#and THAT is what i’m indulging here

[starbuck]

me about characters that literally never interact in canon: theyyyyyyyyyy 🥰💕❤️🥰💖

#THEY OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE WITHIN THE NARRATIVE (OH MY GOD THEY OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE WITHIN THE NARRATIVE) #this isn’t even romantic in the least btw - i’m just insane #i see characters who occupy the same narrative space and i’m like ‘they should have had a conversation’ #‘i bet they could have fucked shit up under the right circumstances’ #and if i were to… *provide* those circumstances in a certain extremely self-indulgent AU fanfiction… #well… who’s to say what could happen… #*untragedifies your narrative by letting the characters actually Talk to each other* #because like. Listen. #i appreciate a good ‘tragedy that functions as a cautionary tale about bad communication’ as much as the next guy #especially if it’s also a commentary on like. the way we’re alienated from each other by our oppressive society #but i don’t want to be alienated rn #this is such a horrifying time to be alive and I want to join together with others and work towards something better #and THAT is what i’m indulging here #and it feels Good

The party at the Prom

But soberness turns out to be the friends we made along the way

I literally just got possessed and woke up with my this piece finished two weeks later

Mind you as much as deranged teenager I am, for everything to be ✨legal✨ you could tell this is my self-indulgent polish Byler au. Because I was inspired to draw this after my school’s prom and I know NOTHING about American proms lmao. Anyway here’s some more context:

And yeah Will is totally the person to run the fuck away randomly and Elmax would probably be on the side quest. Somewhere outside of the state. Most likely.

Ecologist!Reader aesthetic | Corrupted by Design | Feyd-Rautha x Reader

You stood out compared to the Harkonnens, in more ways than just one. You wore loose clothing: rich brown pants or skirts and deep greens tied around your torso and arms, sometimes flashes of red or blue—all washed out under any sunlight. You carried with you strange jars and herbs, your dark, sunblocking glasses atop your head if not perched on your nose, your waist satchel stuffed with samples—you must have looked completely alien to their more minimalist sensibilities. “You dress oddly for someone from the Imperium,” one of your workers remarked. “Is it your goal to one day turn into a plant, and not just look like one?”

WARNING: FFVII spoilers + ship talk—scroll if you want to skip, because I am simply commentating my own gaming experience & not trying to start a war in the comments

-

It’s the way I’m DESPERATELY trying to play FFVII with an openness to Cloud and Aerith because I know it means so much to so many people—and yet even when I go to YouTube and watch alt versions of mandatory scenes I cannot fathom how people are missing the subtext of “Aerith knows and acknowledges Tifa is so much more than Cloud’s friend even as she wants his attention because she doesn’t know if he’s really himself, has been extremely lonely since Zack left + knows somewhere she’s going to die for herself” ☠️

Like I am 3000% for FF ships that have a lot of groundwork but aren’t primary canon, because Square is notorious for building true chemistry between people who are not ever canonically romantic (hello Phoenixflare) but…it’s getting kind of absurd to see how many people are denying the subtext of Aerith as secondary to Tifa solely because they love their ship.

Perfect example: the scene where Aerith goes up on the Nebelheim water tower (a place wholly and entirely tied to Cloud and Tifa’s ongoing relatonship) and asks Cloud about his town…only for us to get this:

As someone who just consumes media generally…the whole subtext of the scene is clearly that Aerith trying to 1) pull Cloud’s actual memories up from the mind muck he’s going through (something she and Tifa both do repeatedly) and 2) remind Cloud of the side of him that inherently has always had a whole ass crush on his childhood best friend to help jog his memory.

Sure, it reads as a cute moment between them if you want that…but if you’re paying attention to the purpose of the scene itself and what’s being said (verbally and subtextually)…it’s astronomically clear this is a Cloud x Tifa recognition delivered to the audience through a Cloud/Aerith moment…and this happens repeatedly ☠️

And then…immediately after having her be upset that she doesn’t have someone the way Cloud has Tifa, and asking to be alone? I…I just. Like it’s so hard to be here in the middle of a war about “optional scenes” when shit that happens to everyone happens just like this 😭

#example of what I’m talking about under the cut #I just. LISTEN. #I fucking love Aerith #I really do #and even though some of her actions are quite curious to me re: cloud romance #I can clearly tell they are setting her up as loving him as a friend more than a romantic partner #and her still feeling so tied to Zack…while knowing she’s in for something terrible. #even with all the whispers shit that’s crystal mf clear—she’s just trying to find joy while she can #and cloud is more than willing to indulge her because he cares deeply for her too! #…and yet #we are so clearly in for a cloud x tifa romance in the long haul #Tifa and cloud love each other. cloud and Aerith LIKE each other—and even she comments DIRECTLY on ‘liking v LIKING’ #I just…whew #ship your ship #but let’s not outright lie to ourselves here LMAOOOO #ffvii analysis #cloti #ffvii #ffvii spoilers #remake spoilers #final fantasy spoilers #the me tag

Society if POV outsider fics were as popular as shipping

#here’s my thing w fanfic. I’m either reading it bc it’s genuinely a good piece of writing or interesting character exploration or whatever #which can include shipping but doesn’t have to #or it’s gay porn. or #or I’m sick or otherwise incapacitated can’t focus on an actual book so I’m literally just being self indulgent #and for me that is pov outsider always baybeeeeeee #or just other niche tropes I enjoy #like if I’m gonna read mid shit which is a lot of ff it’s gotta have some other pull for me like thst #which I get for some people is shipping but for me idgaf unless it’s good also #realizing this is the same central appeal as power fantasy shit. well. I’m a man what can I say #warlock wartalks

me seeing all the reactions to the Loki deleted scene:

#I’m trying so hard not to be a total asshole here but like #I genuinely don’t know what everyone expected #tbh I expected to hate it more #nobody’s listened to me about the coronation scene either #I’m afraid I will indulge in some definite crowing if the reaction to that one is at all similar #marvel cinematic universe #loki #Sylvie #Loki show

I’m getting closer and closer to Elpis, and to Hali meeting Hermes in the MSQ, and I am thinking about Hermes and Urania (Hali’s Azem) once again. I’m not sure what exactly I want to do, and how much angst and complications I want to add into Urania’s story.

I definitely want there to be something with Urania and Hermes that mirrors Hali’s story, in particular that Hali decides to be brave and to tell Aymeric her true feelings, to want love and to be loved, to have something outside of just her duty as a Scion and as a Warrior of Light, which will be different from what her past self had done.

What exactly that is, I’m not sure. I keep flip flopping on it and I don’t know if my personal feelings are getting in the way or not. Ehhhhhh, maybe it’s just “sad Ancient man makes me feel things”, who knows.

somewhere in the shadows | chapter one

Some initial A/N: Hello my near and dear friends! Welp, here it is — my new spark of creativity. I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy and there was just a sudden urge to write a fanfic, ya know, so here I am. I have more detailed and important author’s notes at the end, but I just wanted to paste a little blurb here. Anyways, please enjoy this short and sweet introductory chapter! (And once again please make sure you read my other notes at the end!)

***

Eleanor Laverne learned first hand that pleasant morning that there were, indeed, 142 stairwells in Hogwarts castle. Even though she woke up at the crack of dawn to brew some tea and prepare herself in her overwhelmingly blue common room, she felt like a first year frantically dashing through all the hallways and corridors and stairwells in the maze that was her new school.

Wonderful — her first day, and she’d show up to class after it already finished with her legs feeling like pudding.

To be fair, it was technically her first year here — she was just starting on the fifth year curriculum. Still, she was sure that someone of her 16-year-old stature looked quite appalling racing through the halls in comparison to that of a puny first year. Well…on the bright side, at least she could out run them and their short, stubby legs.

She glanced around, positively sure she passed the same portrait of a lady in an impossibly puffy pink dress who was, at this point, snickering at her valiant efforts of getting spectacularly lost. The watch on her wrist read 8:13, her first class began at 8:15, and at this point, she might as well have admitted her defeat on getting to class on time. After all, she had absolutely no clue where in the castle she was. She could have been on the opposite side of the school for all she knew.

She must’ve been rushing forward with her head on a swivel for a moment too long because she abruptly met something before her with a thunk. In doing so, all of the books that were, moments ago, held safely in her grip, splattered gracefully over the stone floor.

Splendid. 

She was already late — she didn’t need obstacles, either.

But the obstacle turned out to be another person as she heard a surprised, “oof!” and the sound of footsteps plummeting forward.

She shook the dizziness from her head and steadied herself, only to find a brunette boy peering over at her with a wince. “What was that for?” he asked, and she wanted to laugh as if her sprinting spree was intentional.

“Sorry,” she grumbled, bending over to reach for the book closest to her. 

8:14. Bloody hell. On her first day.

“Wait,” the boy began slowly as she heard the click of his shoes against the floor nearing her. “You’re the new fifth year, aren’t you?”

His statement beckoned her gaze, and she soon found herself gaping at this obstacle-turned-boy who happened to be a Slytherin student with quite possibly the sweetest face she’d ever seen. She didn’t believe in stereotypes but…for a Slytherin…he looked too…nice.

He reached out to hand her a few books he managed to pick up before someone called, “Seb! Come here! Defence Against the Dark Arts is about to start!”

She didn’t think her eyes could get any wider.

Defence Against the Dark Arts! That was the class she was looking for! Meaning…this lovely-looking Slytherin student that so happily picked up books for her after she nearly knocked him flat on his nose…was her classmate. What a truly memorable first impression — on her hands and knees picking up books and papers because she couldn’t simply watch where she was going.

“I suppose this is your class, too,” he said, offering her a hand to get up. She took it without any thought and stilled at the difference between his warm touch and the cold marble floor.

“It is.” She quickly released his hand and brushed off her robes.

He chuckled, and she noticed a sprinkle of freckles over his cheeks as he smiled. “Got a tad lost, did you?” 

“Perhaps,” she huffed, “let’s go.”

His bright smile was disarming. “After you.”

Never, in her whole life, would she ever expect to feel glad for nearly running someone over. But here she was, her heart racing at a surprising speed perhaps by her brisk morning jog or by downright embarrassing herself in front of her new charmingly freckled classmate, letting out a satisfied sigh as she found her very first victory this morning.

She checked her watch. 

8:15. Brilliant.

She was on time.

A/N: Alright folks, strap in because you’re in for a ride. I’m just kidding, but there are quite a few creative liberties that I have chosen to take, one of which is age. I have chosen to have Sebastian and Anne get held back a year before starting Hogwarts due to their parent’s death, while also raising the default age by 1 — so first years would enter around 12, and 7th years would be 18-19 by the time they graduate. (To be honest, having a 15 year old take something as life altering as the O.W.L.S seems crazy to me). Also, the way Hogwarts Legacy modeled their characters makes it seem like they’re at least 17-18, so, you know, with my unbridled creative liberty, I did just that. 

This makes Seb 17 at the beginning of the year, while most of the other students are 16. I don’t know their actual birthdays, but I imagine Sebastian to be 18 before the term ends, and the MC 17. Listen, I know it’s completely wrong, but just bear with me for the sake of this story.

Other things to note: this goes pretty much in line with the main plot of the game, and, because of that, I’ll probably skip writing scenes like the beginning dragon attack, etc. etc. but it will be referenced. Also, I know that this technically takes place in the late 1800s but this is a fan fiction and I know nothing of the wizarding world (or anything, really) in the late 1800s, so most likely it’ll read like the current writing it is and there may be contraptions or what not in this fanfic that might not have even existed in the 1800s. I dunno.

Lastly, Sebastian and the MC have so much witty banter between one another, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love witty banter. Plus, I think that there are some options that could have been taken towards the end that could have…(positively?) affected the ending of his relationship questline. At the end of the day, I am truly just imagining an alternative ending and what could have happened, had they given Sebastian a different path. Plus, you know, some innocent romance, too, because why the hell not. Don’t tell me you didn’t ship your MC with him. He’s so flirty! Also, if you would like me to post this anywhere else like fanfic or wattpad, let me know! Anyways, I’ll stop rambling now. Thank you for reading and see you next time! Xoxo ~Cass

i cannot put into words well all my thoughts about how soft the monkees are I have SO MANY THOUGHTS it’s just so hard to type them out. my drafts are crazy right now.

it all just comes out like “when they’re all at home and it’s bedtime everybody just cuddling and chilling out to the guitar and singing with each other and talking oh my god you know they just like you know when like the blankets and it’s warm and mike is so gentle to davy and they sing and then read stories and peter likes the lights low” like that’s not what i meant to say at all i have whole narratives going i’m just kind of sick and i’m thinking about the monkees being so soft and sweet and davy curled up in a blanket in mikes lap while he plays the guitar complaining about bedtime and petting at mikes beard and mike picking at some chords as he tries to reason with the (NOT sleepy!!) little one—this is turning into davybaby !!

#sorry if this is hard to read/incoherrant #this is so self indulgent #i just need soft monkees right now #talk to me about the monkees friends i’m a bit lonely #everything i type out sounds wrong so this is the most we’re gonna get right now #the monkees #i had like eight things about mike being very gentle at home and as he gets older getting more and more gentle #it’s just in his nature and he’s very caring and nurturing #he’d try to be tough and he’d always get stressed but he mellows and he cares and idk i just think about this a lot #and maybe i’m projecting my shit onto these characters #specifically mike and davy right now for some reason #it definitely switches around because i was all over micky last week #but like they’re my soft little guys!!!!! #i’ll shush now folk’s apologies #this is like my little notebook but actual people get to actually here these things and idk if that’s good or not #but here it is anyway #i want to fall asleep in mikes lap i guess #in a cozy little place with friends all around #maybe that’s just what this is #maybe the monkees just feel very safe

totally emotionally support ogres being warriors and fierce and choosing their next king based on whose the strongest via fighting and killing everyone until the final victor wins the throne but I can’t help. but think this is a not smart approach. congrats on being the king you just killed all ur best warriors. yeah maybe they weren’t better than you but like if they made it that far into the competition then they’re your good warriors and now you killed them. you gotta start your army from scratch now. i just think. this system has some flaws

#kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc ogres #kotlc worldbuilding #new king: I shall start a new era and ogres will be stronger than ever! #the best ogre warriors of their age: *are dead* #emotionally I’m there. like you do you. indulge the thirst for blood. enjoy the violence. be viscious #totally support you #but logistically. i think there is an issue here #do you feel me #like with bo and ro. if they fight each other to win that’s just a waste. they’re both good warriors #killing one to prove whos stronger is like..dude..what a waste of a warrior
