Hmm… Steven Universe quotes for SB&IB?
Marinette: Hey, Kaalki. What do you call this? *Points to her nose*
Kaalki: A sense sponge.
Ikati Black: Huh?
Marinette/Scarlet Beetle: *Laughing*
Marinette: Okay! What’s this? *Points to her eyeball*
Kaalki: Vision sphere.
Ikati Black: Kaalki, that’s-
Marinette: Wait, wait! Ikati- *Giggles* Kaalki, these? *Wiggles her fingers*
Kaalki: *Getting annoyed* Touch stumps.
Marinette: *Points to her foot*
Kaalki: *Getting angry* Gravity connectors.
Marinette: *Points to her backside and smirks* This?
Kaalki: THAT’S YOUR BUTT!
—
Ikati Black: I need to be able to protect you!
Scarlet Beetle: But if you're the one protecting me...Then who's the one protecting you?!
—
Alix: You can’t outrun me! We both have short legs!
—
Cosette: Wait! Why are you here, Simon?
Simon: Me? Nothing, I was just, uh… Well, you know how I always say… Um… I just, uh… I like to watch my friends sleep sometimes. And by “sometimes,” I mean “often.”
—
Juleka: Hey! Cut him some slack!
Rose: It’s not his fault!
Luka: Just let him be a gay polyamorous angel!
Roger: Wha?
Ivan: We just wanted Xavier to have some fun. I don’t know what’s going on with Bob sending those priests to abduct him and him hating his own body so much, but it sounds like he’s got a lot on his mind.
—
Rose: I think Wayhem is asking you out… On a date!
Marinette: … Well, that ain’t happening.
Adrien: Nope.
Rose: Why not?
Marinette: Adrien’s already in a relationship.
Rose: Wait, really?
Marinette: Well, yeah. With Luka and Xavier.
Rose: Oh yeah… So I guess this date with Wayhem is out of the question.
Adrien: Four can be a crowd.
—
Wayhem: Adrien! You’ve come! You can tell your friends about all the wonderful things you’ve wrote to me in your missive! *Holds up the letter*
Adrien: … I didn’t write that.
—
Monarch: What do YOU know about the Wish?!
Volpina: Apparently more than you! You… CLOD!
Monarch: … WHAAAAAT?!
Volpina: Uh… Uh… I revoke my own akuma! *Transforms back into Lila*
—
Donatella: *Looks up to see Scarlet Beetle floating in the air* Oh, there’s Scarlet Beetle. Just flyin’ around. *Walks away*
Scarlet Beetle: No! Donatella! Come back!
Donatella: Wait. Can Scarlet Beetle fly?… Yeah, I think I remember that… No! No! I’m thinking of Monarch!
—
Ismael: You have to pull over to the side and show them your license.
Zoé: I don't have a license!
Marc: What?!
Denise: But you're old enough to drive!
Zoé: What was I supposed to tell the DMV, that I’m from America?! I’m not exactly a French citizen, Denise!
—
Max: Hey, how's it going? Are we winning?
Marinette: Ummm... *chuckles nervously*
*Marinette then sees Marc giving instructions to Nathaniel on how to kick a soccer ball properly*
Marc: Now, what you want to do is kick with the top of your foot. *Nathaniel kicks the ball* Yeah. That's pretty good. Let me show you again.
*Denise watches Marc and Nathaniel, and then glances towards Marinette with a look of suspicion*
Marinette: Well, haha... *hesitates* We're doing just fine. Everything's gonna be A-Okay. *Walks nervously back to the field*
Max: You’re lying to me!
Marinette: To make you feel better!
Max: Thank you!
—
Denise: Listen to me. You are not two people. And you are not one person. You are an experience! Make sure you're a good experience. Now... Go!... Have!... Fun!
—
Senti-Beetle: This is Prince Paon’s line.
Donatella: Is that a Senticreature?
Komodo: *To Scarlet Beetle and Ikati Black* Who are they?
Scarlet Beetle: Ugh. We don’t know every Senticreature who looks like us, Komodo.
Senti-Beetle: Who authorized you to make this call?
Volpina: No one, b-but it's an emergency!
Senti-Beetle: That's no excuse to call him out of the blue, and expect-
Prince Paon: Senti.
Senti-Beetle: Yes, Father?
Prince Paon: Why is there an someone calling me?
Senti-Beetle: I don't know. I was just about to tell her that-
Prince Paon: I'll take it from here.

Also, that person keeps using the term "riot queer" and then describing something completely different. Do you think Marsha or Stormé were also the kind to police other queers' behavior at the Stonewall Inn? Do you think they called for the raid? Do you think they liked the people who did?
I don't.
I also object to the characterization of everyone else as Love Wins Queers, versus Izzy's Riot Queer (or Old Guard Queer, or whatever that person is actually trying to argue, bless their heart).
It at least shows, though, that we agree that everyone besides Izzy is of some kind of piece, and Izzy is somehow different. I can work with that.
Everyone else is some combination of Riot Queer and Love Wins Queer.
Buttons: in love with the sea, talks with birds, speaks in riddles; a pretty competent pirate helmsman/first mate, yearns for human flesh, bites
Ed: big soft goofy goth theatre kid, musical, fancies a fine fabric; is, ya know, Blackbeard
Fang: even bigger, even softer, goofy goth; Blackbeard’s main heavy
Frenchie: weird witchy musical fic-writing twink, sews, is into interior design; will scam you and spill your darkest secrets, has knives in his feet like a cat
Ivan: is Fang’s literal shoulder to cry on; wastes nothing, especially not the gold teeth
Jim: loves Olu, mourns their birth family, has a complicated relationship with their mother figure, gives the rest of the crew more chances than Jim feels they deserve; is Jim
Lucius: our favorite bitchy femme gay polyamorous relationship counselor; will humiliate you to death, can also whack you uspside the head if needed
Oluwande: quiet, caring, most frequently in possession of the show’s one brain cell, loves Jim; loves Jim, will scam you, can bash heads, coldly dismisses Izzy’s plea not to let the crew throw him overboard
Pete: poor dim baby, thespian, loves Lucius; full of braggadocio and really into mutiny and the violence of pirating
Roach: doctor, proud chef, sews, juggles (maybe); knives are knives, meat’s meat, finds torturing prisoners relaxing, provokes nazis for the sake of punching nazis
Stede: soft goofy theatre kid who just tries so darn hard, loves Ed; ran away to be a pirate, is a master of posh passive aggression, and in his hands, the stun move is overkill
The Swede: voice like an angel, blushes, gets the zoomies and a glow-up; is a pirate, might marry Jackie (Honestly, The Swede is the closest we come to a pure Love Wins Queer.)
Wee John: makes dresses, into interior design, has a drag persona; lives to set things on fire
Izzy: repressed and repulsive; a skilled swordsman, an abusive middle manager, and a narc
One of these things is not like the others, as they say.
Izzy is neither Love Wins nor Riot, and he’s not really Old Guard, either. He’s repressed and dripping with toxic masculinity. That’s his character, it makes him an antagonist—and it makes him someone I want nowhere near any place that bills itself as a safe space.
It’s worth noting that everyone else largely directs their violence outward, away from the group. That’s what makes them Riot Queers. And regardless of where their violence is directed, it’s often in self defence/preservation (whether justified or not).
Izzy is the only one we see making a habit of violence against those around him, and it’s for the sake of enforcing his own idea of his authority. I’d also say he inflicts more intentional psychological damage than any other member of the crew. And, thinking back on my recent rematch of the series, I’m not sure I remember seeing Izzy physically assault anyone in authority outside the Revenge (I’m not sure of that, but it’s my impression at the moment; and I will watch for it when I sit my polycule down for one last rewatch before Oct 5). And he always has at least a civil mask on when speaking with them. (Lord help me I won’t bring race into this post.) So yeah.
One of these things is not like the others for sure.

Seriously though everyone after mirror must have a battle royale it's too much i doubt all of you will even last longer than today also happy birthday me -dated:28th- do you even realise what sort of commitment you've made to sell pieces of your soul for entertainment and ability to make such epic retorts each and every post?!

If any new people join I will go back to causing shower wars for the sake of killing you all I'm done I have snapped my laptop is updating 3 times in a row

Current Projects & Emoji Voting Key
Quick disclaimer: I’m a romance writer in all aspects of the term, so most of my works will contain mature content. Engage at your own risk, you know the rules, you’re responsible for curating your own experience of the internet, blah blah blah.
This post serves as a current mock up of fic ideas I’m either actively working on or considering working on next. You can drop me an ask about any of them, or just vote via the emoji combo I’ve assigned them.
Voting lets me know you’re excited about an idea and makes it more likely I’ll actually work on it. You can vote anytime, there’re no deadlines or winner announcements, just me gauging your interest by what I see in my ask box most often.
You can also ask me about the original stuff I’m working on currently. The current WIPs are Medusa centric and the emoji for them is: 🐍
Support my original work on Ko-fi and Patreon.
- Lupin: 🤑🤠💍
These are all oneshot ideas, between 5-15K each. If you want to vote for a specific idea, send me the emojis and the number of the idea.
Born from the idea that Goemon and Zenigata probably couldn’t be an item, my brain decided to come up with how I could write for them. Goemon’s teaching an ikebana class as part of his training, and Zenigata shows up as a student on forced recreational leave for his health from the ICPO. Zenigata wins the samurai’s heart through flowers. But what happens when Lupin and Jigen find out? (Only good sexy things, I promise. These beans are in a healthy polycule--be gay, do crimes) (WIP)
Jigen/Lupin, but it's Jigen deciding to seduce Lupin while wearing his own Lupin disguise. The thief is waaaaay too into it, and some artistry is taken with the sex so that they don't mess up the disguise too much during their encoutner.
Jigen/Zenigata/Lupin where Jigen has some fantasices about Zenigata, but is pretty sure they'll never happen. Tells Lupin about them. Suddenly the fantasies are coming true, in the middle of a heist, and Jigen doesn't what to do except get swept up in the moment and enjoy. Plot twist, it's Lupin dressed up as Zenigata granting all his gunman's dreams. Plot twist again, Zenigata catches them at it.
Zenigata/Lupin, where Lupin keeps doing good things in illegal ways and Pops has to find a way to punish him for it. Good thing for Pops Lupin's a masochist?
Trans!Lupin and Trans!Jigen premise: Jigen cares for Lupin after the master thief has top surgery, since Jigen has Been There and Done That. Caring, sweet, and a little sexy. Lupin is a much better patient than Jigen.
The one time Zenigata caught Lupin in an alley and kissed him and it was Jigen in disguise. Things get sexy anyway, and Zenigata has crushes on two thieves now. Lupin and Jigen "kidnap" him later for an evening of taking care of their inspector.
The background plot of Jigen's Gravestone where we see Jigen think he's done for and try to leave Lupin. Our thief has none of it, and we get to relish in the inherent eroticism of Lupin sitting in sniper fire, knowing Jigen's got his back. This is the moment I think Jigen finally believes he can be with Lupin forever.
I love the idea of something longer and more plot driven like a Lupin special where Lupin ends up in hot water and Jigen and Fujiko have to work together to save him. Jigen and Fujiko have such an interesting relationship. They're both partners of Lupin, they don't really like each other, they constantly screw the other over, but when it really matters they take care of each other. I'd like to see that highlighted a little more and also give them space to call each other out and bicker. Nothing sexy between them, but maybe a really interesting threesome with Lupin and Fujiko in a strap on once they save their boy.
- Sonic Vampire Novelist Coffee Shop AU: 📚☕💐
Shadow is an immortal vampire who has seen the world change for the worse too many times. These days it feels like he only lives for his coffee dates with Rouge, another immortal who loves each new era they encounter, warts and all. He has to admit that the book series she got him into speaks to him, at least. If someone in this era can understand him without meeting him, it can’t all be bad. But he hardly expected the goofy blue barista at the new coffee place to understand him the way those books do.
This is a novel length romcom romp with some big feelings about what it means to watch as things change, grow, and die. Expect lots of Big gothic feelings from this one, emotionally charged kissing, and overly-adoring sex. But also expect shenanigans from everyone in the coffee shop, which include Rouge, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, and more.
- Sonic Blazamy, "Like the Sun": 💖🌸💎
Amy Rose has been in love with Sonic for a while.
Or has she?
When the Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver are trapped as the fuel sources for Doctor Eggman’s newest evil scheme, Amy teams up with Blaze, Rouge, and Cream to save them. With Sonic out of the picture and Amy fulfilling his role, was she ever really in love with him? Or did she just want to be like him?
This is a novel length epic romance with lots of competent women and lots of romantic Blazamy content. Expect flowery hopes and dreams, badass self-actualization, and glancing hand touches that give way to cuddly and sweet sex.
- Persona 5: 🗡🍛☕
After bringing down the Metaverse twice, Ryuji didn’t think graduating high school and figuring out what to do with his life would be so hard. Akira’s back in town, and the gang’s more-or-less all in Tokyo, but everyone else seems to have a plan while Ryuji just floats. How’s he supposed to change the world when he’s not a phantom thief anymore?
This is a novel length fic that addresses how powerless one can feel being just one person in the face of all the corrupted systems and bigotry the world has to offer. It’s about holding on to what you believe in, working through the doubt, and fighting your way to a better tomorrow with the power you do have. The whole gang is queer, featured relationships being Mako x Ann, Ryuji x Akira, Futaba & Yusuke as platonic life partners. Akira is polyamorous and omnisexual, Futaba’s asexual and aromantic while Yusuke is demisexual and very romantic, Makoto’s a lesbian, Ann and Ryuji are bi, and Haru’s pansexual, demisexual, and aromantic. They’re one giant band of queer Phantom Thieves, and even if they’re not really doing the Metaverse thing anymore, they’re still gonna save the world!
Also, I’m gonna make Makoto not a cop. That super didn’t age well. Zenkichi and his boss can work on making them better/abolishing them for other better organizations.
- Hades Game: ❤️🔥💀
Oneshot. I just really need to elaborate on the threesome you can have with them in-game, okay? Healthy and canon poly relationships are so few and far between, so often I have to do a ton of groundwork to explain why it’s working in the fic, but NOT WITH THESE KIDS!
Get ready for Meg helping Zag and Than be better at expressing their feelings, lots of kissing, and probably pegging.
- Castlevania Animation Trevor/Sypha/Alucard: 🧛🏰🛌
Castlevania gave Alucard a threesome last season, and I just really need S4 to give me him being taken care of by his partners. They’re probably not going to give it to me, so I’ll need to do it myself. This is just an everybody loves Alucard oneshot, with the gang’s signature banter (to an extent), Sypha being sexy, and Trever being remarkably sincere. This fic is gonna feel like that Ann Hathaway picture with Trevor kissing Alucard and Sypha holding the end of Trevor’s whip while she leans her head on Alucard’s shoulder adoringly.
- Devil May Cry Nico/Lady/Trish: 💋✨😈
Nico’s gay, okay? Like really, really gay. And Lady’s bi and not into men who make her pay bills, but very into women who make amazing guns for her and demonesses with hearts who fight by her side. Trish is ace, but loves people and is pretty attached to Lady at this point. Plus it’s cute when Lady blushes and says nice things like they’re insults. I don’t have super solid ideas for them yet, and I envision these more like a polycule where Lady’s with Nico and with Trish but they’re not with each other more than seeing it as a threesome, but who knows what might happen. This is probably 1-2 oneshots depending on ideas, but might turn into a series of oneshots if people are interested (or I can’t control myself and inspiration strikes).
- Post FMA:B Blind Roy & No Alchemy Ed: 👀👑🙏
This is actually an old novel-length fic I wrote ages ago and didn’t post that didn’t turn out well because I was new to writing sex when I first wrote it. The plot is good, and is all about Roy learning to work with his blindness to reclaim his ambition of being Fuhrer and changing the system to something that actually cares for its people. He and Ed reconnect, fall into bed, and both set about working through their respective traumas about being “useless” having lost their sight/alchemy. They go to Xing as an ambassadorial party to offer Amestris’s collaboration on Al and May’s Alkahestry experiments--and uncover a plot that might threaten both kingdoms.
- Age of Calamity continuity Mipha x Revali: 🦚🐟💘
The first time Revali noticed Mipha, it was in the heat of battle. She stole his mark, taking them down with a flurry of quick blows from her spear. Violence rained from her like water--and then she healed him on her way to her next battle. No questions, no conditions, just pure kindness. The usual need to measure himself against those around him was quiet in her wake. And Revali couldn’t understand it. But how to get to know more about her? A fish and bird may fall in love, but where would they live?
This fic could be a oneshot or novel length depending on how far down the hole I fall. I need it to cover time, but it could be done in linked vignettes or with actually covering events in detail. I may elect to do a oneshot just to get it done and out of my system faster. So much fic to write, so little time.
Expect trans!Revali, polyamorous Zoras, scary competent Mipha, songbird Revali, love confessions that are made up entirely of berating Link for not loving Mipha the way she wants him to, and breaking these characters a little outside of their assigned roles in BotW and Age of Calamity. Background Link x Zelda, and Urbosa x Zelda’s Mom.
- Epic desert romance about Urbosa and Zelda’s mom: 🏜🏝⚡
I just think Urbosa should kiss women and Zelda’s mom should get more development and maybe a name or something. Also, lightning imagery/metaphors/play.
It also went way over my head that Riju wasn’t Urbosa’s daughter the first time I played BotW, so now I want to write about the Gerudo queen who refused to produce an heir. The Gerudo are fascinating and have a very interesting cutlure, but I think it could be examined from a nonbinary perspective that rejected pregnancy and wanting to find a husband. Not in like a hateful way, but in a way that examines if that’s really right for everyone. There’s that shop in town that sells Voe armor, after all. Maybe finding a husband and having children isn’t something you have to do if you don’t want to. And Urbosa really doesn’t want to.

✨pieckhan high school au✨
written for Parker
- nblw ship -
word count: 1, 189 words
genre/plot: hange and pieck are dating. implied levihan
notes: uhh yeah i wrote this and i like it. suggestive content (but no smut). ENBY HANGE ENBY HANGE
----------------------
Hange made their way over to their beloved girlfriend, who was waiting by the lockers for them.
“Late night again?” she teased, letting Hange lean down to kiss her head.
“Always.” they grin, opening their locker and shoving unneeded books in before slamming it shut. The pair strolled down the halls hand-in-hand, laughing and teasing each other.
They spent their Physics period flicking small messages across the classroom at each other as they took notes, shooting the occasional smirk or wink at the other before looking back at the whiteboard. The teacher was not oblivious, but had the kind of attitude where if a student chose not to listen, he wouldn’t bother trying to make them learn. So when he saw small white flashes shoot back and forth across the desks, he would only sigh and carry on with his lecture.
It wasn’t long until the bell finally signalled the end of the period, and the young physics teacher let them all join the crowd of students in the corridor with a reminder of their homework. The corridors were flooded with students shoving and running to get to their next lesson, which resulted in our dear Pieck and Hange clinging to the walls for dear life. Panicky teenagers fueled by fear of strict teachers are deadly when running to class.
Dr Addams was a lithe, athletic woman in her mid-thirties who stood at 183 centimetres tall and recently began to teach Biology at Paradis College. She often had her auburn hair pulled into a neat bun atop her small head and wore minimal eyeliner. The current topic was reproduction - the perfect fuel for immature adolescent humour. Or rather, it would be if Dr Addams wasn’t as uptight as she was. As she began to draw diagrams of reproductive systems on the whiteboard, tiny cackles could be heard from different corners of the laboratory. The barely audible laughter was short-lived, however, as she soon turned around with her signature poker face, an intimidating energy surrounding her.
“Please mind that although I have only drawn the male and female reproductive systems, there are six biological sexes. Their sex chromosomes are respectively: X, XX, XY, XXY, XXXY, and XYY. I will not tolerate any of your “There are only two genders” nonsense, so if you would like to say such, I would recommend doing your homework before you open your mouth.” Dr Addams’ piercing eyes swept over the silent classroom, her lip pursed before she began to introduce the roles of either system’s parts.
Hange’s eyes twinkled with admiration at the new Biology teacher, scribbling notes with gusto as they listened intensely. Pieck’s eyes shifted between the teacher and her partner, lips pulled into a small smile as she copied everything Dr Addams went on about. Finally, a teacher who’s an ally. She could be gay. Or trans. Who knows?
At lunch, she and Hange would sit with Levi and Erwin, the student body president and vice president, mostly because she was the student council accountant, just as Hange was the student council secretary. How they managed to snag the position of secretary, Pieck didn’t really know, especially given their disorganised behaviour. However, their creativity and positive demeanour definitely made up for it and had gotten the student council out of some rather troublesome situations.
Pieck didn’t know her other fellow student council members as well as she did Hange or Erwin, especially not Levi, but she tried her best to stay on their good side. Rumours often flew around about which council member was dating who, and enjoyed her place as accountant. Maths and financial responsibility were two things she nearly excelled in, apart from making Hange happy.
It wasn’t long until people began to spread rumours about Hange, Levi and Erwin being in a polyamorous relationship, which Erwin shot down almost instantly. It made Pieck silently chuckle whenever somebody looked at the group strangely during lunch, knowing exactly what thought was bouncing around in their skulls. Hange would often ask her if it made her uncomfortable, to which she would reply “let them think what they want” with a playful grin. In time, the rumour pressed on and the trio’s positions on the Student Council didn’t help their case much. Eventually it got to a point where Floch, a student well-known for being the class clown and bully, went up to their table to pick on them for it.
He slammed his hands on the table looking each of the Council members in the eye, causing heads to snap towards them from all directions. Even students on their way out either watched from where they were standing or silently picked their ways back to their original seats to observe the commotion.
“Is it true, President?” his voice rang strong as he smirked. “Are you and Ackermann Hange’s secret boy toys?”
“How’s it any of your business, Forster? Get back to your seat.” Levi shoots back, his signature glare stabbing into Floch.
“Well, you aren’t denying it, are you?”
Hange leans over to Pieck, kissing her cheek and whispered, “Forgive me for what I’m about to do, ma cherie.” Pieck looks at them quizzically as they straighten themself up and smile. Turning to Levi, they tenderly raise his hand to their lips, pressing them against his knuckles.
“Another round later?” they ask in an almost seductive tone that everyone could pick up on, lips rising into a cheeky grin.
“I’m going to make you scream.” Levi raised and lowered an eyebrow, a barely visible smirk forming as he tugged his blazer off and placed it on the bench next to him. Erwin merely chuckled watching the situation unfold.
Gasps erupt from all over the room. Sure, Levi smiling in any way was a rare occurrence, but him making nearly sexual comments? Nearly anyone would pay to see it.
“Not if I have anything to say about it.” In one fluid motion, Hange’s blazer is off as well.
After a moment of fumbling around his bag, Levi produced exactly what he needed. "One game of Mario Kart. You owe me those expensive tea leaves if you lose." Levi takes a long sip from his thermos and sets it down.
“You fucking gold-digger.” Hange joked. “Fine, you’re on. I expect those encyclopedias on my desk if you lose, though.”
Floch only stares dumbstruck as the pair’s hands move at the speed of light, Hange jerking their Nintendo Switch as though it would somehow help them win.
At the end of the match, Hange throws (it back ofc shawty is thicc /j) their fist in the air, a scream of joy nearly killing everybody's eardrums. Levi scoffs, shutting the game down and shoving his console into his bag.
“You are aware that I’m broke, right?”
“You literally got a job two weeks ago. I also know your last payday was three weeks ago from your old job.” they stare at him with wide, unblinking eyes. “Erwin, will you fund Levi being a sore loser?”
Erwin sighs, chuckling to himself at his friends’ antics. “Of course. Which encyclopedia was it?”

Could we possibly get some goldenrat headcanons in the club tonight? Nsfw headcanons would be cool too if thats ok no pressure.
Of course ! Sorry if it’s not the best, I’m super gay and I don’t have a ton of experience writing nsfw stuff about women
———
SFW:
Nobody really understands their dynamic. They’re not even sure they understand their dynamic sometimes
Charles and Delia are still frequently confused about the whole polyamorous thing but both of them are fine with it as long as everyone’s happy and safe
Adam loves kisses. Obviously, they all love kisses, but Adam lives (?????) for kisses. He’s definitely the most romantically affectionate out of all of them
It’s been said 100 times before but I’ll say it again: BJ is touch starved. He will cherish any and all physical attention he is given. Hugs and cuddles are definitely his favorites, but the Maitlands absolutely love playing with his hair the most. Sometimes he even purrs. Nobody is sure how, but they all think its really cute
The Maitlands constantly pick on BJ and call him names. They usually have something to do with rats. It’s all in good fun though, of course, and BJ thinks it’s funny
Adam is super jumpy and BJ adores it. He’ll find any way to spook Adam as much as he can. Adam obviously isn’t thrilled about it but the look of pure joy on BJ’s face when he’s successful is enough for Adam to put up with it
Sometimes when BJ starts getting overwhelmed he plays with their hands. Adams are his favorite because they’re more textured
Adam and Babs really love animals, but BJ isn’t a huge fan of anything that’s not a rodent, reptile, or amphibian so they settled on getting rats. They have names but nobody ever actually uses them, usually everyone just calls them things like ‘baby’ or ‘meatball’. They are their children and everyone loves them
BJ is secretly obsessed with collecting little things, especially shiny ones. He collects buttons, pretty rocks, lighters, little bones/skulls, and a ton of little shiny things like coins and old nails. Sometimes the Maitlands (especially Babs) will bring him little things they find and it makes his day. He always gives them lots of kisses in return for the gifts
They almost are never seen apart. Even if not directly near each other, they are always withing a room of each other
Sometimes BJ lets Babs dress him up in her clothes and do his makeup. He acts annoyed but he definitely likes it. Both Adam and Babs think its really cute and hot when he’s all dolled up
Babs also is one of the only people (besides Lydia) that can calm BJ down when he goes into sensory overload. Adam tries but he gets really worked up because he never really knows how to help
Sometimes when they all watch movies they end up in a big lump on the couch, almost always with BJ at the bottom. It sounds uncomfortable but they all love it
Even though they’ve been together for a while BJ still swoons when either of the Maitlands enter the room. He blushes and his hair goes a little pink on the ends. Both Adam and Babs think it’s the cutest thing ever
Adam and Babs try to keep BJ’s hygiene in check but he absolutely /hates/ water so it can be difficult. It doesn’t help that strong scents bother him a lot so it’s hard to find soaps he doesn’t mind
The Maitlands absolutely love cuddling with BJ because he’s so fuckin soft. His whole body is like a big pillow and they adore it
NSFW (after the cut):
Babs is a top, Adam is a switch, and BJ is the bottom-est bottom you’ll ever see
Babs is really into being the one in charge. She absolutely loves domming her boys, whether it’s just one or both
BJ likes it rough. /Real/ rough. He never really discussed this with them until one night Babs was pegging him and her nails dug into his hips hard enough to draw blood and he came right then and there
Adam is really into being marked. It doesn’t matter what kind of mark it is, he could spend hours admiring them. One time Babs walked in on him just standing in front of a mirror looking at the marks from the night before and he got so flustered. She thought it was hot and kinda sweet
The smell of Babs perfume and sweat is one of BJ’s favorite scents ever. It’s sweet and musky but not strong and he would bottle it if he could
Babs is a god at aftercare. Maybe its motherly instinct but she will take care of those boys like no other. Cuddles, water, snacks, movies, soft blankets. She will absolutely spoil them
Babs and Adam can spend hours just worshipping BJ’s chub. He never lets it show, but he’s really self-conscious about his body. They smooch him up and give him praise until his hair is bright pink and he’s squirming
There is nothing BJ loves more in the world than both Adam and Babs touching him at once. Especially when one of them is kissing him and the other is kissing up his thighs, stomach, etc
Both the Maitlands love dirty talking BJ. He gets so flustered and desperate, they think it’s so cute and /so fucking hot
BJ is so loud. He will literally never ever shut up, no matter how hard either of the Maitlands try. Even with a dick in his mouth, he’s still loud as fuck
They ended up making it a sort of challenge to see which of them could get him to actually shut up first. It took a long while but Adam ended up winning
He won by catching BJ by surprise, pinning him up against the wall when he wasn’t paying attention and growling /filthy/ things to him. Besides a small yelp, BJ was silent
BJ is just a big slut honestly

TLW Gen Q Episode 6
Spoilers below
So going into this I saw one meme that spoiled one thing but other than that one thing I am not ready for the drama
Oh this is like that one time when Bette had to throw that shitty lady under the bus and that bitch brought up her and Tina's miscarriage.
I would drop out the race to be honest like what can you salvage at this point
What did I say keeping it from Alice was not the right thing to do
I am sure she is having fun with her lil boo
Uncle Shane for the win
Bette fucking her life up yet again because she can't keep her fingers to her damn self, like a kid in a candy store.
Awwww Tina.
You can totally break up with someone be friendly and still be a sense of support for them. To all you baby gays that does not mean talk to your toxic ass ex.
Tess has to go to a meeting asap she def started the steam train but Finn kept that engine fired all the way up.
Oh so they know, mom's always know and Angie has 2.
Tina Kenard despite all the shit that you have done I still fucking love you.
Oh yea that does affect their relationship when she is a PR manager.
Finn also avoids the actual conversation and yes just a lil touch of stupid.
I want all of Dani's outfits for real, please put them on my body and in my closet and God give me the height for it.
This puts a stain on everyones fucking career and their hopes that is why BETTE SHOULD HAVE ENDED THINGS WHEN THEY FUCKING TOLD HER TOO.
I do not feel sorry for Bette right now and 🖕 Felicity.
Dani, just let her drop out of this race please
Chiara is so damn foine like god 😍.
This throuple dynamic is super sweet the PDA was so fucking natural. Ugh god give me more.
Co-parenting from separate states is probably super fucking hard.
I still love tibette and their tit for tat convos. Petty but not wrong at all, Bette really was the breadwinner and took over every fucking thing in that last season.
Yea Tina you should have been there, that is wrong as hell.
Tess and Finley should not have had sex.
Who swims with glasses???
Another reason Fin should not have had sex with Tess because she is still in her emotions about starting to fall for Rebecca.
Oh she is going to confess her feelings and I oop.
Chiara reminds me of my "wife" aka my bestfriend in terms of outfit and stance.
Can my friends kids call me uncle? Please. I really want that for my future...
Angie's eye liner matches her hair that is great.
Shane said go say it with ya chest.
I love Shane and Chiara no cap, awe Chiara giving Shane them I am so in love with you eyes.
Awwww the "I think I love you" 😭😭😭 awww first kisses.
Exactly Shane you are going to make a great Dad for real.
🤣 this throuple is too cute and Gigi is me angry driving, but I love Alice being the rationale middle ground here. This is too freaking cute.
Alice said you are an awful driver lmao.
👀....nvm I can't be mad I have been angry and said some shit like this about an ex.
Tess is working that bar still I see. Also Tess is a snack.
Yea Finley you are being super weird.
Having sex with friends can be safe and not at all awkward.
Ugh she's still off the wagon completely and yea Finley and her do not need to be buddies.
Sophie is super cute.
This is fucking adorable JUST AS FRIENDS btw ⬇️
The bops.
Oh thank god.
☕ Do NOT make someone else your identity. You are an individual who deserves your own life outside of your partner.
Tell your friends you love them.
Lmfao they really are bickering like an old married throuple. That is too cute. OMG the cards 😭.
So let's communicate these feelings and express them healthily. Alice is a great ass listener to be honest when she needs to be. Alice is in it for the long hall sis, your kids call her malice, your ex wife literally ruined your first hook up, and she has not left yet. Sis is in it for the long haul not the uhaul.
I would have dropped out tbh but I do get why she is not. KIT DESERVED BETTER, also they do ask at some ERs but not all. If you are the family of an addict or you are in recovery do tell the nurses of their/your past drug abuse history because they will prescribe you or them opiate pain killers.
😭😭😭😭 ⬇️
Awwww they are all cuddled up with the munchkins awwwww. Yes thankyou a healthy polyamorous relationship 😭.
Aww they sleeping cuddled up and Dani doesn't even bat an eye. I think it's because she trust her fiance completely but I feel like they are setting up for one of them to cheat or the engagement to be broken off. I hate that.
Lmfao she took a breath.
This is a really good speech.
Can y'all please have a fucking conversation, this is what being in a relationship with someone who is super verbally stunted is like. I have been on both sides of that to be honest.
Oop Tina said 🤔
Preview thoughts: Yes more Mama T and B, ooo a date. So should I tell the story about how I walked in on my ex partner having sex with their ex partner in our room and had 0 heads up and I freaked out. Haha don't do that people. Ughhh Dani Dani Dani. Two more episodes 😩
Kit Porter Deserved Better

I want LGBTQ+ Hallmark Christmas movies. Stories where the idea that someone doesnt approve doesn't even exist and we're just focused on the whole small town playing matchmaker. Found Family style stories. Ace folk saving the holiday meal with Friendsgiving stories. Corporate butch lesbian falls in love with small town femme firefighter at the town candlelight festival stories. Two gay people bump into each other, spill their hot chocolate, and fall in love stories. Trans folk coming home as their true selves, save the town holiday parade, and win the heart of their high school crush stories. A Bi person meeting The One when protesting to save the old Christmas Tree park stories. Polyamorous folk bringing the whole family to the Christmas pageant stories.
C'mon, now add some more stories.

“Courtney Act says she’s enjoying an endless “hot girl summer”. Which, for those not initiated into American rap memes, basically means she’s having a damn good time.
“I’m kind of lubed up and ready for Mardi Gras, so to speak,” she says. As Australia’s most famous drag queen, active since the turn of the century, Courtney helped lead the mainstreaming of queer culture in this country along with figures such as Carlotta and Bob Downe.
But being a leader or pioneer doesn’t guarantee being comfortable in your own skin. Courtney says that until recently her understanding of sexuality and gender was actually quite limited. When she was performing, she was a woman, but when she stripped off her make-up, she went back to being Shane Jenek, a man.
“Although I did drag, my masculinity and femininity were compartmentalised in the binary,” Courtney says.
But over the past few years, as public discussion of gender, sexuality and identity has grown, she has discovered things are more complex than your genitals, clothes and hair.
“I think sometimes people think identity has something to do with the wrapping, but really it’s the gift underneath,” she says. “It’s about how you feel. For me, I definitely feel like I occupy masculine and feminine qualities.”
Courtney explores this journey in her pop-cabaret show, Fluid, showing this week at the Eternity Playhouse in Darlinghurst as part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival. It’s a change of pace for her after focusing on television in recent years; first by winning Britain’s Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, then as the runner-up (with Joshua Keefe) on last year’s Australian Dancing with the Stars.
It’s also a far cry from her humble beginnings in the DIY world of drag, which has never been regarded as high art but remains a staple of gay bars and culture worldwide.
“There’s a lot less hot glue and sticky tape in this show, which makes it feel a lot more professional,” Courtney says of Fluid. “I don’t know if that will hold until opening night.”
Set to original music, Fluid was written by Shane and American comedian Brad Loekle. For the most part it’s a one-woman show, with some help from a ballroom dancer in the second half. (“It’d be weird doing a ballroom dance by yourself,” she says.)
The show acknowledges that, more than ever, people are being flooded with “ever-changing and flowing ideas of who we are, what we are and what we might become”.
This is something we should embrace, says Courtney. “We change our clothes every day – we change our hairstyles, we change our jobs. Everything is constantly in motion and constantly fluid. But we have this idea that our identities are fixed. When we look at our lives they’re actually a lot more fluid than we think.”
Courtney, or Shane, doesn’t identify as trans but has said that seeing more transgender people represented in the media was liberating and allowed her to explore her own doubts about gender. She’s previously been described as “gender fluid, pansexual and polyamorous”, although she no longer embraces those labels as she once did.
“They all work,” says Courtney, who prefers to identify as “just generally queer” these days. “It’s funny … so many of our groups identify so strongly with labels and they’re so important to us. I kind of feel less attached to those labels.”
She also understands why some people might feel confused, or even confronted, by the politics of queer identification. The acronym LGBTQIA+, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and others, has expanded over the years to the point that some critics deride it as “alphabet soup”. Even those who are part of the community can be intolerant.
“I get that LGBTIQA+ is a little cumbersome from a marketing standpoint,” says Courtney. “But if you find yourself with the time to complain and be confused by a few extra letters, then you’re one of the lucky ones. If there are people that get to understand themselves more because of a letter in an acronym, I’m all for it.”
“I definitely feel like I occupy masculine and feminine qualities.”
Courtney casts a sceptical eye over everything, including the rise of cancel culture, a predominantly left-wing phenomenon which argues that anyone who says or does something deemed to be racist, sexist, homophobic or in any way offensive should be called out, shamed and, preferably, silenced.
Lamenting the state of political discourse while appearing on the ABC’s Matter of Fact program last year, she said: “The volume’s too loud now and everybody’s yelling.” While history showed that people sometimes need to raise their voices, “when you actually sit down opposite someone and have a conversation with them, you get so much further”.
How, then, does Courtney view the debate over religious freedom that has raged ever since Australians voted to legalise same-sex marriage in 2017? She says it’s clear that sometimes people, especially older white males, perceive other people gaining rights as a threat to their own. She says religion can be a lost cause because it is, by definition, about faith rather than rational argument. Still, queer people have to make the effort to engage.
“The way to do that is to get people to picture themselves in other people’s experiences. That’s the only way you can foster that empathy.
“Rather than yelling aggressively back at the people trying to oppress us, I think the most important thing to do is to share our stories.”
Another thing you can do, of course, is march. This weekend, Mardi Gras culminates in the annual parade up Oxford Street, which will feature more than 200 floats and 10,000 marchers. For the first time, Courtney will co-host the coverage on SBS with comedians Joel Creasey and Zoe Coombs Marr, and Studio 10 presenter Narelda Jacobs.
She had something of a practice run hosting the coverage on Foxtel some years ago. “I saw a clip of it the other day,” she says. “And I’m definitely hoping to redeem myself.”
As a character, Courtney has been on the gay scene for about 20 years. The person behind the facade, Shane, turned 38 last week. He grew up in Brisbane and remembers watching the parade on television as a teenager in the 1990s, huddled up close to the TV so he could quickly switch it off
if his parents came downstairs.
Shane came to Sydney when he was 18 and attended his first Mardi Gras. “I just remember it was such a melting pot of people,” he says. “It was the first time I really understood what a community was: that there were all these different parts, and we all faced different challenges and struggles.”
But even then, Shane says he failed to really comprehend about what Mardi Gras was all about. Just like many heterosexual critics over the years, as a young man he gawked at the giant dancing penises, fetish-wear and nudity and wondered: why?
“I remember thinking: why can’t they just be normal?” Shane says. “Have your parade, but why does it have to be about sex and penises? Because I had shame about all of those things. I realise now that the parade’s brash display of sexuality liberates the shame … it���s a really radical way to shake people and say there’s nothing wrong with sexuality – not just homosexuality but sexuality in general.”
The queer community has given Shane a lot: acceptance, identity, a career and fame. It has taken him to Los Angeles, where he was based for some years until 2018, and now to his new home in London.
Love, on the other hand, remains elusive. He is “on the rebound” at the moment, though eternally optimistic. “It’s Mardi Gras time, it’s summer in Sydney, I think this is the perfect time to be single. Maybe I’ll find love under a disco ball at the after-party.”
Incredibly, at 38, Shane is about to attend his first ever wedding, straight or gay – his friend Tim is marrying his partner Ben. It is set to be a baptism of fire. “They have asked my ex-boyfriend and me to give the best man’s speech together, which could be slightly sadistic,” he says.
Shane is still adjusting to the relatively new world of same-sex marriage. It’s not for everyone – many queers still think of it as a conservative and unnecessary institution – but it’s growing on him. “Weirdly, seeing all these people get married, I feel like my cold heart has melted a bit,” he says. “I think there’s something really beautiful about marriage.”
It’s a reminder of why events like the Mardi Gras are still so important – a celebration of diversity at the same time as the old divisions between straight and gay are knocked down. As well as marriage, this can manifest in small shifts, like the politics of Bondi Beach.
“I was at North Bondi on Saturday [and] it was surprisingly unlike North Bondi,” Shane says. “It was all families and those banana umbrella things. I was like, ‘Oh, I remember when this used to be [gay nightclub] ARQ, but with more light.’"
“I guess that’s the progress we fought for – the families are happy occupying the gay beaches now.”

OC Interview: Mervina Moon
(Year two; she’s still so young dgfhjk)
name ➔ “Mervina Moon.” a simple answer to a simple question. However, a sheepish smile escapes her. “That’s all.” although very polite, her nervousness shows itself too easily.
are you single ➔ Nervousness turns to confusion to suspicion quickly. She can’t hide her frown, nervous smile crooked. “Why do you want to know?” uncomfortable to say the least. But alas, she composes herself. “But yes, I am. I’m still very young you know? For relationships I mean.”
are you happy ➔ “What do you mean? Like right now? Generally? With my life? That’s too vague. I’m more confused than anything, really.”
are you angry ➔ “No... I wouldn’t say so.” her tones suggests that she could easily be angry but she’s really not, so. “Again, just confused.”
are your parents still married ➔ The change in her mood is almost palpable, from her dark frown to her (glowing?) golden eyes and general posture. She’s poised like she’s ready to pounce on her prey. Touchy subject. “...no. My father can go to hell.”
---
NINE FACTS
birthplace ➔ “South Korea actually!” she perks up immediately. Drastic changing in moods seems to be her trademark. “But for very little time. We moved here to England when I was months old.” there’s an ever present smile on her face. “I have many muggle friends from where I live.”
hair color ➔ “White! Not pure white though. That’s my father’s trait.” with the mention of her father she darkens with a sneer on her lips.
eye color ➔ There’s a deep intake of air before her answer. “Golden yellow. My mother’s trait.” she’s warm now and talking about her mother seems to bring a sort of comfortable feeling over Mervina.
birthday ➔ “September 19th!” there’s a spring in her voice. She’s not as uncomfortable now as she was at the start of the interview.
mood ➔ Confusion wrinkles her brows again. “What does that mean?! I- Well, I guess I’m fine right now.” a tilt in her voice at the end makes her statement sound like a question.
gender ➔ “I’m a female.”
summer or winter ➔ “Oh, winter for sure! Summer is too hot and annoying and suffocating! At least in the winter you can choke yourself in as many sweaters and beanies and scarfs that no one will judge you! Also, great time for cuddles.” she finger guns the interviewer cheekily, with a wink.
morning or afternoon ➔ “Not sure. It really depends on the day. Some days I want to sleep for three years straight and others I want to wake up early to get shit done. So... I don’t know.”
---
EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE
are you in love ➔ “I- Well...” with her pale complexion, blushing can’t ever be a secret. She’s beet red. “I wouldn’t really say I’m in love. Just. Crushing, I guess.” she’s tense, tense, tense now. It’s very amusing.
do you believe in love at first sight ➔ She takes her time considering it. “Well... I’ve never experienced it. And I’ve never seen it really happen with my own two eyes. And people say ‘seeing is believing’, right? So, at this moment, I don’t really believe it. But it’s an attractive concept, isn’t it? Despite being polyamorous, I can admit that it would make life much easier if it’s true. You see them and you know they’re the one. Easy peesy lemon squeesy.”
who ended your last relationship ➔ “Didn’t have one before this. So no one. Even though there was this girl that I confessed to and she said ‘Thanks but no.’” there’s an awkward pause. “We weren’t dating, duh, but it still stung.”
have you ever broken someone’s heart ➔ “Yes. A friend of a friend. He was annoying and knew I was gay but didn’t care, so I also didn’t care when he cried right after I rejected him.” she presents herself as calm but there’s a storm inside her, trashing around and making itself known in moments like these. When she’s merciless.
are you afraid of commitments ➔ “Not really. If I care about the person than I commit to it. There’s no point in saying we care for each other if we don’t commit to it.”
have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ “Yes! Rowan! I hug her everyday basically.” her eyes are soft and sweet, like honey. “She’s amazing... And gives excellent hugs!”
have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ She can’t help the incredulous laugh that escapes her. If she was confused before, she’s the definition of it now. ”What?! What a dumb question! That’s their whole deal: being a secret? So no I don’t think I have one. Who would even do that with me?”
have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ All her happiness fades away quickly upon hearing the question. There’s a sort of guilt evident in her posture when she starts to fiddle with her fingers. She’s quiet. “If by that you mean that I’ve disappointed myself so hard that I felt it break with every fiber of my being, making me miserable and disgusted with myself for a lot of years to come?” there’s a pause, a heavy one that sits on Mervina, making her back hunched over. “Then yeah, I have broken my own heart.” her back's almost straight again but she’s allergic to eye contact for the time being. “I was a child though. And we all make mistakes. Next question.”
---
SIX CHOICES
love or lust ➔ “Uh... love, obviously. If one day I have a girlfriend that doesn’t want to do the woo-hoo I would be fine with it. More time to cuddle! It’s a win-win situation!”
lemonade or iced tea ➔ “Oh lemonade, duh. Iced tea is disgusting.”
cats or dogs ➔ “Cats. I love cats.” there’s a big smile on her face when she answers.
a few best friends or many regular friends ➔ “A few bestfriends I suppose. Even though many regular friends is not a foreign concept to me so...”
wild night out or romantic night in ➔ “Romantic night in. If there’s something that I love is staying in and hang out with my besties, making fun of dumb movies and such...”
day or night ➔ “Night. I’m a night owl.”
---
FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS
been caught sneaking out ➔ She’s smug when she answers. “Nope. I’m very sneaky.” she ends the phrase with a wiggles of her eyebrows.
fallen down/up the stairs ➔ Her face is neutral for some time. However, it doesn’t take long for her cheeks to color bashfully. “It- It was one time, okay? ONE TI-”
wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ She inhales deeply before answering. “Yes. I guess I have. Or do actually.”
wanted to disappear ➔ “Yes. Won’t elaborate more on the matter.” she’s tense once more, her tone clipped.
---
FOUR PREFERENCES
smile or eyes ➔ “Eyes. I find it beautiful how our eyes reflect us and eyes in general just can’t not be gorgeous.”
shorter or taller ➔ “Shorter.” she declares, full of playful spite. “But taller isn’t a crime, so whatever.”
intelligence or attraction ➔ “Intelligence. You can get out of every situation if you’re clever enough.”
hook-up or relationship ➔ “I would say relationship but I’ve never tried a hook-up so I don’t know yet.” she shrugs, clearly relaxed with the topic.
---
FAMILY
do you and your family get along ➔ “I love my mother, I’d die for her and she for me in a heartbeat. I still love my brother but... y’know, stuff.” she’s distant until she refers to the last member of her family. When talking about him, she’s dangerous. “My father could have his ashes thrown into the ocean and I’d still swim in it happily. I could feed him to the dogs and I’d pet them with my father’s guts on their teeth. I’d kill him myself if it wasn’t a crime. My mum would be worried sick if I got arrested.” she’s not scared of death. Not at all. “I guess you have my answer on that one. I’m not close with the rest of my family, my father’s side being a bunch of motherfuckers and my mother’s side residing in South Korea.”
would you say you have a “messed up life” ➔ “No. It’s not perfect but it’s still a very good life. Lots of people have it worse than me.”
have you ever ran away from home ➔ She cackles once but her eyes are sharp. “No. Wouldn’t give the satisfaction to my father. I’m never leaving my mother’s side. Ever.”
have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ Her eyes stay sharp. “My father wished he could do that but he knows I’d claw him if he tried. Me and Jacob and mum.”
---
FRIENDS
do you secretly hate one of your friends ➔ These questions never fail to confuse her. “No? Why would I be friends with somebody I hate? Sounds dumb and unnecessary.”
do you consider all of your friends good friends ➔ “Of course! They’re all amazing and I love them! I think the same for people who aren’t even my friends!” she’s sheepish and shy after her confession.
who is your best friend ➔ She exhales for a long second. “Well, my childhood bestfriends are actually both first years here at Hogwarts. Ayo Zadkiel and Blaise Antoine. But Rowan is there too of course. Just need to find a way for them to meet with all of our busy schedules...” she gets on her own head for awhile, debating her issue.
who knows everything about you ➔ “My mum, definitely. My two bestfriends too. Rowan is close. Very close...” she’s quiet until she realizes this is the last question. “Oh shit! Well, it was a good chat and I hope you have a good day. Goodbye!”

Fanfiction Reader Tag
Tagged by @eyeliner-vampire ♡ ♡
Fanfiction Reader Tag!
1. When did you start reading Fanfic (How old you were or how long ago)?
When I was probably...11 ish? so like 13 years ago
2. Do you have an AO3 account?
Yeh (LadyWisteria)
3. Do you read WIP (work in progress)? Why or why not?
All the time. I’m not picky about this at all. I’m a simple person. I see fic I think I’ll like? I read. doesn’t matter if it’s finished or not. I’ll make up my own ending til it is lol. also authors need that encouragement. finishing stuff is hard
4. What time of day is your ‘fic reading time’?
Usually late at night (like 1 a.m. and later..much later) but sometimes I’ll waste an afternoon instead (2 p.m. ish til I either have to go to work or I finish the fic)
5. How much time do you spend reading fic per week?
Not remotely as much time as I used, that’s for sure. Anywhere from an hour (if I’m rereading That favorite fic) to 2-4 hours if my friend has sent me a longfic again.
6. Do you listen to podfic (fanfic recorded like an audiobook)?
I...didn’t even know this was a thing tbh, so no. Sounds very neat but also I don’t listen to audio books anymore bcus my attention span re: audio input has gotten so bad over the years I can’t focus for more than a few minutes.
7. What’s your favorite fic genre to read?
AUs AUs AUs. and fantasy. and fantasy AUs (although good long AU fics are harder to find). I am a very simple person. I see magic mentioned, I read. I also read a lot of romance fic (proving once again that fanfic writing is often better than mainstream original writing, bcus romance is one of my least favorite YA/movie genres). I don’t read as much of them but I also love mystery and paranormal fics
8. Are there any genres that you tend to avoid?
Super angsty no happy ending type stuff. “Major Character Death” is an automatic nope lmao (unless the summary looks reaallyyy interesting or it was recc’d to me). Tragedy is definitely Not my thing
9. What tag(s) do you track?
I don’t track any fic tags (I stopped tracking tags at all since Tumblr changed it from “keeping track of new posts in said tag” to “dropping random posts from that tag into the middle of your dash, and usually the same three”)
10. How do you find new fic?
Nowadays I mostly just read what friends send me or the new stuff a very few writers I follow post, but sometimes I also come across stuff through Twitter or Tumblr and curiosity wins out
11. How do you organize your fic bookmarks?
I..don’t? Is this a thing people do?? If I wanna reread something I either search through my bookmarks by title/author or just. filter by fandom.
12. Do you subscribe to authors or stories?
Yeh. I only keep up with a very select few of them though. altho part of that is due to several of them being people I followed on fanfic.net years and years ago and never unfollowed, even though our interests may no longer be the same. (the other part is me going “oh I’ll read that later” and then just. never doing it.)
13. What is your favorite fanfic trope?
fake dating and bed sharing are always good
everyone is gay. also Good
14. What kind of plot line are you always here for?
“everything’s the same but they’re soulmates” (oh my god they were soulmates)
mafia AU
MAGIC
I really like in-between scene fics too. the events and character interactions that happen off-screen. I like writing those
15. What can an author do to make you love them?
write about my faves frequently
cool AUs
write about minor characters
good sense of humor
16. What can an author do to make you avoid them?
not into mpreg fics
a/b/o fics make me super wary I usually pass on those, even if the summary looks mildly interesting. they’re rarely if ever done in a way that isn’t rapey and gross
don’t care for fics period that have rapey scenes but you’re supposed to find them romantic
adult/minor ships
characterization is a big deal to me so if I don’t like how they handle the characters, especially faves I probably won’t be back
17. What do kudos mean to you?
when I get one I have a few seconds of “oh someone kinda liked this thing I wrote” and then I carry on about my day >.>;;; (I do appreciate them tho)
18. What kind of commenter are you (No comment, short comment, keyboard smash)?
I don’t comment as often as I mean to or wish I did, but when I do they’re loong comments (I’ve passed the AO3 character limit at least once kshg)
I tend to quote favorite parts and then react to them, and I like to theorize and ask questions about character’s thoughts at a certain part or what author imagines happens before/after the fic
19. Have you ever stopped reading a fic? Why or why not?
Yes. Once because I stumbled into a very sexually explicit fic when that was. Not at all what I was expecting (I was also very young lol), I think there was a very few I quit because they were boring or very poorly written, but most often I “quit” a fic for the same reason I don’t do audio books anymore lmao: because my attention span is sht and my motivation and commitment are extremely fickle things. I either forget or just wander away for a bit and then forget. Often I mean to come back and finish it; it’s just a matter of how long it takes. (I also second hand embarrassed out of a fic so hardcore that it’s been a whole 9 months since I’ve touched it khdfgd)
20. Have you ever read a fic more than once? What is it about that fic that makes you want to read it again?
YES. This requires like a minimum 4 separate posts to really answer but:
Behind Bricks and The Penance of a Killer by Deathbelle
this person is my fricking favorite author ever and these are two of my fricking favorite fics ever, I must’ve reread Behind Bricks 6 or 8 times now and Penance is the BokuAka-centric companion piece to my favorite fic of all time that I always wanted
Mending Bonds and If the Heart Breaks, Does That Mean There’s No Home? by RussianSunflower3
Mending Bonds is soft found family fluff centering on a very minor fave of mine and If the Heart Breaks is very angsty found family fluff that also focuses on some minor characters and it always hurts my heart but the ending and the soft middle always heal it right back up (“[Hanamaki] has a heart big enough for everyone in the world, and then some.” ohhhh my godd)
Boiled Frogs by ReginaGalaxia
this one is. a really hard read centered around emotional abuse and manipulation and hoooo boy it is a rough read especially if you’ve experienced any of that personally but it’s so well written and the character dynamics are great and in its lighter moments it’s fricking hilarious.
(bits and pieces of) The Roost by Ugglabarn
bits and pieces only bcus Roost has a lot of very heavy dark content that I’d have to be in a specific mood to reread the whole thing because it hurts my heart way too much but also it’s one of the best Fukurodani-centric longfics I’ve ever read (PLUS AN AU..!!) and I love love how they write the characters and how much focus there is on the minor members and ships and in its lighter moments Roost is also really funny the most recent chapter was hilarious
Expensive Hotel by Crown_of_Winterthorne
smut. explicit smut. excellent explicit smut with loving polyamorous boyfriends and plenty of consent discussion and kissing. my entire jam right there
Class 1-A Whomst? by Ya_Boi_Hal
this is the funniest chatfic I’ve ever read in my life and the first good chatfic I ever read. absolutely hysterical. also has some really good serious content in the middle and some Aizawa dialogue that punched me right in the feels. 12/10 will read again. sometimes I just randomly say “Mineta whomst??” and cackle to myself
and back in the day it was:
The Flame of Betrayal by DataIntegrationThoughtEntity
I guess traitor! Tahu was a popular trope back when Bionicle fandom was at its peak?? and not everyone liked it apparently but I enjoyed this fic greatly every time I read it it was well written and had interesting OCs and I am actually highly tempted to go reread it again
and Asleep Beneath a Wheat Field by Feline Freak
this was a very peculiar little OC-centric one shot that was also very sad and I don’t know why it grabbed me like it did but I remember rereading it 3 or 4 times at least
21. Do you like sequels?
The fics I like don’t usually come with sequels but The Penance of a Killer is one so Yes
22. Do you like dabbles?
I guess? I haven’t read too many I don’t think but hey, more fic is more fic. Who’s gonna complain about that?
23. What do you wish more fic authors would do?
Write about minor characters more
24. What do you wish more authors would stop doing?
that thing where they latch onto one facet of a character’s personality - or worse, one that fandom made up - and write them as if that’s the only trait they have
25. Do you like one-shots or multi-chapter?
Multi-chapter. I mean both are great obviously but the majority of my faves are multi-chapter and obviously if I like a fic I’m gonna wanna spend as much time in that universe as possible
26. How long do you like chapters to be?
Usually I feel the longer the better. once in a while I’ll hit one that’s so long it’s kind of distracting but extremely rarely
27. What’s your favorite POV (point of view) to read (first, second, third)?
Third
28. What do you think of OC’s?
I didn’t use to care for them very much but as I started reading fic by more advanced writers I found several I really liked. have a very small list of OCs from recent fics I’ve read I would actually kill a man for I love them so much
29. Do you download fic?
No, but seeing as my absolute favorite Bionicle fic vanished off the face of the earth several years ago and I cannot find anything about it an y wh ere sometimes I think about saving my faves. I never got to finish reading that fic and I am absolutely devastated every time I think about it.
30. Tell me something else about your fic reading! Anything else!
best thing is when my friend and I buddy read a fic and send each other our favorite parts
Tag!

Fic: What’s in a Name?
Relationship: Castiel/Dean Winchester
Word count: 2,500
Square filled: Poly fic (#15) for @spnfluffbingo
Written for day #22 of @notfunnydean ’s advent calendar “Rocking around the Christmas tree”
Summary: Dean is a ballroom dancer who can't find a date. His brother is a ballroom dancer in a happy polyamorous relationship. Castiel is a journalist writing about a ballroom dancing Christmas competition. Things get complicated. Read it on Ao3
--
Dean knew very well that most people didn’t consider competitive ballroom dancing to be a very manly sport. Hell, most people didn’t even consider it to be a sport at all. Dean had made his peace with it a long time ago, and frankly he didn’t care too much what people thought anyway.
Well he did care a little bit. But only in the way it affected his dating life. Because believe it or not, but most women he would be interested in thought he was gay, and most men he would be interested in thought he was dating his dancing partner. As neither of those statement was true, it made Dean’s little bisexual heart pretty lonely.
What was the most unfair of all though, was that Sam, who’d been ballroom dancing almost as long as Dean, did not have this problem at all. Actually dating your dancing partner did that to someone. And that option wasn’t even available to Dean, because Sam had the audacity to also be dating Dean’s partner. Dean was well aware there wasn’t anything dubious about it; they’d explained their polyamorous thing to him when they’d started it, and what the three of them had honestly seemed awesome, but still. It was very unfair that Dean had to be alone and his brother dated two awesome chicks. (Well, one awesome chick and Ruby.)
So Dean resolved to focus all of his attention on dancing. And more precisely, on dancing for the Rocking Around the Christmas Tree holidays competition that took place every year in December.
As much as ballroom dancing was the Winchester family business, the RACT—as it was easier to call it—had been their nemesis. Dean and Sam had both failed in the semis numerous times, and their parents, who’d been ballroom dancing state champions in their time, had also never managed to bag that one. It was during a RACT final that Grandpa Campbell had broken his toe back in the sixties, barring him from dancing for several months afterwards.
Needless to say, the stakes were high. Dean insisted on doubling the number of training sessions in preparation for the RACT, and he could feel Jo hating him for it a little bit. But Dean wanted to win, and he didn’t care that Sam and Ruby weren’t as invested in the competition, and that he encroached on the fun times Jo could have with them. They had a chance to win, and even though it didn’t mean as much to Jo as it did Dean, they had to try.
But the point was: Dean was good, he really was, and he and Jo had progressed a lot during this last year. Dean sincerely thought that if they didn’t win the RACT this year, they never would. Sam was good too, but Dean and Jo had always ranked a bit better than Sam and Ruby, so he didn’t really worry about this competition. Dean even sometimes thought of himself as the Serena to Sam’s Venus, but the analogy only worked so far: one, Dean was good at dancing but not as good as Serena was at tennis, and two, the public for ballroom dancing competitions was rather confidential, so nobody actually knew who they were, making it a rather moot point.
Winning this thing was right now the most—the only—important thing in Dean’s life, but nobody but the true ballroom dancing aficionados actually cared at all.
Which was why it was such a fucking surprise to find a bona fide journalist there one day before the beginning of the RACT. Not just a student working for his college newspaper or an old lady who would send her impression of the competition to her local rag to be published. No, this guy had the credentials for a national newspaper, and seemed to be interested specifically in the Winchester brothers’ performances.
He was a real journalist, and a good looking one too. Dark hair and clear eyes, and Dean was struck. It might not be true, but in this one instant, Dean felt like he had never seen a man so pretty before.
“Hello, Mr. Winchester. Would you have the time to answer a few questions?” the man asked, with a deep gruff voice Dean felt like drowning in.
Dean was so stunned to have someone so beautiful ask him for an interview, that he gaped for a good thirty seconds before he remembered to actually answer the question.
“Yeah, sure. Why not. I can answer a few questions,” he managed to say sufficiently intelligibly that the journalist nodded and got out notebook and pen.
“How long have and your brother been performing in ballroom dancing competitions?” The man asked pretty dryly.
All right, so this was very obviously an assignment he had not asked for. But what was Dean thinking? No journo worth their while would ask to cover a Christmas-themed ballroom dancing competition in the middle of Kansas.
“Um, we’ve been dancing ever since we were kids, and started competing right when we reached the legal entering age,” said Dean. “I’ve been dancing with Jo from the beginning, and Sam has been dancing with Ruby for about five years now.”
“How many times have you failed to win the Rocking Around the Christmas Tree competition?”
“Wow. Thanks for that. What did you lose to have to come cover this competition?” Dean generally tried not to be rude, but his stance was that if the other person was rude first, it was completely justified.
The journalist seemed a bit taken aback by Dean’s intensity, then after a pause when he obviously realized what he’d just sounded like, began again, “I apologize. I am used to interviewing hostile politicians with whom you have to get to the point fast or risk never getting answers. This kind of…interest piece is a first for me.”
The guy looked genuinely sorry, so Dean decided to give him a break. “All right. Let’s do it over. I am a bit disappointed you’re not a big wig sportscaster, but I can work with an interest piece, I guess.”
“So, er…I know you have a history with this particular competition. Would you like to talk a bit about it?”
That was way better. Dean smiled his most charming smile while answering, and hoped it wasn’t too obvious how much he wanted this guy to take him out and call him sweet names, then make sweet love to him.
They talked for a while, and it went well, better than that really. By the time Dean needed to get back to his training, it didn’t even feel like an interview anymore.
Dean had learnt that the journalist’s name was Castiel (but he’d already decided in his head that he would be calling him Cas) and that he was coming from out east for a new column in his newspaper that was supposed to draw better pictures of “forgotten America”. It sounded a little bit like crap, but Cas was just so genuine about it and about doing justice to people that weren’t always given a voice, that Dean couldn’t help but being charmed.
They’d agreed to continue the conversation around a cup of coffee after Dean was finished with rehearsal, and Cas even stayed to watch while Dean and Jo started practicing their dance routine. Dean could feel his gaze on them the whole time. At one point Cas even got a camera out. Dean couldn’t help but feel more self-conscious about his sweat and the general unkempt air he knew he had during training.
Jo, if her smug look was anything to go by, was obviously well aware of what was going on. Dean was tempted to make her pay for it, but so close to the RACT, he couldn’t afford to antagonize her (even if she didn’t mind antagonizing him).
After they’d done their routine enough times that Dean was satisfied (for now), he went directly under the shower, scrubbing himself thoroughly and maybe taking a little more time than necessary on arranging his hair.
When he got back in the main room, Cas was interviewing Jo. And, all right, that was fair. His article wasn’t supposed to be entirely on Dean, it was normal that he would interview Jo too. They were a team, and even if Dean was a bit of a control freak, they participated equally in any of their successes or losses.
Dean noticed pretty smugly though that Cas didn’t look at Jo the in the same captivated way that he had looked at Dean. Dean waited for Cas to be finished, far enough that he couldn’t eavesdrop on them, but still was deadly curious about what Jo was telling him and whether it involved Dean.
Dean felt pretty excited and confident with his not-a-date-but-still-kind-of-a-date with Cas, but when Cas came towards him once he had finished with Jo, he had traded his nice smile for a thoughtful frown.
“Listen, Dean, I am not sure coffee was such a good idea. I have to focus on my article, and it would be detrimental to it if I got too close to its subjects,” Cas blurted out in one breath before getting out, not even leaving Dean the time to answer.
Dean felt like the floor had opened up beneath his feet. He’d been so sure there was a spark there between him and Cas, and yet… What the hell had happened between their earlier conversation and now for Cas to have so completely changed his mind about Dean?
He asked Jo if she had said anything unsavory about him, but she swore she had not uttered his name once during her conversation with Cas.
Dean spent most of the afternoon, and the evening, and the night thinking about Cas and what could have gone wrong. When he hadn’t found an answer the next day—and as he was fucking tired from tossing and turning all night—he decided to let it go. This wasn’t the first time one of his crushes had gone to shit. He was used to disappointment in the matter of the heart, and why should this one be any different? He had a competition to focus on, and most importantly to win.
Cas was just some guy who would leave for his fancy east-coast job sooner rather than later, and even if the coffee-date had happened, it certainly would have lead nowhere anyway.
Dean unilaterally decided to stop thinking about Cas. There was some dancing to do.
It was, unfortunately, a way easier thing said than done. Because Cas was a diligent journalist, and of course he wouldn’t miss one minute of the competition. Dean could see him in the audience every time he glanced towards them, and it definitely didn’t help his stress levels.
They did manage to win their quarter final though, and when it was announced that the semis would be against Sam and Ruby, Dean knew that if he didn’t clear the air with Cas, he would never be able to concentrate enough to beat his brother.
(He may well pretend to be the Serena to Sam’s Venus, but he was always more stressed about competing directly against Sam because there was a part of him that wanted his little brother to win too.)
So before he could discuss strategy with Jo, for whom being against Sam and Ruby was even worse given her relationship with them, he turned around and started to make his way towards the spot he’d spied Cas last.
But before he could go very far, Cas was in front of him with a look on his face very different from the cultivated indifference he’d seen for the last few days.
“Dean,” Cas said before Dean could say anything. In Cas’s mouth, Dean’s name sounded like a revelation and Dean realized that it was actually the first time Cas had spoken his name. Dean expected Cas to go on, say what he had to say, but all he did was repeat himself. “Dean,” he said once more, with even more awe in his voice.
There was definitely something beyond Dean’s understanding going on here.
“Uh, yeah, that’s my name. What’s up with you, Cas?”
“I…have a confession to make,” Cas said, his eyes down. “I might have made a terrible mistake.”
“I don’t understand—” Dean started before Cas cut him off.
“I thought you were Sam.”
“What? I don’t understand…” Dean trailed of. This didn’t make sense. How could Cas think he was Sam? Wasn’t he supposed to be writing an article on them? How could he not know their identity?
“I—ah. I am bad with names and I knew you were one of the Winchester brothers, but I didn’t know which. But when I talked with Jo and she kept gushing about Sam, I’d naturally concluded that being your partner, it would be you she was talking about. She was also hinting at being in a relationship with Sam, and because I knew your brother was dating his partner, there was no doubt in my mind that you were with Jo and…well. I felt a bit disappointed and even angry that you would flirt with me so blatantly if you were in a relationship... And so far in the competition, they only used your family names each time, and it is only now that you’ll be competing against each other that they said your first names and that I realized how dire my mistake has been…”
This was a lot to take in, and Dean wasn’t sure the few seconds it took Cas to word-vomit it all would be enough. When he thought about it though, it was true that Cas had only called him Mr. Winchester at the beginning of their interview, and Dean hadn’t actually taken the time to fucking introduce himself. And Jo seemingly had been telling the truth when she said she hadn’t spoken a word about Dean to Cas, which had actually created the problem in the first place. Screw his brother and his perfect relationship that none of the outside world seem to really comprehend.
“I can’t believe it,” Dean finally said. “You thought…you thought I was—”
“I thought you were taken,” Cas interrupted, and Dean definitely could get used to such forwardness. “So, if you’re able to forgive me for withdrawing from that coffee date… I would like it if we could start over.”
Dean didn’t know he could be so relieved to be hearing these words from Cas. He’d tried to pretend he didn’t care, but he hadn’t fooled even himself. Knowing he had a chance with Cas after all was everything.
“You know, this isn’t the first time we’ve had to start over, but I’ll definitely allow it,” Dean said, feeling his smile pulling at his cheeks. “So when are you free for that coffee?”
“Whenever you are,” Cas answered, and Dean could tell this was not just a line.
“All right. I’ll win this thing and I’m all yours.”
And because Cas looked at him like he believed in Dean so much, Dean did too. He would definitely win that thing. Looking at Cas’s smile, he already felt like he had.

International Women’s Day has been around for a long time. But back in the early 1900s, “National Woman’s Day” or simply “Women’s Day,” as it was then called, was actually political! Bo-ring. Originally established by socialist groups, IWD was a strategy used to demand women be granted the right to vote and hold office. Today, women vote all the time and love offices, so, naturally, IWD has had to join the 21st century along with these modern ladies. Many of you are probably at a loss as to how to celebrate this day in the most hip and current way possible, without falling into the old-fashioned trap of focusing too much on your uterus (yuck!). Here are some ideas:
1) Love yourself.
I mean literally! It may surprise you to learn that, in a time wherein attention-seeking, self-obsessed, fragile little babies who literally die any time their feelings, opinions, sexual proclivities, and tweets aren’t validated rule politics, pop culture, and social media, “autosexuality” is a thing. That’s right! Rather than spending time building rewarding and meaningful relationships with other people, you can actually just masturbate to yourself.
One Medium user named Ghia Vitale — a “poet, relationship anarchist, polyamorous witch, and feminist punk” (wouldn’t you just die to be that interesting?) — explains, “I don’t just love myself. I’m in love with myself.” She first discovered her very special and unique sexual identity when she stepped out of the shower and found herself “very attracted to the sight.” Once she found yet another term to describe how much more interesting and unique she is than you — “relationship anarchy” — Ghia was off to the races! “Relationship anarchy” means you are allowed to have relationships with all sorts of people. Other people call this “having friends an also sometimes having intimate partners,” but those people are prudes.
When you’re an autosexual, regular activities like buying a coffee or sitting on the couch become sexy dates! To clarify, being an autosexual doesn’t mean you are only attracted to yourself and don’t date other people, it just means you’ve found a way to turn your narcissism into a sexual identity that qualifies you as an oppressed minority who needs special validation and attention.
I hope that one day autosexuals will win the right to vote and go to offices, but until then, we must use IWD as an opportunity to fight for them!
2) Celebrate your femmeness.
You might identify as a woman, but I hope not. Unless they are men, women are very dull! A fun (and, again, sexy) way to spice things up is to identify not as a “woman,” but as a “femme.” The dictionary defines femme as “a woman,” but the dictionary hasn’t taken a gender studies class and is therefore pretty unreliable. To help me understand, I sought out the feminist bible, Bustle, which offered a much more elaborate explanation. The author, Gina Tonic (why my parents didn’t name me Meghan Prosecco I will never know), rightly acknowledges that “many folks outside of the queer scene don’t fully understand what femme means or recognize its distinct differences from feminine.” Gina puts it in plain language:
“To put it simply, “femme” is a descriptor for a queer person who presents and acts in a traditionally feminine manner, as explained by feminist media site Autostraddle. This might be a cis pillow princess, like myself, an asexual trans woman, or a gay non-binary individual, but all femmes hit upon two key aesthetic and identity-related traits: Being feminine and falling somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum.”
Ok, I get it now. It means “feminine,” but not feminine like feminine. Special feminine. The kind that you get when you are feminine but also have a personality and maybe a haircut. You probably wear some clothes.
Femmes have it harder than women because unlike regular women, they have personalities and favorite colours. Celebrate your local femme this IWD! If you don’t, you’re probably racist or at least guilty of a hate crime.
3) Celebrate a man instead!
We’ve already established that women have the right to vote and have offices. So what’s next? I bet you forgot all about men! They need rights too. This IWD, why not celebrate the brave men who’ve realized they are much better at sports than women are and should probably take advantage of that. I mean, just imagine being a very mediocre male athlete who can’t win races against other men. That would feel very sad!
Luckily, we live in the future now, and humans have become actual clownfish! Who could have predicted such a turn of events! Like the modern human, male clownfish turn into female clownfish if necessary. In the case of clownfish, this is for reproductive purposes, but humans have evolved past reproduction, so we just do it to win powerlifting competitions.
Someday I hope to see clownfish at the polling booth and inside an office, but until that day comes, why not spend this year’s IWD celebrating the stunning and brave men who, as it turns out, are much stronger and faster than women after all.

Current Fic Ideas & Emoji Voting Key
Quick disclaimer that I’m a romance writer in all aspects of the term, so most of my fics will contain mature content. Engage at your own risk, you know the rules, you’re responsible for curating your own experience of the internet, blah blah blah.
This post serves as a current mock up of fic ideas I’m either actively working on or considering working on next. You can drop me an ask about any of them, or just vote via the emoji combo I’ve assigned them.
Voting lets me know you’re excited about an idea and makes it more likely I’ll actually work on it. You can vote anytime, there’re no deadlines or winner announcements, just me gauging your interest by what I see in my ask box most often.
You can also ask me about the original stuff I’m working on currently. The current WIPs are Medusa centric and the emoji for them is: 🐍
- Lupin: 🤑🤠💍
These are all oneshot ideas, between 5-15K each. If you want to vote for a specific idea, send me the emojis and the number of the idea.
Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon always play rock-paper-scissors after a big heist to decide who’ll give the group a striptease, and who will get showered with money. Based on a piece of fanart that is basically this sequence of events in a 4koma (except in their version Jigen loses and in mine, it’s Goemon). (written, just needs editing)
Zenigata cuffs Lupin four times, and Lupin steals his heart. Very NSFW conclusion. Zenigata is the most caring lover you’ll ever find. Lupin is as thirsty as usual and twice as intense. (written, just needs editing)
Jigen protects Lupin from poison darts during a treasure hunt in an Aztec temple, and Lupin nurses him back to help--forcibly, since Jigen is a horrible patient. Born from my desire to spoil Jigen and talk about what ridiculous domestic husbands these two are. (WIP)
Born from the idea that Goemon and Zenigata probably couldn’t be an item, my brain decided to come up with how I could write for them. Goemon’s teaching an ikebana class as part of his training, and Zenigata shows up as a student on forced recreational leave for his health from the ICPO. Zenigata wins the samurai’s heart through flowers. But what happens when Lupin and Jigen find out? (Only good sexy things, I promise. These beans are in a healthy polycule--be gay, do crimes)
Trans!Lupin and Trans!Jigen premise: Jigen cares for Lupin after the master thief has top surgery, since Jigen has Been There and Done That. Caring, sweet, and a little sexy. Lupin is a much better patient than Jigen.
- Sonic Vampire Novelist Coffee Shop AU: 📚☕💐
Shadow is an immortal vampire who has seen the world change for the worse too many times. These days it feels like he only lives for his coffee dates with Rouge, another immortal who loves each new era they encounter, warts and all. He has to admit that the book series she got him into speaks to him, at least. If someone in this era can understand him without meeting him, it can’t all be bad. But he hardly expected the goofy blue barista at the new coffee place to understand him the way those books do.
This is a novel length romcom romp with some big feelings about what it means to watch as things change, grow, and die. Expect lots of Big gothic feelings from this one, emotionally charged kissing, and overly-adoring sex. But also expect shenanigans from everyone in the coffee shop, which include Rouge, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, and more.
- Sonic Blazamy: 💖🌸💎
Amy Rose has been in love with Sonic for a while.
Or has she?
When the Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver are trapped as the fuel sources for Doctor Eggman’s newest evil scheme, Amy teams up with Blaze, Rouge, and Cream to save them. With Sonic out of the picture and Amy fulfilling his role, was she ever really in love with him? Or did she just want to be like him?
This is a novel length epic romance with lots of competent women and lots of romantic Blazamy content. Expect flowery hopes and dreams, badass self-actualization, and glancing hand touches that give way to cuddly and sweet sex.
- Persona 5: 🗡🍛☕
After bringing down the Metaverse twice, Ryuji didn’t think graduating high school and figuring out what to do with his life would be so hard. Akira’s back in town, and the gang’s more-or-less all in Tokyo, but everyone else seems to have a plan while Ryuji just floats. How’s he supposed to change the world when he’s not a phantom thief anymore?
This is a novel length fic that addresses how powerless one can feel being just one person in the face of all the corrupted systems and bigotry the world has to offer. It’s about holding on to what you believe in, working through the doubt, and fighting your way to a better tomorrow with the power you do have.
The whole gang is queer, featured relationships being Mako x Ann, Ryuji x Akira, Futaba & Yusuke as platonic life partners. Akira is polyamorous and omnisexual, Futaba’s asexual and aromantic while Yusuke is demisexual and very romantic, Makoto’s a lesbian, Ann and Ryuji are bi, and Haru’s pansexual, demisexual, and aromantic. They’re one giant band of queer Phantom Thieves, and even if they’re not really doing the Metaverse thing anymore, they’re still gonna save the world!
Also, I’m gonna make Makoto not a cop. That super didn’t age well. Zenkichi and his boss can work on making them better/abolishing them for other better organizations.
- Hades Game: ❤️🔥💀
Oneshot. I just really need to elaborate on the threesome you can have with them in-game, okay? Healthy and canon poly relationships are so few and far between, so often I have to do a ton of groundwork to explain why it’s working in the fic, but NOT WITH THESE KIDS!
Get ready for Meg helping Zag and Than be better at expressing their feelings, lots of kissing, and probably pegging.
- Castlevania Animation Trevor/Sypha/Alucard: 🧛🏰🛌
Castlevania gave Alucard a threesome last season, and I just really need S4 to give me him being taken care of by his partners. They’re probably not going to give it to me, so I’ll need to do it myself. This is just an everybody loves Alucard oneshot, with the gang’s signature banter (to an extent), Sypha being sexy, and Trever being remarkably sincere. This fic is gonna feel like that Ann Hathaway picture with Trevor kissing Alucard and Sypha holding the end of Trevor’s whip while she leans her head on Alucard’s shoulder adoringly.
- Devil May Cry Nico/Lady/Trish: 💋✨😈
Nico’s gay, okay? Like really, really gay. And Lady’s bi and not into men who make her pay bills, but very into women who make amazing guns for her and demonesses with hearts who fight by her side. Trish is ace, but loves people and is pretty attached to Lady at this point. Plus it’s cute when Lady blushes and says nice things like they’re insults. I don’t have super solid ideas for them yet, and I envision these more like a polycule where Lady’s with Nico and with Trish but they’re not with each other more than seeing it as a threesome, but who knows what might happen. This is probably 1-2 oneshots depending on ideas, but might turn into a series of oneshots if people are interested (or I can’t control myself and inspiration strikes).
- Post FMA:B Blind Roy & No Alchemy Ed: 👀👑🙏
This is actually an old novel-length fic I wrote ages ago and didn’t post that didn’t turn out well because I was new to writing sex when I first wrote it. The plot is good, and is all about Roy learning to work with his blindness to reclaim his ambition of being Fuhrer and changing the system to something that actually cares for its people. He and Ed reconnect, fall into bed, and both set about working through their respective traumas about being “useless” having lost their sight/alchemy. They go to Xing as an ambassadorial party to offer Amestris’s collaboration on Al and May’s Alkahestry experiments--and uncover a plot that might threaten both kingdoms.
- Age of Calamity continuity Mipha x Revali: 🦚🐟💘
The first time Revali noticed Mipha, it was in the heat of battle. She stole his mark, taking them down with a flurry of quick blows from her spear. Violence rained from her like water--and then she healed him on her way to her next battle. No questions, no conditions, just pure kindness. The usual need to measure himself against those around him was quiet in her wake. And Revali couldn’t understand it. But how to get to know more about her? A fish and bird may fall in love, but where would they live?
This fic could be a oneshot or novel length depending on how far down the hole I fall. I need it to cover time, but it could be done in linked vignettes or with actually covering events in detail. I may elect to do a oneshot just to get it done and out of my system faster. So much fic to write, so little time.
Expect trans!Revali, polyamorous Zoras, scary competent Mipha, songbird Revali, love confessions that are made up entirely of berating Link for not loving Mipha the way she wants him to, and breaking these characters a little outside of their assigned roles in BotW and Age of Calamity. Background Link x Zelda, and Urbosa x Zelda’s Mom.
- Epic desert romance about Urbosa and Zelda’s mom: 🏜🏝⚡
I just think Urbosa should kiss women and Zelda’s mom should get more development and maybe a name or something. Also, lightning imagery/metaphors/play.
It also went way over my head that Riju wasn’t Urbosa’s daughter the first time I played BotW, so now I want to write about the Gerudo queen who refused to produce an heir. The Gerudo are fascinating and have a very interesting cutlure, but I think it could be examined from a nonbinary perspective that rejected pregnancy and wanting to find a husband. Not in like a hateful way, but in a way that examines if that’s really right for everyone. There’s that shop in town that sells Voe armor, after all. Maybe finding a husband and having children isn’t something you have to do if you don’t want to. And Urbosa really doesn’t want to.

This is not going to be your usual boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy pursues girl, girl falls for boy, boy fucks up, girl leaves boy, boy wins girl back, boy and girl live happily ever after story.
In fact, this will be a much less conventional love story. One between a man and another man, and another man.
More your man meets man, they live happily, man meets another man and they all live happily kind-of-story.
OK, let me explain all that a little better.
Meet Ethan. A 35 year old university professor from Japan. My husband of 10 years. Technically we started off in civil-partnership, but when British law changed we “updated” that to a marriage. Ethan and I have a very loving and happy life together. We had hard times when we had to live apart for our careers, but we somehow made it work and the relationship grew stronger. We now happily balance time together and time doing our own thing.
The one issue? Sex. It is all my fault, I have had a low sex-drive for too long now, caused by stress and anxiety from work. More on that in a bit.
Meet Fillip. A 25 year old factory worker from France. As of yesterday Fillip and I are technically dating. We met via a gay dating app (more on that too) about three months ago and we’ve chatted a lot. We agreed to meet up as friends and realised we had enough in common, and were also different enough, to potentially have an interesting friendship. On our second meeting face-to-face Fillip dropped a bomb, he was polyamorous and in an “open” relationship. And although he hadn’t planned on being anything other than friends, he felt an attraction to me.
The one issue? I had genuinely only been looking for friends, but I too felt an attraction to Fillip.
Meet me, Dan. A 37 year old Brit currently living in the French Pyrenees while working online as a web developer. Someone who foolishly signs up for gay dating apps to find friends, gets sick of all the horny dicks out there, deletes his account, forgets what happened the last time and signs up again 2 years later. Also, that gay guy who once enjoyed multiple sexual partners in one day (pre-marriage) and is now facing a non-existent labido.
The one benefit? I have more love to give and share than I ever knew possible. I may be lacking mojo, but I am a very affectionate and tactile person.
So, getting back to recent events.
Fillip basically asked me if we could date and maybe have a physical relationship. Well, he pretty much left it at that, we talked about polyamory for a long time and I said I needed to talk with Ethan and think about it. He was cool and understanding, saying he could be happy just being friends.
I shouldn’t say surprisingly, but I was surprised that Ethan was OK with it too – sure a little shocked at first, this had come out of the blue. Soon enough he was asking sensible questions and was making jokes. And after a few days, he accepted that I would potentially have a boyfriend.
The truth is, I think we both knew deep-down that I was in some way a polyamorous person, I/we had just never wanted or needed to act on it. I think his willingness comes from the fact that we both know how much we love each other and feel very secure in our love.
So, Fillip and I met for the third time and what in retrospect was our first official date yesterday. We talked and agreed we are both excited about what comes next. But more on that next time. We got a little frisky, but not too much. I found myself feeling hornier than I have done in years.
Sure, you are all going to say it is because of being with someone new and I am sexually bored with Ethan, but you are wrong. A little flashing and little hand on exploration with Fillip left me wanting to make passionate love to Ethan.
Everyone wins!
Poly-, open, non-monogamous?
Open relationships and partners who sleep around are such a cliche in the gay community. I was always so proud to be in a long, loving, monogamous relationship. Now though, I see that there may be another option. The secrecy and heartbreak and/or jealousy and fear of both knowing and not-knowing that come with dysfunctional gay relationships are the result of outdated societal pressures. For people of all sexualities.
The openness, honesty and tolerance of polyamorous lifestyles may potentially remove all of that, in theory, and allow for more love and more happiness for everyone. There cannot be any room for cheating and lying, honesty and respect have to be maintained.
I choose the word polyamorous as it was Fillip’s word. Whether that is the appropriate phrase remains to be seen. I will share the ups and [hopefully few] downs with you here.
Let’s see, maybe I am totally wrong and I may be about to royally fuck things up…
