helloo i just read our inferno and i love it!! i just saw your # saying nobody said anything about it and that you weren't sure if anyone has read it so im here to assure you that it's been read and loved🫡🫡 i wasnt expecting it to go the way it did when i first started reading it (dont wanna spoil it for those who havent read it but shite got intense after the car scene, i was expecting romance i guess) but nevertheless i loved how things ended up there!

i'm new to the concept tho, you said something about this being haechan's version so it will be haechan's version for all other chapters (idk how many it'll have) right? also super excited for the next one <3

HI ANON OMG :( was not expecting this AT ALL and i cant tell you how much i appreciate you reaching out!! and im so glad it was a turn of event even with the warnings and whatnot stated LMAO BUT IM SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT :(((

so basically, this work was meant for hyunjae, so he's the original muse! i replaced all the names in his version to make a haechan/nct dream based version so my work reaches a bigger audience!! all chapters for haechan will be released a week after i drop hyunjae's chapter, so they're both basically being updated at the same pace!

its such a large series that im assuming we'll potentially hit 100k words total since the first chapter was almost 20k and im not even halfway into the first section of the entire plot (and there's 6 total sections...), but yes haechan will have the full story!! if i discontinue haechan's version, its bc i gave up on the original bc its such a big project 💀 i am very passionate about it though and to have people like you who reach out and show their appreciation is what really keeps me going, so thank you so much for doing this again :(

if you thought the first chapter was a wild ride, i can Confirm that the second chapter is just as insane, perhaps even worse?! im excited to write it and have yall experience it :(( this is a completely new kind of genre, writing style, and everything else for me so i hold this series so close to my heart AAAA it makes me so happy to see this i hope you can see how passionate i am about inferno 😭 thank you so much for supporting and i hope you stay around 🫶 and my inbox is always open! i need more dreamzen moots I SWEAR i get so sad knowing i have almost zero to none :(

thank you again! stuff like these always motivate so many writers to stay on this hellhole of a platform, and i really really appreciate you reaching out and taking some time to send me this :(( biggest hugs!!

#inbox: anon!#so giddy knowing theres a few who have been receptive to hyuck inferno and enjoyed it!!#i put my heart and SOUL in that chapter esp bc it was my first time with smut

Listen... this is completely random but I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the bedroom that Ray prepared for us from the first moment I saw it. It's the reason I bought pink wallpaper and bedding set for my new room AND I LOVE IT *kiss Ray's cheek as a thank you for the room inspiration*

And you know there's two vases of flowers in the room (the one on the bedside and the one on the table) so I was wondering if the flowers have any meaning behind it? Considering that Ray's in charge of the whole bedroom so it makes sense that he would decorate them with something meaningful -book anon-

Would you believe that you’re the first person to ever ask me this question? It’s been years and nobody’s ever thought to ask me about this. Purple is a naturally occurring color and you can find it, so it’s not as rare as a blue rose, but there’s a limit to what kind of flower you might find since it’s such a majestic color to have in your room. I’m not being bias or anything since it’s my favorite color, but yeah, I always loved that he put out some purple flowers to make the room sparkle for the player.

Now, at base value, it looks like a purple rose. Those can happen but you have to breed them specifically and with care to get it naturally. It’s just tricky since it’s rarer to find in the wild, even though you can find them! Another thought was the flower was Zinnia or Lisianthus. However, you can’t see the center of those very clearly and it makes it harder to gauge what I’m looking at since some of those common identifiers aren’t clear to me. So, with that, those purple flowers have to be roses since I can’t guess anything else from this angle.

Purple roses can be love and elegance. I do believe there’s a difference with a light purple and a dark purple! The lighter shades of purple would suggest love at first sight, but a darker purple would reflect deep love that never has an end date in sight. It’s interesting that these flowers are somewhere in the middle of light and dark, because Ray’s love is intense and flickers between fairytale and genuine.

Now, the pink and red flowers in this flower are even blurrier and the guesses that I could make are in the dozens. I don’t even think I could make a proper or real guess because of how limited I am in the view of the flower that he offered to the player in their room. I think if we look at the bouquet he brings you during V Route and at the start of Ray Route, I might be able to pick apart a hint on the post. So, let’s take a look at that real fast and see what we’ve got going on.

Now, we know 100% those are roses. He’s fond of roses and he tends to use them a lot in his design work. That’s an entire bushel of red roses and nothing more than that. He wants to convey the most obvious kind of love that nobody can dispute since it’s the one flower that is universal and everyone understands at base value unlike some of the more specialty flower that most people tend to overlook and forget about or don’t even realize that they exist. I think it’s sort of possible he slipped in pink and red roses in the display even if that would make a clunky bouquet.

It’s just that the perspective of the red and pink... hm, it might not even be pink now that I’m looking closer, it might be the light shining on it that’s making it look lighter than the natural red on the other side. I know it’s not orange since we’ve seen how they draw those flowers before and the colors aren’t even close to the right shade for that.

So, I’m going to have to assume it’s a smaller reddish flower here that stands for something that matches the purple rose. It’s hard to guess but I’m doing my best over here. So, like, my money says it could be Amaranth, which can stand for an eternal love as well as immortality.

So, a love that doesn’t die would match with a purple rose quite well since we’re going to Ray’s level of intense devotion to the player. There’s other flowers it could be but that’s about as good as I can get at the moment as far as my guess goes for these flowers since they look the most similar to my guess.

Don’t even ask what the ones on the bottom are since everything in that area is even more blurry and hard to discern. It has a sort of bell shape to it which could help you discern what family it belongs in but every other part of it isn’t going to help us out here. I’m crying over here because I’ve got no clue and I think that’s the one that’s going to stump me forever unless I think long and hard about what bell-shaped flower can have that coloring. Not many! That’s what I’ll tell you, my dear anon!

It’s harder to gauge what this pink flower is but he clearly picked it for a reason since it’s sitting at your bedside and it’s one specific type of flower. Now, I can try to narrow it down by wracking my brain. Snapdragon was the first that came to my mind since it can be pink and it’s very much clumped together in a bushel if you pick it for a bouquet. I not only assume it to be snapdragon because of the color and look, but because of the meaning that this flower holds.

Legend has it that concealing a snapdragon makes a person appear fascinating and cordial. Snapdragons can represent deception through lies, and passionate appreciation and graciousness. I think this is meant to be a hint about what the Mint Eye truly is. This is an extension of Ray, himself. He has chosen to say to you that he adores you, he admires you, but if you learn too much or get close to something before he’s ready to share it with you?

Well, the Savior did say that he was allowed to handle you at his discretion, after all. A beautiful flower, much like the rose he is, can be hiding thorns if you don’t dare to look deeper underneath the surface. I think that’s more interesting for an MC to think about if they found this at their bedside. it has dual meanings, like Ray and Saeran do. Although, unless you’re invested in floriography like me, you may not even realize what he’s trying to say.

I know you’re not really watching this season but given how things went in Second Self, would you say it tracks that Raffi went back into intelligence work? Specifically the undercover stuff? Information gathering is definitely her forte but with how things went down with Starfleet before she was proven right, going back to this area of work feels almost redundant?

hey anon! I finally read the book (which I actually liked to my own surprise). And yes, I think you're right. This return to undercover work in S3 feels kind of redundant for Raffi.

I assume you're asking me this because I've been trying very hard to make sense of Seven's nonsensical decisions in S3 (chiefly her being in Starfleet). And... to be honest that doesn't make much sense for Seven either. I'd have personally chosen literally anything but that for her. Honestly, I'm still stuck on the fact that “No Man's Land” had Seven pretty much state that it had been her choice to not pursue a career in Starfleet, and then Picard S2 threw all that out of the airlock. They've been moving Seven's characterization around with very little thought behind it, imho, even if I am still stubbornly trying to put it all together.

For what we've seen of S3 so far the show is again not too concerned to throwing curveballs and twists that don't track much with characterization we're familiar with (while I'm not TNG's biggest fan, from what I gather not much that's been happening makes sense for any of those characters). But we're stuck with canon and I like to find some kind of throughline even in the most thoughtless of plot developments, so I can definitely try to do the same kind of thumbtacking with red thread for Raffi!

I think we've not been given much of a motivation for why Raffi has taken the assignment she's currently working on. She seemed to not know the identity of her handler either at first? I do wonder what could make her go undercover, especially with those conditions. She certainly doesn't look very happy to be doing what she's doing, imho (her dialogue in 3x03 suggests that she regrets taking the assignment at all). I don't trust that we will be given a solid reason why she would do this, either, which doesn't make things easier, but this partnership with Worf makes things interesting now. I do wonder if she will say more about herself and what got her where she is in future episodes, maybe in response to something Worf has admitted about himself (or maybe in order to make him admit something?)

I seriously dread that the reason might be because Raffi and Seven actually broke things off and Raffi felt so low that she needed a dangerous mission to get her mind off things, a bit because that's sad (didn't s2 end on a high note for their relationship?) but mostly because that's such a cheap twist. Then again this is the season with Jean-Luc Picard's secret baby, so all bets are off.

(Honestly this is just a wild guess but hear me out: is this show really above making Raffi's relationship woes a good excuse for Worf to mention his dead wife for the first time since S7 of DS9?? Much to think about.)

tl;dr I don't think Raffi's undercover assignment is very in character, but I will continue to attempt to make sense of it as more episodes air!

this is my response to @femmeliarity ‘s post and @bloodstarvedbutch ‘s response, since klarissa me blocked ig. the post can be found here

1) calling this SA, even online, is an absolutely wild thing to me given NONE of what is described meets any definition of sexual assault. i’m assuming OP meant sexual harassment, but i’m not sure it meets any definition of that either

2) the fact this post includes nary a screenshot, or link, or whatever, indicates two things to me:

a) this callout post is based on very little actual evidence

b) i should take it with a grain of salt

and it’s very very weird to me so many people are commenting on this issue/reblogging posts about it without any actual concrete way for the rest of us who were not involved to see what was actually said. this is apparently a discord with several people (i’m guessing? more than 10?) and not a single person has come up with screenshots. not of the supposed messages to other people, not of instances where people were uncomfortable, none of the actual incident/context, none of the mods messaging each other about the decision to remove this person.

that’s...weird right? to everyone else? in a world where many posters are said to engage in leftist activism in a way that, at least in a way where we can acknowledge prisons and cops are bad, why are we using retributive measures?

3) “The allegations against that person sending an NSFW video to the server is completely fabricated.”

then what happened? what exactly did this person do?

4) “I have not spoken to this person or their partner, including through sending anons, but I did message with someone who asked about the situation, and told me they would try to make sense of it with them. “

Who? what did they say?

5) “This person and their partner have both made several posts about their removal from the group, each of which they had included this falsified allegation, or the narrative that we had them removed from another group, which neither are true.”

which posts? what did they say? which parts of the narrative are false?

6) “ I did not want to make a post of my own as neither of them seemed to be willing to listen, take accountability, and take the time to heal”

did you approach them? what did you say? what did they say? why are we assuming instead of just posting screenshots of what was said? i don’t need anyone to have URLs posted, even.

7) “ This person’s partner called my femininity as conforming to “tradwife aesthetics.” “

what’s the context here? tradwife is accurately described in the paragraphs below, but i’m confused about the application of that definition in this instance. jewish women and women of color (and jewish women of color) can also contribute to white supremacy--one is not exempt from aiding an oppressor merely because they are an oppressed class.

8) “I am sure many other femmes of color will agree, but we have to work extra hard for our femininity to be “acceptable” to white people.”

I agree this is true, but I am not sure of the connection between this and what was said earlier.

9) “I would never wish ill upon anyone and I understand this individual is hurt, but I hope they can heal, make peace, and move on.”

what healing do they need to do? how can they move on if restorative practices are not taken? how do they make peace?

10) it also seems, to me, strange to say in one post “we can understand that sometimes it can be hard to determine when someone has established a boundary or been made uncomfortable, so we wanted to be as clear as possible in our rules.” and then platform a reply to your post that says “ making callout posts because you got kicked out of a space where you made people uncomfortable and pushing multiple boundaries to be THE reason sfw rules were reinforced and expanded on.”

[bolding mine for readability]

people are going to be uncomfortable. that is life, especially in an online and explicitly political space.* these are also, i would say, not boundaries. they are rules. and that’s fine! but to say they are boundaries is incorrect and gives a false idea of how boundaries and discord servers work.

*i mean this in that marginalized identities are often political in nature + butch/femme are political identities

11) it is also weird when these are the tags left on the same reblog:

then how do you know what was said? why are you getting screenshots and we aren’t?

TLDR: we need to change the culture around behavior changes on tumblr, but also queer spaces broadly. the more this continues, the more we will see posts like this one, and situations like this one, which can (and will) explode.

#like idk maybe i went to public school but y'all are really bad at this restorative justice stuff

the anon with hyperspecific examples here, your lan wangji comparison is very apt, if not slightly insulting to kuroko because nobody can match lan repressed-horny-grip wangji.

(i do read dbd) (it’s very good).

but oh man, the ‘different genres’ thing is really prevalent in the chap. i just don’t get why kuroko feels like kagami will abandon him though? it might be just me but i don’t get why someone would put in all the effort of maintaining a relationship if it’s all just for a farce or ‘psychological manipulation’ or something. (can you tell i’m an introvert?)

looking forward to whatever comes next in bil! especially if it’s kuroko having the same inner monologue as xiao from genshin impact. i crave more of the pov: you are a sad little man

the repression olympics judges have spoken, so it shall be

at an overwhelming first place we have lan wangji of gusu!

and a commendable second - kuroko tetsuya of tokyo!

... who's third?

(thanks, happy to see it :) )

i am going to assume you don't know knb canon, then. it's alluded to with kise's little cutaway dialogue in ch 4 (different than canon but it starts the same). all the miracles, most prominently kuroko's ex-bff aomine, grew too skilled and ended up abandoning teamwork (and subsequently, kuroko himself since he's a pass specialist). to be talented is to stand apart, so even if kagami doesn't want to, he might by nature of talent and skill level -> is what kuroko is afraid of, even as he argued against kise in ch 4.

and then once he saw how his ex-teammates were picked apart + feeling his feelios at the upcoming aomine match + more kuroko squirrellyness (it's all canon stuff guys. if you don't know it i'm not telling you more) he's not sure what to feel.

someone being kind (if gruff) to him? someone giving a shit? too good to be true. also kindness and care puts into perspective for himself how fucked up he is - maybe too fucked up to be a good teammate or a friend.

also, it's common to think of the worst of worst-case scenarios on how others are messing with you when you have very low self-esteem.

^boom. ch summarized.

(for someone actually acting like a psychopath and messing with you like that - you never know. there are some wack wild people out there, doing whatever knocks their socks off. i've learned to never assume, thankfully with all limbs still intact)

idk the genshin impact so i guess i'll ???? take your word + grain of salt

we are not allowed to wallow in sadness. only measured doses for bil. hold trust in the verm process ✌

#inquiry #Anonymous #on bil #vibes need to have direction and intent to be coherent #otherwise it's the equivalent of white noise #but yes yes yes kuroko sad times aren't over #no one gets better immediately #and not after someone tells them 'hey. get better'#also also there's a lot of alluding to canon #so if you don't know some things will seem off or unreasonable

Okay I feel like this is going to be a long one, so i'll go ahead and turn my response into an incoherent list of observations, answers to questions or statements that probably don't require them, or to no question or statement in particular and maybe even an incidental unrelated fact or opinion:

Yes, it does suck, but also I decided to use a grater to make thin little flakes of chocolate just for the flavour.

Sucks you can't eat chocolate, are you lactose intolerant?

Commas are, indeed, very important. Did you know they use commas in musical notation to tell singers when to breathe?

Related to that, singing lessons (or even singing in a choir or something similar) could help with your reading aloud and breathing issues for sure. Although I don't know if you have any singing experience so I'd understand if that's not your thing. I wish it would be everyone's thing though.

Just to throw in a completely random fact, as I am not about to jeopardise the promised incoherence of this list: In medieval times red hair was believed to be a sign of beastly sexual desire and moral degeneration. I assume by your blogname you too are a redhead. I read this today and thought it was wild.

Aching muscles are a sign of hard work, so good job, although it is very important to rest said limbs!

Great job for still going out and facing things you get anxious about, I imagine thats not an easy thing for you. I also hope you have help and/or coping mechanisms to deal with the anxiety you're experiencing.

You're description of the "heartbreak angst fic" is (probably intentionally) quite vague, but I can make out several points.

I get not wanting big time jumps, although it could be fun to make a jump and then have R reflect what happened in between those moments in time. Could be a tad chaotic, but then again, you know me.

R crossing paths with their ex sounds rather angsty, so my answer to that is: yes please.

Have you already thought out part 4 completely? I guess (without any context) I'd end exactly where part 4 takes off, but very open. A cliffhanger of sorts, without falling into too much of a cliché ending.

I'm sorry if my answer is too long to post. Although we were going to stop apologising for rambling so scratch this.

Sending you all the love my friend (can I call you my friend now?),

-Chaotic Anon

it's the way i read this, processed some answers but ended up having a nap, then dinner and i just- wow suddenly it's half an hour to midnight...

i can eat chocolate, it's just when i'm stressed my jaw and teeth hate me and it makes biting solid foods a bit grimace-y, y'know, i love chocolate, just not gooey stuff like gooey caramel stuff, don't like goop, it's a texture no no for me sksks

i did not, music was one of the very much underfunded classes when i was in school, before they started cutting hours subjects to make more room for maths, english and sciences. my confidence is on the floor with speaking, singing is... i can hum, humming is better for me, my friend liked my humming once.

yeah, i'm a natural redhead, which means that i need more anaesthetic if i go for any medical procedure (there's research to back it up, we're hard to knock out) and i think only 2% of the planet have red hair, so i stick out like a sore thumb and red heads are barely anyone's type unless it comes to Natasha Romanoff from Marvel, so that's fun... times change sksks

yeah we had to demonstrate that we could do cpr on a dummy for a minute, i fell over trying to stand up after, so that was great too.

my coping mechanisms for my anxiety are messy and depend on why i am anxious, but my psychology degree plus the cbt i've had in the past mean that i am super aware of my thought processes, but it's hard to stop my body from freaking out e.g. racing heart, clenching my jaw in my sleep... when i can sleep, etc

yeah i forgot the name of the fic, is Secret Love Song, my recent one, i have part 2 down, part 3 just feels stuck because i don't know where to end it, or when to post part 2, but R's development in part 2 and part 3 is key to the endings and I just... i'm stuck. also the only way R would cross paths with their ex is the ballon d'or ceremony... and i don't even know where to go with that, so... yeah...

no worries about longetivity, my fics have been in the 5k+ range before so... i have no shame sksks

sure, sure, if you want to be internet friends red haired anxious pineapple such as myself😅🤔 you don't have to be though.

I’m aware this may be too personal so please, please feel free to ignore this, but how did you realise you were bipolar? I think it’s so good to see you explore William through your own experiences and I’ve wondered about bipolar for a while so I wanted to ask someone how they knew it. Again, so sorry if this is invasive.

answering this because i only just got round to going through all my asks today SORRY ITS BEEN SO LONG . i haven’t been diagnosed so take this with a pinch of salt i guess . also obligatory disclaimer that i don’t speak for anyone diagnosed or undiagnosed and this is my experience only !! my mood swings have been part of my life since i was a kid and it’s only since transitioning & working through other mental illnesses (dysphoria & anxiety, mostly) that i’ve realized how aggressive the switches are. honestly for a long time i assumed it was part of having adhd ? people with adhd get pretty wild mood swings too but not to THIS extent in my understanding anyway. i swing from periods of extreme energy & manic elevation / irritation where i get every single task done AND EXTRA, feel amazing, generally act careless, experience delusional thinking, and then out of nowhere will be hit with weeks long spells of depression where i’m miserable and angry and hopeless etc for no good reason and it feels like i’ve crashed back to a horrible version of reality. I’VE NEVER WRITTEN THIS DOWN BEFORE SO THIS IS V WEIRD TO TALK ABOUT LMAO but essentially all of the above presented to me as adhd until early last year when i was at my lowest, and solidified itself in my mind as bipolar symptoms in july/august this year .

idk if that answered your question OR if you’re even here still anon but i hope that helped to understand :) gonna keep this up for a very long time short period (overnight or max 24hrs) bc i’m not sure how comfy i am leaving this up for longer than that. but Ty for the q !!

I’m sorry you’re getting rude anons! I like your takes and am so impressed you predicted s3 would be Polin’s. I haven’t read Polin’s book yet so I have a question about what you said regarding Polin’s story:

“It will probably stick pretty close to the book with him then compromising her and then marrying her himself in an effort to protect her using the Bridgerton name.”

Which made me think that they totally rewrote s2 not because they thought it would be too similar to s1 (which the enemies to lovers idea would have prevented) but that they wanted to keep Polin’s story the same and they thought three marriages to save face in a row would be a problem. I mean, this would mean they don’t have an issue repeating the trope, they just had to choose which couple to keep it for?

And that seems so weird to me when, as you pointed out, this friends to lovers has the potential to feel very similar to Saphne because theirs was a friends to lovers too, and here they’re likely to force them into a wedding just like s1. So why the wild changes to the book for s2 if they don’t mind the redundancy?

Thanks Anon for being kind! I have a feeling it was the same person coming at me and their last message which I didn't respond to basically got me thinking my points hit a little too close to home and the uncomfortable truth for them. But in the meantime I did learn a lesson where I went wrong, if I don't tag in a certain way, the crazies won't come for me.

I wish I could answer for you why the writers/producers made the choices they made. If I understood that level of crazy I might be a very rich woman. If they were truly worried about redundancy then they made the wrong choice of series, or genre for that matter, to adapt. Romance novels, for the most part, pretty much follow a similar formula no matter what the trope is. As a reader you know what you're getting yourself into. Its comfort reading the same way mac and cheese is a comfort meal. Perhaps it was never the brightest idea to commit to a tv series that would last years when every member of the family ends up in some kind of scandal with their marriage.

I think for this reason we haven't seen any copycat series pop up when it was assumed after season one this was the moment for romance to make a comeback. In the end, its going to be difficult to find something that isn't so similar. I would also suspect that most authors out there who write romance novels are not going to be as accommodating as JQ and hand over all the rights to the show. I doubt a lot of authors are going to be so generous to any production company if they read TVWLM and saw how it was so messed up when adapted.

If I got into specifics with this book..... I don't want to give away spoilers for you since you haven't read the book, but Colin's reasons for marriage aren't just the compromise. It wasn't witnessed so they could have gotten away with it, but he has another reason why he feels the only option to protect Penelope is marriage. It's enough to differentiate from Simon and Daphne at least.

As far as why the writers (or Shonda the puppet master) are cool with giving such a similar story, I'd guess its just playing favorites. Penelope is the favorite in that room and they simply don't care it (the book) isn't the favorite outside of there.

You say that "a lot of the writers are queer" and I'm sorry but that's simply not true. The only "writer" that we know is queer is the girl who runned the stranger writers twitter account in 2019/2020, Dened. I remember that she got the job in June 2019, so after season 3 was already finished. So we have no proof that they were queer writers for the first 3 seasons. I disagree that Byler happening would be queerbaiting because they never actually baited us with it. Queerbaiting is usually like having jokes of two people being gay for each other but never following through, and teasing a relationship on and off the show. We never had anything like that for Byler. If it doesn't happen, it would be because all their hints were accidents and coincidence or just gay coding for Will only. The only time that could have been queerbaiting would be when stranger writers posted some Byler pictures knowing that they were a lot of Byler comments, like the "thinking about halloween costumes" Byler photo that was posted on national coming-out day, but once again it could be about Will coming out to Mike. So I'm really not confortable with everyone calling queerbaiting if Byler doesn't happen. That's not queerbaiting, they never promised us anything, they never even talk about Byler. I just think it would make the fandom look bad, I wish instead we could just say "well, guess we were wrong", you know.

hey anon!

As far as the writers go, Dened is the only one who has confirmed that they are queer publicly. But this tweet from a few months ago says "we", not singular...

Also, A few of the writers from s1-s3, have worked on several other queer projects. Take Kate Tefry for example who wrote in season 2 and season 3, and also wrote Fear Street Part 3, in other words, the gayest of the trilogy. I'm not saying everyone who works on queer media is queer, not at all, but queer people usually seek out and write queer media.

And, "staff writers" on each episode don't get credited, but they still work on it... So in reality, we have no idea if/how many queer writers worked on s1/s2/s3, because they won't be named as the writer for the episode, so we can't rule out the fact that some did work on the episodes just because someone who isn't queer or isn't publicly out (not trying to assume anyone's sexuality) wrote the episode. And writers are usually fairly private with their lives.

I never said byler happening was queerbaiting? I said if it didn’t it would be queerbaiting, and thats 100% true. Queerbaiting is not just clear jokes or like what you say it is, queerbaiting is and can be in the subtext and in the mise-en-scene as well. And if you take a second to look at the mise-en-scene and subtext in ST, queercoding is EVERYWHERE.

Just some short examples- Take the subtext of the word “crazy” in the show, put that with the crazy together scene, boom. 1000% Queercoding. The eyewitness and ghostbusters parallels put onto byler, is 1000% queerbaiting. Queercoding (and queerbaiting) is not explicit most of the time, but it is very much still there. I suggest you take a look at my byler proof slides if you want to get an idea of just how much queercoding is in the show, 200+ slides of it to be exact.

It’s absolutely intentional, so if they don’t follow through with byler, they intentionally put queercoding in the subtext and mise-en-scene to lead queer viewers on, which i am very much not cool with for obvious reasons.

I go to film school, and i have NEVER seen queercoding in any piece of media as extensive as the queercoding in ST and i am not just saying that, i have literally never seen so much queercoding in one piece of media. Even explicitly queer media has less queercoding in some cases… Take The Wilds on amazon, there is an explicity queer couple in the show, yet there is nowhere near as much queercoding for Shelby and Toni as there is in ST for Mike and Will. Or take Young Royals on Netflix, again another explicitly queer couple in the show but again nowhere near as much queercoding as ST. In fact I think them NOT teasing or addressing byler in the actual show bodes very well for byler happening and not being queerbaiting.

It’s completely fine if you don’t think them not following through with byler isn’t queerbaiting, I respect your opinion. But having dug into the show as much as I have, I disagree. If by some chance byler did not happen, I think it makes the show look bad, not us, and we would have every right to be upset. Ofc i’m not advocating for attacking Netflix or anything, but we would have been led on for sure.

thanks for the ask! I hope you're well! xx

32. Are you aware of how much money you spent? Tang and Pigsy

go wild god of fanfic prompts, go wild

I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR ANON JDFKLSJFAS But that's very sweet of you to say! And I couldn't pass up a great chance to write these two as the old (but not that old) married couple I know them to be in my heart. I tried something a little experimental, this isn't exactly how I would normally write them but I had a little idea and wanted to see what I could do with it.

Are you aware of how much money you spent?

Tang loved Pigsy. And he wasn't afraid of who knew that fact.

"You sure you wanna come with me to the market after... you know,” Pigsy said with a shrug as he rubbed his neck awkwardly.

Tang knew. He remembered the events of quite a few months ago very well. Over half a year if he remembered correctly. It was the last time he had gone with the chef to purchase his ingredients at the market, not wanting to go anywhere close to what was likely still far too close to the lair of the Spider Queen.

Especially not after their later encounters on the new year and the following weeks.

“I’m sure.”

It wasn’t as if they didn’t spend pretty much all their time together anyway. Tang had work, of course he did, and he wasn’t always in the shop 24/7. But whenever he could take his work on the go or take a break or just have the day off he would be by the chef’s side. He always had been for as long as he could remember since their first meeting in college.

At first it was simply from a sense of loyalty to an old friend. He’d kept in touch with Pigsy since they had graduated together, went to the restaurant from day one since it opened, and went back almost every day since then.

And then... he’d lost his apartment, an accidental electrical fire no one could have prevented and he had been glad no one was hurt, and Pigsy had just offered him his spare room like it was nothing.

Tang could have possibly stayed in a hotel until he was able to find another apartment, at least for a while. But not forever. Not the way people who knew who he really was thought he could.

Once someone learned you were the descendant of a long distant cousin of the Tang Sanzang they had a tendency to assume and want things from you after all.

He wasn't in any way rich, far from it. But people thought he was the second they learned he was related to Tang Sanzang and he was just well off enough for people to assume they were right. Just enough for people to expect more from him than he could really give. And he gave all the same, scared to disappoint. Scared to be left alone. Scared to be alone.

Not Pigsy, though. He didn't tell the chef for a long while before moving in and not for quite some time after, guilt from not revealing who he was making Tang leave him far more money than would be his reasonable share of the rent despite the fact he didn't really have it to spare, and the charade would only last as long as Pigsy was willing to ignore that.

It took 1 month and 28 bowls of noodles that Tang vastly overpaid for before Pigsy dropped an overstuffed envelope with all the excess money (which was really nearly all the money he could spare) he had given the chef right into his lap while he was attempting to study a book on their now shared couch.

Pigsy barely got out his question of "why?" before Tang buckled under the pressure and revealed everything.

His heritage.

His past with others.

His feelings.

That last one had been an accident. Truly it had. He'd never planned on telling Pigsy that he had developed a crush on him ever since he had asked him to taste test some of the recipes for his shop. That he kept going to the shop not because the food was amazing (even though it absolutely was, the best he'd ever had and he was certain ever would have) but because he just wanted to see Pigsy more. That the day he'd asked Tang to move into his spare room in his own apartment his heart had skipped a beat and he wondered if there was a deity out there both enjoying the idea of giving him everything he wanted on a silver platter while also reveling in the idea of it being snatched away in an instant because he was certain Pigsy had never liked him back.

Well. Was certain.

Until Pigsy stared at him for a few second too long before a lopsided grin spread on his face and he ignored every single other part of his confession to ask "you had a crush on me too?"

It had taken a minute or two for them to realize they were both hopeless idiots who had been mutually pining for each other the entire time.

They felt pretty silly after that, having lived together for a month when they probably could have been doing so long before.

"You don't have to keep givin me all this, you know," Pigsy said firmly once everything was out in the open, gesturing to the envelope that Tang now held in his hands.

"I know," Tang admitted, worrying his fingers over the edges. "It's just... everyone else always wanted more from me and... I was scared, I guess..."

"I'm not everyone else." Pigsy gently took hold of Tang's hand, giving it a careful squeeze. "I don't care who your great uncle or cousin or whoever was. I mean, I do, cause they're your family!" The chef corrected himself, flushing a deep crimson in embarrassment. "But you could be related to nobodies or a king and that wouldn't make you less you to me. I like you for you! I... am I makin any sense? I didn't go to college to sound nice, I went for business stuff!"

Laughter bubbled up from somewhere in Tang's chest, making him squeeze the chef's hand back.

"You are," he said, feeling a lightness inside him that he didn't realize he hadn't felt in a long time. "I get it. I like you for you too, Pigsy."

"Good," the chef said, a chuckle of his own resounding in unison. "Good..."

The two sat for a moment longer, staring at each other before Tang started to lean forward. Pigsy followed, just as he had with the laughter.

It didn't take long for noses to bump each other awkwardly and for the two of them to burst into cackles as they realized they would need to remember to turn their heads before they kissed.

And then they shared their first.

They'd been together for years after that. Scholar and chef, old college buddies now roommates turned boyfriends and then later husbands. Most people didn't even know they were married at all, "if they couldn't see it when it was right in front of their faces why explain it" was Tang and Pigsy's mutual reasoning. And for those that did know, some people didn't really understand their relationship. Not with how they carried on with the whole "freeloader" thing.

But that was because of one of Pigsy's only requests when they started dating.

"Don't feel like you gotta pay me for anything, ok? I don't know what other people have said to you, but you don't gotta do that with me."

Tang liked to take that a little far, admittedly, for the fun of it with the noodle orders at the shop. He couldn't help it, he loved everything about Pigsy! His smile, how much he cared behind his gruff exterior, his cooking (obviously), and how cute he was when he would let out that exasperated sigh at the end of the month and just look at Tang's tab as he took out whatever was extra in his half of the month's rent to pay for all but a few yuan of it and just change into that soft smile all over again.

The tab was real, but Tang always paid it at the end of the month. Even if Pigsy always insisted behind the scenes that he didn't have to. He could just stop giving Pigsy the extra cash and they'd wash their hands of the tab and the freeloading completely if he wanted to.

But Tang liked teasing his husband too much and Pigsy was happy as long as Tang was alright with that.

Something in the back of Tang's mind wondered if he was still just scared though, despite everything. As if the ideas of his youth were too deep seated to really go away, intrusive thoughts needling into his brain in a way that would need something even more life altering than he already gone through to get them to leave, and he kept the tab and the teasing around just for some extra security so he would know he'd get to see Pigsy's exasperated smile and hear him say he could stop again. He was certain he was just overthinking things, something he did more often than he would like to admit.

Of course... that was until Spider Queen.

It hadn't been a good morning already, the selection at the market had been poor and Tang was tired from a long work week. Pigsy had been determined to find the right ingredients for... something that, frankly, Tang couldn't remember after all these months. What he did remember was the way the Spider Queen drew Pigsy in, despite his sniping at him while they were tied up he knew that the chef really was only after actual vegetable, and being in that lair.

It was awful.

They hadn't been down there long, but it was long enough for Tang to suggest Pigsy stay away from the market entirely and order his food via online delivery. Pigsy thought he'd been jealous at first, until he realized that Tang was just... scared. Scared of Pigsy getting hurt, scared of losing him. Just scared.

Until MK had shown up there really was no telling if they would have made it out. And that scared Tang. A lot.

Pigsy didn't stop going to the market entirely, but for Tang's peace of mind he bought most of his food via delivery like he suggested and took MK with him every time instead. Tang refused to go back, not when he knew how close that stand was.

And then the Lunar New Year happened and Tang no longer really felt safe anywhere.

Oh he acted like everything was fine alright, but he knew Pigsy could tell how defeated he was in knowing that Spider Queen and her crew could just show up anywhere at any time now. It left him tired, having trouble sleeping, and just emotionally exhausted.

Until this morning. When he woke up before Pigsy and got dressed and ready to go and suggested they go to the market together.

He was tired. Too tired.

Tired of letting himself be afraid. Of Spider Queen. Of the market. Of his old intrusive thoughts.

After all he had used a giant gun sword on that one spider guy with the pony tail who insisted on teasing Pigsy for some reason. And went through whatever happened with that weird shadow puppet guy. Why be afraid anymore after all that weirdness?

So at the market they were, looking over the selection of ingredients together for the first time in months almost as if nothing had happened. No one would have been able to tell except for the way Pigsy kept looking over at Tang to make sure he was alright.

Tang loved that about Pigsy too.

“Tang you don’t have t-”

“I want to,” the scholar said firmly, handing his card to the merchant they had stopped at over Pigsy’s head before the other even had a chance to argue further.

“Tang!” Pigsy yelped as his card was handed back, gesturing to the bag of food he was being handed shortly after. “Are you aware of how much money you spent? That stuff’s expensive!”

“I know,” Tang said nonchalantly, smiling softly as he turned to head to the next stall. “I told you, I wanted to buy them.”

“But why?” Pigsy insisted, looking a bit lost at having to be the one to follow someone else through the market for once. “You know I’d never make you pay for anything... well, heh, except your tab that you insist on keeping open.”

“About that" Tang said, smiling softly as he turned back to the man he loved for so long. "I don't think we need to keep that open anymore."

Pigsy froze, staring at Tang in confusion for a moment before his eyes widened as he realized what he'd just said. He blinked, looking at the bag of ingredients, thinking about the amount of yuan Tang had spent before he finally caught on to what the scholar had so sneakily done.

The exact amount down to the last little bit.

Paid in full.

"You're serious," The chef said as he took in Tang's expression carefully, reaching out to grab his free hand softly and squeeze. "What brought this on?"

"Just thought it was time to let go of old fears," Tang answered with a shrug, and he barely had time to react before Pigsy tugged him forward with a tilt of his head and pressed their lips together.

Tang didn't keep count of how many times they kissed over the years, who would after so long, but he was sure he'd remember this one as vividly as the first.

"Let's get back," Pigsy said after he pulled back, smiling warm and bright and just looking the way being home felt. "MK's probably waiting to get that out of the city training started and we don't wanna keep them all waiting."

He loved Pigsy.

And the one thing he was never ever afraid of was who knew that.

Abo padawans And/or 5+1 anakin’s name!!! Also your Batman au gives me so much life! I adore it! Anakin as Vader/Batman is literally so perfect and fitting! Can’t wait for the next chapter !!!

thank you so much!!! <3 I hope to get started on the next chapter and have it up soon, it's gonna be a wild one :)))

(from this wip game)

I first posted about 5+1 Anakin's name a million years ago here and then did a little update that includes the premise of a/b/o padawans here, but I refuse to once again use the excuse of "I dOn'T hAvE a sNiPpeT wRitTen" so I wrote up some snippets for both just for you anon!!! I wrote them very quickly so hopefully they're coherent and enjoyable hehe

5+1 Anakin’s name (~400 words)

3. “darling”

Their first and current round had been going on for nearly thirty minutes, and it made Anakin feel quite pleased with himself. Not only was his mastery of the Force clearly on display, but so was Ahsoka’s – and who was responsible for the padawan’s mastery of the Force? Her master. And who was her master? One smug Anakin Skywalker.

“You’re looking awfully tired there, Master,” Ahsoka said as Anakin slowly hovered the pot over to her side of the common area of Obi-Wan’s rooms. “You sure you can get that little pot all the way over here?”

Scoffing, Anakin cocked his hip as he held the plant in the air just in front of his padawan, refusing to let go until he was absolutely sure Ahsoka had it. He’d lost this game too often due to an, “It’s not my fault you assumed I had it. You’re still technically the one who dropped it, so I guess I win.”

“Maybe I am getting tired,” he said dryly. “Maybe I’ll lose control and fling the thing right into your head.”

“Master-!” Ahsoka yelled indignantly, stifling her laughter as she reached out her hands, taking over control of the small floating pot. She tried to pull it towards herself, but felt a tug from Anakin, who raised an untrusting eyebrow at her. “I’ve got it, Master,” she grumbled, rolling her eyes.

Believing her based solely on the way her white markings frowned in concentration, Anakin relinquished his hold on the pot, only to watch it float for a moment before dropping and shattering to the floor. “Kark!” Ahsoka yelped, jumping back from the broken pot. “Ah, kriff,” she said morosely, pouting down at the mess.

Obi-Wan’s snap of, “Language, young one,” was drowned out by Anakin’s loud cheer of victory.

“‘I got it, Master,’” Anakin teased, smiling widely and putting his hands on his hips. “That’s 1-0, Snips.”

“I know,” she grumbled, looking over at Obi-Wan. “Sorry, Master Kenobi. I’ll clean it up.”

Setting his datapad down on his lap, Obi-Wan gave her an understanding smile. “Not to worry, Ahsoka. Darling, could you show her where the broom is?”

“Only because I’m such a gracious winner,” Anakin sighed dramatically, waving Ahsoka over towards the small closet. She didn’t move to follow, though; instead, she stood there smiling amusedly, markings raised as she leveled Anakin with a look. “What?” he pressed, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.

“Darling?” she drawled, flicking her eyes between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Anakin and Obi-Wan’s eyes snapped to each other’s in alarm. Shit.

a/b/o padawans (~500 words)

Dooku stuck his chest out proudly, smirking at his former padawan. “I have come to tell you the good news,” he said, nose turned up in the air. Anakin had no idea how Qui-Gon had put up with having the man as a master, and no idea how Obi-Wan currently endured it.

Based on the neutral glare Qui-Gon leveled at the older man, the answer was extreme amounts of patience. “Let me guess – Master Yoda took a swipe at you with his cane and you finally figured out you just have to hop to dodge it?” Anakin snickered beside him, earning a side glance and amused smile from his master. “It’s about time, Master Dooku.”

“If only you used the skills you gained under my guidance to do anything of significance, Qui-Gon,” the alpha growled, throwing a sneer Anakin’s way for good measure. Squaring his shoulders, Dooku composed himself once more and raised a brow into an arrogant arch. “My apprentice presented.” He sounded like he’d been waiting all day to brag about it.

“Really? Obi-Wan presented?” Anakin asked, perking up and looking behind his friend’s master with searching eyes. “Where is he?”

“He presented only two days ago,” Dooku said, curling his lip and rolling his eyes at Anakin’s question.

Qui-Gon placed a gentle hand on Anakin’s shoulder, drawing his eyes to his master. “Padawan Kenobi has surely endured a grueling twenty-four hours, as is typical with presenting,” he explained.

Biting his lip, Anakin nodded and worried at his padawan braid. He hoped Obi-Wan was okay; ‘endured’ and ‘grueling’ were less than comforting words. Anakin had heard that presenting as an alpha meant going into rut and into heat for omegas, but seeing as he had never experienced either, he had no idea how draining it would be to experience either for a whole day, especially for the first time.

He also couldn’t help but feel anxious dread settle deep in his gut. Obi-Wan presented, and had finished his first rut or heat. He could choose to share his next one with another Jedi if he wanted, according to the Code; he could ask another Jedi to help him through it and everything that entailed.

It also made unjustified anger and jealous swell inside of Anakin at this hypothetical Jedi. No one was worthy of seeing Obi-Wan in such a vulnerable state; no one cared about him enough to properly share such an experience with him. No one but Anakin.

(As a friend, of course. A platonic, unattached friend.)

The kicker was, Anakin had yet to present and had no idea when it would happen. He could only hope it would happen before Obi-Wan’s next cycle and that if Obi-Wan did enlist someone’s help, he’d turn to Anakin.

(Because they were best friends, and that’s what friends do: help each other. Whether it be finding the other’s lightsaber before their master found out they lost it, or fucking them through their monthly biological need to breed or be bred.

Totally normal things friends do all the time, and no two people were better friends than Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.)

#hopefully my wips will start to see the light of day once the batman au is finished #writing in little spurts like this isn't how i usually do it (that's why I have like zero snippets for any of them)#but it's really fun to get the ball rolling! :D #thank you for sending this in <33333 #obikin #ask #my writing

hi pls tell me what other piercings (and tats if they’ve got ‘em) the hsh boys have. legend specifically. i am here and i am THIRSTING

YES I am a Big Fan of body modification and I officially love this ask. I put a little too much time into it, honestly. Pierced ears seem to be some Hylian male rite of passage, so assume that anyone not specifically mentioned here habitually wears hoops. Photos aren't mine, drawings are.

I'll start with Legend, since you asked about him specifically, and since he's probably the most heavily-modded in the house. Lobes stretched to a modest 00g (10mm), tends to wear darker amethyst plugs (supposed to be calming). He wears a variety of studs and hoops depending on his mood. At the risk of seeming a little extra, he's also the most likely to have sleeve tattoos that extend down onto his hands and fingers, with one robust hibiscus flower on the back of his right hand.

(source)

I'm going to honor Anon's idea about Wild having a cute heart-shaped conch piercing. A second pair of holes would also suit him well, and you know he pierced that shit himself in some club bathroom on a dare.

Four has a few extra holes in his ears, and the earrings he wears tend to be mismatched on either side. He's just going with whatever feels right in a day.

While Warriors has the traditional single lobe piercing, he opts for tasteful silver discs rather than hoops. And maybe somebody gets him some diamond studs for a special occasion someday that he hardly ever takes out again.

Wind is rebellious enough to want some sort of body mods, but his pain tolerance is relatively low compared to the others. He gets an eyebrow piercing that he takes out 36 hours later, and he's more fond of the scar than he was the piercing.

Twilight isn't one to pierce things, but the urge to give him a huge wolf-themed back piece is very strong. No sense in wasting that canvas. These obvi aren't back pieces but holy shit are they cool.

(source 1) (source 2)

Time does not escape this treatment, either. He had a wild youth, and a few of the boys have spotted a faded old Goron ruby tattoo on his left deltoid. Nobody's brave enough to ask him about it.

(source)

And, as I said, I've been writing and drawing Dark for a long long time, and I've always pictured him having an industrial and an eyebrow piercing. He's also the most heavily-tattooed out of all of them, blackwork only, in his attempt to regain some autonomy after what Ganon did to him.

And now that I've done all that damn tattoo searching, guess what I want next?

(source)

#I would get Majora's mask tattooed right across the front of my neck #how fucking sick would that be #stormy asks #hsh #home sweet home #townhouse au #linked universe townhouse au #tat refs aren't like super specifically #just ones that seemed to fit or others I thought looked cool

do tony stans not get that the whole point of yelena is that she wants to be free? why the hell would she let an old ass talk to her let alone adopt her. she wants to have the life she didn’t have because of the red room. like did no one see how happy she was to get the vest? no way wild tony even get close to adopting her

(also that take is just weird as in general but sadly not the worse i’ve seen for her)

(Please keep in mind my points here might be a little bit far-fetched, but those are my subjective observations and you can see the whole thing differently. Also, if anything sounds clunky or unclear, then I am sorry. Not a native English speaker.)

I honestly think that they don't. They just see a young woman (important point! I will get to it later) that was abused and is traumatised by her past and it's like this light is going off in their brain- "If I headcanon my fave as a good parental figure that takes care of a vulnerable person, that means he is overall a good person and I can ignore the negative aspects of their personality".

Now, let's take a look at both Yelena and Nebula. Like you said, the whole point of Yelena is that she wants to break free of the Red Room, leave her past behind, forget the abuse she experienced at the hands of Dreikov and develop into being her own person, with agency and free will. Nebula on the other hand wants to break free from Thanos, leave her past behind, get revenge on her abusive POS adoptive papa and develop into being her own person, with agency and free will. Now you see how these two characters overlap and that their stories and circumstances are somewhat similar.

So knowing that Nebula was headcanoned (or even fanoned since a lot of people in this fandom adopted(hehe) this headcanon) as T0ny's adopted kid, it was fairly easy to predict that Yelena was going to get the same treatment.

Alas!

There is another young woman in this universe that is a) young and b)traumatised.

There is a difference between the three though. You see, taking care of someone who hates your guts might pose a bit of a challenge. Wanda did not get infantilised and "adopted" into the stork family because she is antagonistic towards the stans' object of admiration. The very first thing we learn about her in AoU is that she hates the dude (bless her heart) and sticks the middle finger to him in the first like, 5 minutes of this finest Whedon Mess-Fest™. She also reminds everyone of T0ny's past mistakes and I guess it hurts??

Both Yelena and Nebula started out either not knowing T0ny even existed or he never affected them personally. Which might also be why they seem adamant on lumping Shuri in with these women.

Shuri has never interacted with T0ny and as far as I remember, she also never even mentioned him. So, again, no bad relation/memories/whatever to spoil the headcanon. However, she is different from the women mentioned above- no tragic or abusive backstory (I think at least), supportive ALIVE family and a teenager, a person actually in need of guidance and oversight, as opposed to a woman approaching her 30s. Along with the other teenagers that have ALIVE family members like Peter and Harley.

So, two categories of "kids"- adult people in their 20s with issues and teens.

Adult people in their 20s with issues, huh?

Steve and Thor are definitely not welcome into the adopted child circle, even though they are young and they have issues. So adoptable *snorts*. And yes, I know, they are technically way older than T0ny, but mentally and physically they are in their mid-twenties when they meet him. So, what gives?

Ahh right! How could I forget! They are men. All the people in the first "category" are women.

Take away what you will from this.

Alas^2!

So far, we have 5 "kids"- Nebula, Yelena, Harley, Peter and Shuri. However, as my staunchly Christian auntie from a catholic-alcoholic denomination always says, the more kids, the merrier! Ho ho ho! Let's throw some bio kids under the tree too!

But wait a minute, Mr. Santa. Bio children? No one wants to play with those!

So, I noticed that T0ny stans always put Morgan on the backburner, rarely if ever mention Vision (technically not bio, but you know what I mean) and totally forget Ultron, although with Ultron I get the sentiment, if my child turned genocidal I would want to forget about them too.

And again, far-fetched, but I think what is happening here is that well, if you decide to have a kid, you kind of have an obligation to take care of them, but when you decide to take a completely unrelated person under your wing and tutelage and guidance and care, it's like, looked upon as honorable, I guess???? I mean, take a look at other characters that assume a parental role over an unrelated child. Din Djarin, Hunter, Kanan, Obi-Wan, hell, even Anakin can squeeze in there. They are darlings of the SW fandom, mostly because of the Raw Daddy Energy™

Also, Found Family fecking slaps and is regarded by many as the tastiest snack out there, but with bio kids you can't really "find" them, you DIY them into existance.

To sum it all up: This whole thing flew off the rails faster than my future plans do and I feel like I made some pretty moot points, but that's how I would explain this strange addiction of t0ny stans.

Also, anon, sorry if that's not the answer you were expecting, but I felt like your ask was a perfect jumping point to make this post, since I've been thinking about the whole "kid adopting" thing for a few days now.

#anti tony stark #anti tony stans #ever watched my strange addiction on tlc?#it's kinda fits here #every time a new marvel movie releases the tony stans go child shopping

Opening up requests

Because everything I’m working on right now is super ahead of schedule and I liked the last request I got so much, I think it’s safe for me to open up some requests. Here are the guidelines in case anyone is interested:

How this works:

First of all, you must be 18+ and have it listed publicly in either your about or your bio to request anything or even interact with this blog. If I catch any minors or ageless blogs trying to interact with me you will be blocked. This isn’t just because it’s illegal. It’s also because it makes me super uncomfortable on a personal level. Please respect my writing and respect my wishes as a writer. By breaking this you are not respecting my boundaries and you are disrespecting both me and my work.

I will post in my Bio my request status if requests are open. I will have a set number of slots for fanfics that I will fill that will also be listed. Depending on how many I get and how quickly I get them, this number will start to go down. If the number of requests is more than the number of slots I have, I will post a list saying which ones I have chosen after the slots are all gone.

You are free to request to be left anonymous, but due to how many ageless blogs that seem to have taken an interest in my content I’ve had to block recently, I do not always feel comfortable turning my anon box on for requests and I will periodically turn it off if I see too many ageless or under 18 blogs trying to interact with me. Don’t worry though, I will not judge you for requesting things and if you want to be left anonymous I will not tell anyone who sent in the request if you have to go off anon.

Feel free to request as many headcanons as you want to while requests are open since these are more of a case by case basis thing and do not take as long to finish. Keep in mind though that if you send me something like a prompt and do not specify characters I will assume you mean all of the ones I can think of and it might take a little bit longer for me to finish because I will go wild with it.

If you are requesting characters that share the same name (Like Josuke for example), please make sure you tell me which part they are from or give me some other indicator (like “Hat Josuke”) so that I can write the right character. This is less of an issue with headcanons since I can just write both, but for a full fic it would really help me. If I don’t know which character you mean and you requested a full fic, I will try to guess which one you meant but there is a chance I won’t pick the right one.

What I will write:

-Fics

-Horror

-Yandere x reader

-Yandere x character

-Poly yanderes

-Poly yanderes with multiple darlings that are canon characters

-Pretty much anything that is not on my “no” list unless you catch me off guard with something somehow. And if you do I’ll let you know and apologize for not catching it.

-Headcanons, although I might not be able to write for everything because I am new to writing up character headcanons. This one is kind of a case by case basis thing.

-Sequels to my other fics. The only exception to this is Bloom because of the reasons listed bellow, but also because I like the ambiguity of the ending too much and kind of wanted people to take their own interpretations away from it.

What I will not write:

-Anything that has Jotaro in some kind of major distress or pain with no happy ending for him. I don’t know why but this very specific thing gets under my skin for reasons I can’t understand and even though I had it in the fic Bloom, It made me really upset to write that and I don’t think I can ever do it again. So for the foreseeable future this is off the table unless I can figure out why this happened and work around it somehow. This doesn’t mean you can’t request yandere Jotaro though. All of that is still fine and I love writing for Jotaro in almost any case, dark topics and all. I just want to avoid anything like the stuff I wrote in Bloom with him happening again.

-I will not write for Alessi, Axl RO, Angelo, Stroheim, George Joestar (part 7), Centerfold, or Valentine. All of these characters are off limits because they make me uncomfortable. I will only write for part 4 Joseph if it’s platonic.

-No feet, period sex, underage characters, diapers or Eproctophilia. You can still request characters that are underage in canon like Giorno, but keep in mind I will always age them up every single time.

-No non Jojo fandoms. This blog is purely for Jojo content.

-No non dark/yandere/horror content. If you want me to write something like this though, you are welcome to ask me for my SFW blog or my non horror/dark content adult blog and I might write it there depending, but this blog is purely for my darker content.

i have to tell you that the second i saw cal and ash on that mountain getaway a couple weeks ago, i thought about how desperately i would love a sequel to your turks & caicos fic set during that trip. (this is not a request, i promise, i just wanted to tell you bc that is one of my fav fics of all time)

Aw anon!! 🥺 Gosh I hadn't even thought about that when I was in my feelings about the mountain getaway pictures, which is wild because I am just remembering now that I started a fic after the honeymoon comment initially happened (like, very soon after, because @elliebirdthings was at that show and told me about it and we were freaking out haha), before we knew that they went to Turks & Caicos, and I had them taking that trip to a cabin in Maine.

Just for kicks, because this message made me smile and I love you for that, here's the beginning of that fic. It's unfinished obviously (not even any kissing!), but there's some nice stuff in there I think. This fic was going to be titled A whole fucking lifetime of this after the American Pleasure Club album which was a title I should have kept, goddammit. Also randomly in here I have them driving to the cabin while listening to My Bloody Valentine, who Ashton later called out as one of his main influences for Superbloom.

1600 words of unfinished Cashton under the cut! 😘

The day after the last meeting about the promo schedule the dressing room conversation turns, as it does, to plans for the break. It’s a month out, but they’ve to a man developed a fetish for planning their free time carefully as soon as the schedule’s set. Planning things makes Ashton feel like a grown-up. He likes renting cars. Sometimes he scrolls through AirBnB for hours just to see what’s out there.

“I’m going straight back, we got Dodgers tickets,” Michael says.

“I remember when you used to say ‘we’ and it meant you and me,” Calum says. He wiggles a little from where he’s snuggled against Michael on the couch like he wants to get away, but of course Michael doesn’t let him. Ashton thinks he probably wasn’t really trying.

“Aw, you’ll always be my first love,” Michael tells him, squeezing Calum to him more tightly. “You wanna make out just for old times sake?”

“I do not,” says Calum, but he lets Michael give him a big kiss on the forehead, his face squinching up happily.

“I just wanna get away for a bit, no work or social media or anything,” says Ashton, ignoring their tomfoolery. “A little cabin by a lake somewhere.”

“Oh yeah?” Luke says. “Where are you and Cal going this time?”

“Maine,” Calum says, at the same time as Ashton says, “Why would you assume we’re going somewhere together?”

A small silence falls over the room.

With dignity, Ashton says, “Calum and I are going to Maine.”

“Just get out in front of it this time,” Michael advises. “Let everyone know it’s another honeymoon. Take control of the narrative.”

“How many times can you go on a honeymoon before you have to acknowledge that you’re married?” Luke asks nobody in particular.

“It’s a bro trip,” Ashton says firmly. “For bros.”

“It’s very bromantic,” Luke says. “It’s okay, I’m not hurt I wasn’t invited. I love going back to LA and jerking off alone.”

“It’s nice that we’ve all got plans,” Calum says. He’s settled peacefully back against Michael, Michael absently petting his hair.

“It’s not a honeymoon,” Ashton insists.

Whatever, Ashton called it what he called it, okay? Might as well control the narrative.

Over drinks at the bar after their last show Calum asks, “Where would you want to go on your honeymoon, anyway? Somewhere new?”

Ashton pokes at the ice in his cocktail with his straw. Aren’t they supposed to not be using straws anymore because of the ocean or whatever? Ashton loves the ocean, it’s very important to him. Also this cocktail sucks. “Can I try your drink?” he asks. “I don’t love mine.” Calum has something with ginger in it, and bubbles. Calum slides his obligingly over, and Ashton passes his own over to be fair.

“I like yours better,” Calum says after a sip. “You wanna trade?”

Sometimes Ashton does believe in soulmates. “Yes, thank you.” He takes a long drink. “It would be nice to spend more time in Italy. Not one of the tourist-y parts though, somewhere quiet. Up north, maybe, one of the smaller towns.” He tries to picture what it would be like: olive groves, blue skies, stone churches. An old villa with lemon trees and a view of the hills. He’s so used to traveling with the band or just with Calum that it’s hard to picture anyone else there with him. They’re all as prone as anyone to get swept up with girls to the exclusion of most everything else, but Ashton can’t really imagine a future without seeing Calum all the time, without talking to him every day. Maybe he and Calum could just get married around the same time and they could all go on a honeymoon together.

“Yeah, that’d be pretty nice,” Calum says, looking wistful. Ashton wants to take a picture of him, capture the way a curl rests against his temple, how the blue neon lights behind the bar hit the glitter he let Ashton smear on his cheekbones before the show. They made a no social media pledge for this trip but Ashton’s bringing his camera anyway. He has to keep in practice, doesn’t he? Anyway, it’s important to capture these memories.

“Maybe we should just go,” Ashton tells him. “Why not? Who knows how long it could take for me to fool someone into living with this forever?” He sucks down the last of his drink, feeling sorry for himself now. What if he falls in love and she moves in and Calum stops coming over in the morning to walk to their favorite coffee shop together, and stops picking Ashton up so they can go hike Runyon, and stops bringing Duke over like he owns the damn place and doesn’t care about the dog hair that Ashton has to hoover off his couch pillows? That would be terrible. Worst of all, what if it was Ashton that suddenly wanted those things to stop?

“I’ll live with you forever,” Calum says, too busy flagging down the bartender to intuit Ashton’s emotional crisis. He gestures to Ashton’s empty drink. “Another one of those, right?” His own is still half full. Maybe he didn’t really like Ashton’s better after all.

“Yeah, thanks man,” Ashton sighs.

Calum bumps his knee against Ashton’s, the barstool squeaking beneath him. “Ash, you’re gonna find somebody if that’s what you want. Anyone would be the luckiest person alive to be with you. Maybe we could do Italy after the tour wraps, we’ll finish in Spain so it won’t be far.”

The thought cheers Ashton a bit; that’s a decent amount of time to get on AirBnB and see what he can find that’s available. It’ll be nice to have something to look forward to, Italian sunshine and limoncello and the quiet.

“Mike and Luke will definitely give us shit though about planning another honeymoon while we’re still on this one,” Calum says.

“Let ‘em,” says Ashton.

It’s not a long flight but it’s a bit of a drive from there to get to the cabin. But Calum said he wanted something remote and quiet, so it’s worth the wait, the drive in the dark. There’s moonlight, anyway, and Calum took the wheel, getting them the rest of the way there in their little silver Prius rental. He puts on My Bloody Valentine and sings along, low and comforting to listen to after so many days straight of playing, of promo. Halfway through the trip Ashton thinks he sees a shooting star, maybe thought he dreamed it until he felt Calum’s soft nudge of knuckles against his arm, heard his quiet, “You see that, bro?”

The way gets bumpy, thick with trees, dark and hard to navigate once they turn off the main road. At the end of it all there’s the cabin, looming in the dark, lights left on for them and the key exactly where it’s supposed to be. It’s past one a.m. but they still give the place a wander, stopping at the largest bedroom facing the lake. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows Ashton sees trees, darkness, the black glitter of water under starlight. Calum asks, “You want this one?”

Ashton looks further and just sees more darkness. “It’s kind of unnerving at night,” he says. “Anyone could be out there.” The other bedroom has smaller windows, but the point stands. “Do you wanna just watch TV or something in here and then decide?”

“If we get axe murdered here I hope our ghosts come back and leave a one star review,” Calum says, but he’s already shrugging his duffel off his shoulders and kicking off his shoes.

The host left them a bottle of pinot grigio so Ashton pours up a few glasses while Calum strips down to his boxers and gets in bed. The boxers have cartoon pugs all over them. “I can’t believe that’s the lingerie you’re wearing for our honeymoon,” Ashton says, handing him a glass. “I also can’t believe those boxers even exist.”

Calum raises it to him in a salute and takes a sip. “These boxers are fantastic, but I guess if you want me to take them off…” he trails off, eyebrow raised, thumb hooked in the waistband pushing them down past his hipbone, then further until Ashton can see the crease of his thigh.

“No, no,” Ashton says hurriedly, “I’m just saying, what’s wrong with a nice pair of footie pajamas? Keeps you warm. Keeps you modest.” Nevertheless he shucks his own clothes except for his own (very grown-up, perfectly normal, in a flattering shade of dark green) boxers and joins Calum in bed. Calum’s already stopped paying attention to him, too busy trying to figure out how to work the remote. He finally gets the screen to flash on, and Ashton stays quiet, sipping his wine while Calum flips channels, finally landing on something in black and white. Cary Grant comes on screen but Ashton still isn’t sure what movie it is; Calum seems interested enough, setting the remote down between them, so he doesn’t complain. The wine goes down easy and Ashton does too after not too long.

He rolls onto his side and sees that Calum’s eyes are already closed. It doesn’t look like he’s asleep yet; it always takes him a bit, leaving him in a dozy stage for about ten minutes during which he might respond crankily to any communication or with adorable mumbling affection. Ashton turns the sound down and says, as quietly as he can, “TV off?” Calum’s eyes don’t open, but he nods a little. “Okay. You want me to go sleep in the other room?”

Calum moves then, a sleepy shift of his body, fumbling a hand up and blindly patting the sheet until he makes contact with Ashton’s hand on the remote and squeezes it, links their fingers together like he can’t quite figure out how to make it work. It feels nice. “’S’okay,” he murmurs. “Stay here.”

Ashton didn’t feel like getting up anyway.
