[Click image for better quality]

I FIGURED OUT A WAY TO FUCKING MAKE THE IMAGE SMALLER FOR POSTING ON TUMBLR WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE ACTUAL QUALITY OF THE IMAGE OH MY GOD

Ok so, what I did is go into the clip studio paint file, make a new file, copy and paste the group in the original file, merge everything, get rid of the extra stuff outside of the canvas, and then make the flattened image smaller and crop the canvas. Once you have that, export it and you're done. This helps maintain the actual quality of the image and also helps shrink the file size down to something actually postable (if anyone has a better way of doing this please tell me)

[Edit]: Ok I guess posting something to Tumblr just naturally compresses the image a bit more somehow because I'm looking at it now and zooming in too much makes it a bit blurry so I'm still gonna have to futz around with image quality for future pieces oof

Artist's Note:

I'm so glad I figured out a way to do this because I like working on a big canvas so I can get as much detail in as I possibly can. Only problems are how laggy it gets while drawing lol.

I had an idea for a drawing with Reimu and Zanmu because I really like thinking about their potential dynamic a lot. I also wanted an excuse to draw Zanmu again but in my normal rendering style because last time I drew her she was in my more sketchy style with generally flat colours so I wanted to draw her again. Speaking of, looking at the sketch for this is a jumpscare that I never enjoy seeing, like, man am I glad I didn't use those for my final piece.

Also about her spear. I was originally gonna make it like the ones she had in game, but it kinda threw off the whole piece. It was too big, too blue, and too flat, so I just went "fuck it" and gave her a different one instead. My headcanon justifying this is that the ones she uses in game are for danmaku battles whereas in any other fight she just uses a proper yari, or she still uses the yari and just makes it all glowy to power it up, maybe both lol. I pulled as much inspiration as I could from Sengoku era spears, and even put in some blue into the decorative part of the spear and also added a little skull to pay tribute to the original spear. Also, in my research I saw some art of izanami and izanagi making japan and saw that the yari izanagi has had a little decorative tassley thingy on it so I took some inspo from that and just made it one of Zanmu's tassles (Idk when that art was from or if the spear was still accurate to Sengoku period Japan but hey, probably the same reasons Eirin puts little bow ties on her arrows, it's just for personalization purposes).

I love rendering hair and clothes so much omg, while I like the super curly hair Zanmu, the longer, wavier hair suits her better for this drawing (I imagine it only does that like how Ghibli characters hair moves when they feel angry lol). I love making Zanmu's hair all messy and crazy, as well as giving her grey hairs, this woman has aged like a fine wine. Also, if the hem on the ends of her sleeves, top of her shirt, and her pants look like gold to you, that's because it is! It's fairly light so she's not collapsing under the weight, but it's gold! (I don't care how impractical it is, it's just cool). Not the undershirt though, it's made of a gold fabric. I had a cute idea with Reimu's hair to make it have a red shine to it. I also changed up Reimu's outfit so it isn't just a blob of red. I like it a lot when Reimu's skirt and outfit is segmented into different layers, so I wanted to incorporate that.

I tried to draw their hands differently as well, but IDK how noticeable that is. Also, I am super happy with how the side profiles for the two of them turned out, I used to struggle a lot with how to make the side profile of a character actually look like the character, so I'm really happy that they actually look like themselves.

Also added in the tree and rocks in the background as an homage to Zanmu's character art in Touhou 19, just because I was getting kinda stumped on what to do with the background lol.

In terms of a story idea with Reimu and Zanmu, idk why but the potential plotline of Zanmu wanting to ascend to godhood is so fascinating to me. Like, it is very possible that if she just convinced everyone she was a god (which would be very easy for her to do), she would become one in a heartbeat. Also, if she were to become a god, with her ability to return stuff to nothing, could she hypothetically get similar abilities to (Jojo Part 5 spoiler btw) GER? Like, idk about the death timeloop stuff, but the concept has been haunting me every night as I have been trying to find loopholes in GER's ability for a while now ( for no reason in particular). Back to the main topic, I imagine that she would probably tell Reimu that if she were to become a god she would take over the Hakurei shrine since the god there might as well be dead, and Reimu just says to her, "Over my dead body bitch." Like, I have no idea how to summarize their dynamic but like, it's the type of hero-villain dynamic where the phrase "We're not so different, you and I" would definitely be a phrase said during a fight. I think that if another IN style game were to release, Reimu and Zanmu would be in a team together. They could also have an interesting mentor and pupil kind of dynamic. Can you tell that Zanmu has been charging my mind rent these part few months? Like, instead of living in my head rent free, she kinda just uno reversed the whole situation and now she's the one charging me rent. What happens if I get evicted from my own brain? Actually, scratch that, I don't think I wanna know.

GIF Tutorial

Someone asked me how I made my gifs so HD so I decided to write a full step-by-step uuuh babyyy 🎶 tutorial + useful tips on every part of the process.

It is explained in detail, so people with 0% experience can try it for the first time, and the more experienced gif makers can focus on the parts they are interested in 👍 (click on the images to see them bigger)

Disclaimers: I am not a professional, I have learned by trial and error and by watching other amazing creators. I use photoshop CC 2019 in Spanish so some of the names may vary but I tried to use the more accurate English names and used colors as references so even in other languages you can still follow this tutorial.

GIF TUTORIAL STEP BY STEP:

1.- Open photoshop and create a new project. Then go to “files” 🠲 “import” 🠲 “convert video to frames” 🠲 this will send you to your video folder, and from there select the one you want. TIP 1: try always to download it in the best quality possible (1080p or 720p) so you will end up with “cleaner” HD gifs.

2.- When you select your video, then you will have to choose the specific moment or scene you want (you do this by selecting and moving the arrows at the bottom of the image) TIP 2: I usually limit every 2 frames, but if your scene is too short (less than 20 - 25 frames) then I suggest not clicking the limit and leaving it at 0, likewise if your scene has too many frames (over 70) then limit every 3 frames 👍 to make it smaller.

3.- Sometimes when you select your scene, a few extra frames will show up in your timeline, it’s ok, you can delete them by selecting the frames and clicking the trashcan icon at the bottom. Next, don’t forget to change the speed, you do this by selecting all the frames (click the first one then press SHIFT and click the last one, this will select everything), and then click one of the numbers below the image and select “Other”. TIP 3: Usually I use between 0,07 - 0,08 (my fav) - 0,09 from faster to slower. The speed will depend on the gif you are making. TIP 4: If you have PSDs colorings, now it’s time to add them, just click and drag your PSD on top of the image, and remember to make sure it is on top of all the frames and layers ( the ones on the side). Personally, I do it now, because when I do it later in the process there is always a few frames that won't color.

4.- Now that we have our desired frames, speed, and PSD coloring (optional), we need to make it easier to keep editing. So we need to click on the little icon with stripes at the top right corner on top of the timeline (the orange square) 🠲 “Convert timeline into video” 🠲 and now you should have one long frame instead of many single ones.

Now let’s do the same with the layers that are on the right (purple circle), once again click the first layer then shift-click on the last one to select everything 🠲 right click on one of the layers 🠲 “convert into a smart object” 🠲 and now all the layers also become one.

5.- What I like to do next is to cut and then resize (you can do it the other way around if you’d like) select the cutting tool on the left side (light blue circle) and then it is up to you to choose which shape do you want (in the purple circle) there are some basic proportions but you can also make your own.

6.- Now is where all the fun begins. Let’s resize our image so we won’t end up with a giant gif. to do this go to the “Image” tab on top of the screen 🠲 “image size”

TIP 5: To choose a good size, please keep in mind the standard sizes on Tumblr or other social media. If you are using one gif per row then the size should range between 540px - 560px - or 580px / If you are using 2 gifs per row then the size should be around 268px / and if you have 3 per row then the size should be around 177px. Once you select the appropriate size… this is where it gets tricky. Depending on the gif you are making you will have to select a different option ex: if your gif is too blurry or has lots of movement or grains if they are too dark or too light if the colors are too different, all these factors will determine what you need to use. TIP 6: I usually use only 3: bilineal - bicubic reduction or keep details 2.0 (the names may change in English but look for something along those lines or in the same place as the ones in the image with the green ticks)

7.- SHARPENING TIME!: go to “Filter” 🠲 “sharpen” 🠲 “smart sharpen”

As I have mentioned before, the amount will depend on the gif you are making, there is no perfect formula for all the gifs, so you need to play around a bit to find the perfect setting for your specific gif. TIP 7: This is what I normally use: amount: between 250 and 300 / Radius: 0,3px - 0,4px or 0,5 (but never over 0,5) / noise: anything between 0 and 50, now if you have a very blurry scene you can go up to 100 👍 and finally select the option “Grussian blur”.

Tbh I never change the “shadows” and “lighting” settings (they are always 50 -50 -1) If you know how to use them or want to play around, then go for it…. I have no idea how to 🤣 oops.

8.- BLUR: sometimes the gifs look TOO sharp so we need to add a blur filter. so go to “filter” 🠲 “blur” 🠲 “surface blur”

then once again, depending on your needs, you can play around with the settings. TIP 8: I normally use 10-6 / 9-4 / 7-4 or 3 / etc. but I never go over 10.

Also if you are noticing that your gif is still looking a bit blurry or with imperfections, due to the quality of the video, the scene is too complicated, etc. then I recommend adding noise on purpose 🤣 hey! if you can’t fight against the noise then put it on purpose and make the gif with a bit of texture and colors, it will look nice too 👍 go to “filter” 🠲 “noise” and then add the amount you want.

9.- Now we are almost done, you can leave it like that if you want or you can add some extra steps and play around with the brightness, exposure, color balance, gradients, filters, etc. you can find everything on your right (the yellow circle). Here is up to you to explore and experiment, I never use the same, it changes every gifset I make.

10.- You can add your watermark, images, texts, paint with the brushes, or do anything else with your gif. but this time I will skip these steps, but if you need extra information about something, please feel free to ask, and I will gladly help you 😊.

TIP 9: Before you save your gif, please make sure all the things you added are in line with your gif “video frame” 🠲 move the little arrow so it will end perfectly with your gif, if the others are longer, it doesn’t matter, you can move them or you can leave them there, the important thing is that the line is perfectly in line with your gif.

11.- Now there is nothing left to do, it’s finally time to save it for the web. Go to “files” 🠲 “export” 🠲 “save for the web”

TIP 10: Now you have two options: you can view your gif in the “optimized version” tab where it will show you one option that you can edit. If you select this option then these are the settings I always use, the only option that changes is: using pattern (the gif will have a small invisible “net” that will make the gifs look more uniform, use this especially when the lights or shadows and colors look grainy) or you can use Diffusion (to make it smoother and move flowy) you can try both and see which one suits your gif best 👍

and then the easier second option is to click the “4 copies” tab on top of the gif, and it will show you 4 different options, then you just select the one you like the best and it’s ready!

12 .- THE LAST STEP!!! TIP 11: make sure your final gif is smaller than 10MB (Tumblr's limit) and hit SAVE! and you are ready!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

This is our final result: A sexy Gojo 💙

Thank you for reading, I hope this helped you, and I can wait to see all of your creations! ✨

Feel free to tag me in your gifsets or to ask me any other question in case you need extra information or need me to explain something better 💖

Escape From Halloweentown {Jack Skellington x Reader} CHAPTER 4 - Doctor’s Appointment

Summary: When a game of hide-and-seek goes wrong, you find yourself lost in the woods without a way home. Whether it be fate, or just dumb luck, you suddenly find yourself in a far bigger predicament than you ever thought you would be- and it’s not just because you can’t seem to find your little brother.

Pairing: Reader / Jack Skellington. A very slow burn fic.

NOTE: This is a full-length fanfic! If you don’t want to read chapter by chapter on tumblr, please use the following links to read in a different format / on a different website!

Fic Below the Cut | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

You woke up suddenly, a loud clanging noise shaking the ground underneath your previously horizontal body. You sat upright, eyes darting around for any sign of the noise. Your vision was blurry and slightly blackened around the edges, as you had just been jolted from your slumber; you held your head and closed your eyes for a moment while the effects of your sleep faded away.

Below you, muffled voices chatted back and forth. You assumed one of them must have been Jack, but the other you had no ideas for. Kicking the blanket off of you, you rose, and started to walk toward the stairs to peak over the railing. The chain attached to your collar pulled taut right within an arms’ reach of the rail, and you clicked your tongue to yourself. Just great, you thought. Out of options, you opted to sit down and wait for someone to come retrieve you.

. . .

On the first floor of his very tall house, Jack sat patiently at his dining room table- which honestly looked more like a patio endpiece than a table. He yawned to himself and sipped from a tall clear glass- water, of course, was his beverage of choice. He tapped his foot impatiently and checked his watch for what may as well have been the hundredth time.

Unbeknownst to you, who had been sleeping soundly away upstairs, Jack had invited Doctor Finklestein to visit and give you a very human checkup. It was important for your health, and a book he had read stated that humans were supposed to get checked by a doctor frequently. Jack, of course, didn’t know when the last time you’d visited a doctor was, and since he didn’t bother asking, he’d called upon the Doctor to do whatever it is he would do. While Jack didn’t bother looking into what the exact processes were, he knew the could trust Dr. Finklestein.

As the seconds passed, creaking from the steps outside quietly pierced the silence Jack had been sitting in, and before the Doctor could knock, Jack threw open the door and greeted his guest with a wide grin.

“Doctor! I am so grateful you came!”

“Ah, Jack! Of course I would come- this is a very important and urgent matter, is it not?”

Jack nodded, letting him inside his home with all his tools dragging behind him. Igor, his assistant, also stepped inside the building, but he made no utterances. In fact, he stayed mostly in the background, looking to Dr. Finklestein for commands.

Jack clapped his bony fingers together and bowed ever so slightly to the Doctor as he spoke, not wanting to stand taller than someone he idolized. If only he could make headway in the scientific field! But alas, his visit wasn’t for Jack, but for you.

“Should I get her from upstairs?” He played with the thought of having to wake you up, but if he were honest he really didn’t want to do so. As oblivious as he was to almost everything around him, he knew that he scared you. It tugged at him in a way he couldn’t quite describe; he loved to scare people, and he loved their reactions, but the terror in your eyes every time you saw him made him… sad.

“No, that won’t be necessary. Take me to her, we’ll see what we can do.”

Snapped out of his briefly lived train of thought, he led the doctor to the base of the stairway. Taking notice of his wheelchair, he stops and raises a brow-bone. To his surprise, the Doctor flicks a switch and the wheels recend into the chair, easily replaced by some sort of spider-esque appendage that can easily navigate the stairway. Jack was taken aback, but it wasn’t out of the ordinary for the Doctor to have some sort of machine prepared for all sorts of circumstances. Jack watched the stairs as he climbed them, thinking about whether or not you would be awake when he reached the top.

. . .

Mechanical whirring got closer and closer to the top of the stairs, and Jack’s head peaked out from the hole in the floor. You, of course, were slightly confused before Jack stepped aside and Doctor Finklestein appeared. You had gotten somewhat used to Jack’s presence, even though he still scared you tremendously. He was a constant that you could rely on, as he’d proven to you time and time again over the past few days that he was not here to hurt you. Despite this, this new monster climbing up the stairs scared the shit out of you. While you were expecting Jack and seemed somewhat calm, the presence of the wheelchair-bound scientist shocked your system into being filled with adrenaline. Your heart started beating out of your chest, but surprisingly, you sat still in the bed. Your gaze, however, never moved from the Doctor. Jack turned to you, but you only saw him from your peripheral vision. “This is Doctor Finkelstein. He’ll assess your bodily needs. He’s trained in this sort of thing, so you have no need to worry.” He cracked a smile meant to soothe, but you felt the exact opposite.

The Doctor’s chair approached, this time on wheels, and you leaned back out of instinct. “Stand up.”

His voice was not what you were expecting. You didn’t want to obey his command, and you were caught in between wanting to sit still and get it done and over with. You looked at Jack, silently asking for reassurance, and he nodded as if to grant it. You slowly rose, eyes back on the Doctor.

He motioned for you to step out into the middle of the room, and slowly you did so. The chain was pulled off of the floor, and it jingled as it did so, but it was not pulled taut. It was left dangling, slightly pulling at your collar- you readjusted it with two fingers, running it along the length of where it connected to your neck. You swallowed as the Doctor circled you, probably looking up and down at your form from behind his glasses. You kept your eyes glued to the floor, trying to steady your pulse. The Doctor stopped circling, and moved closer back to Jack. After a moment of silence, he yet again spoke another demand.

“I need you to take those off, please.”

Your face went red as he gestured to your clothes. “What?”

“I need to assess you for any bruising, rashes, hives, constipation… I assure you it is very necessary for me to know whether or not you are healthy.” The Doctor sat patiently, as if it were the most normal thing in the world to ask a girl to take off her clothes. You, on the other hand, suddenly felt hot. There was no doubt that you were blushing, but you were also burning with annoyance. Why were you subject to these types of things? Why did you have to be constantly humiliated? “Do I have to?” You sounded weak, like a little girl rather than the adult you almost were.

Doctor Finklestein nodded frankly. “It is necessary.”

You swallowed, hard. You didn’t trust the Doctor, and while you were growing to trust Jack, this had just shattered any amicable feelings that had been starting to appear. You looked to Jack, and to your surprise, he was looking out the window, not even paying the slightest bit of attention to you. Your heart dropped. Was he ashamed of what he was letting happen? Or was he being polite toward you? Your head hurt at trying to figure out what he was doing, but for some reason your gut wanted to forgive him. Just like that, and so soon.

You started to shake. Your nervousness was getting the better of you and suddenly you felt like crying. You started to tear up as you grasped the hem of your shirt, raising it so that your belly was exposed. Smooth skin was revealed, but that was as far as you could pull yourself to go. The Doctor accepted it for now and moved forward once more, eyeing your belly for any marks. He reached out a gloved hand and pressed below your naval, assessing for anything that could be bothering you internally. His wheelchair raised in height, and he reached up your shirt from behind. He pressed a hand firm to your chest while a cold metal instrument touched your back, and you arched your spine as a reaction. “Breath, girl. Your heart is racing.”

If you hadn’t been in such a compromising position, you would have laughed at the irony. You took a few deep breaths and your pulse calmed somewhat. You closed your eyes and tried to imagine that this was just another checkup- you’d just recently had your yearly physical, and so you tried to think of that memory instead.

“Much better.” He moved to your front, assessing your eyes, ears, and throat. He, too, pulled at the collar slightly, noticing the redness from where it rested. He hummed in thought, seeming to make a note of it. Once he was done, he’d sunk back to his normal wheelchair-bound height, and you were happy it was over.

But it was not.

“Jack, I can tell that she doesn't trust me. Do you want to check her over, please? Bruising, rashes… anything I should be aware of.”

At this point, Jack was just as shocked as you were to the Doctor’s statement. He turned his attention from the window to you, showing embarrassment for the first time you’d known him. He didn’t want to disobey the Doctor, though, so he nodded as the scientist turned around. He stepped forward stiffly, an apologetic look on his face. You dropped your shirt and took an instinctive step back, hands in front of you in a defensive position.

To your surprise, he mouthed an apology and reached his hand out, bony palm facing upwards. He was waiting for your permission, it seemed. After a few long moments of hesitation, you put your left hand in his. You had decided to trust him, even though every nerve ending in your body was on fire and your gut practically shrieked at you not to.

Carefully, he grasped your hand as he rolled up your sleeve. His touch was surprisingly gentle, and he trailed his fingers up your arm with his free hand. You held your breath, your skin tingling at the places where he touched. He nodded to himself, affirming that there were no abnormal things on your skin. He switched arms, doing the same thing to your other side. He was slow, frequently looking up at you to gauge your reaction. For some reason, his touch soothed you, and his gaze calmed you. He finished with your arms, kneeling down and grasping your right calf with a feather-light touch. He looked up at you, and you nodded your approval. He did the same thing to both of your legs, stopping at the knee. He pointed to your thighs, his head tilting as if to ask ‘is there anything there?’, and you shook your head. He rose from his place on the ground, and then moved behind you.

He touched your waist, phalanges pressing against your skin as he reached into your shirt. You felt his presence right behind you, close enough that you both were nearly touching. He made his way upward to your belly, and then to your ribs, carefully probing you for any bumps or hot spots he could find. Luckily, there were none.

He then moved to your lower back, his thumbs moving in small circles along your spine. He reached upward to your upper back, trailing his fingers across your shoulder blades, and then to the mound of muscle atop your shoulders. He squeezed lightly, eliciting a jolt from you. Immediately he apologized, barely touching you as he pulled his hands away from your body. He moved around to your front, and hesitantly placed both of his hands on either side of your neck just above the collar. He was focusing on touching you, and you were focused on his face; his skull was smoother than you remember seeing it, his eyes pits rather than endless voids. His mouth was slightly open, and inside you glanced at what you thought was a tongue. The more his fingers moved around your face- under your jaw, grasping the sides of your head- the more your gaze was pulled to his eyes.

Finally, he brushed your hair out from your face, tucking it gently behind your ears. There he held your skull, his gaze meeting yours.

In this moment, your body was at an absolute calm. Your heart beat slowly, and your nerves had completely subsided. You both looked at each other, and for the first time you didn’t see Jack as a cruel monster, but rather a creature with a humane heart.

You didn’t blink, but you glanced down to his expression. His mouth was still slightly parted, but his features were completely relaxed.

He leaned in the tiniest amount, barely enough to be noticable. You breathed in, leaning forward as well, but not enough to close the distance between the two of you.

You raised your arms and found his elbows, gently holding them. This startled Jack out of his trance, and he swallowed before he murmured an apology and untangled his digits from your scalp. The back of his hand brushed against your palm, lingering for a second before he stepped back and turned to tap the Doctor on his shoulder.

“There was nothing to note, Doctor.” He reported this plainly, as if what had just happened was not significant to him at all. You felt your heartstrings pull, but you were quick to push this feeling down. Feeling awkward, you held your hands in front of you, as if you were closing the pair ahead off from your body.

The Doctor nodded. “Then, from what I’ve gathered, you are perfectly healthy.”

You fought the urge to laugh. Of course you were! Unless these monsters had some hidden disease within their village, you were going to be fine. Jack thanked him for his time and led him back down the stairs, this time with a short wave at you before his head sunk below the floor. You sighed. They were gone again, and once more you were left alone in this attic with nothing more than the decor around you and your own thoughts.

You looked at the dog bed where you’d been sleeping, weighing the option of comfort versus entertainment. With a brief moment passing, you instead decided to wander toward the nearest bookshelf which you could just reach. From what you could observe, the shelves seemed to be sorted by genre, and then in alphabetical order within that. The genre you had been able to reach was Action / Adventure- you skimmed through book titles and picked one that seemed like it could be good.

You flipped through its pages and nodded to yourself, sitting back down on the bed and beginning to read. If you were going to be here for hours, days, alone, you might as well be entertained.

. . .

Jack walked silently down cobble streets, a frown replacing his normally smiling face. His hands were locked behind him as he wandered, his skull racing with thoughts of the human person he’d been keeping in his house for a few days now. He didn’t even know her name, yet he’d touched her so tenderly that she’d gone completely calm. He remembered the feel of her skin, the way her breathing deepened when he was around her, and the way she stared into his soul. He almost made a mistake- he’d almost let himself go to that feeling, to the feeling that she made him feel, and he’d almost succumbed. He’d almost-

“Jack!”

Jack looked up, his name startling him out of his thoughts. Coming in his direction was Sally, a longtime friend of his. She waved toward him cheerily, and Jack couldn’t help but smile. Standing up straight, he waved back, welcoming her presence.

“Jack, it’s been so long! I was starting to worry about you, you know.” Sally looked down at the ground, drawing shapes into the ground with the toe of her shoe. Jack noticed, and reached a gentle palm out to her shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

“I’m fine! Really, I’ve never been better.” He cracked a large grin for her, though deep down he was feeling all sorts of tumultuous emotions.

Sally eyed him for a moment before she accepted his claim. “Good. I’m always here for you, though. And sometimes, I get lonely.” She glanced back up at him, her slow hints reaching him late.

“Well, it is that time. I get called everywhere to help out, and I’ve got some things to take care of at home. I can find time to go out for lunch with you… how about a picnic? I could-” Jack was cut off by Sally, who was shaking her head.

“You don’t have to do that! I guess I just miss when we had time together, but if you’re busy, I understand.” She looked sincere, as if she really didn’t want to bother anything Jack was doing. She would be lying if she said she didn’t miss her old friend, though, and deep down she wanted nothing more than to be with him as much as possible. Jack, however, just acknowledged her thoughts. “Well, as long as you understand. I’ll let you know next time I’m free, alright? We’ll get together then.” He nodded and soon, the pair parted from one another. Jack was now heading home, wanting nothing more than to curl up with a good book near the fireplace, drinking a hot drink while the human sat next to him, dozing off. He smiled at the thought before he realized that he’d been thinking of the girl again- he shook it off and quickened his pace.

Sally, on the other hand, walked in the opposite direction. She couldn’t help but think he was acting a little… different. She hoped he’d be free soon, if not for their convenience, for Jack himself.

. . .

The door slammed, and you jerked your attention from the book to the area around you. You blinked hard a few times, the black and white lines seared into your vision. Just outside the window, the sun was starting to set, casting an orange glow across the black and white marble floors. You closed the book you had been reading and set it on the floor next to you, stretching out your stiff muscles. Maybe Jack should invest in a more comfortable reading nook, you thought, before you caught yourself and pushed the thought away. You wouldn’t be staying here longer than you had to, you’d decided, so thoughts like those served only to be counterproductive to your goals.

After some time, Jack rose from the staircase, a steaming tray and glass in hand. Your mouth started to water, and you’d grown accustomed to receiving meals and drink from the monster. He sat them both on the floor in front of you without a word, and before you could thank him he was descending the staircase once more. Puzzled, you began to eat, finishing your meal without his presence for the first time since you’d been captured.

He didn’t come back up when you were done to collect your dishes. In fact, he didn’t come up at all after that. It was almost like he’d been avoiding you. You sighed and crumbled near the window, watching as the moon rose high in the sky above you. You hoped that somewhere out there, Thomas was safe and sound. You imagined that he was just messing with you, that he never went far into the forest, and he’d come home and waited for you until Dad got there. Were they looking for you now? Did any of your school friends know? Did they… miss you?

Tears filled your vision, but you didn’t wipe them away. You let them build, and you let them fall. You cried quietly, hands gripping at the windowsill to redirect them from clawing at yourself. The pain you felt was overwhelming. You almost wished you would die.

You felt utterly defeated. You willed someone to come take you back- the police, your dad, another monster that could free you, even. But of course, none of that happened. Slowly, you wore yourself down until the windowsill felt comfortable, crying yourself to sleep only moments later.

YANDERE SPRINGTRAP WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. THIS HAS TO BE REAL

YAAAAAAS!

He's already a killer, so he probably wouldn't be above killing people that get too close for his liking-

Or-

Oooooooooh! Hurting Matt!

William in canon also has been shown to be very smart, so it wouldn't be surprising if springtrap can use his and Matt's minds against the poor game developer-

to my beloved // h.p

pairing : harry potter x reader

summary : when harry learns you’ve gone missing, he hits rock bottom. no one can reach out to him until a peculiar letter ends up in his possession.

warnings : ANGST (happy ending???), swearing, post-war, alcohol/implied alcohol abuse, violence (against inanimate objects), missing person/presumed dead, mentions of food

word count : 1.3k

author’s note : hi!! this is my very first fic posted on tumblr, so i hope you enjoy. i’m actually really proud of this one, as it was inspired by my favorite song “play this when i’m gone” by machine gun kelly. also, thank you for the support on my masterlist! it means the literal world. also my favorite writers followed me and i am freaking out. sorry for the this long note,,, i tend to ramble. enjoy!

( disclaimer : gif is not mine! )

It had been months since the war had ended. While the wizarding world was still healing, the future for it had become hopeful. The threat of war had hung over the heads of the community, so once it had been taken away, everything was reborn. Bustling crowds and children’s laughter had filled Diagon Alley once more; the boarded up shops had now opened up, gleaming with pride. Many felt grateful for this new age.

The last person people expect to be so devastated was Harry Potter. Afterall, he was the one that killed Voldemort. Good things don’t happen to heroes, as someone had once told him. He gave everyone that hope, but he couldn’t find it in himself. Why, you may ask? Well, my friend, he found out you were among the missing people in the aftermath of the war. The love of his life, his sunshine, his darling had been snatched from him.

Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but sometimes he wishes that he hadn’t gone to the forest to face Voldemort. Sometimes he wishes he had hid away in Shell Cottage with you and grown old together. When he decided that was selfish, he tried to find other ways he could have won that war with you by his side.

He knew he couldn’t. What happened was the only true ending.

A sigh fell from his lips as the bottle was barely held by the tip of his fingers. The bedroom reeked of firewhiskey, which wasn’t a surprise since there was a surplus of them scattered across the floor. He took a final sip before letting this bottle join the rest.

Of course, Ron and Hermione had attempted to help. They had kept it up for a couple months through staying at his home and making meals for him. Hermione tried reading to him, while Ron kept his friend updated with Quidditch and the Weasley family. This had come to an abrupt halt, though, after a particularly angry outburst from Harry. They had given him one last look of sympathy before apparating.

That had been months ago, and since then, Harry had been trapped inside his mind and flat.

“You never do anything fucking right. First, you lose the love of your life. Next, you ruin the relationship between you and your best friends. You’re fucking alone, and you’re going to die that way.” He seethed with anger just looking at himself in the small mirror. He continued to glare at himself for a few more minutes before grabbing the mini dresser and slamming it into the floor.

Glass shattered, while his old Hogwarts uniform and merchandise tumbled out. Violence was an often thing for the items in his home. Usually after a bottle and self-degrading speech, he’d destroy something to let the anger fizzle. The aftermath of this, though, was a bit of a coping mechanism, as he would fix things by hand instead of using magic. It let his mind breathe; focus on anything but his self-hatred.

He crouched down to pick up his Gryffindor scarf, wrapping it around himself and relishing in its warmth with shut eyes. It reminded him of the freezing wind that nipped at his skin whenever he went out to visit Hagrid, or the times his roommates were challenging who could put on the most layers. These memories let him be at ease. They always transported him from the harsh reality to the happier days.

Once he allowed himself to come back, his eyes scanned for something that would ground him to the real world. He expected to find a bottle to do so, but instead laid eyes on an unfamiliar envelope at his feet. It couldn’t have been his Hogwarts letter, as this one did not bear the mark to close it. However, there was a date written at the top in an all too familiar handwriting. Then, it clicked.

Your handwriting.

Harry scrambled to grab the paper. It was sliding all over the hardwood floor when he kept grabbing at it recklessly. After a struggle that felt like forever, he held the envelope in his shaking hands. Yes, that was definitely your handwriting within the date that read “31 July 1997.” He flipped it over to find “To My Beloved” written across the front.

It felt as time had stopped, as he carefully pulled the flap from its seal. To him, it was like he was touching a part of you. Granted it was written over a year ago, but the small spark of hope held onto it anyways. Slowly, he pulled out the folded up paper inside. Deep breaths, he thought. He did quite the opposite, though, as his breath hitched when he read it.

Hi there, Harry. I hope you’re doing well.

If you find this, there’s a good chance something happened to me.

Already, tears pricked his eyes. He continued, despite his semi-blurry vision.

Please don’t fret though. Things happen for a reason, remember? If you hadn’t stayed in the hospital wing after your bone disappeared, you wouldn’t have met me and my major clumsiness. I’d like to think that’s another reason Lockhart’s git self had ended up as teacher; for our chance to meet.

It’s ok to cry, but please don’t think that it’s your fault. I am so in love with you, Harry James Potter. I dedicated my life to you. I promised you I’d follow you until the end, and I followed through.

Since I filled my promise, please promise that you’ll live; that you’ll find that happiness in your life again. You’re the best damn seeker I know, so don’t go telling me that you can’t. I mean, I’m sure you killed Voldemort and brought light into the dark world. You deserve to be in that light. Don’t dwell on the past, my love. Focus on the future. All I want is for you to be happy.

I know we never got married, but I knew you were mine from the beginning. The box with this letter; I thought I’d give it now before it was too late. In marriage, you want the best for your partner. That’s exactly what I want. When you wear this, please remember to do whatever you can to be happy. If not for you, then for me.

I love you, Harry Potter. I am so proud of you.

Yours, Y/N

The letter would be covered in wet spots if his glasses hadn’t taken the fall. He let out a choked sob as he clutched the letter to his chest. His eyes scanned the area for the aforementioned box, and found it between a few bottles. One hand darted out and snatched it up, while the other kept a tight grip on the now wrinkling letter. Slowly, he flicked open the lid with his thumb.

A wedding band glistened against the little light peeking through the blinds. Upon seeing it, he hesitantly let the letter fall onto his lap and went to take the jewelry instead. His hands shook as he grabbed it and slipped it into his finger. A perfect fit, of course.

Maybe, just maybe, the ring was magic. It must be, as there was a strange feeling bubbling in his chest. Happiness? Love? Hope? He sifted through a few emotions before landing on a feeling of content. This letter was the closure he had been subconsciously grasping for. Now that he had it, he felt reconciliation with his mind.

Harry pushed himself up to stand, and with shaky legs, he made his way to his home phone. He made sure one hand held the paper that brought him much peace, while the other dialed the number. It rang a few times before a familiar voice answered. A final deep breath before he responded.

“Hermione? I think.. I think I’m ready to change.”

!taglist! @/empty :(

before you read | last chapter | next chapter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're suddenly in a beautiful part of the park. You didn't see this on your little mini tour, but it was magical. Spencer took you over to a giant tree on a small hill off the pond. The light from the moon made the water twinkle as the two of you sat under the tree. You felt like you were in a fairytale, and this was like a forest filled with fairy magic. It had rained a bit sometime in the late afternoon, so the ground beneath you and the leaves on the trees sparkled with dew drops. The sight of it all filled you with wonder. The night hadn't even really started yet and already you wished the sun never came up again. This couldn't end.

Spencer sat against the tree as he rummages through his bag to find his pen. "I'm speechless," You said as you sat down diagonal of him, "This place is breathtaking."

"I tend to come by here to read when I can't sleep or during the day having trouble on a case," said Spencer, "I found this spot around the time I first joined the BAU. It keeps me grounded."

You grab your pen out of your bag and hold it in your hands, waiting for Spencer. He finally finds his in the bottom of his bag and takes it out. You click your pens on and Spencer froze, not knowing what to do.

"Do we...cheers?" He asks, "Like we do when we drink?"

"Not usually, no," you chuckled, "But if you want to we can."

"You sound like you've done this before, Y/N."

"Meh, I experimented a bit in high school and college. But I never did it everyday like my classmates. Just here and there if I was really stressed."

Spencer brings his pen close to yours. "Well, cheers!" He says awkwardly.

"Cheers!" You giggle.

You both take three or four hits. On the last hit, Spencer started coughing. "Did you accidentally take a really big hit?" You ask.

"I think-" He coughs again, "-so!"

After his little coughing attack, you both laugh. You shift your weight onto your elbows. Legs straight out, you let the high take over your body. Spencer puts his head against the tree. He takes a couple more hits and let's it hit him. You start to feel the tingles again through your body and your eyes getting heavy.

"I wonder what the percentage of these carts are," you said, "I should ask Garcia."

"It must be a lot if I already feel like I smoked a whole blunt by myself."

"Well I was gonna that it's just because you're a beginner so you'll be a lightweight, but now you sound like you've done this before, Doctor."

"I swear I just know my research! I've never smoked before last night."

"Mmhmm, surrrre," you said as you started to get up from the ground, using the tree as support, "I'm sure it was just for that paper."

You grab your bag and rub the grass and dirt that was on your pants. You give a hand to Spencer as he gets up and you start heading outside of the park. You both stood there, looking around. "So, is there anywhere you'd like to revisit?"

You think for a moment. "How about the Lincoln Memorial?"

"Perfect!"

He lends his arm out and you link yours with his as you walk to the Lincoln Memorial. There was a nice cool breeze as you walked under the city lights, your blurry vision making it feel like you were in a movie. You looked up at Spencer and saw that his eyelids were a little bit lower than usual. You felt panic hit you as you unlock your phone and open snapchat. Turning the flash on, you look at the top of your phone and took a photo. You looked at your eyes and noticed they were a bit pink, but nothing to worry about.

"You ok?" asked Spencer.

"Yeah, I'm fine. My eyes get red easily when I'm high so I'm just checking."

"My dear, you look quite marvelous if I do say so myself!" He says, using a british accent, which made you laugh.

Finally, you made it to the memorial. You debated on climbing all those steps to the top, but Spencer made a bet that he could beat you to the top, and you weren't going to back out of a challenge. You both speed up the steps but Spencer beats you.

"Who's the pussy now, huh?" Spencer teases from what you said the night before, out of breath.

You put your hands on your knees, trying to catch yours. "Very funny, Doctor."

Once your breathing went back to normal, you slowly walked closer to the statue, admiring it. "You know," you began, "While my love for crime fighting was my whole life, I had a small interest in President Lincoln. I have no clue why, but I've been reading books about him since I was 4."

You paused for a moment, then turned around to face Spencer. "I have a fact for you, Doctor," you began, but then Spencer cut you off.

"You know you can call me Spencer or Spence, right? Come to think of it, you're the only one who calls me Spence."

"Ok, well Spence," you restated, "Have you heard of the theory that he might've been a closeted gay or bisexual man?"

"No actually, I haven't heard much on it only that it was debunked."

"That is true, but if it wasn't debunked I'd see him more as a closeted bisexual man, not gay."

"Why do you say that?" asked Spencer.

"Because people always forget about it. Bisexuality is real. He truly loved Mary with all his heart and would do anything for her, but I'm sure he questioned his sexuality at some point and just never went deeper into it."

You paused again, seeing if he was paying attention. You then turn back to face Lincoln and continued, "Take Freddie Mercury, for example. Now when he came out to his Mary, he came out as bisexual. But the public just took it as that he was gay because bisexuality wasn't seen by the public as a real sexuality, even Mary. It makes me angry at how long biphobia went on for. As someone who is bisexual, I don't want to feel like a ghost. I want to feel real."

Spencer slowly walks up behind you and puts a hand on your shoulder. He turns you around and you look up at him with glassy, pink-colored eyes. "Y/N, you are real. Everything about you is to me."

You put your hand on top of his, not breaking the look into each other's eyes. Or well, what you could see through his eyelids.

*The two of you then headed down the steps carefully and continue on your tour. But it slowly ended as you ended up walking down the empty streets. At one point, you ended up on cobble road. The two of you were pretty baked, as you would take more hits whenever no one was looking or there weren't too many people walking or driving. Spencer began to act like he was on a tight rope as he walked along parking blocks. He held your hand for support, trying not to fall and twist his ankle.

*You felt content. You never really experienced something like this before, but you always dreamt about it. You never really went out much when you were in school. You focused all your time in your room, working on schoolwork and keeping up with what Rossi was doing in the BAU and the cases they were working on. Rossi was like an idol to you. Ever since you met him, you wanted to do what he was doing; Saving people and getting the bad guys, protecting citizens. But you always dreamt of having an adventure like this with a true friend, and even though you had only known Spencer for a week now, he already was like that true friend.

*But you were also feeling something more. There was something about Spencer holding your hand that just felt...right. It was so hard to explain, even to yourself as you tried to figure out what you were feeling exactly. Maybe it was just the high you were feeling, but looking at his face, Spencer seemed to be quite cute. So cute, that you felt butterflies.

*He jumps off a parking block under a tall street lamp and grabs your other hand in his. He looks down to you as you look up. Finally, his lips lock with yours and you don't stop him. You kiss him back as your arms wrapped around each other, feeling every inch of each other's bodies.

Spencer breaks the kiss and cups your face in his hands. "Do you want to continue our little fun we had the other night?" he asked, almost in a raspy tone.

You nodded and kissed him again.

hello! please ignore my question if it bothers you, but i wanted to ask how you make your gifs so high quality? thank you for your wonderful graphics and i hope you have a great day!

Hello~ Thank you Anon for finding my gifs high quality ;;w;; I always find them so trashy compared to some of my mutuals that make such clean gifs. I made a tutorial a few years ago, but I changed my way of making gifs so here’s a new one ! Hope it will help you, I tried to be as accurate and detailed as possible, but if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me another ask ! You can also try to read other tutorials on tumblr ! Have a nice day ♡ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )

PS: GIF TUTORIAL *updated*

STEP 1 : DOWNLOAD VIDEOS

First of all, you will have to download the video you want to gif. Since I make anime gifs, I usually download my videos on nyaa.si (720p or 1080p). Your video must be .mp4

STEP 2 : CHOOSE THE MOMENT YOU WANT TO GIF

So you open Photoshop. Go to File > Import > Video frames to layers. Select your video. A window should pop-up. This is when you will select the moment you want to GIF.

Check “Selected range only”. Select the moment you want by moving the sliders. Once it’s selected, click on OK.

STEP 3 : DELETING FRAMES

So you clicked on OK and imported the video to frames. You will have something like this :

Now you can delete the frames that you don’t want to appear on the gif. You just have to select the frame (will have a light gray border, like on the first frame on the pic below), and click on the bin icon which is below the frames.

Then, we will select all the frames. Go to the drop down menu and choose “select all frames”. The drop down menu is here :

With all your frames selected (all the frames have a light gray border), you can change the time. Most of the time, I use 0,04s, but sometimes if the gif is too short I change it to 0,05s.

STEP 4 : ANIMATION BAR TO TIMELINE AND RESIZING

After that, we will convert the animation bar to a timeline. Select all your frames, and click on this :

A timeline will appear.

Then, go to the right bottom of your photoshop, where your layers are. Select all your layers (=scroll up or down, hold shift and click on the last layer).

Now, go to Filter > Convert To Smart Object. You will have only one line in the timeline like so :

Then, you will change the dimensions. You go to Image > Image Size. A window will pop up. You enter the dimensions you want (540px, 268px…) and click on OK. I don’t know if it happens to others but when I change the dimensions, a white border appears around the whole gif, as you can see below (idk why).

So I usually increase the dimensions by 2 px (for a 268 px gif I choose 270 px for example), so I can crop the borders and still get the right dimensions for my gif.

STEP 5 : SHARPEN THE GIF

Now, the important stuff. How to make your gif as HQ as possible. First of all, the settings really depend on the anime. Every now and then I have to change my settings because it doesn’t look good with this or that anime. BUT my go to thing to do is :

- Duplicate the gif : click right on the gif layer and choose Duplicate the layer

- Set the opacity of the above layer to 10%-30%. Most of the time, I use 30%, but depending on the anime, it might be too blurry in the end. For this gif of Itadori, I decided to go with 10%.

- Use the glaussian blur : Select the same layer and go to Filter > Blur > Glaussian Blur. A window will pop up, choose 1 px.

- Use Surface blur : now, you’ll select the layer below and use the surface blur (Filter > Blur > Surface Blur). The numbers may vary a lot here, because I want to make the gif look the cleanest possible but without erasing too much details. Most of the time I use 3 to 6 ratio, or 4 to 8, really depends on the details and the anime. Here, I’m gonna use 3 pixels and 6 levels.

NB : The gif might become a little transparent on the borders, so I usually create a black layer that will go below all the layers.

- After that, we will sharpen the gif. Select the same layer (the one below), you go to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. Then you just adjust the sharpening to your liking. As for me, it’s most of the time 120% (varies between 80-150%) and 0,3px. Be careful not to oversharpen. Your gif will look worse than if it wasn’t sharpened. I’m choosing 120% here.

- To make the sharpening smoother, I usually go in the blending options (double click on the little arrows next to Smart Sharpen, as seen below) and choose darken (the blending mode depends on the scene, on brighter gifs lighten might look better, try it and see what you prefer).

STEP 6 : COLORING THE GIF

You can save it as it is or color it so the colors are prettier. For that you will use the settings there :

Or you can use a .psd already made (you can download them on resources blogs). Here, I’ll be using one I made. So you open the file (File > Open) and you select the one you downloaded. Click on the folder of the psd and drag it on your gif.

Be careful ! The more you change the colors, the grainier the gif is gonna get. You can find some tutorials on how to color gifs on tumblr, I’m definitely no pro lmao I usually click everywhere until it kinda works out ^^’

STEP 7 : SAVING THE GIF

Now it’s time to save the gif ! FINALLY ! Go on File > Save for web. You will have a lot of settings. First, before saving make sure the looping option is set on “forever”. Then, be sure that your gif is NOT wider than 10Mb (i think it is the latest limit, i’m not sure ^^’). If it is, try do delete some frames or adjust the colors, select pattern… Play around with the settings until it’s under 10Mb. Then, click on save and it’s done !!!

#tutorials #i hope it will help you !!!#I'm definitely no pro but I did become better with time #have a nice day Anon !#replies #anon

Make no mistake. I don't give a FUCK about No way Home. I hope we get 3 Tom Hollands, I hope dudebros cry and hate the movie.

IF YOU SEE ME TALKING ABOUT SPIDERMAN I MEAN MILES MORALES IN ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE, AND MILES MORALES IN ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE ONLY.

MCU fandom, I have a question...

Where is all the fan fiction?

Where is the fic where Sambucky go looking after Wanda in between missions because they don't want SWORD to find their friend first?

Where is the fan fiction where Peter Parker sees Sam's speech and is proud of the new cap cuz he sensed something fishy was going on with Walker?

Where is Sambucky watching Spiderman's identity being revealed to the world and they deciding that they have to do something?

Where is the fan fiction of Pepper and Morgan doing the same thing and trying to help?

Where are the "Peter Maximoff and the hexagang" meet Sam and Bucky while looking for Wanda?

Where is fic where Peter Maximoff annoys the hell out of Sam and Bucky?

WHERE IS THE FIC WHERE Peter Maximoff bonds with BUCKY because they both kinda lost their memories, while they are looking for Wanda?

Where his the fanfic, where Doctor Strange interrupts a Sambucky dinner BECAUSE he found Wanda, but he needs a friendly face (Sam) to approach her, because Stephen and Wanda don't really know each other?

Where is the fic where they Find Wanda with the help of the Hexaganag, they also find Peter P/M and they all go hiding in Luisiana, where they all slowly go "wait... Those two are a couple??"???? (plus this one is perfect for 5+1 fics)

WHERE IS SCOTT HYPING THE HELL OUT OF SAMCAP?? EH?? where???

Where is Peter Parker and P.Maximoff breaking hell in the Scott/Hope Wedding while Sambucky and Wanda just watches and then Scott joins??

Where is the Sambucky wedding fic??

Where is Peter Parker babysitting Cass and AJ?

A fanfic where Peter meets Eli Bradly and Cassie Lang?? please??

WHERE is the fanfic where Steve and Tony accidentally end up in 2034, instead of 2023 during the time heist, and they see the new Avengers team and that their fight will be worth it?????

WHERE???

(plus give me a link if you have one that re Italy resembles one of this I am begging here)

Thinking about that time Anthony Mackie was asked who, from the avengers cast, would he call to hide a body, and would come no questions asked. And he said Sebastian Stan, his dear friend, because AND I QUOTE “He has come for much worse”

Hey Alice! It has been ten days since your journey down the rabbit hole started, ten days since I launched this blog’s promotional post. I don’t know how it happened so suddenly, but... it seems we have reached one hundred followers! Technically, as I’m finishing up this post, we’re at one hundred and seven followers.

As your guide through Twisted Wonderland, I am grateful for your support!! While this milestone is small, it means the whole world to me. The amount of time that I achieved this many followers compared to my other social media and my main blog on tumblr is truly insane.

To commemorate this minuscule checkpoint in my tumblr imagines writing career, I am hosting an event that shall be on par its size! A mini event!! This event is inspired by the blog aesthetics of my two most recent followers: @jangmi-latte and @currywaifu~!

Event Details:

Prologue:

Welcome to Café Rosé, an umpteenth local coffeeshop that sprouted from the concrete, fitting snuggly into a small plaza located in the suburbs of Twisted Wonderland. Despite being fairly new to the community, the shop has found success in one particular drink— their Rosé Latte. The café is known for mixing in rose water, rosé, or milk infused with rose extract, depending on your preference into their drinks. Oddly enough, the owner adores the color pink and roses as much as she adore coffee. Part of the charm, perhaps? The Rosé Latte is, by far, the most popular item. It’s said to make people fall in love at first sip. But, perhaps that, too, is part of the charm as it is merely a rumor. You couldn’t possibly believe that you can fall in love with a cup of coffee now, could you?

Event Rules:

First of all, click on the banner for better quality. I made it 1080px wide and the standard tumblr dimensions is 540px wide so it looks blurry, but it’s actually better than it looks. I promise! Also, don’t steal this. I spent three hours on it.

Now, for the actual event: It’s a cafe/coffeshop AU event! Lowkey soulmate AU and I just-!! Cliche, but I always wanted to write for this AU. Well, not that much. I won’t write something like this for a long time. It’s an event after all!

For this event, you can request oneshots only. Sadly, I won’t be writing headcanons or scenarios this time around.

And because I’m only taking oneshot requests, you can only request for one character.

Here’s another catch! You have to request as if you’re ordering off a menu of prompts that I personally made. Not to worry, they’re all forgiving and pretty general. More on that later. Scroll down for it!

So your request format would be something like this: “Can I get a [menu item name] with Leona?”

Something to note: this is all vaguely a coffeeshop/soulmate AU. No matter what you choose, it’ll be a lowkey soulmate AU. Now depending on what you choose, your counter might be spicy, angsty, or fluffy. Or maybe all three???

It’s very basic. Something simple for a small milestone <3

Because it’s a small commemoration event, and because oneshots take me a while to write (and not to mention I lowkey want to make different banners for each request), I will only be accepting the first five (5) requests. So you should probably hurry!

If you don’t make it that’s okay! You can still send in other request since I don’t know when to stop~ ... Just please... please no more Octavinvelle requests..

Menu:

Rosé Latte— a simple latte with a splash of fresh milk, topped with a light rose extract-infused foam + latte art; the best seller here at Café Rosé. Rumor has it that once you take a sip, you’ll immediately fall in love with your supposed soulmate. Fate works in strange ways, you see?

English Rose Refresher— half lemonade, half rose tea. A bit of an floral yet tart flavor; A cool beverage meant to ease the summer heat and your stress as well. It’s the perfect drink for you to unwind and let go of a day’s struggles.

Candied Rose Frappuccino— more of a confection rather than a beverage, but nevertheless, it’s bold; The sweetness of the candies rose petals tend to block all your senses as if you had let your inner beast out. That feeling is insatiable.

Rose Tea— as it sounds: an herbal tea. Now available iced or hot; It’s a subtle and simple combination of flavors that makes you appreciate the smaller mundane things in life and openly express that.

Lavender Rose White Mocha— yet another sugary confection yet this time it’s complimented with a hint of lavender extract and the sweetness of white chocolate and espresso; It’s the type of drink that wakes you up without shooting your adrenaline through the roof. It’s the kind of drink that makes you laugh.

Raspberry Rose Cake— coffee and tea isn’t the only thing on the Café Rosé menu! While enjoying your rather bitter beverage, pair it with a mildly soft flavored slice of this! ; This cake is the type of cake to melt away all of your troubles. If there was rain, this cake would clear the sky. If there were tears, this cake would make your tears dry.

Rosewater Biscuits— pair this with the more sugary drinks. It’s flavor is plain enough to act as a palette cleanser, a counter for said beverages, but there’s still a floral hint within these; Perhaps not the best tasting item on this menu but they sure do bring back many nostalgic memories of the awfully mundane snacks you had with your childhood friends.

Disclaimer: I made some of the items and/or their descriptions up with the help and reference of Starbucks and Google. I have no idea if the ingredients are compatible with each other or if it’s actually palatable I’m not actually a barista!

And that’s it! Thank you very much for reading through this if you did! Thank you for following me too! The next milestone is going to be 500 so until then ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
