if I had a nickel for each rottmnt trend I set I would have 3 damn shiny nickels

#I inspired 2 other people to do a collab comic (neither are finished/posted yet but hey one I participated in and im excited for it!) #I made the peepaw leo cowboy trend go from a 2 to a 10 on the popularity scale #now all my mutuals are all also wanting to make keychains/merch #oh my god #nonsense #is now a good thing to mention that the next thing I want to do is one of those ask events #where for a full day people just send asks and instead of me (ell) answering its the 2al boys #drawings of them answering and everything #will probably do this sometime in december/early january #anyways leaving for a plane trip first in the morning tomorrow #and good news! #I finished lines for next 2al update #I think it was 59 panels...? #I think it was 59 goddamn panels. #so that will get posted whenever I get around to coloring it #which will probably be monday or tuesday #<3 #wish me luck imma be dying all day tomorrow btw #also keychain preorders are closing tomorrow #ok goodnight tumblr #I am just having many many thoughts tonight ig #also that 2al cameo in the cass video still feels like a fever dream. #that does not feel like it happened. #that did not hapen. #nope #I dreamed it #good lord is this a tag wall

Day 20

Madara pulled the yarn through the final stitch and looked at his… scarf. It was an attempt and while it didn’t look awful, he could tell that his tension had been maybe too tight and there was a weird dip a few rows in, but at least it was finished. He grabbed a yarn needle and tried to weave in the tails so he could properly call it finished. 

Leo had been complaining about losing his scarf the week before and Madara had the genius idea to try and make one himself. He had tried knitting but three dropped stitches later he decided to try something else. Kuro had suggested crochet since it was much more beginner friendly, and Madara had to agree. Despite everything, at least the scarf in his hands wouldn’t fall apart if he forgot a stitch somewhere. 

It still looked like a pretty messed up rectangle though. He debated just making a second one when the door opened to the craft room and he felt someone drape themself over his shoulders. 

“Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,” Leo whined. “Why are you ignoring me?” 

Madara turned his phone on and noticed a dozen missed calls and several unanswered texts from Leo. Oops. 

“Sorry Leo-san, I got distracted.” He turned to press a chaste kiss to Leo’s lips. “I tried to make you something but--” Leo’s eyes lit up and he reached for the garment in Madara’s hands. 

“Wahaha! You’re the best Mama! I love it!” Leo had already wrapped the scarf around his neck despite being indoors. “Oh I’m filled with inspiration! Do you have any paper? I need to write an Ode to Mama’s Scarf immediately!” 

Madara laughed and pulled out the notepad he had started carrying with him from his bag. Leo grabbed it and began scribbling, singing the melody as it came to him. When he was finished he tore out the page and folded it into his pocket for later. 

“Thank you, Mama. I mean it.” Madara felt a light blush on his face, a rare occurrence in their relationship. 

“Anything for you, Leo-san.”

January OTP Prompts

Fun fact! I live in a place that is not cold. However, it has been absolutely freezing the last week to the point where I am currently looking at a North Face puffer coat on the internet and trying to figure out if I order it, if I will still be cold in the 3-5 business days it says it will take to arrive. I have decided to inflict this misery upon Fictional!Matty, however, he at least has a warm coat. I have a denim jacket and a Noah Kahan hoodie.

10. Bundled up

Matty shivered, and wrapped his arms tighter around himself, as he trailed after George. He sniffled and reached up to wipe his runny nose with the sleeve of his parka. He adjusted his scarf to cover more of his face, his fingers feeling clumsy in his mittens. He was bundled up in a long sleeve tee shirt, a heavy sweater, the parka, a heavy knit scarf, and a beanie and he was still freezing. He halted, wincing as a gust of wind tore down the street, sending another shiver up his spine. He didn’t even remember what being warm felt like as they made their way through the snow covered street. 

Jamie had bought him the warmest winter parka he could find in apology when he realized the tour schedule was going to take them to Canada during the winter. Matty was very adamant that he did not do weather colder than London. Even London was too cold for him in the winter. Despite wearing multiple pairs of socks and an extremely unstylish pair of Sorel boots, Matty still couldn’t feel his toes. He would have started crying ages ago if he wasn’t worried that his tears would literally freeze to his face and cause some kind of permanent damage. The strip of skin around his eyes was stinging from the wind and he wondered if it was possible to have already developed frostbite. He wasn’t sure how anyone even lived here, people weren’t meant to be out in these kinds of conditions! He was glad that even their most loyal fans had realized that camping for the concert in this weather was a bad fucking idea. He didn’t even want to be walking down the street, their destination hopefully ahead, he couldn’t imagine them sleeping in tents to see his sniffly ass up close. 

Yet, George was happily plowing ahead, looking at directions on his phone, dragging Matty to some underground used record shop he had seen on instagram that was supposed to be the place to find obscure vinyl. If Matty had realized that around the corner from their hotel meant, around the corner and then straight on a mile and a half he would have insisted on Ubering, or staying behind in the warmth of the hotel room, wearing the complementary slippers and a bathrobe as he made use of the steam shower to try and loosen some of the mucus in his chest. 

“You coming?” George called over his shoulder, his warm breath visible in the cold air. Matty wanted a cigarette but there was absolutely no way he could light it, let alone hold it with how bundled up he was, and he was not sacrificing wearing a mitten even for a fag. He’d also have to pull down his scarf, exposing his face to the elements which was another nope. 

“I think I’ve frozen to the sidewalk,” Matty complained which just made George grin wider, amused by his misery. 

“That just means you need to walk faster,” he teased, picking up his pace as Matty groaned.

Wordcount of the day: 1145

Longfic chapter wrapped up. Onto something new tomorrow. I only procrastinated starting this chapter for...longer than I care to admit.

I think the next few chapters are going to be focused on Atem growth, because it's sorely needed. Time to take a break from the original couple to work towards developing more of the Atem x Bakura ship. Really need those two to start playing nice.

#writing progress #1145 on longfic #i swear by the time i finish this fic it's going to be so bittersweet for me #the 2 year anniversary of the first chapter is in january #i already have chapters written for the new year #the one i just finished will probably post sometime in early february #maybe i'll get lucky and have it wrapped up in time for the 3 year anniversary lol

#girl help i went on the lotro forums by accident #and ended up on someones thread complaining about how we never get any new content #i think one of my big issues with this is like. do you not have a job? or any other hobbies? #like im not shitting on people who dont have jobs. ive spent my fair share of time unemployed #but its wild that you apparently have NOTHING else going on in your life except for ONE mmo #they said there was only about a weeks worth of new stuff #youre telling me you got through everything in a week? one week #i started sometime mid december and spent a good long time playing the game #because i had a lot of hours cut in late december and january. so guess what i did while i wasnt at work #and i just finished a few days ago??? it took me two months???????? #like i dont know if theres anything that will entertain you if you insist upon blasting through everything so fast #this is a you problem and you are going to find it everywhere you go not just here #i also hate when people complain about this because i feel that the devs react to it by making endgame stuff more grindy #i dont want it to be more grindy #unlike SOME people i have a life outside this game but i would still like to succeed at it

thinking i’ll start OtL book 2 after i finish playing through 2hd

#well more like finish up ch1 and go from there #bc january i’ll be starting 7d vfd on my yt channel & i’d rather not stack a bunch of things up like i usually do #or more like ‘used to do but im actively trying to get better about that’ #sometimes its an odd coincidence that i start multiple things back up near the same timeframe #but sometimes i think ‘this happens too damn often for it to not be intentional on my brain’s part sometimes’ #actually not starting things up in the same timeframe its having multiple ongoing things in the same timeframe bhsjg

Yayyyyyyyy finally working on my pinned post :D having fun :D

Its funny to me cause I'll do these super organizational things for fandom purposes and genuinely have fun with it, but then would rather die than be even remotely organizational for school

#theres two wolves inside of me: #meticulously tagging my tumblr and photo gallery(this is one example) #vs: all of my school papers no matter the class are just shoved into my backpack all together #my parents are always like why cant you put this focus into school #dont you understand that my blorbos arent there :< #anyways one day ill actually post my pinned post #its that kinda thing where i cant stop adding to it and itll never be perfect so it just sits on my draft #but atm im going through and making a directory for all my race gifposts #looking at 2005 in January is crazy bcs wow i really did do 9 races in a week #its sooooooo satisfying to have 2005 be completely finished #itll be cool to (hopefully) see the other seasons begin to rack up while 2023 is slower #as ive mentioned a bit still a little wild for me to be at the same place at both 2009 and 2023 #ngl....imola being canceled is satisfying for me bcs it means Monaco is in its rightful place as Round Six #id have to check but like...in most seasons in the past 2 decades monaco is generally the 6th #so that it lines up makes me happy bcs consistency is key!! #tho I wonder if ill watch several races before 2023 monaco hmm probably! #ah anyways having fun looking through these older posts bcs tumblr's tagging system sometimes sucks #like you know when you look up your own post on your own blog and it doesnt show up???? bugs me sm #catie.rambling.txt

subjecting everyone to my woke kirby fanfiction

#rhyn rambles #okay on one hand i’m gonna be real sad when wwtmk is done #but i’m also really excited to get this one going #cause this one’s all original story and i get to dig into the characters more #sword and blade backstory alert also!!! #wwtmk is shaping up to finish at the end of january #so depending on what state this one is in by that time #it’ll probably start mid february or maybe sometime in march #no promises though #i’m gonna get busy once classes start up again

[chiropteracupola]

it’s friday night, it’s late, and my brain is going haywire. would anyone like to talk to me about my stories.

(crossed-out ones are finished, but I’d be just as excited to discuss them!)

#sometimes I feel like I haven't written anything ever in my life but then I look at this and realize that this is just since january #as in all those crossed-out things were finished between january 1 of this year and Now #which is. really quite something actually. #(also. reading the chart should be fairly self-explanatory since most of this is labeled #but the fourth column is mixed terror/kidnapped/originals since I don't have a ton of any of those)

Day 19

Niki wrapped the bandages around Rinne’s arm, just tight enough to be slightly uncomfortable, but not too tight to restrict blood flow. They were well familiar with this song and dance, the pot of herb infused blood cooling on the counter as Niki scolded Rinne for not taking enough care of himself.

“Rinne-kun, you have to--” 

“I know, Niki.” The silence was deafening. Sometimes, Niki wished Rinne had never told him about the world of magic, about being a scribe, but if he had hidden it, his life would be boring and he’d never have gotten to know Rinne as deeply as he did. The two of them had traveled the world together, allowing Niki to try out cuisine from countries he hadn’t ever dreamed of visiting before, so it wasn’t all bad, all things considered. 

But still, Rinne had insisted on continuing to write spells, spells that helped Niki improve his cooking, helped his condition, spells that could do wonderful things and help people in bad situations. They were frequent visitors at youth shelters wherever they lived with a spell to multiply their food to feed everyone working under the table. They could use the spells over and over as long as Rinne was alive, but Rinne insisted on having extra ink for emergencies. 

Niki’s hands brushed over the bandage, wanting to scold Rinne for his stupidity, draining more blood than usual for this batch. He’d be bedridden for at least a week. 

“What are you writing?” Niki asked, trying to change the subject. 

“A protection spell.” Rinne’s eyes shifted to the ground, avoiding Niki’s glare. 

“Rinne-kun, you know those don’t work on you and I’ve already told you I’m not leaving you.” 

“‘S not for you.” 

“Then who’s it for?” 

“Kohaku-chan, back home. He’s been getting into dangerous situations again and the last book wore out.” Kohaku must be using the spells more frequently than they realized if they were already falling apart. 

“Fine, but promise me you’ll wait to write it until you’re feeling better.” Niki was already planning out their meals for the next week to raise Rinne’s iron levels and help him recover. Rinne leaned forward, arms wrapping around Niki’s torso and pulling him in. Rinne buried his face in Niki’s shoulder. 

“I promise.” 

“Now let’s get you to bed. You’ve got a long week ahead of you.” 

#shay writes #rinniki #january writing challenge #was reading ink blood sister scribe and had some ideas #consider this an au ig but i dont plan on expanding on this one at all #just a little thought experiment and i have been enjoying the book a lot #i'm like... halfway through it? about to start part 2 of it soonish but augh the potential for it... #rinne is a scribe which means he's immune to magic but only his blood can make the ink to write spells #anyone else can read them though so niki is normally the one doing that but obviously #he sends some back to kohaku and meru and he tried sending on to hiiro but doubts it ever got back to him #spells need to be written for like. specific scenarios so you'll end up rewriting things sometimes and i dont think #rinne would have access to the library so yknow he has to write all his own stuff #which means. drawing a lot of blood #and knowing a lot about herbs but that he already knew #i could expand on this a little but maybe after i finish the book u know #anyway enjoy...
