Hi.... If you don't mind, can I ask your top 5 (or top 3) favorite characters from Bungou Stray Dogs? And why you loved them? And your top 5 favorite moments from the series? Sorry if you've answered this before.....
No need to apologise, I’m happy to answer! :D 
Lets see, fave characters, it’s so hard to narrow it down to just five because I love most of the BSD characters
Surprise to no one, Chuuya. I love my scrunkly boy. For as little as he appears in the main story he steals every scene he’s in, his light novels have so much character to explore. His backstory is wild. There’s so much for me to sink my teeth into in terms of character and so little there’s a lot of room to theorise. He has a fun personality to attempt to write as well. I have a lot of Chuuya posts so I won’t rant too much about him here.
Kunikida was definitely my first favourite character. Strict but caring, follows the rules but they are his own rules, reluctant mentor figure, thrown into a high position at such a young age, really smart but such a dumbass. Dazai’s character in season 1 wouldn’t nearly be so enjoyable if he didn’t have Kunikida to reign him in. I love his dynamic with Atsushi, he doesn’t want to be a mentor, but he doesn’t want this kid to get hurt. So he tries to land somewhere in the middle. He tries to get Atsushi to arrive at the right conclusion himself, he wants him to grow on his own, but will be there for him when he needs it.
Yosano, BSD needs more Yosano content. Again, I loved her dynamic with Atsushi during the train heist. Her and Kaiji’s conflict of beliefs about the value of human life and death was so interesting. Her past with Mori was definitely interesting too, but I am much more interested in seeing more of the present day Yosano. I don’t want her to be forced out into the field, because that’s something she doesn’t want, but I would love to just know more about her role in the agency. Her day to day. More of her beliefs. More exploration of how her trauma affected her ability to heal people. Is she even a real qualified doctor?? Did she actually go to med school??? Because some part of me wouldn't be surprised she didn’t, given her history.
Akutagawa siblings. I’m putting them as one because a lot of what makes Akutagawa interesting to me is his relationship with Gin. I love main timeline Akutagawa and all his complexities but Beast!Aku is golden. I love the Beast movie so much that when I picture Akutagawa I picture the actor, not the cartoon man, haha. They are both little creatures to me, I wish their dynamic was more explored. I wish Gin was explored more in general, pretty sure we see them the least out of all of Black Lizard.
Dazai. Here’s the thing, originally, I wasn’t much of a Dazai fan. I didn’t not like him, but he wasn’t my favourite. BUT then I started reading the real Dazai Osamu’s works and I love his writing. Rewatching BSD and starting the manga, after I had read some of Dazai Osamu’s works, gave me a better appreciation for the BSD character. NLH, Setting Sun, Flowers of Buffoonery and Dazai Osamu’s fairytale retellings, all very much affect how I view Dazai and how I write his character. I have a very love/hate relationship with writing him though because I’m constantly questioning whether or not he would do X actions, but then I remember the characters in the books would, so I write it in anyways, haha.
Honourable mentions: Aya, Kenji, Kyouka, Atsushi, Bram, all of The Flags, Lucy (Okay I’m going to stop before I list them all)
Favourite moments:
It’s got to be Chuuya fighting a literal dragon, right? I’ve rewatched Dead Apple a lot, I never tire of Chuuya throwing a building down a dragon’s throat. And of course Chuuya screaming Dazai’s name in the midst of corruption. Not even in a shippy way, but in the context of Dazai should be dead, as far as anyone else knows he’s dead, but Chuuya believes in his ability to survive. He believes even when it’s supposed to be impossible, if he uses corruption, Dazai will be there to stop it. And if he’s wrong, he accepts dying alongside him. That’s about as ride or die as it gets and I love it.
Atsushi jumps to save Kyouka. He has no reason to, other than despite all he’s been through, he still believes people deserve to live, they deserve to be told that. Kyouka was willing to die to stop hurting people, to pay penance for an ability she had no control over and Atsushi was willing to die trying to save her. I don’t care what people say, Atsushi is a good main character, I don’t care that he cries a lot or that he needs saving and losses fights. I care about how much he cares. I care that he sees good in people like Kyouka and Dazai, he sees the good in Lucy. Moments like this make me love BSD.
Similar vein, Lucy frees Atsushi. Helping Atsushi is a lose/lose scenario in Lucy’s perspective. The guild is all she has, the only place that has ever given her some value. Atsushi is the man that robbed her of that value. But in this confrontation she learns Atsushi is a lot like her, that in this one conversation he has attempted to understand her pain better than anyone else in the guild and so she takes a chance on Atsushi. She chooses to help him and Yokohama despite knowing it will cost her everything she has. And she does it with a smile on her face like it’s nothing. Love Lucy so much.
Ranpo can’t ride public transport by himself. This one is a little silly, but you see I am a neurodivergent adult who also really struggles with public transport. Trains scare the heck out of me, so I don’t go on them alone. Ranpo is just like me for real and it gave me a silly little serotonin to see it.
Okay, I tried not doing two Chuuya scenes but Chuuya showing up to save the agency in a helicopter and throwing bullets at the Hunting Dogs is also one of my faves. Especially as he was sent there to save them and then Kunikida goes and jumps out the thing and blows himself up anyway, it’s just funny. BSD does a good job of balancing action and humour and serious moments very well. This is supposed to be an epic sacrifice for Kunikida, his friends all think he’s dead. But looking at it from Chuuya’s perspective is funny. People say “Oh, why didn’t Chuuya do anything” like Kunikida really gave him a chance to. Maybe he did have a plan and maybe he didn’t get a chance to do anything because Tall, Blond and Explody over there leapt out the door.

Big buff bossy gangster just bumping into Subtop M reader one day and suddenly becoming obsessed with them to the point where M reader has no choice but to submit to his advances cause if not well he's dead. Subtop M reader has to admit tho that he loves fucking him especially in risky places cause seeing him trying to keep his voice down satisfies Subtop M reader especially with his tiddies bouncing with each thrust

amab bossy gangster x amab m reader
pt 2 rambles :3 cw;; dubcon, exhibition, stalker - yandere tendences?
Tumblr media
love at first sight… for him at least. a towering muscly dude with visible scars here and there along his “handsome” face with layered platinum blond hair doing his rounds with a couple of lackeys… unintentionally not looking where he was goingㅡ
ㅡ“oh, whoopsie.. you alright, man?” cautious not to put your hands on the other person who accidentally stepped on your foot and took a slight tumble; swallowing thickly, comedically as the man raises to his full height without a word - towering over you with his pecs center to your eyes, some big platinum blond muscleheadㅡ“haha… y-ou … you alright?” you offer your hand, even if he was already standing and most certainly did not need your help -
“fine.” he waves you off, leaving wordlessly but not before giving you a nasty glower. uagh, jeez.. what's that guy's problem? not like you were looking to instigate or something but still… you obviously did not mean to trip him! didnt he see how sympathetic you were just then? some people…
unbeknownst to you, he was fuming. that was how your first official meeting went?! argh!! his companions, his lackeys noting his upset and commenting on the matter ; “what's the matter? you wanna go back n’ pummel that guy, boss?” 
“no, no…” the hulking mass of muscle shakes his head - thin layers of platinum blond hair, waving his hand dismissively while seeming to be in thought - stalling down the walkway and making a swift turn down a narrow alleyway, knuckleheads following close behind. “that's… my lover. my fated one to be, you idiots. how can you not see that?” 
ㅡhe’s delusional, his lackeys realize. but feed into it anyway. in the lair, a rundown two story house where he was answering questions and fiddling with several pictures taken of you just hours later. a quick question of “how can ya’ tell that's yer fated one to be??!” an excited pawn queried. the big boss man going off on an equally excited tangent - a happy explanation about how he doesn't even know. all he knows is that he took one look at your tripping sorry ass and immediately wanted to get down on his knees, uncaring if it was in the middle of a busy sidewalk..
or it could… be the something like, muscly bossy gangster runs into you a few times instead,,, neither of you forgetting one another because for you, it's a big ass intimidating guy who glares at you and nearly makes you piss your pants how can you not forgetㅡand for him - he's literally orchestrating his schedule around yours just to be bumping into you like this. tapping your phone, keeping you tracked through a device or having several of his companions follow you around…
and then, him. finally showing up to your fucking home on a friday night - 11 pm. forcing his way into your apartment and ignoring how terrified you looked and showing you all the pictures he took of you. like aren't you the cutest ? and you… staring at him, teary eyed and sniffling because you obviously cant fight back against this fucking behemoth who you accidentally tripped… this is your day of reckoning isn’t it…. dead if you do, dead if you don't, huh. well. eyeing his fat chest, looking over his stocky build.. this guy's in love with you that badly?! then.. he could never hurt you right…? haha… a spineless creature such as you submitting that easily, you can't help yourself and you cant blame yourself!!!
ㅡ"shh-sh..” he hisses softly, grunting as he fluidly jerks at your hardened prick over your jeans - your back pressed against a wall in a maze of alleyways. of course, its the go-to.. who are you to deny this bossy ass gangster when he wants to be fucked??? asking you so nicely… ( literally pulling you from the eyes of the public wordlessly. who was gonna say anything anyway??? they know of him and his status….) whimpering softly - music to his ears. wishing he could be recording this audio for his own needy purposes of jerking off to your shrine he made… plunging himself on your pre-cum and saliva lathered cock… it was mesmerizing. pulling up his shirt to reveal his abdomen - no complaint from the hulking bossy bitch as you fondle his chest. before he was switching positions and pressing his front into the wall and allowing you to hump into him at a lazy languid pace while groping at his meaty body underneath his tight-fitted shirt. he… has to remind you of who's the one in charge… “keep it down..” he reminds breathlessly, a grin spreading across his face as he pushes his hips back into you ㅡ deliberately clenching his gummy walls around yr meaty, aching dick - 
ㅡ“what's this?” 
“uhh… our conversation?” you squint, glancing between the hulking mass pining you and his hand holding his tiny phone - his hand was just … huge. displaying your messages, where he was the last one to send a message?
he inhales sharply at your obliviousness, huffing in obvious indignation - pushing you harder against the wall without intent. “you left me on seen.” he stresses the last word. did you?? he was nearly snarling like an animal with rabies. “why??” god, this guy is like an insecure girlfriend but 10 times worse. 
“... i got uh.. distractedㅡ” you squirm, avoiding eye contactㅡ
"distracted with what?” he intrudes, leaning inward - you could faintly smell a hint of mint and.. what is thatㅡcinnamon? what's this guy's problem, eating sweets and harrassing you?! and just a quick glance down would tell you everything you need to know. how awkward… do you even tell him or does he know that he's bulging? it throws you off… acting so moody but bricked up??? that's laughable and you can't help yourself. b-but you can't exactly laugh in good humor, hypnotized by the way his squishy pecs bounce up and down with his hole clamping on your cock ㅡ telling you in-between ragged breaths never to ignore him - yes, yes honey never in my life i will do such a thing, mhm..

I’m a e2l fan so I want anything you could give us about it like characters likes /dislikes ? Small snippet (sorry Im so excited for this fic I’m asking for alot :,(no pressure though <3)
love you hope you’re doing good
hiii! you're so sweet, ily2! i'm mostly good! a little stressed bc school but i'm keeping it pushing haha
and you're not asking for a lot!! i've actually been talking a lot about this au with a few of my moots lately so i've been itching to share about it so honestly go crazy with asking about it!!! since i haven't gotten as many asks about this au i guess i'll make this ask kind of long and just kind of dump some of the stuff from my notes into it? and i have a tiny snippet i can share too!
so i'll just go on a long ass tangent below lol
okay, so first thing about this au, the one thing i really want to emphasize (without spoiling) is the whole thing about this au is that their breakup reason is important, but also that nobody in particular is at fault. sometimes life just happens, and things happen, and sometimes you just need to take a step back and re-evaluate yourself, your goals, and what you really want! it's about coming back together and choosing that person in the end because you realize not being with them is worse than whatever drove y'all apart!
tbh a lot of this au is partially inspired by my own breakup & how the experience of me getting over it! i was in my early 20s for the first time being single after being in a relationship since i was a teenager and i was like woah wtf idk how to be single/without a partner. so that's a big focus of that! learning how to find yourself and realign your goals and all that!
but we can get into the characters now!
eren:
definitely is a bit more obvious about missing mikasa, but tries to act like he doesnt (he has her highlight still up lol, not doing a good job at it)
mostly just works a lot while they're not together
after they breakup, mikasa moves out of their apartment, so he's stuck seeing all their stuff all the time
the first time they see each other its messy, they get into a big fight lol, they aren't allowed to hang out together lol
but he realizes pretty fast that he regrets the breakup, but he sees that mikasa seems to be doing okay, so he wouldn't wanna intrude on that
he gets armin in the breakup basically (mostly bc he sees armin more, but armin still talks to mikasa, just not as much as he does to eren obvi)
he picks up some of mikasa's hobbies bc he misses her so much lol he's down horrendous
at the very least does miss mikasa at least as a friend
mikasa
after their breakup, because she's kind of trying to spite eren, she starts going out a lot to cope—her "hot girl era" essentially lol
she definitely starts prioritizing herself a lot more, and spends more time with her friends and figuring out what she wants outside of eren
but she definitely misses eren, she's just better at hiding it lol
she partially thinks he just doesn't want anything to do with her anymore (a lot of this is just them being fucking idiots lol), and she basically doesn't try to stalk him or see what he's up to bc she doesn't wanna know out of her own peace of mind
she has very bad flight anxiety so when they fly to italy, she lowkey kind of hopes that eren doesn't change his flight (he does bc he has to do something not even to be petty), and she has a very terrible flight experience and all she wishes is that eren were there
and here's a little snippet! this takes place the day after they break up!! sorry for rambling LOl but hope you enjoyed my little tangent! :)
“Damn, Mikasa,” Gabi called out from behind her, only causing Mikasa to turn around. “We didn’t know you went out on weeknights.” 
Gabi, one of the college freshmen who worked at the gallery, had a tendency to say whatever was on her mind, never bothering to filter herself. Even if Mikasa had grown rather close to her since she started working at the gallery in August, sometimes she wished Gabi would just shut up.
Mikasa scoffed, confused as to what even prompted her to say that. “What are you talking about, Gabi? And don’t cuss so loud, especially where guests can hear you.”
“Your eyes, they’re all red. Not to mention how bad your bags are,” she said, pointing to her eyes. “Seems like someone was a victim of Sunday Funday.”
Mikasa lifted a finger to touch her eye—still puffy, but from tears, rather than drinking.
“Gabi, you’re not supposed to say stuff like that—it’s rude,” Falco chimed in.
“Hey, it’s not my fault she can’t handle her alcohol,” she shrugged, turning back toward Mikasa. “It’s okay, Mikasa, the prettiest girls are always the biggest lightweights. But anyway, are you feeling okay? Does our favorite party girl need some Tylenol? A Liquid IV, maybe? Even a Gatorade?”
Was she supposed to answer honestly? Tell them that she had spent the entirety of her night crying because she and her boyfriend had broken up. That she was sure that the cops almost got called by their neighbors from how loud they were yelling at one another? That Sasha couldn’t even understand her when she called, telling her she needed somewhere to stay because she stormed out of their apartment, not even giving Eren the chance to finish his sentence, somewhere after one of them had uttered the words, “We shouldn’t be together anymore?”
She had been doing so well, pushing the thoughts to the back of her head, trying to get through the entirety of her shift without thinking about everything—about him. She only had an hour left in her shift, but all of her efforts had been to no avail.
It was as if the wind had been knocked out of her, she suddenly lost the ability to breathe, and she felt all the blood drain from her face.
We aren’t together. We aren’t together. We aren’t together. The words playing in her mind on loop.
“Hey, Mikasa. Are you okay?” Falco asked, his eyes flooding with concern as he looked over Mikasa’s current state.
“I think I’m gonna be sick,” she said quickly, before running off to the bathroom.
But maybe just this once, Mikasa was lucky for Gabi’s inability to shut her mouth—at least being hungover was a good enough cover for sobbing her eyes out in the bathroom.

Can I just say how much I adore your Grimm design? The more muscular torso in contrast to his slim figure in the game is incredibly intimidating on its own, but the added horror that is his cape makes him terrifying. I particularly love how you draw his mouth. The inclusion of his fangs and the way his face is structured makes him snakelike, especially with his scaly torso texture. He is certainly something bugs would see in their nightmares. Bravo.
The fact that he’s dating a puppy-eyed, round-bellied, therapy-needing shrimp beast makes him even better.
aaah thank you! it means so much to hear this!! i'm personally very happy with his design so i'm glad to see that people like it!
i will admit that the shapes i chose for him were purely self-indulgent. my brain goes crazy for top heavy characters, it's such an aesthetically pleasing silhouette design for me and i think it fits him very nicely, even if it kind of flips his body shape upside down compared to the canon (he's a lot more bottom heavy there). also, i think it's quite obvious by now that i miiiiiight have a lil crush on him haha. not in the usual sense (aroace here after all) but man his design is just so attractive on an aesthetic level to me, i'm obsessed with him. and judging by some of the comments i get under my art of him, it seems to be contagious. so it's a double win in my eyes hahahah
the cloak was a late addition, i struggled with it for a while. if you look at the older art i made of him, there was nothing really unusual about it. it went from a doctor strange like cape (the oldest design, i don't really like it now but i think it looked kinda cool at the time) to something closer to his in game sprites. the biggest change at that point was the addition of the fluffy collar, mainly because i thought it fit him but also because it was less frustrating to draw than those damn collar noodles/petals. i didn't get the doc ock idea until very recently, but it started as something i had in mind for nightmare king as opposed to just grimm. then i decided that screw it, he's a god even in his physical form. he can have a wacky tentacle cloak as a treat. rule of cool and all that. very happy that i went with that in the end, it really gives him that oomph. as a bonus, the way it behaves (splitting, twirling around, forming into sharp spikes) was inspired by the recent spider-man 2 gameplay reveal, and by extension venom in general
the head was also a somewhat recent change, i did stick to a more canon-like round headshape for a while, but i found it to look too pug-like, especially in ship art with fpk. so i returned to my grimm design roots and gave him a longer snout like on the very first design (long snout = more kisses >:) ). very happy with how snake like it ended up looking. i loved the idea of him having vampire like fangs (LOVE vampires. they're like, the coolest. and the sexiest) so the snake appearance was a coincidence, but i am so glad it happened. and like you said, it makes him look even more like a creature from nightmares
and yes, love me a good contrast in a ship. a big beefy vampire that oozes confidence and charisma, and a sad little lizard shaped like a sack of potatoes? yeah they're perfect for each other in my eyes. big "extrovert adopts an introvert" energy there, plus visually they just look really cool together i think. the height difference and the contrast in appearances really add a lot to how dynamic they are as a ship imo
but yeah thank you so much for this again! i went on a bit of a tangent there but it's because it makes me so incredibly happy when people say they enjoy my designs. i try my best to make the au versions of the character "my own" if that makes sense, so it really means a lot to hear positive feedback!

HI! sorry for the silly question, but since you're always so nice in answering questions I thought of you… But do the skaters wear pantyhose during the competitions?! in some cases I think it's noticeable, but for example I don't think Tessa ever wore them 🤷🏻‍♀️
Haha (no it’s not a silly question I like convos about all these little insider/trade secrets 😄). yes they do- just about all of them do (I can’t think of an instance I’ve seen when someone hasn’t). And yes Tessa always did- she just happened to wear ones that were very well matched to her skin colour (so very pale)- which I love btw because it’s super distracting when they wear stockings that don’t match their actual skin tone. That makes it hard to tell that she is.
It’s the same with some of her dresses that have invisible mesh, eg mahler. For the longest time I thought she just had it Hollywood taped down, but in some pictures only- incredibly hard to see on video, there’s a piece of verryyy faint mesh. Same thing with her Sochi dresses with that kind of halter style.
Here you can faintly see the difference in tones in a straight like where the straps meet the actual dress, and even harder to see on the bottom two pics where her neck line starts:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here in MR, (I’ve circled it because it’s so hard to see) the top of her stockings just poking out.
Tumblr media
You can also see in this picture how well her stockings (sorry that what I call pantyhose) is matched to her actual skin tone.
She also (for the majority of her career) would sew herself into her dresses, namely her leotard (part of her dress) to her stockings which is maybe the easiest way to tell that she’s wearing them:
Tumblr media
(I swear i’ve seen pictures where you can see it clearer but this will do) (also I’m not gonna circle it because I don’t want any sickos to come along and get any ideas) but if you look at the line of her leotard you can see it notches out at one point- that’s where it’s sewed down. This is to prevent it riding up and causing a.. wegie 🫣🤭, but that can be a big distraction let alone uncomfortable and with the type of partnering they do, especially the lycra against synthetic pantyhose material can slip. She wouldn’t do this for shows where she has to change costumes lots of times but for competition where she’s in them for a bit longer, as far as I’ve seen she almost always did this.
They wear pantyhose mostly for hygiene purposes but also the cold of the rink. When you fall on ice hard and if your skin isn’t protected (even lightly) for eg on your knee it can cause quite ugly and painful scrapes/scars/lacerations. As well for the partnered disciplines where the girls are often upside down, and considering this is a sport that is shown on TV, it just gives a little extra.. safe guard/protection (I can’t think of a better word to use) for the women. I don’t believe it’s mandatory for them to wear pantyhose but the majority, if not all of them do. We might see this start to change more now with pants/unitards allowed in the free dance (it used to only be for certain RD/SD/OD styles, eg hip hop/blues, where the women could wear pants but it’s now being allowed in the FD no matter the style (I’m not sure about other RD rhythms).
Sorry that went off on a bit of a tangent but hopefully that answered your question. 😄

Something You Know About Me
TW: none, really
Notes: a silly little short story for a project i'm working on.
Sypnosis: You hop into a call, just for a few seconds, so you can get to know each other.
——————
“What’s your favourite color?” “Oh, we’re doing 21 questions now?”
Ezra laughed a bit, amused by the idea. “If I say yes, will you answer?” “I mean, ask away, I have no problem with it. As long as you let me ask questions about you too.
“An answer for an answer?”
“Mhmm. You know, its hard to not be curious about you.”
“Really?” You gave a stupid smile. It hit him in a way that he didn’t expect.
“Yeah, isn’t it natural to be curious about a hot guy?”
Ezra felt his face heat up. This isn’t good. If he didn’t catch himself, he might start getting attached to you. Well, that didn’t sound quite as bad as he made it seem, but he still knew that he couldn’t afford to trust it. Still, coming from you, it almost felt like you were serious…
“Oh- Ah. Uh…” His hand reached up to cover his face. He tried to avert his eyes, hoping you wouldn’t notice. His brow creased subconsciously.
You laughed, then. It had hit him like a punch to the gut.
“W-Well… Well, all I know is that I want to get to know you. I’m just as curious about you as you are of me, I assume.”
“Alright then.” He watched as you stretched, presumably preparing yourself for whatever he wanted to ask you.
“Let’s start with something simple. I did ask you for your favourite color earlier, didn’t I?”
You nodded. “Right. Well… Hmm… I don’t think I’ve ever thought about it before. I’d say blue, but that’s kind of boring, don’t you think?” “I don’t think so. Blue’s a good color.” “And an easy color. Anyone could pick blue. How about… red? Like your hair?”
He stopped and stared, fidgeting with his hair.
“My… hair?” “Yeah! Red’s a pretty color on you. Or… yellow? Like your eyes?”
“Are you just… picking colors that you see in front of you?”
A wider smile grew on your face, and you averted your eyes with a mischievous grin. You leaned your head on your hand as he furrowed his brow. “...Oops. You noticed? Haha… I wasn’t lying when I said I never thought about it before. Can’t you ask me a different question?”
Ezra sighed with a slight hint of drama to his tone, giving in and moving on.
“Alright, alright. How about… hm… What to ask…”
“How about I ask you a question?” 
Ezra blinked in surprise before straightening up.
“...Alright. Go ahead.”
“Awesome.”
Ezra watched in confusion as you reached into your drawer, pulling out a familiar looking poster. It was from a rather short-lived tv show, one that Ezra knew well.
“...Oh my god.”
“Tadaa!! I used to watch this show… like, religiously. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you at first.”
“That poster- I- How- It only had two seasons!”
Ezra laughed in disbelief at the poster as you presented it proudly to the camera.
“I found this online! Probably a fanmade one too, cause I don’t think you appeared until halfway through the second season. But look! There you are. See?”
You pointed at a figure at the bottom, his red hair distinct amongst the darker colors he was backed up against. “Yeah. That’s- I mean- Wow.” You laughed, and Ezra could feel himself flush a little.
“Anyways. I guess my question is… What was it like filming the show? Is that a weird question to ask?”
“No, no, you’re good. I don’t really mind questions like that. I’m sort of used to those types of questions from interviews and stuff.”
“Oh really~? Guess that’s to be expected from Mister Big-Shot over here.”
You flashed a toothy grin, causing him to snicker a bit.
“Pfft. Now… hmm…”
He started with the positives, like how his fellow actors were pretty nice and forgiving to a rookie like him. He also listed a bit of the negatives, like how hot it would get sometimes on set or when the director was having a particularly rough day. Along the way, you chimed in with your own opinions on certain topics. Ezra found it charming when you went off on tangents during your conversation, and although you weren’t really paying attention when you spoke, he gave you a look of affection that really could only mean one thing. The truth was, he enjoyed hearing you talk. It showed a side to you that Ezra wouldn’t have known about otherwise, and that small fact pleased him. 
“And personally, I think it’s kind of stupid. I mean, I’m sure they’ve got talented writers, but…” “...But you think they could’ve written Cynthia better?” “No, it’s not that, it’s just… they could have made her death make more sense!”
You gestured violently with your hands, causing Ezra to laugh at your passionate reaction. He shrugged, leaning his head on his hand.
“Actually, I don’t think it was up to the writers in the first place. The actress who played Cynthia didn’t want to be a part of the show anymore, and she was leaving rather abruptly, so the writers had to figure out how to…”
He trailed off, vying for the right words to explain it. “Explain the sudden exit?” “...Well, as best as they could, anyways. That’s also why my audition was so last minute.” “Wow…” You nodded along, fascinated by the extra information you received. “Guess you really lucked out there, huh? I think you were a really good actor, for the short amount of time you were on the show.”
“I like to think its one of the better experiences from when I was first starting out.”
“I think so, too.”
Ezra glanced at the corner of his screen, blinking in surprise at what he saw. “Oh. It’s already getting pretty late.” “Huh? Really?” You glanced at the corner of your screen. “Oh, wow, you’re right. I didn’t even notice. Oh my god, I can’t believe you were supposed to ask me questions and I spent the whole conversation talking about Lottery… I am so sorry.” Ezra smiled, chuckling to himself.
“Don’t worry about it. In a weird way, I actually got to know more about you just by listening to you talk. For example, I now know you get very intense when you talk about the things you like.”
You snorted, clearly finding his idea of ‘knowing more about you’ to be amusing. You rolled your eyes, yawning a bit.
“I still feel bad,” You mutter, drowsily. “We can still get back to that first question you asked, at least before I go to bed.” Ezra perked up. “Really? Well then, I’m curious. What’s your favourite color?” You pretended to think about it for a bit, then smiled. “Red. Definitely. And it’s not because I’m naming things I see. Red’s the kind of color I find myself drawn towards the most.” Ezra tilted his head. He knew you said red as a joke before, but saying it now as your serious answer did cause some questions to be raised. “You find yourself… drawn to the color red?” “Yeah! That show has an overall red-ish color scheme, not to mention red flowers are always my first pick… And…” You glanced at him, your smile reaching your eyes. “Your bright red hair definitely drew me towards you.” “Ah-!”
You laughed, your grin never fading. He furrowed his brows and averted his eyes in embarrassment, pressing his lips into a firm line. 
“God, it’s way too late for this… Look, I’ll, um, talk to you tomorrow?” He glanced at his screen anticipating your answer. You saluted in some sort of strange goodbye greeting. “Of course. Good night!”
When the call ended, he felt his face heat up even more. At the end of the day, he was grateful to get to know you better, even if it meant enduring the random out of place compliments and occasional bold comments.
You were a strange one, weren’t you?

has robert plant ever talked about his interest in mythology and history of britain, wales etc? a lot of it is mentioned in their songs i know ,
Hi, friend! Oh, he's talked about it. Maybe a better question would be has he ever not talked about it haha. I think Robert is intertwined with history and mythology. It's more a lifestyle than a talking point maybe. I know this isn't your question, but humor me for a sec on my tangent. It's strange to ponder for us mere mortals, but Robert has lived an entire life as a sort of mythological presence. He was very famous from age 20 on. And I think he was a bit of a legend in his own mind during his teens. 😁 I say that with love, not sarcasm or malice. For lots of people, he's a living legend. Which makes his ability to stay grounded all the more admirable. But! Back to the question. He often peppers his interviews with references, and he's clearly still enamored with the stuff that hooked him as a young boy. Here's an example. A while back, @inbedwithrobert called to my attention his, ah, we'll say interest in Owain Glyndwr, who was a Welsh lord? that fought against the English. Look it up - very cool reading. He's made allusions to it during shows over the years. I find his lens, if you will, very fascinating. For all the talk of sunshine and rainbows, there's quite a bit more to his personality. He lives in the present and dreams of the future, but they’re comfortable bedfellows with the past, because he lives there, too. Does that make any sense? Not the past meaning the glories of say, LZ, but in the big picture past. History, tales, myths, legends, and the like. Maybe that's why he's able to brush off the intense fishbowl of celebrity that LZ created, because his idea of epochal springs from the evolution (or in some cases devolution) of humanity itself. Damn. Okay. This definitely went off the rails. Sorry for the book. And I hope this meandering response was somewhat intelligible. I guess the short answer is yes. 😊
Thank you for the question! I love talking about this stuff! 💕💕

Slytherins & Prejudice (Tangent/Rant)
I’m gonna be honest here. I think Slytherins tend to be misunderstood. Well technically we see the more ‘darker’ side in the books, and that’s partly because Harry ended up as a Gryffindor instead, so we never really got to fully see what it was like.
Maybe I’ve just been reading too much fanfiction, but I think we’ve all been there once or twice. I recall when first reading the books that I didn’t really like Slytherin. Of course, this was due to Draco Malfoy’s entrance, and the prejudice against the actual house.
Funny thing, I actually took the house quiz back then on the website and got Slytherin. I couldn’t believe it, how could I be a part of the evil house? Wouldn’t I be better in Ravenclaw? The second time I took it, I became a Ravenclaw, but that isn’t the point. It isn’t, because the cast only get sorted once, and that meant that technically only my first one counted. Slytherin.
I’d imagine you probably know it by now as we’ve all grown. Slytherins are ambitious people, with big dreams and the desire to pursue it. Not necessarily a bad thing. For me, my interests lie in a thirst of knowledge, and trying to be the best. Well that’s kind of weak, but what do you expect of a kid?
But the point is, technically, all houses have bad counterparts to them. Bravery can just as easily be dumb recklessness. Loyalty can just as easily be blind devotion. Ambition can lead to greed. Intelligence can lead to arrogance.
Honestly this is the kind of thing you learn when you grow up. That you realize that they’re just kids, and probably repeating what their parents told them (god knows I have), and wouldn’t know right from wrong. It doesn’t help either that they kind of become seen as ‘antagonists’ (is it wrong that I can see Ron being angry at Harry for either being sorted or almost sorted into Slytherin? If I recall correctly, he was also angry at Harry for ‘joining’ the TriWizard Tournament thing despite how Harry kept trying to tell him that he didn’t even want to. You see my point?).
Now, I can’t actually remember that time they were polyjuiced and went into the Slytherin dormitory, but I’m gonna be honest here. Fanfiction. I can’t even say that some of them don’t bring up good points about Slytherins being prejudiced against for their parents actions, or just because they’re in that house that people jump to conclusions and hate them regardless of what they try to do. Literally there are so many moments in the actual book series of the students hating on Harry and jumping to conclusions (wasn’t there the Parselmouth thing where they accused him of setting the snake onto this one guy- not to mention I’m pretty sure they thought he might’ve been the heir of Slytherin, even if he wasn’t in the actual house itself). I think that speaks enough of how the students think of him, and it’d likely only be worse for Slytherins.
Not that some of it isn’t deserved, but okay, look at Andromeda Tonks. She was a Slytherin, and technically was disowned due to marrying a muggle-born. And maybe that doesn’t exactly prove my point, but hey, Merlin’s apparently a Slytherin too. There can be good ones, the house doesn’t just provide Death Eaters and whatnot!
My point is.. Slytherins aren’t all that bad and I kinda think they deserved better, but what can you do when a Dark Lord who comes from Slytherin spouts blood-purist shit and was so infamous that everyone knew who he was, and seemed to mainly only attract other Slytherins to serve him??
Anyway, I’m kind of biased, I have a love for Slytherin Harry, blah blah blah. Also fuck J.K. Rowling (because someone will probably read this and think I support her just because I like her books, haha she’s never gotten my money, I read from school libraries.), we don’t support her in this household, I just like reading the fanfiction.

I’ve been high many a time— if you have a little weed it’s like “oh everything’s kind of funnier and food tastes better” but like the highest I’ve ever been I felt like I was going to phase through the wall because my back didn’t exist. Anyways—
Clef finally finds the notes for this presentation, a big thick stack in Gears’ godawful handwriting. He starts to panic a little bit, and Iceberg had to calm him down again. He’s not having fun being the voice of reason, but at least Gears seems to be appreciating his company. A lot. He will not let go of his sleeve and is constantly pulling him closer, keeping him on a bit of a leash. He lets him pull him around though, because Gears is a wreck. He keeps on running his hand over the couch again and again, and going on weird little tangents about random shit.
“Hey, what does this say?” Clef asks, lifting a note. Iceberg steps closer, only for Gears to tug on his sleeve and whine.
“Can you let go of me? For one second?” Iceberg asks, forcing himself to sound gentle. Gears’ face shifts into what might’ve been a shit eating grin. It looks more like a grimace.
“No, you… you’re cold. It’s… I’m not floating away…”
Iceberg glares at Clef.
“C’mere.”
Clef rolled all three of his eyes.
“You can leave him for a second.”
“No, because I don’t want him to ‘float away’ and get freaked out!”
“Have you even smoked weed before?”
“I’ve done acid, Alto, step off. Get your ass over here.”
“When did that happen?!?”
“I was a wild kid, not important, come ON.”
Gears has shifted to grabbing Iceberg’s wrist at this point, swinging his hand back and forth, back and forth, as Iceberg deciphered the note.
“How long will this last?” Iceberg asks. Clef gives an awkward smile.
“With how skinny he is and the fact this is his first time? A day, maybe more?”
Gears bit Iceberg’s hand. He didn’t even react.
“Alto. I’m going to crucify you.”
“Hey, wouldn’t be the first time.”
-Brainworm Anon
the day site 19 went crazy:
Clef has to be EXTRA careful with his shit now, anything he gives to Gears is first tasted by Iceberg and then given to Gears, Clef is on thin fucking ice *haha funny* because Julian IS going to burn him alive the moment he is not looking

Another letter was sent to Blindspot! It seems that the sender received his letter, judging by how neat it looks. Opening it reads...
“ Hello again, Blindspot. I received your message, and it's a relief that you don't mind being pen-pals with me. I would've thought you'd be scared due to the bullies, haha.
That aside, how are you today? Are the bullies still harassing you, perhaps? I wish I can help you deal with them, but considering the fact that we're multiple ways apart... It's difficult to achieve that goal so easily. I do hope they hadn't tried framing you for anything, judging by their relentless behavior.
I'm curious, actually— are you a fan of stories? I have a couple I can write about, some more longer than others, but they're quite fascinating. People watching really yields some intriguing results, when you're not being spotted or disturbed, that is... And even the most mundane events can be somewhat of a spectacle to those who haven't heard much of it.
... ah, I'm rambling, aren't I? Haha, I must've went on a bit of a tangent, but that's besides the point. I'd like to know if you're interested in some— it would be very nice to write a few I saw in my own time when I have some to spare. Maybe you'll like a few residents here! They're quite kind to new people, and especially to troubled folk.
Just... Be sure to not get on the wrong side of the crowd. Even I'm not sure how to get close to them.
Anyway, I must get back to writing. I have a few requests myself, but if I am free, I shall write you a tale or two. Hopefully it'll keep you from wallowing in despair and thinking negative thoughts. Have a great day, Blindspot.
— 🌸🍒 ”
Inside the letter was another gift for him— this time a bookmark! Behind it were the words written:
‘ Everything will be okay. ’
He smiled softly at the words on the back of the bookmark while he was writing a letter back to you
"Hello again! Thank you for always taking some time to check up on me, I quite appreciate it. I've been doing well besides the usual bullies, how have you been? As for your questions. Normally I would be scared of being pen pals, but you seem like a good person from the letters you've sent. I'm also a big fan of stories, they often give me comfort in times where everything else won't... I'd really like to read some of yours, they sound rather interesting!
Also, I really like the gifts you're always sending me, so I want to send you something in return. I just hope it doesn't get crinkled in the envelope on the way there...
-- Aesop Carl"
When you opened up the envelope, inside was a hand drawn picture of a yellow rose. It looked quite well done for someone his age

7+10 for the end of year questions <3 (I always need to know how music interacts with people's writing, it's a thing for meeee)
7 got answered in a previous ask just now, but thanks! <3
10. which character(s) turned out differently from what you had planned? how so?
Oh jeez. Definitely Jayreth, this background-side-character Knight's Apprentice in Heralds of Rhimn. He got maybe one or two scenes in Winter Herald, and I wasn't sure where I was going to take him in Ember Warrior, but it wasn't here!
By "here" I mean
(SPOILERS)
shown to be conflict-averse and potentially able to question the regime he's been indoctrinating into supporting his whole life, shown to have some relationships beyond what little Atevia is able to see, but then sent off into the war. Ostensibly, Atevia has made sure that he got shuttled into a quiet conflict-free zone that will keep him safe.
It does not keep him safe.
Like. Hkghdkhgf. I have been wanting to talk about this for a few weeks, so I'm just gonna drop a big chunk of text here;
Water splashed. Through the leaves, Crislie spied a young man in armor washed his face in the river, his trembling movements producing that irritating armor clink.
“—they send me here all by myself, not even with Tesie, how did they expect me to—?”
Rage seared in Crislie’s blood as she understood what she was hearing. Not a conversation, but the ramblings of a lone deserter, one who had left Gadlin undefended as soon as his clay feet could carry him away. And even though she was one of the invaders — how dare him! How dare he abandon them!
She let out a soft warning growl as she crept out of the underbrush, forcing him to face what he’d fled. Daughi and Lind growled with her.
The knight’s eyes widened as he turned around. His hand went to his spear, but not nearly as fast as she went for his throat, the soft and unprotected gap just between his chin and the collar of his chestplate. It was instinct now. When she came back to herself again, the knight laid face-down in the river. Crimson bled downstream. Tadpoles and minnow shoals parted around the bloody current, hovering in a state of curiosity they would soon forget.
Crislie’s anger drifted with them.
She huffed and shook water off of her muzzle. “Do you think I knew him?” she croaked past her bared teeth.
Gildhe kneeled beside the body, rifling through his belt pouches. “Doubt it,” they whispered. “This guy’s got House Havinia’s crest on his stuff. He’s gotta be from Talimour.” “Still. It could’ve been somebody I knew.”
The irony here is that Crislie does not know this one-off goon, but we as the audience will recognize the last name Havinia and the "Tesie" he's talking about (Photesie, another apprentice who wants to marry him) and realize that Crislie has killed a sympathetic named character.
Another irony; this is Crislie's hometown that she's being made to invade, but that's a tangent for another time.
So yeah! Jayreth! Haha!

POSSESSIVE ꒰ADAM 𝘅 male! 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳꒱
𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮 ;; Romantic. You're Adam's third lover, but you're not his wife, you're his husband. And you are definitely annoyed at Adam's snide remarks about you leaving him. Epilogue: COMFORT 𝘼/𝙉 ;; Sorry not so sorry, Adam is too fine and I'm going crazy for him, RABID actually. Def a lil cringe, but possessiveness + Adam was too good to pass up.
Tumblr media
Maybe it was the way Adam suddenly gave you attitude, but you were pissed. Your infamous lover, was going on a tangent about Lucifer after his daughter had just met with Heaven. He went on and on about Lucifer and how anyone associated with him, his daughter along with Eve and Lilith, were "shit-fucks". But with his complaining about Lucifer, came the topics of his two stolen wives. Now, you weren't jealous per say, you understood Adam's attitude towards his past wives. But what you were mad about, was when Adam decided to run his mouth about you. "Can you believe it!? Eve, Lilith! I wouldn't be surprised if it was you, at this point. I swear when I catch that son of a— " You snapped. You grabbed the collar of his robe and pulled him close to you, face to helmet. Adam choked up on his words as he stared at you through his helmet, breathing heavily as his tangent was cut short. He saw how pissed you were, even when your face remained neutral, your eyes were glaring at him. He felt as though you were staring right through him. "Haha, sorry babe, did the truth hurt?" Adam forced out a snide remark while very apparently nervous. Your grip only tightened, and you uttered his name in a whisper. Your voice was low and you clearly weren't fucking around. First man or not, you don't take shit.
And Adam heard you loud and clear, he knew you were patient and he rarely ever saw you mad, but you were furious at him. Him of all things. "Sir, the Seraph—" Lute, one of Adam's closest exorcists, walked into the room. She was used to the man and often just stepped in, knocking only on occasions when she felt like it. Lute, knowing Adam, always expected him to be doing something vile or crude in his living quarters, but this was a different situation. Adam looked to be in a fight with you. She paused in her steps, taking in the unexpected sight. Your back was to her and she could clearly see Adam being in your grasp (literally). "Lute, get out." You didn't turn around, still staring intently at Adam, who took an unsteady breath. Adam prayed Lute had an emergency that would get him out of this situation. "There's a issue that needs to be—" "Lute, I said get out." You left her no room to argue. "I.. Yes sir. I'll notify the Head Seraphim." Lute never heard you ever ask her for something. You were humble and you never intercepted her relationship with Adam. So when you, for the first time ever, ordered her to get the fuck out, she did. It was out of character for Lute to just back down, but here was something she couldn't shake.
Lute is loyal to Adam, but she has a big sinking feeling he initiated whatever mood you're in now. "Shut the door on your way, please." The door was quickly shut. "Fuck [name], what if that was important?" He grabbed your wrist, trying to pull you off, but you didn't budge.
"We both know you wouldn't give a fuck if it was." Whilst Adam was somewhat cooperative with his boss, Sera, he was also very out of line. So much so that Sera has to often just appear and discipline him and Lute. And the man didn't care about anything that wasn't the extermination, one of his limited entertainments. "Adam, I want you to listen to me." He didn't respond. "Don't you ever spout anything like that again. Do you understand me? I am not a temporary lover, let alone a trophy to be displayed for your past mistakes. I agreed to marry you with every intent to stay with you, so I expect the same from you." Adam didn't say anything for a short moment and you both just stared at each other. "Okay."

Coming Attractions!
First Monday of the month (and year!) so here we go!
I'll tag an Open Question Night onto this, too--anything I've posted about here or on AO3 is fair game! I do take prompts but am not necessarily quick to fill them lol.
A little different than the others, since it's January and that means Resolutions of a sort, lol. But first, a quick regular post:
BSG Fic:
Didn't write or post any, but I did podfic for a few Galactica Big Bang/Mini Bang fics, and that was a lot of fun! I had a great time running the event, and am looking forward to doing it again next year (and maybe writing for it as well lol).
If I do write, the two ideas that are foremost in my brain right now (that would work for the event; as opposed to crossovers and/or projects that are Way beyond the scope of an event like this) are:
The Blood of Angry Men Zarek character study in the form of him looking back on his life as he faces his execution after the mutiny. Partly about the question of where does he land on the spectrum of actually believing his rhetoric vs. using it/the way people believe in him to achieve power; partly about this really great quote of his from Kobol along the lines of "it's a lot harder to get blood on your hands than to wash it off later"; partly about his relationships with his inner circle/followers (there would be some stuff about before he went to prison; about Gaeta; about the friend of his who died on Kobol whose name escapes me).
Percussive Maintenance Joke title that would Not remain lol. But yeah this is basically...so, that bit in Downloaded, where Sam is trapped in the exploded parking garage with Boomer, Caprica, and Three insert tangent about 'are there one, two, or three significant Threes it is Unclear' and he gets knocked out like three times? What if. What if all those concussions. What if they unlocked his memories. Probably building up to where he is before he has to be hybridized if not there initially but. What If. (The problem with this one is it miiiiiight also be out of scope, also there's the moment he wakes up and then going back to the school and having a Chat with Philosopher!Cavil and then...not sure where to go from there.)
I also really genuinely do want to get TOB off the ground this year (I know I keep saying that but). And maybe one of the crossover ideas I have floating around in my head, but We'll See. Hopefully I'll have Something out this month (but I'm also waffling a little on How I want to start it--I think it probably makes the most sense to just go in show order and bounce back and forth between the Pegasus and Galactica plotlines once I get all the miniseries setup out of the way there is so much setup omg but every so often I ask myself 'but do I really want to do that? XD)
Also, since I Obviously fell way behind and didn't finish the Year of the OTP project, I'll pick that up and do the rest this year XD
Star Wars fic:
Going back and forth about participating in SWBB this year. I need to actually get on that because deadline for signups is on the 10th, lol. If I do participate it would be the one I planned to do last year (Anakin never joined the Order and meets Ahsoka halfway through the Clone Wars) but never got off the ground.
Note about OTP fills applies here as well, lol.
Also hoping to finally dive back into Precipice this year, so fingers crossed lol.
Other Fandoms (mostly Les Mis, LBR):
I do plan on doing Pod_Together again later in the year because I generally have fun doing it! Will probably adjust my fandoms list though because I keep getting matched on secondary/tertiary fandoms and while stretching myself to write for them is fun, I'd like to do something a little less Stretchy this year if possible, haha.
And I will be updating P&J, I promise XD I know where it's going, and I know what Ari is going to learn, though the specific order/circumstances in which the information comes out I'm still sorting out exactly when and how. (I think there are going to be some Previously Unpublished Letters when Ari gets to the Marseille exhibit about Thierry that give a Name to J, but I'm not sure if Ari's going to go there first or go to Dover or Paris first. And then Calais which is Relevant and Important). Goal is to get At Least one more chapter out this month.
Provenance will come when I finish that--it fills in the gaps Ari can't because Certain People decided to Burn All Their Correspondence, lol.
And then I'm also working on Acheron which is a Groundhog Day AU that I'm excited for. May or may not be other things coming in this fandom, we'll see XD
I do also want to get back to Incinctus and/or other Castlevania ideas I had. May be rewatching that series and/or finally watching Nocturne to jumpstart my brain? So maybe that'll happen this month but it's definitely a lower priority than the other things.
Original Fic:
I think I had a fairly good year where this is concerned? Year of the OTP plus a series of anniversary challenges on Rainbowfic got me to put out a fair amount! Hopefully next year will also be good (I do still have to finish the Year of the OTP for the three ships I was doing here as well, lol.)
...yep, that pretty much sums it up!
So, on to Resolutions! So to speak.
2023 goals:
Post at least arc 8 (and ideally also part 9) in Precipice!Verse as well as at least half of the Preludes stories. ....nope. XD
Write at least 10k of origfic content. Nearly doubled my goal with about 18.7k words!
Complete SWBB and participate in at least one other challenge/exchange Half-completed--I ended up dropping out as a writer from SWBB, but I did Pod_Together and also Ran GBB so XD
Continue posting Incinctus and start posting The Other Battlestar and at least one other non-challenge fic project. Well, I didn't do Incinctus or TOB, but I did do other non-challenge fic projects? Lol XD
Write at least one holiday fic (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween, New Year’s, Etc.) and post on the appropriate day I actually did do this!
Bonus Goal: Update the origfic archives already. Bonus Goal #2: I have at least one half-finished AU outline I should actually finish and post that. And maybe update the Ventress and Luke time-travel one Yeaaaah neither of these got done, either XD
2024 Goals:
[basically repeating myself, NGL XD]
Get back into Precipice; post at least three chapters of Protectors and at least one Preludes one-shot.
Write at least 10k of origfic content.
Participate in at least two challenges/exchanges.
Start posting The Other Battlestar; complete P&J; and start or post at least one other non-challenge fic project.
Complete the Year of the OTP fills.
Bonus Goal: Write at least one holiday fic (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, New Year's, etc.) and post on the appropriate day Bonus Goal #2: Update origfic archives Bonus Goal #3: Post at least one AU Outline.

their favorite types of kisses
people in this - dream, georgenotfound, sapnap, wilbur, punz, jschlatt, awesamdude, quackity
headcanon!
the most disgusting fluff i’ve ever written
warning - cursing, i think that’s all but if there is more please do not hesitate to tell me :)
word count - 2k
a/n: okay okay, i might’ve lied earlier about that being my last post but this was short and easy to make which is why i would like to feed my readers this early haha. anyways, enjoy and please disregard the errors in this post, i hate proof reading anything lol. also, i’ve been very indecisive on the title and i might change it later and ooh, my masterlist will be made soon. i’ve just been feeling very unproductive these days. also, please put in requests, i am so bored and dumb therefore there are no ideas in this brain. and if you’d like a part 2, i might add more people for the part 2!anyways, peace!
Tumblr media
dream -
i get the feeling that dream’s favorite type of kisses would be cheek kisses
he just likes to watch as you struggle to reach his height
“aw look at those little legs do their thing.”
ends up with you not giving him his kiss
and mans becomes SO pouty
“y/n…come on. don’t be this way.” :(
if you don’t kiss him on the cheek, will also become SO clingy and whiny
“why won’t you KISS ME!”
clenches his fists and stomps away like a teenage girl during puberty
slamming the door to your room
so then you have to go and give him all the kisses he wants
his face is slammed into your pillow
you sit on the side of the bed and pet his hair
leading him to stare up at you with puppy dog eyes
“i will give you all the kisses you want. so stop being so pouty, you big baby.”
will literally leave zero feet of space between you and him
taps his cheek to tell you he wants kisses
when you go on dates, will literally make you stand on your tippy toes to get his kisses
does not bend down at all and actually lifts his head higher to tease you
in other words, clingy but rude hoe
Tumblr media
george -
george is a classic romantic
he loves just lip kisses
pecks or lingering ones
he doesn’t care
mans don’t need too many kisses
nor does he need to be too clingy
total opposite of dream and sapnap *ahem clingy ahem*
if he wants a kiss,
he will come over to you and get it
doesn’t get pouty if you’re busy
just waits patiently
doesn’t enjoy it when you interrupt him when he’s streaming so you do your own thing
when you’re watching a movie with him,
he will literally only stare at you with his cute smile
and listen to your every criticism of the movie
he likes to just peck your lips whenever he feels like it
and you’re just not surprised anymore
just likes to stare at your lips whenever you talk
overall, is very sweet but not to an extent with showing affection
Tumblr media
sapnap -
omg
sapnap just vibes with neck kisses
it tickles his neck and he loves them
giggles when you pepper kisses along his neck and flushes a deep red
“y/n. stop.” giggles between each word
but when you do, becomes the saddest person in the whole world
“i was joking.” :(
when he’s streaming and he begins to miss you
would leave his room and find you just to get a kiss
just like dream, would get angry if you give him no kisses
“GIVE ME KISSIES!”
very amusing for you
and you love to tease him
“i don’t want to give you kissies.”
continues to stare at you with a large frown until you give in and give him kissies
lsg supremacy but i’ll get into this later hehe
you better give him kisses or you’ll be dealing with a very sad sapnap
sadnap :(
Tumblr media
wilbur -
wilbur, wilbur, wilbur
what can i even say
total nose kiss guy
i bet he’ll boop your nose twenty four seven
asks stupid questions just to get your attention
“y/n?”
“yes wilbur?”
“is a hotdog a sandwich?”
“why-“
“boop.”
“did you just say boop while you booped my nose?”
if he’s streaming and you bring him a snack
he will hold your face still and leave kisses on your nose
not too clingy but not too distant
likes to be just right with you
if its snowy outside and your noses get red
makes dumb jokes about he is rudolph and you’re mrs. rudolph
just a lot of smooches from wilby
takes you to a lot of hidden cafes in the city
and while you read, he balances his head on his palm, staring at you in admiration
if you’re insecure about your nose, you legit can’t be around wilbur because he will go on a tangent about how beautiful it is
substantially, soft boy hours all day bro, besides when he gets mad then you leave the hormonal man tf alone
Tumblr media
punz -
i don’t see a lot of punz on tumblr so here we go
punz loves hand kisses
not to an extent where he has a hand fetish
god no but just like
when your holding hands, he’ll occasionally pull your hand up to his lips and leave a kiss
lots of hand holding
and i mean lots
constantly gets mad fun of for being a simp but ignores those comments because he genuinely loves you so much
likes it when you play with his hair and messing it up
also likes to compare hand sizes with you
always has a hand on your thigh or your hand in his whenever he is driving somewhere with you
even when you go on dates, always holding hands
no matter how sweaty your hand gets, he will hold on
sometimes if he holds on for too long, you have to tell him to let go
“punz, my hand is super sweaty. lets take a break from the hand holding.”
would flat out decline so you would have to pry your hand out of his
he would also love it when you would kiss his hand
makes him feel all polite and precious LOL
would also wrap his pinky along yours when you walk together
he once came with you to a family gathering for christmas and was so SHY
shy boy held your hand for security while your younger siblings made fun of you
afterwards, when you were under a mistletoe, he kisses you on the lips before kissing you on his favorite part of your body,
your hand
Tumblr media
c!jschlatt -
jschlatt is a whole mess
the first time you met, he confessed that he would hate you for as long as you lived because you made fun of his boots
now he says he still strongly dislikes you but you’re more tolerable
doesn’t like it when you make him soft and HATES it when he blushes
“why must you do this to me, mother nature?”
also “hates” it when you even touch him because he “hates” you
when he actually confessed to you that he liked you with his grumpy usual grandpa voice,
you kissed him on his forehead, after he bent down of course
he is an actual giant and threatens to squash you like an ant if he feels the need to
is an absolute monster to you but loves it when you kiss his forehead because it makes him feel secure and loved
likes to watch the wind blow through your hair and mess it up but gives you his hat because he like you being “all pretty and shit”
gets SUPER jealous when you hug children
like for example, when you went over to a family gathering at his house, his cousins came up to hug you
and when you let go of the child, the man child comes and lugs you over his shoulder
gets yelled at by his mom and gives her a sheepish smile before rolling his eyes and throwing you down on the sofa set next to him
his mom doesn’t approve of the way he treats you but you tell her its fine because he’s cute
when you are far from any type of civilization or in the safety and solitude of your own home, he wants kisses on the forehead
pointing up to it and bending down so you could reach it
“y/n, i only love you because of your forehead kisses.”
“you only love me for my kisses?” :(
“mhm.”
actually feels slightly bad
“and because of your personality.”
“thank you-“
“shut up. we don’t talk about this.”
in conclusion, give him his forehead kisses or perish
Tumblr media
awesamdude -
sam just adores it when you give him jawline kisses
not because it’s basically the only place you could reach but because it’s a sweet gesture
sam is all about sweetness
i mean have you even seen this man on his stream
he likes to watch you while you have conversations with your friends
not in a creepy way but more like an adoring way
cause man does he love you
i mean not only does he love you but his whole family does
and when you’re alone with sam, you love to bury him underneath all of your love
“i love you sam!”
“no i love you more y/n!”
“NO i LOVE you more!”
“NO i LOVE you MORE!”
“SAM NO. I LOVE YOU MORE!”
“okay thank you sweet pea.”
leaving you a bit confused but happy that he accepts your love
when you cuddle, omg
he never stops peppering kisses all over your face and vice versa because your relationship is disgustingly fluffy
when he lends you one of his sweatshirts, you sure as hell better wear that shit out or else (i am leaving a blank threat here)
sam loves technology but you guys sort of have a system
a system that involves mailing each other love letters rather than texting them
you guys also go on a ton of walks just about anywhere
hand holding is mandatory even though you probably look like a child compared to him
just give sam lots of love and in return, you’ll receive lots of love
Tumblr media
quackity -
mans cannot leave you tf alone
likes to do ANYTHING freaky around you
“i will follow you to the ends of the earth, mi amor.” or
“ayy, back off.” if anyone gets too close to you
messes with you twenty four seven and makes it his job to drive you insane
plays horror games at two in the morning for fun
and when he gets scared, hides in the safety of your arms
“mi amor. i’m scared.”
“shut the fuck up and sleep, alex.”
“okay.” shuts up quickly and snuggles deeper into the crook of your neck
loves you so deeply but HATES your cat
“look at that little dumb thing stare at me. you got a problem bro?”
your cat also HATES alex
scratches him all the time and hisses at him
if you think sapnap is babie, wait till you meet alex
“y/n he bit me!”
when you glance down, you don’t even see a scratch
“kiss my boo boo.”
wtf
“what boo boo? there’s nothing there.”
gasps as if you offended him
“this boo boo that your el demonio did to me.”
this man will do anything to get boo boo kisses
istg, you once found him provoking your cat to get some scratches
in alex’s mind, ouchies = kisses from y/n
always has ouchies from god knows where and shows it to you
even though you find it annoying at first, you grow used to it and it sorta becomes your thing with alex
alex is babie and you need to take good care of him :)

I can imagine their in canon first meeting like this:
The two are stuck together for a while (could be a cave in, could be prison), and Callum is initially on guard and hostile towards Aaravos. That is until Aaravos does a casual act of magic, and Callum forgets to be on alert to fan boy about magic.
What's your take on their in canon first meeting?
I've been thinking about that for a while, I'm working on explaining that whole front with a long post that will tie into how I'm portraying their relationship right now, but here's the summary of how I see it happening. All of these checkpoints have to be ticked off in their first meeting order for them to even have a remotely functional relationship. I will only use the information given to me IN THE SHOW (and maybe the wiki) up until season 3.
TLDR : read the in bold texts only.
1. Aaravos can not escaped the mirror with the dark magic metamorphosis spell
Let's start at the end of season 3.
Tumblr media
This cocoon right? It's foreshadowing that Aaravos is breaking himself outa jail. But what if - he couldn't cheat his way out like this?As soon as he emerges, he will disintegrate (insert graphic vaporizing in agony sketch here) Why i would write it this way?
2. Callum holds the key of Aaravos (aka the cube thing) foreshadowing that he himself holds the true key to Aaravos's freedom. Assuming that is what the key of Aaravos is supposed to do; amongst other things? please I need the lore.
Season 2, in Callum's near death experience, Callum threw away the "key of aaravos" that has turned into all the dark magic symbols.
Tumblr media
This meant that he rejected dark magic and is incorruptible, but to me personally I also interpreted this as the show foreshadowing Aaravos did not use the right key, instead used dark magic through Viren to try and escape his prison, his attempt was unsuccessful. Also the episode is named "the book of destiny" so y'know no BIG foreshadowing at play here haha.
3. Callum has been rejected to be taught magic by literally every Xadian elven mages even though he has proven himself to be able to connect to the sky. Because let's face it prejudice cannot be erased that easily. So he went looking for Aaravos in hopes that he will be the one teaching him magic; along with there is a possibility that there is another mirror connecting to the prison(but not necessarily) ok so I've always wondered this and I'm gonna go on a tangent if I talk more about this but why keep contact with the prisoner if your purpose is to cut him off from literally everyone like hello? Thunder? big brain much?? why keep mirror when can - idk man DESTROY MIRROR? is mirror unbreakable???if that's the case more lore on the stupid mirror please?
This is pretty self-explanatory and plausible.
4. Callum broke Aaravos out of jail. They have to hash it out as soon as he got him out. Aaravos must tell Callum everything, including the Viren incident. Callum has to witness the tragedy of war through Aaravos's eyes(seeing human gets slaughtered by elves and dragons in the good old days before his very eyes) and came to the conclusion that Aaravos lived in a very different time(shouldn't be hard because he himself is also became orphan because of the war) Callum does not forgive Aaravos for what he did but he suggested Aaravos chose peace this time around since war did him no good.
5.EVRYONE was not chill about Callum breaking Aaravos out of jail(for obvious reasons). Aaravos did not manipulate Callum into running away with him. Callum CHOSE him because they now have a mutual understanding of each other.
So now that I've had the stage set, let play a scenario shall we?
Callum went on a journey as his last resort to finding Aaravos, the so called "Master of all primal sources" that Harrow mentioned in his letter, hoping that he can learn magic and finally find a way to end the need to use dark magic for good. (Rayla Ez and Soren can accompany him, just to make this plot extra spicy) Unfortunately, because of the censorship happening to the all of Aaravos' literary mentions, Callum still have no clue to what is the deal with this man.
Callum finally was told Aaravos' story (this could be done through many ways like the Dragon queen could just tell him and/or some exposition character he found on his journey can tell him idk but either way he found out what Aaravos' deal was) but the stories are just propaganda of him as this source of corruption and evil etc (insert the lore that we don't know about Aaravos yet here)
This prompted very pissed off Callum. Let's say he is at Aaravos's study room and that is where he found out about his story. He would ask everyone to leave him alone for a minute. After they reluctantly did, Callum used magic out of frustrations, messing up the room and accidentally destroyed the over headlight. He cried and yelled at the very conveniently placed mirror about how he thought if anyone could- or would understand his wish for peace and to be a mage without prejudice, it would have been Aaravos, but nooo~ he just- HAD TO BE this evil deity that was banished and labeled something worst than death. He rested his head and hand on the mirror with the key in his hand and sulked when suddenly--
let's switch to Aaravos's perspective. After he was evaporated as soon as he stepped out of that cocoon, he was sent back to the mirror through this timey whiney void between life and death where he had a brief conversation with the ghost of Avizandum. They mocked each other for being arrogant with Aaravos remarking the Dragon that he is now dead and Thunder reminding the elf that only an incorruptible soul with the key could release him from his prison and that because Aaravos is rotten to the core-his words not mine, he can NEVER escape. Aaravos waking up back at the mirror world, stating that was an unpleasant experience, only to hear a thumping at the mirror as he caught a glimpse of Callum just crying and yelling. Although the boy couldn't see Aaravos, he felt like the boy's dismay was directed at him. So he came closer, placing his hand on the mirror, thinking it wouldn't connect but, he did it anyway, maybe he just wanted to comfort him in his own way. Aaravos is complicated. but it did connect They both stepped back, exchanged a look. They had an understanding that words cannot express. Callum mouthed "I'll help you." to Aaravos's surprise, pulled him out of the mirror while all sides of the cube glowed.
They talked, Callum exploded at Aaravos for (insert the plot we just got here), demanding him to tell him everything he has done. Aaravos showed Callum his memory of the war, of how the elves and dragon also slaughtered countless humans in front of his eyes. Callum is visibly sick witnessing this, now knowing that Aaravos lived in a very different time. Aaravos also disclosed that he helped Viren because he really just wanted to get out after THREE CENTURIES. Callum, obviously is still mad because cool motive still murder sir. But he also sympathize with Aaravos. He exchanged his own story about how Thunder also killed his mom and his gf's dad killed his step dad, but he implored the elf man to try peace this time anyway since all the time Aaravos chose war it always ended up backfire on him. Aaravos stayed quiet but he is actually considering the boy's offer cause CALLUM'S RIGHT. and Aaravos knows this.
Some more small talk and Aaravos finally asked why Callum came looking for him, Callum told him his wish, Aaravos just laughs and says 'ok'. Because - says Aaravos - It's either this (teaching Callum magic) or genocide
and frankly, Aaravos probably doesn't feel like the latter after the events that transpired the last 3 seasons. Callum showed Aaravos to his friends, it did NOT go well for obvious reasons and the authorities showed up to round up Aaravos. In the deciding moment, Rayla begged Callum that there will be someone else to teach him magic and extended her hand, even Aaravos told him he that should go with her, but Callum has already made up his mind. Cue Callum casting Aspiro to stir up dirt as cover and grabbing Aaravos's hand to both of their surprises like 'I can't believe I'm doing this but I have a feeling that we can understand each other so let's bail!' THAT. Ladies and gentlemen and everyone else, is how I would create this neutral party in canon. That is how the star met the sky. And the rest is history: just them being wholesome for 2 seasons: helping people(and elves...and dragons....and pretty much anyone in need), doing magic and running away from the law
(imagine the entirety of ss4 and 5 is just this but even more shenanigans with "not the runaway prince" and "not a war criminal"™ trying to make good life choices while being the best master/student duo the series have to offer)

DNP Rewatch: The Story of How We Met
Tumblr media
Date video was published: 12/19/2020 (X)
DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 431
PJ was the first “surprise” Stereo guest! Phil announced it was them on Twitter just ahead of the show on December 15. (Also, the title of this...if you weren’t aware of the Stereo shows and saw a notification for this, pretty sure you would assume a DNP video. Phil knew exactly what he was doing with the titles of these.)
0:00 - Phil was using the “coming up” teaser at the start of all his videos at this point. it’s fine and I understand why it’s useful for longer videos to get people to watch, but it’s not my favorite as I feel like it spoils some of the funniest moments
0:18 -  that picture from Japan had been Phil’s phone background at least since January
0:38 - love that PJ went with a clown nose for his Stereo icon 😂 and they’re coordinating with the red shirts. also Phil’s background lamp has been a different color for each one of the Stereo videos so far
Tumblr media
1:20 - PJ’s birthday! I didn’t really watch PJ’s videos regularly before this, but the video they posted for this birthday made me start watching more
1:41 - “haunted, but like, galactically” Phil coming in with a strange but perfect description as always
1:52 - important clarification there 😂 he’s so right though...adulthood is being excited by kitchen tools and home goods
2:17 - it had been over 12 years at this point! 🥺
2:34 - fireworks effect!
2:50 - aww, nervous early-YouTube Phil
2:59 - I always forget that PJ is Dan’s age and several years younger than Phil
Tumblr media
3:34 - Phil getting all the cat content from his Stereo guest between Seth and PJ here
4:06 - they’re just having fun with this, I love it
4:55 - PJ just immediately laughing at Phil’s very sad tree. They must have a pretty big monitor to be looking that far off to the side at Phil’s background
6:04 - the conversation keeps going on tangents but somehow it just works for Phil and PJ together
6:40 - aww, PJ sounds like a good cat parent
Tumblr media
7:15 - love Phil remembering and referencing that from the quiz show, and PJ’s terrible pun
7:44 - you can see in PJ’s eyes that they’re remembering this incident
7:58 - Phil inserting the editing screenshot, lol
8:47 - that would be terrifying. it must have been a large bird
8:59 - poor Sophie. I would not want to be the one actually driving during that
10:14 - both of them with the gross bird stories, although at least this one is less scary and more funny
10:45 - yes very old fashioned but I like that Phil listened to him
11:19 - Phil knows a lot about various types of pigeons, somehow
11:38 - nooooo...being pooped on by a bird at all is the worst, but on your face?!
12:18 - gah. I didn’t ever need to know that
13:05 - Phil starting to do more with the app by this show
Tumblr media
13:46 - “I’ve had too much sugar today” of course he has 😂
14:38 - Phil is so attached to all of his pets. I can’t tell if Norman was still alive at this point or not...they didn’t talk about him dying until January, but pretty sure that was delayed some
15:10 - Phil is so shocked and happy that the fish was okay
15:42 - this is a great one for PJ and Phil because they’re both such creative storytellers
16:26 - yeah, we do not have that in the US
16:56 - why is Phil’s ‘spraying’ gesture the same as his air quotes
17:01 - “vigorous polishing” and “rubbin’ the wood” nope nope nope! 😳
17:08 - Phil knows exactly what he is saying; he’s is failing at not laughing
18:13 - PJ’s specific accent really comes through on “buried”
18:51 - Phil is very intently listening to his story here...can’t wait to see where PJ is going with it
Tumblr media
19:23 - yeah the flying feature is helpful, haha
19:47 - hearing “nipple tassels” come through live and then trying to figure out what Phil was going to do with that was a moment
19:57 - 😂 oh Phil
20:45 - the editing’s getting a bit choppier and sped up towards the end here; he’s trying to fit things in in under 30 minutes I’m guessing
20:57 - PJ’s just going to accept that “everyone knows” statement
21:48 - another “everybody knows” haha
22:38 - were they even doing winners for the previous rounds?
23:02 - ah, reference back to The Forever Train that DNP both participated in for PJ!
23:21 - I love them reminiscing and laughing
24:20 - ahahaha! the clip! Phil is almost unrecognizable in it, actually
24:31 - PJ appreciated that compliment. and Phil is self-aware
Tumblr media
25:11 - interesting insight into PJ’s brain there
25:46 - of course Phil has a pee-related one and had to share it. of course.
26:28 - this is a great example of PJ just going right along with and expanding on whatever Phil comes up with
26:42 - Phil really does want everyone’s opinion on beards after that video. he asked Seth too. and he looks so shocked that they both have liked it
26:48 - would love to know which “some” PJ is referring too 😂
27:26 - well he had to know the audience would deliver on that request!
27:53 -  the full audio version of the show with PJ is also available on YouTube thanks to In Depth Bants!
28:15 - he must have been making bank from Stereo to do all that
28:22 - after-show bonus content! lol at Phil having the mustache filter on and the IMMEDIATE posting of the PJ beard edits
I love Phil and PJ’s dynamic so much. PJ is great at bouncing off of Phil’s sense of humor and they are so willing to jump 100% into whatever strange thing/idea Phil says. It’s so good.
