#some more angst than others
Text
So you know those dating sims where you do every route imaginable and when you do the “true” route last the character breaks the fourth wall and calls you out and is aware that their whole life was just an endless loop?
That’s the entire vibe of the Reset Loop AU
#DHSSKSJSKS#listen I just love time loops so much#that and I had so many ideas for how each loop played out#some more angst than others#others more hilarious and cathartic#cala rambles#The Reset Loop AU#dsmp#dreamsmp#dream smp#dsmp au#dreamsmp au#au

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).
He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.
And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.
No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.
Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)
He needs to be quick.
Efficient.
Perfect.
And so he comes and goes like the wind.
Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.
Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.
He'd rather he never be late ever again.
It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...
.
.
.
" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.
"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.
Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.
He imagines hearing a clock ticking.
Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?
Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.
#kaeyachi randoms#kaeya#kaeya alberich#this is actually shorter than it originally was can yall believe?#kaeya with anxiety truther there i said it#kaeya cant stand being IDLE#get it? get it?#you see that is a play of words in reference to when he is stood idle on our screens. he is one of the more verbally impatient characters#and we also see it reflected on his actions both in fighting and at work. he has a speed boost bonus and if he isnt teleporting he is#actually moving so fast that he seems like it. this is what i also concluded that results him in large amounts of free time that only amber#seemed to be hardpressed about. the people of mondstadt find him reliable and approachable despite the lax attitude and frequent nights at#angels share. we also had lore tidbits before of kaeya straight up saying he finished all his work and jean saying that he also did the#backlogged ones. It is actually insane that we hear him relaxing frequently and i bet its not because of the lack of horses COZ LOOK AT HOW#BUSY THE OTHER CAPTAINS ARE. Also id like to think that he is a toned down noelle and that is why jean told him to watch over her training#give us noelle and kaeya interactions pls i kinda need it tbh#to all those that reached this far into the notes i actually have more to say so get ready#if it wasnt clear the only day he was late was when crepus died. everything fell apart for him that day so i can see some obsessive need to#just keep running around and doing things as efficient as possible. I also think that he found the knights slow and inefficient in several#occasions and he is willing to put them in the line of fire just to get their hearts pumping with adrenaline (and fear lol). idk kaeya is#just so anxiety-coded. impatience-core. Mr. dont waste my time type of guy. and also wow look i found a way to make his idles become angst#silly me ehe#oh youre still here? how about i tell you that kaeya-efficiency-alberich probably knows where everyone is at any time of the day?#can we honestly please give him more free time i need more of him tbh#fun reminder that bro is working around 3-4 jobs casually lmao#i also just realized that the notes is a whole nother post on its own#AND THE ACTUAL FUNNY PART IS I CAN STILL ELABORATE MORE ON THIS LMAO#wait let me add this one tiny idea too but he thinks time is so valuable. bro lost 2 dads and lost time with his bro + he significantly#lessened his time at dawn winery for quite some time. i can see why he is extroverted now.

sherliam week 2023 - day 1: time-loop; continuation of this au where they started as friends
thanks to sherliamweek for finally making me draw part 2 of this idea FOUR months later.
#hahahaha some angst and cute to attack ppl on day 1?#blame my hands and sherliam they just take over PFF#guess this is more “parallel timelines” than “time loop”#but I’d like to think some things repeat or feel familiar in other timelines or reincarnations#I’m SO weak for reincarnation or alt timeline stories I’m so glad I got to do it again for this dear ship#sherliam#yuukoku no moriarty#moriarty the patriot#ynm sherlock holmes#liam james moriarty#sherliamweek2023

Dick is convinced that food always tastes better after a show.
His dad laughs and tells him it’s just because they’re acrobats and they can’t eat much prior to spending a few hours intricately twisting and flipping their bodies through the air over the dizzying roar of the crowds below. Hunger, he tells his son, has always been the best spice. But Dick thinks there’s more to it than that. There’s something about the buzz — the energy following a performance — that makes even the simplest of dishes special.
With so many different cultures and nationalities represented at Haly’s, Dick is used to eating all sorts of things, learns to tell who’s making dinner each night by the aroma of the various herbs and spices wafting out from the tent. There’s a Russian acrobat and a Taiwanese contortionist and a French wire walker and a clown from Cleveland, and the only common factor seems to be their insistence that the nine-year-old could use some more meat on his bones. He helps his mother stir cornmeal porridge and stuff cabbage leaves with ground meat and rice while his dad, grinning, juggles bell peppers and onions and cans of tomato paste in an arc above their heads.
It’s always late at night by the time they gather around the plastic folding tables with full plates, aching muscles, and weary smiles. Snippets from conversations in three or four different languages wash over Dick, and he doesn’t understand everything, but he doesn’t mind it either. The food and laughter warm him from the inside out, and he eats until his belly is full and his eyelids start to grow heavy. His mother pulls him into her lap and lets him curl up against her chest, and he’s lulled to sleep by the hum of the troupe members’ voices, perfectly safe and content.
The night that Dick’s parents fall to their deaths, there’s beef goulash simmering on the cookhouse stove and just the smell is enough to make him sick.
#dick grayson#fanfiction#batfam#i was scrolling through some of my past fics the other night to answer an ask#and i came across this one#it's the intro to Comfort Food on ao3 but i debated leaving it just as this drabble#which is much angstier than the full fic#the full fic's more bittersweet and i'm a softie#but i wanted to share it just in the drabble format as well#so we can have both flavors#angst#grief#canonical character death#drabble

I love the idea of a death wizard who parallels Malistaire pre-Sylvia’s death working together with Cyrus so much. Cyrus sees his brother in this child and it hurts because he misses his brother so much but it also worries him deeply. The wizard and Malistaire are so similar he can only hope that the trauma the wizard will have to live with after dragonspyre (and even more so after future worlds) will not make them into the man Malistaire is now. And really and truly, Malistaire is just a man overrun with grief over a loved one, which could so easily happen to the wizard. I think it would so interesting to see a villain arc very similar to Malistaires with the wizard
#i have so many thoughts ok#and you do loose people throughout the course of the game!!#azteca! dyvim! (briefly)#i’m sure there are others it’s just been awhile since i’ve played through#wizard villain arc would be so good ok#and i just love the idea of cyrus and the wizard forming a little bit of a found family connection post-dragonspyre#they both need it tbh#i fully imagine my wizard coming to cyrus post-azteca and crying in his tower#a myth wizard canonically has more angst than this possible death wizard in general but tbh i think playing as any of the spirit classes#in the first arc is great#just because the three main-ish characters of that arc are quite literally the teachers of those schools#my main wizard is life and i absolutely think Cyrus saw some of Sylvia’s traits in her#ANYWAYS#rant over#wiz101#wizard101#wizzy101#cyrus drake#malistaire

Tease Tidbit Tuesday 🌟
I was tagged by @thewolvesof1998 @jamespearce9-1-1 @daffi-990 and @wikiangela thank youuu 🫶
I've been tinkering with the screaming universe fic (among other things) and I'm still a little uncertain about some parts of it, but I'm making progress... anyway, please have this angsty tidbit:
Eddie asked him to move in on Sunday and Buck could still picture the way his smile wilted and turned into a first confused then angry frown when Buck let the silence stretch instead of an answer.
“So let me get this straight. You moved in with most of your girlfriends after a couple of months, I ask you after nearly a year and you get tongue tied? Seriously, Buck?” His nostrils were flaring and the volume of his voice was climbing higher and higher with each word and Buck still couldn’t utter a word. Not a fucking one.
“Fine. Have it your way then.” Eddie walked into his bedroom and slammed the door shut, leaving Buck to stand in the middle of Eddie’s living room, still unable to conjure up anything to say.
He stood there frozen and mute until he felt like he could move his legs without collapsing and then he was out of the house and behind the wheel and through the loft’s door before he could make a sound again.
And that sound was an ugly sob of guilt and the inevitability of heartbreak.
✨no pressure tagging: @malewifediaz @spagheddiediaz @jeeyuns @eddiebabygirldiaz @hippolotamus @disasterbuckdiaz @nmcggg @watchyourbuck @theotherbuckley @fortheloveofbuddie @ladydorian05 @rainbow-nerdss
#I swear it's more fluff than angst but... yeah it has some angst and this isn't really the worst of it#anyway#this is only no2 of the whole 5+1 though#and though I'm keep adding to the notes and the draft this is not even on my active wip list#I'll get to it eventually but I wanna finish up my other stuff first#I miss my mudslide babies 😪#buddie#911#wip#the screaming universe fic

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series
#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners#(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as#cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point)#grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.”#to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed.#and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight#plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends#ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst#that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings#and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions#the characters take and so im happy to bring it up#unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before”#which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out#thats for another post though#my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that#which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm)#but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling#anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there#grian#trafficblr#3rd life#3rd life smp#3lsmp

So for spooky season (my favorite season) I wanna write more Ghostmmet oneshots, or at least one or two other ones! I have several ideas lol
But I also wanna write a noncanon crossover with ABYS, where instead of being found in time in ABYS, Emmet dies and becomes a ghost and things get real crazy around the station for a while.
Would people be interested in that, or do y'all think it would be too much? I have. Several ideas, and I think it would be so fun to focus on the spooky horror aspect. Something something a violent end leads to a violent awakening, classic haunting shit, stuff like that. More info in the tags of this post :)
I'd say it would still come to the same conclusion as like. He Trusts You.
But I don't know! Tell me what you think, preferably in comments of this post instead of in separate asks :) Thank you guys preemptively for feedback!
#submas#submas angst#submas conjoined au#i wanna write ghosts sooooooo bad guys you have no idea#also yes emmet is still emmet#just. coming back into the world after experiencing the hell emmet did before he died is hard!#that's what i mean by 'violent'#not like 'hurts people' but like#'very powerful negative experience'#also maybe i just wanna make some lightbulbs explode ya know?#and yeah like. he's half a guy he's gonna look pretty scary#ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY IT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT VISCERAL BC LIKE. HE IS HALF A GUY HIS EVERYTHING IS OUT. THAT IS ALL#do i give away all my ideas before people can read them? maybe so#but idk i like input and warning people more than i like being secretive i guess!#i hope you still like what i make lmao#also this and the other ghostmmet fic are gonna have some similar positive interactions bc they make me go feral thank you goodnight

i just wish more people would explore the way cod is just not so happy, they all have blood on their hands and regrets on the tip of their tongues // sometimes grounding each other is just exchanging meaningful silent looks or just by being there
#do i like angst more than anything? yes why do u ask#they have ghosts standing in the limit of their peripheral vision#death is singing them songs#they are doomed in a way#love is here yes but so is their doubts#showing your love for someone doesn't need to be immediately physical#love is sometimes remembering things that the other one only mentioned once#but then we all differents and it's okay#i'm glad that when i post skeleton art some of u are like ah its eli going insane again it's alright she doesn't bite yet

Things that I still look out for in SwiftSpace:
• Bardon, Lewis, and Tang Xuan talking about their siblings who went to the Decree.
• House Ramses espers talking about House Ramses.
• Hyde talking about the Miracles (PLEASE HE'S BEEN FOCUSING MORE ON HIS OLD MAN HOBBIES)
• Chang Pu posting... just Chang Pu posting.
• More pictures in SwiftSpace please not everyone has a bright imagination-
•Brynn talking to Bennie without sounding so dry/cold....
#jee rambles#dislyte#Q's been taking all the vent posting for himself he should share the angst with other people :)#cause I learned way more about Q in this feature than almost everybody else....#Asenath for one does not post that much#while Tiye has some priv posts I cannot access still#SIGH

The only way I would've accepted seeing pre-fall Crowley and Aziraphale together is if they were like in the Heaven cafeteria, Crowley complaining to a celestial dinnerlady that the lunch options all look bad ("the food hadn't been that good lately"), while Aziraphale walks by in the other direction, needlessly worrying about something. Neither notices the other. They were this close and yet!
Perhaps Aziraphale and another angel are even discussing some rumour about angels starting to ask questions of The Almighty and expresses concern.
Keep in the "how much trouble can I get into for asking a few questions?" or whatever from Crowley but have it be with the disgruntled dinnerlady or one of Lucifer's crew he was presumably hanging out with. Show one of these soon-to-be-cast-out angels casually mentioning to him that they're thinking of bringing up a few of their concerns to "the boss" and would he be interested? It's worth a shot after all. What harm could it to?
Just anything to make it less fucking needlessly dramatic and serious.
#good omens critical#keep it light and comedic!!!!#let crowley be a bit snakey and a bit of a rude shit#he fell in with the wrong crowd fucked around and found out#he doesn't HATE hate his job he just doesn't like acting with his hellish superiors and 2 particularly nasty coworkers#and canonically believes humans can be mucj worse than demons anyway due to our imaginative abilities#and if neil still needed crowley to seem more fundamentally Good as a character then have the other angel(s) manipulate him a little#“mate you're not like these other drones - you're a free thinker! you've got tons of great ideas!”#“you're popular with Them Upstairs - They respect your vision. come with us and we can actually make some inprovements around here”#could've even had pre-fall furfur or shax or those demons with the horn hair whose name I can never remember having around in the scene#establish that they'd Always Been There#and providing a little visual gag#I knew we had a problem as soon as crowley described himself as saunterinf vaguely downwards in s1#because then it became subjective#rather than an objective description of the character given by the authors#it was now crowley's chosen narrative about his fall#and then we got him angsting in his apartment#and crying in the pub#and it was like 'oh for this crowley its just a story hes constructed about himself to put up a protective wall amount his Big Emotions'#and I did not care for it!!!!#etc

okay i just marathoned the entirety of ATLA live action & i might do an actual review of it explaining my thoughts more in depth, but the TLDR version basically boils down to this:
if you want to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, just go watch the 2005 cartoon
#i was trying to keep an open mind & all that cuz of OPLA (my beloved) but. holy shit it was actually worse than i expected :/#like what were they thinking. did they use AI to write this or are the writers just like. really shitty#notes: they linger too much on random bullshit & refuse to move character development along#they tell when they should be showing & when they DO show it's for stuff that benefited from brief environmental storytelling in the OG#the plot drags so hard it was basically stagnant#there were some fun things but like. those things could've been funner if they'd been given the time other useless stuff was taking up#they changed so many minor details that really don't matter in order to make them more important#but this failed spectacularly because now there's just. stupid bullshit clogging up the plot??#instead of having 10 minute monologues 3 times an episode about plot irrelevant things#they should have taken a page out of the original's book & kept minor details to a minimum & focused on ACTUAL PLOT#SO MUCH CGI. LIKE I KNOW THEY NEED IT BUT COME ON. EVEN THE CHARACTERS?????? WHO ARE JUST STANDING THERE????????#they were given 8 hours & almost all of it was Aang angsting (lol) over being the avatar & not practicing actual bending#& then they ended the plot too early so they had to fill in the last like 20 minutes with something else#so they made up random lore that literally makes no sense. & overexplained all of it to the point i was blanking out from boredom#i think this is why i didn't enjoy Korra. they over explain the spirit world stuff & avatar powers & bending#that plus i just don't vibe with the aesthetic#being a writer is a curse because when i dislike something it's because i know exactly what went wrong & why#it's always with the analyzing & the judging & the internal note taking#even when i really try i can't just enjoy shit for fun

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context
#nightbringer spoilers#obey me on side#went back and unlocked the event again because i could not get this out of my brain i know it's probably not that deep#but it is that deep TO ME. okay#baby solomon has been on my brain since thirteen told that story so that's probably why it's sticking in my brain so hard but whatever#in case anyone was wondering the other things to make me sad are:#he has such a deeply excessive amount of lights in his room in purgatory hall there are SEVERAL chandeliers and lamps#there's a good handful in his room in cocytus hall too (his horror dg showed it) if a more normal amount#but that with the 'dim and gloomy' detail. ☹️#i've also always thought that solomon's loneliness wasn't all about the immortal angst but like.#having it confirmed that he's had reason to be lonely since he was a child- before he was old enough to know he was using magic-#totally crushed me girl why can't I be wrong#had emotions about lesson 14 in general but solomon backstory steals the show every time for me so i haven't gotten around to the rest#i'm enjoying the nightbringer story so much (not talking about the game design. that's a different thing entirely) but man#the pacing is WILD it feels like every lesson could be a whole lesson block at the least. it's giving me a lot of room to speculate#which I always love! but i do wish they would slow down a little and expand on some of these concepts they're bringing up#because the basic idea of the game alone is REALLY INTRIGUING and it'd be a shame if they raced back to the present imo#what was i even talking about. sorry my brain fast forwards as soon as i get into the tags there is not one sequitur to be seen#so curious about solomon's friend now too. like my guess is it's going to be lilith (and hopefully not in a popular fan theory kind of way)#because it's more than a little suspicious that they expanded on lilith's views on humans the way they did#in a way that SO PERFECTLY lines up with the expansion on solomon's views on humans#WHICH I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT YET BY THE WAY BUT LIKE. HE IS SO RIGHT AND REAL FOR THAT#it's beyond stressful to me that I think solomon is completely justified in his views and being completely reasonable about it#but that it would also mean war between the worlds presumably while the brothers are still recovering from THEIRS#you cannot give me that choice man. not even sure that the human world would be ABLE to win that fight if we're being real#solomon's 72 pacts are a lot yes but he's still only one guy who is NOT on good terms with the sorcerer's society#and mc is powerful but so so inexperienced. and that's IF they choose to side with the human world which#really i don't think the canon mc is likely to do. but anyway i guess solomon's friend could also be adam maybe?#that could be wishful thinking because i like adam though. even if his hair SUUUCKS#deeply offended by everyone thinking solomon got the fucked up hair when all signs point to adam be NICE TO HIM he's ugly already

I am sad for your 'the end of the top gun era' that will come. Is there any possibility that even when you finish with all your ideas, someday you will still write icemav? Or are you done shipping icemav after everything is said?
i will never stop shipping or caring about icemav, they are my homeboys & my bffs
i just have other real world writing obligations i need to focus on once i post my extras (soon) 😞 have to start dedicating myself to my creative writing thesis & journalism work fully
Yeah if i have other ideas/motivation to finish old ideas i will definitely do that! It’s not goodbye forever
#ok it might be goodbye forever but not for like another 6 mo at least#i still have a bunch of posts to make/update#my masterpost… the playlist… some answered asks in my drafts#I did kind of lose my sophomore year of college to writing top gun fanfic tho#not that I’m not insanely grateful for that because it developed my writing style more than my entire#traditional creative writing education combined#but just in terms of the opportunity cost of working on other (original) projects…#i am a solid semester behind where I should be on my thesis cause i spent last semester angsting about the slider one shot lol#i have to have a novel fully written & edited by next may!!!!#so. time to shift priorities unfortunately#i just want to finish my icemav writing so i can get it out of my head & start clean :)#to that end these extras are just a purge. two ~50k chapters. idrgaf if u like them or not#just getting it all out there !#not top gun
