Strange Love

Request: Would you write for Dr. Strange & Reader? If yes, reader is his wife & before the accident he never respected her, even though she is a Dr like him, he belittles her, doesn't talk to her, feels ashamed. Later becoming the master, he sees her through portal that how dedicated she is & how dearly she loves him. All fluffy & maybe a passionate love making?

Pairing: Dr. Strange x Reader

Characters: Christine Palmer, Ofc

Warnings: angst, abandonment, Stephen being a douche, accidents, arranged marriage, smut, unprotected sex, comforting, fluff, remorse

A/N: Okay, this is my first-time writing smut for Dr. Strange.

“Why weren’t you at the gala with Stephen?” Christine, your best friend asks. “We were all wondering why you did not attend.” Blinking a few times, you must process what your friend just said.

“Gala, oh-yes. I had a terrible migraine and told Stephen to go alone, you know I didn’t want to ruin his night with my stupid problems,” you lie, not meeting your friend’s eyes.

“Sorry to hear,” Christine stiffens a smile, knowing you lied again to hide Stephen did not tell you about the gala last night. “How about we have a girl’s night next weekend?”

“I don’t think you should waste your precious time, Christine. Don’t you want to become the second-best?” Your husband smirks, not sparing you a glance. Anytime you talk to one of his colleagues he acts as if you do not exist.

Stephen always gives you the feeling that he belittles you, not taking your career seriously as you are only a pediatrist to him. You love working with children, saving their life’s but to Stephen, it is not the job his wife should have chosen.

Even though you are a doctor, had the best grades he acts as if you are not smart enough to talk to one of the neurosurgeons.

“I am better than you one day,” Christine smirks, not caring Stephen glares at her. “Even Y/N could beat you, but she chose the best job ever, saving the lives of our future.”

Stephen sneers, shaking his head he shrugs your talent off like it is a burden to hear someone talk about you and your work.

“Do you know how I became the best, Christine,” your friend groans and you give her a weak smile knowing Stephen will not give up.

“Enlighten me, Dr. Strange, tell me your secrets,” while you mouth a goodbye to Christine she gives you as sad smile, not liking your husband ignored you again.

“Study and practice. Years of it.” Stephen muses, not recognizing you left the table minutes ago. “You should follow my example.”

“No thanks,” huffing Christine gets up to point toward the empty chair. “I don’t want to become like you, heartless and oblivious to the only person loving you, Dr. Strange. Stop treating her like she’s a liability.”

“Listen, not that this is any of your business but I'm using trans-sectioned spinal cords to stimulate neurogenesis in the central nervous system, and she puts broken legs into a cast or cures a cold,” Stephen replies coldly.

“Why did you marry her if there is no respect or love on your side, Stephen? This is ridiculous, even for you. Everyone was missing your wife last night, everyone but you.” Christine storms off.

Arranged marriage. Stephen never thought he would end up chained to the foreign woman in his bed. He never found the time or energy to get to know you better.

When his mentor, the man at his alma mater offered him the position at the hospital if he marries you, Stephen took the chance. Now years later he still got no clue who you are, and honestly, he’s not interested in finding out.

“Do you have to go to work? Do you want me to make you breakfast?” sleepily you turn around to find Stephen half-way out of the room, not answering your question. “I get it…”

Days passed without Stephen sparing you a glance. You wanted to tell him about the new position your boss offered to you.

Knowing it’s useless to even mention anything according to you or your job you keep the good news to yourself.

Usually, you would have offered to make dinner but knowing Stephen will refuse to join, you left the house to aimless walk around town.

Panicked you run through the hallway, try to find anyone who can tell you what happened to your husband.

“Christine,” panting you run toward your friend. “What happened?”

“Stephen had an accident, it looks, bad,” she whispers, not meeting your eyes. She can hear desperate sobs leave your lips believing your husband will die.

“No, god no, Y/N. He’s not going to die, but his hands got damaged and no one is as good as your husband.”

“He will live, anything else doesn’t matter to me,” you sniffle. Christine bites her tongue, not saying what’s on her mind.

Months spend with research; expensive experimental treatment and no results took a toll on Stephen and you. He is moody, always offended when you try to help him.

When you suggested taking the job as a professor your father offered to him Stephen threw things at you calling you things which never left his lips before. Now you barely talk to him, only make sure he eats.

Before you believed Stephen will turn toward you one day, that he will need time to get to know you better. You even believed his accident could be the chance for you to prove you will stand by his side no matter what.

Stephen had other plans…

He’s gone for months now. Stephen said something about a healer and left without looking back. You took the new job to pay the debts Stephen left before running off to find a non-existent healer.

“Y/N, Sweetheart you should think about my words. Divorce Stephen,” your father tries. “He’s nothing but a burden. Not the brilliant neurosurgeon you married.”

“I don’t care if he’s a neurosurgeon or not,” your fist slams onto the table causing your father to flinch. “I love Stephen, even if he doesn’t love me back.”

Unbeknownst by you, Stephen found the person he was looking for and so much more. He found a world and powers beyond his imagination and now, as a master he inherits the powers to open portals to see how the world has changed since he disappeared.

“Don’t be a fool, daughter,” your father sighs deeply, opening a folder to show you the number of debts you will have to pay back. “I can help you if you agree to part ways with Stephen.”

A bitter taste on your tongue you get up, toss the napkin onto the table before you turn to leave your father’s dining room.

“Love means to not give up on a person only as he’s in a bad place, father. I will not leave Stephen even if he will never come back. I meant what I said,” taking your coat you do not turn around to not show your father your tears. “I loved him, always will, even if it’s unrequited.”

Stephen takes a deep breath watching you through one of the portals he learned to create.

He never took the time to get to know you, never saw the love burning in your heart but now, his mind and heart are wide open when he recalls all the nights you waited for him, eyes red-rimmed as you cried yourself to sleep.

“No, I haven’t heard of Stephen in months, Christine. Can we just not,” sniffling you wipe your eyes, “talk about him now? Dad wanted me to divorce my husband. I drown in debts and I can barely concentrate at work. I am close to losing my job too.”

“Y/N,” a deep voice calls your name and you drop your phone taking a step backward. “It’s me, Stephen.”

“Were you at a costume party? Is it Halloween, no…it’s too early,” blinking a few times you drink your husband's outfit in. He is wearing an odd necklace which looks like an eye. A red cape frames his body and you wonder since when Stephen wears such ‘eccentric’ clothes.

“I found the place I was looking for, Y/N,” his voice softer than you remember Stephen steps closer and you take another step backward. “All the wonders I have seen, felt, and experienced, my love.”

“Okay, Stephen,” stammering you look for your phone, fearing your husband lost his mind. “I get you were at a strange place with odd people but running around like a,” not finding a word for the costume he wears you point toward the cape.

“Magician, a master to be correct,” Stephen smiles, he really smiles, and your stomach drops, believing he got drugged. “Look,” the cape leaves his body and you suddenly feel dizzy when the fabric wraps around your body to push you into your husband’s arms.

“I am dreaming,” falling against Stephen’s chest you lose consciousness. “You’re not here.”

“My love, how do you feel?” Stephen whispers while his cape drapes around your body.

“Stephen, what is that thing?” scared you press your body to Stephen’s chest, shaking like a leaf. “Where were you and what’s going on?”

“It’s a long story, but don’t be afraid my love, he’ll not hurt you,” his hands gently cup your face and you wonder what Stephen is up to when his lips silence your mind. His tongue sweeps over the roof of your mouth and you whimper silently.

“Where have you been?” He is picking you up, ignoring your question. Heart racing, mind clouded you let him carefully place you onto your shared bed.

Just now your eyes land on his hands, his healed hands. “Your hands,” gasping you watch Stephen run his hands over your arms, caressing the skin with his fingertips.

“So beautiful and warm, soft and pure,” his voice lulls you into a cloud of warmth and you close your eyes, just feeling his lips touch your neck. “Can you forgive me for not seeing. For being blind for too long?”

His hands carefully open your dressing gown and you gasp, feeling his erection prominent against your thigh. Lips travel down your collarbone and you cry out when Stephen suckles one nipple into his mouth.

Sex was always like a duty to Stephen. Clean, fast, and without any passion but the man working his way down your body to press a chaste kiss to your mound could be a stranger.

“Let me take this off,” voice thick with lust now he slides your panties down your legs, groaning as your heat is at full display. “Did I ever tell you that your aura is overwhelming?”

“Aura,” gasping you watch him strip his clothes off in a hurry. Your eyes roam his body and you wonder how his hands can grip your thighs.

Months ago, he could barely hold a fork and now he spreads your legs, holds you open to settle between your thighs.

“It’s like looking at a rainbow or something indescribable to watch you open up for me,” shuddering under Stephen’s gaze you reach out to touch him. His breathing quickens when you wrap your hand around his length to stroke him slowly.

There is something in your husband’s eyes you never saw before – adoration, love even. He is pressing his lips to yours, as you let go of his length to slide your fingers through his hair.

“Stephen,” a broken moan leaves your lips feeling the tip slip in. Your hands grasp for anything to hold on tight when he slowly sinks into your heat. “I’ve missed you.”

“How could you miss me, the cold-hearted man ignoring you too long,” whimpering you wrap your legs around Stephen’s waist, not answering his question as the first thrust takes your breath away. “I wish that I was a better man.”

Between kisses, soft touches, and whispered words Stephen takes his time. His hips roll deliberate against yours, letting you feel his twitching length with every thrust. “Cum for be beautiful.”

“I…I can’t,” crying out you grip his shoulders, not liking the cape floats close to the bed. “He’s looking at us.”

“OUT!” Stephen yells and the cape leaves the room. “Now back to you, Y/N.”

Lips nibbling along your neck your husband hums against you with every long stroke. “Now cum for me.”

A tiny whimper leaves your lips, followed by a scream of his name when you fall, hard. Your blunt nails bite into his back feeling his warmth fill you. Another new development. Usually, Stephen used a condom, but not this time.

“You know, now I gotta pee thanks to you,” laughing at your words Stephen looks down at you, a smirk on his lips. “Doctors advice, baby.”

“You mean magic exists, just like different realities. That cape is magical and,” humming you close your eyes to process everything Stephen told you. “Now you are the protector of New York?”

“Something like that, Y/N. Do you want to meet Wong?” Humming you rest your head onto Stephen’s chest, wondering if the new man by your side will change again.

“I am not only thankful that being a master opened my mind and healed my body. It also made me see I was an awful husband and human being,” Stephen kisses your hair, smiling as you sleep peacefully. “It’s strange, the feeling of loving you but I kinda like it…”

Come over [Petopher]

Day 1: "Can you come over?"

For the @petopher-events

Tags: trans character, teenager Peter, teenager Chris, rimming, oral sex, crossdressing.

[It's not betaed so if you find any mistake, let me know]

[AO3 link]

Come Over

Peter's phone rang with Chris' ringtone. It was weird because a) it was a call, not a text, and b) it was Thursday night. They usually hung out on weekends and kept their interactions to texts the rest of the time. They had to be careful after all, coming from a werewolves pack and a hunters family respectively. So Peter was immediately on alert.

“Yes?” he answered in a neutral voice.

“Can you come over?” Chris asked as a greeting.

“What happened?” Peter asked worriedly.

“No-nothing, it's... it's... Can you come over or not?” he sounded nervous, his heartbeat was a little faster than usual, but Peter couldn't hear anything else amiss.

“Won't there be scary parents waiting to shoot me?” If Chris needs him, Peter would find a way around them to get to him no matter what.

“They went with Katy to a party or something. There's no one. Peter, please,” he begged with a desperate tone. How could Peter say no?

“I'll be there in fifteen.”

It usually took twenty or twenty-five minutes to get to the Argent's house from the Hale House. But Peter was known to have little respect for speed limits (for authority in general), and since he was the mayor's son, he always got rid of the speed tickets.

Peter got into his car and drove to the Argent's house. He parked a couple of streets away and walked the rest of the way. He made sure there was only one heartbeat in the house and rounded the house to Chris' window. It wasn't usual for them to meet there, but it wasn't the first time either. The window was open, the light was on, so he just climbed to it and got a leg inside before he saw what was inside. There was Chris, dressed in a dark blue dress. Peter tripped and face-planted on the ground. Much for werewolves reflexes.

“Wow. If I knew this was what took me to have you at my feet,” Chris said with a nervous chuckle and a blush on his cheeks.

“Oh, darling, you know I'm always at your feet. On my knees or however you want me.” He got up, trying to ignore that he had just made a fool of himself.

He looked closely. Chris was barefoot, the dress covered him to mid-thigh and it was loose on the hips but tight on the waist. It didn't have sleeves, and the neckline wasn't too low but enough to show some of his light chest hair. Peter adjusted himself in his jeans, they were too tight all of a sudden.

“I need your help,” Chris said, turning around. “With this.”

He was signaling to the zipper of the dress, but Peter could only look at the way the skirt covered his ass making it stand out.

“Peter!” Chris exclaimed when the 'wolf just stared.

“Yes, of course,” he said, clearing his throat. “And how, pray tell, did you get stuck in a dress? One that isn't your size at that.”

“It was... It's Katy's... I was just curious... just fooling around...” His heart seemed about to explode.

“Shh, darling, it's okay. I'm not judging, it really suits you.” Peter slid a hand up his hip, raising the dress slightly.

“Peter!” Chris exclaimed a little hysterically.

“Yes, yes, sorry.”

Peter tried the zipper. And tried again.

“It's stuck.”

“No shit, Sherlock!” Chris was starting to get a little anxious, and it was hard to breathe with the dress so tight around his middle.

“Want me to rip it?” Peter suggested, pulling out a claw.

“No! No. My sister just brought it, she'll notice,” he said, getting away from Peter.

“Fine, we can try other ways.” Not that he cared a shit about Kate's clothes. “Maybe pulling it up...”

Peter took the edge of the skirt and pulled it up.

“Oh my god!” he exclaimed, letting go of it.

The blush on Chris face had been growing steadily and now it reached his ears. He wasn't wearing anything under the dress. Nothing at all.

“The- the- the boxers would have...” He was trying to cover his face with a hand while he stretched the dress with the other.

Peter fell on his knees, and Chris became silent.

“Tell me it's okay,” Peter begged.

Chris nodded.

Peter pulled his dress up and buried his face in his groin, inhaling deeply. Chris' cock reacted instantly, more so when Peter opened his mouth and just took him half the way in like a pro (he could be with all the times he had given head to Chris). Peter let go of the dress, and the skirt fell over his head. Chris could see his head bowing back and forth under the fabric and that was damn hot. (The skilled tongue and the warmth inside too, but that sight gave it a little something.) Peter's hands slid up the back of his thighs until they grabbed his asscheeks, fondling them like he loved to do.

Then, Peter let his now hard as a rock cock go and reappeared from under the dress. Chris let out a needy whine, grabbing his shoulders to make him come back.

“I love that ass in this dress. Let me eat you out,” Peter asked, a thread of saliva going down his chin.

“Fuck, yes!”

He almost tripped over his own feet in his haste to kneel on the bed. Peter had a wolfish smile on his face. He knew there was nothing Chris loved more, and the sentiment was mutual. The dress covered his ass, and the 'wolf pulled it up slowly until if fell around his waist. Peter salivated. He grabbed Chris asscheeks and parted them. He swiped his tongue over the closed hole, and it twitched at the same time Chris moaned. Peter used his skilled tongue for like felt like hours. The tips of his claws threatening to break his skin (he knew Peter had perfect control, but Peter knew he liked that side of his so he let it out once in a while), a growl deep in his throat, until Chris was a fucking mess, moaning and groaning and clenching the sheets and dripping over them and over the dress. But he just didn't care because he had Peter's tongue inside his hole. And then he just cum without even touching himself and fell over the bed with his body completely lax. He felt Peter cumming over his ass, and he didn't care. He knew how much the 'wolf liked to mark him and he couldn't do it with hickeys like normal teenagers.

Peter laid beside him with an arm around his back and nuzzling his neck.

“I think the dress is ruined.”

Chris groaned. Peter yanked the zipper, breaking it, and Chris was finally free.

“They won't be long,” Chris said, getting up. He let the dress fall to the floor.

“Would you explain me what was this about first?” Peter asked, getting up the bed and arranging his clothes.

Chris started fidgetting, which wasn't usual for him.

“I just... I was just curious. I liked the dress and wanted to try it,” he answered, a good enough lie for anyone else but not for Peter. He wouldn't press, though, if Chris wasn't ready to tell him.

“Ok. If you need help to take off another dress...” Peter teased with a wink.

He turned and headed for the window, but Chris clung to his shirt like a little kid. Peter waited quietly for him.

“What if it's not only curiosity. Or dresses,” he said at last. “What if they're skirts and heels and make up...”

He was about to cry, and Peter couldn't allow it. He hugged his naked love and buried his face in his neck.

“Christopher or Christine, with jeans or dresses, hunter or werewolf, I love you no matter what and nothing will change that.”

Chris sobbed and hugged him with all his might. They didn't have much time until the other Argents came back, but they would make the most of every second.

Fandom Discourse

I have many special interests, and so my blog is very eclectic. But, I wanted to stand in support of a couple of folks who are having a hard time in the fandom belonging to one of my special interests.

I don’t usually like to pile on, but ableism in this fandom is rampant, and it’s time I said something instead of just feeling sorry for myself.

More on this under the cut.

Firstly, I want to elevate the voice of @phandombigotryarchive and @your-angle-of-music who have pointed out a lot of really really important things that I am, as a white person who loves the music in Phantom of the Opera and Erik, still learning, educating myself on, and researching.

I know, for certain, that I have probably intentionally reblogged things from folks in the fandom and/or inadvertently supported folks on AO3 who are actively making this an unsafe space for POC and trans fans. For that, I am deeply sorry and want to do my homework better before supporting artists/writers who are not showing human decency.

Thank you both for the work that you, and others, are putting into the fandom to make it safer for everyone to interact with.

Additionally, I want to speak to my own relationship with this fandom as an autistic person. I knew, as I read through what was being said recently, that it was time to make my own post about something that has been bothering me about this fandom since I entered into it at the age of 13 long before my official autism diagnosis.

To me, as an autistic person, Erik’s story always resonated with me as someone who is neuroatypical. Erik was living and observing neurotypical people while not knowing how to or having the ability to enter into their community. However, he LONGED for it.

As an autistic person, this made a lot of sense to me. I, too, felt isolated from most other people, even if I was in close physical proximity. It was like a mirror where I could see out into the world, but the world couldn’t find me. So, I found the ALW imagery very applicable to the way I saw the world as early as 6.

However, as I entered into the fandom and read fics from other writers, Erik remained trapped behind an inability to communicate EVEN when he and Christine were in a long standing relationship. He was flighty, obsessive, and just down right weird. I began to wonder if that’s how my romantic relationships would be, and if I would ever be able to be “a normal person” in a relationship with someone else.

Erik in most fanfics, even in one’s I’ve mostly liked, does not get to develop beyond the way he is written in ALW or Leroux’s work. We’ve spent so much time making him “in character” without ever exploring the possibility that Erik might be able to engage in his special interests and develop into a fully functional autistic adult. However, I think, that is in part because we like to demonize and/or infantilize and/or fetishize him.

Erik is not a baby. He’s not a sweet innocent child. He has killed people. He’s done wrong. He is capable of feeling emotions very deeply, including anger. He has a lot of depth that can be explored in fic. But, we don’t. We often reduce him to the weirdly-attractive, strange speaking, Angel-man behind the mirror.

I find this most apparent in the way people write Erik’s dialogue.

The way Erik speaks, in the third person I mean, has always been an issue for me when I read fan fiction as well as the original Leroux text. As someone who talks to themselves quite frequently to help process sensory overstimulation/remember tasks, though not necessarily in the third person, I find it really uncomfortable how people use this in fic. I’m uncomfortable because Erik usually does this either when he’s super angry and beating up on Christine OR when he’s super sad and acting like a child. There’s never any mention of Erik talking to himself in the third person (or at all) when he’s pretending people are interviewing him about his latest composition or when he’s just trying to remember something important.

For me, it’s the context that’s important.

This is just one example of what the demonization and/or infantilization I’ve seen in fic in this fandom.

Others include but are not limited to:

1) Erik’s (often violent) meltdowns:

Why are they problematic in fan fiction in this fandom: meltdowns are not just glorified rage fits. They’re scary and overwhelming. I usually fall asleep on the floor shortly after having one. I don’t just yell, throw something, scare people, and then sulk. If I’m violent at all, it’s towards myself.

2) Erik’s obsession with Christine

Why is it problematic in fan fiction in this fandom: a lot of people sort of poke fun at Erik’s social ineptness when it comes to dealing with his romantic feelings for Christine (for example the life size mannequin of her). Yes, Erik loves her. However, do we really have to perpetually treat him like a high school boy? Do we have to make his crush really predatory just for character development? Is this really the only thing he loves? The answer to all of these questions is no - in case you were wondering.

You know what I’d like to see Erik love more? His music and his organ. Can we give Erik’s organ and his music the love and rightful place in his life that they also deserve? For once, can we acknowledge that Erik’s special interests are as important to him as Christine? No. We can’t. We won’t.

3) Putting Erik in socially uncomfortable positions for character development

Why is it problematic in fan fiction in this fandom: Neuroatypical people’s pain is not for you to profit off of in your fics. Period. It’s not character development. It hinders our character development. I am not a more “well developed character” for the number of socially awkward/ bullying situations that I’ve been forced into. Putting Erik in crowded spaces and giving him panic attacks sucks ass. No. Stop doing it. Find a better way, or just stop writing it all together.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it is something that I’ve wanted to bring up for years. It feels nice to get this off my chest.

TL;DR: Erik’s passions, lack of social skills, and other “quirks” of his character always made him a character I empathized with because he was like me. I don’t understand why people use these same quirks to infantilize, fetishize, and/or demonize him. I, an autistic adult, am not a child, not a fetish, and not evil.

I turned twenty in June! I hope everyone enjoyed all my twenty list posts, it’s the hardest I’ve ever worked on this blog, and I’m really happy with how those posts turned out.

I ended up going to London for a few days for my birthday. I went to see my friend’s band perform (Rames, check them out y’all, they’ve got a lot of big things planned) and hung out with friends, and I got to meet my best friend for the first time! She lives on the other side of the world and she happened to be in the country, so we met up in central London and went wandering, and it was so so great, literally the best way to celebrate my birthday.

Reading and most other things were on the back burner for most of the month. Since March I’ve been struggling a lot more with my mental illness and general health, so I had to take a break and just have time to myself to assess what it is I’m doing and need to do going forward to begin feeling better about my life.

READING WRAP UP

My Hero Academia Volume 17&18 by Kohei Horikoshi– this is the conclusion to the Overhaul arc and it was pretty satisfying! It’s also very sad, which I expected but I cried a lot more than I planned to. I cannot wait for the next volumes to come out so I can hoard them and then binge them in time for season 4!

The Bigfoot Files by Lindsay Eagar– A surprising middle grade that follows a young girl who goes with her cryptozoologist mother to the woods to prove, once and for all, that Bigfoot doesn’t exist. It has some elements of anxiety and self-harm, which came out of a left field but I appreciate, and I’ll have a review up in the coming weeks.

Falling into Place by Sheryn Munir– This was actually so boring. I wanted to enjoy it so much but it failed. The focus on food was GREAT, and I love their jobs, but it moves way too quick to ever invest in the characters, and I really don’t like the elements of cheating, both kissing outside of a relationship and emotional cheating. I went into this having been told there’s no cheating, but there definitely is, and it just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Midnight and Apollo by Steve Orlando– We love gay superheroes! I love that this is all about their love and I’m so glad I finally read a comic about them. However I do recommend reading Orlando’s Midnighter series before picking this one up!

No.6 Volume 3&4 by Atsuko Asano– I’m enjoying reading this series. It’s a real throwback for me, the anime is one that got me into anime and finding more content with LGBT+ characters.

Shame Is An Ocean I Swim Across by Mary Lambert– This is Lambert’s poetry collection and I absolutely love it. It has a lot of poems on body image which is what got to me the most, but it also has poems on sexual assault, incest and trauma, and mental illness. It’s a very hard hitting collection, and one of my all time favourites now.

Trouble by Non Pratt– UKYA is out here and it’s trying to ruin all my fun. I really hated this book, it’s full of typical white feminism and ‘not like other girls’ vibes, and some of the worst treatment of grooming and incest I’ve seen.

The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried by Shaun David Hutchinson– THE BEST possible follow up to Trouble. I listened to the audiobook and it was just so great: it examines friendship, jealousy and the breakdown of relationships, as well as self-esteem and acceptance. Great representation too!

Coffee Boy by Austin Chant– A re-read of one of my favourite novellas. It follows a trans man who starts to work as an intern on a political campaign and grows closer to his humourless campaign strategist, Seth. Highly highly recommend it!

Smooth Criminals #5&6 by Kurt Lustgarten– I am enjoying this series! I love the friendship between the two main characters and the whole heist plot is at a head now, looking forward to the next issues.

Faithless #2 by Brian Azzarello– This is such a fucked up series and I’m loving it. It’s got explicit sex scenes, gore, and is just really bizarre.

And my July TBR Jar pick is…. THE DEVOURING GRAY by Christine Lynn Herman!

TV SHOWS/MOVIES/VIDEOS

I binge watched all of Mista GG’s To Catch a Predator videos. Obviously triggering, and his humour may not be for all, but he has great commentary on the episodes and I honestly feel like it’s educating watching this show to begin recognising patterns of abuse.

MUSIC I’VE ENJOYED

I actually made a music playlist that has all of the songs I’m circling through and delete/add songs as time goes by but here’s some recommendations:

Be My Mistake by The 1975

goodnight n go by Ariana Grande

Do Re Mi by Blackbear

Unforgettable by French Montana (i’m so sorry i’m always on my bullshit for this song, i love it)

REVIEWS I POSTED

Small Spaces by Katherine Arden

Three Soft Sci-Fi Reviews: When the Sky Fell on Splendor, The Loneliest Girl in the Universe, Save Me

Three Horror Reviews: This is Not a Test, The Silent Companions, Uzumaki

OTHER POSTS I’VE DONE

Pride Month TBR

Update: Asking For Help!

Top Ten Tuesday: Twenty Horror and Contemporary Reads

Twenty Anticipated Releases (this is one of my favourite posts I’ve ever done)

Music Monday: Twenty Songs You Should Listen To

Film Friday: Twenty Films That Made Me

Twenty Books That Made Me

Picking My Summer 2019 TBR!

June Wrap Up & July TBR Jar Pick I turned twenty in June! I hope everyone enjoyed all my twenty list posts, it's the hardest I've ever worked on this blog, and I'm really happy with how those posts turned out.

The Most Pointless Character in Sonichu

Taffy here. This was a post I made for the Kiwi Farms forum on the most pointless character in Sonichu in late October 2017, and I took up the challenge to prove every single character has no point. This was kind of my beta version of what would become Taffy’s Annotated Sonichu, so I thought it would be worth reprinting here (also I’m sorry it’s taking me so long to get more CWCDefense or GitM up, I’ve been really sick for the past two weeks and I’m just now trying to get back in the swing of things).

Chris's comic persona and fursona are pointless because he could have just lived vicariously through Sonichu and not have an in-comic presence.

Sonichu himself became pointless after Chris took over as main character but was already pretty pointless since really Chris could have just written a straight Sonic fanfic with Sonic as the lead in the first place. Besides the occasional electric attack and the complete lack of an original personality he's basically Sonic.

That said, all the characters ripped wholesale from Sonic or Pokémon (Sonic himself, Perfect Chaos, Robotnik, Giovanni) are pretty pointless as they were dropped not long in as Sonichu grew to have its own canon with its own crazy cast of characters.

In addition, any character ripped wholesale from any other franchise (Beavis & Butthead, Bugs Bunny, Meg Griffin) exist solely for "fan service", or rather fan disservice.

Rosechu is extremely pointless, all she does is A) be a token girl, B) prove Sonichu is STRAIGHT, and C) occasionally face rape someone. That said The Incredible Lioness is probably the closest we get to a real character with a point, rivaled only by the Voltorb that kills Simonla. They have simple purposes (to brutally maim and murder) and they do them to a T.

Kel is pointless since Rosechu could have just been Chris's Pokémon to begin with and she didn't need to exist as a middleman.

For that matter, any character best known for being a Moon Pal (Bill the Scientist, Metal Sonichu, Yawning Squirtle) or just as a meme in general (Inos), while being great for laughs, are all pretty irrelevant background characters.

Reldnahc Notsew Niatsirhc exists solely for Chris to physically obliterate his sexual insecurity.

Any Jerkop or Manajerk exists solely for Chris to vent his frustrations with real people who were just doing their jobs. Same goes for Hanna.

Blake is too inconsistent to have a point to existing. He was a pointless villain-of-the-week at first and then he was a pointless supporting character.

Sarah Hammer and Wes Iseli are particularly pointless because Chris' relationship with Sarah was already waning when he wrote Sonichu 2. Since the reincarnation plot point was dropped not long after, you can honestly skip Sonichu 2 entirely and not miss anything.

Mary Lee Walsh, while being awesome, is like the jerkops and manajerks just there essentially as a comic book voodoo doll. Maybe the point of her was to show that Chris can in fact write an interesting and badass female character? We'll never know.

Count Graduon is pretty redundant with Mary, power wise. Other than to vent frustrations with his graduation he's really pointless.

All of the Chaotic Combo are basically team filler filling out some elements that the rest of the team lacks. Specifically:

Wild Sonichu doesn't really have a personality. He's pretty redundant with Sonichu himself, other than, of course, we need a green Sonichu. The one thing that possibly could have made him interesting, the struggles of being a single father, are really rushed over so Chris can get back to the murder spree. His only notable father-daughter bonding experience was drilling a man to death.

Bubbles Rosechu, aside from being the token blue Sonichu/water type, finds one Sonichu ball and then returns to being a moron.

Angelica Rosechu, although I imagine her original purpose was to be a pacifist voice of reason and a token religious character, well, that got thrown out the window pretty quickly. The things that differentiate her from Bubbles besides their powers are few and far between.

Punchy Sonichu is just the token red character and the token Asian. Seriously I don't even know what "fighting type" means. In fact, why not make him fire type? It's the one element missing from the Chaotic Combo (Bubbles is water, Wild is earth, Angelica is air, Magi-Chan is ether/heart/mind, no one's fire!) (Note 26/11/18: I now know Fighting-Type is a type of Pokémon, but nevertheless “Fighting-Type is one of the weirder types. The Pokémon types are elements, supernatural creatures... and martial arts. And yes, the Fighting-Type icons in the series are red while Fire-Type is orange, but from a team balance perspective fire would have made sense).

Magi-Chan, especially after being paired off with Silvana taking away his sole unique trait of not being driven around by his penis, is just Chris's round the clock surveillance system.

Boulder Dropping Whale would have been useful if he actually killed Bubbles's mother but since he failed he's just a great meme.

Why does Flame the Sunbird even exist? He's literally just Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie and his role could have easily been filled by Wild or Bubbles or anyone because that stupid Sunstone doesn't even matter, except it does make everything grow like Norma, whoever she is. Norma is the most relevant character in that whole issue. (Note 26/11/18: Yes, I named Nadine’s mom after this typo.)

Again, Darkbind and Zelina are crimes against nature. (Note from an earlier repost): I am referring to a previous post complaining that Darkbind and Zelina were the combinations of not two but four franchises (Sonic, Pokémon, Zelda & Darkwing Duck) and came off as clunky because of it.)

Crystal the sister is especially irrelevant now that Chris is a girl (why not make her a trans man to mirror Chris' own transition? Oh wait JERKS.), but she was always redundant with Rosechu and Chris himself.

Sailor Megtune - why didn't he just draw Megan herself? We know he's okay drawing her.

Megagi - Already kinda redundant with Megtune and she really had no reason to exist after Chris & Megan had that falling out.

Jamsta and Lolisa speak for themselves at their uselessness. I mean, they are just bit characters anyway. But as someone else mentioned before their radio station is particularly shitty.

Patti-Chan, while her story is cute, just exists as a way for Chris to hold on to his beloved pet and not fully cope with her loss.

Allison Amber, although being one of the better characters, wouldn't need to exist if Chris would just do some work for once. That said if the point of her character was to be an audience surrogate (I mean, until she shoots a man in cold blood) then for once Chris succeeded.

Bionic the Hedgehog as previously mentioned is just there for the sake of having an orange Sonichu, even though he isn't one.

All of the specific characters of Chris's "real life" "sweethearts" (Pandahalo, Blanca, Ivy) as well as their OCs (Jiggliami, Blazebob & Chloe, Layla Flaafy) are pointless because they all just disappear almost immediately after they're introduced after Chris finds out they were a troll or they "died".

Likewise any rendition of one of Chris' real life trolls (Jason Kendrick Howell, Clyde, Jack Thaddeus, Alec, Evan, Sean & Mao) are again just there as pen-and-paper voodoo dolls for Chris to take out his frustrations on. The trolls in particular almost work against Chris' point in including them because no matter how much Chris paints himself as the hero his violent murder sprees always end with him looking like the villain. (Justice for the Asperpedia Four!)

Beel is just Satan and a secretary for the 4-cent-garbage building. Pretty pointless.

Zapina is just there as a token "cute" character.

Simonla is just Wild's token sweetheart and then later the lynchpin Chris needed to justify executing his enemies.

Silvana, while another fairly interesting character, is just a villain-of-the-week with an added dose of Chris's sexual insecurity.

Sarah & Rita Jackarass - These two are both stupid minor characters, but why on Earth did there need to be two of them?

GodJesus exists solely to heap praise onto our beloved autist.

Those stupid Samurai Pizza Transformers are stupid. I hate them so much. I hope they burn in the Earth's lava core.

Sonichu & Rosechu's children are initially just there to be cloyingly cute and then once they're grown to be Chris's LGBT mouthpieces, forgetting that we won't listen to anything they say because we already hate them. Of special pointlessness is Cerah, because while Robbie is the most punchable he's at least the focus character of a lot of the newer stuff (even though we hated him as a Sonee, we hated him as a Sonichu, and we'll hate him as a Rosechu), and Christine is vapid she gives credence to the idea that Magi-Chan is giving it to Rosechu behind Sonichu's back which is way more interesting than canon. Cerah does jack squat besides be a lesbian.

The Asperchu cameos are just there for Chris to try to force Alec to give him what he wants and the Basement Rosechus are just there to slander Alec's name.

Sandy is particularly irrelevant since Simonla's back, she was never anything more than a replacement goldfish for her.

Kevin the Jew - I knew it! I knew it all along! Peppermint Patty is a boy!

Bananasaurus - Don't listen to your Patreon backers Chris.

Lastly, Russel & Cynthia are just there to fill the Sonee/Rosee void left when Cera Christine & Robbie evolved, a void no one in particular wanted filled.

Edited (27/10/17) to include all the MLP characters and Chris's ponysona - We hate them and we want Sonichu back.

Doctor Strange (Strange x Reader) Chp. 1

(A/N: this is going to be the reader insert version of the movie. I have actually done one on my Wattpad and Quotev accounts but I decided to do it differently. So I’m gonna try it out on here! So if you want to see my original reader insert of Doctor Strange you can go to these accounts. My Quotev profile is RJ. And my Wattpad profile is @LayceJ25 )

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams will take you very far

But when you wish upon a dream

Life ain’t always what it seems

What’d you see on a night so clear

In the sky so very dear

He begins to wash his hands then he dried them off. Then he puts on a surgery suit, mask and gloves. He sighs with content as he gets ready for his next surgery. This man was Doctor Stephen Strange and he was–no, is–the best surgeon in the world. No one was more talented than him.

You’re a shining star

No matter who you are

Shining bright to see

What you could truly be

As the song plays he begins to tap his foot and dance as he starts working on the brain of the patient in front of him. Then he turns to another doctor, who was sitting in a nearby chair, and said. “Challenge round, Billy.” And Billy pushes the skip button on his iPod and a different song began to play.

Stephen looks up then rolls his eyes. “Oh, come on, Billy. You’ve got to be messing with me.” He said, slightly annoyed. “No, doctor.” Billy said, confidently, hoping to finally stump the great Stephen Strange.

Stephen shrugs then said. “Feels So Good, Chuck Mangione, 1977. Seriously, Billy, you said this one would be hard.”

“Hah! It’s 1978.” Billy exclaimed, excitedly.

“No, Billy, while Feels So Good may have charted in 1978, the album was released in December, 1977.” Stephen informed as he continues his work on the patient.

“No, no. Wikipedia says the…”

“Check again.” Stephen ordered, firmly, and Billy begins to Google the info as a nurse asked. “Where do you store all this useless information?”

“Useless? The man charted a top ten hit with a Flugelhorn.” Stephen replied to her then turned and asked. “Status, Billy?”

Billy sighs and said, in a defeated tone. “1977.”

“Oh! Please.”

“I hate you.”

“Woah! Feels so good, doesn’t it?” Stephen said, triumphantly, when he looks up and saw a familiar face at the small glass window of the door. A woman with (h/l) (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes was standing there, looking right at him. She gives him a look that said need your help and she kinda jerks her head to the side.

He stares at her as one of the nurses sees the woman at the door and turns to Stephen. “Oh, I…I’ve got this, Stephen. You’ve done your bit. Go ahead, we’ll close up.” She said and Stephen nods at her and runs out of the room.

*Your POV*

Stephen walks out of the surgery room and up towards me and asked. “What is it?” I hand him the tablet with a patient’s X-Ray and he begins to look through it. “GSW.” I replied. “It’s amazing you kept him alive. Apneic, further brain stem testing after reflex test…I think I found the problem, Dr. (L/N).” Stephen said then he turned the tablet to face me to reveal a bullet was still lodged in the man’s head. “You left a bullet in his head.” He said.

“Thanks. It’s impinging on the medulla. I needed a specialist to diagnose brain death. Something about that doesn’t feel right to me.” I said and Stephen raises his head slowly then said. “We have to run.” And he turns to run and I follow him.

****

We make it to the patient’s room, only to see West and Christine arguing as West was pushing the patient’s bed. “You know she won’t like this!” Christine argued with him. “What the hell is going on?” I asked as Stephen and I make it to them. “Organ harvesting. He’s a donor.” West replied.

“Slow down. I did not agree to that.” I said to him, angrily. “I don’t need you to. We’ve already called brain death.” West said as he keeps pushing the bed some more but Christine kept blocking the way. “Too premature. We need to get him prepped for a suboccipital craniotomy.” Stephen said to West. “I’m not going to let you operate on a dead man.” said West, firmly.

Stephen pulls up the X-Ray on the tablet and shows it to West. “What do you see?” He asked. “A bullet?” West said, confused. “A perfect bullet. It’s been hardened. You harden a bullet by alloying lead with antimony. A toxic metal. And as it leaks directly into the cerebral spinal fluid.” Stephen said.

“Rapid-onset central nervous system shutdown.” West said, realization setting in.

“We need to go.” I said to Stephen after I shined a light in the patient’s eye then I nod at Christine and both of us grab the bed. “The patient’s not dead, but he’s dying. Do you still want to harvest his organs?” Stephen asked West, sarcastically, and he follows Christine and I out towards the surgery room.

“I’ll assist you.” West calls out after him.

“No! Dr. (L/N) will assist me. Thank you.” Stephen shouts and the three of us run out of the room.

****

Stephen and I were prepped and ready for the surgery as they rolled the patient in the room. “Thank you.” I whispered to him and Stephen turns to me and nods at me. “Image status, STAT.” I said to the nurses. “We do not have time for that.” Stephen said to me. I look up at him, confused, and said. “You can’t do it by hand.”

“I can and I will.” Stephen said, firmly, as he looks me straight in the eyes.

“This isn’t the time for showing off, Strange.” West said.

“How about ten minutes ago, when you called the wrong time of death?” Stephen asked West, annoyed and angry, as he glares at him.

Stephen gets to work as I hand him a plier and he inserts it into the patient’s head and on screen we could see the plier was just inches away from the bullet. But Stephen stops as the room goes silent, well except for a ticking noise from a watch. “Dr. West, cover your watch.” Stephen said, lowly.

West rolls his eyes but covers his watch with his hand and Stephen looks back at the patient. Carefully, he moves the tool deeper into the brain, grabbed the bullet and pulled it out. Christine holds up a Petri dish and Stephen places the bullet on the dish and everyone sighs with relief.

Moments later, Christine, Stephen and I walk up to the patient’s family and I informed them that everything turned out good and the man was going to live. The wife smiles as she sobs and hugs me. The two kids begin to laugh with relief as the wife hugs Christine. Then I introduced them to Stephen and told them he was the one to save their loved one and the wife hugs Stephen, who was very awkward about it as he gives her a side hug.

****

Stephen and I were walking down the hallway of the hospital as I said. “You know, you didn’t have to humiliate him in front of everyone.”

“I didn’t have to save his patient either. But, you know, sometimes I just can’t help myself.” Stephen said as he does a strut and I shake my head and chuckle. “Nick is a great doctor.” I defended. “You came to me.” Stephen informed. “Yeah, well, I needed a second opinion.” I replied.

“You had a second opinion. What you needed was a competent one.” Stephen said. “Well, all the more reason why you should be my neurosurgeon on call. You could make such a difference.” I said to him. “I can’t work in your butcher shop.” Stephen said and I roll my eyes at him. “Look, I’m using trans-sectioned spinal cords to stimulate neurogenesis in the central nervous system. My work is at least going to save thousands for years to come. In the ER, I get to save one drunk idiot with a gun.”

“Yeah, you’re right. In the ER, you’re only saving lives. There’s no fame, there’s no CNN interviews…” I said, sarcastically, making Stephen laugh. “Well, I guess I’ll have to stick with Nick.” I said and Stephen stops and stares at me. “Oh, wait a minute. You’re not…you guys aren’t…” he asked and I look over at him, eyebrows raised. “What?” I asked him. “Sleeping together. Sorry, I thought that was implicit in my disgust.” He said as we continue to walk and I just laugh and shake my head.

“Explicit, actually. And no, I have recently made a rule against dating colleagues.” I said to him as I give him a side glance. “Oh really?” He asked, intrigued. “I call it the Strange policy.” I said with a smile.

“Oh, good! I’m glad something is named after me.” He said as I stopped and turned to face him. “You know, I invented a laminectomy procedure, and yet, somehow, no one seems to want to call it the Strange technique.” He said as he furrows his brow then raises an eyebrow in a flirtatious way.

“We invented that technique.” I chuckled as I gesture towards me and him. “You know, I gotta say, I’m very flattered by your policy.” He said and the both of us chuckle then I look up at him as he says. “Look, I’m talking tonight at a Neurological Society dinner. Come with me.”

I place my hand over my heart, faking a surprised look, and said, sarcastically. “Another speaking engagement? So romantic.”

“You used to love going to those things with me. We had fun together.” He said.

“No. You’ve had fun. They weren’t about us, they were about you.” I said. “Not only about me.” He said. “Stephen. Everything is about you.” I said then I looked into his eyes then let out a sigh. “But if it means that much to you…I’ll go with you.” I said and Stephen smiles at this.

“Pick you up at six?” He asked and I smirked and nod as I leave. “Maybe we can hyphenate. Strange-(l/n) technique.” I hear him say to me. “Uh…(l/n)-Strange technique.” I said as I turn and point at him and I see him smiling and laughing.

****

That night, I was doing last minute touches on my hair as I look myself in the mirror. I was wearing a black cocktail dress that came down to my knees, black high heels and a beautiful necklace that Strange gave me after we went out a few times when we were in med school and in return I gave him a watch with an inscription on the back:

Time will only tell how much I love you

(Y/N)

I was putting on the finishing touches on my make-up when I heard the doorbell ring. I smiled and grabbed my clutch bag and walked over to the door. I open it to reveal Stephen Strange looking very handsome in a tuxedo. My heart stopped as I take a good look at him.

“Like what you see?” He asked, bringing me back down to reality. I blink then said, in a teasing tone. “Maybe.” Then turned, shut the door behind me and locked it. He holds his hand out to me and I smile as I take it and he leads me to the passenger door to his Lamborghini. He opens the door and gestures for me to take the seat. I smiled as I climb into the car and Stephen shuts the door and he walks over to the driver's side and climbs in. He starts the car, pulls out of my driveway and we take off.

****

Stephen weaves the car side to side as he passes the other cars on the road, flying right past them like a rocket. We were just talking about a few things when his phone ring. Stephen pushes the answer button as we approach a very curvy road.

“Billy! What have you got for me?” Stephen asked, after he puts the phone on speaker. “I’ve got a 35-year-old Air Force colonel. Crushed his lower spine in some kind of experimental armor. Mid-thoracic vertebral fracture.” Billy replied to him.

“Well, I could help, but so can 50 other people. Find me something worth my time.” Stpehen said and I elbowed him in the shoulder. “Ow!” He grumbles as I roll my eyes at him.

“I have a 68-year-old female with an advanced brain stem glioma.” said Billy. “Yeah, you want me to screw up my perfect record? Definitely not.” said Stephen. I rolled my eyes, once again, as Stephen passes by more vehicles on this winding road. Billy continues. “How about a 22-year-old female with an electronic implant in her brain to control schizophrenia struck by lightning?”

I raise an eyebrow at this as Stephen said. “That does sound interesting. Could you send me the…” But then we heard a ding and Stephen looks down and said. “Got it.” He looks down at his phone as he was passing another car. I happened to look out my window, looked down and saw that we were really close to the car. “STEPHEN!” I shouted when suddenly we were hit and the car began to swerve and skid across the road.

I screamed as the car spins and flies off the road and the car begins to roll. I don’t remember much but I do remember hitting my head against the window to the passenger door and I remember some kind’ve searing pain in my right arm, close to my wrist. Then the car finally stops and I realized I was upside down. I groan in pain as I taste blood in my mouth and look over to see Stephen’s face was all bruised and blooded. “(Y/N)…” I hear him say weakly before I pass out.

****

Next thing I knew, there was a bright light shining on my face and I slowly open my eyes. It took me a few minutes to realize that I was in the hospital. I see the bright overhead lights above my head then I look to my side and see that I was being wheeled into a room. I see a couple of people I recognized as they looked down at me with concern but I look over to see if Stephen was nearby but I couldn’t see him as my vision goes in and out.

“S..S…St…Ste…Stephen.” I said, weakly, but it was loud enough for the nurses to hear as they looked down at me and began to say something but I couldn’t comprehend it as I pass out once again.

17 Questions for 17 People

Thanks @its-bianca for tagging me in this! Sorry it’s taken so long, we’re in a third lockdown and I’m pretty sure my body thinks that time no longer exists.

Nicknames: Kim, Kimbo, Kimberlim, Kimothy, Kimberley Dibberley (For some reason my family thought that a nickname based off Cat’s other personality from Red Dwarf, Dwayne Dibberley, was funny and it’s stuck with me my whole life), as well as KIIII (shouted by my sister when she was about 2 and couldn’t pronounce my name, my best friend now yells it when she wants my attention) and Kim-Kim by my Dad who refuses to believe I’ve grown up (beats Kimberley Dibberley any day)

Height: 5'9 - towering over most men is fun, I suggest it to all of you, I’d rather round it up to six foot, but I probs stopped growing at 20.

Hogwarts House: Well I got Gryffindor when I first went on that site, but being my goth self I had to take the test again until I got Slytherin - as far as I remember I had unicorn hair (or horn?) or something of the like in my wand but I’m not gonna fuel JK’s anti-trans pockets by visiting Pottermore ever again.

Last thing I googled: The soundtrack for Futurama’s Luck of the Fryrish episode, I knew Simple Minds were on it but I could’ve sworn Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty was on it, but apparently not. I spent a good half hour trying to sing it into google with their new song-analysis thing to no avail, so I ended up siphoning through all the songs Lisa Simpson has ever played on her Sax to find out what it was (I should be doing my dissertation proposal but my tutors haven’t got back to me yet so what can ye do).

Song stuck in my head: yknow wha I’m just gonna list the songs that have been stuck in my head so far today because it’s too many to be just one as I keep cycling through them (also gonna link them so you can see how garbo weird my music taste is)

Run - Joji Alive - Pearl Jam Clinging On For Life - The Hoosiers Tension - Avenged Sevenfold Boots of Spanish Leather - Bob Dylan Nutshell - Alice in Chains Jaded - Aerosmith The Sea of Tragic Beasts - Fit For an Autopsy

I’ll add my current favourite at the bottom too for good measure (Honestly I spend way too much time listening to music and I regret nothing)

Number of followers: Currently 85. I’ve got about 2k on my main blog but I’ve not touched that since July 2017.

Amount of sleep: Good lord, so I aim for 8 hours, sometimes I only get 5.5 or something along those lines, other times I depression nap during the day and can’t sleep at all, sometimes (like this morning) I’ll go to get up at a normal person time such as 9am when my body naturally wakes me up, but it’s so dark and gloomy outside and cold in my room that I just stay in bed and end up accidentally falling back asleep. 12pm gang rise up xo

Lucky number: 7

Dream Job: Hopefully I get somewhat successful in monetising my hobbies, I’m working on it all atm (I don’t know why but I really hate telling people about my plans because I’m deathly afraid they’ll mock me or do whatever they can to ensure it doesn’t happen, I’ve got this list of things I need to do for my own mental health sellotaped to my laptop stand that had things like when to clean the house, do my laundry, shower, exercise etc, and my old flatmate/friend saw it the other week and mocked me, so I haven’t followed it since and need to find some sort of other way of organising my life instead). But yeah, hopefully hobby based, I don’t want to be stuck in an office job all my life, and I want to leave the UK (although I don’t want to leave my family) so hopefully I’ll be successful enough to bring em all with me.

Wearing: Well I was gonna wear jeans and my Unus Annus longsleeve but I decided to go full kitchen witch and wear this black milkmaid looking dress with long sleeves that I’d bought for work when I got my thigh tattoo started (all the old men appreciated the legs but I didn’t make any more tips, oops)

Favourite song: My favourite song of all time would be The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony , the band formed at my college, has great meaning and has resonated with me since I first saw the music video after it was played at my Stepdad’s funeral in 2002. Weirdly enough on my last day of college, right after my last exam, I went to get the bus home - put my Spotify on shuffle (bearing in mind I’ve got 805 songs on this playlist) and this came on straight away. That’s probably not important to most people, but being pagan, I like to think that small things like these are signs from loved ones that have since passed. Not too happy that it’s used as the England Rugby theme because it gives me anxiety every time as though I feel like everyone hearing it doesn’t have the same emotional connection with the song as I do, but idk. I saw Richard Ashcroft live and he played this and I legit bawled my eyes out in public, safe to say I’ll try and hold it in next time. I suggest you all have a listen to the song or even watch the music video for it, it’s the most simple but most meaningful music video to me.

Favourite Instrument: I’m left handed and I had this Yamaha acoustic guitar that my stepdad gave me - and taught me to play when I was about 5, a few months before he died (it’s still weird to me that I had no idea he had cancer at that point and instead spent his last few months teaching me his favourite hobbies) all he had was right handed guitars, so he taught me to play Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters upside down on this 20 odd year old right handed acoustic. He hadn’t played upside down himself before but did it so I could see what he was doing. I remember sitting in our green living room on the couch with him moving my hands to the right position (I don’t know where my mum was in this scenario, probably in the kitchen). He’d brought this guitar with him the first day I met him, it was probably like 11pm but I was 4 and thought it was 3am or something, but I heard voices coming from the living room and had gone to investigate - there sat my mum and my stepdad having Chinese on the living room floor, laughing together, my stepdad saw me and had brought sweets for me and my brother for when we woke up, but he beckoned me over, gave me a lollipop, stuck a two litre bottle of tizer in front of me and told me to dip the lollipop in the drink and lick it (not a good idea as I would’ve been bouncing off the walls, but I think I must’ve had a sugar crash and fallen asleep). My mum had no idea he was coming as he’d sneakily been texting her, asking what her favourite drink was, her favourite food and flowers etc, after they met in a pub when my mum was at a hostel with my brother after my Dad had taken me. My mum told him that the council had given her a place and he decided to show up and surprise her with all her favourite things and play guitar for her after my brother and I had gone to bed, I don’t remember much time passing before we’d moved into his house (where my mum and her new husband live to this day), but they got married a few months later and I still can’t play that Metallica song (I did try to teach myself more of it though). I also had this black left handed Ibanez prestige that my Dad got me for Christmas about 9 years ago, I could play quite a lot on it but eventually just stopped. Very good at piano though.

Aesthetic: I’m not sure what this entails but I’m a sucker for neon/RGB/cityscapes and that type of malarkey. Also space. Love da space. Also whatever Cornwall would be considered as. Cottagecore? I think that’s only an animal crossing related aesthetic but I’m claiming it nonetheless.

Favourite Author: I’m a big goth so it has to be Stephen King by default. I’ve got copious first editions of his books from the 70′s and 80′s that my Mum bought when she was a teen. At my flat I’ve got Carrie, Christine, Salem’s Lot, Misery and The Shining first editions and the others are in my room at my Mum’s house. I don’t tend to read for joy like I used to, or write for fun either but I’m hoping I do more in 2021. Currently reading The Outsider by King, it sounds eerily familiar to a novel I wrote for coursework in college in 2014 and I’m half pressed to think he’s stole my brain ideas. I’m watching you Stephen. Always watching. Always.

Favourite animal sounds: I don’t have favourite sounds, but my husky Nanook is my favourite animal because he’s dumb and I love him. Also Kookaburra sounds are terrifying and you all should go listen to what a koala sounds like. When I go to Adelaide (hopefully this year, if not next) I am NOT stepping foot in a nature reserve unless I’ve got an anti-kookaburra noise suit on. They obviously don’t exist so I’m gonna have to make one.

Random: I’m part of a viking reenactment group where they use actual swords and fight each other, and we have to basically sign our lives away when we join, to say that if we die, it’s not the groups fault. I don’t actually do the fighting though, I’m part of the villager group, so I do all the crafting and food making and most of the teaching when we do shows. I’ve not yet been to a show as I’ve had uni to go to, but my parents, sister and brother do - They stayed within Whitby Abbey last year during the Viking festival where everyone did the show and the adults got drunk round campfires in the castle grounds. Zacky Vengeance once complimented my shirt if that’s something. I’m also colourblind, got glared at by Liam Gallagher in the Liverpool Echo Arena parking lot and have too accurate a sense of smell.

Sorry this was so long, obviously I felt like word-dumping and my brain has a lot to say as I find too much meaning in these things. Thanks again for tagging me! I’ve not got 17 people to tag as I don’t interact with anyone at the moment but I’ll come back to this and add people as the week progresses :)

Discovery

(Firefly Diner, The Hollow)

Christine looks at Victoria, surprised. "You need advice?" Christine says, trying to figure out if she heard the other right. Victoria sighs and places her head down. "This was a mistake. I'm sorry," Victoria starts to say before Christine cuts her off. "No, no, V. You're fine. I'm surprised, is all. You don't usually ask for help," The witch says sheepishly. Victoria smiles at her shyly. "I don't have a lot of experience or knowledge of these things, Chrissy," Victoria says with a far-off look. Christine nods, wincing at the memory of war. "Well, what do you want to know first?" Christine asks, trying to refocus both of them. Victoria blinks at the woman, looking very lost. Christine lets out a small giggle at the look. "Okay, what do you know about identities?" She asks instead.

Victoria perks up a bit at the question. "I know there are many kinds. For example, Scarlett goes by she/they, and Celeste is a trans woman," Victoria looks proud of herself for knowing so much. Christine is impressed but wonders about something. "That's great, V. However, what do you think of your identity?" The witch asks tentatively. Victoria tilts her head to the side. "What do you mean?" She asks, confused. "Do you think she/her fits, or something else might be better?" Christine explains, watching Victoria's face turn pale. There's a solid minute of silence from the other. "V? You okay?" Christine reaches out to touch the others hand. Victoria slowly looks at the other with glossy eyes. "I...I don't think I'm a girl," Victoria's voice is quiet. Christine caresses the other's hand gently. "Do you think he/him would fit?" She asks softly, trying not to startle Victoria. "No," Victoria shakes her head as she answers. "They don't feel right." Christine thinks for a moment. She hesitates to bring it up but knows it may be correct. "Do you feel like they/them would fit?" Victoria's eyes snap to Christine. They look hopeful and euphoric, mixed with some fear. "So you're nonbinary?" It sounds more like a statement than a question. Victoria nods and takes a deep breath to steady themself. "I can't," They say, looking at Christine fearfully. "Everyone knows me as a woman." Christine feels her heartbreak for the other. "V, you're never too old to discover yourself," She reassures them. Victoria gives her a half-hearted nod. "Do you have any name ideas, or are you okay with Victoria?" Christine wonders if asking may be pushing the other too much. "I've always liked the name Vic," They tell Christine with a slight blush. "Alright, you're Vic, and your pronouns are they/them," Christine says, pulling their hand close to herself. Vic looks like they want to cry but manages to keep it in. The two of them move on to more light-hearted topics until they leave. Before parting, Vic grabs Christine's hand. "Hey, Chrissy, can you keep this a secret?" They ask shyly. Christine gives them a bright smile. "Of course, Vic. I won't say anything until you're ready," She tells the other confidently. Vic smiles and gently kisses her cheek. "Thanks. See you later, Christine," They say before heading to the clinic. Christine stands frozen for a moment before grinning. She didn't know where this was going, but she knew she wanted her friend happy more than anything.

(A/n: Childhood friends to lovers, slow burn addition. I love these two so much. They are very oblivious to their love for each other. They are the couple everyone thinks are dating but aren't. Also, Vic discovery arc. They've always supported their friends but never thought of themself. Of course, even having an idea of what they are still brings fear given how old they are and how others may react. Still, I'm really happy I could officially get down what they are and the name they like most. I feel bad that I'm going to write others' points of view and have them call them, she/her and Victoria. However one day Vic will tell their friends and be able to be themself. I hope you enjoy and have a fantastical day!)

Rules: Put all of your phone’s music library or your Spotify – no playlists! – on shuffle. List the first ten songs that play. Bold the song(s) that lift your mood and italicize the song(s) that makes you the most emotional. Then tag ten people!

Thank you to @eirenical for tagging me (and I’m sorry I took so long to do it myself)

I'm doing a set from my iTunes and a set from Spotify

itunes

Shine A Light (Reprise) - Heathers

Krywaniu - Megitza Ensemble

Out of the Walls - Tom McRae

Finale - Innocence Dies - Marie Christine

Gina, Don't Call Me - Flying Machines

My Party Dress - Kerrigan-Lowdermilk Live

Dialogue 6 - Heathers (the Pinata scene at the party)

i hate this song so much, it just makes my skin crawl

I find it hilarious that Spotify skipped exactly one song to get here

Finding other people to tag is always the worst part of this kind of thing, but here we go! @chrismcshell @artisticthingem @theweefreewomen @tropesarenotbad @crossgartered @aflamethatneverdies @amysterywrappedinanenigma @trans-peridot and anyone else who wants to

#music #not quite liveblogging my life #friendship is great!#spotify has all the songs that i don't have on itunes so it's an even mix of new musicals i haven't bought and stuff i found while browsing #but iTunes has a few CDs i bought at my college radio sales every semester #so there's some weird ones there too

“our funds will be diverted to the frisby golf team” “YES” “omg jake”

i feel like jake’s dialogue was kind of monotone and didnt have enough pauses

are they using a live band for the music? because the trumpet just fucked up

the squip is so EXTRA i wanna see himmmmm

also i just remembered the theory about hiw the trumper blare and the cutoff of the regge time beat was to simulate optic nerve blocking being turned on and it made me sad

but then i was unsad because i remebered how much of a fuckin BOP this whole musical is!!!

lol sarcastic play rehersal is great

in the “from a guy that id never be into” song (sorry i dont know the name) christine sounds less infatuated and more powerful. not sure i like it

((Mod post!! Gonna answer some questions for me that have been sitting around for a while, sorry the response is so late ;w;

Everything’s under the cut to save space 0w0 ))

Anonymous said: Okay but totally loving the concept of Michael as Gil and Jeremy as Oz??? Like, freaking Alice is Christine (even tho its totally a personality clash apart from the childish aspect but shhhh) and just yes

YEAH MAN...any type of PH crossover is good hhh but GOSH imagine Michael like. After growing up and spending ten years looking for Jeremy like Gil did ahh my heart aches!! And Jeremy coming back pouting like “You’re taller than me now that’s totally not fair, M” Christine would make a really cute Alice I think, just seeing her dress up like Alice and having her kick ass as the B-Rabbit?! Hell yeah!

zekromztk2 said: Out of all of the Pandora Hearts characters, who is your favorite? Mine is... probably either Alice or Oz

HELL I LOVE GILBERT I’D DIE FOR THAT MAN LEGIT;; I love Oz and Break a lot too and! RUFUS BARMA AS WELL I ADORE HIM

Anonymous said: did I hear Harry Potter?

Ye man talk to me about the Marauder days any time I love talking about Sirius, James and Remus getting into shenanigans at Hogwarts hoo boy

Anonymous said: (Hey mod, so basically Jake and Rich are just gonna be background characters with kind of their own stories?)

Yes! Jeremy and Michael are the main focus here, but Jake and Rich sort of have their own thing going on in the background as more minor characters to the overall blog! I want to make a more developed backstory for the treasure hunter girls and Christine as well, so we’ll see how that goes~

Anonymous said: Thank you so much for introducing the novel this AU is based on to me!! Now that I've finished reading, I understand a lot more about this AU and now I want to ask... Would you consider Mr. Heere/Reyes as Morrow?

You’re very welcome, it’s a great novel so! I’m glad more people are reading it after having run into this blog, I must spread the pureness that is Aech to all of humanity //shakes fists And yes! Mr. Reyes is Morrow, I can imagine him sort of contributing to the hunt with lots of theater related things, which Christine specializes in! Book!Squip is Halliday, and there’s actually a little more about that and his relationship with Jeremy that I want to get into later.

Anonymous said: ((I had literally never heard of ready player one but I lov this blog so much I actually went out and bought it. Consider me murdled dead))

Yeah man like;; I didn’t read the novel until this past summer and after that I just got so into it and BMC at the same time so? I combined the two and here we are! Aaah I’m so glad!! Like I’ve said before I love it when people come tell me they went out to buy the novel and read it because of me, it makes me so happy :’) Hjrhjd please don’t die lol

emibeani said: ((I just finished reading Ready Player One, and thank you so much for this blog.))

I’m glad to hear it!! And you’re very welcome, I honestly didn’t expect so many people to get into but I’m super appreciative of all the interest you guys have shown so far so?? Thank you!!

Anonymous said: THIS IS NOT A ASK, BUT, OMG, THIS AU IS FUCKING PERFECT.

Glad you like it, ty! ;D

aslyn-is-artsy said: Your art is absolutely amazing

Hrhrhgfh I’m blushing thank you wow;;

aslyn-is-artsy said: Thank you so much for showing me this amazing book. I now aspire to become the real version of Art3mis. Just with short blonde hair instead. ;)

No problem!! It’s such a fantastic read and I was honestly blown away by it, so yeah...! Haha yeah I love Arty! She’s such a badass character and she doesn’t put up with any of Wade’s shit, which is great, she’s so empowered and I adore her

theitalianscribe said :I don't remember if this was answered, but is Michael trans male in this au?

Nope! I mean if you want to headcanon him that way that’s fine, I won’t stop you! I’m not going to endorse that since I myself don’t see him being that way, but you all are entitled to your own opinions so! And even if he were trans that wouldn’t be the main point of the blog anyway, I’m focusing more on their actual relationship, not their sexuality or gender or anything like that ^^

Anonymous said:i checked the book Ready Player One out from the library just because of this blog! are there any other books you recommend? (i havent finished the book but i like it so far i think!)

Oh nice!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Ahhh hmm well if you like supernatural teen stories, there’s a series called Darkest Powers by Kelley Armstrong about this girl named Chloe who finds out she’s a necromancer after being sent to a “troubled teens” home, and she meets these boys named Simon and Derek who also have special abilities and then all sorts of crazy things happen! I first read it back in high school and I still love it a lot, so yeah it’s a trilogy and all of the characters are really great so! (I looooove Simon like. So much.) Check it out if you have the time, it’s a good read!

kitikat101 said: Random potential song parodies: I Love the OASIS (I Love Play Rehearsal), Find That Egg (Be More Chill, pts. 1 and 2), Two-Player Game (but with Joust), Oases In My Head (Voices In My Head)

Kit can I say how much I adore these song titles they fit so well I’m really tempted to make parodies for all of them, absolutely brilliant

geeklychic1012 said: So are we allowed to send in fanfics based on this blog? (Cuz I submitted one but my wifi is shit and I think Tumblr might have eaten it haha)

YES!! Please do I’d highly enjoy reading stuff from you guys! And yes I saw and it breaks my heart like. Why. I’ll post it soon for everyone else to see too! They must all suffer as I have hfhdjhgjg

Anonymous said: Who would be I-r0k in this au? Or would I-r0k still be his normal jerk self?

I’m actually...not sure :0 There aren’t enough characters in BMC to properly cross over with all the rest of the RPO characters so;; I might have to go through the BMC novel and find some obscure background character to sneak in as I-r0k lol, because I would like to have all of the RPO characters replaced by BMC counterparts, if that makes sense!

theitalianscribe said: Does someone else take Halliday's place in this au? Also, do the gunters have a shared obsession with pop culture from a certain time period? What time period?

Yeah, I mentioned that up above! But Book!Squip takes over the role of Halliday, and musical Squip is Sorrento, of course~ Honestly I’d say like, probably the early 2000s, since that was when I was growing up and I can actually make references back to that time lol? I mean I love the 80s as well, just as it is in the book, but I feel as if I don’t know enough about that time period to actually. Make proper references and constantly. (I mean I could ask my parents who lived during that time too but;; haha.) Most of the stuff on here are me self-projecting, like with video games, books, and anime, that’s all me lol

Anonymous said: " “You don’t need to sell me on anything, Wade,” she said. “You’re my best friend. My favorite person.” With what appeared to be some effort, she looked me in the eye. “I’ve really missed you, you know that?”My heart felt like it was on fire. I took a moment to work up my courage; then I reached out and took her hand." aka perfect au is perfect how does it fit S O well

!!! yEAH MY DUDE I LOVED THAT PART and just imagining Michael saying that to Jeremy I wanted to cry;; I don’t even know but the INSTANT Aech was introduced I was like “Ohhh man. I’m getting major BMC vibes here” and bam, a week later this blog was born lol

Anonymous said:Would you be okay with cosplay of your character designs? I can't do one anytime soon, but they look really cool (and jerm's hair honestly looks fun to do)

YES!! OH MY GOD I’d probably die of sheer happiness if you guys cosplayed these dorks! If you want I could draw a character ref sheet so you actually get a proper look at their outfits! But yes I’d highly enjoy that;; like the cosplay doesn’t even have to be accurate I’d still love it anyway, and doing things like acting out some of the asks here (I’ve seen it be done before and it’s so cute!) would be totally okay too! But yeah as always TAG ME or submit it here so I can see it aaaa I’d love love LOVE that! ^^

Anonymous said: SPECIAL BOY SPECIAL BOY SPECIAL BOY SPECIAL BOY SPECIAL B
