I'm thinking about it and I wonder if the reason Buddie is so compelling (aside from the parallels) is the fact that they're one of the few couples on the show that has storylines getting together within the show.

Madney is a popular one (what the hell they all are🤷🏾‍♀️), but that developed over the seasons giving fans an (adorable) anchor to rest on.

So did Buddie.

For Bathena, it was a speed run but it made so much sense. They were both older and had established lives before meeting each other and when they decided they were it for each other they were it. (I'm gonna make myself cry 😭)

And HenRen, oh my beautiful henren, their relationship was told backwards and forwards if that makes sense.

They were already established as a complete family who worked together. The storyline who shall not be named was wild and I don't even wanna say it asked commitment to each other after “challenges “ (made of ones volition but i digress) is one that they're dedicated to.

that's so ironic

(I'm low-key heated but I'll talk about that in another post)

But as I was saying about the Buddie of it all, it logistically and thematically it makes sense.

Two friends whose bond grows over time eventually start to see each other in a new light as they go through life and death together.

Sounds great right? A perfect love story?

BAM, they're men!

Ooooh how about bromance and call or a day.

Yes we know they're coparents but *whispers* we may have accidentally given ammo to the lughtuhbuh squad

Ignore me i be joking to much 😔🤣

But truly once you remove gender and focus only on the emotional beats they share, they mirror any and all romantic paintings from this show and various others. (I'm looking at the rookie fans who i now my head in mourning with you through this tough time rn *I've not seen a minute of the show*)

It's not a crime to see it as romantic when evidently it's written as one.

I've seen many fan edits paralleling their emotional hits (hell the cell block gunshot episode and bathena's final arc about the missing girl is a recycled mini plot/scene *very effective*)

But honestly if you look at it as a love story it will become apparent.

And as the show goes on the more they begin to parallel and blur into something of a blatant pairing.

Now less objective more emotional personal, as a panromantic (taking love is love to a next level amirite?) I literally don't see the problem with a lot of same sex ships and this is a really great example.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck it's a fuckin duck to me. (Excuse my French teehee🤗 just had to get the point across)

But forreal though.... Who was messing with my ship?! We gotta talk!

Open up Fox! I gotta talk to you! 🤗🗣️🔊🔊📢

I've had them less than a few months but Imma protect them until the day i die! (Unless of course morals and all that)

But I hope you like this, this was unplanned.

thank you for letting me know can you do the gender neutral one with trent then thank you! <3

to love and to be loved

pairing: trent alexander arnold x gn!reader [they/them]

warning(s): slight angst

summary: the one where they want to be loved (by trent) and he wants to love (the reader)

author's note: hi anon, sorry this took so long (again). currently working through writer's block so hopefully i might be able to write more in the coming days.

now playing: this is what falling in love feels like by jvke

After hours, Y/N and Trent were sitting together in his back garden. And on this particular night the two decided that there was some silence to share and so they peacefully indulged in it together; appreciating the sounds of nature at night for the first time in forever, taking notice of one's breathing to keep it at bay, and unknowingly, enjoying the time the two were able to spend together, no rush or anything to it.

The thing is, there was purpose behind their silence, the pair's lack of talk and simple discussion. There was nothing to speak about, nothing to bring up to conversation. Or, at least, that was what Y/N wanted and Trent couldn't help but accept their wants. Following a break up not too long ago, there wasn't much for Y/N to talk about with Trent, silence itself was enough noise and chaos for Y/N's mind to handle.

Soon after some time, Trent let the silence subside. He turned to his friend, offering a sincere look. "I'm sorry things didn't work out with you and your ex."

Y/N took in a long breath, leaning further back in their place. "Eh, it's all cool. We ended on good terms so I can't really complain," they leaned over and patted Trent's leg, "I gotta move on, right?"

When it came to Y/N and their previous relationships—from the first partner to the last—they really couldn't complain. Never were their partners malicious or mean and simply unkind; honestly, all of their exes had been great partners and Y/N never had real problems with them. All the break-ups, unfortunately, only happened as a result of innocent fallouts like logistics issues or differences in wants in life.

Their facial expression dulled, their lips forming a straight line as they looked towards the sky. "Though I do wish it could've worked itself out, you know?" Their problems never lied with their ex-partners but rather with the relationships themselves. Y/N has been in a few relationships—not too many yet also just enough but it always felt like something was lacking in all of them.

Finally, they set their eyes on Trent. "Do you think we were good together," they asked, referring to themself and their ex, "or was I at least good with any of my exes?" They didn't want to seem insecure or full of doubt, but Y/N wanted some outer perspective on their previous relationships.

"Um," Trent scratched the nape of his neck. He let out a small huff, tilting his head in simple thought. "I think... I think there's always hope for everything. There always was hope for all your relationships, every single one... so I don't think I can say no."

Being there from the beginning, Trent got to witness his best friend in all of their relationships. He watched Y/N's relationships form and unravel, watched them shift from immature to sensible, judged all their partners for their content and personality and... he never found anything flawed to say about anything or anyone.

That was the problem with all of Y/N's relationships; they all always seemed so perfect, too perfect to even criticise. Their ex-partners were perfect, judging by their appearances, intentions and personalities. Y/N's relationships held some flaws here and there, but they weren't enough to ruin something great for a couple. In his eyes, Y/N was too perfect in every aspect and that fact alone let Trent believe that there had been hope for Y/N to settle in whatever relationship they found themself in.

Y/N hummed, running their hand through the grass. "I find that hard to believe when I can never seem to stay in a relationship."

In their eyes, their partners were always perfect but perhaps the relationships weren't. The start and end of their relationships remained the best stages; there was that deep understanding and wanting the best for each other. The middle was the stage of every relationship for Y/N where things would happen quicker than they could realise, leaving the lines and everything else to become far too murky to the point where it was quite hopeless to maintain what barely remained of a relationship.

And seeing their ex-partners over the years moving onto different relationships, some in the early stages of marriage and others starting families– and because everyone viewed all their ex-partners as the perfect partners– even though no one said it, Y/N did feel like all their relationships failing, one after the other, was entirely their fault, that they were the burden every time they chose to be with someone.

"Everyone for me kinda just comes and goes, and I'm used to it at this point... but a bit of lovin' never hurt anyone," Y/N said, a sad smile appearing on their face. 'Cause that's all they could do—smile in hopes of retrieving some happiness in all the internal sadness they were experiencing. "Just seems like something really nice to have."

Witnessing all of their previous relationships fade away really did raise some questions for Y/N: were they really unlovable? If so, what was it about them that was apparently so unadorable and unpleasant to be shared and admired by someone else? What was it that deemed them only worthy of temporary love, that till death do us part kinda love was out of their reach?

It was unfair, and Y/N found it unfair. That they wanted something so small and inexpensive, something everyone around them had rightful access to but them. The thought itself felt like heartbreak.

Oh to be loved must be amazing.

"It doesn't hurt anyone, no. But," Trent offered his hand to Y/N, knowing his friend needed some comfort which he could present through trustful physical touch. In time, Y/N looped their fingers with his own. Trent patted the pair's intertwined hands with his free hand. "You'll get there in time, Y/N. I guess it just takes some time to find someone. You gotta be patient with this one."

Y/N thought for a moment before nodding, voicing a small okay. Trent didn't speak many words yet they were meaningful and kinda heartfelt; there was ease and trust in his words and voice, and that was enough for Y/N to listen to him and maybe indulge in his advice. "If that's the case," they sighed, "you have anyone in mind for me?"

Despite in fact having someone in mind for his best friend, despite the ease he had when thinking about the answer (he didn't have to think), Trent remained hesitant when it came to answering their question. Just let it be me— "Yeah, but I'm not telling you," he said, shrugging and laughing a bit. There was slight confidence despite his shyness towards the approaching conversation.

"You're not telling me?" Y/N's face fell further, encouraging Trent's laughter.

"I don't think you realise this is you basically trying to force fate."

"Okay, okay, I forgot: I'll get there in time," Y/N chuckled as they laid back on the grass, probably one of their first moments of euphoria that night. And Y/N accepted it; it was a start for tomorrow and the later days that would follow. "But c'mon. At least tell me what this person's like. Maybe I can guess. I gotta know something."

And so Trent went to describe this person he had in mind for Y/N— himself. He made sure he was vague yet precise with his descriptions, talking about himself in a way that others would describe him as such too but also speaking loosely so that any other guy could fit the descriptions too. There he was, putting himself forward without exposing himself, without putting pressure on a friend who had just left a relationship.

Trent was someone who was caring and sensitive and accommodating to others, especially others like Y/N. He had always seen them receive and receive from previous partners, but never did Trent think it was enough for their value. He thought they deserved so much more than temporary love, deserved more than feeling unwanted after every relationship ended; they were undervalued even if it was unintentional.

That observation came with the thriving feeling that Trent could, potentially, be the better partner to Y/N over the others. He didn't know it, or he wasn't ready to openly admit it, but Trent wanted to be the one to love Y/N (if they would accept it).

And as he spoke, their face was full of smiles and laughter and real positivity, their enjoyment stretching beyond the conversation itself. Even though he was describing someone for their benefit, even though they were the one who requested Trent to talk in detail about their dream person or soulmate, Y/N wasn't really listening to whatever he was saying. Honestly, they were thinking about Trent.

Y/N had been in a few relationships—not too many yet not too few—and through all of them, Trent always remained. Whenever they entered a relationship, Trent was there to encourage and hype them up; whenever they left a relationship, Trent was there to comfort and assure them that there would always be someone else out there as long as they kept the hope alive.

He was their first call after every breakup, the pair's time together was almost synced. Their parents loved all of Y/N's previous partners but evidently, their parents loved Trent a bit more in a more personal way. Everything he did for them (willingly and unwillingly) were simply acts of love and they wanted all of that for themself: to be adored and admired and loved and beyond by Trent.

Sitting under the night sky with silence now discarded, Trent and Y/N continued to share hushed discussions with timid laughter to ease away the misery of a breakup. And even though no one brought them to conversation, it remained a wonder and a wish if one could love or be loved by the person beside them in future days.

NG (Kirara-Utage)

AK/Kinktober 2023, Day 6: “Harness”

"Kirara, I'm gonna be honest? This is insane, like, in a good way. This rules coming from you. You go, girl, get it." Utage pats her on the shoulder.

"You're okay with all of that stuff? Like, all of it is stuff we can do? Because I know some of it is kind of extreme especially towards the back end and if it's going to be hard to manage in a logistical or whatever sense we can…"

"Kirara, girl, deep breath." DEEP breath. Okay, Kirara, try that again.

"So this is good?"

Utage lazily scans Kirara's semi-stream-of-consciousness three-bullet-point itinerary again. "The bed, I can dial up Closure and she'll let us play for free for, basically? Like, as long as you want."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Kirara's not even gonna question how Utage gets Closure to do stuff for free in the first place. Riajuu powers.

"'Rope under clothes', yeah, we can do that. You wanna go rough or smooth? I've got some spare guest rope and some kinda, like, hempy stuff too?"

"Can—can I see?"

"Right now? Sure~." Huh? She just keeps that stuff in her closet? Wait, how exactly does Utage's closet even work, Kirara's seeing a lot of depth in there that doesn't look like it should fit and there's some suspicious shapes way in the back and "Catch."

"GYAGH! Sorry, you just surprised me, that was really fast, thank you." Kirara lets Utage sling some coils of plastic rope over one arm and… wow, this is like real deal straw-type stuff on the other.

"I gotcha, girl. Just lemme know what you think. Anyway, the suitcase thing too, totally. I've even got this kind of special one, I can show you after."

"That's…" Kirara is clenching her fists and screwing her eyes shut as hard as possible to resist the temptation to grab her phone back and type on that because as long as she's pushing herself out of her comfort zone tonight she may as well really hammer out her communication too. "That's amazing, Utage, I actually love you—"

"Love you too, babe. Sorry, no takesie-backsies in my room." …Kirara didn't even get the time to regret blurting that confession out. She knew actually hooking up with Utage would be going in deep, but this is deep. Honestly, forget a fear of all the steps, she was way less prepared for there to be basically no steps at all. "Sooo, which rope are you thinking?"

"Uh, probably the smooth one to start? I don't really know, I was kind of trying to tie myself on my own with, um… with power cords." Does Utage hate her yet? Oh my god, she's still smirking.

Utage takes the rougher coils and casually slings them backwards blind into the closet, which as far as Kirara can hear was a complete success. "You got, like, power cords long enough for shibari?"

"Not really, I guess I was just curious if I could tie myself to stuff and…"

Somehow the twinkle in Utage's eyes makes Kirara feel as if she's divulged a little too much information. "Want me to treat you?"

"Huh?" Wait, the rope's. Wait. Kirara looks down. It's. Huh? "How did you…"

"I know that's over your clothes, but you gotta test this kinda stuff first, right? Tell me if that's too tight, like, especially the armpits and stuff."

"It…'s not." At least she doesn't think so, it feels perfect. Kirara twists around a little as she stares over her sudden transformation—alternating sparingly in diamonds from her shoulders down her torso, then a gratifyingly tight figure-eight that runs through each hip groove, loops behind and back down, and crosses straight beneath oh my god, she was this close to touching me. Every piece of clothing she's wearing is bound so tightly against her skin that it's kind of giving her a taste for a sensation she didn't even know she had, meanwhile. She's… wow, Kirara is kind of majorly distracted drinking in the fact she actually has a harness on. The… the way it feels on her is so cool, oh my god, she's actually in this. Her desire to squirm is tied by her desire to just admire Utage's handiwork.

Speaking of. "I didn't even see how you…"

"Aha~! Literally, don't even worry. You like it?"

Kirara fiercely nods. She would not believe.

"Wanna get tied to something?"

Kirara keeps fiercely nodding.

Kirara is not prepared for Utage to lift up her shirt in response.

Thoughts on wtf is going on with Zeb;

Didn’t he retire?

yeah, like. Five years ago. To spend his days with Kallus who is a fucking workaholic. Have you met ‘retired’ workaholics? They don’t know how to let the world turn without them. Plus we don’t know how involved the rest of the Spectres are with the New Republic. As much as I wanted those motherfuckers to go and RELAX, it does make sense that they’d be sucked back into ‘protecting the galaxy’ either from family influence or general restlessness. The dredges of the Empire are still out there, after all. The war ended, but people still need protection.

it makes a lot of sense that they’d be keeping to the Outer Rim rather than taking more prestigious positions in the Core. I’d like to think they’re hanging around Lothal while Ezra is gone, looking after it for him.

Where is your husband, sir?

as much as I hate to say it, it makes sense Kallus isn’t there. Zeb and Kallus have very different skillsets. If they’re lending their time to the Republic as either full on employees or contractors, they’d be regulated to very different sectors. This dovetails into why the fuck is Zeb in a pilot’s suit? It’s likely bc that’s his new position. His strength is as a mechanic and gunner, his place is in a hanger working on ships. And this is, like, an official government now and stuff. You gotta wear the uniform. Along with that, you can’t fly a civilian ship for government duties. They aren’t gonna be OKing the Glimmer for missions, which means the boys can’t ‘work from home’, which means they aren’t likely to be working together on the regular. Kallus’ place is in data analysis and logistics. Poor fuck is likely chained to a desk somewhere (ideally on Lothal) while Zeb goes where ever ppl need an extra hand. Which sucks. It’s clear Kallus chose to be part of the naval division of the ISB bc he LIKES being on the front lines. Now, well. It’s not just peace time, there’s also (hopefully) limits on what they’re willing to give to this New Republic. They’ll both help, but they won’t sell their souls. No career positions, no politics, just good honest work to keep this sector of the universe running smoothly. Unfortunately, not getting too involved probably means desk job for info boy.

Also, Kallus could have been a huge asset to the Amnesty Program, but you know what? It probably would have been triggering as fuck to police other ‘ex-imps’, and also when it was in the planning stages, he was likely tRYING to be legit retired.

honestly, I’m hoping to see both him and Zeb as fairly critical of the New Republic, knowing they can do the most good (and with the least friction) within the system but skeptically waiting for it to fuck everyone over, while always keeping an eye out for the remnants of the Empire. Its safer for them to play with the New Republic, too. It gets them easy(er) access to NR resources and keeps them in the know about coming dangers. Its a marriage of convenience, built on an understanding that they should never fully place their trust in anyone but themselves, bc the Core doesn’t give a shit and is always busy huffing its own farts

Duckverse June Week 2: Happy Birthday Day Daisy, Della, and Donald

Okay, now I think I kinda got the hang of this. Anyway, I give you…

Surprise and…Surprise Again!

“So, Mom, Uncle Donald, why exactly did you want us to have a super-exclusive family meeting on the houseboat with just the five of us?” Huey asked.

“I mean, I’m all for exclusivity, but what gives?” Louie questioned.

“I’m so glad you asked, boys,” Donald answered. “Well, Daisy’s birthday is in a few days, and we were thinking of putting together a surprise party for her.”

“There’s no way in he-I mean, heck we can pull it off on our own,” Della added. “So we figured we’d ask you three.”

“We’d love to!” Huey replied cheerfully.

“Between the five of us, I’m sure we could put together something great for Aunt Daisy,” Dewey added.

“Yeah, let’s get the ball rolling on it!” Louie finished.

“Okay, good,” Donald continued. “Thanks, boys. So, who should do what?”

“I’ll try and figure out what the party should be like,” Huey suggested. “I can write out a list of things Aunt Daisy likes, and then go from there.”

“I call music!” Dewey called out. “I can bring back DJ Daft Duck for this one!”

Huey and Louie grimaced, remembering the last time Dewey pulled out his DJ Daft Duck persona at a relative’s birthday party.

“Okay, fine,” Dewey groaned. “I can just as well put something together music-wise just as myself.”

“I’ll do decorations,” Louie added. “Because the party has to look worthy of a fashion designer’s tastes.”

“I’ll work on inviting people!” Della exclaimed. “My sister-in-law is going to have the best da-uh, dang birthday party ever!”

“Honestly, I don’t want it blown too out of proportion, though,” Donald commented. “Maybe just try for semi-immediate family?”

“Semi-immediate family. Got it,” Della reported back.

“Good. And I’ll work on the food and keep track of the gifts,” Donald finished.

“Uncle Donald, don’t you think Aunt Daisy would notice you cooking a lot in your kitchen?” Louie questioned.

“Phooey. Right. I’ll ask Mrs. B if I can use the kitchen here,” Donald reasoned.

“Alright, I think that’s everything,” said Huey, tapping his pen against his notebook. “Oh, this is going to be awesome! Aunt Daisy will love this!”

“Mom, what’s so important that we have to meet in your office to discuss it?” questioned May.

“Well, as you know,” Daisy began, addressing the three girls in front of her, “your dad and Aunt Della’s birthday is next week. So I figured it might be nice to do a surprise party for them.”

“Yes! Absolutely!” Webby burst out. “This is going to be so fun.”

“But how exactly will we pull it off in just a few days?” June wondered.

“We’ll definitely have to put our heads together on this,” reasoned Daisy. “Webby, do you have your notebook?”

“Of course!” Webby replied, rummaging around in her backpack and pulling the sparkly notebook out. “Gotta be ready for anything.” She turned to a blank page.

“Fantastic,” Daisy replied. “So, what can the three of you work on?”

“Ooh, I think I have a general idea of what the party should be like!“ volunteered Webby. “Considering I’ve been researching their family my whole life, I can probably come up with something good. That, and the fact that I’ve gotten to know them fairly well over the past few years.”

“Impressive,” Daisy glowed. “May, June, what about you?”

“I can figure out the decorations,” replied June. “I’m pretty good at making stuff on my own thanks to Junior Woodchucks, and for whatever I can’t do on my own, I can probably find stuff in colors that Dad and Aunt Della would both like.”

“I’ll figure out some of the logistics, like who to invite and where we should have the party,” May added.

“I can figure out what foods they would both want, and go from there,” Daisy finished.

“If you’re thinking some kind of seafood for Uncle Donald, you should probably keep it away from Aunt Della’s array of food,” noted Webby.

“Ooh! Right,” Daisy exclaimed. “May or may not have to end up as sort of a Venn diagram of food, when all is said and done.”

“We can figure it out, though,” May added.

“Oh, I can’t wait for this!” June squealed. “They’re going to love it.”

Huey, Dewey, and Louie were in the dining room, making preparations for Daisy’s surprise party, when Webby, May, and June bustled in.

“Uh, what are you three doing here?” Louie asked.

“What are you doing here?” May shot back.

“I asked you first.”

“Fine,” May grumbled. “We’re putting together a surprise party for Dad and Aunt Della.”

Huey’s face went blank. “Oh,” he said quietly. “Oh, phooey.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Webby asked.

“It’s just that, uh, we were actually working on a surprise party of our own,” Huey replied. “For Aunt Daisy.”

“Yeah, we kinda figured,” June put in.

“What?” Dewey gasped. “But how-“

“Aunt Della already invited us to your party for Mom,” June explained.

“Oh, no,” fretted Huey. “This is not good. If they know we’re having a party, and we know they’re having a party, that means…that means-“

“We could put the two together!” Webby finished.

“Right! Yeah, of course,” resigned Huey.

“Huey,” Webby continued, facing the red triplet directly, her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. We can totally merge these two parties together. We’d just have to keep all three of them in the dark to an extent.”

“And we can pull that off,” May agreed. “Right?”

Louie shot a look at Dewey.

“If Dewey can, we all can,” he added.

“Oh, come on,” Dewey argued. “If it’s for the three of them, of course I’ll try and keep mum. With the six of us together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.”

“Exactly,” agreed June, extending her hand out. “We’ve got this.”

The other five triplets piled their hands on top of hers. “Then let’s do this thing!” Louie exclaimed.

It was finally the day of the party. Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, May, and June had figured out a way to combine elements from each of their parties into one, bigger party for Daisy, Della, and Donald, all the while working with their designated guardians separately so none of the three would know something was up.

Each set of triplets would set up on their own, and then they would convene. Eventually, everyone began showing up. Uncle Scrooge, Beakley, Gladstone, Fethry, even a couple of Daisy’s relatives.

“Okay, I just texted Mom,” Huey whispered.

“And…there. I’ve texted Aunt Daisy, too,” Webby replied. “The three of them are due soon.”

Louie turned off the lights in the mansion. It got very quiet. Eventually, the front door opened, and they all heard the birthday people approaching.

“Okay, we’re here,” confirmed Della.

Daisy was confused. “What’s going on, anyway? Why are all the lights out?”

“Well, you see-“ Donald began.

“SURPRISE!”

All at once, the lights came on. Daisy, Della, and Donald were absolutely floored. The entire room was covered in pink and various shades of blue. All of their loved ones were there. There was a long table laid out with food, including a massive cake in the center. The left half was covered with pink frosting, while the right half was decorated with swirls of light and dark blue frosting.

“What in Selene’s name is this?!” Della exclaimed.

“Well, we actually planned a party for you and Uncle Donald, too,” Webby admitted.

“But then we realized our plans conflicted somewhat,” Huey added.

“So we decided to work together and plan a party for all three of you!” Dewey finished, throwing a bit of jazz hands in.

“What do you think?” May asked.

“I-I don’t even know where to start,” Daisy admitted.

“I’m amazed, kids,” Donald said to his niblings and daughters. “You did all this for us?”

“Of course,” June replied. “All three of you deserve this.”

“Shoot, I think this might be the greatest thing ever,” Della concluded.

Donald and Daisy kissed, and then Della squeezed them both into a hug.

“Happy birthday, you two,” Daisy sputtered out.

“Happy birthday, Daisy,” the twins said in unison.

The three adults went over to the kids and hugged them, too.

“Thank you,” said Donald. “Seriously, this might just be the best birthday ever.”

“You’re welcome, Uncle Donald,” replied Louie.

“Now what are we waiting for?” Dewey questioned. “Let’s get our party on!”

And so the celebration commenced. It made Donald and Della realize just how thankful they were that they were together again, so they didn’t have to celebrate their birthdays apart anymore. And it made Daisy realize just how glad she was to be a part of this big, crazy, loving family.

And the way the celebration wound up happening, the three of them wouldn’t trade it for the world.

do u (or any of ur wonderful writing community) have any advice for someone that has a fic idea that seems likely to be multi chapter but they've never written anything before?

Hi anon!! I'm so honored to have been sent this, and I'm excited to hear what my fellow writers have to say about it! Anyone have thoughts? Tagging a few of you: @mvnvgedmischief @abihastastybeans @athenasparrow @charmsandtealeaves @annabtg @practicecourts

Here's my advice as someone who literally stumbled into their first multi-chap fic:

figure out the ultimate story you're trying to tell. what are the main themes? what is the ultimate point of the story? it's so easy to lose momentum, especially for your first multi-chap. I think it helps a lot to know the "why" of your story so that when you get to the tough chapters, you have a strong reason to push through

create an outline. i know outlines aren't for everyone, but GOD it has been helpful for me. idk where you're at in your idea formulation, but i know in the past my ideas have been like...snatches of scenes, a general concept of the overall story - but it's lacked the specific content of the full story, and that's really tripped me up when it came to writing. with dead to me, i wrote a rough outline for every single chapter, so i knew how i was going to get from a to d to n to z instead of just being like "well, i know what a is. i know what d is. i know what n is. that's enough!" nahhh man you gotta figure out at least roughly what b and c and e anddddd etc. are gonna be too. the outline has changed and lengthened as i went, but honestly, it's still stayed pretty true to the skeleton i created at the start.

my beta reader gave me the suggestion to write out important scenes in the story from throughout it, to help me get a sense of what i needed to happen in between those scenes to get to those points. like for me, the absolute hardest part of a multi-chap so far has been making sure that the characterization stays consistent and makes sense as we go along. esp cause there is so much character development happening, it has to make sense, and that happens a lot in those in-between chapters. so it's good to have a sense of those BIG moments to help yourself stay on track for how you're getting your characters (thematically, character-wise, logistically) to those moments. [i hope that made sense]

find someone to read it over for you/be your beta! it's SOOOO helpful having someone to bounce ideas off of, and if you're completely new to writing, i'm guessing you might benefit from having just a general editor to point out grammatical things or ways the writing could be clearer.

be nice to yourself, take it slow if you need to. everyone handles posting differently - some people like to write the whole fic first, some people (like me) prefer to go chapter by chapter because having people comment and be reading along with it gives you momentum to finish. but i would say, if you are going to go with that second option, consider writing a good bit of the story before posting the first chapter. like give yourself some time to write until you get stuck - that will help you find some of the kinks in the story, figure out how to navigate there being holes in the narrative, maybe tighten up your outline, etc. and also gives you time to get the chapters edited by someone.

okay that's a LOT of practical advice, i hope you find it helpful <3 otherwise i'd just say, it's REALLY fucking exciting to be writing your first multi-chap, AND to be starting to write at all!!! have fun with it, get lost in the excitement, let yourself really enjoy your characters and the world YOU'RE developing. it's so fucking cool to be a writer!!! and all of the stuff i mentioned is part of being a writer, so like...soak it up?? and know that you DON'T have to do it perfectly to be a writer, or to enjoy the process. it's your first time writing and first time doing a multi-chap - literally all of this is an opportunity to learn and also have fun, so I hope you do that and don't get too caught up in the weight of feeling like you have to finish it in x amount of time or that it has to be perfect.

you're so cool for doing this!! and i hope that in some way you share your work with me/this community, cause I would love to see it and be cheering you on <3 i'm cheering you on regardless though!!!!!

#being a writer is the Coolest Thing Ever #good for you for starting!!!!#<3333 #lovely anons #charlie mail #writing

Yall already know i had to come be a hater to my favorite white boy lol

Jack really lacks marketing skills. This is the most J Cole/Kendrick Lamar, "I don't gotta show face to my fans for them to show out", kind of energy that I don't think he's earned to put out. Like he does little to no promotion for his music, his movie, his drink, but like is expecting a surge of support...but he's definitely not built the reputation for it. CHTKMY kinda flopped as his sophomore album, and that had tons more marketing and anticipation. He's dropping a random album in the middle of whenever, and I don't really think people are expecting greatness from it. Like his feature on Mockingbird Valley wasn't stellar, so like I'm not really super excited for this album.

I've always been bothered by Jack being reclusive as an artist, knowing that yes he deserves privacy, 1000000%, but him giving -10 interaction with his fandom in what is still the growing stages of his career gives off GOAT energy, which logistically, this man cannot be a certifiable GOAT in hip hop. Like he can maintain a personal and professional boundary while still interacting with fans that doesnt compromise his privacy and personal life. Honestly he can drop off once he's solidified himself on the throne like Cole and Kendrick, I'm not saying he's gotta be a instawarrior like Drake, and he can literally disappear without a trace, but you gotta earn that kind of unwavering support with unwavering quality. There is no chance of disappointment when it comes to Kendrick or Cole or Drake or Wayne or Jay or any of the rappers who've earned their spot/title. I almost think it's cocky and arrogant of Jack to see himself as equals to them in that aspect: that drop off and pop up energy, but popping up with mediocre music 🤷🏽‍♀️. Like I'm almost disappointed for younger Jack because he really wanted it and older Jack is kinda dropping the ball. Perhaps his desires changed and he's not as hungry?

I think it stems from that one Drake interview where Drake says he feels like he can't do the "drop off, pop up" thing with his fanbase like Cole and Kendrick, and I wonder if Jack is trying to get ahead of that? Idk, I just feel like he's gotta do better with fan interaction and building his brand better, especially to at least show his appreciation to his fans online.

I'm sad to say that I'm more excited for Jack Harlow fanfics to drop than this man's actual music 😅 like I'm more into the idea of this man lol, he's my favorite face claim at this point 😂

I am super excited for WMCJ, from the trailer it looks great. I'm glad he's into acting, I'm sorry to say it, it seems he's a better actor than rapper 😬

It's crazy because I really liked his older stuff. Like up until TWTAS, which I wasn't the biggest fan of, but I thought was decent for his freshman album. I think Jack's music lacks story, or something to connect to. Like even if he held onto the "white man in rap" narrative, it would give more of a story. His music just seems themeless, and I think that's why I'm growing tired of it. Mockingbird Valley really fell through for me, feeling like it's the same as all his other songs. There really isn't much development in his pen and idk if that's because he's been co-signed by the greats on CHTKMY, or what, but I expect more.

14, 19 and 58 from the nsfw asks list

Hi! Thanks for being our first response to this call out! Just a reminder, these questions and responses are STRICTLY 18+, do not ask or comment or even look if you are a minor. Anyway, I just got Eddie's reply so I'll pass it over to him:

Hi, officialsimp4eddie - ah, I don’t know how this chick convinced me to tell you all this stuff, but who am I to deny the pervy yearnings of the fans, huh? Also, sex is fucking great and beautiful and we should all get a fuck tonne more of it. Orgasms all round!

Enjoy, you sexy little sickos. - Eddie

14: Do you prefer giving or receiving oral sex?

Ok, I’m gonna be real here: There’s something super awkward about getting a BJ. Like…It feels good, no denying, but also there’s a person’s mouth on your junk. They have teeth. They may choke a little. You don’t know what to do with your hands. You’re like, mentally screaming at yourself, “don’t fart, don’t fart, don’t you fucking fart”. Also, the last time you were looking down on your cock, you were pissing out of it, which is … you know. Ew. (No offense if that’s your bag, it’s just not mine.) So, anyway, where was I? Oh, right. It’s just, like, not altogether relaxing? Maybe that’s just me? I’d prefer a handy and some tongue, to be honest. Feeling her tits pressed against me, her lips all soft and slick from lip balm - gloss - whatever, and her hand wrapped tight around me. Yeah.

Eating pussy, on the other hand? I gotta tell you, there is no finer meal.

Every girl tastes different, looks different, moves different when you go down on her, right? You need to be alert to what she’s not saying. Some girls don’t like it - sometimes they feel vulnerable and weird about it because some idiot told them it smells, or it’s dirty or some shit. So, I don’t take it for granted that she wants my face all up in there, you know? But if she is into it, then I too am into it. So very, very into it.

I don’t want to get too goddamned poetical here, but they do look like a flower. They’re like, what’s the fucking plant… with the… the thing… you know. Orchids! Orchids. A pussy is like an orchid, made out of velvet, and that’s how you have to treat it when you get down there, like don’t dive in, it's not a chow bowl. And don’t for the love of fuck, go straight for her clit, she will not thank you for that. You have to easy your way in there, you know? Big, flat tongue licks, like a cat. Go in soft, till she’s bucking against your face. Then you go for her clit, man. Kiss that little nubbin. Make out with it. Fuck their bodies are so… holy shit.

The real joy of it, though, the thing that really gets my dick hard, is that feeling when she’s letting you see her come undone, letting you see this part of her, kiss her in this fucking… sacred place, man. To like, enter her with your tongue.

Forget about it. I could do it all day.

19: Would you prefer sex in the bath or sex in the shower?

I don’t know if you’ve seen my trailer, but like, there is no room for a fucking bath. Are you kidding? There’s barely enough room for the goddamned shower. We have a half-tub in there, for if you have kids, I guess. But I haven’t had a bath since I was like, 5.

Also, just the logistics of that confounds me, you know? Like, are you getting bathwater all up in her? Are you sloshing it all over the floor? Who's cleaning that up afterwards? I don’t like the sound of it to be honest.

I guess… OK, you can’t tell Steve this, but one time, in like, Junior year, his family went on holiday to fucking France or some shit. The guy would not shut up about it. “Oh no, I gotta got the France with my family… poor me,” honestly. Unbelievable.

So, anyway, the Harringtons leave town, and a bunch of us break into their backyard and have a pool party. No shit. It was wild. I can’t remember who all was there, but one of the neighbors sticks their head over the fence and is like: “you kids keep it down over there. OK?” and Rick’s like, “Yes sir!”. No clue we weren’t Harrington's basketball buddies or something.

You gotta swear never to tell, Steve. Jeeze, maybe I should tell him? What do you think?

Anyway, this cousin of Rick’s was there from out of state. Amy, her name was. She was so cute, so hot. Really a great girl. And we hit it off. So when everyone had either passed out or fucked off, we ended up - you know - doing it in the pool, which is the closest I have ever been to fucking in the bath.

I would never normally kiss and tell, but she was so psyched she got railed in a swimming pool she told anyone who would listen. Apparently, it was some kind of bucket list thing?

Anyway, I won’t say much more except buoyancy is nothing to be sniffed at, if you know what I mean. Also, your jizz totally looks like a fucked up jellyfish in chlorinated water. Sorry, was that gross? That was gross.

Jesus, please don’t tell Harrington. He’ll beat my ass. But it was before I knew him.

58: Booty or Boobs?

Oh man, this is a good question, I have never honestly thought about this… like, what do I look at first?

Honestly, this is going to make me sound like I’m trying to be smooth, but I will totally notice a girl’s smile first. I know, I know, but it’s the truth, man. Look around, half the world has boobs, everyone has an ass. How many people really light up when they smile? It's a special gift.

But I guess, if you’re talking about when I’m being - intimate - which I know you are, you little degenerate, I’m more about the boobs.

Nipples man, I love ‘em. I love the feel of a nipple in my mouth, love feeling her squirm under me when I suck 'em, love nibbling on ‘em rolling them around between my teeth till she’s almost squealing. I love to suck on them so hard, it’s almost a hickey. Jesus.

All tits are beautiful. I love tiny little puffy titties; I love a good handful; I adore some huge boobs, although I understand they’re not much fun for the girl carrying them around all day. Also, men are fucking animals and think big boobs mean a girl is easy. Honestly, it’s a wonder women will have anything to fucking do with us some times.

But I do enjoy a big girl, I love those curves, you know? Am I… is it OK to say that? I like big boobs and I cannot lie.

OK, that’s enough over sharing from me. Holy shit. I need to nut. Thanks for nothing.

____

WOW, OK, thanks for that, Eddie, that was... way more than I expected.

Check out the list of questions if you want to ask Eddie anything. And don't forget to check out my AO3 and my masterlists.

Also, I hate to ask, but would you consider reblogging? It really does help!

(CAVEAT: Y'all know this isn't really Eddie, right? Because he is a fictional character. This is a writing exercise. I have no connection or relationship to the Duffers or Stranger things. I'm just fooling around)

Garbage Farm (#48)

2024-03-25, session #48 of Garbage Farm! Spanning Winter 3 through Winter 9 of Year 4!

cast:

me (@mothmute)

E.B. (@blueherin)

Kimi (@2kimi2furious)

Highlights include, but are not limited to the following:

pre-game:

it's been a while, but Garbage is back, woohoo!

—oh. logistical difficulties. welp, it was bound to happen.

“so, uh, what'd you have for dinner?”

I did my Garbage Homework and I came prepared with a to-do list and everything! But nobody knows what we're doing.

(the song from titanic plays softly in the distance)

Possum is gonna be so so glad to see us, he might do a li'l hop and everything, maybe get all flat

Winter 3:

LET GARBAGE BE JOINED

oh god I've got clown shoes on and they jingle now, let's see how long before they notice

(spoilers: they don't)

I visit Marnie. Lewis assures me he is there strictly for business reasons.

Cringefail, one (1) more duck.

felled tree remains mysteriously appear in the graveyard??

Kimi finds a mystery door......

Clint caught me digging in the trash, who cares

Special order for Taro Root!

Alex is wearing his special shorts, but Kimi's are more special (hint: they are purple)

Winter 4:

Mr. Qi flies by on an airplane. Mystery boxes can now be found.

The Wizard Catalog is amazing.

I try to renovate my house, but all my stuff is in the way!

Made another shed big, though.

E.B. finds a mystery box. “what's inside?” “mystery, duh”

Honestly, a lot of the day is spent mindlessly wandering.

Big chests!! I'll miss the stone ones' aesthetics, but big chests!!

We all went to bed early

Winter 5:

Bookseller is in town???

Cool pig had an Elliott Portrait, that's not weird at all

(apparently had an Alex portrait, too)

I go ahead and max out the ducks

then I go consume all the books at once

Kimi finds powdermelon seeds??

Winter 6:

After moving all my furniture, I get a bunch of renovations to my house. To be honest, I have no idea what to do with all this space, my place was already a little sparse.

Kimi dies in the volcano because she didn't bring food!

(Somewhere in here, I suggest EB take the lead on the Taro Root quest)

Wind in the night...

Winter 7:

The big tree! Noooo! —eh, it was only there a few days.

A little hardwood turns it into a cute little house, though

Turns out, I'm the only one of us cool enough to explore the mystery cave 😎

It's wine night, and I drastically underestimate just how many kegs I have

Winter 8:

There's always so much to do! —and yet I can recall almost none of it!

Ice fest??

Kimi is running late to ice fest, but no worries. ... okay, maybe some worries, I am anxious-typed.

Hey, whole bunch of new dialog!

Evelyn is worried it might be the last time she make a snowman with Alex. That's so sad!! (It's okay, nobody dies here)

Harvey froze his face

Clint is completely useless at making snowmen

KIMI CAUGHT DOPING IN THE CONTEST AND STEALS 1ST PLACE

(it's okay)

I call out how nobody noticed my literal clownshoes and then realized, “shit, I sound like Clint,” 100% clown behavior

Winter 9?:

non-canon day!!

possum gives us a snail

MAYO CHUG hang on let's try and get a picture

Kimi tries and fails to count down

I suggest using a bomb as a timer; when the bomb goes off, drink!

we are so bad at this

over 12 in-game hours and no mayo chug picture, truly phenomenal

TO-DO:

crystalariums for coffee project and so many stairs

💀💀💀

I've been putting off kegs, preserves jars, and some tree-tap improvements for so many sessions, now

friendship!!

walnut room......

long-term projects, shopping lists

OPERATION MAGIC HAT (strictly confidential)

Keep exploring 1.6 content!!

Gotta defeat the ocean. The whole ocean.

... do we want extra garbage cottages?

oh right, darts

A short session, but it's good to be back, and I'm looking forward to exploring more 1.6 content with my friends

OKI ITS HEADCANON TIME

so . emalfs canon desing has piercings, right? he has like .. his ears, horns and tail pierced? and his tongue..? *went to check if I was right* yEA, he does, also his wings

based on that, i want to talk abt the flame trio and piercings

[kinda long post]

first .. i want to question why emalf has piercings in his horns?? ik other demons have it to but.. ahm.. arent horns bones? or at least something like that. I've seen people cut sheeps horns when they grow too much in dangerous places so probably doesn't hurt as much as.. piercing a bone. but still, the logistics behind it are kinda funny? like, do demons piercer shops have drills to drill into the horns? funa probably didn't think too much abt it and honestly? fair. it looks cool, thats a fact. but the thought of going to a place where they do piercings and instead of a needle they bring out a drill. its kinda funny.

also.. does piercings wings affect your flying capability? probably not much, i mean, you can still talk with a tongue piercing so why yk. but still, i like to think abt the healing process, like how you probably would be advised not to fly for some time, because if you fly the piercing will move and it'll be more difficult for it to heal, stuff like that

those are just some thoughts.. but now the most important part!

The Headcanons

Emalf already has a lot of piercings, most in places where.. people don't really have (eg. wings, horns, tail), and the places that people can pierce I'd say he's actually lacking. I mean, ears and tongue are not enough piercings for him.

Saying that, I think Emalf has an eyebrow piercing, some sort of nose piercing and a bridge piercing.

The eyebrow one seems very clear to me, it would fit his aesthetic perfectly, I don't know why he doesn't have one already. Hell, maybe both his eyebrows are pierced, I don't doubt it.

To Emalf, piercings are like hair dye. Oof, mental breakdown? Gotta do another piercing, I'll book an appointment for this morning. (It's currently four in the morning) That's why he has so many.

He pierced his own ear alone when he was like, 13, with a earing he wanted to wear. It ended up crooked and he asked Adauchi to help him with the other side. It still ended up crooked. He still wears the same earring since then.

After that he started going to a professional.

He needed permission from an adult because he was underage and the shop wouldn't pierce him because of it. Adauchi helped, forging Ivlis signature on the document, something he learned very early in life.

The first ones where ear piercings, including a industrial. After that, he pierced his septum, his eyebrows, his bridge, the tongue was the last one on his face. After that, he started piercing his demonic characteristics.

You may wonder.. Why does Emalf have a bridge piercing? He wears shades all the time. To that I say.. He spent way too much time and effort to find the perfect match of jewlery and glasses that wouldn't clash. Also probably more money than anyone should.

He and Poemi bought a pair of earrings and they each wear one, in the same ear. It was Poemis idea of course, but Emalf got more exited than her, he makes an effort to never let his hair hide it.

He does wear it on the side that Adauchi helped him with (Haha angst)

Poemi grew up watching Emalf get a million piercings, always thinking it was sooooo cool. You get to have jewelry on your whole body?? You get to have sparkle thingies on your face?? She always wanted one, or many. She wanted many.

Yes Poemi is very interested in shiny objects, much like a dragon. She's generally very dragon-like.

She'd never tell Emalf she liked his piercings tho. When Emalf promted her with the question, 7 year old Poemi said that so much gold on his face was to make up to the fact that he was ugly without it. The brutality of it was supposed to distract Emalf, so she would not have to tell him that she liked it.

It did work. Emalf was distracted enough.

Why didn't Poemi wanted to admit liking Emalfs piercings? Not give him the satisfaction. She's petty like that, always has been.

However. She did compliment Adauchis piercings, she said it made him look cool. Which was true. It did make him look cool. She'd never let Emalf discover that.

It was like Adauchi and Poemi little secret.. One of many. She loved sharing her secrets with him. Including how much she wanted to have her own piercings.

Before leaving, Adauchi helped Poemi pierce her ears also. Apparently, he's been training because this time it didn't end up crooked. She was so exited he had to stop multiple times during the process because she would move.

She spent the whole week bragging about her brother piercing her ears, to literally everyone she could.

She was unbelievably happy when she showed her father the earrings, because he told her they looked pretty. Then she bragged about her father liking her earrings for one week more.

Even when having her own earings, Poemi would continue to make fun of Emalf for his.

That's why, when older Poemi mentioned she wanted to do more, Emalf was as confused as ever.

She had to finally admit that she thought it was cool. But in her own way, which is.. A bit condescending.

"Did you really believed what a 7 year old told you? Of course they're cool, dumbass."

Emalf was more than happy to take her to get more piercings, but he didn't let her do a lot of the ones she wanted. They were there without her father knowing, after all. Emalf didn't really want to make the Devil mad by taking his teen daughter to pierce her body.

She was very dramatic about it but settled for more ear piercings.

What Emalf didn't expect was Poemi finding someone to do her piercings without permission from a adult. When she came back one night with her wings, tail and bellybutton pierced he panicked.

Her father didn't care enough, really. At that time he had stopped paying attention to her due to his job as a Devil. Which was only a excuse for Poemi to do more piercings.. and tattoos.

Poemi has more tattoos than someone her age should.

That is. Any tattoos at all.

She's terrible with healing. When they told her not to fly, she did. When they told her to wash it, she didn't. Somehow, nobody really knows, she's never got an infection.

She has a tendency to fidget with the rings on her tail. She keeps rolling them around when she's bored.

Poemi has a jewelry collection for the piercings she has. She likes to change it for every outfit and coordinate everything. It's surprisingly organized. Most of it is gold but she also owns silver, rose gold and random colors and shapes for some.

Adauchi got me thinking a bit more, I think he'd get his first piercing while helping Emalf falsify documents. Like, he'd falsify his dads signature for both of them, and they'd get their their piercings together. On the same spot. Because that's what bros do.

It'd be a helix or something, probably. Maybe two.

Funnily enough, both Adauchi and Poemi simply don't care about being caught by their father. Adauchi wouldn't actively tell him but he wouldn't hide it either, he just doesn't give a single shit about his father finding out.

And as always, he never noticed.

All of his piercings, at least from before he left the Flame World, he did with Emalf. Since he was always going, it was just easier. Plus he could make fun of Emalf of being scared, light-heartedly, of course.

He did hold his hand when he asked, so .

Different from Emalf and Poemi, all of Adauchis piercings are silver in color, not gold. He likes being a little more discrete, even if he still wears gold sometimes.. Just not on his face.

Before leaving, Adauchi pierced most of his ears and a bit of his tail, not being able to pierce his wings and horns because.. He doesn't have any. (Do we know why yet..?)

After leaving, the first piercing he decided to do was snake bites. Why? It just fits him perfectly.

It took a long time for him to actually do it, like years. His head was thinking about more important things.

But when he decided to do it, it was a bit bittersweet. He remembered Emalf, since they always went to get piercings together, and wished he could be there again. After that one he really didn't feel like doing another, it wasn't the same anymore.

Doesn't have as many piercings as Emalf and Poemi, could possibly have had more if he stayed. (Emalf really is the piercing influencer, everyone in a radius of him gets the urge to put metal on their bodies)

Out of the three, is the one with better hygiene in regards to the piercings. Part of the reason he doesn't want anymore is because he really doesn't like cleaning all of it.

At some point in time he lost a piece of jewelry and let the thing close, he just didn't care enough.

alright. I gotta rant about something.

so I'm sure you all probably know by now that David Tennant has made a return as the Doctor in Doctor Who after like 12 years since the end of his run and almost 10 years since the last time he was in the show at all. even if you don't watch the show, you probably know by now on account of how many people are losing their minds over it.

and apparently people are somehow thinking it's racist that this is happening. because Ncuti Gatwa, a black actor, was announced as the casting choice for the next major incarnation of the Doctor a few months before the centenary special Power of the Doctor aired, only for Tennant to show up at the end of POTD after 13 regenerated, leaving many people wondering where the new Doctor was, before we were only treated to a short teaser of the upcoming special that included the briefest glimpse of Ncuti at the end... aaaand then the announcement that the show would be on hiatus again for another 13 months until the 60th anniversary special in November 2023.

now, I understand that it's definitely a bad look for them to sort of bait and switch people like that, I was watching with friends and we were all expecting to see Ncuti after the special and then we were all losing it when we saw David instead. but there are people who are claiming that not just RTD, but also David Tennant himself, are doing this out of intentional, malicious racism against Ncuti and are basically just making things even worse than they were in the chibnall era (somehow).

but that honestly just... makes no fucking sense. literally what would be the reason for RTD and the BBC to cast a black man as the doctor, make a big deal out of it on social media, and then not put him in the show at all just because he's being maliciously racist? I think it would have pretty much the same effect for RTD to cast another white man to play the newest incarnation of the doctor, intentionally turning Ncuti down in the process, and then just rolling with him instead.

so even though I get why it could definitely be taken kind of racist, I don't think that it was intentionally done that way. but then you might be wondering, "well if it wasn't malicious, then why cast DT and announce HIM as the 14th doctor when it should have been Ncuti??" well, it's more complicated than any of how the people angrily ranting about it are explaining it, but I think this video explains it well:

youtube

basically the way this video explains it is this: RTD came back to the show at kind of a weird time. the last episode they had written, filmed, and planned to air was POTD, which wrapped production not long after RTD was announced to take the reins again in October 2021. also, coming up on the horizon not long after POTD was supposed to air was the 60th anniversary, which would obviously be a big deal for the show-- as the longest running sci-fi TV series in the world, every major anniversary is a huge milestone.

the only problem is that this kinda left RTD with a logistical nightmare. he didn't have a new doctor yet, and even if he were able to get one the day after taking over the show, there just wasn't enough time to write, film, edit, and air a whole season of the show before the 60th. and RTD wouldn't really want to introduce the new doctor during the anniversary either: the anniversary has brought back older doctors since the show's 10th anniversary, and no matter who he cast, they would most likely get overshadowed by the nostalgic figureheads alongside them even if their performance was absolutely top notch.

and there was also another problem: when RTD DID finally cast Ncuti as the new doctor, he was busy filming the new season of sex education as well as the Barbie movie with Margot Robbie. which left him with another conundrum: should he wait for the actor who really, REALLY won him over in his audition to be available for the show, or should he tell him that he did amazing but they need someone more readily available?

ultimately, RTD chose the former, and I think it was the right decision. but that still left a gap in the anniversary special that RTD had to fill before Ncuti would be able to commit to the show full time. so, in the interest of the nostalgia that comes with anniversary specials and the part of the doctor still needing someone to bridge the gap between Jodie and Ncuti, he turned to a fan favorite: David Tennant. and that's pretty much where we are today. Tennant isn't REPLACING Ncuti, and he's really not replacing Jodie either. he's a placeholder, a way to get things from point A to point B.

and people are saying that DT is overshadowing Ncuti just by... existing and being part of the show again, but the thing is, they are actively trying to give Ncuti the spotlight. RTD and the show's official social media accounts both announced Ncuti's casting a week BEFORE even mentioning the fact that David Tennant and Catherine Tate would be coming back for the 60th. RTD has made numerous posts about Ncuti and how absolutely thrilled they both are for this new upcoming era, and he's barely even mentioned DT since his original announcement. (not because of some kind of estrangement between the two, if that wasn't obvious: he's just acknowledging that this isn't David's era that we're about to see.) even David Tennant himself has spoken in interviews about how legitimately AMAZING Ncuti is as the doctor and now excited he is for him as well. at this point the only ones who are actually focusing more on David and less on Ncuti ARE THE ONES COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW RTD AND DAVID ARE TRYING TO OVERSHADOW NCUTI. (and also all the media outlets trying to bank on David's return to make money selling stories, which is a whole new post.)

by trying to make such a big moral dilemma out of David Tennant being back for no more than three episodes a year from now, people on the internet are basically becoming the exact type of person they're trying to be mad at: they're focusing more on the guy who's coming back temporarily to help things transition forward, and less on the fact that things are going to have such a bright future ahead with the new guy, we just have to actually get there first.

and like I said: I don't know if it was the best choice either, and from what I've seen, POTD was originally supposed to end by cutting off before we actually saw the end result of 13's regeneration, which I would have been okay with, but the point is that RTD was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation and ultimately tried to do his best to give Ncuti the chance to shine without getting overpowered by the major event of the 60th anniversary in his first ever appearance on the show, and I think he's doing his best with that. and as far as the numbering issue, I'm not thrilled about tenthree/tenteen/retro-ten or whatever you want to call him being referred to as the "fourteenth doctor" either, but since the numbering system was pretty much meaningless after Moffat's whole "well actually eleven is actually thirteen because something something war doctor something something tentoo something something vanity" thing, and is now even more meaningless thanks to chibnall and the timeless child, I honestly wouldn't split too many hairs over it. most of the official announcements from the show's social media didn't even give Ncuti a number to begin with anyway, and the only primary source I found that actually called him "the fourteenth doctor" right after the announcement was a BBC news article that wasn't even written by someone affiliated with the show anyway, so the whole thing is probably a misunderstanding that's spiralled out of control anyway. either way, it's just a number, it's not like the doctor even refers to themselves by their number in the show anyway.

TL;DR: David Tennant is only playing the Doctor again temporarily to help transition the show into Ncuti's run to help relieve him from the onus of trying to carry the 60th anniversary as the main Doctor in his first appearance as the Doctor, and we should all be focusing less on him and more on what we have to look forward to from Ncuti.

[also on AO3] Blue Poison/Exusiai

“*sniff sniff* I’d know that smell anywhere!” Exusiai stopped dead in her tracks as she and Texas stepped out of Penguin Logistics’ Rhodes Island office. “I’ve gotta know who’s baking apple pie right now! See ya later, Tex!”

“Sure. Don’t eat too much.”

The Sankta didn’t reply to that, barely having heard it as thoughts of brown sugar and cinnamon swirled through her mind. It wasn’t an obsession, or some kind of addiction, it just reminded her of home and was probably the best-tasting thing ever made by anyone ever, so of course she was going to go track down the source. She dashed through the door of the nearest kitchen, following her noise for the fruity taste that- Oh! A familiar face, even. “How’s it going, Beepy? Is that an apple pie I smell, hmm?”

“It certainly is.” Blue Poison smiled as she turned her attention from the oven’s timer. “I just put it back in for the full bake, though, so it’ll be about an hour before it’s ready.”

“Awesome! You’re not making it for someone else, right?” Hopefully not.

The Anura shook her head. “I’ve never baked a pie before, so it’s a bit experimental, but I’d appreciate your opinion on it.”

“Can’t say no to that~” Exu leaned over the kitchen counter. “We haven’t gone on a mission together in a while, have we?”

“Seven months,” the toxicologist replied, blushing when she realized how quickly she remembered the exact number.

The other Sniper cocked her head. “That long, huh?”

“Y-yes.” Blue looked off to the side. “And yet we never exchanged contact information.”

“Wait, for real? I thought you had my number. Well, that’s a quick fix.” The Sankta flipped her a business card.

The Anura caught it, but she didn’t look at it. “I already have your number… but I didn’t think you would accept messages from one you wouldn’t recognize.”

“Oh, gotcha!” She shrugged. “I mean, you could have just said it was you?”

“...I could have.”

There was an awkward silence. “You thought I might leave you on read?”

“Yes,” Blue breathlessly admitted. “The rumors about me-”

“Even if they were true, it’s not like you could poison me over the phone.” Exusiai stood up and walked into the kitchen proper.

Was it getting hotter? The other Sniper looked at the oven, but no, the temperature hadn’t risen above what she’d set it to. “That’s true…”

“Besides, I know you don’t want to hurt me.” She smiled softly. “You’re too sweet for that, Blue.”

“I’m-” The Anura stopped mid-sentence, lungs caught in a gasp.

The Sankta had slid the oven mitt off the toxicologist’s hand and set her hand there in its place. “I know you are. You’re also pretty slippery - every time I wanted to see you, you weren’t anywhere I could find you.”

“You looked for me?” Her eyes sparkled. “I thought you were avoiding me; every time I went to your office, you were out on a delivery or another er- did we miss each other every time?”

“For a couple of crackshots like us, that’s kind of embarrassing.”

Blue giggled. “Perhaps. I think it’s rather cute, honestly.”

“Oh, really?” The courier squeezed the Anura’s hand. “Speaking of cute, are you busy after this?”

“Hmm? Oh, um, uh, no, I’m sing- I mean free, yes, free this afternoon, evening, night, mhmm.” What composure she’d maintained completely collapsed around her.

Exu chuckled. “Don’t fall to pieces on me before I finish asking you out, now. Normally, I’d be having a Girls’ Night Out with Penguin, but everyone else is busy tonight. Wanna be my plus-one at the bar tonight?”

“Sure!... You drink alcohol regularly?” It wasn’t a complete surprise, but it was hard for the toxicologist to envision somehow. “I can’t remember the last time someone asked me to drink with them.”

“Hopefully you’ll remember tonight, then. ‘Sides, since Cross and the Emperor aren’t gonna be there, I’ll be taking it easy. Wow, that still smells so good~” Standing so close to the oven was practically intoxicating in its own way for the Sankta.

Much more praise like this, and Blue was going to overheat. “Exusiai-”

“You can call me El, Beepy.” She booped the Anura’s nose with a snicker, but she couldn’t have expected her friend’s response. “Eh? Uh, Beepy?”

“Sorry.” The toxicologist attempted a retreat, backing into the kitchen island behind her and steadying herself against it so she didn’t trip over herself.

The Sankta gave her a knowing smile. “So Beepy has a blep button? That’s pretty cute~”

“It was entirely on reflex,” she swore. “My tongue-”

“You don’t have to apologize for wanting a taste, Beeps.” Exu stepped forward to put herself back in Blue’s reach.

The Anura was seriously starting to feel feverish now. “El… Why are you acting like this?”

“Eh?” The mood of the moment shattered to pieces. “What-”

“Are you trying to seduce me so you can use me to get free apple pie?”

The courier gasped. “What?! No! I would never-”

“I knew this would happen,” Blue was already mumbling to herself. “Making anything but a cake was a mistake…”

“Beeps-” But ‘Beeps’ had already tossed her remaining oven mitt onto the island behind her and started walking towards the exit.

Which left Exusiai alone in the kitchen with a baking pie, a pair of oven mitts on opposite counters, a timer for when the pie would be ready… and a mess she knew she had to clean up.

The next day, when Blue Poison went to use the oven again, she found a message for her, written on a sticky note attached to a glass dome set atop half an apple pie. ‘She didn’t even eat the whole thing… I hope she mentioned what was wrong with it.’

“Beeps,

I left you half the pie - it was too good not to share. Seriously, I don’t even think the pies back in Laterano were this good. Obviously it’s yours, so if you wanna have the rest, go ahead, ‘kay?

Sorry if I was too pushy earlier, I… I just really like you. Like, really REALLY like you. Hope we can still be friends if you don’t feel like giving me another chance (but like I’d really appreciate that >.<).

xoxo,

El (or Exu, or ‘that girl,’ whatever you wanna call me’s fine)

“El...” The Anura sighed, folding the piece of paper and pocketing it before lifting the glass. “I shouldn’t have accused her like that.”

“I don’t blame you,” a voice said from behind her, making Blue jump.

She at least had the presence of mind not to drop the glass, but it was a narrow miss. “El! When did you- You weren’t waiting here for me all night, were you?”

“Not that long,” the Sankta replied, slinking into the kitchen proper. The toxicologist couldn’t remember ever seeing her so gloomy. “Only a couple hours.”

“El…”

The courier smiled. “You’re calling me that instead of Exusiai, at least. That’s something.”

“I-” Blue wished she’d come up with something to say beforehand. “I…”

“I’m sorry about yesterday - picked a real bad time to try and pull a move on you. Lord knows I’ve never been good at that. Could we try again from the beginning, maybe?” Exu’s smile was thin, barely reaching the corners of her mouth.

It made the Anura’s heart ache. She held up the pie tin. “Do you want the rest of this?”

“I’ll finish it off,” the Sankta shrugged, “but you should really try some, too. Like I said, it’s too good to keep to myself… Actually, I took some to Sora and Texas, too. They wanted to know where I bought it, so I told them you made it, and they gave me a couple hundred LMD for me to give to you.”

“Th-that won’t be necessary,” she managed.

Nonetheless, the courier pulled the bills out of her wallet. “I can’t keep this - it’s yours.”

“And I can’t eat this pie because I made it for you,” Blue finally admitted. “I thought if I made you a pie, you’d want to spend more time with me, but when it worked, it all felt so hollow and… I didn’t want to be right about that after all.”

“Well, you were half right: I do want to spend more time with you. That was true before I ever tried your baking, though - hell, I think it was that first mission together I gave you my number.”

The Anura shook her head. “I got your number from the directory.”

“Wait, so you never got my note?” The toxicologist as El stamped her foot. “You’re kidding, right? I slid a note in your coat while we were driving back. You didn’t get it?”

“I washed my clothes as soon as we got back,” she sheepishly admitted.

Exusiai stared at the ceiling. “Lord, why’d ya have to go and make this so hard, huh? Got something against this cutie and I trying to go on a date?”

“S-speaking of which,” Blue swallowed before continuing, “um… Could you please take another bite of pie for me?”

“Beeps, I’m not-” But there was already a spoonful hovering in front of her.

Beeps looked her in the eye. “Please, it’ll make sense in a moment.”

“Alright, but only because you asked nicely.” She dutifully took the bite without taking the spoon, accidentally leaving some of the sugary-sweet syrup on her lips… Exactly like the Anura hoped she would. “Seriously, though, you should- mmm~”

“...Hmm.” There was a twinkle in her eye as the toxicologist pulled back, though her brow was furrowed.

The Sankta took a shaky breath. That’d been more of a rush than any sweet she’d ever had. “Well, chef, what’s the verdict?”

“I’m not sure.” Blue set down the pie tin. “It might be a little too sweet for me.”

“Maybe that’s-” Before the courier could finish the thought, she’d been ambushed for another kiss.

The Anura gave herself just enough space to whisper, “-because you make life sweet enough?”

“Y-yeah, that’s where I was going with that,” Exu admitted, face brighter red than her hair. “So, uh, we’re good, right?”

“You’re forgiven, certainly… but we’ve kept each other waiting long enough, haven’t we?”

She gulped. “I kinda thought I was going too fast yesterday.”

“If anything,” Beeps smiled, “you were a little slow.”

“I’ll try to keep up, then.” Which the Sankta immediately acted on by going for the third kiss-ambush of the conversation.

Of course, her target was more than prepared for it this time…

Kissing scars... in Worship?!?!?! I'm so hype for this last chapter. While I'm sad the smuttening is over I'm so excited for nuhos prumys!!! I can't wait to see what you explore in Worship!!! Also can you believe 2022 is almost over!?!?! I felt like yesterday was just January lol - 🔥

I KNOW, RIGHT??? This year has simultaneously been the fastest and the slowest fucking year of my life. Can't believe we almost in 2023!

I can only hope that 'Worship' delivers the above; honestly, sometimes Daemon and Reader take things in a completely different direction. What I DO know, is that some of Daemon's butt is getting the spotlight this chap. Babey Reader wakes up before him (cuz he had a late night because fucking Rodrick from 'Hush' sliced himself open on a sword, the fuckwit - Daddy Daemon to the rescue) and spies on his naked bod. Gotta love that butt.

I'm getting ramped up for the pregnancy fic, too! I'm excited to be returning to plot, as I'm finding the smut a little hard to get through now. Didn't think through the logistics of writing ten smut chapters in a row with little reprieve, haha. It gets a little repetitive, and so the constant revision to change that is exhausting. But - ONE MORE CHAPTER AAAAAAAH.

Thank you so much, anon!

Gwitch ep 6 initial thoughts

okay i’m travelling, but i did catch ep 6 of Gwitch. As usual, messy thoughts under the cut

on the one hand: there’s a lot of plot popping off, so that’s great—i wonder what the ‘real’ Elan’s relation is to the Peil CEOs, and whether the doubles are ‘found’ (poor children taken in by Peil subsidaries and later converted) or made from scratch. The ‘real’ Elan did say something like “your face will be returned to you” to Elan (Number 4), so presumably the Elan clones did have their own appearances before?

it’s cool we get some more info on how the members of the dueling committee are selected: it looks like the head of the Big Three dorms are automatically part of the committee, which makes sense. However, I'm not sure about the allegiance of Secelia and Rouji—I don’t think they’re part of the Big Three, and I think they’re also in the same dorm? it suggests that there’s a 4th party that may be specifically involved in dueling logistics (since they have 2 members on the committee). I’m not sure if there are supposed to be more dueling committee members, or if the Big Three dorm heads + Secilia + Rouji are all of the members. It’d be kinda cool if all the dorm heads are technically part of the dueling committee, but most of them just don’t bother with those duties bc everyone knows the Big Three calls the shots. (Also... so far we’ve only seen Secilia and Rouji perform support duties—we haven’t seen Shaddiq duel yet either, but we know he had dueled others before from the convo in ep 3. Just what is Secilia and Rouji’s deal, and which dorm do they belong to???)

Speaking of dorms, it’s really funny that Guel is just chilling in a tent after he’s kicked out. Now that both he and Miorine are technically squatters when it comes to their living situations, i wonder if it’s something they grudgingly bond over later on, since it’s pretty clear that Guel is probably going to ally with Suletta and co. eventually. I’m glad he didn’t interact with our girls this episode though, since imo they need more time to set up what his goals are now that he’s kicked out and how those may intersect/interfere with Suletta and Miorine’s. And honestly if he’s going to ally with Suletta + Miorine, I need him to earn it.

As for the other stuff... I can’t quite decide whether it’s brilliant or annoying that Elan (Number 4) is basically made to be interesting, just in time to be secretly terminated(?) by Peil Tech. On the one hand, he is dehumanized not just by Peil Tech, but kinda by the narrative as well—he’s a walking plot device made to introduce narrative hooks (”I was already cursed” okay so there’s more plot re: Enhanced People, not to mention the implications of him having had his own face and birthday before becoming the ‘real’ Elan’s double, him seeing Aerial’s AI/Gund-bit take the form of a child etc) and left unable to enact his own will, but... the gruesome extent to which he is dehumanized is the entire point of this character, so him being a plot device makes sense. However, I’m not really looking forward to all the mistaken identity stuff when the new Elan gets to school and interacts with Suletta; identity mishaps can be done really well or really poorly, there’s no in-between lol

Also I just gotta say... Prospera/Elnora is very well informed; she knows about Jeturk Sr. trying to assassinate Delling, and she knows about Peil Tech manufacturing multiple Enhanced Humans to pursue Gundam research—I assumed the “witch” is referring to her old colleague, but honestly... who knows. Her ex-colleague also mentions a Mysterious Revenge-Worthy Event that happened 21 years ago—Suletta is 17, but I can’t imagine Prospera wanting to get revenge for something that happened 4 years before the annihilation of Ochs Earth. So I think the theory that Ericht is Aerial’s AI and Suletta is a clone/created by Elnora makes the most sense from the info we’re given so far, especially when it’s implied Aerial’s AI takes on the form of a child. (It’s worth noting that 4 is going to be an arc number going forward: Eri was 4 when the Ochs Earth Massacre happened; there are 4 years between whatever Mysterious Event Prospera and her ex-colleague were talking about and Suletta’s birth; the Elan that we’ve spent time with so far is Peil’s 4th Enhanced Person etc... is it just Four Is Death at play, or is there some other significance to the number?)

I just hope there’s more corporate drama soon because the Pharact is so obviously a gundam, with Elan (Number 4)’s data storm level exceeding acceptable limits during the duel—imo it’s a premise-breaking mistake if they don’t show how the Benerit Group reacted (esp Delling & Grasseley Defense, who are shown to the most anti-Gundam.) Since next episode is called "Shall We Gundam" I think it'll follow up on the corporate side of things

Writing Advice Anon here. Sorry for being so vague. I guess some more specific questions I would have would be about your thought process while writing. Mainly A) What do you think about while write ___'s emotions in your Deja Vu series? And B) If you have created some original spells for something in one of your series, what are the logistics for them?

Also, thanks for the scrapped document tip! It'll be a really big help :D

To answer your questions more fully; A) I honestly just go through my own emotions within the context of the scene. I know it's super cheesy, but I definitely pull from whatever I'm feeling if I were put into those situations. I think it makes my writing better and allows me to write a more thorough narrative. For example, when the infamous Belphegor scene popped up, I was like "Y'know, if I'd been through this much shit, and this was the icing on the cake, I don't know that I'd be scared. What the hell can I use to trigger that spell??" and I thought through all the possible outcomes and landed on "Fear of failure" because I think that works really well to the narrative I'm building with this character, and it felt real to me as a person. B) I can't share the logistics of my spells here (I gotta write them first so people can see it in the series first! haha) but I can say I take a lot of inspiration from scifi concepts. Someone once told me "If you want to write well for a genre, read anything EXCEPT that genre" and it's such good advice. I read a fucktonna scifi, and the way I write magic definitely follows a scifi concept of structure because of it. I also read a lot of non-fiction (Textbooks for pathology, human anatomy, diseases and medical afflictions and how to treat them, crafting how-to's, baking and cookbooks, ect..) which really affects how I interact with and engage with tangible magic in my writing (Like potions and artificery, ect..) So my recommendation if you're looking to create good spellwork/magic concepts, is to read a genre that you personally love to read that has a lot of technical aspects to it. Get into some technical hobbies! Things that expand on medicine, engineering, chemistry, machines in general, ect... are fantastic as a basis for getting the fantasy generator going for me. --- Hope that helps you on your writing journey!
