Hello, I’ve been unable to watch the NYCC panel but I see everywhere that is was awful and weird?!?! What actually happened ? Could you make a little recap for people like me who didn’t get to see it? Thank you!
I'll try my best ✌️ this is just the impression I got though (and sorry this got long lmao)
it was awkward because they weren't allowed to talk about ofmd, which made the whole thing seem more and more ridiculous as it went on. in addition, they had to do a sort of game where they were asked questions like "who is the most likely to do [x]" and then write a name on a board and reveal it at the same time. this could've been fine for maybe 10 minutes but they had them do it for the whole hour.
the issues with this game were that 1) the questions were very "generic corporate ice breaker questions", 2) they spent a lot of time in silence writing down, and 3) when a question finally did lead to stories or conversation, it was quickly shut down in order to move on to the next boring question and writing in silence.
they could've asked them about non-struck work (Rhys even brought up the books he's written several times and it wasn't followed up on), they could've collected and vetted fan questions beforehand, they could've just let them talk idk, they could've found a more fun game or ditched the boards (one of my fav moments was Rhys saying something like "I have a mic, why do I have to write it down?" honestly this would've made it 25% less boring lmao).
adding to that, there were sound issues meaning that Con and Rhys couldn't hear what was going on a lot of the time. Rhys said it again and again and nothing was done about it.
you could just tell how frustrated they all were and what this panel could have been if not for the shitty studios refusing a fair deal for the actors. I think the cast did what they could, and there were some sweet and funny moments. but it was clear that Rhys was pissed about not being able to talk about what they all wanted to talk about (I felt bad for everyone but especially for him).
they did a whole "ha ha we were all in New Zealand at the same time what a coincidence" thing and Rhys said that (paraphrased) if only they could be paid fairly, they could create something great with all the talent in the room, going off on the studios for a bit. it was honestly a bit of a relief for someone to voice it (to me, it felt like someone had to say something lmao and he did).
in the end they got a question about fantasy worlds. Rhys said he already lived in a fantasy world in his head and it was nice, though this was one of the odder moments. Matt and Nathan basically agreed and said it was all very weird (in different words). Rhys then said fantasy worlds are important because the real world is shit right now and there's no denying it; that in fantasy worlds we can all love each other and use kindness; and it's important to keep creating and believing in them until the real world becomes like that too.
and then he said "goodnight" (= "fuck this shit I'm out"), got up, put on his sunglasses, and started beat-boxing and rapping saying "why can't we talk about the show". their time had run out anyway, he said it had certainly been an experience, that he couldn't hear much of what was going on, and they all thanked the audience and it ended ✌️
anyway this is just my take and I hope SAG-AFTRA get a fair deal soon so the cast can celebrate the show with us like they so clearly want to. I also hope Matthew Maher does more panels after this (it was his first I think!) despite it being such a weird experience because he was great to watch!! anyway they're all happily doing photo ops and autographs now I guess 🤸
(if you want to watch there is a way)

HI HI IT'S ME AGAIN!! hope you don't mind me sliding into your asks again. :D
continuing the topic of touch-starved butlers... what do you think would happen if aruji-sama was VERY affectionate? like, they wouldn't even mind publicly hug their butlers or hold hands with them. (probably flustering the hell out of them)
OR EVEN BETTER IF IT'S PRIVATE. like god. like imagine. private cuddle sessions before you doze off to sleep. or unplanned hugs from the back while they're doing something.
MHMHMGMMF KISSING THEM GOODNIGHT>>>
they deserve all of the kisses and hugs. you can't argue with me.
anyways!!! may you have a great day!! love you!! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠。⁠*⁠♡
OMG A RETURNING ANON!?!? I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY YOUR PRESENCE ONCE AGAIN :D
ofc I don't mind getting another ask! Fuck school, I have an anon request to write!
TW: OOC butlers
Aruji-sama being very affectionate in public and private is 100% just like me! (I just have to restrain myself to not touch people too much or they’ll get annoyed :,) )
~👒-💐-In Public-🐾-📚~
Just imagine giving the butlers head pats out of nowhere and holding their hand while in public! Cuties like Lamli, Lono, and Lato will definitely lean into your touch and squeeze your hand too.
Flure might flinch and pout at you saying it's really embarrassing (but he doesn't want you to let go of his hand 🥺)
Some other cuties like Fennesz and Berrien are exploding with blush. Their reactions are so cute! “wh- ah!? Aruji-sama is holding my hand!!???!!?!??1!???” I bet they’ll be covering their face and struggling to keep their composure 💕
And our usually bold Ammon might blush from all the attention they're getting from you. He might even avert his gaze away from you when you turn to look at him. Lmao who’s blushing now~ >:)
Overall public the butlers wouldn't be that affectionate, considering how they have to keep the "butler and master" role thing in check.
~💌-🏰-Private-🍰-🥀~
Oh yes, I did go crazy when writing this. You can't blame me though, GIVING THE BUTLERS KISSES SFKJBSKJFBKEJSNBFOJN
Giving the butlers head pats and hugs after their training HNNGGGGG--
Aruji-sama: Good job today (。・∀・)ノ(._. `) The butlers: (.////. `)
And giving your main butler the ✨special treatment✨ (CUDDLES AND KISSES)
Hugging them behind their back when they least expect it... oh my god anon... what have you done to me? Like, after a long and tiring day... You just want to cuddle with your favourite butler, inhaling their scent... ok I sound like an absolute creep here (sorry 😨) But it'll be funny seeing their reaction. For example, Fennesz, Berrien, Flure, or any of the shy butlers: SFBHGDLHBSHLHDHF *internal screeching*
Butlers made for cuddling 101: - Lamli and Lato: Snuggles into your arms. They're like little puppies! - Flure: Smol and just right for cuddling (depends on your height? I'm taller than him so I'll write it in a tall Aruji-sama perspective). You can braid your hair while cuddling. Smells really nice- *bonked* - Hanamaru and Haures: Older brother material here folks. Smells sweet like the pastries they eat *gets bonked again*
And kissing them! Kissing their hands, their scars, to even the devil's contract crest on them too! (But for characters like Lono... you're not going to kiss the place where his crest is right...? Right...!???) I know this is really mean, but these men have gotten no bitches (except for Lucas but let's ignore that) *VINE BOOM*, no maidens *VINE BOOM*, and no lovers too 😞 *VINE BOOMS* But YOU! Yes, YOU! YOU CAN BE THE ONE TO GIVE THESE MENTALLY UNSTABLE MEN AFFECTION!!!
You don't even need to hold back! Are there weird townsfolk here to make fun of us? No! Are there snobby nobles here to judge us? No!! Are there any angels here to disturb our time? NO!!!
PAMPER THEM WITH AFFECTION!!! GIVE THEM KIND AND REASSURING WORDS!!!! JUST DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THEM HAPPY AND RELAXED!!!!!
COMFORT THE ONES WHO GOT DEMONISED! HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH THEM AND CUDDLE THEM TO SLEEP
FBHBFEHDJHREDSJKXCNBVFHD

(dear anon... I'm not the same person I was before I wrote this fic... what have you done to me... /hj)

TANNER’S PROGRESS REPORT: DECEMBER 31ST 2023 (SUN) ~END OF WEEK ROUNDUP~
(AND ALSO END OF YEAR!)
Predictably, I did not do anything today, lmao. Well. I played a lot of FFXIV again and got MCH to 90, so now I can start working on a new job! Waheeey. Anyway.
This week has been:
Three days' work on (gil) commissions
One day's work on a PhDemon (unfinished)
Three days off
Another year in which I did not fuck up and take more days off than I intended! Very pleased with myself, I must say. It was difficult in a few places, especially since the switch to a four day week made it a bit harder to get things like Patreon pieces done on time, but I've also done very well there - I don't think a single Patreon piece was late this year, despite some of them being very ambitious. ( b ._.)b
The PhDemon Challenge has also been decently successful; whilst the stated goal was to design a new demon every week, I didn't really expect myself to actually achieve that and would have been perfectly content to achieve a quarter of that. As it turns out, it's the end of the year and I have made character sheets for 17 (and a half) demons! So roughly one every three weeks on average, which is still very good. I intend to continue designing PhDemons when I get the time! They're fun to cook up and I see no reason to stop, lmao.
In the coming year I'd like to get back to focusing on the book, but I'll just have to see what I have the energy for. I'm still struggling to sleep and so it's necessary to take the path of least resistance re: what I'm able to work on, so if it turns out that I wind up working on Stelak!fic or PhDemons or whatever instead, that's better than trying to force myself to work exclusively on the book and winding up with nothing at all. Something is always better than nothing, even if it isn't what I planned to make. 💜
Anyway. Thanks for hanging out with me this year. Looking forward to more of the same in the year to come. 💜💜💜
Goodnight, internet.

Hello, me again being just perfectly normal as per usual.
I just finished listening to your INCREDIBLE playlist for HDG, and it's... did I already say incredible? It is very incredible. Wildly eclectic in all the best possible ways. I was SO PLEASED to see Babylon Zoo and Kula Shaker in particular! (no Tattva though?? how dare you it was the first guitar solo I ever learned) Anyway it brought back many many memories, so please find them all enclosed lol
I'm on holiday and have LOTS of time to kill, so I have constructed a sectioned, annotated list ❤️
The Best Song
Reef - Place your hands
I think this might be the best song ever made in the 90s? It's lived in my head forever. APPARENTLY the lyrics are "place your hands on my hope" but I have been singing "on my hole" for so fucking long and I will not change now. Those are the real lyrics as far as I’m concerned. Anyway it’s so joyful!
Songs that people don't remember until they hear them
Suede - Beautiful Ones - The chorus definitely rings through Hermione’s head whenever a Slytherin walks into the room lmao
Supergrass - Alright - I feel like I heard this song every single day for a decade
Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums - Their most pop song and holy shit its good
Ocean Colour Scene - Riverboat song - Not only amazing, but also the intro riff was the soundtrack to TFI Friday with that bastard Chris Evans (the other one)
Corner Shop - Brimful of Asha - Oh god this song hahah. Another one that was played so much it just became the general background noise of life
The Seahorses - Love is the law - I dunno if anyone even remembers John Squire had another band after the Stone Roses, but he did and this track was the only song of theirs I ever heard but it was enough that I remember them
Catatonia - Mulder and Scully - Is there anything more 90s than the X-Files?
The Divine Comedy - Something For the Weekend - Inextricably linked with the above in my head for reasons I can't remember. Maybe just because they're both spooky??
The Mavericks - Dance the Night Away - The happiest break up song ever made?
Juggernauts of the era
I mean these need no explanation so I mostly haven't bothered, but Bittersweet Symphony was literally the sound of an entire generation (and the music video? Just walking down a shitty street, disconnected from everyone around him, singing about hopelessness while dressed all in black, barging uncaringly past people??? IT MEEEE lol). Also a reminder that Things Can Only Get Better was the Labour Party song when everyone thought Tony Blair would save us from the conservatives 🙄
Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Oasis - Cigarettes & Alcohol
Blur - Girls and Boys
Pulp - Common People - 🎵 Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job 🎵
Prince - 1999
DReam - Things Can Only Get Better
Songs I don't think necessarily fit your playlist vibe but I remember fondly anyway
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees - One of my faves, it’s so fucking depressing lol. “She lives with a broken man, a cracked polystyrene man” 🥹
Ace of Base - All That She Wants - My dad loved Ace of Base for some reason? Which was weird because he mostly just listened to Pavarotti
4 Non Blondes - What's up - Still find myself regularly singing Heeeeeeeeayyy yeaaaah yeaaah yeahhh constantly 
The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode - E’s are good, gettit??? It’s such a blatant, smirking middle-finger to The Establishment that you’ve got to kinda love it, even if it’s fucking irritating to actually listen to hahah
Shaggy - Oh Carolina
Wet Wet Wet - Goodnight Girl - I did NOT listen to Wet Wet Wet. But my mum did, and this song was in heavy rotation, so I still know all the lyrics
And as this is an ask, I've prepared an actual question! Do you listen to music while you're writing? I can't, I get too distracted by the lyrics and I lose the ability to write words!
OK that's it I'm done have fun! <3 xx
Stars…your name is fitting because you are what?? HEAVENLY.
I will be adding all of these to the playlist tomorrow. Even if they don’t ‘fit the vibe’. The vibe of the playlist is - there is no vibe! It’s like what if Hermione and Theo bought every single weird mashup CD to occupy them in their little copy room, and therefore ANY and ALL bangers are welcomed hehe.
Re: writing to music - it depends on my mood! When I am struggling to get words down I definitely think it helps to focus me in the right ‘tone’. For NETG I used that miserable playlist a LOT lmao. Sometimes I get overexcited though and have to ‘dance around my room’ - a thing I have done my entire life and is not dancing at all, rather me hurtling from one end of my room to another, grinning madly as the made up people in my head do things I want them to.
I always try and convince myself I can listen to music while I study. This is always a lie. One day I’ll grow out of it, but not today

ugh. today was eh. idk. i went to the doctor because my throat and ear was bothering me. they said it's just a head cold and that it will fix itself in a few days. (oh wow, thanks.) anyway..
i barely got any work done today but, hey! something is better than nothing, right? i don't know. me and my mom went to some stores today and then we got chick-fil-a. it was fun! i played the sims today and i finally fixed it because it would just open for a few seconds and then crash. idk what i did but now it works LMAO.
this boy i've been talking to doesn't really seem interested in me anymore. like he's always like "you're so dry."....yeah.....i know......i talk better in person. i think i'm losing interest in him too though, but i'm not sure. also i had a dream me and my ex were cuddling and it was miserable. (dear brain, i DO NOT want that man back.)
tomorrow i have a half day, and friday is picture day. so i have to start fixing my face for that... ughhhhhhhhhh. idk. i'm tired. it's late. i don't feel like doing anything. whatever. goodnight.

Okay so I’ve been unable to stop thinking about the crossover since the last issue and there’s several things I just can’t seem to wrap my head around, so I’m writing a ramble that is basically me just trying to figure it out. This is kind of a review but more of just me dumping all my thoughts just so they’re not bouncing around in my head anymore lmao. I can’t really talk to many people about it because I don’t want to rain on the parade of people who loved it, but I also liked a lot of things and don’t want to just listen to someone bash it completely so rambling to myself on tumblr is how we go. Though, if you DO want to discuss any of this with me, PLEASE send me an ask or a dm or reply or whatever, because I would love to so much omg
I’m gonna start with the things I loved, then go into things that I didn’t like as much or concern me, then into the questions I have and the stuff I didn’t understand. I know there’s still the epilogue to come, which may wrap all of this up (please, please wrap all of this up lmao) and maybe some of these questions aren’t supposed to have answers yet, but I have to get it out somewhere cause I literally had trouble sleeping last night because of this lmao. And if you do have answers to some of these questions, PLEASE reach out to me and answer them because I am just. So perplexed. I’ve read IG and I feel like I still only understood maybe 30% of what actually happened so skskdjs
I don’t think this leans either negatively or positively in terms of my overall opinion, but if you’re hard on the “I love it, it’s flawless” or “I hate it, it has no redeeming features”, then you’ll probably disagree with like half of this either way so. Don’t get mad at me, these are just my opinions and you’re completely free to disagree with some or all of it
(under a cut cause this is more than 3 THOUSAND FUCKING WORDS somehow, what the hell, send help. Also spoilers galore for the Plague Doctor and Igor Grom series’)
What I loved
So first off, THE ART!!! I’ve always loved phobs’ art but goddamn, seeing the evolution is just something else. Every panel is downright gorgeous. It was such a treat to get an entire arc from phobs, truly a blessed event. All of it is just *chef’s kiss*
Secondly, the serovolk feels 🥺. They really hit so hard. Oleg being ready to go get Sergey right now immediately even though he’s still injured himself, then Sergey literally falling into his arms when he gets home all bloody and hurt. Guuuuh my feels 😭. I adored it. And the little hints, like Poet saying how ‘your loved ones don’t turn away from you’ and then the panel showing Sergey is just. So good. That really filled my heart
Another thing is that, if you were on twitter when the crossover was first announced, you’ll probably know one of the heaviest criticisms basically boiled down to ‘why do we need Igor and Sergey to fight again, we’re done with this, they’re done with this, why do that’ and I admit to being on that team. So I was really glad to see they didn’t, and also I enjoyed that they basically had the same reaction to being shoved together again lmao. They’re done with each other and neither have any interest in that. So I appreciated that solution to it, it felt really natural and needed
I also appreciated Igor’s character in general. If you’ve read the entirety of both MG and IG, plus any of MIG, you know he has some absolutely beautiful moments, and some that are uhhhh… very bland lmao. He’s a character that I don’t really gravitate towards personally, at least in the comics, but he has his moments. IG itself is a mixed bag for me, but I adored the Loci Method. I love the moments when he uses his words, when he’s more focused on protecting others than going after the villain, and overall the calm, compassionate, less punchy version of himself. This didn’t feel like a regression from IG, like many say MIG is. I really liked it. He’s grown, and this shows it well, in terms of how he handled everything and everyone he encountered
Chrysalis was also very intriguing to me. I really did not expect him to show up on the more heroic side, as I remember him being arguably the most violent of the Rubenstein trio in IG, but I will say it does make me breathe easier to know team Plague Doctor probably won’t have to fight him now lmao. I’m also really intrigued as to what’s going on with him and Poet (more on Poet in the questions section later) and Fireguy like. So Fireguy and Chrysalis are just buddies? And Poet is their unruly friend they have to go reign in now and again cause he’s the only one of the three still into murder? I haven’t the foggiest what’s going on there, but I am intensely curious. Also the like… sad lovey eyes Poet and Chrysalis were making at each other at the end there??? I know people ship them but wow what is happening lmfao
(Also ngl when Chrysalis first burst in my first thought somehow was it was Danila, cause grey hoodie with the hood up + superhuman strength but you know XD)
Things I didn’t like as much
I’m honestly not sure whether to put this in the questions section or here, but I think it’s more critical, so I’ll start by saying that, from day 1, I was on the team of ‘okay but what is the purpose of this’. And while that changed for a lot of people with this last issue, and that’s great, it didn’t change for me. It did clearly introduce new characters, which is all well and good and I knew would happen eventually (though, who is going to get slotted into PD vs MIG vs maybe another series remains unclear), but otherwise… I’m not really sure how it serves the narrative and moves either the plot or the character arcs in any direction?
For Igor, I think it had more of an effect. Much as he already seemed to have decided he was done with Sergey and Plague Doctor and all of it before the encounter, he did have that moment afterwards where he says “he didn’t seem crazy to me anymore”. And that… while I think he was already at that point before where he’d really let go of all that, I think he now knows it for sure himself. Which is something he learned that served his personal development and character arc. However, much as this was a crossover, it is only listed in the PD section, not the MIG section so… it’s kind of odd to me that Igor got more out of this emotionally than Sergey did lmao. Especially when it is a fairly minor development for him
Sergey, however… I don’t really see what he learned? He learned that Oleg took Rubenstein, yes, and that is sure to come up later, but I’m going to talk more about that in the ‘questions I have’ section. But that’s a piece of information, not something that has a real strong effect on his character. He also says that Oleg was right about that he shouldn’t have gone out, which is true but… again, he already learned a lesson about carefulness with Altan. I don’t think that’s a big character change moment either, especially because we know he was influenced to go and likely wouldn’t have solely of his own volition. So how can he be learning a lesson about going, when he didn’t actually make the choice to go of his own free will anyway?
Encountering Igor didn’t seem to affect Sergey at all, so that really didn’t do anything. And that makes sense, as considering the outcome of their previous 2 meetings, Sergey had a much stronger effect on Igor than the other way around. Poet just gave him information. The whole situation really just led to him getting mildly injured and saying again ‘okay, yes, I need to be more careful’ (even though this really wasn’t his fault cause he was influenced to go). And that’s it? That’s the entire effect on who, really, is the main protagonist of this arc? Idk, that feels weak to me. Like Sergey wasn’t much affected by this other than some minor injuries, so why did he even need to be there at all, in terms of the narrative, except to torture Igor by existing and have something he needs to talk to Oleg about later? I don’t understand that
(And maybe the purpose will become clear later, but right now I just don’t understand why this needed to happen at all, narratively speaking. It’s just odd, as the first arc was so good at setting things up and closing them perfectly, while this only seems to set things up for new characters, not for the existing ones)
…okay, I lied, there’s one other thing that did change for Sergey, and this is the thing that is making me very, very worried about the future: everyone now knows he’s alive. And this, this was really what made me very unsure about this crossover from the start. Much as the second issue confirmed Igor had no interest in chasing Sergey himself now, this issue pretty much confirmed my worst fear. If only Igor knew he was there, k, whatever, he’ll tell Max and Banu (who will surely show up again as investigating PD), but they have no proof. That could even be a plot point, them trying to convince everyone Sergey’s alive and not being believed. That could be fun. But. All the hostages saw him. Poet said his full name in front of everyone. Basically the entire world now knows Sergey Razumovsky is alive
“But,” you say, “KTP, that was surely inevitable, why are you upset about this?” Because, whether it was inevitable or not (and I truly don’t think it was), this means it’s not just Max and Banu knowing/suspecting he’s alive, or the Dagbaev’s having some personal beef with him. This is the entire world. This is FSB, Interpol, those white arrow people, and who the fuck else knows. Like. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself here by worrying about something that won’t happen for 30-40 issues, but how am I to believe Sergey and Oleg will get to have a happy ending now that they’re internationally wanted criminals again? Keep in mind, Sergey is a very prolific serial killer in both Russia and Italy, and they’re both terrorists as well. A handful of people knowing or suspecting Sergey is alive without proof is one thing, but now everyone knows. Which means they’re pretty much fucked
Which is why I wish I could love this because everyone’s like ‘oh, look, such a beautiful happy ending for serovolk, together again, of course they will always have that’ but… honestly, I can’t even really enjoy that page at the end because now I fear it’s all temporary and that we’re all going to have our hearts broken in the worst possible way. How can they ever have peace now that it’s not just a couple of people looking for them, but the whole goddamn world? How can they ever have lasting happiness? How can they end this story alive and not inside a jail cell? I never doubted before that they would get a happy ending, cause they have to, they’re the fan favourites but now… I really, really don’t want this comic to end with them dead. I’m literally tearing up a little as I type this just thinking about it. And I’m now really, really worried it will happen
(God, someone please tell me serovolk will be alive and together and not in jail at the end of this comic. If they won’t be, I would genuinely rather stop reading right now and give up and find something else than have my heart broken like that again. I can’t do it again, okay)
(And, again, if the epilogue confirms that somehow not /everyone/ knows and they’re only suspected and they won’t have every law enforcement agency out there banging on doors trying to find them for the rest of the series, then I take all of this back and will shut up forever lmao. I don’t think this is likely to happen, because it feels too impossible, but please, I would really, really want that)
Also, as a last note, I’m not sure if this is a criticism per se, but I do find it funny that Sergey got his ass kicked so hard by like one random cultist when he was able to take out like 15 trained mercenaries in that warehouse considering he started with nothing but a charge cord and a sharp necklace lmao. But you know, maybe the lack of Oleg being in danger didn’t give him enough adrenaline sdklskdslks
Things I’m confused about
Now, onto things I have questions about. Some of these may be read as criticism, but I don’t consider them such. These are things I didn’t understand and am confused about, some of which may be answered in the epilogue or a future issue, or some of which could be things I’m just too dumb to see the obvious answer to lmao
So first off, Poet. Like all of Poet. I have read IG, in fact I read most of it twice to refresh my memory. And while I understood Poet’s deal in the first bit he was in, to be fair, the second bit with the plastic surgery was very confusing for me as well lmao like. Why was he going along with that? What did he get out of it? What was his motivation? But anyway, whatever, this isn’t about IG, this is about the crossover
But my questions remain kind of the same here. What was Poet actually trying to do there? Goal 1: get Igor to the museum and he needs the cultists to capture people as bait. K, cool, got that. Goal 2: bring Sergey there to ask about Rubenstein. K, cool, got that. Goal 3: put Sergey and Igor in the same room to… have a very awkward little chat? Okay, now you’ve lost me
Like Poet straight up says if he wanted them to kill each other, he’d just make that happen with the hypnosis. Cool, so that’s not what he wanted. He wants them to talk. To what end though? To make them uncomfortable? Why? And isn’t there a better way to do that? And it does seem like he’s going to kill them after, but like. Wouldn’t it be more fun to make them kill each other if you want them dead anyway? If I were him, I would’ve controlled Sergey and used him to attack Igor, cause Igor doesn’t like to kill people but also this is /Sergey/, so mmm conflicted. But he didn’t want to do that. So what did he want? Was it just like… to gloat? Make them talk cause he can? He didn’t even seem upset that they didn’t have much to say, he only got mad when they redirected the conversation at him. I don’t get it. I have no idea why Poet did literally any of this when the things that are clear he wanted had much easier solutions
Rubenstein info? Lure Sergey, ask him, when he says he doesn’t know, mind control him back to the apartment and ask Oleg. When Oleg refuses, have Sergey put a knife to his own neck and Oleg will spill it all. Kill Igor? Well, do exactly what he did but without Sergey there and then boom, kill him in whatever fashion you prefer. Easy peasy
Anyway, if you can tell me what Poet’s goal actually was, I’d love to hear it, because I don’t have the foggiest lmfao. And considering the entire crossover was incited by him doing all this for reasons, I’d probably enjoy it more if I knew what those reasons were. And right now, I have no idea, and neither did the like half dozen people in the server I’m in where I asked this lmao
(I also find it curious that so much of the fandom criticizes Lera, saying she doesn’t have clear motives, when she very much does, meanwhile Poet’s are completely inscrutable here yet everyone loves him. Really makes you think, hm)
Also Oleg not telling Sergey about Rubenstein is weird. Really weird. People have said it’s not, but it’s really freaking weird. Cause these two are pretty much always together, which means Oleg said he was doing something else when he did it. Or did it while actually being there to do something else. And then didn’t tell Sergey for… reasons? My suspicion is that Rubenstein said something Oleg didn’t like and doesn’t want Sergey to hear, so he just omitted the whole thing, but I do hope we find out for sure soon. I’m almost positive this question will be answered lmao, but it still bothers me
And, although I’m sure this will be answered too, I’m curious who is going to end up being who’s problem. Will the cultists show up in PD or MIG? Tbh I’d prefer MIG, I think they’d fit the vibes better, but who knows. And the Rubenstein trio? Well, they were previously Igor’s problem, but they could be Sergey’s now too (and, by extension, Oleg’s and Lera’s), or maybe they’re getting their own series? I have no clue. Max and Banu are clearly going to stick around. So we’ll see how all that goes
I feel like I had more questions when I started typing this lmao, but I think the big ones really are Poet’s motivations and then the purpose question, which I put in the criticism section. I also feel like… Idk, after the first arc, I felt I had a very clear picture of the kinds of things that would come up later and what this series would look like and what it would largely be about. But now? I feel like I know nothing. And that scares me a little, because when I can’t predict how a story will go, then how can I know it’ll end okay? I think that’s what really gets me. Is now I have doubts I didn’t before. So. I do hope the epilogue clears a lot of this up, or maybe when the issue after that comes out, it’ll just forget 90% of this happened lmao as sometimes happens. Idk, I guess we shall see
And, like I said at the top, if you actually read all this (or if you didn’t cause it’s stupidly fucking long lmao but are seeing this paragraph anyway), then please, please feel free to reach out and chat with me about any of it. Cause I would LOVE to talk to someone about some of these feelings and I really don’t have anyone right now cause most of my friends really liked it and I don’t want to upset them, or they have the same questions I do with no answers. Anyway, that’s my ramble, hopefully this will leave my brain and I can relax in peace now lmfao

the problem with having an ill-advised fling with someone from your residency hall is having later to see him talking in the group chat about sucking fingers

me: it's so weird looking on the rigid deadlines I gave myself for all my past book releases. I wouldn't even give myself three days as an extension but looking back it wouldn't have mattered if the book had come out three months later than it did
me now: monstrum is coming out in october instead of september and I am going to scream

TANNER’S PROGRESS REPORT: SEPTEMBER 7TH 2023 (THU)
Alright, well, having worked on the lineart for the NSFW portion of the Patreon exclusive today, sitting hunched over my tablet for six solid hours in a 30°C room, I can now safely say that I will be working on this fucking thing over my weekend, because it will not be finished in time if I don't, lmao. I'll just take some extra days off in the week after it's done and posted. :')
Also I'm fucking delighted with Beauty, there wasn't even a whiff of lag throughout that bard shit, and he never broke 50°C even once while people were spamming spells and making messes! Absolutely superb performance. I don't think Manny would have liked that nearly so much, lol.
Anyway. Time for bed. Goodnight, internet.

JK literally didn't gave a fuck about Jimin today lmao. When Jimin back hugged him, he didn't even looked at him, he just looked around and went away and jimin just stood there awkwardly. I'm not saying the ass slap JK does with everyone or the stare he did at jimin to get some cheers from army. He just don't care and it was very evident today. They were awkward af. I dont know what you all are seeing and what's there to hype. There's 10 more better moments between all other ships. Minimoni, jihope, jinkook or top tier taekook - all about today. Now you all are turning to these cliche shippers who hype up ' oh my ship stared for 2 secs oh they are so real ' 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Be honest and ask to yourself what jikook moments happened today other than jimin trying his maximum to get JK's attention and JK avoiding him like plague. If they are in a relationship I can imagine how done jimin must be. If I were him I would've already walked away. Because I don't want a person to treat me this awkward. But I don't think they are in one lol. Everyone going crazy over members and ships which had good moments and jikookers going crazy over a butt pat or a awkward stare. I think it's time you all should understand it. ok jk went and hugged him after he got out of quarantine, well he must have hugged all members. So in total NO MOMENTS OFF CAM, NO MOMENTS ON CAM. Yeah looks like a ship which is so in love and real.
I have nothing to say, literally nothing, I’m going to bed right now, goodnight
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wait before i go to bed actually i just have one quick question for you anon, just real quick, if your taekook is so top tier uhh why are all your celebrated moments photoshopped/edited and made up? I mean just curious I’ve always wanted to know oh and if jikook moments are so annoying and so un memorable, if they’re so not workhorse the hype because there’s “nothing there” then why do you continue to live in the jikook tag lol you obviously think they’re cute if you can’t stay away from them 🥺 anyways goodnight

hello it's 12:23PM and I've been awake since yesterday but I just finished penchant and I wanted to let you know that your writing has been living in a corner of my mind rent free for several weeks now. your blend of comedy and emotional impact is superb and I never thought I would enjoy a piece of writing about a trip to ohio so much. apologies if this is approaching incoherence and thank you for your service goodnight
AAAA this is so kind (and completely coherent, no worries!! Lmao)
I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying my fics so far!!! I never expected anyone to really like a piece about a trip to Ohio either, to be honest, & I'm thrilled to know people are still actively reading it 😭🥺💞
(My one regret is that I missed the opportunity to have Aizawa experience eating at a Waffle House for the first time. I feel like it would have been an out of body experience for the poor dude.)
ANYWAY, this ask absolutely made my day!! As a thanks, here's a snippet from the end of the original 'getting together' scene that didn't actually make it into Ledges because I had gotten stuck and decided to rewrite it entirely.
& this was originally, too, when I had planned to bump the rating to an E, but then I decided to make it soft instead of horny. Part of me is still torn on whether or not that was the right decision for these knuckleheads, but that's just how it goes~
//
Shouta stares for a moment, eyes sweeping over Hizashi's face a few times, pupils still blown. He's speechless, Hizashi realizes, and he can't help the slight smirk that makes its way onto his face.
"Shut up," Shouta mumbles, hand coming up from where it was hanging loosely at his side to cup the back of Hizashi's neck, drawing him into another kiss. It's slow this time, much less desperate than before, and Hizashi hums contentedly, bringing a hand up to touch Shouta's face. He grins at the feeling of faint stubble he against his fingers. Shouta pulls back too soon, eyes still closed, the ghost of a smile lighting up his features.
Hizashi thinks that Shouta here, a smile on his face and standing as a dark contrast to the wildflower backdrop of the suite is probably the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. He has the urge to tell him so, to let loose and tell Shouta everything he's ever stifled, to wax poetic about him until his voice gives out, but Shouta speaks first.
"I think," he breathes, and Hizashi feels the words against his lips, "that we should have done this a long time ago."
"And I think," Hizashi quips, smirking, "that we've got more than enough time to make up for it, if that's the route you'd like to take."
Hearing the startled breath that Shouta hisses out through his nose is well worth the brief absence of his mouth on Hizashi's, he thinks; but then suddenly they're kissing again and Hizashi's torn at which is more satisfying.
But of course, of course, a loud knock at the door tears him violently out of his thoughts and crashing back into reality.
Shouta blinks, a frown pulling at the corners of his mouth, and huffs in displeasure.
"We can ignore it," Hizashi offers, pressing his mouth against the side of Shouta's exposed neck. Shouta hums contemplatively, tilting his head to the side to give Hizashi better access.
"She has a key," he replies. "She'll just come in anyway."
"Not if we barricade the door." Hizashi laughs against his throat. "Better yet, not if she hears the noises I'm about to wrench out of you."
"You're the worst," Shouta mutters, and Hizashi can't tell if he sounds more amused or exasperated. He seems to genuinely think about it for a second, though, and Hizashi laughs again when he sees him glance over at a heavy oak bookcase slotted against the wall.
"Alright, alright," Hizashi snickers, stepping away and putting his hands up in mock surrender. "Building a functional barricade would be a bit of a mood killer anyway, all things considered."
He's lying. He knows it, Shouta probably knows it, and the bookcase definitely knows it.
"I'll tell you what, though," he continues. "Because I like you so much, I'll handle answering the door. You just hang out over here and keep looking...exactly like that, actually. If you could."
He punctuates the statement with an overexaggerated wink. Shouta rolls his eyes, but he's betrayed by the way the corner of his mouth twitches upward at the admission. He quickly shakes some of his hair into his face to hide the expression, an old quirk that Hizashi isn't even sure he's aware of, and Hizashi allows himself to stare fondly for another few moments before the third knock comes and breaks him from his trance.
:)
