I am absolutely living for the Stardew art. I love that game so much and have over 600 hours of playtime in it. I did have a little bit of a request but feel free to ignore! Could you rate all of the potential spouses based on your personal interpretations?
Hiii!! Yes yes yes thank you for this ask- I planned to do quick portraits anyways! <3 <3
But let's start!!
[PLEASE DO NOT REPOST, reblogs welcome! >:3c)
Harvey: 10/10
Tumblr media
Handsome yes yes
Very sweet and loyal like bro LETS GO that's all I need
Doctor?? AKA he fixes up love interest who regularly gets into trouble? Endless possibilities BRO this is my favorite trope to write/draw about
HOWEVER HARVEY DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY INSURANCE HE JUST CHARGES OUR ASSES bro I'm trying to have a tender moment of almost dying and him worrying and then BOOM hands me my bill like "see you at home honey ily"
Overall he would treat us right yes
Animals LOVE his ass but he's awkward with them LOL
He's often a tired man due the clinic but he'll pull through to do things with the farmer when they're dating (like outings)
In the beginning when farmer is frequently getting hurt in the mines and being brought in hurt, he buys them a walkie-talkie. He's said multiple times that he doesn't recommend going in those dangerous places but learns that farmer's determined to keep going so he'll do what he can to make sure they can relay when they need help
He'll chime in on the walkie when he sees farmer going towards the mines and has them check things off a mental list (hi, this is Harvery- going to the mines? Do you have your weapon? How about food? You have your first-aid kit on you too right?)
This man will be TENSE the whole day when he knows farmer is in the mines. He'll only ease up once he knows they're not in there anymore
Disclaimer: from here on most of what I write will be 100% from my head because I haven't married anyone else yet LMFAO
Sam: 10/10
Tumblr media
I interpret him as the golden retriever type- very hyper and friendly
That just makes him 1000% more loveable
HE'D TREAT US RIGHT
Very good with kids cause of Vincent which is like YES
A little blunt sometimes but that's wassup
Doesn't eat the best (AKA I give him two pizzas every week. Hmm. So maybe that means I'M the problem lol)
Also doesn't really know a lot of cooking, but when he moves in farmer finds new-looking cookbooks tucked away in his spaces
I feel like he'd be the type to have a switch in attitude- he's v friendly UNTIL he has reason to distrust/not like someone and then he'll flip from bright to cold (especially if the person has bad intentions about somebody he cares about)
Doesn't realize farmer and him are dating he just thinks they’re hanging out a lot and just kissing as really good friends
When he does realize they’re dating he gets all flustered and red
Would let you win at Mario-Kart
Despite his goofiness, he knows how to be a gentleman. He's always keeping an eye on farmer and making sure they're okay. If they're out together, the moment the sun goes down his jacket is on farmer's shoulders. When it's raining and he wakes up late and sees that farmer has gone out of the house for the day, he'll get up quick and run around with an umbrella and a thermos of hot coffee until he finds farmer. He'll follow farmer around with the umbrella covering mostly farmer, so he gets pretty drenched.
Very vocal about his love
Shane: 10/10
Tumblr media
Ah the chicken man himself
ALSO GREAT WITH KIDS but in a different light- he's way more protective about them whereas Sam is more the laid-back and playful parent-figure (he throws his children into the air)
Recovering from his alcoholism and the habits that came with it (messiness and cluttery) but he's trying his best aww
Will rub his stubble on your face when he comes in for a hug ouchie
Even though he is not a dad- he just comes with dad stuff (dad outfits, dad jokes, EVERYTHING)
His chickens are protective of him so you must prove yourself worthy
(In my headcanons, Joja is kinda twisted) Will start to distance himself from Joja after farmer tells him of how they're trying to hurt the Junimos. He may eventually quit to work elsewhere, even though he doesn’t really know what Junimos are but something about farmer telling him about them seems sincere
He's very cuddly after getting to know him and dating. His love language happens to be physical touch and every touch makes him fall harder
This also means he gets a little sad when it's summer and too hot to cuddle that farmer turns around in their sleep. He gets pouty in the morning after until he gets a kiss LMAO
He'll frequently realize how messy he leaves his spaces, and will clean up. He tries to upkeep the cleanliness and manages it for a few days before it starts to get messy again. Sometimes it lasts a while, but sometimes it just slips his mind due to bad habits
Farmer pops into mind every time he has an urge to drink, and he'll shake it off and go do something else for them. He's DETERMINED to be the best person he can be for farmer
Alex: 10/10
Tumblr media
A little rough at first lol- his attitude is very icky in the beginning BUT he's cute 
Once you get through that exterior he practically does a 180- HE'S SO SWEET AND CARING and no longer uhhh icky
He would tackle things for you (can he help farmer out of the mines when they pass out in the game? If he does I'd like to think he just picks them up and BOOKS it for the exit knocking anything in his path down LMFAO)
Becomes pouty when he gets a little jealous
Again he's very sweet- he kisses Evelyn and George on the cheeks every morning before he leaves the house, he often thinks about his late mom and visits her grave with flowers from Pierre's and has a small picnic there
I feel he would be prone to dreams about his mom, waking up in a cold sweat and tears. After the 8-heart event he gets up and does something sweet like making a whole breakfast for Evelyn & George or giving Dusty some quality time with walks, playing, and a good treat
Will be extremely protective over farmer. Farmer gives him a heart attack every time they go to the mines or the skull cavern or even in the sewer like baby what are you doing WHY ARE YOU GOING INTO THE MANHOLE
The caves he can't follow farmer with because he knows he isn't trained to fight monsters like farmer is and might hold them back instead, but he'll wait outside or tell Harvey that farmer's in the mines instead
Doesn't come out with it but he needs a lot of reassurance due to abandonment issues. He gets a little clingy and touchy but a little shy. (reaching for farmer’s hand/just pinching onto a part of the farmer’s clothes and holding on)
Sebastian: 10/10
Tumblr media
This one might be rough cause I've never really felt much for him IM SORRY
Once farmer asks him out he's very unsure how to proceed. He'll call them things like dude and bro *with love*
It's literally like pulling teeth for him to call farmer honey just cause he's never been the affectionate type till now hehehe he'll try to say it and then drop to his knees like OTL and curl up (He'll get it eventually tho- this is just like the first few months LMFAO)
He has frogs right? He'll show you his frogs 
Your void chickens will love this emo boy they just vibe y'know?
He shows his love through acts of service and gifts, finding out the things you love and bringing them to you
As awkward as he is, his true intentions are very evident when he starts to really try to reconnect with Robin and asking her for advice on most anything he hasn't much a clue about.
He wants to be able to properly feel like part of his family, because farmer tells him that he deserves to feel loved there too. He’ll have a difficult heart-to-heart with Robin, Demetrius, and Maru and over time the family dynamic starts to heal. Sebastian is eternally grateful for farmer and tells them about the relationship and they’re all overjoyed to have farmer as part of the family too
He WILL stop smoking if farmer ever raises concern for his well-being
He starts to come out of his shell more (in general) as he and farmer progress their relationship. He tries his best to be a great partner, and everyone can sense that his demeanor is a little bit brighter than before. He starts to not be as shy about PDA too
He has many hoodies for farmer to steal HOWEVER they're all the exact same pair HAHAHA
Elliott: 10/10
Tumblr media
I may also struggle with Elliott for similar reasons
Handsome right off the bat bro
But you'll never be able to be the one with the great hair in the relationship cause man he dominates in that
I see him as a gentle lover- very old-school romantic
He writes farmer love poems and songs often HE WILL SERENADE FARMER EVEN THOUGH HE'S ALREADY MOVED IN
Has pictures of farmer EVERYWHERE like his desk, in his books and notebooks, and has one of those accordion picture holders in his wallet of farmer and himself (and their child(ren) when time comes) He shows them off to the other villagers at the Saloon even tho they literally know farmer LMAOO
Has a very comforting vibe to him- he knows how to coddle farmer after they take a visit to the clinic
He'd let farmer use his favorite pen, trusting that it would return to him
Romantic gestures are EVERYWHERE. Songs, poems, so many pretty flowers in farmer's hair. 
I think he'd be the best cook out of everyone. Farmer wants to go out on a fancy date out of the village?? S'NOT GOOD ENOUGH- Elliott will change the whole decor of the kitchen and spend hours cooking and preparing for farmer to come home and then he plays all the roles (waiter, bus person, lover, etc) through the entire meal. But if farmer really actually wants to go out he'll go with it
Bachelorettes will be done in part 2 soon!

my brain is hungry but not for smut instead it wants angsts
can i request a oneshot (specifically for chuuya because i love him) about him being a single dad with a baby and his wife died or somethin and how he copes up and still tries to stay positive until the end despite the love of his life dead?
The idea of him being a single father is a thing i've been thinking about for a while now 🥺
ahh of course, i love a good sad moment. I was very excited to see this in my inbox so i wrote it asap
Forever was meant for memories, not for people
Content,, F!Reader x Chuuya, Death during childbirth, angst af, not proofread
WC- 673
A year ago today was supposed to be the happiest day of Chuuya’s life. He had sat in the hospital room beside you, looking back on the memories you shared together. The memories before you brought a sweet boy into this world.
~~~
Chuuya had come back from a mission late, dried blood covering his face and staining his white shirt. 
“Chuuya!” You smiled as he walked into your bedroom , “I have a gift for you!”
“A gift? For what?” He asked, looking through his closet for a change of clothes.
“Go change and come back!” 
He looked at you with a confused look, “okay…”
He quickly came back, showered and changed, and got in bed beside you. You gave him a quick kiss before giving him a small box.
He looked at you once more before opening the box, revealing a positive pregnancy test.
“Are you…You’re pregnant?!” He asked, eyes wide.
You nodded, tears filling your eyes.
Chuuya couldn’t help the smile that spread over his face, “This is the best news”, he whispered before kissing you deeply. 
Over the next few months, Chuuya and yourself spent all of your free time decorating the nursery, buying clothes, and just enjoying eachothers company before a new baby was brought into your lives.
~~~
“It’s a boy!” The doctor announced
Chuuya jumped from his chair in the ultrasound room, “A boy!! Are you sure?!” 
The doctor chuckled and showed Chuuya the ultrasound. This was the happiest you’ve ever seen your husband. 
The last few months of the pregnancy, all Chuuya talked about was his excitement to have a little him.
“You’re going to be such a good dad” You smiled, looking over at your husband who was once again talking about how he could not wait for the birth of your sweet boy.
Chuuya placed his hand on your stomach, feeling the soft kicks press onto his hand, “And you're going to be the best mom. We’re going to be the best parents for him”
~~
Although, you would never be able to be a parent alongside him. This day a year ago was almost a blur for Chuuya. The two of you had been in the hospital for days due to some complications. Doctors were in and out of the room constantly, neither of you slept during those days. 
The time finally came for the baby to come but instead of a joyous moment, the doctor's faces showed nothing but fear. 
“We need to get her in surgery now or we will lose them both” was all Chuuya heard before you were taken away.
“Will they be okay?” He asked, his eyes filling with tears as he sat in the surgical waiting room.
Nobody had any answers. Chuuya sat for hours until a doctor came out, he shot from his chair but not out of excitement this time. 
“I’m sorry,” the doctor spoke. “We did everything we could. We were able to save him though”
The world went dark, the love of his life was gone. It all happened too fast, you were supposed to raise your baby together. Have a family and grow old and be together forever. Now none of that would happen. 
Chuuya had taken a few hours to calm down before walking in to meet his new son. Holding him gently and close, he looked down at the wide-eyed infant. “You look just like your mother,” he whispered, tears flowing down his cheeks.
~~
Throughout the year, Chuuya had learned to overcome a lot. He was grieving while also taking care of his new baby. Of course, he had help from the mafia. Everyone was more than happy to babysit while Chuuya left on missions or simply stay with Chuuya while he slept and showered. But nothing could make up for the emptiness in his chest. You were supposed to be here with him, watching your son say his first words and take his first steps. 
~~
Today was his first birthday. The Mafia and ADA joined together to throw a party for Chuuya’s precious boy.
“I am very proud of you, Chuuya. She would be too. You are a very good father” Mori stood alongside Chuuya, watching his son play with Kyouka and Koyo. 
Chuuya let out a small chuckle, “Yeah, boss? I don’t know how I’m managing without her. I wish she could’ve met him”
Mori let out a small sigh before patting Chuuya on the back, “She may not know him but he’ll know her. I’m sure of it”
Chuuya didn’t respond as Mori walked away.
Mori was right, he would know how beautiful his mother was, how selfless and kind she was. He will grow to love her despite never truly meeting her. You would always be together through his memories.
The past year had been one of the hardest Chuuya had ever experienced and though he wished you could’ve been there along with him, His heart was full watching his now one year old son laugh and play with his, what Chuuya would call, family.

I noticed that y’all have no idea what Germans grew up listening to. Late 80’s/very early 90’s stuff is THE SHIT and all the drivers definitely know them by heart as do i. So here’s a songfic to a sappy German lovesong(?) that we know by heart.  Also, i may have been a bit drunk and a bit nostalgic so yes
This one is called “dammit, I love you” and one of my all time favorites https://youtu.be/x6q0ciiqyG0.
Ex! Sebastian Vettel x Reader (songfic!!)
Tumblr media
I wander through the streets until after midnight
Loved doing that back then as well
Don’t need you for that
Sebastian stared at the cold leaves falling, hands shoved into his pockets. 2013,  the year of evil things. Good Guy Seb was gone, especially after Multi 21. Same with his homelife, he grew bitter and almost jaded. The infighting with Mark traveling home to you, his Girlfriend. To be exact, his ex-girlfriend. You didn’t want to hear him like this anymore. You struggled through so much together, so why didn’t he want to listen? That’s what you had told him, but he knew better. He had to prove himself, to be the man. With or without you. Showing that he wasn’t just lucky, winning thanks to the car but instead due to his own prowess.
I’m sitting at the bar, drinking another beer
Back then, together we’d be here
It doesn’t affect me, doesn't affect me at all.
He pulled the big, wooden doors of his usual bar open, the Barkeeper mildly nodding  towards him with a pained expression. He knew everything about the situation, witness to one to many fights and breaking up equally many of them. He celebrated Sebs first World Title with you here, sponsoring Champagne to every guest that stumbled in. How quickly Time had passed since then. Sliding into his usual seat, the barkeeper quietly placed a bottle of beer in front of him which Sebastian hurried to take a sip from. 
This season was over, and It had taken enough from him. Ferrari was going to be a new start- Start of a new journey without you. He could do this without you. He should. He had to. 
Opposite of me sits a guy like a bear,
I imagine if he was your new man
It doesn’t affect me at all
Seb stared at the tall, muscular man sitting there. He looked a lot like Jenson Button, a guy you were often rumored to be cheating with. Not that you’d do that. You were loyal, if so to a fault.
Suddenly it hits me and i approach him
I tell him off:” Leave my Woman alone”
He just asks:” Are you mad?”
And all i can think of is You
Staring into Jenson’s Face just flared his deep rooted Anger. Those fake cheating news had started it all, making his trust towards you weaker. Making him question you while you were there for him through thick and thin. So what if you actually were with Jenson now? Sipping Cocktails somewhere in Britain? You, wrapped around his arms? 
'No, that needed to stopped.' 
He pushed the chair back and stomped towards Jenson, Face filled with Anger. “Leave my Woman alone!”, he almost screamed while slamming his fist on the table. Jenson jumped upwards in shock, clearly surprised. “Are you Mad?” he pushed Seb away from him. The barkeeper was quick to arrive, grabbing Seb by the sleeves and pushing him out. Muttering something about enough Alcohol which Seb didn’t hear. All he could think of was you. Your beautiful, loving eyes staring back at his upon waking up. The texture of your skin while wrapped around him.
Dammit, I love you
I don’t love you
Dammit, I need you
I don’t need you
Dammit, I want you
Dammit, I don't want you
I don’t want to lose you
Slowly I’m starting to remember it all
I just wanted to be a bit more free
Am I now or am I not?
You’d left before the season was over, after your big fight in Hungary. Dyed his Hair blonde because you loved his natural hair so much. Ready to actually become the villain you called him. 
I didn’t fit into your happy world
But it and you, are what i’m missing the most
I simply can’t believe it 
He was free to do whatever he so desired , but at what cost? He dominated the season but without your love at home, without you tousling his locks so gently, nothing was fine anymore. You were angry at his rude demeanor, his blatant disregard of others. You didn’t understand, with Michael being like that he felt like he had to prove himself anew. To prove himself the new German hope as some called him. 
Opposite of me Is a phone
It’s laughing at me mockingly
It won’t, it won’t ring
His iPhone laid there, Wallpaper back to the default one instead of your wide smile, sometimes turning on to inform him of some trivial news yet none of them related to you. Were you actually happy without him, living your best life?
 He did something he hadn't done since meeting you: smoking. You hated the smell with a fiery passion. Sebastian grabbed a cigarette from the Box (Marlboro Reds of course) and placed it between his lips while procuring a lighter from god knows where. Lighting it and taking a deep breath. The hot smoke filled his body with a warmth he hadn’t felt in a long time. 
Seven beers, smoked too much
This is what a man needs
But nobody, nobody to stay “Stop it”
And again, all I can think of is You
He dropped the lit cigarette into the empty beer bottle, face crashing flatly on the table. Nicotine and Alcohol running through his veins, making his body fuzzy. You’d have said Stop. You didn’t like seeing him in this state.
You’d have said Stop like you always did. The voice of reason in his miserable, little life. Stop to Betrayal. Stop to Fighting. Stop to Self-Doubt and Self-hatred. 
Dammit, I love you
I don’t love you
Dammit, I need you
I don’t need you
Dammit, I want you
Dammit, I don’t want you
I don’t want to lose you
He didn’t want to lose you but he already did. You were gone.

can I pls get Akechi Goro Dating HC ?
( a very fluff one to pls 😭 )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
୨୧⸝⸝ I'm sooo happy my first p5 request is akechi he's my everything ❤️ also I got very off track on this and it's honestly just word vomit... I hope you enjoy regardless anon ^_^
❥ akechi isn't the worst boyfriend ever its just he is a very complicated person so you might have to adjust to all his sharp sides. dating him when he puts up his princely mask is honestly like a dream. of course pda isn't that common due to his reputation however he makes lots of time for you! at the beginning of the relationship he takes you on some simple dates like to a café.
❥ even though you caught his eye akechi is still a complicated person so these first few dates are just him analyzing you. He's a detective and he needs to make sure your honest true self when your with him because he can't bare to see himself in you. once he either figures out your intentions are pure or you reassure him he'll feel better about himself but he doesn't let his mask slip not just yet.
❥ once he adjusts a bit to quite literally one of the first healthy relationships in his life he's very sweet. he adores quality time with you so honestly you can drag him just about wherever and he'll be happy. again sadly some of this is limited because of his job but he always makes sure to text you goodmorning so you'll see it as you maybe make your way to school or as you just wake up.
❥ princely persona or not he's still a little shit so he likes teasing you. there's a difference between his prince act and real selfs teasing and that is he's alot nicer before you truly know him fully. He normally teases you when he's kissing you, gently brushing his lips on yours or your cheek leaving you flustered. deep inside his heart he finds it cute that you can get flustered just by him... he's just a teensy bit possessive shhh❥ he tries his hardest to keep you away from any metaverse shenanigans and the phantom thieves. he loves you, you're his angel, and if you found out what he did he'd never forgive himself even if you did. though if you know about all of this or god forbid be apart of thieves then his mask will probably slip alot sooner.
❥ for the sake of convenience let's say you did witness everything that went down in shidos palace. he hates how he'll never be the perfect prince for you however his loyalty towards you increases tenfold. if you happen to fight by his side in the metaverse he'll always protect you no matter what. this applies to his personas too, loki and Robin hood are quick to slice any shadows that harms you.
❥ okay now onto some lighter stuff and not just akechi vomit ^_^ he's veryyyy touch starved and he doesn't want to admit to it. anytime you hold his hand or he even just hugs you he gets complete goosebumps. at first he honestly hates it, it makes him feel vulnerable which is something that he never wants to be. just reassure him that it's ok to let down his walls around you and that you love him!
❥ he can't really handle a full cuddle session for that long without feeling uncomfortable however he still loves them. if you too sleep over feel free to cling onto him... late at night he might hold you a bit before gently pushing you off and just holding you hand as you both sleep. on the train he doesn't mind if you lay your head on his shoulder or if you're both standing gripping onto his arm to avoid the passengers.
❥ now that he's more open towards you his teasing definitely gets a bit more mean. of course he doesn't mean any of it it's just the real sweet stuff makes him again feel vulnerable. he'll call you a idiot whenever you lose a game or playfully flick your forehead (I live for teasing I'm giggling kicking my feet rn). in the metaverse if you both are fighting together he might make a remark about you being slow or that you're practically "begging" for him to save you like a princess
❥ Akechi at heart is a very sweet boy, yes he is a murder and kinda insane but I swear guys haha...

Together in Death
Request: Hades x Anubis female @anubis-ror
As I said, I haven't read the manga so this is probably a bad Hades And assuming I'm reading this right, reader is Anubis but female That ALSO means that reader will be her own entity and I won't take inspiration from canon Anubis (this is me also knowing jack shit about Anubis) Now that we have all that cleared up, on with the fic
Request Masterlist Hades x fem Anubis!reader Genres:🎉🌸💞🧪
Tumblr media
Let's clarify real quick, Hades is in fact VERY busy, so much so that free time is non-existent to him. You; however, are the exception to this.
He could be doing something that might change the state of the underworld, and then just put it off for you. You don't even need a good reason.
Feeling lonely? He's there to talk. Can't reach something on the top shelf? No worries, Hades is dropping everything just for that item.
Seeing as you both of you must work within the Underworld due to your godliness, it isn't uncommon for you two to try and share the work (even if you don't know what to do). It's actually what caused you to become a couple in the first place.
On one of your many days of guiding souls to the Underworld, you had someone who talked especially a lot. It wasn't unwelcomed.
This person told you of a dream they had, that had such magical creations no human could build it. You took it upon yourself to make this dream a reality, there's no harm in having a little fun, right?
...
You were half way into your latest project, trying your best to remember the small details the human told you.
"My love, what are you working on this late?" Hades likely just got done with his work for the day and was going to rest.
"Creating what humans can only do with their imagination," you were locked in, knowing that it was nearly there.
He was confused, "and may I ask why you wish to create such a thing?" A mix between a laugh and tired sigh came out from him.
You took your eyes off the project and turned to him, "because it is also only humans who are capable of such fascinating ideas." You were serious, this nothing either you nor Hades could think up.
"Whatever makes my dear wife happy," and he sat down next to you with a smile.
It was times like these you remember why you love him so.
Tumblr media
through trial and error i thought up this
i like the concept of just creating things because you dreamed it or heard it vaguely and having a loved one watch

reading updates: october 2023
hi everybody!!! things (by which I mean everything) have been a little bit hectic lately (by which I mean it feels like everything is one fire 100% of the time), which I guess explains why I'm late posting this AND why I only finished four books in all of October.
I would be very sad about this if the number of books I read had any correlation to my value as a person, but luckily it doesn't! so I don't give a shit, I am literally just vibing and trying to have a good time reading my silly little stories. here's a book report about it.
what I've been reading:
The Goblin Emperor (Katherine Addison, 2014) - okay, so picture this: you're the fucking elf king's least favorite son. you're not a bastard, but he didn't love your mom and after she died he basically banished you to a miserable little estate in bumfuck nowhere with no one but your abusive older cousin for company. probably he was going to leave you out there forever and hope that you would die quietly so no one would ever have to remember you existed. (un)fortunately, your shitty dad and all of his male heirs just died in a blimp accident and now you're the emperor. GOOD LUCK. this book is political fantasy of the highest order, with loads of machinations and intrigue and chewy worldbuilding interspersed with genuinely sweet moments between characters as one very good boy befriends his way to power. blah blah empires are inherently evil, obviously yes but this is a made up empire with 0 real consequences and Maia is my little dude. the only way I could love him more would be if he'd just nutted up and kissed his boy secretary on the mouth.
Happy Hour (Marlowe Granados, 2020) - I kept seeing this book enthusiastically as kind of a light fizzy funtime celebrating being young and free and running around New York City with no plans, and man... that was not my experience! Isa and Gala are maybe the most stressful girls I've ever encountered in fiction: perpetually broke and hungry, absolutely lacking in direction or ambition, always ricocheting listlessly from one situation to another in search of a good time and mostly only discovering disappointment, I need these girlies to get their lives together for my sake as a reader. there's one scene in particular where Isa is crashing with some disgustingly wealthy friends at the beach and keeps getting callously dismissed while sweating profusely and trying to figure out how she's going to convince them to keep paying for her food and it was so visceral that I developed a second, worse anxiety disorder because of it. Granados' writing is stylish, to be sure, but drama was not worth it for me.
The Magpie Lord (KJ Charles, 2013) - this historical fantasy romance is quick, dynamic, and horny. I can't actually say that I'm particularly charmed by the quality of the writing, which is there to hurtle you at warp speed between scenes of homoeroticism and bald exposition about magic, but I do admire Charles' panache. the book opens on a rather gruesome scene of our protagonist, Lord Crane, attempting to slit his own wrist; it quickly becomes clear that this isn't because he's genuinely suicidal, but because he's been cursed by persons unknown in an attempt to drive him to ruin. enter Stephen Day, a magic practitioner who hated Crane's deceased father and brother but is determined to help him all the same. some plot happens, but also a lot of flirting and (spoilers) sex that comes with an actual power-up for Stephen due to the wonders of blood magic. a pulpy good-time all around, and short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome.
The Fervor (Alma Katsu, 2022) - The Fervor is a historical horror with a tantalizing premise: in the 1940s, Japanese demons begin to manifest inside of an Idaho internment camp for Japanese-Americans, adding a swirl of the supernatural to a situation that's already rife with mundane horrors. the actual execution is... lacking. Katsu's prose is blunt at best; when I call it "unsubtle" I don't mean the way some racist might mean when they inevitably go on a ramble about how Katsu beats her readers over the head with how racism is bad. racism is bad, duh, and it's hardly unrealistic to emphasize the fear and hatred that dogged the lives of Japanese-Americans during WW2. when I say this book is unsubtle I mean Katsu approaches each chapter like her readers have maybe forgotten everything they read leading up to that moment; you will be reminded frequently of characters' names, relationships, and straightforward motivations. and yet, somehow, the actual plot is still pretty murky. much is hinted at in the protagonist's past in Japan, then never actually elucidated, a main POV character falls clean out of the plot without resolution just before the climax, I still don't know what was up with those goddamn demon spiders. disappointing!
there was also one very specific, GLARING thing in the ending of The Fervor that I did not care for in the slightest, but that's tucked away on my Patreon in the monthly hater post. pay me if you want to hear about some CRAZY copaganda!

SR Epel Felmier Masquerade Dress Personal Story: Part 2
"It was a great shop!"
(Part 1) Part 2
Tumblr media
[City of Flowers – Topsy-Turvy Event Hall]
Malleus: Shall I place it here?
Epel: Y-Yes…
[thud!]
Stall Owner: I wasn't expecting you to lift up the whole truck and carry it all at once… Magic sure is amazing.
Epel: Well, I mean, I think Malleus-san is really the only one who can do this sort of thing…
Stall Owner: Anyway, thanks to the both of you! You really saved my hide!
Malleus: However… I opened one of the crates and took a look inside, it seems a few of the apples have been damaged.
Malleus: Was it due to the way I transported them? I seem to have caused you unneeded trouble.
Stall Owner: Oh, I think these bumps and bruises probably happened on the truck ride over. It's not your fault.
Stall Owner: This isn't nothing to worry about. Right, Epel?
Malleus: Is that so?
Epel: Yep! I mean, if these were going to be eaten as is, or made into whole candied apples, they wouldn't be able to be sold like this, but…
Epel: But since his stall is going to be selling pastries made from processed apples, this much damage isn't an issue.
Malleus: I see. So, damage does not necessarily constitute the disposal of these apples.
Epel: Oh, we couldn't do something so wasteful as to throw them away! Harveston's apples are way too delicious for that.
Stall Owner: That's that. And most of the apple pastries I have here are special made for this city, you know.
Epel: Oh, you're right. Looking at your menu, I don't think I've seen a many of these pastries before.
Epel: You've got a pound cake that looks like the Bell of Salvation. And… Is this a pie? It's kind of weird.
Stall Owner: The theme of the festival here in the City of Flowers is "Topsy-Turvy," right? That's why I switched up the pie crust and the filling.
Epel: So, you're saying that the apple filling is wrapped around the pie crust? Wow, I didn't know that kind of thing was possible!
Malleus: They are all so exquisite. The other apple pastries you have all look rather fascinating, as well.
Stall Owner: Oh yeah, I should do something as thanks for the two of you helping me. I'll treat the two of you to some Harveston apple pastries.
Epel: But don't you have to make your pastries for the festival?
Epel: I can make something for Malleus-san as thanks. Since he carried the whole truck over here, we got plenty of time.
Stall Owner: Sorry for everything… And thanks, I'll leave it to you. Feel free to use any of my cooking utensils or seasonings.
Tumblr media
Epel: It's done! It's not as fancy as the ones you'd find at this here stall, but…
Malleus: It smells wonderful… Did you bake the apples?
Epel: Yep, I baked some thinly sliced apples with a ton of butter.
Epel: Please try it with alongside the vanilla ice cream here. It'll be super delicious!
Malleus: Is that so? Then, allow me to try some.
Malleus: ...I see, this is pretty good. It has a different flavor and texture from fresh fruit.
Epel: So, actually, I made this baked apple from the damaged apples you saw earlier. Does that make you feel a bit better?
Malleus: Ah, indeed, because it was baked, I cannot tell what it looked like prior. I understand why he said there would be nothing to worry about.
Epel: Us in Harveston have always made sure to eat all our excess apples so there's no waste.
Epel: And recently, we started selling apple juice, too…
Epel: Whenever Harveston has a festival, we have a ton of stalls lined up selling a lot more of our traditional pies or other dishes with apples in them.
Epel: They're much tastier than any quick and easy thing I can whip up… It'd be nice if you could try it sometime too, Malleus-san.
Malleus: Harveston, I see. I will remember that.
Epel: …Ah! I just realized how much time has passed. I need to head back.
Malleus: I shall also return to my group. Thank you for the meal.
Epel: No, thank you so much!
Tumblr media
[City of Flowers]
Epel: S-Sorry to keep you waiting! Am I late…?
Azul: Not at all. It is still 30 seconds before the time we agreed on, so you're not late at all.
Epel: I can't believe you were even counting down to the seconds… I bet I'd've been in a load of trouble if I was late…!
Azul: …Oh?
Epel: …? Uhh… What's wrong?
Azul: No, nothing… I only thought I smelled the delicious fragrance of apples coming off of you.
Azul: There weren't any shops on the route we took earlier that served apples, so I'm curious, where did you have some?
Epel: Fufu, it was just a special situation that happened.
Deuce: A special situation? Why're you sounding so self-important? Oh, did you find a good shop tucked away somewhere?
Epel: A good shop…? Oh, yeah, it was a great shop! But it's almost time to meet up with everyone else, so there's not enough time to chat about it now.
Epel: I'll tell you guys just how awesome the place is later once everything settles down.
Epel: 'Sides, after everything's over… We'll still have a ton of time to enjoy this visit!

LOVE DIVE - 006. narcissistic my god i DONT love it
Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS . y/n l/n is excited when she gets accepted into belift high’s dance team— that is, until she finds out her ex-boyfriend from japan is on it as well. but she only remembers nishimura riki as two things, narcissistic and over confident in himself. and when they meet again after so many years, y/n finds that not much has changed. despite everything that went down between the two, she couldn’t help but feel her old attraction to him returning. how will she deal with her confusing and complex feelings? hopefully in a healthy way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Are you Y/N L/N?”
“Are you Y/N L/N?”
Y/N made eye contact with the front desk lady and nodded.
The lady smiled back and handed her a set of papers. “Here’s your schedule, a map, and some paperwork you need to fill out. Is your parent or guardian here?”
“No, they work in the morning.”
“That’s fine, I’ll just have it emailed to them. Just fill out the top parts real quick.”
Y/N began to do the dreaded paperwork, hands hurriedly gliding over the papers in order to make it go by faster. At that point it was already ten minutes until class started, and she didn’t want to end up being late for class. After all, punctuality was rather important for Y/N.
In some cases, she even figured punctuality showed people’s true character.
Which was why Y/N found herself being early or on time for almost anything she had to do. However that morning, she found that she had slept in a few minutes past the time which she would have normally woken up. And the difference between waking up at 7:30 and waking up at 7:37 is that 7:30 is a universally known reference of time and 7:37 felt too odd. Long story short, she got out of bed at 8:00 because in her head, 30 minute time stamps make more sense than being on time.
And it also definitely wasn’t because she had been thinking about a certain ex of hers.
Y/N quickly finished filling out what she had to, and looked back up.
“Oh, you’re done already? That was fast… just put them on that table and I’ll—”
A knock was heard on the door.
“That must be the boy who volunteered to show you around.” The lady smiled at Y/N, then turned to the door. “Come in!”
Before Y/N could process what she had just said, the door opened to reveal none other than the one who had plagued her mind all night. Despite the amount of time she had spent hoping that she wouldn’t see him so soon, her wishes had blatantly been ignored.
Nishimura Riki stood there with a bright smile as he started at Y/N, and it sickened her. How could he act so casually after what he did? After he stood her up, ditched her for his friends, and was never emotionally there for her— she found it almost mocking how he felt the need to reach out to her. Almost as if he was looking down on her….
Y/N gave Riki a subtle scan. He had grown much taller (like… BY A LOT) and even dyed his hair blonde. His features were more defined and he looked…. mature in a way.
He looked good; Y/N almost felt her heart skip a beat.
Almost.
His looks would never change how he treated her back then.
“Y/N, this is Nishimura Riki. He volunteered to show you around the school!” The lady introduced.
“Hey Y—”
Y/N cut him off. “With all due respect ma’am, I don’t need a guide. My friends can show me around.”
“O-Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. Am I free to leave?” She nodded, so Y/N hurriedly grabbed her belongings and rushed out the door.
She would rather eat soap than be in a room with Nishimura Riki for longer than a minute.
Y/N felt relief rush through her body as she escaped the uncomfortable situation, her muscles relaxed while she tried to find her way to her classroom.
But of course, she could never be too lucky.
“Y/N!”
She gave no sign that she heard him.
“Y/N! Please, let me talk to you…”
At that point Riki was already raising his voice and Y/N didn’t want to cause a scene. “There’s nothing to talk about. We dated and now we’re strangers, and I don’t really want to be involved with you anymore.”
She could hear Riki’s breath hitch for a bit, and she thought that she was finally able to render him speechless.
That was, until he said, “Fine! I can’t believe I wanted to talk to you again. You’re as stuck up as I remember!”
Classic Riki, not able to take rejection.
“And you’re as full of yourself as I remember. You still think I owe you an explanation or something. Well guess what— I don’t. I explained myself well enough back then and if you had trouble understanding it then that’s on you. We don’t need to talk, because there’s nothing to talk about. Our relationship ended years ago.”
Y/N didn’t mean to raise her voice towards the end but somehow, it had ended that way.
The two of them stood there in silence, still finding the words to say, before Y/N finally spoke up once more.
“I think it’s best if we don’t cross paths anymore.”
And with that, she walked away from Riki and all their past drama.
As much as she felt bad for yelling, Y/N knew that he deserved it and felt no remorse for the boy. He was still the same narcissist she broke up with and he needed a humbling.
She sighed, and could only hope that she would have been able to find her classroom by herself.

Shin Tsukimi Fluff Alphabet
Tumblr media
A = Attractive what do they find attractive about the other?
He’d find your intellect attractive.
B = Baby do they want a family? why/why not?
Probably not since he struggles to support himself.
C = Cuddle how do they cuddle? There are two types of cuddles. Type one is when you initiate it, hes usually stiff at first however will adjust in 5 minutes or so. Type two is after he gets back from work and clings onto you like an absolute child.
D = Dates what are dates with them like? Hes one for movie nights and random road trips?? Also late night drives.
E = Everything you are my ____ (e.g my life, my world…) You are my motivation.
F = Feelings when did they know they were falling in love? When you told him that hes doing the best he can. (This was months into your friendship with him.)
G = Gentle are they gentle? If so, how?
Yes he is, would never want to hurt you.
H = Hand/Hold how do they like to hold hands? He will hold your hand loosely. However if he is anxious then he will hold your hand tightly in his.
I = Impression first impression/s It depends on your personality, I think he would be intrigued if anything no matter who you are really.
J = Joker are they into pulling pranks? Depends how far into your relationship you are, if you guys are far in then he would pull more lighthearted pranks, if you guys weren't exactly that far in yet, then he would make jokes at best.
K = Kisses how do they kiss? Soft and passionately. He gives you a quick goodbye kiss when hes off to work. Whenever you guys are both free he will usually take his time when kissing you.
L = Love who says I love you first? He tried. He failed due to his anxiety, you probably said it first because of this.
M = Memory their favorite moment together
You and him were outside while it was snowing and you hugged him and then went in between him and his jacket because you were cold, he blushed profusely after the interaction. 
N = Nickel do they spoil? do they buy the person they love everything? Him being tight on money its not often but not necessarily rare, he does it whenever he has spare money after necessities. (hes trying lmao)
O = Orange what color reminds them of their other half
Jungle green, the color reminds him of spring which also reminds him of you, always bringing the light into his gloomy days.
P = Petnames what pet names do they use? Probably uses “dear” or “babe” the most.
Q = Quaint what is their favorite non-modern thing? Not a favorite thing, more of how he says things thats quaint?? He uses older terminology, for instance he calls a radio “the wireless.” One of the things you didn't expect out of him.
R = Rainy Day what do they like to do on a rainy day? Stay in a watch a show or movie with you, also cuddles!
S = Sad how do they cheer themselves/each other up Immediately when he is sad he goes to you for affection, hes all over you. Very clingy and cuddly. When you're sad on the other hand he does whatever he can, will listen to you vent and try to give you advice (only if you ask!). Will give you space if you need it, or if you want to cuddle then hes fine with that too. Tries his best to keep your mind off things and make you happy since you mean the world to him <3.
T = Talking what do they love to talk about? He asks about your day a lot, will also show you random memes that make no sense but are somehow funny. If you ask him how work was he will usually say it was pretty boring (on the inside hes got butterflies because you care for him so much).
U = Unencumbered What helps them relax?
Rainy days, the sound of rain hitting the windows calms him, probably enjoys thunderstorms for this reason as well.
V - Very thoughts about each other He thinks you're absolutely stunning in so many ways, he could look into your eyes for hours.
W = Wedding when, how, where do they propose? Wont propose until you guys have been together for well over a year, doesn't mean he hasn't thought of it though. Would like to keep things simple yet special.
X = Xylophone What’s their song?
Money - The Drums
Y = You the ___ to my ___ (e.g the cookies to my milk, the macaroni to my cheese)
“You are the spark to my lighter.”

Cat. Hes definitely a cat guy, he wants a lap cat.

How's Leaky Cup doing?
i know i kind of fell off the planet haha… the horses are all doing fine!
quick answer:
- leaky cup has not grown an inch, but he is developing into a hunky little man
- yoyo is happily snoozing with her friends in a stress-free field
- chalk is being boarded for training/ leased to my mother. she was out of work for a very hot minute due to bleeding ulcers— but the horse coming out of that recovery had a brand new, relaxed mental state! super proud of her
- bugsy is mostly retired due to arthritis, but enjoys trail rides and lots of carrots— fun fact: two separate dentists have looked at bugsy’s teeth and thought him to be in his mid to late twenties instead of like 18-19yo. not a huge jump and just conjecture, sometimes previous dental care or lack thereof can affect how a horse’s teeth look.
longer answer:
something medically happened to me almost a year ago and caused me a lot of trauma lol, i was emotionally uninvolved with my own life— got a promotion and threw myself into work and away from horses or my friends. yoyo & leaky are boarded with a very nice lady— i get updates and texts on them and their needs so i can still schedule the vet and farrier. chalky and bugsy are being doted on by my mom everyday.
my life is constantly being sorted and re-organized, and in this journey i realized i’d always put everything into caring for animals as an excuse to not take care of myself. thankfully, i have someone in my life that cares and helps me to see where i’m not taking myself into account. it’s really a struggle with my heavy work-load and life responsibilities-in-general to balance all that i want to accomplish for both my career and my own personal interests; to be terribly honest, with both the guilt and exhaustion from falling out of habits and healing, i’m having a really hard time finding motivation to go to the barn. i teach my mom lessons, so i get to see chalky and bugsy every week— but yo-yo and leaky have fallen to the wayside unintentionally, and i’m having a really hard time finding my way back to them.
i’m still a bit lost in the sauce of balancing my own life after everything haha and because of that i’ve been toying with the idea of downsizing just a bit.
yoyo is my forever baby, her and bugsy will happily live out the rest of their years with me. chalky is the horse i usually consider my heart horse— she’s so mare-ish and high maintenance i love her— but she also requires a lot of constant work to burn off her anxious energy and tire out her brain. i wouldn’t trust her sensitive emotions with just anyone, but i also know i can’t commit to working her 6 days a week anymore. if i can find a good lease for her, that would be ideal tbh— she can be veeeery fancy with the right rider, and a really fun trail partner. the hardest one is leaky, who i’m very genuinely considering finding another home for. it was such a great learning experience meeting and working with him— but we never really clicked, and i feel like i’m not the best opportunity for him. through professional training we’ve gauged he’d be a rockstar at cross-country— just an absolute tank on the course. he’s outpaced a selle francis/irish sport-horse cross and proven to be the bravest horse you’ve ever met.
the problem is that he has yet to be started under-saddle, and besides the regular handling of a boarding facility, has mostly been left to his own devices with his boy-band herd out in the field. i’ve never sold a horse before, have no idea where to start— and am unsure if i could even find someone interested in him as he is now. tbh, i think a bigger part of why i haven’t really done much more than just think about this is that i’m also just hesitant to let go. even if we don’t click, i’ve cared for him and watched him grow. he’s still one of my babies, and while it would be a suuuuper helpful financial decision to sell— if feels like closing a big chapter on my life that i thought would never end. it is a constant dilemma that keeps be up at night haha
i really appreciate the Ask <3 i keep forgetting i have tumblr— and by extension this huge community of horse people i’ve come to consider friends— to help me. it’s hard, and i’m still learning to ask for help. i hope everyone has been surviving, thriving— and enjoying their new year!!!

Hi!! How are you? I hope you're doing well!! And sleeping at least 6 hours =.=) (don't mind me, I often do this a lot to writers lol).
Anyhow!! Would it be alright to request Diluc, Kazuha, Xiao, Zhongli and Kaeya react to a reader who can read people easily? Like, just a few seconds of seeing someone walk and talk, they immediately have huge info about them?
I have a habit of observing too much, and it lead to me knowing someone before actually talking to them, and it usually ends up with them getting a tiny bit uncomfortable;;;;
I hope this isn't too much to ask;;; Feel free to remove it if it's not to your liking! ^-^)/
Reader that is very perceptive x genshin men
Hello SO sorry for anwsering so very late. I have been in a bad state of mind and haven't had the energy for much due to family and mental health issues, but today I have found a small window of energy.
I hope this isn't too late! Hope you enjoy
Plot: Genshin men with a reader that can read people easily and figure them out after a few conversations
Characters:(In order) Diluc, Kazuha, Xiao, Zhongli, Kaeya (can be read as platonic and romantic)
Warning: Not proofread! Also if there is any content anyone finds offesenive in any way let me know and I will tweak the story to make it more enjoyable for all types of reader from any backgrounds (that made more sense in my head, but you all understand right?)
Diluc
Since Diluc does have a business to run he also has a habit of paying close attention to people. For example, nights at the tavern he has to make sure no one is expressing any violence due to being a bit too tipsy.
He thought maybe he was the only one who would focus so much on people, but when you seemingly had his whole persona understood after an hour conversation with him, he had to think again
He found it pretty admirable, how skilled you were. He did notice though that you had some trouble making close friends. Everyone who you knew always seemed to be very reserved around you even though they acted different with others.
Diluc decided it was probably because of how easily you could figure them out. He understood how that may make someone uncomfortable. When you would quickly decipher how he was feeling in a conversation he was also surprised and a bit wary at first
For example, he'd he is talking about this one order he did, and you would say "I bet that made you feel relieved." when anyone else would've asked if that was mad. But he did appreciate how considerate you were about his feelings since you knew them so well So after a while, he didn't really mind it.
Overall, you were both pretty perceptive. Diluc in reading people's intentions and you in reading people in general (made pretty good business partners)
Kazuha
I feel like Kazuha would be very very wary of you at first. he had heard the crew speaking of this new mysterious person that joined the team and how they seemed to know everything after a single conversation
Rumors started circuiting the crux, saying how you had divine powers from the archons and that's how this was possible. He didn't really believe this, but he never really joined in the gossip
In the end Kazuha was the only person you had not spoken to since your arrival, so this gave you plenty of time to watch him closely. You had no intention of offending the man so you decided that if you could figure him out this way, you could avoid any miscommunications or altercation.
So, when you were both assigned to go into Liyue Harbor to restock supplies, you thought the day would go very smooth.
But then Kazuha noted how you would avoid certain conversation that would usually make him uncomfortable. That was cause for some concern in his opinion
You seemed nervous yourself. Everyone in the crew already didn't have much trust in you, so this was more or less your last chance
Because of your nervousness Kazuha would ask why and how and you'd give him a quick explanation. Oh, so that's why. Well since you couldn't help it, he didn't mind much. Kazuha seems like a pretty calm and lenient person
He wouldn't mind you pretty much knowing most of his life without him revealing anything, in fact he felt like it helped with avoiding conversations he didn't want to have.
Xiao
When you were first hired at Wangshu Inn and learned about the Yaksha living in it, Xiao didn't mind much. You both would also talk almost daily because you had been tasked with bringing him his almond tofu. Well as much talking as Xiao would let you.
Your conversations were short and ended abruptly, but you already had a good idea of this Xiao character. And when you brought up points that were something between a question and a statement that his silence would confirm. He found this troubling
Sure, there were some records of his past but none of them explained them to this...deep of an understanding.
he would try to avoid you and conversations with you as much as possible. he tried to stay as private as possible and you knowing so much disturbed him greatly.
But as time passed and the leaves changed, he realized you truly didn't mean any harm and it wasn't something specifically pointed towards him (because he was watching you at all times since he thought you were a threat) He didn't sense any evil or demons in you either
So soon your conversation instead of being one sided he would start answering with short and to the point answers
You were a bit shocked at first, but soon your relationships would grow, you just had to give him a little bit more time.
Zhongli
Your both very perceptive. Zhongli is an archon. One look and he pretty much knew everything about you, but due to his human body's limitations, he sometimes doubted it.
So, when you both started telling you let slip certain details such s "It must have been hard leaving your old life behind." randomly when you were both enjoying the, he was a bit curious as to just how much you truly knew.
he wouldn't exactly grow weary of you, but he would observe you very closely. You every move action and word were analyzed to the smallest detail and his answers would be as vague as possible without making it seem like he was either withholding information or seeming uninterested in the conversation
but the comments would still continue, and he still couldn't figure out how or why. Did you have some sort of divine power bestowed upon you by Celestia?
Nevertheless, he didn't mind too much.
Zhongli also noticed that this seemed to be a trend with other people as well, although most would not put in the effort to not look uncomfortable or disturbed.
He never really asked about it and besides for the pauses when you would mention something he was sure you'd know nothing about and surprised him he would keep your conversation and relationship as normal as possible.
In the future he would reveal that he is in fact the retired geo archon because he wanted to see if you had known this for some reason and that's why but that would be later when he fully trusted you.
Kaeya
When you were recruited as his secretary due to his nature of putting off certain projects and Jean wanting them done, he was not very happy. He didn't need an assistant and there was something about you that put him off his usually rhythm
Maybe it was the rumors or bad comments people have made about you or maybe it was how perceptive you seemed to be
Kaeya himself is very perceptive, he thought of it as a battle of who would guess who about the other person first.
He would say certain things about your past that he would find out through records and when you would retaliate with something like "Well I bet this happened in your past didn't it? It would explain that." it would always shock him
As time went on, he found this very much amusing, and he would enjoy having you as an assistant.
He would sometimes bring you into interrogations (with you consent to it for sometimes it would get a bit intense) and on missions so you could help. When it came to dealing with people, you proved very much useful.
He didn't think you had any bad intentions, and he didn't mind much, but sometimes topics he would rather not talk about, you would quickly notice and apologize. he'd try not to him much of it, he knew you didn't mean to offend him or bring up the dark parts of his past.
In time Kaeya started trusting you with more and more of his work and you both became an unstoppable Dou, capable of getting anything out of anyone.

barking barking, ok so i am rereading a bit of the last chapter and the things i had noted last time so that i remember everything that happened but after that i am loose
having an awful idea to listen to the guitar solo of freebird on repeat as i read this.... i am going to do it there is a rotating rat on the 10 hours version i found, wonderful
SO UH THIS IS MASSIVE SORRY ALSO SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ CAPS LOVELY NEWEST CHAPTER SCROLL PAST THIS VERY FAST IT MAY TAKE A WHILE. THE READ MORE BUTTON DOESN'T WORK IN ASKS SO SORRY
(i refuse to edit it this time, it took me like. a while last time and this is even longer, so you also get the incomprehensible pieces and no added notes to explain what i meant <3 (also a lot more '<3' this time. not sure why))
MORE CROWS rrr, they are important i know it
the way panthera is surrounded by cats and crows is interesting... like its an amusing visual but also really kick ass if you frame it in your mind right
yes, i enjoy that juleka is confronting ladybug on how she leads, especially considering that we know for sure they are inexperienced, yes i like this conversation
ooo, this is interesting, dust all kicked up focussing on different senses...very fun, always interesting to see how they can rely on things other than sight
woahhh, the staff lets off green sparks?? its made of copper <3 wait i looked it up and... aluminium makes green fire too? huh? this isn't important <33

ough awoog wibnefr, insane for the way that she is not referring to herself as human rn
awwybgfwei bgyrfned insane for all of this actually
THIS WAS SO FUCKING COOL JESUS CHRIST OH MY GOD ABHWEBHUUNERI I WISH I COULD SHAKE YOU BY THE SHOULDERS AND EXPLAIN ARTICULATELY EVERY DETAIL I LOVED BUT ALAS ALL I CAN DO IS KEYBOARD SMASH AT YOU ACROSS THE INTERNET
love carapce actually <3
“You suck bro. Take an L dude, take an L.” “HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME– THIS IS MY MOMENT-” “IT’S A RANDOM FUCKING FRIDAY DUDE IT IS JUST A FRIDAY!” Carapace shouted, so frustrated, pinching his fingers together at the man. “YOU’VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME! GET A JOB!” love this so much actually

well course it didn't heal from the cure, they are exact opposites so their direct effects would cancel out. like a plus and a minus, idiot
Apparently Rose might’ve fought Adam in a random parking lot that they had ended up in because she thought he might’ve hurt her during the attack so.. HWJB4IFE HA she would do that wouldn't she?
“Meh, it happens.” alix??? this is such a hilariously chill response??
nriew more chlolix crumbs...
Alix defended herself passionately, throwing up her hands as icing laid smeared on her lips. She paused for a moment, as Chloe half-heartedly wiped a bit off before continuing THATS GAY GAYY THEY ARE GAY A3WDWEUI sorry i got a bit excited there.
“Don’t worry, I won’t disappear.” “…Sometimes I–” “Yes?” Juleka pepped up. Rose paused and seemingly waved her thoughts away, smiling. “It’s nothing, don’t keep your big bro waiting!” RRRR REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY PLEASE OIGUHER RRRR
no because you somehow manage to keep it being a slow burn after they got together and i'm insane for that
actually they are the most adorable creatures in the universe i love them
I just didn’t think you’d start hearing them now.. huhwuh?? she is supposed to hear voices?????? weird wack ass side effects
ruhroh looks like thats the consequences of your actions nathalie
RUHROH THE CONSEQUENCES OF JULEKAS ACTIONS?? ough she has made herself an extra high value target
Her boy– no. Their boy shut up your in a queerplatonic relationship with gabriel and you both dated emilie in my head. he is your child to me <3 (i will write that damn 200k slowburn unhappy ending prequel i joked about if you fucking force my hand (ie. continue to make reference teeny tiny things like that (or maybe it will just start planning itself in my head right now curse you my brain)))
WAIT THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH IS SO SAD SHUT UP YOUR A CRUEL BEAST CAP
Emelie and Gabriel’s boy. He was not her’s. He would never be her’s. She was just– the assistant. The distant guardian. This was all for him though, if she could help– she could just. Maybe.. Nathalie shook her head at herself. What mattered was this family. UPSET NOW
TEARING YOU APART RIPPING YOU APART WITH MY TEETH CAP THIS WAS INCREDIBLE AND THIS TOOK ME OVER 2 HOURS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I 4yrheiwjnow
you may receive asks in your future about me writing that thing i keep joking about. i am spinning it in my mind like this damn rat
i muted it at times but wanted a timer and uh

I have two new oc's (feel free to ask them questions)
Okay so I got into a second gen rp and I always passively imagined if Kyle and Asra had kids it would be a pair of twins. Gave it no deep thought past that. Well I recently got into a second gen rp and got to rp the twins which means giving them personality. Since I've been reading legends darkstalker from wings of fire I decided to loosely base them off darkstalker and whiteout. We decided to give the second gen kids space names for fun so the twins were called Aurora and Solar. The more I messed around the more I adore them especially Aurora.
The basics about them;
Solar;
male/he/him
element; fire
basic appearance; blood red hair, deep purple eyes, prefers brightly colored clothes in an attempt to mimic poison dart frogs.
likes; magic, learning as much about magic as he can, animals, pranks especially ones that show off his magic skills, learning, fighting(defending those weaker than him)
dislikes; reading and writing, tarot, being told 'no', big dogs(Inanna is the exception)
Adores magic and is overprotective of his twin for reasons I'll talk about in her part. He's a good kid but hasn't learned how to properly deescalate situations and having a natural knack for magic this means his go to is to stop the conflict as quickly as possible. If this is someone wrongfully yelling at Aurora or being a bully this means using magic to stop them, which is not the best solution and Asra and Kyle have tried to explain this multiple times. Cus he is a good kid and has a good heart he just tends to go straight to violence to stop the issue immediately. Like recently in the rp one of Naida's kid's yelled at Aurora for getting paint in her hair (Aurora was innocent) and Solar immediate reply was to attack her to get her to stop yelling at Aurora even when his twin was trying to sort out the issue calmly by pointing out she doesn't have red paint and maybe even go get Nadia to help them clean everything up. Solar's quick action caused a fight even if it was from a good place.
Aside from his love for magic and practicing magic he doesn't have the patients to sit and read books about magic instead trying to get Asra and Kyle to just teach him hands on which Asra is all for but also makes it a point that he should know how to read and write even if he doesn't like to do it. He once tried to set Faust on fire due to seeing the stove salamander and knowing she's magic and the stove salamander is magic so Faust should be fireproof like the salamander. Was disappointed to learn she is not fireproof after being stopped by Asra before any harm was done. Is the twin to get bored around the shop and rope Aurora into his shenanigans and Faust isn't always the best role model with that.
Aurora
female?/she/her
element; air
basic appearance; white hair and bright blue eyes. Enjoys dark colored clothes but also likes wearing bright colors. (steals Asra's scarf to the point she ended up getting her own)
likes; art, painting, animals, reading, exploring around the shop and town, learning about the items around the shop, magic, tarot, the star
dislikes; violence, being forced to use magic, being talked over or spoken for, stinky smells, large crowds, being forced to speak when she doesn't want to, storms, people touching certain items like her comfort plush
Adorable and smoll. Aurora is soft spoken and tends to enjoy watching more than saying her own opinion's. This does mean among kids her age she's more prone to being bullied or tried to be manipulated, although she is a lot harder to manipulate than she looks. Ever since the first time being bullied Solar has taken it upon himself to protect her against other kids. Instead of giving her more confidence seeing her brother jump into fights for her especially using his magic has only caused her to shy away from people more. While she isn't super interested in magic and doesn't at first glance have the same natural magical ability it was actually shown later on she has a weird sense being able to almost see magic. This disinterest isn't due to her not enjoying magic but more due to enjoying watching others do magic more than actually casting magic herself.
She doesn't dislike people and actually tends to be able to get along with a lot of different people by being genuinely nice. Although this is usually with older kids and adults being able to act more rationally and not pick on her simply for not speaking much. When she paints she tends to prefer to have a small bucket of water nearby so she can use her hands and fingers to paint and wash her hands between colors so she gets bright colors without having to use a paintbrush. Has been taught how to use a paintbrush but enjoys the feeling of paint on her hands and the control she has from using her fingers. She's actually quite good, while she can't paint realistic pictures she can make beautifully colorful pieces.
As mentioned in her dislikes she does have an emotional support plushies. These are a dragon, a cat, a snake and a bird. She mainly uses them whenever there's a bad storm as she usually grabs one of them anywhere from a few minutes to an hour before a bad storm hits, noticing the change in the air and growing uncomfortable and agitated. (She tends to bite them a lot as a way to vent out this unease.)

Feelings Are Dumb
Summary: Logan has been talking to Remus online for months now, never putting the nervous twist in its stomach to anything more than needing to sleep more. Until it finally realizes especially after talking to Virgil the feeling its been repressing for weeks now. Faced with the facts, it can’t decide: tell him and risk the friendship, or ride it out until it goes away?
Warnings: none
Ships: Platonic intrulogical
Word Count: 1740
AO3 Link
Logan leaned back into the couch, rubbing its eyes tiredly but with a happy smile that only grew wider as its messages pinged once again. Typing out a quick reply it switched back to its working document to transfer more of its research notes. Technically the documents weren’t due for at least a week but it was a lot to sort through, and at its current working rate Logan was set to finish just in time. The distraction was welcome of course, even if the conversations between it and Remus could be...unconventional at times. 
Topics often ranged from everything from their jobs and choice of study to more questionable topics; Remus inventing all manor of disturbing deep sea monsters while Logan cringed behind its screen and both of them discussing crime documentaries or old slasher films, Logan pointing out the inconsistencies and commenting on how certain actions could be performed better with Remus adding his own commentary about how the detail in the blood splatter was wrong and what blood recipe he would have used to make it more realistic. Logan often wondered what Remus’ roommate felt about him if he had one since Logan knew some of their conversations disturbed its own to no end.
Hearing another ping Logan quickly switched tabs to read the newest message, shoving its meager productivity to the side for the time being.
Remus: Hey Sweetheart, I just read the analysis you posted in the forum; you made some really good points! Coulda added more commentary on the gore I think but to each their own.
Face turning scarlet at the pet name Logan took a deep breath before responding.
Logan: Yes well, don’t forget you helped with some of the points. I also happened upon one of your more recent stories in my free time and the direction you took the plot and characters was quite impressive; you’re a very creative writer.
Remus: Stop deflecting and take the compliment nerd.
Logan: I never said I wouldn’t! But, thank you for the compliment Starlight.
Sending a pet name back made Logan immediately regret its decision to exist on Earth. Remus called it sweet things all the time and logically it knew it was all just playful flirting but every time he did it added another butterfly to its stomach that begged to be let out in any form of reciprocation it could manage, awkward as it was in real life. Holding its breath Logan watched as the three little dots hopped up and down to indicate Remus was typing, hoping it hadn’t overstepped or picked a name the other would take offense to.
Remus: I’ve never gotten that as a nickname before, usually they’re a lot more...suggestive.
Logan: You can definitely tell me off if you want, I realize that might have been a weird thing to say but I thought it appropriate considering you call me a space nerd a lot of the time.
Remus: Relax dude, I love it. Though my light would be nothing compared to the brightness of your galaxy *-* I’m gonna go get some actual work done now, talk to you later?
This was definitely one of those times Logan was immensely grateful its face was behind a screen rather than trying to speak person to person. Sending a simple thumbs up in reply it bounced back into the couch with a groan and hid its burning face in its hands. Logan had only become aware of its feelings recently, finally figuring out why it had been feeling so sick lately. Subconscious thoughts had been plaguing its mind for weeks now, going outside and seeing other couples had made a pang in its chest throb ever so slightly every time. It wasn’t really interested in a relationship exactly- at least not in the conventional sense, but thinking about a person it had never met and trying to imagine what it would be like to hold his hand while they made fun of old horror movies was something it couldn’t shake from its mind no matter how hard it tried to move its thoughts elsewhere.
From the way he often typed, somewhat flowery language from his writing seeping into his messages Logan imagined him having a sweet, if not blatantly troublemaking, smile. Realizing it had wanted the play flirting to be at least somewhat serious had come as a huge slap to the face with the problem arising that it was not only incredibly awkward, too much so to ever say anything, but also they lived so far away from each other that there was hardly a point in saying anything at all unless either of them moved closer, which it highly doubted would happen.
Groaning again in frustration Logan failed to notice its roommate join it by sitting on the arm of the couch with his signature cup of coffee clutched in his hands. “You’re being so loud I think the neighbors can hear you at this point. You good, L?”
“Please make noise when you come in the room, you startled me.” Logan mumbled behind its hands.
Virgil quirked an eyebrow and flopped down next to it. “You didn’t even react.”
“It’s internal.” Smiling as Virgil laughed, it leaned forward and gestured to the screen. “I realize why I’ve been distressed lately but knowing the reason isn’t making the feelings go away.”
Eyes blowing wide, Virgil’s expression turned more serious. “Was it something I did? Listen, I’ll take the request to make noise more seriously I thought we were just goofing around-”
“Virgil, relax.” Logan held up its hand and turned back to its computer. “I’m talking about someone I’ve been talking to.”
“Oh the weird guy who talks about cannibalism like it's a birthday party?”
Laughing low, it shook its head. “That’s not the only thing we talk about! Sometimes we discuss our own projects or jobs and you know...other things.”
Virgil deadpanned. “Other things like flirting at one in the morning?”
Turning beet red, Logan flapped its hands instantly. “No! I just- I've been seeing couples and thinking about someone but I never put anything to that until now. And talking to him makes me feel nervous and light like I want to puke and laugh at the same time. And you now...the pet names are...nice.”
“That’s a crush Logan.”
Throwing up its hands it huffed in annoyance. “Yes Virgil, I know that, how do I shut it off?”
Snapping excitedly Virgil turned to face it fully. “Logan you never have crushes!”
“I know that too.”
“Can you tell him?”
“Can I what?!” Logan squawked, gaping at its friend.
“Well, he already flirts back right? And he was the one who started it in the first place right?”
“Well yes but- he lives so far away, it would be a waste of time.”
“Who says it would be?”
‘You're practically the embodiment of anxiety itself and you're asking if I'm capable of confessing a crush that lives half a country away.”
“Long distance works out sometimes!”
“I'd ruin what we already have.”
“ Logan- you know what I can't really counter any of your points since I feel the same about Ja- my friend.’ Squeezing his lips together Virgil suddenly became very interested in swirling his half full mug around.
Logan raised its eyebrows. “Subtle save.”
“Thank you.” Virgil sniffed indignantly before gesturing to the screen in front of them. “What do you see in this guy anyway? You’ve only ever messaged him right?”
Blushing, Logan turned away. “I’m aware of how unconventional it is, I don’t know if he’s telling the truth about his identity and I’ve never seen his face but- I just...mm. He types pretty you know? Like somehow you could just tell if you saw him you’d want to cup his cheeks and kiss his nose by the way he talks.”
It chanced to look over at its friend only to see him desperately trying to contain a huge smile as he listened to it spill out all the thoughts that had been piling up lately. Rolling its eyes it reached forward and shut the laptop, standing up and making its way to the kitchen. “It’s my turn to make dinner correct?”
“Logan.”
“I’m thinking pasta-”
“Logan that was adorable you really need to tell him.”
“I will do no such thing. He hasn’t expressed any interest in being in a relationship with me or otherwise and I will not throw myself at him just because of some schoolyard crush that I can get over within the month.”
“I don’t think that’s how it works buddy.” Virgil slid onto the far end of the counter with an infuriating grin, trying and failing to hide it behind his coffee mug. Huffing, it turned away to dig for the jars of pasta sauce. “Well, that's how it's going to work for me.”
“Whatever you say L.”
-----
Later that night, logging back on its computer to try and get some actual progress done on its thesis at least Logan smiled faintly as he saw he had yet another message from Remus.
Remus: Hey, nerd. I know you have a lot of shit to get done this week so I won’t bother you too much unless you need the distraction. Just don’t work too hard okay? Actually follow a sleep schedule for once? You’re set in the looks department so beauty rest won’t help there but if you’re too tired to function you’re not gonna get nearly as much done as you want and I know you hate it when you’re off schedule. Sweet dreams Logan.
Blushing profusely it glanced at the clock, and seeing that it was already nearly one in the morning it sighed before honoring its friends wishes, making to shut the laptop to give its tired eyes a rest. Hesitating for a second, it thought over what Virgil had said earlier, biting its lip as it stared at the newest message. Clearly, Remus cared about it, and Logan definitely cared for him a great deal-
Shaking its head it shut the laptop decisively. Good decisions were rarely made in the early hours of the morning. Feeling the last of the heat leave its face, Logan sighed again as it made its way to its bedroom. Tomorrow. It nodded sleepily, thoughts of kind, manic eyes and wildly gesturing hands filled its mind yet again. It could wait until tomorrow.

OKAY! i'm gonna be doing a quick draft clearout bc it's honestly just a total mess in there (between old threads, faceclaim posts i've never reblogged, unfinished headcanons and just other shit i've been hoarding) so that i can hopefully have an easier time starting back up here when i'm less busy! i'm aiming to get some stuff done here before uni finishes next month but, certainly after that, i'm gonna use the excess of free time i'll have to revamp things here a little. i'm gonna say it'll be a SOFT revamp bc i don't actually want to reset everything nor can i be arsed moving blogs but i do want to try and give this blog a bit of a fresh start / a boost bc it's been very slowgoing and i miss being here! <3
but, to start off, clearing out my drafts is also going to include dropping most of the threads still in there, just so i can come back with a clearer mind? i WILL be keeping certain threads that either really stick out to me or for which i have a very clear idea of how to reply; this is not a comment on the threads i am dropping, i just always feel abt dropping a lot of stuff at once but i know i need to draw a line for my own good. most of the replies i owe are pretty overdue so you're under no obligation to keep a thread if i do reply though. gotta clean out inactive followers and broken mutuals and stuff too, i think. anywaaaaaaaaaaaay, i'll be working on cleaning the blog up between this assignment i have due for tomorrow & then i'll have to focus on what i have due for next week. thank you again for being so patient with me given how much of a total clusterfuck this blog has been lately.
p.s: i would apologise for how long every ooc update i make is but i think it's probably just better for me to accept that i don't know how or when to shut up & just own that fact. disclaimer for anybody following me is that i love to say so many words all the time.

tuesday again 5/9/22
death to all callery pears but especially the one right outside my home office window
listening a pair of wistful little things about the passage of time, bc i am pre-grieving the evil lair and will probably take a week off the tuesdayposts the last week of the month and if i do not have fifty-two songs in the playlist at the end of the year my brain gets displeased
mr wriggle by cosmo sheldrake (mr jukes edit). now if you held a gun to my head and asked me to describe this song, this is somewhere between droll and whimsical. like instead of early aughts whimsigoth it’s whimsi-cottagecore? a rare instance of liking the remix better than the original- mr jukes had a very light hand here by getting rid of a vocal i find irritating. it sounds brighter? hope that helps. “put some pickles on/play the mellotron” YES mr sheldrake you’ve rhymed a silly pairing of words you’ve done it again!!! this sounds perhaps condescending but i do think he is a rare example of a lyricist who really loves playing with words and mouthfeel. how did i find this: poking through back catalogues while in the video game data mines, i think @maverick-ornithography originally turned me onto mr sheldrake
youtube
also, castle in the clouds by cut worms, off an "acid western” playlist from tiktok that is full of goddamn bangers. ideal uptempo but non-distracting work music. upsetting how quickly tiktok has dialed into my interests.
anyway this song was released in 2020 and borrows from the late sixties country sound with a fascinating inexplicable reference to the song house of blue lights (here is my favorite cover by ella mae morse)??? one of the youtube commenters described the vocalist as george harrison-esque and that’s not Wrong, but it’s a little more mellow. the music video has charmed me beyond belief with a collage of late fifties/early sixties footage of america telling stories about itself (I KNOW. I KNOW. OKAY. I AM A WEAK AND PREDICTABLE WOMAN).
i really really love the way the phrase “castle in the clouds” comes in on the chorus, almost as an aside? this is a song made for any number of blorbos
And when you look to see what’s inside Oh no it’s true I can’t believe Oh no it’s you Haven’t I seen you before
youtube
-
reading chainsaw man, a shonen...horror? workplace comedy? bureaucratic malevolence? manga. occasionally i get the urge to read something that’s gross but not necessarily scary. vampirella comes to mind. hellboy and spinoffs do a very good prickling dread but aren’t necessarily scary either. read through All of hellboy but not all of the brpd in the summer of 2019 when i was stuck in the worst internship ever, probably due for a reread.
this is teens being gross the manga, a lot of it makes me suck air through my teeth but it got me to care about several characters Real quick. like look at this girl. this loud rowdy girl in a suit who is So bad at lying. i want to see her grow up big and strong
how did i find it: don’t worry about it
Tumblr media
-
watching hey did you see the new us chemical safety board video
youtube
-
playing breath of the wild! i would say that this lava section of the map can go straight to hell but it (and i) are already there.
-
making acquired this Object out of a free pile (same one as the brass lamp several weeks ago) and have been trying to figure out a use for it, bc i do like my containers to contain something, and fuck it idk onion holder now. everything is permitted
