Death Flower

Jane Volturi x Fem human mate

Summary: Jane contradicts a lot but a simple "my little death flower" and its all over.

A/N: I wanted to post this on May 31st since that marks half way to Halloween but I forgot about this WIP. I got some ideas brewing for when October comes around. Its short but anyways....Enjoy💙

__________________🥀____________________

“No”

“No? Why not?”

‘I said no and that is final, so stop pestering me on this”

“Come on my little death flower, let's not be like this”

She stopped walking away and stood on the spot. Here's the thing about being mates with Jane, yes she can be quite difficult to convince to do things, such as cuddling under our favorite open field, but I know a certain trick to persuade her. I noticed this a while ago, she was going to leave for a guard meeting that would start in 30 minutes, but she wanted to leave early but I wanted her to cuddle with me. She’s still not used to affection, which I understand, she took a month to even just hold my hand so I understand that and I respect her boundaries. But as she was getting ready to leave for her meeting I sleepily called out to her “My little storm cloud” and she halted her movements and was instantly in bed with her being the big spoon and I the little one.

I didn't dare to question her sudden change of mind but from that whenever I wanted to “get my way” with her I would casually call her some clever nicknames and she goes with my idea. I of course never call her out in front of the others, actually one time I called her my “little rain cloud” in front of Alec. He instantly looked at Jane and started teasing her and would call her the same nickname for days until Jane threatened to use her ability on him, that for sure shut him up. I promised to her that I would never call her said nicknames in front of others.

Jane also from what I can say is she doesn't like being called the traditional nicknames, once in a while I do call her darling or my love but it doesn't get the same reaction as when I call her my other nicknames. It's just so amusing to see her halt her every thought and movements when I call her such names, but what makes my heart flip is when she looks at me and you can see a very small smile spreading onto her angelic face.

“What is it that you wanted to do again?”

Oh man I got her so good, I almost feel bad in kind of manipulating her with my nicknames but man she always gets her way a majority of the time. She always gets the final say but I guess it does feel nice to finally be able to have a small win with her. And gosh that smile she does is so sweet, it's hard to imagine her being able to cause such pain with her gaze when she has such an angelic smile.

“Oh right, um I wanted you be my Morticia to my Gomez”

“But Halloween is not for another five months?”

“I know but that's going to be our couple costume”

“Hmm we will see”

“Come on Jane, it ill be perfect, I already treat you like you are the only person in my life, I even call you the nicknames that are very similar to what Gomez calls Morticia”

“I said we will see”

I know she likes the idea, she just won't admit it. I think she would make a beautiful Morticia, but in this case she will be a blonde Morticia. In no way will I make her wear a wig to cover her golden locks that I love so much. In my case I would be a female version of Gomez, I'm also at the point of convincing the others to be characters from “The Addams Family”. Felix will definitely be Lurch no doubt, but for some reason im stuck with the thought that Alec and Demetri would be a great Pugesly and Wednesday. They will be my next victims to convince them to go along with my crazy plan. I grabbed her hand to place a gentle slow kiss on it, I felt her literally melt at the touch.

“Fine we will do it, but you dare make me wear a wig I will have Alec use his smoke on you”

Shivering at her little “threat” which I know she will never do, she has said that many times in the past and has never once done it to me.

“I would never want to cover your blonde locks my dear thundercloud”

“...Good”

Being Jane’s mate has its downs but if you play your cards right it can have its perk.

So, the next chapter of "Dizzy Edges" is actually not the doozy chapter I thought it would be. I'm doing a small (I'm limiting myself to 3,500 words) chapter following Tim in the (slightly) distant aftermath of Ch. 26. He's going on a field trip! Then, it'll be time for the big chapter that may destroy my brain (parallel Dick and Tim POVs as they have one-on-one conversations with two guest characters--can you guess who?)

BUT... I found this note in my phone and I think it's a pretty good breakdown of Helena, Dick, and their relationship to Tim in this story (makes sense because I wrote both the note-which I forgot existed-and the story). Helena isn't a terrible caretaker... She's just not equipped to be what *Tim* needs all the time (~sometimes~ her ability to just let things go actually *is* a benefit to Tim...) He's pretty good at balancing himself out of given time and a little space to think things through. Even in RR he's fully aware he sounds crazy and he might be wrong... He's got some level of self-awareness even if he ignores it.

So, here's the note and I hope it helps make sense of a few things that have happened:

Helena is fighting for Tim but in the way she *thinks* he needs her to: taking down crime, with prejudice, in Gotham. The reason she got to know him in the first place is because the usual systems *failed* this kid so she has to work outside of them to *fix* things on his behalf. It's an intentional parallel that she *leaves* at night to fight the problems that plagued him and he *left* at night to escape those problems. He had to leave to find comfort, by leaving she (accidentally) isolates him *from* comfort and stability so he finds himself wandering the city again looking for things to do to take his mind off... Just everything. Tim appreciates her dedication and is aligned in her goal to protect the innocent (even if he disagrees on her methods). But she isn't fighting *for* him the way he actually needs her to (just by being there to listen and being open/honest with him).

Dick is fighting *for* Tim... He wants to protect Tim and that's his number one goal when he thinks of Tim. Long-term goal may be to fix/break the system, but short-term he's concerned with Tim's well-being (physical and mental). He wants him to keep existing yes, but he also just *needs* Tim around. His support and his jokes and even that incessant little head tilt. He listens to Tim and remembers what he says and values his steadiness and adaptability. He keeps showing up when Tim is out looking for a distraction, for comfort. If Tim asked Dick to stop doing something on his behalf, he would because he's fighting for Tim in this scenario and he actually listens to what Tim says he needs (even if Tim is wrong about that).

Helena loves Tim like a brother (genuinely), but that means she thinks she knows best what he needs and doesn't ask Tim what that might be. Dick *is* Tim's brother and he trusts him to make the right call when it matters. He'll catch him if he falls. That's the difference. Helena would kill for him, Dick would *spare* someone because Tim asked him to. And Tim would ask him to stop to save *Dick* from having to grapple with the guilt and the consequences of a choice like that. They're each other's life raft and lighthouse. Saving each other and guiding each other in the storm. Each is the other's biggest supporter and, honestly, one of their most trusted advisors.

Sorry if this isn't interesting. But if you stumbled across this by accident maybe give the first few chapters of this weird and overly long story a go.

Either way, I hope you have a great day (or night).

Can I request the mycologists Cuddling with the reader hc ( I love the The Mushroom man🍄)

Mycologists cuddling with the reader hc’s

[Author’s Note: Yippee! An Inscryption ask! :D]

When performing surgeries for their experiments they have a steady hand but other than that their hands may occasionally twitch.

Even in a calm mood they can still be finicky and which means they move around a lot during cuddle time which can be annoying at first.

They love to rest their faces against yours.

The Mycologists do not like being distracted from their work and will often neglect any needs they may have while in work mode so you’ll have to remind them to take breaks. At first they get annoyed with you interrupting them but they are grateful that you care about them so much.

Both heads will often bicker during cuddle time because the smaller head wants to talk while the other head just wants to enjoy the silence with you.

You’re going to end up falling asleep on them because of how warm and cozy they are.

They have a lot of scars on their hands because of the sharp objects and specimens they work with. If you trace the scars on their hands both heads will swoon.

#Inscryption x reader #mycologists x reader #Inscryption #I forgot all about them but they are great characters #You should totally love them

Are there any companions you can't stand?

I wouldn't say I have any that I can't stand. Something that's so engaging to me about DA is that the companions have good, bad, and a lot in between. Honestly, I don't hate any of them. There are companions that I have more issues with than others, but I like them all; even, and sometimes especially, the ones that tend to be heavily hated on by the fandom.

The only companion that might fall into this category for me is Sebastian, but I totally acknowledge that I've yet to make an effort to use him when I play DA2. I legit just forget about him. How am I supposed to have a good grasp of his character when I don't engage with him outside of his companion quests? Plus I usually romance Anders so Sebastian always leaves my party in the end with threats of bringing an army down on Kirkwall for not killing Anders, soooo... yeah. Not the greatest impression he's left me with.

I would like to have a more well-rounded opinion of Sebastian because the concept of him is interesting; he's this chantry brother who is also a prince, but his family was murdered so he puts up a bounty on the chantry board [which admittedly is SO funny] and his companion quests are about avenging his family and helping him decide if he should take back his lands or remain a chantry brother. But then I talk to him, I listen to him talk to the other companions, and it's like... oh, the chantry has become his entire personality because the dude was brainwashed and now he's saying shit like the maker was actually the one who freed Fenris from slavery, and when Fenris tells him a story about how Denarius killed a child in a ritual for more power, Sebastian just doubles down that the maker has his reasons, like....babe, c'mon now.

I feel like I've read pieces about him written by fans who love him that are more compellingly written than he is, if that makes sense. Really, I would love to be educated by those who love him, especially Sebastian romancers because of all the love interests in all of DA, he's the one I look at and go, "....okay but why?" I have a lot of fun with character discussions and other perspectives so I mean that sincerely.

Also I think it's worth noting that when I play, I tend to get super into the roleplay of my warden/hawke/inquisitor, but while they have party members they can't stand, I have opinions that are separate from them, y'know?

For example, since I've talked about it a lot recently, my mage Hawke and Aveline butt heads constantly. By the end of Act 3, they're rivalry is heated and Ed's surprised Aveline even sided with him in the end because THAT is how much their relationship deteriorated over the course of the game... but then there's my warrior Hawke who adored Aveline. The two of them were best friends and Aris always gave her the benefit of the doubt, like she had Aveline's back through and through.

I've complained about Aveline a lot in my posts so it probably does sound like I can't stand her, but that's not true. Aveline's actually a companion that fascinates me, like she makes me go, "God, you're such an asshole, tell me more right now." and it drives me crazy how she and Carver are foils, like I love it so much, I could go on and on about how foiled they are, it makes me want to bite something.

It's very easy to look at Aveline and think she's just a bitch, she's a cop, she's a bad character, #Aveline-critical, bad companion, etc. I see it all the time, and not just with her, but with every companion in dragon age, y'know? I'm not saying that's wrong or anything; some characters just don't vibe with you or you have legit reasons for hating them and that's fine. I'm just saying some of it's very surface level unless you make the effort to elaborate.

If you don't like a character, you're less likely to make an effort to understand or see anything positive about them. You're more likely to have confirmation bias, so whenever they do or say anything, you go looking for the worst interpretation. I try not to do this just because for me, that's the "boring" approach to games like this but as we've seen, I'm not immune either... y'know, Sebastian.

But Carver gets this a lot, too, and I think I've made myself clear that Carver is my favorite, I love him, the Hawke twins are S-tier companions and I would throw everyone in Kirkwall into the ocean if it meant Bethany and Carver's happiness.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the characters a lot of fans can't stand are some of my favorites?

Like a lot of people shit on Sera, and I'm like "Nah, that's my girl! Listen, she's got a LOT of internalized issues, but we're working through them okay! She's getting better!"

And Vivienne? Oh, don't get me started on Vivienne, I have a whole deal about her. She's also an asshole and I love her.

My canon inquisitor is Surana who escaped the circle and joined the dalish, becoming Lavellan. Vivienne is a reflection of what Ash could've been if she hadn't run away with Jowan. She played the game of the circle, she stepped wherever she needed to step because Ash knew she was at a disadvantage by being an elf, for one, and for two, not coming from a family with wealth that would give her special privileges. Her downfall was buying into her own hype and believing she couldn't be wrong about Jowan, believing that she could either prevent them from making him tranquil or help him and Lily run away, and believing she was above punishment because she worked her way into being Irving's favorite. Yet it all bit her in the ass and she had to run… so then years later after living outside of the circle and realizing just what the chantry is, how it conditions and abuses mages and shit, she meets Vivienne who also played the game well and came out on top, who now spouts the same shit Ash used to spout and it's makes their dynamic sooo chewable.

Then there's Cullen who's not a companion but I lump him and Josephine in with the companions anyway. They're advisors, they're in the inner circle, they count.

He's such a spineless ass in DA2 like believe me, I get all the criticisms he gets... but he's also fairly polite to Hawke even if they're openly anti-templar, he's softer spoken, and he's unwell after what happened to him in DAO and Meredith's clearly taking advantage of his state... but then he becomes an advisor in DAI who is so done with people's bullshit and blatantly honest about it, like he looks at Chancellor Roderick like "this fucking guy again" and he's so ready to just go for it, y'know? Well... unless you're a pretty lady who bats her eyes at him, then suddenly he doesn't know how words work. Like sometimes I feel crazy because I find him to be so funny in DAI, and overall a compelling character that I enjoy interacting with even when he's being a total asshole. Yeah, there's issues in his writing but I appreciate the vision the writers were going for, even if they stumbled... except for Sheryl Chee, I don't appreciate her contribution of those few posts on the DA forums that everyone uses as a smoking gun to "prove" awful things about him. Nothing gets under my skin more in character discussions than bad faith arguments and there's so much of that when it comes to Cullen.

Actually, while we're on that, can I just add a note that when I first got into this fandom, I saw someone's post about Chee doing an interview where she said all those bad things about Cullen wanting to assault the mage warden and I was like, "What? An interview? What interview?? Where??" and I couldn't find shit until much later when I read another anti-Cullen post that cited a DA forum as the source for her saying those things... so not an interview. I went digging for the forum, went into the way back machine to find it.... only to discover that this smoking gun comes from a fanfiction forum where Mary Kirby was also talking about Sten and catgirls and y'all expect me to take that seriously?

We can have discussions about whether or not Cullen's a bad person or a bad character, but the moment you bring Sheryl Chee into it, I know you're here in bad faith and your argument is void.

Sorry for the tangent and the long answer but this is the stuff I enjoy. I could talk about the characters of DA for ages unprompted that when someone does throw me a bone, I will discuss and gush about them all.

#asks #dragon age #dao #da2 #dai #sebastian vael #aveline vallen #carver hawke #dai sera #cullen rutherford #vivienne de fer #i have to stop myself before i go on tangents about morrigan and wynne and anders and isabela and merrill and dorian and varric and-#literally everyone sksksks i can't help it #also on the flip side of this type of discussion i also love looking at characters that most people adore and discussing their flaws #like i love alistair he's my favorite companion in dao BUT it's easy to forgot that he can be just as petty and selfish too y'know?#if you don't execute loghain he can straight up just abandon you and leave and you'll find him in da2 as a drunk like... babe really left #and let you deal with the blight because he was so blinded by revenge and thirst for loghain's death and that's not great??#not really something that gets brought up because it's unflattering it's an ugly part of his character but it's there mingling with the goo #and if you have a good relationship with him but don't know how he'll react when you spare loghain that can be devastating too #but it's also super understandable WHY he reacts like that WHY he leaves even if it's a selfish move on his part and hurts you #i dunno i think sometimes we're scared to talk about the ugly parts of our favorite characters because we love them #and don't want them to be wrong especially in fandom with a lot of pissing matches and bad faith arguments y'know?#i dunno this is my spiel of the night: i love all my companions except sebastian who is just a character that exists to me #i wasn't joking when i said i'd like to be enlighted about sebby and his romance like....... explain elaborate educate

kny x tokyo ghoul au

was thinking abt following tokyo ghoul's storyline and making nezuko get organ donor ghoul-ified like kaneki but on second thought that seems a bit boring. the slayer marks (tanjiro's specifically- that one frame in the red light district arc where he looks like hes absolutely lost it) made me think of the sort of insanity thing with centipede kaneki when he started eating ghouls. (nezuko's bout of literally losing control of herself beating daki is probably a bit closer tho) dont know what to do with that. tanjiro being human and having to keep nezuko safe with her new life as a half-ghoul is pretty cool but i dont know. could make it different

#sakonji as coffee shop owner and sabito & giyuu as workers and the fox squad being the underground Good Ghouls makes me kick my feet #goth/alt vibe makomo as the mask maker MWAH and sabito & giyuu playing as regular college kids. giyuu 'eating' out with friends and #sabito drive-by eating his food before booking it (Sabito-! you bastard!) and later when theyre alone giyuu holding his hair back #(you should stop eating my food all the time..) ((im fine- as long as it makes it easier on you))#tanjiro working as a server & nezuko more as #.#i forgot hanae-san also voiced Kaneki #what the fuck is it with him and voicing the main characters of anime about the morality of cannibalism #its not much but its weird that its happened twice #i completely fucking forgot abt that and here i am literally putting tanjiro in his place #as i was saying nezuko has a 'job' there but shes not actually employed or forced to work she just hangs around in uniform like her brother #while tanjiro's the one thats employed. shes the cute mascot of the place and sabito gets hype with her and it entertains ppl #sabito nezuko interactions beloved<3 she makes him go big brother mode #giyuu's behind the counter helping sakonji make coffee so he doesnt have to interact with people (as much)#something something also half-ghoul genya being an antagonist at first until tanjiro & nezuko's bond makes him change his mind #and he becomes the newest employee at the coffee shop. que him and sabito bickering at eachother like children and tanjiro being so #sweetfaced and genuinely kind to him & giyuu being a chill comforting presence he can go to #confides in them his fear about his brother and the guilt he feels for being around them bc it puts them in danger #mm #sweet au. great playing field to ruin absolutely everyone #i should rewatch/read tokyo ghoul its been almost a year i think #do that then decide how i want the au to play out if i want it to try to follow that storyline or if i should do some worldbuilding fuckery #of my own instead to completely change how nezuko & genya's half-ghoulness would happen #i remember i dropped tokyo ghoulre but i dont remember why. didnt bother after that Hide scene in the anime but i dont remember y the manga #i was listening to Seijatachi for writing vibes and stared a bit too long at the album image i put #kny #tokyo ghoul #kamado tanjiro #kamado nezuko #kny x tokyo ghoul au

God nothing hits like early bleach, the substitute shinigami arc and rukia’s execution arc are just. Ugh. Something about the crunchy-ass early 2000s-ness of it that the rest of the series lost (not just animation wise but aesthetic wise), when there was still hope that all the potential would be capitalized on, idk, it was just fun and getting to fall in love with all the characters because pretty much every single one introduced was great and engaging. I just really really wish the series had kept that early vibe that it started losing once the visoreds were introduced, they got the last little tail end of it. As soon as we got to the heuco mundo arc this all vanished and it’s so upsetting, the series just lost a lot of its personality, if that makes sense, I wish it had kept it so badly

#like they’re all the same characters but they all started taking themselves way too seriously after that point #and I do get that that’s when the Big Plot actually started picking up (which is a whole other thing I have thoughts on)#but like… idk the series just lost a lot of its early charm and appeal #which is funny considering the hueco mundo arc is actually my favorite one #but idk I’m watching the first arc for fun today #and I forgot how much of ASSHOLES rukia and ichigo were and how fun their dynamic was #and yeah I fucking miss it it’s just not the same the rest of the series #not to mention tatsuki actually got a lot of focus #even Chad and Orihime and uryu felt a lot more genuine than they did the rest of the series #(though that’s because it was before they were reduce to being Ichigo’s love interest and then cannon fodder to shittily power scale enemies #by getting the shit beat out of them because kubo didn’t know how else to do it)#idk like I said! I just wish the series had stuck a lot better to its earlier aesthetic #like it still could have worked with the more ‘serious’ plot lines v easily considering how well it meshed with rukia’s execution #I JUST MISS RUKIA YELLING AT FLIP PHONES AND ICHIGO BEING BAD AT SNEAKING OUT WINDOWS AND TATSUKI RAGGING ON THEM #AND THEIR NORMAL ASS CLASSMATES TALKING ABOUT HOW FUCKING WEIRD THEY ALL WERE LIKE IT WAS SO GOOD 😩😩😩#imagine that energy being applied to the hueco mundo arc it would have been great #it even would have been fun to see it come back during the fullbringer arc as a bunch of fun callbacks to the early bleach that was #being alluded to that entire arc with parallels #anyways once again weeping the potential this series had #someone watch it so we can talk about it and set up our own insanely convoluted canon for funsies on discord or something lmfao #kaz rambles

for verre 😭: How easily do they cry? Do they ever cry in front of other people? When was the last time they cried?

In day-to-day life it's hard to make Verre cry. She's resilient in social situations, takes things as they come, and is excellent at keeping a cool head in emergencies - things have to be going extremely sideways for her to break down crying. She's an effective emotional rock for the people around her and a reliable shoulder to cry on for her loved ones.

That said, Verre is an incredibly sentimental person. Especially about flowers. Any gift of flowers - dried, pressed, fresh, or otherwise - will lead to her crying sooner or later, though she prefers to retreat to the privacy of her workshop before the tears start if she can. She's not always successful.

as far as the last time she's cried... it's hard to say. mostly because my timeline for her is still heavily under development... odds are it's a time where she gets overwhelmed with her memories or she's relieved after worrying about her family?

#answered asks #thank you for the ask!#oc: verre hyskaris #man i forgot how fun verre is to think about #she's a great character to contrast with the others #and comparing her recurring elements to my other characters is way more funky than i expect it to be #mechanical minded bun surrounds herself with machinery to subconsciously avoid thinking about the forest she left behind #only to be sucker punched with emotion/memories whenever she's presented with flowers #she wears them as penance. she wears them as healing. she wears them as memory.#and she's just. ;-; she's gonna be okay one day. just not today.#(short hair verre is her being okay/post character development/her recovered from the worst of her grief)#(i just haven't quite worked out the timeline of when she does it relative to nailah's journey...)#(its sometime post shb though. i think im gonna keep the whole 'verre gets yeeted to the first' idea after all)

There’s a difference between needing to be saved and asking somebody who cares about you for help.

Karin Slaughter, Girl, Forgotten

#im a moron bc i didnt realize this was basically the sequel to pieces of her #until i watched the show #i read the book so long ago lmao and i was watching pieces of her and was like wow a lot of her stories have US marshalls in them #and then i realized this laura is that laura and this gordon is that gordon etc etc #anyway #not as gruesome as karin slaughter can get #it was interesting and i got through it pretty quickly #but i did feel like i skipped a chapter or something #bc i was like ??? wait what did this person do how did we get here how did this escalate #a lot of time was spent on explaining the predicament which was great but i didnt quite understand the actual reveal #bc it was so fast #hence i think i skipped a chapter #and i read this back in february but just completely forgot to log it #there were also all these weird little quips that the main character was saying and i was like what #something about the only hood she had been to was a neighborhood??? or something along those lines #it took me out of the story every time #but as always with karin slaughter #entertaining #books

Natalya and Alexei! my ‘end of the world’ ocs. Some info about them lifted from discord messages to my friends under the cut

He's (Alexei) the deuteragonist along side an angry, traumatized 15 year old girl named Natalya that he acts kind of like an older brother to and a voice of reason (because someone needs to tell this hurting lonely child that you can reason your way out of a conflict and that stabbing isn't the only option)

tldr for the setting is that America dropped a nuclear bomb on the Ural Mountains in like 1985 and it cut the USSR the west off from Siberia completely, the rest of the world is falling apart but the story only really focuses on Siberia as a setting

technically they're Handmaids Tale ocs but I'm just taking the end of the world scenario Attwood set up and running with it in the complete opposite direction, I watched a single episode and went "americas a fundamentalist shitshow with sex slavery but how's the rest of the world handling the end of the world" and that led me to making these guys

#ghost scribbles #oc tag #original character #I watch a single episode of HMT with my dad and then watch a play through of TLOU and think these guys up #anyway I love them and their fucked up road trip across Siberia #Sorry Nat I love you but I am going to put you through so much trauma and make you almost unrecognizable to the person you once where #Alexei can vibe though but I will put his pacifism into question in increasingly violent situations #oh and I'm also reading up about russian orthodox because you can't have a HMT story without some cultists #this is so disconnected from June and her story and world she exists in I'm just taking the world ending scenario that led to that #and running with it #Siberia is a governmentless free for all with no external help after america dropped a bomb on russia that fucked the urals up so bad that #theyre now completely disconnected from the ussr #and a combo of plague and a harsh winter and no external support ended up killing a LOT of people #this is mostly a story in my brain but I will hopefully draw some more stuff for them #OH I forgot to mention it but Alexei is entirely pre-op he spent his life pre-bomb in the closet and decided that #if the world was going to end and he was going to die he wasnt going to do it pretending to be someone hes not #tldr he decide that the end of the world was a great time to transition #he will transition physically later on in the story when they make to the Alaska

I am not immune to Running Up That Hill 💃

(also more rambling about ST in the tags, mostly positive)

#and with all his talk about running #i'm surprised I didn't associate with Eddie earlier like #it's no longer 'running away". it's 'running up' that road #And also also how the town says he has a deal with the devil. but then in the song is even bigger it's A Deal with God #like 'let me steal this moment from you now'??? It's a response to Steve and his 'don't be a hero' warning #stranger things #he'll be missed #but i mean. with bob being great last season (people just don't talk enough about it bc he aint conventionally attractive) and then #they killed him clean off at the very end of last season even though he did nothing wrong #i mean if he had stayed in the building with doctor man (i forgot his name) quietly the demadogs probs wouldn't have killed hi #maybe right i don't know all #but I do think it was stupid that almost every character they introduced this season. they killed #except for Argyle (Bless. he's too amazing to die) and the Russian guys for some reason #but I'm not complaining much bc I liked them too #While I like additions. i hope next season they don't introduce anyone new and work on the crew we got #especially the kids as they're becoming older teenagers in this less than less than less than ideal scenario #seriously imagine being Will - haunted for years. fighting bloodthirsty monsters. straying away from his friends. then moving away #how can you be normal in this context???#AND MORE DUZIE #DUSTIN SUPREMACY #st

🌞💖❌ for the writing asks!

Do you have a preferred time of day to write? To come up with ideas, it's any time between midnight and four in the morning. To write on paper it's definitely the afternoon. To write on my computer it's late evenings. I proofread at any hour of the day though. overall, i am a chaotic, unsleeping creature.

What made you start writing? interesting question. well, i was a creative and not so social child so of course i was creating fun stories all the time. then i turned to art instead and forgot about writing, my first love, for a short while. i started actually writing my first story when I was around 11? 12? due to boredom, really. i won't say a word about my middle school experience, but yeah. boredom. i actually started writing online around that time, but didn't enjoy it much. so we get to the more interesting part of my answer: what made me start writing english fanfiction on AO3? i've probably mentioned that i learned a lot of english through reading blue exorcist fanfiction. specifically, my absolute favourite, which haunts me to this day (and i've started re-reading it like... yesterday), kizmet's Tear Me Down series (which... i wouldn't call it a rec because it has Issues, so i'd need at least four paragraphs of warnings and criticisms before recommending it.). this solidified a few things for me. 1) AO3 is just amazing good lord. 2) whump is a great genre. 3) fanfiction can be cathartic to read when it's not inherently cringe because french. it then takes me a few years to actually feel like writing fanfiction, i scrap a multi-chapter project and only keep part of a baptism scene, and boom, we get El alma que anda en amor... so, boredom and blue exorcist.

What's a trope you will never write? oh i have plenty. i may read it if it's well-written, not too smutty, and not just a sexy remix of bioessentialism, but i won't be caught DEAD writing A/B/O. i don't write drunk confessions, only one bed, cuddling for warmth, anything nsfw (unless i am paid. anything for the bag girl.), soulmates (but i read it. my favourite is sodoroses' Chipped Tea Sets) and truly just a fuckton of shit. but most of these could change, so, above all, (and if i ever go back on my word may god strike me where i fucking stand) i won't write miscommunication. i don't fuck with that.

#hope my rambly answers were satisfying enough for you lmao #but yeah no don't read tear me down unless you're ready to look away from quite a few things. it's very good tho.#the plot is just... amazing. i wish it were less overwhelmingly straight. but it's not too bad. could be worse.#anyway the better rec. chipped tea sets doesn't feel like fanfiction bc the author took those characters and ran.#put them in a whole extremely rich au and forgot all about canon. and yk what? it fucking works. also great aro and ace characters.#read chipped tea sets.#ota's ask answers
