#blanking on their ship name rn | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Where did Quantic Dream confirm Nines’ personality? The only thing I’ve seen is that they said that Nines’ name would have also been Connor.

Also, yes please on making that post about why reed900 is popular. I missed out on most of the fandom so I’d love to read that.

RK900's Canon Personality

I answered this in a different ask -- hadn't posted it before I received this one, lol -- but it was confirmed in Quantic Dream's 1st Twitch livestream. The same stream they confirmed that Niner's canon name is 'Connor.' It happened only moments apart.

For those of you who haven't seen it: he's canonically, "not likable, not sweet, but intimidating and scary" as well as "a bad guy."

Reasons Why Reed900 is Popular

This will be a long list...

Niner used to be a blank slate before QD told us what his personality was, so ppl could mold him into whatever they wanted.

Some ppl started shipping Reed900 after learning about Niner's canon personality as they realized he could be perfect for Gav.

Some ppl find it more interesting to 'redeem' characters than to write about goody-two-shoes, and canonically, both Gav/Niner are questionable morality-wise.

Some ppl are into 'enemies to lovers' and/or 'the evil power couple.'

In terms of backstories, Gav/Niner are (mostly) blank slates. All we really know about Gav's backstory is that he's "garnered the hatred of his coworkers," hates Hank, hates androids, recently got his scar (confirmed by Neil Newbon + the fact that the scar isn't white,) and doesn't sleep well (eye bags.) All we know about Niner's backstory is that he's the upgraded version of Con.

Happenstance.

Niner is Con's identical twin appearance-wise (aside from the eyes) and some ppl were intrigued by the conflict of Gav falling in love with someone sharing the face with someone he hates.

Some ppl wanted to explore the conflict where Gav had to learn how to think of androids as individuals when realizing how different Niner and Con are.

Some ppl wanted to ship Gav with Con, but Con was already widely shipped with someone else.

Some ppl wanted to ship Gav with Con, but knew it would never work... so they settled for a character who looked similar.

Technically relates to the point above, but Sixty wasn't 'unique enough' for a lot of ppl. Niner was. Both his eye color and outfit are different from Con's.

Some ppl wanted to explore Gav's character in a romantic setting and just picked Niner to do it with.

Both Neil (Gav's actor) and Bryan Dechart (Niner's actor) are very interactive with the fans whilst expressing they have nothing against the ship.

Both Neil and Bryan have essentially 'promoted' the ship by bringing attention to a popular Reed900 fan film.

Neil has interacted with the actors of said fan film on at least one Twitch stream by playing the game with them.

Some ppl started shipping them bc of said fan film.

Some ppl came across (and liked) fan works.

Some ppl think they're hot together.

Some ppl self-insert into Gav/Niner and essentially ship them with themselves (narcissistic, pathetic, and creepy AF.)

Some ppl wanted to 'punish' Gav for simply being mean to fan-favorite Con. They use Niner as an insult to injury sharing Con's face to abuse Gav -- mentally/physically/s*xually -- and put Gav in all kinds of humiliating/awful situations (sadists.)

Some ppl ship them for clout. At least one popular Reed900 3D artist has admitted they couldn't care less about canon Gav and the ship itself. They just care about exposure and how many likes/reblogs, etc. they get posting about the ship bc it's popular.

Those are the reasons I can think of rn.

Meet the Writer

it's munday everybunny you know what that means

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

i love choosing muses that aren’t very. canonically fleshed out. it gives me a lot of opportunity to make them into my own ig :3

raikov is generally a pretty blank slate besides the little we know about him ( being violent / sadistic, being in love with volgin, u kno ) and i think he's potentially a really interesting character from what little we see of him. im personally not ascribed to the eva theory bc i think its kinda silly and robs him of a lot of his personal agency, but it is a common theory, so i kinda wanted to build up a characterisation that was more. faithful to canon rather than fanon u kno. plus sometimes my autism just latches onto specific random characters for no reason and in this case it was raikov JDSFHDFKJ my partner loves raiden and when we were scrolling his wiki page for the funnies obviously raikov's page comes up at the top as a "maybe you meant this" and i just kept coming back to him

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH i hate writing anything with like. eating?? which is ironic considering . raikov . but i just never know how to word it BUT aside from that i think combat is really the only thing ! just cause i feel like it relies heavily on input from both parties and i constantly feel like im overstepping kjshkfjhg

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

fluff angst smut grins. they just come a lot easier to me, especially angst because i always have a LOT to say about silly little internal thought processes and i love writing sadness and pain ^-^ it makes me very gleeful ironically jdkhfdjhg i get very emotionally invested in angst especially. smut is a little bit harder? kinda like with combat ironically it heavily relies on the input of both parties but i do feel for the most part its pretty open ended fun :3

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

i just know. BUT NO SERIOUSLY sometimes it's just Vibes, sometimes it's through reading canon stuff and linking it back to my backstory for him, sometimes it's through interactions with others. there's a lot :3 i do put a lot of thought into my headcanons though, maybe like. too much lmao. but i enjoy it i really love doing a lot of analysis to get to my headcanons

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

a bit of both ! rn i'm writing in silence and i think last night i was mostly writing in silence on my phone and then listening to music while i finished stuff on pc. i think it depends ? sometimes i just get really distracted when listening to music and end up completely neglecting actually writing HDFJGHED so i think overall i prefer silence, or something in the background that i've already seen before so i don't need to pay much attention to it

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

i love winging it :3 i like the unpredictability of it but i think i tend to like. outline ? replies before i actually write them properly. ive never really plotted with anyone besides a vague kinda outline or premise, because i do really like the unpredictability :3 but im always open to plotting grins cutely.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Yes. not just romantic shipping; sexual, enemies, rivals, whatever, idgaf I LOVE CONNECTIONS!!!!!!! i love being able to write relationships between characters. even if its like, familial relationships or whatever, i think it's SO FUN like ourgh. grins really big

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

frances ! it’s not my irl name but the one im most comfortable using online. i also go by rosalind, neo, and vanya :3 one of these is closest to my irl name but youll never guess

ᴀɢᴇ?

22, 23 this year somehow

ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ?

september 17th !

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?

okay, I have couple of things to say regarding all the panic currently in BYLERNATION. (my thoughts are chaotic right now as I am fuming as well you guys so this might sound all messy but hear me out and let me know if you guys agree)

1. Don’t put too much thought into something Noah or Millie says, I have two reasons for that A) Millie has always supported Mileven, She ( sorry to say ) has been biased and it’s fine by me since she is half of that ship. She was apparently also the one to suggested for Mileven kiss at the snowball. Also, she has been quiet during the interviews only talking about her solo plotline and mileven at the beginning of vol1 B) Noah is the biggest spoiler of the series, he literally posted a picture with harness I mean c’mon, also he ships byler we all have seen it.

2. Noah has to stay ambiguous as that is his character arc this season (as sad as that is, I really hoped he had some bigger plotline since his character is secretive and have powers or something) , and his feelings might be like a big reveal in vol2 ending (vecna curse or something). Maybe they are just trying to keep the suspense

3. WHAT OTHER REASON do they have for NOT putting Finn and Noah in the interviews together. They have one fucking interview together. ONE. And that too with Millie of all the people with them. They could have easily put them together with the other two cali boys. They didn’t. Why? IF Byler is not real, just a bromance then WHY DIDN”T THEY NOT PUT 4 BOYS Together in the interviews, not a single interview. That seems purposeful, since we see 4 of them together for the entire season.

4. The actors behaviors, In David’s interview everyone is giggling and smiling especially Finn. SO they are happy about Will’s feelings for Mike? Finn’s comments on Byler, its been confused, nonchalant and downright clueless, just like his character. But his comments about Will’s loves for Mike “its beautiful”.

5. Noah and Finn shipping Byler so casually and easily. Why do that if there is no possibility? Why doesn’t Finn talk more about mileven and how he ships it and be happy about? I have seen his interviews and man he doesn’t look a tiny bit happy when talking or promoting Mileven. I mean, you can be a little bit enthusiastic. BUT he is giggling about Will’s attraction towards Mike ? Make it make sense. + bonus him discussing mileven’s future, whether they are together or seperated ???

Annddd I forgot the part, “um.. yeah, the ship name” the fuck!

6. Now character wise - If Mike’s whole ass problem is not able to say I love you to El then A) That is so fucking dumb lol, that’s the plot for Mike? I would laugh at this point. B) there is zero logic for Mike to be confused because -

its not like El is not his girlfriend and just his friend for him to be afraid.

Its not like he didn’t say I love you before. And as if he doesn’t know whether she loves him or not.

IF I have a boyfriend, we are together, he says I love you to me daily and wants me to say I love you back which mind you, I have already said once, then I am atleast confident that I am not going to be rejected and I should be able to say it back. Even if I am not able to, our conversations would be way different than the once they have in the series, they could have their conversations explicitly and in many other ways. I would assume the writers do know their English lol

5. To emphasis how illogical this is, let’s say he is scared of falling in love and saying I love you then SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME FOLLOWING THINGS

a) why Mike never utters the word ‘love’ during their argument, like why say “i say it” instead of “I love you or ofcourse I love you or you know I do”. And also why say “I care” (my mind is blank rn, I can’t come up with other phrasings but you get my point)

b) what is he so fucking confused about when all he did last season is assert to everyone around them how he is in a relationship, how he has girlfriend , how he LOVES her, how nothing should happen to her not to mention all the making out. I mean, what are you confused about and what exactly are you trying to figure out ???? what is this problem you can’t discuss with anyone, not your sister or your mother or your friends?

c) Why ignore Will? Why lash out on him and emphasis on being friends? Mike doesn’t have an idea about Will’s feelings, so he is not being homophobic. Why not hug him? Mike doesn’t have any problem hugging Dustin. Why not Will? If you missed him so much and felt like you lost him, you would have hugged him when you reunited with him. Why not do that? Why so much awkwardness that even casual viewers picked up on it.

6. Even though Will’s character is hinted to be queer since season 1. Most and I mean MOST of the Byler proofs are from Mike’s side [ Will’s drawings all over his rooms, Tracing Will’s drawing while mourning his death, frantically looking for Will without care for your own life, the entire season 2, all the staring, lip glances, that Byler fight, season 3 end with that smile on Mike’s face ] ITS TOO FUCKING MUCH FOR IT TO BE NOTHING.

7. If they wanted to queerbait us or just talk about Will being unusual and his sexuality “up for interpretation” or let’s say even “Byler unrequited” then they could have easily done it in one season, like Maya Hawke’s character Robin. She comes out and that’s it, nothing changes other than Steve doesn’t have a girlfriend.

Will has a crush, Enter Mileven, Will is crushed and moves on. They add that point to Will’s character and then that’s it move on with the story.

Why stretch it out so much ? Invest so much time and effort into clues, that includes everything from the costume colors, to the props, dialogue phrasings, eye contacts and character placement. The entire Byler interactions could have easily been done differently without changing the storyline at all.

But they don’t. They put all this work.

Not to mention all the social media posts about Byler from official accounts nonetheless.

8. And if you’ve not seen my last post. Levy has said “There aren’t many accidents on the show” “There is clear intention, strategy and real thought given to each and every character” Now if they are saying this, that means ALL THOSE DETAILS were intentional, whatever they did with Byler this season is intentional. And if there is an intention then there must be a goal, an endpoint to achieve.

And unless their endpoint is to queerbait then that is just bad writing, waste of their and our energy and honestly, in 2022 downright homophobic. I mean don’t play with the main characters or do one of the main character so dirty. Not to mention cowardly to succumb to the all the mileven pressure and hype because so far what I have seen in this fandom is mileven shippers are aggressive and they comment ALOT on the official accounts.

9. Going for Mileven Endgame would be straight up fan service because their entire relationship doesn’t make sense to me at all. And with the way its falling apart since season 3. Also, Byler has more history and chemistry tbh

This is all just my personal opinion, you can have your own.

I believe we are going to have all sorts of leaks and confusion for the next month. Remember, they have to keep the buzz for the show going so that people actually watch the next 2 episodes. All the shippers watch the show. They need to keep the hype alive and for people to keep talking about it. Industry(All shows) has employees that track social media. So don’t let this affect your mental health.

And if all the leaks are true then they are just coward, just bad writing (there is no other explanation) who are focusing on the business rather than the story, Or maybe Byler is not that important to them in terms of the entire story which again doesn’t make sense since all the demons, upside down have been many times compared to real life growing up issues.

That’s all for now besties, I might come back and organize my thoughts more properly in this post

#byler #byler is endgame #byler rights

A03 Questions Tag Game

I got tagged by @coffincrows

I tag: @theroyalspiderart and well, anyone who wants to do this (my mind has drawn a blank)

1 – How many works do you have on AO3?

Okay, so, I actually have two ao3 accounts. One I don't use anymore and one I do currently. So I'm gonna count both of them

In total, it's at least 41. (14 on my current account, 24 on the old one, and there's 3 fics I've written that have since been orphaned that I remember having written)

2 – What's your total AO3 word count?

Roughly 150,549, but that's only from the unorphaned works, so it's gonna be a few thousand more, probably more like 152-155k

3 – What fandoms do you write for?

Currently just cotl, but I've written for a bunch of fandoms over the years, like mcyt, tgcf, mha, and a couple other fandoms, although those are the ones I've posted to ao3. Wattpad, where I started tho? Lot more lmao

4 – What are your top five fics by kudos?

I plead the fifth

5 – Do you respond to comments?

Yes!! I try to respond to every single comment I get, I appreciate and love my commenters so much <3

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

I don't remember the name of it, but it was a fic from my old account. I typically don't do angsty endings, so it's rare for me to do

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

Pretty much all of them aldhsha except a few with more ambiguous endings (sorry I'm being so vague)

8 – Do you get hate on fics?

Not that I've seen, no.

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

I've written smut like. 4-5 times in my life (default poses in asexual), and only 2 of them are published to ao3. I have NO CLUE what "kind" of smut it is, but people on both works have described it as "tender" so ig that'll work

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

I do nawt like crossovers much, so I don't write them. Closest I do is aus based off or set in another media's universe, but there's no character meetups

11 – Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not! I have no clue tho

12 – Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! My biggest fic on my old account has been translated a least once or twice (with my permission)

13 – Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not on ao3, no, but I'd like to try it again one day

14 – What's your all-time favorite ship?

Hmmmmmmm. Idk actually, my favorites shift with time. Currently it's narilamb, but it was ineffable husbands a few months ago. We'll see how it changes again in the future

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

Got a couple wips for good omens and mtp but idk if I'll ever finish them, they be sitting

16 – What are your writing strengths?

I've been told my characterizations have been a strong point while reading, but I wouldn't count that as a WRITING strength. I think, to me, my writing strength is setting up an environment

17 – What are your writing weaknesses?

Pacing and endings. I struggle with them every single time.

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

I love it! I wish wish I knew more than English so I'd be comfy doing it myself (bc relying on online translators doesn't seem like a good idea slshs)

19 – First fandom you wrote for?

On ao3? I think mha?? Not sure I must have started posting ao3 fics over 5 years ago at this point (first fandom I wrote for period? Creepypasta fandom, on quotev.)

20 – Favorite fic you've written?

As of rn, maybe "of Harvest, of Celebration, and of Rest". I was so proud of it when I finished, and I love it :]

oh since we’re on the topic of eren, i want to know. as a levi stan yourself, what are your opinions on eren? am i the only one who absolutely despises him? i think there was a point in the plot where he just lost my sympathy. he went from a traumatized little kid to a power hungry piece of shit in a heartbeat. the man is selfish by all means and i’m sure there’s some “deeper meaning” but even after finishing the manga, i just cannot find any sympathy for him. is it just me?

hmm you’re definitely not the only one who absolutely despises him but i’m not one of those people. (also i’m glad u read the manga bc i can talk about spoilers.)

eren is the most confusing character imo in just about every way. i wanna start with season 4 and rule out the interpretation that he was ‘acting’ being cold and cruel and overall murderous (like in liberio). he’s always been like that. ever since he was a kid he was ‘looking up at the sky’ and pretty much waiting for something to happen, hating the walls. and besides what sheltered (based on what we see of grishas parenting) 9 year old commits cold blooded murder two times? both being that type of kid that would do that, but for a girl his age he’s never actually met? mikasa killed the last guy bc it was life or death but eren was wayyyy too comfortable murdering those men, whether they were sex traffickers or ordinary bandits.

so he’s always been That Way. during the 57th expedition, levi literally said that eren is a monster, and not bc he can transform, but that NOTHING will keep him in a cage. fighting the female titan in stohess? bro already had a bloodlust. “it was like i wanted to die.” “IM GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!!!!” the difference between eren’s bloodlust toward the titans in s1-s3 and onward is him learning that there are other people out there and it’s actually the people stopping him from being free. the whole world hates their island. eren wasn’t satisfied by reaching the sea by itself because he wanted more and more, combined with his desire for revenge.

however: eren cared about his friends. that’s why he was so determined for the rumbling test not to be an option when he was 18, it would’ve meant historia becoming a mindless titan (i think? i just remember historia would’ve been harmed) and he was genuine during the cart scene when he didn’t want anyone to inherit his titan. he meant it when he said he’d always wrap mikasa’s scarf, and he DIDN’T mean it when he said he hated her in s4. that part was acting. idk if i have to drudge up every moment that proves eremika care about each other (shipping aside).

anyway, and when he learned sasha died? he knew it was going to happen - the overall ‘timeline’ of aot is very linear. remember all the flashes of the future at the end of s3p1, the start of s3p2, the start of s2? there are other moments but i’m getting off topic - and he’d laughed bc that’s how eren expresses tremendous grief caused by his own worthlessness. same thing happened when hannes died in s2.

so eren cared about his friends.

MANGA SPOILERS!

hell, arguably eren cared about every innocent person. when he learned he was gonna kill the kid in marley (totally blanking on his name rn sorry), he kneeled in front of him, crying and apologized. that’s another reason i think that the aot timeline is linear. that for 2,000 years, this was set to happen (hence the title of the first episode and the episode where eren goes to paths with zeke). so in a way, EREN is a SLAVE to no one but himself. he didn’t know any of that until he kissed historia’s hand and got all the memories of the future.

about that: when eren kissed historia’s hand and saw the future, he saw up until the moment he starts the rumbling. he didn’t see that his friends would fight him. he didn’t see that he’d lose. i think that’s more proof eren cared about his friends. he knew about sasha, but he couldn’t stop her from dying. when he learned everything that was going to happen, he became so detached bc he knew it was all inevitable.

the person eren is, he would stop at nothing to get ‘freedom’. at his core, he’s malicious and like you said selfish by all means, but he’s not a psychopath either. he thought he had good intentions, and then he had to fully embrace the monster he is. he went from going fucking ballistic at reiner and bert and screaming that they weren’t human anymore to becoming inhuman himself. he’s so fucking complicated.

AND THEN. the final chapter. eren knowing the future must’ve included his knowledge that he sent dina to kill his own mom and start this story. eren knew that he MADE grisha kill rod’s family and steal the founding titan. (more reasons he became detached.) he tells armin that paradis will know peace thanks to 80% of humanity dying, but armin in eren’s last moments acted like he was thankful despite knowing how shit that excuse is, and eren must know it too. a few years of peace and all that environmental damage for what? when the world recovers, it again will try to kill paradis. HELL in the extra pages, we see paradis become a fucking fascist military state. eren didn’t activate the rumbling to protect his friends. eren tried to avoid it to protect his friends.

but it was inevitable. and at the end? he’s a slave to himself. he’s a selfish, immature, pathetic and malicious little brat, the same as he always was. he doesn’t want mikasa to forget about him boo hoo bro. but did he cry about it in front of armin bc eren had any control of beginning the rumbling, sasha dying, etc. and he’s just that horrible? or bc he had no control, and he pushed armin and mikasa away to save them from himself. that could be pretty open to interpretation i think?

so all that said, do i think it’s wrong for u anon or anyone else to hate him? lol absolutely not. even tho i don’t, that’s one of the main themes of aot. there is no black and white. everyone has their one intentions and reasons, and some you can understand, but forgive, some you can understand and can’t forgive, some you can not understand and can forgive. me personally, i can find sympathy for eren, i can understand, but his actions are still unforgivable (even if you simply counted him making that jab at levi that one time on the airship about the letter🔪/hj).

#there might be other things i’m forgetting #but yeah #aot analysis #snk manga #if anyone’s confused or wanna learn more abt what i mean in a better explained way #i’ll rb this with a good yt video

hi hello for se ask gameee :3

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

🍄 (any Fyodor ship): Fyodor likes being smothered with affection in private and doted on but will not let on to wanting it or being needy initially (to varying degrees depending on the person or situation) until he melts and reveals he is in fact, incredibly needy.

🥐: I've forgotten all internet references I have never laughed in my life. Kidding of course, so I didn't want to keep trying to think of something since this has made my mind go blank for some reason which is nonsense because there would definitely be numerous answers for me for this. And I can't recall a single thing now. Stage fright or something idk. All I can think of rn are old vines used in crack videos repeatedly. I'm so sorry.

Ask game

#i feel like i did a bad job answering these but still #ty for the ask johnny 💜🙏#-Lue asks #ask game

NAME : renee! c: ( government-assigned actual middle name fbnskdj )

PRONOUNS : they / she

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : ims on tumblr was the normal for me cause i never really did disc til this blog but i Am mostly chatting on disc nowadays. i can be slow / notifs may be funky so i always say to not like... get upsetti if i take a bit to reply or i forget to my mind is an actual fog-haze most of the time, time to me gets very hazy and i wont really realize days have passed me by at times so. i ask patience for that front c;

NAME OF MUSE(S) : oh hell, we are primarily in Texas Trenches here so...... maria & ana flores, danny [ alejo-osorio, not 'gaines' ugly ass name- ], Mother nancy s.awyer, thomas h.ewitt / le.atherface, our mom luda mae he.witt, elizabeth 'birdie' callaway [ oc ], constance 'simmi' simone [ oc ] + my other trials kiddos.

EXPERIENCE / HOW LONG ( MONTHS / YEARS? ) : writing in general - since 3rd grade. rping here on tumby - since about.... 2014.....? idk really. its been at last 10+ yrs. ive been in a couple different r.pcs but horrors' typically been such a home to return to.

BEST EXPERIENCE : point blank all honesty? these last 2-3 months since i came back. genuinely. like ive had a good share of fun and silly moments over the years yes. but. something about the mutuals ive met coming back from a near 2 yr hiatus to this blog has been really heartwarming to me. i havent had remotely as welcoming or fun and silly times connecting with the actual people behind the blog, behind the muse, as i have here. i never had so many wild out of pocket verses or ships, never had affiliates/mains/etc, never had near as much fun plotting or simply gushing over muses and their dynamics in those 10+ yrs being here on and off than i have in this lil texas corner of the horror r.pc. like the last few years have Not Been Kind in my offsite life, and having a massive writers block due to offsite struggles for those years near killed my love for writing as a whole - not just rping but just. writing in general. and while that blocks still not fully gone rn ( staring my 100+ inbox rn in the fucking eyes ) just? the fact that i feel alot more connected to a point with those ive met here this time around has genuinely made me feel alot happier in these few weeks than i have in quite a while. so far this takes the cake by a complete landslide in terms of best experiences ♡ and much of that is very much thanks to those mutuals.

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : look. ive been here a long time. ive been part of r.pcs that have had alot of shit stirred in it. im going to be 30 in january lmao and my offsite life has more than enough of its fair fucking share of bullshit. i dont have the mental nor emotional capacity to deal with the kinds of online pettiness or silliness that has cropped up. ive had more of my share in people who are ma.nipulative, ab.usive, etc that i dont really care to engage with in a space that i really try hard to ensure stays as peaceful and as much of a solace to myself as possible. if you're chill and just here to vibe? then we're completely gucci lol. but i dont respond well in the slightest to guilt trips, or passive aggressive attempts at getting interactions or anything. it makes me wildly uncomfortable - seen it too much, deal with similar way too much w people in my offsite life and im honestly so tired and jaded to it all. im here to chill, chat about muses, go to Texas, just. relax and take it easy. got enough shit goin' on offsite as is let me just have fun here :') like literally just. read my rules, dont push me or my boundaries, let us just have a good time and chill leave the petty shit at the door im begging.

MUSE PREFERENCES FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT : okay look- FNJKS my go-to, my habit, is always gonna be Angst / the horrors. its been that way for many years. you can ask my offsite co-writer/friend, she's literally been Tormented by me for nearly two decades now- FKJSDA but seriously, it doesnt entirely matter. angst, fluff, horror, etc etc like. i enjoy where the character takes me - if its gearing towards angst? then imma be as heartbreaking as possible. if its sweet fluff? i hope you like cotton candy cause im stuffing an entire blob of it in your mouth like- i just enjoy the dynamics between characters and where that can lead them - and i fucking love the dynamics the pals and i have been cooking these few weeks theyre delicious and i love them all ♡ smut however..... my enemy. nfsjdk its noted already in my rules im not gonna go into it but. smuts only vaguely referenced on a sideblog that im keeping to a very small pool of people im comfortable with so; i over-criticize my writing it & constantly delete/restart it so. dont expect to see me post anything here on main anymore re: smut fgnsdkd

PLOTS OR MEMES : funny how it used to be strictly memes but, ive found myself after returning heavily preferring at least SOME plotting before i feel comfortable just winging it in responses. c; its not required, nor necessary, but it helps to be chatting at least ooc about the muses so i have a better idea of how to write something out.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : OKAY SO LOOK- i cannot begin to say how unhinged my fucking writing has been overall here cause truly? my responses on other blogs used to be so minimal??? read: NORMAL. and yet here i am now in this little corner dishing out fuckin' novels half the time like who the fuck am i- lmao its been so much fun building those longer responses up tho like?? and the fact that ya'll enjoy them so much makes me happy but also i am Sorry not only for the novels in my responses but also my novel tangents in dms like goddamn i dont know how to shut-

BEST TIME TO WRITE : for me it used to be solely in the dead of night cause thats when all the day chaos finally quieted down but. now for the most part its just. whenever i get a burst of energy and motivation to.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : uhh................. if i HAD to choose its like... maybe a gentle mix of danny / simmi / ana? mostly simmi in terms of just. resting bitch face, keeps to themself, idk fnsdk but overall not? really? they got some shared snippets that i do but as more of an overall? not in the slightest i think lol

TAGGED BY : scruffed from across the dash from kels uwu TAGGING : literally any of ya'll if you wanna do it too c:

#cant believe i had to put a readmore on this cause i can never just Write something of Normal Fucking Length- FSBK #[ 𝟎𝟎 ] ── * 𝐎𝐎𝐂. { renee. }

Silent Reading was so good I can't. I can't get over it

I can't. I can't believe Justice in the Dark just... cmon universe work a miracle man...

Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou are like truly some of my favorite couple dynamics ever. I was absolutely enamoured. I need like 500,000 more words of just them

Need me a sequel where they just solve some more murders and fei du proves he just Can't stay out of the Meddling With Crime business, and his whole side organization is run by those 2 friends I ship (who's names I'm blanking on rn) and Luo Wenzhou almost gets in political trouble because it comes out a CEO of a private company (fei du) has been reading all his evidence notes

#feizhou #silent reading #lb #im thinking again about all the au ideas i had #but mostly just. god i usually do not like the dom sub domestic daddy kink thing at ALL but theyre the epitome #of that exact tjing delivered exactly in the best way to appeal to me and i need 500k more of it! and more! ;-;#rant

tell me about ur fnac oc I already love them

WAHOO YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM JUMPING FOR JOY

putting it under a read more bc i dont wanna clog peoples dashes with this long ass oc post LOLL

uhh ok so. her name is ivory (obviously) and shes from the fnac 2 era so shes lived in the gross ugly abandoned factory her whole life lol

her parents (cindy and blank) built her out of whatever they could find in the factory so shes kind of an amalgam of various parts from different generations of candys. thats not reflected very well in the way i draw her but trust me. it definitely was not something i thought of after i had already redesigned her

its also why shes missing an eye + the suit part(???) on one arm, they jsut couldnt find anything lmaoo. shes technically unfinished but shes Functional so whatever

shes also missing the suit part on her shins similar 2 withered blank so she covers that up with the leg warmer thingies i guess

i wish i wasnt too stupid to learn 3d modeling so i could better explain what i mean + make her real but alas. my brain is so tiny

also shes like. idk. almost as tall as blank maybe. abt the same height as the rat i guess

like assuming the thank u image is height accurate this is what i mean

shes a tad insecure abt her height bc she towers over like. every single other animatronic except for her dad LMAO

i like to imagine she was present during fnac 2 and she was jsut hiding on another floor or somethijng. secret ivory easter egg

that also means she burned along with her parents at the end of the game this is so sad

unsure if shes killed people. thatd be funny tho

i imagine shed be kinda scared of humans after being told abt what happened to blank in the first game. so idk

idk if i wanna make this littel fucker canon to her lore but i like their dynamic. so maybe. all i know rn is he jsut shows up outta nowhere and theyre somewhat close bc she sucks at socializing with literally anyone outside of immediate family

if its not obvious im jsut pulling stuff outta my ass + listing off whatever i can remember comign up with whilst walking around my house to music like an insane person

ivory is the result of 12 year old me liking the worst ship ever and then stealing someones oc so shes not meant to be taken that seriously. coherent character traits/lore/whatever is not my main priority LMAOO

anyways thajnk u for asking abt her and giving me an excuse to ramble abt my beloved creature bye

#i heart ivory from fnaf #i havent thought abt her relationship with her mom that much tbh #i think shed be closer with her dad just bc a good chunk of the parts shes made of were taken from the gen hes from. yknow #also he can relate 2 being fucked up and ugly /joke #im resisting the urge to make her transfem and/or sapphic im so normal #anyways ive been talking too long oops

Apropos of nothing I really like your fics they give very warm very cozy vibes and just generally sweet.

Unrelated, I was wondering if you have any Smosh ships you can't get behind? Like is there a dynamic you really don't feel (generally or in the romantic sense) etc

awww ty!! that is exactly the kind of vibe i wanna give off so i appreciate it <3333

ykw idk if there's anything specifically im like. No for. like there's a couple that im just Not as into but i keep coming up with like the most random combinations that i don't think are gonna be unpopular opinions in any way. i'll put a couple under the cut. they're mostly just things im not warmed up to Yet but still have time to get there? but i will say i really enjoy the entire cast and there are no dynamics i can think of off the top of my head that im uncomfortable with / against in any way. some of these are just. Meh to me.

now, dynamics i Like as friendships but just don't like romantically is a whole other ask. i could get into that if we want (ive got a lot of fast and hard opinions KLNDKLNFLNF) but for rn below the cut are some dynamics that just Don't excite me as much in general:

anthony & the newer cast - now don't get me wrong. there are exceptions to the rule (he had immediate chemistry with both jackie and angela imo) and im not like. a hard Never on this. but most of it hasn't clicked for me yet. i'll warm up i think i'll get there

olivia & noah - i love ALL the og smosh gang but this, for some reason, just never grew on me as much as literally every other dynamic. idk they're fine i guess but i don't feel any kind of strong way

damien & arasha - maybe it's because most of the new cast is in sword af and arasha isn't. maybe it's because i haven't watched legacy. idk. this is just giving nothing.

noah & amanda - i saw these two on a dynamics tier list and i was confused. i don't think i remember them specifically interacting ever. is this just me are they secretly bffs and i'm just blanking

tommy & ian - once again this is like looking at two names just next to each other.

once again all of these are just fine just like. nothing to me. i am looking but not perceiving.

#shipping #ask #asks #anon #anonymous #i am always open to these though its just rn im like. this means nothing.#anyway lmk if you want me go into my notps bc that is a different discussion i feel like #i still Enjoy those dynamics just in a different way ya know

You said I could rambles about Rexanidala @ you so here we are, i hope you won't regret your choice ❤️

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL you have the characters aka the canon couple (Anakin Skywalker & Padmé Amidala that i think most people know at least from names?) and then you have Rex aka Captain Rex aka Anakin's right hand man during the Clones Wars and LISTEN in general i love their relationship but if you add poly to it??? -chefkiss-

Like listen you have one of the most powerful Jedi, one of the most badass & kindest Senator & one of the best Clones Officer around there, you put them in a room together, and they lost all their braincell and something ends up in fire. There's so much raw chaos in them. They're so competent but they forget everything when you put them together. They just go and cause so many problem, they're probably the reason why Mace Windu decided to stay bald and why Obi-Wan Kenobi ended up grey that young.

Various exemple of their chaotic energy: the very classic "someone is trying to assassinate me so I'm gonna go into the lion's den and almost get killed, i mean i did take my Jedi bodyguard with me after all—" from one Padmé Amidala; "one of my friends got killed so I'm gonna resolve his murder even if it's not my job" from the same Padmé Amidala; "imma gonna crash this ship on the enemies bc why not" by Anakin Skywalker (self-proclamed best pilot of the Galaxy); "imma gonna give my lightsaber to my very secret wife to prove to her how much i love her and oooops there's a hostage situation and i don't have my weapon anymore" by, again, Anakin; "I'm gonna shot point blank at a clone bc he was acting suspicious and I'm not telling anyone and especially not my superior officer why i did that — hey look it was a droid i was right lol" by Rex; "you know what since droids want to pretend they're us I'm gonna pretend I'm a droid in clone armor" by Rex AGAIN; and, obviously, the whole "Padmé & Anakin are married but it's a secret so obviously we're gonna kiss everywhere, give lovesick at each other all the time, acting all lovey-dovey and/or jealous when with each other, to the point that even our enemies know we have something going on", to the "Rex for some reasons knows about their relationship and is trying to cover for them but he's really not any better than them in the art of lying and/or pretending he has no idea what's going on". They're disasters and i love them <3

ALSO Re: the last part, there's a whole scene where 1) Anakin is like "hey Rex come on we have something to do -wink wink wink-" IN FRONT OF SOME OF THEIR MEN 2) Rex is like "srly, rn now??" And Anakin insists and i swear when you watch this scene without context........ so gay 3) Anakin uses Rex's helmet to call Padmé "in secret" (re: they're so bad at keeping it a secret) and Rex is keeping guard 4) while they are talking, and despite the fact that they haven't seen each other in months and haven't been able to talk to each other a lot, Anakin asks advices to Padmé bc he's worried about Rex and wants to help him 4) Padmé knows Rex & the way he think enough to reassure Anakin and she's also worried about Rex but trusts him 5) LISTEN THEY'RE IN LOVE I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.

Anakin/Padmé is pretty much established but it's like,,,, so easy to add Rex to their couple??? Like, ofc Anakin is close with him, he's his most trusted man and his right hand man!! He knows him & cares for him & trusts him everything and everyone he hold dear!!! But also Rex & Padmé bonded in their own way!! Like, mainly, they got infected by a dead virus together and almost died, which, u know, is always a good way to bond with your future wife <3 And they're obviously friends!! And i absolutely believe they team-up to stop Anakin from doing his most stupid ideas lmao (at least when it's not their brand of chaos and thus they enable him ofc).

ALSO there's Ahsoka!!! She's Anakin's Padawan so obviously she's close to him, and bc she goes to war with him she's also close to Rex (and the rest of their men, tbh it always kills me a little how they all care for each other)!! He gives her advices and takes care of her and supports her!!! And they obviously love each other a lot!!! Rex's love for Ahsoka literally saved her life during Order 66 idkdjdj I'm so normal about it. BUT ALSO she's close to Padmé!!! Padmé is her friend!! She follows Padmé on stupid mission she decided to do herself and uses as justification "Anakin told me to stay with her to learn politic :D" kdjdjdjdj anyway she's at the same time their little sister and their kid and i LOVE IT.

Also there's so much angst potential. Like, Rex survived the end of the war but neither did Anakin nor Padmé. Rex didn't know Luke & Leia were their children. He was robbed of his kids' whole life!!! Rex didn't know about Anakin being Darth Vader either!! (He had a suspicion but no real answer.) How do you want me to be normal about it???

And in a Palpatine-slips-on-a-banana-peel-and-dies au, they can just raise the twins together and they would be even more chaotic that they already are in canon <3 but also i think they deserve it. As a treat.

Anyway i love them so much and we're like five out there shipping them but IT'S FINE. MY LIVE WILL NOT DIE.

thank you <3

(sponsored by the show Star Wars: the Clones War)

Thank you so luch for rambling @ me about ur blorbos i love when ppl are sonpassionate about stuff they love

His Smile

Non-Marvel Masterlist - Main Masterlist

POV: Third

Fandom: Renegades Trilogy by Marissa Meyer

Ship: Nova/Adrian

Type: Fluff

Wordcount: 1,735

TW: Mention of gambling

Synopsis: Nova's uncle sends her off to boarding school.

Day 5 of AU-gust: "Boarding School"

I'm still reading the third book rn, so there aren't any spoilers like you could read the first book and read this without getting spoilers except maybe a minor character name that won't really matter.

A/N: Dude i got a major spoiler by looking up the character list for some background names, wtf... I'm pretty pissed off but just know I'm doing this for you guys so, just know I <3 You guyssss 😭

Nova grabbed her bags, grunting from the weight of her duffel. She had tried to stuff as many of her inventions as she could, but that caused her bags to be a lot heavier than she expected.

“Have a great school year.” Her uncle said, shutting the trunk of his car. “Yeah, whatever.” Nova mumbled, watching her uncle wave goodbye to her as she mimicked the gesture with a blank stare.

Ace didn’t actually care, hence the whole reason she was sent off to boarding school in the first place. He was more interested in hanging out with his ‘friends,’ going gambling or doing other stupid shit that Nova didn’t want to be a part of. She didn’t like most of his friends anyway, the only two she didn’t mind were Honey and Leroy.

Nova took her bags, walking through the entrance of Gatlon Preparatory School with a scowl. There was absolutely no way she was going to enjoy the school year.

Kids were already pouring in the school, meeting up with their friends from the previous years. Although she wasn’t a freshman, this was her first year at the school. Last year, Ace had wanted to enroll her, but he didn’t have the money to do so. She figured that he must have won a bet or something to afford the school, leading to her impending doom.

The school staff had people going through metal detectors with their bags, and Nova hesitantly got in line. When she went through the detector, it beeped and flashed red, and the security guard had Nova step over to the side to search her bags.

The guard frowned as he went through Nova’s belongings, putting some of her inventions to the side as he looked through the rest of her bags. “I’m sorry, but we can’t permit you to have these on campus.”

“But those are my inventions, I made them!?” She argued, but the guard just shook his head. “I can put them aside in a room so at the end of the year, or on a break, you can take them home, but you can’t bring them inside.”

Nova scowled, but nodded as the guard went through the rest of the bag, luckily not taking any more of her inventions. Once he was finished, he closed the bags, handing them back over to Nova. “What’s your name, so I can make sure these get back to you?”

“Nova Artino.” She replied, and the guard nodded, sending Nova on her way. Nova glanced at her watch, which she had made herself, to look at the time. It was nine-thirty, and according to the paper she had been handed at the door, there was a schoolwide introduction at 10 o’clock, followed by a mandatory “icebreaker” session. Nova had no clue what that would entail, but she didn’t like the sound of it.

She began to make her way to the auditorium, where the introduction was going to be held. She had to dodge several groups of people-who weren’t looking where they were going-and someone ended up crashing into her.

Nova stumbled backward, her hands instinctively landing on the boy’s shoulders and righting herself before she fell onto the pavement. “Watch it!” She grumbled, and the boy looked at her apologetically.

“I’m so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going, my fault.” He said, and Nova rolled her eyes, continuing on her path.

“Wait!” The boy called, following Nova, who turned around with a raised eyebrow. “What?” She asked, annoyed.

The boy caught up to her, shrugging. “Just- I haven’t seen you around before, is this your first year here?” He asked, and Nova hesitated before nodding.

“Well, nice to meet you, I’m Adrian.” He said, holding his hand out. Nova took his hand, giving it a firm shake. Adrian looked at her, expecting her to introduce herself as well, so Nova sighed and said, “Nova.”

Adrian repeated the name, smiling. “Pretty name.” He said, and Nova twisted her bracelet around with a shrug. “Well then, Nova, I’ll see you around.” Adrian said, before walking off.

Nova shook off the conversation, continuing towards the auditorium. Nova had a feeling she wasn’t going to survive the amount of social interaction this school was going to require.

~~~~~

“Alright.” Hugh Everheart, the school’s headmaster, said on the stage. “Now we are going to separate you all into groups based on which section you are sitting on. I have one prefect sitting in each section that will lead your group outside to start icebreakers, so you all can get to know each other a bit better.”

Nova was not in the mood to get to know anybody better, but she recognized the fact that she didn’t have much of a choice.

The headmaster gestured for a boy in the front of her section to stand up. “Starting with section A, you will follow Adrian out to the courtyard.” The boy from earlier stood up, waving at her section with a smile that unsettled Nova for some reason.

She grudgingly followed the group led by Adrian, spilling out into the courtyard. Adrian clapped his hands, getting the group's attention. “Alright, so to get started, we’re going to do the name game.”

Several people groaned, including Nova. “I know, I know.” Adrian said, waving his hands. “But it’s essential for us to learn each other's names in order to get to know each other. Now because there are so many of us, I’m going to separate you guys into two groups, so me and a few others are going to go around and give you a number.”

After a few minutes of handing out numbers, Adrian got to Nova, smiling as he saw her. “Hey Nova!” He said, enthusiastically. “Alright, you’ll be in group one with me.” He said, and Nova forced herself to smile.

“Great.” She said, attempting to make it sound as genuine as possible. She had nothing against Adrian, but she wasn’t super keen on making friends with him either, and she got the vibe he wasn’t going to let her sit in seclusion.

Adrian clapped his hands together once more to get the group’s attention. “Alright, group one with me, and group two go over there with Ruby.” Adrian pointed over to a girl with black-and-white hair, who raised her hand so everybody could see where to go.

The groups separated, and Nova trudged over to Adrian and the rest of group one. “Okay.” Adrian said, having the group form a circle. “Now, for those who haven’t played before, how the name game works is each person will first say their name. Then, they have to repeat all the names that were said before them.”

A couple of people looked confused, so Adrian tried to better explain by using an example. “For example, if I’m first, I’d just say my name ‘Adrian.’” He pointed to Nova, whose eyes widened a bit, as he continued. “Let’s say Nova here goes next. Nova would say her name, and then my name. Can you do that for us, Nova?”

“Nova. Adrian.” She said, uncomfortable under the gaze of everyone looking at her. “Exactly!” Adrian said, drawing the attention away from Nova.

“Any questions?” He asked, but nobody voiced a question. “Great, I’ll start. I’m Adrian.” He pointed to the girl next to him, who then said, “Danna, Adrian.”

They went down the circle, eventually getting to Nova. “Nova,” She said, trying to recall all the other names. “Fiona, Maggie, Narcissa, Millie, Dan, Danna, Adrian.” She said, reciting each name perfectly.

Adrian smiled at her, something Nova believed he was beginning to do too much. “Perfect!” He said, giving Nova a little clap that embarrassed her.

They continued around the circle, and at last, it was over. Adrian dismissed the group, and Nova tried to sneak away, but he spotted her and went to go talk to her. “Hey, Nova! Glad to see you again.”

Nova feigned a smile. “Yeah, definitely.” She lied, but Adrian clearly bought it, as he went on. “I wanted to introduce you to some of my friends.”

As he was talking, three people came up to them. She recognized two from earlier-Ruby and Danna-but there was also a boy who she hadn’t seen.

“Guys, this is Nova, she’s new here this year.” Adrian said, introducing her to his friends. Ruby smiled, shaking Nova’s hand. “Great to meet you, Nova, I’m Ruby. We need an extra hand to keep Adrian here in check.”

“Hey!” Adrian said, but Ruby just winked at Nova. The boy beside Ruby introduced himself next. “I’m Oscar.” He said, tipping his hat to Nova.

“Danna.” Danna said, nodding to Nova. Nova nodded back, a bit intimidated by Danna, but she shook it off.

“Nice to meet you all.” Nova said, still feigning her smile. Adrian checked his watch, and Nova did the same. “They’re about to serve lunch in the cafeteria, if you wanna join us?”

Nova was about to decline, but her stomach grumbled. She was definitely hungry, and she had no clue how the school lunch worked, nor where the cafeteria was. To avoid making a fool of herself, she accepted the offer and followed the group off into the cafeteria.

She chastised her aloofness, attempting to appear a bit more warm. Maybe, she would be able to make friends here. Maybe, she wouldn’t have to hide in the shadows anymore.

~~~~~

“Nova?” Adrian asked, staring at her from his seat beside her. “Hm?” Nova responded, snapping out of her trance.

“You okay?” Adrian asked, looking slightly concerned as he grabbed Nova’s hand. Nova nodded, giving a genuine smile.

“Yeah, I’m okay. I was just… remembering the time we first met.” She admitted, and Adrian smiled back at her. “You know, I used to think your smiles at me were annoying.”

Adrian gave a mock scoff, pretending to be offended. “How could you think that?! My smile is amazing, thank you very much.”

Nova laughed, glancing at the stage where her peers were graduating. Her uncle wasn’t in attendance, but she didn’t care. Everyone she needed was right there with her, and she knew that by glancing around at her friends, and her boyfriend.

“So much has changed since then.” Nova whispered, and Adrian leaned over and kissed Nova on the cheek. “I sure would hope so.”

“After all, who doesn't love Adrian Everhart’s smile?!”
