Someone in the tags on the Paolo Girardi post asked to see my ancient pre-Guilty Gear art so here's some of it. This is all from before fall 2021 (the oldest is the third one, which is from 2015) and it's entirely analog except for the 3 colored ones at the bottom, which I did on paper and then colored digitally. I mostly drew with dip pens like a medieval scribe lol

How do you have time to make these many drawings?? Nice art style tho
I draw fast. And often. I don’t know how to knit so I have to have some kind of hand activity to do when I’m bored, I guess. One time I drew like 100 things over two days lol
I’m glad you like my stuff :)

Stick Around
Oscar Piastri x bestfriend!reader
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Summary: You’ve been searching for your soulmate your whole life. Maybe you’ve just been looking in the wrong place.
Word Count: 4.1k
Warnings: alcohol/intoxication, cheating/infidelity (not by a main character I promise) mild swearing, excessive use of italics
|Age 20|
“You can’t seriously still be reading that stuff,” Oscar says.
You peer at him over the top of your magazine.
“What stuff?” You ask, playing innocent.
“Your horoscope,” he says, rolling his eyes. “Haven’t you outgrown that yet?”
You shrug, directing your gaze back to the page in front of you. Today, you should avoid the color pink and embrace your skepticism. Oscar’s doing enough of the last part for the both of you. You could gain a great deal of information from social interactions. That’s helpful- you’ve been in search of some gossip. Your soulmate is just a click away- wait, no, that’s an ad. You huff and set the magazine down on the table. Oscar nods in agreement.
“I just think maybe it’s better to live your life without worrying about what the stars say,” Oscar says, waving his hands around in a way that you think is supposed to represent the stars. “Just, like… do what you want to do.”
“I do,” you mutter dryly. “Doesn’t hurt to have some advice, though.”
The two of you have always been like this. Oscar is a skeptic, you’re a believer. He calls it being easy to brainwash, says it in a teasing way that makes you glare at him every time. He’s taken it as his responsibility to keep you from falling for things. You’ve told him time and time again that you’re fine on your own. You just like the idea of predestiny, that what’s going to happen was always meant to.
Oscar is just worried you’ll join the first cult you cross paths with.
|Age 5|
It’s the day after you turn 5 when you first hear the word soulmate. Sol-meight. You sound it out through your lips, sticky with jam from your breakfast. Your best friend at the time, a girl whose name you’ve long since forgotten, had said it.
“S’when you’re meant to be,” she explains, in that all knowing tone that only little kids who know nothing at all seem to have. “Like, my mum and dad say they’re soulmates.”
Oscar, who’s sitting next to you, scoffs. “Everyone’s parents say that. Doesn’t mean it’s true.”
He’s taller than you, even sitting down, hair cut short after one of his sisters stuck gum in it a few days ago. His cheeks are rosy red, and there’s cream cheese on his nose. Years later, Oscar’s face will be one of the first ones you ever remember meeting. Right now, he’s just the boy in your class whose mother knows your mother, and because of that, he’s the boy who rides to school with you in the backseat. He’s not the worst, you guess. He’s… okay. Sort of just… always there.
“Is too!” Your friend says, shaking her head, pigtails bouncing. “Mum says there’s signs.”
“What kinda signs?” You ask, and Oscar turns to look at you in disbelief.
She shrugs. “Dunno. I’ll ask later.”
She comes back to the breakfast table the next day with a magazine page, torn haphazardly and slightly crumpled. On it is a list of signs someone could be your soulmate. The two of you pore over the page at every available opportunity for at least a week, barely able to read all the words.
Your friend forgets about soulmates a month later and moves on to an obsession with Barbie dolls. You carry the magazine page with you for years after that, until it’s worn and falling apart. Then you copy down the list into a safer place, worried you’ll lose it forever. 15 Signs He’s Your Soulmate, written with magic marker on pink construction paper and stowed away in your desk.
|Age 10|
“I hate olives,” you sneer, staring at the very last slice of pizza.
It’s a birthday party. You can’t for the life of you understand why there’s pizza with olives on it. Olives don’t belong on pizza- not much does, in your opinion. Just pepperoni, really. Maybe a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if you’re feeling fancy.
Katy, one of your classmates, is standing next to you. “I love olives. Here, I’ll pick them off for you and you can have the last slice.”
The pizza still tastes a bit like olives in the end, probably baked into the cheese, but it’s better than it would’ve been. Katy is your best friend after that. The two of you are inseparable from the moment you get to school until the moment you leave. You beg your mothers for sleepovers on the weekends, for day trips during holiday breaks. YouandKaty. Your names melt together until they become one.
Oscar still rides to school with you in the morning. Sometimes, Katy does too. Katy doesn’t like Oscar. She doesn’t like most boys, calls them gross. Since Katy thinks boys are gross, you do too.
“Be nice to Oscar,” your mother tells you one morning. “He’s not done anything to you.”
You’re in the backseat of the car, on the way to his house. “He’s a boy. Boys are gross.”
Your mother sighs, pinches the bridge of her nose. She says your name sternly, and you shrink in your seat. When Oscar gets in, you say hello and force a smile.
Oscar’s the one who finds you crying on the playground. You thought you’d chosen a better hiding place, really- nobody had bugged you in your spot between the two large myrtle trees. But Oscar finds you anyways. You can’t even bring yourself to tell him to go away, too busy feeling sorry for yourself.
“Wha’s wrong?” He asks.
His cheeks are red- he’s likely been running around with the other boys. You shrug, pulling up another clump of grass and letting it fall from your fingers. Oscar sighs, scuffs his toe in the dirt.
“Katy doesn’t wanna be friends anymore,” you say, rubbing at your bare knee. “She says I’m not cool enough.”
Katy likes olives. You don’t. It’s on the soulmate list. You’re meant to be best friends.
Oscar’s quiet for a moment. Then- “That’s stupid. You’re like, the coolest person I know.”
You look up at him with wide eyes. “Shut up.”
“M’serious,” he says. He holds his hand out to you. “Wanna come play cricket with the gross boys?”
You take his hand, wipe your tears with your other hand. “Yeah. I do.”
|Age 12|
“Are you and Dad soulmates?” You ask your mother one morning, before you even leave the house.
She’s standing at the counter, a piece of toast in her hand, half eaten. Her coffee is half drank, too.
She tilts her head at you. “What do you mean, love?”
“Like, when you met, did you just know he was the one? Did it feel meant to be?”
She laughs. “Oh, god no. We were polar opposites. Barely spoke to each other for the first year after we met.”
You stare at her in surprise. “What changed?”
She sighs, wistfully, staring into her mug. “He asked me if I wanted an orange. I said yes. And when he handed it to me, he’d peeled it for me.”
You blink. “Because you hate peeling oranges.”
“I do,” she agrees. “Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. I think love is more about the choices we make and the things we remember about each other than whatever is written in the stars, honey.”
|Age 15|
There’s a boy on the football team- Ryan. Ryan has dark, curly hair and long, long eyelashes and this smile that makes your heart melt and your brain all fuzzy. Ryan doesn’t like olives, either, but he has a birthmark on the back of his right hand in the shape of a lopsided heart, and if you squint hard enough, you have one that matches on the back of your left arm. You stare at in the mirror for hours after he points it out, his hand on your arm.
You stare at your lips in the mirror for hours, too, after he kisses you for the first time. You think maybe you look different. You must. You’d never been kissed before, but Ryan hadn’t minded.
You go on group dates with him, because you’re nervous and your parents think you’re a bit too young to really be dating. You go to the mall, the movies, the diner down the street from the school. It’s your first taste of freedom.
Oscar asks you if you really like Ryan, like- “like like him?”, one day when you’re sitting in his backyard. Your mothers are inside, drinking wine. His sisters are in the pool, you’re laying out in the sun. Oscar sits under an umbrella and squints at the brightness of the world around him.
“Yeah,” you say, in the same tone you’d say duh or of course. “I think he’s my soulmate.”
“Why’s that?” Oscar asks tilting his head.
“We have matching birthmarks,” you say, again, in the same tone.
Oscar forms his mouth into a little o shape. You squint at him, pushing yourself to sit up.
“Why’re you so worried about it, anyways?”
“M’not,” Oscar says, crossing his leg over his knee. “S’just. He’s kind of an arse, isn’t he?”
He whispers the curse word so his sisters won’t hear. Oscar’s big into karting and racing right now, and the older boys at the tracks swear like sailors. There’s a swear jar stuffed to the brim sitting on the kitchen counter inside, right next to the half empty wine bottle.
Ryan is a bit of an arse, you’ll admit. To almost everyone.
“He’s nice to me,” you shrug. “He brought me flowers, yesterday. Isn’t that what matters?”
Oscar shrugs. He doesn’t ask about Ryan again.
Oscar is the one who brings you flowers when Ryan cheats on you and the other girl tells the whole school. He brings them to your bedroom door and you let him in. He sits with you, even as you cry, the door open the parentally required six inches. He doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t tell you he warned you. He just stays.
When Oscar moves to England, you wave goodbye with a smile. Then you lock yourself in your room and bawl your eyes out for a week straight, harder than you ever did about Ryan.
|Age 18|
Your university roommate, Emma, was born on the same day as you, at the exact same time. Down to the minute. You find it out on your second day of living together. It’s fate, kismet, meant to be. The stars and planets were aligned exactly the same way when you both took your first breaths.
Oscar laughs when you tell him, though he does admit that it’s a pretty cool coincidence. You’re chatting with him on the phone, telling him about your first week of university. You talk a lot, despite the distance. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, or whatever.
You and Emma aren’t in any classes together- you have completely different majors. Despite this, you still become fast friends. You study together in your room and in the library, meet up for meals, and join a book club together. When Emma gets invited to her very first uni party, she brings you along with her. Your closets become shared.
You visit her family over the winter break for a week. She lives closer to the beach, and you love getting to soak up the sun with her and meet all the childhood friends you’ve heard stories about. Oscar comes home for his break and texts you, wondering when you’ll be back and if you’ll even have time for me, or are you too cool for me now?
You tackle him with a hug when you see him, standing at the kitchen counter in your house when you get there. He’s laughing and pushing you off of him, acting like he didn’t miss you just as much. You know he did. It’s written all over the smile on his face.
Emma visits your family later in the break, and that’s when you have your first fight.
“He’s definitely in love with you,” she insists from her spot on the air mattress on your floor.
She’s talking about Oscar, who she just met today. You’d brought her with to a barbecue at his family’s house. You’re regretting that choice. She’s spent all night afterwards pointing out all the signs that he’s in love with you- his hand on your shoulder, the look in his eyes, the way he smiled at you.
“He’s not,” you say, cheeks burning hot. “He’s- we’re friends.”
“Friends, right. Guys and girls can’t be just friends,” she says.
“Yes, they can!” You say indignantly.
Emma ignores you, rolls over, and goes to sleep. She leaves for home the next day- not earlier than she was supposed to, but it feels weird anyways. When you get back to campus, things feel different. You never really talk about the fight, though there wasn’t much to talk about, anyways. It’s not like she’s mean to you- the two of you still hang out, still see each other often. But Emma makes new friends, and you do too, and you stop doing everything together. It’s alright, you suppose, it’s just…
You were supposed to be destined to be friends. But soulmates shouldn’t be this easy to let go of. It’s written in the stars, it’s shouldn’t fade away like this.
Months ago, you and Emma had talked about spending the holiday break somewhere far away- somewhere tropical, exotic, so grown up and chic. But it hasn’t come up lately, and then she mentions a trip she’s taking with some friends from her classes. You book a flight to England instead and see Oscar in his new home for the first time.
You have new roommates next year. None of them have the same birthdate as you. You think that’s okay.
|Age 21|
There’s a stain on your dress, someone’s wine or sangria or cranberry juice that they’d been too clumsy with. You suppose it could be yours- you’re really not sure. It’s your fault for wearing such a light color to a club like this.
It’s your birthday. You’ve been able to drink for a few years, but it’s still your birthday, and for once, Oscar is there for it. Or really, you’re there for it, there being England. You’re on yet another trip to visit him, money saved and scraped together from your job on your breaks from school. Oscar helped pay for the plane ticket as a birthday present, and your parents got you a new luggage set to take along.
Oscar’s disappeared- at the bar, you remember, closing out his tab. You check your phone- 2:22 am. It’s really time you should be headed home-
You’re jostled from behind, and moments later, you feel cool liquid deep down your back. You turn, and there’s a guy standing there, sandy blonde hair and a terrified look on his face.
“I’m so sorry,” he says, British accent smoothing the words over. “I didn’t mean to-“
“S’okay,” you tell him, though you wrinkle your nose at the feeling of what was likely beer running down your back. “The dress was stained already.”
The man sighs. “It’s not okay- let me make it up to you. Can I buy you a drink?”
You frown. “I think I’m supposed to be leaving. My friend just went to pay.”
“Oh. That’s too bad.” The guy’s eyes light up, then. “Wait, how about I take you on a date?”
Your heart skips a beat in your chest. 2:22, you remember. Angel numbers. You are in the right place at the right time.
“I’m only here for a couple more days,” you say, cautiously.
“I’m free tomorrow if you are,” he suggest. “Well, more like later today, but-“
“Yeah, okay!” You’d at brightly, and hopefully not too eagerly. “I’m free.”
He’s holding out his phone for you to put your number in when Oscar pops up. He looks between the two of you with raised brows. “Everything alright?”
“He’s taking me on a date later today,” you explain, tapping the last number. “Because he spilled beer on my dress. Can you check if I put my number in right? My fingers aren’t working right.”
Oscar laughs, leans forward, and nods. “That’s right.”
You don’t remember getting back to Oscar’s apartment. You barely even remember the guy from the bar until Oscar brings it up that morning, a teasing tone in his voice. Suddenly you’re checking your phone every minute, looking for a text from him. You name him Angel Boy, mentioning the angel numbers you’d seen just before you bumped into him. Oscar, well versed in your obsession with things that are just meant to be, rolls his eyes affectionately.
When the sun is trending towards the horizon and Angel Boy still hasn’t called or even texted you, your mood sours. You plant yourself on the couch, an episode of some stupid reality show playing. You’re not paying attention, only staring at your phone.
By the time 7:00 rolls around, you know it’s a lost cause. You can hear Oscar in the other room, shuffling around, and you feel tears well up in your eyes. There’s got to be someone out there who’s actually meant to be yours, right? One of these times the signs will be right, and it’ll all work out. It’s just… you’re getting discouraged.
Oscar appears in front of you and slips your phone out of your hands. He shoves it into his own pocket. He hands you a jacket, one of his, and you stare up at him with wide eyes.
“I’m taking you out to dinner,” he says, as he reaches to brush the tears from your cheeks. “Just because he’s not going to text you, doesn’t mean you should just sit here all night.”
You could cry even harder at that, at the fact that Oscar cares enough to try and break you out of your moping. You don’t really want to go out, but he has this hopeful look on his face. Both of you don’t need to be sad today. So you stand up, pull the jacket over your arms, and take a deep breath. You walk out of the apartment, your arm linked with his.
The ramen bar you go to is probably better than anywhere the guy would’ve taken you, anyways. If you’re being honest, the company is better, too.
|Age 22|
Oscar flies you out to the Netherlands to see him race. You’d been at the Melbourne Grand Prix, of course, but he’d insisted he’d fly you out for at least one race in his first season- promised it years ago, when Formula One was just a dream on his bucket list. Zandvoort works well- it fits into your schedule, and the summer break starts right afterwards, so he’ll actually have time to spend with you.
In the days leading up to the race, he’s extremely busy and extremely apologetic about it. You reassure him that you understand, that you knew what you were getting into, knew he’d be busy. You wander around the paddock, say hi to Logan- who you know only slightly better than all the other drivers- and keep yourself entertained. You spend time with Oscar when you get the chance- between interviews and practices, stolen moments of privacy in his driver’s room. It’s nice, it really is, but it’s also… weird.
You’ve been thinking a lot, lately, about what your mother once said about soulmates and love. For all the soul searching you’ve done, all the stars you’ve tried to read, you’ve come up empty. You’ve resigned yourself to the fact that maybe there’s just not anyone out there for you. Maybe you’re not meant to have a soulmate.
The thing about letting go of that pressure, though, is that it leaves space. Not a hole, not an emptiness, just… space. Room for other things to sneak in and make their home and grow. Somewhere along the lines- you don’t know when, maybe it’s been there all along- a seed had been planted. Now the roots are digging cracks in your heart, the leaves are shading out every other thought, and there are flowers blooming.
For months, now, your heart has been jumping in your chest every time Oscar texts you. You can’t wipe the grin off your face when he calls. You’ve been following every race, waking up at odd hours to cheer him on, sending him selfies with the tv to prove it to him, to make sure he knows you’re watching. You feel a little crazy, because suddenly he’s all you can think about.
Maybe love is about choices. You start making them, start choosing him. The only question now is if he’ll choose you, too.
The whole weekend is chaos. Oscar crashes in practice, sending himself and your heart spinning. He’s okay, thank god- though his mother texts you frantically, asking if he’s really okay. Then the race itself is even more chaotic, between the rain and the crashes and all the stuff in between. Oscar ends up in the points, though not as high as he’d hoped to be. You cheer for him either way.
You stick around the paddock all the way through his debrief, even when he tries to say you can head back to the hotel without him. Eventually, you leave with him and Lando, his arm around your shoulders the whole way to the car that’s waiting. It’s nice. He’s warm. Lando is making small talk, trying to get to know his teammates best friend, the one Oscar never shuts up about. You feel your face grow hot and hope Oscar doesn’t notice.
In the hotel lobby, Oscar makes a stop at the complimentary snack bar. Lando says something about Kim, his trainer, getting after him, which Oscar ignores. The three of you ride up together in the elevator, with Lando demanding most of your attention as he begs for stories about Oscar as a kid. Oscar’s quiet- you wonder if the weekend is weighing on him more than he’d previously let on.
You say goodnight to Lando and then Oscar scans you into the hotel room. Two beds, a couch, and a balcony that the two of you had eaten breakfast on that morning. You walk over to your bed and sit on the edge, flopping down onto your back.
Something lands on your stomach, softly. You look down, and your throat suddenly feels tight. It’s an orange. It’s a peeled orange. Oscar is standing at the window, pulling the curtains closed. His back is to you.
You blink, picking it up delicately. “You peeled it for me.”
“You hate peeling them,” he says. It’s very matter of fact. The same tone he’d use to say duh or of course.
You stare at his silhouette, the slope of his shoulders, the soft puff of his hair. You sit up, stomach turning. Suddenly, you need to be close to him. You stand up, orange in hand, pulling one of the pieces from it. You hold it lightly between your fingertips. Love is an action.
You hold it out to him. He takes it, smiles down at you.
“I love you, you know that?” You say, before you lose the courage.
“Yeah, I love you too,” he says, giving you a goofy look.
“No, like-“ you pause. Maybe you shouldn’t do this. Maybe you should just-
But it’s too late, because a wave of understanding washes over his face. His eyes go wide, lips parting. His hand pauses halfway to his mouth, the orange slice still in his fingers.
“Oh,” he says, voice cracking. His face splits into a grin. “Jeez, took you long enough to catch up, didn’t it?”
When he drops the orange slice on the floor so he can grab your face and kiss you, you’re somehow still so startled that you also drop the rest of the orange. That’s okay, though. He’ll peel another one for you without you even having to ask. Stars light up behind your eyes at the feeling of his lips on yours, and you realize then that maybe soulmates are just the people who choose to stick around.
…..
Deep in your desk in your childhood home, there’s a piece of paper. It’s been unfolded and refolded a million times. At the top, the title says, 15 Signs He’s Your Soulmate in messy, primary school handwriting. You pull it from your drawer and uncap the gel pen that sits in the cup on the desk.
At the bottom of the list, beneath your faded magic marker scrawl, you add:
#16: He peels your oranges.
#16: childhood best friend??
#16: YOU JUST KNOW
little bit of a different format for this one. as always, feel free to check out my other fics and tell me what you think!

Examples of Knuckles sensing all forms of Chaos Energy (and other things?) so I can aggressively point here whenever people forget about it
I see this part of Knuckles' abilities forgotten way too often and it drives me insane so here
1: HE CAN SENSE THE MASTER EMERALD.
Tumblr media
Very blatant. His entire gameplay in SA1 and SA2 revolves around this ability. He innately has the ability to sense the Master Emerald and its shards. Rouge meanwhile is given an Emerald Detector in SA2 to explain her gameplay.
2: HE CAN SENSE CHAOS CONTROLS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He senses "some strange energy" right before Sonic Chaos Controls right in front of him. Essentially predicting a Chaos Control. IDK how else you could read this lmao he literally sensed a Chaos Control. (I swear I never see anyone talk about this ever grrr)
3: HE CAN SENSE SOL EMERALDS AND CHAOS EMERALDS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This interaction in Sonic Rush confirms that he can sense both Sol Emeralds and Chaos Emeralds. For him to be able to mistake Sol Emeralds for Chaos Emeralds without seeing them, he has to be using some sixth sense, and has to be familiar with sensing Chaos Emeralds as well.
4: HE CAN SENSE FAKE/ARTIFICIAL EMERALDS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(This is from a Sonic Station Live segment, unofficial translation found here.)
Knuckles goes looking for a mysterious Emerald presence, and finds Tails' fake Emerald. Pretty straightforward. Also, evidence of the Master Emerald itself being sentient and able to direct Knuckles to investigate anomalies. (I wish more people made use of that, too.)
5: HE... HAS A LITERAL TREASURE SENSE, APPARENTLY?
Tumblr media
(This is from a story on the Sonic Channel website. Original found here, unofficial translation from Windii Gitlord's blog found here.)
This is... a strange one. A bit of an outlier. I assumed that instances of Knuckles sensing treasures were purely gameplay mechanics, but here he appears to literally sense a pair of combat gloves, which is completely unrelated to Chaos Energy. So I guess he can do that too? But maybe it's only because he was led there by the ghosts of his ancestors? Who knows.
Oh yeah. BTW, Knuckles gets sent dreams by his ancestors' ghosts. That is canon. Someone pls use that in some way lol
So anyway. There. A bunch of examples of Knuckles sensing all forms of Chaos Energy, not just the Master Emerald. Throw this at someone if they question the extent of this ability and want evidence lol

Yes, Death is still alive and kicking, and I am as well! 💀
I know this is rather unexpected, especially after the lack of any updates this last year, but I'm back and I owe you all an apology.
Life kicked me in the butt while mocking me that I should still be grateful to live another day. Shit happened and I'm not proud of how I acted. I took a step back from the Abyssal to heal, but I neglected my lovely readers while doing so. I'm not one to openly mope, but I received a lot of concerned asks and I thank every single one of you for still caring about my sorry behind 😊
Now, let's focus on the good part of this whole mess. I've got some news!!
Firstly, The Abyssal went through a considerable rewrite, nothing major but a few passages were added and other pieces were slightly changed. You guys will notice the difference, I hope.
Subscribe to my Patreon if you are interested in the early access, down below are all the release dates and their respective tiers:
Patreon Tier 5 early access: november 1
Patreon Tier 4 early access: november 4
Patreon Tier 3 early access: november 8
Patreon Tier 2 early access: november 12
Patreon Tier 1 early access: november 16
Public release: november 18
PATREON DEMO
Down below you will find some of the changes I made:
Sol is now gender selectable! Now only Wulfric is gender-locked, while the rest of the ROs are all gender-selectable;
Friend!crush Sol (friends to lovers) and Enemy!crush Sol (enemies to lovers). Romancing choices are marked with a 🖤;
Rescue—adopt?—a little kid;
Two interludes were added.
Choose to wear a mask or a veil, and pick between many designs of masks for your Death to wear;
Second part of Chapter 2 is focused on world-building, lore, and Éoin's life as a mortician.
Secondly, a list of small things that I added:
Around 15k words were added to chapter one and 12k to chapter two. The demo now has a total of 100k words;
Now the choices that will unlock the madness and fury domain are labeled.
Added time and location to each memory jump to better situate the reader.
Make sure to check the show stats option! I'll be adding details about the characters and the world of Hylaria there with every update.
Much more.
All in all this is it for this month. Any further changes I'll be sure to tell you guys!!

I dont get how people switch fandoms n stuff so so fast- I haven't left the creepypasta or like- fnaf fandoms since like 2015-2016- and I doubt I'll be leaving this one either- how do people not latch onto things 2 the point it consumes apart of them n fundamentally changes them as a person 2 some degree 😔😔 ~pumpkin anon
Yeah it's always interesting to me too when people are in like a different fandom every other month, idk how they do it haha For me, when I get bored of a series it's usually because I ran out of new stuff to go over. Like I was REALLY into Berserk for a while but then I caught up on the manga (around the infamous boat arc......), then the 2016 anime came out and it sucked and I just got bored and moved on... It didn't have much of a creative community (outside of Japan) either so there weren't fan works to tide me over between official updates, unlike with GG.
Maybe some people go through that cycle really fast?

TKATB: More theories! Yay!
This most certainly will contain spoilers for Days 1 and 2 of @fantasia-kitt 's 'The Kid At The Back', along with containing mentions of material found on her Twitter (https://twitter.com/fantasia_kitt).
WILL HAVE SPOILERS! IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THROUGH DAYS 1 AND 2, I RECOMMEND FINISHING THEM FIRST.
Quite a lot of these may allude to the ones I posted a week(?) ago, but my brain has brained REALLY HARD (almost as hard as when I get when I see Geo) and I think I have more ideas/more specified ideas of what could happen.
- So, I am correct in assuming the fact that the Hallow's Ball is on Day 5 (because Day 1 is in fact Monday); now this might be a stretch, in fact, it probably is, but due to the fact the Higher Class paid a visit to the school, maybe some of them might show up? Or maybe the people who bullied Brittney (think the food fight route) try to publically humiliate her or something, because something tells me she's got a lot of enemies, and something pretty bad is gonna happen to her.
- Geo is mentioned to have been disqualified due to 'accidentally' shooting an arrow at another person and it cutting their hair. Jess mentions we'd have to go 'next year' to see him partake again, so I'm gonna guess this competition is an annual thing. Maybe (and I'm assuming this as well) Geo and Hyugo were part of the Higher Class (because their dad works with the city's Founder, so that's gotta be High Class if I've ever heard it), but they were moved down. Geo is seemingly using archery to try and get selected to return back to the Higher Class, but if so, why get purposefully disqualified over almost potentially killing someone? Maybe, someone *really* pissed him off, or maybe got him sent down for whatever reason (we know Geo has daddy issues so maybe his father treats him like shit because of it) and he's subtly trying to threaten them?
- Along with that, MC wonders why he didn't get arrested. Think about it, he's got money, a lot of it. Hyugo says how corrupt this city is, their father (I believe Geo is an illegitimate child, due to the mother cheating or smth idk) probably paid the cops to not give a shit.
- Hyugo also has a LOT of connections, is often MIA, and is in the student council, so he's got influence. (Maybe adding salt to Geo's wounds indirectly?) I have a feeling he goes MIA for his syndicate activities (he has access to sleeping pills); and maybe because he's part of the council and gets stupidly high ass grades, nobody questions it. Besides, he's probably got some sketchy operations going on to maintain it all.
- With Crowe asking about Marie Antoinette, I now feel that our 'responses' to whether she was a good or horrible person are things HE did. "She was ignorant, she raved while people were starving..." - MC to Crowe when choosing the 'She was a horrible person' choice. I'll ignore the latter part for now, because that was a normal thing for rich people to do at the time. But the ignorant part is interesting. Maybe the reason Crowe is so nice (and it's not a facade, according to Fantasia herself) is because he's trying to redeem himself? Sol, if you don't skip class and let him escort you, states: "Ichabod (Crowe's surname) it's always been you. I should have dealt with him years ago..." So, maybe, at some point, Crowe had a pristine relationship with his family, mother specifically, (he doesn't anymore) and the reasoning behind this is due to the fact he believed he was superior? Maybe he was even a bully at some point? Hell, maybe he even made fun of Sol, and Sol wants to obliterate him for it. He (Crowe) was making him (Sol), and now he is trying to steal his so(u)lmate?! How fucking dare he?!
- Brittney also states that she's astonished about how Deryl has almost no friends, so I think that's incredibly fascinating, because it's true. How does a bubbly, happy jock like him get ignored by so many? Maybe because he helped Brittney (along with Jess) when she was low?
- Again, about Brittney, I feel that that frat party 2 years ago shattered her reputation, her image, everything. I bet some damaging info got spread about her and it led to her 'mysteriously' leaving the cheerleading squad, becoming more isolated and essentially (I'm assuming this) getting moved down with Jess. (Check previous one for why I think Jess got moved down as well, but tldr is she lost her shit, maybe got physical and it got her and Brittney sent to the worse school together). - On Fantasia's twitter, there's a Day 3 nsfw image of Sol essentially standing in front of a mirror with blood everywhere (ill link the slideshow that i have of every image i found/liked), anyway it's the right one on slide 9; with the caption "All I see are flaws"....so maybe if you ignore him on Day 3 and hang out with Crowe, he'll start losing his shit? Maybe thinking he isn't good enough? - Also, in the Day 2 NSFW scene, there are some prominent burn marks on Sol's back...does he get abused to this day? Does he live alone and they're scars?????? Maybe that's what he meant when he says "I've been dealt worse" in relation to the bullying? He does have history with them after all.
So. That's basically it, brain will continue to brain. Until then, ciao. (and yes the Geo fanfic is coming dw) Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Wb_biHRk6g1gKj0WZ5XVwEtKGjFRTapDYerlEyhYPGE/edit#slide=id.g2cffd4cd112_0_34

5 Essential Tips for Mastering Scene Writing in Your Novel
Tumblr media
There's many parts involved when writing a scene. Knowing how these different pieces work together may help you move forward in your novel. NaNo Participant Amy de la Force offers some tips on brushing up your scene writing knowledge. Scenes are the building blocks of a novel, the stages where characters spring to life, conflicts brew and emotions run high. Mastering the art of scene writing is crucial for any aspiring writer, especially in the lead-up to NaNoWriMo. But what is a scene, and how do you effectively craft one? 
What is a Scene? 
A scene is a short period of time — in a set place — that moves the story forward with dramatic conflict that reveals character, generally through dialogue or action. Think of writing a scene as a mini-story with a beginning, middle and end, all contributing to the narrative. 
Why Scene Writing is Your Secret Weapon in Storytelling
Well-crafted scenes enhance your story to develop characters, advance the plot, and engage readers through tension and emotion. Whether you're writing a novel, short story or even non-fiction, scenes weave the threads of your story together.
Tip #1: Scenes vs. Sequels
According to university lecturer Dwight Swain in Techniques of the Selling Writer, narrative time can be broken down into not just scenes, but sequels. 
Scene
The 3 parts of a scene are:
Goal: The protagonist or point-of-view (POV) character’s objective at the start of the scene.
Conflict: For dramatic conflict, this is an equally strong combination of the character’s ‘want + obstacle’ to their goal. 
Disaster: When the obstacle wins, it forces the character’s hand to act, ratcheting up tension. 
Sequel 
Similarly, Swain’s sequels have 3 parts:
Reaction: This is the POV character’s emotional follow-up to the previous scene’s disaster. 
Dilemma: If the dramatic conflict is strong enough, each possible next step seems worse than anything the character has faced.  
Decision: The scene’s goal may still apply, but the choice of action to meet it will be difficult. 
Tip #2: Questions to Ask Yourself Before Writing a Scene
In Story Genius, story coach and ex–literary agent Lisa Cron lists 4 questions to guide you in scene writing:
What does my POV character go into the scene believing?
Why do they believe it?
What is my character’s goal in the scene?
What does my character expect will happen in this scene?
Tip #3: Writing Opening and Closing Scenes
Now that we know more about scene structure and character considerations, it’s time to open with a bang, or more to the point, a hook. Forget warming up and write a scene in the middle of the action or a conversation. Don’t forget to set the place and time with a vivid description or a little world-building. To end the scene, go for something that resolves the current tension, or a cliffhanger to make your scene or chapter ‘unputdownable’. 
Tip #4: Mastering Tension and Pacing 
A benefit to Swain’s scenes and sequels is that introspective sequels tend to balance the pace by slowing it, building tension. This pacing variation, which you can help by alternating dialogue with action or sentence lengths, offers readers the mental quiet space to rest and digest any action-packed scenes. 
Tip #5: Scene Writing for Emotional Impact
For writing a scene, the top tips from master editor Sol Stein in Stein on Writing are:
Fiction evokes emotion, so make a list of the emotion(s) you want readers to feel in your scenes and work to that list.
For editing, cut scenes that don’t serve a purpose (ideally, several purposes), or make you feel bored. If you are, your reader is too. 
Conclusion
From understanding the anatomy of a scene to writing your own, these tips will help elevate your scenes from good to unforgettable, so you can resonate with readers.

ᝰ.ᐟ mark lee — "boladona".
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— mark lee × leitora — gênero: fluff, sugestivo. — conteúdo/avisos: br!au, mark carioca, strangers to lovers, consumo de bebida alcoólica, muitos palavrões, "carioquês" (isso inclui: expressões idiomáticas, a não realização de alguns plurais e gírias), pegação ♡. — word count: 2630 + 3 prints. — nota da autora: se você é carioca, NÃO leia essa fic (tô morrendo de vergonha). Sou nordestina e nunca sai do "meu país" nordeste, então não sei o que fiz aqui...
O Rio de Janeiro, de fato, continuava lindo. Mas lindo mesmo seria o inferno que você ia fazer na vida da sua amiga se ela não achasse a chave do apartamento de vocês nos próximos cinco minutos. Ficar presa na praia não soava ruim, na verdade, soava péssimo. Você precisaria de um banho eventualmente, pois ficar sentindo a areia entrar em lugares nos quais você sequer achava que era possível de se entrar alguma coisa não estava nos seus planos.
"Sabia que eu devia ter trazido a minha. Vacilei 'pra caralho.", você resmungou pela décima vez em menos de 5 minutos.
"Relaxa, pô! Já falei que tá aqui dentro.", ela tentou esconder o desespero, enquanto revirava o interior da bolsa completamente desengonçada. Você já estava pensando em como ia provar para o porteiro que: 1. Sim, vocês moravam ali, só que tinham se mudando faz pouco tempo. 2. Não, não era um golpe. "Achei!", ela soltou um gritinho e o alívio se espalhou pelo seu corpo como uma onda.
Você até levantou os braços para cima, num gesto cômico, agradecendo aos céus. Mas como se os céus respondessem um "Não comemora não, minha filha.", você sentiu uma pancada súbita no seu braço e, antes que fosse capaz de perceber que levou uma bolada sinistra, reclamou de dor, com um "ai" exagerado. A lista de palavrões que circularam na sua cabeça enquanto você se virava era extensa, mas sumiu assim que uma silhueta diferente veio se aproximando.
"Machucou, princesa? Desculpa ae!", a voz doce inundou sua audição, falou cheio de arrependimento. Seu cérebro lutava para processar uma resposta, já que seus olhos estavam muito ocupados em 'secar' o homem na sua frente. Era o conjunto perfeito para te desconcertar: a pele amorenada carregava umas gotinhas que você não sabia distinguir se eram suor ou água, a bermuda se sustentava na parte mais baixa do quadril — a visão deixava pouca coisa para a sua imaginação —, a camiseta jogada de qualquer jeito em cima de um dos ombros, o escapulário prata e o boné virado para trás deixavam o homem muito... ahem! atraente (gostoso).
"Só um tiquinho, mas 'tá de boa.", finalmente conseguiu responder alguma coisa, rezando para que ele não tivesse percebido seus olhares nada discretos.
"Papo reto? Que bom então. Mas juro que não foi na maldade, princesa. Desculpa mesmo.", você não ia ignorar o fato de que também viu os olhos dele descendo pelo seu corpo, mas é bom deixar quieto. Ele olhou para trás vendo que os amigos já haviam buscado a bola. "Cê quer jogar?", você inclinou o rosto, curiosa com o convite repentino. "Como pedido de desculpa.", ele explicou. Olhou de soslaio para sua amiga, que observava interação com cara de 'vai pelo amor de Deus'.
"Pode ser.", deu um sorrisinho doce.
"Já é então.", ofereceu a mão para que você pegasse, te ajudando a levantar. "Tua amiga vem também?", agora foi a sua vez de olhar com cara de 'vem pelo amor de Deus'.
[...]
Não demorou muito para que você e sua amiga ficassem confortáveis junto dos outros quatro homens que vocês sequer sabiam os nomes — jogar altinha é sinônimo de união em qualquer lugar do país. O clima estava gostosinho, dava para ouvir as pessoas conversando de fundo, uma mistura de vários estilos musicais diferentes e as gargalhadas de vocês quando algum dos meninos não conseguia pegar a bola. O sol de fim de tarde coloria o céu com um gradiente que ia de amarelo à laranja, já dava para sentir a maresia noturna chegando.
As encaradas que você e o homem que te chamou para jogar davam um para o outro eram bem evidentes, não diziam uma palavra sequer — mas, honestamente, nem precisava. Cruzaram olhares novamente, ele te deu um sorrisinho malandro, a correntinha do escapulário entre os dentes. A bola passando reto pelo corpo moreno chamou sua atenção e ele nem pareceu ter percebido.
"Se liga, Mark! Tá cego, pô?", a voz de um dos meninos chamou a atenção de vocês dois — 'Mark', é? Interessante.
"Iiiiih viajei, foi mal!", disse atordoado. Não sabia se olhava para o amigo, para o bola ou se continuava olhando para você.
"Vai buscar! Foi parar lá na casa do caralho. Eu que não vou de novo.", o mesmo homem se pronunciou novamente. Já rindo da cara de abobalhado do amigo, com certeza tinha percebido o motivo da distração dele. Viu Mark sair andando sem jeito, em direção à bola. Você pensava em como faria para puxar assunto com ele, já que a situação não era uma das mais favoráveis.
"A gente tem que ir.", ouviu sua amiga sussurrar com urgência, sequer percebeu o momento no qual ela chegou perto.
"Ué, por quê?", você franziu as sobrancelhas. Não queria ir ainda, não sem tentar a sorte com o moreno gatinho.
"Aconteceu um... acidente.", os olhos dela apontaram para baixo, você entendeu imediatamente.
"Tá de caô."
"Pior que não.", dava para ver o desespero nos olhos dela. Você concordou com a cabeça. Saíram apressadas, avisando que precisavam ir embora de um jeito meio atrapalhado. Dava para ver que nenhum dos três homens entendeu nada. Juntaram as coisas com urgência, caminhando até onde sua amiga estacionou o carro. Você viu de longe quando Mark voltou com a bola, a cabeça se virando em confusão, provavelmente te procurando.
[...]
Você não vai negar que ficou chateada por não ter conseguido nenhuma informação sobre o moreninho. Sua amiga mesmo não aguentava mais ouvir você reclamar que o útero dela atrapalhou seu romance. Ela não tinha culpa, mas, poxa, não dava para esperar você ao menos conseguir o Instagram dele? Depois de digitar todas as variações possíveis do nome do homem na barra de pesquisa e não conseguir achar nada, você já começava a perder as esperanças.
"Quem garante que aquele era o nome dele mesmo? E se for um daqueles casos de apelidos que não combinam com o nome da pessoa? Sabe, que nem 'Chico' é apelido de 'Francisco'. Nunca entendi essa porra.", sua amiga tentava surgir com uma explicação.
"Cê tá ligada que não tá me ajudando em nada, 'né?", suspirou frustrada. "Pô, só de pensar que eu nunca vou ver aquela correntinha balançando na frente do meu rosto...", você tentou conter o sorriso sapeca.
"Minha filha??!!", sua amiga se virou como se você tivesse falado uma atrocidade muito grande. Não deu para segurar a gargalhada.
𐙚 ————————— . ♡
Sabe a sensação de achar algo que você tinha parado de procurar faz tempo? Então, foi exatamente você sentiu ao dar de cara com o tal do Mark na sua for you do TikTok (o algoritmo é bem conveniente, não?) Aparentemente, o universo não estava orquestrando contra a sua felicidade. Foi só bater o olho no rostinho bonito que você deu um salto da cama. Era inconfundível, o celular parecia estar apoiado em alguma coisa no chão, dando visão para ele e os mesmos três homens jogando. Parecia ser de uma data diferente, visto que as roupas não eram as mesmas utilizadas no fatídico dia em que vocês se encontraram. Resolveu não ser muito emocionada logo de cara. E se ele tivesse namorada? Nunca se sabe. Esticou os braços com determinação, prestes a entrar numa jornada que consistia em stalkear o moreno para conseguir mais informações.
Mark parecia ser bem ativo, havia uma quantidade interessante de vídeos de todos os tipos. A maioria era na praia com os amigos ou dele mesmo tocando alguma coisa no violão, não deu para não ficar um pouquinho mais apaixonadinha pelo sorriso bonito de Mark. Não foi difícil constatar que: não, Mark não tinha namorada. Essa descoberta aconteceu de um jeito muito interessante. A resposta para a sua maior dúvida apareceu numa postagem de uns 6 dias atrás — data na qual vocês se viram pela primeira e última vez.
O vídeo no qual Mark basicamente "biscoitava" usando o mar de plano de fundo sob a legenda bem nítida que dizia "para a menina que levou uma bolada minha na praia: volta vida pfv :(", te fez rir de início, completamente desacreditada. Você ficou sem saber como prosseguir por um tempo, optando por comentar alguma coisa no vídeo só para ver no que dava. Não demorou muito para você conseguir uma resposta — se "PQP nem fodendo" pode ser considerado uma resposta. Depois disso, o caminho para conseguir o telefone do moreninho foi facílimo.
𐙚 ————————— . ♡

𐙚 ————————— . ♡
A porta do quarto da sua amiga foi escancarada, você sequer conseguiu rir do susto que ela levou, muito mais preocupada em intimá-la que:
"Nós temos um encontro.", disse apontando para ela de um jeito dramático.
"Nós?", questionou numa confusão meio cínica.
"Sim, eu e você. Hoje mesmo. Que tal?"
"Isso ainda é sobre aquele tal de Mark?"
"Claro que é. Gostoso 'pra caralho! Eu que não vou perder a oportunidade. Ah! E não se faz de sonsa não... eu bem que vi você toda se querendo 'pra cima daquele outro cara lá.", julgou sua amiga com o olhar, se jogando na cama dela como se o quarto fosse seu.
"Iiiiih, só achei ele bonito. O que é que tem demais nisso?"
"Pois o nome dele é Jeno, ele é de sampa e aparentemente não tem namorada. Gostou?"
"Cê não bate muito bem da cabeça, faz quanto tempo que você tá stalkeando esse garoto?"
"Não importa. Cê vai, não vai? Preciso de apoio moral.", olhou com carinha de cachorro que caiu da mudança.
"A gente viu esses moleques uma vez na vida. Cê acha que é uma boa ideia sair assim? Segurança em primeiro lugar, pô"
"Você literalmente conheceu seu antigo namorado no tinder, que papo é esse de segurança?", o deboche era nítido. "E, se te conforta, tô conversando com ele faz uns dias já e vai ser num barzinho lá na orla. Confia na mãe.", encheu o peito para falar, como quem sabe muito bem o que diz.
"Se alguma coisa der errado,a louça do jantar vai ficar por tua conta pelas próximas duas semanas."
"Fechô então."
[...]
"Pô, longe 'pra caralho! Ele queria que eu fosse com ele buscar essa porra lá em Belford Roxo. Com todo respeito, mas nem se eu tivesse dando o meu- Oi, princesa!", Mark interrompeu a si próprio quando te viu. Falava todo animado, enquanto os outros homens caíam na gargalhada. Já era fim de tarde, o movimento já começava a se concentrar nos diversos bares e restaurantes que haviam ali por perto. O sol carregava o mesmo gradiente colorido, mas que nunca deixava de encantar. O ambiente parecia muito agradável: cervejinha, música e conversa boa — não tinha como negar um rolê assim.
Os meninos cumprimentaram você e sua amiga sem acanhamento algum, como se já fossem conhecidos de longa data. Mark levantou para te abraçar, o perfume invadindo seu olfato sem nem pedir licença. Estava tão bonito quanto você esperava que estivesse, dessa vez um pouquinho mais arrumado — e, infelizmente, com o corpo mais coberto. A bendita correntinha ainda adornava o pescoço bronzeado e isso chamou sua atenção. Um arrepio percorreu sua espinha com o beijinho molhado que você recebeu atrás da orelha. O "você tá linda" sussurrado bem baixinho também não ajudou muito. Puxou uma cadeira do ladinho dele e ali você ficou pelo resto da noite.
[...]
A tensão entre vocês dois começava a ficar insuportável. Você não sabia se estava óbvio para o restante das pessoas na mesa, mas esperava muito que não estivesse. O perfume de Mark parecia não sair de você desde o momento em que ele te abraçou, não sabia se era culpa da proximidade ou se o homem havia conseguido a proeza de ficar impregnado nas suas roupas. Ele não estava ajudando em nada, fazia questão de sussurrar no seu ouvido mesmo para falar de coisas que não precisavam ser sussurradas e, quando não fazia isso e resolvia conversar com uma distância 'segura' não escondia o fato de estar encarando sua boca. O sorrisinho de canalha bem evidente toda vez que ele percebia que te deixava sem jeito.
Sentiu a mão dele se apoiar na sua coxa, enquanto ele conversava com um dos meninos com a maior naturalidade do mundo. Viu ele se virar para 'escanear' seu rosto procurando algum sinal de desconforto e relaxando assim que você sorriu discreta para ele — porque não, você definitivamente NÃO estava desconfortável com isso. Esse "apoio" não demorou para se tornar um carinho muito gostosinho com as pontas dos dedos, você deu mais gole no seu copo, tentando se acalmar.
"Vem comprar cerveja comigo, princesa?", ele disse baixinho, o rosto estava perto. O seu cérebro não estava numa situação muito boa, pois seu primeiro movimento foi encarar o homem em completa confusão, aquilo não fazia sentido.
"Ué, e não vende cerveja aqui, não?", viu Mark soltar um risinho com a pergunta.
"Mas a que eu quero não tem aqui.", ele lambeu os lábios, olhando sua boca de um jeito nada discreto. Okay. Agora você entendeu. Definitivamente entendeu. Estava bem claro.
Ele se levantou com calma e você seguiu os movimentos logo depois. Entrelaçou a mão na sua, informando o que vocês iam fazer com a maior tranquilidade do mundo. Você olhou sua amiga de canto, ela provavelmente não iria se importar muito — já que estava ocupada demais caindo no papinho de Jeno.
Mark caminhou com você até um quiosque que parecia estar fechado, as luzes apagadas, a única iluminação vinha dos estabelecimentos ao redor. Você não conseguiu refrear o susto quando ele te encurralou em uma das paredes mais escondidinhas.
"Mark! Meu Deus...", disse entre risos.
"Foi mal!", ele mesmo ficou sem graça com as próprias ações. Ficava envergonhado com facilidade, era muito fofo. "Não 'tava conseguindo mais me segurar, princesa.", as mãos tomaram a sua cintura com cautela. "Cê tá tão cheirosinha.", sentiu o narizinho roçar na lateral do seu pescoço. A barbinha mal feita arranhando um pouquinho também, seu corpo inteiro arrepiou.
Não demorou muito para Mark te puxar para um beijo necessitado, o gostinho de cerveja dominando seu paladar deixava a situação mais interessante. Movia a cabeça de um lado para o outro com lentidão, te beijando com calma e sensualidade — sua mente estava enevoada, os suspiros escapando sem controle. Você não sabe quanto tempo ficaram aos amassos, Mark tinha uma das pegadas mais gostosinhas que você já experimentou. Quando o fôlego faltava e vocês precisavam se afastar o homem fazia questão de brincar com seu pescoço, os beijos molhadinhos e as lambidinhas que ele deixava, faziam suas pernas amolecerem.
Você não era boba de sair no prejuízo, fez questão de tirar "uma casquinha" dele também. Mordia a boquinha macia, lambendo logo em seguida para amansar a dorzinha gostosa. Enfiou as mãos por baixo da camiseta do homem, correndo as unhas com cuidado, sentido o abdômen dele se contrair com o carinho.
"Não maltrata assim que eu me apaixono.", a voz grave ao pé do ouvido te fez querer provocar mais um pouquinho, mas você se segurou — aquele não era o lugar mais apropriado para isso. Se despediram com mais um beijo carente, os selinhos e sorrisos parecendo sem fim, vocês não queriam ter que se soltar.
