i would really like to know what part of vol2 was a masterpiece beyond it looking and sounding slick and cool.
first off. the Vecna reveal as the big bad behind everything when nothing in the previous seasons even hinted that he and his family existed? Those murders would have become a town urban legend in no time!! Especially since it only happened 30 years ago?? And as evidenced by the writers keeping in the line "the murder house" when Jason and co. talked about it, other townspeople beyond Eddie's uncle did know about the Creels so why did none of the other born and bred main characters ever know this?? This reveal was an ass-pull of a retcon plain and simple.
Max ending up in the coma?? Completely diminishes the Dear Billy scene. Oh, music and human connection saves you from despair?? SIKE! actually it doesn't because we really just wanted to use this Kate Bush song for style points. Trauma does actually get you in the end wdym? then they used the song again, for what I don't fucking know, but certainly not for thematic reasons. Timing the lyrics to come back just as Robin throws the molotov?? ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. And also we get to El to "revive" Max because El really is just that special. No one would know what to do without her!
Not even going to get into that indulgent close-up of El's feet.
Not even going to get into posing dead Brenner like Jesus on the fucking cross.
Lucas' speech ending with "normal is just a raging psychopath". Really?? Really?? Was this supposed to be a shot at Jason? The same guy who, upon seeing Max - a stranger to him- immediately tried to rescue her?? I will die on the hill that S4 accidentally created a compelling antagonist in Jason and just never fucking knew it. (i've cooled down on my thoughts with this one. still think the line was stupid as hell though and that jason was a lot more compelling than vecna)
Eddie dying for no reason, plot-wise or narrative-wise?? WHY? So he could die a hero? BITCH HE COULD HAVE LIVED AS A HERO. I didn't care for Eddie all that much but he should have died right after his guitar solo if he was already marked for death. at least that would have been cool instead of stretching it out like what happened
Not even going to get into how Steven, Nancy, and Robin were choking for what seemed like an hour or longer. Pacing was off the entire 4-hour runtime but that especially seemed egregious.
The El and Hopper reunion feeling like an afterthought?? It was so emotionally dull. They might as well have made them reunite at the start of S5. El going "I always believed you were alive" BENCH WHERE. YOU LITERALLY CREATED A SCHOOL PRESENTATION TO HONOR HIM AS A DEAD HERO. This one actually got to me the most because I live for loving father and daughter dynamics and I was rooting for them to reunite but what we got.... it fell so, so flat.
The entire two day timeskip in the first place. Absolutely abhorrent. Completely cutting into the climax, completely removing the falling action.
Hopper fucking beheading a Democreature in slow-mo. The entire Russia story arc was already very heightened but you know what. yeah sure why not. WHY THE FUCK NOT
Mike's monologue about loving El even when she's not a superhero when she is literally doing superheroism right in front of him. Mike straight up saying with his full chest that his life started the day after Will went missing. Will who is next to him as he's fucking saying this shit. Will who has done nothing else this season except to help mend his relationship with El.
Robin seeing Vickie again at a fucking weapons emporium. WHAT FOR? They didn't even rationalize this with a throwaway line that maybe she and her (ex) boyfriend were going hunting or whatever. Literally just did this so we can see Robin upset. Because really? We could have that scene in the gym WITHOUT THE WAR ZONE SCENE.
Whatever the fuck they did to Steve "oh actually I wanna have six kids" Harrington.
Will not even getting the dignity of saying his feelings. Was a simple last longing look at Mike as he says, " I really am stupid for falling for him, huh, Jonathan?" Too Fucking Hard? No need to say Mike's name, no need to say the word GAY (calling him a fag or a queer or a fairy was fucking fine though) to make it clear as day where Will stood. it could have been done so easily with how they set up the Jonathan and Will scene. And now we have to contend with people arguing that maybe he really wasn't in love with Mike at all or the even stupider take that maybe Will was actually in love with Eleven.
Brenner getting shot multiple times was actually very cathartic and I'm glad El left him to rot. But again this just comes back to why is El's storyline the only one handled with this much grace and understanding for her agency?
The Russia storyline just fucking ending with them being able to cross country borders no problem??? and no sign of Dmitry or Yuri at all?? Fucking sloppy.
Mike just... existing as El's cheerleader now apparently?? What the hell happened to him. They couldn't even make him a malewife right because he had to have Will push him into his monologue.
Speaking of monologues, fucking Henry got pages and pages of the most uninspired villain script I've ever had the misfortune of hearing in this year of 2022. Yeah yeah we live in a society. yeah yeah El is actually just so special she even created her own super villain what else is new.
S4 Volume 2 was a total let down and I am not going to be blinded by the beautiful cinematography into saying it was better than it is, than what it could have been. All style, no substance.
And as redditor timlest said it best:

also sending 13 with bob <33333 -allie
allie help i blacked out and somehow wrote almost 3k. what did u do to me. @spideystevie
13. meeting as the best friends/wingmen/chaperones of their two friends who want to go out together, but not alone
word count: 2.7k
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe you actually convinced me to come along,” you muttered, propping your feet up on your best friend’s dashboard.
Rooster glanced sideways at you before going back to anxiously scanning the parking lot. “Me neither,” he admitted, “but I’m so glad you said yes.”
“Remind me of the plan one more time?” you asked.
He held up his fingers and began counting items off. “First, we meet up with Natasha at the Shake Shack.”
“We are at the Shake Shack,” you said.
“Yes. The three of us laugh and play nice for a bit, just to break the ice. Second—or maybe third?—you get up to use the restroom. I don’t know, make up some excuse.”
You rolled your eyes but let him keep going.
“Fourth—wait, or are we still on three?—anyways, fourth, while you’re gone I put the moves on Natasha, maybe invite her to officially do something one-on-one. Fifth, you come back and I’ll give you the signal. Remember the signal?”
You recited, “‘Ready to rock and roll?’ means it’s not going good and we have to go. ‘Living the good life’ means it’s going really well and I should buzz off. You picked such corny catchphrases, man.”
“But you remembered them!” Rooster considered things for a moment before adding another finger. “Sixth, seventh, whatever—profit.”
You hummed sarcastically and turned to look back out the window. It was winter, so it was already completely dark over the Shake Shack as you and Rooster waited for his definitely-not-a-date to show up. Other young people on awkward first outings, as well as large groups of friends, milled about on the open-air tables and greater parking lot, swapping ice cream and fries and having a generally great time. Rooster probably couldn’t have picked a better place to stage this “friendship coup” as he called it—in short, an attempt to get out of the friendzone with Natasha Trace.
You’d only met Natasha a handful of times, but you liked her. You weren’t sure how much you liked her for Bradley, but you also weren’t the type to meddle that deeply into your friend’s love life. And Rooster had been single now for nearly four long, painful years; you thought it would be good for him to get out of his head and get back in the dating game.
“Oh, shit, that’s her!” he hissed suddenly, swatting your arm. “Come on, let’s go!”
You quickly climbed out of the Bronco, following Rooster’s lead as he began to make his way towards the sleek Volkswagen that had just pulled into the lot. The headlights in the Volkswagen shut off and the driver’s side door opened to reveal Natasha, graceful and strong as ever. She broke into a smile as soon as she saw Rooster and leaned against the open frame of her door.
“Hey, Rooster,” she said before her eyes slipped past him and landed on you. They lit up with recognition. “Oh, hey!”
“Hi,” you said, feeling incredibly transparent and awkward. 
“Oh, uh—they just wanted to come with, I started talking about Shake Shack and they were like, ‘oh my god, I want to go!’ So I hope that’s okay,” rambled Rooster.
You glared daggers at the back of Rooster’s head, but Natasha just laughed and nodded. “Yeah, no worries. I mean—I’d be kind of a hypocrite if I said no.”
Rooster laughed. “Haha, yeah—wait, what?”
Natasha bent down into the open door and said, “You can come out, you know.”
The passenger door to the Volkswagen swung open and a man stepped out, and you momentarily forgot that you were in the middle of drilling a hole in the back of Bradley’s head with your eyes.
He was tall and lean, with short blonde hair combed back out of his face. He was wearing glasses, but even in the dim light of the parking lot you could make out wide, blue eyes and a shy, kind expression on his face. He glanced nervously around the group: first at Natasha, then at Rooster, then back to Natasha, and then to you, where they stayed.
“This is Bob,” said Natasha. “I figured it’d be okay if he tagged along with us, too.”
Your mind had stuttered to a halt, but if there was one thing to be said about Rooster, he was quick on his feet. “Yeah, definitely! Nice to meet you, Bob. Hey, I just remembered I left my wallet in my car like an idiot.” He pinned you with a sharp look. “Can you come grab it with me?”
You only considered arguing for maybe half a second before tearing your eyes away from Bob and sighing, “Yeah, let’s go. Be right back, guys. Meet you at the shack?”
“Sounds good!” called Natasha as you and Rooster began to jog away.
Rooster yanked open the driver’s side door of the Bronco and bent over the seat for pure formalities, because he knew as well as you did that the outline of his brown leather wallet was prominent and very obvious in his back pocket.
“She brought one too!” he hissed at the gas pedal.
You looked up at the sky, asking anyone listening to please, please, send you help. Then you said, “So?”
“So that throws a bit of a spanner in the works!”
“Does it?”
He straightened up, waving a pad of brown napkins in your direction. “Yes! Is that her way of telling me this is a strictly-friends situation? Is Bob my competition? What message am I meant to receive here?”
“Maybe the message that she felt the same way that you did about this little hang-out and brought along a safety net?” you offered. “Please stop waving those napkins at me, Bradley.”
“Right, sorry.” He tossed them into the backseat, where they scattered like confetti, and you fought back a shiver of disgust. “So what do I do?”
You cocked your head at him. “I don’t know, Rooster. Maybe…go hang out with her? And stop stalling at your car?”
Rooster blinked. “Fuck. You’re right. Let’s roll out.”
When you arrived at the front counter, Bob and Natasha still hadn’t ordered. They were standing shoulder to shoulder, staring up at the menu, and you took a moment to try and decipher their body language: her arms were folded, his loose and relaxed; she would periodically tap her hip against his, less in a manner that tried to get his attention and more out of casual familiarity; when they spoke to each other, they didn’t turn their heads, just spoke out of the sides of their mouths and trusted the other to catch it.
In all honesty, they reminded you a lot of you and Bradley. The thought made you feel strangely…relieved, but you couldn’t figure out why exactly.
Bob noticed you and Rooster first, turning and smiling. He met your eyes, but then looked away just as quickly.
“Hi,” you said, stepping up next to him and introducing yourself. “Sorry about before. I swear, he’d lose his head if it wasn’t screwed on.”
“Yeah, I’ve gathered,” chuckled Bob before blinking. “Oh, I just mean—Natasha’s told me—I’ve heard that Bradley can be—”
“You’re good,” you interrupted swiftly. “I love him, but he’s an idiot.”
Bob smiled that quick, nervous smile again before turning back to the menu board. “Okay. Do you know what you’re gonna get?”
You nodded. “They do a killer float here.”
Bob glanced at you in surprise. “You don’t get shakes at the Shake Shack?”
“You do?” you countered.
“Yes,” he said. “It’s a Shake Shack.”
You found yourself laughing. “Okay then, wise guy, educate me!”
“I’m gonna change your life,” promised Bob, stepping up to the counter and ordering two peanut-butter fudge milkshakes. When you tried to pull out your own wallet, he put out a hand to stop you. 
“I’m perfectly capable—” you started.
“Please. What kind of teacher would I be if I made my student pay for their own school supplies?”
You snorted with laughter, turning to share an amused look with Rooster before realizing in a panic that you’d been so caught up talking with Bob that you’d lost track of both Natasha and Rooster. You swore under your breath, stepping away from the counter and looking back and forth for where they’d gone. He’d asked you to be his wingman because he was nervous, and you’d already messed it up!
Bob stepped up next to you, two milkshakes in hand. “Hey, you okay?” he asked.
“Where’d they go?” you asked, still looking around the patio and the parking lot.
Bob slurped loudly at one of the shakes for a moment before saying, “She said something about stealing him away to play mini golf across the street. Must be what happened.”
You whirled around to face him. “You guys had a game plan?”
His cheeks colored and he didn’t meet your eyes. “Yeah. She was nervous. That’s why I’m here.” He squinted at you. “Did you guys have a game plan?”
You bit your lip, realizing you’d been caught. “Yes,” you said softly.
“There we go, then,” said Bob, holding out the second shake. “Even Stevens.”
You took it from him and worked your straw up and down, trying to mix it. “Well, then what are we supposed to do while they play mini golf?”
Bob did meet your eyes then, fixating you in place with that impressive cobalt stare. You felt your breath hitch in your throat and a warm flush began to spread out from your throat. You hoped against hope he couldn’t tell in the darkness.
Bob said, “Wait for them to get back, I guess.”
You led the way back to Rooster’s car, where you retrieved the spare key that only you knew about from its spot in the front wheel well. You and Bob worked together to lower the small tailgate of the Bronco, and then Bob helped lift you up onto it. You both sat there, hip to hip: you, swinging your legs over the empty space; him, keeping his calmingly still.
“I can’t believe they ditched us,” you said around the straw wedged between your lips.
Bob moved his straw up and down, just like you’d done before. You tried not to stare at his hands. He said, “I don’t know. This was kind of best-case-scenario for how tonight could have gone.” He smiled. “Imagine the four of us wedged in a cramped diner booth, watching both of them fail to flirt.”
“Ugh, good point,” you said. “Not that it’s any of my business, but—you and Natasha? Just friends, then? She’s here for Bradley?”
Bob made a strangled noise, somewhere between a snort and a raspberry. “No,” he said. “Just friends. We’ve known each other since we were kids.”
You took another sip of your shake before setting it down behind you. “I don’t know, that can be kind of romantic sometimes.”
“Natasha and I are not romantically engaged,” he said, enunciating clearly. “She’s here because she wants to see how things go with Bradley.” He paused. “Besides, I’ve heard stories—how do I know you and him aren’t secretly pining for each other?”
You pretended to gag. “Ew, no thanks. He’s practically my brother.”
“See, it’s weird!” laughed Bob. “You’re not allowed to make fun of me!”
“I’m not!” you laughed back. “You made your point. I’m sorry.”
You both smiled, a comfortable silence falling over the backseat of the Bronco. The nerves of the night were starting to wear off, and you found yourself shivering in the cool winter air. When you reached behind you to grab the blanket Rooster kept stashed in the back seat, Bob helped wrap it tight around your shoulders, rubbing his hands up and down your arms.
“Thanks,” you said, trying to fight back that shy flush of warmth that threatened to overtake you again.
A few more minutes of quiet stretched out in front of the two of you, and you finally sighed, buzzing your lips and trying to fill the silence. “Now what?” you asked, starting to swing your legs again.
“How do you know Bradley?” Bob asked, leaning back and resting his head against the back of the headrest.
You turned, arching an eyebrow. “Twenty questions? Really?”
He laughed. “If you’ve got other ideas on how to kill time, I’m all ears.”
You rolled your eyes again, turning to face forward and letting an amused giggle escape your lips. “Okay, fine. But that’s not how twenty questions works. You have to work up to the deep shit.”
Bob pulled one leg up onto the tailgate, lacing his fingers around his knee. “Okay, wise one,” he teased. “Educate me, then. You go first.”
“What’s your favorite color?”
“Seven. How do you know Bradley?”
You burst out laughing, grabbing onto his arm to keep yourself upright as he snickered, obviously pleased with himself. When Rooster and Natasha came back, you were both still giggling, but over a different twenty-questions-inspired joke. You didn’t even know how much time had passed—apparently enough for at least one game of mini golf to be completely finished.
“You guys look like you’re having fun,” said Natasha with a smile.
“Hey, guys,” you said. “How was mini golf?”
“Good,” said Rooster, swapping a look with Natasha. “Fun. I lost.”
“No surprise, there,” you teased, and Bob chuckled.
Rooster lifted his eyebrows at you. “Thanks for that. You ready to head out?”
You sat up quickly, letting the blanket fall away from your shoulders. “Oh, yeah, sure. We can head out. Is this a rock-and-roll situation?”
Rooster shook his head but didn’t say anything, so you figured he was withholding a lot of things that he wanted your opinion on. You stifled a sigh and shifted off of the Bronco, stretching your legs as Bob stood up next to you. As he shuffled closer to Natasha—presumably to ask how her date was—you leaned back into the cab and grabbed your mostly-full milkshake, holding it out to Bob.
When he took it, his brow furrowed in confusion and he reached up to adjust his glasses. “You didn’t have any?”
“I had a couple sips,” you said defensively. “You can finish it.”
“But—you—I—”
You grimaced and whispered, “I don’t like peanut butter in my milkshakes. But I can pay you back!”
“This is the most embarrassing moment of my life,” said Bob, and you were only half-sure he was being sarcastic. “Don’t worry about the money. We’ll just have to come back and get floats next time.”
As soon as he realized what he’d said, his whole face lit up bright pink. You saw Natasha and Rooster’s eyebrows fly into their hairlines at the same time. You grinned, unable to stop the quiet laugh that bubbled out of you as you nodded and said, “Yeah, I guess we will. I’ll see you around, Bob.”
“See you,” he mumbled, scratching the back of his neck and wincing as he and Natasha began to slowly make their way back to her Volkswagen. She grabbed his sleeve, giving him a firm and teasing shake, and you grinned at the sight before turning and closing the tailgate back up and moving to the passenger seat.
“So,” you said as Rooster turned the key in the ignition, “how was it?”
He made a ‘kaputz’ gesture with his hand and blew a raspberry.
Your face fell. “Oh no. What happened?”
“Nothing happened,” he explained, turning and backing out of his parking spot. “I guess that’s kind of why it’s a no-go. I think we’re just better as friends. And I think I’m actually okay with that.”
You smiled and nudged him on the arm when he paused to shift gears. “I’m proud of you, Bradshaw.”
He scoffed and shook his head. You sat back in your seat, prepared for a nice, quiet drive home, when Rooster suddenly leaned across the center console, shoving his face into your personal space. “How was your night, hmm?”
“Oh my god, go away, you freak!” you giggled, shoving at him. “None of your business!”
He sat up and pulled out of the parking lot, laughing and sending you a knowing look that made you want to explode. “The truth will out,” he said, “and by that I mean I’m gonna text Natasha later and get all the details. So which side of the story do you want me to hear?”
“His,” you said. “Definitely his.”
Rooster laughed again and you kicked your feet back up on his dashboard, pressing your knuckles to your mouth as you turned to look out the window. A pleased, heady fog had settled over your brain, and you felt like giggling for no real reason at all. The night had no more biting chill left, and your fingers smelled like chocolate and peanut butter.

Hi! How was your day? I hope it was great! Can I request a hsr (xianzhou) hcs with the characters you want with a klee/diona/xiangling!child!reader? I wanted to request before and I was reading your rules to request but I didn't see anything about child!reader soo i just asume i can request about it.
Sorry if there's was a grammar error por something I'm still learning english😭 somehow I learn some new words with your hcs so thank you?🤔
Whatever don't forget to take care of yourself, drink water and eat properly. Have a good day! 💞
HAIII SWEETIEE, thank you thank you for the request (。˃ ᵕ ˂ *) ウン
I've never really thought of wrote child!reader but it was super fun to try it out, I know your request is kind of...old...(haha sorry....)
A/n - it's been so long since I've actually written regular requests (not matchups) honestly I forgot what it feels like and this was a great request and very refreshing
Anyways, YAAA
Huohuo
As a teen herself, shes...kind of taken a back by reader
Doesn't really know what to do and just stands there staring at them blankly
Maybe she'll try making a conversation and offer to take them to eat something
Generally very unsure on what to do and doesn't want to do anything wrong (poor thing TvT)
Tho if there's someone older and more experienced around she'll be a lot more calm and then she'll just talk with them about things she thinks children like
Dan Feng - imbibitor lunae
We saw how he acts with bailu already but I just think he's adorable
Just...stares at them
Very awkward around them and if they ask him a bunch of questions he'll just answer it shortly and quietly not really knowing what else to do
But can actually take care of kids if he needs to, so he'll just crouch down to readers level and like give them a single pat on the head and stand up walking away being like "come on, let's go"
Is not a fan of holding children so he'll prefer to hold their hand (even if he has to crouch down a bit)
Jing yuan
Honestly if you ever need a babysitting he's probably the person you'll go to
He's very gentle and loves playing around with kids
Whenever he sees the reader he'll crouch down and ruffle their hair to annoy them
He also likes picking up the reader, just like with one hand picks them up
Sometimes (if the reader doesn't protest against being held) he'll just walk around xianzhou with the reader in his arms, he'll do his work and duties normally like they're not even there
he could talk to reader for like hours, about the most random things or something he sees while walking around, like anything that keeps the child distracted
He's incredibly gentle with them and always careful not to hurt them.
Also since he's very wealthy, is probably gonna spoil the reader, a lot.

Just thinking about John Soap Mactavish meeting a girl, taking her out on a few dates, becoming her boyfriend and he is such a sweetheart too!
He is the man for her, always treating her, giving her sappy poems he wrote while on deployment, his sketches, flowers and all. He buys herb tea for her when she feels bad because he knows she likes a good bitter tea to burn her throat. He knows she prefers tea over coffee. He knows her favorite things on earth and truly it is a shame he goes to deployment so soon. He loves his job, sure. But he loves her too!
He proposes to her within six months, the proposal comes early for her expectations and she fears he is lovebombing. But she accepts the proposal, puts on the ring anyways because she knows John Mactavish is the best deal out there. Always with his confidence, bravery, gentleness and happiness. He is smiling a lot for someone who has seen a lot. And she appreciates him for it. For never letting that violence get through him. For having the most beautiful smile.
So when she ties the knot with him, it is early, she knows. They get married, and everything is much better! He is extra careful, extra gentle. He smiles more, talks more. She fears this will all end one day. That this is the honeymoon phase to the marriage. Because coming to think of it, they only met 6 months ago. This is all a bit strange, but she won't let herself overthink this. She'll enjoy her marriage. She'll enjoy Johnny and his smile.
"John you will break it."
"Don't worry, luv. I'll handle it!" Said John. Who was putting their toaster apart and trying to inspect the problem before putting it together.
She sighed, she knew the outcome. Her husband loved to put things apart and then put it together. But every single time. The thing would be broken. And this time would be no different. Another expensive indulgence he is in. She should probably stop him from breaking the thing before it is too late and bring it to someone who actually understands. But it feels like it would be like taking away a child's toy.
And as expected, not even fifteen minutes later Johnny rises his head and smiles clumsily.
"The thing was burnt from the inside, couldn't save it."
"Mhm." She knows it wasn't.
"... I'll buy a new one."
Next time she wouldn't let him break it.
"What will we be eatin' tonight?"
"I have no idea. What should we do?"
This earned a grumble from him, there was no food when he got home? Was she sick? He wasn't used to coming to a home with no warm meal. In their house, it didn't work like that.
"You didn't think of anythin'?!" He is just taken aback, he thought things would be different.
"Nope." She is just as taken aback. What is she supposed to do? He didn't say he would come home today or specificed what he wanted for dinner so she forgot.
After seeing his upset shoulders, and also the inability to speak up about it she got in the kitchen. Seeing what he just pushed her to do, John was quickly behind her.
"So what are we uhm, cooking?" He says this with a sly smirk, she turns to look at his face.
"We? Go sit down John, I'll figure something out."
"Whaaat no! I'd die sitting still when you're cooking for me!"
Just like that, they tried to work in the kitchen together. But whatever John did, she was all over him.
"John, That's too much oil, love! Meat already has some oil in it y'know?"
"I always do it like this!" He insists.
He moves to work with the mashed potatoes, she stops him.
"John. When did margarine enter our house?!"
"Margarine? It says butter on it."
"John..." She sighs. It is the name of the brand. But it takes a moment longer for him to realize it. It is fine though, it is silly.
Next time she'll remind him not to put too much oil or to read the items better next time. Next time, she hopes, for once he won't do things his way.
It is honestly so shocking to see them being so awkward and different within a few weeks of living together. John is always stubborn, and so is she. John does things his way, and she never corrects him even though she says she will. John keeps breaking stuff in order to fix them, and she keeps forgetting about the dinner because he didn't specifically tell her he'll be home.
Guess the honeymoon phase had ended quickly.
"John! For the nth time!" She huffed, exhausted with this. "Why are you so stubborn to let someone else take care of things?"
"I am just tryna fix it!" He is smiling nervously, and a little disappointed in himself. It was in his nature. He was a curious man, let him live!
"Bonnie, really? Again.." He shakes his head and rubs his temples, though he has an exhausted bitter smile tugging on his lips. "'m going to bed."
"I am sorry, I... I still haven't gotten used to your schedule." She pouts, watching him leave to his room. It wasn't her fault... She was forgetful of the days he was home or not.
"Why must you never listen?!" She was the first one to bite. And John had bit back.
"Why must you not care? Why do you forget me?"
"I do not forget you. I am getting used to it!"
Just like that, they argued for hours to no end. John was nervous as to think if he did something wrong. Because things weren't like this before. She was sad too, thinking about their old days. Maybe they did act rash about this.
Maybe they were fools for acting too fast.
She said nothing, so didn't John.
"Love..." She looked at the washing machine. That is no longer in any way functioning. It was separated into its parts. She sighed, rubbing her temples. It hadn't been a month since their last argument.
"I was..." He trailed off. "Sorry,"
This time he didn't smile after his mistake, and the absence of his smile stabbed her in the heart. She widened her eyes, and looked at the expensive mistake.
"Oh, so it had those things in it?"
John's head snapped back at her, blinking with confusion.
"Huh. Yeah. Yeah!" He smiles. And suddenly her whole world is at peace again, and the knife retreats from her heart.
She did not correct him before, she wouldn't correct him again. Damn those expensive mistakes, nothing was worth more than Johnny's smile. His smile was worth more than anything. She'd write down a new memo each week to follow his always changing schedule. Anything for that smile to stay put on his face. John had given her everything. He'd been so patient with her forgetfulness. So patient with her reluctance to sudden changes even though it was the most simple thing like a schedule.
The least she could do was to protect his smile and savour it.
I apologize for this. I just rambled. Might be bad, it is probably bad. No beta read or anything just a slap of late night thoughts. I just think Johnny's smile is one of the most attractive things about him. And I feel his partner would know it too. Because look at him, truly. I'd wake up every morning just for the sole reason of seeing his smile. 🙏

decorates the kitchen table with the vase of flowers and yummy smelling candles 
then starts cooking dinner for the two of you!!
you dress nicely and settle in at the table while he cooks, asking him about his day
he serves you his food and it’s super yummy
also pours you some wine to have with dinner 
the two of you have a nice, intimate dinner and chat over your food
after dinner, he invites you back to his room to watch a movie
you guys cuddle up together and watch cheesy rom coms 
“Happy Valentine’s Day, y/n, I hope we get to spend many more together.”
Mammon:
this man’s tsundere ass pretends like he doesn’t care about Valentine’s Day 
honestly he probably pretends like he doesn’t know what it is in general 
but internally he’s an absolute softie and all he wants is to celebrate love with his human!!!
doesn’t say anything about it until he sees you upset one day 
“y/n?? what’s wrong??? do I need to kill someone????”
you’re just upset that you’re not even home for Valentines Day, and that you’re all alone and this is just a big, fat reminder
“I mean, if it’s *that* big of a deal to you, I guess I can be your Valentine. it’s stupid, anyway.”
you’re so overjoyed you give the dork a hug 
now queue Mammon bending over backwards to make you happy
he goes out and buys a ton of treats from your favorite cafe for you!! 
brings them to you after work and his heart almost implodes from how happy you get
but that’s not all
he takes you out to a cute little lowkey club 
drinks cosmos with you and talks about all the stuff he (pretends) he doesn’t care about 
totally dances with you too!! his face is red the whole time and he swears up and down it’s only to keep other weirdos away 
you make him take cute pictures with you in the photo booth too
the pictures don’t end up printing and you’re sad :(((
but the next day he shows up with a copy of them
“look, I know you were all sad about the pictures or whatever so I went back to get them for you. but don’t be showing anyone these, ok?? I don’t want it ruining my rep.”
(also he definitely has a secret copy of the original pictures in his wallet that he takes everywhere)
Leviathan:
he’s seen Valentine’s Day be celebrated in tons of anime and he’s always thought it was so cute 
and he always wanted to celebrate it but he never had anyone except his brothers, and no other demons found interest in the holiday
when he first meets you, that’s one of the first things he thinks and he already has this whole elaborate fantasy of what you’ll do together 
he’s way too shy and embarrassed to admit it
he definitely sends you a cute little e-card asking you to be his Valentine and then proceeds to shut his phone off for the next six hours so he can’t see your rejection
you actually get so worried you knock on his door to check on him and the otaku comes out all red faced and shy
you ask what happened and he’s all pouty about it :((
“I don’t blame you for not wanting a gross otaku like me for your Valentine. I don’t even know anything about Valentines!”
stop him before he gets embarrassed and hide again!!!
with some gentle coaxing and lots of reassurance, he’ll be almost good as new 
asks if you really want to be his Valentine and gets so happy when you agree 
you leave for a bit while he gets ready and when you come back, he’s ordered takeout and has an anime marathon ready for the two of you!!
you cuddle up to him and bed and share takeout containers while watching his favorite anime 
at one point you get sleepy and lean your head on his shoulder 
he forgets how to breathe 
sends you a cute little text after 
“thank you for being my Henry, y/n <3 and giving me the best VDay ever!!! maybe normie stuff isn’t so bad after all”
Satan:
he’s definitely read about Valentine’s Day in books 
and much like Levi as soon as you met, the thought of spending the day together brought a blush to his cheeks 
unlike his brother though, he plans out everything ahead of time 
he just straight up asks you if you want to go out with him, and he’s so casual about it that you have to ask if he knows what Valentine’s is
“of course I do, y/n. im asking you to be my Valentine”
you happily agree!! 
he tells you to dress casual and the next day takes you to a cat cafe for lunch
you order some yummy food and delicious coffee while you wait for your turn to play with the cats
Satan is honestly like a kid in a candy store when he’s playing with them 
like he’s practically tearing up over the little balls of fur 
the two of you play with the cats and cuddle on the floor the whole time
after that, he takes you to a local bakery to pick out a treat to take home with you 
when he takes you home, he takes extra care to walk you to your room 
“today was great, y/n. my favorite person and my favorite animal? what a thrill.”
Asmodeus:
this is his day
he usually spends it with multiple partners, thriving on their lust and need to be loved
but from the minute he met you, he knew he wanted this one to be spent with you and only you 
he’s been planning out the day for you guys for at least a month too
when he asks you to be his Valentine, he does it with white doves and a huge banner 
you’re so flustered but you immediately say yes!!!
wakes you up early on Valentine’s Day and takes you out for a super yummy breakfast
probably some fancy little cafe with parfaits and macarons and crepes 
after breakfast, he takes you to a salon for mani pedis and blowouts!! he wants you feeling as confident and beautiful as possible when he takes you out later
then you guys go to the mall and he picks out an outfit for you!! 
something really cute and kinda dressy, but perfect for the club 
you guys have a light dinner and some pre drinks at home before getting ready 
he insists on getting you ready and treating you like his little doll 
then he takes you to his favorite club 
it’s super busy for Valentine’s Day, and they’re only serving pink and red drinks
everyone gets a wristband sorting them by relationship status too!
Asmo dances with you all night, bringing you yummy drinks to sip on 
definitely posts videos of you guys on his Devilgram stories so that everyone can see how cute his human looks <33
probably has to carry you home cause you’re so tired from dancing/the drinks
does your skincare routine for you and tucks you into bed 
“have a goodnight, darling. thank you for giving me a Valentine's Day that was absolutely divine.”
Beelzebub:
Beel probably had no clue what Valentine’s Day is tbh 
he learns about it when he hears one of his brother’s talking about it and then starts to wonder if maybe you wanted to celebrate 
he doesn’t really understand the concept of it but A for effort 
he asks you if you want to go out to dinner with him and you just assume it’s normal for him
but when you see him all dressed up you realize what he meant by that!! 
he’s so cute it makes your heart melt
he takes you to a pretty nice restaurant with intimate lighting and a nice patio!!
he even tries to eat slower and gentler so he doesn’t scare you off
he even shares his dessert with you!!!
takes you for a walk after dinner and holds your hand 
if you get cold he totally gives you his jacket too! 
he’s thankful it’s dark so you can’t see how red his face is 
“I know you‘re probably used to a lot better Valentine’s Days then this one, but I just wanted you to be able to feel a little slice of home while you’re here.”
Belphegor: 
does not give a fuck about Valentine’s Day 
like he can’t even pretend to care 
you were kinda hoping he would do something for you even tho you thought your crush was unrequited 
but obviously he doesn't and he goes straight to bed after school 
you’re a little upset and you shed a few tears :((
Beel notices but doesn’t say anything to you, however he marches into their room and shakes his brother awake 
Belphie reminds him that he doesn’t care about stupid human traditions 
but Beel counters him by saying he cares about you 
He hates that his twin is right
brings you a pretty bouquet of supermarket flowers and knocks on your door
when he sees your red nose and eyes he feels guilty 
asks if you’ll come with him to go stargazing!! 
the two of you lay down on a blanket together and look up at the stars 
it’s cold so Belphie wraps an arm around you and let’s you lay your head on his shoulder
he’s like a human furnace tbh 
you fall asleep so he carries you home
“I’d pretend to care about all of your human traditions if it means I get to spend more time with you.”

~
Dear Dekarriose Dekarios,
I guess youre actual title now is the Wizard of Waterdeep, it may be inappropriate to still simply call you ‘Dekarios’ or ‘Gale’. I still will, change all you want, detest me all you want for it, I cannot change that image I still have of you from our youths.
A cocky bastard smug young man who probably had a good reason for being smug. A learned young wizard who, despite his inherent talents, buried his nose in a million books a second to learn more. I hated you for it back then. I think I hate you for it now.
I don’t know. I’ve never understood it. I never figured out how you could be more with so much inherent magical talent, but not enough to make you a sorcerer. I never understood how you could be more in control of your magic than a sorcerer. I never understood how we could be the same age, and yet when I first started my academic career at Blackstaff you were already finishing yours. I admired you for it, I hated you for it.
I thought you hated me too.
Not hate, that’s not right. I thought you abdhorred disliked me. I thought in some way, it was okay, we were rivals. We had our fun, I cursed you a few times (if you never knew that was me doing it. Sorry.), you explained every spell you knew in such detail I assumed you were being condescending on purpose. I casted spells with ease without trying but I could never learn a new spell. You learned a million new spells but took great effort in casting them. I hated you for your succeeding where I failed. I thought you felt the same.
I question that recently. I have people who hate me now. It’s not the same. If you did hate me, I guess I liked the way you hated me, it was more fun than how I’m hated now. But did you hate me? Were you being condescending, or did you just like to talk about things you found interesting? Do you even remember a word I’m writing down? Do you remember me? I can’t bame blame you if you don’t. It’s been so many years, even I only remember once I’ve reached the bottom of a bottle, but I remember a lot.
I’m reaching the end of the page. I feel I’ve written a lot about nothing, so I guess it’s time I cut to the chase. I do miss our rivalry, our misadventures, our friendship, whatever you’d call it. I miss Gale Dekarios, the smug little bastard that once tried to tutor me. I miss you.
I wish you the best,
Irisa
-~•~-
{set before the events of the game, written by my tiefling Tav, Irisa, a wild magic sorceress who briefly did not know she was a sorceress, thus she briefly tried to learn Wizardry at Blackstaff. It did not go well. In her time there she had a rivalrous relationship with Gale, because the two of them were young and immature, and eventually she was expelled from the academy. Years down the line her life is not great, she’s drunk a lot, misses petty arguments with our favorite wizard, reflects on their time together, and wrote this letter and sent it out when drunk and probably forgot all about it come morning.}
Dearest Irisa,
Your letter, though quite barely decipherable, comes as a bit of a shock for me. I did not expect to receive word from you after so many years, and though I can tell you’re not doing exactly the greatest at the time of writing, I hope you’re well otherwise.
It may shock you to know that, despite how many years it’s been, I do remember you. For all it’s worth, I remember the rivalry between us. Who puts a Wizard and a Sorcerer in the same fold? I’ll never understand how that came to be, but it was an enjoyable few years with you there.
I do get that a lot, the admiration and the hatred all mixed in one. It may do well to understand that I am, or, rather, was one of Mystra’s chosen. Though my abilities as a child were to be challenged, it was all because of her. It’s not every day you have an eight-year-old human practicing magic, and Mystra knew that of me. She’s the only reason why I had such control and understanding, though it helped being quite studious.
Despite it all, I can say I never did hate you. You pushed me to countless new limits, helped me see my oddities and how to work through them, and showed me the intensity of magic on a grander scale than reading books ever could. You brought out the best in me, regardless of our differences.
While I didn’t hate you, I can confidently say I did envy your ease in casting spells. If only I could whisk a spell together that easily! Concentration gets the best of me nowadays, perhaps I should have practiced more of that while at the Academy.
I do sincerely apologize for any condescension you may have felt. I tend to do that at times apparently! It was a genuine interest on my part to have someone who shared a similar understanding with me, and I wanted to tell you of all the worlds we could both accomplish. My mother has quipped it as “Galesplaining”, whatever she intends that to mean.
I remember you completely. All the glory, the joy, the hurt, the failure. It’s ingrained in my mind and I doubt I can ever sand it away. I wouldn’t want to, either. You made my time at the Academy more enjoyable than it had been for years. You changed me, in some of the best ways imaginable.
I can’t deny finding myself at the bottom of a bottle stirring over the past, much like yourself, wondering what I could have changed or done differently. Maybe we could’ve stayed friends, that’s a nice alternate reality to think of.
I miss you, too, Irisa, even if you were the cause of all my misdemeanors and failures when my day started on the wrong foot. I have to know, were you the one who caused my portal home to get so out of shape?
When you’re sober, I implore you to visit my tower in Waterdeep. I’d like to catch up with you, it’s been far too long since we’ve spoken.
From the desk of,
𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔
And, for reference, I sort of liked the way you hated me, too.

Happy STS, Elli!
What are the most and least important aspects to you when it comes to character-creation? Are there any that don't matter to you at all? Is this different when it comes to reading about other people's characters?
How easy is it for you to change things about your characters when they don't work for whatever reason? Do you tend to change the story to fit the characters or the characters to fit the story?
Happy STS, let's not talk about the time this ask spent in my drafts.
I think there is only one absolutely important aspect: They gotta be fun. They can be fun for lots of different reasons (which are highly subjective and situational, who knows which char clicks), and being self-loathing tormented sad ace mages is only one of them 😅
Least is probably how they look. Hair color/style is probably the only thing I actually think about for most - I still have to look at Cedric's portrait every few weeks because I keep forgetting his eye color, and I forgot Merry's when I wrote GS as well XD I can't picture shit. It's not relevant to me. I could write a whole book without any character described and would barely miss something.
This is even more so when reading, I definitely have completely forgotten how characters look before, and I will again, and I have read stuff I really am not a fan of because I liked a character.
Consciously changing, once the story is done, don't even know if I could. While writing, things keep changing, because I start with a bag of vibes instead of a filled out character sheet.
Occasionally, some things come up while I write more (backstories, side stories, stuff like that) which is hard if the main story has already been posted/shared and I am torn between changing stuff or having stuff that doesn't match.
Usually, that's small things; for example, in the first version of GS, Damien wasn't forced to stay with the rebels, did paperwork instead of using his magic to hurt people, and he consciously used his brothers name (thinking it wouldn't matter). After writing Undeserved and the flashback pieces, I could no longer do that, he would never have put Valadan in danger, and the whole Ed thing was too fun—but the character is still the same.

Writing Patterns
I was tagged by @shark-myths
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
My stories often start with the first line in my head. Like, once I get a line stuck in my head, I know there's a story connected to it, and I can write it down, and everything goes from there. Not always, but often. So I'm really curious to look back at them.
On the morning that Megan Stump was scheduled to arrive at Wentz House, Peter, Marquis of Highleyton, could not get himself out of bed. --I Prefer Our Love (Watch You Work the Room) -- Part Two okay, believe it or not, I had this line written as the first line of the sequel and then realized that I couldn't start there, more had to happen, so I backed up, and then.......more did happen, an entire other fic more lol
Patrick is in over his head before he even meets Pete Wentz. --Like Christmas Morning (alliwantforchristmasisyou) I knew I wanted to do a they're-already-married story, and this felt like the perfect line to get across exactly how long this has been going on.
Patrick doesn’t feel like it’s a conscious decision on his part. --Longer. Schrodingerverse fics, you may have noticed, alternate POV, so I knew this one had to be a Patrick POV, so I had to start somewhere in Patrick's head.
Patrick doesn’t think witches should be showy. --The Witching Hour okay, I wasn't going to write a story about witches but this line sprang into my head and I was like, I WANT THE STORY THAT GOES WITH, and I'm so happy I wrote it lol
This is the kind of thing that only happens to Pete.--Complicated honestly didn't entirely know where this story was going when I started it, but this seemed like a solid line to start literally any FOB story with
Tennyson turns thirteen in the middle of the tour. --Perfect summer. I want this to be some kind of suave and purposeful line but this was me reminding myself of when Tennyson's birthday is and how old he is lol
Patrick is very aware – because Pete tells him constantly, he couldn’t miss this – that Pete thinks Patrick is perfect. --Two Guys, One Spotlight unusually, this fic started with the title first, so I had to figure out what story would go with that title...
“I can do it,” Patrick says. --So Good at Rhythm my original idea for this story was going to be Pete convincing Patrick to play the drums, and then I sat down and this was the first line I typed sooooo yeah, it turned out to be a different story
Pete finds the Magic 8 Ball at a farmers’ market. --Magic 8 Ball whatever, I think this sentence is just Truth lol
Pete Wentz has a problem. --Riff with Patrick another universally applicable beginning to any FOB story
I genuinely wasn't sure I would uncover any patterns but look at that! I really love starting with a one-sentence paragraph. BAM. Hopefully it makes you want to read the punchline that follows in the next paragraph. I didn't realize how often I do this and now it seems so obvious, SORRY I DO IT ALL THE TIME, GUYS. I think I like the in media res feel of starting like that, like we're already smack-dab in the middle of the story so I'm going to give you a second to absorb the proclamation before we move on. I also personally prefer to start writing right in the middle of the story, so I can figure out quicker what's going on with everything, so that's probably why I do start there a lot. The scene-setting, if I do it, tends to happen a few paragraphs in, when the POV character rewinds to catch you up on What's Happened So Far. Interesting, I literally never noticed how often I do this lololol
(Also I literally forgot how many fics I wrote over that Tourdust summer, wow...)
Anyway! I tag whoever wants to do this! It was really interesting!

Well good, cause George is buying you every single thing he sees with elephants on them, now -If George knows gossip, you'd better believe he's going to you first -Most likely to tell you "go get it yourself" if you want something -I'm honestly not sure what his love language would be -Maybe receiving gifts or words of affirmation -You get him something once a week because of this -Also because he's always giving you things and you feel bad -George's clothes are also a little big on you, but it's not too bad -He probably only has a couple pet names for you -Darling, love, babe, baby...classic British stuff, ya know-

you ALSO get my longest inbox fic to date!!!!!!!!!!!! wrote this one around halloween so it features neimi and colm experiencing a few spooks in the ch 11 abandoned fort...
Neimi didn’t hate a lot of things.
She liked to think she was open-minded. Willing to try new things, step outside her comfort zone, all that. But this fort? Oh, she hated this fort. It felt like a perfect combination of awful things specifically designed to set off every single alarm in her head.
For starters, it was dark. Oh, Goddess, was it dark. She could hardly see a few feet in front of her, which was an issue, since seeing things from a distance usually helped with her whole archery thing. Sure, there was the odd torch on the wall, but they barely helped pierce through the blanket of shadow that seemed to cloak the entire fortress.
And it would’ve been bad enough if it was Grado troops or some band of mercenaries they were fighting. But noooo, it had to be monsters. The horrifying things were usually so full of holes or lacking in skin that her arrows often didn’t even have places to land on them. That already made them difficult enough to fight, but Neimi’s unfortunate tendency to freeze up the instant one noticed her was certainly not assisting matters. The fact that the entire fort was shrouded in a thick fog wasn’t helping her nerves any, either. She couldn’t help but feel something would jump out at her any mome-
She felt a hand on her shoulder.
“Neimi? Y-”
“AAAH?!” Neimi shot around, bow primed at whatever just-
Oh. It was Colm.
…right. Colm had accompanied her down here. He spent so much time lurking behind pillars or under tables she sometimes forgot he was there.
…now that she was thinking about it, that probably wasn’t helping her nerves any, either.
“Oh…. it’s just you. Hello, Colm.” Neimi shakily responded as she lowered her bow. Him being there helped ease her fears, if only a little. She knew he would be there to back her up, no matter what. And just knowing someone was with her was… calming.
Colm looked around the fort disappointingly. “Guess the kid wasn’t kidding when he said this place was abandoned. Not a single thing worth taking in this whole darn fort. Just a bunch of rusted weapons and old books.”
He kicked a nearby dustball as if to emphasize his point. “With all the stories I’d heard about this place, you’d figure there’d be something worthwhile here.” Colm mumbled under his breath
“…Stories?” Neimi tilted her head. This was the first she heard of this.
Colm looked up, surprised. “You haven’t heard? Really?” Neimi nodded.
Colm’s grin turned mischievous, which was yet another thing to add to the list of why Neimi was so high-strung right now. “Do you want me to tell you it?” he asked. Neimi’s grip on her bow tightened. “I… suppose? It’s not… scary, is it?”
Colm shrugged. “Eh. A little. Its ab-”
“S-Stop! Stop right there!” Neimi blurted out. “A scary story is the last thing I need to hear right now!” She quickly turned on her heel and started to walk off, directly into a particularly thick segment of fog. She only now noticed just how loudly the floorboards were creaking and how the shadows cast by the wall-mounted candles danced to form all sorts of terrible things just in her peripheral vision and how-
She hurriedly walked back to Colm. Listening through the story was much more preferable then… whatever awaited her in the mist. Besides, she wanted to stick with him. “…Okay, fine, tell me the story.” Neimi relented.
Colm snickered, and quickly went to grab a nearby torch on a wall, holding it directly under his face for extra spook factor. “So…”
“A long, long time ago, this fort used to be bustling with soldiers. It was the nosy well-secured point on all of Caer Pelyn. One evening, all the troops were preparing for a battle that would tale place in just a few days. They all went to bed, prepared. But, that very night, people say an enemy mage snuck in, and cursed one of the soldiers. He went mad, and started going on a rampage on his fellow army-men. They were all asleep, so they could do nothing to stop him. Some say that the sickening laugh the mad soldier cackled as he chopped down his fellow soldiers can still be heard echoing down the halls of this fort to this d-“
…wah-ha-ha…!
The same laugh that Colm described suddendly boomed down the hall behind them, leaving the archer holding her bow in a white-knuckle death grip as she resisted the urge to scream. She looked behind her swiftly, to see that (mercifully) there was nothing behind her, just a hall. She angrily turned back to Colm.
“V-very funny, Colm! You probably got… Lute or someone to go down there and do that laugh when… you…” The argument died on Neimi’s lips as she saw that Colm had practically gone pale, any sense of playfulness that was there before completely absent from his face.
“I… that wasn’t…” Colm started as he took a wary step towards where the laugh had came from. He heard.. something, and quickly grabbed Neimi’s hand, desperate for some sort of comfort.
Neimi squeezed it as she leaned towards the opening in the hall, attempting to get a better look.
On the wall beyond them danced a shadow, likely illuminated by a torch further down, raising an axe. They both decided to flee before finding out who was holding said axe, sprinting towards the fort entrance as quickly as their feet would allow them.
———————————————————
“GWAH-HA-HA!” Dozla boomed as he swung his axe down directly onto a revenant’s head, causing it to roll across the floor like a bowling ball. His axe collided on the floor below with a resonating SHHING.
L’Arachel clapped furiously at the sight. “Oh, wonderful show, Dozla! That’s one more beast vanquished from this world!”
Dozla lifted his ace back up with a huff. “Its almost a shame, Lady L’Arachel. These beasts are hardly worth the effort. They fall to a single axe swing! What a waste!”
L’Arachel nodded solemnly. “I understand, Dozla. But regardless of how weak they are, we must clear every abomination from this place! It is our-“
She was cut off by… some sort of sound. Was it… screaming? She quickly looked towards Dozla, who looked just as surprised. Just as soon as they noticed it, it was followed by hurried footsteps, away from them. L’Arachel looked to Dozla, confused.
“You… heard that too, didn’t you?” L’Arachel questioned. Dozla nodded. “Who in blazes would wander into a place like this, though…?” He questioned.
L’Arachel waved dismissively. “Well, whoever they are, hopefully they realized how dangerous it is here and scurried off.” She excitedly pointed to a skeleton behind Dozla, who looked rather frightened upon being noticed, after seeing what had befallen their undead partner. “Ooh, get that one next, Dozla! Show them no mercy!”
“Gwah-ha-ha! Whatever you ask of me, Lady L’Arachel, I shall do!” Dozla laughed heartily as he charged toward the skeleton, who was now sorely regretting clawing out of the ground this morning.
If I brought Colm and Neimi into this map this would be so canon.
I love Colm being the mischievous big brother it’s so cute

hii! i know you probably don’t want to here about this any longer, so I’ll try keep my message short it probably won’t be short..
fanfic writers should be able to create whatever kind of story they want to and should be able to post it without getting criticized or constantly being demanded for more or for smut or for ‘better’ or wtv tf.
you’re doing a great job and i love all of your works so much 💗 you truly are a god at writing any genre wether it be angst, fluff, or smut, it’s just all really amazing and you put a lot of thought and effort into it. i’ve only read the first 2 chapters of your recent series, and so far it is sooo good! it’s got me hooked and i can’t wait to read more when i have the time. i just love dad!spence 😭
you do not owe anyone anything, the right people will find you and support you and some of those people already have. it’s upsetting to see that those mean people have gotten to you..
don’t feel pressured to write smut for a certain fic if that’s not what your feeling just because it’s what other people want. it’s your story, you are allowed to take it in whatever direction you want. this fandom can be a little bit much (a lot bit much) at times..
if you never write for CM ever again, i totally understand, but just so y’know i think you are the literal best at characterizing all the characters so accurately, and that goes for every character you’ve wrote for not just CM ones.
sorry if this all just sounds like gibberish to you, it’s really late where i am, i forgot half of what i wanted to say, and i’m not the best with words 😭 anyways.. i hope you have a wonderful day/night Sunny! take care 🫶
thank you so much for this really kind message! it does mean a lot to me that if I receive a few negative messages, there is an outpouring of support and love - sometimes even if there is bad, the good people can outweigh it and really remind me why I started posting fics in the first place <3
I don't know if I will ever write for CM again - after I wrote Burn The Witch in 2021, I swore off writing for Criminal Minds completely, but then I watched the show again and fanfic ideas started crawling around inside my brain and I could help it. so it might be one of those things where I tell myself that I am never going to write for CM ever again, but then - I just can't help what kind of ideas my brain leads me too. But I do know for certain that I am going to need a very long, extended break from the fandom.
anyway - thank you so much for your kind words <3 messages like this really do mean a lot to me and I am thankful that you have taken the time to write me a message like this. I will look back on this when I'm feeling down

Irene and Wall for the character ask?
Thank you for the ask!! Two of my favorite guys ever!! This ended up being really long...
Irene:
favorite thing about them:
Just her <33 She’s like my favorite person. Sorry real life friends, Irene is my best friend and has been since I was twelve years old.
Really though, I actually enjoy her part of the story (ignoring the sequel). I love that she’s a weird old lady who invented dragon slayers and lives in a castle across the ocean from her daughter that she just assumes is dead. Fuckin amazing. She’s flirty. She’s really hot and she knows it. She’s traumatized as hell. Good for her.
least favorite thing about them:
This kinda goes for every woman in Fairy Tail, but I hate that she’s used for fanservice, especially in the sequel, but also how they changed some scenes in the anime to showcase her massive tits. Like really?? She’s better than this. Let her wear clothes. Please.
Also, I really love super overpowered characters, but for a lot of Irene’s attacks, pure plot armor was used to beat her. Like why is she able to summon a meteor? That part is so dumb. Just let her be an enchantress. It just feels weirdly inconsistent to show that she’s powerful. We already know she’s powerful. Whatever. I’m salty.
favorite line:
Irene says some absolutely batshit stuff but I may have to go with this one. I like how sarcastic it is. She’s such an asshole (affectionate).
Tumblr media
Also fun fact: they forgot to color the collar of her top in this panel!
brOTP:
Irene and Bloodman!! I know they don’t interact at all in canon but I love that they’re on the same team during the war. It sparked something within me. They’re both super old and have to put up with Zeref’s bullshit and would bond over that. <3
OTP:
Irene x Anna! They’re old and traumatized and totally knew each other 400 years ago. Also, Irene is a lesbian so I like it a lot better than Irene x Zeref or Irene x Acnologia.
nOTP:
Ehhhh Irene x Acnologia gives me bad vibes… I understand the appeal I guess? She created dragon slayers to help the dragons and he became a dragon slayer and killed all of them. But MAN is it toxic. They both deserve better.
random headcanon:
I think I’ve said this one before but she watches so much shitty reality TV. Like the dating shows where people are on an island and have sex and there’s drama for no reason. She loves that stuff. She makes fun of it daily.
unpopular opinion:
She shouldn’t have been back in the sequel…. I love Irene. So much. But she really didn’t add anything meaningful and didn’t need the ending they gave her. It was just really dissatisfying in my opinion. I feel like a lot of people didn’t mind her being back, but it really doesn’t make sense.
song i associate with them:
Never Love an Anchor by the Crane Wives thanks to @pencilofawesomeness ‘s post here (it’s so cool!! I hope you don’t mind the tag)
favorite picture of them:
She is SO PRETTY but also so silly and I’m struggling to pick just one…
Tumblr media
But probably this one :)
-
Wall:
favorite thing about them:
I love their silly little personality. I enjoy deranged little guys in general but I like that he has a weird lawyer thing going on. He says “indeed” a lot and stuff like “case dismissed” and it’s so funny. Their title is the adjudicator. Why is he a lawyer??? And the best part is he can rewrite his own personality. So he wrote himself to be this way. That’s amazing. Go little funky robot guy go!!
least favorite thing about them:
I feel like Wall was really doomed by the narrative. He should have had so much more screen time. He just has so much potential. Why introduce a species of robot people as well as alchemy just to kill the guy off? It just makes me sad because they’re so fun.
favorite line:
Tumblr media
This is just so badass
brOTP:
Wall and Dimaria are menaces <3 I love that they tease each other in canon and they definitely spar in their free time. Everyone hates it when they’re together because they’ll just gang up on people and make fun of them. It’s great.
OTP:
I don’t think I ship Wall with anyone… they give me aroace vibes.
nOTp:
I think some people ship him with Neinhart? That’s kinda weird in my opinion. Don’t they hate each other? I dunno, it just feels wrong. Besides, Neinhart is too stupid to get any bitches. (Full offense to Neinhart.)
random headcanon:
He was broken out of jail by the empire and that’s why his outfit kinda looks like a prison jumpsuit.
unpopular opinion:
I don’t think I’ve seen enough people complaining about red lightning but it should not have killed Wall. Lightning is lightning regardless of color or strength or whatever. I would have much preferred Wall die by being outsmarted. I also really hate Laxus fighting Wall at all… I think it would have been so much cooler to give the Thunder Legion a better fight against them! Anyway, I don’t know how unpopular that is, but it’s all I have right now.
song i associate with them:
Hmm… I can’t really think of one right now. I’ll update this if I remember anything though.
favorite picture of them:
Tumblr media
This one’s pretty rad :D (Or the one I used for his quote)

20 questions for fic authors
i saw ur tag in the morning when i woke up nessa and then i completely forgot. BUT THANK U FOR THINKING OF ME!!!! i don't really want to tag anyone bc its a bit scary. but eros and duo if u see this... perhaps this might interest u to do it
1. How many fics do you have on ao3?
46 ! and maybe like 20 which existed on ao3 at some point but got deleted by oj for one reason or another.
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
96 365... the oj does not write long things
3. What fandoms do you write for?
mostly project moon these days. and mostly limbus bc (inferno pink grabs me by the throat)
if i didnt feel like it was pointless id probably write for a larger variety of stuff bc the oj brain is full of self insert stuff. but it doesnt rly matter
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
the wine on your skin (137) gonna shrimp myself over that one bc it was my first and probably shittiest smut. but its smut in a large fandom (fire emblem) so it attracted people i guess
yeah dante's fine. what do you mean they're at -45 sanity you're lying (132) IM GLAD PEOPLE LIKED THAT ONE it was a lot of fun. and nice people cared about a dante centric fic with abnos:) (but also still mad as hell over that thing with the guy taking one of the concepts and clearly saying it was from another fic while categorically refusing to actually name it lol)
do NOT wake the manager up. YES they fell asleep on the job but they're REAL comfy right now do NOT disturb them (117) i can't tell if people get attracted by the funny titles or bc they see there are more characters besides faust and dante. bc i know people are NOT coming for them.
i'll always be there (104) a short manuleth fic... im glad there are manuleth likers out there. that professor loves that doctor ok
and they'll fall in love with her again and again (88) people liked the exploration of IDs... its kinda debunked now but it was still fun
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I USUALLY DO unless i find the comment weird. but if its rly weird i usually straight up delete it lol but otherwise i reply to comment if only to thank people for taking the time to leave one. its a tough world out there for attention starved writer
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
id argue the angstiest i have is one of my deleted ones where i straight up killed a char and the fic was all about everyone else's grief it was depressing lol otherwise theres the obvious silver snow edeleth angst but its kinda whatever. the backward clock chapter of the dante abnos fic was rly good imo. the nothing there one too. the inferno pink confession fic too.... ough...
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
SCORCHED GIRL & ANGELA FIC GOT ME FUCKED UP MAN. FOUND FAMILY BETWEEN THE FUCKED UP LITTLE GIRL AND THE ANDROID
8. Do you get hate on fics?
nah. thank god i dont i think id nuke my ao3 on the spot i already explode over weird comment
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i smack my faust and dante dolls together
i used the be rly scared of smut now im a free little oj. it gets horny sometimes but also im rly vanilla so its usually very sweet.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
i dont. i should sometime though.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW I THINK ID NEVER WRITE AGAIN OTHERWISE
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
nay
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no and i dont think i could oj needs to write her thing in peace. art&fic stuff are rly fun though.. oj likes when duo art inspires her or oj text inspires duo...
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
ALL TIME IS A TOUGHIE the ships come and go guys cmon. rn inferno pink is all the rage though. and me with all the ladies i like
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
funnily enough i dont rly have wips bc i only start things when im REALLY motivated and i usually dont write things long enough that id drop them mid way. so none
16. What's your writing strengths?
being straight to the point maybe. idk. i mean my whole style is about short sentences and descriptions and just giving enough to get the feelings and vibes and idk. like i dont spend a paragraph talking about the weather thats not my style.
i like to think im good at sounding like chars too. if its the chars i like at least. or i hope at least. maybe its all in my head.
17. What's your writing weaknesses?
im rly bad at writing things that require more description... stuff that i cant just move on from or write by sprinkling lil actions between dialogues... like say. a fight scene. im rly bad at it
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
i mean if the char actually speaks in another language usually and mixes it with the translated language or whatever sure. itd make sense i have no issue with it
19. First fandom you wrote for?
long ago i wrote stuff for shin megami tensei 4. but i think even before that i wrote lil danganronpa drabbles that never got posted anywhere. also technically i wrote a story about vocaloids for an english assignment in middle school. does that count
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
idk if its a favorite but im like. rly fond of "hello doctor, it's me again. i missed you." bc its the fic i probably put the most effort in. longest and multi chapters and like. id started writing it two years prior to when i finished it and id written like. a chapter and a half on paper during breaks in college and never did anything with it. and two years later when i was sorting my stuff i had these papers and wanted to throw them away so i was like ill type this out on puter at least before that. and then i ended up motivating myself to finish it and i was rly proud of it... oj is still rly sad it didnt get that much attention in the end.
otherwise oj rly likes her angela & abno fics:) shes happy with them. and also stuff ive written for duo! i think its cute and i had a lot of fun with them

I wrote most of this like, several months ago but didn't feel comfortable posting for a lot of reasons, but most those reasons are kinda irrational tbh and it's Fuck It We Ball Friday so I'm finishing it. I'm probably gonna want to private it at some point but like I refuse to, I will not do it, if I do I'm yelling at myself.
I miss my old friends :'(
Tumblr media
I mean I technically can, and sometimes do still talk to a lot of them, I haven't completely lost contact with all of them but like, I still don't talk to them nearly as much as I used to. To be fair a lot of the reason for that is entirely my fault, I'm literally in a Discord server with a majority of my old friends from RFCK but like, I rarely talk there because I (completely irrationally) feel weird trying to reconnect with them again after such a long period of going pretty much completely silent for like 2+ years.
I have WAY too many detailed memories of really specific moments and things from RFCK, like the time when I yelled at Happy for gambling and then got smited by god (Callum) after a nearly 2 hour long standoff. Or the 6.6 Lunchatons which were the biggest, most impactful events to ever happen in the entire server of course of course. Also I'm still the most based judge (I would NEVER be biased) and I would still gladly send any wretched bean enjoyers to prison for eternity (ew gross). Downtown bombing... ngl it was kinda overblown like it was kinda epic and funny. Kevin Race... :)
It's crazy because I don't really remember a lot of my life beyond a few years ago (for several reasons, likely little of which is due to actually having poor memory), so while I do have some memories from my early life, they're pretty sparse and vague. At this point a majority of my older memories that I've actually still retained are from RFCK, so despite it really only being like, a 2 year period of my life, it feels like one of the biggest, most impactful parts of my life.
I don't really have any plans to use my old OC for anything again, I feel like it's too connected with RFCK in my memories to ever use it for anything outside of Endless War, which tbh is kinda a shame because I still really like it, but like, I can just design a new OC :).
Tumblr media
Hey guys, DigiGurren MLP here, uhhh I forgot the rest of my own copypasta but hey guys it's me DigiGurren MLP!
I-I-I missed, I missed Cool Duck's Bible Study session, I'm so sorry Cool Duck I'll never make it into Cool Duck heaven now 😢
Tumblr media
Slime-Jim my beloved <3
I could probably make like 50 more posts of me just rambling on about random shit from RFCK because it's genuinely some of my best memories of my entire life and I remember way too many random obscure details and moments. But like, I probably won't, I may at some point make another post if I'm feeling particularly nostalgic over something specific from RFCK, but I think in general I'd prefer to keep it relatively separated from this blog, and I also don't want to constantly dwell on my memories of it, I already did that enough a few years ago.
Tumblr media
Yea I make a background cameo in an official Chris-Chan comic, yea that fact does make me want to rot in a hole.
Discord based text based mmorpg playable entirely within your discord browser or whatever the marketing line was i kinda forgot it. I didn't forget the server link tho, I don't think mtSRXek will ever leave my head at this point, those letters have just melded with my subconscious.
Tumblr media
Honestly if I had been the person I am now when I had joined the server 5 years ago, I probably wouldn't really like it that much, in hindsight there's a lot of stuff that went on that I was not really the biggest fan of, but I think it was overall balanced out by all the fun stuff, and I am 100% certain that I would be a significantly worse person today without it, assuming I would even be alive still had I not had such a great community at that time.
ALSO YOU FUCKERS (partially) MADE ME TRANS IT'S YOUR FAULTS (and also Umineko's fault)!!! FRICK YOU I HATE YOU ALL LICHERALLY DIE! got hit by one too many trans-beams and caught 3 too many trans breams le sigh 😔

Hi! I hope you're doing well. I will try working on my goodreads account again soon. I already have one but just forgot about it for some reason. But maybe it will help me to remember which books I started and never finished. I probably won't really write reviews or anything though. I didn't really need it cuz I mostly just browse on there and can look up book reviews without it . Then I thought it might pressure me or remind me I'm not reading enough which can be good or bad. I did the same thing with my Letterboxed account and just abandoned it..probably cuz I watch a lot of movies that are whatever to me most of the time or I just forget to update it lol. Anyway I read a snippet of the Starless Sea and am intrigued, although I probably won't get to read it until March at this point. I think it will be ongoing honestly..I know I said I was trying to focus on two books a month but we will see lol since I am always adding other books to my list. Thanks for the triggers of everything I never told you..I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So..I ended up seeing Mean Girls on Sunday. I also saw Wonka. It was kinda last minute but I'm glad I was able to go. I saw Wonka first and thought it was fine. I liked it generally but it also didn't feel like Wonka exactly? Parts of it still did..but I guess maybe I didn't know what to expect. I would've liked more with his chocolate making or the oompa loompa. But the songs were fine..except for Timmy being auto tuned was noticeable but I mostly accepted that. It seems like people like it or it wouldn't still be in theaters. Like the Color Purple unfortunately wasn't even showing at my theater so I don't even know when I'll watch it. My sister and I agreed that we would have liked it more when or if we were younger and it also felt kinda long.
I generally agree with your friends about Mean Girls..which was also just fine for me. I think her singing is fine but it's the same as most people who can just barely get by with singing. The songs are more pop so it kinda makes sense but you're mostly right. I mean..I think she looks the part of Cady and an average girl so maybe that explains it..idk. wasn't expecting much but I am also not as familiar with the musical as others might be. So sometimes I would think..was that changed or is that just something in the musical. Like I couldn't exactly remember how they explain Janis and Reginas fight in the musical so that was one example. There's also more focus on social media/Tiktok stuff that didn't really appeal to me and some songs just didn't translate on screen as much..I think Stupid With Love is the most obvious example which might have been the case anyway even if it's bad. Another one is What's wrong with me. The best ones on screen to me were World Burn, Someone Gets Hurt and I guess Apex Predator. The new song just sounds like a normal pop song to me and Renee says she wrote it but it didn't add anything different so I don't know why they changed it. I don't remember the original song that much but it's probably better than this. To be fair, they tried to get most of the songs to sound like pop songs..like with Rather Be Me or Sexy. At one point watching, I felt like it was almost nothing like Mean Girls, mainly cuz there wasn't that much meanness in the movie at all..like it felt like any generic high school movie. Maybe that makes sense and I'm too familiar with the film..which is not like high school at all. There's also not enough drama to me..idk if it was the actors or just how it was..like the part when Aaron runs out of gets annoyed with her then Janis does too..but like it wasn't a big deal. They also didn't spend a lot of time on her downfall/the bus thing..I don't remember these parts much in the musical either though. They also made Aaron more of the focus of everything Cady did..it felt like. Like a lyric would be about don't you wanna be with Aaron..instead of getting revenge for Janis or something, but could just be the musical. So I guess it was just a weird mix and mostly fine. It didn't exactly disappoint me but i am also not as familiar with the musical. I thought Renee, Jaquel and Auhlili were mostly great though. I don't feel a need to watch it again but its still a fun movie, but I understand the problems most people have with it too. I honestly don't know which movie I liked better cuz both were just okay to me. It's been a few days so maybe I forgot something else and the review isn't perfect. In other musical/Broadway news, I saw that Gatsby is going to Broadway so hopefully they made some changes. Also Corey Cott I guess and I read that Lola from the summer I turned pretty is going to be Eurydice? What do you think? I should watch the summer I turned pretty soon..maybe he is better in that than Mean Girls.
I'm generally not big on any covers and especially Taylor songs so idk! I don't think it would be a specific album, but all of these artists I would like to see.. i'm just not sure about the song. Now that we have Fall Out Boy and Hayley features..it seems like we don't need it. Same with Phoebe on Nothing New. But I could see Paramore doing a song like Haunted honestly. I'm not sure about Fall Out Boy. Somebody pointed out that you were the sunshine of my lifetime is pretty similar to he was Sunshine from Midnight Rain, lyrically at least. Idk how a cover by them would sound though lol. We also said Patrick's voice would be good on I can see you. Noah Kahan could do something from Folklore or Evermore. Idk why Cowboy Like Me comes to mind but we have already heard Marcus Mumford do a full cover of that. I also saw someone recently say Stick Season is the other side of Tis the Damn Season..also just lyrically, but I could see him do a cover of it. I think it makes more sense than Dorothea honestly. There's a song by the band Movements called AMP with the lyrics everybody wants you that makes me think of Gold Rush so a cover by them has crossed my mind before but idk how the high parts would sound lol. Soccer Mommy has already covered a Taylor song which is great..I could see Our Song or Teardrops instead of I'm only me when I'm with you though. TOP is kinda hard..they have different styles but I once joked I could hear him covering ATW10 cuz of the piano. For their other stuff, something from rep like IDSB or maybe Delicate..or even New Years Day cuz they mostly have piano closers. I can hear the 1975 singing Antihero so maybe that? what about you?
Oh wow..well with twenty one pilots, they have different styles and a lot of people recommend to start with their popular stuff first..which is the Blurryface album. But I think Vessel is good cuz it shows how the band mostly is and combines some of their styles. The first song I heard was Holding on to you and is a good example of this. But their first album is mostly just piano and slower songs which other people find boring, but it still has some of my favorite songs on it. People think Trench is the best and cohesive album but it just depends on the music you like. You could always go by my Taylor comparisons too but idk if it will help lol. I hope you have a nice weekend since I probably won't reply until after then. Thanks for the love/good vibes!!!
hi hi!! feel free to add me on goodreads once you have it all set up 🤍 i don't really write reviews on there but i do on my book blog, and sometimes i'll share them on my instagram! sometimes i do quick little one liners though, it's all fun! i am so bad at keeping up with letterboxd too, don't worry! i haven't actually watched any movies in full this year, so i don't have to feel bad about being bad at letterboxd but i'm going to try to be better about tracking movies too!
i have actually never seen or read wonka! but i vaguely know what it's about! so your thoughts were really fun to read :) and mean girls is interesting haha! i had a friend who went and loved it and said it was fun; i have friends who absolutely hated it. i think if i had seen the movie then listened to the soundtrack i might have different thoughts? my entire tiktok FYP right now is people comparing erika henningsen's stupid with love and angourie rice's, which is just sad :( she doesn't deserve it (even if i really, really, really prefer erika's haha). i've heard that renee, auli'i and jaquel are the highlights too!! i saw that about gatsby (but have also seen a lot of people shade it and say it's not ready, so we'll just see what happens when it opens, i guess!! i don't know much about the heart of rock and roll! it feels like a lot of shows are squeezing in spring openings (for tony awards stuff, probably) and i'm struggling to keep track! but i'm excited. i listened to the how to dance in ohio cast recording the other day since it just came out and my friend loves it and it was fun! i really liked a few songs on it. lola tung and the summer i turned pretty are fun! i just wonder if she'll be able to sustain eurydice 8x/week, and haven't really heard her sing anything musical theatre-y, but i'm keeping an open mind!
i think it'd be really cool to see paramore do haunted — or maybe we are never ever getting back together? but i think it'd also be fun if they did a 180 with some of her songs on like, folklore or evermore. just like completely change it up so it sounds more like them, in the same way taylor made her cover of untouchable sound so different haha! noah kahan on cowboy like me would be so good — and i saw the tis the damn season/stick season post you're talking about, i'd love that too! i think it'd be fun for either sam fender to do something on evermore too. and personally i'd love it if holly covered something, like come in with the rain or something! just for fun, and because rain / etc. reminds me of paint my bedroom black. andddd i think the japanese house has a very specific sound that would be fun to replicate for taylor songs, etc. have you heard maggie rogers' cover of tim mcgraw too? it's stunning. and the 1975 almost covered lover for the bbc live lounge, fun fact! i think about that all the time; i'd love to know how they'd change it up, and of course, i think about what slut tv (ft. the 1975) could've been. obviously, taylor did the city + antihero at the o2, so now i'm trying to think what the 1975 song would be fun for them to do in reverse. i know matty loves hey stephen, so that could be neat?
hope you're having a good weekend! sorry for the late reply / shorter reply this time — slipped on ice and hurt my arm/shoulder, so i haven't been typing too much lately!! 🤍 hope things are good with you + sending love!

Ladies Don't Write Music - 7th November - update
I'm writing this on 8th November, because yesterday was a really hard day (one of the most persistent bad backs of my life, and I know I'm likely to have a lot more) and I barely had the energy to write my target, let alone blog about it.
Luckily, I managed to find the minutes awake to get there, but then I had to go straight to sleep. My eyes were closing as I wrote the last sentences. 1,749 words, though!
The other night, I wrote until I was so tired that I completely forgot to put my keyboard on my bedside table, and then woke myself up at about 2am, turning over and knocking the keyboard to the ground. Not my finest life decision, but not the worst thing that's happened to my keyboard, either. (I did accidentally wrench a key off it on a train across the country once, and couldn't fix it until I was home. Somehow I managed to keep all the parts safe, and find a tutorial for mending it.)
In the end, last night, I wrote 1,749 words (my slowest day so far this month), but brought my NaNoWriMo total up to 14,161 (and my manuscript total up to 49,070 - so nearly novel length!).
What I'm actually proudest of, though, is that I thought to check my chapter plan, and noticed that I've actually been writing Chapter 10 since Sunday afternoon, not still working on Chapter 9, as I thought. The gargantuan section (where I planned to focus only on the plot, and then all the subplots came to the fore at once) is finally done! I'd been working on it since 9th October, and it took until 5th November! It's ultimately only 18,100 words long (I'll be cutting it into four or five chapters, I think), not the over 22k I was worrying about when I started writing yesterday.
Time for a celebratory excerpt, before a sprint to start my day before work.
A very young woman - sixteen or so - hurried across the ballroom towards Johann, and immediately swatted his chest with the back of her hand. “What were you thinking?” she snapped, “That wasn’t the way to make people stop talking--” She semed to notice me for the first time, and stopped talking suddenly. “Hello,” she said, “You must be the infamous Fräulein Schmidt.” I grimaced. “I’d rather not be known by that name, if that’s all the same to you.” She looked me up and down, and nodded. “Fräulein Schmidt, then,” she said, “They say a little notoriety can be good for the desirability. I’m not quite sure that applies in this situation, or you would surely have a flock of gentlemen asking for your hand this very minute.” “Louisa!” Johann scolded her, “This isn’t something to joke about! Fräulein Schmidt has been badly wronged, and I’ve had no small part in that. Look, she and I have been asked to leave the party. I’m really sorry, but you know Mama and Papa have said we must come home together. We have to leave, and you have to come with us.” Louisa groaned, crestfallen. “Are you joking?” she exclaimed, “For goodness’ sake!” She nodded at me, and then jerked her head in Johann’s direction. “Do you have a brother? she asked me. I nodded. “Hans.” “Well, whatever you do, don’t let him become famous. Having a brother who is as sought after as Johann is, is not the asset you might think. When every young lady wants his attention, things go wrong quickly.” “Louisa…” Johann said, “Fräulein Schmidt’s brother… is called Hans.” Louisa frowned. And then she looked at me. “Wait. Hans Schmidt. The composer?” “And Katharina is a famous composer in her own right,” Johann added, “She knows a little more about fame than you might think. And she’s probably met her fair share of notorious people. Haven’t you, Fräulein Schmidt?” I tucked my chin down, and looked up at the ceiling.”I have some idea, yes,” I mumbled.
If you read previous drafts of "Violins and Violets", you might remember Louisa as an adult with several children of her own. Here, we see her before all that, and I'm excited to say that she's going to feature in "Ladies Don't Write Music," and we're already seeing a side of Johann that might make him quite attractive (in a platonic sense) to Katharina... might he be the answer to her problems?
