THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; mun & muse - meme.

tagged by: i stole it tagging: Ok so this is really long, so don’t feel obligated if you don’t want to... @aerialarcher @bxstiae and @hatebred !

fill out & repost ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is: canon / oc / au ( dependent on verse ) / canon-divergent / fandomless

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO.

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.

Are they underrated? YES / NO. ( I can feel both, depending on my mood lol. For the most part, I think she’s just the right amount of rated. xD )

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO / MAYBE

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO / MAYBE ( She’s the Gerudo Chief and a champion. I’m guessing she’s the equivalent of a celebrity in Hyrule. )

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. ( Never saw an NPC have anything negative to say about her. )

How strictly do you follow canon? — I really try to stick to canon, but I can’t do that 100% or I really think I’d be bored LOL. There has to be some leniency. We don’t get a whole lot about Urbosa in canon anyway so that really allowed me to make her my own and do a lot of world building regarding her and the Gerudo too! What I mainly mean is, as far as my main verse goes, yes, I stick to the canon that we know of with my own added headcanons, but I also love love love trying out AUs and thinking the “what if”s in regards to her character. Like, yes, she’s this...but what if she was this instead?

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. — Urbosa is just...genuinely such a good person. She’s so kind and compassionate. She’s stern, but fair when it comes to her leadership and she honestly cares about her people and the people of Hyrule so much. She wants to make their lives better, she wants to protect people. She is unbelievably physically and magically gifted, like, she could crush just about anyone with a simple snap of her fingers and yet she makes a conscious decision to be kind and compassionate. It’s so easy to make friends with her (unless you do something to piss her off askdfjfd, but really, the only way to do that is to be rude or just generally not a good person).. she just...idk. She’s 100% someone I’d love to have as a friend and someone I’d want on my side. And as a bonus, she’s absolutely gorgeous.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). — I don’t know. I’m biased and totally love her. But some people might not? I wouldn’t get why though laksjdflsdf. Maybe they don’t like the “mom” character trope, or maybe her backstory could be quite...not as interesting as some of the other characters? Idk. She grew up pretty lucky compared to some of the others, not a whole lot of hardships, etc.

What inspired you to rp your muse? — I absolutely fell in love with her back when I played Breath of the Wild in 2017. Not only was she my favorite champion, but she very quickly became my favorite LoZ character ever, across any of the games. There was just something about her that pulled me in and slapped me with muse for her.

What keeps your inspiration going? — Talking to other muns ooc is probably the biggest one. If we can discuss headcanons and how our characters fit together, their relationship, all the world building stuff ooc then I promise you I will have an ANNOYINGLY large amount of muse for our threads lol.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? yes …? / NO. ( I think so, but I have very little confidence in my writing, so I doubt myself ALL THE TIME. )

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO. ( I write headcanons down as they come to mind. Sometimes that’s frequently and sometimes that’s not. )

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO. ( I really need to though. I have a few ideas in mind. )

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO. ( She’s muh queen. )

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO ( Ehhh... a little of both. Like I said above, I don’t have a lot of confidence so I’m always wondering if I’m messing her up or like....a big one I wonder is if I make her too nice. Like, according to canon she’s kind and compassionate, but idk. Sometimes I Wonder... )

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO. ( Again, a little of both. )

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO. ( I hate to admit it, but yeah... )

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal? — If it’s constructive and about my WRITING, then yes. Portrayal doesn’t matter to me too much. How a certain character might react in a situation is all subjective anyway and no two portrayals are ever gonna be the same. If you don’t like my portrayal, I ask that you don’t harp on me about it. Just don’t follow/unfollow and move on.

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character? — Yes! Especially when it’s about something I probably wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. It helps with growing Urbosa as a character.

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why? — Sure. I’m open to discussions, in case I missed something in canon, but if it’s something small like what time of day she prefers or something like that, we can agree to disagree.

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it? — Shrug. As I said above, portrayals are subjective. I mean, I might have my feelings a bit hurt because I work really hard with how I portray Urbosa, but that’s their opinion and it can’t be changed so whatever.

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? — Shrug. They’re entitled to their wrong opinion, alskdfjasdf. No, I’m kidding. I mean, I don’t get it but whatever?? You’re entitled to your opinion, just keep it very far away from me because she means a lot to me and I don’t wanna hear negative shit said about her. I have actually blocked someone over ( what I thought ) was unnecessary hate towards her in the past and won’t hesitate to do it again.

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors? — OH MY GOD, YES. In fact, if you ever notice a grammatical error I have made in a thread, please fix it. Just be nice about it.

Do you think you are easy going as a mun? — I think so? I’m pretty easy to get along with and I’m very much a “go with the flow” type of person. Very rarely do I dislike anyone on here and it’s usually because they’ve been disrespectful in one way or another, either to me or other people.

that’s about it, congrats for filling out!

#✤ ;; shut up jen (ooc)#✤ ;; leisurely activities (tag game)#phew this was long but really fun to answer actually

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is: canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO.

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.

Are they underrated? YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO (essentially could’ve still been trained by other visored) / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO.

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.

How strictly do you follow canon? —I try my best! I am still not really caught up on bleach. I stopped reading/watching after the Winter War, so I’m literally winging it with any other developments and posts. I am living my life with spoilers~!

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. — Hiyori has a very pure mind. Pure in the sense that she’s as straight as an arrow. What you see is what you get. She speaks/blurts out everything she feels. And if she doesn’t say it, you can still see it. Every emotion is written straight on her face. She could never really make a good liar and to that end-- if she is your friend, you know she’s really your friend. She’s the type that’ll treat your life as more valuable than her own. She’ll do everything in her power to protect you. Even if you are losing your mind or your sense of self, she will never stop being your friend. Loyal and comically tsundere at times, it’s almost like whiplash keeping up with her topsy-turvy emotions. But if you can, you will definitely be rewarded with someone strong, fearless and unflinchingly loyal at your side. Someone who will fight all your battles for you, no matter how impossible the odds appear.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). — I think most people agree that she is very violent. She hits people and her friends that do not actually deserve it. She never uses proportional force and it’s obvious that she has a multitude of issues that she has but never bothers to fix. She’s reliant on her friends to make her appear better than she is, because on her own, she would just be a violent goblin. But with her friends, she’s actually Hiyori. So in a sense, Hiyori has no actual sense of self without other people’s loyalty to her.

In addition, she’s not at all traditionally attractive like a normal bleach female. She’s mean and ugly and angry and easily triggered and most of the fandom think it was a cop-out to have her survive her bifurcation.

What inspired you to rp your muse? — Uhm... I always wanted to rp one of the visored. I loved their story the most- outcasts among the shinigami, hollow and humans. They were outsiders and their story feels the saddest to me. They are victims of a crime and yet, they do not behave like typical victims. They are all so vibrant (sorta!) and I love that about them. I also wanted to pick up a character that was uhh... violent? XD I have never written someone who was the complete opposite of me. I suppose it was to challenge myself. To rp someone who is always controversial and yet, still retain interactions.

What keeps your inspiration going? — I’ve really grown to adore Hiyori over the past year of rping her. I’ve always loved shiyori and have also managed to develop an amazing ship with @hirako5hinji and I love all their threads. I keep having so many new ideas and AUs for these two that I wish there were more hours in the day! I also love to develop different friendships with Hiyori. Her interactions with people that are shinigami, human and hollow- and how she perceives them in her mind with her blatant prejudice verses her actual nature of wanting connections... it’s such a good balancing act. ;u;

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO ( I wish I was caught up on bleach!).

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO.

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO. (Very rarely, but if I happen to think of a little scene or my writing muse is strong, I’ll do one. But I prefer interactions!)

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO. (Lmao, all day everyday I watch shows or outfits or have food and I’m always wondering what Hiyori might think of this XD.)

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO. (I’m still considered a bit new to the bleach fandom. Everyone has their worries!)

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO. (some replies I’m like wow and others I’m like why?)

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO. (gomen)

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal? — I do. I’m too old to worry about other people not liking my portrayal, but if they have something that they have an issue with or think I’m doing something totally wrong because I missed something in the manga- then I will accept it and incorporate it. =u= / I’m just winging it really and having fun!

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character? — Oh wow! I love those questions. It always makes me think and explore more cracks and crevices about my character and her feelings regarding such issues. I also love questions that eventually lead to a new headcanon for my character too! c:

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why? — Yeah, I love talking about Hiyori. Even if you’re disagreeing with me, I’ll love to hear it! TALK TO ME ;u;

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it? — Uhm... not sure? I think if they don’t like it then I hope they can unfollow me! I don’t want them to think this is wildly ooc and ruining the characterisation of Hiyori for them. ; - ; I would feel a little bad, but not bad enough to change my portrayal completely. Everyone has their own interpretation of a character and not everyone will have the same views or thoughts on it.

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? — Most people don’t really like Hiyori anyway so I’m chill as long as I got interactions. xD

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors? — Yes. Lol, I rush when writing and uhm, I’m the type that rarely edits my work until AFTER I post it. Both mun and muse are reckless and charge in blind then realise the damage after the thing has been done. orz

Do you think you are easy going as a mun? — Yeah. I have no energy to develop any conflicts with anyone lmao! I just love to rp and I actually enjoy reading nearly everyone’s threads. I wish I had the time to go through the entire dash and read every interaction, but now I limit my reading of the dash to when I’m online or if I love a thread and follow the replies. : > I love rping and I hope you guys have as much fun as me!!

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Three Hundred Thirty-One: Boiling Water ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]

Another day...another away basketball game. Which means a pretty empty classroom for the Home Ec group.

And Sasuke still has a lot on his mind regarding the class.

It’s true that he’s really enjoyed this semester. He had his doubts in the beginning. It has a bit of a reputation for being...well, girly. Of course, now he knows better. Sewing, cooking, cleaning...it’s not a girl thing, it’s a person thing.

While most of his classmates are underclassmen girls, they’ve subtly - in their own way - help impress just such a fact upon him. Doesn’t matter what you are. Got a hole in your shirt? You can fix it, just gotta know how. Need to make a dessert for a friend’s potluck? You can make one, just gotta know how! And literally everyone needs to know how to clean. Otherwise...you’re just gross.

In short, he went from one of those senior guys to a better equipped soon-to-be-adult. And also from someone rather intimidating in the class to the girls’ favorite person to fill in on gossip and ask opinions for. From scary upperclassman to adopted older brother of the class, really.

Well...for everyone except one person.

Hinata’s been...different. Mostly because she’s a senior, like he is. But also because she’s pretty much teacher number two. A copilot for the class, but especially for Sasuke. She helped him catch up in a variety of the class’s aspects, but especially cooking. Which his mother has been ecstatic about.

And over time, it’s become less about him learning from her, and more just...hanging out with her. They use free days to just...sit and cook things and talk. He hasn’t ever really had a friend like her before. Mostly he’s only ever just been commandeered into friendships like that with Naruto, or Shikamaru, or any of the other guys in their year. Any girls he’s met have generally been obnoxious and only wanted one thing from him.

...ironic then that the one he’s been able to tolerate and actually befriend...he’s been trying very hard not to feel more than that for.

He didn’t even mean for it to happen! It just...did! She’s so kind, and soft-spoken, and sweet...and she’s never treated him like the other girls have treated him. Like some kind of prey to be stalked and hunted down. It drives him up the wall...no, Hinata just treats him like anyone else. Like a friend.

And...and that’s what he wants.

...ugh.

It just so happens, too, that this entire conundrum is coming up as the semester is about to end. Technically Sasuke only needs one semester of this class to meet his requirements for graduation. And at the beginning of the year, he had assumed he’d be thankful once it was over. But now...he’s not so sure. And not just because of Hinata. He genuinely enjoys the class, and wants to stay.

There’s just one problem: his dad has been hounding him about taking as many “attractive” classes to colleges as he can. And needless to say that a Home Ec course doesn’t really do much for him in that regard.

Which leaves Sasuke in a bit of a bind. Does he ignore his father’s very obvious hinting and risk making him mad? Or does he abandon one of his favorite classes to please him (and whatever university ends up accepting him), making himself all the more miserable?

It’s been bugging him for a few weeks now...and he really isn’t sure what to do.

So...he decides to ask the one person he thinks he should.

“Another quiet day,” Hinata muses, letting her bag rest near the table she always sits at. “Well...want to cook something?”

Sasuke doesn’t reply at first, and her head tilts curiously.

“...Sasuke?”

“Could we maybe do something...else first?”

“Um...sure! What...what were you thinking?”

“I’d like some advice.”

Pale eyes blink in surprise. “...okay! Um...would you like some tea for while we...talk?”

“...yeah, that’d be nice.”

Nodding, Hinata fetches one of the Home Ec room’s kettles, filling it with water and letting it sit on the stovetop. “Is...everything okay?”

“Y’know how I mentioned changing classes the other day?”

“Oh...yeah. Still haven’t m-made a decision yet?”

His head shakes.

“Well, I...I don’t know if I’m really the person to ask, Sasuke.”

“I already asked my mom. She said I should stay.”

“...I take it you, um...you haven’t asked your dad?”

“No. I already know what he’d say. And...I didn’t want to risk bringing it up and having him make up my mind for me, y’know?”

“Yeah...I get that.” Going quiet for a moment, she seems to mull that over. “...what do you want to do?”

“...I want to stay.”

“...but?”

“But...I don’t want my dad to get angry. I don’t want to risk screwing up my college apps.”

“Will half a credit really make or break you…?”

“No. I don’t think so? I don’t know!”

Holding up a hand for a pause, Hinata lets the kettle build to a steady whistle before pouring two mugs of tea. “...here.”

“...thanks.”

“Let’s sit.”

Sasuke follows, holding his cup and not yet drinking. It’s almost more soothing just to hold it.

“...before, when we talked...you said you liked this class, right?”

“Yeah.”

“And that you...you already know your major, and...what kind of job you want?”

“I guess. It’s not really that I...want it? More just I guess it’s what I’ll do.”

Hinata’s eyes lower to the table, clearly thinking. “...do you...enjoy the things we do in class? Like...would you consider them hobbies, now?”

“...some of it? Cooking, yeah. I was kinda meh about it before, but...now I really like it. The rest is just useful.”

“...then I would stay, if I were you. Your dad can’t throw much of a fit about half a credit, right…?”

Sasuke sighs, a hand running back through his hair. “...I guess not. I just…” There’s a beat of hesitation. “...my dad’s pretty strict with my brother and I. Itachi’s already getting his undergrad in business this year, and he’s going on for a master’s. I don’t even think he wants to, he just feels like he has to because Dad pushed him into it. And then he started doing the same to me when Itachi started college.”

Hinata’s expression sobers. “...I know how that goes. My father and I, we...we had a big f-falling out when I was younger about what I wanted to do. When I told him I was going to take a year off...he told me he was cutting all support once I graduate.”

“What?!”

A nod. “He doesn’t think it’s proper. So I’ll be on my own. But I don’t have a plan...nothing’s ever felt that c-clear to me. I wanted the year to take and just...discover myself. See if...there was something I wanted to pursue.”

Sasuke’s brows furrow with a frown. “...I still say you do culinary stuff. You’re so good at it, Hinata! And you clearly enjoy it! Screw your dad and his snotty standards. Take a year, explore, and then go to culinary school. Look...I know there’s a pretty good program with the local community college. I bet you’d do great, and it wouldn’t be very expensive. Hell, I’d help you if I could.”

At that, her face slackens in surprise. “You...you really…?”

“You’re like...the nicest person I know. If your dad’s gonna treat you like that, it’s his loss, not yours. It’s your life, ‘nata. Do what you want with it.” Sasuke takes a gulp of tea in a spike of temper, feeling it burn down his throat. “...and if you open that baker you talked about? I’ll come work for you - do your books and stuff. Doesn’t matter what I’m doing otherwise. I’d do it.”

“But...w-why…?”

“Cuz you’re my friend. And I want to support you. Look...I know it’s only been a semester, but...you’re one of my best friends. Maybe even my best friend. So what kinda friend would I be back if I didn’t do that much, huh?”

To his own surprise, her jaw trembles, tears beading along her lids. “No one’s...n-no one’s ever...told me that before. Just...said I should do it.”

“Then you need to find better people to be around,” he mutters stubbornly.

“...thank you, Sasuke. Heh…” She dashes at her eyes with a sheepish smile. “...this was supposed to be advice for you...not me.”

“Hey, it’s a two-way street. I’ll stick to the class. That much we pretty much already knew anyway, right?”

“...right.”

Sasuke’s eyes flicker between her own, which stare a bit somberly at the table. “...it’ll be fine, Hinata. Besides, we’ve got a whole semester before we graduate. You can make some plans between now and then. Just...forget your dad and his attitude. It’s all gonna work out.”

“...I hope so.” Finally looking up, she gives him a rosy-cheeked smile. “...I’m glad you’re staying. It...it means a lot to me to have you to talk to, and just...y’know...hang out with. Is...is that lame?”

“...nah, it’s not lame at all.”

.oOo.

(This is a sequel to days 98, 108, 139, 227, 284, and 301!) Heyyy, guys - sorry for the unexpected two day break. But uh...I'll talk more about that below for anyone wondering. For now, about the drabble! We're back in the Home Ec verse! I love this one, for a couple of reasons. Mostly cuz it's just so domestic and slice-of-lifey, y'know? It's relaxing, even when writing more stressful parts for them like this one. I dunno. It's just nice xD Not really a full 'story' per se since not much really...HAPPENS. But it's one of my favorite series. Anyway, a lil behind-the-scenes for a second, which comes first with a little warning: the rest of the year is going to be VERY busy for me due to some irl changes happening this month. The next two weeks especially, but it'll probably drag on until at least the new year...I dunno. But in short, I've been missing so many days the last few weeks because life is REALLY stressful, and I've just been too tired. Add in that I have a chronic illness to deal with, and just...yeah. I get behind and have to take breaks. And honestly I'm getting very burnt out by a whole year of writing an average of 1500 words A DAY. For reference's sake, this challenge JUST past 500,000 words. And I also did SHM, which was another 30,000, and ANOTHER ship month which was 75,000. That's over 600,000, and that's not counting other side projects I've done. So yes, I write other things too, but that makes this challenge all the more...well, challenging. For reference, today's prompt was for November 27. That's how far behind I've gotten. But there's just...really not much I can do about it, sadly. I don't have time to make them up, and likely will just have to drag the event out past December 31. Then on top of that there's organizing all the mini series for AO3, and just...yeah. I'm gonna need a LONG break once that's done before I even THINK of taking on all the projects I want to that will stem from this challenge. SO, in short...just please be patient with me ;w; I'm doing my best, and in the end - as much as I love this - it IS just fanfiction. Real life has to come first. So I hope you'll bear with me for the last few weeks, and then the much-needed hiatus once it's over to recup before hopefully turn some of these into proper fics. We'll see how life goes. But, that's enough rambling out of me! I just thought I'd elaborate a bit in case anyone was curious. I'm all right, just...very busy and stressed ^^; So I'll just have to take this challenge as I can. But thanks to everyone sticking with it. I appreciate it! On that note, though...I better go. Thanks for reading!

*pokes the Kitteh* You know those writer asks? *Grins evilly* Do all of them.

I SWEAR TO ALL THAT’S UNHOLY, MEG!!!!

It just comes and goes, like a goddamn wave.

7. Do you listen to music to help you write?

YES ALWAYS

8. What’s the biggest “challenge” for you as a writer?

Keep shit together. It stems from the fact I can’t write linear to save mylife so putting together a million or so scenes to make one coherent story isthe biggest challenge for me.

9. Where do you usually go to write (bedroom, livingroom, etc.)?

I either steal some time at work or write in the living room.

10. Can you give us a sneak peek on your current WIP?

Sure! Have some mer!AU:

“Until one day, somethingchanges. it’s almost closing time at the aquarium, and he’s been in the back ofthe tank, lingering in the shadows for the better part of the day. The visitorswere especially noisy today, constantly poking and knocking at the glass, thevibrations rattling his bones.

He’s glad for the comfort the man-made structures ofhis tank provide, where the artificial lights aren’t as bright, aren’t aspainful on his eyes.

Someone stops near his house and home and he grimaces,waits for the knocking to start.

None does for the longest of time - the announcementto hurry up and leave blaring through the aquarium already - and finally, cautiously,he peeks out. There’s a boy in front of his tank, his image distorted by glassand water alike but he’s simply standing there, patient and silent andunmoving.

And so he swims out, shows himself as he is becausehe’s suddenly curious about this bubble gum-colored twig of a boy.

Once he’s up close, he sees that the boy looks likethe seashells he dreams about sometimes - he’s all cream and pink, with sharp,sharp edges he wants to test his fingers against.”

11. How many stories have you written so far?

AO3 has 27 works, but there’s a bunch over at ff.net as well and over atlivejournal, not to mention the ones I never published anywhere. Consideringhow productive I was during my JRock phase and my anime/manga years, I think itcircles between 100-150 so not overly much?

12. What’s your favorite thing that you ever wrote?

Ruins.

“and amidst the ruins, there was you” hands down. There are no words todescribe how much I love that story and how proud I am of both myself and thefic.

13. How many chapters does your longest series has?

“Anywhere” takes that particular title with 24 chapters.

14. What’s your favorite character/person to write for?

Aiveana Yumi are always a pleasure to write when it comes to OCs, and Tonyis just SO good to write for I want to die.

15. “OCs” or “Reader”inserts?

OCs!!! I love those ;.;

16. Can you tell us anything about your current WIP?

The one currently being posted? Soulmate AU where one part of the bondedpair believes he is soulmate-less and the other hates the concept of beingbonded with a passion.

17. How long was the longest fic you ever wrote?

That’s…. that’s probably the Jointverse. That one clocks in with 149 528 words and I probably shouldmentioned that it covers about half ofthe canon timeline so far….

18. What fandoms do you write for?

🌸 🌹 🌻 🍀 🌱 🌲 🌴 🌵 🍁 💐 🌿

Munday Symbols!

Thank you for sending! Also wow so many!

🌸 = my roleplay petpeeve

Hmm. Well, this isn’t quite a peeve, and it’s not really a thing I hate, but, something that gets me nervous and/or confused everytime?People not liking things. Like, I sure understand where it comes from, to not clog up your likes or anything (though tbh, can that even work? I doubt I’d ever manage to keep my likes to a low number anyway) or maybe some other reason too, but whenever I answer an ask of someone, especially IC-wise, as in an actual RP-starter or drabble or whatever; or worse a starter or something, and they don’t ‘like’ it, I mentally start going crazy about it. Did they not like it? Should I have done something different? Maybe they never saw it? Did they just not ‘like’ it because they don’t do that? Do they still appreciate (and maybe want to continue) it? Should I IM them and ask, or is that a taboo and like pushing them or being clingy or whatever?Like, ugh. So much worried thoughts over something as simple as a tiny heart-button.

🌹 = my opinion on your character

I like Terra a lot! I always felt for her, and her story was so painful and sad and I so much wished for her to regain (or show) her memories after she appeared again as a schoolgirl, and for her to return to the Titans! It was shocking to learn that many people outright hate her, and yeah, what else can I say? Cool girl, sad happenings, she deserved more!

🌻 = a character I wish to write with

I’m trying to not name who I’d usually name here, so I’ll name Cyborg! It’s such a pity that he doesn’t seem to exist as RP-char? Like every other of the main 5 is here with one or more blogs, and other characters too, but I’ve never really seen too much of (a) Cyborg around!

Also: Mar’i please!

🍀 = a ship I wish to write

Two again mention two, I mentioned Red X with Blackfire in my shipping-info-posts recently, and of course there’s never enough RobStar (and for a third I technically mentioned Jericho with Wildfire too, though basically I only want a Joey to write with and it doesn’t have to be/become a ship in that way); but to name something else, hmm... no, sorry, I actually can’t think of any particular ship! I definitely wanna do more in regards to shipping though, going for any (or at least most) of my muses, I feel like I’m really bad at it (or maybe I simply haven’t gotten the chance to try too much with it yet) and I’d really like to change that. But since I tend to take a while to ‘feel’ a ship, maybe I’m just not supposed to.

🌱 = a plot I want to write with you

Well, to a thing I wrote about it (or was it a meme I reblogged?) you said that you were interested in, or willing to, do a power-switch thing with me, so my first idea is that!

🌲 = if I ship our characters together

I... never really considered it much? I mean, I think we may have talked about it before so I considered it in some way, but not ‘really’ I guess (if you understand what I mean)? I assume it is just as possible as it is with any of the other Titans, since they were close, so I guess I’m open to trying? Like stated above, I tend to have a difficult time with ships so my apologies for not answering this any better!(And I’m assuming you don’t want answers for my other muses here - wouldn’t be any surprising answer anyway I guess, since with Blackfire she’s more on a ‘enemy’-relationship and, unless you count some memes [or maybe only one that was an actual RP-situation? I don’t really remember that well xD] that I think you sent to Wildfire a while ago, Terra hasn’t met any of my other muses. As for with your Dark!BB, we’re kinda working on getting him and Nega!Star together so I can see that and definitely wanna continue our trying; and the others probably no since enemy for Star and Blackfire isn’t really interested in one looking just like one of the Titans - though here like for any other combinations of our muses, I don’t mind trying it if you want)

🌵 = a disliked canon character in my fandom

Like said in the previous answer I gve to the meme, I hope I understand this right by stating someone of canon that I dislike. Though, since I don’t really have anyone I’d say I ‘dislike’, I’m gonna go with ones where I’m just ‘meh’ about.

And the next one to mention there would be... General Immortus, I guess, at least he’s the next one I can spontaneously think of.

🍁 = my opinion on multimuse blogs

They’re okay! Which probably doesn’t sound too positive, but I don’t know how to better word it! Like, sure, I may not be into all of their muses, but as long as they don’t like fill my dash with 1834653490437 posts all at once (or within like half an hour) for all of their characters or something, I don’t really mind it if a blog has more than one muse!

On that note, I’m terrible at choosing though (both my own muses or others), so that always brings me a bit to a difficulty in regards to sending stuff to multimuse-blogs - not that I’m too good at sending stuff to people in the first place.

💐 = my favorite part about the fandom

The art was what I mentioned in the previous answer, next... well, uh. That there are still people RPing from the cartoon, when it has been gone for a good while already! I was so happy to find people here to share my obsession love for TT with!

🌿 = my least favorite part about the fandom

I don’t think this is really about this one fandom, as I believe it is the case almost everywhere, but: Ship wars. I assume they had been stronger when the show was on, but when I find in the tags how people insult characters because they are in, or people because they ship, a different ship than what they themselves prefer for a character, it’s just stupid. Stupid and childish. Just let people do what they want, and if you feel the need to bash another character to show how good your ship is? You’re doing something very wrong.

I appreciate your support and all of your kind words and questions, so much!

You can read individual review replies below! :)

Longpig: Actual Disney Princess Lotor ™. I just love the concept. Haha, I’m glad you do too!

Carol_Pau: Thank you for your kind review! I’m not usually one for romance movies myself, but Pride and Prejudice really stood out to me. I totally agree it’s fantastic! And ahhh, I’m so happy you enjoyed Lance’s tears, haha. feel like Lance would be the type of person who would cry during movies, because he’s just so open about his emotions, even when he tries not to be. As far as other ships, some might come into play. Zonerva (Zarkon/Honerva) will definitely affect the plot going forward. But that’s about the only ship that I can really guarantee at this point. I can guarantee that James Griffin will at least appear in TSL. Thanks again for reviewing!

UltraFirelily: Thank you for reviewing as always! I’m so glad you liked Disney Princess Lotor! He’s a precious bab, and I don’t think even Lance or Romelle can entirely deny that, haha. Thank you again for your kind words and support!

Veronica: Heya, thanks for letting me know about the name change, and for providing your ongoing support for this story! I am doing better now and trying to move past the events of last fall, although sometimes I still get down about it. I’m not letting it keep me down, though! I appreciate your kind words so much!

Anything_past_or_present: Ahh, TSL Lotor really does need all the cuddles he can get! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the silliness of this latest chapter—I love to see the paladins and Lotor having fun, and it was such a blast to write it, haha. Thank you for reviewing and providing support as always! It means a lot!

EtherealPrince: Bless you for enjoying the platonic Lotor and Pidge shenanigans! I’ll admit when I started TSL, it was purely with Lotura goals in mind. Since then, I’ve really come to enjoy writing the paladin shenanigans and Lotor and Pidge’s friendship. In fact, I probably enjoy writing that as much as I do Lotura, haha. I’m so glad you enjoy it too! Thanks again for reviewing!

Shorthairedme: Thank you for your review and support! Introduce Lotor to the wonders of cake, you say? What kind of cake? Maybe ALL the cakes? He’s skin and bones, so I think he could afford the extra calories at this point, haha. XD Thanks for the idea!

Hallowhead: Thank you for reviewing! I appreciate your kind words and your support! Here’s to more Disney Princess Lotor in the future!

Mutedtempest: I think you’re wonderful too! Thank you so much for your support and kindness. It means so much to me! And I’m so glad to hear you’re still enjoying the story. I hope future chapters continue to provide you a good time! And yas, I do love me some good Lotor and animal bonding time too! I hope you’re doing well, and thanks again for your review!

SpinningGround: Oh, thank you so much for your well wishes. I am doing better and trying to move past the, uh, past, haha. TSL has been a good outlet for me. And ahh, that’s hilarious that you identify with Keith in this situation of having to watch romance movies! I’m very picky about them myself. I’ve been so amused that Lotor’s voice actor, AJ, said at a recent convention that romance movies would be Lotor’s favorite. Poor Keith might have to deal with more than just Pride and Prejudice, haha. Anyway, thank you again!

GabsSherri: Muito obrigado! ^_^

TIffanyBlue: Thank you for your kind words! Yes, it does seem that no matter the platform, social media has the problem of no moral or personal accountability for words spoken anonymously. I tried to be as understanding as possible despite how the tumblr posts/reviews escalated into something exceptionally violent and personal (and illegal), because I knew there were real human beings in that mess somewhere. I just hope no one else ever has to deal with that! The whole event still leaves me in a state of loss and awe, especially over a story that was going to end in slave!Allura taking down Zarkon’s empire and turning Lotor to her side? (I figured I could spoil it for you here, since you mentioned interest in it, and spoilers just don’t matter anymore, haha.) But regardless, I will not let the past year keep me from enjoying writing, or from interacting with you all. I very much appreciate your reviews and support through these chapters for TSL. It means so much to me!

That_emo_kid_in_the_corner: Thank you for your review! And you give very sound advice about media, haha. I appreciate your support! (And I’m so glad you like Disney Princess Lotor haha.)

PetulantPanda: Oh, the space dust was everywhere for me as well! Thank you as always for your reviews!

Sophiebystarlight: Thank you for your kind review! Your note made my week great. I hope you’re having a great week as well!

Garbage_dono: Ahhh, thank you so much for your review and your well wishes. I am slowly getting to a better place, haha. And I hope you enjoy where I take Honerva’s character in TSL. She was my favorite thing to come out of s8, and I want to do right by her. She’s a very fascinating big bad and just in general a really intriguing character. Thanks again for your support!

Nagisa94: Congrats on the new AO3 account! I’m happy to see you’re still around in the fandom as well! Things are getting better now and hopefully will stay that way now that VLD is complete. I would absolutely LOVE for Lotor to adopt Pidge? Or for Pidge to adopt Lotor? Either way, haha. And I think as far as Romelle goes, VLD did her character a bit of an injustice by not having her grow or evolve in any way, for as important as she was to the s6 plot. Even though she’s still a bit of a background character in TSL, I hope to show evolution in her character along with the other. Thanks so much for reviewing, as always! I really appreciate it.

Teehee: Bwahaha, I hope you eventually got around to reading the chapter and enjoying it. Bless you for your scream of excitement. And thank you for your kind words as well. <3

AfroditeOhki: LOL, bless you for your bullets of things you enjoyed about this chapter! I’m so glad you like the Lotor and Pidge dynamics. I enjoy writing their friendship as much as I do writing Lotura even, haha. You mentioned batter fights and shampoo wars and animal magnet Lotor, and all I can say is YES PLEASE. Thank you for your review!

NickyADon: Thank you for your review, as always! I’m so happy you thought I captured Keith and Lance’s bickering correctly, haha. I love them both and how they needle each other in so many ways. Regarding s8, I ended up laughing with a few people that I predicted the most unlikely things of all via the dead and decayed Lotors in chapter 1, haha. I hope you managed to survive the season okay. Thanks again for your ongoing support! It means so much!

Ángela: Oh, wow. Thank you so much for your well-wishes, and your kind note about dropping TSL if it would make me feel better. I’ll admit, I have days where it’s really hard for me interact with VLD content or think about writing Allura. I had a lot of chats with some professionals about the harassment experience and whether I handled the accusations correctly. I think in the end, I feel good about how I responded with taking down the story in question, as a sign of good faith that I’m not trying to hurt or trigger anyone. I just wish they would have seen the story in its full to understand it had a nuanced plot ultimately moving toward an empowered Allura and eye-opened Lotor. But, oh well. Thank you again for caring about my well-being, even at the expense of possibly losing a story! In good news, I don’t imagine I’ll be deleting TSL anytime soon! Lotor is definitely a trooper in this story for putting up with all that he does, haha. And yes, I fully believe Lance could cry in front of the other paladins, and they’d understand! I really enjoy the deep bonds of friendship that the paladins have together. Thank you again for your ongoing support and reviews!

Touched: Bless you for your kind words! Your review put a smile on my face and gave me a helpful sense of peace. I really appreciate that. Thank you so much for your support!

DestiniesEntwined: Bwahaha, bless you for being an Allura nagging Lotor over the tea. It’s appreciated, and I thank you. And ahh, no one’s ever compared me to Hunk before, but I got a huge smile from that. I adore Hunk and take that as a serious compliment. Thanks so much!

Dash: Thanks for reviewing! And no worries about the question, haha. As it turns out, I do have a few drabbles of Lotor watching other movies with the paladins, which you can find here on tumblr. At present, I have one where he watches The Mummy, and another with Indiana Jones. I’m not certain when I’ll continue this miniseries further, but I do very much appreciate your interest in it and any requests you might have for a movie or show!

StarrBryte: Thank you for your review! I’m so glad you’re still enjoying the story!

VeronikaR: Hello! In good news, I haven’t stopped writing yet, haha. And I hope to keep writing for a long time still. Thank you so much for your review and support! I really appreciate it.

Lady_Experiment: *reserves spot to reply later* >8D (If you did end up reading ch 10 by now, I hope you enjoyed it, bwahaha.)

LordMortem: Ah, your review made me feel blessed! Thank you so much for your kind words.

Miss_Lily: Thank you for keeping up the hope that I would someday update, haha. Apologies that chapter 11 has been slow coming as well. But it’ll be here soon! I’m so happy you enjoy cinnamon roll Lotor (with a dark past haha). I really have fun writing his character within the parameters of the clone!theory. And Romelle—I’m still kinda working to understand her character since she became such a minor or even forgotten character in s7 and s8 haha. I hope to do her justice here as well. Thanks again for your review!

Discordia_s_Novelist: Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed this latest chapter, and I really appreciate your support!

Ahyeon: I’m glad you enjoyed the update! And yeah, people are questionable sometimes, haha. But I’m doing better now! Thanks again for your kind note.

Reyechan: Bwahaha, have I taken a spot on your mind couch? That’s fantastic! I love fluff as much as I love angst and action and everything else, so I had a lot of fun with the last chapter and am so happy to hear you enjoyed it too. And thanks for your support in regards to criticism of work. Your words mean a lot to me!

KairaB: I very much appreciate your sweet review and your support! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Lotura flirting and brownie batter scene—those parts made me giggle to write, because I was having fun too, haha. And ahh, if Lotor ever sees that picture from Pidge, I’m sure his heart would have a skipping moment. XD Regarding S8, I did see it and had been waiting for more information about Honerva before I wrote her further. So you’ll definitely see s8 elements as we move forward. Thank you for the warm welcome back to the fandom!

Amanda: Haha, no need to apologize for real life! I completely understand how things get busy. But thank you so much for returning to read and review as always! I’m coming to understand the importance of taking care of myself, and a part of that was realizing how much creative writing means to me, and how I shouldn’t let anyone take that away from me. I might still need to take breaks at times, but for now, I’m steaming forward with TSL and AR. I’m so happy you loved this latest chapter! I hope you continue to enjoy future updates, and thanks again for your ongoing support!

Tsuyu Ryu: Thank you for your interest in my story! I know Lotor’s canon arc was not quite what a lot of people hoped to see, and I struggled with it as well due to the plot holes behind the whole instigator for his death and his subsequent, unexplained s8 redemption as a good-ish guy by Allura who hated him? Haha. I hope to provide him a little more consistency in TSL at least, and I hope to continue making Romelle a likeable character in some way. Thank you again for your review and your support!

Little_Sarafina: Bless you for leaving a review, when I know just how easy it is to remain a silent reader only, haha. (Guilty as charged in many fandoms.) Thank you so much for your kind words about this story. I really appreciate it!

Pen: Oh, wow, thank you for your high praise! I feel humbled by that and am so glad you enjoyed the chapter. I appreciate your kind words and support!

Ukellyle: Thank you for the compliment on TSL Lotor! I try really hard to keep him within the realm of his canon character, even though his circumstances in TSL are vastly different. It’s a struggle, so I’m happy you like him! Thank you for the review!

Katicab: You binged all these chapters in two days? Well bless your heart for your dedication, haha. Thank you for your kind words! There’s so much expanse within Lotor’s character—I have a lot of fun exploring what he would do in any given situation. I do try to keep him from being OOC, though, and sometimes that’s hard with hurt/comfort haha. I’m glad you enjoy this! Thank you again for your review!

Barbitone: Thanks for your reviews! Sorry I ripped your heart out at one point, haha. Lotor does that to me as well. XD

Rosenthorne: Hello, and thank you for reading and reviewing. Wow, you read it all at one time—that’s impressive considering how much I ramble while writing. XD I appreciate your kind words and hope you like where the plot goes with Honerva’s appearance in chapter 11!

KokoaKirkland: Thank you for your review!

Ammaviel: Ahh, I hope you have survived! Thanks so much for your review!

COCO_HIMECHAN: Thank you so much for both your high praise in your AO3 review and in your message here on Tumblr! Apologies I’ve not gotten to the tumblr message yet—I’ve been sequestered working on chapters, haha. My hope is to catch up on my tumblr inbox after I update. Please know your kind words mean so much to me, and thank you for your support!

Ccdancer2003: Ahh don’t cry! *Offers a tissue and a blankie and some chocolate.* Lotor melts my heart a little too, haha. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Kaytoko: Thank you for your review and for your compliments on how I write the paladins! I really enjoy Hunk as a character and want to do right by him, haha. He’s such a precious cinnamon roll! I appreciate your support!

Blah: Yooooooo. XD Hey, thanks for reviewing, even if you thought the story was sad, haha.

Pinkychan: Thank you for reviewing! Haha, I’m so glad you liked that brownie batter and chocolate virginity scene. I feel like the paladins would definitely have these kinds of inside jokes and teasing all the time. XD I’m hoping the paladins can introduce Lotor to other Earth things—so if you have any requests there, let me know. Thanks again!

Cherryqueem: Ah, yes, s8 was definitely a heavy-hitting season. I’m so happy you found what you were looking for in my story. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Etienne18: Bless you for continuing to participate in the fandom even after s8, and ahhh it means so much that you’ve chosen to re-read my story! Slow burn Lotura is definitely a favorite of mine. I’m glad you enjoy it too! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Lucyrne: Oh, thank you so much for your high praise on Allura and Lance’s characterization! I really do love Allura, and I think the canon series didn’t give her a chance to actively reflect on the avalanche that was s6. I think it would have been natural for her to have conflicted feelings for Lotor, even in knowing what he had done. I think in a better world, Allura would have understood the political implications of killing an emperor in secret—and would have wanted a guilty!Lotor to pay for his crimes the right and open way, through a court trial before the universe. That’s the Allura I was trying to channel in chapter 1, and I’m so glad you enjoyed her conflict and her ultimate decision! And for as much as a lot of people rag on Lance, I really like that boy. I think he’s precious for a lot of reasons, haha. XD Regarding Lotor, I really try to portray stories of abuse in a serious manner, because I know so often it’s not treated that way, and in doing so hurts people. I’m glad you found my portrayal satisfactory! And for real, thank you so much for all of your wonderful reviews as you read through the story up to this point. I really appreciate it!

Analyticamethyst: Bless you for binging this story, omg haha. For as much as I love Lotura, I equally adore platonic bonding between Lotor and other characters and am so glad you enjoy that too. The dude needs positive friendships desperately, haha. Thank you so much for your review!

EV_Oleander: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I hope you enjoy future chapters as well!

Qwennie_simon: Thank you for your compliments and for your support! :)

Hiccstridlover14: Oh, wow, that is a high compliment. The Lotura archive contains many great stories, so it means a lot to me that you would place this one so high on your list. Thank you so much for reading and for your support!

Lehbarnes: Oh, thank you for reading both Second Law and Adrenaline Rush! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy these stories, and I really appreciate you reviewing. Thank you!!

NotEriX: Oh my goodness, bless your heart for binging this in one go and staying up super late into the night to read, at the expense of valuable sleep. I do hope you managed to get some sleep after that! And I really appreciate your high compliments in regards to my emotion/humor cadence. It’s harder in some situations than others, but I try not to let one be completely unchecked by the other. I find that real life is a curious balance of both, and often at the same time, haha. Anyway, thank you again for your kind review and support!

GrapeIcies: Thank you for reviewing! And yeah, the canon show could never seem to decide whether Lotor’s ultimate ethos was a sly, genocidal maniac or actually just a good person stuck in an impossible Trolley Problem. I agree that the result was a sticky mess from which I could see no consistent atonement/justice (if he were truly guilty) or genuine redemption of his character (if he were truly innocent/an ultimately good antagonist or antihero). Through TSL, I hope to offer a deeper exploration into and progressive evolution of Lotor’s character. TSL might not always have Lotor getting therapy and lots of hugs, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to show his full range. Thank you again for your review!

Durolin: Oh wow, thank you for your very kind words! Your review put a smile on my face and inspired me to trudge through a bout of writer’s block. I really appreciate your review and support!

this is a post with (excited) personal thoughts over akihiko’s p3d characterization. mass spoilers ahoy

a week ago i wrote a super short post of my impression of akihiko in p3d. essentially: do you ever feel validated having your favorite actually written well for once? that AND he’s pretty similar to how you roleplay him to boot? considering how physically shitty i’ve felt, p3d made the time i spent playing SUCH a good one!!! i’m so thankful

expect an explanation on these points and on my own interpretation x) i will do my best not to talk about every little thing (and fail)… some things are better off secret, anyway. let us begin!!!!

admittedly, a lot of topics brought up in akihiko’s social i’ve thought about (some almost embarrassingly so that i won’t mention them) or reminded me of stuff i wrote myself or in threads. obviously not to a T, but the ideas are similar in nature. like, i got reminded of my threads with loversquiver (excuse me? mystic red?) when akihiko and yukari interacted. how she’d be curious about him and they get to know one another, but their convos quickly become awkward asdhsdfh

or when junpei and akihiko interacted… honestly, it reminded me of how i’ve desired a sexuality thread (i’ve tried starting at least one in the past, even bringing up junpei for comparison)… when junpei asked minato why akihiko can’t get a girl, my headcanon blared: ‘he’s aroace duh!!!’

—but also… i felt called out when junpei said akihiko could ‘win a girl over’ if there was something about him like a flaw that’d surprise them since FFFFFFFF yeah that was what won me over when i played P3P for the first time. you got me

that aside, as a roleplayer i have touched on akihiko maintaining his image and attempts to keep weaknesses a secret, so it’s yoooooo that the game focused on his perfection, yet akihiko (secretly his own worst enemy if his P3P social link has anything to say about that) knows nobody is perfect.

not only that but also p3d takes it further with akihiko saying that’s what makes people interesting, as well as tying that into his self-improvement motif. i’m love

(lol akihiko being the shit-talking type. that was great)

moving on. so… the convo with fuuka… ooh baby.

i’ve a headcanon (inspired by P3P) that akihiko doesn’t understand reasonable portions, and this essentially shone through their conversation dhgdhfjgdj— but, also, p3d made akihiko knowledgable in addition, bringing up the amount of calories foods have and converting them to how much to work off. impressive!!

not only that, the game hit two? three? birds with one stone in my eyes: bringing up cooking. he doesn’t have the skills. he wouldn’t make a girl do it for him, and that he’d like to learn. THIS IS MY SHIT. i’ve wanted this!!!!!!

i never roleplayed with a fuuka, but a few months ago i wrote a drabble about him and fuuka trying to learn (and another drabble with him telling hamuko he’d want to learn), so i hHHHGGHN. p3d took this up a notch tho by making akihiko weird, which i have no qualms with because he is, just not solely via XD protein.

learning akihiko’s thoughts and how he treats his trophies were soo nice… like i love how thoughtful and respectful this made akihiko out to be. it makes me want to look up to him even more, you know? he is peculiarly a sentimental guy (as also shown by his red convo with yukari) even through rationalism, so this addition? *chef’s kiss*

and akihiko’s relationship with mitsuru shown in the social for both theirs reminded me soo much of older sister/younger brother siblings. like how i imagined it? because, aside from knowing each other for years, you can tell they cared for each other but also annoyed one other (and familiarly so, you know what i mean?) and bickered, plus how mitsuru lectured him and said something along the lines of ‘i have no objections at the moment’ in regards to his plans, like? why are you sounding so authoritative asfsdgh

not to mention how akihiko booted himself out of his own room to flee after going too far ashgsdfs

also, i’ve realized before how you never really know akihiko’s thoughts on mitsuru, so him being blunt and even straight up calling minato stupid at the notion of them dating, in front of mitsuru was HGFDJHGFJH. but equating mitsuru and minato as ‘comrades’ was the best answer because.. well, otherwise they did behave as coworkers/teammates, even rivals. you saw that in their dancing. that was how i usually saw them as, besides metaphorical siblings and the like.

extra: i thought it was funny how akihiko also retaliated by mentioning mitsuru’s dorm room full of furniture because that was something i’ve joked over before, considering how her bed is right next to them. and also: akihiko’s plans in regards to going to college? p4a sure fucked that one up ASDFSG

so tl;dr… he’s a good sport. akihiko is so knowledgeable but also considerate towards others that he mostly does dial it back when necessary, when he notices. he’s strangely sentimental yet respectful, not like… a sore winner or what have you, and he has a pretty open mind. he’s very into self-improvement, and getting to interact with everyone and dancing makes him appreciative of the event, that it broadens his horizons. i was always fond of the theme of akihiko broadening horizons in order to grow. good shit.

and as a roleplayer? i’m happy that i could, at the very least, pull off a similar aura with characterization. i don’t want to sound conceited, but if i had to be honest, you know… nonetheless, it’s nice, and unexpected, to feel good about how i write through playing p3d sgfdhfds i worked so hard for years, and then to have atlus finally deliver the goods…

on top of that, it reminded me so much of my fellow partners at times. all the good times. you guys know who you are x)

otherwise, i’m happy we get to see akihiko interact with his kouhai, with aigis. how the game utilizes ken to having akihiko bring up his own childhood (brilliant). and seeing his relationship with mitsuru outside of SEES was much needed.

#ooc:text #i'm about to sleep i just wanted to. clear my mind #feel free to hmu over this #since this is an akihiko blog it feels fitting

Fifteen study dates | 15-day prompt challenge | Sweet Pea/OC | Day 13

AN: These are so close to the finish line… I’m sad to see them end :’) I hope that everyone enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed writing them :D

Info:

Fandom: Riverdale Pairing: Sweet Pea/OC Rating: T Word count: 1510 Chapter count: 13/15

Debate? Apparently, a turn-on

Riverdale High was very different from South High. To begin with, the meticulous campus and the perks of a more affluent neighborhood area’s school were numerous. Everything worked, for once, much to Sweet Pea’s shock. He could go to the bathroom in between classes without worrying about flooding the whole floor. Also, he didn’t have to pack lunch but could get something from the nearby stores, vending machines or even a small eatery down the road. It wasn’t that expensive either. He loved computer lab now, as he could actually use a proper, working PC instead of carrying his own beat-up laptop to school and guarding it with his life for the whole day. There was a basketball team, too. A proper, not streetball, but basketball team. They actually competed, too. He’d immediately signed up for it.

But, with all the perks came a certain level of work you were required to do in order to pass classes. There was no more storming off when he got bad news about something. There was no more fighting in the hallway. There was no more tagging his locker. There were no more Serpents, Ghoulies and the hazy in-between. There were school uniforms and preppy, expensive clothes. Sweet Pea hated the uniforms with passion. They’d forced him into a pair of waist-high pants and a turtleneck to cover his Serpent tattoo. He loathed the uniforms. Yet, unlike Fangs, he had rolled over like a good boy and worn the ugly thing to class, despite the humiliation.

Ruby had easily fit in, much to his annoyance. She’d pulled out a peppy outfit, clearly bought at the mall and not the dollar store, and worn it like she was completely at home. The girl had noticed his discomfort with the idea of wearing a uniform, though. So, she’d suggested an idea he hadn’t thought would work. Yet, Sweet Pea was willing to try anything, especially if it could both get rid of the ugly uniforms and get him a better grade. With the help of the petite girl, he’d volunteered for the debate Riverdale afterschool club. The topic was student-suggested and would be presented in front of the students and staff alike. They had chosen the question of school uniforms being a good or bad idea. Or, as the official title went - Should uniforms in schools be abandoned?

“I’ve got five points, but I can’t think of any more,” Sweet Pea grumbled as he and Ruby sat in the student lounge of Riverdale High, tossing his notebook at the girl. She caught it without looking up from her phone. “Maybe this wasn’t a good idea. I don’t know how to argue these.”

“Alright,” Ruby finally looked up from her phone and her eyes met his. “I’ll do the pro-arguments. Let’s give it a go,” she tossed his notebook back and Sweet Pea opened it on his lap, ready to begin. “The first question is usually something along the lines of ‘do school uniforms create a sense of belonging somewhere’?” Sweet Pea glanced down at his notebook, seeing that he hadn’t touched on that topic. He would have to wing it.

“No, not really,” he told the girl and Ruby raised her eyebrows, motioning with her hands for him to continue. “School uniforms are a way to stifle all originality regarding style and preferences of the students,” Ruby nodded and waited. Sweet Pea groaned a bit and then realized that he should elaborate even further. “Choices are important, especially for teenagers. If we can’t be allowed to choose something as small as what to wear, we’re essentially being told to forget our preferences and originality later in life. In addition to that, teenage years are the time when building one’s personality happens. Having the freedom to choose what to wear helps a person find their own self and identify with similar people.” Ruby smiled at him.

“In my opinion, school uniforms are a good idea when it comes to creating a sense of belonging, especially with the new students coming from Southside High,” Ruby countered, making Sweet Pea open his mouth to reply. But, she put up a finger and didn’t let him. “Wearing the same uniform as everyone, no matter which side of the tracks they come from would help students feel like one. It would create a sense of belonging and help them get along better, without discriminating against the newcomers from Southside High. In the end, originality is still a choice, as uniforms can be decorated freely as long as the dress code is being respected,” then, the girl looked at him pointedly. “You’re not allowed to interrupt during the debate,” Sweet Pea tried to speak again, but Ruby cut him off. “Now, the next question is if school uniforms can help scrap the social inequalities.”

“Wait, wait,” Sweet Pea put his hands up, stopping her. “Don’t I get a chance to reply? A rebuttal, or something?” his face lit up and the biker smirked at the petite girl. “Redirect, Your Honor!” That sentence got a bit of laughter running throughout the crowd which had steadily been gathering around them.

“This isn’t a court, sasquatch. But, sure, have at it.” Ruby shook her head and motioned for him to continue.

“If the aim of school uniforms is to level the playing field, so to speak, and create a sense of belonging, why are only the Southside students being asked to wear them?” Ruby nodded to him furiously.

“That! That’s a point which you should definitely be making within your argument,” she smiled at him brightly and Sweet Pea felt his face heat up at the praise. “Write that down,” Ruby waited for him to do so and then asked the next question again when he looked up. “So, about uniforms helping with social inequalities?”

“Is that about gang paraphernalia?” Sweet Pea asked, frowning.

“It can be,” Ruby shrugged. “For example, an argument against school uniform could be that, while it may help exterminate bullying against students with lower income and cheaper clothing, it will also increase a ‘gang state of mind’,” when she saw him frowning, Ruby elaborated. “School uniforms create a larger ‘gang’, so to speak,” her fingers quoted the word. “By having a uniform, there is a rivalry being created with other schools. In essence, while it may not be the Serpents or the Ghoulies, it’s still a ‘gang’.”

“Oh, I see,” Sweet Pea wrote down the basic points and then looked back up at the girl. “What about the counter?”

“School uniforms would stop the rich from competing against each other and bullying the less fortunate,” She shrugged again and Sweet Pea huffed at her wording. Ruby instantly glared at him. “Don’t you huff at me! You’re going to be called out as less fortunate up there, so be ready for it.”

“Alright, alright. Anger is going to be in check,” when she raised her eyebrow Sweet Pea groaned. “I promise to do my best.”

“Okay, next question could be whether school uniforms are practical or not.” At that, the tall biker’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.

“Oh, let me get started,” he proudly puffed out his chest and grabbed his notebook. The onlookers laughed, hearing Sweet Pea begin to list off a number of reasons why uniforms weren’t comfortable or practical. He started with the quality of clothing and ended with religious reasons, highlighting the Muslim tradition of girls having to cover their skin, which the uniforms didn’t accommodate. In the end, their mock debate turned more into an actual battle, rather than Ruby explaining each question and making suggestions regarding arguments Sweet Pea could make. The crowd around them changed, students coming and going, but, there was a steady group of about a dozen people applauding whenever one of them one-upped the other. In the end, Ruby stopped Sweet Pea from talking and turned to the onlookers.

“So, what do you say, jury?” she asked. “All those in favor of school uniforms being introduced to Riverdale High?” a couple of hands rose. “All those in favor of having a dress code only?” a majority of the students put their hands up. “Well, Sweet Pea, looks like you’ve just won your mock debate.” The tall biker stood, making a show out of bowing to the crowd which applauded. Then, he turned to Ruby and took her hand, making her get up and get pulled into the hallway, scrambling to keep his notebook in her hands, along with her bag and phone. Sweet Pea didn’t stop until they reached the boys’ bathroom, which he tugged Ruby into and closed the door, locking it by sliding a piece of wood under the frame.

“Have I mentioned how hot you are when you’re arguing debate?” The tall biker turned to the girl, the look in his eyes making her brain short-circuit.

“Ah, um, no?” She stuttered out.

“Insanely hot.” And Sweet Pea kissed her against the tiles of the bathroom, his notebook and her bag falling to the floor.

And, I am happy to give you guys this piece of smut and sexual tension xD I hope you enjoyed!

"Tío, wait--"

Bruno turned slightly to regard Camilo over his shoulder, his eyes softening.

"What is it, Sobrino?" He asked gently, and Camilo sighed, stepping in front of him and swiping his thumb over the other's cheek, rolling his eyes playfully.

"What would you do without me? You had uh... Sand? Again?"

Bruno's cheeks flared red and he suddenly shook out his head. A waterfall of sand fell around him, and Camilo took a step back in shock.

"Uh, okay, looks like we need to... Probably... You know, do something about that?"

"We do?" Bruno looked honestly confused.

"We do."

A Fic Year in Review - 2017

dear god this was the busiest year i’ve had yet. let’s see how i did fic-wise!! :D and, as always, concrit and comments are welcome ♥

January

to win the hand of pasithea

this fic was hecka fun to read, not so much to write. the first, extremely silly draft was written while on a red eye cross-continental flight, and i had to post in time for the exchange it was for. luckily hallie was really patient as i cobbled together this marichat/ladynoir fusion nonsense during the next couple of months :’)

February

volpina ladrien drabble prompts (8/9):

no clothes

manga

i managed to squeeze in a few drabbles between an increasingly stressful school workload and my own brain turning against me (more than usual)

March

nothing posted this month, thanks again to the double whammy of school and depression :/

April

volpina ladrien drabble prompts (9/9):

the love at first sight/fish tank scene from romeo+juliet

I WAS. SO HAPPY TO FINISH THIS DRABBLE SET. i actually watched the entire movie for this drabble and ended up loving both, it’s a great scene and i think i did a good job with it :D

May

mlnsfweek prompts (3/3):

walking in on

"nice rose, but get off my bed"

dry humping

foreplay

i think i started my summer internship around this time, which meant less time to write. i got a few sin prompts done tho, as you can see, and ‘walking in on’ is probably my favourite thanks to chloe getting rejected XD

June

ladrien june 2017 drabble prompts (1/2):

comme il faut

cat person

god’s gift to women

“sorry, i wasn’t paying attention because your face is so distracting”

trying to finish the other’s sentences and failing

swallow

work still took up pretty much all my time, but i couldn’t let ladrien june pass without even an attempt at it. the sentences one is my fave thanks to nathalie being nathalie, but all of them were fun :D

July

tell the survivors (the help is on the way remix)

auuuugh okay. so. i was going through a lot of shit this month, including work but mostly involving my family, and i usually let out steam by writing. this is the fic i wrote to help me process everything. it turned out pretty good AND helped a lot, ngl

August

ladrien june 2016 drabble prompts (3/6):

late for class

alya's notp

identity slip up

soft ladrien in blanket

ladrien june 2016 drabble prompts (4/6):

desperate kiss

love spell | potion

still deep in work, so i decided to take another crack at the ladrien june 2016 prompts and finished a nice chunk. elaienar pleasantly surprised me with a ladrien art, so i decided to get back at her by writing a drabble to go with it, thus it is my favourite to write for this month :’)

September

everything's better with beanie babies

i went straight from work to school, which again meant little time to write. but crispy’s bday was this month!!! so i decided to finish writing this silly fic we talked about when i visited her as a present and ahhhh just thinking about all this is making me happy ♥♥♥♥

October

ladrien june 2016 drabble prompts (5/6):

sacrifice

rumours

ultimatum

my school went on strike about halfway through the month, which left me some extra time for writing. i went more cute than the suggested seriousness of the prompts and ‘sacrifice’ is probably my fave thanks to lovey dovey lb =3=

November

ladrien june 2016 drabble prompts (6/6):

weakness

caught in the act

falling

the best friend knows

fairytale

fashion show

‘weakness’ was first drafted more than a year ago and the strike meant i finally had the time to sit down and really rework it into something i’m very proud of. it’s probably my best fic to date and the one that challenged me the most this year. i never would have been able to get it to the quality it is without the help of my friends :D ♥

then i finished off the ladrien june 2016 prompt set, which i was also very proud of, ‘caught in the act’ got a little out of hand, but all of these fills i really love and enjoy |D

December

pire noel ladrien drabble prompts (1/6):

the fluffiest gd spin you can put on adrien finding out that ladybug is marinette

during an attack, ladybug tries to get adrien to hide in a certain store/place and adrien has to explain why he’s banned from entering that place for the next 3 years

what the thief left behind

sleet

adrien asks nathalie for girl advice

age difference au

space au

newly established relationship ladrien where ladybug finds adrien’s collector edition ladybug body pillow

adrien is a weeb. lb walks in on him sobbing over an anime/manga and adrien is only half coherent enough to explain why (or stop her from accusing another person of being an akuma after him)

balcony scene

termination shock

pire noel ladrien drabble prompts (2/6):

ladybug craves kisses, adrien is busy with something

adrien moaning

texts (+all the emojis) adrien would send as himself if only he had lb’s number

“ladybug, we need to talk about this problem of yours.” (aka, ladybug accidentally pisses off another holiday guardian because of adrien)

the strike ended near end of the november, but i was so stressed from the condensed workload and my own brain that i kinda retreated into writing fic as a type of relief. i started in on the pire noel prompts which i collected last December, with a brief foray into voltron so i could deal with my many, many feelings regarding aliens, and i really love i was able to stick to 300 words when i got most of them done (only 10 left!!)

Total Year’s Output: 33,115 words!

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?

i wrote less than predicted, since i thought it would be around the 50k+ of last year. but this was also the busiest year of my life thus far, so i’m proud of how much writing i got done :D

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2017?

definitely voltron fic, since i love the show but i don’t really feel the need to write for it. the canon just happened to be the one in line with my pressing need to express my love for aliens

(i literally cried in my astrobiology class over aliens adskjafhlksd)

What’s your favourite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest.

definitely ‘everything’s better with beanie babies’ because it features the agrestes being ridiculous and reminds me of crispy :’D

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?

literally every year i say this, EVERY YEAR, but i want to:

a) finish my wips while making a significant dent in my ‘to write’ list, and;

b) WRITE A MULTI-CHAPTER FIC. 2018 IS MY YEAR I’M GONNA DO IT I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD ALKDSJFHLAKSJD

#isayear #isameme #now for bed because holy shit am i tired #new year's this year was lit

I Don’t Want To Understand

A late day 2 fic for Bluepulse week. I know the prompt was pride, which I’m assuming was meant for LGBTQIA+ pride, but I thought I’d take an alternate approach since it was only listed as ‘pride’ and not ‘gay pride’ or something like it. Hopefully you still like it. Especially since it ended up being three times as long as I planned it. The one for today is gonna be mega short to compensate XD

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that the subject matter of this fic has not been written in a way that was completely appropriate or an accurate portrayal of real life circumstances. It’s clear that I have lot to learn when it comes to these matters, and I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have offended. However I intend to leave the fic the way it is as a reminder to myself and to others not to write something, even a drabble written in the spur of the moment, without thinking through it more. Everything we experience in life is an opportunity to learn, and I intend to do so from this point on.

Day 2: Pride

-----

Of all the unintentionally annoying habits that Bart had when he was impatient, bored, or stressed, pacing was the quietest and least likely to annoy others. It was what he was doing right then up in the Watchtower, several other heroes of his and Jaime's age group around him waiting and feeling just as anxious. It had been a solid forty-five minutes since they were told what had happened, but there weren't any specific details that they'd been given. It was making Bart crazy.

He tugged on the hem of his baseball tee as he glanced again at the warp pad that would soon bring his Blue back to him. How was he expected to just stand there in his civvies and wait to find out why this had happened? At least the others had taken the earlier hint and had stopped trying to talk him out of his worry. Bart appreciated it, but it just hadn't worked. So now they waited, Bart the only one dressed casually because he had been called up at the last minute to avoid him running off to find Jaime.

It just...it wasn't like this kind of thing happened to them all the time. Especially not to his Blue, his Jaime. Jaime was too good for this kind of thing. What kind of idiot wou--

Bart's thoughts and his pacing came to a sudden halt as the warp pad lit up and two figures materialized into being. One clearly smaller than the shadow like being next to him. Batman and an armored up Blue Beetle stepped down to meet the others. Jaime looked fine, not even stiff or tense in any way.

Bart was instantly relieved at the sight of him.

Batman began to speak to the group around them. “The situation has been--”

“Blue!” Bart rushed over into Jaime's open arms, as usual a bit to casual in regards to the hold Batman had on other heroes. Jaime's arms had raised up to hold him the second he saw Bart standing there waiting for him, which was the second before the speedster had been in his arms. Bart's arms had slid beneath his so he could bring his hands up to rest on Jaime's back, specifically where the blue scarab rested. “You're okay!”

Jaime smiled slightly in response to the words muffled into his chest, squeezing Bart to him in a firm hug while his face and head armored down. “Hey, chiquito.” He whispered to his boyfriend as he affectionately nuzzled ruddy-brown hair.

“As I was saying,” Batman continued after giving the two an expressionless glance, “the situation has been dealt with. There will be no need for further action, from any of you.” He turned his gaze to Bart. “Am I clear?”

“Yeah.” Bart said lightly, relief still coloring his words as he continued to hold onto Blue as if he were about to vanish.

“Good. If, and I do mean if, Blue Beetle wants to elaborate on what has happened he's free to at any time. However, if he doesn't, don't pester him.” With that he turned back to the warp pad and stepped onto it again.

“Gracias. For everything, really.” Jaime said as he turned to look back at the Bat, Bart still in his arms.

He was given a nod and nothing else. “Robin, I expect you back at the Cave within the hour.”

“Yes, sir!”

With that, the warp pad activated and Batman was gone from the room. It was another two, possibly three, seconds before Jaime was asked several controlled but clearly curious and worried questions. Including one disbelieving comment of, “I still can't believe Blue knows Batman personally!”

Among them was Superboy. “What the heck happened, Blue?”

At this Bart even took a step back to glance at his boyfriend.

“I was arrested.” Came the simple reply.

“Yeah we know that part, but why?” Asked Beast Boy.

“And in your civilian identity, no less.” Miss Martian added.

With his arm still around Bart's waist, Jaime began walking further into the Watchtower, everyone following naturally until they reached a lounge of some sort. Once everybody settled in on the various pieces of furniture, Jaime finally answered the question.

But not without giving a slight roll of the eyes as he did so. “You know how it is. A teenage kid who isn't white driving a nice car in a nicer neighborhood? It was bound to happen.”

There was quiet after that comment. A few were shocked, others suddenly understanding and clearly displeased, and one or two confused faces. Bart's was one of them, looking up at his boyfriend from where the two stood side by side in front of the others with no hint of comprehension on his face.

Jaime hadn't noticed Bart, too distracted by the reactions of the others.

“Let me explain a little bit more. You see, my mom is an E.R. nurse. One of the doctors at the hospital where she works was having some serious car issues; he was leaking antifreeze and overheating, it was a big mess. Anyway my mom, being nice like she always is, offered to ask my dad, who's a mechanic, to take a look at it. My dad's auto shop has the best prices and service in our area, so Dr. Tanner accepted my parent's offer and Dad's been fixing the car for the last few days.

“When it was all done and ready to be returned, Dr. Tanner told my dad he was willing to pay extra if someone could drop the car off at his house. I was in the shop when my dad got the call so I offered to do it.

“I should also point out that I've known Dr. Tanner my whole life, he and Mom have worked together for years, his son goes to my school and everything. So he knew that I was the one bringing the car over and he was happy about it. He always says I'm a good kid and stuff like that so he was sure I wasn't gonna mess around. I was gonna bring it straight to his house and then go home on my skateboard. No big deal.

“So I'm driving his car through his neighborhood, his house is just a block away from where I am when all of a sudden I hear police sirens. I can see the lights in the rear view mirror so I pull over. I've never been pulled over before today but Dad taught me what I was supposed to do if I ever was, so I do exactly what he taught me. I kept my hands on the wheel until the officer came over and told me to lower the window, which I did. I gave him my license when he asked, but I didn't have registration for the car on hand because I don't own the car so why would I have that? The very next thing he does is ask who the car belongs to, and I fill him in on the story.

“I could see from the moment I started talking that he didn't believe a word I was saying, but I knew better than to talk back to a cop. Next thing I know, he's telling me to get out of the car. I mean yeah I wanted to protest but,” Jaime sighed, “that only would have made it worse. It got worse anyway...”

“What did they do to you?” Artemis asked, tensing as if she already knew the answer.

Jaime pulled Bart back against his side with one arm, as if he needed the affection right then. Bart was more than happy to hug him again.

“I guess the officer's partner saw me roll my eyes when I got out 'cause the next thing I hear is, 'Knock of the attitude, punk.' So by that point I'm annoyed and offended but I put my hands up and was just waiting for them to run a plate check and call Dr. Tanner to confirm my story, but one of those jerks knocked me down with their nightstick and next thing I know I'm handcuffed in the back of their car and on the way to the police station. They messed up my shoulder a bit and royally pissed off Scarab. He's still not happy, by the way.”

{No I am not, Jaime Reyes. You should have allowed me to vaporize them and eliminate their incompetent existences from the face of this planet.}

“Hush.” Jaime said with a surprising amount of patience as he glanced backed at Khaji Da.

“Is your shoulder okay?” Wonder Girl asked.

“Oh yeah, Scarab fixed me up hours ago.”

“Hours ago?!” Bart asked with a bit of horror. “How long were you arrested?!”

“Bart I'm fine, I promise. It just took a while for my parents to get down there because they both wanted to come get me and to do that they had to leave work. Dios, I still feel bad about it.”

“So once they got there and explained the officers let you go, right?” asked Batgirl with her arms crossed in annoyance.

“Well...” Jaime hesitated, fidgeting and looking away from the crowd. “Not exactly. I mean it's all kind of a blur for me. I know both my parents were yelling at the officers after a certain point, but I don't know exactly why. What I do remember is being brought out to the front desk after a while because Dr. Tanner himself came down to the police station.”

Jaime's voice brightened. “You guys should've seen it, it was awesome. He let them have it, told them off for jumping the gun and arresting me prematurely without a lawyer present, and for not double checking their facts. Told them all it would've taken was a quick phone call to sort everything out and they wouldn't have embarrassed themselves like they did. I swear they were so ashamed they couldn't even look at me as I walked out. They dropped all the charges!”

At that a cheer went up among the group of teen heroes. Even a bit of applause.

“Serves them right!”

“That's what they get for being bigoted jerks!”

“You go, Blue!”

“I'm glad they got put in their place!”

Robin came over a clapped Jaime on the shoulder. “So what did B do to help?”

“He just wanted to make sure that they didn't secretly sneak anything onto my record, and he said that he made sure our complaints got through to their supervisor and even the Mayor of El Paso.”

Happy and cheerful chatter began to fill the lounge. It seemed as if everyone was glad that the situation worked itself out and that Blue wasn't gonna be in any further trouble. There was even talk of a celebration of some kind.

That is, until a voice broke through. “Wait...wait...hey!”

Silence descended after Bart's exclamation rang out. Everyone could see that he had wormed his way out from under Jaime's arm, because he was now standing to the side of his boyfriend and looking up at him with utter confusion on his face.

“Chiquito?” Jaime asked, his brows furrowing.

“I don't get it.” Bart said, “You're all acting like something good happened but I just don't understand. Why were you arrested?”

It was silent yet again as they all stood looking between Bart and Jaime, only now it was far more tense then it had been at any point before this. The two boyfriends were only looking at each other.

“Bart...I'm Mexican-American.”

The speedster's face took on a slight look of annoyance, clearly not happy that Jaime thought he was so dense that he wouldn't remember or know something as obvious as that.

Jaime continued before Bart could respond. “The officers that arrested me were both white, Caucasian. They were both older guys, too.” He explained.

“What does that have to do with anything?” Bart asked, clearly still confused.

“You...oh. Oh, Bart...amorcito.” Jaime's face suddenly looked so sad. Which in turn made Bart feel sad, too. “Baby...listen, you...you wouldn't know about this kind of thing because...”

Jaime didn't have to elaborate on that thought, they all knew that Bart came from a very different future with very different rules. With that realization sinking in so many of them turned sympathetic faces onto the still so young speedster.

Jaime sighed. He reached out to grasp Bart's hands in his own, Bart allowing Jaime to pull him closer. “Bart, a few decades ago there were laws put into place. Laws that let people of any color have all the same rights as white people. Before those laws...people like me and my family were treated unfairly. Very, unfairly.”

Bart's brow furrowed. “But there are laws against that kind of thing now? They don't do things like that anymore?”

“They're not supposed to, but some still do...”

“That...that's horrible!”

“I know.”

“S-So you're saying that the only reason they pulled you over, the only reason they arrested you, was because you were a different color than them?!”

“A different color, a different race, but yes. It's called racial profiling. Police officers have been known to do that kind of thing a lot.”

“Why?! Why would they do that?! What makes them think it's okay to treat you like some kind of criminal just because you're skin is darker than mine?!”

“I-I don't know why, Bart. I guess they just think that white people are better than people that are different from them.”

“That's not true! Thinking like that is-is so...moded!”

“I know, I know.” Jaime tugged Bart into an embrace. “I know.”

For a few moments Bart stood tense and shocked in Jaime's arms before melting against his chest. He only reached up to grip Jaime's waist when he felt a hand softly stroking through his hair.

“...it isn't fair. They don't even know you or how great you are or everything you do to keep them and the whole world safe...”

Jaime could only close his eyes and focus on the feeling of holding the boy he loved as close to him as he could. “I'm sorry, chiquito. I'm sorry you ever had to find out about this. I'm sorry that this kind of thing still exists after everything the world's already been through. Is there anything else you need me to explain...? Anything else you need to understand?”

Bart shook his head hard, though he still remained pressed to Jaime's chest as he quietly spoke. “I don't understand it. I don't want to understand it. I don't ever want to 'understand' it. No one should. It's moded. It's awful. I didn't come back so that I could watch people treat each other like this. We gotta fix it, Blue. We have to.”

He sounded so sad, so heartbroken. It made Beast Boy walk over and pat at Bart's back. It made the others gently chime in with assurances like “it'll be okay” and “we'll find a way to change their minds” and “not everyone is like that, at least”. They echoed Bart's feelings, wanting what he wanted; to make people realize that they all were equal, even to the heroes that they idolized.

Jaime's heart broke a little bit from knowing Bart's pain. Yet...yet he felt something. Something deep inside that grew stronger from hearing Bart's words.

{Jaime Reyes, my scans indicate that the emotion you are experiencing is what you Earthlings refer to as 'pride'.}

Pride. Yes, that was it. Jaime was proud of Bart. He was proud that coming into the past and being surrounded by this world and it's ideals hadn't changed who the speedster was. Proud that Bart was so offended by the people corrupting his new world that he felt the need to do something to change it. Bart would do it too, Jaime knew that without a doubt in his mind.

Jaime was so, so proud.

If & Chloe... in an AU where a certain vampire doesn't ruin everything

Send me a Ship and I’ll Break Them DOWN (Accepting, but will be slow)

How did they they meet?

If and Chloe were born to the same village! I can’t recall if I ever asked you about Chloe’s exact origins, but I believe you said that her family was dead? Which means they lived under the same circumstances and were probably brought up communally by their village along with all the other children who’s parents had been killed. So they have pretty much always known each other.

Who developed romantic feelings first?

I honestly don’t know. I think it was probably just something that happened naturally over time. I can say Chloe probably realized them sooner than Since If is a dullard who somehow thinks she’s straight. As I play If she does care very much about finding that special someone, and going on dates and living a ‘normal’ life so I guess if I had to pick she’d be more likely to have developed them first, realized them second.

Who is their biggest “shipper?”

Remember that drabble I wrote about all their barracks mates? Everyone of them probably shipped it and wished If would get a clue.

When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?

HMMMM. I can imagine a scenario in which they are hunting and circumstances (probably hiding out or taking shelter from a big storm) keeps them locked up in so ramshackle shelter or cave for a while. And they cuddle for warmth and spend a long time talking and it just…happens.

Who confessed their feelings first?

Depends on when that kiss came! For that at least would finally be a wake up call to If but I think even then she’d be super confused and need time to sort her feelings out. After said kiss she’d eventually figure it out and could be the one, I suppose it depends on if Chloe would be patient enough to wait for her to do that xD

What was their first official date?

It would be hard for them to have dates given their duties, but maybe once in a blue moon they could take a break provided there are enough other hunters and guardiansto fill in for them.

It couldn’t have been anything fancy, maybe them just going out to eat in one of the few restaurants in town, or having a picnic (only Chloe cooks).

How do they feel about double dates/group dates?

They love it! It’s great to spend time with their friends, I think they all treasure each other very much because they know how easily any one of them can disappear.

What do they do in their down time?

Excluding hunt, guarding, and training….their downtime probably consists of reading, walking around,chatting, making fun of each other (especially Chloe to If for her terrible tastes in books). I don’t think there is really alot that they can do in terms of recreation since I feel the advancements of their home is heavily stunted by…..well….everyone being killed. They probably don’t have a lot of trade and communication with other places either due to travel being so difficult.

But they find ways to have fun still.

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?

Uh. Well.

What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?

That’s hard. I’m sure there have been plenty of arguments over trivial things, and then some slightly more serious ones when it comes to how to approach select members of their enemies but…I honestly can’t see anything that would constitute a fight. Not with That Vampire Who Should Not Be Named outta the picture.

I guess….maybe how If handles her curse could be one? She can sometimes take some serious risks when it comes to trying to find a way to lift it since she’s in a huge hurry to do just that (especially if she and Chloe were to get together) whereas I think Chloe would want her to slow down and take a safer route. I think we’d need to discuss their dynamic pre turn more to figure this one out.

Which one is more easily made jealous?

I think both of them are very, very, very against that emotion towards relationships. Both have seen and know somewhat what it’s like to have someone be possessive over you from experience and seeing it happen. That said I think If would be the more likely of the two to get jealous, but she’d suck it up and get over it very quickly.

What is their favourite thing to get to eat?

SWEETS. Sugar is probably a huge luxury for their village and they don’t get to have anything sweet often. Whenever one of them gets a hold of anything sweet they always share, no matter how small.

Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?

If…..If really likes to cuddle….but she’s can be a fucking tsun and so doesn’t often admit to wanting it.

Are they hand holders?

Yes. So very yes.

How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?

UHM. IF IS A VERY FRUSTRATED VIRGIN. VERY FRUSTRATED. But she imagines Chloe would want to wait on that so she wouldn’t say a thing until she’s certain Chloe is comfortable.

Who tops?

They switch? I have no idea how Chloe regards sex.

What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into?

Probably the one I mentioned before.

Who does the shopping and the cooking?

DON’T LET IF FUCKING COOK. NEVER LET IF FUCKING COOK. SPOILERS, EVERYONE IN THEIR BARRACKS DIED BECAUSE OF HER COOKING, IT WASN’T THE DEMONS OR VAMPIRES.

She can do the shopping and cleaning though.

Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?

If isn’t SUPER messy by nature (she got that way after losing Chloe and all the others because depression does that to ya) but I think Chloe is still tidier.

Who proposes?

If!

Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?

Separate. Their friends pull them apart to throw parties for them that they are both embarrassed but amused by.

Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?

Take your pick from any of those dead NPCs who shall be alive in this AU too xD

Big Ceremony or Small?

Small because hell it’s literally impossible to have a big one.

Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where?

I don’t think they’d be able to :(

Do they have children? How many?

Maybe? I think they would, but I think they’d both be afraid to bring children into this world, especially given their jobs. They wouldn’t want to leave anyone behind.

[ @sasuhinamonth || SasuHina Month 2019 || Day Sixteen: Bridesmaids ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Haruno Sakura ] [ SasuHina, NejiTen, NaruSaku, alcohol ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]

After a while...she starts to hear the infamous phrase. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride”. At first, Hinata doesn’t pay the jab much mind. She doesn’t really care what anyone else thinks. She’s going through life at her own pace! Just because her friends are marrying young doesn’t mean she needs to. She just...hasn’t found mister right yet. Or...possibly missus. She’s not overly picky in that regard, but...well, something’s always told her it would be a guy.

And...for a while, she thought she’d found him. But crushes in high school - especially ones never acted upon - don’t exactly equate to true love.

...especially when your best friend ends up dating them instead.

So far, though, she’s enjoyed every wedding she’s gotten to be part of. There was her cousin’s wedding, which honestly she thinks might be her favorite so far. Seeing Neji all spiffy (which, to be fair, he usually looks anyway), seeing his bride Tenten all dolled up...it was such a treat. Especially when Neji almost broke down, overwhelmed with happiness.

...it gave her hope she might have that someday.

Next to tie the knot was someone she knew mostly in passing, but still managed to get pulled on board: Temari had been from a rival school, but managed to snag one of her classmates, Shikamaru. Their wedding had been a bit less formal, and maybe a bit more fun. But admittedly Hinata hadn’t been as invested.

Then it was Ino’s turn. Talk about a showstopper. It had been big, loud, and flashy: just like Ino. Not that Hinata expected anything less. But boy had her feet been glad to get her shoes off at the end of that night.

And now...well...the one that part of her has still managed to dread.

“All right everyone, last run through! Then we can break for the night and get something to eat!”

All the bridesmaids and groomsmen laugh as Sakura gives the announcement. It’s been a long evening of practice for the ceremony tomorrow, and they’re all ready to call it a night. Holding her little practice bundle of flowers, Hinata stands with the other girls and watches as they go through all the motions one last time. And as Naruto and Sakura practice their vows once again, she tries to ignore the heaviness in her chest.

You had your chance, Hinata...and you blew it. Put all that behind you and be happy for them.

On the outside, at least, she’s all smiles. Maybe even a little teary eyed. Because that small part of her aside, she really is so happy for the pair of them. They make each other happy...and that’s what counts. Maybe a piece of her will always cling to her little crush, but that will never outweigh seeing her friends together and so joyful.

“Okay, that’s a wrap! Who’s hungry?”

While most holler in agreement, Hinata hands back her bouquet. “I think I’m gonna call it a night a little early.”

“Aww, really?”

“Yeah,” she assures the bride with a smile. “I had a long day before p-practice, so...I’d better get some sleep.”

“Well be sure to eat something too!” Sakura calls, her inner nurse showing through as Hinata leaves.

The Hyūga gives a weary wave over her shoulder. In truth...she really is tired, but...maybe not just from a long day.

Tomorrow, she knows, will be even longer.

After some fitful sleep, she drags herself out of her hotel room and down to the room set aside for everyone to get ready. The bridesmaids’ dresses are a soft pink, and Hinata can’t help but find them just a little cringey. But then again, they’re all supposed to pale in comparison to the bride.

And Sakura does look beautiful. Her gown clings to everything, down to her hips before flaring in a full skirt: white with uncounted sequins to catch the light.

Soon enough...it’s time. And thanks to the hours of practice the night before...it goes off without a hitch. By the end, Hinata wipes tears from her eyes as the pair run back down the aisle, followed by the crowds as they move to the reception hall.

And then, the real party begins.

After cake, dancing starts, and music drowns out all but the most determined conversations. For a while, Hinata sticks by the other bridesmaids, but eventually she needs a drink. Indulging in a pina colada, she lingers at the makeshift bar and sips it slowly.

“Bloody Mary, please.”

Glancing over, Hinata recognizes Sasuke Uchiha: a fellow classmate, and Naruto’s best man. Like her, he seems a bit...exhausted. Accepting his drink, he doesn’t sip it like she does hers.

“...that bad, huh?”

He looks to her at her comment. “...I hate weddings.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Especially this one.” Another gulp. “What about you?”

“I like weddings, personally.”

“No, I mean this one specifically. Aren’t you pissed?”

“W-what?!”

He gestures. “You had the hots for Naruto in high school, right?”

“That was high school.”

“...uh huh,” he replies, taking another swig.

Hinata pouts. “...I’m happy for them.”

“Yeah, well, me too. Maybe now Sakura will stop leaving me voicemails.”

...that makes her still. “...she…?”

“That was high school too,” is all he offers in reply. Another gulp.

“...I see.”

“What about you? You ever gonna do this?”

“...maybe someday. I just...haven’t found the right person yet.”

“Better hurry up, right? You’re the last one of the group still unhitched, right?”

“It’s not a race,” she sniffs.

“...guess you’re right.”

“What about you? Eager to get ‘hitched’?”

“If it happens, it happens. But I’m not about to stress over it. I’d rather find love before deciding I want to get married, y’know?”

That earns a small laugh. “That’s...probably a good way to go about it, yeah.”

For a moment, Sasuke seems to consider her, watching her sip her drink. “...you wanna dance?”

“...with you?”

“I asked, didn’t I?” He opens his arms in a gesture. “We’re the two left behinders, right? Only makes sense.”

After a pause, she laughs again. “...all right, sure.” Taking one last swig of her drink, she follows to the dance floor, pausing as the current song ends, and is replaced by something a lot...slower.

Rather than hesitate, Sasuke scoops her up, ignoring her eep of surprise. Placing their hands, he starts sweeping her around, and...Hinata can’t help but be surprised by how good he is at this.

“So, Hinata...will I be invited to your wedding?”

She snorts. “...well, will I be invited to yours?”

“I s’pose so. We’ll see how things pan out, eh?” He gives her a drip, grinning. Seems that Bloody Mary wasn’t his first… “You might end up there for another reason altogether, eh?”

“...meaning?” she asks as he pulls her back up.

“Meaning...whatever you think it means.”

Her expression turns suspicious. “...well, like you say...I guess it depends how things work out.”

“Well then...I look forward to it.”

.oOo.

...this feels slightly familiar, like maybe I wrote something like it, but uh...2/3rds of a way through a year through of daily drabbles will make you a little unsure what you have and haven't done xD But here we have the ever-classic wedding trope. Specifically two people meeting at a wedding. And you KNOW the next one will be Sasuke and Hinata's...and then she can drag all the other brides to be HER bridesmaids x3 Aaanyway, I've got more writing to do, so! That's all for now - thanks for reading n_n

writer’s tag!

Tagged by the lovely @shirasade, @miazeklos, and @darknesshadows! I considered doing this on my main @calculatingthestars, but all of them were Jace-related in some way so it felt right to do them here. XD The basic idea was to post a paragraph/snippet from five Works-In-Progress, but I opted for slightly longer excerpts. Please heed warnings!

Tagging: @camboyjace, @morgandeeyue, @dnteverdoubtme (because I know you’ve got that P&P WIP hidden away), and whoever else wants to do it!

1) Jalec. Blind!Jace AU. (Part of a short fic where Jace is blind and grows up as a ward of the NY Institute but is not raised by the Lightwoods.)

“I want to see you,” Jace says, and the point of his chin is turned away, head half-cocked as he listens for the tell-tale skip in Alec’s heart beat.

It does.

Wordlessly, Alec drops his staff onto the practice mat and takes Jace’s hand. He puts it against his cheek, allows him to run it, terribly gently, across the contours of his face.

It’s unspeakably, unbearably intimate; Jace is still pressed against him from thigh to chest and he touches Alec’s face like he’s made of something far more precious than flesh and bone.

“Thank you.” When he moves to pull away, Alec catches his wrist. His heart is pounding in his chest and they’re pressed close enough together that he can feel the thud of Jace’s heart, hammering against his ribcage.

***

2) One-sided Jalec, unrequited love. Angst. (I think it’s fairly clear why I couldn’t bring myself to finish this, but it was supposed to be based in season 1 and dealt with Alec finally confessing his feelings.)

“Say something,” Alec says. Even without the bond, every line in his body is screaming of tension, the air in Jace’s room thick with it. “Damn it, Jace–”

“What do you expect me to say?” His parabatai is pale, his back literally pressed against the wall. Alec has never seen him look so uncomfortable. “Alec, you know that I–”

“–don’t feel the same way about me,” Alec finishes. He’s so predictable. He doesn’t know why he’s angry, doesn’t know why he’d thought Jace would say anything else, really, but still his chest aches with disappointment and all he wants to do is leave.

“I don’t– I don’t know what you want from me,” Jace says. “Love isn’t a thing, Alec. I can’t rip out my heart and give it to you. You know I would if I could.”

***

3) Jalec. Excerpt from “the Light of Other Days”, chapter 3. (This chapter has been languishing in the depths of WIP hell for months now, and I really REALLY want to finish it.)

“Why did you change your name?” The question hangs in the air of his makeshift office, Alec’s hands moving restlessly against the crime scene photos that he’s stacked and ordered across his desk.

Jace shrugs. “’Wayland’ was always a lie, and ‘Herondale’ didn’t feel like it was ever mine,” he says. “I thought a Lightwood should be running the New York Institute, since…”

“I left?” Alec supplies, mouth tightening.

“Isabelle, too, after the war,” Jace says, and looks away. “She decided she’d rather teach, and when they reopened the Academy…” He shrugs. “But I’m sure you already know that; you’ve kept in touch with her.” He doesn’t even bother trying to hide the accusation in his voice.

“She’s my sister.” He doesn’t mean the sharpness in his tone, but the old bitterness seeps into it like bile. Alec is tired of this, tired of the game that Jace is so obviously playing, tired of the steady throb of their parabatai bond that is so much harder to resist given their proximity.

“And what am I?” Jace asks, mismatched eyes flashing.

“You’re—“ Mine. “Needed in the briefing room.”

***

4) Jalec. One-sided Sebastian x Jace. Westworld AU. NON-CON, torture, sexbot trope (in line with Westworld’s canon depiction of the treatment of their hosts).

Basically, Jace is a host, Alec is a newcomer, and Sebastian is head scientist at Morgenstern Park. In its entirety, this fic is probably shaping up to be the most fucked up thing I’ve ever written, but this snippet is one of the less graphic parts of it. It depicts a scene where Sebastian tricks Alec into watching him perform a “systems analysis” on Jace. PLEASE do not read if this is not your cup of tea

(Due to the nature of its content, the snippet has been put up as a private post, linked here.)

***

5) Jalec. The 100 AU. (Basically a Jalec spin on a fairly popular canon Clexa scene.) This was a drabble for @lunaswondrousworld that I never managed to finish. ;_; Putting this under a cut because it’s less of a snippet and more a drabble without an ending. (I suck, I know.)

“Are you here to tell me that you told me so?”

Jace shifts from one foot to another, staring up at Alec with those lovely eyes of his. The bandages on his arm and hand have soaked through, and Alec can see the black blood showing against the rough cotton.

“No, I–” he pauses, shrugs. “I just wanted to thank you, I suppose. For backing me.”

Alec regards him a moment longer, then steps back, holding the door open. “Come in, then,” he says. ”Sit.”

The duel is all too fresh in his mind; he can still smell the stench of blood from the arena, the smell of the wet ground mixing in with sweat and fear.

It had been a close fight. Far too close.

Jace holds himself stiffly as he drops down onto the couch, and Alec brings fresh bandages when he sits beside him.

“Let me change that for you,” he says, and he smiles slightly when Jace extends his arm without hesitation. There is history between them– not all of it good, certainly– but no matter how hard Alec tries to fight the feelings that well for him, his efforts remain fruitless.

The kiss that they’d shared ages ago had been in simpler times, but even then, Alec hadn’t been ready. Even now, when they’re in the middle of a tenuous, fragile peace and Jace has barely made it out of a coup attempt with his head intact. If there’s a worse time for this– whatever this is– Alec doesn’t know it.

“Your ambassadors tried to kill you,” he says finally, and his large hands are gentle when he unwraps the bandage from the commander’s arm. “Are you going to let that stand?”

Jace is silent for a long moment, watching him. “We all do what we need to in order to survive,” he says. “Nia rallied them, and now Nia is dead. Roan knows that I put him in power and that buys me time. Maybe the rest of the clans will let this go, and maybe they won’t, but for now…”

He exhales, the sound of his breath little more than a sigh. “Thank you for backing me,” he says. “I know you didn’t want to.”

Alec finishes with the bandage but doesn’t let go of his hand. “I wasn’t going to go,” he admits. “But I did what was best for my people.”

“So did the other ambassadors,” Jace says, and there’s something in his voice that makes Alec look up, searching his face. Jace sees him staring, forces a faint smile.

“To be commander is to be alone.”
