#and i have too many wips atm anyway

[a-little-unsteddie]

i'm havin' thoughts again. this time about true crime

True Crime enthusiast Eddie Munson doing research for his podcast about the disappearance/murder of Steve Harrington. the story follows him as he interviews people in his life that knew him--and with every interview, he falls a little more in love with this mysterious man who disappeared/died under mysterious circumstances. something something, either Steve is actually dead at the end of the story and the whole thing is just reading about Eddie falling in love with the idea of him, or Steve isn't dead and he's actually ran away, and after the episode airs, Steve reaches out and is like 'hey i'm not dead, they were just awful people and so i left and they reported me missing because that was easier than admitting they were bad people'

idk. i think it would hurt so good for Steve to actually be dead, but I also love the idea of Steve having moved on to something better and is like 'quit tellin' people i'm dead!'

#it would be titled 'ghost of steve harrington' #or something like that #and it would be so much fun to write #but i think it's above my skill level #and i have too many wips atm anyway #steve harrington #eddie munson #steve x eddie #steddie #steve harrington x eddie munson #steve harrington death #tw mcd #major character death #unsteddie writing

#ive been having some real big art thoughts and feels about my art process - some good... some confusing #im more mentally organized today than i was last week...but its still really confusing and idk where im going from here :0 #all i know is that 1) im going through a very very slow process of my art evolving + my process changing - since earlier this year #2) i have not let myself slow down and appreciate the art of creating like i used to - due to many factors: mainly fear of losing relevancy #3) and i feel that im taking my art too seriously for something that is suppose to be enjoyable & satisfying #4) also im influenced very easily but outside sources (which isnt technically good nor bad) #and thats it. thats all i have to report :3 lol #anyways. its a REAL CONFUSING art time for me rn but just sketching privately and not finishing my wips seem to be doing something good atm #sometimes i fear ill end up stuck in this frustrating period & that this is it from now on..but thats silly & this isnt my first rodeo :0

[tac-bat]

You know what I love? I love that the valley twins aren’t carbon copies from each other!!!

and you might be wondering, well how exactly? I’ll show you!!!!! (Because I’ve spent way to much time staring at them, also this post is very long) (and i use old concept art names to refer to them as such, its just what i'm used to, they aren't cannon)

Body types

different body types! Sah (spike hair) has more wide shoulders than Mekh (flat hair). And because of this, Sah has the most slay snatched waist I’ve ever seen JEBEJVDHE even mekh's waist isint as snatched

Prosthetic's

If you don’t already know (and I don’t blame you) the twins have prosthetic arms on where their eyes are missing. (They’re practically invisible in their cutscene, and even their pin doesn’t have them, I hate it.) anyways they both have different patterns!

Mekh’s, is more detailed, has a shoulder decoration and generally more to it.

And Sahs’ is more simple, it gets the job done. I feel like from the look on their prosthetic's alone you can get an idea of their tastes :3

Another quick think but it also seems Mekh’s uniform is sleeveless on the side of where their prosthetic is! Sah has both of their sleeves. I wonder why?

Gloves

Even their gloves are different! Sah’s glove (left) for their prosthetic is thumbless, the other fingerless. When both of Mekh’s (left) gloves are fingerless!

A detail i'm not sure off, but it also seems like the gloves on both twins prosthetic's are bunched up more compare to the gloves on their live arms.

Sticks

I noticed this on my recent eden trip that the sticks the twins hold when you complete the constellation are different too!! Mekh's stick on the ends have more width, and Sah’s is more consistent with width. Which is just— so fucking cool!! They have their own sticks!!!!! They’re not just copy and paste!!!!!!!!

Stances

this isint leaked, this was a wip from their orbit gift animation by Ari Flesch from his artstation account (who made the animation) which i've linked.

Anyways different stances!!! Mekh has their feet together when Sah doesn't! You can also see what I mean about the ends of their sticks having different width's much clearer!!!

Sah’s Cracked Mask

My fav detail is Sah’s mask (also not in the pin and invisible in cutscenes), they have a crack over their eye when Mekh doesn’t! This small detail has gave me so many evil ideas on how they got it and it makes me wonder HOW it even happened. :3

Cutscene Details

OH BOY CUTSCENE TIME, HERE'S THINGS IVE NOTICED!!

Sah seems to hold their paddle backwards when Mekh doesn’t. But Sah still ends up in the same position as Mekh despite that! (maybe to one up, who knows) But that show's that even here, their animations weren't just copy pasted, there's DIFFERENCES!!

Mekh is faster than Sah, and even shows Mekh being the first to leap up and land when approaching the player, when Sah is just starting to land in the 2nd image. This makes the timing of it intentional!!

okay i think thats it thats all i can remember atm!! Ofc there’s so much more, but this post is more focused on the details that can be missed by normal folks. So I thought I share the ones that might be interesting to see that you might’ve not known about.

but yes, thank you to the folks of tgc in charge of their character design's and animation's for not giving the twins the copy paste treatment. Thank you for making them have their own quirks, their own personalities, and their own differences!!!!

Thank you for making them their own person!

[disorganised-thoughtss]

For valentines I'd like to share a piece of a SeriRei vampire work in progress that's been on my brain recently. It's not super romantic atm but I feel like later on it has the chance to be.

(Roughly 1000 word wip below cut. There's a bit of talk about being interested in Reigen's neck and pulling him close so watch out if you don't like that.)

It was another ordinary day at Spirits & Such, or at least, it would have been if it wasn’t for Serizawa’s recent problem. To put it simply, Serizawa's eyes seemed to gravitate toward Reigen’s neck more than usual.

There was almost something hypnotic in it. Each time he couldn’t help imagining himself sinking his teeth in. He could almost feel it. The spring of soft flesh at his mercy. A thrumming sensation just beneath called to him. It was too tantalizing to ignore. It made him want to walk over, grab Reigen by the waist and then-

Serizawa shook his head. He lost count of how many times he had to shake those thoughts away since the work day began.

The thoughts were in no way appropriate. He was meant to be working and Reigen was his friend!

Serizawa swallowed the excess saliva coating his mouth but it still felt overcrowded, almost as if his canines grew overnight. There had to be something wrong with him. Was he sick? Maybe? His head was throbbing from the sunlight peeking through the blinds. He scolded himself for not checking his temperature before leaving the house.

Reigen looked up from the work on his desk. “Uh, want something Serizawa?” He asked, tilting his head.

“Well, uh,” Serizawa tried to ignore any and all thoughts of how inviting the newly exposed neck looked. “I’m starting to think I might be a little sick,” he gulped.

“Hmm you do seem a little pale. Mind if I check your temperature?”

“No, not at all.”

Reigen left his desk joined by the faint smell of incense that clung to his work suit. Once close, he placed the back of his hand on Serizawa’s forehead. It immediately recoiled. “Yikes, you’re ice cold! Wait here, I’m getting you one of my special healing teas.”

Serizawa didn't move from his desk. He knew that the teas could only do so much but the idea of drinking something warm felt like just the thing he needed. It would surely set his mind back onto a more productive (and less intimately decorated) track.

Reigen came back offering a hot mug of tea before adjusting the thermostat and making himself comfortable at his desk. He gave an almost guilt ridden look to Serizawa then awkwardly shuffled his chair to the window and closed the blinds just enough so they could still see.

Serizawa let his eyes adjust to the newly darkened office. His headache went away almost immediately. With his mind less crowded he stared at the cup in front of him. The steam rolled into the cool air rather cutely (almost like little clouds).

For some reason tea didn’t feel right, as if he was meant to be drinking something else. Was he craving coffee? It would be rude to refuse at this stage so he drank it anyway.

It left him feeling unsatisfied. His stomach twisted as he salivated once again. Maybe he was hungry?

The day continued as it typically would. A couple walk-ins arrived seeking Reigen’s expertise as Serizawa worked on papers and spoke to clients over the phone.

Soon after, Tome came into the office with her usual energy. She slung her school bag on the floor talking about something that happened at school. She didn't seem to care how dimly lit the office was, Serizawa supposed she was used to walking in mid “seance” where the room was a fire hazard of candles with no sunlight light.

Tome took one look at Serizawa then paused mid-sentence. “Serizawa what happened?” She questioned pointing to the plaster on his neck.

“Oh um…” Serizawa trailed off, unsure the most appropriate way to say a vampire cosplayer bit him. The whole ordeal was rather embarrassing to think about.

Reigen cut in before Serizawa could form a response, “got into a fight with some weirdo on our last job.”

“Really?! Are you ok?” She asked eyes wide looking at Serizawa then to Reigen and back again.

“Yes, speaking of, can you please get me another plaster from the first aid kit? I should probably change mine.”

Tome nodded, marching back to Serizawa’s desk with a plaster. She watched with gross curiosity, waiting for someone to tell her what happened. Serizawa opened the packet then tore off the old plaster in a single motion. He was going to apply the fresh one but then-

Tome gasped, “Is that a vampire bite?!”

“No, it was from someone dressed like a vampire.” He responded.

Tome crossed her arms as if Serizawa missed something incredibly obvious. Her eyes slowly scanned the office starting from the closed blinds to the takeout containers littering Reigen's desk then finally the thermostat. “so you haven’t had any sensitivity to sunlight? Or a sudden dislike of garlic? Low temperature? Or... a hunger for blood?!"

Was she implying that the bite was in fact an actual vampire bite?

Reigen nonchalantly flapped his hand to gain the room's attention. “Those are just symptoms of being under the weather. Except-for-the-blood-thing. But! He is not craving blood! Because he isn’t a vampire! Right Serizawa? Back me up here!”

Serizawa thought about it. He let the idea take shape in his mind. He observed it spin and roll like the steam leaving his tea from earlier.

He did have trouble with the sunlight coming into the office and the garlic from lunch did sting his nose when it typically wouldn’t (so much so he skipped lunch entirely). Reigen did say he was ice cold earlier. He never had those symptoms when he was sick before… but he wasn’t craving blood… right? What would that even feel like?

The more he thought about it, maybe he did?

That would explain his sudden interest in biting his boss’s neck. Thank goodness! He wasn’t some kind of pervert, he was just hungry.

For blood...

His boss's blood...

Reigen repeated his question, “right Serizawa? You’ve had those other symptoms but you’re fine.” He seemed to take the silence that followed as an answer, “sorry Tome. That new movie has convinced you vampires are real-”

“Actually,” Serizawa interrupted, “I have had thoughts that could be interpreted as craving blood.”

Reigen’s mouth hung open with a look that could only be interpreted as “are you serious?”

Serizawa simply nodded.

Reigen forced a cough, "just as I thought," he agreed with a parody of Serizawa's nod. "This is why you're my favourite secretary, Tome. Great detective work! Now I’m gonna go… make-a-call-real-quick," he added before rushing to the massage room. Through the door Reigen's muffled voice could be heard arguing with what could only have been Dimple.

Thank you for reading :)

[fatskwirrel]

Ramble to me about your favorite WIP >:}

ok omg so my gavourite writing WIP is set in a fantasy world and most of what I’ve been doing is scrambled workdbuilding and character writing so hereeee :))

the main cast are all failures and inevitable become the villsins of the story i decided that this was because of the quest which aims to destroy the questers spirits, gain powerful allies, gain weak enemies and eventually create an extinction level event that will destroy every race on the planet!!!

I thiught humans in fantasy were kind of boring to write because we already know so much about them so every person existing on the world in that current day is some kind of humanoid creature. Humans do technically exist there but they exist as souls: orblike beings that look a bit like this

they are harmless and just kinda float around - some of them do “speak” but in shattered words and only truly ‘united’ souls can actively communicate in full sentences.

Worldbuilding wise, the workd is set many years in the future and if i actually write this and people want to read this may spoil a bit if a plot point but,, many years ago - or slightly in the future for us, astronomers had found that a big space thing was coming to destroy the earth :0000 but they also remembered that a couple years ago they captured a meteor to extract a weird energy coming off it and they believed that if they used it to layer the earth in some way (this is do not accurate im dorry 😭😭) they could save the planet. This energy can be kinda referred to as ‘magic’ and after they did their plan thing it turned out that it was actually quite harmful to every living creature,, but it was too late now soo yeah

but magic is actually a conscious creature and in short it kinda collected a bunch if creatures and shoved them in “souls” tjen recreated earth using their ideas and what was REALLY trending atm in the human workd was fantasy so thats a fantasy world - or tbh it could be just one collected orbs idea idkkk.

anyways, in the current (fantasy world story time) an elf had been excessively researching humans. I think in this world, history is different to ours and that’s because magic is a hive mind creature and every creatire that lived in THAT world was connected through that hyper intelligent being (magic) who also had the fractured memories of every living being on earth so everyone in that workd has vague ideas of what human life was like but no idea how they know and wgenever we have no idea how we know smth we usually push it away and accept it as a simple fact of life. They do that too unless they’re historians like my elf guy Ester.

Anyways,, in his studies he first tried replicating hunans through Nymphs. He kept messing up but it’s natural tjat he did since he was trying to do what no one has ever done before. In his research he went to go stufy souls and this ended up distracting him from his original goal. He found a soul that spoke in fractured words and he was infatuated since he never found one that could speak before. He studied it endlessly until he ‘figured out’ what they were trying to tell him: Magic destroyed them and to bring them back, magic must be destroyed.

He did more research and bla bla bla found out that the best way he could destroy magic with no intereference was to make a quest!!!

So, main cast. I’m not sure who my main character is yet but I got the main cast so far: Siege, nicknamed “the traveller” is a giant. He grew up in a predominantly alchemist society (Alchemy is a religion that believes the world and all creatures came from the first alchemist: a human who betrayed everyone he knew by collecting all the magic seals and setting magic free, destroying every human but bringing the new fantastical races of mankind (alchemy is believed by the majority of individuals especially giants as alchemy can be used to reduce their height)). When he was young he used to be explorative and every day he would visit the entrance of the castle to see the visitors from other kingdoms. One day, he saw a Ninja being walked into the castle for presumably an execution. He thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen and since that day he had been researching and training himself to become one. But all the stories and documents describing them were never accurate or detailed and so as he grew he shaped more into the innacurate image of what he thought was a ninja but bever actually became one (also hes a giant who is he kidding).

Next up is his bestie Wine. Wine is an orc raised by elves. In this world femininity is seen as preferable and therefore orcs and other naturally burly creatures are demonised. Elves are often respected and revered. At the time Wine was born, a war was ongoing between the elves and orcs however the elves had more allies. His whole city was destroyed and his family with it (according to his parents) his parents were sent to heal those who could be recovered and when they saw him they took him in. He was raised to reject and hate his naturally orcish appearance. Quick story but his parents are LOADED and so when they moved, they took him to a posh alchemist school. He liked it there at first because he was very religious and so were all his friends who resoected alchemy but ome night they jumped him and he had to go to the hospital. When he was there he saw a kid getting a prosthetic and got a very self destructive idea. Before he enacted this idea ge met seige in the alchemy club (there was a kingdomwide shortage of what was needed to reduce Seiges height so he went to the alchemy club to get help) and they became friends. Then he got leg prosphetics by breaking his legs and boom thats his story.

I tried to associate each character with a sin bc i always do and Wine’s sin is envy, Siege’s is pride.

Another character is Caedy (he dies in the first chapter)

Next up is Alin. Alin is a Dwarf who grew up in a Dwarf community. She is a very business oriented person who is constantly calculating her next move. Her Dwarf community was quite poor so she worked her way up to get out and promised her villiage chief that if she becomes successful her money will go to the village. As I mentioned earlier, femininity is preffered and do it was hard for Alin to work her way up since anything she could ever apply for would be rejected. One way to become successful is to join a ‘socialite circle’. It’s a form of education developed to home people’s skills to help them eventually get a high class job in the court, in the majesties, etc. She was rejected from that as well. However, through tavern work she had eventually finally started making more than she needed and had enough to start her own business. She had a stall and shevwas hoping to use her earnings to build her own tavern that would hopefully even host a guild. But one day she list everything and had no choice but to go on quests for wuick money.

I have to go but I’ll finish later with a reblog!!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by: @mothmage, @hekateinhell & @desertfangs Thank you my loves 💞

1. How many works do you have on A03? 19 atm but that's about to become a lot more from next month lmao.

2. What’s your total A03 word count? 46,413

3. What fandoms do you write for? The Vampire Chronicles and as of right now, nothing else.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Nothing's Fair in Love and War Drunken Matrimony Lupercalia Experimentations and The Long Road

5. Do you respond to comments? I do, always!! I love responding to comments, it's one of my favourite things about writing fics tbh.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? The way I've had to think about this for too long because several of my fics could fit here. I think I'd say The Long Road because although there is hope (and the knowledge from canon) that things will get better for Louis, but he's still in the depths of his darkness and there's such a long way to go re: his recovery. That or Let Sleeping Lions Lie. (I would've said my siren au, but I think that's more my darkest ending to a fic, as opposed to the angstiest.)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I'd say it's either Second Chances or Drunken Matrimony. I think they're also very sweet endings.

8. Do you get hate on fics? No, no that I know of anyway. If anyone is hating on my fics, I don't know about it.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do but it's canon compliant, so no actual sex. There's two reasons for that: 1.) because I'm not quite there yet with wanting to write full on smut and 2.) because I genuinely just really enjoy writing canon complaint smut. As much as I really love reading smut, I feel like there should be more fics that embrace and explore the vampire's canon asexuality. It's a part of canon that I really enjoy and think is very important, so I like to bring some of that into my fics too!

Also, when it comes to Louis' character in particular, imo anyway, it's a good insight into him during IWTV. Because even though it's not actual sex, I find it interesting to explore how he might be reluctant to even just share blood in an intimate manner, because of his repression re: his queerness in that time.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I haven't written any crossovers yet and I don't know that I ever will tbh. It's just not something I see myself writing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? No, I hope not anyway. I'm not aware of it if that has happened.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I haven't, but if anyone ever wanted to, that would be cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, but I'd totally be down to if someone wanted to co-write with me one day!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Loustat all day everyday!! (Though Loumand follows extremely close behind.)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Ngl, I always intend on finishing any WIPs I have. Even if it takes me a while, I will always try to complete one if I've already started it.

16. What are your writing strengths? I think just the fact that I'm able to wing it. I don't plan anything when I'm writing. I always have a basic idea as to what I want the fic to be about, but when it comes to actually writing it, I don't plan/draft anything. I just go for it and make it up as I go.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I'm trying to improve on making my fics longer. I think I'm slowly getting better, but there's still progress to be made lmao.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I quite like it. I have written some small bits in French but that's using Google translate. (ik, ik. Not overly accurate) I think if the character speaks another language that they would use relatively frequently, then I think it can be quite good to add it in.

19. First fandom you wrote for? I'd like to say TVC, which is technically right, but years ago when I was still in school, I had to do some creative writing for English, and I did write what was basically Crimson Peak fanfic. So depending on how you look at it, it's either Crimson Peak or TVC.

And actually, now I think about it, ever since primary school, I've always based my creative writing for school off things I was into. So on that basis, who knows what my first ever fic was about lmfao. For the sake of this, we'll say it's TVC.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Tbh, I don't know if I have a favourite. All my fics are my babies, and if I try to say just one of them, then I'll just be like "Oh wait actually, what about this one? Oh but I really love this one too!" And it would keep going until I've mentioned all of them, so I can't choose.

It's Hē Seirḗn

[jazzythursday]

Hi!

Your writing is so beautiful! Your characterizations of Wylan and Jesper are incredible in your oneshots and especially in Everyday, Just a Little or a Little Bit. Seriously, I think about that fic all the time. It's perfect. Sweet and angsty, domestic and wholesome. Are you interested in writing more for Wesper? Do you have any more ideas or WIPs that you'd like to write?

-sixofcrowdaydreams

I’m crying? This is incredibly sweet thank you so much 🥹💖

Wesper and the crows literally got me through the last year and are still my main source of serotonin atm so I promise I’m not even close to done writing about them yet!

I also think about Everyday… every day lol, I really do. I have a handful of offshoots and bonus scenes from that fic I still want to write/finish (Jesper’s pov of a few moments, his talk with Nina after Wylan leaves in ch3, so much with the bookseller from ch1 etc), along with a few wips and a giant list of ideas I haven’t even started.

Currently I’m working on my gift for an exchange we have going over on the @i-can-read-to-him server (which is becoming both incredibly stressful but also so so exciting with every scene I write) I wish I could talk about it but it’s a surprise™️ for the moment. It will hopefully be ready to start posting next week!

Until then, here's a snippet from one of the bonus scenes in Everyday. It's from the part in ch2 where Jesper comes back to the Slat after being jumped by debt collectors. (Fun fact: the original scene was supposed to be this version, but when I actually went to write it it was feeling too clunky with the rest of the chapter, so I changed it to the posted version)

Wylan wakes up alone one morning. 

He knows, immediately, that something is wrong. The only disturbance of the covers has been made by himself; the other side of the bed is untouched, except for where his hand had landed on Jesper's pillow during the night. The rest is left unruffled and empty.

He hadn’t come back.  Jesper had been sent on a job the night before that hadn’t needed a demo man. Wylan told him he’d wait up, and Jesper told him he didn’t need to. Wylan had planned to wait up anyway. 

Apparently, it hadn’t worked. Wylan does not remember falling asleep, and yet it’s undeniably morning now. Still early enough that the sun isn’t quite peeking through the curtains, but he can tell it will soon.

He tries not to get worked up. He gets worked up anyway. No matter how much he tries to rationalise it, there is a deep pit growing in his stomach, convincing him that something is very wrong. He gets out of bed and leaves the room. He doesn’t bother with boots, just creeps down the hall in his socks.  It doesn’t take long to hear voices. They filter out from Kaz’s office, freezing Wylan in place.  “You still might need a medik,” he hears—Nina’s voice. She sounds tired. “How many times do I have to tell you two I wasn’t trained for proper healing?” 

“You're doing fine.” Jesper. Jesper’s voice. He sounds… dim is the only way Wylan can think to describe it. Tinny. Like the rich, mellow timbre of his words have been syphoned off into something thinner. He coughs wetly. “Gold stars all around Neens, really.” 

“I’m not above knocking you out, you know,” Nina says, but even without being in the room he can tell there’s no real threat in it. It’s soft, fond, and concerned.

Wylan’s heart feels like it’s detached from his chest. Like it’s somewhere else entirely, and wherever that is, someones squeezing it very tightly. He walks closer, almost hovering outside the threshold. He places a hand on the knob. 

It’s been a very long time since Wylan has felt out of place with the Crows, but as he opens the office door, he cannot help but feel—not unwelcome, but uninvited, and left out of the loop.

Unnecessary, his mind supplies, and he tries very, very hard not to give it a chance to amend, worthless. 

He balls up the cuffs of his shirt—it’s one of Jesper’s, though Wylan can’t remember when he’d taken it up as his own. Long enough that it doesn’t smell like Jesper anymore, just Wylan, which is a tragedy—and casts a look around the room, feeling awkward and out of place and comparatively underdressed in only his sleep clothes and socks. 

Kaz looks as he always does, except worse. His hair is falling uncharacteristically messy over his face. He turns sharply from where he’d been facing the window when Wylan enters, eyes even darker than usual.

Nina looks worried, a deep weighty frown on her face as her hands press against Jesper’s abdomen. 

And Jesper looks— 

“What happened?” Wylan balks.  Everyone is staring at him now, and Wylan hates it, hates this, but it all pales in comparison to the awful feeling tearing itself through his chest at the sight of Jesper, Jesper’s face—

“Jes—” Wylan’s voice breaks.  

“I’m fine,” Jesper assures quickly. Nina scoffs. She takes her hands away from Jesper’s stomach to cross them over her chest. “I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine!”

“You’ll be fine when I say you’ll be fine,” Nina mutters.  

Jesper tries to smile at Wylan, tries to give him a surreptitious thumbs up with the hand farthest from Nina, tries to wink of all things. It doesn’t make Wylan feel any better. It also looks like it hurts, because both Jesper’s eyes are puffy and red, and the side of his face sports an angry mark that’s still bleeding sluggishly from his eyebrow. His jaw looks sort of swollen too, and he grimaces at his own smile, so it must hurt.

Looking at it makes Wylan want to cry, so instead he looks at Kaz. 

“What happened?” he asks again, very quietly. 

“Debt collectors. And an idiot.”

“Kaz!” Jesper protests. Kaz shoots him a glare that pierces slightly duller than usual, which makes Wylan worry even more. “It’s not as bad as it looks.” Jesper tries again. 

Wylan doesn’t respond. He keeps looking at Kaz. 

Kaz sighs. He sweeps his hair back in its usual style and pushes up from the window. “He’ll be fine. It’s not good, but nothing with debt collectors ever is. I’m working on it.”

This ask was such a lovely thing to read on a very tough day, so again, ty 🥰

Work-in-Progress Wednesday

Taking a brief break from my break with socials to post some WIP. (Writing this morning is helping me push through irl chaos.) I'm not tagging anyone because with how things are atm, I can't keep up. If you happen to stumble across this, I hope you enjoy it. <3

There have been many moments over the last three years when Dahlia has questioned her sanity; however, none have made her do so more than right now.

As she lays in bed, covers pushed completely off of her, she contemplates her life choices and how it is that she got here to this exact moment. She wanted this—they both did. They wished, prayed, and plunged headfirst wildly into it together without even so much as looking back. Every aspect. Thinking about it now, the whole of their relationship together has been exactly that: both of them together, hands clasped tightly running against whatever destiny has thrown their way. Or perhaps, it could be more aptly put that they ran directly into her arms. Either way, there is not a doubt in her mind that they wanted this—all of it with the full package tied up neatly with a pretty Saturalia ribbon. Only none of it went as planned, and all of it has been harder than she or Ulfric had expected. And perhaps it might sound crazy, and Lydia would definitely tell her she is out of her mind, but despite all of this this with everything that the Divines have brought upon them, she still wants it. 

Maybe that’s the funny thing about life: you run from destiny, yet she makes you want it anyway. Akatosh must be laughing right now.

Dahlia only wishes it wasn’t so godsdamn hot.

She turns again to lay on her other side, hair sticking uncomfortably to the back of her neck. Maybe the floor would be a better option, but then, how would she get up again?

She sighs and carefully pushes herself up from the bed to walk a few laps around the room yet again. Who would have thought that the coldest place in Skyrim would could also be such a sweltering oven?

Any day, any hour, and any minute now she would be blessed if this baby would just come already. As the months have pushed into the beginnings of Summer, Dahlia has only become increasingly uncomfortable, both from the temperature and also from the heft of carrying her swollen stomach around. If she never does this again, it will be all too soon.

(keeping eddie as ladybug because male ladybugs are still called ladybugs so *shrugs* anyways that's it here's the snippet!

The thing is, Buck may not be able to see Eddie, but Chat Noir is. 

It’s reckless and stupid. Possibly on the verge of letting his secret identity become known if he does this. He can already hear Maddie’s arguments of checking in on the Diaz’s in his superhero persona while this lawsuit is still going on. How he might slip and say something so Buck Eddie can’t help but figure out that it’s him. Maddie always claims that if she didn’t see him transform right in front of her when she moved back she would figure out Chat Noir is him anyways. 

For some reason he doesn’t care. He knows Eddie is trustworthy. If anyone can keep a secret, it’s Eddie. 

Buck lands on the Diaz balcony railing when he’s face to face with the man himself. He has to force himself not to yelp in surprise. Still in the Chat Noir persona which means he has to appear calm, cool, and collected. Along with suave and secure in what he’s doing. Eddie, meanwhile, pulls back in shock at the sudden intruder on his property. 

“Chat Noir?” he asks. Eddie’s eyes rake over him as if he can’t believe Buck is actually there. Or well, that Chat Noir is actually there. Buck has to admit the disbelief in Eddie’s eyes is more welcome than the hostility he’s seen earlier today at the grocery store. “What the hell are you doing here?”

“Oh. Um. Patrol?” Buck winces as his tone makes the statement into a question. “Patrol. I’m doing patrol right now. With Ladybug. He has the other half of the city. We do it about once a week to make sure everyone stays safe from being akumatized.” There. Sounds legit. 

Eddie’s mouth twitches up. Buck is familiar with that expression. He gives Chris that same look whenever he’s lying to his dad. Eddie will let Chris lie to him long enough to realize that whatever web he’s spun has become too tangled for him to weave himself out of. Buck’s not sure why Eddie is currently giving him that look, but he’s going to ignore it. “Right. Sounds fun. How do you two coordinate all that? Big city like LA? Must be complicated.” Eddie leans back against the balcony, allowing himself to get closer to Buck who’s still crouching on the railing. 

Jumping fully onto the balcony, Buck waves his hand in the air. “Ah, you don’t want to learn all that. Too boring.” Eddie snorts. “Anyways, how are things with you, Eddie?” 

“How do you know my name?”

Buck scrambles to think of some lie. “Also part of the job description. To know every person I’m supposed to save. You’re Eddie. You have a son, Chris.” His smile widens. “Awesome kid, by the way. Great choice of costume last Halloween.” 

That brings a groan from Eddie. “He went as you. Of course you think it was a great choice.”

“And you made a fantastic Ladybug with him. Though not as great as the original.” He brings a finger to his lips. “Don’t tell him I said that.” 

A laugh escapes from Eddie’s lips as if he couldn’t help it. “I’ll…I’ll try not to.” There's silence for a few seconds.  “My friend had a bet on how many people would wear Chat Noir costumes.” 

Buck tries to keep his composure under control. He remembers that stupid bet he did. Although at the time it didn’t seem stupid. An ego boost - a way to see how much everyone in the city actually likes him. He was looking forward to Halloween. Constantly going to stores to see which costume would be sold out the fastest. Ladybug’s was always the winner by just a hair. When he saw Chris dressed as him he felt such elation he felt like he had all his powers without wearing his suit right then and there. 

“Oh? Who won?” he asks, pretending as if he didn’t already know.

“I - I think he said Ladybug did.” Eddie rubs his hand over his mouth. That’s when Buck notices the bruises.

“Hey. What happened here?” He goes over to take hold of Eddie’s hand. Eddie immediately snatches his hand back. As if snatching his hand would erase the fact that Buck already saw the damage. 

“Nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

“Eddie. Come on. It’s me.”

Eddie’s brows furrow at him in confusion. Right. Buck forgot. He’s not Buck, he’s Chat Noir. There’s no reason for Eddie to confide in him. No reason for Eddie to trust him. “I mean, who better to unload your problems than a random superhero, huh?” 

Eddie looks like he’s fighting something within himself. Then finally he nods, agreeing. “I just needed to punch something.” The words send an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. Something Ladybug said at their last akuma attack. I need an excuse to punch something right now. 

“Any-any particular reason?”

“Buck.” Buck winces at the venom that laces Eddie’s voice when he says his name. “My friend. Or, at least I thought he was. Sometimes I even thought he might be-”

Buck holds his breath as he waits for Eddie to finish his sentence. Might be what? “Things are just really fucked up right now. Chat Noir, I don’t think this is something you can fix right now. Or Ladybug,” he adds as an afterthought. 

“Are you sure? Just tell me what’s going on and I can talk to Buck and-”

Eddie gives him a sad smile. “No. But thank you. Really.” His hand settles on Buck’s shoulder. Like it’s done so many times before. “Go out and finish your patrol.” The smile then turns sly. “Say hi to Ladybug for me, will you?” 

Buck watches Eddie head back inside. When Eddie notices Buck still hasn’t moved, he makes a shooing motion with his hand. The movement is so similar to Ladybug that Buck can’t help but roll his eyes and jump away onto the next balcony. Shaking his head, he grumbles under his breath how stubborn the man is. 

Maybe he’ll just have to do more “patrols” and see if any chinks in Eddie’s armor start to crack. 

He’s not really paying attention to where he’s going. Just enjoying the feel of the night wind against his body as he’s gliding through the city. So it’s a surprise when suddenly a familiar, wry voice says next to him, “Patrolling without me, kitty?”

“Ladybug? Shit, where did you come from? How did you even know I was here?”

The red and black spotted suit shakes with laughter at Buck’s fumble. “I hear things. Have any news to share?”

#is this stupid? yeah #but is this fun? definitely

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

me?? smut?? never!!! lmao i like it all, the kinkier the better. one of my most proudest smut scenes i've written involved some super sweet fisting. i love stuff that's fucking depraved but still with a good undercurrent of softness. love it when they're gross and in love

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i haven't!! generally can only focus on one fandom at a time so i don't know that i ever will but i love a good crossover fic

#tag game #haven't done one in a while this was fun #cuips talking

[theasterous09]

Alright, so I've been off the internet for a few days because I was reading a fanfic (unsurprisingly), and it's a popular Boboiboy x Boku No Hero Academia fanfic (Elemental Hero), and it's so good but I'm so sad that it's still a WIP and it's been a year since it had a new chapter.

Anyway, I'm not that sad about it (kidding, I'm depressed), but I can't help but think of other crossovers for Boboiboy after reading it.

Obviously, I've thought about a crossover between BBB and RC9GN. It's an interesting concept actually, and it works well in my head. But recently, I've been thinking of a different series other than RC9GN that would be a cool x-over for BBB.

Miraculous Ladybug

Listen, I already said before that I don't really like MLB (I used to be a fan, but ehh-), but that's because of how it is written. It is so poorly executed that I just gave up on it, I like to look at the fandom's works more than the canon series at this point. I like the concept and potential the story that Miraculous has, and I think it's being wasted on.

That is one of the reasons why I love imagining a crossover between BBB and MLB. Like, seriously, I know that BBB is a pretty obscure show, and isn't as well-known as MLB, but I really thought there'd be more crossovers of them??? Wouldn't it be an awesome idea for Marinette, Adrien, and co. to enter the BBB universe? Or even the Kokotiam gang to enter the MLB universe? With plenty of villains on both universes, there'd be plenty of writing potential for these two shows together.

Personally, since I'm in the BBB fandom atm, I've been daydreaming thinking of a story where it's the Koko gang that somehow ends up in the MLB universe (thanks to the many amounts of crossover fics and that Elemental Hero fic I've read, I've thought of a way how they got there + it's easier to think of how they got there than how MLB characters would in the BBB universe). They have to find out how to get back to their world, while trying to fit in in Paris so they don't attract too much attention. The latter obviously fails when villains appear and, like the heroes they are, tries to save the day, but they bump into the local heroes of this world: Ladybug and Chat Noir (with additional other heroes depending on the timeline of MLB). Weird shenanigans ensues and the gang escapes from being questioned by the two heroes.

Now, Ladybug and Chat Noir are on the hunt to find the 5 weird people who had powers (just like them, but somehow more different), the gang tries to find someone who can help them find a way back home, and ofc, Hawkmoth (or Shadowmoth or Monarch, idk when this takes place in MLB honestly) takes a liking to these weird, new comers and tries to take advantage of them. And a new (or old?) threat appears from Boboiboy's world (somehow, idk) and tries to form an alliance with Gabriel so that they can both get what they want.

How will the Kokotiam Gang get home? What will Marinette and Adrien do to find those weird people with powers? Once they find them, what then? Will Gabriel be able to get the Miraculouses now that he has a bigger threat? Who would the mysterious villain from BBB's universe be? And will Marinette still be pining over Adrien like in the original series?

That last question, if I were to write this, then I wouldn't do that. I seriously hate writing romance, and Marinette pining over Adrien in almost every episode is boring. So, romance wouldn't be the main focus of the story.

But for the rest of those questions? Honestly, idk. I don't have the motivation to make this into an actual story. I still plan on writing RC9GN: Ninja Watchception once I get the motivation to write again.

Though, it is nice to dream.

#boboiboy #miraculous ladybug #bbb #bbbg #mlb #crossover #x over #WHY ISNT THIS KIND OF CROSSOVER MORE POPULAR?? #LIKE IT IS SO INTERESTING TO ME #I wan a writr abt it #but my motivation jar only has one cent in it #oh well #back to daydreaming

[folongle]

Oh? Please do elaborate!

MY REACTION TO YOU ASKING ME THAT

ok so

they're eeny weeny comics of mine that im gonna shove in2 my art portfolio for school, probably. well. they WILL be comics when i like. start illustrating them. i just need 2 patch a few plot holes and then i will start whipping them up

umm so whats r the premises?? for SSD its like... a bunch of kids that work for the future equivalent of amazon as delivery ppl. i need to find a better way to phrase it LOL. but yeah. its not just that—there are evil crazy people because i refuse to associate with anything that does not involve evil crazy people!! there's this collection of crazy ppl actually, called the ALEHI program, and they all live in a place that everyone thought was uninhabitable. alehi stands for artificial life extension by human intervention and they would do ANYTHING to. yk. find a way to extend life. and it JUST SO HAPPENS that the DIRECTOR OF SPACE AMAZON is riiiight under their thumbs.

with TARP the premise is a lot more... yk. immediately attractive!!! summarisable!! so like, the afterlife place whatever is in mayhem because SOME PEOPLE have discovered NECROMANCY. and now so many random dead ppl r disappearing from the afterlife and becoming alive that society is crumbling. so some random dead ppl have been hired (moreso forced) to like... get people to die basically. some pose as lowtiergod (you should kill yourself... NOW!); others lure ppl to their deaths; yada yada. it follows a failing music artist (and necromancer? that accidentally raises ppl from the dead with such banger tunes?) contacted by one of those dead ppl—one that's too kind to actually repopulate the afterlife AT ALL—and yada yada yada blah blah might make them fall in love idk

OK SO THE CHARACTERS!! ill shove some wips here cuz TARP ppl dont have proper refs yet and the SSD kids r getting redesigned anyway

working on refs for the SSD kids... look how finished this art is!!!! it is not in progress at all!!!! they were actually my first post heheh

anyway, from left 2 right its dikya, verita, lulu, and agapi. to sum them up, from left to right its >:D, <B/, <B3, and >8O.

then theres the ANTAGONIST. and the following image is a snippet of one of those "how do your characters draw themselves?" memes. and i think it sums her up perfectly!

ok TARP. i actually only have 2 designs for TARP (i came up with it like... 2 weeks ago lol. and SSD is still my priority atm) and they're not even finished yet!! just sketches. if u have any colours u think would look good on the fellers pls lmk :)

btw the left girl doesnt actually have wings on her head. thats just character design (and weird hair)!!! wowowo dont i love character design!!!! anyway these two are kind of >:] and <8(

#feli's projects : ssd ! #feli's ocs #feli's projects : tarp !

27,486 hoooo boy idk if that's more or less than expected. like i said, mostly oneshots!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

currently only writing stranger things fics, but every now and then i go back to my spider-man phase so i'll inevitably write spider-man fanfic again. i've also written moon knight (tv show) fanfic before. i just love when my blorbos suffer what can i say

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

NONE of these are stranger things fics fdhgskjfhd

When Peter Forgot What Day It Was

Debriefed

Protector

When the Past Calls

Avengers, Meet Moon Knight

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i try to! i didn't for a while because i didn't know how to respond to like, comments with just emojis? i've always appreciated them but yeah only started trying to respond to ALL comments recently. love comments so much, so i want to encourage as much as possible!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

hmmm idk i tend to write hurt/comfort, like it ALWAYS ends with some sort of happy. so idk. i mean there is To All The Days We Were Together (To All The Time We Were Apart) which i'm SUPER proud of and that is super sad because it acknowledges eddie's canon death while also being a steddie fic. poor stevie

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

hmmmm maybe Google Translate? it's not got LOADS of plot in it it's just a cute lil meet cute.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

gonna also knock so hard on wood for this, but so far no. i've received a comment pointing out how i've gotten various cultural aspects wrong before and just corrected, but never something hateful. i'm definitely VERY afraid of getting hate though. i am fuelled by validation

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

no, i kind of want to give it a try though? i used to write it (like when i was fifteen/sixteen LMAO) and the things i wrote did well but,, obviously i didn't know anything? you know? idk maybe i should give it another go

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

not really? crossovers feel like BIG projects and i haven't really done a big project yet

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no. i've had people request to translate my fics before though? which doesn't count but like,, feels weird because i think one time (when i was writing on wattpad), the person didn't even ask they just started publishing my fic translated and didn't credit me.......... was so strange

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

LMAO yes. both with permission and without as mentioned. i don't mind it if people ask, you know! i just have to make sure it links back to me- it's my work

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i don't know, this is a hard one. steddie right now,, but like. i just enjoy fics my favourite charaters are in, you know? i will read any ship that is well written and contains steve, and most ships that are well written that contain robin, etc etc.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i would LIKE to think i will finish my WIPs but i don't know. im not very good at that. we will see, i don't wanna say any and discourage myself

16. What are your writing strengths?

i find these kinds of questions very hard to answer HAHA. i think maybeeee i'm quite good at writing internal monologue? i don't know. i get worried to say things like that because i don't want to sound like i'm boasting and it not even be a boast that's supported LMAO. i TRY and ENJOY writing internal monologues of characters a lot, and often have to cut things out to make sure it's not going too internal

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

transitions. i'm TRYING to get it in my head that i don't always have to detail every little thing for the reader to know it's happened, you know? need to work on figuring out things people can assume has happened, or fill in the gaps for, and what people can't

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i don't mind it! i think it depends, you know? if the reader is supposed to understand the dialogue, i prefer if there's a translation in brackets or something, or when it's written in english but the dialogue description tells me the language, more than if i have to scroll all the way to a bottom of a chapter to find the translation. and if the dialogue is NOT meant to be understood by the main character/reader (unless you speak the language of course), i LOVE it i think it's neat

19. First fandom you wrote for?

troye sivan..

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

either Separation Entwined (she is near and dear to my heart) or When Peter Parker Forgot What Day It Was because it's me combining all my favourite spider-man oneshot tropes into one thing fhdjsgkdf

Weekend Wip Game ✨

I was tagged by the lovely @daffi-990 thank you mwuah 😘

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more)

(I cut it off halfway cuz I went long like always...)

1. WIP List:

so as you know my wip list is pretty long, but the active ones right now are:

• the mudslide fic

• the jealous eddie fic

• the breeding kink fic

• the accident fic

• the donation smut

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

the mudslide fic is currently standing at 38.6k and I expect at the very least 20k more... which wouldn't just make it my longest current wip, but also the longest fic I've ever written

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

the mudslide fic hands down, unless something drastic happens and one of my wips gets away from me (though from the inactive wips I expect two of them to be around the same length, possibly)

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

I enjoy all of them, but the mudslide fic is surprisingly joyous to write, even though it's mostly just me putting the boys through the emotional and physical wringer lmao

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

listen. I love writing the mudslide fic, but I kinda wrote myself into a hole with it, in the sense that I included a couple of real life locations (though only vaguely) that I just had to make shit up for, which is fine cuz the show does the same, but... idk it's long and the boys spend quite a large chunk of the story separate and it makes me worry that people will find it boring or just idk will be nitpicky about it... like, I have confidence in my writing, but I'm also forever insecure about it??? ugh

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

uhhh I guess the accident fic?? because it's short and it's kind of written in the way I usually write ficlets, which means I don't spiral about the details that much and now I'm worried that it's gonna seem rushed or way too out of sorts 😓

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

none of them, I'm very much a fuck it we ball type of writer

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer’s block?

yeppppp. that's why I have so many active wips atm cuz I got stuck on both of my main ones 🥲

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

the mudslide fic – and she's barely even in it, but she grew on me anyway 💛

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

I have to say the donation smut... or the breeding kink fic, whichever floats your boat I guess

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

the mudslide fic, definitely

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

I'm not sure??? like, I try my best in all of them, but I can't necessarily say if I succeeded idk

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

again, I'm probably gonna have to go with the mudslide fic

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

👆 I've been doing quite a lot of research going into legal procedures, sixth grade curriculum and body decomposition in water, just to name a few (and most of these barely feature btw 🥲), not to mention looking at the map of LA constantly to gauge distances, but it's still kinda fun though

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

uhmmm I don't have high expectations for any of them, if we're talking about like, comments and kudos and stuff... usually the fics I just write in a moment of inspiration and just throw online get more attention than the ones I try to finetune for hours/days/weeks, so you know... I try to write fics for myself and hope that there are people they resonate with 🫶

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

listen, I have really hectic and weird dreams, but I don't think I ever dreamed about any of my wips

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don’t?

well, if nothing else, operating with this many characters is something I'm not exactly used to, so the mudslide fic and the jealous eddie fic are kinda unique in that regard, I suppose

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

I'm not... exactly big on writing goofy stuff, which is unfortunate because I love reading it, but I mean it a 100% when I say angst and smut is my bread and butter

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

not a very deep dive, but I do touch on a side character's background in the mudslide fic, no outside povs though

20. Tell us one thing we don’t know about one or more of your WIPs

idk?? uhh it's not an active wip, but all I could think about is that Homesick For Your Skin isn't my first parallel universe fic, but it's the first one I had to work out without magic 🪄

I'm sure most of you have already done this, but here are five no pressure tags anyway:
