"living well" is too hard The Maiden and the Road: obliviously driving m y car through chernobyl , absorbing lethal anmounts of radiation while looking for cute girls

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

Hi!! Thank you for sending me an ask! I haven't answered this before but either ways no need to apologize ^_^'. This is hard to answer since I watch so much stuff but never get overly attached. I can only think of nine and even that took a while. So, here's them!

Sokka from Avatar The Last Airbender When I was a kid, I didn't like him during s1 but he really grew on me as time went on, and I rewatched the show again and immediately fell back in love with his character! He didn't believe in spiritual stuff, I really related to that as a kid because I was the same and people often told me i was 'immoral' for not having a god to worship or believing in higher powers so seeing Sokka be a skeptic was very nice for me. I even forced my mom into helping me build a mini air balloon.

Katara from Avatar The Last Airbender Literally every little girl wanted to be Katara when we watched the show. She was the first and for the longest time, only dark-skinned protagonist I had seen. Her fight against Pakku altered my brain cells. I love her so much, I lover her anger, her drive, her conviction and her ability to hope in the face of even the darkest threats. She's always going to be a part of my heart and how I grew up

Korra from The Legend of Korra My bi awakening!!! Korra impacted me just as much as Katara, possibly more. I loved watching her fight and be so upfront and bold and in your face. "I'm the Avatar and you've gotta deal with it!" she said and I immediately fell in love. I want to be as courageous as her. I watched when it first aired and to this day I'm like, aspiring to look like her I was so obsessed with the way she fought. Powerful, a force of nature. But she's also very flawed, angry, dejected and feels so much. I related to her struggles a lot, especially in season 3. She's in a world that considers itself to not need an Avatar, every decision she takes is contested but she's doing it all thanklessly to better everyone's lives.

Jiang Cheng from Mo Dao Zu Shi Oh buddy......This one......I relate to him a lot. Especially about being 'second best' and never reaching the top, I understand his fears and doing his best despite it. His entire arc is about how he 'fails' his family's motto which is to 'Attempt the impossible' and falling short and being second to everyone. He's done a lot of things wrong, but I like that. I enjoy characters whose grief and anger are ugly and has ugly consequences. I understood his jealousy of the main character whose level he could never reach, the twisted ways in which he could never express his true emotions because that's what he's been taught and showing anything true would be considered a weakness. He's one of the most imperfect and human characters in MDZS and I lvoe that.

Lucy from Fairy Tail Lucy!!! She's so bubbly and optimistic! I loved watching her grow and close to the entire cast of Fairy Tail. I loved seeing her make friends and slowly take on more and more powerful villains. I love her powers (summoning spirits from the zodiac). Her best scene that really nailed her as my favorite character was her solo episode where she goes to her dad and tells him to his face that he's not going to let her restrict her dreams. It was an amazing scene because she was alone then, most of the story follows the cast as a group. She really left an impression on me as a kid.

Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen This dude very quickly climbed up to be a favorite. I empathize with why he became the villain. I love that his character has been used to highlight the banality of working under a capitalist system and how soul-sucking it is. He really made me viscerally see the phrase "cog in the murder machine". I used to relate to Teenagers scare the living shit outta me as an actual teen but this made me reconsider the same song and its implications from an adult perspective. It's wild how quickly you are stripped of who you are, how teens and their troubles aren't supported and they either grow up to conform, break or go wildly against the 'machine' in destructive ways.

Katniss from The Hunger Games Again, another character who is raw, human, allowed to show the uglier sides of herself. She's important in starting the revolution but her journey towards freeing herself is dictated by the more powerful adults around her. She just wants to protect her sister, her mom, her little corner of the world at the end of the day. A lot of dystopians that are inspired by Hunger Games forget that Katniss just wants peace, she's just like any other citizen who wants to survive, she's not the 'chosen one'.

Akashi from Kuroko no Basket That boy has been haunting me since 2014-15. He's just a part of my life now. KNB is now fundamental to my being and he's the center of it.

Pam Beesly from The Office I just really relate to her as a person. She's a very normal woman with a passion for drawing and she finds her own little way to pursue her dreams. I think she really highlights how special even normal things can be and how it's important to cherish that.

Furihata from Kuroko No Basuke: EDIT HOW DID I FORGET HIM!?!?!? HOW???? He's my pookie I am absolutely not normal about him. His total screen time is like 12 minutes in a 3 season anime but he left an impression. He's just, I love him okay? He's not the best player on the team and he had no passion for b-ball at the start but he really grew more confident and came to love the game. He's a total under dog. This absolutely no name background character HOODWINKED THE MAIN FUCKING ANTAOGNIST. Threw him off so bad that his being there flipped the game. I think his character really shows how important it is to work hard and never give up, and to appreciate yourself for your own accoplishemnts instead of comparing yourself to others. As long as you are better than what you were before, that is still amazing progress.

Honorable mentions; Rosa from Brooklyn 99, Jane from Tarzan, Bucky from very specifically the Captain America Trilogy.

I don't actually make a lot of content for my favorite characters weirdly enough XDXD, I'm not sure why. I make a lot of content for Jon Kent and Jay Nakamura from DC Super-family but they didn't make the list.

Fanfic Writer asks:

16) Do you have a method for getting characters to sound/feel in character?

20) What is your favorite thing about writing fanfic? What about writing in general?

Sending 💋💋💋

send me a fanfic ask

come here IMMEDIATELY and let me love you

I've answered 1 & 7 over hereeeee. technically done 14 already but i have a bonus just because it's you

but also for 7. the true answer is "with spite and impatience", because i truly TRULY hate some parts of editing. i usually have to take a LOT of breaks and go over it in a new context/with fresh eyes.

16. UGH does banging my head against my word processor until the Vibe is right count? that's what it feels like, sometimes.

depends on the character, to be honest. sometimes it's about identifying helpful word choices/patterns of speech that will indicate/remind you of the character without much effort (see hank: "fuckin' androids"; you probably read that in his voice), or about signposting typical behaviours that allow you to "see" them very easily (see: sixty and smirking; the action is tangible). for others it's about feeling who they are as a person. working with OCs is very different to canonical characters, naturally. quite often I'll try and use a scene/"in" point that's similar to a canon one so give me a guide for speech/behaviour, and build naturally from there. like slipping into an accent, I guess. hard to describe. after the initial writing, it's editing word choice to death until i can HEAR and SEE them properly. and a lot of yelling in betweeeeeeen

20. LITERALLY EVERYTHING ASHFJHKAJSHJA oh my GOD. i lvoe the technical challenge. I love SEEING a world or a scene or a person or a place so vividly and having to find the right words to communicate it to someone else. I love that moment when someone reads something you wrote and tells you EXACTLY what you meant to convey but in their own words, as if you transplanted the idea from your mind right into theirs.

I love figuring out new characters, who they are, and how I want them to grow. I love putting them in Situations and watching them try and fail and succeed to feel and manage their emotions. I love making them REACT to each other. I love taking the smallest part of an idea and building it into something bigger. i fucking love hiding details and small ideas inside a larger fic, whether others find them or not. I love that moment in planning when the small details line up with the big ones, where the theme unintentionally (or otherwise) parallels itself. I love analysing my own planning and writing to DEATH so I can fit as much as possible into it.

i love the escapism. I love feeling everything vicariously. i just really, really fucking love writing, okay.

bonus:

14. I've technically done this one, but I try and hide multiple bits and pieces in fics, so I have another oneeeeee, this one's in a question of time again, but it's less to do with the fic itself and it's what I did with the chapter titles (hidden under the cut for 😏 length):

so I started with just like... a small set of physics jokes, to sort of play into the "accident of physics" time loop thing. it works nicely! it matches my vibeeee and I love it. a quick breakdown of the physics, without much science bc who has the time, really:

path divergence comes from path difference, which describes the distance 2 waves travel to get to the same point. thematically relevant for connor and sixty, whose paths are very different but related. will have relevance for the finale.

parallax is a type of error that crops up because of an observer's line of sight. put your thumb up in front of you face, an arm's length away. close one eye. now swap eyes. see how your thumb looks like it's shifted sideways? that's parallax. something something same thing from different perspectives and it's relevance to connor and sixty

supersymmetry is just me poking fun at physics and physicists. do you believe in a symmetrical universe? SHOULD we have matching sets of particles? I sure as shit don't know. the relevance of this is that in supersymmetry, every particle we know about would have an analogue. they always come in pairs.

interferometry is a method of measuring Stuff based on the interference pattern of two waves. again, sixty and connor as interfering with each other, and the wave pattern giving us something to think about. also just bc, depending on perspective... connor and sixty are literally just interfering in one another's business.

here's where we get interesting.

I wanted a slow slide in theme from physics (time loop! interesting cosmic accident!) to technology. interferometry marks the tipping point bc it's a measurement technique - based in science, sure, but it's tech. onwards:

logic error - there is a fault in the structure of the program. it probably won't crash, but it also won't work correctly. eheheheh. this is where we start getting FUN.

fragmentation - an experimental chapter, for sure, but I knew from the get-go I wanted something achronological for Funsies and also for the technical challenge, bc I'm an idiot. I wrote the chapter in fragments, so the name (and reference to data, especially memory data, being fragmented and saved/accessed in random order) seemed to fall out naturally.

random access memory is volatile, temporary, and easily lost, and doesn't that just feel appropriate for sixty, at this, his tipping point? i'm hoping there's a dimension added to this with [redacted] in ch 8; we'll see. regardless, I wanted that strong vibe of if you die, you lose this, for sixty in this chapter. he's in a race against being reset.

and no, I'm not telling you the title for chapter 8, except to say: it follows the theme, it references the time loop specifically, and I've had it planned since I wrote and published chapter 2. I'm laughing evilly.

i saw my sea of indigo drabble request in your trello and i feel as if it’s time i reveal myself after almost 2 years of following you and your stories <3 (i’ve been mostly silently watching and appreciating from afar, but now i just want to be friends hehe) i used to use this emoji 🧚🏻 on anon, but then someone also started using that so i just stopped as to not confuse <3 ANYWAY when i say i was giggling and kicking my feet in the air when i checked trello and you are considering it UGH… your writing has been such a source of comfort and happiness for me for the entirety of my army life. i go back to SOI and lowlander so often i feel like i could quote them. you mean the world to so many of us foxy <3

This is so sweet and heartwarming and it means so much to me! I see you liking things in my notes sometimes but I never knew you were a 🧚🏻anon at any point! I think you may be one of the first screennames I got used to seeing on tumblr. I'm so glad Sea of Indigo and Lowlander still mean so much to you. Considering how rotten my own memory is, it's bonkers to me when people lvoe and remember my stories and even go back!

I'm definitely excited to write the Sea of Indigo drabble. That was always a bit that I was sad not to get to write, it just didn't fit in with the timing of the story since I was building to that jail scene (which I believe was the first thing I ever wrote for that story!) Now you've suggested an opportuntiy for him to get his moment, so I hope it's good and you enjoy it :)

Hunger games anon back again!

You have very good taste my friend

Finnick is one of my all time favorite characters, I adore him sm

And I also really enjoy the dynamic between him and Katniss

I also rlly love Annie

I may check out your hunger games au!! It sounds very cool

Oh also have you read "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" ??? N if so what r ur thoughts ??

HIIIII HUNGER GAMES ANON im sooo sorry it took me so long to get back 2 u omg :((((

i loooooove songbirds and snakes. im a sucker for a villain origin story and ofc a good tragedy, and i love what susanne collins does with the world building in it so freaking much. world building the history of the games is so so fascinating, and i love lvoe lvoed reading about it. and i really super enjoyed the more directly philosophical approach she looked at the story, with sejanus and lucy gray loosely representing locke and snow taking the side of rousseu i believe? (im on summer break rn pls spare me crying emoji). looove a good philosophical allegory <- sentences that signify op gets NO bitches. but fr looooove songbirds and snakes huge vouch if anyone is interested in it :DDD

deserved better then her mother and the erins ableism

The “How could you hate something that kept you breathing?” line in SOY gets me everything

just remembered the time i spent real man hours creating a fake ben ten finsta and posts for my extended au. like. this was something i spent real time creating.

What are some of your favourite things about Astraeus? Like him as a LI 👀

aside from his, well, everything?

i love how he's a poet!!!! i love the way that he's capable of finding beauty in everything, even the most terrible things

and i love that eh put so much time and effort into growing his cherry blossom tree, and that the blossoms follow wherever he goes........

or or or there's that scene where mc is gripping a pocket full of cherry blossom petals because she'd been thinking about him- there's no way they just appeared there on their own, astraeus HAD to have sent them her way somehow...

and i love that he uses a sword that is SO sexy and fun

i love how much he tries to build mc up, how he openly and consistently acknowledges her power and strength and goodness, how he loves that about her, how he loves that she's human and fights for what's right

there's the scene in hades s1 where he threatens that he'll cut her down if she tries to escape, and when she pleads with him, he hesitates. he's been so intrigued by her from the very beginning, i cant exactly tell when he started to love her, but in that moment i like to think that he did. otherwise, why hesitate at all?

he's just. he's such an amazing character!!!!!!!!!!!! i lvoe his relationship with selene and helios. i even love the relationship he had with his brother for how interesting it was, and how he fought against pallas in hades s2.

OH OH OH AND!!!! and i love that he also acknowledges josh's strength and how mc's whole family is just. full of strong, fiery people.

and i love that he's so in tune with mc and her heart, and that he knows what she needs even if she's afraid.

i love the scene where he accidentally spooks her and steps away, not wanting to hurt or scare her

i love that he poisoned himself willingly just so that he could see her and be with her a little while longer, and that he even considered just letting it kill him if it meant that he didn't have to live in a world without her

i lvoe him..

GIF REQUEST MEME: Favorite season from The 100 - Season four

I love season four for a lot of reasons!! I think it’s the best season of the show and it should have been their last (despite my love for most of s5 ^^) I’m gonna ramble a lot but I don’t want it to take over the gifset so I’ll put it under a cut

Season four is the time of hard, impossible choices for everybody. The bomb at Farm Station, the List, the Nightblood tests, opening the bunker, the anti-radiation medicine…. Everybody is put through the ringer during this season and honestly, this is what I’m here for.

First great point for me personally: They can’t stop the radiations. When season 3 ended with the reveal of the radiations coming, I was legit disappointed with the show, I didn’t want them to spend the season “turning off” radiations miraculously, you know. So when ep 2 of the season aired and the first thing Raven said was “there’s no magic button to stop this” I WAS SO HAPPY!! It immediately got me much more hyped for the rest of the season because I was invested in “riding out 5 years of hell” much more than “let’s find a magic button”. So the season hooked me then ^^

The season is really good at re-using previous themes and twist them in just the right way

Clarke, who was so angry at the council for killing her dad, finds herself in the council’s position, and starts to understand that making such hard decisions is never easy. Making the list for instance, is so different from what she had to do before. The genocide of Mt Weather was an act of despair in the middle of a war, but making the list is a process, she has to truly chose who is “worth” more, which is what the council did when they sent the 100 to the Ground. She choses to hide the truth from everybody despite it going against what she wanted at the start of the show. It’s a really cool change for her character.

The Arkers and Grounders take the decision to test the Nightblood against Luna, the Rock Line thief, and Emori’s will. An obvious reminder of s2 but that I appreciate. I liked the Mt Weather story because of this: the mountain men were the antagonists but they also were the same as the rest of the show, they were doing whatever they had to do to survive, whatever it took, no matter how cruel it could be. We see in this season that when faced with the same decision, our protagonists reach the same result: sacrificing other people’s bodily autonomy to survive is worth it to them. It’s a really interesting theme to bring back because it muddies the waters of who’s right and wrong, and it highlights that in the end, there is no black and white answer.

This season gives us my personal favorite version of Clarke: she’s the closest she’ll get to a true antagonist (only comparable to s5 but s5 is a little bit of a mess so I still prefer her in s4). She has one conviction: saving her people. And to get it, she is ready to lie, to cheat, to kill, whatever it takes. It is interesting because I always saw Clarke in that light. She always believes that she has the right idea and she will do what it takes to get what she thinks is best. That’s where she is interesting to me (I’m not interested in her being an innocent victim forced to take decisions, that’s not how I see her at all and I find her a little dull in that interpretation haha but that’s for another post). Clarke stealing the bunker is a cruel act, but man, it’s incredibly smart. At that moment she knows she’s condeming many people (some of whom very close to her) to death, but she believes deep inside her that it’s the right thing to do so she’s willing to do it. And i really prefer her in those ruthless moments.

Octavia’s arc this season isn’t my favorite, but she is at her best during the last few episodes for me. The creation of Wonkru is one of my favorite scenes of the entire show, even though I saw it coming a mile away lmao (1200 spaces, 12 clans, it was easy to see where they were going!). I love the scene, I love the place it comes from (Octavia channeling Lincoln’s convictions was brilliant). I might not agree with her decisions (skaikru definitely deserved more spots than the other clans), but it makes perfect sense for her character to make this decision. The scene of her talking to Skaikru and telling them they’re no different from the others, and they have to choose or they all die, is also one of my favorites. Octavia received no mercy on the Ark, she had a terribly tragic childhood because of those people who are now begging her for their lives, and she doesn’t budge. The Ark, and the Ground, forced her to be that way, and she doesn’t back away. It’s also all a brilliant introduction to what Wonkru and Octavia will become in s5 (but again, that’s for another post lmao)

I love that we get the introduction of Spacekru because I love their little found family and the scene where they reach the Ring is so good!

Murphy’s speech to Clarke makes me tear up everytime I see it (it really was one of the strongest moments of acting of the entire show, Richard Harmon is amazing in it). Emori also blows me away in the previous episode, the way she’s shown to be ruthless, and cunning, and also how well she reads people. She knew they would come to test someone, and she did everything she had to for that someone to not be her. I love her ^^

I like the plot of the second dawn bunker well enough! (although I will never change my mind that Cadogan was a dumbass for putting it where it is instead of IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST WHERE THERE’S NO RISK OF BUILDINGS FALLING ON IT LIKE WHAT LITERALLY HAPPENED IN S5 OKAY anyway…..), it’s far from perfect but I like that it explains the people coming to greet Becca in s3, and I like that we expand a little on the origins of the Grounders culture (even though I wanted more about this). It’s kind of an “easy” solution, but at the same time it’s not. It was established early in the season before being abandoned, and even once it’s found, it’s not at all a perfect and easy solution. They have to fight for it, decide who lives there, it’s a pretty interesting development. What I mean is that it’s not discovered one episode before the end and it doesn’t solve everything. If anything, it creates more conflict. Which I appreciate alot.

ALSO ALSO Echo is a badass general in this season and I love it. She goes from being a spy in earlier seasons, to full-on commanding armies and being a strategic mastermind and I love it! She’s also ruthless and cunning and I lvoe that for her. It’s also such a good season for her and Bellamy!!! I lvoe all of it ^^

This season also has one of my favorite underrated quotes!!!! I’m gonna use a gif here cause I’m not at the limit yet lmao

“It’s unity day.” GODDDD it’s so good. It’s simple, but it conveys so much information and I love it:

Unity Day: the stations coming together to survive -> we’re virtually in the same situation here.

It’s a happy occasion, a day of survival and hope, just like the hope Octavia gave all the clans with her decisions

But it’s also a day of death and loss. She’s giving Kane a choice: join Wonkru with 100 members, or die in the flames.

It reminds us of the history of the Arkers, and I love when world-building does this thing where both characters are shown to have such a close cultural background that three little words are enough to convey such a strong message. It’s a detail but I love it and I wanted to ramble for a little bit ^^

Clarke’s sacrifice: This is when it gets to “meh” points for the seasons for me. Clarke deciding to stay behind to save Spacekru was a good moment. Yes, I know that if she hadn’t climbed the tower they all would have died anyway, but still. It’s a great moment for her character. She has hurt those people time and time again during this season, she was ready to let them die more than once, and I think she regrets it (although again, I like to see the extremes she’s willing to reach in this season). In that moment, she doesn’t decide that it’s too late to survive so she might as well give up. She knows she’s going to die, and she gives her last moments to save the lives of the people she hurt in the past. And I really love this. That is….. Until Clarke is revealed to not have died. I truly believe that she had reached the ending of her arc in the show, and it would have been a great ending to her character. But that’s also because I believe the show should have ended in s4 lmao. If it had ended, then maybe they could have left her death ambiguois, by showing her reaching the safety of the lab, but not showing her again afterwards. That way, we had no way of being sure she survived, but it was left ambiguous enough to make us decide her fate outselves.

The perfect ending: I didn’t choose the last gif randomly. That scene of Raven and Bellamy looking down on the Earth was in my opinion the perfect shot to end the show. At that point in time, we are left in a place that is very similar to where the show started: the Earth is destroyed by radiations, some people are waiting it out in space, some people are waiting it out on the ground. it mirrors the premise of the show (although in a much smaller scale), but this time, we’re left with hope of what might come in the future. Those two groups know (or hope) that they will reunite, especially with Octavia and Bellamy, the relationship at the core of the show, being separated. If the show ends here, we have come full circle from the pilot episode, and we can imagine how those two groups will reunite in the future. I find that ending the best possible for the show, so even though there’s so much I like about season 5, I wish the show had stopped at that moment, at that shot of Raven and Bellamy looking down on the Earth.

That got reaaaaally long, so…. sorry about that xD If you’ve reached this far, feel free to tell me what you think of this season (or the others haha) or send me asks, or request for other gifsets!!!

hello i saw your tags on my post and i'm new to jrwi as a whole, i'm only on ep 16 for riptide but i am begging you to infodump to me about riptide tell me everything you've got ping me talk to me who's your favorite character

aHSKjd Okay so honestly I don’t even have a favorite?!!

Like I’ve tried to think about one but I love them all so much equally and they’re so great!!

Chip is such a god damn bastard but I love him so god damn much (he is trans. I know this for sure 100% it’s real Bizly literally told me <3)

He’s so loyal and kind and loving and omg;; his relationship with Ollie?? Fucking lvoe rhat holt shit catch me crying I love the fact he loves kids man ajfkajfksbf

I just rlly like his personality and I also think his morals are a bit interesting. From what I can tell he is very loyal to friends, strangers are a no go and he’s willing to put them in danger over his fitness & himself, and he has a strict no kill rule even with villains (for the most part anyway,)

Plus his entire thing with Arlin? Love that- <3

Gillion is very interesting and I’m so invested into him! Like besides his whole being clueless about the over seas, his entire moral guidelines are very strict and can put the crew into a lot of situations. (But he’s also very self sacrificing so like aha holy shit don’t die 👉👈)

I want to see what happens if a situation presents him with two choices that both seem morally wrong to him and whats he do. I’m just intrigued on his moral guidelines in general

I’m ALSO intrigued on his prophecy and in general culture and I wonder if that’s going to also cause conflict and if he maybe eventually with defy his people / prophecy? Perhaps he feels / realizes that maybe the prophecy is actually shading his moral beliefs or maybe it’s something else Idk!! I have no damn clue but it’s exiting!!!

Also his entire deal with the Dream guy? So god damn scared!!!! (If I had a nickel for every time a dnd character played by Charlie slimecicle made a possibly reckless and not well thought out deal with a more powerful entity & gained a symbol on their body I’d have TWO nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happens twice and based upon the first nickel I’m very scared <3)

But like I do also really like goofy Gill. No serious moral dilemmas, no trying to kill ur friends for honor, just him being him- even if he’s fuckin clueless ^^; (also he’s pangender and Pansexual. It’s real I swear charlie slimecicle sent me a dm I have proof )

And jay!!! The one brain cell (and cannon bisexual?? Fucking hell yea! Also she uses she/he/they pronouns because I condi literally told me on a phone call I had with him it’s totally real I swear)

I feel like I don’t have much to say about jay and I feel very bad but like I’m super interested into her backstory and overall goals more!!!

Her past with with navy is very interesting with the navy and shit?? Like that’s so cool and please tell me more Jay!! You want to open up to ur possible probably trauma and dealings so bad ooOk

She’s is very much a middle child out of the group both literally and physically.

Her dynamic with chip is fantastic and I hope one day she bears the shit out of him just for fun (I mean, Gill already got to- its jays turn now! /hj)

Some other people I’m very excited for are the Lizzie girl who is like the biggest pirate?? I find it very funny that chip is jealous of her but I also just would really like to know more about her 👀👀

And like I already said I want to go more into each of their backstories (well I guess not chips since we know his backstory) & also just to see what the future holds!! Especially with jay since out of the three we know the least about her and what her biggest goal would be (chips is obviously to find the black rose & we can assume gillions is for him to fufill his prophecy)

I think I just- I am excited for the world building snd what other cool secret shit is to come from all of this! I want to know how deep this shit goes and if things like the navy, the thing with the black rose, and gills prophecy could be connected OR clashing in some way?!! (And maybe Lizzie? OH and of course mr Dream daddy- I’m so damn afraid for him)

That Razor's Edge by Fionn_Sgeul

Valerie's world was clear-cut and straightforward. Then came the night when everything she thought she knew came crashing down on her head … along with a few tons of pulverised building.

That was the night that she became the thing she feared … and discovered that maybe it wasn't a thing to be so frightened of.

And also, maybe it was finally, finally time to admit that Phantom wasn't such a bad guy after all.

summary: Virgil isn't a soft person. But sitting on his fire escape with Dee has always been his comfort, and maybe, just for Dee, Virgil can be soft. 

warnings: incorrect fire escape usage, two swear words (f word), patton and roman are namedropped but thats it, anything else lmk!

pairing: anxceit 

tagging @gr3ml1n-loser​ for the softd anxceit idea, and @brain-iak​ and @pattons-cat-hoodie​ for their support !! also all of them asked fhkdslf

---

Virgil has no idea what the laws about fire escapes are, but he feels like he might be breaking a few of them. 

Like, he knows that nobody cares if he chills on the fire escape to escape more than fire, but he’s started transforming it into a getaway, of sorts. He has a waterproof mat that he regularly dries off, places a towel to buffer, and piles with blankets. He strung up some fairy lights the other day when he saw similar lights strung around Patton’s room, because, fuck it, right? 

Which is odd, Virgil knows. The fire escape isn’t his balcony. He doesn’t have a balcony. In fact, he dreams of the day he has the money for an apartment with a balcony. 

The other day Patton gifted him a succulent and Virgil doesn’t want it to die, so he finds a spot for it on his fire escape. 

And he’s sitting there, at eleven o'clock at night, when loud clanging sounds above him. 

Startling, Virgil forces himself to focus on keeping his tea in his mug instead of splattered across his blankets. There’s a few more noises, a window closing, some breaths. 

“Hey, Virge,” his neighbor to the north says. He’s leaning over the edge of his own fire escape, teeth and eyes bright in the starlight. Fabric drapes along his arms, soft and loose. 

“Hey,” Virgil says. He settles further into his hoodie, back pressed against a pillow, supported by the external wall of the building. He peers up at his neighbor. “Coming down?” 

His neighbor makes a noise of confirmation before disappearing. Moments later, he slips down the fire escape, touching down softly on Virgil’s private getaway. 

He sinks down, expression smoothing. He practically melts into his own pillow setup, a tired sigh escaping his lips. 

Virgil hums. Drinks some tea. Stares at the lights of the city. 

“You would not believe how the actor for Belle treated me today,” Dee starts. Virgil reaches to a spot outside the realm of blankets, grabbing another mug and handing it to Dee, who takes it without preamble. He takes a sip with one hand, the other settling on the blankets between them. 

Virgil watches his movements absently. He makes a noise deep in his throat, confirming that he’s listening to Dee’s story. 

Dee talks, and talks, and talks, but it doesn’t sound like rambling. Everything he says is concise, well-thought out, to the point. He’s only talking about his day, a day in the life of a community theater stage hand, but Virgil feels warmed all the same. 

He reaches a point where he says, “and then, the newbie says he doesn’t know how to throw weight,” and Virgil cuts in with, “seems like he can barely pull his own weight,” and Dee startles. 

The night moves forward, clouds slugging across the sky, choked by pollution. But Dee laughs, and the stars shine a little brighter, the breeze feels a little warmer, the night grows a little quieter. 

Virgil smiles into his mug. 

“You know,” Dee says. Virgil can read his hesitation on the slight stick of the word, in his fingers twining around the soft blankets, in his shoulders shifting and tightening. “We’re gonna make it, you and I.” 

Virgil tears his gaze away from Dee’s hands, their eyes locking together. He can’t see the color of Dee’s eyes in the darkness, not really, but the shine of the fairy lights and Virgil’s memory fill in the striking green easily enough. 

Dee’s staring at him like he can solve the world’s problems. No -- not the world’s problems. Dee’s problems. Like Virgil could say the word and his worries would vanish, dissipating in the cool spring air. 

Virgil doesn’t know what to do with this power. 

For now, though, he’ll keep stealing Dee’s nights, holding his time hostage as they soak in the city and each other’s company. 

Virgil doesn’t reply. He sets his mug down on a blanket-less surface to prevent spilling. He shifts, shrinking the space between them inches at a time and tangling their fingers together. 

He holds Dee’s hand with reverence, memorizing the creases and calluses for the dozenth time. I know, he says in brushing his thumb against the back of Dee’s hand. We’ll make it together, he adds, pressing nimble fingers against Dee’s strong wrist. 

Dee hums. One of his hands still holds the mug but his other slides easily into Virgil’s own halting Virgil’s wordless conversation. 

He leans back against the pillow, peering up at the tangle of metal stretching above them. Up, up, up, all the way to the apartments Virgil and Dee cannot afford, even in such a run down building as this one. 

“Roman?” Virgil asks, cutting through the gentle softness of the night. They aren’t soft, not exactly. They have jagged edges, torn through situations neither likes to talk about, but sitting on a fire escape surrounded by soft things sometimes allows them to forget. 

Like a game of pretend. Like sitting together, two shattered people trying to claw their way back up, this time legally, like sitting in the quiet and talking about easy topics will change their life. 

Well. Virgil considers. It has changed their life, even a little bit, hasn’t it? 

Dee shifts. His thumb runs circles against Virgil’s wrist. Virgil catches the glint of a smile. “He said we’re in it for the long haul,” he says. He turns to look at Virgil as he says it, and Virgil’s hit with the full force of Dee’s grin. 

Every time Dee smiles his entire face transforms. He could topple nations with the quirk of his lips alone. 

Virgil, though. His chest swells up, emotion thrumming against every nerve, and he smiles back. 

Dee looks away first, looking overwhelmed. They’re closer than they were before, their shoulders pressing. Virgil can feel warmth through the many layers of clothing between them. 

Dee takes a breath, staring pointedly at the world beyond them, and continues. “Roman got a callback for a travelling group. The callback is scheduled for next week. If he makes it, he’ll have a five month tour. If he lands a good spot, I’ll be with him.”

“That’s a long time,” Virgil says out loud. He leans, dropping his head against Dee’s shoulder. I don’t want you to leave but I want you to go. 

“Yeah,” Dee says, instead of the thousand other thoughts that Virgil knows are swirling around his head. Such as, come with me. Live with me. Leave your apartment, quit your shitty office job, become an author a poet an artist, the person you always wanted to be. Write that song. Laugh. Paint a picture so gorgeous everyone will stop and stare. Live. 

Dee settles his head against the top of Virgil’s, the two of them curled together like birds seeking warmth. “Yeah,” he says instead. 

They don’t have arguments on the fire escape. It’s their ever present unspoken rule, and Virgil knows that Dee feels just as strongly about the sanctity of existing together in a space never tainted. 

They talk about life, but not about movement. 

But, maybe this once… 

“Maybe,” Virgil whispers. The words steal away in the darkness, lost in the rumble of car engines and sounds of the city. 

Dee tenses. His arm, which has slipped around Virgil’s back, holds him tighter. Virgil can read the questions in his movement. The hope beaming out of the cracks in Dee’s facade. 

“Not now,” Virgil says. He knows the words leave a lot up to interpretation; not now what? Not now, Virgil can’t move? Can’t uproot his life? Not now, he can’t deal with hard questions? 

But Virgil just knows, he knows between the subtle shifts and parted lips, that Dee caught his meaning. Not now. Virgil can’t talk about this right now. But Virgil knows Dee also caught the underlying later. 

Virgil exhales. Between the glitter of the fairy lights and the city beyond them, Virgil feels wrapped in a little bubble of his own making. 

Safe. 

Dee moves, just enough to set his own mug down and settle more completely against Virgil’s form. I love you, Virgil says, in tapping against Dee’s thigh, in melting in Dee’s arms. 

A quiet moment, the city sounding so, so far away, then; I love you too, Dee says, fingers sliding against Virgil’s arm, cheek pressed against the crown of Virgil’s head. 

Virgil doesn’t have a balcony. He doesn’t have the money for it. 

But wrapped in Dee’s arms, lights glittering around them, the night loud far away but quiet where they sit, he thinks that maybe a balcony isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. 

After all, Virgil has never been more content than when he’s sitting on his fire escape, Dee by his side. 

Hi Foxy. This is a random compliment but here goes…..I just recently re-read both Amended and Lowlander, and I realize that I absolutely LOVE when your JK characters have a nuna-with-Jin-as-their-husband! Mina with hunter/farmer Jin , and Soona with teacher Jin. The older sisters and Jin have such a sweet and loving relationship…you do such a nice job writing a stable, loving couple that exists sometimes in the background amongst whatever drama is going on with the main characters. I think we all imagine Jin to be a devoted husband with a lovable playful side. This is just such a small thing inside these masterpieces of writing and world building, but I just wanted you to know that I noticed and appreciate it ….these couples as a breath of sweetness and stability, almost as a palate cleanser!

Oh I'm so glad you said that because I've realized that in multiple of my stories Jungkook has an older sister/sister figure, and often she winds up with Jin, because that older brother dynamic (both serious and unserious) is just one I lvoe so much. But in noticing it, I worried it was tired; I'll work to avoid repeating that. But I'm so glad you've enjoyed the ones I already did 😊 It just fts so cozy for the characters in my mind!

Thank you fortelling me this, it really warmed my heart to know it has been appreciated  🥰

cna i just say if theres something i rly lovr abt kny its that grrr bark bark kny made me feel literally so bad for every demon after they died. like i think a lot of stories always try 2 take away a villains humanity so that you dont feel TOO bad or sympathize TOO much with the villain when they die/are defeated...,,,,, but kny said no❤️ and i lvoe that sm. i think it translates to real life very well like. sometimes good people do bad things and that doesnt make them inherently bad ✨🧚‍♀️

YEAH YEA AYEAHY EAH YEAH u explained it perfectly !! i think the story has a rly unique situation with its antagonists nd gotouge is able to . Really take their time to evaluate each unique character and give them their proper closure. they write it wonderfully imo and its something that really sticks w me. because yeah as you mentioned , i feel like a lot of stories struggle in finding that balance but aaaaaaaaaa yeah.. yeah. i love kny for this reason

i love how theres even . division among the antagonists in how that humanity is portrayed. i admire from a general view how all of the demons have this , almost ... duality?? i guess i would say? in their personas? the way they approached the world w their human selves vs the amplification of certain traits via their demon selves (not to talk abt akaza All the time but like. him fighting himself between muzan’s influence and that of koyuki and keizou’s is my absolute favorite). 

but w that portrayal of humanity i mentioned, i guess one example i rly like is kaigaku; someone who doesn’t receive narrative sympathy or forgiveness like some of the other demons (say gyuutarou and daki) do. and thats bc gotouge decides intentionally highlight the more negative aspects of humanity that drive / characterize him . i mean , kaigaku’s story exemplified the selfish, arrogant, and generally p awful parts of himself tht he more or less embraced? idk how to frame it but . i like how gotouge provides each of their characters that humanity, but allows each story to explore what that full range of humanity offers. instead of each moon being some tragic pity-villain stereotype , there are some that were genuinely good people with unfortunate circumstance while others (kaigaku) were just awful people who took advantage of those around them & sought demonhood as the opportunity to further their selfish desires. 

its cool !!! its so cool !! i love how you can pick any one character and just. dive down the rabbit hole & look at their motivations, goals, themes, etc. i feel like it introduces this sort of lore thats able to build on itself nd AAAA i love it soo much. i can never have enough dshfsdfksd

but back to you were saying , i totally agree. i love the opportunity to get to know these characters more and . actually feel emotion when learning about them. thts something i really enjoy in a story hehe . its great and all when you have a cool cast of protagonists but its so much better when the protags and antags can work w one another in deconstructing the binary of good and evil :3

IM SO TIED. AFTER THAT LAST CHAPTER I WANT GREEDY TO END CAUSE I NEED TO SEE IT ALL AND IM IMPATIENT BUT LIKE AT THE SAME TIME IM NOT READY. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING WRITER AND I LVOE YOUR WORLD BUILDING AND THE ROMANTIC TENSION YOU ADD. ❤️❤️❤️

hahahaha i feel you on this energy, anon.

as i’ve been mapping out the next chapter, I really think it’s going to wrap in one more go. it will be another long one, because there’s a lot to cover, but i think it makes the most sense this way.

thank you for the ALL CAPS LOVE and for being awesome in general 💕💕💕
