Don't watch then? If you're going to be disappointed no matter what then don't watch

I think some people don't realize that Helluva and Hazbin are capable of good writing, that they are capable of amazing animation, good songs, and ideas. They HAVE that stuff, they've done it before, and continue to do it, not as often as before, but there are diamonds in the rough. It's the execution and vast changes in direction that fall flat, that are not good because the direction is lost, interactions become contradictory, the story doesn't seem as complex... and from a fandom standpoint, a lot of people within a fandom write fics, comics, or draw art based off things they wanted to see more of in the show. AUs to twist a direction, explore different arcs, expand a character, showcase a potential relationship- all of which the show did not. Whether a show is super good or terribly horrible, out of hype or spite, it is still an inspiration.

#im here for alastor and charlie man #i might get breadcrumbs but i miss my happy obsession with Hazbin Hotel #im dropping Helluva Boss after S2 finalizes #i heard some things i want to confirm myself are true- because those things in particular if unchanged will make me lose 100% interest #where as Hazbin Hotel may or may not be influenced by higher up the food chain kind of people #its got specific funding- specific episodes- its an officially released streaming service exclusive show #and good or bad it will expand on characters outside of a 30 min pilot #which will finally give the fandom new material to work with #and i wish to one day write a fic rewriting Helluva and maybe even Hazbin one day if i find the time and passion again #so if i can see what directions the show initially were going in #and steer them back onto those paths- then i gotta see the show to know #hazbin hotel critical

"I think it would be easier if we were a team."

Day Five of @bylerweek2023 - Secret Identities aka - the Modern!Byler + DnD AU no one asked for

The details for their character sheets came from here + here, though only Mike's is confirmed secondary media. The details + story behind these versions of byler under the cut!

The Secret

The Cleric (Will) & The Paladin (Mike) have been playing digital campaigns together for nearly five years now, after Mike‘s then-newfound investment in Critical Role inspired him to hunt for an online DnD game to play for himself.

Inseparable on the pixelated battlefield, their half a decade of campaigning together has slowly turned them into the best of (digital) friends, as they’ve shared their deepest secrets in the anonymous-but-meaningful way you can only online. From Will admitting that his main concern even outside being ridiculed for his sexuality is healing from childhood PTSD to Mike admitting that his picture-perfect family hates his interests and would never accept that he likes guys, both of them have learned to defer to each other in and out of campaigns—they have grown deeply fond of each other through their characters’ adventures…and chats that mean more to both of them than they would dare admit aloud.

Even so, all the Cleric and the Paladin really know about each other on a practical level is that they’re both 20 this year, are both in college now, and that they both come from the Midwest—though they do hope to meet one day if it ever makes sense.

There really is nothing like a friend who gets to see the sides of you you’re not allowed to show in any other space—and neither of them wants to live their entire lives without someone who treats them as well as their longtime D&D companion.

The Identities

Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have been in each other’s orbit since elementary school in Hawkins, though Will’s been pretty distant about keeping tabs on Mike since he dated (and subsequently broke up) with his sister El during freshman year. Mike always enjoyed the time he spent with Will and could tell that Will felt the same, though Mike knew from the second he broke up with El that Will’s love for his family was going to take precedence over their mutual interest in the same (nerdy) things—the same way it did for his sister Nancy when she broke up with Will’s brother, Jonathan, when they went to college.

It’s been years since that happened now, though—and the last time Mike spoke to Will was when they gave each other a friendly hug goodbye the day of high school graduation. Now well into his 3rd year of college, Mike only knows that Will goes to IU just like he does…but on a campus of over 30,000 people and as an English major to Will’s Visual Arts, it’s not like they see each other.

Even so, time away from his exacting family has made Mike more comfortable, and he has slowly realized that it’s time to branch out of his solely hypothetical “rebellious” spaces and into meeting real people who share his interests—to fully embrace is love of DnD in real life to learn the fine art of figurine painting, soak up all the wisdom to be found in classic printed dungeon master guides, and experience the ruckus of a well-strategized in-person campaign. That’s why, on one rainy Friday night in March, he wanders into the Hellfire Club—the on-campus DnD group he’s heard of but never been brave enough to join.

Given his knowledge of Will from all those years ago, seeing the guy he grew up with sitting next to him for Eddie Munson’s grungy basement campaign wasn’t all that much of a surprise, actually. What was a surprise was what happened when he looked down at the table in front of the boy next to him….only to see “Will the Wise” at the top of Will Byers character sheet, plain as day.

tl;dr - you're 20, and your long-time online crush bestie who knows all your secrets turns out to be the brother of the girl you dated for five seconds at 14. Chaos ensues.

#bylerweek2023 #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #tbh it this was the most confusing prompt for me in this whole week… I didn’t know what I was going to do. And THIS happened #design forward #SO THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MY USUAL STUFF #these gifs are literally my first ever attempt at blending images? #the clips for the dnd characters deadass came from the baulders gate character builder omg #and the clips of the boys are from GQ interviews #it’s def not my usual gif style or process BUT #but I enjoyed it! and thanks to Bre (as always) for hearing me talk this whole idea out lmaooo #as for the whole plot that went along with me thinking out 'secret identities' #...I have no reasoning other than it got away from me lol #I don't write fic but HELL if I will not write out a whole story like a summary or script treatment LMAO #I might try my hand on expanding it one day #but for now its just this. lol #stranger things #the me tag #my gifs #st writing #byleredit #tuserrae

Fairytale! I think that could be fun as either being set in a fairytale or maybe someone isn’t feeling well so one of the others tells them stories to feel better.

Prince Sky sighed to himself and let his head fall forwards to rest against the door. His hand was on the knob, but he couldn't bring himself to open the door.

Knock knock

Sky gasped and stumbled backwards.

"My prince?"

"Yeah," Sky said, clearing his throat. "Come in, Wars."

Sir Warriors opened the door and quickly pushed it shut behind him. He looked at Sky, then his face slid into a sly grin.

"Were you-"

"Don't worry about it," Sky interrupted, smoothing down his clothes.

Warriors shook his head with a smile, which Sky returned.

"Are you ready, your highness?" Warriors asked.

"Again, Wars, Sky is fine. I'm as ready as I'll ever be, I suppose," Sky said.

"Is something wrong?" Warriors asked.

"Sun and Groose are taking the horses out today. I just... would much rather be out with Aepon. Instead I'm stuck in knighting ceremonies all day," Sky said.

Warriors bit his lip and glanced to the side. Sky's back straightened, intruiged. Warriors would never show so much expression in front of others, but was lucky enough to know his friend's tells.

"What? Is there going to be drama? Something interesting?" Sky asked.

"No one's supposed to know, but... the Oracle predicted that the next Hero is in the castle today," Warriors said.

Sky gasped. "The Hero... here? Today? Does my father know?"

Warriors nodded. "His Majesty is prepared. The Oracle will be in the ceremonies today to find the Hero."

Sky clasped his hands together and bounced with glee. He had to get all his feelings out before the ceremony, where he had to play the part of a perfect Prince in front of the Royal Court.

"This means we could finally put an end to the Warlock! Oh, I can't wait! The people could know peace again!" Sky said.

Warriors smiled, and gave Sky a look he couldn't quite decipher.

"What?" Sky asked.

Warriors' smile grew. "You're a good Prince. You'll make a fine king, one day."

Sky blushed madly, and cleared his throat. "Um. Thank you, Wars. Let's go."

[jade-of-mourning]

the problem with mako is that once you realize just how many insanely Layered Issues™ the guy has, you realize that you cannot shove them into a single oneshot like you'd planned and that you may possibly have to write about him for a very extended period of time to expand on all the many ideas that are rotting your brain.

(he's just so. so easy to give Fucked Up Brain Things to.)

#lychee's brain trash #mako lok #i'm honestly not even mad about the fact that #i'll probably be shitting out fics like nobody's business #i already have 14k of disjointed writing on him from the past two-ish weeks lmfao #i wrote 3k during the second-to-last day of finals #i wrote 2.2k last last night and i wrote 1.6k earlier this morning #my writing style is rapidly devolving and idk what to do about it #might have to throw together a collection of oneshots or something #i want to expand on that thing i posted a couple days ago and the one i wrote this morning #rose beds will probably be the Big One though and the rest just short #but we'll see ig maybe that'll change

[harvestmoth]

sorry for oc posting. will happen again in another year or so

#she is still unnamed :] #i have however thought of a pokemon team she might have based upon like 5 minutes of research #she has no lore anymore shes just the werewolf oc i have. should maybe one day expand upon her whole thing #idk i havent really been drawing lately maybe this will be what gets me back into it #that or its another week of hibernation for me

[soft-ramuda]

“bunny.”

i haven't written anything in a while but that changed today! i've always been intrigued with the fact ramuda fucks to forget his predicament and so have this!

cw: semi nsfw (not descriptive or anything; minors dni please!) ; fuck buddies ; bunny as a petname (bc im weak for it) ; lowercase intended

ramuda amemura x gn! reader

word count : 552

you're his only bunny he says under his breath, in between moans when he calls you up at 2 am to fuck you so good— so pleasurably good it has your mind numb, your head thrown back, your fingernails deep into the flesh of his back, and you can only form his name on your lips as they leave like a prayer— a gospel. you can't walk the morning you wake up and he isn't besides you anymore.

you're his only bunny he teases with a small smile on his lips as he circles you in the hotel room he rented for this. eyes on you like you're some sort of pathetic prey as you squirm and fidget where you stand, feeling small in his blue gaze. it's intense. just as intense as the fire that builds inside you, the way it bubbles up as he makes his way to you.

you're his only bunny he whispers in your ear and you can feel the smirk on his lips. it makes your knees buckle and a moan leave your lips. you hate it. you hate it. you hate it. but he makes you so weak in the knees. he makes your head spin. he has you wrapped around his finger. he has your body betraying you as his teasing ministrations continue between your legs, inside your shorts as he presses sweet kisses to your cheek and neck.

you're his only bunny he says; his voice as spent as you feel as his hips never stop moving against yours. it feels way too good. he has you moaning, reaching up to him, begging for him. you feel disgusted with yourself with the way he has you right now— so fucked and so desperate. so noisy for him— screaming for him as he finally let you orgasm. you can almost see a semblance of love and adoration for you in his blue eyes, and it makes your heart soar.

you're his only bunny he says reassuringly, kissing you on the head, peppering you even more in flattery and praise— it's what he's good at, you know it, and you're eating up his words as if you're the only one he says those sweet sweet words to. you know you aren't. it makes your heart ache but who cares? he has you in his arms and he's whispering sweet nothings— sweet lies— right in your ear. you won't find him next to you in the morning and for now, that's okay. he has you in his arms and he's lying right in your ear about how much he loves you.

and that's ... okay. you have him for a night— for a few hours at best. and that's okay. to have him like this, even if it made your heart ache and stomach churn, is better than to not have him at all.

but it's lie after lie after lie. you're sick of it. it made you nauseous to see his name on your caller id for nth time this week. what does want from you? why can't he just leave you alone? why are you answering him? why are you saying yes to him? why are you going over to shibuya just for him to use you like your some kind of disposable fuck toy for his pleasure to use?

[cnovelartreblogs]

Hey guys!

I'm still struggling to keep the queue for this blog active, and I've got two other art side blogs that I'm also struggling to keep active - @zhenhunartreblogs and @dmbjartreblogs. Neither fandom produces quite enough artwork to maintain a one-post-a-day rate, and I no longer have time to go hunting through art blogs trying to find old stuff.

With that in mind, I'm going to fold both side blogs into this one.

What that means short term is that I'll just start rebloging Zhenhun/Guardian and DMBJ/Daomu Biji/The Lost Tomb art to this blog instead of those.

Long term, I'll start reblogging the content in each of those side blogs to here, and deleting the posts there, until both are empty, and then I'll delete them. (Combined, they have about 3,000 posts).

Don't worry, I don't possibly have time to inundate this blog with all that content at once, and I'll work first on getting this queue stocked with a variety of fandoms so it doesn't just become suddenly "here are 500 reblogs of Shen Wei and Wu Xie."

Thanks for your patience, everyone!

-unforth

#mod post #unforth rambles #long term i might also fold in erha and tyk #but doing that would be a MUCH bigger prospect and both fandoms do generate at least one piece a day the vast majority of the time #so that's still only in the i'm vaguely thinking about it stage #note that for those who don't know cnovelartreblogs was originally just thousand autumns #and i expanded it for the same reasons there just wasn't enough thousand autumns content to keep a queue active #so this kind of change isn't unprecedented for me

the first day toshinori was able to step foot outside of might tower and not be recognized by a single person the ENTIRE DAY — it did something to him...

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #this has been on the brain for a few days. n i'm workin on a draft that's got me thinkin bout it again... #how it didn't take long for his body to really start changing after the afo incident #because ofa is such a demanding quirk and he just physically couldn't supply what was needed to wield it properly anymore. #any time it was activated was like pulling the stopper on a full bathtub. meanwhile the faucet could only manage to drip... #it's literally killing him — to an extent. because of his condition. #smth i expand on in another post tucked away in the drafts #but i digress. #because of his deteriorating physical form and what that'd do to the symbol of peace if the public knew #for the longest time he REFUSED to leave the tower unless he was working. as ALL MIGHT. #i mean...for over a YEAR you did not see that man outside of his uniform. #then the ONE DAY HE DID VENTURE OUTSIDE — being called a simple “sir” by the waitress...by the man at the gas station... #to be stopped on the street not for an autograph — but for directions to the train station... #to be the one in need of HELP — practically picked up off the floor by some random man at the grocery store #after tripping and falling over someone else's cart...to be brushed off and left alone almost immediately after... #THAT day ? that day was WILD. #and then he refused to leave the tower again for another week and a half.

DOCTOBER '23 ⸺ 「 23 / 31 * NOSTALGIA 」

December 7, 1985

❝Can you believe it's been twenty-seven years already since we got married, George?❞ Lorraine says, smiling as George wraps his arms around her from behind. He leans in and whispers something in her ear that paints her face a bright shade of red and has her giggling like a schoolgirl. Lorraine swats at George's hand half-heartedly, but her eyes are twinkling with the knowledge passed between them in their silent conversation.

Marty quickly looks away from his parents to look at Dave, at Linda, at the faint coffee stain on the couch—anywhere but there. Linda rolls her eyes, shrugs at Marty, and leans in toward her little brother to whisper, ❝You and Jennifer better not be this bad when you get to be Mom and Dad's age.❞

❝How time flies,❞ George says wistfully, ❝but these have been the best years of my life. I married the woman of my dreams, I have my family... You know, I was actually looking through some of our old stuff and you'll never guess what I found tossed in with the photo albums—our old yearbooks!❞

❝Our yearbooks? Oh, I haven't thought about those things in years.❞ Lorraine sighs, leaning back into George. ❝Speaking of high school, George, you remember Calvin?❞

Marty snaps straight to attention as Lorraine makes a noise he can't quite place. At his sides, Linda and Dave both groan in preparation for a story they've heard so many times they could recite it verbatim.

A lump the size of a baseball forms in Marty's throat and he feels the tension mounting in his shoulders as he pulls them tighter, willing to the powers-that-be that his parents change the topic or the power goes out. The lights don't even flicker and his silent pleas once again go unanswered.

He grabs his soda from the table.

❝Calvin. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. I wonder what happened to him. He disappeared after the dance; didn't his uncle say he went back to New York?❞

They talked to Doc? Marty chokes on his drink and Linda whips her head around, her face scrunched up in a mix of concern and annoyance. ❝You forget how to drink?❞ He waves a hand at the four pairs of eyes now trained on him to say I'm fine, ignore me. Dave pats him gently on the knee.

❝He must have been one of the strangest people I ever met,❞ George continues, humming softly. ❝Always saying weird things, didn't quite fit in—❞

❝But he was so handsome,❞ Lorraine muses, and Marty feels his stomach flip. This is all still too fresh in his mind for them to be talking about this and he fights the urge to cover his mouth when he starts feeling nauseous for fear that they'll somehow put two-and-two together.

Dave's brows furrows as he asks if Marty's feeling alright and he diverts the question with a hurried nod.

❝Mm, he was an attractive guy, wasn't he?❞ Marty's eyes widen as the realisation sets in.

❝I'll never forget his advice to me: you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it. It's what I've been teaching you kids since you were little. It's all because of him I had the courage to stand up to Biff that night.❞

Lorraine smiles. ❝You were amazing, George. It was the most heroic thing anyone had ever done for me.❞

Linda groans. ❝We know, Mom, we know. And then Calvin Klein played at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance where you kissed for the first time and fell madly in love, Dad became super popular at school and became class president, and you lived happily ever after.❞

❝Why don't I go grab one of them? I think there's even a picture or two of Calvin in there. Have we ever shown you those photos, kids?❞

Marty shoots up off the couch like a rocket as his heart slams into his ribcage. ❝Shit, uh, I just remembered I was supposed to help Doc with something; I gotta go!❞

#doctober 2023 #i had a VERY interesting idea for this nostalgia prompt that leans heavily into au territory that i might start writing up for fun #another day but #have a little george/lorraine fondly remembering their son thirty years ago while he's right there #&; a great idea can change the world 「 hc 」 #wow isn't it so crazy that their son is best friends with calvin klein's uncle - doctor brown?? #wild how that works. #my first one where doc is only mentioned and it was weird to write considering that doc is my primary focus but #it was amusing nevertheless. #that au prompt though i'm SUPER excited to eventually flesh out hnnnnnnn #i want to expand on this someday and maybe write something also from that deleted scene where george looks at the image of calvin #and starts to suspect *something* is up #because that was an interesting take

[sri-rachaa]

Lovely gets lost at one of William’s parties and crosses paths with one of William’s old…uninvited acquaintances.

Some threatening themes, William swooping in to save the day.

-

Well, Vincent wasn’t lying when he said the soirée would be…extravagant.

Lovely wandered aimlessly, squeezing through what seemed like the never ending crowd of people. Somewhere along the line of the dozens of people who sparked a conversation with Vincent, he was whisked away from lovely-

And, well, now they can’t find him.

They awkwardly maneuvered in front and behind of the groups of people- vampires, most of them- desperately scanning through them all, looking to find Vincents familiar stature standing in the crowd-

They jumped at the sudden feeling of a hand resting on their back.

“Well, you look quite amiss”

Their eyes shot to the man towering behind them-

A vampire. A powerful vampire, aura blinding in a similar fashion to Williams.

Old blooded.

“Uhm…Just, lost my way a little, that’s all- but no worries, I’m back on my wa-“

“Now hold on just a moment.” He cut them off, shifting his hand from their back to gently cusping their forearm. “Well, aren’t you dashing…a beautiful little thing. Mmm, And, well, your scent is quite the wonderful as well.” He hunched over to close in on them, both hands tightly grasping their arm- only inches away at this point.

Lovely shifted, his grasp only growing tighter at their movement.

uh oh.

“I- I really have to go-“

He smiled, fangs almost reflecting the bright chandelier lights-

“Oh, sweet little darling…Surely You don’t have to go so soon…”

Lovely’s senses filled with the familiar sense of dread.

Fuck, Not again.

They tensed, squinting their eyes already wishing for it to be over with-

Please don’t, please don’t, Please don’t-

An arm grabbed them from behind, whisking them right out of the grasp of the other vampire.

Vincen- No.

It was William.

“Silas.”

“William”

Oh, great, they know eachother.

“Interested to find me here, Solaire? I must’ve missed the original invite, as I didn’t seem to get one-“

“For good reason, I assure you.” William spoke sternly, words lingering with a threatening sense Lovely’s never heard from him before.

They felt Williams grip on their shoulders shift.

“Little dear”

Lovely shot up at the sound of their nickname. Usually, a part of them would fluster and blush at the sound of it- though in the moment it struck another shot of fear through their system.

“Why don’t you go join Sam alongside the corner table, I’ll take things from here.” He softly said to them, reassuringly rubbing their arm where Silas’s hand mark remained.

They gulped.

“Oh…Okay…Alright.”

Lovely quickly took his offer, finally stepping away from the situation and taking one final glance back—

They were only able to see William’s expression for a brief moment before both him and Silas whisked away at vampiric speed;

Though, The malicious look in William’s typically gentle eyes may forever be encarved in their memory.

#redacted asmr #redacted audio #rae attempting to write the musical the series #also Silas is just a random character I made up purely for the sake of this writing blurb #….one day I might expand on him! Maybe! #one last thing for my blog shifts to imperium

[queer-ragnelle]

idk who needs to hear this but if you're writing an arthurian retelling and neglect gaheris...you are my enemy. either cut him entirely (like gillian bradshaw) or use him fully (like gerald morris) but under no circumstances are you allowed to dump his crimes onto agravaine and split. you're supposed to add depth, not shift the maximum two things he does narratively and leave him with nothing. gaheris did not put his whole pussy into his squire duties to be written off as the tagalong matricidal middle bro with zero personality traits to speak of. he's going on a high shelf until authors grasp this.

#the more retellings i read the more im like.....you didnt even try #hes just......there #and then they have agravaine kill morgause for some usually gross reason and gaheris might as well be a fly on the wall #not only should gaheris be the one to do it but setting it up ahead of time is non negotiable sorry #not in the way woolley or white did it for agravaine. if you know you know. #gaheris is lawful evil from day 1 and its so fascinating i want to study him like a bug and expand on it #put that guy in situations #dont be afraid to add stuff please make him engaging #he can still be introverted why is it only the extroverted characters who get depth #wheres our shy crazy people representation huh #gaheris is the posterboy lets goooooo

FROOTAYE FAVES SHOWCASE #001

@erindromeda's Video Game Music compilations!

My go-to whenever I'm looking for music to use in videos, ErinDromeda makes themed playlists using videogame music with a unique twist - each mix contains a story!

I really, REALLY appreciate how each playlist is labeled with a specific feeling, vibe, scenario. It's super helpful for my video making purposes! Most of the music in my videos has been found through an ErinDromeda mix, and I looove the variety of choice for anything you could need. You'll find both popular classics you could hear in any YouTube video, and obscure titles that you may have never of heard before!

I have to admit, I haven't been paying much attention to the story, but from what I've seen, It's genuinely interesting and fun. ErinDromeda uses videogame characters and adapts them to be parts of a large, continuous story that expands everytime a new mix is uploaded!

I discovered these playlists when one was recommended to me on the YouTube homepage - one of her more popular mixes, Video Game Music for Dancing in a Shopping Mall at 3AM! I enjoyed the variety and style, and ever since then I visit her channel whenever I'm in search of music for my videos.

For shorter versions of this and other FFS entries, check these out on twitter: https://twitter.com/frootaye/status/1647676584969531392
