Okay I just speedran The Sunshine Court in like 12 hours. I will be rereading it soonly and giving more coherent thoughts but here’s my main takeaways:

- Thought #1: Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck this book exists. I am on the floor I’m so fucking excited.

Spoilers below the cut

- I absolutely love that we get both Jean and Jeremy POVs. It’s great especially because Jean is an oblivious and traumatized and if we just see things through his eyes we would never get to see Jeremy PINING like an absolute icon. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s about the pining, the waiting, the yearning. I’m simple man, I like my books gay, angsty, and with tension you could cut with a knife. This delivers on all accounts.

- I love getting to see the end of tkm from Jean’s perspective. Getting to see him watch the Foxes v Ravens game was incredible. I’m a very big fan.

- Renee and Jean time! Renee giving Jean her cross necklace. I’m in tears, I’m dead, I’m on the floor. It’s not the right time for us 😭. Excuse me? I’m unwell.

- Kevin Day, queen of my heart! Getting to see how someone other than Neil canonically sees Kevin is an absolute treat for me. Jean’s weakness for beautiful men has become known. Me too Jean, me too.

- Jeremy, light of my life, I can’t believe you’re rich. At least your family sucks because I don’t think I could take it if your family was wealthy and nice.

- Jeremy + Jean meeting for the first time. Jeremy trying and failing to play with a yo-yo. I’d die for you. They are ADHD 🤝 Autism solidarity me thinks.

- Montana has a pro Exy team which is not at all plausible but I’ll let it slide because one Montana mention for the win and two the team is called the Rustics which is absolutely what we’d call a pro sports team if we had one. The only reason Montanan’s at large would commit to indoor lacrosse is that Kayleigh Day was Irish and so solidarity.

- Laila and Cat, my beloveds. The description of their apartment has me yearning for the same. They have a bay window with a window seat okay. That’s like in my top three desires for a home.

- Carboard cutout dog with a classic Nora pet name. I’ll love Mister B forever. I love how Jeremy keeps moving him around. I love how Jean hates it.

- Trans characters! Poly characters! Nonbinary characters! Nora, my birthday has come a little late but damn this was a gift!

- I am absolutely pronouncing Jean wrong in my head probably 70% of the time.

- I’m so fucking angry at the Ravens. My blood is boiling and I want to cry. Jean deserved better, Kevin deserved better, Riko deserved better. All the Ravens deserved better. I want to put Tetsugi Moriyama into a blender and feed him to the crows.

- Jean was 16. I’m absolutely incandescent with rage.

- Jeremy is so patient with Jean and I will forever love him for that.

- This book was a lot shorter time frame than I was expecting, mainly because I keep forgetting there’s going to be another one.

- The food control but is driving me crazy. It makes me so fucking mad. Let my boy eat. I want him to be happy.

- Jeremy has seen Jean looking 👀 ummmmmm hello? “More exclusively than you do, I think.” I’m on the floor.

- Laila buying Jean a sex toy?!? Oh my god. What would she even get him? I feel like he deserves a vibrating cock ring or something fun like that. That way service top™️ Jeremy Knox can use it on him when they finally get together.

- I love seeing Neil from Jean’s perspective. It’s funny how different he is from my perspective and Jean’s/everyone else’s. I’ve spent so much time thinking about him from Andrew’s pov that it’s weird seeing him through anyone else’s. Everyone is like this scrappy irritating son of bitch is gonna get what’s coming to him, and Andrew is like, well I can’t not fuck him.

- The second Jean mentions Drake to Neil. And then Neil immediately calls a hit out on Gr@yson. Neil, you will always be famous to me.

- Jean-Yves! I hope he starts using his full name again at some point.

- Elodie :(((((( I can imagine what Jean’s going through and I am so afraid for him. If he keeps pushing all these feelings down he’s going to break sooner or later, but probably sooner.

- Jeremy’s unconditional support of Jean has my whole heart. Jean has friends now. I’m crying.

Idk if you answer these but how would the Ros react if they had a nsfw dream about mc? (Deep crushing stage)

Lane - Lane would try to bury the memories of the dream deep down inside. However, he can’t help but think about it during unprecedented times.

Simon - Simon would embrace the dream, perhaps hoping that more of his dreams turn out the same way. He’ll definitely try to hurry up your cat-and-mouse crushing game so he can make the dream a reality.

Henery - Henery would feel conflicted. On one hand, he’s crushing, and on the other, he’s annoyed at himself for dreaming about such things. He’ll try to forget it, at most.

B - They’ll be embarrassed to even think of you that way. They can’t help it, though, because they know they like you and want you. They’ll feel awkward once they see you.

Samara - Samara is very nonchalant about the dream. She knows that her dreams form her deepest desires, and she already knew that you were one of them. She’ll go on about her day.

M - M would just be overwhelmingly happy confused. They know how they feel about you, and their dream just solidified it. The dream is all they’ll be able to think about, and they secretly wish that they can dream about it again.

Knox - Knox has always been told to follow their dreams. So, it’s obvious that Knox will try to make their dream come true by increasing their advances on you. They believe that you two do not have to be in a relationship to enjoy the pleasures they dreamt of.

countdown to tsc: apr 8., 2024, 23:51 pdt

63. indigo skies just before dawn // jeremy knox, in the early morning light

“Why are you – Jesus, Cat, would you turn that off?” Jeremy says, holding a hand over his eyes.

“Whoops, my b,” Catalina says, flicking off her torch. She gives Jeremy a smile, one that doesn’t shift off her face even when Laila snorts and Catalina drives an elbow into her side.

“Ow! Bitch,” Laila mutters, no heat.

“Why are we out here?” Jeremy asks before they can start up again. He loves them dearly, down to his bones, but they’re like a runaway train sometimes, and he’d really like to get an answer for why they’re up and huddled on the roof access at fuck o’clock in the morning.

Laila points. Jeremy’s gaze follows her finger, over the air vents and powerboards and whatever the fuck else is encased in metal boxes on the roof (Jeremy wouldn’t know, but his sister might), all the way through to a solitary figure sitting on the edge of the roof, one knee pulled up and tucked beneath his chin, the other leg dangling over the side.

Ah.

“Your room literally has a TV,” Jeremy says to Catalina, even as he slides past them on the roof access stairs to head properly towards Jean. She scoffs.

“This is way more entertaining,” she says, then turns to her girlfriend. “Babe, we should have brought popcorn.”

“What happened to your meal plan with Xavier?” Laila asks, snorting.

Jeremy can’t hear Cat’s response, only that the tone is vaguely indignant, because he’s halfway across the roof now. The wind isn’t very strong, but the light breeze snatches her words away, carrying them out towards the ocean.

They’re some thirteen miles from the beach right now. Jeremy wishes he were closer. Historically, the only thing he gets up this early for—unless one of the coaches is calling for an especially early practice for drills—is to catch the best waves before the rest of the city wakes up.

Jean Moreau isn’t so bad, though, as far as new habits go.

“Fancy seeing you here,” Jeremy says, stepping onto the raised edge next to Jean.

Jean, predictably, ignores this, just tilting his head back to look at Jeremy. “They’re not very subtle,” he says dryly.

“No,” Jeremy agrees, folding his legs in a complicated single movement to end up sitting beside Jean. “They’re not known for that.”

With a hum and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glance at Jeremy’s bare knees, Jean returns his gaze to the horizon. This high up, they can see the blue of the ocean, but only just. It’s not enough for Jeremy, who immediately misses it. He wishes they were at the pier, or the beach, or in the backseat of Cat’s van down the I-5, with her stubborn manual wind down windows and the salt air in their face as they approach San Diego.

Jean’s eyes are on the sky, the deep purples and blues of a world before the sun decides to show her face. Sometimes, when they sit here like this, Jeremy wonders what Jean thinks about. If he’s still angry to be here, if he thinks about Riko, about Kevin, about Renee. If he misses his family, or if they even count as that to him anymore. Sometimes Jeremy thinks maybe he’s thinking about Exy. He’s never been able to decide if that’s a sad or happy thought; on almost anyone, Jeremy would think Exy could be a good thought in moderation, but sad when it’s all you can think about. Jean is something different.

Sometimes Jeremy thinks it would be sad, if that were what Jean was thinking about so intently as he stared out into a sky full of possibility, because there should be something that matters more than a sport Jeremy isn’t sure he even likes. Sometimes Jeremy thinks it would be a relief; he’s known Jean for several years now, though only really since he came to USC, and even the last few months has been enough for Jeremy to know, bone-deep, that there have been many other things Jean has lived through that would be worse to think about.

Exy, for Jeremy, is a sport. It’s a game. He loves it, and he’s good at it, and he leads a team for it, but at the end of the day, it’s a game and he gets to choose to get up and play it.

He’s not sure Jean has ever really had that choice, but he doesn’t know how to ask. He’s not sure if he should, even.

The last time he spoke to Kevin, he’d started, a little hesitantly, “So, Jean doesn’t really l—” and Kevin’s face had shut down so fast—eyes big and green and mournful, jaw tight, lips drawn closed, like he didn’t know what would emerge if they didn’t—that Jeremy had immediately shut up, shaken his head, and said, “You know what, never mind. Hey, where’s the nearest vending machine? I need gummy worms.” That had drawn Kevin out of his head enough to pull out his phone and text Aaron—get fucked, came the reply, but Kevin just kept texting until Jeremy assumes Aaron gave up just to make him stop, because nine minutes later there was stomping outside and then, in quick succession, a scowling blond emerging in the doorway and a small plastic packet whizzing at Kevin’s head; Jeremy thinks that the one thing everyone in the world must agree Kevin Day possesses, other than the best hands in the game and the most handsome smile on the planet, is more tenacity than anyone else would know what to do with—whilst simultaneously lecturing Jeremy about his body being a temple.

(Jeremy’s heard the unabridged version of that lecture, where Kevin gets increasingly irate with Nicky, Andrew and Aaron as they one-by-one pull things out of the kitchen pantry that make him prone to cardiac arrest; he gets off pretty lucky. Maybe Nicky has a point about Trojans privilege.)

“I’m surprised they got you up,” Jean says, and Jeremy smiles ruefully.

“I think it would be worse if they didn’t,” he says. “It’s weirder if they’re just watching you by themselves.”

Jean shoots him a look, mostly blank, but something wry and amused flickering in his eyes. “And with you here instead, we’ll, what, give them a show?”

Jeremy chokes on saliva, his own tongue, and approximately any shred of dignity he’s managed to repossess since he was seventeen and he was trying to unzip his neighbour’s bra under her guidance and he accidentally got it stuck half-undone.

There’s a smirk on Jean’s face when he turns back to the sky, but his tone is impressively neutral when he says, “Yes, this must be endlessly entertaining for them. A much better decision than sleeping in, I’m sure.”

Jeremy forcibly pushes the flirting—was it flirting? He thinks so. He hopes so, maybe, but that’s a whole other can of worms to deal with later in the privacy of the shower—aside to clear his throat and say, “Hey, if it works for you…”

There’s a beat. Two. Then Jean says, a little quieter, even though he was already quiet to begin with, “At the Nest, we never got to see the sunrise.”

Well, now Jeremy feels like a dick.

“Not that anyone would have seen it with me,” Jean adds. “Kevin is terrible at waking up, Riko was terrible at being away from Kevin unless it suited his whims to be, and my roommate—” He breaks off. It sounds like a pause, but Jeremy waits, and no more comes.

“Would you have wanted company?” Jeremy asks. He’s aware it’s a loaded question, given he is company right now, but it’s a real one. He hopes Jean knows that.

Jean furrows his brow. “It wouldn’t have mattered,” he says. He looks at his hands, then Jeremy’s knees again, then the sky once more. “My wants did not enter into equations. It never occurred to me to think about that.”

It’s maybe the saddest thing Jean has ever said. Jeremy has this thought at least a dozen times per month.

“Well,” Jeremy says, injecting a little more brightness into his voice than he actually feels, “now you can think about it. You’ve got company. How does it feel?”

Jean glances back from the sky, eyes roving over Jeremy’s legs, then his knees, staying there for a beat longer than Jeremy knows what to do with, then all the way up to Jeremy’s face.

“It’s not so bad,” Jean says, and Jeremy smiles.

@inahallucination @theluminoussunflower for ya __________________________________________________ "Neil."

Neil stares at Todd as he looked at him with a smile. "What is it, Todd?"

"I ... " Todd closes his mouth seemingly in a battle with himself before he lets out a breath. "I just need to say something."

Neil only nods, his smile never leaving.

"Ever since we've met you've always been beside me. I’ve always wondered why, and all I could ever know is that you liked me ... even if I was not as talkative as you and the group. And I thank you for that.”

Todd had a smile while he talked, Neil really love that. It’s good to see him smile again.

“And then as we talked together I started to get this weird feelings, especially when you were around which technically the whole day due to us being roommates. I was scared, scared that this might change things between us and I was more scared when I found it growing more as year went.” Todd voice shakes as he said that, with Neil wanting to comfort Todd as he lets his heart out.

“You made me feel like I’m special man in this cruel world. You supported my poems, was always there when I felt terrified. You believed in me when most don’t, and even if now you aren’t alone in that part, you were always my number one supporter.” Todd was smiling when he spoke, which in turn made Neil’s smile grow, he felt himself proud that he is Todd’s Number one.

“And that’s when I found myself accepting it, that I’ve fallen for Welton’s Golden Boy.” Todd grins. “You know Charlie helped, he overheard me having a panic attack about it and he was there, apparently he shares the feeling, just with a certain tall dense idiot but that’s a story for Charlie to tell.”

Neil found himself laughing, he knew about Charlie and Knox’s situation but to find that Charlie helped Todd made Neil happy. He kept his promise ... I’m glad.

“Charlie was so supportive of us you know? He said that I made you really happy and he hopes the best for the both of us.” Todd grips the flower on his arms as he continue. “I actually planned to confess the night of your play, after the celebrations, after the meeting, just us in our room. It felt the perfect moment.”

Neil felt his heart break as he heard this, he knew what’s coming next.

“When Mr. Perry arrived and whisked you away from me, I though that my plan to confess was ruined, B-But I thought I can still confess when you return right?” Todd was gripping the flower too hard now almost breaking it. “I thought that hey I can still confess to you, it didn’t matter if it was the perfect moment.” Tears fell on Todd’s cheeks, and Neil all but wanted to wipe those tears from him.

“Then I woke up and Charlie’s there, the others were too but I was too focused on Charlie cause he was crying and Charlie never cries. “And then he said the words I was dreading to hear. And then everything was a blur after that. You were gone, then Charlie was gone, then Mr. Keating. It felt like every good things in my life are leaving me and I can’t do anything about it.”

Neil stood there, since that’s all he can do. As much as he wants to pull Todd into a hug and tell him that’s everything is going to be okay, he can’t. He thinks it’s cruel that fate lets him stay in the world of the living, seeing all of the effects of his own decision.

“Cameron was too ashamed to talk to us, Knox was trying his best with Meeks to help me and Pitts to just eat everyday. Knox was our only communication with Charlie at that time but it felt so hopeless Neil. It felt like when you died, a part of me died as well.”

Todd stepped closer to Neil, staring at him and Neil saw the pain in his eyes, and he felt his chest tighten wanting to not look at his eyes but he found himself frozen, tears falling from his own eyes.

“I will never understand why’d you do it. I wanted to h-hate you, but I can’t.” He sighs. “I love you, and still love you. You made me feel love that I’ve never felt before, the love that I know I’ll never feel with anyone except you.” He smiled, it was devastating that Neil sobs as his felt his knees give up as he kneels.

Todd still smiles standing in front of Neil Perry’s grave, staring at the photograph of Neil in front of him. “I’ll never fall in love again.” Neil felt his heart shatter, standing up, his hands finding it to Todd’s shoulder yet it just phases through Todd yet Neil didn’t care.

“I ... “ Neil starts, as much as he felt elated that Todd shared the same feelings to him, he want Todd to move on, to meet someone better than him, someone who wouldn’t leave him and make him cry. “You can’t do that, I’m sure you’ll find someone better than me!”

Todd felt a chill, it seems like its getting colder. “I though of it you know?” He starts. “To fall in love with someone else,” Neil kept his mouth shut. “And ... it never felt the same. And then I decided that maybe I felt that love with just you. And with you gone I’ll never feel that again.” Todd then kneels phasing past Neil as drops the flower he was holding under Neil’s grave. “And I accepted that, so I hope, if you are out there, accept that.”

Neil found himself speechless as Todd laughs. “And yet I don’t know if you share the same feelings as I, Charlie did say you loved me as much as I did, but it feels better to hear if from you. Though that’ll never happen so I hope Charlie was right.”

Neil stands up with a bitter smile he spoke. “I love you too Todd, ever since we’ve met I’ve felt connected to you, somehow you make every dull moment on Welton, memorable. You were supportive and cared about me and made me feel like my dreams are worth something.” He felt tears falling again. “And I’m so sorry to make you cry like this, I’m so sorry for giving you so much pain, I’m so sorry for not being able to tell you that I love you Todd Anderson. That will be my greatest regret.”

“I hope you’re happy wherever you are Neil. Know that you’re always on my mind.” Todd said and Neil knows this. After all he followed Todd most of the time, he was slowly healing, which he was proud of but he can’t help but see some mementos of himself near Todd most of the time, especially the poster of the midsummer dream that was folded and was always on Todd’s pocket wherever he goes.

Neil felt himself conflicted, he regrets that decision he made, at the moment it was the only thing he felt was right as he was making his own choice, something that his father was trying to take from him. And yet seeing the repercussions of his decision he felt like he made a mistake.

And how he wished that night went a little more differently.

Neil and Todd didn’t notice footsteps incoming until they spoke.

“Neil.”

“Talking with our friend here Toddy?”

Neil looked as Todd turned around and there Knox and Charlie was, with a their own smile holding plethora of feelings.

“Yeah, are they already there?” Todd felt himself smile, and Neil couldn’t help but smile either, happy to see two of his other friends.

“Pitts and Meeks just arrived, and you know how punctual Cameron is.” Knox replies. “We can give you more time if you still want to stay here.”

“No-”

“It’s alright Toddy, I mean it’s not like we can always visit Neil given how hectic all of our schedules are, trust me we’d both know since were roommates.” Charlie jokes which made Todd laugh. And Neil stood up, giving his three friends some space as he smiles at them.

“It’s alright I think I’ve said what I wanted to.” Todd gave one look at Neil’s grave again, a bitter smile replacing his lips. Knox and Charlie both as well, sharing the same expression.

“He loved you.” Charlie broke the silence.

Todd didn’t respond.

“I do.” Neil spoke.

Todd eyes widened for a second, then he smiles. And Neil hoped, and begged that Todd heard him.

“Thank you.” Todd whispers unknown if its for Charlie or Neil, or perhaps both as he stands up.

“Ready to go?” It was Knox who asked, and Todd nods.

“Goodbye Neil.” Todd spoke, before he starts walking with Knox who said his own goodbye.

Charlie remained and with a smile he said. “We’ll take care of him, don’t worry.” And he was gone.

Neil watched them go, and as much as he wants to follow them he wanted to be himself for now. As he mind echoes of what Charlie said. And he thought that maybe...

Maybe he could start moving on.

Pencil you’ve genuinely become one of my favorite people to watch for recs, of all kinds, your taste is immaculate and the way you pitch your enthusiasm is magic, so my question is: ya gotta any good fic recs for your many blorbos? Not even for a particular fandom, you’ve pretty much only ever propped bangers so I’d trust your opinion on basically any story, but I’d devour a grab-bag list if you’re willing to put up with making one :D

asjkhfsfj thank you?? I am just a very excitable bean, lol. I also have no problems spreading my love/brainrot XD

Fic recs, you say? Well, I read a ton and I promise you I can't recall every fic I would rec on a dime (I'll remember one later at an inopportune time) but I can definitely throw some of my recent ones. I also made a fic rec list a while ago, with some of my favorites, so you can look at that one as well, if you haven't already seen it.

Okay so here's a few (I have so many lol):

(And as always, each one has different cws, so mind those as you peruse)

(Additional note: everything is gen or mostly gen, unless I say otherwise. Y'all know me, I am a simple gen/found-family-seeking aroace lass.)

Monkey King's Guide to Physical Contact

by Leonardo_Charles_BlueWood_21 (@art-and-writing-knox-me-down)

Fandom: Lego Monkie Kid / Journey to the West Rating: T Words: 15,913 Status: Complete Oneshot

「Sun Wukong has gone a long time without a hug. Not easy to stay intact once he gets one.

Monkey King gets a hug and has a breakdown cause he's touch starved as heck.」

I've recently re-read this, and even knowing exactly how it was going to go, I still teared up a bit. I have never wished harder than I can reach into a screen and hug a fictional character. The emotions and potent and visceral (and still in character!!! everyone is so in character it's so good) and this fic can dig into your soul if you blink. It does take into account S1 and S2 of Monkie Kid, but honestly, you can probably read it without knowing the show plot, if you know your Journey to the West synopsis. (Though LMK is an amazing show and I also highly recommend it.)

Essentially, have you ever considered how an immortal monkey deals with immortality? How a social creature navigates a world of customs, over and over, again? How he copes with repeated trauma? How he deals with outliving his friends? (Spoiler alert: it's not well.) Luckily for Wukong he gets surrounded by a cast of Straight Up Cinnamon Rolls and the oneshot has a happy ending, in that sense, but man it hurts. I never considered the emotional repercussions of a tactile creature such as a monkey being buried under a mountain for 500 years but now I have. Now I have... ;-;

Always Chasing After Something

by GriffinRose (@lunarose99)

Fandom: My Hero Academia Rating: T Words: 291,994 Status: Complete. Two parts, total of 43 chapters.

「While his class is on internships, Aizawa seeks out an underground informant to get information about the League of Villains. After a disappointing conversation, Aizawa finds the informant badly injured and takes him for medical help. And finds out how young this guy really is. And that there's another kid. With no parents in sight.

Look, they're underage, he HAS to get involved now.」

It's a canon divergent AU of MHA, that takes the synopsis of wait if Midoriya was kidnapped as a kid by the AfO foundation, and man does this plot slap so hard. You can set canon to the side and still get allll of that juicy character content. This is an Erasermic story, but they're already established and it's more focused on parenthood than romance. Because yes, this plot mostly focuses on adopting one traumatized and jaded Midoriya and one also traumatized (as per the usual) Eri. And it's amazing.

It balances the POVs so well. The suspense in this fic is insane and addicting but also the fluff is the fluffiest most wholesome bits you ever did see. This fic has it all. It's so found-family shaped, but with everyone (except maybe Hizashi) in that family being a startled cat that has to be eased into it. Slow-burn found family? Except also with the "I've had these children for two days and if anything happens to them—" mentality at the exact same time. I don't know how to explain it, but the flow is immaculate and the trauma and ptsd is very well addressed, without it becoming too grimdark or anything.

A Second Chance is Like Punching a Gotham Villain.... Don't Miss

by @writerlovestropes

Fandom: Batman (generic) Rating: T Words: 61,837 Status: Complete (28 chapters)

「Job opening: Housekeeper/Babysitter/Bodyguard for five-year-old Timothy Drake

Requirements: None. Pretending to be Mrs. Mac's son won't even cause the Drakes to do a background check (they won't even bother to check if you're a crime lord that accidentally traveled from another dimension either)

Hours: Negotiable. No extended home visits. Must only drop off food and water twice a week because a five-year-old boy and a houseplant apparently have the same needs.

Start Date: Immediately

Or: An accidental interdimensional teleportation causes the Red Hood to end up pretending to be Jason Mac and being Timmy's babysitter.

This is my story for Febuwhump 2023. 28 Chapters of Whump, Hurt/comfort, Humor, and Fluff! Updated once every day of February.」

This mad lad managed to turn a month full of prompts into not only a cohesive fic, but a really wholesome and moving one as well. Jason-centric, it's the cathartic joys of seeing a Red Hood from a more emotionally constipated Batman cast getting zapped into a world with a less emotionally constipated Batman cast, with Jason tumbling straight into adopting a tiny version of Tim. And with him, via dimensionally shenanigans, still having a developing siblinghood with his OG Robin Tim. This fic has all of the joys of DC-brand dimension travel and none of the frustrations, because even though it's a lovely whump/hurt comfort prompt month, family fluff is solidly on the table.

Night Raven Kindergarten

by @whitenoface

Fandom: Twisted Wonderland Rating: G Words: 62,244 Status: Ongoing, on a break, but 18 chapters thus far

「Join Night Raven Academy's kindergarteners on their adventures! Kindergarten teachers Trey and Cater try to survive the school year with this year's new roster of children that come with complicated parents.」

Y'all I made the mistake of scrolling past this once but I was incorrect: this is the best thing ever. Utterly amazing. I don't know what black magic was cast to keep everyone in character and explore character arcs when half the cast is five and the other are adults, and keep true to their in-story ages, but damn. This person did it. They did it soooo well ;-;

I don't even care if you know nothing about Twst. I will thrust this fic into your hands. (Though if you do it's sooo good. Cater gets all of his trauma addressed baby. And everyone else too is just asdkjfsdjgsg ughhh trust me it's so good.) This fic really does balance heart-restoring, tooth-rotting fluff and then the most existential, quiet, real-life shaped sort of hardships, and it's masterful. I laughed. I cried. (Legitimately cried: tears exited my eyeballs for a solid five minutes. I am going to draw that scene one day It's in my drafts. It's coming.) Sometimes you get the kiddos decorating cookies and turning them into toys; sometimes the five-year-old is asking why his dad can't pick him up yet again. Sometimes the teacher is getting a little too excited trying to share the joys of teeth hygiene; sometimes the struggles of being an only parent are a little too noticeable. This fic may be ongoing but I don't care; it already has it all, and each new chapter is going to come for my emotions. Which ones? Debatable. Could be all of them, all at once. (It probably will be.)

The Road to Gandharva

by HAL_berd (@halbyrd)

Fandom: Genshin Impact Rating: T Words: 2,746 Status: Complete Oneshot

「The road to Gandharva is long and complicated. After leaving Mondstadt, Collei spends a lot of time alone with her own thoughts and, perhaps worse, with the Master Conversationalist, General Mahamatra, Cyno.」

I've recently reread this one, and to be honest I have read it multiple times. It's short and sweet and it means so much to me. Cyno and Collei's special brand of awkward bean found family just gets me. (Somehow, despite being written before the reveal that Cyno has his own messed up childhood with even more parallels to Collei, it manages to encapsulate that essence so well.) It is a very sweet oneshot of a very (rightfully so) bitter, chronically ill and traumatized girl and an awkward human-weapon-of-a-matra just... traveling from Mondstadt to Sumeru. Just little snippets. Yet each snippet does so much for the characters, in such little ways, and I am constantly in awe.

#ask #anon #fic recs #yall this was just a few but I have no idea how to possibly list more #so did 1 fandom each of some recent stuff #or stuff I reread recently #all of these are very good I highly endorse them #lego monkie kid #batman #my hero academia #genshin impact #twisted wonderland

Okay so I'm answering this by ranking them from Heaviest to Heavier Sleepers, and then from Lightest to Lighter Sleepers, and including info about their sleeping styles and their preferred pajamas. We cool? Cool.

Heavier Sleepers

Johnny Copperhead honestly should be a much lighter sleeper than he is. It would certainly make his brother’s life a lot less stressful. But this skeleton sleeps like, well, the dead. A bomb could go off in the vicinity of this guy, and all he’d do is roll over and grumble at Knox to stop testing weapons in the middle of the night. Knox will – and has, in fact – carry Johnny’s sleeping body out to their getaway car, in the midst of bullets flying and fire raging around them. Johnny needs his sleep. He won’t wake up until he’s damn good and ready. Knox used to try to get him to wake up, but he’s learned his lesson by now. When Johnny wakes up in a place he definitely didn’t fall asleep in, his first instinct is to check his brother for injuries. He actually hates being such a heavy sleeper, but nothing they’ve tried does any good. They’ve both come to accept this limitation and work around it in their chaotic lives. He sleeps in his clothes, boots included.

B is a heavy sleeper. Once he’s out, he’s out. He’ll wake up for midnight emergencies – if you need him, or (if you’ve got a kid in the house) for kiddo nightmares – but he’ll pass right back out once his head hits the pillow again, and he won’t remember anything that happened in between evening and morning. He doesn’t like to sleep anywhere except his bed, and it’s only partially because he gets terrible quality sleep anywhere except his bed. On top of the bad sleep, he also feels very foolish if he falls asleep, say, on the couch while watching magical girl anime. Just as a random example. Look, Sailor Moon is a classic, okay?? He sleeps in magical girl anime shirts and matching shorts. They may all have been marketed to women, but he isn’t bothered by that in the slightest. He knows he’s cute as hell.

San is quite a heavy sleeper, depending on where exactly he fell asleep. If he’s in his own bed, he’s out like a light. If he’s anywhere near Percival, he’s down for the count. Anywhere else? It’s a gamble whether he’s actually sleeping, or whether he’s just pretending to sleep to prank somebody. He’s extremely good at pretending to sleep. You won’t be able to tell the difference unless you do something silly, like try to balance hot dogs on his head while he’s asleep, or make an especially terrible pun within earshot. Then his snickering laughter will give him away. If he’s actually in bed, he sleeps in an old undershirt and boxers and either socks or the blanket tucked tightly around his feet. He cannot fall asleep with his hands and feet uncovered. There’s this entirely irrational fear he has that he’ll wake up to realize his phalanges are missing. If he’s not in bed, he falls asleep in his clothes. Sometimes he accessorizes for his joke naps with a too small sleeping cap.

Felix’s relationship with sleep is very odd. He’s a strange combination of a deep sleeper and an easy-waker. But he only wakes for certain sounds. The shifting of branches. The breaking of twigs. The susurrus of bushes being walked through. And especially the crunch of snow underfoot. When he hears those sounds, he’s instantly wide-awake, and he’s ready to hunt. It’ll take quite a lot of persuasion to get him back to bed without hunting whatever made the sound he heard, and you won’t always be able to manage it. Don’t worry. He’s not going to hurt anyone. Not now. But he won’t be able to resist play-hunting whatever or whoever made the noise. Just so he stays in practice. Just in case. Felix sleeps in a clean shirt and gym shorts, socks on and ready to step into his ‘sneakers’. He calls whatever footwear he’s sneaking around in his ‘sneakers’. Sometimes you will have to clarify which footwear he means exactly, especially if he asks you to pass them to him. He won’t wake you, he just thinks it’s funny to mess with people a little bit.

Russell sleeps the sleep of the heavily medicated. He’s been on sleeping pills for ages, and he probably takes an inadvisable amount of meds to get himself to knock all the way out. It’s something he needs to talk to his doctor about, but he’s quite reluctant. He likes sleeping deeply. And he’s pretty sure his body and mind just won’t rest without medication, at this point. He’s just starting to walk a long road to a healthy sleep situation, easing down from his current dosage to a more reasonable one, with help from his doctor. Russell sleeps in a long dress, an old style nightshirt that looks like a man’s striped dress shirt with a soft collar. It’s not a dress, Mallorie keeps telling him. He wears dresses, he knows what a dress is, but this is a night. Shirt. Say it with him Russell. Nightshirt. Dress, Russell will say back, shit-eating grin firmly in place.

Cobb doesn’t really sleep so much as he rests his eyes. He takes micro naps throughout the day, and he doesn’t really get any deep sleep. This probably influences a lot of his more absurd ideas, but if you try to bring this up to him he’ll just laugh at you. He’s going to have to crash and crash hard to consider that there might actually be something wrong with his sleep schedule. If you sit him down after a twenty hour long ‘nap’ and two missed shifts at work to tell him you’re worried about him, he’ll consider going to a sleep specialist. It’ll take a long time, because he’ll have to do a bunch of research on top of his already busy schedule, but eventually it’ll happen, and he’ll start trying to sleep more regularly. He’ll be incredibly bored laying in bed trying to sleep, so if you’re sleeping together, expect many bad nights ahead. He sleeps in various matching pajama sets, once he actually starts sleeping. He treats himself to a new set each week he stays on his sleep schedule at first, and then each month. Please do steal his pajamas and wear them around him. He’ll definitely appreciate it, whether they fit properly or not.

Mack sleeps like he’s been knocked out. And considering that he has been knocked out quite a few times in the ring, that’s not hyperbole. It might be due to head trauma. He should probably get that checked out. He won’t wake until someone puts in quite a bit of effort to get him up and at ‘em. He’ll be yawning and scrubbing his eyes and falling asleep standing with toast in his hand. Better get him some coffee, because this skeleton isn’t waking up without some help. He’s rather resistant to the idea of getting himself checked out for the whole possible head trauma thing. He says the ringside docs are good enough for him. It drives Cobb bonkers. He’ll only agree if you bring up how dangerous diving is with a head injury for humans. Surely it’s not all that different for monsters, is it? He’ll be taking a day off to drive himself to the doctor if you bring that up. He doesn’t want anything to jeopardize his diving. Turns out he’ll need to take some supplements to keep his head on straight, but he’s generally okay. The supplements won’t help him wake up at all, that’s just him, but it’s a good thing you pushed him to check. That could’ve been dangerous. Mack sleeps bare bones. And socks. Mainly so he can watch the disgruntled and disgusted and confused expressions on the faces of people who ask. It comes up fairly often, especially because he’ll have to borrow pajamas for any sleepovers at friends’ houses after game nights or parties.

Sparks sleeps like a well-adjusted, well-exercised monster should. He falls asleep easy and only wakes when he’s meant to. He’s been using the same alarm for years and he’s never gotten tired of it or stopped loving the song. Some say it’s witchcraft. Some say it’s luck. Sparks just says that he’s a superior being, then winks and saunters away. It’s adorably infuriating. He sleeps in lacy sleep bras and panties. He loves the look of lace on his bare bones, and he’ll want you to love it too. He buys new sets all the time, so you’ll rarely catch him in the same set twice, unless it’s an obvious favorite of yours. He’ll keep those for special occasions. He won’t ever tell you what he does with all the old sets, or how he gets enough money to buy new ones all the time, but you can probably guess. It doesn’t bother him, so if you’re his partner, it shouldn’t bother you either.

Lighter Sleepers

Knox Copperhead lives in a time and universe where he has to be alert and ready to run at a moment’s notice. He is, by necessity, a very light sleeper. He would much prefer to be a heavy sleeper, but he simply cannot afford the luxury of truly deep sleep. He resented Johnny for his deep sleep for a time, but now he sees it as the disadvantage it truly is. The only time Knox truly sleeps deeply is when he knows someone else is on watch. If it’s Johnny, he’ll sleep in a bed or curled up on whatever comfortable surface he can find. If it’s you, he’s going to want to sleep curled around you like a cat. You’ll most likely be able to use him as a backrest, so hope you don’t mind that. Also please don’t mind the drool. When he’s deeply asleep for once, he’ll drool like crazy. Wear washable clothes, or strategically position a washcloth by his mouth. He won’t wake until someone says his name or shakes him, now. But once he’s up, he’s wide awake.

Parlo is a light sleeper out of worn necessity, and he’ll never change. He honestly doesn’t want to. He likes his ability to spring out of bed and into action at the slightest provocation. He thinks it’s a healthy and correct response to attack whatever wakes him up, though these days he’s attacking with his sharp tongue instead of his sharp bone swords. Maybe you’ll be able to convince him that he’s wrong about that? He’ll find himself yelling at you one day for waking him up, and he never actually wanted to do that to you. That’ll be his breaking point, and he’ll be willing to talk to a professional about it after that, and it’ll help him a lot. He’ll eventually get to a point where he’ll feel comfortable waking slowly, taking in the morning quietly instead of jumping up and into action right away, but it’ll take a long time. He sleeps in a fabric version of his uniform at first, but then he’ll buy himself nice satin pajama sets, to help him really enjoy and indulge in sleeping.

Pan is a very light sleeper, and he hates it. He wakes up to every little noise, and it can make him rather irritable. He takes medication to help him sleep deeply, but he’ll still wake to loud enough disruptions, and once he wakes, he won’t be able to go back to sleep for some time, despite the medication he’s taken. It’s incredibly frustrating, and his dancers dread the days when he doesn’t get enough sleep. He finds aromatherapy to be very helpful in getting himself to sleep deeper, but again, it doesn’t always help him get back to sleep. He wears grotty old t-shirts and cotton briefs to sleep, and if you catch him wearing them you’re either trusted beyond measure or about to bear witness to an awful tirade about respecting his privacy. He’s very embarrassed to be seen in something so uncool. He doesn’t yet realize that this underlying nervousness is part of his sleeping problem. Once he starts wearing cool band shirts to bed, he’ll be much less embarrassed and stay asleep longer.

Rhett is a light sleeper by training, not by choice. He’d love to just sleep the days away, to let go and really indulge himself in sleep, but he just can’t. He’s been trained to be awake and available and ready to go at a moment’s notice, and it’s not like he can just turn that training off. He’s trying to teach himself to sleep deeper and more, now that he’s not in that toxic environment anymore, but it’s slow going. He’ll sleep deepest if you’re right beside him, snoring away, within arms reach where he can keep you safe. It’s a subconscious thing, and while he knows there’s not nearly as much to keep you safe from as there was before, he doesn’t really believe it. It’ll be years on the Surface before he can truly relax. He wears flannel cartoon pajama pants to sleep in. No shirt. He’ll joke that he wants to show off his impressive physique, but really he just hates how sweaty he gets at night if he sleeps with a shirt on.

Mallorie is a light sleeper. He’ll wake at the slightest out of place sound, so Angel help you if he catches you doing something random or strange in the middle of the night. If there aren’t any incorrect sounds to disturb his beauty rest, he’ll sleep the sleep of the just all the night through. Mallorie doesn’t need any help with his sleep. He doesn’t. You just need to go to bed as early as he does and that’s that. …He’ll figure out that that isn’t kind or healthy to ask of you eventually, but it’s gonna be a fight to get him to that point. He sleeps in a silk robe, on silk sheets. It’s all purple. He has multiple of the same robe, for when he ruins one somehow. They’re all purple.

Oliver sleeps lightly, but he won’t wake at sounds aside from his alarm. Instead, he’ll wake when something or someone with harmful intent walks into the range of his magic. It’s unconscious, the way Oliver spreads out his magic while he sleeps. It’s also the reason he sleeps so lightly. If he could just stop trying to protect everyone in his vicinity, he’d sleep a whole hell of a lot deeper. But he can’t. It’s an instinct that runs deep as his bones, one that’s sunk into his very soul. He had to keep up protection on all of Snowdin for so long that it’s beyond instinct by now. He’s used to living on the Surface, he doesn’t feel the need to spread out his magic while he’s awake anymore. But unfortunately, his subconscious mind won’t get the memo for years to come. Oliver sleeps in pajama shorts in the summer and pajama pants in the winter, with a contrasting and super soft tank top.

Percival is a rather light sleeper. He doesn’t sleep much at the best of times, and can often be found running around the track near his and San’s home instead of sleeping. He’ll run for miles, just to get himself tired enough to collapse into sleep. And then a barking dog will wake him up and it’ll all be for naught. Thankfully, his body has adapted to running on very little sleep. It’s not a healthy lifestyle, but he’s not too sure what can be done about it. Eventually he’ll go to a sleep clinic and get some medication, but it’ll be a very long time before he’ll feel comfortable taking that step. Percival sleeps in the shorts from his old battle body costume San made him way back when. They’re threadbare by now, but he loves them still. When they fall apart entirely he’s probably going to cry. And then San will make him another pair and the cycle will begin anew.

Daryl is a pretty light sleeper, but he makes up for it with the ability to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. It drives B up the wall. Daryl does and will again fall asleep: beneath the kitchen table, on top of his desk, leaning against the piano, perched on the hood of the car, halfway beneath the hydrangea bushes in the front yard, stretched along the back of the couch, and curled up like a cat in the armchair. When he’s actually gotten ready for bed before falling asleep, Daryl sleeps in footie pajamas. He has a whole drawer full of various animals and characters and punny onesies to sleep in. He especially loves the ones with zip up hoods, because then if someone wants to talk to him they either have to wait for him to unzip his hood or do it themself. He will always respond along the lines of ‘and now i’m naked’, so be prepared for that ridiculousness.

jean :)

BITING AND KILLING RN

one aspect about them i love

the fact that he got thrown down the stairs 4 times LOL. jk. this is very meta but something i find really cool about jean is the way his suicides in the previous drafts are almost treated as canon suicide attempts and how it shapes his subsequent characterisation. like very genuinely i think knowing that the published version of aftg is the Only one where jean gets his happy ending makes the happy ending in question sooo much more impactful and i think it’s why i love him so much. like he did Not have plot armour but despite everything, things worked out for him anyway. god i fucking love jean

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH KEVIN. i think the thing with kevin and jean is that they were both victims of riko but they both knew that kevin leaving would result in jean suffering more, and ofc kevin had a right to leave his abuser, but i also think jean has a right to be resentful about it. i think part of why kevin and jean’s relationship can’t ever fully heal is because neither of them ever knew each other before riko’s abuse and therefore neither of them can really picture a “healthy” version of each other so like if your only concept of a person is while they’re mid trauma response, that is ofc gonna paint a skewed picture. they were both caught in the cycle of abuse of being victim and later perpetrator and i think it’s kind of reductive to act like riko not being there will undo the hurt that jean and kevin actually did to each other. whew that was an essay. basically i just wish more people understood that jean and kevin can probably never be friends and their friendship only existed bc of their mutual victimhood so like as adults it isn’t natural or healthy for them to revert back to that

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

i 100% think jean is losing his french because of the nest and he ends up doing french classes at USC to “catch up” because he starts to realise how many things he’s forgetting. i also think he never bothers to a) become a US citizen, or b) qualify for an olympic team because, unlike kevin or neil, exy is genuinely just a career for him and in the end i think his life’s goal isn’t an olympic medal but instead finding a life and hobbies OUTSIDE of exy now that he’s finally allowed

one character i love seeing them interact with

KEVIN. sorry it kind of fucking shows but i’m so obsessed with how fucked up their dynamic is it’s so so so sad and vitriolic and both of them are right to be hurt and it just sucks!! it’s a mutual tragedy!! and i for one cannot look away! the tension between them at the banquets when they realise they’ve gone from being on the same team to being enemies….ohohoho. and what i wouldn’t do to eavesdrop on the convo they had after jean left the nest

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

JEREMY KNOX BITCH #JEREJEAN. we deserved a usc novella in general with jean getting to live his best life but ESPECIALLY with jeremy. fanfic isn’t enough anymore. the detail in the extra content about jeremy teaching jean how to play pool and jean somehow being better than him at it is genuinely my favourite thing ever and i want to see more fun slice of life “jean getting a normal college experience” stuff

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

mmm i think at some point there was definitely something More Than Platonic between kevin and jean and this was partially weaponised against them by riko, thus making the fallout of their friendship even more toxic. just a vibe i get. on a happier note i like to think that jean tries to teach jeremy french but realises that he’s actually a terrible teacher and when he taught kevin kevin had been doing a lot of the heavy lifting LMAO. i also think that while he never becomes friends with kevin again, things do lighten between them slightly after they both graduate and between riko’s death and jeremy they’re able to stay on mutually decent terms + attend each other’s weddings

#aftg #jean moreau #as always any excuse to cry over jean is a good excuse

tumblr search dont fail me now but i coulda SWORN i shared this somewhere. Anyways i found this again and spruced it up a little to chuck at u mwah

How my trio would react to being picked up bridal style by Krow

(All Doves, different timelines yada yada let me have my fun) (SFW if suggestive by Knox's response.)

Issac✂️

Issac yelps, face blossoming into a bright red. He braced a hand against Krow’s shoulder. He seems to freeze to process the new position. "O-Oh." Issac buries his head into the curve of Krow's shoulder to hide his red face. "I- um, I think it's really cool that you're this strong." He mumbles, messy hair brushing against Krow’s neck.

Prim 💕

"Ah!" She exclaims, surprised by the smooth action. Her smile grows bigger as she giggles, cupping Krow's cheeks and nuzzling his face. "I never knew you were this strong! Can you carry me around more, pretty please?" She kicks her feet happily as her tail wags. Prim peppers kisses onto Krow's face.

Knox 💛

Surprised Pikachu face. He's stock still as his much larger stature is held very easily by Krow. He lets out a slow exhale, loosening up. "Damn." He mutters, glancing at Krow. "Use this strength in bed sometime." His neutral expression doesn't reveal much but the avoidant gaze with the subtle blush and flicking tail is very telling.

(I could have sworn I had gotten and answered this ask previously, but ah well. I'll answer and post it again cause this is my blog. :3)

With Isaac~

Krow would give a confident, bordering on smug, smirk as blush flushes over Isaac's cheeks, blooming to a delightful red. The artist's smile widened as Isaac buried his head into his shoulder and had to give a small laugh at the compliment. "I-I'm glad you t-think so my S-Songbird." he says and lowers his tone to a soft whisper, "P-perhaps I can... demonstrate s-some of my other t-talents a bit more privately?"

((Sorry not sorry he's cheeky))

With Prim~

Her giggling was infectious and Krow couldn't help but giggle along with her, returning her affectionate nuzzling with some of his own; having her so close he could take in her perfume, it was heavenly. "O-of course D-Dove. Nothing would m-make me happier." he'd say with a wide smile.

With Knox~

There was a certain thrill Krow got when he witnessed the uncharacteristic look of surprise on Knox's features as he was easily scooped up like a kitten instead of a man that easily was several inches taller than him. To his remark though, Krow barked out a laugh. "Oh?" he says in a tone that didn't even hide the growing sense of mischief, a smile flashing some of his pointed teeth, "a c-challenge? ...B-be careful for w-what you wish for m-my Muse." the artist said devilishly.

#krow asked and answered #krow in character #the krow's nest #dove aviary #dove prim #dove isaac #dove knox

microbiologists and missiles go together I don't know what he means

has learned missile launches are very simple to perform. Single button.

"EEEAAAHHHHH"

"blehblblbhe!" "menmeh?"

sniper round left a crater in the suit :(

TRIPMINES BAYBE

comes to the conclusion that if he kills dozens of people it'll be impossible to pin the blame on him. I think that'd work. I've heard a story like that before.

this is the worst subway in the world

"never fired a gun" sir???? how are you handling the guns you HAVE this well. Dude.

but yeah Gordon's background is pretty clean

this is a FAMILY military silo

knows a lot about spree killers. true crime fan??

LEECH PANIC

running a secret challenge here where I only breathe when he's above water. Not too tough but fun

return of the panicked underwater mumbling

looks less like he's swimming and more like he's pushing off the bottom of the floor

definitely got water in his lungs

"BLAHHHH."

e32

air is good! working relationship with it!

worms are NOT conducive to good business

don't panic, don't panic... PANIC

breathed in water again.

He's wet.

needs snacks so bad. States multiple times that he's hungry

wouldn't care if he were working for a James Bond villain company

used to show up to class drunk in grad school. Med student roommate. Would purge the worst of the side effects overnight with an IV of saline

uninterested at the tranq gun until he realizes he could get high off of it

"these are crazy times B)"

single pistol shot. He killed the shark. Truly.

xylazine :( can't get high off it

dropped into water unexpectedly, choked by a barnacle, dropped again. No breath

has read or at least is reasonably familiar with Moby Dick

WHISTLING YEAH

underwater humming

plans to hide from the government in a Dallas night club

e33

shrugs off the idea of killing barnacles because of how much blood they'd puke up

bets janitors survive more than any other employee

smells like mildew down there :(

a bit disturbed at how little the opposing armies are fighting

roleplays as a few other people talking out his options. Readies my System Beam. Knox and MacIntyre. And their CO.

the suit is indeed not designed for swimming. It's waterlogged :(

he is the Bruce Lee of physics

the SNOT MONSTERS are multiplying

ahhh yeah the eternal search for funding

gman.... Not sighting! I know he's here though.

would've liked to freak people out with a dead pig with a lab coat in the crushers

worried about things teleporting inside of him

has seen The Fly

broke a computer. Oops.

error 482, someone shot the server with a 12-gauge

knows Spanish. Assumes some random guy standing around speaks it primarily

incredibly bothered by being covered in tracking devices

the guy who told him about the devices gets to live

e34

his options are keeping the suit on or... Stripping down, he says? he doesn't mind walking around naked, he says..?

not stripping in front of the scientist

10 kelvin jegus

mumbles the entire time he's in the freezer until he gets to warm pipes

the aliens are Not from a swamp planet. They're fine in the freezer

outworlders... He's simulating specism right now

obviously doesn't think the guard before the assassin room actually killed himself. Dodges to the side, hears a silenced gunshot

Grimms tales... Don't include sniper fairies

you are NOT thinking like a ninja

no one is ever ready for ninjas- aye he says the same thing

you're not going to lift that door, Freeman.

times going quick!

funny noise as he moves the surface access lever

starting to like the bright orange HEV. Means people shoot at it instead of his head

makes a final wheeze before passing out

complains as he's being carried off about people plotting to kill him. Laughs with em though

e35

new intro. Cafeteria from Office Complex.

rambling like he's giving a lecture about physics as he wakes up

SO disoriented. Head injury. Brain damage?

actually sounds pretty chill

wants alcohol. Seems to prefer bourbon.

seems to just be creating memories wholesale here

not the first time he woke up in a trash compactor

alliteration :>

doesn't have a BIT of the last couple days

last time he woke up this disoriented was in Austria. He was missing his clothes for a bit until he could make new ones from garbage bags.

calls a headcrab a cockroach

used to watch national geographic

seems genuinely a bit concerned at seeing a corpse

wants to get back to the lab :(

sick air... Pogo stick jetpack combo

silly little jingle

tad winded from falling into the elevator

intends to sell the guards ammo back to him

My friend sent me a @ittydoor post and they said they wanted to see how the guys would react to cute nicknames for them so here we go

Nickname Hcs

Bam: Bammy/Bambi/Bambam/B

He loves it

Is kinda surprised at first but from you it's music to his ears.

But don't do it in front of his boys.

Bc then they think they can do it too.

"Hey you aren't y/n or ape. I better not hear Bam bam or Bambi come out of your mouth again"

Bam won't let anyone but you call him the nicknames you gave him.

The cutest reactions.

Blushes almost every time.

Ryan: angel/bear/dollface/stinky (affectionate)

Makes the man smile like an idiot.

If he's surprised he doesn't show it.

Will respond with "only for you babydoll"

Lights up when he hears "hey dollface how's it goin"

Bc that's how he knows you're at work and he gets to see you.

Almost always engulfs you in the biggest hug when he hears it.

Always trying to give you equally cute nicknames but he sticks with the basics.

Spike: Sj/Spikey/Bub (bc I think it's cute and he'd like it)

The dude is speechless the first time.

Turns around in shock.

Still doesn't know what to say about it.

"I- heh thanks hun."

Gets used to it pretty quickly tho.

She absolute sweetest

Knoxville: knox/pj/foxville (as a joke usually)

He just grins and chuckles.

"Aw that's cute sweetheart"

He gets one of those cheesy shirts he wears all the time with foxville printed on it.

Maybe even a coffee cup.

Definitely gets picked on by Jeff bc of the names but doesn't care.

Pontius: Bunny/bunbun/playboy

Hits you with the trademark party boy giggle.

"Aw I love when you call me playboy"

Obnoxious kissy noises.

Calls you baby bunny

He's an uwu boy when it comes to cute names and compliments

"Wait did you just call me Bunbun? 👉👈"

Steveo: O/Stevey

Homie just doesn't care.

He's used to nicknames.

Stevey low key melts his heart tho.

And will defend your dorky nicknames.

"Yeah she called me Stevey shut up I like it"

24 Days of La Fayette – Day 16: François-Louis Teissèdre de Fleury

Today’s aide-de-camp is François-Louis Teissèdre de Fleury, Marquis de Fleury and son of François Teisseydre de Fleury. He was born in 1749 and first served in the French army as a volunteer from 1768 onwards. In 1772 he was made sous-aide-major in the Rouergue Regiment.

While La Fayette and his group of fellow travelers are certainly among the most famous foreign personal in the continental army, their idea was by no means novel. There were several groups of Frenchman that tried one way or another to join the War in America (and for one reason or another). Fleury was part of such a group - and he was one of the, comparatively speaking, few successful ones.

He was made a Captain of Enginers by the Continental Congress on May 22, 1777 and was awarded 50 Dollar for his travelling expenses. William Heath wrote to George Washington on April 26, 1777:

The Three appear to be Officers of Abilities—They inform me that Mr Dean promised them that their Expences should be born to Philadelphia &c.—I must confess I scarcely know what to do with them, & wish Direction, I have advanced to Col. Conway, as advance pay 150 Dollars to enable him to proceed to Philadelphia—And to Capt. Lewis Fleury 50 Dollars—The latter is engaged as a Capt. Engineer.

“To George Washington from Major General William Heath, 26 April 1777,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 9, 28 March 1777 – 10 June 1777, ed. Philander D. Chase. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1999, pp. 277–280.] (12/16/2022)

He was initially assigned to a corps of rifleman but soon got promoted and re-assigned after he fought with distinction at the Battle of Brandywine, where his horse was shot from under him. A Boston newspaper wrote on December 4, 1777:

The Chevalier du Plessis, who is one of General Knox’s Family, had three Balls thro’ his Hat. Young Fleuri’s Horse was killed under him. He shew’d so much Bravery, and was so useful in rallying the Troops, that the Congress have made him a Present of another.

“Extract from a Boston Newspaper, [after 4 December 1777],” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, vol. 25, October 1, 1777, through February 28, 1778, ed. William B. Willcox. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1986, pp. 244–245.] (12/16/2022)

Fleury also participated in the Battle of Germantown, where, in classical La Fayette-fashion, he was wounded in the leg. The General Orders from October 3, 1777 read as follows:

Lewis Fleury Esqr. is appointed Brigade Major to The Count Pulaski, Brigadier General of the Light Dragoons, and is to be respected as such.

“General Orders, 3 October 1777,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 11, 19 August 1777 – 25 October 1777, ed. Philander D. Chase and Edward G. Lengel. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 2001, pp. 372–375.] (12/16/2022)

Fleury was ordered to defend Fort Mifflin on November 4, 1777, where he would be engaged in the attack on Fort Mifflin on November 15 of the same year. Fleury was again wounded but even more important, he kept a very detailed journal and his entries from October 15-19 were often cited to illustrate the events surrounding the attack.

Concerning his wounds (and his personal value) Colonel Samuel Smith wrote to George Washington on November 16, 1777:

Major Fleury is hurt but not very much. he is a Treasure that ought not to be lost.

To George Washington from Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Smith, 16 November 1777,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 12, 26 October 1777 – 25 December 1777, ed. Frank E. Grizzard, Jr. and David R. Hoth. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 2002, pp. 281–282.] (12/16/2022)

La Fayette became aware of Fleury’s brave conduct and wrote to Henry Laurens on November 18, 1777:

You heard as soon almost as myself of all the interesting niews on the Delaware. The gallant defense of our forts deserves praisespraise and her daughter emulation arethe necessary attendants of an army. I am told that Major Fleury and Captain du Plessis have done theyr duty. It is a pleasant enjoyement for my mind, when some frenchmen behave a la francoise, and I can assure you that everyone who in the defense of our noble cause will show himself worthy of his country shall be mentionned in the most high terms to the king, ministry, and my friends of France when I’l be back in my natal air.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, pp. 151-153.

George Washington had recommended Fleury and as a result of this recommendation, Fleury was commissioned a Lieutenant Colonel on November 26. La Fayette was very much in Fleury’s favour, and he wrote again to Henry Laurens on November 29, 1777:

The bearer of my letter is Mr. de Fleury who was in Fort Miflin, and as he is reccommanded by his excellency I have nothing more to say but that I am very sensible of his good conduct. (…) Mr. de Fleury receives just now the commission of lieutenant colonel, I think he wo’nt go to day to Congress, and I send this letter by one other occasion (…)

Fleury was also recommended by Colonel Henry Leonard Philip, Baron d’Arendt, the commander of Fort Mifflin. Arendt wrote to Alexander Hamilton on October 26, 1777:

Col. Smith who is well acquainted with this place, its defence, and my Intentions respecting them, will make every necessary arrangement in my absence to maintain harmony between himself and Colo. [John] Green—I must do him the justice to say that he is a good Officer and I wish America a great many of the same cast. I must render the same justice likewise to Maj. Fleury who is very brave and active.

George Washington also had something to say about this quarrel between his soldiers. He wrote to James Mitchell Varnum on November 4, 1777:

I thank you for your endeavours to restore confidence between the Comodore & Smith—I find something of the same kind existing between Smith and Monsr Fleury, who I consider as a very valuable Officer. How strange it is that Men, engaged in the same Important Service, should be eternally bickering, instead of giving mutual aid. Officers cannot act upon proper principles who suffer trifles to interpose to create distrust, & jealousy (…)

I do not praise you often, but in this case I will – well said, Sir!

There was no division in the army at the present that Fleury could assume command of and he was therefor appointed sub-inspector under the Baron von Steuben. The General Orders from April 27, 1778 read:

Lieutt Coll Fleury is to act as Sub-Inspector and will attend the Baron Stuben ’till Circumstances shall admit of assigning him a Division of the Army—Each Sub-Inspector is to be attended daily by an Orderly-Serjeant drawn by turns from the Brigades of his own Inspection that the necessary orders may be communicated without delay.

“General Orders, 27 April 1778,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 14, 1 March 1778 – 30 April 1778, ed. David R. Hoth. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2004, pp. 657–658.] (12/126/2022)

La Fayette, in the meantime, was lobbying for Fleury and other French officers – apparently to a degree or in a way that he later was unwilling to admit. The following passage was removed by the Marquis from a letter to George Washington from January 20, 1778:

I am told that Mullens is to be lieutenant colonel, if it is so, as that the same commission was done for Mssrs. de Fleury and du Plessis who are on every respect so much out of the line of Mullens who being by his birth of the lowest rank, and not so long ago a private soldier, I hope that those gentlemen are to be at least brigadier generals.

It was around this time that preparations for the Canadian expedition were made – an expedition under La Fayette’s command that never came into fruition and probably was never really intended to do so. It was here that Fleury was appointed aide-de-camp to La Fayette. Horatio Gates wrote to our Marquis on January 24, 1778:

Congress having thought proper and in compliance with the wishes of this Board, from a Conviction of your Ardent Desire to signalize yourself in the Service of these States, to appoint you to the Command of an Expedition meditated against Montreal it is the Wish of the Board that you would immediately repair to Albany, taking with you Lt. Colo. de Fleury, and such other gallant French officers as you think will be serviceable in an Enterprise in that Quarter. (…)

La Fayette in his turn wrote to Henry Laurens on February 4 and on February 7, 1778 respectively to inform him of the proceedings. He also used the opportunity to get a word for Fleury in and to gossip a bit about the same.

There is Lieutenant Colonel Fleury who not only out of my esteem and affection for him but even by a particular reccommandation of the board of war is destinated to follow me to Canada. I schould have desired of Congress every thing or employement which I could have believed more convenient to his wishes, had I not expected to see him before-you know he was upon my list. He desires to be at the head of an independent troop with the rank of Colonel. I do’nt know which will be the intentions of Congress but every thing which can please Mr. de Fleury not only as a frenchman but as a good officer, and as being Mr. de Fleury will be very agreable to me. (…) I have showed to Colonel Fleury the first lines of my letter, in order to let him know my giving willingly the reccommandation he asks for you. You know that gentleman's merit and that Duplessis and himself were made lieutenant colonels as reward of fine actions.

You have seen Mr. de Fleury. I fancy entre nous that he will not be satisfied in so high pretensions. He is very unhappy that Mr. Duer is no more in Congress because he is his intimate friend and confident-that will perhaps surprise you.’ Mr. de Fleury is entre nous a fine officer but rather too ambitious. When I say such things I beg you to burn the letters.

Henry Laurens replied on February 7, 1778 and his wording at the end especially is quite interesting given La Fayette’s previous letter.

I had the honour this Morning of receiving your Commands by the hands of Lt. Colo. Fleury. This Gentleman notwithstanding the aid of some able advocates in Congress has failed in his pursuit of a Colonel's Commission. You will wonder less, when you learn that the preceeding day I had strove very arduously as second to a warm recommendation from a favorite General, Gates, on behalf of Monsr. Failly, for the same Rank, without effect. The arguments adduced by Gentlemen who have opposed these measures, are strong & obvious. “We are reforming & reducing the Number of Officers in our Army, let us wait the event, & see how our own Native Officers are to be disposed of”-& besides, there is a plan in embrio for abolishing the Class of Colonel in our Army, while the Enemy have none of that Rank in the Field. Some difficulty attended obtaining leave for Monsr. Fleury to follow Your Excellency, Congress were at first of opinion he might be more usefully employed against the shipping in Delaware & formed a Resolve very flattering & tempting to induce him-but his perseverence in petitioning to be sent to Canada, prevailed. Monsr. Fleury strongly hopes Your Excellency will encourage him to raise & give him the Command of a distinct Corps of Canadians. I am persuaded you will adopt all such measures as shall promise advantage to the Service & there is no ground to doubt of your doing every reasonable & proper thing for the gratification & honour of [a] Gentleman of whom Your Excellency speaks & writes so favorably.

With the failure of the expedition, Fleury once again longed for an independent command and La Fayette wrote to Charles Lee in June of 1778:

One of the best young french officers in America Mr. de Fleury wishes much to be annexed to the Rifle Corps and is desired by Clel. Morgan.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 2, April 10, 1778–March 20, 1780, Cornell University Press, 1978, pp. 62-64.

In the end, Fleury was given command of a light infantry battalion on June 15, 1779. The General Orders for that day read as follows:

The sixteen companies of Light-Infantry drafted from the three divisions on this ground are to be divided into four battalions and commanded by the following officers;

4. companies from the Virginia line by Major Posey.

4—ditto from the Pennsylvania line by Lt Colo. Hay.

4—ditto two from each of the aforesaid lines by Lieutenant Colonel Fleury.

“General Orders, 15 June 1779,” Founders Online, National Archives,[Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 21, 1 June–31 July 1779, ed. William M. Ferraro. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2012, p. 176.] (12/16/2022)

He led his battalion into the attack of Stony Point on July 16, 1779. His conduct was, by all accounts, heroic and George Washington wrote on September 30, 1779:

Colo. Fleury who I expect will have the honour of presenting this lettr. to you, and who acted an important & honourable part in the event, will give you the particulars of the assault & reduction at Stony Point (…) He led one of the columns – struck the colours of the garrison with his own hands – and in all respects behaved with intrepidity & intelligence which marks his conduct upon all occasions.

His actions were indeed so gallant that Congress awarded him a silver medal on July 26, 1779. This is indeed quite remarkable since he was the only foreign officer thus honoured. No other foreign officer, not even La Fayette, received such a silver medal during the Revolutionary War.

Fleury obtained a leave of absence from Congress in September of 1779 and left America on November 16. La Fayette was at this time in France as well and was eager to receive a first-hand account from Fleury with respect to political as well as to military matters. Although still in possession of his American commission, Fleury re-entered the French army and was made a Major of the Saintonge Regiment in March of 1780 (this might interest you @acrossthewavesoftime.) A few months later, in July of 1780, he joined General Rochambeau’s expeditionary force. Fleury was one of the French soldiers at the Battle of Yorktown. He left America for good in January of 1783 and sailed from Boston to France. It was only at this point, that he resigned his American commission. In France, he joined the Pondichéry Regiment and was named its Colonel. He was elevated to a maréshal de camp in 1791 and fought in the battle of Mons on April 28-30, 1792. During the retreat, he was wounded for the third time. While his previous injuries were all relative mild, this one appears to have been rather serious. He resigned from the army not long after.

Not much is known about Fleury’s later life, and I have seen drastically different accounts of the time of his death. While some editors of (La Fayette’s) letters/papers have put the date of his death around 1814, it is far more likely that he died in 1799. Fleury never married and there are no known children of his.

François Louis Teisseydre, Marquis de Fleury’s legacy is the De Fleury Medal that is granted to outstanding members of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

Who do you think are the Silo counterparts to the Snowpiercer characters?

Okay here we go, some of these are gonna be similar or the same as the post @onetrainscifi made a couple weeks ago because they just make sense, also going purely off show Silo characters:

Melanie: she's what you get if you crossed Bernard and Jules. She's an engineer yes but her story, especially in season one, of hiding who she really is to keep them all afloat is more like Bernard's and makes it so it can't really be a 1 to 1 comparison with Jules.

Layton: a cross between Jules and Billings, but even these aren't entirely 1 to 1. He's like Jules because he's too curious for his own good and eventually ends up paying the price for it by crossing the wrong character. But he's like Billings because he does have the experience of having been in law enforcement before. So while I can't really think of two characters, let alone one, who are an easy and accurate comparison I do think that these are as close as you can get.

Till: Billings, with a little bit of Sandy. Young, some experience, have biases at first but judging by how Billings was acting might start to come around to the idea of there being other ways of doing things. And in the case of Sandy, realized that hey maybe this person can actually do their job.

Ruth: Jahns, with maybe some Sandy and Billings thrown in there. She's diplomatic and good at it, but she's by the book to the point of not questioning it and originally has her biases. A bit too dark at first to fully be Jahns imo but mostly Jahns, I'd say, with the other two characters' similarities giving her her edge.

Ben: another character I have trouble finding one or more characters I feel like fully fit. But I'll give it a go and say he's some combination here of Knox, Lukas, and a little bit of Shirley. Knox because the times we see Ben betray Melanie, it's not about using her for her knowledge and leaving her behind, it's because he thinks it's what's best for everybody, even when it's not morally correct. He let Wilford catch up to them because he thought the risk was worth it for the parts (and I could and have gone on rants about this before so I'll spare you them now and just say if you wanna hear them again I'll dig them up), and when Wilford forced his hand by braking he chose to leave Melanie behind rather than risk derailing all of them. So it's definitely not a 1 to 1 comparison to Knox, but there are those similarities. Lukas I feel like while it's again not 1 to 1, there's more similarity between him and Ben than George and Ben. Lukas is softer and more emotionally available than Jules and again it's not 1 to 1 because we've seen what happened there in Silo (though who knows what next season will bring), which parallels the fact that Ben is far more emotionally available than Melanie and arguably in some ways more devoted. The little bit of Shirley is because he'll help Melanie with her plans even when they're reckless and is loyal to her.

Wilford: a mix between Bernard and Sims. I don't really have much to say about this one it's more just vibes and it's not like, fully 1 to 1 for either of those, but they're as close as you can get.

Javi: Cooper, I feel like, is the most similar but it's not 1 to 1. He's younger than the other two engine engineers and he's not always included/seen as an equal like Cooper. Unlike Cooper though he's been around long enough that they really should know better that he's as good.

Bonus: a few Silo to Snowpiercer character comparisons because I want to:

Jules: a cross between Melanie and Layton. Brilliant engineer, definitely autistic like Melanie, may or may not be in love with her generator. Decides, rather than is dragged, to go up top to solve a murder and accidentally stumbles onto something bigger that gets her in trouble with the powers that be.

Bernard: a cross between Melanie and Wilford. He is hiding who he is and is pretending to be innocuous like Melanie, and lets other people be blamed for things he does. But while Melanie isn't bothered until she has to do her own dirty work when it's beyond like, drawering somebody, Bernard can and does his own dirty work at points and does not seem bothered by it at all.

Billings: kinda Till, kinda Roche. Has more experience than Till and will probably take a bit longer to come around than she did, the way Roche did. Has a family who is his main concern/reason for not questioning things the way Roche has one. But is also still new enough to this particular job to be like Till, and I definitely think he might be one of the first to start questioning things in the Silo.
