Writer tag game

I wasn’t tagged, but I saw the game randomly posted by another user so I want to play anyway! (red for fic links and blue for series links)

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

35 (and only one draft because I don't really like working on multiple projects at the same time)

2. what's your total AO3 word count?

395,306

3. what fandoms do you write for?

I write the most for Batfam, mostly Tim and Jason but usually, the whole fam (more or less) is also there.

I write a bit more for some other fandoms but there are only one or two fics for each (2021 Produce 101 - Chuang Zao Ying, Hollywood Undead (but these fics are not finished), Julie and The Phantoms (1 fic - finished), Arsenal Military Academy + The Legends (they are kinda connected in 1 fic) and I have like, one translation project too.

I'm hoping to write Star Wars fics one day too. Really like the whole time travel thing and Obi-Wan is my beloved.

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall)

"Back Away From Him."

if i lose everything in the fire, i'm sending all my love to you

Cold

A Pile of Sleeping Birds

5. do you respond to comments?

All of the comments, definitely. I really enjoy reading and replying to them and sometimes, I even come back to re-read the comments to feel validated 🤣

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I write angst a lot but I have a thing for happy endings. But if I look at the fics individually and not like, as a part of a bigger series, it might be i have so much to say but you're so far away. But if not just the ending but the whole plot in general, it can be any fic really (I would recommend Restless Heart Syndrome, And Now You're Home, The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall), and What The Heart Remembers).

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

They all have some sort of happy endings (though some fics that are a part of a series might not but the series will have happy endings). But since all I have talked about is Batfam, I would recommend this from Julie and the Phantoms. I don't write romance often, but this is just a short soft, cute love story of two ghosts (Reggie and an OC based on his real-life wife) plus some humour in the band - ‘Cause I’m Not Too Far And You’re My Favorite Place. I was very satisfied with how it turned out and I still come back to re-read for my own enjoyment a few times so I hope you guys will give it a chance.

8. do you get hate on fics?

My most controversial fic would be Hold Me Close, Don't Let Go (Watch Me Burn) but it's not like people showed hate to me. They just didn't like the story and how I wrote it so there were some unpleasant comments. The newest one, I think I did well with my response. It's a rather heavy fic because I went through a really rough time when I was writing it (along with many others) so if you want to read it, be careful.

9. do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I don't. My fics are all rated G or T (mostly because of swearing and violence, and also some with suicidal theme or idealisation because I did have a really bad time).

10. do you write crossovers?

Just for two fandoms, Arsenal Military Academy & The Legends, because they share the same lead actor and actress so I thought it would be fun to write something about reincarnation. It's Then and Now, Forever and Always.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think I'm famous enough for that.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, into Chinese, actually. It's The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall). The link to the translated fic is in the fic.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Not really. I planned my current series How To Steal A Brother with my friend Den and she is also my beta-reader for this series but I still write all of the stuff, which she reads and corrects the mistakes for me later.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

That's hard to choose. I really like Robin (Dick Grayson) and Starfire. It was like my first ship ever because I watched Teen Titans as a child. I also like Marinette/Adrien, very cute but the secondhand embarrassment is not very healthy for me (at least she has gotten better at interacting with him). The Doctor (10th) and Rose was one heartbreak that got me crying like a baby in 8th grade.

So honestly, I don't think I can pick because those were the three that came to my mind first, but I still have like a few dozen left.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

The Hollywood Undead fic - When Gravity Pulls You In. It was a really fun idea but then I ran into a big writer's block and I haven't recovered for this fic. I have been writing for Batfam again but I doubt I can go back and finish this one (at least anytime soon).

16. What are your writing strengths?

I don't think I'm too good with dialogue but I do have a strength in describing and like some sort of metaphor (English is not my first language so this is a difficult question to answer). I don't know if this is also considered a strength but like I said, I don't really write many fics at the same time so I can manage them pretty well. Most of my fics are completed before I move on to another one.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. And I forget a lot of stuff so I have to go back to the earlier part so the plot won't be inconsistent. And of course, I write in English, which is not my mother tongue, so sometimes, I lack vocabulary or my grammar can feel weird.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I mean, I would add translation or explanation very subtly in there. But I saw a Star Wars fic where the writer had like, floating texts or something for the conversations in Mando'a so like, I will research on that if I need to write in another language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Batfam. Tim-centric.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Damn, that's like asking a parent for their fav child on national television.

In terms of like, wording and metaphors and descriptions and all the technical stuff - And Now You're Home - because some of my fav paragraphs are in here. In terms of logic, time can never change for the flying bird under the summer sun because I went crazy with all the planning for the whole time-travel-but-nothing-changes-the-future thing. In terms of plot, i'm so out of touch with everyone, and everything's a blur to me. This was one of my earlier ones but when I came back to this earlier this year, I found it so enjoyable and fascinated. I couldn't even believe I wrote this one. But it is a part of a series so you might want to check out I've Got You Brother.

This has been fun and I have been shamelessly PR-ing my fics. I don't really know who to tag so anyone else who wants to play, go ahead and have fun!

dating 101 (18+) part 11 - cody rhodes x reader

my masterlist

dating 101 (18+) masterlist

pairing(s): cody rhodes x reader, roman reigns x reader

warning(s): swearing, use of pet names, daddy kink, dirty talk, fingering, cody has a big dick, two idiots being so painfully obvious they have a thing for each other but they don’t know it themselves

genre(s): college!au, slow burn, fluff, light smut

|| previous part || next part ||

cody watched as y/n held up a variety of different dresses up to her figure as she stared at herself in the mirror. roman wouldn’t be there for another 3 hours, but y/n’s nerves had woken her up and y/n had woken cody up. “i don’t get why you’re so nervous about what you’re going to wear. you’ll look stunning no matter what outfit you end up picking.” cody commented from where he was laying in y/n’s bed, her blanket pulled until it was just under his chin as he tried to blink away his sleepiness. he still couldn’t believe he was up so early on a sunday morning just to help y/n pick out an outfit 3 whole hours before her date was supposed to arrive.

y/n sighed, hanging back up the two dresses she was currently comparing and grabbing two more. “i’m going on a date with roman! i want to dress to impress but not like make it seem like i’m trying too hard, you know?” she said, looking at herself in the mirror and holding up the dresses to her body. “besides, it’s my first time ever going on a date. i think i’m allowed to be nervous.” she said, turning to look at cody.

cody looked over the dress she was holding up to her body, thinking for a moment before speaking, “too tight fitting. that’s more of a party kind of dress. i think you should go for a more innocent kind of vibe. got anything more flowy?” he asked, watching her nod her head and hang up the dresses. “to be fair, you’re literally going out to eat with the guy. you’ve eaten with ted and i on one-on-one situations multiple times.” cody pointed out, fighting back a yawn that was creeping up into his throat. he pulled the blanket off of him until half of his upper body was exposed to the cool air of the room, and causing goosebumps to appear on his skin.

“ok, that’s different though. when i go out to eat with you, i’m not trying to impress you. the end goal here with roman is to secure a second date in the near future.” y/n said as she pulled out a white short dress that hugged her waist and bust, but the bottom portion was flowy and loose.

“just don’t talk with your mouth full like how you do with us and you’ll be fine.” cody teased, watching as a blush rose to y/n’s cheeks. he looked over the dress she held up to her body, humming in approval. “put it on.” he told her, already tugging at the blanket and pulling it over his head to allow her privacy.

y/n walked over to where cody was laying, grabbing one of her larger plushies at the foot of her bed and laying it on top of the blanket where cody’s head was. “no peeking.” she warned him, before walking back over to her closet area.

“don’t worry, sweetheart. i’ll only look if you’ll let me.” cody said, his voice muffled under the layers.

y/n turned so her back was to cody, looking over her shoulder once more to make sure he wasn’t peeking, before turning her head back around. she began to get undressed, a blush furiously making itself known on her cheeks as she hurriedly pulled off her clothes. y/n stood in just her underwear, shivering from the cold air as she opened a drawer to pull out her pasties. “can you give me more useful tips for this date? all you’ve told me is to be myself but that’s not going to convince roman to go on a second date with me.” she asked as she stuck the pasties over her nipples. y/n began to pull the dress over herself, as cody laughed.

“the whole part of a date is to get to know the other person and to show them more of you as a person. there’s no point trying to fake who you are.” cody mused, closing his eyes. he needed to get himself one of these blankets, the sherpa inner lining feeling so soft on cody’s skin and keeping him warm. “but i guess you do want to come off as girlfriend material and not just friend material. in that case, don’t forget to be flirty to show that you’re interested in something more. let your touch linger on his arm, say some flirty and suggestive words, and let yourself have fun.”

“with roman?” y/n questioned as she finished pulling the dress on. she looked at herself in the mirror first, adjusting the dress. “cody i cannot touch him, not even like brush my shoulder on his arm. i literally made out with the dude the last time i saw him. if i touch him now, i think i’d actually be set ablaze.”

“well, yesterday you came from me grinding my dick on your pussy and here i am in your bed the very next morning. i don’t think you’ll have much trouble with having to even hold his hand, sweetheart.” cody teased with a laugh. in the next second, he felt her hit him over the blanket with what he assumes to be a plushie.

“ok, you can look.” y/n said, already raising up the plushie over her head so she could hit him as soon as she saw his head. cody peeked out of the blanket, only to be hit square-on with a plushie. his eyes squeezed shut from the sudden contact, and he pulled off the blanket in a hurry. cody reached out, opening his eyes and wrapping his arms around y/n’s waist. she laughed as he pulled her down on the bed with him, flipping them over so that y/n was laying on the bed and cody was straddling her hips.

“oh you think you’re so funny?” cody mused as y/n laughed and nodded her head in reply. cody yanked the plushie out of y/n’s hands and hit her gently on her face, as y/n wiggled under him. “good dress, by the way. looks great on you. but you’d look better with this plushie hitting your face.” he commented, continuing to assault y/n with the plushie.

eventually, cody got off of y/n and got off of the bed, grabbing the girl’s hands and pulling her up with him. he supported her by wrapping his arm around her waist as she stood up in front of him. her giggle fit had died down, and a permanent smile was drawn on her lips.

“there you go. less nervous now, sweetheart?” he asked, keeping his arm around y/n’s waist. cody looked down at y/n’s unable to hide the smile that had soon found its way up on his own lips.

“yeah, thanks cody.” she whispered, meeting his gaze.

“i mean it, the dress looks good on you, but anything you wear looks good on you.” cody shrugged, letting his gaze fall lower as he looked over her outfit. “gives off the right amount of ‘i have no ulterior motives, i want to get to know you as a person and a potential boyfriend’ as well as a hint of ‘this dress is short enough if you want to bend me over’” he teased, his gaze returning to meet y/n’s.

she blushed at cody’s words, shaking her head slightly. “that’s exactly what i’m going for.” she said. she felt cody’s grasp on her waist tighten, and y/n could feel herself grow nervous with each second that passed with her gaze locked with cody’s.

the two stayed like that for a while, just staring at each other and lost in thought. y/n had caught the way cody’s eyes had flickered from hers down to her lips, and y/n would be lying to herself if she said she wasn’t doing the same.

“i think i forgot how to kiss.” y/n found herself whispering. “what if roman kisses me today and i mess up?”

“need another lesson?” cody asked, bringing his free hand up to cup y/n’s face. “it’d be horrible if you came back looking all sad because you forgot how to kiss. i can’t let that happen.” he whispered, meeting y/n’s gaze once more as if asking for permission.

“yeah, you are the one teaching me after all. you’d be a bad teacher if that happened.” y/n mumbled. in the next second, cody’s lips were on hers and her breath was knocked out of her lungs.

no one would be able to kiss her in the same way cody kisses her. the feeling of his lips on hers so gentle that it left y/n wanting more with every press. y/n mimicked the movement of cody’s lips on hers, gasping when cody’s hand had moved from her cheek to the back of her head to pull her in for a deeper kiss.

cody’s tongue had easily gained dominance over hers, and he began to walk them backwards until y/n’s back and hit her mattress. “just like that.” cody whispered once he pulled away, opening his eyes to catch the way that y/n laid breathless underneath him. he adjusted them so that y/n was laying comfortably on her bed and cody was hovering over her, placing himself between her legs and holding himself up with his arms.

“what time is it?” y/n found herself asking as she stared up at cody. when cody reached for his phone on the bed to check the time, y/n adjusted herself so that her legs were wrapped around cody’s waist. she brought her hand up, staring at cody’s bare chest and tracing over his “dream” tattoo with her finger.

“6:24.” cody answered, setting his phone back down on the mattress. he averted his attention back down to y/n, one of his hands traveling downwards to rest on her leg. cody pushed y/n’s dress up, as he kept his attention on her reactions, and feeling satisfied with the way y/n’s face had turned a deep red.

“i never got to help you finish yesterday…” y/n said, her voice trailing off as cody began to rub his hand up and down along her leg. she brought her arms up, wrapping them around cody’s neck.

“left me with blue balls, sweetheart.” cody hummed, leaning down to capture y/n’s lips in a kiss. he pressed his hips flush against hers, feeling her gasp against his mouth and sliding his tongue against hers.

y/n moaned into the kiss as cody rolled his hips against hers. after a moment, she pulled away and stared cody in the eyes, as she challenged, “doesn’t seem like you mind, though. you haven’t done anything about it, daddy.”

cody scowled, his hand pushing y/n’s dress up and earning him a gasp when the cold air hit y/n’s exposed skin. he ran his hand over the material of her underwear, hooking his finger on to the top and beginning to pull it off of her. “tell me you don’t want this, and i’ll stop right now.” he whispered, leaning down to press his forehead against hers and meeting her gaze.

y/n tilted her head up, her eyes fluttering shut as she pressed her lips against cody’s, moaning as he slid his tongue into her mouth out of pure instinct. she bucked her hips up against his before unwrapping her legs from around his waist. she pulled away from the kiss and brought her arms down from cody’s neck. she rested her hands on his chest, dragging one of her hands down to press against his abs gently as she felt his body. “but if i told you that, i’d be lying, daddy.” she whispered. the way cody’s gaze had darkened at her words sent shivers down her spine and y/n could swear this would be the most aroused she would be in her life.

a rip could be heard in the room, causing y/n to gasp in shock. “cody!” she yelled, realizing that cody had quite literally tore her underwear off of her.

“shut the fuck up.” cody practically growled, begging to tug at y/n’s dress. he watched the way y/n’s gaze had widened in shock, although the small moan she made let him know that y/n had enjoyed hearing him. “i’ll buy you new ones. now take off this dress before i rip it off of you too.” he ordered, leaning in to peck her lips softly before leaning up to sit back on his legs.

y/n couldn’t describe the whiplash or the wave of emotions she was currently feeling in that moment. cody had sounded so primal and menacing with the way he was ordering her, but the way he had just kissed her had been so delicate that y/n could have sworn a ghost had kissed her. however, with the way cody was staring at her now, y/n knew better than to keep him waiting any longer. she sat up, pulling the dress off her her with his assistance and throwing it off. she also quickly peeled off her pasties, suddenly feeling body conscious as cody took her dress and pasties and let them fall to the floor.

the entire time, cody’s gaze had been fixed on her. y/n could only describe the look on his face to be hungry. she crossed her arms over her chest, trying to cover herself up, but was quickly stopped by cody grabbing her wrists. he pulled her arms away from her chest as he guided her to lay back down on the mattress. he kept his grip on y/n’s wrists and pinned them above her head, leaning down to kiss her gently.

“don’t hide yourself from me, sweetheart.” cody whispered against her lips, letting go of one of her hands and reaching down to cup her breast in his palm. he kneaded her breast, eating up her moans hungrily. he pulled away from her lips, hearing her gasp and moan under him as he trailed kisses down her neck to her chest. “you’re so fucking beautiful, y/n.” he breathed out, before taking in her other nipple in his mouth. cody sucked, licked, and nibbled on her nipple while he played with the other with his hands. he was fueled by the way y/n was moaning and writhing under him.

“daddy.” she gasped out, bucking her hips up against him. “no fair, you still have your shorts on.” she mumbled, arching her back and moaning when cody pinched her nipple.

“someone’s getting impatient.” cody mused once he pulled away, leaning back up to press a sweet, quick kiss to y/n’s lips. “but i guess it is unfair, i’ll play nice just for today.” he whispered, pushing himself up.

y/n whined at the loss of warmth, but propped herself up on her elbows to watch cody begin to pull down his shorts and boxers. her eyes widened as she watched cody’s cock slap up against his lower stomach, a blush rising to her cheeks. she was correct about cody being thick, but she hadn’t expected the man to have length on his side as well. god truly had favorites, and cody is one of them.

“cody.” she began, her voice barely above a whisper.

cody let his shorts and boxers fall to the floor, before adjusting his position on the bed. he wrapped his hand around his length, feeling it pulse in his hand as he stroked himself slowly. a corner of his lips turned upwards into a smirk as he observed y/n’s reaction. he brought up his other hand, cupping her chin and tilting her head upwards to meet his gaze. “yes sweetheart?” he responded, rubbing his thumb across her bottom lip gently.

“there’s no fucking way that monster is fitting in me.” she breathed out, to which cody could only laugh at.

“don’t worry, princess. i’ll admit, i’ve never been with a virgin before but i’ll do my best to take care of you.” he whispered, leaning in to capture her lips in a kiss as he pushed her back down on the bed. cody stopped stroking himself and pressed his hand against her core, running his fingers along her opening and using his thumb to rub circles against her clit. “i wasn’t joking about splitting you open, y/n. but i’ll be nice and get you all stretched out for me.” cody mumbled as he pulled away from the kiss and watching the way her face twisted in pleasure as he finally pushed a finger into her core.

I write a fanfiction about Kaz having a sister in Wattpad, named Adjala Brekker. And I just got the craziest idea. Kaz is always the baby sitter for Adjala's kids so why not write headcannons?

So I just made a few headcannons about Kaz babysitting his niece Jordan, and his two nephews Johannes and Kaz jr.

( Everytime you see a mom approved, it means the kids' mother approves of the activity )

1. "Uncle Kaz's House of Schemes": Kaz turns babysitting into a series of elaborate games and puzzles for the kids. It's like a mini heist every time they visit, complete with clues and riddles to keep them entertained. (Mum approved)

2. Kaz's version of "nap time" is "quiet planning time": When it's time for the kids to take a nap, Kaz uses this opportunity to quietly plan his next big scheme. He's convinced they're the perfect cover for his brainstorming sessions. (Mum approved)

3. Candy heist training: Kaz teaches the kids the fine art of candy heists, complete with disguises, diversion tactics, and a secret candy stash. They're the most resourceful trick-or-treaters in Ketterdam. (Mum not approved)

4. The "Ingenious Bedtime Routine": Kaz has a knack for getting kids to bed without fuss. His secret? He tells them thrilling stories about his heists until they're too excited to stay awake. (Mum approved)

5. Tiny suits and dresses: Kaz insists that the kids wear tiny suits and dresses, just like him, when they go out together. It's a comical sight seeing them dressed as miniature versions of him. (Hehe definitely mum approved)

6. Teaching the art of negotiation: Kaz imparts his negotiating skills to the kids, coaching them on how to haggle with street vendors for the best deals on toys and treats. They quickly become savvy little traders. They negotiate with daddy alot too, and their daddy always falls for this (Their dad hates this, so mum approved)

7. The "Kaz Jr. Inheritance Fund": Kaz secretly sets up a savings account for each of the kids, earmarking it as their "inheritance." He insists they learn about managing their finances from an early age. (Uncle Jes and Mumma approved)

8. "The Kaz Bunker" (my fav) : In the event of a "Kaz-sized emergency," he's built a secret bunker (a well-fortified blanket fort) in the living room. It's the perfect hiding spot for epic pillow fights and strategizing. (There's photo evidence -Inej) [mum approved - Kaz's sister]

9. Poker night (ft. Uncle jes, Daddy and uncle Wy) : Kaz introduces the kids to poker night, using candies as chips. It's all in good fun until Jesper's uncanny ability to bluff leaves Kaz Jr and Johannes with an empty stash of candy, while Jordie has a whole lot to herself. Wylan always gives his candy to Kaz jr in the end. Elijah (the kids' dad) sits their and sticks his tongue out to his brother in-law whenever he wins, only to me met by the Lethal Brekker sibling glower. (The mother doesn't aprove of this, their dad does tho)

10. Lessons in lockpicking (childproof, of course): Kaz teaches the kids the basics of lockpicking, with a set of child-friendly locks and tools. They think it's just a game, but it's secretly a life skill. (The parents don't aprove since candy is always being stolen from the kitchen)

11. Kaz and naps : when the kids' parents get back from date night of smth, they see uncle Kaz and the kids in the Kaz Bunker fort, or all of them on the ground, surrounded my toys and Kaz is laying flat on his stomach and Kaz jr is snoozing on top of him and Jordan and Johannes are snoozing in the corner. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how the bastard of the barrel gets his sleep. (Inej has photo evidence) [Daddy and mumma approved]

12: Lifeskills (ft. Uncle Matty, aunty 'nej and aunty Ninny) : so Kaz gets his gang together to preach Lifeskills to his nephews and niece. Uncle Matty adores the mini demjins. Aunty 'nej takes them in sea trips (Aunty ninny brings the snacks) [ pappa and mumma approved]

13. Shark stare classes 101: in which Kaz teaches his little trainees the signature bombastic side eye and shark like stare, along with the lethal Brekker glower, which always has the kids' dad running for the HILLS, cuz they look like his scary wife and terrifying brother in law. (Daddy and Mumma approved ladies and gentlemen)

A fanfic for this :

I'm tagging a few of the biggest SoC enthusiasts I know : @she-posts-nerdy-stuff @ell0ra-br3kk3r-writes @marsconer

This Week In BL - Everything is Awful or New or Both

Feb 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessmen t of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 11 of 12 - It’s an ep 11 so we knew this was gonna be a downer. This was definitely a “date me date my friends” kind of situation. At this rate, GeminiFourth’s other characters in Chicken are going to kiss before TinnGun do. I love Tinn’s dad. Also, it looks like our a tiny little ship of crumbs is sailing. How cute is that!? Sunshine + sunshine! Bonza.

Bed Friend (Sat YT & iQIYI uncut) 1 of 8 - Fuck buddies get messy, AKA Between Us the second cumming only this time in an office (and on a desk). I have been waiting for James to hold down (or be held down in) a BL for years! All hail the new kings of high heat. BUCKLE UP I GOT A LOT TO SAY. I like that there’s a dark underbelly (*snicker*) of trauma to this one, it has a slightly a Japanese feel which suits mature characters and an office setting. King’s yearning worried eyes are glorious. Poor thing, he totally adores this beautiful broken fragile boy and doesn’t know how to capture his attention. I admit Net was the one I worried about with this pair. James was always gonna be great. It turns out, I didn’t have to worry. This is an awesome show and I fucking love it. It nearly scooped the top spot. Frankly this is the Office BL I have been WAITING for Thailand to give us.

NOTE: I watched both YT’s cut and iQIYI’s uncut version. (Anyone else feel odd using those terms under a high heat BL context?) I like YT’s better, mostly iQIYI’s interface is shit. Deets? There was a little extra from the “morning after regrets flashbacks” but not so much I think you’ll regret missing it. Unless you REALLY prefer high heat. The emotion of the sexual connection and Uea’s lonely submissive need was transmitted in both versions, but the iQIYI is slightly more MOAR.

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 10 of 12 - Flashbacks to the cutest boyfriends ever and then PAIN. All I can think is “thank fuck this was handed to Pond & Phuwin.” One of the world’s saddest executions of the sniff test trope. Meanwhile, Perth is SO GOOD but I wish Chopper would record his conversations with his dad. Look, we all know Chopper is gonna take his dad’s bullet for Nuengdiao, right? Oh well, if you didn’t know, I just told you.

Moonlight Chicken (Weds YT) 3-4 of 8 - The plot... erm... thickens. I told you Jim had a tragic backstory with an ex. And now it’s all gotten VERY messy. Sigh. Fourth & Gemini are cute, tho.

Hit Bite Love (Sat YouTube) ep 4-5 of 6 - I do like King & Burger. The idea of giving your perspective boyfriend your CV is ADORBS. Auditioning for the part, as it were. I would like it known that my sexual identity is chili (AKA spicy) henceforth. (My pronouns are MaxTul & sometimes Phi.) Look, this is an absurd show. Last ep it was BDSM 101, this ep we got a lesson on how to use a condom properly? AND why the closet is both necessary and damaging? I mean I applaud their educational endeavors but BL: The After School Special? Did I sign up for Degrassi Junior BL while I wasn’t looking?

Boyband (Thurs YT) 1 of 10 - BL drama about putting an idol boyband together. AKA how to make ABL suffer by combing favorite (celebrity romances, Kpop) and least favorite (bad singing) tropes. AND? I REALLY like it. It’s fun! What singing there is, is looped not live. So we in Cutie Pie territory. It’s easy to skip. The pairing is rich/poor and I like an other side of the tracks romance.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 8 of 10 (or 15&16 of 20) - Covid strikes. Boyfriends are worried. Omg they are so cute and hot and awkward. Tension in the office politics too. It’ll be okay, babies.

Jack o’Frost (Japan) ep 1 of 6 - After getting dumped, Ritsu has an accident and gets amnesia. Ikuya, his ex, struggles to help him regain his memories while wondering about the state of their relationship. But Ritsu falls in love with Ikuya all over again. Engaging opening but I’m just not sure about the premise.

It’s Airing But ...

Chains of Heart (Sat Gaga) 1 of 10 - Not dropping for me until tomorrow so it’ll be in next week’s round up I hope. Suspense thriller about a forest ranger, smugglers, amnesia, and lost love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Marc (My Gear & Your Gown in YYY). Adapted from a Y-novel of the same name by TJ Tommy.

My Beautiful Man 2 (Viki & Gaga) - Because there are only 4 eps, I decided to wait and binge this one.

Cafe In Love (Thai) 10 eps on Ch3+ - Thai pulp, stars the actor who played Noh’s best friend Ohm in Love Sick 2. When his coffee shop closes, a man tries everything to save it and falls in love along the way. I had a hunt but can’t find it.

Moments Of Love (Thai) Feb 14 Foremorfilm Production movie for cinema release. Was originally a series with Golf (609 Bedtime Story & The Eclipse) to direct, and SmartJames (LeonPhob from Don't Say No) to star. BUT is now something totally different. We’re all confused.

Destiny Seeker (Tues WeTV ) 10 eps - it’s not on any WeTV I can get ahold of. Engineering student Songkram is head of dorm 3, for "strong & athletic" students. Aye is head of dorm 2, for the "good looking" students. Aye used to be Songkram's tutor and friend, but they fell apart after becoming dorm heads. Aye is actually in love with Songkram but thinks Sonkram likes someone else. Songkram actually likes Aye. So, Bad Buddy the pulp rebirth meets that weird Japanese “girls-crossdressing-as-boys for love and infiltrating secret society of hotness” tradition.

Our Winter (Thai & Korea ?) - TutorYim vehicle supposedly airing now. Search me.

The End Of The World, With You AKA Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu (Japan Sun Gaga) - DNFing this one. It’s way too high heat for them to end it happily and full of dark stuff like cheating, suicide, depression, abuse. I actively HATE one of the main characters and mildly dislike the other. Easier to just stop watching.

Next Week Looks Like This:

2023 forthcoming BL master post. (see comments some are inaccurate, NOT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

My favorite thing to happen in BL this week. Possibly EVER.

Honestly, such a weird little After School Special. (All Hit Bite Love.)

SAIL MY LITTLE CRUMBS! SAIL!!!!

You TELL her, Paw. (All My School President)

We stan the out boy. Own it, babycakes. (Moonlight Chicken.)

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Beautiful by BEAST, look, sometimes we gotta go back to our roots. Check out the legends for what they were, criticize my taste later. Fuck I miss those times when everyone had to sing live and the one with the hot mic had to stop dancing to catch his breath because, ya know, he still had to sing.

ALL that said, you slackers should check out HELLO GLOOM - Dancing In The Dark. I alway said IMFACT was the most woke Kpop group, now they broken up(?) nice to see ‘em solo in queer fuck-off style.

Might Regret this and delete it later but answering a question about my most traumatic experience made me want to list all the fucked up and just...weird as fuck things that have happened to me. Like I can't sleep til I do this. Maybe it'll be cathartic I dunno:

Tw: Sexual assault, all other assault?

-Age 3 force fed Tabasco

-Age 2 Thrown in pool by Stepdad

-Age 4-6 locked in room when parents screaming at one another

-Age 6 or 7 Witnessed mom throw a hairdryer at stepdad because he verbally abused her.

-Age 5 Fell off a table from dancing and broke my leg, my dad didn't tell my mom.

-Age 2-7 Forced to stay at the table (sometimes falling asleep) cause I couldn't finish my food.

-Age 7 Forced to eat chicken and dumplings and immediately threw it up (still can't eat It today)

-Age 7 Got laughed at by my whole elementary school class because we had to say our times tables in front of the class and I couldn't get past 5's. Sobbed in front of them all.

-Age 8 Moved across the country to a whole new state.

-Age 8 lived with a family friend for a year who had five other kids (add on myself and my three siblings) so there was not quiet ever for that whole year.

-Age 9 Cried in front of *that* class about math and being the new kid.

-Age 9 Got pressured by neighborhood kids into stealing from 7/11.

-Age 10 Got made fun of for having certain friends

-Age 11 Got made fun of in fifth grade for still playing pretend.

-Age 11, Almost lost friends cause I tried to convince them I was a real witch (damn you halloweentown and your influence).

-Age 12-14 Pervy PE teacher that made the girls all do squats and the boys do jumping jacks. Never the other way around.

-Age 13 A middle school science teacher is Arrested for child pornography.

-Age 13 Had a boy tell me that kissing me made him realize he was gay.

-Age 13: Become my science teachers' TA (different teacher than the one above). Mostly spend the time watching cash cab and Bill Nye in his room.

-Age 13 I received my first tiny acer laptop and start playing Webkinz online, club penguin, and Wizard 101. (Also looking for dates on there but I don't tell people that).

-Age 14 Got my first flip phone, add my friends' contacts for text. We don't have Internet yet.

-Age 14 Start playing around on Omegle. Where kids SHOULD NOT BE.

-Age 14 Met one of my best friends on Wizard 101 and cheated my bedtime and played more when I really should have been sleeping.

-Age 14 Read Twilight, got obsessed. Started my first babysitting gigs. Overpriced myself but they paid it so.

-Age 14 Best friend in person at the time was a really bad influence and decided to pretend she was possessed and drown me in a pool. I begged her to stop and she pretended that the demon in her left.

Okay it's about to escalate:

-Age 15 Tried out for my first play, it was hairspray. I wanted to be one of the leads. I could sing but I couldn't dance. I ended up a techy.

-Age 15 Had my first girl/girl relationship And I kiss her on Halloween and I like it and she says she likes it too. But then she has to break up with me cause she's Mormon and doesn't want to leave her church.

- Age 15 Gets into an online relationship with two British guys from Omegle who are definitely adults. Sent them underage nudes cause I didn't know better.

-Age 16 Said British guys decided to blackmail me with my nudes and threatened to post them online if I stopped meeting with them over cam. (I was regularly doing shit over cam with them. It was gross). Told my mom, she had no idea what to do. She just took away my phone and laptop for a while which??? Didn't do anything to help???

-Age 16 Started going out with my first in person boyfriend after we sang owl City at the same time and fell on top of one another on the theater stairs. LMAO it was so cringy.

-Age 16 Six months later I broke up with him over text by trying to scare him away by telling him I thought I was a fallen angel so he'd think I was crazy. (He was ignoring me a lot so I was done) Then I gaslit his friends and said he broke up with me. (I don't act like this anymore, teen me was WILD).

-Age 16 Pretended I was in a romance bdsm novel and handcuffed myself to my own dresser and had to make an excuse for my parents not to come in, so they wouldn't see me.

-Age 17 Met my current partner of 10 years over Tumblr, we started talking over messenger then skyping every day.

-Age 17 Parents kept fighting and stressing out younger siblings so I had to take them all to the park to get them out of the house.

-Age 17 Mom kept telling me that my partner over Skype was a 56 yr old man. (He looked 19 to me).

-Age 17 I finally got my own room.

-Age 17 I ended up trapped in my walk in closet while naked because there was a brown recluse in a power stance. I stayed in the closet for an hour until it moved.

-Age 18 We had to move to a house where we didn't have enough rooms for everyone so I was put into a makeshift room in the dining room where I had no privacy.

-Age 18 My partner visited for the first time.

That's where I'll stop. Holy hell. It feels good to go through it all. I'm sure there's more. But this is just some of the weird things that have happened over my childhood and teenhood lol. Not to mention everything that's happened in my adulthood. That'd be a whole novel. Maybe this is why I follow Loki because I've been through so much chaos 🤔

2023 wrapped: webtoon edition!

my final 2023 wrapped post for the year! unlike previous ones, this list is every series i read this year vs. ones that started this year. previous lists for this year:

cdrama edition

kdrama edition

ranked from least favorite to most favorite, which doesn't mean objectively best, just ones that hit me more. ones that are completed series will have a * after the title

15 my deepest secret*. omfg i hated this webtoon. the twist was asinine and frankly ignorant. none of the characters were likeable by the end. hate quit this one with like 5 chapters left to go i just couldnt

14 my second husband. seemed promising at first! i was hooked for the first 40 chapters or so but then it just started getting weirdly paced, had big plot holes, and nothing ever felt like it was getting resolved. the ML had like 0 charisma as well. dropped.

13 to love your enemy. this one was REALLY fun until the cult arc hit and then it was the biggest wtf is happening. dropped it shortly after

12 i dont hate us*. i liked this one until the timeskip ending, where then everyone and everything just felt really off. the second female lead gets a special mention because i HATED her at first but by the end she was my favorite character <3

11 romance 101.* this was okay. the art style was really cute and i loved the FL. but there never seemed to be any chemistry with the main ship to me, and the plot became really focused on the app/programming club which bored the hell out of me. dropped this one around chap 100

10 shadow bride. nothing bad but nothing particularly noteworthy for me. fluff read.

9 high spirits neoma. im not very far into this webtoon yet, or it'd be higher up the list im sure. im around ch 5 and finding it really charming and i love the color palette for it

8 dreaming freedom/freedom in dreams. although the art style isnt my cup of tea, i really enjoyed this fucked up high school revenge/romance webtoon but where im currently at (ch. 111ish) it's starting to feel a little circular. hoping it goes back to what it does best which is Unsettling Shit

7 my reason to die*. man this would've been in my top 3 but the ending arc is just. really boring??? like i dont want to watch them search for a pot farm for 10 chapters. i havent finished this one yet, but ive been putsing getting back into it ever since post reveal. the drama is very pretty though and the reveal chapters hit me like a truck in a good way

6 operation true love. i borderline hated this webtoon when i first started, but the reviews had me wanting to stick it out and im so glad i did!! around ep 10ish it really finds its footing and just keeps going for it! very kdrama in flavor and endearing FL.

5 unholy blood*. a fun, dark, and nostalgic webtoon about vampires and vampire hunting that brought me back to my tween years in the best way. the character designs are really awesome. it's a little lower on the list because the ending felt a bit rushed, but it's a really solid horror/action comic with a lil romance

4 surviving romance*. this one's complete but i got about 10 chapters left. it's a really fun horror comic (NOT romance, dont be fooled by the title) that reminds me of extraordinary you but if the plot was focused on the metaphysical horror of it a little more. fun characters and relationships. a little lower just because the second "return" arc feels tedious/unneeded so far. we'll see. TEAM RINA.

3 maybe meant to be/fate found by chance. ive found that i tend to gravitate toward darker webtoons, so this is my c-c-combo breaker! cute, funny, quirky, and really endearing. standard contract marriage plot but between two delightful weirdos

2 purple hyacinth. this series is everything. the art is gorgeous, it has its own OST built into the reading. the characters are nuanced and complicated and omg it's a ride and a half so far.

1 olgami/trapped*. INCREDIBLE characters and such an intense look at enemies-to-lovers. the drama starts as a psycho-thriller about gravedigging for a vampire and ends up about two leads who have never learned how to love willing to try it with one another in their fucked-up way. dysfunctional. hot. SO GOOD. the art evolution for this series was great as well

#webtoon #manhwa #olgami #purple hyacinth #maybe meant to be #gizka 2023 wrapped

At First Glance...Part X

Chapter 9 <<<||| Chapter 10 ||| >>> Chapter 11

... At Poetic Sensibility

…

Poetic sensibility is the ability to deeply engage with poetry and experience its meaning and emotional impact beyond the words. It can involve making connections between the mind and senses, and can allow a writer to choose the right word to create a particular tone. – Google AI when you search up “poetic sensibility meaning”

…

“…so if you recall from Prof. Knorozov’s lecture last week, the symbols represent syllables. And these syllables are arranged in glyph blocks to sound out each word. The way you’re supposed to read these Mayan runes is different than how we read our English letters. As a general rule, within each glyph block, the symbols are read from top to bottom and from left to right. But sometimes, certain words have their own glyphs like this one.” Sebastian explained to MC as he pointed out to rectangle glyph with waves inside.

It was breakfast and one of the few times he actually got up early to meet up with MC at the Slytherin dining table.

Before The Pensive Reminiscence as he started calling it, Sebastian would stay up late till the wee hours of the night reading book on possible cures and treatments until the letters would start to blur. Or until he passed out. He would wake up the next day with the book tenting over his face.

After The Pensive Reminiscence, Sebastian found himself going to bed on time, flying for fun (to the point he was hiding from Imelda who wanted to challenge him to a racing challenge or organize a pick-up game of Quidditch with him involved), lounging at the clock tower to see the others duel after his own match in Crossed Wands and just plain reading for fun.

Now that he wasn’t borrowing books that weren’t about curse breaking or curses, Sebastian would just pick whatever book struck his fancy and borrowed it to expand his knowledge – just for the sake of learning. Currently he had four books on his nightstand:

Apotropaic: How the Ancient Greek Warded

Unexpected Useful Runes from Around the World

Divine Magic: Myths of Magic Bygone

101 Muggle Scottish Poems to Know

He would rotate between the four books, often sticking to 101 Muggle Scottish Poems to Know and Divine Magic: Myths of Magic Bygone. While the former was a comfort novel, one of the few ways he could feel close to his late parents, the latter was the only book that he was able to gather information about Ancient Magic.

Not that there was much information to gather from it.

Heck, he was certain he could write his own book about MC’s magical abilities with Ancient Magic. He seen enough of what she could do with her special powers. His own book would be leagues better than this one with the information he can pass on to future users if he wrote one.

Not that he ever would.

Even he knew the dangers of having her abilities being spilled to the world.

And he wasn’t going to put his closest friend into danger like that.

MC was in enough danger with Rookwood and Ranrok interested in her. He didn’t forget how the two of them eavesdrops on them. He refused to think of what future ill-thought plans could befall on MC if her special ability came out.

She deserved to live a normal life.

Just like how he was slowly returning back to his.

All thanks to MC.

Life felt normal once more…only it was better.

“So, as you can see, this glyph over here represents the word fire and hot. If you crave this glyph into a stone, when it’s activated by magic, it essentially becomes a magical fire stove without flames. Makes sense?” He asked as he glanced back towards MC.

She was glaring at his notes, running her finger over the glyph he drew up in his notebook. While he was used to her silence as she would mentally take in data, the glare towards his notes was a new development.

“Is something wrong MC?” He frowned.

It has been two weeks since they had reunited once more and continued keeping the flame of their friendship.

Together.

While it was close to cooling coals at its worst during the Friendship Hiatus with neither of them feeding the flames, since that last quest to Isidora’s castle (as he started calling it), the fire has been renewed once more. Together, they worked to keep it feed by tossing in fuel to their metaphorical hearth with raids to the kitchen, trips to Hogsmeade, lounging around to talk and play games in the Undercroft, Common Room, Great Hall – essentially any little corner they could claim as theirs for that small portion of time.

“Nothing…just had a rough night.” She yawned.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes.

From the shadows underneath her eyes to her glare as she tried to focus on his notes…It seems as if they traded schedules with her being the sleep deprived friend this time.

“What happened?” He asked, thinking, Did you not need my help?

“Amit and Andrew – YAWNnnn – and I went looking for Astrology tables. It was the first time we had a clear night this week. But we couldn’t find what we were looking for and had to call it a night.” MC frowned as she rubbed her eyes.

“Oh…I’m sorry that didn’t work out for you.” He frowned. “Why did you wake up early than to review with me then? I would understand if you wanted to meet up later. I know what it’s like to pull nearly all-nighters.”

“Because it might be the only time we’ll meet up to review before Ancient Runes class.” MC said as she yawned once more. “And I like reviewing with you.” She said with a soft smile.

“That makes two of us.” Sebastian couldn’t help but smile, even if it felt like there were pixies running amuck in his belly as he met her cheerful tired eyes.

It was as if time itself froze and something had shifted that wasn’t there before.

Before Sebastian even had time to make a comment about how nice her hair looked or how she smelt differently from her usual mellowsweet with the citrus orange perfume that he always associated with her, a letter smacked her in the face and fell into her breakfast.

The owl post was here.

MC groaned as she plucked the letter out of her porridge and flipped it around to see who it came from.

Then it was as if she was dosed with ice water as she jumped up with a frown.

“Shit.” She cursed.

“Is something wrong?” He frowned as she pocketed the letter. She looked at him with sad hesitant eyes, erasing whatever cheer they once held for him.

“I have some business to attend with Fig.” She said as she started putting her stuff away.

“Oh.” He said as he held her satchel. “Do you want me to walk you there?” He said at the last second, wanting to extend their time together. Even if they nearly spent an hour reviewing early in the morning for the Ancient Runes class, it never seemed as if they spent enough time together.

“Don’t worry about it. Review without me. I’ll catch up with you later!” She grinned at him before giving him a peak on the cheek, stupefying him without even casing a spell as she walked away.

Sebastian stood there for who knows how long with his hand on his kissed cheeked until Ominis came and ordered him to sit down and stop mindlessly standing like a mannequin.

Sebastian did as told, mind elsewhere, drifting to whatever MC could be doing without him.

…

Ancient Runes went as it normally did. The two sat together in the morning with little to say as a quiz was placed in front of them. While the quiz was easy enough, they barely had time to talk or exchange notes as Prof. Knorozov charged into his lecture like a rampaging graphorn. There was only so many notes he could take as he did his best to draw down all the new runes they needed to study.

But it was fine.

MC would cover for him.

She would write down the information needed as he provided the detailed rune drawings. It was why they were both at the top of their class again. It wasn’t as if he missed his chance to talk with her as they split ways for their next class.

They still had dinner together.

But when dinner came, he found himself with only Ominis for company.

MC wasn’t sitting with them.

Instead, she sat between Thakker and Larson as if they were long-time buddies. They laughed as she pointed at something on the table, going over a map she pulled out earlier. Their meals were finished, dirty plates pushed to the side that would be vanished once they left their seat. While he couldn’t see their facial reaction as their backs faced him, Sebastian knew that stance she held.

MC was going to go on another adventure.

The three of them got up and left the Great Hall, shoulders back and chins held high as their dirty dishes vanished.

She never even bothered to look back and wave goodbye to him before leaving like she did before the Friendship Hiatus.

While Sebastian knew that she picked up that habit because of the Friendship Hiatus. He never thought that it would remain.

Or that he would feel that same hurt from before.

…

Sebastian couldn’t sleep that night.

He tossed and turned, switched to laying his head on the foot side before deciding there was no point in staying up. When he checked the time, it was only one in the morning. A late night on his new post-The Pensive Reminiscence schedule. An early bedtime on his ante-The Pensive Reminiscence schedule.

With nothing working and a slight fear of waking up Ominis, Sebastian sighed and picked up a book at random on his nightstand and walked out, wearing his nightrobe over his pajamas to keep the chill away. While he wasn’t surprised to see a few students still up at this hour, reviewing notes, going over homework or even playing chess, some were surprised to see him again as he took his usual spot on the couch by the fireplace and sat down to read the book he picked up at random.

101 Muggle Scottish Poems to Know

“Nothing a little light reading can’t cure.” He mumbled to himself as he flipped to the index and searched for his favorite poems – “Address to a Haggis” – he thought it was hilarious as a child. “My Heart’s in the Highlands” – he always had pride as a Scotsman and would tell any city kid who would listen when they went to Glasglow, Edinburgh or even London the rural beauty that surround his small village of Aranshire.

“Tam O’Shanter” was by far his favorite due to the particular way his father would change his tone as he read the tale-like poem to him and Anne during bedtime. A second look at the poem, he found himself rather annoyed with the main character in the harm he caused his loyal mare by causing her to lose her tail.

Sebastian sighed and looked through to see what other poems the book had on Robert Burns.

While Sebastian wasn’t as in tune with muggle culture, he couldn’t deny that their writings were rather delightful. He could see why his father had favored Robert Burns as a poet; so much that the muggle man became his namesake for his second name in Scottish form: Raibeart. Anne herself was also named after their mother’s favorite Scottish poet, Anne Grant. His parents were avid readers – whether it be reading studies for their field, poetry and even plays! His own first name –Sebastian– and Anne’s second name –Viola– came from his parent’s favorite play Twelfth Night. They were both named after the twins in the muggle play. While he didn’t understand it as a child why his parents wanted to built his interest in writing –especially poetry– he could see what charm some of his least poems as a child held.

While “A Red, Red Rose” still felt too lovey-dovey for his taste, taking a second look at “O, Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast”, Sebastian found that he actually rather liked the poem now as a young man. While he and Anne would stick their tongue out at how love-struck their father would act when he would sing the poem to their mother, Sebastian found a rather simple joy in reading it now that he understood the meaning behind its words–

“What are you reading?” An unexpected voice said above him.

If anyone dared asked (with his wand pointed at them to help encourage a different question), Sebastian would say that the shout was simply from the joy hearing his friend again and NOT from the blind fright she gave him that had him tossing the book into the air and jumping up, leading him to strike MC’s face.

To top the eventful fright off, his book ended up striking the top her head.

“I guess that serves me right for not announcing myself.” MC laughed before wincing as she rubbed her right eye.

“MC! I’m sorry!” Sebastian said as he got up from the floor and dashed up to her. “Let me take a look at that! I didn’t mean hit you!” He frowned as he gently pulled her hand away from her covering her right eye.

He hissed. Sebastian could already tell the bruising would lead to a black eye from experience.

“Shite. MC I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He frowned as he bit his bottom lip, Okay, so what are some spell I could use to minimize the swelling? I know Glacius at a smaller scale is often used to prevent the swelling…there are also some ointments I can try to numb the pain as well–

“Don’t worry about it Sebastian. Imelda has some cream she uses for bruises. You’ll be surprised how often you can get them during pick-up quidditch.” MC laughed. “She’s more than happy to share them with me considering I’m one of the few that actually plays with her.”

“Oh.” He frowned as MC turned around and picked up a book, mumbling,

“So that’s what struck me.” Then she turned to him. “I never took you for a poet type of guy. Are you planning to woo someone with some pretty words?” She smirked.

“No. I uh…I couldn’t sleep, and I figured reading some poetry will tire me out.” He rubbed the back of his neck.

“Looks like it failed. It’s three in the morning.” MC giggled as she looked through the page the book fell on.

“It is?” Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he took a glance around the Common Room. The only souls up at this time were just him and MC. “Oh…” He said as he looked at MC and frowned.

While he was in his pajamas with only his nightrobe for warmth, MC was still wearing the same clothes she had at supper. In fact, they looked worse with her school robe littered with dirt, leaves and cuts. Her face wasn’t any better either now that he took a second look at it. She wore grime like makeup blush and chalk-like dust on her hair as if it was powder. The forbidden forest was her perfume instead of the orange citrus he had grown accustomed to.

Sebastian opened his mouth to speak, but before he could even question where she had been, MC was faster to ask:

“What does this poem even mean Sebastian?”

“What?” he blinked.

“This poem – here take a look. I saw you reading it earlier but it’s written in a Scottish Brogue that I can’t quite understand. See?” MC said as she showed him the poem he was just reading.

“Oh. That’s “O, Wert Thou In the Cauld Blast”. It’s a Robert Burns poem. A classic to Scotland.” Sebastian stated, like a teacher answering a student’s question.

“Can you read it to me in Standard English? There are still some Scottish words that unfortunately I don’t understand. As you can see, I’m still actually rather unfamiliar to the Scottish dialect.” MC chuckled as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“I’m surprised. You been running around the Highlands hamlets for ages now. How did you even communicate with them without me on your quests?” He chuckled, trying to not let his bitterness sweep into his tone.

“It helps when you speak with a foreign accent. Suddenly, everyone’s wants to befriend you instead of giving you the stink eye when you use the Queen’s English.” MC chuckled. “Not that I can blame them. They are rather upset at the Ministry down in London for failing to do their duty up here.” MC said as she sat down at the couch and patted the seat next to her.

“It really shouldn’t be up to fifteen-year-olds like us to take care of the Ashwinders problem. Or the Loyalist.” He said as she sat next to her.

“Or Poachers. At least we didn’t have any issue with them tonight.” MC sighed as she leaned against him, staring down at the book. Sebastian placed his arm around her, giving her a side hug as she partly nested against his chest.

“Did something happen tonight? You know you can always ask me to come join you in your Astronomy Table hunts…even if it’s at a late hour.” He frowned, thinking, I rather you have my wand as back-up instead of Thakker and Larson.

“Thanks for the offer, but I think you would find Astronomy Tables rather boring. I’ve notice how you always do your homework for that class last.” MC giggled as she looked up to him with that bright smile that wasn’t there earlier.

“Not my fault that I find starting at constellations rather boring. When will I ever use that information in the future?” Sebastian grinned at her as felt that warmth in his chest once more when she smiled back.

“I found it’s a rather useful map to navigate by. As long as I know where Polaris is, I can always find my way back home.” MC grinned. “Now no more stalling, what does that poem mean in the Queen’s English? I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the Scottish dialect can be written down like that; I’m all too used to seeing “proper” English writing.” MC chuckled.

“How ‘bout I read it to you. In Queen’s English for my London girl?” Sebastian smirked as he felt that pixie-like feeling in his abdomen.

“I’m not actually from London you know?” MC lifted an eyebrow with a smirk.

“Could’ve fooled me.” Sebastian laughed as he read her the poem in his best posh voice that would’ve made Solomon proud. Not that his uncle ever cared about him.

Except for whatever he did wrong.

“The poem, in Standard English, is called “O, Were You In the Cold Blast”. It’s written by my da’s favorite poet. Rabbie Burns.” Sebastian said with a proud smile on his lips as he read:

“O, were you in the cold blast

On yonder meadow, on yonder meadow,

My plaid to the angry direction,

I would shelter you, I would shelter you,

Or did Misfortune’s bitter storms

Around you blow, around you blow,

Your shelter should be my bosom,

To share it all, to share it all.”

He said as his voice took on a cantor tone and he found himself singing the next stanza.

“Or were I in the wildest waste,

So black and bare, so black and bare,

The desert were a Paradise,

If you were there, if you were there.

Or were I monarch of the globe,

With you to reign, with you to reign,

The brightest jewel in my crown

Would be my queen, world be my queen.”

“You have a nice voice Sebastian.” MC yawned. “Ever thought about being a singer? They could use you in the West End theaters in London” She said as she smiled at him with those happy bright tired eyes.

“I’ll sing to you if that’s what you like.” He hummed with a smile.

“Can you sing it to me the way it’s written? I rather like listening you sing.” She said as she laid against his chest once more. “You have a rather nice accent.”

“As you wish.” He said with a smile.

So, he sang the original words in the Scottish Brogue he was taught to loathe. And when he looked down to see what MC thought, he found her sleeping soundly against his chest. Without giving it a second thought, he pulled them back, to lay against the couch, with her closer to the inside and him on the edge. Letting her use his shoulder as a pillow as he laid down his head against the armrest, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head before any thought could stop him.

He sighed smiling, as he hummed in a whisper,

“O, wur ye in th’ cauld blast

On younder lea, on younder lea,

Mah plaid tae th’ angry airt,

I’d shelter thee, I’d shelter thee,

Or did Misfortune’s bitter storms

Around thee blaw, around thee blaw,

Thy bield shuid be mah bosom,

To share it a’, to share it a’.”

Soon he fell asleep soon enough, holding her snuggly like a niffler with its treasured gold.

…

They woke up a little bit before dawn, before their peers would walk down the stairs and the sun’s rays could beam through the lake to greet the Slytherin Common Room.

MC was the first to awaken.

Sebastian knew that as much as he knew his favorite sweet was Bertie Bort’s and his favorite physical activity was dueling as much as he knew who those hands belong to as they slapped his face and the voice mumbling to him as if he was underwater.

Which was odd since they were somehow in the clock tower as well, with her in his arms as they laid down on the couch that was bought up here ages ago. There was no one else here besides them as they waited for their next opponents to come.

Everybody left.

Even Ominis.

They needed to rest up before the next fight. So, they laid down on the couch and took a break. He didn’t even realize he had closed his eyes after hugging her.

Or was it a warm pillow that he found?

“Wake up Sebastian.” She mumbled.

“Five mair minutes…” He mumbled back, snuggling his head against his pillow as he hugged the other in his arm against his torso.

The latter was surprisingly warm.

“Sebastian, let me go! Please!” MC hissed at him as he felt her slap his cheeks once more.

“Ya can’t lea. They’ll be ‘ere soon enough.”

“I need to pee!”

“Fine…juist come back whin ye’r dane. We still hae one mair dueling double tae play.” He mumbled into the pillow. “Can’t let Weasley ‘n’ Prewett tak’ th’ championship spot.”

“Of course not.” MC snorted before softly saying, “Just let me go and I’ll be right back.” She whispered.

“Promise?” He mumbled. He didn’t want to lose her again.

“I promise. Now let go of me you hugger.” She grumbled.

“Bit ah lik’ hugs.” He said as he hugged her even tighter.

“And I like to use the loo.”

“Fine.” He mumbled back. “Juist return afore Prewett claims wur forfeiting th’ match.” He grumbled as he loosened his grip and felt his lovely warm pillow roll over him.

“Don’t worry I will.” She mumbled back, as if she was far away.

“MC?” He said as he grabbed hold of her hand before she removed it from his chest.

“Sigh…yes Sebastian?”

“Kin we go oan another quest? Fur fin?” He mumbled as he weakly opened his eyes to greet hers. “Ah miss daein’ that wi’ ye.” He smiled.

“Really?” She said. Why did she sound so pleasantly surprised?

“Aye. Can’nae let everybody else hae all th’ fin. Ah din’nae lik’ it whin ye lea me behind.” He mumbled, closing his eyes as he felt a warmth on the back of his hand that felt softer than his skin.

“Me neither.” She smiled as she gave him head scritches.

“Guid.” He nodded his head before he narrowed his eyes and looked at her once more in his dazed sleep. “Ye know a loue ye?”

Her hand froze. Then it started moving once more.

“I didn’t know.” She mumbled.

“Ah dae. Ah din’nae wantae lose ye.” He mumbled as he closed his eyes, feeling sleep drag him back into the void. They still had time for a nap before their next match.

“You won’t. I promise I’ll be back. And I’ll get you a blanket and pillow as well.”

“Thank ye. Ye’r th’ best loue.” He said back. “Mak’ sure that ye nap tae. Sleeping is guid fur dueling.” He mumbled as he accepted void as his home and was fast asleep once more.

…

The next time he woke up, Sebastian found his head on a pillow with a warm blanket warped over him.

Shoot. I didn’t mean to accidently fall asleep like that. Sebastian frowned as he sat up. He was still in his pajamas and nightrobe. The book that he was reading last night, 101 Muggle Scottish Poems to Know, was placed on the coffee table with a note written on top of it next to the muffin that definitely wasn’t there last night.

I didn’t want to wake you. Thank you for your kind words last night. I really needed it. See you at lunch!

-MC.

P.S. Enjoy the muffin! Stop skipping breakfast to sleep in!

“I feel like I forgot something.” Sebastian frowned. He knew something happened, but for the life of him, he just couldn’t remember it. He shrugged. “Oh well.” He said as he got up and started preparing for the day before he was late for class.

Again.

Day 3:

The instruction never said the dynamic has to be between 2 people, so my favorite “forgotten” dynamic is … Andy-Fuuko-Chikara.

One big reason why Chikara is in the same league as Fuuko, Andy, Shen and Juiz in my tier list despite obviously having less screentime is this dynamic between him and the main duo in loop 100.

Chikara serves as both the last newbie recruited into Union 100, and the closest one to your average Joe experiencing the Rules changing and the supernatural Negator world, since even Fuuko early on had a somewhat warped mentality (being more unhinged) due to 10 years of isolation. With his deceased family wanting him to live on and use the “accursed” power he gained for good deeds, Chikara later become part of a found family of sort in the Union.

Since Andy and Fuuko were also relatively new to the Union (and also due to them being directly involved with Chikara), they are quick to warm up to him and honestly their interactions in episode 15 makes them a very good trio for the fleeting amount of time they spend together. (Before Tozuka booted Chikara off to pair up with Top)

It is explored more in the novel, but the Undead Unluck duo act as a bridge between the more workaholic members like Nico and the newly joined one from a more peaceful place like Chikara. The training Fuuko requested and especially the few holidays the Union enjoy prior to the 100th quest set help set up this balance between giving Union members a sense of the relatively normal life Chikara had pre-tragedy (something that is delved even further into during loop 101) and Chikara accustomed to the harsh fighting environment in later arcs.

Chikara ended up seeing Andy and Fuuko as seniors during working and training hours, then as older siblings in the big Union family during the rest of the day. Even his nickname “Perverted Onion” is revealed later to have more meanings to it and eventually deepens his bonds with other Roundtable people.

It’s a real shame we most likely won’t ever see this dynamic again in loop 101 considering Fuuko and Andy became a pair of immortal and slightly intimidating leads of the new Union. The best chance I’d reckon the dynamic re-appearing would be when Chikara uses Remember and witnessed his likely one in a thousand lifetime relationship with Andy and Fuuko - his guides and first friends going into the new Negator world.

One (semi?)headcanon of mine is that Chikara being seat 11, would probably get fed up with Andy and Fuuko’s antics, and slowly realizing how he looks like a third wheel during the Roundtable meetings.

Another update to my very slow-burn #Lukola fanfiction, inspired by these two and their banter...

(Excerpt taken from Chapter 11 of 'Curtain Fall')

27th July 2022 – London (UK)

“Oh. My. God. What have I walked into here?”

Nicola stood still, mouth agape.

Luke rolled his eyes at her reaction.

They were in the living room of the apartment he shared with his girlfriend. Dark blue curtains framed a big bay window that bought daylight into the room. A dark green sofa and armchair faced the window and a flatscreen TV. Further back in the room, there was a modest-sized dining table with two chairs. All in all, it was a small space that felt lived in and cosy.

Nicola was still stood at the entryway, her eyes fixated on what had been artfully arranged across the well-worn sofa. There was what seemed to be at least six different soft toys of varying shapes and sizes; there was a large Dalmatian dog, a brown-coated teddy bear and a few Squishmallows. They were positioned around what seemed to be the centerpiece which was a large bouquet of red roses already placed into a deep blue vase and a few separately framed photos of Jade dressed in various costuming from theatre productions she had been involved in. One of the photos was from the opening night of 101 Dalmatians which Nicola had attended only a few weeks prior. Accompanying the flowers and photos was an impressively sized box of Lindt chocolates and a gift bag that had a Champneys Spa logo on the front.

“Alright, get it out of your system.” He said with some amusement in his voice.

“It’s giving shrine.” Nicola stated.

Luke laughed good-naturedly. He moved towards the table where there was an already-lit Jo Malone candle, an orange ceramic teapot, two small teacups and a lot of paperwork strewn about.

“I was hoping it was giving your boyfriend loves you very much, well done on all your hard work, I’m really proud of you – oh and sorry I’m going to be working so much for the next couple of months.” He started to pour what looked like green tea into each of the cups.

“Well, I guess a harem of plushies is easier than fitting all that on a card.” Nicola quipped, following him towards the table.

He laughed again. “Alright, I get taking the piss but do you have to cheapen it by calling it a shrine and a harem?”

“Deal, as long as I can keep taking the piss because this is just... I mean, I’m going to need some time to absorb you in your natural element.” Nicola gestured around the room.

“My natural element? Do I want to hear this?”

“The little pot of tea, the candles, the definitely-not-standing-in-attendance-for-a-ritual-sacrifice-cuddly-toys – it’s all very cute. Jade is a lucky woman.” She did mean the words she was speaking. It was all very sweet. It was just even easier to mock. He could tell she was trying to keep her face straight.

“I’m never inviting you here again.” He stated matter-of-factly, taking a sip of his tea. “I pity the man who buys you flowers.”

It was a lighthearted remark but something about it stung.

Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Ezra remained hot and cold in his messages with her. There were days where he would text and call prolifically, bestowing every ounce of attention on her. Then came the days she had dubbed the drought. She was aware she felt neglected, and her feelings were getting hurt. She responded to these emotions with frustration at herself for placing too much expectation on the situation and on him. Why can’t I just be cool? She thought.

She forced a small laugh in response to Luke’s remark as she shook off her jacket and sat down opposite him. They were sat around a table so small their knees were practically touching.

She suddenly felt conscious of her outfit choice. She was dressed in jeans and a black low-cut top that flattered her body. She had not put too much thought into her clothes; favouring something comfortable and somewhat stylish was her go-to protocol for getting dressed. Now in such close proximity to him, something about how ample her cleavage was in that top felt inappropriate. In fact, she felt as if she had seen his eyes travel across her body as she had seated herself, but when she looked at him directly, he was studiously rifling through the pages in front of him. She had to remind herself that her mind often played tricks on her when she felt self-conscious; it made her feel as if the entire room was eyeing her up, judging her and her body. She tried to shift her mind from focusing on how intimate the setting felt and onto the work they were there to do.

“I’ve got Lizzy’s questions for consideration, and then I put down some of my own thoughts. We could go through it?” He asked, his mind seemingly a million miles away from hers.

“I did the same.” She dug out a small notebook and pen from her jacket pocket. “So, the question is - how can I help you get through the scenes?”

He eyed the page before him. “Right. Well, firstly, I’m scared you’re just going to laugh in my face when we film – God knows where I got that complex from.” He shot her a look, and she smirked back.

“Then, it’s the obvious one. I just want to not feel weird when I’m naked, man.” He shrugged.

“Yeah, reasonable request and I’ll co-sign that one.” She agreed.

“I think we were getting somewhere in the New Forest with the first one though.” He continued. “I’ve not been method before but something about being in Colin’s head like that was good, and I think you were warming up to him too.”

She considered this. “You’re right. And we have a proper script now, we can get comfortable with saying the words to each other and then layer in the emotions – rehearse the romance into the scenes. I think that practice will help me stay in scene.”

“Another obvious one – touching each other.” He was reading off the paper in front of him. “In a few episodes we go from a pretty chaste kiss to – well carriage scene.”

“Oooh yeah, Pen and Colin get pretty comfortable pretty quick.” She laughed. “So we have just the teeny tiny task of acting out passion that goes zero to one hundred. Not easy.”

“I think the more we act scared of it and build it up, the worse it’s going to be” He spoke in tone that suggested he was trying to convince himself as much as her. “It’s acting, it’s a touch that means nothing to us and we should just get comfortable with that.”

“Fully down with that.”

“Have you ever done the intimacy hierarchy?”

Nicola wracked her mind. “I don’t think so.”

“It’s a warm-up for intimate scenes.” He explained. “You start with touch that’s less intimate like a handshake and gradually work your way towards more intimacy – within your boundaries obviously – so you might end with a kiss on the cheek. My last theatre gig, the romantic leads were starting with a hug and ending with a French kiss!”

As he spoke, the familiarity of the approach dawned on her. She had indeed worked through acting exercises like this, albeit the Galway Acting School had a slightly less sophisticated name for the technique.

“That’s an excellent idea, Luke.” She took a sip of the tea, the tart taste felt refreshing on her tongue.

“I feel like we’re close enough to just start with the kiss.” He said the words in a casual manner. Regardless, something about them caused her throat to constrict and the tea to flow straight back out of her mouth; she spluttered onto the table and onto him.

“Jesus!” He pushed his chair back, moving away.

“Sorry, sorry.” She placed a hand on her chest. “I’ve just never been propositioned in front of a gaggle of Squishmallows before.”

For the second time that afternoon, he rolled his eyes at her.

“Note that I called the very sweet toys a gaggle when the words demon-spawn and cultists were right in front of me?”

“Yeah, no you’re right, this is a vast improvement.” He replied dryly.

“Truth be told, I hadn’t thought much about where I stand on the intimacy hierarchy with you, so it took me a bit by surprise.” She added.

“Really? It’s all I’ve been thinking about.” He smiled.

There was something about the way he said those words that gave her an odd feeling in her stomach. She found herself thinking about how deeply thoughtful he was. He often described himself as an introvert and an overthinker. She was starting to see what he meant. There was something nice about having someone be considerate of you in this way.

“Well, I’m going to be thinking about it too.” She assured him.

In any other setting, telling someone you would be thinking about kissing them whilst you were sat in the home they shared with their long-term partner would be a incredibly odd thing to do. It was one of the beautifully weird things about being an actor that she had long come to accept.

They spent the rest of the afternoon refuelling with green tea and tea cakes and scribbling notes onto their respective scripts. As the hours flew by, their chairs gradually drew closer, their knees touched, and their hands brushed the others’ arms and hands in physical gestures that felt second-nature. Laying out their worst fears together felt a lot more intimate than any physical touch that was happening between them.

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by @viola-ophelia <3 Thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 58 on my primary page, 38 on my trash page, and 5 on my catch-all.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? LOL if you think I'm going to add up the word count of 101 total fics, you're crazy! So instead, I'll just say my longest fic on my primary page is 96,771, my trash page is 34,787, and my catch-all is 11,722, for a total of 143,280. So with that being for just three fics, I shudder to think what my actual word count is for 101 fics lol.

3. What fandoms do you write for? Lately, TURN: Washington's Spies, though past fandoms have been H.annibal, E.mma 2020, and The M.agicians, to name a few.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? I'm just going to stick to my main page for this:

Wake-up Call (From D.usk till D.awn: the Series) (438)

Changing Winds (S.tranger T.hings) (384)

Lost in the Dark (S.tranger Things) (284)

Anyone But You (That 70s Show) (265)

To Thaw and Burst into Bloom (S.tranger Things) (235)

^^The funny thing is, none of these were fandoms I was overly into/participated in much, but they're way more popular than my favored fandoms, which is why none of what I'm TRULY proud of is listed in my top kudos ranking. Ah well.

5. Do you respond to comments? I do! In the past, I've always made friends through reviews/reviewing, so I always respond to comments and leave comments on works I've enjoyed. :) I really wish engagement/fic friendships were more encouraged these days.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Uhh, probably Folie a Deux (H.annibal) or To K.iss, to Consume (Turn). OH, and Let the Weary Rest (Turn), where I killed off Ben lol.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? After 2020, pretty much all of my fics had happy endings. The World is Made Wrong made me happiest though, I'd say.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I'd rather not jinx myself, but I haven't since I was a kiddo! And that hate was deserved tbh, cuz they were just telling me I wrote xyz wrong since I was a child/didn't bother to research.

9. Do you write s.mut? *gestures vaguely at my trash page* Uh. Yeah. lol I don't really have a specific type I write, beyond M/F, if that's what you're asking -- the specific scenarios are typically a case-by-case basis.

10. Do you write crossovers? I used to write quite a few! Nowadays, I save that more for things like RP and edits, though I do still enjoy them. Sometimes, crossovers work better than canon, I said what I said.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I have! But I was like 13 at the time, and the person posted it in the same ship/fandom, so Idk what their plan was lol. Fortunately, they deleted it the day I reviewed.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! A few times, actually (all for the H.annibal fandom).

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Sure have! They're all RP-turned-fics though, cuz I've never actually asked someone to write something who wasn't an RPer themselves.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? Probably David/Maddie from Moonlighting. They're timeless! <3

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I suppose my time travel romcom. It's basically me rewriting a book I've already created, but altering it for the Turn universe. Even though it's fun, it's kind of boring repurposing my old work, and most especially when there's so little engagement. I flourish on comments, alas. Other than that, I mostly tend to finish my works!

16. What are your writing strengths? An editor once told me my strengths are my dialogue and humor. She equated the first 20 pages of my book (a recent work) to a Shakespearean comedy, which really tickled me, ngl.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? World-building! I've improved with this by a lot, but I genuinely do think fic writers are conditioned to stop describing settings/appearance thanks to our audiences already KNOWING, and thus, our OG works suffer for it. Mine certainly do!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I wouldn't do it personally, since I doubt it'd translate well, but I encourage others to do it! I'll still read!

19. First fandom you wrote for? C.owboy B.ebop.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Probably The World is Made Wrong, since I've since reworked it and I'm still very proud of how that second run-through turned out (not the one available on AO3 -- that version is in all its heinous first draft glory lol).

Tagging: @retrograderesemblance @pagetreader @ms-march @culper-spymaster and whoever else wants to!

#mine #idky this felt like HW lol i was being so lazy!#thanks for tagging! <3 #long post tw

WIP Wednesday/Thursday

I was tagged by @pedroshotwifey and @theywhowriteandknowthings ❤️ ❤️

It was hard to decide which two WIPs I was going to do snippets of because I have so many. 👀 If I mention starting any more series and not just one shots, smack me. I should not have 11, I kid you not, 11 ongoing series. I went through my masterlist thinking it was like 5-6. 🤨 I was very wrong. Like Geez.... I gotta finish something. 🫣

Anyway, snippet one - from chapter 2 of Roc & Doc not finished yet:

Your face hardens at your friend’s joke and you start nervously pressing your hands together. At least it wasn’t the trenchcoat one she likes to make, thank goodness. Tim looked back at the door and stood up, shaking his head. “Hey Kim. Just knew Doc would want to hear how the case turned out. I’m going to head out Doc. I’m going to go make sure Stevenson isn’t still working on the homicide from last week. He makes fun of my chicken scratch, but he types slow as hell for someone fifteen years younger than me. Good night Doc, don’t steal anymore pens. I know she’ll be your accomplice.” Rockford nods, gives you a smile and once at the doorway, cuts his eyes at Kira before leaving.

Kim plops down across from you and snickers. “Did the famed detective get a bit pissed at me because I came between him and his dear Doc? For shame and I guess I did know you were taking his pens. To be fair, I did tell you to stop several times.” She playfully tapped her own hand as if she was being reprimanded. You sat back in your chair and shook your head. She’s been teasing you about this for as long as you had stolen that man’s pens well after. Tim didn’t tease you as much anymore, well sometimes when you got in the car and he asked to see your hands to make sure you didn’t remove anything from his glove box or console.

Snippet two is from a series I plan to start in March. It's for a Pedro character I only recently started writing for. 🥸 (Is included in the 11 series - that number still freaks me out. like that many unfinished ideas. 😭)

A moonbeam. It’s the first thing he thought of when he saw her. She was wearing a white nightgown - if he had to guess cotton with a thin robe about her shoulders that she decided to slip off. That’s a good choice, it’s a bit warm out tonight. Her hair is under a purple bonnet which she removes as well and sets it on top of the robe, both are on the back of her rocking chair. Black voluminous hair fell around her shoulders, it looked pillowy to the touch like the rest of its owner. Her substantial legs carried her to a small table beside her where she lit a candle. The minimal light makes her face glow. He can make out full lips, round cheeks and bright eyes behind her glasses. She eases down into her rocking chair and pours herself a brown liquid that looks similar to his and orange juice maybe? Well she could be one for mixed drinks. He wonders why she would be up at this ungodly hour drinking? She couldn’t have similar demons to him could she? Maybe some unknown fears or known fears? Could she be separating herself from someone inside the home?

I wonder which character it is? ☺️

Honorable mentions: Dave/Santi, Pero/Jack, Weddings 101 with Dieter, Jake Lockley fic, Santiago angst/fluff, Disco Dieter.

These aren't any less important, my motivation waxes and wanes, very often. 🤔

NPT: @maggiemayhemnj @megamindsecretlair @perotovar @daddy-dins-girl @trulybetty @joels-shitty-puns @magpiepills @gemmahale @tinytinymenace @movievillainess721 @alltheglitterandtheroar @grogusmum @soft-girl-musings @ilovepedro @beefrobeefcal @agentjackdaniels @javierpena-inatacvest @rhoorl @mysterious-moonstruck-musings @reallyrallyauthor @saturn-rings-writes

Sorry if you've done it already. ☺️

(Nerdie trying to think of how she's actually going to finish all the series she started - an entire mess of her own making) 😂

#WIP #WIP Wednesday #WIP Thursday #Nerdie is a day late #Nerdie has way too many open series #Tell her to finish some of them and to focus #pedro pascal #pedro pascal fanfiction #pedro pascal characters #fanfiction

The three closest matches were L_ST _N D_TA vs Open Your Eyes (51.8% or 6 votes)

Chug Jug vs I'll Fly Higher (50.3% or one vote!!)

And finally Earnest vs Wings of Moonlight, which was an exact tie!!

Even the poll to determine what we do in the event of a tie, almost tied (one vote difference)

(and for the record: my vote was for On Wings of Moonlight, so given the tiebreaker, Earnest wins)

An honorable mention goes to Mad This Time vs Let's Go and Meet the Bronies, which was the eighth closest match (53.9% or 23 votes) despite being between the fourth highest and lowest seeds.

Meet the Bronies was actually winning for the first few days of the poll, so if it had only lasted a day, Mad This Time would have been Upset this time.

Speaking of upsets, 20/64 of the matches were upsets, the first of which was Pony Waifu vs Double Rainboom.

Some artists were involved in a number of songs in the bracket. Below is how many songs by (or featuring) each artist were in the bracket, followed by how many of those made it into round two.

4everfreebrony |14 | 3 Friendship is Witchcraft | 9 | 8 The Living Tombstone | 9 | 7 Vylet Pony | 8 | 6 Wooden Toaster | 7 | 6* PrinceWhateverer | 7 | 5 Mandopony | 7 | 4 Aviators | 6 | 3 Acoustic Brony | 4 | 3 Mic the Microphone | 4 | 3 Awkward Marina | 4 | 2 Rainbow Dash Presents | 4 | 2 EileMonty | 4 | 2 Black Gryph0n | 4 | 2

*The one WoodenToaster song that lost was actually a remix of another of his songs, which did win

This is the same as above, but with the characters the song focuses on

Rainbow Dash |12 | 4 Luna |11 | 7 Pinkie Pie |10 | 5 Fluttershy | 9 | 4 Discord | 8 | 4 Sweetie Belle* | 7 | 6 Celestia | 7 | 2 Twilight | 6 | 4 Rarity | 6 | 3 Trixie | 5 | 2 Applejack | 5 | 1 Derpy/Muffins | 5 | 1 Octavia | 4 | 2

*4|3 of these are Sweetie Bot specifically

Songs that were a part of Brony Polka generally did well. How well? Well, at the start all 25 Brony Polka songs (including BP itself) were in the bracket. All but 3 of them made it into round 2. And the reason those 3 lost, was because they went against another Brony Polka Song.

17 songs took the melody of another song and just added new lyrics, like a Minecraft parody song (which one of them literally was). Of these, only 3 made it to round 2.

In order to adjust Shunks' top 100 list (technically 101, as she also placed Discord (remix) at #3 as a bonus) to a power of 2, I had to add 27 songs. Of these 27 new songs, only 9 made it to Round 2 (though three matchups were between two new songs, so the possible range of new songs making it to round 2 is 3-24)

9 songs were primarily made up of clips from the show. 5 of these made it to round 2

As for how my taste conforms to the Tumblr collective: I have 53 of the songs from the bracket saved to my Music folder. 34 of those songs made it to round 2 (though in some matchups, I had both songs saved, so the possible range is 10-43)

Also, here is the poll that wound up looking most like a penis poll.

Round 2 starts tomorrow!
