Jerry asks #2
Tumblr media
Previous one
Concept: I've put multiple asks into one post to avoid too much loose posts on my account! This way, you have more to read too<3
Warnings: nsfw mentions, drugs, murder
Tumblr media
Rahhh i love ur OC Jerry smmm, i wanna squish her like a stress ball and inhale her into my nose 😔😔Im conclusion, i can't wait to see more of Jerry and your writing in general!!! &lt;;33
youwannadowhatnow???? (thank you so much ily)
Tumblr media
Bro i am SO in lesbians with jerry its not even funny
Very good >:)
Tumblr media
how would Jerry react to reader killing someone out of self defense?(p.s. im lowkey in love with Jerry)
She will be proud over you. All that self defense she taught you actually worked. She's so pleased to know that you can take care of yourself when she's away. She'll comfort you, knowing that this most likely will take a toll on your brain.
"It's okay, baby, it's okay I promise, you did nothing wrong! You did so well. You could even have been harsher if you ask me, but you're so nice, aren't you? The nicest little baby? Come here."
Tumblr media
As soon as Jerry puts a colouring book in front of me bam my attention is gone I am drawing I am gone I am happy
Perfect, just like she wants :>
Tumblr media
"Giving you a coloring book to keep you occupied" Jerre what the actual f... do you think i'm a child ?! *is absolutely doing the coloring with an offended look*
Lmao coloring books really are fun, i love them so much
She'll come over every ten minutes to check up on you and see how far you've come.
"No need to glare at me when you're obviously having fun, you child." She peeks at the drawing. "That looks good, baby doll. If you finish the entire page before I'm done here I might let you sleep on my arm tonight."
Tumblr media
Does Jerry get softer over time? She’s stand offish but we get those moments of softness, when she settles down with her darling and they both trust each other will she be soft or still only fleeting moments?
She doesn't get softer in theory, but you learn how to take her behavior and analyze it. Her cockiness is a part of her personality. it's not disappearing anytime soon. However, if you match her energy she will be much more comfortable. You might even be on the same level with her instead of being her property.
Example:
"I ought to give that son of a bitch a real pounding", Jerry mutters with her arms crossed over her chest.
"You should wipe the floor with his hair", you reply. "Use it like a real good mop."
She scoffs out a laugh. "I should, shouldn't I?"
"If you don't, I will."
You're about to leave, but she grabs your shoulder, forcing you back.
"Not a fucking chance, Y/N", she says. "He would grab your hair and swing you over his head like a damn propeller. I'm not letting him hurt you, you're too important to me. You can help me, but you're not doing anything by yourself, do you understand that?"
"In that case he'll hurt you too."
"I'll be fine." She taps your nods at the man. "If you take his glass, I'll put in the sleeping pills. Let's go, baby. I'm right behind you."
Tumblr media
on my hands and knees begging for more information on jerry’s mommy kink
Well ... haha ... Jerry loves to be in control and know that she's the leader of the relationship. Having you call her that makes her feel important to you. Plus it feeds her gigantic ego.
She's the type to want you to call her that among others, just so people know. It makes her feel even cockier.
Of course she mocks you about it when you become shy about it, why wouldn't she do that? The more embarrassed you are, the happier she gets.
Tumblr media
BLUE OMG I LOVE JERRY SO MUCH SHES LITERALLY RHE STANDART ‼️‼️
AGREED<33333
Tumblr media
jerry stole my heart<3 -💤anon
She will steal more than that, she will steal your entire life

omg hi !!! i just read ur new mike hc and OMG ITS SO CUTHEUERU will cry everyday thinking abt it. but i also saw that ur requests are open for mike and i’ve been DYING FOR SOME MIKE SCHMIDT FICS the rage abt him was too short😔 i was thinking something similar with the hc that you already have but with a little angst? maybe him waking up from a bad dream and just needing his gf? i just wanna see some domesticity with him and abby and just the gf taking care of them just to help him a little THE MAN NEEDS A BREAK PLS idk i think it would be super sweet. i hope ur having a good day!! if u don’t wanna take up this request that is totally a-o-kay🩷
a/n: i am so sorry. i completely forgot about this sizzling in my inbox and it has now been SEVEN MONTHS since this movie's release. but this was such a cute idea, i needed to finish it!! im so sorry and i apologize if youve moved on from this man omg LMAO pairing : mike schmidt x gn!reader warnings : kind of heavy angst w/delving into mike's thought process, mentions of nightmares, otherwise fluff. partly proofread. SPOILERS! (but you guys... probably dont need the warning by now, right?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
mike's nightmares (dreams?) about garrett didn't really... go away after everything that happened at freddy's. sure, it gave him some ounce of comfort knowing that he'd found the man who took his brother-- one of his lifelines, away from him, and also knowing that the same man who took his brother was now dead. but regardless, it didn't take the memories nor the guilt away. mike is, and has always been convinced that everything bad leading up to now must've been his fault. starting with garrett, all the way up to vanessa's coma, no matter how many times you've told him otherwise.
and that lingering guilt seeps into his dreams, too. he's had less dreams about garrett, and he's slowly started to have actual stupid, brief, 'normal' dreams that he can't even remember once he wakes up ever since he stopped taking the ambien; he could now safely fall asleep to the sounds of your breathing, the soothing motions of your hands in his hair, and the crickets outside rather than the repetitive nature sounds on the walkman. but when the dreams about garrett happen, they're... different. they aren't the same sequence that would usually happen in his dreams like before. he can't even remember what happens in them anymore, his memory fading as soon as he wakes up as if he hadn't dreamt anything at all-- but he's always waking up with sweat condensed on his brow, his heart racing out of his chest, and a lingering feeling of dread tugging at his heart, always feeling like somebody was watching him. he'd often wake up with a gasp, or a brief shout. it brought an aching feeling like no ofher— and while he doesn't remember the dreams anymore, the aching feeling is still the same he used to get when he was searching for why, and who kidnapped his brother. and there's another overwhelming feeling of guilt too— how could he ever even think of trading his sister for garrett?
sometimes you wake up from his violent shudders or sobbing, sometimes you don't. and when you do, you're there in a heartbeat-- your body moving faster than your sluggish, tired brain to pull him close and hug him tightly into your chest as he sobs incoherent words, not caring about his cries moving through the thin walls. he'll always apologize no matter how many times you tell him that there's no need to. he woke you up. shouldn't he feel bad about that? he just doesn't want to inconvenience you anymore. but you're pulling him out of his thoughts quickly, comforting him before he even gets a chance to regret waking you up.
it doesn't take him long to calm down whenever you're around to hold him, just like how he needed. the both of you breathing softly, the only sounds audible being your heartbeat and the wind rustling the leaves of the trees outside. quiet, just what mike needed. just like what he craved, with you.
"'m so tired." he'd whisper, blinking slowly as he traced absentminded patterns on the skin of your collarbone, the repetition soothing him. he always liked doing that. and he liked when you did the same thing with him.
"i know." you'd whisper back— and he didn't need to head anything else to feel your overwhelming care for him. it was still so confusing for him to adjust to— the fact that you wanted him even after all of the fucked up shit he went through. no— you didn't just want him, you loved him. held him without a care in the world, and you'd do it in a heartbeat. you learned his body language— knowing exactly what he needed and when. you were his home— you and abby were his home.
one morning, he's waking up alone. not really something that concerned him— you had stuff to do. like work, taking abby to school when you insisted he stay home and rest. he rubs his eyes as he stares up at the ceiling for a bit longer before pushing himself out of bed— there's no use in dwelling on last night, anyways.
mike shuffles out of bed with a yawn, scratching at the skin riding up on his shirt before feeling something wrap around him at torso level. he looks down, and it's abby. he gives her a small smile, bending down slightly to wrap his arms around her, and she giggles. "i'm not supposed to say anything." she whispers, rocking back on her feet slightly. okaaay... secrets right when he woke up, just what he needed. but he smells something good— pancakes? that has him shuffling right into the kitchen, staring at you tending to the stove, the perfect image of domesticity.
as abby's shuffling into the living room to go watch labrynth once more, mike paddles behind you and wraps his arms around your waist, giving a small kiss to your collarbone as he's staring down at your perfect hands, watching you make breakfast. usually he was the one to make breakfast— what was the special occasion? "i'm guessing this is what abby was being secretive about?" he grinned softly, breathing in the warm scent of your hair. soft. you were soft.
"i told her she wasn't supposed to say anything." you replied back, giving a soft 'hmph' as you eyed abby from the kitchen with a soft smile on your face, turning the heat off to the stove before turning around to face your boyfriend. the eggs were done cooking, anyways. "just... thought i'd do something nice for you. let you sleep in a little." your voice was soft, held implications of last night's nightmares shaking mike violently awake. he... didn't get much sleep whenever they happened. his eyes fluttered softly at the feeling of your hands carding through his hair again, and he's already about to fall asleep right at the stove.
you're prepared for him to pout, claim that breakfast was his job and that you shouldn't have gotten out of bed so early with the fact that you had so much stuff to do. but instead— he gives you a soft, bashful smile as he grabs your hand gently, kissing your palm. "thank you. y'know I love you, right?" he whispered, giving you a gentle peck on your lips. fuck morning breath.
"i love you." you whispered back, moving to lean in another time before you're hearing a dramatic gag from the living room, coming from abby. you and mike are scoffing with soft grins as the both of you depart from eachother— but still never looking away.
he never really worried about his nightmares after that, anyway.

G-Witch episode 12 thoughts
Well, that was a wild ride. I think we all know the big moment that everyone is talking about but before we sprint to the finish in angst-ville, let's enjoy the relatively lighter bits-- just joking there aren't any.
Tumblr media
Seeing the witches go all out with their permit scoring really highlights how unique Aerial and Suletta are. Still, Sophie is able to beat the GUND-format antidote by sheer force of will. And unlike Suletta it takes a huge toll. This fight was incredibly one-sided on behalf of DoF which I think we all suspected. Witches aren't feared for nothing.
Tumblr media
In the middle of all this chaos, Miorine is shielded from debris by Delling. His talk to her and mention of Mio's mother was enlightening. They way he speaks of her makes me wonder if she was a soldier too, possibly killed by a Gundam? Whatever the truth, it's unmistakable how much he cares for Mio's well-being. He might have a shit way of showing it in a non-deadly situation, but it's better than Fail Mother of the year, Prospera.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before we open that masked can of worms, here's a brief mention to Nika. We see her save herself and the rest of Earth House by signaling to Norea's gundam. Lucky for her, she was recognized as an ally of the 'Prince'. Not so luckily, her little morse code session was seen. Oops.
I'd like to see her collusion and secrets come to light early in the next cour. She's a good egg, just trapped between her past ties on earth and the friends she made at military school. Will it end terribly? I'm anxious to find out.
Tumblr media
Pour one out for Bob by the way. I won't mourn Jeturk, but it's scarred his son for life. Imagine changing to become a better man all because someone was nice to you, but whoops. Patricide. That's a twist I didn't forsee but it piques my intrigue. Will Bob return to Guel with a massive revenge scheme as CEO of Jeturk industries?
But speaking of parents and children...
Posting this entire scene because I wanted to showcase, beginning to end, how informative this is for what follows next. We have Suletta fearful for her life, shocked by seeing her mother kill. She's completely shaken, yet calms once Prospera repeats the philosophy we've been hearing the whole show. The light shines upon Prospera as she offers her hand, appearing angelic in spite of the killing. You can see the moment Suletta internalizes this. Killing for those you love is just; fighting gains you two, running would mean losing someone. She moves forward and pilots Aerial as Prospera demands. It's a subtle manipulation, and from Suletta's wide-eyed stare (similar to another episode where she's desperate to believe her mother) she accepts this new reality.
Tumblr media
Small aside, I like this brief confirmation Aerial can communicate detailed things to Suletta despite only appearing as lights and a whale-like sound to us. Very interesting.
Now onto the penultimate scene.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Messed up and shocking as this is, I found it completely in character. I don't think she's snapped or anything like that, merely accepted her mother is right and killing for another person to survive is an acceptable trade. Her unnatural cheer in this scene is unnerving, but I read this as her desperately trying to keep herself and Miorine calm; she's acting the same as always to downplay the gruesome reality.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So she does what she has always done and mimics Prospera, positioning herself in the same way. All the while she's oblivious to how horrifying her behavior comes across. Yet it doesn't escape us, nor poor Mio. I would not be surprised if Prospera used that phrase as a means of conditioning Suletta to do what she asks.
Tumblr media
From groom to murderer in the span of one episode and cour 😔 Suletta now persona non grata. It's cruel to leave us here until April but also brilliant ngl. I can't wait to see how our fav couple navigates this conflict. All is fair in love and war.
I do love this shot though, bookends are my weakness.

Lmao I could not stop thinking about this all day like i absolutely need a oneshot like this😭😭😭.
I know Castin most likely not gonna be allowed near his wife during the birth of their child/children, but like if he was allowed he would be hella nervous throughout the process. I feel like he would be those husbands that would act like doctors (with no background or knowledge) telling his wife to push hard, not to stop, push in a certain position, telling them to calm down, lowkey lying saying that they're almost finished when they barely started😔. Mind you Castin is saying this with only good intentions only wanting to make sure that the baroness/Celica doesn't go through any complications, but boy does he annoy the hell out of her. At one point she stopped screaming and pushing only to silently turn her head to Castin and give him one of the most deadest glares he has ever received in his entire life time of living (in the room filled with nurses or doctors). 😂😂😂This would be the first time Castin has ever heard his wife say something so fowl and full of curses let alone be on the receiving end of it.
I'm sorry that I don't have time to write a oneshot now, but I can give you a scenario, Anon!
-
I imagine everyone who is important to the couple would be there during the birth: Lilia, Rhett, Isolde, Reyes, Dolion, and Rex would be waiting outside of the birthing room. The doctors, nurses and even Ezekiel are right there in the room to help assist the Baroness.
Castin would be pacing around, anxiety literally dripping off of him while the ladies snacked on and the men were trying to calm him down.
Lilia, carefully peeling an apple for them and the Baroness: Castin, sit your ass down before you give everyone a migraine. Oh! Excuse me, Your Majesty.
Queen Isolde: It's cool. I've heard worse from Rhett.
Rhett: Beloved -
Castin: Guys! Hello!? Why aren't y'all freaking out about this!? It's been hours since my wife went into labour!
Dolion: We know. We can read the time, brother.
Rex: Sarcasm won't help the Commander calm down, Dolion. Be more empathetic, please.
Castin: Guys!?
Rhett: Castin! Take a deep breath and sit down already! The Baroness is in good and, more importantly, CAPABLE hands. You panicking won't help -
The doors to the maternity room burst open. A very pissed-off-looking doctor stomps out, effectively silencing everyone.
Doctor: May I remind everyone that the Baroness now requires peace!? If none of you can keep it down, then I am forced to use my authority and banish all of you until further notice.
Castin, now super distressed: But...
That's when a scream broke out. One filled with pain. No one could stop him as Castin after that. Not even Rhett, for he rushes past the doctor and hurried to the Baroness' beside. Startling the nurses.
There, lying in bed with immense pain and sweating profusely is the entire reason why Castin's heart beats.
Castin, panicking now, oh boy: Babe! Babe, are you alright!?
The Baroness is now glaring at him: Yes, husband. I'm having that time of my fucking life!
Everyone in the room, including Castin, winces. But he's determined to help her in any way he can. He snatches a wet cloth from a startled nurse and carefully dabs his wife's face; not realising that he forgot to squeeze the damn thing and now her pillow and face are drenched with water.
The Baroness, furious now: CASTIN -
Castin: You're alright, babe. A-OK! Just try to breathe in more deeply and keep pushing!
An aggravated nurse: Commander, the head isn't even crowning yet! Please leave so we can -
Castin: Nah, nah, the sooner she pushes the better, right!? You're doing great! Hahaha! No need to panic! You want any water? Snacks? I can feed you!
The Baroness: Castin, get the fuck out of my room before I cut your balls out!
Cue the contractions again and this time, she screams louder than before. Rhett, Reyes, Dolion and Rex finally broke into the room to drag Castin away. NSDJKFNKJDSF WHAT A MESS!

hi! I love shoot your shot/conviction immensely and just finished my eighth (maybe?) read through of it. then I was checking tumblr tags and saw you did some "dvd commentaries" which was a fun bonus treat! I was wondering if you had any other thoughts about the series that never made it into the fics/asks? I've also been laughing to myself imagining people in the courthouse being like "I wonder what Howard's up to" and Jimmy and Kim just have to suffer in silence. Or sometime later a rumor (1/2)
(2/2) spreads that maybe somehow Howard's involved with Lalo? and Cliff is just like "I can't believe Jimmy is spreading rumors again 😔 I'll have to correct everyone." Anyway, thank you for such lovely fics and I hope you have a wonderful day!
aaaaah thank you so much! EIGHTH omg that is heartwarming 😭 Also “I wonder what Howard is up to” omg dying at the idea of rumours just trickling back up to ABQ. People all like "Oh I heard Howard's getting involved in some non-profit down in Mexico, that's so great of him!" And Jimmy and Kim knowing full well this has to be a cartel front like "Hnnngh".
And I’ve been trying to think of some ‘deleted scenes’ the past week! I don’t think there were any actual full SCENES I wanted to include and didn’t, other than the ‘theatre school’ background, which I worked into Conviction. Other than that, the fic turned out pretty similarly to the outline, give or take a few things that popped up organically. Although I definitely had a lot of behind-the-scenes headcanons about the characters, or random thoughts that didn’t end up getting explicitly worked in! Like these aren't new thoughts to the fic or anything, I'm just expanding on them a little more. Not sure if it's what you had in mind, but here are some NOW!
Wardo/Eduardo
I was soooo looking forward to giving Howard a nickname! Something about ‘Howie’ wasn’t doing it for me, and I also wanted something more Spanish. It didn’t take long to think of ‘Wardo’ which I LOVED the sound of, and, AND, it has the bonus of also being a nickname for Eduardo. So I liked them having yet another thing in common, and even their names being flip sides of the same coin:3 I also liked the idea of narcissistic Lalo sort of naming Howard in his image lol. There are parts in Conviction where I make references to Lalo ‘carving’ Howard like a kind of Pygmalion, so I think the ‘Wardo’ nickname fits in with that well.
Howard's mental state
One thing that didn’t get touched on a whollllle lot in the comments is what a bad headspace Howard is in in this fic. He’s not exactly suicidal, but there is a definitely a sort of shrugging self-destructive tendency. I see him as over the worst of his s4 breakdown, but even if he doesn’t actively want to die, he can’t really imagine the rest of his life either. So while I think a more mentally-healthy Howard would have pulled away from Lalo sooner, this Howard has much less self-preservation. As far as he’s concerned, even if Lalo DID snap and kill him, would that really be the worst thing? It’s not like he’s very happy with his current life anyways. That idea comes into a play in a few ways in the fic, but probably most obviously here, after they part ways in chapter 2:
Footsteps heavy, Howard forced himself to walk back across the empty lot, not sure why he felt so tired. He knew he’d dodged a bullet and that he was lucky to be walking back into his offices at all, but…
In some ways, he couldn’t help but think a bullet would have gone down smoother.
Oh Howard...the poor guy would almost rather get killed than continue his current life trajectory:S There are for sure other reasons he’s into Lalo, not just the appealing threat of danger, but the constant threat that Lalo could put him out of his misery is...not the turn-off it should be for him. Anyways, Howard's certainly no pushover in this fic, but he is more fragile in this fic than he thinks he is, and in a very good space to get corrupted. And fortunately - or unfortuantely - Lalo likes a project!
Cappuccino
His cappuccino for Cheryl has a peace sign as a literal peace offering, so his cappuccino for Lalo has a leaf on it. Ya know. Because he’s turning over a new leaf. Anyway lol. Follow for more heavy-handed coffee metaphors ☕ 
Lalo as a Chuck-like figure
I’d talked before about how part of Lalo’s appeal to Howard in this fic is the sense of excitement he represents, and I think that’s fairly evident in the fic. But one thing I didn’t really explore is that in some ways Howard might have seen Lalo as a new Chuck. While Howard can lead, I don’t think he actually likes the role of leader very much in this fic. I think he feels more comfortable following someone with a stronger personality. And I think he latches onto Lalo as that someone. He used to being the second in command to someone difficult, extremely intelligent, charismatic but with an edge, and also someone who requires a particular “handling”. And so Howard’s “only I can understand this man, he needs me, I’m just helping him” approach to Lalo comes easily because he already had that dynamic with Chuck.
ALSO, one thing I reeeeally wish I’d worked in, is the way Howard’s relationship ended with Chuck, and how it would have been extra rationale for him attaching himself to Lalo. I think the fact that he betrayed Chuck - and felt such guilt - would only make his sense of loyalty to Lalo even stronger. He already let down one person close to him, and that person wound up dead. So of course he could never do the same thing to Lalo. Even if what Lalo does is ethically wrong, he needs Howard’s sympathy not his judgement! Howard learned this the hard way with Chuck, and takes it to an extreme with Lalo.  Howard absolutely would have used this as a justification for siding with Lalo, and would have rationalized it as the ‘right thing to do’.
Howard’s sexual experience
It’s mentioned in the fic that Howard’s slept with men twice before Lalo, but I think he’s had a little more experience than that. Howard’s approaching the idea of ‘sex’ from a sort of heteronormative point of view, where sex = penetration. So I do believe Howard’s only tried that twice, but he’s probably experimented before that, enough to know that yes it is something he is in fact interested in. There’s “that one time in Tahoe” where he ‘properly’ slept with a man for the first time, took the top role, and it was probably an incredible experience for him. We also know Howard had a not-that-great experience with bottoming that didn’t get that far, and I imagine that was the second time he had sex with a man (aka Phoenix lol). I think the first time was so good he felt it was worth exploring again, but the second time was maybe more physically unpleasant for him. So that was enough to convince him that he could hang that part of his life back up in the closet and shut the door. But there’s not enough room in the closet for Howard’s yearnings AND all those suits lol, one was going to have to spill out again. 
Also in chapter 1 when his sexual experiences were mentioned, initially I imagined they were both affairs while still married to Cheryl. But then as I continued to write Howard and got to know him better, I found the idea unlikely. I think the first time was pre-Cheryl, and the second time was maybe while he was dating Cheryl, but before they got more serious. He would have considered it ‘one last experiment’ before settling down with Cheryl, and was maybe even relieved he didn’t enjoy it as much, making it easier to choose the more socially acceptable lifestyle.
(also while we’re talking about sex lol, in some ways I find it unlikely they didn’t use a condom in chapter 4. Two mostly self-aware queer guys who would have been young men in the 80s? Probs not lol. But again, Howard’s a little self-destructive in this fic!)
Gunplay
Normally I don’t really plan out sex scenes and kind of just like to follow the characters and see what they do. But that being said,  I knew gunplay was definitely going to feature at some point in this fic as a sexier spin on canon lol. In an early outline I actually imagined them NOT parting ways in chapter 4, and having a whole ‘montage sequence’ of them starting an affair, leading to this:
Tumblr media
There were different ideas for this scene, some involving Howard being more involved in the gun use and actually turning it back on Lalo a little. But in the end I like how it worked out, and the way it became a kind of surrender for Howard. Also I’d never written anything remotely as kinky as gunplay before lmao, and YET...I really don’t find it that kinky to be honest, at least not the way the scene is framed. Like sure it’s a little fucked up of them lol but c’mon, it’s romantic! It’s about being recognized! They’re absolute freaks here, but they’re freaks who see each other!! As far as gunplay goes, theirs was pretty sweet lol. Anyways, Howard needed to let go, and Lalo needed someone to want all of him, and I love that that’s what the scene turned into. It’s definitely a key turning point for both characters, and so I like that it sort of feels like the fic’s ‘water cooler’ moment <3
Aaaaaanyways, there were sooooo many things about each character that I had in mind while writing, and wish I could have included it all. But at a certain point, then it starts become more of a manifest than an actual story. I could have crammed in all these ideas more explicitly, but it would have been at the expense of flow. It felt better for characters reveal themselves through action, and still operate within the structure of a story. But hopefully some of these things came across, whether as text or subtext or what!
Oh yeah, one final thing I wanted to do but didn’t: have them order takeout from pollos hermanos lmao. I love the idea of them holed up in a motel room somewhere with a pollos bag and cups on the nightstand in the background, but it just...didn’t work lol. But we can dream.
Thanks soooo much again for your nice words, and also for giving me the opportunity to ramble about my blorbos! They defs live in my brain now so it’s nice to shake them around again <3 Might pop back with some extra thoughts on Lalo's side of their whole courtship because he was going through his own progression in terms of falling for Howard, but this was getting LONG!

ↀOUBLE IIROUBLE - CHAPTER ONE
AND OMG???? stop rae you didn't have to make such a bop 🤭🤭
Yeon-jin and sa-ra🤨🤨 I see what you're doing rae I see
And I love that fact that both of them do different sports it shows how different they are from each other like rugby and basketball? Two whole different things
"Were all that we have...just eachother....right after our mom had...." had what?🤨🤨
"Aren't you ganna introduce me?" NOOOO WE DONT LIKE YOU‼️‼️‼️ bet she will become one of our issues in the future, I can sense it
Heejeong's silver ash hair color and heeseung's jet black strands was enough to set the boys apart" pls heeseung's jet black hair looked so good on him omg 😫😫😫 like I died and was brought back to live bc of that hair 😔 and heejeong in silver???? Stop i cant😣
THE PICTURES YOU INSERTED???? you want me dead.
"Dont be nervous...shhh" SIR NOW IM EVEN MORE NERVOUS ???? WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP OUR Y/N???????
"Good girl...." goodbye, This person is official dead. How are you feeling after killing me rae?
"You thought it kind of him to treat to just as any brother would have towards their sister"
"If only you looked up fora moment and caught the boy's eye ravishing your face and body as he raised a brow in peaked interest" yes sister and brother 🤓
"Directly towards......you....." dead again.
THE VID???? pls rae stop i cant anymore😔😔
Also you were supposed to get this yesterday but I fell asleep halfway through so... here it is😔😔
okay, the way i laughed in reading this lol. Silky, my dear silky, you're killing me. I posted chapter 2 and 3 too, they're on the masterlist that's pinned on my home page ;)
so yes....i used the names of the buillies from The Glory, and these bitches are inspired by those girls. ;)
The boys with their own set of gifts for each sport...yoo...be prepared for some juicy content relating to their talents.
You'll see what that comment was about their mother in a much later chapter. But for now....i cannot spoil. shhhhh ;)
I love the black and silver hair, so that's why i made twin versions lol.
with the pictures, hehehehehe i'm soooo glad you liked them. but i dont want you dead! :( come back to meeeeee silky!
Okay, now heeseung with the whole hand under the table and his comments....like that already eluded alot of tension. but also (when you get to chapters 2 and 3) those smaus are giving off lots of tension too.
and the way they interact with you is just...*muah!* i love it. its kind of dangerous, forbidden, secretive, but ooooh so sexy.
I LOVE THAT VIDEO!
and no worries my fine Silky, enjoy yourself and catch up. I finsihed part 1 of Aftermath yesterday as well, alot of my content got erased so i have to retype the final chapter of SE7EN so while i'm working on that, i'm pushing out the new series chapters since i have the base line for each one. ;)

Tumblr back in the days must be hectic, oh i wish i was here to experience that :(
Since i am on tumblr. Two of the accounts that i have followed are no longer active. One of them, who i used to interact with, desactivate her account and i just notice that yesterday… I know there are motives to her decision but I still am shocked.
I share the same opinion as anon, Bub if you ever decide to leave tumblr please tell us. And please let us now where or how we can reach out to you, if decided so. Althought, it is so fun to interact with you here. You genuinely bring us happiness and comfort especially with your stories. But whatever it is and of course the best for you, we wouldn’t go against your decision ngl tho i’ll be sad :( guilty sorry
Oh and hi beautiful, outside that, how are you? I am back after my mini break. I decided to go to London last minute lol, thought it will help me a bit but even there bangtan was everywhere went to a kbbq, they blasted seven then proceed with bangtan songs, spring day was my last straw.. Oh and I also found myself another book that made me cry again lol, finished reading it in two days! Otherwise i feel rested and ready to binge read every single update you’re gonna give us, cmi11.5? another one shot? argh, I still can’t get over cmi latest update🥹
axelle hi 🥺 it was hectic in a fun way! we were all here supporting each other, or in networks, talking all day. it was an easier time, honestly, when there wasn't as much negativity or odd envy between people 😭 i do miss a lot of those who have left, though sigh. i'm sorry some of the accounts you liked aren't around anymore either :(
and i will <3 i definitely do not want to make such a decision without telling you guys, bc you've given me so much and it'd be so unfair of me to do that. it'd need so much courage, too, though. but i'm… also so emo over the fact that you feel that way about me. i appreciate you so much, and can assure each one of you that you've been an anchor and comfort and joy and fun to me. ily ily ily and please don't be sad <3
i'm okay, love. life's just been… a struggle haha but i'm glad you're back and doing better and finding good books to read 🥺 awh shucks, the london trip turning into a bts sob fest ufdksjfks i'm sorry!! still hope you had fun!! AND YES 11.5 and a oneshot on their way!!! i also saw your review to cmi11 and i swear, i adore you fr 😔🤍

tag 9 people you want to get to know better
[the thing is 9, but i've got 4 :) ]
i was tagged by @braceletofteeth
fhfhf thank you sm <333
i was asked yesterday on tellonym is there anyone you want to know better and i thought of my tumblr moots so hell yeah let's go~~
(i say all enthusiastically as if i have the ability to start conversations 😔✋️✋️)
three ships
no stop there is no possible way for me to narrow this down to three, i've watched far too many shows
we shall attempt 💪💪
- kinnporsche
vegaspete could definitely be up here too, but i'll stick with kinn and porsche (also porsche is my all time favourite character so of course he's up here)
- moonjo x jongwoo from strangers from hell
whatever they had going on was not heterosexual and i will be standing by that
- sae-bom & yi-hyun from happiness
a healthy relationship being on this list? fake marriage, childhood friends, found family, of course they're here. happiness has to be one of my favourite shows and bfhfhdh i adore them
first ever ship
i definitely had some in childhood but the one that i'm really thinking of has to be mulder and scully from the x-files
they consumed my 10/11 year old brain, and continued to do so until i was maybe 12/13
last song
youtube
timezone by måneskin
their new album is actually so good, and this is probably my favourite song from it
it's giving kimchay au imo
nah i really need to write a kimchay fic because i've got ideas but the words aren't wording
last movie
eternal summer, and i think this letterboxd review summarises it very well [spoilers firstly]::
Tumblr media
it was a solid 3.5/5 i'd say, but especially considering it's from 2006- oh my god,,
currently reading
i literally haven't read a whole book since about summer last year and i feel awful-
anyway
various stuff on ao3, mainly kinnporsche, but a few gap stuff, some goncharov (the fics are so good istg), and yeah dude a lot
i've got 488 fics downloaded–
yEahh
currently watching
- gap
let's fucking go sapphics
it's perhaps a bit all over the place, but i have been in desperate need of sapphics, and it hasn't disappointed
- all of us are dead
(rewatch) korea just does zombies so much better. su-hyeok x cheong-san, and mi-jin x ha-ri supremacy
- between us
i haven't watched it in a little while because i wasn't feeling amazing and wanted stuff i knew well, hence going back to aouad, but i've got to ep 4 (and omg omg), and will be resuming at some point soon hopefully
i'm also gonna mention stuff i recently finished because aaaaa
- vincenzo
went in expecting a dark mafia show, got a comedy mafia show (and i am SO here for it)
- till the world ends
i need other people to watch this for my own sanity, had me sobbing at 2am last sunday when i finished it
currently consuming
do you consume oxygen–
currently craving
no more writers block would be nice :)
i haven't had it for so long and i thought i was free, but uh no :(
i am vaguely writing though besties (30 wips 😩✋️ send help)
tagging
of course there's no obligation to continue this <33

helloooo you rbd the "ask me about my ocs" post from me so i am here to ask you abt them (even if you said youre not good at answering them. 😔🤝😔)
i would like to know... anything! about ur ocs :] but i know from experience vauge questions r hard to answer so maybe some trivia? like, howd you choose their names or designs. thatd be cool doesnt have to be the sol ones either !! or i think ur sol ones are also repurposed ones? so their original forms would be cool too. either way i would find it interesting :D
you are so nice to me
AND YOU KNOW ACTUALLY? NAMES & DESIGNS I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF JUST NOW "OH THEY AREN'T THAT INTERESTING" THEN I REMEMBERED NO? THEY BOTH HAVE NAME-AND-DESIGN STORIES? that I find funny anyway........
also i realise how long this is IM PUTTING IT UNDER A READ MORE.
the readmore fucking MOVED?
& ONLY cassius was repurposed . though like before SoL he was . essentially nothing . rotting in my beloveds toyhouse-folder w TWO images (NOW HE'S GOT THE MOST IN MY TH AT... 40...) because I didnt know what to do with him (and it's like... i don't wanna move him out D:) & then i made him in SoL and i think a neuron fired or something idk what happend . the moment I drew him w short hair it all went downhill i think . Anyway, so original cassius, he's named after (coughs) Cassius by Foals . I SAY THIS EVERY OTHER DAY I FEEL "LISTEN TO CASSIUS BY FOALS" (LINKED, THIS TIME.) BUT HE CAME ABOUT COS I SAW A TEMPT6T VIDEO WITH UHH
Tumblr media
SOMEONE AS THE GEN 4 GUITARIST. AND FOR DAYS I WAS IN A STATE OF LIKE... ILLNESS? "I NEED TO NAME SOME OC CASSIUS" (....) "I WANNA MAKE THAT GUY AN OC" (....) oh mon dieu now there's a blonde guy in my brain . what the fuck . what the hell? who let him in dude dude dude dude what the hell . tangent but he even was in a band. at first. cos of course he was . a band, fun fact, based on AN OLD POKEMON BAND I HAD . WHICH I HADN'T TOUCHED IN YEARS . BUT cassius was based (i say based loosely) on a shiny minccinno/cincinno named "S I N" so that's fun & the bassist (i.e.) the only other one i . sketched (half-finished?) . i wanna say "oh haha he looks like alfie but with glasses on" but he doesn't . not at all ??? he would have had the same colour hair though. so that's like... the exact same character then
Tumblr media Tumblr media
see. him? i wanted to put him here he hasn't seen the light of day in months . ok . where was i . oh yeah this was dropped pretty quickly cos i didnt know what to do with them LOL. now long-haired cassius has been repurposed AGAIN to be cassius' older brother in........the loathingverse! which is cool :-)
& even like i tried so hard to make him fit with the song back when but it NEVER worked and then he gets LOATHING'D AND NOW HE FITS? what the hell man
.
also alfie. alfie oh my god alfie can i say? can i start? do not look at me strangely for this but
Tumblr media
this was who he was based on. alfie from fucking blue y . i dont know how i found him nor why i wanted to make a character named alfie because of it but i did AND i needed a name for my achievement hunter (which i portmanteaued, horribly, into his last name) save file(s). So alfie achivunter it was.......... and AND THIS IS WHY HE'S LIKE. THE "DOG GUY". and thats why he looked like THIS at one point :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but i was making his ref & i was like. dear lord this looks atrocious . so im pretty sure i colourpicked from like . ron inside job or something (i distinctly remember being like "this sucks" "what if i made him look like ron instead" & i did) instead and now he looks NORMAL except NOW HE LOOKS LIKE CONNOR SCP CONTAINMENT AND RON INSIDE JOB???? like okay i feel mental every time i say this but like come ON . COME ON?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Exact Same Man. ok???? i feel like a detective gone mental pointing to a board with red threads and photos like DON'T YOU SEE? IT'S ALL CONNECTED!!! THEY LOOK THE FUCKING SAME!!!!!!! THESE THREE LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and fun fact alfie is short for alfred he really cannot win . have i said this before? i probably have
& one last thing I guess
Tumblr media
these little dots beneath the eyes . it basically means he's got a little evil in him OR really, IMPOSSIBLE TO GET FORESHADOWING. unless you .... know...... the cosmosdex??? yeah. i thought itd fit AND right beneath ALL OF MY OTHER INSANITY. WITH AN ACTUAL LITTLE TRIVIA POINT? HUUUUM. OKAY?

the long awaited nui izlo rambling is finally here!! leaving it all below the read more bc. i don't know how to shut up
(i'm copy pasting this w little to no edits from a twt thread so. sorry if the formatting is icky kasdgh)
this fic was brought to u by 1. my own darling nuis and my izumi nui does have a tear by his eye and 2. leo merch collector is such a fun concept to me
Tumblr media
the concept of izumi being in italy while leo is away was something that lived in my head for a while ngl and there was a point where this was going to be a meowzart fic, like izumi moping around the apartment and meowzart being her cute little self. i think at one point i did have a sort of companion piece if you want to call it that, like leo would be the one at the apartment w izumi out of the country (also a meowzart fic) and the only part i actually wrote for that is what I lovingly call ace izlo
also. back to my izunui for a minute, I did try to do surgery on him but the eye embroidery is too thick to do w just a normal little sewing needle 😔😔 but he's my darling little guy and he's perfect the way he is, I just have to be careful with him 🥺
anyway! let's start w the title. this song I think is the reason I started writing mushy lines towards the end lmao, it's izlo coded to me, like pls consider (it's also in my bb playlist ✌ idk it's so izumi -> leo to me)
Tumblr media
I make it my life's goal that izumi never knows one second of peace lmao (also somewhat unrelated, i do have this wip idea of their dormmates having to deal w them bc i think it's funny and. i miss that idea (is fully capable of still writing it))
Tumblr media
i feel like this point comes up in . so many of my wips (I think it's honestly just me feeling like it does but. still) and I just,,, man post checkmate, the way you live in my head
Tumblr media
izumi is so. easily swayed when it comes to leo (thank u rhythm tourism for confirming that for me <33) (I like to think that leo is somewhat aware of this fact) but yeah that comes up so much in this fic and I think it's so fun bc. sorry to say but izumi is such a loser
Tumblr media
izumi cardboard cutout is such a funny one to me, leo would so have one. anyway, reloaded reference 🎉 also. the izumi calendar being a canon thing might be one of the best things happyele has done, unfortunate I'm p sure they'll be skipping it in engstars 😔
Tumblr media
I feel like I'll end up forgetting to mention it, but like recital, the way izumi refers to leo nui changes over the course of the fic (aka after day five, izumi starts referring to leo nui w gendered pronouns fkdksl) they had a bonding moment <33
this is probably my favorite part of the fic ngl like honestly. I don't even think I can make fun of izumi here bc I think something that grossly domestic would fix me too (but it's still so funny to be like. izumi wakes up in a bad mood and his first thought of how to fix it is to imagine a whole scenario w leo that is soft but. maybe he really is onto something)
Tumblr media
the day three naruritsu call is bc i started writing nui izlo last august which was a month before nrrt week and they were in my head so bad (they haven't left). and then I was like haha what if I write the date for nrrt week before the fic is finished. and now this year it's like,, haha what if i (hopefully will actually write the date this time but also. as a small aside, the concept of arashi having to be straight up told it's a Real Date and not a friend date is so good in this essay i)
this is supposed to be bc they're not speaking a language izumi personally knows how to speak, so only certain words make sense think of it when you hear someone speaking another language and there's loan words or cognates that you recognize even if u don't know what's being said
Tumblr media
I said it in the a/n but this part and all of day five is that even though they're past the events of checkmate and everything that came from it, things aren't magically like. Perfect, yk? like they found their way back to each other and knights didn't fall apart but that doesn't mean that everything that happened then doesn't bother them to some extent. like just look at next door and mr they can't know i care taking the earliest flight to japan w limited knowledge of what's going on + leo leaving in the first place bc of an argument like I can go on for a while (so much of ! was izlo figuring shit out bc of what happened between them so i mean,, it's definitely still prominent in their lives even if it's in the past).
Tumblr media
he's funny for being like wait can someone hear me rn, their conversation is happening in japanese lmao
Tumblr media
happy brief trans leo mention, this part also makes me so like. giggles kicks feet and idk why exactly. anyway leo is trans, it just never really comes up in my writing so fkxksl (is anyone in knights really cis? the answer is no)
Tumblr media
day five aka the radio silence day is so,,, I wanted to have a day like this in here but I felt like I was being a little dramatic abt it but i was like well. izumi knows that leo is probably busy and they're in a better space now, but all things considered, I do think he'd worry. I mean izumi is worrier #1 but fkdks that's not the point. by this point, he has mostly stopped blaming himself for checkmate but u do have to realize that next door did happen and he did make leo leave that time, that one was all him so,, but even outside of that, I don't think izumi is like. Concerned about it every time that leo stops talking to him or is out of the country, but in this situation, he already misses leo and they'd talked for a while the day before then to wake up to hear absolutely nothing is not fun. (i probably have more but idk where i'm going w this rip) I just think there's something there, yk? like idk they're a little (very much) attached to each other
requiem reference (izumi will never live it down sorry). was going to talk abt their relationship and the use of partner rather than boyfriend but. idk.
Tumblr media
niki's kitchen is such a funny circle to me bc they really just. have a signed framed picture of izumi there for the meetings so gkdksm obligatory mention (plus I do think izumi is Aware that niki knows what he's doing in the kitchen so he'll actually take his advice)
Tumblr media
when I was planning this fic out, this part was going to be a little different; izumi wasn't going to realize he had leo nui until he was in the store and he looks down into the bag and there's a little guy in there but mckslsl
Tumblr media
I think this is so cute and I'm specifically pointing it out so you all agree w me. like idk izumi would think leo's dumb alien shirts r so fucking ugly but that's the first thing he's putting on when leo is out of the country for any extended period of time
Tumblr media
reference to something in recital I haven't written yet (the concept of a person being your home rather than a place and what it means when you destroy that person and you're left without anyone to return to :) )
Tumblr media
this part has been in my head for Months, like nearly since I started it. like,,, man I wish I could draw without having a meltdown bc I hate it bc,,,, the soft leo in my head in this part makes me want to eat glass (also haha izumi sena grossly in love)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that's everything,,, (is probably most definitely forgetting about something)

Heeeeyyyyyy!! Im really sorry for the late reply, I was busy for the past week!!
I got around to starting CAW manga!! it is *really* good. I personally prefer it to the anime!! I had to read it from the start bc I forgot almost everything about the plot and now that I have read it back to back, I am surprised by how connected it is! I thought the chapters would be unrelated to each other and instead focusing on the educational aspect of the show, but it is surprisingly very well paced! (I haven't finished it yet though)
BASOPHIL BEING 1146 AND EOSINOPHIL'S SENPAI?? OH MY GOD???
I really didn't expect him to look like a shoujo love interest this is so funny
He takes off his mask and it's the most gorgeous guy you have ever seen.
I ALSO read the first part of the abnormalities series!!!
GOOD GOD GOODNESS GRACIOUS. 3803 my POOR GIRL. Her insurance better cover the much needed therapy sessions
I *really* liked the parallels with her and cancer being abnormal. I never thought of it that way.....
ALSO THE BIT WITH THE FAKE 1145 CAP?? THAT WAS VILE LMFAOOO
HE IS GOING TO HELL FOR THIS
The part in me who usually doesn't care about shows plots and just wants everyone to be friends wishes there could be a timeline where cancer is their *harmless* friend, but alas.
+ NK looks SOO adorable, Macrophage is as gorgeous as well. I really love it when girls look up to other girls 😔🙏
Thanks for the good read and hope u have a great day!! :DDD
No need to apologize! Heheh, we all have our lives to live, I'm just happy that you're okay! :D
Anyway, nice! I loved the manga when I first read it in 2018! It was really great and I love the little tidbits about actual cell biology and science! And yeah, the arcs sort of move into each other seamlessly, often bringing characters from the past into the present arc (depending on what pathogen/teratogen is in the body).
Yeah! He's their senpai! He's adorable and I wish he didn't have to cover himself up all the time, but he was just so adorable as a younger basophil, hahah! Even then he was still very msyterious!
Oh my gosh! You're reading it? Yooooooo! It's been a while, I hope you aren't too traumatized! :D
One of the main reasons why I made Abnormalities was because of the parallels I noticed and how I perceived their interactions would go. I'm glad that you were hooked on it!
And yes, I am that evil! I remember having so much writing that chapter, I wanted to break AE-3803 while simultaneously making sure that Cancer was a menace both physically and psychologically.
Timeline where Cancer is their friend… Well, there is the rest of the Abnormalities series… The series is an overarching plot where AE-3803, U-1146, and Cancer confront their persnoal demons, weaknesses, and what it's like to have their roles predetermined in the body. I wouldn't say true redemption is in the cards for Cancer, but AE-3803 eventually talk it out.
More love for the CAW girls!
Thank you so much for the kind words and you are very much welcome! I hope that you have a wonderful day! :D

MINT!!! FOR YOUR ASK GAMEEEE
9, 17, 29 and 40 please!!
I hope that finals have been going smoothly <3 <3
-Sherry
HI SHERRY MY LOVE!! thank you for sending these in <3333 i'm sorry i rambled a little >.< finals are going good!! i finished 2 papers today, both of which were my biggest worries and the next two are in a week!! thankies for asking <3
9. Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know.
personally, no. i think my parents do, but i've always been more of a see-to-believe kind of person. not that i want a ghost to appear before me !! would very much like to avoid that !! that being said, i do Not watch horror. never have, never will. i was born a coward.
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.
CURRENT WIP 😭😭😭 which one is the better question 😔 but i think i'll talk about behold the sun !! the amount of reading i've done (and have yet to do) for this series is more than i've normally had to do but it's been so fun weaving in bits of mythology and history to the characters. for example, the title itself has a lot to do with japanese mythology and history. don't want to spoil anything but it relates to the origins of the yamato dynasty and shinto deities. the seasons will also play an important part in the timeline!! god, it's been a hot minute since i've worked on behold the sun so i'm pretty sure i'm forgetting stuff but yeah! that's the gist i guess
29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?
honestly, i never have a lot of trouble when it comes to inspiration. it comes randomly (when i'm in the shower) and usually when i least expect it (when i'm in the shower). most of the time it's from music, especially soundtracks because i always want to try to capture the feeling the music invokes. it's weird, but do you ever listen to a song and think "oh god, i want to write this. i want to write whatever this song is saying."
as for when inspiration runs dry, i usually take a shower. but real talk, when i feel like things aren't working, i take a step back because i believe that you can't force writing. and also because you shouldn't force writing. ultimately this is a hobby, and it supposed to be fun. the minute it loses that is when you need to take a step back and reevaluate.
40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.
oh my lord, i can't write poems to save my life so here is one that is the core of another WIP of mine:
before i came to know you, love, 
little my life was worth to me, 
i prize it now all things above,
and wish long in this world to be 
fujiwara no yoshitaka
WRITER ASK GAME.
