Hypocrisy in the TMNT Fandom
I may come back to this topic at a later date, but I feel like I need to address the hypocrisy in the TMNT fandom when it comes to how 12 Donnie is treated for his crush on April, compared to other characters such as Bayverse Mikey and Mutant Mayhem Leo, or I might explode. Do I condone everything that 12 Donnie does in the name of his crush on April? No. Do I sometimes find the cringiness of his actions unbearable (keeping in mind that he is my favourite character in 12)? Absolutely. But is there context behind his actions that often gets ignored? Yes. Do the fandom vilify or make fun of behaviour from him that they let slide in other characters? 100% yes.
People love to bash 12 Donnie for his actions, without even considering the reasons behind them (poor choices from the show writers aside). April is the first human his age that Donnie really sees and gets to interact with. He's a deeply insecure character, who feels out of place even amongst his family and, as people have pointed out before me, April represents a wider level of acceptance to Donnie. If a pretty human girl can love him, maybe there is hope for him gaining wider acceptance from humanity. I do think he has genuine feelings for her, but I also believe that part of his obsessiveness is a desire to be more human, or at least be accepted by humans, and he subconsciously views gaining the love of a human to be a part of this. 12 Donnie (like most Donatellos), is keenly aware that he will never get what he wants, or deserves.
He is a genius, and that will never be acknowledged by the world. He will never get everything a human genius would get. He doesn't get go to school, or go shopping for new resources, or make friends who share his interests. He risks his life saving the world over and over again, only to be seen as a villain for the way he looks.
That's part of why he sees 12 Casey as such a threat, Casey is human and doesn't need the same level of acceptance that Donatello does. He already has everything that Donnie wants (he can go to school, make other friends etc), but yet he still wants to be with April. The first human to show Donnie any acceptance. One of the only people to even tentatively seem interested in Donnie's science. If April chooses Casey over Donnie, then that truly does mean that Donnie, as a mutant, and a nerdy outcast mutant to boot, can never find love or acceptance, (again, this would be Donnie's perspective, and it is not April's duty to validate Donnie's self worth by getting in a relationship with him - that being said, the mixed signals she sent definitely didn't help matters).
Also, his stalking is creepy, but this is a kid who grew up with no social interaction besides his brothers, watching shows that provably had dubious ideas of romance. All of his ideas of romance are influenced by media, which isn't exactly a healthy way to gain an understanding of how to express those feelings. And when he knows the exact distance to her apartment, I always thought that he was just insanely good at estimating distances? He's shown to be able to make advanced calculations around distances and things in seconds on the show, so this never really seemed that bad to me, even if the show itself deemed it creepy?
Moreover, for the most part, he does genuinely follow April when he believes she is in danger, or when she is distancing herself from them (again, absolutely not a healthy thought process, but he misses her and wants her safe, and thinks is the best way to handle it). Is it still wrong? Yes. But should Donnie as a character be completely dragged for this for eternity? Not really. Also, can we please move past reducing Donnie's character to nothing more than his failures at flirting?
There is also the fact that April definitely did flirt back with him on numerous occasions. Whether or not this was done consciously, or to manipulate him, or whatever, is a rant for another day, but 12 Donnie definitely does have reasons to believe that April could want a relationship with him. She kisses him, on the mouth, right after he had told her that he was going to stop with his behaviour.
People also genuinely forgive 12 Leo flirting with his sister more than they do Donnie calling April his sweet chinchilla (and yes, Leo and Karai are still flirty even after the reveal that they are siblings, though it is thankfully toned down later on, and though I've seen people jumping through hoops trying to deny it). And Leo's flirting with Karai (even before the reveal), is equally as cringy as Donnie's. He's the poster boy for the 'I can fix them' mentality, even when the person he was trying to fix was actively trying to destroy everyone he cared about. 12 Leo also puts his brothers in danger due to his obsession with Karai, hurting them both physically and mentally, but a lot of people sweep this under the rug and only focus on times that 12 Donnie puts the others in danger due to his crush on April, or see this as a positive thing, showing how Leo never gives up on the people he cares about.
Moving on, 12 Donnie can be possessive of April (again, not great behaviour, and not something I particularly enjoy or condone), but 12 Mikey is the same way about Renet, and no one mentions it? Donnie hugs her (or says he could hug her, I can't quite remember the exact context), and Mikey gets all pissy about it? He's known Renet for barely any length of time, and they have no relationship at this point, but he gets annoyed at Donnie having a friendly interaction with her, as if it hasnt been well established that Donnie is only interested in April? Why is this more acceptable than when Donnie gets annoyed at Casey (a confirmed love rival), shows off about being close to April?
Additionally, why are Bayverse Mikey and Mayhem Leo hardly ever given the same treatment as 12 Donnie? I see countless crossovers where 12 Donnie is given endless shit for his bad flirting, especially as it's towards someone who the other counterparts see as a sister figure, with hardly any of them ignoring how unfair it is to criticise 12 Dee for seeing April differently to the others when their circumstances are different, or bringing up anyone else's behaviour.
Bayverse Mikey is just as bad! In fact, some of the things that he says are far worse than anything 12 Donnie has said, and it just gets brushed over? Even in crossover fics where 12 Dee gets slaughtered for his crush, no one brings up the downright crude things Bay Mikey says?
He constantly calls her a babe (I think 90s Mikey also makes similar comments), and even says 'she's so hot I can feel my shell tightening' which is hella gross tbh. Sure, 'sweet chinchilla' is weird, but it's far less demeaning than babe? And Mikey keeps this attitude up throughout both films? Why is this treated as being more acceptable than 12 Donnie's behaviour? This is even worse as Bay April is clearly an adult compared to the teenage turtles, and is clearly depicted as an older sister figure. At least in 12 there is only a year age gap, and neither April nor her father had anything to do with them when they were babies.
Hell, a few chaarcters (I think 03 Mikey and either 90s Raph or Mikey) make a joke about getting to 'keep her' when they bring an unconscious April back to the lair, and no one bats an eye?? It's played off as a joke, but even so, it's still freaky, and I've never seen anyone mention it before. They don't even get admonished for it!
Also, Mayhem Leo is absolutely just as much of a cringefail flirt as 12 Don, but everyone is acting like he comes across as so much better?! We've only had one movie with him so far, but his behaviour so far isn't all that different to 12 Don's?
They basically act the same way upon their first meeting. The rooftop scene when he first sees her is almost exactly the same as the scene in 12. And the comment about her beautiful, perfect mouth? If 12 Donnie said that he'd be slaughtered, but because it was Mayhem Leo, it's considered cute? When 12 Donnie gets super excited about getting April's number even though they already have it on the fridge it's embarrassing, but when Mayhem Leo tries to get Mayhem Donnie's phone to swipe her number it's endearing? Both ramble and get nervous around her, but people think this is sweet from Mayhem Leo but annoying from 12 Don.
Plus, Mayhem Leo has far more experience with humans than 12 Donnie. He has been going outside of the lair for a while, he has definitely seen other girls before. In 12, Donnie had never left the lair before the night he saw April, she's genuinely the first girl he's ever seen in person.
This point may also be a little unfair as we only have the Mayhem movie at the moment, compared to entire seasons of the 12 TV show, but it's also irritating me a bit how many people are acting like Mayhem Leo has far more of a chance with April than 12 Donnie did, purely because she agreed to go to prom with him, ignoring her line about how it was just as friends, and the many instances in 12 where April reciprocated Donnie's flirtation (again, April kissed him on the lips in the cartoon. It is canon that she did so).
Why are there so many double standards around the turtles having crushes? Either address all of their behaviour, or stop throwing 12 Donnie's flirting in our faces. It's exhausting seeing people openly bashing 12 Donnie, ignoring all of his great characteristics due to his crush, and then turning around and glorifying 12 Leo, Bay Mikey, or Mayhem Leo, or just ignoring their behaviour. It's grating to see almost every chat fic (even ones I thoroughly enjoy!!), have a seemingly obligatory bash 12 Donnie's crush and flirting chapter, yet hardly ever address the way any of the others behave.

With a tall boyfriend<3
Characters: tanjiro, Zenitsu, inosuke, nezuko, genya, sanemi, giyuu, obanai.
Genre: fluff
Pronouns: male
Warnings: swearing.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Tanjiro
Absolutely loves it. But mainly loves the piggy backs or sitting on your shoulder.
Makes him feel safe or comfortable. Maybe even both.
Doses tend to blush easy because of how you easily tower over the poor boy.
He will make you hug him though he doesn't need too. And oh my fucking god. I you pick him up while hugging him. Jzbsjaoqw. He falls for you all over again.
With your height also involves a lot of body heat. And let me say this.
He. Loves. It. So. Much.
Overall 10/10 on him loving your height.
Zenitsu
Quite scared at first but slowly learns he fucking loves it.
When I say loves it I mean to the point where he WILL climb on you.
Steals a shirt or to and says its 'because he doesn't have any.' but he just loves how big they are on him.
Cuddles in bed is a MUST. no exceptions. He loves the be hugged from behind so it's quite obvious that if you guys are spooning he would be the small one.
Your body warmth does tend to sometimes get to much. Especially in the summer. But other than that he loves it.
9/10 on loving your height.
Inosuke
Oh boy.
He think your height is your way of saying fight me. 😐
But is surprised on how tall you really were.
Definitely hates loves hugs. Just because you have to really bend down to hug him proply.
Makes him feel extremely small. And weak. But for some reason he doesn't not like it. He feels welcomed by it almost.
Play fighting is a must with this man. If he beats you, you'll never hear the end of it. He feels powerful after being you down.
You and Inosuke's body is almost the same temperature so it doesn't really work him to much.
9.5/10
Nezuko
Like her brother she lives it.
Hugs are nezuko's favourite part of it. She feels so small and so warm.
Will cling onto you when you guys take walks. Ether that or you pick her up.
Another favourite part is just your's and her size difference in everything. Hands mainly.
When you guys hold hand she feels like it's just so tiny and yours is protecting hers somehow?
Nezuko loves to sleep so when tanjiro goes out in missions she tends to sleep with you alot. (Not in that way😒)
11/10 on the love metre
Genya
Another one who adores but hates your height.
He hates it because whenever you're around he just can't stop blushing and stuttering.
Poor genya.
Tho I feel like he is one to wear your shirts to bed just because of the baggyness.
Genya will die if you hug him from behind, but only in private otherwise he'll be pretty awkward.
He loves your body heat during the night and rather like to lay on you chest or cuddled up together (face to face embrace)
He purely loves your height but don't know it :( 8.5/10
Sanemi
Fr thinks of you as someone who he can take down.
Hates your height most of the time because it makes him feel weak and small.
Hugs from behind wether he gives them or receives them.
You body temperature is completely different. Sanemi's body run cool while your body is basically a oven.
He would rather you cuddle him that the other way around. Especially during the colder nights.
Wears your shirts to bed wether you like it or not.
7.5/10 tho he adores you height when he wants to.
Giyuu
He someone who is used to people being taller than him, and he doesn't mind.
Tho he is in love with your height.
Sure you may be a bit if not a lot taller than tengen but he loves it.
There is a very large gap in your heights but he find the gap perfect.
He will on occasion wear your haori but that's only when his is being washed..
When y'all first hugged he swears that his stomach and heart was going to explode.
Now it's a must when ever you or him come back from a mission.
When you guys cuddle it is almost always the same. Him being curled up on you side with your arms easily wrapping around him:(
On the colder night he would just....lay on you. Like full in become a small blanket.
11/10 he is in love all over again.
Obanai
Another one who is used to people being alot taller than him. He says he doesn't mind but deep down he minds.....a lot.
But when he met you. Oh man.
You were like double his size. That definitely made a spark somewhere tho he threw it off as nerves.
As we all know he didn't really let people in so when you guys started dating there was no hugging, kissing or even cuddling at the start.
Tho after you guys slept together (sleeping🙄) he was all like 'this is nice. I want to be around him more' even if he never said it.
He likes your hugs mainly because he feels safe and forgets about the world around you and him.
Your bodies warmth is definitely soothing for him. So when ever he has nightmares he goes to you for comfort.
You height also is comfortable for him. Sue it makes him feel small but it also makes him feel like you protecting him. He didn't get much of that as a kid.
Over all 9/10. He sometimes relies on you for comfort. :(
Sorry if this is bad. I feel kinda sick rn. But anyways. And sorry for not posting in ages I've been caught up with stuff.

Not gonna lie I miss y/n darlington
Comfort book 🥹
Girl(Neutral), same!!
Can’t believe Wattpad, smh.
That book was my favourite place to go when I needed comfort from my amazing readers <3
And I had such tragic plot twists and a heart-churning ending planned to offer more emotional damage, lol.
One of my plot twists/ending was actually so sad that even I, myself (The cruel author), broke into tears for a good 10 minutes.
And I might come back sooner or later with a newer updated version of the book that isn’t so boring but has the same brilliant plot.
But since I feel bad for my lovely readers, I guess I’ll include some Yandere headcanons for one of the more yandere-ish characters ;)
(Keep in mind, the ending in these headcanons is not the actual ending)
Stay, Darling ~ Harry Potter ~
Stay Darling

Paring: Yandere Harry Potter x Reader
Type/Words: Headcannons ~ 757 Words

Synopsis: Just some regular pre and post hogwarts headcanons

Harry is a very impulsive person.
That's just how he’s always been.
Well, after he lost his patience with the Dursleys, that is.
Harry doesn't think twice about something before he does it, which explains the way he often spoke in a dark tone in front of you whenever you were to talk to anyone that Harry deemed bad.
Harry is also constantly jealous.
Like, VERY jealous.
He doesn’t care that he’s the chosen one and that everyone loves him and he has a whole mountain of gold in his Gringotts bank, and that he’s a brilliant wizard that has a significant mark in history, why are you talking to Malfoy?! >:c
It’s not cute.
At all.
Especially when you two start to enter the higher years at Hogwarts. (around year 4,5,6)
And Harry’s frustrations start to peak at the most normal things.
He starts to restrict you, a lot.
And you don’t even realise it.
He’s constantly gaslighting you into thinking he has the right to tell you what’s good and what’s not.
He’s always craving your attention and doesn’t want to share it with anyone.
And when we mix the fact that you were re-incarnated and had known and loved many others before him, into the pot, Harry nearly explodes.
He’s a selfish man-slut and is willing to do anything to make you stay with him.
So if you mention any nonsense like leaving him in the future after Hogwarts to enjoy/re-live your past or something, then you best run.
Harry will not allow anything like that.
He’ll force you to stay, and he doesn’t care what he has to do to secure the future with you and him.
First, he’ll try to persuade you, He’ll use any method.
Gaslighting, blaming, pretending to be the victim, anything.
Then, he’ll use oblivio on you.
If that doesn’t work or you somehow remembered, he’ll use amortentia.
The strongest, most powerful amortentia, all of it just for you <3.
He’ll apologise when you regain your memories after oblivio or when it doesn’t work and quietly sits you down.
He’ll go and make a cup of tea to talk with you about it. Let’s hope the amortentia doesn't sneak into the tea.
Harry would have a stone-cold expression when he’s adding more than enough amortentia to your cup.
He’s not smiling, no. Why should he?
You’ve rejected him over and over this far, this is what it has come to.
He has to do this… there’s no choice.
Now, while he’s making the “safe” potion, you’d have two options: Realise that Harry is crazy and a psycho and run away, considering your bags are already packed and you still have your wand OR hear him out and see if he would change.
If you chose to stay, due to the pity you had for Harry, well-... Fuck.
Harry would set the tea down and slowly watch with snake eyes as you’d drink the tea.
He’d slowly and softly explain the situation to you, slowly creeping his hand over to yours.
When your fingers touch, instead of flinching, your fingers lean towards him due to the effect of amortentia...
Then eventually, your fingers intertwined and so, your palms came together and you held hands from across the small table.
And you were now trapped, forever in his grasp.
But if you were to have realised Harry’s psychotic love, and had run away, Oh dear…
Of course, you aren’t gonna be able to run away without making a single noise, so when harry heard a little sound he called out for you and asked if you were okay.
When he didn’t hear anything, in a panic, Harry ran into the living only to find you gone.
Harry’s a fast man, and he knows apparition, so it isn’t too hard to catch you. And when he does, he uses a spell to tie you up in place and picks up your resistant body.
He’d bring you home, but by then the spell had worn off.
He cast a spell on you, causing you to fall on the couch, a deep sleep overtaking you.
And in a flash, Harry spots your wand before he reaches out for it.
This wand had saved you many times, Harry thanks it for that, but it also stuck around the whole time you were in love with others.
Jealousy takes over so he hold it tightly and breaks it in half.
Why would you need a wand when you have him?
Good night, love~
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoyed it <3

A Not-So-Hollow Christmas
~ A PrinceFox fanfic ~
Author’s Note -
prompt I seen from @jackstheprinceofhearts ! their account is amazing, especially if you are in some desperate need for broken heart content. thank you for posting your wonderful prompt! It was too cute for me to pass up
this IS my first post on tumblr, although this fic will also be posted to my ouabh collection on wattpad (my handle is jennacanread if ur interested!). I haven’t read tbona since the release date so I hope no one’s too out of character?
(obviously) spoilers for tbona | minor uses of swearing | set during the Hollow chapters and briefly after the end of tbona | not canon compliant
Summary -
After discovering Jacks isn’t the biggest fan of Christmas, Evangeline plots to turn him into a festive softy, even if it means making a few extra deals with a Fate.
Evangeline always had a sixth sense, just like how bells did. Although her sixth sense wasn't nearly as helpful as it was for bells. She could sense it when she woke up that morning it was time to start celebrating her favourite holiday of the year.
Christmas.
She squealed giddily as she launched herself out of bed, choosing a pretty Christmas-red dress to get festive, her pink hair blending nicely with the red silk. Evangeline slipped on some gold jewellery to spice it up before heading to the main area in the Hollow.
When Evangeline passed by the dining room, Jacks was already sitting at the table, sipping on a mug of spiced cider. He arched an amused eyebrow at her. "What's got you grinning like a fox?"
Evangeline snickered lightly at his wordplay. "It's Christmas season!"
Jacks amused expression fell. "Oh, of course you're one of those people."
"You don't like Christmas?"
He set his mug down on the table. "It's all awful singing, terrible gifts that no one wants, and distasteful decorations."
Despite Jacks's bahumbug attitude towards the holidays, it did not dampen her mood. In fact, all that rang through her mind was challenge accepted.
Evangeline was going to make Jacks enjoy Christmas, no matter what it took.
She took hold of his cold wrist, tugging him up. "We need a tree."
"We already have some outside."
"A Christmas tree, Jacks. We need to go hunting for a Christmas tree. A big one, to fit in the main room."
"Absolutely not."
Jacks was, unsurprisingly, being difficult. Evangeline had planned for this. "Alright, Prince of Hearts. I'd like to make another deal."
"You haven't even completed your first one." Although his tone was low, his mouth stretched into a grin.
"Think of this like a side quest. What do you want in exchange for a Christmas tree?"
He hooked a finger under her chin, tilting her head back slightly. Her heart picked up in speed. "Another night."
Evangeline's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. But before she could ask, he continued.
"Another night of you being mine."
Evangeline could have sworn her heart was going to explode from her chest.
Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea-
Evangeline hushed that voice in her head. She held out her hand. "Deal."
Jacks shook it. "Haven't you heard the warnings about making more than one deal with a Fate, Little Fox?"
"I'm choosing to ignore those warnings in favour of Christmas spirit."
Jacks bent his head to nibble the shell of her ear. "Bad choice."
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
It was the first time, Evangeline had realized, that she had been a distance from the Hollow since she arrived. They needed to find a Christmas tree farm so they could find the perfect tree.
Evangeline noted how rigid Jacks was beside her, his jaw was set, shoulders tight, and his gaze kept flicking towards her. Was there danger somewhere? Had she said something wrong since they left the Hollow?
Evangeline bumped him with her shoulder. "Why are you so tense?"
Jacks' eyes narrowed at her, blue eyes searching hers analytically. "Do you feel any different?"
"About what?"
His eyes fleeted to the sky a moment as they walked. "In general. Do you want to run away from me, Little Fox?"
Jacks was acting strange, and she didn't understand why. She tried to ease him with a joke. "Not anymore than usual."
He exhaled, breath visible in the chilled air around them. Jacks' lips formed a smile. His shoulders relaxed and his steps came more natural than soldier-reporting-for-duty.
Evangeline liked him a lot when he was happy. She tried not to. Tried telling herself that he was a Fate and it was such a bad idea.
Instead, she grabbed his hand.
Her mouth went dry and her head emptied as she realized what she had done, the only thing she could think about was his hand in hers.
Jacks removed his hand from hers quickly. "What are you doing?"
      His words sent her mind in a panic. Despite the snow falling and how cold it was, hot embarrassment fled to her cheeks, face aflame. "I was just... forget about it."
      Evangeline gnawed on her cheek, keeping her eyes ahead and refusing to look his way.
       That was when rough fingers fiddled with her hand until both of their fingers were intertwined.
       She looked up at Jacks. His eyes softened as he caught her gaze from the corner of his eye.
        Her lips parted into a wide smile that Evangeline couldn't contain. Jacks was holding her hand. There was something so intimate about the action, it shushed all of the warning voices in her head. His palm pressed to hers warmly, their arms lightly swinging in unison.
      Evangeline looked up from their hands to see Miller's Tree Farm.
        "We're here!" Evangeline exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the sign with the hand that wasn't holding Jacks'.
       "Alright, go pick one out." Jacks nodded towards the trees.
       "You have to help, too. It's part of our deal."
       He groaned as Evangeline tugged him forward.
       "Come on, you stubborn prince!" She laughed, using her strength to drag him.
       "Only because I never fail to uphold my ends of deals."
       Evangeline secretly hoped that he actually wanted to pick out a tree with her.
      "We have to find the perfect one, Jacks. It can't be any old tree. It has to be the tree."
      "Are you even hearing yourself right now?"
      "You'll know it when you feel it."
      Reluctantly, Jacks trailed beside her, hands still attached as they walked through the farm. Evangeline spotted a pretty tree around the corner. She dropped his hand to dash towards it.
      Evangeline heard him mutter Dead Saints, Little Fox, under his breath. She inspected the tree when she reached it, pine needles lightly prickling her hands as they moved along it.
      A mischievous thought popped up in her head when she realized it wasn't the right tree. She bent down to scoop up some snow in her hand before Jacks reached her. She stood up abruptly, hiding the snow behind her back.
      "What's wrong with this one?" Jacks looked it up and down.
       "It's too tall. But that one over there..."
       When Jacks turned his back to find the tree she nodded towards, Evangeline lanced the snowball at his fur doublet.
       Jacks' body went still. He slowly turned around, lips parted as an offended demeanour took over his face. He tilted his head at her as Evangeline brought a cold hand up to her face, trying to stifle her giggles. She failed.
      "You better run, pet."
       A deep belly laugh emerged from her mouth as her feet sunk in the snow quickly. It slowed her down, but it didn't stop her from rushing away from him. She dodged trees, weaving in and out of them as she tried to escape Jacks.
      The ice cold hit her back before the hard thump did. Evangeline squealed, her hand reaching at her back, freezing nipping at her hands. Melted snow slowly seeped through her cape as she turned around to see Jacks smirking proudly.
      She quickly formed a snowball in her hands, whipping it at Jacks swiftly. He dodged it with ease before stalking towards her, already hitting her again with another snowball.
     "No, no, no!" Evangeline eventually found a tree to hide behind, gathering her breath. She made another snow ball, waiting for Jacks to come from where he last seen her. But he wasn't in sight.
     Her heart pounded in her ears as her eyes darted around the farm. A flash of blond hair emerged and Evangeline ran towards him. She threw the snowball at his side, but the moment it hit him Jacks tossed one at her in exchange, landing in the middle of her chest.
      Jacks chuckled deeply, she imagined from how quickly her mouth drooped down.
      "I wasn't even ahead of you for five seconds," Evangeline whined, walking towards him in defeat.
     "Say it, Little Fox. I win."
     She sighed. "You..."
      Evangeline smooshed snow into his blonde hair. Jacks' mouth formed an o shape as his eyes squeezed shut, melted snow running down the back of his neck.
     "...Are tied with me," Evangeline finished, flaunting a pearly grin in his face.
     Jacks pulled her in by her waist, Evangeline's heart skipping a beat. "Trust me, pet, there will be another round, and you will lose sourly." One of his hands drifted to her rose gold hair, tangling it in his hand before tilting her head back. “And you’ll be sorry you pulled that stunt with the snow in my hair.”
     His fingers massaged her scalp briefly, a challenge lit up in his eyes. Just as Evangeline began to respond, she peered up at the tree they were standing in front of. "This one, Jacks. It's perfect for the Hollow!"
      He shifted his head to examine it. "You like this one?"
     "It's the right size, it's branches are in lovely condition, and it has a nice memory tied to it."
      "Then this is the one we'll get."
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
     After Jacks used his magic to persuade the owner to ship the tree over to the Hollow for free, Evangeline attempted to persuade Jacks to get decorations for the tree.
     "It's not a Christmas tree without ornaments, it's just a pine tree. You agreed to getting a Christmas tree."
     "I taught you too well," Jacks grumbled, shoulders brushing as they walked into the town square.
      Little sparks ignited everywhere Jacks touched her accidentally.
      Evangeline beamed in success. "Enjoying Christmas yet?"
     "No, still hate it.”
      Town square was decked out in every inch with Christmas decor. Lights glowed everywhere, trees, pine or not, were littered with all different sorts of ornaments, tinsel was strung everywhere, and a small band was playing Christmas tunes beneath a street lantern.
      Evangeline took it all in, joy filling her up from head to toe.
      "The North takes Christmas pretty serious."
      She twirled around, delighting in the festivity. "You're from here. What has Christmas ever done to you to make you such a scrooge?"
     Jacks shook his head. "Why do you like it so much?"
     "Stop deflecting the question."
      "I'm not. I'm giving you the answer."
     Evangeline worried her bottom lip between her teeth as they neared a shop selling decorations. "It gives everyone a reason to be merry. You get to spend time with your family, give and get gifts, amazing food, silly carols, funny, romantic kisses under the mistletoe..."
     Evangeline realized why Jacks did not like Christmas.
      "By all means, Little Fox, keep going. I just love those funny, deadly kisses underneath the mistletoe. It's a romantic experience as women drop dead in front of me." He gave her a wicked twist of his mouth, as if he enjoyed killing women, as if it truly didn't affect him. Jacks didn't even touch on the matter of family.
      But Evangeline noticed his eyes. Her father used to tell her how you found people's truths; in their eyes. She seen the forced smile in them, the hurt hidden behind it.
      "Jacks-"
      "We're at your ornament shop."
      Evangeline exhaled deeply, kicking the snow off her boots on the steps of the store before entering. Jacks did not have the same care about trekking snow in the store.
     "Pick out some ornaments for the tree," Evangeline urged him, searching for pretty ones too.
     "That wasn't part of our deal." Jacks side eyed her.
      She turned so that she was directly facing him. "Please, Jacks."
       He stared at her intently, but she did not break his gaze.
      "I'll make you cookies," Evangeline offered brightly.
      Jacks looked away, groaning. "For Fates' sake."
      She clapped, knowing he gave in to her. "Pick out some pretty ones!"
      As he walked away from her and to a different part of the store, he tossed his head over his shoulder. "They better be good cookies."
      There was an extra pep in Evangeline's step as she walked around the shop, finding some lovely green and red ornaments. She stuffed the box underneath her arm and continued her search.
      Fake icicles caught her eye, and Evangeline was entranced by them. They glittered when light hit them at the right angle, reflecting little rainbows. She tucked those under her arm too.
      After getting a basket and finding a few other ornaments, including a star topper, Jacks returned to her.
      He only said one word. "These."
       Evangeline peeked inside the box, eyes widening at his choice of blue and pink ornaments. There were even little foxes painted on some of them.
      "Aw, these are adorable!"
      Jacks glared at her. "Call them adorable one more time. I dare you."
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
     After popping cookies into the oven at the Hollow,  Evangeline spent the rest of her evening decorating the Christmas tree. The minute she tried to convince Jacks to help her, he scoffed not this time, Little Fox, and strutted away.
      Although he was hiding it well, Evangeline knew Jacks was starting to warm up to Christmas. Even if it was just the smallest hints of it, it was still something. But her challenge wouldn't be completed until Jacks truly enjoyed Christmas.
      After placing the last of the tinsel and ornaments on the tree, it was time for the star.
      Evangeline set her hands on her hips, contemplating how she would reach the top. She tried jumping, she tried dragging a chair over, but it was still just out of reach.
     "What, pray tell, are you trying to accomplish?" Jacks leaned against the door way to the main room, arms crossed as he regarded her amusedly.
      "I'm trying-" Evangeline hopped, "to reach-" she leapt, "the top!" She ran out of breath.
      She came to the realization that Jacks might put the star on top for her. He would decorate the tree with her!
      Maybe.
      "As much as I'm enjoying you bouncing all over the place, there's a much easier approach to this, Little Fox."
     "Uh huh," Evangeline raised her eyebrows challengingly. "And what's that?"
     Jacks took four large steps towards her, and when she thought he was going to take the star from her hand, he grabbed her waist gently, lifting her up and on top of his shoulders.
      Evangeline let out a gasp, heart picking up again.
      "Hurry up, your dress is in my face." Jacks' voice came out muffled.
      Her thighs were also around his neck.
      Evangeline quickly placed the star on top, breathing quickly. "I'm done!"
     He placed her back on the floor, brushing a cool finger over her cheeks. "It's so easy to make you blush."
      Evangeline poked his nose in turn, Jacks swatting her hand away. "Admit it. You're beginning to like Christmas."
      "Has this become a personal mission for you, pet?"
      A quiet ding interrupted them.
      "The cookies!" Evangeline grinned, rushing to the kitchen, slipping on a pair of oven mitts and removing them from the oven.
      She stepped back, admiring her work.
      "Christmas cookies?" Jacks' tone was flat and unamused.
      Despite how hot the cookie was, Evangeline picked one up between her fingers, ignoring the slight burn. "Ha! Look, it's Santa."
      Jacks darted his head quickly towards her and took a large bite out of the cookie she held. "Headless Santa now," he mumbled as he chewed on the sugar cookie.
      "Fiend," Evangeline retorted.
      Jacks reached for another one, but Evangeline smacked his hand. "I need to decorate them!"
      "Someone's going on the naughty list. It's not nice to hit people, Little Fox."
     "It's not nice to bite cookies out of people's hands, Jacks."
      "I'm already on the naughty list, why should I care?"
      "Shoo, unless you're going to help me decorate these."
      "I'd almost mistake you for a Fate with how many deals you're trying to make." Jacks walked away, obviously not interested in decorating.
      Evangeline sighed. She picked up the bag of icing she'd prepared earlier, piping little designs onto her first cookie. Her festive mood was beginning to dampen. Jacks really wasn't going to come around to Christmas, was he? Of course, no matter how hard she tried, she failed. He was a Fate after all. Why had she expected Jacks to look at Christmas different for her?
      One decorated cookie later, strong arms wrapped around her waist and a head leaned against her shoulder, the smell of apples and something distinctly male filled her senses. Evangeline could have melted into his touch, despite her earlier frustration.
      "I thought you didn't want to decorate. You know, since you despise Christmas."
      "Hush, Little Fox, or I might change my mind."
     Evangeline couldn't fight the smile on her face. He grabbed the icing bag, still leaning on her shoulder and reaching through her waist. Jacks tried to pipe a design, but he squeezed too hard, a bunch of icing coming out at once. He growled.
      Evangeline giggled. "Here, I'll squeeze, you keep your hands on mine, guiding the bag, okay?"
      Jacks grunted in acknowledgment, placing his hands over hers. He guided her slowly, drawing little snowflakes on the snowman shaped cookie.
      A warm feeling rose through Evangeline. "Next one."
     This time it was a tree. Jacks drew ornaments and lights, actually taking it seriously. They continued like that until all the cookies were decorated, and Evangeline couldn't have cared less that she only decorated one. She was elated that Jacks had partook in something festive without motivation. It also helped his hands were on hers and how his body fit with hers.
     He set down the piping bag, grabbing her hand and twirling Evangeline around, leaning her against the counter. "Happy?"
      "You have no idea."
      Jacks leaned in close, close enough that they were breathing the same breaths. His lips were dangerously close to hers. "Remember your part of the deal."
      Another night of you being mine.
      Evangeline hadn't a problem with it. She was already his, anyway.
      "I couldn't forget."
      Jacks laced his fingers with hers again, leading her to his room. On their way, Evangeline pulled him to a stop.
      "Mistletoe, Jacks."
      He looked up quickly at the strategically placed mistletoe above their heads. His eyes creased with worry. "Little Fox-"
      Evangeline stood on her tip-toes and pressed a kiss to his cheek, letting her lips linger on his cool skin. She hadn't known whether or not a lip-on-lip kiss would follow them outside the Hollow, and she didn't want Jacks to have to deal with that guilt, so she opted for his cheek instead. Evangeline had desperately wanted to feel his lips against hers. She wanted to have a true mistletoe experience with Jacks. But, as fate allowed, Evangeline would settle for a peck on the cheek.
      "There," Evangeline whispered as she pulled away. "Now you have a pleasant memory under the mistletoe."
      Jacks looked at her, really looked at her, with a vulnerability in his eyes that he rarely showed. His arms engulfed her and his head buried in her pink hair.
      "When we leave here for good, Little Fox, please do not forget this."
       "I'll never forget this," she mumbled into his shirt.
      He pulled away to look at her. "Mine."
      "I'm yours," Evangeline repeated as she had a few nights ago.
      Jacks scooped her up, carrying her to his bedroom, holding her close to his chest. She loved how delicately he held her, how careful he was.
When they reached his room, Jacks tugged on the hem of her dress in question.
Evangeline nodded wordlessly.
He lifted it off of her, leaving Evangeline in solely a tiny slip that didn’t leave much to the imagination. Although she was sure Jacks had seen much more of her when he bandaged her up a few nights ago. She reached for the buttons of his shirt, popping them off until the item of clothing was removed completely.
Jacks then laid her down, falling on the bed beside her.
Evangeline brushed a soft lock of blond hair from his face. "I know you hate Christmas for good reasons, Jacks. But the holidays are about spending time with people you care about. I know how good you are at hiding it, but I think deep down, you care about me, at least a little bit. So I hope I changed your mind about Christmas."
Jacks knotted his hands in her hair, bringing her head close. "I care about you a lot." He frowned. "More than I should."
Evangeline's eyes fluttered closed. "I care about you too."
"I know."
Their limbs began to tangle together as they shifted in the bed. Jacks held her as if she was about to be ripped from his grasp. Evangeline nuzzled her head in his chest, letting herself lull to sleep.
"Little Fox?"
"Mm?"
"Christmas isn't so bad."
"Jacks!" she whined against his skin.
"Fine. I like spending Christmas with you."
Jacks’ reluctant words reverberated through her head a million times. Finally. Evangeline had warmed him up to the holidays, even if it took a bit out of her. It made her cheeks hot that she knew she was the reason for his new take on Christmas.
She tilted her head up to look in his eyes. “I knew you’d come around.”
“Don’t you dare start up carolling, pet, or I will take back my previous statement. The tree in the main room will be destroyed before you wake up in the morning if you pipe up with those god awful tunes.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t dream of annoying Jacks of the Hollow.”
His hand smoothed over her hair idly and his voice was soft from tiredness. “Good.”
Evangeline waited until his eyes fluttered shut before murmuring quietly, “Deck the halls with boughs of holly fa-la-la-la-la-”
The hand that had been in her hair moments before clamped over her mouth. “Shut up,” Jacks groaned.
She laughed behind his hand, amused by his distaste for carols. Once her giggles died down, he removed his hand and closed his eyes again.
“‘’Tis the season to be jolly-”
Jacks rolled them over so that she was underneath him, his chest over top of her mouth. Despite her voice being incredibly muffled, she still sang.
“Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.”
“Are you done yet?” Jacks moved into a plank position, uncovering her mouth.
“Maybe.”
“You are insufferable.”
Evangeline smiled brightly at him. “Will you change your mind if you found out I got you a present?”
One of his eyebrows raised. “When?”
“When you weren’t looking. It isn’t much, but it’s something.” Evangeline shifted to reach beside the bed, pulling the small box out of her dress pocket. “Merry Christmas, Jacks.”
Evangeline didn’t think she’d ever seen his features so soft. Blond eyebrows knitted together, and his eyes regarded the present with a delicacy he’d only ever used with her. He moved them so that they both sat up, hands carefully holding the box she handed him. She bit her lip in anticipation of his reaction.
“Open it!” She urged, hoping he wouldn’t hate the gift inside.
Jacks pulled the ribbon around the box until it untied, popping the lid open and peering inside. His lips curved into a smile.
“I couldn’t think of what to get you, but you’re always dressing fancy, so when I saw those golden apple cuff links, I immediately thought of you.” Evangeline watched as his finger brushed over the cuff links curiously. “Everyone deserves a Christmas present, no matter how far down they are on the naughty list.”
His eyes flashed to hers, amusement laced in his expression. Still, Jacks hadn’t said a word.
“Well? Do you like them?” Evangeline demanded, palms beginning to sweat. She hoped from the bottom of her heart he adored them. That every time he would wear them, he’d think of her. His Little Fox.
“I do.”
Jacks spoke those two words with so much gentleness, yet so much force that made Evangeline believe there were a billion other things he wanted to say.
He set his gift on his nightstand, pulling Evangeline back down into a lying position. Jacks moved his lips over her neck, sucking and biting at her skin. She let out a moan at the feeling, at how fast he could send her brain into a frenzy.
“Thank you, Little Fox.” His words tickled her neck.
She hadn’t thought him capable of the words thank you.
“I’m glad you like them,” she whispered back.
Evangeline swore to never forget how soft he was at the Hollow. With her. How his expression turned so breathtaking when he looked at his present. At her. How badly Evangeline had wished she was his true love. She finally let herself fall asleep, a deathly pair of lips on her mind as sleep claimed her.
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Jacks looked up at the winter night sky sourly, wondering if the stars were laughing at him. How many times had they watched happily ever after be wretched from his hands so despicably?
This one hurt the most.
His teeth clashed together as Jacks grind his jaw, thinking of the way Evangeline had been taken from him. Jacks had briefly pondered over if things could have been different if he’d realized Donatella hadn’t meant to him what he thought she did sooner.
He’d never loved Donatella. She was never his true love. That Jacks was sure of, he felt it all the way down to his cold bones.
Evangeline. Sweet Evangeline.
Nothing had ever meant as much to him as his Little Fox did.
Jacks touched his golden apple cuff links, taking a small comfort in how the cold metal felt against his finger. He had many regrets over all of the things he never said to Evangeline. He especially wished he’d told her how much the gift meant to him. How much she meant to him.
No one had given him anything remotely close to a present in centuries. Jacks couldn’t even remember the last time someone had did something selfless for him, like giving him a present. It meant Evangeline cared about him, almost as much as he cared for her.
She hadn’t even done it in the presence of the Mirth stone. She’d been far from it when retrieving his cuff links. Evangeline had simply wanted to give him a Christmas gift.
Jacks was taken from his thoughts as the crunching of boots trekking through snow hinted at his ears. He turned towards her, hidden by the brick building beside him and the darkness it provided.
She sniffed loudly, the back of her hand coming up to wipe her nose.
“Nothing makes sense,” she cried to the sky. “Things aren’t adding up, no matter how hard I try. Every time I think I start to remember something important, it’s like I run into a wall!”
Jacks wanted to go to her, pull her close, whisper in her ear that it would be alright. How he wouldn’t let anyone hurt her. He’d torture whoever tried to lay a finger on his Little Fox.
“Apollo says he loves me, and I love him, even if I can’t remember. But… that feels like a kind of thing that the heart would remember. I just feel so alone. So empty. I don’t even know if I should trust him. He is my husband, so I should.”
Evangeline kicked the snow in frustration. “I don’t even know who I’m talking to. The stars?” She laughed humourlessly. “It just truly feels like I have no one.”
You have me, Little Fox.
Evangeline spun around. “Who said that?”
Fuck. He hadn’t meant to project his thoughts.
“Hello?”
Jacks closed his eyes, leaning into the wall so Evangeline couldn’t see him. When he first discovered she didn’t remember him, Evangeline became terrified of him. He was a fool to think Time let him off of the hook for how much pain he suffered. A bloody fool.
Jacks swore to himself he’d do whatever it took to return Evangeline’s memories to her. He would disembowel whoever had done this to her. Jacks vowed to become their worst nightmare. He would become the exact monster the stories about Fates made him out to be.
He heard Evangeline sigh. “Now I’m crazy, too.”
He felt sick for her. Jacks knew this was ultimately better than her being dead, but why couldn’t he just be happy for once? Jacks always knew Time would never have allowed them to exist, he should have never let himself hope that it might be different.
Hope. Hopeful Evangeline.
Jacks remembered when he was like her. Back before he realized he was never meant to be happy. Not for long, at least.
But he was happy with her. It was why he knew, in the end, they would never work. Curses couldn’t be deceived. They knew the truth. No matter how much one tried to hide it.
It was one week and one day from the end of Cold Season, marking it Christmas Eve. In a perfect world, he and Evangeline would be at the Hollow, curled up by the fireplace. Jacks would be kissing her breathless, and her heart would still be beating, beating fast for him. His would do the same.
He’d get her a gift that she’d squeal about, blushing furiously like the helpless romantic she was. They would both be happy together.
Instead they were here, in this awful mess.
“Evangeline, my heart, there you are!”
Jacks had felt the overwhelming urge to slash a knife through Apollo’s throat, to watch him beg and bleed mercilessly for how he was taking advantage of his Evangeline-
“Apollo! Sorry, I just… wanted to catch snowflakes on Christmas Eve.”
Apollo wrapped his arms around Evangeline’s waist, pulling her flush against him. Jacks should have walked away, saved himself from this pain. But it was as he told Evangeline before; broken hearts constructed masochists.
Apollo laughed. “How darling you are. Come inside, we’re about to sing holiday carols by the piano.”
Jacks remembered when Evangeline sang for him. She did it to annoy him, but Jacks always looked forward to her pushing his buttons. He would listen to every foul, off pitch, Christmas carol Evangeline sung if it meant that she would remember him.
Jacks had a fleeting idea.
Don’t trust him, Little Fox. He is not your friend. He is not your lover-
“That sounds lovely, Apollo.” Evangeline’s words were loud and held a warning to them.
It meant she heard him.
He just hoped she would listen.
Jacks really needed to stop hoping.
He watched as Apollo led Evangeline inside, a wet sensation trailing down his cheek as Jacks’ eyes burned.
Using the back of his palm to rub at it, his eyes quickly caught the gold flecked blood that now stained his skin. Jacks hadn’t even realized he was crying.
His breath shook as he inhaled. He closed his eyes, the image of Evangeline flashed before him. Jacks imagined her saying don’t lose hope, Jacks. Not when you just got it back.
There was nothing of equal value to him than her. He established that already. Jacks needed to get a grip of himself.
He would find Honora. She would be the best person to go to when it came to cures to curses like this. Although every time he seeked Honora’s help, it always ended miserably. Fate be damned. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Jacks would rack in his favours he built up over the years, and fuck it, Jacks was going to hope.
His fingers traced over his apple cuff links.
This Christmas would not be his and Evangeline’s last.

FENG XIN FOR CHARACTER ASK
(also sent by @chewiiez)
FENG XIN MY BELOVED
favourite thing about them: did i drastically overestimate how easy it would be to choose? yes. absolutely. but, his overwhelming loyalty was to what made me love him originally, so how could I say anything else. arm scene you will always be famous
least favourite thing about them: this one is a really difficult choice, because I like everything about him in the way it all makes him an interesting character. even when he sucks i still love him
favourite quote: I have no good reason for picking a random throwaway line from book 4 as my favourite. unfortunately it has not left my brain since i read it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
wonder archer…he’s so silly
brOTP: god he needs some friends. Platonic Xianle trio is one of my favourites. but since that’s also one of my ships for him, I’ve always thought that he and Yushi Huang could be good friends. getting to leave heaven and do some farm work could fix him. y’know. if he was less scared of women.
OTP: fengqing <3 they are making out forever in my mind
nOTP: another tough choice. i like so many feng xin ships in different contexts. is it cheating if i say fengqing but he’s been stripped down to have none of his character traits and is just a guy with a big dick who can fuck mu qing. if it is. uh. i would never read feng xin/ban yue but I don’t think that’s a ship that anyone has ever written
random headcanon: having canonically gotten a woman pregnant will not stop me from headcanoning him as transmasc
unpopular opinion: i have said this so many times but i will continue saying it forever. he is not a noble. if i see another person say he is im going to explode. i dont know where this came from. I dont know why this exists. i could write a 20 page paper with academic citations on why he isn’t
song i associate with them:
book 4 fengqing. to me.
favourite picture of them:
Tumblr media
teehee <3 <3 <3
Thanks for the ask!

🦋🌻💭📚💌
Thanks for the ask!
🦋 Which character is your favourite to write?
Joseph 100%. Normal over him. He's the main focus of almost if not all my fics regarding jjba. I want to branch out my fics. But he exists! Why write anything else when Joseph's there. So much to think about and delve into. I'm going to explode him in my mind <3
🌻 How often do you read your own fics?
...Not much, actually! Sometimes if I want to reread awesome comments I've gotten from readers I'll reread the fic (or part of it) so I can really love and appreciate the comment for loving and appreciating certain parts of the fic. I just. See all the flaws and things I could've made better after the fact so I just...don't. Can't feel bad about it if it's not there!
💭 What inspires you and your writing?
Dreams and life experiences! My dreams tend to be. Things for sure! So they're always a good thing to use to gain ideas for fics. My life has also been quite whacky! It gives me fic plot ideas too. And then sometimes it gives me ideas for stuff in a more workaround way. Like for example. I want to write a horror fic. I think about my biggest fears/the scariest things that have happened to me. I then write about those things! I understand why the things scare me/why the event was scary, and so I can effectively make a scary fic! And so forth for other things and situations.
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you reccomend?
Obligatory @kirstenonic05 reccomendation. If I don't take the opportunity to hype up a mutual of mine and reccomend their stuff I experience rapid organ failure.
That out the way. I know you like Sonic and because this is an ask game I'd orient reccomendations towards your interests rather than a general scope. And I don't really look at Sonic fics too much because man is it hard to find something I want to read. Ough. So I...don't really have much to reccomend here! There was this one Sonic Unleashed rewrite fic though...I just can't remember the name...let me look for it. Ah! It's Where's the Beauty in this Beast?  It's a very nice rewrite/take on Unleashed's plot. It's been updated since I last read it actually...oh my. I gotta go reread it damn I DIDN'T SUBSCRIBE TO THE FIC...DAMN... Anyways! The fic also explores what goes on with Shadow and GUN during Unleashed's events, and that's pretty neat! Always wondered how Shadow would be doing amidst all that.
💌 Is there a favourite trope you like to write?
Hmm...characters sharing a bed and sleeping together, I think! The intimacy is cool, allows for a lot of my thoughts on the characters to come out, it's a very vulnerable thing to do yk. I've written almost only ship stuff (most normal caejose enjoyer), but damn. I'm going to write sharing a bed and sleeping together and holding hands and that sort of stuff platonically. More of that sort of stuff needs to exist and I will provide it and NOBODY CAN STOP ME

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...
i definitely don’t mind, i LOVE getting asks so everyone please feel free to message me or send asks

my top 10 favourite characters EVER (in no particular order)
1. nick miller (new girl)
- he’s so chaotic and stupid and i relate to him so much, definitely one of my favourite comfort characters
2. andy dwyer (parks and recreation)
- also chaotic and stupid, i just think he’s funny and adorable, just generally wholesome, another favourite comfort character
3. loki laufeyson (marvel cinematic universe)
- he’s on that absolute king shit!!! chaotic, funny, badass, has magic and can be scary (which is a slay). the fact that he’s queer is a major plus too
4. scott lang (marvel cinematic universe)
- just a goofy lil guy with so much love in his heart. another amazing and wholesome comfort character
5. merlin + arthur pendragon (bbc merlin)
- 2 for 1 cause they’re best together. i read merthur fics everyday and while i know fics aren’t accurate to their actual character/canon, they have one of the best dynamics ive ever seen
6. adelina amouteru (the young elites trilogy by marie lu)
- been ages since i read this but adelina is such a cool character. if i had powers, id want to have hers (or flying, that’d be great). actually went as adelina for halloween once. 10000/10 recommend the young elites
7. lena luthor / morgana pendragon (supergirl / bbc merlin)
- another 2 for 1. i watched merlin because i saw katie mcgrath in supergirl and now i read merthur everyday. both lena and morgana’s journeys are beautiful imo. lena from light to dark back to light. morgana’s from light to dark when it was so preventable. perfect characters for a perfect actress
8. nick nelson (heartstopper tv)

hope you don't mind me sending in another ask so soon but i always find this kinda stuff interesting- now that you've survived two big serious arcs how would you rank the main cast in terms of like. favs & stuff?
don't apologise for the asks at all!! i love answering them and rambling about my thoughts so actually thank YOU for giving me a viable outlet haha
so I had to pull out my notes app to draft this one bc i can't do things simply apparently. i can't rank characters for shit so I'm just gonna rate the main ones (at least to me) out of ten and that's that lol, so onward beyond the cut!
Gintoki: I'm in love with him. 10/10.
He's captivated me with his dead fish eyes and pathetic charm, the way he subverts the general shonen protag archetype really works for me (bc i tend to get annoyed with the genre every now and then) but other than that he's such an interesting character on his own that I cannot get into for fear of rambling too much but yeah. I like him a lot. I might cry about someday in the tags of some art or whatever
(also beam saber arc is UNDERRATED (to me) and its very much overshadowed by everything before and after it but I DON'T CARE it has some of my favourite gin character bits this is my propaganda i just felt like i had to put this here THANKS)
Shinpachi: the human-wearing-glasses gag is absolutely hilarious and I hope it never stops. 8/10.
I love shinpachi a lot I promise, i love how dedicated he is to the straight man role and also the times when he's not. Honestly he could have very easily annoyed me after a bit, but he's genuinely just so loveable and a lot of his charm just comes from his VA's delivery, I've never heard anyone else able to convey the emotional range that I've heard from shinpachi in this anime fnsnjrjgjs
I do think he needs more screentime though (watch beam saber arc),,,kagura tends to get a lot of the spotlight (which I'm not mad about) but he also needs some love!! he's just some guy yk gotta give some appreciation!!
Kagura: queen of kabukicho and the queen of my heart. 10/10.
SHE IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING TO ME. i don't have words to express how much I love her, she's one of my all time favorites ever. She's just doing her thing, eating gin-san out of house and home and kicking ass while she's at it and she's so valid for that.
A big part of why I like her is also just her relationship with the yorozuya. the amount of times I've felt like exploding when I see her and gin or shinpachi just interacting in the background of a scene or something similar is impossible to count. She's my little mimi and she deserves literally the world
(Also there's this one compilation of her singing on YouTube and i listen to it RELIGIOUSLY kugimiya rie is a blessing for this character for real it's insane)
Sadaharu interlude: Big ball of fluff/10 (he's adorable)
Hijikata: this man makes me feel a similar range of emotions I feel cramming the night before a final, if not more. 10/10.
He drives me NUTS. you know me, i love my dark-haired chainsmoking men with issues, and he's just chock full of them, it's like a dream come true. Every arc that's focused on him has been absolutely incredible, and even on his own he's such an interesting and funny character. Fully biased towards his VA btw, i don't think anyone else could voice him as effectively, the delivery is always top notch.
His dynamic with the rest of the shinsengumi is honestly one of my favourites, he's got so much range as a serious and gag character, especially when the plot decides to chuck his coolness out the window with that little mayonnaise addiction of his (now everytime I put mayonnaise on anything at all i give myself a dirty look, idk why).
Also i should mention that tosshi was one of the only things that made my watching experience truly difficult. I'd just cringe out of existence everytime he opened his mouth it was. An experience. I still love him very much. Too much maybe.
Sougo: sadism has never looked more fun. 9/10.
I don't think I really have much to say about him? he's genuinely a really fun character, and his endless quests to smear hijikata across the asphalt is always the highlight of any viewing experience. i loved him regardless, but the mitsuba and farewell shinsengumi arcs gave him that extra bit of depth that really solidified him as a fav hehe
YOU DONT GET CHARACTERS LIKE HIM VERY OFTEN AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
kondo: gorilla gorilla/10 (9/10)
thi guy is just the fucking funniest. he's one of the perfect examples of how gintama does characterisation through comedy because by introducing him with all his hilarious gags, you start to care a lot more about him when things actually get serious. Plus the joke never really gets old with him, if he shows up in an episode I know I'm about to have a great time.
but as a serious character as well he's just so good. Him being the glue of the shinsengumi is incredible and sometimes in the plot (crisis and farewell arcs) you can see exactly what it is in this man that makes people want to follow him to the ends of the earth, he is just a good person and I love him for that.
also he's the reason i realised I have not grown out of my 14 year old dick joke phase so there's that
Otose: gintoki's overdue rent/10 (9/10)
I enjoy her so much actually, she's already incredibly fun, but whenever they show more background to gintoki and her's relationship, all of a sudden i am in a puddle of tears on the floor, it's one of the most important things ever to me, the foster parent trope is my weak point.
evidently, kabukicho four devas was my kryptonite (in a really really good way)
Catherine: the heavy accent is pretty funny. 7/10.
I don't really have strong feelings about her tbh, she's alright and funny enough, that's pretty much all I can say
Tama: total number of her leukocytes/10 (9/10)
I LIKE TAMA SOOOOO MUCH SHES SO SWEET AND KIND AND ADORABLE. all of the tama centric arcs have been really fun and each episode involving her is so nice. Finding out she was the time traveller in the bfy movie was such a great twist but immediately made sense bc OF COURSE she would go that far for her very first friends!!!!! i love her innocence so dearly and the way she simply just wants to help others, also otose seeing her as a daughter makes me so emotional
Hasegawa: the madaodog madaonaire episode made me choke at the speed at which I got that reference. 8/10.
Incredibly funny character, the fact that he cannot win a single W is both hilarious but also a bit sad and pathetic, but he's authentic to himself regardless.
He also ruined my later attempts at trying to watch NGE
Otae: the price of one dom peri/10 (8/10)
I love her SOOOOO much she's so entertaining...again I don't have much to say but it's not really in a bad way, i just like her a lot and that's mostly it hehe
Kyubei: otae love/10 (9/10)
as a nb person I have a huge bias towards kyubei, their struggle to figure out where they stand in the binary is pretty relatable, and while I can say that you don't always see a character like that in media who is also hopelessly in love with a woman (so real for that though) i can also admit that this show isn't the best handling of it all, but honestly it's a very "take what I can get situation" so I try not to be too bothered, dekobokko was a bit strange but the ending for kyubei is better than most other instances I've seen, even if it doesn't stay consistent in the series
Also where is jugem jugem? i miss that little bastard so much that arc was so good
Tsukuyo: where does she stash all that kunai. 9/10.
TSUKUYO IS MY WIFE AND GINTOKI NEEDS TO MOVE OVER BC I WANT TO KISS HER. thank you
no but seriously she's a really fun character, and I love everything about her and yoshiwara and her relationship with hinowa and seita and he hyakka and ACK. yoshiwara in flames and the red spider arcs were really good for her, and her slightly confused air at most times is so charming, i love her muah
Sacchan: uhhhhhh huh. 7/10.
I'm gonna be honest, she's one of the only characters I really didn't like since she was introduced, i just found her so incredibly annoying all the time. But then came shogun assassination and suddenly I could stand her a lot more when her personality didn't revolve around gin-san's massive d– (but like. I hate that I can relate to her)
also I don't know where her strange friendship with tsukuyo came from but I actually genuinely like it a lot..........sillies with sharp knives, what could possibly go wrong?
Okay I'm running out of steam here honestly so if I've missed anyone (I'm very sure I have) feel free to ask in replies and I'll tell you what i think jgjekkfkd
this is terrible. Everyone is a main character in my eyes
EDIT: I MISSED THE REST OF THE JOUI 4. I WILL DISEMBOWEL MYSELF. BUT FOR NOW HAVE A LIGHTNING ROUND
katsura: 10/10.
One of my all time favourite characters ever, literal definition of head empty no thoughts, he is so stupid and I want to kiss him passionately under the moonlight
Sakamoto: 10(00000)/10
He is my everything. He needs more screentime. I'm begging on my knees. He is the perfect man.
Takasugi: 9/10
He's great. Shogun assassination made me cry over him. I'm forever sad about him now he was so mochi.....and then the trauma.............ue
Anyways now I think I'm done. time to atone

The angst potential of Gokudera's partner sacrificing themself to save someone else in the famiglia, tho. The Vongola comes first, after all, and his partner knows that
Okay, but I have definitely written things along this line before…it still remains one of my favourite possibilities though because there is so much potential for angst there and, my fuck, do I love breaking some character’s hearts for the drama and fantastic character stories and just…it makes me strangely happy, haha!
So, I could definitely see this being a thing that could happen. Mafia life, even while it’s downplayed some in the manga and it’s made to look charming, is dirty and dangerous and the very real possibility of dying early is something every Mafioso has to learn to deal with.
And Gokudera is okay with that. He’s accepted the dangers he puts himself in and he thought he had internally accepted the real and present danger to his loved ones.
But he really hasn’t because, somewhere in the back of his mind, he had always assumed that his family and his lover would be fine, that he could always somehow keep them safe in this seedy life they all live.
He trusts in his partner’s strength enough to not demand anymore that he be sent on missions with them. They can handle themselves and they do for a good long time. Life seems stable, happy even for Gokudera and his little found family he’s created with the Vongola.
But they go lead a mission when he’s desperately needed somewhere else, Tsuna’s orders, and he assumes it will be like every other time and they will come home victorious.
Except they don’t come home. The Vongola headquarters hear it through the radio-coms first and tell Tsuna, who calls Gokudera right away…or, if you really want to get angsty, they’re all on comms in different areas and Gokudera gets to hear his lover’s last minutes playing in his ear while he’s powerless to protect them or help them or save them in any way.
He’d definitely not react well. Whatever danger the family was facing…all the grief that threatens to choke him and makes his head swim and his chest feel like it’s second away from exploding…it manifests itself as anger because that’s always how Gokudera feels most comfortable with expressing himself. The danger doesn’t just get handled; it gets burned to ashes.
But that doesn’t really help. It doesn’t take away that grief and I feel like Gokudera would really have an issue with properly handling his grief, getting stuck in the denial and anger stages for years.
If it’s just some other no-name Vongola member his partner died protecting, I feel like Gokudera would direct a lot of his anger there and would never forgive them…hell, I think that Vongola member wouldn’t be a member too much longer.
But if it was another Guardian? Or even better, Tsuna??? That makes everything in Gokudera’s world and in his mind so much harder because he’s always been so devoted to them but at the same time, he blames them and there’s this bitterness that does grow in his heart towards them and he hates himself for it so there’s even more guilt and shame and it all just weighs him down.
I don’t feel like, even if Tsuna offered to pay for a grief counselor for Gokudera (which I doubt would happen because KHR likes to pretend like therapists don’t exist, even though honestly, the Vongola should be handing out individual therapists to everyone for the rest of their lives the way Oprah hands out goodies to her viewers), he wouldn’t take it because in a lot of ways, he will blame himself. In his mind, it wouldn’t have happened if he’d only have been there. Or if he’d been stronger, strong enough to prevent that danger from ever being a real threat. So, in a really sick way, he’ll want to hold onto that guilt and shame and grief because he’ll feel like it’s only right that he feels it, that it’s what he deserves for not being good enough.
I also don’t think he’d take another serious lover for years, maybe even decades, if that happened, going back to flings, and keeping people really far away from him. Unless the others tried really hard, he’d even start to grow the distance between him and the other family members because he just can’t mentally or emotionally handle everything and becomes obsessively scared, even though he won’t understand that that is what he feels, of losing another precious person to him. So, if he hardens his heart or creates distance or actively pushes people away, he’s safe from that.

end of the year recap - 2022 (+ a little note to everyone at the end)
i think i was tagged by a few people - @reliablemitten @taegularities @sunshinerainbowsbts - thank you for tagging me!
rules: post the top 5 works you're most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you've written this year!
top 5 works 1. run - ot7/yoonkook/vmin i love writing this series because it's so much action and i am challenging myself with it. it's also just so much fun to have it play in my head like a movie. 2. anything for you - pjm x jhs as soon as j-hope's lolla concert ended and i saw jimin join the vlive, i just knew i needed to write something. a little ode to their friendship and the way that jimin took care of hobi. 3. on the nature of living - myg x ghost!reader, myg x pjm i think this might be one of the series that i'm the most proud of even though it's not finished yet. it's cathartic to write about death and grief, especially after the year i've had. 4. way back home - myg x reader (no gender specified) 'that that' yoongi was a cultural reset and then writing a smut without mention readers genitals really meant a lot to me. i was proud of myself. 5. starstruck series - myg x reader, kth x reader this is what started it all!! one year of writing bts and reading so many wonderful fics. i am just kind of in awe of myself tbh. honourable mention: meeting half way - kth x jjk (written with @wwilloww) becoming friends with willow and then the two of us starting a fic together was/is a dream come true.
top 4 WIPs 1. on the nature of living 2-4 honestly this series is just becoming a favourite of mine to write and i'm having a joy writing jimin through the eyes of yoongi. 2. heat waves 2-3 + epilogue? i love writing hobi. he's so much fun to write and the next few parts are going to dig deeper into the reader and hobi's psyche. i just have to get through editing and i hate it lol 3. the departure i'm keeping this info hidden until later. but it's a yoonkook fic and i'm challenging myself in new ways 4. untitled jungkook fic pigeons and their annoying coos are a big thing in this fic. the fact that it hasn't left my mind since i came up with it this spring is impressive and means it needs to be written. 3 biggest improvements 3. honestly and truly writing for myself and a few friends was a big relief and honestly what i needed to do. by not focusing on how many notes and comments fics get means that i can just write what i want to write. 2. reading more fics. i think that can be can be considered an improvement because i think it's pushed me to be a better writer. 1. my writing has just improved. i've gotten better with detail and getting into the character's minds. it's hard to explain but i just feel more comfortable in it. i'm not so tentative to write what i want to write.
2 resolutions i don't like doing any sort of resolutions but i will say that i want to keep writing and i want to keep reading. that's it. 1 favourite line "They’ll probably ignore him when his chest eventually does explode and he’s left in the middle of the street, a massive puddle of grief and sorrow. They’ll step around him, some will look at him and pity him, others won’t look." - on the nature of living
thank you all for a really great year!! to everyone who has stuck around and read my fics whether you've commented or not. it's meant a lot to me to just put my writing out there. to all of my friends that i've started talking to on discord and on here, you all mean so much to me and i honestly would have had an incredibly lonely year without you all. reading your writing, laughing, and being horny together just has made my year so much better. this year was a lot and bts and everyone i've met because of them have helped me get through the sludge in and out of my head. thank you 💖💖💖
i'm going to tag a few people and open this up to anyone who wants to: @vyduan @goodsoop @herecomessatvrn @bangtanintotheroom @thatlongspringnight @wwilloww @augustbutwinter @hesperantha

Monday 6th February - doot. doot. doot. another one bites the dust
last week recap; (song basically sums how I feel rn)
Monday - Walked into English and had Ben and Cory, two of Wyvern's friends and cronies, creep up behind me and whisper "So how's Andrew?" And I instantly knew Wyvern had told everyone. Which he has, I can confirm. Monday was a blur of school and trying to avoid the judgmental-ass gazes of many people. Cory teased me throughout double English, and Ben teased me throughout double science. And then, it all added up in the grand finale of Maths, where the seating plan is a bit like; Wyvern - Andrew - Cory - Ben - Janek - Me
So Ben and Cory were turning around every second to sing "Cath and Andrew sitting in a tree-" While Wyvern turned around and gave me pointed looks. Andrew didn't look in my general direction at all, and I'm grateful. I don't think I would've been able to bear it, since they were teasing him as well as me. He already knew I liked him and didn't tell them himself, when he could've done. I was an absolute dumbass for telling Wyvern. But, I prayed everything would blow over eventually. And it has, it seems.
Tuesday - An average Tuesday, but I was relatively tired. I was trying to read my book and Sheldon wouldn't leave me alone, unfortunately. Everyone else seemed mildly peeved off with him as well. I'd tried setting boundaries with him, telling him t stop messaging me, to leave me alone, and he just didn't listen. I'd made it abundantly clear I wanted space.
He wouldn't give it.
Wednesday - I did my GCSE performance recordings for music; my solo took many attempts to get right, but my group didn't take long.
Sheldon still wouldn't leave me alone.
So, Harley, Matty, Bella, Harry, Peter, Reagan and I collectively planned to kick him out. To get rid of the overhanging ick that he brought with him. The guilty being that followed me everywhere.
Part 1 - I exploded at him on text. I admit, this wasn't originally the plan, but I simply couldn't deal with his whiny messages anymore. I exploded, told him to leave me alone, and blocked him.
Part 2 - Kick him out of the friend group entirely. There were many risks that came with this; he'd been kicked out of his old friend group and had threatened me in the past with. Well. Suicidal tendencies. Bella volunteered to kick him out, but Matty believed I should've done it. It's true, I should've done, but my soul lives in the music department.
Thursday - Part 2 was enacted at break, when I was with Alison being morale support for her GCSE performances. Harry told me about it;
The group moved from Sheldon, leaving him with Bella. Bella then told him, I'm not exactly how, to leave us alone. From what Harry said; me being uncomfy was used as a bit of a scapegoat. Which is a reasonable scapegoat, I must say. Sheldon's left me alone since then, and the group has been chaotically thriving.
I watched the school's production of Romeo and Juliet, and it was good, I enjoyed it. Before it though, I helped Alison and Andrew pack up training orchestra with all the young musicians. Andrew tried telling Alison's little brother how to commit arson, and I had to break the two apart.
Andrew and I then took a ton of cymbals back to the music department from the main hall, and we had a nice little convo. Twas nice, bearing in mind the entire school knows I like him thanks to Wyvern.
Friday - Chill, easy, kinda boring, basic. Lunch was funny tho; Harley and Matty stole my Romeo+Juliet programme I was getting signed and signed it themselves. It was... interesting. I also watched Little Women (2019) for the first time.
Saturday - Went to county band for the first time in about 2 months, and it was okay. Then I went and watched the new Puss in Boots movie with my parents and I adored it. Perrito is my favourite character, my dad thought he was called burrito until my mum and I corrected him.
Sunday - It was a Sunday. Need I say more? I went and sat in a tree with a monster and some eclairs tho and read a book in the afternoon which was very chill and very nice and i really enjoyed it.
Monday - A good day, calm, chill. Alison's birthday too, which was nice. Harley's been bullying me all evening into writing this, and within reason, it's been a long time since I did an update. I'll update again on Wednesday, and then again on Sunday.

Compton Boole and gluttonous goats for Le character ask game plz
For this Character ask game 💚🤍🖤  
—————-
Compton Boole
one aspect about them i love
Everything he is involved in is so weird if you think about it too much, but also like, its so weird but its also normal. Embodiment of the energy of the psychonauts universe tbh
He sounds so polite he is also so small you wouldn’t know he got powerful powers, then he moves and you can hear the comical sound effects. He knows this and tries to keep people safe by keeping himself away from a situation that creates accident. **would babble more about him and the memory vaults if I could but this is already getting long
Also his frantic energy when he is stressed out, like me too bud (extremely vibrating little guy inside who want to peace out of the situation, because holy shit *self-imposed timer + quality standards = explodes from imploding self-pressure*) I’d want me a psychoisolation chamber and play chess with a clever little rat too
One more thing but I do love that little mischievious laughter he has with Cassie and her shenanigans, absolute besties -- they know each others shit so well they think its hilarious
one aspect i wish more people understood about them
I need more sass for portrayed in his fan works, he is POLITE but is also very good at what he like doing. 
Did you explore his speech tree before you go into his mind? my god he tsks at you at one point holy shit his face. Like he can still be firm even before clearing the goat judges, so not a pushover kind of shying away, and firmly to prevent dangers FROM himself
one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character
He didn’t know about teleportation till he met Ford. First few times still gets him spooked but eventually gets used to it. Then when he sees others who get added getting spook, he gets why Ford thinks its funny. 
When he gets to learn teleportation, he gets to do the same thing as well (even though its mostly limited to a small area, namely size of a kitchen, and his mindscape.)
one character i love seeing them interact with
We only saw him interact with Raz and Psychic 7 (and even more in fanfiction), so I’d love to see his interactions with his family and motherlobe employees.
Family of course we see a bit implied with lines, but I am also curious with the relationship with Boole kids’ parents.
Very curious most of all his relationship with Truman, Hollis, and Terryl since those characters would atleast have more than just a glimpse of him. The Camp Counselors too! 
We need more Compton fics in general where he isn’t just a small part of the fic.
one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more
*smashes you with more Psychic 7 interactions*  OBVIOUSLY
but yeah no yeah I always love Cassie & Compton platonic partners content, but I would also love to see more of his dynamic with the other 6. Namely while we see him with Cass the most, then Otto and Ford, we don’t really see much for Helmut (okay he kinda does as Tasty but--), Bob and Lucy. Give us DLC with just character interactions Doublefine ples
Anyway as I’ve mentioned, would love to see more with his family and motherlobe employees
one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character
He knows everyone's favourite dish and does his best to make something that they would like based on that dish (+everything else they like). It would be a massive compliment to him if someone says the dish he made up is their new favourite. He also really just likes it when he makes it with someone else, even if it is a simple dish. Cassie with cooking, Lucy with Baking, Ford with Grilling and all that~
--------------
Not gonna do the gluttonous goats one since that’s a tad hard as one dimensional character, though I would love to see what they were like before we see them in game, as well as what they could be like after the game. Hell it’d be interesting to see how they’d do when they turn to judge others (though I doubt that since they are Compton’s self judgement)

Logan Sanders: A “Brief” Rant About My Undying Love For Him
Tumblr media
Logan Sanders has become such an important character in my life, I really don’t know where I would be without him. Probably very similar to where I am now, but let’s not talk about that today. Instead, let’s talk about how I grew to love him, and eventually fall in love with him (to an extent).
I’m ashamed of myself when I admit this, but I used to agree with Virgil in that he was my least favourite character. I honestly found him quite boring; useful, but boring. Especially in the earlier episodes, such as “Way Too Adult” and “The Mind vs. The Heart”. However, as the series progressed, I grew to enjoy his presence, especially in “Accepting Anxiety”, though that episode focused on Virgil. Just watching him start talking at that speed with that level of tension was hilarious and weirdly comforting. I think I first started really loving the character in “Fitting In″ when he made that extra effort to make sure Virgil felt comfortable with his hair, despite despising it himself (and no one caring about his feelings, only Virgil’s). I noticed how much he cared about the others and the changes he made to himself to better suit their needs and it really resonated with me. I’ve never really had any connection or positive relationship with any of my teachers despite schools always going on about how much they care, so Logan’s subtle displays of compassion got to me emotionally. 
The “Moving On” episodes were some of my favourites out of the whole series, especially rewatching them after discovering my love for Logan. His rational contributions and genuine desire to make Thomas feel better, his concern for Virgil’s situation, his suppressed joy at the idea of a new uni course, THE CAT HOODIE??? I just adore this man. I was filled with so much positive emotion when watching him in both episodes. It’s sad knowing how much he’ll suffer in the later episodes. I want to hug that man so much. I highly doubt he has ever been hugged, so he should start now. And now I’m sad. Damn it. 
Though I adore his appearance in those episodes now, I think it was only when watching “Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts” that I truly fell in love with him (obviously he’s a fictional character and I’m aro ace so it’s perfectly reasonable and not at all weird). I watched as he remained perfectly calm and stable throughout the whole episode and how he basically saved c!Thomas from a huge breakdown, and I just went, “Yep. That one. I want that one.” He just looked and felt so stable and reassuring; by that point I was hooked.
I watched “Working Through Intrusive Thoughts” and I just melted by how kind he was to c!Thomas and how civil he was with Remus. Firstly, it’s one thing to watch the kindness of a person like Patton, who would do anything for anyone, and a whole other thing to watch a seemingly emotionless robot demonstrate such wholesome compassion for their friends. Secondly, he was angry at c!Thomas. Positively furious at being ignored and not having his needs met. But he still changed his actions to meet c!Thomas’s needs instead. If that ain’t love, I don’t know what love is. It was the same for Remus; Logan was becoming increasingly irritated by Remus’s deliberate taunting, but he still did his best to remain calm and establish a truce between them. He failed of course, but he still tried. That level of self control was astounding to me (especially since I have none myself), and I was truly amazed by how well Thomas (the real one) played that character. All the conflicting emotions and turmoil going on beneath the surface and how it bubbled and boiled ‘til it exploded. Ugh, he’s so gorgeous.
In short, I love Logan Sanders so f**king much I would kill god for him. He is a sexy man. A cool man. A cool, sexy man. I can’t wait to see how his character arc develops. Part of me is excited to watch him suffer and break, but also I love him so much and I don’t want to see him sad. 
Love you Logan, Thomas if you read this I love you as well, you beautiful man :)

For the Happy Ficwritter Ask: 10, 11, 12 and 14 (yes this is my excuse to read more snippets lmao)
This has been sitting in my drafts for ages because I had no snippet written that I could share 🙃 then I found it in my drafts today and realised, oops I did not complete this. So here it is, months later 🫣
10. Why do you continue writing fics?
I don’t think I could stop even if I wanted to. I have a lot of very vocal people living in my head. It’s like this little show that I’m privy to but if I want to talk about it with others, I have to tell them about this wild story that’s happening and this bizarre dialogue I overheard these two characters having. Also it’s really nice to get a response to what you write. If I was talking into a complete void, then I would not be sharing the stories because it’s really only fun if others enjoy it too. Also with fanfic, particularly Beyblade, we’re only treated to a brief glimpse of certain characters during a very short period of their life. There’s characters who never interacted and experiences we’ve never seen for them that I just want to explore and bring to life. Would Kane and Tala have these little bonding moments in canon, probably not. Would Hilary and Ian ride or die for each other in canon? Nope, but they do in fanfic. It’s so much fun to take these personalities and explore them in a post canon world or throw them onto a high school hockey team and watch their little worlds explode. It’s the best!
11. Who is your favorite character(s) to write about and why? Previously answered this but it’s always going to be Ian but also Mystel. Mystel is fascinating. Like from BEGA, who were the big bad of season 3, we got this kid who could leap up cliff faces and shared fruit and wore a mask and instead of being normal and communicating to his captain that Ming-Ming and Moses had gone to spy on Tyson, he suspended himself from a building, knocked on a window and just gestured. Garland has just come out of a room with Brooklyn, freaked out of his mind, looks out the window and his teammate is just literally hanging there! WHAT?! He’s awfully pretty but it’s his extra little attitude that just makes him so much fun. I do adore Mystel and he’s such a little shit in his own way. Do I love little shit type characters? YES. Yes I do.
12. What is your favorite theme/subject matter/trope/ship to write about? Why?
Friendship is magic? Is this a theme or a trope? I don’t know. Is it a My Little Pony reference? I’ve never watched the show, but I love friendships. I love boys being besties, I love girls being besties, I love frenemies and boy/girl friendships, lovers being best friends. I live for friendship and the strength that comes from that. You get great dynamics, and insight into characters through their dialogue with friends and how far they’ll go to protect that friendship. And I guess it feeds into found family, which is also something I adore. With SLTS it’s very much Kai finding his place on the team and the team growing and becoming better because of it. Kai’s growth as a friend through SLTS is my favourite thing because he starts off thinking he’s the best and maybe talent wise he is, but there’s more to being a good player, a good captain, a good teammate than just being talented. And the team needed to learn to let someone in, to stop being so insular and circling the wagons when they felt threatened. Also underdogs ftw! Who doesn’t love an underdog? But an underdog who’s trained and worked hard to earn their place as the ultimate winner. I love feeling good about a story, especially when you hit all those moments where it’s like, there’s no chance, there’s very little hope and yet… we still cling to that small iota of “maybe, just maybe this time?”. And when it pays off and you get goosebumps? I want to give that to someone. I want someone to read something I wrote and just internally cheer because they feel like they’re part of the team too and their win is the readers win.
14. Share a snippet (where Kai is at camp and he’s dealing with a whole bunch of egos)
“Well, well, Hiwatari. We finally meet.”
Kai stifled a sigh. Deacon would be one of those trash talkers on the ice. The kind Kai usually ignored, but today he felt plagued by an annoying little imp on his shoulder.
So, with a bland expression, he met Deacon’s gaze through his visor. “No, we’ve met before.”
Ire tightened Deacon’s features. “I meant on the ice.”
Kai shifted his hands on his stick and got low. “We’ve met there before too.”
“Tonight. I meant tonight.”
“Oh. Should have specified.”
The puck dropped, Kai swept and pulled it through his legs to his defence man.

3, 6, and 8 for the fanfic writer asks! 😊
3. Is there any trope/scene you've been wanting to write?
So many *cries* But right now, I've been meaning to get to the point in one of my WIP where the pairing has kids, because I might explode from cuteness just writing it. I know I can just skip ahead and write it, but I don't wanna. I'LL GET TO IT EVENTUALLY.
6. What character(s) do you find it most difficult to write?
I've written for many fandoms over the many years I've been writing, and there's always a character that I have to carefully draft out their lines or inner thoughts, because it's different than my natural flow. A few that come to mind right now are Annabeth and Jason from PJO, young Sirius Black (because it's hard not to make him too batshit crazy), Reggie from JATP (he has to be the right amount of bimbo), and Simon from YR.
Simon sometimes gives me a run for my money. He has a very strong sense of self, but he's also a people-pleaser and likes to take care of everybody, so that balance is hard to get *just* right. Just last night I was writing a conversation between him and the Queen, and I nearly pulled my hair out trying to make it realistic. (spoiler for a fic that's coming soon? shhhhh)
8. Which fic or hc do you feel most proud of?
I think I may have a favourite baby from each fandom. It usually aligns with the most popular ones, because it's mostly my multichapter stories that I spent so long working on.
Half a God - PJO one about Percy going a bit overboard to protect his mum. We need more dark!Percy, yes thank you.
About That Accent Series - Another PJO about their different accents. Two installments that I'm extremely proud of, including one that ended up being a huge Solangelo get-together fic. I've got a third one sitting in my drafts for years (about Nico's Italian accent) that I never seem to finish, BUT IT'S THERE AND I'M TRYING.
Down at the Pier AU Series - My biggest JATP project that was so well-received that I can't even. I worked my arse off to make it flow well. It's the best feeling in the world to have so many people saying nice things about it. I re-read it occasionally as well.
The Front Comes First and the Truth Comes Second - For YR. The first chapter in particular. It was one of those fics when I saw what I had envisioned actually translate to paper after slaving at it. Completely paid off.
Put Me Back Together and Take My Heart - My Wilmon canon-divergence, beloved. I've always wanted to write about a head injury, because I just see so many irl, but I didn't want it to feel too medical and boring, like rubbing knowledge on people's faces. I think I managed to get the flavour just right for this one, and I also re-read it frequently for my own enjoyment. Universe in progress.
His Royal Fucking Highness - Another huge Wilmon project of mine that is currently in progress, now with a installment about their wedding. I have received messages asking about whether I've abandoned it, and NO, I can assure you I haven't. I'm just being very extra for the next chapter of the wedding fic.
On a completely unrelated note (wink wink), I'm also proud of the Juke song I wrote for a fic, because that was the first song I ever seriously wrote, and I haven't stopped writing songs since: Do You Wanna Get...?
