#PLEASE PLOT WT HER

Welcome Home Hyacinth Theory 🏠🪻🐛
Hello Tumblr! Most Welcome Home theories are just little bits and pieces or “Wally is evil, guys look!”/”Wally is not evil! He is a goober!” etc.
This theory is fully fledged and provides a plot and evidence. I call it the Welcome Home “Hyacinth” theory, after the myth that it is based on. This will be a very long post so here is a TLDR: Julie kills Eddie while they are playing croquette-bowling out of jealousy because he is getting too close to Frank, who is supposed to be her boyfriend/best friend within the show. Either just Eddie or everyone involved gets replaced, except for Wally, who witnessed everything. This is why we have all of those videos of Wally dissociating.
I have been sitting around in my toom rambling to myself about this theory like a madman for over a week so I decided to share it.
Please reference this post from @/partycoffin (the creator of Welcome Home) when discussing Welcome Home and be respectful in the comments and reblogs.

Welcome Home Website Secrets
Alright, let’s get into it! I have evidence to back up every single one of those claims, and I will include it in this post.
I want to be very thorough with explaining this. I’ll start by establishing that there are three main plots within Welcome Home (that I have noticed, anyways):
The plot of the late 60’s - early 70’s TV show, Welcome Home - only related to published episodes, books, audios, etc. that would have been shown to the public at the time of airing Welcome Home
“Behind the show” - feelings and actions of the puppets outside of the show (such as Frank and Eddie being a couple, or Frank being nonbinary)
The Welcome Home Restoration Project - people working to restore the TV show, Welcome Home, and find any and all information related to it and who made it
Okay so for the rest of this essay, when I mention BtS, it is related to the “behind the show” plot. I will color these things blue. When I write WtS, it is related to the “within the show” plot. I will color these things green. When I write WHRP, it is related to the Welcome Home Restoration Project. I will color these things pink. I will also mention things that have been said either on Clown’s Tumblr blog, Clown’s Twitter, or old streams. I will say CS, meaning “Clown source” to denote these things and color them orange. Clown source and behind the show areas often overlap, so Clown source information is dominant over behind the show information (if it is both I will just color it orange). Good? Good.
Now let’s establish our characters (only the ones related to this theory) and their relationships to one another. We’ll go alphabetically, starting with Eddie, then moving onto Frank, Julie, and Wally.
I’m going to assume that if you are reading this, you have already visited the website (clownillustration.com) and have a basic understanding of who Eddie is. So I will only focus on the elements of his character that will be relevant in this theory.
Eddie (WtS) is clumsy and overworks himself. He is often dragged into Julie’s games. His house (post office) looks like this:
Note the hyacinth flowers and the butterfly. Eddie (BtS) loves Frank. (CS) He is married to Frank in one art on Clown’s Tumblr. BY THE WAY IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND THIS IMAGE!!!! THEY ARE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER!!
Frank (WtS) is Julie’s boyfriend as it is implied that they are a couple within the show (I know a lot of us don’t like hearing this, but remember the three plots) (also for everyone that is going to argue with me on this, go look on their little profiles in the neighborhood section of the website and come back to me) and best friend. His house looks like this:
Note the sunflowers. Frank (BtS) loves Eddie.
(CS) As I said before, in one art on Clown’s Tumblr, Eddie and Frank are married (you can tell by the rings on their fingers in that image) . Frank is nonbinary but uses he/him pronouns (Clown refers to Frank on his blog with only he/him pronouns, so that is what I will use. Nonbinary people do not have to use they/them pronouns! Pronouns are not equal to gender!)
(WtS) Julie is a rainbow monster. Her thing is that she likes to make up and play games. She seems to be very strong (perhaps related to her being a rainbow monster), as she can easily lift Wally and is indirectly referenced to [throw a baseball very well] by Barnaby in the Live Interview audio. She also incorporates bowling into a lot of games where it is unnecessary. She seems to be immature, which is usually used to make her a playful character. Her and Frank are a couple. In several arts, her horns are different shapes or even nonexistent, implying that she has some ability to change her form. Her house looks like this:
Note the heart motif throughout the design. (BtS) Julie is best friends with Frank. (CS) She is genderfluid (she is only referred to using she/her pronouns on Clown’s blog, so that is what I will use).
(WtS) Wally is the main character in Welcome Home. His house is alive and is named Home. Home is often considered to be a ninth neighbor. Wally often communicates for Home. (WHRP) Wally signs Home’s name in the guestbook (as Home does not have hands) (please stop with the tentacles I have seen the art please stop for the love of god where did that even come from). (WtS) The other neighbors frequently ignore and talk over Wally, but he doesn’t seem to mind, saying that he loves all of his friends in the live interview audio.
Okay so now that that is established, let’s look at some promotional art. Promotional art is not necessarily canon and may contain outdated designs, but may hint at the plot of Welcome Home.
There is one more artwork that I would like to add, but it is on Clown’s KoFi. Here is a link to it that you can look at if you are subscribed to Clown’s KoFi:
[link to Clown’s KoFi here]
I won’t describe the image because some of you may not be subscribed to Clown’s KoFi. But if you are, you will see that the image supports my theory.
While we are discussing that image, I would also like to say that I believe that the puppets are some kind of biological organisms. I don’t have much evidence for this right now, but I may make a theory in the future.
We will come back to those promotional arts soon. Right now, let’s look at Frank and Eddie’s houses and discuss some symbolism and mythology.
Frank’s house has sunflowers outside of it. Sunflowers are a symbol of Apollo. Eddie has hyacinths outside of his post office, obviously a symbol of Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus and Apollo were lovers, but Hyacinthus tragically died. Let me tell the story so we have context. (I am really into Greek mythology by the way, it’s always been a special interest since middle school but I am also a Hellenic pagan, you should follow my witchcraft and paganism blog, creatively named @maxiswitchcraftandpaganblog)
So Apollo, god of the sun, art, archery, and LOTS of various other things, loved Hyacinthus, who was a mortal Spartan man. And Hyacinthus loved him too, by the way. The god of the (west? don’t feel like googling it) wind, Zephyrus, was jealous of Hyacinthus, because he also loved Apollo.
One day, Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing discus (like frisbee but the frisbee is giant and made of metal, kind of like a shield). Apollo threw the discus to Hyacinthus, but Zephyrus blew the discus off course with the wind, causing it to hit Hyacinthus in the head and kill him. Apollo created the hyacinth flower from Hyacinthus’ blood as he died, but in some myths made him a god. (read more on Apollo and Hyacinthus here)
I’m going to draw some parallels here. Frank = Apollo, Eddie = Hyacinthus, Julie = Zephyrus. Now Frank’s and Eddie’s parallels make sense because of the flowers, but where did I get Julie=Zephyrus from? Recall that (WtS) Julie and Frank are supposed to be a couple. Now, (BtS) Julie may or may not like Frank in that way, but she certainly enjoys being close to him as his best friend. Since she is already established as an immature character, it would make sense that she would be jealous seeing Frank get closer to Eddie.
Pause. So WtS, Frank and Julie are together. BtS, Frank and Eddie are together. If these are separate, then what is Julie jealous about? (WtS) Frank has been seen getting closer to Eddie even in the official material of the show. An example of this is him telling Eddie that he works too hard at the end of the “Eddie’s Big Lift” storybook record. So his BtS love for Eddie is leaking into the WtS canon. That is a problem for Julie, who is supposed to be Frank’s girlfriend WtS. So she comes up with an idea to fix this, much like the jealous god, Zephyrus.
So what does she do? Let’s turn our attention to the “Just So” song demo. This song was never finished with instrumentals, and for a reason. The puppets function as actors in the show, as it is obvious that they have their own free will, and Julie does something that the writers do not expect later in this episode. So the song was never finished because the episode was ruined.
In the “Just So” song demo, Frank and Julie are about to play croquette bowling. It was supposed to be just croquette, as Frank put on his croquette bow tie, but last minute, Julie added bowling to the mix.
Wally knocks on the door and interrupts their song, saying that Home wants to play croquette bowling too. This implies that Julie told someone else that they would be playing croquette bowling after she added bowling. I feel like Wally and Home overheard Julie telling Eddie that they would be playing croquette bowling. This would make sense, as Wally often stands by and listens while the other neighbors talk. It is not unusual for Eddie to participate in Julie’s games, either, as we see from Julie playing “business woman in the big city” with him. [add a photo]
The song recording ends before we see them playing croquette bowling together. But I have a piece of evidence to tell us how it ends. Look at this promotional art again.
You probably assumed that the figure in the back was holding a hammer, but that could actually be a croquette mallet!
It’s covered in some gory-looking stuff, probably from Eddie. Now look at the flower. Whose eyes look like that? Almond-shaped, round pupils. Only one character: Wally. Wally was a witness, which would make sense for him, since he often watches on as the other neighbors do things.
Julie is holding the flower in front of her, looking innocent. This is a stretch, but I think that this might be symbolism for her saying that she didn’t do it on purpose, Wally saw the whole thing, ask him! And Wally doesn’t know what to do. I don’t know what he does from there.
Maybe this image is a clue? I genuinely don’t know. Once again, promotional art is not necessarily canon, but we can use the concepts from it in theories.
This next part is also a bit of a stretch. The neighbors having a memory of something like that happening would ruin their “acting” (I think they are just being recorded as they do what they would naturally do). The show can’t have that. The solution? Replace everyone involved.
Now go back and look in the promotional art section and look at that art of Frank. It looks like Frank is laying among extra puppet parts. They have extras!
And this is why Wally is dissociating in the videos we see when we click on the bugs. They did not replace him, because like the neighbors, they didn’t even notice he was there.
Okay yeah that’s the theory. It was really hard to get this into a coherent Google Doc and gather all the links. I was just rambling to myself about this in my room over and over pacing around for like a week. But yeah here you go, hope it's a good theory, sorry if it's not lol please be nice to me

DAY 26 — BETTER BOYFRIEND
PAIRING: bestfriend!soobin x fem!reader
GENRE: smut, maybe a little cheating, sex with plot, reader has a bad boyfriend, unprotected sex (don’t do this), nicknames, praising, soft sex, dry humping, slightly mutual masturbation, creampie, a little fluff at the end.
WARNINGS: smut content.
“why is always me?” you said hiding you tears in your friend chest.
“i’ve tell you a million of times, y/n” soobin said. “it’s not your fault. you know i love you, but i said it before, i’ll say it now, your boyfriend his a piece of shit”
it wasn’t the first time you found yourself in this situation. you, on Soobin’s arms crying because you caught your boyfriend cheating on you again. the first time you let it pass, just because your boyfriend told you that he was very drunk and that it wasn’t her fault. bad decision, because he was cheating on you again.
“how can i be so stupid?” you told to him. “i should have left him the first time this happen”
“you have to broke up with him now y/n. he doesn’t deserve you, you are too good for him” he said with a little smile, trying to comfort you.
“you are the best friend on the world soobin” you said giving him back the smile.
“it’s the truth! you are to pretty for him, you are like so gorgeous and he is like so disgusting. and your smile is so pretty, and your hair, and you eyes, i really love your eyes. also i like the way your hair looks, it’s like so soft, and just everything about you is… beautiful” he said.
“what are you saying soob?” you said with a little laugh
“y/n, I…”
he couldn’t hold it anymore. soobin pressed his soft plump lips against yours, leaving you completely surprised. at first you didn’t knew what to do, but you quickly respond back to the kiss.
“let me prove that i can be a better boyfriend than him” he whispered on your lips.
your answer was kissing him again, your hands moved behind his neck, pulling him more even closer. his hands went down to your waist, encouraging you to get in his lap.
you sited on him, feeling his hard bulge on your wet core. you hands were on soobin’s hair, while his were going down you lower back, finally getting to your ass. His hands massaged your ass, squeezing it slightly while his lips remained on yours. soobin’s hands went back to your waist, this time, he moved your hips back and forth to create some friction between your needy parts.
you moaned on his lips, feeling how his tight jeans were rubbing against your panties. you were wearing a skirt, soobin’s favorite skirt. your pussy was dripping wet, your clit rubbing over and over again on his jeans. you couldn’t wait how he would feel inside you.
“i need you, soobin” you said near his lips. “please?”
“you’re so sweet and pretty” soobin said looking at your face with a smile, showing his cute dimples.
“stop” you said hiding your face with a smile in the crook of his neck. “you’re making me shy”
how can he be so hot and then so sweet?
“i’ll give you what yo want” he said.
you started to kiss him again while he was unbuttoning his jeans, you moved from his lips to his neck, leaving open mouth kissed all around that area. you watched as Soobin finally took his cock out, all hard and with pre-cum on his tip.
one of his hands went down to your core, moaning at his touch, soobin passed one finger on your slit. you were wt enough, but he wanted to make you even more. while his hands were taking care of your pussy, your hand went down to his dick, moving your hand up and down pleasing him. he put one finger inside you, his soft pink lips going directly to your neck leaving leaving dark spots in it.
soobin took his finger out, taking with one hand his big dick and aligning it with your entrance. the tip of his dick was touching a spot deep inside you, filling you completely. you started to ride his dick, jumping a little and watching soobin’s face lost in pleasure. you took off your t-shirt, leaving you boobs exposed, being only cover by your bra. with the help of your hands you unbuttoned your bra, this time leaving your boobs completely exposed for soobin’s view.
his mouth went directly to your hard nipple, while one of his hand was massaging the other one. your hips were moving back and forth, up and down, your best friends dick touching your g-spot every time.
“fuck you feel so good around me” soobin said. “you’re so good y/n, you are the best”
“you’re feeling me up so well soobin” you moaned. “god, i really think i’m in love with you”
you felt that familiar know in your stomach, announcing that your orgasm was near. by the way soobin was starting to make little trust on your cunt you could also tell that he was about to cum. watching you riding in his dick, with your boobs bouncing inches far his face, was taking him to the edge.
“y/n i’m gonna cum”
“don’t pull out, cum inside me” you said breathless.
“are you in the pill?” he asked.
“shit, that doesn’t matter. i want you to cum inside me, fill me with your cum soob” you told him.
you started to ride him harder, bouncing on his cock searching for your own release. with a few more thrusts you came on his dick, painting it completely white for your cum. he continue to fuck you, your pussy filing a mixture of overstimulation and the hot sensation of his cum.
he didn’t pull his dick out, you put your head in his chest while both of you tried to catch you breath. you looked up, watching soobin’s face admiring yours with a smile.
“what are you smiling at?” you said with a little giggle, giving him a hug.
“it’s just that i never thought this would come true” he answered.
“are you telling me that you had imagine fucking me before?” you asked with a smile.
“maybe…”
“i’m going to take that as a yes” you laughed.
“i mean yes, but not only that. i’ve like you for a while now y/n, i really was going to tell you but then you came up with this shitty boy and my plans got ruined” he explained.
“i’m so sorry, soobin” you said. “i thought that you would never like me back, so i tried to hide my feelings going out but someone else. but this someone else ended being a shithead, so—”
“wait! are you telling me that you have been in love with me this whole time?” he said loudly. “why didn’t you tell me!?”
“because i thought that you didn’t like me back!”
“but i have been in love with you like forever, how didn’t you notice it?”
“am i that blind? how could i be so stupid?” you said covering your face with your hands.
“well, that doesn’t matter anymore. why? because you love me, i love you, and now we can be happy together” he smiled.
“i love you soob, yo are the best in the world” you said kissing his lips.
“i love you more”

ACOTAR Completely Fell Off After Book Two
- A popular opinion
I've said it before and I'll say it again, book five is unmitigated bullshit. Everyone's personality got fucked except Nes and Cas. Like, come on, Feyre becomes a nobody, Rhys becomes an asshole, Amren attempts to convince Rhys to take over the fucking world, and Mor in implied to be jealous of Nesta. What??? She's jealous that Nes is hooking up with Cassian??? Why? On so many levels that makes no sense, and Maas never goes anywhere with it.
Book one was strong, book one could function as a stand-alone. Book two was also strong, if and only if book three was strong too and delivered on the expectations, loose ends, and unanswered questions book two had left us with. Spoiler alert, it didn't.
The King of Hybern is a shallow, one-dimensional antagonist. I've met Disney villains with more justification, Marvel villains with more backstory. Naruto gave me better antagonists than ACOTAR. Rhys does some questionable shit in this book. Amren dying and then undying with no explanation takes all the meaning and weight out of her sacrifice (and look what she went on to do in book five, get her personality completely overlooked for five minutes of tension. Stay dead, girlie) The list could go on forever.
I think we all know what happened here. Maas had no idea what to do with her story beyond book two. Book one, solid. Book two, solid, but leaves book three with some work to do. Book three, does none of that work, bs. Book four, it's 200 pages and doesn't count, filler. Book five, unmitigated directionless bullshit. Wtf was happening with that human queen??? Nothing that happened in the “main plot” of that book made any sense (whether we're diving in and taking this as their lives that they're living or as Maas's fictional narrative) the only good part was Nesta and the girls.
Anyway, so concludes my rant. I love the Court of Dreams to death, but they deserved a better author and a better story.
OH! And wt actual f is going to happen in this alleged book six???? Like, book five's ending felt like closure. Please god tell me this is not going to be an Elaine x Azriel switching POV like book five🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The only thing worse would be if it was a timeskip and Nyx is our MC. I would actually burn the book.
OHHH! I also hate that Nesta and Cassian are mates. I really thought Feyre and Rhys would be destined love, soulmates, an example of how beautiful it is when the bond works out, Nes and Cas would be love without the mating bond, and no less valid or beautiful, and Elaine would be finding her mate and choosing not to take him, and also choosing not to take the other suiter. I thought Elaine would end up either with Greysen or with some rando from Velaris (if rando, then off page. The series would end with her single and happy)
Anyway, yeah✌🏼

Harringrove Kinktober Day 29: Breeding Kink [NSFW]
Rating: Explicit
Relationship: Steve Harrington/Billy Hargrove
WT: porn without plot, breeding kink/ begging
WC: 1084
Steve is cooking when Billy comes back from work and Billy looks at the pile of dirty plates with worry. It is not unusual for Steve to cook dinner, but this is not dinner, this is clearly stress cooking.
There is something already cooking in the oven, a big bowl of soup is in the middle of the table and Steve is cutting some cookies from a cookie dough.
“Is everything ok?” Billy asks and Steve startles.
“Billy. I didn’t hear you come in. Sorry. I was…”
“Stress cooking?” he asks, dragging Steve toward a chair.
“Maybe?”
“And there is a reason?” Billy is always very careful when Steve is stressed, he prefers to give him space and wait for him to come to Billy and ask for what he needs, but this time he feels that he has to stop Steve before every surface of the house will be covered in food.
“No… nothing in particular.” Steve replies, trying to get up but his boyfriend gently stops him.
“Steve…”
“It’s… it’s stupid, ok? I… I don’t want to talk about that.”
Billy pinches Steve’s chin “Nothing that you feel or think is stupid, is that clear?” he whispers and Steve lowers his eyes.
“No, really. This thing is like… very stupid.”
“Tell me what it is and I’ll tell you if it’s stupid or not.”
“You are going to laugh at me.”
“I swear I will not.”
“You will. I’m sure you will. Because it’s stupid.”
Now Billy is beginning to feel uneasy and worried.
“Steve, please, tell me.”
The boy sighs, cleaning his hands on the apron he is wearing. The word MAMA is written on it in big bold letters.
“I… I’d like you to knock me up.”
Billy stares at him for a moment then he asks “You know… you know that’s not possible, right?”
Steve tries to get back to the oven but Billy grabs his arm “You know that, right?”
“I know. I know. It’s just…”
“It’s just that it turns you on?” Billy understands, looking at the little tent under the apron.
Steve nods, too ashamed to look him in the eye.
“Well if it’s so… at what time do you think dinner will be ready?”
Steve turns toward the oven “I just put the timer, it’s… fifty minutes more.”
Billy smirks “Plenty of time. Go in our bedroom and wait for me.”
“But the cookies…”
“Later.” Billy states “Now go.”
Steve runs toward their room and Billy for a moment envisions him with a round belly, walking around their home barefoot while complaining about getting too fat, and his dick twitch.
That is not something that he has ever thought about, but now that Steve brought that up all he can think is painting Steve’s inside with his cum and getting him pregnant with his baby.
Their baby.
When he gets into their rooms Steve is already naked on the bed, the lube ready on the nightstand.
Billy kisses him slowly.
“I’m going to fuck you until it takes, you know that right?” Billy whispers in his mouth “My princess wants a baby and I want to give it to her.”
“Don’t you think… Don’t you think it’s stupid?”
“Millions of people want a baby, princess.”
“But us… me…”
“How many do you want?” he asks, licking the column of Steve’s neck.
“S… six?”
“Six? Well in this case we need to start trying, don’t you think so?”
Steve shivers while Billy’s fingers start to circle his hole and then they open him slowly and steadily,
“What? Are you worried that I'm going to knock you up, baby?” Billy asks him, while he starts to thrust inside “You would be so pretty with my baby in your belly.” Billy continues until he finds himself buried in Steve’s hotness “At the beginning no one will notice, but after a few months you’ll start to show and everyone will know that you are mine and that you are growing my baby.” he starts to move, hitting on Steve’s prostate every time.
Steve squirms, his breathing erratic under Billy’s ministrations.
“Billy…” he begs, not knowing what he is asking for.
“Look at you… so beautiful. Can you imagine how big you’ll become when you're pregnant? I can’t wait to see you all round and sweet, walking barefoot in the kitchen eating pineapple with Tabasco or some other crazy shit.” Billy murmurs and Steve moans under him.
“You are taking me so well. Your body knows that you are made for me. I’m going to fill you with my cum until it takes, until everyone will know that you laid in my bed, taking all my sperm until you got pregnant. Look how your stomach bulges. Can you feel it? Can you feel how full of me you are? Because you are mine, aren’t you, sweet thing?”
“All yours, Billy.” Steve whispers, his eyes half closed and a hand on his stomach, feeling the pressure of Billy’s dick inside him.
“How many kids did you tell me you want?”
“Six?”
“Six? That’s a big number, baby. You are going to pass all your youth with a pregnant belly and I’m going to make it happen, you know that, right? I’ll give you everything you want.”
“Please… please Billy.”
“Please what?”
“I need… I need to come.” Steve moans, turning his face toward the pillow.
“Look at me when you ask me something.” Billy replies in a stern tone and Steve slowly turns and finds Billy’s blue piercing eyes staring at him.
“Can I come? Please?” he begs.
Billy stares at him, not knowing if he should let him come or if he should make him beg a little more, but his boy was so brave asking for what he needed that he doesn’t want to make him beg anymore.
“You can come but I will not stop. I need to fill you don’t I?”
Steve comes with a scream while Billy keeps thrusting inside him until the muscles of his abdomen flex hard and he comes with a grunt inside Steve.
They remain like that, Billy deeply buried inside Steve and Steve still moaning under him.
“I have to make sure it takes, don’t I?” Billy replies when Steve tries to move.
They are both covered in cum and sweat, but Steve hugs Billy tight, sniffing his hair.
“What if it didn’t take?” Steve asks and Billy smiles.
“In that case, we will have to try again, and again, and again.”

Wishful Thinking Chpt. 9
Andy Barber x You (Reader), no use of Y/N
Alternate Universe - College AU
Summary: A new semester. A new task. A new boyfriend, your previous professor, Andy Barber. Everything seems to be going on the right track. So why didn't it?
Warning: Angst, possessive behavior, inappropriate teacher-student relationship, power imbalance, age difference, cheating, explicit language, toxic dom/sub relationship, more arguments
A/N: This fic has some disturbing themes, and discusses potentially upsetting topics. Please read through the warning before engaging with the fic. As I have said, the fic has mentioned a number of (potentially) triggering and heavy topics, you don't have to engage further if you feel uncomfortable about one or more topics.
A/N 2: Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back! I'm feeling way better and I'm merging towards my social life as well. I did a litte editing and changing on part 8 where they argued. But it doesn't affect the plot. Feel free to check it out :3 Two more chapters and WT will be completed (I hope I'll get it done by December based on my current speed lmao)
Wishful Thinking M. List Dancing in the Daydream M. List
From [email protected]
Dear all,
I hope this reaches you well. This email is to remind those of you who have yet to submit your form for assigning a supervisor…
You have been looking at this email for quite some time. Opening the link at the bottom of this email too. But you haven’t made a move yet.
You have thought about having Andy as your supervisor, but that idea sounded like a lifetime ago. And now, there’s no way you’d let Andy be your supervisor.
How are you going to face him? This is more than just some misunderstanding from last semester. This is you two breaking up. Broken up. Whatever.
You are not making him your supervisor.
Taking a deep breath, you text a reply to the message your barely-friend Fiona sent you half an hour ago.
Fiona: Are you going to choose Barber as your supervisor?
You: No. Klein.
A few more messages come from Fiona after you send it. But you ignore them, knowing that she’d be asking dumb questions.
No, probing questions like “what are you going to write for your dissertation” or “should I include my pilot study into my dissertation” or other things that she wants to make an impression in front of her supervisor without “borrowing” from your answers first.
Bitch.
You feel like screaming. Which you did, after punching your mattress and burying your head into the pillow. Only lifting your head when you are completely out of breath.
With everything that happened with Andy, Laurie, Fiona and your schoolwork, it feels like nothing could alleviate you from the endless mess of self-doubt and self-hatred. Hating others as well. Hating your friend choices. Hating your boyfriend choices. Hating your school which led you to him. Hating everyone and every being on this very planet.
Hating yourself.
“Fucking hell.” You mumble to yourself. Pulling your laptop close to fill in the form for dissertation supervisors.
Typing word for word of your dissertation title, and selecting “Joanna Klein” as your preferred supervisor.
I hate my life. The idea keeps floating in your head like the obnoxious bubbles in a soda can, spritzing tiny drops of irritating reality into your face.
Andy has just received the email from Joanna Klein to all available lecturers and professors about supervising students in their dissertations.
He found the familiar name – your name – in a heartbeat. Merely sticking out his lips and making what Laurie would call “a bitch face”, as he found your name under the list of students under the supervision of Joanna Klein.
The pure imagination of pulling the strings behind your dissertation, of having a say in what you could not refuse, seeing you writhing under his grasp, gets his blood pumping in his veins.
He’s probably sick to the bones. One brief moment of clarity tells him so. To get high just to watch you struggling in his control. The adrenaline rush of knowing you are helpless, having no one to turn to but him.
He probably needs help.
But who needs help, when you, the most direct and sufficing way of satisfying his hunger, practically serve your weakness on a silver platter?
Andy pulls his chair closer to the desk, makes up his mind, and starts typing on the keyboard.
He is doing what’s best for you.
You might not see it that way for now but…
You’ll understand, eventually.
Andy sits in his office. Waiting. Patiently. Tapping his fingers on the table surface, as he looks out of the window.
It has only been a while, since you last came to his office to deliver his suit and your breakup.
However, things turned rather quickly, as there was no room for argument as the final version of the list containing supervisor and their students to tutor through the dissertation was settled as the last nail in the coffin.
Five students, students that he is going to supervise, are about to enter that door. And one of them being you.
He grins, thinking of the fact that you are tied to him for the rest of the term time.
No use running. He rolls your name on his tongue silently. He’s far beyond any help could ever achieve in pulling him back. He wants you, one way or another.
He’d keep you, treat you like the precious thing he adores, if you behave.
If you do not… well, there are more than a few ways that he can think of to devour you.
He’d keep you, one way or another.
Five students, including you, walked through that door, sitting on the chairs that he prepared. You picked the seat furthest from him, in a small corner. Didn’t make eye contact. No friendly “hello”. No nothing.
He doesn’t mind.
He knows that you are still mad about your little dispute.
He will tolerate it, knowing that you still love him.
He will explain, tell you that he will fight tooth and nail for you. Tell you that you could start over. He was being unreasonable. He was frustrated and angry, and he lashed out on you, that he was sorry about it all.
Later. He will explain later.
Andy clears his throat, folding his hands on his stomach, “Today we’ll start by having a brief introduction of yourselves. You obviously know me, since I’ve taught you all, but I would still like it if you could introduce yourself to each other. You can tell us about your name, something about yourself, and also tell us about what you are planning to write for your dissertation…”
He pays no special attention to you. He comments, nods, and gives useful suggestions based on everyone’s self-introduction.
“I understand I’m asking for a lot of work in a short amount of time. However, I would expect you to produce a general frame of your dissertation by the next meeting, which is two weeks from now. In the framework, you’ll be talking about how you want to approach your topic-” He stops Fiona from scribbling on her notebook, but ignores you who are doing the same. What can he say, he favors you in the smallest of details, “I’ll send you all an email after this meeting for the framework you’ll be writing about. The topic, the details you are going to investigate, the methodology – I’m sure Professor Rifkin has explained this in her class, and also, keep an open mind when you are writing the dissertation, especially for those who are employing a qualitative method to analyze their data. Any questions?”
You are the first to rush out of his office after he declares that today’s session has come to an end.
He waits until the last student has left the floor before heading out.
The entire floor is quiet. Dead. Deserted.
His shoes barely make a sound on the soft carpet as he steps out of his office, finding you on the floor, sitting on the carpet. You have opened your laptop, but it seems blank.
You gain your consciousness when he approaches, looking up at him. A sigh leaving your lips before you speak, “You did this.”
Not a question, but a firm sentence.
You know he was behind this transfer of dissertation supervisors.
Andy neither confirms nor denies. He cocks his head slightly, looking at your tired expression, “You will need to work on your methodology. Your arguments wouldn’t be convincing if you only state the method for your dissertation.”
“Can’t we be those ex-es like friends? Stop torturing each other over the fact that we broke up? Can you just leave me alone?” You take a deep breath, saying the words that you know he will be disapproving of.
He takes a seat on the couch in the open space, about three feet from where you are sitting, but he doesn’t have to put extra pressure on his neck looking at you from above.
Andy interlaces his fingers into a fist, his thumbs tapping each other.
To tell the truth, he couldn’t. He couldn’t let go of you. Couldn’t watch you go away.
“Look-” Seeing him unresponsive to your plead, you change your tactics, switching into defiance, “If you want to be a bitch about our relationship, I will have to put in a request to the faculty about changing my supervisor.”
Andy lets out a cold, hard laugh. Raising his eyebrows in disbelief, Andy “kindly” tells you about the regulation that runs around the place: “Nice try getting rid of me, sweetheart. But even if you do, and that’s a big ‘if’, you would still have to write your dissertation, and during scoring, your dissertation would be assigned to lecturers based on your topic. And I know all your topics, sweetheart.”
Your lips visibly tremble in fear, so are your arms, “You wouldn’t.”
“Watch me.” His tone turns sharp, “I can put an A into your months of work, or an F. Your choice.”
“Yeah? And what should I do for an A?” You shut your laptop with a loud snap, jumping from the spot on the floor to your feet. Clenching your teeth and hissing like venom burns your mouth, you challenge him even further, “Suck your dick, Professor Barber?”
“Be nice, sweetheart. I’m trying to be a friend.” Andy narrows his eyes, the threat in his tone is evident, “First of, I suggest you to be respectful when talking to me.”
You glare at him with fire burning in your eyes.
“I'm not a monster, sweetheart. But if you poke me like that, I don't mind putting a little discipline inside that pretty little brain of yours. Try to stay on my good side, yeah?” Andy stands to his full height, buttoning his suit jacket as he stands up, casually tugging the hem of his shirt and his tie. After tiding himself up, Andy lifts his hand to caress your jaw.
You jerk your head on instinct but his fingers dig into your neck, reminding you, painfully, of the night that he went overboard and fucked your throat.
His grip softens when he feels you freeze on spot. Tracing his thumb on your jawline, he murmurs, “Remember, sweetheart? I'm your Dom. I tell you something, and you do it.”
“You're not my fucking Dom.” You grit out.
“Still bratty, I see. You're a handful but I doubt there's anything that can't be solved by some punishments.”
His thumb forces you to lift your chin, even so, you refuse to look at him.
It takes you a few seconds to regain your voice, “You can't expect me to whore out myself.”
If that’s what he’s asking.
Andy presses a small kiss to your temple, whispering by your ear, “I don't really mind, sweetheart, as long as it is you.”
Some sense finally comes to you, your body shakes like a leaf in both fear and fury, you try to sound tough, but it comes out no better than a whimper, “I could report you to the board of malpractice.”
“And I have a lawyer friend, honey. He's the best in town. God knows how long a lawsuit can take. 18 months? 24?”
“Honey” was usually meant for Laurie, but he is beyond caring which endearment belongs to whom at this point.
“You're ... evil.” You want to move, but you cannot, not when he’s still having an iron grip over your neck.
“Maybe.” Andy shrugs, letting go of your neck, “Now run along before I do something evil, like fucking you over my desk.”
You pack your things as fast as you can, leaving the place without another word.
The rest of the term time passed in a blur. He attends your graduation ceremony with a heart-felt smile, knowing well that he black-mailed you into accepting his supervision and that you have an impeccable dissertation as he almost looked through every word of it, which probably violated ten faculty rules, if not twenty.
He is still clapping when you receive the graduation certificate from Joanna Klein, while he stands on the side. The next thing he knows, you are rushing towards him with a knife in your hand, carving his chest almost in half and he dies before the ambulance can reach the hospital.
His soul floats in mid-air as he watches everything pans out.
Laurie takes over everything, every property in their marriage.
You are charged with murder, serving your life-sentence in a max-security prison.
And Laurie… Laurie divorced him and marries the man she was having an affair with, decorating Andy’s house into a shit-yellow color, laughing and doesn’t have to worry about the rest of her life since she has all the money, cars, and houses that she could get their hands on…
Andy wakes up screaming.
Panting.
Taking a few seconds to realize that he is not in a ghost state and that he is still alive.
Alive. Awake. In his home. In the middle of the night.
Everything in the dream felt so real. Like it actually happened.
Andy touches his chest, where the skin and flesh are intact.
He is still alive.
He sweated through his sheet.
Another few seconds pass and he stays up, hands over his face, recalling the horrible dream.
The absolute nightmare where he told Joanna to switch you to his-
Shit.
He pulls himself over the bed and snatches his phone from the nightstand, checking his email.
The sudden blue light from his phone has him cursing. After flipping over his inbox and finding that he received the email of supervising students yesterday, but hasn’t made a move yet, he lets out an exhale of relief.
He groans and lies back to the bed. His heart still pounding frantically.
A string of curses flies out of his mouth.
Rest assured that he is not going to pull a favor and get you assigned to him.
But he wants you so bad.
How can he live when he wants you so bad and he pissed you off by saying the most harmful things that could be ever said to you?

I've been rereading City of Blank before it gets censored, and I just wanted to say I love it just as much as I did when I first started reading 3 years ago, if not more so now that I can see plot elements being set up and foreshadowing, etc. It made me sad to see you on twitter/X talking about how S1 isn't good. I can understand being hard on your own work, I'm like that, but why S1 in particular? I really like it! I could make notes as I go through listing out each and every thing I love in every chapter and I'd be doing it for ages. I've read a ton of web comics before and after finding CoB and yet it remains my favorite even still, including S1. Ignore my question if you want, I don't wanna bother you, but please at least accept the compliments because you deserve it and more, thank you for sharing your story 💜
Hmm, to be clear, it's not like I think season 1 is a steaming pile of crap or anything... I just think it's...nothing special and not particularly good.
I think it's biggest issue is it's pacing. S1 feels like...2 or 3 episodes, all stretched out into 25 episodes. A big part of this is because I was told they wanted s1 to end on Jericho's reveal, and back then, they didn't want first-time creators like myself committing to 50+ ep seasons they weren't sure they could keep up with. And honestly, not a ton happened between the first ep and Jericho's reveal. In hind sight, there was a lot more I could have done. I could have had Rex bond with Des and Lyss more, and just...given Lyss more screen time in general. I know so many people dropped the series because Lyss is introduced and when boy meets girl in media, they assume there's gonna be SOME romance there...but then Lyss just kinda fucks off and is asleep for literally 2/3rds of s1, losing that entire audience. Even if...Lyss didn't end up being the love interest, I wish I kept her around more to at least give people the false hope that she would be so I could have just maintained that huge part of WT's audience LMAO.
But instead, half of s1 was spent on that night on the town with Rex and Des and fighting Claude. These are things that crossed my mind when writing it but... I don't know how else to put it other than back then I just had the mindset of "eh, good enough."
And on that note, I think the story just wasn't nearly as personal to me back then. I remember literally telling people like "It's nothing deep. The blanks don't represent anything. Sometimes people just wanna tell a fun story." Which...to be clear, 100% valid to people who wanna tell stories like that! But uh... by the end of s2, that stopped being the case. And this story became very personal to me. It became really impossible for blanks and their struggles to not represent things deeply personal to me. Around end of s2 is when this story started to be a lot more than "just a fun story w/ no deeper meaning" and when I really really started to pour my heart into it, and I LIKE to think it shows, because s3 is hands down where I'm most confident in my writing, compared to s1, when it was just trying to be a safe shonen adventure.
Lastly, going back to s1, I guess I kind of underestimated just how much this would end up meaning to me, and how having a weak-ish s1 would impact me 3 years later in s4. Back then I wasn't thinking about how the audience I get back in s1 is only gonna be a fraction of the audience you maintain in s4. I didn't realize there would be literal discussions on Reddit of comics people dropped and CoB being one of them bc of a lackluster s1. I wasn't thinking about how I would eventually be showing this to agents and publishers and that they might not look past it beyond s1 as just very average, mid content.
I was really just kinda in the mindset of "This is just Canvas 2, and if people like it, they like it!!" I wasn't thinking about how not putting 100% into s1 was going to potentially cost me thousands of readers, dollars, and even potential opportunities.
So TLDR, I don't think s1 is the worst thing ever, but a lack of heart, ambition, certain conditions, and just experience made it very lackluster in my opinion. I wish I could put a huge disclaimer on the series "IT GETS BETTER I PROMISE"

hopefully unbroken local group info under the cut (guy who is about to jinx himself)
Weaving Tales (they/them) — senior of the group. kind and patient and yes, of course they will help you, but could everyone just stop having constant problems and conflicts for one second? it’s tiring. they need to go on vacation. has a soft spot for younger iterators and is NOT good at hiding it. (and yes, their wires are tied in a braid, and no, i’m not drawing all that)
Recognition In Spirit (he/him) — NS but worse. will NOT help you. hates interacting and is just kind of mean to everyone for no reason. only listens to WT and in return they are the only one who can tolerate him. we’re not sure what’s wrong with him, sorry
Cognitive Dissonance (she/they) — used to be normal before getting infected with a virus which the ancients couldn’t fix so now she’s just Like That. unhinged. incomprehensible. forgets what she’s talking about in the middle of sentences and etc etc. but friendly! and good at gaming! it’s the only thing she can really do ever since being rendered unable to work properly. kind of a toxic gamer though… btw her funky eye changes shape constantly (most of the time it’s random, but sometimes it can portray her emotions, like a question mark)
Spins On Axis Rapidly (any pronouns) — bit of a nervous wreck. decidedly NOT a fan of interacting because it makes them anxious, but they will be nice if you do speak to them (and if you get them to open up, they can actually talk quite a lot!) just a guy trying know if they’re doing everything right so don’t get mad at them, please? pretty please? enjoys studying the stars and wishes they had better equipment to do so, but they make do with what they have. RIS’ younger sibling — however, not exempt from his Chronic Meanness
Fates Torn Again (he/she) — acts all nice and polite but is actually a little hater at heart. it’s all pleasant conversation with her until you turn around and suddenly she’s like, plotting your murder or something. high school bully in iterator form. self proclaimed #1 NS hater despite talking to them on a regular basis. besties with WT and likes to gossip TO them (important distinction bc WT very much does not gossip) as well as complain to them about pretty much everything
Speaks Of Nothing (they/them) — just some guy. they just work here
#guy who is. so normal#i hope this works like oh mein gott#if you have any questions feel free to ask. i might wither away though just bc of how tumblr treat me today#crammerposting

(captions~)
Violet continues to be fun... though another grinding moment is incoming.
- Midterms had some funny moments, but later I realized that somehow Fomantis had been evading me and I spent that and the next day hunting for it, only to eventually pull out the Sandwich Simulator and whip up the perfect grass encounter sandwich! (Why can’t I sort the recipes in-game??)
-Since I was grinding mons I only wanted for the Pokedex I did raids for EXP Candies and finally noticed that Maushold don’t share the jewelhead, nuu...
- After getting a shiny spider from WT (-Attack, ew) and before getting that blue worm above, I jumped off a cliff a split second before I noticed a bright pink spherical Pokemon... Pretty sure it was a shiny Lechonk, augh! Unfortunately it wasn’t a cliff I could get back up easily, so all I could do was fast travel back to that area, but that made the ‘mons respawn, duh...
- Before taking on the Medli Gym I decided to evolve all of my starters, which meant Don Quixote deserved a new name, a reference to Sylvando of Dragon Quest 11! When I took part in my first online raid and someone brought along Quaquaval I realized he’d need a rename, lol. That sprite didn’t include the feather/lights!
- Wha-oh, the League is catching on to Penny’s hacking! Run!!
I’ll put more images from the classes under the cut!
pic 1: dec 21st: I'm so used to anime tropes I started out wondering if she was planning on make lunch for her crush, but she doesn't seem the type, honestly.
pic 2: Clive, buddy, ya gotta do that transformation in the bathrooms, or wherever you home is. (I don't /feel/ like he'd live in the school? But he's got all that research machinery, so...)
pic 3: What, you didn't pin a note to the-? Oh, right, the grounds area has multiple entrances.
pic 4: Bro, I'm only here for the Pokedex completion. But also, please fix the problem where you can't look through forms of Pokemon when you select the 'recently battled/caught' section.
pic 5: dec 22nd: First shiny in WT that doesn't have a website name! (Only second shiny, tho.) Love the pallet, but it's -Att, ew.
pic 6: I followed the sandwich creator at https://cecilbowen.github.io/pokemon-sandwich-simulator/ to help me spawn Fomantis!
pic 7: :(( They don't share...
pic 8: First full odds shiny in a while! I missed a shiny earlier in the evening, though...
pic 9: dec 25th: Don evolving into Quaquaval means it's time to rename him to a certain DQ11 character!
pic 10: dec 27th: *sweats*
So, uh, I stumbled across a BrassiusxHassel ship art before I met Hassel, so when I met him and recognized his hair shape (I exited out of the post very quickly...) I wonder why people shipped him with Brassius...
and this is definitely the reason, holy shit.
...Note to self: Look for ship art of these two later. (I mean, there’s no way they’re plot twist villains, right...?)
I swear I saw something that showed Hassel being a villain, but that crying thing... Now I’m not so sure I read that right. (I still wanna experience the story on my own, though; No spoilers!)

HPL's Poesy - An Intro:
Today, it's known that the Gooey Olde Writer actually wrote some 500+ poems! And more 'scraps' are being found thruout time & space...
HPL started writing around 6 years old & ended around 1937 - that's over 4 decades of work. But not always on poetry.
Howard's devotion to verse was widely applauded by his mom & he strove to please her.
HPL's entry into amateur journalism, in 1914, provided him with various venues for publishing his works.
Howard, the "Metrical Mechanic," wrote on various subjects, such as: amateur affairs, the topographical & seasonal, political, satires, a lot of weird poetry & to suit any occassion.
According to critics, only the satires & weird poems show any real talent. In 1916, a critic named Winfield T. Scott described a bulk of HPL's poetry as mere "18th century rubbish!" WTS only liked Howard's "The Messenger" & "Fungi From Yuggoth."
And, HPL agreed.
In 1918, Howard himself wrote out a list of his published works - judging, "What a mess of mediocre & miserable junk."
Most of HPL's poems imitate the style of Dryden, Poe & Pope - but, in heroic couplets!
In the end, HPL's weird poetry seem to serve as a way for him of try out his plots for longer stories.
By the 1920s, Howard's poems show a more stylish originality.
Then, after years of avoiding writing much poetry, HPL finished work on "The Fungi From Yuggoth" - a large, poetic cycle!
Howard's final sonnets came out in 1936, after several more years without any major poetical works.
HPL would die in 1937, leaving behind a Death Diary as his last work...

10 Anti LO Asks
1. even ignoring how silly the AOW is and how the nymphs are just fodder for persephone's "story", imagine how insulting it would be to likely end up hades' "eternal free labor" only to find out your "sister" had been living and working down in the underworld for weeks & 1) never mentioned or tried to see you and 2) made a bigger point to try and resurrect/pay for the people who KILLED YOU?? like persephone just ends up looking like she cares more about her reputation than her supposed "sisters"???
2. even ignoring the fact theyre the /same exact color/, why are we supposed to buy "the twins are zeus' kids" as some twist? rachel this is greek mythology even the most amateur fan would know it's more of a surprise if someone /isnt/ his kid. then again she wants us to buy "persephone is a fertility goddess" is a shocking twist as if she's not literally a spring and vegetation goddess?? like yeah no shit she's a fertility goddess. hades is one too as well as most deities.
3. we have panels of daphne that went through rachel's sketches (which if they were as fully rendered as she claims on instagram this wouldnt be an issue), inks, flats, colors, rachel putting in the dialogue, AND an editor looking at them and they cant keep the colors correct and straight up don't have her pointy ears and blue splotches gone. say what you will on more traditional comic and graphic novel publication, but at least you know youre getting a well produced product over this rushed mess.
4. that's honestly the thing tho? LO really is the most lazy trope-d, uninspired story if we really break it down. No tropes are subverted or shown in a creative way, plots are random and undeveloped if not dropped completely, they talk so much (!!) yet still remain so flat with little to no progression, and there is really no themes or messages beyond ... I'm not sure, poor people are bad? "Feminism" is when your world revolves around a man and female relationships are abusive? Classism is good?
5. Why does every single Eris redesign have her with long locks of feather hair? Can't a woman have a shaved head? A buzzcut? Or is that not 'feminine' enough for her fans 🙄
6. Nyx, to hades: “I had half a mind to steal you myself from your mother”
Also Nyx: *throws her actual child away to a piece of shit tyrant who is not good at all with kids*
Thank you Rachel for this great character consistency 😩
7. I'm not inherently against the idea of Hera knowing about Persephone's assault (though I'm not sure why she'd know just off touch?) however I do not understand why we're supposed to root for her going behind Persephone's back and telling it to others without her consent? Even making Hephaestus see the actual act, which is a huge breach of consent. I get it's supposed to be her helping, but it just seems like even Persephone's trauma isn't her own, it's for others to do as they please with it.
8. I hate how so many people excuse LO's poor writing and art as "that's how Webtoons are" as if they don't have countless beautifully written and drawn comics on there that get critic praise and awards without WT's massive marketing campaign behind them like they do for LO. There is a ton of talent and wonderful products on there that don't deserve to be dragged down because of LO's lacking quality having more focus. LO is the cheap fast food kiddie meal in a sea of high quality, gourmet options.
9. It honestly feels like the writing in LO is just Rachel going off overused tropes with nothing new added to it, fans comments, and thinking she's more clever than she is by doing random ideas and thinking it's "subversive". like ma'am, just listen to your editor and actually write something decent over trying to overcomplicate the story even more to make it seem more "serious" and thinking you're reinventing the wheel.
10. IDK why some of yall say Eris couldn't be a kid of Hera and Zeus (in myth) as they are the definition of a discord full relationship. Like they had the God of War and the Goddess of Bloodshed, how would discord be out of the question? Though, regardless, the only reason she's their kid in LO isn't Rachel thinking she's being "accurate" but rather needing a scapegoat for Persephone (reverse character development! RS is such a visionary) and to be like "see? all of Zeus' kids are bad!"
From OP: I wouldn’t say it’s a “all his kids are bad” thing since Hephaestus and Hebe are good. LO is just framing Zeus a a bad father in general, Eris being an exception since he had good reason to kick her out.
(I didn’t including Artemis and Apollo since he never had the chance to be their dad/involved in their lives until now.)

locked tomb ramblings
devoured gideon the ninth and harrow the ninth and i Love Everyone In This Bar
ALL OF THE SPOILERS below this line
- i’d unfortunately come across the name Ianthe a few times on tumblr, way more than any other non Gideon or Harrow name, so I knew to keep an eye out for her (in every meaning of the word, ohohoho), which spoiled the reveal about her importance a little
- knew harrow was going to be my fave at the early reveal of Baby Harrow, Age Ten, Hiding The Fact Her Parents Are Dead By Animating Their Corpses.
- that moment at the end of gtn when Corona is wailing bc Ianthe didn’t take her, and you go oh so it’s MUCH MORE incesty than merely the vibes in ianthe’s dialogue, huh
- (me, when the plot of gtn goes on and corona folds every time ianthe takes a decision: *eyes emoji*)
- the homestuck energy is off the charts, i love it. it’s so baroque and the characters are so funny and we are definitely on bad guys’ side!
- necrolord prime, please, sir, is it not enough that you are an immortal emperor with armies of necromancers deploying 15y-olds on the frontlines to keep your empire expanding? necrolord prime????? (he is awful, like the vast majority of this cast, i love him)
- OH HELLO ACT V PART 2
- the previous lyctors are ancestors, in homestuck vibes
- in homestuck vibes: bby harrow with her dead parents she moves around like puppets. that’s a lusus thing. that’s a terezi thing. (rose as a troll gets terezi things.)
- still in homestuck vibes, dearly love the fragmentary world-building and the fact that it’s all horrible (15y-olds on the frontlines!!!!), but culturally speaking it’s taken for granted. we don’t see ppl going on rants on how it’s Unhealthy or Wrong. we do get Gideon realizing it’s jarring, after all, to imagine these kids in a war! but that’s very different
- (was Cam already side-eyeing the fuck out of that. Cam and Palamedes are strong contenders for it, and Cam clearly Hides Stuff-- I presume BoE isn’t as positive as the cult of the Signless was in Homestuck, but was she already involved?)
- hi yeah the fact that 100% of the remaining Lyctors were lowkey betraying John is hilarious
- mercymorn <3 <3 <3 (i: like the shouty ones)
- bby harrow saw a woman in a box and fell in love THIS IS DEEPLY AND WEIRDLY UTENAESQUE
- john is a fantastic akio figure. his take on adulthood and what he’s peddling is very different from what akio did, but he’s the character most obviously buying into gendered roles and expectations? the way he talks about his thing with “Annabel Lee” is nothing but expected. (It’s only through what others tell us, especially Augustine, that we know there’s a lot more to it.)
- (john telling the first gideon he’d have forgiven gideon banging commander wake reads very Gender)
- the pool sceneTM
- the codependency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- gideon checking there aren’t bones booby-trapping the place she’s waiting for her shuffle and harrow spending the night before booby-trapping it better :)
- the number of times i screamed silently about kismessitude feels (harrow’s pitch soup brings all the girls to the yard?)
- *hateshipping mercy and augustine and staring right at them, daring them to say a word*
- wish i’d been more able to focus on the first part of htn instead of going wtf wtf wt
- ianthe never met a bad decision she didn’t want to take home, i’m not even disappointed or surprised or angry, either at her or at myself. ofc she was going to side with god. (probably so she can vanquish him herself later and set herself up as goddess empress, i’m sure she thinks she can fix things better that he can) (i am extremely curious about the things ianthe sees when she screams. what does she see in the river?) (i hope she lets corona save her.)
- (IANTHE LYING TO HARROW ABOUT NOT SEEING THE CORPSE THOUGH Y I K E S. Ianthe (derogatory)!!!!!!)
- absolutely loved the dream bubbles, LOVED that characters who weren’t explored/were sidelined early got their chance here!!
- nothing could have prepared me for Ortus getting a dignity and nuanced characterization and all that in htn, and i <333333333
- there’s an entire thing about the way fiction and memory and history and reality affect one another, especially in htn - it’s a malleable thing, Harrow’s memory is malleable and Ortus’ poem recalls a version of Matthis Nonius that isn’t who the man was, but how he’s remembered. “Is this how it happens?” Abigail the historian not letting Harrow get lost in alternate facts. And that reminds us to be careful of John’s version of Alecto, of BoE’s version of the facts, but also it’s beautiful. we make stories out of things and we make myth.

(no i haven't seen that post on my dash and patiently waited for u to rb it) anyway for the 35 questions thingy (i kinda want to ask u all the questions but i won't be that annoying lol) 4, 6, 9, 16, 22, 31, 32, 33, 34
OMG HI HI YOURE SO SWEET THANK YOU FOR ASKING and so sorry this is obnoxiously long and super rambly
4) @mouseymightymarvellous (i could write analysis papers on her work, like every single one of them. dont tempt me, i will), @itsthechocopuff (if you haven’t read any of their fics YOU MUST), @capriciouswrites (IF YOU HAVENT READ THEM WHAT ARE YOU DOING I'm literally OBESSED) and IncompleteSentanc on Ao3 (their writing style and their characterizations are AMAZING I LOVEEE)
6) tbh i find writing easy... until it isn’t LMAO. i try to write things i wanna read and like to write. the thing i find the hardest would be like the actual main idea/plot. for WT&R there wasn’t any real plot, it was literally just me writing what i wanted, same with Gym Rats. for my shikasaku one, its taking so much longer because of the plot and i was like “dude whats the POINT of this” you know? i just realized that this does NOT answer the question LMAO,,, point is: writing is kind of like a facet for me, you turn it on and it flows until it doesn’t.
9) Gai. like his pattern of speech fucks me UP. i’ve seen him written so many ways to where I’m just flailing LMAO. kakashi too cause the man is so complex that idk what side i wanna write from or how i should do his dialogue,,, i try my best and so far everyones been okay with it so we’ll see
16) one bed troupe (a CLASSIC), god im a WHORE for ‘stupid man falls for woman who could kill him with her pinkie’, and a total slut for ‘badass man with a strength kink’
22) my favorite songs change so often that what i listen to changes too. sometimes, ill find a song that matches the vibe of a scene and listen to it on repeat other wise i either listen to Lofi Hip Hop, or my master playlist on spotify right now my favorites are “Butterfly Rain” by Tori Templet, “Yoko Ono” (stripped, but i love the og one too) by Mob Rich and Matt Maeson, “Speaking Off The Record” by Hotel Mira (and then literally any Judah and the Lion/AJR songs)
31) so i have two groups of Ocs:
A: Characters from my book that i actually want to publish and have been slowly working on the first draft for the past year or so (two female main characters and a flying cat).
B: Ocs that i rp with DONT LAUGH LISTEN HAHAHA: two of my friends and i have some really serious, planned out rps, that are basically us writing a book together (find them here I KNOW ITS ON QUOTEV please heckle me LMAOO,, feel free to ask me more questions on any of those!) i’ll definitely have to do another post on these cause theres honestly so much i could say
32) sakura’s insane and eats a god, this is the after
33) alot of the one liners or some of my favorite scenes pop into my head when i’m half alseep or washing the dishes. its like a line of dialogue or a way or wording that i really love. so i have to wake myself up (and i have like some type of insomnia) to type this shit out in my notes or run to dry my hands while chanting the thing in my head before jotting it down. those lines are some of my favorite tbh
34) This isn’t an excerpt from a fic but from my notes when I was world building a mythology for ShikaSaku:
She is a thing of contradictions. The Goddess of Peace and War with the ability to bring forth war and yet tame violence. She is bloodied and dressed in white, a thing of opposites.

My ass finally answers anti LO anon asks:
(1) It's so petty but i kinda love seeing so fast LO seems to be taking a downward spiral. Readership going down, more and more people dropping it, more and more criticism, more people not bothering to pick it up after the hiatus, the increase of people noticing its many flaws from the many grammatical errors to flimsy plot and degrading art. It's refreshing. Took them long enough to notice it was never good to begin with.
(2) Lmao that anti LO post in the Webtoons subreddit is nearly 200+ upvotes in less than a day. That’s pretty much unheard of on that sub, and is way more traffic than the actual LO subreddit gets. Is the tide finally turning? After what seems like a century? We can only hope ...
(3) If anyone wants to see what LO originally was, please look up "oldloreolympus" on instagram, where they post all the old episodes despite legal threats from Smythe. There's currently on old ep 9 which confirmed the original plot had Persephone and Apollo as a loving couple but she removed that for the current edition. I never read the old edition, but it seems to have shown Apollo would have been selfless and broken up with her so she could be with Hades, but we just can't have that now, can we?
(4) Going off the instagram accounts, the original LO only went for NINE episodes and only had about 13k followers before given an Original spot, despite other Canvas comics having way more episodes with more engagement and followers than her work ever did. I think it's safe to say WT took a risk with her to kick off the English server (it's originally from Korea) but it's backfiring now that people are dropping it in droves and Smythe's unprofessionalism is showing more and more. Gotta love irony.
(5) Smythe can't even google right. You know how she has the "seven types of Greek love" as Aphrodite's children? Ludus isn't one of them, it'd actually be Xenia over a Latin concept, but what do we expect from someone who somehow thinks the God of War doesn't like war and Dionysus was created from a drunk one night stand at an Innocent Greece dance club (???).
___________________________________________________________
(1)+(4) I kindea like it too :P I know it is mean and bad. But I am kind of tired of such a work getting so much traction with minimum effort. Usually people on the internet are critical but two years of problematic content had to pass for most of people to understand how bad LO is.
(2) Yes, I saw it! An improvement, indeed 😂
(3) It would be better if Apollo was just an ex but she HAD to change it and make him a r*pist :// EDIT: Someone let me know that in the old comic Apollo still r*ped Persephone and then Hades took out his eye.

oh vword what’s up my pals?!!! i’m lorna, she/her, 20!!! i’m gonna introduce u to my little sweet rose colored class wearing art/english teacher in uno moment, but first lemme just say that if i can message you to plot please like this !!!!
ok so she actually did not grow grow up here, she moved here for teachers college. her family is one of those super rich, snobby types. their all a bunch of like ??? investors that no one rly knows how they even get their money they’re just rly good at playing the market
they’ve never been all too nice, they seem like they would be from the outside but it’s a very high pressure family that never has anything nice to say abt u nd it’s very damaging for a kid to grow up in!!!!!!!
when she was in college she got into PE drugs which led to other things, which led 2 alcohol it was just v bad, she became v dark and her edges were all mad sharp, she def had a problem nd what her family did 2 help quote quote quote was basically 2 outcast her nd say peace. which worked but like….. in the same way a kid cleans their room by throwing all their dirty clothes under a sheet. so ya!!! it was shitty, developed even worse attachment issues, trust issues, etc etc !!!!!
in teachers college it came up again, only it didn’t help @ all nd so they took her off the will, took away her money, nd after her brother gave her enough money 2 buy a house none of them ever spoke 2 her again!!!!!!!!!!!! nd she also ruined a relationship wt the love of her life bc of it!!! fun, super fun :)
n e ways she still struggles with it tho now it’s more of a long period without it then binges out, other than that tho her life is going great from what anyone can see!!! she’s teaching art her passion along side core english, she’s got two dog babies, she never seems to be stresst or sad!!! lmao a joke!
anyways so what’s she like u may ask???? she is…. who i wish i could be if it weren’t for all the sad stuff
she’s always been a very social nd approachable person bc that was part of her family life, like u know in older tv shows set in new york she’s that girl with a fun bright colored purse who somehow looks good in a knee length floral skirt who talks to the news vender and street bagel cart guy nd they all know her name and always give her free stuff bc she’s just so endearing nd nice
i wldnt say her way of interacting is like…. sarcastic but she is sO playful nd jocular like she likes to poke fun at ppl, it’s all very harmless
she’s very intense…. not in the serious kinda way but everything she does she really, really does it. she dives in…. without thinking a lot of the time, and she just gets really excited and falls in love with ideas the second they pop into her head
that being said she can be very stupid….. she’s very brash nd thinks almost nothing thru, she makes bad decisions at every turn, but at least she isn’t 2 full of pride to admit she’s wrong!!!!
she’s also v emotional…. very dramatic…. everything is a big deal, but it’s part of her charm, she makes everything fun
she has major major trust issues bc of her family nd it’s like…. it manifests v weird in her like she tries 2 push people away when it gets it’s worst, nd she definitely loves solitude bc it’s safer nd gets spooked v easy
bc of this relationships r…. hard for her thOUGh she 100% still tries at them bc she’s a huge hopeless romantic but unfortunately it just means she has a bunch of broken hearts behind her
she does art like painting and stuff on the side nd she’s good enough to make money off of it
she knows like 37 numbers of pie because in grade 8 some kid beat her by one number in front of the whole class and said 12 of them, so she learned 25 more of them if that tells u anything about her competitiveness :)
so ya!!!! that’s all :))) pls plot!!!
