okay post sonic symphony post recap :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1st mezzanine sweep (could see both the orchestra + the singers excluding when they went in the audience at one point) + we were right next to the projector (cool!!!!) and some of the speakers (ouch)
orchestral:
setlist (as best i remember, i wasn’t writing it down, PLEASE correct me):
sonic 1
sonic cd
sonic 2
sky sanctuary
sonic mania
“welcome to 3D”
believe in myself/it doesn’t matter medley
chao garden
“three new ones”
rooftop run
aquarium park/planet wisp
frontiers medley w/ stuff from third DLC
i was so excitedly surprised to see the new visuals!!! they did a really great job combining the new origins cutscenes with gameplay and the timing was INCREDIBLE esp for a live show. infinite kudos and honestly i can appreciate them waiting two years to actually do this since the cutscenes really tied to first few medleys together
conductor absolutely CRUSHED IT dude was very understanding that the audience was going to be Losing It consistently and he made it work. so much love to that orchestra they did a stellar job and im so sad they’ll get overshadowed by the vocal parts (which. yeah obviously. but they did SUCH great work and the conductor did a great job directing the audiences applause to them)
felt bad they had to stop between every single medley for applause but such is life . also experiencing live audience reactions for stuff like the chemical plant zone drowning trap and amy being playable in the metal sonic race was amazing
enjoyed the sky sanctuary medley even though it took the place of the sonic 3k music overall, so much kudos to the video team that was SO cool (AND IT HAD THE FRONTIERS ANIMATED SPECIAL!!!!! YEAHHHH WIN FOR KNUCKLES FANS EVERYWHERE)
the believe in myself/it doesn’t matter one’s are always so sweet to me i love how they frame them using the cutscenes from each of their respective stories + the end card 🥺 now do that for everyone else’s themes!!!!!!!!!!
i’m definitely forgetting at least one bit in there but it was so delightful all around, the new arrangements were so fun, unleashed sweeps as always but one guy near me was SUPER passionate about aquarium park im glad he was happy. the frontiers medley ended w/ the new supersonic form and having not watched that trailer this was the BEST possible way to see that new content holy SHIT!!!!!!!!
intermission: that was the single most positive bathroom i’ve ever been in and i mean that in the least weird way possible. everyone was so so so excited and complimentary (ty to the person who liked my pins and whose fiancé liked the tails one. i like it a lot too :]) also kudos to the stunning wave cosplayer i saw she was killing it!!!!! molly whoever you were i hope you enjoyed the second half as much as i did
vocal tracks:
setlist (i actually did write this one down):
i am all of me
what i’m made of
open your heart
knight of the wind
escape from the city
(new!!) superstars intro theme
his world
reach for the stars
fist bump
endless possibility
(fake out ending)
break through it all
undefeatable
live and learn
the fake out of having only the orchestra on stage and then l having i am all of me just START even before johnny + jun got on stage. incredible. we were all so distracted i have to find a clip of the audible chaos when the music started going and everyone clocked it was SHADOW FIRST. anyway so so so funny they only showed cutscenes from shth . no gameplay. gee wonder why
interesting structure too, compared to the order of the OG one in 2021 (which focused more on ramping up to the classics + live n learn at the end) this order bookended some of the less popular songs (reach for the stars and the new superstars theme particularly) with the BIG names
you should have heard how much people lost it when johnny said “you are… what i’m made of” i’m so proud of you sonic symphony audience. we are all sonic heroes appreciators
oh also johnny + everyone’s clumsy attempts to name drop/imply song names in their inbetweens. hilarious. astounding. i’m glad we’re your knight johnny
^ re: prev i NEED a recording of that it was glorious. if anyone has one hmu
literally two minutes before the second half started i was telling my beloved friend i dragged along that all i needed to be happy was for them to have kept knight of the wind and it was the FOURTH SONG . WIN FOR JAY. 3 of my top fives within the first twenty mins of act 2. incredible
obviously escape from the city floored everyone. i think that got the most people singing but we were all already exhausted vocally it was very funny hearing what lines people mumbled. but it DID have the most call and response, with the biggest songs they would really just shut off the mics and let the audience sing a lot of lines it was so so fun
johnny took his leave from the stage (and complimented + thanked dave vives and also the fandom), said goodnight, and sometime around now tomoya ohtani was brought on (he deserved more applause and did eventually get it)
superstars theme was cool!!!! but right after city escape was funny bc . no one knows it. you go from most singable theme imaginable to everyone sitting as upright as possible and the half that wasn’t already recording to whip out their phones to capture it especially as they introduce it as “the first time this song has EVER played on this side of the ocean” lmao. hope you liked it london i’m glad you took us down a peg
his worrrrrrlddddd we all love it. we were all so tired. also we kept fumbling the lines bc we all like the zebra head version and rappings hard. i get it. video team did a fun job remixing the visuals for sonic + shadow + silver focus sections though it was really cool
reach for the stars really had people peetering out over the length partly bc we were all exhausted vocally and partly bc it’s sadly less iconic
i could not take fistbump seriously bc they had our beloved ian jr front and center for the whole video. it was glorious. they started w gadget for the opening bit and then bam ian jr everywhere. amazing . got a whole games worth of cutscenes with his beautiful face you did your creator (who was IN THE AUDIENCE) proud
good break before endless possibility though
possibilities are endless. ‘nuff said
jk the video was STUNNING and a lot of it was the opening cutscene which remains some of the best sonic animation ever to this day. and this song REALLY showcased how well the orchestra worked simultaneously with the band it was glorious . the use of the werehog transformation scene in time with:
Tumblr media
mwa. stunning choice. and once again damn the band’s vocalist (dave vives) CRUSHED IT. johnny gave him a shout out for being a worthy successor at the shows he can’t attend and it was so so so deserved y’all are in for a treat
around here my ears + voice started genuinely feeling weird. the sacrifices we make for an absolutely wild experience (it’s all fine now though dw <3)
at this point they thanked everyone for coming + the band walked off stage and they turned all the lights off for a joke. me knowing they wouldn’t leave w/o live and learn was skeptical <- totally forgot they had a whole other guest star who hadn’t done his signature contribution yet
“one more” chanting ensued and my bro says he thinks they definitely had someone planted to say that but like. they did way more than one more. no way that was an intentional phrase
the band returned!!!! KELLIN QUINN KILLED IT
it’s dead. it’s dead and gone . my hearing and also the ability to play sonic music it’s been forever changed . hearing those incredible songs from frontiers + a full live orchestra backing up the astounding vocals (HOW) was incredible. this is when i could feel the literal balcony shaking . my vocal chords are going to kill me tomorrow
obligatory “just one more” was undefeatable and ngl im so glad they did it second, the hype up with break through it all made it even better despite them going the opposite in the game . should have used the cooler going supersonic clip from the trailers rather in game though . no one is immune to undefeatable + the extending music video was crazy good
ANOTHER “one last one” in which johnny was called back on stage, pretended to not know what people were asking for/what he was supposed to sing, got the ENTIRE crowd yelling the name of the song, and then and he + kellin absolutely crushed live and learn
it’s live and learn. it’s the perfect end note ft. quinn’s unparalleled vocals. what more do you need
they showed the really funny still shot of shadow overlaid on the moon for the last shot of the video and i know it’s the actual ending but it lingered for like 15 seconds and i couldn’t stop laughing . they showed all the dialogue captions leading up to him dying so i though they were going to show him falling to earth but nah. stock render brain store ass pose
Tumblr media
still COOL AS HELL!!!!!!! they had us congratulate EVERYONE and all the individual band members and the orchestra and im so so so happy with how it went . one million thanks to these wonderful people they did a great job
a couple literally got engaged in the lobby. one group started belting sonic underground on like the third floor of the stairway. it was incredible. the oscar’s could never top this ty dolby theaterrr
absolutely incredible all around . special shout out to: the people lowkey cosplaying while still in formalwear (woman in a beautiful white dress wearing a rouge hairpiece i salute you. guy in blue suit and guy in orange suit you’re amazing. woman in the fanciest amy rose dress i’ve ever seen im in love). the people with awesome t-shirts i am among your ranks we love a fandom with cool shirt designs. people in full on cosplay i am so so happy for all the diversity in characters i saw. the line for merch that stretched all the way back into the theater at the end: what was the theater staff doing that was bonkers. the people handing out stickers that i missed i Will be stalking your online stores. all the people in normal formal wear carrying their plushies? amazing. the world is beautiful. goodnight everyone

how i make scripts aesthetic on google docs (on pc) <33
Part One - Images
! Due to Tumblr's 30 image limit, I'll have to make this in parts. This one revolves around how I sort pictures to make them look aesthetic or just more organised in my script. + I'm not the best at organising tutorials sometimes but I'm trying to not make this confusing <//3
Ignore any typos and errors, thankyou. If you need me to re-explain anything, please feel free to ask. I feel like I haven't explained properly but, idk what else to do, lol :,)
Page isn't broken, to avoid messing up the way images are organised.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— ◦◦◦
What do I use?
Other than Google Docs (obviously), — Fontspace | A background remover [my mains: 1, 2] | Pinterest/WeHeartIt/Google search, and other sources for pretty pictures, pngs, etc. 🤍🌙
Tumblr media
bundling images
Using the different text wrapping options, I found that it helped a lot more to "bundle" images together, so that things look prettier + more organised.
! example
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is pretty simple, honestly; Fontspace provides font text as pictures, transparent bg and not, — so organising the text from it will fall under the tut for this bit.
Tumblr media
^ These are the text wrapping options. The first one is the default and limits text placement/movement, the other four allow you to move text where-ever on the document (especially if print view is off) but each do different things.
In order of settings, examples (press images to see properly):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
! tip : If you're bundling images that "overlap" too much, make sure to crop at least one (or however many needed) past its actual size so that it won't be a pain in the ass moving them later on.
- You may also use "behind text" for one of them, if it helps, so that it's easier to select the images, this also applies to using image over text (examples in each image).
what I mean:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Using these features, I'll—as per the aesthetic of my script—sort things accordingly. Get creative with the way you're doing this, and keep experimenting 'till you're able to make stuff look the way you want, lol.
"BuT DaRLIng wHaT Do I dO wItH ThIS iNFo??!?!?" bitch idk find an aesthetic 💀💀
like those 2016 fashion sticker books or smthn, idk- whatever u like-
Going into the aesthetics more ;; I usually pick diff aesthetics for each script and refuse to script until I find a pretty one LMFOAOAO- But I especially go for inspiration from (Korean?) bullet journal aesthetics which include lots of image bundling and customised tables.
Why korean ones specifically? Idk the difference, but using "Korean" as a keyword gets the stuff I'm looking for. 💀 But I also search for little pngs I want to add to my script; and if it's a false transparent png or has any background, I use my background removers to make it an actual transparent png.
And, sometimes, I like to search for colours then use my snip tool to screenshot them really thin, like those brown-beige borders you see in all my posts, then use them in my script like highlighter lines, like-
Tumblr media
That's pretty much it, really.
! examples from two of my scripts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fontspace fonts apply as well. One thing about Fontspace is that, you can change the colour of the text ;; as well as the background.
Tumblr media
The brown colour is the text's colour, the blue one is the background's colour. You can of course choose to have no background, but it's there as an option.
Tumblr media
I don't know of any features where you can save a colour but that's maybe me being dumb ;; but what I do is set a certain colour (i.e. blue) then use the colour adjustment in google docs to change it to black, red, or whatever over colours r in the script.
i.e.:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways I'm p close to the image limit, so that's it for this post.
I hope this makes sense bc explaining this was harder than I thought. 💀💀 Once again I can clear anything up if needed
Tumblr media
! tips
Keywords you can use for tiny decorations, are "clipart", "[aethetic name] clipart transparent png", "[aesthetic name] sticker png transparent", etc.
You can have a look at the aesthetics wiki for ideas for your script
Fotor is what I use to crop images into different shapes, and it is how I got the circle/heart shaped pictures in my documents ^-^*
...I'll add more when I remember them.

wait what did the dub team do? i’ve heard some stuff but i don’t know how much is true
it’s always the dub team people r surprised about- well. actually no i mention the dub team a lot more than i mention like. isle of nowhere + most formerly popular accs are defunct now. people only know the dub team. this makes sense nvm.
anyways!!!
the biggest thing that always jumps out to me is that emmas voice actor is… i wanna say pr0 ship? sorry for censoring but i don’t wanna end up in that tag lol. but no iirc emmas va had a ton of nsfw of characters who were very very explicitly under 18, on their socials- they didn’t even have anything saying their acc was nsfvv, they had 0 warning and would send links to their acc for people to check out. im also 100% sure they had minor/adult ship content (like. high schooler confirmed to be <18 x adult in their 40s) on their page. the team was aware of this and… did not care
then, a few? years back? before they had released anything playable, back when all they had was VA intros, they said that sora was confirmed to be het by linuj- this was back when the game wasn’t even fully released, let alone fully translated, i could explain. how horrible the word of mouth culture was back then because of this, but with the dub team being in contact with linuj to begin with, people heard this and 100% believed it. they said this in response to people shipping… iirc it was specifically a reaction to some soruko stuff, but anyways, the intent was “so u can’t ship her with girls cuz that’s het erasure, sorry :(“ they later. straight up admitted it was a lie, that they had chosen to not tell the truth, that linuj had never said anything like that
those are the two most… reputable? well documented? things against them- the sora straightbait stuff used to be common knowledge, and i saw the stuff with emma’s va first hand (im just not certain about if they had straight up nsfvv, or if it was just. f3tish stuff which people might not have realized was. s3xual just scrolling through their page- and again, they def had minor/adult stuff). there’s also been reports of harassment by the adults on the team to minors in the server and stuff, and people have said it was just overall an uncomfy environment, but those are the two things that i can personally verify happened
it’s ur choice if you wanna support the dub, and i know some people are 100% fine with emma’s va even knowing the stuff they’d post- im not telling u how to feel, pls don’t come argue with me abt morals, these r just. the things they’ve done which i have an issue with!
Edit: (cw: adult showing nsfvv stuff to minors)
forgot about this one, but yukis past va straight up read nsfvv stuff to minors in voice chat. he was a full blown adult, and im not aware of all the ages involved, but at least one of the minors involved was 15. again! full grown adult on the dub team doing this. i didn’t witness this one personally but multiple people (who i trust/don’t think would lie abt smthn like this) have verified this, and it checks out for dub team to do smthn like this.
Edit episode 2: The incident with Yukis va was in 2018, and as of 2020, yuki has a new va! i wasn't aware there had been a change in va, but! yeah, the current va didn't do this, the va that did that is no longer yukis va

still seareching for a liver than youll ever be stones CD T-T the one i had got was a CDr which CDrs tend to not work well or like have trouble being read on my CD player and also just always have kinda blurry not v nice packaging and none of the magic of 90s CDs bootlegs so looking for one stilll tho it seems real hard T-T almost got one that was like a bootleg in the style of those mfsl original master CDs u kno w/ hte minimized album art and gold CD but then looked it up and saw it was a CDr and was like T-T tho rly just want one thatss the full 2nd concert tho will probably also get one thats the og LP track listing if it sshows up for cheap since i do just want one in general. tho the nicest looking CDs are ones w/ the og stamped on type cover that are CDs released in 94/96 but also the amount of ppl on discogs who own those discs is v small so im sure theyre p rare but the other CDs have p ugly covers tbh that arent even from the 1969 tour and are mostly still mick taylor era pics but like later 70s like exile tour n so forth n stuff. tho the best bet is the swingin pig CD thats from 1990 cause that has all 16 tracks but that showed up a week or so ago for like more than 100$ soo ya T-T theres another one called vintage but vigorous that only has the og LP track listing and a slightly better looking cover imo even tho it also isnt from the 69 tour but yaa just gonna have to wait and keep an eye out. also of mention is that the 100$ dissappeared later the same night it showed up and i think it was delisted so like i have to keep an eye out daily tbh if i really wanna find one. idk what the rules on bootlegs on ebay are cause like u can find tons but some do get removed so it is strange. i remember when i was getting beach boys smile CDs and a seller messaged me cause i viewed smthn they later delisted saying they would relist it if i bought it right away lol like i guess to avoid having it delisted by ebay. tho i guess it depends cause like therees some that are always up like idk. reallly wanna find one its a great greate album like def a equal to if not better than ya yas like ya ya has the upper hand of being official better quality and stuff but live'r has the benefit of being like unfiltered live audio and the roughness goes in its favor in the same way got live's roughness benefits its energy. even just the LP live'r like the fact it doesnt have vocal overdubs like ya yas does gives it an upper hand at being a more genuine live document and the CDs that have the full second concert benefit from having the full concert like stuff like under my thumb and gimme shelter sound real great so yeas.. anyways my musik von harmonia germanofon CD shipped today so im like yayyyyy wonder what its gonna sound like. germanofons aree usually great sounding given the context but i have this 1995 japanese CD of musik von harmonia that really sounds excellent and has great packaging n everything that i have zero complaints abt so like wonder how its gonna hold up to that.

OKAY MORE RANDOM HEADCANONS HI
Rian
- imagine how weirded out his crew would be at your presence. I mean sure they've had royalty on board but only ever to get them somewhere on rare occasions. But you????????? You're???? You're gunna be helping around????? Okay now you're helping in securing the sails? Okay cool...wait nO CAREFUL HEY WATCH OUT ITS CROWDED????? heY HEY HEY WHY DID CAPTAIN JUST PULL A DAGGER ON YOU TF????? NO NO NO YOURE GUNNA FALL OFF DECK-
So basically they're all baby sitting you 24/7 now. They're so scared of you getting hurt because you're not used to being aboard such a huge ship plus they're not ready to see that side of the captain
Maave
- hiding fruits!!!!!!!! In all you're things!!!!!!!!!! You gotta eat bb!!!!!!!!!
- lipstick marks on government documents? Only for you <333
-basically becomes your anger translator
- LOVES LOVES LOVEESSS to kidnap you in the middle of events just to sit in peace for a few minutes with her lover,,,so cute,,,
- I feel like even as children she'd do this alot? Like just randomly come to kidnap you in the middle of the night?
- HER KIDNAPPING TOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR A BALLROOM DANCE-
Theo
I feel like once you and Theo got together again it might be a little hectic at first??? Cause now you're both taking care of your kingdoms so it takes a little getting used to but if he ever has to leave for somewhere before you wake up he'd feel sooooooo guilty. Imagine him leaving you notes n random places on days you don't get to see him?????? Like
-you looked so stunning on the palace ground today, I hope you'll let me see that beautiful smile at dinner tonight at 7?
-you looked a little worn out after today's meetings. Would you like to meet at the balcony for a few refreshments?
Like even after you're official he'd be so polite <3
OKAY SIDE NOTE
About Sawyer????? I genuinely thought his character was so hot and had so much potential to be simp worth but I feel some ways the writers kinda fd this up would be
-made his character revolving on mc and him falling in love at first sight doesn't really suit him?? Like I get it he's a li but still that quick???
-didnt really think of lesbian players when they made him tbh-
-he had way more screentime that the other li????for what???????even if she shows up a bit later there's so many paid choices for him but not her???????????????
Not to mention how unfairly they treated tess's route
Okay this ask is already way too long so byE
-dumb bitch anon
OKAY SO THIS IS A LOT, HERES A CUT-
Rian
I THINK IT WOULD ALSO BE SO FUNNY BC AT LEAST SOME OF THE CREW MEMBERS (perhaps the older ones) HAVE TO HAD KNOWN RIAN WAS SUPPOSED TO KIDNAP YOU. AND NOW THE TWO OF YOU ARE PRACTICALLY MARRIED?! SOME OF THEM FOR SURE SAW RIAN TEACHING YOU HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF BY THE SECOND DAY AND WENT "😏 well aint that smthn different".
i bet they definitely teased him (respectfully), but were thankful for the change of heart.
AND IMAGINE HOW SURPRISED THEY PROBABLY ARE TO SEE RIAN BEING ALL SOFT AND LOVING. SURE, RIAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN CARING TOWARDS HIS CREW, BUT THATS IN A EMOTIONALLY DISTANT SORT OF WAY.
and then suddenly you come along and they see a whole new side of caring from him. suddenly, they get to see what he's like when he doesn't keep someone an arms length away. 😭
which would only increase how much the crew respects and doesnt understand you.
first of all, theyre used to royalty being snobby or at least indifferent towards them. and yet here you are, a whole ass ruler of a realm that fought dark magic, politely asking a crewmember what their name is and how to tie a certain knot and listening incredibly intently.
second of all, it took you... like less than three days to kool-aid man burst through the walls he had built up since childhood. and some of the older crew had been trying to do that for years. JUST WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU HUH. HOW.
everything about you just goes against prior experiences and encounters and confuses the heck out of them 💀
they would do literally anything to protect you. they adore you. it rained the other night? you get a bunch of "be very careful, your highness! the deck is slippery!" and if you do slip, Rian and any crew members around are leaping to balance you. like how a parent catches a baby before it can fall 💀
not because they think you cant take care of yourself! they just really really like you and don't want you to get hurt.
Maeve
OH MY GOODNESS OFC SHE'D BE THE ANGER TRANSLATOR AHAHAHA
"i believe strongly that discussing this matter would not be the best use of our time at the moment"
"they mean 'stop wasting my fucking time and lets get this shit done bc IM TIRED OF THE BS'"
AND THE LIL FRUUUUUITS
imagine if she writes lil notes with them sometimes like "noticed you didn't have time for breakfast, take this to go, my love <3" UGH 💕💕💕💕
AND SHES KNOWN YOU FOREVER SO SHE KNOWS WHEN YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM A PARTY 😭
DANCING AT NIGHT WITH HER IN THE BALLROOM, THE BOTH OF YOU STILL WEARING NIGHT CLOTHES
Theo
HE'D SO FIND WAYS TO STILL SPEND TIME WITH YOU. and... as much as Maeve doesn't like him, she loves you which means she really wants you to be happy, so i could see her taking care of things for you so you can hang out with Theo and spend time with him 😭
good lord dont get me started on Sawyer. honestly, his character is just... incredibly flat and his personality is one that makes me uncomfortable 💀 he just acts like the type of dude that would commit microaggressions and make terrible jokes and then tell you that you're overreacting when you call it out. WHICH IS LITERALLY BECAUSE THEY WERE SO LAZY WITH HIS WRITING. HE RLLY DID HAVE POTENTIAL 💀 i will admit, he would have been better received if Tess had gotten a proper route, but the way he's shoved onto the mc makes me really uncomfortable bc NOT EVERYONE WHO PLAYS LIKES MEN OR IS EVEN ATTRACTED TO SAWYER!
the writer for roadkill was very lazy with his and Tess's characters and it upsets me so much 💀

Hiii, can I get 1, 2, 6, 16 for Nirn ; 3, 10, 14, 18 for Riley; and 4,7, 12, 15 for Suds. Also fun fact: I write down all the oc questions I wanna ask so I have random notebook pages with numbers and ur oc names on them 😌
GFHDHD wait wait I do that too for you I put them down in whatever google doc im workin on so i just have a bunch of docs w numbers and UR ocs names on them 😭 same mind..
1. What is their morning routine? What are the first things they do when they wake up?
-Wake up around 5 am. (six if he feels like sleeping in). Do morning stretches/yoga immediately. Fix his appearance/ brush his hair and teeth. Go over notes and documents from the night prior to see if he views anything differently now. Breakfast (light) with black tea. This is his me time of the day. Then choose an outfit and get dressed. Have the messengers sent in to hear any news or concerns. By around 7 am he's ready to greet the day :)
2. What is their nighttime routine? What are the last things they do before they fall asleep?
-He usually goes to bed around midnight or so. He bathes, chooses an outfit for the next morning, maybe does a face mask or sets some candles. Goes over documents and letters. For a little while in bed he'll read, either work related things or something he finds interesting. He falls asleep fairly easily but is a light sleeper and suffers frequently from insomnia, so its not unoften he'll miss a day or two of sleep and just spend the night working instead.
6. If they were videogame characters, what loot would they drop when they died?
Man I cant imagine him being killable in a videogame hes DEF an unkillable npc 😭 since hes literally a god. maybe he gets sick of the player trying to kill him and pretends to die, dropping the following- a bottle of wine, a coupon for scented bath salts, a collection of golden rings, and a moderate amount of XP. You run into him later in the game and can ask him like “didnt I kill you?” and hes like “that sounds like a personal problem. But try it again and you wont be as lucky” and then any further attempt to attack him just ends with the game crashing.
16. Is there a song lyric that they particularly identify with?
And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have it any other way
(Thanks i made myself sad)
Riley!
3. They’re locked out in the rain. What do they do?
High pitched musical screaming while banging on the windows exactly like this vine but with more desperation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfF49HgeVKY
Start crying probably if hes wearing velvet or satin and then gets mad enough about being locked out (even tho he locked himself out) he kicks in a basement window or smthn and crawls in and ends up falling on his face. All of this bcs in his emotions abt having his outfit ruined he forgot the rats have a way of unlocking it from inside and they all just watching him like :/
10. What would their karaoke song be?
Either something by ABBA or falloutboy hsfsdfh had his medieval fantasy equivalent to an emo phase in his youth and would know all the words to the black parade by heart so maybe that. Hed get hype af on the stage and start trying to crowd surf and shit when the guitar solo hits if he's gotten drunk enough.
14. What would you have to put under a crate propped up with a stick to catch them?
A nice plate of assorted cheese, a bottle of champagne, some fine imported silks unavailable from anywhere local, a darling fancy rat with a tousled coat, an ocean scented body mist, an arcane tomb bursting with forbidden energies, and maybe a beginners set of dulled throwing knives bcs he wants to learn how to be sexy but keeps cutting himself up when he tries w real ones :/
18. What do they do to cheer themselves up?
Buys himself things, spends time with his rats and talks his problems through with them, buys his rats costumes and accessories, throws himself into his studies, or if he's really feeling it then makes himself a bubble bath and gets champagne drunk in it while reading other arcane scholars thesis papers and scribbling down scorching reviews while mocking them aloud to the rats or whoever is unfortunate enough to be nearby.
Suds!
4. What would their ideal first date be?
-Suds considers himself too old and too jaded to ever do something like go on a date or have romance again. Of course that doesn't stop the occasional dream or fantasy of it from which he wakes up thinking damn :/ that hurted. Ideally its a picnic with just the two of them, they go to a pond or a spring and have biscuits and honey suds made himself. They feed the local squirrels and maybe share a glass of rose wine… they go home late through the garden and suds shows them the different variety of plant life he grows. They maybe hold hands :) and then share a kiss at his door.
7. What are the last 3 things in their Google search history?
How to let coyotes know you are a friend but also not to fuck with you
How to be less sensitive
Pineapple hurt mouth why
12. What do they use as a bookmark?
Hes def the type uses big leaves and flowers as bookmarks. Doesnt consider dog earring to be bad unless its a super old book.
15. They need to go on a 5 hour drive. How do they prepare?
Wakes up a little late and packs half in a hurry. Water bottles check. Snacks and food check. Pee bottle and tampons? Check, in case someone needs it. He respects women like that.

I added the Grammarly extension to my account and then later forgot about it. A few hours later I was reading a document from class (smthn from the 1800′s) and the poor extension looked like it got anxiety. Almost like it wanted to ask who has such terrible grammar skills.
Literally, no lie, to the extension I said, ‘dude it’s a historic document I’m pretty sure grammatically correcting it is treason.”

ooh could you write a barba fic where the reader has to testify for something and he helps her through it/gets really angry when the defense attacks her?? then angry sex?? smthn like that (:
Another two parter, there is smut in this one though, the next one will also have smut and the courtroom scene. I hope you all enjoy! Thank you for requesting such creative things, they’re a pleasure to write. 
Tumblr media
The stand. You’d never liked it. Though you had practiced your testimony with ADA Barba multiple times you still felt nervous. You weren’t sure what exactly was making you so anxious, but you knew part of it was him. His gaze was intense and piercing, his eyes rarely left you as you rehearsed over and over. His posture was confident and sure, his shoulders broad and his chest wide. 
You found yourself daydreaming of what it must be like to run your hand over his suit jacket, to feel the warmth of his body against the skin of your palm. 
“And at anytime during discovery did you leave the scene?” His voice did little to silence your fantasies, rather it made you wonder what words he would speak as you did unspeakable things to him.
“Miss. Y/L/N.” 
You shook yourself to attention when you realized he was addressing you and you were expected to speak back. 
“Sorry…yes…I mean no, no I did not leave the scene.” You spoke, your breathing a little out of wack and rhythm of response a little off. 
“Do you need to take a break?” He asked furrowing his brow in slight confusion and concern.
“No…I’m fine. Thank you.”
Rafael Barba nodded slightly and gave you a flash of a smile before resuming your rehearsal. Back and forth, he asked, you responded. With every question you noticed something new, somehow sexier than your previous discovery. God his hands, you could see his pulse throb through them as he leaned against the stand, pretending to face the jury while he asked you to describe the eyewitness accounts of the assailant. 
You had only been working for SVU for a few weeks. And of course your first major case had been a near catastrophic disaster. Someone (most likely the serial rapist Gregory O’Mally) had lit the records room on fire in the basement of city hall, destroying thousands of files and documents. The fire would have destroyed the incriminating papers and photos you needed to charge Gregory O’Mally but as luck would have it, you had checked out the documents only thirty minutes before the first flames flickered. O’Mally had committed a horrific series of violent rapes, killing two of the victims only after posing them in lewd positions symbolizing the seven deadly sins. 
It was a big case.
Now you were being called to testify for the first time on a case you had worked so intimately. So much was your responsibility, you couldn’t afford to get anything wrong. 
Again and again, he prepped you, and after an hour had passed you wondered if he spent this long prepping all of his witnesses. He had taken off his suit jacket and was striding slowly back and forth between one of the counsel tables and the stand. His pants fit him perfectly, they might have even been on the tight side. You thought you could see a hint of the outline of his briefs and you wondered how tight those were, and what all they contained. 
What was wrong with you? You were a detective in the Special Victims Unit, and yet you were sitting here objectifying and fantasizing about your ADA’s tight ass as it flexed in synch with his pace.  
When he announced that it was over, and you were sufficiently prepped you sighed both in relief that you could leave the stand, and in dissatisfaction that you wouldn’t be able to gaze at him lecherously any longer. You walked to where you had laid your coat on the separation bannister and sighed once more, wondering if you would ever be lucky enough to spend time alone with him again.
“Would you mind answering one more question?” Barba’s voice was suddenly much closer and you turned quickly to see him stood only a few inches away. 
“Oh…no, sure…what is it?” You spoke your voice slightly shaky at his proximity. 
“Do I have something on my pants?” Barba couldn’t hide his slight smirk as it ate it’s way into his face, pushing away the frown lines that often resided there.
“No. I don’t…I don’t think so no.” You gave his pants a flashed glance, so fast your eyelashes never stopped their motion.
Rafael smirked even wider and took a deep inhale through his nose. 
“Coffee?” He spoke, and you were suddenly and inappropriately reminded of Donald Trump’s “covfefe” tweet.
You snickered softly and instantly regretted it when you saw the hurt fill his eyes though no other part of his face let on to the effect of your words.
“Yes! Please. I’m sorry, I just…yes, I’d love that.” You corrected reaching a hand to rest on the Italian wool covered muscle of his forearm, giving it a reassuring squeeze as you spoke.
“Would you mind if we dropped a few things off at my office first?” His smile returned and you lit up at it’s pleasant curves.
“Not at all. Where are we going after?”
“Don’t you trust me Detective?” 
“Seeing as I’ve never seen you without a cup of coffee in your hand, except for today, I definitely trust your taste in coffee. Otherwise I’m not so sure.” You teased as you helped him gather a few of his files as well as his briefcase. 
“Hmmm…we’ll have to change that won’t we. Trust is very important between counsel and their witnesses.” You both pushed open separate doors to exit the courthouse reuniting closely to descend the large white steps. 
The two of you didn’t go far for your caffeine fix, he took you to a little coffee shop tucked away in between some department stores. You told him what kind of coffee you enjoy and he ordered for you both seeing as he knew the menu better than anyone in Manhattan. 
You both sat and sipped at your coffee when it arrived. You were right to trust his taste in coffee, it was delicious. He asked you a few mundane things, and both of you exchanged college experiences, his being surprisingly funny. 
Rafael Barba was still holding back, but he found himself physically leaning into the conversations as he memorized every fact you revealed about yourself. Since you had started at SVU he had been more than a little attracted to you. It had reached a level of dire lust on a few nights and he had found himself rock hard at just the thought of you. He felt like a teenage boy, he wanted you so desperately but he almost didn’t trust himself to pursue you, that was until he caught you staring at his ass today while biting your bottom lip.
Rafael figured he would ask you to dinner after the trial, despite his own fears that you would reject him or that he would be chastised and lose his job. But that seemed too far away as he watched you tell a story using both of your hands to emphasize a point, too far away. He wanted more of this, he wanted to watch your eyes light up with excitement, hear your little giggles and laughs, to see your smile every time he spoke. He loved how attentively you watched him. Your eyes were always on him though there were many distractions. 
Rafael tried harder to make you laugh and he succeeded, nearly making you spit out your coffee. He began another story in which he accidentally brought up his abuelita and he almost began to cry. You noticed the twitches and sniffs and reached a hand across to him, laying your palm on his knuckles softly. You could feel each vein as it pushed against his skin and subconsciously you began tracing them as he continued to speak though his body was frozen. 
He was frozen at your touch, fearful of moving, thinking that if he moved you would move too and he would lose this connection. 
A few minutes later he rotated his hand and you let yours fall into his upturned palm. You spread your fingertips along his palm, lightly dragging your nails on his skin. You didn’t want to think, you just wanted to feel. As he spoke he cleared his throat a few times while you pressed your thumb down in a massage, soothing the sore muscles and ligaments in his massive hand. 
Rafael Barba was in trouble. What you didn’t know was that each motion you made on his palm, each stroke and rub caused his cock to twitch and swell. But he couldn’t bring himself to stop you, it all felt too good. Soon his condition was such that he wouldn’t be able to hide it when he stood and he felt his mind berate him loudly over and over. 
You suggested that the pair of you return to his office to continue to prep, expressing a desire to rehearse a particular portion of the questioning. He agreed and asked you to return the ceramic coffee cups to the counter, pointing to where they could be placed. He briefly mourned the loss of your hand in his, but was struck by more important matters almost instantly. Luckily for him he had worn a lose and long coat today so he would be able to hide his arousal as long as he kept it on and fastened. 
You took his hand as you walked and he smiled with a light blush that you wouldn’t have noticed had you not been so consumed by his every motion. You only dropped your grip outside his office figuring that since whatever this was wasn’t defined by either of you yet, it would be better if neither of you had to explain it to someone else. 
In his office you removed your coat and hung it up, extending a hand towards him so you could hang his as well. He mumbled something about being cold and you gave him a quizzical look as he shuffled towards his desk. Once he was behind it he removed his coat in a very awkward manner that he tried to smooth over by asking you the questions he expected the defense to cross you with. 
You took a seat across from him and answered each with totally honesty and poise. You noticed how he squirmed and coughed, his face reddening as he tried to avoid looking at you. 
“Are you okay?” You asked leaning towards him in concern. 
“Yes.” He answered curtly rolling his eyes slightly, pulling his stomach flush against the wood of his desk.
“Because you look kind of…feverish.” 
“And where did you get your medical degree Dr. Y/L/N?”
“Okay…okay…” You raised your hands in defeat sitting back in your chair as he continued to squirm. 
Just then Carmen his paralegal and secretary walked in with a clipboard full of documents that needed Barba’s signature. He shifted closer to his desk as you made small talk with her, complimenting her dress and ring. She was engaged and had already scheduled a weekend off for her wedding. Carmen left only after telling Barba to leave the clipboard on her desk and that she would send each document out first thing in the morning. It was remarkable how respectful she was while giving him orders. 
As Barba was writing he accidentally scooted the clipboard to far onto his desk and his name plate began to tilt off the edge. You both went for it at the same time, but you became distracted by what you saw when he made a halfway lunge out of his chair. Your eyes were directly across from his crotch, and the strain of his pants was very evident.
“Oh my God.” You gasped at the size of what you saw, taken aback that that’s what this cocky lawyer was packing in his pants. 
He sat back down for a moment, curling his lips into his mouth before standing again. 
“Do you see this? This is your fault. Not mine.” He looked almost frustrated, angry that you had done this to him without any knowledge. 
He rounded the desk and gripped the arms of your chair, leaning in, only inches away from your flushed face. You didn’t move back, instead you too moved forward until your lips almost brushed his. 
“Lock the door.” You whispered in a low tone that made him growl, his cock beginning to throb harder at your words. 
He let his lips brush yours once more before he did as you said, turning around to find you seated on the edge of his desk. 
“Let’s get one thing straight pequeño…I’m in charge.” The way he walked towards you with his brow low and eyes dark was positively predatory, and you loved it.
“And what makes you think that?” You quipped turning your nose up slightly in defiance. 
He grabbed you roughly and pulled you to him, pressing his face into your neck as he bit softly at your skin. 
“Because I said so.” He murmured against your skin, breathing in your delectable scent that made his knees so weak.
“You’re not my father.” You whispered as a light moan escaped your lips when he began to suck at the skin he had bit.
“No…I’m not. But you will call me Daddy tonight.” He growled almost sweetly before sliding his hands down your upper arms until he had both of your hands in his massive vein covered ones. 
“I need you to say yes.” He whispered, as he inched your hands along his stomach, pulling them downward towards his arousal. 
“Yes…Daddy.” As you finished speaking he finally brought your eager hands to his pressing erection.
As you felt him over his pants you cooed softly, wanting to rile him up as much as possible. It worked. He nearly fell backwards as you moved closer, your hands both squeezing his length as you pushed him back against his desk. 
You had him out of his pants in no time, leaving him stood, thighs and ass against his desk as you pulled down his briefs. As you pulled you licked at Rafael through the fabric making him thrust his hips forward. 
Finally he sprung free and Jesus Christ, he was painfully hard. 
“Does this hurt Daddy?” You purred in a faux innocent voice, allowing only your breath to touch him as he continued to swell.
“Si no me tocas ahora voy a morir.” If you don’t touch me now I’m going to die, He almost sobbed, losing all control for a brief moment. 
“Well we can’t have that can we?” You let the words drip from your tongue before placing it on him.
You licked him swiftly root to tip before circling his head with your tongue. His cock was perfect, and just like his hands it was covered in bulging veins. You licked each one, minding their curves and paths as you did so. 
Rafael brought a hand to the top of your head and wove his fingers into your hair, not pushing you, just feeling you. 
You rewarded him by taking his head into your mouth, swirling your tongue around it twice before sucking as hard as you could. He slammed both hands on the sides of his desk and made a strangled sound that was akin to a scream. 
He only let you treat him for a few seconds more before pulling himself from you and gesturing for you to hop on his desk. You did so gingerly, mindful of his documents. Rafael lifted your skirt and yanked your panties off in one smooth motion. His fingers made contact with exactly how wet he had made you as he pulled them off and he moaned almost proudly before tossing your legs over each of his shoulders. 
He drank you wildly, with a passion and expertise that you had never known. You threaded your delicate fingers through his wealth of slightly sweaty hair and moaned loudly as he consumed you. 
Rafael could not have been happier with his current position in between your legs. His nose was pressed firmly to your clit and his tongue dove in and out of your entrance tasting every drop of you as he went. 
You were close, so very close, but some part of you knew that if you came, he would too. And you needed him inside you. Now.
He seemed to have the same thought and gave you one final swipe before positioning himself against you. One hand on your neck and the other on your hip he sat you up, and kissed you.
As your lips made their first real contact he pushed inside of you strongly, making you cry into his open mouth. He cried out too, it had been far too long since he had been inside someone, and he had never been inside someone as beautiful as you. As Rafael began to thrust inside of you you trembled, overwhelmed with his size and his hands that held you firmly in place. 
He squeezed on your throat and gave you a particularly deep thrust almost making you jump on the desk. 
“Oh Raf!” You squealed as he pounded harder, making you feel every inch he had to offer.
“Dios mío eres tan hermosa.” He moaned as he kissed you again and again, his tongue massaging yours as he picked up his pace. 
He had to make you come, if it took all that he had, Rafael Barba had been put on this earth to make you come, here and now. 
Suddenly you unraveled, overtaken by the massive shock of your orgasm as it surprised you. You felt it in your fingertips and toes, shaking you from all other thoughts or feelings. You cried out as his grip on your throat shifted to the back of your neck, pulling your writhing body against his even closer, allowing him to drive deeper within you. 
The hand Rafael had on your hip squeezed and flexed possessively a few times before he too came, but not as quietly as you. You had thought you were loud, Rafael was deafening, he wailed, choking and crying as he shot deep within you, his grip tightening into a vise. 
You rested on his shoulder, totally limp, and he fell forward onto yours, his legs shaking and threatening to give out. 
One of the saddest moments of your life was when Rafael Barba pulled out of you, a few drops of you both falling onto the carpet below. You whimpered and he apologized with a few kisses before pulling you off of his desk and into his arms. He pulled up on you and you wrapped yourself around him as he hoisted you up, carrying you to the leather couch across the room. He laid you out and you reached for him with a little hum. 
Rafael was in disbelief that what had just taken place really happened, after all you were…you. And he was just…Rafael. 
He laid down with you after gathering and re-donning his briefs and pants from where he had kicked them off. He settled behind you, holding you securely in his arms, his spine against the back of the couch. You hummed softly and he stroked at your hair as you fell asleep. He let you nap, still in awe that you were in his arms. His mind berated him with reprimands and citations of why this would fall apart, why he didn’t deserve you, but he shut them up for the first time in his life. Simply for the sake and privilege of hearing you breathe as you shifted closer to him, lightly gripping his forearms that linked tightly around your chest as you slept.

Don’t mind me I’m just rambling but w/ all the stuff that’s going on I keep thinking about this time a year ago when my mom got pulled over for speeding while we were on our way to NC, and we were joking about it at first because she’d never gotten a ticket or anything since before she had me, but then she got really serious and a little nervous, and she told me to very slowly and carefully give her the booklet she kept her registration + other documents in. I was a little confused for all of about five seconds until I realized that she was worried that the booklet could potentially be mistaken for a gun, and she was a black woman. She’s very light-skinned, but she’s still noticeably not white (she’s been mistaken for hispanic and I think filipino before). Thankfully the cop was a black man so we weren’t as stressed when he came up to the window, but my mom getting nervous like that still stresses me out some to this day. I’ve never seen her scared before, I don’t think. And there was another time where we were driving home and saw someone else got pulled over on the highway, and again we started joking at first like ‘aw shit, get ‘em cop’, until we noticed that the driver was a black man, and then all joking stopped immediately, and my mom said something like “we should check the news later to make sure he doesn’t end up on there”.
And there’s other things too, like how my mom will sometimes joke about if a race war ever breaks out then me and my sister are going to have to help her get up to Canada or smthn since we both pass as white, or that one time she told me her and my auntie (who is darker than she is) weren’t sure if they would be able to go to this bed & breakfast place because there are still some places in VA and the south as a whole where black people aren’t allowed service, and in the same conversation said that she was sure that if they went up to Gloucester then they’d definitely be in danger of being killed.
And there’s how my black professor’s son was beaten up at school when he was a child because he was black, or how he had a gun pulled on him by a gas stop cashier when he was 12 because he ran in after his sister and was acting like a kid, or how an alumni from my university said that when Obama got elected a bunch of students put up Confederate flags in their windows, and now I’m worried about my auntie and her granddaughter since they moved into a neighborhood with mostly old white people and I’m just hoping that nothing bad happens to them, or to my uncle or grandma or cousins or anyone in my mom’s family. And I feel guilty almost because when tragic shit like what’s going on happens again I just don’t feel anything. I should be angry or sad or something but I mostly just feel numb to it, and that’s awful.

Why tf am I havin’ all these dreams lately this is like the 10th time anywho, time to document another one:
In this dream, it was as if there was a love interest. There was a guy I met that someone I know happened to be related to him (I think he was another family member of theirs or smthn and he was younger). The eldest of the family didn’t seem to like that me and this guy seemed intrigued and/or attracted to each other and didn’t like the idea that we might get close to each other. I had longer hair in this dream, only one side shaven. I think I realized that I was in fact dreaming or maybe I thought it was real; as I was confused as to why both sides of my head weren’t completely shaven. Over the course of the dream I discovered this guy was a part of some band or singing group. He was very nice and sweet, didn’t shut me down for who I was. Gentle voice, loved to smile. My more gentle voice would come out when I spoke to him. Later on he would try to sneak into rooms where we could be alone and just hold me. I can only recall one where I was sleeping and I felt his arm wrap around my waist. I also remember he had a watch on and I could see the sleeve of his shirt was white. That’s all I can really recollect from the dream. __________________________________________________ Upon writing out the dream above, I remember now a nightmare-ish one occurred in my sleep as well. I was back at the river I once lived at. Near the banks and I was being pushed towards some... entity. I was not walking. I was hovering in the air. This force was pushing me slowly in between tree branches as I hovered at least 20 ft. in the air. It was dark outside. All seemed calm and quiet but things quickly turned unsettling. Peering up to my left, there was a tree next to the river bank that suddenly obtained a face. It had a wicked grin and glowing eyes. The form it took almost reminded me of an animal skull. I tried to break away and get away from it, but the force pushed me towards it. Attempting to break sticks and flee from tree branches, it was no use.  Then all of a sudden... the force pushed me past this... wicked tree. Looking closer, it seemed as if there were hooded figures that either caused the light to form the eyes and wicked grin, or they were made of just darkness. Confused, I kept looking on.  As I passed by more trees, the lights suddenly shifted into a heart shape. I remember thinking “What?! What’s going on? What was the point of this being so evil in appearance and now a heart formed” Then it ended.
