Celestial Navigation by @sabrecmc
18 year old Omega!Tony finds himself Bonded to Captain Steve Rogers. He isn't happy about it until he is.
An absolutely gorgeous story of learning to love yourself, even when you feel like you don't fit in & that you grew up wrong. I'm so happy to have gotten to bind this mammoth work for Sabre & as a gift exchange for @mourningmountainsbindery (who bound me this beautiful copy of Astolat's Let the River Run—JUST LOOK AT THAT COVER!).
Also to anyone who has @ed me lately (looking at u, em @powerful-owl & tacky @tackytigerfic particularly) & I've been derelict in responding, here is WHY.
This has been the longest binding project I've undertaken, both in page count and in time. My original message to Sabre was on March 16th—can't decide if I want to use the laughing or crying emoji here—and the colophon says I made the book in April 2023 (which was when I started typesetting, maybe). I had been randomly perusing dying videos on Youtube in bed on a Saturday morning, as one does, and came across a video showing how to spiral tie-dye. I IMMEDIATELY had a design premonition of the full design for this fic as a two-volume set, planted into my brain wholesale by the binding gods. I learned many new techniques throughout the process (edge painting, edge trimming/sanding, tie-dying/dyepainting, embroidery, typesetting meta from tumblr which copy-pastes with the worst goddamn formatting in the world, kill me now). Overall, alternately extremely painful & wonderful, and I'm extremely proud of this set.
Design-wise, I went whole-hog with the scifi stars theme. Endpapers are recolored versions of the star charts from the Apollo 11 mission:

Title page & chapter titles are both rips in the galaxy:

Epigraphs both star-themed:

Some more glamor shots because I'm so proud 💕

8.6 lbs // 3.8 kgs worth of books (~3000 total pages) 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Celestial Navigation is also INCREDIBLY popular, and Sabre has been incredibly generous answering asks on her tumblr + writing additional one-shots in the universe. There is also a veritable volume of fanart. I was so inspired by seeing @robins-egg-bindery copy of ********, with its appendix of fanart & meta, that I promptly copied them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
fanart redacted because lots of the artists are no longer active on tumblr but just know i am ECSTATIC about the amount of art in these books
Lastly, I love how @clovenhoofbindery includes their 'Illustrator mess' with their bind posts, as a behind-the-scenes look into the wild process of designing these books. I don't actually have an Illustrator mess for this book (the chapter titles & title page pretty much came in one take), but I do have a DYING MESS. It took me sososo many tries to figure out how to get the dye to look how I imagined in my head. I ended up 'dye painting' instead of tie-dying in the end, but my inbox is always open to chat hand-dying/tie-dying/dyepainting (or what I did differently between any of these attempts). Numbers are the dying attempt.
Tumblr media
Last process shot: I hand-dyed variegated linen thread to match the colors of the bind, which ends up being incredibly difficult to see on the finished bind, but was super fun while I was sewing!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Materials:
Body font: Kepler
Title font: Compaq 1982
Chapter number font: aliens & cows
Endpapers: recolored versions of the star chart used by Michael Collins during the Apollo 11 mission (archived at The Smithsonian)
Bookcloth: dyed using Dharma Trading Procion Fiber-Reactive Dyes
Title page and chapter headers: designed in Photoshop using the Ultimate Space brush pack by jeffrettalyn on DeviantArt
Metallic embroidery thread: Cosmo Nishikiito thread
I would dye for this embroidery thread. It is LIGHT YEARS better than the classic metallic embroidery thread from DMC: much easier to work with & much more sparkly. Literally so eye-catching; it truly doesn't translate to photos.
Paint for edges: Daniel Smith watercolor tubes in Iridescent Sunstone and Prussian Blue
Note: these are GORGEOUS watercolors. The color is so saturated and strong and beautiful BUT I don't think I'd recommend watercolors for edge painting. They went on very differently depending on the grit of the sandpaper I used for the edges + they sometimes bled into the pages + they had to be set with fixative, which then stuck the pages together.

Getting feelings over Max releasing a little Lion named Jimmy as merch. It makes me think about how maybe its based off of little!Max’s favorite plushie. And how maybe little!Max wants to give you one too, and he’s all shy about giving you the present but also a little proud bc it was his idea? And look its here now?? Huhu. All your littles just give me all the feels 😭😭
Also the D/S au lestappen idea of having the same professional dom in Monaco tho. 👀👀👀 Like, how do they find about each other? Did they run into each other when one was leaving/arriving? Maybe after it at first they’re kinda awkward around each other? And then maybe if they’re at like a triple header and haven’t seen their dom in like 3 weeks, they kinda commiserate with each other over how much they miss them???
Aw okay yes I love both of these ideas so much!! I'm so happy you guys are enjoying all the littles content! And yeah I'm also loving this lestappen idea, so I'm gonna tag it with 'D/S AU - lestappen' so that we can group all the content about it because I would LOVE to discuss it more and develop it further. I'm gonna discuss each of these ideas a little bit and then I can always expand on them in future asks if you guys would like :))
LITTLE!MAX:
Jimmy the lion!!! Max is so so proud of him!! Of course max was absolutely terrified of releasing it as merch, and his management certainly looked at him like he'd gone insane when he first suggested it. But he wanted to do it so badly.
I almost think it's a way for max to accept his little space into his every day life? For so long he denied that aspect of himself, refused to acknowledge it until he couldnt stop a drop. He wouldn't prepare for it at all, never allowing himself to buy plushies or toys or cute jammies for his little self.
But now that he's grown to accept that side of him and actually allows himself to think about it and prepare for it and plan for it? He lets himself look over his schedule and allocate time just to regress and be cared for.
He's come so far and he just... he wants a way to represent his little self in his merch and in how people see him. The lion plushie is absolutely perfect for that and while his fans are a little confused when it gets announced, they absolutely LOVE it.
And oh my god of course he must give you one!! He's so nervous for that, so nervous to give you something like that because it's so so special to him. He waits until he's regressed, wrapping the present nicely in his adult headspace and leaving it with his toys for him to get when he regresses.
You're so shocked when little max crawls into your lap later and shyly hands you a gift, making you promise you won't laugh before you open it. And of course you love it!!! You give both your maxy and your new jimmy a forehead kiss, promising maxy that you'll take good care of your new plushie.
D/S AU - LESTAPPEN:
I love the idea that they run into each other outside of the building? So maybe you're a professional dom in Monaco known for being exclusive and private, so much so that you have your own studio that you use for scenes. This means that there's no way either of them could have been there for something different when they run into each other.
Max is exiting your studio, a small smile on his face and zero tension in his body because he's just finished his scene with you and he feels so good. What max loves about you is how you always give your subs as much aftercare as possible, allowing them to cuddle with you for hours until they're ready to leave.
On that day, max stayed even longer than usual so that when he left, Charles was already there waiting for his scene. Charles, conversely, was all stress and nervous energy. He needed this scene so bad, needed to be taken into subspace and made to feel whole again.
They're in shock when they run into each other, neither of them knowing what to say now that they knew. Even though both of them had official team doms to use an emergency, those doms couldnt raise a candle to you.
"You too?" max asks, surprised. Charles just nodded and headed inside, not being in the right headspace at all to think about the fact that max also scened with you.
Charles doesn't mention this to you when the scene starts, and he and max don't acknowledge it for weeks until it's the third race in a triple header and neither of them have been back to Monaco since before the triple header began.
Charles goes to max to complain about how much he misses you because he knows Max would understand. Anyone else he tells would just tell him to use the Ferrari team dom if he needs to be taken down, but no thats not what he needs. He needs you, and he knows max will understand.
Max does understand, and they end up talking about how good of a dom you are and how much they miss you. After that, they talk about it more and more.
I also think they'd start to talk about how much they both hate the idea of you domming other people? They know you're a professional dom and so of course you have other clients and neither of them have any right to be upset about that. But well... even though they're submissive they're both also possessive of you. They both want you with them all the time and their skin crawls when they think of how they're all alone missing you and you're busy domming other clients.
Interestingly, neither of them seem to mind that you dom the other though...

TMAGP 12 Thoughts: Nostalgia Bait
I have no real preamble on this one. I think it was a fun, straight forward, episode without too too much to really sink out not-soft teeth into here. Also please laugh at that subtitle, I'm very proud of it.
Spoilers for episode 12 below the cut.
A lot of office stuff here it feels like. Not a huge amount to really say on it as like with the rest of this episode it's more building on stuff we've already seen than it is adding new things to the show. Which is obviously not a bad thing but it's fairly straightforward. Celia and Sam are going on a date, which is cute, and Alice is very obviously jealous, which is also cute.
"You wouldn't be tempted?" "No" [bzzt]. Uh huh.
So first things first for the incident, this episode took places on 09/03/2024. 09/03/2024 is the date the incident in episode 10, Saturday Night, was filed. So everything that went down here was the same night that Gwen gave Bonzo the instructions and presumably he just killed whoever had their name in their. We don't really know who that was as of yet. Of the known characters I said it'd likely be Klaus but this was someone new. They're only identified as "Baz" in the episode, assuming the first victim was the main target, and we don't know any Bazs, Basils, or Barrys AFAIK. But if that's someone Gwen would know I think that only leaves two or three people it could be. I think most people will think Baz is a Bouchard or some other family member. I think it's possible that it's either someone on the corporate ladder that Lena eliminates as a show of "this is what it takes to move up in this company". There has been a lot of focus on Gwen's naivety in that area after all. The last main option I see is that it could just be someone fairly "random". Not someone Gwen is necessarily connected to but just some form of threat. Gwen "knows" them more in a general sense of "you know what I'm sending him to do, eliminate a threat". Hard to say just from the incident alone. The lunchbox and theme tune are "real" too, which is fun.
Outside of that not a load to say but it was a fun episode and it's nice to see Bonzo doing Bonzo things. It's really interesting that he appears to have either two "forms" or that he's got some sort of mental manipulation abilities. When Gwen saw Bonzo, despite being aware of him from TV, she reacted with abject horror. The party guests didn't. So either Bonzo didn't look like his current self or he's able to manipulate people's perception of him. Both would account for the reactions he got. Just a guy in a Bonzo suit. Not a sweaty meaty monster.
After that we just see Gwen horrified by the case. Which is an understandable reaction but I don't think its an elucidating one. I wouldn't say how she reacts shows anything beyond terrifying realisation about what the OIAR is. Her brief conversation with Alice also leans in that direction. So if it's a family member it doesn't look like one who's loss is felt as an immediate gut punch.
The only other comment I have on this is how refreshingly different Bonzo is being treated as a primary monster in this show. Unlike in TMA which did a lot of slow build up, small appearances, and things like that we've gotten two episodes very close together where he shows up and is a large focal point of the episode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incident/CAT#R#DPHW Master Sheet
DPHW Theory: 4728 all seems pretty reasonably for what we saw. Death and Helplessness were not major thematic factors but Pain and Weird very much were.
CAT# Theory: 1.
R# Theory: B is totally in line with my ideas on this.
Header talk: Mascot (Kids) -/- Frenzy is what I have been waiting for. Sweet repetition. Sweet, sweet repetition. Episode 10, Saturday Night, was CAT1RB2275 - Mascot (Kids) -/- Murder. An identical Section (Subsection) with a different Crosslink.
This largely confirms that Crosslinks impact DPHW gradings. It doesn't say much about how these things are calculated but I'd wager it's something like Section (Subsection) gets a rating that is then modified by a Crosslink. Rather than all those combinations being in the book. It's not exactly useful information but does give more clarity on the role of the Crosslinks. With both cases having the same CAT#R# it's impossible to say at the moment whether that can be changed by the Crosslink.

Hello Horseblr, as your resident horse girl [like half a joke] I am here to offer my redraw of my very first horse drawing [finished one]
The first one you see is the new one done just today, These drawings believe it or not are actually only 5 months and a few days apart [not planned I just randomly got motivated to use my last sketchbook page [basically] for this redraw
I personally really see the improvements in even just this short amount of time and it makes me really really excited to continue creating and drawing horses like this :))
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sorry that this last image is a little blurry its really late and I guess my arms are a bit shaky?
P.S. Yes I did just put the new one as my little banner/header thing, I'm very proud :)

I wanted to ask how you got started in learning to make your own templates like this! They're very intricately gorgeous but there's little to no tutorials coming up every time I try to search? Is there also some form of coding involved? Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much! No coding involved. Google Docs is basically like Microsoft word but less rigid, it allows you to do almost anything you like as long as you know how to manipulate its tools. I have a bit of a background in coding so, though it doesn't involve code, thinking about the layout of a doc like the page of a website is helpful. I only started making docs for character sheets three years ago when I started rping on Discord. Doc templates or doc character sheets are essential on Discord for literate rp and from the jump I saw the potential in the program. I made my own from the start and the first one I ever made was better than any I had ever seen (at the time) even though I had never done it before. (This is my first ever doc if you're curious) - this is my personal information and design, do not copy, do not steal. Definitely not my best anymore but still proud. Never even touched another template before then. I had no teacher, no tutorial. I just went in, played around, made my own rules. In fact, a lot of the things you see people do on doc templates these days, I was the first to do them. I've happily taught fellow creators how to make navigation bars using headers as a way to link to certain spots on a page, great ways on how to implement Drawings (not too much though, text on Drawings is inaccessible to many), even putting likes and dislikes in a list was uncommon before I did it. Like web design, there are trends in the doc world. Knowing the basics of how to make tables do what you want opens doors to everything but really, if you want to create something uniquely you, the best way to do it is just to play around, explore, and invent your own new uses. There no one answer to how to do it, more than one way to skin a cat. (Terrible phrase) I've created some "tutorial-ish" advice answered asks posts that you can read if you'd like more advice on how to up your doc game and if you or anyone ever has a question on "how did you do this on this doc?" or "I want to do this specific thing, how would you do that?", my dms are always open and if you want to talk on Discord, we can do that too. - How to get started/Breaking to learn - How to see in tables - Resources I use There might be other good advice in my other answered asks too. But yeah! Message me privately any questions you have. I try not to post too much other than important helpful information and my doc templates because I have a lot of followers I try to be respectful of. I'm always happy to speak to those that are interested in docs. Hope this was helpful and I can't wait to see what you create. I'm also willing to give advice on how to open your own shop selling docs and building a brand and followers.
Thank you to everyone who supports me and reading this much if you did. Love you all.

The lurker anon reappears! Thank you for answering my questions, and I’d love to hear the backstory of your macaque theme!
Also, I forgot to label myself. Silly me. Mmm 🤔… perhaps peach🍑 anon if it’s free? Because- unrelated to the cute and cheeky monkey man- I really, really love peaches!
YOO hello again!! And yeah, 🍑 anon is free!! I haven't tried eating peaches but they look so aesthetic,, the only peach flavored thing i tried was a peach drink and i ordered it PURELY bcs of LMK HHAHSHSAH
time for some blog lore..... THIS IS GONNA BE KINDA LONG AND RAMBLY SO BE WARNED-
Before this account was made, I actually had a different tumblr account for personal use (I never log into it anymore though lol) instead of writing. I was in the LMK fandom at the time, so I was reading x reader fics EVERYWHERE I could, from wattpad to tumblr to ao3.
And wouldn't you know it, when I was scrolling through the tags on tumblr I saw someone promoting their newly written fic they made on ao3!! I read it, loved the premise, and left a kudos and a comment (I think I left a comment? I'm not sure, I was a lurker as well when it came to reading HSDHSD).
Not too long after, I was scrolling through their blog and saw a post of them asking for any possible writing friends to interact. I thought 'hey!! i can write!!' and promptly sent them a dm. We chatted over our brainrot of the stinky monkeys and we grew to be pretty close writing buddies!! I even got to come up with a ship name for a pairing in the fic (the pairing was Macaque and Y/n, and Y/n in the fic was a baker, so I proposed the ship name 'Mooncake'. Still super proud of that ngl!! I'm pretty sure I made one for Wukong and Y/n too, but I forgot what it was </33 Mooncake was just so iconic to me).
We bounced off ideas from each other, and I sent them posts about Wukong (they were a Wukong Apologist and honestly, slay), and one of them actually managed to influence their characterization for him in a later chapter!! I was even writing my own LMK x reader fic at the time, and while I gave up on it after a while, they were the first person to ever read the first few paragraphs and gave me their thoughts.
Eventually, I had an urge to make a whole blog dedicated to x reader writings because I was inspired by them to make one, and when I told them they told me to go for it!!
Here's where the important bit comes in: This person's blog was themed around Sun Wukong. They're a Monkey King lover, they fucking love that stupid smelly monkey man!! So I told them "hey wouldnt it be funny if my blog was Macaque themed so we could match?" and they went "DUDE"
And boom!! That's the reason why my blog is Macaque themed!! I went through a LOT of custom tumblr themes (you know where you open someones blog and instead of being the regular tumblr blog layout its a totally new one that they customized themselves? Yeah that was me), meanwhile my friend just stuck to a simple 'Wukong pfp + header and orange background'. I think that matched our character themes really well HAHSAHSAH
Unfortunately, I'm sure that my friend is not working/active anymore. Their last post on tumblr was them apologizing for the lack of updates because of art school, and that was it. I don't know how long it's been since I checked up on the fic, but when I did, I found that their ao3 account was orphaned. So it's probably safe to assume that theyre not coming back to their tumblr acc either.
But still... I kept my Macaque theme. Even when my LMK interest started to fade and other media took over my brain, I refused to change it. Idk why, sentimentality I guess? It just felt wrong.
I have no idea where they are now, honestly. I just hope theyre doing okay. They were a super cool person, and I loved their fic and I loved talking to them and I loved being their friend!! Even if they probably wont see this post, I just want them to know how much of an impact they had on me. It was because of them I made this account, and got into writing requests and fics. And even if that didn't work out, they got me back to writing in general! They were an awesome person and they deserve everything good in life!!
Augugh this got sentimental... My bad!! Ngl, I've been secretly waiting for someone to ask me why my blog was Macaque themed, but the chance of that happening was really slim so I held the Blog Lore™ in. BUT NOW I CAN FINALLY SAY WHAT IVE BEEN HOLDING IN FOR YEARS RAHHH
Thanks for asking this, btw 🍑 anon!! Sorry if this was so rambly and long, my mind do be like that (incomprehensible to decipher sometimes). I'd love to see you pop in some more, if youd like!!
Oh!! And since ur a Wukong lover as well, you should read their fic!! It's unfinished, but I think you should give it a shot. The chapters are long, the writing style and interactions between characters are great, and the development and pining is well done!!
I realize that this sounds biased, but ermm..... IDC GO READ THEIR FIC!!! (/nf) Kudos and comment bcs they deserve it!! Even if they dont get to see it, I'd like to at least cheer them up on the off chance that they do.
Here's the fic!! And their tumblr acc too, because they make some pretty banging drawings for their writing!!

My art journey in the start of pandemic til now through the eyes of how i draw my persona Nari
Tumblr media
Very first iteration of the Nari sona lol
(ew boobs)
I used to draw on paper and trace it on ibispaint and color. I used to shade with black. Pretty much looks shitty and the colors clash a lot, i dont know how to do color combos yet. This was around February of 2021
Tumblr media
Thus is where the whole arm warmers thing cane from!!
And the start of ne figuring out my identity!!
I also drew this on paper i think, and it's the start of my thin line art style. My sona usually copies what my hair looked like currently and this was the time where my hair was pretty short, but long enough to look girly.
The skin tone was fixed too
This was June 2021
Tumblr media
This one had my real name in it so i had to edit lol.
This was the start of me drawing on my phone full time, i think. No more drawing on paper ans tracing it. This was legitimately drawn digitally.
i think i only ever mentioned it once or twice but i only draw with my fingers btw. A stylus and an art tablet is expensive so i only have mt fingers and phone.
This is also the start of the appearance of the signature striped hoodie as well as the return of the purple hair
This was in August 2021
Tumblr media
I think this was also fully drawn digitally
Also the first appearance of the bat and the choker, as well as the purple bangs. And also the bandage on cheek (that i somehow forget sometimes)
The colors were definitely darker.
Not much to say about this. Tho i didn't like the way i did the blush.
Also cut my hair during this time for the first time ans changed my sona accordingly.
Made in September 2021
From here on out its all drawn digitally
Tumblr media
Fully digital again and the start of a more stylized version of my hair.
This is the start of the fluffy hair era.
Not much to say here. Tried a new pose, it sucked, colors are still the same.
This was made in November 2021
Tumblr media
Full body this time
Nari starts to look like a little shit. This is honestly where the smug cat personality came from, and i startes to sign my art using the name Nari too.
Still pretty much wonky with the anatomy but i'm proud!!
The hoodie became a croptop but i dont follow it lol, it's still a normal hoodie in some art.
Added stripes to the sleeves too.
The short remains plus differenr colored socks!!
This was January 2022
Tumblr media
The era of the thick line art art style
This was also one of the drawings that featured fluffu hair Nari.
I deviated from the usual hoodie and gave them some new clothes since i drew them alongside two other ocs.
The story that my sona Nari is in requires them to have an eyepatch since red eyes aren't really that natural lol.
Still have that smug cat smirk.
This was August 2022
Tumblr media
This is the latest drawing of Nari before i stopped using them as a sona and actually using one that looks closer to me. Nari is back to being an oc now but they're still my mascot.
I forgot the bandage here lol, but that cat grin is still there. I also added my beauty mark!!
This is January 2023
Lately my sona is just this funny little thing:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It looks more closer to what i actually look like irl.
I started drawing myself with my glasses more too, which i think i got in like 2022-ish.
I started feelong a bit jealous that my other artist friends had a cute style so i started making this little thing when j got bored during pur chemistry subject and it just stuck.
So this is my actual sona now, but i still use Nari from time to time and also took the name Nari as a pseudonym online.
The name cane from me misspelling the word Ocarina with Ocnarina, so you can see me use that name throughout my art journey.
Not really comfortable sharing my actual name yet tho, but it does start with an R since the people on my header (art made by a friend) is called the Toys R Us trio since out names start with an R lol.
As for my username, i used tumblr before to look at Sanders Sides art. It came from Virgil lol.
Virgil was confirmed to be connected with spiders and i thought
Virgil is spidey
And that stuck.
Plus he's purple lol, i love purple.
Anyways that's all

Fanfic Asks
A, D, F, J, T
I'll leave the fic up to you - talk to me about your favourite!
💖 Thank You for the Asks! 💖
I reordered a bit for spoiler purposes - hope you don’t mind.
A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?
Something like a Spiral - Honestly, probably should have just went straight ‘Spiral’, but too late, no take backs, it stuck. Its a song - Spiral by Godsmack. Very thematic to the whole story. Randall Flagg’s fuckery and being stuck in these reiterations. It just… fit.
Just Keep Diving Down - ‘the rabbit hole’ would finish it off. Reference to Alice in Wonderland (Are we really surprised here? It's kind of my whole thing…) I mean hell, Glen has the line “Let’s see how far down the rabbit hole goes.” which I have plastered on my Tumblr header. To completely solidify the decision, I heard it in ‘White Rabbit’ by Central Egypt when I was debating titles as well. While the song doesn’t completely fit the whole vibe, it stuck.
D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?
Oh boy, and how. I’m crazy with my playlists. While there are story playlists, I much prefer my character playlists. Oh it’s a Glen chapter, let's vibe for a bit. Lloyd? Ok, switch it up. Etc. I have all of my playlists on Spotify, and linked in my ‘Jumping to Wonderland’ main post.
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
I really liked how this turned out, because it was one of those times where I hit a block. I wanted Glen to be comforting, stop her from crying, and it wasn’t flowing right. Felt stale. So I talked with @impuretale , and she gave me sage advice: What if he made it worse? And that worked. Well, at least I hoped it did…
Laughter mingled amongst her crying. While his smile met his eyes in that familiar twinkle, it still pulled at her heart. “I don’t know that I can protect you.”
"Maybe you can't, Giggles…"
It hit her like a punch to the gut. Her stomach dropped while his smile remained. Twinkling eyes while her insides felt hollowed out. "Maybe this is what was always meant to be. And maybe there's some truth in what he told you."
Her breathing started to quicken in pace, and she attempted to hold it in her lungs if only to feel some sort of control. How could he say that? New tears stung her eyes, and the burn went all the way to her throat where she held back the air desperately wanting to escape in a breath.
"Maybe you shouldn't ‘waste your energy on dead men’, as he put it. You need it for him. To make this all mean something."
She couldn't hold it any longer, and the tears broke past once more. He pulled her back in another embrace, and she buried her face into his chest as the sobs racked her body. He held her solid, reassuring and comforting while still completely shattering her heart. There was no holding back now; these were harsh truths she might have to accept. Her breathing began to even out as he rubbed circles on her back. Once it was regulated, he pulled away; just enough to look her in the eyes.
"Mother Abagail said that we need to have faith. I'm not sure what's beyond here. God. An afterlife. Heaven. Hell. I don't have much faith in all that. But I have faith in you. If this is going to be successful, you'll need to be ready for him."
He put a hand on her cheek, and her shoulders slumped down, head leaning forward to rest against his. A brief moment passed before he urged her to look back at him. Her eyes still shimmered wet, but held anything further at bay.
“So what do you say, Giggles? Give this another shot?”
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
I mean, if it's well written, I’ll read just about anything. I don’t tend to seek out stuff like A/B/O, and honestly, not into a whole lot of overly explicit smut without a good solid plot to accompany. (I know I know - I write it, but I’m smut light, at best.) Plot heavy and hurt/comfort is my jam. But again, if it's written well, I usually don’t have any ‘no go’s. 
J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].
Going with ‘Just Keep Diving Down’, and since this is major spoilers - putting below a cut.
The major character death aspect of this really fucking destroyed me. Since you’re here, you most likely don’t care about spoilers, so towards the end, Glen dies. Again. The thing I started writing these goddamn stories to fix. I struggled with this for months. In denial. Not happy. Very upset. (Hell, I still am. Can’t listen to ‘Run Away to Mars’ without crying anymore because it was the song playing when I was writing it all.)  I knew the goal was to bring him back, ghost form. Gives him the best of both worlds then, travel with Hayden to new worlds pain free, while still being able to see his prior wife. Win win. Still fucking hurt.
So alternate would have been Not. Fucking. Doing. That. It was the original plan. Hayden and Glen were going to be working for the organization still, taking things in a better direction. That was the goal, and one day, my Glen muse hit me with a ‘yeah, you won’t like this, but…’ Why couldn’t we just follow the plan guys? WHY CAN’T WE FOLLOW THE PLAN?!

fic writer ask game: 4 for "Void", 23, 30
4. What detail in Void are you really proud of?
Okay, honestly? The very beginning, having Hera recognize Zagreus as Zeus's son because he stinks of lightning was a little detail I really enjoyed. She's jealous enough to wonder who this kid is everyone is obsessed with, why nobody told her about him, and start suspecting foul play. But for Zagreus to show up just leaking lightning was the final nail in his coffin. What bad luck on his part.
23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?
HMM I'm still trying to figure out a fairytale story, and I think I have a WIP that's going to fit the bill with Aphrodite creating a challenge just for the Tartarus (Hell) of it. SADLY I'm still on a Patrochilles fixation, which is niche, I know. But basically fairy tale rules-- fall in love/whatever by a specific time/date or there will be dire consequences.
30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?
This is such an interesting question because I'm not entirely certain what "comfort zone" means. Any time I write for a new fandom, that's me getting out of my comfort zone. Relinquish was a fic that I'm not terribly proud of--on rereading their are some clunky sections-- but it came to be because I couldn't stop thinking about the absolute yearning of Thanzag and just needed to write it out. The first draft was more of a doodle than a story, and it stayed that way for a while. But in writing it, I kind of broke the dam for me to come up with a dozen other stories for them, long and short.
Writing about new or unfamiliar topics isn't necessarily out of my comfort zone because I love learning random things. To write Gold and its sequel, I ended up reading scientific articles about how sprinting works and listening to podcasts about famous athletes falling from grace. I don't know what it's like to be an Olympic athlete (and I never ever will) but it's been super fun to learn various aspects about that world and throw them in a fic. Also about smoky meat Thursday in Greece.
And to answer this question incorrectly, I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned while writing is that I need to know how to get my characters out of a situation before I begin posting or even writing in earnest. I do some outlining, although mostly what I do is write down snippets of scenes I want to include and just headers for others, but if I have a problem at the beginning, no matter how silly, I won't continue working on that fic until I know how the problem gets resolved. This stops me from writing myself into a corner early on or posting and realizing I simply cannot figure out how to work this fic. I think that's the only lesson of mine that I actually do every time, lmao. Like, yes, my fics are better if I leave them for a few days and come back and edit, but also I love yeeting things into the world and moving on.

Hi again i hope your doing well<3 can u do redestro with s/o that his mood weather quirk like pepa from encanto if you watched it but if you didn't please tell me<3
darling, please calm down—
Tumblr media
﹫redestro ( yotsubishi rikiya )
♡ fem! reader
♡ genre; fluff
♡ note; forcing myself to post lol anyway, i literally kin pepa with a little camilo on the side also i'm really proud with the picture the header i made. ↓ don't use it unless you give me credit.
side note- don't mind the fact that i keep changing how i spell re-destro's name-
Tumblr media
━ that quirk? yeah. it's hot, he thinks it's attractive if i'm being honest.
━ when he first met you; you had a scowl on your face due to how “annoying” skeptic was being to you.
━ something about?; “you're gonna be a drag to the liberation army. ” yada yada yada, you weren't listening. you were too busy trying to not make a hurricane.
━ you were just a new, mere, stubborn member in the mla, you weren't included in the lieutenants nor was in a “special” group of the army.
━ but soon after, due to your powerful quirk and your anger issues you managed to get in geten's side of the army where he lead the; “vanguard action guerilla warfare regiment: violet.” as the commander.
━ you became the co-commander to the violet regiment due to how powerful you became as months went by after you arrived.
━ your efforts and power weren't unnoticed by redestro, you were praised by him once; which made you twitch and shake in anticipation since praise by him is as if being praised by god so why not.
━ you soon realized that you had feelings for him, but quickly discarded it as “its probably just admiration” but the feelings inside you grew stronger day by day as you walk past by him in the halls.
━ you never made an effort to confess to him, nor planned to; but unfortunately trumpet overheard your friends teasing you about your crush on redestro. which made you burst like thunder in a sunny day everyone knows you hate being teased by something so stupid, which to them. is funny. therefore they tease you. what good friends.
━ trumpet immediately told redestro about and gave him a smirk, even though you have anger issues you are infact pretty gorgeous.
your sun earrings dangling from your ears, your effort to calm down when you feel like you're about to erupt like a volcano, your attempts to be cheerful, everything about you was quite endearing.
not a single person from the liberation could deny, especially redestro himself.
━ when redestro confronted you about it you were quite.. in denial—
Tumblr media
you stared at the brown haired man in disbelief, how dare he accuse you of having feelings for you! you don't have feelings for him! it's admiration! there's a difference!!,
you stumbled on your words for a few moments before gripping the horizontal book in your hands tightly.
“h-how dare you accuse me of having such feelings for you! they're admiration! you may be the grand commander but it is not nice of you to accuse a woman like me with THAT! ” you let go of the book with your dominant hand and gripped it on the other, you pointed a finger at him as you ‘lectured’ him.
while you ‘yelled’ at him with eyes closed, his smile only grew more; so when you opened your eyes to look at him you stood quietly for quite awhile.
there was a cloud on top of your head but it wasn't raining, it wasn't gray, nor did any lightning appeared; just a simple cloud looming near your head.
you blushed, grumbling a few words as you walked away from the gorgeous man.
you didn't have feelings for him, you didn't have feelings for him, you didn't have—
you felt a palm wrap around your wrist, halting you from your stubborn walking.
you looked behind you to find redestro smiling as he held your wrist in his hand, you turned your body to face him and-
“i like you too, [ nickname ].”
what? he? what-? wh- wait what?!
Tumblr media
━ next day you were spotted with redestro; a wrapped arm perfectly in between his shoulder and elbow, blushing like a mad woman.
━ each time someone asked, redestro would always say the truth and embarrassed the hell out of you which in result; was you blushing crazily as hide your pretty face with your hair or- SOMETHING-
━ he tolerated your anger issues like how he tolerated geten's, you were still in the regiment violet; serving as the co-commander for that group. you didn't want to have your own side since it would be a hassle atleast- that's what you said.
━ whenever you were mad at something and a large gray cloud starts looming in the large room threatening to strike lightning at someone, he'd come up to you and gently pat your back; telling you to calm down and it's not a big deal. unless- it is. like having one of his subordinates killed something like that i don't know.
━ he likes to tease you by suddenly opening the door, both loudly and - well. loudly. i forgot what i was gonna say-
and you'd always shout his name after his stunt, smacking the back of his neck lightly.
━ he loves you though, and you love him.

I see all these RM crying foul because according to them the ref sided with Barca and I am here to call them out on their BS. The ref allowed RM to get away with a lot of nasty fouls in the first half. I’ll be the first to say that this has been Barca’s worst game all season and every player played like shit.
Pereira kept ball watching and depending on offside, Rolfo, Leila, Alexia, Jenni, Mapi and Aitana’s passes were short and they kept loosing the ball. CGH was being bullied by Svava. I’m not sure what Torrejon was doing and Patri just wasn’t in it.
Their main problem was the passing. They seemed to forget that there was no “I” in team. Every single player tried to keep the ball instead of passing, then when they were swamped by RM played they decided to TRY and pass out, the pass was too short and so RM was able to pick it up easily. And this right here was why RM looked like the superior team.
I am not gonna take away from RM because they did press and they were able to pass amongst themselves but they were able to do this because Barca played at 40% of their potential, their passes were sloppy, their press was non existent for the first half and they all seemed as if they just woke up out of bed. RM looked superior today because of Barca’s unforced errors.
Now let’s talk about the “controversial” penalty, for all the RM fans crying foul. Oh please. I’ve seen softer penalties awarded in the UWCL. The Barca v Chelsea finals penalty was softer than that. And despite that they still pushed back and if Pernille was more clinical that day they would have gotten Atleast 2 goals. The fact is that Olga should not have had her knee so high and then push Caro on top of that. Girl you are on a yellow, you are up by one, playing at home and your opponent has been playing like crap. That foul was all on you.
Now the other excuse is that the penalty changed the game and RM lost hope. Oh come on, do better. Do you know what makes a great player phenomenal? The mentality and drive to win despite all odds. A call doesn’t go your way, what do you do, mope and cry foul? Or do you try until the very end to get one back? Barca played like shit the entire game admittedly they jumped from a 4 to a 6 in the second half but they never gave up fighting. And even thou they went to 2-1 players like Alexia never stopped pushing for more. They kept fighting until the final whistle and that is why she has now scored TWICE against RM in stoppage time.
Wow it's late for me for awnser all this but I don't agree with you in only 1 point. Hansen did good against svava and she actually got to make great center but there was none a single player that was able to hit the ball. Also in the first half they attacked through rolfo side and she had a sloppy game.
They are human I believe they are going to learn from this mess.
About the penalty we have seen this penalty being call before. It's reckless to have your leg so high inside the goal area so yeah I think its a tight call but absolutely nothing new.
Every player had an off game (even paños she seemed insecure to me the whole game even when she was making saves) .
I'm happy that even if they knew that their game was bad they kept pushing for a goal until the final.
Also Jenni did a great game overall in comparison other teammates. She defended, she tried to attack and tried a header a couple of times and that was more than other players. She also was RUNNING while attacking which is unusual on her. I'm proud of her game.

Yes that was the photo!! Idk how people live in nyc, it seems like the weather gets so unbearable at times. Ill definitely check out the asmr, ive been looking for new channels to watch anyways! Yeah it sucks that acnh needs a switch, but imo its the best animal crossing game Nintendo has put out so far. I also used to play guitar! Ive lost the calluses on my fingers though so now whenever I play it hurts haha. I totally get the movie thing. I have a habit of choosing video essays on YouTube over movies, even though a lot of the video essays I watch are movie length. Make it make sense brain???? I probably should’ve guessed you liked frozen 2 by your header! It was such a gorgeous movie. What are your favorite kinds of edits to make? - pixel ☕️
hellow again pixel! yup it's sad that animal crossing needs a switch but you know what? i'm gonna go watch gameplays on yt XD like, the ones that record everything right from the very start hehe i've been doing that for genshin impact lately :D
ugh tell me about the calluses! i feel like all string instruments require you to constantly touch them at least once every day if you wanna play them without crying from the burns on your fingertips lmao.
oooo video essays sound interesting! what are they? and yes i did love frozen 2! though i think the plot line didn't make much sense. i watched the disney+ documentary on how they made it and it was just absolute chaos and rushing lol. but i didn't mind that much honestly bc for me the key focus was on how visually STUNNING the animation & graphics were!! especially as an editor and gif-maker, the color palettes were inspiring af + great for enhancing color theory <3 what was your favorite scene/moment from the movie? mine was elsa battling the dark sea and the water horse!
ahhhh favorite edits to make that's hard bc there are so many!! but i'll give you some of my current ones:
i love making edits based around b&w, vintage minimalism and monochrome themes. obviously, with these concepts less is more and i'm something of a minimalist myself. also i love the challenge :) @ikraar is honestly a b&w queen and mist just constantly inspires me! 
handwriting edits! this is a rather recent obsession kslhakljskallf i just love the idea of overlaying your handwriting on a picture it’s just so charming??
collages but i’ve only made one so far for a friend’s birthday (it was my first time trying! i was proud with how it turned out) and for collages nat/miss marshmallow @ohh-goddamn has my absolute mad respect she just rules that category!! 
the final one is posters and redesigns of anything from a movie, tv show or album! this type is probably the one i do most cause it’s what comes the most naturally to me. i’ve been making edits for years, starting with good ol’ picsart and working my way up to photoshop (@magnusedom @cheddarthefluffyboi and @deepika-padukone are my gurus). i like that i can sit in front of a blank canvas on my laptop and just conceptualize the design as i go <3
final one is simple hehe. any edit that lets me use the film grain filter or overlays :’)
what about you? what are your favorite movies? are you a content creator on here as well?
