There's something there that wasn't there before ... (PAC)
This is part two! of a series that I am working on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These photos are not mine though now that I think of it, I could have used mine because I literally worked for Disney and go there enough. but why would I think about that lmao.
Choose a belle and beast! and let's talk about what brings you two together. things you'll find endearing and things to be aware of in your future relationship uwu
Tumblr media
Pile one
What Brings You Together ::
Judgement, King of Pentacles, 08 of Wands, 05 of Swords,04 of Pentacles, Ace of Cups
So the biggest thing that I am seeing here is your motivation of each other in pursuit of ones desires. you both admire how hard you each have had to work to get to where you wanted to be. and you both see the potential in the other.
This is honestly giving me strong power couple vibes. you both seem to want the same things and you're both ready to create that stability. I honestly, see the both of you bringing a lot into the physical realm. I think you both have the same fears and have the same kind of pain.
I would say you two are probably soulmates. mirrors of one another. -and no, I will not use twin flames. I've explained why before.- You both are here to complete life lessons together and to literally build an empire. You both are stubborn, willing to make even the roughest ideas work.
there is genuine love here. but I think you both are together because of the stability you have. Like your love languages are the same and you find comfort in that essentially. I keep seeing this beautiful garden so I truly think that you both are going to "water" each other and help each other blossom. like two cute missing puzzle pieces coming together.
What Is Something Unexpected That You Love About Them ::
Page of Cups, Knight of Pentacles, 08 of Cups
Well, this is kind of cute actually. I think something you'll love about your future spouse that you didn't really see coming is just how slow and dedicated they are. given that we did see the 08 of wands, you both may be tempted to move quickly with things. but remember, the king of pentacles was also there and we now also have the knight.
so at first, you may not like how slow they are. how dedicated they are to making sure everything is right. heavy capricorn energy...and taurus lol. they will literally walk away from something they don't deem as perfect.
they are a visionary and might be too hard on themselves. but you love that about them. You love how they have to execute everything to the best of their ability. they may even nag a lot about the details. but it also shows through in how they love you. everything is given in the details to them. they will show that.
Something To Watch Out For ::
The Hermit, Justice, King of Swords, King of Cups, 08 of Pentacles, 04 of Swords
Indecision which isn't a surprise. But also, I think there's a bit of brains over heart happening. one of you will want to be more logical. doing things because they make sense to do things. and the other is more sensitive to the world around you. and it may cause a bit of a blockage in the beginning. with the 08 of pentacles and the 04 of swords in particular, you both will workon that. you two WILL meet in the half way point.
I think there's also a bit of fear that one of you isn't on the same page when it comese to life goals. but again, you'll both help each other grow. you two may naturally be opposites but I'm finding and seeing here that you both balance each other out. it may take a minute to see that, but it's there. allow yourselves to be challenged by the other but also allow the emotions to flow and do things that just come to you both.
Tumblr media
Pile two
What Brings You Together ::
The World, The Empress, King of Pentacles, 09 of Swords, 02 of Swords, 02 of Cups
To put it simply, to end karmic ties and to finally have someone worth loving and feeling complete in this lifetime. You both bring this energy of past pain, but also that of true, unconditional love. you two understand the pain of the world and your shared pasts essentially. not trauma bonding. You heal each other. One of you may put the other on a pedastal a little but it's not ... anything too problematic.
You both are coming together to have the life y ou both wanted. whether that is kids, pursuing dreams, having your own family that you both bring in together -like through community and friends or pets- you both are here to express your freedoms.
You both are also coming together to ease past wounds and to ease anxiety. there are tough choices that are going to have to be made but you both will walk the path of healing. you both are going to choose each other everytime.
it's quite literally a love story where neither of you thought you'd ever have. It's gentle, passionate and romantic. you both are each others lovers, both from past lives and this life. You are healing. point black period. starting new chapters and ending old ones. you are both meant to thrive together.
Something You Find Endearing Unexpectedly ::
King of Swords, The Chariot, The Star
their attitude lmao. No but seriously, you'll love how much this person is just a grounded, maybe slightly arrogant, go getter. this person is independent and somehow so loving to you. you admire this person as much as they admire you.
This person knows what they want, how to plan and how to achieve it. they're very smart, very witty and... can be kind of cold when they have to be. but they do all this so they can have the future they dream of. and of course they're taking you along.
Something To Be Aware Of ::
The Moon, The Magician, King of Pentacles, 06 of Cups, 06 of Pentacles,02 of Swords
Well, I think it's going to be a small issue of codependency and perhaps... some secrets that one or both of you are keeping hidden. it's not so much bad secrets that are being kept hidden, I think you two are just private. you will sacrifice a lot for one another. Sometimes you may even start to hate how much you two have to give up in order to achieve the balcne you both want.
but with that, you both will learn that there is a give and take to any relationship. while yours may be more than the average, with that sacrifice comes great rewards. there might be a bit of... stagnation. maybe you two develop a stable home life but you lose some of that imagination. so to try to counter that you both start to do sponatenous things together.
really, the issue is balance. you both feel strong love for one another and communication is going to be required on both ends to say hey, I'm happy. a lot of ideas and creativity will come to you both but don't do everything all at once. ya know what I mean?
Tumblr media
Pile 3!
What Brings You Together ::
The Hanged Man, The Star, Judgement, Page of Wands, 10 of Wands, Ace of Cups
Well, defintely the pile where you weren't expecting to find love and here they are. you both may not have really thought of each other as match potential. and yet somehow, through your combined efforts -perhaps a work place love story?- you two just... fall in love. you both share a lot of the same morals and with that you both really develop a world of your own.
I think your person is going to be older than you and that's because I'm getting strong vbes that this person is going to be here to help you learn something. whether that's helping you grow financially, or with education. they will show you how life is. they're here to protect you and to guide you. to change your ways essentially.
and you will be the same to them but perhaps on a lesser scale. you give this person a lot of peae of mind and it's actually very cute. you both will have to work hard to gain balance in this relationship because I think the romantic feelings will be subtle until whatever the challenge is passes. but after that, you both will really blossom.
Something You Find Endearing Unexpectedly ::
10 of cups, 06 of Swords, 05 of Pentacles
To keep it simple, how this person is so positive and loving despite having a very ruggid appearance. Yea, like I said, this relationship is going to have its fair share of challenges but this person is so determined to make things work because of you. they're going to be a completely different person by the time this cycle ends.
you'll be surprised by just how much this person is willing to transform to get to that happy ever after. it's almost like they don't care what they have to do. they just want to keep you happy, and keep the peace in their lives. if that means cutting out toxic family, then so be it. they are so sacrificing.
Something To Be Aware Of ::
The Hermit, 09 of Pentacles, 07 of Cups, 07 of Swords, 04 of Cups, 02 of Pentacles
Independence. I think one of you will be very much in your heads and wanting more freedom and the other is going to want to spend a lot more time than the other may be willing to give. there needs to be a balancing act between the two of you. it could just be a difference in love languages but there's also an element here of miscommunication.
I also think, one of you will constantly be trying to give gifts or surprise the other person and it'll start to feel more like a challenge as to who can "woo" the other person more. Your FS is a very emotional person so they'll probably be like wicked intuitive and pick up on your needs. and you may struggle to figure out theres. so just be open to them about it.
they'll spend a lot of quiet time with you. I think that's really all they want which is why you'll probably be like, but why go all out for me? they just enjoy having you around. like, they like doing something in silence with you sitting next to them doing something else. they just like to be grounded with you. very cute.

Aroace Alastor
Tumblr media
Hoo boy here we go- This one might make some people mad at me, so I'll preface by saying I do not want to start a fight and as long as you respect my business, I'll respect yours. But let's get this over with-
First off, I genuinely don't understand how some people can see the Ace-In-The-Hole quote and still believe that Alastor is only intended to be asexual and not also aromantic. Yes, the term Rosie used for purpose of the pun was 'ace', but can we look at the context of that moment before jumping to conclusions?
Rosie, motioning to Charlie: "Oh, who's this you brought with you? Come now, Alastor, she's much too young for you! Oh, I'm just kidding. I know you're an ace in the hole!"
Her original statement implies nothing sexual, only that he's involved in a relationship with Charlie, and she follows it up with why she knows that couldn't be because he's an 'ace in the hole'. I don't think you have to read too far between the lines to see that.
I would also like to say that when Vivienne has spoken about his orientation before, I recall her saying that she didn't want to confirm him being aromantic so that she wouldn't 'ruin anyone's fun', which I just feel like is an odd thing to say if she wasn't already explicitly picturing him as aroace. If she thought he had romantic attraction, why wouldn't she just say that? What fun would that ruin? I also feel like keeping things like this ambiguous just to appease the shippers is a little weird, but I digress-
And to those of you who I know are saying "But aromantic people can be in relationships too!!" *deep inhale* yeah I know. I'm not gonna pretend you're not right about that, but there are also aroace people who have exactly 0 interest in romance or sex at all. This is the part of the post that really is based on how I interpret certain moments, but to me he is absolutely one of those people. I don't really know where people get any vibes of him being interested in that stuff. I have never once looked at him and thought "Yeah I could see him in a romantic relationship with *insert character here*". Even aside from attraction in general, since that's what we'd be talking about at this point anyway, he just seems like the kind of guy who'd rather work and live independently instead of relying on anyone, whether practically or emotionally (which is also probably part of the reason he never joined the Vees, but that's another topic entirely). Hell, I'm pretty sure he's in heavy denial about even developing any kind of care or friendship with the people at the hotel (ie. the episode 8 scene with him and Niffty).
The only ships I see him involved in with people he doesn't hate (so ignoring RadioApple, RadioHusk, and StaticRadio. But to be real, maybe the fact all his main ships are enemies to lovers coded says something about the whole situation, but that's just me-) are Charlastor - which I will not even try to discuss here, people aren't gonna like this post as it is - and RadioRose. Rosie and him would at least be fair, if it weren't for one thing (which is also personal opinion on my end), and I don't know exactly how to word it. I'm tempted to say she has wingwoman vibes? But she knows he's aro, so that's not the right word, but there's vibes of like, she probably did act as a wingwoman before she realized that about him or something.. There's also something about her joking around like "Oh this is the girl? You have a girlfriend and I'm only now meeting her?" is almost giving motherly behavior. Idk man they're just besties to me, I could see them in a QPR though (not that they'd probably label it that way, considering the word queerplatonic is likely just complete gibberish to Alastor lmao).
So to summarize: It feels incredibly likely, if not practically canon, that Alastor was written with aromanticism in mind, even if Vivienne refuses to explicitly state it. Subtext and not-that-subtle implications can say just as much about a character as word of God, especially when that God has explicitly told us why she won't confirm or deny this information. Do I think any of this will stop people from shipping him romantically with literally any other character? No ofc it won't, and that's okay, that's just what fandoms do. I do think there's something to say for the fact the one aroace (or even at the very least asexual) character gets constantly shipped with everyone else in the cast, but this post is long enough I think. The only point of posting this is that I wanted to get information out there in one post to say "Hey, let's look a little bit past the surface for a second before saying there's no proof of him being aromantic"
Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you at least took something away from this

yo dude i was really curious and i just read yr primal fear fic, just wanted to say that your writing is genuinely so impressive.. not a lot of people could take a prompt like this and actually give it so much substance, your stuff shows such a deep level of understanding of the media ur working with +intuitiveness.. like characterizing shit well from 90s movies is crazy hard and u like immediately got how to write an in-character martin vail so if u can do that u can do any thing im like blown away 🙈 cant wait to see what u do in the future with yr original stuff, youre a beast with the pen ✍️✍️
sobbing for real dude.... this is so kind... "shows such a deep understanding of the media youre working with" truly there is few better compliments 😭 the 'from 90s movies' part is hard as hell sometimes yeah... I feel like I understand the psyche pretty well but there's so much just general milieu that's easy to just... not even realize is relevant. Of course it helps that most of my readers are also not particularly familiar with the 90s lmao but. Idk I try to keep that post-fall of the soviet union pre-9/11 immense nihilism in mind. Fortunately I have some friends who have a pretty strong lock on the vibe for one reason or another who help too— I assume they'd tell me if it was a 'he would not fucking say that' situation haha. It's funny wrt Martin Vail because I do think I did him pretty passably.. I don't always mesh into characters well per se; like for Tyler, I think I understand him pretty well but it's still tricky to figure out how to actually word what he says — I'm tempted to outsource to @a-forsteri who has a goddamn LOCK on it... we should collab, bestie... but regardless yeah Vail was an interesting one for sure. You only get so much characterization of him in the movie, really. Thanks for reading and I'm really glad you enjoyed it, comments like this are what keep me going fr :')

Pink [@somebodytolove31] (she/her or he/him)
Okey so basically I created her for a superhero school roleplay I had with friends, her tragic backstory is that her father is a deadbeat but is also a hero, he got Pink's mom pregnant and then told her if she ever approached him he would kill her. Pink had a nice life with her single mom until the mom got sick and decided to go to Hero, thinking maybe he would have a bit of compassion, needless to say he didn't and followed through his promise. Pink saw all of this and now it's her life's purpose to kill him, even if it kills her.
I recently refound the roleplay and decided to develop the character on her own, I may have changed the setting and her gender and other shit, but I've decided to not touch her backstory or her character arc where she starts making friends and realizes there's a lot more to life than just revenge (she still gets his dad arrested, but that's a long story)
Oh yeah did I mention she can turn into a wolf? She can turn into a wolf
Anyway please vote for her
Erin [@silveredcircuitry] (she/her)
Snarky and ridiculously overpowered illusionist who got captured by an evil organization for an unclear reason and by means that didn't make much sense because they required her powers not work on the people capturing her. That doesn't matter though because the entirety of the plot I actually figured out was just an excuse for her to cause problems and fuck with people psychologically.
Had a thing with making finger guns that would shoot out illusory (but still pretty painful) bullets and smoke. She is part of me wanting to draw finger guns so badly that I actually learned bits and pieces of how to draw hands.
Her sense of fashion was just an amalgamation of a bunch of things I found neat but also easy to draw at the time, including a bandanna around her neck and a bag shaped like a lime slice (some kind of citrus anyway). I didn't even have especially interesting taste in my current opinion. I did not draw her in evil government prison but my mental image of her is only in her street clothes and i think my idea of it was she just got dumped in a cell in whatever she was wearing when they kidnapped her lmao.
I'm genuinely a little tempted to redesign her as a character in a superhero or "one weird power per person" setting, with the finger gun gimmick as a necessary thing for targeting. And also push her fashion sense a bit further.
Anyway if nothing else you gotta give her props for having a fingergun motif and not being like. a pyromancer or anything that could make her physically do that. And also the mind games and teaching me how to draw hands :)

Has Roxy or any of the others ever attempted to actually kill Gregory for real after everything, be it for shattering them or allegedly trying to kill Cassie or something else? If yes, how? How did it go? What or who stopped them? How was the aftermath of the whole thing?
Kill Gregory? No. Severely tempted, but no attempts.
Freddy however? Yes. Absolutely.
This got long so I'm putting it under a cut.
I think it would be really funny if DJ accidentally almost killed him. Least likely you'd think to do it, but he saw him near the others in the Fazcade and saw red. And by saw red, I mean he kinda just slapped Freddy across the room and wasn't paying attention to how much strength he put into it lmao. That or he picked him up and yeeted him, also not paying enough attention to how much power he used. Roxy checked him and was genuinely disappointed it just almost killed him
On that note, Roxy has made an actual attempt. If Freddy did his fucking job none of them would have had their parts taken, the Plex may not have gone to ruin, and Cassie may not have even gone to the Plex looking for Gregory to get to be dropped like she was, nevermind the fact if Freddy was with him he should have stopped him again. She's mad. Baby on the warpath lmao
She said she wanted to have a real conversation with him about what went down and he agreed to meet her at the salon maybe. Or maybe the room where Bonnie's body was for the added meaning if this is a timeline where Roxy was forced to deactivate him in there. Like "this is the room I had to deactivate your boyfriend in." and he's like "wot" and yeah that'd be dramatic as fuck. Anyway, she tricks him into meeting her, she beats the everloving shit out of him, targetting the areas the rest of them were hurt in the most (including Cassie), then rips his battery out for Bonnie. Of course, he deactivates with no power source and that's when she has the opportunity to actually kill him but she genuinely can't bring herself to do it. She's not a killer at heart, she couldn't do it.
Instead, she drags his ass down to parts and services and if it's doable, she removes the upgraded parts from him and replaces them with the old ones he had. Lets some automated repair thing do its job and fucks off. He's fine. She barely had a scratch on her despite him obviously fighting back so it's easy to brush off.
Oh you know what actually? Imagine that, but Bonnie did it.
Can you imagine that? Bonnie loved him. He's realised what's happened, what really happened, and that Freddy did nothing. The utter betrayal, the sheer grief of what he's done... if he still has the parts, it makes him boil to look at him and see Roxy's eyes looking back at him, hear the slight clicks from Chica's voicebox when he speaks, and Monty's claws waving at him.
He does the same as I mentioned. He doesn't say a word to anyone. He says he wants to talk to Freddy alone about everything that's happened and Freddy, of course, agrees. He still loves him after all. He'd do anything Bonnie asked of him, making it a little too easy to get him by himself.
If the bit about Roxy deactivating him in that room behind the bowling lanes is true here, that's where he takes Freddy. He tells him what happened here and Freddy doesn't really know what to say. Clearly, he's upset that Roxy did that though. He'd assumed it was Monty. Bonnie tells him that he's caused enough pain and it's about time someone put an end to it. Freddy doesn't understand until Bonnie jumps him. He yells that this is for Chica as he goes for the voicebox, this is for Monty as he breaks his wrists, this is for Cassie as he struggles and rips his leg out of the socket, and this is for Roxy as he destroys his eyes.
He puts his hand on Freddy's battery through the ruined stomach hatch doors. "And this is for me." he growls, tears falling fast. Freddy goes still when the battery is removed. Bonnie moves to his head where all of his personality chips are stored. "This... this is for us..." he says even though he can't be heard. He tries... but he can't do it. He's been screaming and crying this whole time as he gives him what he feels he deserves, but this hurts more than before this so called justice was served.
He can't do it. Freddy's face is stained with tears too. He just can't bring himself to do it. Everything hurts so much.
Finally, Roxy and her Minis show up. Either they only just saw him through the walls, or Helpi alerted her to something being up if she doesn't have her fancy eyes now. She finds him on his knees, clinging to Freddy's head and scream sobbing into him. She doesn't know what to do for a long few moments, but eventually goes to his side to offer the most support she can.
She doesn't exactly cover up what happened. She just makes sure Freddy ends up in parts and services and doesn't say a word. Not like anyone's gonna ask. She does alert the others that Bonnie could do with some love and they have him buried in support before he can blink. Cassie gives him doctor's orders to stay in the Fazcade with everyone and he ends up camping out there for maybe a month or two minimum. He says he wishes he'd done it, but he also cries about how he had no idea why it would help. He tells them what happened, even though Roxy doesn't mention it and yeah he's not leaving their sight for a good while now. Not cause he might try again, but so they can make sure to be there for him when he's struggling instead of letting his emotions fester into this.
On another note, I think the Minis could make an attempt. There's enough of them to overwhelm Freddy if need be and it would be incredibly unexpected. Poppet the one leading this one, Freddy is disabled somehow by them but not deactivated. Poppet's reaching for his chips to destroy them, when Roxy barrels in with Bobbin and Tippy. They were set to distract her but they both cracked like eggs and she came to put a stop to it. They don't understand why she'd do that or why she'd care about whether Freddy lives or dies, and the truth is, she doesn't. But is Freddy worth having blood on their hands forever? Is he worth having to deal with that for the rest of their lives? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to not let him take the easy way out of this? Is he worth robbing Chica, Monty, Cassie, Sunny, Moon and DJ of their own justice?
If this works, Freddy thanks her... and immediately gets punched hard enough his head does a full 360. She didn't fucking save him. She just made sure her oldest friends knew he wasn't fucking worth it. If he goes anywhere near the Minis again, they're gonna be the least of his fucking worries.
Anyway, the aftermath of all of these (except DJ's since he recognises that was an accident) is that Freddy realises he's not safe here. Be it because of Roxy, the Minis or Bonnie, he no longer feels safe. Or maybe he does because he believes they've got it out of their system and/or was deactivated before he realised they were gonna kill him. Bonnie's hurts the most though. The betrayal hurts like hell and he wonders if this is what all the others felt when he left them. He just now considers that maybe he deserved this... I mean he doesn't, but he's gonna start Thinking about it at least. I think Bonnie is the only option that would really upset him. He could expect this kind of shit from Roxy and the Minis, but Bonnie? Never.
It was supposed to be Freddy and Bonnie, forever and ever... but apparently, forever doesn't last as long as he thought it did.
Anyway, Gregory would be furious, I don't think that'd go over well at all, and Vanessa would.... probably also be a little mad, but incredibly torn cause like. Yeah. She can see why. She really hates being stuck in the middle of all of this...
That's just some ideas to chew on though. I'm not sure it would ever come to this kind of thing, but you never know! Could be a fun story! Especially for pain and misery!

imagine an AU where Natsuo and Tomura are painfully aware Dabi's Todoroki Touya and think everyone else knows it too but they just don't speak about it because it's uncomfortable for all parties involved
Natsuo, to Shouto after Shouto's class was attacked by Dabi: Man, you gotta hand it to Touya - even after (presumably accidentally) faking his death, he's still holding on tight to his principles. Well, as much as fratricide can be a principle.
And Shouto just thinks it's either a sick joke or a conspiracy theory lmao
or
Natsuo, casually leaving this message on Endeavor's phone: Hey, so uh... I saw you just got pummeled by Touya on live TV. Not that I don't appreciate the method acting but you two are taking it a bit too far, don't you think? Like, I know you've got your little dramatic hero versus villain thing going on but the property destruction rates are getting out of hand. When you see Touya the next time, tell him I said hi and that he needs to watch where he's aiming his fire. Also, for fuck's sake, tell him to properly clean between his skin grafts and his healthy skin! And uh... guess as a good son I'd have to tell you to recover soon... so I won't. Bye.
and then there's Tomura
Tomura, visibly cringing at what he presumes to be a LARPing moment between Endeavor and Dabi: This is so overdramatic, what the hell.
and then
Tomura, snapping one day: By god, can you please for a moment stop letting your daddy issues run the show? I'm trying to lead an anarchist movement against the government and all you think about is how to kill off your old man! It's getting old, to be honest.
The rest of the League, including Dabi, staring in open-mouthed shock at Tomura: :0
One day, Natsuo just appears in the League hideout because he's sick of waiting for Touya to make his first move.
Natsuo, with a gigantic care package under his arm: I know, I know. You hate it when I don't give you time to do things on your own but, seriously Touya, ten years? That's a bit excessive even for you.
Spinner, eyeing Dabi: I'm starting to think our leader might be onto something when he called Dabi Endeavor's son...
Tomura, absolutely done with trying to point out the extremely obvious connection between Endeavor and Dabi (and still kinda thinking everyone's trying to pull his leg when they say he's crazy for thinking Dabi's Touya): Hello, I'm Shigaraki Tomura. You must be Dabi's brother, right? He doesn't tell us shit about you because he's denying being Todoroki Touya. At this point, I'm tempted to kick him out of the League because it makes me cringe way too hard and my eczema can't handle being pulled apart by appalled expressions so much. I researched your family. You're a med student, right? We're in desperate need for a healer, please join us and set your brother straight. Please.
Natsuo, who's been committing arson against anyone who funds Endeavor or his merch since he was thirteen: Yeah, sure. But what do you mean he's denying being Touya? It's painfully obvious he is! He's not even trying to mask ANY of his distinct features. The eyes that are the same colour as Endeavor's? The blue fire quirk? The obvious way too deep hatred for our dad? The bad hair dye? The fact that his lashes are dark red? The tap dance thingy he's been doing? Of course, you couldn't know about the last thing but I'm starting to think everyone's an idiot. It's so obvious. Touya, you didn't think I wouldn't recognize you, did you? Cuz if you did you're even more oblivious than Shouto.
Tomura, smiling genuinely for the first time in ten years: Natsuo, I know you've been a part of the League for less than a minute but I'm promoting you to vice commander. Dabi, fuck off, your brother is clearly superior in every way. Hey, Natsuo, do you have a Steam acc?

so i just read ur guerilla fic and OMGGG WOWOWOWOWEEEEE IM SO BLOWN AWAYYYYY
ngl i went in like expecting this to be the typical cold hearted serial killer and naive goody good reader BUT HOLY SHIT i think i just fell in love w the way u give ur characters such depth and complexity like 🤯
god there's so much i want to put into words and i genuinely love how you flow everything together and the whole story is so cohesive and a delight to read and im just having a ball reading it all the way through (and maybe shed some tears when mc panicked after yunho "took the blame")
also read the bonus scenes and- if i may say this, i wish u kept those in 😭 the buildup and the aftermath was truly something i needed for them and... i don't need to talk abt the smut part bc OOOOHHH MY GODDD.... now listen i usually read smut and ngl i read guerilla bc it popped up in the tags and that scene was brain churning spine melting toe curling piece of edging i've ever read like he just fingered her and it's got me rolling in my bed this much lord-

Video
youtube
i am returning with yet another brainrot episode [dodges booing and tomatoes being thrown] of me annotating mitch youtube content.
this podcast episode with connor was ADORABLE and revealed a side of him that we rarely ever see otherwise SO...it has made my mitch hyperfixation at LEAST 5x worse. I say this so i can warn you to listen at your own peril (i say listen rather than watch bc mitch is like..in 240p the whole time and at certain points looks SO BLURRY he looks like an impressionist painting of a twink. how very renoir of him tbh). 
I also recognize this video is long af (honestly i didnt know mitch knew this many words....very impressed) so i’m time-stamping every part that im annotating...... also this post got so long so i’m sorry. i KNOW i always say this but it’s bc im genuinely always surprised by my own verbose ass.,.,,,,.,,,,.,.,,,,, WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY IM JUST LIKE MITCH FR I NEED TO STOP YAPPING (morgan rielly voice: “just never shuts up”) 
1:35: mitch apparently loves oysters? honestly adding this only because it’s so cute when his face scrunches up and he throws his head back to laugh at 2:12 (also why is connor’s water glass so dirty what is HAPPENING)
3:21: mitch marner, self-proclaimed coffee aficionado and BEST coffee maker on the leafs, does not know what a chemex is. the look of blank confusion. i know what you are. a fraud who would rather be drinking capri suns and chocolate milk.
3:45: ok now we understand WHY mitch is always wearing a redbull hat (when he’s not wearing his recent assortment of ridiculous hat acquisitions like that powder blue hat with the HUGE BRIM or the orange prada bucket hat) - redbull just sends mitch HATS ON HATS ON HATS that he’s not even allowed to share as part of his agreement. i am now, in fact, asking redbull to send him EVEN MORE HATS so he’s less tempted to wear those hats he’s been wearing this off-season. redbull should just absolutely bury him in hats until he is no longer even visible. he’s not that big so it really shouldn’t take that many hats!!! that’s what i call a hat trick. that’s what i call cap space [booing from audience intensifies]
6:25: WHY is a CONNOR CARRICK MITCH MARNER PODCAST HOW I FIND OUT THAT PK SUBBAN AND LINDSEY VONN WERE ENGAGED?!?!! WHAT IN THE SPORTS ROYALTY?
7:14: just connor gassing mitch up and then chirping him for looking like a newborn foal when he entered the league (mitch then chirps himself for what he looked like with his shirt off lmao - it always surprises me how self-aware he seems to be and how comfortable he seems to be with himself? genuinely endearing tbh)
9:34: mitch talking about how formative visiting the children’s hospital in london (with christian dvorak) 1-2x a week was for him and the “legacy” he wants to build as a hockey player. like. as a cynical human i understand that this podcast is meant to be a fluff piece that’s beneficial for mitch’s reputation/brand, but as a human human i cannot help but be touched by how sincere mitch is about this. and more importantly, he’s shown it with his actions re: the genuine friendship he had with hayden, who mitch met during these hospital visits. 
11:54: hearing about mitch’s contract issues from mitch’s POV is pretty interesting, and i believe this is the most extensively he’s ever spoken about it? it makes so much sense that mitch’s biggest priority was not wanting to miss training camp and pre-season. and that he had ZERO intention of leaving the leafs. im forever genuinely flabbergasted by that contingent of leafs fans who thinks mitch was the one in the room negotiating with kyle/the leafs and playing games to squeeze every last dollar out of them? like DO THEY KNOW MITCH? THE TWITCH STREAMER? my. brother in christ, this guy does not even know what an encyclopedia is. my brother in christ, this guy called his finnish teammate “finlish.”  ANYWAY, he talks pretty openly about the impact the contract negotiations and pressure had on him mentally
17:40: connor: what is your favorite part of being a toronto maple leaf? mitch: my friends 🥺
19:54: mitch talking about how he just likes to check in “on his guys” and connor pointing out that whenever he gets an assist or a goal in a game, he still gets texts from mitch. WHICH IS. SO SWEET. as someone who is absolutely fucking terrible at keeping in touch with people i am JUST. SORRY TO BE A SAP BUT THATS SO SWEET OF HIM? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! IM GOING TO EAT HIM!!!!!!
20:30: THIS IS THE BEST PART LOWKEY - THE NIKE SHOES STORY DODOHFODHOSHSODASODHFAIDHFLWJEFKDLJKSAS. IF U WATCH NOTHING ELSE PLEASE WATCH THIS. THE DAY CONNOR GOT MOVED FROM THE LEAFS AND WAS SAD MITCH JUST SHOWED UP WITH A GIANT PILE OF SHOES TO GIVE CONNOR AND CONNOR HAD TO BE LIKE “MITCH? I AM MOVING? I CANNOT TAKE ALL THESE SHOES???” THIS IS THE MOST MITCH MARNER STORY I HAVE EVER HEARD I CANNOT LIKE IVE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT IF I READ IT IN A FIC I WOULDVE BEEN LIKE “LMAOOO THIS AUTHOR NAILED MY HEADCANON OF MITCH BUT IRL MITCH WOULD NEVER DO THAT” BUT NO! HE DOES! HE HAS! the fairy godmother only gave cinderella one pair of glass slippers but mitch marner will show up at your doorstep with 10+ pairs of emotional support nikes that he’s been trying to give you for MONTHS because he loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
24:45: Mitch talking about how the award he’d want to win the most is the Selke - and given how great Mitch has been this past season offensively AND defensively AND on the PP AND on the PK??? give minch the selke send tweet. 
28:30: when Mitch was drafted by London he was 5′6″ and 125lbs DLKDLKSJA HE WAS fucking TEENSY! please! i 100% could have carried him around in a fanny pack with my wallet and keys and a granola bar and the 3-4 random crumpled receipts from walgreens
30:16: “whenever people ask me what it was like playing with mitchy, i always tell them he has the ability to rubiks’ cube the game.” i LOVE This and i will be using this expression from now on, even though i have never solved a rubik’s cube and never will!
46:20: I would say this is the 2nd really meaty part of this podcast? It’s where Connor and Mitch talk about Mitch’s draft day experience. When Mitch talks about how NERVOUS he was when Toronto went up to draft their 4th pick i started laughing because if you watch the 2015 draft video you can SEE JUST HOW PETRIFIED AND TERRIFIED AND CLOSE TO SHITTING HIMSELF THEN THROWING UP THEN FAINTING AND DISINTEGRATING INTO A PILE OF DRIED UP LEAVES MITCH LOOKS LMAO. like that boy was on the brink of death. also, really interesting details behind Phoenix Coyotes drafting Dylan at third right before Mitch here!
51:47: The 3rd meaty (auston-y :---))))) ) part of this podcast: Mitch talking about THE BABCOCK INCIDENT where babcock made mitch grade his teammates on work ethic. Mitch talks about it with a lot of levity and positivity tbh but hearing mitch even joke and laugh about it makes me sad because it clearly was a really awful experience for him to go through as a rookie. knowing how close mitch was and is to those 3 guys at the bottom - tyler bozak, naz, JVR (his recent italian escapade buddy) - is definitely comforting tho. BOOING BABCOCK FOREVER FOR THIS TBH. like WHAT were you aiming to get out of this and why the hell would you ever put a ROOKIE in this impossible situation?
55:46: THE FINAL MEATY PART OF THIS PODCAST: THE MATT MARTIN SECTION. honestlyyyyY. just watch this part from beginning to end pls because mitch clearly loves and treasures matt SO much and there’s SO much here that will make you want to gnaw gnaw gnaw chew chew chew scream ferally and SUE connor carrick for your upper body injury (heart hurts)... but anyway, a few highlights: 
Mitch calling Marty a protector, a big brother, and “how big of a mentor he was to me” - i WILL CRY!!!!!!! I WILL!!!!! THATS MY FAVE LEAFS SHIP RIGHT THERE 
“He was all for me shooting a puck off his leg or his ass.”  every other time Mitch opens his mouth he says something that makes me go “wait ..what did he say?” and have to re-listen. this is one of those moments
the FUNNIEST story about how connor and matt almost fought when they played for different teams because matt found connor so annoying. i won’t spoil the details but i - i def cackled out loud
“you just felt 2 feet taller with matt around” 🥺🥺🥺 ok that’s fine tHATS FINE 
OH GOD. THE worst part: Mitch talks about how Matt and Syd would always invite him over and make sure Mitch never felt alone his rookie year, and how this experience of feeling included and loved by Matt shaped the kind of teammate/friend Mitch tries to be aka making sure his home and heart are always open to his teammates. I....I’M. Y’ALL. HOLD MY HAND AND STAY WITH ME BECAUSE LIKE - think about the way bogo (esp when his family was away during covid) and justin lived with mitch and how the leafs all clearly love mitch so much and how mitch says he always tries to be the positive energy guy for his team AND I JUST .  LETHAL PSYCHIC DAMAGE SUFFERED FROM THIS PART OF THE PODCAST TBH BRAIN JUST LEAKIN OUT THROUGH MY EARHOLES AS I CRAWL INTO A CORNER. Matt Martin drop your location right now and square up because i will fight you right now for what you’ve done. how DARE you and mitch marner, 2 rich white men i absolutely do not know, make me want to be a better kinder person....i...pretend i do not see it...i pretend i do not feel it.
1:02:58: Yes this podcast is over an hour long and i watched all of it ahahahah1!! haHA! anyway, mitch thanking the frontline workers - very sincere and endearing and mitch-y (aka causing little brain blips of complete confusion - like why did he call the UPS... “ups”? is this a canadian thing? also him thanking the WIFI PEOPLE FJDLKDJLDDSDSSDAKJLDDFLFJFKJLDSJLDKFAJL lmfaofjldjDDKS lmfaofofoofofOFOFO okay)
But seriously the entire podcast is extremely endearing and it’s still the off-season so please do watch the whole thing if you have a chance! then come yell with me about it u know i love to yell

Thank you for your reply. You are really kind ily 🥹🥹
Pcos is really hard to deal with. It has fucked me up so bad. From facial hair to hyperpigmented private parts, it has given me everything. I'm so fucking insecure. It's hard not to be😭 I wanna look pretty. My doc gave me heavy meds I was nauseous the whole time I took the tablet. It was hell. Besides i had severse foodpipe ulcers. Now I'm off tablet. I'm just so much so worried about my hair only. I also had to have dandruff!!! Just my life ugh. I had hair down upto my knees. I had to cut it short as it got tangled all the time and it made extra hairloss. Im jsut 18. Haven't even joined university yet. Other girls are pretty ugh. Sorry I jsut ranted. I'm tempted to just shave my head at times. I cry every night lmao.
It is kinda good to know that I'm not alone (although I hope none of us have to grow through this) and thanks for the "don't"s 🫶🫶
Do you have any scalp washing tips btw?
If I touch my head, there's no hair..it's just touching my scalp directly lol bald me
BEAUTIFUL GIRL OF COURSE! I never want my pcos girlies to feel silenced???😚😚 first of all….Oh the facial hair has been kicking my ass since i was 15 and im 21 girl 😭😭 but i will say, at 19-20 it peaked for me, i hit rock bottom and i do think that the external stress of uni pushed it but i also thing it’s a genuine like canon event for us pcos girlies, i truly believe that until ur pcos really gets you down, you can’t rise up from it. i was the biggest id ever been, lost all my hair, facial hair was insane!!
i mean this in the best way, because I’ve been there girl, i still am there, i get laser on my face and neck, i wash my hair and like it gives me anxiety just washing my hair and seeing the loss, feeling the loss of density, like you i had hair down my back my whole life and i cut it over a year ago and now it has grown back thicker at least bc mine was all straggly at the worst point😭 i KNOW your pain.
BUT everybody always told me that the older i get it will level out and trust me it does!! and it did. im 21 and things have settled, we can only go through this process. i promise you, it gets better. my hair is still thinner but it shines and i put love into it!! i oil my scalp every time i wash it, I’ve been doing it for 8 months religiously.
and girl you are pretty!! i used to read the r/pcos thread a lot bc it made me feel less alone and like, i saw a post once venting about how hard it is having so much maintenance, to wake up and have to shave your face, to be conscious, to have to cover hair loss. that constant weight of having to get up and do all these steps that you feel other women don’t. i know the frustration, i have bumps and marks and body hair that makes me sob if I don’t shave it and then I look down in the shower and it hits me. but it’s also okay to pay for the things like laser or waxing, or learning how to wax etc, we have to manage in any way, we are allowed to prioritise and do things that make us feel beautiful bc we deserve it. we have to adapt rather than hoping it might just disappear, and we have to accept it🥺🩷
but diet is huge!! at least try and have a protein heavy breakfast!! 30g of protein is such an important aim, I promise that makes such a difference. definitely try not to have a lot of sugar in the morning. i only drink water or spearmint tea. matcha tea can be good bc it’s better then coffee, but I never drink caffeine because it’s so bad for us pcos girls especially on an empty stomach!! try and eat good fats!! and also integrating exercise!! and also MANAGE STRESS BABE I MEAN IT
but you are still beautiful, effortlessly and with your ways of coping. there is nothing wrong with us!! don’t be sorry for ranting at all, i also wanted to shave my head at the height of my weight loss i had a huge bald spot and it’s still kinda there 😭 i know this shit is REAL
but definitely check in with a doctor if you can get any advice/meds that could help, maybe a birth control pill could help you but again I don’t recommend that due to my own experiences bc it gave me severe acne, migraines and other things but tbf my hair was lucious😜, pcos is a lot of trial and error and seeing what might work for you.
as far as tips go!! look into Indian/arab/ayuverdic routines on TikTok/youtube!!! look up ways to massage your scalp!!!
here are my fave creators !!
@golabbeauty on tiktok for hair loss, hair oiling, diet, she has pcos herself!
@zoeantonia_ tiktok + instagram!! pcos positivity for facial hair, bloating, skin!! she also gives great diet and workout advice and she’s amazing!!
@mila.magnani on tiktok! pcos creator amazing!!!!!!
but i want you to know that you don’t have to start everything now, that you can eat something one creator says not to!! you will find your rhythm with this! steal, twist, tailor everything you hear and see creators doing !! whether it’s making your own mixture of oils for oiling or making some kind of nightly mock tail for your hormones you’ve found!! either way i believe in you and im always here <3333 educate yourself but don’t overwhelm yourself! time is your biggest ally, my heart goes out to you angel <3

You should write a rote/succession crossover slash jay (UNLESS)
don't do this to me don't tempt me......i have so much to read and watch and people to avoid calling i cannot start thinking about a crossover. but IF i did.
i'd have to reread the assassin trilogy ofc but what i like so much about it is the lack of a single patriarch who moves all the pieces. King Shrewd ends up a victim of his body and old age and power-hungry politics and chronic illness and it's so interesting to think about how that would translate to Logan bc obviously succession is about his disintegrating empire and body. His power is a combination of privilege, business sense, political pandering, and luck--much like Shrewd--but there is genuine love in the Roy kids wanting to be king bc like i said it's ultimate confirmation of Logan's love for them. here i think fitz would be kendall, raised on a lie and indoctrinated early and wavering between absolute support and the desire to get free. the fool would be roman, with no life of his own and loyal to the last but also cynical and self aware about it all and disdainful of the way the politics relates to the interpersonal relationships in a way no other character is bc his love is real but cannot be expressed that way. ofc in this crossover there's nothing romantic between them lmao but yeah they have an antagonistic but loving relationship bc they're both dogs in the same cage. chade, burrich, and galen are the old guard (c-suite in succession like COO, head of PR, legal counsel etc) --witnesses and even instruments of abuse and coverups in the name of the empire, playing a huge part in the violence inherent to these childhoods.
unfortunately i cannot begin to think of who shiv would be just bc she's less of a play on a known archetype than the other characters--not to say any of the others are worse written, just that shivs character is a combination of very specific circumstances that don't really have an equivalent and also there aren't many female characters in the trilogy lol. but actually come to think of it shiv can work as kettricken, tangentially --heir to her own empire, seen as both young girl and sacrifice, then reduced to a wife, isolated, but still determined to exercise any power she has for her own (significantly less altruistic) objectives but at the end of the day being defined by her husband and her marriage, being betrayed by someone close to her. she's continually lacking agency while being punished for trying to seize it due to systemic misogyny. there are differences ofc but given shiv starts the series as a politician, intends to make her husband ceo, and is then lured back in with false promises while still being overlooked as a woman--their characters have differences but it would be soo fascinating to see what would change with the circumstances and what would stay the same, if kettricken were shiv. regal is tom btw and in this universe he succeeds in getting the princess (shiv) to marry him. but i'm flexible on this not sure abt it yet
sorry that was a whole rant lmao but i might just end up playing with this like dolls you're soooo evil and big brained for putting this idea into my head. sooo many thoughts

i was tagged by @aethelreds thank you, i love these things!
How many works do you have on AO3?
70 (my sis has 4 works on the same account)
What's your total AO3 word count?
267,282
What fandoms do you write for?
Currently got WIPs for The Last Kingdom and Atlantis BBC, but I've written for 21 different fandoms so far
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Interlude (Downton Abbey), The Moon And Its Eclipse (Justice League), Drawn Together (The Last Kingdom), Be Here, With Me (Victoria) and Been Wishing For You (also Victoria)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do try to! In the past I've been a bit more hit and miss but these days I do eventually get around to it
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I usually write fix its, so the two that end with a main character death are probably the angstiest, so I'll rep You Will Betray Me (TTSS)
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
My Death in Paradise fics are pure fluff, but especially Evermore
Do you get hate on fics?
I did on ff.net (as everyone did) - on AO3, I'm tempted to say no but I did get one comment where I genuinely can't tell from the tone whether it was hate or not lmao
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Occasionally, and usually badly! I tend to struggle with action of any kind and it's difficult to know whether something is coming off as sexy or not. That being said, I'm attempting a smut fic right now... needless to say I haven't actually got to the smut part yet
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
The closest I've come is Heaven or High Water, which although was a Drumfred reincarnation fic, I did borrow storylines from Ripper Street and Man in an Orange Shirt to write it
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so, but I don't know if people might have translated some fics and not credited me, so maybe
Have you ever had a fic translated?
As above, maybe
Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
No but I have talked about it and brainstormed some ideas before
What's your all-time favourite ship?
Harry and Ruth from Spooks, they broke me in such a way I can't ever recover from it
What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Oh god there's loads by now, but I'll probably end up putting that Bridglar idea behind me at some point, which is annoying because I actually have a title and a summary which are the hardest parts except uhh the writing... and I'm drawing a blank there beyond the couple of vague sentences I've got
What are your writing strengths?
I've been told I'm good at showing not telling, which means a lot to me because I love visualising how a scene will play out and then writing that, and it's nice to know that other people have noticed it
What are your writing weaknesses?
How to get the flow right, definitely. Sometimes sentence after sentence just comes out right, but then the paragraph that follows just feels like it starts cold and doesn't link up. I've been particularly struggling with that for the last few months
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've done it a few times for endearments because I like the way it sounds, but I don't do it a lot
First fandom you wrote for?
I think it was Harry Potter
Favourite fic you've ever written?
The answer to this question changes every time, but I did recently reread Give You My Devotion, the Ripper Street shaving fic I'd wanted to write for years, and I'm still so proud that I managed to deliver it
Tagging: @lordnochybaty @hammerbacks @torch-the-throne

lee and sasuke wasn't something i'd considered before but you described a truly great seed if i ever felt up to exploring that!!! thanks!!! personally i'm Big Fan of sai and shino but setting aside our favourite kikaichu-boy sai though......??? sai and lee just seems like a very very interesting combination based on a tenet of honesty, and because they could also bond over bodies like lee could with sasuke and lee's innate ability to connect to a certain outsider archetype- just look at gaara lol but also-- ...yeah i go hard with sai and lee being good friends and also more lmao
It's so funny that you mention Gaara, because I was so so tempted to add him to the list, but I really like Lee and Gaara as lifelong friends/allies who have this deep respect they don't share with anyone else, and I find it unlikely that Konoha would let it's new 8-gates master leave the village to mate someone else... Of the main group, I think Gaara and Lee are only ones to have had a spar (I'm not counting the shukaku vs kyuubi because that was a different thing) that ended in a particularly bad sort of way - with Lee almost permanently injured and in the hospital - only to fight beside each other a few months later. (Can you all tell sasuke retrieval arc was probably my favorite thing, the way each individual fight was crafted as a way for the boys to work out some major personal issues was so good, I miss the pacing of the og series)
But anon, anon, you have me absolutely vibrating. Shino is not on my list at the moment because I feel he would be difficult for me to write, but I can see it! Shino and Sai have that very quiet introvert + quiet extrovert thing going on. I'm not certain if they or Lee and Sai even speak in the show, so it didn't occur to me, but I agree these are some excellent pairings.
You're very right about Lee's ability to connect with those who are a little "outside" of the usual.
Lee and Sai have different approaches to honesty and different perspectives on honor but I absolutely pick up what you're putting down where they oddly seem to come to complementary conclusions about the way they want to interact with the people around them. Lee and Sai would also likely do without the sniping that Sasuke is known for. Sai imitates Sasuke's on occasion, but it's an act and Sai is not really that confrontational with the people around him, he's more likely to say something uncomfortable and true and let the chips fall. Alpha is going to be doing a lot of... not quite damage control but something between these two lol.
The only thing I would say is that yes, Sai's difficulties regarding connection with his "self" are similar to Sasuke's disconnect with his physical body, but Sasuke is deeply in touch with his emotions, while Sai as an artist is very aware of his physical self.
Sasuke's primary drive is the emotional connections he has with his immediate family, his friends, and his clan, his people. That might be part of the separation between his body and his desires - they have not always moved him towards the same goal, and his body has "failed" him more than once. Omegaverse Sasuke particularly feels this way because heats feel like a regularly scheduled reminder of weakness and until he experiences the emotional tether of a mate, he finds them deeply frustrating and gets rid of them with some grade-a genuine article Orochimaru drugs.
Sai is an artist, but he is specifically a painter. In more than one drama, painting is directly compared to a warrior's fighting style, which makes it very interesting that for Sai they are not only a comparison, but one and the same. For Sai, his paintings are one of the only ways he's able to connect his physical self to what he's feeling. I would even say that he's the most aware of his physical self when he is painting. At all other times though, I do think that you are right, that while Sai does sort of instinctually inhabit his physicality the way any very skilled physical performer does, that he doesn't connect his emotions to his body. Maybe a bit of inverse to the way Sasuke doesn't feel he can always connect his body to his emotions...
Since we're saying things today, the idea of Sasuke/Lee came to me because of the parallels between their respective mentors. Kakashi/Guy works very well as a ship, both logically and emotionally, but I like them as friends, simply because their bond is so particular. Kakashi has so few true friends though that in my writing, I preferentially preserve that profoundly cultivated relationship between them as an unshakeable friendship rather than a romantic entanglement. Thought it would be fun to play that out in their students instead ;)

AAAAH can I just say I am so soft that you remembered me and zuri🥺
I completely get why Sofia would feel pressured to say yes, it's a loaded question. Especially with her feelings about her mortality (which I'd love to hear about btw if you're down to share👀👀).
Zuri ends up saying that she's curious when she's asked about the blood drinking. She's always been a big supernatural fangirl so her answer would usually be a yes lol, but she's worried that she's only valuable to people now (ub, the chamber, rebecca - especially rebecca) because of her blood. After the brief conversation with her LI (i still have her romancing everyone💀) about her blood and them being tempted by it, she isn't keen on the possibility of having those thoughts confirmed.
Also, re: the chamber. How did Sofia feel about them before and after meeting them? And how does she feel about not being a detective anymore?
Which just sooo...uuuuaaah. I feel like it's WAY too soon for that, I don't don't have words to express how bummed I was when I read that. Especially since the detective can't say no. They've only had that title for a couple of months. I get that they're so involved that it makes sense for them to eventually be a full on agent, but in the 3rd book of a 7 book series? With the detective barely getting a chance to think about it?🧍🏽‍♀️
YES OF COURSE !!!! <333 oh my gosh there are so many wayhaven oc's that just float around in my brain – even if i'm not active, i'll think about them sometimes and be like "hmm i wonder if (insert mutual) is working on something (insert oc) related right now :)" i love zuri !!!!!!!
ok this is probably gonna be long so i'm preemptively putting the rest under the cut
AH !!!! i love mortality talk hehe okay so i've written this in fic form before more fleshed out than this but here's a tl;dr version <3 so sofía's whole thing is that she struggles letting go of who she thought she was going to be and reconciling with what her life is – she's always wondering what her life could've been if she'd done a, b, or c. and with mason, it's the first time she's really able to let go, because there aren't any expectations – except for turning. sofía knows if she chose to turn, it wouldn't be her choice. she'd be turning for mason. and a huge part of her character is the fact that she's taking her own agency back by not turning – truthfully, i still don't know if she ever will! if she made the decision it'd be in old age (okay time to laugh about mis/hka's whole 'de-aging' thing, because she's afraid of being 40 years old i guess) TY FOR ASKING I LOVE TALKING AB THIS STUFF
also ZURI !!!!!! i just want to hug her and tell her she's worth more than her blood UGH also all of ub needs to give her a smooch and tell her everything is okay </3 she's precious 2 me !!!!!! i really hope that by the time that we get blood drinking in canon, she's more comfortable with it <333 she deserves a lil bitey bite KFMKDKMDF
OOF THE CHAMBER.......... so many thoughts. so so so many. none of them good honestly LMAO so i think sofía was nervous/scared to meet them at first, because although she's able to woo over most people with her trademark friendly/genuine approach – the whole thing just made her very uneasy. afterwards, she felt even worse – a lot of her discomfort comes from her feeling like overall she has a lack of agency in any situation relating to her job, and meeting an even more authoritative, what-we-say-always-goes-no-matter-what group that's expecting her to kneel at their feet and blindly serve them, is fucking with her mind. she was accepting of the existence of supernaturals in book 1, but truthfully, the more she learns, the more i think internally she's starting to freak out.
also! i think that she's deeply upset about not being a detective – not because she ever wanted to be a cop in the first place, but because for years, she's held onto the idea that this year is the year she'll go to med school. "i can leave this job at anytime. this is just temporary." but the more that she gets sucked into the supernatural world, the more she's having to divorce herself from the version of herself that she's always wanted to be. (she wants to be a person who helps people, even though she already is, but she never thinks what she's doing is enough)
SORRY FOR THE DUMP ABOVE DKMFMKDFMKD i just love talking about her so much ugh im sorry
ALSO YES TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH !!! dude. it's SOOOOO soon. and i know from the stuff mis/hka has said, i highly doubt that this is a setup for something later – like even the idea that mc joins the agency and is immediately terrible at the position for narrative purposes – or even the idea of mc being forced to join for surveillance purposes – i just don't trust her with those types of complexities

Batman Annual 14 is really the definitive Two-Face origin in my opinion largely because it does the best job of emphasizing the steady barrage of horrific events and general stressors leading to his complete loss of faith in the efficacy of the law and the judicial system down to the most basic assumption of safety from violent assault as an attorney in a goddamn courtroom and it fleshes out the childhood trauma that parallels him with Bruce not as the REASON for him becoming Two-Face but as just another horrible stressor that is dredged up on top of everything else while his coping mechanism and outlet for it crumbles before his eyes. The circumstances make the acid bath a believable “final straw” (rather than the 1:1 acid made him crazy thing 😭) and it doesn’t portray Two-Face as an “inevitability,” but rather the idea that it was inevitable and he never had a choice is something Harvey himself clings onto to rationalize and distance himself from the guilt of his actions and the perceived “badness” of his anger. The emphasis on the unstoppable force-immovable object conflict between his intense desire to do and be good against his anger and despair and disillusionment tempting him to become the “bad” that he’s always feared he fundamentally is and the immense distress that causes him is very central here and I appreciate that. And most importantly it shows GILDA as someone firmly in his corner all throughout and utterly convinced of his “goodness.”
I can’t speak fully on the Loeb version until I’ve re-read Dark Victory too for the whole story but in general I find some issue with that version of Harvey. The psychological/traumatic aspect of Two-Face is minimized which is fine in theory but there’s also a severe minimization of the factors at play that lead to Harvey’s snapping so as a result he’s portrayed as cynical, pessimistic, and a bit bloodthirsty all throughout the story as sort of his default state, which I’m not a big fan of. The distance between this version of Harvey and Two-Face is not very big, which helps with “believability” I guess, but it’s just not how I prefer to interpret Harvey Dent, District Attorney personally. I want him to fall far because that’s what makes the tragedy imo. There doesn’t seem to be a destruction of faith and an ultimate “snapping” here so much as Harvey taking the burning of his face as an excuse to run off and just do exactly what he’d been itching to do the whole time. However this all clearly works well with the central mystery of finding out who the Holiday killer is, because by the time even Bruce and Gordon are nearly convinced it’s Harvey, it makes sense why they feel that way. Harvey had been dropping red flags throughout the whole story Lmao. BUT in terms of him being suspected of serial killing I have more thoughts in the next one 👇
Two Face: Year One is NOT an ideal version of the story either for a few reasons with its biggest sin being the unforgivable complete and utter omission of Gilda but it also adds/emphasizes some things I really like, such as the friendship between Harvey and Bruce from long before Harvey was DA. The most interesting part of this version to me is that Harvey’s history of mental illness is exposed and that is what is used to cast doubt on him (as opposed to like. his personality lmfao) leading to basically the whole city suspecting that he’s become a serial killer and watching everyone up to and including his good friend Bruce Wayne (and not to mention his dedicated therapist who he considers a father figure😭) seemingly turn on him overnight and expect the worst with genuinely NO evidence other than his imagined instability as a human being which becomes a very tragic and unfair sort of self-fulfilling prophecy moment. But I HATE the fact that it completely skips over his recovery period after the attack and goes straight into Two-Face (which is also sort of true of Long Halloween) bc I think the agonizing depressing recovery is vital in making it clear that. Once again. The acid didn’t make him crazy. But the senseless excruciating pain and physical disfigurement that externalizes the part of him that people are scared of certainly would not have helped things.

Hi hi hi! I just found out that you released chapt 6 and 7 of glimpses of heaven and rushed to read them.
Your characterisations are so so- interesting and perfect, I love how you write james and reg like a teenage boys, y'know. james messes up, he can be harsh, is painfully oblivious to what he's feeling, he's 3 dimensional and i think you've really done him so much justice. regulus isn't just this emotionally unavailable guy too, he slips and opens up sometimes and regrets it right after. no pressure ofc, but will you write a regulus pov? (sorry if you've already been asked this) it'd be awesome to know more about his thoughts on james' insistent questions/chatting and his own relationship with wally and onion.
Also your writing style!!!! like its genuinely so funny and casual, it really feels like james' inner monologue and is so fun to read
I love your keeping up with the blacks idea, sounds awesome
Anyway i just wanted to say how much i love glimpses of heaven, I could rant my praises for much longer and'll probably get a brainrot about it soon lmao. I can't wait to see what you do with it in the future! xx
oh my goodness you are so darling. first of all i’m so happy that you’re enjoying glimpses of heaven so far!!!!!
my characterizations are something i work really hard on (and i definitely don’t always get it exactly how i want to), but it’s honestly a big part of the reason that writing takes me awhile. sometimes i’ll write a whole bunch of dialogue, but then i’ll have to go back through and remove things that i don’t feel like are genuine to the way i’m painting the characters.
and i would definitely love to write from regulus’s perspective!!! part of my dilemma right now is that i kinda wanna keep the mystery alive if that makes sense? like james obviously has not figured out how he feels about reg, and i feel like it’s kinda fun that we currently have no clue how reg feels. like does he know he’s gay? is he into james already? i currently have plans to do a reg chapter after he and james have their first kiss (which will happen eventually i promise). that’s also part of the reason i haven’t done sirius’s pov, like i kinda like that we only see their relationship through remus atm.
but that being said there’s a few things that are really needed from reg’s perspective so it is definitely coming down the line!!! and i’m feeling a bit tempted now so there’s a chance we could get a reg pov before he and james kiss, but it would probably be purposefully avoidant of his sexuality and thoughts of james and instead focus on his home life and relationship with barty, so no promises but we’ll see.
thanks again for your lovely message <3
