You asked me my fave ASOIAF ships so it’s only right that I ask u what yours are 🫶🫶

oh honey you got a big storm comin 😈

SLAY TIER GOD TIER S TIER GOAT TIER

JAIME/BRIENNE: god it's just so. like its truly insane. they are beauty and the beast but there's LAYERS like ok first look. oh she's a girl and he's a boy so she's beauty and he's the beast. but jaime is so sexyhot and brienne is ugly so he's the beauty and she's the beast. oh but she's brienne the beauty and he's a lannister lion. oh but she's the only kind and good and pure soul in the world and her eyes are so, so beautiful and jaime is so horrible and destroyed inside and out and he's so cruel but he doesn't want to be but he does. AND he dreams of fighting alongside her nude like ok RRRING RRING um hi freud i gotta crazy guy for you to psychoanalyse yeah he's got daddy AND mommy AND sibling issues and he’s a little gay with it.

THEON/ROBB: look ok. coming out as a robb neutral. THATS KIND OF A LIE look i love robb he's just a boy he's forced into the meat grinder he's hamlet he's doomed i love that that's so fun. but i'm not one of those people who's like WE NEED A ROBB POV or like mad he died. i'm a theongirl first and foremost and the way i love throbb is through the lens of theon my traumatised horrible catboy.

RHAENYRA/ALICENT: god what can be said that hasn’t. vicious lesbian divorce. psychosexual incestuous passive aggressive actually aggressive love hate inner child growing old always on their mind everything is about the other constrained by patriarchy doing patriarchy but in a way that benefits you. and she’s her stepmother.

FUN TIER

JONSATIN: yeah yeah its a bit of a yaoi ship i know i know. mostly i like it cos it gives satin something to do LMAO i really like him so i have to give him personality and wants and a backstory and jon is a great puppet for that. on jon’s side honestly satin is like the nicest choice for him everyone else has so much baggage...

LORENLY: its like canon i like it. i like the doom and tragedy i like how renly is a fun guy and loras is such a cunt.

DAENSA: i think they would be a nice couple :) i think they would be good for each other. nice fluffy ship, very sweet. lemontreecakes forever!!

SANSAERY: its like what if regina george and cady heron were lesbians. i love manipulative bitch margaery whos like shit she’s genuinely nice and pure and cute goddamnit. and sansa who has to slowly realise she’s being used but that even though their relationship is kinda fucked up it IS complex. also really funny that she was comphet for marge’s gay brother.

GENDRYA: she’s 9 so im like meh on it but its very sweet. the living-vicariously-through-your-children marriage robert wanted with sansa and joffrey. well actually its the genderfreak lyanna clone and anarchist robert clone.

STAVOS and MELYSE: idk melisandre and selyse’s ship name. i could be serious about it but it’s just funny to me. you can still fuck even when youre at the rotting decrepit old age of 34 and you once cut off your domestic partner’s fingers

HONOURARY MENTIONS

JonValJon: i dont like ValJon because it so often negates val’s character and her wants and desires also jon is 15 and val is like clearly an adult woman but the name is really funny i like les mis eh heh heh

Theonsa: i like show theonsa i think its sweet. book theonsa i dont like because shes a lesbian.

Brienne/Sansa and Brienne/Margaery: show only. its cute and brienne x margaery is kinda hot ngl. also Brienne/Cersei that’s also hot. sorry im gay.

Alright, finished Yu Wu, so now we have our character breakdowns!

Our Main Cast:

Murong Lian: I am so serious when I say that a sad (not even tragic, just fucking “sucks I guess, dude” sad!) backstory and working with the MCs towards a mutually beneficial goal IS NOT A REDEMPTION ARC.

Yue Chenqing: a lesson in why ignorance is NOT bliss and you should NOT blindly follow whatever your elders say. (Especially if your “respectable elder” is a known rapist with children he don’t even know about under his own roof falling in love with each other 😬). I expected that he’d experience some traumatic bullshit, but holy shit?

Jiang Yexue: I knew there was something off about him, but holy shit????? Hope he rots in hell, but also, he was obviously tainted by that dark cultivation he took in to save his brother’s life, so maybe the real villain who needs to rot in hell is their rapist daddy 💁🏽‍♀️

Murong Chuyi: I knew he liked Yue Chenqing deep down and that something must have happened to make him turn on Jiang Yexue, but holy shit???? Anyways, hope he gets to beat that fool’s AND his rapist daddy’s asses in the afterlife before reincarnating into the most peaceful next life. (On another note, wtf is up with meatbun and jumping into blood pools????)

The emperor: I CALLED IT! A MOTHERFUCKING SNAKE AND A COWARD 🗣🗣🗣 IF YOU TRUSTED HIM AT ANY POINT, DON’T TALK TO ME 🗣🗣🗣

Guoshi of Liao/Hua Po’an: everyone is afraid of this super ultra powerful, seemingly invincible guoshi and ain’t none of y’all stopped to think, “wow, this is suspicious; wonder if that one villain IN ALL OUR STORIES maybe didn’t die, especially since we keep seeing hints that the one who “killed” him and died with him is ALSO not dead!” What foolishness… Anyways, man had plans on plans and still couldn’t predict human kindness, what a tool lmao

Princess Mengze: everyone was playing 3D chess with politics but bitch was on 4D; I was shook 😳

Gu Mang: MY BOY! Wwx if he was written into a trauma porn novel. Stuck. To. His. Convictions!!! Every reveal of his was a whammy on top of a whammy 😭😭😭 Thought he was out here being Naruto-level foolish without the protagonist halo, but he was really out here playing 4D chess on human morality with the best of them! GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS 💐 💐💐

Mo Xi: love how he loves Gu Mang. Hate how goddamn naive he is. At some points, instead of feeling emotionally overwhelmed, I was just getting secondhand embarrassment. Would obviously NOT survive a political intrigue novel.

Honorable mentions:

Lu Zhanxing: his death fucking suuuuuucked, but he was a real one.

Li Wei: standing up to the emperor’s men to protect your lord, LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO

Lan’er (Changfeng-jun’s daughter): they didn’t have to do her like that… (also, is she still alive???? We just kinda drop her and never check back in????)

Madam Jiang/Su Yurou: wish I could be this unbothered in the face of conflict, while having the balls to defy the most terrifying not-quite-human in the known world 😭 glad she survived 💙

Jiang Fuli: fuck, I’m glad HE survived! He deserves it!

Hong Shao: she walked into death bravely and heartbrokenly, and I wish she didn’t have to. I hope she and Li Qingqian reincarnate into a better life where they grow to be the old man and hag together, like she dreamed…

Li Qingqian: the way he found out that in attempting to save Hong Shao, he had actually killed his love AND that her murderer “was” the man who saved him? I’m glad Su Yurou got to tell him the truth, and I hope he was able to reunite with Hong Shao in the afterlife

#yu wu #yuwu spoilers #human reads yuwu #i think this is everyone #I’ll come back if i remember someone i care about #but the thing about this book is that while there seems to be a lot of characters #there aren’t actually?#or many aren’t that important anyway

3, 5, 6, 7, 13, 17, 25, 26, 28, 30!!!!!!!!!! or as many as you want i just realized this is a lot of numbers!!!!!!!

3 Biggest self-insert OC?

definitely wes, it's not even a competition. sometimes self insert next gen au ocs for your favorite media can be something soo important to a teenager coping with untreated mental illness. but i also think i project at least a little onto every oc i make. i just think embuing the little guys that live in my head with a bit of my soul makes them more fun, sue me

5 What are some of your OCs biggest fears?

this is a hard question!! i think my ocs are consistently coping with the fear of being unlovable and alone. but also my ocs are very often super afraid of heights, which is definitely projection. wes is afraid of sharks and the ocean in general! that kid grew up near gotham harbor and you wouldn't trust large bodies of water if you'd grown up near that shit either!

6 Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?

yeah! i have shelves full of ocs that i made in a blind haze and now they sit and collect dust in the broom closet of my mind. and honestly? who knows, but probably not. a bitch can barely write fanfic, not to mention a competent original story

7 What are your favourite relationships between your OCs? (romantic or platonic!)

my favorite relationships are always familial!!! i fucking,,,, LOVE exploring family dynamics in fiction i'm so normal about it. it's why peisistratus has basically the same amount of interaction with his brothers as he does with telemachus in bbyhr (and i think i should get to count AT LEAST echephron as an oc because i showed that man more love that homer ever dreamed of). but!! i had a superhero oc named jaime and their relationship with their dad (xander) was really fun to mess around with! the aforementioned wes has relationships with a lot of canon characters and their relationship with dick is sooo fun to think about (good relationship dynamic to squirm to, even).

i also really like really close friendships! like the kind where two characters just exist as their entire messy selves around each other because they're so close that it doesn't matter. wes was good friends with the xander i mentioned earlier and their dynamic was Ride Or Die, but then when they fought they were absolutely brutal to each other. very sibling-like ig lol

13 Which story has the most lore?

LISTEN i also don't do lore because i'm not a nerd. but if i did lore, it'd be the story that wes comes from. it was technically a dc related universe? i think it could generously be called an au, but it got so out of hand we ended up calling it the councilverse. it had enough of its own lore to justify being a whole ass other world. there were gods and sirens that had insane and deep lore completely unrelated to dc comics. not to mention!!! all the backstory for all the characters (i could not come close to giving an exhaustive list of all the characters. by the end of it there were roughly three or four generations, and three alternate universes within this one overarching concept of the councilverse. she was,,,, messy)

17 What are some tropes and character dynamics found in your wips?

most common character dynamic has to be Messy Family Dynamics. from parental issues to weird estranged siblings vibes, i simply cannot be stopped. swallows in the windless field is playing up the menoetius and patroclus drama, and braved by your hearts resolve is just a love letter to daddy issues lmao. i think i'm a big fan of slowburn tropes like yearning and obliviousness. and the power of friendship? is a trope you'll have to pry from my cold dead hands

25 What’s your favourite genre to write? Is it also your favourite genre to read?

lately i've been REALLY into writing historical fiction. i've enjoyed all the research i've gotten to do for bbyhr. but i also enjoy writing fantasy stuff maybe more! fantasy is by far my favorite thing to read, but i can be picky about historical fiction stuff. i also really like reading superhero stuff, but writing it makes me nervous (i do it for myself but idk that i'd ever publish it for fear of it not being that good and also for fear of dc comics fans [source: i am one and they are scary])

26 What are your favourite books?

i mean,,, i OBVIOUSLY have an unhealthy fixation on the odyssey and the iliad. so, ya know. we are the ants is a book that had a huge impact on me when it came out, it's kinda sci-fi ish but very fun! and i do, i think technically, have to give credit to the song of achilles and circe for being as formative as they were.

i've also been reading A LOT of comics lately because i realized you can get that shit for free on the internet (pls pls pls don't ask why it took 20+ years for me to figure this out i'm just an incredibly lil guy with not a very big brain). so i've recently revisited the red hood and arsenal run that rewrote my brain chemistry as a teenager. but also favorite comics could be a whole other conversation so maybe i should stop there lmao

28 Favourite songs at the moment?

ahh!! i have so many. i've been listening to a LOT of phoebe bridgers and boygenius. so smoke signals and icu are probably two songs that i spend the most time listening to rn.

but also! against the kitchen floor by will wood (i can finally listen to songs OTHER than this one now, though, which is great)

nightstand by dev lemons!! is really good

body to flame by lucy dacus

and!! the kingdom is within you by gang of youths (fun fact: listening to the gang of youths album angel in realtime. and day dreaming about fridging batman for the sake of drama between the robins is a very good pastime)

30 How are you doing? <3

i'm doing good! my birthday was yesterday :3 so that's neat. i am in desperate need of motivation to write (and a cure for the temptation to write jayroy fanfic)

#i did this all on my phone at work ough #ty for the ask!!#my beloved mutual #mines also sooo long so now we're even ig lmao #this is probably mostly nonsense rambling but if you chose to follow me then that's a you problem <3

I'd take a whole godamn movie about shenanigans about Rachel and Randall over a single hour about some fucking white guy's pathetically tame daddy issues and stupid bowling bs. Cause at least we'd know what to expect! If it was called "wade's dumbass bowling adventure featuring knuckles as an accessory to wade's situations only" instead then I wouldn't be as upset since it's true! Hell, I would have taken tom again cause he isn't annoyingly a comedy relief like wade. It's just so pretentious that so many are trying to act like fans are in the blame for wanting a knuckles series simply called KNUCKLES, to be at least halfway about knuckles. Idc how good the production quality was, idc about "wow a cheesey Broadway number with a good singer about knuckles' backstory with wade", idc about focusing on comedy and I can NOT care about trying to delve more into the life of the least interesting character of the human cast, without a doubt.

This is all to say, scu has been letting me down with this and reeves shadow so if they don't at least have L&L in 3 PROPERLY, then idk. I'll send a tweet to Ben Schwartz asking him why he hates me specifically or something.

And you're so correct is the thing !!!!! I feel the exact same way !! If I wanted to watch a movie about a mediocre white guy with his random side kick, I'd go watch literally most other movies lmao. The SCU in theory is so cool and my dream come true but in action they're just letting me down over and over again. Why do they keep making poor choices ? Please stop, the fans are begging you.

And truly I don't wanna be a hater, I'm a lover girlboy heart, I really am, but I do think that the criticism that we have about the MCU are valid

#not too much about keanu as shadow though...#i asked for that to happen many many months ago actually i was very excited when it actually happened #answering and asking #ive been a sonic fan for 7 years #i am a VETERAN #SCU why are you doing this to me ?? to US ?!!!!

why does tumblr like my incoherent appreciation posts so much i doubt half the people that like it understand it fully

BUT ANYWAYS

I’M HERE TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE

and i’ve wanted to do this for a while because he is my favorite character and HAS BEEN my favorite character! for a few months now, actually!!

FUNDY APPRECIATION POST TIIIME, YEAH BAYBEES!!!

look, fundy, prior to season two, this man did NOT get to roleplay. he was actually my favorite chractacter because his backstory was so perfect and could be used in a book and he’s SUCH a well thought out character BUT I WILL GET TO THAT!!

but oh my GOD did he step up to the podium in SEASON FREAKING TWO!!! he! i! oh my god!!! have you guys SEEN his interactions with ghost wilbur?! I didn’t even KNOW fundy was good at roleplay, and YET!!

AND YET!!!

he pulled this angsty teen bs out of buttfuck NOWHERE and knocked it out of the PARK with it!!! all of his lines in regards to ghost wilbur, all of his little quips and perfectly timed silences, they’re all so realistic and well-done and ajsiadnk he’s just out here to fuel the angst train??

oh yes, he COULD have decided to make amends with wilbur, but would that have been realistic??? HELL NO! he SAW that, and went ‘no <3′ and pulled out lines like “you abandoned me” “im not jealous of tubbo because he’s president, im jealous of tubbo because he probably still has a DAD somewhere and i don’t” “wilbur, LISTEN!!!” “you never take these things SERIOUSLY!” “look, he thinks this is a joke” like UM????

UM???????????????????

WHERE?? WHERE DID HE GET THIS FROM?? AND WHY DIDNT WE SEE IT IN SEASON ONE?? WHY DIDNT WE LET THIS MAN SPEAK!!!

and that’s just the daddy issues, not to mention his commitment to fundywastaken!!!!! it’s stuch an easy thing to forget and brush off, but oh nononono!!! he sticks to it, and he’s stuck to it ever since it was deemed CANON. AND THAT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO!!!

using his date with dream as a way to cam dreamon!dream down?? THE ONE SCENE, THE SCENE WITH THE FLOWERS, “george will love these” “why george?” I’M.

HM.

HMMMM.

and on ranboo’s stream the other day, when he mentioned his wedding with dream (the video is coming out tomorrow by the way!!! be ready for THAT one) and the chat just started smiling and people started to yell like “DREAM IS CHEATING ON FUNDY WITH GEORGE,” the way that he paused and read it aloud and started saying things like, “no, he wouldn’t....i don’t think that’s true.” but then started to sniffle and straight up LEFT for a few minutes after audiably starting to cry??? I

it’s like he KNOWS that it’s true and he’s just in denial WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US FUNDY PLEEEASE

this character has been through SO MUCH, like, think about it, wilbur’s abuse/neglect, schlatt, having to watch wilbur die, eret dipping on his adoption day (no hate to eret, nobody told them that it was happening lmao (i have some thoughts about why that is but that’s a topic for another post ehehe)), dream being a adulterous prick, all of that, and fundy plays it PERFECTLY!!!

and also fundy’s desire to be acknowledged and appreciated by a person in a position of superiority or power has been a constant this entire tme, my only real qualm with his character is actually that he WASNT on schlatt’s side, because schlatt actually didn’t treat fundy?? badly?? he definitely acknowledged and even put him into a position of power, something that his own FATHER CONSTANTLY refused to do, so i felt like it should have started out with him wanting to be on wilbur’s side before slowly moving to schlatt but you know what???

he might not have done it FULLY, but the INTENT was definitely there!!!! flash back to the festival, tubbo gets muffined and fundy is like, ‘wait...does that mean i can stand there?’ and when schlatt says yeah he sounds and looks genuinely happy??? like ‘oh my god not only am i in a position of power im actually being treated that way with respect and jkdnasnfwerdsfzk’

we have, frankly, been SLEEPING on fundy and im TIRED of it. GO APPRECIATE HIM MORE!!!! NOW!!!!

For the fandom ask, FE3H!

the character i least understand

Honestly dunno who answer here since I feel I understand MOST characters. Even the ones I dislike to some extent *cough Rhea cough* I still understand why they are the way they are.

interactions i enjoyed the most

I mean Lorentz/Marianne is my OTP (WHO ACTUALLY ARE ON SCREEN AND NOT BACKSTORYEXCLUSIVE CHARACTERS WHO I POURED 500 HOURS HEADCANON ANGST AND DRAMA) so I'm going to say them. Tho I do remember I LOVED Dimitris and Gilberts support chain as one of the three ppl in the fandom who actually like Gilbert lmao

the character who scares me the most

No one honestly... I guess Rhea but the writing really drops the ball with her. So no one really?

the character who is mostly like me

Either Linhardt or Hilda if I'm being honest

hottest looks character

If I must give a socially acceptable answer then Shamir, Ladislava or Seteth

If I'm allowed to say what my heart desires, then Thales. Hot evil toku ass looking evil sorcerer with armor and stylish cape is such an aesthetic.

one thing i dislike about my fave character

Getting obvious out of the way, The Agarthans as whole are treated as cartoonishly evil wizards and all the interesting stuff about them is only heavily implied. They also lack screentime and get swept after. My evil dubstep bastard daddy and his evil wizard cult deserved so much better

As for my individual favorite overall excluding the dubstep wizard daddy (Patricia) I HATE HOW SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP. Tfw the most interesting character in the Sothis darn game doesn't even show up in person and is backstory only -_-. Also she doesn't have a design and unlike A CERTAIN FANDOM we won't have canon design contests so god knows if she will ever get one.

As for my individual fave that's actually playable. Lorentz I love you but PLEASE change your hair pre-TS.

one thing i like about my hated character

Rhea is a genuinely interesting character who has understandable motives while being an absolutely awful human being. Wish the game and the fandom treated her as such instead of woobifying her. The reason I dislike Rhea has less to do with Rhea herself and moreso with the way shes written and treated in the fandom.

a quote or scene that haunts me

Either how angry Rhea gets if you side with Edelgard (GOD SHE GETS SO PISSED) or in VW/SS when the nukes

Also reuniting with Dimitri in AM

a death that left me indifferent

IDK honestly.

a character i wish died but didn’t

No one honestly... The closest I can think of is I wish there was ONE route where Claude died and it wasn't optional but that's about it and its mostly because the other two lords always die but Claude just "yeets away from the plot". I do like Claude but I didn't really like that.

my ship that never sailed

Does my dream of having Patricia/Lambert be happy and not be fucked up by Cornelia count? But then again, had Patricia not betrayed Lambert it's likely that the Tragedy of Duscur wouldn't happened and as such like half of the game wouldn't have been a thing given how integral it is to the entire Blue Lion houses backstory (Mercedes not withstanding).

Send me a fandom and I will tell you

My thoughts on the final season of Orange is the New Black:

Obviously, some heavy spoilers below:

If you ask me, Piper’s storyline outside Litchfield was, for the most part, a complete waste of time. Instead of having her getting stoned with her brother or going to that pointless retreat, why didn’t they have her doing something productive like helping other former inmates or writing her book?

Speaking of the book, I’m high-key disappointed they gave the memoir storyline to Judy fucking King. Call me cheesy but I was looking forward to the show ending with Piper writing her book just like she said she would in season 6. Such a missed opportunity.

I really, really wanted Taystee to be cleared of Piscatella’s murder. I don’t understand why they gave so much importance to Suzanne writting what really happened and Taystee showing the text to her lawyer if it wasn’t going to make a difference in the end. Chekhov’s gun, anyone?

I’m so relieved she didn’t kill herself. I guess as long as there’s life there’s hope fucking Cindy will confess the truth and justice will be served. In the meantime, I was happy Taystee found a new meaning to her life and decided to help other inmates have a better shot at rebuilding their lives after prison.

Daddy’s death caught me by surprise. That said, I didn’t notice her absence at all for the reminder of the season. I guess she was a one-hit wonder character.

I have the feeling they had no idea what to do with Frieda so they just had her do weird stuff like accumulating trash.

Thank Christ they got rid of Badison so early in the season. Cringiest, most annoying character in the history of television.

Aleida is so stupid lmao. I get she wanted to protect her daughter from that pedophile but she fucked up. I was rooting for her to rebuild her life and I was disappointed at her.

I liked Suzanne coming to terms with her sentence and being more comfortable around people and making new friends. It’s what she deserves.

Why is Cesar out of jail? Didn’t Aleida say he was supposed to stay there until he was an old man?

So Yadriel isn’t Pepa’s biological father?

Shani, man. Her relationship with Nicky was so cute and you could tell she was different from Nicky’s other flings. She didn’t act like a stallion around her, she was sweet and considerate with her and her backstory was very sad. I’m pissed they weren’t endgame because they made such a good couple.

There was no need to kill off Lorna’s baby. That was unnecessary roughness.

What happened to Maritza left me devastated. That final sequence of her getting into the plane and all the other women who were deported as well slowly disappearing until there was no one left gave me fucking chills. It was tough to watch but it had to be done to make a point of how a good portion of the immigrants who get deported are young adults who have never lived anywhere else besides the US, but still they are not considered citizens.

I absolutely adore Fig. Her character development was one of the best in the show. Also I LOVE HER RELATIONSHIP WITH CAPUTO OMG.

Piper’s sister-in-law is annoying af. I bet she is one of those anti-vaccinations freaks.

Alex looked so damn hot in her flashback oh my god.

Goodall is adorable! For real, what a gorgeous baby.

I was not expecting CO Fischer to make a comeback.

Healy is still a piece of shit.

I can understand why Piper developed feelings for Zelda. She represented the potential life she could lead now that she was a free woman, the opportunity to start over and leave prison behind (like Sophia advised her to). However, there wasn’t anything exciting about being with her, it was way too safe and that’s the exact opposite of what she had with Alex.

Polly is even more annoying than she was before but Larry didn’t get on my nerves this time around, which surprised me. Maybe because his little prep talk is what pushed Piper to follow Alex to Ohio or maybe it was the nostalgia. Idk, but they brought him back in a nice way.

I felt really bad for Vinnie. He wasn’t only grieving for his son but he also had to see Lorna fall into that complete state of denial.

Sophia’s comeback was everything. She looked like a goddess and she seemed so happy and in control of her life. I thought we wouldn’t see her again after she got released from prison but I’m glad they managed to bring her back even for a couple of scenes.

Totally random statement but Piper looked very attractive at the benefit gala and the morning after. I don’t know if it was the hair or the way they did her eyes but she was smoking hot.

Danielle Brooks is the best actress in the show. Don’t @ me.

McCullough is the archetype of the psycho ex. I legit thought she was going to shoot Piper when she confronted her at her house.

Alex knows Piper so damn well. She is aware of the fact that Piper tends to run away from stuff when things get complicated and her choosing to have an affair with McCullough was her way to try to protect herself. Then again, I really thought they had moved on from that phase.

Fig lying about being pregnant to help that woman get an abortion was such a strong moment. Also her calling out the double-standard of the guard who was opposed to the woman aborting but wanted her to get deported? Legends only.

Lorna is such a racist but I can’t bring myself to dislike her. If anything I’ve always felt a bit sorry for her.

Linda is such a bitch.

Tamika was the only warden who actually cared about making a difference. I’m sad she got fired because of something that wasn’t even her fault but her good deeds made a profound impact.

McCullough is so damn unstable but I can’t blame her for developing such strong feelings for Alex. She’s quite irresistible.

Alex acting all unattached and cold as she was breaking up with Piper was painful to watch. I knew it wasn’t real but for a hot second I thought that was it for them.

The ICE storyline was out-of-this-world amazing. So powerful and brilliantly done, quintessential OITNB.

If you had told me six years ago I would cry like a baby with Pennsatucky’s death I would have laughed at you.

But for real, POOR PENNSATUCKY. I’m sorry she had to die for Taystee to stay alive.

Because of the ‘a fan-favorite character dies in the final episode to mark the end of the show’ trope I had the feeling they were going to kill either Red, Alex or Taystee. I was legit surprised when the final death was revealed to be Pennsatucky.

That Poussey flashback had me in tears.

Alex and Nicky’s goodbye scene was so sweet and I love they talked about eventually reuniting. They were my brotp.

What Larry told Piper when she visited him at his place was very interesting. When Piper told him she loved Alex he told her he believed her, but that he also thought she loved what Alex represented. I believe that was true at some point—well, for most of the series—and, unconsciously, Piper believed that as well. But, if anything, what they went through in season 7 helped Piper realize she did want to be with Alex. The extra limb analogy was amazing and I don’t think Jenji could have picked a better way to explain their relationship.

Hellman is the new warden? Gross.

My favorite part about the old inmates’ cameos was that they were shown doing the same stuff they did in Litchfield: Boo being tired of everyone’s bullshit, Yoga giving the mandala talk to new inmates, Gina feeling exasperated and Norma calming her down, Watson running and Alison checking her time, Angie and Leanne being stupid, Brook mooning over stuff.

I only missed two characters making a cameo: Sister Ingalls and Miss Claudette. I know most fans wanted to see Bennett again but fuck that coward.

Also wtf happened to Bayley? I kinda wanted to know.

Karla’s story broke my heart. I’m glad they included her character because her story is the story of millions of immigrants that are separated from their children, forced to return to their home countries and endure harsh conditions while trying to make their way back to the US.

Blanca really went out there and said “fuck it” to the american dream, didn’t she? In my opinion she had the best ending out of all the characters. I’m so happy she reunited with Diablo and is ready to live her life with him at last. My girl deserved it.

Maria’s storyline was so ‘meh’. It was way too similar to her season 6 storyline.

My mom Gloria had the second best ending. I was afraid they were going to punish her because of the phone thing but thankfully asshole Luschek finally did something right. I was rooting for her to have a happy ending and I’m glad she got it.

Also was that little girl living with Gloria and her kids her granddaughter? Because she was definitely younger than her sons but Gloria’s flashback stated her daughters are older, so I’m confused.

I really need to know if Aleida killed Daya. I hate it was left so open.

Flaca choosing to help immigrants was so sweet. I bet one of the reasons she did it was to stop them from suffering Maritza’s fate.

Fig and Caputo are adopting!

Cindy did not deserve a good ending after she ruined Taystee’s life. That made me so angry. I was really hoping she would confess the truth.

In the end, McCullough made Alex a favor by having her transferred to Ohio. She went back to minimum security, she was with friends and people she knew and far away from all the crap in max.

What happened to Red and Lorna was devastating. Red losing her identity and her memory was so tragic because of what a badass she was. Also I knew Lorna would lose it after her son’s death but it was heartbreaking. They deserved better.

It sucks balls Nicky lost every person who was important to her but despite that I liked her ending because, even though she suffered heartbreak after heartbreak, she found a way to keep herself sober and now she will help others the way Red helped her. It was the best way she could honor her.

Despite literally everyone around Piper advising her to leave Alex behind and forget about her (from her parole officer to her dad to Larry to Sophia) the fact that she chose to follow Alex to Ohio was a pleasant surprise to me. It showed her growth and how much she really wanted to be with Alex, and that she was not a mistake in her life but her life. I was never a Vauseman shipper but even I knew they had to be endgame, any other ending wouldn’t have made any sense. I feel bad for the shippers because it was a very tough season for them but love prevailed, so congrats.

I didn’t catch the Piper Kerman cameo until I saw someone mentioned it on twitter. That was so cool! Also I don’t know if this was intentional but I liked the visual parallel between Larry Smith & Piper and Piper Kerman & Alex. Larry waited for Piper for as long as she was in jail and never abandoned her, so I choose to believe Kenji and Co. are hinting at Piper doing the same thing for Alex.

It was a good decision to show us a glimpse of Piper’s new life. She has a stable job, a new home, she is studying about criminal law and using her time in a productive way, and also she looks happier than we ever saw her.

In conclusion, I liked the season very much. Orange is one of my favorite shows and I think they ended it in a very nice way. It was very well executed and, unlike other final seasons I have watched over the years, it never felt rushed to me. It was the best season in at least a couple of years and I’m in love with the series finale, I stand by my original statement that it is the best one I have ever seen.

I give it a solid B+, four-out-of-five stars, 8.5 out of 10.

Orange forever, indeed.

Yes to Yuji wrecking Mahito! Just so much yes my boy needs to avenge those wrongfully killed!

See I wanted Geto to be on my shit list (as I'm not normally a bad guy lover) but I swear he wore me down reading the manga. Plus he's just so pretty he makes my brain all static noises 😳 Not to mention that backstory between him and Gojo like YES give me all the drama I need buried drama 🤩

Totally agree on the Mai thing. See I wanted to hate Todo too bc of well him beating on Megumi but the moment him and Yuji were just like "Big Dumb Meat Heads" together I threw that out the window! Those two together are *chefs kiss* Absolutely stupendous I never get tired of them 👌👌👌

Mai on the other hand is just crawling more and more under my skin. Like why you gotta be like that gurl? You wanna go in the crusty corner with Mahito? Cuz you gotta crusty attitude that needs fixing like yesterday 😐

Literary brain tells me it wants more drama/character growth between Megumi and Toji. But my useless overly big heart wants to punch Toji and protect Megumi at all costs bc he just showed up on the screen like the kool aid man and burst right into my heart and I shan't forgive Megumi for that but now I will die for him so ¯\_( ツ)_/¯

But I'm not the only one who lowkey fantasizes about self inserty type day dreams??? Like every day all day I got my thoughts flowing into 500 different lil oneshots I'm too chicken to post anywhere bc I havent written anything in a while and I feel I'm rusty. But your idea! YOUR IDEA WOO BOI- I'm not even a Gojo fanatic (like I adore him but my heart dick thudded elsewhere RIP) but that scene you described of straddling him just to rip his blindfold off in the heat of an arguement that's clearly deadly to either party- Just to see him on the brink of tears fighting back every emotion to slate his composure to cocky/uncaring. Only to have it obviously failing, and the metaphorical reality around you both crumbling along with Gojo's emotional state- Oh God I would read that crap outta something like that. It fills me with the angst and I thrive on it daily *heavy breathing* You should think about posting more of your original content too! Self inserty or not bc that sounds down right brilliant on so many levels

💛anon

Bro I can't help but feel had for Gojo. That shit must have hurted. Like he looked so calm and collected when it all happened but was he really? His best friend potential lover went feral and murdered an entire village AND his family then he tried to kill his first years once and now AGAIN what is happening. Did you see the look on Gojo's face when Yaga told him he went rogue? That was a face of hurt and betrayal he couldn't even begin to understand at the young age of... What was it, 17? 18? He was practically a little itty bitty baby compared to now. I haven't read the prequel yet don't laugh at me but I've heard it hurts so much worse having to face Getou back then AND now. Stupid brain worms, stop fucking around.

I wanted to hate Todo too hut before he even turned good I couldn't. I have a thing for big buff boys who have zero brains and too much brawns I'm looking at you Metal Bat, Captain Ōbi I just wanna adopt/marry them because in all reality they're trying their best. I'm really glad Todo exists and has his big brother delusion because honestly I think that's something Yuji needs, especially in the current arc. Yuji needs as much support as he can get.

PFFFT CRUST CORNER I cannot with you omg they do need to sit on the time out chair for s bit and think about what they've done lmaooo

DID YOU CALL TOJI ZENIN- FUSHIGURO THE FUCKING KOOL AID MAN AHAHAHHHSH oh my god i hate this so fucking much or were you calling Megumi the koolaid man bc really each one is absurd n e wayz I dunno bro I rlly can't wait until Megs wakes up post Shibuya arc and actually has time to process what the fuck happened to him back then. I really want to know if he can connect the dots by himself and realize holy shit that was the source of my daddy issues right there in the flesh and how he reacts to him being a curse and all that. There's so many ways that can go too it's scary to think about.

Low key unrelated but I have a theory that Gojo can see everything from his little cube prison and knows what's going on. Its probably because of the six eyes, or because he's just fucking Gojo, or even because Geto seems kinda sadistic and would do something like that. But I can imagine him watching Megs and Toji fight and it absolutely destroying him. For starters, Gojo killed him .... Right? Wtf is he doing back? What? Second don't commit suicide in front of your kid oh my god Toji what (I'm probably just salty because of a past experience, but also, calm down Toji oh my god) and third I can see it hurting Gojo because in a way it feels like he's been trying to protect Megumi. Its obvious Gojo has this attachment to Megumi, and maybe it's because they've known each other so long, but I don't think Gojo is prepared to deal with the aftermath. Does he have to tell him, if Megs doesn't put the pieces together? Will he have to knock some sense into him to actually tell him? Because he DID try to tell Megs once before and he avoided it like the plague. Its also gotta hurt when you feel like someone's dad and you witness them have a bad interaction with their other dad.

Throw in his daughter being on the brink of death, his other son being emotionally demolished, his second year kids lost in the void and not even his void, his best friend locked him in a box, his other best friend exploded, etc. I think Gojo I pretty distraught even if he doesn't show it

Bro okay my brain is riddled with ideas like this and 90% of them are always angst. Idk where tf they come from half the time but they exist and I hate it. They're always self inserts too.

So I actually read this ask last night, but due to personal reasons I didn't reply to it now, and I actually started experimenting writing out this scenario. I had to stop when I wrote the line "Approximately one year after the first finger was consumed, Itadori Yūji was formally executed. At three minutes to midnight, Sukuna Ryomen was expelled from his body, destroying the vessel along with it. The executioner was none other than the teenager's teacher and mentor Gojo Satoru. When Y/N awoke to this news, they attacked on sight."

Oh god I made myself so sad with that line

And i do really want to post some of my fics, like I did with Nobara Meeting Sukuna For The First Time. However, I only posted that because it was short and simple lmao it was basically just a meme I didn't even run it though grammarly like I do with the headcanons.

I like sticking to the headcanons as of right now because I feel like grammar didn't exist when I make those. I can spell things wrong and leave off punctuation and word then like I'm a third grader just learning English and no one will laugh lmao. Fanfics kinda stress me out because i want them to be perfect. I also have a hard time with fight scenes and transitioning and it's s mess.

I REALLY want to write out my Guardian Angel! Junpei AU because I think it's so cute. Just the idea that this boy is assigned to fight against fate and the higher ups and keep Yuji alive despite him being an idiot and a target is cute to me. Like I just canon him being the plantonic equivalent of in love with this boy and he feels like he rlly owes it to Yuji for trying to save him it's the LEAST he can do. Plus I need the mental imagine if Junpei annoying reader-chan into finding Yuji because "they play a pivotal role in Yuji's future" just for the "pivotal role" to literally be playing therapist and just being there for him and being a medium between Junpei and Yuji because guardian angels aren't allowed to reveal themselves to the person they're guarding but also/// he might risk his wings being stripped just to talk to Yuji one more time////

Okay I'm going to stop now

But yea, maybe if I have time and create little mini works like Nobara Meeting Sukuna For the First Time I'll def post them! I'll work on casually making them longer and soon I'll be confident to posts longer ones. But until then I hope just the headcanons at alright ;-;

@duckyboos-blog and @wantstoflyafraidtofall have tagged me to share every title in my wip folder. thank you!! but strap in, because there’s a lot:

we’ll go in reverse chronological order, because at the beginning of all this i never would have imagined i’d write so much and my organization was...troubling.

somewhere my sins don’t stretch: an outlaw au coming soon to an ao3 near you? i am really hoping to finish this one up sometime in the near future, but if the story has anything to say about it, i’m going to end up writing another 30k words, so we will see

cas and cain: did cas sound wistful talking about cain to anyone else? just me? okay. i take a firm stance that they definitely knew each other. you’re trying to tell me cas wouldn’t have been talking to the second generation of humanity? get outta here

cas & kelly: are we sensing a theme yet? i really love their friendship a lot. lmao i opened this one up and i literally have one sentence written and that is it. who knows where i was going with that one

jesse/cesar: i love cesar more than i have words for, i am obsessed by the idea of their backstory

wrestling: get ready for my dcbb, i am sooo excited. putting the spit shine on this one!

okay, brief foray into the witcher:

5+1: 5 times Geralt saw Jaskier naked, and 1 time Geralt saw Jaskier naked

announcer jaskier: geralt is a wrestler, and, is it just him or does this announcer compliment his looks and moves more than he does for everyone else?

charlotte!jaskier: jaskier is a widower in the woods, whose spouse was gung ho about moving there and died shortly afterwards. Jaskier’s so hopeless that if Geralt doesn’t help him, he’s sure Jaskier won’t be too far behind. Obviously he can’t let that happen.

jaskier and roach: i am such a sucker for hurt comfort that i am going to hurt the horse. i am a monster.

outsider pov: “I saw your son was visiting you. How is he?” Angela asks, out of a sense of neighborly obligation, the next time she sees Jaskier at the marketJaskier sighs, and Angela instantly feels sorry, thinking it was a subject she maybe shouldn’t have broached. “I’m his sugar daddy, actually.” This is what Angela gets for being polite. ‘nuff said

the coast: exactly what it sounds like, geralt becomes a horse farmer and jaskier pulls his hair out at the ever expanding zoo he finds himself in. pure fluff

too different to endure: geralt sad boi hours

back to supernatural, this is starting to get into my old old stuff, let me blow off the dust

mary fic: what do mary and cas talk about in 12x02? i am dying to know

worst cooks: worst cooks in america au where dean and cas are judges and cas is a prickly little SOB. dean is an unbearable ray of sunshine. i really need to keep writing this one, it is actually pretty good

bring him peace: obligatory mcd story, i want to write this one for the end of the series

end verse: another nice one with one sentence, but this one’s plotted out on my story bulletin board that my cat likes to try and eat

comedy of errors: dean is a baker, cas has a twin... i really just want to write something funny

food safety culture: edited the 100k words of this at work, so i had to have a relevant title lol. dean and cas have been together since purgatory, and it’s totally canon compliant. i’m begging the writers to bones us, that’s my dream

okay now here is the beginning of my fic writing career, cry with me at what i titled these:

fic 10: yes, i really numbered them. this is some angsty shit about dean’s scars. back when i was angsty teenager. now i’m just angsty

fic 8: remember that one tumblr post about the little toddler calling ducks fucks? yeah

fic 6: dean is a resident hall director and cas is a food science professor who likes to talk about molecules.

fic 3: obligatory dean rescues a cat story

(fic 1, 2, and 9 have been posted and 4 and 5 don’t exist? i don’t even know, honestly)

this was a lot of fun to revisit some of these that i haven’t opened in forever! thanks for tagging me!! (we won’t get into my stack of index cards with plots on them... but trucker dean is one of them)

anyway, if anyone else wants to tackle this undertaking, feel free to share with me! @witcher-and-his-bard @good-things-do-happen-dean @amyoatmeal @chill-legilimens if you wanna?

#tag games #this is actually a lot less than i expected #seems like i can finish some things after all #thank you!

Ikemen Revolution - Edgar’s Route

Sirius | Lancelot | Fenrir

aka the sexiest man in the entire red army the entire cast. the hottest stud in the military. the most gorgeous boy in Alice’s harem. the man who will satisfy your wishes and desires, the man who will make your hopes and dreams come true.

THE SMOOTHEST TALKER EVER

it’s been over a month since I finished Edgar’s route but here is his long awaited and very delayed scream fest. I wrote this up bit by bit over the course of two months but I never had the time to sit down and proof read it until now because of school and I didn’t want to post something half assed because it’s Edgar! Also this is uhh... really freaking long LOOL. As usual, if you you want my actual serious final thoughts on the route, just skip to the final blurb.

Now with literally every red army route so far (except Jonah), OF COURSE the Black Army mofos send Alice off with more NAMELESS, FACELESS soldiers who can’t do shit in the face of kidnappers, and end up getting their ass kicked, leaving poor Alice completely defenseless. This time around, the kidnappers make off with Alice’s belongings into the sunset so Alice can’t return home.

That is until our dashing gentleman aka Edgar comes in going like hey baby I’ll help you find your stuff so won’t you please come home to bed with me and of course Alice accepts because he’s a damn hot stud.

Aw Kyle don’t say that ;;;;;.

SO PRECIOUS.............

I’m going to say it right now but Edgar is ADORABLE. Literally the first half of his route is just him and Alice bonding over their love of candy and playing with animals. Edgar even takes Alice out to see a family of ducks he takes care of and he refers to them as his own family and fucking named them “The Creeks” JUST HOW PRECIOUS CAN HE GET???? Considering how Edgar is portrayed as that “evil scheming asshole here to ruin everyone’s day” in everyone else’s route, I didn’t expect him to be so sweet BUT HE IS SUCH A GOD DAMN SWEETIE as you can see I’m infinitely biased towards LIs who like animals.

What... a .... fucking... dork

lmao @ Lancelot trying to act like a do-s when he’s the complete opposite of that. This man doesn’t have a single sadistic bone in his body... he’s just a big mushy teddy bear.

WHAT A FUCKING BIG MUSHY TEDDY BEAR, BOTH OF YOU.

The red army boys are a bunch nerds you just can’t help but fall in love with after going through their routes... especially Edgar’s! I love them all so much.

OH NO MY BABY DON’T SAY THAT PLEASE.

lmao I love the blatant acknowledgement. But also mood.

Anyway after Zero zeros in on Edgar being a sketchy prick, Edgar mopes around some more because “shit Zero is exactly right” and he has a realization that he has Feelings In His Chest. Of course Alice catches on so she bakes him some super unhealthy cookies to make him feel better (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).

I MEAN... I DON’T BLAME HIM, BECAUSE SAME.

Edgar starts disappearing into the night to do “”family business”” for his totally-not-evil-uncle and I SWEAR to god at the time I was like “this mofo’s deadass going around murdering people” and now I’m just like .... ha ha.

One day Alice stumbles across Edgar coming home from “”family business”” and rushes out to greet him, only for him to freak the fuck out and hide his hands behind his back. SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT HIS HANDS WERE BLOOD SOAKED. Alice’s like wtf you doing and yanks his hands out only to find them freezing cold BECAUSE HE WAS BUSY WASHING THE BLOOD OFF OF THEM.

This is one of my favourite scenes JUST.... WARMTH... THE TENDERNESS.... THE FONDNESS.... THE SHEER AFFECTION SHE HAS FOR HIM IS SO MAGNETIZING. The god damn romantic connotations is overflowing it’s practically on the same level as a damn love confession without the actual confession of love.

I love that sort of duality between their relationship being built on fake premises, but is actually very genuine at its core. Edgar may have saved Alice with ulterior motives, but his kindness towards her both when they first met and their interactions after that was very real. It’s through little things in the writing like Alice commenting on how Edgar’ hands were warm that makes it all the more endearing and heart wrenching.

AGAIN--OH NO MY BABY DON’T SAY THAT PLEASE.

lmao never change, Jonah. Never change.

narrator: she was not fine.

look everything in this game may be a rip off but those LI-perspective side stories are just..............IT’S OKAY MY HEART IS ALREADY MADE OF DIAMOND.

Anyhoo the war between the two armies are starting to get Heated Up™ and Edgar requests Lancelot to go scouting in enemy territory alone, but Lancelot refuses bc it’s dangerous. Honestly idk what’s so dangerous about it considering how Sirius’s route was pretty much Edgar vs Black Army and the Black Army still had trouble but ANYWAY. Alice finds out and gets pissed and they end up arguing, to which everyone starts celebrating and clinking wine glasses in toasts because “holy shit Edgar actually has emotions?!” 😂😂

MY GUY LOL WHAT IS THIS.

In Edgar’s route, you don’t say “I love you”, you say THIS. SERIOUSLY MY HEART HURTS SO BAD ESPECIALLY WITH THE CONTEXT OF EDGAR’S CHARACTER AND THE STORY OF THIS ROUTE.

After Edgar’s leaves on his scouting trip Claudius decides it’s a good time to come out into the limelight and ruin some people’s lives for fun so he sends Alice a letter going like “yo here’s a plot convenient key to Edgar’s safe where he keeps his weed stash so you can see the truth that your boyfriend is a PIECE OF SHIT”. And Alice is all like “ay Edgar isn’t a piece of shit, I’m sure this is just a prank!”

too bad it isn’t.

Zero takes Alice to Edgar’s safe and seriously I was on the edge of my seat wondering wtf was in his safe. I suspected it was gonna be her belongings but with the suspense they kept building in this part I wouldn’t have been surprised if there were fucking dead bodies in that locker.

So on the bright side, there were no dead bodies in the safe. On the not so bright side, Alice finds all the letters she wrote to the Black Army, as well as warning letters from them she never received so it turned out Edgar was fabricating the letters she was exchanging with the Black Army all this time. OH GOODIE.

GAHHHH NO EDGAR.

SERIOUSLY can we talk about how good the writing in this route is?!? All the dialogue and monologues are just structured in a way that gets to my emotions. I fucking cried during this scene because Alice’s emotions and despair was so raw and powerful and the way Edgar just silently took all her verbal abuse because he couldn’t defend himself but he was breaking with every word she said ...... ABLHEAJTARTHEATHJAEKHT.

Anyway Alice miraculously somehow escapes the Red Army Headquarters and races back to the Black Army in one piece seriously girl did you run an entire evening without stopping to black territory??? Adrenaline mixed with terror is something only for the surprise plot convenience robbers to make a reappearance. Fortunately, our MVP Luka dashingly swoops in and saves her. He brings her back to Black Territory and cooks her dinner and is there to comfort her MPH...BABY BOY IS SO SOFT AND SWEET...................

Alice completely breaks down and ME FUCKING TOO. She can’t really say much other than a strangled sob of “You know Luka, I had a lot of fun at the Red Army. Edgar treated me really, really well” or something like that and honestly that’s also she really needed to say to convey her heartbreak and betrayal.

lol I can imagine Edgar doing that.

THANKS I’M FUCKING DEPRESSED NOW.

Luka reveals that he and Edgar were long time friends and muses to Alice on what he’s known about Edgar throughout the years. He drops this information on Alice not to necessarily tell her how to feel, but just as food for thought for Alice as she sorts out her feelings.

THANKS I’M EVEN MORE FUCKING DEPRESSED NOW. Also this is hands down the most powerful admittance of love this game has given me.

lmao never change Seth, never change.

Anyhoo Claudius McDoucheMuffin gets into contact with Alice and is all like “hey girl I got your purse.” And for some reason, Alice thinks he’s perfectly trustworthy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯.

ALICE....ABOUT THAT....

OH NO.

Well yeah what do you know ha ha, Claudius kidnaps Alice because THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING TIME THE BLACK ARMY SENDS A NAMELESS BODYGUARD OUT TO PROTECT HER.

Claudius takes Alice to outside Amon’s sex dungeon where Edgar is there lovingly waiting for her. Edgar is slightly surprised to see Alice and is rurl pissed over his daddy uncle manhandling her so he makes Claudius give them some alone time in the carriage while he removes Alice’s ropes and dresses her wounds. Alice isn’t keen on it but she realizes that “holy shit Claudius may be a bigger piece of shit than Edgar” so she lets him spill his token tragic backstory to her.

This is so god damned painful.......

jesus christ this puts the whole “In the Bright family, loving people is practically forbidden” into context.

This makes me wonder what would become of Edgar in the other routes where his pact isn’t abolished-- would he really marry if this was the fate he knew his wife and children would go through, or would he just stay single and let his lineage die with him?

Unfortunately, their touching reunion doesn’t last long because Claudius is pretty much banging on their carriage door going like

“time’s up bitches we got work to do” and pretty much barges in and yanks Alice away from Edgar.

Bring it, asshat.

Claudius unceremoniously marches Alice straight into the thick of Amon’s sex dungeon while Edgar reluctantly dallys along with the Concerned Kermit Face the entire time. Amon pretty much ditches Lance for his new buddy Claudius so they can TAKE OVER THE WORLD HUR DUR. Him and Claudius cackle about their evil plans and Alice realizes that Edgar was more or less being manipulated by them and he’s not the Actual Worst. Amon then orders Alice to be thrown into his Personal Chambers™.

Jesus christ, YOU ARE SUCH AN ASS, CLAUDIUS.

DON’T MIND ME I’M JUST BEING EMO.

We cut back to Amon and Alice and Amon does his typical evil villain monologue, takes off his hood and....

(屮゜Д゜)屮(屮゜Д゜)屮(屮゜Д゜)屮 HE HAS A CHARACTER DESIGN?!?!?!?!

I KID YOU NOT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW AMON WITHOUT HIS HOOD AND I WAS SHOOKED TO MY FUCKING BONES. I DIDN’T THINK HE’D ACTUALLY HAVE A PROPER CHARACTER DESIGN. It was three in the morning when I played this and I literally just put my phone down and laid in my bed staring at the ceiling as I contemplated my life choices after that.

After that shocking revelation, Amon throws Alice into the dungeons for Edgar to dashingly swoop in and save. It’s the full moon so he takes her to the gates of hell Hole That No Player Ever Wants To See. Now if this was a black army route, the suitor would have thrown Alice’s sad ass straight down that hole but this isn’t a black army route so we’re spared from that. Instead we have Alice CHUCKING ALL OF HER POSSESSIONS INTO THE HOLE ((((；゜Д゜))), effectively sealing her fate of ever going back. I get it’s supposed to be a power move but my only thoughts were “WHAT IF EDGAR DIDN’T ACTUALLY RETURN YOUR FEELINGS LMAO?!” I mean it’s an otome game so of course Edgar loves her back but can you imagine how awkward it’d be if Alice was like “I’m not going back because I love you!” and Edgar’s just like “...but I don't feel the same”. YEESH.

On a less superficial level, I was still really sad because didn’t they make a promise to go to London together one day? ໒( •́ ∧ •̀ )७ I know it wasn’t really a promise but still! Chances are all gone now.

Edgar: Alice, I’m an actual murderer. Alice: NAH, YOU’RE JUST A WEIRDO, EDGAR! (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡

I AM SO FUCKING EMO.

Also!!! HE’S THE ONLY BOY SO FAR WHO HAS A KISS CG IN HIS ROUTE. (haven’t played Ray’s route yet so idk about him). You have all these Spicy CGs of the boys and Alice in sexually compromising positions and you have Actual Sex Scenes and yet this game barely has any kiss cgs LOL?! What gives?!

He’s so romantic (ఠ్ఠ ˓̭ ఠ్ఠ).

Since Edgar’s officially betrayed Claudius, he pretty much duels him and kicks his ass and arrests him. Unfortunately, arresting Claudius doesn’t absolve Edgar of his crimes and he’s still put on trial with Lancelot and Ray as the judges. This scene kind of weirded me out because Edgar says some mumbo jumbo about how he’s going on trial so he can “become a man worthy of Alice’s love” like uHHH boy you being worthy of her love ain’t gonna mean jack shit if you’re in jail. Unless you want a nice steamy serving of this ending.

Okay I’m not trying to sound like I’m justifying murder but akjheakthake just FLEETING THOUGHTS YA KNOW. This scene was hella predictable and played out exactly like we’d all know (Edgar doesn’t go to jail hurray!) but even still the trial made me SO EMOTIONAL I STARTED CRYING LMAOO.

Oh Jonah, I know a game you’d love.

Romantic Ending:

Now that things finally calmed down, Alice and Edgar go on a date with Luka tagging along and Jonah acting as the fourth wheel, much to Luka’s chagrin. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･

NEVER CHANGE JONAH, NEVER CHANGE.

Out of all the pet names my fictional boyfriend could give me, being called an angel is my number one favourite IT’S JUST SO SOFT AND MAKES MY HEART GO DOKI FUCKING DOKI YA FEEL.

is it a sin that I imagined Edgar going full blown chokemedaddy yandere jealous.... not exactly a romantic thought in the romantic ending, bUT FLEETING THOUGHTS, FLEETING THOUGHTS.

LUKA IS SO GOD DAMN PRECIOUS KILL ME NOW.

AHHH WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE.....

-------

Honestly I’m not even gonna mince words-- I loved this route and everything that came with it.

Before I go on my rampage, shout out to Luka for being the MVP supporting character in Edgar’s route. It’s hard to imagine them being friends considering how clashing their personalities are but their friendship was surprisingly heartwarming and endearing.

I don’t even know how to articulate my thoughts on what made this route so perfect. For starters, Edgar and Alice have amazing chemistry and their personalities compliment each other well. Their bonding and budding friendship was really endearing and felt very believable. From little superficial antics like sharing candy and taking care of animals and going on silly dates, to more blatant portrayals of the depth of their love like Alice cupping Edgar’s hand to her cheek when he was vulnerable, or Edgar straight up betraying his only family to save her.

Alice’s circumstances of being someone from another world really complimented Edgar’s character. Edgar is a character who lived in a gilded cage his entire life--trapped by his occupation and bound by dirty blood. He’s never once known freedom or has ever had any agency over his life, but Alice shatters that equation. Alice is completely unrelated to the Red Army, or Cradle entirely. She knows nothing about his occupation or his history, and so Edgar is drawn to her because there are no division of titles between them. To her, him being the Jack of Hearts is irrelevant.

He says that without her, he gets “bored”. In the game, he complains that he’s “always bored”. Using “bored” to describe a character usually makes that character seem fickle and that they can’t be serious about anything because everything is just a means to kill time. But in the context of Edgar’s character, “bored” really means “dull”, “lifeless”, or “forced to find happiness through short lived and temporary means”. He copes with his oppression and lack of freedom by chalking up all of his feelings as just boredom. And he’s not wrong-- a life where you can’t make any of your own choices or choose your own path is indeed, very boring.

He constantly calls Alice his “special guest” which on top of being an adorable nickname, carries really heavy connotations. She’s an ethereal guest from another world, from outside of Edgar’s tiny world which he always wanted to expand. I LOVED the scene where Alice says she would like to take Edgar to London with her one day, because it’s the first time you see Edgar start to doubt his world. He’s accepted that his world is small and oppressive, but the first time, it’s almost like Edgar entertains the idea of breaking free from his bird cage.

I want to compliment the relationship development between the two, which was WONDERFULLY paced, something that pitifully cannot necessarily be said about in some of the other routes. Them falling in love felt very natural and the writers did not have to rely on shallow monologues like “he breathed in my direction, what is this feeling in my chest?!” to convince me that they were in love with each other. And when the admittance of love finally happens, it happens at very pivotal moments in the story that just makes the scene so much more emotional.

Freaking 3k+ words and I still don’t think I did Edgar’s route justice. His route was amazingly written, and Edgar is an amazingly multifaceted and endearing character. Best boy truly got best route.

Anyway I’m almost done Loki’s route; Ray is next. After that, the routes I’m REALLY looking forward to and hope do not disappoint are: Harr, Seth, Kyle, and Luka.

hahaha hey thanks for the interest!! (I’m so sorry everyone but my read more cuts aren’t working on the app or on my laptop dkdkfkc)

Ohhhh boy okay so this is my fucking dream ask and I could make it so unnecessarily long but I’ll try to reign it in 😂

OKAY SO I left in late March, I’ve been gone 15 weeks! I’m trying to go a full year, so stay tuned for the point where I have to give in and start asking around for a sugar daddy (or like, make a ko-fi or smth. Does that actually ever work for authors?)

So far I’ve been to Japan (5 weeks), Thailand (4 weeks), Cambodia (2 weeks), and I’m in Vietnam rn (I’ll leave in about a week but idk where I’m going next yet lmao, for now I’ll stay in SE Asia tho). I plan to go to Europe eventually too!

The (very summarized) deets are that I was unhappy with the direction my life (read: work bc that was my whole life) was going which eventually led to this decision. It was a pretty fucking extra one but idk traveling is just what does it for me man and staying at my job wasn’t an option any more (if anyone is really curious for some reason, Katsuki’s Dramatic Backstory in my fic It Will Find You Here is actually just mine so I’m gonna leave the details outta this bc that is sooo not what you signed up for lmao)

You didn’t ask but sometimes I think the elephant in the room is “how are you affording it?” So, just quickly, I kickstarted this by selling all my shit and living like a broke college student for months before leaving. Sometimes I do volunteer work in exchange for accommodation or use Couchsurfing to stay free with (and meet!) local people, I eat a lot of street food, and boy oh fucking boy do I have some interesting stories about hostels now (seriously, ask me about the time I woke up at 5:30 am to a girl and her bf getting it on in my all girls dorm room. or don’t.) The decision to spend so much time in SE Asia was also influenced by money, but I fucking love it here, so I wouldn’t change it even if I did have a sugar daddy to bank roll my travels. But I certainly wouldn’t stay in hostels anymore.

OKAY ILL STOP WRITING NOW LEMME KNOW IF YOU HAVE OTHER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS 😂 I’m happy to share anything about the places I’ve been so far or about how weird and awesome traveling longterm/alone is or really anything? I’m pretty open (if that wasn’t clear from this book I wrote you)

#personal #ask arx #what should my tag be for this #arx travels #or maybe #arx’s quarter life crisis #anyway i tried to reign it in and failed sorry friend #BUT THANKS FOR INDULGING ME WITH THIS ASK #not kiribaku #not bnha

Kpop Q&A~

I was tagged by the one and only loveliest kachu~ @pikachulein

Ultimate bias:

I have quite a few lol

- Kim Yugyeom (GOT7,, he’s my first ever bias and omg I love this big baby with my whole heart)

- Xu Minghao (Seventeen,, I actually knew minghao predebut *not like in person lol i just wanna clarify* I was 9 or something and he said something very inspirational and that really pushed me forward to achieve my dreams )

- Kim Woojin (Stray Kids,, Woojin’s voice really really REALLY got to me. ever since when i first started listening to stray kids I recognized his voice right away and i just love it sososososossoooooooooooo much)

- Qian Kun (NCT/WayV,, i think this one is extremely biased lol, i was looking through NCT kpop profile and when I got to Kun’s I started crying because we are from the same province in China. So i guess it’s just an emotional attachment but Kun is a great vocalist and he’s such a great leader and wow piano boy??????????)

Ultimate bias wrecker:

well if I had a few ult biases of course i got a few bias wreckers

- Choi Youngjae (GOT7,, youngjae was another member’s i kinda didn’t pay much attention to when i first stanned got7. i realized youngjae and i have many similar personalities and i just love his voice?? and i just feel like he’s not getting enough love that he deserves)

- Yang Jeongin (Stray Kids,, ever since i knew about stray kids — so hellavator teasers lol — i have thought jeongin was a baby. at first he’s not my bias or my bias wrecker but i always bring up how he will be jyp’s softest maknae,, i was proven wrong after he got his braces off because this child went wild. but there’s that one selfie he posted where he wore his school uniform i was like,, omg my baby,,,,, and for some reasons you’ll always catch/hear me say something about jeongin,,, but i’m not a jeongin stan)

oh wait theres only two

Favourite kpop song?

asdfghjkl how can I ever choose?????

Im probably gonna list a few or at least try to name one of my each ult group

- I Like You (GOT7)

- Don’t Wanna Cry (Seventeen)

- M.I.A. (Stray Kids)

- New (LOONA - Yves)

- Egoist (LOONA - Olivia Hye)

- Satellite (LOONA,, THIS IS A NEW ONE AND I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH)

First kpop song?

I dont think this is really kpop because it was the Chinese version of a kpop song, but it was Wolf (Chinese ver.) by EXO

Favourite album/single?

okay i actually have set answers for this one because it takes a lot for an album to me my favorite. usually for an album to be my favorite the concept/aesthetics must appeal to me, and I have to like every song on the album

- <Present: You> & Me (GOT7,, i love all the solos and different collab stages i have never heard of just come together and it’s amazing. also lullaby 4 languages?????????)

- Teen,Age (Seventeen,, THE WHITE VERSION IS THE MOST SUPRIOR VERSION YOU CANT FIGHT ME ON THAT ONE. but yes i love all the song on that album,, i seriously can’t pick a song i didn’t like)

- I Am Who (Stray Kids,, this was the album that got me hooked on to stray kids. like i have always liked them since predebut and i guess i stanned them, but they weren’t like up there for me. I am Not was a concept i loved and i’m pretty sure i cried during their debut. but district 9 was really the only thing i listened to and that was it??? i got into them again because i had a friend irl who liked stray kids and i was like “wow a local stay?????? me too !!!!!” so i kinda crash coursed myself into stray kids by listening to all their other songs and before i knew it,, this entire album was on repeat for it.)

tmi: yumi has 3 I am Who albums 😂

Hard or soft stan?

Tea time with Yumi: I was a hard stan.

well here’s the thing over the 3 years I have been into kpop I became less and less of a had stan? when I ulted GOT7 i was such a hard stan (my last igot7selca day was the prime example of a hard stan) but after I ulted seventeen I was less of a hard stan, then eventually when I ulted Stray Kids im like “nope I can’t do this anymore”

I mean I’m still a hoe but that doesn’t mean im a hard stan lololololol

Favourite kpop company?

I dont look too much kpop companies because they all have their flaws in some way, but if I had to pick one it would be JYP. from what I see JYP artists are treated a lot better than artists in other companies. but also I stan a lot of JYP artists

Backstory?

oh wow my story is probably super stupid and long,,,,,

I kinda already knew about kpop because of EXO being super big in China and I actually really liked EXO songs but never tried to stanned the group.

In 2016 there was a really popular app in my school called musical.ly (and yes I used it) on that I heard some kpop songs (Daddy - PSY and Hate - 4Minute) and I was like hey they are not that bad so i decided to listen to those songs for a while plus with some EXO and Orange Caramel because they were the only two groups I knew. Still I didn’t stan any groups yet

I remember it was around June of 2016, I had the tumblr gadget on my phone and one of the tags that were trending was EXO and I was like “hey I know them” so I clicked into it and see what’s up with them (fyi I knew about Kris, Luhan, and Tao leaving EXO,, I cried so hard when Kris left and I didn’t even stan the group lol) and I saw the teasers for the Monster comeback but I kinda looked at it said “wow” and then that’s it.

Then on June 4th, 2016 I was lying on my bed, I was super bored and I decided “hey why not go on tumblr and look up GOT7″ There were so many factors that led me to search for GOT7:

1. I was watching a couple of Chinese shows with Jackson on it and I kept on hearing them mentioning a group called GOT7

2. Try guys try Kpop,, I saw them watching the Just Right MV and I was like “wow this is colorful” but I never got the song name or group name lmao

And because I looked up GOT7 on tumblr it led me to look them up on Youtube and before i knew it I have jumped into the rabbit hole that was stanning GOT7 and other kpop groups

—

because I procrastinated on this for so long i’m not gonna tag anyone, but if you see this and wanna do it you’re welcome to say I tagged you !!

Quinn's Roleplay Search

ABOUT ME

Hello there! Just so you have a vague idea of who I am as a human before we roleplay here’s a little bit about me! If you don’t care who I am, feel free to skip this lmao I’m Quinn, I’m 20 years old and I’m from England. I go to University and study Political Science. I actually did a year of Human Biology but it really didn’t suit me so I switched degrees, it was probably one of the best decisions of my life, to be honest! I live in a big house with six other people, I’m really close with all of them but I don’t think I want to live with this many people at once again lmao I am queer as heck! I’m non-binary, I use they/them pronouns, and I’m bisexual. I’m also polyamorous, disabled, and an intersectional feminist. If that’s not chill with you don’t message me :) I would love to be able to get an animal at some point in the next few years, I’m aiming for some chinchillas to begin with before working my way up to a dog army :P I also love cooking! I have a ridiculous amount of recipes so if you’re ever interested in that hit me up lmao (they’ll all be vegetarian though)! I never grew out of my emo phase, and I always have brightly coloured hair. That’s like the major things of me I think, so on to the roleplay stuff!

CHARACTERS

I love writing characters of every gender, sexuality, etc! My characters are all very diverse and I like to write them as such. All of my characters are queer, every single one, I find playing cishets very boring. I’d love it if you had a diverse cast of characters too! I can play women, men and non-binary people. I’d love to be able to use my non-binary characters more often so if you’re up for that let me know. That being said, if you want me to play a man purely because you only play women, I don’t like that. I’m more okay with being a man ‘because you want me to’ if we’re doubling and I can choose the gender of my second character, but that’s still not ideal. I only use OC’s, with the fandoms I mention I will be playing OC’s within the setting of that fandom, or inspired by that fandom. That being said I’m happy for you to be a canon character if that’s what you’re comfortable with! Just don’t expect the same from me. I have loads and loads of characters, and I love making more! Due to this, I’ll always have new characters to bring in as background. I am also totally happy with doubling, or tripling, or whatever you’d like! It’s not necessary though ^_^ I do use pictures of my characters in their profiles, this is usually not a real person, but instead, I either create them in the character customisation of a game, or avatar creation on websites. I’m trying to learn how to do digital art well but it’s not the quickest of processes. I don’t mind what you use. I can use real life face claims or anime pictures instead if that’s all you like! Just let me know! I do not like when people ask me to play a celebrity face claim they want in return for them playing what I want. I don’t have a list of face claims I want people to play. I want you to play who you want, and I want to be able to play who I want.

ROMANCE

I love romance in RP! But I don’t think it’s necessary, I’d love to do some platonic roleplays too! I’m happy to do all gender shippings, and I’m especially interested in shippings with non-binary/trans characters! That being said I won’t do M// with a straight woman, or F// with a straight man. I know it’s not always the case but I’ve had too many experiences of fetishisation and that’s how I safeguard against it. (Obviously, I’m not going to ask you to disclose your identity but please respect this rule). As I mentioned earlier I don’t like being forced to play a man in a MxF pairing, that’s not because I’m uncomfortable playing men but because I don’t always want to play men. That’s not to say I won’t do MxF though, I do enjoy it, especially if it’s got a lil bit of queer mixed in, or the roles of the characters are not stereotypical (for example the man is the one who needs rescuing, the woman is the one who’s distant and cold, the man is sensitive, etc.). I’m also totally happy to do polyamorous pairings! That being said I’m not always into triads, especially triads where one person is brought into an existing relationship. I’m totally up for our characters to date multiple people though! I like romance to develop naturally, I don’t want it to be forced. If our characters haven’t got chemistry then let’s add some new characters in! Or make it platonic! I’m happy to write sexual scenes, but I will not write pwp, I want it to be a small part of the roleplay and not in any way the main focus. That being said I’m also 100% happy to include no sex, or to fade to black! I am not comfortable with role playing with people under 18. That’s about it on the basics!

WRITING STYLE

I am a literate roleplayer! I ask that you be at least semi-literate. I am totally okay with some errors in people’s writing, I know people make mistakes, just please be able to write to a decent standard! I generally write the same amount as my partner. However, I won’t write less than ~200 words, so I want to roleplay with people who will write a paragraph or so! I can also write much longer replies with a couple of thousand words totally happily. Naturally I go to the middle of that spectrum, so somewhere between 400-800 words, but I’m pretty lax. ^_^ I write in the third person, and past tense. I have been roleplaying for about ten years, but I’ve taken a long hiatus so I might be a bit rusty! I should get back into the swing of things soon. I am relatively busy in life, but I will respond to our roleplay once or twice a week! I also love ooc chat, and I can respond to that a lot more because it requires less thought, so if you like that too let’s be friends! ^_^

LIMITS

I am 100% chill with dark themes, and I like to include them in my roleplays (though I don’t need dark themes so if you don’t like them no worries!). I also don’t have much in the way of hard limits, as it depends how things are framed. I am happy with you having anything within your character’s backstory. I am not necessarily happy with everything being brought up or described in detail within the roleplay itself. If you want to have a roleplay with dark themes let’s have a chat about it! My comfort level changes depending on how things are framed within the roleplay. I am not comfortable with scenarios such as incest, underage sex, beastiality, etc. You can still have it in your character’s backstory and have it affect them, but I will not roleplay it. I am not interested in age play, or stuff that belongs in a toilet. I am not interested in large age gaps with a character who is a teenager. I am not interested in anything involving pregnancy or terminal illness. I find bdsm scenarios where there is a very dominant man and very submissive woman boring. Switch it up, please. Talk to me about things you’re interested in, whether that be character kinks or dark themes! Then I can tell you specifically what scenarios I’m okay with ^_^

CONTACT I roleplay in quite a few different places. The two places I roleplay most are my gmail and discord. You can contact me through email at [email protected] You can contact me through discord at luminousradiation#6646 I am also happy to roleplay through google docs, tumblr ([email protected]), gaiaonline (luminousradiation) or subeta (NovaQuinn). Although do be warned I may take a while to figure those out as I have rarely used them!

If you're contacting me I recommend you do it on email, tumblr or discord and then we can move to another platform from there; I check the others slightly less often.

THE FUN BIT

So on to what I actually want to roleplay! Below I have listed my fandoms, and genres. I also have a bunch of plots, a wordbank, pairings and song inspiration that can be found here! All of these are just ideas, we can totally change them and plot together! If there’s a ✿ that means I’m craving it! If there’s a ❀ that means I’m really craving it! Even if there’s no symbol I still would love to do it! ^_^

FANDOMS

You can try me on some fandoms not listed, especially since I only use OC’s it’d be quite easy for me to roleplay a fandom I don’t know much about. Not promising anything though!

Dragon Age ❀ - Mass Effect ✿ - Fallout ❀ - Star Wars - Pokemon - Bioshock ✿ - The Wolf Among Us - Vampire: The Masquerade - Dishonored ❀ - D&D - The Walking Dead - Elder Scrolls ✿ - Avatar: The Last Airbender - Remember Me - Studio Ghibli - The Mortal Instruments - Dream Daddy - Lord of the Rings - The Coldest Girl In Coldtown ❀ - Undertale - Borderlands ✿ - The Last of Us - Marvel - DC - Pokemon ✿

GENRES

I honestly like pretty much every genre! I will still write them out but if there’s anything you want to do that’s not here feel free to ask. I’ve categorised them but obviously, a lot fit into multiple categories.

Fantasy - Urban Fantasy ❀ - High Fantasy - Mythology - Fairy Tales ✿ - Dark Fantasy ❀ - Adventure - Dragons ✿ Mystery - Crime - Detective - Paranormal Mystery ❀ - Murder Mystery ✿ Horror - Gothic - Ghosts - Serial Killers ✿ - Demons ❀ Slice of Life Historical - Regency ✿ - Medieval - Victorian ✿ - Tudor - French Revolution - Russian Revolution - Roman ✿ - Viking - Ancient Egypt - The 80s - The 60s - (Try me with another time period I’m pretty chill!) Science Fiction - Dystopia ✿ - Steampunk - Time Travel - Aliens ✿ - Apocalyptic ❀ - Post-Apocalyptic ✿ - Cyberpunk - Robots - Space Travel ✿

I know this was a super long post, thank you for reading it! If you do decide to get in contact here's some things you might want to include in your first message!

What I should call you

What you're interested in

If you want romance and what gender pairings

After last night's S02E08 debacle I went on AO3 to find there is very little S2 fic and exactly FOUR (4) Ani/Ray fics in existence. There is slightly more Frank/Ray (of course. Of course there is). Fandom!! You really drop the ball sometimes when it comes to the het I want to see in the world.

This genre is well out of my wheelhouse and I'd be pants at writing it but WHERE IS THE FIX-IT GDI

Spoilers ho

Idk why I let myself be duped into believing for even .05 seconds in the possibility of a happi endo for Ray and Ani--or even just, yanno, Ray making it out alive--but seriously? I was sure Frank would bite it, and after Sad Closeted Gay Dad* suddenly bit it, I really thought that death + Frank's might be enough blood to sate the wolves of this Dark 'n' Gritty narrative--BUT NO. NO. The moral of the story is "masculinity will fucking kill you"? "Trying to be a dad will fucking kill you"? The whole story was all daddy issues all the time, but not in a fun way.

Anyway, I was on board with Ani and Ray getting together as foreshadowed, even under the DARK CLOUD OF UNRELENTING GRIMNESS, because by the end they are two against the world who have been through life-or-death shit together, "saved each other's lives" precisely as stated, etc. etc. As far as Ray's shitty "my first wife got raped" backstory is concerned, well, Ani is a woman who is more likely to cut a rapist's balls off, shoot the fuck out of him, or bleed out before that happens to her (again), and as far as Ani's incredibly shitty "got molested as a child by some hippie pedo" backstory is concerned, Ray is a dude who has proved himself 100% safe & consenty by not agreeing to sex she tried to initiate when she was high. Not to mention that after he shaved off the pornstache, Colin Farrell was looking plenty doable. Together they fight crime!! (or grittily hopelessly try to, despite CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE). So my feeling about that was "get it, gurl," and Ani did, and for .05 seconds I thought they might both live to escape to Mexico together, even if literally every other character had to die to make it happen lmao--BUT NO.

And what kind of bullshit tragic flaw is "wanted to see own kid one last time"? It's not that I don't think Ray would've done it, but at that point in his character arc I felt he could've just as easily not done it--that it wasn't in fact inevitable that he would take that exit, and therefore the choice to have him do it and get gunned down in a scenic redwood grove--AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD**--by the physical embodiment of unkillable Corruption (TM) was an authorial choice in favor of UNRELENTING GRIMNESS. Miss me with that shit, honestly. (Also, WHY GET IN THE CAR??? WITH THE TRACKER ON IT??? Seriously, Ray, you couldn't shoot the fucking thing off? Or at least disable it? Try to escape on foot? Run, hide, hotwire or hijack another car? I suppose he was trying to avoid collateral damage, but ugh.)

The wimmins getting shuffled off to weep and have babies while the menz do man things and get themselves killed was bullshit, obviously. When Ani got to save Ray from the shootout with Lenny & co. I had hopes the show would do better...BUT NO.

* Bury Your Gays bullshit. Fuck you, show

** "Lol, surely the weird dad dream prophecy will get averted, right? They wouldn't just straight-up have him die getting chased by a bunch of dudes in the woods, right?? RIGHT??????"

Tl;dr there is A LOT TO BE FIXED HERE lmao

#sad pornstache disaster dad #and stabby lady cop #together they fight crime #reader I shipped it #true detective

QUESTIONS

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?

I wrote literally so much this year; I think it came out to be like half as much as I’ve written of all time prior, which is so crazy to me. These past two years I’ve written more than I’ve ever imagined and I hope I can keep it up!

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?

Oh my god there are so many, but I think the most obvious and like also impactful is Kyle Dubas / William Nylander. Honorable mentions go out to John Tavares / Mitch Marner, Sebastian Aho / Cam Ward, and especially to Brent Seabrook / Adam Boqvist. Look, we had a really interesting summer here.

What's your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?

I’m going to go with all my love’s wrapped in red, better known as the Auston/Willy ABO fic with the coca-cola thing. I think it’s my favorite because it’s the fic I’ve literally always wanted to write, like even loooong before I was in hockey fandom, I’ve had this AU concept in the back of my head for literally ever. It was the first long oneshot I ever I wrote and it wasn’t even on purpose, it just happened. I loved every single second of building that AU. And I think it’s the AU that truly truly truly made me fall in love with writing William Nylander. I also put so much of myself in the little things in the fic, and there’s definitely the obvious like easter egg choices, but I maaaay have projected a lot of feelings via Will’s emotions and interpersonal relationships. It’s the kind of thing you wouldn’t notice unless you know me well but like, it makes it that much more personal to me, I guess? Anyway, I am so incredibly proud of that fic. But, honorable mention to a fic (series) that I love for similar reasons, in love and war, the combination of the geneva contract and the toronto purchase which is my canon-compliant Kyle/Willy monster fic.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?

I participated in a lot of exchanges and challenges this year! Which is a risk for me because I’m kind of unpredictable about when I actually make writing happen so the fact that I put out a lot of works that I’m genuinely proud of all on a deadline was an accomplishment for me!

Do you have any fanfic goals for the New Year?

I want to chatfic more and write more fics for my friends. Like, hear me out. I think 2018 was a year of me truly writing fic for myself and not really caring if it was what people wanted to read. I really wrote whatever made me happy and whatever stuff I would genuinely want to go back and read for fun, purely for myself. I think a lot of my time in fandom has been writing fic tailored to appease the whole fandom at large, so having that change in 2018 was extremely important. And I think the effect of that really shows. But now that I’m comfortable in that regard, I want to use fic as something special where I can give back to the people I care about, you know?

My best story

all my love’s wrapped in red

My most popular story

(take a piece of my heart and) make it all your own

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion

It’s hands down for every dreamer a dream (we’re unstoppable)!!!! My super sickening sweet Naz/Willy fic!! It’s literally just 7k of them madly in love and it’s super grossly romantic and heart warming and idk I lowkey think it deserves more love and is just cursed with being a rarepair lmao.

Most fun story

It’s really hard to decide but probably one that had a lot of world building. I think I’m going to go with take a piece of my heart because it was fun writing the plot twists and building up Mitch’s backstory.

Sexiest story

Look, all I’m gonna say is that I wrote a lot of indulgent PWP this year.

Story with the single sweetest moment

I don’t know if this is actually the sweetest moment because I have some very cute scenes in the in love and war universe, but I think it’d be something out of for every dreamer a dream and right now, the sushi date where Naz tries to cheer up Willy is really sticking out for me.

Most "Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story

I really cannot decide if it’s my super unhealthy relationship Kyle/Willy/(Kappy) series or the one where I wrote what’s essentially a pwp daddy kink of a barely 18yo.

Hardest story to write

The hardest was probably for every dreamer because I was so out of my depth in trying to write and characterize Naz and the request was a time period where I hadn’t been following the Leafs very closely just yet. I had to do a lot of background research that you don’t even really see (I just needed it as foundation) and I had to figure out a voice for Naz, all with a deadline while I was living abroad.

Most unintentionally telling story

This sounds so strange but all my love has so much of myself intertwined into the fine details and projection of Willy!!! There’s a lot of my own anxieties and personal conflicts and stressors that are metaphored into Willy’s story. I think you really have to know me to catch them but they’re there and it really is a very vulnerable story for me.
