I'll make a post about it later but I swear the WORST advice I see being passed around in art circles is that art is a popularity contest and the only possible way to make money off of art, especially online, is to get popular first. Like that is BLATANTLY false.
The art community CONSTANTLY has to remind artists how damaging the numbers game is, and I think a huge reason why is because of how common a misconception it is that you have to be popular to make a living. It feels like the second I leave my specifically curated tumblr art community, I am bombarded with this idea.
#simon says#rant#delete later maybe#i made this bc I was watching a youtube video about how harmful fast fasion is for artists#and in the comments someone was talking about how they gave up on commissions bc no one ever bought them even though their prices were low#and someone responded by saying that the artist had to do youtube bc making a living was a popularity context#and I quote: 70% popularity 30% talent#and the first person said they were fucked because they had autism and social anxiety and couldn't do youtube#i instantly jumped in and made a long ass comment correcting this#giving advice on how to get more commissions and build an audience for themselves#while telling them that the person telling them it's about popularity is SUPER wrong#I now understand why there's ALWAYS a post about ignoring the numbers game getting popular#I totally fell into the same pitfall where I thought I had to get famous first before making a living#working with an artist as a studio assistant and deleting twitter has helped me stomp that mindset out#it's just not true yall. you don't need popularity you need passion#anyways I wanted to rant about this because I never realized that people were like... ACTUALLY telling young artists this#I thought that it was a mindset folks naturally fell into (like me) but it turns out people are just... blatently saying it#you're actively discouraging artists if you say shit like that btw#that's kinda why I decided to rant it just made me so mad like bro you are being a dick rn and preventing someone from creating#like the numbers game totally stops a lot of artists from creating what they like bc it won't do well#when you spread that idea that popularity is what makes an art career you are hurting so many artists#like I understand HOW the misconception starts and I understand where it comes from (once again been there done that still unlearning)#but don't spread that idea yall. it's just so shitty#anyways rant over uwu

I was just wondering if that's the only evidence you have on goldstarsappho? What they wrote sounds exaggerated (the "literally had to buy earplugs" talking about the smell even though they're in another room, the "super loud daddy dom," the "bruh") It seems like they could be lying?
Them being a TRA and finding out about gs-sappho scamming people by pretending to be trans or her GC views could have given them reasons to lie.
idk the message they wrote comes across as a troll, it's almost "too perfect"
we don't have solid evidence that she lied about her sexuality apart from the dm from the person at her uni, buuuuut we did have suspicions for months and months before they caught her scamming transanta that she was 1) attracted to men and 2) into ddlg. the former suspicion was based on her being really weird about certain men, like frequently talking about this one professor she has and how everyone apparently accuses her of wanting to fuck him just bc she took his classes and bought a book he wrote (I find it hard to believe that ppl would tease her about having a crush on this guy based just on those things alone), and she liked harry styles in a really intense way that came across as more than being just a fan of his music. like she bragged about being a harry styles expert and talked about reading fanfiction about him breastfeeding from his 4 nipples and making artisan cheese with the leftovers (🤢) and she was also convinced he was secretly bisexual but in the closet (but weirdly thought louis tomlinson was straight even though the harry styles gay/bi rumours are based on him apparently being in a relationship with louis tomlinson in the past). like her interest in harry styles went way beyond just liking his music, it came across as a weird fujo fangirl kind of interest. plus on her reddit account, there was a comment she made in the star trek sub where she mentioned writing an nsfw fanfiction about two-dicked klingons, and idk why a lesbian would write something like that. and she was quite into fandom, but never mentioned lesbian ships, only gay male ones.
and aside from the kinda odd way she talked about men, the way she talked about lesbianism itself was really weird. she said that she thought oral was gross, fingering was weird, strap ons were for fakebians only, and that vulvas were gross and she'd only touch one wearing a disposable glove. which barely leaves behind any lesbian sex acts. she isn't the most physically fit person so I doubt she has the flexibility to scissor, and does anyone just do like. humping on thighs. and never any other sex acts? in any case it doesn't rlly matter bc she talked about how she'd rather hold hands or kiss someone's wrist than have sex. plus she contradicted herself when talking about her sexual history a lot. like she said that she'd only ever had sex using dental dams and rubber gloves. but she also said she'd only had sex in prison standing up over corpses (lmao). and she'd also talked about how she liked having sex in extremely large bathtubs so big they're basically hot tubs. and she talked about how she only would have sex if her hair was curled and her makeup was done and she was wearing perfume etc, which makes it sound like she hasn't had sex yet bc she'd only want to do it under the circumstances of being very pampered beforehand. at first I thought she was a virgin and insecure about it, so that's why she kept telling sex stories that couldn't all be true at the same time. but I'm pretty sure she just lied to fit in with actual lesbians and lost track of which lies she'd already told.
and as for the ddlg stuff, it was a similar story. she was just doing things that gave off an adult baby vibe. you know how ppl with a certain kink will often bring it up out of nowhere ostensibly to make fun of it, like haha that's sooo weird who would be into that? even though nobody asked? that was her. plus she also commissioned toddler dresses (actual toddler dresses that had pictures of toddlers modelling them on the seamstresses website) in her size, which she'd spend quite a lot of money on, I checked the site and she had a ducky dress and a froggy dress from it which each cost $160. even though she claimed to live below the poverty line. plus during transanta, she scammed toddler backpacks and a $600 adult tricycle. those things by themselves aren't necessarily proof of her being into ddlg, she might just have a cutesy sense of style. but what seems to be proof is that in addition to the aforementioned items, during transanta she also added rompers from a company called littleforbig, which specialises in fetish clothing and adult pacifiers and the like for ppl into ddlg. and she knew that the company was for ddlg paraphernalia, bc she'd talked about how gross she thought it was that someone else on transanta requested things from this company on their gift registry. idk about anyone else, but as much as I like cute clothing myself (although not to the extent of going outside wearing a pinafore meant for 3 year olds in my size), I would never want to wear adult toddler clothing literally made to be fetish gear. and I certainly would not spend money on such a company, whether it's my own or tras.
plus we knew for sure that she lied about aspects of her identity just to make her positions seem more authoritative. like she was interested in indigenous canadian activism, so she claimed to have been raised by inuks and that she was a full member of the inuit nation and that she ate caribou and sewed seal skins and did soapstone carvings (she also claimed to have been raised by japanese-koreans and to have grown up in japan. and that she was roma but lived in chechnya. and probably other things I'm forgetting). and on her reddit she got into a fight with a woman on r/plussizefashion who posted pictures of her shein outfit (she claimed to be a big advocate for sustainable fashion despite scamming ridiculous amounts of cheap amazon knock off j-fashion and cartoon cosplay outfits during transanta), and in the middle of this argument started claiming she was a former child sweatshop worker from a developing country and that everyone who called her weird was tone-policing a victim. in my opinion, she probably is a bisexual who agreed with the gold stars during gold star discourse, but instead of just being honest about being a bisexual who happens to be pro-goldstar, she decided to pretend to be a goldstar herself to add more weight to her arguments. which also goes along with how her schtick of being a brown lesbian who went to jail and still didn't have sex with a man was basically a tailor-made response to the type of ngs on here who always brings up women in muslim countries being forcibly married to men as an explanation as to why they willingly slept with men (despite nearly all of them living in north america or europe and never being in a situation like that).
as for the tra on insta? it's possible that they're exaggerating, we don't have a way to know unless someone books a flight to halifax and gains entry to her student accommodation to see if you can really smell her dorm from out in the hallway or hear her having sex from another room. but we do think they at least actually know her and that some of the things they mentioned have some truth to them. mostly bc they talked about things we knew or suspected about gs sappho without us ever bringing them up first. for example, I asked sunlight-beauty (who was the one talking to them) to ask about the adult tricycle gs sappho scammed bc I was curious about what she did with it, like did she ride it around her campus in her 6x toddler dresses? or let it gather dust (that would have been such a power move tbh, tricking tras into buying her a $600 tricycle and then never using it). anyway, the person replied to this saying that yes she has a tricycle, and do you know what lolita fashion is? she rides around on the tricycle in these lolita dresses being flirty with men in a weird baby voice. we knew she definitely was interested in lolita fashion bc she'd talk about it all the time, and the tra was the first one to bring it up, sunlight-beauty hadn't prompted it. and there were some other things like that, where they casually brought up stuff we knew or suspected about gs sappho without us ever mentioning them first.
so idt the person is a troll. they could be exaggerating for sure, but there's at least grains of truth to what they said.
tdlr: we don't have definitive proof, but we did have enough circumstantial evidence that we were suspicious of gs sappho lying about her lesbianism long before the tra from her uni came into the picture

what websites i think the primarchs would use
under the cut bc it got long whoops. ive done this post several times before im fairly sure but i think its fun to reiterate old concepts to see how youve changed
lion: youtube. he turns on the camera and then just talks for like 10 minutes about an opinion he has and it inevitably unravels into saying way more about lion than he means to and then he edits it on windows movie editor w the powerpoint transitions and what not and then he posts it and he gets 30 views of dudes going hell yeah bro i feel this
fulgrim: known youtuber who got popular w gen Z on tiktok but also he has a twitter where he says shit that gets him canceled every couple of years
perturabo: niche forums. steam workshop. pinterest also
khan: reddit actually but like the chill surface level parts. like he'll be on the subs where they post interesting things and he doesn't comment anywhere like he doesn't look at the comments section even but he upvotes jpegs he likes. he's also never getting a twitter
leman: instagram. blurry gross pics but he has like a bunch of followers bc he posts working out stuff and survivalism/naturalism shit and wolves and also thirst traps. he follows a bunch of accounts of people posting pets and gym stuff and whatever else, and also a like 19 year old 5 foot 2 art student whos 90 pounds soaking wet and got into a brainrot of illustrating dramatic wolf jpegs and handsome anime werewolf dogboys due to a canine warriorcats ripoff theyre writing in their head that tickled lemans fancy bc he feels like they captured something inherent about werewolves correctly. and the 19 year old notices like a month later that leman russ is following them and they freak out and all their friends go "SHOOT YOUR SHOT SEDUCE HIM" and they dont but one time they get a little drunk and dm him and leman doesnt see it for like 7 months and the art student is like, oh i guess he didnt like the message. but then leman sees it and goes "haha how did i miss this i love your art little one would it be alrite if i commissioned you for a portrait of freki and geri" and the artist wakes up in the middle of the night to see a two hour old fresh message from leman russ. he becomes a vague internet acquaintance of theirs for a while. this got away from me sorry
rogal: gets beaten to death in the twitter qrts regularly
konrad: has a nokia phone and no computer. it's for the best
sanguinius: tiktok. i will not be elaborating
ferrus: also youtube. body health and household object repairs, ranging from macbooks to cars. gets picked up by a... circa pre-ban 2018 ish Wholesome tumblr post as a wholesome youtube channel and experiences a mild surge of subs from it. fulgrim tries to get him into tiktok but he immediately gets super mad at a dumb tiktok diskhorse or comment or whateves and gets slapped with toxicity allegations he's quite literally never beating
angron: if you gave angron a computer hed look up google dot com boob search and click on images
guilliman: also gets beaten to death on twitter but his fellow blue check havers come to defend him and it causes a "leaking at walmart"-tier e-incident for someone who's defending him
mortarion: "4chan is like mostly a pretty normal place actually the worst just kinda gets out more"
magnus: ex tumblr user who went to twitter after the dec 2018 purge. engages in copious discourse all of which he shares with perturabo who isn't listening to him but is nodding like he is. yeah of course he agrees about the elf politics in that one videogame magnus what gave you an impression otherwise (<-monotonely said) now please can you continue proofreading this like super advanced space calculus to build a wedding appropriate death ray
horus: instagram influencer and youtuber. deeply pr*blematic but has like the masc equivalent of makeup palettes out that are like really good so people buy them and then say they disavow him. got invited to game gr*mps once in like 2019
lorgar: wattpad
vulkan: reddit and tiktok specifically
corvax: tumblrina. idk if in a neil gaiman way or if he gets into disc*rse himself but there's definitely disc*rse around him
alpharius omegon: eastern european steam piracy forums

hello! may i request headcanons for chuuya having a crush on someone who's dense? like he could ask them out in the most straightforward way possible and it would still go over their head?
yes, yes of course you may!
sorry this took so long! my computer was out of commission for abt a week (or two..??)
but this is also my birthday writing piece for chuuya!! (4/29/21) i even added a small drabble thingy in addition to the hcs for the occasion hehe
from where i am, it is about fifteen minutes past midnight so it’s officially chuuya day here!!
happy birthday chuuya i love you! you deserve the whole world and everyone is willing to fight tooth and nail to ensure your happiness! we love you! 💗💗
anyways, i hope you all enjoy this! i kinda had some writer’s block but it was still a lot of fun to write! there might be some mistakes, but i’ll scan over it again later. reader is gender neutral! have fun!
Tumblr media
chuuya having a crush on a dense! reader
nakahara chuuya x gn! reader
im cackling somebody help him
he’s frustrated bc you can’t take a hint or a thousand but he can’t even be mad bc he’s whipped
“look at you all dressed up today, wanna go out later? my treat?”
“oh really? thanks chuuya-san! you’re such a nice friend. i’ll go invite the others right now, i’ll see you later!”
“...”
fast forward to later in the evening and he finds himself at a little restaurant with the black lizard + higuchi and akutagawa
sigh
in unison all of them go, “thank you for the meal chuuya-san!” (except aku and hirotsu are quieter & and gin just a nods hehe)
“no problem” (ꐦ ´͈ ᗨ `͈ )
gin only pats him on the back in sympathy
he spends a lot of time trying to think of ways to make it absolutely and undeniably clear that he has feelings for you
he always fails
“(y/n) i like you”
“i like you too chuuya-san”
“really?”
“mhm”
“t-then will you—”
“you’re a really great friend! and superior too”
“...nevermind”
“oh were you saying something?”
“nah, just forget about it”
tachihara is laughing in the corner of the corridor
dont worry, chuuya made sure to get back at him
chuuya’s been pinning after you for years and frankly, his failed attempts to woo you has lead everyone to the breaking point
and i mean everyone
yes, even aku
hell even dazai
but dazai also thinks it’s funny, so he doesn’t mind all that much
okay bye bye dazai-san this headcanon set isn’t abt you rn
PLEASE EVERYONE FEELS SO BAD FOR HIM
they knew even if he kissed you, you still might not get it
so they decided to help him
super secret mission get chuuya and (y/n) together is a go!
they’re still working on a proper mission name, don’t mind them
they had a super secret strategy meeting!
you can bet your ass that they nearly got nothing done
akutagawa & kaiji weren’t much help, neither was higuchi, mori, or elise
tachihara nearly got killed for a thoughtless comment
“just tell them chuuya-san!”
“i already fucking did you ass!”
gin, hirotsu, and kouyou were the most helpful !!
hirotsu and kouyou both agreed on the idea that chuuya should try courting with bouquets of flowers instead of flat out asking you bc they knew you found them pretty
(even if you don’t identify as a female, flowers are for everyone no matter gender or sexuality! so let’s normalize giving flowers to everyone <33 )
gin didn’t speak but she used cards to communicate
everyone knew that you weren’t stupid (you wouldn’t have survived in the mafia if you were) but they did know that you were only stupid when it came to all this lovey dovey stuff
i mean, if chuuya gave you flowers every so often, there’s no way that you wouldn’t piece it together at some point
right...??
but kouyou assured him that even though you wouldn’t get it right away, you’d appreciate the gestures and that he’ll stand out more
she even said that if someone gave her flowers, she would appreciate it, whether or not she reciprocated their feelings
it takes guts to be so up front with your feelings after all
gin and hirotsu only nodded with her explanation
once again, this only provoked a reaction out of tachihara
“what do you know gin? i get the old man and kouyou-san, they’re grown, but you? what do you know abt courting? or flowers? what are you a girl?”
akutagawa choked on his cough, higuchi on air, and on the other side of yokohoma at the ada, dazai is cackling
yes, dazai somehow placed a listening device onto chuuya’s hat and was listening in
don’t ask how, it’s dazai
“DAZAI GET YOUR BANDAGED ASS OFF THE COUCH AND STOP LAUGHING”
anyways
the next day, chuuya did what was barely discussed and for once, things actually started to look up
until they started look to down again
at first, it actually looked like you understood his intentions after he gave you a bouquet of flowers
literally everyone was leaning against the opposite hallway you two were in and then they got excited !!
especially chuuya !
but then your expression sort of changed...??
and then in their heads they simultaneously went, “oh no”
they knew that expression
it was very familiar when you tended to friend zone chuuya
but boy let me tell you what you said next made them facepalm and or make their jaws drop
“ah, so you really are friend zoning me huh chuuya-san; what a shame, i really did like you”
LEMME TELL YOU WHEN I SAY THAT CHUUYA WAS DISTRESSED I MEAN HE WAS DISTRESSED
you liked him??
him of all people??
he wasn’t complaining, no of course not, but he still couldn’t believe it
but that wasn’t what he was really focusing on right now
what in any form or language did it say he was friend zoning you?!
flower language apparently
chuuya chose to buy the bouquet of yellow roses, pink carnations, and yellow carnations bc he thought you would appreciate the brighter colors, and so that you’d remember them better (because remembering them, meant remembering him)
but ooh boy
altogether, they meant the exact opposite message he wanted to send
someone help him pls
“you see chuuya-san, yellow roses mean friendship, pink carnations mean gratitude, and yellow carnations mean rejection; sooo in a nutshell, these pretty much say ‘thank you for being my friend, but im rejecting you”
no one can tell if tachihara is crying or wheezing
and dazai is having the time of his life
yes, he started listening in on him again
and chuuya is just stunned
like speechless and unmoving stunned
is he just bad at this whole courting/dating thing?? it’s only been one day and of it and somehow he was the one doing the rejecting??
“thank you for the flowers chuuya-san, i’ll be going now; i’ll make sure to let this affect our friendship. i’ll see you tomorrow!”
you passed by the not so subtle group of people
“tachihara-kun..?? are you alright?”
just for context, he was leaning his forehead against the wall using his forearm
again, it was hard to tell whether he was crying or wheezing
“i-im okay (y/n)-san...i think c-chuuya-san has it worse than me”
“...okay..?”
BACK TO CHUUYA
he’s still frozen poor baby
but it’s okay bc after like 5 more seconds he’s chasing you down the hallway you were walking in
kouyou, with a knowing smile on her face, ushers everyone away towards the opposite direction
she received some whines (ahem, tachihara and mori) but silenced them by summoning golden demon
but it’s okay
if they run fast enough, they can see what happens through the security cameras
chuuya caught up with you and tried to explain everything but he was exhausted
emotionally, physically (bc since when did you walk that fast??), and generally just tired with the whole situation
he just wanted to call you his; was that too much to ask??
as explosive as he can be, he can be calm and collected too
and he really did try to be that way as he talked with you but it was very difficult at the moment
the dumbfounded and confused look on your face his face twitch with annoyance and his heart started beating faster bc god you were cute
BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT RIGHT NOW
thank goodness after what seemed like years, you finally somewhat understood what happened
you didn’t understand completely but it was something
Tumblr media
The two of you stood in the middle of the unusually empty hallway facing each other, you with the bouquet still in hand. It was quiet as you and Chuuya assessed the situation.
You looked at him skeptically and he stared right back you with his gorgeous blue eyes.
“...So you do like me Chuuya-san??”
“Yes”
“And you were trying to court me just now, not friend zone me??”
“Yes”
You got most of your questions out of the way, but there was something that you’ve been wondering about for quite a while.
“...So you’re not gay for Dazai-san??”
“Yes, im not wait—GAY FOR DAZAI?? THAT MACKEREL??”
Chuuya did a double take. What in heavens name made it seem like he liked that suicidal maniac?? Why would he choose him if he had you?
Like he would choose him anyways; or ever consider him as a possible romantic partner.
“Oh, so you are?”
“NO! I SAID I LIKED YOU DIDN’T I?”
“Well yeah, but I thought you liked Dazai-san too. As annoying as he is, he can be quite charming—”
He was out of patience at this point (nope definitely not because you were talking about Dazai who told you that?) and just decided to kiss you.
You immediately melted into the kiss and kissed him back with the same amount of love and feeling.
Letting the bouquet fall to the ground, you wrapped you arms around his neck and his put his on your lower back and brought you closer to him. After a few more moments, the two of you broke apart for air.
The two of you, slightly out of breath, leaned your foreheads against each other and just basked in each others presence.
Chuuya looked into your (e/c) eyes and asked you just a little bit above a whisper, “Now do you get my intentions and feeling?”
You blinked at him before breaking out into a grin, “Hmm I’m not sure; do you wanna do that again Chuuya?”
The red head only blinked back at you before rolling his eyes, a smile present on his handsome features, his heart fluttering at you using his name with the honorific.
“Dumbass”
Smiling cheekily at him, you pressed a kiss on his cheek and started dragging him towards the lobby to take a walk around the building perimeter, knowing that the two of you can’t be too far from work.
The way down to the lobby was mostly in comfortable silence until you said something that made Chuuya want to bash his head against the wall.
“You know, you could’ve just told me you liked me Chuuya. It’s not like I would’ve said no.”
Once again, as the rest of the more power mafia members watch from security cameras, it is hard to tell whether Tachihara is crying or wheezing of laughter.
omake !!
The two of you just started making your way around the building when suddenly a very familiar voice came from Chuuya’s prized hat.
“Chuuyaaaa!! It was about time you stopped being a chicken, Chibi!”
Removing his hat from his head, he started yelling at it not knowing exactly where the listening device was planted.
“TEME! HOW DID YOU—”
“And (y/n)! I would congratulate you, but I think I would rather offer you my condolences. Why him?! He’s just a slimy slug. OOH OOH how would you like to join me in a double suicide?! A shame it won’t be a lover’s suicide but it’ll annoy Chuuya so I think it’ll be worth it! ”
“YOU—”
“And please don’t kiss while I’m listening in. You made me lose my appetite! And it was such a shame! I was eating crab using Kunikida-kun’s money! Do you know what you’ve cost me?!”
“DAZAI YOU PIECE OF—”
“Ah! Kunikida-kun is here! I have to go!”
You can hear something is the background that vaguely sounds like, “DAZAI YOU WASTE OF BANDAGES STOP USING MY MONEY”
“DAZAI DON’T YOU DARE LEAVE IM NOT DONE WITH—”
*Click!*
The click sound from the hat revealed that Dazai disconnected.
Chuuya twitched and glared furiously at his signature hat hating that the voice he hated the most came out of it.
“Aww, I didn’t get to talk to Dazai-san”
Chuuya whipped his head towards you, a look of mock (or real) betrayal showing on his features.
You laughed at him before taking the hat out of his hands and placing it on his head.
He shyly looked away before muttering a thanks making you smile wider. Just as the two of you were about to start walking, a small explosion erupted from his hat; it was likely that Dazai made the listening device self destruct.
“DAZAI YOU BASTARDD”
At the Armed Detective Agency, a certain suicidal maniac hid from the wrath of his current partner as he thought about the wrath his old one.
“Hmmm I wonder if Chuuya would finally stop wearing his ugly hats if I blow all of them up...”

Hiii, I wanted to say I love your writings! I specially liked the scara x chubby reader ones even though I'm not even chubby lol, they were really cute <3;;
I... don't know if i can request anything right now but if I can, would it be too much trouble something about scara with a tall fem s/o who's insecure about it? Like worrying he'd rather be with a cuter, smaller girl rather than herself? I feel kinda frustrated bcs most people write reader inserts where the reader, especially when written as female, is super small which kinda hurts when you're insecure about being tall lol anyways it's completely okay if you don't want to do it btw! Have a nice day!
I'm glad you enjoyed them, and of course you can request! Requests are open as long as my blog says as much. It just takes me a little time to get to them, you know? And sure!
I understand the struggle, I'm strictly average height and I'm not exactly chubby... I'm just extremely muscular [I'm Enby]. I look soft and round [muscle is squishy when not in use!] and then I can carry people who weigh more than me, and i weigh 285lbs/130kg, which... you know, people get set off by. So, I get it! I just hope you can enjoy some other prompts too, I try to avoid talking about the reader's features or heights... but without further ado, tall!reader x scara!
[[ Tall!Fem!Reader; Summary: Scaramouche isn't exactly the tallest man, and beside you, he seems utterly petite... wouldn't he be happier with someone his own size? Oh, no, he wouldn't, and he's going to make sure you know that.
Word Count: 1'221 ]]
It was hard not to notice. Scaramouche was a small man, he was petite even among Inazumans. You? You were quite tall, definitely more than him, and the height difference made it all the more noticable, all the more dramatic.
More than once had Scaramouche silenced the Fatui recruits who decided to be too wordy, but you didn't have that authority, or audacity, to bark them down into place, so when he was not beside you, which was often, any who knew of your union would comment on it.
It didn't help that he seemed to be hateful of his own size, a taboo among even Fatui Harbingers to speak of it, for if they did, he hissed and snarled and puffed up like an angry cat.
Endearing, but it hurt a little.
He noticed, too. A few times, he'd try to wrap an arm around you, but it didn't quite work, since he could, at best, get it around your waist, he was far too small to sling it over your shoulders. Then, he had taken to grabbing your hand, your arm around himself... Endearing, how he would relish in your touch, demanding it.
It had hit a rough point, when you wanted to buy a cute dress... He loved it when you wore a dress, his hand always wanting to rest on your knee, trailing up your thigh if there weren't others to see, and he even gave you a small fortune to spoil yourself.
But they were all far too tight and small or just flat out awkward fitting, they weren't made for someone of your size. You couldn't even do this little thing for Scara, the thing he adored, just because of your size. The logical part of your mind knows it's not your fault, you couldn't help it...
But as you see a smaller woman, wearing a dress and twirling in it, a dress you'd adore wearing but couldn't find a fitting size...
You had a sinking feeling, your heart crashing into your stomach, and you had to leave immediately, trying to keep your head down as to not have anyone stop you, and ask "Are you okay?"
The honest answer would have been "I don't know."
You got home, and you walked in, all but slamming the door behind you to vent out some of the ... Emotion, emotion was the only word you could think, that currently crushed your heart and twisted it into cruel knots.
You were going to scream out your anger, extremely thankful for the disturbingly good soundproofing in the walls, cry out your sadness, and then just hide from the world, eating, drinking, sleeping, reading... Anything just to get it all out.
He wasn't supposed to be back for a few hours, and he had seen you on your worse days... He was rough, but when you needed him to be sweet, he treated you like royalty. Even when you looked like a mess it didn't stop this sweetness.
This made you want to scream again, knowing you can't even do what makes him happy, worst still, something most women could.
...
He came back earlier than expected. You got most of it out, your face puffy and eyes red and sore... You were tired, but you wanted to stay up to cuddle him, he loved cuddling, and you didn't want to take that from him, too.
That made you whimper, cry just a little more. Maybe you weren't over it yet.
But Scaramouche could hear shockingly well, and on the door, he knocked gently, and peeked in... When he saw you were just sitting there, he opened the door more. You could see his face, full of concern,
"Are you okay?" He asked, and you sighed.
"Just a rough day," that wasn't entirely a lie, but he walked over, looking over your face.
"You've been crying."
"... I have."
For a moment, he examines your appearance, and sat down next to you.
"Is this something I can fix?"
He always tried to fix it--and this was his, odd way, of asking what happened.
"No," you said, dismissively. "Things happen."
"But you're not telling me what happened," he said, with an edge on his voice...
You sigh.
"I'm just thinking about things I can't control, things being... hard, it's nothing worth fussing over."
"It's you, it's everything worth fussing over!" He huffed, sitting up on his knees to look at you more directly. "Is it about me? Did I... do something wrong?"
"No, no, it wasn't you-" You couldn't handle that look he gave you, that made him look like a scared little kitten... "Don't worry about it."
"I'm going to assume things," Scaramouche said, "And you're not telling me. Did you do something? Did you..."
"No, fine..." He was so incessant, "I just... I'm taller than you."
He stared at you blankly for a moment, "And?"
"Wouldn't you be happier with someone that... doesn't make you look like a pocket-sized kitten? Someone that you can actually easily hug, and you could kiss without dragging them down to your level?" You asked, your voice choking through all of it, "I... I wanted to buy I dress, you love it when I wear a dress, but... I couldn't find one that wouldn't look weird. I can't even do that for you... wouldn't you prefer someone else?"
When you said that... Scaramouche's pupils went small, his entire face darkening--it wouldn't be amiss if a shadow covered his eyes.
"Who put that idea in your head?" He asked, almost dazed, with a wild form of insanity you had seen only rarely.
"No-No one, Scara, don't look at me like that."
"There must be someone," He declared, "I'll kill them. I'll skin them alive. I'll rip out their tongue so they could never mislead you ever-"
"Scara," You said, a little more sternly, "It's-It's... It's just, how everyone looks at us, and... Wouldn't you? Be happier with someone smaller?"
Scaramouche shook his head, "No, because they wouldn't be you. I don't like it when Tartaglia puts his elbow on my head, but I like it when you hold me," he grabbed your arm, wrapping it around him how he always did, "And knowing you could catch me if I fall," He moved closer, resting his head on you, "And knowing you're right next to me, and that you won't break."
He pulled away just a little bit, "Fine, you're taller than me, but I don't care. Not when it's you. Because you're... you."
You couldn't help but sniffle, smiling as you felt your tears well up, and you could see the panic on his face, "Did-Did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's..." You smiled, lips quivering, "I love you."
Scaramouche stood on his knees, leaning towards you, pressing a kiss to your cheeks, then your lips, "... love you too," he muttered, all flustered.
"It's just a shame," you sighed, "I still wanted to get a dress..."
"Oh, is that an issue? I know a good seamstress. We can commission as many dresses as you want."
"As you want, you're the one always feeling me up when I wear one."
"... Your thighs are soft."
You couldn't help but laugh aloud at his sweet silliness, he gently punching your shoulder in irritance, huffing and pouting.
"Well, that sounds nice."

Previous parts: 1 // 2 // 3 // ao3 1 // ao3 2 // ao3 3 // ao3 overview //  story on ao3 4 // masterlist.
 Story under the cut - Word count: ~2.7k
Patton snuggled up into his bed. It was time for a seriously calm time.
 In the background, his TV was running. It was a baking show with little kids and Patton smiled just hearing it. They had pretty things to bake with!
But he had used pretty things today and he had made special choccy cookies for himself. They had extra choccy because he really liked them.
 Patton snuggled up, hugging his favourite blanket. It had little cats and dogs on them and they snuggled and made him really happy! He smiled and cuddled the bundle of blanket in his arms. Another blanket was over him, covering him with its thin and rather cool fabric. It was patchwork and pink and had lotsa flowers on them. He had made it himself over a looooong amount of time.
 He smiled, satisfied with himself and brushed over his happy blanket.
 His soft blanket in his hands and his light blanket on his body had him snuggle up happily and just retreat into his pile of pillows. It was his soft happy place and he couldn’t feel better.
Well.. except he could because he had made himself happy tiny noods! His noods were perfect bc they were cut tiny for himself and they had nostalgia in them. He had made them like his granny and mommy used to make them for him when he was a kid.
 He pulled his bowl of pasta close to his chest and hugged it along with his little blanket. He had tiny cutlery ready. It was made of wood and for small hands and small people and he was more than happy to use it. Seeing the tiny pieces of kitchenware had him go all soft already.
His little heart was yearning for his time to come.
 Well, the time was now.
 The last bit he had to had was just this one thing..
 Patton pulled his phone up to him and opened a bookmarked website. His phone was put on “Do not disturb” which disabled all apps for him that he did not want to access or be notified about when regressed.
 “ ‘Cus ‘m a gud boi..”, he mumbled to himself.
 The praise left a reddish mark all over his cheeks and made his heart feel really soft and warm.
 Patton curled up on his side and slowly put the first spoon of tiny pasta into his mouth. There was so much cheese on it, it had to be good. Nostalgia exploded within him as the flavour hit his tongue. The familiar taste of childhood-impatience engulfed him and sparked the simple joy of being alive and having tasty food in his heart.
 “Aw..”, he mumbled to himself, nodding as if to show appreciation for the person who had made it. Neither his momma nor his grandma was with him but he routinely did so as a kid. So, now he did it, too, because he was small and a good and appreciative boy!
 Patton munched on his happy food, enjoying the savoury tastes.
 The regressed bean cuddled his food and focused on eating. No spill, no nothing but his light brain and simple mind made it harder to coordinate his hand movements in regard to his field of vision. Patton squinted a bit but the fact he got nostalgia food out of it made him more than compliant to the task.
 “Not the pretty blankie”, he reminded himself with a content smile.
 Meanwhile, the website he had opened was loading his favourite little gem. It was fanfiction, sure. It was not from his childhood like the happy cartoons he was watching (it was about little geometric figures befriending one another) but it was just as good in his opinion. It made him soft.
 There.
 He was done with his bowl of food and slowly put it aside, patting the bowl after resting it on the table. The bowl had done a good job in not spilling anything and holding the food for him. He, in turn, had done a great job in not spilling anything.
 “Gud bowl.. gud fud..”, he commented gently.
 The cartoon friends hugged and Patton cheered.
 “Yay!Frens!”
 He put his arms up, hands spread out as if to show his palms ever so proudly. The little beamed up at the TV and giggled along with Mister Triangle, Darling Circle and Miss Square. They were friends and he felt like a friend of them.
They turned to the viewer - Patton - and opened their hug to include him and the little squeaked into his room.
 “Fren!!”
 Patton giggled along with the geometric shapes who were his little friends. He hugged his blankie close and simply relished in the feeling of a warm and nice hug. Upon imagining this was what it was like to be snuggled at the moment, he focused on the softness of his blanket and its weight in his arms.
The regressed adult sighed out in relief, in contentment. A feeling flooded his insides like the ocean, waves rising and falling, breaking all over him with the sheer happiness of being “touched” and loved.
 He let out another squeak, mumbling to himself.
 “Fren ! Frens!”
 He giggled.
 His mind was fully smol. All adult worries and thoughts had slipped off his shoulders by now. The food, the cartoon, the happy blanket and the soft snuggles.
It was great, albeit not perfect.
 Patton clicked his tongue, thinking about his name. It was so soft! Pat pat - hihi. Patt-on. He giggled more and buried his face in the snuggle companion, rolling from side to side with his blanket hugged close to him. The soft bundle was tightly held by his arms while the little shook his body, thrashing around like an exited puppy out in the fields. The overwhelming urge to just roll and turn and wiggle around on his couch was strong and amplified his innocent joy.
 It was pure and it felt real and genuine in his heart.
His whole soul was taking the vacation of feeling and experiencing. Something he often abandoned in favour of being a reliable and fully functioning adult.
 But adult time was nu now! Bad adulting! It was nice time!
 “Nu adult, only baby!”, he assured himself.
  He bapy! He B A B Y !!!
 “b a p e y”, he repeated to himself.
Sometimes he had to voice his thoughts. It made him grin like a dummy but he liked it and it was happy feels for him! Gud feels!!
 Now that he was smol, there was the final step. Back to his story.
The website was fully loaded and Patton blabbered to himself in impatience, in childish, pleasant anticipation.
 “Euwus..”, he softly whispered to himself as he drew his phone close like the little treasure it was. To his mind, a smartphone was akin to magical power. He could watch cats and dogs and look at cute pictures of them, too! He could also just read and play anything and enjoy soft little games.
For now, he settled on reading.
 He wanted to read his favourite little story. It was content made by a creator called “Faeling”, someone using really fancy pronouns like neo-pronouns and such. Hence the name according to their primarily used pronouns: fae/faem
The story was written by faem and was about a hero stealing all the uwus! Or rather, making other people so soft, they gave faem these uwus. It was funny and cute and ended in a lot of nice smooches and cuddles and snuggles.
 Patton smiled and started scrolling.
 Prinxe Eurus was a well-liked person and so adorable and soft, everyone squeaked and said “uwu” when fae was around. There were happy pictures of faem with red hair. Fae walked around in funky gowns and hugged people who would say “UwU” and other things like that really loud. Then Eurus would reach up to snatch these things. The prinxe was young and short than others but fae was athletic.
 “Euwus has uwus..”, Pat observed happily.
 His heart was throbbing in happiness as he read. It was beating fast and hard with how excited he was, anticipating any action that had yet to happen.
This was the best day! Bes!!
 The story continued and Patton read.
Eurus was termed “Euwus” for possessing so many uwus. In fact, Eurus-Euwus had all the uwus of faer kingdom! Faer parents were upset but had no right to intervene. People had given their uwus to Eurus consensually and the people had risked getting their uwus snatched by interacting with them. A lot of people called to stop interacting with the prinxe but a lot of them only talked and were too captivated to stay away from faem.
The vicious circle continued.
 People worked hard to regain more uwus and feel the same rush of happiness when Eurus-Euwus did adorable things like giggle, do the happy stimmy thing or gently just get excited. Fae would gasp and make really funny faces. Sometimes, the prinxe would squeak out nice words, compliments and other things alike and absolutely rob everyone of their uwus.
 Pat hugged his blankie closer.
He was all soft for Euwus and was convinced fae had all his uwus. If not, he would make sure fae would get them.
 There was another illustration. It was the parents looking at Euwus while people secretly smuggled their uwus over under skirts, in bags and other things. It was a row of people, so so long that the queue reached faaaar outside of their castle’s realm. The window showed people standing outside, trying to juggle their uwus in their arms.
 Patton giggled.
There was a little dog and a snake bringing their uwus and putting them down before a delighted-looking Eurus-Euwus.
The little shook his head at the cute puns. They were adorable and made him tear up in happiness. All the good emotions welled up inside of him and piled up - stacked up - until he was full of all the good feelings.
It was called a “recharge” - at least he called it that when he was tol and realised he ran out of patience and adulting juice, so he knew it was time to be smol for a while.
 Without further worrying, the little scrolled more. The best part was yet to come.
 The prinxe soon had all the uwus and collected so many uwus that even neighbouring kingdoms were empty after people travelling from all the lands to come over and experience the lovely joy that was the younger royal.They all had lost their uwus to the charming giggles and delightful demeanour of Eurus. Still, they all hungered for more interaction.
There was an illustration of people lacking ALL the uwus to give to Eurus but they did nto look mad. They looked sad about not having the uwus to fully enjoy Eurus’ company.
 Meanwhile, the next page showed how fae was desperate too, in a way. Fae had so many uwus, it was hard to move around as they took up all this space. Eurus could not even stop taking the uwus as they seemed to just come over and stick to faem as soon as the others were so excited, they just revealed the happy feelings in the form of uwus.
 Patton gasped at the turn of events.
 Eurus had too many uwus and the villages and kingdoms had too little! Fae had become Eurus the uwu snatcher, known to all people in all the lands!
 The prinxe was a clever bunch of royal genes and decided to do something about the uwu situation. Fae decided to run tests while also silently smuggling the uwus back into faer people’s systems. Uwus were used to cook and everyone was invited to a special celebration. The extra sprinkles of uwus made the food even tastier. It was usually tasty because the royal cooks and bakers were great at their jobs and always made the best of foods, using the right ingredients. But this time, the food was astonishingly scrumptious.
 Patton nodded at the words, his mind slurping up the story like Euwus snatched uwus. It was his favourite part.
 He had to admit, he was silently blabbering little uwus whenever he saw them in the illustrations. The next illustration had some uwus too! There were uwus put into cooking pots, pans and other kitchenware. The cooks and baker were busy processing all the uwus in order to make the best of all the meals.
 The citizens deserved regular free meals via invitation of the royal family. This one meal was just a bit more special than usual.
 “Uwu uwu..”, Patton nodded.
 His lips were moving, slightly curved in euphoria. His fingers were wrapped tightly around the phone, his excitement flowing into holding the phone as if even the least bit of letting go could lead to the story vanishing forever.
 (To soothe this fear, he had saved it online, offline and had it ordered as a physical book.)
 Patton kept reading.
 Eurus had fed everyone these uwus and they all felt happiness filling them again but when fae announced this, they realised the change. They had interacted with one another so much, they were happy even without uwus! Being together was a delight and upon seeing the precious prinxe, people fell into a chorus of “aww”s anyway.
 “I snatched all your uwus!”, Eurus had said.
 The people were awestruck but oddly impressed. They agreed but everyone was delighted, still. Filled bellies and glasses provided a satisfaction that paired with the pure gift that was being around fae. But Eurus continued.
 “You are still happy to see me. I could feel your uwus even before I gave you the food.”
 They all agreed, a realisation slowly dawning on the faster thinkers among them. Eurus made sure to explain it to everyone for knowledge was important and fae appreciated faer clever people.
 “I gave you all your uwus back! I had them be put into the food and now you all have your uwus back. Order is restored. I now rule you to use your uwus on one another!”
 The people looked up at Eurus, still too stunned to react.
After a while, people clapped.
 There was another illustration.
Eurus was on the stage, before a few benches and tables of wood standing outside. It was a sunny day and people were dressed casually.Everyone had bowls of food and cups of drinks and seemed to laugh and enjoy all around them. There was a big uwu around faem.
 Fae continued and explaind how all were happy without uwus and that they had a wrong belief about it but had to learn and move on with the new knowledge. Still, as celebration, the prinxe explained fae would send and process uwus from everywhere to give to people who smiled less, so the uwus would be more evenly distributed.
 The people cheered and Eurus was crowned to be “Euwus”. Everyone remembered fae as hero and equaliser of uwus. The food festivals became more regular and the kingdom was the happiest and richest in all the lands.
Not to speak of, it had all the uwus and prospered in people and nature.
 Patton smiled contently and looked at the last illustration.
It showed the people being happy and the kingdom becoming exceptionally green and opulent. There was life everywhere and Euwus and faer family looked at them from their castle and they smiled, having all their own uwus.
 The little put the phone away and snuggled his blanket. Soft noises escaped his mouth. He was blabbering himself to sleep as some young beans did.
His mind was soft and his heart was heavy and all he kind think of was the story.
 “mmmuwu.. mwuwu..”, he mumbled deliriously.
 His head rested on the mess of pillows and he curled up a bit, eyes heavy and slipping close. It had been a successful little time and he was ready to nap in his little happiness now. His mind mind promised dreams of snatching uwus alongside Euwus, the heroic figure of his favourite story.
 “Mw..Euwuw..”
 Patton’s eyes were too heavy to open anymore albeit fluttering a bit for just a moment. He put his face into his soft blanket and curled up like a sleeping dog, innocence in his heart and dreams in his head.

2020 in review
I was tagged by @apeironaxiomaton to look back at 2020 and pretty much to try and not hate it so much! Thank you!!
Also I’m stealing the idea of putting everything under a cut, which I have never done in my life (and probably should start doing) bc it makes things neat as heck. Almost none of these are in a particular order.
Top 5 movies I saw this year:
Volevo Nascondermi by Giorgio Diritti - this movie is REALLY good AND I have good memories tied to the protagonist for Reasons I’m gonna cry bye (a shame that I’ve only watched this other excellent movie starring Elio Germano tonight bc it should be on this list)
Emma (2020)
The King’s Speech
Spirited Away or Porco Rosso - I had watched the first before and never the second so I think the fairer choice would be Porco Rosso but I’m not entirely convinced of it
The Wolf of Wall Street - look, I simply have a weak spot for stories that are so absurd they can be nothing but real (see “the other Elio Germano movie”)
Top 5 TV shows I watched this year:
Murdoch Mysteries - it will stay engraved in the first place of EVERY chart in saecula saeculorum and NO nothing can take its place I don’t care
Peaky Blinders
Alias Grace - which I was sure was a movie? I was so shocked to discover it isn’t like was it really six hours long what the
The Queen’s Gambit
Suburra: Blood on Rome - “The series was developed by Daniele Cesarano and Barbara Petronio for Netflix, making it its first Italian-language original television series.” I’ll be honest, some bits were a little bit hmm-inducing. Not the best tv series I’ve ever seen, but it managed to be fun and easy to watch. Suspenseful even!
Top 5 Songs:
So there’s a reason why Spotify said I’m an octogenarian this year and for as much as I complain about it... it’s right... Spotify’s right. And it will only get worse, I’m afraid. All the songs are from the same playlist which was my most listened to (and is the most interesting to share imo). I swear I have listened to other, newer things as well.
Shake That Thing by The Abe Lyman’s California Orchestra
Night Hawk Blues by The Coon-Sander’s Nighthawk Original Orchestra
Where the Sweet Forget-Me-Nots Remember by Merle Johnston and His Ceco Couriers (I’ve loved these flowers since I was a kid it was so nice to find a song with them in the title!!)
Dew Dew Dewey Day by Nat Shilkret
The Panic is On by Mezz Mezzrow And His Swing Band
Top 5 Books I Read This Year:
so this is embarrassing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I “bought” an insane amount of books and read a grand total of...like...t w o. It was actually like four and some short stories (which I hated and are therefore banished from the good boy list) so I’m gonna list my silly little titles and make my silly little comments about them all. From “””””best””””” to “worst” we have:
The Adventures of a Modest Man by Robert W. Chambers - I literally cannot shut up about this book and, yes, it is the one tied to this illustration, about which I equally cannot shut up about. It’s so horrible that it makes a 360 and comes back as good, but not before hitting you with a cardboard tube for a laugh and subsequently stabbing you in the kidneys just because it can. I think we can confidently state that we are in the “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked it” realm. I have so many questions about this book. Why was it written? Was it taking itself seriously? Was it commissioned by someone? Why is it so gay but only if you know that the author is a man? Maybe it’s a parody? Was it an experiment made by the author to test his own skill? I know jack about literature, unfortunately, so grain of salt here but it made me feel strong feels. Not that I could identify any of them if you asked, but they’re definitely there.
Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot - I’m counting this in bc what is a book if not a patchwork of silly little paragraphs anyway so yes, we have a collection of poems. Not only do I know jack about literature; as a matter of fact, I know jack about poetry as well! All I’m gonna say is: I like cute things, I like cats, the poems were cute AND about cats. I really liked it! I often find myself going back and reading again specific parts just for the delight it is to read them out loud! I also may or may not have named the cats you can adopt in Stardew Valley after some of Eliot’s cats. The movie Cats (2019) did one good thing: making me read this.
How You Can Keep Fit by Rudolph Valentino - Yes, that is correct. A book on fitness written (in English!) by silent movie superstar Rodolfo Valentino. It is less than 100 pages on real, actual exercises that the reader can replicate in the comfort of their own house with little to no equipment. With a sprinkle of old timey manly manner of speaking, a few anecdotes from the author’s childhood in ye merry Italian countryside, a dusting of precious advice against ice-cream, and a dash of genuine intrigue for these newly discovered “vitamins” everyone is talking about. Overall a fascinating read that I treasure dearly! Valentino also wrote a book of poems, which I am absolutely thrilled to read this year.
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway - Hmm.. I have mixed feelings about this one. Whenever the original language of a book is English, I instinctively want to read it in that language. Because I can! And because that way I get to read exactly what the author wrote. If it was another language, I’d get a translation, make peace with the fact that selling my soul to acquire perfect knowledge of all things is morally questionable, and call it a day. Problem: I’m a sucker for old books. And old books I did find indeed. There were three books by Hemingway for sale, very pretty, and for an almost symbolic price too so I bought them. They are Italian translations from the late 50s and my plan was to go through one in Italian, one in English, and after that, decide in which language to read the last one. I believe it was a mistake for me to start with Italian in Hemingway’s case. He’s known for having a very, VERY peculiar style that is integral to how the novels are perceived and I feel like I've robbed myself of literal peace of mind. For as much as I found the story interesting, I could not ignore the voice in the back of my head that kept wondering “was it necessary to render it like this?”. It did make me feel feels and think thoughts, but honestly? It was partially for the wrong reasons imo. It’s one of those books you should read at least once in your life, I guess, so I’m definitely glad I did it! Surprisingly, it captured me more than I expected and trapped me into its little world. I could clearly imagine the scenes in my head, which hadn’t happened in years! I’m really excited to move on to the next two books and finally be able to say if I appreciate his style or not.
Top 5 positive things that happened to me in 2020:
Visited Rome and took a stroll around on my own (sort of) for the first time in my life. I had never seen it at night :) Right after that I celebrated my birthday and got some cute gifts, including sweets that were sent all the way from Australia!!
Managed to buy my mom a gift, which is possibly the only real Accomplishment of 2020.
Took a bizarre trip this summer (I know, guilty) and fell in love with Slovenia
Discovering I like textile arts kinda gave me hope for myself and for the future. I say kinda for I dare not think concretely of anything too positive lest it should be prematurely taken from me. I shan’t elaborate. It is what it is.
Therapy!!!
The last few months of 2020 really hit me hard whereas in the beginning nothing was too bad so it was nice to see the list growing and growing! So many tiny good things happened and it’s worth to cling onto them. I’m tagging @sonicysuchillydog, @nurmilintunen, @alfonzone and anyone else who’d like to participate!! “Tell them I sent you” lol. Guys.............if you don’t feel like going thru your 2020 feel free to ignore bc......I get it............................

╰☆╮ LANA CONDOR ─ ISADORA ROSS identifies as  DEMI-FEMALE and uses SHE/THEY pronouns. they’re a DANCER, ARTIST, & REALITY COMP STAR, and they’re only TWENTY-TWO ! they’re said to be +PASSIONATE, but also -DARING. i guess that’s why they’re known as THE UNEXPECTED in the tabloids.
death tw, car accident tw, general thievery ? 
like this post to plot w her and i’ll message u !!!!!!! 
so i know i gave a bit about her in the poll but i wound up kind of combining her and evangeline bc i could so ??? here’s an updated isadora info 
B A C K S T O R Y
isadora ross was adopted at birth by nicholas and aria ross.  they brought her into their home and spoiled her rotten as best they could.  isadora never wanted for anything in her early years.  
at the age of six her mother died suddenly of an undiagnosed tumor.  
nicholas didn’t know what to do and wound up bringing in aria’s mother, francine, into their home to help him care for young isadora.  
isadora never liked her grandmother, her rules were too strict for a young and wild child like isadora.  and she hated being cooped up so often.  
nicholas threw himself into his work and spent fewer and fewer hours at home.  by the time isadora was twelve her father died in a car accident from falling asleep behind the wheel.  
isadora was left completely in the care of francine and the pair did not get along.  francine was not accepting of isadora claiming to feel different and was not pleased when her granddaughter started calling herself “demi-female” and using different pronouns.  
she had been dancing since she was three years old, focusing mainly on ballet & tap.  
at the age of fourteen, isadora ran away from home after a fight with her grandmother.  she took only a handful of things, including her grandmother’s credit card and ran off to europe, ditching the credit card after landing in the paris airport.  
isadora began working as a street painter, making enough to maintain a room in an apartment of an older woman.  they would also cook and clean for the woman who couldn’t do much for herself.  
one day as they were painting isadora was commissioned to paint something for someone and that’s how it was discovered that she could copy something simply by memory.  
a thief found her work and offered isadora a large sum of money to paint five copies of one painting.  which she did, because she needed the money.  
isadora soon became a part of a criminal crew as a forger and thief.  they were small enough to get in and out of places usually undetected, and their forgeries were good enough to pass as real works until they were inspected by a professional.  
the crew got caught when isadora was eighteen, but isadora managed to get away and go back to america.  they are wanted in 5 countries under the alias “the ballerina”  but no one ever got close enough when they were making swaps to get a photograph so no one knows it was her.  
coming back to the states, isadora bought an apartment in manhattan and began working as a maid in a hotel, careful to hide her wealth in other places so no one knew how much she was really worth.  
at nineteen they gave birth to a son, adrian.  it’s rumored that he’s the son of someone she knew in europe, but isadora never comments on that subject farther.  in fact, they keep their son out of instagram posts and social media entirely.  
last year isadora sent in audition tapes for both survivor and big brother and was selected for the big brother show.  they were pretty unknown and a silent person on the show.  no one expected them to win.  but they were behind some of the biggest blindsides, through casually mentioning names and things they’d overheard.  no one realized it was isadora behind it until they were evicted and watched back, or were in the jury house with others.  
they won the show with losing only 2 of the jury members votes, one of which was because it was a showmance voting for their other half.  
with winning a reality competition under their belt, isadora returned back to the city to her son and began working on other projects.  they’ve been a dancer in a broadway show, an artist working on an art show, and 
they’ve opened up a “big brother/survivor/amazing race” training camp. where you sign up for either a 3 or 6 week course for one of the shows and you’re tested to your abilities for different competitions and social games.  
they are doing their best to not be doing too much art lately.  if anyone sees their paintings its possible that they could be caught.  
it’s rumoured that she will be going on survivor this upcoming season but she has yet to comment.  
P E R S O N A L I T Y
isadora is a kind person, always wanting to help others out.  
one of the big things from when they were working with the con crew was that they made sure to help people less fortunate with the money they would get from their jobs.  
they are very passionate in everything they do.  they give everything their all.  
isadora throws herself head first into everything they do, falling in love with everything.  
they are also kind of impulsive and daring, usually finding trouble in the oddest ways.  
“oh?? this store is closed ?? but someone needs food?? i can pick the lock it’s okay.”
this also leads them to be kind of controlling and bossy.  they want things to go their way.  
isadora also is good at putting on a facade.  they can con people, from previous work as a thief and grifter, which helped her on the competition.  
not really family oriented, except for her son.  isadora doesn’t talk much about her parents or her other family, but she will gush about her son all the time.  
C O N N E C T I O N S
a childhood friend, probably from school or maybe someone who she met on like aim ( throwing it bACK A BIT Y’ALL ) and kept in touch with them.  
a dancing buddy, someone who she has practiced with and they’re close maybe.
a best friend, likely someone she met when they ran away from home and moved to europe, wandering around on their own.  this person would know the majority of isadora’s past.  
exes, isadora didn’t date much, so there would be a couple of exes.  they usually had relationships lasting not too long, most of the time it ended amicably but we can always figure out some dramatic thing too. 
pen pals, someone who izzie had a writing relationship with.  maybe set up through elementary school programs or a friend of the family, it would be someone who they’ve kept in touch with for all these years.  
close friends 
ride or die
past hookups
neighbor(s) / maybe a roommate or smthn ?
ex best friend
enemies

Can you tell me more about Jubilee and DeLune? Jubilee is your character, right? They both sound like great characters!
ANON YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE
hooo ok. ok so. ok so listen. listen.
we gotta get something out of the way realquick: whenever i talk about DeLune and Jubilee–or really just DeLune–i getso incoherent and flail-y i just. i love DeLune so much, she’s been in mythoughts every day for the past month+ no lie
ok so. @fatalcookies​ createdDeLune as an npc for a campaign she’s going to run, in which I’m going to be aplayer, playing as Jubilee Waters, the gayest tiefling you’ll ever meet (as ofyet, there has not been a single game. I’m obsessing over a character i haventplayed as and her girlfriend. i know. I’m ridiculous)
..let’s introduce Jubilee, then DeLune, theni’ll talk a little about their relationship and maaaaybe go into the au’s I’vecooked up for them. that sounds good, yeah let’s do that
Jubilee Waters. she’s from a small mountaincommunity where tieflings are more accepted than in other places. This mountaincommunity is also known for its arts
Jubilee was abandoned on the church ofPelor’s doorstep at birth, and was taken in by one of the people whoworked in the church, a laborer/cook/whatever they needed her to be named MariaWaters.
Jubilee grew up healthy and strong, and wasquick to pick up the ways of both a cleric and an artist; shaping her own hornsinto works of art and also taking up painting as a hobby, all while training tobe a holy warrior who fought in the name of Pelor, god of the sun. She excelledat the healing arts, and it was only because of her desire to help peopleoutweighing her need for glory that she went down the cleric path instead ofthe paladin path. (that and i reallllly wanted to play a cleric, because ihavent yet)
except her mom didn’t want her to go out andadventure, because it was too dangerous. That was a point of contention for along time between them. Jubilee wanted to go out and help people, and hermother wanted her home and safe.
Eventually, Jubilee’s mother passed. Jubileestayed, mourned, and before too long had passed, she was out on the road,heading to destinations unknown in a quest with a single goal: help peoplewherever help is needed. 
Eventually, she meets the group she’ll betraveling with in-game, and she goes on her merry way, eventually meetingDeLune
(I’ve been informed that DeLune probably won’tshow up until about halfway through the campaign, which on one hand makes me :(but on the other hand has built up the Hype of meeting her so much that i thinkwhen Jennie says “and in walks a half elven businesswoman” or somethingalong those lines I’m literally going to burst into tears of joy)
DeLune Candor…im trying to decide how much ican talk about.
you know what? i don’t think any of the otherplayers follow me, so the chances of them seeing this post are slim to none.I’m going in guns a’ blazin’
Her full name, I’ve found out, is Claire DeLuneCandor (which “Claire DeLune” means moonlight so they’ve already got thisgreat sun and moon dynamic going on which makes me Weak)
DeLune Candor is a ~55 year old (or theequivalent in half-elven terms) inventor turned businesswoman who is currentlythe head of a large family business that specializes in trading. The businessis booming, and it’s exclusively due to DeLune being at the head of thebusiness. She tries her best to run an ethical business, she’s a pointy-earedcapitalist, and i love her with my whole heart oh my god
She’s a workaholic, she is Fancy to the extremeand has quite the refined taste. She doesn’t like mincing words, she’svery direct and to the point, and she’s…i was going to say she’s perfectbut she’s not, she has flaws, but she’s so My Type that it hurts me and as suchi tend to gloss over her flaws.  I love her with my entire heart, flawsand all tho?? I say i would die for a lot of characters but i would live forDeLune.
OH HOW COULD I FORGET!!!!the song that inspired this character is this song and the woman singing? Shirley Bassey?? is the voice andface claim for DeLune so you Know I’m all about this song, i’ve probablylistened to it a hundred times. i love that song
DeLune…..DeLune actually has a daughter namedCeleste who is around Jubilee’s age which makes things sorta awkward sometimesbut shh shh its perfectly fine shh it can be funny sometimes, ill get into that in a minute
she’s a huge lover of the arts and thesciences, having been an inventor at one point. the love of the arts manifestsitself in her giving patronage to many different artists and commissioningworks and stuff like that Its Good
hrrmm what else is there about DeLune that ican rant about. god i just. ok i just love her. i love her so much?? and shehurts me sometimes for reasons I’m not sure i can disclose at this point. to besafe I’m not going to go too much into it but…she gave up a lot for thefamily business. and i just want her to be happy and relaxed and without toomuch stress
Their relationship…hoogh
ok so they meet, right. and DeLune isimmediately interested in Jubilee’s horns, because they’re works of art andshe’s intrigued with how they came to be. And when Jubilee tells her that she’sbeen working on her horns since she was ten, and that they still require upkeepand management….DeLune has this “holy shit” moment. bc?? here let mefind a direct quote:
“–these are the work of a literallifetime and peoples’ /lives/ are the work of a lifetime and they can’tmaintain as much focus as this 90% of the time.”
so yes, DeLune takes notice in Jubilee becauseof her horns. And Jubilee like. she saw DeLune and she just got this momentof “holy moly I’m so gay” so like?? They both were somewhat interestedfrom the start, and it just evolved from there.
i imagine Jubilee tried to beat around the bushand be subtle about trying to get DeLune to date her but DeLune saw rightthrough it and was just like “…do you want to date me? is that whatyou’re getting at?” and jubilee was like “yes. yes yes yes please godyes"
and so?? they date??
and things go well!! they click reallynaturally and they enjoy each other’s company. They go to a variety offancy places and Jubilee is terrified each time because she doesn’t want to sayor do the wrong thing and end up embarrassing DeLune, but DeLune teaches herthe basics of fancy etiquette and that puts her at ease
…jennie and i have had a conversation abouthow DeLune just completely roasts someone who dared to make a comment aboutJubilee being a tiefling and honestly i saved that whole conversation and iread it when i get sad bc DeLune utterly destroying someone is just So Good
They have their arguments and theirdisagreements because Something (I don’t know what it is) happens around thesame time they meet each other that puts DeLune on edge and so there’sdefinitely conflict regarding this thing. I don’t know what it is but I know inmy soul that its going to hurt me whenever i find out
Hrmmm what else is there. I mean. they fuck. alot. like a lot a lot. god i love them. i just. god i love them.
and this is a thing that makes Celeste and Jubilee’s relationship kind of tense like?? Celeste doesn’t blame Jubilee for getting involved with DeLune, but she DOES blame DeLune for getting involved with Jubilee. and so
ok we’ve had this scene thought out where Celeste comes into the kitchen one morning to see Jubilee dressed in just a silk robe, hair a mess and out of it’s usual braid, leaning against the counter and drinking coffee. and they make eye contact and then that’s how Celeste gets confirmation that yes, her friend is banging her mom and I’m just over here like god fucking bless. 
honestly I’ve saved that conversation too and it makes me giggle because Jubilee just. she sees celeste and she’s like “hi!! good morning!! do you want some coffee??” and celeste is just. no nonsense like. “Jubilee. were you sleeping with someone tonight?” and jubilee makes this face and it cracks me up every time. 
and jubilee just makes the smallest “yeah” ever and celeste just. “and it was my mother, wasn’t it.” not even a question. she knows. but jubilee answers anyway, with another tiny “…yeah.” and then she just “please don’t be cross with her”
and then celeste breaks out the whiskey despite it being like. you know. breakfast. and god i love this family theyre so dysfunctional but god i love them
what else is there. they may or may not go to a small house in the countryside after everything is said and done, somewhere DeLune can make things and somewhere Jubilee can have a quiet life again. just the two of them, after DeLune gives up the reigns on the family business and god i love them. if there’s anything about them that has almost made me cry it’s this idea of them living a quiet life together, somewhere with a small workshop for DeLune and space for Jubilee and her god.
like. jennie killed me with this line:
a small little workshop, pen and paper, and a lover in her bed
…beautiful things they made together
artisan rugs are left back at a different home that she visits,sometimes, when she needs to–and besides it’s not half so beautiful as thesmile on Jubilee’s face when DeLune hand-feeds her a grape and catches atrickle of juice from the corner of her mouth with her thumb
AND OH!!!! THE PAINTING!!!!
ok so you know how jubilee paints?? she did a portrait of DeLune that she purposely left unfinished to represent that all things are a work in progress and GOD can you tell how much i love them yet they’re so good
but god, all i want is for them to be happy together. that’s all i want. i love them so much it hurts me
ok let’s get into those AUs
ok so. the aus. i made a list here of those aus but on one of them we’ve gotten real deep man
ok so. we havent gotten too deep into vampire/vampire hunter au but?? there’s some choice symbolism
i initially thought of DeLune as the vampire and Jubilee as theperson sent to kill her but they fall in love and run away together. the symbolism would be pretty choice here, DeLune representing the night (as her name means moonlight) and Jubilee with her divine connection to the sun, right
but I’vethought about it some more and the other way is also pretty choice like.
Jubilee as a prominent religious figure who had a fall from grace when shewas turned into a vampire. she fled, disgraced and outcast by the religion she had known for her whole life. and DeLune is theperson sent to hunt her down because in this au she’s probably like a goodwizard or something who knows. and so she finds this vampire and DeLune isgoing to bring her back alive, but they fall in love and run away together. but the SYMBOLISM
….Jubilee’s still a cleric of pelor, right. but now the sun burnsher and she can’t find solace in her god. but you know what light doesn’t hurt vampires?
MOONLIGHT
DeLune, symbolically the moon, giving her light and hope in a way thatdoesn’t hurt her. god i love the symbolism with these two its Good
and. then. the au we got deep in right.
crime boss au
an au where Jubilee is the new cop investigating this mob family, and falls in love with DeLune in the process.
one problem.
DeLune, unbeknownst to Jubilee, is the mob boss. she’s the leader of this crime family. she’s the head of the syndicate, and she knows that Jubilee is investigating her.
She, to her credit, tries to dissuade jubilee, tries to turn her away from her path because she knows that whatever happens, the outcome will hurt her. but Jubilee is bound and determined to make a difference, and she doesn’t heed DeLune’s advice
and Celeste shows up?? and she wants to tear this business apart to get her mom out, and her and jubilee team up because even tho jubilee doesn’t know that DeLune is the head of the mob or that Celeste is DeLune’s daughter, they have similar goals
and how does celeste find her, you ask? well. Jubilee lives in kind of a rough neighborhood, and has had her fair share of shitty things thrown at her, right. after Jubilee and DeLune started dating, all that stops.
so celeste tracks where things aren’t happening to determine where her mother has influence, and finds out that this cop is a link.
and then one day they’re working on something and Jubilee just like. stands up and starts getting ready and she’s apologizing and saying she’s late, and Celeste is like “?? late to what??” and Jubilee replies “I have a date with my girlfriend DeLune”
…and that’s how Celeste finds out just how Jubilee is linked to her mother. and god its so good bc she’s just. shocked. like. no. no this. what. 
and so eventually, in this au, Jubilee goes into somewhere undercover to try and find out more about the mob, and gets caught. she’s cornered, on the ground, surrounded by people with guns, and then there’s the clicking of heels on linoleum and there’s DeLune. and all these people who were being threatening just stop
and DeLune kind of helps her up, dusts her off, and leads her out, all in silence, with only a biting retort to one of the henchmen who protests about Jubilee knowing too much. 
and then. hoo this kills me. when theyre out of there and in the car, DeLune just says kind of quietly “Idid ask you not to dig too deep, darling.”
hooo boy that hurts me
so then DeLune takes jubilee back to her house and celeste is there so there’s a mother daughter reunion, and they go inside and jubilee almost just completely fucking loses it and she’s like “you know? if you were just a part of the syndicate i think i could’vedealt with that. but the boss?!” and then she gets real quiet for a moment and just. “how much of it was real? how much of it was you trying toget another cop in your pocket?“
and so celeste just nopes out of there and DeLune and jubilee have a long conversation where Jubilee is passive aggressive and petty to the extreme. 
like DeLune basically tells her it’s easier to deal with when Jubilee’s angry in response to Jubilee losing some of her anger and getting kind of soft over the course of the conversation. so Jubilee’s like. “she wants me to be angry? fine. i can do that”
so she kicks her out of her house
and then soon after that she goes and she takes all of her things out of DeLune’s house. and DeLune has this heartbreaking line of “If you wish very much to be so utterly removedfrom me, only say the word. I will make certain you never see me again.”
and jubilee doesn’t respond. she just leaves. because she knows in her heart she wants to mend things, but at the moment she needs to process everything that’s happening. she isn’t processing it well bc she doesn’t deal with negative emotions well but she’s trying bless her
and so Celeste and DeLune and Jubilee tear down this mafia right, and then. god i love them. so DeLune and Jubilee agree to give it another shot after another long conversation, and that they’ll meet for lunch sometime and see where it goes
and. like in canon DeLune and Celeste’s relationship is strained at best, and so this au reflects that. but in this au i get confirmation that they definitely 100% make up and that gives me Life
so yes, that’s DeLune and Jubilee. god i love them. thank you so much for asking about them, you have no idea how hard i was laughing when i got this message bc i was like “I ACTUALLY TRICKED SOMEONE INTO CARING ABOUT THESE TWO OH MY GOD” and honestly? writing this up was a delight, thank you again for asking this anon!!!

For the fanfiction meme: 1, 8, 18, 26, 27, 28, 39, 46, 50, 51. :D
fanfiction questions meme
THANK U MYST !!!!!!! ive hit my 400-word minimum for today so im taking a break
this is lots of questions tho so heres a readmore but will it show up on my blog… no one knows……… how do i fix this problem…………… when will i fix it instead of just complaining about it all the time
1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?
harry potter. i have extremely, extremely vague memories of reading a sailor moon usagi/mamoru smut fic as like an 11-year-old before then, but really, the first fandom i got into was harry potter
8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?
answered
18. What ship have you written the most about?
uhhhhhhh. probably kinatsuen. i didnt write much fanfic before boueibu so its definitely a boueibu ship. but ill go look
ok here are the word count totals rn, including char & char as well as char/char:
enkin 14754enatsu 14829kinatsu 16420ibukinatsuen 16503kinatsuen 54897
not counted “i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)”, 10506 words divided up among kinatsu, enkin, kinatsuen, and maybe like 200 words max of enatsu, but i wasnt gonna go in and get word counts for all 40 drabbles because i cbacounted twice despicable objects (2791), path to the stars (4758), warmth (7205) are all included in both the enkin and kinatsuen totals
yeah … there was no way kinatsuen could have lost. spindle has several thousand more words than all the kinatsu and ibukinatsuen combined. im kind of amused at how ive written one (1) ibukinatsuen fic but it still has the second highest word count
i guess you could also count in terms of fics though in which case ibukinatsuen would lose but kinatsuen would still win:
Kinugawa Atsushi/Kusatsu Kinshirou/Yufuin En (6)Kinugawa Atsushi/Kusatsu Kinshirou (5)Kusatsu Kinshirou/Yufuin En / Kusatsu Kinshirou & Yufuin En (4)Kinugawa Atsushi/Yufuin En / Kinugawa Atsushi & Yufuin En (4)Arima Ibushi/Kinugawa Atsushi/Kusatsu Kinshirou/Yufuin En (1)
this answer is way longer than necessary but i got interested ljkasdf
26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles?
i go to the post window on ao3 and realize that my scrivener doc is still titled “tower au” or “demon en” or whatever, and i cry. then i desperately try to think of something thematically appropriate and hopefully pretty. usually during this process i drift further and further away from whats in the fic and the ideas become more and more tenuously connected (e.g. spindle, which is very appropriate to the fic but only in an extremely symbolic, abstracted way) but by this point im frustrated so i just go with it anyway. or, very occasionally, a title presents itself to me from the text of the fic (grace, despicable objects).
i also make vashti help me im probably really annoying about it
27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?
BOTH ………………… IT IS THE WORST PART ABOUT FICWRITING because its fucken impossible and also because by that point the fic is done! and im excited to post it!! or maybe just excited to not have to stress about it anymore. but i cant post it because i have to think of ONE WORD to encapsulate the fic and then like THREE SENTENCES to encapsulate it in a different way and both of them have to be interesting but not spoilery and how tf do you do that and my brain is fried from editing and asjl;dkfasdf. honestly though i hate them both equally
28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?
whatever they wanted i suppose?? i would be like :OOOOO no matter what tbh
but like if i was commissioning someone and could get whatever i wanted …… idk. maybe something from spindle but my image of ens uniform is very much based on someones art of a male homura so if i was specific about what it looked like, that would be stealing someones ideas, but if not, it wouldnt look right to me ???? i wouldnt care if the fanart was free but if i was commissioning i would want to have more say in what i got ;;
so um. not spindle. possibly a scene from the merman au, with merman en and merman kinshirou saving unconscious human prince atsushi from the shipwreck and bickering the whole time lmaooo “this is the worst idea youve ever had en” “you say that all the time” “each idea is worse than the last!!” “you can always go back home” “ugh ugh ugh just keep moving” meanwhile atsushi dazedly thinks he hears beautiful voices but they sound really annoyed with each other which is not quite in keeping with stories hes heard of sirens but then he passes out again
…….. yeah thatd be the basis for my commission. that scene
39. What is you greatest strength as a writer?
fuck idk. um. …i want to say dialogue but i feel like sometimes people in my fics talk for too long because i like writing it too much LMAO and i want to say angsty introspection but i have the same problem there. maybe i just think im best at those things bc theyre the things that come easiest to me?? and i think my characterization tends to be solid but everyone thinks that, right… no one writes poor characterization on purpose, do they… unless they have some other reason i guess. this question is smth for my readers to answer for themselves!!!! bc i dont know
46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?
well i mean .. it would depend on who was asking. i dont really know how to answer this bc i dont know this hypothetical someones likes and dislikes??? if it was an enkin shipper who liked pain, path to the stars. if it was an enatsu shipper who didnt want sad things in boueibu (im looking at u nicole), illuminations. if it was someone who would read any pairing but didnt have lots of time to read, i would edit i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) as ive been meaning to do and then tell them to read that. and so on. i really dont mean this as an evasive answer ;aljksdf but um if someone said “i like all pairings! i like all genres! i have plenty of time! i dont mind WIPs!” then i would rec veil or spindle bc im proudest of them and i think theyre good and i want more readers for my plotty multichaptered stuff
50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?
honestly …. i have no idea how i got into reading fanfiction. literally no idea. i guess i was just poking around the internet as an 11yo and randomly found some and thought it was cool
and i guess writing was a natural extension of reading? ive been writing since before i could physically write. i would make up poems in the car as a smol smol child. i have no memories of this but my parents do bc they were like “wtf” and yeah anyway it continued from there although i like to think im better now than i was when i was like 8. and like. my first fanfiction was really bad. it was really bad yall. but i got what i now realize were the kindest, most encouraging reviews (on ff.net. i still have a hard time remembering that ao3 has “comments” and not “reviews” asdjkf) the same way my parents and teachers encouraged my often very awful writing over the years so !!! my confidence in my writing is fragile but i have confidence sometimes and its bc ppl were so nice to me when i was awful and that gave me a chance to become less awful. but that doesnt have much to do with the question im just really grateful whenever i think about it. i got into writing fanfiction bc i was already a writer basically
51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!
