Can I please request Ghost with a s/o who is very comforting and protective over HIM?!? Like I love seeing Cod characters protecting and being the readers shoulder to cry on, even if they know you can handle yourself, but I wanna comfort my boy ♥️♥️♥️
Hey! Of coure you can! I really enjoyed this request, thank you very much! I'm just very soft for Simon, but I think that much has become obvious by now, haha!
Ghost with a Comforting and Protective Reader
More so than anything, he’d be surprised. He’s 1,95m tall, muscular and brooding. And yet here you are putting his face in your hands, calling him the most handsome man you’ve ever met. It’s not unwelcome, just not something he ever thought he’d have in his life. He expected to be the big, scary protector of his partner for the rest of his life, but having someone want to take care of him like that? Don’t get me wrong, it feels nice, but it also feels somewhat weird to him. He should be the big scary guard dog. While he may not be good with feelings, either his or those of others, he could always lend a listening ear. And yet you kiss his scars, reassure him that you will always stay by his side, no matter what and will tuck him into bed even. At first he doesn’t trust any of this, thinking you to be too nice to him, but eventually he’ll realize that there are no ulterior motives, that you are just like that towards him. And after some time, he’ll start melting into you, growing to trust you more and more each day. Simon would become a bit softer with you, would walk through fire just so he can see you smile. But you reassure him that no such thing is necessary. He may not ever be sure when it would be appropriate for you, but he’d come to crave your touch more and more as time goes on, even going as far as trapping you in the most tender hug he can muster. Sometimes he fantasizes about laying his head in your lap with you playing with his hair a bit, but he wouldn’t admit to such out loud since he still has his pride. You being protective over him would also be weird to him. He can handle himself just fine, so why are you getting mad at the cashier for the pickle in his burger? Why are you arguing with the drunkard wanting to start a fight with him? He won’t know what to do, no one’s ever protected him from anything ever since he was a little child. It would warm his heart a bit and make him appreciate you even more. Sure, he can do just fine on his own, but he’d be lying if he said his heart wouldn’t skip a beat whenever you’re being protective over him. If he could, he’d just pick you up bridal style and carry you home, but you’re in public so he’ll only think about how much he wants to be your little spoon this entire time. He’ll let his guard down around you and show you that he, too, can be a softer guy underneath his rough exterior with in the most domestic ways out there. He’ll think about marrying you immediately once he’s aware that he’s essentially become a softer man thanks to you. But he’ll wait still until he’s sure you’re on board as well.

Update, for the above and more importantly the below.
No. Angels have been talked about waaaaay too much on Tumblr. They're crazy af, no wonder people are drawn to them. They're also the only (mostly) otherworldly beings described in the usual holy writs.
So..... Back to demons and the other religions texts. Yeah? Woo? We go back there yes? I got distracted. Forgive me fellow ghoulies and fiddly bits.
Hopefully I'll have something by this time next week. I know what i have to read and what i need to translate and attempt to grasp.... So it's just a matter of doing that.
Bye for now?
Edit: It would help if i have my work space, The Lab, up and running. Which should be all going in 3 days at the latest. I've ignored these major, difficult systems for too long. So, since Saturday I've been making great strides in the creation of "The Beast" and towards "The small vpn to connect to my network" plug and play for mum. So she can access my media and other fun things.
She can't handle the tech stuff anymore, so this is the best way for me to give her access to the newer, fun stuff.
I think I'll even get her to try VR! I'm kinda giddy about that eventuality. She's 62, work until she drops kinda person... so I'm working with limited time here. Just got to get her prescription details so she can use it.. she requires bifocals at home and uses glasses in general. So, can't have that being a barrier for her. I'd really love if she can experience VR. At least once. I'd even go as far as somehow buy and get it ready for her. Just to use once. It would be... Sigh. I'm tearing up at the idea. I really want to share that with her.
Anyways. Currently rambling about something random.
First, The Lab.
Second, Research.
Third, Reading.
Fourth, Translating (or reading accepted true to intention (with variation/foot notes).
Finally 5th, post about Daemons.
By next week. No joke. This is something my heart and gut is telling me that this is what will make me happy and will bring others happiness.
Later gators! Mwah!.... Love me plz

SSR Ace Trappola - Playful Dress Voice Lines
Tumblr media
When Summoned: Bright and neon lights galore! Maybe being a superstar is my true calling?
Summon Line: It's awesome we get to go to an amusement park, and it's not even a holiday break. This is no time to be sittin' at a desk doing homework.
Groooovy!!: If I gotta be a part of a show, I'm gonna make sure to stand out. C'mon, hurry it up, you get up on the stage, too.
Home: Just gotta make this the time of my life!
Swap Looks: Man, what's going on?
Home Idle 1: Fellow-san is real friendly and easy to talk with. Totally thought he was a bit sus in the beginning, though.
Home Idle 2: Pretty sure snapping pics should be secondary to enjoying the park... But the pic that Cater-senpai took of me looks totally rad!
Home Idle 3: Found the arcade! Since we're all here, lets play a game together. Nooow, what should the penalty game for the losers be?
Home Idle - Login: Alllright, what should we start with? It's been a while since I've been to an amusement park, so I'm super excited.
Home Idle - Groovy: Oh hey, it's almost our turn. That line was crazy long, but I guess it moved pretty fast while we we were chatting away, huh?
Home Tap 1: What, didja find something cool? A street performance, huh... I mean, cool, but ridin' all the roller coasters should be our main priority!
Home Tap 2: There's salted, chocolate-covered, and cheese-flavored... They've got way too many kinds of popcorn here! But meh, as long as we got Grim, I'm sure that'll be no problem.
Home Tap 3: I'm getting sweaty from all this walkin' around. I'm definitely doing the water ride next! Gonna get soaked in water to cool off.
Home Tap 4: The embroidery on my outfit and the cape is super detailed. It's pretty cool, but... I'm a little worried I'm gonna snag it on something~
Home Tap 5: What, tired already? Oh hey, they're handing out drinks over there, so why don't you go get one? And then bring me one, too!
Home Tap - Groovy: Pfft, your hair is all over the place from all the wind. Sooo laaame… Eh, mine, too!?
Duo: [ACE]: I'm gonna trounce 'em all, Vil-senpai. [VIL]: Oh my, show me what you can do, Ace.

How to fall in love twice part 7
Tumblr media
Pairing: Malon x Time x reader
Rating: G
Summary: While you and Malon go on an unofficial coffee date, Time finally has some sense knocked into him thanks to Wild, Warriors, and Legend.
Warnings: N/A
Other: If I missed anything, please let me know
-------
The third day in modern Hyrule begins with the delightful experience of introducing Malon to modern coffee shops. Which is certainly worth it.
However, first, you get a nice shower. With your hair routine, proper soap, any shaving you might choose, and the ability to have hot water. It's glorious, and you are thankful for running water.
Malon takes a shower as well, still confused about modern shower products, but delighted in the effects! She likes that there are so many options. She also adores the hot water since she doesn't have to heat it herself.
Malon has delighted in modern clothes, a sage colored cable knit sweater, and dark jeans are her chosen outfit today.
How the fuck is she so pretty all the time? It should be illegal.
You need to focus on the things going on. Not on how pretty Malon is.
You also need to introduce her to milkshakes. You think she'd like them. But that's for later.
For now, you focus on getting your wallet, keys, and any other items you need for a city outing. You glance at the deity mask sticking our of your bag.
You find both comfort and worry in the presence. The mask has the markings that Time bears. And yet it feels unlike him at all.
You shake your head to dispel the thoughts. There's no use dwelling on those things.
Your time is much better spent on other things. Like kicking ass or spoiling the gorgeous red head you're with.
You lead Malon into the local coffeeshop midmorning. The crowd is not dense, but there's quite a few people there anyway.
Mostly, it's college students who take residence in the establishment.
You both look over the menu, and once you've explained the new drink concepts to her, you both step up to order.
"Welcome to Cuthulu brews. What can I get started for you?" The barista at the counter asks with a smile. Their eyes look dead, though. Classic customer service jobs, sucking the life out of people.
"Can I get a mocha but like - not taste the coffee?" Malon asks.
"Uh- maybe?"
"Why don't you get a shot of espresso in you hot chocolate." You suggest lightly.
"I can do that?"
"Sure, you want hot chocolate with one shot?"
"Yes, please."
"What size?"
Malon looks to you, unsure but excited.
"Large, please." You decide, that'll be more chocolate to hide the coffee taste in.
And really, you think you both deserve nice things after the hell you've been through lately.
You don't know what you'd do without Malon. Ignoring your feelings for her she's still been such a help and pillar of support.
"Awesome, can do. And for you?" The barista turns their attention to you.
You order your drink, along with two breakfast pasteries. You want to make sure you and Malon are both eating well enough.
You pay and leave a tip.
While you and Malon wait for your order, she seems to be buzzing with excitement.
"You're more chipper today, good dreams or something?" You ask with a smile.
The smile she turns on you is dazzling, "Sort of. I'm just glad I'm with you mostly."
"Oh, that's sweet. I'm glad I'm with you too, Mal." You smile and then feel silly using the nickname you've only heard her husband use. "Sorry, uh, the nickname is probably weird."
Malon just shakes her head, "Not really! I like hearing you call me that."
"Oh. Okay." You smile, trying not to read into any of this.
But over the time spent with Malon- your crush has definitely become bigger. And you are a lot closer to in love than you should be.
After collecting your drinks and breakfast, Malon leads you to a window table to sit at. Her mood is the highest it's been in a while.
It's good to see her happy.
"You said you wanted to show me something called - a wifey?"
You nearly choke. "WiFi. Wifey is something different."
Malon laughs, but she looks like she said the wrong thing on purpose. But that's got to be wrong.
(It's not wrong. She's teasing you.)
"You're probably right." She says before taking a sip of her drink.
You just resign yourself to a few bites of breakfast pastry. You need a moment. Just to get your mind up and running again.
"So, if we're in your time, don't you have someone to check in with?" Malon asks as she looks you over.
She does that a lot. Why's she always looking you up and down? She's not checking you out. That's just silly.
(She is checking you out. And she thinks it's rude you keep trying to stop yourself from returning the attention.)
"Not really. I'll be gone again soon so it'd just upset them." You say simply.
Because really the longest you've stayed in any time is a week since you got pulled away from the chain. So why bother upsetting people?
"I guess. But I'd want to hear from you."
You laugh, shaking your head. "You're sweet to me."
Malon makes a face, as if amused and exasperated. She does that a lot when you try to wave off her compliments.
"(Y/n), sweetie, you're a lot better than you give yourself credit for."
"Oh. Uh- thanks."
She just smiles, and sets a hand on your hand. "I mean it. You're going to make whoever you end up with very happy ome day."
She has a weird tone, and you almost think she wishes she was who you end up with. But that's ridiculous and probably not right.
"Thank you."
-------
Time is having a very bad time. Since he saw you and Malon, he's been torn up inside.
On one hand, you're both alive!
On the other hand, you're still who knows where facing threats he can't protect you from.
What a great time.
"You need to eat." Wild says as he pushes the shepard's pie into the old man's hands.
Time looks at him, blinking. Right. Food. He does need sustenance.
"Thank you." Time manages.
Wild just sighs, shaking his head. "You're disrespecting both of them by thinking they're gone."
"I don't - I don't think they're gone... I just think I'll never see them again."
Wild just levels a stern look at Time. He's not paid enough for this. He isn't paid at all, actually.
He will have to talk to Hylia about labor laws. She needs to hear from his union.
First, he needs a union, actually. He'll have to ask Legend for help there.
"What?" Time manages with a strangled edge.
"You're being entirely too pessimistic. Everyone thinks we'll see them again. Even Legend. So are you going to snap out of it?"
Time blinks again, confused and unsure if he should be offended. He's just being realistic!
Right?
"Don't give me that realistic spiel. Stop making things out worse than they are."
"I'm not!"
"We saw them three days ago. They were alive without any immediately fatal injuries, and they were both standing on their own. So unless they've started throwing the same pity party you are, they're fine."
"I'm not throwing a pity party."
"Call it what you want, but you're being too seal-ious."
"You did not just make that pun."
Wild just grins. There is nothing like puns to make people listen to you.
"Is he done making the worst assumptions?" Warriors asks as he makes his way over.
"I don't know. Time?" Wild turns expectantly to the old man.
Time just sighs. "Yes. We need a plan."
"We have a plan." Warriors says, as if it should be obvious.
"Since when?"
"An hour after we saw them. Some of us have been getting shit done." Legend adds helpfully.
"Legend." Warriors sighs. Though he dosen’t seem too far away from the sentiment.
"You didn't tell me?" Time asks, sounding genuinely upset.
"The only people who can pull you out of your spirals consistently are the reason you're spiraling. We tried." Pegend tolls his eyes.
"You're not the only one who misses then, Time." Warriors sits beside Time gently. "You may know Malon the best, but we all like her."
"And we all love (Y/n). Not the way you do, but they're one of us." Wild says firmly, "Twilight is barely keeping it together. You know he hates losing loved ones to portals."
Oh.
Time realizes he's really been disconnected. Of course, everyone else misses you and Malon.
He didn't even think about how the others might feel.
Shit.
"I'm sorry." Time says as he looks between his three companions. "I haven't- been present latley."
"We'll forgive you, this time." Wild gives a little grin, "Just don't get lost in your gear again."
"Deal."

Some thoughts and lessons from my first week on Broadway
Tumblr media
(in no particular order)
Insecurities don't magically disappear when you hit The Big Dream. But the Big Dream has made it clearer than ever that my default instinct to downplay my achievements is kind of ridiculous. I need to accept that there's just no casual way to talk about my life right now. There is no pretending that any of this isn't a big deal. It's a huge freaking deal, and I earned it, and it's awesome, and I am no less deserving of its awesomeness than anybody else.
Autistic people have more allies out there than we realize. In advocacy circles, we tend to get rather cynical about what people don't understand, or don't want to understand. But there really are so many people who think we are worth listening to, learning from, and amplifying. There are so many people rooting for us, and actively seeking ways to include and affirm everything we are. They know they aren't going to get everything "right" immediately, and they know we won't always have the emotional energy for the hard conversations, but they are THERE, and they are there because they WANT to be. Yes, even on Broadway.
Fun fact: my first survival job was "Starbucks barista." (Other fun fact: the day I made my Broadway debut, Starbucks Workers United announced a massive strike for the very next day.) One thing that my time on Broadway has with my time at Starbucks is that I never seem to have enough Sharpies. At Starbucks, the Sharpies were for marking cups by hand (yes, I'm that old), and on Broadway, they're for signing Playbills at the stage door. (Like I said, there's no casual way to talk about this stuff.)
I honestly underestimated how much Broadway performers have to eat. It's easy to think most Broadway performers tend to be predominantly thin/buff just because the industry is fatphobic--and don't get me wrong, it totally is--but I also don't think most people really understand how athletic it is to do a full musical eight times a week, and what you have to do offstage to make sure you have the strength and stamina for it. It's genuinely harder than I thought it would be to make sure I'm not at a calorie deficit--and my less-than-stellar autistic interoception means that I can't always rely on "hunger cues" the way most people can. I really do have to PLAN to eat. And eat more than I would usually think I need.
I'm getting a lot better at doing my own wig prep. And I'm very excited about how pretty my hair looks at the end of the night when I release it from the pincurls.
Thanks to Mayte Natalio and Team Choreo, I'm also getting a lot better at learning choreography without a mirror. Poor proprioception is common in autistic people and it's one of my biggest insecurities, so it is always very stressful and overwhelming for me to learn choreography without a mirror, especially if I'm in a large group. It's difficult for me to visualize where I am in space and what my movement looks like in relation to others. But the choreo team knows this about me and helps me find other ways to learn and feel confident in the moves without constantly needing immediate visual proof. And that's something I never thought was possible before.
If I had the authority, I would ban pedicabs. Those things are like sensory assault. And they're RIGHT outside our show (and my bedroom window) every night with their lights flashing and their subwoofers blaring. But as a consolation prize to the drivers, I would equip each of them with a food truck. Let them solicit us and our patrons with chicken shawarma and Nuts 4 Nuts instead. That'll certainly get more business from patrons coming out of a show about autistic people.

s7e5 Unmortricken (HUGE SPOILERS)
HOLY. SHIT. i did not expect this at all and was so fucking excited!! we've all been waiting for this for a looong time, both the rick prime and the evil morty returns! and they gave it to us in one episode!
there is soooo much to unpack in this episode, but i'm dumping all my initial thoughts into this post. i feel like every scene during this episode my mind was turning so fast. this episode broke me and healed me, idek. i just need to take a minute and stare at the wall in silence for a while. my brain is just a mantra of god i fucking love this show so fucking much.
evil morty not only being smarter than c137, but prime is so fucking cool. definitely hoping we see more of him in the future, especially with how he downloaded the schematics of prime's brain. his plotline is definitely not completely finished. (especially 'the rick project'? very interested in that tbh)
Tumblr media
needless to say, c137 and prime's (and evil morty's) fight was fucking awesome and well-done. especially the very last when rick gets to just beat him to death, thanks to evil morty. also, we see a rick’s ego get him once again with the mindset of ‘a morty could never outsmart/get me’, and boom.
i loved how it ended simply like that, no gadgets, just punching the shit out of him until he dies while prime keeps saying things he thinks will cut deep. prime telling c137 that nothing he has now actually belongs to him, AGH! no words. just thinking about how hard that must've been for rick to assimilate into the family, so fucking painful.
Tumblr media
learning that prime not only killed rick c137's diane, but ALL dianes across all the infinite realities makes a lot of things come together and make sense. basically, prime threw a massive fit over some rick's not wanting to drop everything to join him in his universe-hopping. also prime giving rick shit for his car sounding like diane when he literally modeled his kill bots after her is so fucking ironic lmao
rick prime saying he missed when he was just him and rick, the only two to actually invent portal travel, really interested me. so this means that both prime and c137 are the 'rickest rick'. also c137's diane was not killed with the omega machine, as we saw her and little beth killed with a bomb.
when i first saw that poster with rick and morty covered in 'spaghetti sauce' while morty hugs rick, i knew it was gonna end up being in an episode with blood all over them and i was half-right, since rick's the only one covered in blood when morty hugs him in this episode lol
Tumblr media
another little thing i noticed, they very prominently showed us prime and c137's cybernetic wiring tangling together in a shot during the fight. is this something that'll be relevant later or just like a random shot?
Tumblr media
i think it's possible rick prime isn't dead, maybe left alive by c137 for some reason we don't know yet. we don't necessarily see prime die only c137 come out covered in blood and imply that prime's gone. (i noticed tear tracks on in the blood on rick's face and thought i was tripping at first but he was crying, shattering my heart over here).
if it was truly that simple and rick prime is truly gone forever, rick now has to move on with the rest of his life and figure out who he is without this need for revenge driving him. i'm so nervous to see what happens after this. it'll either free him or destroy him.
Tumblr media
p.s. that post credit scene, which was (in my opinion) showing us what would've happened with rick and birdperson if things were different between them. just a little thing i thought of, and i'm not even a huge birdperson/rick shipper.
p.s.s. and even if it's not about rick/birdperson specifically, it still means rick could've chosen a different path if he'd been able to let go of his need to kill rick prime and get revenge.

One Night Only in New York
Tumblr media
*header created by @hstylesicons
ONE SHOT
Summary: Y/N won the contest of a lifetime, leading to an unbelievable experience attending the One Night Only in NY concert with Harry Styles.
*inspired by Brittany Broski taking over the HSHQ Instagram page
~~~~~
A/N: I wanted to get it out asap. Just a little detour from my EWTNC series, with a big thanks to @runway-to-my-aid for this awesome idea!
~~~~~
Warning: Some explicit language
~~~~~
"No way! No fucking way!... Sorry… this is amazing! I can't believe it!"
"Y/N, believe it, you have won the contest!" The radio dj announces. "Not only are you going to the 'One Night Only' concert in New York, but you are also taking over the HSHQ Instagram for the day!"
This isn't real, this isn't real!
"How do you feel, love?" He asks.
"Like I'm dreaming! I'm so excited!" You reply.
"I'm excited for you! Stay on the line, and we will give you all the details. Enjoy your night tomorrow!"
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
You stay on the call- finding out where you will go to get the tickets and meet the HSHQ team member who will be helping you 'run' the page.
~~~~~
Tonight is the night and you still feel like you're dreaming. You're a nobody, from nowhere, and just entered a contest. Now you get to see Harry Styles perform! Plus, help post some stories to his other Instagram page!
Life isn't real right now. It can't get much better.
You made sure you wore a cute, but comfortable, outfit and head out the door. You'll be getting to the UBS Arena early to meet the team member, go over the ideas they have, and film a few little clips before the show.
As you arrive in the Uber, you can see and hear the excitement of all the fans waiting to get in. You almost missed this. You weren't originally able to get a ticket, and you are so grateful to now have this amazing opportunity.
You find where you need to go and meet the team member, Timothy, to go over the logistics of what tonight will look like.
You walk over to a spot in front of the arena doors to do your first Instagram story.
"Hi everyone! My name is Y/N and tonight I am taking over the HSHQ Instagram page to give you a behind-the-scenes look of the 'One Night Only' show here in New York! Let's go!"
"That was great." Said Timothy. "Let's go inside and get some shots of the venue while it's empty."
"Are you serious?" You ask, hardly able to control your excitement.
"Yeah! You're giving a behind-the-scenes look sweetie, so you've got to go… behind the scenes!" He chuckles.
You shake your head, still not fully grasping the luck you've had already.
You walk inside the doors and he leads you around the entryway to the merch store.
"Oh wow! These are sweet!" You exclaim, eyes being diverted as you look at each new sweater and hat that'll be available tonight.
"I feel so sneaky, but I'm at the merch store and I want to show you some of the goodies we can get tonight!"
You hold up a new blue hoodie for a boomerang clip to post.
"Another good one, Y/N. You're a natural at this." Timothy states.
You laugh. "I think I've tapped into some sort of autopilot, because I'm screaming on the inside!"
He laughs too. "You'd never know. Let me take you somewhere I think the fans would like."
You walk in the auditorium and gasp. You're getting the first look at what you'll be seeing tonight and you are taken aback.
"It's breathtaking!" You exclaim. "What if we show… if it's okay… a view from the stage? That way fans will still be surprised by the backdrop."
"That's a perfect plan! Builds the suspense too." Timothy agrees.
"Take a look at the view from stage! I can't wait for tonight! Where are you going to be singing from?"
Timothy scans as much of the venue as he can without giving anything else away.
"I think that's good. We've got a little bit of time left before start letting people in." He says as he looks at his watch. "I'm thinking we can do something for the fans."
'The fans', as if you aren't one of them, freaking out right now like every single person waiting in line.
You follow him outside and head over to an area where there are people just waiting around and hanging out.
"Here. Find a small group of about four that are not in line. Ask them questions like where they are from and what their favorite new song is, or something like that." He smiles. "We've got a surprise for a few of them."
You walk around, wishing you could pick every single one for whatever Timothy has in store for them. You see a group of two young girls and what looks like to be their moms.
"Hi there! You don't happen to be big Harry Styles fans, do you?" You ask, smiling as you see that they are head-to-toe in official (and homemade) Harry Styles clothing.
"Yes!!" The two young girls exclaim.
"I'm actually taking over the official HQ Instagram for today, can I ask some questions and post them on the stories, moms?" They both nod and Timothy pulls up his phone.
"What are your favorite songs from the new album, girls?" You asks.
"Daydreaming!" One squeals.
"As It Was!" Squeals the other.
"Have you ever been to a Harry Styles concert before?"
They all shake their heads.
"Wow, me either. It can be our first times together!"
"No, we don't have tickets." One of the girls admits, looking so heartbroken. "We came… just… I don't know… believing in a miracle or something!"
Timothy interrupts with a cough and hands you something. You quickly stare down and grin. You look back up and make sure Timothy is ready to film again.
"Well, I just happen to have these four tickets for tonight. I don't suppose… you girls would want them…?" You joke.
The noises they make could break glass, but you don't care, because you are enjoying the pure happiness on their faces.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!!" They say, as they give you a big group hug.
Timothy puts away his phone and the moms thank you both for making the girls' dreams come true.
"I'm just the delivery girl. I won the opportunity to do this! So, I'm so glad you'll get to watch it. Now we really will all have our first concert tonight!"
You give one more hug each, say goodbye, and Timothy leads you away.
"That was amazing! I know exactly how that feels. This is so wild and so fun!" You state.
"That stuff is always the best." He agrees.
~~~~~
During the few hours before show time, you were allowed to eat some food from the catering staff, buy some merch for yourself, and see a little more behind-the-scenes stuff for yourself.
As showtime approaches, Timothy takes you to a spot in the pit where he usually stands.
"I'll take some photos and videos with my phone so that you can enjoy the show." He states.
"Okay, I'm just warning you that I'll be screaming most of the time."
He chuckles. "That's fine as long as it's okay that I will be too."
You both bust up laughing.
The lights dim and everyone screams, including Timothy. Your heart races as you see the stage all lit up and then moreso when you see the man of the night. He is dressed in a t-shirt with rows of red hearts, black pants, red Gucci sneakers, and a big yellow necklace.
How does he do that? How does he make an outfit like that look so good… so sexy?
He starts 'Music for a Sushi Restaurant' and you are instantly yelling out every word as best you could (you had been listening to the album almost nonstop since it came out).
Each song is perfection, and the energy in the audience never dies. You are all so collectively mesmerized by the moment.
You're in tears as he plays 'Matilda', as is everybody else. Even Timothy is a little teary.
You have goosebumps. This is the best experience of your life. There's not much that could top this.
~~~~~
The encore finishes and you have to snap yourself out of the trance you feel like you were just in. It was a dream, and you're actually really bummed that it had to end.
"Hey, let's get a clip of you're reaction to the show, yeah?"
You nod.
"Okay, well, there aren't many words to describe that experience. I was taken to a whole other dimension or something because it was so spectacular! Thank you to HSHQ for letting me do this! I am forever grateful!"
"Excellent!"
"Thank you so much Timothy. This really has been amazing! I still can't believe I won that contest and got to do this. Thank you." You give him a hug.
"Aw, from me and the whole team, you're welcome sweetie." He smiles. "I actually took some videos of you during the concert… I was going to take you back to relax for a bit while the crowds clear out, and go over them to see if you're okay with me posting any?"
"Oh! Sure. I'm definitely not going to turn down that offer." You giggle.
You follow him backstage and into a room with some chairs, a couch, a table, a coffee bar, and a TV screen. There's people walking in and out, and it's just fun little hang out room. You sit on the couch with Timothy and he goes through some of the videos he took. "I just wanted to capture the 'fan experience' through your eyes." He says.
"Yeah, it's a good idea. I don't mind if you post any of them. I'm bias towards the first one with 'Music for a Sushi Restaurant' since that's one of my favorites." You admit.
"Okay, definitely that one then." He adds it to the stories.
A few more people walk in and they are a bit louder than the others have been, which catches your attention.
Suddenly you gasp. Your heart stops and jaw drops. Walking through the door and towards you is him. Is Harry Styles.
"Oh my god," is all you manage to mutter.
"Hello. Y/N right?" You nod and he reaches out for a hug. You quickly stand up and reciprocate.
His embrace is the warmest, most tender, safest thing you have ever experienced. It's just all joy and love.
"Thank you for taking over today. Thanks for doing this." He points to Timothy's phone.
Finally, you snap back to being a functioning human being and find words to say, but still in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? Thank you for giving me the chance!" You reply.
"It's my pleasure. I liked what you posted." He smiles.
"Wha-" you stutter. "You watched them?"
"F'course. Had to see the 'behind-the-scenes' experience from your point of you." He smiles again. It's full of sunshine. He's just so bright. "Timothy was texting me that you were doing really good.
You glance at Timothy, you just see that he has a grin on his face.
"Thank you. Oh my god, this is fucking unreal, and I feel pathetic right now." You giggle.
"What?" Harry giggles back. "It's just lil ol' me. Just Harry."
You just shake your head and look into those beautiful green eyes.
He adds, "I really liked you showing the inside of the arena without showing the stage. It's like… it's like edging a lil bit. It was good." He nods towards Timothy.
"It was her idea." Timothy admits.
You laugh. "Definitely nothing like you do it, but I thought it was fun."
Harry looks at you, wide-eyed, with a huge grin that takes his dimples to a deeper level. "Really? It was your idea?"
You start to blush.
Oh come on, not in front of him.
"I liked it. I liked the whole idea of the fan's point of view." His expression turns inquisitive. "Umm… I like to get a good night's sleep, but I do need some dinner…" he pauses to clear his throat. "Would you like to join us? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whole thing."
"Are you kidding?"
"I don't joke about dinner." He smirks.
"As you shouldn't." You chuckle. "I'm… I'm still in shock from winning the contest, and now Harry Styles is asking for my thoughts on his show? This is nuts."
"You can just call me Harry, love." He winks. "Come on. Like I said, I don't joke about dinner, and m'starving." He raises his arm in that gentlemanly manner, with his elbow out, so that you can wrap your hand around it.
He looks over at you and smiles, looking down at your outfit. "By the way, you make that official Harry's House sweater look really good."

Tumblr media
Wow. Y'all. I truly never expected so many awesome responses on the post I wrote last night about Dieter, Goya and Pedro on Talk Art. It is the first 'fun' thing I've written in so many years - after having felt blocked/paralyzed re: creative pursuits since 2020 (shit happened) -, without stressing about how I wrote it, and it means the world to me that so many people liked it and shared it.
Tumblr media
I don't want to clutter up all the feeds by individually sharing and responding to the reblogs etc, so I'm throwing it together in one post here - because I want y'all to know I appreciate it so much. And it honestly made me even more excited that some of my favorite PP fic authors did so, because I've been enjoying YOUR work so much!
Tumblr media
@chaoticgeminate Sending those hugs right back, and your fic was absolutely not a silly little piece! I truly love(d) it, and I'm glad it sent me down this little rabbithole. And yes, while writing that piece I also became more convinced that Pedro himself was a really big part in shaping Dieter and his background story. It's so damn intelligent and very much his style.
One thing I didn't mention yesterday (and I'm sure this is something a lot of people already spotted since the first day that the movie was online) is that I also came to realize how much Pedro has based Dieter's outfits and some mannerisms on Jeff Bridges' character The Dude from 'The Big Lebowski'. Never really saw that movie but I put it on today for a bit, and it was striking -- I'd even dare to say that the "'Bola, hold my hair!" moment on the toilet is a nod to how The Dude (who has longer hair) gets his face shoved into a toilet. Also, at one point when Bridges' character is addressed with "Mr Lebowski", he dismisses that and tells the guy to call him Dude, or even 'Duder' which, yeah, that's just a small step from 'Dieter Bravo'.
Tumblr media
amycben on Reddit said the same thing about Bridges, and shared these Dieter pics, which definitely made it clear how our Feral Raccoon Boy's style is inspired by 'The Dude' <3 I don't care much for the Lebowski movie, but I love a good reference, especially since it's a Coen brothers movie - and we all know that Pedro now has a small role in Ethan Coen's upcoming movie 'Driveaway Dolls'. Anyway, I honestly hope that at some point Pedro will be asked about the work he did in shaping Dieter, because I'd love to hear more about this. There's no chance in hell that'll happen, because which journalist would ask him this? But I'm cool though if the universe wants to manifest one of us getting to interview him some time in the future, haha.
Anyway, again @chaoticgeminate - thank YOU really. I needed that deep dive more than I knew thanks to your writing!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@nicolethered thank you too for being responsible for my deep dive, haha, it were your screenshots that made me recognize the other Goya paintings! <3 (and I love your gifs btw!
@mysterious-moonstruck-musings well hearing from you that you loved MY writing is just such a super awesome thing after how much I've been enjoying your Dieter story! <3 <3
@julesonrecord I'M TOTALLY IN hahaha, I saw your comment right before I went to bed last night and it made me smile so much!
Tumblr media
@imaswellkid I'm def not an Apatow person either, and I'll be honest - the first time I watched the Bubble I couldn't get past the first half, haha. But I later began to realize that you should indeed watch it through a critical lens and as a reflection about the craziness that was going on, rather than 'oh this is a movie about the pandemic'. The Mando bud is great btw! But even better is the Baby Yoda bud - I have no clue how growers/dispenseries (I'm in the midwest) get away with naming their product after Disney stuff, but I'm sure glad it got me to try that hahaha.
@lunapascal IKR artist Dieter is so damn underrated, and I'm so glad that at least a whole lot of fic authors are giving him more of what he deserves! OK and I totally want to write some too now, hahaha. Especially because there's a lack of Dieter x OMC/m!reader fics, which tbh needs to be fixed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@survivingandenduring @sp00kymulderr @thesimulationswarm @pedrit0-pascalit0 @gemmahale @sin-djarin @perotovar @ladamedusoif @gracie7209 thank you so much for your kind words, they honestly mean so much to me! @angelofsmalldeathandthecodeine WOW, that Dali piece is fuckin incredible! And @basicoccult woahhh maybe y'all did!? See now I feel like I need to inquire about whether y'all take new initiates! <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@chronically-ghosted God don't get me started, it's so tempting - next thing you know I'll have suckered myself into writing Dieter fic (while I'm only just getting started now on two other WIPs), haha. But yes I'm so curious about what the unspoken canon is there -- and most probably Pedro is the one with answers to that since it seems so much like he created Dee. I ended up googling some Apatow interviews this morning and saw that he set out to make the Bubble as a sort of Christopher Guest movie (the mockumentary style), and other articles said that there was a lot of improv involved - so obviously Pedro must've contributed a lot. Particularly because I've read at least interviews with four directors (Zeke who did Prospect, Craig Mazin from TLOU, I wanna say Patty Jenkins, and I'm currently blanking on the other name) who spoke about how involved Pedro was, down to specific dialogue and character's motivations etc in shaping the movie (I think Zeke said that Pedro worked with them to tone down Ezra's Shakespearian manner of speech a little, which I can totally see happening since Pedro has done/read so much Shakespeare and it's easy to picture that he wants to fine tune it so it's accessible enough for audiences). Ugh, it's probably gonna take a long while until there'll be any long form interviews with him again, and sadly interviewers are probably not gonna ask about any of this.
Re: painting or acting, yesterday I read @blueeyesatnight 's That's Not Your Name-Dieter fic (LOVED it, can def recommend it!) and one of the coolest things about Dee's character development there is that it indeed delves into 'okay how did he pick acting versus art' and more background story, plus how in the current day events of the story he is even making his own oil paint. That has become my headcanon now <3
Tumblr media
@tessa-quayle I'm so glad you liked my post!! I really really wish that Russell and Robert would do another episode with Pedro. I love Russell in particular (sorta followed his work since Being Human was released, which holy crap was already 15 yrs ago?), but the way they attempted to interview Pedro back then was kind of a hot mess - and I say that lovingly hahaha. They were so enthusiastic that they talked over him so/too many times, so I'd love a tad calmer conversation where P has the opportunity to go more indepth.
@tvversionperson IKR there is SO much plot and character development to be explored with Dieter in that movie, which of course it doesn't have room to delve into but shit I wish they would/could. Or at least to just hear Pedro talk about what his thoughts are on it, because you know he most definitely had Dee's entire back story fleshed out in his head when he shot this movie.
Super long post, but again, I just wanted to thank y'all for the love. This is the first time I've done anything writing wise re: the PP cinematic universe, and all your responses have been so heartwarming and really encouraged me to do more stuff in one way or another with the Pedro boys, be it rabbit hole analysis or fic.

Hello! It's me again, giving my minute by minute review of The Giggle. I have not seen any spoilers or watched any trailers, so I know nothing. Well... I know that Neil Patrick Harris is someone lol. As a summary, I enjoyed Chibnall's era, loved the thirteenth Doctor with all of my heart, and know little about the classic series but am obsessed with nuwho. I am also weary of RTD's writing but I loved the first special and enjoyed the second. LET'S GO!
Again, last time I'll complain, I MISS LIVE REBLOGGING WITH FANS. 1. Oh my horror movie vibes again. Okay.
2. Uh. What's up with the accent for Neil Patrick Harris (NPH to make my life easier). That feels a bit... Not good. Especially with the "messed up" words to accentuate it. It just doesn't sound right. I know it's supposed to be a STUPID amount of fake, but it's boarding on offensive.
3. "I'll need a moving image" right to the jump scare lol. I don't MIND horror movies, but I don't necessarily want it for every single Doctor Who episode. A bit disappointed.
4. NPH dancing with David Tennant for those point two seconds did something to me. Also, LOVE NPH's makeup there.
5. I'm already so tired of UNIT having all this money. I don't know, it doesn't feel right. They were supposed to stay hidden so that people didn't know about them. Are we officially saying that humans know about aliens? That's the only acceptable answer I'll take as to why we got helicopters and military vehicles just out and about.
6. Awesome, AWESOME music. Always. Just, again, a thousand kudos to everyone doing this beautiful arrangement.
7. I LOVE Shirley. I love her. Representation done right, in my opinion. It's ironic that RTD can do something EXACTLY as it's supposed to be and the fumble the ball on something else in the very same episode i.e. the first special with Shirley right to "male presenting" Time Lord (see my first live blogging to hear the speech I did already lol).
8. KATE - KATE - KATE. My h e r o. My LOVE! We JUST saw her with 13 and I loved every single part she was in. Her finally seeing the inside of the TARDIS made me so happy.
9. KATE HUGGING THE DOCTOR. Awww! That is so gosh darn cute. I don't know how long it's been exactly since Kate saw 13 after the whole Master thing in Power of the Doctor, but it's so nice to see her hugging him. I was scared for a moment it was going to be a slap lol.
10. "How do we fight the human race." Uh... That's quite a plot, isn't it? I... The Doctor, thirteen especially, always made a point of saying how good "you humans" can be. Saying that humans are inherently bad just doesn't sit right with me. There's a speech roaring up with me about how RTD sees people in general and how that effects the optimistic and hopeful attitude of Doctor Who in gneral, but that'll have to come later.
11. OH HEY Melanie! I know that companion! Kind of! I've never see any of her episodes but that's awesome. SIDE NOTE... Just like with Power of the Doctor, I feel a little disoriented when I know I'm supposed to know something / really appreciate the moment and I can't. I'm so happy that Chibnall AND RTD are so very willing to let classic who people come back, I'm just always a little lost with things like this. (I wonder if other people my age feel that way? Any else 25?)
12. "Is park rude?" "Borderline". I... What? Why would you even turn to Shirley with a question like that? See what I mean about dropping the ball.
13. "Why should I care?" Prime Minister. "No change there then." Donna. hehe I love those little moments where DW shows current political distain.
14. We're... We're not gonna ask a million questions about what Vlinx is? What they're doing there? How they got there? The Doctor's not doing the usual excited dance and asking how hot their cortex runs, the amount of brain power they have, etc. Idk, seemed like a wasted moment. (Unless I'm missing some classic who stuff again?)
15. Listen, I'm a very simple lesbian... I see an "evil" Kate and I get a little excited, okay? Woman power and all that, am I right? 16. "As for you [Shirley], with that chair - I've seen you walk!" What the actual fuck. Listen, I know, I KNOW people are idiots about wheelchairs. I know some people don't know that some people who use a wheelchair aren't completely paralyzed, but to point it out in this way just feels... It feels like a misstep...? I have no right to comment, I'm not a wheelchair user, but the way RTD handles things like this always makes me nervous.
17. "The old archangel network" ahhh hello there preteen headcannons! Ahhhh the Master, how lovely a reminder of those days! God, what a plotline that was back in the day. I am not surprised at all that RTD fit that line in, let me tell you. The man seems to like to brag about his old stories (inconspicuously points to David Tennant and Catherine Tate.)
18. Why would Donna ever, ever guess that those brain waves were music? Where in god's name would ANYONE come up with that without ANY sort of hint? What kind of mary sue writing is that? I'm just supposed to take that? Talk about a convenient plot device. I don't like lazy writing.
19. "The very first image has been hiding in every screen ever since." See, THAT'S cool! I like that kind of story, where another god-like entity has that sort of power. Someone PLANNED that. As always, things like this are why I love when the Master comes back. His convoluted plots creates such great writing and stories.
20. "What, because you're so clever [at Shirley asking why they never found the Stooky Bill laugh before]." Hey 14, your 10 is showing - the parts of 10 that adult me has problems with.
21. "[The human race] is also savage, venal, and relentless." Alright, maybe I'm thinking too much about 12 and 13, mostly 13, but the distain that 14 (cough ten cough) displays for humans has ALWAYS been icky to me. The Doctor TRAVELS with humans, has worked with them, has LOVED them. You can't call an entire species monsters and then claim to love them. People CAN be monsters, but ten - sorry, 14 - has a habit of not taking the time to make that distinction between species vs person. 13, meanwhile, has never insulted a single human. She has encouraged people, genuinely wants them to be better, and only alienates herself not by pointing humans down, but by feeling so different than everyone around her.
22. "Using your intelligence to be stupid... And hating each other. You never needed any help with that". Well, congrats, this may be my least favorite episode of Doctor Who ever. I don't like getting insulted, I don't like the Doctor being mean, I don't like the tone of this episode... Doctor Who is a hopeful, lighthearted show that brings a smile to my face. Yes, it has moments that make me sob, but it's not some police drama. DW is a sci-fi show about traveling a beautiful universe. THIS is not what the show should be.
23. "Can we take out that satellite?" So Kate's waiting for permission... But, question... THE TARDIS IS RIGHT THERE. You're telling me the Doctor can't go up there, sonic the thing off to make it look like it's a technical error, and then eff of? I know writers OFTEN give the good old "the TARDIS is unavailable" to avoid thoughts like this, but RTD left the TARDIS RIGHT THERE. We have a time and space machine!
24. Side note, very side note, but are we ever gonna fix the gravity to "mavity" thing? Is that gonna come back?
25. The Doctor: "you have my permission" [to blow up the satellite]. But... But that's... What can UNIT say to that? "Oh yeah hey, our alien from outer space that we trust that you don't know gave us the go-ahead to blow your satellite up. Please don't fire missiles at us, we got the "OK." What? Just... What?
25. Oh hey, was Melanie at the therapy session for past companions in the Power of the Doctor? That would honest to god fit so well and I would love that. I'll have to look later.
26. Again, I almost have to laugh at the budget. All this money and we're using it to fire off a gun... In Doctor Who... Where the Doctor hates guns. Figures.
27. 120[k] plus five weeks' holiday." OH FUCK YEAH DONNA. Girl boss right there! You deserve that money! Freaking LOVE IT. And I'd love Donna working at UNIT. Maybe Martha and her could be best friends? Oh hey, where the hell is Martha and Mickey, btw?
28. Ha, Crowley, COUGH, I mean the Doctor on SoHo's streets once again. Hehe.
29. "Donna, I'm a billion years old". WOAH, WHAT? He can't be serious, right? No way 13 lived that long after 12's 2,000 ish years, right? Is 14 counting the confession dial? He has to be, right? I almost wish 13 mentioned her age now.
30. "But you are busy every second of every day" uh, yes. That was 13's coping mechanism. If she never stopped, she never had to think. Granted, that was every single Doctor's coping mechanism, but 13 had a lot of crap to get through and the fact that she got sent to prison with all that MUST have destroyed them.
31. Donna trying to give the Doctor mental health advice will forever be a favorite moment between the two of them for me. I'm so glad to see how much Donna cares about him.
32. NPH is just fabulous. He really just takes over the scene, even against actors like David Tennant and Catherine Tate. I was mesmerized by the ball scene. Granted, the accent makes me squint my eyes, but still... Him playing the villain will always be exciting.
33. Oh the Doctor knows him! An old enemy, that can't be good. OH and with the first Doctor as well, talk about a VERY old enemy. It's only been a billion years, eh? Hm, and the Doctor seems terrified of him. I'm getting the Master vibes. Is the Toymaker a Time Lord?
34. I sincerely wish that the Doctor mentioned being the Timeless Child to Donna when the Doctor said "what am I without my toys". I just... Donna can't understand why this speech even exists without knowing that the Doctor's entire history was erased - was taken from him. People may hate the Timeless Child plotline, but it's THERE. If RTD is going to build the emotional trauma off of that, it should be mentioned by name. I'm glad we mentioned the Flux, but the Timeless Child is what drove the Doctor nearly insane. It's what drove the Master even more insane. It should be mentioned properly.
35. Why the fuck, after that emotion speech, would these two idiots even separate AN INCH? Donna just saw how terrified the Doctor was, the Doctor IS terrified, why would they not hold hands? Why would they not stick to each other like glue. Again, lazy writing.
36. I can not explain how much this doesn't feel like Doctor Who. I can not even being to rant about how much this doesn't feel like my goofy little sci-fi show that makes me smile. I feel cheated. RTD, you got your Midnight / stupid scary episode last time and I complimented it. I cannot believe I have to sit through another one of your horror episodes. Again, the spirit of Doctor Who is the relationship and connections to how amazing humans can be. It's about hope, and optimism, and learning. Of course there's scary episodes, of course there's a step to the left in terms of how the usual episodes go, but what the heck is this?
Is it good writing? Perhaps. The dialogue, tone, and plot is convincing, I'll give RTD that. But is this MY show, my Doctor Who? No. I've said before that RTD relies on nostalgia and this episode only ferments that. If it wasn't David Tennant and characters that weren't already introduced literal years ago, how'd we even know this wasn't the same show?
37. Why the FUCK is Donna so violent? We know she's a badass, we know she's sassy, we know she's fearless... But banging that doll into the wall, a furious look on her face? Where the fuck did she learn that one?
38. How fucking dare RTD mention the Flux but bypass the fam, Yaz, and Dan. How fucking dare he. How dare he pick and chose what he liked from Chibnall's era. And you know what, let's have a laugh, shall we? Maybe he can't mention them because all of them had a GOOD ending. All of them left of their own accord. They left feeling stronger, feeling good about themselves, feeling like they've see the universe and want to make their home, earth, better. What has RTD done but killed the Doctor's happiness? And don't come at me with my own words - the Doctor could have mentioned Yaz and the fam as a defense against himself. "But I've learned - I've learned that humans are strong, that my friends are stronger than I ever could be! Yasmin Khan, Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brian, Dan Lewis - all them are safe. All of them are loved. They have always been the best parts of me. Now, Toymaker... I challenge you to a game." TADA. I even think I got David Tennant's correct cadence, and I never even wrote him!
If you are a showrunner for DW, you have a responsibility to the past writers to show some respect. The way RTD is handling the Flux is fine, but you can't erase the Timeless Child because it doesn't fit with your own version of Doctor Who. It has been done, get over it. USE it.
39. *Splutters* "I made a jigsaw out of your history". You will NOT be taking responsibility for the Timeless Child like this. You will not have a villain create the Timeless Child just to erase it. AND YOU TOOK THE MASTER FROM ME? MY FAVORITE MASTER? YOU TOOK SPYDOC FROM ME? Holy shit I need a drink. My rage is unfathomable.
40. To be fair, seriously, it's good writing if it WASN'T Doctor Who. I am being fair. It's heart pounding, it's exciting, but it's not the same show or the reason I love the show.
41. ... Okay, NPH... Yeah. That scene. I'm not even going to hint about what scene I'm talking about. Everyone knows. It was a 10/10 performance. It was fantastic. There's no criticism, I'll be watching that ten million times. (Damn shame they didn't let him sing it though).
42. The speech the Doctor is making to the Toymaker sounds AWFULLY familiar, doesn't it? Perhaps, the Master, once again? The Doctor just picks these god-like entities and goes "I will love you" and clings on for dear life. I assure you, somewhere in that tooth the Master is screaming "YOU ASKED ME FIRST".
44. "We can be celestial." Someone tell me if DT played Crowley season 2 before or after this. I could HEAR Crowley on that last word, come on now.
45. what the fuck. what the fuck. what the f u c k. WE'RE FUCKING KEEPING DAVID TENNANT. WHY THE FUCK ARE WE KEEPING HIM. HE'S HAD HIS TIME TWICE OVER. WHY. WHY. WHY. HE WAS A GOOD DOCTOR BUT IT'S NOT FAIR THAT HE'S STILL HERE.
RTD changed regeneration. I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE HATERS TORMENTING ME ABOUT CHANGING THE DOCTOR'S PAST IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T EFFECT DW CANON, AND YET RTD CAN DO THIS?
ALL BECAUSE HE WANTS TO KEEP DT. Someone sedate me, I'm going to be the one being on walls and screaming soon. Fuck me. Let the Doctor go! That's the whole bloody point. I can't with this. If you haters out there accept this one I don't want anyone ever coming at me about the Timeless Child again. I'll just throw pictures of up this regeneration scene with a bunch of arrows. And not to mention, I hate this idea? I hate it. I hate it. Regeneration was about change and rebirth, now it's about adding a little hint of something new. It was about letting go, getting ready for a new future, handing someone else the torch of this beautiful show. Oh my god, I hate it here. I'm STAYING for Nucti. I'm honoring his first performance, but I am pissed. I might not even be able to write more.
46. "Do you come in a range of colors." What. What kind of line is that? What... Why did we even have to mention that? He also comes with a different gender, Donna, I don't think his "color" matters. That was the point of the first special, if you could remember that.
I'm taking an effing walk... Off a bridge at this point.
47. Why didn't we give the 15th Doctor trousers? We didn't give 14 13's clothes now did we? But we can have the 15 Doctor running around half naked... On a family show? Come on now.
48. We... We really... We really wasted the Toymaker with a game of catch. Really. I was just complimenting the writing and then we did that?
49. I'm loving 15's care and love. His openness. Is this the Doctor forgiving himself?
50. Oh hey, what lovely person took the Master from that gold tooth, eh? Maybe... Missy, perhaps?
51. MENTION THE TIMELESS CHILD YOU FUCKING COWARD OH MY GOD. Not you, 15, you're great sweetie. RTD MENTION THE PROPER PAST YOU ASS. You can mention all the past adventures but not the latest one? Seriously?
52. Something, something, so glad 14 got a happy ending, something something, wish 13 had that, something something, too bad Chibnall followed the rules of regeneration just as all the writers did beforehand SOMETHING SOMETHING.
53. I'm getting the mildest hint of karma because I never understood why people said the couldn't understand Jodie... I'm actually having a bit of a hard time with Nucti lmao. I always use subtitles so it doesn't matter to me, but just thought I'd mention that.
54. Nucti better kiss a man full of the mouth. He is... Quite something. Jack Harkness would faint.
55. I have a question. How is 15 older? Isn't it like 2.2 seconds only, if anything?
56. I really am glad that 14 got a family. It is beautiful.
I usually do like a summary or whatever but I'm just so bitter and pissed. Here, 3/10, two of those points are for 15 and one is for the Toymaker... Even if the Toymaker character was wasted.

Forced my friend to start watching hazbin with me here's his commentary after watching the pilot and first 2 episodes:
His immediate opinion of Charlie is just saying "Star" (as in star butterfly).
He likes Alastor cuz he's eldritch and spooky.
By the time we got to ep 2 he forgot Niftty's name and just started ominously whispering "neat??? neat????" Until I told him what her name was again.
He laughed really hard at the "harder daddy" "......son? joke and played the "I can suck ur dick" bit repeatedly cuz its funny as fuck.
He seemed excited when I told him that Al was ace.
He has been referring to everyone as they/them unless pronouns are explicitly stated due to him accidentally misgendering Raine from Owl House(#ally).
When "Stayed Gone" started he said "hmn radio is important" very sagely and seriously so I guess we know which side he's on.
When Val showed up I said "he's my favorite :D he is a rapist tho" and he dramatic hamstered me but when I explained that this hell what do we expect here and also Val is so tacky and trashy he comes back around to being cool and he understood.
He doesn't like Val or Vox because they're not Cute like Charlie and they're not awesome like Alastor is.
When Val grabbed his guns and was "which makes me sexier" he got super excited because he's a gun pervert and started talking about how nice Val's revolver is(I made a tiktok about it cuz it was hysterical in the moment that he slammed the momentum of the episode to do an autisim about guns).
During "Respectless" when Carmilla said that Velvette was uniformed and a wannabe he nodded his head sagely and agreed that she is.
I told him Keith David was in the series and was really hype about that but he currently thinks Husk is the most boring(that'll probably change in a few episodes lol)
Bonus Helluva Boss: he ships Stolas and Blitzo and his fav girl is Millie
Will continue as we get through the show. I'm excited as fuck for him to see Dad Beat Dad lol

Been an avid reader of your work. And when I saw your 'currently working on' and 'to be written' lists, and Gaz is in one of them, I can't wait! We are in dire need of Gaz's fics 🥲🤝🏽
So I would like to thank you for your awesome work that you have done in the past years, months, weeks and days. 🩷🩷🩷
Thanks! Gaz has always been one of my favorites - my CoV series has been ongoing for a while, so that'll probably always be somewhere in my 'currently working on' section, lol.
I'm excited for my knight!Gaz au though - I think it'll be pretty fun.

oh my godd im wreaking havoc im smooching everyone im having the best time of my life and hyperventilating - seriously though i've just discovered your project and i am stunned it's one of the best ifs i've ever encountered it makes me regret not picking up tennis when i was a little kid and i Hate Sports - speaking of your writing during the matches is so dynamic and engaging and you have such good pacing! the combination stat checks are executed really well and the overall effect means you feel a real pride when you win all your matches (which i did thank u) - i love how rich you've made the university life and i think having to juggle or neglect certain things and therefore stats is implemented really nicely! sometimes when that comes up in games it feels cheap and annoying bc it doesn't reflect a realistic scarcity of time or attention in the narrative but it's so apt for college! and the romances are all so thoughtfully constructed and genuinely executed! sometimes in games even though their are multiple ROs it's easy for one to feel like a "true route" - the one that's the most narratively satisfying and thought out but the chosen ROs are all so perfectly poised and have their own uniqueness and depth - tobin's reluctance after felix, the looming knowledge that g is leaving after a year etc - as well as all being swoon worthy,, the whole experience you've created is so satisfying - it's just an excellent concept executed to perfection - i cannot wait for more!! (but of course i will, very respectfully)
oh my godd im wreaking havoc im smooching everyone im having the best time of my life and hyperventilating
Best opening line ever. They should teach this in literature classes instead of Dickens's "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
your writing during the matches is so dynamic and engaging and you have such good pacing! the combination stat checks are executed really well and the overall effect means you feel a real pride when you win all your matches
Ahh!! Glad that you thought the mechanics behind the tennis matches were executed well!! It's always so nice to hear that folks feel a sense of accomplishment when winning the matches. I'm always so proud when people get really into the gameplay, you know? Cause I enjoy the story aspect of the IF, but CT:OS is also a game, and I like that people find it challenging and exciting as well, even though it's text-only.
love how rich you've made the university life and i think having to juggle or neglect certain things
Yay. I wanted to simulate the feeling of having to trade-off tennis / school / friends / romance. Definitely something that'll continue into the middle-ish chapters of the IF and determine the tone of the later chapters. (I think I'm a little savage when it comes to readings though, as some folks have helpfully pointed out. I'll sort that out soon.)
romances are all so thoughtfully constructed and genuinely executed! sometimes in games even though their are multiple ROs it's easy for one to feel like a "true route" - the one that's the most narratively satisfying and thought out but the chosen ROs are all so perfectly poised and have their own uniqueness and depth
THIS! This is really awesome to hear, thank you so much!!!!

SSR Cater Diamond - Platinum Jacket Vignette
"Happy 100th Anniversary"
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]
Cater: This museum's real neat~ There's a ton of real picturesque paintings here!
Cater: I should study these as much as I can, 'cause I might be able to learn a thing or two about snagging awesome pics from the way these are composed ♪
Cater: ―Hey, look at that painting…
Tumblr media
???: Woah, it's the card soldiers. Cool, I can really see their brisk little walk in the paintin'.
Cater: I totes agree, Ruggie-kun. I was just thinking the same thing.
Ruggie: Oh, Cater-san. Guess ya can't pass by this painting without checking it out, 'cause you're one of 'em Heartslabyul Card Soldiers, eh?
Cater: Sooo true~ 'Specially 'cause this painting's got the diamond-suited card soldiers, too ☆
Ruggie: Riight, you got the diamond marking. How do y'all decide who gets what suit?
Cater: Fantastic question. This little mark, y'see…
Cater: Gets decided by the Housewarden's whim ♪
Ruggie: A whim!? That's actually a pretty random way of pickin' 'em…
Cater: Oh, no, it's more like the Housewarden draws on the suit they feel will "suit" the new student from their looks.
Cater: Although, there is rule that the suits need to be doled out as evenly as possible, so…
Cater: Could be that the last few assignments might be more like… whatever works, or something like that~
Ruggie: So basically, it all comes down to the Housewarden's intuition and discretion, huh. You happy with the suit you got given, Cater-san?
Cater: Obvi. I was really hoping for the heart or diamond mark, so I really did get just what I wanted.
Cater: 'Sides, if I had gotten the spade or club, I'd've had to buy all new cosmetics, too.
Ruggie: Gah. You tellin' me that you guys in Heartslabyul gotta shell out your own cash to buy makeup depending on the suit!?
Cater: Oh, no, no, it's not like we absolutely have to do that or anything.
Cater: But I felt like the cosmetics I already had wouldn't have really gone well with one of the black suits, sooo~
Cater: And so, don'tcha think it'd be better for me to have some makeup that'll suit both me and the given suit?
Cater: That's why when I knew I got the diamond painted on, I started thinking of the cosmetics I had with me.
Cater: I got to thinkin' like how I could use a brown multi-makeup palette with it, or how it could match with my orange eye shadow…
Cater: I started trying to put together combinations of all my favorite makeups and it got me really excited~
Ruggie: Ah, I get that.
Ruggie: It's a great feelin' whenever you can use whatcha got on hand and not have to buy new stuff, huh! 'N I'm not just talkin' 'bout cosmetics.
Cater: Yeah, yeah. Also, we sometimes end up painting the suit some color other than red whenever we have events or special outfits, right?
Cater: I do borrow stuff from my other dormmates when I need it, but before I know it I find I've bought all sorts of cosmetics, y'know~
Cater: But hey, I get to play around with some cute and cool styles of makeup, so it's all worth it in the end…
Cater: Chattin' about it like this makes me realize just how happy I truly was to get the diamond suit picked for me.
Cater: And 'cause of how I have to always paint the suit on my face, I also got real good at applying eye makeup, too ♪
Cater: So when I think of it that way, I guess Heartslabyul was the best dorm to improve my cosmetic skills.
Ruggie: I'm someone who just throws things together based on whatever hand-me-downs and random stuff I get from others, so I don't really get it, but…
Ruggie: I definitely get the feel that you're enjoyin' yourself, so.
Cater: Ahaha. That prolly just means that Heartslabyul is the dorm that suits ya boi Cay-kun the best, I guess~

Cater: Oh hey, this is… a painting of a princess and price from a certain country riding a magical carpet on a date.
Ruggie: Uhh, right, and the prince invited the princess out, right?
Cater: Yep, yep. They say that these two weren't actually officially dating yet, either.
Cater: But, man… Don'tcha think it's a little embarrassing for them to have their dating life passed down in stories like this?
Ruggie: Y-yeah, now that you put it that way, I guess it could be a little… or maybe very embarrassing.
Cater: Riiiight~!? And on top of that, their backdrop is the night sky. Looks to me like just another generic date plan.
Ruggie: Oho, if you're gonna say it like that… You mean you'd have done things differently, Cater-san?
Cater: I mean, a nighttime view of the sky's not a bad choice… But if it was me, I prolly woulda chosen a super popular touristy attraction. What about you, Ruggie-kun?
Ruggie: Hmm, probably any park that I can get in for free. Though, if they're payin', then I'll go anywhere. I'd always be down for an all-you-can-eat buffet!
Cater: YOU'RE DEFINITELY JUST THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF THERE, HUH!? Not romantic at all…
Cater: …Oh hey! Look, Ruggie-kun. Lookin' at the painting closer, you can see the magical carpet handing him a flower. What a cute scamp~
Cater: Oh, that reminds me. I once received a flower from someone in the crowd after the Pop Music Club finished a set at the school's culture festival.
Ruggie: Eh, you're kidding!?
Ruggie: If we're talkin' about a Pop Music Club performance, that includes all the chaotic stuff like Lilia-san's screamo and stage divin', right…?
Ruggie: You tellin' me after all that, you actually have fans, and one of them even gave you a flower?
Ruggie: …Heh. Cater-san, even if ya wanna try to rewrite your bad experiences, ya shouldn't lie like that.
Cater: Hey, wait, Ruggie-kun, don't look at me with pity in your eyes! It really happened!
Ruggie: Suuure, so did they ask for your deets?
Cater: Nah, they ran off as soon as they handed me the flower.
Ruggie: Seeee~ No way they just ran off without gettin' a phone number off ya, that'd be a waste of givin' you the flower.
Cater: But why would I even give them my… Ah! Ruggie-kun, I think you're misunderstanding something.
Cater: The kid who gave me the flower was about 4 or 5 years old. And it was just some cute flowers they picked in the wild, too ♪
Ruggie: Eh… 4 or 5 years old?
Ruggie: ―Pfft, ahahahaha! S-Seriously? Man, suddenly, now that's just way too cute of a story…
Cater: Oh come on, you don't need to laugh about it that much. You're the one who misinterpreted it in the first place.
Ruggie: It's your fault I got confused, Cater-san. Like, we were literally just talkin' about dates 'n stuff right before.
Ruggie: But I think I get someone at that age enjoyin' themselves regardless of the actual music goin' on.
Ruggie: Or maybe it was love at first sight? That's the kinda age where ya might see cases of puppy love. You stunner, you~
Cater: Who knows? Whatever it was that they thought or felt…
Cater: I'm just happy to know there are people out there that think I'm pretty swell ☆

Cater: Oooh, I really like this painting of the King of Beasts~ He's so relaxed, it looks like we get to see him truly in his element.
Ruggie: Is he lounging on a rock? Amazin' that he can still look regal even when lazin' around.
Cater: Someone striking a cool pose makes a good painting, sure, but sometimes the natural look is pretty fresh, too.
Cater: It's got a pretty good style, without being too pretentious, if that makes sense…
Cater: And it super feels like if I snagged a pic of this moment and uploaded it to Magicam, it'd end up the top trending photo ever ☆
Ruggie: Oh yeah, speaking of, I saw that photo you uploaded just the other day got a ton of likes.
Ruggie: It just happened to come across my dash, so I don't really remember the context, but it was you with a cat in a pretty chic place.
Cater: Yay, you saw that!? Pretty sure that was when I snapped a pic with this one café's pet cat.
Cater: I like to visit café's, right. So on days off, I usually go and get lunch or drinks at places that catch my eye.
Ruggie: You go to a café whenever you get a day off!? That's gotta cost a ton!
Cater: Oh, no, it's not every day off! I'm just sayin' that I do it often, but there's days I just chill in my room, too.
Ruggie: Kinda feels like it'd be hard to pry you off your phone even on those kinda days, huh.
Cater: Ah, that obvious? Even if I'm just lounging in bed, you know I gotta check the 'cam ♪
Cater: I guess I also sometimes read whatever comic is currently popular, or play some games.
Ruggie: I wasn't expecting you to say you play games. Oh, is it like you have online friends you play with, or something?
Ruggie: There's a ton of co-op and pvp games out there, so.
Cater: Uhh, I don't really play those sorts of games.
Cater: Sometimes whenever I need to clear my head, I'll just play a puzzle game, or something that just has simple tasks.
Cater: One game that I've recently got into is one of those puzzles where objects fall down the screen…
Cater: And this one always has a lot of new characters, all cute and round and plush-lookin'.
Cater: I get a nice and fuzzy feeling just watching 'em go, so I don't really do good with the whole collecting items or raising my score, though.
Cater: Most of the time I'll end up falling asleep if I'm playing it while laying down and just wake up to terrible scores.
Ruggie: The fact that you're not houndin' for a high score, and just play for fun like that definitely sounds more like your speed.
Ruggie: Alllright, well, I've checked out all the art in this gallery, so I'm thinkin' of headin' to the next one. See ya, Cater-san. I'm off.
Cater: Okay, bye-bye, Ruggie-kun. Maybe I'll go check out the shop~ …Oh hey―
Tumblr media
Cater: It's a painting showing that one story of the girl who fell adrift into the ocean, huh.
Cater: If I remember right, this girl drank some mystery drink and her whole body shrunk. Poor little thing.
Cater: She'd open her mouth before thinking and stick her neck into whatever she could… Seriously, what a meddling little girl~

Big Bang Story Teaser #2!
Tumblr media
(Teaser for story #1)
Today I'm gonna tease you with the story that'll go up on April 20th, by @madronash (writer), @rinari7 (beta), @anandabrat (helper/second beta), and @elle-arts (artist)! Here's what they've cooked up for us:
The Hanged Man: Myka and Claudia set off for Cornwall to investigate some mysterious disappearances, Helena's orb in tow. When Helena finds a wicked pack of cards, she and Myka don't expect to get sucked into another world… a world created by another woman unappreciated in her time, and designed to challenge their assumptions about their own. This story uses the multi-layered symbolism of Tarot and combines it with a sharp critique of how symbols are created, who they’re for, and how to embrace them without becoming lost in the process. Follow Helena and Myka as they traverse a strange landscape, discover each other anew, encounter familiar characters in ways they’ve never seen before, and ultimately carve their way towards a future together.
Listen, I have no idea about the whole concept of Tarot, but I'm excited to read this and not just enjoy an awesome Bering and Wells story but learn something in the process!
If you're as excited as I am, please show your love by reblogging this (go wild in the tags too!) - nothing is more motivating and encouraging for a creator than seeing their work get love and attention! So, let's all cheer them on on their home stretch!
