Imagine: Being Miles Morales’ best friend but also your a bit insane
•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_
🕷- Miles used to be so scared of you
🕷 - Even before you started a mutual friendship you sorta just…. kept appearing.
🕷 - He wasn’t sure when he became desensitised to you. but he likes to think his new double life of being a crime fighting upstart has given him a bit of a tolorence.
🕷 - Miles will now watch you eat an apple from the top down, core, stem and all, and literally not say anything.
🕷 - Your so consistently insane in such a harmless way, it’s kinda nice.
🕷 - He wishes you would stop picking up wild animals, though.
🕷 - Seriously stop. at least one of them will have a fatal disease.
🕷 - You keep venturing into the underground subway to play with the New York rats. Nothing bad has happened yet but that doesn’t mean nothing will.
🕷 - Don’t get me wrong. Miles isn’t overprotective or anything, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still worry. Your one of his closest friends.
🕷 - He’s not sure what he’d do without you.
🕷 - So please take the rat out of your jacket pocket. Please.
🕷 - Oh but it’s so cute!!
🕷 - You are Cinderella actually.
🕷 - Miles stumbles across you as his spider-sona surprisingly often.
🕷 - Not always when your doing something illegal, so he kinda forms this double friendship with you.
🕷 - It’s hard because he forgets your not supposed to know who he is!!
🕷 - He keeps forgetting to deepen his voice and act macho. You just make him relax so easily.
🕷 - I like to think His powers are particularly in tune with body language, even if he doesn’t mean or want to. And it can become so incredibly exhausting. all the extra information and interference is unrelenting unless he’s completely alone or has his headphones on.
🕷 - But you’re different. You let Everything rest on the surface. You say what you think, and miles found after a couple of months of knowing you that you’re actually more deep thinking then you like to let anyone realise.
🕷 - Your completely willing to sit in total silence with him. It’s so relaxing.
🕷 - The closer you both get the more he starts to see that you are actually a total sweetheart.
🕷 - You remember little things about him, your willing to go through great lengths for him. He knows that no matter where the both of you are or what your doing, you are ready to drop anything and everything to come to him if he needs you.
🕷 - He doesn’t demand it from you, but…
🕷 - You show up outside his dorm window at 3am all on your own ok?!
🕷 - He just mentioned he was having trouble sleeping!!! It’s not his fault!!! … but he’s not complaining either.
🕷 - So yeah, you put him at ease.
🕷 - Which is why it comes to no one’s surprise except miles when you bust him within the first two weeks.
🕷 - It scared the shit out of him. The next time you saw him as spider man you were like “Yo, Miles”.
🕷 - Y/N PLEASE.
🕷 - He asks you how you found him out, And you laugh and claim his mask made him look like he’s bad at Spanish. He socks you in the shoulder and you laugh harder.
🕷 - He then timidly asks if you’ve said anything to anyone.
🕷 - You tell him you don’t have deep enough conversations with anyone else TO tell.
🕷 - He understands what your trying to say.
🕷 - It’s actually a lovely little moment.
🕷 - As Spider-Man, he’s gotten to know an even crazier side to you. The fact that that was possible scared him a bit.
🕷 - Miles always wondered what you would get up to when he wasn’t around. You would disappear for hours, even days at a time. But you’d always come back.
🕷 - You were like an outdoor cat lmao.
🕷 - Turns out your a bit of an adrenaline junky.
🕷 - “Y/n this is a 7 story building and there’s no stairs how are you up here.”
🕷 - You liked feeding the pigeons… which was… yeah. Ok, fine.
🕷 - Miles wasn’t sure how his parents would react to you. He wasn’t ASHAMED but… Was he worried? Definetely.
🕷 - His dad is a COP.
🕷 - When He gets home from a couple hours of patrolling New York after school he has a heart attack when he sees you sitting on the couch nursing a drink while chatting to his mom.
🕷 - Your not fake, your still you. but you make a conscious decision not to pull out the rat in your pocket until you both head to his room to hang out.
🕷 - He’s much more emotional then he likes to make himself out to be. He’s still trying to figure himself out, He’s still only 14 after all.
🕷 - So hearing you drop deep emotional wisdom at 2 in the morning is a fucking EXPERIENCE.
🕷 - The deep conversations you have (and, now that he’s thinking about it the meaningless ones as well) feel like precious moments. They leave a lasting affect on him, your presence makes him feel safe.
🕷 - He’s not sure how to say all that out loud though.
🕷 - He doesn’t have to. you already know.
🕷 - His parents are happy to know that he’s made you as a friend. No matter how much or little they really know about you, anyone with eyes and two working ears can tell that your a good kid.
🕷 - You probably end up in the hospital a lot.
🕷 - Like a lot a lot. You are in so many wrong places at so many wrong times…
🕷 - An arm in a cast is considered a small case when it comes to you.
🕷 - Miles wonders how your still even alive this point!
🕷 - foreshadowing
🕷 - After you become more acquainted with miles’ family, you start getting visits from them!
🕷 - Especially If you don’t have any stable adult figures in your life.
🕷 - You get in a lot of accidents and fights. And it starts getting worrying. You don’t go looking for any trouble but you don’t let the criminal population of New York stop you from venturing out at night, either.
🕷 - In the waiting room Your all smiles and laughs. Nothing fazes you it seems, even under extreme amounts of pain. so it makes them relax a bit.
🕷 - But they are MUCH more willing to let you practically walk in and out of their house whenever you need a Homebase to fall back on.
🕷 - Mr. Davis does NOT enjoy getting called out late at night over a complaint of a homeless person loitering on a bench and it’s literally just you.
🕷 - What are you doing out here young lady/man/ster.
🕷 - Sorry sir I missed my bus
🕷 - But why were you sleeping outside!
🕷 - Eepy.
🕷 - Let them help you please you don’t have to do things on your own.
🕷 - You’ve only gotten lucky enough to be attacked a handful of times.
🕷 - But when the opportunity arises you are so ready.
🕷 - Remember how I said you were crazy in a harmless way? Forget I said that.
🕷 - Miles has literally watched you rip an old (albeit loose) stop sign out of the ground and beat a mugger over the head with it.
🕷 - He was not ready.
🕷 - You don’t even have any powers that he knows of. No super strength or healing. No heightened senses to protect you.
🕷 - Miles is in awe of you sometimes.
🕷 - he’s saved you from trouble a
Handful of times.
🕷 - you’ve literally got Spiderman looking out for you.
🕷 - If anything happens to you
He will freak the hell out.
🕷 - you might end up being room
-mates at his new school
🕷 - No matter how low he’s feeling he knows that you’ll find a way to make him smile.
🕷 - You find the craziest things to do, there’s no where you’re not willing to venture and there’s nothing your not willing to play with.
🕷 - Unfortunately Miles suffers from the terrible ailment of being a teenager 💔 (and also occasionally having terrible bouts of anxiety)
🕷 - often times he just feels so painfully uncool. He catches himself asking if he’s really cut out for this life. Not just about being the next Spider-Man, but also in the the-American-dream-is-not-real-and-I-don’t-have-a-future kind of way. He worries if he’s failing underneath the weight of his burdens. That he’s a loser.
🕷 - But you don’t let him feel that way when your around.
🕷 - You make him feel like he’s cool. You make him feel like he’s funny. like he’s the most interesting person in the world, your so unshakably and enthusiastically invested in him and his successes!
🕷 - You celebrate with him when he wins small fights. When he saves people. When he gets higher grades on exams.
🕷 - He doesn’t feel insecure standing next to you, even when your personality is as chaotic as it is.
🕷 - Miles isn’t sure sure how he got so lucky to have met you. He doesn’t realise you feel the same about him.

Wait wait wait, former LO reader here that's just been hearing about it through sources like you up until now—you're telling me that Kassandra conveniently giving the prophecy when she did (where Psyche and Eros could eavesdrop) was not, in fact, established as a repeat of a previously given one that still hadn't changed yet, which is what I assumed Apollo had to be verifying?
There are FOUR episodes featuring Kassandra.
Episode 226:
She's first established here and it's purely as a cliffhanger. Psyche steals a pen drive (and again, by "steals" I mean she picks up the pen drive that's been conveniently left on the ground behind Apollo) and she breaks into it with Hephaestus' help and finds the photo.
Episode 227:
For some reason, despite Hephaestus being able to delete Apollo's photos on HIS PHONE through PERSEPHONE'S SIM CARD, he can't track down Apollo's digital footprint or this mortal woman.
(I wanna mention btw how ironic and kinda sad it is that Rachel's trying to sound smart with this as if it's "impossible" for Hephaestus to track Apollo's digital footprint, when there are literally entire accounts that have managed to backup and preserve her old art that was posted across multiple alt accounts and aliases over the past 20 years. IDK that's just a place where my mind went with that lol)
Episode 252 (SEVEN MONTHS OF REAL LIFE TIME LATER):
(another anon mentioned how jank this pose is and yes, it's jank lol)
This meeting is very brief where she lore dumps her backstory of having prophecies no one believes, and yet despite this, Apollo believes her prophecy and immediately finds the plant that was just CONVENIENTLY blooming during the time frame that he learned of it. And yes, this is presumably the first time he's heard of this "prophecy".
"These things take time" and yet the time it took for Kassandra to conjure up this prophecy for him CONVENIENTLY lined up with when it needed to happen.
Episode 253:
She recounts this "prophecy" to Eros and Psyche (which isn't even really a prophecy, most of what she recounts is history and the "prophecy" is literally just the blooming cycle of a poisonous plant lmao it doesn't connect very well to the same "prophecy" that Ouranos recounts to Apollo later on in this same episode)
And then during that time, Apollo has already made the cupcake that goes on to poison Zeus before Eros and Psyche can get to them in time.
Now, one thing I want to mention that's really silly when it comes to the whole "convenience" thing. Not only did Apollo find out about this plant within the 12 hour window it was blooming, BUT Psyche happened to find the pen drive with Kassandra's information on it around the same time because she immediately goes to Eros and they proceed to track down Apollo and Kassandra. Psyche became a goddess ten years ago, but she CONVENIENTLY finds this pen drive (again, sitting on the ground behind Apollo) just days before this convenient 12 hour time window prophecy thing. And we know it's only a day or two at most because if you lay out the timeline of season 3, it literally takes place over the course of like, a week. Rachel literally hasn't learned a thing about pacing or planning out story events in the 5 years she's been working on this comic.
It's a big hot mess and this is why planning out your story is important.

Y'all know what's solarpunk? Or at least sustainable? A good sourdough starter. It requires flour, quite a bit of it to get started, but it's healthier for you, and you can use the discard after the initial start phase for all kinds of tasty things meaning no waste and less store bought pancakes, crackers, brownies, breads, etc.
Here's how you make a starter (disclaimer this is how i made it, I've noticed a lot of sourdough purists insisting u need to weigh everything every time you feed and you need a scale for all your recipes, etc i have done none of that and i don't have the energy for all that either)
You need:
Flour, i use unbleached but that's because i had a bag lying around i used for vegan cookies as a gift and i heard it works for starters, Harold (my starter) seems to like it so why change, but I've heard of people using literally any kind of flour
Water, enough to mix into a thick pancake batter consistency
If you feel weird wasting flour you can try the quarantiny starter idea from king Arthur's flour which uses only a tablespoon of flour and some water until it's active and then you bulk it up when you want to bake with it.
You're going to want to add your flour and water and mix until it's a thick pancake batter consistency, i started with a half cup of flour but i left on vacation and my grandma accidentally bulked it up so now it's up to like a cup.
Every 24 hours (not exact measurement and some people swear by feeding it every 12, i do 24 but it varies by person and starter) you are going to want to toss half (in the garbage at this stage) and mix in about the same amount of flour as the mixture you just tossed (ex. You estimate you tossed half cup of starter, add half cup of flour to remainder in jar) add enough water til you reach consistency. I've gotten told this doesn't work but my starter is happy and thriving so I'm sticking with it.
Once your starter is active and consistently doubling within 8 hours after feeding (you will notice it does this in the first few days, that's Bad Yeast do not use. Your starter will hit a slump and then come back to rising, that's good yeast. I recommend putting a rubber band or hair tie where it is after u feed so u can monitor rise easier) experts recommend waiting ten days from initial starter start date to use it, i waited three weeks. Toss all starter at feeding during this time.
ONCE UR STARTER IS ACTIVE then u can save all the stuff u were tossing in a jar in the fridge (i use an old spaghetti sauce jar, and my starter is also in a big olive jar lmao) and use it in recipes that doesn't require yeast, this is sourdough discard and you can find a ton of recipes online for it.
If you want to use it to bake bread, you will use it when it's at its peak rise area, usually double what it was when you feed it. This is the yeast being all active and happy which will rise your bread. I recommend this recipe for beginners:
I reduced the salt to 1 tsp and added probably around a cup and a half of whole wheat flour, i had it lying around and why not. Changes will depend on your elevation and what works for you, it's not a science which is why no recipe will work for literally everybody. Almost everybody's first sourdough bread will fail one way or another but 98% of the time it's still edible and you learn!!!
Feel free to ask questions :)
Edit: forgot to mention that you should keep your jar covered, but don't screw the lid on, i just use the flat part of a canning lid placed on top

thank u 4 ur post on sanekanae LMAO. its so painful as an author when ppl misinterpret and read over his character, and assume he had romantic feelings… when it’s stated he saw his mother in her?? .. ppl jst have to romanticise every chick and dude within a shared vicinity.
also he’s dull at romance so!
That's what I was thinking, too — it's stated he sees his mother in her so it's obvious he only may have liked her in a 'motherly' light (like how Inosuke sees Nezuko/Shinobu). Otherwise, there's less than one handful of interactions we see with Sanemi and Kanae.
My first problem is that Sanemi and Kanae barely knew each other. Kanae died at seventeen which means she died a few weeks after meeting/knowing Sanemi, and from the wind pillar light novels, they interact twice (and both times Sanemi mentions she reminds him of his mother). So, I think even if Sanemi 'liked talking to Kanae' (per Gyomei's words) he didn't know her for very long.
My second problem is that the entire idea of Sanekana is that it entirely goes against Sanemi's writing for a number of reasons:
Sanemi is in the Corps for one reason and one reason only: to protect Genya. He has selflessly devoted himself to protecting his little brother for his entire life 'till death', so that Genya could do things like getting married and having children (something that Sanemi NEVER saw for himself at this point, mind you).
Sanemi's character is also heavily self-sacrifical as he inflicts a punishment upon himself by distancing himself from Genya.
Sanemi, who knows somewhere in his heart that he's doing wrong to Genya, would not get close to someone else (especially romantically) since he believes it would be selfish and hypocritical. He also wouldn't want to get sidetracked from his 'goal'.
I also believe Sanemi would feel guilt over being friends with Masachika since he's abandoned Genya.
Due to these reasons, I think Sanemi would never romantically like anyone in the first place, and even if he did, he's rather dull with romance.
My personal belief is that Sanemi is probably a whole ass raging virgin man too since it fits in with his character and morals, and he just couldn't let someone get that close to him (touch, love, sex would scare the shit out of him; he needs to be with someone he trusts very dearly for even a damn kiss on the cheek).
That aside, the real reason I don't like Sanekanae is because of Kanae herself.
Kanae has terrible writing. Quite literally the worst writing, and with the writing she has, she does NOT fit Sanemi at all. Her entire character writing is contradictory as she's only there for Shinobu's story — Sanekanae was an afterthought the author might've had because it doesn't even fit inside the narrative at all.
Kanae is also a huge fake to me. She comes off as one of those people that say they're 'so sweet and lovely' but are genuinely rather cold/stern. Even that stupid fucking advice she gave Kanao just made her seem like a brainless anime girl to me. Kanae is one of those characters that are made to fit a character's backstory hence her personality changes every two fucking seconds (trying to make her seem easygoing with that god-awful coin and boy advice she gave to a very abused Kanao; in her dying moments, discouraging Shinobu from continuing with the Corps; when she first meets Sanemi, she doesn't come off as 'sweet' she just comes off as easily irritable and indifferent; then when she appears in Shinobu's head during the Douma fight, she just gives some generic words).
I also don't think Kanae even liked Sanemi LMAO.
(I have more to say but I'm genuinely raging just thinking about this ship and her. The author of demon slayer does NOT know how to pair people together.)

yeah me too! my friends and I actually do have some plans of streaming together, so that should be fun... if we ever stop procrastinating 😆
a whole week?? wow that's some top notch commitment 👏
props to you guys lmaoo
I hope to see the fnaf movie soon, but the 5 of us can't settle on a date so it's tricky :/
hopefully soon we can actually watch it tho lol
unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a romance mod for Mr. qi yet 😕 😞
im half tempted to attempt making my own, but I dropped coding agess ago lmao.. don't know where I'd start 😅
altho I think if i were to make one, he'd not move in w the farmer. idk he just doesn't seem the type. he's got the vibes of rich hubby on vacation who sends you stuff.. that might just be me tho lol
speaking of, may I request nsfw mr. qi headcanons with an ftm! reader?
tysm :]
-🔮
A/N:omfg? Idk how I didn’t see this until now I’m no sorry! I hope you’ve gotten to see the movie by now especially with how many spoilers are on EVERY app. If you ever do make the mod let me know! I wanted to get back into coding but then remembered that I actually hated it so unfortunately I can’t. I do wanna try to make a game in itch.io(is that the website for the games?) that is the choose your own adventure fic that I’m writing but I don’t know how i would even do it. Also agree with the rich hubby thing. I don’t think he would ever actually settle down ANYWHERE. like he’d be home like 2 days out of the week at most.
Tw:Sexual content! Cursing
ALSO idk if this should go under warnings, but I would also like to say that I am not trans myself, so if I write something that’s inaccurate or offensive make sure to let me know, I’m trying my best to write from that pov I just wanted to….warn? Let you know? Like I do not mind writing this at all(no transphobes allowed) I just want to make sure that I’m writing/understanding well!!
Wc: 30 bullet points
Sdv Masterlist
Also fucking and making love are two DIFFERENT things
I 100 percent believe that gender identity doesn’t matter to Mr.Qi at ALL.
I also think he doesn’t care about bottom/top surgery at ALL
Like he is a fan of mystery, of the unknown that’s what he likes, and he likes people that also have those interests, or people that make him interested in a similar way.
(I think he would be pansexual? Demisexual?)
So in his mind he knows that you have nothing to worry about. He also knows that emotions don’t follow logic half of the time and that your nerves can’t be dispelled just by him saying that you have nothing to worry about.
So he shows you.
Depending on if you’re a romantic/sentimental person or not he does different things
Like would set up and entire display with roses and everything, music playing and snacks to make you feel loved and comfortable
but if you’re not the type of person to like that sort of thing he would probably do something more chaotic like a scavenger hunt for you throughout the day(which arguably could be seen as more romantic) that leads you on a wild goose chase and allows him to set something up at home(your home but like whatever)
Making love to him is very sweet. He tries to keep the teasing to a minimum
By minimum I mean he only teases in the beginning, and not how he usually would. Would probably edge you for a little just to make your first orgasm mind blowing then would get on with it.
He does slow his pace down for love making because it’s more…spiritual(?) like it’s an exchange of love and it’s not only for pleasure y’know. It’s literally to express how you feel for each other.
NOW FUCKING IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING
I do think he would be on the more dominant side, preferring to tease and take control, coaxing out things you didn’t know you had within you
Will let you take control though
He is a man of curiosity
Wonders how you will behave when given a dominant position
Doesn’t refuse anything you want to do, but is mischievous the entire time. Has a stupid smirk on his face that makes you think that you have absolutely no control.
Idk if it’s magic or what but always does SOMETHING to make everything more sensitive.
Is VERY into blindfolding
Wants genuine reactions without self consciousness getting in the way.
Good/smart/naughty boy are a part of his vernacular and he will use it only when you’re too fucked out to react to him saying it in any other way than incoherent whining.
Probably into shibari and likes to be tied up and tying you up.
Blindfolds + shibari is a normal night ngl.
The glasses stay on during sex idc
He makes sure by the end of it that both of you are sweaty and out of breath
Likes having sex in different locations with a tiny bit of risk. Like he doesn’t want the two of you to get caught
But he wonders what would happen if you did…
The sexual experience with him is always a good one somehow even when he wants to try out weird kinks.

hi
hello internet strangers want to hear about my personal life as per usual
well as those familiar w my lore know my title ix case (us-specific college thing where, tldr, if u get sexually assaulted u can do a little mini court case thru ur school) is finally fucking over + i won . which is awesome. unfortunately the respondent (title ix word for "person who did the assaulting") got preeeetty much no sanctions at all . like literally nothing changed . the lawyer recommended they be moved to the other dorm hall but they couldnt, so basically they got put on probation and that's it. Lmao. which means my situation is WORSE than before i filed the complaint, bc b4 i filed the complaint they were in the other dorm hall, and then they moved to mine. but i can't do shit about it unless i want to take my school to, like, court.
well anyway the respondent's life changed in no meaningful way Except they moved out of the dorms last month by their own choice. i assumed that meant they were embarassed abt what they did But i guess not. Bc they've been getting really into on campus events and hanging out in the central building that i like to hang out at. and its like. okay. whatever.
but the thing is . theyve been going to a lot of queer-centric events recently . and while im the only person whos filed a complaint or won a case against them. i am not the only victim i know that for a fact and the other victim is also a queer person. So can you see why im worried about someone who managed to sexually assault two queer people within the first week of living on campus like, integrating themself into the community like nothing fucking happened
and theres this school dance coming up in a couple weeks and im worried that will give them an opportunity to like. hurt someone else.
and i want people to KNow what they did because i dont feel safe with them on campus anyway but i especially dont feel safe now theyre talking to people and making friends (especially bc most of their friends r like. friends of friends. like i dont know them but i know of them yk) . i dont know what theyre saying about me (if anything) and i especially dont know if theyve hurt anyone else. and they might have! because they demonstrated a frankly dangerous lack of regard for consent repeatedly Like i think this is a genuinely dangerous person, whether by malice or stupidity or both, and i dont want anyone else to get hurt
BUT THE KICKER IS...! well first of all we're bound by a no-contact order (baby version of a restraining order). you cant be in the same classes and you cant talk to each other (irl, online, or thru a 3rd person) the title ix coordinator has provided jack shit about what a no contact order actually entails btw lol 😒. But if i were to tell someone and they went and told that person, idk if that would be considered 3rd party contact, which would get Me in trouble
i also dont know if it would be considered "breaking confidentiality" if i said their name- again, don't know jack shit, don't have documentation of the actual rules i'm supposed to be following. but i really dont feel like this is a safe situation for this person to be on campus with no one knowing what they did
im also just generally worried about them finding out ive told people and getting mad and going to the coordinator and me getting in trouble when the only reason im even considering this is bc, again, the school didnt do jack shit
and i dont even know How i would tell aynone . like im not rly friends with most of these people . i see them around and some of them i think are cool but theyre not friends or really even aquaintences . so it would be fucking weird .
but i dont know what to do and i dont want anyone else to get hurt . and i know thats not on Me, but. i also dont want to sit back and Know. and not say anytthing
#text#sa tw#neg#i really dont know what to do here#and it's so frustrating bc imo i shouldnt have to do anything bc they shouldnt be on campus at all but WHAT EVERRR#🗒️

I literally left a discord group that I had been in for like, a week because that's what they called N!Alucard. Also because they wouldn't let me talk about LoS, only about NFCV.
I remember liking many of the fanart and fanfiction when it was just the first two seasons, and like a little bit with season three, but yeah, I noticed that as well in just about every fanfic I read. I tried to reread a lot of those fics and man, so many of them only focused on N!Alucard's trauma, and almost never any on Trey's, and it just got so boring after awhile.
But you're right. Celiakardo, from what I've seen of it, seems like a ship that I could get down with, but N!Trevphacard (I don't actually remember the ship name) just has a huge dynamic imbalance that overshadows what would've made the ship at least decent. And this is coming from someone who literally ships the entity within the castle of LoS with Gabriel. Honestly, N!Syphacard seems like a better ship than any with Trey in it.
(I ship N!Trevor with happiness and emotional stability)
Lmao noooo💀. But srsly,if a group or server is gonna focus exclusively on nfcv then they should've added that as a disclaimer, otherwise its just rude of them to not let you talk (and yes ik that the fandom in general has a hostile past w LoS too).
And yea, the fandom flanderized both n!Alu and Trey into the pwoor sad sexyman who has fat tiddies n cries, and into funny stinky drunky trauma-y man who is dumb and has sex w the sexyman respectively.
And the thing is that, you can have an unhealthy ship w a power imbalance! But you just gotta be aware that there is an imbalance there and were all that happening irl it would be a problem (even my beloved maleon ship is has its unhealthy elements. Leon bestie ilu but that mans is trouble). If there is no awareness of those elements it can come off as if they're being brushed under the rug or as if there's no actual unhealthy situation to begin with, which is hmmm :/. Ofc im not saying all ships must have a problematique disclaimer nor that all trephacard shippers are onboard w insulting your partner's murdered family, just that if there's no awareness of all that i find it uncomfortable.
And its funny you mention syphacard bc precusely one of the fics i vaguely remember was uhh, Sypha n Alu getting together while Trey anguished over it (iirc it was partially bc he hit or yelled at Sypha while drunk. Idk i do like that it addresses that alcoholism is not all funni silly jokes and it has devastating consequences both for the person and their loved ones but it also felt a bit mean to dump all the wrongdoings caused by Trey's poorly healed traum in front of him while n!Alu is the nice bf here despite his Behaviour. Im going here by memory tho so) and like Trey. Treyey. My buddy pal. Ik most bitches in a 10 mile radius want to lynch you but srsly dont simp like that you're better on your own
#anti netflixvania#netflixvania rants#me answers#you cant just tactlessly make Alu an unlikable asshole like that it only works on his Arikado era after hes been on the blender for 600yrs#alsooo im a bit sleepy so apologies if im not making much sense here#and yea reminder im generalizing here and all that. dont mean to insult nfcv fans just complaining abt general fandom#ALSO#JOIN THE CELIAKADO NATION NOW#(jk jk)

20 questions for fic writers
ahhh thank you so much for all the tags to @cha-melodius @myheartalivewrites @daisymae-12 @read-and-write- @indomitable-love @happiness-of-the-pursuit and @cultofsappho!! <3 I've been reading through all of your posts at work and I can finally respond!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
19 (with one of them being fanart)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
62,441!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Red white and royal blue
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Déjame Ver Cómo Es Que Floreces
Solo Déjame Estar Junto a Ti
Isn't She Lovely
Whataburger, Whatanight (this one surprised me lmao)
the sadness you carry, it hangs like a ghost
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! I used to get back within two days but with the boom of readers it turned more into a week because it got a bit overwhelming, but things seem to have slowed down in my stats and I'm hoping to go back to my usual response time! I love engaging with everyone that comments and have had the most lovely interactions <333
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably the sadness you carry, it hangs like a ghost because it literally ends right before Henry has his panic attack with Alex in the car
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think every other fic has a happy ending, but I make people cry with Dejame Ver the most! I wanna tally them up someday - get a percentage of that and the comments that I get in Spanish lol
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No *knocks on wood*
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No. Have written a scene in a WIP that's sitting dormant but am very self-conscious about it in general
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No crossovers!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No. I daydream about translating Dejame Ver but my Spanish is more conversational (LMAO I literally got into the funniest argument with a cashier on what escabeche meant yesterday so I would also have to unpack my regionalisms lol). I'd like to expand my vocab, especially through literature, if I ever took that on
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. I think my writing process would drive a co-author nuts lmao
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Firstprince
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i have one that I've never mentioned that's a big canon divergence that makes it so alex and henry have even more beef but it's a slow burn and would basically have to be novel length. My attention has since wandered to shorter ideas, but it's one I'd like to share someday even if it means chopping it up
16. What are your writing strengths?
I feel like I'm pretty good at writing friendships and how characters play off each other in banter. I am pretty proud of my dialogue! And I think my writing (when it's not angst) has a very welcoming and homey feeling.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I feel like my writing can be very literal and I could stop and smell the roses more when describing things haha I can click into that mode sometimes but other times I don't have the patience to be super descriptive. I think this also translates into pacing - just wanna get the show on the road lol
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
hehehehehe (love it)
I'm hoping to figure out footnotes for my next fic especially bc there's a lot of Aztec words/concepts that are niche and I don't want to pull readers out of the fic too much when they'd have to google things
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Either Twilight or Maximum Ride
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Dejame Ver is a pride and joy, and readers' reactions to it still make me all soft and mushyyyy. I've gotten a tiny bit jaded about it bc my family is now a shitshow BUT I try not to let that ruin it for me!
Witchy WIP is gonna be right up there because I feel like it is just an explosion of my creativity!!! I truly went fucking nuts writing it
Tagging @sherryvalli @kiwiana-writes @suseagull04 @cricketnationrise @historicallysam @xthelastknownsurvivorx and anyone else that would like to share more about themselves!

1, 5, 23!
1. What is the best compliment you've gotten on any of your works?
in terms of single comments, i had this one work in my non-tennis ao3 where someone wrote paragraphs about how i captured the essence of the og work and that my fic reminded them of everything they loved abt it in the first place. and like god that floored me. the comment itself was so poetic too and had come almost two years after i’d posted the fic. so just yeah. wow.
but in general, any time anyone says they reread my fic? that hits me sooooo hard every time. like the idea that someone resonated with my work enough to go back to it and then tell me that. it’s amazing yknow
5. What is your go-to way to deal with writers block?
literally just fucking avoid my own docs im so serious. i mean this is horrible and has, on one memorable occasion, led to me shelving a work for two and a half years before finishing it. idk i am very bad at pushing myself to work through writers block unless i have a big goal. like yall heard me bitching and moaning abt finishing my latest fic but i was only able to do that because i really reallyyyyy wanted to get it out before rg lmao
but! whenever i do push myself to get past writers block i usually do two things. 1.) put my phone away or on the forest app that penalizes you for opening apps lmao. and 2.) blast background noise on my headphones, usually from the mynoise website which has a lot of natural/unnatural sounds to use! it helps me concentrate cause otherwise i get too distracted by my phone or my surroundings
23. Is there a project you want to talk about?
well im working on something that will probably be posted within the next 1-2 weeks! it is, as ive mentioned a few times in random posts, not my usual thing tho. by which i mean: this is just angst. like oh my god. the emotional whiplash of having posted my crack fic and now writing this sad shit is wild

For me it’s very similar to the other anon. I’m turning 25 this year and I’ve still not got my bachelors degree because I had to quit my first go around at uni since i physically couldn’t learn for my exams. Granted it was compounded by other issues such as depression and anxiety but i genuinely believe that a not insignificant part of those issues come from the fact that adhd makes it near impossible to organise myself (unmedicated btw).
Seeing this on my feed rn is kind of ironic since even though im in my third year of a degree that I actually enjoy now, I literally dropped out of an exam that I was supposed to write today cuz I couldn’t revise. It’s not like I didn’t have the time and I’ve known for weeks about the deadline, but with every assignment or exam I push my own boundaries further and further back until I can’t do it anymore. Last semester I crammed 84 pages worth of notes in under 48h, an exam mind you that I’d pushed back over a year and was literally my last shot or I’d not be allowed to continue with my studies. I barely slept, I was throwing up, but I somehow passed, and with a good grade at that. Since then my brain is like, well you managed to do that that one time so you can totally afford to wait until the DAY before an exam to finish it. Or write a 15 page paper in a day.
And you know what, maybe I can. But the problem is the cost. It’s killing me. I find that it’s also very isolating cuz generally people don’t have a lot of empathy for this? So I end up pulling back from everyone including my best friends until I’m at a point again where I can be around people without letting on how incredibly bad I’m doing. Or I just straight up lie so they don’t know that I’ve not done the things i said I would do.
And all this is not just within the framework of academia. It’s also impacted my wellbeing in a more general sense - cooking for myself is hard because I tend to not listen to my body’s cues until I’m on the verge of passing out cuz i forgot to eat or drink, or by the time I’m hungry I still have to make a meal so I end up ordering something cuz it’s faster. Same with showering daily or brushing your teeth. Getting any routine started in general and sticking with it. I’ve been meaning to start exercising again but I keep delaying it for no reason. I’ve worked out regularly in the past so I know it’s something that I enjoy and that makes me feel good but despite that I’m still stuck in this place of inertia? It’s awful.
I’ve talked to some friends who also have adhd about it and the inability to start something cuz it isn’t instantly gratifying or that doesn’t align with an interest but is an obligation is quite common. Can I binge 7 seasons of a reality show in a week if it really interests me? Hell yeah! (I do watch everything at 2x speed cuz everyone talks too slow lmao but still). Will i fly through a massive book and literally forego sleeping if it means getting through more of it if im really invested? Absolutely. 1500 puzzle? Massive Lego set? Yep! Taking notes from a textbook for an assignment? Literally kill me right now.
I’m sorry for this long ass message and idek if you’re gonna read all of this but yeah just wanted to share my experience. Adhd is absolutely not quirky or a superpower and I wish there was a better understanding of it out there because it makes me my own worst enemy every day.
Ugh anon i feel you so much. I have skipped on many an exam during my bachelors because i just couldn't concentrate, focus or start revision. It's completely miserable to literally see the time go by where you feel the stress but you just cannot get your brain to start on what you need to do.
Any time i told teachers and now colleagues that i work well with deadlines i get told i'm not motivated enough because if i was i wouldn't need deadlines. That's just so unfair! My brain is graving dopamine, it's not laziness that my brain does this, it's literally just ADHD.
This is the same reason why your brain (usually) jumps into action when that crippling anxiety hits, because you're so close to a deadline that your brain can smell the dopamine.
The only reason that i finished my 6 month thesis is because i had many mini deadlines during those 6 months. I felt the anxiety to finish a part of it every month and i had a teacher who was very nice and gave you compliments when you did (DOPAMINE). If i didn't have that i would still be writing my thesis now.
ADHD is so misunderstood by so many people. It affects every part of your life and the negative consequences are so much bigger and impactful than the potential positive outcomes. I mean yeah i'm creative and can think fast, awesome but that doesn't make up for the anxiety, stress and grief you go through anytime your brain just doesn't want to start something.

Context: my complaining that my have-always-been-loved dogs are complete weenies for nails STILL after two years of counter conditioning but the traumatized temporary terrier houseguest who started off by screaming like a banshee is now a perfect gentleman for nails under the same protocol of treats and love and cuddles for like a month and a half 🙄
But yes I think both thoughts are correct, honestly. Evander is made of stronger stuff than Sushi or the chihuahuas, but he has known trauma and deep mental scars that make him question whether he should be brave and confident in a situation. He's a terrier, he wants to be a terrier, he wants to be tough as nails and mostly is an ornery bastard. However if something reminds him of the trauma he went through he goes soft as melted butter with the appeasement signals and conflict avoidance. Now that he's not literally aggressively defending himself, the dog underneath all that bluster is truely just a dog that should be strong that had his spirit broken by too harsh a hand.
The girls, on the other hand, are much more delicate. They are confident in their everyday lives, but Sushi's constant state is soft as melted butter and the chihuahuas only get bits and pieces of that terrier butthead temperament. Sushi has no conflict avoidance because Sushi does not know what conflict is lmao she's a pushover and a bit of a doormat but she takes everything in stride and even when something challenges her confidence (scary doctor stabbed me with a needle 😩 the trash can has Moved from its spot and that's suspicious 😩 why does the little dog bark at me so 😩) she recovers quickly and returns to soliciting pets and melting.
So it stands to reason that the dog that actively wants to meet a challenge headon and grins at the oppurtunity to do so is capable of recognizing that the dremel means incoming treats and thus relaxes and curiously watches as I do his feet (helps that he has one less foot to trim than the others...) and meanwhile my dogs that don't really want to think within a conflict-based system feel the conflict of "unlimited yummy treats but also Sensory Bad on my feet" and really don't enjoy their time. They don't screech or thrash like Evander did initially, but they're stiff and leaning away and still sometimes try to pull their feet from my grip, which tells me they might tolerate it but they certainly aren't having fun.
On the other hand, there is also some truth to challenging dogs to make them stronger in their confidence, as that's at least 30% of protection training lmao. Not that I recommend traumatizing dogs in order to raise their confidence, just that IF you can get a dog over that hump often times you'll see the confidence skyrocket because they understand that things aren't as bad as That Bad Memory. I saw this all the time with my fearful clients, with dogs that hid under the chair/behind their owners the first class or two. By the end of the full 18 week schedule generally speaking that dog had switched gears and become a bully, and needed to be taught instead how to temper their newfound confidence so they didn't steamroll anyone else.

i would gladly listen to any information about tao that you're willing to share actually. she seems like the character of all time
whoever this is i love you and also youve just released something ungodly within me i actually just sat down and scribbled together some sort of reference sheet for her LMFAOO. imagine this design but even more danganronpa-ified you get it
none of this makes any sense if you dont know what fic im talking about just as a warning!!!!!!!!
also just a warning i am talking about her execution here so if youre not chill with death and violence and disturbing shit and all that please dont continue!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
anyways time to be normal about her. her full name is tao uyemura she's the ultimate miner :) she practically grew up in a mine due to her father's work and the crew she was always with pretty quickly realised "oh hey we can't fit in these small openings...... but you know who CAN 🤔" so they let her tag along even though they absolutely should not have let a little girl in the mines. later she grew a whole lot and essentially became one of the best miners in her field, extremely knowledgable about minerals and caves, as well as remarkably agile and able to manoeuvre herself in tough spots. it is however during this period where she grew remarkably tough due to a personal loss and also people just generally kind of being assholes towards her lmao so her solution was to Be Mean and Return to the Mines. she's honest to a comical level, takes things very literally, has this very deep voice that usually never gets raised above speaking volume because she doesn't need to yell to be intimidating she just IS.
in the first season she appeared in she was a secondary antagonist/survivor and she clashed with the protagonist/love interest a LOT, would constantly attempt to make the love interest see her side of things and stop trusting the protag with his hope spiels, would keep bits of evidence to herself so she always had something over the group and couldn't be killed unless they wanted to lose that evidence as well, etc. and it wasnt even the protag who managed to convince her to soften a little bit lol it was another unnamed character whose death severely impacted tao in a way that made her change her mind on the whole "trust nobody think for yourself" mentality. i dont have much on this season just because it's relatively unimportant to her story and also at that point team dr was just recycling a bunch of old tropes so she wasnt really considered groundbreaking to any of the audience lmfao
she wakes up from the danganronpa simulator pissed as hell for herself and for her friends, is extremely outspoken the entire time, makes multiple attempts at publicly making team dr's atrocities known, and eventually joins a team of people who were attempting to break out of the hospital they were in. unfortunately shit happened and she got caught about two weeks later 😔😔😔😔
the SECOND season she appeared it was brutal as hell for her because at this point it was basically a punishment. because there were a few other people from her season who were similarly being punished (ultimate motivational speaker, ultimate archer, both of whom died last season), danganronpa essentially had to backtrack and say that the first season tao was in was virtual reality in canon which explains why these dead people are alive again lmfao. tao is still comically blunt and not very willing to open up to strangers, but she is extremely loyal to the people she does put trust in and believes that being respectable is better than being kind. she's the second blackened of the game after one of her closest friends (an ultimate jeweller, they bonded over their lines of work!! the jeweller also reminded tao of that one unnamed character whose death impacted her last season so she gravitates towards the jeweller a bit more than the others) accidentally fatally struck another classmate. tao basically finished them off while the jeweller was running to get people bc damn it tao isnt gonna let her friend get executed for some stupid ass reason again !!!!!!!! but uhhhhhhhhhh team dr wasnt taking any hits with her execution 😧 idk if you think about cave diving as much as i do but god damn that shit is scary and that is essentially the basis of her execution, she's shown an "exit" that is through these old mines so she starts making her way through the cave system. the tunnels get smaller and smaller and as soon as she realises that its only going to get smaller from here it's way too late for her as it's become so narrow that she literally can't turn around anymore, until eventually she makes it to a particularly narrow tunnel where her foot gets stuck and she's essentially just hung upside down for literal days until they grew sick of her hanging there crying and filled the cave system with concrete. Lol! 😀👍🏻
#this is the first time ive put literally any of this into words so sorry if it makes zero sense#but thank you very much for asking >:)))#anonymous#ask lee#lee art#oc: tao

busmates.
a seungkwan fanific......
wc: 1k ish
genre: romance,drama,comedy(i'll try)
chapter-1
11th grade. the most special year of my entire life.
I was a typical extroverted teenager. Actually, to be accurate I was an ambivert, and for those who don't know what that means, well it's "a person who has a balance of extrovert and introvert features in their personality" according to google. I basically change personalities from person to person. I usually call myself an extrovert though because the extroverted percentage on mbti test was 15% higher skfjsgdjsk.
Anyways i transferred to a new school this year, so i obviously had to make some friends. And making friends in my class wasn't really hard, as a matter of fact i had actually made a small friend group within a week. It was so exciting.
I was actually really talkative ever since but for some reason, i never said a word in the school bus. I had one friend there who was my classmate and let me tell you she was REALLY popular in the bus. I mean she had been travelling through the school bus for like 9 years now ?
Well, we became friends because we were classmates and she was overall really nice. Yujin. Her name was Yujin. How cute!?
So, if anyone has ever experienced traveling in a school bus you will know that there is this unsaid rule that the oldest people sit at the last seat. Well, i was one of the oldest but i was too reserved (in the bus) to actually go and sit there. Yujin and her friend along with 3 other seniors used to sit there. It was like their permanent seat. So i never really got a chance to sit there. And honestly back then I never really gave a fuck about any of my bus mates so neither was i friends with anyone nor did i know anyone.
FAST FORWARD 2 WEEKS
I was the first one to board the bus along with Yujin and she asked me to sit on the last seat with her and her friend Minyoung. I just stood there numb and said "Wouldn't that be so awkward? Don't the seniors sit here? I mean I don't mind sitting here but I don't want to fight with anyone because of a stupid seat and that also on my third week."
Yujin slightly chuckled and assured me that all the seniors were really nice which didn't really calm me down but I did end up sitting there anyway. A few minutes later other students started coming in and then the seniors.
As I mentioned before there were 3 seniors. Two of the same sat beside me and then came in the one whose seat I was sitting on. It was getting so awkward...so many things were happening at once. Ughhhhh.
Firstly, the last seat is mostly a five-seater and I was sitting in the exact center jdjsjsjdiwksjk. second, people were literally fighting over the seat beside me because someone threw someone's bag and just stupid stuff. and third, that senior stared at me for like 10 seconds. I wanted to die. I genuinely thought he was gonna pick a fight with me but that guy just looked at me and sat down on the second last seat??? bro????? on one hand i was relieved that there were no fights but on the second hand it was so weird sitting there. Also that motherfucker was the prettiest human being alive. I didn't even know his name or anything about him but he was hella attractive.
I was really awkward on the way back home and so to avoid the awkwardness I started reading a novel which I carry every day to avoid situations like these. To my luck, I have the third stop so I got off quickly and after that day I just promised myself not to sit there because it just didn't feel right.
Eventually, after a few days, I got the second last seat as my permanent reserved seat lmao. That was the time I actually started noticing my bus mates.
I got to know the names of all the three seniors including the attractive one. His name was Seungkwan. The other seniors were Chan and Jeonghan. All of them seemed like really good friends. Chan and Jeonghan seemed very quiet though but Seungkwan on the other hand. oh my gosh. He was so talkative. He used to joke around a lot with the 7th and 8th graders. It was so cute. I could often hear them making sex jokes which were honestly kinda funny. He was also so fucking tall. oh lord.
Back in my class, Yujin and I were paired up to do a French project together. So during the free period, both of us were busy completing the same when someone walked in to call out some of classmates for a football match. And there he was again, the hot senior. He looked so hot at that moment. I literally just blankly stared at him for a solid 30 seconds when I snapped back to reality because of Yujin screaming at me for almost knocking down the entire bottle of glue.
Being this pretty should be illegal honestly. I literally couldn't think of anything else from the moment he left. I wanted to talk to him so bad. I just wanted to interact with him. Remember how I mentioned how I changed personalities from person to person. Let me tell you he was one of the few people I was really introverted too.
================================================================================================
hi ????? so this is my first post. I don't really know how tumblr works so please don't come @ me lmao. Also English is not my first language so if there is anything you'd like to correct feel free to comment or dm <3

Can you tell me about your thesis!!!! It sounds wonderful and as a fellow horror academic I'd love to read it :)
oh hey wow yeah I'll try telling you abt it a bit! Let me preface this by saying Unfortunately I can't let you read it bc when I wrote it I ended up deciding to write it in german so I only have the asbtract in english Somewhere rip but!
Basically I wrote my thesis within 2 weeks including most research so it isn't all that good but it was about trying to identify common design features in iconic non-human but humanoid horror antagonists (the focus on design is due to my bachelor's degree Officially being in 3D art/animation) and the scope was waaay off and the examples I picked were bad picks for comparing them but I Did base those picks on this (link) (which i think is a great base for lots of other possible topics) as well as pretty much arbitrary parameters I personally additionally chose.
I ended up using Frankenstein's Monster (1931 version), Dracula (1931 version as well), Regan from The Exorcist, Freddy Kruger (first movie only) and last and definitely least, the bastard that ruined literally all my data by being DISTINCTLY less humanoid than the others, the titular Alien (1979). I wanna stress tho that i purposefully picked my parameters to be able to include the alien because i love Alien but that was just a stupid decision on my part it turned out.
The most interesting thing I ended up noticing was that a lot of them just Do Not Have Eyebrows (excluding dracula who obviously as a monster has a very different purpose because he acts as a seducer which is different from what Frankenstein's Monster/Regan/etc are entirely because again I didn't pick good examples at all) which I attribute to the overall trend of them in general having features that could be read as ill or injured in one way or another. And for this Interestingly the alien also sorta follows that pattern in that its design features protruding bones which we also commonly associate with illness. But yeah that all falls into the very much known about issue of conflating illness/disability/"ugliness" in the broadest sense (I don't personally want to call any of their features categorically ugly, I mean ugliness in the sense of what society as a whole treats as beautiful vs not beautiful) with being bad/evil.
Anyway I know where I fucked up with my thesis and if I could do it over I'd stick to a better defined category of villain and probably a specific subgenre of horror as mixing it the way I did turned out to be not great unfortunately.. Or at least I'd like to compile archetypes before crosscomparing types/subgenres because Obviously most iconic designs will also have features that make them stand out and thus not entirely representative of their archetype and blah blah blah But fortunately I'm gonna get to write more on horror for uni in the next few years so I can fix my mistakes at some point.
sorry this isn't super eloquent or interesting lmao I didn't expect to be asked about this (though genuinely thank you so much for being interested! i just really did Not expect it!) and I had a long-ish uni day today
All that being said though, I'd love to hear what you've been doing in the field of horror academics?

Hello! I love your CAS designs of your IT Lives series and if you have MCs for you, is it okay if I ask about them? ( I hope that's okay to ask! )
Hi! ❤️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! And of course, I'm happy to talk about my MCs! I've actually thought of making them as sims and dropping them in a sim dump this week!
This will be kind of long and have spoilers for ILITW, ILB, and vague spoilers for ILW so I'm going to put my answers under a read more cut!
In It Lives in the Woods I played as Devon Liu - I actually wanted to romance Noah Marshall my first playthrough because I loved their dynamic and was very shocked by the ending "twist" lmao. Devon had the long black hair that was shaved on one side. I used the "Asian" sprite for her and I pictured her as tiny. Despite her tininess, she was a loyal but completely fearless takes-no-shit badass basically lmao. Because of her closeness with Noah she was able to either die for Noah or have Noah sacrifice himself, and I thought it was more angsty for her to die so she chose to sacrifice herself and take Jane's place. Everyone in my group lived except Devon because I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I lost a single one of those angels. In the fan project It Lives Within, I'm still doing the Noah/MC route because I'm shamefully a Noah apologist first and foremost lmao.
In It Lives Beneath I played as Harper Vance - I was the least attached to this book personally, but my favorite part of her character was her love for her little brother. She did save grandpa, lost her pinky, survived in the end, and her whole crew survived (and Parker didn't leave). She romanced Tom but honestly if I played through it again I think I'd have her romance Imogen because I loved her bubbly personality next to my MCs kind of sarcastic and goofy personality and then her and Elliot could be the gay rights sibling icons they deserve to be lmao. I love Tom, don't get me wrong, but his platonic route is just as good as his romance one and he is a great bestie. She had the really curly hair and I picked the "Hispanic" sprite.
In the fan project It Lives Within I actually have 4 MCs to play each of the four different LI routes, but my main MC is Rowan Burke. I'll try to avoid spoilers here as best as possible as this project is still ongoing! She is a "genuine" MC and is basically a cinnamon roll thrusted in the worst circumstances lmfao. She is just barely going down the "Blood" route I believe, although we don't know what that means yet 😬. Rowan romances Abel Flint and has a great relationship with pretty much everyone. She does not trust Matthias (I'm sorry Matthias simps lmao) nor does she trust Annie's ghost (she's been honest with the team about Annie at this point). She's got the tied back dark brown hair and is plus sized which is AMAZING like finally! I used the Caucasian sprite for her. I hope I can keep my streak up and keep all of them alive but we'll have to see. 😂
The other LIs I have for ILW are Joseph ("Joey" - sarcastic personality; romances Amalia); Xavier ("X" - genuine personality; he romances Lincoln); and Lorelai ("Lolo" - mix of all personalities honestly, and she romances Joss). Literally the MC customization is so good in this game I couldn't help playing multiple routes lmao.
If you have any specific questions I didn't cover, please feel free to ask them! I love talking about these books because the fandom is so small online, but I literally have no one irl who plays these books lmao (except my husband who I force to play with me sakskljadksd).
