putting off my angst wips to push an agenda lol

back to dirt

something that is like the baseline of amys entire character to me is that shes lonely. shes clingy and physically affectionate in a way none of her friends really are, shes always getting pushed aside and left behind. yeah, she helps out people she doesnt know because shes a nice person, but also, she sees part of herself in them. she wont leave someone else behind because she knows the feeling —and more importantly, hates the feeling. if she doesnt have somebody to stand by her and be there for her, then shes going to be that person for everybody else. something something her obsession with sonic is really just like a manifestation of that desire for closeness with someone, and she thinks that romance is the only way to get that. idk... this hedgehog can have so many abandonment issues.

hello friends. despite my 9 million existing dreamling wips i'm feeling the need to branch out a bit for the sake of my mental variety. what pairing other than dreamling should i write a little something for? could be romantic or platonic

other way of phrasing i guess: any pairings you really want to see more fics for in the fandom?

I had some Vashmeryl on the brain and thought of the very iconic kiss fist bump, an arguably out of left field but very cute and sweet gesture initiated by Vash.

But I was thinking. Meryl picks up the cue silently without any prompting and she doesn't have a self conscious reaction to the gesture. It's very natural and speaks to this chemistry they've always had. But if it were me in her shoes. No matter the moment or context I might struggle to understand why Vash would just say my name and kiss his fist. He doesn't leave it hanging or say anything to indicate what hes trying to do. She kisses hers and they go in for the bump.

So what if there's a missing moment? Like this is actually a reference to something that happened earlier. An inside joke so to say. Perhaps they've had a fist bump moment, perhaps it was a gesture during a promise during simpler times, or maybe an awkward greeting or goodbye. It's something I could see Meryl initiating in a self imposed state of flustered sheepishness. Maybe fist bumping becomes a thing with them. It's chummy. It's familial. It can be thier friendship thing.

Ah but then he kisses his fist in a very tense moment. Meryl is crying, he's on a suicide mission. This is it. He kisses his fist. The fist bump fist. And she knows he's giving her a promise. He's putting a little gesture into thier usual goodbye. Of course she picks up on it. That's thier thing. It brings a smile to her face through the tears.

So I'm subscribing to this headcanon. And I kinda want to see the fist bump precursor idk maybe with the Vash reunion that way we can have a proper call back.

a chain reaction of countermoves to assess the equation of you. check mate! i couldn’t lose.

fall(ing) for @mdzswomen : week 2 — qin su + betrayal

i wish someone would love me

realtalk you guys probably dont need to know about but i know like zero weirdromantic people in real life, i think my cuddlebuddy might still be in love with me but also i dont think i mind at all. my default un-filtered way of showing affection to close friends Is near impossible to differentiate from romantic affection and i dont mind being treated with affection that is probably romantic as long as the other party doesn't expect romantic love or exclusivity from me, or lead anybody outside of us to make assumptions on our relationship. and like. i doubt they care since what i do is so close to romantic anyway. its not really leading anybody on if we've talked about it

The Sun and The Void

Venezuelan inspired high fantasy

follows a young outcast swordswoman taken in by her grandmother, the dark sorceress for a noble family, who relies on the magic to keep her alive after being attacked by monstrous creatures

and a young noblewoman who’s the shame of her family because of her mixed heritage and desire to use magic

both are manipulated by those with more power than them into a plot to free an ancient evil god

mineral based magic, politics, nonhuman MCs

Every norribeth au ever is either "they lived happily ever after" or "she crushed his heart and soul", and that's good and all, but I propose a different route:

They're in Port Royal. They get married, like they're expected to. They're good friends. The marriage is just a cover, though, because they're both seeing other people (Lizzie with Will, James with Jack) and they cover for each other constantly because oh! The social taboos! The Governor's daughter and a blacksmith? Preposterous! The commodore and a goddamn pirate? Unthinkable!

They're a sassy pair of bitches and can act completely in love when the situation calls for it, but at the end of the day, they're having the last laugh and a fist-bump because they've damn well fooled society into thinking they're the perfect married couple.

i just finished watching the bear last week and i loved it but i literally can't go into the tag on here bc somehow everyone has taken a story about expectations and family and pressure and friendship and teamwork and the primary way people are engaging with it is through shipping :/ like not to be a hater but even in canon the romantic subplots feel forced to me and i don't particularly like them, so seeing people latch on to that instead of everything else the show has to offer is like?? you guys care about all this?

this ‼️‼️ like i'm not immune to shipping & there are some things where i Love (& obsess over) the romances but like ,,, i cannot imagine it being The Only Thing I Want To Talk About . i don't understand how ppl can watch something that is so primarily about trauma and grief and illness and recovery and be like Ah Yes.... But When Will They Smooch........

never thought i'd say it. not happy about gay sex

Something I didn't really notice until replaying Royal but Ryuji really doesn't let the past hold him down? Like in the rank 2 scene he tells Akira that he doesn't want to focus on his past and he's more focused about the future.

I think that's kinda neat tbh he doesn't wanna let the stuff with Kamoshida or his dad drag him down, he just wants to keep going forward.

my brain is being a doofus so i need you guys to do me a favor and throw art prompts at me. maybe it will like your guys' ideas better than mine
