FSR rambles 19 traumatic things Link experianced

Pet him like a cat shadow.

At least Link's normal enough to get up now.

Awkward...

Shadow's like "Damn this is weird"

Link's selectively mute still but I'd struggle to talk with four dipshits screaming like cracked out squirrels in my head too so ya know, I don't even blame him for being shitty at communication with Shadow rn.

He's got his priorities in order: FOOD.

Okay but you know Link is mad his plan failed literally the day after he employed it.

I'd be pissed anyway XDDDD

The four of em fell asleep, wake back up and they're right back to square one, ground zero the shit storm he tried to escape from.

That's horrifying in a way I can't quite articulate. "Hopelessness" is the only word coming to mind. Like, everything he did, it didn't matter. It was all for nothing they're BACK to how they were.

His hopes that pulling the sword would fix it: Crushed.

The literal only difference is that Shadow's here.

Which, is BETTER but damn if the disappointment from Link isn't palpable. You can only imagine what's going through his head rn after all this shit, he's just defaulting to a LITTLE BIT of normalcy in making breakfast.

Shadow's back to defaulting to doing: well nothing.

He isn't helping Link and is just WATCHING. Smth literally just yesterday was ALL HE COULD DO.

They're both just defaulting to what they're used to because this shit is too weird.

Is nice of Link to make enough for Shadow though. XD

Haha okay I can get into this:

Literally Shadow and Link simultaneously know each other and don't.

In cannon: Shadow said ONE SENTANCE TO THIS MAN. A SINGLE THING. AND IT WAS MOCKING HIM LMFAO.

Yes Shadow had interaction with the colors but Link and Shadow: Nothing.

So of course he feels awkward around him.

They spent forever together and yet still feel so far away.

It's a tough situation.

Link pulling out the "you sure are quiet" is imo, him trying to be funny.

he continues with "thought you'd be more comfortable with me...at least considering how many times we've kissed"

Obviously this is in reference to Vio lmfao (...Also green but uh we'll get into that later). With Link's eyes matching Vio's.

Link is completely fucking with him and it's funny to me at least. Like he's so deadpan but he's being such a goof rn.

Though it is interesting to note how Link directly says Vio is him without any separation here. Since Vio also thought he was Link last night.

WHY WOULDN'T HE REMEMBER SMOOCHING YA SHADOW???

Shadow clearly not knowing HOW Link works is kinda hilarious but also, nobody knows how this works.

Link casually referencing what Vio said in the fire temple, it's much more obvious now he's goofing with Shadow rn.

Shadow realizing the obvious, that Link IS the same person he's been hanging around just mashed together is a small but good reminder. Like link isn't a stranger fully. He's still the four of them.

Shadow just asking "Is this for me" would seem weird but uhh remember:

He didn't have a BED. He's been a SHADOW for YEARS. Like. Shadow being neglected isn't new. So it's a sad notion but he is shocked he'd be given food.

Link kinda having a "Wtf u mean? duh it's for you." moment.

Also the bomb drop that Link knows about Dark Link...Oops.

Exactly what relationship/how he KNOWS about Dark is kinda, left open since he doesn't elaborate what so ever...

It can be assumed he just knows what everyone else does. Buuut. There's always that "but"

"Link what are you blabbing for they can hear you" - Shadow continuing to not understand how Link works. XD

I don't think it was mentioned anywhere before this but haha Blue was also in on the splitting Link plan. Vio and Red are the only ones left out of some of the loop it seems...But they were mainly worried about Vio catching on.

Link accuratly noting this nightmare isn't anything like the first time. Sorry buddy it's cause you're in an unrated comic by a weirdo fan vs any official Zelda comic. XDDD Which wouldn't allow 90% of what's in this comic I'm sure haha.

Also reasonable train of thought thought Shadow buddy about reverting back into a shadow. What a terrifying thought.

Aw Link's being sweet and- TRIFORCE

Yeah Shadow's sweating bullets considering uh the little fact Ganon said "Here catch, you're evil triforce of power man now"

Takes Link a second to remember back on that convo Shadow and Vio had about the triforce in the flashbacks. PG 179-182 ish if you're curious on brushing up on that.

Oh hi Vio.

I don't think a lot of people caught that this was Vio's design from FS. Which is why Shadow was SO DISTURBED to see him like that. Link's very all over the place mentally and it's showing with his appearance. He's unstable as all hell right now.

Blue chiming in with "Wait a damn minute" remembering Zelda ALSO has the Triforce on her hand.

Vio and Red are being obtuse/ignorant while Blue and Green know smth's up and are getting pissy about it.

Which just makes Link: All over the damn spectrum of emotion about this right now haha.

I'd get tonal whiplash too Shadow.

Link going down the list of things he thought Shadow would want haha.

and Shadow's gay lil confession that all he really wants is Link is sweet.

I mean what else does he have to strive for? He gave up on a lot of his old dreams as pointless after becoming apart of the endless cycle of hatred.

It's noteworthy that Link's outfit glitches to black again.

The line "Which you" was a very fun one to come up with. Because it just, hits ya.

Link isn't one entity. He's multiple. And he literally can't tell who Shadow's talking to in that moment. Because the underlying assumption (To Link and this will become obvious) is that Shadow really only cares about Vio.

All of last night is probably a complete blur/emotional whiplash around Shadow For Link.

Shadow threw a sword at Blue and was VERY hostile, was ALL OVER THE PLACE emotionally with Green mostly being bitter as hell, didn't really acknowledge red and Vio had a complete meltdown over his guilt surrounding Shadow and their friendship and relationship as a whole was all over the place.

Cram that all back together and what is Link supposed to take away from all that. Overall dude had a net negative experience with Shadow and now he's telling him he wants him?

I'd be confused as hell too.

Hi Zelda.

Safe to say that was inevitable given how badly Link was bugging out this entire time.

He couldn't handle seeing Zelda haha.

I don't think people caught Vio is just in his "headspace" outfit. Except it isn't pastel color palette.

Panic attack, featuring Blue. He was the most vocally insistent they draw the sword, was activly trying to force his way out of Link's mish mash body during that whole ordeal. The main take away is that: He HATES being In Link and that was just about the worst nightmare come to life for him.

He doesn't even want Red to touch him, which considering the way it's all but stated Link's magical body is just their bodies pressed together into one form makes the angle that they're all LITERALLY touching each other that much more...ehhh disturbing.

It's okay guys he just needs a minute alone-

Hah. Everyone's leaving you Vio. Doesn't press on the ol anxieties or anything.

Doesn't make it easy for a certain someone to come visit you.

Vio's insecurities focusing around being ALONE and himself are smth that's been fun.

He mainly wants to be Link out of pure selfishness and self hatred. Link is an escape from his own accountability, a way for him to keep himself in check. While Blue finds it to be an outright prison.

Everything Dark is saying about here Vio could also be applied to himself and even Dark says that. He looks miserable while saying it too since Vio's problems are starting to hit a lot closer to home.

At least we got Shadow to yank Vio out of his funk. But Dark has no one to do that for him.

Shadow petting Vio's face here while in a headlock is just, funny to me. Shadow can't affection properly at all lmfao.

But hey he knows when our lil buddy is active. Oops.

Oh the fun they have together alright. 😏

It'll be a real wet and fun time-

What the hell Dark is talking about is left pretty open for now.

But he is getting sick of just sad reactions to what he says.

He's nervous when faced with women. Same bro.

Green and Shadow begging for help on wtf to do with their new squid monster is pretty hilarious to me.

Vio's being perceptive.

"IT IS!?" yeah red. And if you were an interesting character I'd write you doing things. :D

HAH. TRAUMA. DARK LINK RELATED TRAUMA.

Surely that won't bite us in the ass later or anything...

Vio's outfit is very covered up because he's emotionally closed off yada yads I've mentioned this before.

This hasn't been brought up in the comic but Green is afraid of tentacles lmfao so his fear at Dark rn is warranted.

Shadow blatantly not caring what Dark is doing rn because he's busy

Zelda notices right away that Dark defied vaati which must have been weird for her in real time hah.

Shadow's instant response to what to do with Dark is "Murder"

Nice to see you've grown so much shadow lmfao.

Notice how Link being around isn't even the thinly vailed excuse dude just doesn't like Dark Link lmfao. Most of what he said to Dark last night imo was pure projection and again: Not because he cared about Dark. But now he feels like they have an easy to to get rid of him via Zelda. Doesn't have to confront weird feelings if the guy is gone ooomf.

Zelda isn't outright apposed to getting rid of Dark Link but is like "Uhh...But what about link tho-"

Shadow noticed his hair change.

I'm sure he noticed earlier, it's right in his eye sight but background detail of him actually looking at it like "Wtf?"

Also fun pressure to put on Green when he's strung out to shit rn.

HI DARK LINK! :D

Uhhhhhh. Okay then.

So Green's got murder trauma.

He's also just sick of the responsibilities piling on him like a crushing weight.

There's smth to be said about how Dark isn't a murderer so, doesn't have blood around his feet haha visual metaphores haha.

So clarity: Link as a whole person murdered the people who killed his father. And Vio and Green were the ones who had main control in that moment.

Hope that clears some stuff up.

Dark finds this shit hilarious because he's sadistic but Green snaps out of the panic to realize THIS GUY IS DARK LINK.

The moment Green switches from his helpless attire into his current fit was very fun emotionally cause this was the first time someone had ANY amount of control when facing Dark Link. (Excluding Shadow I suppose, in terms of the colors anyway)

Green being a badass is just smth I enjoy and the "Oh shit moment" was very fun to watch people react to haha.

Dark was so excited when seeing Green acknowledge him.

It really goes to show all of his "Nyeh you're such a shitty person" talk is literally not even his own opinion when it comes to the four colors. He's literally just repeating their insecurities and nothing else. Those words have NO BITE to them because Dark doesn't even believe it.

He's so excited to see Green because Green's the ONLY PERSON Who's truly acknowledged him in the head space.

Dark being so overwhelmed with joy he vomits.

Dark really doesn't have a lot of emotional regulation emotionally or physically. Like. The idea here is he's just, so excited he literally physically cannot handle that shit haha. I made a shitpost about it once but it's kinda just, accurate. XD

Green's like "Wtf is wrong with you"

because this isn't ANYTHING he thought he'd be dealing with considering how Shadow was acting/talking about him lmfao.

He was expecting Shadow 2.0 and got...This guy.

Guy who apologizes when acting goofy as shit

Guy who is excited to see him overjoyed even...After utterly destroying him not 2 seconds ago.

Just. A silly. Goofy guy.

It is fun to have Dark switch IMEDIATELY to depressed as hell thinking about how he's been so alone.

I would really describe Dark's excitement here as pure mania. because at the root Dark is a depressed individual.

Dark gives no shits when faced with death.

No begging or pleading for his life just "idk do what you want to I don't care"

Which, Dark Link's lack of care for his own personal safety has been shown off before and will only be a continued trend.

At the end of the day it shows a clear lack of self respect or care for himself.

Dark doesn't value himself.

Green's mercy here is rooted in his own selfishness.

He doesn't WANT to kill Dark Link because he doesn't want to hurt people. Which him and Vio did.

Green is ALSO very exhausted. And what you get is two individuals who would typically be at each other's throats, who aren't interested in fighting each other because they're just so worn out. The drive just isn't there.

Which leads them to being able to actually talk to each other in a meaningful way. And I just find that interesting.

Under different circumstances, these two very well could have fought here. XD

Question: What motivated you to even begin doing all this, all the Hope Universe?

(人◕ω◕) Interesting question. Well I suppose it really boils down to three things really. @wesst1 story "Everyday life with ultimate girls" which you can find here. @pyropsychiccollector story "Danganronpa: Another IF" which you can find here

And the fact that generally speaking, Makoto is not only the most unpopular main character but also he is the only one that actually inspires me. Right. So Why did I bring up Wesst1 and pyro? Well because both of them helped me get into exploring Makoto with others. See, I used to be a bog standard Naegiri & Naekusaba fan. Didn't really think much of shipping the egg with others. But reading Danganronpa: Another IF by @pyropsychiccollector really sold me on NaeCeles around Chapter 3 and Naezono throughout the story From there I became obsessed with other types of shipping and pyro will tell you I quickly reached out to him and well here we are XP But in the early days we were also talking about NaeChisa when there were like 1-3 images out there on the entire internet. And yeah...I quickly fell down the rabbit hole. NaeHina, Naekawa, NaeJunko, Naezono and after reading @wesst1 story, my mind blew wide open. The way he set it up by having Makoto interact with OTHER Girls from GD and V3....Yeah man that shit was revolutionary. Suddenly I had a reference point to expand beyond my initial Class 78 girls with the egg. From here on, I just wanted to explore shipping Makoto with others. Sonia, Akane, Mikan, Ibuki (@pyropsychiccollector she's still an agent of chaos), Miu, Kaede, Angie, Tenko, etc And well funnily enough I started getting into Koikatsu around this time. Same program I use for all my 3D stuff. See, on a site called Pixiv there was this guy called Demco. He made all the main series characters sans Ruruka and Seiko. But there was a rub. He was SUPER paranoid? Controlling? XDDD @notpistol knows what I'm talking about. He basically had this rule where you couldn't share his danganronpa characters at all or he'll private everything and you wouldn't get access to future updates of a character as he improved the designs. Several times though they would get leaked and he eventually went nuclear and just stopped making cards and took down all his links. Around this time I had to quite literally look at pictures he would still post and figure out the new changes and looks and replicate it myself (with limited success). So Demco became this new....goal or rival to beat XDDD I would tell @pyropsychiccollector about Demco's madness but brilliance and my desire to succeed him.

So I practiced and developed my skills. Not long after I began making my own characters Demco never made like Miaya and the Student Council~ Those were my first ever characters I made that nobody did. @notpistol also started making the spin-off/LN/Manga characters like Sayaka's idol group or Yui and Hiroko! So between the two of us and I forgot to add but there was a lad who made Seiko and Ruruka and did a GOD tier job with the early designs. Also, someone made Danganronpa Another cards but they....weren't that good XDDD. But yeah between me and @notpistol we basically started making every danganronpa character that had an image. I think though what made me really make the Hope universe was....okay. I finally became a solid creator. I could replicate/improve upon Demco's cards and I made new characters. But there wasn't a grand plan or anything. I was just using them for shipping stuff and my goal at the time was to show Makoto x <Insert Girl> art and family stuff.

A NaeAngie family picture or Makoto with Tsumugi and their child or NaeCeles Family or Naekawa wedding. Stuff like that. My earliest Koikatsu work was in fact Makoto x Chisa and soon after Makoto x Celeste and Makoto x Junko. You seen the kids and stuff. However once I saw DRA1 and SDRA2 I decided.....I can make all of this work. XDDDD I became unapologetically greedy and decided to make a huge harem and @wesst1 already showed me it can be done! So I decided to incorporate fangan stuff but I didn't have an overall plan or story or anything. it was more or less "Hey I'm a huge Makoto harem shipper, here's this big family" But as I decided to add more characters and what not, I began figuring out who goes where. And creating the initial groundwork for classes. It wasn't until the brilliant @putaindeplagieur contacted me and made this kickass Excel spreadsheet listing all the classes, who teaches the classes and yeah we worked together for months and I pitched him the idea of opening up multiple schools and we (Mostly him) organized that shit! XDDDDD Which led to the Hope Universe we have. I wanted a corner of the internet where we get some wholesome fluff and family stuff with the egg. No deaths, no murder porn, none of that stuff. And I needed it because life fucking sucks here in America especially as a minority so it became this outlet for me. In my single-minded devotion to this project, I created something special with the help of @putaindeplagieur, @pyropsychiccollector and @notpistol Eventually though as of late last year I wanted to add some story to all of this. Me and @pyropsychiccollector have been spitballing idea's for skits and stuff and yeah. Laughing Man Saga for the family 15 years post Class 78 Graduation and I'm hard at work for the Kamukura/Tragedy story while they're at Hope's Peak.

Bit of a long read and stuff but yeah...I started this all not just to make makoto shippers happy and stuff but because It's therapeutic for me and maybe a few others. I know @makoto-naegi-stud-and-friends has also been making some Naegi centered stuff! I guess also another big part of WHY I made the hope universe is to give characters a better life. Junko is doing much better, Kanade, Ruruka, Seiko, Natsumi, Kotoko, Tsumugi, etc. I just wanted to take all these characters and put them in a better world (not a perfect one) free from all that despair and stuff. Real life is already fuckin miserable here with constant mass shootings, the far right losing their minds over LGBTQIA stuff and corporations turning America into Neo-Feudalism slowly over time. What do I gain from seeing so much darkness in DRA1/SDRA2? And yeah I also wanted to have characters from these fangans get a chance to be happy and stuff since projects either get canceled or we run into the initial dilemma of so much dark and depressing shit.

Dunno. For me at least, I need fluff since I'm always exposed to so much despair in real life. XDDD And I hope you all enjoy the stuff I do~

P3R while I was gone, part 1:

Featuring my very first reversed social link ever, delicious pancakes, and a marriage proposal!

But first, yet another cat on floor 100-whatever of Tartarus.

...you and me both, kitty. Still don’t know how the fuck you got here.

My next outing with Elizabeth takes us to school, which… maybe we should have done at a different time.

Oh man, wait, can you change your clothes? Liz in a Gekkoukan uniform would be--

……..nevermind. God. X’D

So we’re off into the school. Apologies in advance for my weird cousin, everyone. She’s, uh, from abroad.

The school store only sells bread. Which… I don’t actually know if school lunch is a thing in Japan. Gekkoukan doesn’t seem to have a cafeteria or anything.

Jesus christ there are people in here.

Huh. Never seen Liz “unsettled” before. Interesting. Add some more points to the “the Velvet attendants are pretty human after all” column.

After some other activities, we end up in the music room!

I am, actually! But it was the Long-Nose Song before. Although, I guess I don’t remember that, since it was in the Abyss of Time. Liz is good at piano, though, which… I would hope so, considering she lives with Nameless. He’s probably given all the siblings at least a few lessons.

Elizabeth enjoyed her trip to school, and it’s… really nice to get to see mundane things through the eyes of someone who has never experienced them.

Awwwwww. I really hope that at some point she changes her mind about going out at night, so we can visit Escapade.

Anyway, all of my social links are not ready to rank up, except the Gourmet King, so I guess we’ll go spend time with him.

...great.

The guy who walks up is the thug from the previous rank, who the guy hired to, presumably, beat Suemitsu up. Minato tries to tell him to just stop, and honestly, both dialogue options were pretty blunt and probably rude. But I don’t even feel bad.

……….you know what, yes. I’m hotter than you. Lots of people are. You didn’t have to join a cult over it.

FINE. Whatever. I’ll get you next time. I don’t think you’d have responded any better to the other dialogue option, but whatever.

Suemitsu leaves with the thugs, and Minato, because he’s too good of a person, goes after them.

Honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing here. I really don’t care about you, tbh. But my Moon link un-reversed, so I guess that was a scripted thing.

...maybe I can do a “reverse all links” run at some point. That might be funny, to see how fast I can piss off everyone I know. XDDDD

The thugs decided this wasn’t worth it, so after leaving Suemitsu to sort himself out, I head home to study for my midterms.

“Fun”. Akihiko, you think all the weirdest things are fun.

But the next day, he wants to hang out, so let’s have some more fun!

...oh. Oh.

He wanted to make them for everyone in the dorm, to cheer people up.

I guess this is where my Minato learned that making pancakes is the ideal food after a rough time. P3 retroactively justifying parts of Hours for me is absolutely incredible.

I mean, yeah. You shouldn’t.

He says that this is all he can do right now, but… it’s enough, Akihiko. It’s enough.

Anyway, time passes, midterms start tomorrow, and everyone I live with continues to be weird.

You wanted to watch us study. Ken, please. God. Just go get your books and come study with us.

...hehehehe

This is a new episode, I think. I’m delighted. <3

And, finally, it’s time to wrap up Maiko’s social link, so I can have two that are properly maxed out!

Of course we will. You’re not getting rid of me that easily.

We spend her last rank-up running around the playground, before finally climbing up to just hang out and sit.

Maiko has important things on her mind, though.

I’ll think about it, munchkin.

She gives you a bead ring, which, I dunno. Is Maiko seven? I didn’t give her a treasure in return, so I think I’m safe from being trapped in a childhood marriage promise.

...it’s really cute, though. I… Well. There’s no way to see what would happen if they met again. But I think it would be funny to remind her of this when she’s a teenager. ^_^

Next time: the last Full Moon

@randomfoggytiger @tygertygerfoggybright

Here I go again on your latest ask, pickin' and choosin'.

Perlman was so much more "class clown" than I was expecting-- having a ton of fun, a ton of energy, bouncing off of the audience quite energetically. Roy and Jay were great, too:

Like he said, not a straight man on the set! I'll bet that show was a blast to work on. If you can carve out a good chunk of time, it's worth watching the entire Q & A. It's one of my favorites of all the cons that were filmed and shared. I believe it was the first one after the show was canceled but everyone was certain that another network would pick up the show, and Koslow was pushing hard for a least one movie, and it was looking like we'd actually get one. Oh, well...

More below...

Also, everyone (including Perlman) not hearing Vincent's voice at times was side-splitting. XDDDD

Right?? 🤣

Unfortunately after this con, Perlman made appearances at a couple others where he encountered some of the more, ummm, fanatical and aggressive Classic fans, in ways that soured him on doing any more of them. He finally relented and made the surprise appearance in 1995 at A Distant Shore in LA, which just happened to be the only con I was able to attend. I got lucky. We all did. He did another one in 1999, but I think that was it as far as BATB appearances.

Nan's thoughts on Diana were fascinating--

Yes, they were. She had such an influence on the way I learned to consume media and analyze aspects of a character that I might've missed. We didn't agree on everything re: Diana, but we shared a brain when it came to Vincent. Were you able to watch the full panel with Nan? It's well worth it.

recognizing why Vincent kept Diana a secret from Father for a bit and doesn't admit to her until there is a chance Diana fill find a way Below,

He wasn't going to share her until he absolutely had to. She was his little secret, and I love that about a character who's normally so open with his father.

noting what drew Vincent to Catherine (courage/beauty/warmth) vs. what draws him to Diana (imagination-- and smiles talking about it) and that he highly values imagination from people,

That's because his own ability to imagine things has been so vital to him. If you can't ever see the mountains, it's important that you be able to fully imagine them. One of the smaller details in Nan's writing that I appreciate so much is that she has Vincent sucking down all the movies and travelogues Diana rents for him, pausing a single image to study it, sometimes for so long that the VCR shuts off. It's the little things like that that make her writing so memorable to me.

Diana used her own status/experience to argue against Vincent's wrong path he was pursuing ("human standards apply to you, too; and you're WRONG")

This is so hugely important to their dynamic.

understanding that killing is a moral choice to Vincent (not a matter of expediency-- wait, wasn't killing an expediency to Catherine, especially in times of danger? Morals certainly took a backseat when it came to her rescue; but to V a life was a life),

Well, it was a moral choice and a matter of expediency. I think V believed that anyone who threatened an innocent with violence (not just Cathy) didn't fall within his own moral standards of where one might deserve a second chance. They were being an active threat to people he loved, so he eliminated that threat. Easy peasy. I kind of think he probably didn't give a whole lot of thought to those he'd killed until this toxic alchemy was created when the desire he felt for Cathy became hard to distinguish from his desire to protect her. When the one need began to feed the other, and vice versa. That's when things started to get sticky and eventually led to his downfall.

But Diana has been able to see things from both sides in a way V hasn't. She knows and is able to crawl inside the minds and emotions of both victim and perpetrator, so her moral authority is different from his - more highly refined, perhaps. And she expects him to operate on her level, not his. And, by God, he does it! He learns to see things differently, to make decisions more with his head than with his gut. She tells him flat out that he can't keep going around slaughtering people just because he's half out of his mind with grief and anger. Because that makes him operate in ways that betray her own moral standards and she knows he's better than that.

Sorry, I went on a tangent there, but the fic I'm working on right now explores a lot of these same issues, so it's up front in my mind.

emphasizing that the rules that applied to Catherine do not apply to Diana

Yes, sir, because the last thing D wants is for him to see her as someone else he has to kill for. She doesn't want that. She's determined that he not get caught up in that cycle of violence again. She making it clear that she's not Cathy, she's her own person with her own thoughts and needs and he has to accept that and respect it.

On your sister and Helper:

Her overall impression: “Man, Nanverse is hard mode.

Yeah, buddy, Nan never pulled any punches in her writing.

Speaking of, it's time to go back to my own. Until the next time...

🔥Fire Type🔥 and 🧊Ice Type🧊 for spinnel

🔥Fire Type🔥: Alright! Are you and your F/O competitive? What fires you both up?

Honestly out of the both of us, it's, it's uh, it's me-the person who plays online games against other people for fun, but it's different when I'm with Spinel I PROMISE-she's not so much as like, competitive whenever we play games together, she's more interested if we're having fun with what we're doing...and make smug little jokes about my slight gamer rage that comes through cause she thinks it's cute AAA XDDDD

🧊Ice Type🧊: Brr, it’s cold in here. Whats your favorite thing to do together when it’s chilly out? Do you want to snuggle up for warmth or brave the cold for snow time fun?

See with Spinel being a whole ROCK ALIEN, weather temperatures really don't like, throw her off or bother her or anything - though seeing her reaction on witnessing snow fall to the ground for the first time ever, I wish I could see it again - it was like, genuine fascination where you could see her eyes light up with wonder, and me quickly remembering that she's much stronger than me WHEN SHE JUST NEEDED ONE HAND TO YANK MY ASS OUTSIDE TO GO PLAY IN IT-

@random-elsen as you wish :D

summertime writers' asks!

🦋 tell us about your current wip

My current WIP? Living in Reverse! MP100 Mobrei.

I think it's my most personal work until now and the first time I try to make my MC get over someone who meant everything to them.

There's also In Between (the second part of my Bokuaka Stay with me). I'd like to get back to it some day but not in the mood right now.

My Serirei Age Swap AU counts as a WIP? xD

🌿 who is your favourite character you've ever written?

That's a difficult question. I think I'll go with Bokuto, but Reigen gets a really close second position.

🌞 favourite character from current wip

Reigen. No doubt.

🍦 what is your current word count?

On Ao3 312,123 words. I'm a really slow writer and too inconsistent. Just hope I never get into another 10 year rough patch without writing :O

🌻 least favourite character / hardest to write

Not really sure about my Serizawa characterization. Mob doesn't like to talk with me too much. I worked too little with him :S

🍉 favourite wip

MP100 Age Swap AU is the thing that most resembles to having fun writing for me, so I'll go with it

☁️ wip you want to write but haven't started yet

I want to write something with Kitsune Reigen and there's a little comic going through tumblr about Reigen and Mob meeting another version of themselves that has a lot of potential as a fanfic

And the selfcest Manga Reigen/Anime Reigen can be fun if I find an interesting plot to develop with that concept :D

🌸 wip you've been working on the longest

There's a Stucky Omegaverse that I tried to work into an Eruri Omegaverse that has a lot of potential to become an original story (and that just loses more and more A/B/O elements every time I look at it)

The inception of the idea comes from 2014

✨ newest wip

Living in Reverse

🦩 wip you hate working on but are too far gone to turn back

Thank god, the one that made me feel like that isn't a WIP anymore. I can't say I hated working on Chains of the Past (Eruri), I really love that story, but it got my mind in some dark places I'd rather not go again.

🍸 character who inspired your mc

It's been too long since I tried to write some original work so I'm not sure I can answer this one. Reigen is inspired by Reigen xDDDD

🌱 book that inspired your wip

It's been too long since I read it but I know "La Plaça del Diamant" of Mercè Rodoreda but there's something about how she wrote that book that stayed with me.

🍃 what is your genre?

Slice of life? Character studies? I joke sometimes about "I'll stay with you". I made the most boring Magical Realism I could. Even with magic everything feels too grounded on reality :O

🌼 least favourite writing genre

I'm very bad with action. I don't like to write horror.

🥥 least favourite reading genre

Horror

🐠 author who inspires you

As a writer, Eduardo Mendoza, Sam Savage, Ursula Le Guin or Neil Gaiman but I don't care much for writers so I'm not sure how much of an inspiration I can consider them.

🍯 author you know

This one.. not sure about it :O

🌷 writing achievement you want to brag about

I finish things xDDDDDD Not always, but it happened more than twice. Just some years ago it felt like it would never happen.

🍄 name a song that represents your mc

LiR soundtrack is this one :D

Lacuna Coil - Upsidedown

youtube

🍬 a song for your favourite character

This one makes me think in Bokuto

youtube

🌤 name the hardest thing you've had to do for writing

Put in risk my own mental health. Sometimes I get too much into it.

🍰 where you like to write

Depends on the day, but must of the time I need to be on my studio, with my workshop station and my big screen to see my doc, notes and images all at the same time.

🍧 weirdest place you've written

I don't consider it really strange, but in my phone while going back home in the train

🕊 mc's MBTI

I'm sure my characterisation isn't ENTP but who cares xDDD

🍀 character you would kill off if they were not vital to the plot

There's no one vital to the plot I'd like to kill but Age Swap AU Reigen's dad could die and I won't cry for him. That man is an asshole.

🍓 worst thing you've done to your characters

Akaashi got raped on First Love. Levi lived in an spiral of remembering his own suicide again and again once he got reincarnated.

Age Swap Reigen got tortured for what felt months in his own mind.

Lots of bullying in school for too many characters too.

👒 nicest thing you've done to your characters

Give them someone in their lives who understand them and want to make them happy

🌾 book you would / have writ(t)e(n) fanfic for

Strangely, I love Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter but never felt the need to write fanfic for them.

Comics, you can choose xD Haikyuu, AoT, JJK, Rictor/Shatterstar, Captian America, Banana Fish

🌨️ book you hate

Oh! The 7th Book of Harry Potter. That one. I can't. I'd like to burn it.

🐥 here's some writing motivation!

It was fun to answer :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

rb for an ask!

ococo https://twitter.com/umikochannart/status/1532835037074292739/photo/1 franken maybe getting jealous when someone asks Muzaka for a spar darkicedragon But who would ask muzaka for a spar tho 😂 But also, muzaka going out for a spar means muzakas not dragging him away from his researxh haha ococo a noble? maybe ignes XD or previous lord uwu darkicedragon Ooooh nooooo XDD ococo cause he might get flirty

darkicedragon ..... Did we ever see the previous lord use ragnarok? ococo nope i dont think we saw him fight at all darkicedragon So he just showed up in the middle of the fight, and it was rais aura that was doing the shielding ococo wait was there a fight that he was in? darkicedragon If its ignes, frankenstein will step in, esp if muzaka mentions she'd taken some blood from him 'just like you do!' ^u^ '......really now' darkicedragon Think it was when pastfrankenstein was losing it in the fight with urokai. They stepped in at the last minute to pause the fight ococo ohhhhh yeaaah but he didnt really fight ococo XD no one but franken is allowed to take Muzaka's blood darkicedragon ....muzaka and karias might be funny tho 😂 theyd have a bunch of fun ococo yeah, yupppp tooo much big dick energy .. they might blow up a whole island XD darkicedragon Yeeep haha ococo Karias would improve his hand to hand combat when sparing with Muzaka Muzaka might lose a limb or two against the previous lord but he would be like OwO and keeps fighting he would grew them back in mins anyway darkicedragon I guess karias' arrows would act like a werewolfs slash atk, so its familiar to muzaka for a bit But yeah Disappointing the first time theyre hand to hand 😂 ococo unless Karias' soul weapon makes a hole in Muzaka's stomach darkicedragon Oh yeah, lord bloodline has the blood powers, so that would make it super interesting to muzaka to try and dodge all of that aha darkicedragon Freaks karias out bc he didnt expect it to hit, while muzaka is just like >80 'good hit!!' ococo "are u ok? I can see your insi..." Muzaka heals as Karias speaks and is like OwO?? "...oh never mind, of course you are ok" darkicedragon XDDDD Muzaka taking karias back for dinner and Frankenstein is just like 'I thought werewolves didnt get along with nobles?' 'This ones cool' ... Would karias know abt frankensteins reputation ahhaha But i guess it would depend, bc karias wouldnt hear from humans much, but he might hear abt the human who was the werewolf lords partner ococo XD ahahaha this one is cool probably yeah, Karias loves gossips Karias is like 0.0"" cause he stumbled on the werewolves' lord and Frankenstein himself if Karias thinks franken is danger to humanity would he be in a fighty mode? Also, Muzaka might enjoy sparring with Kei.. cause he looks like werewolf and his combat style is also close to a werewolf darkicedragon Oh my god, i completely forgot abt keye 😂 they just bump into each other in a forest and start sparring haha ococo yup XD darkicedragon Then muzaka says to karias, 'nah, thats just a buncha rumours spread by ppl who hate frankenstein. Worse he'll do spar with ya, or take some blood' 'For a contract??' ococo "bold to assume that I would link my life to yours for sake of power" darkicedragon owo? 'Lots of humans did that tho' ococo Muzaka answers for franken "but he is not like all other humans" =w= saying it with pride

My sister got a new laptop with Windows 11 on it, and I'm shocked at how much bullshit they put you through to even set up the god damn system upon turning it on.

I currently still use Windows 7 because I'm both stubborn and unable to buy a brand new desktop comp. Setting it up wasn’t really all that hard. But this one was a whole new level of wtf: Why must you make/add your Microsoft account email to even begin setting up the second you turn it on for the first time? Seriously, what the actual fuck? And then there's "WindowsS Mode" or whatever the fuck it's called. More security that only allows "Microsoft approved" apps on your system. Disable it and it's gone for good, and you can get better browsers like Firefox now. Tell me, what's the point of even offering this mode anyway if it's permanently gone when disabled???

And now I also have to figure out how to un-bloat the crap on it so it's fast and has what she wants and needs on it. But good luck actually finding a simple and easy method for that without unmentionable drawbacks. 9 times out of 10 there’s a video or write up out there that offers such easy solutions, but you can follow it to a T and still fuck shit up:

"Oh yeah, you can try this, it'll un-bloat everything and make it faster/better!"

(people in comments mention issues with removing things causes instability, some of which are never answered by op so these people are ignored and leaves people like me hesitant on their credibility)

And then someone else comes along and is just like, "Oh, just reinstall the entire system again if you break something xDDDD"

I hate this so much. If this is likely to happen when followed as close as possible, the solution just doesn’t work. Finding good solutions in the online tech communities is a god damn nightmare for me sometimes because it always feels like I'm the only one asking the Q to get a proper A. And I have to be extremely tenacious in getting that A.

If I ever get a new desktop for myself with Windows 11, I know for sure I'll be tearing my hair out trying to transfer my art programs like GIMP and Photoshop on it. Or hell, even my old, non-subscription based Microsoft Word/Excel/etc. for work stuff. Because fuck subscriptions, I shouldn’t have to pay for a product I bought years ago and never had to renew until now. Ridiculous.

Also, I’d instantly look for a way to make Windows 11 look like Windows 7 so I have the best of both worlds; latest tech with old, simple and perfect look/layout. If that’s even possible.

End pointless rant.

My ADHD, My ED my last 4 years of life

So yea, after 21 years of my life, i got diagnosis with ADHD.

Now many thing makes sense.

That explain a lot, including my ED.

It only hurts that my own mother doesnt believe me, even tho i spent A LOT OF MONEY, on diagnosis, to make sure that it will be done properly. I had many test, and every specialist that i talked to could without doubt after only 20 minutes talking with me that I indeed have ADHD.

Thats so fucking depressing. Knowing that because my ADHD, My ED and prabobly Hashimoto (im not sure yet, but I'm enrolled in a screening, besides I have symptoms plus it's genetic, and mine Mom is also having a Haszimoto)

I cant focus because of that, and also its so fucking hard to loose weight.

I lost a lot weight in 2019 but at the beginig of 2020 i gained it all back.

It was caused by quarantine ofc, but not only. I had my exams, really important, because it was senior year. I could focus fully on strict diet, i knew i have to let it go, and eat more or I will fail.

By teh time i was trying to slowly increase my calorie income. I didnt gain much, maybe 2 kg, But over the course of a few months i went from eating 300 cals to about 1400 cals. It was a big deal. Even tho i was exercising, counting calories, i gained all weight bac.

It destroyed me. I could gain weight also because of antidepressants i was taking, so i thew them away.

For almost 2 years I was stuck in the same body, trying every day to make it better, Starving my self again, and i couldnt change it, no matter what.

It hurts

aT THE BEGINING OF 2021 I MOVED TO MY STEPFATHER FLAT. iT WAS EMPTY, and nobody lived here since stundents that were letting a huse, moved out. I wanted to live alone, so i will have no food in my home and it will be easy for me to not eat durring lockdown.

I spent there only mont, cuz my momther and my stepfather arued and i had to move out. One nigh, when i was on BD party my mom called me, and told me "you are moving out tomorrow" and that it.

In April This Year ( 2022) I started taking meds for my ADHD. It helped me loose some weight finaly

DISCLAIMER. DONT EVER TRY TO FAKE ADHD TO GET THOSE MEDS. IT WILL NOT HELP YOU. If you dont have adhd it will make you feel druged all tehe time, also it will harm your hearth liver etc. and your organs are not in good state rn if you have ED.

So please dont ever try it. It will not work.

I dont know how my life will work. I dont knwo how to stop it. But I feel so miserable.

My plan is, to loos weight again, so i finaly will feel like im worth healing (I KNOW ITS NOT HOW IT WORK, BUT THATS HOW I FEEL).

i know i cant just eat more. It will end up as always, i will feel bad, scared, i will want to cut my skin, to harm my body, i will feel bad, i will be scared that pepole will treat me worse, i will cry every day.

My metabolism is too slow, eating 500 cals doenst make me loose any weigh. I loose weight only when i eat around 300.

When i will be back to my old weight i will try again, increase slowly my calories.

But this time i will stay on 1000 cals for longer, It will take a lot of time, but im tired

First 3 photos are me in 2019 I had more photos but i lost them :((

Thats me now and how i want to look like

yes i used body editor xDDDD

And thats just me on the blurry selfie enjoy

...Eh no, how'd you come up with THAT drama?😂 We're only fighting over the custody of the pups, without the whole rest😂

True true 🤔 And he had one specific reason for existing from the very beginning, so that probably helped, too🤔

HAHAHAA yess he kinda did, now that you pointed it out like that��🙈 And meh, yeah, sadly, but at least the Winchesters acknowledge it repeatedly🤔

Yeah, it's been a while so I'm not exactly 100% in the details either but Shippuuden did add the others kinda befriending Naruto before (and ACTUALLY befriending, not just see each other and kinda relate from a distance) and more healthily, but oh well, the shared understanding of loneliness must have trumped everything🤔😅🤷🏻‍♀️

It's actually amazing how many things used to be perfectly fine a long time ago until some humans decided to screw it up and make it SUPPOSEDLY weird🙄🙄😩 Just think of women's role in the viking age or dresses and skirts originally being made and worn by men (same with high heels)🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

..."Entertaining"...🤦🏻‍♀️😩 Now I'm starting to worry about YOU😅😂🙈

Nooooooo😭😭😭😭😭 Oh god, poor Damnit, poor Kara and poor freaking Mon😭 Why make them suffer so???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙈🙈🙈🙈

Life is indeed brutal, but dogs should and need to be protected!😭😌😭🙈

Thank you😭🙈 (that "probably" still worries me tho)

Oh, Huh, Dunno, I think I've only ever seen two or so films with him and don't even remember which?😅🤷🏻‍♀️ He's pretty funny in interviews and lipsync battles😂

Yeah, I actually really like the theory, cause there does seem to be a lot of evidence hinting at it 🤔😁 Ohhh, the Loki show was good but he's DEFINITELY another tragic dork🙈🙈😭

Loool, True, that might have been how Sasuke could have ended up🤔 Tho there were actually filler episodes in the Tsukiyomi no Mi where all the Uchihas weren't killed and Minato, Kushina, etc were still alive, too, and Sasuke kinda went off the deep-end there, too, but I don't particularly remember why he was like that there, too, might have been another Uchiha conspiracy tho🤔😅🙈

Ohhh, a party with Mon and Thor would be HILARIOUS!😂😂 (I think a What-If episode even had FratboyOfTheUniverse!Thor 🤔)

Ohh, btw, Spidey might be a pretty good fit for Mon, too 🤔 Happy-go-lucky, sarcastic and learning the whole "with great power comes great responsiblity" lesson🤔😂

Ohhh😍 Nice, Derek is finally backk💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻😍 Hmm, good question about the mother tho...Most are still assuming it must be Braeden form what I've seen online, but dunno🤷🏻‍♀️ (Tbh, I wasn't really too much of a fan of that, but that might just have been because she wasn't really around long enough for them to develop naturally and her to become more relatable😅🙈🙈)

😂😂 True true, my condolensces anyway😅🙈

Haha, yeah, like, the moment my mood changes my music choice will, too 😂 I gets annoying for others when I'm in charge of music cause I'll usually get bored or find a better one before the first is even finished😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah, it really DOES say a lot about oneself🤔😂🙈

Ohhh, another song I seem to have a weakness for is the Macarena😂😂 It just makes me laugh like an idiot and most recently "Give that Wolf a Banana" too😂😂🤔 Apart from that...Uhh, "Chop Suey" by System of A Down tends to not be skipped by me either🤔 "Falling inside the Black" and "Not gonna die" by Skellet, "Thnks fr th mmrs" by Fall Out Boy, "Earth" by Sleeping At Last and "Same Old War" by Our Last Night? 🤔🤔 Ohhh, and "Carnival of Rust" by Poets of the Fall 🤔

Do you have favourites?🤔😁

Ohw no😰🙈 And yess, I already did😂 (I happened to see your reply before hers so I might have already screamed/panicked at her about what happened to her wrist😅😂🙈🙈)

Anyway, as always stay safe, stay happy and have a great Sunday!💃🏻

XXXX

Mhm. Sure.

Yep. Poor dude. RIP

Yeah, Winchesters were... fucked up xD But sometimes I think some of their fans are more xDDDD

Ooooh, ok, that one. When he was playing with the kids but in the end they all returned home with their parents and he was left alone, and when he was returning he was seeing Sasuke near the lake. Got it.

On the other hand... imagine a village where people just leave the orphaned kids alone like Naruto and Sasuke .... like... wtf...

I mean, look at the most homophobic organization aka Catholic Church (I just want to say I am Catholic xD). Dresses? Pink? Laces??? TADAH!

^It always makes me laugh xD

Worry about me? AWWWWWW

Well, that's life? There are no always HEA xD

But ok, ok, she broke up with her fiance and asked the agent to contact the owner to meet. He comes, they meet in the house, they talk, they kiss, have a steamy sex near the fireplace and then go for a walk with the doggo. Happy?

Time will tell? xD Fingers crossed for the theory. Maybe it will be reveal one day? In s2 maybe?

I say no to fillers xD there was a movie in AU too I think? Where Saukra was the hero, Naruto still had his parents and Sasuke had his parents and was a womanizer xD God, i hate fillers in any way xD

Mon and Thor bromance! Give it now!

i mean, Ididn't love it, it was not otp, but made sense and it was something a lot of other TW couples didn't have (Scott Malia? wtf? and don't make me moan about s*ydia) *rolls eyes*

Thanks... I guess.

Lol, so you are the Dean, you choose the music, end of story xD

The banana song was the best thing after the Ukrainian song xD Aww, Chop Suey. It seems a lot ot people who like Linkin Park like Skillet too? Never heard of sleeping at last, seems niceeeeee. The same goes for same old war :D

Well, Akatsuki no kuruma by FictionJunction YUUKA, Scissors Paper Rock by Indica, Helvegen by Wardruna, Heartless Madness by Dynazty, Strenght of a thousand men by Two Steps from Hell, The Crying Shore by Bare Infinity, Vataha by Dzivia, Sehnsucht by Rammstein, Astral Romance (2001) by Nightwish, In Vaun by WT, Dream Thieves by Sonata Arctica, Virtue and Vice by Delain, Blood on my hands by Xandria, Storm the sorrow by Epica, Helvetios by Eluveitie, Krigsgaldr by Heilung, Touch in the night by Battle Beast and yep, a lot of more. But as you said, it depends on the mood.

Thank youuuu. I feel we need to harass her more about her WELL BEING =='

Have a nice day too!

Since Hyper asked for Bad Sanses hcs,,, 👉👈 Star Sanses hcs??? Also feel free to extend the trio to add Outer or anyone else!!

Ough

I gotchu boo <3333

Star Sanses Hcs incominggggggg

Blue is ever so slightly juuuuuuust a little bit plant obsessed. And by that I mean his house is a jungle and he made a community garden and handles a lot of the upkeep for it. He's actually really good at taking care of them, he has a very green thumb and he lovingly cares for all his plants. His favourites are the herbs, and he loves drying herbs and using them in recipes. He also studies medicinal plants and makes little remedies for his friends when they've got insomnia or anxiety or an upset stomach. I'm totally not projecting here bc I'm totally not fascinated by an herbs class I'm taking rn XDDD (I am kind of projecting with the green thumb though bc a lot of my plants are dying DX)

Dream loves to go swimming. He loves going to the beach, but lakes are also very nice, just anywhere that he can just sit on a floatie and just look at the sky and float along. Lazy rivers at water parks are his absolute favourite, and he does sometimes fall asleep on them. He can sometimes convince Blue to go along with him and they just chat and watch the clouds go by.

Ink (the real reason you requested the star Sanses huh Saph XDDDD I know what you're up to) is a bit of an adrenaline junkie. He does like to do activities like rollercoasters or sky diving, because if he forgets what he's doing, it doesn't put him in danger, because he's not in control of what he's doing. Plus, when he goes skydiving, he can surf through the clouds on Broomy. And that just looks hecka cool.

Now for some x reader hcs~

Blue isn't usually much one for cuddling but whenever you're doing anything and you have a hand free he can and will grab it every single time, interlacing your fingers and rubbing his thumb (phalange??? I don't think the thumb is a phalange but idek lol) on the back of your hand.

Dream is like. Super physically affectionate but he will almost never initiate. I'm talking like if you grab his hand and hold it for a minute the next thing you know you are in his lap and you are now a teddy bear. Your hair is being played with and you are being snuggled into oblivion. Also bc I am highkey projecting he will absolutely melt at the small touches. Like if you're hugging and you rub his back a bit or if you hold his face and like caress his cheek with your thumb you will have a pile of goo in front of you and depending on his emotional state he may very well burst into tears.

Ink calls you his muse. Unironically and all the time. Bc you literally are, look at what he doodles in the dirt while Dream explains the battle plan and you'll see your own face staring back at you. Even his abstract pieces have the curl of your eyelashes or the smoothness of your lips or the dimple in your cheek when you laugh.

Also because I was rereading some of my old oneshots I was reminded, @saphirathedragon, that this man is a complete and utter simp. Having trouble falling asleep? He will make you hot chocolate or talk with you until you fall asleep or just sit there and draw and keep you company to drive away the bad dreams. Feeling a bit hungry? No worries, he has a list of your favourite foods on his scarf! Having a bad day? He will just like. Beat somebody up if he has to, or just generally ruin their day, depending on the amount of anger and vengeance you're feeling, but he'll also just tell you jokes he's written down, and even though you've heard them all before, he tells them like they're new, so you laugh every time. This man is a SIMP and we love him for it <3.

And now bc I just remembered u mentioned him OUTER!!!!

Roller skating. First thing my brain shouted at me... For some reason XDD but part of me thinks he would love those little light shows they put on sometimes where they make the room kinda dark and shine spotlights around and play music kind of thing? Those just scream Outer to me lol especially bc you don't have to do a lot to roller skate, just kinda push off every once in a while and glide, maybe do tricks if he feels like it, but otherwise he can just sit back (and maybe cheat a bit with gravity magic shhhh) and admire the way the disco ball reminds him of stars.

Outer is a little gentleman. The type to pull out your chair for you (whether it's him or his gravity magic is a toss up lol) or give you his jacket when it's cold (the cold just goes right through him eyyyyyy) or hold your heavy backpack. Also I just hc that he is a great communicator, unlike SOME of the other Sanses idk what about him screams that to me but he is always just down to sit down and have a talk about your needs or how you're feeling. Maybe he needs a bit of prompting to talk about himself but if you just nudge him a bit he will open right up to you.

Alrighty boo thank you for requestingggggggg!!!! Other people are still open to request if they would like to! Man I'm all soft now XDDD these are just so cute,,,,

All the hours I lost // 01

Part one: Familiar things wither

Pairing: Gojo Satoru x gn! reader

Genre: Fluff and a little angst

Warnings: Cursing (I have a dirty mouth :/), alluding to sex/making out (I didn't specify so it's up to interpretation), hinting at manipulation on Gojo's end (let's be honest this man lives by the words gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss)

Summary: Meeting your soulmate is magical for everyone. For you it's even more so, after all Gojo Satoru is a man like no other.

Word count: 5.1k

A/n: This fic was written for @yuujispinkhair 's Enchanted to meet you collab. She is absolutely lovely please check them out for amazing content. Thank you so much, Winter, for hosting the collab 💖💕🥺💓💗❤️💘💞🥺🥰💓💞💘💗💖😘

This is a song fic, to get the full context please check out All too well by Taylor Swift! (You don’t have to it, makes sense without it but it makes more sense with it)

It's incredibly long because I have a lot to say about this man. (If it wasn't clear from the word count already. He has me by the neck if you will xddd) I hope my beta reader could make the fic eligible for human consumption. I kinda feel like I’m sending my kid off to school rn I spent months with this fic being basically done but not ready to roll out xdddd Please enjoy! And have a great day! 💕

Part two

Taglist💕: @cerealfrdinner797

It was a chilly September day. You remember it clearly, in fact it’s the only day in your life that you could play minute by minute in your head. You aren’t really sure if it’s because of the impact it had on your life or if it's just natural to remember, and in the end it doesn’t matter. You are grateful for it because you think back a lot to that day. Everything is so vivid, the feelings, the sensations, even the thoughts that were running through your head.

It was your first fall out of school, your first full time job, you were delighted that you are finally putting your degree to use. Fate works in mysterious ways, if it does exist, because there was nothing special about that day. You were on your way to work, right on time for once, so you were in no rush. You went the exact same route as every day; first the metro then a few minute walk to the bus and that drops you off right in front of your work building. The walk from the metro to the bus stop is pretty; the short, faded buildings have a certain charm and atmosphere, their old elegance reminding you of a time long gone.

You adjusted your big red scarf that might have been just a little too warm for the day, your eyes grazed over the houses. As interesting as they are, after a few months of walking by them, the view became quite monotone and the walk itself isn’t particularly fascinating on its own. Today’s walk, however, is different. The soft music and gloomy grey clouds had you distracted enough that you would’ve never paid any mind to the small street that crossed the one you were walking on or where that street could lead to.

Not until you felt the unmissable, strong pull for the first time in your life, one that led you right down that street. As many before described it, you knew what it was right away. It was as compelling as it was undeniable, your soulmate was near you and you needed to find them. You might’ve been late for work if you missed your bus, but you couldn't care less about work right now. This was beyond curiosity or a want, there was simply no other option than to find them. Even if that meant exploring a narrow, run-down street, only to find the strangest looking man you’ve ever seen. Especially since you followed the pull to find him, to find the best and worst thing to ever happen to you. The day you met Gojo Satoru, you remember it all too well.

That day, more precisely the second your eyes met, presumably you aren't sure since he was in sunglasses, you felt a small tingling feeling on your wrist. Ever since, you have a counter on your left wrist, it counts how much time passed since you met your soulmate. It was strange at first, like a tattoo that was always changing. It’s hard to get used to knowing that this is your own skin. It’s a part of your body that is changing to show you how long it has been since you became whole. It is endearing for sure, but that doesn’t make it any less unusual.

2 weeks 4 days 5 hours 8 minutes 34 seconds

Satoru is... different. He is certainly unique in a way that nobody else is in your life, he would be even without him being your soulmate. His whole personality is kind of bizarre, it’s like he’s living in a completely different world. His humour is absurd and he seems to have absolutely no dignity, yet he’s so arrogant at the same time. That being said, you appreciate it, you find him funny and entertaining no matter what he does. Guess there must be something in this soulmate thing, because you just click. He can make you laugh until you cry just by talking about nothing in particular.

And he does that a lot, he talks about nothing whenever the conversation isn’t about you, which most of the time it is. He has a way of making you talk or maybe you are just all too eager to share, either way you always end up going on and on about something in your life. Your family, your friends, your hobbies, your work, anything and everything. You are pretty sure that he knows way too much about you for someone you met a little more than two weeks ago. But that’s how it's supposed to be, isn’t it? He is your soulmate, he should know more about you than anyone else and you about him.

Well, the other way it’s complicated. Technically you know a lot about him, you know his favourite spice girl, his favourite kind of particle and you even know how long he can hold his breath underwater. All trivial things, but you know little to nothing about his life. His friends or family, the work he does or even the reason why he constantly wears those weird sunglasses. He is wealthy, that was more than obvious from the very start. His tailored clothes, pricey cologne and luxury car did nothing to hide it, yet he said that he’s a teacher in a religious private school of all things.

You don’t want to distrust him already, he might just inherited his fortune, but he also said that he’s away on work trips a lot, which a teacher wouldn’t do. Despite your gut feeling of something being fishy, you choose to trust him. You’ve known him for a few weeks and you don’t want to start off the relationship by accusing him of lying. And even if he does lie he probably has a reason. You are his soulmate yes, but still a complete stranger right now.

Satoru is lovely, he really is. He looks handsome in his suit as he walks around to open the door for you like a gentleman. You know he isn’t even close to being one, but you appreciate the effort. He decided to take you out to an expensive restaurant to celebrate him coming back from a trip overseas. He even got you some more formal clothes for the occasion. You honestly couldn’t wait for him to come home, so this invitation made your whole week. As little as you still know about him as a person, he undeniably has a piece of your heart already. Even with his cocky attitude and unmatchable arrogance, he is as charming as it gets.

“I know I said it before but you look amazing, Angel.” He smiles when you get out of the car. “If you doubt me you can ask the gentleman across. He’s been staring at you for a while,” Satoru adds when he pulls you closer by the waist. His smile is more wolfish now, and you know he thrives off of being envied. That’s exactly why you made sure to clean up this well, even if he doesn’t need another ego boost, you want to do this for him.

“You can’t blame him for having a good taste, now can you?” You bicker back while you flash a smile at your admirer. God, this man is starting to rub off on you. He always makes you feel so empowered. Whenever you’re with him you feel like nobody can touch you; it’s a strange feeling, maybe it’s because of his attitude or evident wealth and in turn influence, but you can’t pinpoint one reason. Thankfully, you’re still way more down to earth than your companion, and everyone should absolutely be more grateful for that. The world would be on fire if you created as much chaos as your soulmate.

“Wine or champagne?” Your companion offers when you get seated on the top floor. The restaurant has the most amazing view of the cityscape, that coupled with the slightly dim lighting made the atmosphere flirty and romantic. You certainly feel like Gojo chose this restaurant for a reason.

“Champagne. We’re celebrating, aren’t we?” you suggest without any kind of shyness. You’re finally financially stable and you’re going to enjoy it. When you look into his eyes you can almost see the hearts. It really seems like Gojo Satoru loves bold people. And spending money...

1 month 2 weeks 5 days 13 hours 25 minutes 21 seconds

“Jeez Toru, there are still people around,” you chuckle when you see how he looks at you. The light blue of his eyes contrasts the deep dark of the sky, but right now you swear that you can see the stars shine in them. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but your future as well – one big adventure as you grow old together. He laughs with you but he doesn’t stop staring – to be completely honest you weren’t expecting him to. This man has never once in his life cared about decency, and you don’t need more than a month to know that.

When you finally get to the car he opens the back door and gently pushes you in. You don’t resist it: you hop in, you move even further to let Gojo get in as well. He really doesn’t care how obvious you are with this. Everyone in the parking lot must think that you are acting like horny teenagers and being wildly inappropriate. And they would be right, you are doing both of those things. Is this any of their business though? If you aren’t disturbing the peace then they can’t really say anything, can they?

Without a second of hesitation he pulls you to straddle him once the door is closed. His hands run up your side and then pull you even closer. He kisses you and you can still taste the sweetness of the dessert on him. He always manages to catch you off guard. You expect him to kiss you like a man starved but he doesn’t. It’s slow, contrary to the rush he was in to get here. He takes his time, and you feel so alive your heart all but aches.

“Where are we going this time, Satoru?” you ask with a smile as you put your bag on the back seat of his SUV. He came to pick you for another one of your drives around the country, where you end up completely lost.

“Are you ready for the adventure of your life?” His smile is suspiciously wide while he looks at you. What does he have up his sleeve this time? You start to feel giddy, his sweet attitude can make you forget anything, especially your bad mood and doubt in him.

“Aye aye, Captain. Just give me the keys.” You giggle as you hold out your hand for them.

“What? Why? Wanna drive, Baby?” He looks genuinely surprised as he peeks at you above his sunglasses. ‘Jeez, his eyes are so pretty’– you think as you get completely lost in them. After a long second you snap out of it, this is exactly the problem: he can even distract you in the middle of a conversation. You shake your head a little as if you were trying to clear it and go back to the topic at hand. Thankfully, Gojo chooses to ignore your little technical break.

“Yes, after the last time I don’t trust you with driving,” you smirk at him as you finally have something to tease him about too. Almost not stopping at a red light nonetheless, you can’t even fathom how you ended up distracting him enough to do that. You waited so long for revenge – he teased you when you tripped and almost fell in the cinema spilling some popcorn. Or when you didn’t notice a biker behind you and he had to pull you out of the way. Or one of the many other times you did anything remotely clumsy.

“You’re so mean,” he pouts like a little kid, but he complies. He tosses you the keys, and you try to catch them, but instead you stumble and promptly drop them. You look at the damn keys with disbelief and you both laugh as you shamefully pick them up from the ground. You swear that Satoru did this on purpose while you look at the words on his keychain.

“‘Fuck the patriarchy’, eh? Funny and not bigoted? I really hit the jackpot, didn’t I?” you muse as you open the door and get in. Oh lord, this man drives like this? A meter from the steering wheel?

“Well, I won’t deny the obvious,” he winks at you as he watches you set the mirror from the passenger seat. You did it now, didn’t you? You have to pay full attention to the road while this handsome clown does whatever he wants. Which will probably be annoying you, he has a bad habit of doing that. Despite, you can’t be mad at him at all, he is just too cute for that.

The first thing you feel is a pair of chapped lips on cheeks, and as your eyes sleepily flutter open, the first thing you see is your boyfriend’s face. The white haired man is leaning over you leaving soft kisses on your face to wake you up. You are certainly a lot happier starting your morning like this than getting tickled awake like the last time.

“Good morning, Gorgeous,” he hums as he drags his, for once, warm hand along your side. From the top of your ribcage to the side of your hips, where it settles only for his thumbs to draw little patterns on the front of your hips. His touch is familiar, it became familiar through all those days and nights you spent together. Yet waking up in his house, not yours or not in a hotel, was new.

He always made you feel like your relationship was an affair – he didn’t introduce you to any of his friends or family and he never took you home. Of course, you thought he had a spouse or partner already, Occam’s razor exists for a reason. Being soulmates isn’t inherently romantic, he could have a whole family with a spouse he doesn’t want to leave for all you know.

Last night however, he took you home, to his home, not to a fancy hotel like he usually does when you are on a trip. A penthouse at the top floor with a view, it is as flashy as you expected from Gojo Satoru. It’s definitely not the kind of house where kids would be running around. Rather, it’s a typical man cave – you can’t really see a lot of signs of anyone living here, especially not two or more people. You still have some doubts about the whole thing, but you’re just happy you’re making progress. This gives you hope, maybe if you give him time he will let you in.

“When you wake me up like this, how could it not be a good morning?” you chuckle sleepily before he has the chance to shut you up with a kiss, which he does right after you finish your sentence. You stroke his messy hair, as if you were trying to flatten the cowlick on the top of his head.

“Someone woke up on the right side of the bed, didn’t they?” He references the “fight” you had last night. You both wanted the same side of the bed and he somehow lost. He flops down pulling you on top of him with a charming smile. His hands shift from your hips to the side of your thighs, they never stop even for a second.

“I fought for this side, so you bet I’m going to enjoy it. It’s a lot comfier knowing that I earned it,” you murmur into his chest. Gojo can try all he wants; he won't be able to get you more energized this early. In fact it's the opposite, you're starting to blink longer and longer, with his arms around you and with the steady rhythm of his heartbeat you are half asleep already.

“Tired, Baby?” he coos in a low voice. Not even he has the heart to disturb you when you look so adorable clinging to him. He knows that you had a rough week with a lot of late nights. He hates seeing you tired or sad and at this point he would do almost anything for you. You brought a lot of sunshine to his life, the kind of light he doesn’t deserve. He feels like it’s so fragile, so easily breakable; he needs to keep you in the dark, he’s not willing to taint you too. In the end isn’t the dark where the light shines the brightest? He knows that you have doubts, rightfully so. And still he can’t bring himself to face the music, not yet, maybe not ever. Gojo Satoru can’t be honest with you but he can stay relatively still for another hour or two.

9 months 3 weeks 4 days 11 hours 57 minutes 11 seconds

“Sorry, Honey, I really can’t make it. I’m really busy.” You listen to him cancel on you the second time this week, both times about an hour before the meeting. You are glad that you would’ve stayed in your house to have dinner, because you honestly couldn’t take it if you had gotten ready for nothing. Well, not like you can take it this way, but the effect would be a lot worse. You look at the really nice dinner you made. You had a terrible week and this date with Satoru was supposed to make it better. The project you’ve been working on for months got called off a week before its launch. You spent so much time and energy on it, so many sleepless nights and it just got cut completely.

“This is the second time this week, Satoru. You could’ve warned me sooner at least, so I don’t spend my whole evening cooking for nothing.” You know he doesn't do it on purpose but that doesn’t make you feel any better.

“I’m sorry but you have a tasty dinner, isn’t that cool?” He tries to cheer you up absentmindedly.

“Yeah, I could’ve had instant ramen, it doesn’t take more than 10 minutes. And that way I wouldn’t have spent hours of my free time cooking something I don’t particularly like, because I wanted to make my terrible boyfriend happy,” you double down; you are upset and you won’t just let him hurt you again without saying anything.

“I’m sorry, Babe. I’ll make it up to you,” he promises but you have none of it. You don’t want another expensive gift, no amount of diamonds and luxury items can make this up. You especially don’t want him to guilt trip you into thinking you are the problem, making you feel like an unreasonably clingy partner.

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault. I know you don't want to cancel either,” you force yourself to give in, an argument is the last thing you need right now. You desperately hope that Gojo buys it because otherwise he will bother you about it until you can’t take it anymore.

“Yes, exactly, it's not my fault. You shouldn’t be mad at me,” he agrees with you and it takes all your willpower not to end the call right then and there.

“Bye, Satoru,” you force it out trying to keep up your peaceful façade, but honestly you just want to punch him right now.

“Hey, don’t go, I’m just kidding,” he tries to ‘reason’ with you, but you have heard enough of him for today.

“It’s okay you said that you’re busy and I don’t want to take up your time. We’ll talk later. Bye.”

You are just tired. You love your work, you really do, however that doesn’t make it less draining. Particularly with all this emotional stress on top of the weeks of pressure it makes you want to scream. Probably you just need a good night’s sleep, some chocolate and a good cry to let it all out.

You are almost tempted to call Satoru back and tell him to fuck off for canceling on you now. The only thing holding you back is the fact that you don’t want to tell him about the project failing. You want him to comfort you but you don’t feel like you can open up to him. You crave to share your feelings and your thoughts, yet the fact that he doesn’t do the same makes it uncomfortable to depend on him. He just feels inhumanly perfect, it’s making you deeply ashamed of your own failures.

It makes you feel like you are whiny and dramatic. Sure, you are an emotional person and you’ve always been, but you like to think that you are reasonable. Even if your emotional side has always been something that you have constantly been made to feel bad about. ‘You should just suck it up and deal with it.’ You tried. It doesn’t work. It only makes things worse, but you’ve been pushed to the point where you can’t cry in front of anyone without shame burning in your chest.

It’s better when you’re alone though, so you let it all out. The cold of the kitchen floor is slowly seeping through you until you become a shivering, sobbing mess. You wrap your arms around yourself trying to gather some warmth, but your embrace just isn’t enough to make you feel better. Quite the opposite. You are alone and suffering, just like you always are.

11 months 3 weeks 5 days 14 hours 23 minutes 44 seconds

“Is everything alright, Toru?” you ask as you walk with your partner hand in hand, a gesture so small, yet it makes your heart skip a beat. You’re even willing to forgive him for dragging you out this late. You rarely ever have these moments, as Satoru isn’t really willing to touch you in public. Well, it’s not like he deliberately avoids ever touching you, but he doesn’t do anything that could be taken as a sign that you two are close; not romantically, not platonically. Which is a huge switch from the way he acts in private, though this part isn’t all that surprising. Many people are uncomfortable with PDA, but not with simple affection behind closed doors.

The shocking part is that he doesn’t give an absolute damn about anyone. Gojo Satoru is not shy by any means. On the rare occasion when he does show affection in public he isn’t bothered at all. He isn’t uncomfortable with showing you love, that much is obvious – something else is up. You can’t help but be curious, he is hiding too many things in this relationship. You don’t want to know everything about him, you don’t need that kind of codependency. You just want some honesty, just anything to make your trust in him valid.

Right now there’s no mutual trust to build this relationship on. The foundation for it is your effort and the fact that you are soulmates. This all is just heartbreaking for you, a soulmate is supposed to make you feel significant. You are supposed to be soulmates because you are special to each other, not the other way around.

“Nothing, nothing. I just saw some squirrels in the trees. Actually, your shoelaces are untied. You should sit down on the bench and tie them!” he blurts out and starts to steer you towards the bench.

“And while you do that I’ll be right back.” He tries to dip but you grab his sleeve to stop him.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?! You show up at my house at almost midnight, you take me to a creepy ass park and you want to fucking leave me here with the worlds flimsiest public light as my only company?” You are at your wits’ end. You want to scream. Honestly another word from Gojo and you probably will.

“Yeah, what was I thinking? Let’s go home~” he says while he slaps his forehead like he just realized how weird it is. He then proceeds to grab you and, without any effort or strain, throws you over his shoulder.

“Have you completely lost it?! You better put me down, Satoru. I’m fucking serious, it’s not funny nor will it ever be. I’m not a sack of potatoes, you caveman.” you protest the treatment, but he just laughs. Which makes you even more mad, to the point where you are speechless.

“Don’t be so snappy~ I would love it if you carried me like this too, or in your arms like a princess. Yes we should do that sometimes.” His attempt at lightening the mood is futile, you are already fuming in silence, refusing to answer him. Your patience ran out completely, you are tired and you only said yes to this outing because it’s him. You know you shouldn’t take this so seriously, but this describes your relationship so painfully well. You are helpless while he does whatever he wants.

The short walk over to the car is just enough for it to settle in, he doesn’t care at all. He doesn’t care that you are angry and confused, he doesn't care you don’t find this amusing or enjoyable. At this point you are so far in your own head that you don't even question if a single blow of strong wind in the calm night is weird or out of place. Gojo is extremely thankful for this, and for the fact that you can’t hear the whimpering and screaming as the curse’s body twists in itself. Although the treeline is quite far he didn’t want you to go anywhere near a curse. He isn’t ready to open that particular can of worms.

When you get to the car and he puts you down, you don’t say a word, you don’t even look at him. You just wrap your arms around yourself to shield you from the chilly air of the night. Or at least you try to make it look like that’s the case, in reality you just try to hold it together, try to soothe yourself so your tears don’t spill. Everything over these past months just built up and the dam holding everything back has way too many cracks to not let it seep out.

You open the door and sit in the passenger seat, trying to get this over with so you can get home and have a proper cry alone. You don’t need soothing, you need to let this out or the whole thing will explode in both of your faces. Sadly, Satoru notices everything, especially if it's you. He puts his hands on your knees and turns you towards him – you are now sitting in the car with your legs hanging in the open door. The white haired man squats down to meet your glossy eyes as you stare intently at the ground.

“Baby? What’s wrong? Can you look at me?” he gently pleads with you, trying his very best not to break you. He fails, quite miserably might I add, as the tears start to roll down your face silently and you feel the shame accompany every single drop. So you hide your face in your hands. You refuse to let him see, you want to shut him out, he doesn’t deserve to see you vulnerable if he treats you like this.

“I didn’t want to make you cry, Love. I didn’t think it would upset you this much. Please forgive me,” he soothes you with the most amount of panic in his voice you’ve ever heard.

“No, you don’t understand and you never will. You don’t want to understand or put in the work to make this relationship function like it is supposed to. It’s not just about today, it’s about every single time when you forget that I’m a person with my own life and feelings and not a pretty little doll that exists for your entertainment,” you sob into your hands as his own caress your thighs trying to calm you.

“You can’t do this, you can’t toy with me like this. If you’re not willing to care about me or love me I just can’t continue anymore.” As you finish your sentence you break down completely, even the thought of breaking up puts you into a wild panic and your sobs become uncontrollable. Your words hit Satoru like a brick and he feels his heart drop. He knows it would be for the best but he just can’t let you go.

“Please don’t say that. I love you and I’ll try harder. It’s just hard, I don’t know how to let you in, but I want to, I swear I do.” Satoru begs, he would feel ashamed but the need to stop your sobs is way bigger than his pride. He has to keep you by his side, and he will do anything to stop you from leaving. You are positive that your ears are setting you up. Love? He loves you? He catches you so off guard that your sobs calm down a bit. You lower your hands from your face, to observe his with your puffy, red eyes, trying to find out if he really means it.

Satoru takes this opportunity to caress your cheeks with his hand wiping away the stray tears that still roam your face. His gaze is soft and careful, there’s a feeling in it, you just aren’t sure if it’s love. Despite that you choose to believe him, because you want to believe him.

“I love you too,” you answer as you rub your sore eyes. He stands up and pulls you along, only for him to sit down in your seat and with you in his lap. He gently makes you rest on his chest and embraces you. His hug is warm and secure, exactly what you need right now.

“How about we go home, put on a movie and cuddle? How does that sound, my love?” he hums tenderly. He slowly rocks back and forth waiting for you to completely cool down. Seems like this time he managed to get you to stay, but it’s only a matter of time before his words won’t be enough without actions.

Finished the story of Psychonauts 2 last week! It was really good. Like, REALLY, really good. I don’t have anything profound to say, but here are my thoughts if you wanna read ‘em. Obviously there are SPOILERS BELOW, so click at your own risk if you haven’t played into post-game! (FWIW, I HIGHLY recommend playing this game as spoiler-free as possible. And play the original, while you’re at it!).

Here’s a pretty tame spoiler that I don’t think anyone will mind me sharing though: RAZ IS A CUTE. JUST LOOK AT HIM:

Things I appreciated:

Raz asking permission before entering almost every brain

PET THE GOATS

BOBBY DANCE

Getting to see Whispering Rock a couple of different ways! Actually, the theme of showing events from multiple perspectives (and the different forms of trauma resulting from certain events) was really good.

Raz helping the Psychic Seven help themselves. The game is so gentle with these old damaged hippies. SO GOOD.

QUEEPIE AND FRAZIE and just… all the Aquatos, man. What a group.

The family being given space to grieve together (important) before yeeting their middle boy into the whirlpool (badass). And them still having a lot to unpack/figure out post-game. It’s complicated, man! Of COURSE they wouldn’t have it all figured out yet!

Larry and Pam! LOL.

SAM BOOLE, WTH. Best dialogue tree in the game??? XDDDD

WHOMST in-universe put the graffiti on the back side of the funicular? Oleander?? :O

I have not finished the Scavenger Hunt yet, so idk if Raz gets his clothes back. I’m betting not *shakes psychic fist at Norma* XD

Powers and combat were all really cool!

ANIMATION! ALSO!! REALLY!!! GOOD!!!!!

I’M STILL LOSING MY DANG MIND OVER RAZ’S ARCHETYPE, good god. Double Fine, you mad geniuses, how DARE you stage a Zim/Gir reunion in the year 2021??? If anyone has ever equipped the pin that mutes that delightful little paper lad, I cannot emphasize enough how dead you are to me XD

I thought Cassie sounded a little like Mona Marshall?? The credits proved me wrong, but there were several moments I thought “…maybe??” (I have a much easier time ID’ing her when she’s playing a boyish character than a woman, whoops!)

So much symbolism in the brains! “Subtle” is maybe the wrong word to use, but between some of the throwaway dialogue, the different subsections in each, and the different set designs, most of the mental states just felt more… complex? nuanced? than the first game.

I don’t actually know if I could pick a favorite level! Compton’s Cookoff was definitely the most unique (I would have appreciated the option to try the food challenges again, but “getting the best time” is obviously NOT THE POINT, so kudos to the game making it about the story/character and not about the player here!), and I really enjoyed the paper-and-book-aesthetic of Cassie’s! Bob’s boss battle was one of the most poignant, but the 60’s psychedelic aesthetic and Nona’s different layers were really creative and fun. I also liked that we got a few different styles for Raz (especially in the 2D sections!) but I always could have used more!

On that note though, CENSORS! IN!! SEQUINS!!! XDDDDDDD

THE MUSIC!!! My husband and I JUST realized that Peter McConnell scored the Sly Cooper series as well, so we have newfound RESPECT and AWE for this guy’s ability to write absolutely fantastic music in so many distinct styles and genres. Both of the songs w/ lyrics also slap.

The return/spiritual successor of Goggalor (Pootie-lor???). Amazing. Incredible. Did not expect it, loved it for how narratively important it was. The ending in general just made me quite emotional.

The post-game conversation between Truman and Lilli. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it absolutely RADIATES Tim Schafer dad/real-life daughter energy.

The Grulovia level was a really interesting way to introduce a villain. Based on every level previous, I was actually prepared for the game to offer some sympathetic facet of Gristol (such as finding out the ride was something he had been conditioned to think from a lifetime of hearing an idealized version of the story from his parents, and it was somewhere he would go to rationalize his actions despite not really believing them… or something), but obviously the longer you spend there, the more you realize it’s something he constructed himself, and he is actually delusional (er, delugional) about Maligula and his family’s legacy. Really sets up an interesting parallel with Raz, in a way. Gristol’s mental state is essentially that of a child… but Raz is an ACTUAL child, and demonstrates more maturity, empathy and understanding than both Gristol the kid (see the Mental Vaults) and Gristol the adult. Kind of amazing he was able to fool a whole building full of psychics for as long as he did (and I guess he was a fine mail clerk too??), but tl;dr I like how the game’s “true” villain is the only one who is unable to change/experience any sort of remorse for his actions (maybe the jury’s still out on Dr. Loboto though XD)

A little concerned that Hollis said Gristol’s fate was to be “experimentation,” and only corrected to say “therapy” when questioned by Raz. UM. This game does make it part of its point showing us the flaws in the Psychonauts, both as an organization and as individuals, leaving them in a bit of a mortally grey area (who are clearly mismanaging their resources if they have a whole Motherlobe of agents doing who-knows-what and their primary source of funding is running summer camps for psychic children). I am… definitely concerned about what Hollis said (as well as Otto’s assertion that he would be picking up where the Seven left off!), but I guess I can accept it as part of the theme that no one and nothing is perfect. Maybe that’s sequel fodder though??? (hey, I can dream about Psychonauts 3, can’t I? XD)

Genuinely though, I’m just… SO PROUD OF RAZ. He’s going to be such a good agent someday!!!*cries forever over one begoggled psychic acrobat son boy*

6, 7 for end-of-year fic asks

woohoo, thank you! Fair warning, this is going to be long.

6. What's your favourite piece of dialogue you wrote this year? Oh god, I don't know. I can't remember XD I am terrible at this sort of question, because the answer is always either 'all of it' or 'I can't remember off the top of my head' XDDDD (and when I do find something, it's invariably far too long for a tumblr post XD ) Hmmmm. The twins are always fun to write, but actually, I think I'm rather proud of this, from See This Storm Through, in which Legolas was not there when Bard died, but sort-of gets to say his goodbyes anyway:

Somewhere in the depths of the night, I find myself suddenly, unaccountably, in the streets of Dale, underneath the oak tree that Tilda calls the Hope Tree, and Bard is there, leaning against the tree’s trunk, one hand spread flat against the bark. He looks as he did when I first met him, upon the lake shore after the dragon had destroyed his home, and for a moment I am confused.

It’s all right, lad, he says, I understand. You’ve your own life to live, and in any case, I knew you were there, your spirit at least. You spent longer in those halls than I ever did, you were there in every corner. For your father, and for me.

“But I wanted to see you,” I hear myself saying, “I wanted to say goodbye.”

I know, lad. But you’re seeing me now, aren’t you? And you already said goodbye, when you left the last time.

“Sigrid said the same thing,” I admit. “But I didn’t mean it that way, I didn’t mean goodbye for ever.”

Of course you didn’t, he says, and there is a smile in his voice. Nobody ever does. But sometimes, that’s just the way it works out. But - you know I know. And I hope that helps.

“Not very much,” I hear myself saying, my words carried away on the wind, and everything dissolves into smoke and mist, the faintest sound of Bard’s warm laughter, you’ll be all right, lad, just hold onto those you love, because they love you more than anything.

And then I am awake, staring into the darkness, my father’s slow, even breathing in my ear. I could have sworn that Bard was there, with me, only a foot or two away - and now I know that he is not, he is gone, and the sorrow is almost more than I can bear. I roll over and bury my face in the pillow, swallowing down the sobs that rise in my throat, that shake my shoulders, and eventually the storm passes and I am calmed, breathless, feeling wrung out but suddenly lighter, easier, and Bard’s words from my dream echoing in my ears, you’ll be all right, lad, just hold onto those you love. He never called me ‘lad’, not in life, but somehow it feels right, and I am comforted.

7. What’s your favourite piece of description or narration? Ditto - I've written so blasted much (and I go on at such length, and most of my fics are mostly dialogue XD ) that it's really hard to pick just one piece that's of a suitable length for a tumblr post XD Here's Legolas being introspective in The Stars and the Trees and Dreams of the Sea:

But now it is all over, the war has been won and Middle-Earth is safe at last. Aragorn and Arwen are wed and firmly installed as the rulers of Gondor, Faramir and Éowyn are settling in Ithilien, as am I, the Periannath and the Rohirrim have gone home, the last of my people in Middle-Earth are beginning to take ship to the West. But I am lingering, as a few others are including my father, and some of the citizens of the Woodland Realm have come to join me in our little colony beneath the trees of Ithilien, for as many years as we can stay here before the call of the Sea - or that of the forests - grows too strong for us to resist. I have made a promise to Aragorn and to Arwen, that I will stay until he has passed beyond this world, and that I will comfort her in her grief and see her to her rest, if she wishes me to do so. Besides, I could not leave, not yet, not when I have so recently found a friendship as strong as any that is spoken of in song and story, in legends of old. Gimli has a realm of his own to worry about, but we visit each other, and we continue the lifelong enjoyment of getting to know each other, and all is well. I feel the Sea-longing, but I have found a way to quiet it, and I can wait, for now, there will be time enough for me to sail later, when all of the friends I have made here are gone.

And for now, I have plenty of time for solitude; my new people are arriving in ones and twos and small groups, not all of them choosing to take up the opportunity my father is allowing them straight away. I know that some of them are coming to Ithilien to see how they get on away from our home, to weigh up the decision of whether to sail West or to live on here in Middle-Earth, dwelling beneath the trees for ever; and that is their decision to make. I still do not know which way my father will decide, and I am trying not to think about it, for much as I know that I will sail, when the time comes, I think he is afraid that he will not find what he needs in Valinor, and that leaving our home will wound him gravely, perhaps too much for him to bear, for all that my mother may await him in Valinor, released from Mandos’ Halls. He has only recently regained it in its full glory, after all, and he is engaged in restoring it to what it should have been, all these long centuries.

And I am not at all sure that I can bear to lose him again, after such a short time in which we have come to understand each other after spending so long estranged. So I think I can understand very well how he feels.

@spiced-wine-fic also asked that one, and for 1, 4 and 8 - thank you! :D

1. What’s your personal favourite thing you wrote this year? Aargh. One thing you have probably learned about me by now is that I am constitutionally incapable of picking a favourite anything. Although currently I think it's a toss-up between Wrath and Ruin and a kiss in the cold and dark (I should have kissed you that summer), both of which were a little unexpected. Although I love everything I've written. :D

4. Which of your fics this year was most successful? In terms of cumulative numbers of kudos/comments/bookmarks it has to be My Heart Is An Empty Vessel, just because it's so damn long. But in terms of speed-of-accrual of hits, bookmarks and kudos, especially compared to length, it's Do I Have To?, a Hawkeye TV oneshot which I banged out immediately after watching the final episode, and which went over 150 kudos in the space of 48 hours and 1k hits in not much longer. Obviously it's a larger fandom, and the fic was very current at the time of posting - it slowed down noticeably within about three days and now it gets about the same rate of kudos as my more popular Tolkien stuff, which is to say one or two every couple of days. Honourable mention to All I Want Is You and All I Want (for Christmas) Is You for having - I think - the most individual regular commenters (about five or six, whereas Empty Vessel has four or five, so it's only by a nose) :D

8. Which fic this year was most fun to write? Another tough one! I can tell you which were not fun, and that is my two TRSB pieces, which were like pulling teeth for some reason, although I like them well enough now they're bloody done XD I enjoyed most of the others, and I particularly liked setting the twins loose in Dale in See This Storm Through. I also had a lot of fun with a kiss in the cold and dark, mainly because it developed and grew so unexpectedly. And I really enjoyed writing Thranduil sending himself up in Hilda's Grandma's Special Secret Recipe (and a little bit, on the same subject, in See This Storm Through).

heeee, thank you! I really ought to learn to pick favourites XDDDD

Anyone else fancy making me squirm by asking me to remember what I wrote last year and then pick one? (btw it is never too late to ask me ask game questions, even if you come across my post a few hours or a couple of days later...I love answering them, just specify which set of questions you're picking from in case I've done some others :D )
