Lokabrenna

(1-?)

Short story # 16

✨Fandom(s) - Vikings & The Last Kingdom

💍Pairing - Osferth X Reader

🕯Summary - After many years, you and your brothers are reunited with your father, King Ragnar. Along side him are two men you've never met. And when met face to face with your father, you unleash your rage of being abandoned.

⚠️Warning(s) - Talk of mutilation, near death experience, abandonment, and that's about it I think.

📝Note(s) - Okay so I randomly started brewing this story in my head. I've watched all but like the last season of Vikings, and this story will have little to do with the storyline up until the point Ragnar comes back. Now I've never watched The Last Kingdom, I want to start watching it soon, but as I am writing this piece I haven't watched any. So this crossover will be interesting to say the least. Oh and I apologize but I am writing this with the idea that the reader is about 6'7", and in time I'll explain why in later notes. But for the most part this won't be mentioned, but it will pop up every so often. Reader is also described to have emerald green eyes, dark hair the first two things being things from her mother, and scars she obtained as a girl. Other than that the readers image is up to you. So the read is kinda like an OC but with your name, and the majority of your image. Oh and in this story the Norse Gods are real, and several will be involved in this story. But some things to do with the Gods isn't actually a part of Norse mythology, I'm just bending some of it to work best with the story. (Thank you for taking the time to read the notes if you have.)

🗝Key information - Lokabrenna meaning Loki's Torch in this story. (Eventually it will make perfect sense.)

Sparing with Björn was something (Y/n) indulged with most days, as he was the only one of her brothers willing to spar with her, and the only one that would push her to better her skills. Though her twin, Ivar would likely spar with her and push her to be the best, his legs prevented him from being able to do as much as Björn could. The others watched their eldest brother fought with their little sister, who wasn't quite so little, as she stood roughly four inches above Björn. Ubbe chuckled when (Y/n) slammed her shield into Björns, making the blond stumble back several inches. "You can do better than that." (Y/n) taunted her brother, blocking his sword and countering swiftly, her blade resting beside his neck. "Honestly I'm beginning to think you are getting old brother." She teased, making the others snicker on the sidelines. Björn scoffed with a grin, breaking away from her and beginning the fight again.

"King Ragnar has returned." A voice called out, the words making (Y/n)'s stance falter, giving Björn the opportunity to trip her, making her land face first into the dirt. "Shit." Björn muttered under his breath, realizing his mistake, he tossed his shield and sword aside. The others approaching as she rolled onto her back, looking to the blue sky with glossy emerald eyes. "I didn't mean to-" She cut Björn off. "It isn't that." She closed her eyes for a moment, only opening them again when Ivar brushed her hair away from her eyes. "He doesn't know she is alive." Ivar reminded their brothers in a soft tone, making the eldest sigh with realization. Björn offered his hand to (Y/n), pulling her to her feet when she accepted his offer. "Well then, he will be surprised hm." The blond patted her shoulder affectionately, smiling when she chuckled at that. "Come on then, let's go see the old man." She dusted herself off then followed behind her brother's, keeping pace with Ivar as she always would.

The growing crowd parted for the arrival of the Princes and Princess, allowing Ragnar to see his children for the first time in many years. The shock apparent when his eyes laid on (Y/n), who stood tall beside her brother's, trying to suppress her emotions. "(Y/n)." Ragnar breathed out her name, tears welling in his eyes at the sight of his only surviving daughter. Ragnar approached her with slow steps, as if he was afraid she would vanish if he approached to quickly. "Little (Y/n)." He smiled taking in the sight of her. "Not so little any more." He remarked with a grin, his eyes casting to her left where Ivar sat, his pointer finger curled around (Y/n)'s, something they had done since birth for comfort. "Hello Ivar." Ragnar smiled down at his youngest son, and for a moment Ivar mirrored his smile, until (Y/n) suddenly shoved Ragnar away. The crowd grew deathly silent, watching the scene unfold before them.

"You left me." She hissed lowly, looming over her father. "I didn't-." Ragnar tried, but she stalked forward, putting her face into his. "You left me for dead." (Y/n) growled quietly, fire practically glowing within her emerald orbs. "I thought you had died." He argued. "I called out to you, I screamed so you would hear me. And yet you left me to burn in that dragons fire." Her gaze cast to the two strange men accompanying the King. "Let me guess, this is the boy you took in after you abandoned me?" She accused, Ragnar's eyes shimmering with shame. "You left all of us, but you would raise this stranger as if he were your own." She scoffed. "You think we did not know? That we didn't keep an eye on you? That we wouldn't hear about the young warrior claiming to be another son of King Ragnar?" She straightened her back, looming over her father once more. "You are no King, and you are no father, you are just an old man wallowing in self pity." She hissed before turning her back on him.

"I am your father, and I am your King!" Ragnar yelled, his anger only fueling (Y/n)'s rage. She quickly spun on her heel, and Björn tried catching her arm as she moved to swing. He failed in holding her back, instead he only pulled two of her rings off before her fist collided with Ragnar's jaw, the warn man fell to one knee, blood oozing from his lip. "You stopped being my father when you left me for dead, and you are a worthless King that even the Gods do not recognize." Her voice boomed over the crowd, and as quickly as she had said that, she stormed off. Shoving her way through the crowd, unaware of her brother's following her. Björn crouched down to pick up (Y/n)'s rings, which had fallen to the ground. While Uhtred and Osferth helped Ragnar to his feet, despite the old King's demands to be left alone. "You are not the man I once knew." Björn commented as he rose to his feet, looking his father in the eyes. "Like (Y/n)... I cannot forgive you for what you did to her." He added before walking away, intent on joining his siblings again.

(Y/n) began her trek into the woods, her sword secured to her hip, and her large grey cloak fastened around her shoulders. "Princess wait a moment." Uhtred called out as he and Osferth jogged after her into the woods. "Why should I even speak to you?" She glowered at the man, who looked almost sheepish before her. "I'm sorry." He offered, which only confused her. "Why are you sorry?" She questioned. "Because of your father." He explained. "I am not angry at my father for raising you... I am angry that he so easily abandoned me and my brothers. And yet instead of coming home, with or without you, he stayed out there and pretended as if he wasn't a King, as if he didn't have his own children to care for." She turned away and began walking again, only for the men to follow her. "You said he left you for dead? I had assumed he left you here with your brothers." He spoke up again, his words causing her to stop again. "My father took me with him when he ran away from Kattegat, I was to young to understand what was happening." She pulled her hood down, properly observing the two.

"I was with him for two years, we lived in a cabin far from here. One evening while he was out hunting a dragon descended upon the cabin. It set the cabin on fire while I was trapped inside, I cried out for my father to save me, but he never came. The dragon had left as quickly as it came, and I was left alone to burn alive." The smaller of the two grimaced at her words. "I found myself trapped in the best place however, as the smoke could not reach me. When part of the wall finally crumbled to the ground, I crawled as best I could out of the cabin. I was weak, and burnt badly. The sky was dark by this point, and my father nowhere in sight." She licked her lips before continuing. "I did the only thing I could think to do, I wept for the Gods. Praying that one of them would hear me, and offer me aid. The wolf God Fenrir heard me, and sent his sons Hati and Sköll to aid me. They found me and used what little magic they could to mend my wounds, which did very little, but it kept me alive long enough for them to bring me home."

She pulled to cord of her cloak, allowing it to fall to the ground. "They ran for seven days and eight nights with me atop Hati until they reached Kattegat. They broke into my families long house, with me on the brink of death, and the moment my mother laid eyes on me she knew what had happened. For she dreamt about it the very same night it happened. She sent for healers from far and wide, and with their help I was nurtured back to health. I bare the scars of my father's negligence, and can never forgive him for it." She turned her back to the men, and quickly swept her shirt up to show them, the mass amount of burnt skin stretched across the expanse of her back. "Gods." Uhtred muttered under his breath, the both of them stunned by the sheer amount of tattered skin, each wondering how she could survive such a thing. The sound of a branch snapping caught their attention, and just as her brothers walked into view (Y/n) dropped her shirt, now facing her brother's.

"You are going to see him aren't you? To pay tribute?" Ubbe asked as she picked up her cloak. "I am." She nodded her head in agreement. "We're coming with you." Björn stated. "Why?" She wondered. "We wish to give thanks to the ones who saved you." Ivar cut in, moving around Ubbe to sit at her feet. "Hvitserk, Sigurd, why are you coming? Neither of you have ever seemed to care much about me." She tilted her head, her words making Hvitserk scoff. "You are still our sister." Sigurd argued. "We care more deeply than you think." Hvitserk added. "Okay... You can all come with me." She smiled at her brother's, her gaze casting to Uhtred and Osferth when Uhtred cleared his throat. "Who are you going to see?" He questioned. "Fenrir wolf." Her words stunned them both for a moment. "We shall come as well." Uhtred insisted. "And why is that?" (Y/n) questioned. "I feel that we must." He vaguely explained, making (Y/n) arch a brow at him.

"If that is what you wish, then so be it." She turned her attention then to Ivar. "I shall carry you Ivar, this is a long journey, and I do not wish for you to suffer." She knelt before him. "So you shall suffer instead?" Ivar argued stubbornly. "I will happily suffer for you dear brother." She assured him, before playfully bumping her forehead against his. Only turning her back to him when he grinned at her, and effortlessly she hoisted her twin onto her back, and rose to her feet. "We will not be back until tomorrow evening." She warned them, half expecting Uhtred and Osferth to turn back. A faint grin ghosting her lips when they continued to follow her lead deeper into the woods. "I didn't expect Fenrir to be so close to Kattegat." Uhtred remarked. "He isn't. But one of the passageways to him is." (Y/n) explained, the entire encounter leaving Osferth confused in his silence, though he continued to follow his friend regardless of his doubts.

Note

I forgot if I've already asked you this question, but who is your number one favorite Fictional Antagonist from Media? Rules are as follows; feel free to ignore:

If you want to choose a recurring villain like Bowser or The Joker, you have to choose a particular incarnation of this character. Like Alan Moore's Joker or Paper Mario 64's Bowser.

Specific Characters/Entities Only. You can't say, "Haunted Houses that aren't haunted by, like, a single ghost or anything in particular" like my mom wanted to. She settled firmly on "The Overlook Hotel" and she's a stronger person for it.

Villainous Duos like Boris & Natasha are accepted.

People have a hard time picking a #1, so you're allowed to list as many runner-ups as you like. Listen to your heart.

Protagonists who are their own worst enemies don't count!

Villainous characters who are protagonists in their story are very begrudgingly accepted. Whether or not George Costanza (A Villainous Protagonist) or Detective Columbo (A Heroic Antagonist) count is beyond the scope of this paper.

Thank you for your time!

hmmmm!! that's a really interesting question to chew on actually.

i'm not usually drawn to villains or villain-driven stories, outside of games that necessitate it as a gameplay mechanic or genre staple a la mario games or your standard JRPGs. and i wouldn't call a glorified game mechanic a character if they really don't do much besides throw barrels at the player to jump over. porky and giygas are exceptions but honestly not much; they aren't very complicated characters, even though they're snappily written, and most of where they shine is just the fact that they're one well-placed load-bearing piece in a larger cohesive narrative. they don't really capture my attention outside of their gameplay role.

i'm overall much more compelled by Romantic with a capital R stories about internal, oftentimes more abstracted struggles. i mean, i don't have to tell you that my favorite books EVER are "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Great Gatsby," both of which play with deuteragonists as foils to the narrator that inevitably spiral and leave the reader with something of a thought exercise regarding the intersection of nature versus nurture, intent versus action, past versus future, et cetera. the characters themselves are symbolic of sociological concepts so much larger than themselves, and because of that, they can't truly be classified into "hero" or "villian", because the topics those books grapple with are so incredibly messy and morally-fuzzy that the characters who exemplify them must reflect that same complexity and nuance.

as soon as a story starts to veer towards "all our problems are caused by One Guy who we can remove from the equation forever," it usually loses me, or if nothing else it just makes me zone out when the villain and his evil army of doom is on screen until we're back to introspective character-building moments between the protags, deuterags, etc. i'm the boring guy who likes slow, dialogue-driven things more than flashy show tunes.

ALL THAT BEING SAID......

villains really only shine (for me) if they're funny as fuck. that's the one way they can really get my attention as a character that has, by definition, been written into a unilaterally negative role that must be booed. they get to be FUNNY! and they get to be my favorite kind of funny: insane slapstick funny. i like seeing cartoony villains get absolutely pulverized, thrown around like wet dishrags, set on fire, flung off cliffs, you name it. the zanier the better. so here's my own elite 4 in ascending order:

fourth is 2012 avengers movie Loki. very hammy, very showy, extremely puncheable face, and he takes SO much physical punishment and writhes like a worm the whole time. super fun.

third is pokemon's Archie. emerald is my favorite game but archie SHINES in alpha sapphire. he's such a huge personality and he takes hits with a smile. and then he gets a big fuzzy redemption at the end because this is a game for kids, but even that is so over-the-top cornball that i just laugh and smile the whole time instead of rolling my eyes. a good wholesome time was had by all.

second is Mr. Burns in the simpsons. let me preface this by saying i really don't watch anything after, ehhhh, i'd say season 8 or 9, because that's about where my box sets ended growing up. any episode where Mr. Burns gets some slapstick gags about his incredibly frail body that runs on pure evil is a good episode. i especially love "the springfield files," "homer the smithers," "homer at the bat," and "who shot mr burns" parts 1 and 2.

and my favorite is undoubtedly Sheldon J. Plankton. similar situation as simpsons; i don't watch anything after seasons 1-3 and the first movie. he commands every single scene he's in, which is especially impressive given that he's literally just a single tiny copepod. he's got the best villain laugh EVER. he's even a delight in the game "battle for bikini bottom"... you GOTTA check out BFBB Rehydrated if you like the spirit and snark of the early seasons. i love him in "walking small," "F.U.N.," "the algae's always greener," and of course, the movie. he's evil! he's diabolical!! he's LEMON SCENTED!!!!

#i'm not sorry i wrote a fucking essay. if you get me talking about Art Analysis you will never hear the fucking end of it!!!!#shebbz shoutz #ask

I caved. I watched Loki S2

Loki season two was fine but too many of you are being insufferable about the series itself and its lore. Timelines and universes are not interchangeable things–a universe contains timelines according to the series' lore itself and I don't understand how people do not understand this. MCU Loki now holds the timelines of 199999. Quit throwing the 616 thing around (looking at you Feige) and talking about "worlds". Variants are the same people across timelines according to logic, that's why some of the Lokis in S1E5 (iirc episode number) made no sense–Mobius did.

The first season remains one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune to see, so to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the second is something.

Be warned–pleasantly surprised does not mean "omg it's perfect" it means "I did not expect this measure of respect for character and narrative, there's some good points and there's definitely bad points".

Still, the first three episodes were boring. The narrative in them and in some places of the second three was clunky. Things were underexplained and impersonal, both rushed and scattered. X-05 did not appear outside of the first season premiere, not even the first season proper (according to the internet because I indeed had zero recollection of him and refuse to rewatch S1) yet the second season treats him as if the audience is familiar with him–and it's confusing as heck. I cannot even properly recall what exactly happened in those episodes because it was so clunky and scattered and half explained. Especially the characters and their goals and stakes. I barely cared for Loki's, let alone anyone else's–well except Ouroboros. I love that guy.

Wow, we have to save all these freed timelines? Sure. I mean it's the right thing to do, so let's do it. It would've been so easy to actually get the audience to personally care–have Loki realize in those infinite timelines, there were some he could be happy in. His mother, his brother, even his father to whom his attachment is not resolved, there had to be timelines where they were happy and safe, perhaps even with him. In some of those timelines, Loki gets his revenge on Thanos, he gets to heal. He comes to term with his birth and heritage, he remedies the wrongs he has been done and has done to others in turn. Yes, those timelines deserve to exist, because Loki should know he deserves to be happy too. His "friends" too. Those stories deserve to exist.

Speaking of under-explained... so at one point Loki just... gains control over time jumps? Like that? Did I miss something in the whole thing? Like if it's because it's him, according to The Who being what is important ("in magic", I would have expected) then say it.

Some pieces were predictable. The whole interrogation of X-05 match one and two, the ending path itself (I was surprised by the tree thing though), Loki pruning himself (did that scene really need to be drawn out like that? We get what's happening, get on with it).

Some pieces were drawn out like the self-pruning, like retrieving Victor Timely. The whole time I was like "You've seen him, you can block objects in mid-air and teleport people in cages, snatch him and throw him in a portal so he can see the TVA instead of just talking to him and convince him–why does he need to be convinced?? Show him!!?" Details like these, like the machine that makes the shrinking cubes being left at all in the cell, Ravonna not actually looking to see if any other minutemen were considering her offer before compressing them all (I guess they had to slim down the cast, but man), Loki the Jotun with super strength having to run kilometers to catch one human–silly.

Things that were left out–Thanos, completely. The Jotun heritage. Loki being the scapegoat child in the narcissistic royal family, all his conditioning. It is said he wants a throne, it is never acknowledged why: being groomed to do so since childhood through mentions he was born to be a king, upbringing, education, treatment by family and society. The gender fluidity and sexuality, though with the MCU's regard for those things, it's likely better they left them alone–though the lack of shapeshifting was miffing. New York was handled better than I would've expected, but still breezily.

Now to be fair, many things were good. B-5 outright stating that the pruning the TVA does is an atrocity and convincing others. I'm ambivalent about Loki and Mobius–their relationship in the first season was a terrible one, but they genuinely roped me in in the second. Some things were funny in that delicate way that doesn't need clownery and one-liners that I'd been missing ever since the first two Thor movies. Ouroboros (especially in episode 5–ouch, too close to home). The soundtrack, amazing. The acting came across as more heartfelt. I even managed to tolerate Sylvie in the last few episodes–and oh yeah, leaving romance of any kind out, completely. Thank fuck. Loki actually being the main character of his own series. The fifth and sixth episodes. The sets, the props also felt real. The final outfit is growing on me. The dialogues, the interactions, the camera work, my gods, some parts were amazing. I am willing to rewatch it to make more sense of things, and look at other MCU works to see if it will impact them. I had given up on the MCU–Loki roped me in, Loki gave me back some interest when I thought it was dead for good.

Oh I'm still mad all my searches for comics appearances are cluttered with MCU stuff. I'll be mad until it calms out. "What if it never-" then I guess I'll never stop holding a grudge and complaining.

In the end, I'm just glad Loki got his not-terrible ending. I don't like that his final choice and chance was to sacrifice himself and all his needs for others, sitting in a tree holding the 199999 universe's timelines together, alone after saying teary eyed that he doesn't want to be alone. But it's still better than how he was treated and discarded from T:Ragnarok to Infinity War, and it doesn't exclude Loki from showing up again, some way or the other.

Regards, Loki - Chapter 38

Master List

After being inundated with dozens of texts from her small group of friends, Louisa met up with them that following morning.

From the very second she stepped into the cafe, they pulled her to a table near the counter and started pelting her with so many questions that she couldn't tell who asked what.

“What was he like? “

“Was he handsome?“

“Is he a good dancer?”

“Did you kiss?”

“What was he wearing?”

“What did he do when he saw you?”

She waved her hands to cut them off. “Holy crap guys. Give me a second to breathe.” Brad got up and made her a cup of hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream and placed it on the table in front of her.

“Now spill,” He said. “We need details, lady!”

She spent the next 20 minutes telling them bits and pieces: what the event looked like, all the movie props set up, the music, the dancing, and (yes) the kissing. “It was like being in a fairy tale.*

All three had dreamy looks on their faces, trying to imagine it. Cora realized something. “Did you not take pictures? Please tell me you took at least one or two pictures!”

“I got one picture.” She pulled out her phone and showed them a selfie of her with the Ludo prop.

While they were happy to see ‘a’ picture, it's not what they were anticipating. She shrugged. “It was really hard to not just get lost in it, but I did.*

She then told them what happened when she made it into the ballroom. “When I spotted him, he was on the other side of the room, and of course I got over there as fast as I could.* everyone nodded, eager to hear more.

“When I got there, I couldn't find him. I turned around, and there he was, right where I'd just been. He made his way across, cutting across the dance floor. It's like there was something just pulling us together.”

Chad and Cora gasped. “Like a fairytale,” Brad chimed in.

Louisa continued. ‘He just held out his hand. I placed mine in his, and he took me out to the floor where we danced for I don't know how long until ....”

Her story was interrupted by the chime of someone coming in the front door. Chad got up to help them, instructing the group not to say anything without him and then returned to the table once he finished ringing up their customer so that Louisa could continue her story.

“I don’t mean to interrupt……..okay, well I do, but if this guy ends up being some sort of scam artist or a jerk, I’m gonna kick his ass.” Brad and Cora agreed. No one was opposed to kicking the crap out of someone who messed with their Louisa. She’d already been through more than enough. She doesn’t deserve to get hurt again.

Chad winked. “There’s always hall pass. But I get…….”

“Eye candy privilege. Yes, I know.” Everyone laughed. “Deal.” Louisa knew it wouldn’t come to that, though. She was entirely smitten with her Lok……James. ‘I gotta remember he actually has a name,’ she thought to herself.

Cora snatched her phone and started looking at the messages, hoping to get the name of this mystery man only to find he was still listed as Loki in her contacts. “Does this guy have a name? If his real name is Loki, I’m gonna laugh, but I have a feeling that’s not actually his name.”

“James,” Louisa replied.

Everyone oooooo’d and ahhhh’d. “That’s a nice, solid name. What does he look like? Because you failed epically at taking any pictures so we could judge him.”

A smile spread across her face just thinking about that. “He’s definitely tall. At least 6’2”, maybe a little taller, Dirty blond hair. You can’t see it just looking at him, but he’s strong. I could feel the muscles in his arms. He’s gotta work out or something. And his hands? There’s some calluses. He does some work with his hands, but they’re warm.”

It’s obvious that she’s, at minimum, twitterpated over this man. Everyone let out a wistful sigh until an abrupt, very loud shriek came out of Chad causing everyone in the cafe to wince and cover their ears.

“What? What the hell caused you to make that ungodly sound?” Cora rubbed her ears, chad’s shrieking causing them to ring.

He responded in a stage whisper. “It’s him!”

“Him who?”

“IT’S HALL PASS!”

Since their backs were turned to the door, Cora and Louisa started to turn around to see who it was before Chad told them not to look. He didn’t want it to be obvious. Rather than let Brad take his turn, Chad scrambled to the counter as hall pass entered. By the time he got up to the counter to order, Chad already had his usual ready. Hall pass picked it up and turned around. Spotting Louisa, he smiled and walked over to her quickly with his long legs. When he reached her table, he bent over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. “Good morning, darling.”

Chad shrieked again, watching his hall pass make a pass at Louisa. So he marched over there to tell him off. How dare he just go up to someone, especially Louisa, and force affection? Before he could say anything, Louisa gestured to the empty seat next to her.

“Everyone, this is James. James, this is……well, everyone.” She pointed to each person, giving both their real names as well as the names she used in their texted messaging. Chad shrieked again. “Chad! You have to stop making that ungodly sound. Use your words!”

Chad stage whispered, pointing at James. “Hall pass.” Her eyes went wide, looking over to James before laughing. James looked between her and Chad, very confused.

“Apparently, you’re Chad’s hall pass,” she told him and explained what that meant. Once he understood, he laughed as well. “I’m sorry Chad, but I’m completely taken by this woman right here.”

Chad looked back to Louisa. “You’d better keep up your end of the bargain.” Everyone else was confused except for Louisa who laughed yet again. She had to explain this to James. “Chad told me that if Loki ended up being a complete ass that he would set me up with his hall pass as long as he got ogling privileges.” James laughed.

Cora pointed a stern finger at James. “Just so you know. If you hurt her, we’ll make you disappear.”

“Duly noted. I wouldn't expect anything less.” In fact, James was glad to hear it. It was a testament to the strong friendship between them.

Louisa tugs his sleeve. “Do you have some pictures from last night? This lot were kinda mad that I didn't really take any.”

He pulled out his phone. The board received a link to pictures taken by the photographers hired for the event. Clicking on the link, he handed the phone to her friends to browse through them.

There were a large number of pictures, but at one point, there were quite a few pictures featuring him and Louisa. Granted, James hadn't looked at them yet. So he was just as surprised to see so many where he and Louisa became the subject of one of the photographers. These pictures made it evident how much these two were smitten with each other from the moment they finally laid eyes on each other.

You Are Worth It- Loki Laufeyson xreader fan fic

Summary: Y/N is feeling depressed and bad about themselves & Loki comforts & reassures Y/N and helps cheer her up

Warnings: mentions of depression, mentions of not feeling good enough, mentions of crying, soft Loki, angst, fluff, let me know if I miss anything

~Y/N’s POV~

I’m not sure how it started but I felt really low about myself and didn’t really feel like doing anything today so I decided to lay down in bed and I scrolled through social media for a while to keep my myself from crying but that didn’t work as I had hoped, I started to cry really hard. Loki ran into the room looking panicked and said “darling what is it?? What’s the matter Y/N? Did you hurt yourself?” I shook my head after wiping my tears away and got myself to sit up and said “no I-I’m ok Loki.. just feeling really down and I just.. I don’t feel good enough Loki.”

~Loki’s POV~

I sat down in bed next to Y/N and pulled her into my lap and held her tight and moved her phone to the bedside table and said “Y/N my pet listen to me, I know exactly how you are feeling, I’ve gone through these feelings many times before but you know who helped me to help remind me that I was good enough?” Y/N sat up a bit and said “me?..” I smiled and said “that’s right darling , listen to me, you are more than enough alright? You are perfect, the most wonderful woman I have had the pleasure of knowing. You are perfect regardless of what your mind tells you my sweet, please promise that you will never give up on yourself and that you will love yourself because you are worth it. I love you so much darling.”

I kissed her head and held her while she cried everything out and she lifted her head up to look at me and said “you are amazing Loki thank you for taking care of me baby it means so much and I promise Loki I won’t give up I’m just having a hard day.” I kissed her forehead and said “I know darling but I promise it’ll get better, why don’t we go out and do something, anything you want my love, we can go get one of those sugary drinks you love or just go out for a walk what do you say?” She smiled and said “that sounds really good Loki, I love you so much.” Y/N leaned in to kiss me and I smiled at her and said “I love you more my sweet, why don’t you get dressed and we’ll go do something hmm?” She got up and said “ok, give me a few minutes and I’ll be ready.” I was so proud of Y/N for being so strong I couldn’t bare it if anything happened to her.

~Y/N’s POV~

I got dressed in my favorite hoodie and jeans and brushed my hair and met Loki by the front door and went to hug him and said “hey love, I’m ready to go.” Loki smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around me and said “I’m so proud of you darling, have you eaten today at all yet?” I felt guilty and shook my head feeling shy and he just smiled and leaned down kissing my head and said “no matter Y/N it’s alright, that’s what we’ll do first we need to get some food into your system you’ll feel better.” I never felt so loved and cared for in a long time, Loki changed all that and never made me feel bad or thought less of me and I always felt safe with him.

We went out to our favorite restaurant and Loki ordered me my favorite meal and made sure I ate everything and would tell me stories while we were out. I loved hearing his stories about Asgard and his adventures with his brother Thor. Loki saw I had finished eating and said “good job Y/N thank you for eating I’m proud of you, feel better?” I nodded and I did actually feel a little better, I looked at the menu and saw there was a desert section and I said “hey would it be ok if I ordered a piece of pie while we’re here?” Loki looked at what I wanted and said “oh absolutely darling you deserve it.” I smiled feeling excited and I waved someone over and ordered the pie. When the pie came loki said “ooh may I try a bite?” I handed him a fork and said “please! Help yourself honey! Take as much as you’d like.” Loki took a piece and said “yum, that is very tasty pet, what do you call it?” I ate another piece and said “it’s chocolate silk pie it’s very popular.” loki smiled and said “it is very good, how are you feeling now darling?” I finished the last piece and got the check for the meals and said “I’m doing a lot better Loki thank you for helping me get out today, this is just what I needed you are wonderful to me.” Loki took my hand in his kissing my hand and said “darling I would do anything for you, I hate seeing you sad, you deserve to be happy.” I blushed and said “Loki, I’m happy with you as long as I’m with you I have everything I need, wanna go for a walk?”

Loki nodded and we both got up and went for a walk along the river and I breathed in the fresh air feeling so relaxed and Loki had us stop at a spot for a moment and came closer to me lifting my chin up kissing me and said “darling you did great today, and if it’s possible I’ve fallen more in love with you and remember never give up and if you ever feel low again please tell me.” I pulled loki in for another kiss and said “I promise Loki thank you for an amazing day I love you so much.” He smiled and noticed I was sleepy and said “let’s go home Y/N you’ve done enough today.” He took my hand and we both went home and as soon as we got home I curled up in bed with loki and closed my eyes feeling relaxed on his chest while he held me close to him. Loki played with my hair and noticed I fell asleep and whispered “goodnight my dear Y/N I love you.”

Hey lovelies ♥️♥️ I wanted to write this Loki comfort fic bc I have been feeling low recently and writing this helped cheer me up a bit 🥹💚 I hope you enjoy this soft Loki fluff, love you all dears xx

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you so much for tagging me @zyrafowe-sny!! No pressure tags: @raining-stars-somewhere-else @kestrel-wylde @sir-ballister-boldheart @sarcastictissy @enigma-the-mysterious @kowalskiology101 @just-a-music-and-poetry-lover @fellshish @actual-changeling and anyone else who sees/wants to join, god i need more fanfic writer mutuals-

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Currently 144, most of which are one-shots but my amount of multi-chapter fics has been increasing lately. They're fun!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

666,595 words.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

At the moment, Good Omens is my main, but other fandoms I've written a LOT for are The Owl House, Modern Family, Nimona, and Puss in Boots. I've written a lot of one-off stories for different fandoms all across the board, such as Loki, Spider-Man ATSV, Heartstopper, and The Umbrella Academy.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

into the light of the dark black night (Nimona) which also had a work inspired by it here, The Child Soldier (TOH) which is also my second most read fic, learning to love again (Nimona), bloodshed crimson clover (Nimona), and shackled conscience (TOH)

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

I do, every time!! I love comments and I think that responding to them even it's something as simple as a thank-you and a heart encourages readers to comment more! I love my readers and want them to know that they are appreciated.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably a ventfic I wrote about Barney from Dead End: Paranormal Park, but for a more general one, but i might be hopin' about this (oh, what a sin) (Good Omens), which I actually originally wrote to be exclusively a Tumblr thing but it expanded to the point that I figured I might as well post it, haha.

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

I mean, I've written WAY too many fluff stories of Modern Family, so a lottt of those, but also That Lovely Autumn Serenade (The Owl House) really sticks out to me, it's one of the first pieces I did for Huntlow and probably the first all-fluff piece I did, and I went back and edited it late last year. It's cute!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have, actually! Several times. I've been told that I write relationships to be too codependent in stories where said codependence is always addressed as being unhealthy and is corrected into a healthier dynamic. I've been told that diagnosing someone with ASD in 2007 is ableist because the term ASD wasn't used by the DSM at the time, something that is entirely false. I have been told that the power set I gave to a god-tier-level-of-power character was wrong, and told that I should delete my entire fic because it was so wrong - which it was not. I've also gotten bots on my fics before!

I find it all quite amusing. Especially the ASD person because I responded with a multiple-paragraph explanation of the DSM's system of diagnosing in 2007 that I had researched for the fic in question. They, of course, never responded.

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

Absolutely I do. Most of it is kept private in the very depths of my google docs, but I have uploaded a few, all M/M and usually very praise kink-oriented. I have also uploaded 2 anonymously. guard thy mouth, thy serpent’s tongue (Good Omens) is both my favorite and most recent.

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

Nope, no crossovers, but I've definitely gotten inspiration from other media, such as the play Orestes and the episode Save the Cat from SPOP most notably.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have! how did you two meet? (Puss in Boots) has been translated into Russian!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Currently, it's absolutely Ineffable Husbands (Aziraphale x Crowley, Good Omens), and I have written nearly 150,000 words already for them in the short few months I've been in the fandom, all of which can be found here.

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

Askdjskdjkhfgh I have so many unfinished Modern Family fics since I fell out of that hyperfixation,,, but other than that I don't really have many unfinished fics that aren't smut that are my private Thoughts. I do have an old OLD Raeda fic that I found recently that I might finish just because I LOVE the TOH fandom, and writing for it was always so fun because the readers are very interactive and kind, but! We shall see. It's .... not very good.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue for sure, and I'm also very good at writing gory scenes and descriptions in general, as long as I don't get long-winded about it. I actually once wrote a little 'lesson' on dialogue and how to write it for a friend, and if you might find that helpful, feel free to check it out here. I'm also great at not getting too worked up over the imperfections of the first draft.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

ENDINGS. Fucking endings, Jesus Christ I cannot write endings. Also descriptions, I get way too strung out on them and then they go on forever and never stop. Also using way too many commas and dashes; I get way too obsessed with how things look and not how it reads.

Also also - titles. Summaries. Fuuuucking tags. Titles.

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

I've used bits of Spanish in my fics for TOH and PIB, but I always run it through a reliable translator (DeepL) and then add a note giving 1) the translations and 2) telling anyone who speaks the language to PLEASE correct me on anything, which people often do!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Lucifer fandom, way back in 2021! I wrote a redemption arc story for Michael. I edited it in full (rewrote it, really) last year because I will be completely honest, it was garbage. But I enjoyed that story and it's still my most read to this day.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I have several, actually.

brought by the sunlight of the spirit (to pour into rain) (Good Omens) - if you do read this one, it can be VERY VERY VERY TRIGGERING, so take care. It's a heavy story, but one that was very cathartic for me. The premise is Crowley being tortured in the worst way by Hell, and Aziraphale helping to 'fix' what Crowley thinks is so broken.

Pull Up the Ladder When the Flood Comes (Good Omens) - Crawley saving children in Mesopotamia, and Aziraphale coming to his aid while struggling with immense religious trauma. Another one that was extremely cathartic for me, which is why I hold it so near and dear.

Butterfly Tattoo (Modern Family) - also can be VERY triggering (there's a common theme here, isn't there?), this is an AU story where Mitchell runs away in 1989 and struggles for a long time before coming to be happy and to love himself, and the story follows him as he reunites with his sister and father after 20 years of no contact. I did an inane amount of research for this fic and it's the longest I've ever written, clocking at around 50,000 words.

shackled conscience (TOH) - again, trigger-heavy. Pre-s2 Darius stumbles across Hunter bleeding out in the castle and tries taking care of him. Not a happy ending story, but there are a couple of brief sweet exchanges between the two.

11 Thoughts I Had While Reading Loki Issue 3

Contains spoilers for the first three issues (but mostly the third issue) of the Loki miniseries. Also likely contains spoilers for many of the comics starring or featuring Loki I normally talk about (including King Thor, Loki: Agent of Asgard, Defenders: Beyond, Young Avengers). Also alternating pronouns for Loki throughout.

So in the "And that's what you missed on Glee" (by which I mean the recap/prologue), they explicitly call Loki the God of Stories, which apparently I missed or forgot about in Chapter Two (or they didn't call him that, but I think they did). So, post-Agent of Asgard, but as yet unclear (to me) if post-Defenders: Beyond or mid-Defenders: Beyond or what.

"But we know what you're probably wondering. What has any of this got to do with Loki?" WHOLE-ASS MOOD. That's what I'm constantly thinking!

Can I just say how much I love whenever Loki hangs out with their Young Avengers friends post-Young Avengers? The YA aren't exactly warm towards them anymore, but they're also not outright hostile usually, so they're almost real friends. It's sweet. Loki deserves to have more than just Verity and Thor in their life. (And they don't even have Verity in this comic, which I'm upset about.)

Loki's look in this issue is just peak genderfluid Loki for me. The fingerless gloves, the coat, the black nail polish, the slightly less angular but not quite smoothed over facial features, the slightly longer and wavier than usual but not shoulder-length hair with the bang flipped over one horn. The make-up.

(I did not take this picture for this post. I took this picture because I love the way they look in this panel and needed to save it to look at later.) And there was something about his chest on the cover that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I just put on my binder and looked at myself in the mirror and something about how my chest looks in the binder made me go 'Is Loki wearing a binder?' (This is just my personal headcanon based on the similarities in appearance from my current experience, I don't necessarily think the artist intended to draw him while hinting at a binder, and I'm not even sure how you would do that without showing all or part of the binder itself. Practically, it could just be the effect of his armor. But I'm going with it, even though Loki can shapeshift.)

KO-MIR PULLING A LOKI IN KING THOR CHILLING (no pun intended) IN A SUN

Not me stretching the allegory of Ko-mir to its breaking point trying to make it relevant to Loki.

Ultimately, I don't care how much of a lie the story of how Loki got the piece of Naglfar back is. I love watching Loki at peak power, even if it's not true. I mean, he achieved it somehow, who's to say he didn't do it this way?

The way Loki has nail polish on his cuticles. Something about how his hand isn't steady and he's not so much a perfectionist that he won't go back over the edges with rubbing alcohol afterwards.

Should...should I know who Bullseye is? The only Bullseye I know is a gangly toy horse. This guy looks like someone tried to make a Captain America toy but wanted to avoid a lawsuit.

"Corporate wants you to find the differences between these two pictures" meme, but it's Muck Mulligan making mob bosses' eyes bleed with the Good News of Naglfar, and an Early Modern painting of missionaries bringing typhoid and gunpowder--I mean, Christianity, to the far corners of the world.

So final thoughts re:my post before issue three came out: I wrote an entire note about when I thought this series takes place in Loki's comic arc, and in explaining why I thought it occurred then I ended up talking myself out of it. So at this point I actually think this is after DB, like entirely after DB. He seems enough like his end of AoA (post-ego death) self that I think her memories have been restored to her. The only thing is that Thor isn't dead, like he is for this iteration of Loki, which is established right at the beginning of DB (the timeline for that comic is really confusing), and implied that Loki had a hand in it (again). I think Loki's memories have been restored post-DB, and that enough time has passed since then that Thor's come back (as he tends to do). Probably other comics have established how/why he died in that part of the timeline and then how he came back, and then at some point after those events I think is when this miniseries takes place. Loki isn't quite their old self again, but is sorting through their memories and current personhood and trying to reconcile the two, as well as reclaiming her vocation to save the cosmos (from the end of DB) and figuring out what that means. And making up for past and current mistakes in the form of stopping the pieces of Naglfar from wreaking havoc on the universe. Very much looking forward to what issue four and beyond has in store for him; I think we might finally be back on track for what Al Ewing had envisioned for this character and I'm appreciating that a lot.

What did you all think of this issue? When do you think it takes place, or do you think it's its own timeline that is just cherrypicking interesting story beats from comic Lokis past?

sigyn and loki….(detective) prince and princess….soulmates…

i keep thinking of how y/n’s arcana would probably be judgement, but if akechi had to choose an arcana for y/n, it would be the world- because she is his world. akechi heartbreak when he learns she’s a phantom thief (probably through something very stupid because he’d know her so well. any ideas on that stupid thing though…👀 perhaps his tendency to see through anything she says? a small scratch that he worries about?)

BUT! think yusuke and reader!! yusuke being incredibly artistic and reader being musical!! reader composing pieces for him and about the two of them! yusuke creating a piece of both of them together!! a painting he’d proudly show his teachers and ask to be placed in a gallery!!

- 💌 anon

reader's arcana would depend on their life and struggles!

each arcana represent the main defining struggle (or perhaps even the root of their struggles), and how they choose to go about the situation. the justice arcana in particular are usually associated with fairness, or rather the lack of it most of the time. like akechi, and his views on justice and want to exact revenge on shido for his mother (the unfair situations he and his mother were left with). another example is nanako (p4), where even though her mother was the one who died, it sort of felt like her father died with her. her father was always working, leaving nanako to be by herself most of the time (dojima is very strict with her, but at the same time leaving her alone most of the time. feels sorta unfair, huh?) i also think (personal interpretation) most justice arcanas redefine the meaning of justice in their own ways. (akechi's whole arc, nanako at the climax of p4 story). i would go on about the other justice arcanas but it would be too long HSDAHSDSD

THE WORLD ARCANA PICKUP LINE IS GOLD THO

AAAAA i actually want to make a musically-inclined s/o with yusuke... its such an interesting concept. s/o would be the subject for most of yusuke's artworks and yusuke would be the subject for most of s/o's songs... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i have a personal headcanon that even if yusuke is not a singer he would be able to hold a tune . . . like maybe s/o samples some of the voiceclips they have of him . like maybe yusuke whistling can be heard in the background of one of their songs. . . or maybe yusuke could be a backup vocalist for reader!?@?!

aaaaa . . . so many ideas but i am swamped w work rn . .. thanks for sending this in!

#akiology talks #💌 anon #SORRY I WENT ON A TANGENT #I REALLY LOVE TALKING ABOUT THE ARCANAS #because i realized most of my favs were emperors #aka akihiko sanada #and kanji tatsumi #and YUSUKE KITAGAWA

This week in “Gremble Goofed Up :(”

Two cautionary leatherworking tales for you, my friends, one with a happy ending and one without -- and how to avoid these tragedies yourself.

Story #1

So when I’m tracing my pattern pieces onto leather, I usually use a fine-tip sharpie:

(Behold, three simultaneous pairs of Wonder Woman greaves in progress, from back when that was a Thing.)

Many people use a scratch awl to trace their patterns, so they’re actually pressing and leaving an indentation in the leather, but I prefer not to -- ink is easier to see, pens are easier to control than awls, and I can change the arrangement of the pieces if I find a more efficient way to orient them, whereas if you’ve pressed lines into the leather, those lines are there to stay. Since most things I make get dyed black anyway, it doesn’t matter if a bit of the ink marks are visible on the edges (and beveling them usually shaves off all the remaining ink anyway).

Except this time I was also making Link’s bracer from Breath of the Wild (which is brown), and I accidentally left a different piece face-down on it when I was casing them. For all that sharpie is a “waterproof” ink, it does bleed some, and I wound up with the outline of a Loki bracer right smack in the middle of my Link bracer. 🤦‍♂️ I didn’t think to take a picture of it, but here is the goof recreated with scrap leather:

BUT! I remembered the time when I was making the Anders brigandine, and I had painstakingly numbered the backs of the plates in sharpie so that I would remember how to arrange them -- only for the alcohol-based dye bath to completely strip the sharpie away. So this time I decided to use that to my advantage, but I did want to make sure it would work before I sunk any more time into the bracer. Before doing any tracing or carving or stamping, I took the damp leather and submerged it in dye --

And then the rare I’d been camping in WoW suddenly spawned, and I accidentally left the bracer sitting in the dye bath for fifteen minutes. 🤣

S’all good. The dye bath is very dilute, so by the time I remembered to take it out, it was a nice rich brown, and the sharpie outline was gone.

BUT there’s a reason why you don’t dye until after you’ve done your tooling -- because the leather isn’t dyed all the way through, and the undyed core will show when you start carving lines with your swivel knife:

S’okay! I knew that was going to happen, we can fix it in a later step. And even though it looked kinda funky, it hadn’t been sealed yet, just dyed, so it still behaved as veg-tan ought to, and took the stamping just fine:

And after applying antiqueing paste to it, and getting it into all the undyed crevices, it came out indistinguishable from a Link bracer that had been done correctly from the start:

TA DA! Happy ending. 😊

And then the costrel.

Yep, that’s right -- I fucked up on the very last step, let it overheat in the oven when I was melting the wax to make it waterproof, and it is now permanently ruined.

The melting point of beeswax is 140-150 F; the polymerization point of leather is around 200 F, which means that you’re walking a fine line between getting the wax hot enough to soak through, without overshooting and killing your leather. Because when leather polymerizes, it shrivels, and there is no fixing that, or ameliorating it, or walking it back.

(This is why I hate waxing -- because it’s the final thing you do to a project, and it runs the risk of destroying the whole thing. I know it would be less stressful if I were better at it, but waxing leather isn’t something I get a great deal of practice with, so I am behind the curve on this particular skill.)

My mistake here was not putting adequate padding between the costrel and the metal tray it was resting on -- I had put down a couple sheets of butcher paper, but what I should have done (wound up doing for the rest of it) was crumpling up some paper towels for it to rest on, to keep it elevated from touching the metal.

Live and learn. =/

I did go ahead and finish it, for the sake of getting more familiar with the process -- and the costrel did indeed turn out waterproof and completely functional. I’m just mad at myself for making a mistake that cost me a day and a half of work, and ruining a project that came out otherwise perfect.

MCU Opinions That’ll Have Me Burned At The Stake Pt. 1

(Because it actually worked out really well when I did this for Supernatural. BE WARNED: This is largely Loki-centric.)

1.) I feel like most of the movies/shows released in the last 5 or so years have been heavily geared toward casual fans. And I guess there’s nothing wrong with that! But for me it’s annoying as hell.

2.) I hate the MCU version of Wanda Maximoff so fucking much for many many different reasons.

3.) I have a very strong dislike for the MCU version of Steve Rogers for multiple reasons, mostly because of the level of American imperialist propaganda coded into his character.

4.) The movies’ version of Tony Stark is an objectively better person than Steve, and at this point I’m not even sure if Marvel made the billionaire the Big Hero intentionally as capitalist propaganda or if they just don’t see the irony.

5.) Nebula and Mantis are both way way underrated. They have such interesting backstories and are so sympathetic and likeable and it’s frankly a crime that there aren’t more people stanning for them.

6.) Thanos wasn’t as ground-breakingly complex and multi-layered as the critics and dudebros like to claim. All of his “emotional” scenes could arguably have been genuine in an extremely narcissistic and delusional way, but they’re diminished by the fact that there were a lot of villains prior to him that were much more psychologically complex and actually sympathetic to boot (which… he wasn’t).

7.) Thanos’s plan also made no sense at all, considering he claimed to seek balance in a twisted sense of duty- but said plan actually screwed everyone over worse and made resources issues even more detrimental. They should’ve just made him a full on genocidal psychopath or had him trying to court Hela. One of the two. I honestly think this was just the writers being short-sighted and lazy.

8.) Every version of Thor (and all his supporting characters as well) post-Age of Ultron is absolute trash. He’s a joke, he has zero emotional depth, he’s thematically shallow, he’s boring, he’s embarrassingly out of character…. Just, ugh.

9.) I hate Sylvie. Not just her relationship with Loki, I literally hate that her character even exists.

10.) Natasha deserved so much better than being reduced to a love interest in AoU. It wasn’t cute, it didn’t make sense at all, it wasn’t good for the story. She shouldn’t have had a romance subplot at all.

11.) I actually really liked Clint having a family and a farm. I think it really suited his character and added a little bit more depth to him.

12.) Team Tony made a couple mistakes in Civil War, but they were more or less in the right. And Team Cap was almost all the way in the wrong.

13.) Iron Man 2 wasn’t even that bad.

14.) Iron Man 3 is one of my favourite mcu films, everybody else simply lacks Taste.

15.) Sam deserves the shield way more than Steve, but I’m conflicted cause I don’t want him to be the symbol of pro-American propaganda :/.

16.) Bucky and Sarah are cute as hell together.

17.) Doctor Strange deserves way more credit and adoration, I mean mans puts up with some SHIT I tell you.

18.) Either Wanda is the most powerful sorcerer in the mcu and a total heartless piece of shit OR she’s a sympathetic victim possessed by the Darkhold to do awful things and isn’t really that powerful at all. You can’t have it both ways.

19.) Loki is ridiculously sympathetic and gets the shit end of the stick almost 100% of the time, but I’m pretty sure he agreed to work with Thanos of his own free will, before the sceptre had any influence on him. (Make no mistake, he was definitely mind controlled and tortured at some point afterwards, and that should be acknowledged, but like….. he’s not ENTIRELY without blame here, let’s be real. I think he got himself into a mess and then just couldn’t get out).

20.) Frigga is just as bad as Odin, let’s not kid ourselves. I actually can’t stand her.

21.) Thor never actually changed his bigoted war-mongering superiority-based mindset. He just decided that he likes humans, so they’re exempt from it.

22..) Harley Keener deserved to have just as big a role as Peter in Tony’s life.

23.) I don’t mind Vision, I think he’s a pleasant character. But his relationship with Wanda is the most mind-numbingly boring shit I’ve ever seen my GOD.

24.) Bruce was one of my favourite characters, specifically for his calm confidence. That all went out the window in Ragnarok. Ruined his character too.

25.) Taneleer Ativan, En Dwi Gast, etc (Celestials) should’ve been way more powerful than they were.

26.) Rocket is my favourite member of the Guardians. Peter Quill is boring and annoying and Gamora is more sympathetic but still not very interesting.

27.) There should’ve been less action and more time for them to all live in the avengers compound together like 2012 fanfic 2.0. I like the scenes that are fairly calm where they’re all interacting with each other as a group more than the fight scenes.

28.) LGBT representation in the mcu has been pathetic thus far, but I guess it’s like that in everything so..

29.) Ultron was a superb villain but everyone seems to think he’s mediocre. (Top 3 best mcu villains: 3-Ultron 2-Killmonger 1-Loki. Yes, Loki was a legit villain at one point, don’t @ me.)

30.) It’s the biggest crime in cinematic history that Loki never got to come full circle and fight side by side with the avengers. He literally didn’t even interact with them ever again after the invasion (except Bruce) and that’s just tragic. They were setting his storyline up for that! It was the perfect progression. But noooo.

#this is part 1 cause I actually haven’t watched any of these movies in years lmao #I’ll probably think of a lot more later #Loki #avengers #marvel #mcu #mcu wank #marvel criticism #unpopular opinion #hot take #anti stuff

💀🥘🕹️🎻🎒🔮 for don, dominic, pascal, and juliette :D

💀: Enemies or Rival

don: nobody, i don't think don is the type of sim that makes enmities, i mean maybe people who find out he had 218372 affairs while woohooing with them will hate him and consider him an enemy but he genuinely doesn't care

dominic: THE WATCHER and loki for being circe's husband

pascal: loki and circe for nervous reasons

juliette: nobody she doesn't care about the feud so she doesn't have enemies or rivals and yes i ignore that she consider bianca her enemy cause for me that never made sense???? she is literally dating romeo how is she going to care about the feud and have enmities with some monty

🥘: Favourite Food

don: he apparently has italian ancestry, according to the names of his parents and grandparents, so i think spaghetti and more home-cooked foods which he unfortunately hasn't eaten in a long time

dominic: lobster and other things rich villains would eat

pascal: anything jenny cooks cause i think she is a great cook and she learned everything she knows from kitty, so whenever pascal eats jenny's food he remembers his mother and his childhood<3

juliette: she loves isabella's baked alaska whenever isabella makes it, romeo keeps a piece and takes it to juliette secretly so they can eat together on some secret date

🕹️: Video Games they like or Play

don: idk he looks someone who likes to play fifa

dominic: he doesn't have time to play video games, his evil plans to control minds and beat the watcher waste all his free time

pascal: he likes old video games and games like zelda and mario and stuff but pascal's real passion is good old fashioned chess

juliette: THE OFFICIAL GAMER GIRL juliette definitely has a twitch stream channel and she plays overwatch and stuff that gamers play idk what im not a gamer but SHE IS a gamer it's her true hobby

🎻: Musical instrument

don: he plays acoustic guitar is something very seductive and turn on many sims i wish we have an acoustic guitar on ts2 i'll look for cc later

dominic: piano obviously a villain isn't a real villain if there isn't a piano in the living room

pascal: he's not very good with musical instruments

juliette: she looks like someone who participates in the school orchestra actually consort kind of forced the three siblings to participate in the orchestra so juliette plays the clarinet there

🎒: University Major

don: biology

dominic: biology

pascal: physics

juliette: maybe drama? or literature idk

🔮: Something Random

don: ummmm i have several things about don cause i like him a lot and i don't really like how people see him sometimes, i mean, everyone interprets him the way they want, but anyway, first about don x cassie, don genuinely likes cassie a lot and i like to think they met during college and that their story is genuine, like, no interest in the goths money, anyway, he likes cassie so much and thats why he broke off their engagement, cassandra is a family sim, she wants to get married and have her own family, but don isn't like that, and he couldn't make cassie happy, cause he wants to be free, he wants to have fun, meet new people etc but even though he is very smart (he is a doctor, and to study to be a doctor you have to be smart) he's kind of dumb when it comes to feelings so instead of ending the engagement in a civilized way he decided to do it right away and left cassie at the altar lmao oh and there is also that hc that don is a pediatrician who was circulating around these times i love this hc and i agree sm, don really likes children and if he is a father he will be a very nice father, even not living in the same house, he will do his best to be present in his child's life

dominic: i'll be honest with you i couldn't think of anything about dominic lmaoooo i think he's already a very developed character in his own and i really like him a lot but idk i couldn't think of anything lol im sorry

pascal: pascal is the best father in the world seriously if there was a competition between simnation's fathers pascal would definitely win and he always goes to all the parties, meetings etc that happen at tycho's school and he is super friendly with all the teachers and other parents and also with tycho's friends

juliette: for me shakespeare is something that actually exists in the sims universe and veronaville is kind of a funny coincidence but whenever juliette is with romeo she makes him swear they'll never fake their own death or anything like the original r+j did and end up dead just to be together and romeo always laughs about it

#this got long im sorry lmao #gaypleasantview #ask #ask game #hcs game #don lothario #dominic newlow #pascal curious #juliette capp

list of scenarios \ ✧ / accepting @benevolentgodloki sent: nude + defend

Carol was on a luxury liner touring a remote section of space, pretending to be… what had Loki called them? Sakaarian Delegates? Well in actual fact, Loki was pretending to be the delegate, while Carol was playing his companion.

It went without saying, she hated this plan. They’d bickered over numerous things, but in particular: the disguise, because Sakaar did not have delegates, in fact it didn’t have much of anything at the moment because while the Grandmaster had been overthrown, there were a dozen skirmishes happening for control. So who Loki was pretending to represent, was being strategically unsaid. He’d cleverly managed to avoid naming anyone, and she felt that many on this ship had their heads so far up their own asses that they didn’t know anything anyways.

Carol had hastily exited the grand hall when the opportunity arose. She didn’t care to be surrounded by people that on any ordinary day she’d be fighting. They’d tracked a particular arms dealer to the yacht, but hadn’t been able to locate him so far. And after hours of pretending to be refined, patient, and understanding to the plights of rich, idiotic dictators, she’d opted for a break.

If she had to hear ‘oh, she’s feisty!’ one more time she was going to blast a hole through the hull and let this nightmare cruise sink into the gas giant they were orbiting.

She was thankful to be back in their room, which was honestly nicer than whole planets she’d been on. It was fit for a king, everything was silver and gold, sparkling, encrusted with diamonds, silken sheets and there were about three serving bots that catered to the occupants' needs. Carol’s scowl, which was deep and showed her broiling frustration, wavered when she passed by the mirror. She paused.

She’d never been one for dresses, and when Loki had said she needed to wear one for this occasion she’d laughed. The tulle gown she wore was a shimmering, elegant deep blue piece that was so wholeheartedly out of character for her. Loki had conjured it… crafted it? Honestly, she hadn’t a clue where he’d gotten it from, but looking at herself now – it was beautiful.

She tilted her head as she regarded herself. Nope. She wanted it off. Whether it was magic, or real, or made of damn stardust, she didn’t care. Carol marched towards the bathroom with purpose. She’d get out of this ridiculous dress, and come up with another plan to catch this Houdini of a criminal.

Being out of the fancy garb, and awash with hot water, she began to feel closer to herself again.

“Excuse me,” a bot said, levitating near Carol, drawing her out of her idle thoughts. “But you have guests.”

She frowned, how long had she been in the shower? Did it mean Loki? “what?”

She barely heard the thwomp of the gun going off before a circular device struck her shoulder and unleashed a powerful shock through her body, causing her to stagger back. Carol glared towards the doorway, where a blue-skinned man wearing green armour, sporting the insignia of Starforce on his chest stood.

Carol dashed out of the shower, smashing a gleaming fist into his face. They skidded across the floor before she and her unconscious attack came to a stop–surrounded by Kree assassins.

Funny story, there wasn’t supposed to be a squadron of Kree in her quarters.

“Let me guess,” she quipped, “you’re here to talk to me about my car’s extended warranty?”

Apparently, they’d never heard that joke before. Or maybe they didn’t find her funny. Three more of those devices struck her, all unleashing deliberating pain through her body. She blasted two of the men, before she yanked one device from her skin and smacked it onto a soldier’s forehead, watching with smirk when that same horrible jolt coursed through him with a satisfying electrical buzzing. A golden radiance enveloped her, and her eyes turning white as she prepared to sunder the entire room--

Suddenly there were Lokis everywhere, and the soldiers were helpless as they began dropping like flies. They shot and swiped uselessly at the ones nearest to them, but found their attacks failing to strike. It took them a moment to realise that they were steadily being defeated, until the last collapsed to the floor with a dagger in his back.

There was that moment, brief as it was, that Carol forgot that she’d been attacked while decidedly unclothed and wet. The firefight had seen the lighting in the room destroyed, so the only illumination offered was Captain Marvel herself. She watched him, wondering why he hadn’t said something clever or snippy. He was just staring.

Realisation came to her, and dread rushed through her veins as the glow around her flickered out in embarrassment. Being buck ass nude in front of the God of Mischief was not part of this plan. A noise stuttered out of her which may have been the beginning of a sentence in hopes of saving whatever dignity she had—but then a deep green cloak was draped around her. Carol hastily grabbed hold of it and pulled it shut, a bashful, but utterly thankful smile managing to appear as she glanced at Loki, but was unable to hold his gaze.

“Thanks.”

#// carol: regjkerkgnerjgerg #// that's her whole thought process XD #✭ // state-of-the-art two-way pager (answered)#benevolentgodloki #✯ // loki | benevolentgodloki

Thor: Love, Death, and Beach Volleyball

Gather round, everyone! I'm going to share with y'all a tale of adventure, love, faith, and vengeance.

Our story begins with a god named Rapu. I'm not sure what kind of powers Rapu possesses. He seemed to have created small plant-like creatures to adore him, tell him how awesome everything he does is, laugh at his jokes, cook and clean for him... and he was probably banging them - so... they're like groupies, which makes him like a diva.

While I don't know how to rank his power levels (he's mentioned as not being that powerful) I do know that he was powerful enough to kill an intruder who wielded a murderous item called "The Necrosword" (a sword that can kill gods). Someone apparently did not like something that Rapu had done or said, so for his own ego's sake, he did away with this nuisance - kinda a diva would.

Rapu and his plant-based groupies were celebrating the Diva god's triumph, when in walks Gorr (played by Christian Bale).

Gorr had been a faithful worshipper of Rapu. He had posters of him all around the walls of his home. He had all of his records, and memorized all of his lyrics. He went to every show to get his worship on, but him and the rest of the worshipers (including his daughter) fell on hard times. He believed in Rapu to save them (that's kinda on him though, right?? Know your god. I mean, if i were to faithfully serve Loki, god of mischief and trickery,

and it turns out that Loki is actually a lying piece of shit.... that's kinda on me).

Not only had Rapu not had any intentions of saving them, but Gorr, his daughter, and his people were a joke to him.

Turns out Gorr's daughter, whom Rapu could have saved, died. And Rapu laughs in Gorr's face.

Rapu was like "Hey, thems the breaks."

Apparently, the weapons of space (and the realms of the gods) are kind of alive, and this Necrosword was no different. It sensed Gorr's hurt, and called out to him, and just like that - Marvel's new batch of merch was produced.

Gorr the God Butcher!

In one scene, Gorr goes from pure-hearted worshiper of the diva god to a racist intergalactic serial killer. His goal is to destroy (and butcher, i suppose) ALL gods. They all must be bad!

This is a problem.

BUT, with problems, come heroes:

We've got Thor (Chris Hemsworth)

, the muscle and the looks.

Just look at him - the god of turning you on

Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson),

the heart of the team and all sober... ish, apparently... well, she def drinks a lot less here than she used to.... and I don't like it. She was mainly defined by her alcoholism in Thor 3. If an alcoholic isn't drinking, who are they? It's like if Kanye West all of a sudden quit rapping about getting money and booty, and started making gospel music, and having "Sunday Services". What the hell, right?? Who are you??

That being said, go A. A. :)

Jane Foster (the great Natalie Portman),

the brains and somehow holds the power of Thor now.

And Korg, the comic relief.

They must band together to stop Gorr the Racist

(some of y'all might be saying "Praphit, quit calling him racist. They're gods after all, and a lot of these gods that I've seen are shitty. They look suspicious. I don’t like their music, and honestly, I wouldn't want my children anywhere near them."

Hmmm, y'all who are thinking that.... I've got my eye on you).

As I was saying, Gorr the racist god butcher was out there playing his own version of Pokemon ' "Gotta Kill'em all!"

There were many CG battles:

Aliens, shadow creatures, Russell Crowe.

He was playing Zeus, so not just Russell Crowe; although that would have been pretty cool - Team Thor, battling Russell Crowe as he plays himself.

They tried to stab Gorr, reason with Gorr, shame Gorr, they even tried to cancel Gorr. But, someone comfortable with being called Gorr the racist god butcher, doesn't care about cancellation.

Cuz you see, it's not just about revenge, but it's about love.

There's a lot of love in the air:

Thor and Jane Foster, Thor and Stormbreaker (his axe), Thor and Mjolnir (his hammer), Thor and Starlord (his bromance)

- Thor has a lot of love to give. It’s hard being this hot.

(... "turning you on": )

But, also Gorr and his daughter. This is no simple villain, who just needs a spanking.

This is no crazed villain, who just wants to watch the world burn.

This is a father who deeply loved his daughter, and that was taken away. And the god he believed in let him down.

When you've played as many psychopaths as Christian Bale has, and your love is snatched away, and some demonic swords calls out to you like a mistress in the night, while your wife is away, and definitely has Hepatitis B... then how can you NOT go on a murderous, racist rampage??

A lot of battles! A lot of love! A lot of fun!

Then a lot of death and sadness!

Back to love! and Space Traveling quirkiness!

Then, back to darkness, sickness, and death!

More love! and power! and Thorness!

Annnnnd back to... you get the point, and then this exciting ride crash lands into an ending of "what?"

The root flaw in the movie is that there's not enough time to do what they're trying to do. There's a lot of story to tell (especially about Gorr). It doesn't feel rushed , but more like some pertinent details are taken out. Some of the comedic edits are awkward, cuz you've gotta hurry up and get back to the genocide. And some of the thrills are deluded by down right silliness.

It's the opposite of the new Avatar that’s coming - about to tell us a long story (sequel) that we did not ask for.

"Thor: Love and Thunder" is a story that Marvel fans really want to hear, but all of the cuts and edits make it lesser than it could have been.

Grade: B-

Don't get the wrong idea, I really enjoyed this movie! I've heard some of the critics, and I believe that those critics are being kinda spoiled here. It's fun! Would I watch it again?? - absolutely!

Did it need to be made? - meh.

Great actors in this though:

Bale, Portman (two of my favs)... even Thompson and Hemsworth in their own lanes are really good. And frickin Russell Crowe! Think about all of that talent on one project!

Let's say someone created a time machine for you to go back and meet the greatest minds and talents the world has known:

You get Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr, Socrates, Sojourner Truth, Prince, George Carlin, Joplin, Marley, Betty White, Ronald McDonald etc etc

- and all you do with them is play beach volleyball, and send them back to their times.

You had a fun experience playing beach volleyball with them! You'll remember it for years to come, but... in retrospect, you think to yourself "Should I have done more?"

YOU ARE BUILDING A LIFE SIZED SLEIGH????? girl WHAT??? AND NINE (9) N-I-N-E???? REINDEER??? That is absolutely batshit crazy I love it. Are you doing it by yourself? What is the competition for? Were you told to do the sleigh and reindeer specifically or were you like “imma show everyone up by doing the ABSOLUTE MOST.” (In the best possible way ofc lol) Ok for some background info I’m an extremely artsy person and is known for doing the most when it comes to my projects. There’s a TikTok that basically goes “Unlike others, my homosexual audacity makes me believe that I have all the nesceceary skills to accomplish whatever even though I have no prior knowledge in that area.” Which basically describes me to a T. Like if I have an idea I try to do whatever I can to produce that idea. I literally just finished a Medusa head. A fully gold, clay snake-d, clay covered styrofoam head. It’s magnificent…. But it almost made me lose my shit. It was supposed to be and interactive piece but the weight of it was too heavy (despite my homosexual audicty I also have ADHD and anxiety which means I need to get everything I can fit this project done NOW. Screw waiting! Screw planning! Therefore I didn’t take into account the amount of weight it would end up being and how hard it would be to keep it hanging smh) I also had a due date for it that absolutely did not help but whatever. It’s done, and it looks pretty badass if I do say so myself. That being said, I’m really excited to hear more about the sleigh and reindeer. ALSO MOMO LOOKS SO CUTE SITTING ON THE SLEIGH???? SHES SANTAS LITTLE HELPER 🥺🥺🥺

Aria isn’t that photogenic, she usually ends up rubbing her face against the camera or worse- her butt. That was just a lucky shot. I snatched Loki to cuddle with me and he actually did for once???? He usually gets bored and walks away smh. But then he was a really cuddly baby and I was NOT gonna let the opportunity slip away.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS IN MY WRITTING!!!!! they really made my day! I really kept pushing myself to keep going even when I doubted myself. I read online a quote from a famous author (Idr which one lol) that said when writting, consistency is key, even when writting in small amounts. 200 words a day. It adds up. So I always tried to write 200 words a day and would praise myself if I wrote anything considerably more. It’s a pretty good system to be honest, bc then I don’t berate myself for not writing as much as I want myself too.

When It comes to the yams fic it originally came from one of my first Haikyuu fic ideas, which was kind of a reverse harem thing? IDK IF THATS THE RIGHG WORD SKSHJS. like kinda a chose your our adventure/route kind of thing and it would be with several different characters. The idea changed a lot, like for example the love interests you could chose from at the end would be (at some point of my brainstorming process) ALL of the first year boys from Karasuno, Noya and Suga, then Oikawa, Kuroo AND kenma. I limited it down to Tsukki, yams, hinata, (or) noya, (Idr which one) suga and Oikawa after. Basically all the Karasuno first year boys but Kageyama. I don’t think you’ll ever catch me writing for kageyama tbh. He’s very one track minded and I don’t think I’d get his personality right.

Tbh it wasn’t TOO far out there, even with the crazy cast of characters and I really liked some parts of the story idea! but I feel like a lot of the parts between those parts would feel forced or rushed. Like for example, i feel like it was very Oikawa and Tsukishima heavy (which is weird bc they are total opposites) so you could see MC’s and their relationship grow, where all the other boys relationship would feel awkward and out of place. I also feel like when stories have so many routes and options in love it takes away the feelings and what makes a good relationship for the characters, whether it be platonic or romantic in the end. Writting all that down is making me kinda miss the idea LMAO. IT WAS SO CUTE! but I know it isn’t meant to be. Even after deciding against the idea of this massive size I kept a lot of the ideas for it. Again this fic idea came right after watching haikyuu for the first time and I feel like it was my brain trying to fit in as many scenerios and stuff at once into one timeline. After watching more of it and learning more about the individual characters I was able to seperate some of these story ideas and flesh them out. Now would they ever reach any the point where they hit paper (or in my case, a fresh google doc? )That’s another question entirely

The Yams fic originally came from a scene (lmao a deleted scene ig) bASED ON MY INSECURITY. ABOUT MY FRECKLES. *gasp, I know* ok tbh my freckles are a lot different I have them spread out everywhere on my body, including my face. They always kind of annoyed me since they are just kinda randomly dotted on my face, and aren’t big enough (or enough in general) to look like constilations. They aren’t even noticeable enough for anyone to notice but me. Except the marylin Monroe mark right above my lip. I had that one all my life. But still, they annoy me. And like right after I started working on the fic, MORE STARTED APPEARING? LIKE HOW???? ITS WINTER! ITS NOT LIKE THE SUN IS GIVING KE MARKS OR ANYTHING? sigh. But anyway, the scene was supposed to have MC complaining about their freckles, which makes yams want to talk about how he hates his freckles until they say how their freckles aren’t even cute, like his are. idk it was a cute little thing based off my Insecurities. After I scraped the whole thing, along with the little scene I just mentioned, years later I read a Haikyuu or BNHA (I can’t remember which one) scenario where the boys compliment the MCs freckles, which turn out to just be acne. Then VOILÀ! The idea returned! This time new and updated! It was originally NOT supposed to so long or emotional. I just REALLY got into his character and fleshed it out a LOT. It was supposed to be a quick kind of thing, where yams gets embarrassed and flushed, then teased. All that cutesy stuff, but ik that yams has been struggling with his insecurities about his freckles for a long time, and insecurities like those don’t just go away. It’s not always something you can laugh about later. Sometimes the scabs from others words and your own thoughts don’t heal over, and with enough force, they can be picked off to show a fresh wound, like the pain never left. I know what it’s like to have severe anxiety and let small things tumble and grow into something incomprehensible. I know what it’s like to be stuck in your own head and I really wanted to show that. I’m really happy that you could feel his worries through my writing cuz that is 100% what I was aiming for. I hope others who can identity to yams in any way can see themselves in it too.

I might take you up on beta reading one day, when I get a discord. I think I had an account, maybe at some point? But I honestly have no idea how to use it. But I love how you took your psych major daydreams and put them to paper (figuratively, again) by writing haikyuu scenerios and headcannons. Putting your major to good use I see kksjkdkdk 😂. Before I started putting work on tumblr I was super scared about how people would react andd more importantly, how I would react to others reading my work and interacting with it. But tbh, I don’t really care that much? Like it’s weird, I thought I’d be obsessing over it but it’s kinda a background thought. Like it makes me happy when I see people interacting with it and I wish sometimes I cold have more validation in that aspect sometimes but it’s not a NEED. Now it makes me wonder if I should’ve started a fanfic acc before, or if I should be glad I did it now instead of before when I possibly could have let it take over me. Now I just worry about consistency- in posting that it’s.

Which leads me to another question. How do you differentiate between your different blogs? I know you have like two or three, but how do you decide what to put on you personal vs fanfic account? What to reblog on which ones? Bc I know even though I’m writing everyday, I’m not putting out work everyday so my fanfic account kinda sits vacant from time to time, where my main gets daily action (man when I put it that way it seems like my fanfic account is my side chick or something LMAO)

I LOVE HOW YOU JUST LEFT THE CLASS AFTER THEY TRIED PRESSURING YOU LMAO!! Like “oh one sec, I’ll be right back” *narrator voice* “And pea did. not, in fact be right back. She walked straight out the door, and kept walking. And walking. Till she got home. The end.” KAHSAJSJS. iconic. AND I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE BREAKING UP WITH YOUR BF! NOT GF!! There could have been a possibility you said “partner” and I assumed boyfriend, BIT EITHER WAY, I FEEL HOMOPHOBIC IM SO SORRY! but I’m glad you broke up! Like in the nicest way possible!! Dragging out relationships when there’s no spark is just trouble for EVERYONE. like idk why straight people insist on doing it for sooooo long. Like I understand it’s hard, and they are probably quite comfy and change can be difficult for everyone, but there has to be a point where you know that things aren’t gonna fix themselves? Like why wait till everything blows up instead of breaking things off like grown ass adults, not teens in some over dramatic coming of age movie? I can’t stand how in tv shows the standard husband and wife absolutely hate each other. Because it’s supposed to reflect real life (at least in America) where spouses are supposed to fall in love, get married, have kids, then fall apart. LIKE IF YOU CANT EVEN STAND TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THEM WITHOUT WANTING TO SPEW VERBAL ABUSE WHY CANT YALL GET A DIVORCE??? like I know it’s long process and shit, bit damn, anything is better than that sheesh. And people wonder why whenever someone dies they look at their spouse first smh.

Bruh those beauty standards sound like they are describing an anime character LMAO. That shit ain’t realistic! It’s so wild to hear that your aunt told you not to play too much bc you get “MAN LIKE MUSCLES???” WTF WHO SAYS THAT TO A CHILD? Good for your mom telling you otherwise.

So about the murder house at the college… I don’t go there so I wouldn’t know for sure, but it seems like no one really knows? Or cares? I mean the hs I went to being right next to it never really mentioned it and you’d think that a murder house would cause gossip yknow? I’m pretty sure it happened 20+ years ago so anyone alive during that time wouldn’t be attending the school really, or they would’ve been like infants. GIRL WHAT THE FUCK??? YOUR CREEPY DEATH TUNNEL STORY OUTWEIGHS THE CREEPY OLD MURDER HOUSE THATS NOW USED FOR ADMIN REASONS? I think it’s fucjing insane how horrible things happened and you wouldn’t even know. Whether it’s the murders in my picket fence town or the death tunnels at your Uni. Really shows you how important history books are, huh.

Tbh, when it comes to my cupcake disaster I wasn’t even that late? I thought I’d be though lol. And omg, Asian schools sound fucjing terrifying. They sound so strict and prestigious and very stressful. I don’t think my anxious ass could have handled it. Also, don’t worry you are probably way better at math than I am. All throughout my life I’ve been horrible at math, the only time I wasn’t when I was in like preschool and was excited to learn LMAO. I can’t even count how many time math has made me cry thought just the ages of like 6-18. It’s pathetic, actually.

About genshin, my bestie and tell each other everything, especially the fictional characters we simp for. She’s a big childe simp. I remember one time she told me she was talking to her friend and was like “I wanna see childe naked.” (Joking, but not yknow LMAO) and her friend was like “pedophilia????” SKaksbdjka bUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT. I send her all the pics and memes of childe and some of her other fav fictional men and she send me memes of Kuroo and bokuto LMAO. Some of our convos are WILD. Like they can go from “that’s where my trauma comes from” to “hahah GAE” in the same convo.

Like 2 weeks ago we had this convo

Me: girl I have some bad news

Her: oh no

Me: I have another fanfic idea

Her: oh no

What’s it about?

THEN I JUST DUMP EVERYTHING I HAVE IN THAT IDEA AND SHES LIKE “mood” “gay” “damn” “just like me fr” SKSHAJWH I can’t stand her sometimes. She also calls me out when some parts of the stories are familar to my other ideas (they often build off of each other since 90% of them don’t leave the drafting board of my head. She’s like “new challenge, an MC WITHOUT trauma, where the MCs parents are completely alive and well.” And I’m like 😤 “but that’s no fun!” KEBDKSJSKSB

BUT SPEAKING OF NEW STORY

Ok well technically this is an older one that’s been sitting in my head for a while. I have a really good idea for a hawks series (from BNHA). I probably will never write all of it but the begining is super solid so I might just start from there. BUT! I’m afraid this will completely divert me from my bokuto fic. I think I’m a little over half way done with it but idk my writing can get out of hand. Currently, it is 6,301 words long. The final number should probably be over 8,000 words long, but we will seee

I LOVE YOUR NEW STICKERS! I love how you made the present day(? Technically it’s not present day, but yknow what I mean) and the time skip versions!! AND I LOVE THE EMO MODE BOKUTO!!!! SO CUTE!!! THEY LOOK SO GOOD!!!

ALSO I SHOWED BESTIE THE PHOTOS OF YOUR GENSHIN STICKERS! after I showed her what I said about genshin she said: “GIRL i’m surprised you know so much but at the same time i can imagine considering how much i talked about them lmaooo”

SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHEN YOU START YOUR BUISNESS SO SHE CAN BUT ONE! AND MEE TOO!! but I’m not sure if that possible since international shipping can be a bitch. BUT WE WILL SUPPORT IN SPIRIT!

I look forward to seeing your sticker buisness grow and I’m excited to see how the sleigh looks when it’s finished! Keep me updated!!! Bonus cat pics for you!

i did!! i'll attach the photos below so it wouldn't get in the way with the texts. actually it was like a community competition idk to build camaraderie among neighborhoods so when the adults were brainstorming for an idea i suggested a santa's factory theme and they were like yeahhh that's nice but it would be much cooler if have santa and his reindeer pulling his sleigh and when everyone's asking if anyone could do it NO ONE WAS ANSWERING. so a thing about me in groupworks is when the group grows silent and no one feels confident to try, i dive in head first (as long as i can pull off the task. besides, i want to give it a try too lol. i love creating things) so i volunteered and my mom was supportive of it, actually the entire neighborhood is. i sent them progress pictures and they liked it so much so they encourage me throughout the tedious task and that kept me going. btw that sleigh can fit 2 toddlers i know because i have 2 toddler nephew and niece and they can sit on it side by side lol. anyway, it's purely made from recycled materials :D DAMN your medusa craft sounds amazing!!! omg do you have a photo of it i wanna seee omg!! so we do have smth in common! we love creating things and when we get into the zone we do it with 100% focus

ohhh i like the idea of the reversed harem but just as you said it might be difficult to pull off since there may be characters that are less emphasized than the others so it will be oikawa or tsukishima heavy. that's why it is not recommended to write for many characters because it will be hard to give them the their own spotlight and it will turn out messy and may even risk the plot. if i'm not wrong the maximum characters (major characters) you can write for is 5 but ideally 3 is okay. i tried that tho with my halloween interactive fic (which i have not written for in SO LONG lol i'll get to that) so i tried to incorporate all the characters i could write for in haikyuu but i didn't give them a spotlight. i picked a few to give an elaborate background of, then they others were minor characters. i feel like i'm giving an unsolicited advice 💀 i'm not the best person to give you it but i'm glad i could discuss things related to writing to someone. maybe you can push through with the story idea but pick maybe 3-4 characters you want to focus on and others are minor characters.

about the yams story!! tbh i couldn't relate to the freckles thing but they remind me of my tiny moles 💀 i have them all over my body and even on my face. in our culture it could be seen as a beauty mark but i just couldnt love the one above my mouth (tho it gets complimented by my friends, i just couldnt) but i have fondness for freckles (ironic i know) i find them cute as it somehow adds softness to the person's features hence when i was reading your message i was like "NO WAYYY FRECKLES ARE ADORABLE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!! I LOVE THEM." but then it reminds me of my tiny moles and i just 🧍🏻‍♀️ lol maybe it's human's nature to love what they don't have and dislike what they have. so even though i do not have freckles, with the emotions and realness of the characters' conflict in your yam's fic i was able to connect/relate to it. keep writing!! :)

yess!! i'm omg i would love to try beta reading heh if i reply late (i always do anyway 😭) send me an ask of your discord name so i can add you immediately and get on w the writing!! aaahh i'm excited hihi yeah!! my major actually contributes a lot to my writing lol. talk about consistency ahhh it's harder to be consistency esp when you're busy (me 💀) about the 2-3 blogs, this (main) blog is purely for fluff fanfics or fics rated general since i started this blog i never intended to write nsfw since i'm more of a fluff writer but since i'm trying to explore more writing styles i opened a nsfw blog. that's my most recent blog and i only have one fic posted there lol i find it difficult to whip a nsfw blog since i don't think that's my strength lol and the personal blog that's where i rb art, fics, post shits (personal shits), and other things lol it's like a dump account honestly. i created a personal account mainly because i didn't want my main blog to appear messy for the readers if ever they want to check my blog. i do post personal things on my main blog but only that is not too personal? or i think is interesting for many to know smth like. it actually depends on my mood whether i'm comfortable to have many people read about what's going on with my personal life aka my childhood enemy who turned hot but my college struggles that gave me anxiety that's kept on my personal blog bc it has less followers and all of them are my mutuals here sooooo heh are you thinking of running more blogs?

it's fine!! it's okay if you thought of a bf instead of a gf lol no worries. omg thank you for congratulating me on breaking up bc i'm proud i did it. breaking up ia tough because it means hurting the person close to you but yeah we have the same idea, i think it's pointless to pretend in a relationship that you are not into. it's like you're wasting you and your partner's time and i don't think anyone deserves to be treated half of how they treat someone they like. i'm kind proud i was able to do it. it is hard lol 💀 but i'm happier now. YEAH i want a more diverse family on shows. single parents, homosexual parents, found family, etc.

i could tell you more stories about the crazy place my uni sits in if i remember them lmao but overall i like experiecing creepy stuff thus the death tunnel thing. my college friends and i are amused by creepy things 💀

if i think of it now... ASIAN SCHOOL DID GIVE ME ANXIETY AND NOT ONLY ANXIETY, LOW SELF ESTEEM TOO WTH dude i think they have a kink for making you feel dumb. i mean, a competitive environment is good but when opportunity to grow is limited, it only gives the students anxiety. i remember having a private tutor until before 7th grade but beginning 7th grade was also the start of my summer classes in math (I AM BAD AT IT I SWEAR I CRY TOO LOL i never aimed to be the best i was okay being average and when i get an above average score at a test I AM OVER THE MOON) and on my senior yr in hs i attended a cram school (i think that's what it is commonly called) it's to review you for college entrace exams because the results is revealed nationwide (more anxiety, everyone knows your taking it ha ha) and it's almost a must for us to pursue a college degree otherwise the elders will think of it as a waste if you don't(?) smth like that so yeah after school and classes i attend cram school where we review lessons from 7th grade to senior hs and we answer tests EVERY MEETING so yeah that burnt me out.

the beauty standard iS THE ANIME. the standard is skinny women with humongous boobs like bruh that aint even possible without an implant like how could all fats be isolated on someones chest and not on other parts of their body that's like basic science THEY MAKE US STUDY SCIENCE SAYING IT'S IMPORTANT BUT MEN HAVE UNREALISTIC HUMAN ANATOMY STANDARDS LIKE WTF now that we're on this topic, i realized i have not adhered to the crazy body standards we have (ofc i used to but that was younger me feeling pressured and all it wasn't a good year in my life but yeah) like tatts and piercings are a taboo and more so if you're a woman and here i am with 7 piercings and planning a tatt. they want petite body and big boobs? you know what? *points at my stomach* this is a flab *points at my boobs* and my tits are small HAVE FUN LMAO i don't think i'm the type to go by the rules or at least the strict standards set by society bc i feel chained. even when my aunt told me to stop engaging in activities that would make me grow man muscles, i'm lifting weights now 😭 idk man i feel like the more i feel boxed in a set of ridiculous rules the more i'm prone to breakaway lol. anyway thats just a quick rant 💀

OMG YOUR FRIEND SOUNDS AWESOME i feel like i can vibe with herrr and that she is a childe simp bRUHHH SHE IS FUN btw the childe naked thing had me chuckling lmaooo that was so out of context and it does sound weird for outaiders bUT DAMNNNN CHILDEEEEE UGH IM SIMPIMG i ship him with zhongli does your friend ship them? i. need. to. know. and!! cynari please kaveh and alhaitham too GOD MYVE Y SHOULD PLAY SO WE CAN SCREAM no pressure BUT !!!!
