“You’re going to blow out your arms,” the villain observed. They watched as the hero merely grit their teeth, shoving themself through another pull-up. It looked painful, and if the sweat slicking the hero’s brow was any indication, it was.
They waited for the hero to let themself drop from the bar and accept the villain was stronger. But they didn’t.
Three more pull-ups, and the villain stepped in.
“Hero,” they said slowly. “You’re about to tear the ligaments in your arms. You need to stop.”
The hero blew out a shuddering breath. Struggled for purchase, fighting gravity—and let themself drop.
The hero’s hands were bleeding, calluses torn open by the bar. The hero didn’t seem bothered when their own hands shook so much that their blood began to splatter on the gym floor.
For a moment, the villain could only stare at them.
Shit.
They didn’t know how to handle this. They knew the hero was dedicated. They knew the hero was strong, and perpetually trying to be stronger, but they hadn’t thought…
They hadn’t thought the hero would be so willing to tear apart their own body for success.
It was supposed to be fun, the villain thought. They felt a little sick as the hero pressed their palms together to soothe the bleeding, an action that was practiced and familiar. As if they had done this before.
The hero reached for something in their bag, smearing blood on the side, and pulled out a roll of blue electrical tape. The villain didn’t understand why, until the hero tore a strip off and made to wrap their hands with it.
The hero would be the death of them.
They crouched in front of the hero, plucking the electrical tape out of their hands.
“What are you doing with this?”
The hero blinked at the villain like they were the strange one in this situation.
“Wrapping my hands?”
The villain hissed in a breath.
“With electrical tape?”
The hero flushed slightly, looking down at their bloody hands. They looked close to tears.
“It…sticks to skin, really well. And it doesn’t move, either, when you move your hands or wherever else, even if you’re fighting. Plus, blood doesn’t make it come off, at least, not for a while.”
The villain blinked at them.”
“Blood doesn’t make it come off,” the villain repeated, processing. The hero nodded, reaching for the electrical tape. The villain settled it out of reach.
“Not if you wrap it right.”
Dimly, the villain realized that meant the hero had done this enough times to have it down to a science.
“And you couldn’t use a bandaid?” The villain asked incredulously. The hero shrugged a shoulder, then winced at the motion.
Yeah, the hero had absolutely blown out their arms.
“Bandaids move—“
The villain hushed them.
“Be quiet for a second.”
The hero, wisely, went quiet.
The villain rubbed a hand over their face, then studied the hero for a moment. They took one of the hero’s hands into their own, studying the damage.
“Why did you do this to yourself,” the villain murmured.
“What do you mean, why,” the hero snapped. “It’s my job.”
“Your job is to save people,” the villain corrected. “Not destroy yourself.”
“I’m not destroying myself—“
“You are.”
“Shut up—“
“Hero.”
“I need to be better,” the hero snapped. Their voice rang out across the gym, echoing into the rafters, and they both froze. After a moment, the hero spoke again, voice soft. “I need to be better.”
They said it like they needed the villain to understand. The villain wondered who they were really saying it to—the villain, or themself.
“Better than who?”
“Everyone.” It was hushed, like a secret.
The villain watched them, waiting.
The hero took a shaky breath
“My whole thing is being the best. I have always been the best. That’s the only reason I matter. If I’m not strong enough, then I am nothing, so I need. to be. better.”
The hero had started crying, very quietly, like they were afraid to take up too much space.
The villain was not equipped to handle gifted kid burnout.
“There’s more to you than just being a good athlete,” the villain said hesitantly, and the hero shook their head.
“No. There isn’t.”
“Hero.”
“Can you give me back my electrical tape?” They hiccuped to contain a sob.
“No,” the villain said firmly, and then the hero really was sobbing.
“You don’t understand—“
The villain didn’t. Not really. They had never been the kind of talented that the hero was.
They wondered now if maybe that was a blessing.
“I don’t,” the villain agreed. “But I do understand that you’ve saved half the city, and you give everything you have to give, and you always do your best.”
“But I-“
“No.” The villain stopped them. “You are doing your best.” They tipped the hero’s chin up until they met the villain’s eyes. “And it is enough.”
The hero froze, eyes darting over the villain’s face. They wondered if anyone had ever said that to the hero, if whatever mentor they had was giving them anything other than orders to be stronger. Be better. Be more.
The villain had some new targets to take care of, it would seem.
For now, though, they had to take care of hero.
“We’re going to go wrap your hands,” they said softly. “And then we’re going to take care of your arms, and you’re going to take a nap.”
The hero nodded, watching them like they were some kind of good, selfless person.
“And if I ever catch you using electrical tape again, so help me, I will put you six feet under.”
That startled a laugh out of the hero, and they let the villain guide them to their feet.
“Fine.”
The villain turned to them. “Okay?”
Are you going to be alright?
The hero seemed to understand.
“Okay,” the hero agreed.
Yes.
And so, it was.
#writing#writing community#snippet#angst#heroes and villains#ficlet#writblr#hero/villain#hero whumpee#exhaustion#overworked#villain caretaker#whump#kind of#in case you’re wondering. yes you CAN do this to yourself. it’s completely possible#essentially what happens is if you do a motion (a pull-up) more than your body is capable#it gets mad. this is different from training till failure. this is to failure and then beyond#so while you started using the correct muscle groups you those muscles get tired and despite the tired you don’t stop#so then your body switches to muscles it SHOULDNT BE USINF and then you fuck up your elbows (in the case of pull-ups)#and then you can’t straighten your arms for a week bc the ligaments and tendons and all the little movement parts want to keep it curled in#I’m not a doctor#I’m just a gifted kid who was an athlete who got burnt out and destroyed her body lmao#this is possibly maybe based on true events that occurred#anyways. I’m not a doctor but you can use electrical tape on wounds. yes it sticks. yes it stays. it’s honestly very useful.#electrical tape > bandaids#do not do anything listed here it is BAD. do not blow out your muscles it hurts. properly clean ur injuries. I beg you.#don’t get injured at all#thank you to my friend who went “pull-up’ competition and then watched me create this angst#love u besties. drink water. go to sleep. summon demons. ❤️ self care

Open, non-exhaustive list of content I would read/watch in a heartbeat about the political situation in Rexxentrum post-Solstice:
One-shot or mini-arc of the Nein going full National Treasure level heist on the Cerberus Assembly records management department before a Ludinus simulacrum can reach the burn boxes
Faux Trump aide exposé-style novel of Athesias Uludan compiling and publishing The Dirt in the aftermath as part of his apology/comeback tour
Colville-run Dirty Dozen one-shot or EXU of Oliver Schreiber dragging some particularly unruly ex-Scourgers out of semi-retirement (read: house arrest) to take Ludinus out once and for all in exchange for full indemnity
Found documents a la Midst appendices of the Cobalt Soul documentation and evidence compiled about the incident
The Archmage: An Autobiography by Martinet Ludinus Da'leth (discovered and published posthumously) [1500 pages and riddled with exaggeration and inaccuracies, the last 20% has clearly been written by AI a simulacrum]
Lorekeeper rundown Youtube video from Dani Carr
Yet another novel: Wildemount's most (in)famous and (un)reliable documentarian smelled a story (Taryon's version)
Literally just a main campaign episode of the Nein infodumping to Allura at a war council meeting with the Hells present. I need this information so badly. I am fucking begging.
This sounds like it runs the gamut in level in terms of seriousness but I would like it stated for the record that I would unhinge my jaw to consume any item on this list.
#why do people run to creators for ship vindication when they COULD be out here asking for the most niche worldbuilding content#if there's one thing we learned from the midst ama it's that the people want the DEETS (about mundane civil processes and politics)#critical role#anyway lmao please note that i WILL write that athesias fic if I have to but that's just SPECULATIVE I want the DEETS#EVEN IF A LIAR IS RECOUNTING THEM I WANNA KNOW#anyway what you can really deduce from this list is that I want more CR novels of the most niche shit. will I get them? unlikely. alas.#I will continue to bang my pots and pans about it and write my silly fics regardless

I think something cool about modern fnaf is that- unlike other indie horrors (Bendy, Poppy Playtime, Indigo Park, etc etc)- the big corporation behind everything isn't. Personal? If that makes sense?
All of the listed games have faces to their companies, people who give speeches and are like the face of the company beside the mascot- they make the experience kind of. Personal. Hearing the dreams and wishes of the person behind the evil and explaining why they do what they do (or at least what they want you to think the motives are)
Modern Fnaf doesn't really have that- William and Henry are dead and we don't know who the new CEO of Faz Ent is. It's cold and corporate behind the colorful mascots. We know nothing about the goals of the owner/CEO, who they are, why they inherited/got ownership the company- we just know the colorful faces hiding whatever they're doing behind closed doors.
#Chip Chatter#does this make. ANY sense?#idk hopefully it does lmao#there's nothing wrong with having a face of the company/vocal owner/etc btw- I've got nothing against the listed games for doing that#I just think it's neat that modern fnaf doesn't really do that#it's so cold- they want you to focus on Freddy and his friends- not the corporation behind it#unless they're making fun of themselves that is

so um... i found a pose reference that gave me big vanishay vibes, but then i got carried away then tried to turn it into a lore moment for some reason? 😭
i don’t totally like how his arm looks plus i couldn’t get him low enough because the height difference was making it a really awkward angle, but that’s what i get for copying the anime style again... it’s janky but close enough lmao
full disclosure vanilla's bangs and face are heavily referenced bc they were giving me the most grief to copy, no thanks to all those damn little LINES.
reference + transparent vers. under the cut!

top 5 dihua moments
HELLO ohhh goddd if i really really really have to pick... I'LL TRY (in tears)
in chronological order of the episodes:
(1) “你这个人最大的弱点就是喜欢当英雄。一个剑客不该有弱点。” your greatest weakness is that you like being a hero. a swordsman should be without weaknesses. (ep 1)
i'm as in love with the entire donghai scene as much as the next person but this dialogue is particularly special to me. so it was the first one i pinned down for this list. no hesitation. :)
it's a cornerstone of dihua's relationship; the thesis of lxy/llh's and their joint narrative. it prompts the deconstruction of the staple wuxia ideas of 侠 xia and heroism - which is what i really love lhl for. and dfs being the one to deliver this incredibly crucial and significant line is 10/10. he knew lxy even better than lxy did. he is the bearer and catalyst of lhl's story, lxy/llh's story.
"your greatest weakness is that you like being a hero. a swordsman should be without weaknesses." so what does it even mean to be a hero. is it more important to be a hero than being human. and i will become human. i am human and always have been. and i have weaknesses - i cannot win against fate, i am dying. but what ever is even wrong with being weak? being human is to have weaknesses. so i guess it's no wonder for the narrative to come in a full circle with dfs coming in possession of a weakness and be trapped in it. no longer the killer of di fortress. he's just a human being.
and llh bringing this up again in ep 11 feels to me that he had been carrying these words with him over the past 10 years. bicha and the battle have transformed him physically. but i like to think that dfs's words had an important role to play in an even deeper level of change.
all it took was this one scene to sell to me that this would probably be the kind of narrative i love.
(2) reunion in the woods (ep 8)
it's just so fucking good like literally every dihua scene. who doesn't love a good post-divorce first meeting scene. there's just a lot to chew on. most of all, llh just had to keep reminding dfs how well he knew dfs. we know the moon has always been this bright, alright. AND they were threatening each other. very sexy of them.
(3) whatever the heck was going between them in cailianzhuang arc (ep 11)
truly nothing brings out old married couple + parents vibes better than an inquisitive boy accusing you two of being up to something secretive behind his back. both their guilty expressions. :3 also dfs being the first person huahua goes to when he doesn't want to be alone. huahua being exceptionally chatty around dfs and dfs has no problem entertaining him. :3 they're totally on the same wavelength without having to say anything to each other and this arc brings it out so well.
(4) 腊月二十七 donghai anniversary wedding night (ep 38)
this is the last one i came up for the list after fighting a whole war in my mind over which 5 of the 100000 beloved scenes to pick. hate being predictable but. you just HAVE to give it to it. how do you NOT pick this for a top 5. all the 10 million other top 5 dihua scenes just had to make space for the anniversary scene. :'(
if i had to be even more specific, i think the scene of them in bed most likely takes the cake for me. llh literally saved dfs's life and helped him to become the stronger person he has always wanted to be. and perhaps no other moment exhibits the complementary yin and yang nature of their powers/energies in a more illustrative and palpable way. undershirts in bed just hits different from being fully clothed and one person literally having to keep the other person alive by touch...and this time it's llh for dfs despite the whole time it's dfs who was dedicated to keep llh alive. they have no lack of scenes that exhibit how in sync they are intellectually, and this is peak physical intimacy and tenderness, added with a brush with death/mortality yeah...
(5) llh/lxy's farewell to dfs (ep 40)
playing cheat here by combining two different moments :) but they are essentially connected. llh/lxy had to leave. and since it really had to be that way, i'm glad dfs was on his mind until the very end. what more can one ask for. there is really nothing more dear and tender in the world to be thought of
-
tl;dr: /blows kisses to every dihua moment
#anon idk why u did this to me but i love you. and thank you for the ask <3 my head exploded from doing the curation exercise <3#i also have a couple of other specific scenes i wanted to call out but there's just no more room sighs#idk my answers are leaning mostly to the earlier arcs also bc those are the ones ive been rewatching most lately.#come back in 2 months maybe lmao. repeat until every dihua scene is listed lol#莲花楼#mysterious lotus casebook#lhl#dihua#my posts#asks#anon#lhlmeta

Baldur's Gate 3 Fic Prompts
Prompt fills always give me a quick shot of inspiration, so why not? There's not a lot of general prompt lists out there for this fandom - at least that I can find - so be the change you wish to see and all that.
You can send in a ship or platonic pair along with the letter and number for the corresponding prompt that you want to see (e.g., "Shadowheart/Karlach B5") and I'll write a ficlet! These are meant to be largely rating agnostic.
If you have multiple prompts, please send them in separate asks! It makes keeping track of everything so much easier 💜
A. Fluff & Comedy
Non-sexual physical intimacy
Cooking together
Building something together
Teaching one another their language(s)
Character A gushes about their favorite book with Character B
Gift giving
Bickering/arguing over the party's magic item distribution
Playing a game of cards and one of them gets very competitive
Celebrating one character's firstmorn (birthday!)
First post-canon date
B. Hurt/Comfort
Resurrection hurt/comfort
Scars
Crying
Breakdown and comfort
A character that isn't used to being protected finds someone who will protect them from anything
After being separated from the party, Character A carries a wounded Character B to safety
Character A has a vivid nightmare and Character B comforts them
Non-sexual assisted bathing due to injuries/sickness
Convinced that their past makes them irredeemable, Character A struggles with Character B's affections
Character A suffers from low self-esteem and Character B vocally or physically adores them
C. Angst
Lifespan differences (e.g., Character A is an elf and Character B is a tiefling)
Mutual pining
Unrequited love/attraction
Tired of fighting
Fear of abandonment
Fear of acceptance
Permanent character death (no resurrections, no revivify)
Character A forgets everything about Character B and the relationship they have due to memory loss, mind control, or any other devious plot device the writer devises
Character A believes that Character B doesn't truly love them/care about them at all (resolution up to the writer)
Character A kills Character B
D. Action/Adventure
Catching a spy in camp
Trying to get a better reward for a quest
Exploring a dungeon together
Sneaking into a location together (literal stealth, disguises, etc.)
A desperate escape from an unwinnable situation
Attacked at camp while on watch together
Scouting ahead together
Last two standing in a fight
Stranded on another plane
Character A is magically incapacitated (petrified, mazed, etc.) and Character B is the only one that can help them
E. Miscellaneous Scenarios
Tadpoles sharing thoughts that shouldn't be shared
Discussing their Dream Visitors
A clash over differences in deities
A magical mishap with a scroll, potion, or wand
The first night at camp in the Shadow-Cursed Lands
Character A considers consuming a Mind Flayer Parasite or the Astral-Touched Tadpole, and Character B sways their decision one way or another
While relaxing at camp, Character A begins to suspect that Character B is Orin in disguise
The first morning/day/night in Baldur's Gate after the conclusion of the Absolute Crisis
Character A is considering a devil's deal or a hag's bargain, and Character B convinces them one way or another
One of the characters draws from the Deck of Many Things
#Not tagging this but I'm keeping reblogs on so if you want to use this yourself then please feel free to do so w/ a reblog#I spent so long looking for a fitting prompt list and frankly I hit a point where I just had to take matters into my own hands lmao#so here we are - me spending breaks trying to think of interesting and fun prompts for these categories

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
*as i said, i'm doing this as i catch up on work and so i will be breaking both rules myself, but for whoever else i tag that wants them! 😂 i will also be breaking the third unofficial rule because i have more WIPs than just kinnporsche, but. idk. i might put a few at the end, but some require a lot of context to explain and meh
ANYWAYS:
idiots & idioms (series):
--[pot stirring] (vegas youtube)
--[worms???] (series finale)
talk shit, get hit (series):
--porsche coda
--kimchay joongle
--[king's knight]
fake omegaverse
heart burdened
Insatiable (*cw: incest)
Single Star Review
The Lives of Mr. Gold (*gone fishing fic off-shoot)
timeloop
Your Presence Surrounds

Maladaptive daydreaming.
#daydreaming#maladaptive daydreaming#maladapting daydreaming disorder#maladaptive behaviors#maladaptive coping#dissociation#immersive daydreaming#dimond speaks#yeah so adding this to my list here lol#my therapist helped me realize i dissociate a LOT and the primary way i do it is through vivid daydreams#they usually happen at work but they also pop up if i'm having a bad day or... anytime really.#i've also come to the realization that i have at least one of these a day which is not good fgsjh#my therapist says they're not inherently bad especially since they do have a positive effect on my emotions (if its a good daydream)#but it's gotten to the point that it's affecting the way i work#and they can last for a LONG time too#i haven't timed them but i do know they've been over 30 minutes at work before#this is either due to ADHD autism PTSD or a mixture of the three lmao#weeeee#anyway. this post isn't really intended to be a vent post#it's more like a 'this is my experience' type post#it just kinda comes across as somewhat vent-y#but that was because i wanted to try and immerse the reader into what its like to have these daydreams#like mine look NOTHING like this but making it more generic would help others understand it#the void is the general dissociation from reality#then you emerge in the dream#i can feel things as if i'm there- the sun the wind and sometimes even physical touch#and i'll stay there until something snaps me out#strangely i can get my work done while i'm doing this- i just wont have any memory of doing so. it's like being on autopilot#anyway. I hope this post was helpful to someone out there#if you also maladaptive daydream YOU ARE NOT ALONE! it's valid and you're not 'faking' anything. it's a genuine trauma response.

I don't see a whole lot of fanmission discussion on here, which is a bummer considering they're such a huge part of the classic Thief community and why it's endured so long. With some of the Black Parade hype recently, I think now is the perfect time for this- here's my personal list of TDP/TMA fanmission recs! Not in any particular order (aside from the first 3-5 or so for each game, which are my personal all-time favorites) these are just taken from my highest rated fanmissions in FMSel. Each one links to a Thief Guild page where you can find the mission briefing, screenshots, and downloads.
Thief Gold:
Ascend the Dim Valley
Endless Rain
Rose Garden
The Scarlet Cascabel
The Black Parade
Catacombs of Knoss
Alcazar
Chalice of Souls
Making a Profit
The Sound of a Burrick in a Room
Whispers Below the Cobblestone
Between These Dark Walls
Dirty Money
Falling, In Love
Autumn in Lampfire Hills
Thief 2:
Compulsory Egress
Into the Odd
Bad Debts, and its sequel Disorientation (part of the Talbot series by Melan, along with TG FM Rose Garden)
The Violent End of Duncan Malveine
Feast of Pilgrims
Ominous Bequest, and its sequel Broken Triad
Rose Cottage
Behind Closed Doors
The Turning of the Leaves
King Abedzen's Tomb
Legacy of Knoss (sequel to TG FM Catacombs of Knoss)
The Ties That Bind (the first FM I recall ever playing and, imo, a cute introduction to FMs as a whole)
Old Habits and Dead Wives
Vanishing Point
All For a Night's Sleep
The Last Lighthouse Keeper
Cracks in the Glass
Bloodmist Tower
Finals at the Academy
Heist at Hilbert's Highrise Hotel
The Sun Within and the Sun Without
Malazar's Inscrutable Tower
Ravensreach
Coaxing the Spirit
Keyhunt
Here's a TTLG thread on how to set up both games for playing FMs. I personally don't use any fancy loaders, FMSel will be what you get by default, it works perfect and is all you need. TTLG overall is just a great place to be, it's good for FM hints/walkthroughs/recs and general Thief/Looking Glass discussion.
Ideally you have T2Fix already installed, but for setting your game up for FMs, you should do a quick reinstall and make sure that two options are ticked: common script modules, and T2FMDML. T2FMDML is a collection of fixes for Thief 2 FMs that wouldn't otherwise play nice with NewDark, and the scripts as I understand are for FMs that need them but either come packaged with older versions or without the scripts at all- there's a lot of older FMs out there that will be broken for you if you don't have both installed. You can just rerun the T2Fix installer for this, you don't need to reinstall the game or anything.
Thief Guild is where all the links lead, and it's a great site for finding FMs. You can filter by genre (city, thieves' highway, cathedral, etc.) or look through the usermade collections- for a start, I'd recommend looking at the collections specifically to find classic/early FMs, a category that I know I'm not hitting on much in my list here but is definitely worth checking out if you're at all interested.
Bonus Dark Mod rec: The Dark Mod is a fanmade, free, Thief-inspired stealth game. I haven't played nearly as many missions for it as I have for Thief, but it's still absolutely worth checking out to see if it clicks for you. If you only play one TDM mission, though, my personal rec is Iris.
If you have any, add on with your own FM recs also! Feel free to send asks or dms about anything FM-related, as well ^^ I'm always looking for more to check out, and always open to talk about them if anyone wants.
#thief the dark project#thief the metal age#thief gold#hi if you saw the first list i just prettied it up and added individual links/a few more related links#hopefully posts with links aren't still being hidden in tags because wow is this one loaded with them#if any of them are incorrect lmk and ill fix it it was just. So many to do#enough people were interested in the original list that it makes me think this might be a Thing people want and not just like#me giving my unsolicited opinions in the main tags#if that's how it comes off then Oh well LMAO#ive played. many more fms than this list and i could have kept going but i wanted to keep it to ones i really loved or found memorable#or fun or a good introduction to fms in general#if you're playing fms for the first time hi have fun you've got So much more thief ahead of you. there's so much out there and it's a blast

was checking our ur etsy and came here to find the missing tipjar lore and (if u will forgive me for making an entirely unasked for suggestion) maybe u could bypass the rules by having a digital download tipjar ? like for $5 we get a thank you png or something !! would love to support u on top of getting some more prints .
that's exactly what the old tipjar was!! It was a digital download, if you bought the "Tip" listing you could download a pic w a thank-you note that has pics of Jorah and Toby in it.
Etsy wasn't mad that I wasn't offering something on the listing- bc I was offering a bespoke Cat Image - but just the fact that it was meant to be a tip in the first place. I think it was a keyword thing. they said they don't allow, quote:
Listings created solely for the purpose of transferring money, including collecting “tips”, “gratuities”, “donations”, or other types of “crowdfunding”.
#SO TIP JAR CANNOT BE lmao#also thank you for caring enough to Want To Tip!!! that's really nice of you!#actually it's just really nice that ppl did genuinely USE that listing when it was live on my shop.#when/if I ever make my own store that is not hosted on etsy I'll be able to use a tip jar again#but like... I ain't allowed#but I mean I do still have a tip jar in the sense that there's a paypal.me and a kofi that I own#I just can't build those into my etsy shop#OH WELL!#sergle answers
