Just craving fluff and imagining College Au Shuggy celebrating the holidays by just doing very unchristmassy things together. They both seem like the type to like certain aspects of Christmas only to then be hit by waves of depression when the actual holiday arrives, so they just huddle under the covers together and watch Christmas classics such as “Die hard” or Gremlins together instead while eating Pizza and drinking eggnog till they can’t stand this stuff for another year. Buggy gives Shanks his gift at 2 am in the morning, an extremely ugly and old tacky sweater he found at a thrift shop a while ago. Shanks can immediately tell that it was cheap and Buggy most likely just went out and got him… SOMETHING, but also it’s hideous in a way he just adores and it has one of his favorite childhood cartoon characters on it and the fact alone Buggy went out and got him something is PERFECT and to Buggy’s horror that thing is gonna be his favorite sweater till the end of time. Buggy on the other hand suffers a mild mental breakdown and “Oh god I am the scum of the earth” reaction because Shanks actually went into a makeup store and got him an expensive eyeshadow Palette that Buggy has been eyeing for a while now. Kicker is Shanks didn’t even know that’s the Palette Buggy wanted, he legit just spent an hour in there with a picture of Buggy describing what Buggy looks for in makeup and what colors he likes and such and such and accidentally just landed on the correct one and rightfully deducted that he would probably like this one.
“WHY DID YOU GO AHEAD AND BUY ME THAT YOU HORRIBLE, UNFLASHY FANTASTIC BOYFRIEND?!” “I thought it would make you happy.” “IT WOULD IF I GOTTEN YOU ANYTHING GOOD AS WELL!! JUST A BED BATH AND BEYOND GIFTCARD WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!!” “Come on Buggy I love this thing-“ “THIS IS LIKE GIFT OF THE MAGI IF IT SUCKED EVEN MORE THAN IT ALREADY DOES!” “You could always kiss me to make up for it.” “I ALREADY DO THAT.” “Then let me kiss you… AND you’ll have to let me do it for the entire day without telling me I’m being sappy or disagreeing with me when I talk about how much I love you.” “…. Okay but you’re not allowed to say weird shit about my nose.” “…Can I kiss your nose?” “Ugh. I’ll allow it. But not in public!” “Deal. I won’t talk about how cute and kissable your nose is and I especially won’t talk about how cute and kissable it is in front of other people.” “YOU JUST- AUGH! You’re horrible! An absolutely awful boyfriend!” “Glad to have landed someone as amazing as you then.” “You-“ “Ah! We agreed on not disagreeing when I talk about how great you are!” “….fine.” “I love you... and I love how hard you blush when you can’t answer with a sassy comeback” “….mmmmnnnggghh!!! loveyoutoo.”
At first I was like "awww this is so adorable:')" but thwn I got to the dialogue part and went "ok, so we're assuming they're gonna get together, now are we ahahah"
I'm guessing you're the same anon who sent me a couple other college au asks - so first off: Thank you, you honestly keep me productive and remind me to finish this fic lol (since I named some of the others, maybe I can call you ogan - bc og anon or something idk, you can refuse or give me another nickname if you want...)
But also... have I given any indication that this will be a story with a happy end? Because, I've written ends with a doomed one sided love triangle, one of the main characters being hated by the love of their life and in a hospital, while the one the other was chasing rejected them indefinitely... it was my magnum opus for quite a while, so who's to say I'll give this one an ending like that?
I'm joking, I'm joking... or am I >;]]]
Anyway, I love the idea of them spending the holidays together! Buggy doesn't really have any close relatives to go to, all his friends went home, and thinks that Shanks is the same way, because why else would he stay behind with him?
Shanks is just so happy that he can finally be with his boyfriend. He makes hot cocoa (and it's horrible, but Buggy remakes it), he buys a cardboard cutout of a Christmas tree and they put stickers on it instead of decorations. At one point they start printing out memes and pictures of themselves and stick them on there as well. (Shanks secretly writes a wish, something cheesey like how he wants them to be like this for the rest of their lives, on the back of some of the photos)
In all reality, I believe that "Die Hard" and "Home Alone" (because these two franchises are basically the same, just one is kid coded lol) would be both Shanks and Buggy's favourites. I mean look at how they turned out ahahaha tho I must confess, I've never seen Gremlins, so I'll just trust you on that one':)
I also think thay Buggy would get horrible gifts very purposefully. Like he would look for hours to find the most raggedy and washed out looking sweater with the ugliest print of like... a green cow on red mars with a Christmas hat on both the cow and mars saying "moo-ry christmas" in comic sans or something horrifying like that. Like that one video of the guy who bought a card for the wrong occasion, for wrote a message to someone else and scratched out the name to look like it was a second hand card. I couldn't find the og video but I found this tiktok, hope it helps with the explanation.
In my mind Buggy thinks it's hilarious. Him and Shanks both love pranks and just jokes like this in general, so he would get it, right? Shanks liking it unironically wasn't in the plan. But then bad comes to worse and Shanks takes gift giving seriously - Buggy is caught off guard.
I love the image of Shanks standing in the cosmetics section of a big store that was one of the best according to google. He's just staring intensely, and color checking, and googling, and staring again - trying his best to remember everything Buggy had told him about make-up.
At some moment in the time he's searching, one of the workers there goes up to him to see if he needs help thinking "aw, poor lost man looking for something for his girlfriend, he looks like he needs help" and then Shanks shows her a picture of an honest to God clown going "I want the best for my boyfriend". And they have a little "This is your man?" "yeah" "Look at the picture" "that's mine :')" "and you're ok with this?" "imma stick beside him " moment. And then they just start looking together. Before they notice it's a whole horde of helpers and Shanks going all, "is that teal? I think he said he loves teal, but not one with glitter, wait, bring back the cherry red. Can you compare it to the sour cherry. Which one would match his lipstick best? This one's his favorite." and they're like a council, super invested at that point.
I also like to think that on new years eve, they're watching a marathon, and Buggy just falls asleep on Shanks's chest halfway through. He does that often and Shanks loves it. He doesn't even care that much that sometimes his make-up would be imprinted on his shirt .
Shanks showing love to Buggy's nose, despite his insecurities, makes me melt. (spoilers ig:) I was going to have a little dialogue/confrontation that portrayed that, but I was going to make it a "Shanks not caring about it and just acting like it's not there" thing, but him actually thinking it's cute and being all loving towards the one thing he's most insecure about is actually way better. I might utilize it later on lol :))

okay i just ordered some loop engage earplugs and not to be a capitalist or whatever but i’m VERY excited about the prospect of this new product!!!! they’re supposed to help with noise sensitivity in like group settings/public/etc so that i can still hear and engage in conversations but won’t be so overwhelmed by background noise and i’m just. SO excited!!!!
i’m truly almost in tears at the prospect of being able to go to restaurants and family parties without dealing with sensory overload and inevitably becoming the killjoy who has to leave early or keeps stepping outside for air or disappearing to the bathroom. idk, i know that i won’t know how well they actually work until i try them but they have good reviews and just the idea that this company is making equipment to help with something that’s been such a big problem for me for YEARS is so amazing and i can’t wait to try them!!! they say they can help with kid noise too which is just. i’ll believe it when i see it but if i can end my work day and NOT need to go sit in my silent room for hours because i’m just overloaded on sound????? if i can finish a shift and then be able to sit and talk with my mom without feeling like i’m gonna rip my hair out because of sound???????? that would genuinely be life changing. i want to cry happy tears at the prospect. i’m so tired of not being able to be with the people i love because i don’t have the capacity to handle the sounds around us. i’m so tired of saying no to EVERY invite. i want to be able to hang out with people without having to meet very specific environmental conditions. the idea that i might be able to do that even just a little bit is flooring.
also, just look how pretty they are!!! they’re so cute and i’m ordering additional colors of the insert thingies (called mutes) so that i can wear different colors on different days and i’m just. really fucking hyped to maybe not have to constantly say no to socialization because of my disabilities!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and yes i DID see them on my feed and at first think they were cockrings but you know what!!! that adds to the charm of it all!!!! look at the pretty colors!!!! i’ll put cock rings in my ears i don’t give a fuck!!!! they’re cute!!!!!
loop’s website specifically talks about accessibility and disability and how they made these in response to a lot of ND and disabled customers saying how they liked their products but wished they had something that more specifically fit their needs - they listened to their customers and made accessibility equipment!!! they started as just a festival/party company and then a lot of disabled ppl were like “hey that helps US” and the company was like “oh shit that’s awesome let’s help you MORE”!!!! how cool is that!!!!
also they’re AFFORDABLE!!!! not dirt cheap but when i first saw the ads i was expecting to open and see it was like. $75-$200, the way fancy shmancy pretty stuff like this normally is, but then it was $30!!!! i can swing $30!!!! so i did!!!! and now i have this new thing to look forward to and i just feel great!!!!
anyways this has been me ranting and raving about a product i haven’t even received yet lol i just!!!! am so excited!!!!! i can’t wait to get them and try them out!!!!!

Really lazy sketches and character designs featuring a shitpost 😏
THE TWO characters at the top are Iconoclasm and Victoriam Republica and though they deadass have the same color schemes and both look sorta knighty they are NOT RELATED IN ANY MEANS idk HOW they both came out like that maybe I’m just a creatively bankrupt LOSER
Clothes hanger knees over there on the left is a big solemn dude who likes to work and write poems THOUGH he will never tell anyone he writes poems that’s HIS business PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!! But currently he’s on a MISSION to destroy all Autobot records and art and history bcuz he sees it as super wrong and pretty much like blasphemy so he uses his dope ass fire abilities to like burn information and citadels and clerks who have the information or whatever …
Not much is rlly known about him though but there are rumors that he’s destroying so many things not entirel becuz he just thinks Autobot stuff sucks Major butt but because he’s trying to erase his OWN history!!! Iconoclasm only such a different attitude, fighting style, education, and general aura about him that a lot of people think he’s ex-Autobot, though he will never confirm nor deny that and is entiiiiiirely loyal to the Decepticon cause, so what does it matter??
But still. Wonder who his family is 😏
Unicorn looking headass on the right doesn’t have much lore written for him because I designed him in like one night spur of the moment because I wanted to make another knight character (I have like. Three.) but I know he’s good gone bad. Maybe he was like an Autobot knight that got brainwashed or whatever idk all I know is he has amnesia and he’s SAD all the time bcuz he misses his husband :(
He kinda looks like a gundham or something though idk how that happendx😭
and the shitpost is just whiz abt to be assassinated by marshall Marshall really hates that stupid little arcade cabinet stipid stupid stupid stupid STUPID!!! I was drawing a bunch of shitposrs for an animatic bcuz I was gonna do the chainsaw man opening to a bunch of characters but like the Microsoft paint version because those memes are hilarious but then I like ran out of energy after making like 9 of them so now I just have a bunch of shitposts in a video file and I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it LOLLL
Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR I made new year art and was gonna post it but then I looked at it again and it was UGGGLYYYYY so I’m not LOL I really hope EVERYONE HERE has an AMAZING NEW Year 2019 to 2022 has been very cruel to us so let’s hope 2023 is WAY better and super awesome coming have a great YEAR

I finally finished that coloring page I was working on!
Context: I’ve mentioned in one or two previous posts that I’ve been working on this one digital coloring page for a while in procreate (because I can’t draw all that well unless it’s a building, but I CAN color, as far as I can tell—not that it really matters if I am not, in fact, good at coloring because I was doing it for fun and yeah)
This isn’t the first time I’ve posted something like this here, so I could SWEAR I had a tag for it, but I can’t find the prev post so I have no clue what that tag was. Maybe I should make a list of tags for myself to navigate my own blog… i mean I did it for my ao3 bookmarks, so why not? (Oh and maybe I’ll repost that other picture, because I was proud of that one too)
Anyways the way this goes is: Here is the original and then my colored version is after the cut.
Tumblr media
I did end up coloring over the watermark in my colored version though, so everyone pay attention to the fact that
This was not drawn by me
It is a coloring page
I think that the og artist is someone who goes by “Glory & Aster”, though despite my best efforts (reverse image search on 4 different websites and then googling that name) I cannot find the original post. It appears to only exist on pinterest, though I am at least pretty certain it IS actually a coloring page based on the title it was given on the pinterest post (though, pinterest does have a habit of stealing art, so I was concerned and looked for the artist… who i could not find. So here I am, trying to make sure everyone knows that I DID NOT DRAW THIS I JUST COLORED IT though idk who the artist for the linework is.)
Okay here ya go:
Tumblr media
I am very proud of this lol I’m always trying to do darker skin tones, because as someone with light skin they’re more difficult, but when I do the shading I always accidentally make the skin tone lighter >n< On the other hand—if she lives in the deep sea she could theoretically have lighter skin due to a lack of melanin, right? So at least it makes sense, even if it’s not what I originally intended.
And hey! I did manage to make the Madam Mermaid look like she’s in a dark area! (Like she’s deep-ish underwater!!!!) And I learned a lot about how to use layer filters for shading and highlights during this project too, which took, like, at least half a year to complete—like, those translucent sleeves! They were difficult because the human body is a Mystery to me and I was struggling with figuring out where the arms went. But I did itttt
So yeah, I’m very proud of my mermaid

Relationship Status: Single and happily staying that way until i’ve got myself together enough to truly commit to someone else as well.
Favourite Colour: Cerulean (blue)!! It was always my favorite crayon color and the namesake of the Cerulean Warbler, which is one of my favorite birds.
Favourite Food: I say something different for this every time I’m asked it, but this time i’m gonna say cherries!! i’ve been REALLY into those wonderful, fresh dark cherries recently.
Song Stuck in Your Head: A medley of the songs from TMG’s Sweden since I listened to it for five and a half hours today, but mainly Deianara Crush and The Whole Wide World.
Last Thing you Googled: “mirrorless camera” because i’m thinking about getting into landscape photography and wanted to know how expensive the cameras are (the answer is Very lol, so i will be saving up for a bit).
Time: 10:09pm
Dream Trip: Oh gosh… dream trip EVER, i couldn’t say… But rn i’m particularly dreaming of the trip i wanna take out western US to see the Grand Canyon and southern Utah for the eclipse next fall… Remains to be seen whether it’ll come true or not, but i’m hopeful!!
Last Book You Read: The Alaska Native Reader: History, Culture, Politics compiled and edited by Maria Sháa Tláa Williams.
Last Book You Enjoyed Reading: Haha, very funny, but definitely the above!! The first book in awhile where finishing it made me feel empty rather than victorious… It had become such a part of my daily routine that i’ll really miss it! Will definitely be checking out some of the extended reading suggestions in the back when i have more book-buying money!
Last Book You Hated Reading: I was about to say I don’t know because i’m VERY selective about what i read (and also just don’t read that much if i’m being honest), but THEN i remembered this fucking AWFUL birding “memoir” that i attempted to read back in Fall of 2019 and had to quit because it was just soooooooo pretentious and full of itself… i’m not naming the book, partially because i don’t remember and partially because it’s a pretty local thing… not something widely published, and i’m not here to punch down. but Yeah. Terrible experience, 0/10. The amount of birders who think they’re qualified to write a memoir just because they’re well-traveled is STAGGERING…
Favourite Thing to Cook/Bake: gosh idk… I do cook and bake a decent amount, but it’s not something i really enjoy doing… I guess anything that lets me knead dough… That’s one thing I do enjoy because i like the feeling and it smells great too!
Most Niche Dislike: Since getting into giffing, I have a real pet peeve for gifsets that aren’t slowed down enough. Like. I guess this is a preference thing, but imo there’s a certain amount of slowing down that you need so that your gifs don’t move awkwardly fast and many people overlook that and just go with whatever the default setting is regardless of how the finished product looks in motion. I won’t reblog otherwise flawless gifsets if they move too fast because it totally ruins it for me. I no longer find it enjoyable to look at.
Opinion on the Circus: like. morally?? or is this a reference i’m not getting? Regardless, i don’t think i know enough to answer this.
Do You Have a Sense of Direction: For the first time in a long time, yeah, I think I do. Maybe not long term, but i’m not looking to lock myself into one track forever right now, anyway… Short-term, i’m really getting it together and am super proud of myself! Definitely feel like I’m working towards a coherent future now, finally!!

Color themes in RAC (4)
Even though I said I’d focus on the colors, I noticed this along the way !
There seems to be a few fairytale-y thing in RAC and i love it.
Moonlight Becomes You - Sinatra
Idk what the entirety of this song means lol. I mean, obviously it’s a sweet love song but there were so many things I didn’t understand in it as English is my third language and I have yet to master it 😭. So I did some research and apparently it’s from a movie (the first version of this song at least) and man sang it to serenade a princess under her balcony lol. I then thought that Taeddy could be the one serenading Angel (ofc)?? Also Angel says that Taeddy looks like a prince in D-D-D-Dim Sum and that she wishes she were his princess. Idk, just speculating (I’m looking for crumbs atp).
“With the way he holds your feet, like fragile flowers, worried they’ll be crushed in his hands, you almost feel like you’re in a fairytale. Sometimes he feels like he’s born from one… even when he’s upset. In a perfectly tailored tux and hair swept back, Taehyung looks like a prince.
Oh, how you wish to be his princess.” (Geraldson Residence).
“…It looks like a castle that’s been repurposed as a museum…” (Geraldson Residence) again princess themes lol. We know that Angel is insecure about her inexperience and the fact that Taeddy has seen so many women, so I find it really funny that you describe Anna’s house as a castle, maybe implying that she’s a princess, and then one chapter later tell us that Angel wishes she were Taeddy’s princess. 😭 Maybe Anna is everything Angel is not, or maybe she’s someone Angel wishes she could resemble. I mean, she has fucked Taeddy lol.
“A copy of The Canterbury Tales finally lays in your hand” again fairytale theme. Don’t know what this find symbolizes though as I’ve not read this book 😭.
I just thought it was adorable!
Anyway, I’ll now leave your inbox (finally)
Have a nice day/night <3
PS: I read the first chapter of your new bang Chan fic and it’s amazing as usual !
Ah! You picked up on my fairytale references! This is so exciting!
Okay so, for the most part, Rotten Angelcake is my way of working through my personal trauma. Writing a very sexy, plus sized woman who is inexperienced like me and so desperate for a sexy man (taehyung) to befriend and be close with has been my therapy lmao. With that being said, a lot of my personal wishes and life experiences tend to bleed into the story. I grew up loving fairytales so a lot of the fairytale references are a direct projection of my wants. I have always felt like a some aspect of my experiences reflect Cinderella's. I wanted to make some vague references, for Angel's context, of a rags-to-riches kind of story.
Since you mentioned a lot of examples of it, I will further break it all down. To start, Moonlight Becomes You just encompasses a lot of the atmosphere between Taehyung and Angel when they go out together. You're all dressed up to go dreaming. Now, don't you tell me I'm wrong is like the first line in the song (if I remember correctly). Do with that lyric what you wish 👀
Taehyung being a prince to Angel is more so like him being a saviour. He funds her life and keeps her company after that lull you have when you finish school and have no idea what you wanna do and all your college friends have moved on to other things. (Again, a nod to my life lmao) This is also a little nod to a Cinderella-type of fairytale since her prince saves her from her own misery as well.
The references of the Geraldson mansion being castle are simply pointing towards a world Angel does not feel very comfortable in since she does not come from a place like that. Taehyung, though is not born into riches, comfortable blends and fits in. Angel does not.
The Canterbury Tales is just a reference to my degree. It is a classic work and Taehyung is a classic, sophisticated and intelligent man. It seems like something he would pick up and read for the sentiment and not really the context. That's really why I mentioned it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all your thoughts and observations with me! I really enjoyed hearing them all and am so excited by all this things you pointed out! I can't wait for the story to further unfold and for more of these to make sense.
Have a wonderful day/night too!! 🥰💞

Yesterday C and O called and O said that hospitalization was a definite thing that they want me to do and check me in to once I was back. Terrifying.
799 yesterday, somehow, but maybe my calculation was off
I saw a cute limited edition sold out moleskine notebook that’d be PERFECT as a cute little ana notebook. I actually wanted to get a dif bigger version at B&N and it was the last one but too expensive so I didn’t, and then I found that one online!! It’s a cuter color and it’s mini so it’s more portable and it’s so cute!! The person won’t accept any of my offers on it tho agh.
Anyway I streamed today and someone told me to go to the toilet and make myself throw up. Oof.
9:36 pm
I’m so proud of myself omg. I was so tempted to try this sauce I made w noodles or rice but I did it w tofu instead, I had like less than 80 cals and was actually full!! It was extra firm tho, I wish it was silken. I hope I can find somewhere near my place in Chicago that has reasonably priced silken tofu. And shirataki noodles for that matter.
10:56 pm
O and C called me to make sure I took my pill. My littlest sister was with me. I have to take food w my pill and I made a pack of Samyang buldak kimchi ramen intending on only eating like 1/3-1/2 of the pack so I could try to stay under 500 cals today, but my sister tricked me into finishing it and I was pressured to with O watching me on call ugh.
743 today
But hey that’s <800 2 days in a row at least. If I keep it up, I’ll get myself a cute chocolate bar for each day and start a new chocolate stash. :^)
For every day under 500 I’ll ummm…. idk yet. 2 candy bars? A pack of cute cookies or something? I *would* say a drink or something, but C and O would be really upset about that. Also I’m worse at controlling my appetite when I’m drunk.
Ugh, realizing I have my fourth or fifth therapy appt this week, and it’ll be my first in-person one. And also I have to break up w this therapist during this lol. God, I’ll have to tell her about the double relapse and the hospitalization consideration and aghhhhhH!! God it’ll be embarrassing.

food log
7/8
10-2PM: black coffee
lots of water and an electrolyte drink
7:00PM: healthy choice spinach linguini (270)
9:30PM: kevin’s brand korean style bbq chicken (450)
total: 720
made it nearly 24 hours before i started to get dizzy, also my dude was staying up late with me so i needed some actual energy. so i ate lol. the chicken was a little gross and not honestly worth the money, but not entirely not worth eating as it was good protein. i remember loving it back when i was doing keto but then again i loved anything i could microwave and keep my carb count low. anyway yeah. i was also going to stop at just the meal i had earlier but that’s kind of stupid, you know? there’s no getting this week back on track, no matter how low i cut, so i may as well let myself eat what i call “normally”.
i was going over my calorie tracker spread sheet and noticed some inconsistencies with my coloring. mostly where i had marked things much darker/into a higher category than they should have been. i assume these to be days where i felt like i had to punish myself for eating too much and graded myself poorly or something, idk. there was some other stuff where i just wasn’t consistent with what i consider to be the cut off for a color category. the resulting fix has ended up looking a lot less “negative” to me overall, as there’s a lot more stuff that should have been considered shades of green or just colored in more pale colors. what i mean to say is it looks like i’ve been doing better (or worse, since starving myself shouldn’t really be an achievement) than i thought. i’m still convinced i haven’t lost any weight and also at the same time the moment i stop restricting it’s all coming back. don’t ask me how that works. but the colors tickle my brain.
anyway yeah, today was great. lots of time with my guy who misses me now and has realized we really don’t spend too much time with each other anymore. just five or six hours a day, which is what he wanted and now regrets. maybe he shouldn’t have pushed me away like that and i wouldn’t have changed my entire schedule like that. he’s lucky that a) i love him and b) this current job and accompanying sleep schedule suck ass and i’m eager to go back to overnights. i crave the night (i’m an edgelord with a sleep disorder lmao).
got my plane ticket too, so i’ll be gone on the 20th of september all the way to mid december. i’ll be trying to eat either at maintenance, maybe slightly cutting if i can manage, so much won’t be missed here of my progress. i hope to finish what i started here when i come back. i want to be so fucking skinny, man.

Heya ^^ !
I saw that your asks were open so i decided to slid in :3 (Cha Cha real smooth)
Anyway i wanted to ask :
Aizawa that haven't seen reader in a long time (like maybe since highschool) and fall in love with them as time passes
He starts to hate himself tho because he HATED reader in highschool (idk why tho lol-)
Anyways if you don't want to do it , i completely understand ^^ please have an amazing day/night !
(also remember to stay hydrated !)
Okay, so I really tried hard to do this, but I couldn't find myself writing that he hates himself for liking reader so I think there's a bit of that mixed in there, not much. Mainly because I love you guys so much I can't imagine someone hating you! So anyways, I hope this works and I'm really sorry that this took so long. Hope you enjoy it!! ^^
Warnings: none? idk this is really cute- (plz lmk if i should add one)
Word count: 1899
Genre: Fluff
His head snapped around as you passed and he gaped. It isn’t… it can’t be! But it was. It was you, and oh, how you had matured. You weren’t the same immature, class-clown student you were back in high school, that one student whom all the teachers hated.
You turned into a nearby store and disappeared among all the fully stocked maze-forming walls. He raced in after you, skidding to a halt just inside, just before he would’ve slammed into an old woman.
He held the door open for the lady and replied, “Of course!” with a smile to her feeble but cheery “Thank you!”
He turned and flew around the store, scouring the aisles and lanes for that flash of [_______]-colored hair that he recognized so well.
He located you in the produce section, examining the tomatoes. He stood, staring at your form as you picked one up. He took deep, slow breaths, trying to convince himself it was okay, that you weren’t the same person you were all those years ago.
Once he’d built up enough confidence, he strode over and tapped you on the shoulder gently, as if he was going to break you. You turned around, eyes wide.
“Oh! Hi!” You said, backing up against the racks of food and scanning him up and down.
“Hey,” he replied gruffly. “Haven’t seen you in a while.” He opened his arms wide and stepped forward, wrapping you in a hug. Your eyes went wide and you stiffened.
He backed up, looking down. “Sorry, that-that was weird.”
You laughed. “Yeah.”
“Well, I haven't seen you since high school… would you… maybe… want to catch up?” He asked, fiddling with his hands, eyes darting everywhere. You snorted.
“I thought you hated me.”
“Wha- no! I never hated you, I just thought you were… difficult.” He stammered.
“You’re not helping your case,” You chuckled.
He rolled his eyes. “Do you want to have dinner or not?”
You froze. “Uhm. Who-who said anything about dinner?”
“Well- I mean, I- I wanted to take you out and figured asking to catch up would be less awkward, but I guess not.”
He went to leave and you lightly tapped him on the shoulder. He turned back around and raised an eyebrow. “I’ll go out with you. But you’re paying. And maybe just a coffee or something.”
He smirked. “Alright, I can make that work. What do you think about that new coffee place that opened up down the street? I remember you used to like frappuccinos..”
You grinned. “That sounds great. I’m surprised you remember that, honestly.”
He smiled. “Great. Saturday, two PM?” He asked.
“Hang on, let me check…” You pulled out your phone and clicked on that day and time, making sure you were free. “Okay, yeah, looks like I’m free then. Sounds good.” He pulled out his own phone and handed it to you, letting you add your number.
“It’s a date.” He replied, walking past you to the back of the store. You continued your shopping spree, finishing up a few hours later. You arrived back home pretty late. Like six pm late. Most of that was to blame on traffic and the fact that you drove across town, but whatever.
You unpacked your things, loading the pantry and fridge down with everything you could ever need. “I have a problem.” You muttered, pushing the fridge door closed. You grabbed the cereal and milk you’d left out for dinner and mixed them in a bowl. You fought to close the fridge again, and placed the cereal in the pantry.
You carried your cereal over to the couch, where you sat in peace, the only noise being the air conditioner, the clink of your spoon against the bowl, and your obnoxiously loud chewing. You swallowed, sighed, and reached for the remote. You turned on the tv and scrolled through the channels, finally settling on an old action movie from when you were a kid.
You watched the tv with severe concentration, finishing off your dinner. You got up, eyes still locked on the tv, and placed your dishes in the sink. You paused for a moment, questioning whether to do them now or wait until later. You decided on later and returned to the couch.
Around eight, you decided to take a shower and head to bed, seeing as you had work the next day. You undressed and turned on the water, sticking out your foot to test the temperature. You cringed as the freezing cold liquid attacked your toe.
A few minutes later, the water was warmed up enough to where you could get in comfortably. You stepped in, relaxing as the warm water splashed against your soft skin. You sighed contentedly. As always, your shower thoughts began to attack your mind. You leaned against the wall, scrubbing shampoo into your hair.
What was he thinking, asking me out like that? Isn’t he like forty? Is that illegal? You made a mental note to look up the dating ages when you got out. Even if it’s legal, do I even want him? He was my teacher. Won’t that be weird? God, what was he thinking? You sighed. “Whatever,” you muttered.
You relaxed into the warm water as it rinsed over your head, trailing soapy water down your back. You rubbed your fingertips into your scalp gingerly, making sure you got all the soap out. You seized the conditioner and squeezed it out onto your palm. You squished the water out of your hair and smeared the cream into your hair, saturating it entirely.
You tied back your slimy hair and rinsed off your hands. You grabbed your face scrub and rubbed it on your face, humming to yourself. You got lost in your thoughts and the soft sensation of your thumbs pressing circles into your features.
You rinsed off your face and tugged the hair band out of your hair, wrinkling your nose at the feeling of it falling onto your shoulders. You grabbed the comb from the shelf beside you and ran it through your ends, gradually going higher and higher until you were running long, extended strokes down from your scalp to your ends.
You turned around and let the water finish attacking your silky tresses, using your fingertips to ruffle your roots. Ensuring the conditioner was fully washed out. You turned off the water, squeezed the excess water out of your hair and stepped out. You grabbed your towel off the hanger and wrapped it around your body, walking to the mirror.
You reached up and cleared a spot to do your skincare routine. You were halfway through when your phone rang. Unknown Number flashed across your screen. You squeezed out a dollop of moisturizer onto your index finger and swiped to answer the call, putting it on speakerphone.
“Hello?” You asked, evenly dabbing the cream onto your face.
“Hey.” A familiar voice responded. You froze.
“Aizawa?” You asked.
“Please, call me Shota.” He replied huskily.
“Um, okay.” Your hands shook as you placed them on the edge of the countertop to steady yourself. “How- how can I help you?” You asked, your question filled with voice cracks.
He chuckled, his voice getting deeper by the second. You straightened back up and resumed your routine as he continued. “So, about that date on Saturday? Yeah. Something came up.”
You sighed. It’s not like this is something new. You were stood up or cancelled on almost every time. “So what if we meet up now?” He continued, surprising you.
“Um, yeah, right- right now?” You asked, confirming the time.
“Yeah, if that’ll work for you.” He replied.
“I just got out of the shower, so as long as you don’t mind no makeup and wet hair, it sounds fine to me.” You said.
“I don’t mind at all. Do you want me to bring snacks or anything?” He asked.
“So I have a slight shopping problem,” You mentioned, tying your hair back into a low pony. “So pretty much anything you want, I have. If you want to bring something, go right ahead.”
Silence. “I’ll be there in a few. What’s the address?”
You responded with your address and you both said goodbye. You went to the bedroom and pulled on a loose-fitting hoodie and some comfy sweatpants. If he said he was okay with it, he better not have been lying.
You exited the room, stopped, turned around and retrieved socks. Fuzzy socks. You put them on as well and sighed in contentment. You made your way to the kitchen and pulled out some microwave popcorn bags, throwing one in the microwave.
Walking over to the TV, you grabbed the remote again and began scrolling through Netflix, trying to find something you thought he might like. You realized you had absolutely no idea what he liked, and settled on a house-hunting show, just for background noise.
You settled down on the couch and got lost in the show. About ten minutes had passed before the doorbell finally rang. You unfolded your legs and stuffed your hands inside your hoodie pocket and went to answer the door, limping slightly because your foot fell asleep. You open the door to a very happy Shota, arms laden with goodies.
“Hi!” He says, walking past you. He empties his arms onto your plain coffee table and turns to see you again. He opens his arms, still smiling and wraps you in a hug. You return it, your face turning sideways against his collarbone.
You place your hands on your hips and scan your eyes over the coffee table. “I thought I said you didn’t have to bring anything?” You asked.
He shrugged. “Didn’t have to. I wanted to.”
You sighed. “Whatever. What do you want to watch? Any good movies in mind?” You asked, plopping down on the couch with your feet tucked in under your ass. He claimed his spot right next to you, leaned on the corner between the back of the couch and the armrest, and pulled you onto his chest.
He hummed into your ear. “I haven’t heard of any, I’m willing to try anything though!” He added, smiling into your neck.
You giggled and turned on the TV, pulling up the first house-hunting channel you could find. “This good?” You asked, tilting your head back to look at him.
“Yeah, I’ve actually been meaning to watch this,” he jokes.
You narrow your eyes at him. “I can change it…” You mutter, your hand lingering by the remote. He leaned forward and grabbed your hand, pulling it back to rest on your lower chest.
“No. This is fine,” he insisted, gently kissing your neck. You giggled and leaned farther into him.
A few hours later, you’d watched all the good movies you could find, eaten most if not all of the food he’d brought and the two of you were slowly drifting off to sleep together on the couch, the TV still flashing lights at you.
Shota pulled you farther up his chest as he scooted down to lay fully on the couch and turned on his side so he was spooning you. “Goodnight, Y/N,” he mumbled sleepily into your ear.
“G’night, Shota,” You mumbled back before closing your eyes and drifting to sleep. His arms tightened around you as he did the same.

🤔🥰👏😭😭👏🥰🥰😭😭😭OKAY OKAY OKAY I’M BACK
TOOK ME A HOT MINUTE BC TIS THE LIFE OF A PROCRASTINATOR (just bc I had other things to do) AND OVER-ACHIEVER BUT! HERE WE ARE.
Alright now I was just gonna say that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anyway, yes I’m having feelings, no I don’t really remember them, and yes this will have less emojis than it would have given that I’m on the computer and not my phone so this goes faster xDD.
ANYWAY
Also I was gonna say (finally remembered it lol) at the time, well I did say out loud, after laughing: ANDREA NOOO HE’S DYING YOU CAN’T DO THAT XDD
But technically it was for when he recovered lol, not while he was still dying, so we’re good XD. Especially because she’s being protective and I just love that in people and characters, especially (especially) because she’s been protective over CARLOS cause just CARLOS, and also especially (especially [especially]) because it’s funny xDD.
Anyway!
Onto the summary, the reaction over all :D.
If you will, it’s time for the:
REVIEW
Alright, so, overall: I. ABSOLUTELY. A D O R E D. THIS EPISODE. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Now, it may just be because of the Tarlos and Grace (and Judd, obviously), but this is probably my favorite episode this Season so far :)).
Seriously though, I am living my best life. If I had the energy, I might even write a Tarlos talking fic myself. Now, I don’t, not right now, nor the time, which is why I apologize if this is a shorter review than other episodes, which it probably will be - it’s been an hour and a half since the show ended, I can’t use emojis as easily so I get a little less distracted lol, and I’m just less sucked/zeroed in to my phone since like, idk, I’m just more in the environment, and like, aware xDD. Another reason for a shorter review is that I got my covid vaccine booster today, and, as the wonderful words of the amazingly wise mas said/state, that booster sure can covid. In short, I’m gradually feeling worse and worse, so, uh xdd. This is distracting me a little though, so let’s continue on with it :). Lol, maybe it won’t be a shorter review, but certainly less about the episode xD. Maybe not, idk yet, lol.
And also like I said I’m not freaking out as much anymore LOL XD. Well, I mean because of the whole, it ended 90+ minutes ago (100 actually - well, 99 technicallyyyyyy. . . Okay I’m waiting for it to hit 100 but it might actually be a minute lol because I was looking at the clock and it was at like 40 seconds so- ope no the computer switched like half a minute ago as I was typing this lol I just wanted to finish typing, lol ANYWAY, 100 xDD), but, anyway lol.
Okay, so, first off, Grace and Judd (and Billy, obviously).
THEY ARE SO CUTE  😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Like literally I love them soo much 😭😭😭 xDD. Seriously though, we’ve once again revisited (grammar haha) the fact that Grace tries to do everything on her own. Well, maybe not everything, for example, she’s not trying to have this baby on her own lol (well, the actual birth sure, but xdd). I know that in Season 2 it talked about this in relation to the standards black women and other women of color are held to in today’s society, and I do think that’s very important to talk about, but I think I’ll let a few more of you talk about it more in-depth instead, seeing as I’m white xdd. I do get the pressure to want to do things on your own, though - I think that’s something a lot of people can relate to, no matter what their situation is. But, nonetheless, I thought the scenes of her and Judd were really cute, and I’m just glad they’re all okay :)). And I am so, So, SO, SOOO HAPPY THAT JUDD MADE IT FOR THE BIRTH :DDDDDDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 :D :D :D :D :D. It just- yes, it was wonderful.
Now. Owen. You know what I’m gonna say, methinks.
STOP 👏 MAKING 👏 EVERYTHING 👏 ABOUT 👏 YOU 👏!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Like, sure, I liked your sadness about TK (my BOYYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭), and I did like your comparison, just bc I know you were actually sad and really, really very scared, specifically for him and yourself, but nonetheless, it’s s t i l l  n o t  a l l  a b o u t  y o u. But I will let it slide this time, as it’s all in juxtaposition to TK.
And oh my gosh his hug to Carlos 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I thought I would literally lose my mind xddd XDDDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. And just- one more tear from Carlos, everyone being there, the comfort of that hug, Owen just finally seeing the pain of someone around him and CARING and helping him through it, I just- I can’t 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 xDD. I love them so, so much. Well, mostly Carlos, and TK if we’re including him here, but Owen’s aight. Lol, anyway, also Marjan having to find out 😭😭😭😭? Literally killed me. I mean, it really would have if we would’ve had to SEE it, but luckily we didn’t. Still kinda wish we did though xDD. And of course her being surprised about Paul - glad they assuaged her fears rather quickly, because she was still calm in that moment, I feel like - or at least in control of her emotions. Anyway, glad that we finally got to see the rest of them there with TK 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Or at least some of them anyway.
But! Yeah. I think you now what time it is. Time for. . .
T A R L O S !!!
You knew it had to be coming eventually xDD.
OKAY! So, as y’all well know if you follow me or follow what I’m doing here, like my posts, you know I LOVE Tarlos. I mean, I think most of us do xDD. And like- this episode 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Literally I can’t deal. I was stimming. SO. HARD. It’s been a long time since I’ve stimmed like that and- yeah, it was nice :). I REALLY wish I had the energy to say more about them right now. . . I’ll do a little more, but then I really have to go - I get up in 7 hours and I have most likely at least 30 minutes of school left lol. OKAY took a quick break but we back <3. I am definitely not letting this be the smallest, or even second biggest, section XDD. Anyway, yeah, I just- it was really lovely and wonderful to feel such feelings that I stimmed like that again, and it was really great <3. With a recent re-hyperfixation at some really epic parts I’ve been able to stim a little, like, naturally, but this is just a whole new/’nother level :). I was literally kicked my legs up in the air and flinging my arms around lol xD. Like, those legs were 90 degree angles because I was mostly lying down on the cough XD. I just- I love them so, so much. That final, well more like FINALLY, culminative I suppose, handholding and kissing and cuddling at the end 😭😭😭😭😭. Like, when TK woke up I mean - although obviously we’ll talk about the apartment and the ending-ending in a minute xDD. It was like, he was so worn down that as soon as he felt like it was okay to hold his hand, the dam broke for Carlos and he couldn’t handle not touching TK, being close to him, supporting him, loving him. I am, in short, VERY emotional 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭xdd. Just- 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I LOVE THEM. SO. M U C H. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. They are perfect (not literally) and- oh my gosh, Ronen and Rafa did SUCH 👏 A 👏 GOOD 👏 JOB 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!!!! I just- I love them so much. Later I will be posting my betting pool between me and the lovely @mas (yes I know that’s not your account/blog name lol I just don’t care <3 <3 <3 xDD) on why the broke up lol, or the whole situation in general - we were both pretty close 🤔!!!! Okay, real quick, just as a last thing or two here, the apartment: it is so beautiful. I really do hope we eventually get at least a little talk, a little on-screen explanation from TK on why he acted the way he did, and while personally I think it was a little much to break up, I also kinda get it. He’s not used to having nice things :’(((((( (I believe I saw someone else say something along those lines and it is %1,000 true in my opinion 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, if not all the time). I also saw someone say they honestly would’ve preferred if it was Carlos who had made the mistake, whether it was him or TK who actually did the breaking-up with, I believe, but honestly I don’t really care. I think we’ll see more mistakes from Carlos in the future (that was their reasoning), and while I don’t like the fact that TK has to make so many mistakes, he’s been through a lot and I feel like that was the only logical storyline to make the break up fit. Sure, do I wish they hadn’t ever broken up? Yeah! But also, kinda not. TV’s not perfect - in the wise words of Abed Nadir, “It needs to be okay for TV to take a sick day. Or phone in a day.” The show isn’t gonna be perfect - I agree with and acknowledge that. But, to me at least, it’s so very, very good <3. TK will keep making mistakes. So will Carlos. Hopefully, they won’t break up ever again - I really don’t think that’s likely, to be honest, luckily. I love them so, so much, and I think they’ll be okay.
Now, the ending party. Yes <3. I got a special little thrill and :’) of happiness at Mateo ringing the bell, because this is his first time entering that fire house, officially at least, as a full-fledged Fire Fighter. So proud of him <3 <3 <3 :’’’)))))))) 😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I just- I love him, I love them all :))))))). Also, yes, stan Paul and his new rich sponsor family <3 <3 <3 xDD. And yes, I was so happy that Gwyn was there 😭😭😭😭. Sure, TK, you may eventually have to admit - to her or to your therapist, I don’t know lol - that you saw her in your coma dream(scape), but for right now, I think it’s just good for you to see the real her :). She supported you through a hard time, and she’s hear to REALLY support you. You know, as a real person xD. And, support everyone of course, but mostly him, and Owen, I think :)). I mean, I know, but I’m sure she cares about the others too xdd. And TK’s little brother, her son 😭😭😭😭😭. I don’t remember his name, but I just- he is adorable. THEY are adorable - Gwyn with him, TK with him, whatever. Glad Owen wasn’t too weird or salty about it :’). Also having Baby Ryder (Charlie!!!!!! Love that so much 😭😭😭 :))) :’)) <3 <3 <3 <3 :pppppp :pp :pp :p) and Gwyn’s second son all (well, there’s two, but, you know, lol xD) around at the same time, it’s just fun and interesting :). Even if she and him (Gwyn and the kid) won’t be here too often, I assume :). And yes - quick note, again, CHARLIE IS SUCH AN AWESOME NAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. You mind your business, Evie (I believe it was her, lol xDD) - that’s a wonderful and kick-butt girl’s name 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. And it’s just so, so sweet 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 :’’’)))))))))))).
Anyway, that’s about it!
Overall: I absolutely loved this episode. I adored it. Owen wasn’t too bad, we got to see everyone at least a little bit, and the fire house is back up :). Maybe the ending was a bit quick, but honestly, it’s time that we move on from this storyline lol. It makes sense to wrap it all up right now :). Honestly, I was afraid it would end with a cliffhanger, or like, even if it happened offscreen, a kind of open ending, TK woke up and Tarlos is about to talk scene, but nOPE, we got much better :)). This was an amazing episode, so lovely, from Grace and Judd being amazing as always, to Billy, who was slightly less annoying than usual 🤔. You gotta admit he’s funny though, lol, xD. Ah, I love him. Well, maybe. Probably not as much as the rest of them, but I’m just in a happy mood right now XD. So yeah, I’ll love him :)). The team was adorable and loving, Tarlos hurt so much but ended happily, and it hurt in a good way, since it was amazing <3, Tommy might’ve finally forgiven herself for TK’s accident, :), Nancy helped Carlos open up a little bit, it wasn’t all about Owen, and little baby Charlie Ryder came into the world :)). And, of course, finally: The 126 Firehouse opened back up. Such an lovely ending. A great ending for an exciting episode arc :DD :D. I’m psyched to see more :)))))) 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I loved it <3. This was an amazing episode :’).
Sooooo, yeah!!
This was my review for. . .

Uh Oh (Sykkuno x F!Reader)
Oneshot (maybe part of a series??? idk we’ll see): The Prequel to “Impasta” in which reader meets the gang for the first time and experiences a betrayal. Mainly Friendship
Warning: non-beta, I wrote this in one go and full sent it. 
You were a small time Twitch streamer that had recently befriend a streamer with a much larger audience, ValkyRae.  You had been talking back and forth for quite some time, since Rae’s dm to you weeks ago. You were mainly an rp channel where you played games like GTA, The Sims, and Animal Crossing. Though you gained a lot of your followers from playing League, though it mostly consisted of hate-followers that would only critique your gaming, even though you were pretty good at it. But it doesn’t bother you too much *que sob*
You were streaming GTA on a RP server playing an amish girl on a Rumspringa and wreaking havoc. You and your ‘gang’ had successfully finished hitting a bank truck ,causing your character to rake in a few thousand dollars, when you got a message from Rae asking you if you had wanted to play a few rounds of the popular game among us. 
“Alright guys, a friend asked if I wanted to join her lobby of among us. I know it’s different from the stuff i usually stream, but is that something you guys would be cool with?” You asked your chat and watch an influx of people messaging ‘yes’ or ‘pog’. You take a sip of your Starbucks and picked up your phone to message Rae that you’ll be joining. “Fair warning, I’ve never played among us. So we’ll see how this goes, guys” 
While you waited to be invited to the discord and into the lobby, you chatted with your viewers for a bit. “I just realized that I’m really awkward around new people. Like when I’m playing on the GTA Rp Server, I’m not myself, I’m a character you know? So it’s easier to talk with other people, cause they’re also role playing. Plus I don’t think I can call anyone in the discord a musty dusty rat bitch lol or sell them drugs, it’s not that kind of game...unless?...” You laugh as you login to your discord and accept the invite to the discord “alright guys! here we go~”
You enter the discord call and hear people talking. 
“Y/N!” Rae exclaims “Guys this is my new friend y/n”
“Hi” Responding to the various voices greeting you
“OK, so the code is in the chat and so are the bubbles, so your chat can see who is talking and what not” Rae explains
You input the code and saw your little character in the space ship. “Oh god guys look at us!” You ran your little character around the ship “How do we change colors? I’m not feeling this blue and I saw Rae with her lil creepy mask”
You read your chat tell you what to do so you went to the little computer to change the blue to white and clicked through all the hats til you decided on the pink flower. “How about this guys? Yellow is my favorite color but its taken”
“Alright, you ready y/n?” Rae asked
“Yup” you respond by running circles around her character
“OK i’m starting. Don’t forget to mute and close chat. You can open it back up if your imposter or dead” Rae sang “Good luck~”
“Alright chat I gotta close you til the game is done? I guess” You hum as the words ‘crewmate’ pop up. “Well at least i’m not imposter, i know the game. I mean who hasn’t at this point. I just never played it, seems to be to nerve wracking”
You open the map icon and run to where the closet yellow exclamation point was, which was admin. You make sure to note all the colors around you in there as you swipe your card “Alright, green, yellow, brown,red, and orange” You repeated the colors over and over again as you make your way into electrical when you notice something “Ok uh green is following me? I don’t know why but its freaking me out.” The lights turn off and you start freaking out “Oh god, this is where I die. Don’t I? You know what do it. Kill me! It’s probably a good idea. I’m kind of an idiot and it’ll help me figure things out on my own without the pressure” You follow the arrow pointing to a panel and you click on it “What am i supposed to do? You know green, this would be the perfect opportunity to murder me in cold blood... is this how you do it?” You flip the switches so that they are all bright green and the lights turn on “YAS BITCH, I did it” 
The green character kind of just circles your body as you do tasks in electrical, you do download, wires, and power diverter. “Ok BUT WHY IS HE FOLLOWING ME!!” 
An orange body had been reported and that two others had died (bright green and pink) and the person who reported the body was black or as his name read ‘Abe’ “Ok, so this body was in admin on card swipe”
“Well this body couldn’t have been me or y/n” Sykkuno says “I was following her this entire time”
“Yea, I’d like to know why lol? You were kinda freaking me out dude” You laugh a bit trying to play off how nervous you were to call him out on it
“Oh No! I was protecting you” Sykkuno explains “I promise”
“Sykkuno? Are you already simping for someone?” Rae feigns exasperation 
“No really guys!” He explains nervously “The new person always dies first, so I was just trying to protect her.”
You hum and smile mischievously “Unless, your just trying to gain my trust only to murder me in coldblood in front of my bestie Rae, to prove your superiority over her!?!”
Rae gasps “Really Sykkuno!?! I’m voting you just for that!”
“Wah? No wait! It’s not like that really” Sykkuno starts laughing as Rae votes “Oh God did you really vote for me?”
“Yes” Rae says and you start laughing 
“So anyways, Leslie’s body is in admin?” Hafu says wanting to talk more about the body and get all the sus’s and clears
Though you gasp when you realized a few things “wait I have some info to share” teasing Sykkuno had loosened you up a bit “it was me,green,yellow,brown,red, and orange in admin. Then me and green, uh Syyykkkuunnoo? Sorry if i didn’t say your name right, left and went into electrical, then lights were called and I fixed them before finishing off my tasks in there. So the body must’ve died during lights unless she left and came back into admin after lights were fixed? which doesn’t make much sense, sooo yea” you smiled “look at me chat! being all smart and shit” 
“yes” Poki agrees “I left admin also with Rae just before lights were called”
“Ok, so I know that puts sus on me, but I went straight to lights when they were called” Hafu says “Someone on the right side must’ve vented when lights were off. Like I was entering the hallway from storage with Tina when lights got fixed and we went to reactor room together. So it couldn’t have been me. Maybe Tina? I dont know which way she come from, but it was not me”
“That is true. I did meet up with Hafu at storage, but I don’t know man” Tina says “ I was doing download in comms”
“Oh god” You tell chat “I don’t know whether to believe Hafu or not. I know she is really good, along with Toast, but he hasn’t said anything”
“Well it is seven and we don’t vote on seven, so we can skip. Just putting a sus on Hafu” Rae says
“Yes please do” Hafu says as she votes to skip
“Do we know where the other bodies are?” Poki asks as the seconds start to dwindle down to zero “Also Toast? Why are you so quiet?”
“I’m trying to figure out a new strat, so don’t you worry. I’ll catch the killers” Toast starts to evil laugh and that was the end of the meeting.
“Ok we’re susing Hafu for this.Though I don’t think it’s her only cause I remember watching one of her imposter plays and it would be a too obvious kill,since so many people were there, it just doesn’t make sense, so someone venting in and killing is plausible or could be a self report? I don’t know lol It’s my first game” You run with Sykkuno and finish up your tasks together. Though lights were called when you both were at shields, you can see the vent pop open and in your little vision bubble you see a flash of red “Whelp this is where I die, I’d like to rate Sykkuno an 8 out of 10 for protecting me, but obviously I am now died” True to your word Rae killed you and you saw Sykkuno running around like a headless chicken when he reports your body 
“Oh God! They got her when I was trying to protect her!” Sykkuno exclaims 
“Sykkuno! You were supposed to be protecting her!?” Rae shouts “What happened? Did you kill her in cold blood? hmm?”
“smh Rae, you murdered me right in front of Sykkuno” You sigh “Well chat looks like I’m dead and we can speak now”
“No!” Sykkuno denies “I said I was going to protect her. I wouldn’t kill her after saying that”
“Well she’s dead now Sykkuno! Where’s the body?” Toast dramatically says
“It’s in shields. It happened when lights were off” Sykkyno says “I’m sorry y/n, I couldn’t protect you”
“Aw that is so cute” You pout at his apology, it wasn’t his fault. It was dark, so obviously he couldn’t see
“Well I don’t think Sykkuno did this, He said he was protecting her to everyone, so I can say that he’s crew” Hafu says “I’m at light panel, I remember seeing Poki and Tina there”
“I can confirm this” Poki says “So Toast let’s hear your big brain play. What’s your strat?”
It was silent for a minute, before Toast admits that he doesn’t have one.
“Ok so we can all agree that Toast is the imposter right?” Rae says “Vote him outta here!”
“Yep” Tina agrees hitting that vote on him and many follow suit
“Wait guys! WAIT! I do! I do have a strat” Toast screams out “Uhhh... wires! The wires guys!”
“Lol they’re gunna vote him off” You watch people voting “Rae is probably gunna win this”
“Yea, you’ve done that pay before” Poki laughs
“Don’t worry I’ll skip Toast” Sykkuno says 
“Why would you skip if we’re on 6?” Rae asks “Is Toast your imposter buddy?”
“Wah? I said I was protecting y/n, why would I kill her?” Trying to make his innocence obvious 
“Unless you killed her by accident or Toast did and you’re trying to protect him like the Simp you are!” Rae accuses him
Tina starts to also question Sykkuno “Wait a second, I dont think I’ve seen you do a single task this entire game! You’ve just been following y/n all around! We should vote him off next!”
“Guys, I swear it’s not me, it just doesn’t make sense” You can hear him plead “Oh no guys, how did this get twisted? It’s Rae! But how did it go to thinking Sykkuno as imposter?”
The meeting ends with Toast screaming into the abyss as he is yeeted out with Sykkuno telling him that he voted to skip.
“Ok then chat, looks like the imposters are gunna win, lets talk for a bit” You sigh and start reading the comments “ I know that I didn’t talk much with them, but I’m just awkward in general and I don’t know what to say to them. This is the first time playing with a group like this where i’m supposed to be myself and not a character.”
The words Defeat appeared on screen and there was Hafu and Rae as imposter. “I honestly didn’t think it was Hafu”
“Hafu was that you that killed Leslie in admin? I didn’t think it was “You asked when you returned to the lobby
“NO! I got framed by my own partner” Hafu explains before taking her bathroom break
“How did Rae get that kill cause I was with her?” Poki asks
“I vented from Caf back into admin when lights were off” Rae laughs “and I vented into shields and killed y/n right in front of Sykkuno!”
“Im sorry for not being able to protect you” Sykkuno runs circles around my character “Next round I’ll do better! I promise”
You laugh and start chasing after him in the ship “What if you end up as imposter?”
“Then I’ll have to look away as my imposter buddy kills you” Sykkuno laughs behind his hand and clears his throat “Im joking, Im joking, I promise”
“Wow Sykkuno” You tsk and run over to the opposite side of the room “I don’t know if I want your protection services now”
“Uh” Sykkuno splutters “I’m joking I promise! I won’t kill you as imposter”
“Wait til Corpse hears you simping over someone else” Poki says before starting the game
“Wait Hafu is still in the bathroom!” Rae exclaimed, but it was to late to stop the game from starting, so she’ll have to jump in when she comes back. Though you swear you feel your heart jump out of your chest when the words Imposter read on you screen. The 1st of the night for you and another in a row for Hafu.
“Oh God guys. Hafu is in the bathroom, but she has to carry us” You start to panic “What we do we do!?! Wait is Sykkuno seriously gunna follow us? Should we kill him or would that be to obvious?” You see the chat tell you that it would be to obvious and that it would be better to maybe frame him, but it seems to mean to you “Should we kill someone in front of him? You know to test his loyalty? It’s a terrible idea”
Though before you go on to fake tasks, you see Sykkuno standing on top of Hafu’s body, so you also go ontop of Sykkuno’s and to the outside perspective you are protecting Hafu, but really for you it’s to ensure that your imposter partner is going to be walking around and killing people,once she comes back from the bathroom. It seems that Hafu is back from the bathroom as her yellow character starts making her way away from you both. You and Sykkuno make your way to admin when lights get called and Sykkuno starts to wiggle his body around into a corner. It seems as though he wants you to stack with him in a corner, but before you do you double back when you see a body pass by and kill them, though you start to laugh when you see your character kill Rae, before ‘stumbling’ into Sykkuno’s view in the corner. You both stay there as lights turn back on and go on card swipe. You think about juking Sykkuno, but realize that it’ll look sus on you for ditching him. So you two just walk around ‘completing’ tasks as every once in a while the lights would go off and you two will stack on each other or wait for doors to open which you had been closing alot of them. 
“Honestly guys I’m at a point were I just wanna murder someone in front of him” You start to evil laugh as you both stack in the corner of medbay as lights start turning on when a body got called
“It’s toast, it’s toast, it’s toast” Hafu chants as it was her who reported the body “I saw him kill Poki”
“oh she self reported” you note and click on Toast’s name but not locking in your vote just in case. You also noticed that four people had died “She killed three people!?! Wow she is beast in this game! Holy Shit guys”
“see, from my perspective it’s hafu. I didn’t see the kill, but I did see blood splatter and Hafu immediately reported the body and blamed me, so it has to be Hafu. I’m voting her” Toast explains and votes her
“no no no no no no no. I saw you kill her when lights got fixed.” Hafu describes her side and what she did in that round “ Ok guys I was afk for like the first 20 seconds and I see Sykkuno and y/n there standing on me in caf., and I’m just doing my tasks, which I finished by the way, so I’m just going back and forth going to cams and just walking around to find any dead bodies. So if you saw cams on in the last 30 or so seconds it was me. I’ve also been fixing lights too! Peter and Leslie should be able to vouch for me on that! But on this round of lights I’m making my way to go help fix them when i see blood flicker in my little bubble and as it starts to get bigger I see Toast walking away from it. Its Toast. It is 100% Toast.” She locks her vote on him “Vote him please. If you don’t vote then you’re either imposter or just throwing”
“I don’t know guys” You start and hover your mouse over the green checkmark next to Toast’s name “I’ve been with Sykkuno the entire round and we did guard Hafu’s body. For Hafu to say that she saw Toast kill, but toast didn’t see Hafu kill? It just doesnt make sense so I’m voting Toast” You lock your vote in when Hafu reminds everyone that crew has to vote together since it is on six. Reminding Peter and Leslie that Hafu has been fixing lights got their votes, but Sykkuno was hesitant “You know I can never vote Toast guys, but I have been with y/n this entire time and I know it’s not her. So, I’m sorry Toast but uh” He locks his vote in for either Hafu or Toast? Who knows if he’s simping over Toast hard.
“Sykkuno?” You can hear Toast tremble his voice “Sy-sykkuno? Who did you vote for? Sykkuno!?!?! Do- Don’t tell me...did you really vote me?”
“I uh “ He clears his throat as the votes get out and all of us had voted Toast 
Toast gasps “Sykkuno!?! How could you!?!?!”
“I’m sorry! I just trust y/n!” Sykkuno explains as Toast’s body once again gets yeeted out into space. 
“Wow guys, looks like we’re gunna win our first imposter game!” You wiggle around happily “and we literally did nothing...wait we killed Rae! We got our revenge from the last round mwua hahahahaha”
Sykkuno and I run circles around each other before walking back into medbay. You can see Hafu kind of trailing behind and the doors get locked with us three in it, but Hafu is just standing there. “Chat what is Hafu doing? Why is she just standing there” You can see Sykkuno step on the med scan “Wait she wants ME to kill SYKKUNO! Oh god that is so evil lol but i’m so useless as imposter, so I might as well get in at least 25% of the kills” 
Once Sykkuno steps off you just murder him and you see that you had won.
“I- I can’t believe you just killed me!?! I trusted you y/n” Sykkuno exclaims
“Sykkuno” Rae sighs “she KILLED ME in caf! Why did no one NOT SEE MY CHOPPED BODY IN CAF!”
You just laugh “I’m sorry Sykkuno, but my chat was telling me that Hafu wanted me to kill you”
“Yea, cause I did like all of the kills and sabotages” Hafu recounts who and how she killed 
“Sykkuno, you giant simp. I can’t believe you vote me” Toast tsk’ed 
“I can’t believe y/n was the imposter! and she killed me!” Sykkuno shakes his head “you know what i’m no longer protecting you anymore”
“Wait Sykkuno I’m sorry. Really” You giggle 
“No no no it’s ok, it’s all part of the game” Sykkuno reassure you that he is not actually mad and that he hoped you had fun “But i wont be protecting you from now on, I have scars now”
So, you play a few more games before calling it quits and end your stream. Later on, you find that Sykkuno started following you on Twitter and Instagram, You totally did not stalk both of his pages and you totally don’t think that he’s cute.....
SideNote: You totally murdered someone in front of Sykkuno and he totally didn’t snitch on you. Instead he protected you as you ran around killing more people in front of him and like the giant Simp he is he totally went ‘I neva snitch on you Daddy, I hold a brick for you Daddy’.

YALL WHAT SHOULD I WRITE FIRST
Okay!! so both of these are coming at some point!! i have some requests i’ve been working on and i’ve also been working on my original novel (that i hope to get published one day) but i really want to start working on one of my fairytale retellings/AUs(technically not more AU than a regular fic lol)/whatever you want to call them. 
But i can’t pick which one to do first!! 
- Beauty and the Beast retelling 
-Darkling/General Kirigan x reader currently,, but i’m willing to listen to arguments for making this more SOC based and Kaz Brekker x reader, but i think the beauty and the beast theme works better for more SAB based story
- currently focuses on the reader agreeing to take someone’s place as General Kirigan’s prisoner/someone that has to work for him
- I think the plot is going to focus on the reader being a powerful grisha which is part of the reason he took her (like a strong heartrender that can manipulate emotions really precisely,, still unsure if i’d rather her be just human) 
- the reader is low key really impressed with the Little Palace bc she grew up in poverty but she’s trying really hard not to be 
- the (slight) AU part is that Kirigan needs someone of ‘pure heart’ to fall for the person beneath the darkness to unlock more power than ever bc of an ancient curse  (and the person of ‘pure heart’ is the reader bc she has no ulterior motive to like him)
- but then he’s like!! i like her--oh no i like her 
- i see Genya as mrs potts lowkey like she knows that Kirigan wants to win the reader’s love and she’s like trying to help lol 
- Alina lowkey hyping up their connection 
- Reader being all sunshiney and a sweetheart who is literally immune to Kirigan’s angst 
- enemies to lovers excellence 
- jealous kirigan,, jealous kirigan,,, jealous kirigan 
- protective boyfriend vibes wayyy before they start dating lmao 
- honestly a lot of acting cute together but still being like ‘i hate u’ 
- Anastasia retelling 
- Kaz Brekker x reader
-  based lowkey more on the musical than the disney movie (the only real difference in the musical is that someone thinks about killing Anastasia for the Russian revolution)
- the plot would focus on the return of annual rumors of a princess that might have survived a massacre at the palace 
- i would create my own country in the grishaverse for the reader to be the princess of so that i can give it the history i need for my story 
- so you know how in Anastasia Dimitri worked at the palace and he saved Anastasia?? my idea for this one is that the Dregs were hired to kill the royal family that the reader is a part of and bc of what he considers a lapse of judgement, Kaz helps the reader escape bc she was the youngest there and they had an interaction that like tugged at him
- anywayssss.... fast forward years later and Kaz is as hardened as he is in the SOC books, he thinks that the princess he helped died anyways bc he saw her run off in the wrong direction
- but!! the princess’s royal grandmother is still looking for her and this year she’s offering more kruge than ever for the return of her missing granddaughter
- Kaz runs into the reader after she tries to pickpocket him and when he realizes that she’s an orphan that looks enough like Anastasia (same hair color, same eye color, etc) with amnesia he’s like ‘it’s perfect’ 
- the reader is like ?? i don’t know any royal traditions or anything about the royal family,, and also im indentured to this guy who is not going to like this
- and Kaz is like don’t worry about that guy 
- the reader is like ?? don’t worry--
- and he’s like yeahh,, i’ll pull some strings (he’s not really pulling strings, he’s paying for her time but he would never tell the reader that bc it makes her seem valuable and no one wants their time ‘purchased’)
- and then princess training starts!! the reader has to study on family history through textbooks but she still has like no formal etiquette skills and Kaz is like ‘i have a merchling that was part of high society, he can teach you table manners’ 
- Wylan is like you have a what now?? and Kaz is like shut up
- the reader agrees obviously bc Kaz is like i could kill you,, you did try to steal from me, but he’s also like ‘if you’re made a princess you can pay off your indenture and the indentures of your friends’ 
- lots of the crows being best friends with the reader in this one 
- the reader is a gifted medic but touching blood makes her feel ill bc of trauma 
- im thinking of making her a tailor to explain why she brought in so much money for the people she worked for (because she could make herself look like anyone’s type) but im thinking that subplot might complicate things but i do want her to be grisha so maybe a squaller?? idk 
- throughout the story im going to have Kaz think about how he lowkey regrets letting the girl go at the beginning bc it’s an unfinished job technically and bc the family was evil and they did bad by their people 
- reader realizes that she’s been romanticizing this family and that theyre actually bad and she’d rather just stay with the crows 
- kaz realizes he wants the reader to stay 
- both being too prideful to say anything until the reader is like ‘screw it’ but before she can tell kaz (the night before her coronation) kaz is like pls tell me you don’t think you’re her and the reader is like i said i wouldn’t lie to you
- and kaz is genuinely considering killing her to like finish what was started and bc he really hates that family (i’ll explain why he hates the family in the fic lol)
- enemies to lovers bc it’s my favorite,,
-  a lot of everyone being confused on how the reader is allowed to get away with half the stuff kaz allows and then whenever anyone is like YALL ARE ACTING LIKE A COUPLE the reader is like ??this is just how i act? and everyones like YEAH BUT KAZ DOESNT LET PEOPLE ACT LIKE THAT 
- and kaz is like i literally dont know what ur talking about i yelled at her this morning,, i promise i did, it’s not my fault u didn’t see it--i totally yelle--
--
yall i lowkey want to write both of these NOW but i need to learn impulse control pls,, help lol
AND I DIDNT EVEN TELL YALL ABOUT MY TANGLED  OR HADES&PERSEPHONE RETELLING IDEAS MUAHAHAHA PLS SOMEONE MAKE ME STOP IM SUCH A SIMP FOR RETELLINGS

Hi I have a Rafe request if that’s ok. Maybe him and Y/n got into a stupid fight about something petty so they haven’t been talking, and maybe later she faints from dehydration or something. Her and Rafe still haven’t spoken but he’s on her emergency contacts so he gets a call from the hospital thinking something really bad happened to her and he panics. Maybe she’s still unconscious when he gets there and she wakes up to him in her hospital room. Idk I just need simp Rafe because your work is amazing 💛💛
omg yes ofc!!
SIMP- RAFE CAMERON
TW: swearing, mention of drug usage, hospital, little bit of angst but FLUFFFFFFFFfff
“can you stop yelling and listen for a fucking second?” Y/N was steamed to say the least, her and her boyfriend of a little over a year, Rafe, had gotten to a heated argument about his drug usage
“you’re not my mother, I’m an adult. You can’t tell me what to do”
“well you’re hurting me when you hurt yourself like this. everytime you go out to snort some shitty coke, you’re not only killing you but you’re killing me” Y/N fights tears threatening to escape her Y/E/C eyes. “you’re just so fucking selfish”
Y/N had enough, she grabbed her jean jacket off her strictly reserved dining room chair, and walked outside into the brisk early autumn air
“where are you going?” the anger once prominent in Rafe’s voice was no where to be found in his sweet question
without hesitation, Y/N answers his question bluntly “out”
she closes the door behind her, leaving Rafe all alone in the kitchen
a few hours later
hello?” Rafe answers the phone groggily after he fell asleep on the sofa watching The Master’s golf tournament
“is this Rafe Cameron?”
“yes?”
“This is Carly, I’m a nurse at The Outer Banks Hospital over in Nags Head. I wanted to call to let you know that Y/N L/N is in the ER and you’re her emergency contact so I needed to give you a call.”
“oh my god, is she okay? tell me she’s okay”
“sir, she’s fine, she passed out due to dehydration while out on a jog or a walk it seems. She’ll be fine. If she wakes up before you get here should I let her know you’re on your way?”
“Absolutely, thank you for calling. I’m leaving right now”
Rafe grabs his khaki colored Ralph Lauren windbreaker and Ray Bans before heading outside to the jeep parked in the cobblestone driveway
his grip on the steering wheel is tight, making his knuckles turn ghost white as Rafe swerves in and out of traffic jams trying to make it to Y/N in the hospital as fast as possible.
“where is she?” Rafe asks the receptionist “I’m looking for Y/N L/N. They said she’s here”
“room 208 sir” the woman looks him up and down as he runs a hand through his hair “down the hall on the left”
“thank you, thank you”
Rafe finds 208 and opens the door to see Y/N in a blue hospital gown, her body covered in a white blanket. Two pillows hold her sleeping head, helping her get the rest she needs.
he looks around the room to notice an IV stand in between the bed and the television. Rafe takes a seat and starts looking through a few tabloid magazines to entertain himself as he waits for Y/N to wake up.
A nurse comes in to take vitals and to reassure him that she’ll be up soon
Before he knows it, Rafe is leaning back in his chair and dozing off- finishing his nap from earlier.
“rafey”
his eyes open to see a groggy Y/N smiling softly in her bed
“hey baby, you you feeling?” Rafe practically jumps up from the seat and over to Y/N’s side, already starting to play with her hair
“i’m good, feeling better”
the door opens, disturbing the couple’s little moment
“oh I hope I’m not interrupting anything” the middle aged nurse says as she walks into the room anyways “youre up! would you like some apple juice hun? some water or a popsicle?”
“I’ll take an apple juice please” Y/N smiles up at the nurse before looking over to Rafe “you want anything baby?”
“I’m all good, thanks though” he smiles a tight lipped awkward smile as he nods his head towards the nurse
within a minute, she’s back with an apple juice box ready for Y/N
she leaves again, leaving the young couple alone in the room once again
“you can come lay with me if you want” Y/N says, stabbing the straw into the juice box unsuccessfully
“baby you need your rest, I don’t want to be on top of you” Rafe says as Y/N passes the juice box to the boy for him to put the straw in for her
she takes the juice back from the charming boy and looks up at him as she sips on the straw “I don’t care about my rest, I want you to come lay with me”
“what’s next, the avengers are gonna show up and visit you at your bedside?”
“shut up” Y/N laughs as Rafe makes himself comfortable, wrapping himself around her body “are you still mad at me?” Y/N gives Rafe her puppy dog eyes as she continues to sip on her juce
“how could I ever be mad at you when you look at me like that”
“you’re such a simp”
“only for you”
“that’s disgusting” Y/N lightly shoves him away “quite embarrassing for you”
Rafe smirks, rolling his eyes
“but I love you anyways, even though you’re a loser”
“I love you more” Rafe says, kissing Y/N on her nose
I kinda completely switched it up like he was canon/ asswipe rafe in the beginning but by the time he got to her he rlly switched up on us lol anywayssss I hope u liked it i literally wrote this all today instead of doing hw cuz senioritis is hitting hard and its the FIRST DAY BACK FROM FEB VACATION SO UM RIP

Hi ^^
First of all – your Art is INCREDIBLE!!!
I especially love your use of colors and textures :) Everything is so bright and colorful, but still cohesive. And your images are so clear without being overly detailed! It’s all literally perfection!!!
I like to draw digitally as well and your art-style is a huge inspiration for me. So I wanted to ask if you have any work in progress videos or pictures? Or if you could explain your process in general? Like, are you using a sketch layer underneath, with how many layers are you normally working, what kind of brushes do you use or any tips overall to improve digital painting?
Of course you don’t have to answer this (kinda a lot of questions, sorry 😅 ). Just know that I adore your art and that you’re helping me on my own art-journey just by sharing your work with the world – so, thank you!!! <3
Hey!! So first of all thank you so much for everthing you said about my art, I really appreciate it! But also omg thank youuu for this amazing ask like this is for real the kind of ask I've always wanted to get, where a total stranger is interested in my process XD So yeah don't worry about asking a lot of questions, they were great and I loved them!
Also I'm super flattered that my art has inspired you in your own digital art journey and I hope the stuff I say here can also help somewhat! This will get pretty long so sorry in advance everyone for making you scroll so much cause for some reason the read more option doesn't work on mobile :/
But anyway to answer your questions!
Sadly I don't have videos but I do have some pics I'll share. This is actually my second attempt at answering this because before I was going to use some WIP pics of the Majid drawing as example but then I didn't want to because it was in black and white and color is kind of one of the main things I like to emphasize in my art so I wanted to talk about it in the example XD Then I started a couple new drawings and was taking pics of those but I got super artblocked, but luckily I just finished one out of the blue that I can use. Okay so... I started answering this, again, and it was getting way too long and rambly so I'm gonna try to keep it simple this time and maybe I can elaborate more another time if you're still interested/ if anyone else wants know X'D
My process in general: I always start by making a simple basic background to work on, just fill it in and add some blotches of color. Then on a new layer I just start painting the subject, no sketch, so again just laying down some colors (I usually take whatever color in the bg is closest to skin tone and adjust the new color from there) and I just start blocking some shapes in aproximately the right places to start defining where things will be and how they fit together and just go from there. It's hard to explain it more cause that's kinda it, I just paint until things look like they're supposed to or at least visually appealing enough XD I add or adjust whatever colors seem necessary along the way (in this particular drawing I left the darker values until way too late which I don't recommend) and just refine and refine and refine things and add as many or as few details as I feel like, working on everything simmultaneously bit by bit.
Layers: like I mentioned before there's no sketch, and I try to use as few layers as possible so usually I'll have about 3-5. One for the basic background, one to three (though sometimes I merge them) additional layers for more background effects/colors/value fixes that I usually add later in the process, and I try to have just one for the subject. Sometimes I have one or two more if I'm feeling too hesitant but I always merge them in the end.
Brushes: I only use one brush at 50% opacity the whole time for everything. It's a squarish/rectangular brush that has some sort of jagged edges and a bit of a watercolory texture.
Tips: so this part is especially hard cause like.. I feel like any tips I could give are only applicable to drawing portraits and even then it'd be for doing it in the particular way that I prefer.. Like for example I could say it's best to work on every area at the same time and never spend too long one thing before moving on to the next but.. some people actually prefer finishing the eyes completely before moving on to the nose for example you know? So honestly the main thing I'll say is kinda to just experiment with a lot of methods and styles and see what works or doesn't work for you. Something that I think always helped me a lot was watching speedpaints of people who were more skilled than me and had a distinct style, just literally watch how they did their thing and every once in a while I might notice something I'd be interested in trying for myself and yeah with practice and experience you just kinda figure out what kind of things you not only like seeing but actually want in your own art. Like years ago I used to sketch but then I saw enough videos of people painting without sketching that I wanted to try it and I realized it's just more fun and makes more sense to me that way. So yeah try lots of different things and see what works for you and what you want to incorporate into your own art style!
Some more standard digital art tips I could give I guess are like.. the thing I said about not spending too much time on just one area (if it applies to your prefered process XD). Flip the drawing every now and then to catch stuff that's off. Stay zoomed out as much as possible and when you do zoom in for details always keep an eye on how the bigger picture's looking. Take your time finding or arranging a good reference pic that really inspires you cause it'll save you time and frustration later. And aaa idk I could say more but I don't think it's that informative or helpful, and all of this is probably really basic obvious stuff anyway and this is long enough as it is so yeah I'll leave it there...
I hope any of this can help in some way or that I've at least answered your questions in a satisfying enough way haha And finally here are some of the WIP pics I took. Where you can see some parts of the process. I did a lot more after that last pic but yeah at that point it's just about fixing little things, refining and adding details, but there you can see the color adjustment thing I usually do as the very last step (though not for this pic). I don't always have to do it, and there are probably times when I shouldn't, but I almost always like to do it anyway and that's why my colors look so exaggerated and bright XD I usually make the midtones more red and/or magenta, the shadows more blue, and the highlights more yellow (and sometimes a bit cyan) but if you wanna try something like that it's definitely fun to experiment with the different color possibilities ;u;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yeah that's it for now! I'm sorry this is so long, and this was the short version lol I hope you like the answers at least a fraction of how much I loved the questions X'D

Idk if I'll ever draw the Gueira and Meis prequel story comic I have in my head but here have snippets I wrote of it and tell me if it's any good lol
uh warning its kinda long, three separate moments and not written like a book as I am more so plotting out how I’d draw it or envision things. Also has a lot of Gueira crying. Like he’s always crying. I’m sorry Gueira.
Meis grumbles and ups the volume on their music. Staring into their mirror, make up dark and black and bad. Angry singing along with a brush comb and then using the same comb to tease at their hair violently. Hair visibly comes out. Their bedroom window bursts open due to the wind. Meis jumps, startled.
The dust storm is rolling by hard and Meis notices the stable door open in the backyard. Their eyes go wide and quickly climb out their bedroom window running towards it.
(Continue in color)
Meis runs inside the stable closing the doors behind them and the storm gets worse. They glance around and count three horses, Ophelia is outside of her stall yet everything else seems fine. They sigh with relief. Meis walk over to Ophelia. "Did you open the doors again cause you were nervous?" Meis pats the horse's nose. Their hand leaves a dust print on the horse. Meis crouches down to look at themselves in a mirror nearby thats leaning on the floor.
Meis is covered in dust and their hair and make up all messed up. They grumble a bit and smudge their eyeliner down their cheek.
Through the mirror Meis sees a foot from behind them poking out of a hay stack.
Meis bolts up. Their first instinct is to kick the hay, hard.
Gueira screams. Followed by Meis screaming. Every single horse starts acting up.
They both are screaming at eachother at the same time.
Meis, "Who are you?! How'd you get here? Get ya fuck out of here!!"
Gueira, "Wait! Wait! Please don't kill me! I can't stand up! They kidnapped me! I had no where to go!"
Ophelia is pushing herself to get in front of Meis. Meis steps aside and the horse goes right for Gueira. Gueira lights his hands on fire and reaches out, "Please no!" Ophelia panics backwards. Meis gets in front of her this time. Gueira's still lying on the floor with his hands aflame, he doesn't attack.
"You’re fuckin’ Burnish! You stupid Burnish! Everything here is flammable don't even fuckin’ dare!" Meis screams and suddenly Gueira has a bucket of liquid tossed on him. His flames don't go out but are duller. He hugs his legs to himself and the light glow of flames surround his body. "I'm.. I'm not in control of this. But I.. won't.. I won't burn the place down.." he stumbles over his words as his body shakes.
Meis stops and takes a better look at Gueira and sees how distressed he is. They calm down Ophelia then look back towards Gueira.
"You're just a kid."
Gueira sniffles, “I’m not a kid!” The flames brighten.
“How old are you?”
“Just turned 16.″
“Thats a toddler. How’d a toddler get into my backyard?”
“I don’t need this from someone looking like that!” Gueira motions to Meis, still covered in dust, half teased hair, shirt torn and barely on and smeared make up. “How old are you?!”
“Gonna be 17 in two weeks.”
“Also toddler!” Gueira points and grins at Meis, his flames disappear for a moment.
“I’m pretty much an adult!” Meis waves their hands in the air. Then stomps a foot towards Gueira. “And you still haven’t answered me!” Ophelia acts up again as Meis is yelling again. Gueira recedes back, nervous.
“Please don’t call Freeze Force on me..” Gueira hugs his legs and hides his face.
“You’re in the wrong place then kid. My pa is training in Freeze Force.”
Gueira’s head shoots up, eyes wide.
Meis plops a seat down next to him. “I’ll hide you for the night though.” Meis leans their arm on their knee and rests their head on their arm. Eyeing Gueira carefully.
Gueira stares at Meis, tears forming but trying not to cry again. “Seriously?”
“I’m not gonna call the feds on a kid.” Meis pulls the nearby mirror close and starts fixing themselves up. “You're lucky my pa didn't catch ya, you'dve been swiss cheese.”
Gueira hides his face into his legs and arms again. “Can you just help me get home.. I don’t recognize any of this place.”
“Sure. Probably for the best you head out after the storm. It gets extra hot after a sandstorm passes ‘round here, even at night. Where you live?”
“Uh, near the Liberty apartments.. maybe you could just point me to a bus or I could hitch hike.. somehow.” Gueira is talking into his arms.
“...I don’t know of that apartment building. Most places near here are just horse people’s homes.”
“...horses?” Gueira’s head peeks out.
Meis points at Ophelia. “That?”
“I know what a horse is!” He glares at Meis. His expression softens as he looks down towards the foor. “Am I not in Miami?”
“Miami?” Meis stops what theyre doing and whip their head towards Gueira.
“Yeah!” Gueira looks happy.
“You mean like Florida?” Meis’ expression is really confused.
“Yeah?” Gueira looks concerned.
“You’re in Texas, kid.” Meis finishes fixes themselves up and pushed the mirror away. Gueira is silent for a moment.
“...how?” Gueira looks back at the ground again.
“I should be asking you that.” Meis pulls out a cigarette and lights it. “You ran from the Foundation real far you got lost, huh?” Meis takes a drag and doesn’t look too concerned till suddenly Gueira’s shaking again. Meis lowers his cigarette. “What.. happened to you, kid?”
Gueira squeezes hard on his own legs. “They...they just bagged my head and threw me in a van. I didn’t know where they were taking me. They talked about the other city states but.. but how'd I get into the middle of the Burnish desert lands..”
Meis frowns. “We’re not in the middle of the Burnish desert lands. we’re in  human civilization.”
Gueira starts crying again and leans back towards the hay. His flames grow. Meis panics and grabs Gueira away from the haystack. 
“Can you stop that!” Meis grips onto Gueira’s shoulders. “You are surrounded by tinder!”
“I won’t burn things! I swear!” Gueira yells back at Meis through his tears.
“You’re currently on fire!”
“And you’re not burnt are you!?” Gueira screams it this time. Flames spark off him. Yet Meis is still unharmed. Meis finally notices how they’re grabbing Gueira and the flames are on their arms as well. 
“See!” Gueira grabs Meis’ hands. “I’m not some monster, please. I’m just... just a kid.. like you said.” Gueira stutters through tears more. Lets go of Meis’ hand and falls backwards into the hay. The hay is unaffected as the flames around Gueira’s body persist. Gueira goes back to hugging his knees and crying. “Please don’t turn me in.. I just.. I didn’t want this.. I..”
“Okay, Okay hey!”, Meis moves towards Gueira. They hesitate reaching out towards him. Then Meis touches Gueira’s shoulder again. They take a moment to register how the flames aren’t hurting. Gueira’s still crying and hiding his face. Meis then grabs Gueira’s other shoulder and pulls him into a hug. Gueira’s surprised. 
“I’m not turning you in. I promise, okay. You can stay here as long as you need.” the focus is on Gueira’s face as his scared eyes soften and he hugs Meis back, tightening his grip and starts sobbing into Meis’ arms.
---------
Both of them are laying on the stable floor, smoking lazily. Meis is letting Ophelia nibble at their hair.
Gueira takes a drag on his cigarette and coughs it up violently. Meis laughs a little. Gueira huffs, "You know,” cough “I always thought it funny how my parents can.." .....he sighs....  "..could look at me and not see I'm gay."
Meis ignores the hidden implications in Gueira's words. "Heh. My family sees me all the time looking like this and still thinks I'm a cis male."
Gueira shifts to face Meis and takes another drag of his cigarette, blows out smoke properly. Meis looks a little proud. "Yeah but you don't know what you are anyway." Gueira picks Meis' hair out of Ophelia's mouth.
Meis ponders a moment.
"I'm.. I'm an unlit match in a haystack. Full of potential to destroy it all but stifled and buried alive."
Gueira raises an eyebrow "Poetic. Is that a song lyrics of yours?"
Meis laughs, "Hoho-noooo. You think I'm that kind of song writer?"
"It's just... if you keep talking like that you'll catch the Burnish from me." Gueira snickers and puts out his cigarette on the barn floor.
Meis smiles falters, "I always thought those things weren't human. I mean.. not that you're a thing. Or not human.." Meis turns to Gueira now. "You can't catch the Burnish.. right??"
Gueira smirks "Come closer and find out for yourself."
Meis flicks Gueira's nose.
"Oooowwwwwwyyeeeee"
Meis puts out their cigarette and stands up, dusting off themselves. "I better get back before Pa comes pounding on the barn door looking for me." Meis kisses Ophelia on the nose and pats Guiera's head, ruffling his hair. Gueira doesn't bother to fix his hair and mutters under his breathe "fuck that guy"
Meis pulls a match out of their pocket and flicks it into a nearby haystack. Gueira rolls his eyes at the gesture, unamused.
---------
Gueira's talking fast and stifling sobs. "It's so lonely and so crowded. It's feels like my head is inside a fire. Numbing and loud. These voices just talk constantly, scream at me to burn. Burn. Burn. Burn. They’re real. They’re my thoughts. But I don’t like them. And I don’t want them to be real.. I.. I understand why the Foundation wants me. But what do they want with me.. why did they choose me. They make me want to burn you alive, Meis." He sniffs and Meis seems unfazed at the concept.
" ..just consume you.. in all of this fire.. all the flames in me."
Meis reaches out to grab Gueira's hand. They're both still not looking at each other. Just staring at the barn on the floor.
"I'm an unlit match in a haystack, Guiera. Maybe I just need to be set aflame."
Gueira starts crying harder. "You don't want this.. you really fucking don't."
Meis drops Gueira's hand and grabs his face to look at him sternly. They’re both facing each other now. "You don't speak for me. I could be a Burnish!"
Between sobs "You don't need this."
"Burn."
"Stop it"
"Burn for me Guiera."
"Shut up"
"Burn me alive"
Gueira pushes away and stands up. "Stop it! Stop it! You don't want this! You don't need this burden! It's useless! It's just trouble! It's just crying and running away and ..and.. I could get you snatched up and killed! Why do you even care about me!!"
Meis slowly stands up. "So we're not talking about the fire anymore, huh?"
Gueira's tears are little fires. He's shaking and trying to hold himself by wrapping his arms around his body in a grip. Legs wobbly and feet shifting to try and stay standing up. Meis doesn't approach him. A gentle smile appears on their face and they reach out a hand.
"Burn."
Gueira closes his eyes tight and suddenly bursts into flames. The flames stay around Gueira’s body and don’t spread.
“Breathe in the fire for me, Gueira!” Meis holds out their arms. “Burn properly!”
“It burns my throat!”
“Scream!”
“I can’t! I’ll really explode!” Gueira opens his eyes to look at Meis. Meis looks excited.
"Burn this whole barn down!" Meis’ eyes are wide and is grinning big. 
"You're losing it too now. You're not even Burnish and you're a pyromaniac." Gueira looks concerned for Meis.
"You think I care about this place?" Meis’ laugh is almost evil.
"You care about Ophelia! I'm not gonna burn her house down just cause I'm being whiney and having a break down! You sound like them. Don’t make the voices in my head external! You shouldn’t encourage this!” Gueira’s yelling and the flames aren’t stopping. His hands are in fists and close to his chest, holding back.
Meis walks up to Gueira and puts a hand on his cheek. Their voice is calmer now. “You need to actually let it all out. You need to burn or it’s all going to eat you up inside. Just scream and burn all your fears away.”
Gueira’s eyes shut tight. His hands open up and to his sides as flames burst around him. Two flame like horns are above his head. He screams. His eyes are enflamed and he glares at Meis, smacking Meis’ hand off his face. 
“You want fire?!” Gueira practically growls and smoke comes out his mouth. Meis is smiling big. “I hate you Meis. I can’t stand this fucking barn. I smell of horse shit.” He’s throwing flames with every sentence. Meis doesn’t move away still. Gueira’s anger starts leaning into his sadness. “I can't just be lazy around here forever on you. Just because I'm scared. Just because I’m so fucking scared!” Gueira roars flames. “I always felt so fucking useless and lazy. I was always a burden on somebody. And I ruined everything for my family, their hopes, their dreams, all their money went to their goddamn useless hospital child. I ruined everything for them! I ruined my own dreams! I can’t even kick a fucking football!” Gueira’s sobbing. “I already lost everything. I can't.. I can't even have you, Meis. When I know this will all be lost too."
