Blorbo Showdown: Round 1, Match 14
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@bogleech made these! go look at bogleech.com it's the best website
On the left: Sneezola from Mortasheen. My favorite Mortasheen monster, who started as a fakemon but got Upgraded after enough people loved it real hard. (Including me, I did fanart!) the funny virus jellyfish… no matter how bogleechy the style ill always find this one huggable. at my own peril. that's fine i'm ok with that
On the right: Doctor H.M. Phage from Awful Hospital: Seriously The Worst Ever. In my top ten 'deserves a plushie' characters. Probably could end the world if he tried. I've been reading this comic for a while and it's SO good, amazing way to spend an afternoon. (probably more like a whole day, actually. or two? depends on how fast you read ig)

youre dating me! not him! ft. lyney࿐࿔ ✦cws: est. relationship, otome game (i.e. love and deepspace), rafayel my beloved, jealousy, feminine terms are used but reader is gender neutral, crackpost, lyney is trying to be batman to save chaos from gotham (his brain) and ooc ✦masterlist
lyney noticed something off with his girlfriend, giggling on their phone and of course, he thinks that youre either chatting away with your own friends or youve picked up a new hobby.
you have plenty of hobbies but you so happen to be invested in fandom culture.
hes well aware of how you read fanfiction on those websites, totally not because he snooped on your phone and accidentally found them. he will admit though that they are pretty well written, and he did steal some of the tropes and some of the pick up lines just to flirt and fluster you.
but you're not intensely reading fanfiction because you don't have the face, the "oh my god???" or "OH MY GODDD..... ?!?!?!?" so clearly, you're playing something else here. but you were being sneaky!
every time he tries to peek over, you hid your screen, turn off your phone. hell, you even invested into a privacy phone screen. although, these signs do sound like cheating. it most definitely is not because well… to put it lightly, you’re kind of a loser (affectionate) but its his favorite trait of yours!!!
wow.
that sounded more backhanded than he intended.
but he has to solve this mystery before the world falls to chaos…
he’s just going to “borrow” your phone. he had a plan and everything. he knew exactly what he was going to do. wait until you sleep, unlock your phone and find out your biggest secret at the moment.
but instead, midway of his plan, you had light mode on??? why are you the devil? knowing he was going to sneak onto your phone, you put your themes to light mode. its a sneak attack on his very character!
a bright light burned his eyes as he lowered the brightness because he will power through!! but he was being too loud when he was putting in your phone password.
lyney noticed you were waking up, quickly hiding your phone under a pillow case. as you yawned, you turned on the lamp, peeling open your eyes, “…mhmm, hey, lyney why are you up?”
“well, i couldnt sleep.” he replied back, snaking his arms around you. you laugh,
“is anything keeping you up?” funny you ASK, the joker of his heart !! you shifted in your side of the bed, facing his way. “ow, what the hell?” you reached under your pillowcase, “huh, why is my phone here?”
lyney, sweating, “um, maybe you forgot?”
“its even unlocked!”
“woww… wonder how it got there.”
silence filled the air as the both of you just stare at each other. well, he looked at your eyes with unwavering confidence and a midge of fear and you were straining your half asleep eyes at your boyfriend.
“lyney…”
“um… dont know! okay, fine i did it.”
“if you wanted to know, you can.” you handed him your phone, clearly even more suspicious. not really. he really wanted to get into this dark knight hero guy character.
he swiped through and nothing hut a new game. “oh! dont click that…”
“why?” he clicked on it anyway. he was met with kind of realistic men, painting, winking and other actions. its not as bad as he thought. or even, kind of typical girlfriend behavior.
hearing the theme song, you sighed, rubbing your temples. your tone was embarassed, “i.. its an otome game. i thought it would be weird—”
you met eye contact with lyney as you nervously laughed. “because its a dating simulator.”
“huh.”
“yeah…”
you could tell he was processing it in his mind. “wait, youre dating me,”
“yes.”
“and youre playing otome games, which is, dating sims.”
“yes…”
“but youre dating me! not him! ive been feeling neglect lately and you were gone in your prtend world of these…” he looks at the home screen. “very attractive suitors while i waste away to our homelife, trying to be better.”
“good narrative, babe.”
“thank you, i made it on the spot. wait, no, dont distract me!!” he made himself sound serious. “all jokes aside though, im glad it was a game. i thought it was more something serious.”
“such as?”
“like cheating! and i know how that sounds and i know you wouldn’t but the way you acted made it seem bad.”
he saw you load in the information he just gave you and you began to apologize. “dont worry, you just have to pay attention to me and i guess, whoever is on ‘amor and deepabyss’.”
“sounds like a plan!”

Hey, c'mere a minute. Listen to me. I know it's been a bit of a day what with the Sleep Token Instagram being wiped clean in the midst of all the doxxing bullshit going on, but I think we're maybe getting a little hysterical. There is so, so much evidence that wiping the Instagram is part of a calculated move to launch a new era, and not a signal that they're walking away. Let's lay it out.
II, III and IV revealed new looks at the Wembley show; Vessel didn't
They posted a link to Ascensionism on YouTube today, and while people are drawing a line between the doxxing and "you make me wish I could disappear" I would like to instead draw your attention to the line "You're gonna watch me ascend"
Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb and Take Me Back To Eden tell a story. They're a trilogy. The end of Euclid calls back to The Night Does Not Belong to God. It's full circle, end-of-an-era stuff. But if the end of the era was the band itself it would be absolute nonsense to put all that work into designing new aesthetics for 3/4 of the band for ONE SHOW.
The website is still up and the Twitter is still active. It's only Instagram that got cleared out, and even then the saved story highlights are all still there
As has certainly been pointed out by others this is not uncommon. Paramore has done this at leas twice. I feel like Hayley does it semi-regularly on her own account, as well as periodically just leaving social media in general. All members of AFI and their official account changed their profile images to just black ahead of the release of their 2017 album. It's a Thing.
Tour dates!! They still have tour dates. They're going to Australia with Bring Me The Horizon in April (Australia I am SEETHING WITH JEALOUSY). They have Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks and Sonic Temple
This Tweet:
Tumblr media
This now-deleted post from a radio station in Iowa:
Tumblr media
This also-removed listing on Ticketmaster (screenshot taken today, Jan 16, 2024:
Tumblr media
(The removal of these two items is NOT an indication that they've been cancelled but rather an indication that someone posted them too early)
Yeah, the doxxing sucks. It's got to be stressful for them. But there's also been radio silence from the band and their camp on it and I think that's absolutely the right call -- there are potential legal consequences and it very well could be something lawyers are dealing with. Remember that this is the music BUSINESS and they are not defenseless little meow meows in this. A line has been crossed, boundaries violated, that sucks, that's unforgivable, but I genuinely don't believe we're gonna see the end of the band over it. I mean they are WAY too committed to the bit to let this slow them down.
I think instead we are going to get a tour announcement, and I think we're going to get it as early as this week. Maybe early next week.
We might even get new music or a new reveal from Vessel between now and the Australia dates.
Now let my depressed ass go back to crying to Atlantic on repeat and let's all calm down.

THERAPY PT2
matt sturniolo x fem reader/y/n
contains: therapy session, experimenting, kinks, going to an event.
pink : you blue:matt
Tumblr media
your pov-
After I got home from my first session with Matt my mind was running wild .He is so hot and I don't know if ill be able to control myself in my session today.
this past week ive been going through more websites and doing more research on kinks I could have and adding some to my list. Ive also finished two book this week and dear god I didn't think I could find this many new things that I would like but god dark romance has opened my eyes to so many new possibilities. Some of them are very concerning... like in the last book I read the guy bought the girl a collar and made her walk to him as he had a chain link connected to the collar dragging her around on it. Like what the fuck that should sound concerning but if the right man asked me to do it sadly I probably would.
I just got dressed in a somewhat nice outfit I wanted to look good for Matt I know he's just my therapist but for some reason I want him to notice me and maybe even compliment how I look.
skip 30 minutes-
I just parked in the deck and was rushing to get my purse and make my way into the elevator. Its about 6:50 im praying to god I won't be late but again LA traffic was a shit show .
I made it up to the 20th floor and rushed out into the waiting area and up to the desk .
hey y/n matts finishing up with something with his brothers but he said for you too just head back once you got here.
okay thank you you say and making your way to his office.
you knock on the door making sure he knows you’re about to enter
come in you hear a voice say from the other side.
you open the door and walk in seeing not only matt but what you can only guess are his brothers . they all look alike obviously because they are triplets but there are subtle differences.
hi y/n im sorry I was just finishing up with them but have a seat and we’ll get started in a second
okay you say as you walk between them to the chair in front of his desk
hey I like your outfit one of the others say
oh thank you you say smiling as you set your purse down
no problem ! okay matt we’ll head out he says as he starts heading to the door
the other one glances at you smiling you smile back and he gives matt a hug before leaving
see you at home?
yeah but I have an event tonight so i’ll be home late
alright he says leaving the two of you alone in the room.
matt makes his way to his desk.
alright lets get started . How has this week Been
pretty good I did some research on some new things to expand my list
okay and what new things did you find?
well I read about breeding kinks and I realized its definitely something I find intriguing
okay and what do you find appealing about it
I think the way its kind of a possession type of thing like they are claiming me fully by you know "putting their baby in me"
so its the possessiveness of the act that excites you?
yeah I think so
okay next one
okay ummm cuckolding
okay and which side of it appeals you . Watching your partner with someone else or hearing stories about their past sexual encounters?
I think hearing about it . im more iffy on this one . I get jealous very easily so it might not be for me
okay well we can come back to that one later . Do you have more ?
yeah a couple more
okay go a head with the next one
okay um edging...
hmm okay and is that something you would like to do to someone else or have done to you?
to me definitely to me you said quickly with a small laugh.
okay he says chuckling a little bit at your reaction to his question.
What made you look into edging?
um I don't know its kind of like overstimulation right?
yes its a form of overstimulation
well then I guess thats why it sounds like something I could like
okay next one
katoptonphilia I don't know if I said it correctly
okay so mirrors . You like watching yourself?
yeah I guess sometimes . like if a man were to be fucking me infront of a mirror and made me watch myself I think that would be hot
Matt adjusts in his seat. He also has this kink and thinking of fucking you in front of a mirror has him growing painfully hard.
Alright next
scene play...
okay and what is the scene that you most thought of when reading about this one
A teacher and student roll play I guess
Have you ever had fantasies in the past about a teacher you've had?
uhhh yeah actually
What about that teacher were you attracted too?
well I guess his voice it was super deep and raspy and his hands they were huge . There was a couple times he'd come over to help me with my work and he'd put his hand on my back when I got distracted and i'm not even exaggerating it took up almost all of my back.
he looked at you with narrowed eyes and for some reason it made you nervous .
I mean im not a small girl you know what I mean so knowing his hands were that big turned me on
would you say you have a size kink?
oh yeah for sure
interesting ...okay next one.
sensory deprivation
okay and is it sight, hearing or something else that you like with this one
I think all of it to be honest . Ive never been blindfolded but ive always thought it would be fun. I also think that umm if someone took away my ability to breathe for a little bit that would be hot
And how would you want them to take your breathe?
I guess like a hand over my mouth and the other holding my nose or chocking me hard enough to take my breath but not hurt me
okay so that one is definitely something you'd like
yes that is a definite yes
okay is that the last one
umm no ... I have two more
okay he says waiting for you to continue
okay electrophilia
oh hmm okay and what drew you to this one
well after last session and our um ... conversation about punishments . I guess I went home wondering about other ways to be punished and this one caught my eye.
okay so punishments is definitely something you'd like in your next relationship he asks a small smirk tugging at his lips. He had never touched one of his clients before you. Doing physical "demonstrations" was not something he would ever do but when you he had brought it up to you and you said you'd never tried it he couldn't help himself but show you . He had gone home and immediately went to take a shower jacking off to the thought of you.
His mind runs wild when you sit in front of him reading off your kinks and fantasies not only because they match up with his but also because you're exactly his type in not only looks but sexual wants and needs.
absolutely I mean last week definitely opened my eyes to it and I couldn't stop thinking about it so..
mmm okay and what's the last one
okay well I don't know if this one is considered a kink or if so what kink it would be
so is it more of a fantasy ?
I mean I guess so I don't know
okay well tell me and then we can work out what it is
okay umm like a collar ...
a collar he says with a smirk on his face that has you holding your breathe .
mhm you say tight lipped thinking that you said something wrong by the expression on his face
okay explain to me what you mean by a collar... like what is it used for
well okay I read a book this past week where the guy... bought the girl a collar with a lock ... and when she gave him attitude or didn't listen it would shock her and ummm... at one part he connected a chain to a part of it and made her crawl to him and he also dragged her around with it when he got angry with her
you like to read a lot don't you he said remembering last time you said that the books you read corrupted you a bit.
yeah I guess so
so do you think thats something you would actually enjoy with a real man and not just because you like the fictional character?
I mean I think if the right man came along id pretty much do anything for him
hmm he hums looking at you with a gleam in his eye and a look you cant quite place.
I feel like you have something to say about that and just don't want to offend me you say with a tinge off worry but also attitude.
I mean I guess im just trying to figure out what you mean by you'd do anything for the right man . A lot of men would kill for a woman like you
woman like me ? you ask confused as your eyes narrow on him.
I meant in the sense that... if you found a man that was everything you've wanted and gave you everything you've ever wanted and probably more you would worship at his feet... at least thats the impression I'm getting
I mean ... id say yeah . Is that bad? you ask leaning forward keeping intense eye contact.
no I don't think thats bad.
mmm you hum as you sit back in your seat still maintaining the eye contact.
There is a weird feeling in the air . Like there is some tension but you cant quite place why.
how would you feel going to an event with me tonight?
Are you asking to be your date matt? you ask with a small smile creeping onto your lips as your eyes challenge his
Not exactly . The event is for a bdsm club... a high class club that not many people know about but ... you might find someone there that may peak your interest.
hmmm I don't know
You can say no but I thought I might as well bring it up you never know who you might meet and what's the worst that could happen other than having to spend a couple hours with your therapist
I mean i guess It wouldn't be that bad being stuck with you for a couple extra hours you say with a playful eye roll.
funny... so is that a yes?
mmm yeah why not . But ... im not exactly dressed for something like that
yeah well lucky for you I thought about that earlier he says getting up and walking to a closet on the left side of the office
oh so you planned this out huh?
I wouldn't say I planned it but in the case that you said yes I wanted to have something ready for you to wear
he pulls out a long bag that is usually used for clean pressed suits and a pair of black hells hanging on the top of the hanger
how did you know my sizing? you ask kind of confused
lucky guess. he says with a shrug
he walks back over to you as you stand up and he unzips the bag showing you the dress that was seemingly perfect inside the bag.
wow all black huh
I thought id play it safe he says smiling at you .
mmm I like it but matt... I know these heels they cost a good amount of money
meh not that much
you smile at him as he hands you the dress and heels telling you to go change and he will wait for you in his office
you change in the bathroom noticing the girl from the reception desk is already gone . Must have gone over our allotted appointment time again but the crazy thing is when your talking to matt time goes by so fast you don't even realize you've been In his office for 2 hours.
you head back to his office holding your clothes you came in in one hand as your heels clack on the marble floor.
you enter his office as he looks up from his computer looking at you.
you give him a smile and a small spin.
wow you look good he says taking you in with his eyes.
thanks to you ... you know you have good taste in dresses
im glad you approve . Let me just shut down my computer and pack my stuff and we can head out
okay do you want me to follow you in my car there
no we'll take my car and ill drop you off at your car after the event
oh alright you say as you go to grab your purse and phone.
your phone rings and you see its Leslie
go ahead and take that ill start shutting down the lights in here ill meet you in the lobby
okay you say as you pick up and head into the lobby/ waiting area
Hey Leslie what's up
nothing I was gonna ask if you wanted to watch a movie when you get home
oh shit sorry im actually heading to an event right now
what since when
um since 10 minutes ago
with who ?
my therapist....
you mean your hot therapist you wouldn't shut up about this whole past week ... how did this happen
one I didn't talk about him that much and two I don't know it just sort of came up
mhmmm sureee well I cant wait to hear about it when you get home
yep okayyy I gotta go I love you see you when I get home
I love you too and have fun with your sexy ass ... sex therapist
yeah okay ill make sure too have a lot of fun with my sexy hot therapist I really gotta go
okay bye
bye
as you hang up you hear a throat clear behind you.
you gulp turning around to see matt smirking down at you
Fuck he definitely heard me call him sexy and hot . why was he just standing there and why did I not hear him walk out here.
ready to go
mhm yep
you both make your way to the elevators after he locked up and got down to the parking deck.
okay im parked over here he says walking to the left and you follow him to the most gorgeous car you've ever seen.
wow I love your car. Ive always wanted a gt just never had the money for one
I could definitely see you driving one of these he says he smiles at you with a look of admiration in his eyes.
you blushed as he popped the trunk for you to set your things in and then opened your door for you to get in. Then he got in and started up the car.
the interior was red leather that had your crush on him going even bigger.
Not only is he nice, hot, sexy, and exactly your type but he also drives your literal dream car down to a t. How could he get any more perfect.
He start driving out of the parking deck as closer but nine inch nails starts playing.
You've had many of dirty thoughts of things you would do to this song. You rub your thighs together as heat pools between them as your mind runs wild with dirty thought involving matt who's right next to you.
you like nine inch nails? you ask looking over at him
yeah love them but especially this song
me too you say smiling to him
he looks back to the road and god he looks so good driving . The way his large veiny hands grip the wheel and his perfect side profile glows in the dark city lights has you melting in your seat.
You have to force yourself to remember he's your therapist and its not appropriate for you to be having inappropriate thoughts about him.
I have a couple guys I wanna introduce you too while were at this event. But for the most part stick with me there's some older men there that are... not so pleasant and I don't want them making moves on you .
o-okay sounds good you say taking a breathe.
Since this is a higher class club some of the men think they can do whatever they want and have no consequences and the last thing I want is for something bad to happen to you. okay?
yeah I get what your saying you say as you look out the window
new flame by chris brown, usher and rick ross starts playing.
you softly sing along since you its one of your favorite songs
you feel eyes on you causing you to look over at him seeing him smiling at you.
what?
nothing he says still smiling and looking back at the road as your pulling into a very nice drive up to a fancy building.
He parks his car and shuts the car off getting out and going around to your side to open your door .You get out as he take your hand in his and slips your phone in one of his pant pockets.
come on he says leading you up the stairs to the large door where two men stand.
Good evening Mr .Sturniolo one of them says as they open the doors for you both to enter the building
you smile at them as you follow Matt inside and up a set off stairs. The next set of doors enter into a large ballroom adorned with large tables with booth seating and two bars one on the left and right wall.
you wanna grab a drink
yeah sure
he leads you to the bar and orders a glass or bourbon then asks you what you want after you tell him what you want the bartender makes your drink and hands them to matt.
you take a sip and fuck they made it strong causing you to make a face
you okay he asks noticing your facial expression
yeah im fine just stronger than I was expecting
yeah they are a bit heavy handed here
you don't say you say letting out a small laughing making him chuckle under his breathe .
Matt hey how are you a guy says coming upon next to him
Hey Jake Im Good how about you man
eh you know work has been kicking my ass but good otherwise
Glad to hear it man . I actually wanted to find you at some point tonight . he looks over at you . This is one of my clients y/n I thought you too might want to get to know each other
oh wow your beautiful its nice to meet you y/n he says shaking your hand
its nice too meet you too .
He's definitely an attractive guy but the only man your really wanting is your therapist Matt who is standing mere inches away from you watching the interaction.
So what are you looking for tonight
oh I don't know if im looking for anything. Matt said I might benefit from coming tonight so I did
mmm okay well tell me some things your interested in sexually and maybe I can ... be of some assistance
oh ummm I don't know I... you were caught off guard by how direct his question was. Its one thing to talk to Matt about your kinks and wants and needs since its his job but when a random man you just met asks you don't know what to say.
matt steps in and decides to answer for you
She has been wanting to experiment some new things lets just say what she needs to find is the perfect dominant man
Your face flashes red with embarrassment as you look at him and back to Jake.
aww so cute she's embarrassed
you glare at him and he chuckles
I mean I can definitely be that for you . I can give you my number and you can think about it he says stepping closer
you look at matt for some what of an approval to get jakes number.
don't look at me thats up to you
you sigh . Y-yeah sure why not . Matt hand him your phone from his pocket
Jake puts his name and number in your contacts and text himself something so he has your number too.
I hope to hear form you gorgeous he says before walking away
Matt steps in front of you meeting your eyes .
y/n your not gonna find someone if you cant even tell them what you want
oh whatever i just didn't really think he was my type
mhmm okay he says looking down at you
you roll your eyes knowing he's right . You don't know how to tell men what you want thats the whole reason you started going to him in the first place .
okay well if he wasn't your type look around and if someone catches your eye point him out to me
ugh do I have too you ask honestly because to be honest you don't really want anyone here but him but you know you cant have him so just to make him happy you start scanning the room .
You spot a guy with black hair and bright green eyes who looks like he was carved by a greek god and is covered in tattoos .
you quark a smile and point to him.
Hmm Aris kalmin hes a very rich business man but I don't think hes a good pick
and why do you say that
Because you said you wanted not only to be dominated but to also feel taken care of after ... with Aris you won't get that. He is the type of dominant to use you when and how he wants and will not take time to clean you up and make you feel good after
mmm okay yeah you have a point there okay never mind then
you scan the room again not seeing anyone that really gets your a attention .
hey I see someone at the bar I want you too meet
ugh okay you wanted to get a refill anyway . You were already a little tipsy you were two drinks in and since they made each so strong it was definitely hitting harder.
you asked for another drink when you reached the bar
matt going over to a very tall man who had one green eyes and one blue , his chiseled face had a light stubble and his hair was dark and fluffy. His neck was adorned with tattoos and so were his arms. He was definitely your type and now since you were tipsy you had a bit more courage than you did meeting the first guy.
the bartender handed you your drink as you looked back over at matt , him and the guy he wants you to meet are already staring you down with daring smirks on their faces which has your heart racing . Matt motions you over with his hand and you slowly make your way to them across the bar.
y/n this is Theo
hi its nice to meet you
its nice to meet you too matt was just telling me a bit about you
oh all good things I hope you say giving him a playful smile
very.. good things he says looking down at you from his 6'5 height .
you gulp feeling a bit intimidated by his size and the way his heterochromia eyes bore into yours.
you have gorgeous eyes
mm thank you sweetheart he says cocking his head a little as he smirks.
he leans down so his mouth is right next to your ear causing shivers to run down your back as his breathe hits your ear.
imagine looking into them for hours on end as you cum for me over and over
you choke on air as your face gets red and you clench your thighs trying to dull the throb in-between them
mmm I think you'd like that wouldn't you he says coming face to face with you
you gulp and slowly shake your head yes not knowing what exactly to say. You've never had a man speak so directly about pleasuring you before other than obviously your sessions with matt and the conversations you have.
he smiles and stands back up straight
maybe we can arrange that yeah
mhm y-yeah
he hands you his phone with contacts already pulled up you take it and put your name and number in and hand it back.
well it was nice meeting you y/n I hope to see you soon and matt we gotta catch up soon its been a while
yeah man just text me and we can work something out
Theo walks away and matt looks at you smiling
So what did you think of him
y-yeah he seems nice
mmm yeah I bet I saw the way you clenched your thighs when he said something to you
yeah okay whatever you say with more attitude than you meant too.
watch the attitude y/n he says sternly
or what you say tauntingly. Even though Theo was nice and definitely turned you on with what he said Matt was still right there in the front of your mind. Something about Matt just drawls you in and you cant stop no matter how hard you've tried for the past week to keep in mind he's your therapist and there is a line you shouldn't cross you just cant avoid the obvious attraction.
he steps closer to you causing you to look up at him . You sway a bit from the obvious slightly drunk state you're in from the drinks you've had throughout the night.
I don't think you wanna cross that line y/n he says smirking but keeping a deep stern voice.
But what if I do?
mmm he hums leaning down closer so he is mere inches from your ear . I don't think you can handle me sweetheart he says in your ear as he brushes some hair off your shoulder and he places a small kiss just below your ear.
you move your hand to his neck and tug slightly on his hair so you can reach his ear.
One thing you should know about me matt... is that I love a challenge
he turns to look you in the eyes . His jaw is clenched and there is a dark gleam in his eye that has your pulse racing. Your definitely drunk which is giving you a new found confidence . You would have never made a move on Matt sober because again he is your therapist but right now your not thinking with your head.
Come on were leaving he says grabbing you harshly by your arm and pulling you with him. His tight grip elicits a whine from your mouth.
You both hurriedly make your way out of the building and down the stairs. Hes not only dragging you with him by your arm but your also drunk causing you to trip over your heels and fall into him on the last step.
Jesus Christ matt slow down
I don't know who you think you are telling me what to do he says in a tone that for some reason makes you want to cry . Its the tone of a father who's angry at you for doing something you know you shouldn't ... Maybe thats the childhood trauma talking but...
o-okay im sorry
come on he says leading you to the car slower this time
he gets you into the passenger seat and shuts the door harshly causing you to jump.
he gets in and immediately starts the car
Put your seatbelt on now
you immediately buckle in not wanting to test his limits since he seems to already be on edge.
good girl he says before pulling out of the long drive way slightly fast and speeding down the streets then you reach the highway and he drives in the fast lane speeding down the dark highway .
After a second you realize you just passed the exit to get off for his building . He was supposed to drop you at your car after the event...
matt where are we going I thought you were dropping me at my car after
he smiles darkly before answering
Were going to my house
that statement immediately sobered you up.
Fuck me ... his house... I guess he took what I said earlier seriously. I mean I did mean it but I didn't think he'd actually do something about it .
I guess ill have to sit here and wait to find out
Part 3 coming .... 💋

This makes me so happy. It’s never not completely wild to me to hear that I’m being thought of even when I’m not around. I hope you know that you have all touched my life just as much as I’ve touched yours, if not more—and I hope we all get well and get to where we’re going in life, cheering each other on from near or far :)
Parasocially or not, let it be said that I love you guys a lot. So many of you were along for the ride during my coming-of-age journey here on this silly little blogging website and I’ll never forget it.
As for me and my content, I don’t think this will be the last you see of it. Don’t worry!

alright so we're tasting the corn starch, as folks are wont to do. and its yuckynasty, and we really wish we had some water, right.
oh no problem, i say, it looks like theres a corner store right over there! ill go grab a bottle or two. and before anyone can protest, off i go! store time! store time!
but dear listener. this was no ordinary store. for u see, the inoffensively-named "dashmart" may have conjured images of a grab-and-go convenience store, when i arrived it quickly became clear what this was. which was that this was a ghost-kitchen-style pickup location for doordash delivery service grocery shopping. it is immediately clear this is a disaster because the delivery drivers are having to present their phone for pickup, get handed some bags, step aside and fiddle with their phones, then present them again, get a new bag, over and over.
i awkwardly sidle up to the window, point at the water bottles that i can see in the shelves behind the man at the pickup counter. "I know this is like, an app thing, but is there any chance I can just give you a $5 and buy a couple water bottles?" i know even before I ask the question that the answer will be no. of course not. i am at the inconvenience store.
fucking FINE, i will download your stupid fucking app. and make an account, and forgot-my-password, and paste the code into the code paster thing. hey wait why
Tumblr media
the spinner boxes on the code inputs block the boxes. on the phone it is impossible to enter the code. you cant even see half of the number that you input.
fucking FINE. maybe the app is out of date. i promised it would be a quick jaunt and ive been gone 10 minutes by now. do i text these new friends "hello. this store is evil. i have not forgotten about you. i will return as soon as i can"? or is that weird. updating app. oh hey it works now, it's letting me input the new code. WRONG. "ERROR DETECTED: <some hex string>".
fucking god dammit. i can see the water bottle. i am holding a crisp fiver. which can be, exchanged, for goods. and services. fuck this shit. fuck everything that tech has ever touched. there is a water bottle 10 ft from where I stand and a man who would like to give it to me and neither of us can do this because some chucklefucks in silicon valley couldn't do javascript good.
i bottle up this annoyance. i rap on the window, hi hello i cannot seem to get the app or website to work. i know this is silly but. if i give you $5, can you order me two water bottles on the app,?
uhhh, the man says. there's a service fee, and also I'm not sure, I might get in trouble for accepting cash, just check your email and see if you got a code, or...
FUCK this shit, i realize. there is a Real Ass Gronchry Store naught but 4 blocks away. that will have real things like "shopping carts" and "checkout lines, or perhaps self checkout". if i had not bothered with your fucking APP i would be back at the park by now. ridiculous.

hey idk if youve answered this but whats ur writing process like? im think of doing a story like decades challenge but ive never anything outside of gameplay really. also how far in advance do you plan is it like this gen or gens in the future? sorry for rambling
Hello! First, you don't ever have to apologize for rambling to me; I love a good ramble! And second, if you're wanting to do the decades challenge, I suggest going for it! It has really helped me find a medium to channel my love for writing and learn history along the way.
To answer your second question of how far in advance I plan, I do plan multiple generations at once. I have a basic outline from 1890 to the mid 1920's already planned out, and this includes Ozzy, Atticus and future children and most of the side characters as well like Beth, Millie and Valerie.
As for my process, it's a little more in-depth and I use a website called Milanote for note taking and tracking birthdays and Google Docs for a bigger spreadsheet and writing the story.
Sometimes I have the full scene already written out in advance, but most of the time, it will be few sentences to get the juices flowing or something I wrote down at a different time. I write small things all the time, like little pieces of dialogue, or a good prose that I don't want to forget.
I personally need to see what the scene will look like before I write it out. Mostly because if I write something, and then can't find a pose for it, I get frustrated. So I shoot the scene first, edit the photos, put them into a Tumblr draft, and then finish the writing with the photos there for me to look at. Lately, I've been taking a few photos and then the rest of the scene comes to me while I'm shooting, so I stop taking photos and write it down before I forget.
Anyway, once all the photos are taken and the first draft is finished, I copy and paste what I've just written into my Google Docs. From there, I let it do it's grammar / spell check thing (mostly because I have it set to British-English so I want to catch American spellings of things and change them for me), reread it and put it back into the draft on Tumblr.
After that, I read the scene outloud back to myself. This helps me catch any weird grammar errors that the computer missed, or any repetitive use of a word & then I replace them (I have an extension that looks for synonms for me). I also just feel reading it outloud back to yourself, helps you read it like it's a story vs you just like...saying what's happening, if that makes sense? Like if I'm finding myself bored just by saying it outloud, it will probably be boring to read.
I do this multiple times over before I decide I'm satisfied, and I usually do it one more time before I publish the post. After I like what I've written, I copy and paste that back into my Google Doc because I consider this "my hard copy".
There is also a lot more organization that goes into it than just this, so if you want to know how I organize things, I'd be happy to explain that as well. It's a lot of spreadsheets and notetaking, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.
And, this is just what works for me, I can't stress that enough! Other people write the scene before they shoot, and that's perfectly fine too. My process has changed overtime and it's taken a bit of trial and error, but this is just what feels the most natural for me.
I hope this helps somewhat and isn't too overwhelming. You can always do more gameplay than writing if that's what works for you, or build a story with gameplay. So don't let this scare or intimidate you! Either way, good luck with your decades challenge!

because you seem to be an expert on this: a litter of puppies from a breeder ive been talking to was born recently. i might be overthinking this, but how do i ask for updates or generally keep in touch without breathing down their necks? can i shoot an email once a week or ig since its early one every two weeks and be like "hey how you doing how's it hanging"?
man the last like 3 months of this blog are just me slipping into total madness over not knowing how to communicate with a breeder lmao. but I guess my instinct is to work with the pace the breeder has set - i.e. do they typically respond to emails quickly and/or have a website or social media that they keep regularly updated? those breeders I think a casual check-in email every 2-3 weeks would be appropriate. if they’re slow to communicate/update in general then I would personally try to wait even longer. If puppies were just born I’d say give them at least 2 weeks since babies are very fragile at that age. Once a week I think seems like overkill, unless they’re keeping up constant communication with you already.
clearly this is not something I’m great at given my track record so I’ll leave this open if anyone else has advice to give.

see i Know that homestuck has to be dogshit because i know the basic plots/characters/themes of So Many of the more popular things on this website without ever experiencing any for myself entirely from seeing posts about them, like I'm able to pick up so much about them and there's plenty of shows where I'm like this probably isn't my thing but hey it sounds interesting glad you guys are enjoying it
meanwhile after over a decade on this website i know genuinely, without any exaggeration, literally Nothing about homestuck outside of a few names. i know literally zero plot elements or themes or character traits or anything. and that isn't from lack of seeing posts about it because my god i Have. again, I've been on here over a decade. I've seen posts on it. and yet i know Nothing. if anything ive only seen things that make me less and less interested in it especially with how it the fandom of it tends to be
i think my only real exposure to it is people seeing a meme/trope that's been done to death and include that stupid fucking "every now and then someone just reinvents homestuck" tweet because they can't bare the thought that something can ever be done anywhere else

Midvale Gouger Info Post
Hey everybody! ive been researching this personfor a while and ive seen a lot of misinformation, so as someone who actually lives in midvale im here to set the record straight. if you didnt know the midvale gouger is a serial killer from midvale kentucky.
tw: eye trauma, rotting, mutilation
the midvale gouger has been around since around 2018, a new victim tends to be found about once a week and the news has stopped reporting on it. theres a page on the town police website cataloging victims and discovery locations but its kinda just become the new normal and weve all come to accept that we might be next, its kinda sad. i hate all the tourists who come here, i hate the gouger museum, i hate how the true crime fandom glorifies the gouger even though they are still alive.
a lot of people have been claiming that green leaves are found inside the bodies of the victims of the gouger, idk where this myth comes from. there is green stuff that looks like grass stains underneath the toe nails and fingernails of all the victims, but everything inside is already decomposing by the time the cops find them. another misconception ive seen a lot of is that the gouger is a man, in reality we have no idea who the gouger is, no finger prints have ever been found and they tend to avoid areas with security cams (peoples homes, public parks, etc.)
they are called the midvale gouger due to the fact that their victims are always found with gouged out eyes. another commonality besides the previously mentioned greenness is mutilated orifices and bloody nails. a lot of people think they just gouge out the eyes. no. its so much worse.
despite how long they have been active we know next to nothing about them. thats part of whats so scary about them. so yeah, please stop posting headcanons and mood boards about the gouger. it is increadibly rude and insensitive.

so ive been making a neocities for a couple months now and its very fun and ive gotten some decent html experience, and i had the thought "hey tumblr custom themes are based in html it would be fun if i made my tumblr page look like my neocities and maybe had them connected!"
so i went to go check out how custom tumblr themes are made and they have a nice official page with code you can use to get the posts and stuff to show up! so i go to try it out and see how it goes. it'd probably need a lot of styling work but thats fine i know how to do that.
turns out, it needs a lot more work than that!! the code they give you is broken in a way that i do not know how to diagnose where if one of the posts is the kind thats been reblogged with comments added (incredibly common type of post) the Default Code given to me by Tumblr Official Website will screw up and duplicate the entire post for however many times a reblog comment was added onto it.
Tumblr media
i love how this website functions!!!!!!!
anyways im probably just gonna stick with the theme i already got lol i dont feel like putting in the work to resolve this plus all the other things that need to be added

hey! this is chance & here’s this week’s prompt. what websites or resources do you use while you write or develop a character/story? what do you think of them and would you recommend them?
Hello!! Been fighting a war of spoons this week, so sorry for the delay with this!
Honestly it would be magical if I had 1 single source I could rely on for writer's research, but Google is generally my starting point. After that here are the places I trust the information of:
Masterclass - there are a surprising number of articles and mini interviews for free written or influenced by the professional writers in the platform. One day I'll pay for the full service if only to hear Mr. Gaiman tell me his perspective on storytelling; but the free articles are really concise and informative for structure
Save the Cat Writes a Novel (its a book but there are references all over the internet to it as well) - definitely don't feel chained to what the method lays out!! But the nuances about what should happen in certain types of beats are a great push when you get stuck!!! But it's a really rigid beat sheet that probably won't 100% adhere to what you need it to be.
Tumblr media
Behind the Name - actually discusses meanings and origins of cultural names!! This is a great way to get started or to help carve put a character who is a little too murky to write yet.
The Phrontistry - difficult to navigate on a time crunch since its not made for writers, but ctrl-f a key word helps. This place has lists and lists of DEAD WORDS!! Use it to name shit! Use it learn victorian and old english slang. Use it because you just like words. (By the way, a Phrontistry is "a place meant for thinking", so a Zen garden is a phrontistry!!)
My Uni Library Website - this is a privilege I know, but if you can get access to academic sources on arts and cultures it really changes the way you can respectfully draw inspiration from other cultures!!
4TheWords - this is the ADHD buster! Its down at the time I wrote this, but it's a website that gamifies writing so its not just a timer like in writing sprints, every word you type goes to "defeating a monster". You so quests like any mmo and I've legitimate written over 50k in under 30 days because brain goes into panic "it doesn't have to be good" mode and I can get stuff done! Its not totally free, but the micropurchases are actually micro snd you can earn time as well as buy it. They have to make ends meet so i can't be mad
Writer.bighugelabs.com - ive used this online typewriter for like 5+ years. Lifetime membership is 99$ and it goes to the one guy who made it keeping it running. It's got an offline mode and document history so just as long as you are careful and you preload the tab, you don't need data on your netbook/chromebook/ipad to write. It's no markdown, just words on page, it makes typewriter noises, and it looks like a dos command prompt. If you pay for it, you can customize colours, and ive used it for everything from timed exams to emails to novel chapters.
Obsidian.md - free program you can get as an app or on desktop that lets you make basically your own wiki. I've posted about it for my studies, but you can just make your own wiki about your novel, or choose to write directly into it. It supports markdown and latex-like formulae so I've literally written reports in it.
Also like,,,, don't be afraid to use the blogs of other writers! They have experience you could use. But I try to avoid posts that are "7 tips to write x y z" or "never do p q r when writing" because they just get in my head and are generally highly opinionated and are not objectively correct.
I do use, reblog, and strongly support resource and psa type posts though!! Some beautiful human has been making "ways to write [emotion]" posts on tumblr and that person I would like to kiss. They are useful information-based and example-based posts that are just like "and here are some oprions" instead of giving people who are already prone to second guessing themselves (writers) more things to fear cause them "should i even try, what if im cringe and everyone roasts my work" anxiety. ((If people are gonna roast your work, they will nitpick it apart regardless of whether you reinvented My Immortal or wrote the spiritual successor to This Is How You Lose The Time War, so like,,, please just write @me and everyone else who needs to hear that.))
I also advise at least skimming posts about demographics you are not in, especially the ones about how they want to be represented and how it's appropriate to include that in your narrative structure. If you are not in that demographic, you - by definition - cannot fully understand what it's like to be the people who are. Therefore you should to do some quality research and maybe be willing to ask questions of people to make sure you don't fall into stereotypes/virtue signaling/etc.
Finally, *inhales*: WIKIPEDIA!
Yes anyone can edit it, but you know who does??? Coffee riddled neurodivergent individuals with a passion for that one obscure thing you were shocked to find on Wikipedia.
Use the information as a primer, and then to to the sources and try to track down more specific and more "reliable" information. But Wikipedia is usually enough if you are like designing creatures and stuff like that. I don't need amphibious biology research to design an axolotl-like alien sentient lifeform.
That being said, I'm not going to stay limited to wikipedia when i go to learn about xolotl and the culture that named axolotls in order to make sure i don't just steal one animal and a naming convention but also pay some respect and homage to the spirit of the animal and related irl folklore. But finding relatable and first hand cultural sources is very case by case.

Chapter 11: When you come back
Tumblr media
Left for Carnage (Twisted Wonderland x Reader)
← Chapter 10 | Masterlist | Chapter 12 →
Word count: 5.1 k.
WARNING: mentions of verbal fight (between the reader and their father), beasts, injuries, blood, scars, cursing, hospital room and IV tube.
Note: I’m really sorry for uploading this late! I started my fourth semester at uni and I had a lot of things to do so this got pushed. I also started publishing this fanfic on Wattpad but I’ll post the link in the afternoon since the Uni Wi-fi blocked the website (I have no idea why xd). Anyways, thank you for your support!
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
“(Y/N)! Wake up!”, somebody grasps your shoulders and shakes them harshly. Annoyed, you swat away the hand before turning to your side and snuggling further into your hands that were placed below your head, acting like a pillow.
The atmosphere around you is calm and serene, in the distance, you hear the chirping of birds, and the soft wind that passes through the trees shaking their leaves and branches. The grass you are lying on used to sting and itch you, but now it acts as a comfortable mattress which, together with the warm sunlight, encourages you to continue your deep sleep.
You hear a chuckle come from behind you. "At least sleep under the tree. You'll burn your face if you keep exposing yourself to the sun," you feel the person gently poke your back and take a seat near you. Knowing that he will continue to bother you if you pretend to continue sleeping, you slowly open your eyes and let out a groan as you stretch your limbs.
"Is the party over yet?" a yawn escapes you and you roll onto your side, to find yourself face to face with Sigurd. Your brother shakes his head and points his thumb over his shoulder towards the large garden where you hear the thunderous music and unintelligible cheers of drunk people.
"They've just started. Eline knocked down the whole champagne tower and Uncle Mikaeli got into a fight with Dad. So, things are going great!" you roll your eyes at Sigurd's sarcasm and sit down next to him. "And you? Did you get tired of imagining making out with Émile?", you give him a smirk and watch Sigurd's eyes widen like saucers.
"W-what? N-no, not at all! Svein sent me to tell you that lunch is being served! Also, I don't like Émile!", Sigurd stumbles over his words and crosses his arms with a frown. You let out a laugh, knowing that practically everyone but Sigurd and Émile knew that the two of them had a crush on each other. "Oh yeah, and I'm a vampire," your brother shakes his head with a smirk and gives you a teasing shove, muttering for you to shut up.
The two of you fall back into silence, choosing to observe the nature around you and listen to the ruckus that is happening in the distance. These last few days have been a complete blur for you, a mix of various white dresses, different flavors of the many meals served at the various banquets, greeting relatives whose faces you had never seen before, all while your anxiety and discomfort skyrocketed due to nerves and the number of people that were surrounding you in a very small room.
But you'll be leaving in a few days and even if it's only for a couple of months, you'll be glad you won't see your father's face for a bit. Sigurd turns his head to look at you and you notice he has a somber expression. "Hey... I heard you had a nasty fight with dad today, in the morning... are you okay?" he asks in a soft tone and you cringe as you remember the words that came out of him.
"It was nothing new, just him always blaming me for everything. Only this time, I got fed up and talked back to him and that's why he got mad," you care very little that today was his wedding day to Dorothea. The woman doesn't bring you good vibes after the many dinners you've had with her and you're not exactly excited to have her in the house.
You'll never forgive him for the fact that he also got engaged to her three days after Mom's funeral.
You feel Sigurd lay his head on your shoulder as he lets out a long sigh. The anger you felt previously at the memory of the vile words that came out of your father's mouth fades and you calm down. "...You know, I was so happy when I saw you excited when you got the letter from the guild...what a stupid grin you had on your face, and what was up with your laugh? You sounded like a duck!", rolling your eyes with a smile, you slap him hard on the shoulder and Sigurd lets out a laugh. "Wow, way to ruin the mood, dumbass," you tell him between laughs.
Between laughter and stupid jokes, you forget your anger and sorrows. It's a moment of calm and joy before you must venture back to the garden. Sigurd is the only one who could make your day with just one dumb joke. He is your best friend and brother.
Even though you are only 14 years old, in a few days you will join the guild and participate in the initiation and training program of Herald’s of the Empire together with Yuuken Enma, a childhood friend of yours. Although you have heard terrifying stories about those who are sent to hunt monsters, you are excited since you will dedicate yourself to the observation and documentation of beasts.
A chance to get away from the home that brings only bad memories.
A chance to stop feeling the hateful gaze of your father and the pitying looks of your siblings.
A chance to forget what happened to your mother.
You will miss Sigurd, but you have promised to write to him every week.
You are excited about this new adventure.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
Sigurd, where are you?
I miss you. We miss you.
Please come back home.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
“A parcel arrived for you this morning, (L/N)”, a rectangular-shaped box wrapped in brown manila paper is gently placed in front of you. You move around some of the papers and photos to take a closer look at the address of the package. A smile forms on your face when you recognize the familiar series of numbers and the name of the sender.
You turn to look at the person who has left you the package and give her a small smile. "Thanks for the delivery, Fleurette. Good job today, by the way," the redhead smiles back at you and heads for the door. "Same to you, (L/N)! Don't miss dinner today; the commander decided to be nice to us today and told the cooks to make minestrone!" you let out a quite laugh and say goodbye to the girl, telling her that you'll go eat in a little while.
Fleurette waves goodbye and leaves the cabin, the flimsy wooden door slamming shut and the cabin returns to a calm silence. You watch through the dirty window as the red-haired woman catches up to a group of people and they head towards the mess hall, exchanging laughter and jokes throught the way. You return to your work, typing away at the keyboard and revising your notes as you fill out the long and tedious report.
Afternoon turns to night and with it comes the pouring rain. As thunder rumbles in the distance, you hear your comrades running outside seeking shelter from the rainfall as they scream and curse because they got wet. You even hear a guy laugh out loud when one of his friends falls in the mud and gets his uniform dirty.
And you never went to dinner, too invested in finishing the damn report so you could have some extra time to read before you went to sleep, since the group would be leaving the abandoned village before the sun came up the next day.
You finish typing the last words of the report and let out a happy sigh, taking a quick look to fix any spelling or grammatical mistakes. Satisfied with the final product, you save the file and shut down the computer, tidying up the table and putting everything away into the worn-out satchel that you always carry.
It was handsewed by Svein, who gave it to you the day you got admitted into the guild. He looked really proud.
You walk around the room, stretching your body in hopes of getting rid of the tingling in your extremities. It had been a brutal day, one that started with everyone waking up to a monster raiding the camp and almost killing one of the soldiers since it snuck inside one of the cabins. Thankfully, they managed to avoid the attack and came out with only a few scratches.
The rest of the day was spent trying to take out a massive beast known as an Hodeskalle Knuseren that was terrorising a nearby town. The beast is fast and violent, and they are difficult to kill due to their enormous stature. After hours of battle, the monster was defeated and everyone went back to celebrate, well you didn’t join them, since you went back to your cabin to finish some reports and paperwork.
You finish stretching and let out a yawn as your eyes feel droopy. Yet as you're about to grab the mystery novel that you left half-read, you remember the parcel that was delivered earlier in the afternoon. You take the heavy box and head towards your bed, wanting to be in a more "comfortable" spot. Well, at least the harsh and weathered mattress was way better than the chair full of splinters that every time you move you feel that it was about to break.
You tear at the manila paper to reveal a varnished wooden box. It opens quite easily, since it lacks a latch, and a smile immediately appears on your features once you recognize the items inside.
The dark blue sweater is definitely from Astrid since she was always worried that you could easily catch a cold, the pocket knife is from Svein since you recognize the familiar beautiful carvings on the handle of the weapon, the thriller novel is from Roger since he and you always shared your thoughts on various books, and the dried fruit is from Sigurd since in one of the last letters you wrote to him you mentioned that you wanted to eat some.
Nestled in between all of the items, is an envelope that has the name of each of your siblings written in fancy handwriting that addresses you. But before you can tear it open to read it, the door of your cabin swings open and harshly hits the wall, catching you off guard and in the process, almost dropping the box to the floor.
"Rook? What're you doing here?" you ask as the blonde hunter steps inside and holds up two bowls full of soup to show you, shutting the door behind him. " Bonjour, bel oiseau! I noticed that you missed dinner, so I have brought it to you!" he happily waltzes towards where you are and takes a seat on your bed across from you. He hands you the bowl and you thank him quietly.
The ceramic is warm against your fingers and the delightful smell of the minestrone makes your stomach rumbles in response. You hear him let out a quiet chuckle but don't pay much attention to it, distracted by the hunger you feel at that moment. Taking the spoon you scoop up some of the broth with chopped vegetables and bring it to your mouth, the liquid warming up your body and quieting the noises coming from your stomach.
You and Rook eat in silence but it's not awkward, it's nice and you don't feel the need to start any kind of conversation with him. However, your eyes wander and you find yourself discreetly watching the hunter.
He is an extremely strange guy; his constant praising and calling everyone and everything beautiful weirded out some of your coworkers and as such, he usually ended up working by himself. You were paired up with him for a short mission and working with him is great, as his skills help to avoid any kind of casualties and he has a sharp eye to notice even the smallest of details.
However, after that, he always kept looking for you. He would wait for you outside of a meeting you were in to walk you home, would greet you when you came back from a mission and there was even a rumor that he would look for jobs in which you were participating to be near you. Though you really doubt that last one.
You’re curious as to why he does that but he never tells you the reason. Even when you ask him directly, he’ll either make you blush by showering you with tons of compliments or will quickly change the subject.
Still, his company is never unwanted by you. Setting aside his eccentric personality, you find him to be rather pleasant and interesting to talk to. You snap out of your thoughts once you notice that you've eaten the entire plate of soup. 'I must've been more hungry than I thought’ , you place the ceramic bowl on your bedside table and turn to face the hunter, whose empty dish sits snugly in the center of his folded legs.
"Oh wow, I didn't notice how long your hair got," you vaguely point at his long blonde locks that now pass his shoulders. "Didn't the captain Leandro scold you for that?", Rook chuckles. "Oui , he's quite stubborn about it. But, I've explained to him countless times that I always put my hair up!"
"Although, I'd only cut it shorter if you cut it for me," the bastard winks at you and you feel your cheeks turn red. However, you don't let his compliments get to you and look at him with a slightly amused expression. “I say because the captain will surely pay someone else to cut it off for you while you sleep," unfortunately, it will not be the first time that the captain has done that to one of his underlings.
"Ah well, I’ll be sure to keep an eye out. Anyways! Bel oiseau , I am very curious about the package that you have in front of you”, lowering your eyes towards the box, you explain to the hunter that it is a present from your siblings.
When you finish speaking, your eyes focus on the bag containing the dried fruit. It contains several pieces of fruit, enough to share between two or three people. Without much thought, you grab the bag and hold it out to Rook.
"Do you want to share? There's enough for both of us and it will take me a long time to eat them on my own," the hunter gives you a broad smile and nods excitedly. You open the bag, the smell of various fruits wafting through the air and place it between the two of you, taking a dried orange and popping it into your mouth. The faint citrus taste brings back a series of nostalgic memories.
You spend your 19th birthday eating dried fruit and chatting with the eccentric hunter. In two days, you will return home and see your family again after being away on a year-long expedition.

I don't know why I keep writing letters.
I think it has become part of my routine.
But I'll keep doing it, so when you come back you'll know what happened.
Sigurd, where are you? Are you all right?
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
It has been five days since (Y/N) was knocked unconscious after using their unique magic and vanquishing the divine beast. The unbirthday party went according to plan, no mistakes were made and nothing out of the ordinary happened during the celebration. However, the host of the event and several of the guests did not look cheerful, nor did they seem eager to participate, only making short conversations and quietly slipping away from the party.
The host, Riddle Rosehearts, the so-called “Red Tyrant”, could not stop thinking about the past day’s events. Even when his mother angrily whispered at him to pay attention, the boy gave a short greeting and went back to thinking.
He remembers waking up amidst the debris of nature, hundreds of leaves, branches, and rocks decorated the ground, as well as huge cracks. Someone shouts his name. He groans, confused and in pain, as he feels as if someone is trying to break his back in two. His head spins, his vision is blurry, and he hears the screams of several people in the distance. His body felt so weak; he could barely lift his head up to look… That's when he notices the figure lying face down just a few feet in front of him.
He recognized the hair color and the different uniform. His heart began to pound even faster when he saw that they didn't move a single muscle.
He felt Cater and Trey's hands gently grasp his arms and began helping the red-haired stand up, but the young man never took his eyes off the figure. He watched as Yuuken ran up to them and place a hand against their pulse, but he couldn't hear what he shouted. To the sides of his vision appear Ace, Deuce, and Epel, who also run towards the figure.
Riddle tries to ask what happened and if they are okay, if they are still alive. But he can't get the words out of his mouth, as if his voice had disappeared.
Panic begins to set in at the bottom of his stomach when Rook gently lifts (Y/N)'s head. Their eyes are closed, but underneath their eyelids are several streaks of blood that seem to represent tears. Their veins are also much more prominent and even appear to be a darker color, they remind him of the cracked skin of a porcelain doll face. They sport a number of scars and bruises, some still bleeding profusely. They also seem to be much paler.
He doesn't know what overcame him, but he suddenly has the desperate need to hold them. To satiate his thoughts that they were still alive. Mustering all his strength, he shakes off his two friends and runs toward (Y/N), hearing behind him the two men shout his name in shock and tell him to stop running. But he doesn’t listen. Riddle collapses in front of them but manages to grab their shoulders and hugs their body closer to his. Tears well up in his eyes as he feels their weak yet warm breath tickle the side of their neck.
Great Seven, they were still okay. You aren't dead.
"Riddle, sir!" he shears the voice of Deuce, who places a hand on his left shoulder. "Ah! Dude, don't do that, you're just gonna hurt yourself and (Y/N) more!”, Ace exclaims in complete surprise. But Riddle ignores their comments and looks directly at Yuuken. He can barely get a word out, but between sobs and trembling, the young lord murmurs if they are all right. His heart beats a mile a minute and he feels the pain in his head grow even stronger, he’s silently begging that you'll recover from this.
Yuuken nods fervently. "They are fine, this is just an effect of their magic. We just need to get them to a hospital. Don't worry, Riddle,” the red-haired slowly and gently lets go of (Y/N)’s body and allows himself to be carried by Trey.
From there, the young lord only recalls certain bits and pieces of that day. The sounds of soldiers running up and down the corridor outside his room, Prince Malleus arriving until nightfall and fixing the mess in the garden, the silence after (Y/N) and other guild members were taken to the hospital, Epel dressing his wounds, Ace bringing him food, Deuce healing some of his wounds and Cater helping him change his clothes and bandages.
However, for the first time, after many days, Riddle felt that an invisible weight had suddenly disappeared. During those five days, he always felt that there was someone watching him, constantly making him say things that he never wanted to say, or forcing him to do things that he absolutely would've refused to do. He felt as if somebody controlled him like a puppet, barely having control of his own body and emotions.
But deep down, he knows that he’s felt like that since he was a child, his mother making almost every decision for him and never letting him think for himself or do things without having somebody constantly watching over his shoulder and criticizing every single move. He finally feels that he’s able to take control of his own emotions and actions.
"Thank you. (Y/N), for everything... and to the rest of my friends too", whispered Riddle to the empty room. He then closes his eyes and falls into a deep slumber.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
Ace walks alone through one of the many bustling streets of the Rose Kingdom. Behind him, the sky has turned orange and visiting hours will end once the sky turns dark and the stars come out. He quickens his steps.
He is wearing his headphones, which are blaring rock music. In his left hand, he holds a bouquet of colorful flowers wrapped in light brown tissue paper. He turns right and stops in front of a crosswalk, waiting for the traffic light to turn red so that the cars will stop.
His destination? Red King Hospital, where his new friend now lies unconscious.
When the cars stop, he starts walking across the street with a group of people who were waiting with him. He holds the flowers a little tighter, being careful not to break the stems, and watches out of the corner of his eye as they gently rise and fall together with his steps.
He spent almost half an hour attempting to buy the flowers. Since he is completely ignorant as to what each flower means, he just picked the colors he liked and if they had a nice shape. It also didn't help that he had to take pictures of each type of flower and wait for Deuce and Epel, who took their sweet time to text him back with their choice of flower.
He enters the large white building and his nose is immediately invaded by the smell of bleach and other cleaning products. The hospital is relatively quiet, with a couple of people sitting in the waiting room and a woman heading down the hallway towards the patient rooms.
Ace heads towards room 413 and unplugs his headphones from his cell phone, cutting off the music. He hears machines beeping in the background and quiet conversations come from other rooms. However, he stops a few rooms before when he recognizes two figures standing outside (Y/N)'s room. "Hey! What are you guys doing here? I thought you had other things to do" at the sound of Ace's voice, Epel and Deuce turn their heads to look at him. They wave at him and the ginger walks over to the two.
"My mother is feeling better from her cold, so I decided to come visit (Y/N). My grandmother said to give them this," Deuce holds up a small book that appears to be a collection of stories. "I managed to escape from Rook and ran into Deuce so we both came together," Ace recalls Hunt taking the apple boy with the intention of "meeting up with an old friend again."
"Oh, got it. Well, since we're here, let's go inside," but before Ace can grab the door handle, the blue-haired man stops him. "Wait, there's someone else in the room with (Y/N). They were awake when we got here but whatever they’re talking about seems to be important" Epel whispers and Ace watches them in confusion. However, curiosity gets the better of him and the three of them put their ears to the door.
Two voices are heard in the room, one from an unknown man and the other is the familiar voice of (Y/N). They seem to be coming to the end of the supposedly “important discussion”, which is probably about their work. "We thank you for your time again, (Y/N)!", a more cheerful voice interjects and the three hear a small chuckle coming from the commander.
"You're welcome. As I told you, the final details will have to be discussed with Yuuken," (Y/N) mentions in a hoarse and somewhat hushed voice. They cough, hearing someone gently pat their back. "W-We want to apologize for coming to discuss work stuff with you when you just woke up, (Y/N)-shii," mentions the other voice, only this one is deeper.
"No need to worry, Idia. I still thank you for coming to visit me. I thank you too, Ortho," the high-pitched voice lets out a small laugh. “It was good to see you again, (Y/N)! I hope that we can see you more often!”, the person named Ortho replies and each of them says their goodbyes.
Quickly, the three of them outside, remove their ears from the door and pretend not to have heard the whole conversation. The blue door opens softly and out of the room come out two boys with fiery blue hair. The taller one ducks his head and avoids the gaze of the other three, while the smaller one happily waves at them before catching up with the other one who hastily walked away.
With the two unknown men gone, Ace, Deuce, and Epel quietly take a peek into the room. (Y/N) sits upright on the bed, an IV tube is connected to their left-hand wrist and a dark blue letter sits on their lap. Ace notices that (Y/N) looks exhausted, their wounds already healed, leaving only behind some scars, and there are dark circles under their eyes. Seeming to notice some new presence, the commander turns their head and comes face to face with the three boys. They give them a small smile.
"H-Hello. It’s nice to see you three. You guys can come in," they say in a hushed voice before coughing once again. First to pass is Epel, who gives (Y/N) a short hug, followed by Deuce who greets them and gives them his gift. Ace is the last to come in, closing the door behind him and placing the flowers near the letter they had left on the table.
"How are you feeling?" asks Deuce. "I feel fine, just a little headache and those annoying coughs. How are you guys doing?" Ace drags a chair over and places it next to the bed, taking a seat and crossing his leg as he lets out a sigh. "We’re fine, only a few scars and bruises that is,” (Y/N) nods before grabbing a glass of water that was placed on a nearby table and taking a sip.
“I see… what about the rest?”, they ask in a hushed tone. “Trey and Cater are also fine. And Riddle, well… he actually seemed a bit lost during the celebration but he after that he looked happier and went back to his normal self,” Epel says and at the mention of the young lord's new change, the commander let out a small sigh, most likely out of relief.
Ace is reminded of the blank stare that Riddle carried throughout the entire celebration. He played the role of a host well and would put on his best expression with the nobles who approached him, but once he was left alone, he swears that Rosehearts looked utterly bored and completely lost.
“He recovered somewhat quickly, although the doctor recommended that he take it easier after the celebration, other than that, he seemed to be fine”, Deuce says and (Y/N) nods, their expression turning serious. “I see. I'm sure Yuuken has informed him that he must report to the guild at least once a month for a health check-up, right?”, Ace nods remembering him being present when the black-haired man gave Trey the instructions.
However, the ginger remembers what happened a few moments ago and curiosity once again takes a hold of him again. "Hey, who were those two that were here a while ago?" (Y/N) directs their gaze towards Ace. "Ah, they were the Shroud brothers. I can't tell you what we talked about because it's confidential," the commander lets out a somewhat quiet laugh, and Ace sulks at the answer.
"Ah, how unfair! If you told us about the beasts, why not about this?" Deuce nods along with ginger, seeming to agree with him. Still, (Y/N) doesn't say a word about the conversation. "It's business with the guild, specifically, between commander and captain of another organization," the commander says with a smile.
Everyone continues to talk about various topics, sharing laughs and anecdotes, until visiting hours are over. The three say goodbye to (Y/N) and each returns to their respective homes on their own. Well, Epel heads back to the hotel where he was staying.
On the way home, Ace thinks about the events that happened last week. It almost doesn't feel real, as if it was a product of his nightmares. The only thing he has to prove that it was real is some cuts and bruises that linger on his skin.
As Ace gets closer and closer to his home, his mind wanders to (Y/N). He remembers when the smoke cleared and the hideous monster disappeared, he saw in between the ruble two bodies. Riddle was the first one to start moving but he went into a panic when the commander did not move a single muscle.
He thought they were dead.
But as Yuuken quickly searched for their pulse and shouted that they were alive,  Ace felt incredibly relieved... happy that they were okay.
He wonders why he worries so much for a person he just met not even a week ago. He accompanied them to investigate an abandoned campsite, when he heard Avery scream he bolted towards where they were worried that something happened to them, he didn't mind fighting a monster with them...
"Why?" he wonders as he arrives at the front gate of his house. "Am I... Am I so desperate for... a friend?"
His thoughts get interrupted when his brother comes out of the house and greets him, ushering him inside to eat dinner.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
Sigurd, I wanted to tell you that I think I finally made some friends.
I met them during a mission.
I really like them, they’re very interesting and funny people.
I hope that one day you get to meet them.

hello! If you don't mind explaining, what placements could be indicative of liking a certain type of music genre? i really like listening to rock/heavy metal/metalcore etc. and none of my family or friends seem to understand why lmao. my family even more so cause none of them listen to "heavier" music and im curious to know where this particular love of mine comes from considering ive never been exposed to this type of music at all and only discovered it by accident and it immediately felt like coming home. like this is where im meant to be and what im meant to be enjoying!
i feel like my scorpio moon might have something to do with it but also im an astro noob and im just mostly going off of stereotypes.
also idk if its relevant but my sag pluto is in conjunction with my scorpio moon (in the 10th house)?? iis it relevant? just an honest clueless question because pluto also deals with dark/heavy things doesn't it? and its one of scorpios ruling planets?
anyway, yeah! id just like to know what planets or signs could influence one's taste in music.
and totally unrelated but i feel like that scorpio moon also explains why some of the people im closest too all coincidentally have scorpio suns (and also why all the celebrities im drawn too have scorpio suns or risings 😭) even though various websites keep saying im incompatible with scorpios because of my sun sign. its not like i actively seek them out but nowadays it doesn't even surprise me when i like a celebrity and find out they're a scorpio. i just go like "ah, yes. that makes sense"
what do you think??
Hey!
This is one of my favourite astro questions I have received and I'm also a fan of 'heavier' music.
The alt/emo to kpop pipeline is real and amazing to be apart off.
Placements that can influence one's taste in music:
The most significant placement I would say is your MOON SIGN because whoever artist's moon sign matches your moon sign, you're going to feel their lyrics on a DEEP level.
So, I'm a Capricorn Moon and who is one of my fave artists?
Mitski.
Who also has a Capricorn Moon and a Scorpio Venus and I have CRIED...CRIED listening to her songs, they just send me in a deep state of melancholy and I love it.
3rd and 5th House placements because the 3rd House represents communication and 5th House represents hobbies and interests, including music.
Capricorn/10th House also have a love of nostalgia and all things vintage so I'm going to assume you like listening to some music that were popular before you were born?
If your Pluto is in Sagittarius, I feel like you and me are of a similar age because my Pluto is in Sagittarius and Pluto signs only change every couple of years.
So, if that is true.
I am safely going to assume that you're an emo/alt kpop stan like me and if so, Hi how are you?
I'm so happy we found each other!
We're always going to be naturally attracted to people who's Sun/Rising Signs are kind of compatible with our moon and venus sign.
So it makes sense that you're going to feel comfortable around Scorpio Sun and Risings because the personality and identity they project just naturally suits what emotionally nurture and stimulates you.
Moon Sign compatibility is always more important and significant than Sun Sign compatibility because emotional compatibility is what helps achieves long-lasting and happy connections.
Hope that helps,
Yours Sincerely,
Fellow alt/emo kpop stan
And btw...
My rising sign is in Scorpio
