#8 years late to loving heathers

Sometimes I’ll be reading a 1980s chansaw Heathers fic, and I don’t know if the author intentionally wrote a homophobia-free parallel universe, or if the fic writer just… literally forgot to write in the period-accurate homophobia
#chansaw#heathers#8 years late to loving heathers#whatever you prefer I honestly find it distracting to NOT have the concerns aired about coming out#it feels distinctly less real—like it really should’ve been a modern fic#anyways…

Gold shined through the towering windows of the decrepit mansion, it was morning, and the
downstairs bustled with maids and butlers as they began their routine of tending to the Mulberry
family. Heather, the head of it, paid them no mind and only briefly oversaw their work before
finally getting enough guts to confront the issue.
Elizabeth, her daughter, had been acting strange these few couple days. When Mrs. Mulberry
first inquired her about her unusual behavior, it started off with Eliza insisting nothing was wrong.
But when probed, she snapped. Heather was initially apologetic as she had thought she had
overstepped her boundaries and agreed to give her the space her daughter needed. But as the
days passed, the young girl became more angsty and even rude to her mother, going as far as
to backtalk her at one point.
This wasn’t her little girl, she knew. Although Heather wanted to ask more questions and figure
out why the child was being so cold to her and even their staff, she held back. Now, Mrs.
Mulberry wasn’t one to be frustrated, or even angry as acting out would never solve any
problems. But when Elizabeth uttered a passive insult for no apparent reason to the maid
serving them their dinners, Heather had enough and sent her off to bed early
Elizabeth huffed and stormed out of the dining room, much to the dismay of her mother and the
rest of the staff who did their best to not eavesdrop. Now that a full day has passed, the British
woman couldn’t help but feel guilty for raising her voice, even if objectively it was by a small
margin. Her child was suffering somehow and she promised herself she would never react that
again, no matter what Eliza did.
Now facing the tall double doors that lead inside to the 8-year-old’s room, Heather briefly sighed
before grasping the doorknob and twisting it open. The room was vast and wide, the entire wall
in front of her was only windows, filling the room with the beautiful sunrise. But what she was
really focused on was the large bed in the corner of the room harboring a small lump beneath its
sheets.
Heather smiled at the sight, approaching the little girl with a gaze filled with nothing but warmth
and affection for her child. The blanket that covered her body rose up and down in slow
patterns. Elizabeth was facing away from her and although her face was almost completely
pressed into her pillow, her expression was relaxed and peaceful as she quietly slumbered.
She hated that she had to interrupt something so precious but she did come here for a reason.
Reaching a hand forward, Heather placed her gloved hand on her shoulder and gently shook it.
“Wake up, my love. It’s morning.” Her voice was at a near whisper, the Brit knew Eliza was a
light sleeper so it didn’t take long for her to arise.
Elizabeth grimaced before opening her eyes but immediately shielded them from the bright sun.
She turned on her side facing her mother. Her eyes widened a bit and Eliza had started to avoid
her line of sight, mumbling a brief greeting.
“Eliza, we need to talk about last night.”
And just like that, Eliza recoiled, almost cringing as her mother sat down on the edge of her bed,
her feet nearly touching her back. Her mother’s gaze was unwavering but ultimately concerned,
as she stared at her daughter. Elizabeth could hardly meet her mother’s eyes, preferring to stare
at the comforter that she wished she could grab, but could hardly focus to summon her “hands”.
“Elizabeth, love. Why did you say those things?”
The dam seemed to break in an instant as the green-eyed child did her best to fight back the
tears and the immeasurable guilt she was feeling. But alas, thin streaks of tears escaped her
eyes and nearly all the way down her pale skin. It was stopped by her mother’s comforting hand
as she wiped away the tears. “Shh…shh…I’m not angry at you, Eliza.”
That only seemed to make her feel even worse as she began to sputter and hiccup as sobs
bubbled inside her chest. Heather seemed to sense she was reaching the edge, so she calmly
wrapped her arms around the small girl, a hand behind her head as she whispered assurances
into her ear. “Just let it all out, dear. I’m listening.”
Eliza cried out into her mother’s arms, hardly able to keep the tears and snot off the designer
clothing she donned. “I-I didn’t mean to…”
Heather chuckled a bit and released her daughter, her hand holding the side of her face as her
yellow eyes brewed with understanding and patience. “I know you didn’t mean to, sweetheart. I
know you better than you think.”
This seemed to calm Elizabeth down enough for her to speak more coherently. The girl wiped
the remaining tears off of her face, few managing to leak. “Take your time, I just want to know
what’s wrong.”
Elizabeth stared off for a moment, contemplating what she could say before even speaking up.
Her sweet little voice was croaky and sorrowful from the crying, Heather could only hope to
remedy this later on. She brought her knees up to her face. “My classmates have been really
mean to me…”
The British woman’s eyes fell, so that’s what's been going on. She didn’t comment on it, only
choosing to nod her head with acknowledgment. She went on. “They said I was ugly and I’ll
*sniff* never be loved.” Her voice cracked as she recited what these supposed classmates had
been saying to her.
Now Heather had the chance. “And how did that make you feel?”
Eliza began to cry again, eyebrows furrowed with regret. “Really bad…”
“So why do you think it’s okay to make someone else feel the same, hm?” Saying those words
stung to even belt out, but it was necessary.
“It’s not! I was just so-”
“Upset?” She finished. “Your feelings are valid, Eliza, believe me. But that’s no reason to treat
someone else as terribly.”
Elizabeth looked even more guilty and hid her face into her knees, softly sobbing to herself.
“I think I deserve an apology, don’t you think?” Heather crossed her arms, looking at her child
expectantly.
Eliza finally met her gaze, her green eyes wrought with salty tears. “I’m really sorry.”
Heather was almost satisfied, keyword, almost. “You should always tell someone what you’re
sorry for when apologizing, love.” She was already reaching forward to embrace her daughter
once again, smiling kindly at her.
Elizabeth didn’t wait a second and crashed into her arms. “I’m sorry for saying all those rude
things, Mom. I’ll never do it again.”
The British woman encased her entirely in her arms, doing her best to calm down her crying
daughter. “Thank you, Elizabeth. I forgive you.”
The child wrapped her arms around her mother, falling limp as she was held so close, she could
smell the expensive perfume radiating from her clothes.
“I’ll make sure to say sorry to the maid later.” She heard the girl chirp in her arms. This surprised
the woman, but this ultimately bloomed into pride as she once again expressed her maturity.
“As you should, dear.” Heather let go of the girl and smiled at her. Elizabeth did the same but
was a fool to not expect her mother to suddenly press a long, tender kiss on her forehead. It
was dramatic, as all her other ones, making all the intense tingling on her head send butterflies
to her belly. Eliza’s chest shook with giggles as her mother pressed tiny kitten kisses to the
sides of her cheeks and ears.
“Mom, that tickles!” The green-eyed child cried, the sadness that remained in her heart from the
situation seemed to disappear in an instant.
“Oh, does it now~” Eliza’s heart dropped, she should not have planted that seed in her head.
Heather was notorious for tickling the young girl, especially when she was particularly stubborn
in the mornings. Her feet were the spot that always had her teary-eyed and begging for mercy
from the supposed ‘tickle monster’ mantel her mother claimed she possessed.
Time seemed to move in an instant as a gentle but firm hand managed to fasten around her
ankle when Elizabeth attempted to squirm away.
“N-no Mom, please I’m sorry!”
Her mother looked up at her curiously. “Now why apologize again, love? You’ve already had.”
And just like that, gloved but ruthless digits began to glide painfully across her socked sole.
Elizabeth was already beginning to crack up but chose to resist, biting to bottom of her lip as
she tried to block out the insane tingling shooting up her leg.
Elizabeth was gasping for respite as her mother showed no sign of stopping the tickly torment,
now circling a single finger around her sole as her foot scrunched up to attempt to block her
from traveling further.
“Oh, trying to stop me now?” Mrs. Mulberry looked back at her daughter, silently admiring her
panicked expression. “Just let it all out, dear. You know you want to laugh~”
Now her mother was beginning to claw up and down the socked skin, chuckling deviously as
she watched her daughter desperately try to contain herself. It only took a few more seconds
before Elizabeth was overwhelmed with a storm of uncontrollable giggles, her mouth agape her
bubbly and saccharine laughter lit up the room brighter than the sun ever could.
Heather smiled, now showing teeth. “Good girl~”
“Nohohoho! Ihihit’s too muhuhuch!” Elizabeth cried, her cheeks a gorgeous pink while her eyes
couldn’t be seen as they were too scrunched up with mirth.
“Oh love, we’ve barely even started.” Mrs. Mulberry began to scratch at her arches, a noticeable
sweet spot for the poor girl as she hollered. “Plehehease Mom! Eehehehahaha!”
“I don’t think so, young lady. You’ve been quite spunky recently, haven’t you?”
Heather’s smile widened at her increased thrashing. Eliza was turning from left to right, her
arms well wrapped around her torso as she cackled freely into the air, her laughter bouncing off
the walls.
“Buhuhut I sahahaid I was sohohorry!”
The Brit shrugged her shoulders. “That you did, but you never apologized for being so ticklish,
now did you?” She laughed a little when her daughter’s cheeks turned a little darker at the
tease. “Nohohoho! Thahahahat’s stuhuhuhpid!”
Heather recoiled in mock offense. “Oh, nothing is stupid about your little quirk, little one. I can
nip your heels…” She pinched her heel fast all over. “Scratch your sweet little soles…” She
clawed at the flesh. “And even tease your cute arches!” Heather scribbled at her arches,
titillating the flesh with the pressure of a feather, making it all the more ticklish and torturous.
Elizabeth was losing it, her face well past its peak of pink and now resided into a redder territory.
She could hardly even thrash anymore as she had used up so much of her energy earlier.
“MOHOHOM, AHAAHAAHAAH!”
“Oh, but I cannot forget the most important thing of all~”
Oh no.
She knew where this was going.
Elizabeth couldn’t stand anyone touching her there.
The child glanced at her mother, desperation burning behind her green eyes. Her mother locked
eyes with her, a few seconds passing by as the two silently read each other through their gazes.
One was desperate the other wouldn’t do it. Meanwhile, the other couldn’t care less and even
had the nerve to give her a warm yet infuriating smile.
Mrs. Mulberry posed her clawed hand above her quivering foot. “Those pesky little toes!” She
dug in, making sure her digits fit perfectly before scritching at the skin in between each
phalange, making sure the material she wore on her feet rubbed against the sensitive skin
between the toes. She scritched the spaces delicately, knowing the itchy socks would do most
of the work for her. Elizabeth couldn’t squeal louder, throwing her head back to belt out what
she’d been holding in, mirth couldn’t describe her condition, she was just far too ticklish!
“NAHAHAHAH!” Eliza screeched, burrowing her face into her pillows and sheets to cope with
the insane sensations she was feeling.
Heather picked up on the cough in the middle of her hysterics and gave her one good last tickle
before letting up and releasing her foot from her captivity.
Elizabeth was far too giggly to realize she had been let go, so she lay limp on her bed, her lips
continuing to let out loads of giggling before she ultimately relaxed. Mrs. Mulberry covered her
mouth to hide her proud smirk, snickering as her daughter gulped down greedy breaths of air.
“My my, still as ticklish as always hm?”
The mess of purple hair turned to glare at her, which only lengthened Heather’s smirk.
“Nghhh…” She groaned.
The Brit giggled once more before she began to relax herself. “Are you alright?”
Elizabeth nodded her head, her chest laid across the soft bed. Heather’s gaze softened and she
once again leaned down to give her a kiss, it was very brief and pressed into her temple rather
than barrage her with kisses.
She peacefully accepted it and closed her eyes when it was executed. Elizabeth however was
confused when her mother continued to stare at her, the warmth behind her eyes ignited to a
blaze. “What?”
“It’s nothing, just admiring my beautiful and brilliant daughter~”
The girl groaned yet again, rolling her eyes before hiding her face once again, face red at the
sudden praise. Heather grinned. “Now don’t hide that gorgeous face from your mother!”
As if Eliza couldn’t get any redder, she felt more blood pulsate throughout her entire visage. She
had her head pressed under a pillow as she kept pinned at its sides. “Come now, love. Let me
see that face your classmates are so jealous of~”
Elizabeth refused to react any further, refusing to show her her smiley face.
“Ah, I see how it is~”
The young girl was relieved that her mother was finally gone- what!
At lightning speed, her mother managed to summon her own pair of disembodied hands that
kept her feet still when she tore off the socks, the only thing that protected her from her mother’s
total wrath was gone and thrown carelessly onto the floor. She couldn’t move her ankles one
inch.
“W-WAIT!” Elizabeth threw off the pillow and was now scrabbling to turn to face her mom, but
could hardly even turn her body since she was pinned.
Heather wanted to make this easier on her, so she simply turned to her child and wiggled her
fingers at her. “Oh I wonder what these would do to your pretty feet~” She was teasing her, and
even at one point lowered them so close she was nearly touching her bare soles. Eliza couldn’t
believe the mess she was in and fell limp, accepting her fate.
Mrs. Mulberry snickered a bit. It was such a shame Elizabeth had to suffer such a terrible fate as
in that moment, she had a devious idea. Wearing gloves all the time left her hands quite soft
and smooth, but that didn’t mean she didn’t take care of them after all. As a lady, it was her job to keep her nails clean and consistent. So when Heather began to slowly pull the corner of the
glove, revealing her pale skin. She rubbed them, it had been a while since she took them off so
she took a bit of time getting used to the new air, even going as far as to crack her knuckles.
This caught the attention of her daughter and once she realized what was going to happen
began to struggle, pulling at her ankles as hard as she could muster while curling them up as
much as possible.
Heather chuckled at her fruitless efforts and simply raked her well-manicured, blunt fingernails
up and down the tender skin. Elizabeth was reduced to a giggling pile of nothing instantly, it was
obvious that she was sensitive but to this degree was shocking. Even after she stopped, she
could still feel the sensations of her mother's fingers clawing her skin.
“Plehehehease, mohohommy-” Eliza caught herself and covered her mouth in shock, hoping
that her mother didn’t hear. But she did and she was smiling.
“It’s as if you were a toddler yesterday. Never change.” Mrs. Mulberry says affectionately and
shakes her head with a soft laugh. She was no less reminded of the times Elizabeth as a
younger child giggling and pleading for her mother to stop tickling her with her nails. Did she
listen? If she actually meant it then yes, but more often than not it would result in more of her
fingertips pressing into her soft soles and keeping the baby in stitches all over again.
Elizabeth howled when nails scritched up and down the flesh, her mother even going as far as
to circle her nails around the balls of her ankles, knowing well that spot was unusually sensitive.
She went back to tormenting the creamy skin, making sure to show every spot a bit of love
before moving on. Eliza was hysterical, laughing so hard and so loud the Mulberry staff could
hear everything from outside the room and downstairs where they were desperately preparing
but couldn’t help but slow down and even snicker to themselves as they knew exactly what was
taking place upstairs.
Not a second was spared further and they continued their work, their day getting a bit brighter
with each squeal heard.

Would you make a part 2 of heather👉👈
Omg, did somebody actually ask me to write something? Damn....I feel.....honored. Thanks Anon!
Part 1 here
☁️ Heather Part 2 ☁️
Gn!reader
(Bakugou's POV)
It's been a week since Y/N told me about what happened. I mean, I wasn't surprised, I had a suspicion about them liking IcyHot, but hearing it directly, hurt.
Ever since, I've stuck by Y/N's side, spending more time with 'em. I'm trying my best to impress Y/N, maybe then, they'll notice me.
Maybe.
(Y/N's POV)
Something weird is going on... Bakugou has been acting differently around me lately. He's been spending more time with me, and, I noticed, that he always leaves and enters class the same time I do. He walks me to school in the morning, and then back to the dorms in the afternoon.
I've never seen him like this before, he's never shown any interest in befriending me, so why now? Was he feeling bad because of what happened with Todoroki? I really don't know. Maybe it's just his "mom instincts" (he's followed Sero and Denki around before after they got themselves in big problems.)
Anyways, what happened today though, was much different. Instead of just hanging around near me, he plopped down on the couch. Directly beside me, thighs touching.
In the background, I hear fangirling squeals coming from Mina, Hagakure, and Denki. Whatever's up with them....(little does Y/N know, they're happy Bakugou actually agreed to sit that close to you [courtesy to Mina who convinced him])
We sat there for a long while, just me and him, as the common room slowly started to empty, everybody going to sleep. Everything was silent, each of us scrolling through our own phone, enjoying each other's presence.
Bakugou breaks the silence (brave move my man, I could never, breaking a silence scares me unless I'm with friends).
"Are you still thinking about that damn IcyHot?"
Short question, aggressive tone, but I could feel the caring tone hidden in his words.
"Hm?....Not really..."
"That ain't an answer." He replies.
I sigh, "Yes, sometimes...But I'm fine!"
"No, you're not." His voice is stern.
"Hm?" I turn my head to look at him. His red eyes staring into my [E/C] ones.
"Your eyebags are worse lately. You're not sleeping enough? If you're thinking about him, then stop, there's no point in thinking about a taken man." I understand he meant to make me feel better (let's be honest, Bakugou isn't the best in comforting people) but that did sting a little.
"Why do you care?" I ask, pouting a little, "I thought you don't care about anyone?"
He turns away, back to scrolling on his phone, a small scowl on his (rather beautiful) features. I thought I had beat him, so I got ready to go to my room and get some sleep (actually, stay awake, overthinking my whole entire life) when he suddenly whispers something that makes me freeze in shock.
"Because I love you, dumbass."
I stand there in shock for a second, eyes wide, the heat creeping up to my cheeks. "W-what..?"
"I ain't repeating," he stands up and heads to the elevator.
"W-wait!" I call after him, running to catch up with his pace. Now we were both standing in front of the elevator door, having some sort of flustered staring contest.
Honestly, it felt as if something took over my body. I took a few steps forward and then, right in front of Bakugou, I stood on the tips of my toes, and gave him a peck. On. The. Lips.
I don't know why I did that, but now, as an adult, that was maybe the thing I've done my entire life.
Katsuki and I are now happily married of five years, he's the #2 Pro Hero Dynamite, and I'm the #8 Pro Hero [Hero Name].
Although, at the moment, I'm on a break, since Katsuki and I are expecting a little boy.
well hello there hoomans, this wasn't the best I could do (I'm not good at fluff) but meh. I feel like it was too quick😒 Anyways, hope you enjoyed!!

January 2024 Reading Wrap
First wrap up of the new year! I read 8 books this month, and I'd say it was a strong reading month overall. I read some new releases, caught up or finished series, and read some good stuff! I read 6 fantasy books, 1 nonfiction, and 1 regular fiction. 6 books I read physical copies, and 2 audiobooks.
1.A Winter's Promise (Mirror Visitor Quartet 1) by Christelle Dabos. 3/5 stars. This is a book I've been wanting to read since before it was translated into English. This book didn't quite live up to the expectations I had of it, but I still overall enjoyed it. I plan to continue the series, possibly quarterly. Young adult fantasy.
2. A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft. 4.5/5 stars. Another great Allison Saft book, and this one is possibly my favorite so far. This is exactly my type of fantasy romance and I was very invested in reading this. It's about a young magical seamstress who is commissioned to make the royal wedding clothes for the kingdom's prince. Young adult fantasy.
3.Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard. 3/5 stars. This was a fun read, but not the most exciting or great as it had the potential to be. The story has a fun cast of characters, and enjoyable world, but not a whole lot happened in this book. I can def see Aveyard's LOTR inspirations in this. I plan on continuing this series soon.
4.The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake. 2/5 stars. This was a disappointing end to a series and was very lackluster and fell apart at the end. Disappointing because of how much I loved book 2. There were some redeeming moments, but much of this book felt unnecessary or frustrating. Adult fantasy.
5.Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. 5/5 stars. This is a collection of essays by the author about the world around us, life, nature, and the way we interact with the world. Absolutely my new favorite thing and much of Kimmerer's teachings in the book resonate with me very deeply. Read on audio- which I highly recommend. Nature/essays.
6.Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde 2) by Heather Fawcett. 5/5 stars. This was just as good as book 1, and I loved the new adventure and learning more about fairies. Emily and Wendall are my favorite, and I can't wait to see how this series concludes.
7.Beartown (Beartown 1) by Fredrik Backman 4.5/5 stars. I read this book in less than 24 hours and it emotionally abused me throughout. I'm late to the game in regards to this book (no pun intended) but I'm glad I finally read it. Backman never disappoints, and I plan to continue the series soon. Fiction.
8. Mislaid in Parts Half-Known (Wayward Children 9) by Seanan McGuire. 4/5 stars. This felt like the continuation of Antsy's story from book 8, but with some of our main cast of characters on a new quest. Very enjoyable and another solid installment in the series. Is the last time we see the "main cast?". Read on audio. Fantasy.
That's it for January! I am currently reading my TBR Pick of the Month, The Throne of the Five Winds, but I am only still in the first half of the book, so I will have to finish it up for Feb. I also started a new nonfiction audiobook, but am still in the first half of that as well.
February TBR:
finish The Throne of the Five Winds by SC Emmett
Crescent City 3
Nonfiction Audiobook (finish)
Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
What Feasts at Night by T Kingfisher
TBR Pick of the month
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman (?)

I've been telling friends about one of my favorite shows, Magnificent Seven, from late 90's, which was also probably my first foray into fandom. I don't even know why I or even how I found fanfic back in 1998 - but I did, and I have loved them ever since. But it's not just the show that I love, it is the fandom. Maybe because it was almost all older women, or maybe people were just nicer back then - there were no ship wars. None. Not even a thing. 99% of the fandom is genfic A++++ Found Family, but the ones who did ship characters together Shipped and Let Ship. Nobody bothered anybody. And there were like 7 or 8 widespread AU's that everyone agreed on - there was the OG Old West where the show was set, but then there was the WILDLY popular (to the point I thought THAT was the actual premise for the show, and 10 year old me was very shocked to find it was a western) ATF AU where the characters were federal agents. There was Lil Britches, which had several of the characters are children and the rest are adults, there's Star Trek and Star Wars, and them as private detectives, WWII soldiers, etc. The lists are endless. And none of them are bad.
And almost every single one of them is whumpy as fuck.
So I'm going to recommend my favorites:
The South Wind Series by Beth aka Midge
Replaced by Heather F
Pied Piper by Kelly A
Rough Beginnings by Shawna
The Devil's Bargain by Sue Necessary
Aftermath by BMP
Black and White by Violette
Abandoned by Jean
Ezra, In Between by MAC
Tuesday's Child: Lessons of Grace by Joy K
Run Like Hell by Beth aka Midge
Don't Know From Adam by Jordan Mckenzie
Bearing the Pain by Angela B (crossover with Big Valley)
All Things Considered by Nilah H
I could list pretty much every one I've ever read - I don't actually know that I read an M7 fic I didn't care for. However, almost all of these listed authors have more than one fic (some have a LOT more). So if you like them, more are easier to find. I haven't actually looked to see what's available on Ao3 or even ffn.net - because neither site existed when the fandom was in its heyday and everyone had their own web page for posting.

Dev Diaries
February 17, 2024
I almost put 2019 as the year and that's the energy I'm bringing to this update, help.
What Has Gemini Been Up To? -> The Knight Dance
This is around the time that the Black Visual Novel game jam would be in progress. Alas, there hasn't been an official announcement for 2024 so it's more than safe to assume that it's a hiatus year 😞 In my heart of hearts though, I still classify TKD as a jam project.
(Some might remember this idea was originally for the Yuri + Once Upon A Time jams but I had the suddenly good idea to like, chill, and shelve this project. I'm still a bit bothered I had to do that, but coming off of the development of Crushed was...brutal. Almost as if I didn't learn from my first project....huh.)
So late last month I started recruitment for sapphic project aka THE KNIGHT DANCE!! I have been DYING to work on this, but I wanted it to be a jam entry + team effort. I've never been on a team when it comes to game development! Way too anxious to function and for the longest stretch of time, I had zero experience. I have previous writing credits, but I wasn't sure how well my previous skills would translate over. And I was too embarrassed to reach out to a team and be like "hey, I don't know anything but I wanna help!". Maybe someone would have been cool with that, but I was too scared to put myself out there.
Well, Gemini is moving up in the world!! At the time of this post, I've assembled a team of people who are as jazzed as I am to work on this sapphic fairytale and bring it to life. There are a lot of first for me with this project, which means I will be learning a lot and taking copious notes.
Also I think I kind of suck at the leader part? 🤣 Methinks I was not built to be in charge.
This will have voice acting as well, and ohhhh my goodness after all the efforts to do partial VA in Crushed I really sat here and said, "Yes, yes... I shall do it again" 😭🤧💛
I don't anticipate TKD taking as long as Crushed did from start to finish (8 MONTHS Y'ALL, AHHHHHHH--), but I'm also prepared for anything to happen with TKD. I'm trying to extend the same grace to myself as I freely give to my teammates and anyone I work with, and let me say: I prefer bullying myself to being nice sometimes ☠️ I should work on that....
LOL I keep talking about TKD, but have yet to explain the concept! I'm unsure if this game with get the pinned post treatment but we'll cross that bridge later.
The Knight Dance is a sapphic remix not retelling of the original 12 Dancing Princesses story. We focus on the stubborn, youngest daughter of three, Princess Heather, and the knight who's already fallen in love with her, Lady Ezra. Are they meant to be or is love not enough???? 👀🍿
TKD takes a couple of the concepts I wanted but never saw all together.
12 Dancing Princess is one of my favorite fairytales and no one ever adapts this outside of literature.
I've wanted to do a sapphic game for a hot minute (HSDJY is basically yuri if you ask some disgruntled players LOL 🤷🏽♀️ Ryan and Langston are chopped liver...)
It's Black History month and I'm Black 365 days of the year and damn if I can't just see Black women falling in love and being loved in return????
The ridiculously stubborn girl trope and the love interest who loves her. I know some people are annoyed by MCs who would rather die than admit their feelings ('immature' comes up a LOT) so I was kind and kept y'all in mind when writing the script😂
So there's the update for the 'in progress' game. Tune in next time where we tackle -> HSD:JY 2...THE SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Oscar appreciation post because I love him so much. Even though some are old with zero consistency.
Also him and Heather, I adore them.
19/12/23: Updating this to include his story; Father's Gambit
14/01/24: Remembered write his backstory... more or less.
Oscar James Sunderland is James’s son, a product of a one night stand with Oriana (a OC, who alongside her husband Charles are a part of the Valtiel sect of the Order) born in October 1991.
He was handed over to Frank by Charles after Oriana died during childbirth. (I’ve considered the possibility that Oscar is Walter’s half-brother. Same mum, different fathers idk yet)
He’s albino, inherited from Frank (he’s albino) and Oriana. With it he’s very blind preferring contacts over glasses but keeps a pair just in case.
He also has crippling arachnophobia after being bitten by one and another crawling on his face.
He was raised by James and Mary mostly alongside Alex, who is Mary’s nephew. The couple planned to adopt Alex but Mary fell ill and lost contact with him towards the end of Mary’s life.
During the last year of Mary’s life; a year prior to SH2, James sent Oscar to live with Frank as he couldn’t cope with caring for both Mary and Oscar.
When SH2 (1998, Oscar would be 7) happened James abruptly whisked Oscar away with to Silent Hill under the guise of seeing Mary one last time… but it was so James can commit a murder/suicide.
Oscar had no monsters of his own but did see his father’s monsters and they ignored him. This also includes the PH who was his guardian during the times that Oscar and James got separated.
They got separated in Brookhaven after Laura locked James in a room. He fought Laura to get the key back but was too late, James had been whisked off into the Otherworld so PH babysat Oscar.
The PH would also escort him through the prison level after being too scared to jump after his dad.
Oscar’s arachnophobia developed into entomophobia
After finding out the truth, James took Oscar and Laura back to his car. He left Oscar with his jacket and said his goodbyes before taking off in his car to drive it into the lake. Both sat abandoned at the entrance to the town before Travis came along and picked them.
He had every intention to take the kids to Brahms but bumped into Aubrey McLynne (OC) on the way when stopping for gas.
It was then Aubrey took over, Travis was all too happy to hand the kids to a lady. It was awkward and Laura was pretty chatty.
The McLynnes ended up adopting Laura. They tried to reunite Oscar with Frank but Frank felt he was better off with them. They looked rich, surely they could get the help Oscar needed. (Frank was wrong about getting therapy) So the McLynnes adopted Oscar, they were taught how to fight, both doing kickboxing/boxing from 8 and 9.
Frank and Oscar’s relationship greatly suffered and were barely communicating
In 2004, the family moved from Brahms to Chamberlain when the kids were in the 8th grade (Oscar 13 and Laura 14). Oscar unchecked trauma and abandonment issues led to suicidal idealization
It was on a subway platform that he considered jumping in front of a train before Heather (14) stopped him. She begged him to play along as she spoke to him like he was a friend. She was being stalked. He helped her out, from there they became friends as they went to the same school.
In 2005, Oscar and Frank reconnected thanks to Murphy who had moved into the apartments. Murphy befriended Frank and offered to taxi Oscar to and from his home. The long drives enabled Murphy and Oscar to develop a father and son relationship
Between here and SH3, 2007. Oscar, 14 who once had a gap tooth now has upper front partial dentures after smashing his teeth in. He was trying to impress Heather while on a dirtbike… failed miserably.
And whilst working on a car with Murphy, Oscar’s right ring and pinky fingers were crushed under a wheel severing his pinky while degloving the other. They were amputated. It was a few months prior to SH3, so he was 16. (Oscar also got a DeLorean for his 16th birthday as his first car)
He also has a talent for acting and got the lead role in their school’s drama club production of Footloose which got Heather to fall for him.
As SH3 happened, Oscar and Heather were on their first date at a mall then a movie, possibly to see either The Mist or Paranormal Activity…. They had their own horror movie instead.
During Silent Hill, he gets a lovely cut on his forehead after Heather throws the seal of Metatron at him. He scared her with his red eyes. He also does get injured after cracking his ribs from taking the brunt of the fall from the rollercoaster for Heather.
He also gets a bisexual awakening from Vincent after he tends to the cut on his forehead.
Oscar also became a dad to Harper, a baby that appeared after god was slain. (Basically a reincarnation of Alessa)
After SH3, Heather moves into Oscar’s place until he graduates school at 18. It was also at 18 that he was made to work for his adoptive father, Russell. Russell is the drug warlord/don/head of a gang and he made Oscar his personal hitman. He orders him to kill a person, under duress that if he doesn't, his family will be killed. Oscar did as he was told but also pointed the gun at Russell in anger, because of this the boy was beaten within an inch of his life.
From his injuries, Oscar developed nystagmus (eye twitching)
After this, Oscar with Heather and Harper moved to Ashfield into the apartments. Although he still worked for Russell (he had 20 hits before the crash). He reunites with Alex, who Travis brought back. He also married Heather at 25 and fathering a child (Anya) with her at 26 via IVF (and Eileen also carried her)
Oh and he runs a charity that helps Ashfield homeless/poverish population purely self-serving, for he has a guilty conscious.

short version | long version | spotify wrapped
short version is the link to what you see here, my helpfully abridged version. long version will lead you to the 141 song, 8 hour and 17 minute supercut playlist which i’ve been slowly cultivating since early january. spotify wrapped will lead you to a mixture of the long and the short version, which is honestly pretty accurate but does not helpfully represent my ear worms of the week. i also skewed my data for it by listening to the spiritfarer and hollow knight soundtracks on repeat to ease the wedding anxieties.
also fun fact, the cover for this year's mix is actually a picture of the tree outside our room during our wedding day.
under the cut are the lyrics that really resonated with me and only a little personal tidbits from this year, because let's be real, nobody cares.
i. thumbs || sabrina carpenter
'cause that's just the way of the world
it never ends 'til the end and then you start again
This one was playing as we left the florence concert late last year and dogged me all through january and february last winter.
ii. dragostea din tei || feuerschwanz
Alo, salut, sunt eu un haiduc
Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea
Yes, it's a metal cover. Yes, I found it on tiktok. Yes, I love it unconditionally.
iii. edge of midnight || miley cyrus & stevie nicks
The midnight sky is the road I'm takin'
Head high up in the clouds (oh, oh)
There's THREE Miley Cyrus songs on here this year. Nuts. I really loved cranking this while driving home from Newark back when I was still hybrid. Much serotonin in those gray winter months.
iv. warrior of the mind || jorge rivera-herrans & teagan earley
Maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll
Make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
Is it REALLY a surprise that Epic grabbed me by the throat this year?
v. happier than ever || kelly clarkson
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone
I actually ended up hearing the Billie Eilish version of this first, but I ended up reading a post about how Billie's version was for the shitty boyfriend's of the world but Kelly's was to her mom and just. That resonated SO so much that it's stuck with me ever since. I have a complicated relationship with mine. She didn't come to my wedding this year. Anyway, definitely screamed this in my car on long drives.
vi. flowers || miley cyrus
i can buy myself flowers
write my name in the sand
I need to preface this with the fact that my partner and I have a wonderful relationship that I wouldn't trade for the world. This song is still a fucking banger.
vii. see you again || miley cyrus
I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will never be tamed
Third Miley song of the year, I believe all ear worms before March. I ended up getting in a Tiktok loop of body transformations set to this song while I was really getting into working with weights. It was great inspiration that I DEARLY needed that early into things. The song is also incredibly catchy.
viii. six || six cast
we're one of a kind, no category
too many years lost in his story
I honestly feel like we saw this musical last year but this song in particular dogged me into this one.
ix. fairytale || joel sunny
*instrumental*
Found this instrumental version of a much beloved song due to a random discover weekly and loved it so much that I seriously considered using it in my wedding.
x. middle of the night || elley duhe
Come, lay me down
'Cause you know this
'Cause you know this sound
Shh, it's the horny booktok song. I won't be shamed.
xi. our light || lyn
夢を夢と気づいた夜 君を見つめ瞼を閉じる
温もりも重ねた手も声も 目覚めれば微睡みへと消えて
I have been trying to finish persona 5 royal since 2020. this year, i finally beat it.
xii. it's terror time again || sesamoid
Oh, you just might die of fright,
It's a terrifying time.
Yes, it's a Scooby Doo remix. yes, I love it.
xiii. eat your young || hozier
I'm starving, darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
The horniest Hozier song since Take Me to Church in my humble opinion. I adored it immediately.
xiv. step into darkness || dubkiller
Blood on your hands, maybe you're dreaming?
Do you believe, nightmares you're seeing?
Tiktok?
xv. got you || ga eun
Will you promise you’ll rescue me
Take me from eternal loneliness
This was the theme song (I think?) to a Korean drama we were obsessed with for a little bit and I don't think we ever finished? Song is interesting though and sticks with you.
xvi. just a man || jorge rivera-herrans
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?
More Epic, because I am a mythology loving twelve year old at heart. The many, MANY tiktoks to this particular song did not help.
xvii. labour || paris paloma
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
It's catchy. I had more typed out but tumblr fucking ate it, so fuck it.
xviii. the tornado || owl city
A little rain never hurt no one, so I kept pressin' on
And I tried to tell myself it's always darkest before the dawn
Another song I played very loudly while driving home.
xix. green green grass || george ezra
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Dancy song!
xx. suzume || radwimps
ル・ル・ルルルルル・ルルル・ルルルルルル
ル・ル・ルルルルル・ルルル・ルルルルルル
We saw this in theaters! I really loved it!
xxi. can't take my eyes off you || boys town gang
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
The Tiktok dances got me. More serotonin when I really needed it.
xxii. survive || jorge rivera-herrans
Six hundred lives I'll take
Six hundred lives I'll break
And when I kill you, then my deed is over
More Epic!
xxiii. mermaids || florence & the machine
You only get one night upon the shore
So dance like you've never danced before
I love Florence. That is all.
xxiv. unknown / nth || hozier
You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Hozier was honestly the artist that kept me the most company this year if I'm not counting Spiritfarer or Hollow Knight.
xxv. we didn't start the fire || fall out boy
Mars rover, Avatar, self-driving electric cars
SSRI's, Prince and The Queen die
World trade, second plane, what else do I have to say?
I know it won't happen, but I hope every generation does a remake/remix of this song. Also, I saw Billy Joel himself in concert this year!
xxvi. hold me like a grudge || fall out boy
Hold me, hold me like a grudge
The world is always spinning, and I can't keep up, whoa
Honestly, I was a fan.
xxvii. where is the justice || death note cast
isn't everybody sick to death of all this stuff
can't we all stand up and say enough?
This song gets stuck in my head like no one's business.
xxviii. 30/90 || tick tick boom cast
making choices, wicked witches
poppy fields, or men behind the curtain
tiger lilies, ruby slippers
clock is ticking, that's for certain
I still think that if Stranger Things did a musical episode Steve Harrington would have Andrew Garfield from Tick Tick Boom energy.
xxix. everyday || buddy holly
Every day seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Good Omens 2 dropped! I loved it! I also didn't love it! But mostly I was just happy.
xxx. i'm just ken || ryan gosling
I wanna know what's like to love, to be the real thing
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings?
And is my moment finally here, or am I dreaming?
I went to see this movie by myself because I was sick of waiting for someone to go with me and honestly had a great time. It was silly and fun and I loved the fact that so many dudes got so incredibly butt-hurt about it.
xxxi. what was i made for || billie eilish
'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
God, this song. It made me cry at the end of Barbie and I've been getting up in my feelings about it ever since.
xxxii. speechless — naomi scott
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Apparently this is from the Aladdin live action? I haven't seen it so I can't confirm, but I DID hear this song this summer and fall in love with it.
xxxiii. son of nyx || hozier
*instrumental*
This one might be my favorite?
xxxiv. damage gets done || hozier
And, darling, I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feeling ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done
Another Hozier!!!!!!
xxxv. paradise valley || honey and the sting
Take what you want from me
I bring it willingly
I may have done these next three out of order, but hey! I got married this year! As some of you may know, paradise valley has been the song that I have been obsessed with since I first heard it on Wolf 359 back in 2018/2019. I couldn't figure out a way to make it work in a traditional sense for the wedding, so I ended up using it as a private last dance. As the clock was hitting ten o'clock we had our dj gently shoo the stragglers out the door and just crooned this to each other in the dark. It was probably my favorite part of the entire night.
xxxvi. stand by me || florence & the machine
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
This was our first dance. As it should be. We timed our few spins around the 'darlins' and it honestly went great. 10 out of 10, would dance again.
xxxvii. my prayer || the platters
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
I did a sneaky thing. It was Nick's grandparents 65th wedding anniversary a few days before our wedding, so I quietly found out "their song" and had our DJ play it as the first official couples/slow dance of the night after wishing them a happy anniversary. They cried. I cried. The photographer cried. It was great.
xxxviii. baby don't hurt me || david guetta
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Yeah, it's just a catchy cover.
xxxix. quietly yours || birdy
I've always been yours
Only yours
This was from the Persuasion soundtrack and god, it's just so achingly haunting.
xl. someone to you || banners
I don't wanna die or fade away
I just wanna be someone
Well, doesn't everyone?
Look. I just wanna be someone.
xli. one more time — blink 182
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
I don't wanna wait to do this one more time
One more time. I got tickets to their concert next year. We'll see if they cancel this one.
xlii. adelaide || ramblewood
Wish you could lay those shadows down
And find your way back home
I think this is a local artist? I fell in love with the song though.
xliii. i'm just your problem || lur
Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess
Is that what you want me to do?
Watched Fionna and Cake in like a day and a half and fell all the way back in love with Bonnie and Marceline.
xliv. you're gonna be okay || ashh blackwood
puff out your chest, take a deep breath
you're gonna be okay
This showed up on an anxiety mix and now I literally sing it to myself if I'm having a fast day. It is VERY short, but impactful.
xlv. mr lonely || angel olsen
Now, I am a soldier
A lonely soldier
Away from home
Through no wish of my own
My Yuletide fic that has not yet been revealed was about [REDACTED]. I listened to this and a handful of other sad, lonely songs while writing it.
xlvi. now and then || the beatles
Oh, now and then
I want you to be there for me
This song has DEVASTATED me since it came out. I will not be the same again.
xlvii. vois sur ton chemin || bennett
Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés, égarés
Another tiktok ear worm. I'm not much for techno, but I love this one.
xlviii. history is now || natalie holt
*instrumental*
Loki fucked me all the way up, guys. I know everyone is crying about it, and I'm crying too! It's beautiful and tragic and one of the most fantastic endings for a character arc that I have EVER seen out of Marvel. I HOPE they leave it alone. I hope they leave it as is so we get to keep the beautiful ending and they don't fuck it up.
xlix. purpose is glorious || natalie holt
*instrumental*
Again, fucked me ALL the way up. I wept. And watched it three times in a row. These two songs will be on my writing playlist for the rest of time.
l. the power || borislav slavov
I found you too soon
Shining star of mine, hold tight
Don't fight the power
I have not officially finished Baldur's Gate. However, every iteration of this song is haunting me.

Mid-Year Book Freakout 2023
Tagged by @violaeade, thanks Sabrina!
1. Best book you’ve read so far this year
Aaaahh that's so hard, I've had a really good reading year. I finally read She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan and it really blew me away–the characters! the tension! the narrative foils! the revenge! the ambition! the complicated queerness! I absolutely tore through it even though I was busy with school and walked around thinking about the ending for weeks. I can't wait for the sequel this August and also I am terrified to see what will come.
2. Best sequel you’ve read so far this year
THE THOUSAND EYES BY A.K. LARKWOOD!! Fucking fantastic sequel, took some incredible risks that really paid off and did some amazing things with the characters. Caused me exquisite agony in the best ways possible. Shuthmili's character arc in that book lives in my head RENT free.
3. New release you haven’t read yet
I'm hoping to read A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon this summer (it is so long but I am so excited for more dragons and lesbians). Also, When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb because I love their short fiction!
4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid (gothic YA fantasy about Welsh mythology and a creepy seaside manor) sounds exactly like my kind of book and I'm quite excited for it.
5. Biggest disappointment
Probably The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas. I've gotten really into gothic literature lately and I was super excited at the idea of a postcolonial gothic set in 1800s Mexico but it just felt kind of like a middling mash-up of Rebecca and Mexican Gothic. Subpar gothic atmosphere, some nonsensical plot points, boring romance, standard prose. Alas!
6. Biggest surprise
I read Little Blue Encyclopedia (For Vivian) by Hazel Jane Plante on kind of a whim because the idea of a novel told in the form of an encyclopedia entry for a fictional TV show sounded interesting (I love stories that experiment with form) and it turned out to be an incredible exploration of grief and friendship and trans community that packed a lot of nuance and emotion into a very short work.
7. Favorite new author (debut or new to you)
Ava Reid! Her debut novel, The Wolf and the Woodsman, was a personally kinda underwhelming to me, but their second novel, Juniper and Thorn, was an incredible gothic fantasy exploration of abuse and I think she really found her authorial voice through it. Super excited for their YA debut coming out this fall, it sounds very up my alley. Also, having read Andrew Joseph White's debut novel Hell Followed With Us, I am absolutely keeping an eye out for his future works.
8. Newest fictional crush/newest favorite character
I'm reading Spindrift by Anna Burke right now and Morgan Donovan I am free to hang out on Thursday when I am free to hang out…
Also, Heather After from G. Willow Wilson's Sandman spin-off comic The Dreaming: The Waking Hours is incredible (trans anarchist sorceress) and I love her.
9. Book that made you cry
I don't really cry over books, but Among Others by Jo Walton made me so unbearably sad as someone who has a twin sister (though I do have some problems with that novel).
10. Book that made you happy
I read Highly Suspicious & Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert because I enjoyed her adult romance novels and thought it was adorable, absolutely top-notch YA rom-com. (Also, I relate to Brad so much considering he is a teenage boy jock named Brad.)
Tagging uhhhh oh god @kazz-brekker @acewizard @shirleyjacksons @displayheartcode and any other book-inclined people who see this and want to answer? (i'm very bad at remembering mutuals off the top of my head, sorry!)

"Not far from the royal castle of Scotland was the royal golf course."

Cues him still trying to make the best of it after her funeral no matter how he is depressed for being there for their baby who will hatch soon and trying to reason his father-in-law, with whom he always had a bad relationship, over how this id not the egg's fault and his daughter would want him to be a good grandfather to it, he who is way too angry and grieving to think righr and blames him for having made her gravid despite her being of such fragile health from birth
"King Allfire was nervous."
1. Is It Hot in There
My first ever Blazing Dragons fic and nsfw fic with a not very good English and cringe descriptions lmao takes place during the episode Ice Try which is the only episode during which Sir Blaze and Sir Burnevere don't appear because they were gone on a quest together, so I filled the blank by having them act upon their lounging growing feelings for each other now they finally are alone together on a dumb quest Queen Griddle sent them to for her own ego as usual and act on it at least, quite passionately so and then decide to be secretly dating
""The Diamond of Destiny ! Exactly !""

missed SNL opportunity when Heathers was at peak cult popularity:
4 Chris’s as the Heathers
Hemsworth = Chandler (L’Oréal hair, would make you root for the bitch)
Pratt = Duke (most wannabe Chris, always trying to prove he belongs)
Evans = McNamara (sensitive, would actually connect with McNamaras mental health issues tbh)
Pine = Veronica. (the one who escaped the MCU.)
and it doesn’t count unless they’re all wearing kilts + argyle + up to their ears in shoulder padded power blazers

Hi, I’m very not used to making posts on tumblr so do forgive me, ’S a bit of a mess but yk B)
This is actually cool, I’m having fun, having my tumblr era 6 years too late wheyo !!!
Thank you for tagging me @ghostradiodylan hehe, you’re really cool :D <3
1. Three Ships: Sadly, I’m not really a shipper. Like, yes of course, live laugh Rylan. My tiny blorbos yk, my lovelies. My memory really doesn’t want to cooperate with me right now but I don’t think I’ve ever in the time of ever been as keen on a ship. God, I just remembered I used to love Raine and Eda from the Owl House, so much. They are so cute still but the hyperfixation has left the dock. Also all love to my fellow platonic-shipping people, cause that’s usually where I go. Right now I’m obsessing the hell out of The Magnus Archives, hehe, and Tim Stoker literally has my heart. Him and (platonically) literally every other character, I will die for. Especially Sasha, love them. God, I’m ranting sorry <3
2. First ship: I remember this, truly horrifying (/j) My first ship was definitely Remus Lupin and Sirius Black from HP, how could I not. Two tragic sad old gays, what’s not to love?? (Except for the author, fuck rowling all the way to hell!!) Either that or the ice princess from Sharkboy and Lavagirl and then Lavagirl, there’s something about that movie that tickles my brain (spoiler alert, it’s the autism)
3. Last Song: I’m the putting-songs-on-loop kinda person and I’ve had the Heathers soundtrack on all day, god, but beside that it’s November by Sparkbird, very good :D
4. Last Film: Okay, so me and my friends recently rewatched the first Frozen but I’ve been trying to find the time to watch Fear Street part one :”)
5. Currently Reading: So, in my litterary class we’re reading ”Mister Pip” by Lloyd Jones, it’s very interesting and insightful, really good but it’s not what I usually go for. I’ve also just bought ”The first one to die” so I’m ready to be devestated B)
6. Currently Watching: It’s a lot with studies right now so I don’t really have the time to get obsessed and binge a new series </3
7. Currently consuming: I’ve made it so far in life before relying on caffeine but I’m sad to say that it has finally taken me, mostly in the form of energy drinks. I’ve not gotten over my distaste for coffee, which I’d argue is good for my bank account B)
8. Currently Craving: A hyperfixation where all my sillies don’t die tragic, gruesome deaths would be nice. But, cherry tomatoes, I think. They’re really good <3
Mm, I don’t really have anyone to tag but yes, hope I’m not too rambly :D <3

the songs that remind u of them<
not rlly a rant
btw every paragraph is talking ab someone new
RATING MY SONGS-CRUSHES
we all know conan gray right? ok great. well yk that one song “the cut that always bleeds”? or “heather”? those 2 songs remind me of my first ever crush from last year. who I changed myself to try and make like me, this crush only lasted for about 2-3 weeks and I ended up being rejected bc he had a girlfriend I didn’t know about. those songs remind me of him because I used to listen to them the 3 times I cried about him. it wasn’t a bad crush but I definitely needed to work on my standards. 3/10.
okay next is money by the drums and afraid by the neighborhood. those 2 songs were songs I’d listen to as i think about him while I was in art class. this dude was fine and funny and taller then me and all of that. problem is: i BARELY knew him. so I confessed by having my friend text him on discord and do it FOR ME (i was too pussy to do it). then it got awkward between us. fast foreword a year and last semester i had pe with him. since he was friends with one of my close friends i got to talk to him and we slowly became ‘friends’. i gained a crush on him again and since then I still do JSSKSKSK. this dude used to chase me in pe and throw dodgeballs at me and make me laugh and stuff so I DEF HAD A REASON. he made me smile and all of that cheesy romance stuff… i HAVENT seen him in like 6 months due to me doing online school now………. i still habe a crush on him. 8/10
okay these songs are first love/late spring and francis forever and bag of bones by mitski. last year I was SUCH A BIG mitski fan it’s actually crazy. okay so me and this dude were in a class together around the end of last year and we actually became best friends! me and him would text on the daily and all of that and we use to ft and make fun of each other and all of that and it was honestly such a good friendship (we had a pet rock together. we used to play fight in the class and I would send him outfits for me to wear out places and he’d help me choose and all of that). i had a crush on him since before the friendship started and so I gained a BIG FAT crush on this dude and it didn’t go away. so fast foreword like 2 months and he tells me he has a crush on my friend! (It was not good I cried for like a week listening to mitski the whole time). and so we went through all of that normal “omg DONT b a pussy and confess to her!” (while i stay quiet ab my crush ab him 💀). and then after like 2 more months I tell him and I’m like “hey i just want to lyk i have a crush on u and IK u aren’t looking for a relationship and I’m not either but I just want to let u know so it doesn’t get in the way of our friendship and I hope u see me the same”. he didn’t really care and we stayed friends. THEN AFTER LIKE A MONTH HE STARTED ACTING ALL WEIRD LIKE “goodnight 💗” AND LET ME SLEEP ON HIS SHOULDER ON THE BUS AND LIKE DID ALL THIS STUFF THAT MADE ME THINK HE LIKED ME (told me how pretty i was, send me hearts, hearts next to my contact name and so on.). this goes on until I find out he does it to like 4 other girls. I CRIED SO HARD U DONT UNDERSTAND. and so after thwt he gets kinda distant and I’m still trying to salvage our friendship and he keeps getting more and more distant until the new school year starts. OKAY SO NEW YEAR NEW ME NEW CRUSH RIGHT? no. WRONG! i still had a crush on this dude after like 6 and a half months and it just keeps going. so me and him keep talking (him kinda being distant but kinda back to normal) and then he starts getting HELLA distant. so then after that I go to my schools fb game and he happens to be there. this dude acts like he doesn’t know who i am until i pull out my bag of chips and I’m sharing with people. so after this I’m still trying to get his attention so I air smack him and turns out. THUS DUMB HOE DOESNT FLINCH. so I ended up smacking him REAL hard right in the face and breaking his glasses. (this happens again like 2 minutes after the first time…) and so he knows I was sorry and joking and I gave my bag of chips and fixed his glasses (they weren’t super broken like u could pop them back into place) and we r good. until he goes back to acting like i don’t exist. that right there was the moment I realized I have lost feelings for this dude so I leave the game and I go home right and all is good. until like a whole semester later and it’s been like months since I didn’t like him anymore and all of that. and so after I go online and I get grounded for 6 months I get on my snapchat and I go onto this groupchwr I’m in with him and I say “hi everyone” and all of that and everyone says hi and then they decide to prank me and say “oh btw _____(him) is dating ______(my friend he used to like)” and I’m like “omg congrats for u guys” yada yada yada and then after an hour (I still believe it bc nb told me it was a joke) I start CRYING AB IT. and I’m so confused I’m like ‘why am I crying I don’t even like him?’ and then I vent to my cousin and she’s like “u still like him ur just not admitting it and that’s why ur sad” and I just keep denying it and everything. then in the end I throw away my feelings and replace them with hate and dislike and now I FR don’t fw him and I don’t like him and I don’t even want to breathe in his direction. this crush was a 2/10 because although I cried most of it and I was sad like the whole time we still had some good times and we still had those fun days and stuff and I don’t want those to go to waste so 2/10. (he didn’t go to my school this year btw)
(IK 99% of u mfs didn’t read half of that LMFAOSOAOSO)
okok next is poco loco from coco. ur ab to call me a homie hopper but… this dude is the last dudes best friend. okay basically I had a crush on him the mid-end of first semester bc he was just so… perfect? okay so me and this dude were kinda friends. we were in the same gc together and alla that so we talked. this dude was tall and nice to look at and funny and goofy. LITERALLY MY TYPE. so I had a crush on him and we slowly became more friends ever since my friend (a dif friend) broke up w him… so me and him are friends and nothing really happens between us tbh.. poco loco reminds me of him bc he’s a spanish speaker and he would like send me the lyrics of it sometimes and he would just b making fun of it and stuff. we also played a lot of imsg games… 4/10
UM THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF RN TBH… IK MOST OF U GUYS DIDNT MAKE IT TO THE END SO IF UR HERE ILY 😘
#runa talks#holy shit this is long#uhhhh what do i tag this#my crushes in a nutshell#the third one was actually much worse but that’s me with a “long story short”…#IK U MFS DIDNT READ THE THIRD ONE..

Hi! Idril and Celebrimbor for the ask game pls! :D
hi heather thank u so much 🫶❤️‼️‼️
Idril 💙
Sexuality Headcanon: sexuality as well as gender are so hard for me to define for almost any middle-earth character!! elves and dwarves especially! ive never really thought about idrils sexuality before but maybe bi…she has all the swag :)
Gender Headcanon: elf gender… elf gender!!! what is if even!! how does gender even matter if youre 7000 years old and youve been married for 4000 years. immortality seems to eventually remove most cultural need for gender / gender presentation doesnt it? and then what does it mean for idril (young!!) who married a human!! very fascinating. ive never thought more about this but shes more girl than other elves probably. just from the vibes
A ship I have with said character: i love her and tuor. and then both of them with voronwe!! i think she and voronwe could have a really interesting and sweet relationship! also, real quick abt voronwe, extremely gender of him to have a traditionally feminine name ending!!!!!
A BROTP I have with said character: she and glorfindel could be great friends aka her favorite babysitter growing up 🥺
A NOTP I have with said character: her and maeglin :/
A random headcanon: i love the headcanon of taking the silverfoot meaning of her name literally!! idril with prosthetics my beloved <3 shes also really great at strategy based boardgames (think similar to chess and the like) and can beat her grandpa 8/10 times!! also her short hair after her mothers passing 🥺
General Opinion over said character: i really really like her! shes so smart and endured so much in just her first few years of life… im happy she got away from the tragedy that shouldve gotten to her as an elf in love with a mortal ❤️ shes special to meee‼️
Celebrimbor 💚
Sexuality Headcanon: one of the few characters where i can pin it down actually. hes gay! 🎉
Gender Headcanon: hmm his gender is jewelsmith 💎
A ship I have with said character: i like him and narviiii 🥺 i am always weak for dwarf x elf relationships
A BROTP I have with said character: just in general i think the concept of him being born in beleriand + gil galad being born late in the first age + elrond all being pretty young and all being the sort of leading figures of the second age noldor is really funny. teenage government… though i like how rings of power have made him elronds weird uncle thats really funny :)
A NOTP I have with said character: difficult. i think silvergifting can be interesting if done right but its so evil and toxic and bad for celebrimbor i just sorta dont want him there. get out bestie!!!!
A random headcanon: narvi pierced his nose bridge. it looks very cool. and an evil one because im thinking about narvi still: sauron tried his best to shapeshift into narvi when celebrimbor was taken captive, for pain and torture reasons but he could never quite get it right. first the eyes. then the piercings were on the wrong side. no the hair was never that neatly brushed. the eyebrows are too thin right there. it drove sauron crazy so he eventually stopped trying and celebrimbor held onto that little victory all the way to mandos.
General Opinion over said character: i dont think about him enough! hes fascinating really

Back when I was a Librarian, we lived and breathed by the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller List. It was my responsibility to print or photocopy the list every week and update our bestseller's display. (Also to purchase extra copies of particularly popular bestsellers.)
I haven't looked at the list in YEARS. Some of these surprise me:
A new translation of The Iliad made the list?!
Ken Follett is still alive?? (I looked him up, he's only 74.)
Danielle Steel is still alive?? ( I just looked her up, she's only 76 and has been married five(!) times. To be fair, I also looked up Ken Follett, he's only been married twice.)
I see some Christmas-themed books on the list!
I see a Disney manga! (“The Battle for Pumpkin King”)
