im so tired of sterek fics where derek is like really mean or just aloof to stiles until they get together. do you have an recs where derek is just a sweetheart who's always soft on stiles even before they get together?
Here's softboi!derek.
Tumblr media
let me take care of you by honestlydarkprincess
(1/1 I 1,1311 I Teen)
Stiles couldn’t do anything but stare at the alpha werewolf as he rambled while unloading the aforementioned supplies from the grocery bag to Stiles’ counter.
Nothing Stiles was seeing made sense.
Why was Derek here, in his apartment, with cold medicine and fucking soup?
Or, the one where Derek comes over to take care of a sick Stiles. They talk about their moms and confess some feelings. It's all very soft.
An Anchor for the Storm by andthwip
(1/1 I 3,246 I Mature)
Derek's the only person Stiles can turn to.
Give Me Shelter by WonderWolf
(1/1 I 8,295 I Teen)
I don’t make a good impression, I know,” Derek grumbles. “It’s fine. I get it.”
“Noooo,” Stiles groans in frustration, “but it isn’t fair because you’re not that guy, you’re not an asshole and you give cats punny names so they have a better chance at being adopted.”
“Who told you I named the cats?” Derek asks, his brows scrunching together in confusion.
“Scott,” Stiles smirks. “My favorite so far was Purrsephone.”
(Or the one in which Derek and Stiles both volunteer at an animal shelter, Derek works with cats and gives them punny names, Stiles works with the dogs, and misunderstandings ensue).
If It Means a Lot to You by Nier
(1/1 I 9,356 I Teen)
His mom had told him about mates in the past. Derek would often come home and just hear stories about how his parents had met and fallen for each other, how they had gotten together after learning about what they truly meant to one another.
He was a kid when she told him all this, so it didn't really make much sense to him at the time. All he could do was sit there on the edge of her bed, listening as his mother talked about how love is an act of courage. If you don't take that first step, then everything else is impossible too.
Set a Song for Me by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) 
(1/1 I 11,573 i Teen)
“You did a favour for a stranger?” the sheriff asked, surprised. “You won’t even do a favour for me.”
“Your favours involve chocolate and salty snacks, damn straight I won’t do you any favours,” Stiles insisted, pointing an accusatory finger at his dad while leaning back against the counter, taking another large sip of coffee. “Some guy lost his phone and was calling it hoping someone would answer. That someone was me. He said he’d had some drinks and couldn’t come grab it right then, so we agreed to meet at the station this morning. I didn’t realize ‘this morning’ meant the ass crack of dawn.”
“It’s not the ass crack of dawn, that was at five thirty-seven, according to the weather app on my phone.”
Stiles let out a sarcastic laugh and flipped his dad off. The sheriff gave him a look, but he didn’t reprimand him, clearly able to tell Stiles was miserable.
Love At It's Purest by AbsolutelyNot2801
(12/? I 24,218 I Mature)
Sometimes Derek does things that makes Stiles think his crush is not completely one-sided, like gentle touches, soothing words and embraces like the one they were in that morning. And then he goes and does something stupid like getting a stupid girlfriend like Jennifer. It’s not because of Jennifer at all really. She’s lovely. But Stiles can’t help the hint of jealousy when he sees the loving gazes and soft, shy smiles.
And this is his step-brother he’s talking about. His step-brother! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or a fic in which Stiles and Derek can’t help falling in love with each other. But there's a problem, they're step brothers. A fic with angst, feels and a happy ending.
The Spaz and the Sourwolf by TheRealDanniX
(9/9 I 24,674 I Teen)
When Stiles comes across something he shouldn't in the Preserve he ends up on four legs. Not that anyone in the Pack knows it's him. He's just hoping they can figure it out before anything else bad happens.
This Is Not Who I'm Supposed to Be by Anonymous
(11/11 I 24,932 I Teen)
After Stiles' friends get shot, the fox runs away from his home. He runs far enough that the white snow changes into green gras, and his white fur feels heavier than ever underneath the shining sun. Talia Hale and her family find him and she helps him turn back into human, something he hasn't been in years, and he has to learn how to be human again with the help from Derek. He realizes that life isn't easy. Not as human and not as a supernatural creature. Especially not when hunters are back in town.
shatter like glass, come apart in my hands by cosmicayan
(15/? I 47,107 I Mature)
The one in which Stiles goes missing for three months and then suddenly, out of nowhere, he turns up at the door of the Hale House, confusing himself, Derek, and literally everyone else.
Oh, yeah, and he has no memory of what happened to him (or, at least, no conscious memory).

seeing that Laura drabble post made me imagine stuff, like- darling wakes up tied up only to find laura getting all flustered and blushy as soon as they do, she probably will just ramble about how she loves them and how they were meant to be together but it was almost inaudible for darling to hear what she's saying.
and to be honest, that one dude does have a lot of friends in his workplace, they're all really close too, but he's a lot closer to this brunette girl who's his childhood best friend xd (welp, looks like their time hanging out together will be gone, and it'll just go to him hanging out with chase instead if he has free-time)
— 👾
Somehow I have a feeling that Chase would ensure that one dude doesn’t spend much time with his childhood friend much more - if at all 😬 Chase would definitely get a little jealous that she gets his attention, although he’d never willingly admit he was jealous.
As for Laura, that’s exactly what she’d do - she’d have the guts to kidnap her darling with expertise but then still somehow be too shy to talk directly to them lol.
Tumblr media
TW: Stalking, obsession, kidnapping, drugging, restraint, unhealthy parasocial relationship
You wake up slowly, groggily. Every single one of your senses returns one by one as you struggle out of your stupor. First, it’s your hearing - you hear some shuffling, as if someone is moving stuff around, accompanied by a quiet whimper or squeal of excitement. Then your feeling and smell return, and you become aware you’re on a cold, hard laminate floor, but it seems that blankets and cushions have been placed around you in an attempt to make you more comfortable. Your wrists ache and chafe against some kind of restraint that’s slightly too tight around them. A slightly musty scent hangs in the air, but it’s overpowered by some sort of cheap, chemically air freshener that gave you a headache - or perhaps it was the drugs you were recovering from that caused that? You weren’t sure. Finally, you managed to peel your eyes open, blinking away stale tears that blurred your vision. You hear another excited giggle and you try to hold your head up.
As your vision comes into focus, the room becomes clearer. It seems as though you’re in the bedroom of some small apartment. There’s barely enough room, and what room is there is cluttered by furniture and merch. Plastered on every wall you see posters of your idol band, your bandmates and yourself smiling back at you in glossy photos. There are shelves filled with your albums, and photocards dotted everywhere, stuck to any surface where there was room. You can faintly hear some music playing, and you glance over to see a PC on a desk, youtube open on the music video for a song you wrote. It seems like insult to injury - you weren’t particularly proud of that song and knew you could have written it better, yet here it was, another piece of this strange shrine to you, and in the middle of it all, sat on the floor in front of you, was Laura.
She was grinning, her face flushed bright red and she used the sleeve of her jumper to hide her face. She couldn’t take her eyes off of you. As she notices your gaze finally falling upon her, she mumbles something, but you can’t hear it.
“What?” You croak, your throat sore and dry.
“I s-said I… I can’t believe that you are- that you really are…” She stuttered on for a while, trying to get the sentence out but still making little sense, and while perhaps you could have figured it out, your mind was still too sluggish. She continues on regardless of your confused expression.
“I really, really liked - no, loved - no I do love you. Love. I love you. Like, a l-lot. I did, I always did.” You stare at her, your confusion overpowering the instinct for fear. You try to raise your hands, feeling pins and needles from the restraints.
“Oh, erm, yes, I know, it’s uh… they’re uh…” She went back to mumbling incoherently.
“What?” You repeat. The grogginess is quickly turning to nausea.
“I…” Laura takes a shaky breath, fidgeting and clearly getting agitated by her own inability to get over her anxiety, although how someone that anxious could go through with something as risky as kidnap, you weren’t sure.
“We are meant to be together!” She blurts out suddenly, and you only look at her with more bewilderment, feeling uneasy about her clear obsession as well as unsure about what that statement had to do with anything she was trying to say before. You flex your hands, focusing on getting feeling back into them. Laura’s face drops in disappointment when she didn’t get the reaction she wanted from you. Her face grows redder as her brow furrows in frustration and she babbles some more, all of it sounding like gibberish or a string of words fragments. Eventually she gives up mid sentence and roars in frustration, picking up a pillow and throwing it at the wall with a heavy thud. Then, she stands up and runs to the door where she pauses for a second.
“Ineedaminutetocalmdown,” she mutters, before slamming the door, leaving you trapped alone inside her bedroom.

Baby
When We Were Young Masterlist Summary: Louis tells YN that he is going to be a Dad.
"I'm gonna be a Dad...she's having my baby"
YN wasn't sure if the words that stumbled out of Louis's mouth were a joke or if this was just extra confirmation that there was no future for them. She knew she was the one who ended their relationship a couple of months ago, but being together for four years she never expected him to move on so quickly, she couldn't even do the math - it was all too much. Sure, she had seen some photos of them together, leaving parties and on nights out, but she wasn't expecting him to have a baby with another woman.
She could feel the lump in her throat rise and the tears threaten to spill, but she fought hard against them and instead smiled brightly at the boy she loved in front of her "I..um..I'm sure you'll be an amazing Dad..congratulations Lou..I wish you both all the best with your little family" the words made her feel queazy, sure she meant them but that did that make it hurt any less? No.
"YN..you don't need to pretend you're not angry at me..in fact, I want you to shout and scream at me telling me how much of an idiot I am" Louis pleaded, rubbing his face in stress.
YN shrugged her shoulders "What's the point in doing that?...It's not going to change anything...you're going to be a Dad and have a family regardless of how I react"
"You..I..uh.." Louis stuttered before he tried again "Me and Briana..we're not together..we never were-"
"Lou..look it's none of my business"
"But you deserve to know...it was just a drunken thing..you know it was never meant to be more than that...we're not gonna be a family...we'll co-parent when the baby is here" Louis explained.
"Sounds like you've got it all planned" YN politely smiled, before she stood from where she sat and made her way towards the door.
"YN..wait" Louis called after her, making her freeze when he spoke the next few words "I love you..you know that"
She wanted to turn around her and run into his arms like a fairytale but it just wasn't the case. So she took a deep breath and turned to face Louis with a sad smile "I'll always love you Lou...but I just don't think we're meant to be any more"
Before Louis had the chance to respond, YN left the room heading towards her dressing room where she could let her tears flow freely. As she opened the door, she was taken back when she saw Harry pacing up and down, almost like he was waiting for her.
"Harry what are you doing..you knew he was going to tell me?" YN asked as she saw his sympathetic smile.
"Thought you could do with a cuddle" Harry spoke, opening his arms for her. That's what YN loved about Harry, he always knew when someone needed a shoulder to cry on. She was so grateful to have another brother.
After YN had cried into arms and had now calmed down slightly "There was so much I wanted to say in there"
"How about you tell me instead..you know so you get it all out" Harry suggested.
"He said she was having his baby..and then rambled on about how they're not together..I told him it's none of my business" YN shook her head as she thought about their conversation "What did he expect..me to magically jump back into his arms..I don't think so...I bet she faked her orgasm" YN said so bluntly, making Harry choke on his breath.
"Fucking e'll YN" Harry laughed.
"Sorry..I shouldn't have said that..I don't want to be mean but Louis a prick"
"Hey..you're just hurt and angry right now...which is understandable...we all say things in the moment"
"Could be a good song you know" YN changed her whole mood.
Harry raised his eyebrows "How?"
"I don't know" YN thought for a moment, before she spoke again "What about something like...She's having my baby..It's none of my business..She's having my baby..It's none of my, it's none of my...It's New York, baby, always jacked up...Holland Tunnel for a nose, it's always backed up...When she's alone, she goes home to a cactus..In a black dress, she's such an actress"
"I like it...maybe it could be one for next album" Harry said with a sarcastic smile.
"Uh..yeah not going to happen..I think it would be pretty obvious" YN laughed, until she thought of an idea "It's all yours though..if you ever want to use it"
"Oh thanks" Harry sarcastically laughed at her suggestion "Not sure what I'm gonna do with a verse about you calling Louis and his baby mama out"
"Just don't forget to put me in the credits" YN joked.

I was asked a while back by @catygwen01 to do more Opal analysis, so I wanted to touch upon the grandfather's music sequence and overall character. Imo, he is another fantastic example of showing instead of telling.
What is most interesting are the two traits that give him the same fatal flaws as the rest of the family, including Claire: the use of escapism as a crutch and loneliness.
The only difference? The grandfather's flaws are the most extreme.
Tumblr media
If Claire is the beginning of the cycle of abuse (childhood), to Mirror Man (young adulthood), to the mom (middle age adulthood), then the grandfather is the end. (elderhood).
--
When we first meet the grandfather, with just a few frames, we can tell two things right away. The person living here is sick and is living in a state of chaos. This is shown with the endless tissues and later when he coughs.
Tumblr media
In the following sequence, we can immediately tell he is desperate for attention. So much that he has convinced himself (and tried to convince Claire) that the world revolves around him.
He thinks Claire is hiding his cigarettes because she worries too much; he rambles about her and "the people on television," being obsessed with him. And his song is the icing on the cake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Within the first two frames, it is revealed that he wants to leave his dying body to be elevated. He is trapped, and his anchor, Claire, is there to serve him his death. (In his mind)
And his ticket out? His cigarettes. And the world of television is his idea of heaven.
Tumblr media
(The many eyes represent, as said by wiki: subhuman, divine omniscience, or a gateway to the soul. Or, in this case, the grandfather wants to be beyond this world. And the song itself is his soul's desires.)
Tumblr media
As revealed earlier, he thinks it's evil to hide his cigarettes ("help") because she is prolonging his hell on earth. He wants to be somewhere where it's "easier to breathe" (to live).
Tumblr media
Like Mirror Man does with his reflections, and Claire with her sign, his ideal world is where he is seen as important and likable. He wants his very soul to be desirable; to be fought over by those who are valuable to society.
Tumblr media
He rempathizes that he "wants a smoke" when he is surrounded by what he thinks are beautiful women; they're the pinnacle of what he wants: to be admired and loved, and to be seen as so significant that others echo what he says.
The next frame further proves these concepts. His lungs, as seen emerging from many broken televisions, are his key to reaching his heaven. They surround him like angel's wings.
The women cheer him on, as if luring him like sirens to his death.
Tumblr media
Finally, when the song ends, he is convinced that Claire is someone else. While his smell might be off, I think this further reveals how disconnected he is to reality.
Tumblr media
He can’t recognize his own granddaughter, the only person he spends time with on a regular basis. He has become beyond detached. There is no helping him now.

i often think of how different your writing style is to your fellow writers, and I wonder if you are very picky about what you consume/read because of it.
Do you often venture outside of your own writing style to read fics that are different and yet, good? If yes, would you recommend them?
It's interesting thinking about style because it is obviously subjective and very personal to each writer. I like to think I have quite a distinct voice as a writer and fanfiction has really helped me settle into that after not writing anything for a long time.
I think you learn a lot from the stories around you, if it's fics, books, movies, plays, history, music, whatever, especially when you branch out of your own style or comfort zone. I love exploring other people's writing and comparing it to my own, seeing what details they focus on, how they describe people and settings. I think essentially, the most important thing for me as a reader/consumer of media is that the story and the characters are interesting. As long as you've got a good story (and smut and yearning and pining), I'm happy.
I've specifically thought this about Sam (@randomdragonfires) and Justine's (@theoneeyedprince) writing, that they're very different to mine but that's why I love reading their fics. They both have a really classic, poetic feel to their writing, and internal, if that makes sense? I personally struggle with internal monologue because that's just not how my brain works, I think I focus a lot more on actions and dialogue. But that all really lends itself to the stories they tell, love you guys 🥺❤️
Also Ange @ewanmitchellcrumbs is one of my favs on here because the level of detail and the subtleties that go into her fics make for such immersive stories. Her writing feels very grounded and real and I really admire that about her. And her dedication to character is something I really appreciate 🥰
I have some more specific recs just because I wanted to ramble about some fics I like. Also because it's me, these are all a bit DD;DNE
I could see your shadow in the water (beneath the castle where you broke my heart) by Rueluxxx This is a fem!Lucerys fic told from the pov of Aemond and Lucerys' son. It's not a love story at all, it's very traumatic. But THE REASON WHY I am obsessed with this fic is the tragedy of loving someone and never being able to make amends. Aemond reaches a point where he realises how much he's made his wife suffer and starts living in this delusion where he tries to win her back but it will never be enough. They loved each other as children, they work well together as rulers, they have their own children now, and she will always do her duty as his wife, but no matter how hard Aemond tries, Lucerys will never want him. Chapter 6 in particular broke my heart, some of the best dialogue I've read.
Moon Song by @randomdragonfires We're following a pattern here of Aemond's doomed marriages but this was made specifically for me!! This focuses on Aemond's guilt after he murders Luke at Storm's End, only to come back home to his wife, Luke's twin sister. I love how this fic creates the juxtaposition of Aemond's suffering and guilt, how he still longs for a relationship with his wife and is haunted by the image of her twin brother. And it's told from his pov so you're left wondering about his wife's lingering longing and hatred, if she wants to salvage their marriage, if she fears him and just wants to appease him? Anyway, Aemond feels like he's losing her to the brother he murdered, and no spoilers but the ending is WOW.
Rumours by @adragonprinceswhore Oh boy, another failed marriage. Fun fact about Inka, she actually owns my soul. I'm so emo for Fleetwood Mac and this fic combines my two favourite things to ever exist. Despite definitely being in the wrong here, Aemond is my favourite character in this, his struggle to express his own feelings and the love he had/still has for his ex-wife. He feels betrayed because she left him, guilty because he hurt her, and the way the music is woven into this just adds a whole other level of emotion. AND HE WAS THE ONE TO WRITE STORMS??? I can't deal. "I'm your family now, Aemond." Liar. Will never not get me.
Ok that's all I have for you, ta ra x

i'm back! holds out hands. 🌠🎶and/or❓for chevon, perhaps?
hello again!!
ty for the questions, glad you like Chevon <3 as usual, im gonna go deranged rambling about this, so everything is put under the cut to avoid clogging everyone's dash
Tumblr media
🌠: What is their Afflatus? Why are they associated with that Afflatus?
Tumblr media
(I posted these profiles for all members in the spina venatores masterpost if anyone wants to check)
Chevon is a Star arcanist - this thread here (consider giving it a read, its very interesting! a few mutuals of mine wrote it!) talks about how Star arcanists either hide or show themselves to the world, but I like to think that their shared quality that makes them STAR arcanists instead of any other type of Afflatus is that dreamy-like vibe they have going on
They're all characters who have their eyes set on really big goals, who can easily be described as peculiar or quirky because they don't seem quite "down to earth" - I just woke up so I don't know how to explain it in detail but!! They're dreamy-like but very strong in their convictions; Regulus' passion for music, living the life of a radio pirate which is a whole adventure on its own; Baby Blue's love for Wonderland, to the point where she rejects reality to live the life of her dreams; Matilda, who wants nothing more than to be the best, to the point where it literally looks like she's living in a different genre of game altogether than the rest of characters like Sonetto or Vertin...
Star arcanists, to me, are stars themselves - they burn bright and sometimes their fire may fade out, but there's no denying that they all lead extremely unique lives, that they all feel so very far away because of their convictions, morals or goals. There ARE aspects of concealing and hiding like the thread talks about, but I feel like that could be recontextualized better as a disconnect between their reality and their ideal way of life.
I'll probably regurgitate and rewrite this better in my writing blog, but characters like Blonney, Charlie and Voyager - there's that disconnect. Blonney, who pretended to be someone she's not in more ways than one but whose passion for horror was the indirect catalyst for the WHOLE event in 1.2. Charlie, who does NOT have the heart nor confidence for theatre, but who becomes an entirely different person on stage. Voyager, who is an actual fucking alien, the disconnect can't get any more literal with her.
So in the context of Chevon being a Star arcanist, I like to think that all of this applies!
His whole thing is that the disconnect between his body and his heart, the way he was born as and the way he feels like, are unbearable. He's one huge metaphor for being transgender, but his character focuses more on the dysmorphia rather than the dysphoria! The feeling of massive dissatisfaction with one's body, not due gender, but because none of it matches the idea in your head
This is a lot of word vomit to say that Chevon developed an arcanum that could allow him NOT to change his body and shapeshift like Veal does, BUT to transfer his consciousness into someone else's body. That's why his medium is "Rebirth".
He's a Star arcanist because he's fully convinced that there is a way to preserve life in a perfect state between life and death, as to never die and never truly live. He has this dreamy quality to him, like he knows something you don't but is very polite about it, a gentle and a little whimsical vibe that clearly tells you this guy is not to be trusted, but you'll take the risk anyway because of the allure and the softness he has. But that's only because of his appearance, the most recent body that he stole - because his personality is just as rotten as the rest of Spinas.
🎶: What’s a song you associate with them? (And why?)
SO FAR I ONLY HAVE... TWO PLAYLISTS, one for Venison and another for the general vibe of Spina Venatores - BUT. BUT. I know that the songs I'll assign to Chevon need to have this very specific vibe to them
One that comes to mind right away is "Flood on the Floor - Purity Ring" - it has that VIBE and the lyrics vaguely remind me of Chevon's dynamic with Necrologist, the one person who had to constantly "bury" him over and over as he perfected his body-hopping arcanum. I like to think that a LOT of the tombstones in her museum are from his many different, short-lived identities
❓: Free space! Make up any question you want, or just say a fun fact about them!
Ohh, I'd like to talk about Chevon's relationship with the other members of Spina Venatores but I think that would take. SO LONG. hmm. I'll settle for a fun fact then!
All members of Spina Venatores have ONE single detail that is never disclosed nor that they ever want to remember, which is essentially the root of their entire character - for Venison, it's their full birth name. For Mutton, is the first woman she loved and married. For Poultry, it's her roots and life as a human. For Veal, it's their original voice.
For Chevon, it's his original appearance - his "first life" so to speak, everything related to it. His gender, his skin color, his hair, his eyes, all of it is lost.
This single detail is something that all members have willingly discarded, forgot or avoid even thinking about to extreme measures, it's the root of their denial. It's also the one thing that each character related to them (Pavia for Venison, Schneider's sister for Mutton, Necrologist for Mutton, etc) knows.
When it comes to Chevon's original life and body, Necrologist is the last person alive who knows how he used to look. She was there when they took his lifeless body and she designed the tombstone for him herself. I like to think that she spend many, many months waiting to hear from his spirit, his last regrets and final wishes, but he never appeared - not sure how it goes from here, or how this affects their relationship in detail, but yeah! <3

as much as i LOVE genderbent stuff, i just NEED a part 2 of that AU, it ended on such a cliffhanger!! 😭😭+ i'm heavily biased about this, but i just NEED to see you writing higuruma, your writing is so good i just would love to see your take on his character!! now for an actual question, did you had any playlist/song in mind when writing the 1st part of that jjk au??
I really did enjoy writing that fic, but I was ultimately surprised about the comments I was getting for it, I won't lie. I guess because the first comment was "Yuji needs therapy" and that was it.
So I had whiplash when the next comments I got were paragraphs of how they loved the fic. Like, my heart was touched!
Spoiler alert coming up for those who haven't read the fic, that I'll be linking below so you can read it.
I actually didn't have any songs in mind writing the fic! In fact, I didn't listen to anything, including background noise like a video.
The fic was just more inspired by the many thoughts I had over the past couple of days. (I mentioned this in my end notes.)
The central idea was "could Yuji be a vessel for Tengen"? That came since I was rereading Tengen's debut chapter.
Another idea was the exploration of Yuji's relationships with the other characters and because it was a canon divergence, that included Kenjaku. I'm sure many of the fandom wished they had more interactions in canon. (So yeah, folks, Yuta doesn't kill Kenjaku in this fic! Left that to someone else. 😉) Same with Satoru and Yuki, they're here, too. And I had to write Megumi, Nobara and Choso's relationships with Yuji.
There's also the Twin Theory. I wanted to give that a go in this fic and I'm surprised I managed to fit it into the story the way I did! It's just one of those theories that I like and find interesting and it fits into the story of JJK since the topic of twins has been touched on before. (The Hasaba & Zenin twins.)
Lastly, I wanted to explore Yuji as a character. I already have quite a bit of stories where Yuji is a central character, but only one of them I can think if is where his character is explored like how it is here. This time, I wanted to try writing out his selflessness to help people. It's a strength he had as well as a weakness. His selflessness also makes him reckless a bit and also neglect to think about how others would feel. Hardest parts I have wrote in the fic, really, because oh my gosh those bits hurt.
For a next part, I wanna try writing more of some of the other characters that haven't gotten much of the spotlight before in the first bit and in canon.
Hiromi is one of those characters, I just haven't thought about exactly how I'll bring him in yet. Still brainstorming ideas.
Uro is another character since I loved writing her in The Pink Sky and Cherry Blossoms. She wasn't in a lot of the canon storyline, but she is a character that left a big impression on me.
That's all I really have to say! I just wanted to ramble a little and express how I feel. It was just an experience writing that fic! And of course, I don't mind other questions about it if anyone wants to ask!
Also, for those who haven't read it yet, here's the link!

Let me drop some ideas that I haven't been able to kick out of my head lately
there we go
1 ) muchacho
so I've been casually doing my lessons on duolingo , when suddenly I've been blessed with this word being brought back around. Since my last encounter with this word had been while watching the movie ,,Coco" my brain quickly brrrrrrrrred and what came out of it is:
kindnap family in spanish
and yes I could say here how much I would love to see them in a setting similar to that one episode of ofmd where we have Jim's backstory and everyone is just so badass
but the truth is
what I desire is just to read a spanish fic where Mae calls teenage Elros muchacho , like idk , it's cute and feels like something Mae would say. Sure english ,kid' is nice
but muchacho @everyone
idk I've just grown to like this word a lot
basically could've just shortened it to ,Mae calling Elros muchacho' , but I'm in the mood for some ramble
2 ) ,,She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green" (from ,,The Last Great American Dynasty" by Taylor Swift")
so another idea that I bring to the table today is my favourite line from my favourite song (yes, I'm a swiftie)
now everyone close your eyes and imagine it with
Irissë
Celery
& Huan
basically story happens back in Valinor when they're still young and having fun
imagine Irissë getting angry at Tyelko because he's a dumbass (affecionate) or just wanting to mess with him or trying to win a bet with someone or whatever reason
just let's have it result with her stealing Huan for a day or a night and
KEY LIME GREEN HUAN!!!!!
by Irissë
and then Tyelko sees it the next day and falls down crying because ,,NOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOO , EVERYTHING & EVERYONE , BUT NOT HUAN, NOOOOOOO; IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ONE OF MY BROTHERS IRISSË! WHY NOT MAGLOR IRISSË?! "
(confused Maglor in the background)
two days later Celery is still trying to wash the dye off of his dearest friend ; ,,how could she do it to you? *crying intensifies
Note: no magical dog was hurt during these happenings ~ Huan didn't really mind this short change in looks
3 ) Argon and golden ribbons
here I just drop an image of little Argon braiding some stolen from Fingon golden ribbons into his hair because he wants to be like his big brother
and Fingon sees it and just melts
and this is because these moments where he feels like the big brother he is are so rare , mainly because he personally radiates this kind of younger sibling energy
Irissë treats him almost as if they were twins (they have very similar personalities and both of them are secretly dating a fëanorian cousin, just so many things in common between them) , Turgon basically took over being the oldest siblingTM in this family and he may not have told him that it's because he sucks at being an eldest brother figure, but Fingon doesn't need him to voice these thoughts to be aware of them
so yeah, Turgon steals the older brother vibe while Irissë and Fingon just vibe the younger sibling vibe together, but then Argon appears in the picture....
and by that time Fingon has grown up enough to pass the big bro vibe check
so Argon does acknowledge him as the big brother
and Argon wants to be like him
and Argon braids golden ribbons into his hair to look like him
and Argon looks up to him for all of his childhood and even a little longer
and then adult Argon follows him at Alqualondë
and Argon gets doomed
and Argon dies
and it's all because of him
and Fingon might've never agreed with Turgon's overall opinion of him not being a good older brother , but as he looks at his little brother's dead body he wonders
he wonders if Turgon might be right
(okay, enough angst for today)
(or is it?)
4 ) ,,Marjorie" by Taylor Swift
and as much as this whole song gives me the vibe of adult Elrond in Lindon reminiscing his fëanorian upbringing (don't get me started on the angst of him not being allowed to speak about his childhood openly because ,,wdym you consider those MURDERERS your parents alongside your actual parents?????? Oh you poor traumatised thing!!!!!" )
anyway
let me focus here on the
,,The autumn chill that wakes me up/ [...] / Long limbs and frozen swims/ You'd always go past where our feet could touch"
part
like
let's think about these autumn days that are awfully cold in the morning , but then at noon it's almost as warm as during cooler summer days
now let's imagine Mae taking E&E to a nearby lake , so they can learn/practice swimming
(I imagine Mae would consider swimming a potentially important survival-enabling skill and deem it important for E&E to learn it)
ofc they would have to bring a small troop with them because it's apocaliptic end of first age Beleriand and there are orcs everywhere , but still Mae bringing the kids to the lake would be a very fun ,cherished moment for all of them. Mae being tall and going far from the shore, Elros always trying to follow him without caring that water gets too deep for him, Maglor seeing this and having a heart attack Maglor repeatedly telling Elros not to go past where his feet can touch. Elros going anyway, because Maedhros is there, so even if something happens, it's not like he's gonna die dad Mae would save him. Maglor forbiding Mae from taking them to the lake because this little shit Elros is a menace to himself Mae secretly taking them to the lake anyways because ,,they NEED to know how to swim, Mags , you don't understand , what if they DIE someday due to not knowing how to swim????'' let me quote the song again ,,The autumn chill that wakes me up/ [...] / Long limbs and frozen swims'' Mae waking them up early, so they can leave before his little brother is up; and it's still quite early when they arrive at the lake, so the water is freezing And then, centuries later, in Lindon it's just Elrond and these memories because the rest of the family is dead, gone, dead

saw a comment on a youtube video about how the time aspect wore dave down and a DIFFERENT comment on a DIFFERENT song about how hes giving up time travel good (which i did not read before having him give it up i swear. i feel vindicated) and someone linked the page / read through that a little
so supposedly the beta session lasted a day but dave played at least three days going through time loops, and thats just the alpha dave, not counting all the ones that died or were doomed
i think it works as a parallel for his anxiety and tendency to overthink, probably leaning into some obsessive compulsive issues
like i think that's how his brain worked. he's able to throw out paragraphs of rambling because the spigot from which his stream of conscious flows is smashed permanently open so he's always in his head, distracted, thinking of things to say and possibilities and fears and doubts. running through it in his mind trying to give himself the best chance at success to overcompensate for his deep, deep, deep insecurity it's not the dead part of the dave that scares him. he's used to dead things (in jars) it's the failed part.
(someone remind me to talk about the parallels between his time aspect and interest in wet specimens later)
having to weigh all those decisions and outcomes and decide which ones were more favorable really took a toll on him. like letting jade shoot him (he wasnt afraid of his death he was afraid of jade being hurt)(having to leave his sister behind alone in a doomed timeline to save her in another.)
it's too much knowledge and executive power. the human brain is not built to experience life that way (which is why caliborn makes such a potent lord of time - his brain IS wired to work that way - vicious and cyclical)(whereas for aradia it was like a second chance that was genuinely hers and not taken from her or controlled by a weird horny freak)
i think the moment he gives it up is the moment he realizes he can do more for everyone just being present in the moment. both in terms of time and his maladaptive daydreaming. or his internal panicked searches for the Correct thing to say which is also Very Cool and Funny (which he'll never fully give up but he can learn to say something beautiful and true or even cringy and silly once in a while)
i think it also contributes to his deep unabiding love for his brother because he knows dirk is weighing all the options too. he knows none of them seem great or possible. he knows they're gods who are going to live to see black holes die. he knows that on the graph of the timeline between the birth of the universe and the death of the final black hole, he hasn't moved a nanometer. theyre not even babies theyre zygotes.
the cruxite egg was such a good metaphor because itll hatch when its ready. it takes time. let it do what it does.
davebot experiences all points in time simultaneously so where we would see a moment, followed by a moment, followed by another moment, it's like he has the whole picture in his head from start to finish and enough quiet time to ponder it all and he's cheerfully nihilistic. assigning "good" and "bad" to any moment is pointless because you stretch out the whole tapestry and it's beautiful. you can't just cut out the upsetting parts. find beauty in the threads and the hands that wove them

I saw in one of your tags a mention of a novel? As someone who is enjoying your Chaggie fics (they're really good!) I'm curious as to what you write when fandom isn't on the brain :D
First of all thank you for enjoying my fics! I love engaging with fandom and the fact I can contribute creatively to the things I love brings me a lot of joy <3
Fair warning there is so much under the cut here oops, you gave me an opening to talk about my original shit and now I'm running with it lol
I have several projects at the moment, but the one with the most traction and an actual finished first draft is an urban romantasy following a chronically ill werewolf and the suffocated coven heir vampire with PTSD (and a service Hellhound) who she falls in love after an abandoned new vampire stumbles into her job, confused and bloodthirsty. The major throughline is a combination of found family, romance and going against what's expected/socially acceptable to find happiness and self-worth.
The one also has the most art!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The MCs from that one are Marie and Alex <3
I have a few other stories set in the same universe as this one ^ Including a hunter/vampire story (Daisy and Vel, feat. Eidolon, Vel's mount, who is my interpretation of a kelpie)
This one was originally inspired by Reinary's song May I Have This Dance and then I just ran with it lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And a witch/werewolf story (Amaris, werewolf and Raelyn, witch); follows a werewolf collar tech (Raelyn) and the werewolf she met as a child, before she realized what was really happening (her family trains werewolves as guards -- I'm still working the plot of this one because I've had a hard time balancing it in a way that isn't harmful to actual people, and it might end up scrapped or reworked into something else, but I love the characters so they get a mention lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also have a multitude of others, including (another) exes-to-lovers between a muralist and tattoo artist who dated in high school; the muralist bailed after high school in an effort to run away from home/family troubles and left a lot of hurt feelings behind.
Then I have a siren/selkie story where the siren's voice has been stolen by a now-popular singer, and the (chaotic) selkie finds out and wreaks havoc trying to free her.
Irie (top, siren) and Anchor (bottom, selkie)
Tumblr media
And most recently, a platonic succubus and the grumpy/intimidating witch she falls in love with while trying to figure out how to navigate and hold onto meaningful friendships.
The first one is obviously my most fleshed out, but basically I write a lot of sapphic romance/romance-adjacent and primarily fantasy.
There's a few other ideas I've shelved temporarily while I figure out what I want to do with them too. One is a full rework of the novel I wrote when I was eleven, which was very much Mary-Sue princess goes on quest to save the kingdom lol. There were dragons and unicorns in that one xD
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ramble about my original works! I love talking about them but obviously my fandom content is more popular lol

Welcome To the Playground (Arcane Rewatch Sunday)
| Episode 1 |
This post involves spoilers to the episode and is entirely my commentary on watching it!!
To start this rewatch off we meet the first episode. The one that sets the stage of what's to come, and damn IS this an episode. I lied abit about watching this for the second time because I have seen this episode one twice. More so one scene being prominate but I didn't give enough of my attention to the opening scene.
Tumblr media
Here we see the sisters. (A lot of these screenshots I took are of them being together because they actually make me want to SOB and throw myself onto the floor in shambles.)
Powder's song is almost haunting in a way, as we see moments later of Vander and the total fucking destruction (which I didn't remember this scene all that great so holy shit this was such an interesting way to set the stage and tone of things.)
Tumblr media
Another photo of the sisters because like above. They make me want to sob. VI LOOKS SO BROKEN TOO. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE HER A HUG FFS.
Tumblr media
I really really appreciate the color. The way everything is shaded and just too, the way things are-- Vander. I'm guessing this is how they met and he took them in?? I'd assume. Might have missed some kind of subtext but it definitely is an emotional look combined with the utter emotion behind both of them. Too with Powder's singing.
Tumblr media
AND HERE WE ARE! This scene I have the most familiarity with. I really do like how everything is colored as well. Mylo and Claggor alongside them <- I did not memorize their names before EITHER WHICH IS WRONG. They do seem like cool characters, but LOOK AT THIS SHOT. Topside really be having EVERYTHING.
I was going to entre a joke here about Powder almost falling off the building and Vi grabbing her arm and show a picture of Catadora from princess prom to say something but I forgot the punchline and I didn't take it. Not the same energy either, but my brain was trying to think up a silly joke.
Tumblr media
I had to take a screenshot of the Kiramman place-thingy. It's so funny- I missed that detail last time. Imagine robbing the girl's families' place that's going to be your love interest. CANT RELATE LOL. But hey!! I thought it was really funny Mylo commenting about them locking their balcony alongside Vi just kicking the fucking door open. SUCH A SLAY move. We love, we stan!!!!
(Also to note, its such a cool frame to just pause and look at in finer detail. It's got so much stuff to look at. I know I didn't take more shots of Powder with the orb ball thing, but I really thought everything in the place was super unique and even through them robbing the place it was fascinating the part where Powder finds the sandwich and just ate ONE BITE of it and going oooo what's this thing. I CAN'T. Girl eat more of the sandwich, you're leaving too much behind!!!! AT LEAST TAKE IT WITH YOU.)
"That's a nose hair trimmer." <- I love you Powder.
I would say never change but uh... UH... ANYWAY.
Tumblr media
The orb fucking EXPLODED. CRAZY.
Guess your clear Powder. Don't think they're gonna find that sandwich now. But I don't think that's.... leaving no traces.
I mean you left that building without a trace, sure... but like... where's the building???
(btw yeah I was watching with captions on. It helps with my comprehension of what I'm watching. I'm not gonna ramble about it NOW but damn people should not hate so hard on people who watch stuff with captions on.)
Tumblr media
Mylo commenting about his new shirt and getting cut off by Vi kicking him down was so goofy. If you KNOW. But too-- This color pallet. I know I keep saying that but even the topside shitty parts are pretty. TOPSIDE REALLY BE HAVIN EVERYTHING.
Tumblr media
UGH GOD I HATE THIS PART BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING SO GOOD. Mylo is such a stupid idiot. More of the sisters because I can't. I actually can't. Someone's gonna skin me if I say that when I first saw Powder I thought of 2-D from Gorillaz. It's the blue hair okay. I DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO THEM. Derailing this episode mb.
Tumblr media
All this violence and then its Powder. I got so frustrated when they started chasing her with the stuff too. Was truly rooting for her. Every time I see the scene too I always wish she succeed.
Tumblr media
SHE LOOKS SO FUCKING BADASS. LOVE HER. Love the buzzed fade thing so MUCH. The hair. It's everything. SHE is everything.
Tumblr media
I always want her to win. I always do. She deserved so much better than how they treated her. Her inventions, she truly was so misunderstood. Never given a chance and written off. I really liked the writing but like holy fuck it was so infuriating because you just want the best for her with all that's happening. You want her to win...
Tumblr media
He said it. He said the thing.
He should fuck off and die but HE SAID THE THING.
Tumblr media
I cut out most of the part where we saw The Last Drop and Vander talking to those people about negotiating things. Dunno what to comment about that whole segment but Vander coming to chew out Vi once they all came back. I think the whole part where he coaches her about being a leader was a good message. About how she needs to be less reckless and more strategic because people look up to her- Especially Powder. And then not only that, but their health is also in her hands if she is being reckless.
Vander asking if she put that guy on his ass after chewing her out is such an Eda moment but also such a good parent moment. I love when we have that be a trope(?) with fictional parents. Chew the shit out of your kid and then be like "but you still kicked their ass, right?" Slay shit right there.
Tumblr media
Ekko. I NOTICED THE FUCKING DETAIL ABOUT "LITTLE MAN."
HE GAVE THEM THE INFO. I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT LAST TIME OMFG. It's all coming together. The air fighting 💀.
Tumblr media
More of the sisters because they deserve better. Vi being supportive of Powders inventions. It all makes me emotionally unstable /pos.
Tumblr media
MORE OF THE SISTERS. PLEASE I NEED YOU TO KNOW I LOVE THEM. This moment. I can't. I can't. I can't.
The orb.
Tumblr media
I am giving you screenshots of the sisters and I am not sorry.
Tumblr media
Then there's this. The way the scene ended. I'm not sure how else to comment on it all but I really wanted to insert this photo because its such a nice shot of the lanes and then them in scale of it all. Kinda symbolic to an extent. (I hope I got that right? Undercity verses The Lanes was confusing me on the difference.)
Tumblr media
I'm so mad about that cat.
But Silco.
We see him.
We still hate him though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway ahhh THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD. Sorry if I seemed dry at all in any of my parts. It's like- I dunno what else to say at times but I really really enjoyed it. I think seeing this show again is going to really inspire me in more ways than just "ooo show" but it's just SUCH a neat looking world. World building is such an important aspect of stories to me, it needs to have a good and interesting world for me to feel a good hard urge to invest into the content.
One of the reasons why I fell in love with TOH so hard was BECAUSE of its world. (among other things *cough cough* wlw)
The world is such a important piece in storytelling. Characters too, and sometimes they matter more because they can fall flat if they aren't written good. But everything that goes into the world is such an engaging thing.
With this episode it didn't feel like- Boring or anything at all. (I have a short attention span at times and sometimes my mind will just be like "ughhhh") WHICH IS AWESOME. These episodes are literally 45 minutes so like wtf. If a show can do that shit- Damn dude they're cooking SO hard.
I'm not even a LoL fan or like knowing of that lore, and I'm sure knowing of that stuff would make things even more interesting with lore (am a SUCKER for lore too) but even as it stands it's such an Indepth show. (I mean that as in it's not kid-ish. THERES MEAT TO IT.)
I'm so ready for episode two!!!
UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY!!

(I hope I'm not too late for this & that I'm doing this right, but here goes: a thingy for the spidersona fire event)
Lucia Faye, a real tiny gal (not much over 5'2) is here to get a break from existing as a hero - both as Spiderfae and as a fairy. She's just chilling by the fire, and even brought some of those changing-fire-colour-powder-things to put in the fire and make pretty colours.
She'd also bring lots of small trinkets, like shiny rocks. She loves to share the small things in life she finds. Speaking of which, she's bound to tell tons of facts about fire and all sorts of stuff; like what chemicals make flames change colour, how to hang upside-down and not get dizzy, what makes sour things taste sour, and other fun facts.
If given the chance, Lucia will 100% sing. Sure she'll lead a few group songs, but if convinced to sing solo (which takes a little bit) she'll sing of a place that seems to bring nostalgia to everyone who hears, even though they're not from her world. (The song is much like 'Return to Me' from Winx Club).
Assuming she's hyped up a little (from confidence, alcohol or both) she'll attempt the equivalent of a Sonic Rainboom directly into the fire (but stop short and blast magic like fireworks)
And if she happens to drink a little alcohol at the event, her magic tends to go a little haywire and she'll need to have someone tie a ribbon to her ankle and hold her like a balloon (or she'll fly off lmao)
EHHHH IT'S ANOTHER FOR THE SHORTY SQUAD. Welcome to the bonfire. We're all just here to wind down and have some fun away from the spider life. AHHH AND YOU BROUGHT MORE COLORS FOR THE FIRE.
(Sigh you tell the autistic pyromaniac that you have fire facts and suddenly he becomes an unskippable cutscene. I'll spare you all from the ramble going on inside my head rn but know he currently looks like this:🫨)
Sorry I blacked out for a minute. I saw fire and facts in the same sentence. Where was I? Oh yeah alcohol. It makes most of that anxiety go away only to leave you with a pounding headache and terrible terrible memories in the morning 😔
Another melodious singer is among us folks. Maybe you and the other spiders who sang should write and album or something. I think HQ has a recording studio.
Also that's so cute I'll keep an eye out for you in case you start to hover. I wanna recor- I mean I wanna make sure you don't drift off.

So I thought maybe Taylor Swift’s red with PuenTaylay since their colors are blue lol. Idk. I honestly can’t think of a good quote. If you think of one and tag me that works too 😂 I just want to see JimmySea on my dash again 😍 I miss them already
hello deanna ♥
i am somehow so very grateful for this prompt :'D it was delightfully vague despite being so straight to the point, and this is why i decided to both follow it and not follow it at all.
here's the result
everyone keeps telling me puentalay are taylor swift coded but i've never really listened to taylor swift that much (i don't really count the radio hits i was subjected to throughout my life). so this was my excuse to finally get into her music! mostly through jessi's @patprans amazing vv edit from a while ago. i went through that whole list of songs in it and i have to say it was a journey.
from it, this love stuck with me the hardest. tbh i cry with it now if i listen to it bc it feels so right for these two. so thank you to you both for opening my eyes, i suppose XD not that i ever really was against any of this, i just didn't have the right motivator before. now i had that and the time. it was fun ♥
and don't worry, i also looked into red! i do know that song haha, i haven't grown up under a rock after all. but i had to look at the lyrics properly and i do get where you're coming from with this prompt. i can feel puentalay there, especially bc of the colors. which i wanted to hold onto even when i abandoned the song itself!
so there's blue, as their beginning and ending. there's black and gray for the missing part, for the loss and grief and longing. and then there's red towards the end for the love! which. truly if loving puen is red am going insane for a little bit. we have had the convos about puen and red, am not digging into that again.
i just hope you like this! and thank you so much for joining in and always talking with me even when our tastes are very different ^^ i appreciate it a lot! have a wonderful rest of your week ♥
(some more rambles under the cut!)
i really love the way this song starts and how it seems to tell the whole puentalay journey in just, what is that, one verse? well, you know. in just a few lines we've come from their starting point to the inevitable tragedy of them having to separate, and then we've come to their reunion and persevering love.
so the edit tries to interpret all that. the first pic is about the water (which i've been thinking about so much and am going insane about it currently, there's so much Water!!), about how talay gets swept into this other universe and how he finds puen. which. i hope you get it that this is also about that glass house scene in ep 4 where talay runs through the rain to get to puen again. that's important. that's puen's tide - that rain.
and then there's a bit of fluff there. about the things they could go on and on about. about these moments where they find each other. about these moments where they... idk. are just lovely and in love. i wanted to show that.
bc i needed that before we hit the angst town! skies grow darker? currents come and sweep you away again? yeah, so true. puentalay literally just get together and then they're fighting which leads them to the secret island. which then, kind of, steals puen from talay a bit later. I tried to show all that too.
and then it's just. episode 11 part 1/4 heartbreak hours. that part is legendary and i love the angst so much even if watching it feels every time like someone is trying to carve my heart out with a plastic knife. but this line in the lyrics!!! it was just so perfect. gosh. (paired with the "and this love came back to me" like CMON i could make another edit only for that)
this then leads to the pink and the red. bc next we see what they had, what good things they got. the "silent screams" are, for me, about talay. about how he's saying he doesn't do love, doesn't really think about it, but still ends up seeking it. and idk, the dusty heart thing always gets to me. that's kind of his silent scream; talking about the love he does not want to the guy who wants nothing else but them to fall in love. how ironic.
puen got the "wildest dreams" then bc damn, that man has so many Wild Dreams. i didn't want to include the popcorn eating in this bc that would've made this edit cracky imo, so there's now just puen intensely staring at talay. this man is up to no good. his fantasies are horrible yet so, so cute. am so happy he actually got to finally live his popcorn fantasy XD what a doofus.
and then finally! all the things they never even dreamed about! aka everything in the our skyy eps. all of that was so good and domestic i bet they never thought they would have something like that. so that was for the last one. am kind of happy this took so long to make so i got those eps before this ♥ they're such a joy.
idk how much sense any of this makes bc it's 2am and my brain is fried but i just had to get all of this out. thank you once more for giving me this chance ^^ ♥

Uno reverse again 💞.
Which Midnights song(s) do you associate with Lana and Ethan?
(I actually wanted to ask you this since the album came out but it completely slipped my mind).
lizzie <333
thank you for sending me this because as you know i am constantly making spotify playlists & pinterest boards for all my blorbos <3 the brainrot is outrageously strong atm
okay lets see!! :
as you already know, the great war is an ethan x mc song fullstop. i already made an outrageously lengthy post about it so i won't expand here but yeah -- these two are ready to go to war and get at each other's throats way too easily. but then when they're together, they would go to war for one another. all because they survived the great war.
paris!! especially because that was one of the places they visited on their honeymoon <3 also 'romance is not dead if you keep it just yours' its LITERALLY so true & so them. they're both very private people, and to them their relationship is something sacred, something that is just theirs.
labyrinth!! like are you kidding me is miss taylor swift secretly an oph stan or smth?? how are all the songs so spot on?? i think this relationship is the most intense either one of them have been in, and all these feelings- they're absolutely terrifying. also 'never trust it if it rises fast'?? it perfectly summarizes their journey and their whirlwind of a romance -- the high post ch15 to the fall of ethan leaving without a word. i love how it can double as both a heartbreak song for these two but then later becomes a love song. because it all worked out in the end, and the both of them truly would break their back to make the other break a smile <3
also because i'm extra & love to ramble -- maroon is definitely a raleigh x lana (raleigh is the guy lana 'dated' while ethan was in his flop era and she..... kinda broke his heart). the sad thing is that in another life, they would have literally been perfect together and i do have an au where they end up together <3 but yeah the switch from 'i chose you' to 'i lost you' & the line 'sobbing with your head in your hands, aint that the way shit always ends' YIKES this song is so them like the song has a definite feel of an inevitable ultimatum, and ultimately their relationship couldn't survive because she was in love with someone else. in that same vein, midnight rain also works for them she truly was midnight rain while he was sunshine.
also also!! you're on your own kid is SUCH a lana song <333 it really perfectly encapsulates her growth and how she left her home and started a new life all on her own. she's always been on her own, but she's made it (and now she's not so alone anymore). also omfg karma <333 its essentially a massive fuck you to her dad because she's out here living her best life while he'll never be able to because well.... he's the worst. and sometimes the best revenge is simply living your best life. also okay last song before i shut up but omfg would've could've should've. i know that the song is about a toxic predatory relationship, but alot of the lyrics also work for a toxic parent-child dynamic. like 'memories feel like weapons', 'the tomb won't close i fight with you in my sleep, 'if clarity's in death then why won't this die' and of COURSE 'give me back my girlhood it was mine first' AHHH it all screams lana </3 she hasn't spoken to her dad in almost 8 years by the time she starts at edenbrook...... and yet.

Right back at ya:] 32, 25, 18, & 17? :P
32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?
a song's close enough to a poem, right? there's a song by o.a.r. called heaven; and everybody got a problem with the way I live/I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in. it just gives me little bits of confidence :3 For how I found it: my parents love their music and so i've heard a lot of their songs; Peace and Heaven have become my favorites and honestly it just makes me happier with myself :)
25. i've got a kingdom based story (i ramble about this in 17 if you want provided context (:)! Briar would be a polyglot if this was set in the real world (for my mental sake, i'm writing as though there's only one language). Mythic's an absolute fashion nerd, but is terrible with non-traditional accessories.
18.
"It’s a dark gray day today, and she finds herself in the fields. She’s darting through rows of veggies and fruits and flowering vines, around the overhangs fluttered with flowers, under the crystals that float in the air. Her hands are shadowed, her hair whipping in her face from the wind, and all she can do is smile.
The day is dark, but she will make it light.
Clouds block the sun, fluffy and a perfect light gray. Blue shines through in rare spots, flickering through in tiny bursts of hope, spotlighting the ground in impossible patches of calm, perfect light. She soars higher, higher, higher, until people are simply specks of color on a ground of green and gray. The crystals shimmer with light, somehow, flickering with color and a touch of magic that calls out to the world hello, I’m here."
this story is set up as a 5+1 because those are interesting to me, and this is the beginning to part 5. I love descriptions- though I'm not always the best at them- and using scenery to foreshadow events is always so much fun for me. the line the day is dark, but she will make it light is literally one of the best lines i have ever written. the main character starts pretty pessimistic and obsessed with self gain- by this point, she's actually learning how to form healthy relationships, and to help others and help her own mental state at the same time (:
17. i'm writing a kingdom based story! I was scrolling the empires tag on tumblr and saw some fae!ruler headcanons and thought hey, i could use those. i started it i want to say..... in april? i had a solid 1500 words that i deleted and then rewrote longer. I came up with their nicknames before their actual names- i was writing from a very vague point of view at first, and so i only had what they went by, not what they were actually named! i asked my friends for help to name them and one of them suggested calamari (this is not a joke. it was a joke suggestion but it did happen and they fought HARD for it) :D I could go on about this for FOREVER oh my gosh!
(trust me the read more's for your own good. proceed at your own discretion)
the world itself is split into empires. the ones in this specific wip are The Hanging Cliffs, Ghosmere, The Common Grounds, Ponsiquell, and Crescent. (there are 5 characters total, but 7 are mentioned! there's another kingdom mentioned as well, Aquabora)
The Cliffs are in the plains- it's a plant-filled place, but starts only as that. It's where the main character is from- they're new, and she's.. um.. i would call it a physical embodiment of the cliffs, maybe? the Cliffs have been standing longer than any of the kingdoms, and trapped magic as they rose- as the magic aged, she formed. Her name's Calamity, officially, but she goes by Clancy, and if someone knows her name she does prefer Caley :)
Ghosmere is more of a... swamplike place i want to say? it's the border between land and sea, with incredibly tall trees, roots showing. the houses resemble these trees, some woven into the branches, some sitting just on the shore, stacked atop each other. it's foggy yet bright- their main exports are books, leather, paper, and steel, and their main import is glass. it borders to the Cliffs, and it's where Briar, the first other character met, lives.
The Grounds are in a desert. it is. not close to anything, and yet close to everything: it's the longest standing kingdom, with an incredibly long line of leaders. It's filled with people from every kingdom, and will rarely go into war. however, it's very a monarchy. currently, it's led by Sir Mythic (his name is Bennet). He's 20. He's also very tired.
Crescent is a farming empire, in a way: it balances more on meat output than plant output, however. It's a democracy, currently led by Taylor: her title is The High Lady of Our Crescent, and so she just goes by Lady to the general public. She's very human, but Crescent is the main supplier of meat and cloth to the rest of the world, so she's rarely threatened.
Ponsiquell is the other fae empire in this wip: it's run by Duke Garter (Lucien). he's more mixed up with darker magics, and his father is still around and. Kind of a Terrible Person (read: running the kingdom through his son and also is very much a dictator) Aquabora is also a fae-run kingdom: Marble (unknown actual name at this moment). they center around technology mixed with magic: prosthetics, mechanical wings, floating carriages, etc.
Briar's 19. her parents are not dead, just terrible people. Marble's been around longer than anyone, and they're just. having the time of his life. she's learned more about magic and tech than any of the other kingdoms, and every tech is originally built by xem. zey has a lot of fun with it. everyone else is concerned for their mental state. Mythic's full title is Sir Mythic, Ruler of Common Grounds, Past Keeper of the Sand, First Knight and Ambassador to the Kingdoms of the World, Son of the Chancellor and The Queen, Head of Communications to the Higher Powers, Final Voice of Wartime Efforts, First Ally to Ghosmere and the Hanging Cliffs, and Representative of the Court. It's 53 words and every time I think of something new, I add it. I'm trying to beat Prince Philip in word count; he has a total of 133, so i'm only 80 away!
I'm very normal.
