Behold! A crack fic idea!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Extra point if each time one of the Desmonds does something that goes against the timeline we get a flashforeward to the present day, and it's a different kind of post-apocalypse each time.
Extra extra points if the post-apocalypses get increasingly absurd and ridiculous as the story goes on.
Okay, so for this one, we have:
Clay!Desmond
Layla!Desmond
Minevra!Desmond
The Reader
which means I can do this:
Tumblr media
How the Desmonds met cat!Desmond:
Tumblr media
I kinda like the idea that we never learn who sent cat!Desmond into the past. Hell, we never learn he’s actually a Desmond as well. He just keeps following them and likes to use his claws to get a ‘piggyback ride’. XD
A visual representation of how the Desmonds are tackling every major events of their ancestors:
Tumblr media
(not part of the visualization: the dude in charge of the Templars in Cyprus because the Desmonds actually forgot about him and thought he was just one of the mooks)
And then we have Elijah who tries to act all serious and kinda like a dick (it's the Aita genes) but can't help but lean into any kindness and gentleness the Desmonds show him.
Tumblr media
The poor modern gang:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(It would be funny if they didn't realize that there are multiple Desmond running around at first so they assume they only have one Desmond to worry about)
Rebecca updating her notes every few weeks:
Tumblr media
The modern day gang's relationship with the Desmonds (that the Desmonds are unaware of)
Tumblr media
Also... this was the first ridiculous 'apocalypse' I thought of XD
Tumblr media
What the structure of the idea would probably be:

📚 🔮 🎨 i love u
Love you too!!! 😍💖🌸
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend? Aaaargh, you know that I forget any opinion I've ever held the second anyone asks me for one! There's so many incredibly talented ppl in this fandom, and so many fantastic fics, how am I to choose one??? Here's some I've read and loved recently:
hunter's moon by mourningshowers: a very intriguing werewolf AU with a cool, unique spin on pack dynamics, and stunning prose - the descriptions of ppl's scents in particular stuck with me, they're so vivid and evocative! butter, sugar, and northern mockingbirds by @thefreakandthehair: the most perfectest, soft, mushy, sweet bakery AU. If you're in need of a fic that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy and happy inside, this is a definite rec! Never coming down (with your hand in mine) by @eyesofshinigami: the latest instalment in their omega!Eddie series, which I adore. If you're into a/b/o and omega Eddie, give this one a read!
🔮 Any advice for writers working through burnout or writer’s block?
Some things that work for me, personally:
Just write! I sit myself down, set a word count (100 words, 200 words, doesn't matter, it's about getting started) and don't get up or hop on socials before I have written that word count down. Maybe I'll find my flow and keep going, maybe I'll think it's garbage and leave it for the day. I never delete what I wrote, even if I hate it. Instead, I come back a day or two later and look it over with a fresh pair of eyes. Most of the time, I'll realize that it doesn't suck as bad as I thought it did.
Write something small! If my large WIPs seem too daunting atm, I'll try a microfic or drabble - something small and relatively low effort. Those also have the added bonus that I can yeet them out immediately after they're done, and the reactions I get usually give me the serotonin boost I need and motivate me to write more. (Bc I'm an attention whore like that! XD)
Let the brain run idle! I take a walk. I craft or doodle something. I play with my kid. I watch a movie or go out with friends. The main thing is, I don't write. I try to not even think of writing. That's often when my best ideas hit me out of nowhere.
🎨 If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?
I am blessed enough to have a bunch of incredibly talented mutuals who have made so much wonderful, gorgeous, incredible art of my work. I look at it daily, it makes me feel so incredibly loved and cherished. I couldn't wish for more! That being said, if someone asked me, I'd probably pick for a scene from Someone who cares because that's my oldest fic (my baby, my firstborn, etc.) and it doesn't have any art yet.

Back to the Swamp rundown!
So...
Disney Channel's YouTube account just released a new TOH chibi tiny tale.
And it's a crossover with Amphibia!
Here's my summarization of the events.
Tumblr media
It begins with Luz meddling with the good 'ol portal door.
I'm not sure what she's expecting to accomplish, but Eda and King evidently found it interesting enough to watch. Eda even brought popcorn!
Tumblr media
But whatever Luz did, it worked!
I have no idea when this is supposed to be occurring within the series timeline by the way. Luz is wearing season one outfit, has access to the portal door, which is also not destroyed.
So, season one, right?
But Eda has her post "Let the pain be shared" silver eye... And her season two dress for that matter!
Tumblr media
Ah well, onwards to adventure! Eda is all for it!
Tumblr media
King is a bit more... concerned, but comes along too.
Tumblr media
Doesn't stop him from being mystified about the wildlife, though.
Tumblr media
I guess Luz was trying to get back to The Human Realm?
Because she seems utterly shocked by the sudden realization that man-sized insects means that she can't possibly be on earth, lol.
Tumblr media
But luckily for the denizens of the owl house, they've landed in Amphibia! By Wartwood! Right in front of the Plantar family home!
While Anne's friends Marcy and Sasha were visiting no less! What luck!
Tumblr media
Anne and Luz formally reunite and introduce their respective families/friends to one another. It's very cute.
Tumblr media
Sasha and Eda evidently decided that they just had to have an arm wrestling competition.
Tumblr media
Sasha uses the powers gifted to her by the Calamity Box in order to win, lol.
Tumblr media
But Eda gets the last laugh!
Tumblr media
Then Marcy and King play a board game together.
Tumblr media
Annnnnd she also uses her Calamity Box powers to win.
Girls, you do realize that's considered cheating, right?
Tumblr media
Hooty also makes an appearance.
I guess he was wondering where everybody went?
Tumblr media
Polly proceeds to use him as a jump-rope, lol.
I'm surprised that Hooty isn't more into this, but maybe he was genuinely worried about the people who live inside of him and didn't appreciate being used a kid's plaything after braving the unknown in his best effort to find them. Lol.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Luz is showing off her sick glyph skills!
...Which I just realized, probably shouldn't work in Amphibia.
Tumblr media
Ah well, we wouldn't have gotten this nice moment where she and Anne show off their magical powers to each other otherwise!
Tumblr media
After all is said and done, our heroes settle down to have a meal.
I'm reasonably certain that they're eating bugs. Yum, protein.
Hop Pop and Eda are doubtlessly exchanging tips on parenting orphans and their other-dimensional friends, lol.
Tumblr media
Throughout this whole adventure, the portal door has been... shrinking?
Because... the writers needed a reason for Luz and Co to have go back to The Demon Realm suddenly?
XD That's my best guess, as I don't recall there ever having been a time limit when it came to using the original portal door. It was kinda OP like that.
Tumblr media
Anywho, Luz and Co need to leave immediately. Anne and Luz are quite sad to see one another go.
Tumblr media
King really wants to make sure to say goodbye to everybody properly!
Tumblr media
To the point he was a little too preoccupied to notice the portal door closing on him.
Also: Hop Pop faints because he thinks he just saw a little kid get decapitated, lol.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, back in the owl house, Luz is sad that she had to say goodbye to Anne. Eda comforts her, it's a sweet sight.
Tumblr media
What isn't such a sweet sight is what King looks like minus his skull.
Tumblr media
Although King himself is rather nonplussed about the whole thing.
Like mother, like son. Lol.
Tumblr media
Luz is completely and totally horrified by the sight of King...
And that's the note that we end on!
Overall, cute little short.
And as a bonus...
Tumblr media
XD This is officially canon now.

Double Date Part 1 - Roy Kent x Platonic!Reader (Ted Lasso Fic)
Tumblr media
A/N: Roy Kent is your sour bestie and hates your mean boyfriend.
"Oh come on Roy! Y/N has been asking us to double date with their boyfriend for a month now. They're gonna think you don't like them anymore if you keep dodging 'em babe." As much as it pissed Roy off that Keeley was right, he knew he had to make an appearance especially since Luke is letting you show your face in public for the first time in a while. He'd always been skeptical of the guy when you first started dating but he didn't want to get in the way of your happiness as you'd been so helpful in getting him off his ass to win Keeley back.
"Oi! Fine. We'll fucking go on this stupid double date to check on Y/N." Keely squealed in excitement. She knew you'd be so happy to see your best friend. Roy looked down at his phone to text you back in your chat with Keeley.
RK: Let's meet at your favorite restaurant, Y/N/N.
YN: Luke made reservations for us at Pearl's. xD
RK: But you fucking hate that place.
YN: It's grown on me :3 ... Besides you and Keels love going there!
RK: If you're sure.
Only a fucking arsehole would take their partner to a place they absolutely hate. Roy tried to shrug off the weirdness of your texts and focus on the Tesco trip he had planned with Keeley. ___________________
At dinner, Roy's concern only grew. You came at him like you normally would for an overly aggressive hug but the look in Luke's eyes as he witnessed it was not at all jokingly annoyed even though his words were meant to be. Keeley hugged you with the same energy - having missed you the last few weeks.
"C'mon Darling, don't make a show with me right here."
"Sorry love, you know Roy's my best mate from my time at Chelsea."
"Why don't we get our table then? Thanks for making the rezzie Luke!" Keeley, bless her heart, attempted to diffuse the situation by deflecting attention towards the restaurant you all were meeting at.
You tried to get Luke and Roy to engage in conversation but it seemed Luke only cared about Keeley today.
"Honey, why don't you tell Roy about your new promotion at work?"
"Yes Luke, tell me about fucking work." Keeley rolled her eyes at Roy's sarcasm before hopping in. "Congratulations Luke! What is it you're doing nowadays?"
"Well Keeley, I am now a senior financial analyst at a big firm in London. Taking on more responsibilities and training new idiots."
"They're not idiots babe - they just need your guidance to know what to do. It's not easy being the new kid on the job." The wicked smile Luke gave you at your response made you freeze. Keeley might have missed it because she piped up adding onto your stance but Roy's all knowing gaze caught the slight tremor in your hand as you reached for your wine.
Luke chose that same moment to make a big gesture with his arms pushing back on Keeley a bit and happened to bump your wine allover your shirt as you went to sip. Roy stood up in fury as you did in shock. Luke had the audacity to laugh.
"Oi! Fucking hell, what was that?" Roy breathed heavily as Keeley put a hand on his arm to let him know she was there.
"Sorry Darling, guess you should be more careful of what's happening around you." You took a deep breathe to calm your nerves although now you were full on shaking. You nodded along mumbling an apology to the group.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Hey Y/N/N, it's not your fucking fault. It's this twat sitting next to you's fault."
Luke threw his napkin on the table as Roy sat down and you were wiping your top. "Alright that's it. Y/N, we are leaving. I'm sick of his shit."
Keeley spoke up concerned at how you've completely shut down.
"Y/N/N, babe, you can stay with us for dinner if you want. I've got a spare top you can borrow in the car. It'll only take a second." You shook your head while gathering your things. Luke had already started walking away from your group.
"No that's okay Keeley. I don't want to make things any worse than I have. You both have a good meal. Roy, you be better be good to this one." You pointed to Keeley with a small smile on your face.

To hop on previous ask, can only omegas get pregnant? What about female betas like Dr. Keller? If she had a mate- alpha, beta, or omega- who was male, could she feasibly get pregnant? I know there's fics where a/b/o were like a secondary gender so a man who presented as an omega might get pregnant because they have both sets of parts- though i've seen some backlash on that from people calling it transphobic, but that's neither here nor there.... woops, let that train get away from me XD anyway, i would be curious to hear your take and/or how that might work in your version, or even just your version in this particular fic. Are Betas basically seen as the enders of family lines? Oh oh! And how does the passing on of family lines work? Is it strictly patriarchal where the sons' names are always taken by the bride or is it the alphas, male or female, who "continue" the family line? I'm thinking about Mulan 2 where because she was the only child, all of her ancestors would no longer be honored because she'd have to go to her husband's ancestors after the marriage (meaning Mushu would be out of his guardian job- again- which of course leads to highjinks of him trying to break them up before the wedding, and here i am getting distracted again...)
Sorry for the long and rambly ask. Hope you're doing well, or at least taking time to recover if things aren't going as well as they could be. Remember, you are important, and you don't have to "earn" rest, nor do you have to have anything "bad" happen to earn it either. Idk if i said that right, but i'm gonna stop 'cause this ask is too long already XD
<3<3 - crow anon
Alphas, betas, and omegas can get pregnant! It's just omegas that are only fertile during their heat cycle, but they can get impregnated by alpha, beta, or even another omega during that time. Alphas and betas are more like us regular humans, as they can get pregnant at any point and don't rely on a heat/rut cycle for fertility. Though the standard pairing is alpha/omega (and that's what gives the status of purebred for alphas and omegas that have that parentage), as we've seen in the fic there can be alpha/beta pairings (Price's parents), or beta/beta pairings (Gaz's parents), and like in the last ask, in a larger pack you might have beta/omega or even omega/omega pairings.
Things like adoption, fostering, surrogacy, and (for the rich) IU and IVF, still exist in the world of the fic. Let's take Laswell and her wife for example. They're both betas and if they decided they wanted a pup at some point, they could go a lot of routes like adoption or IU or surrogacy. With the IU/surrogacy options, they'd have a choice of an alpha or beta donor (if they cared about the potential presentation of their pup later on, which I don't think they really would.)
And I know someone is going to ask, if the omega has male anatomy, and the alpha has female anatomy, the omega will be the one impregnating the alpha. Male omegas still go through heat cycles, but it's more like a male alpha's rut, and they're still only fertile during the heat cycle and could only impregnate their alpha during that time. The male omega will still feel the intense instincts to care for the pup, even if they themselves didn't birth the pup. Same with adoption at any age (I think I did talk about this at one point), omegas will develop those intense instincts to care for pups that aren't their own. Even from outside a pack.
As far as family line goes, that's a bit trickier. It really depends on the type of pack. The more normal, small pack with just two people would be closer to what we'd expect from a marriage in our world. In traditional alpha/omega packs, the omega would take the name of the alpha, and that's probably the case in most alpha/beta packs too. Beta/beta packs it would probably be whichever has the cooler name lmaoo, or they might just keep their own names. It's kind of just up to personal preference.
In larger packs though, obviously you've got multiple people with multiple names and they're not just all going to take the pack alpha's name (as we see with the pack in the fic, they don't all have Price's name). Some might choose to do so, for many different reasons, but it's less expected of them versus like in a traditional pack. Omegas might, simply to show off status/claiming. There wouldn't really be any benefit to it, like they wouldn't suddenly have rights because they're mated to an alpha or part of a pack. Just like in marriages in our world, it's a simple paper that shows proof of claiming and then if the parties change their names/etc that's entirely up to them.
I hope this makes sense lol I could write a whole novel about this stuff lol.

Hi Kai, it's me again!
While I agree that Donna is No1 forever and always I'm also excited to see the others in the AU! Are they all professors or do they habe different roles?
- Valentines anon
Hello again Valentine! It's good to see you :D
Ah yes, our beloved Donnie <3 Always and forever our Queen
I'm honestly extremely excited to further develop this AU! Progress is slow-especially cause i'm mostly focusing on Donna rn and i've just started college-but I really wanna turn this into smth cool and make as much content as I can for it! I'd hope to some day make lil comics for it and at least have some sort of fic written for the AU. Though i'd be just as happy if I only ever get asks XD Anything that gets me to at least talk about it, doodle, and further develop ideas XDD The motivation and joy that come from knowing other people like the idea is great fuel (aside from my own enjoyment and obsession with it PFFT)
As for the others!!!- More info on them under the cut!!!(I wrote way more than intended LOL i'm figuring things out as i'm writing pfft-)
I see all of them as like board members for the school. Leading and managing it at the highest level right under Miranda who ofc is the headmistress(might come up with a different title, still in development). Let's get into a few quick details about the other Lords though! Do note that not much worldbuilding has gone on so types of magic and what is taught at the school is still in the works. Quite literally everything is still in VERY early development so expect changes
Alcina Dimitrescu
Definitely a professor! Of what..? Well uh....i'm still working on it! XD Perhaps of a music related magic? (Resident Lover shows Alcina as the art professor and while I think it's a great choice for her, I don't want to just hop onto the same idea.) I don't really see much about Alcina's relationship with music so perhaps I can do something for it through this AU :) Either that or a "dark arts" type thing? Necromancy and shadow related things? I'll be honest i'm slightly leaning towards darker arts...especially for plot reasons...
A vampire- ofc she is PFFT, the Dimi Daughters are also vampires(whether they're her biological children or were willingly converted is still in development)
She's every teacher that complains about other teacher's methods and classrooms
Karl Heisenberg
In charge of school security! He's technically supposed to be teaching students about combat and taking in certain students for a guard internships but he has an assistant who does the actual teaching for him LOL He's just there to occasionally be the face and the muscle of the program XD Though he does do some actual teaching for that program, he's more about demonstrating and correcting students he observes(he also just mostly is interested in the security interns)
Now because his assistant handles most things related to the combat courses/guard internships he actually teaches a second class with a different assistant. It's metal/machine based and as it's more a deep passion of his he actually takes it more seriously and prefers to do more of the teaching himself. All his assistants and deputies just make it more manageable for him to be taking care of multiple things like this. He actually spends the most time and effort on this class.
Is a Lycan! They can't turn into wolves or convert others though (a good portion of the school's security is actually lycans)
His magic is also a work in progress, though in this AU in general I want to have some who mostly just focus on mastering one form of magic and those who are experienced in multiple. Obviously the more types you focus on (that aren't considered more basic/general stuff ex. lighting a candle with a snap, animating an object to do a simple task, ect.) the less you master each. I would like him to possible specialize in more than one but we'll see how things go!
Salvatore Moreau
I actually imagine he'd be a professor of healing related magic or a beastmaster, and also supervising a program about experimental magic
Handsome fish man. You know classyfruit's gorgeous genderbent Moreau? Yeah, but handsome fish man. A triton but more fish-like
Wow this was short and he needs more love
Extra love for handsome fish boi Moreau

I LOVE POKEMON I LOVE POKEMON I LOVE POKEMO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i have two pokemon ocs/personas , one for paldea and the other for galar. the paldean guy is named rubie (left) and the galarian guy (technically from my first pokemon game!!! shield has a special place in my heart forever) is named cacao (right). theyre brothers, both champions
cacao co-champions with hop because for the life of them they couldnt stop winning/losing at the exact same time so they challenged leon individually (and both won). cacao loves the cold and stayed in galar because of how much he loves his region. surprisingly he doesnt actually like battling much bc he sucks at strategy and just goes with whatever his pokemon think is the right thing to do
rubie is confused on what to do with his life but loves pokemon. he loves spending time in area zero because it feels magical to him. the pokemon around paldea and area zero dont attack him as much as they attack others, theyre pretty used to him cus he feeds them like ducks. hes neutral on battling but loves the thrill of catching, still sucks at strategy cus it runs in the family
Oh wow, pretty thought out :0
I cant wait to get my first pokemon game for my birthday this yeah hehe I wanna get in all the hype of making thought out ocs!
I tend to want the source before I indulge cuz I don't wanna go too out of canon, I'm annoying like that Xd, only after I'm comfortable with canon do I go out and venture
They're pretty interesting tho! From what I understand at least, somethings I'm absolutely lost at what you ment fkskska
Tho, it would be fun to have our ocs/persona interact? Maybe? Gkskska I only have Salty, my own danm persona, but oh well, she's more like wn oc at this point XD just one I pretend to be
It's fine if you're not comfortable with that BTW just suggesting incase you are gkdskkaaj

Let's take this asshole down. Through gambling and... time travel... something. I don't know. I do not understand the plan. Halara's playing this close to their chest.
But I trust Halara and that's good enough. GO TEAM ALARM CLOCK!
Tumblr media
...they're excusing themselves from the table. Maybe the draw is the plan? A stall for time?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whoopsy doodle.
I've always wondered how you're supposed to do that maneuver subtly. It shows up in so many things but it's always so obvious that it's a ruse. But. Is it obvious because I already know it's a ruse? I don't know.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...is... is that the whole plan? Why? Why is that the plan? I am super confused right now. Explain, senpai.
I suppose if we need a weapon you can probably cut him really bad with those glass shards but I don't understand how that helps us right now.
But okay. I'll throw the dice. And he'll throw his loaded dice. And then--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND THEN THE VENGEFUL SPIRIT OF HIS PAST SINS WILL ENTER THE ROOM.
IT WAS A FUCKING SIGNAL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^_^ It was a Lucky Day miracle. Gosh, I just feel so blessed. What were the odds that his trick dice would malfunction and that guy that fell from the rooftop would miraculously return to consciousness all at the same time?
What did I tell y'all? My fortune teller was right. It's protective rainclouds and roses ALL. DAY. LONG.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sorry friend-o but 7 beats 8 and that means I win.
This was a great plan. Halara's the best. I'm glad we got to team up with them after all. Unlike that useless Desuhiko who completely bailed on us before we came into the casino.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay I was shitposting but no, Fubuki sincerely doesn't realize what Desuhiko's role in this plan was. XD I generally don't like when the game goes too hard on "LOL Bimbo" for Fubuki but that line was priceless.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at her. Poor Fubuki.
Halara's launching straight into the post-case debrief but Fubuki's over there staring into middle distance and questioning reality right now. Anyone could secretly be Desuhiko. How long was the rooftop faller Desuhiko? What if everyone is secretly Desuhiko?
What. If. I'm. Secretly Desuhiko?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That was Lucky Day powers at work! It's like I said. Just because the fortune teller was a paid corporate shill, that doesn't mean the fortune she read can't be real. Fate works in mysterious ways! You don't know!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a sweet moment for Halara. We're. Just. Going to ignore that Fubuki had to reload her save a couple of times to make that happen.
It still counts. I think most gamers would agree with that. Maybe not those perma-death tryhards....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHY ARE YOU TRYING?
I don't think Fubuki would rewind to cheat on purpose in a friendly game with her colleagues. She's not going to go, "Oh, they had a good hand. Well, I'll just hop back in time and fold so I don't lose my chips."
I do, however, think Fubuki would innocently rewind because she shouldn't have given that card away, without even realizing that it's cheating.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Halara, you've created a monster. Still, I suppose maybe I should take back what I said too. Fubuki's got a good grasp of what would be an inappropriate use of her powers in this game. Instead, the real reason Desuhiko can't take her is obvious.
Because it's her motherfucking Lucky Day, y'all!
Tumblr media
^_^ This was a good day. I enjoyed this substory quite a bit. Fubuki is, as expected, an utter treat to play as. The rapport between Fubuki and Halara is brilliant, and I want to see the two of them team up more.
100% would play Fubuki and Kurumi team-up spinoff. 100% would play Fubuki and Halara team-up spinoff. Fubuki, Kurumi, and Halara team-up spinoff? Solid motherfucking gold.
With one case where Halara wheels a container into the room as a special weapon to deploy against their adversaries. And when they open it up, Vivia's lying in there, ready to join up with them for this one chapter.
Just one, though. Not because I don't like Vivia. I adore Vivia. But because Vivia's a character who should be used sparingly. His whole vibe is "I will not do anything for 95% of this story. But when I do get up, shit gets real."
This was great. I was so happy.
You can still see Kodaka's disrespect for the character bleeding through. Desuhiko's chapter was all about Desuhiko trying and failing to solve his case, while Halara more or less takes over Fubuki's case for her own good. Fubuki quickly becomes a supporting character in her own plot. That's not great.
But the dynamic between Fubuki and Halara is nonetheless charming enough to carry it. So I had a good time all the same.

I think it would be interesting if you'd made an au where the dolls see that they have also wronged Lou and should of given him a 2nd chance. So they now try to earn his trust. From styling his hair to how it originally was and giving him more comfortable clothing to trying to talk to him more. But it's very hard to do so because the former leader is now depressed, anxious, and jumpy. He closes himself off and vows to never trust any doll ever again.
And maybe another au where Lou is very smart and manipulative and everything goes his way.
Btw I love your fics, I've searched everywhere to find good Lou angst and you make my day. Thank you for keeping the fandom alive.
Awww, you're so sweet! I'm glad you enjoy the stories! I've also heard you've found my friend @natalie-the-writer 's account. Her stories are absolutely AMAZING! She has such amazing attention to detail and can make any scene feel so real in your imagination. If you haven't already, I HIGHLY recommend reading through all of her stories on her profile. They're awesome!
And since I've gotten an ask similar to the latter portion of your ask, this one will revolve around the former prompt. Brace yourself, this will be longer (for the first time in forever XD).
<><><><><><>
The dolls prided themselves in how fluidly everything seemed to be running at the Institute. It was like Ox had said: they didn't need Lou. From an outside perspective, everything seemed to be going about splendidly. More importantly, everyone was happy.
Moxy hummed a made-up tune to herself as she walked down the winding sidewalks of the villa. Dolls -- with happy smiles, she was pleased to note -- waved and offered their own greetings as they swept by each other. She found her best friend, Mandy, and hopped in front of the doll's path with an enlightened expression. "Hey, Mandy!"
"Hi," the female offered a small smile of her own. "Have you seen Nolan anywhere? I haven't been able to find him."
Nolan. Did she know a Nolan? There were so many dolls that it was difficult to remember all of their names. Mandy must have caught on to her perplexed face because she soon elaborated. "Has the sign around his neck? Brown hair? Green and purple eyes? Kinda tall?"
For such a specific description, Moxy would've thought herself to be quick with a revelation. Unfortunately, that description didn't fit any of the dolls she had grown to be close friends with in the past few months. "Mmm, sorry. I don't think I know a Nolan." She admitted guiltily. "But!" She swung a short leg out to proceed in the direction Mandy had been going in, "I can help you find him!" Then she would know who Nolan was and all would be splendid again.
Mandy accepted the offer silently and walked in what seemed to be an aimless direction. However, she had a specific destination in mind. Nolan had mentioned a few times in conversation about a certain doll that she'd rather not bring up in front of...well, anyone else. So, unbeknownst to Moxy, Mandy had them set toward the old wooden shed near the back of the Institute. Now that she dwelled on it, they hadn't seen Lou in quite some time.
Her theory proved fruitful when she recognized the brunette outside of the abandoned shed. Abandoned to others, not to Lou. Moxy's pace slowed down to a stop even as Mandy proceeded on. "The shed? Why would Nolan be here?" Her question wasn't answered. Mandy didn't really have a sound answer to it either.
Nolan had made his vigil just outside the closed door. He sat on the ground, knees drawn to his chest to rest his head on, and back pressed against the door. There was a plate of food set beside him. Mandy's footsteps caught his attention before he could say anything. Quickly, he put a finger to his mouth to warn her to be quiet. His eyes went to Moxy as she finally walked closer. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked, keeping his voice just above a whisper.
"Looking for you," Mandy answered. "What are you doing here?"
Nolan cast a short glance at the plate of food beside him. It had grown cold, now. "No reason. Maybe I like the peace and quiet." Mandy shook her head and sat down on the other side of the plate. She tapped a piece of bacon experimentally.
"I'm guessing this wasn't for you." Nolan didn't respond. "How many days has it been?"
"Five. Six, if you count today." Nolan sighed.
"What are we counting?" Moxy tilted her head at them.
The Pretty Dolls exchanged glances. Mandy spoke. "How many days it's been since Lou came out of the shed."
"He hasn't been cleaning?" Moxy looked taken aback.
"You haven't noticed he hasn't been around?" Nolan's eyes went a little hard at that. It was the closest to a glare Mandy had seen him pull off. Moxy stuttered out an excuse of some sort, but he brushed it off. "You two can go. He doesn't like having so many people around. It's just been me for the past week."
"How did you know he was locked up in the shed?" Moxy asked. Had she missed a sign or something? Were the other dolls talking about him? She hadn't heard a single mention of the blond since his downfall.
Nolan visibly refrained from rolling his eyes. Instead, he flicked at an imaginary piece of lint on his knee. "Well, he doesn't exactly have the looks to blend into the background. He stands out pretty well on his own." There was an audible bite to his tone that Mandy silently acknowledged and Moxy took no note of. "I came here the first day I noticed he was missing. The door's been locked and he put a tarp over the window to keep from anyone looking inside."
"Maybe he's plotting something," Moxy brought a hand to her chin in thought.
The brunette tried not to bristle at that comment. He closed his eyes, eyebrow raised indignantly. "Like I said, you two can leave. I've managed to get him to unlock the door and I don't need anyone undoing all that progress."
"If the door is unlocked, why don't you just go in?" Mandy blinked up at the potential entryway.
"Because I want him to be the one to open the door. This is the only place he can go without being pushed around by the other dolls -- in case you haven't noticed that either." Nolan sent a look over to Moxy. She shrunk a bit under the tone. "This is his safe place now, and I don't want to intrude on it. If I'm going to make any progress, I need him to be the one to let me in."
Moxy drummed her fingers against her side, eyeing the door that could easily be walked through. "You make it sound like he's scared or something. I'm sure he's just sitting in there pouting and refusing to carry out his punishment." Nolan's jaw clenched, but he kept his mouth shut lest any harsh words are said by him. "Let's just go in there and tell him to get back to work." She stepped up and turned the knob before Nolan or Mandy could stop her.
A concentrated form of light entered the dark room. It revealed the particles of dust floating aimlessly in the air. She waved off a few visible ones and noticed the small figure hunched in the corner of the room near the door. She had been about to say something but stopped short when she realized something was off.
Lou didn't move at all from his position despite her bombarding him. He had been seated similarly to Nolan: legs were drawn up to his chest tightly, feet angled inward, arms wrapped around them, and head resting on his knees. She couldn't see his face with the mess of tangled, blond hair draping over his arm. He seemed to have his head laying to the side, facing away from her.
Before Moxy could take a step toward him, Nolan startled her by appearing in front of her path. "You need to get out. He doesn't want to be around anyone. Especially you."
Moxy was taken aback. "Wh--What did I do?"
"Is that a serious question?" Nolan finally let himself bristle as he glared down at her.
Mandy pulled on the pink doll's arm. "Moxy, let's leave. Nolan can handle it from here."
"Handle what?" A new voice sounded behind them. Ox tilted his head at the group from outside the shed. "What are ya'll doin' here? And where's Lou been? I ain't seen 'im in almost a week."
"Huh," Nolan couldn't help but comment wryly as he looked down at Moxy again, "even Ox noticed." Moxy merely shrunk in more guilt. Perhaps she had been a little too blinded by all the smiles and positivity of the other dolls that she neglected to check in on Lou.
Ox ignored the two and stepped inside, seeing the ex-leader curled up in the corner. "Lou? What's wrong?" Nolan couldn't get a word out to tell him to step back before the bunny was in front of the doll. Ox put a paw on Lou's head to try and brush away the hair, but Lou flinched away. "Lou, talk to me."
"He doesn't want to talk," Nolan clarified sharply. "And you guys are making it worse by invading his space."
"I agree," Mandy tugged harder on Moxy's arm. "So, let's give Lou some space, Moxy." The pink doll finally relented and walked out with the Pretty Doll.
Ox didn't move from his spot. He watched Lou's hands clutch at his pants tighter. Was...he really upsetting Lou just by being here? The thought sent a sharp pain through his chest. Nolan's gaze prompted him to finally stand and part ways. He sent one last look to the doll in the corner before walking out of the shed. Nolan made a step toward the doorway until he heard rhythmic tapping from where Lou was. He paused and listened.
Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap
Nolan abandoned the doorway and kneeled in front of Lou. His hand was leaning against the side of the building, tapping. Lou still didn't look up. Nolan pulled out his phone and hit the record. "One more time, Lou, please?"
Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap
The message was translated on the phone. Nolan had first heard the organized tapping a few days ago when Lou was aware of his vigil. It initially sounded like a song that Lou was tapping to the beat of, but the repetition of the taps didn't follow along to a song. It was morse code. Nolan didn't know how or when Lou had learned the cryptic language, but the translator on his phone helped them communicate. Nolan read the result:
Stay.
Just to be sure. "You want me to stay?"
A second of silence.
Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap
Nolan knew that one due to their limited "conversations" between the door. It was 'yes'.
"Okay," Nolan kept his voice soft. "Give me a minute to get them to leave." He stood and leaned out of the doorway. The others were waiting for him. "You guys go on. He wants me to stay."
"He talked to you?" Ox's ears perked up in hope.
"Sorta kinda," Nolan teetered his head with a short glance to Lou in the corner. "I'll text when I'm headed back into town. It might be a while, though, so don't wait up on me."
They hesitated to move, especially Ox. It took some coaxing from Mandy to get him to relent and walk away. Nolan didn't move from the doorway until they had walked far enough from the shed. Satisfied, he closed the door and immersed the shed back into an opaque darkness. He silently sat next to Lou in the same position he'd been in outside. No words were spoken.

Goose, my beloved my bestie, if I want to get into the Fallout universe, where do I start and what do I need to know?? (pls infodump 🥰 I figured an ask post would be easiest so I don’t lose it)
i had to hop onto my laptop to type this out because i already know its going to be long xD
adding a cut so this doesnt take up the entire dash skdjhfskhj
tbh it's pretty hard to play through the series chronologically because it's not really one consistent story: it's a bunch of different stories being told in the same setting. i think the best place to start kind of comes down to which you enjoy most: rpg elements, story, or gameplay.
the older games (like 1 & 2) grant you the most freedom as far as roleplaying goes, but their top-down aspect can be a little off-putting to some people, as well as (at least from personal experience) they're a lot less forgiving than the newer games. your build has to be pretty particular in the beginning if you want to survive combat. even if I'm playing a speech heavy character, i find that i have to tag unarmed/melee skills just to get through the tutorial sequence in the beginning of 2 if i want to survive the intro. a lot of people like them due to their rpg value. it feels like your choices really matter in the wasteland. compared to the later games, they're pretty lax with what they let you do. there's not really a lot of icons on the map telling you where to go or what to do. personally, i need a little more direction when playing a game, but i understand the appeal. out of all of the fallout games, 1 & 2 are probably the ones i have the least hours into out of all of them
fallout 3 and New Vegas are a little clunky with their combat systems but that can be blamed on their age (and probably nv's shorter development time). new vegas and 3 are quite different but im lumping them together because they came out around the same time. new vegas is a cult classic. probably the most (at least openly) loved of all the fallout games, and for good reason. the story felt like old fallout while using the same game engine as the newer one. a lot of the same people who worked on the first two fallouts went to work for obsidian (who developed new vegas) after black isle studios went under so they took a lot of their ideas for the original fallout 3 (which was meant to be another top down one set in California if I'm remembering correctly!) but made it into the 3d rpg style we know today. the combat can feel a little clunky in fnv, but if you want to play a game that has the feeling of "old fallout" with the gameplay of the newer ones, new vegas would be a good place to start
fallout 3 was the first game i got into back when it came out in like 2008 bc my brother had it for his old xbox xD. compared to 4 and new vegas, the capital wasteland is a lot less populated and more barren feeling than other games. supplies and ammo are rarer (assuming you don't know where to look for them) making the game feel like more of a struggle. it makes sense seeing as you start out as a squishy vault dweller who has never seen the wasteland before. story-wise it's pretty good. you can bypass like the first half of the main storyline by just making a beeline to where your dad is in vault 114(?? I'm blanking on the number rn so this might not be the right vault) and avoiding megaton altogether. i don't recommend doing this though because you will miss A LOT of worldbuilding and experience/levels. as far as rpg elements go, you can either be a savior of the wasteland or a real evil bastard depending on what you choose. it feels like you really make a difference for all the settlements/people you decide to help. part of my gripe with this game comes down to the ending. ill avoid spoilers as much as i can just in case you want to play through the game but im not a fan of games you cant continue playing after the ending especially when there's a workaround with one of the companions. overall fallout 3 is pretty enjoyable if you can look past the limitations of the game engine
If you want something that's a lot more forgiving during gameplay, but still feels like the wasteland, I'd start with fallout 4! the combat handles a lot better than 3 & new vegas, but as far as rpg elements go, you're kind of railroaded into the typical good-guy path which i personally don't mind because that tends to be my playstyle in games anyway lmaoooo. fo4 was one of the first "mainstream" fallout games so the story is made to appeal to a more general audience. it's not nearly as dark as the storyline of the earlier games although you can find these more ominous elements tucked away in terminals and environmental storytelling. this game has some of my favorite companions out of the entire series, and fo4 has one of my favorite dlc's out of the entire series which is Far Harbor. if you're into modding your games, the community for fo4 was still pretty active for it even before the show came out. i know a lot of fans of the series have a gripe with the storyline of this game in particular due to it railroading you down a certain path. not to mention, a lot of the actions you make in the commonwealth feel like they don't really change the outcome. however the gameplay is pretty forgiving to someone who hasn't played this series before. your starting stats aren't really the difference between life or death as they give you a lot of room for error. i personally really enjoy the settlement building system and i'd love to see it implemented in later games with tweaks to make it even better. I'm also pretty biased in what i say about fo4 because i have the most hours into it out of any of the other fallout games and it's very near and dear to my heart xD
also slightly related to fallout 4-- if you're looking for a youtuber with some amazing settlement ideas, i really like the creator IfThenCreate who has a whole ongoing series about different settlement builds around the commonwealth. she's very charming and her videos are very cozy and tbh i could listen to her for hours (which i probably actually have because her videos about sanctuary hills are like four hours combined xD). not all of her content is fallout related but at the moment she has probably one of my favorite fallout related series :3
tbh i can't really speak a whole lot about fallout 76. out of all of the games (ignoring tactics and the brotherhood of steel ones) it's probably the game i have the least hours into. as far as gameplay goes, it seems pretty solid. i enjoyed the way they did Appalachia, but I don't think this is the best game to start with if you're just getting into the series. 4 or new vegas is going to be a better place to start imo
if you have amazon prime I'd say start with the show ksdjfkj I've only seen the first two episodes (as of right now at least) but it looks amazing so far. it's the best way to dip your toes into the series without having to commit yourself to tens or hundreds of hours of gameplay xD
also if you get into the games prepare for them to crash. like a lot xD my poor old xbox one could barely handle downtown Boston in fo4 and while it's definitely better on my computer, it still struggles. i also tend to mod my games to hell so that might be part of my problem lmaoaoao. the games can be buggy at times (especially the Bethesda ones) but if you can look past that they're all pretty enjoyable

Wheezy Weasel x Fem!Reader x Greasy Weasel || Oneshot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plot: Inspired by 'Bro Code' by Brantley Gilbert. Reader and Greasy have been growing apart; He's rarely around to spend time with you, which is leaving you to spend a lot more time, alone, with Wheezy, and... feelings start to develop... Wheezy decides to do the respectful thing and warn Greasy about it.
Better show that girl a good time If you don't, it's gon' be goodbye And if you take it for granted You hand her to another man It's a matter of time, bro
It's a matter of time
Now, I know it ain't my business But I gotta insist that if this was somebody else Your deal is already finished because Bro code goes out the window Just be glad it's me lettin' you know, bro
Warnings: Me writing serious romance stuffs for toon gangster weasels. ... Love triangle? XD I'd say its handled pretty well though
"Hey Wheezy!"
"Hey- " You plop down on the couch with him suddenly; Your head in his lap. It honestly surprises him for a moment, the affection - though not unwelcome, - having come out of nowhere and could be interpreted as innapropriate, by some people... considering who you really belonged too around here. "Y/N... "
Giving a little, teasing smile, you dont address the elephant in the room- deciding to rather just move on, fiddling with your fingers above your stomach. "What are you up to, tonight?"
"Smokin'... " Obviously. "Was gonna watch some TV, too. Nothing much- nothing exciting, anyway. What are you doing? Wasn't Greasy taking you out somewhere, tonight?"
At this, the mention of your boyfriend, the bright light flickers out of your pretty eyes a little bit. You look away from his face, a frown tugging at your lips. Wheezy frowns, too, the three cigerettes he was puffing away on held away from his face between two fingers; This can't be good. "Oh! We were... " Your voice is polite, almost cheerful still in a totally fake, forced kind of way. "But, um... I guess we got our signals crossed, or something. I thought I was supposed to meet him here now, but Smarty says Greasy's out doing something for him tonight, so... " Giving little shrug, you force the sadness out of your eyes and take a deep breath. Wheezy's frown only worsens, though. That explains why you look so nice... well, nicer then usual. That seems to be happening damn often, recently, too. "I'm free, now! Was hopin' you might be willing to share your evening, with me?"
... There's a cheeky glint in your eyes that Wheezy can't help grinning back at, shaking his head. "Yeah, sure. Whatcha wanna watch?"
"Oh!" You hop up off his lap and into a sitting position, crossing your legs and picking up the remote- focused on the TV. "I have the best movie in mind. I think its started already, but not too long ago so we should be fine. You'll love it! Promise."
~
"This is the dumbest fucking movie I have ever seen Y/N- " Wheezy's saying, much to your dismay even though you grin- his frustration a source of amusement, to you. He's cute, you decide; His words are biting, but the expression on his face is soft, and relaxed. You like it. You like him- he's a good friend!
"No way!-" Giggling, you shake your head at him.
"Dont you show this to the boss, he'll blow a gasket. Is this supposed to be gang representation? Hell- "
"Its the best kind of gang representation!" You reply, not looking at him as he turns to give you most incredulous look possible. "... makes you guys look so dumb- fella's watchin'll think they can outsmart you and be so much easier to deal with, don'tcha think?"
"Pfft," Wheezy rolls his eyes, but he's grinning; Theres something cute about your theory, there. He's gotta admit. "We gotta deal with enough idiots, don't you be pushing any more on us."
"Hmm," Humming, you lean back into the cushions behind you; Eyes glued to the screen as some 'gangsters' play a game of poker. "Plus, they're all gorgeous... would you say that's misrepresentation, too?"
He scoffs again, shaking his head. "Depends on the gang, doll."
As soon as that slips out of his mouth, he just about has a stroke and freezes to the spot as you just continues to watch the movie, like she didnt hear it. Hanging out with your pal's girl all alone is one thing, even sitting this close to her can be interpreted as a close friendship, but calling her doll?? Thats got to be breaking every damn rule there is about pal's and their ladies. Greasy would lose his damn mind if he heard that, and Wheezy wouldn't really be able to blame him.
Except... you didnt react at all to him using that name with you- for you. As well as the fact that you haven't been seeing much of Greasy, lately. At all. He hasn't been around. And not just for a week, no- you two have been missing eachother for months now, slowly drifting apart. Greasy used to stress out like the damn Queen was coming over to the apartment if he ever had to dissapoint you, the two of you used to be so attached to eachother all the time that it made everyone else sick (And really uncomfortable, at times), you used to hang out in Greasy's room if he wasn't around when he said he would be... But not anymore. For weeks now you've been spending your time with him - Wheezy, - , almost treating him like your boyfriend...
Like a stand-in. But that doesn't mean that when you're together you aren't treating him like him- that you're using him as a place holder for Greasy at all, no- its just... like...
Instead of Greasy getting to spend his nights with your legs in his lap- it's Wheezy. Instead of Greasy getting to make you laugh- it's Wheezy. Instead of Greasy making you smile... its Wheezy.
And he doesn't think he should really have to feel guilty for enjoying it, anymore.
It's time to give Greasy a warning, Wheezy decides as he relaxes back into the cushions to watch the rest of this dumb movie that you like.
If Greasy doesn't buck up, soon, then he's going to let you know that he's throwing his hat into the ring.
~
Greasy's eyes are narrowed after what Wheezy says, disbelief and betrayal written all over his face. "... what, amigo?" His voice is quiet but emotionless, giving Wheezy one chance to take it back, his proclamation. His absurd, ridiculous, traitorous proclamation. If he did, then all would be fine- he would forgive and forget it. You're beautiful, and wonderful... he cant blame the man for falling under your spell for a moment. But if he doesnt-
"You heard me Grease." Intimidation is one of Greasy's favourite tactics- Wheezy's close to him, so he knows that. Plus... you can't really be intimidated by a man after you've heard him singing in the shower. "... I'm just warning you. As it is I'm not gonna do a thing, not unless she makes a move on me, because you're my friend- but if you don't start putting in more of an effort again, stop standin' your girl up... you're gonna lose her. And it might be, to me."
"Hm. Brave, fumador, you're very brave... So, am I to believe you haven't don't anything behind my back?"
"Yes."
... Greasy nods. He believes him- of course he does. Like Wheezy said, they're friends. He knows when he's lying and when he's telling the earnest truth, and besides he trusts him.
... and also- Wheezy isn't the lying type. Never has been. Greasy has never really had to worry about that, with him.
So... that brings him to a different thought. Another issue. One that makes his heart restrict inside his chest. "So then... Y/N... she has been sad? Missing m- "
Wheezy rolls his eyes deeply and groans, his hands in his pockets so he doesnt smack Greasy. "Of course she's been fucken sad, you little freak. She loves you, moron. And you've been everywhere but with her- where you should be." Some 'ladies man', this one. Wheezy thinks. Doesn't even know when he's making the biggest damn mistake of his life.
Sure, it might be Wheezy's gain... this mistake of Greasy's... but he won't take it lightly. This is a fucked up situation they're in, and whoever ends up with her is going to have to live with knowing the other is having to live without.
Greasy's heart squeezes and squeezes... forcing him quiet as thoughts rush through his mind about how bad he feels and how he didn't realise this, his working more lately, would affect her badly... and how if he had then he would have never...
Ugh, he thinks. He wishes he could say he was doing it for more money, to buy her an engagement ring or something... but he was not. Dammit.
... thats a prety good idea actually. Maybe he can still do that-
"What the hell are you two morons doing in my kitchen?" Smartass suddenly appears in the doorway, catching both their attentions with his frustrated tone. Greasy opens his mouth to explain, but their boss is already on it. "What I tell you??? No snacks past 6.30! Dinner's in the damn oven- what do you want from me here?? Damn vultures. What- you can't wait 15 minutes?? Sheesh."
This time Wheezy opens his mouth to explain for them both, but also gets cut off as Smartass pulls on two oven mitts. "And Y/N's just got here. Go bother her for a while, wouldja?? Both of you. Out."
Barely a millisecond passes and Greasy is already out the door, leaving a Greasy-shaped dust cloud behind him as he races to find you. Wheezy takes another moment, sucking in a good long puff of tobacco, before strolling after him.
When he finds you, standing by the billards table with Psycho and Stupid, Greasy's already attached himself to you like a damn leach.
"-so sorry, mi vida... Lo siento, Y/N... All my apologies... I didn't realise that I had been gone so much... " He's trailing kisses all over you- your cheeks, your forehead, down your neck... Psycho scowls at you both, before covering his eyes. Wheezy wishes he could do the same without feeling like a fricken 12 year old. "I mean of course I noticed you were away from me... and I missed you but-... you know? Why don't we go and spend some time- alone?~ " Finally he pulls back, looking you in the eye, a flirtation smirk on his face. "I will be sure to thoroughly make it up to you for my mistakes. Prometo~ "
Giving a giggle at it, you allow yourself to fall right back into familiar patterns, with him; Tucking hair behind your ear and letting your hands fall to his arms as he holds you, and tilting your head to the side. "I don't know~ Why don't we?"
You're just glad he's back.
Wheezy watches Greasy's wolf-like smirk broaden, all sorts of - likely, - depraved shit going in his head, and lean into your ear. He whispers something you that has your eyes widening and your fingers tightening onto his suit.
... you look cute as hell, but Wheezy would rather not know what it was that had that affect on you. Or at least not until he can figure it out himself.
Then Greasy's disconnecting from you, pressing one final lasting kiss onto your cheek, before heading to his room. You would follow in a moment, absolutely, but you're just reeling for a moment from how he went from 0 to 100 all of a sudden.
... woof. You give a smile, shaking your head. Whatever it was, you aren't about to question it. When you notice Wheezy standing in the doorway, smoking to himself, you catch his gaze and give a bright grin. He's back, you mouth, pleased.
He nods, blowing smoke. Yep... "Sure is."
Approaching him, you hold your arms behind your back and stand just beside him; Watching the Psycho and Stupid play billiards while Wheezy watches you. "I wonder what knocked some sense into him?... or who???" You ask, twisting in place and carefully peering up at him.
Immediatly he looks away, taking a draw from a cigerette. "Oh- don't give me the credit. It was allll him."
Without really thinking, you throw your arms around Wheezy; Giving him what was supposed to be a quick, warm hug. Of thanks.
But then he wraps his arms around you too, and you pull back not far... just enough to look at eachother and for a split moment, with both your heads slightly at an angle and your breath on eachothers lips you stay there; Inches apart and hearts beating erratically inside chests.
Something changed in the few seconds you were hugging him. The way you looked at him all of a sudden was different, like- realisation. Then surprise.
Then horror.
Quickly you wipe the wide-eyed look off your face and cautiously let go of Wheezy, stepping back. Theres a heat in your cheeks betraying you. Wheezy- you think, an odd and terrifying mix of shock and something really lovely and warm swarming inside your chest. Tall, laid back, sexy, comfortable... Wheezy.
You must look at him for too long, because he reaches out to grab your hand. "Y/N? Are you- "
Quickly you yank your hand out of jis reagh, surprising him. "Um- I'm fine! Yeah, I just- Greasy. I gotta go to Greasy. So- um- yeah. Uh, bye!"
Then you flash a awkward smile, to comfort him and show everything is alright, then rush up the stairs to Greasy's room.

<333 4, 8, 14, 18, 22, 35, 46, 58, 74 for the ask game pls!!
thank you mayaaaa <333
4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?
Everywhere! Fics and books I've read, random song lyrics (whether the rest of the song fits or not), random posts on tumblr, images, posts on twitter, prompt lists, prompt blogs, etc. etc.
8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?
Vastly depends on the story. I've had fics where I've had the beginning and ending figured out, but the middle is a mystery. I've also had fics where the middle was a breeze but the beginning and ending were both like pulling teeth!
I will say I tend to enjoy middles more on shorter fics (uhh, less than 15k) and beginnings & endings more on longform stuff!
14. how do you write emotional scenes? Do you ever feel what the characters feel? Do you draw from personal experiences?
I try to put myself in the character's shoes as much as possible! Figure out what emotion(s) they're feeling and then draw on my own experiences with it, lol. Especially if I can feel it a bit myself <3
18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?
Yes.
Sometimes the fic title is the thing that inspired the idea, like when I'm inspired by a lyric. Sometimes it just comes to me in the planning process.
Sometimes a fic title comes to me during the writing process. I'll write a line that just seems to capture the core of what I'm going for, and use that or something like it for the title!
A lot of times I end up titling the fic after, though. I'll scroll through the song lyrics I have saved for potential titles, just in case one fits. I'll look up songs that may have the theme or a similar vibe to what I'm gong for. I'll read through the fic looking for a line. I'll summarize it, try to capture the vibe. It can take a bit!! But I get there eventually. After a lot of whining :P
22. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)
Speaking specifically for fanfic!
Probs won't ever write first person again. It's not something I vibe with in fic, it's hit or miss for me in published fiction too, and it's just... Not a style I like?
Omniscient POV. When I try it it feels too much like head hopping to me, so xD
Can't see myself writing cheating or hard non-con. Dubcon, yeah; gentle nc especially if its nc-to-c, but not anything harder. I will do comfort after, though!! Hmm... Detailed torture scenes or anything gory bc that squicks me out a little lol ^^;
I can think of a few others but I think that's good for now xD
35. What is one essential thing to remember when writing a villain?
Good question.
Honestly, I haven't written them in fic a lot? But when I do, I generally try to keep in mind their motivations and like... reasons for doing what they do.
46. How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)
Hmm... Character or emotion driven!
58. What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? (Brainstorming, outlining, writing, editing, etc)
Hmm, I mean, all of them at various points! I guess I'll give brainstorming the top slot because I just have... so many ideas. Therefore I must enjoy coming up with them 😂😂😂
Although nothing compares to writing when it's flowing!!
74. You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?
Does it feature two characters taking care of each other? A lot of focus on trust and vulnerability and willingly offering up the softer parts of yourself? Is there an overuse of "x says"? Can you tell fic was fighting not to be overrun with em-dashes? It's probably a Tauria fic :P

How would the boys react to their S/O wearing socks and goes down the stairs only to slip, land on their rear, and slide down the stairs until they reached the bottom? They’re okay, just shocked and with a bruised bum. This may or may not have happened to me and the only witness was my cousin’s Great Dane. Stairs hurt, man… XD
Ooo this one was fun to write.
Sans: He would watch, tilting his head to the side then snort, putting his hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing "Hey Y/n, sorry to be a pain in the butt, but are you feelin' okay? Seems like you had a pretty bad bum…p" he winks, in a teasing tone, laughing. He would take care of you if you hurt yourself, and helps you over to the couch but he's pretty sure that nothing bad happened, luckily. He tells you to be more careful.
Papyrus: "Ah, Y/n!" he rushes over, helping you stand up and checks you out, "Are you okay? What happened?" when you laugh, telling him that you're okay, just hurt your butt he's going to huff "Y/n! You need to be more careful! You could have hurt yourself. Well no fear for I, the great Papyrus, is here to make sure that you do not get hurt by the stairs! Don't worry, my brother has done the same thing before when he fell asleep on the stairs" he walks over, after lifting you up, placing you down onto the couch.
Red: He would just burst out laughing, "Ha! I hate to be an ass but if I knew you were gonna fall that easily, I wouldn't have been scared to ask you out earlier, Y/n" he says between his laughter, shaking his head. He could tell that you weren't hurt, you didn't take damage from that fall other than just one point, so he wasn't too nervous about you hurting yourself. If you're upset at him for laughing, he would try to make it up to you but… come on, it is funny.
Edge: He would hum when he saw you sliding down the stairs, his eyes slowly going down, then sighs shaking his head at you "Y/n… must you always do something strange?" he walks over, helping you get up "Are you alright?" when you tell him that you were fine, just shocked and your butt hurts, he hums shaking his head and nudges his skull against your head. "Be more careful" at least you weren't hurt. He isn't the most loving guy but you could tell he was worried.
Lord: He told you to be careful when you were walking down the stairs, then you started to walk down and dance a little to show that you were fine. Then you were falling, and he was crossing his arms waiting at the bottome. He looks down at you, raising his eyebrow "Did you really think that that was a good idea, Y/n? Really?" you stick your tongue out at him, so he chuckles shaking his head, and helps you up muttering to himself, calling you a cute idiot.
Mutt: Mutt would gasp, then hop up, and run over to where you were crouching down "Y/n! Are you okay?" At least you weren't dead, and they could tell that you didn't lose too much HP because of your soul but still, worrying! When you explain that you're okay, just your butt hurt they sigh happily, then giggle poking your cheek "you're dumb," they say. They're just teasing, don't worry. Hey, at least they made sure you were okay before teasing you.
Hound: You wouldn't even fall down that far. Hound hears the sound first, and would grab you with their magic, staring at you tilting their head to the side. "Are you okay?" They bring you over to them, holding you in their arms and walk over to set you down on the couch. They only caught you after you slid down half the stairs… "Yeah, I'm okay, thank you" when you nuzzle them, they let out a soft coo, petting the top of your head. "be careful next time…" they mumble, pulling their fingers through your hair.
Lover: Lover would perk up, seeing you on the ground like that and rush over "Y/n!" he helps you stand up, starting to check you over quickly "Are you okay? What happened?" when you explain what happened, he'd blink then giggle turn his head away shaking his head, muttering under his breath. He leans over, kissing your cheek mumbling, "Be more careful next time, you silly little weirdo" he's going to tease you about this later.
Heartbreak: He pauses when he heard the sound of clatters, and pokes his head in to see you on the ground near the bottom of the stairs, looking confused "You okay?" when you said that you were, just hurt butt, he nods a little and walks over to help you up, letting you lean on him and he brings you over to the touch, "you need to be more careful, Y/n" you could tell that he seemed a little uncomfortable with the touching but hey, at least he does it for you… that's kinda cute.

I had some stuff happen in dreams in a way that made me forget most things again.
So I'm gonna do what I did yesterday. That was funny.
City in the horizon being exploded. I said "they're fighting with kaboom-booms over there". Then a plane dropping nukes comes overhead. As one is falling above me, I look up, saying casually "ah. That's wack." before it hit and I woke up. (I'm so whimsical that might honestly be how I would be reacting irl if it happened. What silly last words that would be)
A fancy masquerade party on a rich dude's yacht or something. Hop was there somewhere. There was some kind of intense drama and I think Hop started it. I don’t remember what kind of drama it was
Crispin was definitely in my dreams again. I remember he was there, even if there aren't details and stuff. Probably was in the masquerade party dream. Getting the feeling he was just as involved in the drama as Hop was.
Scrooge McDuck and two of the duck triplets (ducktales) were swimming in the styx river.
Was frustrated that my Tauros kept evolving into Mamoswine instead of Shuckle. (Huh?)
Kept looking for Ryuki. Couldn't find him. Because I was playing minecraft instead of pokemon. Bruh what XD
Anyhoo.
More on the Crispin thing. While I was taking a shower, my mind began wandering.
I was thinking stuff like
"Why is Crispin just lurking in the background like that? Does he want to be one of my imaginary friends and is just too nervous to come ask?"
But then I realized
"Wait. I've hung out with Crispin on friendly terms in dreams a few times before. As far as I'm concerned he's already one of my imaginary friends."
And then as my mind was wandering I was thinking "oh maybe he wants something and is too nervous to ask" and then I thought such a wildly unique sentence.
"Watchu want, bestie? I'll come right to sleep and help you."
And okay. 2 things about this.
1. I can't just fall right to sleep.
2. That belongs on that reddit thing uhhhh r/brandnewsentence I think it's called.
But anyhoo. These dream situations are wild

Soni world hopping into other Pokemon AUs was interesting to think and daydream about. But now I'm kind of curious if Phoebe and her Pokemon were transported to Soni's Twisted Wonderland before even going to Twst herself.
Being from Johto, Soni might appreciate the fact that someone from the home region is here to keep her company.
Also someone can relate about Pokemon stuff. Heck, maybe even share memes only people from the Pokemon world would get while the boys are confused as to what they're giggling about.
If the TWST boys ever freak out because another Pokemon trainer was mysteriously summoned again.
Phoebe is more of a neutral sort, she can't threaten Crowley with a baseball bat but she can deliver verbal punches unexpectedly without even meaning to.
Crowley: Miss, if you need any help, I thought you'd consult me instead of the professor...
Phoebe: *Looks between Trein and Crowley* Oh, I thought HE was the headmaster, my mistake...
Crowley: *Hears ego shattering*
Also I bet she just has tea while Soni wrecks Crowley for pushing responsibility towards her again. XD
Also since Soni's twst universe has wild Pokemon appearing, at some point them pokeball smithing skills could come in handy.
Phoebe starts to brandish her skills with a casual face as if this was just the norm.
Also, Phoebe meeting the boys in Soni's Twstverse would probably go like this...
Phoebe: hello...
Boys: just a normal kid- !?
Phoebe: *casually brushing dirt off her Steelix in the yard*
Boys: ajsjj... what- huh..!?!?
sorry if this feels kind of spam-ish.
Oooh, Phoebe going to Soni's world is interesting 👀
While Soni looks Johtonese, she's from Kalos- born and raised there. This sort of thing happens all the time though, so Soni's not gonna be surprised by it if someone thinks that way.
She'll definitely be more surprised by the other Pokemon Trainer who appeared one day.
I love the idea of Soni having time to talk with someone from her homeworld. The memes that they would share- 😂 They would go, "It's an inside joke/meme!" and then just go on with their day.
At the same time, she's slow to interact at first because of her reputation back home and how most don't like to talk to her. So, when she sees Phoebe being cheerful and open without prejudice, Soni would open up a little more if only because the level of expectations and decorum are nonexistent in TWST, one of the few good things that Soni learned about when she first came here.
Phoebe giving those straight punches to Crowley's ego will always be satisfying. Also, her casually showing off her Pokeball-making skills when everyone else thought Phoebe was a normal Trainer is amazing.
Kinda like Phoebe just sticks her hand in her pocket and shows off the tools that she keeps on hand while sparkles are in the background- that level of "Oh, you need a hand? I'm here"
The TWST boys see Phoebe and went through the levels of disbelief, confusion, realization, and even more confusion all at once when the Pokemon shows up alkdsjfkljs
On a random note, Phoebe petting her Steelix makes me think of someone petting a metal cat and I find that cute-
Another one that popped up is Furret sitting on top of Steelix's head and just sunbathing up there, and I just wanted to share that image with you.
Ah, it's alright to send things like this! Don't worry, I like these sorts of things! It's a lot of fun to see what could happen in What Ifs like this!
