---

It had only been a few years since the government released the information regarding their acknowledgment of vampires living among humans, following it with new laws and regulations to make living beside each other a safe and harmonious experience. Restaurants had to expand their menus, and grocery stores did not have to partner with blood banks or donation centers to ensure everyone was accommodated appropriately. Those are all wonderful options but once the sun sets and hunger arises, people resort to…less organized or regulated options… Underground clubs started to pop up left and right, causing a quiet stir among the more curious humans. One of them happened to be the very reason you found yourself sitting in front of your mirror and getting ready for a night out.

“I don’t know why you’re so nervous to go, I’ve been going for months” Kelly was on a whining spree again as you finished up your eyeliner. She was a regular at the club, forming a feeding pact with some guy she said was named Yeosang if you remember correctly-. A change was definitely noticed in her ever since she started seeing him, from her hair looking better, her skin being clearer, and this air of confidence coming from her every time she walked into a room as if she was commanding attention. You wanted that life so badly, you wanted even an ounce of the power she was oozing… “Oh I don’t know, maybe the idea of someone biting into me and sucking my literal blood out is just a bit nerve-wracking?” Your retort had her rolling her eyes in a playful demeanor as you both slipped your shoes on to head out. Clubs weren't really your thing, you were a homebody, and the idea of a bunch of hot and sweaty strangers grinding on each other just didn’t seem like your cup of tea…But here you were, standing at the door waiting for Kelly to pay your cover and get your hand stamped.

An intoxicating smell of alcohol and sweat filled your senses as you made it through the threshold of the building you questioned the structural safety of-. There was no time for trying to distract your mind with small worries like that, you felt yourself getting tugged to the bar where Kelly let out a sort of squeal from seeing her feeding mate “Yeosang!!” Oh boy, here we go, It's time for her to cling to this dude and have heart eyes while leaving you to the wind. “This is Y/N~ That friend I told you I was bringing for Jongho~” Jongho? Who the hell was that? Did she only bring you along to keep some guy company while she escaped off with Yeosang-. “Her? Yeah, I guess she fits his…type” What an ass, what did he mean by that? you were a catch so why did that feel so condescending? He was eyeing you up and down as if he was analyzing you, all the while he had your friend strung up on his arm.

Yeosang pulled out his phone and typed a few things, you could tell it was short and brief from the fact that his volume was on so the sound of his keyboard echoed in your ears when it should have been the blaring music attacking your drums. He didn’t seem to respond to what he had read on the screen, moving his phone to his pocket and whispering something to Kelly as you stood there like a child waiting to hear whatever mom and dad were talking about. You would never get the answer to the questions in your mind, since Kelly had pretty much begged Yeosang to escape away behind the curtain to what you could only assume were private rooms for whatever use seemed to be needed at the time. A roll of your eyes was paired with the sound of her happily being led away and leaving you there at the bar with your almost empty glass and an urge to order some shots.

“Y/N I’m assuming?” The voice that you heard beside you could only be described as blunt but buttery like he almost commanded you to look at him and that's exactly what you did. His eyes pierced into yours as he approached the bar and leaned against it in a way that indicated to you that he had definitely been here before. “And who is asking?” Your voice was laced with a tone of your guard being up, leaving you only to assume this is the ‘friend’ everyone had been mentioning… “Yeosang told me someone was coming and asked me to show you around.” Oh, he’s lying right through his teeth but your judgment was becoming slightly hazy, due to the mix of alcohol and being around him. Jongho could tell you were on edge so he went ahead and ordered a shot for you and waited for you to down it before gesturing for you to follow him. ‘Do you know what this place is for? I’m assuming you do since people don’t just stumble into a place like this”

Did he think you were dumb? Or just blissfully ignorant? If you wern’t so dead set on getting some action tonight, you’d yank your hand away and head to the dance floor. “I sort of have an idea, I just had no idea it was like…this?” There was a pause as you spoke, watching the curtains go past you as he lead you down the hall and your ears were immediately assaulted with sounds of pleasure mixed with pain and subtle cries coming from behind rows of doors. One of which was the threshold you would be stepping through and it was like the world was suddenly so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. “I’m not going to kill you, you don’t have to act like your ready to slap me” Jongho released your hand and moved to sit on the plush looking couch in the room, grabbing the drink menu off the small coffee table and starting to browse through as he left you to make yourself comfortable.

“I just uh, haven’t really done this before…” you slowly warmed up to your environment, deciding to make your way over and sit beside him but still at a reasonable distance to where he couldn’t immediately pounce on you. “I can tell, I’m guessing your friend convinced you, enticed you with what kind of place this was and how you would feel?” How did he know? He hit the nail right in the head-. Kelly would go on non stop about Yeosang and how the interactions felt and how it revitalized her in a way, is this just how it makes everyone feel? “She used to be more like me, I guess that’s why we became so close, but lately she’s seemed like a whole new person, like the better version of herself”. As you spoke, he kept his eyes on the menu and just offered subtle nods or small sounds of acknowledgment to your words.

“Did she explain to you how this happens exactly?” This is when he finally turns to you, eye starting to have a hint of red to them and an obvious darkness filling his gaze. “You just have to lay there and be good for me, give yourself to me and everything will go smoothly. Can you do that for me baby?” The distance between you two started to close and you had no idea what was taking over your body. Was it your growing neediness or was there something more to that tint in his iris?…either way, all you could do was nod obediently as he moved you to lay down, his body leaning over yours as he gazed over you to take a look at his…meal for the evening. “I need you to tell me this is okay, that you give consent my dear…” for someone who seemed like a predator looking at fresh prey, we was considerably cautious in the beginning. That is, until you uttered a quiet “I want this” then it was all self control out the window and his lips attached to yours for what felt like eternity but in reality was only a few moment before those plush lips of his were moving their way down to your jaw, then your neck, giving him the chance to get a hint of your sweet smell.

“Do you even realize how delicious you smell…god this is going to be fun” Jongho didn’t frequent the club much, so he made sure to take full advantage of the time he had here, fingers trailing down until the reach the bottom hem of your dress, expertly slipping it up as his attack on your neck continues and all you can do is let out the sweet song that he wanted to hear. Jongho shifted his body to where he was further down and his face was now near your thighs and burning core, exactly where you needed him as he laid kisses to your inner thigh and his fingers worked to slip your undergarments down and tossing them aside to be collected later. be collected later. They were not the primary focus, what was however, was the breath tickling your core and the fingers dancing dangerously close to your clit that was practically begging to be touched.

“Can you hurry up, it will be daytime by the time you get started..” the request, or demand rather, came out as just a whine and the flushed tone on your skin gave away at the fact that you didn’t actually want him to hurry and end this soon. In fact, this prompted him to take even longer, his thumb drawing slow antagonizing circles on your bundle on nerves as he spoke “For someone so quiet. You sure have your own way of being loud”. You could hear his smug attitude without even seeing his face with those words, his hands working expertly before one of his digits teased at your entrance, testing the waters in how you would react. Once he found a reaction from you that let him know you were ready, he slipped one finger in and let you get used to the feeling before continuing.

The cold touch of his skin felt like ice melting on you when your walls squeezed his fingers so deliciously, it brought a whole new sensation to your core and made you clench so sweetly as his lips did their job to explore your inner thighs. Was all of this necessary for Jongho to feed on you? No, but it sure as hell made it more fun. The next touch made you shift slightly, almost like your fight or flight was kicking in and your brain was in prey mode. Newer textbooks and scientific journals can do their best to try and describe the feeling of having your skin punctured by a vampire's fangs but they fall short in telling the full story. It starts with a burning sensation and what feels like a fourteen gauge needle breaking your skin but not deep enough to reach muscle quite like a vaccination or implant. Once the initial puncture was complete, his teeth receding to standard k-9s and the blood starting to flow past his slightly puffy lips and coating his tongue, inducing a groan from him that seemed so animalistic yet erotic at the same time…

The work he was doing with his fingers increased in pace as he sensed you tensing up from the likely pain you were starting to feel, adding an extra finger in and curling his digits pressing against that delicate pressure point inside of you that he knew would drive you crazy. Bloody lips pulled themselves away from your thigh. His gaze stabbed daggers into your expressions, watching the mixture of pain and pleasure overtake you as he spoke “That’s it, focus on me, not on your pain…you’re so good for me…” ironic coming from the guy that’s gripping your thigh as if you could float away and your blood painting his chin. Jongho was growing increasingly hungry but this time in a way that blood wouldn’t be able to satiate, he needed another essence of yours…that however, would take time, he didn’t want to have the whole meal right away.

A knot was quickly forming in your lower half, there was no denying that his hands were like a sculptor making his next piece of art. Pleasure washed over you as you unraveled, causing a smug smirk to decorate his mouth and make his features look all that more proud. The bit of your blood staining his lips was just a cherry on top of the overall look he had as you started to sit back up but your body felt so weak from the feeding and the end of your dry spell. “See, wasn’t so bad was it?” He prided himself in the fact that you wernt crying in pain and still managed to look fucked out from his fingers alone, wiping his mouth and helping you sit up and collect yourself. This rush of dizziness but satisfaction was all you could feel as you reached to grab your panties and slip back into them as he settled himself into the couch, watching your every move but also going back to that damn drink menu. Is this how all the interactions always went or was this only for the first one?

“Do I need to sign anything or is there anything else involved?” This was your way of trying to hint to him that you satisfied but also this lingering sense to be around him, almost like you two have bonded… “No but next time don’t wear lotion, it messes with the taste when I need to bite”. That damn smirk was going to be the end of you but you couldn’t help but smile to yourself mentally at the idea there was going to be a next time. Was it already having an affect on you? Only time will tell but one thing was for sure, this wasn’t going to be the last time you stepped behind that curtain. Now to find Kelly and actually get a club experience in before you needed food to replenish-. Hopefully she was done already, but if she wasn’t, you knew where you could turn…

//long rambling

There is a vent in the last part (about pro ship:/+ wired shipping + block list) it's naturally negative so reading at your own risk.

So in the new Batman and Robin issue #7 Nika's sister making an appearance, got me thinking of other possibilities for sibling characters to come back.

Mostly I’m thinking about Respawn since he is Joshua Williamson's own character. And He made Respawn appeared in the last issue of Robin(2021), he also brought back Mara in that run too (just some appearance in the later issue).

And now Joshua Williamson is writing Batman and Robin, so naturally he can bring some characters back in this run. He had said in an interview that he might have figured out a way(try) to bring back Maya.

Throwback to 2022 of this old wip/art I made, is about what I think the emo teens of Lazarus squad dynamic would look like.

I imagine Nika and Respaw are irritated/tolerate with each other but would stay for Damian because Nika is Damian's girlfriend and they want to stick together. Meanwhile, Damian likes to include his half-brother in some fun activities (Respawn is acting reluctant bc of his own issues but he actually likes to have friends and feel include).

I haven’t finished this art bc I was going to add more wips (with other characters like Rose and Hawke) to make it a post. I didn't finish this art back then bc I was afraid Talia fans would be mad at me for drawing Respawn.

Trust me, I hate that Talia gets associated with Deathstroke like this, but I think Respawn is a confused/mistreated teen character and Damian (bless his heart and soul) still wants to be his brother regarding the whole mess. I will explain/talk more about my thoughts on Respawn as a character and his situations once I finish these drawings and get ready to post them.

Writing/typing words is harder than drawing for me personally. Drawing is like channeling my energy into a picture and forming an atmosphere and hopefully people will understand what thoughts and feelings I was trying to convey. Writing is using more brain powers to choose the correct and cohesive words, so people would not misunderstand what I'm talking about. Especially when English is not my first language, and even so I normally don't talk(write) much in my mother tongue either…(I'm not a quick thinker, it took me a longer time to think things through, writing literally exhausted me physically and mentally more than drawing.)

It doesn't mean I don't enjoy writing, it's just not my first choice to convey thoughts… but considering I can't draw everything I have in my mind and it takes even longer time to finish any art, I just need to write down things first from now on. Tumblr is the only place I can think of that has this longer text feature blog post and I'm more familiar with this platform format. So I will still be here posting my fan content.

.

(↓Vent, if you want to avoid being block by me then read down below.)

I must say I will forever hate respawn x flatline as ship, cus I know who started this ship and their reasons behind it—Don’t let the new character develop naturally as the story goes, let’s put them in made-up weird situations first so I can prop up my own ship!😍 And get both of the new characters out of the way, since no one would defend them so I can fanon the hell out of them by making them look bad all around!🤞 (What if I stone you first hand🪨🪨💥)

And I will continue to dislike/against any shipping Damian's sibling to Nika. I simply don't like the unnecessary sibling conflict just for romance tropes! So go away boooo I hate you‼️ Not to mention the ignoring of different age range multi-ship hide behind poly… that's straight up proshipping I hate you even more!!👎

Also for people who said Nika should be crush on Damian's mother instead of him… I hate you twisted proshipper rotten smooth brain‼️‼️ She dating a boy her age and has mutual connections with him, why would she crush on her boyfriend's mother instead?? Just because Nika is a big fan of Talia??? So you telling me young ppl can't idolize adults normally without being labeled as romantic nowadays huh??( Not saying you can't crush on adults, but why crush on your boyfriend's mom? ) Your weird ass mind is showing with this ass hc be fr. Again, why would you imagine that? You just wanted to push a fake narrative of Nika being wired so you could have an excuse to make Talia and Damian dislike her (which is not true), but in fact is YOU are the weird one projecting your twist thoughts/hate onto Nika‼️💥🪨🪨

I will start to block ppl who are shipping/liking respawn x flatline (+proshipper) and STILL interact with me, read the room!! My art is not for you weirdos‼️Go away BOOOO💥 🪨🪨🪨💥💥

Can't believe I need to type this all out cuz some of you weirdos will still do these things and think is okay to interact with me and my post/showing in my notifications BOOO👎🪨🪨💥🪳🪳🪳🩴🩴🩴

(sorry for venting about random weirdos/Nika haters again, and thanks for reading.)

MAAAARIIIIII

I need your help.

Ok so, How to write?

I told you that I write, right? Well actually I didn't write them properly. I wrote them in screenplay format.. Now I want to write them properly but I don't know how 😭😭 my mind is blank.. Even when I manage to think up on how to write, it's so shit.. I have so many ideas but I have no clue on how the heck am I supposes to put them out.. Do you have any advice? How do you usually write? Please help.

*casually implodes* alright. Okay. Excellent.

This just might be the best ask I’ve ever received. I’ve always wanted to teach others how to write, I’m really passionate about writing stuff, and I’m majoring in education in university rn, so I sure hope I can answer this well lmao

But, nevertheless, I finally have the opportunity:

✨ Mari’s Writing Crash Course that I may or may not have composed while tipsy: a short guide to novel formatting ✨

There’s only, truly, three factors that are the most noticeably important: Formatting, Dialogue and Writing Voice.

You said you’ve been writing in screenplay format? Immaculate. You’re already halfway there. If you know how to write ANYTHING (short stories, novels, screenplays) you already- hopefully- understand the basis of composing stories. Character arcs, plot lines, worldbuilding, etc. I’m not getting into ANY of that, bc your ask referred to formatting and formatting only. I gotcha luv.

The Step One: The Key to Novel Formatting

You’ve already written in screenplay format before. That’s great. You’re already, like, more than halfway there. I’ve tried screenplaying before, but I never got that far in. Not my best medium.

I’m assuming what you’ve worked on before looks like this (format wise, not content wise lmao)

Caps lock indication, space down, and dialogue.

Well here’s the neat thing: novel writing, while very different from screenplays, is much closer to screenplays with more detail:

Caps lock indication, italicized setup, space down, and dialogue.

OTHER THAN describing the camera angles, this has very similar content to a novel: describing portions (sometimes equal portions, usually not) of both dialogue and descriptions.

So! Remove the caps lock indication on who’s speaking, make that italicized setup into the flow of a paragraph, remove all the stuff on camera angles, and put that dialogue under quotation marks.

Now it looks like this:

OH WOW! IT LOOKS LIKE A NOVEL NOW!!

Don’t overthink it: you just take your same thoughts from your screenplay format, and then… transfer it. Piece of cake 🍰

The sub-category of Part One; Part One Extended I guess: Present or Past Tense

What tense do you want your novel to be written in? Present tense? Past tense?

I used to say, “ ALL books are written in past tense. Because as the reader, we’re looking into a story that has already been written. If a book is in present tense, that means the story is unfolding, that means the author is writing it while we’re reading it, and that’s impossible since we’re holding the copy of the book in our hands. NO books should be written in present tense 😡👎”

And then I opened up The Hunger Games and saw it was in present tense.

So it looks like I’m just wildly wrong about that.

I will say tho, most books are written in past tense. And that might, or might not, be more comfortable for the reader and writer. However, it is up you. Contrary to my former opinion, there is no right or wrong tense for your book to be in.

Here is a visual guide:

Once you pick one, though, stick with it. Jumping between past and present these, UNLESS it’s for any stylistic choice (character’s flashbacks, time travelling, etc.) will most likely be awkward to read.

The Step Two: The Importance of properly formatting dialogue

Quotation marks go THROUGHOUT a sentence.

“Why don’t you guys go look at my taco salad post” and “she said” is all ONE BIG SENTENCE.

“Why don’t you guys go look at my taco salad post.” She said. ❌

“Why don’t you guys go look at my taco salad post,” she said. ✅

Each dialogue before the end of the sentence completes with a comma instead of a period. Exclamation marks and question marks can be used in whatever dialogue format, since they’re tone indicators. There aren’t strict rules for tone indicators.

Commas and periods aren’t really tone indicators, so there’s a quick key on how to write that stuff:

Remember, if dialogue ends with a “she said” “she exclaimed” “she spoke” etc. etc. etc. it’ll be part of the same sentence. But, if dialogue ends with an action “she walked to the door” “she took a forkful of that taco salad” etc. etc. etc. it’ll be an entirely new sentence.

THIS is what it looks like:

Also, not every set of dialogue needs to have an end quote to it. This is what that looks like:

I mean, you could but brackets in dialogue. But I just want to warn you: I read a book like that, can’t recall the author’s name, and it distracted me greatly from the characters, plot, atmosphere, etc. I’d stay away from that.

The Step Three: The Writing Voice

So what is narrative voice, anyways?

This is essentially how you form your entire story. The tone, emotion, and descriptions of your story.

I know, I know, the idea that every single word you use reveals your writing style might sound daunting, but trust me, writing voice comes naturally. As long as you let it come naturally.

Essentially: people who know you really well, your closest friends and family, who recognize your quirks, your colloquialisms, and your speech patterns, will most likely recognize your writing style. Because it will sound like you.

And that’s all writing voice is. Your own style. Even this answer I typed out for your ask, it’s in my writing style. It’s in my voice. It’s a blend of eloquent words, long sentences, and a dash of humour here and there. My novel, albeit sounding obviously much different than me making a post on tumblr, also sounds like this. To an extent.

You write like how you speak, even if you’re writing from a specific character’s perspective.

An example is Rick Riordan’s writing sounds wildly different from Becky Chamber’s writing. Even though they’re both talented and hard working, excellent writers. Every book looks different Every book sounds different. Every book feels different.

So, how do you find your own writing style?

Of course, a published novel of yours will sound different than your personal diary. But, those differences aside, they both have your voice. So let yourself speak, let yourself write.

Your story is going directly from your brain, to your laptop screen, or pen and paper, or whatever. Let yourself get into it. Sometimes I read what I’m writing out loud. Sometimes I don’t. Do not overthink your writing voice, or try to force your novel to sound more formal, or more casual, or more poetic, or more or less descriptive, or more wordy. Just let it be.

The more you write, and the more drafts you create, you’ll find your writing voice without even needing to search around for it.

There is a website called, I Write Like This. You can copy and paste passages of your writing, a few hundred words at a time if you want, and it’ll analyze your flow of descriptions, dialogue, punctuation, and match it up with whatever famous author your voice sounds similar to.

I copy and pasted my entire second chapter, a few thousand words, and this is my badge:

My writing voice is similar to our beloved @neil-gaiman . Of course, our writing voice is not identical, as no two authors ever are, but the flow of the writing, the mood, the tone, the energy… it’s a little bit on the same page.

The bonus step four: write shit 💩

You said you write shit?

Good.

Write shit.

This is odd advice to give, I know. But when I say write shit, I mean as a start.

If you had sent an ask saying, “I’ve NEVER touched a pen, paper, or laptop in my life, I don’t know how to write!!” I’d be… daunted. Not an impossible task, but a daunting one. Just slightly harder to get into, slightly harder to give advice for.

I’d much rather you write like shit than not write at all. The hierarchy goes like this:

Good writing >>> shit writing >>> not writing at all.

I can’t remember where I heard this from, but to quote, “you can edit a poorly written page, but you can’t edit a blank page”.

So go, my lovely Sana. Be free. Write all the shit in the world. Fill up your pages. Get writers cramp. Get writers block. Recover from writers block. Make typos. Make messes. Write glorious, delicious, silly, stupid, and beautiful things. Your first draft is not supposed to be perfect. The time will come for pristine, polished, ready-to-be-published writing, and you do not need to rush into there. At all.

Write shit 💩 New-writing is the most necessary shit in this world.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Was good to meet you today. Here is my number. I hope you’re doing ok? Estera

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hi Estera, sorry I didn't get back to you immediately. I wasn't well, but I'm doing better now. I'm glad we met. Maybe we could catch up again sometime in the future. Look after yourself, S

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hi Scott, thanks for your message, I was glad to hear from you, but sad to hear you’ve been unwell. I’m sorry if I have made things more difficult for you. It would be nice to keep in touch if it was helpful to you. Estera

Please don’t be sorry, Estera. It’s not your fault at all.

Are you doing ok?

Yes I’m fine thank you.

Ok. Well, if you ever need anything or you want to talk, I’m here. S

That’s kind, thank you Scott

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

“Your anger is distracting you, Estera.”

She lay panting on her back where she’d fallen, and pressed her knuckles into the coolness of the mat desperately trying to keep her mind in the present. She was at the leisure centre, the distant ceiling had huge silver ventilation tubes snaking across it. The rhythmic squeak-wheeze of the trampolines at the other end of the hall contrasted the irregular thump of shoulder and slap of hand on tatami mats close by. She could smell sweat and chalk. She could taste… blood. Aaah no, she’d bitten the inside of her cheek again and now that was going to irritate her for days.

Her teacher dropped to one knee and offered a hand. Estera pretended she hadn’t noticed and pushed herself to her feet unaided. She didn’t need anyone being kind to her right now. It might unlock a floodgate she’d be unable to force closed again.

“You ok?”

“Yes. Again.”

“I’m think perhaps it’s best if we call it a day there”

“Again. Please, I want to master this.”

The teacher cocked an eyebrow, but nodded. Estera bowed and made herself ready. Physically ready anyway. Hopefully muscle memory would compensate for today’s lack of mental discipline

She lasted longer this time, but the inevitable bone rattling thud as she hit the floor came all too soon. She forced herself upright and back into the ready position but a third voice intervened.

“Enough.”

She turned and bowed alongside her teacher as the master approached, disappointment making her shoulders heavy as she stood up straight. The coral-belted septuagenarian didn’t visit often, but on previous occasions the little girl in Estera had been thrilled to receive a nod of approval from the awe inspiring woman. Today she’d just let herself down. Not good enough.

“You need to sleep and recover your wits.”

Estera barely managed to contain the burst of bitter laughter. Chance would be a fine thing. She knew she was running on fumes and fury and the fumes were dissipating fast.

Dropping her eyes to avoid having to see the evident concern, she bowed to the master and then her teacher and tried to keep her head held high as she walked away, knowing full well the other students had stopped to watch her leave. She threw her coat over her gi and strode confidently through reception to the front entrance trying to ignore the bleeding man pleading with her from the periphery of her vision. She pulled up her hood so he couldn’t see her.

But she could still hear him. And found she could no longer disobey.

And so she ran.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hi, just wondered how you were getting on? How are Alex and co? S

Hi Scott, the kids are doing really well. They were delighted with the cards, that was a lovely touch. A couple struggled a little with nightmares to start with but seem to be getting better. Most bounced back unscathed. Thank you for asking. Estera

Very glad to hear that. Kids can be surprisingly resilient!

How about you?

Oh yes, I’m fine!

You know that’s usually my line?

I remember!

Ha. Yeah, not my finest moment.

Are you sure? Have you got people around if you need to talk about anything?

Yes, don’t worry :)

Ok. Take care, yeah?

I will! You too.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Estera pressed send and reached out to steady herself as her head spun. She missed, grasped thin air and staggered sideways into the shelves of stationery, cringing as a monsoon of crayons, pencil sharpeners and boxes of junk modelling materials clattered to the floor. Well wasn’t that just what she deserved for hiding in a cupboard and sneaking a look at her messages during the school day? Why had she done that? So unprofessional.

The buzz of chatter outside stopped abruptly and Astra poked a curious head round the cupboard door

“Are you ok, Miss?

“Oh yes, of course - I just knocked a box with my elbow and that knocked into another box which knocked another one… and whoops! Never mind I’ll clear it up.”

“Can we help?”

“Thank you that’s a good idea. Little disasters are often easier to fix if you have help aren’t they?”

“Teamwork makes the dream work Miss!”

Estera nudged the door fully open and pushed the piles of craft devastation out into the classroom and several children leapt into action to return everything to its correct box. She leant heavily on the door frame and looked up to see the narrowed eyes of her classroom assistant. He was apparently not fooled and raised an eyebrow before inclining his head towards the classroom door. She smiled gratefully and accepted the offer of an opportunity to take a brief break, making it to the corridor before the tears fell. Dizzy again, she slumped against the wall just as the headteacher walked around the corner.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hey, you doing ok? S

Hi Scott, yes all good here. How are you getting on?

I’m good, thanks. Pretty late night for you?

Oh! Yes I guess it is. I couldn’t sleep so watched a film but I’d better get myself to bed - busy day tomorrow!

Ok sleep well, take care

And you.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Sitting rigidly on the park bench outside the GP surgery, Estera frowned at the contents of the paper bag she had clutched in her hand. Sleeping pills and a generic SSRI to take while she crept up the waiting list for some kind of talking therapy. Signed off for 3 weeks. Fine. Predictable.

Fine.

Not as if she hadn’t known what the outcome would be. But her boss had been very firm about her booking the appointment. She’d hoped to fob off the friendly but ever so young-looking doctor with it just being nightmares about the cave in but of course her medical records were right there and Dr Honestly-How-Was-She-Old-Enough-To-Have-a-Degree skipped straight to the point and made a referral for suspected PTSD recurrence. It was likely to be 12 weeks wait to see anyone though. So in the meantime Estera’s job was to not die from sleep deprivation.

Or guilt.

She sighed, not sure she could she even bring herself to take these. She knew the human body needed to sleep but the terror of being trapped in a drugged stupor where the nightmares could torment her without even the safety net of startling herself awake… her hand shook. Then her pocket buzzed.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I finally ordered some running shoes from that shop you recommended and you aren’t wrong - it IS like running on a cloud! 🥰 S

Hi Scott, glad to hear it! Mine have lasted ages as well. Good value.

I’ll probably destroy them in weeks. I have… form.

Ha, I can imagine.

How are you doing Estera? Isn’t it school time for you? Hope I’m not distracting you from my little buddies?

Ah no, I have the day off today.

Oh?

I’d better get on with doing something constructive with it. Bez probably has some ideas! Nice to hear from you, enjoy the shoes!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hey, how’s tricks? S

Hi, I saw you on the news - it’s brilliant what TI is doing for those schools! Estera

Hey :) Ah, can’t take much credit, this is Alan and John’s pet project.

Well you explained it very well on camera.

I’m glad you think so, I thought I was unbearably awkward!!

It didn’t show.

Thanks.

How are things with you?

Good!

Keeping busy!

How about you?

Much better thanks to you

I mean ‘much better, thank you!’

Sorry, autocorrect thinks it’s clever.

Still get some off-days, you know how it is, but I’m back in the air and doing my job again which is good.

That’s really good to hear, I’m glad for you. And for all the people needing rescuing too!

Speaking of which… I have to go. Look after yourself, alright?

Will do.

Be careful!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Later that evening Scott nursed a long-cold cup of coffee while flicking back and forth through the last month of messages with Estera. There hadn’t been many, just little exchanges every so often when he tried to check in on her. Something felt… off. She was dodging the question every time. Her over-cheery assurances felt uncomfortably familiar.

What if she wasn’t fine?

Patricia had warned him he needed to be careful not to let himself feel responsible for Estera’s welfare, that his lingering sense of failure from before would mean it was easy to overcompensate now, a decade later.

But… how could he not? He pondered her apparent faint in the cave, the more he thought about it the more convinced he was that she too experienced the kind of flashbacks she’d so calmly helped him through. He knew he’d never have made it through without the support of his family, even when he’d spent all his energy trying to push them away and deal with things alone, they’d always caught him as he fell. Scott suspected she was pretty much alone. What if she didn’t have anyone to catch her?

But why would she talk to him? He was little more than a stranger to her even if he felt as if she’d been alongside him for years. Even though he’d felt as if she was the first person ever to really understand there was no guarantee she thought the same. Perhaps he’d been too pushy with all the messages? Was he somehow smother-henning someone from the opposite side of the planet? He paced anxiously.

A reminder popped up in his TI email account. Oh joy, two days of meetings in London next week. He stifled a groan then paused. Maybe he could make the trip more worthwhile? Asking wouldn’t hurt. And if she wasn’t keen then at least he’d know he’d tried his best and could leave it at that.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hey, I’m up your way for a meeting next week. Maybe we could catch up? S

[theguildawards]

We’re All Fired Up!!

Hey everyone!

The Guild Awards are back for the first bi-annual term of 2023! We hope everyone had a wonderful start to the year! Thank you to those who participated last term for making it so enjoyable. We look forward to all the new fanfiction and fanart to be nominated for this term. 

Shout out to @pencilofawesomeness​ for creating last term’s banners! If you haven’t received yours, please reach out to one of the mods asap!

Some changes that are taking place that may effect you as nominators. We have decided to take out both NSFW categories, as there hasn’t been much participation in those categories the last couple of terms. So at this time, we are not going to be accepting any explicit NSFW artwork; however, NSFW fanfiction is still allowed to be nominated in other appropriate categories as long as it has been tagged appropriately. 

Our roulette category for this term is Best Antagonist Portrayal. This is defined as:  Stories that have a developed antagonist with motive and ambition. This does not necessarily mean a “villain” of the story, but any one person who causes conflict for the story. A large part of the story must surround this antagonist and the “heroes” overcoming the conflict. Keep in mind that characterization must also be considered depending on who the antagonist is. *Nomination must include the name of the character*

As a reminder, there is a Winner Ban in place.   This means that once any piece of artwork or fanfiction has won an award for a category, it automatically becomes ineligible and cannot be nominated again for that category. However, it can be nominated for other categories after three consecutive terms have passed (ie: one year since that piece won) as long as it fits within that definition. We do not have a rule against nominating an author/artist back into the category they won for in the past, as long as its a different piece of work that is being nominated.

In addition, we are also going to have a mobile-friendly Google Doc with all current nominations listed. This will be updated as frequently as possible so you can be aware of all the nominations that have currently been reviewed and notified. Hopefully this will help everyone select their own nominations. You can access this doc here.

If it was not mentioned above, chances are it hasn’t changed. Please be aware that the moderators always take suggestions regarding how the awards are run and category changes into consideration. You can read up on the most recent FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories for more information. [these links are only available on desktop]

The First Term 2023 Nomination Period will begin March 1st and will end March 31st. Please send in your nominations through the submit button. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to send in an ask or reach out to one of the mods!

Don’t forget we also have a discord that is open to everyone!

Mods: @classysassy9791​, @kiliinstinct​, @phoenix-before-the-flame​, @ratretro​, @phoneboxfairy​

Please reblog and spread the word of the start of the new term!

[Below the cut is the mobile-friendly FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories!]

Frequently Asked Questions

What are The Guild Awards?

The Guild Awards is a place where amazing fanart and fanfiction in the Fairy Tail fandom is recognized, admired, and offered the chance to be nominated for an award! In addition, it also gives lesser known authors and artists an opportunity to have their work shared to a broader extent and receive the admiration and recognition they deserve!

How do I nominate?

You can send in a submission in one of our nomination formats. Your submission will not be posted and therefore remain anonymous, only to be seen by the moderators. You can send in multiple nominations in one submission, as long as the nomination formats are used for each nomination. Please select your fiction nominations carefully; spelling and grammar are important parts of being an author. Anything deemed unacceptable by the moderator team will be disqualified. Once nominations are complete, the mods will post the list of accepted nominations so you can read and view them before voting.

Can I nominate my own art/fiction?

You cannot nominate yourself. Doing so will result in the nomination not being accepted and a warning from the award moderators.

How long do I have to nominate?

You will have one month to send in your nominations. At the start of each period, the dates will be announced for when you can send in nominations.

Can I nominate anonymously?

No. This is due to the fact that no one is allowed to nominate their own work. Also, if a nomination is disqualified, the moderators will be reaching out to the person who nominated to allow them another opportunity to nominate.

How many fanfics/fanarts can I nominate?

Only one fiction or artwork can be chosen for each category per person. Meaning, a story or artwork can only be nominated by one person per category. Therefore, any secondary nominations will be disregarded and the duplicate nominator will be allowed to submit another story or artwork in its place.

What fanfiction/fanart is eligible to be nominated?

Please see Rules of Eligibility.

What is the nominating format for fanfics? For fanart?

Nominating format for fanfiction:

Can I nominate a fanart/fanfic that includes Original Characters or Crossover Characters?

Yes. For fanfics, 80% of the story needs to be focused on Fairy Tail characters and the development of the story. OC’s can be in a story, but the main focus needs to be on the Fairy Tail characters. Artwork can contain Non-FT characters where specified, but NO art may contain only OC’s or Non-FT characters (i.e. Artwork of “OC children” or “new wizard in the guild") are unacceptable without other genuine FT characters present in the piece)

I don’t want my fanart/fanfic nominated. Can I opt out? How?

Once a nomination has been approved by the moderators, the author/artist will be made aware of the nomination. Every author/artist retains the right to have their work removed from the nomination list and can opt out of future nominations.

How many terms are there?

There are two terms each year.

How long is each term?

Each term will be approximately 6 weeks long.

How long is the voting period?

The voting period will be 2 weeks long.

When are the winners announced?

At the end of each term.

What happens if my fanfic/fanart wins? Do I need to do anything?

Please send this blog or one of the mods your preferred email address so we can send your award banner to you as soon as possible. Otherwise, kick back, relax, and enjoy the feeling of being recognized for your hard work!

I want to nominate an artist/author who has won in the past. Are they still eligible to be nominated?

There is a Winner Ban in place. Once any piece of artwork or fanfiction has won an award for a category, it automatically becomes ineligible and cannot be nominated again for that category. However, it can be nominated for other categories after three consecutive terms have passed (ie: one year since that piece won) as long as it fits within that definition. We currently do not have a rule against nominating an author/artist back into the category they won for in the past, as long as it is a different piece of work that is being nominated.

I have a question that’s not listed.

Please feel free to send in an ask or a direct message to one of the mods and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

Multi-chapter fics must have been updated within the past 2 years of the nomination period. Fanart must have been created within the past 2 years of the nomination period. One-shots and drabbles must have been posted within the past 2 yearsof the nomination term.

If the work was posted onto several different locations, the earliest date and time stamp will be taken and checked against the current nomination period of eligibility. Stamps posted within reviews can be used to date a work and/or its chapters. Also, authors and artists will be contacted to verify timeframes if needed.

Each author/artist is allowed to be nominated twice per term. Meaning, an author/artist can only have a max of two of their creations be nominated per term. So be sure to pick your favorites carefully!

The work must be in compliance with the definition of the category into which it was nominated.

Both adult and non-adult fanfiction and artwork are acceptable for nominations.

Because of the nature of child-grooming and other potentially abusive traits, nominations of work that include a ship that pairs an older person with anyone who is canonically underage will not be accepted.

Categories

- Best Overall Artwork

The quality, time, thought, and emotion that went into this piece is what would make it worthy of this nomination. Please take note: The general idea is not the “best of what’s nominated” or “best of show.” It is a category created specifically for art appreciation. That means that even if the characters are OOC, AU, or not drawn in anime style, etc., the ART itself is worthy of praise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Updated as needed

What is this project?

DAI Transcripts is my endeavor to document and format all of the dialogue in Dragon Age: Inquisition (I hope that's obvious, otherwise I might be doing a pretty bad job). This has been an ongoing project since 2019, with over 250k transcribed words as of January 2024. I started this project as a spiritual successor to the discontinued @dragonagetranscripts ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Why are you doing this?

Because god has punished me for my hubris and my work is never done. 

jk it’s actually because I was sick of watching bad let’s plays while trying to work on my longfic so I took matters into my own hands.  ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Who are you anyway?

I'm Plisuu in disguise :) I am a high school teacher, artist, and writer. You can find me on all social media under the same name, though I'm only really active on tumblr these days. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Are you alive? Are you still working on this?

Yes. Mostly. I am in the midst of a crisis at all times, so I try to work on this when I can! That mainly means I appear, spam most of a main questline, and then vanish again for a few months. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Will you do -insert quest-?

Short answer: Hopefully, yes!

Long Answer: While I would love to be able to do every quest in the game, it depends on how much energy I have. I intend on working through the game from start to finish, first main quests, then secondary/companion quests, and then romances. Location and side-quest dialogue are on the list as well.

If you want to see something specific, just drop me an ask! I don't mind it at all, and sometimes it's a refreshing little break to work on something aside from the main quests. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Please take my money! How can I support you?

I have a Ko-fi, but honestly, the kind messages and tags I get on my posts are more than enough! The best way to support me is by sharing this resource :)

Feel free to share your fics with me as well, I love seeing how different folks use the dialogue given to us and spin such unique and varied stories. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

You typo'd/did a thing wrong/you’re missing race/class specific dialogue!

Please let me know in an ask - I hope to have a very accurate account of all the dialogue, so don’t be afraid to let me know if I’m missing something.

Most of my transcripts are pulled from the game files themselves as well as a variety of youtube videos and a mix of my own playthroughs, but I do occasionally miss things or can't figure out exactly how a piece of dialogue fits.

Remember, my ask box and messages are always open ♡

#figured i'd finally get around to updating this lol #faq #long post

Hello!!!!

So sorry about my absence. The life of an adult is always a wild one, so I haven’t had much time to indulge in writing.

I’m back with a little something for you! I wasn’t able to form it into a full story, but hopefully it quenches your Timmy thirst a little. Enjoy! 💖

Over You

Timothée Chalamet x Reader

timmy confesses his feelings to his journal after he is rejected by the reader. angst.

*obligatory mobile formatting apology*

———————————————————————

I don’t see you as anything more than a friend. You’re like family to me.

It’d been almost 6 months since she uttered those words to me. She was so sweet about it, letting me down gently and ignoring the way my face fell. We moved on like nothing happened. We continued being friends, hanging out, spending hours texting. Nothing changed and that’s the most awful thing I’m grateful for.

My feelings for her came slowly, but my realization of them hit me hard. I felt like one of those men you see on cartoons, getting crushed by the weight of a piano coming from god-knows-where in the sky. I woke up one day, an average day with nothing special around the edges, and knew I loved her.

I wrestled with the idea for months. Surely I was just hurt. I had gone through breakups, I had spent so much time alone—clearly this was just my way of seeking something stable. I wanted to be with the only one that truly cared for me and had my back. I couldn’t shake it, though. For some reason I had fallen hard, without my own permission, and it was eating away at my flesh.

I rationalized the idea for weeks on end. There’s no way she doesn’t love me back, I had thought. The things she does with me aren’t just friend things. I thought about all the things she’d ever said to me. The way she would compliment me, or reassure me, or hold me when I’m low. She loved me and there was no doubt about it. This is what I had been waiting for my whole life.

I got obsessive. Every man that spoke to her, every woman that wanted to be her friend, everyone that appreciated her that wasn’t me lit a flame of jealousy that would roar to life and turn into a forest fire. I was constantly snooping. Asking questions without asking them directly, hoping she’d give me details. Wishing she would just tell me that they didn’t matter, all she needed was me.

After the turmoil, the nervousness, the stuttering (I never stutter), I finally decided it was time to tell her. I had written so many letters to her that no one would ever read. I needed to let her know, I needed her to tell me that she wanted me too. I needed her to let me know that she and I had been unhappy for so long because we were overlooking each other.

So I told her. I texted her with shaky fingers and got so nervous I turned my phone off. I was sweating. I felt like I would hurl. I paced around my room for a while before turning my phone back on, and there it was: a notification from her.

That certainly came out of left field.

My heart dropped. She didn’t agree with me. She didn’t tell me that she’d been waiting on me to come to the realization. She told me exactly what I didn’t want to hear.

Is there any chance that you might like me in the future?

No, sorry.

And that was that. I began trying to get over her. I threw myself into the arms of another, and another, and another. I got a few new jobs. I busied myself with other friends. I started spending more time alone, comforting myself because no one else would do it for me.

I finally got over her.

Six months later, here I am. Lying in my room, high as a kite, staring at the ceiling, music booming from my stereo system so loudly I can’t hear the lyrics anymore. It’s dark, it’s raining outside, and my mind is on her. My heart still thumps every time I get a text from her. My chest still aches when she tells me she’s interested in some other guy that’s better than me.

This is what being over her feels like. It’s wanting to kiss her but knowing I can’t. It’s almost reaching for her hand but stopping myself. It’s her being gone with friends, but I’m wishing she’d be on the phone with me instead, ignoring whoever else is there. Being over her is not an act of no longer feeling. It’s not closing my heart off so she can never bother it again. It’s not avoiding looking at her so I don’t have to see those shining eyes again. It’s loving her just as much as I did on day one, but letting her be who she wants with whoever she chooses.

If this is true love, which I wholeheartedly believe it is because I have never felt such a thing as strong, I have to let her be happy. And if she is unhappy with me, that’s not what she deserves. So I will sit back, aching heart and all, and smile. Next to her, miles away from her, after her first date with a coworker, on her wedding day to another, during the birth of her child with a man that isn’t me. Because I would rather sacrifice myself and face this pain for the rest of my life, as long as she has the world, because that I cannot give her.

Although, perhaps if she comes to me… tomorrow, next month, next year, in a decade, or two, or three—if she comes to me and has decided that the world is in fact not what she wants, but she wants my world instead.

Well, who am I to refuse her?

Ah hey look! It’s the Bruiser brothers themselves, Rick and Nick!

And, we just so happen to have an origin story for them! Just what are these two hiding from us anyway?

Read below to find out!

((Keep in mind that this is sort of a weird one, but hopefully you’ll get used to it 😭. Also CW for body horror imagery)) -Dex

Ok so, you know that we basically don’t know how old nor where the Bruiser brothers are from right? Why is this such a mystery? It’s been bothering me for years now...

Well I have a proposition... now here me out.... they were created in a lab.

So there were these group of scientist that decided to come together to create the perfect fighter. Through some agreements, they collected DNA samples from all kinds of boxers that were considered the best of the best: the most lean, tall, strong etc.

It took some years to figure out, but they managed to make their first prototype: Rick Bruiser.

The scientist first helped out Rick by teaching him with basic life skills (you know, like talking, eating etc). When he mastered them, they immediately put the gloves on him to start training. The results and analytics were showing up with “alright” scores, but not what the group was looking for. Also not to mention, Rick started to develop his own charming personality, which the scientist were pleased and quite proud of as it makes him more human like, but they also thought that this was hindering his fighting style (for some reason).

So by taking Rick’s DNA and changing up some formations, they made a second version of Rick, and by technicality his brother, Rick Brusier.

Nick was more emotionally detached than Rick, which was done on purpose. As they went through the same learning process with Nick, they tested out his fighting expertise. The testers were much more pleased with Nick’s outcome and decided to focus their testing and work on him, leaving Rick in the dust almost. He sort of grew jealous due to this, but still wanted to at least work out a brotherly bond with his new kin.

As time passed, they applied Nick to all kinds of boxing matches. From left to right, he about won just about every match he was in. It was almost non-stop fighting and match-ups. Due to this however, Nick started to feel a bit... off. But he never reported it nor brought it up because he really didn’t want to mess up his streak.

Then the time came for Nick to work his way up in the W.V.B.A. to get that champion belt. Nick’s first opponent was obviously the glass jaw himself: Glass Joe.

The poor Frenchman thought that this was just another match where he gets horribly beat up by yet another big and burly boxer. So the match starts with a ding, and goes off smoothly at first. Nick is quite the excellent fighter and Joe knows this. But something was about to happen that would shock everyone and the world of boxing in general.

Lots of dodging and punching, the first being done by Nick and Joe unfortunately getting the latter. “Whatever.” He thought to himself. “Let’s get this over with.”.

Keep in mind that this is around the time when Joe was starting to get one of the worse records in W.V.B.A history, so he was a laughing stock to the crowd. And to be honest, most people buy tickets to Glass Joe’s fights now just to see his face get beat in. It’s basically like a sick comedy to them.

But with this in mind, Maybe he can perhaps get at least one punch in? This could not only catch the audience off guard, but also he can at least get some kind of good press for this effort. It’ll at least be a good coffee read in the morning, so why not?

So with a lot of focus and managing to get a split second opening, Joe did the best punch he could.

A big old “POW” if you will.

This catches Nick off guard as well as the crowd. After a few moments of silent the crowd starts to cheer. Joe starts to feel a kick of euphoria in his body after what just happened. He felt like could do it again!

Nick however, after the punch, starts to get that same off feeling from before, but it was more noticeable. His arm... also felt weird. But he brushed it off and continues to fight.

More back and forth arm swinging happens and Joe gets yet another punch in as Nick blocks it. Yet another “POW” could be heard from the impact. The crowd starts to get louder with cheers and jeers going everywhere. But after a few seconds, something oh so horrible happens that will stay in the minds of whoever was attending that faithful night.

Nick’s arm starts to fall apart.

Gasps and screams started to erupt from the stadium. Joe quickly back off after realizing what in the world was happening. He couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him. All he could do his cover his mouth and stare in shock at the absolute horror show he was witnessing.

Nick didn’t even know what to do. What the hell was happening to him? Why didn’t those damn blockheads tell him about this?

The rotting started to get worse as his whole arm was basically gone. It started to now slowly go up his neck and that’s when Nick basically “passed” out. The doctors and ref started rush over Nick Bruiser to try and get him to a hospital. The crowd was trying to get up close to the ring to see the freak accident they just witnessed.

But by default, Joe won the match. His first win. This should be an exciting moment for him, but he’s too distracted and also felt such a painful guilt in his stomach. He probably thought he killed the man. Nobody would survive such a horrible incident like that! He felt like he was about to puke...

This was a dark chapter in the W.V.B.A history books.

This incident was in the year 1985

Weeks have passed since the incident, and Nick wakes up in a bed with a brand new arm attached to his arm. Stitched up of course. Unfortunately, this meant that he also remembered what happened to him that night. Nick didn’t know if he should be grateful that he’s still here, or if he should be mad now that his perfect record is down the drain. “What an embarrassing way to go out” he said in his head. This is what he’s going to be remembered by. The one guy that had his damn arm fall apart.

Great.

However, Rick was so happy that his brother was alive! He watched the match from the tv back in the lab, and was absolutely terrified with what happened. Poor Rick really thought Nick was dead, but who could blame him? He waited oh so patiently for the progress on Nick’s rebuilding.

Nick couldn’t help but feel a bit touched by this. He never felt this way before.

One of the scientist then explained to the still confused Nick that apparently his body was starting to weaken with all the excessive fighting they put him through and that it went completely off their radar. So during the last fight with Glass Joe, his body completely gave up on him. Literally. But after a few alterations to his body along side stitching up his new arm, something like this should never happen again. Hopefully.

Well that explains a lot.

They all decided that they should stay off of boxing for awhile just in case something like this ever happens again. So both Rick and Nick just simply hung around the lab for awhile and used the opportunity to do some catching up.

During this they mainly were assistants for the workers in the lab and did various activities as well.

Time passes by and by unanimous decision, the lab decides to let Rick and Nick Bruiser go to the outside world for themselves. With all the knowledge they learned, they thought that they’re perfectly ready to have their own social lives.

The lab provided them with everything they need. Fake birth certificates, new IDs, social security, lots of money, clothes, and a little apartment they can start off with. The lab will of course will keep them in close contact just in case something haywire happens.

Finally, the brothers can be a part of society.

They started to get use to the average living life. They lived together in the apartment that they were provided with and made do with it. Rick wanted to do more stuff unlike Nick, who was more introverted. But hey siblings will be siblings am I right? Nick was still self conscious about going out because someone might recognize him as that one boxer that... yeah... so even when he does go out, he’s covering his face up with a hoodie.

The year is 1990 and the W.V.B.A. is taking in new and fresh boxers for their second branch that they just established.

Rick saw an advertisement for this and jumped at the opportunity to join. For all of his (short) life, Rick wanted to fight in the ring. But because he was seen as a simple prototype and how Nick got WAY more of the attention, he felt ignored. So this was finally the opportunity for him to possibly join the association. Rick doesn’t care if he doesn’t end up being that great, he just wants to fight his heart out.

Nick took notice of this. At first he thought “Yeah, right. Like I’m going back there.”. But when he really started to contemplate, this could be possible redemption. No longer does he have to hide in the shadows of his past, he can show the country— no, the world that he’s not the same anymore.

That was the old Nick. He’s the new Nick now.

When he told his brother that he’ll join and possibly even try for the belt, pure ecstasy bursted out of Rick. Finally, he and his brother can take on the world and have it in their hands together.

After all, they are The Bruiser Brothers.

Hey I'm the sasusaku fan reading Kaika Sasei. Thank you for the answer I'm looking forward. By the way, can you link here the written version? You have so many chapters written and I wanna know more before reading the manga.

I was hoping you could pick up fan's ideas, wish you could check out inosakutema they're a great trio though. I see that you plan to stay true to Kishimoto and I can pick up on the Temari situation with Sakura in Suna. (Hope it's the clinic!!).

Speaking of the clinic I can't wait to see your version of it. Boruto leaves me wanting for some more head of medical department Sakura. It's so simplified and boring, she's your average healer only when plot needs her and it's so boring only the same jutsu. It's like she ain't the world's strongest kunoichi and its best medical ninja.

I might be a loyal sasusaku but I'm not too hostile on Karin, I think she's really useful as a sensor and her sensory is the best in the world, I don't get how people downplay them. Hopefully you can find a spot for her in Konoha as their leader of Barrier.

I was sad when you didn't give any details about Hanabi. Neji was my favorite character and the only escape to his absence I could find is Hanabi, she's the best in Boruto all things considered (the story is trash). If you follow Kishimoto writing then I can rest assured she will lead her clan like I've been waiting for them to show already.

Hi there! Welcome back! 🤗

So, I have multiple formats for the written version.

I have it pretty much everywhere: my blog in storybook format on chatte-georgiana.com

This post here has a table of contents with all of them: https://chatte-georgiana.com/2020/10/25/kaika-saisei-naruto-au-after-the-war-sakura-haruno-centric/

Then, if you want, depending on what you’re most used to I have it on:

FFnet: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13771214/1/Kaika-Saisei (this one for some reason ruined some of the formatting and no matter what I try it won’t save the modificatiosn)

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28149138/chapters/68971716

Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/1063652674-kaika-saisei-chapter-1-every-end-is-a-new

So, depending on what you like most, pick your favorite. 😁

Now to the next part of your question, regarding fan ideas and whatnot… to be honest I try to stay as far away as possible from that because at the end of the day this is the vision I have over her development & I’m writing it based on old theories I had regarding her. Which ironically came true partially and didn’t come true at the same time. It’s like Schroedinger’s cat situation lol.

From what you’re telling me there’s plenty of that in the original series though? Like I said, I’m trying my best to stay as far away from it, although I will have a certain reference to it at some point in the story. But that’ll come when it’ll come and that’s all I’m going to say about it cuz I don’t want to spoil. 😁

Of course there might be certain similarities to original due to the fact that certain things have been discussed in the fandom prior to the ending, so what the publisher did was take those ideas and put them into the actual story, lol. It’s more than clear at this point they’re scanning the fandom for ideas. But anyway, moving in from that….

As for the writing, yeah, I’m trying to stay as close as possible to Kishimoto’s writing though. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Sakura/Temari thing I have in mind because in a way it’s not very far from what you’re telling me, it’s just that it’s maybe a different angle, let’s say.

As for the clinic, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it purely from the angle of Sakura being highly underutilized in OG material.

Like trust me, I tried giving Boruto a chance even if I was mad at the ending. I said ok, if the writing is good then I’ll give it a chance because at the end of the day, I can appreciate something good even if it’s not my preferred taste. But sadly, the way the franchise treats her it’s just lamentable, imo.

Medical ninjutsu used to be so much fun & intricate, but OG material just stuck to its ever used green aura type of thing and that’s it.

That’s precisely why in Kaika I did my best to try and give it the respect it deserves. Ofc, I might not do it 100% okay either, but at least I’ll try my best to go past the green glow. 🤷‍♀️

As for Karin, buckle up and think if this is going to be or not an impediment to you because as I said, this is going to be SK story in the end as well, not just NS. As I’ve said, I’m a big fan of the symbolism & mirroring Kishi did with them, so I’m planning on playing that out in Kaika as well.

I can understand how that might not be someone’s cup of tea, but I’ve always been real about what this story will be in terms of pairings.

As for her & Konoha sensory, well, I have let’s say other plans. At the moment Karin is very well focused on discovering more about her Uzumaki roots. And that’s all I will say for now. 👀

As for Hanabi, sorry, must’ve escaped my mind. In Kaika she’s currently the heiress of the Hyuga and as you’ll see from the written version, there’s some subplot involving her, a treasured Hyuga secret & the complications of being the heiress & having access to such a secret and trying to mend the relationship with her sister. But anyway, read the written version and you’ll see for yourself.

And as I said, in Kaika, Neji Hyuga will be brought back to the cast. 👀

As for the details of how that’ll happen, all I can say is just to follow the story. 👀🤭

Anyway, thanks once again for your interest in Kaika. Highly appreciated! 🙏 Hope you enjoy the written version! 😊

-- This is very different from the fics I usually write but I am reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I loved that format. 

Jake is ooc but what else is new, right? This has not been proofread and I am very tired so hopefully it still makes sense, also Y/N has a name in this one because it’s easier for me to write like that, sorry

I hope this doesn’t hinder your enjoyment of the fic though!

20th of December 2019,

Lieutenant, 

I have been matched up with you via one of those websites that allow you to send letters to soldiers. I hope you don’t mind that I am writing this to you, although I assume you don’t if you’re on these lists anyway. 

My name is Jane (26) and I am a teaching assistant in an elementary school.

It has been so long since I last wrote anyone a letter and I am very rusty, so I hope you don’t mind that this letter is very short. I promise that my next one will be longer.  

You will find enclosed in this letter a chocolate bar, it is my favourite. I thought it would be strange to send you something due to arrive for Christmas without including a treat, so there it is. I hope it hasn’t broken in transit, or that if it has, that you can still enjoy it.

As you can see from my address, I live in Texas. I live in Austin, right in the middle of town and about five minutes from the school I work at. Where are you from? 

Cordially, 

Jane 

PS. How did you get the call sign?

Jane,

Hello Jane (26). 

My name is Jake (33) and I am a naval pilot. 

I actually didn’t know I was on one of those lists, I guess a friend thought I might need the company. 

I have to thank you for your letter, it got here right in time for Christmas and I have to say it was a very nice surprise. I especially enjoyed the bar of chocolate you snuck in. I hope it didn’t weigh down the letter too much. 

I’m from Texas too! 

My family lives on the outskirts of Austin. They write sometimes too but not much, they prefer phone calls or video messages on the computer. My niece writes the most, she’s five and she’s starting to get the hang of making longer sentences. She tells me about her day and she sends me drawings sometimes too. Actually I think her class is doing one of those ‘write-to-a-soldier’ things too. 

What do you teach?

Cordially, 

Jake

PS. As for the call sign: I am a crummy speller. I miss spelled  (missspelled? Miss-spelled?) something in my flight academy essays one too many times, I guess… 

I was top of the class in everything except English, and I still make stupid mistakes sometimes. I truly hated that subject and my teacher was a horrible woman with big turtle shell glasses and huge scarves. She looked like Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter, I’m sure you know who that is.

She was a horrible woman and a very strict teacher. I enjoy never having to see her again..

Call signs are never nice but I guess there’s worse. This one is pretty cool if you don’t know the back story.

You mock me. 

I am glad the letter got to you for Christmas and you enjoyed the chocolate. It did weigh it down a little but hey, it’s Christmas!

Did you do much for the occasion or is it just an ordinary day? 

What’s flying like?

I haven’t been on planes much and even then it’s only been commercial. I assume that’s about as similar as American Football is to Rugby? 

I teach english. You’ll be delighted to know that I too wear big turtle shell glasses and huge scarves. And I have been told I bear a passing resemblance to Emma Thompson on a very good day. However, I am not at all a strict (or a teacher) so I shall not be offended by your description (maybe a little). 

How cute of your niece! 

My class is also doing this as a writing exercise, that’s how I got the idea, actually.

I am not from Texas. I moved here from London to be with my fiancé. When the engagement failed I had already gotten this job, so I didn’t move back. 

So far I like it, even if I understand almost nothing of what some people say and the temperatures are hotter than I care for. 

Sincerely, 

Jane

From Jake Seresin to Jane Falkworth

19th of January 2020

Jane, 

Christmas was okay. They didn’t do too much but we did get a special meal for Christmas eve (extra dry turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy and overcooked vegetables) and a present. I had hoped my gift would be a promotion but it was a pen instead, yipee. 

Flying is hard to describe. 

On the one hand it is terrifying and dangerous but it is quickly forgotten when I realise that I can almost touch the clouds. 

Flying is freedom. When I’m up in the air I get to feel what so many people have dreamt of feeling, and what two men in North Carolina wanted badly enough that they built a flying death trap in 1903. It is magical.

Also yes, it is very different from commercial flights in that commercial planes don’t usually get shot at and the planes are bigger. Outside of that, flying is flying, isn’t it?

Terribly sorry for my description of Mrs Jones. I must admit we were a horrible bunch of terribly behaved children so she must not have been thrilled to see us in the last hour of every school day. We probably contributed to her bad mood. 

Where do you teach? 

Sorry to hear about the engagement. 

I am glad to hear you like Texas. It can get pretty hot, but it’s December so you should be okay? 

How was your Christmas? Did you go back home? 

Also where is home?

I have never been to England but I have always wanted to. Maybe I should take leave… I have always wanted to see London and maybe Leicester (I like their soccer team), do you know anywhere else I should visit?

Sincerely, 

Jake

PS. I despise you. Is that a capital i or a lowercase L? Is there an E?

PPS. I’m going to ignore your correction. You are mean.

----

From Jane Falkworth to Jake Hangman Seresin

29th of January 2020

Jake, 

Is Christmas really Christmas without dry turkey? 

My mother certainly doesn’t seem to think so. Don’t tell her I said that. 

Sorry about the promotion but maybe you could use the pen to write a strongly worded letter to your commander. 

You may have crummy spelling (you don’t so far) but you certainly have a way with words. That was terribly poetic.

Do you get shot at often? How many seats are in your aircraft?

Also, in response to your question (“Outside of that, flying is flying, isn’t it?”): I don’t know, you tell me.

Mrs Jones? 

The teacher I work with is a Mrs Jones, her name is Elisabeth. If it is her you are talking about then I second everything you have said and I must tell you that no, she is just an unpleasant woman. I’m fairly certain she is stealing my lunches too. 

Don’t be sorry, he was a prick. Cheated on me with my best friend at our engagement party and told me about it on my birthday the following year. They are getting married in June. I wish them the best, they deserve each other.

Are you in a relationship? 

It is still too hot, I want snow. 

I stayed here for Christmas and celebrated with a skype call to my family, a large mug of tea and a Hallmark movie (do you think Hallmark movie directors have Chad Michael Murray on speed dial?) while my cats spent the entire day ignoring me. 

Home is in Leicester actually. Don’t go, it’s a uni town and there’s nothing there. Although if our paths ever meet I will take you to see them play. It’s football, not soccer. 

London is nice but almost always busy. That being said, you absolutely should visit if you can, it’s worth it. The Lake District is very nice, and maybe travel down to Canterbury. 

Sincerely, 

Jane

PS. Capital i. There is no E. 

PPS. How dare you.

From Jake Seresin to Jane Falkworth

8th of February 2020

Jane, 

I shall write to your mother posthaste, she must know what a terrible daughter you are. 

This isn’t Star Trek, I don’t have a commander. I have addressed my strongly worded letter to my Admiral instead. Please look over it and tell me what you think: 

“Admiral

Pay me more, I deserve it.

Cordially,

Jake Hangman Seresin.”

I don’t get shot at too often but I wanted to impress you. 

I’m on my own in the cockpit, I like it that way.

It’s not too different. The physics is the same, we just have to do everything ourselves and the aircrafts are faster. And, like I previously mentioned, there’s guns. 

Elisabeth Jones was my teacher! 

Glad to know I was right. Please keep an eye out on my niece, I don’t want her to have as bad a time with Mrs Jones as I did. Her name is Juliette Clark. 

Yikes. What a piece of work. Glad to know you’re not too broken-hearted. 

No girlfriend for me. My last relationship was with the daughter of a state trooper back in high school. He scared the living daylights out of me and I signed up for the navy soon after. Never really met anyone I wanted to go steady with since then.

Can I be honest? I don’t think I have ever seen snow. Google says it snows on average once every ten years in Texas, so I should have had three snowfalls by now. I don’t know how I missed them all.

Also yes, they definitely have him on speed dial. My sister likes him. Please send a picture of your cat. I need it. I have a dog called Maisie at home, she’s nice enough unless you open the fridge. She will fight you to get to the bacon and she will win. 

I will happily accept your offer to see Leicester play. Maybe they might even win. It’s soccer, not football. 

Canterbury has been added to the list of places to visit. 

What do you think of Birmingham? I have a friend who lives there.

Sorry if this letter is short, we ship out in the morning and I haven’t packed yet. I probably won’t be able to write while I am gone but I will write when I am back. Don’t let that stop you from sending me a letter, they’ll put it in my room when they distribute the mail. 

Sincerely, 

Jake

PS. Damn. Is there an A?

From Jane Falkworth to Jake Hangman Seresin

18th of February 

Jake, 

First of all, good luck! 

Second of all, did you have to google the word ‘posthaste’? 

Third of all, that letter sounds good. Send it and tell me what he replies. 

No need to exaggerate, I am already very impressed. Doesn’t it get lonely up there all by yourself? Do you get scared?

Juliet is an angel of a child and I will protect her at all costs. I am not just saying that because she brought me a pack of my favourite snacks last Tuesday, why do you ask?

In all seriousness, I keep an eye out for all of them. I don’t want them to have a bad time in class. How cute of you to ask, though.

What did that state trooper do to scare you off? 

‘Going steady’? Goodness gracious, have we gone back to the 50s? 

You’ll meet someone, I’m sure. You sound like an absolute catch in your letters, I can only imagine you’re even more charming in person. 

Snow is magnificent. It coats everything in a beautiful white blanket and it makes me want to stare out my window for hours on end. I like it best when it is fresh, though, right after it has fallen and right before people can mess it up with their dirty shoes. I don’t mind seeing some animal footprints, though, they make it more magical. 

I like Chad Michael Murray, he is dreamy. Your sister has good taste. 

A picture of my cats is enclosed but sadly, I could only find one picture and it included me. Can I have a picture of Maisie? 

Don’t be too hopeful about Leicester. I pity your friend who lives in Birmingham. 

Where were you shipped off to? Did it go well? 

Can you even tell me about it? 

Sincerely, 

Jane

Dear Jane, 

I did have to google it, sue me.

I sent it, he laughed.

If it’s all the same to you, I would rather forget about flying for a little bit. So, I won’t reply to those questions. 

Juliet is so precious. I love her so much. 

You sound like a very kind person. I would have liked to have you as my teaching assistant back in the day. Or maybe not, I wouldn’t be talking to anyone now then. 

I like our letters. They keep me company. I don’t love books but I reread them often whenever I need something to entertain me. That game of hangman is killing me, I have no idea what it could be, can I have a hint?

I walked in to ask her to prom only to find him cleaning a gun at the kitchen table. He looked me in the eyes with the world’s most evil stare and said “Don’t forget I know how to use one of these, boy. So don’t go hurtin’ my little girl.” I think I ran out the door. 

Haha, mock me for my use of ‘going steady’ but admit it, you think it’s sweet. 

You flatter me. You’ll find that I am much nicer on paper, I was voted ‘Biggest Jackass’ on base last year. I got a trophy. 

I’ve seen snow in movies. It always looks so nice. Kind of like a marshmallow blanket over the world.

Chad Michael Murray is dreamy, I agree. I have been told I look like him, though, so maybe it is just my vanity speaking. I have sent a picture of Maisie and me. I felt it was only fair you knew what I looked like. 

Is it appropriate to tell you that I think you look very nice in the picture you sent me? If it isn’t then I won’t tell you. I won’t lie though, I don’t see much Trelawney in you, maybe some Emma Watson. 

I have passed on your opinion of Birmingham to my friend, they agree. It has been struck off the travel list. 

Sincerely, 

Jake

Dear Jake,

Are you alright? 

I am here if you need someone.

I like our letters too. But I am offended by your opinion on books. How can you not love books? I think you simply haven’t found the right one. 

My favourite book is Pride and Prejudice, I’m not sure you would like it (It’s a romance) but it got me into reading in my early teens. I was sucked in and now I am very ashamed to say that I am slowly being invaded by paperbacks. I would tidy them but I have never been able to successfully put up an ikea shelf and I don’t know anyone who could help. 

You get one hint, either a letter or a definition. You choose. 

That is terrifying. I would have run too. 

I do think it’s sweet Jake… It annoys me. 

Sadly, your attempts at making me dislike you have failed. You are a delight to correspond with and I shall keep on believing so until I meet you and you change my mind. I do think it is hilarious that they sent you a trophy, I would pay to see it. 

Maisie is precious and you do look like Chad Michael Murray. Only, you’re buffer and I like you better. 

It is entirely appropriate of you to tell me that. I would like you to do so again, in fact. If you’re lucky I might tell you that I think you’re rather handsome yourself. 

When are you next in Texas?

We should meet. 

Love, 

Jane

Dear Jane,

Meet me at the coffee shop on 2000 E 6th Street on 04/05/2020

I will be waiting for you (with Maisie) at 3 PM.

Don’t be late,

Love, 

Jake

PS. I’ll take a definition please. T?

Jane was unreasonably nervous arriving at the coffee shop. She had been there before but only for a quick pickup during her lunch break in order to scout out the place. The interior was modern, with large leather sofas to sit on and the coffee had been decent. 

She knew what Jake looked like thanks to his picture and while she had secretly taken out the picture and studied his face multiple times before he replied to her last letter, she was scared she wouldn’t recognise him. Just to be safe, Jane had brought the picture. 

It hadn’t been necessary, Jake was taller than everyone by a foot and twice as handsome. He held a small Jack Russel by a lead and was trying to stop it from running straight into traffic. 

She walked up to him and gently tapped his shoulder. 

“Jesus Christ, you scared me! Hi!” He said with a smile showing a row of colgate white teeth. He looked even more handsome in person, and worst of all, he smelled amazing too. 

Jane wasn’t scared to admit that she had developed quite the crush on Jake over the last few months but she was scared to admit how fast her crush was turning into something more. She hadn’t even met the man for a full minute for Christ’s sake. 

“You look nice” She said

“Love the accent” He winked “Shall we go inside? I am dying for a cup of coffee”

You followed him in. Clearly, Jake was a regular as Maisie started pulling the lead almost as soon as he had passed the threshold. He tried to herd her into the line to order.

“I swear I had her trained before I left, I don’t know what happened” He chuckled nervously. No matter what, Maisie wouldn’t listen so he gave her to Jane and she gave him her order before following the dog to an empty booth. Jake came back five minutes later with coffees in hand. 

She wasn’t sure what she had been expecting from the coffee date (was it even a date? Jake had never said so, but it was implied, no?) but this wasn’t entirely it. The conversation was very pleasant and Jake was funny, but Jane was all too happy to let her feelings take the wheel. Her heart fluttered whenever he winked, she felt butterflies whenever he touched her and her brain seemed entirely incapable to think when, after having accompanied her back to her car, Jake had kissed her on the cheek. 

Jane had had to have a serious talk with herself at home to remind her to get a grip. She had met Jake a few months ago, and even though they had been exchanging letters every week since, this was still their very first time meeting in the flesh. There was every possibility that Jake simply wasn’t interested in her, and that if he was, her eagerness would push him away. 

So, determined not to freak him out, she let Jake write the first letter after their first meeting. It arrived only two days later, with no postage stamp. The idea that Jake had hand delivered it to her was giving her the jitters.

From Jake Seresin to Jane Falkworth

06th of April 2020

Dearest Jane,

I am a coward. 

There were so many things I wanted to tell you when we met that I was able to completely ignore the one thing that mattered: I think I may be in love with you. 

I know, I know, we only really met four months ago, but it turns out that it doesn’t take much more than that for me to fall in love. 

When I left on the 19th of February I thought it would be an easy mission. Just something run of the mill. But while we flew our way back to the carrier, we were attacked by two enemy planes. We were getting pelted with bullets and I panicked. I thought I was going to die and the thought of leaving your letter without a reply was more distressing to me than it probably should have been. I think I thought I might have a crush on you then. 

And then, when I got your picture in the mail, I thought my heart might burst out of my chest. For the first time in my life, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was in love. 

I am in love, Jane. 

You are a kind, gentle, clever and incredibly funny woman. I value the time we spent writing to each other immensely and I would love for us to get to know each other in person. I understand if you want to take it slow or if you’re not interested at all, but I needed to tell you on the off-chance that you feel the same.

I hope to hear from you again

Yours, 

Jake

PS. I asked my sister what she thought and she thinks the word is ‘incognizant’. Are we right?

Asks Compilation 18/07

I'm really enjoying Hivebent! It almost feels like a detour into a different story, like the Intermission - although the difference, of course, is that we know this one is plot-relevant. 

The tone is quite different too. Things are kind of ominous - and not just because we know the troll session(s) are doomed. We’re slowly zooming into the culture of a pretty terrible world, and I’m sure there’s a lot more to see.  

I've thought about this, but there are two main issues here:

I like to refer back to previous posts a lot when I’m liveblogging, both for further analysis and to illustrate points. Audio or video reactions are sort of hard to reference - I could do a transcript, but I don’t think it’d be very useful, because

I’m just not very good live, lmao. I’m a lot more comfortable in text, where I can format and edit posts to properly illustrate what I’m trying to say. Live, I tend to ramble - even my text posts have to be cut down a little from my initial reactions. You’re really not missing much; trust me on this.

If the flashes ever get really long - like, if we do a larger one of these, which I’m assuming is a walkaround - I’ll reconsider. I doubt it, though, I’d probably be more likely to split it into multiple posts. I’ll keep it under consideration, though!

Karkat and his friends and everyone they would ever meet thereafter would experience great misfortune on account of the curse unwittingly implemented through Sollux's esoteric MOBIUS DOUBLE REACHAROUND VIRUS.

I think either interpretation makes sense - this sentence is kind of ambiguous, now that I’m looking at it again. Although, if Sollux did know what the virus would do, why would he send it to his friend? 

He knows Karkat is an amateur programmer, which is the worst kind of person to send this too. Karkat can compile and run this code, but he can’t understand it. What the hell, Captor?

I absolutely hate to admit this, but I watched Morbius with my friend a couple of weeks ago. The experience was indescribable, and it’s stuck in my mind ever since.

But my favorite moment will be when John looks directly out of the panel, meeting my eye, and speaks thusly:

I'm wearing ‘cliffnotes-esque’ as a badge of honor from now on. I kind of want to make it my blog header.

Yeah, I try to attach any relevant context to the points I make, just to help me tie things together. As a bonus, it hopefully helps readers out, too!

Oh my god, does this mean Sburb is on a grub? Are all the actual troll computers just... full of insects?  

Was Karkat, like, really confused by the non-biological tape storage in the Veil, or was his Veil just wall-to-wall grubs?

That’s too funny. It’s second only to Kingdom Hearts in weird stream-crossing moments in video games. I’ve never actually played a dating game before, but I gotta give this one a go - I actually think I’ve seen that JaidenAnimations dating game video before, I’ve seen a lot of her stuff. 

It may not be true canon, but maybe this is the legendary semi-canon that I keep hearing about...

Oh I love Undertale - Deltarune too. There is just so much going on in those games, on every level. 

Toby, not to rush you, but you have no idea the things I’d do for Chapter 3 to drop today. 

I actually didn’t catch this! Not that I’ve studied any classics, or anything.

I guess my pronunciation isn’t quite right. I guess it’d be something like ‘saul-ucks cap-ter’?

So he is. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that mental health services on Alternia are somewhat lacking, even more so than on Earth. Do you think trolls even know what therapy is? 

Aw, the poor monsters. 

Shit, I hadn’t thought of this yet - what lusus will my trollsona have? I’m thinking of some sort of insect, but leave it with me. 

[https://4-panel-life.tumblr.com/post/63400990221/before-i-knew-what-homestuck-was-i-was-really this I think 😂 - Cat ] 

Love it. I’d honestly have probably spent the rest of my life confusing the two, if I hadn’t started this blog. As I said, I have no earthy clue what Homestar Runner is about, only that it was a beacon of internet culture in the era before I came online.

I don’t doubt that puns were in play when Hussie was initially naming these Aspects - and those puns may well tie into their symbolism. It’s a pretty good way to get some inspiration when you’re naming things.

But I’m sure there’s more too it - simply because people love these Titles. The system is presumably pretty deep, and the pun is but a single faucet of each Title.

Thank you! Hilariously, it’s actually hotter at home than it was abroad. 

Is anyone else dealing with the heatwave, right now? Holy shit, you guys, even normal summers make me drowsy. This one is something else. 

Always up for some Sylladex analysis. 

We’ve considered this interpretation before. It makes a lot of sense - and it gels with what we already know about Sburb - but I’m still on the fence about it, mostly because it raises the same question that the rest of Sburb’s predestination system does - namely, how it would account for alternate timelines. 

There are ways to handle it - like, maybe each iteration of each person gets their own, personal index - and I do think we’re on the right track with predestination, but I still don’t think we have the whole picture here. 

Everything, Everywhere was a lot of fun - and all the AU and alt-self stuff was very Homestuck. 

Does anyone else wish we'd seen more of the other timelines, though? I know the movie was intentionally centered on one specific iteration of the family, but I'd love to have seen more of what went down in, for example, the Prime Timeline.

Dis* is me when I try to use regexes.

I'm on the for you page? I've fucking made it. Catch me monetizing the shit out of this blog now.

........

I honestly don’t think I can post these on the blog. Why does the the fact that they’re office clerks make it worse, somehow? The juxtaposition of the casual mood with what we’re seeing is generating a feeling that’s adjacent to, but somehow more harrowing than, the uncanny valley. 

Incredible. I feel like my life has been enriched in a way I can neither understand nor describe.  

Oh right, yeah, the ‘secrets’ in the playable panels! Yeah, I’d actually forgotten about these, thanks for the reminder.

It's been a while since a playable flash, so I need to remember to find the key combination for each of them. if I miss one, remind me!

I just finished Will+Dress and have officially started Divine Z

I liked Will+Dress a lot. I love how Yu-yu essentially declared war on all net deckers🤣. But yeah the commentary about players becoming samey is very relevant to card games. I never expected the antagonist would be an AI. He’s just a silly little guy.

I’m still wondering if Yu-yu was related to his creator. We still haven’t figured out why Yu-yu’s dad’s face was hidden. Also I was wrong about everyone who I thought had Psyqualia😅. It really seemed like the story was building up to revealing that Yu-yu or Urara had Psyqualia. Like what was those melodies she heard?! Or the glow from her friend?! Or the flames Michiru was talking about?! Was Michiru talking about flames a Gaillard reference?!

I have so many questions 😅. However it seems like Divine Z is continuing on from Will+Dress so hopefully we’ll get some answers 🥲. Overall, Overdress + Will+Dress are my second favorite Vanguard series after the original. I like them WAY more than G.

As for Divine Z I already like Akina more than Yu-yu because he’s his own character rather than feeling like Walmart Aichi. They also did a really good job at getting you invested in his wish. I’m also a simple girl who just loves knights🤣. We’ve finally gone full circle back to the Sanctuary. Though, I definitely see Akina’s deck as being more Angel Feather coded than Royal Paladin. So, this new story is essentially the Holy Grail War in Vanguard😅? It’s very interesting and not what I was expecting from the chosen ones trope. Also Overdress characters are part of them👀! They’re characters I wanted to see more of too. An interesting line from the beginning is that it mentioned that people have loved Vanguard since ancient times which I think firmly proves that the D-format canon is its own universe 🤔. I’m pretty sure the og continuity never implied that Vanguard always existed unless I’m forgetting something from G. Most importantly are Akina and Yu-Yu related?! Why do they look so similar?!

Akina punting the plushie was peak fiction change my mind.

I’m kinda worried though the stakes are so high that Akina might be subjected to some plot armor. I really don’t want that so I hope Divine Z avoids that. I want to keep having suspenseful fights. Anyway I hope Divine Z stays good. I really like its concept. Interestingly this is the first Vanguard series to start off being overtly supernatural which is in massive contrast to Overdress which seemed to hint at something supernatural at the most.

So now that I’m completely caught up I’ll resume the weekly reactions😊!

Hopping back here just to give a proper notice and all that.

Alongside having gotten into a stable relationship, taking my art more seriously and getting into art school come August I haven’t really felt the inspiration to come back on here to write. I’ve gone through mental health aid for the first time last year since I was a teenager due to my engagement on here, something I have thankfully worked through a year later, and the desire to engage with roleplay has diminished greatly because of that. Not even to mention the time I feel I have in the day doesn’t exactly cater to it anymore.   I still love to write, I still have so many ideas for Damian and Hikari but I think I’ve ended up moving past the fandom and would rather focus on developing a personal story for the two in a different format. If that will happen now or in the future, I don’t know. But authorship has always been an aspiration of mine and hopefully that can come true one day. I finally feel like I at least have the bare bones of a story in mind now thanks to roleplaying these two for like four years.

All this is a bit of a ramble to say... Hey, it was alright while it lasted and while the itch to get back on here does tickle me sometimes, especially for the threads I had going on here and the stories left untold, I can’t really see myself roleplay again in the near future. So this blog will be put on a permanent hiatus or just... Well, it will be nothing more than my own little archive to look back at once I decide to actually write for myself again. To those who I kept around for this account - you are great and I hope y’all have a good summer! You made writing fun again and I hope to be able to enjoy it on my own soon. See you when I see you c: 

#ooc #hiatus #if you wanna see my art you can check twitter and insta under the name sovandeprins but yeah #i havent really been able to focus on normal art bc that isnt bringing in money lol #so theres not really much new stuff on there #sfw dont really pay the bills lol #but yeah kiss kiss bye bye

It was a dark night in Free-ridge, you had just came from a party that had ended with a shoot out of two opposing gangs. But that didn’t stop your night from being fun you and your friends decided to roam the streets looking for trouble or something the least bit interesting. Before you left the party you and your friend had lil bits to drink so you guys were a little shot minded. I didn’t take long for you two to roam around and stumble into a yard full of bald men. Strangely there was a couch outside but not strange enough, you’ve seen worse

“Hey who the hell are you..” a deep scruffy voice said to you. This voice belonged to the most handsome man you’ve ever seen

“I’m your worst nightmare.” You said in a low deep seductive tone you bit your bold, red lips and smirked at the man. He looked at you with a stern gaze, his cold gaze made a chill go through your whole entire body. You two were inches away from each other. You could smell the cigarette ash and lite bud beer sent that stained his clothes. And 9 times out of ten he could smell the light sent of alcohol that lingered your mouth. After a long period of silence he grinned and laughed in your face. His smug laugh filled you with instant rage, you hated being a laughing stock, so in a fit of rage you slapped in on his cheek… the red mark of your hand print still lingering on his bearded face. He immediately started laughing you started to regret your decision immediately

Your friend sensed the danger that you were in so she grabbed your wrist and then you two booked it immediately! While running you to were laughing your asses off until you two arrived to your house. The two of you plopped down on your bed and you removed your your shoes. You guys were still out of breath from running all the way from that strange but handsome man’s house to your house. Your so tired that you begin to dose off..

It’s the next morning, and your friend woke you up with the smell of her signature cinnamon pancakes you hopped up out of bed and walked to the kitchen.

“Good morning sleeping beauty, did your Prince Charming come and kiss you up?” She said teasingly. You mock her while she puts the pancakes on your plate you pick up the fork and knife that was already laid out for you.

“Sooo, are we gonna talk about last night” your friend said

“UGH, I rather not” you said, telling ashamed for all of your previous actions I mean who even was that guy you thought,

“Come on Y/N you slapped the fu*k outta that guy! And you don’t wanna talk about it?”

“NO!” You said as you stuffed your mouth with your friends fluffy, delicious pancakes. You wanted to forget that night forever and you prayed that you never, ever met that guy again because if you did you felt as if something bad might happen. Later that evening you felt like being productive, so you went on a walk to get some groceries. It was all move sailing until you looked into an ally way and saw a bald man beating another man. He seemed familiar, he was bald with tattoos and was wearing a wife beater. You started to ponder on who it could be then, you remembered from the night before. You tried to leave before he noticed you but he turned around walked up to you and pulled you into the ally way, then he pinned you to the wall. “Tell anyone about this and your de*d” you opened your mouth to respond but he interrupted you “ wait….don’t I know you from somewhere” sh*t sh*t sh*t you thought, this was for sure then end until he spoke again “Your the crazy hyna that slapped the fu*k out of spooky” he chuckled “he’s been looking for you” the bald man said with a grin on your face. Then in the blink of an eye, he shoved you into the back seat of his red vintage convertible you try to put up a fight but it was no use for his big burly arms and his overwhelming strength. He started to pull out of the ally way and drive along the dangerous streets of free ridge until you guys stopped in the driveway of the house that was familiar. It was the house from last light… “Alright vamos”

Power of the Doctor ramble

So I’m of two minds about the lack of Thasmin kiss. I’ve hopefully figured out a way to watch this with my best friend who doesn’t have cable tomorrow, so once I’ve seen it again and can more fully appreciate what we DID get without my hopes of what we COULD get in the way, I might be able to solidify this a bit more, but. Because on the one hand, what we DID get was incredible! Overall I really really loved the episode! Their scenes together were all so good, there was so much care and respect built into every single line, and Yaz’ Doctorification arc was TRULY incredible. And it builds from and respects the Doctor’s choice in the previous episode, that this is something she just can’t give. And as a very ace person, a story treating platonic love as literally the most important thing in the universe is amazing, actually. And also this is a story of “it matters that the love was there. It didn’t save everyone, but it saved a lot of people, and it matters even if it wasn’t everything we wanted, because the love really was there” story. And I love those stories. But I work in corporate IP media. And I know, all too well, just how hard it is to get queer things greenlit. I have been there. I have spent so much time crying in office bathrooms trying and failing to get something through for characters *much* less brand significant, in much less high-profile formats, than the Doctor. And so I don’t really know if this was what Chibnall (and I don’t pin the “blame” for this on him at all) felt was best for his characters, or if some exec somewhere who hadn’t even read the scripts said “you can go this far and no further. Here is the line. These are the Rules.” I suspect, from my experience, that it’s the latter, although because of my experiences I might be reading into it too much. I have no way of knowing for sure. And I have to admit, it hurts that I thought maybe, just maybe, we might win this one.

Also, being a professional editor means sometimes it’s hard to turn off Editor Brain, and for the most part this episode did (which is high praise!), but I wanted 1-3 more lines in their final scene together. We’ll see if watching it without a GODDAMN COMMERCIAL BREAK in between “let’s not say goodbye” and Yaz being dropped off (seriously BBC America you’re the worst) changes my mind about this, but I think I just needed a tiny little bit more to get that Yaz “I’m with you, whatever happens” Khan would willingly walk away so easily. And I loved her arc and I’m SO RELIEVED she’s alive and I think she’s been left in a great place, and overall I think Chibs is pretty spare with his writing and that’s what I like about it? He doesn’t belabor the point, but this one, this needed just a tiny bit more, I think. It needed a “I think I have to do this next bit alone” / “Are you sure?” / “I promised I would get you home, Yasmin Khan. And I will.” / “Let’s not say goodbye.” Just that last little bit felt like it was missing, just one last little bit. Also I hope Yaz gets to have a good cry somewhere because she’s dropped straight from “my not-quite-girlfriend/best friend died” to “former companion support group” with nothing in between and OOF what whiplash.

Also also I knew that was exactly what returning-DT would say. I KNEW IT. *sighs forever* (10 brought me into this show I love 10 I will always love 10 but - again, less for the-actual-show-itself reasons and more for external fears that RTD will just pretend 13′s era didn’t exist reasons - I am not excited to see him back in this precise way, but we shall see.)

#also they can't call him the 14th doctor because also in corporate IP that would fuck up the metadata on the toy sales #and we can't have that #they gonna put 10/14 on all the packaging? I think not #also they probably couldn't get Tosin and Freema back #but I wish they had had Ryan and Martha at the support group #because Martha in particular deserves a support group #and also then Yaz wouldn't be the only white person in the room #also also if they had to bring back DT couldn't they at least let him be Scottish? #only modern Doctor not to get to use his real voice which is so sad #anyway #1am rambles #I have no idea how I'm going to function tomorrow I have so many Feelings #overall I truly did love the episode! #doctor who ramblings #doctor who #doctor who spoilers #thasmin #the power of the doctor #power of the doctor spoilers #spoilers: not safe for Sarahs
