grabbing you and shaking you bc u ars like one of three ppl who post abt the silly hello neighbor show. you are doing me specifically a great service in these trying times (being in a fandom with 0 content)
How it feels being one of the big 3 wtrb creators /j
Tumblr media
But seriously tho, thank you so much.
I've mentioned it in passing to Kaydin a lot, but Hello Neighbor was the first fandom I was a part of (even before fnaf which has arguably had a bigger impact on my life as a whole). I remember way back in 2016 when I was just a wee lad with very little internet access and the just- joy the alphas brought me. I remember waiting patiently for ANYONE to make videos on the game, for MatPat's theories on it, and so on. Hell, I remember getting so upset about the final game that I swore off Hello Neighbor forever (you can guess how well that went, heck even at the time I couldn't keep away completely from Hello Neighbor 2)
But when I was in those early fandom spaces, like a lot of young artists probably do, I wanted to be up there, wanted to be one of the artists you recognize with their content about a certain series, yknow? And it's cool that while the Hello Neighbor Fandom today is quiet, it's still active enough to share my and Kaydin's art and theories and way WAY over-analyzing.
Maybe this show will be the push this franchise needs to get it back on the water, floating with the other indie series. I mean it certainly dragged me back in.
All this to say that it's so cool getting to be one of the artists making stuff to satisfy the hyperfixation of the rest of the fandom lol. And getting this ask has legit made my week <3
(It's for my own sanity too dw, if I bottled up all this hyperfixation I'd explode, even after dragging Kaydin into it. And that's not to mention my Senior Promise (tm) I've made lmao)

i could listen all night
for @steddielovemonth prompt 'love is wanting to hear every detail of their day'
rated t | 803 words | cw: recreational drug use (weed) | tags: established relationship, stargazing, they're so in love
💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟
"And it's not even that I'm worried about failing the test!" Steve said as he leaned back against the wall of their too-small balcony. "I did a practice test yesterday and only missed one question. I just feel like it's too easy."
"I think you're just smarter than you give yourself credit for, Stevie," Eddie said as he exhaled smoke.
"I don't think that's it."
Eddie rolled his eyes fondly.
They didn't love their apartment. It was on the third floor of a three story townhome that seemed to be a revolving door of large families who couldn't make rent after a couple of months. They'd get close to someone on the first floor and they'd be evicted two months later. They'd finally have a quiet neighbor below them only to find out it was an old man who was moved to a nursing home a month after moving in.
But they at least had this balcony that faced a parking lot of some business that was empty and closed by the time they needed to smoke.
And when Steve graduated, they could move closer to whatever school he ended up working at.
"What if I don't graduate?" Steve asked quietly, reaching out for the joint Eddie had just taken a third pull off of. "What if I'm doing all this for nothing?"
Eddie turned to Steve as much as he could, covered his hand in comfort. "If anyone knows what it's like not to graduate, it's me. And it's not the end of the world. It may feel like it at first, but just because you don't do it when you think you should doesn't mean you won't ever. You're smart and you work hard, sunshine, you're gonna graduate."
"You have to say that. You're my boyfriend."
"I don't have to say anything! I told you just this morning that you were stupid if you thought I wasn't gonna wake up just to kiss you goodbye," Eddie pecked his cheek and took the join back from him.
He knew Steve got emotional if he smoked too much, and he'd already reached the glassy eye part of the high. Better to stop him now.
"Other than your professor scaring you, what happened today?" Eddie asked casually. He wanted to hear about everything, and Steve liked talking about it.
"I had the best cup of tea. The library was giving free cups to students who donated $1 to the writer's club. So I guess it wasn't really free, but still, $1 for the best cup of tea I've ever had isn't bad." Steve leaned his head on Eddie's shoulder. "I studied for an hour between classes and saw these two women making out. One was like, a lot older than the other and I'm almost certain she was a professor with a student. Don't know what that's about."
Eddie raised his brows, but stayed quiet as Steve continued.
"And then I managed to eat my sandwich after my second class. Best one you've made yet. Perfect ham to turkey ratio," Steve kissed his neck.
"Glad you liked it, sweetheart."
"Oh! And there's gonna be a student run show next Friday. I get two free tickets if you wanna go. Maybe we could make it a date night?"
"I think that sounds lovely. Write it on the fridge and I'll make sure I'm home in time to get ready for it," Eddie took one last drag from the joint before putting it out in the ash tray he grabbed from the flea market downtown when they first moved in. "Anything else today?"
"I got to sit outside and look at the stars with my boyfriend. That's been pretty nice," Steve whispered.
Eddie felt his cheeks heat up, never quite used to how easily Steve shared his love and affection. He'd been like that before they were even together, overwhelmingly honest.
"Was he good company?" Eddie teased, leaning his head on top of Steve's and looking up at the few stars they could see in the city.
"He's always good company."
Eddie kissed the top of Steve's head and settled back.
"What about your day?" Steve asked, sinking further into his side.
"My day was boring." Eddie sighed. "But we have new releases hitting the shelves tomorrow. Those days are always fun."
"Any you want?" Steve sounded tired.
It was barely eight at night, but the weed was hitting and he'd been up since five that morning going nonstop.
"Might grab this local band's demo. We're the only place carrying it and they're hoping to do a show in our basement next month, but we'll see. Brad said we had to see how the demos sell."
"Sounds like fun," Steve said.
"You wanna go inside, sweetheart?"
"Not yet. Keep talking. Wanna hear about everything."
"Mkay, baby."

Kindergarten Failure
Tumblr media
Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x f!reader
Companion piece to “Spitfire”
part of the ‘spitfire universe’
An: the jealousy fic nobody asked for!
Phoenix has been getting on Jake’s nerves. Always asking about the next time you’ll come out with the pilots. When she can come over. Why you actually don’t come out all the time. (Apparently you telling her he needed to be the prettiest wherever he is wasn’t a good enough answer) Truth is you’re not one to go out much. You keeping your bar fights to once a month was because that’s how often you went out. Sure you go out more with Jake like to dinner and things but out out is a different thing entirely.
Jake is the extrovert out of the two of you. Quite obviously. He loves being out. He thrives off the attention. He loves being in public. He also loves you and knows that you need to stay in more than he does. He respects that. He always offers to bring you places with him just in case but often you decline. If he stays out late he tries to DoorDash you some treat to make sure you know he’s thinking of you. He knows the way to your heart. He’s had it long enough.
It was Friday night once again and now that Penny was back everyone had resumed their normal routine. After a long day of work going out and getting a few beers while playing pool and darts is exactly how the dagger squad liked to unwind.
Jake had told you they were going out. He never wants you to worry where he might be. He’d also told you about Phoenix needing some more girl time. Halo is nice and all but even two girls compared to ten guys still skewed the ratio.
You hadn’t had a bad day. You were feeling pretty good so you figured why not give Phoenix what she wants so badly. You headed home after work to jump in the shower and get ready knowing the pilots were just heading straight to the bar after work. They all showered at work and you didn’t have that luxury. You threw on a cute but casual outfit and got in your car to head towards the Hard Deck.
As soon as you walk in you hear the call of your name from the pool tables and you smile and wave at Phoenix who looks practically giddy as you walk over.
“Hangman didn’t tell me you were coming!”
“Yeah well I don’t tell him everything. Gotta keep him on his toes.”
You feel a hand brush against your waist as it settles on the opposite hip pulling you into a hard body. A kiss placed on the crown of your head as you snuggle into your husband’s side.
“Well shit. Now I’m not the prettiest at this bar anymore. Guess I gotta go find a new bar,” Jake says with a chuckle.
You look up at him, “Is it hard being in second place? I wouldn’t know.”
“When first place looks this good? I’m surprised I even made second place,” he says with a wink.
You playfully roll your eyes and bump your shoulder into his side. He leans down to kiss your head once again and squeezes you once as he lets go to head towards Coyote who is standing near the darts board looking around.
“Okay so now you have to tell me all about being married to Hangman!” Phoenix says excitedly. “Is he cocky all the time? Has he always been like that? Are you late to everything because you have to drag him away from the mirror?”
You laugh, “Yes. Yes. And no if we’re ever late it’s my fault because I can’t be on time to save my life. Most often he tells me we have to be somewhere a half hour before we actually have to be there because that’s usually the only way I’ll be on time. If he had it his way we would be there the half an hour before we have to be there that he tells me. He likes to be early everywhere. All that ‘if you’re early then you’re on time. If you’re on time then you’re late.’ bullshit.”
Phoenix nods her head, “Yeah the Navy will do that to you. Do you want to grab a drink?”
“Yes please!”
You both head towards the bar and grab a drink, on your husband’s tab, then head to a high top table and sit chatting.
After some time the bar gets more crowded. More and more bodies are packed it. You catch Jake’s eye a couple times to check in with each other, you always smiling at him to let him know you’re fine and he always winking at you as he grins. This time he holds up his beer bottle and mouths “Another?” and you nod. He heads towards the bar and waits his turn patiently.
“So why did Coyote only know about you?,” Phoenix asks when you turn your attention back to her.
You shrug, “I met Javy a long time ago. Back when Jake and I were just dating. I met him first when Jake graduated from the academy and then again when they were both at Top Gun originally I had come to visit and stayed the week they graduated. Javy came to our wedding.”
“I am insulted that I wasn’t invited,” Phoenix teases.
“I didn’t know you! It was also pretty small. And rushed. Jake and I were sick of being long distance so we quickly got married so I could stay with him when he’s stateside.”
“Well I’m sure even if it was rushed it was beautiful,” Phoenix says.
You smile remembering the day, “It really was. You’ll have to come over soon and look at pictures. You’ll love the one where I smashed cake in Jake’s face.”
Phoenix grins, “Now that I have to see!”
You grin back and look over towards your husband seeing if he had made any progress at the busy bar. You raise an eyebrow as you see a woman talking to your husband. You can tell by Jake’s body language he doesn’t want to be in the conversation but the woman doesn’t seem to get the memo.
“So we going to handle that or let him flounder for a minute,” Phoenix asks.
You chuckle, “Give it a minute. If she continues then I guess it’s time to party.”
Phoenix nods and you both continue to watch the scene unfold.
The woman takes her hand and places it on Jake’s chest. His hands immediately go up in surrender.
You’re on your feet in an instant pushing your way through the crowd.
You come up behind Jake wrapping an arm around his waist and shoving the woman’s hand off his chest, “Hi. Did you fail kindergarten? You don’t touch things that aren’t yours. Thanks.”
The woman smirks at you pulling her hand back, “You sure you didn’t fail? Sharing is caring. You weren’t here. Clearly your man was lonely. I’m more than happy to keep him company.”
Jake whistles lowly and says to you, “You promised once a month.”
“I know what I promised but that was before this,” you hiss back at him.
“Trouble in paradise? I can promise you, sweetheart, that I will never be a problem. I can be so good for you,” the woman says towards Jake.
Jake chuckles and looks back towards the woman, “I’m sorry for your loss.”
The woman looks confused, “My loss? What do you mean?”
You smile and side step away from Jake, “He means this.” Your hand shoots up to the back of the woman’s head as you grip her hair tightly and pull her head back. “You’re going to leave this bar and you’re never coming back here. You’ll regret it if you do. Now we are going to walk nicely outside and you’re going to leave.”
The woman winces, “Okay!”
You pull her along towards the door then shove her outside.
“Fucking bitch!” the woman says as she stumbles outside.
“You’ll be smart to remember that!” You call as you watch her walk to her car then turn around heading back inside.
You see Jake at the bar holding your drink which he hands to you when you reach him. He uses his now free hand to pull you towards him then wraps his arm around you.
“Anyone ever tell you you’re possessive?” Jake asks with a chuckle.
“Anyone ever tell you to shut up?” You quip back.
“Every goddamn day of my life.”

Chapter 200 Trivia (Part 1)
Tumblr media
The Perseus is back!
There is oil in the Amazon, but the main sources of it are upstream of Manaus and northeastern Argentina, accounting for ~1.12% of current worldwide shares. I'm not sure whether or not this is accessible to the KoS right now, but Chelsea's statement seems incorrect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Compared to "future energies" such as solar and wind power, biofuel is a little more controversial due to its industrial sources, deforestation, and the fact it can still pollute like a fossil fuel when burnt. It isn't as bad fossil fuels though, biogas burns cleaner.
Senku struggles to lift heavy objects, but then raises the contents of the outhouse above his head…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Biofuel is made basically exactly as Senku says, by mixing any organic waste products together and letting it ferment (anaerobic digestion if you want to be technical), then collecting the gas as energy and using the leftover solids as fertiliser.
Tumblr media
If that explanation is still confusing, the whole process is basically like how your body works: you eat food, your stomach digests it and absorbs the energy, then any waste product is disposed of.
The only difference is there's no real body to fuel, you simply store the energy.
Tumblr media
Since the biofuel is a gas, it needs to be converted to a liquid for transportation and use in engines. This is what the Fischer–Tropsch process is for.
The process itself involves fixing the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio, then applying heat and pressure to get liquid fuel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The spherical gas container is called a Horton sphere, and what Senku says is correct, so the only thing missing is a video because everyone loves explosions.
Tumblr media
This is a oxyhydrogen torch which is normally used for small-scale welding jobs as it's safer and more economical to use than gas torches.
You can also make them yourself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Has Chrome's science-using officially leveled up? He's been working with Xeno while Senku works with Suika. The science mentor/mentee parallel here is really nice!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Inconel is actually a family of superalloys of oxidation-corrosion-resistant materials that are also very strong and very good at holding up to high temperatures. As such, it tends to be used in extreme environments like space.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"It's just a rock" is a common theme in Dr. Stone, but it matches the series extremely well. A single rock can't do much on its own, but with a little work and some team-ups, that rock can go to space :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since the calendar is between Chrome saying "half a year" and what looks like a time skip sequence, I think the date of April 5750 is somewhere in the middle rather than on either end, which isn't very helpful for a specific timeline.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This timeskip mimics the one in chapter 99 while they made the old Perseus, but is a lot shorter to add in the team and farewell portion of chapter 100.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like last time, Ryusui helps with the design, Kaseki does the crafting (the part he's working on is the prow), while everyone else collects materials.
We also get the South American KoS flag, incorporating the spaceship with the concentric diamonds!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The engine here is a jet engine, Most commonly used in airplanes but have other uses as well. For this, the engine is usually used to generate electricity which then powers other things, such as boat propellers attached to electric motors.

sept+ oct media roundup
hi again :3 this month in september i was really busy with school so busy that i didnt make a media post for a whole month!!!! lol and also ive been getting back into FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER grind lmfaooo so i wasnt really on that #mediagrind as much as i could be… but i still have some things to talk about :3 by sakshis (@.lilquill) suggestion, im also talking a bit about the music ive been listening to! this is also being crossposted onto my extremely barebones neocities
books/comics:
paladins strength by t kingfisher: m/m romance about a coroner and another former paladin! still psrt of the saint of steel series. i thought it was, once again really charming and grounded! also it involves a death room and i love those. the authors idea of 'these two characters are hiding something from each other' feels a little bit more contrived this time on pipers end, but i still had fun :3
home comforts: the art and science of keeping house by cheryl mendelson: nonfiction instructional manual on how to do various homemaking activities: cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. ok ngl i got this book bc a book i was reading about 27/7 service..? was like "if you have never cared about housekeeping before this ones pretty useful." bc of various life and medical issues, the house i grew up in never really cared much about this kind of thing, except for cooking and self sufficiency. home comfort was written by a full time lawyer who was raised w the idea that she would grow up to be a stay at home wife, which i think is pretty interesting! it manages not to fall into tradwife ideas (imo?) by reframing these tasks as like.. a cyclical, rhythmic kind of self care that serve to make your home feel more safe and cozy. kind of like the marie kondo idea that folding all your clothes by hand puts like intent into your them; not practical for everybody, but sometimes a nice idea! also has a bunch of practical stuff, much of which is not particularly useful if you live in a college dorm. this book made me make my bed more often lol. i wish it had an updated section about tech (especially cord management)
the maid by nita prose (dnf): thriller about a (strongly autistic coded) maid who gets caught up in a murder at her hotel. i dont know i feel like i could have powered through this, but the way that the maids autism, and the way she interprets situations vs how the audience interprets situations is either played for pathos or laughs (its sometimes hard to tell which) rubbed me the wrong way. her life just… sucks? so bad? i feel like other people reading it may find some validating representation, and the voice is certainly interesting and brisk.
lolita by nabokov: doesnt really need much of an introduction. not going to lie, i read this bc i like nabokov but also to silently feel superior to all of the discourse girlies on tumblr. i did enjoy it though! in a way, at least? it's definitely a novel that can only be taken in small bites. i feel like a lot of the wordplay went over my head, and i'm not sure how much of that is due to me not knowing french and how much of it is due to the english language evolving so much after publication (and how much of it is just my own lack of knowledge. close reading is not really one of my strongest suits) . i was relieved to find that people call it funny, because it honestly was at some points. its really interesting when people can balance revulsion and humor and sick fascination, but that ratio is a pretty personal thing
she who became the sun by shelley parker chan: a retelling of the rebellion against the yuan dynasty, except the future ming emperor is a woman instead; part 1 of a duology. i really liked it! i liked the idea of like ummm sort of the two genders being Agency and No Agency. i thought baoxiang was pretty great love a fruity queerbaiting bureaucrat. thought it was pretty interesting that he continually tried to assert the importance of his own work and also worked really hard despite the fact that approval was obvioiusly never going to happen--so was it really that kind of futile endeavor, or for other ends….?! ooh so mystrious very excited to see him feature more in the second book. (spoilers for the book) some scenes that especially stood out were actually with some of the side characters! such as the mayors wife :3 the climactic scene with ouyang and esen was very delicious
he who drowned the world by shelley parker chan: sequel to she who became the sun! zhu yuanzhang has clawed her way up to her very own army and the yuans power has been destabilized, but everyone else is still racing for the crown. dude. i liked this book so freaking much. sooooo freaking cool it expands on a lot of the ideas and i also liked the development of the yingzi/yuanzhang relationship. additionally it managed to display the kind of like. trans horniness that (DISCLAIMER: I DONT FUCK) i dont really see in a lot of published books.. pretty cool! reminded me of when i went to a burlesque show and saw a woman (medical horror cwwww?) stick a needle through her hand lol. fantastically well balanced cast. do you think about the EROTICISM OF VIOLENCE? and GENDER ROLES? please read this book it made me so stressed. i really believe that at the end of the book baoxiang becomes a stay at home prisoner war
an unkindness of ghosts by rivers solomon: scifi about "exploring the conjunction between structural racism and generation ships" where medic aster uncovers a grand conspiracy! i thought the world building was reallyyy fun ship that has Been Voyaging Forever is an old and good trope, and this book goes hey but class and race will still exist though. to the point of like um recreating plantation dynamics i think? very anti utopian in a way i enjoyed. the mix of advanced scifi stuff and also having no resources was interesting :3 i liked giselle and theo a lot, and pretty much all the supporting (+sympathetic) characters besides aster? who took a lot longer for me to warm up to--shes definitely given a lot of nuance and life, but i think overly literal autistic/coded characters are a bit cringe..? im sure it meant a lot to someone (esp having a black autistic char?) just not me personally. oh but i really enjoyed the difference in voice between all the povs they were really distinct and fun. also aster and giselles rship! i think it would have been nice to have more intense moments, but thats also a personal preference for dramatics kind of thing--a lot gets glossed over in a 'past trauma' kind of way.. neil is right that i mostly have been reading books that blast you though lol. i really liked the scene at the end though like wow.. returning to the earth.. that was really good honestly. the stuff about archives and memory keeping was interesting --there was definitely like a thread through but i wouldn't have caught it w/out leo mentioning it. something about multiple interpretations..? something about history being passed from person to person rather than through physical means….?? its a strong debut i think :3 felt kinda movielike in an interesting way. rlly wish theyd went into The Gender more although i guess it mostly wasnt about that yeah and i wish the ending had more to do w like. her doctor stuff lmfao it was a little disconnected
video games:
13 sentinels: 13 teens intertwined stories come together in a story about love, mechs, and every scifi trope in the universe. also, the past and the future! the background art is sooo gorgeous i think my usual attention span for visual novels was increased significantly just by being able to walk around while dialogue was playing… if you have a low tolerance for heterosexual "pair the spares" type behavior, this may not be for you--i really liked some of the romances though, like with fuyusaka and sekigahara.. i liked the themes of like. idk you can try to relive the past, but all itll do is stall you from moving forward--we can examine past mistakes but we cant ever get a 'redo.' alsooo people were haters about the battle segments but i played it all on hard and really enjoyed it. tbh anyways would recommend!
boyfriend dungeon: dungeon crawler where you can date your weapons. well i 100%d this (except for the whip) but for all of the gameplay bits i was mostly thinking "man i wish i was playing hades". probably not a fair comparison, but it does lack some polish in that department, and overall. all the same, i enjoyed this game! it has a nice soundtrack and art, and i thought some of the love interests were pretty charming :3 also appreciated the flexibility in love routes. it really got a bad rap from the stalker plot huh…pretty solid game and worth playing if the initial concept grabs you. i did borrow neils copy though
hades: after beating bf dungeon i immediately redownloaded hades lmfao. sooo good theres not a lot to say about it. still havent managed to beat the final boss even after all this time bc im too stubborn to turn on godmode >:T
dave the diver: casual sort of dungeon crawler, except instead of killling monsters you catch fish for your sushi restaurant, which you also run. dave the diver stacks on a bunch of mechanics in a way thats… surprisingly manageable? and really charming honestly. im having a lot of fun with it :3 a few awkward boss fights that werent really that fun (and stealth segments..my enemy) havent gotten in the way of like all the rest of it i loooove exploring the ocean and finding new ways to get fish and all of the gorgeous pixel art and also the FALL GUYS GUY is doing the OST. this game is blowing up a little bit rn but honestly for good reason. such a good gameplay loop that also adds in variety over time
manga:
hirayasumi: slice of life about a part-timer working in tokyo who inherits an old womans house--its all about slowing down and enjoying the pace of life--and also how hard that actually is. dude hirayasumi is sooo fucking good im always trying to get people to read this manga i think its adorable and also beautiful and bittersweet. its about growing out of your 20s and the friends around you who are moving up or moving on or even just stuck in place. super awesome
ao no flag: romance coming of age w lgbt themes. a timid high school girl is trying to work up the courage to confess to her crush, and enlists the help of her crush's childhood friend to do it. the mixed-up shenanigans of adolescence ensue. man you know i really love the art for this manga (faces and expressions! so good!) and i think all the characters are really compelling! the trio just have such a cute dynamic and like all of the waffling over feelings honestly feels real. the ending was really disappointing though honestly. still worth a read imo but prepare to be mad. ok here is my longer rant about it (spoilers) ughhh ok its like. initially i thought masumi getting a boyfriend was SO fucking disappointing. especially given that she kinda got the least focus out of the main 4? some reddit comments were like "maybe her boyfriend is trans" but i think that something like that would be……….really complicated honestly? and something that id really want to have explored more outside of just a singular epilogue chapter? and i dont think the implications were that strong there. and given that it would have been good to see more indications that they were actually happy together bc its like the first thing you think when you see her is "oh, she gave up" WHICH IS SO FUCKING DEPRESSING AUGH and she never even confessed to futaba :| futaba and taichi breaking up makes a lot of sense and im like, whatever not really going to object to that esp bc the whole theme is like youthful love. but then on the SAME SIDE OF THE COIN its like it makes no sense for taichi and touma to get together either then!!!!!!!!!!!!! like what a copout. it kinda breaks the whole original premise. AND it feels like its just (whats that word thats like playing to? favoring?) fujos reading the comic and all those ppl are like the girl should DIE for getting in the way of my two gayboys. and aslo the convo with kensuke and the other girls and especially that other guy really felt like i was reading a reddit thread. or like some of the most frustrating conversations that ive had and overheard. like hmm i sort of get what it was trying to say. and i agree that peoples frustration and idea of whats 'right' usually isnt the best rhetoric.. and above all sometimes youre not focusing on your ideas of correctness Or proper rhetoric but having an honest and open communication? but its likeeee well i kinda dont care? sorry
nana: coming of ageish? nana, a flighty girl who's quick to fall in love, and nana, a tough rocker trying to make it big in the city, coincidentally become roommates, and become fast friends despite their disparate lives/personalities. this one is one of the classics! i still havent finished it yet (its also unfinished) but idk i really like it. always fond of flop women like hachi lmfao. the older art style did take a bit to get used to for me
i want to hold aono kun so bad i could die: horror manga about a high school girl who gets her first boyfriend--who then dies only a couple days afterwards. yuki kariya is willing to do anything to make sure aono stays with her, even letting her possess her body. but should the dead and the living really be so closely intertwined? ok the art in the first couple volumes may be a little offputting but this is REALLY good ok. and it has some really chilling panels that i love a lot. aono kun begins with the pretty classic "awkward loner girl x popular boy", but it quickly starts getting into ideas about like…. purity and "the filthiness of desire" and stuff like that. recently has been getting more into why the characters are the way they are? in some uh, really chilling and realistic depictions of abuse within a family. check the cws but mr chainsaw man recommended this manga so you should read it too.
movies/tv:
skibidi toilet: humor/action webseries?? ok so its about this war between the skibidis and the cameraheads, which escalates in technology over time as the cameraheads bring in other objecthead allies and the skibidis grow stronger. me and neil and alena watched all compiled 40 minutes of this in a straight shot, which was kind of like frying our brains in a microwave. kind of like those stickfight videos for a cocomelon generation, the relentless pacing will suck you in kinda like…. a skibidi toilet…. really well made imo but probably only worth watching if you really like cool fights and/or gmod
the shining: prestige? slash? horror a father and his family take care of a hotel only to find out things are FUCKED.. i really didnt know what this was about besides the here's johnny scene before i watched it :3 pretty crazy it really just is a good movie. sucks that the filming was so terrible though
fight club: ok so to me this movie is about colelctive action and gay people. like they had so many people mobilized for radical action and whatever and all they did was blow up a bank. LAME! anyways i really liked it a lot despite the everything. ive been entering my film bro era with neil i hope we watch pulp fiction next <3
music:
this is a couple albums ive been listening to over the past couple months!
THE CLOD(瓦合) by no party for cao dong: taiwanese post rock. im a big fan of this band so i listened to a bunch of the album tracks as they released!! like the first album, each track flows together into a coherent whole, and it retains the upbeat despondency from the servile. however, it feels like theyve also been more willing to branch out musically! especially with tracks like damn and daydream. overall, the album has a grittier, grungier feeling as well. also i know more chinese so i can sing along a bit now :3 (also, their lyric translations are always so good?) a few highlight tracks for me are lie (床) and the human the hole and the mountain. (人洞山).
CRAWLER by idles: british "crankwave", whatever that means. idles is also a band that i really like :3 sometimes i try and listen to other things in its genre and im like well…. this isnt idles though… sorry.. i like things that are the same forever…. i listen to this music a lot when im cleaning haha. it has such a feeling of overwhelm and tearing through rock bottom thats very satisfying! crawling hurts but it works for me and so on. with crawler and the clod both, every time i listen i have a couple favorite new tracks but rn i like the end and progress.
UMURANGI GENERATION OST primarily by adolf nomura: jungle music for a photography-based game (umurangi means "red sky" in te reo). i mostly end up listening to the tutorial + mauao view tracks. well….. i have a huge jungle music bias. unfortunately. but i think a lot of this music really captures the sort of "flow" feeling that you get when working on something creative! this game has an incredible sense of atmosphere i would really recommend checking it out. highlight tracks are swears in ps1 and BEAT THE POLICE
SCALES by king isis: indie pop. i saw them perform live at a concert this august!! so freaking cool :3 to me has all of the self indulgent sadness and rich vocals of an early mitski track but ALSO is an ''indie gem''' (this is their debut album). songs are fun to sing along to :3 my favorite songs from her are 4 leaf clover and im fine thx for asking! but apparently their new mv has sexy vampires in it so maybe go check it out?
as always if you read (or skimmed) to the end, thanks :3

I’m so sorry you’re sick and hope you get better very soon - like now! But in the meantime, spicy tuna rice roll??? 😳😳😳 that sounds amazing. If it’s a secret, don’t worry, but recipe please? 😳😳😳
Thank you so much!! I've been drinking so much tea, you have no idea I ain't letting this virus get comfy 😡 ALSO YES OMFG PLEASE ASK ME FOR RECIPES OMFG my weakness I tremble in excitement because I love sharing recipes JFJADSJF
Okay so ommg for the spicy tuna roll you will need (it makes between 2 or 3 rolls depending on how thick you fill it):
1 can of natural tuna
1 coffee cup of sushi rice
Buldak hot sauce (but I'm sure you can use your favourite hot sauce of choice as well, I've only been making it with the buldak one though)
mayonnaise
salt & pepper to taste
sushi nori sheets (leaves? idk how to say that lol)
some sesame oil to "close" the roll
Utensils:
spoons for mixing
bowls for mixing
your rice cooking method of choice (for me and my no-rice-cooker-owning butt, it is a good old stainless steel pot rip)
a bamboo sushi mat for rolling (for alternatives please tell me in the comments, I bought like a 2€ sushi bamboo mat so I never really thought about alternatives before jsjjs)
a cutting board
a very sharp knife
plate for serving (or like a tupperware container if you wanna take it somewhere)
How to make:
Cook the rice until it is done and yummy
Let the rice cool as you prepare the tuna
Drain the tuna and then put it into a bowl
Mix it with the mayo, hot sauce, salt & pepper until it tastes yummy to you (hahah listen I'm so bad with correct measurements because I'm such a "it has to taste yummy, you'll get there eventually just cook with your heart" kinda cook)
The end consistency of the tuna should be nice and creamy with a good amount of spice and savouriness (that's a word now, okay?)
Then you can either start assembling the roll by laying out a nori sheet on a bamboo mat & spreading the rice on it so it looks like this & then on top of the rice spread the creamy tuna & roll it up
Or of you wanna do it like me and assure an even more mixed tuna to rice ratio -> mix the tuna with the rice before assembling, so it becomes one yummy goodness. Then assemble the roll so it looks like on the picture. Once the rice is spread evenly, start rolling
Begin rolling from the part closer to you -> meaning: roll upwards to the part where more nori sheet is visible
Once the rolling is finished (no matter which option you went with), you can put a thin layer of sesame oil on the end of the nori sheet so it sticks to itself and therefore the roll doesn't open again
Wet a very sharp!! knife with a little sesame oil and very gently!!! cut the tuna roll into bite sized sushi pieces. The knife should practically glide through the roll, so seriously make sure that the blade is sharp (and be careful not to cut yourself <3)
Plate it prettily and enjoy <3
Lazy version (which I never tried up until now but can see myself making if I'm like "nah i just wanna eat")
prepare the rice & tuna like in the recipe above
cut your nori sheet into bite sized pieces
scoop up the tuna-rice-mixture with a nori piece and shove it into your mouth
chew, chew, chew
enjoy hahahah lazy version because sometimes we just wanna eat without working too much

Food is Fuel.
We all know that food is an essential part of life, but just how important is it really? In this blog we will be discussing macros, and calories, all because nutrition is the first leading factor to your results and physical well-being...
What are macro nutrients and why are they important? They are nutrients used in large amounts used by the body in order to perform it's daily tasks. In these sub groups, we can find protein, carbohydrates and fats. With various misconceptions concerning these essential nutrients, I would like to clear up misinformation.
I think that the most common one talked about amongst the three, especially in the fitness world would be protein. Okay, but why do we talk about protein, what does it really do... Also explained in Biology, proteins are used in order to create new cells during the process of mitosis, and to repair damaged cells, which is exactly what happens when exercising. The muscle fibers are torn and then fixed with the protein we ingest. All of this to say that if you want to get "bigger muscles" eat your protein.
Tumblr media
I typically aim for my bodyweight in protein grams as a daily goal so for me around 130 grams. However, it is very important to know that grams of protein, and calories don't only come from food. All food is calories, yet not all calories come from food... You see, almost all things we consume contain calories, that amount just varies based on the item in question, besides water, or specialized drinks (coke zero, diet pepsi, etc..). Therefore, when we drink juice, add dressing to our salad or add olive oil into a skillet, those are also calories, simply in liquid form, which are the sneakiest kinds of calories. For as good as "budget friendly" could get with protein... Here are some of my favourite "somewhat" budget friendly high protein foods and meals;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cottage cheese; Personally, after basically force feeding myself to eat cottage cheese over the last year, I think that I have just learnt to enjoy it and I find it easier on the stomach compared to other protein sources. Yet many people seem to not like cottage cheese, perhaps trying to add some honey on it, I have heard was good from others, and some say they enjoy mustard.
Low fat greek yogourt; Another food that some people have troubles with would be low fat greek yogourt. I know for myself this is the case, to me it is the sour after taste, and the texture I think. I enjoy making frozen yogourt however to solve the texture problem. Although higher on the price range, in my experience, there are always atleast one pack on sale.
Chicken breast; The canned ones from costco are affordable and to me not that bad for canned chicken. I have made so may things with this product, such as chicken salad for sandwiches and wraps, butter chicken, chicken pasta and buffalo chicken wraps...
Rotisserie chicken; If canned chicken is not for you, we also buy the Whole Rotisserie Costco Chicken's. For only 8$, the whole chicken will last me, my mom and brother a whole week being used in various meals...
Turkey; Simply turkey no name lunch meat, and even lunch meat variety packs in bulk at costco, yet still available at every grocery store, are great sources of lean protein.
Robert Irvine's protein bars; Best protein bars in terms of taste for sure, having tried so many.
Premier Protein shake, or protein milk and Fairlife (when on sale); My go-to protein packed drinks, that are portable perfect for student life-syle.
EGGS! Specifically egg whites, but I am not that picky; I don't LOVE eggs however awesome and easy source of protein, the calories to protein ratio is great. I like mine "sunny side up" or "scrambled" with ketchup. Deviled eggs are also nice when I have some time to make them. On the other hand fats and carbs are commonly words that scare a lot of people, especially those wanting to lose weight, and to be honest I was one of those people once. However, carbs and fats are your primary source of energy. Carbs being used for quick and rapid acting energy, such as cardio. Yet fats are used for long term energy stock as well as absorption necessary for a healthy body. In order to do the things you love, to talk to your friends and family, perform any physical activity, and to use your brain to its full potential, fats and carbs are NEEDED. I used to track my carbs and fats, but I don't find that necessary anymore... Simply being conscious of their importance and incorporating them in my diet, is now enough for me; intuitive eating. Here are my favourite carb and fat sources;
Whole wheat pasta
English muffins
Fresh fruits
Vegetables
Oats
Cheerios honestly
Oatmeal
Salmon again
Nuts such as cashews, walnuts, peanuts, peanut butter
Avocado
So let this be your daily reminder to go eat your food, some REAL food, and stay conscious about your macro nutrients based on your goal's needs. Eating intuitively is the best way to maintain a good relationship with food while dieting, in my experience!

I feel like doing a silly interview of myself so I'm just going to straight up answer these lmao
Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
i wrote mpreg, it's Red, it's bad, i mean the writing is great, lots of emotions but holy shit i don't even like mpreg but i did it for an omegaverse, it just fit, for the record he has twins
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
idk usually when green is upset about his parents, or when they finally work out their issues
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
Anytime Green/Rai/Leon get together and drink
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
literally all the time, in ode to my soulmate, it was originally going to end after they got together, none of the angst (or the failed attempt at a cliffhanger lmao)
✍ Do you have a beta reader?
I typically don't have use one, but occasionally will ask my homies to take a look, there are a couple i'm working on that i'm worried are too technical so those will need betas to make sure it's understandable by a layman
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
Green is rich, Red can't cook, there are certain phrases i use a lot, almost always have some kind of star gazing trope (at least in the longer fics)
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
skfdhsdfhj blood bank or under the alolan sun, but the wild parts aren't published yet?? Or maybe the ones i haven't published idk
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
i have a nice ass, i'm great at world building, compliment for me and my writing ^_^
💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?
Love them, but love first time fics more
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
most of the time, christmas music,
🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?
docs, i switch between my phone and computer a lot,
⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?
Only one, i was trying to do too much, my writing skills weren't back up to par yet, i think it helped me get to where i am now, the plot was too much, idk, i might steal a scene or two for other fics, but i'm not going to spend any time trying to improve the writing or plot. There are a bunch that i started a while ago and haven't touched in months, but i'll head back to them eventually, i have to be in the ~mood~ to work on a fic
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
Yeah, multiple people know, but they don't know my username
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
ummm that's published, under the alolan sun maybe? or maybe Lost, that's not published, single riders will be paired (coming sometime next year lmao it's a high school au super cute i'm really nice to green in it, red is a shy mute kid with no friends who ends up getting stuck on a roller coaster ride with green who is the most popular boy in school, green's actually super nice and the rest of the day kinda turns into a date, they go to school and red's like oh he's gonna be mean but he's not and it's really cute and sweet, and red gets accepted into the group and lajfdl;sjdf)
🍷 Do you drink and write?
yeah and then end up scrapping everything lol,
🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what's your most popular nsfw fic?
yes, i'm still working on improving my skills, but most hits/kudos ratio (let's be honest someone can do kudos once and read 15 times so not the best metric but what else do we have), is make you feel my love, but i'm working on one that will be published by valentines day where green gives red head in his neochamp outfit
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?
all day? When the adderall hits? idk it's really just when i have time, when i have my kid i really only get to at night when she goes to bed, but on her dad's weeks i write after work.
💖 What made you start writing?
i wanted to read stories that weren't written, i have lots of aus bouncing around in my head
💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?
dopamine hit
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
ummmmm idk, used to be mpreg, but that ship sailed, i don't really love poly romance, i like the smut but am not really interested in writing it as a romance
💲 Would you ever open commissions?
no, i found that i do my best writing when i want to, which is why wips take forever for me to finish because i bounce from idea to idea as i feel like it
🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?
not really...I'll google a fact or two, i mean unless you count game time or reading the manga, but like googling little details not so much.
🏆 What's your most popular fic?
gonna do for reguri, when the wind stole my walls, i never felt less alone; it's my longest finished fic
🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?
yesh, i really liked Lost, and Auld Lang Syne, but also i threw in a couple Christmas themed chapters to Under the Alolan Sun, which was fun
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
ugh yes, lmao, blood bank, they didn't guess the exact details but the general idea, i was like oh shit i'm glad they picked up on the crumbs i threw lmao
🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?
Always an honor! I might even make some one day, if my art ever improves enough for me to feel comfortable tagging it lmao
📈 How many fics do you have?
37 on ao3! I'm not going to include the ones on ff.net cause i can't remember my username, i have 50 open works (some as basic as an outline, some have 20k+ words) sitting in my docs that haven't been published
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
Depends, usually outline, i typically start writing then add an outline later,
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
This one i stared on a while ago, the actual writing needs a lot of edits but i'm obsessed with the plot, after Green loses he flees to Kalos, changes his name to Blue and becomes the champion there, everything is great until Red randomly shows up to learn how to mega evolve his charizard, Red obvs knows who he is, they deal with things, red can't mega evolve at first, it's fun orrrr my hs au that i mentioned earlier, or the ones where green becomes a coordinator, either after losing or instead of battling, in 2024 i'm releasing more pokespe works and branching out on some of the ship stuff, gonna publish a few silver/gold, lance/cynthia, and a few others,
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
Just keep writing, not everything will be amazing, but everything can be edited and rewriten
💞 Who's your comfort character?
Green oak i like to see him cry <3
🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
Red: He can't cook to save his life
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
Green, duh
🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
Green loses his memories after an accident during a battle
Red felt a tap on his shoulder, who would be bothering him this late? He turned to none other than the person he had been avoiding.
Green smiled up at Red. Red looked around for an exit.
“You’ve been avoiding me.” He stated flatly, a finger poking Red’s chest.
“Maybe.” Red said, looking away. He attempted to make eye contact with any of his pokemon to get them to create a distraction.
“It’s okay, I know why.” Green said, Red stuck his hands in his pockets and looked down at the ground. 
Instead of retreating, Green got closer right inside of Red’s personal space. He placed his hands on Red’s chest. Red was suddenly worried Green was going to push him. Was he angry? He wouldn’t have had any memories of the championship would he? Maybe he read up on it? Red knew he was physically stronger than Green, but Green had been hurt recently, and he really didn’t want to have to get into a fight with him tonight.
“I may not remember all of the events that took place to get us here, but there’s no way I could forget these feelings.” And with that Green crossed the short distance and pressed his lips to Red’s. 
Wait, what?!
Green pulled away and looked up at Red through his long eyelashes. He leaned up and pressed another chaste kiss to Red’s lips. 
“Sorry Red, I don’t remember anything about you except for how much I love you. I look at you and I get the warmest most wonderful feeling in my chest. I feel like I’m flying on the clouds when I think about you. I love you Red.” Green wrapped his arms around Red’s waist and laid his head against his chest. 
😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?
My omegaverse mpreg red one, that's not even published lol (may not ever be published hahaa)
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?
probably kudos and hits, but really it's if i go back and reread it over and over again, everything i write is self indulgent so
✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?
i can't think if it, but there's little phrases or hcs that pop up in a ton of them
📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?
nope i do it for fun, if it became a job it wouldn't be fun anymore, although i am published it's technical accounting writing, and i do eventually plan on getting my phd once princess is older, so maybe? But that writing is research not fiction lol
⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?
I'm a ridiculously fast typer, 34 words per minute is my average, 10k is a typical length, but my achilles heel is that i skip around a ton from fic to fic, so it may take months to get a fic done even though it's only 12k words
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
I suck at writing battles, working on improving my smut skills though!
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?
Yes, cried writing ode to my soulmate, Lost (cried a bunch on that one and ended up calling my cousin and we talked for a few hours because i miss him), then this one break up fic called RIP that i'm not sure how it's going to end, i usually write a happy ending but i might leave them broken up idk
💥 How do you feel about criticism?
I don't handle it well, i don't like it, it makes me not want to write even if it has good intentions, sometimes i'll read wips that stopped posting years ago, and i'll check out the comments on the last chapter and i'll see criticism and it pisses me off cause i think, 'hm did the author give up because of this shitty comment??'
🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?
I am so bad at tagging, like minimal tagging, i tag triggers but the rest i suck at, i don't do any of the cutesy ones
🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?
Friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ear, please do this. i will happily write out a writers commentary of my fics, or maybe if my voice wasn't so annoying i'd make a video with a dramatic reading and a dvd style commentary

I'm at the annual Vore Day convention, meeting food and eating friends! It's been a fun day so far, plenty of delicious preys to eat. They get so shy and blushy when they're finally face-to-face with a pred, it's adorable! It helps that the prey-to-pred ratio is so skewed; all these prey are desperate to find a pred!
The convention is winding down now; the sun is setting, and people are going home. But there's enough time for one last meal, maybe even one I can bring home with me. I sure hope so; the prey I've spotted (I know they're prey by their colored wristband) is exactly my type: A little bunny, and a cute one at that!
I wait for them to finish their conversation with another prey, then I approach, flashing the predatory grin I've been practicing all day. "Hey there little bunny, would you mind being my last snack this evening~?"
The bunny flashes a grin right back. "Snack? Please, I'm tasty enough to be a dessert! Sure you've got room for me, big bad wolf~?"
Whoa. The bunny's bravado throws off my game for a second. "... Damn, you've got some energy! This is usually the part where my prey shrivels up and turns into a blushy mess."
"Oh? I hope I'm not making you lose your appetite when you've got a delicious rabbit right in front of you~"
"Nah, not at all. I like your style! You've got me really looking forward to this now~"
"Then let's see if your stomach is as big as your mouth~"
Alright then! I reach forward, and then the rabbit surprises me yet again by jumping up into my grasp! I skip my usual stalling and build-up and instead open my mouth and feed them right inside. They shift around inside, nuzzling and rubbing against my tongue, and they really do taste delicious! I gotta ask them what shampoo they use, 'cause this is great! I give them a good tongue lashing, licking all over their fur and pressing them into my cheeks, and they respond in kind by rubbing themself all over my tongue and even giving it some love with their hands.
I've never had such an active prey before! They're usually pretty limp and passive, which is fine by me, and I've even had my fair share of strugglers and squirmers. But this isn't just random struggling or thrashing, they're really taking an active role in this! I like it!
Then they start poking at the back of my mouth, and I get the message; we've had enough mawplay, time for the next part. I give their tasty fur one last lick, then *GULP* them down into my throat. They start wiggling around in there, trying to dive deep, but I put a hand under the bulge in my throat to stop them; I like to draw this part out looong and slooow~ They get the message, calming down and settling for nuzzles and rubs.
I move my hand down slowly, controlling their descent as I drop them further with each big *GULP*. They go deeper and deeper, until one last gulp pulls them into my stomach. The restraint they showed in my throat is gone, and they squirm and wiggle and rub my stomach walls! They're so energetic that I'm actually getting worn out. Hard to keep up with this rabbit, but I manage. When they give a good, firm nuzzle against my belly, I press a hand into them. "Well? Big enough for ya, you tasty rabbit?"
"I'd say so," they say, nuzzling against my hand from inside. "You certainly don't disappoint!"
"Neither do you! Heck, I'd say you're the best prey I've had all day!"
"Heh, yeah, I try my best."
"What about me? Am I the top pred you've had here, or is there someone I need to challenge to an eating contest?"
"Sorry to say, but you're the ONLY pred I've had here. With so many prey, all the preds I found picked more mild-mannered meals. They couldn't handle a treat as spicy as me."
"Psh, their loss."
"But I gotta say, you're a grade-A pred. That was some good voring, and this belly is nice."
"In that case, what do you say 'bout spending the night in there? I was hoping I could snag a to-go meal to enjoy at home~"
"That's not how to-go meals work, silly wolf. But yeah, hanging out in here sounds nice. I've spend too much time outside of bellies today, I gotta balance it out somehow."
"Awesome. I'll be sure to get your number once you get out."
"Ditto."

Tumblr media
y’all read that tor.com article right??? the one that was just another “yaoi/omegaverse/whatever is just putting mlm couples into cishet roles”??? this one here. well maybe not but im bored and its annoying me so im gonna make a long post on it
Tumblr media
nice ratio did ur MOM pick it out for u??? jk ok
the biggest flaw in this article is, imo, assuming that this is a new, untapped topic of discussion, and not a debate that’s existed since time immemorial - or at least as long as fandom has been a thing. every point the author brings up has been hashed out and rehashed to absolute death, and it brings absolutely nothing new to the table beyond the same bland platitudes and critiques i’ve heard dozens of times. 
Tumblr media
this article doesn’t even bring up the boogeyman of the “cishet white girl fetishizing mlm” it’s about queer people writing fanfic, which imo makes it all the more egregious. 
Tumblr media
how?????????????? is this not queer???????????????? a lot of this makes me think of the discussion about how gay marriage was less important than other forms of queer liberation bc it just allowed queer folks to assimilate into a cisheteronormative lifestyle. 
the article then goes into how people change the physical attributes of the two men to have them better fit into a “male” and “female” esque role. i think the above sentence was meant more as a lead in to how the two men will be shoehorned into roles based on their physical attributes, which is them being shoehorned into a male/female dynamic, but still. two men In Love is very much queer. actually, lol, tangent but there’s this song “two men in love” that latvian figure skater deniss vasiljevs skated to as an exhibition, and tv channels kept censoring its name, so....
Tumblr media
as folks will point out, the Large Top/Small Bottom dynamic is one that actually does exist among some irl queer men. i’m very firmly of the opinion that the only thing queer folks can do to to express cishet norms is by actively working to undermine queer rights and gay lib, anything else a queer couple does is outside cishet norms by virtue of the couple being queer. a queer couple wants a white picket fence suburban life and 2.5 kids??? still queer.
there are two points about this: changing the physical characteristics of two male characters to get them to fit into a large/small top/bottom dynamic is annoying. it’s bad characterization. i still am not 100% sure i’d say it’s forcing mlm couples into cishet norms, bc of what i mentioned earlier. 
i also don’t know if this is something i’ve seen much of recently? maybe i’m just more discerning in what fanfic i choose to read now, and i’m much more likely to go based on recs and not just pick a fanfic and start reading it. the “yaoi hands” debate was old by the time i got online (just about 20 years ago now lmao). 
Tumblr media
i think that omegaverse existed to codify a lot of the trashy fandom tropes that existed prior to its inception into one universe. mpreg, self lubricating buttholes (lol), sex pollen, found family/pack dynamics... it started out as a dubcon-y porn trope. idk also queer people wanting babies isn’t cis heteronormative.
Tumblr media
not the first person to point this out but this is a significant double standard. why is this an example of positive queer representation but alpha/omega with men is imposing cishet norms on queer relationships? is it just that m/m is more represented in fanfiction while f/f is still relatively rare?  
ok lol i got bored part way through that’s enough of that
i think discussions of representation, as well as just changing attitudes, have meant people try hard to avoid tropes like making all the women screaming banshees, or shoehorning male characters into top/bottom roles, or having the relationship start out.... kind of rapey lol. but individual queer people writing fanfic arent corporations, queer ppl don’t exist to perform activism 24/7, and queer people by definition cannot be cishet
ok thats it

Crochet shadow infodump under the cut I cannot promise that it will be coherent but I can attest to overenthusiasm, which is just as well I think
Sooo I’ve basically figured out how I want to finish off the head, and am currently working towards that- the base was super simple, just your average sphere. I think I increased up to 42 though I’m not entirely sure it very well could’ve been 36 and I very much should’ve written this down but hindsight etc. anyways from there I had to figure out how to do the nose. I’ve been working from his boom model because it’s a) 3D and b) I do like the designs for that show they’re nice and also easy to find and reference. I also googled shadow plush to see how other people interpreted him in plush form which is a super helpful trick by the way if you ever want to make your own amigurumi patterns.
Anyways, the nose/mouth area. This got a little difficult because I couldn’t figure out how far I wanted the nose to extend at first- an actual hedgehog nose goes out much farther, of course, but the models seemed to stick largely to a stylized version that effectively kept the actual length of the nose very close to the rest of the face. That said I wanted there to be SOME variation in the length at least- as in, while embroidering the nose directly onto a muzzle-type piece as I might for a dog or bear plush would WORK, it’s not exactly the look I was going for- so I did some screwing around with HDC DC TC DC HDC in sequence to sort of have it jut out a bit. It’s amigurumi, so small hook for relatively thicker yarn, which means I didn’t have to do any other rows to even it out. Now the most annoying thing is that I made the rest of that piece by chaining and then working circular around that, which means one side is slightly more rounded than the other to which I have to say: whoops.
The eyes good LORD the eyes. On the model they’re connected at the white part that I can’t remember the name of right now, and I wanted to keep that- one big, backing piece that I am just now realizing I forgot to do the eyelid-eyeshadow thing on before sewing it on. Fuck. Might try to do some surface SC to fix that, but I’ve done eyeshadow-type thing before and I usually work in the back loops of the eye piece. Regardless, where there’s a will etc. so moving on: from there I just made smaller circular pieces for the iris and embroidered on top of those, and I’ll sew em to the back eye piece when I get there. Nothing too exciting. I made the backing piece by making to ovalish pieces (crocheted around a chain again) and then using a tail to connect them with some of the worst shaping techniques the world has ever seen, the (many) mistakes of which I proceeded to cover up with the mouth/nose. This is a metaphor for American politics. Godspeed.
Bad jokes aside: the spikes. Flat triangular pieces done in one color, another flat triangular piece made slightly shorter and sewn to the back, and then the both of them joined to the head, the difference in length allowing them to slope. I haven’t quite figured out the ratio on these yet, and it might come at the cost of a spike or two but the process works and because of that I can screw with it a bit to get the results I want.
Anyways, I might do more once I make the body. Depends. As always, if you’re curious or have any questions PLEASE ask please I love talking about my work

summary: trying to pass the time, you decide to treat heeseung for being a good boyfriend while you're at work.
<part 2 coming soon>
・ ⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・⋆ ・・ ⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆ ・ ⠄⠂⋆
you and heeseung worked part time at the same cafe. since you were dating, you rarely got to work the same shifts. however, during the weekends, if either of you ever had to cover for anyone, the manager allowed it.
today happened to be one of those days that you were working together.
there wasn't much of an influx of customers. it was noon and everyone was mostly busy having lunch. neither of you had much to do other than wait until someone walked in through the door.
you were starting to get bored and the only person around to annoy was heeseung. so you walked over to him and wrapped your arms around his neck, clinging onto him like a koala. heeseung laughed and held you loosely. "what are you doing?"
your answer was simple. "hugging you."
heeseung sighed and let you stay like that for a while. he then patted your back and tried to push you away. "okay, that's enough. you can let go now."
shaking your head, you hugged him even tighter. "babe i know you love me but you need to stop. your affection isn't worth risking my job."
you gasped, feigning offence and looked up at him. "who asked you to get a job here then?"
heeseung rolled his eyes. "if i hadn't gotten a job here, we wouldn't have met dummy."
you smiled and pulled his head down, planting a heavy kiss on his lips. heeseung struggled against your strong grip. it was only until the door opened that you let go of him.
a pretty lady walked in, taking off her sunglasses as she approached the counter. heeseung stood by the cashier to take her order while you stood off to the side to prepare it. she glanced at you, and then your boyfriend, smirking at him. you narrowed your eyes, knowing exactly what was about to happen.
this was your least favourite part about working with heeseung. he was good looking, so the manager made him take the orders. it was a terrible but effective marketing technique. they way he smiled at the customers and let them flirt with him always made your blood boil. you knew he had no choice. that's why you directed your anger towards the customer.
you watched the way she flipped her long, shiny hair over her shoulder and licked her plump lips. heeseung, being the respectful man he was, kept his eyes on the computer and only looked at her when he needed to confirm her order.
while you busied yourself with making her white mocha latte, you listened to their conversation. naturally, the first question she asked him was if he was single. a smile crept onto your face when he told her he was taken. since she called you a lucky girl, you made sure to add enough sugar to her drink. heeseung changed the topic of conversation to the weather. it was hot out. he let her know that she had done well by choosing an icy drink. but then she made the mistake of saying that she regretted wearing so many layers and that all she wanted to do was strip. so you increased the ice to water ratio as punishment. heeseung changed the topic again to something boring like sales. she obviously understood nothing he was saying and all she could do was hum and nod. you quickly finished up her drink and gave it to her, wishing her a good day ahead. while she walked away, you muttered under your breath in irritancy.
heeseung laughed and patted your back. "i hope her retributions weren't too severe."
you shrugged. "depends on what you consider severe." turning to him, you placed a hand on his chest. "let me suck your dick."
"what?" heeseung was caught off guard. he blinked and stared at you. "here? now?"
you nodded and palmed his crotch. heeseung gasped but made no effort to move away from you or stop your hand.
"but what about the cameras," he asked, sounding unsure?
"we might end up on a porn site but honestly, i don't care."
you unbuttoned his pants and pulled his zip down, taking his cock out of his boxers. everything was happening so fast that heeseung could barely react. but he let out a very hearty groan when dropped to your knees and took him in your mouth. he held onto the counter, watching in awe as you began bobbing your head over his cock.
the front door opened again, this time one of your colleagues walked in. it was jay. heeseung's eyes widened in horror. he stood up straight, glancing down at you in panic when you showed no signs of stopping.
"hey man, are you okay," jay asked, noticing the stoic expression on heeseung's usually happy face? he nodded frantically. "yeah i'm fine."
seeing that jay was about to come behind the counter, heeseung lunged forward. "wait! you don't, have to work today."
jay raised a brow. "why not?"
"y/n and i've got it covered," he said.
"okay but what am i supposed to do then," jay asked, looking around in confusion?
heeseung fished for his wallet, slipping out some money, and slid it over to jay. "how about you take jake out for a movie or something, my treat? you don't have to pay me back."
jay seemed astonished. it wasn't everyday that his coworker covered his shift and rewarded him for it. he smiled and thanked heeseung. "all right then. i'll give jake a call. enjoy your day i guess." and with that, it was just the two of you again.
meanwhile, you continued sucking heeseung off like his life depended on it. now that no one was there, you could clearly make out the loud slurps and gargles you emitted as you sped up. heeseung hissed and leaned back against the counter. "slow down babe, we've got all the time in the world."
you pulled your mouth off his member and pumped his cock, staring up at him with a smirk. "i never agreed to working two shifts you dimwit."
heeseung tsked. "well that's too bad. now you're stuck here with me for another hour so i suggest you make the most of it."
"oh i will," you said, bringing your mouth back to his cock again.
you licked at his tip teasingly. heeseung whined and pushed his hips into your face. "going slow doesn't mean you get to tease me."
so you did as he wished, taking things nice and slow. heeseung hummed in delight and bucked his hips into your mouth occasionally. there was something so relaxing about the whole ordeal. you usually liked to go fast, especially while going down on him. but this was nice too.
thankfully, no customers showed up for another twenty minutes. by that time, heeseung was close to his high. instead of shaky breaths, he let out low grunts. you sped up again, wanting nothing more than to taste his cum. it seemed that both of you had totally forgotten about the security cameras in the cafe. if someone was to play them back and see what you were up to, it would be enough for you to lose your jobs.
"fuck i'm gonna cum," heeseung warned, mere seconds before his cock twitched in your mouth. thick ropes of his seed spurt out against your tongue, the salty taste making you moan. heeseung cursed as he emptied himself in your mouth, letting out a sigh of relief once he was done. you swallowed and cleaned him up with your tongue, standing back up again with a giddy smile. "i can't believe we got away with that," you said while he stuffed his cock back in his pants. he went to the sink to wash his hands. "you're so in for it when he get home."

Sex Eyes
Tumblr media
Reader x Paul Lahote
SMUT 
Warnings: Oral Sex
All day. All day Paul had been giving you those looks. It was supposed to be a pack gathering along with the council. Sit around, have a cookout, make some hot dogs and hamburgers. If it was nice enough maybe take a dip in La Push. 
But Paul wouldn’t stop looking at you with sex eyes. You were wondering because of the mind link if the rest of the boys could hear the dirty thoughts you could only imagine he was thinking. 
You were currently sitting in between Jake and Leah. Talking about some chemistry assignment you were working on. Clearly not understand molar ratios. 
You could feel his eyes on you. You just knew it. Looking up you were right. A small smirk grew on his face when he realized I knew. 
Leah nudged me. “Did you hear me?” 
 “What? Yeah, I think you have to balance the chemical equations in the first half and-”
Two burly arms wrapped around your shoulders. 
“Hi pretty girl.” 
“Um and then, uhhh you have to put the molar ratio? I don't know if that’s right. I can come over later to help you if you want?” You turned around, a specific boy already pressing kisses into your shoulder. 
“Hey babe, what's up?” 
Jake was already gone, and you could hear Leah, “No I think I got it thanks though.” 
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” His mouth was blowing warm air into your ear. His warmth and smell intoxicating. 
“We are at a family gathering, get your head out of the gutter Lahote.” 
“Mmmm come on baby I just need to talk to you for a minute, please? Pretty please?” 
You huffed standing up.  
He grabbed your hand pulling you along with him. 
You finally noticed the clouds covering the once sunny sky. “Paulllll come onnn, it was a nice day it's gonna rain soon.” 
He turned around suddenly causing you to bump into his chest. Right behind the nearest shrub of trees. His warm hands were suddenly on both of your cheeks. 
Pressing your mouth into his. His lips were moving slowly. He wanted to take his time, work you up to the level of insanity he was currently at. 
“Mmmmm” 
The soft warmth but rough texture of his slightly chapped lips was addicting. You reached up gripping the soft strands of his brown hair in between your fingers. His hand reached behind your neck pulling you impossibly closer. 
“Paul-mm-” 
“Shhhh”
You finally pulled away. Both of you struggling to catch your breath. 
“Do you think we can get at least 50 feet away from the others before you harass me?”  
“Is it harassing if you want me just as bad?” 
The smirk I adored so much back on his face. 
“Who says I love it?” 
His hand landed on your chest. On top of your heart. 
“I feel like sometimes you forget about my super hearing.” 
You rolled your eyes. “I hate you.” 
Walking down the paved road pulling him behind you with his hand. 
“You love me, don't lie. Where are you taking me woman?” 
It was your turn to turn around with a huff? 
“You’re the one who pulled me away because you couldn’t stop looking at me with sex eyes aren’t you supposed to tell me?” 
His eyes widened and a laugh slipped out. “It's not my fault! I told you not to wear that sundress!” 
You slapped him in the chest, “Is that why Embry kept looking at my legs?” 
His face dropped suddenly solemnly. “He what?” He stopped walking. “Embry thinks he can look at you like that? Yeah okay, I’ll teach him a lesson to make sure he can’t look at shit for a while.” He turned around marching away. 
You ran to catch up with him. “Joke! It was just a joke! Babe-” You pulled his arm so he could look at you. “Baby it was a joke, Embry doesn’t look at me like that.” 
His eyes turned into slits. “Think you're funny do you?” 
You started to laugh. “You should have seen your face oh my-” 
His hands gripped your waist, throwing you over his shoulder. 
“Paul! What the hell?” You shrieked. 
His other hand came down landing on your ass cheek. “Ow! That hurt you, jerk!” 
“That's what you get.” 
He walked into the forest again. It was another 15 minutes until the path became familiar. 
“Are your parents still at work?” 
“Yeah they are going to dinner tonight in Port Angeles tonight too.” 
“Good.” 
He walked up the wooden steps of your porch. Grabbing the extra key behind your mom’s aloe vera plant, unlocking the door. 
He turned around grabbing you again but this time wrapping your legs around his waist. 
Suddenly nervous. Until his lips attached to yours slowly walking up the stairs. Traveling down to the sensitive part of your neck. “I'm sorry baby, but I really need you. Like really bad.” 
He pushed you down on the bed, spreading your legs. 
Pressing kisses into your thighs slowly going higher until he reached the wet patch of your grey undies. He reached for the band, slipping the small material off. 
“Is this okay, can I?” 
“yes, you're perfect.”
He smiled one last time and his lips were suddenly on your core, moving ferociously. 
“Baby, baby ahhh.” 
He moaned against your clit adding another level of pleasure. 
His tongue roamed through your slit moving up and down slowly pressing into your hole. An inhuman growl coming from the back of his throat. You couldn’t tell who enjoyed this more. 
He wrapped his lips around your clit suddenly sucking. Your back arched. “Fuck! Paul, please don’t stop, please don’t-oh my god.” 
Two of his long thick fingers slipped in pressing hard at the spongy part he knew drove you crazy. 
“Doin so good for me baby. That’s it, just like that, you gonna cum for me?” 
Your hands tugged on his hair, “yesyesyesyes.” 
“Fuck that’s so hot, you’re so beautiful, cum for me baby, come on.” 
His lips were suddenly sucking on your clit again. His moaning growing again you didn’t even notice he was grinding against the edge of your bed. 
You reached your peak, euphoria spreading in your veins. “Im cumming, oh my god.” 
“Mmmm” 
You felt it travel all through your legs, your clit pulsing on fire, your whole body was swarming in heat. 
Paul kept licking up your arousal until you started to whine. “Too-too sensitive baby.” 
You closed your eyes as he reached your face, lips slanting down to yours. Making you taste yourself. 
You reached down trying to relieve him before he stopped you. 
“Mm too sensitive babe.” 
He went back to kissing you before you pulled away. 
“What do you mean, I wanna get you off.” 
A smile raised on his lips before a slight blush rose to his cheeks. “You already did pretty girl.”
-------
I’m sorry if this was bad I’m kinda new to this, lmk what you think.
But I hope you enjoyed! Requests are open. :)

Dream SMP Recap (February 26/2021) - ...What?
DreamXD helped George build a McDonald’s, Quackity’s double joined, Jack and Andrea went on a date with Sam and Foolish joining in as wingmen, Andrea was lured to the Egg, Wilbur (non-canonically) had a heart attack during a horse/footrace and died...
Just an average day in the Dream SMP, I suppose?
---
VOD LINKS:
Ranboo
Captain Puffy
Georgenotfound
Jack Manifold
[Andrea’s VOD was deleted due to leaked info, nothing to worry about though!]
---
- Puffy and Foolish work on their fast food restaurant
- After attempting to solve the mystery behind why George was banned on TikTok, Quackity decides that George should build a McDonald’s in Minecraft.
- DreamXD, the god of the server himself, appears to help them. As the owner of the land, he suggests that they renovate the Deal or No Deal house into a McDonalds. He happens to have some very convenient stacks of supplies. 
- They burn down the old house and begin to build. Wendy’s replies on Twitter and Dream ratios them.
- Quackity starts chasing George so he calls for Dream’s help and DreamXD attacks him as Quackity repents for his sins. Quackity logs out and DreamXD builds a pit and they fill it with lava.
- George shouts for Quackity to log in while dramatic music plays. 
Quackity: “Then so be it. So be it! I don’t care! So be it, George! If this is the destiny that I have to face, then I’ll face it with honor, George!”
- He’s known it all along...Quackity is the one who got him banned. Quackity’s the one who got them all banned! Quackity begins to chuckle. George finally put together the pieces.
Quackity: “You have no idea how much power I have, George...and guess what, I have no issues doing it over, and over, and over again.”
- Quackity decides that he’s not going to log in so that he won’t give George the satisfaction of watching him die. DreamXD types a suggestion to ban Quackity in chat.
George: “I have Dream on my side! DreamXD, he is the god of the Dream SMP server! He will RUIN you! He will delete you from the lore!”
Quackity: “DreamXD...you think gods scare me, George? Gods don’t scare me, George, they don’t.”
- Bad falls into the pit and has to get out.
George: “He’s quacked!”
Quackity: “I’m gonna walk out the door with honor, George, and I’m never giving you the satisfaction of watching me die.”
- Suddenly, DreamXD hits George into the pit of fire, revealing that he’s been with Wendy’s this entire time! George perishes in the fire as Quackity taunts him. 
Quackity: “LOOK AT YOU! Look at you fall into despair and death, thinking you’re one step above, but you have no one on your side, George. Nobody...nobody is on your side. Nobody has ever been on your side, George. That’s the funny part! That’s the funny part. Your little moments, your little moments where you think you have any sort of power...they’re just amusing, George. They’re so amusing to me. Have you realized it yet? Have you realized how you hold no power, ever, at all? Take this to the grave, George...you’re nobody.”
- DreamXD tells Quackity it’s clear to log on, but Quackity still doesn’t die. DreamXD then says that it was all an attempt to trick Quackity into logging in and calls for George to log back on.
DreamXD: “I was never with him, George...I’ve been by your side since the beginning, George...I promise.”
- They walk back to McDonald’s. DreamXD assures George that Quackity will pay for this. He murders Bad to cheer George up. DreamXD also makes George a server operator for a short moment.
- George runs back, shouting at Quackity to log in. Quackity replies that as long as he’s outside of George’s realm, they have no power over him. The instant he logs in, they have control. He won’t give them that satisfaction.
- George threatens to canonically ban Quackity for eternity. Bad warns him of the mark this might make on his soul. George presses enter...and it doesn’t work. 
Quackity: (laughing) “George...you really thought you had the power! You really thought you could do anything to me! George, you can’t! You can’t do anything to me! Not now, not ever, not as long as I live, George.”
“Long live Quackity, George...I never die.”
- Quackity announces that he will be building a salad store right across the street from George’s store, and there’s nothing George can do about it!
- quackitynumber2 joins the game. George tells him that if he sacrifices himself to the lava, he’ll forgive him. Quackitynumber2 does just that. They rescue real Quackity from the lava.
- DreamXD takes George to the Oogway Shrine to “pray.” 
- Sapnap comes on, very confused. They continue to ratio Wendy’s.
- Jack preps for his date. Foolish gives him a pep talk, then Wilbur briefly joins to ask if Andrea’s there yet. Antfrost arrives in a maid outfit.
- Andrea eventually comes onto the server. She dies once and Sam declares it canon. Sam gives Jack gifts for the date at Spawn.
- Jack and Andrea ride around in a boat a bit. The date continues as Antfrost and Sam work as diligent wingmen.
- Sam turns Jack into the waterman and shouts about Dreamons as he attacks. Jack runs away and waits for the invisibility to wear off while Sam, Punz and the others show Andrea Egg propaganda.
- Sam says they can see the Egg soon! Punz remarks that the Egg is nice. Jack freaks out when he hears about this and runs over, eager to stop Andrea from being mind-controlled.
- Jack makes it to Puffy’s McDonald’s and reunites with Andrea. 
- They continue to walk around, near the Eggpire meeting room. Sam greets them there, leads the two into the egg building and tells Andrea to stand in the center. Jack and Andrea jump down into the Egg Room.
Sam: Break it Andrea. Save the server. Do it.
- Jack warns her against breaking the blocks. Andrea jumps down from the Egg and looks at it.
Sam: DO YOU WANT TO BE A HERO??
Andrea: SIR
Andrea: MR AWESOME DUDE
Sam: Yes?
Andrea: HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN EGG
Andrea: THAT IS NOT AN EGG
- She says this reminds her of health education classes. A fun way to teach people about the reproductive system. Sam tells her to break the Egg again.
- Sam tells her they need to break the Egg to leave, but Andrea dies by lava instead. Jack warns her that she only has one canon life left.
- Jack struggles to swim back up to the surface through the chute. Sam tells Andrea that he doesn’t see her surviving the night.
- Jack makes it to the surface and tries to get back to Andrea. Meanwhile, Sam tells Andrea that he’s way richer than Jack is. 
- Jack meets Andrea and Sam at Lemon City. Sam gets Andrea a horse. They decide to do a race. Andrea proposes that they sacrifice the loser. Foolish accuses Sam of cheating on Ponk.
- Ponk comes online.
Jack: Hi Fonk
Sam: LETS RACE
Ponk: Shut up home wrecker
WilburSoot joined the game.
- They make a call for all the racers. Wilbur joins and asks Jack for a few words in private.
- Once alone, Wilbur urges Jack to get out of there. This is not going well, he says. Jack insists that everything’s going fine! Wilbur tells Jack that Andrea asked him to serenade her.
- Jack points out that Wilbur did this last time. Wilbur tells him that was just him being a silly quirky goofster. This is him being real.Wilbur tells Jack to trust him.
Wilbur: “I have a plan...basically, you’re doing a race, right? What’s the worst thing that can happen during a race, you may be asking? I’ll tell you what:
“Wilbur Soot has a heart attack and dies.”
- The plan goes as follows: they start the race, Wilbur has a heart attack and dies, and in his last dying breath, he asks Andrea to tell the truth.
- The two rejoin the call with the plan in mind and meet at the Community House with Sam to begin the race.
Wilbur: “I sure hope my arteries will hold up!”
- The race begins! Jack, Andrea and Sam all start running, Andrea still on horseback. Wilbur calls out that his chest is hurting and Jack turns around to run back to him.
- With his last dying breath, Wilbur says to Andrea that she should tell Jack what she said to Wilbur. He then dies before they can perform CPR. Sam points out that Wilbur Soot is not the type to waste his last words. Andrea replies that they were going to sacrifice him anyway.
- Jack has the messages from Wilbur.
Sam: “Can you read those to us please? I wanna imagine that he wrote them about me.”
Jack: “Okay, he said -- you’re gonna struggle, it has my name in it.”
Sam: “Well, just, when you read your name, just say ‘Sam’ instead.
Jack: “Okay, he says, ‘I want to date Sam. That sounds fucking brilliant.’”
Sam: “Wilbur said that about me?! Oh my god, I have chills. I literally have chills right now. I got ghost bumpies.”
- Andrea asks what’s going on between Jack and Wilbur, and questions whether Jack is really in love with her. She decides to run away.
- Sam shows her the prison he built and brags that he’s the warden. Andrea’s horse explodes. Sam asks if they should lock Jack up, and Andrea says they should.
- After Andrea sings “My Humps,” Sam rapidly comes to the conclusion that he no longer wants anything to do with this date. 
- Jack and Andrea’s date continues as he leads her to the restaurant he made. 
- Afterwards, they go back to the mainland and Andrea sees L’manhole. Jack explains that this is where L’manberg was destroyed, and he fell into Hell. Andrea remarks that there used to be a sign here that said “I <3 Andrea” that now says “You </3 Little Penis” instead.
- They sail out into the ocean together. 
- Afterwards, Jack brings her to Foolish’s Temple of Undying. Jack says he’ll see her on their next date, if he’s still alive by then.
- Andrea leaves, and Sam speaks with Jack alone.

Upcoming events remain the same.

At First Sight
It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these blurbs, and I really liked this one. It’s got some OCs of mine that I created to be Wooley’s batchmates. More information on them can be found below the cut
Wooley groaned as the Corrie tugged his arms behind him and pulled out a set of binders. He wasn't even drunk or involved this time. He just happened to be nearby when Crys set off a bunch of glitter bombs (Wooley was pretty sure he got them from Torrent) and of course the Corrie assumed he was a part of it. Or just wanted the bragging rights among their batchmates that he got to throw Wooley into the drunk tank.
"Corin, you are a slimy bastard," he groaned. "I didn't do anything."
"Hmm, that's what you say. But you see, you Ghosts rarely do stuff by yourself. Therefore, that kid Jek is arresting had an accomplice. The closest Ghost was you," Corin said smugly.
Wooley sighed.
"I actually hate you right now."
"Don't stay things you don't mean, Wooley dearest," Corin sang.
"Ratio is my favorite now."
"Blasphemy! I have always been your favorite batchmate," Corin protested.
"Ratio isn’t currently arresting me for something I didn't do and didn't know anything about."
"If you want to lie, you need to get better at hiding your tells."
"I've been working on that," another vod's voice called. Wooley sighed. He knew that voice very well. And of course Lovely just had to happen by.
Corin closed the binders on his wrists and turned Wooley towards the Guard speeder where Lovely was leaning against the side.
And then they stopped.
Wooley glanced behind and couldn't help but grin. Oh. Oh that was delightful blackmail material.
Corin stood there, his bucket clipped to his belt so his curly blue hair went in every direction as it attempted to escape its ponytail. And he stood, absolutely dumbstruck, and stared at Lovely. His brother, the most flirtatious of the lot of them, was stunned silent by a pretty face.
Discreetly, Wooley swiped the keys off of Corin's belt and walked towards the speeder, Corin's hand sliding off of his back. He fiddled with the binders for a moment and then slipped them off and tossed them into the Guard speeder. He put his bucket back on and immediately took several holos of Corin's face.
"Is there a problem?" Lovely asked, walking towards Corin as he waved Wooley away behind his back.
"Puh uh problem? No, there's no problem," Corin stammered. "I'm Corin."
"Nice to meet you, Corin," Lovely answered. "I'm Lovely."
"You definitely are."
Wooley almost gave his escape away with a snort as he listened to his normally suave brother blunder through an introduction. He couldn't wait to show this to Mal and Ama. They would absolutely never let Corin live this down. Cyan would get a kick out of it, too.
As Wooley hopped into a speeder heading to the GAR barracks, specifically for the clones, he sent the holo to the Crimson groupchat.
<Wooley: Look at him. He saw one of my squaddies and made this face!>
<Ama: NO WAY!!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!>
<Ratio: Ha! Thank you Wooley. I am definitely saving that to get back at him for the prank he pulled last week.>
<Mal: That was Ama. But it's about time Corin got a taste of his own medicine.>
<Cyan: Lovely is really nice. Corin at least has good taste. If Lovely falls for him, though, I'm gonna have to question his taste.>
<Corin: WOOLEY YOU SON OF A BANTHA WHORE!!!>
Wooley just cackled.
Wooley’s Batch (AKA Crimson Batch)
Mal: The Oldest TM. He is gentle and kind and gives the absolute best hugs. He’s the kind of person you go to for a nice long cuddle with ice cream, blanket forts, and a movie to feel better after a bad day. He’s also got great advice. He was one of the five members of Crimson Batch that were sent to Coruscant as part of the Coruscant Guard.
Kye: He can be a bit of a grump. He is also the easiest to get with a prank, which the others do quite frequently. Kye also has the most infectious laugh, if you can get him to let loose. He’s also a Coruscant Guard.
Ratio: Ratio is happiest if he has a fully-charged datapad, a hot cup of caf, and a vod’ika curled up against him (usually Ama). Force save anyone who brings him a problem to solve before he’s had his morning caf, though. He likes to tease and joke around and holds trivia nights, which can range from fun little quizzes, to him info-dumping with his batchmates. He is also a Coruscant Guard.
Corin: Corin is a notorious flirt. He will flirt with anyone that he can get away with. Charming to the extreme and with a fun sense of humor to boot, he is very popular both within the Guard and with any Battalions on leave. He is also a massive troll. Wooley and Corin were really close before they were deployed and Wooley learned how to flirt from Corin. He fell head over heels for Lovely the very first time he saw him, and spent the rest of the war trying to come up with ways to woo Lovely. (Lovely is demi, so it took a bit of time and a lot of patience, but he was wooed.) Corin is a member of the Coruscant Guard.
Talla: He is very protective. He was one of the batchmates that was assigned to Commander Rill’s Company (also an oc of mine) along with Wooley, Cyan, Kita, and Maie. When they were captured by Separatists, Talla was sold to Trandoshans along with Kita and Maie. He protected them and they managed to survive until they were later rescued (this is soft! I couldn’t kill them. I just couldn’t). He’s fairly paranoid and warms up to strangers very slowly and rarely goes anywhere without his armor and several weapons.
Cyan: Cyan was rescued by the 212th along with Wooley (and Lovely and a few others, but I’m not focusing on them now). He’s really reserved and quiet, but will absolutely swear like a sailor with the people he’s closest to. He becomes really close with Miggs (a fellow trooper in the 212th) and they eventually say the riduurok after Miggs lost his leg on Umbara. They will eventually adopt a squad of cadets and raise them together.
Kita: Kita is pretty friendly and adapts well to being around other people. At least better than Talla. He was also rescued with Talla and Maie. He likes making friends and is definitely nowhere near as paranoid as Talla.
Maie: Maie is considered “Babey TM”. He’s got the Sad Tooka Eyes (which Wooley learned from him and used to great effect on the 212th). He is a little quiet and tends to stick close with the people he knows the best but is also interested in making new friends. He really wants to open a ranch or farm and just spend time out in nature when he doesn’t have to worry about being hunted.
And finally . . . 
Ama: Ama is the Youngest TM. Always. He loves practical jokes and making people laugh. He has probably perfected several comedy routines at this point and performs them every time he’s at 79′s with a new Company on leave. Loves sitting with Ratio and they like planning pranks together. Kye is their usual victim, but they also target the others as well. He was also sent to Coruscant as a Coruscant Guard.
Let me know if you want to learn any more about these guys! (I have done piccrew with them because I can’t draw) I love them a lot. If you made it all the way this far! Congratulations and thank you so much!! Crimson Batch will appear in my Long Fic (whenever I have time to actually write it).
ALSO!! FYI, Wooley falls between Kita and Maie, age-wise. He’s not the Youngest, but he is one of the youngest.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to! Sometimes I get busy or depressed or sick, etc., and I fall behind, but I try to respond, for a number of reasons - they give me so much joy that I want to acknowledge that they have brought my joy; it is so wonderful to see what people to respond to and love and laugh at and cry over, it definitely makes me a better writer, and so I want to acknowledge that, too; and comments when I’m in the middle of posting a fic are especially helpful to me because they often result in me tweaking what’s coming next in response to questions I see people have that indicate I’m not being clear enough, or maybe I’m not hitting the tone I want, etc. And so I like to respond to be like, “Thank you! You have no idea how important and wonderful this is to me!”
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Oh, wow. While I actually think I can write good angst, when I do it I try to have it in the middle of the fic, so that it gets properly resolved to give you a nice, happy ending. I’m sure someone’s going to be like, YOU ARE FORGETTING THIS HEART-WRENCHING THING YOU WROTE, but all I’m coming up with right now is that, in my long Doctor Who ‘verse I wrote, I did a fic in which their family dog died. That was pretty angsty. (omg I just scrolled down to see how I ended this story and OH MY GOD ahahah I forgot that I wrote this after I’d broken up with the Tenth Doctor and so it ends with Brem being like, “Plus, my father is useless so I have to hold the entire family together all the time” hahahaha what an extra-angsty ending, Brem, my love lol)
7. Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I do sometimes! I feel like most of my crossovers make some amount of sense. Like, okay, maybe you wouldn’t think to cross Inception with Fall Out Boy (this was a special request) but I think the premise of the fic makes total sense. And I once crossed Oliver with Brem, but those were my first two beloved precocious fic songs, so that made some sense, too. And I still think Inception and Sherlock crossed together made SO much more sense than actual seasons of Sherlock lol. So I guess if I had to choose the craziest I would go with the Doctor Who/Gossip Girl crossover I wrote lol. But wait, that one actually also made sense as I wrote it, I think, so I’ll go with the Sherlock/Fall Out Boy crossover because that was just bonkers.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yes. I wrote a fic that was really horrible to Mary in “Sherlock.” I hate Mary. I feel like I can say that now. I haaaaaated Mary. But in those days “Sherlock” was an incredibly tense fandom to be part of and if you didn’t say that you loved Mary all the time forever and always then people were like !7@((!*(@(!& at you. I have a million massive warnings in all caps all over the fic, like, DON’T READ THIS IF YOU LIKE MARY, and people still would leave rude comments on it lololol. And then we wonder why I left that fandom lol. (I mean, many people in the fandom were wonderful, and I don’t always have REASONS why I leave fandoms, it’s not like anything is that logical or rational. But it wasn’t a very fun time to be in Sherlock fandom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
I do. My smut almost always has to be advancing some kind of emotional beat in the characters’ relationship. I’m never super-explicit because usually the whole point of the scene to me is what the characters are thinking and feeling, not really what they’re *doing.*
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Sometimes my fics show up somewhere without my knowledge. People are really good about letting me know when that happens.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yup!
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes!
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
This is like asking who my all-time favorite child is.
14. What’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I have this high school Peterick AU that I started at the beginning of the pandemic. For some reason, when schools shut down, all I could think about was all these bands that wouldn’t get formed because the kids couldn’t go to each other’s houses, like Pete Wentz couldn’t just show up at Patrick Stump’s to hear him play. So I started this story where Pete and Patrick meet right before the pandemic hits, and then everything locks down and they’re stuck Facetiming each other and coming to the realization that their soulmate is on the other side of the screen.
Anyway, I actually think this fic is super-hot?? And I never think I write hot things, but it’s got a hot phone sex scene and I’m really happy with it and I would love to finish the story...except that the pandemic turned out to be...this. And in my head, Idk, I thought there’d be this triumphant moment where everyone would be like, “Yay! We can see each other now!” and Pete and Patrick would reunite, and instead everything petered out into, “Can we see each other now........????? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “ and I didn’t know what to do with that in my fic, it made it not as neat as I was wanting it to be.
But I hate to lose that hot phone sex scene hahaha. And also after the hot phone sex scene Patrick adds “Hotline Bling” to his and Pete’s shared Spotify playlist they’ve been working on and I’M SORRY, I FOUND THAT SO CHARMING, PATRICK STOLE MY HEART WITH THAT MOVE, anyway, as you can see, I love so much about the fic and I really want to find a way to make it work and maybe someday I will the end.
15. What are your writing strengths?
My dialogue.
Also I think I write the same story over and over (person realizes that they’re deserving of being loved for exactly who they are), but I think I’m REALLY GOOD at that one story lol
Also I like to think that I write family relationship stuff fairly well, like, Idk, I love doing that stuff, whether found family or biological.
Oh, and I think I usually get the ratio of angst::happy ending pretty good (in my view for my personal preference lol).
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
I don’t think I’m especially good at smut. I’m terrible at paying attention to things like setting, what the characters are wearing, what the characters even look like, etc. As mentioned above, I tell the same story over and over and over, and I’m okay with that, but yeah, I’d be bad at telling a story where people aren’t, like, nice people who you’re rooting for.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think I couldn’t do it, because I don’t speak any other language, but I’m always happy when people translate my fics!
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Doctor Who. Although maybe, like, New Kids on the Block self-insert stuff counts from junior high??? But Doctor Who was first published.
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Please see above re: favorite child lol
I tag every writer who wants to do this and I hope every writer does this because I always think these are fascinating!!
