Hunting together ♡

Alright. So. Hm.

How should I start this?

I love the fanfic this is based on. So… I drew the last scene in Chapter 1 :D (As I post this, it’s still in Chapter 1)

The fic is titled A promise in time by rizna. Please, pretty please, read the tags AND author notes carefully before reading! I can’t bear the thought traumatising any of you because you didn’t read the tags and the notes ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38933505/chapters/97368801

As usual, a bit of my thoughts below:

I really want to go on a rambling about how I love this fanfic, but we’ll go into ABO territory and I’m not sure if I want to do that lmao. But it’s really cute! Gojou being his bocchan persona, is beautiful. And I love how affectionate Yuuji is. I’m really weak for this Yuuji and just him in general :”)

So… about the drawing.

I am really sorry for all the history nerds who may have been inflicted physically by seeing this drawing ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

I have never drawn kimono before, or at least never really seriously studying it before. And as usual, I just did a quick research on man’s kimonos in Edo Period and hoped for the best that I can trust the website. Haha what a mess :”D

The same goes for the bow and the ears, so… yeah. I don’t know why I make my life more difficult, but uh… I learn a bit, so… good for me? I guess???

At first, I want to make this full colour. Before I realise that I suck at colour theory and I just want to draw Yuuji hunting with Gojou aaaaaahhhh-

No, actually I think that’s not it.

It’s because the pose.

I can’t find good enough reference for the pose I have in mind—I tried to trace several similar poses, but it got weird because most of the poses use slim males, like, I need a bit of a muscle there, come on. So in the end… I just wing it after observing the references I got. The pose takes way too long to my liking, and this is caused by my lack of ability in perspective. I must say at some point I was internally frustrated, and that may have great influence over why I didn’t full colour the drawing. I don’t want extra stress haha.

And then the background came, and the stress was added in anyway lmaooo

It may sound like I was complaining, but it’s because of how I like the idea I have before drawing. I love the hunting scene so much—Yuuji’s so cool, Gojou finally acknowledged him and I squeal, Yuuji’s still so cool and now mysterious //gasp—I want to portray it as beautifully as possible. But alas ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

It’s interesting how I learn more about drawing through making fan art for fanfics. They never failed to push me outside of my comfort zone, and in return, I learn bit by bit about new things I otherwise would learn probably years later.

But yeah. Hopefully you enjoy the drawing, and this random essay I wrote! :D

Have a nice day!

#Yuu's art #jjk-fic-fanart #jjk-ship #jjk ship #goyuu #fanart #jjk fic #i tried my best #the lining process was really fun!#colouring it though #not so much #i hope i can make yuuji a lot cooler but alas #五悠 #5u #gojo x yuji #gojo x itadori #gojou x yuuji #goyu

9 People You Want to Get to Know Better

I was tagged by @eleonoraw. Took me a while to get to it. Thank you very much for the tag and sorry for the delay! 💖

1. Three Ships

I'll take some liberties and 4 ships:

Lawlight (my current OTP). What can I say, the enemies-to-lover and enemies-and-lovers dynamic has me captured. This ship has UST in spades. I just want them to kiss first and then go back to killing each other (literally or metaphorically, take your pick 🔥). And hey! Maybe they did kiss behind closed doors in Yotsuba arc. Their room had no cameras. Sus as hell.

NaruSaku: Naruto chases Sasuke across 50+ volumes and 500+ episodes, plus an on-screen kiss. The only people who get a genuine emotional reaction from Sasuke are his brother, the people who offer to help him take revenge on his brother, and Naruto. See the outlier here? Hint hint, nudge nudge. Yeah, they're totally gone for each other.

Bingqiu (from Scum Villain's Self Saving System, transmigrated millennial x black lotus demon lord): Shen Yuan aka Shen Qingqiu is the classic millennial (main hobby is meme, web novels, criticizing web novels, buying merch) who transmigrates into a xianxia novel's scum teacher. PS- Shen Yuan has no teaching credentials. Yeah, no way this can go wrong. Plus, oh look! There's feels too!

WangXian (from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, aka The Untamed): Lan Wangji's stead-fastness and Wei Wuxian's sheer chaotic energy has me captivated ❤.

2. First ever ship

Naruto & Sasuke. Shipped these two before I even knew what a ship was, back during the 2000s Naruto re-runs. It's a popular ship tho, so as a bonus, my second ever ship was Sun Knight/Judgment Knight, from Yu Wo's Legend of the Sun Knight. That's how I found ao3 btw. Searching for LSK fanfics 😂.

3. Last song

Mere Dil Gaye Ja (Zooby Dooby remix). Odd, I know. Alas, spotify does what it does and this one is actually an ear worm. Last English song was, 'Ka chink' by Shania Twain. A song about paying credit card bills and debt, whats not to like?

4. Last movie

Its been so long, actually had to look this up. Knives Out. Did a rewatch after Glass Onion came out.

5. Currently reading

The Republic of Thieves (third book of Gentlemen Bastards series).

6. Currently watching

The Witcher s1

7. Currently consuming

Air, water and Godiva Dark Chocolate Ganache <3

8. Currently craving

Chocolate gelato ice cream, spaghetti in spicy tomato and pesto sauce, pani puri and gulab jamun 🤤.

Andd that's it folks! Hope you enjoyed reading me rambling away lmao. Tagging others below, but its been so long, idk if they already did the game 🙈.

@dotti55 @spicyyagamis @rarepears @homoeroticide @llawlieta @kerosinom @idontevenuse-thissite

I know painfully little about your ocs and this must change 😩 you should introduce 3 of your ocs in as much or as little detail as you like. For personal scientific study

OOHOOHGOGH BOY god, i have so many that i love but alas i must only pick the current Big Three™

bless u friend for making my entire month by asking this 🥺💕

OCs I'll ramble about: Signe (TES: Skyrim), Parker (Danganronpa), and Adelynn (My Hero Academia)

🐲❄ Signe Snow-Strider ❄🐲

Fandom: The Elder Scrolls (Specifically V: Skyrim)

[Toyhouse profile]

Signe, my dearest and longest-sustained oc.... how I love her SO much

My beloved Dragonborn.... I've had her for going on 8 or 9 years now?? She's goofy, brash, has total himbo energy, and yet is so totally tragic and symbolic and it's GREAT. I actually have a 12 page document of her backstory and I'm not even half way done through the game's story LMAO

I could ramble about her backstory and characterization for DAYS, but instead I'll just link you to her tag on my TES blog SDFAFGF

[A face claim that works perfectly for her is Lagertha from Vikings!]

art by: @ thana-topsy

Some original shots of her:

And some shots from Elder Scrolls Online, with more accurate armor to what I imagine her in:

Fandom: Danganronpa

Oh Parker, one of my newer babies whom I project so much on it's insane. She's basically the 'helping' role in my own Fanganronpa story, Trailblazers! She and like, 14 other students. Yea I've fleshed this out quite a bit LMAO

She's the Ultimate Ranger, with her service/SAR dog Rosie! Gained recognition for her talent after leading a project to replant an entire forest after the Tragedy struck, which now in her college years, serves as the place for the next Killing Game. With the help of the Ultimate Jack-Of-All-Trades, Rowan, Parker does what she can to ensure her fellow classmates make it out of the botched winterim semester out on the field. Unfortunately, her restoration efforts go up in flames as rampant wildfires spread through the forest she spent years caring for, as a motive by Monokuma to the students to hurry up and kill.

Student profile:

Name: Parker Rosenberg Aliases & Titles: - "Parks"

- "Ranger"

- "The Arsonist" (despair arc)

- "Warden of the Woods" (title given by Gundham) Talent: - Ultimate Ranger

🦇🌙 Adelynn Knight 🌙🦇

Fandom: My Hero Academia

[Toyhouse profile]

[OC Tag]

Addie, another tragic baby of mine, yet is also one of the baddest bitches I've ever made. Leader of her own villain group AND practically owns a sick night club.

A villain by societal standards, Adelynn was dealt a pretty shitty deck in life. After a head injury in her younger years, her Quirk Dreamstride was mutated into Parasomnia (i previously called it Mahr), allowing her to inflict horrifying hallucinations and invoke various levels of fear and paranoia on others through eye contact. The intensity of these hallucinations scale with the amount of sleep she has: the less sleep, the more intense the visions. This also causes her brain to process anxiety almost constantly in small amounts, making it extremely hard to fall asleep. Because of her insomnia, she too experiences terrifying visions and other sensory hallucinations.

After a Quirk related incident caused by a recreational drug laced with Trigger, Adelynn endured over a year of psychiatric "treatment" and a horrendous "behavior management" camp. Demanding the country provide proper treatment for a Quirk she never asked for, instead of being treated like a high-risk criminal and stripped of her basic rights, Adelynn ends up gathering a group of other "villains" that were treated poorly by the system and sets out to prove that "malicious" Quirks don't make malicious people.

- Alias: Night Terror - Name: Adelynn Knight - Quirk: Parasomnia (currently), Dreamstride (previously) - Quirk type: Emitter; Transformation (when on trigger); Sub-type: Accumulation - Affiliations: Carpe Noctem; Meta Liberation Army (currently distant); Paranormal Liberation Front (eventually) - Combat style: Long distance; psychological; melee

Here's a giant-ass post with an overview of my BNHA ocs and the overall story I have for them!!

And an older concept doodle, along with another oc who is second in command in her group:

10, 12, 25, 36 for the writing ask game

Howdy and thanks for the ask!! I already answered #12 for Rotten which will appear under the mun rambles tag, so if you don't mind I'll go for 11 since it's between 10 and 12 lol.

10. How do you decide what to write?

Partially on a whim (which happens a lot) and partially due to interaction! Somebody says they want something and I just love to try and provide. I've got something of a wildbacklog with suggestions and the like rn. But the most consistent theme is that it's goofy shit for my favorite awful bastard man.

Also want to say the backlog just gets longer and longer because those damn whims of mine always creep up on me. Currently looking at doing another little fic around the holidays for Rotten's OC Barrett (guess im out here simping for the whole family); I have like 2 funny romcom ideas (one also from Rotten); my probably eternally unfulfilled desire to write Doc doing something science related; and then whatever else comes to mind.

My life would be easier if I just stuck to drabbles, but alas. I'm always down for goofy ideas and am willing to broaden my horizons.

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

Honestly I am a simp for Hans and I think I advertise that well enough. But beyond that, I wanna just talk for a bit about why I'm kinda drawn to Millennium as characters.

So first and foremost they're all awful people with horrible motivations and Hirano did a good job describing that. But beyond their motivations they were surprisingly well written, each with their own personality and goals. I just like the idea between dropping their characters into situations and seeing how they work. Trying to work in other stuff and testing theories to see if they work. Shrodinger and his implications on the crossover between physics and magic in Hellsing is just 👀👀👀

Like Hellsing and Iscariot are fun, too, but as far as my nerd interests and shit: the group with the mad scientist and the werewolf not-stripper I'm out here simping for kinda win that tug of war.

25. What other websites or resources do you use most often when you write?

Google, funny enough. I don't have a go-to because if I'm not wildly pulling things out of my ass or drawing on the plethora of random facts I've amassed over the years, I'm probably just googling something to check. I mean, to be fair the bulk of what I'm writing is supernatural reader-insert smut where there are next to no rules so there isn't exactly a lot to fact check lmao. I wing thr bulk of my work, for better or worse. At least I hope it's entertaining.

But if you're looking for any particular kinds of resources for knowledge or character design I could totally find something for you!

Otherwise for some of the detailed technical historical stuff, I do quite a bit of reading in my spare time. Most if my knowledge of stuff about the Nazi atomic weapons development program (what a mouthful AND a nightmare) comes from the book The Bastard Brigade. I tend to read a lot of nonfiction and I loved that one to bits.

36. Do you visualize what you read/write?

Yep! I do try, anyway. Sometimes because I want to make sure that what I write matches what's going on in my head or that physically things make sense. There's a lot of time I'll double back and say "wait shit I forgot to have so-and-so move this and now they have THREE HANDS"

So when I write I do try to keep a bit of a running visualization. And then I go back through it (maybe) and make sure it makes sense. Hopefully if you read things of mine, you find that I don't miss too much! I do all this without a formal beta, too, so it's a hell of a time if I just churn out a 26k monster. 💀

2022 favs meme! Thanks to @take-in-time for tagging me!

I truly don't remember half the things I've done but let's see! I've changed the format because it's me and I ramble.

If you want an excuse to ramble about your fave media, I'm tagging you!

favorite books

I was really into Roopa Farooki's books this year. She's a Pakistani-British writer, and her books are about dysfunctional Pakistani families that are immigrants. I read:

-Everything is True, about her time as a doctor in the first 40 days of Covid

-The Way Things Look to Me, about three siblings whose parents have died, meaning the two older siblings need to support the youngest, and how they do (or don't) do that.

-The Good Children, about four siblings, two men and two women, who grew up with an abusive mum, and how that's impacted their lives as adults

Other shoutouts to:

-Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

-the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

-the Dr Greta Helsing trilogy by Vivian Shaw, Gods of Jade and Shadow, and Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

-Waiting for Elijah by Kate Wild (this one was sad)

-The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrafer (loud screaming)

-the Something is Killing the Children Graphic Novels

-Interviews with Monster Girls manga

favorite movies

I never goddamn watch movies even though I should. So here are the ones I've watched that I enjoyed:

-The Bad Guys (the animated one with another wolf man to add to the tumblr's furry roster)

-The Batman (It was so long but yeah I really liked it!)

-Uhhhhhhhh

-Thor Love and Thunder (it was mindless, not as good as Ragnarok, but I had fun)

-Rehearsal for a Murder (I watched this one cos the local community theatre is going to produce it next year and I wanted to see if any parts suited me. Alas not. But it was a good film! Also young Jeff Goldblum lmao)

favorite songs:

-This was the year of Rina Sawayama for me, especially XS, Bad Friend, Hold the Girl, and Frankenstein

-Your Love (Deja Vu) by Glass Animals

-Go Your Own Way and the Chain by Fleetwood Mac (thanks OFMD)

-The Loneliest Time by Carly Rae Jepsen (the song not the album >.>)

-Peach by Broods

-Shake It by Loona

-Music for a Sushi Restaurant by Harry Styles (again the song not the album lmao)

Also shoutout to other Top 40 songs that kept me company on my drives for work because my car was made 2008 and has no USB ports/bluetooth: About Damn Time by Lizzo, Unholy by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Faith by Georgia Lines, Cuff It by Beyonce, Bad Habit by Steve Lacy, Late Night Talking by Harry Styles and Stay with Me by Calvin Harris

favorite shows:

-Uhhh does dimension 20 count? Well it does now. It's all I've watched.

-Also EXU: Calamity

-Also drawfee. Big year for drawfee.

-The Watcher Boys!

-And I've also gotten back into watching Dodger's streams

-Actual Shows though?? Uhhhh I've watched Spy x Family and Mob Psycho 100 and those are good

-This is a statement I'm going to put out into the world: I WILL watch succession next year, instead of just going into the tag, and watching youtube compilations

I'm adding Favourite Games because this is all I think about:

-DISCO ELYSIUM a game I have never played because I'd just get anxious but love So Much

-Persona 5, a game I have only watched a playthrough of but may One Day Play when it is less than $100 on steam

-Death's Door -it's very cute and difficult but not too hard!

-Coral Island - It's only early access but Boy it's good

-Dead Cells

-The Great Ace Attorney a game I'd like to play but am currently just watching it being streamed by Rythian

-The Case of the Golden Idol - I watched Secret Sleepover Society play it and it's So Good. It's very Obra Dinn like and that's one of my favourite games

favorite memories:

-seeing lots of plays with the acting class! especially the First Prime Time Asian Sitcom which really just drilled a hole into my brain and was like 'hey all the issues around media representation for Asian people you think about so much? lets talk about it)

-hanging out with the Coffee Crew (when I had the spoons which is not often) and laughing til I cry

-i went to the museum for my birthday and brought my family along and it went super well! We thought it would be too much for my sister cos crowds but she loved it!

-I'm a fully registered speech therapist now! I love my work, and my colleagues, in this brutal capitalist hellscape I've got one of the best jobs and workplaces ever.

-Every time I go to see a child and their face lights up because they're so happy to see me. Best part of the job!!

10, 13, 16, 21 (:

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw? SHIRT. i looove doing shirts especially baggy ones. the way cloth folds is always soemthign i enjoy especially if it has smthn like stripes on it. a nice flannel is my dream for drawing LOL. also lacy shit but thats not really a piece of clothing

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing? i dont want to tag them or name them bc what if they see it lmao BUT there's this one artist who makes just the most phenomenal art and they used to be into dh (still are just like, not as their main thing i think) and they render sooooooooooooooooooooooo beautifully. especially skin. my god. anyway right now they're very into fn/af and they make these gorgeous drawings of the human characters and i love looking at them. alas it's fn/af so . theyre not cringe abt it or whatever i just dont care for fn/af. but the art is so gorgeous and i really look up to them..

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing? hmm this ones hard bc in general theres not much i dislike doing for art! maybe anatomy? if i let myself im very good at it. but a lot of the time i either intentionally break it bc i want a better pose or im too lazy to make it good- big fan of muppet arms, me.

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways? not sure if this is what this question means since she's not like.. drawing shit. but. nan goldien makes some seriously phenomenal work (i found out about her through the book "In the making: creative options for contemporary art" which i highly recommend). she does photography of her everyday life, and carries her camera around and takes pictures so much that her friends don't even blink at it anymore. it's very very like.. personal and intimate, both for herself and her friends, and she does shows where she just hangs all the photos up... it's really hard hitting shit + it makes me feel sooo many emotions bc of her ties to the lgbt community (esp during the aids crisis) and its just. MAN!!! i digress im rambling a bit. but she's just incredible and so is her work.

#hi lucy :] thank u for the ask!!#im going to go find some of that artists work and rb it so u can see it. one moment

@midnightmoi I accidentally deleted this one I am so sorry-

(Pls reblog and leave a comment ❤)

One Light Blue Petal And One Fluffy Cloud

▪ Trey considered his situation... ironic

▪ His family owned a brightly decorated bakery, and he was also tasked with baking, yet he couldn't actually see the colours of the tarts, cakes, and other treats

▪ It was... almost funny watching others gush over a tart that looked completley grey and muted to him

▪ Still, Trey took it in stride, despite the setbacks it caused his already struggling eyesight

▪ He had really hoped this would go away by the time he was in Night Raven College, but alas, fate decided otherwise

▪ Three years in, still not a drop of colour

▪ He had gotten used to Riddle and others apologising when they rambled about pretty colours when he was around

▪ It was just something he had to live with

▪ He did not expect one of the newest first years in Heartslabyul to be his soulmate...

After the Entrance Ceremony, Trey began leading their newest batch of Heartslabyul members with Riddle.

Everyone was talking animatedly with each other... except for one. Trey stayed back and waited for you to pass by before touching your shoulder. "Hey. Are you alright?" You looked up at him and the flourish of colour that sprang forth was almost blinding.

You both stumbled back in surprise and stared at each other.

"Well." Said Trey, fixing his glasses. "This was unexpected." He sent a perfect smile your way. "I'm Trey Clover, your soulmate."

The events that followed were stressful. Gossip spread like wildfire in Heartslabyul, and soon you were the talk of the week. Some lucky first year was the vice dorm leader's soulmate.

One Cater Diamond actually chased you down with his phone recording, trying to get you to answer questions.

Riddle... didn't seem to have much of an opinion on you, however he did hold you under a magnifying glass because it was clear he wanted his childhood friend's partner to be perfect.

You sighed and closed the door to Trey'a room behind you. The Heartslabyul dorm was utterly wacko. You actually would've rather taken Octavinelle.

"What's wrong?" Asked Trey from his desk. He had turned in his seat to look at you.

You leaned against the mahogany door and stared into Trey's gorgeous honey gold eyes.

"Your dorm mates are insane." He chuckled and you pouted. "It's not funny!" "I'm sorry, love, but that's just how they are. C'mere." He opened his arms and you went to hug him. "Do something about the phone addict." Trey laughed. "I will, don't worry."

He hugged you tightly, but not too tightly,and it was so warm and comforting. You melted into him. This man was aa blessing. Your protector and your cornerstone... He meant everything to you.

"Thank you so much for bringing colour to my life, Trey..."

-END

..................................................................................

A/N: Super fluff with our resident househusband. Hope you enjoyed!

Also, anyone ever stop to think about what a shock to the brain it would be to suddenly have to process all those colours?

Tagging @honey-milk-depresso lmao

hiii fi!

just here to say that im AGAIN lurking on your blog because you write literal gold and if i could inject your works into my bloodstream i would but alas, just gotta read everything you’ve ever written every two weeks to get that sarah toe nin 😮‍💨

anyways lmao you’ve actually inspired me to start writing again!! lowkey i was also a 1d fanfic writer back in the day but that’s neither here nor there it’s been so long since ive published anything that im kinda nervous to!! i have a few things written that i think are done, but idk how to write a good synopsis or do relevant yet witty tags or anything like that. do you have any advice for publishing fanfic in the kpop community? especially with like ao3 and tumblr?

i hope this isn’t an annoying ask because i know you must get so many!! i just really admire you and your vibes ngl. hope you’re having a fab day and that your degree isn’t kicking your ass like mine is lmao 🥲

- 😽

i get so nervous sending in anon asks because i’m worried i’ll forget which emoji i chose lmaooo

ah, the elusive sarah toe nin. an icon.

yayy, writing again! do it! and also there are more of us out there than we like to pretend, the 1d fanfic community was great and terrifying

fun fact: i'm honestly kinda bad at writing synopsis, which is why i always choose a juicy quote to use instead. something that informs the reader on the tone of the fic, or the dynamic between characters, without spoiling the actual events of the fic 😊

as for witty ao3 tags, i'd say go for some kind of quippy description for each of your main leads. you don't want to overdo your tags bc then the fic looks messy, but you still want a few to keep it from looking too sparse. i'm sure i don't have to remind you that warnings take priority first though 😊

asks are never annoying, thank you so much for sending this! i'm glad you're enjoying my ramblings so far, have a good day ❤️ and my degree is absolutely kicking my ass but ssshhh let's not acknowledge that

Fanfiction Review

I can already tell this is gonna be super confusing bc I've been writing fic since I was 12 but have since gone through so many identity changes. But let's play anyway!

Thanks for the tag @redead-red

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

My current library is 8. I don't actually write fanfic too often unless a specific idea intrigues me-- or something in the fanon just doesn't line up with me. I do have at least 4ish more stories planned and maybe a revised version of an ancient story from when I was young. 2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

166,451! Pretty neato!

3. How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

Uh, in no specific order,

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (lost to purging)

Doctor Who (you ain't gonna find these)

Sonic

NiGHTs into Dreams

Dead by Daylight (<3)

Danny Phantom (my beloathed) Supernatural (my other beloathed)

and uhhhh, I think a bunch of various other video games I can't remember. For the sake of brevity I'm gonna put the rest under the cut.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

This is actually pretty funny bc I have so few fics released. I only get emails for certain ones all the time, so I wrote this part out by guessing, but I ended up not needing to change it. (also, don't read most of these; they're old and bad)

1. Schrodinger's Adolescent, 337 Kudos (Danny Phantom)

2. Teen Years and How to Survive Them, 97 Kudos (Secret Trio)

3. Two Fake Feds Come up the Laneway the other dayyyyyy, 56 Kudos (Letterkenny/Supernatural)

4. Brother's Keeper, 40 Kudos (Halloween, DBD)

5. Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon, 37 Kudos (Sonic)

5. Which of your fic do you want more attention for?

I'll be real here, I still enjoy most of the work I did for both Beach House Bummer, and Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon. I just wish I got more love for the latter bc I might be inspired to finish it lmao.

6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I really try to! I love the long rambly comments I get on Schrodinger's because I can feel those people are giving me the same passion I put into my work-- Though most of the time I get the generic "post more" or "update plz" which I dunno I'm grateful for the interaction. Still, I don't really want to repeat like "I'm trying my best, dude." about 12 times a day.

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I'll be real I only have two completed fics rn-- but I can tell you I had this one fic that I wrote when I was fourteen where the ninja turtles had to burn down a lab full of half-born mutant embryos, and like I remember writing that and then going to middle school the next day like "They don't know I'm a literary genius."

8. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Probably the Letterkenny/Supernatural crossover-- I feel very strongly about SPN and how people take it way too seriously, so when I found out it was filmed in Canada. It used famous Canadian actors from the show Letterkenny, it felt way too good to pass up. I do hope to write in that space again when I'm feeling less depresso-espresso.

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yeah. It's probably a big reason why you'll never see the tmnt fics for a while. I also used to write a lot of OC stories, and this was back in 2014 so like those were def hit the hardest. I'm glad to say it's like... subsided for the most part. I don't get hate as much as I just get really confusing and creepy comments, which don't hurt my rejection-sensitive-ass as much.

10. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Hahahaha, no.

I am kind of bad at writing it, and I don't really like writing it. Which yeah that makes sense. My friends sometimes when they find out I write fanfic as a joke they'll send me some of the worst examples smut they can find and to test my talent I'll try to rewrite it to make it some kind of titillating-- but alas it just isn't my forte. The cons of being an asexual I guess.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Uh, yes and no? I think I had one of my older fics stolen, retranslated, and then retranslated again to English? That was so long ago tho.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I'd love to give it a shot sometime.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Honestly, it's sonadow. I know it's cringe but I'm free, dammit. Outside of that I guess my favorite dynamic is jock/nerd, which you've probably gleaned from my resume here fhsdkjf.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I've been working on Teen Years and How to Survive them since I was 16, I only started making headway on it when I was 19-- so I feel like that speaks for itself hskjhg.

15. What are your writing strengths?

It's been told to me that I'm very funny and I write convincing dialog that captures a character's voice. Which is extremely flattering despite the fact that I feel like I'm tricking you all.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

probably scenery and landscape, if I'm honest. I also accidentally keep creating scenes just for the dialog instead of action or environment.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think as long as I can guess what they're saying from context clues, and the writer is courteous enough to include body language and the like, then it's mostly harmless. I love including a bunch of references in fic whether it's cultural, historical, or just like a quote from a movie or something so I have a bunch of tabs open regardless it wouldn't be too inconvenient for me to fire up google translate or something.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Probably Schrodinger's Adolescent, it really opened up a lot of doors for me in the DP fandom and I got to meet a lot of cool people because of it. It really cheered me up from a dark place. And despite me writing it initially out of anger and spite its grown into this soft thing that really means a lot to me.

20. What fic are you most proud of?

Honestly, I can't pick. I'm both embarrassed by them all and yet glad they bring people some form of comfort.

Uhhhh who to tag-- I don't really know

@ten0rreaper is the only one I can think of-- whoever else I guess can have at it. I'm not very good at these things lmao.

A Moment As An Optimist

[ao3] [Ch 2]

Fandom: The Penumbra Podcast

Relationship: Lord Arum/Sir Damien/Rilla

Characters: Lord Arum, Sir Damien, Rilla

Additional Tags: Second Citadel, Lizard Kissin’ Tuesday, Established Relationship, Forbidden Love , (alas.......), miscommunication followed quickly by communication

Summary: It is one of Damien's favorite events of the entire year, all revelry and romance and joy, and he cannot wait to share it with his lovers. Or- with one of them, at least.

Notes: Title from the song Heart of a Pessimist, by Be Steadwell, a song which also p well vibes with the fic as a whole. Also, just to... get out ahead of this a little, but I'm gonna be taking a break from fanfic for the month of November so I can properly do NaNoWriMo again this year! Which is exciting! But it also means that I'm gonna publish fic on tuesdays for the rest of October, and then November is gonna be radio silence from my end, on here at least. You can come hmu on tumblr @jakkubrat if you wanna see me just, shrieking at the void about writing in general, but I doubt any of y'all are interested in that. Anyway I love you. Hope you like this one! I intend to get the second chapter out before my little hiatus :3c

"And then," Damien says, gesturing wildly with his hands, "after the sparring demonstrations and the feast, the square is cleared and the musicians take their place of honor. They will play, and play, and play the whole rest of the evening. Songs quick and full of giddy joy, songs steeped with contemplation and longing and love, all manner of melodies in the in-between, and they will not cease playing- not until the very last of us has grown too fatigued for further footwork. Only when the very last of the revelers has succumbed to exhaustion, only then will the music finally fade into the more natural song of the night."

Damien sighs deeply, then, his hand pressing over his heart as he fixes his eyes on the middle distance.

"I'll admit the dancing is pretty fun, at least," Rilla says with a shrug, her own tone much more casual. "Food's not too bad either."

"Pretty fun!" Damien cries, his eyes sparking with excitement. "Oh, damning with such faint praise, my love! It is quite reliably among the most enjoyable events of the year! Why- oh, I could not possibly forget the year when you and I danced clear through until the dawn, and when finally we relented we were so terribly exhausted that we barely clung to each other long enough to stumble to the closest inn to properly collapse- a battle more draining that my greatest conquests, and still I do not think there has been a day I have laughed quite so heartily, nor been so blessed with your own laughter and love! Oh, Rilla, perhaps this year they will play that one particular song- that one with those quick triplets, the one that played just as they lit the lanterns last year, oh, and Arum! When the drums begin, then we could-"

He pauses.

"We- y-you and I could- could-"

Damien notices, quite suddenly, the low growl emanating from his lizard love. He notices the wince upon Rilla's face, as well.

Damien swallows, pulling his hand back to press over his heart as it sinks, and sinks, and sinks.

"We could... what?" Arum murmurs, slow and measured and vicious. "What, precisely, could we do at your festival, honeysuckle?"

"I-" Damien's breath catches. "I... I only..." he buries the hitch in his throat in a slight cough. "I... I managed to get quite ahead of myself, I'm afraid," he says in a muted voice. "So excited was I to share such joy... I did not even think."

"You certainly did not," Arum hisses. "How little prompting you require to forget, hm? To forget entirely that I am a monster."

"No," Damien says quickly, shaking his head. "I- I did not forget- how could I possibly? Arum-"

"Or to forget me entirely, perhaps-"

"I did not forget you," Damien says. "I forgot them. I forgot- I forgot every single thing in the world, besides you, and Rilla, and I, and... and the idea of spending a whole long evening with you both, dancing in the lamplight."

"I imagine the evening would be rather short, in fact. Hardly a minute would pass before I was slain."

"That's not fair," Rilla snaps, pushing off from the wall and glaring at the monster, but Damien's heart is still swirling and tumbling and the image- Arum at the festival, dancing at their sides, the cries of alarm and fear and hatred, the blades-

"Very little is," Arum snarls. "I am merely pointing out the obvious. It does not matter what we want- what he wants. That door is not open to us, and to pretend otherwise is foolishness itself."

"You know he wasn't trying to make you feel left out-"

"I-" Arum laughs, bitter and brittle and unconvincing. "I feel no such thing. I do not care. In fact- in fact, I do not have the first clue why we are still discussing it. Should you not be on your way already?" He snarls, and then he folds his arms over his chest, visibly settling himself. "Go on, then," Arum says, his voice flat and toneless, but Damien- Damien can't help but hear the current of pain beneath it. Judging by the way Rilla's expression shifts, just slightly, she can hear it too. "Go on. If this event is so terribly exciting, you should scuttle off to your Citadel and start your revelry already."

"Arum," Damien starts, his voice gentle, and Arum's snout wrinkles.

"I don't need your pity, honeysuckle," he hisses quickly, turning to pace with his cape billowing behind him. "We all know exactly what time we may steal away with each other. We all know what we are allowed, and what we are not." He turns his head away, his lip curling up to show the edges of his teeth. "It hardly matters anyway. I do not expect that any human celebration would be of any interest to me whatsoever. Music is only music and food is only food and I can very well find some of my own anywhere I should like."

"Arum," Rilla says, her voice quiet but firm, and Arum's scowl deepens.

"What? What, precisely, have I gotten wrong? In what way is my understanding of the situation flawed? I have no interest in-"

"I won't go."

Arum blinks, stumbling from his pacing to a halt, and his frill begins to sink as Rilla turns towards Damien again.

Damien shakes his head, feeling the tightness in his throat and attempting not to let it become evident in his voice. "I won't. I- I do not want to. It is only by necessity that I am ever anywhere that you cannot safely accompany. By Saint Damien above why should I ever want to revel and ramble and partake in such a joy if I cannot share it with the both of my loves? Why-"

"Oh, Damien-"

Rilla steps closer, one hand reaching to grip his wrist, and Damien feels the heat at the corners of his eyes and shakes his head again, more fiercely.

"This festival has always and only ever brought me joy, brought me closer to and more familiar with love, with beauty and delight, and- and I could not even consider those concepts for one moment without thinking of you as well, Arum, and- and- and I cannot bear the idea of suffering an event I once loved so dearly without you by our sides. It is unthinkable, I could not- I will not."

Arum stares at him for a long moment, his frill sinking further, his throat rattling.

"I won't," Damien says again, more quietly. "Not without you."

Arum inhales slowly, his expression folding into more visible pain, and he hisses through his teeth and winces before he responds.

"No," he says slowly, his voice low and rumbling. "No, I can't abide-" he pauses, and then sighs, dropping his eyes. "No. I didn't- I did not- I spoke rashly and- no. I didn't mean to- to-" he clenches his teeth again, lifting a hand to scrub down his face. "No. This... this event is... significant to you, honeysuckle. I know that it is not your fault, nor hers, nor mine, that we cannot enjoy it together. It is no one's fault, it is simply the truth. It is simply... the world, as it is. But-" he hesitates, and then he sighs again and steps closer, reaching to brush his hand down Damien's arm.

Damien sags instantly at the contact, immediately closing the remaining gap, folding himself against Arum's chest as Rilla lets go of his wrist, stepping up behind him instead and touching his back with soothing hands.

"But, little honeysuckle, that does not mean you both should not enjoy it regardless. Clearly I should not like to be without you, but I would be much more unhappy if my mere existence kept you from something you so clearly adore."

Damien blinks, and then he lifts his face to frown up at the monster. "But, Arum-"

"This is important to you," he murmurs. "And it is important to me that our arrangement does not prevent you from taking little joys where you can. I apologize for... for snapping at you, in my frustration." He leans down, nudging their foreheads together and sighing. "I am sorry that I allowed my own... that I turned my own pain outward to cause you distress as well. I want you to go. I want you to go, and I want you to enjoy the evening as much as you are able."

Damien makes a small noise, helpless, and then he wraps his arms around the monster and squeezes, hugging him tightly enough that Arum gives a surprised exhale, and then a low soft laugh.

"Oh Arum-"

"I want you to be happy, Damien. I want you both to be happy, even if I cannot be always by your side to be happy with you."

Damien hugs Arum even tighter for a moment, until the monster makes a small breathless noise, and then he loosens his grip enough that he can tilt his head, pressing a kiss to the edge of Arum's jaw, and he cannot help but feel the tears rallying again at the gentle purring noise that rumbles deep in Arum's throat.

"I love you," Damien croons, his lips still touching scales. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry we cannot-"

"It is no one's fault," Arum says again, even more gently. "What we have together already, despite the current conflict... what we have together is already something miraculous. We should not be greedy, I think," he grumbles, his voice performatively grumpy, and Damien chokes on a laugh.

"Oh, so greedy of us, wanting to dance together," Rilla grumbles behind him, her hands gentle on his sides, and he's surprised to hear a small note of sourness in her voice.

"Still," Damien says after a moment, soft and sad. "Still. I cannot help my feelings, cannot help how much I wish..."

Arum nuzzles Damien's cheek with his snout, sighing. "I know. Loathe as I am to admit it... clearly I wish, as well. We knew this would be... complicated when we began together. This is simply something we must swallow, for the moment. Perhaps, someday, we will not need to."

"I do not want to leave you here alone while Rilla and I-"

"I will be fine, honeysuckle," Arum says, shifting back enough that he can lift a hand to brush Damien's hair from his forehead. "I promise. To begin with, I am not alone, so to speak. I am never alone within my Keep."

"You know that isn't what he meant," Rilla says, and Arum rolls his eyes.

"Obviously. But I meant only to assure him that I will not be curled into a ball and wallowing. I will have company, should I desire it, and I will be fine. I apologize, again, for speaking cruelly to you. I've... gotten it out of my system, as Amaryllis is fond of saying," he says with a light sneer, and Damien can see him burying a grin as Rilla raises a skeptical eyebrow at him. "I will not be too terribly bothered by anything but the lack of your warmth. It is only one evening, after all."

"Well... I suppose, if- if you are certain-"

"I am certain, honeysuckle." He nudges his snout against Damien's temple, then, a sweet echo of a kiss, and then he steps back, squeezing Damien's hands before he drops them. "You should go. I will be dearly disappointed if I have managed to entirely ruin this evening for you."

Damien frowns, his stomach still twisting with uncertainty, with how wrong it feels to leave in such a way. "But-"

"He said he'd be fine, Damien," Rilla says, and her shrug is exactly as casual as her words, but when Damien turns towards her to continue to voice his distress, she-

Winks, with the eye that Arum cannot see in their current positions.

"It's just one night. We'll all manage to muddle through for just tonight, and then we'll all do something together later this week. Okay?"

Damien frowns, very lightly, his confusion bubbling, but-

Well. He knows her, knows that particular quirk of her lips, knows the way her eyebrows raise when she silently tells him to trust, to trust her.

He does, of course. He always does.

"I... I suppose..." he murmurs, still confused enough that he cannot think of any better words to say.

"We'll make an appearance, at least. If we aren't enjoying ourselves, there's no reason not to just... slip out early, yeah? And-" she turns to Arum, ducking her head slightly as she lifts a hand to touch his shoulder, smiling when he leans into the contact. "Can we just... come back here later tonight? Just to sleep, or- whatever. You don't have to wait up for us, if you don't want to, but-"

"Of course you may," Arum says quickly, frowning. "Always. You are always welcome and wanted, here." And then, as if to soften the certainty, the enormity of the always he has just offered, he scowls. "And I certainly will not wait up, so you may waste no consideration on that outcome."

Rilla grins, soft and bright and sweet, and Damien knows as well as she does that the monster is lying.

"I love you," Damien says again, because he cannot hold the words inside while they sit scalding at the back of his tongue.

Arum's expression softens, surprise and aching fondness shaping his features, and he steps closer again so he may pull the both of them into his arms.

"I love you as well," the monster murmurs, sighing into their hair. "Now go and have your fun, will you? I expect further tales of glory and exultation when you return."

"Love you too," Rilla says with a snorting laugh, rolling her eyes as she pushes his scaled arms away, but Damien's heart still aches.

"I..." he trails off, uncertain, and he clings to one of Arum's hands for another moment.

"Please," Arum says softly. "Enjoy the evening for me, if you cannot enjoy it with me. I will still be here, when you tire of the lamplight."

"Alright," Damien says slowly, and then he kisses the back of Arum's hand before he releases it. "Until tomorrow, then, Lord Arum."

When the Keep opens a portal for them back to Rilla's hut, Damien does his best not to allow his eyes to linger on his lily for too terribly long. Rilla takes him by the hand, thankfully, and her unruffled feathers soothe Damien's own jagged edges as the portal closes again behind them.

When they are alone, Damien sighs, but he rallies his nerves in only a moment, and he raises an eyebrow as Rilla's grin goes toothy and wild.

"Alright. Alright, my flower. May I know, now, precisely what you have planned for our love?"

"Okay," Rilla says, her voice nearly trembling with her sly delight, "so, tell me if you like this idea-"

30, 36, 99 for unusual asks!

✨ Hello! thank you for sending these in! I hope you didn't feel obligated because of what I put in the tags of the post! But thank you regardless!

whats your favorite candle scent?

oh i have smelled many a candle in my day, but my absolute favorite candle has to be this tri-tiered candle by WoodWicks. it has three different scents in the candle but they all go together because they have the same... smell flavors? i’m not a savant in describing smell so i hope that makes sense. the three scents are Fireside, Redwood, and Sandalwood Clove and together they make the Trilogy Warm Woods candle and with the wooden wick, the flame crackles nicely and oh i miss being able to have scented candles but alas I have a little bird who cannot have such things around. But basically, the candle smells like a sweet smoky campfire! and that is my favorite scent in the world, and the fact they manage it in a candle is just amazing.

sorry, i rambled there kjghgj im very passionate about this candle you see.

favorite movie?

i am very fond of the horror genre, mostly because i have a hypercritical eye of the media i consume, mostly movies, because I have always wanted to work in movie business. my dream was to be a screen writer (bc i write quite a lot and wrote scripts for a play in theater) or a cinematographer, so i’ve done a lot of research on how movies work in terms of camera work, effects and all of that. i say all of this so you know i am very,,, harsh when it comes to movies.

that being said i have 3 movies i would consider to be favorites and one of them i could point out to be my favorite and it is not the best one out of those three lmao.

Oldboy (2003) do not mix it up with the remake, the remake is awful. this is a very VERY good movie, very technically competent, and has a very good story. I would say this is one of the best movies i, as a film buff, have ever seen.

Martyrs (2008) also do not mix this one up with the remake, this movie is not for the faint of heart, very bloody, it’s ... basically torture p*rn in my opinion. it’s fucked up. do your research about it before watching it if you do. this movie kind of lacks a bit in the visuals and effects in some parts, (that’s if youre paying attention and not getting completely squicked out by what’s happening) but also a very competent movie, with an interesting plot and a very compelling ending that shook me to my core. it actually took me watching it twice to understand the gravity of what it meant lmao

Scream (1996) i mean i don’t have to say much about this movie as most people have seen it and it is a classic. this is what i would say is my favorite movie out of all three just because of the character development through the movie and the entertainment value. if you haven’t seen it, i definitely recommend you do. even if you’re not a horror fan, it’s worth the watch, it’s really not scary, it’s technically a slasher flick and they almost exclusively use practical effects so it’s just fake blood everywhere. lmao i think it’s on netflix right now.

i have so much ghost face memorabilia i literally have a ghost face mask hanging behind me and i commissioned this like three-foot tall poster that’s holographic and beautiful i framed it with a big fancy frame too lmfao

okay sorry for rambling again. that’s just another passion of mine that i dont get to talk a lot about,,,

what is your zodiac sign

my sun is aquarius, i am a cancer moon, and a saggitarius rising!

❝ Girls like her were born in a storm. They have lightning in their souls. Thunder in their hearts. And chaos in their bones. ❞ AISHA DEE? No, that’s actually ROXANNE WEASLEY. A SIXTH YEAR student, this RAVENCLAW student is sided with MCGONAGALL’S ARMY. SHE identifies as CIS-WOMAN and is a HALFBLOOD who is known to be DRAMATIC, HAUGHTY, and TEMPERAMENTAL but also PASSIONATE, SOCIABLE, and OPENMINDED.

LINKS: stats, pinboard, character tag. CHARACTER PARALLELS: donna pinciotti (that 70s show), amy pond (doctor who), amy santiago (brooklyn 99), dan wilds (aftg) HELLO just a quick note from me mar, some of this is for sure up for change, mostly regarding the wotters and family in general!! besides that, here we finally Go

history

roxanne voice: i was born in an iconic family because it was my destiny to be iconic! but --- in all honesty --- she is right. roxanne is born to george & angelina one hot summer morning, waking up the whole damn hospital with her crying and huge lungs. she has a brother --- fred, who’s officially her half brother, but that’s not something that makes him anything less than her brother. and then there’s heaps of cousins, almost too many of them, and uncles and aunts and other people to call family, and from day one, it’s all good.

roxanne was a chaotic kid, growing up. a cheerful and energetic and exciting one, but a chaotic one. dirty walls and destruction followed her wherever she went. a bit of a hurricane of a girl, even then. roxanne discovered her love for quidditch at a young age, too, and how couldn’t she? it was in her blood and all around her and there was something bloody magical about flying.

a love for people and laughter and loving people was also discovered. roxanne grew up in a warm environment and had plenty of reasons to love the people she loved, even if she needed none. there was, of course, tragedy in her blood too, an awareness that there’s horrible things in this world --- an awareness that she buried as soon as she was able to.

upon arrival at hogwarts, the hat took a while to decide between gryffindor and ravenclaw but went with the latter, in the end. was roxanne disappointed? a bit, maybe. she would have liked to be sorted into the same house as her parents and brother and a lot of her family but the hat had made some solid points and heck, she wouldnt be roxanne if she looked at ravenclaw as a challenge.

was eventually sorted in ravenclaw because her mind, in the end, is her motivator. she might be a very physically active and present person, but she thinks. a lot. about everything. ( with an exception for moments where she acts on impulse. ) roxanne is a very bright individual, to be honest --- she’s able to be booksmart and she likes learning. she likes challenging herself. above all, she just has a Very open mind and is always looking to broaden it.

is a whirlwind. roxanne joined and dropped clubs like no other, switched favourite subject every month, delved into odd sections of the library to become an expert on rare subjects ... it was a lot. her grades suffered under it, too --- roxanne might be a loyal person, but she’s damn flighty. there were, of course, passions that she stuck with. quidditch, of course, but also justice. roxanne, as a queer woman of colour, has always felt very passionately for human rights issues and knows shit about it too. always down for a debate over lunch. getting on the quidditch team was one of the best days of her damn life. getting the quidditch badge later on was an even better day. roxanne loves the sport so much, wants to go pro once she’s graduated, is crazy competitive. she’s a gay jock. another cliché character by mar learned eventually how to focus and keep her grades up, but she does have trouble motivating herself for things that dont interest her. she’s just not an academic. she likes learning, loves it actually --- but hates the way she has to do it at school. hates it. she’s still working hard to get good grades, of course, because she gets that that’s part of life but she just really... wishes it wasnt. [ death, murder tw so life was going pretty good and then her uncle was murdered and everything went to shit like that. and--- here’s roxanne’s question: how in the living hell do you deal with that? she doesn’t know, that’s for sure. she knows that she’s angry. that she’s absolutely livid and not sure what to do with the grief in her chest because damn it, that’s not her thing, not at all. she’s sickened with worry. she mostly is enraged at the world and that this is happening and that people can be like this. end of tw ]

so joining the DA was something roxanne didn’t even think about. she just did it. her studies, once again, have taken a backseat while she pushes all her energy into the DA and the team, as that functions as something ... as close as therapeutic as she can get, i suppose. leading her team, searching that snitch, hoping to win, win, win --- all things that in the grand scheme of things dont matter but do make it easier to deal.

roxanne ... she’s a lot. she’s a fucking lot. she’s a mess.

personality & rambling

roxanne does NOTHING half heartedly; she either commits fully or doesn’t do something at all. she doesn’t do half-assing, doesn’t believe in it — this got her in a fair amount of trouble at hogwarts (handing in 10/10 homework or ,,, not doing it or barely doing it) and she knows it’s a bad attitude to have, deep down. not that she’s admitted that to herself yet, though. things have been put in perspective now, though. it’s clear that there’s no room for just doing what she wants to do and what she feels like, so she’s ... improving ( and yet completely abandoning her studies lmao )

when roxanne is passionate about something, she goes on about it for a long time. loves ranting about topics that drive her, is very vocal of her views and thoughts and hardly shuts up about it. can be condescending, at times; roxanne believes she’s always right, has little humility to her — she often doesn’t try to put herself in other people’s shoes, thinks that anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. it’s a thinking pattern she’s trying to shake, but alas; it’s easier said than done.

this is also a way for her to cope with her insecurities, tbh; she puts others down in her head so she can lift herself up. unhealthy!!! yikes! it’s something she’s pretty unaware of.

i mean, roxanne is, deep down, very fucking insecure. she has this surname that’s got a bit of fame to it and she has such high ideals for everyone around her including herself. especially for herself. her confidence is not completely feigned, i think part of it is definitely real, but part of it is definitely a mask

roxanne LOVES music. she’s into everything that either is a jam, old classic rock or has a damn good message. she’s v passionate abt it. her spotify? gold. she’s also a good singer! this video is literally roxanne im sorry aisha dee move over! honestly if she had mroe time she would try and get into music bc she would love that but yeno quidditch is the name of the game (someone show her hsm and show her that u can do both)

she’s so competitive someone please stop her from fighting everyone over quidditch

uh she’s just very... much. she’s outgoing and loud and dramatic and her emotions are like! all over the place! and change very easily! she thinks she’s a lot herself too tbh she’s constantly exhausted from herself which i think is valid and relatable on a personal lvl for me.

possible plots

friendos roxanne loves ppl and loving ppl so let’s go and have some FRIENDS up in this building. couldve met through family things, in the library, on the pitch, in dueling club, in any other club that roxanne was in for a short amount of time, etc etc etc. roxanne is fairly easy to place at hogwarts bc she’s everywhere

quidditch competition just give me all the plots if you have a fellow quidditch pal because roxanne is ready to fight to the death for that cup!!

dumbledore’s army bros people that roxanne got to know better through the da would be v interesting because it’s a ??? weird base for a friendship or dynamic ( i mean, a tough one. like ... we’re buds because we’re fighting for a cause whihc we shouldnt even be fighting for bc the world shouldnt be like this )

idk roxanne is literally so all over the place, if your character is at hogwarts im sure we can plot something??? enemies, shenanigan pals, exes, study buddies, etc etc etc

anyways, ill say bye now... i hope ure well rested and have a good day!! (wait, i remember what i wanted to ask!! at least i think this is what i wanted to ask? anywys, do u know what u want to do now that ure finished w school? if u dont mind me asking, of course, i understand if u think its a bit personal!) ok, now im done, have a good day!! take care and stay hydrated!! (and now i really did send u a bunch of asks..)

omg i hope u dont mind but ill be answering the stuff from ur last ask here (the one where i… deleted everything) under cut bc itll be 2x longer now

so first !!!!! how i got into kpop!!! it was thanks to my good pal (@.briwoon) boxy! i follow her on twitter and despite her being a day6 stan twt i had her unmuted anyway bc.. after years of being an anime blog on tumblr and seeing all my anime mutuals slowly converting into kpop blogs one by one i was able to filter the kpop out of my brain?? smth like that since back then i wasnt into kpop and i didnt want to unfollow since im mutuals with most of them :-0

another backstory - i was one of those people who never saw themselves getting into kpop? and i think the main reason was bc i thought liking kpop would make u seem lame?? due to the influence from people around me?? but as years went by and as my mutuals changed interests it stopped bothering me and that mindset kind of just? faded away bc who am i to call other people’s happiness bad?? but despite being okay with it i never really made the move to get into any groups lmao that was until i got tired of my interest at that time (seiyuu, japanese voice actors) and my interests would always. not last?? idk so maybe thats why i didnt want to get invested but it happened regardless

anyway usually i wouldnt take notice of her rts but this . this beautiful man with orange hair and minion glasses caught my eye when i was scrolling through my timeline and i was like o worm? oh mu god? hes beautiful? so i slid into her dms and asked her whomst the beautiful man was and she sent me all their mvs after that from congratulations to i smile (the most recent mv at that time, late june) for me to watch :-D now at that time, from what little knowledge i had of kpop.. i understood that groups would be singing and dancing so i was prepared to see some sick moves or smth?? but then. i clicked on miss i smile and my wig flew off? bc… wtf.? they were playing instruments???? and they sounded good ??? so i was like oh my god? a band??????

before day6 i also had (have) a preference for bands and the way their music sounds so i was like?? ready to just. get on board yknow?? i watched how can i say and i saw the lanky noodle wearing glasses and i was like o fuck mu life? i caved and asked boxy for their names and other information and best decision of my life bc.. they really make me happy!!! after that like the day after ? myabe they did a vlive and i was like o shit? what do i do… so i downloaded the vapp and wowie i love it? its my second home…… i watched every vlive they had at that time and i thought that was a lot… (it isnt, compared to mx) and i was just rly content??

(ok i know u asked for kpop and not … day6 or other groups bc im gonna talk abt how i got into mx and astro too bc…… how can i Not.. u can skip this part tho i just wanna ramble abt my loves? ill tell u when u can continue)

that was peak happiness for me at that time.. until… boxy started talking about monsta x in our groupchat (with @.tokayhk) and she would just ramble abt this kihyun fella (who i vaguely knew bc my real life friend likes him and mx and i bought her his pc before along with the guilty clan part 2) so i was like hmm interesting… and honestly? i wasnt going to get into monsta x i really wasnt planning on asking her abt them (since i was scared id lose interest in day6 right after) but then.. she started linking videos and i .. my resolve crumbled down as i heard monsta x yelling and … this beautiful cover (which boxy sent to show us how powerful kihyuns vocals are but i was 2 focused on mister aka minhyukku) and she told us how funny these monsta men are and i was like o h no…………….. eventually one day in late august i asked her to tell me more about these monstas…… aftert that i watched every mxray episode (starting from season 2 bc i dont know 1 comes before 2) and even though i didnt know anyone who was on screen except jooheon i found it really funny and?? it made me laugh so much i love mx?? ya… boxys kind of like my guardian angel?? shes really the reason im living tbh… introducing me to all these lovely people?? thank u miss boxy i love u

now. for the astrosus….. they were a bit different.. because i didnt have boxys help and they were the first group i took interest in solely bymyself so i knew i was in for a wild ride (at first, i couldnt even differentiate brian from sungjin in day6 lmao) after stanning monsta x and day6 i became more?? open to kpop and i started watching unhelpful guides on youtube bc . they were funnie and idk its nice??/ and i stumbled upon the astro one (which wasnt that funny but more helpful than anythng) and i was like. oh worm? the cicada group… bc i watched a short clip of them catching that stupid cicada in their office as it appeared on my tl one day so i clicked on the video ..and after watching that it led me to another video of astro being extra for 6 minutes and those six minutes/????? best six minutes of my life because theyre so fnny and they made me laugh a lot? (combined with the editing from op) so bc they were funnie i decided to look them up and read their profiles/??? i watched their nimdle video and only knew mj bc his tag was the two letters m and j lol but it really made me bust both of my lungs i just?? laughed A Lot

im not sure how i managed to put name to face so quickly but it mightve been bc after the nimdle videos i watched every ddoca and astro play as well as their vlives available bc.. i just inhale the content at godspeed??

for mx and astro i was drawn in by their personalities before their music because they were on more variety shows and had more chances to show dorky they all are which made it way quicker for me to fall for the two groups??? for day6 its a bit sad but the weekly scheduled vlives arent enough for me to tell what kind of people they are (although those r still hilarious) i just wish they would go on more variety shows?? its understandable if they themselves dont want to be on any shows though!!! i love all 3 groups with all my heart :-D

ok if u skipped u can start from here ill be answering the questions now lmao
