it's raining outside, and higuruma is laying on your bedroom floor.

the soft pit-patter of raindrops coupled with his dancing fingertips against the exposed skin of your waist is a song you haven't quite learnt the tune to yet — he lays on his side, hair tousled and damp, dark strands curling over his forehead, sleeves rolled up and tie forgotten somewhere in the doorway.

admittedly, you're in no better shape. your cheeks are cold, skin of your calves wet with rainwater from running across the busy streets with him, armful of whatever ingredients you two picked out for dinner, his suit jacket held above your head and the occasional chorus of laughter when either of you stomp a puddle and splash the other.

it's raining, and higuruma thinks he falls in love with you every single day, like it's born anew.

he falls in love with the girl he wakes up next to, mouth open and cheek smooshed into the pillows. he falls in love with the girl who doesn't know a thing about law, but argues better than him in the heat of the moment. he falls in love with the girl who kicked her boots through puddles of rain, ruining his pants — the girl who made him laugh about something so mundane.

it's raining, and higuruma is laying on your bedroom floor, oddly paired with his formal white shirt and a pair of pajamas, his dress pants draped over the washer — the dryer broke a few days ago, he forgot — he holds you close as he watches the water droplets race against the glass window.

he loves you.

“do you like the rain?” you ask him, head tucked into his neck, his eyes fluttering shut for a second, the question is lost on him for a moment.

“i like you.”

you don't respond yet, and higuruma opens one of his eyes, only to find you staring at him. “more than you like the rain?” he almost laughs at that, almost, and he pulls you impossibly closer.

“a lot more than i like the rain, i’m sure.”

it's raining outside, and higuruma never really liked when it rained, not at all.

he proposed to you in spring. married you in summer.

but now he hopes it rains tomorrow, he hopes you still want him then, and he hopes you'll splash him with another puddle.

@itisonlyeyes your henna design has made me think about jmart south Asian wedding and I'm Not Ok

Jon in a beautifully gorgeous deep green, bedazzled kurta/lehenga hybrid so like slightly more masculine kurta with some small, neat embroidery on the edges with a flowy huge lehenga skirt

He didn't go for the dupatta/orna/scarf cause hes still not great with potential restrictions of movement

He's all decked out in the bridal jewellery - my man is wearing the Biggest silver earrings, he's got the massive fake nose piercing that connects to his hair and hes SLAYING. (Maybe his grandma passed them down??)

You bet he's got that brooding bridal look down!! Although he sees Martin and he cannot keep it up for the life of him he's just a smiling mess

There's no loud music. (I know I'm sorry but it's them, the music is simple and meaningful and the guest list is small so its not quite the usual south Asian wedding but they enjoy themselves)

Martin is dressed very smartly in a light blue kurta, with billowing embroidery etching it's down up the kurta's sleeves and following in henna down his hands

He'd wearing light blue nail polish to match and his hair is dyed the same colour at the edges

I like the idea of Jon and martin sitting down and talking about what they wanted and coming up with the rituals not cause of the religious or cultural significance but because of what it meant to them specifically.

Like they do vows cause Martin has always loved that part of weddings and let's be honest, he just wants a chance to say nice things about Jon without him protesting and Jon agrees cause of literally the same reason (they're not good at compliments)

They do the turns around the fire but they hold hands instead of being tied to each other cause they feel like it represents how they chose each other and they do 15 turns cause it's Martin's lucky number (they first met on the 15th October 2015)

They skip the haldi cause sensory issues

They instead get everyone to make their own flower garlands and give them to each other and obviously Jon and Martin make each others flower garlands and Jon mostly agrees to it cause Martin seemed enthusiastic about it and he did want to keep the giving each other flower garland ritual but he gets the Most Excited about it in the end cause hes super detail oriented about his, making sure each flower is specifically positioned how he wants it to and Martin's going off just vibes. They must be the correct vibes but vibes nonetheless.

I love the idea of doing the bride's side has to steal the grooms shoes and the grooms side has to stop this from happening so we can get Shenanigans (Tim is the most intense about this. Gerry comes a close second. Sasha wins though.)

There aren't so much sides, cause everyone's friends with both, which makes the shoe game even more intense cause you never know when people will swap sides.

Gerry does their henna. He just gives off good at drawing vibes I dunno.

#feel free to add your own #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin k blackwood #jmart #jonmartin #lonelyeyes #tim stoker #sasha james #gerard keay #jmart fluff #its late so maybe ill think more about this later #but here you are

Shelley Hoskins drawing!!

It’s the first time I’ve drawn her but today I really really wanted to draw her (let’s forget it’s 3am)

I may or may not have calculated her age while I was in the bus today (brainrot always) jfjfjf I guess she was born either in 1980 or 1981 so she is either 39 or 40 😭👌

And here’s a quick rendition of how I would see her but I think a character sheet with more clothes would be more helpful but I’m in my portrait era hdjdjd (but I do see her with glasses and like intricate necklaces and random very mom like stuff if that makes sense? And bleached hair but you still can see her brown roots as she might have not bleached them again in a while)

#Shelley Hoskins fanart #bridgewater podcast fanart #bridgewater #bridgewater podcast #bridgies #fanart #Shelley Hoskins #nobody asked for this #but here you are #brainrot is brainrotting #bridgewater brainrot #bridgewater fanart #brainrot is wild #hope you enjoy #traditional drawing #hillarie burton morgan is SO pretty omg???#I think she fits the continuity of the look I gave Anne and Olivia ksksks

It’s just a tiny bar. Billy chooses the smallest one. They won’t miss it and it means the world to Billy. They’d understand, don’t they? Everybody loves chocolate and he hasn’t had chocolate in forever.

Read more on AO3 and yes, Billy gets adopted by Hopper again, because I just can‘t stop. Wrote this for the lovely @ihni.

#totally forgot to post about this when i uploaded the story #but here you are #harringrove #harringrove fic #read on ao3 #billy x steve #billy & hopper

I just think about 18-19 year old me and how much easier her life would be if she knew that she'll see her favorite band four times, visit Berlin four times & celebrate 2017 in there with a friend she met on this site.. That she had finally cut her hair short and loved it. But also that she actually got thinner which resulted in ED & some damage that still haunts her to this day. And no, it did not make her more desirable. That cats are way more easier to understand than she thought and that they are very misunderstood. That at 33 she'll have no kids and will actually be happy about it. This is not a must and she has a choice.

Yeah, life is strange.

A Slightly Scary Thing is occurring tomorrow morning so I'm coping with the stress by going to bed rambling about the fairest stars! (the Beren and Luthien steal 2 Silmarils AU I've been slowly posting on tumblr - now with a title and also a tiny meme I thought was funny)

I'm still not very sure how everything is going to pan out (Fingon keeps refusing to show up even though I want him to), but one realisation I have worked out is what exactly the Maedhros and Maglor storyline is doing - specifically, its Themes and Concepts, which I'm rather pleased with having figured out. When I introduced M&M into the AU in the first place, I realised it was SO important that they're still reckoning with Maedhros' time in Angband, the fact that Maedhros went to the parley in the first place and the fact that Maglor left him there. With the addition of their brothers' actions in Nargothrond, this makes M&M much more wary of the Oath and its consequences than Celegorm and Curufin canonically were.

But what I realised fully today I'd hit upon was that the specific trauma that binds the pair together is about leaving each other, and that's been driving them both in parts 1, 2 and 3 without my noticing! When Maglor is drifting on the edge of death, Maedhros tells him, over and over, "stay with me", and later at the critical moment he calls him back with the words "come back to me". Then as Maglor's recovering he tells Maedhros, "I dreamed you left me, or else I you," a line I'm extremely pleased with because in fact both are true. Maedhros left Maglor when he went to the Angband, and Maglor left him when he didn't rescue him (NOT that he was at all wrong to do that as I've previously argued!!).

Pretty much immediately after Maglor says that, of course, Maedhros leaves him to go on a wolf-hunting death quest, even though he says he doesn't want to do so. They never want to leave each other, you see. They keep doing it anyway.

#silmarillion #the fairest stars #look it got its own tag!#getting increasingly fond of it even though writing it without planning at all scares me #maedhros #maglor #unsure if anyone wanted odd dvd commentary on an unfinished bullet point fic #but here you are

i cant remember if someone asked you your opinions on the pomefiore members but uh- thoughts pls? ^^;

Before we start, a note: when I share my opinions on characters, I like to think of them from two different perspectives: that of a content creator and that of a casual fan. As such, I’ll be speaking on both what I think of writing each boy, as well as what I think of each boy on a personal level outside of writing.

Let’s begin!

👑 Vil 👑

This may come as a shock, but I would actually say I like writing Vil more than writing Rook 😂 Vil has a certain maturity about him that helps him command whatever scene he’s in. It makes it easier for me to write dialogue if someone like Vil is the focal point, the one guiding discussion. He comes off as regal and stern—a powerful person you don’t want to cross. It’s a delight when a character’s bite matches their bark.

The way Vil speaks and composes himself fits very well with my writing style. I also happen to have an interest in beauty, so I have the vocabulary to make Vil ramble about fashion, skincare, etc. His dialogue comes so naturally to me that sometimes I space out, and by the time I’ve drifted back, I’ve typed up a whole speech for Vil. Channeling that “tough love” energy of his is strangely cathartic—and the drive and self-assuredness that Vil exudes makes me feel more confident in myself when I write him.

All that being said, I don’t really care for Vil as a character. I admire his willingness to work hard to achieve his goals and that he challenges traditional gender roles. I definitely find his inner turmoil fascinating, and it’s interesting that he’s one of the... nicer dorm leaders, but my love for him stops there. I don’t mind that he’s strict (because in a cast as big as TWST’s, we’re bound to have some sticklers), but nothing about what Vil is appeals to me.

He’s... conventionally attractive, I guess????? But I’ve never liked his looks (especially not his purple Kool-aid dyed hair) nor have I considered him to be “fairest of them all”. I think most of his looks are just too severe for me, too bold of an eye look or too much with the hair 😔 and his vanity (because he does have it) isn’t an appealing trait either. His career is a big deterrent as well; I nope away from celebrities of all kinds because being one inherently puts the spotlight on him (and I have a strong preference for characters that work “in the shadows”, so to speak, over ones that have eyes on them at all times).

I also just disagree with some of his teaching; I get that Vil has good intentions, but I feel that, at times, he goes too far with his methods and imposes unrealistic expectations onto others. This is excused by TWST as “Vil is a celebrity, so he holds others to high standards as well”, but I feel that Vil needs to step back, take his own advice to take “context” into consideration, and think about others’ limitations and how to adapt to them instead of continuously pushing his own views with little regard for those limitations. In chapter 5, I totally get that he was blinded by envy and personal ambitions, but Vil overall is less like a character I’d enjoy and more like a tiger parent I’d want to keep away from.

🏹 Rook 🏹

Rook’s a joy for me to write (I love his positive attitude!), but I’ll be the first to admit that he isn’t easy. He often speaks in long, (unnecessarily) flowery sentences, which makes it a nightmare to arrange in a manner that makes sense but also reads well. You don’t want to throw in too many words or else it seems redundant or confuses the reader, but you don’t want to throw in too few because it wouldn’t be close enough to Rook’s poetic prose.

The occasional French phrases that he sprinkles in also trip me up 💦 I don’t know how to add those funky accent marks on letters, so I need to open a new tab and go out of my way to search for them... Sometimes I can’t quite remember certain nicknames or exclamations that Rook says, so I need to have 1-2 separate tabs open to cross reference the appropriate resources. When I’ve actually written all his dialogue out, then I go back and double check to make sure everything flows well and that the French is correct.

A unique challenge that comes with writing Rook is describing things from his perspective. Every scene is a work of art, and every possible negative thing is somehow spun to be positive. I have to sit there in my chair and have a good, long think sometimes before I can properly pour all my energy into a pure sensory overload of a description, or to find something good to say about something bad 😂 I feel like I’m never fully doing Rook justice, but I try my best with what I’ve got....!

Anyway~ It should be pretty clear from the multitude of thirst posts that Rook is my favorite from Pomefiore! I just like reading his superfluous way of speaking and how it weirds out everyone around him, but that he’s also very sharp-witted and observant if you look past that silly exterior. You don’t think he would backstab you until it’s way too late, so you definitely don’t want him as an enemy (like damn, this man can determine a LOT of your personal details just from looking at you; he’s TWST’s Sherlock Holmes) 😳 But when he’s on your side, he can be your greatest cheerleader. Rook’s just the kind of friend supporting me!

It’s also very admirable that Rook can stay so positive and see the beauty in even the worse of things and situations; that kind of optimism is such a rarity that it’s refreshing to me. No one could write a whole ass poem dedicated to how wonderful Crowley is BUT Rook. No one would long for the taste of poison and coo about how beautifully deadly an OB is BUT Rook. Admittedly, I sometimes experience intense second hand embarrassment at the cornier things Rook says 😂 He is cringe, but at least he is free............................

🍎 Epel 🍎

Epel is, hands down, my least favorite of the Pomefiore trio (this goes for both writing and for personal appeal). Compared to the other characters, Epel has a pretty passive and indistinctive way of talking in most of his dialogue. This frustrates me because when I read back what I’ve written for him, I constantly worry that he sounds too generic or that it’s difficult to distinguish his voice from the other characters’ voices. I have to contain my efforts to make it “be more Epel-y”, because otherwise every other sentence would be about apples, and “apples” is most certainly not his entire personality.

When his accent comes out, the situation somehow gets worse 😔 It’s very difficult to “translate” Epel’s dialect into English, but I usually default to the what can be considered a “southern drawl” in the United States (which I can’t write very well). This leads me to smashing together letters to make close approximations of other words or straight up using country-isms to replace more commonly spoken phrases. It tends to result in a big, confusing mess that reads very clunkily and hurts my eyes to look at 😷

The timing of when his accent comes out also confuses me. During chapter 5, it seems that the accent makes itself known only when Epel is angry or loses composure, but we’ve seen in a lot of recent vignettes that he can also casually switch between the two as long as Vil’s not around. I had to switch my writing up to adapt to the new lore. Writing Epel’s “accent” dialogue offends me—

I’ve often seen people describe Pomefiore as a “found family” dynamic, in which Vil and Rook are the parents and Epel is their rebellious child. Honestly, I’ve found that that’s my preferred way to digest Epel content (or really, any Epel interaction with other characters works) because I find him way too boring on his own. Sure, he’s cute with his looks and his shyness (when he’s putting on an act), but cuteness alone doesn’t endear me to a character and his politeness feels generic. Meanwhile, Epel’s wild child side comes off as very... one-note to me? It’s usually played for laughs (like “no one can understand him”) and he quickly goes back to his “polite” way of speaking right after, so it feels like a gimmick despite being told it’s an integral part of his identity. I only really felt that was true when we finally got to visit Harveston and learn more about its culture, but I feel that we shouldn’t need a whole event to significantly expand a character; Epel should be able to stand on his own as someone interesting, and he just... doesn’t to me.

It definitely doesn’t help that his character arc in chapter 5 seemed kind of rushed. I get that they were trying to show us Epel’s views on gender roles were regressive and how he changed for the better, but I really don’t think he should have made a 180 as quickly as he did; it paints an unrealistic view of how fast we should expect people to change their toxic opinions in the real world. Chapter 5 could have had Epel beginning to open his heart to change, not completely changing in the span of like a month.

#Pomefiore #Vil Schoenheit #Rook Hunt #Epel Felmier #spoilers #I don’t know if any of y’all care to hear my behind-the-scenes writing ramblings or not #but here you are #also I get the distinct impression that this ask will prompt others to ask what my thoughts on the rest of the cast are #notes from the writing raven #question

@droppingdonkeys gets sad Pietro hours - hooray

When Pietro wakes up, heart pounding and hands shaking, Wanda isn’t there. It’s no great shock, she often goes out in the afternoon, so she won’t disturb him on the days he comes home to sleep. Any other day he could shrug it off, any other day, the wave of what’s meant to be reassurance in the back of his mind would be enough.

But it’s faint today, too faint, not because Wanda’s hurt, or missing, but because she’s distracted. Too busy with other responsibilities to come running when Pietro’s dreams shift to memories. But she’ll be done soon enough. Pietro can wait.

He can wait. He can.

He’s determined to, until he catches sight of the old little clock they’ve managed to get working and the second hand doesn’t move. He watches, waits, and the little prong doesn’t move, doesn’t move, doesn’t move, doesn’t move - moves. But it took too long, and in the time it takes to shift over one little space he knows it should have moved at least twice more.

The next motion takes even longer, and Pietro knows he cannot sit and wait. Maybe if he runs, maybe he can burn this nervous energy out of his system.

The first few steps are reassuring, the way his feet hit the ground a hopeful sign that this will work. But each lap around the town brings him back to his starting point faster, until the wind he’s producing simply by moving is enough to rip posters off of walls if he passes too close to them, and cause innocent people to drop what they carry. Pietro’s gone too soon to realise the damage he’s leaving behind, too focused on the pain in his feet that he doesn’t know how to fix. He only knows his ragged breathing and still-pounding heart seem to scream faster, faster is the only solution, even though it cannot be. But he can’t stop running.

Until, suddenly, something in Pietro’s brain clicks for a second of clarity, and he realises he’s racing not towards the gap between people, but directly for a person. It’s only when he’s able to skid to something of a stop (not a total stop, because even without running, he can’t stand still, and he’s shaking quickly enough to be a silvery blur instead of a solid man) that he realises he knows this person.

He tries to apologise, but the words come out rushed even to his own ears, and he doubts Luisa will be able to understand him.

#okay so he's not great at communication today #and this got very long so apologies for both of those things #but here you are #a sad speedy boi #droppingdonkeys #eternity in an instant (pietro)
