#but theres two more chapters So

[modernbaseball]

Fighting off both the sickness and the fear, Frodo gripped Sam's hand.

Then as he stood, darkness about him and a blackness of despair and anger in his heart. it seemed to him that he saw a light: a light in his mind, almost unbearably bright at first, as a sun-ray to the eyes of one long hidden in a windowless pit. Then the light became colour: green, gold, silver, white.

#by FAR my favorite chapter in the two towers #well. maybe if i thought about it some more id change my mind but it feels like its my favorite #i ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i liked making this piece it went thru a lot of changes and at times i was like omg this will be awesome #and now its like. well i wont be negative. now its finished so hooray #i fucking NEVER use color theres a folder of trial and error behind this one lol. lets say the hue changer helped me a lot here #ONE THING I DO STILL LIKE IS MY STING REDESIGN #sorry to be a hater but i dont love the movie sting i think it should be cuter. sorry. #ok ill stop. ill stop #lotr #lord of the rings #lord of the rings fanart #sam gamgee #frodo baggins #jellybeans #samfrodo #if youre on mobile zoom in to my sting handle. i think its pretty cool alright

Monaca hasn't left the pod room since Monokuma appeared in the simulation. She refuses to talk to anyone and only eats when Chiaki is the one to deliver the food. Otherwise, she spends her time hovering over Nagito's pod.

After months of being left to her own devices, Chiaki finally decided to do something and forced Monaca to get some proper rest, and dragged her over to the hotel. She resisted the entire way there, but once her back hit the bed she was out like a light.

She slept for a long time. The next day, she kept laying in bed, far too tired and sore from bending her back leaning over the pod for days on end. She still refused to talk to anyone, but she accepted food more easily and actually played on the 3DS Chiaki had given her.

Even though Monaca had been moved to her own cottage, the pod room was rarely empty. Hajime spent a considerable amount of time doing everything in his power to make Nagito wake up, barely sparing a minute for breaks or meals.

Hajime was the only one on the room when a hiss came from the only used pod still in the room. He rushed over and stood close by, prepared to greet the last of the group to wake. The hatch opened and Nagito slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was hazy for a few seconds, before recognition sparked and he focused entirely on Hajime.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Hajime wanted to make sure he was fully aware before saying anything else. "Ahh, Izuru Kamukura... No, you're... Hajime Hinata... right?" Nagito's voice was rough from misuse, but still held the same soft and breathy feel it always did. He raised his left hand up, silently asking Hajime for help getting up. Without hesitation, Hajime grabbed it and dragged Nagito up until he was sitting up. "They're both me."

"I suppose I should thank you for waking me up? I knew you'd make it to the lowest stratum- I believed in you." Nagito slowly looked up as he talked. "How are the others?" Seeing that he was the same as usual, Hajime smiled. "You're the last one out." At having the others well-being confirmed, Nagito smiled gently. "I'm glad."

"Ah, speaking off... I need to tell them you're awake. Monaca has been worried sick over you, you know. She's been hovering over your pod constantly, Nanami only managed to drag her out a few days ago." At the mention of Monaca, Nagito's face shifted to surprise. "...Monaca-san has been worried...? For... me?"

"Yeah. I'm sure she'll want to see you as soon as possible. I'll send a text to Nanami and she'll bring Monaca here, how does that sound? I doubt you want to be alone right now." Hajime had already brought out his phone and started typing as he spoke. "They'll be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open and Monaca wheeled herself over to Nagito as fast as she could. "...B-big Bro...? You're awake? Really, really awake? You... you..." Her voice wavered as tears gathered in her eyes. "You... big... MEANIE!!! You left Monaca all alone! You were supposed to be with Monaca all the time, but you didn't! You liar! Liar liar liar! Don't ever scare Monaca like that again! You're not allowed! Not allowed not allowed not allowed!!!!"

Monaca launched herself into Nagito's arms as she continued to cry out all her frustrations. From a short distance, Hajime and Chiaki stood and watched the tear-filled reunion, happy to finally have everyone back. "...It's a relief to have Komaeda-kun finally back. He was alseep for so long... I had almost began to lose hope." Hajime put his arm on her shoulder. "...Yeah, I get that. I knew he'd wake up eventually, though. It's Komaeda, you know? Things are never easy with this guy, but they tend to work out. One way or another."

Chiaki focused her attention back to Nagito and Monaca, noting that the crying had quieted down to small sobs. The little girl looked tired, but refused to fall asleep just yet. "...Hey hey, Komaeda-kun. We should probably get you moved into one of the cottages now. The pod can't be very comfortable, and we need to do a proper check-up, too."

"And we need to figure out what to do about the hand. You can't keep it, but removing it will be difficult. ...Souda and I will have to prepare a prosthetic replacement too." While Monaca kept her face buried in Nagito's stomach, the man in question turned his attention back to Hajime and Chiaki, smiling at them. "...I don't understand why you'd go so far from someone like me but... I... appreciate it."

"Don't talk like that. You're our friend too, of course we'd do all of this for you." Hajime had an expression that implied something beyond just 'friends', but maybe he was just too embarassed to say it.

Chiaki looked forward to the peaceful times to come.

ik im late to the game here (literally) but i started playing yakuza 0 the other day and im kind of obsessed with the juxtaposition of kiryu being a relatively simple guy who says what hes thinking vs majima being a case study in code switching

#like they r parallels in other ways for sure #but watching majima switch how he talks every time he speaks is so interesting #i only just started chapter 5 so i know theres more coming and idk practically anything about this series #but in that detail already i can tell the writers put a lot of thought into personal voice for these characters #like i feel like itd be easy to just make two of kind of the same guy for a story like this but they for sure didnt #yakuza 0 #yakuza

Listening to the V7 director commentary for the first time and I almost dropped my jaw when I heard Luna call the racist drunkards the "faces of Mantle" like??

You want these two assholes to represent all of Mantle yet expect the audience to give a shit when it's threatened? Fuck em and fuck Mantle!

#rwde #also why tf did they want to keep floating atlas a secret so bad? #it's not worth keeping secret considering it means jack shit #'ooo the city floats' okay AND???? the most yall did w it was make it fall to destroy two major cities and dehome a gazillion people #people that the audience never knew and cant give a flying fuck abt #iirc the only speaking roles of *actual* mantle people were either racist douche canoes or a joke #why tf was that activist so looney if we're supposed to think positively of Robyn? i wouldnt trust a politician if that was her support #esp if her v first on screen appearance is an attempted ambush on our heroes!!! #i was genuinely shocked to learn i was supposed to trust her bc everything in the framing was telling me hell fucking no #the only framing that helps her is being pitted against Jacques so cartoonishly which is hardly a feat #a grimm would look good compared to jacques #deadass tho theres nothing more damning to the 'ironwood was always evil' theory than the commentary #they talk so positively abt him and talk abt how they had lots of discussions abt how they wanted him to go #if he was evil from the get go those discussions wouldnt be necessary and the early chapter v7 commentary would be foreshadowing shit

Ayo, say hi to Freddy moms

Juniper and Martha Venegas

Info down there 👇👇

Addressing the obvious, Juniper is a trans woman, she transitioned when the family was established (when Freddy was like 4 years old ), though she had always been pretty extravagant, even before transitioning. Martha supported Juniper all the way through and also figured out her own sexuality in the process.

They are pretty open minded (as you can see) and they raised Freddy in a gender-neutral way (?? Idk if that's what it's called). Though also they can be a bit too lenient with Freddy, for better or for worse

Juniper is very experimental with her appearance, (colorful clothes, hair dye, makeup, etc) while Martha is the complete opposite (doesn't care)

Martha is an architect, and Juniper does freelance work from home (I'm not overthinking it)

They are in their late 40s

#:*3 #old ppl stuff #uhh. as you can see i took a bunch of liberties on this one :p #i liked the venegas last name so i kept it #eh not much detail on this one. theres more to these two but i think i need to get the next chapter out before that p. for context

[fruitybashir]

I just wanted to say I am so here for that lesbian bokris idea you have omg

ahahahaha and it seems like youre not the only one!! 😌😌

im very excited to write it as well 🫶🏻🫶🏻

#i will not lie though: might still be a while. this fic has at least two maybe three more chapters #and then theres the jance epilogues and bokris extra chapters i wanna get out before i write smthn new i think? #so thats still probably two months of holidate + holidate specials #and my summer is like. extremely busy. as in ill probably have one day off per week if even that fjkfkd #so ill keep holidate at once per week but after that the updates will take a little longer #<- this is me rambling but also like. in case anyone genuinely cares 🫶🏻 #inbox #anonymous

[presiding]

just saw that there's a monster in the hull update and realized i'd missed three of those........this + the audio are such treats giggling and kicking my feet about it fr. going to leave a comment on the fic itself but in the meantime needed to drop a letter on here to say i love the way you write billie--her loneliness, her thoughtfulness, distrust of yet attraction to emily and everything she represents........not to mention the way she's haunted by daud, the longing for a life she can't fathom and will never have !!! society if everyone gave billie the complexity she deserves. and your banter and prose are stunning as always lord everything abt this fic is so good. bringing wine to you on the deck to drink together about it in spirit and yes pun intended

🙏😭 thank you so so much I don't know what to say! that's amazingly kind of you ♥ its a genuine pleasure to like. double down on themes and nuance and less popular characters and just like. idk. trustfall into the fandom that there's people with taste like you, and you can invite them onto your metaphorical deck for wine and meaningful looks 🍷♥♥♥

re: billie - no one else in the dh universe comes close to whatever she has going on

hiding my thoughts about writing dh2 billie >

there's so much material to her!

i thought i'd never write for dishonored 2 (not derogatory - its my favourite game). its undoubtedly linear & doesn't have the mystery or grit of dh1 IMO.

but i saw lapin post that billie & emily comic, and i saw a few other people i respect mention billie/emily and it had me rotating them until the abjection/emily-monster thing clicked and then it was downhill from there

but there's more to think about - what billie has been doing with herself, how she feels about daud & the whalers at this point in her life, her relationship with sokolov (god.a separate rant), her history in karnaca & dunwall, emily's place in the empire and how that fits into billie's story, her lifelong revenge arc, and comparisons between jessamine & deirdre.

like. when you consider billie's perspective you realise how fucking badass she is for going back to dunwall. she not only did it scared she did it scared for her life. suicidal level flimsy disguise trapped in a tin can with your enemy. etc

PLEASE tell me if you ever decide to post that daud & billie fic you mentioned a while back :O

#asks #corpseprince my beloved <333 #thinkin bout your one-day fic. daud and billie are SO difficult to write #not simply father daughter but like. the suicide pact vibes they have and the all consuming nature of dauds bonds #and there's a strong running tension between them #not to mention neither being the type for feelings #the more 'dishonored fandom friendly' fics im working on i've deprioritised recently #yuri on the way <3 there was a deficit anyway! #mostly excited for brigmore smut #if i may bitch on your lovely post (sorry). if you cbf with that stop reading here #idk. it keeps happening #so i post a chapter. maybe get 2 kudos that week #which is nice and i smile every time im stoked to see readers around #but then one or two days later some unpleasant fucko on tumblr has taken one of the ideas i put in the new chapter of my fic #and turned that into a low quality textpost like it was their idea. it gets a heap of notes #and its always a *highly specific* idea after i posted it. and i know what the fandom is talking about broadly so it sticks out #i dont mind at all when its like mutuals or people who have commented or talked to me then its more like 🤝 #like. someone who doesnt appear to have ever interacted with me or the fic #im not trying to flatter myself by saying theres no chance its a coincidence. but its offputting as hell #backhanded signal of success? bestie thats my meta post but you made it worse <3 #so my focus rn is niche-r stuff for smart cool people with taste #THE RAMBLING. *tops up your wineglass if you made it this far*

[josephslittledeputy]

I should wait till wednesday to post but I can't refrain, so, posting a small snippet of what I've been doing this past month (been reworking chapter 3 of willa's dark fic.... why does writing have to take so damn long)

“You haven’t touched your food.”

“That’s because I’m tied to a fuckin’ chair, John.”

“Ah, right.” His chin juts up, signaling one of his men over.

“What?” She snorts when the peggie lifts a fork full of mashed potatoes to her mouth. “Not gonna make airplane noises too?” Begrudgingly, she leans forward, knowing that she needed the food and to continue playing this role. “Gotta say, it’s better than that other godawful concoction the other night. Are you sure you made this?” This time she directs the question at John, smiling when his fork stops halfway to his mouth.

“You should be grateful I’m doing this at all, Deputy. I could have left you down there with the others.”

“Oh, yes! I am sooo grateful John. Thank you for taking me out of your metal prison and putting me into a wooden one.” Taking another, more forceful bite, she cringes when her teeth scrape against the fork, wanting nothing more than to feed herself for once. But she had yet to earn that privilege. God forbid she stab a fork into someone, as if she wouldn’t just use her teeth if she really wanted to. "So what, are we trauma bonding now or something?"

"What?"

"Well, you shared your trauma then pried mine out too. So what's that make us, hm?"

John stabs the fork into his steak and lifts it to his mouth, chewing thoughtfully after. "I'm trying to help you, Deputy. Don't you see that?"

She leans forward, taking a bite when the peggie lifts the fork to her mouth. Now it's her turn to chew thoughtfully. "What about your parents, John?” Silence. Not even the peggie guards make a noise, though they do exchange nervous glances. "Let's talk about that. About how you broke up your own family… landed yourself in an even worse situation." She tilts her head, satisfied when his jaw clenches with anger. "Alone."

"Enough!" He slams a fist on the table, causing his plate to jump and drawing a few eyes from the guards outside. "We're done here." The chair scrapes against the floor and the thump of his aggravated footsteps slowly fade away.

"Was it somethin' I said?" She flashes the peggie at her side a shit eating grin.

#god these two *will* be the death of each other though #a little humor amongst the darkness of this chapter #my girls been carved up like a thanksgiving turkey and *still* pesters john like a mosquito on the wall #also i think all of the peggies are so relieved that willa escapes johns ranch despite it being bad news for them bc she really is the #absolute worst captive they've had. theres a reason john had to put that bit in her mouth weporgijewr shes a mouthy little shit #tbd #also been working on some cel & gabriel but i need to make it angstier... hes gotta be more angry that cel just shows up after #being the one who exposed the truth and ruined his life wpoigrjerw (which tbh his life was a lie so idk she did him a favor 🤷🏻‍♀️)

[guideaus]

vagabond and vinland saga are both historical seinen manga I'm slightly frustrated with the pacing of. and by slightly i mean i wanna agonize about it.

#personal #vinland saga battles happen for a while but are so easy to read and i cant stop #while vinland saga two guys will stare at each other for chapters thinking real hard and i know i skimmed so much of that manga #*stare in the middle of a battle btw. so #vs i wish i'd see more character development and then vagabond i wished the fighting was quicker unless theres a point to get across #i wanna mention trigun so bad too but it doesnt fit w these fjsfjkd. trimax is closer to vs definitely tho. battles and not as much side #stuff as i'd like to see

[gingerwerk]

it’s wip wednesday so here’s a blurb from my andyeddie pre flowers & tattoos au fic so there is actual proof out in the world that it exists outside of my head 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Eddie. Not Edward. Never Edward,

Not always Eddie either. Sometimes he was Hillbilly.

Even before all that, before the familiarity, the level of trust Andy experienced with so very few other people, he was simply Sergeant Jones. 

The first time Andy saw Eddie Hillbilly Jones it had been brief, a quick introduction by Captain Harper who took it upon himself to show the green lieutenant around Camp Lejeune.

He was the newest member of Echo company in the Second Marine Regiment- which was exciting -and was set to lead Echo’s weapons platoon- which was less exciting. It was unusual for a fresh second lieutenant to run the weapons platoon, as it required more expertise than a regular rifle platoon but when Captain Harper asked if he’d be comfortable taking over how could he say anything but yes? The marine corps was all about rising to the occasion and Andy knew that this would simply be the first of many instances he had to push through his anxieties to lead. 

After a meeting in his office, Captain Harper took him around the base and occasionally pointed out people worth knowing. Near the end of the quick tour, the two paused near the parade deck, and together they watched briefly as a sergeant led enlisted men through drills. 

“Oh, that’s Sergeant Jones,” Captain Harper informed him. “Solid as they come. Might hear some of the men call him Hillbilly.”

Andy wanted to ask why ‘Hillbilly’ but Captain Harper was already moving on. Andy spared the tall, lean man one more look before he went to catch up with his CO, fighting the feeling he got suddenly in his gut that he should’ve stayed watching that man for a moment or two longer.

During his stint in weapons platoon, Andy and Eddie never really crossed paths. It made sense with him in weapons and Eddie, he learned later, was an infantry school instructor, but he still saw Eddie around enough to never fully let the man leave his mind, heard enough about the man through the grapevine to already have a mental picture of the man without ever speaking to him. Every time Eddie was within Andy’s eyesight he got that same, strange feeling in his gut, the one that told him to stay, the one that made him feel like something was pulling him towards the other. Now, Andy was a firm believer in following one's gut but this had to be some sort of malfunction of his internal compass. He couldn’t get bogged down all because of one man he had never even spoken to before. 

Eventually there came a time when Andy realized he hadn’t seen nor heard Sergeant Jones as he led new recruits about the base. After casually asking someone about it, he was informed that Jones left for a specialty school in preparation to transfer.

“Oh, good for him,” Andy said calmly

It’s for the best, Andy told himself. 

Andy tried to convince himself that was it, that he was happy for Sergeant Jones, and come next week Jones probably wouldn’t ever cross his mind again. He tried, but for whatever reason, he couldn’t seem to shake the feeling that he had made some huge misstep along the way.

Never reaching out to Eddie at Lejeune might’ve felt like a missed opportunity but after three years, promotions, and a transfer across the county, it felt like missing an entire flight of stairs when Andy walked into the Fifth Marine Regiment office at Pendleton just to find none other than Eddie Hillbilly Jones staring right at him with fresh second lieutenant bars on his collar.

#kelly writes #flowers and tattoos au #as an fyi this fic is andys pov and also kinda jumps around a lot in the timeline #ive got like 17k written so far but theres def more to go #might end up posting it as two chapters instead of a massive one shot #but well see #the pacific

Being honest for a second, I feel like a pufferfish keeping in all the enthusiasm that I'm trying to save for when someone finally leaves a comment on my current fic in progress.

#theres so much I wanna say and talk about but goddamn keeping quiet is hard 😂😂😭😭 #I got two nice comments on august but it's been two more updates since 😅 #I'm already fighting through the next chapter even though brain's been on a bit of goblin mode

today's jjk ep

#jujutsu kaisen spoilers #jujutsu kaisen anime and manga spoilers #i didn't even flinch tbh #and i skipped some of the flashback so i was legit like 'oh the episodes already gonna end HERE???' #i'm not getting emotional about that crap until an episode comes out confirming she's dead!!!! #i say sitting on my ass forever because gege is a little wierdo who just never fucking bothered to do that #(at this point the Her situation in jjk is unsalvageable. the only thing the author COULD do thats at all narratively built-up-at-all would #be to have her get taken over by kenjacku. but like. that'd fucking SUCK STILL so like whatever #should've just said she was dead insteada introducing a whole new character that would then never show back up with a power specifically #designed only to leave her in a relative state of limbo) #(well that and keep yuji from dying worse. but like. honestly that wasn't very necessary we could believe yuji survived getting his ass #handed to him by mahito anyway we did it before) #literally each new chapter her coming back gets less and less likely at this point. its over. who gives a shit. #akutami came up with a fucking GOLDEN character and just kinda dropped her down a toilet. didn't even flush it correctly just let us wait. #narratively i don't HATE the idea of her dying even! but good GOD it should've been two-thirds through the story rather than roughly halfwa #also just #i fuckin hate megumi #sorry hes just kinda boring! todo was right!! #theres good things IN his character but god it feels like he only exists to be a wet blanket #a wet blanket that WORKED GREAT WITH THE MORE BALANCED CORE CAST! #BUT ONCE THEY'RE FUCKING GONE ITS.

sugar daddy au has me distraught b/c this trope is not usually my thing but im OBSSESSED with ur fic… literally reading the existing chapters over and over to hold myself over til the next one. i think its how u write their dynamic that just has a death grip on me like its so good

Believe me when I tell you that it's not usually my thing either. Like, AUs, meh, never been big on them but, like you said, it's the dynamic it's just so palpable like sink your teeth in and thrash around for hours...

I'm glad it's re-readable! That's nice to hear because I think once you (the audience) read Chapter 8, you might wanna go back and re-read Chapter 6...

Sooo.. 23.7k words. September 21, 4pm EST. (Sorry it's running late, but I think it will be worth the wait.)

Thanks for being an active reader! I give you this offering, ahead of time:

#sugar daddy au #dennis reynolds #cos the playlist thats why im tagging him cos i tried to make it very accurate.. #but it is his sex playlist in this chapter 8 #and the order of the playlist is very intentional. the length of the playlist is EXACT. know that... #also yes im being a little selfish giving you a date time for the update #but i want to be available when ppl are reading #bc i want you guys to COME TALK TO ME #pleaSE #theres. so much. in here #like so much... you could write me an entire play by play on your thoughts #theres. so fuckin much #again like yeah this is an au but goddamn if this isnt a deep dennis headdive #also Mac is just. very good from dennis' perspective #im gonna miss it... #which thats why its 23k words cos. i get two chapters in dennis' shoes im gonna TAKE EM. #ik whoever is still reading this is like christ you can type all this but you cant update the fuckin fic #soooooo true #do you want a spoiler or something #theres more baseball... #thats not a good spoiler? #cockwarming is being added to the fic tags #there ya go #night night... see everyone tomorrow

Trick or treat!! :]

and for the fanfic game, this is from chapter 6 for the scars are not absolution

It was an enormous thrill to swing the boy up onto his shoulders, walking the circus like some extravagant tour– just like his father used to do. The same spiel spilled past his lips, gripping chubby legs as they oo-ed and aw-ed over every little thing. “Look here!” he’d boom, jiggling the boy excitedly, Dick giggling and screaming. “We’re world-famous, you know! Your parents are celebrities, even met the President once! Haly’s Circus is a big deal, we’ve got the best in the world right here! See, over there, biggest elephant there ever was and she just had a baby, too. She’s younger than you but she’s already huge and ain’t nothing else like them in the world! Look, Dick, over there–”

#i really need to start working on this wip again.... #i gotta plan it out more #chapter 6 is pretty much done- i think theres a two or so pages left to flesh it out- but im still not sure where to take it #anyway thanks for playing!!!! #anon
