*sits up in the middle of the night* in this next universe where vampires seem to have taken over the world, marceline probably either never met simon or he died soon after they met, which means that since her mom also died when she was really young (too young to remember a lot about her i bet), she most likely raised herself completely alone through the apocalypse and never really learned about Morals which is how after getting bitten she joined the vampires and, became evil i guess. we see that even with simons good influence in her formative years she went through a rough path after getting bitten so it would make sense that shed turn out nasty if it wasnt for him. she is part demon. we just saw an universe where simon lost marcy and was fucked up and now we're gonna see one where marcy lost simon and became fucked up

I know journaling is helpful esp if you have memory problems, i always avoid looking back at my journals honestly. but damn.. Reading my 2022 shits been so painful.
2023 genuinely was a much better year even if did spend much of it cooped inside my room, looking at a screen. Hoping for an even better 2024. I know its only October but hey. Im always jumping ahead a few months mentally. It may as well be winter already as far as Im concerned. I want to get this winter over with. I feel very hopeful for 2024 for some reason
#2023 is good its just a very hazy blur. i was thinking not using weed would help but nah. ive always been like this#weed didnt make my memory worse its always been shit it seems#reading these entries like “when did that even happen..?”#there are a lot of things in my life I want to change#im just glad i stopped using weed. looking at my 2022 experiences is kind of... making me feel compassion :(#weed dependency + risky sx was my escapism go-to in 2022 and now in 2023 it is cartoons and loud music#i think its safe to say i am gettint better. im learning to appreciate life again without being high. i got out of an abusive relationship#im focusing on me. maybe to a very unhealthy degree. but im doing things that make me happy when i can. im cooking amazing food#im drawing a lot. increasing communication w alters. working on how to handle my cptsd. im getting better even if it#doesnt look like it#self indulgent but i think i will be happy looking back on this one day. to future E; you got this#and hopefully u won't be doomscrolling in 2024 but even if you are. its so very understandable. lol#only today am i realizing after rereading old diary entries... im genuinely more stable even if it does not look like it#the amount of dissociation it takes for me to stay stable is sad though. id it even genuine stability at that point? im not sure#but im keeping afloat financially. homewise. at work. even if i feel like life is ripping me at the seams sometimes#but who doesn't feel like that#i think its safe to say i am reaching some type of stability. even if it easily crumbles apart. at least it is there..#txt

gorgeous — 이희승.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: roommate! heeseung x gn! reader
syn: roomates or not, lee heeseung thinks you're gorgeous. and he doesn't hesitate to let you know.
warnings: slightly suggestive (i think), mentions kissing. not proofread oops
wc: 466.
ri's note🎧: im a jungwon stan i swear 🙏 based off of one of novelbear's prompts! wasn't planning on writing on this acct but...
Tumblr media
“how do I look?” you asked the moment you stepped into the room, voice casual as you used the living room mirror to check your appearance. you glanced towards your roommate lying on the couch, scrolling on his phone mindlessly. without looking up from the device, he hummed at your presence, mumbling a disinterested “hm?” in response. 
you rolled your eyes at his vague reply, taking a few steps further into the room. the sound of your heel-clad footsteps caught his attention, causing him to finally look your way. 
lee heeseung swore under his breath.
the sight of you immediately rendered him speechless, your figure clouding his thoughts with desire.
“do you think i overdressed?” you asked again, hands adjusting the hem of your bottoms, uncertainty visible in your tone. were you kidding?
you looked fucking gorgeous. 
and if he could come up with another word to describe you other than gorgeous, he would. but at the moment, all heeseung's mind was filled up with was nothing other than you and your cute little outfit, your cute shoes, your cute hair, and your beautiful smile.
you radiate confidence and poise, there was no way you wouldn’t command the attention of anyone in your presence. every aspect of you was perfect. you are perfect. and you were causing the man to churn in emotional turmoil, making him go haywire.
heck, he’d be damned if he let you go out to see another man while looking this stunning. so he did what he should’ve done earlier. he couldn’t think of anything else. 
he placed his hands on your hips, abruptly catching you off guard. he rubbed the pads of his thumbs against the exposed skin, feeling the warmth of your curves against his cold fingertips. as you stood face-to-face with him, he gazed back at you with an unreadable emotion, one you couldn’t quite place. but it seemed to hold a familiar glint that past lovers had looked at you with.
on instinct, you could hear the blaring alarms ring in your head and you were about to step back and push him off. but your body seemed to have a mind of its own and almost like putty, you leaned into him, allowing yourself to meld with his hot touch. lowering your body onto his, your hands instinctively found their way to his shoulders to stabilize your weak body. wrapping his arms around your waist, a smirk played on his lips as he leaned closer, whispering.
“you look perfect.” and he smashed his lips feverishly against yours, pulling you towards him like a magnet. the kiss was filled with pent up frustration and longing as you gasped against the mouth of your roommate. you were making out with lee heeseung. and you didn’t mind one single bit.

Today's reading will focus on:
-your greatest strengths and abilties
-your "weaknesses" and how they can be leveraged to be skills. you have three pokemon cards to choose from.
Tumblr media
CARD ONE
strengths and skills:
when I look at your cards I feel like im looking at someone who has been at rock bottom and knows how to talk themselves (and others) out of a low point. You know how to extract lessons from situations others would see as a ''failure." in your world giving up doesn't exist, any "failure" is just a bigger, overarching lesson that helps you get closer to success. I feel like one of your strengths is being able to see things from both a higher perspective, and as the perspective of someone who has been at rock bottom. Its like you have both a helicopter view of a situation, and a on the ground view as well. This dual understanding allows you to help other people on a deeper level where no one else has been able to reach them. you help others understand their situation from a higher perspective but also from the perspective of someone whos ''been there.'' this skill reminds me of a Lenord cohen lyric where he describes Jesus, "and ..he realized only drowning men could see him." You can connect with people who have never had anyone meet them where they are, because you know how to guide them out of the waters. you have birds eye view which provides a greater understanding of a turbulent situation and its purpose without loosing sight of how it feels to be at ''rock bottom" on a personal, intimate level.
weakness and how it can be a strength:
Your weakness has to do with maintaining objectivity and balance. because you know so intimately how others may feel when they are at rock bottom, maintaining the boundary of not accidently going back down can be something that hinders you. But at the same time, this can be a strength in the sense that you feel very strongly for them, you want to stand up for them and find a fair conclusion. Your sense of justice may make your biased at times, but it also makes you motivated
CARD TWO
your strengths and skills
you can see beyond LIES and MISTRUTHS, you're someone who sees through anything thats unclear and confusing. you know when someone is trying to misdirect you and to confuse you, you have an uncanny sense of when something isnt adding up. i also feel that you can cut through extra details and bluff to get to the point of something, you dont mince words and you communicate very well regardless of the medium you choose.
weaknesses and how it can be your strength
you may not come from money, or you may not come from a background that gives you a soft cushion for you to fall back on. lacking a solid foundation may be something you consider a weakness about yourself, but this is actually something that can be your biggest strength- i know many people who come from BIG money. im talking Mercedes car before they even got an official license. Their privilege does help them in life. HOWEVER, they have no work experience, no applicable skills, no understanding of what its like to work 8-12 hours a day. they have never made a resume as they have literally never worked a job. I used to think this was something to envy but then I realized something pivotal: when their main providers die and that foundation goes away, they will have to learn skills many of us learned at 15-16 years old in their twenties or even thirties. that sounds like my worst nightmare.
when you dont come from that type of comfort, you have to learn to rely on yourself. this is a strength that makes you more powerful than alot of people in this world because you know how to build your own stability instead of having it provided for you. you will create your own legacy.
CARD THREE
strengths and skills
im getting the sense that you're very good at entertaining yourself, you have a magnetic sense to you that could attract others to you but its like you prefer your own company. Your passions, creativity and humor are enough to supply you with enough entertainment for a lifetime. you dont rely on other people to do this for you, you know how to make yourself laugh, how indulge in your passions, how to make yourself smile. You are your own sun, literally, my intution compared you to the sun lol
your weakness and how it can be a strength
you're very analytical, alert and aware of your surroundings. this may make you overly cautious, anxious but at the same time, its a strength to have the awareness that you possess. You're quick and on your feet, its difficult to catch you off guard. your focus may be pulled in several directions at once, but still, you have keen senses. I feel like you process stimuli very quickly, its may be a weakness in the sense that its hard to process it all at once, but it also makes you very difficult to catch off guard. You notice details others wouldnt, you hear things others cant.

Composite moon through houses p1
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
1th: this couple can be absorbed in each other. There is an ease in regards to the inner world of the other. Their reactions to the world and one another are relatable. Similar instincts. Compatible emotion expression. They suport each other and can turn to be very dependable of that dynamic. They can have a preference to deal with the world as a team. It can be hard to want to operate outside of the relationship. Creates a deep bond between two people. After separation one or both of them can feel desorganized in personal life and the act to become an individual again because of the habit of doing everything with the other person. The feelings are in the surface, they are visible to the other person and to people outside the relationship. They know you love them, they can feel it. People around you feel the love you two have for each other.
"I didn't say it yet, but i feel this person knows i love them deeply"
Tumblr media
2th: the emotional, the sharing are happening in areas of life that we have material security. This couple has a sense of physical safety with each other and this connection. They can feel the emotional bond is getting deeper when they do physical activities together. Or when they do activities with long term goals. One or both of them may feel like money and possessives play a part in their emotional response. Buying gifts can be a form to show their feelings and the other one can feel the gifts as a love statement. Share pleasure in what makes them feel security and stability.
"what about we start a fitness program together and work in that for one year?"
"maybe i wouldn't do it by myself, but i want that for a long time"
Tumblr media
3th: shared mental activities and hobbies. They can have similar opinions in a lot of topics they found important. They learn things in similar ways and have similar meanings to things that are happening around them, How they interpret the world. They love to have conversations and in order to achieve the emotional security this couple will need to really know the other in every aspect of them.

"hey babe im not in the mood of going out tonight i hope that's ok..."
"me neither, i want to stay home and watch movies with you, too"
Tumblr media
4th: Shared background experiences that makes life seems more familiar. We can depend on each other, they find easy to settle in a domestic routine. In to agree at what home life should be like.

They can want to have children together or being in company of children. A couple with moon in 5th house can raize children together very well, they have compatibility in that area.
"i think our daughter needs us to act that certain way right now, as parents"
"I think you are right, she needs it, let's do it"

Hey babe how are you?
I’m struggling there and would love an insight 🥁🥁🥁I can’t seem to fulfill myself lately.
I’m usually heavy on visualizing and inner convo and I feel so numb. My 2 big ongoing manifestations are SP and getting a job. I’ve been fulfilled before and got movement then had a major anxious episode and worked my way up to stability and neutral perspective of my 3D ✅
Now I want to fulfill myself and feel as good as I used to, feel like I’m on a cloud and constantly returning back to 4D because it feels soooo good BUT I just can’t ?? I know what I want and it doesn’t seem out of reach anymore thanks to my own study of the law I know how it works etc… but I just don’t feel anything anymore, and for whatever desire, I try to fulfill my inner self like she’s Cleopatra giving her everything food friends activities etc… but I’m just meh 🫤
Good thing I don’t go into old story negative story anymore but I mean come on A GIRL WANTS TO FEEL GOOD!!! Help me please 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
it seems like ur chasing the wrong “feeling”. youre searching for the excitement feeling (emotional) which is fine but the feeling you should be focused on is the knowing. remember feeling = knowing. you dont have to feel euphoria every time u fulfill urself bc it reaches a point where it starts to feel natural so you feel calm instead of excited. the important thing is that you know (feel) that you have what you imagined. think about it: when you first got your phone, you were so excited to get it every time u thought about it but now you dont feel that excitement bc you know its done. u feel calm (emotional feeling) bc you know feel fulfilled and know its urs.
so this isnt something to worry about bc u just are starting to see what u imagine as normal/natural which is why you feel calm instead of happy. but if you want to chase emotional feeling then just have fun imagining something new. what do you rly want? what do u rly want to experience? or maybe u can just have fun knowing it feels natural to feel like cleopatra (if that makes sense). and good job on knowing the 3d is neutral😈 im proud of you!!!!🎀

Tumblr media Tumblr media
im so sorry it took me so long to answer these oml but YES i'd be happy to show how i draw and color :)
— SKETCHING
please note that i almost always sketch traditionally first lol it's just a lot easier for me to determine how the drawing is placed that way, but i always go over and re-sketch it digitally
for magolor i always start with a basic egg shape (lmao) and then i add his ears. then I draw the scarf; it's easy to determine the shape and dynamicism based on where the bottoms of the ears are located
Tumblr media
then i usually add the cape and hood together. where and how these are placed and what these look like in general are very important because they're the main area that perspective is directed to (the ears and everything else is important too ofc!! but the hood and cape usually help demonstrate where he is looking and how he is moving the most). then i add everything else, usually his hands last!
Tumblr media
— LINEART
ohhhhhh god my worst enemy. Hope youre sitting down because this will be embarrassing LMAO
lineart is easily what i struggle with most and is more often than not the most time consuming and grating step for me. If i had a choice i would drop it in a heartbeat, but my style is so dependent on thick lines and shapes that it's difficult to 😭 a hole i dug myself into unfortunately ITS FINE THOUGH. ANYWAYS I'm getting sidetracked
i use my finger to draw all my digital art, which means i usually have to use a Heavy stabilizer to avoid shakiness and staggered lines. Unfortunately ibis paint's stabilizer is actually dog water and doesn't even stabilize more than half the time (in which case i have to repeat lines over. And over. And over again until i get it right) but when it does like me and works properly it's very helpful!
i always use the soft school pen bleed brush as my main tool for lineart. This brush has been my best friend for everything, i even use it for sketching idk it just really like the way it looks lol. sometimes i change the aspect if i want the lines to look more ,, chalky?? or smoother depending on the work
Tumblr media
i don't really use this tool much but for this specific piece, force fade was my partner in crime
Tumblr media
also i think i need to mention that i use so many layers for this. So many layers lol like to the point it's embarrassing. and at the end i merge most of them (except for the gear patterns, rings on his ear, and eyes + hands, which usually need to be by themselves as they're colored separately) Thank you for layers
and i end up with this!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
— COLORING && SHADING
yippee yahoo the fun part !!! the part that i love the most
at this point, if i havent already, i always create a folder for convenience in organization because this is the part that i stress the most about what details are on which layers lmao
then i add ANOTHER layer below that for the color, then i put every single color used on their own separate layer!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now, for shading, if im working on larger pieces with more complex shading, i'll usually plan it all out. normally when just drawing magolor, i don't really need to do this anymore because i'm so used to it lol, but for funsies i did it here anyways
Tumblr media
then i use the bucket tool to fill them all in
Tumblr media
i usually have a set color palette for all the characters i draw (though the way i shade white differs. A lot between my work as you can probably tell fhdfgf). For every color, i have two specific tones that are associated with the shading. for example, indigo + violet are shaded with my blue, pink + light orange (or lighter pink depending on my mood lol) are shaded with yellow, etc.
so, i shade the other areas with the 2nd shading color
Tumblr media
a big tip i can give for coloring is to look at a color wheel when you draw. i know that sounds like. Such basic advice LMAO but that seriously was a huge help for me when developing my shading and something i learned while studying — if you notice, in all of the shading in my work, all of the colors used are analogous on the color wheel. note that not ALL combinations will work together like others obv !! but it's a huge step in knowing where to go with it
then i add other extra details like extra lighting, halftones (if i feel like it // if it fits the work), glow to his eyes, and color the lines and ta-da!
Tumblr media
another tool i use a lot especially with my more recent art are blending modes, especially multiply. i use a clipping layer to add a dark color (usually a dark blue or purple) and set it to multiply, then erase the areas that emit light
Tumblr media
and this is the end result! this is a very very basic demonstration of it fhdjg i was a pretty messy with the lighting and erasing in this example but you get the general idea right
Tumblr media
and that's how i draw :) i hope this was helpful, and thanks for asking and being so patient with the response!

-----♡
A/N: Hey again! Thank you for the request and hugs! I hope you'll like this one too and that I didn't get her personality wrong!<33
Content: Established relationship, fluff, tiny bit of angst if you squint, sfw
Featured characters: Jing Yuan, Gepard, Sampo
Reader has no set pronouns!
((Not fully proofread!))
-----♡
》Sampo Koski
Tumblr media
At first, he was a little put off by how reserved and mature you always were. But soon enough, he began feeling drawn to you for it, especially as you gave him a stability he really craved deep down.
Definitely loves teasing you though, in hope's of breaking your stern demeanour and get a cute reaction out of you. Seeing you blush and fluster makes his day, even if you get a little irritated by it. But it's all in good fun, you know he loves you.
Makes sure no one ever crosses you with bad intentions. He knows, that you keep alot to yourself, so he doesn't want anyone to hurt you. He gets really scary, when someone dares it.
He has alot of respect for you, especially when you don't ever judge him for whatever he does. Although, you sometimes do scold him for stealing, which makes him actually willing to do better in life for you.
-----♡
》Gepard Landau
Tumblr media
You two work quite well together and are in fact a little similar. He's glad, that you're so stern and serious, especially when he needs guidance or reassurance on what to do next as a captain.
He's really caring and understands, if you need alone time for yourself. But he won't stand you hiding your feelings or thoughts from him. He wants to know how to best help you at all times. It's just in his nature.
He protects you from anything that would dare cause you harm. The last thing he wants, is for you to get hurt or become more closed off, than you already sometimes are. He won't hesitate using his status for it either.
He knows he can count on you too, if he needs help as well. He comes to you for second opinions often, trusting and respecting your advice or opinion fully without ever questioning it. He just thinks that highly of you.
-----♡
》Jing Yuan
Tumblr media
He definitely needs someone like you. You motivate him to do better everyday and finish his work without the many breaks he usually takes. But you also keep him from overworking or straining himself too. You give him a balance, that he truly appreciates.
Your reserved and mature nature doesn't bother him. In fact, he makes into a little game to see how long it takes to fluster you with his words alone. He finds the way you stubbornly try hiding your blush absolutely adorable.
You often scold him for his choices as a general and whilst some may find it disrespectful, he finds your words just as important as his. Whatever you say goes. You were never once wrong in his eyes, after all.
He won't let you keep your emotions or needs hidden from him. Jing Yuan always somehow knows, if you're feeling sad or not. He makes sure to never let you go through anything alone. He's always there, when you need him.
-----♡
A/N: Thank you again for the request! I hope, I could do it justice!<33

ok one thing i am Absolutely certain of is that something is Up with misha and im far from the only one
the fact that literally No character acknowledges his presence beyond us and clockie (who, mind you, isnt seen by anyone else either). how his dialogue as a visitor to the express has him likening it to feeling the way "home" does. the fucking keyhole eyes and the keyhole door motifs in the dreamscape Especially a childs dream (and whos a child in the penacony cast???)
and just honest to fuck the ENTIRETY of a childs dream like. mikhail. when misha is a diminutive of the name. the voices you hear during the story segment in the map DEFINITELY include mishas. they describe it as a dream that is created from the memories of a child yet its also the map that contains the most references to the watchmaker including that room which seems like his workshop or sth??
his interest in the astral express and the new gacha destruction LC literally depicting him receiving a ticket to the express (from his grandpa too whos prolly the mikhail n also the watchmaker) combined with the fact our invitation to penacony was using the EXPRESS distress call genuinely makes me feel like it could be him behind that hidden message
n then i just saw a comment that wondered whether hes the fucking nilou to penaconys "dream". and like. it would be so fucking wild but also adds up so well?? Or maybe im insane but listen.
penaconys dream is falling apart its sinking back into the depths of a much more chaotic, dangerous memory space. the way the dream samsara in genshin 2.0 story worked was that it depended on the "dreamer" never becoming aware of the fact that theyre dreaming. and what question does the distress call slash invitation carry? one thats pondering the meaning of dreaming. one that i can VERY well believe to be coming from someone whos literally been dreaming for aeons know How long slowly becoming aware and asking Why. Why does life slumber?
if misha has been created as or made into the lynchpin of penaconys dream holding it all together but for some reason has begun rousing from his slumber and gotten close enough to awareness that he IS dreaming that its beginning to affect the stability of the dreamscape. and he has some sort of vague memories (or maybe inherited ones thru his 'grandpa' who might well be just the watchmaker that Created him) of the express. wouldnt it make complete sense for the first thing in his mind to call for the express?
and even things like "death" too? if misha is the dreamer and waking up and hes fucking terrified and confused and disoriented. Yet its still his dream that makes up the entirety of the dreamscape. its not at all unrealistic on the level of just the idea itself that his creeping existential dread of who he even is and if hes even real outside of this dream hes now been forced into being aware of. begins to take the shape of an actual death incarnate in the memory zone. bc isnt that what it is to discover you yourself might just be a part of a dream - and a dream that could fall apart any moment if you wake up. That he might be already dead - or never even have existed in reality at all. like sheesh kid id be spawning nightmarish horrors into my dreamscape too
then i also just rly feel like. the watchmaker equals a nameless equals mikhail equals mishas grandfather but also the creator of penaconys dream but also possibly either the creator of misha or maybe misha himself being not only a diminutive of mikhail in name but Literally . as in a fragment of the watchmaker left behind in the dreamscape as the dreamer holding it all together. the LITERAL watchmakers legacy. like hhhhhhhh i cant stop thinking about thiss
if aventurines trying to take back penacony for the IPC does it mean hes literally trying to wake misha up to destroy the dream (tho he might be unaware of this being the final step as of rn himself)?? and the familys interest is obviously in forcing the dreamer to slumber eternally. but the one thing neither party might foresee is misha himself taking action too. which hes Already done if it was him behind those invites too
+ acherons comments when u first meet her? about the dream being doomed to fall apart in the end. it feels prophetic. ppl have theorized shes an emanator of terminus the finality which could mean she experiences linear time in reverse the same as her aeon. literally traveling from the end to the beginning in a predestined path. so if thats true then its almost guaranteed she wasnt making a hypothetical comment about the dream being destroyed.
she mightve seen it happen already.
man what the hell is going on in this planet😭😭

is jgy different in the books than in the untamed? sorry if u haven’t read them im kind of just assuming u have even tho i haven’t lol but i was wondering if his characterization has any major differences like how wwx in novel vs untamed they sort of sanitize him and take away any culpability and honestly some of his edge. just curious if there’s any major differences in his characterization between the two
I'm not the best person to answer because I've only read the first two volumes of MDZS. Short answer: Yes, he is different, and in fact gets the reverse of WWX's treatment: Drama JGY is more overtly villainous than Novel JGY. However, IMO it's a little more complicated than that!
(Novel enjoyers, please chime in if I'm forgetting or misrepresenting anything.)
A lot of JGY fans greatly prefer the novel and feel that The Untamed did him dirty, because a lot of the show's plot changes that make WWX look better make JGY look worse. Jin Zixuan's death is the most glaring one: in the novel, WWX really does lose control of WN because he overestimates his abilities, and it's a tragic accident. JGY and SMS's implied involvement in the Massacre at Nightless City also doesn't happen in the novel; that, too, was a devastated WWX wreaking havoc and/or losing control. The novel also establishes that JGY is subject to abuse within Jinlintai, so there's an element of duress that one can read into his actions under JGS. Novel NMJ behaves more aggressively towards JGY than he does in the show, so his murder doesn't have the same tinge of malice. (The novel timeline also has JGY and LXC meeting before JGY and NMJ, all during Sunshot, so there's that.) Additionally, the novel tells us that JGY is genuinely a very good leader once he's Chief Cultivator and has implemented policies that have improved the lives of regular people and contributed to political stability. We're also told more about his childhood and his love for his mother, and we learn that his relationship with QS is a tragic love story (he doesn't know they're related until after she's pregnant) rather than something he went through with anyway. So in the novel, he's got a lot of positive things going for him that censorship didn't allow to carry over into the show for fear of having too much moral ambiguity.
HOWEVER!!!
The thing about the novel (and why I don't vibe with it as much) is that it's very much WWX's story, whereas The Untamed spends wayyyyy more time with its supporting cast. You might've noticed that I said the word "told" a lot in the above paragraph, because... well, that's what happens. We're told things about JGY, but we don't see him as much, especially since the novel is focused on the post-timeskip era with the stuff in the past coming through non-linear flashbacks. You don't get to see Meng Yao being Just A Little Guy very much before he becomes the Kitten Thinks About Nothing But Murder All Day meme. Now, you also don't hear dramatic music telegraphing HEY!!! HEY!! VILLAINY IS AFOOT!! HEY!!! every time JGY does literally anything, but you do have everything filtered through WWX's unreliable narrator monologue, and he is out there saying some truly wild shit. (You also get less Xiyao. Like, it's there if you want it to be, but The Untamed really went all-in on that.)
For me, the show works better, because I am a sucker for corruption arcs where you see glimpses of the character before they start the atrocities. Seeing him be Just A Little Guy making the saddest meow meow faces when people were mean to him kept me from totally losing sympathy for/interest in him once things start getting squicky, because I had evidence that he wasn't always like that. Meanwhile, JGY's first big scene in the novel is the confrontation with QS (which already makes my skin crawl and is somehow WORSE in novel form), and I was just like "wow, this guy sucks" even though I knew the story and all the extenuating circumstances already. For others, the novel works better, because "first impressions and society's opinion are unreliable" is a major theme, so the reverse reveal combined with the fact that he demonstrably tries to improve people's lives as a leader is less expected and more satisfying.
So yeah! JGY is different, but the ways in which he is different are due to storytelling methods as well as to plot changes!

hey i was wandering if i could request a Larrisa Weems x fem reader smut
basically reader being a brat not doing as she told purposefully doing things Larrisa would hate like cussing and Larrisa does not like her attitude and tells her “to keep your pretty mouth shut” but reader chooses to ignore her and continues giving attitude and stuff. so Larrisa takes things in to her own hands puts on hand round reads throat with slight pressure and repeats herself “keep your pretty mouth shut” and she also says “and do as your told” . reader gives Larrisa false hope and fakes an agreeing smile so she would let go of her throat but once she does reader says “haha you thought” which makes Larrisa have an idea she tells read to lay down and reader thought about for second and did but continued giving attitude and Larrisa pulls her underwear of without reader noticing and then she pulls up her skirt and sits on readers face which makes her instantly shut and eat what is given to her. Larrisa says “thats it pet now your quiet”
and you can continue the smut from there if you like 😊
also if you dont not want to does that is fine i hope have good day ☺️
also considering other anons have emojis could i request i be “✨” please :)
im sorry this such long request
Punishment
Larissa Weems x reader
Tumblr media
A/n: somebody teach me how to write again I think I forgot how.
Warnings: face riding, dom!larissa, bratty sub!reader, petplay if you squint
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
You had quite the attitude today. Breaking Larissa’s rules, challenging her constantly, and she was done with it. So much that she ended up practically dragging you back to your shared room, work and all else completely forgotten.
You were thrown into bed with a simple command. “Strip.” You complied easily enough, completely undressing before laying back for her.
Larissa was on top of you in a second, hand wrapped around your throat. “Good. How many times do I need to tell you to behave, to keep your mouth shut instead of trying to challenge me. Do I have to remind you who’s in control?”
“Maybe you do, I seem to forget quite a lot.” Her patience was wearing thin, you knew that. She gave you a smile you knew was everything but happy. “I’ll make sure you don’t forget again, mutt.”
“Lets put that bratty mouth of yours to good use, hm?” It wasn’t really a question, you knew. “tongue out for me pup, let me use you.” She lowered onto your face with a sigh as you obeyed.
Her hips grinding against your tongue, your own thighs squeezed together as you moaned, hands gripping her thighs and pulling her closer.
“Quiet now? I knew you could be a good pet.” You whined and nodded against her, forcing her to grip the headboard to stabilize herself.
She smiled at your display of neediness, “Is this what you needed, mutt? Needed me to keep your mouth busy?” One of her hands made its way to your hair, using you for her own pleasure.
A sharp gasp escaped her when you circled her clit. The sound of her moans and quiet praise driving you mad. The second your hand left her thigh to relieve the ache between your legs she slapped it away.
“This is a punishment, don’t forget.” Her breathy voice and the stuttering of her hips was enough to show she was close, and it only motivated you to push her over the edge faster.
She came with a loud moan of your name, hips bucking against you and thighs squeezing shut around your head, you continued regardless, “That’s it puppy, lick me clean.”
You savored every drop of her release until she sat up and you continued your trail down her thighs, marking her pale skin red and purple. “Think treating me good will get you rewarded, pet?”
You giggled, “won’t it?” Larissa scoffed and moved to lay next to you. “You did good, pup. Maybe I’ll reward you.. another day, when you earn it.”
She laughed at your pout, “don’t act like you’re unhappy, you got exactly what you wanted.”
