#...does this go in my fancy comics tag. it kinda does
Text
You know what, I assume that people always read my pinned, or notice the pointer "new reader? start here" in every new Fragments' episode. I might be deluding myself. So hi hello lemme TALK ABOUT MY COMIC.
Before I get too rambly (and I mean RAMBLY), here's a quick intro. Fragments is a comic focused on feels and slice of life, made by a queer guy, aiming to ~character study~ the main cast (Vivi, Raha, Alisaie, Feo Ul) and fill in the gaps in canon (or linger in canon moments that needed more air imo), the tone ranging from angst to fluff to meme. Good punches require a good windup, so please don't expect angst anytime soon :3c
The story's segmented (fragmented, heh) into episodes. Episodes 1-11 take place in ARR, you can enjoy them with no worry about spoilers. Episode 12 onward is ShB, with all the spoilers and lorebending.
My storytelling style assumes you haven't only played through ShB, but know it like the back of your hand, i.e. it's for nerds and thinkers. Of course there's plenty of silly moments that don't require any deep knowledge, but the overarching story does. Often I skip canon events, only hinting that they took place, simply because I don't wanna retell the msq 1:1, I've got plenty of original scenes waiting to be drawn. You're in for a treat if you like obsessing over emotional and moral implications of things. And, yes, this's a story about a morally grey mc. Don't expect to be spoon-fed "and this's why that thing's bad, kids".
Currently I've outlined all the main story beats up until post EW, so it's like, not being winged as I go. Yes I refine things here and there, but I know where I'm going. I'm going ham!!!! With the lorebending post ShB. Initially I didn't plan to, but the more I learned about Vivi and personally grew as a writer, the more courage I got to "divorce" from canon. The general xiv story may still be good wherever it's headed, but it's not suited for an established wolgraha, so I'm making food for myself.
Everyone imagines the lil scenes from their wol's life, I'm taking that a tiiiiiny step further. Fragments tells a cohesive story that's looking to be the longest project at least in our corner. I can and will hyperfixate on this for years.
I started out just like many others, being hit with ShB like a truck, I wanted to put a catboy under a microscope and rotate him forever. Although I'd already been drawing for decades, I didn't have the comic-making skills yet, or eloquence to write the dialogue, so I spent the first half of 2022 self-studying, just because I needed a mouth to be able to scream about my ship.
Vivi didn't exist prior to my obsession with Exarch. He was made for this, he started out as a reagent (or a foil, now that I know fancy writing terms) for a rich and fun chemistry, and keep myself entertained for years, first and foremost.
Me, a fool: okay let's make a guy that falls in love with Exarch in this particular moment, what kinda life must he have led to-
Me: ....oh no
The chemistry quickly bubbled up and exploded in my face, involving not only Exarch, but other characters (first as a means to subtly tell about Vivi, then they also demanded their own screentime), and here I am, sitting with a massive script on my hands, drawing my blorbos every day. Thanks for enabling that btw.
I care about characters a lot. I ask a lot of whys and hows. I'm critical-minded and burned on many bad stories that did their characters dirty, and I wanna be an opposing example. What I'm doing is extremely ambitious and risky, yes, but I can only invite you to tag along and see if I stick to my word.
The internet's a cruel and unforgiving place nowadays, and here I am, pitting my passion against what feels like decaying humanity. I'm making this comic to keep myself happy above all else, being sincere and cringe because life's too short to be anything else.
Thanks for reading this, and if you haven't yet, read Fragments here!

20 question writer meme!! Tagged by @jaggededges123
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
I have 122!
2. What’s your total ao3 word count?
239,332. :D a lot more then I thought!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
So I’m a “i write what I fancy” BUT my top fandoms I’ve written for are MDZS,Nope, Good Omens, and Danganronpa (if combined all my fics of each series together). My current fandom I’m writing for is Team Fortress Two where I have too many wips 😂
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Kidnapped? Rescued? Lies or Truth? - Svsss, 500 on the dot, Shen Jiu/Tianlang-Jun, Not rated
Can Peacocks Swim? - MDZS, under 1k, Jin Zixuan/Wei Wuxian, Teen
Talk Dirty To Me (In that Unnatural Voice of Your’s)- Scream, under 1k, Billy/Stu, Mature
Crowley is a very bad demon who does terrible things. Like take care of a bunch of orphans. - Good Omens, 3k, Teen
A Mark Without Pain- TGCF, under 1k, Qi Rong/Lang Qianqiu, Mature
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Almost always! Unless a comment makes me uncomfortable I try to respond to everything! Ive recently got some “more” comments that I haven’t but even comments that are just emojis i respond to. I love comments and love reading them so I try to get across to people I really appreciate them ☺️
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I remember you… Do you remember me? ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/36298375 ) I had a whole 2022 Whumptober yet I think this one takes the cake on angst. So angsty I had to write an alternate less angsty ending 😂
7. What is a fic you wrote with the happiest of endings?
A New Beginning (https://archiveofourown.org/works/37391902 )
So I’m taking this as something that has angst but a happy conclusion - and I feel this fic is one of those.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Surprisingly no? I’ve gotten a few comments that are kinda iffy but most comments are very sweet!
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Lots of smut- so much in fact most of its in my Works in Progress 😭 I’m so terrible at finishing smut but I usually go with darker themes ☺️
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Oh!! Their all in my wips 😭 I did start making a Mdzs/Nope crossover which would probably be my strangest if I ever finished it up
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope, but one time one of my aus I made with a friend got stolen! But that’s s story for another time
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! Unfortunately I don’t have the link of the translation but my fic Pocky got translated into Russian ! (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27507364)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before
Nope
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Statistically speaking- if going by number of fics- Aziraphale/Crowley. However, I have to say an all time fav would be Jessie/James (Pokémon) a ship I’ve never read nor wrote for. Just one of those childhood nostalgia ones.
15. What’s a wip you want to finsih but probably never will?
All of them 😭 In all serious though I’m terrible with long fics and while I have grand ideas it’s hard for me to stick through them. My Danganronpa/TGCF AU will forever be in my heart (and full planned on a discord server) but will likely never see any light of day.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I’ve been told my dialogue flows well and that I have a good hold on how people would react.
17. Writing weaknesses?
… Smut? I feel I’m slow on making it because I overthink it.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Oh!! I’ve done this!! It’s fun and also terrible. I feel I’m getting translations wrong but I do my best. I did once try to write a whole fic in another language— unfortunately that fic is lost to time.
19. First Fandom I wrote For?
On ao3 Rick and Morty. On amino, though, I wrote for Undertale first. And my first fics were mini comics I made at home for Pokémon.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
The Inter(Viewers) ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/40985745/chapters/102715464)
It’s the longest finished fic of mine and I’m really proud of that fact! I put a lot into it and it has some of my favorite scenes.
Tags: I’m sorry I don’t know who to tag- please my fellow writers jump on this if you want to do this!

what’s venus like ?? <:-)
i have a post all about her backstory in my oc tag but! this does not go into the Vibes, of which hers are immaculate imo (sorry in advance bc i just woke up so my Rambling Inhibitions are not in effect yet)
as i explained there, she's part of a group called the commonwealth collective which are a spacefaring expansion of the modern-day organization called Industrial Workers of the World whose ideaology can be summarized in the idea of "One Big Union," believing that all workers from across all industry should be unionized. so she is a big ol' space commie and completely dedicated to this cause. they're also surprisingly technologically advanced compared to other factions bc, y'know, they actually prioritize workers which has bred amazing innovation, especially when it comes to ship engineering, which is her specialty.
when designing her, i knew i wanted her to have kind of a simple aesthetic bc she probably wouldn't have, like, access to fancy things and the commonwealth generally upcycles everything, including clothes. so her general outfit is these clunky old combat boots and an old brown leather flight jacket that have been patched (and patched, and patched again) and a big tool belt over cargo pants with so many large pockets so she could comically stash massive mechanical parts in them while she's scavenging.
it reminded me a lot of tali from mass effect so i also gave her a little drone inspired by Chatika but it's name is Lox ("short for Goldilocks, because it's always the right tool for any job!"). it's her little baby even if it's "just a VI," and though it can be utilized for dangerous tasks, she generally plays it safe so it doesn't get hurt.
another key element of her is that she's a psionic, which like mass effect biotics are kinda taboo and seen as weird and scary during the time period her game is set in. but despite how much it's fucked with her life, venus tries damn hard to be proud to be one. to see it as a strength. so instead of trying to hide like she did when she was younger, she puts it all out there. she is a little chatterbug who talks with almost every person she sees and will remember every face.
she knows how scary the galaxy can be and she always wants to be a bright spot in it.

That does it! Explain your selfship tags, because I wanna know if there's a story behind 'em. Please and thank you!
ANAJWNWK- Ya got it boss! 😎👍
All of my self-ship tags are like that because I ADORE the fandom ship-names that are lil puns based on the characters involved… but I don’t think that’s the part I needed to explain lol. You’re right though, most of my self-ship names/tags have a bit of a lore behind them! I’ll try to make this post not the longest thing in the universe, but I am warning you… there’s gonna be a lot.
(I, uh… idk if it was a specific tag that made you curious. I’m just gonna go over all my individual Romantic F/O tags; but if it was one of the poly-tags that you were curious about, or if it wasn’t even a Romantic F/O that peaked your interest, then lemme know!)
———
🕶💥Dramatics💥🕶 - Karamatsu and Freedom are both dramatic people. That’s… that’s it really. 🕶 is Kara’s emoji because he wears sunglasses. 💥 is Freedom’s emoji because it looks like one of those effects you’d add in comic books, and she’s a comic artist so- | 💉🖋Blueprints🖋💉 - So, the reason Dr. Flug and Inkwell started working more together was because Inkwell could turn Flug’s blueprints into physical models, which helped him flesh out his inventions. It also works well because, like, Blueprints are sciency things and they use ink, so it fits both their motifs anyway. 💉 references this one shot I adore of Flug, where he’s holding this syringe full of nasty green stuff and is just looking sinister. 🖋 is there because pens have ink and certain pens need inkwells.
🏜📰One Shot📰🏜 - So, Sniper is…. a sniper, and Journalist has a writing-centric job. So the name’s kinda like, idk, a pun. One Shot here means both “shooting once and being successful” and “the style of writing”. We’ve got 🏜 for Sniper because he’s from the outback, and 📰 for Journalist because, ya know, the news! | 📋📰Secretary Dept.📰📋- Both Miss Pauling and Journalist have secretary-esq jobs. AKA: They write reports all the time. The emojis link to their respective forms of writing. | 🐸📱Songwriter📱🐸 - Lúcio makes music, and Dime was an author/social media influencer. So, songwriter was a word that perfectly fit the both of them! 🐸 represents Lúcio’s frog aesthetic, and 📱 references Dime being an influencer.
🔩🍀Successful Operation🍀🔩 - Stein’s known for his biological/physical experiments, and Lucky’s whole thing is that she’s like a good-luck charm to Death Weapon Meister Academy. So the name’s kinda means, like, “hey, the surgery went well! how lucky!”. The 🔩 represents the literal screw in Stein’s head, and the 🍀 represents Lucky’s luck. | 👊💡Transformative Love💡👊 - So, Goku and Fluores’s shticks both revolve HEAVILY around transformations. Goku has his 50 gazillion different forms, and Fluores can hop between a human and alien form. And tbh Transformative Love just had a nice ring to it. 👊 references Goku’s violent tendencies, and 💡 represents Fluores’s name-source (fluorescent), which in itself references her moth-like alien form.
(This next paragraph is all about the Cookie Run self-ships. To save time, I’ll just tell you now that all their emojis reference their flavors. The only exception is Licorice’s emoji, ☠️; that’s just a ref to his aesthetic.)
🍾🍇Viola Rosa🍇🍾 - Viola Rosa is literally just a brand of wine I saw at the store one day. Sparkling’s based of champagne and Faux Berry’s themed after berries! Seemed fair enough. | 🧀🍇True Crime Novella🍇🧀 - Roguefort is a HUGE wanted criminal, and Faux Berry is an author! So why not combine those themes by referencing mystery novels, but except clarify that they’re REAL. The novella part of the name just sounded fancy; the distinction in what book it is has no real meaning. | ☠️🍇Dark Arts Scribe🍇☠️ - Licorice does dark magic! And like I said earlier, Faux Berry is an author! The name’s just another cute way to fuse their jobs. | 🍰🍇A Dog’s Tale🍇🍰 - Red Velvet controls an army that’s made up of essentially dogs, so the base for the ship name is A Dog’s *Tail. But I replaced tail with tale because, once again, Faux’s job. | 🌸🍇Tricolor Tea🍇🌸 - So, if you look at Cherry Blossom and Faux Berry’s color palettes, the pink from Cherry Blossom would stick out & the blue/purple/pink from Faux would stick out. Those three colors can be associated with the duo then, & as a cute bonus they both have pink, so the other colors they have can kinda be tied together! The tea’s just a reference to the fact Cherry Blossom likes tea.
🔥🌿Traveling Circus Rose🌿🔥 - Rengoku is the Flame Hashira, and The Wisteria Wanderer is a vigilante that themed herself after the flowers that demons are weak to. The Circus Rose is a flower that looks a lot like fire, so it references both Rengoku’s fire aesthetic and W.W’s plant aesthetic! The traveling part is because they both have to travel for their jobs. 🔥 represents Rengoku’s fire and 🌿 represents the hanging nature of the wisteria tree. | 🐦💭Head in the Clouds💭🐦 - Hawks can fly, and Daydream’s whole aesthetic is dreamlike. Therefore, the phrase “head in the clouds” can be both literal and metaphorical! Like, you can literally have your head in those clouds because you’re flying, or your head is just in those clouds because you’re spacing out. 🐦 represents Hawks’s bird aesthetic, and 💭 is a thought-bubble for Daydream, cause ya know, she essentially daydreams for her quirk! | 🌌🎧Artificial Nature🎧🌌 - This one references their contrasting aesthetics and values! Dororo has a more traditional aesthetic & loves the outdoors and nature. Miss Machina has a futuristic(ish) aesthetic, and loves technology and human progress. The name’s like, idk, the written counterpart to those phone towers that look like trees; it just combines their two vibes. 🌌 represents Dororo, because he’s an alien! 🎧 is there because Machina had headphones in her design when I made the tag, but now it’s just there as a standard nod to tech.
🎹🕊Angel’s Choir🕊🎹 - 2-D is the lead singer of the band, and Lily does backing vocals! 2-D has the voice of an angel, and Lily’s whole aesthetic is vaguely-inspired by angels (even to the point that 2-D thought she was a guardian angel for a bit). And, ya know, they sing together, so it’s like a choir! 🎹 is there because 2-D can play the keyboard, and 🕊 is there to reference Lily’s angelcore aesthetic. | 📚🌺Assisted Romanticide🌺📚 - Okay, so Gary and Libby each have a self-defined purpose of existing to assist the ones they care about, including each other. Romanticide is a word for death that is, in some way, caused by romance; THIS is here because Gary and Libby have had to protect each other many many times. 📚 references Gary’s love for comic books, and 🌺 references those vacation button-ups that dads are known to wear (Libby’s shtick is that she’s a dimensional tourist, if that helps to add context). | 💎👻Graveyard Stones👻💎 - Henry is a Rock-Type trainer for GO Rocket, and Liberty is a Hex Maniac (AKA: she trains Ghost and Psychic types). So the name combines both of their type preferences by referencing all the rocks you can find at burial sites. 💎 is a gemstone for Henry; I would’ve given him a 🪨, but that didn’t show up on PC for me. 👻 is for Liberty, because ghost. | 🛋💽FOCUS.EXE Has Crashed💽🛋 - Sasha and Libs both have technological aesthetics linked to them, which explains the techno-blabble in the name. The reason that it’s FOCUS.EXE specifically crashing is because, well, you tend to lose your focus when you’re brainrotting over your lover! 🛋 is for Sasha; it was meant to vaguely reference his weird grudge against lamps, but the emoji honestly just fits his vibe. 💽 represents Libs, since she has the more heavily-used computer aesthetic
I’ll explain 🏩Lavender Lovers🏩 too since I’m about to use it. This is my catch-all tag for when I talk about a TON of F/Os. So, like, my signature color is purple, and lavender is a shade of purple. So my lovers being titled as lovers of a color that’d surely make them think of me is very wholesome. It’s also a reference to the Lavender Lands, which in my self-ship lore is the big cross-over dimension that everyone gets to mingle in. The emoji is 🏩, which I think is a Love Hotel, but might be a Love Hospital instead? That emoji’s just there because there’s a lotta lovers living in the same place (the crossover dimension has this huge mansion we all get to chill in; it’s the biggest roommate trope known to man lmao).
#self ship#self shipper#self shipping#romantic f/o#🏩lavender lovers🏩#🗽letters to liberty🗽#mmmmmm#I’ll put this under Into the Libbyverse too#it technically covers the lore so-

Tormented (Sirius Black x Reader) Part Nine
Summary: (Y/N) leaves home right out of Hogwarts due to circumstances Sirius could definitely relate to. When he opens his home to her, things don’t go exactly as planned.
Pairing: Post Azkaban Sirius Black x FemReader
Warnings: I’m struggling with whether this is NSFW or not?? Like sexual themes for sure and maybe language but not gonna lie I kinda lost steam writing the smut part.
A/N: Sooo I wanted this to be smutty and I started but I kinda lost steam writing it... I’ve been struggling with writing smut for a bit. But I am trying bear with me! I just wanted to end it and get it up and not be so MIA. Long rant over! Enjoy! -S
———————————————————————
It was almost comical how quickly something good be ruined. It could take days, weeks, months, or even years to build and poof. One little match and a whole forest could be nothing but a pile of ash. Sirius supposed this wasn’t exactly the same thing, but he was worried it had potential. It was probably his job to be the one to break the ice, since he was the one to freeze the conversation, “About earlier...”
“You didn’t mean it?” (Y/N) interrupted him and Sirius wasn’t sure if she sounded hopeful or maybe if she was trying to give him an out. Maybe he should take it...
“I wasn’t going to say that.” Sirius wasn’t sure if he was making a mistake or not. However he doubted they could go back to pretending to be oblivious anymore.
“So you meant it?” (Y/N) wasn’t sure what got into her. Perhaps it was all the scenarios she played in her head, but she couldn’t wait anymore. She needed him to be straight with her. “If you did mean it, I’m worried you only think that because you’re not really around anyone else.”
“You can’t honestly think that?” Sirius was a little shocked. She always seemed so sure of herself. Of course he always assumed that everyone had their own insecurities, it was only logical. Truthfully, if he was twelve years younger he’d understand. He never really had a reputation for being a long term type of guy... he couldn’t recall sharing too much of that with her though. He was particularly proud of it now that he thought himself to be quite a bit different. “I don’t fancy being stuck in here, and it’s never been my intention of ignoring Dumbledore’s wishes, but I don’t plan on being here forever.”
“That doesn’t really answer my question, does it?”
“I meant it.” Sirius tried to mentally prepare himself for what would come next. Maybe it’d be fine? Surely if she was worried about it that meant she felt something? Or maybe she was trying to talk him down off a ledge and he’d just leapt to his death regardless of any and every warning she gave him.
(Y/N) had gotten her answer. The next step would probably be to try and say something in return. “I love you too... I’m sorry I’m not trying to be so- You really caught me off guard earlier and I’ve been planning what to say when you told me you didn’t mean it-“
Sirius drew closer to her, a smile growing on his face as she her rambling came to a halt. “I do apologize for putting you on the spot. I promise you it wasn’t my intention.”
(Y/N) was glad that some of the normality was returning. She was jealous that he seemed to have a much easier time regaining him composure and cutting through tension that she did, but she wouldn’t dwell too much on it since she was definitely reaping the benefits at the moment. “It’s okay... you could make it up to me?”
Sirius almost wanted to laugh. It was almost comical how quickly somethings could be fixed. Minutes ago he thought he had broken something that had been one of the only bright things in his world full of darkness. Now, the girl who’d shown him a bit of doubt was back to her normal confident self; feigning innocence and drawing him in like a moth to a flame. Normally he’d like to mess with her, ask her what she wanted from him, but he didn’t know if he had the willpower to do so today.
She felt her eyelids get heavier and the air thicken as Sirius’ mouth drew closer and closer to hers. His lips were soft against hers, almost teasing in how gentle the kiss was, but it didn’t take long for the tempo to change. Their lips moved quickly against each other, almost as if they could anticipate each other’s movements.
Sirius’ hands found her hips. His fingers dug gently into her as he carefully guided her to the dining room table. They only broke away when the back of (Y/N)’s legs hit the wood and she gracefully toppled onto it. A oomph and a giggle fell from her swollen lips as she adjusted herself to a comfortable position sitting on the tabletop. “Sorry.”
Sirius smiled against her lips, feeling a bit guilty about her tumble. They both seemed to forget about it whenever Sirius found his place between her legs. Sirius’ fingers tangled in her hair and he tugged just enough to pull her close to him again, closing the gap between them. (Y/N)’s hands fumbled with the buttons on his shirt, haphazardly undoing them and exploring the newly exposed skin. They hadn’t been going at it for even a five minutes and she was ready to undress him. Honestly, she’d never been a patient person anyways and there was something about hearing that he loved her that made her want him even more.
He seemed to concur that they were moving to slow, because as soon as she’d finished he eagerly shed the article of clothing. (Y/N) shivered against him when his fingertips skimmed across her skin after snaking their way under her shirt. It was funny how his fingers were cold yet somehow felt like a torch as they moved across her sides and back, stopping only when he reached the closure of her bra which he skillfully snapped open leaving the garment hanging loosely enough for hands to easily slip under. Sirius’ lips slipped down to her ear, “I honestly am hopelessly in love with you.”
(Y/N) let out a content moan, partially due to his words and partially because his fingers were starting to tease her breasts under her bra. She knew she was in for quite the night with the man she loved and that was utter bliss in that moment.

Blueberry Chapter 1
Summary: Y/N is fresh out of college with a small job at a newspaper, when she meets Chris Evans. They start a Sugar Daddy/Sugar baby relationship and try to navigate through their feelings, desires and personal obstacles.
Warning: Fluff, not so confident reader, shitty roommate, proberly curse words
Parring: AU Chris Evans x female plus size reader
A/N: Hi there. So this is my first Chris Evans fic. It’s still a WIP and don’t really have that much of a plan with it. It will be a fluffy, angsty, smutty adventure spiced with some Sugar Daddy, Ddlg and D/s elements. But don’t expect that from the get go though. It’s a slow burn in some elements. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave a comment and share!
My masterlist
Blueberry Masterlist
Chapter 1:
The smell of freshly ground coffee beans and baked goods filled the air as I waited in line at the instagram worthy coffee shop. I riffled through my small backpack, finding my pink wallet and praying to god that there still was that 5 dollar bill that I found a week ago crumbled up in the bottom of my bag.
Just as my fingers grabbed the edges of the bill, the barista behind the counter yelled “Next”, but since I was preoccupied with my treasure hunt I didn’t hear it.
“Ahem, NEXT?!” The young blonde said again.
It wasn’t until I felt a small nudge on my shoulder I registered that my turn was up. I quickly looked over my shoulder to see who interrupted my thoughts, and had to do a double check to see the tall, broad man in a tailor fitted suit standing behind me with a small smirk on his face.
I literally gawked at him trying to take in this huge man’s chiseled features, but was all too fast interrupted by a “If you are not going to buy anything, please step out of the line, Ma’am” which made the gorgeous man lean down and say to me “I think this is the part where you order”
It took a while before my mind finally (after what seemed like a 1000 years!) caught up with what was happening.
“Oh.. “ I looked between him and the desk and back again. “Oh Geez! I’m so sorry!” I hurried up to the desk with the biggest blush on my cheeks.
“Sure, what can I get you?” The skinny blonde with the highest and tightest ponytail I have ever seen said with a sigh and an almost eye roll.
“Uhm, just a green tea with jasmine… and.. uhm…” I looked at the different cupcakes, muffins and cookies on display” “and uhm.. How much for the blueberry muffin?”
“That is 2 dollars. You want one?”
As I looked and craved that sweet ass delicious muffin, I looked at the crumbled 5 dollar bill in my hand, and I knew I needed the change for the bus fare. “Oh.. no, just the tea please, thank you” I ordered with a defeated sigh.
“Sure, that’s 3.15, and what name can I write on the order?”
“Y/N… Thank you.” I gave her my precious bill
I have 5 dollars for a week and suddenly it’s Gollum and the ring, yeeesh girl
I quickly made my way to the end of the bar to wait for my order, counting the change in my wallet.
I think there is enough for the bus tomorrow and some food.. maybe if I get off the stop before and get the bare necessities at the store. That could work.
I nodded to myself and straightened up.
“Y/N!?” A young boy yelled from the desk placing a comically large cup with a tea tag hanging off the edge of the cup, on the counter.
“Yeah, that’s me” I lifted a hand a little.
“Right, here you go, and enjoy your tea”
With a “thanks”, I turned around and scouted for a spot to place my behind and a bathtub of tea, and by the gods of all things holy there was an empty armchair with a little table in the far corner. My face lit up and I went to place myself at the newly found corner of heaven.
The old velvet armchair that looked like something from a grandmother’s house was soft but springy, but still made an excellent snuggle spot. I pulled my legs up under me and pulled out my book. This was gonna be a good Sunday afternoon after all.
“Ahem”... A soft cough pulled me from my book and I looked over the edge of the pages in front of me. They scanned up a large frame in a navy suit and landed on a familiar face. It was the adonis from the line of humiliation.
A heavy blush fanned across my face as I made eye contact with a pair of the bluest eyes I have ever seen.
When I finally let my eyes travel further across his face, I saw the sharp cheekbones and the well-trimmed beard that framed his plush pink lips that were formed into a smirk at the moment.
I blinked slowly, and then shook my head, trying to see if this was a figure of my imagination, but nope. He was still there.
“What.. uhm.. Yeah?” I stumbled over my words..”Can I help you?”
“Ehehe.. Well, maybe. See I got this blueberry muffin, but I don’t think I can eat the whole thing, so I was wondering if you might want to share it with me?”
“What?”
What the actual fuck is going on at this moment!?
I turned around to see if there was someone behind me, because surely he wasn’t talking to me. The movement made him laugh under his breath.
“Shit, I thought it was a pretty smooth line. But man just shows me huh?”
He rubbed the back of his neck which made a show of his incredibly large bicep that was struggling to stay inside the sleeve of his jacket.
I still looked like the fucking moon had fallen to the earth.
“I’m sorry, what did you say? Did I take your seat?” I began shifting seeing if I accidentally had taken someone’s seat.
“No no! God, this is not going how I planned” he shook his head still wearing a smirk.
“I was just trying to get to talk to you, and I saw you wanted that blueberry muffin, so thought maybe.. You know what! Nevermind”
He took out his hand and smiled with the brightest smile I had ever seen.
“Hi, I’m Chris, can I sit here and talk to you?”
A small “Huh” left me, and I arched an eyebrow still in confusion of what the actual fuck was going on. I shook his hand.
“Hi, I’m Y/N. Sure.. take a seat?” I answered with a question.
The god, the model from GQ, the adonis, the most gorgeous man ever apparently named Chris sat in a small chair across from me.
“I’m sorry, are you sure you are at the right table?” I looked at him with squinted eyes leaning towards him
“I think there are some instagram models over by the window” I pointed towards two absolutely gorgeous girls with perfect hair and outfits, posing for each other to take the right picture.
He looked quickly at them, before looking into my eyes again.
“I am absolutely sure I am at the right table!” He said with a wink.
“Oh… okay” A sheepish smile came across my lips as I sank a bit further into the velvet chair.
A silence came over the two of us, as neither of us knew how to start the next sentence.
I tried to hide my awkwardness by taking a sip of my tea.
“You know I think you can hide your entire face in that thing” Chris pointed at my giant mug filled with tea.
“I know, right! I think it’s big enough for squirrels to take a bath in” I lifted said cup up and studied it.
We both looked at each other and the large mug, before we busted out laughing.
“I’m so sorry about before. I swear I usually have my shit together, but for the first time in a long time somebody threw me off my talking game” He looked down at his hands before casting a glance at me.
“I’m sorry for not understanding what was going on. I’m not used to people like you talking to me.”
“And by people like me you mean..?” He crooked an eyebrow.
“You know, absolutely gorgeous men in fancy suits and big muscles.” I said, shrugging, looking blushing at my book in my lap, fidgeting with the edges of the book.
“Oh those people.. So you think my suit is fancy huh?” He leaned over the table and winked at me.
Yep, the mother fucker winked at me!
“Uhm.. uh.. yeah.. I don’t know suits, but that kinda looks fancy.” I said in a small voice and blushed even harder and intensely looking at the frayed edges of my book.
“Damn…!” He exclaimed under his breath.
“What?” I looked up wide eyed at him with big doe eyes and mouth slightly agape.
He shook his head before looking up at me.
“You are just adorable” he smirked before looking at what I assume was an expensive as fuck watch.
“Well, as much as I want to stay here and talk and get to know you Y/N, believe me, I really wish I could. But gotta go. It was really wonderful meeting you, and hopefully we will meet again”
He said with a wink before holding out his hand.
I shook his hand and as soon as I did, he placed a small kiss on the back of my hand.
“Uhm, yeah.. Sure. Have a great day then?” I said with confusion written all across my face. He then left, but not before turning around at the entry door to the shop, and threw a million dollar smile my way that made me weak in my bones and permeated the blush I had been sporting all throughout the ordeal.
What the fuck just happened and who was that man?
I shook my head and laughed at the whole situation, when I saw a brown paper bag with the coffee shop logo on it placed on the small table.
What’s this?
I looked inside and lo and behold there, in a perfect plastic container, was a wonderful blueberry muffin with a white card sticking out of it.
I took it out, and picked up the card that read.
“Chris Evans
Attorney at law”
Just below that there was scribbled in a blue pen
“And acquirer of blueberry muffins, for more contact the number”
And sure enough there was a phone number on the card also written in blue pen.
“Very smooth, Mr. Evans” I chuckled to myself. The card was tucked in my wallet and the muffin soon consumed as I returned to reading my book.
Well… that just happened.
The plastic bag gnawed into my fingers as I trudged from the bus stop towards my apartment. The walk was a bit longer than usual since I got off at an earlier stop in hopes of saving the pennies. I finally reached my building and unlocked the front door, and made my way up the.. Wait for it… 5 flights of stairs! Now you may wonder, who in their right mind would live on the fifth floor in a building without an elevator? This lucky gal, that’s who! It’s cheap and close to the bus stop. Beggars can’t be choosers.
When I finally reached the door to my apartment and began to let myself in, I was blocked when the chain rattled the door shut on the other side.
“”What the hell?.. Dammit! Hey… Allie???” I began yelling through the door. “Hey Allie! Please unhook the chain!”
A loud sigh and some rustling was heard from inside of the apartment.
“Ugh are you already home?” My roommate Allie came up to the door, rolling her eyes, before closing the door so she could unhook the little brass chain.
The door then slipped open revealing Allie thrudging towards the sofa, where her boyfriend was lounging in his grey sweatpants and t-shirt filled with cheeto dust.
Allie and I had been roommates for about 6 months, since I moved to the city for my job. She was a black haired, pale skinned, beautiful girl. She had an amazing bone structure and a body most girls would envy. She used all of those assets in her job as a dancer/stripper, which she was very proud of.
Her boyfriend named Craig was an average looking guy, with brown hair and a goatee, unemployed at the moment, which meant that he was spending a lot.. A LOT of time at our apartment.
“Sup Y/N!” He called from the couch, while grabbing a handful of cheetos before drowning them down with a gulp of beer.
“Hi Craig..” I muttered and went towards the kitchen and began unpacking my groceries. When I opened the fridge the emptiness greeted me and a lonely carton of milk stood on the shelf.
“Uhm, guys?.. Where is the rest of my food?”
I knew there was some food left, but now it was all cleaned out.
“Well, we got hungry so…” Allie said with a shrug as she laid on the sofa with her feet hanging over the edge of the couch and her head in Craig’s lap.
“But.. It was mine. You could at least send me a note to get something for you while I was out” I sighed and began defeatingly placing the small bundle of food I just got on the shelves in the fridge.
“Sorry. Didn’t think of it. Sorry” Allie said with clear annoyance in her voice.
Sorry my ass.
I knew better than to start an argument with her, so I just hurried unpacking, secretly putting my cereal and the few apples in my backpack to keep in my room.
My humble bedroom greeted me as I closed the door behind me, and let out an exasperated sigh.
Home sweet, dirty, small, smelly home.
It wasn’t much, in fact it was the smallest room in the apartment. There was just enough for my oooooold twin bed, a small nightstand with a frilly lamp placed on top, a desk with all my notes and a brick of a laptop. At least there was a tiny walk-in closet that had just enough room for my clothes (besides the clothes that were still packed in a suitcase under my bed)
I fell down on my bed feeling the scratch on my cheek from my knitted mustard yellow bedcover. As I lay there a smile flashed in my mind, followed by blue eyes looking at me. Chris…
Chris?! I sat up with a startle. How could I forget that hunk of a man from earlier today?!
Stuff like that never happened to me, and as I shook my head over the not so far away memory of him, I recalled the little white business card.
Quickly I pulled my backpack into my lap, digging like a mad woman looking for the pink wallet.
“Aha!” I exclaimed as I found the wallet and the card within, and let the bag drop to the ground. I crawled up my bed sitting against the headboard amongst my 376 or so throw pillows
Okay, so I maybe have an addiction for funky throw pillows
I fished out my not-so modern smartphone, and opened the text message app. Then I stared at it.
What am I doing? He doesn’t want to talk to me. It’s probably a prank. A number for some random person he is trying to tease.
I shook my head and tossed the phone and card further down the bed.
“Huff! What are you thinking girl? A guy like that won’t talk to you!” I heard myself say out loud.
I went over to my desk, got my laptop ready and looked at my notes.
Might as well get started on some work.
I finished college last year with a major in journalism, I really thought that I was going to start working on a paper or publishing company writing hard in-depth articles and helping show the world the truth.
What I didn’t expect was landing my current job of proofreading answers to a segment called "Ask Helen" at the rather big newspaper I worked at.
It was an advice column where people wrote in for help and advice on their life. It was a 90s something relic in the paper, but “Ask Helen” was a popular column and got more letters than we could keep up with.
Helen was a 65 year old chain-smoking lady who answered the questions at hand on her old typewriter, which meant somebody had to digitize them and correct any errors or typos, and that somebody was lucky me.
The deadline was Tuesday and I still had 4 answers to read through. It was a shitty job, with a shitty pay but at least it was in the field.. Right? That was at least something? I think. Fingers crossed that some day an opening for a writer in one of the larger segments would come up for grabs.
As the night rolled around I had finished about 2 answers and considered my work done for the night, and went to make some dinner. The living room/kitchen was a hot mess. Trash and bottles all over the wobbly coffee table and the TV blaring while the kitchen sink was full of dirty dishes and pans. I didn’t notice that when I got home, and a gnawing feeling filled my stomach.
I frantically opened the fridge and yes, my food was gone. It wasn’t much. Some eggs, milk, ground beef and some tomatoes. I had planned to make a large pot of bolognese so I would have dinner for the next couple of days. But no, now all that was left was two eggs, and half carton of milk.
For fuck’s sake!
“ALLIE?!” I yelled towards her room “Did you take my food again????!”
No answer at first, just some ruffling behind the door, which opened in a fury. Allie stood wearing a full face of makeup and her hair in two high pigtails, pink lipstick grazed her plump lips, and clad in a black latex top and flowy latex skater skirt.
“WHAT?” She snarled.
“Did you eat the food I just got today?”
“Uhm, I don’t know. We just took whatever. I gotta go to work now. Are we done?” She popped her hip as she hooked in giant hoop earrings, and Craig came behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist as he kissed her neck.
“Tihihi… Stop Craig! No marks before work!” She giggled as she turned around in his arms and playfully slapped him on his shoulder.
“It’s just so hard not to when you look so fuckable”
He punctuated his sentence with a thrust of his hips, making Allie get off balance in her insanely high heels, and giggled once more.
I just hung my head low and closed the fridge, Allie and Craig went towards the front door, but not before Craig slapped his hand across my ass when he passed me.
“HEY!” I turned around covering my butt with my hands.
“What? You could use some loosening up” Craig said with a grin, only making Allie laugh in mockery.
“Why don’t you clean up a bit, the place is a mess!”
Allie had the audacity to say to me as she put on her big black faux fur coat, while gesturing towards the kitchen and living room.
“But I didn’t even.. “ I barely got the words out before they laughed and went out the door, letting the sound of the slam echo through the apartment.
I could feel the lump in my throat tightening and tears prick at the edges of my eyes, but I shook my head and held my head high, turned on my heel making my way towards my room, and just as my hand touched the handle, I turned around again and made my way towards the dish covered sink. 15 mins later my fingers were prunes, the dishes were done and the counter clean. The mess in the living room I had no intentions of doing something about.
That’s right! I stick up for myself… sometimes!
I crawled under the covers snuggling with my childhood cuddle bear who had been with me through thick and thin, and rolled over to see my phone and the white card next to me on the bed.
Hmm.. maybe, I should just try?
“What do you think, Albus?” I looked at the bear with one eye.
“Do I need to venture outside my comfort zone and text an unknown man, an incredibly hot unknown man?”
“Sure do it! You only live once Y/N” I mimicked my voice pretending to be Albus.
“Sigh, alright, if you say so”
I grabbed the phone and added the number in my contacts as Blueberry Chris and began writing a text. After several trials and errors, curses and almost believing my writing skills had left me for good, I settled on a simple, short text that read:
Hello there Mr. Blueberry muffin provider
I thank you for your service today!
10/10 rating from this customer
/Y/N
I pressed send and threw the covers over my head after having tossed the phone as if it had burned me.
“Aaaaarh! I can’t believe I just did that!”
With a huge smile on my face, I set the alarm on my phone and turned off my lamp.
Dirty dishes, blueberry muffins and pearly white smiles filled my dreams.

Goth Does 25 things About Me Tag
Tagged by @ebonyezra
My blog says "babybat" but I've been in the subculture for 4 years, 2 years of that active in the irl community
Before I got into goth, renaissance faires were my main scene
I was a horse girl when I was a child & did classical ballet & was a straight A student & a trophy child, basically
Then early onset schizophrenia in my preteen years made me the glorious disaster I am today
My favorite time period is the 1920s and I'm obsessed with 20s (and also rococo!) fashion. Like 'over a thousand fashion plates from the era are saved on my computer' obsessed
I sew my own clothes and would like to get into historical costuming
I'm planning to study fashion design or failing that, mortuary science (how cliché)
I'm very religious and can't quite label my beliefs but the closest I can get is Omnism, unfortunately this often clashes with my schizophrenia
Dark wave and dark cabaret are always competing as my favorite musical genre
My favorite musicians are Amanda Palmer, Rozz Williams and Will Wood
I also like industrial, classical music, country and a random assortment of inde & pop artists. I'm very ashamed of my love for Lana Del Rey that has been going on for a dreadful six years
I collect a lot of stuff: bones, butterflies, porcelain dolls, 19th century books, string instruments, plush bats, tarot decks, rosaries, religious memorabilia in general, and any trinket that's shiny
Because of the previous point, my room looks like Howl's from the Ghibli movie
My favorite movies are Repo! The Genetic Opera and American Mary
My favorite comics are Sandman, Pretty Deadly and Empty Zone
My favorite animals are bats and rays
I'm a redhead but I've had pink / purple / blonde hair throughout the years
I identify as nonbinary but can't be bothered to care about pronouns because my native language only has genderless ones so refer to me however you like.
I dated a semi-well-known experimental singer for a year and I was kind of a bitch to him, to be honest, so I'm constantly paranoid he'll write mean songs about me
I have a British accent for some unknowable reason so people generally think I'm from the UK if I don't tell them otherwise.
I was a notoriously awful drunk around 14-16. I quit alcohol entirely after I woke up naked in my own vomit in a friend's kitchen, not remembering anything.
I do my own stick 'n poke tattoos and they kinda look like rubbish but they're very significant to me and I wouldn't let anyone else tattoo me (maybe my partner or some very dear friends)
I usually go to the circus every year on New Year's Eve since I was 7, but due to the pandemic, this was the first New Year's I spent alone at home with my partner
My signature perfume is Mouse Circus by BPAL. It smells like popcorn and cotton candy.
I LOVE turkish delight and would 100% betray my family for an unlimited supply
Tagging @monsieur-venus @become-a-gear @reverserevolverocelot and anyone who fancies oversharing

Mirror, Mirror P.4
masterlist
request guidelines
requests are open!
pairing: draco x reader
requested: nope it’s my idea laddies
summary: reader has had a crush on draco for a long time from afar, which would be fine if they hadn’t been paired up to do rounds as prefects together and ran into a certain mirror.
a/n: yeah so i’m kinda cooling down on this blog just bc im about to start up school again. but i’m still here and i still love writing stuff up! i also just got a typewriter that i’m obsessing over (and it’s in slytherin colors!!!! eek!!). i’m writing this on a ferry right now. i hope you all enjoy.
music recs: tungs from the frights
word count: 1,082 (i know it’s so short i’m so sorry but there’s gonna be way more parts and i just wanted to get this out there!!)
9:57.
The air surrounding her was thick with anticipation, but Y/N was most deliciously alone.
She hadn’t seen Draco since the night in the dungeons with Rena, when she’d ran away like a child. The memory still made her cringe—who does that sort of stuff anyways?
But when she had returned to her dorm and retold the story to Rena,things took an interesting turn. Her friend’s words still echoed around in her head--No, Y/N, you have to stop playing games....all you’re doing is embarrassing yourself now...he already knows, and he’s still seeking you out...it’ll feel better after it’s over, you won’t need to hide from him anymore...
Something snapped Y/N out of her inner conflict: footsteps, sounding down the corridor just a few seconds away. She swallowed, shut her eyes, and leaned back against the wall, secretly praying that he couldn’t see her.
“Sorry I’m late, I got a little caught up,” Malfoy greeted, stopping in front of her. “What’s gotten into you? Stop leaning on the wall, there’s probably a whole colony of spiders behind the plaster.”
Y/N squeaked at that statement, throwing herself off of it and glaring at him once she regained her composure. “Spiders don’t live in plaster.”
“You seemed mighty convinced otherwise a moment ago. I thought Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart.”
“I am!”
Malfoy looked amused at that, his glowing eyes twinkling and the sides of his mouth turning up. “Well, then...if you’re so smart, did you finally figure out what the mirror was?”
Fuck.
She was supposed to be the one to bring that up, not him! Y/N turned bright red before she could help herself, her mouth agape and eyes wide.
“What?”
“You heard me,” he said, cocking his head to the side. Another smirk passed over his features as well of a realization. “Oh, you did, didn’t you! That’s why you’re being so painfully awkward and making this worse for both of us.”
“Wha--no!” Worse for both of us? Us? What did that mean?
Y/N gulped again, dropping eye contact with him to look at the floor.
“Y’know, you can come clean,” he mused. “I’m not going to tell anyone.”
“What have I to tell you?”
Draco rolled his eyes. “And people tell me I’m the most difficult person in our year.”
“I’m not difficult!”
“Sure you aren’t.”
They began walking without another word, casually and akin to their other round shifts, but Y/N’s mind was racing. Did he mean it when he said he wouldn’t tell anyone? Of course he didn’t, he was the worst person in the history of Hogwarts. Well, that was hyperbolic.
She stole a glimpse at him when they turned a corner and she was sure he wasn’t going to catch her, drinking in the sight of him wearing a white dress shirt with rolled up sleeves with his Slytherin tie looped haphazardly around his neck, his collar slightly undone. He must’ve washed his hair because there was no longer any gel in it. Some of his uniquely light strands had dared to stretch out over his brow, just barely catching the torchlight of the corridor.
“Is there something on my face?” Draco drawled, giving her a lazy flash of the corner of his eyes.
“Er..” She pondered for a millisecond, coming up with a rather idiotic plan. “Yes. An eyelash.”
Draco took a swipe at his cheekbones, his eyebrows knit together in suspicion. He glanced down at his fingers curiously.
“You know, it’s funny, because I didn’t happen to feel anything there.”
“I don’t think that eyelashes are the most noticeable things, I’m not shocked.”
He let out a small laugh at that. “So you had to look closely to notice it, I take it?”
Y/N blushed again but hid it by brushing her hair out of her face. “Stop projecting,” she dared, looking anywhere but his eyes.
“I--what? Projecting?”
Draco’s sputtering would’ve been comical if his tone wasn’t so taken aback and surprised...something that poked Y/N harder than she would’ve liked it to.
“Kidding,” she quickly said, turning away from him to focus on walking straight.
“Mhm,” he mumbled rather discontentedly, but when she stole another glance at him, she could see a light filter of amusement settled over his face.
“You’re being awfully bold, you know,” he mused.
“What?”
“Accusing me of projecting,” he said, “when you were the one who saw me in the Mirror of Erised.”
While nothing he said was new information, the very fact that he dared to utter the name of the mirror startled her.
“I don’t know what you’re gett--”
“Can you just be�� civil for once and admit it?” Draco drawled, turning around to lock his eyes on hers. “You can stop playing games now. I know you know. Rena told me.”
“Rena...she...what?” Y/N choked out, the connection between her mind and her mouth failing. “What did she tell you?”
His painfully calm composure painfully contradicted her flustered one as he smoothly shifted his weight to lean on the wall next to her. “Oh, nothing important, really. Just everything.”
“And what’s that?”
“Ooh, why the fuss?” he prodded. “She told me everything. Is there something that you’re afraid of me knowing?”
The torchlight above them caught the slightest glint of amusement in his eyes, something that infuriated Y/N to the point where her embarrassment melted away.
“Well,” she snarled, “If you’re trying to make me fancy you less, you’re certainly putting forth quite the effort.”
All movement from the Slytherin ceased as he gaped at her, the amusement in his eyes now completely gone. “You....wait...”
“So she didn’t tell you everything,” Y/N responding dryly, allowed herself to lean back up against the wall.
“I thought she did. I thought you were being honest, though.”
“Honest when?”
“When you said you hadn’t seen me the last time you went to go see it.”
Y/N allowed her eyes, which were previously glued shut, to crack open just the slightest. The sight of Draco Malfoy awkwardly wringing his hands just a foot or so away greeted her.
“Hm. Whatever. It doesn’t matter anyways.”
She saw his throat bob as he swallowed hard before regaining his regal composure.
“Er, yeah. That’s true. Can we get on to our rounds? My feet hurt and I want to go to bed.”
“Whatever you say,” she muttered, pushing herself off the wall rather unceremoniously. It’s not like it mattered, anyways. He knew, and he didn’t seem like he had any plans with her included.
final a/n: whoooooaaaa boy. so i wrote the first few paragraphs in the beginning of the month, and finished the rest of it over a span of time. i have not edited, i have not tagged because i’m tired and just want to get this out there. there WILL be a part 5 and maybe even a part 6. i kinda want to use the fact that they are allowed to be unsupervised in the wee hours of the night to my advantage (no smut, but you know, fluff). i’m sorry that this one wasn’t nearly as good as the one’s i’ve done before. i have another fic i’m thinking of writing soon as well that i’ll most likely be doing over the weekends. once 2019 is over and all my college apps are in, chances are that i’ll have a lot more time to be writing on here :)

Hello 🥺I’m going around asking people that I follow if they can give any tips about “how to start a blog” such as yours, also what is your process for making headcanons/full length fanfics? Thank you if you answer this :D (btw I’m that anon with the plush fan fic series idea 😳)
OH HI BB! OMG AHHHH yes I’d totally help you out! I hope I can make this thorough!
So how to start a blog...honestly, every fandom is different about what they like I noticed. Some are more geared to hc, or full fics, (bnha is a mix of both I feel like+put a lot of enphasis on cool banners! I’ve been reading/writing for 3 years now, and I’ve never made a fic banner until bnha 😂)
The Blog!
Make it kinda aesthetic looking! Make it appealing and opening as best you can! Look at blogs you like and see what elements you like and use them as inspiration!
Having a masterlist is really helpful, as well as having a link of it in your bio is also really helpful for readers!
(If ya wanna be fancy, change your website on desktop to be more aesthetically pleasing, trust me, desktop tumblr looks atrocious when it’s not changed 😂)
HC’s
With hc, I like to keep it short and simple. Not a lot of imagery, more dialogue.
Headcannons are fun cause you get too put more sass in it! With mine, I’ll add in funny little comments to make it more comical if need be 🥰
I never banners for headcannons-I’ll use gifs or images that kinda “vibe” with how the character would act in whatever I’m writing
Fics
THE HUGEST LABOR OF LOVE
Fics-include EVERYTHING YOU CAN. The where, the why, The Who, the how-anythingggg to feel more realistic! How does the atmosphere feel? Warm, inviting, exciting, scary? Make it FEEL real
Also characters thoughts! GET THOSE DOWN. How would they react? What would they be thinking??? Also makes it more realistic!
Sometimes if I’m having trouble I’ll write the dialogue and then build upon there! It’s helps when my brains feeling fuzzy
How I format it is I’ll make the banner, and put all info , like word count warning, etc, authors note at top and then put a “read more” (only on desktop tho I usually format it on there). And then taggings and tags so the fic can be found! And then done! (Also tags-PUT A SHIT TON. JUST GO JACK WILDDDDD)
I hope this helped!

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE: MUN & MUSE
fill out & repost ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multimuses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
tagged by Stolen from: @warlordratchet
tagging: everyone!
MY MUSE IS. canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless
is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO.
is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.
is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.
are they underrated? YES / NO.
were they relevant to the main story? YES / NO.
were they relevant to the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.
are they widely known in their world? YES / NO.
how’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON?
I consider everything presented in the aligned canon as my Starscream’s canon backstory, but his current story diverges after the end of TFP and does not follow RiD. I made up stuff to fill in the gaps and tried to make it fit in well. Where there are contradictions in the Aligned canon (as happens frequently), I consider the novels Exodus and Exiles to be the most canon, followed by TFP, followed by the comics and video games. The Covenant of Primus or any other materials published after the beginning of season 3 of TFP are a secondary canon that I only pick and choose from, because they retconned and threw out the original story bible and setup, an action I didn’t care for.
SELL YOUR MUSE! (aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutual.)
Starscream is a walking roller coaster of emotions. His contradictions make him unpredictable, as he tries to navigate a world which would prefer to write him off as at best a cautionary tale, but whose future he still believes he has a right to shape. He craves relevance and recognition, but he’ll settle for infamy if pushed away too much. He misses the mech he was before he was broken, but seldom admits it to himself, and doesn’t want anyone else to know he’s struggling. Even though he’s trying to be on his best behavior, he still believes scheming and murder are perfectly viable solutions to most problems.
NOW THE OPPOSITE! (list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?)
Starscream is a paranoid and self-centered individual, so it can be hard to find reasons he’d engage with other muses. He’s a stubborn old butthead, is what I’m saying.
The fandom (and show writers) often reduce him to a one-note, weak character who needs others to step in for him, or whose motivations are simply power grabs. I don’t think he’s like that at all. His power grabs are intricate and his relationship with the idea of power (and powerlessness) is as tragic as it is fascinating.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?
Never in the history of fiction has a great character been so screwed over and tossed aside as TFP Starscream. The end of Predacons Rising left wounds for me that fanfic couldn’t heal, so I decided to give him a future worthy of such an interesting character. I wanted to keep him around, basically, and see where he could go if given a chance.
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?
I have a ton of ideas for him and endless “what if” scenarios to explore. He’s so much fun and never grows boring. I like that he can be serious or silly, sympathetic or a total asshole. He has boundless potential but he’s his own worst enemy. It kind of makes him hard to write at times, but there’s never any lack of ideas. Usually there’s too many and I take forever to settle on what he should do.
SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.
do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO.
do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO.
do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO.
do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO.
are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO.
are you confident in your writing? YES / NO.
are you a sensitive person? YES / NO / DEPENDS
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?
Yes but I prefer it to be relevant to my specific portrayal. Like there are times I know I’ve made him bend out of character to make a thread move along, so that would be something I’d take criticism on, so I could figure out ways to do that more smoothly. I don’t take criticism like “you’d get more interaction if you RPed ships”, which I thankfully haven’t seen in ages. People seem to have accepted my aro-ace birb and his eternal bachelorhood.
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?
I crave them with every fiber of my being.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
Not really. Everyone has different headcanons, so I’d be shocked if we all agreed. That’s kinda the point of headcanons. That being said, it is sometimes fun to discuss and debate different ones.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT?
Like a champ. I don’t mind if someone disagrees, though I would wonder why they felt a need to bring it up. There’s a bunch of Starscream blogs out there, so hopefully they’d be able to find one that suits their fancy.
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?
It’s funny, but I actually take hate of me and my writing waaaayyyy less personally than I take hate toward actual canon TFP Starscream. I hate the way people talk about him and dismiss him and tear him down. Like. It genuinely upsets me. Leave my bird son alone! When people direct hate towards me I kinda drink anon tears tbh. I don’t mind it, usually, and I can be as snarky as my muse.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?
I’d be fine with that. I’m good at grammar but not so good at typing, so if my brain goes faster than my fingers and I screw up, please let me know so I can fix it! In fact as I typed this very answer I skipped no fewer than three entire words, and it’s not that long of an answer!
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?
Most of the time. I know it probably doesn’t seem like it if you read my rather lengthy and specific rules, but I do give people the benefit of a doubt and I’m pretty friendly (but shy and terrible at remembering to return messages)

Daredevil 101: What Happened to Milla, Part 1
For the past while in Daredevil 101, Matt has been somewhat rockily married to a woman named Milla Donovan. Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that Matt is no longer married in comics continuity. What happened?
*sigh* “To the Devil, His Due” and “Without Fear” happened, aka Daredevil v2 95-105 by Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark. Aka an absolutely interminable parade of pointless cruelty riddled with dangling plot threads and misogyny. Yes, the team that gave us the masterful “Devil in Cell Block D” has now gone off the rails so hard that Amtrak is still working on the repairs. (Sadly, their run never improves, so strap in, I guess.)
Now, Milla is not exactly my favorite character, but very few things in DD history make me madder than the way she was written off. It’s so clear that Brubaker wanted to fridge her but realized he couldn’t get away with a fifth dead Daredevil love interest, so he figured out a different “fate worse than death” (hoo boy we’ll have to unpack that in Part 2). No price is too high for a woman to pay if it means Matt Murdock suffers, amirite?
And with that tempting introduction (?), let’s get into it!
Content Warnings: Ableism, sexual assault and implied threats of sexual violence.
We begin with Melvin, who is in jail thanks to having attacked Matt back when he was blackmailed into doing so. Specifically, we begin with Melvin in a room with a bunch of dead bodies he swears up and down he isn’t responsible for.
Matt and Foggy and most especially Becky Blake believe him and take his case, but just a few days later it happens again - Melvin is found surrounded by dead bodies and claiming to have no memory of what happened but that he didn’t do it. The psych eval doesn’t go well, in that, well, he passes:
According to the doctor, this isn’t Melvin being taken over by his Gladiator personality or an actual second person stepping in - this is just Melvin himself killing people. Which for Melvin’s legal team (and friends) is the worst possible option, of course.
Meanwhile, Milla appears to have taken up therapy:
Aside from what this story does to Milla and Melvin, part of what makes it so bad is the structure. This was partially due to a couple of company-wide crossovers that we’ll see marching through the book in a little bit, but also just lots of things being set up and then dropped without going anywhere. Here we see Milla in therapy, which is never returned to or discussed. The sinister way this is framed makes it clear that the person she’s speaking to is the villain of the piece, but the fact that he met Milla at therapy is never revealed or mentioned at all. Later in the scene he says something about how he hasn’t told his wife that he’s in therapy but he should stop underestimating her, which is clearly meant to get under Milla’s skin in regards to her relationship with Matt, but that kind of subtle manipulation is too interesting for this story and leads absolutely nowhere. And of course we don’t get to actually see Milla talking to her therapist, which would require her to have an interior life.
Which means we have an entire scene that could have been replaced with a single panel of Milla bumping into someone on the street that would have had exactly the same effect on the plot. And the pacing problems only get worse from here, folks!
Anyway. The state decides to move Melvin, but he escapes his prison transport - and attacks Matt, who’s been keeping an ear on things:
Melvin kicks the crap out of Matt and escapes, but Matt realizes that there’s something wrong with Melvin - it may not be the Gladiator taking over, but this isn’t his friend, either.
The next day, Nelson and Murdock receive a surprise guest: Lily Lucca, who you may remember as she of the Karen-smelling perfume who aided and abetted in multiple murders and lured Matt into a confrontation with Vanessa Fisk:
As you’ll recall, the perfume Vanessa gave Lily to entrap Matt with makes her smell like every man’s fondest memory [INSERT GIANT EYEROLL HERE], which is why Foggy’s falling all over himself here. But now she has a problem: even though she’s not using the perfume anymore, she still smells like it, which means men are constantly creepily following her around, getting into fights over her, etc.
This is...sigh. There’s an aspect of “female character is punished for using her sexuality” here that makes me super uncomfortable. Certainly 90% of comic book villains have some kind of monkey’s paw in their backstory (“I tried to make a cool suit of armor and now I have robot tentacles!” “I tried to cryogenically freeze my dying wife and now I am really cold all the time!” etc.), but there’s a way in which it’s weaponized against certain types of female characters that’s deeply gendered and often kinda rape-y. (I got this vibe with Debbie and Micah Synn as well.) Lily wanted to control men through their desire to her? Well, now they might desire her so much they’ll assault her! That’ll show her! I guess. Ugh, it just grosses me out.
Anyway, Matt reluctantly agrees to help her, or more specifically have Dakota help her, since she won’t be affected by Lily’s scent the way he and Foggy will. Even with this caveat, when he meets Milla for dinner she does not like this:
I think we’re meant to be reading Milla as not being entirely rational about Lily because she’s so jealous of Karen’s memory and Lily reminds Matt of Karen, but she’s not wrong. I have no idea if we’re meant to read Matt as being sort of a douche in this scene but if my husband was like “Keep your voice down” and “Don’t be so hyperbolic” I would walk out of that fucking restaurant.
Or run, as the case may be:
Matt distracts Melvin so that Milla can get away (lotta Ms in this storyline), then somehow quick-changes to Daredevil for a fight. Melvin knocks him out and Matt wakes up handcuffed in the back of a police car:
The cops are arguing because it’s the middle of Civil War, which didn’t touch the Daredevil book very much but Matt was firmly on the anti-registration Team Cap side, unsurprisingly. As an unregistered superhero, just being out in a mask made him a criminal. (They don’t do anything with the fact that his secret identity was basically an open book at this point, which would have been interesting.)
Anyway, The Mysterious Voice Speaking On A Frequency Only Matt Can Hear gleefully tells him that he left his wallet at the restaurant, which has his home address, which means Melvin knows where to find Milla. Of course, Melvin was one of Matt’s bodyguards when his identity was first exposed and definitely already knew where he lived, but whatever.
Milla is, of course, wandering around the apartment in nothing but a bra and panties when Melvin shows up, because Daredevil artists apparently love putting her in her underwear to terrorize her and this is the last chance they’ll have to do it.
Melvin takes Milla up to the roof to wait for Matt. I’m including this exchange, where Milla tries to talk him down by appealing to his better nature, because it’s basically her last moment as herself. Reminding others of their better angels has always been one of her strengths, and she deserves to have that highlighted before...everything else.
Matt shows up. Melvin throws Milla off the roof:
Matt miraculously saves her and returns to fight Melvin, but Melvin has pretty much given up at this point and it’s all over but the crying. He’s bundled off to maximum security, and that’s...well, that’s the end of Melvin. This storyline came out in 2007, and this sweet, interesting character who has been around since the Silver Age has been unusable ever since. So thanks for that, Brubaker.
Matt’s furious, and determined to figure out who did this to Melvin:
“What did your sensei say about fighting angry?” always makes me laugh. Also, why would you ever suggest Matt follow Stick’s advice, Foggy, honestly.
(Foggy is A+++++ in this storyline and it makes me mad that I can’t even enjoy it because he’s just frantically trying to salvage a steaming pile of shit the whole time. Also given the overall ableism in this story I’m a little :/ that he basically takes over being the functional adult like Matt’s incapable of it.)
Matt runs into another dropped plot thread here because he gets on the trail of a street drug that makes people angry, which, like, how would Melvin have even gotten that in prison anyway, especially nonconsensually? Also, every other depiction of this drug shows it putting the user into a senseless rage, but Melvin sure was able to find his old lair, put on his Daredevil costume, track down Matt, and kidnap his wife when the plot required him to. How very Guardian Devil.
Anyway, Matt starts tracking the drug to its source. Meanwhile, Milla shows up at N&M:
Yeah, from here on out Milla is all tears and hysteria. Sigh.
Foggy decides to take her home, and Lily tags along, even though Foggy thinks that’s a REALLY REALLY bad idea because a) she's upsetting Milla, b) she fucks with Foggy’s head, and c) every dude in the subway is going to be all over her. But Lily insists, because she’s...manipulative? Genuinely feeling guilty and choosing the absolute worst way to fix that? Flimsy plot reasons? Let’s go with flimsy plot reasons.
While waiting for the train, Milla pretty much loses her shit at Lily, and also the world in general:
“I don’t know what I’ve done to you” is pretty rich, Lily. YOU LURED HER HUSBAND ON A MURDER CHASE ACROSS EUROPE.
Meanwhile, Dakota is still trying to figure out where Vanessa got Lily’s original perfume from - and Matt has followed the drug trail back to the Enforcers, a bunch of goofy-ass Silver Age villains we haven’t seen in decades. (They are specifically named the Ox, Fancy Dan, and Montana. They are ridiculous.) They clobber him and take him to their leader:
LARRY CRANSTON. MISTER FEAR. He made the perfume. He drove Melvin insane. And he’s the reason behind what happens next:
Lily lives. The random bystander does not. And when Matt, having been literally thrown out of the window and into the garbage by Mister Fear, returns home, Foggy is waiting for him:
Next Time: Milla is taken into custody, and Matt searches for a cure.

Quarantine Tag Thingy
Yeah... yeah... I’m behind on this, but I don’t come on Tumblr often, and I’m still blown away by the support that @carryonthroughtheages has gotten, so my notifs are a little backlogged.
Thank you @f-ing-ruthless-baz for tagging me.
Are you staying home from work/school?
Staying home. I WAS working until last Friday... (I’m a bookkeeper/accounting assistant, and this is our busiest season). I’m glad my boss decided to send us home, because yeah... I was starting to get antsy.
If you’re staying at home, who is there with you?
My husband. His office closed a weeks ago until “TBD”... So, he’s been here, as well.
Are you a homebody?
Most of the time, yes. But I do tend to get stir-crazy if I’m home for too long.
An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
My city hosts a Beer Festival, and they were planning it for May this year. I don’t think they’ve officially cancelled it yet, but I don’t think it’s happening at this point. It is what it is, I can have fancy craft beer when this is over by going to my grocery store... Not gonna risk getting sick for fancy beer.
Same with my city’s Comic Con... I don’t think it’s officially cancelled yet, but I’d be surprised if they kept it going. I’d feel bad for the independent artists and vendors who were planning to attend, though.. So kinda hoping it doesn’t come to that (and if it does, that they can compensated, or something)
What movies have you watched recently?
So my husband and I have been making our way through the Ghibli catalogue. We’ve seen Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, Totoro, and Kiki (though, the last three were seen years ago, we’ve been continuing our journey). If anyone has suggestions, let me know! (Just nothing soul-crushingly sad... I know Grave of the Fireflies is a masterpiece, but I’m just starting to climb out of a dark place and I don’t want to risk going back)
What music are you listening to?
So much Beatles. I’ve been on a serious Beatles spree, listening to all the Spotify Beatles playlists. BTW, for anyone who’s read my latest fic, Simon’s singing voice, to me, sounds like George Harrison (specifically the song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” from the LOVE album (that remixed album they did for Cirque du Soleil).
What are you reading?
Currently catching up on all the epic fics that I haven’t read yet. I started @thehoneyedhufflepuff ‘s epic fic “Between The Lines” not too long ago, and I’ve been getting through that (THE HELL TOOK ME SO LONG?).
I’ve also been catching up on my commenting on fics. I’ve only been managing to comment on @ninemagicks amazing “Howl” fic (and I’m even behind on that! Sorry, Love). So, hopefully that will improve... Still, there are many authors I love that have been banging out fics, that I’m trying REALLY hard not to get overwhelmed...
What are you doing for self-care?
Related to the above question. If I’m tired, I won’t force myself to write, or read fic, or comment. I’ll take an evening to watch videos, or (like last night) paint my nails (holo is healing... as is unicorn skin... shout out to those who got the reference). As well as limiting my time on Tumblr and remembering to log off after a couple of hours (and stay logged off... that one’s trickier to remember, especially now that I’m interacting with people again).
Please stay safe out there friends, I send you my love.
Edited: Because I'm a moron who screwed up the name of one of the biggest fictions in the fandom right now... I am so sorry... 😔😔

AU Thursday: Tell Me Where To Find Shelter -- Layers of Victor
Saw this meme going around the #fallout4 tag a while back (I believe I specifically ganked it from @radbeetle), and thought it might be fun to do for my Sole Survivor!Victor. And my Malkavian!Alice, but let’s start with SS!Victor. XD
LAYER ONE: THE OUTSIDE
- Name: Victor Fitzwilliam Van Dort
- Eye Color: Very dark brown – it can be very hard to tell the difference between pupil and iris!
- Hair Style/Color: Black, generally combed back with two "tufts" of bangs falling over what little forehead he has
- Height: Six feet three inches (and thin as a rail)
- Clothing style: Relatively formal pre-War – he grew up in a household that impressed upon him that you wore ties and suits whenever you were in public, and often even in private. Post-War, he spends a lot of time switching between a pair of upgraded Vault suits from Vault 111 while looking for clothes that actually fit his lanky frame. He's a lot more casual in his style once he does – though he still likes a good sweater vest, and he keeps a few suits if he needs to look fancy.
- Best physical feature: Victor would personally say his hands – he's a pianist and a tinkerer, and he appreciates his long reach over a keyboard, along with his ability to finely handle delicate parts when upgrading or repairing things!
LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE
- Fears: Total darkness (as in you can't see ANYTHING – as long as there's some sort of light source, he can manage); blindness (related to previous); small enclosed spaces (being locked in a cryonic pod will do that to a guy); losing those he cares about again (he – has a lot of trauma from seeing Victoria shot, Shaun kidnapped, then trying to open Emily's pod after he finally got out, only to see her corpse half-rotted inside)
- Guilty pleasure: Pre-War, it would have been comics – he was always a little embarrassed about how much he continued to like the adventures of Grognak and the Unstoppables and whatnot after his teenage years (not helped by his mother sneering at the stories). Post-War, though, he ditches the "guilty" part – especially after meeting Kent Connolly and getting to play Silver Shroud. XD I'm not sure he has one post-War – he occasionally feels weird about how much he enjoys modifying his weapons and armor? But that's quite practical as well as pleasurable, so. . .
- Biggest pet peeve: Being rapidly promoted in organizations that he's only just joined (Preston, you're easily one of his best friends, but SERIOUSLY, dude, GENERAL?)
- Ambitions for the future: To continue keeping his little portion of the Commonwealth safe, and start training up someone with some more Charisma to be the General of the Minutemen once he retires (he's still not sure why people follow him when he's so socially awkward)
LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS
- First thoughts waking up: Depends on what wakes him up. If he's waking up on his own, it's generally a variation on "Breakfast? Where breakfast?" If someone else wakes him up, it's generally "Why are you shaking/licking me, I don't wanna get up yet." And if it's combat nearby, it's generally "SHIT WHERE'S MY GUN oh wait are they shooting at me still should find gun."
- What they think about most: All his various responsibilities – finding his son, acting as General of the Minutemen, working with the Railroad, helping the people on the settlements, wondering what the hell is going to happen between him and the Brotherhood of Steel, or him and the Institute. . .it doesn't do much for his anxiety, is what I'm saying.
- What they think about before bed: If he's not exhausted enough just to collapse onto the nearest sleeping surface, then probably what I mentioned above. He's probably up late trying to plan routes to help settlements that have called for assistance and follow leads on the Institute and whatnot.
- What they think their best quality is: Victor would consider it his willingness to be helpful whenever possible. He generally enjoys helping people, and it makes him feel better in general to help improve the Commonwealth in some small way. (Not to mention, him helping out personally with the problems of a lot of the families/communities in the Commonwealth has earned him a lot of friends for his Minutemen! A General so hands-on seems to impress people.)
LAYER FOUR: WHAT’S BETTER?
- Single or group dates: . . .this gets a little harder to answer when he was in a polyamorous relationship pre-War, you know. XD But yeah, Victor prefers one-on-one, or one-on-two in the case of Victoria and Emily. A group date puts the pressure on him to perform like the perfect boyfriend/husband, and he doesn't need the extra stress. Maybe he'd be okay with a double date if it was with some very close friends.
- To be loved or respected: Victor would rather be loved, or at least liked – though part of that is low self-esteem telling him people aren't going to respect him. (Or like him, for that matter.) It's what informs his desire to help people, at least in part.
- Beauty or brains: While Victor isn't immune to a nice face or body, he really likes having someone he can talk to about stuff. Sharing interests is fun, and he appreciates someone who will at least try to keep up with his nattering on about butterflies and robots and whatnot.
- Dogs or cats: Dogs! Victor gets along decently with cats, but he is first and foremost a dog person. He had a dog named Scraps when he was a child, and he, Victoria, and Emily were making plans to adopt one before the bombs fell. Meeting Dogmeat at the Red Rocket really helped pull him out of his post-War "almost everything I knew is gone and I'm a stranger in my own state" funk.
LAYER FIVE: DO THEY?
- Lie: Yup. Victor will tell the usual social "white lies" (even if he's not very good at them), and he's done bigger lies in the past – like not telling his parents that Emily was more than their "roommate." (Of course, that was done not to have a family blowout about him and his wife having a girlfriend.)
- Believe in themselves: Not usually – as stated, Victor has pretty low self-esteem, thanks mostly to growing up with a mother who was criticizing him and everything he was when she wasn't absent doing social climbing stuff. It's hard for him to think of himself as being someone who has worth, sadly. He gets better when he starts seeing more results of his actions in helping the Minutemen and the Railroad, and realizes he's genuinely making a difference for people.
- Believe in love: Yes – his relationship with Victoria and Emily was one of the high points of his pre-War life. He was utterly heartbroken when Victoria was shot, and Emily later died due to the life support to the other pods being cut off. But then later he meets Alice, and. . .well, it takes some time, but he manages to come around to loving and being loved again.
- Want someone: Pre-War, not really – he was in a happy threesome and wasn't currently looking to expand. Post-War, most of his life precludes wanting anyone – though he does develop a bit of a crush on Piper as time goes on. And then, of course, he meets Alice, and eventually ends up wanting her. . . (Yes, in-game I intend for him to romance Piper – and there's a chance in the AU he, Piper, and Alice would end up in a poly situation. We'll see where this goes!)
LAYER SIX: EVER?
- Been on stage: Pre-War, never officially – Nell had him play piano at some of her parties (which was always stressful, as he felt all her guests were either judging him or just hated him for being related to her), but that was as far as performing got. He of course had the speech he was asked to do that he was practicing the day the bombs dropped, but – well, the bombs dropped. Post-War – he probably will have to give some inspirational speeches to his Minutemen troops, which he will somehow get through and then go have a little quiet panic attack somewhere.
- Done chems/drugs: . . .I have occasionally toyed with the headcanon that Victor was unwillingly dosed with Psycho, or a drug like it, back in his Army days and has been haunted by the experience ever since. But other than that, not the hard stuff – Victor doesn't even smoke (he tried once – after nearly coughing up a lung, he refused to ever try again) and he tends not to drink (he's tried that too, and discovered he's an embarrassingly chatty drunk, so he doesn't typically indulge). He will, of course, take Rad-X and Rad-Away, because those are freaking necessary to survive in parts of the Wasteland.
- Changed who you were to fit in: Occasionally attempted, never stuck. He's not good at keeping up a facade. One of his most embarrassing memories is trying to ask a girl to dance at a party his mother dragged him to when he was about 16, imitating the more popular "jock"-kinda guys, and getting laughed at so much he retreated to the buffet for the rest of the night.
LAYER SEVEN: FAVORITES
- Favorite color: Blue
- Favorite animal: Dogs, butterflies
- Favorite movie: Victor will confess to a love for schlocky monster movies, so he was quite enamored of Night of the Fish Men's Revenge when it came out (he's quite excited when he sees it in the projector in Eden Meadows Cinema, and quite sad that he can only get it to play the title screen). He also enjoyed Another Day In the Monster Factory for much the same reasons.
- Favorite game: With his affinity for comic books and a secret love of roleplaying (which becomes not-so-secret once he starts Silver Shrouding), Grognak & The Ruby Ruins quite appeals to him. He likes that it has some replay value too, with changing up your party and whatnot. The action of Pipfall appeals to him too, though that time limit can be stressful!
LAYER EIGHT: AGE
- DOB: June 9th, 2050 (he was 27 and a few months when the bombs dropped)
- Day of their next birthday, they will be: His next birthday according to the game would be June 9th, 2088 – he'd be 238 in terms of time passed, 28 in terms of biology
- Age they lost their virginity: Twenty – Victor had been yanked by the Army into Canada to help with the Sino-American war shortly after graduating high school, but got some leave around his twentieth birthday to go home. He immediately caught back up with his high school sweethearts, Victoria and Emily, and ended up doing the deed with Victoria. They managed to keep it a secret from their conservative parents, fortunately.
- Does age matter: In general? Victor is willing to listen to advice from those older than he is, certainly – though he tends to take it with a grain of salt depending on their obvious biases. In a relationship? Unless one of the parties is a minor, Victor won't get involved, though bigger gaps will probably make him wonder what exactly they see in each other. (He allows this is hypocritical of him to a degree, as Alice is much older than him even taking into account the freezing – but on the flip side, she was Embraced at 20, he was frozen at 27. . .)
LAYER NINE: IN A BOY OR GIRL
- Best personality: Victor likes people who are sweet and kind, but have a tougher or sassier side to them as well. Victoria leaned mostly toward the "sweet" side, but was also pretty determined when it came to getting what she wanted from him; Emily was cheerful and enthusiastic, but if you angered her – wooo boy; Alice of course is snark incarnate, but is kind to people and generally likes helping others. Even Piper is one of the kinder companions, but doesn't shy away from sarcastic comments.
- Best eye color: Well, Victoria and Emily both had blue eyes (of differing shades), and Alice's green eyes were one of the first things that struck Victor about her, sooo. . .blue or green!
- Best hair color: I'm not sure Victor has a preference here – Victoria was a super-light brown, almost gray; Emily was a blonde; Alice has dark hair that looks black or brown depending on the light/how well cared for it is (and she says her hair was almost red when she was a kid!); Piper has dark brown/black hair. I guess pre-War he went for lighter; post-War he goes for darker?
- Best thing to do with a partner: Victor likes finding some sort of creative interest they can share, or at least do at the same time. He would sit in the living room and draw while Victoria embroidered in the afternoons; and he and Emily both played piano, so they'd often have little duets. With Alice, he probably ends up illustrating some of the stories she tells – maybe eventually they throw together a book of sorts, with Piper's help!
LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE
- I love: Alice! And the rest of my friends too, of course.
- I feel: completely out of my depth, most of the time.
- I hide: how anxious all of this makes me – not sure how well I'm succeeding, but. . .
- I miss: the life I had before, in Sanctuary.
- I wish: that Victoria and Emily hadn't – that t-they were still here to meet the friends I've made.

@yaoimtl thanks for tagging me, this was really hard, at first I was like wait there are 10 different media types? Mind blown lol
Anyway so the tag game is something along the lines of list your 10 favourite characters but they have to be from 10 different media types ... I am not entirely sure I have met these parameters but here goes :
1. TV - Captain Holt from Brooklyn 99, he is just hilarious I nearly spat my drink out the other day when he said 'I just count my steps in my head like a regular person...'when talking about pedometers.
2. Graphic novel - Empowered from Empowered by Adam Warren because she never gives up
3. Theatre - Phantom of the Opera from Phantom of the Opera because he is a complete arsehole but his voice is amazing, I prefer Raul as the love interest though, he's a sweetheart
4. Books - Jane Eyre from Jane Eyre, I love a strong female lead and she's probably my favourite
5. Film - the butler from Clue, Tim Curry is brilliant in this and this is my favourite film
6. Anime - Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist because he's a badass and the way he takes down Lust is brutal
7. Audiobooks - Nick from Superpowereds by Drew Hayes. He's just brilliant, such an asshole and he knows it, he's not a good guy but he will do anything to protect those he loves.
8. Live comedy - Eddie Izzard, he is hilarious plus I really respect all he does for the LGBT community and current forays into politics
9. Games - Bigby Wolf from the Wolf Among Us. kinda cheating here as I don't play many games at all so this is technically a comic book character I like and I only played this game because I like the comic.
10. YouTube - Chris Broad from Abroad in Japan, because I wanna go to Japan and I find him really relatable
Ok, phew that was difficult. Anyway I tag @mi-no-wa @notthatiwilleverwriteit @el-pintor @geoviki take part if you fancy it
