I think my fic where Xander accidentally becomes a successful novelist (largely without realizing it) is the funniest idea I’ve ever had. This guy started writing little stories to remember their adventures in Sunnydale (his last line in Chosen about “how will anyone even know about this unless we tell them” burrowed itself into my little archivist brain and won’t let go) and posts them online. He unintentionally goes viral. He thinks someone named Simon N. Schuster is leaving him voicemails. He ends up on the New York Times bestseller list.
He doesn’t even realize that everyone else thinks the stories are fiction. Xander is out here writing autobiographical non-fiction but everyone else thinks he’s a weirdly dedicated author that’s really committed to maintaining a Lemony Snicket style pseudonym/persona for the narrator of his novel. There are “Who Is Xander Harris?” articles. No one can dig up much of anything on him because he lived his whole life in a town that got wiped off the map. He keeps rejecting requests for interviews because of his stage fright. At first this drives his publicist absolutely ballistic but it just adds the the air of mystery that’s drumming up book sales so she lets it go.
He only responds to questions over email and only ever responds “in character” as his “novel’s narrator” and this baffles everyone, only adding to the supposed mystery. It’s literally not even Xander actually writing the emails 95% of the time. It’s Dawn. She has appointed herself as “Xander’s representation” even though she doesn’t really know what being someone’s representation means. She printed business cards.

So today I spent some time with my boyfriend on V/RCh/at...
We hang out over there fairly often, but he'd recently gotten a V/R headset so he's able to express himself a lot more and it's a delight to watch!
But of course with having the kink, there's a little thought that would pop up in the back of my mind wondering... what would happen if that cute nose of his started acting up while he was on his headset?
Today I got my answer. His nose started feeling itchy while we were chilling and talking, and I got to enjoy seeing him point at it to inform me — and eventually rub at it through the avatar! It was so cute!! I even got distracted in the middle of talking because he had to rub his nose, and he sure enjoyed that~!
Soon enough, his headset battery started running low, so we had to sign off for the moment. No sneezes this time, but in his own words: "It almost happened a few times. But, uh.. It didn't happen."
We texted a little bit about it, and he confirmed that he would in fact let me hear if it happened (what a sweetheart 💕), and left it at that... for a while, anyway.
Later, he invited me back to chat and listen to music with him and I happily obliged. A couple of hours in, that tickle decided to rear its head again and he was back to rubbing at his nose ever so often — sometimes pretty roughly. He mentioned it might be a mix of his allergies and seemingly his bangs brushing against his nose under the headset bugging him.
As time passed, the itch got so bad that he could barely speak, resorting to a mix of rubbing at his nose, trying to distract himself by reaching for the virtual motes floating around us, leaning onto my avatar's shoulder, and pointing at his nose whenever I asked if he was alright. The poor guy really was struggling, and all I could really do was reassure him while keeping him company.
It got to the point where he'd keep his hand raised to his nose to rub at it frequently, explaining that "having to sneeze and it not coming out is exhausting, hence the slow arm lowering."
He'd lower his arm a few times, but his hand always found its way back to his nose before long. This kept up for several agonizing minutes until finally... it happened.
He raised his head a little, then again ever so slightly, and then jolted it down into his hand as the sound came through — a tiny gasp into one of his adorable stifles that never fail to make my heart flutter. I don't know how else to describe it other than saying it was a perfect moment~
With that sneeze finally out, he was afforded enough relief to relax somewhat, and even though it was around that time that his headset started to run low on battery again, I think it's safe to say we were both pretty satisfied with that experience.
Isn't that right, @sneezytomatosquish? ❤️

watching this au somewhat-flesh out in the tags like heeehoo giggling and twirling my hair etc. thank u for sharing its really cool to hear about this especially your reasonings behind things :) and the au name FUCKS btw 10/10 on that one (you can take this as a free space to ramble more about it if you like)
AHHH TYSM ANON!! ive been having a lot of fun with au (but im a lil. tapped out for ideas, but the general idea is that you can do. Whatever you want with this [wowie just like actual mythology!] so!! feel free to add on/make ur own/be inspired or whatever from this ^_^ most of this is mostly what i feel from Vibes anyways [and i would be very very happy to see any content in general so !!!])
ANYWAYS going to use this an opportunity to ramble about clown and spoke!! this is gonna focus more on their myths rather than their cults bc. i have a clearer image abt their myths than their cults (and vice versa for ash and red)
ANYWAYS lets start of with clown! ^_^ for some context, clown's username used to be godlysins (which is something he only went by for a little bit, he's been using clownpierce for a Lot longer) but basically id imagine he'd start off as a god, and after some time his mythology would be about him rejecting godhood and being able to complete impossible tasks as a mortal (also he gets a name change, pissing off any historians trying to study him <3), so essentially functioning as a greek hero in this au (also bc i think there's this cool quote of him saying that he's human, so that's a fun tie in!). anyways he's popular among warriors and looked up by anyone who wants to accomish something really hard :)
i also mentioned spoke being an import god in my tags where i mentioned clown, and that idea is mostly because iirc he got a lot of his powers from a hypixel exploit? don't quote me on that though im not very caught up on his lore (or ls lore in general </3 i cant watch streams bc of School and energy levels) . anyways since he seemingly got his powers from a 3rd party, id imagine (similar to the original theory about dionysus' origin before we found his name in older records) that spokes origin myths would have him coming from some far off land and having arcane powers compared to the other god bc he got it from somewhere else ^_^ awesome! (also this is a Different reason to why i think ash is more of an import god bc ash is known for. a lot of things? like you cant really point where Most people know him, so that idea kinda transferred to him being an import god)
but YA! ty for the ask anon <3 i loveeeee thinking abt related ideas abt a topic so ^_^ tysm for the ask and giving me a chance to talk abt clown and spoke!!!

Well I’ve only had Age’s dad for a day and I already took away his arm lol. I was thinking that he lost his arm during his heroic moment that gave him such a high honor but decided to lose his arm sometime after the calamity or something. There’s this battle in AOC and idk if you’ve played the game or if you care for spoilers but let’s just say it’s a good way to get rid of his arm. The limp in his leg caused him to make a mistake and he lost his arm. Age was there of course and he felt a lot of guilt over it. Unfortunately with the loss of his arm, he was discharged as a body guard and retired back home with his wife and daughter. He’s happy, but he does miss the action. He’s actually learned how to fight with one arm and still is phenomenal at shield surfing. Foolishly, he likes to go to mount Hylia at times to get the best slopes down. But what makes him sad is how little he can see Link.
I literally yelled OH NO when I read that he lost his arm awwwwwwwwww poor baby T-T D:
I have Age of Calamity, I've gotten to the point where Zelda awakens her powers but haven't managed to beat the battle at Fort Hateno yet. That game is hard. Not to mention I don't have the stamina for it most days lol, those battles last like half an hour on average XD But it's fun seeing how the story differs.
Poor CalamiDad, aaahhhh I want to give him the biggest hug PLEASE TELL HIM I LOVE HIM OK
At least he gets to be with his wife and daughter <3 But not as much with Link </3 OH MY HEART
SMILES I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

what does your new url mean?
also thank you for keeping the pfp I recognized it immediately and was only confused by the url lol 💕
Awww thank you SO much for asking 🫶🏻
First of all it’s a little excerpt from a line in one of the ending verses of Townes’s Pancho & Lefty. The full verse goes:
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends, we're told
As the symbol of Pancho’s heroic death and his magical resting place where he is immortalized by poetry and gets to live forever in the memory of people - he will always stay young and beautiful just like the desert will always be “quiet” - one day it hit me how obvious was the parallel with the very real but no less legendary (and insane) story of Gram’s death and subsequent “desert funeral” at Joshua Tree.
The story behind it is actually, I had originally come up with it as the perfect title for an hypothetical song I would write about the two of them. As the perfect link between the two people who have been my inspiration, my lifeline, my everything for about a couple of years now - my Pancho and my Lefty, if you will.
