Mona: next-door-neighbor’s to lovers 

A woman with long red-purple hair tied up into pigtails and an extravagant hat was walking up the steps of the house across from yours when you had walked out of your house that morning. 

“Hey!” You called out to her 

She turned and glanced at you before huffing and setting the box she was holding down onto the steps, “It’s rude to watch people, you know? Is there something you need?” 

“No I was just wondering who you are,” You paused, “I mean, yeah, people are always going in and out of Mondstadt, but I’ve never seen you around before today.” 

“Well, I’ve lived here for a few weeks now so it’s not my fault you’ve never seen me,” she flicked her hair over her shoulder before picking the box from earlier back up, “Is that all you need?” 

“I- Hey! Wait, where are you going?!” You walked closer to her house, hand grasping the railing in front of it, “I’m an adventurer so it’s no wonder I haven’t seen you, but-” 

“I don’t care, I’m going now-” 

“Stop, won’t you just talk to me?” 

“I’m Mona, that’s all you need to kno-” a loud rumbling sound cut her off. 

“Was…was that your stomach?” 

“I- no! Of course it wasn’t, you think I, Mona Megistus, would ever let my stomach growl-” 

It growled again, but you simply laughed it off. 

“C’mon, I’ll treat you to lunch!” you looked up at her, “I just want to get to know my new neighbor and hey, I’ll pay for it too.” 

“Free foo-” she paused and corrected herself, “I mean- if you’re offering, I don’t suppose why not. Just allow me to set this down and I’ll join you in five minutes.” 

You smiled to yourself, a strange feeling growing in your gut. 

A few hours later, the sky had gone dark and the two of you were outside at a table in front of the Good Hunter. The lamps were all lit up and many Mondstadt citizens were out enjoying the city as well. 

You grasped your stomach, a hand on her shoulder as the two of you laughed so hard the people around the fountain began to stare. 

“You truly are something else, y/n,” Mona said as she stared down at your form still laughing in your chair with a small smile on her face, cheeks growing hot, “Say, do you want to do this again sometime?” 

Your laughter had ceased and you looked back up at her, a more serious look in your eye. Her soft gaze was making you a bit nervous. 

“I can’t tell if you’re still joking,” you said, averting your eyes as your nerves began to act up even more. 

“I’m not.” 

Your eyes snapped toward hers, a burst of confidence now rushing through you, “Mona, are you asking me out on a date?” 

“If that’s how you view it, then yes, I, Mona Megistus, am asking you out on a date?” 

“I’m free on Thursday?” 

“Thursday it is.” 

Hu Tao: Frenemies to lovers 

When you first met Hu Tao, you didn’t get the greatest impression. From the way she talked so fast, to the excessive jumping around, and the constant question of, “What kind of coffin would you like? I can get you a discount!” 

You inevitably got annoyed.

The thing was, you were friends with Zhongli. In fact, every other day you would greet him at the funeral parlor before the two of you would head off on walks or get lunch somewhere in the harbor. 

But Hu Tao was always there, and she always made sure to greet you too. You wouldn’t ignore her or anything, but it’s not like she didn’t still annoy you either 

“Hi, Hu Tao,” you said begrudgingly as you walked up to the parlor, “Where’s Zhongli?” 

“Why hello, y/n! He’s not here today!” She jumped around you, “I can go to lunch with you instead if you like?” 

“No, it’s fine” 

“Ah, don’t be so rude y/n!” 

“I’m not being rude, we’re not friends and I don’t want to go to lunch with you.” 

You felt a bit guilty after watching her face fall once you finished your sentence, but nevertheless, you just turned around and walked away. Maybe she’d finally get the hint. 

Spoiler alert: she didn’t. 

The thing with Hu Tao is, once you’ve managed to peak her interest, she won’t leave you alone. From constantly pulling pranks on her friends (if you could even say she had any), to disrupting the unsuspecting citizens of Liyue, to chasing Qiqi around with murder in her eyes, she never seemed to stop. 

Honestly, you just wished she would grow up a bit. 

In the following days, the feeling in your gut that something odd was going on only grew. Zhongli’s presence at the funeral parlor was nowhere to be found. Yet each day, Hu Tao would still come outside to say hello to you, some days she’d still offer to go on a walk with you or do your normal lunch like you always do with Zhongli. 

After a week had passed, you finally gave in and agreed to go on a walk around the harbor with her. 

As the breeze from the ocean was blowing in and bright sun beating down on your face, you walked silently next to the director and through the harbor. 

You had been looking down at the floor when she spoke up, “Can I ask you two questions?” 

“That technically is a question, so what’s the other one?” 

She smiled a bit at your lame joke, you never joked with her. 

“You know what I mean,” she giggled, “Okay, first one: are you and Mr. Zhongli together? Like romantically?” 

Your head had never turned so quickly in your life, “What!? No!” 

“Oh god, does it really look that way?” you put your head in your hands as you kept walking, “I swear we’re not! We’re just friends, in a way, he’s kinda like a mentor to me.” 

“No need to get so flustered,” she giggled as you kept your head in your hands, “Okay, second question: do you hate me?” 

You lifted your head up as you stopped walking. Sure she often annoyed you, but you never hated her for it. 

Did she really think that?

“No, of course not,” you gazed at her now quiet figure as she stopped walking to, “What made you think so?” 

“Well, I always say hello to you every time you show up at the parlor and you always look mad once you see me, plus, you never want to hang out with me,” she stopped for a second and looked down at the floor, “You also just always seem so happy around Zhongli and you never look like that when you’re around me so I just figured you must hate me or something.” 

Unsure of what to do, you put your hand on her shoulder. She looked up at you before suddenly hugging you. 

Surprising both yourself and Hu Tao, you wrapped your arms around her as you began to feel giddy and a bit of red spread across her face. 

“Y/n…” Hu Tao said nervously as she let go of you, “I need to tell you something.”

You continued to look at her, nodding slightly to signal that she could continue.

“I, uh, have feelings for you” she said rather quickly.

Of all the things you thought she was about to tell you, you weren’t expecting that. 

“You don’t have to say anything, though!” 

“No, no! I- uh,” you looked down at your hands that were fidgeting, “sometimes I get nervous around you. I think that’s the reason I avoided you so much, I was just in denial”

She looked hopeful as you continued, “Listen, I can’t say that I probably like you the same amount that you like me, but I want to try at least.” 

Her voice softened and she glanced up into your eyes, “That’s okay! Maybe we could start slow and go on a date soon?” 

“Yeah, that sounds great,” You breathed out. 

“Ah, about time!” A figure from behind you called out 

“Zhongli?!” 

“Where have you been?” you questioned. 

“I realized there were feelings that were blooming between the two of you and I felt as though nothing would happen if I was to continue showing up and whisking you away from our dear Hu Tao,” He laughed to himself, “So, I hatched a little plan and here we are.” 

“I cannot believe you of all people would do something like that,” you spoke, jokingly angry with him. 

“Well, I’ll be going now,” he began to walk off, “Enjoy your date, my dear friends.” 

The two of you couldn’t help but laugh 

Scaramouche: Enemies to lovers, one bed, and (kind of) fake dating

“Excuse me, y/n, The Tsaritsa has ordered you and The Balladeer to take your leave for the mission she assigned the two of you.” 

“Archons, you have got to be kidding me,” you groaned out before grabbing your bag and walking to the door, “You can leave now, thanks.” 

Rolling your eyes as the lower rank soldier ran off, you locked your office before strolling down the corridor of the Fatui headquarters. 

A flash of purple hair entered your sight and you fake laughed before calling out, “Ah! Scaramouche, my love!” 

“Call me that again and I will actually fucking kill you.” 

“Aw, aren’t we supposed to be acting as lovers though, Scara.” 

“I don’t ever wanna hear the name ‘Scara’ come out of your mouth again, and even though the Tsaritsa ordered us to be posing as a couple for this mission, we aren’t in Liyue yet so drop the fucking act.” 

You laughed to yourself before boarding the ship to Liyue, Scaramouche next to you. 

Truthfully, you found the whole ordeal to be quite funny. Here you were, number six and seven of the Fatui Harbingers, who proclaimed to hate each other, sitting next to each other on a boat to Liyue preparing to act as if you were the most in-love people to ever exist in the nation of Teyvat. 

You didn’t however find it so funny when you arrived in Liyue and the hotel had made a mistake. It meant that the two of you had to share a bed and you were never going to let that happen. 

“Bed is mine, you’re a loser so you don’t deserve it,” you told him.

“Did you just call me a loser?” 

“Maybe.” 

“I can have you killed, you know?” 

“Yeah, but we both know you won’t do it,” you started to lay down in the bed, “anyway, have fun on the floor. I heard it’s a real party down there, who knows, maybe you’ll make a friend.” 

“Are you suggesting I make friends with something of a roach?” 

“Everyone knows you’re friends with people that reflect you, so yeah, I’m sure you’d get along great with the roaches.” 

You had about two seconds of peace laying on the bed with your eyes shut before you were suddenly the one on the floor.

“Ow! Son of a bitch! Did you just throw me off the bed?” You yelled as you got up and stared down at Scaramouche who had made himself quite comfy in the bed, eyes shut as he faced the ceiling. 

“I did, if the floor sounds like such a ‘party’ to you, you can take it.” 

Now equally pissed, you did the only thing you could think of: jump on him. 

“Ow!” he yelled, trying to push you off of him 

He pushed you to the other side before kicking you again so you’d fall off. You fell to the floor with a loud thud and were about to get up to fight him again when a knock echoed through the room. 

“Shit!” you both muttered out.

Opening the door you smiled, “Good evening, sir, is something the matter?” 

Scaramouche came up and hugged you from behind, head resting on your shoulder before joining you in smiling innocently at the hotel owner. 

You would be lying if you said that the way he was holding you right now didn’t fluster you, but you regained your posture and quickly placed your hand in one of his, trying to one up him. He grasped it tightly before looking at the man, gesturing for him to continue. 

“Yes, I’m deeply sorry to bother the two of you, but we received a complaint from another room about yelling and loud noises coming from this area of the hallway,” He continued on, “While we cannot be sure it was the two of you, we would advise that if it was, you please be respectful of the other guests in the hotel and refrain from being so loud.”

“We apologize, sir. My wife and I had just gotten into a small argument, but it’s been resolved. Thank you for your offers, have a goodnight as well.” 

As soon as the owner backed away from your door and down the hall, you shut the door and started laughing, partially out of pure humility, partially out of nervousness, “I’ve never seen you be so nice.” 

“Shut up, it’s not funny. Besides, we have to do it anyway or else we’ll blow our cover or get kicked out,” he mumbled, “If we do either of those, The Tsaritsa will kick us out of the Harbingers for good and I’m not losing my job because of your dumbass.” 

“Okay fine, how about we just share the bed then?” You suggested. 

He huffed before getting into the bed without a word, leaving the other side to you. You got in, but you couldn’t stop the nervous feeling that arose earlier from coming back. Not to mention the fact that you felt flustered at the thought of him calling you his wife earlier.

“Don’t cross my side and don’t wake me up,” he said with his back turned away from you. 

You couldn’t help but smile.

And even though you both fell asleep with your backs facing each other, neither of you could resist cuddling up into each other's arms by the time morning hit.

SHIPPING INFO /

/ Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

REPOST. Don’t reblog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

@brooklynislandgirl While I have gone on to the point of endless circles about how Jayden loves Beth. It is more than a love of being friends. There is such a deep connection, may be not soul-mate status, but close enough that if it were true, then I would have no reason to argue against it. They are a close as they can get as friends, as family, and more. Beth and Jay were created, on paper with pens and pencils, sticky notes and yarn to connect the dots. Looking a lot like a conspiracy board to outsiders. But Turtle and I spent a solid six months, if not more, working out details of the girls' lives and how they fit together with each other. Across different verse and timelines. How they know that the other will be there when all hope is lost and there is nothing left but each other.

All of my ships are near and dear to me. To know that there are those out there that are putting in the time and effort like I am to make the Ship, no matter what shape it takes, to work. I can't give specifics as to why one is greater than another when the reality is that I see them all as stars in my night sky of written words.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

It would be easier to state what I will not write when it comes to shipping. Meaning I will NOT write things like Non-Con, Age Play, Daddy/Mommy Kinks and closely related themes to the listed ones. I refuse for many reasons that do not need explanation further than I'm just not going to do it.

The Following are Available if the Muns are friends for at least Six Months and are consenting to: Dub-Con could only come up as a suggested plot if I have written with you over a regular basis and that we talk near constant OOC. Toxic and Negative Ships can be brought up provided that we the Muns have a healthy understanding and plot it out over several weeks.

Sex and BDSM topics can be talked about after two months of OOC of conversation. Or if we the Muns feel comfortable enough with each other to talk about such things. But that is a preference of mine.

That being said, I am open to most types of shipping from romantic, to friendship, to familial, and even frenemies. With the clear statement being that, and let me say it loudly for those in the back of the auditorium, COMMUNICATION IS KEY!

For me to be able to write out certain things, I need to know where my partner is at. I will check in with them at every reply, ask questions to the point it might feel like an interrogation to the outside the thread. If it becomes clear that the ship is starting to harm or make my RP Partner uncomfortable, I need them to be honest with me and I will terminate that specific ship and all threads relating to it.

I am not here to get my jollies at the risk of my partner's; mental, emotional, and physical health. Nothing is worth hurting another human being for.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

Age gaps do not really bother me so long as again, We Communicate. I do prefer the Muse in question to be over 21 as I am not going to even pretend to enter the Underage thing. It honestly creeps me out now that I am older in real life. I get a few years, but after they are approaching being about five years younger than Jay is where I draw a hard line.

Are you selective when shipping?

I have to say that I am to a certain point. I like the semi-realism of watching Muses meet, grow and interact. Seeing that relationship develop and blossom gives the Ship a certain fondness for me. Something I can look back on and go "Yeah, that was the moment it became something real." I have stated that I am a slow-burn kind of girl, but that doesn't mean we can't plot the past and jump into an established friendship.

I am open to figuring out pre-established romantic relationships, so long as it is not fresh following each other. I need to know you a bit more than a name and a "hey baby, how you doin'" if that's okay.

I will be honest, unless I have known the Mun for a spell and it is something that we have plotted for, Jayden is not going to just drop her panties and say please within the first ten minutes. That is something that I don't feel right about as I think it betrays who she is as a person. Yes, she is an OC of canon characters from a show. But she is more than her parents. She belongs to no one, except maybe Beth and even then Jay does not always listen. She can make her own choices.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Personally, I like to stick to T.V. standards. If it would be considered rate R, then of course I am going to tag it as such. But for me, I like to take it somewhere more private if the Scene goes to Third Base. Mostly because A) I do not have a lot of experience with writing for the public, and B) It takes days if not weeks to make sure that I am follow where my fellow Mun wants to take things.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

I have several ships that I will go down with. But I understand that life happens. To list them all would keep us here for several hours. And even then I would feel like it wouldn't do the Ships justice. Because I love them all in different ways.

For those standing Ships, it takes a weight off my soul to know that my mutual Muns have taken the time to chip away the near indestructible wall of Jayden's exterior personality to get to that soft gooey center. That they can see she has flaws and still choose to love her on purpose. No matter what that love is.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?,

Don't get me wrong, I would like a head's up that it is something you, the Mun asking, is interested in. If it happens by accident, that is awesome. I'll be fair and honest, unlike my Muse, I am in real life oblivious to people flirting and the associated actions. So if you are subtle about it, I won't see it. And my goal is to not intentionally hurt someone because I was "Madam Not Getting the Hint."

And if I am asked, then I have a better grasp of what direction we want these stories to go. And yes it will change how my Muse interacts with yours.

How often do you like to ship?

I am not looking to force anyone into anything. As it has been a very large Issue in the RPC. Only getting followed for sex and nothing else just isn't my cup of tea. Not to say that you can't do that, I'm just respectfully bowing out of that.

I want us to know each other, to be able to be friends before putting a label on what our Muses are. But I would like to hope that our Muses could have at least and "I tolerate you" and "I would save you from being on fire" kind of ship.

Are you multiship?

I am. Each ship is in their own bubble pocket universes and timelines. Think of them as Pants of Time. There are two choices, and each one taken changes that timeline differently.

That is not to say that I can't enjoy watching other relationships come into being. Even if there are multiple crossover verses with several Muns, UNLESS TALKED ABOUT BEFORE HAND, there is very little butting into someone else's relationships. There is no "Oh my God, Becky you're dating my man! How Dare?!" Honestly cheating plots are not something I am all that interested in? But that is just me.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I mean, kind of More or Less. If one happens I am here for it. But even if one never comes up, that is okay too! Sometimes you just see Bob Joe at the park when you walk your dog and exchange a "Still breathing?" in passing.

I have had a standing Mutual that at first our Muses would just annoy the shit out of each other for like a year's worth of multiple threads. And we as Muns were fucking tickled pink by it. To this day I am not sure if He considers Jayden His friend or that woman the bane of His existence. I am looking at you my feathered friend.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

I have so many that it is silly and that there is very little time to explain them and why I will die on their respective hills.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Talk to me. Be honest with what you want to see and I will do my damn best to make it happen for you. I sadly cannot read minds from my desk chair. SO in order for us to write something we are both enjoying, I need to have a head start and a map to get to the right path we want to take our stories into.

Highly controversial opinion bcuz oh boi am I gonna get backlash

THIS IS KINDA OF A VENTFUL POST OF A CERTAIN POPULAR THING, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THIS IF YOU'RE A FAN OF THE THING, THEN DON'T BE BOTHER TO LOOK OR READ AT IT.

As someone who has been a die hard SMG4 fan since the early 2020s, I have been seeing some recent tags of a ship that I personally have an upside-down opinion on.

You wanna know why I never bother to re-blog some SMG34 stuff like anyone else does?

Well....Truth be told for what I'm about to say here but in mho on that ship that has been a thing for years.

I'm not rather in partial to SMG34.

Now I know that LOTS of Toxic SMG4 fans will tend to Bash an Opinion for liking something so unpopular it's meant to be a "Sin" to the SMG4 fanbase, but it's honestly true to say the least (since not everything has to be "agreeable").

I know the ship has been a thing for a very long time since the beginning of the series (even before Glitch Productions ever existed) but as someone who only tried "Sunset Paradise", part of Me feels like that I want to try the other Glitch shows (including TADC that everybody's been talking about).

It's just that my indifferent feels towards the Ship that everybody's been obsessing for even on Tumblr, part of Me feels like that I just can't get into it (nor how much I try) mainly because it just has something to do with the appeal of the designs or how I just prefer with one of the characters with someone else that I ship who isn't them.

It is NOT meant to be highly homophobic when you have a different opinion on a Slash Ship. I've been an Ally for a very long time and I have a ton of favorite LGBT Ships that I've really adored for a long time (Ineffable Husbands, GraGoh, Almidot, Narlie, SquidBob, Grumpshine, Goldenheart, ect.) but I just usually wish that both LGBT and Straight Ships would just be treated all the same as Normal (as long as if it's not involving around Pr*shipping because then that would be a big problem).

My feelings towards SMG34 has some 2 Sides that I'd mainly don't know what to chose;

It mainly has to do with their own Character Designs (being that they're currently now redesign of Mario colors), they just happened to look like as if they were Twins/Brothers (even if the two aren't canonically related), their Designs look strikingly similar as if they gave Me some Yaoi Inc*st vibes (again, not to insult, and I know that these two aren't related, but I just don't really like the way on how they look too similar one another).

I mainly want to open it, in which I could at least see some potential for an "Enemies to Lovers" dynamic happening between them but due to how their relationship is more like an "On and Off" frenemy still relationship, I highly doubt the new change between these two.

And for the record of what I said about "Shipping" the Other Character with Someone else, I kinda mainly prefer SMG4/Tari.

I know that the idea of "Shipping" the Plumbers with the Glitch Girls is highly meant to be a "Sin" upon the Fanbase but I think I find the Two Pairs between both the Male and Female Counterpart is kinda interesting to Me.

Many people who use the word "Hate" to describe their thoughts on that Other Ship as a "Creator/Creation" ship in which they only refer to SMG4 as an Actual Creator (or Real Person that being Luke himself). But given on how that SMG3 is also Luke's creation character as well other than Tari, wouldn't somebody else who would call "SMG34" a "Creator/Creation" ship be a total backlash while also hating on the idea of Shipping Luke's Self-Insert with his Other Characters be count as "Hypocrisy" because SMG3 is the only exception?

This kinda the main reason as to why I don't usually interact with much of the SMG4 fanbase anymore (and just interact with other fanbases instead), it's because that I just can't stand the Toxicity Half-Side in the Fandom because I feel like that it's completely unfair when you have an unpopular opinion towards one of the show's choices.

Like...For instance;

I am NOT a fan of the whole "Sibling-Bond" thing between Mario and Meggy. I prefer them still being a "Best Friends" dynamic. Their Current Friendship is rather a Toxic One (which I feel like has completely ruin their own entire Friendship of where it all began). I liked it better when it was Two Best Friends helping, now whenever they're together, they just fight because "sIbLiNgS fIgHt AlL tHe DaMn TiMe".

Not all siblings can have an argument over time, a BFF relationship can show that sometimes Siblings CAN have a Strong Bond of a Platonic Relationship, rather than a *cough* *cough* Childish one that Luke and Kevin decide to take as an Annoying Gag.

If you guys like the SMG34 idea, then that's fine. More Power than You. I can at least see why you're all into it. It's because on how much y'all see the potential in them ever since SMG4 has changed a lot better than Me.

But even if it becomes canon (despite still being a fanon ship), it would make myself feel uncomfortable when I still just can't get over their own character designs that just look like twins and maybe I would've had liked it if their character designs weren't so "Twin-Like". Even if I would have to get USED to their New Designs over time.

Sorry for the ventful post, this is just something that I have to get off my chest.

#indie text #fans don't look #I don't ship it #not really gonna tag the fandom's tag because I don't want many fans to get TRIIIIIIIIIIIGGEEEEEEEEEEERED

Hello again, this is the same anon from here

Honestly any fanfic would do, a series or one shot that seems to have really good writing. I've been trying to look for well written one shots for awhile on tumblr. My friend on here actually introduced me to your blog, they speak very highly of you. But other than your blog I did find people who write in detail but they're from another fandom sadly:(

A questio, do you know the self aware twisted wonderland AU? It's a very interesting AU. You should see the one shots made for the AU although they don't write in detail as much but their ideas for said AU is very interesting, nowadays most of the things being posted about the AU is all about writing letters to your favorite characters instead of one shots so that's why I was hoping you could give me a few recommendations:)

ohhhh i think i understand better now yes. and yes, i know about the self-aware AU! it was popular in the mysmes fandom too haha, it's a fun au for any game. i think a couple of writers have done their take on it so i don't really know who you're referring to or who did it first haha

regardless i guess i'll recommend fics (and honestly? just writers) i personally enjoy, and you can see if they're to your taste as well! or you can scroll through their masterlists yourself! and also this is my opportunity to talk about my talented mutuals oopsies

sorry for the tags pls forgive me hehe 🤗

i already talked about this in a post a few months ago, but i love anything written by @traumxrei-archive !! one of trau's leona fics titled "the shape of one's heart" is an easy new favorite of mine, i love character studies so much and screams and falls into a pit. and speaking of series! trau has a mini series based on fairy gala, fittingly named "the fairy gala collection"... and then and then just... trau's fics <3 heart eyes only!!

these are short but intimate... which makes sense because "fondness found amongst fleeting intimacy" [part 1 w/ idia, vil, mal, crewel] [part 2 w/ savanaclaw boys] by @twsthearts i just think about them every so often, the title itself enraptured me and i was just compelled to read and i had no regrets knox if u see this i adore ur writing sm i always feel like i'm reading one of my poetry books or the diaries of novelists excerpts from your works feel like they belong on a book, and then a pinterest girlie will be so in love they'll scan it and post it on their board

@twstedstoryshop hi okay so i'm going to admit i haven't finished shopkeep's full catalogue yet but i'm going to say "convenient marriage" (deuce historical AU) is probably my favorite bc i just... historical AUs, but i also enjoy "funny thing called fate" (azul soulmate AU) because i'm predictable and I think soulmate AUs are the best!!

@kaiijo ying...!!! such charming writing...! "magnetic" (azul frenemies to lovers) might be to your taste! although i am a simple human and the love triangle [part 1] [part 2] ones are my favorites dreamy sighing

i haven't actually read any of these yet (bc i want to binge all of them in one day oops) but since you mentioned series of one shots i thought of "the who does the prefect like" collab bc some of my (again, talented!) mutuals are participating in it i think it's worth checking out!

these are all i can think of right now off the top of my head that you might enjoy but if i think of more i'll reblog this!

anyway to whoever else is reading this feel free to recommend me some fics as well because i have not been reading a lot of fanfic lately hjsjsjsd i haven't had the time to finish my mutuals masterlists cries +++

i would love to follow more people ahhhh give me your recs &lt;3

#—nathyask #—anonnie #and if you do enjoy those writers you can scroll through their blog for fics theyve reblogged as well!

written by: Maya, she/her/hers pronouns, 25+, discord is available upon request for mutuals only

Some roleplay guidelines:

Due to the mature nature of the tv series, this blog is rated 20+.

If you’re sensitive to violence, blood, language, and killing of any sort I advise you to read my threads with caution because I cannot promise that everything will be sunshine and roses all the time. If any of my threads have an alarming amount of triggering material I will appropriately tag it and put it under a read more.

I will tag any and all triggers.

I will tag anything that may be of a triggering nature such as blood, gore, death, etc. If there is something I miss that you really need me to tag, please tell me! Anonymously or not, I won’t ask why and don’t need any explanation, just tell me what you need tagged and consider it done. Posts that are triggering will have a ‘tw:’ before them, so for example if someone’s trigger was blood, it’d be ‘tw: blood’ (without the quotations).

Do not rush me into replying or writing a starter.

I write at my own pace at my own time. I am a very slow writer, and also have a life outside of tumblr. If I do not reply to your thread right away it doesn’t mean that I hate you, or that I am bored with our thread. I’m either busy, don’t have the motivation to write, or don’t feel the muse for it at the moment. Along that same token, don’t rush me into plotting or writing starters. I’m a slow writer, and even slower when I write a starter.

I’m open to all roleplaying styles!

I am open to chat threads, short threads, long threads, just note that long threads will take longer for me to reply to as it is much faster and easier for me to write plain dialogue than prose. If you have a preferred length you are welcome to message me, and we can work something out! Just don’t feel the need to have to match my length exactly, all I ask is that it’s comparable in length, like if I give you a good solid two paragraphs, I expect more than just a sentence back.

Don’t automatically assume that because something is Fanon, I consider it canon.

This covers everything from popular fan theories regarding my character’s backstory, to popular ships. Don’t assume that just because something is the popular sentiment, that I’m just going to regard it as canon on my blog. If you have questions about my portrayal that aren’t on my blog, and need me to clarify something, please!! Send me asks!! Send me messages!! I love talking about my character and would be more than happy to explain things to you.

In regards to shipping, I ask that you don’t assume that I automatically ship something just because it’s popular. By default, I will not assume you and I ship the same things, even if it’s canon and let the subject come up naturally.

Now that all that shippy stuff is taken care of, I am always 100% down to roleplay friendships, partnerships, frenemies relationships, etc. Just hit me up with ideas, I love plotting things out and getting a dialogue going about what’s to come.

A note on duplicates.

Honestly? Duplicates don’t bug me at all, I know some people can be sensitive to duplicates, and that following/seeing duplicates around gives them anxiety and that’s perfectly fair, I completely understand. Personally however, I don’t mind following//being followed by duplicates of the same character. Everybody has their own unique flavor to add to their character regardless of the source material. If you’re a duplicate and unsure of whether or not you can follow me, consider this an invitation to come and say hi so we can gush about our character together.

#ES Sentence Starters

[chaosdmagicks]

RULES.

one.   selective and private.

this means i will not follow everyone back.     if i don’t see us interacting,  i won’t follow back.     and if we haven’t interacted within around two weeks of following each other,  then i most likely will unfollow.     i like having my dash clean.     i’m also mutuals - only,  which means that all open starters and starter calls are for mutuals only,  as well as memes.

two.   following back.

i won’t follow back if you:   post hateful content aka anything homophobic,  transphobic,  racist etc.     i also won’t follow if you post too much ooc.     from time to time is okay,  i do it,  too,  but not when ooc > ic.     i also won’t follow any 13 reasons why blogs,  multis with muses are okay,  but i will probably block your tags for the characters.     and same goes for any descendant muses.

three.   memes.

never shy away from sending them in.     whether we’ve roleplayed for years now,  or if we’re new mutuals.     also,  it’s okay to send in as many as you please.     i might not answer all,  but the more you send,  the bigger chances of me actually answering anything,  tbh.     i no longer put a lot of priority to memes,  though.     they get done slowly,  and not at all in any order,  so keep that in mind. 

four.   triggers.

i don’t personally have any triggers that need tagging.     if anything comes up,  will definitely let everyone know,  but as of now,  i’m good with anything.     however,  if you need any tagging,  just let me know.      i do read everyone’s rules,  but after a time i forget,  i’m only human.     so if i forget to tag something,  just shoot me a message and i will do better in the future.     i want you all to enjoy dumblr.

five.   shipping.

i like shipping.     i like it a lot.     however,  i do want to focus on other ships on this blog:   platonic,  familiar,  enemies,  frenemies,  role-models,  etc.     plus,  wanda isn't exactly the easiest character to ship with, especially in her current storyline which i am more prone to exploring. however, nothing is off the table, i do also roleplay wanda as a closeted pansexual.

six.   pre-plotting.

this blog is mainly plotting - based.     i do enjoy threads which have been at least slightly thought-out and when i have some kind of path to guide me.     this doesn’t mean i won’t do random threads,  but it does mean those will be most likely quickly dropped and i won’t be telling you about it.

seven. mcu vs 616.

as mentioned in my pinned, my wanda is mcu-based. i have not had the privilege of reading the comics yet, but i amd hoping that will be changing soon. with that said, i am more than happy to do comic based threads. any comic based threads, as long as you're okay with me coming at you with 28643247 questions to make sure i'm not messing anything up (i will also happily read up about it prior to writing).

eight.   nsfw.

this blog will contain a lot of nsfw content.     that includes sexual,  gore,  violence and language.     the gorier the better for me,  sorry but not at all.     and i do write smut,  which i’m also not at all sorry for.     i enjoy it.     there might be sexual graphics here etc too,  so if that’s not something you enjoy on your dash,  you shouldn’t follow me.      however,  everything will be tagged accordingly.

nine.   mun.

hello,  i go by tosia.     she/her,  of age.     english is not my first language,  but i do live in the uk.     love quoting vine ad tiktok.     hmu if you’re on gae witch kinktok pls.     i’m very easily approachable,  honestly.     never fear of contacting me,  just keep in mind that should we hit off,  i will not leave u alone,  lol.

offline is the new luxury

Monday, January 15th, 2024

offline is the new luxury.

Seriously. I just deleted all my social media apps yesterday because I was starting to feel like my phone had simply become a time wasting device, and most of my “friends” and “followers” were not actually real friends, just frenemies and lurkers that wanted a livestream of my suffering to laugh at and someone to pity and point at and say “hey at least my life isn’t as bad as theirs?”. I don’t need leeches and lurkers silently hating and judging me. Go live your fucking life in the real world like I am?! It’s not hard to live without social media. It’s not hard to live without doomscrolling becoming a full time unpaid job. It’s so easy to stare mindlessly at a screen for weeks on end while you put your life on hold. It’s so easy to curate a fake image to sell lies to desperate fools. What isn’t easy? Actually being an authentic messy human being living life and trying to heal and recover! We live in a society that tells us that the poor deserve bad health because they can’t afford better and then we place the disabled in a complicated legislated poverty trap as a eugenics program to kill us off faster. Western medicine ain’t shit. It’s a failed experiment sponsored by big pharma’s elites. Same with the education system. Why do I need to pay for a degree when I can Google the answers and do my own research online? And find rare valuable books on the street or at value village for a couple bucks that silently whisper to me and say “I was left here for YOU to find me”. Like that thought about Google came from a rather shitty community member that stated “I don’t need a degree, I have Google!” And despite this person’s otherwise highly problematic views- this one seems to hold value. You don’t need to pay to find answers, if you want answers, either you search for them yourself or they come to you. It’s as simple as that. Anyone asking you to pay? Are you paying for their time and expertise? Their knowledge? Are they really an expert or just another fraud? It’s best to seek answers for yourself instead of paying a fraud. But Instagram is filled with people claiming to be healers practicing “medicine” without a license and getting rich off exploiting peoples suffering while making miracle claims. It’s sick. There are so many narcs online and in the sex work industry. But it makes a lot of sense- like these people are obsessed with their image and trying to pretend to be something they’re not which is easily attained via social media marketing pageantry. I don’t really have much of a fear of missing out anymore on online nonsense. You know what I’m ACTUALLY SCARED OF MISSING OUT ON? living my fucking life authentically without feeling like I need to prove anything or put my life on display! I am scared I’ll miss another day of sunshine before a week of rain because I chose to stay inside staring at a screen instead. Like it’s a sunny day today. I was supposed to be doing laundry right now. But I decided -ya know what, I’m gonna write a blog post about my thoughts and then reschedule laundry and go outside and get some sunlight on my skin (after applying spf of course like a good slut) and get some fresh air. Might go chill (literally) in a park with some lunch but I haven’t really decided yet where today will take me. I feel like I like the long form of blog posts better and I think this will be the only place I’ll be posting online for the foreseeable future. I don’t really care who reads this blog, it’s not really a space where I care about marketing myself to potential clients other than …idk showing my true self and personality and maybe that is scary or maybe that’s exciting and interesting to know that I’m not just a doll, I’m a living, breathing human being with a brain and a heart! Shocking, I know.

Why do I think that offline is the new luxury? It’s about simply not caring about the lurkers, the haters, the critics. Not comparing yourself to others, focusing on simplicity, decreasing stress and anxiety. It’s the whole “I’ll see you when I see you”, being mysterious and moving in silence so that nobody interferes because they don’t even know what you’re doing or where you are and can’t access you or bother you. It’s about independence. It’s about living my life in privacy. It’s about my own inner peace and healing my nervous system at the end of the day and I can’t do that when I’m doomscrolling or feeling so much rage at every single tweet I see talking about how brutally cruel this world has become and how evil people behave towards others. It’s not that I want to look away or stop feeling those emotions, I recognize it’s not good for my mental health to constantly be reading about hatred. There is so much hatred online! But anyways. My time is money. I no longer want to waste it on social media. I want to put my phone down and go live my fucking life. and that’s what I’m gonna do. Byeee

A Glimmer of Hope

Enough about gloomy sinister turns in my life. I've been pondering about the pah I should lead this blog to, and the current one may break this into shambles. After all, who likes a tragedy as something to follow? Who would like to see a bad ending as a vicarious guiding star?

If you all aren't familiar already, I am a guy who wants to be a great storyteller! Have this piece I did yesterday of my two solarpunk scavenger brothers.

So let us make a promise together, friends and frenemies. I will make sure that the lengthy jargons I spew out of my shaky hands be nothing but of hope and happiness. Albiet, I will catch you all up on the darkness of my light as well.

Now to commence the first step of this oath, let me alert you all on my current school and life situation. I have decided to stay in the foreign language school. "Why stay, if you wanted to go to an art school that longingly? Wouldn't you be happier?" I might. I could. But to put it simply, if art is a building; English as a tongue is the foundation underneath. What's equally as creative and diverse as tthe language of the literature I read lovingly? Perhaps I may be taking a more difficult path for myself. But perhaps also, am I opening a new exciting adventure into the unknown. And fate(or God, if you're religious like yours truly) may have found favor in my decisions.

You see, a teacher I knew fished out a memory that was pushed deep inside the crevices of my mind for no particular reason. Hidden amongst the Incheon campuses, is a lovely major in game design! A bit further away from the animation curriculum, but the closest I can get to studying Art AND English. Besides, I have a special spot for narrative games as well. A game not only could immerse me in an alien world, but could it also tell touching pots as if it were a hardcover book as well. In a way, this college may be the very answer to the life I would love to take any other day. Supposedly they teach from figure drawing to digital painting to coding(?) as well! So if I do ever get accepted here, I know I would be okay.

Well then, friends and frenemies! I thank you all for reading til' the end of this short memoir, and I'll see you all on the next entry! Toodles!

Where the hell have I been???

It's been too long my, friends and frenemies! Let's catch up and quit the small talk that no one really gives a shit about. I read my last blog, and man, it was depressing. I did find a job, and, let's just say, I thought it was going to be the best job ever! I prayed for this job; I was so excited. I've been at this job for, what, 8 months? Maybe 7 or 9 who the hell knows? I feel like I've been here for 4 years and am miserable just like the other long-time folks; actually, there aren't many older employees. No-one really lasts more than 2 years, it seems like. If you do then you are considered crazy, and now I know why hell that is! Ok, grab your vodka friends or your favorite Mary Jane and let's spill the tea!

“it all comes down to the soul(s) in the end”: or, characters make the story work, and not the other way around

outing myself yet again as a dabb era critical blog here but. i just think the difference between carver era and dabb era is that carver era was character-arc driven while dabb era was overarching-main-plot driven with some good character moments thrown in (which may be to do with the fact that - iirc - during carver era for a while they didn’t know if they’d get renewed so they couldn’t plan too far ahead and just progressed the story by increments, as opposed to dabb era knowing they had a longer time frame to work with and deciding the plot beforehand). 

the thing is, i think most of us can agree that after the kripke era - which, for all its flaws and setbacks (hello writers’ strike), had a self-contained myth arc involving both an internally coherent narrative and certain well-defined character beats - and going into the gamble “hot girl summer but make it angst” era, the appeal of supernatural relies largely on the characters. it has to, because for a show to keep running after 6-7 seasons, you have to be invested not just in the story/stories being told, but in the people driving the story forward. it simply won’t work otherwise.

and - to my perception at least - the carver era (perhaps largely due to ben edlund’s imprint in s8, lbr) knew that. some examples of what i mean:

it gave dean an arc about dealing with the toxicity of his upbringing and his unhealthy attachment to sam, as well as starting to explore other meaningful relationships for himself (benny, charlie, and of course him continuously reaching out to cas) - essentially it allowed dean to confront that he wanted things. 

it gave sam an arc about dealing with his trauma re: demon blood, and having to confront what it means to be good, how he always felt impure through no fault of his own - and it shifted him over into accepting that his calling in life is as a keeper of lore and mentor to other people, by contrasting the failure of the sam/amelia relationship with him finding the bunker and discovering a different part of the hunting world

it forced cas to confront what he wants for himself, by making him deal with his own changing nature (being human, then an angel again, and the whole arc about living on borrowed grace), and with the other angels falling and what that meant for him; he got the chance to be on his own and be with the winchesters, to both make mistakes and be a leader to other angels - and then give up that leadership by choice because he prioritised his human family to his reputation in heaven (which should have been a clear indication of endgame human cas but i digress)

it brought in compelling new characters - primarily charlie and kevin, though they were both horrendously mistreated by bucklemming writing them off - claire novak as an angry teenager, aaron and his golem, metatron as a fascinatingly meta (ha) antagonist, rowena as a frenemy, and gave old characters compelling story beats (crowley and his “humanity addiction”). also, it had writers like robbie thompson who were attuned to the fan community in an unprecedented way.

with the dabb era, i feel like because they’d set their mind on where the story was going (e.g.: killing dean, having a new and “better” god in place, giving sam a white picket fence ending) they didn’t really care if they had to break the protagonists’ characterisation to get us there. we still had moments of great characterisation - steve yockey episodes first and foremost, and of course robert berens carrying the dean/castiel beats - but mostly, characterisation came second to what the story would need. this is how we get dean winchester, friend and protector to kids everywhere, being A-Okay with sacrificing a kid he supposedly cares about, not once but several times over, because the plot needed Emotional Stakes™️.

(and this, by and large, is my issue with jack as a character too, because he spends so much of his time on the show so clearly being a plot device - a literal deus ex machina - that he ends up being not very compelling to me. “but baby jack!” i hear you say. and yes, yes, he’s cute and i like him, but listen -- his characterisation reads as a blank slate because ultimately that’s what the narrative needs from him - and there’s a whole separate post i could make on that, really). 

but i think the main problem is that the endgame the dabb era had in mind conflicted openly with the stakes they had set up in the carver era - and that the most attuned writers kept up with even in seasons 12-15, which is why the finale felt as stridently wrong as it did (other than being ridiculously badly written). by which i mean:

dean was set up as wanting something more for himself, more than hunting and violence, and we see that in moments - but it’s not what he ends up getting. additionally, he spends so much of seasons 8-10 breaking down his toxic traits, and then bam - suddenly, he’s turned into john 2.0, because the story demands it. 

sam was set up to become a new kind of hunter, one with a men of letters background, and find happiness in the life - so you get a side plot where he successfully organises and leads a group of hunters - but ultimately he leaves all that behind and abandons the bunker (and eileen, his natural companion going forward). 

cas was set up as choosing humanity over heaven because that’s where he wants to be, and choosing to become a hunter because he wants to be useful and do good - but that gets boiled down to “cas is still an angel but now he’s Also A Dad and that’s his one purpose in life now” (i’m sorry, i am not here for the hot take of “jack is good for cas because he can’t just revolve around dean”. first of all, that’s a disservice to cas’s character over the seasons, and second of all-- oh but it’s ok for cas to just revolve around jack? it don’t make no cents luv!)

i don’t think story-driven eras are inherently bad. i enjoyed seasons 1-5, but they take place when we’re still getting to know the characters; and there is a certain evolution for them there that you may like or dislike, but it makes narrative sense for them. but if you decide to go forward into a new era with well-established and beloved characters, you have to know who the characters are and what they want or your story will always ring hollow. the main problem i have with the dabb era is that it decided the story it wanted to tell - and didn’t stop to consider whether the characters living it out would actually organically fit into it. and isn’t that chuck’s whole mistake?

You mentioned friends and fam had come and gone, If you could continue a thread or ship of any of your muses.. what would it be? and why?

I think the best example for this blog is for ERIS.

A lot of my other muses lost partners attached to muns that I am NOT talking to ever again. Probably. But most of Eris’s partners just lost people because their muns disappeared.

I loved the whole tri-verse with a very specific Sam and Dean Winchester.  I had an amazing Norse myth clique that was an attachment of the MCU too, and there were some great Xmen stuff and yes, Loki interactions....but above all, Eris still thinks of her Baldr as her husband even if the mun is never coming back. 

Some Harley Quinns and Eris had a ball. There were a couple Maleficents that Eris also shipped well with, an Elsa she adored. Believe it or not--but somehow all our threads were like novels, and we created some deep, amazing lore. The Lord of The Rings/Hobbit fandom had BRILLIANT threads and was so easy for Eris to blend into, I can’t even name everyone...but believe it or not she had a great frenemy relationship with a Bilbo, great drama with a couple Thorins and OF COURSE the best friendship ever with SMAUG. And awesome drama with a fantastic Golem ( wink wink 2 of those muns on my dash right now ) There were way more Greek mythos people around even just a couple years ago, but baaaaak in 2013-2015 I had an amazing Ares and a fantastic Enyo, and Eris still acts like they’re her only Ares and Enyo. She clearly made it clear to me they are her canon fam, no others will do. There are some mixed memories to the RotG fandom. Some horrible, some delightful. The RotG fandom was hellacious at times for outsiders that didn’t ship BlackFrost or kiss Mother Nature’s ass. But some of the best memories I did have then were with very accepting Jacks, Elves, Bunnymunds, and Toothfaires and of course...a hilarious BabyTooth. The HTTYD fandom was very cool to rp with Eris, as was a fantastic Merida that is long gone. Eris had the best Hiccup ever, and their crack, dry sarcasm interactions gave me life. And yes, I miss the many many Sinbads that came and went. But Eris has lost as many Sinbads as she had, so she is so over it. 

GOD I miss the Bill Cipher and Eris ship. Don’t ask me how they made it work, but Eris and Bill were so in love it was sickening. Of course, you couldn’t tell by how they spoke to each other it was just one insult after another only to be interrupted with destroying people together. XD

But I guess I just miss the overall openness and creativity of the RPC. I miss how totally normal it could be to be PG and crack one minute, and then turn around and be dark and sexy one hour later with other partners. I feel like partners today only want you to be clean OR dark, no flexibility. 

Eris aside---I miss all of Francine’s friends, I miss the Metal muses and their OC ships/fam, etc. A lot of people got chased off a couple years ago that I adored because of shitty fake call outs and bullying from jealous, delusional, evil muns that deserve to be banned themselves. BUT I DIGRESS....................................

OMG I forgot about a great Flynn Rider/Eugene and the best fucking Deadpool ever...

And one very loud angry archangel Metatron!

#Hey Nony Nonny #asks #MUMU asks! #{ I apologize if I left anyone out I just have been here so long a lot has happened } #{ I'm overdosed on nostalgia and now I cry } #{ Dammmn the rpc has no staying power anymore it's sad }

Series Masterlist

You stared at the group of police officers standing outside your house, shock evident on your face.

“That can't be-what..there has to be a mistake,” you finally managed to croak.

“I’m sorry Mrs. Campbell, I don't think there has been any mistake.” The officer smirked and waved at one of his colleagues.

“There has to be a proof as to why you are arresting us,” Dean said firmly.

“I am very sure that we will have proof,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, “we have a warrant to search this place.”

“You can't just-”

“Mrs. Campbell.Did you organise a party yesterday at your house? We got information that suspicious activities were noticed during that party,” the cop said.

“Yeah we had a party, but we invited only our neighbours. That's not-”

“Mr. Campbell, I am asking you for the last time to let us do our job. If we find everything is normal, we will leave and apologise for the inconvenience caused, but we have a search warrant,” the cop said, once again waving the piece of paper, “ and there nothing unlawful about searching your house. Now, I would advise you to stand outside the house so as to not interfere with our operation.”

You nodded when you saw there was no other way to stop the cops. Two other officers guided you both outside the house and stood in close proximity, guarding you since you had acted in a not so friendly manner.

Dean stood beside you, his jaw set and his eyes cast downwards.

“What're ya thinking?” You whispered.

He looked up at you, his eyebrows knitted together, a deep frown etched on his face.

“Thinking about the case,” he replied shortly.

“I need to know more than that, Dean,” you huffed.

“What can I say? We are screwed!” he said, “even if Officer “I-have-a-search-warrant” doesn't find any drugs, our cover is blown, Y/N.”

“You two have a lot of answering to do,” the cop stepped out of your house with a plastic bag in his hands. Your jaw hit the ground. You noticed Dean was mirroring your actions. How did those drugs get into your house?

“We don't-”

“Save your answers for the court. Arrest them,” the officer ordered.

Immediately two cops came forward and started to put handcuffs on you both. Your mind was still reeling over what just happened. You barely acknowledged it when the cops shoved you into their car. You were still trying to process everything, trying to remember every tiny thing that happened in that party.

“Hey officer, can I ask you a question?” Dean asked.

“No.” The deep baritone of the officer resounded throughout the car.

“Okay.” Dean remarked and puckered his lips, thinking a little.

“Who was it that called you?” Dean asked again.

“I can't, or rather won't tell you,” the cop warned, “now shut your damn mouth.”

“No need to be rude, I thought we were vibing,” Dean said.

“What are you doing?” You whispered.

“Just being friendly,” he shrugged at you. You squeezed your eyes shut, taking a deep breath. You were already under so much pressure, and Dean wasn't making it any easier for you.

The police car came to a stop and the door on your side opened abruptly.

“Come out you two,” the cop barked out orders and you stepped out of the car, your hands still in cuffs but Dean was taking his sweet time to get out of the car. You rolled your eyes at his cockiness. The cop tapped his foot impatiently. Huffing, he reached out and grabbed Dean's arms, pulling him out of the car.

“Hey, hey no need to manhandle. This is a precious cargo, baby,” Dean smirked. You wanted to reach over and smack him on the head.

The cops shoved you into a cell. At least they put you together in one prison and told you that you get one phone call.

“So we don't exactly have a lawyer. I think we should call Mr. Singer,” you said, Dean nodding his head in agreement.

“You both are kidding me right? You want to make a call to one of the top tiers in the Bureau?” The cop laughed after you told him to whom you wanted to make a call.

“Yes.” You firmly stated

“Huh,” he had a mocking smile on his face, “shouldn't you call your lawyer? You really think that this federal agent can save you?”

“Yes because we are feds too. We were undercover on a mission and it was going really well until you arrested us and walked all over it,” Dean said in a hard tone.

“You expect me to believe you?” The cop had a smug smile on his face, “I have heard a lot of alibis but this one stands out - really original. Anyways, phone's yours. You get one phone call so I can't really refuse.”

You hurriedly dialed Bobby Singer's number and waited for it to ring.

“I hate him,” Dean exclaimed, “he is one cocky son of a bitch.”

“So kinda like you,” you said as a matter of fact. “Mr. Singer, it's Special Agent Y/L/N speaking,” you said into the phone when Bobby answered. Dean kept staring at you with a frown on his face, trying to read through the conversation you were having with Singer.

“Our phones have been confiscated….we got arrested..no! They found class A drugs with us….in the house….we don't know exactly, it can be possible….okay….both of us….sure, Sir,” you hung up the phone call after telling him the address of the police station you both were being kept.

“I see your phone call is done,” the cop said and guided you both towards your cell, “let's see if your federal agent shows up.”

“This is the worst thing to ever happen.” You exclaimed and started pacing around the small space inside the jail.

“You gotta stop pacing, sweetheart. We will figure it out,” Dean said.

“Really Dean? What is your plan?” You asked but he didn't say anything, “Exactly, we don't have a plan.”

“I am working on it,” he argued back.

“Hey you two, this is not a place for a couple’s fight. Save it for when you get out of here,” the cop guarding your prison cell warned.

“Yeah right. We’ll save it for when we get out of this shithole,” Dean turned towards you, “I promise we will get out of this mess.”

The next few hours were spent trying to figure out any possible way to prove yourselves innocent, but you both came up with zero ideas.

“So I guess we are back to square one, Y/L/N,” Dean said and leaned his head against the wall, closing his eyes.

“I am telling you Winchester, there is no way we are getting out of this. They caught us red handed for God's sake!” you exclaimed.

“No one's perfect. Neither is this person. There has to be a loose end and we have to find that,” he said, stretching his hands.

“What did you two idjits do?” Bobby Singer grumbled as he walked towards the prison cell accompanied by a cop. The latter started opening up the gate of the prison and went to get rid of your handcuffs.

“Ah it feels so good to finally be able to use your hands,” Dean said, “and no we didn't do anything. We were set up. This is all a set up.”

“I bailed you out,” you let out a sigh of relief at the words of your boss, “for now. We need to prove you both not guilty within one week. The court date is next week.” You both stepped out of the cell and started walking towards the main door.

“Well we only need to gather evidence and I am sure the bureau will-”

“No they won't. You are both suspended.” Bobby said and guided you towards the car.

“What?” You and Dean exclaimed together.

“The police caught you red handed. The bureau, no matter how good you are as a detective, they are not willing to keep you as agents anymore,” Bobby said, opening the door of the car.

“So what do we do now? We have no evidence, no resources,” you said.

“I know, but I will help you two to get out of this shit. I put you both in this situation, but first we are going back to the house. You will collect your belongings and we are getting out of Kansas,” Bobby said and started to drive the car back towards your house.

Let me know if you all want to tagged in this!

Ultimate Note (2020)

Episode 1

I put off watching this one for long enough, but I am back with my wildly inconsistent dmbj watch-blogging adventures! Gosh, do I miss this series.

I honestly love how barely anyone reprises their role in this franchise, and if you’ve been in for a few seasons worth of dramas, it barely even fazes you anymore. The cast this time includes Zeng Shunxi as Wu Xie, and his name did not ring a bell until I looked at his profile - he was Zhang Wuji from the 2019 Heaven Sword Dragon Sabre! Not sure what popular consensus is, but I liked his performance there. Then, we have Xiao Yuliang who is actually reprising his role as Zhang Qiling from the flashbacks in Tomb of the Sea. He doesn’t 100% fit my image of Zhang Qiling, but I thought that about Cheng Yi and ended up loving him, so. Cheng Fangxu is a new addition as Pangzi. Haven’t heard of him or seen any of his works.

Aside from the main cast, there’s Liu Yuning who is playing Hei Yan Jing??? I honestly would have pinned him more of a Xie Yuchen and I also forgot he is also an actor haha (I know him from Our Song/我们的歌).

That’s all the speculation from me, time to get into the episode itself!

Serious talk for a moment.

One of the reasons that this series is so appealing to me is the slow integration of the overarching conspiracies behind the mysterious places our main characters have visited, and the fact that the mysteries begin to tie into the characters’ histories and pasts is the motivation to keep watching. The character relationships are the glue that binds all of the zany events together.

This series is one where I seriously wondered why I was still watching it well into TLT2, because it isn’t the type of genre I usually watch. It just has a lot of charm, strong enough to endure the multiple cast changes and out of sequence timelines.

Anyways, episode 1, here I come.

I loved the opening sequence, as it gives you a mysterious vibe - the sort of wonder you get when you look at an abandoned building and try to imagine the lives that once inhabited it. I also appreciated the recap. It’s much needed at this point, especially given the timeline of the dramas’ release dates, the change in casts, and the absence of the heavenly palace arc.

The episode opens with a scene that will very soon become the bane of Wu Xie’s existence: Wu Sanxing running off without a word, leaving Wu Xie to chase after him looking for crumbs of the truth and possibly uncovering even MORE trouble than if his uncle simply told him what was up in the first place.

Then, of course, the highlight of my day was seeing Wu Xie so damn possessive of ANYTHING that involves Xiaoge. He snatched that box up so fast as soon as Pangzi said “Zhang Qiling” lol.

There’s also something hilarious about Pangzi being fed up with the empty tape and kind of joking about a hidden code in the static, only for Wu Xie and his uncle to take it seriously and take a closer look. Love the family resemblance lol.

I am definitely missing context with the whole heavenly palace/Changbai Mountain segment of the story but the great thing about dmbj is that I’ve long gotten used to missing parts of the story but can still enjoy what I’ve got right in front of me at the moment. Anyways, apparently Xiaoge is supposed to be elsewhere but he is actually once again stalking Wu Xie lol. Wu Sanxing was right, without his friends, Wu Xie probably would’ve died several times over at this point haha...

Ah Ning shows up again! Less antagonistic this time, and I really like how she is portrayed across the shows honestly. Definitely a sort of frenemy haha. It’s going to take me a bit to get used to this actress, I still prefer TLT2 Ah Ning the most out of all the ones who have played her I think?

Also lol at Hei Yan Jing following Xiaoge around.

??? Wu Xie doppelganger! Or is it the other way around? Now that’s not something I expected. Nor do I recall reading about it in a spoiler, which is pretty amazing given all the events I’ve spoiled for myself. Also has something to do with the missing women who were part of Wu Sanxing’s archeological expedition team...

Oh no, Wu Xie is going off alone on this one. He’s lucky that Xiaoge is following him, otherwise he’d probably end up being monster chow or something.

Really going for horror movie vibes with this one, haha. That creepy hand reaching for him under the bed and the accompanying soundtrack...

I love how he’s self-aware about his habit of waking the dead with his prodding around tombs and coffins lol...

Eeey, Xie Yuchen! Seems more straightforward than he was portrayed in TLT2, though perhaps that’s due to the situation/subject. 

And it looks like this notebook is starting to tie everything together.

Yes, Xiaoge, come save Wu Xie! He doesn’t even realize he’s got a creepy thing stalking him lol.

Ooh, blooper reel in the credits! I love bloopers haha.

Anyways, first episode done, and I look forward to seeing what the rest of the season has in store!

Past 1, 3, 6, 8 for Jason my beloved and Present 5-8 for Jenny annnd Future 2, 5, 7 for Helena! 😏

─ JASON

1. Briefly describe the way their parents grew up, and how it affected the way they raised them.

Both his parents were two regular middle class new yorkers, Frank (his dad) grew up in New York's suburbs and had a very conventional upbringing, he was the middle child of three siblings and thus kind of ignored so he usually just minded his own business... that very much carried over into adulthood, he was very reclusive and didn't really bother spending much time with his family -_-

Jason's mom, Gina, was a 2nd generation italian-american who grew up in a huge family with a billion siblings and cousins who are all very different from her husband. She liked it in the beginning but she became more and more unhappy and kind of underwhelmed. She really projected all her dreams of ever becoming someone on her kids that failed with her because she was stuck in a boring marriage with the most unambitious and boring man ever 😑

3. Describe their family. Who raised them, and who had the most impact on them? Did they have any siblings? Who were they closest to? What were the family dynamics like?

This ties in with the previous question but Frank was a bit of a loser, not particularly attractive and more timid & shy.. he was a very unambitious guy who worked a boring office job all his life without any intention of climbing the ladder. He really spent most of his time off work with his boring little loser hobbies :/

Gina was a much more spirited and lively person than her husband, Jason takes a lot more after her than his dad. She wasn't a great mother by all means due to the fact that she was unhappy in her marriage and with her life and kind of took that out on her kids, in a way where she placed certain expectations on them which Jason never really met. They weren't particularly close due to Jason's more.. rebellious nature he had as a kid, which in turn made him cause more trouble because that was the only way his parents gave him any attention at all :/ He also has an older brother, Richard, who their mother very obviously favored. Frank didn't really give a fuck about either of his sons -_-

He had a very close relationship with his mother's family though, particularly with one of her brothers. Carlo (said uncle) was a lot like him and never had any kids on his own so he became somewhat of a father figure to Jason :-)

6. Did the location they grew up in affect them significantly? Do they still go there?

He grew up in some little house in New York's suburb, not the prettiest house there because they didn't make enough for one of the nicer looking ones. He's not that fond of the boring suburbs (even in Boston), he spent more time in the city with his relatives and preferred that over his actual home. Other than that it didn't affect him much 🤷‍♀️

8. What was their childhood/teenage bedroom like?

A small little room with an ugly sports wallpaper that his parents never bothered to replace as he got older. It always looked a little messy and had a few mismatching mid-century decorations and furniture in there. As he grew older he started to cover the walls with random posters he had, to hide the ugly baseball wallpaper.

─ JENNY

5. What kind of people do they usually interact with? Who are their friends, the people they look up to/trust, and who are their “associates”?

She interacts with all sorts of people in New Bordeaux' criminal underworld - if you do anything illegal chances are you'll know Jenny. As for her actual friends, she's friends with the 3 other criminal 20 year olds in town, Danny, Lincoln, Ellis, unfortunately Giorgi (frenemies would be more fitting) and Lena. Her closest and best friends would definitely be Gavin (of @dannyburke fame)and Juliet (of @jennystahl fame) though, they're also pretty much the only ones who would fall into the "people she trusts" category... they're the only ones she'll have long weed induced therapy sessions at 1 am while the monkees are on tv.

6. What is their current relationship with their family?

Complicated... the love is there and all that, it's more of a business relationship though rather than a parent-child thing, especially with her dad. It's nothing that she ever questions (until aforementioned therapy sessions with her friends), she grew up in an environment where affection isn't really something she sees often and almost all her friends have messed up relationships with their parents too so while there is some resentment she never really questions that the way they raised her might not be ideal :c

The relationship with her siblings is complicated as well, especially because they're both a LOT younger than her. She was an only-child until the age of 13 and moved out of her childhood home when they were eight and six years old so there's this weird disconnect but there's a relationship nonetheless, which is weird. Eldest daughter AND only child disease 😓Not to mention that her parents are looking to make her little brother head of the family because he's a boy or whatever.. drama!

7. Do they have a partner? How did they meet, and what’s their relationship like now?

Yes.. she and Ellis met on some random job in the Hollow in 1963 that her dad was taking her along with (he and Sammy did random deals together and were also good friends 😌) and Jenny was like wow how boring. What if I just talk to this this guy's sons instead.... she thought he was some annoying teenage guy and only really talked to him whenever necessary (when her dad's business trips to Sammy's got REALLY boring). She forced herself to hang out with him more after Lincoln went to Vietnam and realized he's not so bad so they became friends :)

In actual game canon nothing really happens because he dies, Jenny just becomes sad that her friends were killed (him, Danny, Sammy and maybe Michael too because of Juliet connection.. she doesn't give a fuck abt Giorgi anymore that little rat can die) and wonders if she liked that goofy little guy with the ugly shirts, but in any case it's too late now.

We're doing au's here though (also this is as of '68) so in the good timeline they get together in 1968.. sort of. It's not a friends with benefits thing, more that sort of relationship that you know will end sooner or later for various reasons, so you're kind of living in the moment and have fun while it lasts. It IS genuine and not just about hooking up from time to time of course, it's just not the kind of thing that was built to last because it's based off of a dumb 20 year olds friendship and one of them (Jenny) doesn't really plan on sticking around in New Bordeaux. But well, who knows what will happen 😏

8. What hobby or pastime of theirs do they consider most important to them and why?

Well, she's big on making music, she plays the guitar and sings (she has a pretty nice voice c: ), she grew up in a pretty fucked up environment so that was her sort of escape in her youth, to be a normal kid who's playing the guitar very very badly. She doesn't play it badly as a 23 year old anymore of course and it's a little thing she shares with her best friends so that means a lot to her 😳

─ HELENA

2. Are they content with their future situation? Is there anything they would change?

Well, she's certainly not happy with the whole vampire situation - her dreams of becoming famous for acting were pretty much ruined, now she's legally dead and nothing more than a photo on true crime blogs and conspiracy theory websites... Famous but for the wrong reasons, in a way she's more bitter about "dying" before she had the chance to become famous than about the whole vampirism thing herself. There would have been something incredibly poetic about a beautiful young actress dying at the height of her career, now she's just some random nobody :/

It could be worse though. She's known among L.A. vampires for her lack of loyalty to any of the factions (despite her working for the Camarilla earlier) and her just helping whoever she feels like which is fine to her, most of them will just leave her alone. In any case, she's not in Los Angeles anymore after the events of Bloodlines!!

5. Did they get married or have a family? Why? If otherwise, why not?

See she would like to get married eventually, making a promise to love someone and be with them for eternity (literally... because... vampires) is incredibly romantic and she would love that (THIS is her wedding... not really because she's not that cringe but also.. yeah), so who knows what might happen.

Family though, no!! Starting one isn't possible, at least not with biological children since she's a vampire. It doesn't bother her that much, she always did envision herself with one child in the future but she's not desperate to be a mother anyway so she doesn't beat herself up about it. She does wonder what it might be like to have children and laments it from time to time (she's a little overdramatic) but overall she doesn't mind that much.

7. Are their friends still a part of their life? Are there people they are no longer in touch with, or newly important people?

Yes, sort of! As I mentioned before she's not in L.A. anymore post-bloodlines and she never had many friends there to begin with so she keeps in touch with the few she has there. She miiight make a few new (or old) connections once shes out of Los Angeles too, who knows!
