looking over Jason’s shoulder to watch Jason watching himself in the mirror
Then running his hands over Jason so that he can watch through the mirror
And when their eyes catch Jason is blushing red and the corset already has him short of breath, but seeing Dick’s heated gaze has him feeling faint–
Then Jason wakes up and Dick is all sheepish because he might have pulled the corset too tight, whoops; they were both a little overzealous
Dick wanting to go with Jason the next time he goes shopping.  He wants to pick something for him, too ;)
Tumblr media
This ask.
Bahaha for comedy the baby is absolutely Clark and Jason's. Logic be damned, Bruce would be positively teeming with rage directed solely at his 'partner,' his 'better half,' his 'we're divorced now' bestie and just. One would think Superman went and impregnated Bruce's babygirl as opposed to the cloning that actually happened.
But yes, basically Bruce being mad because:
Clark 'knocked up' Bruce's darling babygirl
Clark is the father
The baby isn't Bruce's
Poor Clark can't catch a break, either, because Dick? He is his adoptive daddy's son through and through and is also teeming with rage directed solely at his 'hero,' his 'most revered mentor,' his 'i'm disowning myself now' second father figure because like. Really?? Dick just bought a ring?? ('But you haven't had your first date yet?' Clark would note, to which Dick would bristle because, 'It's serious-- ;n;').
Let's not forget Damian 'brocon' Al Ghul-Wayne, either. Because ahahaha. Even while Jon is dropping the biggest hints about being disappointed and wanting to start a family with Damian, Damian is zeroed in on Jon's dad because Clark and Jason? Absolutely not. As you might guess, Damian is teeming ahahaha. Because to him, Jason is simultaneously mother and babygirl. In that same vein, Damian's place as t h e b a b y in Jason's life has been stolen from him and he's distraught.
Meanwhile Tim is with Kon and they're just like, PHEW. Thank fuck. But then just a few seconds later they're fooling around because, 'no clones here; I'll put a baby in you myself,' and 'yeah? go ahead and try. ;)'

i wanna rant about something that's like. IDK JUST CAME TO ME LMFAOO
i left the app for an entire year because of this but basically it is sooo understandable when writers just dip off the app after being on it sooo much. like i get it tbh.
and a lot of the time it’s not necessarily just real life stuff or maybe they started not enjoying tumblr anymore etc. IT DEFINITELY CAN BE but i really do think for almost everyone it’s actually burnout lmao. or you just don’t love the media you post / your blog was centered around anymore like you used to. so you have no reason to be on there anymore. like the brainrot festered away and so did your will to write for fic so what does it matter if you’re on there yk… mutuals really do make you wanna stay but sometimes that is not enough because you feel like you have to be on there and it doesn’t really feel as good 💔 especially when you’re not joining in the fun with everyone because you’re not really feeling it or want to in the way they are LMFAOOO. like yes you are on tumblr for yourself but let's be real. mutuals make it 10000000x more fun.
and my reason specifically was i had crazy animanga burnout. it was so bad like i really didn’t wanna watch or read anything and or force myself to get into for blorbos for some reason like. i had enough LMAO i was so fried from fanfiction in general too and i just really didn’t feel like being on the app anymore because i also lost my desire to write. i also got a full time job and then started school again at some point so yeah i didn’t see a reason to be on there except mutuals but it really wasn’t enough 😭
and so i think a lot of writers rn who have been off the app for a long while, not necessarily deactivated, did too tbh. it’s not always “tumblr isn’t the same” or “real life got to me” like no you just… either don’t feel like being on there anymore or you see no reason to anymore. cuz you can always make time for tumblr technically LMAO
but here’s the really cool thing. tumblr and its people are always here. lots of people come and go but a lot more come and stay!!! tumblr is here for you for years and it will welcome you back whenever you’re ready!! i randomly decided one year later to start watching anime again because i was talking to a guy at the time who told me he liked blue lock. and i thought oh let me watch blue lock with him why not (i ended up blocking him like. halfway thru our s1 watch LMFAOOO and continued the rest myself and got crazy giddy about isagi and rin out of nowhere. i was like oh i remember back on tumblr people were into it in 2022, like loosely when the anime came out but i was like. idk if they are into it anymore, then i read the manga and caught up and started going crazy i was like. I WANNA WRITE. I WANNA WRITE!!!!!! so i sat and wrote a few drafts for isagi but i also wanted to go on the app and see and find content, and see what my mutuals at some point wrote ONLY TO COME IN AND SEE THAT BLUE LOCK IS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT LMFOASKSJDHF so i was like!! yoo!!!!! AND THAT THE SAME PEOPLE (a few gone </3 but) ARE STILL HERE!! HAVING NEVER LEFT!! cuz i had totally not logged into the app in over a year, didn't check or anything lmao like that's how bad it was
AND THEN PPL DIDN'T FORGET ME LOL? WHICH WAS WACK? NOT TO GET EMO BUT THANK UUUUU ;__; omg. OMG. like hello imagine if everyone was gone LDJKGHFJK IM SO GLAD
anyway i do wish we could be on here all the time and i dont blame others for leaving but man u rlly like. have no control over it LMFAOOO

latest fics / first lines
tagged by @maulthots (omg ty cathy<33)
Rules: post the beginning lines of your most recent 10 published fanfics, then attempt to tag 10 people!
tagging @badkitty3000 @maladaptivecoffeedreaming @cutemothman @starcrossedjedis if you wanna do it or any other writing friends who want to do this??
I only have one published fic at the moment bc I suck but I'm going to throw in some wildcards from my unpublished WIPs 😂
50 Ways to Fix the Timeline | The Umbrella Academy, Five, Five/OC [rated M, 9/12 chapters, 56k words]
When Five followed what appeared to be another him into a subterranean diner, below an inter-dimensional subway station, the last thing he expected to find was a room full of versions of himself.
Bullshit | The Umbrella Academy, Five, Five/Reader [WIP, I think this is my next fic after 50 Ways, 5k so far!]
“Jesus Christ, Lila, hurry up!”
Live and Let Die | Fargo, Mr. Wrench, Mr. Numbers, OC, Wrench/OC/Numbers [WIP, 14k words, some of my best writing tbh]
The dingy little diner sat somewhere off the beaten path, miles and miles outside of the city center of Fargo, North Dakota.
Wait For Me | Stranger Things, Eddie Munson, Eddie/OC [WIP i'll probably never finish, 37k]
It started as a sound: an incessant wail against the pitch-black nothingness, piercing through eardrums and alerting every sense among the body.
I've gotta be real, a lot of my focus for a while has been many umbrella academy WIPs so my drafts are full of them, all Five focused, here are a few random first lines for fun:
"They were the cause; it was always them."
"To say that you hated Valentines Day would, of course, be an exaggeration."
“Just trust me on this, Cinco!”

hi wife. here's a genuine question :)
what's your writing process? how do you get from idea to finished work? for poems, proper stories, etc.
Oooo an actual question! Time to ramble :3
Edit before posting: Holy shit this is long lmaoooo my bad gang. For a guy with not a lot to say I sure do love saying stuff sometimes 😭
Hmmm see I don't really have like, a solid process, because I'm a fucking rabid idiot so I just kinda throw shit at a wall and hope it sticks.
Most of the stuff I post tbh is only like the third or so draft, I don't do a lot of editing really. I prefer to just kinda write from the head or heart and then let it be what it is, rather than letting myself spiral into a perfectionist mayhem. There are poems I've spent like, a month on, but most of the poems are done in like 20 minutes to an hour when I'm feeling *super* inspired.
I usually opt to select the type of poem first, and then jot down whatever rhyme scheme I'll need to do that type of poem. So, for an acrostic (A poem where the beginning of each line creates a message), I'll jot down something like this (with the brackets denoting rhyme scheme):
H (A)
E (A)
L (B)
L (C)
O (B)
And then write from there to fit the scheme. The absolute worst one was Poryadok Becomes Xaoc for my COTL AU, because that was double acrostic (both the first and last letters of a line create separate messages) and still had a rhyme scheme, so I had to plan it something like:
G I (A)
A S (B)
Y C (A)
S O (B)
E O (A)
X L (B)
So then it becomes an absolute fucking nightmare because I had to find not only words beginning or ending with a certain letter, but also make them rhyme. That one tore my head open and I've sworn to never do double acrostic or mesostic ever again, because it sucked ass anyway and wasn't a very enjoyable read.
I also like to go off of the theme for each poem, so I'll usually have a vague idea of what I want to make tone-wise before I've even sat down to write. I like to categorise my work in anthologies, so if they were all printed they'd form a cohesive-ly toned collection rather than just random gargled bits. This is more the case for my personal stuff I haven't shared with most people because I don't want it as a "Joffy" poem but rather I want it to be mine, under my irl name, but I have a reflections anthology looking back on my life, a history anthology focusing on historical events I really like, etc etc. I think it helps me keep it more focused, but I also like just putting things into neat little boxes for my own sanity, so they don't get muddled or have crossover.
You also asked about longer pieces, but tbh it's been a while since I've written anything super long that wasn't Fishy Want Glug Glug xD. It's not that I'm incapable, tbh I think I can do it fairly well, but I just don't find it as enjoyable and I really struggle to focus. The last major large project I wrote was in high school, it was a gothic fiction post-apocalyptic novel about a dude fighting monsters or some shit in my family's hometown of Sligo over in Ireland (a place I've still never been lmao). It was super long, like 50 chapters, and I'm 99% certain it's gone forever now since all the files it was stored in are so old they've probably been deleted.
Also I just find poetry more fun for everyone, and it's a more creative art form. I haven't been doing poetry long, hell I'd never written any at all until I started doing it here about 7 months ago roughly? But I'd studied it a ton at school and college and whatever, so it wasn't a foreign concept. I'm fairly proud of where I am rn, but I wouldn't say any of it is "good" poetry yet, just a decent attempt from a complete novice hobbyist.
So yeah! I think that's it? Sometimes I'll have to Google a rhyme for a word if I'm suuuuper stuck but tbh I'm usually fairly good with vocab and it's not an issue. Also most of the poems are written laying belly-down on my bed in my phone's notes app, although until recently all my poems were saved straight to the Tumblr drafts and written there lmao.
Thanks for the ask, hope this was slightly entertaining!

🌧️🌩️🌪️ :)))))
🌧️Share something angsty from your WIP.
An excerpt from the new chapter of FMF (It's the 1st draft so perhaps it will be changed a tad for the final version)
Hvitserk didn’t let Aegon out of his sight once. He appeared ecstatic, laughing loudly, joking with his friends and teasing the young squire relentlessly. But every now and then when the conversation moved on and excluded him for a moment, he grew quiet, his smile died and the card house he had build for tonight seemed to collapse. But only for a moment, then he seemed all joy and jest again. Hvitserk was worried senseless. He should be on his way home by now. They should be both on their way together. He had agreed. But as he kept trying to tap him on the shoulder, pull him away to talk to him alone or when that didn’t work, try to whisper to him, it was as if he didn’t feel or hear him at all. Or maybe he just didn’t want to, stubbornly holding on to this charade of strength.
🌩️ Share something funny/cracky from your WIP.
This is from my "canon" Hvigon AU that has no title yet and I don't know if I'll ever publish it tbh (it ties into my huge AU, it's complicated). I hope it's funny? It's a bit awkward, but I find it funny so...maybe you will too?
Aegon looked at him, Hvitserk pressed his lips together, Aegon sighed. “Well, then”, Aegon pointed with an open hand to one of the cushioned red chairs while he rounded the other to take a seat, “What to do you need to know?” Hvitserk sat and sighed: “Everything.” Aegon was evidently shocked by that and just then Hvitserk realized what he wore. His fancy green robe reached over his knees and was made from a fabric Hvitserk has never seen before. Or felt. He leaned over to touch it. Aegon let him, but eyed him queerly: “What are you doing?” “What is that?”, Hvitserk wanted to know, he lifted the robe a bit, but his pants and boots were as usual as they came. Aegon slapped his hand away: “It’s a robe.” “No, the material.” “Satin?”, Aegon looked at him as if he was stupid. Hvitserk laughed awkwardly: “We don’t have that. Where I come from, I mean.” “Figures”, Aegon took another sip while eying him up and down. Hvitserk took himself a look. He wore a normal green tunic and his usual leather vest and pants with some boots. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. When he looked back up he saw Aegon mockingly smirk at him.
🌪️Sum up a WIP with a few fic tropes/Ao3 tags.
Earlier today I posted a paragraph from my newest Outlander!Hvigon AU (yes I have three WIPs for them right now I am that unhinged).
Tropes would logically include time/world (or even dimension?) travel, Found Family (ish, I mean it's more "Aegon getting adopted by the Ragnarssons") and a bit of there is only one bed because there is only one bed
Tags would be: #a teeny tiny bit angst but mostly wholesome #Hvitserk thinks Aegon's a real life fairy #they're not challenging social norms they are cancelling them #made for each other #healing together And probably some more but that's just from the top of my head lol
Thank you so much for another ask I always love it when you pop up in my ask box <333 (And it arrived dw I am just slow with these I am so sorry)
Hope you had some fun with those bits and pieces, I want to finish all of them so badly, they deserve it <3

- the 3rd draft on my notes HAHAHA
- itallic (you) bold (kaiser) regular (others)
- idk what to put as title 🥹
- idk why I did kaiser tbh pls don't kill me
- words: visors - the helmet face shield
- beware of typos 😭
"Y/N sweetie are you going to school today?"
"yeah, but only to pass this invention of mine, yet I need to try it first, buuuttt i don't know where to try it"
"I'll be home later before dinner mom!"
"Okay then take care sweetie! By the way he's already outside waiting for you!"
"Huh? Who?....wait, it's kaiser isn't it?"
Her mother let out a chuckle as you went outside and saw kaiser leaning on his motorbike scrolling on his phone.
"Why are you here?"
He smirked along with a scoff as he put back his phone on his pocket.
"What else? I'm here to pick you up princess"
"I can manage myself to go to school"
Suddenly you thought about trying on your latest invention.
"Oh wait I can use these roller skates I just upgraded!"
He was confused to what you are saying not until he saw the roller skates you are holding.
"Oh..you mean those?"
"Mhmm"
"Do they go fast?"
"You bet they do" you said with a huff, proudly showing off your latest invention.
Kaiser looked closely on your invention and lets out a smirk.
"Okay put those on, I'm curious how fast can it go, we'll have a race"
She just look at him if he's serious or not.
"H-Huh?"
Kaiser smirked when he saw your reaction.
"You heard me princess, now put those on before I go and put it for you or are you perhaps scared?"
You glared at him as he attempted taunting you.
"NO! I'M NOT!"
"Then put those on, and let's race on the high way, our finish line is the post lamp near to the Berry Cafe"
"Ughh fine wait post lamp? The one near to the Angels Bakery?" He nodded
You sat down on the side walk as you put on the roller skates and kaiser helped you stand up and gave you your pink helmet that he always carry whenever he went to fetch you and put it on.
"Ready?"
"W-WAIT AT LEAST LET ME TURN ON THESE THING"
"fine" he rolled his eyes and it's your turn to smirk as you pushed the on button and started dashing away, leaving kaiser behind dumbfounded.
"HEY! THAT'S A FOUL MOVE!"
"WE'RE NOT IN A SERIOUS RACE IDIOT!" you replied as you gave him the blep expression.
He got triggered and pumped his pace towards you and managed to went ahead from you.
"Woah...not fair your motorbike is sure faster"
"Well you're fine I guess, don't lose to me or else punishments are waiting for you princess" he said and winked at you.
You then pressed on your phone the highest speed for the booster and it indeed went faster and you managed to surpass kaiser's speed.
He got surprised at your sudden dash beside him.
"Tch, you're cute brave enough to match this speed, I like it"
"You're about to loose though..."
He just glared at you and went even more faster. But it's already late cause you already went on the finish line.
The only problem you have right now is you can't stop.
"What? Did the buttons malfunctioned?"
Even kaiser was confused why'd you go pass the finish line. He got a little worried as he drove to you to check up on you.
He managed to catch up on your speed as he opened his visor as he multitask on looking at you and the road.
"WHAT'S WRONG? WHY ARE YOU NOT STOPPING?"
You also opened your visor to properly look at him.
"I-I DON'T KNOW THE BUTTONS MALFUNCTIONED!"
"WHAT?!"
You two are in the middle of a conversation when both of you didn't saw the downhill.
"Wha-WAAAHHHHHHHH!" you screamed from the top of your lungs as you lunged downhill but you managed to balance your body, except it added more speed to your skates.
Kaiser let out a frustrated sigh as he was thinking of how to make you stop.
*HONK! HONK!*
You look in horror as a big truck was coming on its way to you.
"H-Help...am...am I gonna die??" You said outloud as you got stiff while the roller skates shutted down yet the speed is still fast.
Kaiser suddenly thought an idea as he went to catch up with your speed.
"GRABE INTO ME PRINCESS!"
you got off in your trance as you quickly hold kaiser as he hold your waist and the other hand was busy driving the motorbike.
He managed to match your speed and slowed down to the nearby city down hill and stop by to a nearby gasoline station.
"T-Thank you.." you said controlling your tears.
He took off both of your helmets, as he just gave you a menacing look.
"You...you're so careless sometimes"
"S-Sorry.."
He just let out sigh as he parked the motorbike, as you stood there quietly which made him surprised.
"And now you're awfully quiet"
He was about to add another scolding when he heard you sniffing, when he turned he saw you huff your cheeks to prevent yourself from crying.
He let out a chuckle, and went to you wiping off your tears.
"Go on... Talk now princess"
"I-I thought I was gonna die..."
"Mhmm without me you would've been squished by that truck"
He hummed as he calmly wipe your tears looking at you.
"If w-weren't for you I-I..." You're hyperventilating at this point...
He just chuckled and hugged you calming you down, you clutched your hands on his polo shirt as you let out your cries.
"Hush now princess, what matters is you're safe hmm? Now stop crying you look like a douchebag."
You glared at him and wipe your tears and broke off the hug.
"Fuck you, you're not the one who got traumatized today."
"Oh? Still feisty despite of the incident earlier? Love that on you princess"
"Shut up Remy look-a-like"
He looked at you dumbfounded for a while before glaring at you.
"At least I'm a good cook"
"No you're not"
"I basically cooked a Schnitzel for you last time"
"Still, shut up"
"Tch, should've not rescued you a while ago"
"I'M JUST JOKING!"
Kaiser let out a laugh at you change of answers..
Suddenly his phone buzzed, he seemed to got a text from noel noa.
"Princess we need to go back right now..Noa needs me to go for practice"
You suddenly got sad that kaiser is already leaving.
"Can we go to the beach for a minute?"
Kaiser contemplated at first but it's just minutes, it'll not hurt him if he's a minute late right?
"Yeah sure but only for 10 minutes okay?"
"YAAYYY!"
He snorted when you cheered like a kid who their favorite toy.
"LET'S GO!!"
You pulled him on the seashore but hesitated.
"No princess, I'm not going..I'll stay put to watch you here..."
"Tch, bummer"
"Off you go now, you know you only have 10 minutes."
"Oh shit right"
You then quickly took off your roller skate invention and wemt running on the shore as the chill wind blew by to greet you.
You're enjoying yourself splashing on the sea water like a kid.
Meanwhile kaiser was watching you from the distance with a smile on his face, he took out his phone and went to take pictures of you.
He was admiring you from afar his heart thumping freely and he's relieved that you're far or else his secret will get out.
His little secret.
That he's been pinning you for so long.
His only problem is you're dense behavior, despite of his flirting attempts.
But what got him questioning is you not minding him calling you princess or is he delusional?
10 minutes have passed and you went back to him carrying 2 seashells.
"I'm baaaacckk! By the way I just saw these seashells"
"Hmm? Ohh those are very pretty..."
"Yeah-"
"Like you..."
You got surprised at his words and looked at him.
"Wha-"
"L-Let's go back now princess?"
"Y-Yeah"
You two awkwardly went back up as kaiser went to prepare his bike.
"Uhm i'll hold beside your motorbike.."
"You sure princess?"
"Mn"
Kaiser then started the engine of his motorbike.
"You can star-"
You got surprised when he pulled you to him by your waist and gave you a light kiss.
"Y-You-"
"Shush now princess, let's talk about this tomorrow okay?"
You didn't argue further and simply nodded.
"Good girl, now hold tight behind okay?"
"HEY WAIT! DON'T GO ON FULL SPEED!"
"Haha I'm just kidding princess, i'll just go slow this time"
He then started driving in medium speed as you hold on him for dearlife.
He took you safely at home as he then again kissed your cheek goodbye as he went to their daily training.
And yes noa did scold him for arriving late.
Is it worth it? Yeah its worth it.

Patreon sneak peak
hihi ik ive been quiet on here and tbh with what my brains like, i probs will be quiet for quite a while. but anywho! I posted a draft of asher and jack on fluff on my patreon! Here's a sneek peek!
-
Asher’s leg bounced up and down as he sat on the edge of the couch, mindlessly picking at his nails. His eyes were scanning his surroundings. Jack studied him for a moment, eyebrows slightly furrowed in concern, “Ash?”
“Hm?”
Jack gulped realizing what was going on before gently placing his hand on Asher’s knee, the bouncing slowly coming to a halt. Asher finally looked over to Jack who offered him a smile, in which he returned, just a bit more shaky.
“I-I’m sorry… I-I didn't mean to…”

babe! let's do an a03 dream list in the style of a03 wrapped as you start dreaming/writing/creating for TDJ fandom:
- what's one main character you're excited to write about? who's the non-MC and why?
- do you listen to music while creating? if so, what was a good beat this year?
- what are you doing in the day when you get your best ideas/feel most inspired to write?
- fav scene written this year whether it's published or not
Heyyy thank you for the ask !!
-character I'm excited writing about: most of the fics I have in my drafts rn center Gaon or Yohan but I've been stewing an idea where Sunah is the main focus and I really hope I can dig into her character more. I thought while watching tdj that she was a very compelling and touching antagonist (especially towards the end when she finds herself so high up but devoid of any human connection, her regrets about it, etc)
-Do I listen to music while creating: I would while I was drawing and I still am while writing but a bit less ? This year I think I listened to early 2000s rnb the most, it's my favourite genre ! Also delved a bit into George Michael's discography, Fast Love Pt1 might be my fave song of all time at this point lol
-What I'm doing in the day when I get my best ideas: tbh it's probably when I'm sat to do my readings for grad school 😭 I get so distracted...also while I'm on public transport looking out of the window
-fav scene this year: I like this one :3 it still needs some tweaking (im catching a few mistakes/things I'd like to replace as im posting this) and the overall fic is still missing a few scenes, but this was fun to write
