Happy Valentine’s Day, lovely person 🌹
Your writing is so so good (and please know that I am also here for your original work when/if you share it. The snippets that you’ve already shared were great!). But most of all, you’re a wonderful person! *sends hugs*
Here’s a romance-themed OC question for any OC(s) of your choosing (no pressure to answer on Valentine’s day itself, or at all):
What is the most romantic thing your OC has done for someone else? And the other way around, what is the most romantic thing that someone else has done for your OC?
Tumblr media
HUGGING YOU, SEREN. Happy Valentine's day, wonderful friend! ;u;
these are WONDERFUL questions. I'll take this for Ilya and Georgi from my shifter romance, as I was just writing about their backstory the other day >:3 art by the incredible @androleda, Ilya on the left.
Tumblr media
so in short, shifter groups in this verse are relatively insular. Ilya and Georgi are from different clans, and intermingling isn't really heard of.
the scene I was writing fits this prompt, as Georgi saved Ilya's life:
He’s beautiful like this, lean and strong. A scar etches itself down his left hip, a stain against his dark skin and wickedly curved. He catches her eying it, a wry smile twisting his lips. “My clan did not approve of my choices.” His thumb traces the jagged edge of it, and she can picture the shape of the claws that had made it, curved and wickedly sharp. Georgi lets out a soft sound when he sees it, low and rumbling, his hand wrapping possessively around his waist. “I wasn’t fast enough.” “You were, Mili.”

DROPS THE SPACE BLOODMOON DOODLES A couple things, you can probably tell whats going on with him but I'll let ya guess! -He meets @nekojaf's Ruby Y/N on his destructive path through space (in the one sector that garners much suspicion). He breaks onto her ship. -He claims he was made for destruction but never says who made him.
-Ruby was probably the very few who got him to stop. Purely cause he never did stop to listen to anyone on the planets he wreaked havoc on. Literally thats all it took. (Also helped Ruby wasn't screaming like others. He thought that was normal.) -Anyway, he's been Sat down to learn properly cause this man got no manners! Also shoved into a suit cause he really did just zoom around space without much else. (He is a robot afterall!) -Also a height chart! To figure out some stuff. Bloodmoon's like maybe an inch shorter than Lunar. Likely the same height.
-Out of all the characters. He would be the strongest. Has the most power, and capable of planetary destruction at a snap. (He just likes how it go boom, and everyone screaming.)
-Is he one or two? That's a future problem that I'll think about later. I might be forgetting things! But feral comet boy whomst causes too much chaos. I sort of based him on a comic i read.

[fandom literate rp ad] i'm back in my hunger games phase, don't @ me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
just when i thought it couldn't get any worse from rewatching the trilogy, i have now fallen back into the pits of panem after watching songbirds and snakes tonight… sorry in advance friends 🤡
heyo! my name is talia! i'm a 24yo female in EST timezone! former theatre kid, wannabe author, just a silly lil guy tbh. i'm looking for, you guessed it, hunger games fandom rp! this is a specific craving and i'll admit fandom rp is not my forte so i may not follow the "norm" oops. i just want to find a collaborative partner who really vibes and can be a friend to build an amazing story with in this universe! 🧡
does that sound like you so far? cool, cool, lets proceed
🏹 rp style and looking for: 🏹
daily/weekly replies, i have a lot of availability as of right now
18+ writers, character ages will have to be discussed due to the fandom canon, but just dont be creepy gdi
third person, past tense
literate to novella replies. i can go anywhere from 2 paragraphs to exceeding nitro count, depending on scene needs and inspo. quality > quantity tho!
romance is a must. m/m and m/f couples are my preference!
OCs only! canon charas can be discussed but not as mains. i also don't double and i don't do canon/oc couples, i'm sorry ya'll i know this is a deal breaker for some
obsessed with faceclaims, pinterest boards, spotify playlists, an organized and fun server, literally give me all the aesthetics and let me fangirl i am in desparate need
no SFW limits, i'm an open book and probably too desensitized
NSFW-wise, i am like 20/80 in terms of smut/plot. i am totally fine fading to black, i am fine to write it as long as it fits and serves a purpose, but i dont do erp and i don't focus on it as a necessity to a story
ghost friendly, if it isnt a vibe it isnt a vibe. if we are an amazing fit then you will be stuck with me forever but i'm just a stranger on the internet as of right now so no hard feelings
not a canon nut, so open to changing or expanding as we want. someone open to not be a stickler for every canon detail would be cool, obvi we will follow it but i'm ok to add or adjust as we decide!
OOC chatter is a requirement, i am someone who wants to be your friend. idk how some of ya'll just be writing and not being annoying OOC i cannot do it
due to preference and previous experience, i am currently only looking for femme/afab writers, i hope you understand :)
🏹 HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT: 🏹
OCs before katniss era, childhood friends then one moves districts and they get reaped and reconnect
mentor/OC relationship (a younger mentor who won when they were far too young and are now mentoring their best friend from childhood after abandoning them?)
our own spin on canon with OCs implanted into the original trilogy story, like a spinoff of sorts?
capitol x district or peacemaker x district
ensemble casts are ok too im vv open!
tbh i would love to write our own hunger games and include some canon cameos and make our own arena and have a beautifully tragic story and cast, gimme all the darkness and angst and violence and tragedy and moral dilemmas and deep character bonds and impossible happy endings and fights and spectacle just - we can do it, that's all i'm sayin' 👀
i've attached my writing sample below! despite the casual OOC, i promise that if we're a good fit, our stories will be full of nothing but effort and a mild obsession/hyperfixation ✨
contact stuff 📱
if you are srs please reach out over discord. i do not check tumblr enough i'm the worst so i would love to get notifs bahaha my username is: muppetmania
i'm a lil picky (and full of anxiety) so please tell me youre from tumblr, a bit about yourself, your rp style, what interests you about this, and a writing sample ofc, that would be so gucci of you i will give you a big hug 🥰
may the odds be ever in your favor or whateva whistling sounds

thin ice | childe x reader | afterword.
masterlist to the series
a/n: this is a rolling document, so if you have any more questions, i can still add them here :D
Tumblr media
congratulations for completing this 100,000-something word monster of a fic. whether you read this as it was posted, or as an AO3 nightly binge (bless your heart), i want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to read thin ice.
it has been an absolute pleasure to interact with you all. i’ve seen all of your kind words, screaming “please don’t break them up” or “gdi grace are they gonna ever confess or not”, and incoherent sobbing.
at times, i thought i would never see the end of thin ice, because, well, it’s long! everyone’s support motivation was the reason why i saw through the end of thin ice. you all have given me such kind words, and i hope that thin ice has lived up to at least some of it.
i would like to give a brief thank you to some folks:
piper, you will never read this, but this whole damn thing is dedicated to you. if y’all don’t know who she is, piper is one of my good friends who plays hockey. piper served as my muse for both childe’s technical hockey terms and y/n’s blunt and fierce personality.
my wonderful beta, thank you for proofreading this whole thing so some of it makes sense.
and of course, to all my moots, especially @wolfhookk​, for always being there when i needed you most :D
now, i asked for some of y’all to send in questions for a q&a, considering the time it took to write thin ice has been approximately 643 days. here are your answers.
Tumblr media
Q: what made you write thin ice?
A: it was a combination of a lot of things tbh. piper is the obvious answer, but the earliest, i think, was my crush on this hockey guy in seventh grade. i was absolutely in love with this guy, he was respectful, kind, intelligent, and his only flaw was that he played hockey (never date a hockey guy. they are walking red flags. unless they’re named childe). anyways, to get his attention, i started watching hockey. i unironically love hockey now tho.
there was also this online web comic series called check please! that i really adored and loved :)
i was also making thin ice as a way to write enemies to lovers, which was one of my favorite tropes to read. plus, nothing wrong with a good slowburn :D
Q: did any movies or books really inspire you to write thin ice?
A: hmm outside of check please!, not really! i will say i watched a couple of documentaries about hockey, and the mighty ducks a couple of times, but that’s about the extent of my inspiration.
also while in the middle of thin ice, i was looking for books to read about hockey and found so many not safe for work novels D: was not a fun time
Q: what made you write y/n and childe’s love story the way you did?
A: i’ve always enjoyed reading enemies to lovers, no matter the au. so!! i just transferred that love into this fic :)
i also wanted to display everything that builds up into a relationship, because realistically, i don’t think love builds overnight. everything, from the first “what the fuck you taught my brother how to skate” to “what the fuck why did you injure yourself” to “what the fuck i kind of love you” to “what the fuck i want you to marry me and i want to spend the rest of my life with you”, was something that i truly believed could happen in real life. small, quirky things, like when y/n gave childe the soup or when they walked in on childe taking an ice bath, are what i loved writing about their relationship the most, and again!! realistic slowburn y’all!
(also y/n and childe never stopped their banter because that was always their way of showing affection for one another, and like. it made more sense to me over them being all over each other; that’s a pretty sharp turn of relationship lolol)
Q: What’s your favorite thing about thin ice? maybe a scene or an experience while you were writing it?
A: i really really love the dialogue in thin ice!! i think it gradually improved over the course of its existence, which i am super proud of :D
my favorite scene would be the entirety of chapter 22, the kiss scene on the ice (had that planned out from the third chapter), and the scene where y/n and childe sleep together on the couch (personally i call it the “stay” scene :D)
my favorite experience would be teasing some angst. love seeing y’all cry in my inbox <3
Q: where did you struggle with thin ice?
A: i definitely struggled with technical terms as i’m not really a sporty person lmaooo i do speech and debate, mun, and literally every other extracurricular except for sports LOL so i struggled with how hockey technicalities works (ironic since i watch it every wknd) and figure skating jumps and spins too ^^; eventually i got the hang of it, but thin ice is not 100% accurate to ice hockey or skating
Q: around what age is y/n and where are their parents?
A: for most of thin ice, y/n is 22, as they are a senior in college. towards the end of it, they would be around 25 in chapter 25 (as it’s been three years since childe and y/n got together), and about 26 in the epilogue because they got married a year later.
as for their parents, i wanted to make sure that y/n was able to be anyone and everyone. since not everyone has a great relationship has a great relationship with their parents, i left them out of it. whether or not they actually have parents is completely up to the reader.
Q: got any writing rituals?
A: ooh i actually really love just writing in bed !! am i aware that it’s not good to write in bed bc you end up sleepy ?? yeah,,,, do i really care ?? absolutely not !!
i also like tea and some background music when writing :D usually puts me in a good mood!!
Q: why did thin ice take so long?
A: imo i think it took so long because of my writing process. for me, i don’t sit down and write out a plan and get at it. i often have to spend a couple of weeks figuring out what i want for this next chapter and write it up in a few days' time. i had a very brief outline for thin ice a couple of months after i started writing it, but mostly let the whole thing unfold with time.
Q: will we ever see a sequel?
A: nope! can confirm that this is is basically the end of thin ice and i will not be returning to write up another sequel. i feel like the story is complete as it is, and honestly i cannot think of anything that would induce a sequel. i would be willing to write a drabble or two, but no more full-length series from here y’all.
Q: like y/n and childe, where do you go from here?
A: again, no sequels for thin ice as far as i’ve planned ^^; i think i’m just gonna do a few fics and headcanons here and there while i plan for my next series. but first and foremost i will be taking a nap after this
Tumblr media
lastly, thank you all so much for reading thin ice. i hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day! :D
grace falconcoast. <3
Tumblr media
p.s.: the next series is, in fact, another childe x reader fic! the au can be found ~somewhere~ in my tumblr tags. happy hunting!

[Magi reread] Night 21: Legend
(alternatively: Saya loses her mind about the fucking moon)
Tumblr media
Shit's still dark, man.
Tumblr media
Like, damn, that's quite a visual here.
Tumblr media
Ugo-kun... why are you trying to look... you don't have a head...
Tumblr media
Honestly, I'm just putting it here, because I like the way it sounds. Idk why.
Tumblr media
Take a moment to appreciate that this translation has that name written differently in EVERY CHAPTER. I'm not even joking. At first it was Doruji, then Dolji in the previous one, and now it's Dorzi, like, bro, make up your mind.
Tumblr media
Honestly, I'm kind of sad how the Kouga Clan loses it's importance later on. There's so much lore on them in this arc...
Tumblr media
I like his quest for identity, especially here. It's actually a pretty cool character arc, though I think it really peaks in the Kou Empire Arc, and then is kind of meh, like everything else in the Final Arc, save for Kougyoku and whatever the fuck she and Alibaba have going on.
But back to Aladdin, it's actually kind of interesting when you think about it, because that quest wasn't really talked about in the first arc. Then again, the entire Dungeon Arc wasn't even all that focused on Aladdin's internal conflicts or anything. We were witnessing his shenanigans from the perspective of other people, Leila's in the first chapter, then mostly Alibaba's, whose thoughts we could even pry into, while Aladdin remained this mysterious and powerful kid he'd met. But here we have it, Aladdin's perspective. Aladdin's journey and self-discovery. As much as I love Alibaba, I'm really glad he's not there, so we can get to know Aladdin outside of his relationship with his best friend. Here these characters present are side-characters, so there's nobody to really steal his spotlight.
Tumblr media
Pretty
Tumblr media
(Wendigoon voice) LORE
But also I'm kind of thinking about Mogamett's backstory, which, man, I can't wait for the Magnostadt Arc. Honestly, his last words are one of my absolute favorite quotes, probably next to Kise's monologue about Aomine in KnB, and People need other people from MP100. The latter is kind of funny, it's nothing groundbreaking and special, but also I think that's why it feels so special, y'know?
Ok, Saya, shut up, it's the wrong arc.
Tumblr media
Honestly, that's one of the biggest themes in Magi. The People need other people thing.
Tumblr media
He heard the story about what Magi is, and he looks so damn sad. : (
Tumblr media
And Baba noticed.
Tumblr media
That's just so ;_;
Tumblr media
He looks so happy to talk about them! (Hugo)
Tumblr media
More Hugo.
But aside from that, honestly? I love it. This entire scene is really wholesome. Aladdin might not know where he came from and all that stuff, but he does have an identity. And identity that comes from the relationships with other people. I'm a sucker for this theme, as long as it's used properly, and here is a damn good example.
Tumblr media
;;;
Tumblr media
Just look how happy he is.
Tumblr media
What the hell is wrong with the moon?! It was a crescent a moment ago! It's pretty but what's going oooon
Tumblr media
Ok, he looks pretty cool here.
Tumblr media
They're safe!
Tumblr media
Fambily
Tumblr media
(inhumane screech) IT'S A CRESCENT AGAIN. WHY IS THE MOON A CRESCENT AGAIN. IT WAS A FULL MOON LITERALLY A MOMENT AGO, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES WHAT THE FUCK OHTAKA EGZPLAIN
Tumblr media
It's all the more interesting, when you later get to Sinbad and Kouen and dirtying their hands to protect their country.
Tumblr media
Awesome! How long will you remain a crescent, huh, moon?
Gdi, maybe Solomon figured he'd fuck with the moon a bit so his kid will look SICK. Damn, actually. Maybe it wasn't Aladdin's words that shocked Baba but the goddamn moon going full randomly.
Tumblr media
Weeee!
Tumblr media
LMAO. Granny ships it.
Tumblr media
Your face does look weird, Grandma.
Tumblr media
Man, I sure hope nothing bad happens, she's such a great character :)
Tumblr media
Oh noooooo
Tumblr media
OH NOOOO

Good/Great Games That Sorely Needed Expansion Packs/DLC Stories, if not More (And What They Might Have Entailed):
X-Wing Alliance (tying up the loose end that is Uncle Antan, whilst maybe extending to the Liberation of Coruscant)
Quake 4 (eliminating the remnants of the Strogg while fighting what may be fellow humans sent to hunt you down)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein+Enemy Territory (just more B.J. Blazkowicz adventures)
Star Wars: Squadrons (modding, more ships like the Assault Gunboat and E-Wing, and a far better and more expanded story campaign akin to X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power)
Battlezone II: Combat Commander (probably cleaning up General Braddock's remaining yet fanatical forces, with an alternate campaign showing the full extermination of the Scion)
Batman: Arkham Origins (basically, a singleplayer campaign between Batman and Dick Grayson Robin based on the premise of the now defunct multiplayer)
Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 (just more missions for the Colonial Marine, Alien, and Predator; maybe even more modding tools)
Original War (an Arab campaign that explains the main game's plot holes, among others)
SiN: Wages of Sin (perhaps an alternate timeline where the elusive Elexis Sinclaire was actually killed, thus preventing the existence of the lackluster episodic sequel)
Valiant Hearts: The Great War (an extension involving the American intervention, the fall of czarist Russia and the rise of Communism, and the end of WW1)
Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars+Kane's Wrath (basically, Kane's Wrath-like takes for the GDI and the Scrin, with maybe a bonus campaign involving CABAL remnants and an actual crossover with Red Alert 2 by way of a Nod agent about to be sent back in time named Yuri)
Brutal Legend (even I can't think which)
Singularity (mayhaps an interquel involving another time traveller who may or may not be helping the protagonists)
Impossible Creatures (again, I can't think of anything)
Shadowrun Returns (Dragonfall and Hong Kong are great, but really, we need more)
BattleTech 2018 (same as Shadowrun Returns)
Mad Max (more adventures, vehicles, and franchise fanservice, and I don't mean the skin kind)
Halo Wars (just some side stories over the course of the Human-Covenant War)
Total War: Shogun 2 (Mongol invasion, 'nuff said)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (I don't really need to say more)
Act of War: Direct Action+High Treason (either a campaign that shows us the fall of the Consortium or, better yet, a full blown alternate universe Consortium campaign)
House of the Dying Sun (more intriguing missions and ships, I guess)
Edit: OK, Valiant Hearts actually got a sequel named Coming Home in late January 2023, in a different medium that does show the American intervention and thus the end of WW1. Suffice to say, heard it did well.

y'know what, fuck it. Because I feel like it. Some of my tags probably seem random AF to anyone who's looking at them, and I like the stories behind them so I'mma tell some of them and you can't fucking stop me because this is my blog and I do what I want around here.
But I’ll at least shove it under a cut bc it’s longish XD if you want to know about a tag I didn’t mention, there’s an askbox somewhere around here owo
General Tags: Audible Emotion is my music tag, because I have said for almost four decades that music is what emotions sound like.
So Let It Be Written is my positivity tag, because gdi we need this shit and it felt right to use that even if some of the positive stuff in there isn't actually written or a wish, it's just positive, feel-good shit.
Ship Tags: Gunblade, because at one point I think that was the actual ship name for them. Yes I was a Homestuck. No I am not ashamed of this fact. The fandom was a trash fire but the story was damn fucking good.
I Know, because that is one of the rawest, most emotional replies you could give in that context to someone confessing their love and to this day I adore the fact that that was Harrison's idea to say rather than have Han tell Leia he loves her too. Also it just defines their entire relationship.
Shadowed Flame, because Hughes is Roy's shadow and also it sounds damned poetic, fight me.
Mirrors of Wisdom because I stole it from a friend after 'And they were roommates' got old XD And because they are. Haitham himself admits that Kaveh is his perfect mirror [though naturally never to Kaveh's face XD]
Fox and Hound because well -gestures at them- Tighnari is a fox, Cyno is Anubis-coded and his constellation is 'Lupus Aureus' which translates roughly to 'Golden Wolf', I mean come on.
Raining Fire because of Ayato's Burst making it rain in an AOE effect and Thoma being a Pyro user. Also it sounds pretty and it's a very evocative phrase.
Hurricane because I mean have you met them? Anemo plus Hydro with Electro = Storm.
Disarm because of an old Wolfwood AMV set to the song of the same name by the Smashing Pumpkins and, honestly? The more I see of the pair the more that song fucking fits them and it hurts.
Persona Non Grata because I think I'm funny. It's also a dig at Akechi that my Joker would 100% use.
Cross-stitch because that's the actual ship name for them and it's still funny almost ten years later.
Character Tags: Stay Frosty because it just sounds like something Kaeya would say, the smartass.
Hydro Bastard Man because that's what I've been calling Tartaglia for ages and it amuses me.
Anemo Twerp because he's a fucking twerp. Also he uses Anemo, but mostly he's a fucking twerp XD
Stranger in a Strange Land because A: I love the way it sounds and always have, and B: it's what he is.
Little Lost Firefly, because in Japanese her name is Hotaru. Which means Firefly. [His name is Sora, for Sky, if you're curious]
Himboni because well, have you met Itto?
Fallen Captain because it is 100% how he sees himself and I can't think of anything better for Dain. I'm working on it.
Cousin Keiji because my personal P5 Protag is named Keiji, and my sibling's friendgroup has this thing where all their Protags are related [generally various iterations of sibling-hood] so I just declared mine to be a cousin since his last name is Kyouraku rather than either canonical one. Thus, Cousin Keiji.
Wisteria Warrior because one of the kanji in Saitou's name translates to 'Wisteria', and I think it suits Hakuouki!Saitou.
Eyes of Sky because have you seen Gojou Satoru's eyes? They are unfair to the extreme. Also I couldn't think of anything better.
SHSL Average Joe because have you met Hinata Hajime? He's so mediocre he'd get an Honorable Mention at a mediocrity competition. And he knows it.

(61-75 albums etc that I’ve listened to this year, copied from twitter) (now with art. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6])
names and thoughts below cut
61/ PROGedia - Diõscuri (2023) holy shit what is this. prog hip hop? 6???? insane bangers out the gate why is this from R&S? feels like brainfeeder 💯 massive.
---
62/ Sampling Masters - Never Float (2001) this sounds a bit ahead of its time. its not just me right? does this sound like 2001 to you? 2005 maybe… this is a good thing btw
---
63/ VA - D3: Diverse Style from "B" 3rd style Normal (2001) this feels a little dated and amateurish (affectionate) it's a complete mixed bag in style and quality but an all around lovely time. "R4" maybe fav song? there's a lot of good here…
---
64/ VA - D3: Diverse Style from "B" 3rd style Versus (2001) kinda the same story as the "normal" version. maybe a bit weaker overall. the last two tracks are a really strong closer
---
65/ Autechre - AE_LIVE (2016) weird case im not rly including this thoroughly but i found fanmade CUEs and titles for the AE_LIVE releases. so obv i gotta split and organize them. relisten a bit… not to all of it. its cool to have "names" to my favs! (drunk), ceramic, c7b2 slip…
also my least favorite: (rave) get EQ'd gdi
---
66/ Autechre - AE_LIVE 2016/2018 (2020) weird case #2. turns out the newer sets are dif material. fewer beats. it is. RLY GOOD. again with the CUEs and fan IDs, some fav tracks: (flash) holty shit reflected ;_; (cyclone) (2016 ver)!!!!!! "(cosmos) - flute" i could swim in this
---
67/ Herbie Hancock - Future 2 Future (2001) i still have Herbie Hancock associated with like. the old jazz greats. a constellation fixed in the sky. so its wild to me to hear his explorations afterward. smokey jazzy sound sprinkled over breaks and even some bleepy styles. chill.
---
68/ VA - D4: Diverse Style from "B" 4th style (2001) wild variation. putting the diverse in Diverse Style i suppose. im just gonna list some standouts: "Funky Modelling [ATM Remix]" hypnotic! "WOW WOW 220" jf adventure! "manmachine plays jazz [ex.MIX]" classic beat!
---
69/ Initial Y - Dance X 2002 (2001) oh, cheese. i probably shouldve seen that coming based on the artist name. overall not a fan, but also… lol track 6. "Last Regrets -Winter Night Mix-" and (especially) the hidden track are the only ones that truly vibe with me
---
70/ VA - side-c (2001) yeah its another wild ride of genres. im having a good time! standouts: "Believe~Flirtation" sexy garage! "RG14" fun!!! "terrolist_egoist" hits a nostalgic spot "ヒッポカンパス" l u s h, ahead of its time even "雲海に棲む鳥" grasslands rpg vibes!
---
71/ Casiopea - Main Gate (2001) no words just jams
---
72/ Holly Waxwing - The New Pastoral (2023) beautiful and elegant. i feel like i need to study this to learn restraint and intent in design.
---
73/ 4 Hero - Creating Patterns (2001) (i have decided to be extra harsh on dnb albums.) …oh the dnb is stripped back. a sexy jazz fills the space. im still picky about vocals but some of them feel right to me. not quite Groove Aramda but ya. "Eight" is my fav here i think lol
---
74/ VA - Metalheadz Platinum Breakz 03 (2001) (i have decided to be extra harsh on dnb albums.) VA here means Various Alignments with my taste. im far more into the jungle jazzish portions than the darkstep(?). overall: ok. (this is me being harsh)
---
75/ The Railway Raver - You'll Never Get Anywhere By Spending All Day Playing Around With That Bloody Drum Machine (2001) i love railay raver's ear for sound design. id say "gentle synth feel" but this deviates from that a bit. acid tho.

Omg I'm so behind on leaving you any comments about watercolor lately cus I have been so busy 😭 I think the last one I commented on was pre-make out?? Fair warning I cursed a lot while typing this one out 😅 it's a long one, so I hope you're ready lol. So here we go 😊😂
Dreamlike - are you fucking kidding me? 😭 Are you actually fucking kidding me right now? How dare you make me cry with how fucking adorably cute this was! Come here, lean in, you deserve a forehead smooch for this pure perfection! 😘 I loved sooo much about this that I had to go back and reread so I could make more specific comments and not be so vague 😅
the way he couldn't even focus and kept searching for y/n and like literally left Yerim to go get her a drink and instead ended up texting y/n because he had a mini freak out thinking she was making out with Binnie!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! The fact that he debated staying and hooking up after he already told her he was coming and then still left for her!!! Are you freaking serious?? And you still haven't figured it the fuck out by now Hwang??? How thick is this fucking kid 🙄 But the way he fucking smiled thinking about what his friends must have thought of him leaving the party... Stop it 😭 my heart is going to burst!!! The way smiled at her sleeping 😭🥰🥰🥰 the paint on her face and him finding it cute?! 🥲 Btw... What was the painting she fell asleep on, huh??? Hmmmmm 🕵️‍♀️🤔😏 was it maybe one of said Hwang Hyunjin?
Not you finally title dropping on us 😭 Title drops are one of my favorite ways authors do their little nod to the readers 🥰 That perfect moment of clarity for why it got named that way is like 🤌
The paint swapping deal, I see you foreshadowing (I hope lol) 😍 this is such a fucking intimate artist thing to do tho and I am dying right now! Just absolutely dying. I can't wait to see when this comes back up later 😏
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The paint fight into the kiss!!!! 😭😭😭😭 What did you just jump into my dreams of how I want to fall in love again and just rip this right out of my brain?? Like this is movie material! Are you hearing me?!! Or drama worthy! I would watch this k-drama in a heartbeat! 🥰 But the neck painting... It was this ❣️ right? Or was it something else? Or is it a secret??! But the way you wrote the kiss 😭 my single ass was over here flailing around my bed like an idiot, kicking all my sheets to the floor. I want someone to kiss me like that 😅 lmao. But the phone buzzing breaking it up ��😤 gdi!!! Y/n was having her moment!! I swear if it was Yerim interrupting again I'm gonna throw things. Probably just my pillow onto my bed, but I will throw it!!
I 100% expected them to go wash the paint off after they left the art studio, but please for the love of all things Shin Ryujin, tell me that they both walked back to their dorms covered in paint and at least 1 person saw them 😭 I need someone to know what they got up to and have seen the physical evidence 🥲 if you say no, I'm still gonna headcanon that someone did lol 😅💀💀💀
Overall, I loved it. I love you. I get so happy whenever I see you updated 😁 If you update during the day I just keep from reading it and save it as a nice little treat at the end of the day when I'm all comfy and cozy before I go to bed 🤭🥰 I hope you write more of these long written out sections for watercolor! but also no pressure to do so if that's not what you want to do with the story 🥰 I trust you! I don't trust your version of Hwang Hyunjin (yet 😏) but I trust you! 🥰
Snitch - coffee date!!!!!! But fr if someone got oil paint on my favorite sweater I might kill them. Even if it was because of a steamy makeout lol. Reasons why I only paint in clothes I don't care about ruining 😅
Omg not the group chat dragging him, lol he deserves it. Seungmin with the tea about the paint 🤭 puppies always get into the things you don't want them to find lmao. Felix freaking out over them making out is literally me. This was my reaction as well 💀 Changbin and Hyunjin in the made out with y/n club 😏 but Binnie still the only one that's... Well you know, you wrote it 😉 lmao
"stop gatekeeping my cutie" omfg Yongbok 😁😂 I love him so much 😭🥰🥰🥰😭
Tbf that is one fucking adorable picture of Ryujin, her smile is just 😍🥰
So in your head, who had the matcha and who had the chocolate?? Also omg those look sooo fucking delicious 😭 why are there no good cafes around me *sigh* I'm never gonna go on a cute coffee date like this 🥺
Ngl I love the way Changbin just slid in and confirmed the makeout in like no time, while also pointing out Hyunjin is treating her kind of special 🥰 it makes me nervous and excited for her all at the same time lol I love the like flirtatious fwb relationship y/n and binnie have. I know she's gonna end up with Hyunjin, but I still can't help wanting to see more interactions between those two, they're chemistry is so cute!!
Not Hyunjin getting jealous 😅 cute. "don't make me reach over the table and kiss you" 👀👀👀Do it, I dare you! lmao 😂💀 so did they kiss??? Hmmm????
Kicked Out - I left you comments for this one on the post, but I will just reiterate, my pillows are so fucking lumpy now 😭💀 I still don't trust him, but it was so cute how he got all worried about her getting kicked out 🥰 but also God I want some calbee honey butter chips now 🤤 I have never had that flavor but I love their plain chips so much, they are so yummy!! Also he indirectly tweeted about her 👀 so does that mean he doesn't care if the potential hookups see??? Hmmmm???? But also "it's different tho, there are no feelings involved" alright everyone together, ready? 🤦‍♀️
Faithful - 😭😭😭 How is Ryujin soooooo fucking cute 😭😭😭 it's not fair!! My poor bi heart can't take this. I need some warnings next time, I might lose my breath completely and just simply pass away 🥰 and the Pikachu is cute too, but now I just have Changbin's (actual real life Changbin) "pika pika Pikachu!!" stuck him my head in a loop lol, so thanks for that 😅
Hyunjin only day? Bitch if you don't calm the fuck down you might fucking realize you're a simp lmao 😅 it's okay tho, I'm a simp for Ryujin too 🥰 Not the whole gc inviting themselves over for dinner 😂 NOT HAN MAKING IT SOUND LIKE THE FUCKED 😭💀💀💀💀💀 also do I sense a merged group chat in the future??? 😏🤔🤔 "damn y/n, how many guys do you have" 😂😭💀💀💀💀 omfg because two is sooooo many 🥲 still more than me tho lmao
Ooooh Minho being the mom friend and representing all of us readers 😅 I'm so here for it. I hope for everyone's sake he is wrong. I really really do. I don't want to cry because of this story. I will if you take it that way, I know I will, but I won't be happy about it lol. Y/n, babes, it's not delusional, he has started to feel something. Unfortunately he's just a dumbass and he's probably gonna fuck it up before he realizes it 🙃 Minho I love you, but I hate that you have to be so realistic about the situation right now 😭 I am not ready for heartbreak. But also don't hate the implication that she could still hook up with Binnie. All the team Changbin readers just sitting here quietly chanting, "Binnie! Binnie! Binnie!" 🤭💀 lmao
So yay! I finally caught up on comments 🥰💙 I think that took me like an hour or so to type all that up 😅 but you definitely deserved it 👏👏👏 with how much time you must put into every update and how often you update, and how invested I am and how much I love this story, you definitely deserve an hours worth of comments 🥰🥰🥰 I'm looking forward to the next updates. I hope you don't decided to break us 😅 and if you do, I hope you plan on updating the next chapter right away lol. I don't think I could handle the angst and a long cliffhanger 😭🤧
Anyway, I hope you are feeling better 💙💙💙 I hope you aren't suffering from any long term effects from covid! I know you said you were sick on your birthday, but Happy Belated Birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🎁🎁🎁🎈🎈🎂, hopefully you were still able to enjoy it! I hope you are finding ways to entertain yourself now that you've graduated 😊 and I hope you have a good day/night 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙
AHHHHHHHH i'm sorry it took me so long to answer this ask, i was just... appreciating it 🥲
dreamlike~
please i'm so happy that you enjoyed dreamlike and took the time to go back to it just so you could point certain things out, it means the world to me 😭💕
for real tho, it couldn't be any more clear given how he could not focus and would only think of y/n the entire party, like come on hyunjin you're smarter than that 😭😭😭
y/n's painting and what hyunjin drew on her neck are both secrets 🤭 but who knows, maybe we'll find out at some point later in the story 👀
drama worthy please 😭 that is like the ultimate compliment 😭😭😭 and i'm glad that you enjoyed the title dump, ngl i love doing that in my fics lmao so thanks for appreciating it 🤧
"for the love of all things shin ryujin" don't mind me if you ever see me using that on a daily basis. idk i mean it was pretty late but maybe someone did see them 👀 campus is a big place after all
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH, i'm sososo happy that you enjoyed it :( and i do have more written parts planned out! some shorter and some just as long or maybe longer (i won't know until i write them lol) but there are more of them coming, so i'm glad you like them 🥰
snitch~
lmao for real y/n shouldn't have worn her fav sweater to paint to begin with, but in her defense she was knew there would be pretty much no one at the studio and she doesn't tend to get stained all over when she paints... and she was most definitely not expecting to have a make out session with hyunjin or anyone else that night so 💀
ksñajdñajs jinnie and binnie part of the kissing y/n club but jinnie not part of the s*x with y/n club, rip 😔
ryujin's smile i knowwww 😭 can't get tired of looking at that picture, i love her so much istg. in my mind it was y/n the one to get the matcha one... idk if hyunjin is a fan of it irl 👀 waiting for him to tell us one day lol
changbin's fwb relationship with y/n is so fun to write 😭 and you're valid lmao i remember there was a time even i started shipping them 💀 but i am loyal to hyunjin, we in a hyunjin au rn.
jealous hyunjin is just >>>>>>>> and it was kind of an open ending so 👀 whether they ended up kissing or not it's up to you on this one 👀
kicked out~
yesss, i remember your comment 🥰 he does worry about her and he's a cutie for that :(
omg i've never had those chips at all, i don't think we have them here ksñajs but they do look so good i wish i could try them
he did indirectly tweet about her 👀 ig we'll find out whether he is ready or not to let go of his potential hookups soon... hopefully he is
faithful~
DUDE FR IDK MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT EITHER 😭😭😭😭 i had not been this bi since kaya scodelario and hayley williams istg.
"bitch if you don't calm the fuck down you might fucking realize you're a simp" LMAOOOO the way i laughed omg jsñajdñs. he was bold af for that one tho, props to him 💀
merged group chat in the future... that does sound very interesting... we'll see if they all become that close at some point 👀
honestly at this point it would be better for everyone's sake and not just only y/n's for him to be wrong... let's hope he is so no one ends up hurt :/ and that hyunjin won't fuck up before he realises his fucking feelings. we'll see which turn i take with this story 😇 thanks for being open minded about it jsñaksña.
oof, hyunjin would not be happy if she still had the fwb thing going on with binnie... but yeah i can hear you all ynbin shippers cheering on it lmao
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT ON ALL PARTS OMG??? the dedication i'm just 😭😭😭😭 i lost count of how many times i've read this ask lmao, and i couldn't bring myself to answer it for some reason 🥲
like i said, we'll see what turn i decide to take with this story 👀 so i won't comment on that bc i'm afraid i could spoil you guys jdñajs
thanks for the belated birthday wish 🥺 it sucked to be quarantined during it but my friends and family have already made it up to me 🤧💖
once again thank you so muchhhh, i don't have enough words to thank you :( i hope you're havingg a great week, lovie 🥰

su half agate si au 3: amnesiac chaos trio mae aka i need a shorter name for the tf2 mae au that still emphasizes that she got amnesia
summary & ramblings between me & atlas under the cut!
Basically mae takes a big hit to her head & a little to her gem (which may or may not be related to Medic fiddling w it when they find her & stopping immediately when it starts to crack like "oopsie", haven't decided yet), loses all her memories past landing in the danvs universe & giving less shits/relapsing into depression self-destructive habits, is taken in by the mercenaries, and then is super suspicious when apollo & dan show up to rescue zer
ath: SHE GETS IT ALL BACK EVENTUALLY BUT NOT BEFORE WHEN THEY COME FIND HER & ARE AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS/OPPOSE THE MERCS SHE GETS SUSPICIOUS & AGGRESSIVE AND THEN SHE HAS A NIGHTMARE ABT THE TWO GROUPS HURTING/KILLING EACH OTHER PERMANENTLY & IS LIKE "WHY WAS THAT UPSETTING I DIDN'T EVEN KNO--HMMMMM"
atlas: EVIL!!! ABSOLUTELY DETESTABLE/LH YOU KNOW APOLLO FUCKS THE MERCS UP A FEW TIMES BEFORE THEY GIVE UP ON KILLING HIM AND MAE IS LIKE "STOP HURTING MY FRIENDS!!!" AND DAN IS LIKE "YEAH! STOP HURTING US!" "WHO TF ARE YOU TWO?? YOU'RE NOT MY FRIENDS, I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU!!"
ath: KJFSDGFKLJG YEAH EXACTLY!!!! LSDJGK MAE, WELL-VERSED IN STORY CLICHES AND HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE APPLIED TO HER LIFE(COUGH COUGH ENTIRE SU SERIES COUGH COUGH): NICE FUCKING BRAINWASHING TRY, PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEARLY MY ENEMIES JUST TRYING TO GET ME ON THEIR SIDE!!
and then later back at the base she's like "that scrungly guy was kinda cute tho" engineer: what adjective did you just use to describe him??????
atlas: JDSFHJKSDFGHJKHSDGJHSDGSDHFGSHJDFG apollo, leaning towards dan and whispering: should i tell her that i can actually control minds? JKHGDFJHGSDFJHGSDFHGFS ENGIE JUST "what in tarnation"
ath: JFJDSLKJGLKJH Dan: Don't see why not SPY JUST WALKING BY GOING "what horrid ""tumblr"" phrase did you spew at him this time"
atlas: SLAJKDHJUKASDFGJHDFGGHJDFGHGJDFGHSJDFGGHSDF Apollo, just boosting up his 'charm', walking towards Mae with a cocky grin: oh sweetheart, if i wanted to mind control you, i already would've done it. <3 KJHDSFKJHSDGFJHSGFDJFGSDJHDGF "i just said the scrungly guy was cute!!!" ".....which one is that supposed to be?"
ath: Mae, finger and thumb on her chin: As terrifying at that statement is, it is true. *grins rudely* You especially coulda done it when i was beating your ass earlier.
"bsdf--wha--THE SCRUNGLY ONE OBVIOUSLY!! WITH THE SCRUFF AND SCRUNGLE!!"
atlas: APOLLO JUST WHEEZING AND SPUTTERING BC GDI, HE LOVES THIS ASSHOLE/POS "OHHH, the short, irate one with bad facial hair?" "HES CUTE!! IN A SCRUNGLY WAYYYY!"
ath: SDL;GKHSGH YEAH AND HER GRIN'S LIKE. BARELY MENACING BC SHE'S CLEARLY SO PROUD OF HERSELF FOR THE ROAST/POS JSHGKLJSF LKMAOOOO MAE GETS HARASSED FOR AHVING MEDIOCRE TASTE/J/LH
atlas: APOLLO KNOWS HER TOO WELL!!!!!!!!/LH/HJ ADHKDDJKDDHJDF MAE POINTING AT A PICTURE OF AMBROSE: if my taste is bad, what does it make yours?
ath: YEAH!!!!
KDGJNJFGKFDSLJGKFG SPY JUST SPUTTERS
atlas: SPY CAUGHT IN 4K
So basically Mae gets taken in by the blu mercs, they become fond of each other, she graduates from on-base intern to in-battle backup to a scout(they nickname her Flanker or Midfielder to tell the two scouts apart), sometime along the way they meet Apollo & Dan, and then the events of the comics happen after the chaos trio gets separated again by some plot device or another. Also zhe definitely fuses with Scout at one or more points, and maybe some other mercs.

I was just reading this and let's break it down
First of all we have the pit fall and struggle of all real long term relationships. TS doesn't give us bullshit reasoning for a break up. It's a realistic push and pull between someone and their own identity as they struggle to settle down in their mid to late twenties.
Hes not getting what he needs and he doesn't seem to know what he wants: it's natural and human to be confused in relationships. I think a lot of the hate towards this arc comes from the desire to see the ship together rather than to see the characters grow as individuals. Star is still growing in his confidence of his wants and needs and he's allowed to do that. This backwards step is allowed and permissible in character growth. In fact we usually see this right before someone has major changes and makes positive growth in their life.
Characters aren't static tbh I'd rather have a dynamic relationship being portrayed.
And boy is this dynamic because get me a large popcorn Ric is dragging him.
He acknowledges seeing Star earlier when Star stopped by signaling he needed Ric. But he put up a boundary and said no and continued his life.
I could write pages on how great Rictor is at boundaries like he's the king of boundaries when he wants to be (and then sucks when he doesn't tbh but shhh strengths focus here)
I always read that line from rictor about the posters in a teeth grinding annoyed voice. In a: ' can't you see I have a life and you aren't the center of it you asshole.'
It's a push back. Its healthy. It's maintaining the boundary of ' if you say I can't give you what you need then don't come to me when you need things.'
I also love the indication that the power release wasn't intentional because it relates back to the headcanon of ric having a tic disorder and that's dear to my heart. But I also feel it lends some emotional weight to the piece that shows just how deeply he cares and wants to be there for Star- who he is begrudgingly calling Ben and respecting Stars choice to have a new identity BTW like how fucking nice is that?
He isn't making fun of stars new identity or name he's supporting him. Like gdi ricstar is so great. He obviously doesn't like it and has some feelings there but he isn't forcing Star to be Star he's addressing him as 'Ben' with the quotations . Indicating there's a difference in how they've been handling the switch between Star and Ben.
Trying out different names and identities is very positive and common and I don't think this is a bad thing. I think inherently Star needed to explore life as Ben and that it's beautiful Ric was supporting him even if he personally accepted Star for who he was no matter what name he called himself.
Ric was willing to go with Star with whatever name he wanted to try or use until he was comfortable with himself. He was there to support him. It was Star that iced him out through a trauma response- normal for a real world relationship and great writing for a comic one.
Honestly the nuanced character development here is fantastic for both Ric and Star and pets them shine brilliantly. I only wish we had a Rictor solo series for this timeline to compliment it.
Yeah gasp I would want a Rictor solo series around this timeline or maybe post krakoa or maybe even M day time line.
TS saw Rictors character and gave him the boost up that he deserves and let him shine. He gave him so much development and it's a damn shame it's being overcast by people who are more interested in counting active couples than they are about the personhood of actual Queer characters and their life stories.
I sometimes wonder what would happen if we began to acknowledge the fetishization of two Queer men for being what it is: problematic even if we are LGBTQIA qnd doing the action I ourselves. Gay and Bisexual relationships are not a product to be consumed and the majority of Rictor fans are lesbians (not all but that's the running joke). I think it's important to reflect on how yaoi and Boys love influence how we in the LGBTQIA population view other same sex relationship and view them as a product to consume and fall into the same traps and toxic behaviors.
There's a lot to say on this and I'm not sure where I'm heading. but this one page holds so many little tidbits that show great writing and character building.
It's okay if people don't like the story. There's stuff wrong with it just like there is any other piece of media. But if they don't like it just because the guys aren't together then there needs to be a reflection on how you consume LGBTQIA media. This whole solo series was a love letter for them and a testament to Star building a life for himself and Ric.

"He got to use their megaphone, and they also had some time to occasionally (briefly) stop and look at some of the animals. While he was terrified at first, this girl had apparently fed him some fancy ice cream, calmed him down, and then drove around the park in one of their vehicles, as they were yelling/searching for our parents," she explained. "He was gone for a good while but was very properly taken care of by a friendly Zookeeper.

A vender had me stay at his area until I was found," recounted one. Others shared their own stories of being lost as a child. "Poor little guy looks terrified… he won't lose his dad again I bet," said one.

Many Reddit users were impressed with the crowd's solution, with one saying: "It worked!!! A memory for a lifetime." Reddit is a network of communities where people can dive into their interests, hobbies and passions. Thx, G problems? Tell us about it on AskWoody. No harm, no foul - and know that it’ll be fixed (finally!) when the next version of Win10 hits. So if you see that G is keeping you from shutting down, just go ahead and manually override it. And sometimes the invisible window that gets chosen is the one named “G”. But if the program has no visible windows, then the BSDR will take any window belonging to the program, visible or not.
#Reditr fullscreen windows#
When a program prevents you from signing out or shutting down, Windows looks for a visible window belonging to that program and uses that to represent it in the Blocked Shutdown Resolver (BSDR) screen. The window was there to do things like listen for WM_ SETTINGS­CHANGE messages so it knew when to invalidate its caches. A few years ago, the GDI+ team did a little cleanup, and one of the things they did was get rid of support for Windows 98 and Windows Me. The lack of Unicode support in the helper window didn’t really cause a problem because the window never displayed any UI and never processed any text. Therefore, it was compiled as ANSI and consequently used the ANSI versions of functions like Register­Class, like Create­Window, and Def­WindowProc to create and manage its helper window. Īt the time the GDI+ library was written, it needed to support Windows 98, which had very limited support for Unicode. Raymond Chen, one of my favorite Microsoft explainers, has a detailed (if weighty) discussion on the Developer Blog. It’s a bug in the way the Blocked Shutdown Resolver pulls the name of the program blocking a shutdown, and “G” may result when there’s a GDI+ program (a program that draws stuff on the screen) that turns belly up as you’re shutting down. General consensus on Reddit, and elsewhere, is that the afflicted machines are running malware of some sort or another. I easily found six complaints on Reddit ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ) going back two years. In fact, people have been “reaching out” to Microsoft about this bug for years. We investigated and found an issue where windows related to GDI+were only referenced as “G.” We’ve fixed this, so going forward, these will now have the name “GDI+ Window ()”, where will show the. Some of you have reached out about when trying to shutdown, seeing a message saying that an app named “G” was preventing shutdown. The KB article associated with the first Windows Insider beta build 19013 release says:

@ asoiaf fandom: the day you stop treating jon like some kind of inflating doll and/or the lottery reward for Your Fave Character in Your Favorite Ship and realize that he actually has a personality and a storyline and that he’s not there to fulfill everyone else’s prophecies that’ll be a great day and it can’t come too soon thank you very fucking much

If Kate still names her Oops!Baby after Mary, I will rage. Book Mary absolutely deserves that honor, but Show Mary was a terrible mother. Idc if Mary loved her in the end—if your stepdaughter felt that she had to earn your love, it’s because you failed at parenting.
I don't think they're gonna do Oops!Baby tbh.
I would love it if they did, but I don't think we're gonna get it. Or if we do Kate will name her after Violet (WHICH IS A BIG NO CAUSE THEY ALREADY STOLE ENOUGH FROM BENOPHIE GDI).
But I do hope we get their three kids: Edmund, Miles, and Charlotte/Chandra.
and as for the other matter:
Mary definitely loved Kate, you can see it from the very moment they step onscreen (god bless Shelley Conn the actors really out here doing the most). She looks at Kate the same way she looks at Edwina, I think it's Kate's personal insecurities that get in the way of her believing that Mary truly loves her.
I suspect that when Kate was growing up she heard no shortage of stories regarding her mother's love affair with her father and how she was looked down upon for not being their natural born child. And most of it was probably from Englishmen who were colonizing the country and trying to impose certain standards or members of society that thought Mary's story was romantic af. Mary's grief and absence may have played a factor in Kate feeling like she had to earn her love, but I think most of it comes from the fact that Kate herself does not feel worthy enough for any kind of love because of all the comments about her birth she internalized.
Kate's insecurity and desire to earn her family's love stems from, I think, that same fear of being seen as irrelevant. With her father dead, she no longer has ties to Mary and Edwina and probably worries they will cast her aside because of the circumstances of her birth. So she makes herself useful so they can't throw her out.
At least, that was my interpretation of it. Mary Sharma is a good mom the show just didn't give her the scenes she needed to show it.
