regarding. . . jacob black + obsessive compulsive disorder.
as you’d expect, control is a big aspect of any werewolf’s personality. it’s borderline essential to most werewolf characteristics if one wants to interact cohesively with the rest of the world. however, jacob handles his own sudden, un - anticipated lycanthropy with far less grace than most others he knows. overnight, jacob’s entire life is turned upon its head without his consent, accompanied by the trauma of his first shift and what it means to be a werewolf at all, the cushion to all of it is a man he’d been so suspicious of, pulling friends and acquaintances bit by bit away from their previous lives until they’re no longer familiar. it’s a lot, on top of the everyday stresses that come with his life already, as well as his more recent investment in helping bella cope with her own demons along the way. his life is suddenly dangerous and unfamiliar in every place he needs it to feel safe and secure. his actions themselves and even his own feelings are suddenly so untethered from the person he spent all his life becoming, they barely feel like his anymore.
there are two main components to most anxiety disorders. the given anxiety itself ; specifically, the initial process of something causing distressing, persistent anxiety, and then often the resulting dysfunctional behaviors that reduce the anxiety. ocd itself can have noteworthy ‘ types ’ : cleaning and contamination, symmetry and ordering, forbidden or harmful thoughts and impulses, and hoarding. because jacob’s symptoms lie most in the ordering and thoughts / impulses category, i will only be going over these two in this headcanon.
ordering : a big part of jacob’s anxiety is over control, moreover the lack of it. the feeling that he does not belong to himself. his thoughts and feelings are shared with an entire pack of other people when he’s a wolf. his future partner is borderline, if not entirely guaranteed, to be someone he won’t get to choose, but instead his brain will choose for him, which in of itself isn’t nearly as terrifying as the prospect that he won’t even be able to choose for himself how he gets to feel about it, that even his right to forming his own thoughts will be robbed of him. shifting into a creature that’s just as powerful as it is deadly is something that can happen to him at the drop of a hat, at any moment, as long as his emotions behave even remotely in their own accord, which, is how emotions tend to work.
this is one of jacob’s obsessions, and what helps to reduce this is to meticulously keep track of and control what he needs to believe is his. naturally, this means most of this meticulousness is reserved for his own things ; his room, his belongings, his clothes, his hair. everything has to be a certain way now, because in everything he does, there's now a desperate need to keep hold of it, a compensation to the thought that he's going to lose it all. everything in his room and garage has it’s place, deliberate and intentional to the point that if someone touches or grabs at one of his things, even if it’s to simply look and set back down, his anxiety spikes and he will one hundred percent hover, escalating - ly irritable until he can personally return it to it’s rightful spot. another habit to reduce this feeling is being deliberate and habitual with his own body. routines like morning jogs, or the time in which he showers or wakes up, are opportunities to own his own physical actions. if outside any of specific routine of his, counting his own steps is an accessible method to achieve the same sense of security within his own actions. brushing or braiding his hair is also helpful and another reason why he doesn’t want it cut, as well as the permeating desire to remain as himself as he was before he was a werewolf.
thoughts and impulses : this one’s honestly the doozy of the two. actions are worrisome and the impulse part of the two, but the idea that his own thoughts aren’t his is foundationally distressing to his sense of autonomy. with being part animal comes the instincts of one— the instincts of a predator at that ; to hunt, to prioritize and optimize survival, to respond to fear with violent self defense or complete concession, to obtain security through physical feats. most of these behaviors are a direct contrast to his personality before his first shift. the person he thought he was and wanted to be was generous, thoughtful, nurturing, warm, to fix things and to thrive, to do things just because, no personal survival or reward necessary, no need to compete in the ongoing power struggle of nature. that’s not to say wolves don’t participate in any of these qualities— in fact, jacob knows real wolves’ behaviors aren’t that black and white or brutal. [ funnily enough, this fear - fueled black and white thinking can be more alike to the animal instincts he’s desperately trying to avoid ] it’s the anxiety of the shift itself being something he doesn’t get a say in, that it’s completely at the whim of fickle, moment to moment, fluid and irrational emotions. that anxiety only ever snowballs any stress he might already feel that could prompt a shift. anger that would otherwise be fleeting becomes fear that his mind can’t stop obsessing over until he can soothe it somehow, assure him that he is in control, and that he won’t hurt anyone unless he himself decides to.
unfortunately, one of the quickest and easiest ways to stop a shift is pain. intense pain interrupts the self defense mechanism of shifting to prioritize the healing process instead. if ever jacob feels like he’s genuinely on the verge of an unintentional shift, the quick snap of an arm over his knee or clamp of the jaws into his hand is usually enough to short - circuit the process, moreso if the shift has already come and gone before he could stop it. pain becomes soothing, an act he feels the benefit of choosing, as well as controlling a shift and ensuring that if someone is to suffer for his lack of control, it will be him alone, and it will be his decision. another far less damaging coping method is to just. . . ask someone for help. this is rather simple, but it requires far more patience and awareness than breaking his own bones, as well as admitting out loud to others something he’s deemed a moral failing of his, a personal defect. even just asking someone to remind him who he was is can be grounding, which is something he would have learned the moment bella responded to the voicing of his fear of losing himself with reassurance that he just wouldn’t, that she’d be there to remind him, whenever he needed, that she simply wouldn’t let it happen. that confidence in ones own ability is something he envies as well as hopes to believe in, even if it’s childish, even if it’s vicariously through whoever gives it, if he trusts them enough for it to mean something to him. group activities that engage his sense of self before monsters existed offer a dual calm, one instilled by doing the activity itself, another by having someone else to verify and confirm his own behavior to him just by being there to respond to the familiar, human jacob that always existed before he ever had a reason to question it.
a tragic irony is that when jacob is a wolf, most of these anxieties evaporate immediately and get replaced with a simpler experience of reality. instincts sharpen the world, narrow it to focus, refine actions and reactions to the present moment in which fear is much harder to conceive, as fear by nature is based on theoretical what - ifs. eventually, a healthier way to experience his own lycanthropy would be to accept all aspects of himself, both human and wolf, but with the entire invasion of the supernatural into his life so fresh, he’s desperate to cling to his own personhood, which is very much steeped in the version of him that didn’t even know werewolves existed, much less that he was one and what it means.
there’s no room to learn what kind of werewolf jacob black wants to be when he doesn’t feel like that’s something he ever got to choose, or ever will. and so, it remains something to fear, which means it remains something he cannot control.
#study. . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽⠀:⠀jacob black#have a two year old headcanon i guess!#cause i'm moving him over here god bless#i need to re - post his divergencies because i am very much anti s - meyer thank youu but#it's mostly the werewolf lore tbh#it's just regular ass lycanthropy like most werewolf media portrays and has NO link to the quileute tribe#jacob is very much quileute but his werewolfism is entirely separate and something that can happen to anybody were they#a.) bitten or b.) either of their parents were werewolves hereditarily or contractually#jacob inherited it from his mother who was born a werewolf from her own parents#i need to flesh it out more but her father was who she got it from who was Also born that way instead of being bitten#this is why jacob's transformation is a surprise to him as it's a recessive gene at that point and none of his siblings got it#a surprise to both him and his family since he's the youngest and his dad truly thought at that point the family gene died with his wife#ANYWAY....... may or may not remove him again cause i truly hate miss meyer lmao but#i've got too many mutuals w twilight muses i wanna play barbie w you....#ask to tag //#self harm //

LU HEADCANNONS FOR EACH OF THE BOIS
ALPHABETICAL ORDER
Four
Looks at his feet ALL THE TIME while walking, he doesn’t wanna step on a minish. Speaking of which, aside from Legend, is the only one fluent in more than one language because he knows the picori language
His hair looks brushed? Nah, it’s not. He tried brushing it and it always gets tangled, but the knots are just so fine it doesn’t even look like it’s tangled, so he only brushes the top layer of his hair.
Hyrule
Keeps the peace. One of the only reasons that the chain isn’t at each others throats. Part of the reason is that he doesn’t know what half of these debates is about, but is very good at making each side seem like he agrees with them, even though he’s confused.
Memorizes facts about everybody’s Hyrule to be prepared. Is VERY keen on being prepared. Even though he may come off as chaotic, he always has a plan for whatever will go wrong. Very much belives in murphey’s law.
Legend
ANGSTY GUY. Seems talkative but NEVER talks about what he truly thinks just talks because he feels the need to show people that he exists and is strong.
Claims that he hates children. Yet he will hug any baby he sees. Absolutely adores children if we are being honest. He even got Sky to teach him embroidery so he can embroid little blankets for babies 🥹
Sky
Hopeless romantic. He will wax poetry about Sun for 25 hours seven days a week if you let him. He shares literally everything he’s interested in with her.
He sometimes (this is so OOC but idc) sends post cards of him and Fi to LD-301S Scrapper to make him jealous. He absolutely hates that tiny robot.
Time
Cryptic. Will spill traumatizing memories of his past but will make them so cryptic that nobody will understand WHAT he’s saying.
(I think we can all agree) a father at heart. He knows eventually he will have to bid his goodbyes to the other 8 members of the chain but REALLLLY doesn’t wanna.
Twilight
Will eat table scraps
Is either REALLY good at getting women or REALLY bad, depends on where and when. Even though he is he regrets everyone because he’s still sad about Midna.
Family therapist. He knows everybodies problems and never shares them to anybody else, he’s always there for everyone.
Warriors
Even if he flirts with women, he never wants to date anyone. He’s still kinda… traumatized about Cia. He is more of a “take you out on a nice date but remains just friends” guy. He knows it may come off as toxic but he has best intentions.
He actually got his scarf enchanted by a great fairy. It as a defense boost and attack up. There is a reason he wears it, gotta be fashionable and practical.
Wild
LOADED, like 999,999 rupees. Because of this, for each era he goes to, he buys a yard of fabric for his home era. He will find use for it… some day.
As much as he and Flora are… alright together. He is still salty about her. He knows that she was struggling with finding her own destiny, but he still doesn’t like how he was treated.
Wind
Do NOT challenge him to any card game. At all. He will win he will take all your rupees and there is nothing you can do to stop him. And by the rare case that you DO beat him, he will pull the “young innocent baby boy” card which makes you want him to win and end up revoking your winner status.
A mischievous boy. Will poke people with his wind waker and finds it hilarious ever. Single. Time. The amount of times Wars literally had to hide it from him as he kept using the “control” power (idk what to call it) is uncountable. People would think that he taught Aryll all of this, but nope. Aryll was the one that taught him all those tricks. It runs in the family.
Ooohhhh these headcannons are so fun!!!
Fours little fairy knots in his hair is oddly adorable
Hyrule being the peacemaker instead of sky is really refreshing and I feel like more on oar for his character tbh!
Legend embroidering baby blankets has my heart MELLTIIINGGG😭❤️
Sky being a gremlin to Scrapper is also VERY true to his character. Sky is the best little piece of crap 🤣🤣
Time being SO cryptic hahaha and why shouldn't he be? It's so much more fun that way LOL.
Me feeding Twi all my scraps
Poor wars, Cia really is disgusting😠
Wild being rich🤣YES HAHA and they would be so shocked too lolol
Wind will BANKRUPT wild in a game of cards haha that would be a night to remember lol

Lu little details (1)
It’s the little details what make me hallucinate every single time there’s an update. Now, eventhough I may forget plenty of the ones I noticed while reading or thinking through (and some other I might have missed), I’m gonna try to list some of them.
Im going to focus more on reference-to-games details not little details about the dynamics between the group.
1. The first posts actually are full of references. Like really full. It would be endless to point out all of them. (Twilight and the soup, Legend and the seagulls, time being the one talking to the fairy, different views of the princess, Wind and the soup too, Twilight quoting Rusl (It’s not the only time), Legend thinking of “a separete world”) My favourite, probably, is Wind asking for Kaepora to repete what he had said. In this category I might add everything she took under consideration when decicing not just their personalities but also even their ages, and all the answers to some questions, being actually incredible the fact that Twi is ambidextrous (Tbh i don’t know what’s actually more impressive, the fact that jojo carefuly has in mind the dominant hand of each Link or the fact that someone, actually managed to notice Twilight would change hands) (Maybe I was not paying attention) (Now, I’m wondering if that drawing of Time shooting it was intentional. Because, if you look carefully, he is actually holding it like a right handed person would)
2. Wild not knowing about wallmasters. This is the most obvious and straight to the point one of the boys having lived in different Hyrules and having had different adventures, however, in the comics that follow the stroryline you can also get from what they say several times hints of this exact same thing. Anyway, my favourite example of this is Sky asking who Ganon was.
3. I would add here the different opinions of the Links on different matters (I’ve already mentioned the different views Hyrule and Wild have on the princess). Another example of this would be Wild and Wind “arguing” about Kings of Hyrule. It makes so much sense. (I’m not gonna go down that opinion/personlity lane, but it’s worth mentioning) And Twilight and Legend complaining about knights, all based on the game experiences.
4. That image of Twilight holding a puppy and Wild, completely unbothered, next to him. I really like that kind of sense of humour, and it’s a funny tiny irrelevant detail that I very much appreciate.
5. Warriors referencing his game. I think it’s happened three times. First, when they are talking and he hides himself from a lady and Hyrule laughs at him saying it’s the third time he’s done that, because being a lady’s man has already been proven as a danger .Second time, with the traitor little comic (I missed that one, ups). And third, while talking about the master sword and how “believing you are invencible” it’s a dangerous way of thinking. I know all Links actually make references to their respective games, but some other references feel more remarkable.
6. I almost forget about it. That conversation between Time and Wild about having entered Gerudo Town is another example of diference between the Links. It’s just that this one has a special place in my mind merely because I had never actually thought of that and it’s in fact wonderful how Wild reacts to hearing Time’s approach into granting himself respect and access to the town. Similar to this, due to the fact that it’s straight up linked to Wild, we have that scene where the gerudo outfit is descovered and he gets teased. (Fun fact; I had no actual clue that goron spice was actually a cooking item in botw until I red this. I had never shopped in the Goron City. And yeah, either I had already beaten Ganon or I was about to)
7. In Lon Lon Ranch, as expected, we also have several references. Being the most noticeable; Malon explaining Hyrule wht they keep sugar water bowls around, the couple’s mask hanging on the wall, or how sky loves cuccos. (A little also “innocent” one may be that Malon straight up mocks her husband’s nose? Being this a reference to the design of the hero of Time)
8. One that I also skipped (and very much love) is Twilight seeing some kind of resemblance between Time’s Captain’s hat and the Heroe’s Shade. We also see more Majora’s Mask references, being maybe the most obvious one Time saying: “Poor kid... He met a terrible fate”. Like, I can hear the Salesman’s laugh.
I`m gonna leave it here for now evethough there are plenty more nice details that show the attention to detail of this comics. However, maybe it’s better to divide this into more defined categories, such as the different games or even characters. And maybe, that way, I can stress how much I appreciate some of those, because, let me tell you that I could rant on about every single one of this nonstop, specially if it’s related to who they are as characters. There’s in my opinion just too many good things to say about this guys and how the whole group works.
(please, correct any spelling mistake. I’m not a native speaker)

Every month of 2023 ✨
Post your most popular and/or favorite edit/gifset for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)
thank you so much for tagging me zey [x] @smileytharn, mj [x] @forcebook, jessi [x] @daymork, and antania [x] @raypakorn ♥ it was so lovely to look through all of your creations! you've all worked hard during the past year and i hope i get to see more creations from all of you throughout this year ^^
-
i'm collecting my creations for each month under the cut but let's look at some fun statistics at first! (inspired by antania's post ♥)
i created 68 edits
additionally, there were 5 photo collabs (jimmysea photoshoots)
and 4 text post meme posts (for last twilight)
the most edits i made in may (due to our skyy 2 episodes)
most of my edits were related to vice versa (13 in total)
the second most popular ones were bad buddy (8 edits) and last twilight (10 edits)
most of my edits were either lovely/warm or angsty
i got deep into episode edits this year
and also took inspiration from other than poetry and lyrics
thank you so much for being part of all this!
January
my most popular edit was this vegaspete set i made for @spicyvampire ♥ i actually like it a ton! but my personal favorite from this month is my bad buddy characters + the real 5 love languages set. i like the meme a ton and i loved how the set turned out (+ for me, it's super funny).
February
my most popular edit this month was the toddblack differences edit i made for @i-got-the-feels ♥ it was a very different type of edit and i'm very happy ppl liked it this much. personal favorite is this jimmy(sea) set for the varitda mv he/they appeared in. i loved the aesthetic of the mv and i feel like i captured that very well.
March
the most popular edit in march was my akkayan + one direction piece dedicated to @fitfmybeloved ♥ i think i need to make something else with a similar style sometime. my favorites would be the puen & talay's top 10 outfits edits which technically happened in february and march. i had a ton of fun with them and i honestly adore looking at the results.
April
my birthday month! the most popular creation was my beyond evil edit which was interesting to make according to @nongnaos's request ♥ i had never edited this show (or any kdrama) before and i also struggled a bit with figuring out the layout. it's a very simple set but felt fitting. my favorite this month would be this puentalay set made for you antania ♥ it took a lot of time, especially all the coloring, but it was worth every second!
(special mention for my sea bday set which i still cannot believe the bday boy actually saw and liked on twt ;; i love him so much!)
May
i think it's very deserved that my most popular edit in may was this puentalay one for my our skyy 2 episode edits series. it's for the first vice versa episode and tbh also my personal favorite out of all those episode edits i made ^^ the coloring just worked super well there. my true favorite of the month was the pran's life anthem edit i made for @pransobrave ♥
June
as is fitting for pride month, my most popular edit and also my personal favorite was my our skyy 2 couples edit where i tried to describe all of their different loves through the colors of a rainbow. it was a lot of fun to do!
July
the most popular edit this month was the pran set i made for @punpunsutatta ♥ i had a lot of fun with this one bc i got to try some new things with it. personal faves and my peak as an editor (in my own opinion) were the two puentalay edits i made this month. this sam smith song inspired one i made for you zey ♥ i adore the layout and the colors, it makes me think about vintage images and letters. and this other one was born bc the quote haunted me. i love the pink in it a lot, it's so soft.
August
for august, i felt like i was making a ton of things even if i didn't have the energy or the time. in reality, i didn't make that many but i made a couple of very big sets. one of them and the most popular one this month was my winteam set made for @jimmysea ♥ making it took some research and then i had to go through the episodes a little while i searched for the fitting scenes. personal favorite was this akktheo set bc it turned out looking very cute. i think it captures their feeling as a couple and their story well.
special mention for my jimmy bday set bc i poured my heart into it ♥ i love this man so much (and i currently wish he is fine and gets well soon, he's apparently in the hospital ;;)
September
things got hectic in september as i started my internship and had to travel around a lot. i was too tired to do much else but work and study and watch dramas without any brain. that's why i only made two edits. my most popular set was my last request edit for my event. it was patpran with the lyrics from ford arun's song come closer and made for @celestial-sapphicss ♥ i love the colors in this so much. personal favorite, only barely, is still my puentalay + 8 types of love set. i had a blast making it as a kind of collab with @dimpledpran who made the patpran version!
October
made only two edits (or well, one cut into two parts) in october too due to being very busy and tired. they were quite big tho bc i used a long while gathering material for them. it was its own type of research project when i wrote down all the times puentalay told each other 'i love you' without saying those exact words to each other. i struggled with the layout too as mimi can probably remember :'D but i love these sets a lot so they're both my favorite and most popular ♥
November
finally in november last twilight came to save all of us and so it's no wonder i created a lot for that during this month :'D i honestly wished to make more but i was still mostly busy with my internship and with starting my thesis. my most popular one was this last twilight trailer edit. i think it was fun to kind of make it similar to my mock trailer edit all that time ago. my personal favorite is the mork + linkin park edit that probably caters to only myself lol. am honestly obsessed with each song mentioned in this bc i can see it with mork so well. it was a relief to get that one out.
December
haven't really had the time to dive as deep into last twilight and make as many edits for it as i'd wanted due to using most of december to catch up on sleep and all the studying i couldn't do during my internship, but hopefully now i'll have more time to devastate yall ♥ the most popular post was this last twilight + random tweets thing and my personal favorite is the only morkday quote edit i've managed so far. i love the colors and the whole concept to bits, and cannot wait to make more ^^
-
thank you if you read this far! i'm not sure who hasn't been tagged yet bc i'm a bit late with this one but if you have done this already, you can always send it my way! i almost demand you do. i love appreciating all your art ♥
tagging: @dimpledpran @jimmysea @moonkhao @chinzillas @khaotunqs @pranink @dengswei @taeminie @psychic-waffles (i'd love to see your art!) @yilinglaozu @eohachu @difanghua @mooninagust @namchyoon ♥

20 Questions For Fic Writers
Tagged by @rngaredead :)
For simplicity's sake I'm going to go with just my biDEMONium/trentcrimminallybeautiful ao3 and not try to combine it with my thesorrowoflizards one (why do i have more than one? because i was, among other things, an idiot who didn't know how pseuds worked next question) even though that would probably double some of these numbers lkfjgh
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Again, just on this account? 171 (some of those are oneshot compilations though)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
661,851 for now
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Ted Lasso, The Mysterious Benedict Society, The House on the Cerulean Sea, House MD, Death by Dying, Instinct, King Falls AM. Also, sort of Gravity Falls. Mostly those first two though, tbh.
This one I think I will include other fandoms I've written and posted for on other accounts because it's fun and less about math.
So also Shadowhunters, The Librarians, The Mentalist, The Dresden Files (TV), Roswell New Mexico, The Sandman, Star Trek, Professor Layton, Sanders Sides, Miraculous Ladybug, and sort of The Legend of Zelda.
Also see, for unposted or posted a very long time ago and no longer something I would willingly share, Supernatural, Dirk Gently (both 2016 and 2010), Doctor Who, Warehouse 13, SurrealEstate, Person of Interest, Haven, Leverage, Bones. Psych, and probably more
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Ted Lasso Kisses Trent Crimm On The Mouth (Trent/Ted - 1,157 kudos)
semaphore (Trent/Ted; Trent & Colin - 997 kudos)
off the handle (Trent/Ted - 736 kudos)
linger (Trent/Ted - 709 kudos)
a preacher, a bikini, and a kiss or two (Trent/Ted; Diamond Dogs - 673 kudos)
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to but I always get really busy/tired and then it's been so long it feels like it would be weird if I did. Plus, sometimes my answers by nature of the comments can get repetitive and then even though I'm being sincere I feel insincere which sucks.
However, if a comment has a direct question or something I actually have like, something unique to say about, I'm much more likely to respond sooner rather than later/never.
I appreciate every single comment soooo much though literally my motivation to get through the day like 80 percent of the time
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I'm going to stick with Ted Lasso fics here since I have so many fics posted and this is my Ted Lasso sideblog and say...
well, most of the time I have a bittersweet ending and then some sort of hopeful epilogue (such as with ink sunset and make a mess of you) but I guess betrayal's sting / absolution's balm or something to get off my chest may qualify?
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Uhhh, honestly, most of them are happy endings.
I think trick & treat and matters of the heart end on particularly high notes?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not in this fandom! Yet
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Oh, yeah, baby. So much. Not sure what "kind" means in this context. It sure is explicit smut. I have tended almost exclusively towards hot transgender sex the last few years because. yknow. hi. but somehow I don't think that's the intention in the question.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I do, but I haven't posted a lot. Only one on this account (a Gravity Falls x The Mysterious Benedict Society crossover that started as a joke because of a shared actress) although I had an interesting Shadowhunters x The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess fusion on my other account.
I've written some pretty weird WIPs, though. And I've got some posts about Ted Lasso crossover/AUs, like a Sarah Jane Adventures AU, a Pushing Daisies AU, a Stardust AU... You can find that kind of thing in this tag on my blog.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes. Not in this fandom, though, as far as I'm aware.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! Again, not in this fandom, though.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Oh, man, I don't know if I can decide. Magnus/Alec (TV version only I'll die on this hill) will always hold a special place in my heart, but I've got other "obsessed with this when I was a kid" ships and also recency bias/current hyperfixation means Trent/Ted screams as an immediate answer, and so on and so forth. I'm bad at picking favorites. Overall, I'd probably say one of those two, or both.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Sticking to Ted Lasso again (I have. so many MBS WIPs. god.) I'd say lost sight of (who you are) (lost motivation, want to finish, fuck!!) or sweeter than heaven (hotter than hell) (got mad at it), or!! oh!!! ink sunset (stuck) and possibly the next installment of matters of the heart. Yeah, I have a problem
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I'm pretty good at being funny and also at eloquent but perhaps a little too verbose metaphors. I love me an elaborate metaphor
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
It's hard for me to focus and get what I have in my head out sometimes, even when I really want to. Whether it's being unable to organize or just my brain flat-out refusing to cooperate and do anything. Also, I'm way too like. easily discouraged with lack of feedback, and even a little negative feedback can kind of ruin my week and make me never wanna go back to that story ever again.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I just realized. The questions seemed familiar but I wasn't sure why and now I know, now that I've gotten to this question. I have done this game before and I remember bc of this question. I was confused bc it was under a different name, I think the questions were in a different order, and it was sometimes slightly differently worded but nope! This is the same one! Weird
Anyway, just for this particular question, I'm going to copy-paste my old answer because I'm lazy.
I’m extremely bad at linguistics in general, so if I must include someone talking in another language in my fic, I think I’d tend to cheat and do italics or some other indication that this is ‘in another language’ (ie “Where are you going?” she asked in Russian), but that’s admittedly a lazy approach. But I also think it’s probably better than butchering it with an auto-translator? Also, when people just include the translation in the end notes, even with a link (although that makes it marginally better) it breaks the flow of the story and makes it hard to read. Making an effort to at least match grammar is good (which I would do if it was for longer than a single scene, probably) but I think the best solution is when people know what they’re doing and like, have an actual translation with a little html code so you can click on it and it reveals what it means? Or if you’re clever, revealing what it means using context around it, but that has its own limitations. So that both like, uses the actual language and doesn’t break up the flow. It balances accessibility, flow, and respect for the other language in question well. But you’ve got to both know what you’re doing with the language (either asking someone/hiring someone/knowing the language yourself) and the html (although there are guides for that you’d have to spend time figuring it out + know it exists in the first place to look). And this is fanfiction, something we ultimately do for free in our spare time, so the lazy approach, I think, can be understandable. Maybe not in every context, but it’s not worth stressing a lot over in a few random lines or anything, you know? It is really cool when people do know a language well enough to include it properly in a fic, though, it can say a lot about a character or dynamic; and their background(s) and like. it’s neat :)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Ever? Doctor Who. And I don't remember the order, but after that I know I wrote some stuff about Star Trek (mostly TNG but I believe also TOS), Supernatural, A:LTA, Marvel, WTNV, and the Stanley Parable? I think I first posted either Supernatural or WTNV
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
I have no idea. Some of my top ones (for Ted Lasso again) would be matters of the heart and trick & treat I suppose?
Tagging: whoever wants to do this man, I probably tagged everyone I'd normally tag last time so if you see this and you wanna do it, go ahead and tag me and do it!

Kingdom Hearts: Nobody Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Ontology??? headcanons
saw people talking about more monstrous Nobodies a bit ago (okay it was a long while ago at this point, this has been in drafts for ages) and that reminded me to share some of my thoughts. it spiraled kind of out of control and now this post is ridiculously long. three parts: the physical side, the less physical side, and other thoughts. most of it’s under the cut. enjoy
The physical side
All of these apply to ALL Nobodies, not just the funny squiggly ones.
Alrighty, here’s my proposal: Nobodies don’t have any internal organs. Even the ones that retain their human form. They may look and act like they’ve got regular human body processes, but I like to think that it’s just a hollow imitation. This is why every single Nobody has an absolutely snatched waist
So they’d lack both their metaphysical hearts and their real hearts!
The Organization was founded by a bunch of researchers who got into this mess via unethical human experimentation so you know they tried to pin down the specifics of Nobody biology early on, but every time they tried to use any medical equipment it would come up empty or just straight up not work. And then none of them were willing to get vivisected for the cause lmao
I think the greater Nobodies (human-shaped ones) are made up of the same weird, rubbery flexible stuff that lesser Nobodies are, but just don’t have that flexibility because hey! They’ve got a human form to maintain! They may seem human, but on a biological level, they’re closer to the squiggly guys than an actual human. This is why it’s possible for Xemnas to turn greater Nobodies into Dusks. We never see him do it, but I doubt it’s an empty threat. I don’t think there were any other greater Nobodies in the Organization in the past, but he’s probably transformed one of the specialized Nobodies, like a Dancer or Dragoon, into one of the lowest-ranked ones, like Dusks or Creepers or something.
All Nobodies have the Nobody sigil somewhere on them. For lesser Nobodies it’s easily visible, but for greater Nobodies, it’s on their backs, and since they’re always wearing those coats, no one ever sees it.
If a Nobody is cut, they don’t bleed- instead, little wisps of darkness leak out of the wound, like what happens in the Org’s death animations but on a smaller scale. They can heal faster than regular humans thanks to ✨something something darkness and nothingness✨.
Though Nobodies are supposedly shunned by both light and darkness, they are more aligned with dark than light. Any Nobody can wield light, not just Roxas (as shown by Zexion in Chain of Memories), but it takes great difficulty. However, they can wield darkness with ease.
Nobodies do need to sleep as regularly as humans, but can last much longer without food or water. Rest? Yes! Nutrience? Unimportant
They have no body heat- that’s a corpse, baby!!! That does bring up some questions about thermoregulation. I don’t feel like thinking about it tbh. There’s lots of questions in this vein: can Nobodies get drunk? I think they probably can’t. In 358/2 Days, Demyx says “Wait, training!? That sounds like work, which means sweating. Which is gross.” and that... complicates things! I could chalk it up to how a lot of people in Organization XIII have a tendency to keep acting like they’re humans and nothing’s changed, even though it has.
Nobodies are “born” in any world in the Realm Between. Roxas first appeared in Twilight Town, but some might have shown up by Castle Oblivion, or even the Mysterious Tower (god bless). Showing up in The World That Never Was is probably the most common.
The less physical side
It’s quite an unlikely coincidence that every apprentice of Ansem the Wise had a standout, super strong heart that allowed them to retain their human forms as Nobodies. I think it had something to do with being stabbed by a keyblade, not just their wills alone. That would also align with 9-12 being tied to a keyblade legacy. A strong will is important, yes, but you only get to be human-looking if there was a keyblade involved.
In a Nobody, the most important part of this will is the will to live. Should that ever wane, they Nobody will begin to destabilize, and eventually, they will return to nothingness.
Nobodies have hearts, and they do not have hearts. They have feelings, and they do not have feelings. It’s like the observer effect in quantum mechanics. Anyone who can sense hearts or feelings or whatever will not be able to sense anything from a Nobody, no matter how far along in development that heart may be, reinforcing the belief that yeah there’s nothing there. But there is... and also there isn’t. Both statements are true. A friend described it as “Schrödinger’s Feelings” and it’s the most accurate “Schrodinger’s ____” joke I’ve ever seen made. Someone else described it as depression which is also accurate (source: i’ve had depression). There are bouts of emotion occasionally, but those emotions are dulled (and usually negative) and most of the time there’s only suffocating apathy.
There is some truth to the statement that Nobodies’ feelings are simply recreations of what they might’ve felt back when they had hearts, but it’s also bogus. Memories are important to the makeup of a Nobody, but that statement is often used as an excuse that covers up the reality that there was a feeling there. It’s very easy to lie to yourself when there’s mostly data supporting your argument and any evidence against is less common and easily disputed by “logic” like this.
The most prominent “feelings” in Nobodies are an intense sense of longing and dissatisfaction. For some, the longing is for a heart, but for others it is aimless. That was the idea behind all the Nobodies having little hobbies like cooking and puzzles and reading magazines in the manga. They’re trying to fill that void with anything they can.
In one of the novels, Demyx, #1 proponent of the idea that Nobodies do have hearts actually, gives us this:
I play and play, but I can’t make a satisfying sound.
In truth, I know I won’t be satisfied in all eternity.
If you don’t have a heart, there’s no such thing as satisfaction.
You don’t even think you want to be satisfied.
And yeah, the novels aren’t canon, but it’s still interesting to see and think about. Nothing you do is good enough to fill that emptiness, but you can barely bring yourself to care about it anyway. Yep, depression!
Nobodies are prone to a high amount of introspection. It’s an inherited trait all Nobodies share- if you manage to survive past humanity in a bizarre fucked up state like this, you’re naturally going to be thinking about it. However, they’re all also incredibly bad at it, and generally do a horrible job at self-reflection. This is just an unfortunate coincidence
A Nobody can regrow a heart if they make connections, and are seen and acknowledged by others. Pretty sure that’s just canon. HOWEVER, Nobodies cannot help each other grow hearts- this is why none of the Organization regrew hearts after 10 years of being around each other, and despite connections within the group. 0+0 is still 0, after all. That’s what makes the policy of going undetected on missions so insidious. They’re never allowed the chance to regrow a heart. I’ve already talked about it somewhere else, but this is why Roxas grows a heart so fast- he ignores that rule, for the most part. Axel’s interactions with Sora are also what kickstarts his heart growth.
Hypothetically, since someone doesn’t have to remember a memory for Castle Oblivion to draw on it, the mechanics with the cards and the rooms could have been used to help Xemnas recall his past- considering how much time he spent talking to Aqua’s armor, I think that’s something he might’ve been interested in. HOWEVER! Since the Twilight Town card came from the memories on the other side of Sora’s heart, I propose that the properties of Castle Oblivion would have no effect on Nobodies. RIP.
Other thoughts
I’m not saying Ansem the Wise and Yensid were right about Nobodies! I do think they’re different from humans on a fundamental level, but demonizing them is Not Cool
On the idea that Nobodies aren’t meant to exist: Well. Just like before it’s total bogus bc the main perpetrators of that idea were either bigoted about it or liars or both but I think it’s a little more complicated than “everyone is flat wrong about this”. Nobodies are essentially naturally-occurring byproducts of Heartless. Most Nobodies (or, at least, the lesser ones, based on that one cutscene in kh2 where hearts rain down on The World That Never Was and we see a bunch of Dusks grasping for them) seem to have a drive to reclaim the heart they’ve lost- if reclaimed, that would mean they wouldn’t be a Nobody anymore. Creatures born in worlds of neither light nor darkness, created only through the destruction of another and only some of the time, who don’t even want to exist like this themselves... that’s what “Nobodies aren’t meant to exist” means to me, I think. BEAR IN MIND “MEANT” IS NOT THE SAME AS “DESERVE”
And then! There’s Nobodies who defy that! Or, uh, Nobody, singular. Roxas goes “bro I don’t care I want to exist as I am” and he does that (Naminé... didn’t really seem to share that opinion, if I’m remembering correctly. Probably because DiZ hammered it into her head that she didn’t deserve to exist). I wish we had seen something like that from one of the regular Nobodies- why should recompletion and/or regaining a heart be the ideal? Why do they have to die again in order to be “right”? It just further perpetuates that idea DiZ and Yensid pushed in kh2: Nobodies are Wrong and shouldn’t be around. Unless you’re special like Roxas or Naminé in which case it’s okay. But for everyone else it’s recomplete or bust... anyway this is a tangent I did not mean to go on with this post-
I think it’s interesting, how they’re made of nothingness and their existence is “nonexistent”. Nothingness is, as an element, something, as opposed to true nothing, which is the absence of anything. Nonexistence implies existence. It’s like how in math, sometimes an answer to a problem will be DNE-- that’s Nobodies, and “nothingness”. “Does not exist”, but in writing the answer, it does exist, as a nonexistent entity. As opposed to just... not having a math problem at all, and therefore not having a place to write a solution. That is true nothingness- all the Nobodies of people whose hearts weren’t strong enough to create Nobodies fall under this category. They don’t exist for real. Nothing as something vs nothing as nothing- ah fuck I just realized this is the second time I’ve used a math analogy for kingdom hearts. shit
in conclusion
that’s all of it. probably. i like nobodies a whole lot. now that i’m thinking about it i should’ve made this multiple posts instead of one huge one. if you read all of this you earn my undying love
#kingdom hearts#kh#organization xiii#nobodies#kh headcanons#me post#i dont expect anyone to reblog this one lmao#but it would be nice if someone read it#i spent a stupid amount of time thinking about this#oh my god wait#0+0=0 is technically also a math analogy#fuck ive done this three times#and with the mention of quantum mechanics this post outs me as a super turbo nerd multiple times

Idk I don’t think you’re giving the other links enough credit when it comes to preparedness. You’re kinda implying that they could just wandering into town whenever to restock but that’s not really true. I’d actually argue Wild had the easiest time because he could just teleport to ten different villages to buy whatever he needed at any given time (that’s how I played him in BOTW lol. I’d just clear out the stalls every few days tbh I’m too lazy to farm stuff myself sometimes). Plus he has a Hyrule that is full to the brim with natural recourses. Most of the other Links had much harsher worlds.
Time spent several weeks (months?) trapped in the future post-apocalypse where the only civilization to survive was a single village in the far corner of Hyrule. Every other town or place was destroyed or cursed or frozen.
Legend was a wanted criminal so he couldn’t just wander into town and buy a loaf of bread.
Twilight was trapped as a wolf for a long while and was actively chased away.
Sky was stuck on the ground without any civilization aside from an old lady and Groose.
Hyrule didn’t even have towns to go to during his first adventure.
Wind spent weeks at sea, which he couldn’t even fish in because there are no fish in the Great Sea. Plus he couldn’t get water easily. Arguably I’d say he had the hardest time with that because the life of a sailor is dang hard because of the lack of resources.
So I’d argue that the other are actually way more prepared to deal with the food situation than Wild, who’s literally never had to ration because he ran into food everywhere he went. Seriously it’s basically impossible to go ten feet in BOTW without seeing a mushroom. Even in the desert there’s stuff it pick. (It’s actually a problem for me when playing lol I get so distracted picking up each and every berry)
Warriors especially would be good at monitoring food levels because he was a Captain of a large army. If I know anything about war conditions in the pre-modern world it’s that food and starvation was a huge factor in winning wars. Fun fact - most strongholds and castles fell because people were starved out, not because the doors were bashed down. That’s why modern armies are so big on logistics now. So Warriors would be on top of that with details and numbers on how much an active man eats in a day and what foods keep and what’s the best way to transport it. There’s no way he’d not be deeply involved in something so important. So I doubt he doesn’t know the challenges of keeping a small army fed while on the road.
I respect your opinion and I get what you're saying, but you're missing the major thing that generally, the others can't cook. While that just may not be a mechanic in any of their games, it doesn't matter.
Like obviously the others aren't completely useless and I get why that pisses people off that Wild may be good at something that the others may not be.
It's not unreasonable to assume that the worlds of the other Link's are just as bounteous when it comes to wild plants and animals that can be hunted but the fact is that they NEVER needed to resort to foraging or hunting for their food. A lot of them healed up by killing monsters and picking up their hearts that popped out, which idk how that would translate to reality but whatever.
Wild was born with nothing to his name but a weird little iPad, he was forced to pick up everything along the way so he wouldn't starve. He couldn't even properly cook until he left the great plateau.
Not everyone plays the game like you do, it's honestly crazy to me that you waste your rupees on food that you can literally pick up off of the ground. I only buy things that can't be harvested like sugar and goron spice and milk.
You can have whatever headcanons you want but don't come to me acting like I'm wrong for not having the same ones.
#when i talk about wild in love I don't mean that the others are useless or whatever#im not attacking your faves by saying that Wild is better than them at one of the things he's canonically shown to be better at#if you come at me with a defensive rant I will rant back#linked universe#lu wild#linked universe wild#ask andromeda

Edit: Somehow, my queue glitched and posted this earlier this week, so hopefully~ this works out-
Golly, another @khoc-week has come and gone, time sure flies when you're having fun-
Thank you for another AWESOME week full of such fun OCs!!! I love seeing everyone's creativity shine through their characters, it's like a small look into everyone's brains where we can admire the little worms living in there... in a good way!
Whether they're freshly hatched or well aged, these silly guys always bring me so much joy! :)
Genuinely, I wish I had the energy to interact with every single one of them, so instead I will blow them all a kiss from afar!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ They are what makes this week of the year truly special!
Beware, I will be lurking in tags ready to pounce on every OC I see after this is over I'm OBSESSED- (jk jk... unless?)
Onwards, then, to the final prompt of the year!!
Day 7 - Happily Ever After
Now, alas I've been following the canon timeline and filling in gaps with my own fun worldbuilding, characters and lore, so by all rights their stories are not gonna reach a happy ending for a WHILE (writing? who is she?), however the hypotheticals are always a good way to cope with that!
What their endings have reached so far while we're in lore hiatus (waiting endlessly for Missing Link and KH4... jk jk I hope they take their time tbh-) is that ideally after KH3, while everyone is looking for Sora, they're world jumping and clearing out remaining hoards of darkness together as a crew, alongside Reixen for more bonding time, in a variety of new places! They solve some mysteries surrounding their own personal character arcs and learn things about themselves they never considered, it's a real eye opener. Day 2 kinda hints at that with my picks of places I want them to go to fulfill that! At this rate, they may just be a series of oneshots...
Of course, it all eventually HAS to end, so here's some loose ends and how they may tie them up!
Iris:
Considering Iris ended up in the future, of course she has to cope with the reality that the worlds she knew are gone, or at least have yet to be restored (aside from Daybreak Town there's no repairing that-). Plus the existential crisis of having technically been dead AND given a new, puppet-esque body to inhabit. Lucky, she is, to even be here to begin with.
At the same time, she's helping Alto regain his memories from the same era they both managed to escape in some way. Being repeatedly reincarnated kinda screws some things up along the way, so it's a long haul process for the both of them to come to terms with.
Depending on what happens with the Scala ad Caelum plotline, they may both travel there, or to what's left of it, for closure, as well as to learn about the culture there to see what became of it after they were both long gone. Pay their respects to Alto's pal Ephemer and all that.
Her ending ideally is moving on and learning to live in a time she didn't anticipate seeing, which should be simple in theory since she's so young. She stays with Irene and Alto in Radiant Garden, and together with Alto they both take up lessons with Merlin and Yen Sid to learn more modern Keyblade skills, eventually (despite being Keyblade Master precursors) they are granted the titles of Master and help protect the universe.
♡♡♡
Irene:
She returns to her job, forever changed by her experiences, and helps her fellow castle staff move on and forgive themselves for the horrors they had to go through. It's a long haul process, but it will be worth it!
She finds herself a comfy living place in Radiant Garden to offer as a safe space for those she grew close to when they need it, where she essentially adopts Alto and Iris, since they don't really have a place to go that isn't rooming with a wizard or an on-the-road teenager. From time to time she also travels to Twilight Town to visit Reixen and her found family (maybe attending her polycule wedding at some point), but otherwise seems perfectly content staying put. Maybe the occasional visit from Iliana, as a treat. That doesn't require much aside from constant pestering, really.
While readapting to life a decade later than she's used to is a hassle in of itself, she seems to do it with grace, which is impressive considering she was presumed dead for said decade-
She also has that wonderful romance with Russell, as they deserve, and they both get to retire at some point knowing they have their chance to heal from all the suffering they experienced... and with more adopted kids than they know what to do with-
♡♡♡
Iliana:
What I envision for her is kind of complicated and long, so I'll try to keep it short-
Ideally, she gets to save her world once and for all while also getting rid of Igni, which almost costs her her life (nothing is allowed to be easy with Igni, as we've learned from Day 4-). So afterwards she's in recovery surrounded by the loved ones she gained along the way. For how long? Who's to say, miss ma'am will either be MIA or in a comatose sleep (jk jk... unless?) so it depends entirely on her and the awful side effects of Igni's possession tbh-
Chronically ill? With Igni goo disease? More likely than you think!
On the bright side, she finally gets to reunite with her brother in this timeline, though later than intended, and the two eventually take off on a journey of self discovery! Or they probably camp out with their uncle for a while before they do that, either way. They make up for lost time and get to grow together as people while also tying up a whole heap of loose ends their pasts left behind. A whole heap is nothing to sneeze at in this case-
In between, she makes time to check in on various allies as well as hang out with (her nerdy now bf) Ienzo. They have a funky long distance relationship because of her travels, so she surprises him with her presence when she can.
Maybe she gets an engineering degree, who knows? Certainly not me, at least not yet.
I like to think she eventually takes on apprentices or something and is probably the most annoying mentor known to the universe, especially if one of her apprentices is conveniently a secret younger sibling (I joke but... maybe-).
Nothing will be easy, of course some stupid new plot will pop up and she'll have even more nonsense to deal with, but that's a later issue to think about.
♡♡♡
And finally, they all get therapy ♥
They're doomed by the narrative to be absolutely demolished but can never truly die, so it's only fair they can live out somewhat happy and fulfilling lives despite every up and down I throw at them!
That's all I've got for this prompt, thank y'all for another wonderful KHOC Week and I will see y'all next year!!
Or in the tags, I'm always in the tags. :3c

Food for thought...
Maliketh's eyes are the bueish-purple we see in both Blaidd and the beast eye he gives the Tarnished as Gurranq. Personal beliefs are leading me to think he granted his own eyes to the Tarnished (us) and possibly D - since D already knows Gurranq and weeds deathroot, same as the Tarnished we play as. Maliketh may have very well rendered himself blind for the sake of sating his hunger. If that much is true, this could mean that he was so desperate and hungry, he gave up his own eyes as a last resort to the two remaining hunters that give a damn about serving him.
Some semblance of proof would be the beast eye's item description.
-
Claw-marked stone eye received from Gurranq, Beast Clergyman.
It is said to tremble when near Deathroot.
The murky violet iris writhes as if alive.
"I am not sated... Feed me more...Death..."
-
This is otherwise pure speculation/headcanon...but what if...?
Oooh that's a great theory! For an angsty story oooh...
I actually agree it's likely his eyes are purple like Blaidd, but I'm not sure about the stone eye. Narratively speaking, I love the idea, especially because it fits a pattern of inexplicable madness. Mal is powerful, Mal has OP minions. Why isn't he using them? Why isn't he fetching death himself? Why use D, or us, he has the eye himself, he could go get it!
The hunger being crippling and affecting him to the point it's easier/more logical to rip out his eyes than to go out himself would definitely fit that insanity.
I'm reluctant to accept it as a "likely canon" explanation though, if only because I don't think his lack of eyes as a model that was never intended to be shown—ever—can be taken to mean anything about the character.
I'm going to use Miquella to further my proof. By clipping inside his egg, you also see that surprise, he has no eyes :
Yes, sorry for the psychic damage.
I think those are hasty models, a compromise between texturing something enough knowing the fans will be clipping all over the place within the month, but not actually losing time hyper rendering everything.
That, but there is also the fact the eye is stone. Strange that it would have calcified, right? Some fans have pointed out the likelihood that it actually belongs to the Gloam-Eyed Queen (also known as Dusk Eyed Queen), the leader of the Godskin apostles, an Empyrean herself, who used to wield Destined Death and was defeated by Maliketh!
Godslayer's Greatsword
Sacred sword of the Dusk-Eyed Queen who controlled the Godskin Apostles before her defeat at the hands of Maliketh.
The black flames wielded by the apostles are channeled from this sword.
Gloam means twilight/dusk, which is when the sky bleeds from blue to purple to black and uhoh :
So, could it be more of a war trophy? The eye he took from the Gloam-Eyed Queen? And then, there's the debate that the Gloam Eyed Queen (or her daughter) is none other than Melina, who [spoilers!!] reveals her closed eye after the Flame of Frenzy ending.
The similarities are pretty glaring, although, yes, her eye would have restored itself, so still plenty of questions. Some fans stipulate the striation on the stone eye even match the tattoos on her face :
Original reddit post.
Since the GEQ was the wielder of Destined Death before Maliketh, it makes sense that her eye would have a connection to that, whether she's fully dead (most likely tbh?) or is in fact Melina (if she's a spirit then maybe she can just have whatever eyes she wants heh).
I think Melina being the GEQ's daughter is what would make the most sense, especially considering she has the moveset of the black knives assassins and might have been involved in Ranni's plot. But I'm a bit out of my depth there.
I feel like Maliketh giving you his own fossilized eyes or his old war trophies are both great ways to go about a story and both speak of desperation, just of a different kind. I just don't feed like we can judge his story based on the inner layers of the model that are not made to be seen and are there for technical reasons.
Because you know, otherwise we'll have to ask ourselves if he has no hair under his armour because he shaves :
Looool sorry I can't resist. The lack of hair cards on his torso makes sense so it doesn't clip but the naked look is so stupid silly _(:з」∠)_

Do you have any HR with the hero/heroine spying on the hero/heroine doing or going somewhere and then get caught and confronted by the hero/heroine, idk it could be a lake or something, idk if I'm explaning myself
I think I got some stuff for you
Elizabeth Hoyt has these vibes often due to the nature of her books lol:
Thief of Shadows--I mean, Winter is a masked vigilante and Isabel is basically trying to figure out it's him for much of the book. NOW. Her method for figuring it out IS sucking his dick behind a curtain, but still.
Duke of Midnight--Maximus is ALSO a masked vigilante (it's a thing, there's a shared identity) and Artemis catches him doing all that and blackmails him
Duke of Sin--I mean Valentine technically spies on Bridget for like 3-4 months while he lives in his own walls, but I also think there are times when they catch each other doing various nefarious things
A Secret Love by Stephanie Laurens has a heroine masquerading as a widow in order to extract a favor from her childhood friend-turned nemesis. There's a big moment when he catches her slipping up... which is after he has Done Shit with that masked lady, mind you lol.
The Many Sins of Lord Cameron by Jennifer Ashley has the heroine spying on the hero with another woman (at the very beginning of the book--he and the heroine are not by any means together and this woman is just like some random he's trying to fuck lol) and he's very aware that she's spying and chases the other woman way before being like "and you are here why?" The heroine is really good at picking locks and creeping, and he's super turned on by the thought of her being a voyeur lol.
If you wanna go more hardcore on this, The Recruit by Monica McCarty has the heroine make first contact with the hero when she spies on him fucking another lady. They've never met and it's a doggy style deal so he makes eye contact with the heroine and gets off on her watching. He confronts her AFTER lol.
Olivia and The Masked Duke by Grace Callaway is another "post-viewing" confrontation, but the heroine spies on the hero spanking another woman before they're together. It Awakens Her.
The Duke Who Knew Too Much by Grace Callaway. lmao THIS ONE is HILARIOUS because this very innocent but nosy heroine spies on the hero when he and his mistress are doing a light CNC (by way of bondage) and busts in like "UNHAND HER!!" and the mistress goes with it because she doesn't wanna be seen as freak. Then the mistress dies... and the hero has to explain to our heroine that he's not a murderer he's just like... into kinky sex.
Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks may be juuust what you need lol. The hero is trying to resist consummating his marriage with the heroine (she's deaf, he doesn't think she can consent though she totally can) and then walks in on her bathing in a lake. He's not God's strongest soldier.
The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by K.J. Charles I think, has the one hero desperately trying to catch the other hero, a smuggler, in the act, as revenge for blackmail. It's great lol. The Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel also has one hero discover the other, his secretary, snooping around the house late at night. And then he's like "I wasn't snooping, I was just trying to fuck???"
Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale has Allegreto walk in on Elena sneaking around his weird little collection room, and he's all "I CAN DO YOUR BIRTH CHART" and she's like "what" because he's crazy.
Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas has Harry and Poppy officially meet when she's creeping around HIS collection (we love a hero or heroine with a weird collection tbh).
The Lady Hellion by Joanna Shupe has the hero catch the heroine when she's masquerading a man to try to help sex workers by night. Like he's all "I GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT THE FUCK SHE'S UP TO" and then he's like "hmm that was hotter than I expected".

my 2023 summary of art!
Template:here
still not consistently posting anywhere, but I like doing these. they're fun
there's a lot of things i would've liked to include but had to exclude, due to not being shareable on this account. maybe i'll have more stuff next year!
this is long, so details under the cut
JANUARY
silly lizard oc
i generally dont do much single line hatching, so it was nice to fiddle with it this time
FEBRUARY
the wittle scrunkly lizard
last time i drew this one, they were an lps shitpost, so its nice to like draw them normally lol
MARCH
herman is running out of time
glasses axolotl but make him neon idk
APRIL
fancy calico
i honestly dont know whats up with the clothes, i just kinda drew whatever tbh
MAY
yippie!!
toontown oc! was playing ttcc w/shard and co, this is the character i ended up making
i also got covid around april-march iirc so i was feeling horrid for a while (and the remaining symptoms didnt clear up till like june)
JUNE
an oc i got years ago but didnt have the confidence to draw for a while lmao
anyways i like her colors and shape, she's fun
JULY
mandatory artfight posting
this was one of the last ones i did! ocs belong to pookapooka and they were so fun to paint
idk if ill be doing artfight again tbh. ive been doing it consistently since sun vs moon but its honestly felt less fun ever since the tiktok invasion`and how ppls behavior has changed, and especially since the whole ownership thing that happened mid fight this year. (not interested in any of the alternatives ive seen either bc they have the same issues, notably worse issues, or are not furry friendly)
but tbh that might just be me being disenchanted with online art spaces due to the intensifying shittification of basically everything, fucking rip
AUGUST
ring but hes going to jail (again but for real this time)
the staxie monthly prompt was barbie mugshots but i . . . i did this with ring and lumos and promptly forgor to do this with cakes and ale like i was planning to lmfao
im actually gonna watch the barbie movie tonight, renting it so i can watch it on the big tv (didnt watch in theaters bc expensive (movie tickets are generally 15-25 bucks in my area (compared to the 5-10 in my aunt's area (renting is cheaper per person)), and they changed the chairs to these weird uncomfy pleather recliners that make my skin crawl to "justify the price raise" + i hate sitting for more than an hour i need water, bathroom, stretch, and snack breaks))
SEPTEMBER
ganache went over the hedge
was very busy w/projects so i did little casual art
this was inspired by me comparing the over the hedge version of supermarket by ben folds (upbeat & high energy) vs the one by the clash (melancholy + commercial-induced agony)
ever since then i cant stop thinking abt how much the lemon demon guy's voice sounds like the fucking clash guy sdjkhfkjsd
also over the hedge was one of my favorite movies as a kid and i watched it at least 10 times before we had to return the dvd to netflix. i also regularly played the flash games on the site until i forgot about it after finding out about miniclip + notdoppler from other kids and decided to use those for flash games instead bc more options lol
OCTOBER
dta img for a new oc i got, funny long neck budgie thingy
busy w/projects again so little casual art
had to use old mini tablet bc previous tablet was completely unusable fucking rip
NOVEMBER
ganache + cactus pony, they want to know if you have any bubblegum. do you?
busy w/projects again so little casual art
doodle i made in heavypaint (one of the old layerless versions, i bought a lisence for it a while ago.)
i got a new tablet on black friday since the mini tablet was horrible + my broken tablet was making me work very slow
DECEMBER
ring in the void (this is lore accurate)
or as nic put it, "fucked up twilight sparkle" lol
busy w/projects + gifts so little casual art
i actually sketched this w/the mini tablet, but didnt finish it up till getting the new tablet
---
for reading this far, you get to see amogus.
i would've put amogus whisper on the chart but decided against it since im not done with that one yet lmao

Stormy, welcome back to the world post crazy weekend!
Question for you, how would HSH/LMTCOY characters identify sexually? Romantically? Including the townhouse tenants, Malon and Dark? I await your headcannons.
~🐹 sitting eagerly and waiting for more content to appreciate
Rodent anon I am cherishing some of the asks you sent during my Crazy Stupid Work Month but I am very willing to share this one with the class.
Time - Used to think he was bisexual and monogamous when he first met and married Malon, but over time he's come to understand himself as the pansexual polyamorous pleasure dom we know and love.
Malon - Heterosexual but biromantic, she is not immune to the charms of other women and has enjoyed a date or two (or more) with members of her gender, especially after she'd separated from Time.
Twilight - Everyone's favorite anxious bean has gradually been morphing from "I'm straight I'm just bad at it" to "Bisexuality is a thing?" He definitely tends toward men, but pretty ladies will still make him stammer.
Wild - Happily oblivious pansexual, demiromantic. It's hard when you start falling in love with your friends tbh.
Warriors - He's the epitome of the "Move, I'm gay" meme. Homosexual, homoromantic who tends toward aromantic just a bit. Although perhaps Warriors's idea of "romance" is just being a perpetual thorn in the side of his loved ones. He's also considering the benefits of polyamory, although so far it sounds like a lot of Work.
Sky - Heteroromantic, but currently questioning his own sexuality. Totally thought he was heterosexual all up until a certain recent Incident with one third floor resident.
Legend - Demi demi demi demi demi. Legend is demisexual and gray-romantic, and you could consider him bi or pan because gender doesn't matter to him, either. But by far the most important thing to Legend is the strong basis of mutual trust and caring in any relationship. And once that's been established, Legend is the ultimate Ride or Die.
Hyrule - Aromantic homosexual, and you can thank Pines for informing that hc. Hyrule's too busy living his life and being awesome to bother himself with romance.
Wind - He hasn't bothered himself with labels yet, and he may never. He's pretty sure he's bisexual, and that was the extent of that self-reflection before he locked that information firmly in a closet and moved on with his day. Also, what even is romance??
Four - The token aroace of the house with a relatively neutral opinion on sex. He can take it or leave it, depending on what his partner wants.
Shadow - Aromantic bisexual, and like Warriors, his idea of "bonding" is pestering his partner to death. But Shadow is like Legend in his irrational levels of attachment to his loved ones, and he will defend those he loves with his life.
Dark - This disaster scrumblo is pansexual and, believe it or not, demiromantic. Although like Warriors, his idea of "romance" may differ from cultural standards, for Dark it's more about showing someone that you love them than about saying any three words.

Now though, with the rumors of giant wolves in the woods going strong for months and only confirmed by the events of the morning, their hand had been played.
for every "🌹" received in my inbox I'll post one random sentence of a random WIP I'm currently writing

This has been sitting in my drafts for ages, and I finally got around to finishing it. Many, many, many thanks to @forksgothic for being a phenomenal beta-reader/editor
Basically a continuation of my not-quite a rewrite/extra to canon of twilight where the pack isn't essentially on their own, but loved and supported by their parents and the elders of La Push. Wherein Billy has a somewhat difficult conversation with his younger sister about his nephew Colin

I want to dump all the characters in your ask box (I may do this anyway), but I’ll settle for Embry Call 👁👄👁
Oh go ahead and dump everyone lol. But, on to my best boy, Embry
Do I like them: Absolutely. I've always been most interested in the pack and their dynamics (like the rest of tumblr), but I was really drawn initially to the friendship between embry/quil/jacob, or what little of it we saw in the series
5 Good Qualities: (a lot of this is coming from those genius lists @blackpack did on little known tidbits from the books)
He's very observant, being the one to bring up to Jacob that Sam meets with the tribal council, among other things
He's quite loyal to his friends and family
and his mom- he's very aware of the gossip about her when she first moved to town, and what still lingers to some extent. I could go more into how I see their relationship, but for a good while, they were all the other had, and having to keep the secret from her really hurt
I also see him as quite smart, wanting to go to college to study history and/or folklore and is the one that fights the hardest against the pack having to drop out of school or whatever they end up doing
He's quite easygoing and doesn't seem to hold a grudge for long if at all
He puts up with Quil and Jacob and their shenanigans
3 Bad Qualities: (tbh this took a lot longer than I thought)
honestly, the fact he stayed with Sam's pack as long as he did- for as long as he and Jake have been friends I'm surprised it took him until after Bella had the baby to leave
he never tells his mom?? I am drifting far into my own headcanon territory, but if they're close, he should have let her know what was going on and that he's not in some rebellious phase- he had the okay from Sam to do so. Even if she isn't Quileute she does have the right to know at least some of what's going on
he makes too many bets for his own good- where is this money coming from??
Favorite Episode/Moment: This scene from Eclipse
Otp: Quil/Embry for sure because a) I’m a sucker for friends to lovers, but b) it’s a great replacement for the claire imprint situation which has always squicked me out
Brotp: Embry/Quil/Jacob obviously
Ot3: I don’t know if I have an OT3 for Embry? Maybe Embry/Quil/Jacob, if I was forced to choose, but it still doesn't feel right
notp: I'm not particularly fond of Embry/Bella, but really don't like Embry/any vampire-though I don't even know if those fics exist (like I know Rosalie/Leah exists and I’m baffled by it)
best quote: I had to flip through New Moon, and I had totally forgotten about this gem-
"Well, the wolf's out of the bag now." Embry sighed. "Way to go, Jake." (New Moon, pg 328, Family)
headcanon: he's a fancy dancer and has been going on the powwow trail with his mom quite literally his entire life (Tiffany is a somewhat well known fancy shawl dancer) and the entire pack+ adjacent crew saved up for ages and surprised him with new regalia after he grew out of his old set post-growth spurt

B and V and any other one you want to do for the ask game
AA YAY A QUESTION. thank u for asking fisher 😘
B: A pairing-platonic, romantic or sexual-that you initially didn't consider, but someone changed your mind.
it's gotta be Charlie Swan and Carlisle Cullen from Twilight. Now idk what they are, I honestly think their pairing is romantic🤷♀️🤷♀️ but in the books and movies they are platonic, tired dads duo. I've rewatched twilight too much but I think two years ago I came across an online friend that posted on their IG story about this fic of them and boom. suddenly I'm a Charlisle shipper. (Best day of my life tbh)
V: which character do you relate to most?
Winter Soldier and Erik Lenhsherr. Bucky, I've always been told I'm hard to read and emotionally unavailable and distant and "neutral" (wtvr that means), though I honestly don't think so...I don't think I'm that kind of a dry texter but ig it's just..my face or personality or smth. I only began to realize this after being told about it the first time when I was 11 or so, and so Bucky became my little sweetheart because we are kind of similar, we love too hard but it's not easy to get that love, just alot of similarities. Erik, now see how similar these two are? Bucky and Erik? Yeah I kind of vibe w them💀 so Erik, both of us don't really see that much of a good in people (him the human race, me, humans in general) and we're not that forgiving either. I may not look like someone who's not forgiving because I do sometimes, but ik in my heart I still feel a bit mad inside when things don't go my way and ppl did something to hurt me. and there are way more things but its personal so I won't share😘
