So, I wanted to know a little about how you see soulmates? I honestly want to see your take when it deals with HMF Sans in particular while it deals with a particular Soulmates AU. Usually, whenever I write Soulmates AU... to add DRAMA to the setting, I'd like to the soulmates the ability to feel the other's pain.

I want to know how'd HMF would think during the incident that caused his head to cave in while dealing with a universe akin to how I would write a soulmates AU. Would that change anything about what happens?

This is a very good question!

I like to write Soulmates as a resonation between Souls. It may be two Souls who are extremely similar to one another, so similar they hum the same tune. It may be two Souls that are different in the perfect way, singing like a harmony. In physical terms it's a mutual feeling of comfort and ease that you just can't explain. It can be platonic or romantic; Soulmates may be couples, but they may also be best friends.

Monsters place a lot of cultural importance on Soulmates, because their Soul constitutes so much of their being. Monster Soulmates feel the attraction a lot stronger than humans do. For Monsters it's super obvious, and for humans, it's a gut feeling.

Though definitely a good start to a relationship, being Soulmates doesn't guarantee a perfect happy ending! Relationships are still relationships, that require work and love and patience. Soulmates are still individual people. They can fall out with one another, if either party won't put in the leg work.

-

A personal note on this; I know some people make Soulmates a super big deal in their writing, the mega crux of relationships, if you're Soulmates you're guaranteed to be in love forever. And that's totally fine! I just don't really gel with that idea. Like... what about the rest of me? What about my personality, my hobbies interests, my wants? I'm more than an arbitrary magical link with someone. When I read 'we're Soulmates therefore I love you' I start to think stuff like "Would this person not love me otherwise? Would they even LIKE me if we didn't have this magical link? Do they actually care about me, or do they just start caring because they think they need to?" I feel that I wouldn't want to be with someone who only suddenly starts liking me because magic told them to.

In most of my stories, I don't make Soulmates a big thing. In a lot of them my characters aren't even Soulmates at all. It's why I like @recklesslycaffeinated's spin (in Six Ex-cell-ent skeletons) so much; the skeletons are her Soulmates but they love her for reasons outside of the Soul stuff. Sans even makes it clear to the Mc in the sequel that being Soulmates doesn't guarantee a relationship at all, it just guarantees some kind of connection, and being Soulmates with her is just a bonus that makes him feel comfortable. I love that take.

SUNFLOWER (CANON DIVERGENCE AU)

the absolute *chef's kiss*, depth, angst, and clownery of the kakagai dynamic this fic has is beyond insane and amazing and I am not ashamed to say that I have binged it at least 7 times

Now, my lovelies, please read "Sunflower" by cloudynebula and lapifors once more and bask in its utter perfection. But make sure you're in the right headspace for it because it's really heavy and dark tho! Please take care of yourself first <3

*more incoherent babbling in the tags lmaooo*

anyone in this hell pit want to discuss alucard with a sexy amount of nuance

good morning having thoughts about gale and afhiri

going from being ashton all week to being my legal name again is honestly one of the worst feelings in the world

Anyway I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- Ben, Gwen, Argit, and Alan could’ve made for a good team.

I've been possessed help

See, I WAS going to try and write Taurian PROPERLY. FINALLY. I WAS GOING TO FINALLY GET ON MY TEXT APP ON THIS SHIT CHROMEBOOK AND WRITE TAURIAN

AND THIS PROGRESSION OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR MYSELF IS INTERESTING...

BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT GRIAN/SAM (GRIAM) FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS.

THEY ARE SO FUCKED UP AND UNHEALTHY AND TOXIC AND MULTIPLE LEVELS OF "HOLY SHIT YOU TWO SHOULD NOT BE DATING" AND I LIKE IT.

You can tell I've been looping "I Love You Like An Alcoholic"

do you think jonathan and eddie would get along? as of st4

i think jonathan would try and roll eddie into a blunt and smoke him

🕺 time to ask for more jade thought cause ye say ye shall receive also again I just like hearing thoughts weve done the tweels crushing ™️ But do you think jade would get jealous @ anyone round his s/o if so how do you think that would go down — sincerely ramble non

HELLO RAMBLE ANON <3

I'm always up to more Jade thoughts, you know me so well

OK SO I've seen many different takes on how Jade would act when/if jealous of his S/O... here's what I think:

I personally think Jade is very secure in his relationship with his S/O and has a lot of trust in them to even begin dating in the first place, so I don't think he'd get jealous that easily. he likes to have his freedom to do his own things and he supports them having their own freedom as well! go out with their friends without him, meet a work partner, talk with that guy in their class, do as they wish!

I don't think he's clingy or anything, so he doesn't really care if they go out without him every once in a while, he goes out with Floyd and Azul too after all. of course, they don't exclude him of every single event or he might feel like they don't appreciate his company as much. both make sure to have something planned just for them, like little dates!

now, if someone starts hitting on them (and either they don't notice or this person doesn't stop after being asked to), I think he'd get a bit protective. not in a possessive way, but just wanting to help them in an uncomfortable situation. it also bothers him a lot to see this person clearly doesn't respect them and their boundaries after they say they are already taken. so, he'd interfere and make sure this person leaves them alone. depending on how irritating they were, he might do a background check afterwards... oh, what for? don't you worry about it :)

what has a bigger chance of happening is him being jealous not of a certain person per se, but of the time his S/O spends with them. like, they've been hanging out with Ace and Deuce a lot and didn't have that much time to visit him at Mostro Lounge or the Mountains Lovers Club. that might make him more irritable than usual and he might text/tell them little clues he wants to spend more time together. he doesn't have anything against them being with their friends ofc, but do come by every once in a while please.

all in all, I don't think he gets jealous that easily and when he does it's nothing like a big explosion of feelings, just his more subtle way of showing off they're together. he's respectful to his S/O's boundaries and freedom, just as they are to his, and if both trust in each other, there's not much point in getting worked up over little things, you know?

,,,hmm, what would happen if Spare and Vera met?? Since Vera is from another world that was not made by Arceus or Unons, I wonder what she'll think about Vera.

Vera: Maybe you should appreciate pokemon-made worlds a little bit more. Worlds which were not made by them (my world) was WAAAY worse than any of these. And we didn't even have giant magic monsters roaming around, who can destroy the whole humanity if they wanted!! Cool pokemons tho.

@kriss-watches-stuff

good question, Vera seems like the average human in the Pokemon world, but she's like, fundamentally different -- I doubt she even has infinity energy?? or at least like, "normal" infinity energy???

ok so uhhhhh

its people hating on imperfect fictional characters but then complaining when they're too perfect that its boring for me

set the scene: @arcanescholxr — 036, a masquerade ball.

music plays, filling the room to the brim, though just with soundwaves unseen, but felt upon the angel's skin. the room contains a whole crowd of people, though dispersed evenly, and he finds it overwhelming to some extent, even hidden beyond the mask that provides no shelter from thoughts and feelings that are not his own and press onto him further than just the music, and the sights and the scents alone.

his head spins, as he backs into a wall, or a person, right near the exit into the garden. "apologies, sorry, i—" the cool air beckons with a promise of some calm, at least for a little bit, at least for as long as polite society would allow it. "i just need a little bit of air."

So glad I am a stronger version of Mimi any weaker man would have left Requiem with a Spamton plush instead of an art book

lifelong projects actually fixed me. it gave and still gives me reasons to look forward to the next day(s).

Yandere! House Monster x Reader (II)

It’s officially a smutty sitcom: you, the oblivious gamer boyfriend, and the tentacle monster lurking in dark corners.

[First part]

Content: gender neutral reader, monster smut

Do monsters have a sense of humor? This creature seems to be greatly amused by the little "game" you've devised behind your boyfriend's back. Although you don't have much input in the affair, and most of the time you're merely a witness to the events unfolding before you (or in you).

First, there's the mild, inoffensive annoyances. "Babe, did you see my controller? I swear I left it on the couch". Some pranks are harder to swallow than others, such as the occasional lack of Internet. You know exactly when it happens, because you can hear your boyfriend's enraged shouts and rattles. It's always during important matches. No one knows why it happens. The repairmen who cross your threshold can only scratch their heads in confusion, confessing that nothing is out of the ordinary.

Then, the unfortunate coincidences. "How about we have some fun after my game?", the boyfriend will suggest with an anticipative grin. Alas, moments after he stands up, he is overwhelmed by a nauseous feeling. His stomach twirls and throbs, and he curses under his breath. "Some other time, perhaps", he concludes begrudgingly. You see, the creature is very possessive. The only thing that has saved your beloved partner from being torn to shreds already is his crassly comical obliviousness.

The mischief aimed towards the boyfriend is, however, a secondary source of entertainment. Nothing could ever come close to spending time with you. Yet another irony to this ridiculous situation: you haven't been caught yet, despite the rabid clinginess of the tentacled monster.

It just loves surprising you. For example, when you exhale dramatically at the end of the day, relaxing in the bathtub and enjoying your peace. Just as you hear an impatient knock on the door, you notice a familiar dark tendril slithering its way out of the water. You won't be leaving the bathroom anytime soon. "Did you steam yourself over there? You look like a lobster", the boyfriend will remark with a raised eyebrow upon seeing your panting, feverish face. "Y-yeah, I guess so." You limp outside, struggling to hold the towel around your body. Or more specifically, around the many marks left on your skin by hundreds of suckers.

In fact, its shamelessness reminds you of a poorly written erotic scenario, the likes you'd see on some adult website with a clickbait title. How would you name this current setup? You grip the edge of the table, pursing your lips to prevent any moans escaping your mouth. Your boyfriend is, once again, scrolling on his phone, indifferent to your presence. The water boiling on the stove drowns the wet, slippery sounds of the appendages pumping in and out of you underneath the table. “You might want to give it a stir in a moment, or it’ll overflow”, the boyfriend remarks without lifting his gaze. You mumble in agreement, slapping a hand over your mouth. You’re at your limit.

One may be tempted to ask, is this entity bound to its house? You pondered the same question until your recent IKEA visit. You and your boyfriend had been looking for a new wardrobe. "What do you think of this one?", you asked, closing the door and turning around. Your eyes scanned the empty model-bedroom. The jackass had wandered ahead without you. You sighed and were about to go find him, when a cold grip suddenly tightened around your wrist. You winced and snapped your head back. Thick tendrils had made their way out of the closet, tugging you to join them inside. So it can follow you around, you thought, climbing into the cramped space. Between the silent whines and breathy begging, an idea emerges from your dazed mind. New hypothetical video title: mercilessly molested in the IKEA store by monster partner.
