babygirl there is absolutely nothing normal about my emotions. i can blow up at the littlest of things and feel like everyone hates me at the tiniest hint of rejection like you wouldn't BELIEVE
#🔪#god i just want to have normal reactions to things#especially when i have to fucking internalize every explosive reaction i have#i have to just disappear or pretend everything is fine or literally just stop saying a single word#because otherwise i will blow up on people and i will fuck everything up#and i will ruin relationships because of my own emotions that i can't control and have a mind of their own#i know internalizing them isn't what i should do but what other option do i have?#i can't talk about them. i can't let them show.#because they are overreactions#and it's not anyone's fault#i can't tell them how awful they make me feel because they are literally not at fault at all#they're not doing a single thing wrong but my brain is overreacting and perceiving that they are#even though i KNOW they aren't#so why the fuck would i tell them that their perfectly normal actions are making me feel like everyone hates me#that's not a normal or okay reaction to have#especially when all that happened was they just gave the same one word response multiple times in a row when i was talking about something#and i perceived that to mean that they didn't care at all about what i was saying#and that i'm annoying and should just shut the fuck up and never talk about anything i'm excited about or like ever again#because no one wants to actually hear it and all i will do is annoy everyone#like that's. not a normal reaction to have and it's completely unjustified so i can't just. say that.

🏹 " "You'd better be quiet or everyone's going to know what a naughty little slut you are."
For Anakin 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
— CW: 18+, smut! Anakin is mean. He is kind of toxic and he is such a bastard in this one sorry, I was in a mood for mean!Anakin. PiV, dirty talk, choking, (kind of?) exhibitionism. Minors DNI 🫶🏻🔪
– A/N: Hope you like it Anon ;).
Tumblr media
Crawling back to his touch is always a bad thing, but it feels so good it drowns all the guilt and remorse. Anakin knows your body like the back of his hand, biting, kissing and thrusting in all the right places.
His love is addictive, as much as it is toxic. His tongue knows the patterns below your ear all the way to your chest that make you moan and buckle your hips, asking him for more, begging him to stay one more night, which always ends up being ten more nights. Anakin is a drug, a drug with tanned skin and blue eyes, a drug no one warned you about.
The meditation room used to be your sanctuary. A place to hide from the exterior, from the cruel world that threatened your sanity— Until Anakin managed to corrupt the only good thing you had left. It was one of his favorite places to bend you over and take you, claim you as his property and use your weak mind as a form to boost his ego and narcissistic self esteem. Why? Because it had all the privacy he needed to break you down and see the pieces he loved to pick up, build, and break again.
His hand kept your face against the soft meditation mattresses, while the other guided his hard length between your wet folds, slowly sliding it inside you. Anakin groans quietly, panting and smirking wickedly, completely aware of the effect he has on you; Always giving you just enough to keep you coming for more.
"Good girl, I like you more when you don't put up a fight" Anakin whispers, caressing your lower back with his flesh hand, sending electric waves straight to your core. He is so sweet when he wants to. "So pretty... see? This is what you were made for, to please me, to be mine."
His hips pull back, keeping a steady pace. Normally he is rough and relentless, but apparently today he was feeling generous. "Say it."
Anakin, just like he was outside the bedroom, is extremely talkative, he never fucking keeps his mouth shut. He doesn't know the meaning of the word: Silence.
"Say what?" You ask breathlessly, closing your eyes and arching your back, your own hips pressing backwards to meet his thrusts.
"Say you are mine." Anakin says as if you were stupid, rolling his eyes. "Don't act fool, we are having a nice moment."
"Are we?" You snap back, acting like you weren't rutting for him.
Your lack of cooperation infuriates him, he's so generous to give you the fuck of your life and that's how you pay him? With a different mindset, he removes his hand from your head to wrap it around the nape of your neck. Without warning, without consideration, without any self restraint, Anakin chokes you as he relentlessly pounds you, forcing your ass in the air by sneaking his arm around your stomach. The duality of a man: Anakin can either praise you or break you. Either way, you end up with a world-shattering orgasm.
The position looks and feels uncomfortable. Your body, flexible enough thanks to years of training, is having a hard time keeping up with this type of treatment. There's no doubt your back will be sore the next day, and the next one, and on and on, until he manages to trap you again and have his way with you.
On the bright side, the position allows him to hit that perfect spot effortlessly, over and over until you no longer feel the pain, only the pleasure. His large cock has the illusion to be reaching your intestines, rearranging them and bullying your poor, swollen pussy to its shape, length and girth.
Your moans increase in volume, to the point that you are almost screaming, and sure, the meditation rooms are constructed especially to muffle noise from the outside, from the inside... it may not be as effective. Your sweet, loud voice bounces against the tall, cream walls just like the soft suple flesh of your ass bounces against Anakin's thighs, smearing all the mixed slick between your bodies. The wet slapping is music to Anakin's ears, but it's similar to a fork against a plate for you; it is a constant reminder that Anakin ruined you, he ruined sex for you because no one will ever make you feel like this, no one will ever be able to fill you up just like Anakin makerdamned Skywalker does.
He seems to notice how much you are enjoying it, but as much as he prefers to make you scream until your throat is raw and worn, he knows outsiders might not be as fond— Plus, despite not having a committed relationship with you, Anakin feels entitlement over you.
And, if we are being honest, you belong to him as much as he belongs to you.
Bending over you, with his animalistic grin and manly groans, he hotly says against your sweaty face, with his hand still squeezing your neck so tight but not too tight that your vision begins to blur. "You'd better be quiet or everyone's going to know what a naughty little slut you are."
Perhaps he is being too harsh on you, but that has always been your dynamic, right? A part of him feels guilty, a hint of remorse for treating you this way, you are such a beautiful, wonderful strong person, so why can't he give you that?
As quick as the thought comes, it goes. The clenching of your sopping cunt around him washes the guilt away. You love it, you could've said no, and yet you didn't. You try to shake your head as a reply, but it hurts to even move your shoulders so you just mewl pathetically as a response, drawing a smile on Anakin's lips.
His release comes without a warning, just like it always does. He fills you up just right and the overflowing feeling is hot, warm and it brings you that world-shattering orgasm I mentioned before. And maybe Anakin has grown a soft spot for you after long nights of fucking, but he continues pushing his body to a brink of overstimulation so he can make you come.
You do, you reach that desired point so quickly it completely crashes your brain and turns it into mush. Anakin shows some vulnerability and moans softly as he strokes your hip with his hand, the touch feels intimate, almost lovingly.
But of course it doesn't last long.
The second Anakin slides his softening dick out of you with a wet sound, you fall over the mattress with a quiet huff. Breathlessly, you manage to stare at him from below, panting and unable to mutter a single word. He stands up, picking up his cloak from the floor throwing it to you, before walking away of the meditation room.
"Clean yourself up, you can keep the cloak."

[[CALL OF DUTY]]
THESE BOYS - HEADCANONS
Hi friends! Welcome to my new fixation lol. I just wanted to start out with some headcanons just to kind of bulid them how I would like... Hope you enjoy🔪💕
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
SIMON "GHOST" RILEY
As he says in the game, Simon has a heart, a very cold one, however to the people he truly loves and holds close you get to see his heart and it is one of gold. He is a man that has seen a lot in life and been through too much bad that he thinks there is no way he could ever be good or meant to find love, however that is completely untrue and sometimes Simon needs that reminder. It may take a solid year before he even smiles at you under the mask or let alone share a deep conversation with you. It takes a long time for him to trust, but when he does, you are his family. No if ands or buts.
Because of this Simon has a very small social circle. Ghost knows many due to work and connections, people he has worked for and favours he'd have favours to return, however Simon only knows a couple people, truly knows them. And when he knows you he reminds all of your subtle mannerisms, your childhood stories, want you like and what you hate. No detail will be forgotten and it is a pleasure to know him.
Ghost watches everything.... absolutely everything. On missions you often see him stepped aside or behind the others but that definitely doesn't mean he will stand there and take it, we all know that well, and at home is no exception. He likes to observe you in all ways from making your coffee in the morning to just watching you get ready for bed. This carries over into the bedroom, that's right, Simon loves to give orders and watch you do so much for him. You're his perfect little baby and he wants to see you a mess.
Also one of his favorite things is to have you sit in front of him and please yourself, watch you struggle to get the feeling only Simon can give you. Normally he doesn't have the patience of a God but for moments like these he will take his time to watch you fall apart for him only because Simon knows the world of pleasure and pain he will give you after.
Surprisingly however, this man is an incredibly giving person behind closed doors, just for you to see. Simon enjoys getting you little gifts after long grueling missions, buying your favorite food, he just doesn't like the kind of gifts that are overly showy like walking around with a bunch of flowers is not his style. Speaking of giving behind closed doors, Ghost loves to push you to your absolute limit in the bedroom, with all his observations of you he takes every little hint and move forward to get the best results so to speak. He simply cannot get off if you haven't at least twice before him.
However, do not let that pleasing and giving nature in the bedroom lull you into a false sense of security because Simon is a big fan of edging you over and over again, making you cry and squeal, hit him and claw at him, he wants to see/hear it all. Ghost is a sadist after all (just not as much as König).
Nights are the hardest for him, even though he will never admit it. Simon has a horrendous time trying to sleep and when he finally does it is very light, waking up if he hears a truck pull up or if you move too much in bed. No matter what you try he will just brush it off and say "Nothing to worry 'bout, love" but it does worry about you. Often times you will try to stay up with Simon and he appreciates it everytime but will always hush you to bed and watch you on his chest.
Tumblr media
KÖNIG
He may have severe social anxiety but when he is out in the field he gets so hopped up on adrenaline and stress that he becomes outgoing and more than capable of everything the mission needs, even becoming a leader when he needs to be. The problem comes when he is on the bases and in meetings, he shifts a lot in his seat, bounces his leg and even nibbles on his lips so badly they begin to bleed behind the mask. Even when König is home, the anxiety sets in so he relies on trying to keep constantly busy so he doesn't have to sit with his own thoughts.
With that, he surprisingly has a major caffeine addiction, it keeps him awake, alert and oddly makes him calm when he is on that high. Always the day has to begin with a black coffee then a redbull then whatever else he can get his hands on, even if he is on a mission König will try anything for energy drinks.
Although this man is a mountain, good luck keeping him still and being able to relax for the day. König will try for you to have a relaxing day on the couch and just watching movies, however, he just finds it impossible. If you want a day in bed, he doesn't have an issue but it just means you will be getting busy the whole time.
König is a big boy and that doesn't mean his stamina is low, no, no. It's the absolute opposite. One round is never enough for him, never, ever. When he gets home to see you, there is no way you are getting out of the primal, animalistic urges he has. There is a reason his name is "king", he always gets what he wants in not exactly the softest way. König's energy is more rough and needy, desperate I'm a way as he takes you in anyway possible, even forcing you to take it when you can't any longer. The man loves to use ropes as well, tying your writhing body down to watch you beg and cry with overstimulation as me makes you cum over and over, forcing you and breeding you animalistically. It will be hours before his knife comes out to cut the ropes and lap up any blood that comes from it.
Speaking of knives and blood, König has an honest love for it. He is gross the field, brutal and a 250 pound beast. His passion for knives is unmatched and sees pleasure in the kill when he plunges the blade within a body or when he gets a sniper shot.
König might be a huge mountain with anxiety, a passion for the thrill of the kill, often a stubborn bastard who can be a prick and his the libido of a God but when König finally finds his partner as awkward as he might be at first, he falls hard and is full of fire, feeling deeply and truly just wanting someone to talk with on the nights he can't sleep, although he sleeps like a fucking immovable rock. Now, you won't go out much to bars or movies or restaurants for dates, he just loves the quiet places and long drives.

♡ JOHN DOE + YANDERE S/O HCS. ˚⊹꒷
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
﹕₊˚ʚ❤️ɞ・[word count] 1141.
﹕₊˚ʚ🐞ɞ・[warnings] yandere character, yandere reader, not edited/proofread.
﹕₊˚ʚ🖤ɞ・[adi moment] thank you so much for the request, anon!! this was pretty fun to work on, and i hadn’t actually thought of writing something like this before!! i wasn’t sure if you wanted headcanons, a drabble, or a oneshot, so i decided to do headcanons and explore some different aspects of the relationship!! things are all over the place, but i hope you enjoy!! (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)
Tumblr media
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・I imagine that Doe would have been stalking You for quite some time when the events of John Doe + take place. And I imagine that during this period of time, he would’ve been doing a lot to try and be as ‘normal’ and human-like as possible, thinking that it would help him gain your affections. That’s why it’s such a shock for him when he finds out that you feel the same ‘passion’ that he does! [He calls it passion, at least.] But of course, he’s not complaining! In fact, it’s something that would make him incredibly happy!
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Doe’s already a clingy person on his own, and would be the type to follow You around no matter what you’re doing. When the two of you initially started dating, he would be the type to try and give you some alone time in the assumption that it would make you happy. However, if You wanted him to stay by your side at every hour of the day, he would be overjoyed to! Free time is completely optional, to him at least! 
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Though, with all of the affection that You let Doe give you, he might start to get worried that he’s being too overbearing. He might get scared that  he’s smothering you too much, and that you might get uncomfortable and want to break up with him. Please make sure to reassure your eldritch boyfriend! He loves you with his entire being, and even the thought of you leaving him breaks his heart. After all, you dating him is nothing less than a dream come true, and he doesn’t want to risk things turning into a nightmare.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Assuming that all of that gets smoothened out, get ready for heaps upon heaps of affection. I’m talking about amounts of affection that you wouldn’t even be able to imagine, amounts beyond your wildest hopes and dreams. He will absolutely cover you in kisses at any given moment, hold your hand and walk around with you no matter where you’re going, clinging to you like plastic wrap on a bowl. Even if you somehow wanted him to leave you alone at that point, he probably wouldn’t.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・When I’m talking about the two of you always being together, I mean it in the most literal sense. If you’re out somewhere, Doe is with you. If you’re in the bathroom, Doe is waiting right outside. If you’re visiting a friend’s house, Doe will be sitting on their couch right next to you. If you’re at work, Doe will always be relaxing with You and pretending to be a very loyal customer whenever your boss decides to pop in. Everybody in your apartment complex would know, and it would become one of those very open secrets that nobody talks about, but everybody knows.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・If You had ever tried to stalk Doe, I can one-hundred percent guarantee that he knew. He’s got eyes in all sorts of places, even if you weren’t aware. Though, I’m unsure if he would call it stalking, per se. He’d probably just assume it to be some normal form of human interest, which if anything, would only cause him to want to stalk you more. This would also lead to you upping the intensity of your stalking in the assumption that he likes somebody else in your apartment complex, which would just lead to an entire stalk-off. 
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・This is something he’d casually bring up one day when the both of you start dating. You’d be snuggling into his side while the two of you are binging horror movies, and there’d be a scene where the killer is stalking their victim. And then, out of the blue, Doe would bounce up and point at the TV screen and start reminiscing about the times that you were both stalking each other. You didn’t know he was aware of that beforehand, and you nearly fell off the couch in shock. You then listened to your boyfriend go on a passionate ramble of all the places you hid while trying to stay out of his view, even bringing up the time when you tried to sneak into his house. 
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・It was a risky idea on your part, but You weren’t expecting things to be too difficult. However, despite the events of your first day in the valley, you had yet to properly adjust to the true weirdness of the place. His home seemed like an impossibly big maze after you had entered, doors to all sorts of strange places littering the walls, floor, and even the ceiling. Cue comedic shenanigans as you try to find the door to get out while trying to make sure that you didn’t get caught - something that you thought you succeeded in, but apparently not.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・As for jealousy, I imagine that Doe’s wouldn’t actually be too severe. If any version of You were to date Doe, his jealousy would mostly be dissipated since he would trust that nobody could steal you away from him - even more so if You were also a yandere like him. To him, there’s no point in worrying if the two of you are already so madly in love with each other!
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・He wouldn’t actually mind if you were the type to get jealous, though. If anything, I think he might just be a bit more on the flattered side of the spectrum. Now, he wouldn’t actually go out of his way to make you jealous, and he’d stop you from doing anything that you might regret, but he wouldn’t actually get upset about it either.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Doe would love to brag to other people about how in love the two of you are. Now, he’s not the most social person, and he doesn’t have a large group of friends outside of You - or… any at all, to be honest. Regardless, he’ll take any opportunity provided to him to talk about how cute You are, and how lucky he is to be in such a happy relationship with you - even if it’s just to some poor gas station customer that’s letting all of the words in one ear and out the other. Doe usually doesn’t notice, but you make sure to give the patron a sharp glare - just in case.
╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・I don’t think either of you would actually go as far as to do anything violent, at the end of the day. When it comes to it, I think the general possessiveness, clinginess, and possible jealousy on your end would be the most extreme that the relationship would become, especially seeing the fact that the two of you already have feelings for each other. Compared to the general weirdness of Uncanny Valley, I’m sure that the residents of the place wouldn’t really care, especially when you compare your relationship to the absolutely crazy things that take place on the island.

I haven’t read a whole lot of TMA fic, so I’m sure this already exists somewhere, but I really want a time travel fic where Jon goes back to Gertrude’s era.
So it’s 2007-ish, before his younger counterpart has started working at the Institute, but years into Elias and Gertrude’s tenure. They’re having a normal day serving the semi-omniscient fear god when a fucking full-fledged avatar of the Beholding - complete with a small mountain of tapes - falls through a rift in space-time and crash lands on Gertrude’s desk.
(Season 5 Jon might have decided not to kill Helen and instead used her to get here. If he ever sees her again they’re going to have A Talk™ about her choice of transportation.)
For the record, a hot mess of a man falling from the sky indoors is only like... the eighth most interesting thing to happen to Gertrude this week. Still, it’s clear he’s not entirely human - one gets a sense for these things, even without a giant eyeball’s help - and she’s got a knife on him faster than you can say “Statement.” This doesn’t seem to faze the man.
That annoys the fuck out of Gertrude.
Meanwhile, Elias has nearly passed out from the supernatural alarm bells going off in his head because the Ceaseless Watcher’s special little boy is here!!! What does that mean? Hell if he knows, but this man is ALIGHT with the Entities’ marks, just dripping with the power of the Eye, and Elias finds he has the sudden urge to drop to his knees before this stranger, something he’s only ever done post-Watcher’s Crown.
(This might be a Jonlias fic, whoops.)
Elias, seeing The Archivist for the first time: 😍😍😍😍😍
Gertrude, seeing The Archivist for the first time: 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
So after introductions Jon is all, “Yes, I’m an eldritch monster that’s forced to feed off the trauma of others, but I’m your eldritch monster. Please, Gertrude, I’d like nothing more than to carve out Magnus’ heart with you so he can’t destroy the whole fucking world.”
Elias, suddenly experiencing true fear for the first time in decades, feeding the Eye and being fed in turn and basically entering a feedback loop where this powerful stranger threatening to murder him is the hottest thing he’s ever Seen: !!!!! 💖💞😱!!!!!🤩😊💚!!!!!
And at first Gertrude’s like hell no, not having any more goddamn avatars in my archives thank you, but then the trio passes young intern Sasha James (shhh don’t worry if that fits the timeline) and Jon looses it. The hold that the Stranger had on him in his original timeline has broken and he’s able to recognize this as the real Sasha - her face, her voice, her very panicked looks towards her bosses as this random man sobs into her shoulder. And Gertrude’s like dammit, clearly The Archivist still has some of his humanity left. No true Fear monster would ever willingly be that embarrassing.
After prying Jon away from Sasha and promising her a raise to avoid any HR reports, they get the whole long, traumatic story out of him, but any plans to just permanently kill Elias kinda... sputter out. It’s a little bit of a Web thing, a little bit of a time travel thing, and a little bit of Jon just feeling... wrong when he considers it, no matter what he’s told Gertrude. It’s similar to when he let Annabelle live, though Elias has done absolutely fuck-all to earn his mercy. This confuses Jon, though it’s pretty far down on his list of worries.
The good news is that Jon’s mere presence puts a permanent wrench in Elias’ plans. He’s never going to repeat the ritual to open the door, obviously, and good fucking luck marking another archivist while he’s Watching. Given Jon’s suspicions that he became semi-immortal after waking from his coma, he’ll be Watching a damn long time, you megalomaniacal bastard.
The bad news is that since Elias can no longer plot an intricate manipulation, he’s decided that the next best thing is to just convince Jon to bring about the end of the world willingly.
By wooing him.
Elias: “We can be Kings of a ruined world together, Jon~”
Gertrude: “I am not paid enough for this.”
So begins the office romance comedy of Jon’s nightmares, where instead of hating him for ruining his world domination plans, Elias is smitten - in a suave, very creepy kinda way - and has decided that he’ll simply wait Jon out, wearing him down until the inevitable day when he realizes that they were meant to be. A full-fledged Archivist was dropped into his lap, ranting about how he out-foxed a future version of Elias, tormented by his own monstrosity, and people expected his narcissistic ass to not fall head over heels with his own creation?? As if.
Jon is Not Having A Good Time.
Originally when he landed here he was all, “Where is my Martin whom I love so dearly? Where is the support and companionship that I crave?” But after ‘bumping into’ him a few times outside the Institute, Jon comes to the bitter conclusion that whatever connection they had is gone. He recalls Martin’s firm belief that they never would have become a couple without all the trauma they’d been through and though this time around Jon definitely doesn’t hate him... he doesn’t love him either. Oh, he loves that he exists, seeing Martin whole and blissfully ignorant of the Fears helps heal something in Jon, but it takes him a very long time to admit that he’s too nice. Too caring. Too tentative in his insecurity. Jon grinds his teeth and admits in the privacy of his own thoughts that he was attracted to a bastard version of Martin, one who showed off a little bit of his own monstrosity, was connected to his own domain, could cut just as cruelly with his words as Jon could with his powers... Meeting with him now over coffee, inches away, Jon has never felt farther from him. This Martin simply isn’t a part of the world that created Jon.
Good, he decides and firmly steers Martin away from the Institute. Thanks to some blackmail and Peter Lukas’s money, Martin finds himself with a caretaker for his mom and the promise of a full ride through whatever creative writing program he can get into.
Meanwhile, Elias is of course stalking and spying on Jon whenever he can, doing the metaphorical equivalent of doodling hearts in his notebook whenever he catches a glimpse of why Jon no longer connects with Martin. He’s a bastard avatar with shitty morals and, frankly, far better taste in poetry. Open your third eyes, Jon!!
Gertrude, who avoided sacrificing Michael after a stern talking to from Jon: “You sure you don’t want the Spiral to eat you, kid? Anything’s better than watching this clusterfuck.”
Michael: 🙃🙃🙃
After a while the Institute settles into a new kind of normal. Jon, Gertrude, and Michael defend the archives from the slew of enemies they’ve both amassed, stopping the occasional ritual in their free time. Jon has long come to the conclusion that the Fears couldn’t have originated here - not with the Eye being unable to see its own creation - so starving them in this reality at the expense of their world wouldn’t serve the greater good. The best they can do is continually contain them - which they’ve gotten real good at. Elias continues to bother Jon with a fervor that’s almost admirable (he can see how this guy managed plans for upwards of 200 years) and waffles between playing the Mysterious Boss archetype that he’d used on Jon the first time around, and just giving in to the utter adoration he feels whenever Jon is in the room. It’s clear he’s long since started worshiping Jon rather than the Eye and the Eye is... totally fine with that?
Gertrude: “How did you get the Ceaseless Watcher to treat you like a favored child?”
Jon: Trauma?? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
After seeing how much happier Martin is, Jon guides the rest of his former assistants away from the Institute, Sasha included. It helps, a little, but it also makes him even more isolated than he was the first time around.
Gertrude realizes this, so when Elias’ flirting - “I’ve found a fresh statement for you, Jon. Oh do stop glaring, it’s just a bit of chloroform. She’ll wake up soon. You can’t be satisfied with stale writings for forever” - starts inducing more fond annoyance than fear or horror, she becomes #Concerned.
Gertrude: “You realize that desensitizing you to his actions was the point all along, right?”
Jon: “Mmhm. But is it still manipulation if I know it’s manipulation?”
Gertrude: “You cannot possibly be considering this.”
Jon: “Would it help if I admitted that dating Elias wouldn’t be the worst decision I’ve ever made?”
Gertrude: “NO.”
The thing is, Jon liked Elias before he revealed himself to be an immortal body-snatcher hell-bent on creating... well, hell on Earth. He liked the soft academic exterior, his careful words, love of organization and attention to detail, the dry humor, cutting intellect, those suits that likely cost more than three months of his salary combined... In fact, Jon is now in a place to vividly remember the embarrassment he felt while interviewing for the archivist’s position, too busy avoiding looking at Elias’ lips to catch the hungry glint in his eye.
Of course, that Elias only exists as a veneer... though what was Jon’s “I’m just a normal man going grocery shopping, please ignore my scars and aborted grab as I resist demanding a statement from you” if not a veneer of its own? Where did their ‘real’ selves begin and their conscious choices end? The most awful thing about all this is that Elias is right. Oh, not about them being Kings of a ruined world, but about how no one but another avatar can truly understand an avatar. By this point Jon is years past his coma, fully at peace - or at least, as at peace as he’ll ever get - with the fact that he chose to live as a monster rather than die as a human. That means Knowing things at his leisure... though he tries not to catch anything private. It means Compelling others to provide him with more knowledge... though he’s careful with his questions around friends. It means Feeding off of others’ worst moments in life... though Jon restricts himself to statements that Gertrude has collected first, so that he never haunts anyone’s dreams. And it means spending the majority of his time with other monsters and monster-aligned allies... though Jon plants his feet firmly in his human morals and refuses to budge.
If he can navigate all that, why not this too?
Elias has said more than once that he would make Jon the worst version of himself - said with such glee and promise as to almost, almost sound like something Jon wants. Jon figures that the worst version of Elias, from his perspective, would be to look a bit more human.
“We can bring out the worst in each other,” he agrees one day, followed by a shark-like grin.
Elias hasn’t the faintest idea what he’s just gotten himself into.
And that feels wonderful. Manipulating him into being a marginally better person who doesn’t bring about the apocalypse might actually be more satisfying than stabbing him. The Elias of Jon's original timeline would have HATED this and that makes Jon do a happy little wiggle whenever he thinks about it.
Gertrude: “You’re leashing a fucking dragon, Sims.”
Jon: “Better than letting it roam free.”
Gertrude: “Just so long as he doesn’t chew through the reins.”
Jon: “Yeah well, I’ll be the first one burned if that happens” and he holds up his charred hand with a shrug.
So begins the most messed up courting ritual the world has ever seen. Do they work as a couple? Oddly enough, yes. Amazingly well, in fact. Is it a healthy relationship? LOL yeah right. But then that’s rather the point. Jon gave up on that the day he acknowledged that, yes, a part of him liked being the most powerful being roaming a hellish landscape - liked not being vulnerable for once. Back when he’d first joined the Institute, post-breakup with Georgie, Jon couldn’t even imagine someone liking him enough to grab a drink after work. He’s past pretending that having the cult-like devotion of a lover, the favor of a Fear god, and the grudging respect of everything else that goes bump in the night isn’t really fucking nice.
Sometimes Elias plays the part of a compassionate human for Jon, as a treat. Sometimes Jon let’s Elias bask in another’s terror, as a treat. Sometimes Jon is Jonathan Sims and sometimes he’s The Archivist. “Let’s rule a burned-out world together” becomes a staple request in their relationship, with Jon always giving Elias the equivalent of a pat on the head and a, “Sure, honey. Maybe next week.” They find something like balance that way.
Plus there’s Gertrude, perpetually in the shadows with an arsenal of weaponry and the promise to obliterate them both if they ever go too far. She reminds Jon of his grandmother when she threatens to fuck them up in the afterlife if they ever make her kill them.
Something, something, dysfunctional eldritch found families are beautiful?
Jon and Elias have achieved something akin to an uncanny, domestic bliss when Elias points out that this body won’t last forever...
Jon Does Not Like the idea of Elias kidnapping another innocent.
However...
Jon: “You know Jurgen Leitner is living in the Institute’s tunnels, right?”
And they lived ever after. The “happily” is highly subjective.
Bonus:
Post-apocalypse!Jon meeting with Original!Jon to warn him away from the Institute, painfully thin ever since his coma, hip-length hair streaked unnaturally white, a slew of scars covering every available bit of skin, the slightest green glow behind his eyes, somehow looking supremely confident and powerful while also embodying the most Awkward Academic you’ve ever seen: Hey.
Og!Jon: G-good lord!
Jon: It’s okay. You can say ‘fuck.’ Please say ‘fuck,’ Jon. We deserve it.

If she were going to be honest with herself, she'd say, quite plainly, that her life has no meaning or no value. There had been far too much that had happened recently that left her almost numb to any thoughts or feelings she might have or, alternatively, want to have. Most of her days were spent either sitting in bed, stuffing her face with an ungodly amount of food, or going to work and overworking herself to the point where she could barely stand up because of how physically and mentally exhausted she was.
Nothing about these habits was enjoyable in any sense of the word. She didn't like the feeling of being unproductive and unworthy of life. She wanted so desperately to get back into the swing of things. But alas, she couldn't do it even if she forced herself to.
That's why she needed someone else to force her. And that's what happened today. She was invited to a celebration being hosted in an event building at a local park. Her mom encouraged her to 'get out of the house', her friends told her that it would be best to 'stay in-tune with reality', and her boyfriend's friend, a young man named Jungkook, practically begged her to go. Honestly, the first two encouragements weren't enough to get her to go to the event. It was Jungkook's pleading, with his big doe eyes welled with tears and face filled with worry - worry for her wellbeing - that convinced her that she should do something rather than rot in bed.
So here she was, outside of the private event building, watching people walk in before her. She was quite afraid to take a step inside the door because of the judgment she was anticipating. As soon as she was in sight of everyone within the room, she would receive stares, people would whisper, and she would be treated as if she were fragile and deserving of pity. She didn't want that. She just wanted to attend the celebration, make Jungkook happy, and leave.
With a deep sigh, she closed her eyes for a moment and tried to clear her mind of any anxiety she felt in that moment. Her first time being seen by other people in months was something that terrified her, but she wasn't going to let it get to her. She had already let a million other things get to her. Maybe her mom was right. Maybe she did need to get out of the house. Go back to normal life.
As soon as she stepped into the building, she admired how beautifully it was decorated. Pink decorations everywhere, with flowers and music and the sweet scent of roses and candy. It was truly incredible to see how well-put-together the celebration was. She was in awe.
She continued to look around in an attempt to spot people she recognized. She already saw Jungkook on the opposite side of the building with a few of his other friends, however he hadn't seen her yet. She also spotted her boyfriend's parents, standing and talking to other older adults with solemn looks on their faces. And finally, upon scanning the room a little more, she spotted her boyfriend himself. Kim Seokjin, the love of her life.
He looked beautiful. His face, so soft and full of life, sat there smiling back at her. The slight glow to him made him look unreal, as if he had been an angel who landed on earth just for her. Looking at him made her heart completely stop, as it always did, and her brain went fuzzy. Something about him always made her act like a complete fool and she was never able to behave normally around him. She was completely, entirely, 100% head over heels for this man and she always would be.
They say that when you die, the best moments of your life replay in your final seven minutes. And while she wasn't quite dead, looking at her Seokjin started those seven beautiful minutes.

Tousling her hair a little bit to give it last-minute volume, she heard the honk of a car horn outside of her home. In an enamored frenzy, she smiled widely and started spritzing on her perfume like a maniac before quickly looking in the mirror one last time. She didn't wear dresses all too often, so felt a bit overdressed, but she knew it was for good reason. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door, only to see her gorgeous boyfriend leaning against his car.
Now that she was seeing him in all his glory, she changed her mind. She now felt rather underdressed. Seokjin had his hair beautifully slicked back and was dressed in a stunning tuxedo, holding a bouquet of pink roses. His face, sheen and sparkly, lit up upon seeing her, and his plump lips curled into the softest of smiles.
"You look beautiful," he complimented as she approached him, offering her the roses. "I mean, you're always beautiful, but... wow." A bright red crept to her cheeks as she took the roses and planted a soft kiss upon his cheek. "So do you, Jinnie." His smile now growing much bigger, he gave her a gentle nod and turned to open her car door. As soon as she got in and situated, he closed the door and returned to his side, promptly getting in.
"I have dinner reservations for us, and then I thought we could see where the night takes us. I know neither of us really like being spontaneous, but I didn't really have any other plans," Jin admits sheepishly. "But I figured neither of us would mind as long as we were spending time together, right? Being next to you is enough for me."
"Sounds wonderful," She responded, placing a gentle hand on his knee. She didn't listen to a damn word he said, far too hypnotized by his beauty, but she'd do anything he wanted if it meant being with him.

“Don’t worry dear, they’ll love you.”
She felt her boyfriend leave a soft kiss on her temple before looking up at him with wide and nervous eyes. She hadn’t said anything since they got out of the car and approached the apartment complex, yet he could easily read her mind without any words being exchanged. Today she was meeting Jin’s best friends and she couldn’t be any more terrified.
She had heard a lot about them. Seokjin never stopped talking about them, in fact. He loved bragging about his friend group and the fun things they’d do, and it almost made her a little jealous because the truth was that she didn’t have a friend group that was even half as close as it seemed like these seven boys were.
“What if they don’t?” The words barely escaped her lips as her bottom one trembled in upset. She wanted to be strong for her boyfriend, she really did, but she was far too anxious about this. He let out a soft hum and reached out to press the stop button on the elevator before turning to her and grabbing her hands.
“Do you trust me?”
She stared into his eyes. His big, beautiful eyes. The eyes that would never tell a lie, and would never lead her astray. She knew she was in good hands, she truly did, but something about the situation made her uneasy. Perhaps it was just the fact that she was meeting so many people at once. Not just people, it seemed like they were a rather rowdy group of boys.
“…Yeah.”
Jin smiled gently as he reached in to place a kiss on her lips and restart the elevator at the same time. “Then you’ll be fine. I promise.”
And just as Jin had promised, she found herself engulfed in dozens of hugs by these six other boys. Not only that, but she felt as if she had been a part of their friend group, their little chaotic family, since the very beginning.

October 23rd, 2022
"Are you awake yet, beautiful?"
Still half asleep, she stirred in bed, eyes opening to see a blurry Seokjin standing in the doorway of their shared bedroom. He was holding something rather large in both hands, however she wasn't yet awake enough to figure out what it was.
Letting out a soft groan, she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. Now that she was able to get a clear view of her gorgeous boy, still in his pajamas but otherwise ready for the day, she saw that he was holding a tray of food. It took her a second to realize that he was delivering her breakfast in bed, but once she realized, a huge grin appeared on her face.
"I am now..." She trailed off, marveling over the food that her lover was now placing in front of her as he crawled onto the bed next to her.
"I couldn't sleep any longer, so I decided to make you some food. I also cut up those strawberries we had in the fridge that we kinda forgot about." He grabbed one and looked at it. "I promise they're still good. I checked each one." Letting a soft giggle out, she looked over at Jin with lidded eyes. "Thank you, baby." She said as he offered her the strawberry in his hand which she accepted graciously.
The rest of their breakfast in bed date was comprised of Jin doing most of the talking while he fed her the different foods he had set up on the tray, insisting that he didn't want her to have to lift a finger and just wanted her to enjoy some good food. From time to time, he got a little too passionate about whatever topic he was speaking about and almost nearly missed her mouth completely, resulting in a few times where he had to wipe around her lips with a napkin and her teasing him until he shut her up with a kiss.
"You know," She said, taking a pause to swallow the food in her mouth. "I absolutely adore you."
"Glad to know the feeling's mutual," Seokjin smiled softly as he fed her the next bite.

Present
“I’m glad you made it,” Her attention was drawn from the picture of her boyfriend to the voice coming from next to her, none other than Jungkook. “It would’ve hurt if you didn’t come.”
She sighed, looking over at her friend with sad eyes. “I didn’t want to if I’m honest. But I knew that if anyone had to be here it had to be me.”
Jungkook wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they stood in silence for what seemed like forever. Part of her wanted to break down sobbing in order to release the emotion she’s been holding on to for so long. But the other part of her, the bigger part, enjoyed the silence and enjoyed spending it with one of her boyfriend’s best friends.
“You know he loved you, right? More than anything in this world,” Jungkook looked at her briefly before looking back at the framed picture of Jin. “You were his everything. There wasn’t a single conversation we had that didn’t involve you in some way. Nothing else mattered to him but you.”
She knew that what Jungkook was saying was true, even if she didn’t want to physically admit it. Obviously they never spoke about funeral plans because they never saw either one of them dying so soon, but she knew that if Seokjin wanted a celebration of life she was the only one he’d ever want there. No one else mattered except for her. The world could have been engulfed in flames but he would’ve been as happy as can be if she was happy too. He would’ve moved mountains for her, walked across a desert with no water for her, killed for her. And the truth is that she would have done the same for him.
Life without Jin wasn’t going to be an easy one. But coming to the celebration of life, seeing his picture, and spending a moment with one of his closest friends made her realize that if she truly loved him, she would do what he would’ve wanted and keep living. For him. Her dearest angel Jin.

Happiest of birthdays to the one and only Crow! I won’t be tagging them since they’re currently on hiatus but this was a great excuse to finally do a (much) belated reclist. Crow has been on my radar since I first read The Other Cottage - I was immediately taken aback by its intriguing atmosphere, original plot and the mindblowing ending that had me gasping in delight. You can bet I did my due diligence and quickly devoured everything else from their catalogue, which was how I realized I had found another incredibly talented, another favorite author to hold close to my heart.
Crow explores the themes that fascinate me the most - life, time and mortality - and even their dark fics (a genre I don’t normally indulge) feel so thought-provoking and cathartic. There’s no best feeling that knowing you can trust that one author to tick all your boxes with every fic, no matter the story, trope or ending they go for. Crow has written a little bit of everything (and I tried my best to include different flavours here) but I’m not gonna lie, their poignant and aching angst is my ultimate jam. Some of these fics changed me in deep and lasting ways, and I’ve talked extensively about one or two of them. It was so hard to keep this short and not highlight all of Crow’s 27 works, but here are my top 10 favorites. As always this is a 100% personal rec list but there’s a bit of everything here so I hope everyone can find their thing and enjoy these just as much as I did. Don’t forget to leave them kudos and comments to celebrate Crow’s day!!
♦️ Magpie (E, 4k) - klepto Harry with a dark edge is everything we didn’t know we needed! Such a brutal - and brilliant - fic, I was completely enraptured by his charming characterization and the ending left me breathless
Potter doesn't steal because he needs anything, Draco quickly learns. He doesn't do it because it makes him feel anything. It isn't about power, and it isn't about control. Potter just does it because he can.
🥘 Mise en Place (T, 5.4k) - a tender and tasty treat, with lots of kitchen flirting and food porn. I live for sweet pining!Harry and their mutual obliviousness, it never gets old. Short and sweet as all good things are!
Draco needs to learn how to cook, and luckily, Harry knows his way around a kitchen. The fact that Draco is using his newfound cooking skills to impress another man... Well, Harry just tries not to think about that too much.
🔪 The Thousand Deaths (E, 6k) - yes yes yes suicidal vampire murder husbands bound to live eternally!!!! This is a genius concept that once again blows my mind, I love the dark humor and overall depressing tone, it’s so uniquely cathartic. Every murder husbands fan has to go read this now!
When the Kedavras don’t work, they try wooden stakes. When the stakes don’t work, they try blades. When the blades don’t work, the truth spills between them like the vast, churning ocean — eternity, inescapable.
🪞 The Other Cottage (T, 6.5k) - here’s your spooky treat for the day, this fic is so creepy and clever and atmospheric it will immediately lure you in. This is unlike anything I’ve read so far. Masterful pacing and a delicious pining Draco spiralling towards a breathtaking ending!
If Pansy wasn’t shagging Ginny Weasley, Draco would never have been dragged to Luna’s ridiculous Halloween party in the first place - meaning he wouldn't be sitting in the corner of the room with Harry Potter all night.
🌌 An Emerald In The Sky (M, 6.6k) - an all-time fave of mine, my whole heart belongs to this time travel masterpiece, achingly bittersweet and heart-wrenching. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Harry through Draco’s POV, it’s impossible to stop thinking about this love story once you’ve read it.
The hardest part about shagging an Unspeakable is that they’re not allowed to speak of anything. All Draco knows is that Harry works in Time. Harry works in Time, and while he’s out there in all of that time, it is as unforgiving to him as it is to anyone.
📱 With Hands Full of Dusk (E, 15k) - it’s a crime that this story is so low on kudos and comments but I hope this ends now because wow, I’ve never read something so quietly atmospheric like this. Intriguing plot and brilliant execution exploring the fascinating combo of mystery, excitement, frustration and loneliness surrounding a researcher’s life. Also: phone sex my beloved!!!!!!
Harry thought he'd found what he was searching for after the war. But as the quiet life he's earned begins to unravel at the seams, he finds himself searching instead for an elusive, mythical creature found only in lore and legend - with none other than Draco Malfoy as his companion.
🪢 The Seventh Life (E, 18k) - vampire Draco and mortal Harry as doomed lovers across lifetimes yes please!!! Is there anything more romantic - or devastating?? Another tender, haunting and bittersweet love story that left me in shambles and I thanked Crow for it. I am obsessed with this plot and the feels it gave me ugh how can I go on with my life now
If Draco had looked the other way, he may never have seen him again. But Draco turned, because he always would have turned. He found him, because he always would have found him - in life, in death, or in Paris.
🐍 In The Company Of Serpents (E, 25k) - love myself an intriguing case fic and this one is so creative and engaging! Fabulous setting, hot Parselmouth Harry and a brilliant take on Astoria, one of my favourites in fact. I adore the tentative Drarry dynamics and that bedroom sex scene is absolutely phenomenal, oof big smut rec here guys 🔥
There’s something wrong with the serpents at the Greengrass Ophidiarium. Luckily, a certain Parselmouth just might be able to help.
✉️ Twelve Moons (T, 27k) - cottagecore Drarry for skin cleansing, this soft slow burn mended my heart and it’s a great pick when you’re in need of comfort fics. It was a delight to follow this in real time too, v creative storytelling!
Harry Potter lives a quiet life, running an inn with his two best friends. Once a month, Draco Malfoy comes to stay. A real-time fic that takes place over the course of a year; updates every full moon.
🪴 Buds, Blooms, and Beards (E, 27k) - sex education fics are my jam, especially if it’s an experienced and sexy Draco guiding Harry through his bi discovery, yum! You’d think this is all about smut but it’s actually a gentle and comforting story about trust and friendship, one of the best portrayals of Harry & Ginny as friends and confidants, and a delightful “coming out” slow burn!
Harry and Ginny have built an easy, happy life for themselves after the war. They run a thriving plant shop together, they have a great relationship, and they're definitely not gay.

1st of all, need to say, adored Dove on the Roof and I'm sending you the longest review once I can after work, this is a threat 🔪 2nd of all–if you've thought of it and you wanna share the tidbit–I loved how after sharing Horizons name and Y/N admitted they only used his gadgets, Moon said he was gonna tell Eclipse abt it, Re:
“I’m going to tell him you said that. It’ll be terrible, because he’ll get even smugger, but it’s too good not to.”
and like. Luce. If you wanna share. I'd love to know how Eclipse reacted to that. Bc yes he'll be so smug abt it i just know it, but i also think he'd be really touched that like, his brothers' partner feels that strongly abt the stuff he makes? Struggling to stay coherent bc English is not my first language, but I just gosh. i loved it. going bonkers. hitting u w that long review later. get ready. -Soldrope ☀️💧
New morning new braincells, let's go!
I have devoured your comment(s) and I have been so so normal about the amount of thought and analysis and how many things you've caught that I tried to write in! I'm so so happy that it all came across and I literally cried reading your comments already gfdhjs now I only hope I soon get the spoons to go through my ao3 inbox and reply to the comments I've amassed
As for Moon telling Eclipse? It didn't happen in that window between Moon date fade-out and Sun date, because Moon was too busy cuddling and being a lovebird (he finally gets to be a bird too! <3), though it'll happen after the Foxy conversation after Sun's date.
That conversation will be addressed in a proper drabble/ chapter (they've been getting longer, so by now drabble feels no longer appropriate gfhdjs), so since I haven't written that yet this might not quite fit with how things turn out, but it'll be a fun thought until then!
Because after all that, and not charging the night before due to cuddle priorities (and they haven't quite yet reached the stage of a permanently installed charging cable at Y/N's side of the duplex) (it's definitely a thought though, because lugging around their cable for sleepovers has a bit of a hassle), Moon will excuse himself for a quick charge before work, and handle a little special phone call <3
(Eclipse will be smug enough. Moon doesn't need to make the gloating even easier by providing something to screenshot)
Eclipse, on the other hand, is positively surprised and doing his best not to be weirded out by a spontaneous phone call from his brother. That just didn't happen before! He's still getting used to the closer contact, too, and his first thought won't be a good one. Maybe another emergency? At least this time he'll hear about it sooner?
Well, only for Moon to pull the rug from under him completely.
"What do you mean, you haven't talked about me before?"
"I mean, we were trying to flirt, which already kept misfiring. Adding complicated family history that paints a rather ugly picture of us when they never asked wasn't really... Something that came up."
A sigh, and Eclipse does his best to cover up the lingering hurt. He knows their relationship was rocky at best, and he wasn't exactly eager to talk about them to other people either.
(It helps a little, knowing that part of it was guilt - he wasn't forgotten, instead his brothers felt too bad to casually bring him up. But he also doesn't like being a guilty secret either. In the end, he pushes it away to unpack later, and focus on the conversation at hand)
"How did it 'come up' then?"
Silence from the other end, as Moon quickly decides that no, he's not going to explain that he made his own first date emotionally charged in the heavy way to finally talk about his brother, much less the exact conversation that sparked it.
Eclipse never asked for their favorite colors, either.
"No, no, look, that's not the important bit. They went off on me for not telling them."
"Makes sense."
"Because they're a fan of your work."
"Makes s- huh?"
"They like your designs. They exclusively buy their own gadgets, except for when one of yours gets distributed. They said, and I quote, 'That Horizon?'"
Again, silence, as Eclipse processes that. That's so far from what he expected, or even figured would ever be in store for him. He knows his work is good, the agency doesn't really entertain slackers and subpar work, not for leading researchers - but that doesn't mean he feels appreciated. The people he works with are more neutral to annoyed by his antics, and the actual results he produces seemingly fade into the background.
So hearing there's someone out there who, dare he say it, is a fan?
He already thought Y/N/ Robin is nice enough from just the stories Sun and Moon shared before, but this? Now, within seconds, he's decided he has to meet them and become friends.
Hopefully they'll still like him once they've met him.
By now, he's been silent for a while.
"... Eclipse?"
The anxiety gets pushed away yet again, and instead Eclipse starts laughing. Softly, first, but then it turns into a full blown cackle.
Moon just sighs.
"Here we go."
"Since when? How long have they liked my stuff?"
"I didn't ask, that wasn't exactly the focus of the conversation."
"You can ask right now though! Ask them!"
"They're at work!"
"Send them a text then! You'll say you forgot if you don't do it now!"
"I wouldn't forget!"
"Yeah, but you'd say that!"
They squabble a bit, and it feels nice - just your normal, comfortable sibling banter, something they didn't get to share for the longest time. Both draw it out, just a bit, to enjoy it more.
Moon does send the text, but only after making a production out of "not wanting to". Eclipse laughs some more, that smug snicker of a younger sibling winning out over the older one.
And then he thinks of something else, too.
"Oh, oh, have you told them about that drone I've been trying to get approved?"
"No, I haven't, tell them yourself. Did that still not go through? You mentioned that weeks ago, they're really dragging their feet."
"They say it's a fire hazard, and I keep trying to explain that that's the reason why I need them to approve the more expensive fireproof material. Somehow they don't seem to understand that."
The conversation drifts towards other topics, then, but Eclipse is very much soaring from the start of it. That little "tell them yourself" is enough to reassure him on so many levels - this isn't an exception, this is going to be normal, his brothers want him to meet their partner, want to introduce them and give him a chance to talk to them himself.
The anxiety is still there, and a bit of it we see in Duck Duck Goose - he needs them to like him, needs things to go well, and to leave a good impression. He's more than just his work, and unfortunately he's afraid that they won't like the person behind the codename, and that confidence boost of them liking his work doesn't quite shine through.
They'll get there! It'll just take a bit of work, and time, but they're all very willing to put that effort in <3

Dear Defective Hero,
Tis I the ominous crab. It’s my birthday tomorrow. May I have a silly villain and a serious hero? I think it would be nice to see villain just screwing around and seeing hero being annoyed.
Thanks,
🦀🔪
happy birthday!!! and of course you can! this is a bit short, but i wanted to make sure i posted it on the correct day for you. :)
“Gods, I’m so sick of this shit,” the hero announces as they enter the room, throwing their coat over to the coat rack and flopping down on a chair. They hear the telltale sound of their jacket falling to the ground, evidently slipping from the hook. This minor inconvenience only serves to anger them further, of course. 
Their sidekick, Javier, laughs at their pain. There’s a hint of sympathy in the smile that takes over his face, but it fades within a few moments and morphs into mild amusement. The hero lets out another irritated groan and Javier finally acknowledges them, albeit with a look of disinterest and disgruntlement. “What’d Nightmare do this time?”
Nightmare, the hero scoffs internally. The title perfectly fits the villain. They’re an entire nightmare of a nemesis, a nightmare to interact with. Even the mention of their enemy’s name makes their fists clench and their lips pull tight in a thin line.
They don’t realize that Javier is still waiting for a response until they hear a pointed cough. The hero sighs. “They’re threatening to destroy Nathan’s. You know- the place we go to for dinner on Friday’s? I don’t understand. That doesn’t even.. Why would that benefit them?”
Javier stares at them in evident disbelief, eyes wide and lips parted slightly. The hero sits up more and glares at him expectantly, waiting for him to explain himself. “Have you ever wondered why Nightmare annoys you so much?” Somehow, his statement doesn’t clear anything up in the slightest. 
“Honestly, I think it’s just because they exist,” the hero responds, tapping their chin in thought. The more they think about it, the more they begin to realize that the villain just always annoys them. “The mere thought of their existence irritates me.”
“Okay, wow,” Javier sighs deeply, clearly not expecting their answer. The hero shrugs. He asked for the truth, after all. “That’s not exactly what I meant. Why do you think Nightmare goes out of their way to annoy you?”
The hero feels as if their sidekick already knows the answer to the question, judging from the knowing look on his face. They stop for a moment. It feels like a trick question. They try their best to think of an answer, but they can’t come up with anything. Ultimately, Javier must get tired of waiting, because he breaks the silence. 
“They want your attention,” their sidekick says, crossing one leg over the other and leveling them with a rather intense look. The hero’s heart races in their chest. No, surely that’s not the reason the villain is doing all these foolish things. Javier continues, oblivious to their internal breakdown. “Normally, you never give them the time of day. So, the villain instead resorts to doing things that irritate and frustrate you, because that’s the only time you pay them any mind.”
“That makes absolutely no sense,” the hero groans, throwing their hands up in the air in a brief fit of childish frustration. They shake their head and walk back towards the door. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to stop Nightmare from destroying the only fucking restaurant in this city that I can actually tolerate!” They don’t bother to wait to hear their sidekick’s argument, instead stepping out into the hall and closing the door behind them. They have a restaurant to save. 
Meanwhile, Javier watches the hero leave and shakes his head in disbelief. How the hero hasn’t worked it out yet, he has no idea.

endnotes below!
the hero: I just don't understand. Why do they keep doing this?! Javier, their sidekick, sighing to himself: I need a drink for this conversation.
the hero is completely oblivious lmao.
anyway, thanks for reading!

🔪 - Do they have a preferred weapon or means of killing? Or will they just use anything?
❔- Is there any specific reason why your OC became a murderer/slasher? Is there a trigger for their killings?
⏱️ - Do they prefer a specific time? Day or night?
🩸 - Do they tend to get bloody/messy or stay clean? Are they squeamish or do they enjoy gore?

Is it too soon to ask for a SFW Alphabet of Aster? 👉👈
-🔪 anon
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Aster is incredibly affectionate! He usually shows it through acts of service- doing things for you so you can relax! Praise works too- he thinks you're so wonderful, after all, he just has to praise you! Though if you'd allow it, he wouldn't be opposed to being constantly cuddled up to you, hugging you... h-h-holding your hand... 😳
When he feels the time is right, he'll even give you a special gift!
B = Best Friend (what would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder... maybe if things were different when you first met he would be content with being just a friend? Who's to say. :)
As a best friend, he's still quite... dependent on you as his first and only friend, but it's overall a healthier relationship. He's less prone to getting flustered and more likely to approach you if he wants to see you, tends to be more blunt, and is less of a pushover than he would be normally. He still likes to do things for you, though, and is always willing to lend an ear if you need it.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Aster adores cuddling! His favorite cuddle position is the sweetheart's cradle. It has everything! He gets to touch you, he gets to look at your face when you're actually aware of his presence, and he gets to feel like he's protecting you! Only problem is... he's too shy to initiate.
He isn't the biggest fan of spooning, though he wouldn't oppose if that's what you wanted. If given the choice, he'll ask to be the big spoon- though sometimes what he really needs is to be the little spoon and to feel like you really want him.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
The thought of settling down with you... it makes him so happy! However... he has no experience with cooking or cleaning. Given the chance to learn, however, he would eventually excel at both; for you, he's more than eager to become the perfect househusband!
E = Ending (If they had to break with their partner, how would they do it?)
There are very few reasons why Aster would ever break up with you, but if he had to...
He'd appear before you in his... 'business attire', for lack of a better word. With is eyes clenched tightly, he silently kneels at your feet- even if this was his own choice, it still hurts like nothing else. After a few beats of your heart, he wills his hands to stop shaking and looks up at your face.
He takes a deep breath...
"M-my Eden... I... I have something to tell you..."
"I-I... w-we... can't b-be together... anymore..."
"I..."
A strange liquid begins running down his face, almost shimmering in the artificial lighting of your home.
"I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry..."
F = Fiancé(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Do you even need to ask? Aster is fully committed to you, and considers this commitment to be his top priority. A completely selfless love where the only thing he needs in return is for you to be safe... or so he says.
And he would love to get married! If it was what you wanted, he would be willing to marry you on day one! Although if it were up to him he'd want to wait about a month, at least. Just to make absolutely sure that you're sure! And to... emotionally prepare himself...
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
With you? Completely and utterly. He'd never do anything to cause you pain, unless there really was no other way. His touch is comparable to his own feathers- light and airy and so, so soft.
Emotionally, he's much the same. Aster is soft-spoken by nature, but with you he makes extra effort to never raise his voice more than you might need him to. He never, ever wants to be the reason you're upset or uncomfortable.
With other people, though, he's a bit... different.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Aster usually isn't much if a hugger. He's much too reserved, and hugs tend to be... well, a very social thing. So he initiates hugs very rarely. Though if you ask him for a hug, he's more than happy to give you one! They're very gentle and comfortable, and you'll feel safer than you've ever felt while in his arms...
If you hug him, though, there's a 50/50 chance he may pass out from pure delight. The other 50 percent is him getting flustered speechless.
I = I Love You (How fast do they say the L-word?)
He holds off on using the L-word for as long as he thinks is necessary; he's always watching you and reading your expressions, determined not to say or do anything that would make you upset. So he doesn't say it until it seems like you'd be receptive... or until he's desperate.
There is a point where everyone breaks, after all.
He loves you so, so much. ♡
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when their jealous?)
Aster doesn't get jealous very often... rather, he's usually too busy worrying about your safety. He only ever has time to be jealous when he can be sure that you're not in any danger.
As such, he's only ever jealous of your friends.
And it's not your fault! Not at all. You don't owe him anything. You don't owe him attention, or affection, or touch- you owe him nothing. But that's exactly why it hurts to see you being close with others. Because you don't owe them anything, either.
When his Eden is affectionate with others and puts him to the side... his heart hurts, and he can't help the bitterness that builds up inside of him. His jealousy can build up for a long time... but when it reaches a certain point, he remembers more clearly what it was like before meeting you. And he's prone to... undermining the competition.
When a day comes that your friends are unable to meet up with you, he'll be there for you instead. He really missed you, you know... so much. Maybe... you could hang out with him instead today? Please?
Please please please please please-
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Aster has no relationship experience, and that includes kissing. So, at first, he's not very good at it. His lips are barely there, and he has no idea if he's supposed to move or sit still or what. He learns after a while, though, and his kisses turn out to be just as gentle as the rest of him. There's always a hint of something behind that, though... Fear? Desperation? Addiction?
He also likes to hold your hand during kisses. It makes the whole thing feel more real. :)
If he has to pick, he enjoys kissing you on the lips and forehead in most cases, and your wrists when he's feeling particularly worshipful. He also likes to kiss you in places that you might be insecure about- with your permission, of course.
For him, he likes to be kissed on the lips, cheek, neck, and shoulders. Those last two just... feel very intimate. If he starts crying after you kiss him, rest assured that they're happy tears.
L = Little Ones (How are they around children, how do they feel about having kids, etc)
He doesn't know if he's capable of having children, but he likes them well enough. They're cute and bring some color into the world, but he can only handle them for so long before they start to get a bit overwhelming.
In the event he was capable of reproduction, he's not sure how he feels about it. He wouldn't complain if you wanted to try but overall he'd rather it was just you and him, at least for now... on top of that, he's more dispositioned towards adoption in the event you wanted kids anyway.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Every morning you wake up to Aster staring at you. Without fail.
He doesn't need to sleep, but when he does he falls victim to the same effects that a human might. That is to say, Aster is not a morning person. Not in the sense that he's grumpy in the mornings, just that he's bad at waking up.
His eyes are bleary, his hair is a mess, and his voice is nothing more than a murmur. He's more forward this way, with his restraint only as awake as he is.
This is the only time you'll ever see his hair unkempt, take a picture and savor it-
He'll cling and cuddle onto you, mumbling something or other about how comfortable it is to be here with you...
Once you've gotten him awake, he'll turn beet red and apologize profusely before bolting out of the room, disappearing into your kitchen to make you breakfast.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
No matter how much time passes, Aster will always be so, so thankful if you let him share a bed with you. Not to mention flustered-
As mentioned previously, he doesn't need to sleep. Nine times out of ten, he prefers to stay awake and keep watch. Whether it be keeping watch for danger or watching you sleep is up to your imagination.
When he does lay down to sleep, though, he simply closes his eyes to allow himself to bask in your presence. It takes some effort to turn of his... hyper vigilance, for lack of a better word.
But when Aster is finally relaxed, you can see the tenseness fall from his shoulders as he falls asleep nigh instantly.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Ask and you shall be answered!
Aster will share anything about himself with you- anything. Barring anything that might cause you trouble, of course.
If left to his own devices, it would take a while before he told you anything, if he ever does, simply because he doesn't think it's all that important. It's up to you when and how much he reveals about himself.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Aster is the definition of patience when it comes to his Eden.
In the event he's fallen for you, he is quite literally incapable of being angry at you. No matter what you do, he'll find a way to justify it.
His Eden is always in the right.
For other people, his annoyances wrack up much more quickly. They're loud and obnoxious and they bother you, so of course he doesn't like them!
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He remembers every single thing. From big, important events like your birthday, to your favorite food, your favorite color, or even something obscure like your favorite fabric type.
Taking him on a shopping trip is an interesting experience because you look at some little trinket, turn around to find him gone, and then he pops up next to you moments later with whatever it is you were looking at. It's interesting because he doesn't have any money last you checked.
He'll be your personal reminder, if you need one! Just tell him what needs to be done and he'll be sure to tell you again once the time comes.
He's not as great with things that aren't related to you, though... no shame if he forgets a friends' birthday, alright?
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Aster's favorite moment in your relationship... Ahhh, there's just too many to choose from!
The confession, your first date, every date after that, when you first praised him for his cooking...
Every moment with you is pure bliss!
Though if he really, really had to pick just one... it would be when the two of you visited the local botanical garden. It was just the two of you, all alone, and it was so beautiful... halfway through there was a rain shower, so he shielded you from the rain with his wings. The two of you ended up huddling under an awning.
He got to pick a flower petal out of your hair after that. He still has it.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Aster lives to protect you. It's the only reason he breaths, the only reason he exists. It's all to protect you.
He's well aware of his fragile appearance. All the better- it makes people underestimate him, after all. He has quite a few tricks up his sleeve...
Or, for a more direct approach: Sword.
He knows how to use a sword.
Nobody will be coming near you without your permission. Ever. You can rest assured of that.
In the event you protected him, instead, he would be both guilty and greatly touched.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, and everyday tasks?)
There's never a moment where Aster isn't trying his best for you. If anything, he only works even harder for... special festivities.
He has notebooks upon notebooks filled with plans for outings, almost all of which have been scratched our and rewritten or added to.
Anniversaries receive the same treatment to the nth degree.
He has perfectly memorized all of your likes, dislikes, and favorites- if ever he gives you a present that you don't absolutely adore, he's done something horribly wrong as far as he's concerned.
Aster, when it comes to everyday task, will do anything you tell him to... and also things you don't.
He wants to make you happy and help you relax, so it's important that he does everything quickly and efficiently!
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Unsurprisingly, Aster has a tendency of bottling up his feelings. He wants to be good for you, and that means never letting you see him angry. Ever.
He also has a habit of biting at his fingernails when he's anxious, but only when you're not around; if he does do it when you're around, then you can be sure the thing he's worrying about is you.
Does his lack of partaking in self-care count as a bad habit when he doesn't actually need it? Sure, he doesn't eat or sleep much, but it's not like his body actually requires it...
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Only insofar as he wants to look nice for you.
He would be willing to let up on it if you expressed a disinterest in his looks or even told him you'd like to see him looking less proper.
But generally, Aster believes that he should look nice so that you think he looks nice.
His Eden's opinion goes above all else, after all.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Absolutely.
X = Xtra (A random headcannon for them)
Aster really likes to watch you.
He really likes to watch you.
If it were up to him, he would never take his numerous eyes off you.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
If you're a person with prejudice, he wouldn't like you. Whether it be racism, ableism, homophobia, what have you.
He loathes people who hate others for things that don't even hurt them. That don't even effect them.
Also predators, of children or otherwise.
On a significantly lighter note, he's not a fan of people who use the silent treatment as a punishment. His Eden is a mysterious exception to this rule.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
He clings to you in his sleep. Wraps his limbs around you and cuddles you as close as possible.
Apart from that, he stays completely still in his sleep. If you make him sleep apart from you, he won't move at all during the night.
Aster is also a very light sleeper- he has to be if he wants to insure you're safety. If you move or he hears anything, he's wide awake in an instant and ready to stand by your side until he's sure any danger has passed.

M'gonna... stab u... very... very affectionately 🥺🔪🧡
Soft Bakugou is such a huge weakness of mine- it's only fair that you're the one thing his knees will gladly buckle for
Something abt... him trusting you enough to let his guard down. He finds out that it's possible for somebody like him to harbour a secret soft side that even he didn't know about
Stab me all you’d like lovely :3. We can cuddle n have hot cocoa after >:3 💗💗💗.
No but you’re so right soft bakugou is so yummy. The greatest of delicacies. Crème de la crème, if you will.
Trust is just so paramount to him as a person despite how closed off he knows himself to be. A-And to imagine being able to see the fruits of taking so much time to build that with him at his pace???? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
PLSSSSSSS IT MAKES ME WAAAIIILLLL.
Even after he learns he can put his trust in you for the first time, at his most vulnerable, it still takes him so incredibly long to acknowledge it happened and to allow you to witness it again. The journey the point of it being normal and most importantly okay with him (still exclusively when with you) is painstaking. But it’s oh so worth it to see him truly let himself feel after so so many years of bottling everything up :(((( 💜💜💜.
I like to think he very much always knew about his soft side, but he forced it down, crushed it to smithereens because he always felt he had to perform, like he couldn’t simultaneously be successful and true to himself deep inside. He let it show in the most minuscule of ways during UA, but after that time period just completely allowed the ability to show that to rot away. Too focused on becoming number one through sheer will and skill.
I’ve always thought his superiority complex arises from an inferiority complex hiding underneath :c 💔 (my baby 🥺).
Ugh but the moment he truly begins to understand that he can still be loved and respected and understood and won’t be judged for showing his weakness with us is such a momentous thing it literally changes the way he views life a lil bit. He starts allowing himself to soften when with his peers (though nowhere near the extent to when you have him under you a tear stained hiccuping mess 😩😩😩). Any time you touch him, even when he is currently being the dominant partner in a spicy situation, you feel the way he wanes a little, letting you know he’s ready to be your little crybaby at any given moment should you choose to turn things around 🫶🏾.

the reason why Im not a fan of my boys working or seen with women is because of this type of ARMYs who like to make it some romantic interaction like CANT YOU ACT NORMAL?
even before the news comes out, there are some army who make the whole fucking thread that indicate they're match together, the vibes and all. I get it, but then it leads to, offfs i want them to be together, they looks so good together. and then boom, another type of ARMY who seen this and goes to that women instagram and left all the bad comments. GOSH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING. and they lose focus on our BOYS because they are busy to stalk, made a video, get their name trending, editing some photos to match the vibes and all.
you guys can't be NORMAL for once. can you chill tf out for a bit? go streams and hype our Boys. that's all. Thankyou.
my boys can do whatever they like you know? you army who make it hard. let them be. we here to support them okay? apobangpo 💜
i want to say this a long time a go actually it makes me sick because all twitter and tiktok are full of this. ughhh. but seeing you open to talk about it then yeah here.
I’m sooo exicted for SEVEN tho 💜💃🏻
I’m not hating on anyone okay. to army, you need to be normal for once. don’t over reacting. and lets just wait for them 💜
please no hard feelings okay 🥹💜🫶🏻
no yeah a lot of people’s reactions are so 😂 most of the time. exactly like you said, some people tend to immediately turn toward hate, going on their social media to say WEIRD things. and on the other side of the spectrum, you have people who are already making their wedding invitations. this morning i was watching youtube shorts (yes i am that person who doesn’t have tiktok but would indulge in a couple hrs of insta reels and youtube shorts here and there 💀) and i came across this one of han so hee walking through the airport recently with the caption “jungkook’s baby 🐰” like …… aight? 💀 if you’re (not YOU anon, i’m addressing people in general) the kind of person whose immediate reaction is either “i hate you, [insert member’s name] would never date you 🔪” or “their babies are going to be beautiful 😍” then sorry i think you’re weird ……
this is why i stay away from twt and tiktok bc most people there are not cpaable of being normal 😑 and 99% of the people i follow on tumblr only post official news and never speculate or make comments about these things so my dash is very peaceful 🫶
like, when we feel a certain way about certain news, i think that’s completely ok bc you’re entitled to those feelings, and no one is telling you that you can’t be feeling like that. as long as you recognize that those are your feelings and as long as you don’t go attacking people who have nothing to do with this then that’s fine. we’re all allowed to be upset as much as we’re allowed to be happy and excited but at the end of the day this is literally a parasocial relationship and if you’re going around commenting barfing emojis on a stranger’s ig posts then you’re only embarrassing yourself 🫶 live laugh love and make sure you have a nice and healthy fandom experience y’all
apobango 💜🫶

omg today must be blessed for me or something bc you're the second person today who knew Tonight Alive???? like, for the entire rest of my life whenever I would bring them up, no one knew them unless I was the one who introduced them to the band 😭 but I was also talking to someone irl today and we were discussing pop-punk (as you do) and they knew Tonight Alive too??? anyway I'm just so excited to find someone else who knows them!!!!! and omg warped tour! I never went, but what a throwback - I remember all the promotion for it - it just has these beautiful late '00s early '10s vibes that are so impossible describe lol
honestly The Other Side was weirdly like a Foundational Album for me? like do you ever have those albums that you seem to listen to at just the right spot in your life and they kinda stay with you even if they aren't your favorite albums of all time? idk maybe this is just me being Super Not Normal about music lmao 😅 but Paramore's self-titled is also like that for me. do you have any albums like that (or am I truly just completely unhinged and totally alone in this experience 😅)?
but please do let me know when you get a chance to listen to "Complexes" so I can hear your take!!!! I'd love to know if you also find it Aemond-coded! (and if you want recs (bc I can never shut up about music I'm so sorry) my other favorites from that album are "The Other Side," "Lonely Girl," and "You Don't Owe Me Anything"). also I feel like "Lonely Girl" is kinda Aemond-coded too. like I feel like it's what he wants to say to Aegon, but he just mostly keeps it inside and just does his duty anyway
okay and the ask about Aemond's religious trauma and his sexuality?? I am SCREAMING I am CRYING I am absolutely considering this canon. purity culture really sticks with a person, that's for sure. and I can totally see that affecting his relationship with intimacy. a brilliant take!!
and finally, re: more religious trauma and him having to pay a price equivalent to what he receives for his prayers???? I-- I am sobbing. like, something about the whole "suffering for salvation" always frickin gets me. I was (and kinda still am) so interested in the church mystics who would like lock themselves away and starve themselves and engage in other forms of self-harm in order to receive visions from god. just, the idea that there's a price for everything, and that price is often paid in physical suffering (in Aemond's case, losing his eye and the lingering effects of that) is something that is so devastating, and yet so deeply engrained in so many religions (I know I'm still trying to unlearn parts of it)
okay now that this is practically novel-length, I'll be done! 😅 thank you for putting up with my unhinged ramblings! ❤️
sending good wishes always!
🐍 🔪
I definitely think Tonight Alive was big in the scene! Although I also used to keep an extra eye out for female-led bands back in the day. Still do, but yeah, if it was a frontwoman there was no way it slipped past my radar (was it because I was looking for inspo because I was so sure I was gonna be in a band? more likely than you think) 😅 but yeah totally get you about the vibes, omg, you just had to be there, the vibe of that era was unmatched!
And ohhh for sure, I totally get you about foundational albums, I do have my fair share of 'em! For me, it's definitely Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled. When they ask me what my favorite album of theirs is my favorite I'm never sure what to say because the self-titled was IT for me back in the day, but I love others because of the whole listening experience. So yeah, I get you, it's tough!!
Oh gosh I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet (this week I've been struggling with this weird headache and I finally went to the doctor for it) but I'm definitely taking note of all of your recs to listen to! I love love love when people recommend me music so please, I'd definitely love to hear all of your aemond-coded songs (or just general songs you wish to show me!)
Okay re: more on Aemond and religion. OH god yes, now that you mention that about mystics who would lock themselves away and torture themselves to get visions from god, it reminds me that Ewan Mitchell talked about finding inspiration for Aemond from the legend of The Cyclops, how he traded one of his eyes to Hades to see how he would die. So what we've talked about in relation to religion and suffering in order to gain something else to your benefit I think it's spot on. Also, it's something that sticks with you. I still feel guilty over the silliest things; like when I want to rest, I still have this nagging little voice in my head that tells me that in order to rest, I need to work; or if I want to buy myself something I always feel super guilty about spending money. So all of this guilt and the need to suffer to feel worthy about what you have is definitely something that would be deeply ingrained in Aemond and something that would bleed into all areas of his life. I'm imagining that at some point (in the scenario where doesn't die like in the books, lmao T_T) he must be conscious of wanting to separate himself from it when he realizes it is no longer serving him, or it's only bringing him more pain, but it's hard to do so.
Ok once again, NO worries AT ALL about the ramblings, I LOVE THEM! and sorry again for taking even longer this time to reply! I'm ashamed. But please please please never hesitate to drop into ye old inbox! Hope you have the loveliest weekend, dear! x

17. (asking out of desperation lol), 65., and 67.!
17. What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)
I try many different things. Sometimes I'll focus on a different craft/hobby and let my brain brainstorm in the background. Other times I'll come up with titles, tags and summaries ahead of time to give myself the "illusion" of productivity and perhaps make something click. I change fonts. I go digging for songs that fit my WIP to make a playlist. I switch to brainstorming on paper with diagrams and stuff. I go for walks with headphones on. I allow myself to not write at all for days and weeks, or to simply have the document open while I do something else. I reread my writing. I edit what I've already written. I write shitty drabbles, erase them and close the tab before I can regret it. I reblog ask games. I reread kind comments. I take prompts and ignore 3/4s of them. I switch to a WIP for a different fandom for a change of pace. I fall back into my A-Z Drabble Challenge. I remind myself I didn't write for 10 years, so any hiatus is brief in comparison...
TLDR: I can't push my brain to write if it doesn't want to, so I have to figure out whether it doesn't want to write at all or if it's just that one particular WIP that is cursed. If I have to wait, I wait. And if the creative energy is eating me alive and giving me nausea and both writing and video editing are a big resounding no, I go for something unexpected. Last weekend, I baked cookies.
65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project
Oh I'm so, so excited about my Tolkien Secret Santa fic you have no idea!!! Also utterly terrified!!!! Because I'll be writing it from the POV of a character I haven't written before, and I still feel out of my depth when it comes to The Hobbit/LOTR. But it's a plotbunny I've had for quite a while, so I'm happy this gave me an excuse to tackle it. If all goes well it might be the first work in a series because the AU in question opens so many possibilities.
I can't share any deets except this: 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
67. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?
Normally I would say independent ideas but these days I've been really enjoying prompts and challenges! They force me out of my comfort zone, and I feel those are the fics that have allowed me to grow the most as a writer.
