mr benedict: [wildly flapping hands around] i don’t need drugs, number two! i’m high on life! number two, crossing her arms: okay, first of all, antidepressants aren’t just “drugs”! they’re prescription medications that can be very effective and beneficial. mr benedict: [grumpily waves her off bc he has no rebuttal] number two: second of all, openly sobbing for an entire afternoon is not what i’d describe as being “HIGH ON LIFE”.

2012 Donnie x reader Incorrect Quotes
Got a request to do a Donnie version of this Raph x reaader post, so here it is lol
Side note, I did this with 2012 Dee in mind, but most versions should work fine.
***
(Y/N): I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.
Donnie: Wow. They sound stupid.
(Y/N): But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.
Donnie: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”
(Y/N): I guess you’re right. Hey Donnie, I love you.
Donnie: See! Just say that!
(Y/N): Holy fucking shit.
Donnie: If that flies over their head then, sorry (Y/N), but they're too dumb for you.
(Y/N): Donnie.
***
(Y/N): Am I right, Donnie?
Donnie: I’m almost certain you’re not, but to be fair, I wasn’t listening.
***
(Y/N): Donnie, you love me, right?
Donnie: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won’t like.
***
Mikey: Ooh, somebody has a cru-ush
Donnie: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on (Y/N) I just think they’re cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about them.
*Later that night*
Donnie, very much awake: Uh oh.

Leo: Yeah, they did.
Donnie: And did I just do finger guns back?

Donnie: So you're looking for information on this thing, huh? Well, I feel like it must be from far away.
(Y/N): What makes you say that?
Donnie: If it's something even I don't know about, then I'm sure nobody else must have a clue. So it's gotta be from some faraway place. Impeccable reasoning, isn't it?

Donnie: *screams in anger*

***
Leo: Do you love Donnie?
(Y/N): Yeah, I do.
Mikey: Leo! I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 bucks!
Leo: We all love Donnie. You should've asked if they were IN love with them.
(Y/N): I thought that was implied.
Leo: ...
Mikey: ...
(Y/N), looking straight at Leo: Congrats Mikey, you just won 100 bucks.
***
Mikey: *sees (Y/N) and Donnie together*

Donnie: And sometimes I even think about talking to them.
***

Chaos of 35 Portland Row
Pairing: Platonic!George Karim x Fem!Reader, Platonic!Lucy Carlyle x Fem!Reader, Romantic!Anthony Lockwood x Fem!Reader
A/n: This is an Incorrect Quotes fic. They all belong to the sources that they came from, I got them from an Incorrect quotes generator.
Warnings: Swearing, Chaos.
Tumblr media
Lucy, spraying a melted cutting board with a tiny water gun: We gotta cool this bitch down. Cool it down.
Lockwood: I actually just put the cutting board in the oven...
George, visibly confused: Okay, so they decided to put the cutting board in the oven?
Lucy, spraying Lockwood: You FUCKING DUMBASS!
Lockwood: Dude, I forgot-
Lucy: OH MY FUCKING GOD! We're trying to make Chicken Alfredo right now, and you fucking MELT the cutting board in the oven at 400 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!?
Y/n: *Watching in complete confusion while trying to process this whole situation.*
-
Lockwood: Guess what I'm about to get!
Y/n: On my nerves.
-
Y/n: Is this a good idea?
Y/n: Probably not.
Y/n: Do I care?
Y/n: No
-
Lockwood: What is love?
George: An emotional minefield.
Y/n: A neurochemical reaction.
Lucy: Baby don't hurt me.
-
George: I am convinced Y/n and Lockwood share a brain cell.
Lucy: And it's not in use very often, it seems.
-
Lockwood: That's ridiculous, Y/n doesn't have a crush on me.
Lucy: Yes she does.
George: Yes she does.
Y/n: Yes I do.
-
Lucy: How do Lockwood and Y/n usually get out of these messes?
George: They don't. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out.
-
George: So, Y/n is no longer allowed to take the rubbish out at night.
Lucy: Why?
George: Because I've caught her trying to train raccoons to fight five times in a row.
Y/n, arms crossed and pouting: You'll be thanking me when the third raccoon battalion saves your arse.
-
Lucy: We’re about to do the taser challenge. You want in?
George: What's the taser challenge?
Y/n: We tase eachother, then drink.
George: How do you win?
Lucy: What are you, a lawyer? You want in or not?
-
Lockwood: If you want my advice-
George: No offense but you’re the last person I want relationship advice from. You tried to kill your girlfriend. Multiple times.
Lockwood: First off, that was before we started dating. Secondly, she's also tried to kill me.
Y/n: It’s true. It was mutually attempted murder.
-
Y/n: There's no way he would like me back.
George: Lockwood would throw himself in front of a moving car for you.
Y/n: Lockwood would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.
-
*George drunkenly wanders around the house and Lockwood is drunkenly giggling*
Lucy, completely sober: *sighs* Well, looks like it's just me and you against the wold, Y/n.
Y/n, going to her and Lockwood's room: Nope, just you. *shuts door*
-
*Lockwood and Y/n are planning to break in somewhere*
Lockwood: We need to distract the guards.
Y/n: Right.
Lockwood: What are we gonna do?
Y/n: I'm gonna break their elbows while you poke their eyes.
Lockwood:
Y/n:
Lockwood: Deal
-
Lockwood: I WOULD DESTROY THE WORLD FOR YOU!
Y/n: Okay, can you do the dishes?
Lockwood: No!
-
Y/n: I wish I was a cat, but not in a furry kinda way, more like a “I can sleep all day and hit people with no consequences” kinda way.
-
Y/n: You don't think I can fight because of my gender!
Kipps: I don't think you can fight because you're in a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Lockwood can fight in that dress either.
Lockwood: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.
I hope you all like this, sorry it was not what I normally post

How’s it going @waterfire1848 ?
I saw your earlier post about Lin feeling like Toph didn’t love her like Suyin. And it got me thinking, who else didn’t think their mom loved as much as their sibling? Azula.
So how do you think a scenario, where Lin runs away from home and stumbles (perhaps quite literally) into Azula. Whom is living in secret somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. Azula then reluctantly at first (then genuinely) raises Lin would play out?
Hey @745voiceofthepeople ! Great to see you again! I'm doing good! You?
Ohhhhhh. Interesting.
I’ll start by saying that I don’t think Lin would say who her mom is. She knows by now that that either means trouble or people following her, begging her to teach them metalbending. Neither of which she wants. So when she does slam into Azula, she just says she’s a kid running from home.
Azula can’t help but feel some sympathy when she hears the girl talk about how her mom doesn’t love her and only cares about her sister so she agrees to let Lin stay as long as she helps out and doesn’t draw attention to her.
Lin quickly grows to love Azula. I don’t know if this Lin would be a kid/teen who ran from home or if she’s running away right after the Suyin incident but either way she loves Azula. She hasn’t put two and two together, but she does know Azula has a past she’s not talking about. Whenever the two talk about family, Azula uses the same tricks she does to keep her family secret.
One day, Toph shows up (I assume she’d come if Lin was a kid/teen but I don’t know about if she’d come after the Suyin incident when Lin looks to be in her 20s) and Azula and Lin find out who the other is. Lin is confused because on the one hand, this is not the Azula she’s heard stories about. The Azula from her mom’s stories are terrifying and made Suyin wet the bed. This Azula is kind and took Lin in. On the other hand, Lin also got stories from the other Gaang parents about Azula (meaning there might be some truth to their stories) so she becomes a little scared which saddens Azula because she doesn’t want to see this girl that she’s grown to really care for get scared of her.
Azula can’t stay in her Earth Kingdom home and is forced to flee before Zuko finds her. Lin returns to Republic City but gets a letter a few days later from Azula giving her her address and an invitation to come with.
Lin accepting or not is up to you.
Incorrect quote for this
[ Lin is running from bandits and slams into Azula. ]
Bandit: Hand the kid over!
Azula: And why would I do that?
Bandit: We have you surrounded, old woman. Don’t make this hard on yourself. We just want her and then we’ll leave.
[ Azula looks at Lin. ]
Lin:
Azula: *Groaning* I was really hoping to get through a day without fighting.
[ Shoots lightning and fire at the bandits to scare them off. ]
Lin: You’re a lightning bender! That was amazing! I’ve never seen-
Azula: Explain. Now.
Lin: MymomhatesmeandIranaway,butIranoutofmoneyandstolefromthosebandits!
Azula: Slower.
Lin: My mom hates me and I ran away, but I ran out of money and stole from those bandits. They saw me and chased me and that’s how I ended up here.
Azula: Go home, kid.
Lin: Wha-No.
Azula: No?
Lin: No. I won’t bother you anymore but I can’t go home.
Azula: Because you mom hates you?
Lin: Yeah. I’m just some kid she’s forced to take care of because putting me up for adoption would look bad. My sister is her real kid.
Azula: *Sigh* You’re out of food?
[ Lin nods. ]
Azula: Come with me. I’ll get you something to eat and some water.

I See You - Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Pairing: Hangman x Phoenix
Word Count: 2k
Warnings: enemies to lovers (not yet tho), slow burn, slight swearing, for sure some military inaccuracies, third person POV
Summary: Phoenix hates Hangman's guts. But she cares about her friends more, and Hangman is making her best friend miserable. About a month ago, Hangman started picking on Bob again. No one knows why he started his jeering up again, but Phoenix is willing to pay anything to make it stop. But what happens when that price is a date? And what happens when it turns out that Jake Seresin actually isn't the worst company?
A/N: I had the idea for this fic after I saw a fanfic quote prompt somewhere: "I brought you a juice." (I can't find the user it was from, but if you do please let me know so I can credit them!) From there I wrote a cute little Hangman x reader incorrect Top Gun quote post, but I realized it was such a Hangman x Phoenix interaction so Jabber and I collaborated over some ideas and this baby was born!
This story is written fully in 3rd person, so omnipotent narrator who reads the other characters minds occasionally, but it takes place mostly from Phoenix’s POV.
Also I may have completely made up correction sensors, but they’re based off whatever targeting system that malfunctions during the “mission” in the movie. They never get mentioned again, please leave them alone. They are sensitive and valid.
Chapter Song(s): Mean, NO, CHOKE
****
"That’s a kill!" Bob’s excited voice came crackling through the radio in the Daggers’ break room.
The room erupted with cheers. No one had been able to down Hangman in this week’s exercises on targeting without the correction sensors so far, but Bob’s quick thinking and steady hand had finally done it. Hangman’s gloating would be replaced by cheers of Bob’s name that day in the lockers. A welcome reprieve.
Back in the air, Phoenix was pumping her fists in the air and flipping off an unknowing Hangman. "Suck it, Bagman! We got your butt good!" the aviator called through the radio. "That’s how we do it over here with the smoothest duo in the Daggers! Great job, Bob! MVP of the exercise for sure.”
The shy backseater blushed lightly beneath his oxygen mask. He still got flustered over the smallest compliments, no matter how many times his supportive squad mates clapped him on the back or clasped his shoulders singing his praises. He stumbled over his words as he squinted against the sun in his eyes, making getting the words out even harder, "I, uh, you—you basically lined up the shot for me, Phoenix, I just pressed the button."
"Nah, that was all you, Bob. Don’t sell yourself short." Phoenix insisted proudly.
"No, please do sell yourself short, Baby," Hangman interjected with a laugh, the cockiness and resentment were practically dripping from his voice, even through the radio.
"Please go screw yourself, Bagman," Phoenix spat back. "Ignore him, Bob, you did amazing."
"It’s okay, Phoenix; he’s just joking." Bob said, always trying to keep the peace, especially between Phoenix and Hangman. Bob was getting pretty good at standing up for himself, but the two of them always seemed to be at each other’s throats and Bob found that he was usually, unintentionally, the reason.
"I wasn’t, actually," Hangman quipped again.
Phoenix’s blood was about to boil; if it wasn’t likely to get both her and Bob a court martial, she’d dive on the cocky blond's plane just to give him a good scare. Instead, she settled for some "playful" verbal abuse.
"Bagman, everything everyone says behind your back is true."
"Was that meant to hurt my feelings, Phoenix?"
"I swear the only reason they let you fly solo is because your WSO would purposely sabotage you both just to get some damn peace."
"Oh, really? That the best you got?" Hangman taunted.
The breezy jovial feeling that had filled the air of the jet just moments before had gone stale, and instead a thick layer of smog-like anger had fallen over the aircraft cockpit. The temperature within had surely gone up by at least a few degrees with all the red hot words flying from Phoenix's mouth into her mic.
Bob's cheeks glowed to a flaming red as he listened to the two pilots bickering, entire body tense, helpless to remove himself from the mid-air argument, just waiting for the right moment to interject. He’d been in this situation many times before—he knew the drill. But that didn't make him any less uncomfortable. "Okay, c’mon, guys—" he began timidly, yet a level of assertion still came through in his voice.
"Great work, aviators!" Mav’s voice came like a shock over the radio, squashing the argument before it could manage to turn physical. No student had died on Mav's watch so far, and he wasn't looking to change that any time soon. Especially because 'purposeful collision due to mid-flight training disagreement' would not go over well on an accident report. "Let’s get these birds back on the ground. It’s quitin' time!"
--
Steam filled the empty locker room. Phoenix breathed deeply as she stepped out of the shower. She always felt like she had gained a new life after her shower at the end of each day; the amount of sweat produced under those flight suits was ungodly. She also liked to imagine that the boiling water was washing away all the boys’ BS that she had gone through that day. She loved, almost, all of them—though she’d never tell them that—but being the only girl on a team of men, Navy men, was rough. She was sure at least two of them truly were raised in a barn, and she knew Bob and Rooster were the only ones who even knew what the word "filter" meant.
She thought on her boys fondly, unable to hold back her smile, as she toweled off her hair behind the emotional privacy of the her locker door. She'd never dare show this side to them. This was still the military, after all, and she was still a woman. No matter how many times she proved herself tougher than the men around her, her and soft emotions were not allowed to coexist without ridicule. Wiping the condensation off of the mirror, she looked at her own face in the tinny glass, it had been hardened over her time in the Navy, and it reminded her of the look of rage on Hangman’s as they clambered back into the hanger. She laughed lightly. That was without a doubt the best thing she’d seen in weeks. She wished she could’ve had it photographed so she could look at it when she was having a bad day.
She didn’t truly hate the cocky pilot, but she had been nearing the line between it and mere distaste with his recent antics. After their first mission together, it had seemed like all grudges between any of the Daggers had been squashed; Hangman and Bob had been fully civil up until a couple weeks ago when Hangman decided to make the younger pilot his verbal target practice. Everyone had noticed the shift, but no one could tell exactly what triggered it. Bob had finally started to stand up for himself in the past couple days, which Phoenix was thankful for because any time anyone else said anything to Hangman, the treatment just got worse. It needed to end, and soon. Phoenix was ready to string Hangman up, but she knew acting out would only risk getting both her and Bob disciplined. She didn’t know what she was going to do. But she was sure as hell going to do something.
She finished getting ready to head home and slung her backpack over her shoulder. She tossed her hair into a loose bun as she walked out of the lockers, preparing to face the scorching heat already constantly present even this early into the California summer. Fanboy intercepted her in the hall outside the locker rooms. His face immediately told her that whatever he was about to say wasn’t another corny joke about his favorite tv series.
"There’s something you should know," he said.
--
"BAGMAN!"
Lt. Jake "Hangman" Seresin might not have finished at the very top of his classes, but he was smart enough to know that that yell could only mean one thing: he was about to get the chew out of a lifetime from one Lt. Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. He pulled his signature toothpick out of his mouth before turning on his heel to see the livid brunette storming down the hall, fire ablaze in her eyes.
If anyone else had been in the vicinity, they would've sworn they felt the temperature shift.
"What the hell, Hangman?" Phoenix barked, shoving a hand roughly into his chest, and sending the unprepared man stumbling back a couple steps with an unsophisticated mix between a "WOAH!" and "HEY!"
"What do you mean ‘what the hell'?" Hangman shot back, gathering himself and stepping forward, squaring his broad shoulders towards her. "You can't just attack a man without telling him what he did to provoke it."
Phoenix's face was now inches from his. Hangman could feel the rage on the heat of her breath.
"Watch me," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "Don't even start that crap with me. You know full well what you did."
"Humor me." Hangman said with the same tone he would have used in a casual conversation with a friend, which this situation very much was not.
There was finger in his face. He pretended there wasn't, looking past it directly into Phoenix's face.
"I am so fed up with your immature little grudge against, Bob."
"I didn't know I ever had one."
Hangman's tone was aloof, and it drove Phoenix crazy. How could he be such a prick? All she wanted to do was punch him in the jaw. She didn’t know why she always felt like she was about to explode with Hangman, no one else made it so difficult for her to keep her emotions in check, but she held it together—this time. She wasn't going to make herself any promises for the future.
"You two were supposed to be cool after the mission, I thought you had agreed to lay off him! I don't know who you think you are, but Bob is just as, if not more, qualified as any of us to be here. And you know it! But your fragile little ego just can't take that he's smarter than you, can it?" She practically spat the last words, ensuring they hit Hangman square in the face.
Phoenix saw his eyes soften for just a second and knew that she'd hit a nerve, but his expression didn’t change. He just continued to look at her with that same stupid, smug expression he always wore.
"And I have laid off him. He's not my concern any longer." He shrugged, popped the toothpick he'd been holding back into his mouth, and started to turn away. Phoenix forcefully grabbed his arm.
Her grip was stronger than Hangman assumed it would be.
"Really? 'Cause that's not what it looked like to Fanboy when he saw you corner him in the lockers after that last flying exercise. He said you looked ready to throttle Bob before he stepped in. That's low, even for you. We got you fair and square in that exercise. If you don't want to lose, try not making stupid mistakes. And one more thing," Phoenix said, leaning into Hangman's face, fists clenched so tightly at her sides they were pure red. "If you ever try taking your sore loss out on Bob again, we will be having a very different conversation that will not be much of a conversation at all."
"Is that a threat, Trace?" Hangman said coolly, a smirk on his face.
"It's a promise," Phoenix snapped, pushing past him forcefully, her shoulder smacking into his.
Hangman dropped his head and laughed, his tongue twirling the toothpick in his mouth. Head still lowered, he called after the receding footsteps, "Wow, I didn't know you had a heart, but since you clearly care so much about him, I'll leave Bob alone."
The footsteps stopped. Hangman turned to face them, shaking his head lightly.
"But it's gonna cost you."
Phoenix cocked one eyebrow in an ‘I knew this was coming' fashion.
"Really?" She said, crossing her arms over her chest, taking a step closer.
"Really." Hangman shot back joyfully, also taking a step closer. He was clearly enjoying this.
"Fine. I'll bite. What's your price?"
"Go on a date with me."
Phoenix scoffed, staring at him agape as if she hadn't heard him correctly or refused to believe he'd actually said what she thought he said.
"That's the worst joke you've ever made, Bagman, and you've made a lot of bad jokes." She scoffed again as she turned and continued toward the exit.
"Maybe because it wasn't a joke." There wasn't a drop of sarcasm in his voice.
"You’ve got to be kidding me," said Phoenix, turning back to him again.
"You want me to leave Bob alone? That's my price. One date, and we'll never have this issue again. I promise." He held up three fingers in a "scouts honor" kind of way.
"You’re insufferable, Bagman," Phoenix said. With that, she turned and walked down the hallway, silently fuming.

GENRE
Fiction - somewhere between suspense & fantasy in a dystopian future
Sublime Grimdark
sublime (n.) - art that refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation
grimdark (n.) - a genre of fiction, especially fantasy fiction, characterized by disturbing, violent, or bleak subject matter and a dystopian setting.
STATUS
Drafting
AESTHETIC / TROPES
Greek mythology, corrupt government, social outcasts, QUEER!!, heavy themes of abuse (both power and familial), mental health, (stealing some from book 1) trans men's wrongs, anti-establishment, friends to lovers to strangers to enemies to ????, tattoos and piercings as a form of therapy, bullying as an act of love, etc etc
(it got kinda long so I put the rest of the info under the cut :) )
SUMMARY
An anti-establishment retelling of the fall of Icarus.
Ten years. Ten years of solitude, of surviving, of hiding. It has been ten long years of navigating the world alone, of planning how he would exact his revenge on those who have wronged him once he gets the chance.
A chance he has yet to receive. He's just one man, one cast out kid. How can he expect to go against a corporation as large as ATLAS alone?
Only he isn't alone, and it is time to make his move.
Διαφθορά is a tragic continuation of Δάιος, following Icarus as he and his dysfunctional found family lay the groundwork for a revolution. It seems like everything is going in his favor so far, even as the appearance of his sunshine throws him off-kilter. Will that continue as protests rise up throughout the country in his name?
MAIN CHARACTERS (BY THEIR CODE NAME)
Icarus (he/they) - We all know Icky baby, he is the man we see the story through the eyes of! Icarus is a chronically exhausted autistic trans man with a caffeine addiction and anger issues. (i suppose he's babygirl too idk)
Apollon (he/him) - I guess he's the love interest for Icarus but he's best known as my beloathed. Apollon is the #2 Elysian just two years after his debut! He is a childhood friend/lover? of Icarus' and perpetual pain in his ass.
Andromeda (they/them) - Our mama bear. Andromeda may share the same name as me, but they are not based on me. Rather, they are heavily based on a good friend of mine. Meda is the oldest, they take care of the group and make sure that everyone comes back alive and well. They don't specialize in fighting, but in healing. Particularly herbal and natural remedies (remember, lavender for anxiety and antibiotics for a fucking infection)
Achilles (he/him) - Another childhood friend of Icarus. He is Icarus' adopted little brother and right hand man.
Thanatos (he/him) - The information broker of the group. He specializes in getting what he needs to get and doing so discreetly, a huge benefit for Icarus' group. He is gender non-conforming and is a lovely person to be around, so long as your name isn't Icarus.
The Elysians - The figureheads of the government. They basically have free reign to enforce the laws of the land. The most notable of the Elysians are Daedalus (#1 rank), Nyx (not ranked, she operates out of sight), Casseopeia (former #2 rank), Prometheus (#5), and Thetis (#9). Each of them specializes in different fighting styles based on their mythological code name.

Okay, so, I missed the prompt for yesterday but I still want to do it. Sooo. Here we goo.
What Kotlc means to me
There's something kind of special about how I got here, in a really strange way. There's something special about it. Being 15 and trying to read every single book in the library. Picking up a book because I need somewhere else to go, someone else's life to live. Reading the entire series through Nightfall in 3 days.
I never looked back, to be honest? I had huge opinions and my cousin had read the books and another friend of mine has also read the books so I talked about it with them, and the Flashback came out and I read it and got so annoyed with Fitz and Alden. Like, literally. Part of my love and attachment to this series was born from my distinct hatred of specific characters.
And I'd never been one to write fanfic. My mom had thoroughly pounded it into my head that fanfic wasn't real writing, and that I should be doing more real things with my work. I guess, with kotlc? I decided that didn't matter?
Who cares if it's not real writing, I enjoy it deeply and I loved sharing it with other people? It brought so much joy to me when I was able to capture the voices of Keefe and Sophie in Walk Through Hell. I remember sitting there and thinking "This sounds like something Shannon would write".
And I remember recommending the books to everyone. My then-boyfriend took me up on reading it, and fell in love with it, too, and I think that was the only time he ever liked my writing, when I sent him the Google doc for Walk Through Hell.
I was a Pinterest fan for a long while, and Tumblr posts in the making lurk in the comments sections of the kotlc pins. I went on mini rants about how Keefe and Sophie and even Fitz, even though I changed my tune about him after a while of character analysis. But nobody really interacts on Pinterest. Comments get likes or maybe a comment back, but it's not a social media. It's just media. No social. Like YouTube.
So like, in a really dark part of my life, I started posting stuff to AO3. And it just opened up this world where I could write and discuss my thoughts through my writing? If I had something to say I could say it, even if it was writing a fanfic about it and posting it, qnd people would see it! People would comment, or leave kudos!! It was insane.
And, eventually, I joined Tumblr.
You would not believe how freaked out I was the first time @hunkyhair-my-beloved interacted with one of my posts. Like. Holy crap. You guys don't understand how much of my Pinterest collection of kotlc stuff was their incorrect quotes. Like, not even kidding. I literally felt like I was interacting with a celebrity.
So, I guess.
Kotlc is writing stories. Kotlc is getting mad at characters and writing a 6k dissertation on why they're awful, or a 10k thesis about why they're misunderstood. Kotlc is reading the tags of the people who reblog stuff from me. Kotlc is rolling my eyes at @fintan-pyren. Kotlc is giggling at incorrect quotes and crying when I think about songs that fit Keefe's character. Kotlc is sharing my stupid media analysis with people who actually love hearing it, and enjoy my nonsense enough to stick around and come back for more.
Like, I look back on it now and I'm like, ah, yes. I coped with my spiraling life by writing about Linh Song in a similar situation to me. I wrote about Sophie to understand myself. I wrote about Keefe to get inside my own head and understand the pieces of my own broken heart. Yada yada yada.
At the time, I wasn't thinking about any of that. I was just doing something fun.
Kotlc for me is being up at 1 in the morning writing so that I finish the next chapter. It's grinning at AO3 comments and laughing with you crazies. Kotlc is just.... Fun. Kotlc is so much fun.
As much as I can get worked up over the ways I think canon is lacking, stars.
Kotlc means a whole lot to me.

Hi
I wanted to say some stuff before we entered the new year. (Ahem at least in Eastern Standard Time)
I made this blog shortly after I got enough money to join the discord and realized that there’s quite the community for this D&D podcast, Unprepared Casters, that has brought me a lot of joy. And, as always, the way that I show my appreciation for source material is to back it up with fan content.
Look fan content can be as or more powerful than official ad campaigns haha.
But anyways, I wanted to boost what this fandom had to offer. (Also, I wanted somewhere to post my fan work that wasn’t behind a paywall) And so I made this little side account on tumblr (not a Twitter guy, and now with Elon maybe that’s a good thing).
This blog has lead me to find lots of cool artwork, fanfic, incorrect quotes, memes, analysis, etc about this fun little D&D podcast. Plus… like a community? I never really did that with any of my previous fandoms before, it’s really sweet. I was even inspired to write fic of my own just from convos I had with yall.
I never thought that I’d get that from this funky little side blog. Anyway, I hope to keep the energy going into 2023.
To the new year!
