Apologies for the repeat ask, I just think mine got lost in all the others and now that you're answering asks I just wanted to try again so please ignore the first one if you manage to find it (again, really sorry if this bothers you and thanks for taking the time to read all of this). First off, I absolutely adore this AU!!!! I love how dark and angst-filled it is and the toxic relationships and the characterizations as a whole are so brilliantly well-done. You manage to draw me deeper and deeper into this twisted fiction with you and your co-writters masterful ideas and art. Not to mention how refreshing and relieving it is to be able to enjoy all of this angst without having to worry about if the individual(s) behind this truly feel that those kinds of relationships work that way (ie. romanticises/normalises it). All in all, thank you so much for all the time and effort you and your co-writors have put into this, it's greatly appreciated and I can't wait to see more!!!
P.S. I feel like Hateful Ever After by Ellise as well as a bunch of her other songs plus Paparazzi by Lady Gaga work really well in encompassing the vibes Addams Leosagi gives off. Maybe some of Upsahl, Will Wood and Confetti (especially Rob a Bank) songs for Addams Mikey too?
Thank you gain for taking the time to read this huge text dump and I hope you have a wonderful day(s)/week(s)/month(s)/year(s) because you deserve it and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!!
No worries!!!!! I see every ask I get, I just have like. The lowest social battery ever, and for some reason asks are included in that (yeah, idk either) so I don't answer often. Your words are so, completely, absolutely screamed and fawned over.
We love dark themes and it's nice to see that you agree!!!!! All the dynamics and stuff are always so fun to work on and flesh out, how toxic relationships manifest in loads of different ways and how to portray that correctly. Labor of love, for sure!!!! Sad that some people do romanticize or normalize it, but all there is to do is be better then they are, yk?
Thank you for your kind words!!!!!! They are so so appreciated, you don't even know!!! We have lots of stuff in the works, which is so exciting (and nerve-racking, lol).
Now, song reccs!!!! Hell yeah >:]]]]]
For Hateful Ever After, I think the tone is really Leo, but the lyrics hit me over the head with Usagi. Like, Spot on!!!
Don't tell my brother, please // I know he worries about me // Seen I've been losing sleep 
The ones who told me all I need to know // But, I can't go back even if I want
Four eyes to watch each other cry // Three lies, you whispered to me that night // Two arms to hold my broken trust // One heart for the both of us
AS FOR PAPARAZZI?????? THE FACT ITS SO LEO *AND* ITS GAGA????? LEO WOULD LOVE GAGA OH MY GOD. LOVED THESE LINES.
I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me
But I won't stop until that boy is mine // Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Look at the past blast, I'ma make you fall on your ass // Suck it up and pacify, but it's irrelevant
As for Mikey, I do love those!!!! ESPECIALLY Rob A Bank (hell, I put it on my OWN playlist, it fucking slaps). I also really like Ghost by Confetti for him too!!!! Confetti just seems to be really good overall LOL
I didn't listen to too many songs by each artist, just some of the first that popped up, but I really loved both Drugs and People I Don't Like by UPSAHL for him too! That's really how Mikey approaches his fame and the people he has to interact with because of it. He's there for the drugs and the party, not for the people. And he's aware they aren't there for HIM, but the connections he can give them.
As for Will Wood, Main Character is SOOOO Mikey. Bro really would call people NPCs LMAOOOO. I loved the line "God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being." That alone definitely made it an insta-add to his playlist :]
GOOD LUCK READING MY TEXT DUMP RIGHT BACK!!!!! HAVE AN AWESOME DAY TOO <333 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR ASK!!!

(For the writers truth and dare ask game)
I was unsure how many I could pick so I chose two, 🍓 because I’m genuinely curious and 🍦for the fun of it!
Also excuse me for not interacting as much as I usually do, but now I’m back :)
(From this ask game)
Thanks for the ask! I always love them :D
🍓 how did you get into writing fanfiction? 
Oh that's something I haven't thought about in a while! Okay, so my first introduction to fandom was through DeviantArt. I grew up on transformers and went looking for cool fanart. I found some but couldn't comment without an account, so I made my first fandom account. I wasn't planning to post anything, but a stranger followed my empty blog and sent me an encouraging note saying they couldn't wait to see what I did. (I still think of them, we never became mutuals or anything, it was like they were a benevolent fairy godmother telling me to create, and then I never saw them again, but I owe them a lot!)
So I posted a few drawings and followed a bunch of people and groups on DA. I began reading fanfiction there. But I still never even thought to post my own work at the time.
But circa 2014 I am very invested in reading fic and I have a favourite Transformer character (Starscream) whom I have created an entire backstory for (sparked by a take I didn't agree with in a fic). I'm deep into mentally writing stories, with my own Mary Sues and everything. It's my daily pass-time, daydreaming these stories and meta.
It still doesn't occur to me to write any of these until one day I'm watching The Hobbit, and Ed Sheran's I See Fire plays and hits me like a lightning bolt. This song is perfect for my fav character!! Someone's got to have written about it, right???
So I scour fanfiction sites (I can't remember if I'd started reading on Ao3 yet, but I'd definitely been on FNN) but No One had written this Very Niche idea???
And that's when the concept of writing my own fic started. I just had too. The idea was too good. So my first fic was a song fic writing on the DA STASH program (not even Word lol. This thing didn't even have a word count, and my editing process was to read the wip backwards word for word, searching for misspellings or other typos).
And after that I suddenly realised that if I wanted people to see my fav character in the same light I did, I had to write it. And so it began.
I eventually started posting on FNN, and then in 2016 on Ao3. My first Marvel fic followed a similar process where I got an idea and it was just too good and people needed to know about it, so Lessons Learned was written on STASH. (I think around then I finally moved to Word XD). I still have an old account on DA, but I haven't been active on it in many years. It does hold a special place in my heart for being the place I started learning about fandom and writing in though.
So I guess I started writing fanfic because no one seemed to be writing my stories, and I had Opinions that needed to be shown.
🍦 name three good things about a character you hate
Oh geez, lemme think.
Quickest name comes to mind is Rumlow. But that's in a Love to hate situation. I know some people like to redeem Rumlow, but I love how he can shorthand so easily as just the worst guy you know.
He's just the worst (positive). No matter what AU you're reading you know any character named Rumlow is going to be the worst scum ever.
I mean, I've heard about what it's like to live with large, bad burns. So good for him for making it through the acute period and living with it I guess.
Kind of ties in to the first point, but there's not much he wouldn't believably do. You want an unhinged bad guy? Rumlow will help you out. Does he have morals or did he lose them with the burns? Your choice writer! He's up for anything.
Hope you enjoyed the ask! Oh and don't feel bad at all about engagement! I know how life can get sometimes and I'm not ever going to get mad for something like that.

I've been doing the thirty day art challenge with my character Red :} Along with the prompts I added that I wanted to do all of these with the limitations of doing them in MS Paint, to practice poses, expressions, and such and practice figure work/drawing a pose just by looking at it ! So have the first weeks worth of art! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More information/rambling about the art provided under the cut!
The prompts in order were: - Random Pallet - Expressions - As A Magical Girl - Old Design - Aesthetic Swap - Different Species I had so much fun with this during the week after work, really getting my creative juices flowing! My favorite days HAVE to be, in order, Day 3, Day 5, and Day 1! Day 3 is my absolute favorite by far I am very happy with how it turned out but Day 5's pose and composition is very nice as well. Now I wanna drop some notes about each day :} Day 1: Pallet- SUPER FUN The pallet was from a generator website I just so happened to get one that looked SO GOOD TOGETHER. It reminded me of Red getting all shy and romantic thinking about his boyfriend Vitriol while out working in the field Day 2: Expressions- NOT MUCH THIS DAY ACTUALLY. Mostly just wanted to see how varied I could get his expressions while himself not being a super expressive character! Again another visit from Vitriol :} Worry and Relief: A story in two parts Day 3: As A Magical Girl- THIS DAY WAS SO SO FUN I've also been doing this with my fursona and I saw the magical girl prompt and my head went two places: Sailor Moon and Toyko Mew Mew. I went with drawing Red in Tuxedo Masks costume and decided to save the Tokyo Mew Mew idea for my sona :} Again I am super SUPER happy with the posing and perspective on this one, my favorite of the bunch. May make it my icon some places honestly. Day 4: With An Old Design- This one isn't my favorite. I really didn't know what to do with this one because Red's design hasn't changed very much, since I've only been drawing him for MAYBE a year or two! So just a headshot of how I use to draw him :} Day 5: Aesthetic Swap- ANOTHER SUPER FUN PROMPT!! Red is a country boy so naturally an aesthetic swap would be... Greaser/Bad Boy! He's got the leather jacket, the sunglasses, and he bakes bread :} Yes I absolutely ran with this idea because of The Bad Bread Boys. This is probably my favorite pose wise, I am SO happy with this pose especially cause it's without a reference Day 6: Different Species- This was a no brainer! Red is a feline minecraft origin oc and I'd already drawn him with a different origin as a one-off during a Gartic Phone game! So this is Red but if he was an ender origin ! :D And that's it! This was super fun, can't wait to do more!!

Hello! Congrats on this awesome start on your monster lover blog! This is my first ever anon message I've sent, so sorry if I sound/write(?) a little awkward! ^^;
I found you through your other blog, first with your ST writings and then I just kept reading through all the other stuff you've written.

(PS, I already love cute, shy, teeny pixie gf! Yes, I would love some little kisses smooched all over my face, thank you. *u* PPS, King Bee?? Like, fluffy MothMan, but Pervy Bee?? Oohh :0 PPPS, maybe, perhaps, if you would want, you could include a Big, Muscular, Beefy(heh) Minotaur person, who'd, you know, be able to easily put you on their shoulder, regardless of your own stature 'cause you're a lil human and they're biiiig, and give you a lil tummy/thigh smooch any time they want... Just spitballin' here-)
Anyway, I don't know how to end this, so hope you have fun with this blog! Have a nice day! :D

El sat on Mike's couch, fiddling with the supercomm while the rest of us gathered around the D&D table.
"We just tell our parents we have AV Club after school. That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood." Mike states.
I nod my head in agreement. I never liked lying to my mom, but this was our best bet. If it will give us time to find Will, I'm all in. However, based on Lucas's nervous shifting, he isn't as sure.
"You seriously think that the wei- uh, El knows where Will is?" Lucas darts his eyes at me as he catches himself.
"Just trust me on this, okay?" Mike pleads.
"He's right. Will would do the same for any one of us." My words come out softer than anticipated and I look to Lucas, Mike then Dustin. I can tell they agree with me.
"Okay."
"Did you get the supplies?" Mike asks the three of us.
I straighten up, ready to present what I brought to the table. Lucas perks up, reaching down into his backpack and begins listing off the things he brought.
"Yeah. Binoculars... from 'Nam. Army knife... also from 'Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana, and the wrist rocket." He pulls out the yellow wrist rocket excitedly, and I chuckle to myself, impressed.
"You're gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin asked, unimpressed.
I scoff and look at my brother, knowing well enough it was better than what he brought.
"Well, what were you planning on doing, throwing a Nutty Bar at it?" I ask with a hint of humor in my tone. Lucas however, takes offense to Dustin's words.
"First of all, it's a wrist rocket. And second of all, the Demogorgon's not real." I look down at my shoes. "It's made up. But if there is something out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye..." he pulls back the empty sling and lets it loose, nearly hitting Dustin in the face. "-and blind it."
I have to say, I've got to agree with Lucas's logic here. Then again, we never thought that anyone could move things with their mind and look what El did. I am pulled from my thoughts when I hear Mike sigh.
"Y/n?" He looked to me hopefully.
"Well, with all things considered, I figured at one point or another we would end up needing this." I pulled the makeshift first aid kit from my backpack. Among it was a handful of ace bandage wraps, gauze, ointment. Some band-aids, and even a small pair of tweezers.
I smile proudly and look to Mike who nods his head in approval. "Good idea. We don't know for sure what we are up against." He looks to my brother. "Dustin, what did you get?"
Dustin perks up and empties the contents of his bag out onto the table.
"Well, alrighty." I look to my friends to try and gouge their reactions. "So, we've got..."
Dustin begins naming off all the snacks he brought as Mike and Lucas stare at him with a confused glance.
"-Nutty Bars, Bazooka, Pez, Smarties, Pringles, Nilla Wafers, apple, banana and trail mix." He finishes off with a proud smile, and I can't help but feel bad for him. I mean, I see where he's coming from. It's smart to have snacks in case, but I also feel like it might be a last resort type of thing.
"Seriously?"
"We need energy for our travels. For stamina. And besides, why do we even need weapons anyway? We have her."
"She shut one door!"
"With her mind! Are you kidding me? That's insane! Imagine all the other cool stuff she could do. Like..." His face lights up and he runs over to the plastic Millennium Falcon and picks it up. Oh, this'll be interesting.
"I bet... that she could make this fly! Hey. Hey. Okay, concentrate. Okay?"
I stand there, crossing my arms with an amused look on my face.
She stares blankly at him as he lets the toy fall to the ground with an obnoxious clatter.
"Okay, one more time." She looks back at him, the faint look of mock confusion crosses her face and I bring my hand up to my mouth to try and hide the growing smirk.
"Okay."
I notice from the corner of my eye as Lucas drops his head in what looks to be a mix of disappointment and embarrassment.
"Use your powers, okay?" He drops it again and I can see the amusement in her eyes, which only makes me giggle.
"She's not a dog!" Mike yells.
He stomped over and ripped the toy out of his hands, while I made eye contact with El and we shared a smile.
"Kids! It's time for school!" Mrs. Wheeler's voice carries through to the basement.
We all hastily pack up our things and Lucas and Dustin run up the stairs. Meanwhile, Mike and I stayed behind to say goodbye to El.
"We are gonna need you to stay here, okay?" I ask kindly. She nods her head.
"But you can't make any noise and you can't leave." Michael pleads. She seems uneasy about this but nods in agreement.
"Michael! Y/n!"
I'm about to say something when Mike turns around suddenly and shouts. "COMING!" I jump back slightly, a laugh escaping.
"You know those power lines?" he returns to El, in a completely calm voice, as if nothing happened.
She looks between us confused. "Powerline?"
"Yeah. The ones behind my house?"
"Yes."
"Meet us there, after school." I pipe up, catching on to what Mike was thinking.
"After school?"
"Yeah, 3:15." She sends us an apologetic look, she was clearly confused.
"Mike, what about your watch?" I nudge him, gesturing to his wristwatch. I would give her mine, but I don't have one.
He catches on quickly and begins taking off his watch.
"Ah." Once it's off his wrist, he gestures for her wrist.
El smiles slightly and lets him put the watch on her wrist. She looks to Mike, a smile still on her face as he adjusts the watch. I smile to myself.
'They are too cute.'
"When the numbers read three-one-five, meet us there," I said, grabbing her attention.
She looks down at the watch and recites my instructions.
"Three-one-five."
I smile at her and give a small nod. "Yeah. Three-one-five."
She smiles kindly at me, then at Mike once more. It might just be me, but I could have sworn I saw him blushing. Suddenly, he jumps up and runs up the stairs. I stand up, and dig into my extra bag I brought from home and bring it over to her.
"So, I didn't want you to be bored so I brought some things you might like." I open the bag quickly, knowing I'm keeping everybody waiting. I pull a couple of puzzles and some paper and pens.
"I don't know if you know what puzzles are but I brought you some of my favorites." I place some of my favorite puzzles on the table next to her and she eyes them curiously.
"It's a picture that is in a bunch of different pieces, and you try to fit them all back together. It's a great way to pass the time. And, I didn't know what else you might like so I just grabbed some paper and some of my best pens. You can draw all you want. I wish we could stay with you, but we have to go to school so nobody will suspect anything. We'll be back. Promise." I smile at her and she returns it.
I swing my backpack over my shoulder and wave goodbye before darting up the stairs.
Halfway up, I stop in my tracks and run back to the bottom for a moment.
"Oh. And if you get hungry, you are more than welcome to have Dustin's snacks." I wink and run to catch up.

Hey everybody! I got some quick things to say.
I screenshot all of the comments I get on the chapters to keep as motivation. They really boost my mood.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you all for the lovely comments! I'm glad you're liking this self indulgent thing I'm making. X3 Thank you for liking my art with it too. It really means a lot that you guys are enjoying the illustrations and comics along with the plot. Not to mention that you guys like my self-insert oc! ;u;
The only reason I haven't responded directly to comments is that my "main" blog (the one that comments) is my reblog account and idk how I feel about using that here XD but I do see all the comments and really appreciate them ;u;
(I really wish Tumblr would let you set and change your "main" blog. Maybe some day... I won't hold my breath tho)
---
On AO3 someone asked if I do commissions and when I said yes, I got a few dms. In case anyone is interested here are my current prices, and basic information.
Cost for each character:
Shading/Flat Color/Line/sketch
Head $55/45/35/20
Half $65/55/45/30
Full $75/65/55/40
Simple prop: +$10~
Major Prop/simple set piece: +$45/35/25/15~
Full background +$50/40/30/20~
I currently only accept via PayPal and US dollar.
Commissions are for personal use only. If you want something for commercial use we will have to discuss more.
My current slots are full, but I add to the waiting list on a first come basis.
---
Ending on a more fun thing :D
I've been writing the next few chapters and am up to the drawing parts again. I'm finally up to Mori being healthy enough to explore the Palace (ch14) and really start to meet everyone. I have a few things planned like being a big nerd with Yam, getting clothes with Pistie, and blackmailing Sharkkan offering Sharkkan an deal he can't refuse, playing with Aladdin & co, and of course flirting with Sinbad. I am open to ideas for bonding and fluffy moments.
I've been making a bunch of fashion sketches for Mori living in Sindria. Would you guys want to see those?
Anyway, hope you all are having a good Friday
-Mori =:3
