au where Strahm loses his voice entirely & permanently from the tracheotomy

food for thought

#jennilargh #peter strahm #saw #sawposting #i couldnt write it because ive already written a mute fic and i dont want that to be like a whole thing right #theres just a lot of angst potential with that PARTICULAR affliction that works well with romance and angst stories #like imagine? a hoffstrahm fic that basically follows the same beats as my series where Hoffman is horrendously guilty for what he did #but instead of just a neck scar and strahm's ptsd he also has to be faced with it every SINGLE time strahm communicates with him #or shit man. what if hes in trouble and trying to scream out #could go on really

[awsugar]

i came up with a concept for a frerard fic when i was in highschool back in 2012. i wrote some of it then and posted a chapter or two to mibba 😭 and then later on in college i copy and pasted what i had on mibba into google drive so i would never lose it and anyway the last time i edited the draft was 2017 but this fic has never left my mind!!! and i want to start working on it again. so if anyone is still frerardie rockin in 2024 and wants to be a beta or a cheerleader/someone to bounce ideas off of....hmu

#its a doctor gerard au #gerard thinks hes straight and frank is a gay clumsy barista who ends up in the ER #and frank like pines and puts in the WORK to get gerard #theres a lot of work on gerards sexuality and him learning about being bi #and other stuff too #and its going to be loooooong #ive already written 12k they havent hung out yet for real LOL

giorose sleeping habits? :3c

AWAWAWWA THAt's a good one!!!! thank you for asking !!!!!!!!!! ily

ok so i think they have decent sleeping cycles but of course there's a lot of room for improvement haha.

rose is a light sleeper + giovanni is a heavy sleeper

rose and giovanni switch between being the big spoon/little spoon

they like doing small rituals before sleeping if they can help it; rose likes to have a cup of tea and read a book + giovanni likes to meditate and do evening stretches to keep fit

rose has definitely become rather soft and dainty ever since he became financially successful as a businessman, he wants a good bed to sleep on or else he'll sleep like shit/won't sleep at all

rose tends to be restless, even when he's tired. his head is pretty much always buzzing so it's common for him to have trouble with either falling asleep or staying asleep

rose regularly suffers from nightmares related to his anxieties

rose falls asleep without washing off his makeup and waking up with a smudged face and pillow FAR more often than he likes to admit

a lot of rose's sleeping issues are mostly rectified when giovanni sleeps next to him. his presence is very comforting, and rose finds his sleeping habits oddly endearing. ^_^

giovanni has been all around the world and often doesn't have the luxury of a decent sleep environment due to his criminal activities and having to remain concealed from the public

in turn, this made giovanni able to sleep through the night on nearly every surface. he has comfortably slept on a pile of literal rocks a handful of times

giovanni is such a deep sleeper, the world could literally explode and giovanni wouldn't wake up from it

giovanni moves and talks a lot in his sleep for some reason. it wouldn't be uncommon for him to be facedown on the floor the next morning + rose actually can strike a semi-decent conversation with giovanni while he's out like a brick

giovanni is a big fan of taking naps on the couch with his arms crossed

#asks #orbitshipping #tbh ive got a lot more thoughts but im cringing at how much ive already written so. yeah thats about enough.

[good-beanswrites]

Hello!! I really love your writing! I like the way you write interactions between characters and how well you maintain their personalities! Sometimes, after I read these, I need to take a few moments to realize that they are not actually canon. (For me, they still are <3).

If it's not a bother, I would like to request Compliment + Yuno and any other character that you think will fit well!

Because of Yuno's past work, I always thought that the compliments her clients would give didn't truly mean much to her. At first, maybe these words gave her some warmth, but with time, she realized that these words were nothing more than superficial. And I think it would be nice to see Yuno actually being happy with the sincerity of a compliment addressed to her!

Thank you!! 

Hi hello?? This is like the greatest compliment a writer could dream of thank you??? I have been very normal about this ;__;✨ And thank you for the request, I absolutely love that concept -- it's perfect for Yuno! I think between being so used to shallow/physical compliments combined with the fact that she has a lot of self-love already, a new type of compliment could really affect her. I debated on a few characters, but ended up setting this late T1 with Kotoko

Yuno was always complimented on her smile. It was beautiful, she was told. It was pure. Sweet. Innocent. Her lipstick looked nice. Her lips in general looked nice. She was just so… nice. Yuno was glad to have such a bright smile; it hid how much she was wanted to pick up the cards from her solitaire game and throw them as hard as she could at Shidou's face.

“Don’t worry, when you get to be my age, you’ll understand,” he was saying. “But I do love your optimism…”

She stretched that smile as far as it would reach. Shidou kept talking as he stood to leave, and she answered as politely and simply as possible. Once out of sight, she allowed herself a single, dramatic eyeroll. Everyone older than her thought they knew more than her. Men always thought they knew more than her. 

But she wasn’t about to let it ruin the rest of her day. She turned her attention back to the cards, already working to forget the whole conversation. She’d nearly lost herself in new thoughts when a voice startled her at the end of the table.

“You’re strong, Yuno.”

She looked up to find Kotoko staring. She smirked at the comment -- she knew she had nothing on someone like her. The woman exuded strength, and had made more than one comment about the other prisoners’ physical fitness. Yuno flexed her right arm. “I didn’t do very well in the tournament, but thanks, I guess!”

Confusion flashed over her face. “No, not the arm wrestling thing we did the other day.”

“Oh, when we all jumped rope after dinner last week?”

“No, no. I mean… as a person.” Kotoko scooted closer. She always had a calculating look on her face, studying everyone around her. Yuno had expected to feel uncomfortable under such a gaze, (many of the other prisoners had voiced the sentiment,) but there was something almost pleasant about the way Kotoko stared. Yuno couldn’t put her finger on it.

She waved her hand dismissively. She knew the best way to accept praise was to play it down, just a bit. “Eh, sometimes it's gotta be like that, you know? I just do what I can to make it through the day, I wouldn't call that strong or anything…”

“Well I would.” Her gaze was level. “I think the way you handle everyone, never compromising on your own values, is very impressive. I’ve seen the way the others talk to you here. I can only imagine, with the line of work you’re in, what utter scumbags you’ve had to deal with on a daily basis. And yet,” she tipped her head, and Yuno suddenly understood. Kotoko looked at people as if she actually saw them. “You’ve never once raised your voice. Or scowled. Or even cried. Being sent to a place like this, after what you’ve done, it’d be enough to infuriate anyone.”

She surveyed the room, adding, “I'm still figuring this place out, but I can tell it's designed to break us. Which is why we need to stay strong. I just wanted to tell you, from one woman to another -- I'm glad to have someone like you fighting with me.”

Yuno’s smile had faded to surprise. At that moment, she did something that she hadn’t in an awfully long time. 

She blushed at the compliment. 

Maybe it was the way Kotoko said it. She wasn't the type of person to say anything she didn't mean. Maybe it was the fact that it was something new, not another comment about her lips or her laugh or her body. Or maybe it was because Yuno was tempted to believe it.

She’d heard so many voices lately, whispering how weak and helpless she must be to end up in this whole mess. The other prisoners, too, treated her according to her small build and unbroken nails. She suddenly realized how close she’d come to falling into the same mindset.

Getting a hold of herself, she made her voice light. “Well, I'd say the same to you, but I think you already know that, heh. But… thanks for saying all that.”

“Of course.” Kotoko’s smile was neither sweet nor innocent, but it was certainly honest. “I mean it.”

Yuno nodded. “I know.”

#milgram #yuno kashiki #kotoko yuzuhira #waahhh thank you again! im always so amazed by your theories and write-ups -- it means a lot you enjoyed these :'D #i do love that for yuno mmm #she deserves a meaningful compliment from someone who understands 👏 #kotoko is pretty close to her age and (might) have experience with mistreated young women #so i think shed have a soft spot for her! #also this is referencing yamanakas tweet about them arm wrestling and yuno was the strongest woman (besides kotoko) ill reblog that lol #once deep cover comes out i want to write some more t2 kotoko - i just have no idea where her heads at rn 🤔 #i really wanted to write fuuta but ive already written a whole fic about their dynamic and i should really try something new LMAO #drabbles

[volivolition]

gotta draw more voli and echem being little haters to each other. i know their canon interactions are arguing over temptations vs abstinence and i LOVE that dynamic. unfortunately i am also the world's biggest fucking softie and i go weak in the knees for them working together and being affectionate.

#ECHEM FROM MY BRAIN [Failure] - No no wait let him hold me so I can kiss his face. It'll be so in character I prommy. #like. no little guy. i need a different ship to inflict this on so i dont mischaracterize them lmao. #in my brain they need to work together for harry's happiness. voli says ''i want you to live'' and echem says ''i want you to love living'' #and in order to not be ''living but not happy/might as well be dead'' or ''happy to the point of death'' they have to balance each other. #IN CANON HOWEVER. the girlies are fighting hkjgsk. less ''balancing'' and more ''straight up cancelling each other out'' #ourgh. i want to draw/write them sweet and doting and cutesy AND I CAN but i also should draw more actual dynamic too hkjhg #ive written and planned a whole rivals to friends with benefits to lovers slowburn about them already. so in my brain im like: #''they worked through a lot of shit together and they've both character arc'd and they deserve to be cute and in love!'' #but since its unpublished no one else has the same context as i do so they're technically just very ooc!! AUGH! #this is just a sign for me to actually finish my projects so i can show them off and give people context lmao. #anyway enough about them. thinking about empathy now. :) #chemi chats

[satancopilotsmytardis]

Thank you for giving us all those fics on Ao3 lately

I hope you reach the word goal

Your writing is amazing

Thank you for the kind words! I am, unfortunately, very 'make numbers go bigger' motivated, so the thought of having posted 1 million words on AO3 in a year makes me feral. Right now I'm still working through my backlog of prompt responses but if I can, I might be dropping a new Mishap installment and a new chapter of Bitch Me (Violently) too before the new year!

#tanco speaks #ask #asks #this is more ridiculous than it even seems because in the past year ive already written over 2mil words according to 4thewords #its just that a lot of it is WIPs and OG work #i also wanted to finish a new book before new years #but i can only do so much #we'll see what happens

[n7punk]

so i've already updated more this year than i did during all of last year

#updated as in posted either a fic or a new chapter to one #ive also already written more fanfiction so far than i did in all of last year. tho i wrote a lot more last year with my novels too #im actualy working on the 7th fic in cotc already so i might end up doing some back-to-back updates soon #perhaps related stat. my highest word count in one day for this year is 8.7k so far #from when i was writing TTFT lol #my forth highest is 6.5k for cotc tho

[ectonurites]

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.

#super dark times #+ part of it that's insane to me is: Josh COULD have easily ALSO gotten (literal) blood on his hands—we see him go to check for a pulse #after Zach did... but we don't see his hands during that—they're left out of the shot! we just see his face. and when we see his hands next #there's no visible blood on them (if any got on he theoretically wiped 'em off ig? similarly Zach's hands when seen AFTER the shot of him #touching Daryl ALSO don't rlly show blood anymore—we see his hands in the leaves tho so it prob went there) BUT SO there was a CHOICE made #to give us a close up shot of ZACH pulling his hand away from the wound with blood on it... but to NOT do the same/smthn similar with Josh. #and yet ZACH is the one who CAN'T ACCEPT THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN ANY OF ITTTTT!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! #this post brought to you by me rewatching the Zach + Charlie on the phone scene and needing to just. stop and scream at Zach being #like 'Josh‚ or fucking somebody else‚ they went up there and if they found Daryl alive—' LIKE BRO. YOU *KNOW* HE WAS DEAD. #YOU KNOW. YOU KNOOOOW. YOU WERE THERE. YOU KNOW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. the denial. the trying to find any fucking way that #there could be even a sliver of a possibility that it WASN'T even PARTIALLY his fault.... shifting the blame entirely onto Josh... #[plus like. the 'somebody else' only added in after Charlie was giving him shit for trying to complicate this more—at first he was #straight up saying Josh was the one that fucked with the body]... aghghghsfd he makes me INSANE #also fwiw. i'm forever a 'Josh didn't harm anyone on purpose until AFTER his fight with Zach at Zach's house' truther. that provides #at least SOME sort of motivation to push him over an edge into... the shit that happens. anything before that just fuckin' doesn't make #sense. To Me. ive already written a lot on my thoughts about all of that though [uhhh in the tags of my gifset of the fight at Zach's house #anyways. im also NOT trying to say 'ah so we should Just Blame Zach' because nah nah this whole thing was a fucked up accident. they're all #to blame. plus Josh did horrible shit at the end On His Own there's no way of getting around that—but the messiness of how Zach handled the #initial incident and how that ripples out across the whole movie is simply soooooooo... ghghGHGhghGHGhghghgh. To Me. #in conclusion: im soooooooo normal about the characters in this movie (<- lying)

[calypsolemon]

sorry not sorry to people who hate harumi and lloyd's arc in crystalized but I'm such a fucking huge fan of their insane complex attachment to each other. ninjago hasn't had a relationship this nuanced in the show like ever and i genuinely think its not me reading to hard into it this time but like. literally i thikn the writers intended it to be more interesting than either party just having a romantic interest in each other and i think ppl reading it that way are ignoring a lot of aspects of the way they are written in this season

#for once i will defend ninjago writers. harumi and lloyd's relationship this season is more complex than romance #ive already written my long post on what i think harumi's attachment to lloyd is exactly #but i will just say i think if the writers intended for it to be actually romantic feelings #they would have coded their interactions a lot differently #crystalized spoilers #ninjago crystalized

[brainrotdotorg]

i think this is probably the happiest ive ever been with harrykim characterization that ive written lmao

#ive been rereading absent space. i want to start writing it again #i have such big plans for that story and i want to give it the execution it deserves #ive been thinking about this fic for more than half a year now!!!! #but i want it to be good before i post it #but i dont want to keep people waiting for a long while #i feel like ive sort of staked my claim as someone who writes a lot of fic very fast so i feel bad going slow #rrrrgrghghghghrgrgrghrgh why cant it just be written already i just want to write the good parts

[tennessoui]

So there’s a Reylo fanfic writer living her best life and making a living writing published Reylo fanfics because her agent read her fanfics and loved them. I was wondering for pure silly reasons, if that ever happened to you, would you ever want to publish Obikin fanfics traditionally and make a career out of that?

why, are you an agent who has read my fanfics and loved them?

#asks #jk jk #i think my style of writing probably wouldn't translate well to a book #a lot of my favorite fics ive written are ones that rely very heavily on #the readers already liking either the characters the pairing or ig me as a writer #so i don't do a lot of building into a relationship that makes sense or describing the characters #they're just there doing silly things and being obsessed with eac other #which works really well in fanfic #but wouldn't translate into a fiction book people would pick up with no prior knowledge of who these characters are #would i ever want to be a writer? #i love writing and i would love to write a book #but i'd have to really really commit to it i think #and tahts a whole other field of questions

[gh0str3c0rd3r]

would anyone be interested in my favourite apple cinnamon loaf cake recipe mayhaps

#daily stuff i guess #because i love it so much #and i want someone else to be ables to enjoy it #maybe #i duno #iv already written a lot of it out #because i need to rember my proportions

[peachcitt]

normally i never make resolutions because im of the opinion that you can change your life whenever you want and technically speaking any day of the year can be the start of a new year. that being said. my past year was kind of garbage.

so! i have decided to be more keen on new years resolutions, especially making ones that will hopefully make me feel better if something i can't control affects me negatively. i actually made a huge list of resolutions, more than i put here, that all kind of boil down to trying out ways to make my life more comfortable and fulfilling for myself and the people around me.

happy new year everybody i hope this year treats us all kindly :)

#new year's resolutions #new year's resolutions 2023 #my art #peach stuff #also i know it's a scientific fact that if you write your goals down you're more likely to achieve them #have i ever written my goals down if i wasn't forced to before? no. and maybe that's why ive been so shit at reaching my goals<3 #also about the goal that's about finding a hobby that uses my hands: ive realized recently that both of my main hobbies #(reading and writing) are both very brain-heavy things to do. like those are both two things that require a lot Being Inside My Head #and you know! maybe ive realized that it's Not Good to be in my head so much! #so i want to find a more tactile hobby that won't require so much brain time and can connect me more with the physical world #also i drew this all in ms paint with my new laptop and laptop pen and maybe i just don't understand ms paint enough #but this was kind of a bitch to draw. where is the layer function. why was my laptop screen still registering my skin when i was using pen #but still i like how it looks. especially the peach and my hair. the peach just because it looks cute and peach-like #and i think this is the first time ive drawn/colored my hair since i died it this past summer so it was fun to experiment with #how to make it accurate but still cohesive with the colors i already had down #my hair is actually variations on an auburn sort of shade since its faded from a really shitty (self-done) red dye job #but the pink here is fun :) #anyway. that's all

[citrine-elephant]

after reading a snippet of a translation of the vendetta novel, the urge to draw strangely morbid/bastardized? religious symbolism....

#there's another word for it #but ive been wondering about leon and his religion #i mean with the cult stuff it's already easy to wanna draw priests and shit but yknow #the corruption of the holy and divine... #the inquisition respawning to stab me in the throat #mfer just quotes verses like.... someone with a lot of knowledge ig #plaga au where leon keeps his mind and is the archivist for saddler #leon's able to memorize everything (ignoring the whole hive mind thing lol) and write the holy texts for los illuminados #destroy leon and you destroy the cult's written history or something idk #further au where leon can be cured becuz i cant handle the heartbreak #a long.... LONG road.... #before he can trust a non-infected..... bro still remembers all the texts and shit

[bitchfitch]
