PREVIOUSLY ENGAGED?? THE INSTAGRAM CONSPIRACY?? these titles have no business being this interesting (either one is fine!)

no but I'm so proud of these titles rjfjf

pairing: ej/ricky

Instagram Conspiracy is a silly one that's pretty fun, basically the drama club try to figure out who ejs dating from his various vague instagram posts, all without noticing the most obvious answer hehe it's a lot of fun with misunderstandings and obliviousness which kind of reminds me of 'maybe a family is you, your boyfriend and the partners you find out about along the way'

However, Previously Engaged is definitely a favourite of mine. It started as me wanting to write one particular scene but spiralled from there fjfj it's a fic of me asking the question of how many times ej and ricky can pretend to date to get free stuff/get out of things and then taking a reeeeally long time to answer

I have had some trouble with the timeline for this fic as it grew into something a lot longer than I'm used to, but I'm finally figuring it out and settling on them both being aged up to their 20s and then having it take place over a couple of years, it has a very fun ending that wouldn't work if these idiots weren't absolute morons <3

excerpt:

Ricky's eyes widened and EJ smiled, noticing other people beginning starting to pay attention. "Remember when we first met, back when we were kids?"

"I hated you," Ricky laughed, his voice already sounding like he was close to tears, just like they did in the romcoms EJ knew he liked.

EJ carried on from Ricky, "Yeah, but then I let you use my stupid toy firetruck and we became inseparable."

"I don't remember that."

"I do." EJ smiled up at Ricky, "It was my favorite."

Ricky laughed and then sniffed, and EJ kind of got why Miss Jenn saw such potential in him.

EJ got the ring out of his pocket, and everyone else in the restaurant was now fully turned to them, pointing and muttering excitedly. "I want to share the rest of my life with you."

He opened the ring box and took a deep breath, "Ricky Bowen, will you do me the absolute honor, and marry me?"

The rest of the tables in the restaurant seem to be holding their breath and EJ basked in it. They drew it out for a moment, building suspense until Ricky laughed, sounding overjoyed. "Yes!"

EJ jumped up and put the ring on Ricky's finger before sweeping him into a hug while applause rang out from around the restaurant. It felt pretty similar to what the curtain call felt like. He sort of wanted to bow, if that wouldn't give them up.

this is long I know but I love this fic so much it's so funny and sweet and I spend too long rereading it instead of writing it aha

ty for the ask!!!

#hsmtmts #caswen #ricky bowen #ej caswell #sunshine writes #sunshine asks #tysm for the ask!!!! also im very proud of these titles so ty for noticing hehe #rj #ricky x ej #ej x ricky #i wanted to put the excerpt as a different bit but that gives too much away fjfj #Instagram Conspiracy is a lot of fun but Previously Engaged is so <333 #this is such a long response pls #i cant help a ramble!!!!#send me asks about my wips <33 #wip game

I've seen a couple of takes about Disco Elysium being copaganda going around recently, and beyond the fact that DE is relentlessly critical of the police force in general and makes explicit reference to the failures of the system that allow the officers in game to abuse their power, I also think it's important to note that there very literally is an in-world version of copaganda that the writers of the game use to parody that romanticised view of the brutality of policing. The RCM at their inception were structurally inspired by in-world copaganda- their culture, their "fashions, even weapon preferences, borrow heavily from classic Vespertine cop shows." Every investigation is it's own little drama, every officer imagining themselves to be the bad-ass hero of their own crime serial. Detectives name their cases like they're naming episodes of a TV series in a "robust but literary system"; a title that "draws inspiration from snoop fiction and Vespertine cop show staples". They give themselves nicknames to sound like cool, suave fictional officers- Ace, Dick Mullen, etc.- from the cool, suave world of copaganda.

The legend of the RCM's inception, the "point of contention" over its uncertain origins, is even an extention of that; the whole organisation is shrouded in this self-fictionalising mythos that allows for distance that in turn obfuscates much of its violence to the officers that participate in it. They get to convince themselves that they're not abusing their power; they're the hero of the story! The dichotomy of "good guy" taking out the "baddies," a manifestation of the libertarian fantasy of the "good guy with a gun" who does what it takes, just like in Annette's detective novels, and at the same time who rails against oversight bodies like Internal Affairs/'the rat squad' because due process slows down the immediate satisfaction of Swift Justice, despite Internal Affairs existing to protect the citizens from overreach on behalf of the police. "Wanton brutality" from police in their real world is a cold bitter reality but Dick Mullen was "made to crack skulls," "bend the rules and solve cases no one else can," and which version of that story is more comforting to the overworked, underfunded officers of the RCM?

The level of fantasy and detachment required for the cops to still see themselves as the good guys after everything that they do in the line of duty mimics The Pigs and her breakdown too; she parallels Harry so clearly. Both "did right by the kids" in the past, hoping for a better future- Marianne (The Pigs) by looking out for Titus and the Hardy boys when they were young, Harry in his role as a gym teacher. Both abandoned and left behind by the system that the RCM uphold- a brutal capitalist landscape with no safety nets. Both turning the source of their trauma into a costume, a performance, a shield, shaped by "radio waves and cop shows." The Pigs uses RCM items scavenged from the Esperance where they'd been thrown away, while Harry uses the Dick Mullen hat that Annette gives him but both are essentially in costume.

Harry identifies himself with the fictional detective as a kind of wish fulfilment; Dick Mullen is "wicked smart." He doesn't fuck up his cases and when he's sad it's not pathetic; it's effortlessly cool brooding and everyone sympathises. Everyone loves him. His violence- "skull crack[ing]"- is justified because he's a "good guy" enacting that violence against the victims of police brutality sorry "bad guys". He doesn't ever face repercussions; "Dick Mullen won't be sent to the clink for the sake of some legal niceties!" So if Harry is Dick Mullen then his failures, his breakdown, they're all just a part of being a "bad-ass, on-the-edge disco cop." He's not wrong, he's a hero! This idealised fictionalised idea of the police force, this "new, sadly better, reality" that both Harry and The Pigs cling to is "escapist stuff," "receed[ing] into a ludicrous fantasy world," so far removed from the brutal material reality that they're in.

My point is, idk. Disco Elysium is so far from being copaganda. It is a multi-million word long dissection of it, of the purpose of policing, of state sanctioned violence and its interaction with capital and the fallout experienced within the wider community as well as the trauma cycle created for individual officers. A dissection of how copaganda interacts with RCM culture and perception, and by extension how we interact with irl perceptions of police through that lens.

#ouaghhhhhhh disclaimer; i am bad with words and im not sure that i've properly expressed what i'm trying to say but this is getting so long #the cops are not meant to be the good guys #if you think i've missed something here pls let me know!!#disco elysium #harry du bois #DE rambling #marianne leplante #the pigs #actually just one last note- this isnt in response to any one particular thing ive seen but a few different posts comments and articles

Hi folks! It seems like people are discovering that there are people online who write some WEIRD! 👎 stuff for Nevermoor. Some tips and tricks for dealing with that:

Don't engage. Don't read the fics. Don't even comment to say how much you hate it.

Don't spread it around. It's gross as hell, I know! But being like "ew, guys, I found this gross fic" just means you're causing more people to seek out said gross fic, and that's just not great. If you don't want to see it, no one else wants to either.

If you can: block, mute, or filter. I don't really use any fanfic sites to know if these functionalities exist, but I'm sure people online have found ways. Edit: here's a way to do it on Ao3.

TL;DR: Ignore, Ignore, Ignore. 👍

(PS: Same thing goes for when people send weird inappropriate anon messages. Just delete them from your inbox and don't subject others to them.)

This is unfortunately something that's been present for years in the fandom, on both Ao3 and Wattpad. This is also why I essentially don't read Nevermoor fics unless they're for Mogtober, and even then I'm cautious. I have seen some weird stuff written about my favorite characters that I wish I could pluck from my brain and set on fire, or worse! But when I stumble across that stuff, I just quickly close the tab and pivot to something else to get my mind off of it.

We should not entertain these types of people in a fandom full of minors about a middle grade series, so: just don't engage with them, ignore them, filter them out, and maybe even drown them out with some fics of your own.

#good talk 👍#nevermoor #nevermoor fandom #nevermoor fanfic #why oh why does this fandom attract the occasional weirdo.#I'd be using stronger language when talking abt these types of folks but i'd prob get banned.#as an adult in this fandom I feel I have a responsibility to keep folks safe from weirdos 👍 i've banned folks on discord + i'd do it again #years ago there was a weird af fic on ao3 that I noticed folks were kudos'ing and I had to be like. hey guys pls don't do that 😭#unfortunately ao3 moderation and rules are NONEXISTENT!!! so there's nothing ppl can do except the stuff above :/#and I wouldn't know abt wattpad bc I went on there once to see what mogtober stuff ppl wrote and was horrified and noped out of there 😬#anyways. all the more reason to participate in mogtober. so everyone's writing stuff in order to bury the gross stuff. creation for a cause #(and bc mogtober is fun and everyone should participate. lol)#soz for the psa folks but I deemed it necessary 🤷 feel free to enjoy the art I just posted as well #just been on the internet toooo long and don't like the thought or reality of young folks being exposed in any way to this kind of stuff. 😕#couldn't figure out where to fit this emoji in so here: 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. thats me and my constant feeling whenever this stuff pops up again. 😑

Okay, first of all, sorry to bring up the topic in 2022 but it full on makes me laugh my ass off that Kubo must’ve seen Naruto being an absent father and the birth scandal and Naruto’s son doing the same stuff Naruto did for attention and, even with how quickly Kubo had to wrap stuff up, made absolutely sure to include that Ichigo is a STAY-AT-HOME dad who works from home and then have Renji behaving like an absolute malewife while Rukia is a leader in her community and Orihime looks like a total girlboss. Reminds me of the WOTHH wife!

Also Ichigo and Rukia argue over each other’s parenting skills in the epilogue. Ichigo is a more attentive and careful parent while Rukia is kinda carefree (she lets the gay fighting uncles teach her daughter to protect herself so she knows she can handle herself) but is very loving and always bragging about Ichika all the same and it makes Ichigo mad that she doesn’t know where her kid is at that exact moment while Orihime’s Soten Kisshu is keeping tabs on Kazui and his safety at that same moment. Immensely funny dynamics we got here!

Oh, and Ichigo’s friends come over and hang out and it’s actually believable that they are still friends! Seriously! Did I mention the kids are perfect mixes of each parent? Like they actually look like they could be the kids of their parent and there wouldn’t be any doubt who the mother or father is? No question!

Plus everyone is gathered to watch Chad’s Boxing match. The guy is famous and gotten so handsome! And we get a little hint of some Chadishi with Uryuu softly smiling from his work while looking at his phone during his break. This sweet man who loves to help people and would’ve probably been happy with Orihime’s powers in another life is doing that for work. Blessed. We really, really could’ve gotten the bare minimum here but it was refreshing to see not all is lost in a timeskip to adulthood like so.

#didi speaks #text #renruki #ichihime #chadishi #long post cw -#that post series manga w/ sarada activated my fight or flight response #pls do not bully me for caring abt the way a character treats their child sigh

I love the idea of Sarah and Ellie as same aged step-siblings but can I introduce you to the idea of the canon age gap being kept and Sarah, a grown professional woman, laughing at her father constantly for having to re-do the teenage years with another sarcastic teenage girl but this time this one isn't as well mannered or nice.

Sarah broke curfew out studying and smoking pot with her other AP classmates. Ellie breaks curfew because she broke into a building.

Sarah loves it.

“Sarah broke curfew out studying and smoking pot […] Ellie breaks curfew because she broke into a building.” THIS IS SENDING MEEEEEEEE

UM THANK U VERY MUCH ANON FOR THIS INTRODUCTION. I AM YES-ANDING THIS SO MF HARD

wanna take a sec to cred @liveandletcry23 and @maddiesbooknook for the sarah/ellie sibling idea!

what i love about this too is that joel would essentially have to deal with The Teenage Years not just twice, but three times—because from what we gather from the show/game, he spent the majority of his early life being responsible for tommy. and ik this is heavy in some respects but its also just so fucking funny imagining joel going through the wringer with tommy (who i imagine to be a bit of a reckless thrill-seeking type teenager), then raising sarah and being like “oh my god, bless her, look at this sweet little angel baby. i finally get to rest”

and then ELLIE comes in and figures out how to slide down the railing of their staircase before she’s even 5 years old, and he’s just like

#THANK YOU SO MUCH WHOEVER SENT THIS #PLS SEND MORE #other anons in my inbox i am drafting very long responses not ignoring u! ily too!#the millers #sarah and ellie sibling rights!!!!!#love love love love this #tlou #tommy miller #joel miller #sarah miller #ellie miller #ellie williams #asked and answered

ah they just had the fiancee cheat with arguably the slimiest character in the show to try and balance out the leads finally kissing, all of a sudden spells aren't real and the curse is entirely forgotten they're solving everything with lazy ass writing okay

#don't get me wrong - shinyu trying to leave hongjo alone while desperately yearning being protective and playfully possessive/jealous #only to kiss her when he's so overcome with accepting his (and realizing her) truth SHOULD be delicious #and yet... once my bi heart looks past the chemistry/visuals... 😐#destined with you #also implicating hongjo as stealing 2nd fl's man twice for so long and having her slapped - make it make sense pls #like yes she's lonely immature and being wooed made her feel good inside but she never encouraged shinyu's behavior #hasn't even figured out she doesn't like jae kyung or whatever anymore for herself #technically shinyu's feelings aren't her responsibility esp w/o magic but the show's premise rn makes her the 'other woman' to blame #we're in the middle of things unravelling but i s2g if she doesn't have agency or a modicum or self respect/honesty in the next eps.. 🤦🏾‍♀️#but going back to the post - the show could have justified shinyu's breakup with the fact that he wasn't invested from the beginning #or that 2nd fl is a two faced bully and show that forcing relationships bc of status/attraction/history/family pressure ends poorly #but instead it's taking a female character who would be justifiably upset and vilifying her so that her pain seems deserved #she's already unlikable and pitiful (there's like only two women in this entire show portrayed positively) but no #let's make her as 2d & evil as possible to uplift hongjo instead of putting in work to develop the lead/story & appeal to the audience #writers prove me wrong challenge

@apocryphis asked :

"you don't really trust me, do you?" sprawled over one of the luscious sofas in her no less luxurious room in the way over the top hotel reverie on penacony, aventurine casts a glance over to his travel companion, an inquisitive, uncharacteristically perplexed gimmer shining behind peculiar eyes. his fingers, that had been idly playing with a poker chip, stop, and the avgin turns his head to take a better look at yinyue as if doing so would allow him to solve whatever mystery he had decided shrouded her. no memories, golden eyes looking at the world like a newborn would, and ears that never miss a single lie or deception. aeons, she is intriguing. perhaps dangerously so. "you would be both daring and foolish if you did. one quality i admire, the other i am concerned about. so... which is it, rover?"

unprompted. || always accepting

─「银月」─ everything about this planet was throwing her off. the ROVER found herself being both intrigued and cautious about its atmosphere and setting to the point that it became difficult to discern between dreams and reality. that was the point of this world, wasn't it ? an escape. planet of festivities, it's called. she could tell from the very moment she set foot upon it that there were much more than to meet the eyes. the waves and sounds of this world was layer upon layer, stacking up so high and in so many frequency she couldn't exactly put her finger on it.

in place of a large bed one would expect from a HOTEL was a bathtub, one that people here used to enter the land of dreams. how peculiar. as her partially gloved digits traced along the surface of the glowing water itself, her attention was then caught by his voice.

eyes of gold immediately turned to land upon a now familiar figure sprawled casually upon the sofa. as amber optics took in the sight on him, his distinctive eyes were doing the same. it was only a matter of time before their eyes met, and they did. curiosity, was it ? that glimmer sparked within UNIQUE ORBS he possessed. yinyue stepped away from the tub, taking a few steps in his direction. there was a small pause as she tilted her head to the side, eyes never leaving his and —

" why wouldn't i ? " the question was uttered in almost the same manner as her calling out his lies when they first met. spoken as though it was fact, like it was the most obvious thing and she was genuinely perplexed as to why he would ask such a question. in a way, if anyone had heard her inquiry, they would be able to give her a WHOLE LIST of reasons why she should not place her trust in the man called aventurine. that there were many more reasons to not trust him than to do so.

yet, there she was, with her bright golden hues looking at him and asking why not in the most innocent ( or was it naïve ? ) way possible.

the expression on his face was unlike anything she had ever witnessed from him, and yinyue had seen a wide range of what he was capable of. but this wasn't any of those. he simply stared at her like she had just uttered the most absurd thing one could ever done to his face. a blink, as she could feel his waves beginning to shift. it wasn't a disturbance nor chaotic shift, but it was a shift. was it INTERNAL TURMOIL ? conflict ? that's probably the closest to it.

from the exchanges she had seen earlier ever since their arrival to the hotel, it was clear that others did not. trust was the last thing one would give him, and probably the last thing he NEEDED from them, too. he knew that.

just because others do not, was she supposed to not as well ?

she approached him, standing near the sofa but her eyes never left his unique orbs. yinyue didn't think she had ever seen eyes like his before, and dare she say, she thought they were interesting. when she spoke the next words, her expression did not change, nor was she tearing her gaze away.

" are you going to betray me ? "

as soon as the words left her lips, she could sense another shift in his wavelength. nothing major. it was barely noticeable. however, there was a split second halt of his wave, something the usual resonator would've missed but yinyue did not. it was there, half a moment pause to a question he probably had thrown his way countless of times, and one she could imagine his reflex answer would be. yes. if needed.

she shifted her weight, arms crossing over her chest. that split second PAUSE was all she needed. a genuine smile curved her lips.

" you hesitated. that's good enough for me. " for someone who could so easily tell another to USE HIM as they see fit, or how manipulations were things he's used to, both on the giving and receiving ends, that single moment of hesitation gave her the reason to trust him. she wondered if he knew he had just answered his own question. either way —

the rover extended her hand towards him.

" come on. you promised you'd show me the dreamscape, yes ? "

#apocryphis #.answered #.[ yinyue | rover ]#.[ of all the lies i have heard; yours was the only one i kept: aventurine & yinyue ]#[ pLACES THIS HERE FOR YOU #HERE YOU GO VENTIUM #I HAD BEEN COOKING ON THIS FOR DAYS OKAYYYYY #also yes the part i was ' assuming ' is his reaction to her question #that split second lag #i hope that's okay OMG I WANTED TO CHECK WITH YOU SO BAD BUT THAT'D GIVE AWAY THE WHOLE IDEA OF THIS RESPONSE & I WANNA SURPRISE YOU #iF THAT'S OOC OF HIM PLS LET ME KNOW HJKLJHKHJLK I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE #okay i won't say much in the tags in case you read the tags before the ask & i don't wanna spoil you HJKLJHLK #I'LL SCREAM TO YOU ON DISCORD LATER ]#.long post

i think the fact that i mostly prefer drawing sokka and zuko in very quiet moments is telling. i didn’t think much of it at first but… it’s kind of a sense of what they deserve to have between each other, because the rest of their lives can be so hectic and intense, but also it’s what they Want to have with each other. they’re so so gentle when they’re alone, in a way that i think a lot of other atla ships (esp zuko ones) wouldn’t be. there’s no need for intensity because their relationship is built on the lack of that, it’s built on ease and a comfort they can’t find in others

#idfk #zukka #sokka x zuko #sokka/zuko #i have nothing against ppl who ship zutara but #i think that relationship would end up So Tense all of the time #it’d be so many emotions always #whereas the idea behind zukka is that they don’t have to be that part of themselves #zutara is so built on mutual pain and trust that’s barely held together #built on trauma and responsibility #sokka went thru the same shit as katara but he doesn’t feel it in the same way she does #idk i see a lot of zutara stuff either on my dash or in my For You thing and it just seems too dramatic to be something zuko could ever end-#-up at ease with long term #again nothing against zutara ppl i used to ship zutara before i realized zukka could be a thing #i just think they would end up being unhealthy with each other #whereas sokka has a very different way of channeling his fire nation pain #that has never been at odds with zuko in particular #which is something zuko would Need #idkidkidk #pls don’t be mad zutara ppl haha #i’m just very very gay
