My Girlfriend is a Witch
 Pairing: Corpse Husband x Witch!Reader
Warnings: None! Maybe a sware or two.
Genre: Real Person Fic, Fluff
A/N: This has been in my drafts for quite some time so here is a quick little Corpse Husband Fic. I havent written on here in so long due to my life crumbling under my feet. I have done a lot of research for this but I am NOT 100% sure of everything just yet. I’m not apart of Paganism myself, but I respect everyone that is!
***
“Y/N, you did not just walk into this apartment with another Crystal.” The tone of her boyfriend made her freeze as she walked into the apartment, an all too familiar plastic bag hanging from from her elbow and her face morphed into an innocent smile.
“No... not another Crystal.” She shuffled into the kitchen and placed the bag on the counter top so she could remove the items from her bag and place the plastic bag in the bag full of bags that the two keep under the sink.
“Let me guess, herbs?” Corpse asked, approaching his girlfriend with a small smirk on his face.
She shook her head, “Nope.”
“Candles?”
“Negative, ghost rider.”
“Please tell me it’s not incents again, last time you cleansed the apartment I sneezed like crazy for a week.” His pleading eyes made Y/N laugh in delight.
The pair have been dating for two years and have lived together for five months. The transition of living on his own to living full time with his spiritual witchy girlfriend had been kind of difficult. He wasn’t aware about how serious she was about her craft, so when he opened one of her boxes and found some kind of rodent bones in a small clear container, saying he was surprised would have been an understatement
Though as they started to get used to the new arrangement, he was able to learn a thing or two about what she does and how she lived. Kind of like how she just loved bringing home a new Crystal almost every time she stepped out the apartment. It was getting overwhelming at this point.
Y/N smiled up at him and pulled a small black velvet pouch out of the bag, “Okay, I lied, it is a crystal but it’s not what you think! I had something made for you!”
He rose an eyebrow and he smirked, “Oh yeah?” He held out the palm of his hand and smiled as she placed the pouch down gently.
He opened the pouch and carefully removed a black sleek ring from the pouch and his eyes lit up, “A ring? This is a crystal?” He asked and she nodded, excitement in her eyes.
“I know playing with your rings helps with your anxiety and Hematite, this ring, is supposed to help deflect negative energies in stressful situations.” She explained and put her hand into her pocket, pulling out one of his other rings that he thought he had misplaced a few weeks prior.
“I didn’t know your ring size and if I asked it would have ruined the surprise so I took one of yours to bring to Maggie.”
He chuckled, sliding the ring on his left ring finger, “I love it, thank you.” He mumbled, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into his chest.
“Aren’t you playing Among Us with your friends today?” She asked as she took a glimpse at the time.
He looked at the clock on the oven as well, sighing as he placed his chin on the top of Y/N’s head, “I do. Are you going back out?” He asked letting her go and watching as she went back to the bag.
“Nope! I got a new Tarot deck while I was there because my old deck vanished. I need to break it in and cleanse the cards. I might try to communicate with Aphrodite or Hades, but they really liked my old deck so I am not sure if they’ll react well to this new one.” She rambled as she crumbled up the empty bag and placed it under the sink. 
“Be careful.” He said as he turned around and made his way to his recording room.
***
As the third game came to an end, a few of his friends were taking the time to talk with their streams, Corpse wasn’t streaming he was just there for his friends. He was talking with Sean, who was also not streaming at the time.
“Oh! Corpse! I found your girlfriend’s Instagram account! I didn’t know she was into Witchcraft.” Rae’s voice piped up as her little astronaut came running over to the two.
Corpse smiled at his computer monitor, even though they couldn’t see him, “Yeah she’s Pagan, I believe.” He said glancing over at the girl in question who had wandered into his streaming room, noise cancelling headphones on and Tarot Deck in hand. Her tounge was poking out from in between her lips as she concentrated on her reading.
“Her profile is so aesthetically pleasing! Can I follow her?”
He let out a small chuckle, “I’m sure she wouldn’t mind, just be wary if you ask her for a tarot reading; the cards can be quite cutthroat. She’s still doing research as to who her spirit guide could be, but whoever they are, absolutely brutal.” He shivered at the memory of when Y/N gave him a reading around when they first started dating, let’s just say it didn’t go too well.
“You seem to know a lot about this stuff.” Sykunno said and the others agreed.
“I just listen when she talks about it, because she enjoys it and it makes her happy.” He glanced over at the girl one more time as her phone lit up next to her.
“I followed her.”
“Me too!” Sean said and he laughed, “She bought you a ring? Dude she is so adorable.”
“Rae what’s her username?” Sykunno asked.
“I’ll text it to you.” Corpse said, grabbing his phone from the desk and glancing over at her once again; her eyes were still glued to the cards almost frozen in place.
"What else does she like to do?" Lily's voice popped up, he hummed lightly.
"Well she loves crystals and has been looking into palm reading, there's a shop nearby that she's been visiting recently and now my apartment is being taken over by crystals and incense." Everyone laughed at that.
But he wouldn't have it any other way.

i was listening to twin size mattress by the front bottoms and was like. hmm this is the most toby song ever
SO i was wondering do u have any songs that remind you of specific creeps? could be from lyrics or just general vibes yk yk
- 🌙 anon (im new here hi)
HII welcome. ok ok. so i listen to music in a very boring way and never analyze lyrics/artists/albums/etc. but for you i will try to change.
Tumblr media
also these lryics with toby oh wow.. wow. ok. wowwww. wow. ok. wow. STUFF UNDER THE CUT BUT KNOW IM DEEPLY WARPING THE ACTUAL MEANING BEHIND A LOT OF THESE SONGS LOL. i religiously listen to love songs so its hard
toby and honey by coastal club. (my fave song rn..)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
whether its from his perspective or not.. it doesnt even have to be romantic either. just his friendships with everyone around him, both from people like tim and brian seeing this SEVERELY TROUBLED kid. . . 'wide eyed..dying to get outside' feels very :((( yk. he was a kid trapped in a fucking horrifying situation all his life. or him looking at his friendship with nina. "youve got a way with me... alive and so full of life, i'm mesmerized by your love" etc. maybe jack or clockwork with the "i started laughing at the words you spoke, i kinda like you and your stupid jokes"... AGAIN I KNOW ITS A LOVE SONG but i see it applying in so many different forms of love. and i love love. also a ton of like, car and driving references which is um. lyra reference sorry
nina x clockwork and "a big brown dog named bagel" by nep
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok this doesnt apply so much to my au(nobody is canon in mine but yk)... buttttttt... yeah. ugh. this is so nina @ nat. sorry guys ive been changed. one ask always diverts my attention at the speed of light. "I like the way she bites, the way she talks, the way she looks when I smile" is just SO FUCKING NINA ADORING NAT. nina just wants to be in the most fairytale coming of age movie ya novel lovestory and she says that her biggest dream in life is to get married. she wants to take care of her lover and give and give and give so fucking much and "I'll buy you a big old house on a big old hill And I'll grow old with my baby, 'til she's dead" is so very her. of course i chose clockwork cuz 'she's tall in the knees' and 'some green in her eyes' plus im a lesbian and havent fawned over sapphic relationships in months since i began my creepypasta return. LOL
eyeless jack and "downhill" by lincoln
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there r few words to describe the amount of guilt, horror, and devastation that jack feels after what he's done, all he's lost, and what he has to do to survive. he has a year of his life that he was literally possessed by a demon and went around fucking tearing humans apart and eating their remains. even as he's """recovering""" and settling into a cabin, his friendships with the creeps, trying to just feel okay. he's on his last leg, he can tell that people know he's a shell of what he was but they'll never know how warm, kind, inviting he used to be. "i went downhill at such a steep inline" ... yea he did his life changed immeasurably in a single night and it's never coming back. the lyrics "'Cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud / And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground" ... while he had a ton of pressure. he loved his life, loved his family, was the type to constantly express how grateful he was for everything that got him where he was. and then he hit rock fucking bottom because he wanted to chase a little excitement with the pretty girl inviting him to join a 'club.' poor guy
liu and "i'm not angry anymore" by paramore
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i dont think i need to explain this because um..... lols... liu just wants to fucking move on. he just wants to escape everything. he wants his family back, including the little brother he'd play catch with in the front yard for so many years. but he has his moments where it all comes barreling back, and he makes real fucking brash decisions - he lost his marriage because he spiraled trying to find jeff and moved to fucking alabama. so you know.
jane and "everest" by beabadoobee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
again, i dont think i need to explain this. maybe this could be mary(jane's wife) singing to jane, cuz she was one of janes main supports after her parents death. jane can only act strong for so long but she is so so so fucking sad and mourning and she was always so soft and gentle and sweet and she lost everything in a single night. she spent a short period of time filled with rage, as she would be, but her story eventually evolves into her just wanting to help others with their cases, be happy with her wife, take care of sally, grow old, make her parents proud. she's climbed mountains and is probably in the best place of all the creeps. holds her. i dont touch her character too often because i just want her to settle happily lolz..
ok thats all i got guys :3.. thank youuuuu thank youuu. sorry if my music taste is bad guys. LOL.

It’s been about three weeks since Hyunjin was betrothed to Yuna. The two have grown closer, but not as their parents believe. Now, she’s become more of a sister, and Hyunjin her brother. 
She shares her crush on the shopkeeper she’s so fond of, asking for advice and tips. In turn, she gives Hyunjin the same—as well as tricks to keep his hair healthy. He likes having her as a friend. 
In between their normal chatter and hanging out, they scheme. Researching legal documents, checking to see if there’s any way they can get out of marrying each other. It’s tiring work, but love is a powerful driving force. 
“Do you know of any close family members that might be willing to take your spot?” Yuna raises her brow at Hyunjin. “I mean, I know I have a cousin or two that wouldn’t mind being in an arranged marriage for a few years. If you have someone to take your spot, then I think that they’ll let us off the hook.”
“That’s a good idea, except for the fact that I don’t know any of my family. The only family in my memories are my parents, and Minho I guess, but he’s not blood.” The blond frowns, sighing. Why did he have to be born to money hungry control freaks?
Yuna purses her lips, “I’ll have someone look into your family and see if you have any candidates. Until then, we have to just hang in there, I guess.”
——
“I’m dying.” You whine, hanging off the couch dramatically.
Minho and Chan shake their heads. “You’re not dying [Y/N],” the younger sighs, “I know it's hard, but you’re both safer this way.”
You know what he’s saying is true, but…
It's been over a month and a half since you were ripped away from Hyunjin, and you’ve thought of him every moment since then. You just want to see him--just be in his presence again. Unfortunately, you know that's not possible. At least, not according to Minho’s information on the blond.
So, while you may not be literally dying, you most definitely feel like you are.
And so when a particular idea pops in your head, you decide you have nothing left to lose, and voice it out.
“Let’s kidnap Hyunjin.”
----
“Yuna! Yuna! Where are you?” Hyunjin scrambles around, excitement all over his face as he races to find her. He’d been up since the crack of dawn, brainstorming ways to get out of their arrangement, and he finally came up with something. Now if only he could find her--
“Hyunjin? What? It’s early as hell,” she yawns, glancing at her phone and shoving the digital numbers in his face, giving him a good look at the time. 8:40 am. “What do you want?”
“They can’t force us to get married if one of us is already married.” He grins, panting slightly from the running around he’d done. Luckily, it isn’t odd for a fiancé to sleep over--or else the entire Hwang staff would be giving him a weird look all day.
Yuna curls a brow. “What do you mean? You want to run away and marry [Y/N] to get out of this?” She yawns a bit towards the end, rubbing her tired eyes with confusion.
His face is covered in shock for a moment before he picks up his jaw and shakes his head. “No, I love her, but she’s not ready to marry me yet. I barely confessed the day we were brought here.” He scoffs at the idea that he’d rush your relationship, which she rolls her eyes at. “You should marry Jay.”
Yuna flushes at the idea, mouth turning into a circle in surprise. Hyunjin knows she wants to marry the boy--she’s talked about it almost every day since they met, after all. “I-I don’t know… what if he doesn’t want to?”
Now it's Hyunjin’s turn to roll his eyes. “He wants to, trust me. I’ve seen the way he looks at you through the shop windows. He’s probably written his vows to you already,” he chuckles, his words making the girl redder than ever, which earns him a shove from her small hands. “Just ask him. If you two get married before our wedding, they won’t be able to force us together.”
Pursing her lips, she sighs. “Fine, I’ll ask.” Her agreement makes the blond cheer in satisfaction.
“Thank you Yuna!”
“Yeah yeah,” she waves him off, stepping back into her room and closing the door, “Let me get back to bed now.” Hyunjin apologizes and waltzes back down the hall to his room, and she can’t help but shake her head at his antics. “Weirdo.”
----
“You want to do what?” Chan all but yells, eyes wide in confusion. Sure, he’d heard a lot of crazy things pertaining to Hyunjin’s situation but you want to kidnap him? That’s a bit too much for the Australian to handle. “[Y/N] you know that’s illegal, right?”
You shrug. “Let's kidnap him. They kidnapped me already. Plus, Minho has pretty much done this before.” Your reasons just make the doctor sigh. “What? I can’t just sit around and do nothing anymore.”
Chan sees where you’re coming from, he really does, but as a doctor, he’s not sure he can condone this idea of yours. “But [Y/N], there’s no way you’re getting through their security and getting back here with Hyunjin safely. By the way, you could be arrested for kidnapping too. And you don’t have the money to get out of it.”
All of his stupid, logical reasoning makes you groan and roll your eyes. You know Chan likes to play by the rules—you usually do too—but for once, you just want him to support you and your bad idea. “Whatever, I don’t care! With or without you Chan, I’m gonna get Hyunjin back. I know he’s miserable, just like I am,” you frown, arms crossed loosely over your chest. “He deserves to be free, no matter who his parents are.”
As you strut away from the living room, Minho can’t help but stare at you in wonder. All this time, he’s known you cared for Hyunjin. What shocks him though, is that you seem to be the only person that can rival Minho’s love for his friend. ‘I can’t believe I’m going this again,’ he sighs, standing to follow you to your room so you can start discussing plans to break Hyunjin out. With the bright smile you give him when he agrees to your idea, he knows why it was so easy for him to fall for you. “So, what’re you thinking?”
Chan is completely flabbergasted, as well as disappointed, with Minho’s reaction. Sure, he knows Minho’s in love with you--everyone knows--but to go along with kidnapping Hyunjin? That sounds like more than love. It's insane. But then again, Chan also knows how much Minho cares about the younger boy, and how much he misses hanging out with him freely. “You guys are ridiculous, you know that, right?”
You glare at the Australian, but you can tell with the way he sounds stressed that he’s about to give into whatever plan you throw at him. 
And so, you begin explaining your master plan to the two boys. 
It wasn’t anything complicated. You would go as Minho’s date for the upcoming gala, disguised as one of their rich guests. While the two of you worked to find Hyunjin, Chan would pretend to be a security guard, and make a safe escape route. This was the base at least. You had also hoped to bring Han, Jeongin, and Seungmin along, have them act as caterers (if they agreed) and keep attention away from Minho, Hyunjin, and yourself as much as possible. Then, Minho would excuse himself, drive one of his cars around the side, and they would all slip out unnoticed.
So here you were, dressed all fancy, surrounded by about a hundred other guests. They’re all too busy trying to either get to Mr. or Mrs. Hwang to notice you, but you feel as if all their eyes are on you, judging you, picking you apart, and getting ready to notify the security of your suspicious presence. 
It makes you shuffle forward a bit faster, and you bump against someone’s shoulder on accident. “I am so sorry--”
“Don’t worry about…” her eyes lock with yours within seconds, “What ar--”
You hold your finger vertically against your lips, telling her--Hyunjin’s arranged partner (who Minho warned you about and who was well aware of how you looked due to the social media pictures of you Hyunjin had shoved in her face)--‘don’t say anything’ and reconnect to Minho’s arm. Minho, who’d seen the whole thing, gives you a curt nod for not going off script.
Striding to the buffet table, you spot Jeongin in your peripheral vision, keeping the attention off of you. He seems to be doing a great job, considering all the older women were by him, gushing over the “adorable young waiter” less than discreetly. You’d seen his fiancée, now where was Hyunjin?
“I’m gonna go look around upstairs, you keep an eye out down here, yeah?” Minho leans down to whisper to you, looking at you for agreement. 
You squeeze his arm and shake your head, “No Minho, everyone’s gonna know I don’t belong here if they see me without you.”
He sighs, stopping the two of you in your tracks. “Nobody’s going to know [Y/N], as long as you don’t do anything to attract attention, you’ll be fine. Just walk around and smile at people.”
You’re about to argue why that isn’t true when he slips out of your hold and walks off--meaning it would look too odd if you were to speed walk back up to him. ‘Damn you’, you think, before turning towards the art wall and deciding that would be a good place to start. 
----
You were wrong. 
As it turns out, the art wall isn’t actually just a small hallway with lovely paintings on the wall and a statue or two on display. It was an entire gallery bigger than your apartment by a landslide. You couldn’t help but be amazed at the family’s collection of fine pieces--but damn it if this wasn’t inconvenient to your search. You’re about 15 minutes into the gallery and still no sign of Hyunjin. You’re beginning to get cold feet about this plan and getting ready to call the whole thing off when a mess of blond hair and dark roots catch your eye. He’s admiring a painting, two bodyguards beside him, one on either side. 
You want to run up to him, hold him so close you’re practically in his skin, his warmth all around you. 
But you can’t, otherwise, all your planning, arranging, and sneaking around would go to waste. You dial Minho’s number and tell him the situation, and he’s by your side within minutes. He smoothly makes his way to Hyunjin, you trailing close behind and listening as Minho tells the guards something to get them to leave. 
“Hyunjin, I brought someone with me,” Minho smiles, catching the younger male’s attention. Stepping aside to make you visible, Hyunjin’s jaw drops and Minho has to catch his glass out of his hands to keep him from shattering it on the floor. “Say hi.”
You can see his eyes get watery, his lip trembling as he takes a step towards you before he stops himself. “What are you doing here? It’s dangerous for you [Y/N].”
Despite his words, you can’t help but melt at the way he sounds saying your name. “We’re getting you out” you whisper, staring into his glistening eyes. “We couldn’t just leave you here.”
“How? My clothes have trackers, there’s guards everywhere-- I don’t think you guys are getting out of here with me,” he frowns, grabbing his clothes to the light flickering in the seams. “I’m stuck here.”
“We know about the guards and everything. We weren’t prepared for the trackers, though,” your brows curl in worry as you look at Minho.
He mentions that he has extra clothes, then moves on to explain the plan to Hyunjin. He seems worried, but at this point, he’ll do anything to get out of his parent’s hold. With a sigh, he asks, “Do you know when Chan will be ready?”
“I was actually about to check,” Minho states, calling the doctor up quickly. He mumbles into the phone, hand covering his face, making it hard enough not only for bystanders and strangers to hear, but difficult for Hyunjin and yourself as well. However, the nod that's accompanied by the movement of his chin let you know enough. “He’s ready whenever you are,” he gives Hyunjin a look, before gesturing to a particularly broad-shouldered security guard standing by a door off to the side of the gallery with “SECURITY” written in bold print on it. 
You begin tugging the blond towards the Australian, suddenly remember you’re all on borrowed time, and that the guards assigned to stay by Hyunjin could return at any moment. Upon this reminder, Hyunjin begins rushing towards the door as discreetly as possible, and Minho decides now is as good a time as ever to excuse himself as the getaway driver. 
“Hey man,” Chan greets quietly, swiftly opening the door to the security room and ushering the two of you inside. Hyunjin nods, glancing around in confusion and paranoia. Upon seeing the younger male’s fright, Chan calms his fears, “Don’t worry about the cameras seeing us. I know a guy who fixed that for us.”
Han’s voice comes out muffled from Chan’s headset, making Hyunjin and your own eyes widen. You knew he had some interest in computers, but you didn’t think he actually had any knowledge to help with something like this. At least now you know how he never seems to get viruses from downloading so much questionable software (he would really do anything to get free streaming services). “Yeah I covered for you guys, but you only have like 5 minutes left before the cameras start capturing live footage again. In other words, hurry up please.” 
You all begin moving through the route, which is incredibly clear. The security room connects to dozens of other security rooms through hidden hallways. You suppose it only makes sense, considering just how rich the Hwangs are, for them to have such an intricate hidden system within the walls of their household. 
Within 3 minutes, you three make it out the back door, where Minho is quietly pulling up, undetected. Hyunjin had removed his shirt during the walk, and ditched his shoes when you guys left the first security room, only needing to change his lower half’s garments now. He hops into the back, quickly replacing his own clothes with those Minho had given to him, ridding himself of the trackers. You hop in the back soon after beside him, Chan and Jeongin piling in soon after with the elder taking the passenger seat and Jeongin squishing himself beside you, barely buckling in when Minho steps on the gas.
“Alright, cams coming on in three… two… one-” just as Han’s voice finishes the count down from Chan’s phone, Hyunjin’s phone goes off with alerts, which are quickly followed by a spam of phone calls that make him throw his phone out of the window in fear as Minho begins speeding down the road towards your side of town.
Hearts pumping with adrenaline, you and the blond face each other simultaneously, tearing up immediately as you lean in to embrace each other’s lips for the first time in far too long. His forehead presses against yours as tears run down his cheeks, his hands caressing and wiping your face. “I missed you so much.”
Your bottom lip trembles, and you lean into his neck, arms wrapping around him to pull Hyunjin close to you, afraid he might disappear if you let go, “I missed you more.”
He lets out a painful laugh, squeezing you tighter to him, and shaking his head as if to gently disagree with you. He can’t fathom you missing him any more than he missed you. “I love you.”
A wistful sigh escapes you, a choked sob following not long after, “I love you too.”
The three boys glance back at you, each of them wearing a soft smile. However, Chan found it difficult to see only joy in Minho’s eyes after hearing your proclamations. He doesn’t mention it though, allowing you all a moment of peace.
----
After arriving at Jisung, Jeongin, and–at this point–Minho’s apartment and settling in, one question plague’s your minds.
“So…” Jisung begins, “What now?”

I’ve literally never met another person who ships First Hero with an OC. I MUST know everything about her now 👁️👁️
Tumblr media
Oh goodness, where to start! Firstly, thank you so much for your interest in her! We love Stella a lot and she's super fun to write when we get to do so, so it'd be my pleasure to talk about her! Iirc we touched on her a bit in the more recent Stolen Altars chapters, discussing her with another character we havent seen in a while. That conversation gave us a bit of a peek into what Stella was like in her home era, and her family.
To start, Stella was never a meek woman, and she's always been incredibly stubborn. Fueled by spite, that one, and so willful, she's about as ornery as an old mule. That comes shining through in a lot of ways, in a lot of her relationships. With her grandfather, who was her legal guardian after her parents died, that manifested as frequent arguments and a lot of her storming out of the house, long hair trailing behind her like a tropic storm tail.
With her coworker, it often showed up as flippant disregard. She was going to do what she wanted, and normally there wasn't anyone willing or able to stop her. Working at the time bureau as she was, she did get the opportunity to pursue a medical track, which seemed to be the one thing she and her grandfather agreed upon, and she was good at it, as well as a quick study.
However, her stubborn streak bit her when her recklessness got her coworker put into the hospital, and she mellowed quite a bit after that. She began investing more time and care into that relationship especially, becoming, in that coworkers own words, like a second mother. Around this time, she cut her hair, and also acquired the scar on her nose. The new, good relationships with her peers didn't ease tensions with her grandfather though, and if anything, made them worse, and she continued to be directly oppositional to him until and after she met Matdas.
A note: her attitude was still shit when she met him and her bedside manner was still even worse.
Following that, some few years later and after figuring out her living situation with Matdas, there was an event, which forced her to take her small child and run, slipping through time to safety but leaving Matdas behind in the process.
From here, she remarried out of necessity to provide for the baby, her step-spouse passing of illness when the kid was old enough to understand what was going on, somewhere preteen ish? (I'd have to go back and look, forgive me ^^; ) and from then until just before the end of her life, things were relatively peaceful.
Stella was adept with magic, as it'd been a skill that was incredibly useful with her medical work, and did her best to try and pass that on, but…. She realized fairly quickly that it would be better for everyone if she simply wrote down all of her spells for her kid, because spellcasting was not a hereditary skill. She was a good mom, and by then she'd mostly figured out the patience thing, doing her best to show her child that they were loved no matter what. Stella was a comforting constant in a world where people often had a tendency toward cruelty.
She then fell ill, her child a teen, and didn't recover. The loss is still v e r y acutely felt.
That said... We're not exactly done with her or this story yet! Stay tuned! :3c

I'm late, but Ruby pestering everyone about their New Years Resolutions?
(Dont worry, I'm late with this one too.)
“New year, new resolutions and goals!” Ruby practically yelled out as she threw a binder down onto the kitchen table. “And I think its about time for us to start figuring out what we want to do.” 
Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. “Will you please stop stealing my binders for this kind of stuff?” 
“I didnt steal it, I’m borrowing. We’re three weeks into the new year and we still havent made any goals for us to move forward.” 
“What more is there for us to want to do?” Yang asked as she sat her plate of pancakes down. “We graduated and became huntresses, we managed to stop the White Fang from attacking Beacon, crime has practically non-existent in Vale, maybe its time for us to just relax.” 
Blake nodded as she sat down next to Yang. “I guess we could start figuring out a few hobbies-” 
“That’s not what I mean.” Ruby sighed and sat down at the table, pushing the binder to the side. “It’s about finding our place in the world, not sitting down and finding things for us to do while Ozpin keeps us sidelined.” 
“Maybe he wouldnt sideline us if you werent always looking for something to do.” Weiss pulled her binder back towards her. “First it was looking for grimm, then getting caught trying to find Roman in a few abandoned warehouses, and lets not forget about the mess you created in Atlas when you thought you saw Cinder running through the streets. If we want any resolutions for the new year, then maybe its time that we stop trying to find trouble to get into and find something that’ll take your mind off being a huntress.” 
Ruby slumped over in her chair, a deep breath leaving her lips. “I-I didnt think I saw her, I did see her. She was there and Roman’s still here-” 
“Why dont we take guitar lessons?” Yang interrupted Ruby. “Or we can take up gardening. Dad did always want to teach us how to grow our own veggies.” 
“Yang-” 
“Weiss is right,” Blake said. “You need to slow down before we get ourselves into any more trouble. I know you want to stop Cinder, but all you’re going to do is burn yourself out. Like I almost did with the White Fang.” 
“I-its not the same.” Ruby sighed and leaned back in her chair a bit. “Cinder is out there and if we dont stop her, then what happened at Beacon is going to happen somewhere else.” 
“Running yourself ragged taking missions to connect the dots that might not even connect isnt going to help you either.” Weiss got up and went behind Ruby, gently rubbing her shoulders. “Besides, its been five years since Beacon was attacked and Cinder hasnt been seen since then. If she was going to attack anywhere, she would’ve done so by now.” 
“Yeah, but she’ll-” 
“Please, you need to rest. And right now that means figuring out a resolution for the year that isnt going after Cinder.” 
Ruby sighed and nodded. “Alright, I’ll try to relax.” 
Weiss kissed Ruby’s cheek. “Good.” 
Ruby straightened up in her chair and smiled a bit at Weiss. “But at the first sign of Cinder or Roman, we’re going after them.” 
“If they show themselves somewhere, we will.” Yang got up and took her plate to the sink. “Until then, we’ll start with some gardening and music. Maybe you’ll be able to play that keyboard that’s in your room.”

transcription of dream's private twitter update rant [april 17 2024, parts 1-4]
Tumblr media
yo yo yo, quick update. um, i saw -- i saw a reddit post which is why i'm doing this actually, someone said, "why does dream keep doing this?" um, so i just wanna explain something and then, hopefully, uh -- have some understanding, but also just some... clarity.
um, so i've been working on a massive project for over a year now, at this point, um, and i've shared some of it, i did a short where i used some of the technology, i guess -- essentially, in january, but i've been working on it for far longer than that. um, it's something that i'm extremely passionate about and as time has kinda gone on i've been spending more and more time on it.
um, and literally when i say in the last few months i have not left my house, i mean i have not left my house. i mean, i've been doing nothing other but work. i've spent so much time coding everyday, i've spent time learning new things, i've spent a lot of time testing, and -- and coming up with new ideas, and you know. tons of new stuff, obviously it doesnt really mean anything if you don't actually put anything out, i havent put anything out for a very long time, but i will say the reason i've done that is because i want to start uploading when i can upload a bunch, um, and i want it to be awesome obviously, but i also want to be able to just be like, "hey, i'm uploading, and i'm also uploading once every week, or once every two weeks, or once-- twice a month, whatever."
and i don't just mean videos, i also mean shorts, and making content as frequent as i can. Because i want it to be like, "hey, i'm coming back, and i'm going to be like, active now." u, so, if you believe that's the case, and i'm not just making excuses, you should understand that it is just getting to that point. i'm a bit of a perfectionist and it'll never be perfect, so i've-- i've set a lot of deadlines to myself, and then also to other people.
and then what happens is we find something -- there's something, i go to go record, or we go to do something, and then it's just something that we had never gotten to that point before, so we didn't see that issue, or didn't see that thing that was happening in that moment.
so like, as an example, we literally got together we're recording the first video using -- uh, the full complete everything with this. i don't know, a while ago. we're like, "sweet", went to go record, and then discovered something because we had never actually recorded with it, we'd only done like, tests and so and so forth.
we discovered something! and i was like, "oh shit," and that became a whole thing that took forever to, you know, that changed a bunch of stuff and took forever to go around. and then like, while we were doing stuff on that, it was like, now we're working on -- we're working on other things while we have this time, and any downtime i have, i'm gonna spend it on this thing.
um. and then while i was -- the most recent delay on some stuff was, while i was in one of those downtimes, where i was waiting on people or i was working on fixing an issue, um, i found something cool! where i was like, "oh shit," i should explore this. explored it, and then the other issue's fixed, and then it's like, "well, let me finish this thing, because, this thing's actually -- it's gonna add to it in this way, or um, uh, whatever.
so essentially, there's been a lot of additive stuff, but there's also been a lot of planning and of course it doesn't help that. um, some stuff happened, in the middle of it, which did occupy a lot of time and energy and stuff. and also, i -- i don't -- i don't like throwing this in here, because it is more personal, and you know -- it -- it's not, i don't like including this in an excuse for --
[laughing] okay never mind i changed my mind on that last part! so i just paused the mic, and i decided, whatever you can just have that -- that left out. um, but yeah anyway! some stuff will come soon, it'll be awesome, i'm sick of kinda hyping stuff up. but it has been -- there's been multiple times where i'm like, "okay, i'm uploading this weekend," because it's done, it's ready to go, and then we go to record -- we hit a new, after we passed that previous point, where i'm like, "okay, i'm confident we're getting something out." um, i'll tweet about it or do something because i'm excited. because i'm just like, "oh my god, this is awesome! finally! holy shit! we can go!" so i'll tweet about it, and then i'll look like an idiot, because we -- we'll just -- jsut pass that point, there's another roadblock.
So -- so yeah. i guess there's -- my little rant's over, that's the best update i can give, all i can say is that, and i'll also say that i-- it's kinda cool for you guys to see stuff grow with me, and change, and see uh, the content evolve -- [squeaking noise] -- that was my chair, that was. Um, [laughs].
so, it's not like uh -- a lot of people will say like "oh, just -- you can just post anything we don't care!" but it's like, -- yeah, but it's like i love this. i love this. and i don't mean this, i just mean, like -- making content. i love it. i love it. it is my favourite thing in the world to sit down, come up with an idea, do everything in my power to execute it, and then put it out there and see people's reactions. or see how people -- how it affects them, or just see how it changes their day, or makes them smile, or whatever.
it's just creating, just like making things. um, so at the end of the day, a lot of people -- "oh, you can just go play minecraft"-- no! i don't wanna just play minecraft, i don't wanna do that, okay? i've never done that. i've never done that. like, even with manhunt, and -- which just seems so simple -- "oh, you just sat down and played minecraft and had your friends try to stop you". yeah! but, every video, i was looking into editing techniques, and new ways of using music, and new ways of making music, and [sighs]. new -- of -- evolutions of minecraft, and new bugs and glitches, and new-- how to practice, and -- i was evolving as a player
so there was a lot of things i was spending my time on, that was part of the creative process, and i feel like i maxxed out on a lot of those things. that - -that's not -- that exact thing is not fun for me. so what is fun for me is creating new things, and uh - -you know, evolving... the space, and -- anyway.
so i spent a lot of time on it, and as soon as possible i'll have something out. i've been in -- literally since january i've been in this state of, uh, "hey, this weekend we're gonna put something out." and it's just every week there's something.
eventually there'll be nothing. and when that happens, it'll be awesome. and when i say, "this is so-- whatever, this is so awesome," it's like -- i'm not hyping it up in a way where it's like, "guys, you'll see just one video, and you'll be like, 'holy shit! my life is changed!'" No. that's not what i mean, it's just really cool, and something that i wanna spend the next year... or more doing -- of course other stuff, but also, a lot of stuff with these things that i've done. over the last year.
so, that's why i'm excited. i'm really excited to start uploading, but i'm also excited to share this stuff with you. um, and i'm also just really excited to have something that i'm passionate about, something i'm happy about, that i can be proud of. um, and that i -- that i can, you know, that's unique and that i can make content on. because manhunt, that's unique, and i found a unique thing that i came up with, and i, you know, i did a lot of stuff with it.
and that's what i love. it's just -- making new things, um, and then having fun with them. and that's it.
but yeah! i think it's valid, and thats why i've kinda shut up recently [laughs] the last two make me look like an idiot, because i was like, "yes! we're recording! we're fucking doing it! alright i'm tweeting because i'm excited!" and then it kinda backfired. because there was just like, literally we had something that shipped in that day, and then it just didn't work. and i was like, "oh wait, okay, we need a new... item." and so, it's, custom-made and stuff so it took a bit.
that's fixed. so, um, we're working on other stuff. but yeah, there you go, there's some more excuses so you can put that in your excuse list for a bit. but yeah, i'll be uploading soon. peace!

Now that I've slept on it and have done a little digging, allow me to word vomit my take here.. this is just the a opinion of a hockey fan who's been watching for 3 years or so. More under the cut
Jake was a player that we drafted and developed in our system. We drafted him in the 3rd round at the 2013 draft (3rd round!! Isn't it nuts that he was picked that late??) and his first season in the NHL was the 2016-17 where he was a big reason for why we won the cup that year. He's been a huge factor for our success, a big fan favorite, an overall great guy from the stories I've heard and is also a huge presence in the locker room. The guys were clearly affected by this from how we played in the game last night. Sid, especially, has been looking off in the last few games. Jake has been his consistent winger the last few years and they're clearly very close friends off the ice.
He was going to be a free agent at the end of the season so pens either had to sign him or trade him while they can so that they could get something in return. There were rumors that he was offered a contract extension but he turned it down as he wanted to test free agency. There were also rumors that he was not offered an extension and the plan was to trade him all along. We'll never know for sure. The story might leak out in the offseason or a few years from now but for right now, we just dont know. All we know is that he was traded
I dont mind him being traded. I was kinda preparing myself for it over the last few weeks. It sucked because he's been injured so he played his last game in a penguins uniform weeks ago and we didnt get to say a proper goodbye or appreciate the moment more. What i do mind is that he was traded to a metro team - this one just hurts because his success there will be one giant constant "what if he stayed and was doing that on our team?" moment. I wish him well but i dont wish his new team well? Its gonna be hard to deal with that. Pens play carolina at home on 3/26 - its gonna suck.
Now, onto the return. There was no return that would truly make all fans happy. We were always going to be pissed and hurt no matter who we got back. A big part of this package is because jake is only a rental - There is no indications of an extension for him in carolina. Compared to the other trades involving rentals, we got a lot.
A huge part of the return is prospects - we wont know if they'll be good on nhl ice for a few years. The picks are conditional - we get a 2024 1st round pick if they make the cup final. If not, we get a 2024 2nd round pick. We get an additional 5th round pick if carolina wins the cup. Picks are wishes at this point and are years out from being a meaningful impact to the team right now so overall, they don't help our game immediately but they will help the retool long term.
Bunts is the active player traded that will join the team and has an immediate effect. He was fun to watch last year on the le*fs. Physical and annoying play type winger who will probably take a penalty or two that you'll yell at him for. Cant wait to see him play with geno - thats gonna be interesting 😅. His goals and assists totals have dipped this season compared to his time on his previous team but i havent been keeping up with the canes so i dont have a reference for his season.
Onto the prospects -
- Ville Koivunen, 20 years old, is playing in Finland and has 53 points in 56 games played this season.
- Vasili Ponomaryov, 21 years old, is playing in the AHL so we might see him sooner. 29 points in 40 games playes this season. Has played 2 NHL games and has his first NHL goal already
- Cruz Lucius, 19 years old, is playing at the University of Wisconsin. 31 points in 32 games played.
Whether this is a good deal or not is yet to be determined but we got more prospects in our system now which is something we definitely needed. We're still in the trade dealine so Bunts could still be moved out and flipped for other players. Other players still in the rumour mill for trades according to twitter - Ned, Reilly and Lars
Overall, thank you Jake for everything. We'll miss you and im gonna ugly cry during your tribue video return in a few weeks.
[If you dont like it or disagree with it, please just ignore or send me a message to talk futher. Gonna be deleting and ignoring all the angry/hurtful anons]

frank stans, how are we feeling?
i dont want to start anything but i would like to here peoples input on this- so, if youre gonna comment, be nice to each other please lol
im assuming that even though i havent seen much on it, the people here know about the ls dunes issues and related frank issues, but, to give a very short summary- ls dunes released an ai music video and when fans (rightfully) voiced their concern about the ethical implications of this, they doubled down, got defensive, and ended up saying some really harsh, hurtful things to fans. additionally, they have allowed "ai bros" to take over their fanbase and effectively bully original fans out of online spaces using homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic rhetoric. in the aftermath, frank made an antisemetic joke (seemingly accidentally) and fans tried to (very calmy and respectfully for the most part) inform him that it was offensive, but instead of simply apologizing and taking it down, or doing anything productive whatsoever, he got mad and started insulting fans and insisted that it was not antisemetic and that he had done nothing wrong/people couldnt "take a joke." i might be forgetting some things but, lastly, a friend and frequent photographer of ls dunes showed up to a party dressed as an ls dunes fan. his outfit consisted of a bright orange wig, and ls dunes beanie, fingerless skeleton gloves, and the ls dunes shirt with wolves on it that was designed by a fan. it was clearly an attempt to laugh at and make fun of fans, specifically girls and women in the fanbase, and, though it wasnt one of the band members wearing it, the fact that he felt that it was not only okay but also funny means that fans are likely a common , or at least not an uncommon, subject of jokes or ridicule in that circle. a lot of people are justifiably upset that a band who was initially so vocal about loving and supporting the fanbase that has loved and supported them for so many years would let this happen, especially after all of the shitty things that have done/allowed to be done to fans in the last few months
im 100% done with ls dunes at this point for a number of reasons (ai, the toxicity in the new fanbase, the bashing of the fans for expressing their concerns, this costume, etc), but im not sure how to feel about frank in all this. i know that he has had a part in all of the dunes shit, so im definitely not his number 1 fan anymore, but the other stuff like the doubling down on the antisemetic joke is still rubbing me the wrong way.
i am kind of having a hard time being objective about this because i have loved him and his music for so many years, so i was wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or input as to what theyre thinking about frank after this whole situation. i certainly dont think he is flawless, and i never have, but at this point, after everything that has happened, i feel uncomfortable continuing to "stan" him in the way that i have been, and i definitely dont feel comfortable going on as if nothing has happened. like.. ive had a frank profile picture since i got a twitter account, and same on here, but i changed it bc i dont want people to think i support some of the shit thats been going on, so i really dont know what to do here
thoughts, anyone?

ranking anime i’ve watched in 2023:
as expected, here’s this year’s top 10 for how much i personally enjoyed the anime i’ve watched this year. ive watched more than this, but god i watched so many bad ones…. even number 10 sucks but everything else was worse. sad!
as always thank u gifmakers for ur service 🫡 the world would be nothing without u all
10. the legendary hero is dead! (2023)
youtube
dont watch this show. it sucks and its bad. hey. come here. hold my hand. now lets just watch and enjoy the OP ok? don't worry about the rest.
9. my daughter left the nest and returned as an s-rank adventurer (2023)
i have to admit this show charmed me. its not the best thing ive ever seen but its nice. comfy. yknow? i haven't finished it but it's enjoyable. can't rank it higher until i finish it
8. sabikui bisco (2022)
Tumblr media
if it werent for the positively nonsensical jump in the middle of the show and the way theres just like. a lot of gaps? it’d rank higher. it’s a very cool premise for a show and i like the bisco/milo dynamic, and [SISTER] is fun as hell. it didnt wow me though overall, and while i enjoyed it i was hoping for more.
7. trigun stampede (2023)
Tumblr media
im sorry trigun stans i simply didnt love it. i see the appeal i really do but it just didnt hook me. i really liked the animation and the storyline. im intrigued by whatever the fuck is going on with those plants and yall have said theres a tallgirl in the next season? so i’ll keep watching. i just didnt love it
6. that time i got reincarnated as a slime (2019-2021)
Tumblr media
in contrast to #7, i can see why this show is weak HOWEVER i just enjoyed it. i like it. huge fan of how much gender the protag has. i love how they get new powers. i enjoy that it can be interpreted as an extremely bisexual show. it was well paced and the slime diaries OVA was a great addition. a lot of the characters really stuck with me too and its like. idk. one of my favourite isekais i guess
5. buddy daddies (2023)
Tumblr media
this should rank higher. its so fun. its SO fun. its silly and it doesnt take itself seriously. i laughed in every episode. the dynamic between the guys is great. the dynamics between them and the kid is great. just a really solid show if you can stand the queerbaiting. i dont even care
4. bocchi the rock! (2022)
Tumblr media
the bocchi side of tumblr is right this show rules. i like how real bocchi’s social anxiety feels (literally how it felt when i had it). the characters are entertaining, the show’s well done, they even have solid music (which band-based shows dont always do right!). its really funny and its really earnest and its a joy to watch
3. demon slayer: swordsmith village arc (2023)
Tumblr media
i included the entertainment district arc in last year’s list so this arc makes the cut. im always late getting around to watch the new stuff and i dont want to read the manga but god DAMN does this show hit different. incredible fight scenes. i loved everything they did for the hashira backstories. i love whatever the fuck is up with genya. it even gave me some akaza to sustain me for the next year or whatever. ik this show gets overhyped but its normal hyped. to me.
2. frieren: beyond journey's end (2023)
Tumblr media
oughhh frieren… ive only known this show for a few months but it means to much to me… i dont even wanna talk about it because its so good i just wanna watch it again. go watch frieren if you havent already its anime of the decade. to me
1. gundam: the witch from mercury (2022-2023)
Tumblr media
ive never seen a gundam before but i will be watched them after this! what can be said about it that hasnt already been said on this site. the romance storyline is impeccable, the fights are awesome, the moral questions it posed were excellently covered. by the end of the first episode i was speechless. by the end of the last episode i'd cried like 4 times over the course of the show. this thing made me cry to happy birthday. what the fuck

hey for something new and different im gonna do something i havent done in a very long time and share a bit of my original sports fiction project. this is from the very beginning of it, not the actual opening-opening but very shortly after it. it helps introduce and get to know our audience surrogate character, hockey player jesse marvel who’s just been drafted and is about to start training camp for the team that drafted him, the minneapolis-saint paul phoenixes.
buries my face in my hands anyways here’s this
Since he started high school, Jesse has been experiencing a recurring dream. It happens every couple of weeks or so, to the point that it’s an inside joke around his family’s home that Jesse got another video call from his alternate life whenever he has it. 
In the dream, he’s at a concert, standing off to the side of a massive stage, grandly lit with an inferno of blinding bright lights. The crowd is enormous, the kind you’d see at Madison Square Garden or Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Thousands of blurred out faces gather in an undulating mass of expectant fans, ready and waiting for the show to begin. The anticipation is so thick in the air that he can taste it, a metallic aluminum-copper, the adrenaline emitting from every person there enough to raise goosebumps on his arms. He never knows what band is supposed to take the stage, and every time he tries to read the banner hanging at the back of the platform it’s like he can’t get his eyes to focus on it. Then the crowd starts cheering, a wall of sound sweeps in a tidal wave across the stage, and someone plants a hand square in the middle of Jesse’s back. There’s the quick jerk of a nylon strap around his neck, the whack of an electric guitar into his chest, and a shove that sends him stumbling out, unable to stop until he stands, centre stage, staring out at the crowd that he now realizes has come to see him.
At this point of the dream, a few things occur to Jesse at once. He cannot play the guitar and in fact has never touched one in his life before this moment. He cannot carry a tune in a bucket. One time, he’d been singing in the car and his little sister Brigit, who’d then been ten years old, had very solemnly pulled a five dollar bill out of her backpack and handed it to him, informing him she was bribing him ‘cash money’ to stop. And finally, in just a moment, he’s going to play a chord, or open his mouth to sing a note, and irreversibly, inescapably, profoundly let every one of these thousands upon thousands of people down. 
Jesse hasn’t had the dream since before the draft. He’d walked up on the stage when his name had been called, selected third overall out of hundreds of talented young players hoping this would be their big shot to make it into the League, and accepted the jersey and hat handed to him by the Phoenixes general manager without a single slip-up. It was the exact opposite of the experience in the dream. So much so that he’d thought maybe the dream had just been him psyching himself out since he really got serious about making the League, some kind of subconscious hazing he’d been inflicting on himself. 
It’s not until after the draft, when he’s milling awkwardly around the hall in a surreal haze surrounded by families in fancy clothing and reporters with flashing cameras and little recorder microphones, that Jesse realizes he'd been premature on deciding that one. If the dream was meant to prepare him for anything, it wasn’t the draft. It was everything that followed. Every day he steps out of the hotel room he’s been calling home for the last couple weeks, Jesse feels like he does in the dream when the shove propels him forward onto the stage. It’s like even the walls in the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul have grown eyes, and every pair of them is trained on him. 
During the rookie showcase, there had been a reassuring degree of anonymity that had helped Jesse feel a little less like he was living a waking version of that dream. Every person there is in the same uniform, the Phoenixes standard gear complete with a blank practice jersey and helmet, none of which had a name or number attached. There, he’d just been another kid with skates on his feet and big dreams in his head, surrounded by fifteen or so others exactly like him. It isn’t until he’s at the first day of training camp, a freshly signed contract placing him in the slim ranks of players who were signed to teams their first year before ever playing a single minute of a game on League ice and a jersey screaming his last name in all-caps across his shoulders, that the feeling comes back. Everyone’s eyes are on him again, and this time it’s worse, because those eyes are the eyes of the Phoenixes.

Tutorial on how to convert a object with 2 textures!
Okay so i havent seen anyone make a tutorial about this i know @gruesim did a few years ago but i will do one aswell idk i just what to lol anyways,,,hope this help!
Step 1:
Tumblr media
if you open the mesh in blender tou will see in the little box where it says texture that there is 2 textures export them both aswell as them mesh  And when you see in blender the file will have 2 objects or meshes in the side panel 
Tumblr media
Click on one mesh and hold shift to select the other one now exsport them out of blender as a ,obj file
STEP 2:
Now open milkshape and import the object you just exported out of blender
Tumblr media
the object will show up as s4studio_mesh_0 and 1 in milkshape as it was in blender  now always rename the main part of object is the way i can put i as group_0 
Tumblr media
now this it the main part of my  object that will have different swatches rename it to group_0 and the other part as group_1 After renaming your objects export it our as a tsrw object for it to be able to import into TRSW 
STEP 3:
Now open TSRW (NOTE NEWER VERTIONS OF TSRW WILL NOT DO IT YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD A OLD VERTION YOU CAN FIND HERE) you have to pick a reference mesh depending on your object you making, I normally pick a small plant if its a decor object  After you choose your reference object,delete the shadow group that is group_0 i normaly do that sins i dont always like the shaddows
Tumblr media
Right click and click remove a pop up will come up and just click yes After you removed the shaddow group right click again and click on duplicate  a pop up will come up and just click yes again now the new groups name will also be group_0,right click again and click on rename to group_1
It should look like this now
Tumblr media
 now for the medium detail you do the same but DONT DELETE THE GROUP_0 JUST RIHGHT CLICK AND DUPLICATE THE GROUP! boom there we go :D
STEP 4:
Time to import the mesh you just exported out of milkshape as a .tsrw fike
Tumblr media
now mine is imported click on the 3 small dots next to material by group_1  this will pop up
Tumblr media
click on phong and it will drop down a bunch of crap 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Click on phong alpha and a pop up will come up just click yet now after that click on alpha phong again and click back on phong the pop up will come back and just click yes again
now it will look like this
Tumblr media

I read Time Enough yesterday from start to finish (yes I had other things to do, no that did not stop me) and I am still thinking about it. I left a little comment but I wanted to say more. (Sorry if this is a bit incomprehensible, I'm Very tired)
Your angst is always written in such an immersive and impressive way, but this story in particular hit so strongly. I thought it was so well done. Everything Daichi did and felt was so believable. And the feelings of having to move through a life like that was absolutely heart breaking. The relationships were so believable and idk how to phrase it other than genuine? Realistic?
It was just such an intense and beautiful piece, and Daichi's journey/cycle of monotony to acting out to trying to find stability again was so well done and so relatable. I was right along with him at one point like "obviously he has to learn a lesson here, but come on he did! He's trying to live life more!" Only to realize at the end that he still really wasn't, not really, not in the way that really allowed him to appreciate it. It wasn't that he needed to appreciate life by acting more or less predictable, it's that he needed to learn to appreciate life by appreciating his own, by learning to take care of himself, by asking for help and letting others take care of him. I've read several of your stories now where this is a major theme for him and I was STILL too immersed in his mindset to see it right away! That's very good writing imo <3
If you want to answer (ik some people don't like explaining story choices and that's fine too! I have my theories) what moment in that last day was it that broke the loop? Or was there no one moment, but just the process of the day itself and those leading up to it that did it?
First, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely and sincere ask in my inbox. You've got my giggling and kicking my feet like a child on christmas. It means so much that someone like you is reading and appreciating my work 🤍🤍
Second, I dont mind answering at all! I know a few others had speculated regarding the circumstances of the time loop so I can definitely share my decision making process
[Spoilers for literally nearly every chapter of Time Enough below, if you havent read it yet.]
And the answer is... Nothing.
Though that doesnt mean it wasnt intentional on my part, that nothingness means something to me.
The logic of the time loop is simply "sometimes time gets stuck in a loop, and unfortunately this time Daichi is aware of it." There is no real reason why it breaks on that specific day that it does, it could have just as easily broken the day before or the day after or in twelve years.
While I played around with the idea of Daichi having to "break" it in some way, there was no version of that that didnt position someone in his life as more important than another, or incite further questions about the universe. (although it does make me giggle imagining if the second half took a sharp left turn into Daichi and Oikawa hunting and fighting aliens.)
You could read this story as a metaphor for depression or burnout, optionally.
The truth is, every choice Daichi made always mattered. Each day did not come with definitive evidence that it would loop again into the next, it just coincidentally did for approximately two years. As suddenly and jarringly as it breaks in the 11th chapter, that could have been any chapter. Thats why so many end with the 00:00 moment, because it wasn't a given and it was important to mention. What would have happened if it had broken after he's slept with and romanced Oikawa? [Would he have pursued this new connection? left it as a one night stand? how would his life have moved forward after that kind of insane connection as Oikawa would believe he had his time loop experience?] What would have happened if it had broken after Tendou had been hit by the truck? [Tendou would be dead - what will he tell anyone?] What if it had broken after punching Iwaizumi? While he's standing, frostbitten in Iceland? After any random day he thought didnt matter? After he kills himself?
Daichi was never any more safe from his consequences in the loop as he was in linear time, he just got lucky.
And thats the point. How many times have you [the reader] skipped a class because its "boring and repetive?" phone in an essay because its "just" 10%? declined to hang out with a friend you havent seen in a while because "eh, maybe next weekend."
Choices always matter. Even if you think you have calculated the worst possible end, every single day has the ability to dramatically shift the direction of your life if you use it right. There is no such thing as a day that doesnt matter.
As a metaphor for depression and burnout, you're absolutely right. Daichi's loop is broken the moment he tells Suga that he'll let him take care of him. The moment he admits there's a problem and makes a promise he intends to keep. The act of loving and being loved in return is scary and difficult but sometimes it is the only way to succeed. [Its important here to mention that this is not romantic love I refer to.] And that means trying. Agreeing to do something you think is pointless [Daichi doesnt believe a psychiatrist can help; its a time loop] but he trusts Suga anyway and agrees sincerely.
As a story, it was nothing anyone did.
Daichi just got lucky that when the loop broke he was safe and surrounded by people who would care for him.
Free will and individual agency are massive themes in my stories and perhaps thats just a product of my own current age and experience. I think in a lot of ways I havent quite gotten the hang of it myself even if I understand it in my mind. Understanding it intuitively is a lot harder.
But it gets a little bit easier for me when I can write it out and share it with people like you who care as much for these characters and stories and appreciate them in the same way.
Thank you so much for asking <3 Inbox is always open and yall can message me any time if you wanna chat about anything to just scream. [The chickens in my brain will do their best to scream back.]

you know, ive never actually talked about my detective princes au much here. the main idea is pretty simple: naoto moves to tokyo around the 2nd or 3rd palace of P5R to do his own investigation. i think he'd pretty quickly catch on to something fishy happening with the thieves, right? since he has experience in supernatural world shenanigans, after the inaba murders.
i could talk about it for so long but to keep this post from being practically a fanfiction, i'll keep the point on this — through the investigation he mainly works with akechi, and after everything is over, i always love to think they move back to inaba together. like his own rehabilitation, mirroring akira's.
honestly, it's mostly because... i don't know, akechi instantly coming back to the thieves after p5 just seems strange to me? i think it's very out of character for both him and them. i definitely think he'd talk to some of them after some time, but they would need a lot of distance. some recovery for both groups is more than needed. (but to be fair, i imagine them believing akechi is dead through this time, so i don't know how much it'd actually help LMAO)
but i digress. i admit it'd take a lot for this to work too. problem 1: naoto would definitely know everything akechi's done at this point — why in the world would he forgive a mass murderer and bring him back to his hometown? problem 2: on akechi's side, why would HE agree to this? if royal proved anything, it's that if akechi lives at all, he believes he should repent for his crimes, and running away is hardly repenting. (huge emphasis on the if he lives at all.)
i have thought about this! solution 1: maybe i'm crazy, but i do think naoto would see the gray area in akechi. he isn't like the inaba murderer, who was childishly bitter with the world around him for little reason. i'm not saying he wouldn't be mad at akechi at all, he absolutely would, but i think he would kind of get it. it's a detective prince thing: i think they just have that ability to see through each other in a lot of ways. a kind of "they understand each other more than anyone else could". that's my favorite thing about them, i think. because they really are kinda similar. their circumstances changed them, for better or for worse. especially with the kind of bonding i imagine they did over the span of his stay in tokyo, i imagine naoto would be hesitant to throw that away so easily. (in this scenario, naoto would have moved to tokyo on his own after staying in inaba with friends for a few years. he still isn't the greatest at making new friends, so of course he'd like someone who already stands on common ground with him, another detective prince. and it would just grow from there.)
but akechi is a murderer. what if he did something horrible in inaba? this is probably a silly concern knowing akechi like we do, but i imagine it'd be a real one for naoto, or at least the investigation team. solution 1.5: i think he'd be able to trust him. akechi committed his crimes working for shido, and with him gone, he'd have no motive to do anything. that's important, especially for a detective. he also did everything through the metaverse (which would be gone) and was repulsed at seeing the effects in the real world (remember the scene where he almost pukes at the sight of okumura? now that i think about it, that's actually a kinda funny comparison to the inaba murderer who i havent been naming because p4 spoilers are unnecessary but you probably know them. anyway,)
moreover, the fact that naoto is placed in the p5 storyline here... it means this would be the second time he's seen the world almost end. can you imagine what that would do to someone. i think he'd value lives a little more, i dunno.
solution 2: honestly, i can't think of many reasons akechi would accept, other than simply the strength of that bond winning out. which is lovely and all, yeah i definitely think he would appreciate naoto after it's all said and done, eventually, but ive thought of one more option and it's cooler to me: a duel. he's really competitive (they both are). a battle with such high stakes would surely interest him. you know how he wanted so badly to see akira go all out? this would give that to him, not for akira, but for someone he respects deeply, a huge role model for him. the idea of that is DELICIOUS. they would duel, akechi would lose and hold up his end of the deal. (by the way, i imagine this taking place while the phantom thieves are fighting yaldabaouth)
but, above all, after all of that, just... the idea of akechi finally getting to rest is really nice. away from much of the spotlight in such a small town, with someone who understands him and wants him around, i think it'd be really healing for him. we all know he needs it. it'd be a transitional period for sure — a time of peace before he returns to fulfill his promise to akira.

Finally watching Spiral! Considering I spend a lot of time thinking about the Saw series I should have watched this a long time ago.
Onto reactions!
Ew, the two things I hate most: sewers, and public port-a-potties. I loath using port-a-potties.
Oooh, updated realistic pig mask! I like!
Ah, the tongue trap I've seen in so many thumbnails. It's even worse when you see hes hanging by his tongue over some kind of flimsy little stool.
Going back to the old box TVs? Must have raided a goodwill.
New voice sounds weird, not sure if I'm okay with it. You'll see.
Okay, pretty iconic sequence right off the bat. Super uncomfortable looking trap, good buildup, lots of blood. A real saw movie.
My rebuttal to Chris Rock's rant about Forrest Gump is that Jenny did not ask Forrest to do any of that and... oh shit, it's the po-po. But I guessed Rock was a cop from the promotional material but this was a good reveal.
So 12 years ago was the Saw 6 and 7 era. That was a time where people would have wanted dirty cops turned in. Hoffman was on a fucking killing spree, gotta nip them in the bud.
It's nice to know that if my dead body was ever found, the cops would immediately take me seriously because my fitbit would tell them that I'm not unhoused.
Jigsaw used an old ass tv in the trap but a USB stick for the video. I guess it's near impossible to find any tapes or tape players.
Putting bad cops in traps... I like this.
That box that guys tongue, isnt it? Yep.
"Damn n**** wash your hands" she told him to get out, he can use hand sanitizer.
Wow, such realism. Someone turns in a cop doing bad things and now they're the bad guy. It's almost like the cops are protecting bad cops.
Is this the first time we meet a victims wife or family member after their death? No one usually gives a shit about them. Good expansion.
"I heard about Boz. You alright?" "No, I'm all fucked up". First time I've seen someone fully admit to being distraught over the death of a friend.
"Dont drain my battery watching Twilight" what is this, 2009??? Wait, is this 2009?! Is this like Jigsaw where- oh wait, they just showed them with smartphones, my bad.
I forgot to turn in subtitles, they make watching movies so much easier for me. And now I can spell everyones names right.
You're looking for a copycat of Jigsaw, the guy who kidnaps and tortures 'bad' people, and you walk into an abandoned building alone? You deserve to die now. The message from earlier even specified that they were going after crooked cops.
Oooh, this trap looks interesting. I havent seen any images of it before.
Zeke, stop trying to ruin other peoples marriages. Not everyone needs to be as miserable as you.
Tip your delivery driver!
DONT FUCKING TOUCH THE BOX AND USB BOX WITHOUT GLOVES. ITS FUCKING EVIDENCE.
I see, the pig theme is being used to mock the police here.
TOUCHING EVIDENCE WITHOUT GLOVES. AGAIN.
OH NOW YOU PUT THEM ON
And now I see it, all the cops that hate Zeke are also bad cops. It's almost like the force is full of bad cops and when the one good cop turns one in, they get ostracized.
I'm trying to see the point of the cage on Fitch's head. Maybe to keep him from chewing through the wires around his fingers.
I know someone who almost lost her finger during an archaeological dig. An accident with a sawhorse I think. She still can't watch hand trauma scenes.
"John Kramer didn't target cops" Eric Matthews, Rigg, Straum, Perez, Carrie... Hoffman only got involved because of his fake trap.
Okay, what is Banks Sr out doing?
ZEKE! GLOVES!
Dont you have bomb sniffing dogs? Have one take a whiff, easy.
It's the skin from someones head- SCHENK. I LIKED YOU.
Wait, theres always a mole in these movies, someone on the inside pulling strings. Schenk is new, too new to have done anything too corrupt. The only way to positively identify the body would be with dental records. That might take a minute to obtain and analyze.
Okay, I may have seen a small spoiler a few months ago about who is the mole, but I cant positively remember if it was Schenk or not.
They must be raiding antique stores now to get these tape players.
'Sever your spine or get covered in hot wax'? Really thinking outside the box here.
One killer to make a diversion, one to trap Angie? Banks Sr and Schenk working together?
I'm going to be totally wrong and suckerpunched out of left field, arent I?
Yes, he is too close to this. He needs to be taken off the case and given a horse tranquilizer.
WAIT THE FIRST SMARTPHONES CAME OUT IN 2007. THIS COULD BE 2009. I forgot to pay attention to anything that could date the time period.
Banks Sr walked into that one... literally.
As a cop, you should be trained to pick a handcuffs lock, just because. Oh wait, do you know how to pick handcuffs? Holy shit, you have a useful skill.
Oh, hi Pete. I guess someone stole Pete's badge and password to erase the footage. Zeke should have realized that Pete would not have walked into the police station with everyone knowing who he is.
I guess we are in a recycling plant?
Zeke just jumps in and starts helping. See, Jeff? I mean, Pete is bleeding out the mouth so hes 100% dead but Zeke did his best.
Yay, Schenk is alive!
CHARLIE
Wait, wouldnt they have noticed that the tattoo was fresh? Fresh tattoos look different from healed ones. Schenk's tattoo is healed and old.
You know you die waaaaay before all 1.5 gallons are drained.
HE MADE HIM INTO A PUPPET
Oh hey, this was Bousman? Nice to see you back in the saddle. Great quality work this time.
Holy shit, I'm feeling super emotional. Great use of the Saw theme at the end there, great payoff to everything. I literally said 'pulling the strings' earlier without realizing how true it is.
I say this is a great offshoot to the Saw storyline. John Kramer is not involved, he only inspired the killing spree. The title is great because Schenk leaned into the spiral motif to emphasize a symbol used by Jigsaw that was not Billy. 'From the book of Saw' is giving me 'Cult of John Kramer' vibes, which I like. It shows how he was so influential as a serial killer who targeted 'bad' people in an attempt to reform them that other people began to copy him. I can see so many others trying to be the next Jigsaw. Of course, Schenk did all of this for personal reasons to seek revenge. Besides Cecil, Kramer actually wanted people to survive and be reformed. I dont think Hoffman cared if people won or lost, but he still made all the traps survivable. One step up from Amanda.
I'm now super interested to see where Saw X takes us. Saw in spaaaaace? Smashing someones face with liquid nitrogen? Uber-Jason?
