psssssst wanna yap about all that glitters is gold for the fools🎤🎤

Yes yes yes yes

This is more of a concept than anything, and it's definitely one that's been done before, but I am an unapologetically Leo-centric writer. As such, I can't let go of the missed potential tmnt 2012 had with the healing hands.

You're telling me that's just a thing that suddenly became a thing and is a really useful thing that is just never brought up at all?? And it's a useful, all-healing thing with no drawbacks??? At all??

I hate that, not only is this never relevant again, but that it was so haphazardly thrown in and never given a proper background. Like sure it's a good plot device for the episode it was a part of I guess, but but. When you just put it in there, it makes viewers look back on all the times Splinter could have used it, but just didn't. I know that's just how things go sometimes, but like..??? When they're out getting hurt so often, you need to have a good excuse for why this is just suddenly a thing being introduced so late in the game.

There's been fics out there that explored this concept and I love them dearly because this bugged even 11-12 year old me. However, there's a small twist I wanted to give this idea >:)

Only snippet I can share (which is still subject to change) is this one:

His brother's there, witness to his selfish act; to his head poised over that steady rhythm, a hand grasping on for dear life. Thump, thump, it sings to him. It brings a smile to his face, one that pulls at muscles long forgotten. Donnie's eyes are wide, incredulous and disbelieving. A tremor goes up and down his hands, an accusing finger locked on target. "What did you do?" He takes aim and fires. As the brilliant person he's always proven himself to be, he doesn't miss. The words are dripping with disgust. And Leonardo can only flinch and look away from those searching searching, scared eyes, not able to say a single thing.

Main thing keeping me from finishing this is that I have to rewatch episodes and haven't had the time :']

The thought of someone pointedly focusing alll their attention into making you fold, teasing you about how ticklish you are, encouraging you to let your laughter out—people being tickled and their reactions might be cute but you know what’s even cuter? Being a ler. Wanting to be the reason people let their guard down, just to watch them become goofy and unhinged??? You want to watch people LAUGH?!? ADORABLE.

That being said! Here is a lil list of different ler archetypes ! Important to note that this in no way denotes that all people that tickle other people fit wholly in these categories!! This is just a lighthearted little collection of tropes I’ve noticed in different tickle situations, focusing on the tickler side!

Meticulous Ler

-they have all damn day to explore different tactics on every likely (sides, armpits, feet, etc;) and unlikely (specific places on the rib cage, palms, ears, collarbone,etc;) spots.

-because of that, they’ll be the most likely to find your ticklish spots you didn’t even know you had

-“How ‘bout…this spot?!? No? Hm..I swore I saw you blush when I tickled right here!”

-Is extremely determined and too too comfortable with destroying people with teases from the outside in seriously these lers are EVIL.

-“Did I hear…a LAUGH?!?” Right when I got to…this spot?!?”

-If they notice something produces a stronger reaction, they are HONING in on it.

-DANGEROUS. They are PATIENT, and are not afraid to try anything. (Within boundaries of course)

-Their thought process is if one spot/method doesn’t work, there’s another one that will! And they’re not shy to try and find it.

Cheeky/Teasy Ler

-Is relentlessly vocal and teasy, observant as HELL.

-ALso evil and incredibly determined, just in getting you to fluster yourself more than physically seeking out each spot

-They KNOW when someone is ticklish, and will not resist the urge to comment on it

-In any future scenario where you’re having a playful spat with someone, or if a ‘fight’ is brought up, this person will comment “Y/n’s ticklish!”

-They are the ones spilling the beans that you’re ticklish to other people, these are the encouragers which honestly feels more flustering a lot of times 😖

-When they DO physically attack, it’s often by surprise, orrrr when they know that their words will be the finishing move on totally melting the lee (ex: they often play the role of someone called in to help tickle a lee, high confidence scenarios where they KNOW where the lee is ticklish)

-Will constantly threaten to tickle you, or they flat out WILL, in public, at home, in front of other friends—they will be sure to make embarrassing and flustering you their first target.

Elder Ler

-Ok hear me out, I don’t usually split things like this into age categories, but this is close to my heart as it seems like this category of tickles come from grandmother/grandfather aged people that you know only have the most playful, pure intentions, and it’s just always so familial and comforting

-Doesn’t need to be an older person, but that’s kind of what I had in mind with all the encounters I’ve had with these types.

-Like when an older person clutches onto you when they laugh and if they do it on your side it TICKLES and that almost certainly makes them poke or squeeze you one more time, which is so wholesome but so FLUSTERING GRAH

-Or the spidering across the back of your neck/shoulders that almost always certainly makes me shiver and cringe into myself oh my goodness

-Cheer-up pokes.

-When they check in on you and just seem to notice when you’re feeling off and they genuinely care, chefs kiss

-They are just so fun and so kind. Oh my god im just like, missing a warm grandma figure tf

Goofy Ler

-Lord have mercy on you if you’re already a person who laughs easily. These lers will use every overexaggerated, over-the-top movement/noise they can just to get you to preemptively giggle before they even tickle you.

-These people just want to see you laughing, and are completely willing to make a fool of themselves to do so.

-Think big claw hands, monster walks, declarations of the tickle monsters arrival, baby talk teases, raspberries, evil villain laughing, etc;

-Are mischievous, will be the kind to tase your sides and quickly bolt away before you realize it’s them

-“TICKLETICKLETICKLE” in the silliest falsetto voice

Sadistic Ler

-Their main goal is ultimately to see how much you can take before completely losing it

-Would never actually break your boundaries on purpose, but if you’re ok with it, will get pretty damn close to making you cry and beg for them to stop

-On the hunt for the places that produce the most uncontrollable reactions/wildest laughs

-Are the kind to tickle for interrogation purposes/punishment/getting someone to admit something.

-Will be ridiculously coy+crafty, and say things like “aww just wait until I ACTUALLY start tickling you!” “Oh, did you think I was done?? You’re not going ANYWHERE” “What was that? Tickle you more? Ok!!”

-Thrive on entrenching the person they’re tickling in complete hysteria, their only escape being the help of another person or the mercy of this ler

-Will target bad spots in such an intense way the lee will be rendered too tickly and weak with laughter to even fight back

[Rescue after an earthquake]

Spinner: *in the temporary first-aid tent treating a passed out man’s wound*

Not to complain, but at this era that has advanced technology still has no flying cars, not to mention flying ambulances, can’t even afford to make civilian’s buildings more durable in earthquakes.

Hawks: *in another place using his wings to get injured civilians to Spinner’s tent*

They put the money into building Tartarus or something, i forgot the name of the “Unescapable Prison”. If they’re gonna put the villains in there and let them die anyway, why don’t they just kill then once they’re put it? Don’t tell me moral reasons.

Handy: *using his quirk on destroyed buildings while avoiding civilians so that they won’t get injured by the unstable buildings*

Still gonna say moral reasons. They could be dangerous to be released, they’re still humans. They’re just us with intentions and have done things the current society decided are “threats” and “evilness”. Come to think of it me and Eclipse could be those. But that place can’t trap Eclipse is all, i could die while getting out of there unless i have help on the outside.

Eclipse: *collaborating with Handy, helping the civilians Handy got out from the buildings*

Boldo ya assume i would be locked up in the first place. Besides, not all folks in there are dangerous, I’m still getting the proposal to be permitted. First therapy, second out for a walk, third good attendance, lastly freedom.

[First-aid tent]

Spinner: *wrapping a kid’s arm with bandages*

I feel bad for whoever would be chosen. You did great, kiddo, what kind of foodie you prefer? Chocolate? Candy? Lollipop?

Kid:

Lollipop please!

Recovery Girl:

If you didn’t talk to your patients while talking to your brothers, i would’ve scolded you.

Spinner:

Hehe, lucky me then.

[In the air]

Hawks:

Yeah, they’d have to put up with Eclipse for all those processes. There are injuries on your side, Majestic.

Majestic: *in the comm link*

Got it. Wait. How are you communicating with your brothers when you’re using the comm link with me?

[On the land]

Handy:

If they failed, they’d have to go through alll over again and more Eclipse time. No. 13, here please.

No. 13: *using her quirk on the building’s dust*

Are you guys using telepathy?

[In the building]

Eclipse: *with many green marbles floating around him*

I shall show no mercy in the process.

Mr Compress: *holding few blue marbles*

Wait, this old man can’t keep up with you Song parkour!

Eclipse:

You better hurry, the next decaying is coming!

Mr Compress:

Woah!

So in the star wars AU we've tortured Dream and Tubbo and Tommy and honestly the whole of the sleepy boys pretty thoroughly which means we now get to torture Eret, right? (Insert an evil laugh here)

Because there's so much angst potential. Eret fleeing out of the temple with about twenty younglings and padawans in tow, their home collapsing behind them in a rain of fire and blood and betrayal. Eret desperately trying to keep their charges alive but they slip through their fingers one by one till there's only Tubbo and Dream left. Eret, as a newly knighted Jedi, having no idea what to do but having all those lives depending on then. Eret dreaming of their former master who died protecting them even if they weren't a padawan anymore. (Eret, dreaming about all the children they couldn't save and waking up screaming, still with accusing eyes in their mind. Eret, wondering why they were the only one who survived and not someone who would have deserved it more).

Eret, after losing everyone and everything they ever cared about, wandering lost and aimlessly (and angry) through the galaxy, searching for something to do. They weren't planning on joining the rebellion. But after they help Hbomb out of a tight spot (and may or may not have accidentally become the king of a planet but we don't talk about that), Hbomb invites them and the anger burning in them makes them say yes.

Eret climbs the ranks in the revolution maybe faster than they should have but their rage powers them. When they meet Dream again after the other became a fully fledged inquisitor, they nearly give in. Later, it will take them years to confess just how close to falling to the dark side they were in that moment. They've lost everything and everyone and every perspective in life they've ever had and Dream had the audacity to stand there and talk about how they could join the person responsible for so much spilled blood? (Later, they'll find out that it was intentional. That the Crimson would have sacrificed half-trained padawan Clay for Jedi Knight Eret in a heartbeat. It takes the two of them a wgile to get over that realisation).

They don't fall. But it's a near thing and the darkness never really goes away after that. It hasn't fully left since they alll watched the temple fall but now it's different. Now it belongs to them in a way it hasn't before. They are scared. They don't trust themself. hey cut off their connection to the force as much as they dare and spend the next years expertly pretending they mever were a jedi.

When they see Tubbo again, they first think it's a hallucination or a force ghost. They'd never thought the padawan would have survived, even if he had always been quick-witted and ressourceful. It's a glimmer of hope for Eret they hadn't had in such a long time.

When they see Dream standing there in the quarters of the rebellion, their first emotion is anger. How dare he. How dare he. How dare he stand here after spilling so much innocent blood. How dare he be the one who survived after he willingly allied with the one who brought the destruction over them in the first place.

Later, when they are calmer and have seen they way Dream acts now a bit more, they are horrified they ever thought like that. But in that moment they are angry and it shows. Their duel is vicious and bloody and when Puffy interrupts them, they both bleed. The interruption doesn't stop them from arguing in a language no one else knows anymore and it takes some time until both the physical and mental wounds heal.

Now, as by the rules, some comfort ;): When Dream has his breakdown in the main hall and everything goes flying, nobody can get to him. Then, suddenly, Eret comes nearly flying out of one of the corridors and sprints to Dream. They somehow (force powers, obviously, but that's not yet revealed) avoid everything flying and cradle Dream's limp form into their arms. They whisper words the other can't understand, in a long-forgotten language that Eret learnt to read a book and Dream learnt just to show it was possible. The others don't understand a word of what is said but one word is repeated again and again: "Clay". (Eret's basically saying " It's okay. It's okay. You're safe, Clay. I got you and I won't let them touch you. I promise.* in slight variants over and over)

Also, after Dream and Tubbo got taken by the Crimson again, Eret is the one who sits with Dream when he wakes up. The two of them have long talks about the force and when Dream quietly reveals how scared he is of falling to the Dark side again, Eret tells him about their own issues. Together, they begin to work it out. Neither of them ever find fully back to the light but they make their peace with the grey and do the best they can.

-V

I should have seen this coming. We haven’t come up with hurt Eret had in the Star Wars au and it was only a matter of time.

God, but them being so close to falling to the Dark Side and them being so angry? Understandable and oh that hurts. That hurts a lot. 

Then we get Dream and Eret being mad at each other for so long and my god, it hurts. This hurts a lot.

Also, hey. That bit where it says that the Crimson was going to throw Dream away if Eret ever tipped over the dark side? Ouch. Oh god that had to be one conversation and a half for the two of them.

On the bright side, comfort! That’s good. We got the two of them with comfort and working their issues out and man that’s great. Healing is great. It’s about the recovery after the suffering and hurt.

Shipping Fics Self Rec List!

Valentine’s Day draws near and to get ready for the season of loving, I decided to come of with a list of five shipping fics that I am proud of. It proved to be quite a challenge considering I normally stick to character fics.

All That Glitters. Ladybug/Chat Noir. Miraculous Ladybug. G

When going after an akumatized robber, Ladybug and Chat Noir embark on one of their most exciting and challenging adventures yet!

I love a good adventure romance and it came as no surprise to me when I decided to write one for this Miraculous duo. When you get down to it, it’s about falling in love; of realizing that the person you care about the most has been by your side the entire time. And like any good old fashioned adventure story there are twists and turns, a fight between good and evil, and in the end our heroes get a happy ending to share together.

A Mistake. Professor Sycamore/ Lysandre. Pokemon. T.

It all started when you were twenty-two...

Many people, myself including after playing XY, have wondered what exactly was the relationship between Sycamore and Lysandre, and how Lysandre started off with good intentions to end up as the leader Team Flare, and his eventual plan to destroy Kalos. So I penned a plausible story: of a passion that sets off a chain of events that leads to Sycamore and Lysandre questioning their motives, goals, and how it ends in tragedy. I challenged myself to write in the second person, so that the reader could feel like they were interacting with the story as they read it.

Beside Him Every Step. Kevin/Gwen. Ben 10 Omniverse. G.

After the encounter with The Rooters, Kevin and Gwen settled back to their normal lives. But they both knew that things had been changed.

This one dates alll the way back to good ol’ 2014, but re-reading it, I feel like it still holds up. I tried to portray Kevin and Gwen’s struggles after the whole Rooters arc. Back in Alien Force season 3, it was heavily implied that Kevin suffered from depression, and I tried to portray the fallout as realistically as I could. I especially made a point to have Gwen be aware of that there is no magical fix that could make all of Kevin’s problems go away. You can offer your support, help, but sometimes you just have to be there by their side.

Catch Me If I’m Falling. Jessie/James. Pokemon. M.

The lines between teammates, friends, and lovers all paralleled and intersected each other throughout the years, and now James found himself tangled up in trying to decipher the everything that Jessie meant to him and the distance his cowardly self had propped up between them.

Catch Me If I’m Falling is still a work in progress with a long way to go, but I’m putting it here because I absolutely love writing it. For those of you who’ve been reading my fics for awhile, you might have noticed that I love character dynamics and this fic thrives on it. Clashing personalities, conflicting feelings, layers upon layers of complexity that mesh together in all its chaos. It’s another fic about falling in love, but the kind that makes the butterflies twist instead of fluttering about inside you. It’s about missed chances, lost moments, denial and regret that lead to a realization that comes too late.

Two For Joy. Loki/Leah. Journey Into Mystery. G.

He knew this feeling; it was difficult to pin down, but he knew he had experienced it before.

I still think that this is the best emotional fic I have ever written and that nothing can surpass it. It is about one of the simplest and purest forms of love: finding happiness in making your loved one’s world shine bright. Of finding a light that dimly glitters in the darkest of moments before fading away. The comfort one gesture or a phrase can bring. And how no matter if the future is bleak, you are reassured by the fact that the person you care about the most is by your side.

The Waiting Season--What I Have Learned & Am Still Learning

WAITING IS DEFINED AS THE ACTION OF STAYING WHERE ONE IS OR DELAYING ACTION UNTIL A PARTICULAR TIME OR SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS.

WOW!!! Well first off, let me say..it’s been a long,long time since I have written a blog post. Years probably. =( & while I hate to say that, one thing I always try to do is make sure ALL my post are inspired by God.I’ve told people this before..I love writing, its my passion, its my voice when I don’t know what to say, It’s one of the most BEAUTIFUL gifts besides my family & my best friend that God has given me. =) <3 Speaking of my family & my best friend BOTH have been asking me about blogging and writing lately. BOTH have always pushed me to get back into it, so here I am.=) LOL. I’m soo thankful for my amazing family & my amazing best friend for always pushing me to “keep at it..don’t stop writing..you have to stay consistent”. For my mom saying “Girl, write that book, you need to start blogging again”. For my best friend Justyn who always lovingly ask “You been blogging? How’s your blog? Have you been writing lately?”. Then of course there is my daddy who ALWAYS tells me...”You have an idea baby..just do it”.

I said ALLL that to say, whenever I post I like to be SURE all post are inspired by GOD. Also, how thankful I am for ALL the support I’ve gotten over the years even when I didn’t know what to write, I’m still soo blessed to have people who KNOW how much writing/blogging is to me and how much of a RELEASE it is, they understand it’s one of my giffs and they KNOW how God allows me to use it. MOST OF ALL-- I’m soo thankful to Jesus for giving me this BEAUTIFUL gift...He ALLOWS me to hear his voice soo CLEAR, soo often (yes, even when I don’t blog,lol) & He ALWAYS is there with sweet reminders for me.

SOO MUCH has been going on since I last blogged. Too much for me to even write in this blog post.

“THE WAITING SEASON”....

Honestly, I feel like it’s something we ALLL can relate to in one way or another. Whether that be a job, promotion, to be in a relationship, to get engaged, married, start a new beginning or whatever. We are ALL waiting for something. I know for me, the ACTUAL waiting is the hardest hard, but one thing i have learned (or am trying to learn) is how to stay BUSY even while waiting. There are things that God wants us to do WHILE we continously wait on HIM and we have to be SURE to do our part. Prayer, Studying his word, Going to church, being intentional about time with Him and Him alone.

A lot of times I feel it’s like during the waiting is when God is able to do His best work not only IN us but THROUGH us as well. Waiting increases our faith, teaches us many life lessons and also helps us see situations in a different perspective. I’ve learned not only does God KNOW BEST (of course =)  but, we are in this EARTHLY world and in the SPIRITUAL realm, when we “tap” into that God’s reasoning is soo much GREATER, MORE BEAUTIFUL & SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL than we can realize.

Waiting is hard, difficult, frustrating & we may want to give up at times but just KNOW that when we want to give up MOST...THAT’S WHEN GOD COMES AND BLESSES US THE MOST!!!!...&& What A blessing that is. =)

***BIBLE VERSES ON WAITING =)***

Psalm 40:1-17

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. ...
