GOS2 hillywood + poster dissection (spoilers!)
so, i think we all lost our collective MINDS today
when I saw that we have the release date I actually started SCREAMING (I got lots of dirty looks.) anyways I have lots and lots of thoughts that I just need to get down somewhere so buckle up cuz this will be long, rambly, and prolly won't make a whole lot of sense.
First of all, huge props to the whole hillywood team, this was a really high-quality production and I loved every second of it. I'm watching the behind the scenes vid while writing this and it's really interesting to see how such an amazing video was produced. so much work was put into it and it really paid off. Thank you guys so much for making this!
So, the scene where Crowley falls. this could just be something fun hillywood decided to do, but the fact that they worked so closely with Neil makes me wonder if this is something that we might get more of in s2. The scene with the fire (which was awesome btw) maybe not be so much, but Crowley falling from what seems to be heaven into a puddle of what I'm guessing is maybe meant to be sulphur? (I don't really know what sulphur is so correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just spewing stuff here so it could be complete nonsense) idk to me it seems like foreshadowing, especially considering that Crowley's fall isn't discussed in that much depth in s1. idk that could just be me stretching cuz I want pre-fall Crowley SO BAD. and OH MY GOD IN THE VIDEO THEY JUST CONFIRMED ITS MEANT TO BE SULPHUR I FUCKING SGHA ITS THE FALL FROM HEAVEN I KNEW IT.
The post-parody scenes AHHH. first of all, I loved how they stayed pretty much word accurate to the show, with only necessary things changed. I loved Neil in this, Maggie, and Daniel. Does more Daniel mean more Adam? he could just be there for like a fun cameo roll but it got me thinking. if weird shit was happening the first thing Crowley and aziraphale are gonna think is 'Ah shit it's the Antichrist again innit' So maybe more adam s2? idk.
(Maggie was literally me. 'DO THEY HOLD HANDS??' girl is literally the entire good omens fandom)
('the wait and see clause' SO FUNNY BUT ALSO SO MUCH PAINN)
Ok, poster time.
First off, the way they're sat back to back?? no space between them?? and IS AZ READING TO CROWLEY?? :( They make me wanna vomit /pos
Also, I noticed something in the back. a shop outside with 'give me' on the front? this could just be a generic shop but I feel like everything in the poster is deliberate. doesn't seem to mean much now but I reckon we should keep our eye out in the background of any other posters and teasers and stuff we might get. this could just be me going bonkers cuz I've been deprived of new content for SO LONG but idk I could be onto smth.
I also wanna talk about the lighting decisions. the bright light shining on aziraphale, cuz yk- he's an angel but also a little glimmer on Crowley? now it could be interpreted as like 'Oh not all hope is lost for him' but I see it differently. the fact that Crowley's light is coming from below and Azi's is coming from above?? bit on the nose. I think the fact that we've been told that Gabriel is gonna feature heavily in this, is gonna make us primarily focus on heaven (the biggest light being on Az) but that doesn't mean hells gonna be out of the picture. I think, that through the first few episodes, we're gonna be focusing on Heaven harassing Az and we won't notice hell spying on Crowley (Crowley's light being smaller, yet still very much there)
More on hell, something I didn't notice at first was a lil tiny lizard in the bottom left-hand corner. I'm pretty convinced this is supposed to be shax. I mean, we've been shown that like all the demons have some sort of animal form (Beelzebub- fly, Crowley- snake, ligur- chameleon, etc., etc.) but as far as I know, we haven't had a lizard like that yet. it has a little fire tail and it's pretty deliberately hidden (either that or I'm fucking stupid cuz I didn't notice until like 10 mins ago) I think the fact that he's not the center focus is again about how through this hell will just be kinda spying on them rather taking a center focus so that we have our guard down and are like 'WOAH' when hell does smth. but you can't fool ME Neil, I'm expecting it.
Final little closing thoughts on stuff that could be irrelevant but maybe isn't. The clock- both hands on 6, 6 episodes, what else is 6? Is half 6 a significant time? or is it just cuz 666 and like haha devil number? the old ass camera in the bottom right-hand corner, eluding to maybe olden days Crowley and aziraphale pictures?? I would die. maybe also references a scene abt the invention of the camera?? or is it just there cuz Az is nostalgic and likes antiques. am I going insane or is that a new Crowley haircut?? Crowley and Az being back to back they LOOK SO DOMESTIC ILL SOBB
again, thank you so much hillywood for this amazing parody. and thanks Neil for FINALLY answering our prayers while leaving us with like a MILLION more questions, love you Mr. Gaiman
if you actually read this, thanks! that means that someone else is as obsessed and slightly mad as me. let me know if you've got any other ideas or annotations, I love literally everything good omens so even if you think it's a reach I WANNA HEAR IT!
Edit: I'm a fukin idiot and also blind. there are 3 lizards, and literally everyone noticed them (I can't find the third one (I'm pretty sure I need glasses)) BUT YK I still reckon it's shax. or maybe the erics?? oo it might be the Erics now im thinking abt it
Another edit: I'm actually REALLY fuckin stupid. the give me sign outside is Nina's shop 'Give me coffee or give me death' (I kinda forgot there were new characters this season) BUT YK maybe still smth?? idfk

Prieta Melleen (the conception)
A/N: I was washing dishes and thinking of my soulmate Reylo fic, then I thought of Kylo dying but since they're soulmates, cant the soul find its other half to reside in? thats when the idea of body-mates began (while doing dishes, thank you very much) and then my thoughts drifted to Prim whose death devastated us and since I am me, I decide to write that asinine piece of idk-what-that-is garbage for my beloved @jhsgf82.
The title will make more sense once you read on.
Lets move to our story ;)
Post-MJ, Humour, rated M to be safe. No triggers except canon-ish violence (which is teeny weeny like Gale's willy). READ AT YOUR OWN RISK CUZ IDK WHAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS!!
"Katniss?" Prim asked, turning and looking at her frantic sister before the explosions went.
There was pain, so much pain, and screaming and it took Prim a while to realize her sister was screaming much louder than anyone who fell victim to the disguised bombs.
"Primrose!" Katniss wails and Prim screams as she feels herself being violently torn into two until the pain and noise is no more and there's a feeling. It feels like...flying?
Prim slams her eyes shut (which she shouldn't have done but she did) and prays for it all to be over, prays to whatever deity is out there to bring her back to her sister who she'll never leave again.
And then she floats, she floats for who knows how long until she finally feels well-rested and decides to face whatever the fuck it is head-on.
Well, whatever Prim thought she'd see after opening her eyes would never come close to what she actually is seeing.
It's dark but she can see. She's in somewhere that's obviously dark, warm, cozy, and well-lived. There is only a distant source of light and that's too high up.
That's when the sound of someone stomping hits her ears and she's instantly on high alert, years upon years with Katniss making it instinctive.
"Who are you?" she hisses, trying to sound as threatening as Katniss would but she doesn't know if she achieves her goal.
Stompy-feet comes close enough and she traces it's, his, features with her eyes because he looks famili-
"Peeta?" Prim gasps and Peeta jumps several feet in the air. It would be comical if Prim wasn't utterly done with the universe's bullshit by now.
"What are you doing here? Where are we? Katniss?" Prim asks, she's about to unload more questions but the sight of his wide, terrified eyes makes her clamp her mouth shut.
"Primrose? You're okay!" he sounds stunned and then excited as he pulls her in his arms.
"I don't know where we are Prim but I've been eying that light up there and I think it'll answer all our questions," Peeta says, pointing up at the small source of light.
"How do we get there?" Prim asks and Peeta thinks noisily because the fucking man literally talks to himself and considers it thinking.
"How do we get up there, Peeta? Hmm, this feels like a dream don't you think? I agree, so maybe we can fly up there and hope we find answers? Sounds valid enough but-" his loud thinking is cut-off by Prim leaping in the air and floating up.
She shrieks in excitement and is joined by a grinning Peeta who dampens her mood by saying, "Great minds think alike."
"Oh shut up, you walk loud, you talk loud, you think loud, you ogle loud," Prim says and Peeta's face looks like a lump of coal that's been sitting in the fire too long.
They both fly all the way and as soon as they're close, they realize there are two sources of light and they're small.
They don't have to say it because they're thinking the same thing. Let's peek.
Peeking from the two wasn't a good idea because as soon as they do, they see a mirrored ceiling and a sleeping Katniss, and focusing on the mirrored ceiling has them falling back down because two blue eyes are staring from the mirror, one more grayish, the other bluer.
"What the fuck!" Prim yells and Peeta gives her a nasty look.
"It looks like you're stuck in my body too now," Peeta calmly says and Prim's eyes fill with mischief.
"Does that mean no more crampy period?"
And Peeta groans, his face turning red once again.
"No, no no! This isn't happening!" he wails, sounding pathetic and utterly defeated.
"Cheer-up Peeta, we'll find a way to split up," and a flash of an image appears in her mind of Peeta's body split into two even pieces, running in two different directions and Prim gags.
"What was that?" she asks and Peeta gives her the stink eye.
"Well, sharing my body includes my fucking organs which includes my brain, and said brain has thoughts and feelings and memories you can now see," he grits out and Prim's smile turns maniacal.
"We'll find a way, at least until then, refrain from kissing or having intimate relations with my sister, yeah?" she says and Peeta looks so embarrassed he's ready to combust.
"How can we?" he wails, "my body doesn't have a library or computer in it."
There are a few minutes of blissful silence as the two contemplate what it means for them.
Peeta jumps and stares outside both windows feeling a rush of air so strong he closes his eyes. Opening them again, he finds himself in bed and Katniss beside him, holding his hand. There's no sign of Prim and Peeta breathes a sigh of relief.
Katniss wakes with a start, her bloodshot eyes lighting up for a minute before she kisses him and he melts. Tangling his hand in her hair he-
Peeta for god's sake stop eating her face and come down here! I told you not to do that! Ughhh! comes Prim's voice in his mind and he abruptly pulls away from the girl he's been in love with for more than a decade.
"I love you," he croaks before his eyes roll back and he finds himself inside his body, standing beside Prim once again.
"So if one of us goes there, we can have control of the body, thoughts, and everything. It's the perfect way to find out what happened to us!" Prim squeals before adding "Now to figure out how we'll tell Katniss."
And Peeta feels dizzy because this isn't fucking happening. He refuses to believe it.
And then Prim grins and it's so damn evil, purely devilish that Peeta prays it's nothing bad.
"So what do we call ourself?" Prim asks and Peeta rolls his eyes at her use of 'ourself'.
"Pri-" her words are cut off as Peeta ends what he was saying.
"-eta" and the miserable duo looks at each other and then tries to snag the last name.
"Mell-"
"-een" Prim ends and Peeta facepalms.
"Prieta Melleen, I like it!" she giggles and Peeta hopes he can wake up and find out it's all a nightmare.
"Come, fellow Prieta, let's decide who'll talk to Katniss about our...predicament," Prim says and Peeta can't stop himself from fainting this time.
A/N: And this is how Prieta Melleen came into being lol. This is me reversing the concept of soulmates (one soul, two bodies) to make it body-mates (one body, two souls+personalities). Idk if I'll write more of this but maybe if my brain concocts more body-bound duo's shenanigans, I believe I'll write them because in the end, the two love Katniss 😂

I have only recently got into the ace attorney fandom, and this story was the first story I read, and I feel spoiled! I absolutely loved every chapter, so I'm gonna word vomit here and tell you everything I love about this!
"She offers him a smile. It’s small, tentative, but it possesses a strength that makes a hidden part of him twist and burn with quiet envy." the first time we see nick's wish to be as strong as mia!
Considering the fact that nick didn't have any prominent figure in his life, it makes sense that he would look up to gregory so much
"Phoenix looks up, and starts walking towards Mia Fey
He doesn't stop for two years."
THE RELATIONSHIP THAT MIA AND NICK HAD WAS PRECIOUS AND DESERVES MORE THAN WHAT THE FANDOM GIVES THEM
"Larry’s arms wrap around him, squeezing almost too tight" People forget that Larry and Phoenix were good friends too, and Larry would help his best friend
"Nobody believed him, nobody but Mia" Maya is what Phoenix is to Mia and I adore that
"He wishes, desperately, that he’d said it while she was still alive. I loved you. For everything you did." Not you absolutely breaking my fucking heart
Also the first AA game felt unnatural in the sense of how seemingly unaffected Phoenix seemed at Mia's murder so I'm really glad you wrote it this way
"Expensive. Thoughtful. Too much." SHUT UP NICK YOU DESERVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
Also quick break to mention how I absolutely fucking love your writing style and i wish I was literally half as talented as you cuz the last time I read something that made me feel this multitude of emotions was ocean vuong. And I practically worship Ocean Vuong. So now I worship you too
"You're a stranger to me // When will I stop hoping?" I never really realised just how badly nick musta been hurt by good ol' bratworth before this fic, but now that I have read it, it would have hurt him so bad
"Is this why you never answered my letters? Because I was a reminder? Because it hurt too much?" Honestly what happened to miles and phoenix's friendship hurts so much because it should have never happened, and miles didn't deserve that.
"Maybe Miles Edgeworth is not the man he thought he’d be, either." yo when I tell you this hurt I mean this huRT
Fun fact! My birthday is on the same day as DL-6 anniversary. Gregory Edgeworth died on my birthday. I feel horrible now
"monster. You were nine years old and he's a monster. " No one has made me feel this much emotion for what happened to Miles in a single sentence other than you. I commend you for that
"I love you," he says quietly. He has never said those words to anyone, except for Dahlia Hawthorne.
Maya sniffs in his ear, crushing him tight. "I love you, too."
He has never heard them back.
PHOENIX HAS NEVER HEARD THE WORDS " I LOVE YOU" COME BACK TO HIM ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME WHY NOW I'M SAD
"Tell me everything. Every detail—" Miles is worried bout nick and why wouldn't he? gods you're so gay miles but tbf if I knew someone like nick irl i'd go ballistic too
"He determined the motive for his own assault...with amnesia. Naturally." My man's smart af and he is king
"Is that what she thinks of me? That I'm like that? That I don't care about who the bad guys really are?" Gumshoe noooo you're hella precious! Also this particular chapter was so well written! loved this soo much!
Also taking a minute to appreciate the pacing! Rarely do I ever come across an author who just hits that sweet spot of perfect pacing and you did! so thank you!
Alright so here are a few thoughts that I felt capcom needed to do which you did for us!
no. 1 - Address the trauma phoenix faced with not only dahlia but also with mia's death
no. 2 - Actually fucking flesh out a good relationship dynamic between larry and phoenix
no. 3 - actually! have! phoenix! be hurt! in bridge to turnabout! istg my man would not have dropped from a burning bridge to a freezing river only to have a cold
AUNT FRANZY AND PEARLS MAN!
THEY CUTE
ok so I have a LOT of feelings for bridge to turnabout and HOO BOY BUCKLE UP
So I always thought that in this fic, miles must have felt fucking awful! I mean he very clearly hates who he was and what that has led to but that must have been doubled over with this case! Phoenix would have died if not for mia and it would have been indirectly miles's fault. I think about that alot
Like he said that he very much regrets whatever he did as bratworth in the phone call with gumshoe but i don't think he anticipated this. poor edgeworth
Also I think this was the final nail in the coffin for miles. Phoenix forgave him, after all the fucked up shit miles did, and that made that man go "how is this guy so fucking compassionate awwwww shit I'm in fucking love with this idiotic brave man".
my main thoughts were "holy shit phoenix must have been feeling awful." like to learn that you were in love with a person who turned out to be a murderer but then not a murderer cuz everything you felt about that was real and just...... it must have hurt. He never fell in love with dahlia. it was iris, always. and WHAT ABOUT MILES DURING THIS!!! Like to learn that the man you love was falsely led to believe that he was in love with a person he rarely met and then learn that his ex who is not murderous might still be in love with him because "that was real. that part was real." like damn. people just gloss over this
also I feel terrible for iris F in the chat for iris lads.
Dahlia literally haunting that courtroom scene. I felt mia's power. I felt her desperation. I felt everything and I am once again in awe of the absolute power your writing holds.
also godsdamn pearls had to go through all that shit huh. also FRANMAYAAAAAA THANK YOUUUU
I too, am a hoe confused as to what I should feel towards diego.
Ok anyways we jump to disbarment now
"He just winks at her and says Maya has other talents, and if Mystic Maya overhears, she puffs up at him like the fish from the aquarium she saw once, the one with all the spikes and silly eyes."
you know what constantly amazes me? your ability to change tones so effortlessly. When writing from edgey's pov, the language is sophisticated. precise. when writing from pearly's pov your language is simplistic, child-like. from phoenix's pov it's natural. grounded
"She never knew anybody who made faces like him, growing up in Kurain, and it’s one of the things that makes him special." Yo phoenix is the most amazing uncle ever and we all know it ok he's brilliant
I'M RUNNING OUT OF CHARACTER LIMITS
PEARLY CALLING EDGEY AT FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE I'M SOFFFFTTTT
“I think I did something really bad." trucy baby no it's not your fault
pearl and trucy bonding supremacy. my girls would fuck shit up
"She’d meant to do this properly, one day." Thank you for giving importance to maya's feelings. thank you for treating her like a real human being. thank you
“Everything that happened...for what? It’s only gotten people hurt. Pearly. Our mother.” Me. Me." I felt so bad for maya here. I wish I could tell you in precise words about how this exact framing of the sentence is what broke me. "me. me" maya deserved more, but mia did all she could
"What do scared kids need? ...Food." not you breaking my godsdamn heart again. phoenix just knows what's it like being a helpless child, and he'll be damned if he ever lets anyone face that again
“‘Course, Pearls,” he says reflexively, before frowning. “What for?” reflexively. if every man in the world could be like phoenix wright then the world would be worthy of the gods
"Another one?" give it 2 years edgey she'll be your daughter too
"after countless hours creating the man’s living space in his mind from the background snatches he’d seen in the man’s ridiculous video calls." NOT ONLY DO THEY VC FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON BUT ALSO MILES ACTUALLY SPENDS TIME TRYING TO RECREATE HIS ROOM?? BECAUSE HE WOULD ONE DAY LIKE TO BE IN IT??? good gods these bitches gay. good for them
"because just as day is light and night is dark, Phoenix Wright is an honorable man." damn straight. you love to see it (it being a 27+ year old man pining for another 27+ year old man)
also hey miles! how do you feel about the fact that the man you love changed his fucking major and degrees halfway through college just so he could see you again only for you to be incredibly rude to him and make him end up in jail! (i bully edgeworth cuz i love him)
"Wright finishes, shrugging like it’s nothing, like his commitment and belief isn’t the most extraordinary thing that Miles has ever faced." it's more than pining at this point. it's incredible faith and trust. Miles had someone who cared about him even after all those years despite him having changed so drastically, ofc he would be surprised. Miles loves phoenix and so do i.
also HOT DAMN YOU WRITING IS JUST * MWAH *
Also the whole segment where they kiss is just !!!!! miles wants! it's beautiful! THEY'RE IN LOVEEE
receiving poisonous bottles which your ex tried to kill you with. My man can't get a break huh
Miles being chivalrous and protective and absolutely stealing my godsdamn heart (and phoenix's too)!
Klavier being the absolute king that he is we stan
The hostage situation section? gods miles must have been terrified.
Phoenix not being able to promise pearly that he'd always come back home and miles hearing it and like... ouch. my heart. you didn't need to do that (but i love your for it)
GODS THE CLIMAX WITH KRISTOPH WAS SOOO SATISFYING AND LIKE MY MAN PHOENIX REALLY PUNCHED THAT BITCH HUH
klavier baby I am so sorry
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!
and thus my comment ends. I believe I have almost used up all of my commenting limits and i leave with these few parting words : HOLY SHIT YOUR AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU!
also I made a playlist on spotify for this fic! here's the link : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3k8lRHiO8ZXQDLpiTUL7SN?si=fc3b35b4ab064867
gods this was long huh
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY....WHERE DO I BEGIN...THE FACT THAT YOU BROKE THE CHARACTER LIMIT ON AO3 AND MADE A PLAYLIST? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
thank you so much for all the amazing things you said....i am crying on a Wednesday morning knowing my writing was appreciated this much. thank you!

More Fitzjames content? Yeah... here’s a playlist for ya’ll...
These are songs which I think describe him at different points in his character developement or simply different aspects of his personality. Somewhat James/Crozier (Fitzier) but all about James.
(25 songs, 1 hour 33 min)
Song List + Most Character-Relevant Lyrics:
Fancy — Orville Peck
We didn't have money for food or rent / To say the least, we was hard pressed / Then Mama spent every last penny we had / To buy me a dancin' dress / Mama washed and combed and curled my hair / And she painted my eyes and lips / Stepped into a satin dancin' dress / That had a slit in the side clean up to my hips / It was red velvet trim, and it fit me good / Starin' back from the lookin' glass / There stood a woman where a half-gown boy had stood / ... / It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' / Askin', "Mama, what do I do?" / She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy / They'll be nice to you" / "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down / Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down / Lord, forgive me for what I do / But if you want out, well, it's up to you / Now don't let me down now / Your mama's gonna move you uptown"
gold rush — Taylor Swift
What must it be like / To grow up that beautiful? / With your hair falling into place like dominos / ... / At dinner parties / I call you out on your contrarian shit / And the coastal town / We wandered 'round had never / Seen a love as pure as it / And then it fades into the gray of my day old tea / 'Cause you know it could never be
The Name Of The Game — ABBA
Your smile, and the sound of your voice / And the way you see through me / Got a feeling, you give me no choice / But it means a lot to me / So I wanna know / What's the name of the game?
Spectrum — Florence + The Machine
And when we come for you / We'll be dressed up all in blue / With the ocean in our arms / Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms / And when it's time to pray / We'll be dressed up all in grey / With metal on our tongues / And silver in our lungs / ... / And when we come back we'll be dressed in black / And you'll scream my name aloud / And we won't eat and we won't sleep / We'll drag bodies from the ground / So say my name / And every colour illuminates / And we are shining / And we'll never be afraid again
Dreamy Bruises — Sylvan Esso
How can we question / What we knows feels right / Black eyes turn to marigolds / In the morning light / Ohweeohweeoh kids move so slow / Shaken all over like some dogs at the pool / Ohweeohweeoh kids move so slow / They’re kicken all the records over acting like they hanging water / Ohweeohweeoh kids move so slow / Down in the basement where the sun don't show / Ohweeohweeoh kids movie so slow / Naked dollars wonder piles dreamy bruises rotten lovers / And they say I want you / To bend me back in two / To make me sing your tune / To make those words so smooth / Fill me like a song do
Wolf — Sylvan Esso
But no birds nor beast does he eat / He only wants the tenderest meat / And oh the sounds he makes them speak / Under all different patterns of sheets / ... / The modern wolf, the modern wolf / Drippin' in all the lives that he took / He'll go on home, try to wash them off / But when he shaves, he hears them call
Francis Forever — Mitski
On sunny days I go out walking / I end up on a tree-lined street / I look up at the gaps of sunlight / I miss you more than anything / I don't need the world to see / That I've been the best I can be, but / I don't think I could stand to be / Where you don't see me / And autumn comes when you're not yet done / With the summer passing by, but / I don't think I could stand to be / Where you don't see me
James — MGMT
James / If you need a friend / Come right over / Don't even knock / And I'll be home / The door is always open / And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?" / Oh, James / My little doll / You just go outside and you call / Oh, James / Oh, you're never too far off / If your fire's out / There's no need to shout / I'm always home / And walk on in / I'll make you tea and breakfast / And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"
South London Forever — Florence + The Machine
I drive past the place that I was born / And the places that I used to drink / Young and drunk and stumbling in the street / Outside the Joiners Arm's like foals unsteady on their feet / With the art students and the boys in bands / High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met / I thought it doesn't get / Better than this / There can be nothing better than this / Better than this / And we climbed onto the roof, the museum / And someone made love in the glass / And I'd forgot my name / And the way back to my mother's house / With your black cool eyes and your bitten lips / The world is at your fingertips / It doesn't get better than this / What else could be better than this? / Oh, don't you know I have seen / I have seen the fields aflame / And everything I ever did / Was just another way to scream your name
Oh! You Pretty things — David Bowie
I think about a world to come / Where the books were found by the Golden ones / Written in pain, written in awe / By a puzzled man who questioned / What we work here for / All the strangers came today / And it looks as though they're here to stay / Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things) / Don't you know you're driving your / Mamas and Papas insane / Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things) / Don't you know you're driving your / Mamas and Papas insane / Let me make it plain / You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Venus As A Boy — Björk
His wicked sense of humor / Suggests exciting sex / His fingers they focus on her and touches / He's Venus as a boy / ... / All across your lips, oh, then until / Well be that it's a little now, until / He believes in a beauty / He's Venus as a boy / He believes in a beauty and gentle
Winds Change — Orville Peck
Had a lover but I lost my patience / Gonna get a song on a radio station / Got a fire but you just can't use it / I don't mean no lies, baby, please don't lose it / Lost my way on the other side / I know why, I don't know when / From the way that we said goodbye / I knew I'd never see you again / Left my mind in the Salt Lake City / Met a lot of men who would call me pretty / Pack of reds, watch the days get colder / Don't it make you cry, how we're getting older?
Fluorescent Adolescent — Arctic Monkeys
Oh the boy's a slag / The best you ever had / The best you ever had is just a memory / And those dreams weren't as daft as they seem / Not as daft as they seem / My love, when you dream them up... / Flicking through a little book of sex tips / Remember when the boys were all electric? / Now when she's told she's gonna get it / I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it / Clinging to not getting sentimental / Said she wasn't going but she went still / Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle / Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil? / Oh the boy's a slag / The best you ever had / The best you ever had is just a memory / And those dreams weren't as daft as they seem / Not as daft as they seem / My love, when you dream them up / Falling about / You took a left off Last Laugh Lane / Just sounding it out / But you're not coming back again.
Cheerleader — St. Vincent
I've had good times / With some bad guys / I've told whole lies / With a half smile / Held your bare bones / With my clothes on / I've thrown rocks / Then hid both my arms / I've played dumb / When I knew better / Tried so hard / Just to be clever / I know honest thieves / I call family / I've seen America / With no clothes on / I don't know what I deserve / But for you I could work / Cause I don’t want to be a cheerleader no more
Queen Bitch — David Bowie
She's so swishy in her satin and tat / In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat / Oh God, I could do better than that / Oh, yeah / She's an old-time ambassador / Of sweet talking, night walking games / Oh and she's known in the darkest clubs / For pushing ahead of the dames / If she says she can do it / Then she can do it, she don't make false claims / But she's a queen and such a queen / Such a laughter is sucked in their brains / Now she's leading him on / And she'll lay him right down / Yes, she's leading him on / And she'll lay him right down / But it could have been me / Yes, it could have been me
Boys Keep Swinging — David Bowie

Imposters (Little By Little) — The Fratellis
You wear your mask, I'll wear mine / They don't come cheap, but they fit just fine / You can be her and I can be him / We can both sink when the rest all swim / ... / We can pretend that our fates were entwined / A beautiful lie is the beautiful kind / Everybody knows that the sun still sets / And everybody gives and everybody gets / ... / I could be the one that you just can't shake / Till you swear that your eyes go blind / We can disappear till the sun burns a hole / In the life that we left behind
Sweet Painted Lady — Elton John
I'm back on dry land once again / Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain / We're all hunting honey with money to burn / Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned / If the boys all behave themselves here / Well, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear / ... / Forget us we'll have gone very soon / Just forget we ever slept in your rooms / And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds / Where love's just a job and nothing is said
Super Trouper — ABBA
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me / But I won't feel blue / Like I always do / 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you / ... / So I'll be there when you arrive / The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive / And when you take me in your arms / And hold me tight / I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Babooshka — Kate Bush

Paris is Burning — St. Vincent
I write to give word the war is over / Send my cinders home to mother / They gave me a medal for my valor / Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power / They say, "I'm on your side / "When nobody is, 'cause nobody is / "Come sit right here and sleep / "While I slip poison in your ear" / We are waiting on a telegram / To give us news of the fall / I am sorry to report / Dear Paris is burning after all
Dream of Sheep — Kate Bush
Oh I'll wake up to any sound of engines / Every gull a seeking craft / I can't keep my eyes open / Wish I had my radio / I'd tune into some friendly voices / Talking 'bout stupid things / I can't be left to my imagination / Let me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep / Ooh, their breath is warm / And they smell like sleep / And they say they take me home / Like poppies, heavy with seed / They take me deeper and deeper
Hunger — Florence + The Machine
At seventeen, I started to starve myself / I thought that love was a kind of emptiness / And at least I understood then, the hunger I felt / And I didn't have to call it loneliness / ... / Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free / The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me / Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen / We never found the answer but we knew one thing / ... / And it's Friday night and it's kicking in / In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me / Oh, and you in all your vibrant youth / How could anything bad ever happen to you? / You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment / I forget to worry

heyy lemony! just saying i really feel a lot of what you said re: that ask about why you got into writing x reader stuff. I could relate to a lot of it, and especially the rage reading - I would come across stuff that would bother me and then I would inexplicably read it, and then it would be on my mind in a negative way for a long time afterwards. it took me a while, but I learnt to just ignore, to the best of my ability, stuff that I know i won't like or will have a negative effect on me.
I always feel bad cuz I'm kind of fussy and particular in what i like and don't like, especially with content and characterisation, and I had this thing that once i started reading a fic I felt like I always had to finish it, no matter how little I was enjoying it, but I've learnt to just... keep away from everything that I don't like, even if it's from friends or writers that are used to me reading their work (i still feel bad about that sometimes). I've just come to realise that learning to curate your own experiences is really really important, and things
And yeah, portrayals of your faves was such a big factor behind me writing as well... Like at the end of the day, it's very unlikely that someone's interpretation of something will line up 100% with how you perceive a character, even if they're amazing writers and it does for the most aprt, but if you're writing the thing, it always will. But I totally empathise with you reading Kakashi fics and it not flying with the Kakashi you knew 😂 i've had that feelign many a time.
Also, about the SI vs OC thing... As someone who has had the same OC for like half her life and will *never* let this character ever see the light of day, I'll tell you why i struggle more to get into OC stories. To me... they seem very personal? Like, with an SI it's much easier to identify with the character and forget about my own OCs for a while whereas I struggle reconciling my own imagination and ideas if its a series or character i'm really invested in with OC stories. Idk, I just feel OC stories feel more... connected to the author, in a way, if that makes sense? Lol. So i know there are amazing OC stories out there, and I have read them and will read more in the future, but for me, if it's a character and series I'm really invested in, I just struggle to really separate my own mind and ideas from what I'm reading.
I'm *SO* sorry for all the rambles lmao I just resonated with a lot of what you said and thought it was really cool of you to go in deep the way you did 💕
- pf 🌸
oh my deaf pf, never apologize for rambles. <3
i think that learning to ignore the stuff i used to "rage-read" back in the day is definitely a signifier of growth. i don't know shit about psychology so i can't explain why we do these kinds of things, but it's certainly a more universal experience than i realized, lol. and honestly? writing my own fic has made it much easier for me to tune out the content that doesn't bring me joy, so i'm really grateful for that.
i know no one is ever going to see kakashi (or any character) exactly the same way i do, that's one of the things that's so cool about fandom! i love reading others' interpretations most of the time. but that variation def means we occasionally come across things that we don't enjoy at all, and it can be really hard to turn away from reading something you've already invested time in or that is created by a person you interact with on the regular.
finding that balance is definitely a trick and a half, but a worthwhile endeavor to ensure your online experience is as consistently positive as possible.
i have to say i really enjoy a good oc story where the character is well-developed and there's obviously a lot of love put into them. SI fics for me are a very different and more immersive experience, so i think it just depends on my mood at any given time as to which i'll be more interested in reading.
also, full disclosure: a few of my smutty SI pieces are definitely scenes i originally imagined for my longfic, but that i know will never be written for it because explicit scenes don't really suit the vibe of the fic. so i adapted them for the masses instead, lol.
thanks so much for your rambles! it makes me feel better that i did the same when i answered the original ask. XD

The Route Thief
Tumblr media
Sumary: Everybody used to tell me to stop playing those games, but what can I do? An otome game is pretty addictive and specially if is one like Wizardess Heart. This game is my life! Wait, I didn't mean literally... Then, why I'm suddenly inside on my game!? Is that Hiro and Zeus? When I said this game is my life I didn't mean to want that this game BE my life!
Pairing: Hiro x Marian
Chapter 4
After dinner, Zeus and I went to a walk by the garden. Some orbs of light were flouting on all the way lighting up the path. I tried to touch one, I was wondering if it was hot. But actually it was just warm, and it was beautiful, some how, it make me relax and smile.
"What the heck are you doing?"
And stress came back
"I was just curious."
"I was talking about you coming to Gedonelune. What are you up to?"
Zeus approached me and blocked my way.
"I... Don't know what is happening either. I didn't know anything About it, I swear. "
"Like I'll believe that!"
He seems to be very angry. But why? Do he... He doesn't like his fiance? If I remember well, there's never mentioned that Zeus have a fiance. Like ever! But, it can be that he hides it. I need to know on what timeline am I. Is this before or after Night Class is revealed? The things will develop just like in the game or I'm in another time of story? Any way, why do I have to be Zeus's fiance!? If that was the deal well, I might had been Hiro's fiance, or Alfonse, or Elias. Not that Zeus is that bad, I know he's an idiot but he's very soft on the inside. But it seems like right now, I'm on his bad side. What should I do?
"Why are you against it? You don't want people to know that you have a fiance?"
"What I don't want is you saying everyone that I'm your boyfriend and then trying to boss me around all day!"
Huh? Could it be...?
"Listen, don't tell anyone that we're engaged, if you wanna go to the Academy well, go ahead. But I don't wanna you keep bother me all the time! I won't do all that you say just because it please it you! Understood? After all, is just a matter of time for me to find a way of cancel this compromise. "
I see, Clarisse said that between Zeus and I was an "enthusiastic" relationship. I guess it was her way to say that we discuss all the time. Boss him around huh? Is that what Marian does all the time? So Zeus is against it uh? That explain a lot but still...
"Ho-How rude, I already told you that I didn't know anything about this."
Even when I was trying to keep myself together, I'm weak when somebody rise his voice at me, and my voice shakes a little. I need to calm down. I avoid it him and continue the walk. I took another pat, I needed to stay away from him for a while.
"Gosh, what a big problem."
"You need help?"
I jumped in surprise and turn to see Hiro looking at me. I felt restless, I mean, I always enjoyed looking at him on my phone but here, I can't do that.
"Yo-You scared me."
"Sorry."
He stayed quite for a few moments. What should I do? What kind of relationship have Marian and Hiro? I might make another mistake.
"Oh, look, the flower I send you the other day is already blooming."
"Eh?"
I saw to where he was pointing and I saw a big blue flower on the center of a path. It was really beautiful whit the faint light of the moon upon of her.
"Ah, yea, it has become so pretty."
I smiled to him but he looked at me dead serious at the face. What? Did I mistaken again?
"So, is true?"
"Tru-True. What thing...?"
"It is true that you lost your memories."
My heart that was beating strongly a moment ago, it stopped suddenly. So, he knew. Of course, is Hiro, he can be sharp.
"You... Knew. Since when?"
"I just hear the maids saying something like that so I came to check myself. Of course I never sent you a flower, you neither speak or look at me like ever anyway. But today when we arrive your eyes were glued to me. It was strange since then. But now I see why."
I felt my face burning for embarrassment. Unfortunately there's no other pat I can take to run away.
"P-Please don't say anything. They told me that nobody should know. She'll punish the maids if she finds out too. That'll be unfair."
Hiro's eyes widen.
"Okay, this is kind of strange."
"Why you say so?"
"You're totally different from the Marian I know. She will never worry for the servants. She never smiles or speak softly at least she's plotting something."
"You're making me sound just like mother."
"Mmm... Yea, that's exactly how you are. Both are exasperating. No offense."
"Don't worry, I think I can agree whit you. It seems like I'm such a horrible person uh?"
Okay, now I see why I'm on Zeus bad side. Of course he never liked those things.
"You really hit hard from that fell huh?"
"Ah! Eh... It seems so, he hehe. "
How can I say that actually I'm not from this world!? Losing memories sounds more credible. I'll have to go whit that for now. And if is that the case then, I better gather all the information I can.
"Say, Hiro, if Zeus and I don't get along, why are we engaged? He even said that he'll find a way to cancel it. Why hasn't he done it yet?"
"Well, your mother, and you I think, convinced Zeus's mother to this."
Ah, Zeus's mother is scary to him. That makes sense.
"They're good friends so, Zeus's mother though it was a good idea. Also, your father and Zeus's father have a business right now so, is difficult for Zeus to say something like canceling."
"I see. Even if I also wanted, it seem difficult from my part too."
So basically, mom wants his daughter to marry into nobility. And they trying to caught them by business matters, so they think that a marry is convenient. How typical.
"That's right. But, you can change it if you want."
"What do you mean?"
"You seem to be nicer than before, no offense. So, why don't try to fix things whit him now? Tell him what happened."
"What? They told me to especially not to tell Zeus about it."
"Yea but that can clear a lot of misunderstandings don't you think? Zeus is not that bad as you think."
I know he's not a bad person. He always was a kind person and even when it doesn't seem like it, he was unexpectedly gentle and supportive. Maybe, Hiro is right and I should tell him. He might soften to me.
"Okay, I'll go tell him."
"Good."
I went to search Zeus again on the garden. And when I found it he of course, send me an annoying glance.
"Zeus, there's something I need to tell you."
"uh? What is it this time?"
"Well, you see, it might be hard to believe but, due to the horse falling, I get hit on my head and when I woke up, I've lost my whole memories. I didn't even remember what my name was."
Zeus stayed silent for a moment, he didn't even blink when I told him the story. Did he hear me at least?
"Mmm, I see, so now you don't remember anything uh?"
I looked at him whit hope. Does he believe me?
"Is this just another one of your tricks!?"
"Uh?"
Suddenly, my hopes shattered on pieces.
"What kind of game is that!? Do you really think I'll believe a nonsense like that? You always made up lies like that just to toy with me. That's why I didn't believe that thing of the horse when they told me at first. I just came cuz my mother forced me. And now you have amnesia? Yea right."
Zeus passed me and start walking towards the exit.
"There you are Hiro! Come on, lest get out of here. I'm sick of this place. "
Zeus really is an idiot uh?
"Umm, Marian?"
Hiro approached me from behind. I... Wasn't feeling quiet right.
"Hey, uh, I'm sorry, I... Know I encourage you to tell him but... I guess, I forgot that Zeus is also a big idiot. I should've think on that before."
"No, is okay. He's right. I'm a horrible person after all,. I shouldn't expect him to believe me. "
I felt so frustrated. Nothing of this is my fault! Why I have to bear all of this? I couldn't see Hiro in the eye so I just turned and started to leave. But a ruffle of my dress got caught on a root. Gosh! What else can go wrong! I stared to pull my skirt to free it. Stupid dress!
"Calm down, if you pulled it like that you'll ripped it."
Hiro kneeling down and carefully loose the riffle.
"There you go."
He stood up again, and my eyes fixed on the sword he was wearing on his waist. I saw his tattoo on the other arm too.
"Are you okay?"
He asked me.
"I... Remembered that I'll be going to a Magic Academy next week. But, I don't know anything about magic."
"You also forgot it?"
"I guess."
"Well, it always exists the possibility for you to remember. We still don't know how much time this will be."
"I don't know if I want to be back to who I was before. It seems that I'm not a good person."
I miss my home, I miss my family, I miss my friends. This is not what I wanted. Will I ever go back to my own world?
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right?. You are the one living now. Whoever you were in the past it has stayed behind, you don't need to behave like someone you don't know. The one you are right now is the one that matters. And while you are here you can, you know, take advantage of this life and live it to the fullest. Don't you think?"
Hiro's words sounded like he'll know about the real me. It felt like... It really makes sense... In a strange way.
"Hey, Hiro! Hurry up! What is taking you so long!?"
"And that's my call. You should come too, to say goodbye. "
"Uh, right."
"The name is Hiro, by the way. Just in case."
"Hiro. Thank you, for being so nice even when is obviously that I haven't been nice to you before. "
"Don't mind it."
He briefly smiled at me and then keep walking, he is so considerated.
We said goodbye at the entrance, and while they leave I keep thinking on Hiro's words, he made me feel a lot at ease. Hehe, he is just like in the game huh? I should live this life to the fullest uh? I headed to my room, but before climbing the stairs, someone grabbed my hair and pulled me up stairs.
"Kyaa! What...!?"
I briefly saw that it was mother the one pulling me from my hair. And she didn't let me go until we reach my room. She pushed me inside and I stumble whit my dress and fell on the ground.
"Can I know what we're you thinking?"
Now, why is she so angry now?
"What were you doing talking whit that servant?"
"Servant? You mean Hiro?"
"Your goal is Zeus! You don't have time to lose on a servant, I've told you thousands of times! The only reason that you will be sent to Gedonelune is to be closer to Zeus and marry him, that's the only way we can enter the nobility, keep that clear on your mind! That's the only thing you can do for your family that it has giving you everything. Don't forget it."
She turned and slammed the door. I didn't even have time to say anything. Is this the kind of circumstances that Marian lives then? So I guess that's the reason why she's so desperate. Oh, look at my dress! It ripped. Hiro untangle it so carefully just a minute ago. I stood up and headed to the window. Is such a stary night, Hiro's word keep sounding on my head. It doesn't matter who I was before, this is what I have now. Let's take the best of it while it last! The good part is that I'll get out of here and I'll be on that place where so many adventures happens! Let this dream last all that it wants!
To be continued...
