What can I get flagged on here for ??? Like. Lets be honest one or two of you are actually reading these. And if you opened that last one that was hella long, even less. So like. This is going to be as long or longer than that one.
Lets all be cool here. Lets not make rash decisions and make assumptions about what I'm going to talk about here tonight. Because...I'm fucking falling apart and I'm tired and I don't have anyone to talk to.
I don't know what to do and I don't know how to cope with how I feel most of the time. Like??? How do people do emotions? I can't. I don't have time. And like, fer shure - 'you have to schedule it or it's going to come out whenever you don't want it to...' but????????
I'm always catering to people. People at work literally LITERALLY call me mom. Because if they need something they know that I'm going to have it and I'm going to help them and that I'm going to be there for them whenever they need me, even if it's not convenient. Then there's my literal mother. She's twice my age and can't do anything for herself. I did her taxes, I do her laundry, I wash her dishes, I cook her meals. She's able bodied. She's just lazy and won't do it and then she makes me feel guilty whenever I don't want to or just don't do it or forget to do it. So then whenever I do have time to myself, I'm trying to do things that I like to do that I never have time for otherwise. I want to watch movies that I never had the chance to watch growing up because I was busy mothering a parent that didn't want to be a parent. I want to play cutesy video games that make me feel like I'm part of something. I want to play Fortnite and Stardew Valley with my friends because that's the only time I talk to people who aren't my mother and aren't the people that I work with. Not saying that I don't want to talk to the people at work - but they don't talk to me outside of work so?
Which leads us to the Guy At Work (TM). It's always going to end up being about him. But I think I skipped everything about him in the last super long post and mentioned in the tags that I wanted to touch on this a little more. This entire next section about GAW might make me sound entitled and like a brat. But...I'll wear the shoes.
Here's this human. We hit it off right away. I've worked with him for about a year now, okay. And within the first week, we were talking and acting like we had known each other forever. He literally LITERALLY tells me I'm basically his only friend and that I'm such a good friend and this and that. But. He only talks to me when we're at work. And half of the time we're either getting in trouble with our supervisor or we're arguing. There's no way we're actually best friends. I don't know. We both know more about the other than we should. But. That's not really all a friend is because if it were everyone would be my BFF because I can't shut my fucking mouth. But it's the level of comfort. For sure.
I'm never going to be this honest again. So. Buckle up babies.
I'm not saying that I deserve to have him in my life. Because honestly I'm not sure that I do. i think that he's a great person. he absolutely has his faults and I'm not sure, but in a super gross and I can't believe I'm saying this in a place that's not my head - but I love him. LMAO. Like, probably not in a romantic way because I don't know him like that. But I do love him. He means so much to me that it's disgusting. I don't have friends and it's really hard for me to make and keep friends. But I feel about him the way I've felt about...I'm sitting here and I wanted to say the same as i felt about E, or Meggy, or??? But no. I never felt like I could be this open with either of them. Then it leads back to Dusty. Everything fucking leads back to him. I feel like I did when we were first friends. Before everything happened. The freeness and the openness and being able to just...be? Like are there some things I don't tell him - absolutely. For example, he doesn't know that I have a crippling crush on him, because he's too dumb to see it. And he doesn't know that I would quit my job if it meant he'd grow a set and ask me out.
I'm so scared of losing him. I hate my job and it's been stressing me out so much lately. In the past week, I left work early one day and took Friday off completely because I couldn't stop crying. I told him I was thinking about looking for a new job and I swear to God he looked like he was about to cry. But? Is it manipulation? That's what I don't understand. Jake was a manipulator. And I get the same vibes off of GAW sometimes.
Fuck. Like. Okay. This could be the autism, the adhd, the trauma response. I don't know. And because I never know where the feelings are coming from I never know if they are legitimate or what. BUT. I think i'd literally do anything he asked me to do. I would do whatever it took to keep him in my life, even if that meant staying at a job that I don't agree with their policies and politics. Even if it meant I would be miserable, because as long as I get to see him and interact with him - I don't feel as bad. When I first started working in his department, it was supposed to be temporary. I was working for a horrible woman and with horrible women. And during the last week that I was in their department, i was literally googling the least painful ways to die, how to write a will, how to get my shit together for last rites. Because I didn't want to do it anymore. I didn't want to do anything anymore. Then, like I mentioned, within the first week of knowing him, I didn't feel like anymore. Within the first month, I stopped feeling like the only way out was to kill myself. Now, I've had my ups and downs and right now I'm really not doing all that well - but in the bigger picture, he's made me realize that there's more out there and that it's not that bad. Would I tell him that? I don't know. Probably. I think I have. I don't know how seriously he takes me. I know that I'm not his type romantically, which is okay. I wish that wasn't the case and I wish that he liked me that way. But again, it's okay. I wish I was. People at work tell me that he looks at me 'that way' - but, I don't see it. I'm fat? My hair is always bad. I have a double chin that doesn't stop. My side profile is weak. But we're not here to discuss why I'm not good enough physically. Are we? Maybe. Fuck it's my blog I can say whatever I want about myself.
Let me get readjusted because I'm losing myself a little here. A small recap. I'm tired and I don't know what to do with myself. I have unhealthy obsessions with people that probably aren't good for me in the long run and I know it and I don't know what to do about that either. I'm so afraid of losing GAW that I'm willing to just stay stuck. Even though we both know that is probably the worst thing for me. But I'm so tired of losing people.
Okay. Let me continue.
yeah. pretty much. after ten years E doesn't talk to me anymore. i could try to message her, but i'm tired of trying to keep it going because i did try. i truly did. meggy only talks to me sometimes and its usually because she's fucked up her relationship and doesn't know what to do and thinks that i do. i don't have anybody. everyone who was friends with me at one point...where are they now? yes. it's a two way street. but i tried. i always try. and i get tired of trying. i know that he wouldn't have anything to do with me if i didn't work with him. i know that when i quit, he'll message me once or twice a month until our birthdays - then he'd stop. and i'd have to start over. i'd have to try to decide if it was worth it to be open and vulnerable again. i'd have to detach from this unattainable relationship i've made up in my head. and that all seems hard and like it's going to hurt. but it already hurts. he used to message me outside of work. i don't know what happened. he doesn't anymore. he hasn't in a while. not in about 2 months. which...is fine? but it hurts. everything hurts and i don't know what i've done or if i've done something. i don't know if i come on too strong or what. am i desperate for a friend to stay. does he know that.
maybe he isn't a good person? he talks about women like their meat. he made a comment about dusty that didn't sit right. he's a one track mind. he doesn't take advice from people unless it's what he wants to hear.
he's tall and has nice hair.
have i made him more than he is. yes. likely. very likely. but do i still like him. even after i sit down and think about all of this. yes. gross.
it's me, i'm the problem.
shit.
shit.
you know this isn't even what this post was supposed to be about. I was going to come in here and tell you guys that i don't know what to do with my emotions and i want to cry but i'm too busy and i don't know what to do and i've been cutting my thigh, but i'm not even good at that because i don't have anything sharp except for a pair of tweezers and that i feel like i deserve to hurt worse than i do and i'm glad that it burns as much as it does whenever i put pants on and i feel it. and i want it to hurt more because i don't think that i deserve anything nice and there's not much of a point to living right now because everything is too expensive and everything is too scary and everything is too much and i'm going to die in the house that i grew up in because i can't afford a car and i can't afford a house and my mother is probably happy about all of this because she never wanted me to amount to anything she just needed a backup kid in case the first one wouldn't take care of her when she got old and once she moved out she knew that was going to be the case so she started ruining everything i had and everything i worked for. she didn't push for me to go to school, she didn't push for me to get a better job, she didn't push for me to get my license or a car, she still doesn't. in fact she opposes all of it. she has never pushed for me to get into a relationship. when i was dating she was mad about it and she hated everyone i went on dates with. she's trying to make it to where i can never leave and that i don't know how to be a functioning adult and that scares me and that bothers me and that makes me feel even worse about my life. we only have one bathroom in our house and i was taking a shower today and i was upset and i was like okay cool - i have some down time and i can take a lil cry break while i'm just standing in here. and all i could hear was her laughing in the next room and that's such a poetic parallel. you know? like i'm fucking falling apart and i'm too worried about everyone else to tell them all the while they're just chuffed having a good time and not worrying about anything at all. fuck i'm tired. i'm just so tired.
So. TLDR: I don't know how to deal with my emotions and instead of trying to figure out a healthy method of dealing with it - I'm doing stupid shit instead and i need to have a good healthy cry, but i can't.
any who i'm going to go play this stupid coral valley game to see if it makes me feel better. my entire farm is full of trash and i'm tired of cleaning it up.

Stood Up
You (Y/N) get stood up from a date and Kaminari decides to do something about it.
Pairing: Kaminari/F!Reader
Contains: Fluff, Flirty Denki, Established BakuSquad Friendship
Warnings: 18+ Below the cut, Minors DNI! Swearing, Electro-Stim, Overstimulation, use of pet names (cuddle bug & cutie), oral (F receiving), consensual recording
A/N: Well, here we are with the third in my Stood Up series. There is also Bakugo & Kirishima if you're interested. This one took me way too long and it's also my first time writing Kaminari at length. I hope you all like it :)
Word Count Starting Below: 2,461
You slipped your foot into the silver heels you had picked out. Something a little fancier since this was a first date after all and you wanted to make a lasting impression. Not only that but this was your first first date in a while. Being a Pro Hero made life busy and dating difficult.
Practically the entire day leading up to this very moment revolved around you either getting ready or babbling with excitement to your closest friends.
An alert chimed on your phone with a text from your date, a smile sliding onto your face expecting to read some message about how they were on their way and that they'd see you soon, but that wasn't what you were met with.
Instead, it was a screenshot of your Instagram page, multiple of them actually, all of you and the ridiculous photos you took with your friends but mostly with one Denki Kaminari. The most recent of which was from a tea shop he met you at just earlier that day so you could show him the shoes for your date.
The message below was simple and more than enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth, this isn't what I want to see when I'm supposed to be taking you out tonight. What, one date a day isn't enough? Why are you even dating? Does your blonde boyfriend know?
You giggled at what they were implying, quick to explain how these were all your friends, they had been since high school! They are people you spent what little free time you had with. Especially Denki, your best friend since you were 15!
That joy you felt started dissipating within the next few messages. You hadn't even had a first date and they were already jealous, and that was something you didn't have room for in your life. So, you slipped the heels off your feet and put them directly back in the box to return when you had the time. Tight black jeans and fitted top were exchanged with a hoodie and sweats although your makeup and hair stayed done, you didn't have the energy to undo your hard work.
Instead, you slid back into your computer chair, your headset snuggly back on your ears and before you notified everyone you were back online, you took a moment listening to the chatter of your friends.
"Shitty Hair! Fuckin' pay attention!"
"Yeah, man! We're getting slaughtered over here!"
"Less yelling at Kiri! More shooty shooty!"
"All of you are hopeless..."
Eijiro chuckled out an apology that was accompanied by a lighter giggle also coming from his mic. "Think this is gonna be my last round for a bit, guys."
"You're so fuckin' whipped." Bakugo scoffed, before screaming profanities.
"Is it whipped if I'm the one who's wanting to get her into bed though?"
You clicked your mic back on then. "Hey, remember last week when Kats forgot his push to talk so we all heard him getting head and we party whipped because someone couldn't focus?"
"You better shut the hell up right fucking now!"
Everyone else roared with laughter. "Yeah! At least I have the decency to mute myself!"
"Hey, wait a sec, why are you online, Y/N!" Denki noted, "You should have already left!"
You screenshot your messages to the group chat because it was far easier than just explaining the ordeal.
"Cute shoes." Eijiro and Kyoka commented at the same time.
There was a lull as their game ended and the messages were read.
"Ya don't need 'em if they're gonna have their head so far up their ass like this."
"I agree." Hanta chimed in. "They're not worth your time."
"Still, sorry they turned out to be a shit." You could hear the frown on Kyoka's face, "I know how excited you were."
"Right, you doin' okay, Y/N? I can stick around and we can all shoot some things!"
"Thanks, Kiri but I'll be just fine! Go spend time with your girl!"
One by one, everyone signed off. You pulled up Spotify and Stardew Valley, something of a comfort for you to get lost in for the rest of the night.
Less than an hour later, you noticed your phone lighting up with your best friend's familiar smiling face. "What's up, Denki?"
"Open your door! I have my hands full and don't wanna put everything down to get my key!"
You sprang from your desk and rushed to your door. Sure enough, on the other side was Denki with bags in both hands and his phone tucked between his ear and shoulder. You grabbed it and a bag before he had a chance to drop anything like the klutz he was. "What's with all this?"
"I feel bad."
"Why? You didn't stand me up?"
He fiddled with the edge of a paper bag. "Yeah, but, we both read those messages and no one said anything but they didn't just call our group out, they called us out.
"Denks, it doesn't matter to me-"
"But, it does to me! You were so excited about this and I got in the way, unknowingly but, still! So, I gotta make it up to you now!"
He pulled out take-out boxes from your favorite restaurant. Two bottles of your favorite wine. Your top three favorite movies and video games, and a board game you both had been meaning to try. "I mean, if they think I'm your boyfriend I kinda gotta live up to the hype, right?"
You really wanted to insist that none of this was necessary. That just because some person that neither of you really knew that well, assumed something about your relationship that didn't mean he had to blame himself for it.
But, you had to admit, this was really sweet. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to you that he knew everything you liked but it was nice. Instead of sitting across from a stranger, making awkward small talk, and trying to learn about one another, you were barefoot in your kitchen, laughing with your best friend while he plated dinner and you poured the wine.
Formalities were out the window. Both you and Denki were eating dinner in your living room, laughing and drinking just as you'd done a million times before. You snapped a photo of the delicious food on paper plates, toasting good times with your cheap wine, ready to post them to your Instagram.
"Gonna make them more jealous..."
"I think they made it pretty clear they don't want to see me so why should I care?"
He shrugged. "I just thought they might, you know, come to their senses that they obviously lost."
"I don't really care either way." You wandered back into your kitchen, putting away the leftovers, "They can forget I exist or they can stalk my page like a creep. If someones' gonna try and tell me I can't be friends with my friends or just not listen to me, then I don't want them in my life. No matter how good-looking they are."
Denki watched you from the sofa, a bit of a lopsided grin on his face that had butterflies taking flight in your stomach. "What?" Laughing to hide the bit of a crush you always had on the man. It was unavoidable you told yourself. His personality was infectious and had 15 year old you head over heels.
He pushed back bright blonde hair back off his forehead and just shook his head. "Nothin'. Uh, what's next? Video game, board game, or movie?"
You peaked on the counter at the options. "Well, we probably should have checked this but the board game needs at least four people to play... guess we'll have to save that for our next game night. Is a movie okay?"
Of course, it was.
You brought over the DVD with a refill of wine and he pulled a blanket down off the back of your sofa.
It really didn't take long, just fifteen minutes or so, and you were curled up into Denki's side. You'd make grabby hands for your wine glass and he'd pass it over with that damn grin again.
And not long after that, he'd pulled out his phone, angling it to take a picture of the two of you. "What are you doing?" You could see him on his own Instagram, tagging you, with the caption, Check out my cute cuddle bug.
"I thought you didn't want to make them more jealous."
"I decided I don't care either. You're mine tonight, their loss. And since you're mine tonight, I get bragging rights." He snapped another quick picture of you rolling your eyes at him, and then he kept snapping them.
"Denki! Why!"
"Because you're cute, cuddle bug! I like having all the pictures of you that I can!"
Even as you tackled him back down on the sofa, pinning him below you, he still managed a photo. "Bet if I post this one, they'll really get the wrong idea."
You could have moved. You were the one on top of him and you had his arms above his head. You had the power here and yet you just lingered above him.
"Y/N? Not that I'm one to complain about having a beautiful person such as yourself pinning me down, like, it's kinda hot, but..." Looking down into half-lidded golden eyes, you wondered why you had to become best friends with such a damn flirt! "Are you gonna take advantage of this situation we're in or are we just gonna keep dancing around this for another decade or so?"
You couldn't have heard him right? No... no this was your brain playing tricks on you because he certainly hadn't had that much wine tonight. You sat upright on his lap. "Another decade then, Y/N?"
"You- ha- you should stop that, Denki."
He leaned up, moving his arms around you, "Gimme a good reason to and I will."
You didn't have one. And not just because you've been in love with him for ten years but also because he was your best friend. The only reason to not go through with it was the possibility of losing your friendship if something bad were to happen but, you really didn't think anything would.
Denki might have been a serial flirt but he was surprisingly loyal in all the relationships he'd been in, not that there had been all that many serious ones.
"I'm not hearing anything." He teased, his face getting closer to yours. You could count each and every one of the faint freckles that littered the balls of his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. "But, I promise, if you tell me no, I'll stop, won't push this any further."
This whole thing seemed like a frickin' whirlwind, happening faster than your brain could really process the situation but you didn't want it to stop either. You wanted to take it further, didn't want to say no.
Which was why you coiled your arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. There was that small little buzz of electricity that tickled your lips when he'd kiss your nose or cheeks that was now playing on his lips, on his tongue when you welcomed him in.
He leaned back again, pulling you with him until you were both a pile of needy hands and breathy pleas. Everywhere his hands roamed you felt that faint trail of shock against your skin, making the little hairs on your body stand on end.
Clothes were shed, tossed haphazardly around your living room, both of you pausing to laugh when Denki managed to land your hoodie over a lamp. His attention was drawn back to you quickly though, still perched on top of him but now he had your chest on full display since you'd forgone a bra when your date canceled.
Electrifying tongue twirled around your nipples, sensitive normally, now it felt like you knew what it was like when he fried his damn brain. He was eager, relentless even, pulling and sucking, another hand giving your other breast a similar treatment. He had you so focused that you let out a broken moan when slender fingers found their way into your panties.
"Fuckin' hell, Denki."
The bastard winked up at you, nipple still between his lips and before you could retort, he sent another small jolt through you.
You were blatantly grinding down on his hand, reaching behind you, you found him completely solid, barely being contained in the tight black boxers he wore. You had enough sense to tug them down and wrap your hand around him making his teeth sink into your soft flesh, whining when you stroked him.
"Y/N..." He whimpered, his hand momentarily distracted from his ministrations gave you enough time to shift in his lap to scoot forward putting his cock in front of you. In one swift motion, you had his length between your slick. "Oh fuck, cutie!" Golden eyes were squeezed shut while you moved along him, feeling that pleasant curve he had, you could only imagine what it was gonna be like to have him inside you.
"You're being a little tease, ma-makes me wanna do all sorts of things to y-you."
He was kissing your neck, your chest, shoulders, and arms, anywhere on you that he could reach. His hips bucking up into you, just trying to hit that perfect angle.
Strength and agility were something most overlooked when it came to Denki Kaminari but when the man wanted something bad enough, he found a way to get it.
He had your ass rising up in the air with a harsh thrust of his hips and a small squeak from you, giving him exactly enough time to scoot down on the sofa so you were sat atop his face. If you complained, he didn't hear you. Denki already had your thighs around his head and his tongue devouring you completely.
Little shockwaves rocked you while you cried out his name, hands fisting blonde locks just trying to stay upright.
One orgasm from you apparently wasn't enough, neither was two but on the third, Denki finally relented, allowing your heartrate to come back down and your gasping breaths to come in more steadily.
You slid back down his body, his erection now smack against your ass. His hair was recked, face completely flush but he had the biggest grin on his face that you'd ever seen.
Denki kissed both your cheeks, "You are so amazing, cutie!" Kissed your lips, "You taste better than anything I've ever had!" And one more on the tip of your nose. "Doin' okay?"
You nodded, starting to really gather yourself again, and by this point, you really just wanted one thing.
"I wanna... Denks... can I take care of you now?"
"Sure, cutie! How do you want me?" The wiggling eyebrows had you rolling your eyes and pushing him on his back again.
It took little effort for you to position yourself above his cock, and with how slick you were, his bright pink head slipped right inside. He held your hands while you scrunched up your face, sliding all the way down him until he was completely sheathed within.
The curve was immaculate. Hitting in just the right way that had you moaning with just a couple thrusts from him. Before long, you were eagerly bouncing on his cock. Riding him hard so he filled you up each and every time.
You barely registered him reaching for the coffee table, his phone now in his hands. "What're you doin'?" You practically slurred, slowing only slightly. He tapped the camera lens with a wicked grin. "Seriously?"
"We could make 'em really jealous now..."
Somewhere in your brain, you knew your date wouldn't give two shits, in fact, this probably would have only validated their thoughts about your's and Denki's relationship but with his cock stuffed so deeply into you, kissing your cervix in the most beautiful way, you really didn't give a damn.
You and Denki put on the best possible show you could think of. You were overstimulated, sore, and completely elated! He balanced the phone against the wine bottle so neither of you had to try to hold it.
This way he could play with your breasts or squeeze your thighs while you dug half-moons into his chest. Shocked with the playful zaps he sent right to your core.
Your makeup you'd didn't feel like taking off now ran down your cheeks with tears. Your hair was a mess thanks to him pulling at it.
Denki had you howling through another two orgasms, telling you how perfect you were, how nice you felt squeezing him so tightly, your nails felt so good against his skin.
It was only when you collapsed against his chest did he hoist your hips up so he could ram into you, pulling out just at the last second with a strangled cry of your name.
He wiggled himself free, grabbing a towel from your bathroom and cleaning you both up before stopping the recording.
"You're, hey you're gonna send that to me right?" You asked when he handed back your hoodie off the lamp.
He dropped a kiss on your lips, plopping down beside you on the sofa again and you noticed your email already up and the video uploading. "Obviously, we share all our videos and photos. Why would this be different?"

tagged by @thiswaycomessomethingwicked. Found this sitting in my drafts after third of a year later. No time like the present, right?
Rules are: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line.
(how convenient that AO3 shows 20 works per page by default!)
1. It most certainly is a morning and the doorbell rings. Like the beginning of a horror movie, Sam thinks as he makes his way from his room to the front door. (The Night In Gale, 2019-10-11, Good Omens x Supernatural)
2. The remnants of the stained glass creak and shatter under the heavy plate sabatons. The men clad in deep red robes watch the armoured figures walk through the raided monastery in careful silence. (Moon And Destiny, 2019-08-24, Les Misérables x Wizardry)
3. “Alright squad! Who are we doing this week?”  (One Gay at a Time, 2019-08-31, Les Misérablex x Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)
4. Light. Everything is is spinning. Light, even behind closed eyelids. It’s omnipresent. Radiant, blinding, magnificent light. (Like A Teen Girl,[1] 2019-11-15, W.I.T.C.H.)
5. Witches have pricking in their thumbs, Varen had his stomach worms, and Lyris had her teeth. She could feel them vibrating in her gums. It usually went away with a couple of flagons of mead, but apparently not tonight. If anything, it made it worse. So here she was, Lyris called Titanborn, tipsy but not yet drunk, sitting by the campfire with the two of Companions and a growing feeling of dread as her teeth planned to run for the hills. It made her only more irritated. (Mind How She Goes, 2019-11-30, Elder Scrolls Online)
6. “Well, are you going to stand there the whole night?” (The Past, the Present, the Death, and the Devil, 2019-12-19, Les Misérables)
7. There is this thing they don’t tell you about dying – it gave you mother of all headaches. In all those tomes and epic sagas there could had been at least once mentioned that the brave heroes and mighty beings who returned from the Other side felt like a horse kicked thorough their head. This terrible pain was usually why your freshly resurrected dead scream in agony and want to destroy things. (The Many Deaths of Me,[2] 2017-04-30, World of Warcraft)
8. As strange as it was, Lyris finds an odd sort of peace here. It is not her old home – she doubts she could ever return there – but her cabin near Riften is a new home. At first it was a house, but she made it a home. It was a hard work to get there, and she is rightfully proud of it all. (To Be Found, 2019-12-09, Elder Scrolls Online)
9. Say what you want about the Tribunal and Vvardenfell, there is something that draws a good hero to the city of Vivec. That something might be a divine presence, but most likely it is simply the presence of a quarter with publicly accessible forges and looms in the close proximity to a bank and the drop site for commissioned works. (The Battlespire, 2020-05-09, Elder Scrolls Online)
10. “Your Majesty, a message for you.” The chamberlain presents the envelope on a silver tray with a gentle bow. Queen Ayrenn picks it up with her delicately manicured fingers, and the soft warm breeze of early autumn attempts to snatch the piece of creamy paper from her as it hurls large honey and amber coloured leaves before finally settling them on the ground. (War Ends, 2020-07-26, Elder Scrolls Online)
11. “Allow me to ask you again for clarification, Your Ex-” “Charles, dear brother. Simply and plainly Charles, for we all are equal in the eyes of the almighty God.” “- Charles: I have died.” (The Man Who Saved A World, 2020-08-12, Les Misérables)
12. So that’s it, you suppose. You are going to sit down on this chair, because someone has to. (The Tale of Two Fates, 2020-09-05, Death and Taxes)
13. There is a saying in Ferelden: When you think you’ve reached the bottom, the Maker shows up with a shovel. Like most farmer wisdom, even this one applies in Orlais. (Land Turned Red, 2020-12-29, Dragon Age)
14. So you come to the supermarket on Friday morning and in the ice-cream isle is a poorly paid and even poorerly shaven retail worker unloading boxes of frozen pizzas, eyeing them like man who’s missed out on breakfast and his contract doesn’t include lunch break. (Observations of an Unconcerned Bus Driver, 2021-03-07, Stardew Valley)
15. They are giving him that look. He knows it well and hasn’t seen it in a long long time. It is the look that says: “I can’t believe that out of all the people in Thedas, he was the one to save us.” (Fine Literature, 2021-03-14, Dragon Age)
16. A young woman stands in a garden. It is a beautiful garden, very lush in spite of all damnation raining from the sky lately, now that the Veil is gone and… And all that. (Houserite, 2021-03-29, Dragon Age x Homestuck)
17. If you asked Solas, it was the most predictable outcome, blatantly staring you in face, shoving middle finger into your nose and blowing a raspberry. However, nobody asked Solas and even less people cared for his issues with Sera’s behaviour, and thus when Dorian goes missing, almost everyone is surprised. (The Excellent Week of Dorian Pavus, 2021-04-09, Dragon Age x Doctor Who)
18. Talent. A short and complicated word. What is a talent? (Necromancer’s Virtues, 2021-05-06, Dragon Age)
19. Fucked.That’s what they are. Fucked. Completely and thoroughly. The Trade Tongue is a limited and insufficient language and lacks any imagination whatsoever when it comes to cusswords. (The Wolves Breach Through, 2021-05-29, Dragon Age)
20. There are a lot of ways to tell that you’ve woken up the wrong way in the morning, and I was pretty certain that I’ve hit three of them at least: Every fiber of me was aching, two men were looming over me with worried expressions, and the sky was dark. Especially the last bit was extremely worrisome, since I was fairly certain I fell asleep in my bed at home under a solid ceiling above which is mum’s room and after that is the attic and after that is a roof and only then you get to see the sky. (Real Feeling of Sharing,[3] 2021-01-10, Dragon Age)
Observations:
I use the opening lines of a story like most people use headlines; luring in the reader by making them think “Hold on, what’s going on?” and hoping it ignites strong enough curiosity for them to read further to figure it out. For that reason more often than not the opening lines are not exactly related to the story.
A surprising amount of mu openings also clearly say: “The story you know is over.”
Also very specific thing which is less about opening lines and more about the trope of my fics: A suspicious number of beginnings based on the fact that the person of focus is dead or implied to be, or implied to be really close to it.
I also don’t like long introductions to the story, so it’s either “Things are happening now, figure it out dear reader” or “This is a thing I am going to focus on because it’s my thing, deal with it, plot will come later.”
Favourite opening line is from The Wolves Breach Through, especially because it quickly evolves into a rant about langauges. The Night In Gale is a close second, because I love to take a piss on the source material. For this reason The Battlespire also comes close to the top, although the fic in itselfwas shit.
[1] Like A Teen Girl should get renamed, because the story evolved from “Parody of the Magic Highschool Girls premise” to “Drama With the Lads”, but I eh, who cares anyway, right?
[2] The Many Deaths of Me deserves to be rewritten by older and more experienced me. It could be a great fic.
[3] Probably going to get renamed to Original Real Feeling of Sharing, but only when I start the next story from the series.

Mok’s Mod List 2.0
Note that some of these mods require Content Patcher from the Nexus, and some mods listed need a bit of tweaking.
But thats not the point, the point is wanting to play Stardew Valley with Additions.
[cp] Babies Take After Spouse by Lakoria
What it says on the tin-- this mod lets your kids look like your kids! Its nice.
[cp] Dammit Clint Stop Hitting on My Wife by Rubecula
Tweaks Clint’s whole... thing to be closer to the whole “Guy with super bad social skills and anxiety about trying to talk to people”/”not really outgoing dude” and not so much “dude that literally watches Emily at her place of work and from bushes outside her house”/”Incel that you’d call the cops on if possible”. It correctly stops him hitting on emily when married to you. It makes him way more personable in terms of not setting off creep vibes. There’s a version available also of toning things down while being just friends. 
[cp] Elle's Cat Replacements by Junimods
[cp] Elle's Dog Replacements by Junimods
[cp] Elle's New Barn Animals by Junimods
[cp] Elle's New Coop Animals by Junimods
[cp] Elle's New Horses by Junimods
Lumping these together because they let you customize almost every sprite of a thing on your farm. Different cats, different breeds of dog, and new cuter barn animals, and horses. 
[Cp] Seasonal Villager outfits by Tanpopnoko and ParadigmNomad
Changes the villagers outfits as seasons change. No more Haley walking around in a tanktop and short skirts while theres like 3 feet of snow. Cute sweaters! Evelyn with nice sun hats! George not covered in food mess!
[cp ]Stardew Lottery Letters by Jokerine
You wanna play the lottery without putting anything in, and get like, cake when you don’t win? Want surprise money at random? Of course you do. Thats what this does. 
[cp] Canon Friendly dialogue expansion for all friend-able characters by Gizzymo
You ever play a file so long you’ve heard literally everything the npc’s can say? Like several times? Get this and get v in character lines that are spread out over the years. 
Abigail Dialogue Expansion by farmerjack
More Abigail! More words!
Adjust Baby Chance by JertsukkaTheMan
Some of us want to start a game with the goal of having a family with an LI. Its nice, its cute etc. But sometimes the game just won’t make your spouse ask you about having kids. For years. So this mod lets you adjust the chance of your spouse asking. 
All Professions by cantorsdust
Tired of only having one set of proficiency? Long to be a titan of farming? think its bullshit that you can’t master raising cattle AND growing potatoes? This mod unlocks both professions as you level things up. 
Animal Sitter by jwdred
Let your pet feed, water, and care for your farm animals. Or have your spouse do it. Pay for it or don’t, set if animal things go in to your inventory or a chest. Is very good if you wanna have animals but also are bad at telling which you’ve pet and which ones you haven’t.
Better Fruit Trees by CatCattyCat
Do you want an orchard without having to space things like a dnd movement grid? 
CJB Cheats Menu by CJBok and Pathoschild
Make fishing easier! Change walking speed! Change relationship levels! Complete that quest that you can’t find the thing for! Get chips for the casino! Get money i guess! 
CJB Item Spawner by CJBok
Decorate without being tied to the whims of everything else. Get things for quests. get ore without going mining bc mining is Danger sometimes. 
DokiDoki Dialogue Alex by alistairweekend
DokiDoki Dialogue Elliott by alistairweekend
DokiDoki Dialogue Harvey by alistairweekend
DokiDoki Dialogue Sam by alistairweekend
DokiDoki Dialogue Sebastian by alistairweekend
Collecting this together because it basically just adds more dialogue that makes the relationships much more convincing. 
Family Planning by loe2run
Lets you set the max number of children you and your spouse can have at a time. 
Free Dusty by skuld
Freedom for the doggo! Allows Alex’s dog Dusty to wander the town with Alex or wait for him in places. Not great irl, very good in game with the alternative being a way too small yard.
Gift Taste helper by tstaples
If you hover over the calendar on a birthday or on the portrait on your social menu, it’ll let you know what people like getting. A life saver. 
Happy Birthday by Omegasis
Lets you set a birthday for your Farmer, because really, you should have one.
Immersive Festival Dialogue by tangeriney
People now actually talk about the festivals happening around town! Like you know, normal people.
Instant grow Trees by cantorsdust
are you, too, impatient as shit? Want to have a syrup farm in a specific pattern but dont wanna wait? Get this and instant trees in the morning.
Kisekae by Kabigon [use Pathoschild unofficial update]
Like Get Dressed, this mod lets you alter the image of your farmer without having to pay the wizard. Why do you have to do dark magic for a haircut. It’s bullshit. So use this mod and get dressed up for festivals. The unofficial patch is on the compatibility page of the wiki.
Longjevity by RTGOAT
Adds more things to the game. Optional taxes, also adds more crops and clothing changes, and soda crafting. Can conflict with Seasonal Outfits, but can be worked in together. 
Map image exporter by spacechase0
Screenshots are now less of a pain
NPC Map Locations by Bouhm
“Where the fuck are they?” a sentence of the past! Adds markers to the location of villagers and shows if they move.
Paririe King Made Easy by Mucchan and PathosChild
Spelling Prairie is hard, but the games shouldn’t be. Makes you functionally immortal bc that minigame hurts me. 
Range Display by CatCattyCat
Displays a colored grid showing how far things cover. Scarecrows, beehives, and sprinklers. No more guessing where things reach!
Remote Fridge Storage by arjan3004
Fridge is tiny, is too small for mighty farming and foraging skills. Chest, though, chest is many and large together. Use chest as ice chest to store fridge, and cook with those things! No inventory management required.
Replanter by jwdred
Like Animal Sitter, but for the farm bit. Option for instant selling upon harvest. Also has option to put it into a chest for later. 
Part of the Community by bmarquismarkail
Ever feel weird about the fact you never get to know people through, like, social osmosis? Like if you’re super good friends with Sam, he’s probably talked to his family and friends about you. If you’re selling all these things to people, and helping people out, shouldn’t most people at least know ur a chill person? This mod gives a couple points toward your relationship to the citizens for every festival, for every thing sent in the box, and if you talk to people in a room with others, they all get a point or five. It’s very useful for keeping relationships going.
SBM Black Roof by ??
Mod i used to make my house pretty, but i can’t find it anywhere. 
Skull Cavern Elevator by Bifibi
Adds an elevator to Skull cavern, with option to change when the thing appears. No need to keep trying to not die every 10 floors only to need to do it again later.
Stardew Hack by bcmpinc
Basic thing that allows for below mod.
Wear More Rings by bcmpinc
You have ten fingers, why not so many rings? It would only make sense. So get your shinies on yall
Note 2: I have not included links in the post as links would make it not show up in the tags and thus would make sharing harder. Searching the Nexus modding website or the compatibility page will get you there.

I was tagged to do this meme by @roguebotanist ! Sorry it took me so long!
1. If you could travel one place in the world where would you travel?
Probably be to the USA to visit all my friends there, and my partner's extended family! I'm planning to go to Japan again soon with my partner, too, but because Australia is closer to Japan, that's a lot more attainable than visiting the states. So if I had magic-genie-travel-vouchers, I'd definitely pick the US. Just... maybe not for a few years, lol. It's a dream of mine to be able to take the two of us on a kind of foodie driving tour down through different American states, visiting a bunch of people we know, and tasting all the stuff we see on Instagram, LOL.
2. What do you do in your free time away from Sims?
I draw, cook, dabble in writing (I'm not very good but I really enjoy it), translate/subtitle videos from Japanese and close caption videos/podcasts in English, and work on eventual-someday comic ideas. I also keep meaning to get into gardening and sewing - I have all the equipment, but the attention... not so much.
3. What other games do you play besides The Sims?
Animal Crossing, Pokemon (even though I still haven't finished SWSH), Stardew Valley, a little bit of Slime Rancher (highly recommend, I think a lot of y'all would really like it), and the Ace Attorney series though I haven't played much beyond the original trilogy even though I really like it. Since we got our Switch I started playing Zelda BoTW too, which is my first real "gamer" game and I really, really liked it, so I'm sort of dabbling in more games of those kinds of genres that I used to be intimidated by.
4. How tall are you?
5'11"/180cm, last time I measured.
5. One random interest of yours?
I collect/love to pore over retro cook books with really terrible photography. I have a small collection of them. Some of them are genuinely good and others are hilariously bizarre. I daydream about starting a YouTube channel some day and I think about making a week's worth of breakfast/lunch/dinners from these old books and recording the process. My current favourite is all about what you're supposed to like to eat based on your star sign, from the 1990s. There's a lot of the word "moist".
6. Current favourite bands/artists?
“Current” is hard to say because if I actually manage to get attached enough to an artist/group to specifically like them, they become my favourite for a loooooonnnnggg time. So I would have to say my "current" favourites are exist†trace, Go-Bang’s, BARBEE BOYS, and Yes.
7. Something you’re looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to getting my life back together now that I've finally been able to finish a really stressful irl project, lmao. I'm looking forward to having enough money saved up to hopefully travel to Japan as early as next year and surprise my friends there. I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow and painting my nails :9
8. Current favourite films?
I have the same problem with this as I do music, LMAO. I really liked Birds of Prey! The most recent new-to-me film I saw that left an impression on me which I can remember was the Ghibli film "Only Yesterday". If you're a little older and a bit stressed about the pressures of adult life then this movie is a real treat. Also saw Big Eden for the first time semi-recently with my partner and was really sweet and pretty funny. Now that I think about it, it had a lot in common with my cook books.
9. What food could you not live without?
I was thinking of all the foods I love and would hate to go without, like tofu (for real), but I'm actually watching my diet right now and as it turns out I can apparently live without a lot of stuff, LOL. But I'm trying to eat "healthier" not just change weight and the only thing that's really tripped me up is the idea of forgoing sugar-free drinks. I knoowwww Pepsi Max probably isn't """good""" for me or """a substance human beings should consume""" but I grew up on it, I drink a sugar-free energy drink every second day (used to be every day but my heart said don't do that), and I like black coffee but even that has its limit. So I guess the answer here is "terrible, bad, laboratory-constructed soda", lmao. Can’t live without it, questionable if I can live with it.
10. Favourite series (book or movie)?
If I'm allowed to pick a TV series then this is where I slide in and say the 2003-4 Sailor Moon live action series (shoutout to Lady Bane for making excellently niche Sims 2 content for it, too). If not, I'm stuck again with not really knowing and not wanting to say Harry Potter since I haven't really engaged with it for a million years. Hey! Maybe you guys should recommend a new book or movie series to me! Especially if the book is available as an audiobook, because I have more patience/attention for them than reading these days.
I don’t know who to tag because I don’t know who’s already done it - let’s start with @afro-sims-for-you, @didilysims and uhhhhh @katatty-main​ ? Plus anyone else who follows me and wants to do it! Tag me back so I can read ‘em :0

Simmer- Get To Know
Tagged by the lovely: @ohsosims ❤️
Languages you speak: English & some Spanish
Are you a mermaid: Ummm no, what would make you think that?!
Your Playstyle: 42% Gameplay, 10% screenshots, 35% build mode, 6% in CAS, 7% trying to storytell but fail.
Your Simself Picture:
Tumblr media
Stories or Gameplay, builds, lookbooks, edits or cc: I mainly just post edits of my Sims or some gameplay. I would LOVE to make storytelling posts (with subtitles and all of that) but I don’t know where to start & if anyone really would want to read that. Like there is story in all my Sims but I just don’t know if y’all would want to read that. But these challenges have been really fun to do! I wanna do more lookbooks though! Custom Content I’m still trying to work with but I’m struggling a little bit but soon I’ll have some for y’all!:)
Your favorite age state: I honestly enjoy them all but I wish I could do more for elders! I can’t wait for knitting!
Your favorite season: Autumn
Your favorite holiday: So in my game I have a holiday called “Summer Farewell” it happens on the last day of Summer & the day consist of chill vibes. Drinking, playing outside, swimming, bbq, fireworks, hanging with friends & family & chilling around a bonfire. It’s super chill & I honestly look forward to it. Maybe I should post more about it soon!
How was your day: It was okay. Work sucked ass. Being understaffed all the time & working with a fake ass coworker is so draining. But it got better when I got home because I played some Skyrim. Then went out to eat with my mom at Five Guys then bought myself a memorory foam bed topper from Bed Bath & Beyond. So I slept amazing last night. Now it’s Saturday & I plan on not leaving the house!
Your favorite career: Ummm that’s kinda hard because I always choose freelance careers in game because I love how your sim can stay home & just work. But it gets a little monotonous at times. I also love the teacher & administrative careers that came with Discover University!
Your favorite aspiration: I love the geeky ones, like collecting stuff & I love the family aspirations!
Your favorite EP, SP or GP: this is so hard ugh. For favorite EP it’s either Discover University or Get Together. Favorite GP is Parenthood but also Strangerville because it’s actually pretty great! Favorite SP is extremely tied between Tiny Living & Moschino for the build & buy items!
How old is your Simblr: it will be hitting one year old soon! I’ve always wanted to make one but never did. But I finally just made one. I used to blog about my sims on Amino but that community was toxic and their ways were extremely toxic & stupid. So it pushed me to make a Simblr & I loved it ever since. You can go on Amino actually and still see my posts. STORYTELLING POSTS!
Have you woohooed: Ummmmmmmmmmmm not on my conservative Christian blog😚💅🏼
Your favorite skill: Gardening
The size of your mods folder: Not that bad actually, just 15 GB!
Your 3 favorite mods: Wicked Whims, McCommand Center & Andrews Pose Player
Your interests (other than the sims): I love to play video games, I’m a huge gamer. I also love to travel. Even if it’s to a small town in the middle of nowhere, I just love to see new places. I live in Texas so any chance I get to travel around, I’m always excited for it. I also love to write stories & songs. Then last I love to cook, so I’m always watching Food Network to see what ideas I can get to create in the kitchen.
Your favorite Sim (picture if possible): that is so hard because all of my sims that I post on here are my babies. So I can’t just pick one. But my favorites would have to be between Kade, Zephan & Tobias.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which Sims games have you played (including mobile games): The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 2 on GameCube & the Strangetown one for PSP. Urbz on PS2 & on Gameboy. The Sims 2 Castaway. The Sims 3 on PC & PS3. SimCity 3,4,5(ew). I have never touched the mobile games & I never got to play TS3 Medeival :(
Propose a crazy scheme: Omg I know this is crazy but wouldn’t it be amazing if our Sims could own multiple homes, basically house flip & rent them out to other sims. Get that money, or let their children that are trying to move out, live in those homes. Or how crazy would it be if the roommate system wasn’t just from Discover University but was BASEGAME. DEAR LORD.
Best part of Simblr: Seeing the crazy talent & passion that simmers pour into this game. Seeing them tell awesome stories & sharing their amazing CC! Also seeing people form friendships over this game is pretty magical.
Worst part of Simblr: Seeing blog who put so much effort & work into their posts & blogs and seeing no one appreciate it. Also the bitches behind anon leaving hateful messages.
What other games you play: Stardew Valley, Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online, Minecraft, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, Cities Skylines, RDR2 & a lot more.
For the fun: Stardew Valley
For the thrills or for the need to kill assholes: RDR2 & Skyrim maybe some GTA5.
Are you single: VERY VERY lol
I tag: @himbosims @katmk36 @gremlinsims @geeky-simz @thatonebrobo @invisisim @kalissimsblog @quinnterestingsims @nougat-sims & at anyone else who wants to participate!❤️ if I missed you I’m sorry but please participate!

Answering questions under the read more, as one does.
Tumblr media
Whom?
Lol i think sometimes you guys forget how old I am and that I did not necessarily grow up watching the same cartoons as you guys because I have literally never heard of this before in my life.
Tumblr media
No, not yet. I think I got an OK KO request in my inbox right now but I haven’t written anything for it as of this moment.
Tumblr media
Anon I’ll never be straight lmao. But I’ll be real with ya, I never watched the show long enough to form an opinion on him. I know of him but I don’t think I ever saw an episode with that villain, sorry. :/ but out of principle you gotta fuck the lizard. You gotta.
Tumblr media
Is this Latin? Anon did you just curse me? Have I been hexed????? My knowledge of Neopets is limited to the time McDonalds had them as happy meal toys.
Tumblr media
Hell yeah!!!!! I’ve gone out of my way to not keep up with the news because I want to experience it firsthand but I’m very hype. I always pick the starter based on which final evolution I like best so my opinion might change, but right now I’m looking at grookey 🐵🌱
Tumblr media
I’m assuming you’re asking if I write for canon x canon and not just self-insert? I already have a couple times and I address this in my FAQ but I don’t really like writing it as much as reader-insert because I’m a self-indulgent bitch and I want to kiss the robots.
Tumblr media
They’re still around; Tumblr search is just garbage and broken and won’t pull any results that are potentially nsfw. You have to get around it by using a browser to go directly to the URL for the tag you want. I go into more detail about this in my FAQ.
But, for convenience’s sake, this link should work for you even if you’re on mobile: https://rocksinmuffin.tumblr.com/tagged/codename-kids-next-door
Tumblr media
I haven’t. I tried playing Bloodborne but I gave up real quick because I am Bad At Video Games™️.
I like a lot of different types of video games but bonus points if you can make a customizable character and overall I’m more drawn towards plot-driven games because I like a good story. Say what you want about Bioware as a whole, but to this day the Mass Effect trilogy is my favorite game series of all time and I even enjoyed Andromeda in spite of its many flaws. I like Dragon Age and unpopular opinion but Dragon Age II was my favorite of the series.
Right now I’m playing through Borderlands 2 because I never finished it and I’m having a pretty good time. Other honorable mentions are Titanfall II, the Pokemon series (including the Mystery Dungeon spin-offs), Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Dragonball Xenoverse, some of the Fire Emblem games, Smash Bros, Undertale, OFF, Fable, Far Cry 5 and probably many more.
Tumblr media
I thought I was pretty clear about it in the post you’re referencing and I even made a note of it in my FAQ, but yes, you’re correct. I will no longer take nsfw requests for Dib or other characters who are minors in their respective series who never appear as adults anywhere in canon. For example, Dib is 12 throughout the entirety of the series and never canonically grows up, so I will no longer write nsfw for him. Whereas I’ll still write for characters from Homestuck or, like, Teenage Mutant Turtles because there are instances of canon and universes where they are adults.
Keep in mind, you can still make requests for Dib, I just don’t want to write anything nsfw for him. Writing about innocent schoolyard crushes where reader is a child or aging him up for general romance headcanons is fine.
 I used to write these kinds of things without a second thought and I’m not necessarily condemning people who do it because I genuinely believe the people who make these requests grew up with the characters and just imagine them growing up with them (if I thought otherwise this would be a different conversation entirely) but the older I get, the more it makes me personally uncomfortable to do. And that’s that!
Tumblr media
You fool, Piccolo always sexy.

“A Drop Echoes” Postmortem
Or as I like to think of it, a grand old vomitfest that I've been writing in between chapters so I can keep myself oriented on the fic. And I waited until I finished uploading A Drop Echoes in the Hollow to post it here.
Speaking of which, did you guys enjoy it? While I see all the comments and kudos and bookmarks on AO3, as well as reviews, favorites, and follows on fanfiction.net, I just want to ask. It's literally been nearly 6 years since I posted ANY fanfic online, and having had a not-so-good experience with online socializing or collaboration before, I'd been fairly apprehensive to start posting again.
Shout-out to both Ginger and Draco @gingerdrakewrites and their fics for giving me the courage to move on from those bad memories, and spurring me to start writing and posting again.
I’m here to share some thoughts with y'all about this here fic, 'kay? It's gonna be a long one so pull up a chair, warm up a tea or coffee or cocoa or whatever, drape yourself in a blanket, and relax.
Regarding Kutone
Writing professors told us all the time, that the first full-length project we finish will almost always be some kind of autobiography.
While I haven't had the same tribulations as Kutone, yeah, she is my autobiography.
Mixed race, Afro-Asian. Fairly successful in academia and supposedly has the potential to do more, but she throws it away to pursue something for her own sake. Overcomes self-inflicted isolation and learns to trust and love people again. (Admittedly, I'm nowhere close to doing that last bit.)
After that, she's the ideal I want to be.
Successful. Cool. Sexy. Independent. A little bit taller. A bit of a baller. Badass. Experienced. Confident. I count all these things she has that I don't, and I shrivel up inside.
So here's Kutone, the woman I wish I could be, and I, as the writer, pushed her off her pedestal and shattered her. It felt nice. That there's character development, supposedly.
Writing professors and college-level workshop mates also told me "don't use exotic names for your characters."
To that I say fuck all y'all.
Regarding Sebastian
AKA, the major reason why I decided to purchase Stardew Valley in the first place. Funny story, this one. I was scrolling through the screenshots on the Stardew Valley Steam page, and I think there was a screenshot that happened to show Sebastian's sprite. "Oh okay," I think, "he's kinda cute."
My sister charges in, takes one look at the screenshot, and says, "Man I was about to say he's cute, but god that nose..."
And as we cackled at Sebastian’s expense, I bought the game and started playing it. Made Kutone my avatar (meaning she seriously had no significance until I developed a certain businessman...) and started futzing around in Stardew Valley. With Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing under my belt, I got it pretty quickly.
Met Sebastian and had to put my head down for a few minutes.
‘This man is a reflection of me,’ I thought. I know a lot of other players feel the same way, like the dev had unknowingly taken a piece of my psyche, molded it into pixels and coding, and then, huh, here's a relatable character named Sebastian. That being said, I wanted to write him in a way that avoided the usual tags and labels people tend to slap him under: "emo," "goth," "depressed," "anxious," "gloomy," and basically every other iteration of those words that I felt made him so... meh, you know?
I settled on a new label for him, a label intrinsic to A Drop Echoes: "pathologically introverted."
The guy's actually really expressive, you know. It's just that, due to not being able to wholly trust anyone, he doesn't readily show those expressions. Which would explain why he's such close friends with Sam, and it also gives him a whole other layer of characterization to work with. Minimal, yet loaded. I guess that's where the popular "emo" tag comes from, but I'm still not a fan of the nuances of that label. Yes, he's emotional, and he tries, I think, to not show it, but in the face of sheer logos (like Demetrius), Sebastian knows he doesn't stand a chance. He's hyper aware of the fact he's emotional, but can't compromise that with his more logical side. So he shuts it away.
He needs a safe place to open up. Sam is that safe place. Abigail is that safe place. To a lesser extent, Robin is that safe place. And in writing A Drop Echoes, I wanted him to find another safe place--a permanent safe place--in Kutone. Someone who's a lot closer to him in personality, and someone who seriously puts her faith in him as a safe place. More than anything else in his life, that reciprocation is the magic he needs to "come alive" again. After that is a matter of, will he take it and run and see how far he can go? He knows he has potential. And he has his plan: take his bike out and never look back. Head out to the city and live his ideal life there. Does he fulfill it?
The original game didn't let him.
I like to think Kutone did.
Regarding Rhei
Origin? I had a crush on someone a lot like him--though mine was more angelic in comparison to devilish Rhei--at the same time I remembered a rule in a handbook about no dating in the same workplace. Yeah...
Anyway, based on what I eyeballed from the comments, about 96% of you hated Rhei. How do you feel about him now? Tell me things!
At the time I wrote the chapter starring him, I made this post, which was basically me fangirling over my own character.
Bet you didn't click it. That's okay. TL;DR, Rhei very nearly destroyed the rest of this fic, because Kutone was thiiiiiiis close to getting back together with him. Maybe in some AU version of the fic, they did, and that would be an interesting story on its own. She would have totally broken Sebastian's heart. Totally. That would have been some fun angst to write, but dealing with love triangles and their fallouts--even thinking about that concept makes me shrivel up inside.
I actually have an entire standalone document detailing Rhei and Kutone's relationship! How it started, how Jaci got involved, how successful Rhei and Kutone were, how deeply in love they were. They were too perfect for each other, so they burned up like blazing sawdust. This piece is their theme song. (Also I'm in love with biosphere mkay spare me.)
Regarding Changes
Grading myself here, I think I'm at a B-?
I did good on this fic. Still a good chunk of room for improvement, but despite the fact I want nothing more than to get it out of my face, I like what I've done. Like damn. I wrote a book and I kinda like it.
Things I'd change:
1. Wordiness - I do get too purple in some places, but I also would not sacrifice my prose poetry in certain parts either. 2. Risks - I thought about a lot of these. For instance, Kutone should have slept with Alex, and Seb should have caught them. Again, like Rhei barging in, this would have changed the entire arc of the fic, and I believe that once you cheat, there's no going back to what you were before. Doubt's always going to be a source of conflict in the relationship, and I refuse to believe people like Sebastian or Kutone would ever trust each other again if an affair was on the table. So I shriveled away from that risk too. Sometimes, I gotta let my imagination go there, and see where each rabbit hole takes me, y'know? 3. Omit BS - I'd either cut or fuse a lot of the early chapters. Also, much as I love Alex, a couple of his chapters were really unnecessary. 4. Character arc/Story arc - Is it even there? It needs more! What is even a climax? That was always the one point in the "mapping plot arcs" lessons that I could NEVER understand! More studying necessary.
Any other thoughts? Anything you guys want to ask me about A Drop Echoes before I fully focus on Sunset Stars? Ask me anything, send me your thoughts, theories, conspiracies, cries of mercy, comments or questions to my characters, anything at all, to my lonely inbox.
Also, lastly, but not least, I want to use this moment to thank you all again. For real. Thank you for your love and support, and thank you especially for cheering Kutone on to the end. 
With that...

- yo, what'you doing with your homies?
-ah, you know, the usual. discovering new emoticons, casually questioning our gender in the middle of a sunday night and being absolutely delighted by the other sending you videos and pictures of your favourite animal.

had to talk about this somewhere (and it doesn’t really belong on my personal blog) - the beeduo meetup makes me really happy, that is all. i didn’t want to tweet about it because i know there are more important things that should be trending rn, but i had to state it somewhere :)

as a short background: i had a severe case of ‘being obsessed with the mbti chart’ back when i was in school and i had gotten over it.
now, some of the people i met through the only way i go outside, which is going to boardgame nights where i have, thus far, not once played a physical board game and a card game only once, are currently working on an idea of a dating app based on mbti types - i believe it’s a project for one of their classes, but i’m not sure.
anyways, now i’ve been dragged into it again. after a little shock on the weekend that my type wasn’t given as intp-t anymore (for the first time in about 4 years i believe), i thought to myself: ah, yes, okay, that’s fine.
yeah, today i got enfp, so now i’m doing a full on self study until thursday next week when i see the guys again, simply to try and get as accurate a guess on my mbti type as possible lol

11 Questions
We got tagged by @elasticmonk ! Thank you so much! We love getting tagged in stuff and getting to know you guys better. 
Questions: 
1. What’s your favourite colour?
J - Royal or navy blue, or rich forest green 
S - Teals and purples
2. What’s your top place to travel to? 
J - Is it really dorky to say the National Archives? There is so much cool stuff I would love to see for my degree. I’d also really love to go to the states to visit S! 
S - I really like going to NYC, and I really enjoyed Boston when I was there last month. Also...hiding in someone’s luggage to go see J (fukken ocean)
3. What’s your favourite mode of transport 
J - Trains for sure, especially the cross country North Wales route I travel on a lot, the views are gorgeous and the journeys quite smooth. Train journeys are very calming for me. 
S - Literally anything I don’t have to drive.
4. What’s your favourite candy? 
J - Mine are Maltesers (which I don’t think the US has?) I also really love parmaviolets and hard boiled sweets like bear drops and fizzy fish. 
S - (We do, Hershey’s has a version called Whoppers) Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups---must be Hershey’s though because off brand pb cups suck.
5. What’s something that holds a lot of memories and sentimental value to you?
J - Literally everything? I’m the most sentimental person on the planet. But I think the item with the most sentimental value right now are the things S has sent me over the years, most especially my signed copy of The Book Thief. I also really love the Bangor alumni pin badge I got at graduation. 
S - (J is a sentimental dork <3) With it being the holidays, my most sentimental thing is the stocking my Nana made for me. (Also I have a letter that J sent me...I don’t know /where/ I’ve put it, but I know it’s not been thrown out)
6. What’s your favourite game and why? 
J - Video game? I haven’t really played much, so I’m note sure I can answer that! My favourite board game is Articulate! because I have some pretty fun memories of playing it, and Cards Against Humanity is always a laugh. Stardew Valley is so lovely too, but I haven’t been able to play since my laptop died ):
S -  I love Skyrim! And I’m super addicted to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp at the moment. Board games--Munchkin is always a blast, as is CAH.  I blame my fiancee for any and all game addictions I have. 
7. What’s been your worst hair cut/style? 
J- The one I got from a different salon than usual when I was about 15 who refused to cut my hair in a “boy’s” style 
S -  Toss up between the time I buzzed my head and the time I was accidentally given a Carol Brady mullet.
8. What’s your family like? 
J - Generally good people. 
S - My immediate family is pretty awesome. Some people are good, some people suck monkey nuts.
9. Where do you come from, in details? 
J - A small town in the middle of more towns, about half an hour outside the second largest city in England. An industrial heartland in the nineteenth century, its now one of the most impoverished and disadvantaged areas in the country, and one of the most multi-cultural. However, the Black Country has also been rated one of the friendliest and most welcoming in Britain. Our dialect is weird. 
S - The less affluent area of the same town Taylor Swift grew up in. While my “borough” shares the name, I went to a different school district. The major city I grew up outside of was the poorest city (for its size) in the entire country, while it no longer has that title, it’s still on the list. I live in roughly the same area, just about half an hour away now, closer to Philadelphia, but in the middle of nowhere. 
10. What’s your favourite meal? 
J - My Dad’s corned beef shephard’s pie. My favourite comfort meal is mash potato and baked beans on toast. 
S - Popcorn chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. 
11. What’s your ideal pet, personality at all? 
J - Probably a pet that likes pets and affection and will curl up with me but also likes to play and amuse themselves. 
S -  Cats that like cuddles (at the moment my roommate’s cat is trying to sit on my laptop)
Our questions 
1. What’s one piece of fanwork you would recommend to anyone, regardless of fandom?  2. How would you describe your favourite show/film/book to get someone else to give it a shot?  3. What one film/show/book do you think everyone should read?  4. What was the last thing that made you smile?  5. Socks or no socks in bed?
6. Favorite fast food?
7. What are your other fandoms?
