If there was one place Thad was unfamiliar with it was Bludhaven, which was why the speedster had been speedily stalking through the streets, taking notes on the layout of the city. He didn't have many connections in the city villainous or otherwise. Sure, he knew Deathstroke had some sort of rivalry with the city's very own hero, but he wasn't a contact the speedster was planning on getting in touch with any time soon.

This was just a reconnaissance mission of sorts, or at least it was supposed to be as he turned around and let out a surprised yelp as he spots someone in the dark.

"Grife." He utters out, "Don't you birds know how to make any noise? Or do you guys just enjoy sneak up on people?" He says indignantly, almost as if he wasn't the villain between the two of them planning to stir up trouble in the city.

Phantasmagoria -- WARNINGS

It's almost ready.

I estimate Part One will be uploaded sometime tomorrow, if edits/reviews take about as long as I believe they will.

That said, I wanted to post warnings for the entirety of Phantasmagoria well in advance so that people are properly aware of what this story entails.

Phantasmagoria is my most adult-centered work to date. Not only is it sexually explicit in all three parts, but it deals heavily with drug and alcohol abuse as each character struggles to cope with their own problems in some way.

First and foremost, I do want to promise that there is a happy ending to this story. I've said in an earlier post that the epilogue to Phantasmagoria might be one of my favorites that I've written to date, and you can rest assured that it is a very happy and wholesome ending.

Now, onto the warnings. Sanemi and Reader are 20 years old for the main part of the story, but their fallout happened when they were around 18. There are flashbacks to various points in the pair's childhood, and I try to signal about how old they are in each flashback for your reference.

For the recurring warnings, there is explicit sexual content ahead, as well as repeated instances of drug and alcohol abuse. Not once do Sanemi and Reader wrap it, but Reader is on birth control.

For the other warnings, Phantasmagoria features the following, potentially triggering content, in the following parts:

-Reader does not tell Sanemi it's her first time when they first sleep together, and that might be seen as dubious consent by some (part one)

- reader has a bad trip and later an anxiety/panic attack (part 2)

-implied attempted S/A that occurs off-page, but a mention of an injury being texted around is briefly described (part 2)

-explicit violence between characters (part 2 -- Sanemi beats the fuck out of Douma). Sanemi is briefly handcuffed but released pretty quickly.

-One character OD's and is rushed to the ER (not the reader) in part 3

Generally, just be aware there is a lot of angst in this, but also a lot of feelings and emotions as well.

Now, just to make a few points about part one:

Part One reads differently than the other two parts, and that's intentional. For starters, there is a nearly two-year time skip where the Reader sort of covers everything that's happened up until the present day of the story. Second, for most of part one, Reader is under the influence, and thus, the story reads like she is.

Parts Two and Three will involve the fallout/consequences of the group's abuse of Wisteria and the club scene, and will feature a lot more angst, smut, and tension between the Reader and Sanemi. Part two will also feature the first POV change to Kyojuro near the end. Part Three will finally feature Sanemi's POV, and the title of Phantasmagoria will make a lot more sense.

That's all my COVID-addled brain can think of right now. I'm going back to editing/finishing up part one. I hope you all enjoy it.

Happy reading!

-Peach

13, 16 and 40 for the writer asks?

thanks ollie!!

13: what’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

god this is a boring answer but. "show, don't tell." it's like the one thing i actually consciously think about when i write (well, more so when i edit tbf but same dif). in the past 3-4 years i've gotten really good at learning to be concise in my writing and i do think this my being comfortable with conveying emotions and such through small actions without a need to justify my choice in the writing is what's led to that!

16: how many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? share one of them?

oh god LOL so many. the big au ideas in my brain right now are the starter mew au and the orre au. i think i recently shared a bit about the orre au (though i'd be so happy to share more if anyone asked me about it!), so i'll share a bit about the starter mew au instead!

basically way back in december @jaystrifes sent me this ask, which festered in my brain and has grown into a whole jn rewrite (that currently remains just plotted...but one day i'll have the time to write it. i hope dhjfghjd). it doesn't go exactly as i said in the ask - i've had time to sit with the idea since then and some of my thoughts have changed a bit - but the basic premise is still the same. this idea of like...mew feeding off of goh's twisted sense of self. what to him is evidence of his capability is to mew a fun little game, and it's making all the rules. i've spent all the time i've been plotting it working out like...ok, so what is the goal of project mew? how does goh fit into it? how does gary fit into it? and the other side of like - ok, so what's the connection between the mewtwo we see in the genesect movie and giovanni's mewtwo? what does that imply about team rocket's research on mew and their attempts at cloning it? goh and ash also met mewtwo in jn - and it didn't wipe their memories or anything, which suggests it respected them enough not to, even after goh insulted it by insinuating battling it was only worth it to get data on mew. there's just a lot of potential with mewtwo and mew that's not really fully explored in jn, so i wanted to dig into that a bit - at the same time as diving into this version of goh who is even more isolated than in canon and who's not just a victim of parental neglect but also of this psychological dependency on mew. his relationship with ash in particular has been fun to analyze. in my mock-up ao3 draft i said that "ash has aura powers and contrarily goh is more of a self-proclaimed empath" so that's...pretty much their dynamic in a nutshell LMAO.

anyway! i titled the au progeny and do have a tag for it, so i'm sure i'll start throwing more things in there once i actually start writing the thing lol

40: if someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

i answered this one here but you know what? i'll also say again about this year's christmas fic i'd love to see art of the boys in their matching christmas sweaters LOL. i can only imagine the abject horror on goh's face lmaoooo

get to know your fic writer!

star wars: kotor ii   ∕   sentence starters ( squadmates, vol. i ) dialogue taken from various squadmates from the 2004 rpg star wars: knights of the old republic ii: the sith lords. lightly edited for clarity.

claws out today, aren't they?

mostly, i was angry. angry about what i had done, about why i had done it.

all i wanted to do was send a message, but i couldn't even do that right.

it's hard to face up to yourself, sometimes.

hey, just kidding. i'm happy to have you around.

if you were me, you'd probably want to joke about it, too.

the loss of control blinded me, turned me into a weapon.

it's what happens after the wars are over that you don't hear much about.

you know, i'm glad i found you again.

i've killed people before. but not if i don't have to.

i thought i could make a difference, but it was taken away from me.

yeah, well, they're dead. that's how the story ends.

it's not the sort of thing that you just stop being.

i don't want to keep running, and looking, and never feel like i'm finding what i'm looking for.

my anger is nothing compared to the blood on my hands.

you have to let the place grow on you... like a fungus.

maybe that's just the shield i need to stay sane.

i've thought about that moment. a lot. and wondered if i would do things differently if i had another chance.

maybe, just maybe, by finding them, i can start putting things back together.

that kind of thing stays with you - i haven't forgotten it.

i doubt you're going to show me anything i don't already know.

you might not be looking, but maybe it'll happen along the way.

i'd rather die than be caught by you again.

run away? you're the one who couldn't handle me.

he's a hunter, a natural predator.

it's better you hear it from me than some stranger.

whatever, don't worry about it. it's just a sore subject with me.

no, you're not leaving until we've talked about this.

i didn't kill him once. biggest mistake ever.

well, for one thing, you're going to stay here.

i'm not going to step down from a challenge like that.

everything's... everything's too quiet.

i thought i'd seen a lot, but you look like you're a hundred inside.

why did you decide to fight?

that's what i want. i'm sure of it, more than anything.

you continue to amaze me.

i don't even know why i'm telling you this.

i don't think you get it. they're not going to come after you.

i still i feel like i need to do something, to make up for it.

maybe i would have been someone different… someone weaker.

i want the power to let go... and i want the power to heal the echo when it's gone.

he wants to break them, ruin them, and when they can't suffer anymore, he wants them dead.

it's only fair. i owe you more than one.

apathy is death.

there was enough senseless death back then to last a lifetime.

do you really want to hear this?

you have to get away from her. she'll destroy you.

how you could ever possibly hope to understand is beyond me.

you're not getting anything else out of me.

just ignore him and let's get to work.

if you don't want to talk about it, i won't press you.

[imgoingtocrash]

Hello there! It's your Rebelcaptain Secret Santa :) Hope you had a wonderfull week and that you have something great planned for the weekend. I'm probably around 1/3 into writing your gift, and I was just wondering: is there anything you absolutely DON'T want to see, any tropes that give you the ick, any characters you avoid? Also, on a completely different note: if you were to choose your top 3 favourite rebelcaptain fics, what would those be?

Oh hello!!! It's been a busy work week but that means money sooo we're going with it lol.

As for anything I don't want to see, I don't think there's anything?? I feel like my prompts were pretty vanilla so I can't imagine anything particularly shocking or appalling that you could do that would make me not want to read something. (And I love angst, so anything darker there is always encouraged rather than discouraged lmaooo)

Now asking me for my favorite fics on the other hand...I'm notorious for making detailed fic rec lists. That's dangerous.

For now, I'll do 3 all time favorites of MANY more, and 3 more recent reads (though some of them are older, because I'm back in the tag rn)

Top 3 All Time Favorites:

cassian andor nonsense + assorted nonsense timestamps by theputterer

I love this series. It's Cassian centric at first, and then it's about their relationship in the context of their pasts and I am just!!! Overflowed with love for it all of the time. I binged it when I first read it, and there are some oneshots in the verse that I come back to and re-read when I'm in a mood. (Blood Brothers, where Jyn gets to meet Cassian's Imperial brother, is a weird favorite, but I think I've re-read it like 4 times. I love that sort of 3rd person POV on a ship I just DO.)

only fools rush in by andromeda3116

I re-read this fic almost every holiday season, that's how much I love it. Fake dating trope, holiday vibes, bickering but well-meaning family that learns to come together. It's catnip to me.

Color My Cheeks by Copper_Nails (Her_Madjesty)

Another older but beloved favorite that I've re-read multiple times. One of the first fics I ever read in the fandom, and I think one of the first sex pollen fics I'd ever read. It's not just trope-y sexy fun, but the fact that it goes into the AFTER of a sex pollen event and what that means for them emotionally feels so unique and interesting. Now I'm thinking about re-reading it again. Sigh.

Definitely could give you more all-time favorite recs, but here are some more recent fics I've read:

Lost and Found by mosylu

As of today, just completed, and WOW what a journey! I left rambling, crazy comments on this fic almost every week for good reason. It was sweet, it was angsty, it was just!!!! Amazing. I'm probably going to come back to this one again down the road for sure.

Delivery Week by SleepyKalena

I've read quite a few Film/Production based fanfics over the years, but this one is for us post girlies!!! An edit bay meet-cute, bitching about color correcting/matching--truly this fic has it all and feels tailor-made to me as an editor, even if it's at an animation studio rather than live action.

spy games by skitzofreak

I'm basically reading through all of their star wars fics right now, so highly highly recommend this author as a whole. (The fact that I've apparently left kudos on some of them before and don't remember it at all is...funny.) This one is just a great, cute starter where Cassian and Jyn have an entire silent conversation in front of a bunch of recruits. So good.

Your asks remind me to send asks to MY giftee, so I'm so happy to hear from you each week! Have a wonderful week and good vibes to your writing progress! 💖

#rebelcaptain #star wars #fic recs #cassian x jyn #i have like. 5 years worth of fanfic recs for them and i'm in like 2018 in the tag for jollies rn i LOVE them and everyone writing for them #asks #anon

A ramble about life🧘, work🧑‍💻, writing🖋️ and everything else.

Hello!👋 I feel like it's been ages since I opened Tumblr. I've been meaning to answer all of your comments, but several things happened this week that literally changed everything in my life.🙃

For starters, I got covid. Not fun at all, experienced headaches and body aches that turned me into a potato, and now I'm almost out and back to full health...I just need to endure a sore body for two more days. ✌️😭

Also.... I was fired....? *Insert yoongi's iconic confused face*😐😂

Lmao it came as a shock to me too --to everyone in my department since we all got fired. It stranded a lot of us because the news came as a work email at 9 am when everyone was home bound dealing with covid. No one expected it because we had just come back from a successful work trip to acquire a new client for the company. Now looking back, I should have paid more attention because just last month, half of the HR department was fired👀 and if you're a victim of capitalism and a slave of the work force you know HR is the last to go, like they're untouchable when the company is purging their payroll. HR, the last standing soldier, the one that sees you off...welp. 🤦

I wanted to leave an angry rant here the moment it happened, but I needed to keep moving and not let the fear of an uncertain future drown me. I know I'm still young and there are a lot of opportunities out there (I would like to think that way) but in a world where the timeline of how your life should play out is set and everyone around you is following it you can't help but feel like a failure when these things happen. Like, I don't want to get married and have a child in two years, you know. And I don't want to be frowned upon if I don't have a job that makes six figures by the time I get married. Cause everyone around me is doing that. I want to enjoy life at my own pace, and maybe getting fired from this important office job is a sign to follow the creative path I always wanted...I don't know. I have a job interview in two hours, so I guess this is me nervous rambling. 😬🥴

I was also considering putting my writing hobby on a Hiatus, but immediately backtracked because I don't want this hobby of mine to be tainted by the pressures of adult life. So I'm still going to write the shit out of my imagination because like many of you have said, it is an escape from reality. Chapter 22 is fully drafted, I actually added more scenes because when I first read the draft it felt like it lacked some important scenes, so that's where I'm at with the next update. I hope to give you teasers this Wednesday and post this weekend.

Let me end this rambling with something that I want to tell you all that my dad actually tells me every time I'm stuck. Whatever you chose to do, don't think of it as something you have to do for the rest of your life. It sounds hard, and it is hard to make the decision to change career paths, but sometimes you just need that push towards what will eventually make you happy. So here I am telling you that even if we don't know each other, just know that I will cheer you on. Whatever change you're too scared to make but that you know it will make you ten times happier than what you're doing right now, picture me telling you to go for it. My dad always says to not be scared of failure because out of everything you can learn in life, Failure is the biggest learning lesson you can get.

With that in mind, let me go apply for jobs that I'm under qualified for while I figure out what in the hell I'm gonna do next. 🤔

Also, I'm gonna start editing past chapters of Days Since I Met You with the lovely Sybil @sybilinthehollow. It's just grammar and stuff, nothing of the plot will be changed. So you don't have to worry about reading back. Everything for a better reading experience! 😏🤣🤭

Without further ado, I'll go study for my job interview, and I'll maybe see you tonight as I write Chapter 22? 🤞✌️

The One Where Denki And Mina Think Katsuki Needs To Be A Softer, Nicer Boyfriend, And An Insecure Katsuki Agrees, But [Y/N] [L/N] Doesn't Want A Nicer Boyfriend, She Wants Him.

Requested By: @spicyhokage

Edited: 1-6-2021

It was late when Katsuki came in through class 2-A's dormitory doors. Being his second year at UA the school was allowing students to go back into student internships. With Best Jeanist still off the streets, Katsuki wound up interning with Fatgum, using the link between Eijirou and him to get in. Katsuki hadn't expected to be out for so long, there had been a bad villain that showed up at a different agency and it was a perfect match for both his and Fatgum's abilities. Fatgum had allowed Katsuki to work on it with him, nevermind the fact that Katsuki had already planned a study date for your upcoming test Monday, he jumped at the chance to work with the heroes.

Katsuki knew, or at least he hoped, that you wouldn't be that mad or upset at him for ditching you at the very last minute. It was a leg up in the hero industry, it was a helping hand, he could make more connections and improve his skills. As a student hero, you should know how important this is. He'd want you to make the same choice if it was reversed.

Despite abandoning your date, Katsuki wasn't heartless. He bought a bouquet of hydrangeas as an apology. Apologies weren't something he was good at, but he hoped you would accept it. Katsuki was hoping you would be up waiting for him in the dormitory lounge when he came back, but he knew that one was a longshot. He'd rather have you in bed resting, or making up for the studying he promised to help with but hadn't. Katsuki was hoping he'd find you in the dormitory lounge waiting for him, but instead, he found two of his peers.

"You were out awfully late, weren't you?"

"Shut it, pink face. I need to go see [Y/N] and then head to bed, like a smart student. You and dunce face do realize that we have a big test Monday, don't you?"

Katsuki marched right past Mina and Denki, who were sitting on the couch, towards the elevator to get up to your dorm. If he was right, Mr. Aizawa would be asleep by this hour, and getting into your dorm would be no issue. Katsuki stopped walking towards the elevator when he hears Minas' voice speak out again.

"Did you really get hydrangeas for her? You ditched her for your internship and you got hydrangeas? Girls like roses Katsuki. If a guy ever brought me hydrangeas, I'd kick his butt to the door. Queens deserve better."

"What the fuck are you implying raccoon eyes?"

Katsuki turned back around to yell at Mina for implying that he wasn't good enough for you. He nearly crumpled the flowers by clenching his hand. Mina didn't know what she was talking about. He had brought you hydrangeas several times before, you never complained about it. Denki spoke up to try and intervene Katsuki from blowing up on Mina.

"I think what Mina meant to say is that we're just worried for you. You really like [Y/N], right? Take it from a guy who gets dumped by girls a lot. Pretty girls like [Y/N] don't need to sit around waiting for guys like us. While you're trying to further your career you're ditching her, not to mention, when is the last time you showed her affection?"

"For starters, dunce face, don't call my girlfriend pretty. Secondly, there are no guys like us and girls like [Y/N], there's me, her, and all of you fucking extras that need to get out of my relationship."

"Fine, don't take our advice. Just so you know, [Y/N] isn't in her dorm, she's in the kitchen."

Mina practically sings her words out, and Katsuki changes his course of route from the elevator to the kitchen. He had a scowl on his face the entire time, courtesy of Mina and Denki. He had to restrain himself from beating them with the bouquet. Katsuki reached the kitchen door and he took a minute to recompose himself from his previous anger to a calmer version of himself. He pushed the door open with a calmer smile on his face but stops after opening it halfway.

"What's the answer to number two?"

"Uhm... 6?"

"That's right! Here's your reward."

Katsuki clenched his fist, practically ruining the flowers. He ditched you and your study date, he shouldn't be getting so mad at seeing you and Deku study together. You can have friends other than him. You can be around members of the male gender other than him. Even if it is shitty Deku. You're allowed to have a life outside of Katsuki, but as Deku broke apart a cookie and threw it right into your mouth, a sweet reward for getting the question right, he was ready to toss hands with the boy.

"We're gonna ace this test Monday. Thanks for studying with me Deku. I hate studying alone and you're great at math. Usually, Katsuki helps me, but he got busy."

"It's no problem, [Y/N]. Seriously, I'm always here if you need me."

Katsuki quietly pulled the door shut instead of going in and interrupting you and dumb Deku. Maybe Mina was right. Katsuki thought about it more as he walked back to Mina and Denki. He didn't really show you affection that much, and he did spend a lot of time in the gym or at his internship. His idea of a date was training together or studying. You probably hated the flowers but chose not to speak on it. If he didn't change, change now and fast he was going to lose you to that shit-munch. He needed to show you he was the better more deserving man. As Katsuki stared at Mina and Denki he uttered the words he never wanted to say to them.

"I want your fuckin' help."

"Bring [Y/N] roses. Girls love roses. Not a daffodil, not baby's breath, not a tulip. Roses."

Roses were Mina's first piece of advice to Katsuki. According to her, girls only cared about getting roses, and every other flower was inferior. She also said apology flowers must be paired with chocolates. Katsuki personally thought that was bullshit. He had been bringing you different breeds of flowers throughout your entire relationship and never once had you vocalized disdain for it. But Mina is a girl unlike him, so she must have had some kind of special insight. You must have just not wanted to make him feel bad for messing up. Katsuki knew he was inexperienced in the dating area, but he hadn't realized he was screwing up so badly.

Katsuki did exactly what Mina said. Saturday afternoon, Katsuki showed up at your dorm with a bouquet of yellow roses and a box of chocolates, the milk chocolate kind. According to Mina, milk chocolate was better than dark chocolate. He knocked on the door after checking his phone for the time. He knew you didn't like getting up early on the weekend, and you had been up late studying the night before. Twelve-thirty seemed like a reasonable time to stop by.

You opened the door, slippers on your feet, eyes barely opened, and a crinkled forehead as you tried to slightly open them to see who you were staring at. You had a pair of shorts on and one of Katsuki's sweatshirts. One you promised you hadn't seen and swore he must've lost in the dorms laundry facility. Katsuki smiled down at your sleepy form, you were adorable. Once you registered who it was you yawned and crossed your arms as you lazily leaned against the door frame and let a small smile cross your face.

"What're you doing here? You were out so late last night, you must be exhausted."

"I could say the same about you, you look like the epitome of tired. How late were you up?"

"No later than two. When did you get in?"

Katsuki didn't want to tell you he came in at midnight. You would've asked him why he didn't come to see you, and he didn't want to say that he saw you and Deku studying together. He didn't want to admit that he felt pained at seeing you together so close. Pained at you needing and using Deku as you would him. Katsuki held up the roses and chocolates and thrust them into your arms.

"I didn't even check the time. I brought you apology flowers and chocolate for ditching you. They're roses!"

"O-Oh, they're yellow."

You took the items he thrust into your arms and moved further into your dorm so he could come in. You set the chocolate down on the bed but kept observing the flowers. Katsuki was quite proud of the flowers he picked out. They were pretty and blooming, and he thought you'd like them. Yellow roses would look good in your dorm room. You, on the other hand, were not ecstatic with the flowers. You bit your lip and tried to make your smile bigger. Did he know what yellow roses symbolized? He had to of known, even Denki would know something this simple. Maybe you were reading into it too much, they're just flowers. It was a gift, not a death sentence to your relationship.

"I'll have to go to the kitchen and see if there's anything I can put them in."

Katsuki could sense you being standoffish. He assumed you were upset at him for ditching you the previous night. He did the flowers right, he would just have to go the extra mile to make you happy with him by serving your needs.

"I can go to the kitchen and find a vase! You just shower or get dressed, or whatever, and I'll even bring you up some lunch."

"You don't have to do that. I can get dressed and do it myself."

"I don't have to do it, I want to do it."

Katsuki cupped your cheeks and pressed a quick kiss against your lips. They were soft and sweet. Katsuki could taste the residue sugar from the cookies you had been eating the night before and he pulled back with a frown, making you frown just as much. He wasn't mad that you didn't brush your teeth, although you should have. He was upset at the reminder that Deku was with you when you were supposed to be having a study date. He was upset that Deku was the one who stayed up with you until two in the morning. He was upset that Deku was acting like a better boyfriend when he was just your friend and nothing more. Katsuki should've been doing more, he should've been doing a better job.

"I really am sorry for ditching you yesterday. If you want, we can redo the date today."

"I really missed you yesterday. I did some cramming with Deku, but I don't think he's as good of a teacher as you are."

"Of course dumb Deku isn't as good as me. I'll grab my books before I come back, we'll have a nice do-over date."

Hearing you say that Izuku wasn't as good as him made him feel good. It was slightly reassuring to Katsuki, yet he couldn't stop this budding feeling every time he thought about you and Izuku studying last night.  

"Buy her something nice. Something nice like jewelry. I always see you buying her practical stuff, that's boring. Girls like pretty shiny gifts from their boyfriends."

Mina's second piece of advice had been to buy you some jewelry. According to Mina jewelry was an acceptable gift for a boyfriend to buy his girlfriend. Katsuki had been buying you practical and weird gifts throughout your relationship. He thought they were good, he thought they were sweet and enjoyable. He supposed he was wrong. With every piece of advice from Mina, Katsuki was getting punched in the gut. He thought he was treating you right, he thought he was doing this whole relationship thing right, but he wasn't. If he didn't fix things fast then dumb Deku would steal you away from him.  

Katsuki felt inside of his pocket for the necklace he bought you. He had Mina help him pick it out that morning. It had been sitting there in a pretty little black box with a red bow waiting to be opened. He wanted to give it to you when he gave you the flowers, but he didn't want you to view it as an apology gift, he wanted it to be viewed as a sweet, 'I was thinking of you', gift.

By the time Katsuki had gotten back to your dorm room, you were all showered and dressed in fresh clothes. You were wearing comfortable clothes, and Katsuki had to smile again. You looked simply perfect. With your hair pushed back by a headband, sweatpants, and another one of his sweaters which you practically swam in, you looked angelic to him. Katsuki put a bag containing your lunch on the small table you had in your room, he placed the vase containing your new flowers there too before pulling out your lunch. You grabbed his book bag from him with a smile and began to pull his books out and place them alongside yours in a neatly organized fashion to create a nice study space.

"What'd you find for lunch?"

"There wasn't much in the fridge to quickly grab, so I made some curry."

"I love it when you cook. It always tastes good."

You smiled at Katsuki and placed a quick peck against his cheek before taking a seat next to him. His chest swelled with pride as he watched you freely dig into the container of food. You liked his cooking, and as he watched you feast in it he knew you weren't lying. At least he did one thing right on his own. One more wrong thing and he was sure he was going to blow a casket.

"Aren't you gonna eat?"

You stared at him with half-lidded eyes and spoke with your mouth half full, barely pronouncing your words but Katsuki still knew what you were saying. He stopped staring at you and began working on his own dish. Every once and a while Katsuki noticed your eyes go from your food to his face and then to the flowers before diving back to the food. He supposed you really liked them. It felt good knowing he was doing it right. It felt good knowing you were happy and content with him for the moment.

You wiped your face off and just as you were about to clean up your lunch mess Katsuki jumped up and took care of it. He grabbed your lunch containers and closed them before tossing them back into the bag he brought them in. He took a wet wipe and wiped up your table and then proceeded to toss the dirty wipe in the trash bin.

"Ready to study?"

"Yup! You're a really good teacher, I really look forward to our study dates."

You walked over to your bed and took a seat on the ground whereas Katsuki laid across your bed in a position where he could have a book out and also easily look over the edge to see what you were doing. This was how you always did your study dates. Katsuki would work and watch to see if you were slacking off, then you would switch books and quiz each other. Slowly the clock clicked away, each passing second made Katsuki grow antsy. He wanted to give you the stupid neckless he had inside his pocket. Katsuki huffed as he slammed his book shut and pushed it off of the bed. You craned your neck back to see what Kastuki was doing before narrowing your eyes, no way did he think he could stop studying while he made you work.

"What are you doing? Are you studying up there?"

"No, c'mere."

You huffed as you pulled yourself up off of the floor and crawled onto the bed next to Katsuki. A mixture of blankets and skin touched you as he wrapped his arms around your body and pulled you so your back was flush against his chest. He let his head rest inside your neck, and you struggled to pull out of his grip.

"What are you doing? We're supposed to be studying."

"I don't wanna study right now. The test is Monday, we can still study tomorrow."

You bit your lip as you contemplated his offer. He had a point. The test was Monday morning, and it was only Saturday, not to mention that you had studied with Deku yesterday. The offer was just so out of character for Katsuki, part of you wondered if it was a trick and thought he was going to pull out a piece of rolled-up newspaper to hit you with like he did for Eijirou. You let yourself sink into his arms, you had been up to this for a while, you deserved a break.

"Okay, but only a small break. got it?"

"Mm. I got you something."

Katsuki pulled away from your body to dig in his pocket and pull out the small black box. You rolled over so you could face him and your gift with a growing smile on your face. You loved Katsuki's gifts. Whether it was intentional or not, he always got you something you needed. Whether it was you complaining about cold hands or your lack of working pens, the next day you would find gloves and a pack of pens with a note from him saying something stupid, like 'You better use these to take your shitty notes' and 'If you get arthritis in your hands you can't become a hero'. It was always a surprise and a delight. Katsuki handed over the box and you tore the bow off before opening it.

"It's a necklace!"

"Oh, it's very cute."

You tried not to frown as you looked over the necklace. You tried you're best to put a beaming smile on your face. It was still a gift and you needed to show your gratitude. It wasn't as conventional as your other gifts, but it was still pretty. Maybe it had a special meaning? Maybe he saw it and thought of you? It was just so unusual. He never bought you jewelry and the style was obviously not his.

"Did you pick it out yourself?"

You tried not to make it sound like you were fishing for an explanation as you smiled and clasped it around your neck to show how much you 'loved' it. Katsuki contemplated telling you he picked it out himself but seeing as you were friends with Mina he wasn't sure what she'd say and he didn't want to look bad.

"Well, I got a little help. Figured a female's perspective wouldn't hurt."

Suddenly you felt sick to your stomach. Not only had he given you a necklace, an unconventional and unusual gift compared to the ones he usually gave, but he let a girl pick it out. There was no special meaning, it was just pretty. Your mind went back to the flowers. The yellow roses. He bought you yellow roses. Your whole relationship he brought different breeds and types, never roses. Especially not yellow, the color that represented friendship.

"Thank you, I love it!"

You wrapped your arms around Katsuki, bringing him into a big, tight hug. Although you were with him physically, mentally you were in other places. That dark place in the back of your head was telling you why he gave you these offhanded weird gifts. The dark place in the back of your head was filling you with untrue silly thoughts, yet you couldn't help but let your head entertain them and wonder. The more you wondered, the more you wanted to rip your neckless off.

mina

Pop music could be heard blaring loudly from a BlueTooth speaker connected to Mina's phone as you walked into her dorm room. Without knocking you barged right in, Mina supposed there really was a reason you and Katsuki were together. You were both bluntly rude and sometimes you didn't even realize it. You flopped down at the foot of her bed and looked up at her before greeting your pink friend.

"Hey."

"Hi."

Mina didn't look up from what she was doing, she continued flicking through the pages of some fashion-forward girly magazine as she replied to you. You ran your fingers through her soft duvet as you looked around her dorm room. It looked like Claires threw up on the walls and it gave you a major headache. You and Mina had two different style sets, two sets of style very far apart.

"Did you study for the test tomorrow?"

Unlike her room, that was a subject that would give Mina a headache. Mina roughly flipped another page of the magazine she was holding as she let out an exhausted breath.

"No, and before you scold me neither did Denki. I swear Katsuki is rubbing off on you."

At the sound of his name, your hand went up and touched the necklace he got for you. You only wore it in case you saw Katsuki today, you planned to wear it for the next two weeks, then you'd pretend you lost it. You weren't a necklace kind of person, and it wasn't even sentimental. Mina tossed her magazine down on the bed and a smile played on her face as she saw the necklace between your fingers.

"That's a cute necklace? Did Katsuki get it for you?"

"Yeah, he did."

You answer Mina's questions and inquiries as you let the gem on the necklace slip out of your fingers. You couldn't help but let your face slip into a frown. You couldn't help it, the more you thought about the necklace, the further you fell into dark thoughts. It wasn't even the fact that it wasn't sentimental like all of the other gifts he gave you, it was the fact he let some girl pick it out. You weren't a controlling person, not remotely. If Katsuki wanted female friends he could have them, he did have them. While he wouldn't call Mina a friend, she was. Mina was a girl you felt comfortable with, however, you had already had a girl in mind of who you thought helped him, a girl who wasn't Mina. A girl you didn't feel comfortable with, a girl you knew you shouldn't feel comfortable with.

"Well, it's very pretty, if I had a boyfriend who brought me gifts like that I'd be over the moon. So I take it things between you and Katsuki are good then?"

"I guess, um, I just... I think Katsuki is cheating on me."

You started off in a stutter before you bluntly spoke out your words. The moment your voice hits your ears you cringe at yourself and cross your arms. It was such a ridiculous thought. A horrendous and dark thought that, lately, kept crossing your mind more often than it should be crossing and occurring.

"What? Why?!"

"He's just acting so strange and weird."

You pulled yourself up into a cross-legged sitting position on Mina's bed to talk to her. Mina moved and adjusted her own body, completely immersed in what you were saying. You played with your hand as your next words came out.

"Whenever he's out late he always, and I mean always comes to my dorm before going to bed. He didn't come to my dorm last Friday, instead, he shows up at my dorm Saturday afternoon with flowers."

"Flowers are sweet and romantic though. The fact that he bought them for you means he cares."

"Katsuki always brings me a wide variety of flowers. Hydrangeas, snapdragons, hyacinth. It's out of the ordinary and romantic, but this time he bought roses. Not just any roses, yellow roses. What kind of statement is he trying to make with that one?! Everyone knows yellow roses mean friendship and red means romance. Even Denki knows that."

Mina scratched the back of her head nervously. She supposed she should have explained to Katsuki to get red roses. Katsuki was unaware of things in the romance department. Mina needed to try and dial things back before Katsuki found out what you're thinking.

"Katsuki isn't very romantically smart, you're his first serious romantic relationship."

"Yeah, but we've been dating for nearly a year, and that's not even it. We were studying yesterday, and you know how strict Katsuki is when he's studying, you've seen him with Eijirou. Katsuki was not strict at all, he made me stop studying to cuddle. To cuddle! Can you believe that?"

"Well... Maybe he's trying to be sweeter to you, I mean look at the necklace he got you, it's so romantic."

"Don't even get me started on the necklace! Katsuki always brings me sentimental and meaningful gifts. He buys me pencil led when I'm low, and notebooks when he sees my paper is getting down to the end, he buys me gloves when he notices mine are lost or have holes. They're stupid and meaningful and I love it."

You ran your fingers through your hair distressed and upset. Yanking your hands through a few new forming snarls from laying on the bed, practically pulling some hair strands out.

"The necklace isn't meaningful, it doesn't have sentiment, and he didn't even pick it out himself! Some girl picked it out for him."

"Why, didn't he say who? It doesn't mean anything. The girl is probably a friend."

"I think I already know who the girl is. It's some stupid brunette from Shiketsu High. They met during his supplementary lessons, they met again after their internship heroes started working together regularly. She saw him when we were walking to get coffee and she just had to stop and talk to him, she was obviously flirting with him."

You had never felt more awkward at that moment. She was blatantly flirting with him, whether she knew that you were together or not, you didn't know. You didn't expect Katsuki to talk about his relationship during his internship, he was supposed to be working, but you didn't trust her. You knew from that moment the brunette was going to be trouble. She was interested in your boyfriend and that spelled out trouble to you.

"'had a little help' he says, staking her claim on what's mine I say."

"[Y/N], I don't think katsuki would cheat on you. He wouldn't do that."

Mina felt completely nervous. She hadn't realized you and she had such different opinions on romance and what was wooing and not. Katsuki was romantic, he was doing nothing wrong, she just didn't see it from your point of view. Mina had worried Katsuki for nothing and gave bad romance advice which resulted in you worrying. Katsuki was going to kill her, she needed to fix this.

"[Y/N], Katsuki loves you a lot, don't worry, okay?"

"Okay, you're probably right, I'm thinking too much. I'm going back to my dorm, try to get some studying in before the test tomorrow."

Despite the pink girl's words you still didn't feel good. As you stood up and walked to her door, you still felt a rush of negative thoughts and emotions. You still felt winded and emotional. You still felt hurt and fearful of your relationship. You felt the same as you did when you walked into her dorm.  

You nervously tapped your leg up and down on the ground repeatedly as Mr. Ectoplasm and his copies passed out the scored math tests to the class. You supposed a quirk like that must be very useful as a teacher. You kept making little glances over at where Katsuki was sat and your heart clenched. You felt so ridiculous for suspecting he was cheating. You felt completely horrible. Mina was right, Katsuki loved you. Katsuki loved you and he would never cheat. The simple thought that he would was wrong, yet, this lingering feeling told you he was. 

Maybe you should talk to him about it. Maybe you should tell him and express your fears and worries. It was better to talk about things like this, it was better to express yourself rather than locking it up and away, where it could fester and damage your relationship. You looked back over at Katsuki, who caught your glace this time and smiled at you. The smile made you feel sick and guilty for feeling this way. You would tell him how you were feeling after class. The sooner it was out in the open the better. 

You turned back to your test sheet and frowned at the result. You got a forty. Forty. After all that studying you had received a forty. You wanted to be mad at Katsuki for not making you study harder, but you had studied with Izuku first hand. Maybe Ectoplasm would let you take a retest. Ectoplasm dismissed you all and you quickly folded up your test paper in half so no one could see your result as you exited. After you packed up your school bag you stood out in the hall and waited for Katsuki. 

The nerves in your stomach churned. You didn't want to tell Katsuki the negative thoughts that were running through you, you didn't want to tell him how you had dark thoughts and worries about him cheating, but you had to tell him. You had to put your thoughts and theories to rest. Katsuki came out in the hall with his own test papers in hand and you both began to walk to your next class. 

"What'd you score?"

"Got a ninety-two. You?"

"A forty."

You sighed as you clenched the paper in your hand. That was a D. Katsuki was on the fritz. He was trying to take Mina's advice. He wanted to be nice and softer to you like Mina told him he had to be, but he couldn't. You should've studied harder, he should've made you study harder. Katsuki gritted his teeth and took a deep breath to calm himself down before responding. 

"You'll do better next time!" 

"What is wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?"

You looked at Katsuki like he grew two heads. This wasn't your boyfriend, and you slightly wondered if Toga had infiltrated UA. He was never kind like this, he wasn't a positive person. He was supposed to yell at you. Tell you to study better. Tell you you needed to get good scores if you were going to become a hero with him. 

"It's just a bad test score, not every score can be a baller."

"I failed my test, you're supposed to yell at me. Tell me I'm stupid, tell me to study more. Tell me anything but that fake positivity shit! You are not acting like yourself, are you cheating on me? Is this guilt? Are you guilty?"

"No! Fuck, no!"

Katsuki dropped his bag and wrapped his arms around you. That wasn't how you meant to tell him about the thoughts you were having. You wanted to tell him calmly and respectfully, you hadn't meant to flat out accuse him, your thoughts just need up tumbling out that way. Katsuki's own reassuring words came stumbling out in your ear as he tightly gripped you against him.  

"You are perfect and beautiful, and so important to me. I would never cheat on you, I would never fuck up what I have with you. Why would you think that? I don't wanna make you feel that fuckin' way."   

"I know that. I know you wouldn't, but you have been acting so weird and different." 

"I need to be nice or else I'm going to lose you. I got insecure, but shit, I should be. You are so perfect, and you deserve roses and jewelry and the world. You deserve someone who cuddles you instead of studying and who doesn't make you feel like they're cheating and fuck-" 

You pull out of Katsuki's tight grip and cup his cheeks. Your fingers skimmed over his skin tenderly as you stared up at his red eyes and noticed how watery they were. Your heart broke, you thought he was unfaithful but he was really just scared of losing you.

"I don't want you to be soft and nice. You already give me the world Katsuki. You make me study because you care about me. I don't want you to get me roses and Jewelry, I hate it, and I love the stupid little gifts you get me. You don't give me affection and cuddles, but you do other things, like waiting to walk me to class and making me food." 

"You don't want me to be nicer?"

"No! Everything you do is already perfect. Everything you do shows me you care about me in your own way. I love the way you are, I don't want you to change."

Katsuki pulled you back into his arms and pressed a rough kiss against your forehead. He was doing everything right. He was better than dumb Deku, and your test score was proof of that. He wasn't going to lose you, Denki and Mina were wrong. 

"Come to my dorm tonight, you need to study better dumbass."

It didn't matter that the whole class watched the exchange between you both. It didn't matter that Mina had screwed with your relationship and felt very relieved to have gotten off scot-free, for now at least. It didn't matter because all Katsuki cared about was the fact that he was a great boyfriend, the best. He didn't have to be softer, nicer. He didn't have to change, you liked it. You loved him, the way he was. That was all that mattered.

dance with me

feeling alone at prom, good thing for you another person was left alone also.

⇢ Hi, Can I also request 46 with Kita? If you're not comfortable with writing him can you do it with Suna? Thank u and have a nice day! – @maitenight

⇢ prom!au — kita x reader

⇢ warning: mentioned reader wearing a dress.

⇢ wc: 1k | prompt: “ dance with me ” (the title hehe)

⇢ a/n: probably the longest one i wrote hehe. sorry for taking this so long!! I was abt to make this a royal!au but then realized i'm not good at writing at that kind of concept yet so i redone it as a prom!au . forgive me !!

you sit down on a vacant seat next to a table with the consumables, while everyone dances and has their romantic moments with their dates.

you? oh you're just quietly eating biscuits that you got from the table beside you. you never wanted to be in this event, the only reason you attended are: your dress. you don't want it to be a waste and not wear it so you just go. two, the food.

no one asked you out as their dates, they were flabbergasted that you actually came and yet none had the chance to ask you out as their partners, bummer. you really want to have one, but for now, you're just a display at the corner.

a display at the corner watching beef happening not so far from where you are, even so you could be able to hear them.

this isn't eavesdropping, you thought while listening to the pair argue.

a handsome lad with white hair and black highlights, the guy's same as your year but cooler. and a pretty woman who you don't care of, but seems like one of the people in your class.

” shinsuke.. i'm so sorry.. goodbye. ” the latter then walks out of the school gym.

” bland. ” you murmured beneath your breath before taking a bite of your biscuit, describing what had just happened. for what it seems like kita shinsuke getting dumped.

you shrugged and murmured once more, ” sucks for him. ” as you were about to eat the last piece of biscuit you took.

he then started walking to where you're sitting, you furrowed your eyes examining the figure getting nearer and nearer. his expression is gloomy, you felt the melancholic air surrounding him. sucks for him, you thought of again. you didn't bother him coming to you, after all you are beside the table with foods.

he just stood there, looking blankly at the stuff on the table, you felt bad for the man but also you wanted more biscuits since those are the only thing keeping you alive in this event.

you hand reached to a tray, grabbing 6 in your whole hand. your eyes widen in happiness, you took a glance at the man once more and caught him immediately looking away.

he just stood there, not even grabbing food or anything, he was a bit distant but he was the nearest person to you so you felt awkward, both of you do.

you didn't want the silence to keep going for you two, it's already making you uncomfy, so you decided to break it by speaking first. “ so.. your date? ”

kita darted his eyes, backing him out of his trance, “ o-oh.. uhm.. yes. ” he hesitated. “i mean, what happened to your date? ”

“ oh that? Let's just say something happened and now I'm alone. ”

without kita getting no food from the table, he walked to the vacant seat beside you, but before he sits he wants to make sure you're okay with it, so he whispers “ may i? ” you turned your dull face at him and slightly nodded, you're a little weary because of someone you don't fully know is sitting beside you, also after eating almost half of the biscuits on the table.

your face opposed him, you're getting uncomfy a second passes, but you didn't want to seem rude to the man, so you just sat there.

“ so, your date? ” kita asked sheepishly, continuing a conversation between the two of you.

“ oh.. well.. i don't have one— ” you replied, ending it with a chuckle of embarrassment. his hues immediately turned to you but you were unaware, considering you are faced the opposite as him. “ —I mean, i wasn't asked out. ”

before kita could speak you added “ I said i wasn't going but i did. ” once more.

you heard his response to your answer and it was just a simple, boring “ ahh.. ”

you also asked the same thing to the other, he let out a slow hum before answering.

“ did she dump you? ”

“ well.. no? i mean.. something urgent to her came up. i said she could go since that's more important than some dumb school event, so she left. ”

you replied the same thing that kita did earlier. “ ahh… ”

another segment of silence filled between the small area, not both of you can even think of a new conversation starter. the two of you are just awkwardly sitting beside each other, you barely even hear the music playing in the background, both of you are just mentally hearing cricket noises.

you looked at the students with stunning fits at the middle of the gym, having their own good time, “ aren't we just… lonely? ” you giggled by the end of your sentence, kita let out a short laugh. “ it is indeed. ”

some time later you and kita have been talking to each other for almost all the time, coming up with unfunny jokes here and there, introduced to each other also, of course. both of you were comfortable with each other even though you two met the very same night.

kita stood up and faced in front of you.

“ dance with me? ” his open hand slowly facing in front of you. because of this sudden action of his, you found not only what he did, but he himself attractive. your heart starting beating fast like it was in competitive racing. you unawaringly lift both the edge of your lip. you smiled blissfully, laid your hand on his, joyfully saying “ yes. yes you may. ”

a genuine smile plastered on his face. you couldn't describe how attractive his visage was, then again, you couldn't get it off your brain that everything about him became attractive.

he pulled you up and placed both his arms on your waist, wrapping both of your hands around his neck.

“ don't you want to dance in the middle? ” you asked, as the two of you started, slowly moved your feet.

the captain shrugged, “ i do not. i'm not the type of person to be in the spotlight. ”

though you two just met the very same night.

you would never forget how you two made one another, have the best night.

i hope we'd still act like this if ever we'd stumble upon each other again.

[calamitousrpg]

Hi. This could be a long shot but I used to rp on jcink and I left it almost a year ago to take a break as I found the communities very toxic. I miss my characters and I forgot you there were rp communities on tumblr! I have never rp'd on tumblr before and I'm not sure how it works, as in where is the actual place where written character posts are or where members chat? I'm a newbie to tumblr rp and would love to join. I would appreciate some advice on how to start! xx

Hey there! Thank for for taking the time to reach out to us, we’re more than happy to try our best and give you to tumblr RP rundown! Sorry to hear you had a poor experience elsewhere - rest assured, if you want to be part of Crooked, we don’t bite! (We even have Game Nights !)

A summary of what I’ll try cover: 

Your blog is where you post as your muse/character per se, you can reblog musings and anything you like about your character(s) on here for the group to see. 

Your replies/roleplay interactions are also on here where you can post responses to open starters and engage in all that’s happening! (If you don’t use discord - we use it as our OOC platform, your OOC communications will go on your blog(s) too!)

So, to begin, the way the process of on the dash RP-ing works is generally: You create a tumblr account separate to your personal/main. You can use a little trick in the sign-up process to avoid creating new emails and losing track. For example: 

[email protected] can be used for your personal tumblr escapades! And then, for an RP one, you can use the same email, but format it like this: [email protected]. (It still goes to your same inbox, but it allows you to have multiple accounts - if you’re using them for different groups.)

I already feel like I might have lost you a little here - so, let me continue off this topic... we can always help you set-up later! 

Once you have a tumblr account, you can then decide if you want to keep it organised in the sense of individual character blogs or if you want to compile multiple characters onto one blog; then use the tumblr tagging system to make it clear which you’re using if you have gathered a few muses! We have a mixture in the group who use Mumu blogs (multi-muse) and those who use individuals - it’s purely personal preference! Despite using a Mumu myself here in Crooked, I generally prefer individuals because it makes it a little easier to keep up with the replies I may owe! 

Alrighty, so there’s that ramble added... It’s honestly much simpler to navigate than I may be making it out to be - my apologies! Essentially, you reblog interactions at your pace and create new ones for those to engage in and your threads are you ongoing interactions. If you would like some examples, I’ll list the admin blogs below so if you wanted to have a quick scroll for examples of how we kind of interact - there’s not really a right or wrong way! 

@crxxkedevil , @twistedxpromises & @eternallyxcrooked 

These listed above are all mumu blogs - so we have multiple characters we have compiled into a single blog, whereas we have members that have a main blog and then add side blogs for each picked up OC character. But you should be able to see the method of roleplay in each of these. There is also no rule on length or tense you write in ... you’ll see some variation, I’m sure. As long as it’s understandable and we can gauge interactions, you’re on for a win! Hurrah! 

I feel like that’s the getting started basics kind of covered? Everyone has their own tumblr tagging system on their posts to be able to retrieve former interactions and such. 

A beneficial program (I’d recommended getting.) is a free add-on for google chrome browsers called XKit as it offers the ability to edit posts once they’ve been posted and you can reblog just the newest interaction instead of swarming the dash with previous/repeat engagements. Honestly, if you haven’t realised I’m Queen of the Rambles - you... do now... but truly, we’re all friendly and willing to help you every step of the way! You’ll pick it up in no time, I’m sure! A lot of information and step-by-steps are covered in sections of the Main blog that might give you some insights beyond my explanations! 

As for discord, this is the OOC platform we use for out of character interactions and general day-to-day conversations. (Also, game nights... and lots of other chaos.) It’s also free and is available on both mobile & desktop. There’s no obligation to be part of the server there - but you’re more than welcome to get to know your fellow members and RP-ers! Helps with plotting threads and interactions too.

As a last addition: we’ve broken down the process a little on the Navigation page (Mobile Navigation, here.) so you’re able to look at things pre-application and then post-application to try encourage an ease of access for all. Hopefully by looking at some blog examples of ours and having a meander through the CrookedSoulsRPG main blog that you should find some helpful resources. We also have a resources blog, here if you want to look at gifs and icons... especially if you’re potentially not used to using gifs/icons/gif icons in your interactions, we try to where we can and there’s many faces for inspiration if you haven’t acquired an arsenal of faces yet! 

Thank you again for sending this in! I hope that this somewhat helped you in your starting up process? If you need clarification on more, you’re more than welcome to hit us with all the messages you like, or if you want to pop in an application if you think you’e got the ropes and an idea of what muses/characters you wanna throw into the Crooked world. A quick read down our guidelines to check they’re all good for you and you’re away! 

We’re more than happy to continue helping you through the process in any way we can - we’re all very welcoming! Please, don’t be shy! Believe me, we’re all been there before, we all start somewhere!

[destieldrabblesdaily]

hello there (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I'm pretty new to destiel and just found your blog because I wanted to look into some fanfics and someone recommended & turns that you have like a billion one shots for destiel! love your writing style but, I'm not sure where to start in your drabbles tag because it's soooo much (ﾟдﾟ) can u maybe point me to some popular ones or some that you preferred writing or something like that to get me started? thank you anyway (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿

Hey friend! 

Ahh, I totally get you. :p A billion is a bit ambitious, but with like 400 stories in one tag and no way to sort, it might get tricky. *sweats nervously for not having a better tagging system*

But anyway, you rock for finding my blog and liking my style, so here is a little something to help you out! For starters, a lot of my stories are also on AO3, which is still a realm of chaos, but is a hell of a lot easier to navigate than my tumblr tag. 

Anyway, here is a little map to get you started, sorted by my most popular Destiel fics (according to AO3), and ones I personally just loved writing!

—

Canon!Verse fics, most popular:

1) CursedTeam Free Will is hunting a witch, but before she dies she turns Cas into a kitten. They can’t find a cure, and after two weeks everyone is losing hope. One night when Cas is sleeping on Dean’s chest, the curse fades and he turns into himself again. As Dean’s luck would have it, Sam walks into the living room seeing Dean sprawled out on the couch with a very naked Castiel on top of him.

2) JealousyWhen Dean, Sam and Castiel are having a drink at a bar after a hunt, Dean finds Cas flirting with a guy, and suddenly realizes something about his own feelings for the angel… 

3) Dream A Little DreamCastiel goes after a Djinn but gets captured, and of course his dream world is all about Dean and him being happy together, so he’s very disappointed when Dean and Sam save him and he wakes up… 

4) With A Little Help From My FriendDean is really nervous about finally telling Castiel how he feels, so he practices over Skype with Charlie. Naturally, Cas chooses that exact moment to drop by, and ends up hearing the whole thing…

5) WhiteboardFor a while now, there has been a whiteboard in Dean’s room. When failing to say the words out loud, there’s always the option to write them down. So that’s exactly what Castiel suggests, and Dean humors him, the two of them finding new ways to understand and forgive each other by working through some issues from both the present and the past.

Soulmate AU’s, most popular:

1) What Can’t Be SeenSoulmate AU where you first see color after eye contact: Cas is a famous best selling author and he’s promoting his book, so he’s talking to a crowd of people and suddenly his world is in color, and a lot of his fans pretend to be his soulmate. A Cinderella type situation ensues.

2) The PendantAU where instead of a tattoo/name everyone’s born with a pendant/charm necklace that matches their soulmate’s. Dean walks into their bathroom thinking it’s empty, but there’s Cas taking off his shirt to take a shower and Dean sees his necklace (that matches Dean’s, obviously) and freaks out (because Dean is totally 100% NOT gay at all). Bonus if Cas already knows.

3) Camping and CuddlesDean and Castiel have been best friends since forever, and they decide to go on a camping trip to celebrate graduating high school. When it starts raining and Cas’ tent turns out to have a huge hole in it, the boys are forced to share Dean’s tent, and things heat up.

#Anonymous #replies for ts #destiel #deancas #fic rec #sort of #long post for ts

[musepirations]

i honestly feel like nobody wants to plot or write with me? when i join any rp, ones that haven't even opened yet, i see that people have started plotting & doing all these things & nobody does that with me? i even started approaching people first, but i'm either left with no reply in chat or after a starter. feels like the rpc is pushing me away & it might be time for me to stop i guess.

❞ HI HUN !! First of all, I’m super sorry you feel that way. I’m actually almost convinced it’s not a personal thing ?? I feel like the roleplay community and quite a lot of groups nowadays have become kinda superficial and shallow ?? And this is no dig at certain groups or types of groups or people – just a personal feeling I have. It feels as if everyone gets hyped up about a new group, the admins put in lots of effort in creating a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing main and in return, applicants spend days working on mock blogs and edits and tags and try to have the fanciest and prettiest aesthetic. And that’s not a bad thing, don’t get me wrong. I know a lot of people ( me included ) just get satisfaction from creating blogs and themes and edits and whatnot. Other muns or applicants appreciate it, as well. But I feel like the hype creates nothing but a temporary spark of muse and excitement. No one can wait to start roleplaying and plotting and developing their roles – but it seems that in quite some of the cases, the roleplay opens for interactions and within a week ( or a couple weeks, if it’s lucky ) everyone has lost muse, left or ghosted. Partially because everyone else gets busier and maybe overestimates the time they still have left to roleplay – because we all come from a time where we had plenty of roleplay time and with growing up, we try to hold on to what we once used to love but life just doesn’t always allow it anymore. And we don’t always want to accept that, do we ?? So we join a roleplay, thinking it’ll work out, but then we get busier and get stressed about meeting activity rules and end up leaving anyways because our muse is gone or we simply don’t have time. We put so much time and effort in hyping ourselves up and creating blogs and storylines and plots but when it comes down to roleplaying, we’re left with nothing. At least, that’s what it feels like for me. Also – and this is not a dig to anyone because if it were, it’d be calling myself out as well, you know – whether we like to admit it or not, lots of people in the rpc steer clear from mains that don’t use gif icons for their mascots, or use mascots that are a bit outdated, or don’t have fancy themes or a plot-drop-driven plot. We all want to go back to the good old days but don’t give roleplays that go back to those days a chance. And like I said, I don’t believe that caring about aesthetics or having a fancy theme is a bad thing – not at all. Everyone should do what they love to do, and for some that’s being creative with graphics and edits, and for others it’s simply in writing. But, I do feel like the roleplays that last longest nowadays, aren’t the flashy and super-fancy ones – but the ones that care most about the writing and the developing of roles, above anything else. And those roleplays are still out there – we just look over them. 

Now I know I kind of went off of the subject there, I’m sorry – that’s just an evolution I personally seem to find nowadays and I’ve been thinking that a lot lately. But anyways – what I want to say is, it’s probably not you. In general, a lot of people plot but don’t follow up on it with replies and threads. A lot of people ghost before even opening. Maybe you’ve simply been on the losing end every time – in roleplays that didn’t survive or with people that ghosted or aren’t active. Finding a lasting partner is very hard nowadays, I feel. But they’re out there. And like I’ve said to a ‘nonnie the other day, don’t give up looking. Maybe try looking for them in another place – the indie community ?? Or another roleplay ?? Maybe one that has been going for a little while already ( then you know it has some active members and a solid basis and often times, those people will be more than happy to welcome new members and new roles ). I’m sorry for the massive rant, dear, I still hope it brought some clarity – I’m sure it’s not you. I think we all feel a bit left out and lonely nowadays, in the roleplay community. But, if you ever want to 1x1 or something, feel free to hit me up. I’m not the most active person, but I promise I’m dedicated if you are !! Xoxo

[aerisosweet]

It went throughhhh!! I'll have to stick to sending the longer mobile asks from now on~

I'm not from the US but California is always really sunny right? ☀️ it must be nice 😭 but at the same time I can understand the want/wish for colder weather too hehe. I think for me, after spending a few weeks in my summers in other countries than where I was born I just realized how lovely summer can be and it grew on me so much~ plus I'm always (physically) cold and winter here can get pretttyyyy coldddd so maybe I've just gotten worse at handling the cold too ><

But also, it's good that you've found your forever groups, no?😇 there's nothing wrong with enjoying one or two groups deeply. Some kpop fans are really out here acting like you have to stan every group there ever was or will be and like... whomst has the time for starters and two... it's just not possible to love/enjoy every group out there as equally as you do your fave groups. Similarly to you, I've always really just been into EXO and SHINee (and I guess Superm now too) in terms of boy groups and select few girl groups and tbh I really can't get into any new boy groups at all so I get you. But Rosaaaaaa (is it okay to call you Rosa?🥰) I'm here being younger than everyone in SHINee and EXO lol, but yes!! Key!! He's my no.2 in SHINee so you've got taste (with him and Yixing/Baekhyun😌)

And as soon as Christmas Day hits and I've posted your gift I'll follow you so you'll know soon enoughhhhh hehe. And yessss it's Kai~ and I'm a veryyyy happy Erigom at the moment!!💕💕💕 How did you find his solo album?? What was your fave song~~ (and concept from Film:Kai if you watched it hehe). Scream about him with meee~

And ah!! I had a feeling you'd like blue🤓 mint green is so cute too I agree ;; buttt to not spoil anything in terms of the color sphere of your gifset hehe, you'll have to see what...cough... colorS are used😌🤓. And and anddd I had already been planning to use Lose Control and Love Me Right so I shall re-edit somewhere and sneak in a bit of Namanana~!! I really hope you enjoy your gift and that Christmas will be as fun and as warm and loving as possible for you 🎄❄️☃️🎁💝

Plans Christmas wise I bought some gifts and wrapped them but you're really right that we can barely go anywhere so it's probably just going to be gift giving and whatever movies are on TV lol. How about you? <33

Ps not me being shocked pikachu.jpg when some of my asks don't arrive when I write this much skfkskd 😭💕

~exo ss anon 🥰

It did go through! And I never realized you can do that on mobile, so I started using it for my person, hehe But I get so paranoid, I’d accidentally reveal myself — but then again it’s the same thing as using the desktop ask lol

California is usually sunny but we have some rainy days — rare but not unwelcome haha during winter it does get a bit colder since we’re technically a desert still but a lot of people still go to the beach! Where are you from?

Yes, I think so. But my forever groups are either going on hiatus (Japanese) or inactive as a group so I’m like what to do, what to do? LOL

Yes, of course, you can call me Rosa, haha it’s my name :) Hahaha oh you’re a young one haha Well, no, I keep forgetting EXO/SHINee are now mid-20s so you could be that same age, but a lot of people I see are younger, I feel so much older haha And yay for Key! Who is your number in SHINee?

Yay for Kai! I bought all his albums because I was so proud of his album. I was a bit worried because I know he’s not a vocalist, in comparison to like Baekhyun, Chen but he did so well and you can tell he’s been working on it. My favorites were Hello Stranger and I think Amnesia, aside from Mmmh haha I need to check again. What was your favorite?

Ah! No need to re-edit, I’m sure I’ll like whatever you made! I know how hard it can be so ;_; I guarantee I’ll be grateful for whatever you made!

I actually don’t celebrate Christmas (haha, but I like signing up for these kinds of things because it’s fun), so it’s a normal day for my family. But we do a huge thing for New Years with gifts and stuff. We’re doing gift exchange and we just drew names and stuff. I got my mom and I was already going to get her something so even though it’s more than our limit, it’s okay. She deserves it hahaha

Thank you for your message and I look forward to seeing what you made!

I really don't want to sound like I'm underestimating asoiaf or Martin's work but bruh it is another "whites are saving the world" story. In the end not even a single poc will make give a shape to great ending. Mark my words.

For starters, Dany is genetically almost 40% Dornish, a category outranked only the 50% Blackwood she gets from her great-grandmother. So let’s not pretend that she’s full Valyrian here, pal.

(Edited to add: I mention the above because I think a lot of people forget that since Dany’s parents and grandparents were both incestuous, she has the same amount of Dornish blood that Aegon V’s kids had. They often ignore Dyanna and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Mariah, and I wanted to point that out.)

Secondly, I don’t know what story you’re reading, but POC absolutely shape it. A POC may not be one of the dragonriders, but nor will Bran, Arya, Sansa, Jaime, Cersei, or Stannis, and I sure hope you’re not saying they’re not important?

But I’m more than happy to provide examples, so let’s look at a few ways, shall we?

Without Mariah Martell or Dyanna Dayne, you don’t get any present-day Targaryens. You don’t get Maekar who was pivotal in the Battle of the Redgrass Field and thus in stomping out the Blackfyre Rebellion, you don’t get Dunk, you don’t get Aegon V or Maester Aemon or Summerhall fire, and so on and so forth.

Without Maron Martell, there is no Martell for Daenerys to marry and thus the pact to bring Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms is left uncompleted.

Without Elia Martell, Rhaegar marries someone else (Cersei?) who is presumably perfectly healthy and thus he never requires Lyanna, thus doesn’t set off the Rebellion, thus neither Jon nor Dany are born. Literally the entire scope of the series changes without her.

Without Doran…god only knows how the story would go. Elia would either be the Princess of Dorne’s heir or the POD would still try and link her with Rhaegar, but in that case Oberyn would be her heir, thus he wouldn’t be anything like what we know him as, he likely wouldn’t have ever met Ellaria (or some of the older Sand Snakes’ mothers), he would have been in Dorne during the Rebellion and therefore would have tried to rescue Elia and the kids come hell or high water, or else without Doran’s calming influence he’d have tried to raise Dorne in open rebellion, if the pact with Viserys is still upheld then Quentyn doesn’t go to Dany (maybe no one goes at all), and about a thousand other differences.

Without Oberyn, none of the Sand Snakes are born, the secret pact to betroth Viserys and Arianne likely doesn’t happen, Tyrion doesn’t have a champion for his trial, the Mountain doesn’t die, Dorne doesn’t get riled up because of Oberyn’s death.

Without Arianne, there is no pact with Viserys, there is no Mellario leaving, there is no Queenmaker plot, there is no being resentful with Doran, there is no scheming with the Sand Snakes, there is no Arys going against his vows, there is no marriage (or proposed marriage) and subsequent alliance with Aegon.

Without Quentyn, the Yronwoods would require Trystane to be sent to them, but he can’t fill Quentyn’s shoes with the Dany plot because he’s too young, so that never happens.

Without Trystane, Myrcella never goes to Dorne and the Queenmaker plot doesn’t happen, Darkstar isn’t on the run, etc.

Without the Princess of Dorne, Lewyn Martell is the Prince and doesn’t have the same ambitions as his sister and thus either lets Elia choose who she wants to marry (likely a Dornishman) or at the very least doesn’t push for a match with Rhaegar, he doesn’t piss off Tywin, Aerys has no Dornish hostages during the Rebellion and therefore no Dornish army.

Without Prince Lewyn, there is either some other Dornishman who becomes a Kingsguard and leads the Dornish troops or someone else entirely (whom the Dornish troops wouldn’t be all that interested in following), he’s not on the Trident to die, Jon Arryn doesn’t have his bones to ostensibly placate the Martells with, Elia doesn’t have a protector when she marries Rhaegar.

Without old Lord Yronwood, Oberyn never kills him, Oberyn never gets exiled from Dorne, Quentyn never goes to the Yronwoods as a ward, Mellario never leaves, etc.

Without Arthur Dayne, there is no Sword of the Morning, there is no close friendship with Rhaegar, Rhaegar’s plans may well have not succeeded, some of Ned’s northmen would still be alive, Ashara may not have committed suicide.

Without Khal Drogo, Viserys/Dany doesn’t get the Dothraki army, nor does she get the dragon eggs that Illyrio gave her as a wedding present, which means no dragons and all that go with them.

Without the Unsullied, Dany doesn’t conquer Slaver’s Bay nor does she even have a hope of taking Westeros without joining up with an army such as Aegon’s.

Do I really need to go on?

If you get rid of even one of the primary POC characters (or even some of the D-listers) you have no story, simple as that. Sorry not sorry.
