"I met you tomorrow" - The Corinthian x GN!Reader

🫀REQUESTS ARE OPEN🫀

A/N: did my best to make it gender-non-specific but if I have missed any detail please do message me!🌺 Also Lovecraft reference bc I love Cthulu Mythos

SUMMARY: You have a recurring nightmare in which a stranger shows up and tells you to wake up. Then one day you run into a weirdly familiar man, who seems to know you.

WORDCOUNT: ~ 1.8k

They say that all faces seen in dreams are faces one had seen before - that a human mind simply cannot invent a new visage. What people foolishly omit while sharing such wisdom is that time does not work the same in the Dream World as it does in the Waking World. Yes, aside from faces past, one might stumble upon a face from the future. Maybe that's what happened to you?

You couldn't quite remember when was the first time you dreamt that nightmare but ever since it has been stuck to you like a thistle to a sweater. At least once a week you'd find yourself back at your secondary school, after hours with a creature of darkness looming in the corner of your eyes. You always run even though each time you looked around the corner or over your shoulder, there was completely nothing. Despite that, you could feel those disgusting tentacles of eldritch malice reaching out to grab you. What happens when the entity catches you - you never knew as you always wake up before it can happen. Not that you would want to find out. The nightmare was always so severe and realistic that you grew to fear the darkness and shadows of the Waking World even if your reason assured you that the shapeless terror was but a figment of your imagination.

There's that strange man in the nightmare - he always tells you to wake up or stand up and fight against the malice that haunts you. He always wears light-coloured clothes and carries a straw Panama hat with him. Despite your utmost terror at the creature reaching out to grab you and pull you into the endless pit of sorrow and fear, the strange man is always relaxed, amused even. You often run into him as he sits in the empty canteen or in one of the deserted classrooms, sipping on a colourful drink with an umbrella. There's a strange feeling of safety and reassurance whenever he's around as if some part of you knew that the formless malice couldn't hurt you while the stranger was there. Sometimes he'd remind you that it was only a dream and you had nothing to fear, while other times he'd have a small chat with you before pulling out something from his jacket and giving it to you: a knife, a gun (even a water gun once), a flare and many others. No matter what manner of weaponry he gifts you, it always works like a charm - the terrible beast of old retreats into its den in the land of misery and you wake up to sunlight crawling into your bedroom.

That night wasn't like any other: you were running through the dull, twisted and deserted corridors of the school. You could hear the slapping and slurping of tentacles slithering across the linoleum floor. Every now and then one of the famished maws would bite loudly at the air, their crooked fangs clicking against one another as if Hell could have its own doorbell. And yet, each time you dared to look over your shoulder, the corridors remained empty. The only sound that echoed throughout the building was your own rushed footsteps.

It was hard to breathe. No matter how deep of a breath you took, your lungs could only inhale a little air like something was constricting your airways. Your chest burned as you panted, never slowing down your maniacal escape even if your legs burned. Tired and with hopelessness gnawing at your heart, you stumbled over your own feet.

But before you could hit the ground, too tired and slow to resume your run from the shapeless demon hunting you, someone caught you. To your own surprise, your eyes were met with a suit jacket in the familiar creamy-beige colour. You looked up only to see the stranger you've grown somehow attached to. He was chewing spearmint gum and smiling at you in a fond yet nonchalant manner.

"It's you," you said quietly as if you couldn't quite believe your own eyes. But truthfully, how could you be surprised? After all, he's always been there - every time you were running from that beast you knew nothing about.

In a joking manner, the man looked down inspecting his body and clothes before looking back at you. "I should hope so," he answered with amusement seeping from his voice.

Gratefully using the support he kindly offered, you stood once again on your own feet. The wet, disgusting slush resounded far away, deep inside the building and surely far away from you. That man... in his presence, the sounds of the nightmare's slithering across the floor didn't strike fear in your heart. There was a strange sensation of illusive safety around him as if the security he provided was merely the product of other creatures' fear of him. As somebody once had elegantly put it: "There's always a bigger fish".

"Who are you, really?" you asked. It was a question you could never quite let go, something that bothered you anytime you were running through those deserted halls. Yes, who could he be? Even more importantly: why was he?

"Take a guess."

"Casper the Friendly Ghost?" Perhaps it was strange to stop by and tell jokes while the shapeless, eldritch terror was still after you but you knew this segment of your nightmare a little too well - the man's presence always happened at the very end of the night terror. The dawn was close and so was the relief it brings you.

The man let out a breathy chuckle. Maybe he didn't find it funny but it surely was entertaining to him in some way. "Quite the contrary, actually. I'm more of a... nightmare if you will."

You couldn't help but laugh at his words. Maybe if he said them with a little more seriousness, you would have been inclined to believe him. There was nothing horrible about the stranger but perhaps that was the most severe weapon of them all: the beautiful colours of a Heliamphora. And yet, staring into the gaping mouth of a lion, you never once felt threatened by its teeth.

"Of course you are a nightmare. You’re a little too alluring to be something good."

The corner of his mouth pulled up in an amused smirk. "Are you flirting with me?"

"Is it working?"

"I don't know, I think you need to indulge me a little more."

"So, what do you propose we do about it?" you diverted the conversation while vaguely pointing at the corridor behind you.

The Corinthian looked over your shoulder for a mere moment, the furrow of his eyebrows disappearing as swiftly as it had appeared. "Shub-Niggurath?" he asked. His voice was slightly raised in confusion as if he never thought of taking any action against the mass of teeth and tentacles. "Nah, I wouldn't mind him. We're not on good terms and he knows exactly how well it went for him the last time he got under my skin."

"Wait, you guys are like colleagues or something? Friends?"

"More like brothers from another mother. The same father though."

There was, however, something else still on your mind. By his slightly raised eyebrows, you could tell he knew but decided to wait instead of coaxing the curiosity out of you.

"Can I ask you something else?"

"Shoot."

"Why do we keep meeting here?"

"Truthfully, I find you fascinating." The Corinthian was also painfully bored but confessing that part of his non-existent heart could make you a little too reluctant towards him for his liking: there were many things you and he were yet to do. "I've seen Shub-Niggurath's work and most of the dreamers are too scared to fall asleep ever again. And yet you come back regularly, fighting or running but always refusing to give up. I'm not sure if you're brave or reckless."

"Recklessness requires bravery, doesn't it?"

He stared at you for a moment with a smile dancing across his face. The silence felt enigmatic for you weren't sure what to expect from a man like him but it never once was awkward or tense. "Well, I suppose we'll have to reschedule our little chat," the stranger spoke up finally. "It's time for you to go. Rise and shine, sweetheart."

As all things dreamy and ethereal, the vividness of the school corridors and the man with a Panama hat disappeared when you opened your eyes. Until you dream of them again, they were to remain but a grain of sand on the beach of forgetting - a memory once remembered. Remnants of the terror you've experienced were still leaving your body and mind as you sat up on your bed, panting heavily. Each time you closed your eyes to blink you'd see a passing mirage of the bleak corridors and a shapeless mass of teeth and jointless limbs extending towards you. The small lamp on your bedside table was still on like you left it in the evening. Behind the curtains, the sky was still a beautiful shade of deep blue but stars were no longer brightening the dark firmament - dawn was approaching in hasty strides.

Knowing that the night couldn't offer you any more rest, you got dressed and decided to walk through the sleeping city. There was a certain tranquil melancholy, if not a sense of loneliness, to observing life yet to wake up. For a moment, all those people were as one, no grievances or anger remained in their hearts. Their minds weren't stained with the vapid burden of existence that weighs them down during their waking hours.

"Can't sleep?" you heard someone ask behind you.

You turned around only to see a man you felt you should recognize. He was dressed in a light-coloured suit and wore blackout sunglasses despite the Sun not having risen yet - the sky was becoming lighter over the Eastern horizon. During such early morning hours, the weather is rather vicious, cold and windy, and the man looked to be dressed a little too lightly for such time and circumstances. Despite that, he didn't appear to be cold.

The strange feeling wouldn't leave your thoughts. It was hard to put it into words really - it felt as if you had once known him, in some another time and another place; like you once remembered that you used to remember him as if the memory of him was woven into the dust of your bones. Perhaps it was that strange, subliminal familiarity that rid you of hesitation or reluctance in approaching him.

"I'm afraid of what I might see there," you answered him. It was an eccentricity you had grown used to: you knew there was something terrifying in your dreams but you could never quite recall what it was exactly.

"Oh, I'm sure you're being missed there, sweetheart." It wasn't a complete lie, not really. The Corinthian did miss having you in his own dominion, in the world where he held the most power over you. "I know I would."

"Are you flirting with me?"

"Is it working?"

"I don't know, I think you need to indulge me a little more."

To your best knowledge, the two of you were the only witnesses to the glory of a waking Sun. And in his first act of mercy, the Golden God washes human fears away along with the darkness of the night.

Veronica and Cady for the character thingy plss

DID I NEVER POST THIS HOLY SHIT OOPS

eeep i just found this and don’t remember when i got it i’m sorry friend!! i’m assuming this is for the list and not the bingo but if i’m wrong i’ll do it again lol

ok i have to do cady first bc it won’t let me type beneath veronica’s picture so woo i love it here soooo much /s

CADY

favorite thing about them

she has so much depth! i love how adorable she is and how bubbly and high energy and yet soft spoken and sweet she is but she also has a dark and vindictive streak in her that’s really fun to play with. also she’s like really fun to torture sometimes lol whoops

least favorite thing about them

again i hate how many people she uses for her own gain and how power hungry she gets

favorite line

“shuck! i started to say shoot and i almost said fu-” for funnies and uhhh

“fearless is the one thing i can be now, no friends, nothing to lose” and whatnot for like more emotional. also all of i see stars i still get misty every time i listen to it

brOTP

damiaaaaan. they wear matching outfits whenever they can, damian comes over to cadnis’ house for movie nights twice a week at least, they watch bootlegs together without janis bc she doesn’t like them. just. mwah. i could go off but i’ll hold back lol

OTP

TAKE A WILD GUESS DUDE

nOTP

aaron. they only worked bc of erikyle. if i could drop kick every other aaron into the road i would.

random headcanon

she can talk backwards!

unpopular opinion

there’s a point where she is fully aware of what she’s doing and how wrong it is and she actively chooses to continue for a hot second until the burn book being released and whatnot snaps her out of it that people do not talk about enough. i know i’m guilty of it too but she is not all innocent and naive and coerced into this shit like she’s a full teenager she knows damn well what she’s doing

song i associate with them

a change in me from beauty and the beast which hath inspired many a fic in my early days. at the plaza from the violet hour loosely inspired i’ll be there for christmas. like very loosely. uhhh and i think the like vibes of true love from frozen (or basically anything anna sings lol) even if it’s not necessarily the same meaning

favorite picture of them

i picked two for both her and veronica bc iiiim greedy lol

alright well one of cady’s is with ronnie for some fuckass reason thanks tumblr!!! i tried i swear

VERONICA

favorite thing about them

honestly this isn’t as much to do with her as a character as it is to do with the people who’ve played her but she has done so much for my self esteem in a really roundabout way. as someone with dark brown eyes and frizzy kinda untamable brown hair reading fic about her helped me appreciate more things about myself.

if you struggle with self image i really cannot recommend highly enough finding a character who looks and acts like you and reading stories where someone is absolutely, irrevocably in love with them. whether that’s platonically or romantically. i know it’s weird but being able to look in the mirror or at some aspect of my personality that i don’t like and say “that’s still lovable” is WONDERFUL.

least favorite thing about them

i despise the way she treats martha and also baby girl is kind of a doormat!! she’s one of those shitty wicker doormats that scratches the hell outta your feet but like dang!!

favorite line

not a line but her face in the musical when jd and kurt and ram start fighting

but also the way barrett delivers the “oH MY GOD!” over chandler’s corpse is immaculate

and i had one of her like super iconic ones everyone knows in my head but now i can’t remember it siiiigh

brOTP

marthaaaaa buddies since babies. also like. still alive and post MUCH therapy jd has a lot of fun potential

OTP

poly heathers!! but to put them individually in order, mac, chandler (those two are almost tied), duke

nOTP

JD. i know he goes by his initials and that’s just his name but i was trying to yell that. i do not like him i think he stinky get him outta there

random headcanon

she’s not allowed to wear pants with drawstrings anymore because she’s gotten stuck in them too many times. also she’s not allowed to use superglue bc she’s glued her fingers together too many times.

yes both of these are true of me shut up

unpopular opinion

she’s a lot weaker than most people think and a lot stronger than most people think st the same time

and i’m not always a huge fan of her being autistic i think she’s just that painfully awkward and dense

song i associate with them

it is so much harder than you would think to pick songs that are not from their shows?? like the only one in my head is i’m blue dabadeedabadie like i don’t KNOW OKAY

favorite picture of them

#the joys of tumblr mobile #lawd #anyway thank you friend!! #entropy with ezzy #ezzy gets an ask #cady heron #veronica sawyer #mean girls #heathers #caps tw #swear tw

RI WHATS YOUR TOP3 ALBUM OF BTS ?! i desperately wanna know

THIS ASK IS FREAKING EVIL WHAT THE HELL???????? (love it though thank you) uaghghghhhhhh including solo albums as well would tear me to pieces, so i'll stick to group albums. (also i'm listening to born singer as i read this and trying not to sobbbb)

honestly. love yourself 轉 tear is absolutely incredible. like. actually. every single song is an absolute banger. not to mention, the first album (not just bts) i ever received. but ly: her gives me insane nostalgia as well bc it was the album that released around the time i joined the fandom, even though i'd listened to bs&t and save me and stuff before that. AND IT'S SO UNDERRATED!!!!! the summer vibes are immaculate give my girl her props!! the entire ly series is insaneeee but i'm gonna choose love yourself: tear. even though it's tearing me apart wth

of the hyyh albums, young forever seems like the best choice bc it compiles some of the best songs (though i hate that a couple get left behind ;_;) and!! it has young forever (the song) aka the song that makes me wanna live and die every time i hear it. plus butterfly prologue mix and house of cards full length edition. they did not have. to do that. ;_; overall the vibes of the hyyh albums are freaking UNMATCHED. nothing ever can touch them tbh. i remember listening to baepsae, dope, and fire back to back when i first got into them haha, and then discovering the rest was... an experience. my soul leaves my body listening to hyyh to this day

they just. they have so many amazing albums. not at least mentioning the map of the soul albums, wings/you never walk alone, dark & wild, be, and the japanese albums feels like a crime. but listen. we've gotta go back to the start for the last pick. skool luv affair. back-to-back bangers. just. woah. those seven kids did not have to go that hard. like. just one day? tomorrow? spinebreaker? but also!!!! o!rul8,2? ;;;____;;;; we on, if i ruled the world, coffee, attack on bangtan????????? 2 cool 4 skool is also full of bangers tbh but it only includes three fully-fledged songs so.. but i cannot choose between skool luv affair and o!rul8,2? just. the kids they were back then deserved so much more than they got. so much more. the industry failed them so badly. i will choke with my own hands every exec who had a hand in (actively or not) holding them back when they were that good and should have been recognised. the sheer hatred i feel towards everyone who screwed them over (and continues to screw them over) cannot be put into words

tl;dr: love yourself 轉 tear, the most beautiful moment in life: young forever, skool luv affair/o!rul8,2?

basically i am feral and this isn't even a ranking, really, just me screaming and crying about their albums bc they're ALL good and that fact makes me AHHHHHH. i'm so freaking happy bts exists. that they found each other. also i'm catching up with new releases after taking a break from bangtan, and the solo albums are so good??????? I'M LOSING IT THEY'RE SO GOODDDDDDD AJFJDKSFMDSKMFD i just need a jin solo album now please please pleaseeeeeeeee ofc if he doesn't want to work on music the instant he comes back from the army, i fully support that!!! i would cherish a full album though... the astronaut awakened feelings i didn't know i had within me and i .

#uaghghghgh #thank you for the ask beloved #i hate a terribly :D great time #ginkgo-shaw #bangtan sonyeondan #askbox #mine

[numetalpuppygirl]

what i'm listening to 7/6/2023 (song notes under cut)

spot. link//yt link

Laura Les - Haunted: haunted. by laura les.

Radiohead - Hunting Bears: have you guys noticed that i like amnesiac. links to this post. this is one of the best album interludes of all time

Tallah - No One Should Read This: HRHGGHRHGHHH. fucking crunchyyyy this is one of my favorite albums ever. it's corny as fuck but also really dark and heavy and just ahhhh i love it and this is such a good opener. despite any of the band's faults i will always be a shill for this album. i was talking to violet (hi violet heheh oops i dropped this) about the album a little bit and i decided i simply had to include this bc well frankly i'm jamming to it as i type this :3

Cypress Hill - I Ain't Goin' Out Like That: there's a lot of 90sishness going on in this list. lovvve cypress hill and this whole album. the hook is super catchy but also kind of ridiculous, and there's so many good lines. if you dig harder rap stuff definitely give black sunday a spin, i think it might have been one of the first rap albums i ever bought a physical copy of

Polaris - The Remedy: okay i've been going through my whole giant playlist on account of this business, so it's only fitting that i feature the song that's at the very tippity top of the thang. polaris is a damn solid progressive metalcore type band, and i remember when they broke out in 2017/18 with this album everybody in the scene was talking about them as rising stars. they didn't disappoint, imo, bc the album that came after that was pretty solid too. they did get a lot of comparisons to architects, who are much more seasoned in the scene, and i definitely hear it: the pitchy false chord screams, the djenty riffs, big but not poppy choruses. BUT i think two things worked out for them in that regard. one was that architects were white hot around that time because they put out holy hell, which was very well-regarded (because it good), so it wasn't too bad a thing to be compared to them. the other was that after holy hell dropped, wage war put out a single (low) that had basically the same riff as the architects' big single (doomsday). so they kinda caught all the shit on that one lol. ah the old days (<does not miss this time period)

Girls Rituals - Babe of the Abyss: ummmm.hi 😳

Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch: stupid dumb dumb dummy dumb stupid ass blppppt dumbass fuckin song. it's kinda awesome though. a large part of my interest in this one is to do with its pertinence to rap rock, or rather, its lack of pertinence. in my obsession with the timeline of rap rock, i like to be able to sort as much as possible into neat little categories. east coast hip hop, funk metal, nu metal, emo rap, etc. but what's also interesting is when something comes along that doesn't fit any trend at all. it's a total anomaly, a hit only on its own merits, whether those merits are musical strength or just being weird as fuck. in this case, it's definitely a bit of both. the bad touch isn't even really much of a rock song, it sounds more like dance beats, but the bloodhound gang are a rock band, and regardless you can tell just by listening to it which side of the music sphere they originate from. ughhh fascinating fascinating fascinating. and gross, if you listen to it. but mostly fascinating. 1999 babey. and that's the other thing - this was the age of nu metal. this isn't a nu metal song, but one has to wonder how much it was helped by the normalization of crossovers between rock and rap that nu metal was creating. okay moving on

Snoop Dogg - Gin and Juice: more 90s! but in this case? idk what you want me to say. it's fuckin gin and juice. no-one is immune to the d-o-double-g

Epic Rap Battles of History - Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible: come onnnn you knew i was gonna put some erb on here i feel like i've been mentioning them all month. this is a real good battle, very catchy. the first two verses from pete and zach, respectively, are definitely my favorites, and indeed alexander the great might be my favorite zach sherwin performance on erb. but the flute on the beat for frederick the great's part is a lot of fun, and catherine the great's verse is catchy as well. just overall solid and easy to rewatch. please save me from epic rap battle hell i am trapped here and they won't let me out until i recite every erb bar in chronological order

Vylet Pony - Constellation Cradle: vylet pony good. reallll good. this was one of those songs that i had heard however many times and been like yeah cool song :) and then at some point recently heard again and for some reason it just like. hit right. it had the right crunch. i was feeling it. i was loving it. i was chewing on it. vylet pony good

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Is This Love: another simple case of "heard it on the radio, got stuck in my head." at the same time, it's representative of the fact that i want to know more about reggae, considering my current knowledge of it is effectively 0. so what better place to start than the name that most people outside the reggae sphere most associate with the genre? so many good hits from bob marley, as we likely all know

Pearl Jam - Even Flow: pearl jam good idc. not my favorite of their songs but probably the catchiest. moving swiftly onward

Twenty One Pilots - Implicit Demand For Proof: i was inspired to revisit some of my favorite tracks from a formerly beloved band to me. despite the many issues one could take with their first album, that's the one i would feel most confident in standing up for. and, since i'm an opening track kinda girl, this one hit for me the most. iiii knowwww you're not a liar, and i knowwww you could set fire this dayyyyy. idk. definitely a christian song but like, not in the sense that we all kind of agree is shit. like it's a christian song but it's still actually a SONG, that's. ABOUT THINGS. just give it a shot maybe, if you like kinda indie rock. or don't. i can't tell you what to do i'm just a bunch of text on a screen

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic: did you guys notice that i like the beastie boys. like with even flow, this isn't my favorite beasties song but it's the one that's stuck in my head this month. and it is a damn good hit! some classic lines in here. look at this post

Zombie Girl - Creepy Crawler: i don't know shit about this song or artist!! this was an everynoise.com find on uhhh industrial metal i think. it sounds good :)

Steve Miller Band - Take The Money And Run: i'm so obsessed with that trainwreckords episode on run-d.m.c. i literally have just absorbed every song that todd even mentions in the video. i won't put that episode in the youtube playlist like i did last week but if you haven't watched it you should still do that

Epic Rap Battles of History - Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton: i know. i know. i know. stop looking at me like that. i know. i know, okay? i do. i'm sorry. but it's true. there's a lot of good lines and (more importantly) very catchy parts in this one too and i find myself bopping my head to them while i'm in the shower or whatever. if you don't like it, you should have saved me from the pit when you had the chance

Vanilla Ice - Rollin' In My 5.0: the ice-man just dropped a live video for this a little while ago so it's been on my mind. it's mostly interesting for two reasons. number 1 is that it's our only real insight into what vanilla ice album two might have been like if not for the rapid shift of popular trends. number 2 is that it has been deemed significant enough to be counted in the handful of songs that keep vanilla's music alive, despite being unknown to most people. i'm initerested in the idea of like a vanilla ice canon of Songs That Matter, and it contains like, ice ice baby (obviously), play that funky music, ninja rap, i love you, cool as ice, and so on. but there are just some more odd additions to that, and 5.0 is one of those

rawr - If Peppa Pig was a RAPPER: can i ask you guys for a favor. like, i realize that this list has 19 songs on it one way or another, bc that's the number of songs i use for every WILT. but can we all agree that this time, there's only 18 songs that are *formally* in the WILT, and this youtube-exclusive is like. a bonus track? great thanks. love you. anyways, have you noticed how these days youtube seems to recommend random 10-view videos that have just been uploaded? idk what's up with that, but that's how i found rawr, and frankly i've been having a blast with their videos. weird, silly little songs about wanting to marry various cartoon fathers or popular characters as rappers. this one is the latter, but honestly all of the ones i've listened to have overcome me with a feverish humor. it's not very tumblr humor imo but ultimately idek if my enjoyment of these could be described as comparable to finding them "funny." i just think it's beautiful that a channel with very little attention on it is uploading these ridiculous songs just for fun. just something to do. we could all take a lesson from this. or maybe not idk. i need to post this now good god

#*char noises* #talking pop #gwwerrwwfghhh egh

Bonfire jack-o'-lantern cinnamon and fireside! (@stabbyfoxandrew)

bonfire (describe your dream house) - okay kinda long answer because I’ve thought about this many times since once the interest rates are down i will likely be getting a house lmao. apologies for the long answer.

so I want a brick house, preferable the colors kinda muted. either gray and black brick or red and black. idk why it’s just nice to me. for the inside, I want a very open living room and a decently sized kitchen. at least probably 4-5 bedrooms so that if i choose to have or adopt kids they’d each get their own room AND I can keep having a game room/office. (Im in a two bedroom so it’s very convenient to keep all expensive electronics and a lot of my nerd shit away from the other rooms).

(doing a break here)

Id LOVE having a wall full of shelves with one of those ladders to have my own personal library to fill with books and trinkets. and a tall fence to have space for when I get a dog (not getting a dog in an apartment, I cannot consistently walk a dog on a leash and go to parks where I’m at). hopefully no neighbors super close they need to be a bit away from me

jack o’ lantern (if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?) - I already have a few celebrities that I’ve been told I look very similar to (and one who my best friend who once said I look so much like this actress she couldn’t comfortably watch a triggering show). but maybe sandra bullock? she’s one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen. i don’t do celebrity crushes but if I had to give one, it’d be her (or mariska hargitay!! another pretty pretty lady). I love them <3 genuinely the first two women I remember seeing and being like…woah beautiful lady. and I already have the same hair and eye color so it wouldn’t be like…drastically not me

cinnamon (if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?) - hmmmm not sure. not too far back because I want to have Rights, ya know? maybe gonna steal your answer @stabbyfoxandrew and say be an adult in 90s-00s. I do not want to live in my hometown bc it’s not at all progressive lmao. not sure where tho just maybe somewhere with a higher population but not a big city, idk. boring answer haha

fireside (if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?) - sooo I have a bit of an all over the place preferred styles and also a few things I specifically want. a few of my favorite styles are dark academia, a lot of black and baggy clothes (kinda emo style stuff), and I fucking loveeee sweaters too. I live in a hot and humid state AND I overheat so easily so I cannot wear my preferred clothes that much of the year, and dark academia stuff would be too much money right now for not a lot of use.

specific pieces!! I am dying to buy a few more pairs of highs top platform converse. I love those so much. AND I want a pair of platform doc martens. I have a normal pair but I want Stompy Boot. i also want to not have the issue where i have a primary every day shoe because I’m an anime character apparently and almost exclusively wear one pair of shoes for ages, and only swaps during the new season outfit change. currently they are my red high top platform converse. (before these it was my timberlands lmao).

SORRY THIS GOT SO LONG I JUST HAVE TOO MANY THINGS TO SAY IN MY ANSWERS

#you are not obligated to read all of this #I promise I know I am annoying #ask game #ask thea

[serenescribe]

for the new ask game!! hope you're having a fun day!

1/ my favorite fic of yours:

i want to say all of them but thats not how this works TvT so ill limit myself: anything you wrote for the selkie au (beloved selkie son <33), hollow moon (im still haunted whenever i see the moon outside), everything goes dark (i dont even know anything about feh?? but i fell in love with the setting and extreme dubious morality) and the silver sleeps for 100 years after mal's ob fic (utter hell; broke my heart and tore it to shreds. i will shatter like glass if i attempt to re-read it i think)

6/ something i remember vividly from reading one of your fics:

the flashbacks from 'everything goes dark' come back to haunt me every now and then. i vividly recall the growing dread i felt reading through them and the gut churning horror of reading those final ones; terribly fucked up lilia my beloved 🫶

7/ what made me the most emotional after reading:

two for nero got a visceral reaction out of me the first time i read it but what actually made me most emotional was the absolute descent into madness that hollow moon was. the build up of silver's condition and the way i kept going 'there's no way it can get worse' only to get proven wrong a few paragraphs later had my inside tied in knots and tears dripping down my face before i even got to the end ;;; ALSO that fic where lilias "i love you's" aren't enough to wake silver up anymore tore me apart. i still think about it a lot

12/ a fic of yours that ive re-read:

so many!! i re-read two for nero twice, i go back to the selkie fics a lot, also re-read the silver sickfic, the diasomnia cuddle pile anddd that's all ive got off the top of my head o/

Fanfic asks - for the askers

micaaaa my beloved!! i love our selkie au dearly and i still want to write more for it when i am not crushed under the weight of old english and essays :'D excellent picks for fav fics!! i'm glad to see some appreciation for everything goes dark bc i'm still very fond of that; i went a lot more descriptive than i usually do and i'm still quite happy with it!

again, i am so SO glad that hollow moon fucked people up. mission goddamn accomplished!! the way everyone was probably just like "it can't get worse" only for me to sledgehammer them with the next paragraph. truly a train wreck in the slowest possible speed. it really does get worse before it gets better. (and aaaa god that fic ;;; tore at my own heart while i was writing it)

happy to know that you reread some of my stuff <3 thank you for sending this in!! :D

#ask box #0rchidm4ntis #pops confetti yippeeeee mica time

Tagged by @banashee to post 10 of my favorite comfort movies and then tag 10 people, thanks! <3 just had a look at yours again after writing mine, we agree on LotR :D and adsfg I really need to watch Rocky Horror one of these days (I've seen it live before, but never the movie I think?? Oupsie xD fast ne Bildungslücke!)

1. Lord of the Rings (whole trilogy but if I have to choose one then Return of the King)

Comfort movie: battles and darkness and Winning

A++

2. Racing Stripes

(The film's in colour but it looks like this is the only gif I can find when I type in the title lmao)

One of a handful of taped movie me and my sister watched on repeat as a kid. Big nostalgia

3. Chestnut: Hero of Central Park

I can't find a gif for that one at all, but it's another cute kids movie I used to watch A Lot and still sometimes return to for the comfort of nostalgia and safety

4. Monte Carlo

I love all those silly switcharoo films, also the princess switch and its sequels etc, but Monte Carlo was the first one I watched and I still love to watch it for some mindless destress entertainment xD

Ummmm okay what else we got, I can't actually easily think of comfort!movies, I've got a whole bunch of comfort TV shows that come to mind, and movies I love but that aren't exactly /comfort/... *Goes through my Ao3 fandom list* no nothing clicks nothing clicks... Oh!

5. Pitch Perfect

Just the first one tbh, I mean the others are fun too but this one's a comfort film for me!

6. murder, she said

I adore Miss Marple, and this version of Miss Marple specifically! I've watched this one so many times :)

7. The Parent Trap

It's cute. Okay? It's cute xD and I've probably watched this version at least as often as the German one I'll add next, probably bc this one was on TV more often? Idk, I couldn't actually say which one I like more

8. Charlie & Louise

Again no gifs on here, but I adore this film! Also as you can maybe tell I'm actually running out of ideas and the Real comfort would be reading the book version of Das Doppelte Lottchen that both this and the parent trap are loosely based on xD my mom still has an old hardcover version and I've always adored that book, wished I had a twin whenever I read it as a kid!

9. Pride and Prejudice

Alright so th Colin Firth series version is better and the YouTube Lizzie's diaries or what it is is the best anyway but we're doing movies here and the Keira Knightley version Is definitely a comfort film for me so here goes

Ok so there are Definitely pride and prejudice gifs somewhere on tumblr. It just won't show them in the search results for sommme reason. Seems to be because it has the word 'pride' in it, because whenever I type that it switches to the 'create your own gif' error image. @staff what's up with that? Latent homophobia again?

10. Kyss Mig

First wlw film I ever watched, I still remember watching it (on mute, with English subtitles, there's no German or English dub anyway) in my parents' living room when I was 12 or so, with the computer display turned away from everyone else, actually pretending to be on tumblr (the rule was we had to be at least in the same room for evening family time even if I was uninterested in whatever movie or sports the others were watching but I was allowed to be on tumblr) and trying not to show any reaction to the screen bc at the time I had no idea what my parents' stance regarding LGBT ppl was (parents, tell your kids when you're okay with them being gay, bc they might be and they won't just Know that you're okay with that!), and idk I've had friends tell me it's not their fav film and maybe it's mainly the nostalgia for me but I still absolutely adore this movie and have rewatched it many times

Tagging my mutuals, friends and collaborators <3 @toboldlynerd @lavendelhummel @squishmittenficfan @purlturtle @mimi-mindless @asstraightasau-turn @katieswain123 @verajasmijnart @artax-risen @bookgirlfan only if you want to do it of course! :) & pls lmk if you'd rather I didn't tag you in the future!

Edit: looking at old posts in my 'movie tag' and 'comfort movies' tags now like omg! Of course! Mr&Mrs Smith, Lara Croft, Mean Girls, Carol..... Also I only just thought of Miss Congeniality! Adsfghjkl I really have 0 memory sometimes!

#I thought this would be 90% kids movies but it's only like. 50%? xD #tagging meme #movies #movie tag #banashee #lilolilyr #mine #tagged #aug'23 #20.08.23 #comfort films #movie recs #kids movies #wlw movie #lotr #teen movies #comfort movies #das doppelte Lottchen #the parent trap #charlie & louise

reina the lucifer part 1 😭 first of all its literally not enough i am thirsty for the part two 😭😭😭😭

second of all…HOLY FUCKING SHITTTTTTTT ONCE AGAIN I AM MIND BLOWN BY WHAT YOU CAN COME UP WITH REINA YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUSSSS!!!!!!!! us being the literal daughter of the lord itself made with his own flesh AND made JUST. for. HIM. THATS IT IM DEAD ITS JUST SO FASCINATING AND SHOCKING WITH THAT (not so) PLOT TWIST UGH SO SO SO SO GOOD I never would have even guessed the events that happened in the story even though you literally gave me so many hints

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. I’VE SAID IT ONCE I’LL SAY IT AGAIN YOU ARE A GENIUS I LOVE HOW UR BRAIN WORKS

and can I just say that scene when heelel finally comes and gets us? its like the calm before the storm I loved it soooo muchh

ur writing? fucking impeccable darling I love you so much

MWAAAAAAAAA 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

I knew you'd figure it out once you read it lol. i know it wasn't easy but i hope the color coded words with the dialogue and the characters helped. but yeah, mortal daughter of god.....

Since heelel wanted to destroy god after feeling betrayed and leaving heaven, he actually really did love him as like a mentor/mentee or like a father/son type love. so he felt deeply hurt, and wanted to destroy humanity and hurt god. yet....the man upstairs had a plan the entire time. he knew his favorite arch angel so well and so...in order to save humanity but also to teach the devil how to love, he took a piece of his flesh and added the essence of heelel....so you essentially become the thing that he wanted to destroy, everything that he wanted, everything he is, and everything isnt. he wanted to ruin God, but now taht he has you...the living flesh of god, in a way, he does get to ruin god through you....but it's through love. bc god knew that he was going to fall in ove with you.

part 2 is coming in hot! i'm going to finish and post it today, do you remember all the comments the brothers made about you being pure with a hint of darkness? and how you're so perfect for heelel? those were references to you being gods flesh and heelels essence. ;) i'm thrhilled to hear your thoughts! it motivates me. truly, nothing like working on a chapter nearly all day and hearing the thoughts of my readers! love you so much! @nikstrange

60-64 for my beautiful sunshine angel Elena

thank youuu 😘😘 // sixty-nine questions for your ttrpg characters

60. what do they have faith in? what keeps them believing?

her pelorian beliefs would be the #1 here, and they’ve never wavered because she has been literally surrounded by proof that they’re Right and Good every day of her life. people are safe, healthy and fed because of the work she (and other folk of the temple) do each day, spreading the light and compassion to those who need it. the faith is about doing so many acts of good that evil has no room to exist, and it’s such an admirable and simple goal that elena has never once found reason to waver on. she also has faith in the people of whitestone, though that kinda took a bit of a dent when the list of people doing terrible things while in control of great power kept growing longer and longer.

61. is there an in-game moment of theirs you think about and just laugh?

the visual of elena returning to the dining table to find the rest of the party trying very hard to appear like every single one of them hadn't followed her out the front door and down to the park for her talk with donny lmao

62. do they believe in good and evil?

naturally. as somebody who was basically Good wrapped into a little bundle by the dawnfather and handed over to the grangers, there’s no way she wouldn’t have beliefs in good/evil. it’s been a while but if i remember correctly, she had a whole mindset where she believed that everybody (outside of monstrous exceptions bc duh) was born inherently good, but that light inside of them could become corrupted by the world around them. and if they had been led too far away, it was her and other pelorians’ jobs to lead them back to the light. to the good. and yeah that can certainly be a flawed way to look at things but she’s a fucking lady made of warmth and sunlight and goodness what do you want from her ofc she’s always trying to see the positive in people why do you think she’s so heartbroken over learning about people’s dark sides

63. what’s a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them?

numerous thomas sanders vines because they’re wholesome, but the “if i were a dog show judge” one is for sure up there as one of the most notable. she loves dogs so much wants to pet them all. also those heartspam pics telling someone to take care of themself/expressing love and support/etc, those have big elena energy

64. how would a party member describe them?

stubbornly optimistic, incredulously pure/good, cute and legitimately glowing. kinda hard to suss out an answer here because i imagine each member had a different view on her given their own histories, views and such

#ch: elena granger #w that first one obviously other people in whitestone are doing good it'd be insane if not #just focused on the pelorian's efforts bc elena answer lol

[latibvles]

Hey Lex, it is so funny to see how Ron copes with those little childish jealousies of his about Dais and Lieb. I've pictured this scene where Nixon is brazenly eyeing Daisy (bc he senses she's the apple of Ron's eye) and then asking Speirs 'btw, Lieutenant Clarke...' How would that end? ; ) If you wish <333

okay so I was initially gonna answer this just as a regular QnA but ... writing a Drabble about it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. So tonight we present: instigating Nix, oblivious Daisy, and a very disgruntled Ronald Speirs below the cut.

Lieutenant Clarke — how many times had he heard that name since reaching Holland?

If he was being completely honest, he’d heard it before Holland too, technically. He’d heard her first name, “Daisy” in passing from some of the NCOs, heard Captain Brant talk of her kindly, that sort of thing. Putting a name to a face came later down the line, in Holland; a pretty woman with dark eyes and dark hair and the same disposition of the girls his mother used to introduce him to at dinner parties. The calm, collected types, who didn’t wanna be there either. From what Lewis could gather, she was kind of like those teachers everyone liked in grade school. Pretty and nice, and from his own observations, one of those women who took her job very seriously.

He’d seen an illustration once, in a newspaper, of some nurse overlooking a wounded soldier titled GI Angel. It seemed like Lieutenant Clarke was trying to live up to that — everywhere at once. If there was a wounded man, she was the first one there, treating him. In that way, she reminded him of one of their medics, Eugene Roe, who always seemed to be right there when you needed him. It also explained how so many of the men knew her name, and had opinions about her.

Lewis prided himself on his knack for knowing things and noticing things, and in these situations he tends to feel a little bit of pride in his own watchful eyes.

So he already knows that the nurse has garnered her fair share of attention from the men without meaning to. He already knows that despite their closeness, Liebgott and her probably have nothing going on. Just like he knows that Dick’s gaze has been fixed on Captain Brant since Aldbourne, last December — even if he can’t admit to that himself quite yet.

And he knows that right now — this impassive, neutral look on Ron’s face is about as soft as he’s ever seen the man, and it’s a look directed towards no one but the pretty dark-haired nurse talking to a woman with freckles and light brown hair. Kegley, Lewis recalls, remembering Captain Brant calling for her at some point when they were in Uden.

He likes to think that he knows Ron fairly well at this point; they'd spent several months together when he got moved to staff after D-Day, preparing for this very operation. He’s never been the most expressive guy, but his tongue was sharp and he was damn smart too, much more bearable than some of the men Nixon had been dealing with up until that point. Lewis’ gaze falls back to Clarke. She’s got blood on her clothes and on her hands, helmet tucked under one arm and nodding along to whatever Kegley’s saying with an intense kind of eye contact that also reminds him vaguely of Ron. But then the woman breaks out into that lovely grin, and even from their distance he can make out the faint sound of her laugh.

Next to him, he hears Ron let out a sharp exhale through the nose. A lightbulb goes off.

“So Ron… what’d you think my chances are?” Ron turns to look at him, and he watches for a moment as Ron’s gaze turns back to Clarke, and back to him.

“With what?”

“That nurse,” Lewis states, “The ah… one on the left.” Another double-take from the Lieutenant, and then—

“Lieutenant Clarke? No shot.” He says it definitively. Lewis then turns to look at him fully, feigning confusion at the response.

“And why do you say that?” Ron’s brows knit together, and he bites his lip for a moment, before narrowing his eyes.

“Don’t you have a wife, Nix?”

“Hasn’t stopped me before, Sparky.”

“No woman in their right mind is gonna sleep with a married guy,” And it's subtle, but Lewis can make out that sort of ardor in his voice that suggests it’s more than just looking out for a nurse he hardly knows. Lewis smiles in spite of Ron’s smoldering stare. If a look could kill, Lewis would probably be dead. Luckily, he’s gotten used to Ron’s hard looks.

“Didn’t think you’d care this much. You interested in the angel over there? I don’t see a ring on her finger. But I bet you already knew that,” Ron says nothing, but he doesn’t miss the way the man’s gaze falls on the woman again, lips pressing into a thin line. She’s none the wiser — throwing her arm around her friend’s shoulders, jostling them as the two women exit out a different door. Only then, as the door shuts, does he seem to snap out of his trance. He returns his attention to Lewis, still half-scowling.

“It isn’t like that. Did Mihok bring you that intelligence report or do I actually have to do everything myself?” But Lewis only grins wider as Ron waits for his reply, with arms folded across his chest.

I think it’s very much like that, Ronald Speirs.

this or that tag game

tagged by most beloved @icouldhyperfixatehim​ and @milkpansa​ ♥ thank you thank you thank you~

i uuh. took it that most of these are bl tropes rather than things about me so we’re going into this with that in mind

crying in the shower or making out in the shower (men should be allowed to have emotions outside the shower smh even if i do love a dramatic breakdown in said space)

give cute boy line ID or stalk his IG (i like confident characters that approach their crushes bc that’s something i would never do myself. also IG is such a hazy concept to me so it’s hard to relate to that in any way?)

share his earbuds or share his clothes (sharing earbuds is cute but sharing clothes is my ultimate love ♥ plus points if the sharing can happen either way and their closets slowly become indistinguishable)

manga or manhwa (i’ve read a lot more manga in my life but tbh i adore some manhwas more)

long dangly silver earring or dark leather cuff (absolutely obsessed with dangly things, it’s most likely the cat in me)

time loop or reincarnation (both is good, currently very in love with such tropes)

blue engineering smock or red engineering smock (i think most of the engineering boys i’ve liked in bls do wear the blue version rather than the red one)

kisses at the beach or kisses in the mountains (truly cannot pick between these two bc we gays own both the beaches and the mountains and that’s how it should be)

cactus or chili plant (tbh all i can think about it the tiny cactus from modc so that it is. also i own a tiny cactus myself, it’s called taavi (short for oktaavi/octave))

fairy lights or spot lighting (as much i love the confession scene in tol with the spotlight, i do prefer fairy lights more. brings me right back to history 3: modc ♥)

ghost boyfriend or vampire lover (absolutely obsessed with vampires ok, we deserve a good vampire bl pls i beg)

hard sub or soft sub (ajshdsf this question?? like i can take this in so many ways. deciding to be a bit unhinged and take it the sex way so soft sub it is, do not ask me to elaborate on that) 

stray cat or ... actually that’s your only option (omg finally i own a cat!) 

hawaiian shirt or blue shorts (pat truly made me love hawaiian shirts so much. doesn’t hurt that those seem to also be off’s chosen piece of clothing lol)

evil ex-girlfriend or predatory fujoshi (you know what? i refuse to choose. women in bls deserve to get treated better. we are way past these tropes)

suit jacket or leather jacket (leather jacket can be a suit jacket if you work hard enough for it but you cannot do it the other way)

high school or university (absolutely university these days bc it’s more relatable and i love seeing at least a bit more mature characters. tho just like nini i do also enjoy watching high schoolers be stupid ♥ but we’ve seen too many of these both imo)

kitchen drama or office drama (not really big on public drama so let’s keep it in the privacy of the kitchen thanks. also kitchen drama can be many things 👀)

forehead kisses or cheek kisses (absolutely livid about forehead kisses bc the love is truly stored into those but i do love casual cheek pecks too)

Viki or GaGaOOLaLa (i do hate viki for blocking screenshotting but they do provide very nicely most of the shows)

Japanese arthouse depth or Korean high concept (uuhh am not quite sure what either of these mean but if they’re even close to what i think then i really gotta go with the japanese one. i am thinking about given here)

pink milk or yakult (cannot for the life of me remember what show had yakult in it and i absolutely refuse to pick pink milk so neither)

censored Chinese BL or trashy Thai pulps (both truly. some of the chinese ones are absolute art in other aspects (krhm cql) and the thai ones are just a ton of fun)

body swap or dead body (was really against body swap some time ago but the shipper changed my opinion. it’s a nice trope and can offer a lot of good topics to explore if done right) 

sexy or story (story is always everything to me, i don’t need the sexy)

back hugs or lap sitting (back hugs always give butterflies to my stomach bc there’s something very vulnerable about it and i also enjoy the brief moment of surprise in those when the other doesn’t yet know he’s gonna get hugged but then just relaxes into it)

piggyback or cradle carry (i am very into the dramatics of cradle carry but i do enjoy the casualness and sweetness of piggybacking too)

this was a lot of fun to do ^^ also gave me some nostalgia bc these tropes really make me think about older bls a lot :’D

#tag game #this was such a random string of questions #but so much fun

[butterscotch-brigade]

thinking about your post urging people to reading various genres and content and to challenge their reading skills... and i agree with you so much i definitely think it can strengthen one's reading comprehension and broaden prospective. like even if the quality isn't good or the genre isn't your thing, it can be a fun experience to read something outside of what you're used to. your post just makes me think how nice it can be to just read and gain anything, whether that's maybe knowledge or new queries, out of something new.

also i have to ask do you have any book recommendations? :)

YOU!!!! YOU GET IT!!!!!! one of the many values of reading is what you GAIN from books, and how you can apply that to ur life - whether its philosophical/existential questions or entertaining moments or parts that made you emotional in some way. even if you didnt like a book, walking out of it with the feeling that youve gained/felt something new or intriguing is its own reward.

and as for recommendations.....i have to say my favorite genre is definitely murder mystery, and my favorite author is agatha christie!!! the queen of plot twists imo. her books can be offputting to some bc a lot of the time her books dont always open up with the murder itself; many chapters are dedicated to the events LEADING UP to the murder in order to provide context and drop hints. not all of her books do this, but i can see why some people might become impatient when reading some of her work. that being said, my favorite book of hers had got to be the murder of roger ackroyd, but i also love the abc murders and hercule poirot's christmas.

as far as standalone books go, one book ive been devouring recently is i'm glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy, an autobiography about a former child actress who faced considerable abuse both in her home life and on set for some of her most famous works, most notably "icarly" and "sam and cat." its a hard read that contains descriptions of abuse, eating disorders, trauma, and child exploitation (sometimes sexual). ultimately, though, it becomes a book about healing as she describes life before and after the death of her abusive mother. mccurdy's writing style is so creative and snarky and clever, with some dark humor thrown in. not for those sensitive to the discussed themes, but definitely an engaging read.

i would also like to recommend a book that ive recommended to other people in my life before: penpal by dathan auerbach. this is a horror novel with themes of stalking, death (both humans and animals), and kidnapping. it originally started as a series of short stories online before being published as a full book. i dont want to talk too much about it bc i dont want to spoil anything, but its one of the most suspenseful and chilling stories ive ever read. highly recommend going into it blind bc it hits so much harder when u dont know whats coming.

finally, and this is a VERY different and more unconventional choice, i strongly recommend reading calvin and hobbes. it was a newspaper comic strip that ran from 1985-1995, and it was what inspired me to start drawing and writing stories in the first place. there are several books and collections containing various comics from the strip's run, and theyre all fantastic. they will make you laugh, cry, and think. i know what youre thinking: "how can a newspaper comic be so good?" but trust me, TRUST ME, its one of the most inspirational works of art i have ever come across. without calvin and hobbes i likely wouldnt be where i am today, it literally changed my life. please read calvin and hobbes i am BEGGING you.

theres a LOT of books i love but i am currently living in an apartment farther away from my hometown, where i have a bunch more on my bookshelf. so sorry if these recommendations arent extensive enough i dont have access to my actual Book Supply akskdkdkd

thank u for letting me talk abt books!!!!! have a wonderful day/night/etc and always remember to keep reading :)

[ryxkenkxgami]

aaaaaaaaaa little bit of a ramble talking about ygo and what it means to me, theme of the day

it’s funny bc as some of you know i wasn’t allowed to watch ygo when i was a little kid. it was on all the time, same as pokemon and i wanted to watch it bc i liked the cards. i already collected pokemon cards by then, i was probably 5 or 6, so of course i wanted more. but my mother thought it would “invite the devil into the house” so she refused to let me watch it.

which, of course, made me MORE curious hahaha. i started trading pokemon cards for particular yugioh cards at school in secret. i still remember my very first one, bubonic vermin, lmao. i had no idea what the show was about but cards were cool! 

years later, though, i think i was 11 and watching... megumi?? that weird cartoon network thing before toonami where they’d air the more kid friendly anime. and gx was on. i saw the theme song (which still slaps, btw) and saw jaden yuki and i fell in love immediately. by that point i knew how to torrent and how to watch anime online and verrrryyyy quickly binged the whole series that was out at the time. i was totally obsessed. i remember, so vividly, begging my dad for jaden’s e-hero deck on ebay, and trying to learn how to sew so i could have my very own winged kuriboh. which never happened, but now i think i might have to, haha. (i do own e-heroes now, even if i don’t play them.)

ygo continued to be a passion of mine for years, particularly gx and dm. i wasn’t terribly interested in the tcg yet, but the anime made me really happy.

and from then it was history. i’ve watched most of the ygo series, multiple times. when i was really struggling in my depression after graduating high school, i binge watched the entirety of dm all over again, and it was what got me hooked onto arc v, and from there, i started reaching out to friends again - i made a new twitter, i started talking to people more actively. 

when vrains came out, i was still deep in my arc v feelings so i wasn’t sure what to do. i ignored it for awhile, but when i started watching it... i watched 72 episodes in a week lmao. i couldn’t put it down. vrains was, and still is, the ygo - and just a series by itself - that i connected with very deeply. ygo has never shied away from depicting serious things, but something about the way the trauma was handled in vrains really meant something to me.

and vrains... like, actually, really saved my life. for one thing, i started writing again because of vrains. within the year i got really into it, 2019, i wrote and published over 300k on ao3. i had barely written 10k the year before. in 2019, i also lost one of my best friends. without vrains, and it’s very potent messages about moving on after death and trauma and grief, i don’t know if i would’ve been able to pull myself back together so quickly. 

and also, i started playing the tcg because of vrains. and i met so many new friends, and became closer to people i knew irl who played. i didn’t even realize one of my best friends played until i mentioned i had binged through vrains! then we started talking about the new episodes every week, new releases with cards, dueling each other when we could... i taught some friends how to duel, too. it was fun! it was a bonding experience and everyone was having a good time. those are memories i cherish, made because of yugioh. 

this story isn’t unique. so many people have been sharing the same sentiments all day. how yugioh impacted them. how it changed their life, for the better. how it brought people together, how it helped someone, how it made someone smile in a dark place. yugioh means so many different things to so many different people, and i’m really glad i got to exist at the same time as it. i’m glad i got to experience so much of it as it happened, and i’m glad that kazuki takahashi brought this series to life.

not just the game, but the story. the characters. the communities that have been created because of his creations. i hope he knew how special what he did was. i hope he knew how much his stories were loved. i hope his family is doing alright, throughout all of this. 

rest in paradise, takahashi. you deserve nothing but the best. thank you for sharing your world with us. 

#mitzi.txt #i'm just trying to idk #collect my thoughts a little more #this passing was so sudden and i'm not usually one affected by celebrity deaths but #ygo means so much to me. i have a tattoo from vrains for a reason lol #i wouldn't be here without it #and i certainly wouldn't be on tumblr or twitter or whatever #or writing or being social #or even experiencing my favorite hobby of playing tcg!!! #i'm so eternally grateful for all his work #and the creations that he wanted to share. the messages he wanted to get out there #the story he thought needed to be told #it makes me so happy #even if i'm sad he's gone i'm really glad he got to see the world after his work #idk if he ever expected such a cultural shift but #i hope he was proud of what he did for the tcg community #bc his influence will never be forgotten

mostly rambling about writing my webcomic...

i was doing the typesetting for the next chapter and there's this one part where i was like, i need to explain what this person is referring to for this scene to have any weight. i'll just write a quick backstory thing~

anyway it's. as long as a normal chapter nowwwww :'^) INEVITABLY. i still have one little scene left to write dfghj

generally this arc keeps getting LONGER ;___; i know how it ends and i'm like "wait is this going to have any impact if i don't write something about that??" and in general there are lots of things i know about the characters that aren't in the comic and i'm like DOES IT MATTER???? i don't know.... :'3 (like, not stuff that's going to be revealed later just kinda mundane things that happened before the story starts. but then i hate it when a manga has an entire volume dedicated to one side character's backstory and i'd like my webcomic to END ONE DAY.........)

okay so i wasn't like "i'll just write a quick backstory thing~ tee hee~" I SAID IT BLEAKLY. RESIGNED TO MY FATE.

it is mostly the character in question narrating some stuff so i thought okay i'll do it nagata kabi style and i can totally finish this and another 21 page chapter in two months. i mean her manga is in a simple kinda sketchy style and there's a lot of narration but it's interesting....... anyway that's my current plan. basically how shitty can i get away with this looking..... and what if i made it pink like my lesbian experience with loneliness.......... but i don't want people to see it and think of nagata kabi necessarily i just like pink. MY WEBSITE IS ALREADY PINK. IT'S FINE. NO ONE WOULD EVEN NOTICE. also being like "hey remember this completely unrelated and also way better manga???" at the very beginning of a 30-40 page update. :'^) BAD IDEA.

anyway i own (i can't think of a way to abbreviate this title sdfg why is it so long) my lesbian experience with loneliness but i want to read her newer books too. i think i read exchange diary at a library and found it kinda boring tho? .-.;; ig it's not as sensational as long title. less sex appeal. (that is a joke.)

SEEING THE NEWER TITLES IS. bleak. this poor woman what the hell. like reading long title you'd expect things to get better for her and it's not like her manga hasn't been successful either..... it's kind of depressing, i put them on hold at the library but DO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW???

also somewhat self-conscious about my library holds u__u;;; having three volumes of manga in the first place. whenever i put manga on hold i worry they'll think i don't read real books..... (because i DON'T. i put left hand of darkness & house of leaves on hold too but i've had both of them out before and just never actually read them........ THIS TIME I'M GOING TO. I SWEAR.) i also took impossible people out a few months ago so what if they can see my reading history and are like "why do you read so many comic books about alcoholics??" BUT NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN. i just have an anxiety disorder :v

aaaaa i also don't even know if this backstory flashback thingy is enough.... I MEAN. I GET IT NOW. I KNOW WHY THEY DRAW AN ENTIRE VOLUME OF VILLAGER E'S BACKSTORY. (actually when i think of this phenomenon i think specifically of fai from tsubasa orz;;;; I'M SORRY.) AND. OKAY. IT'S SO EMBARRASSING.

nothing i'm saying or will continue to say is helping my case for Dear Library Employees, I Swear To God I Don't Just Read Comic Books (about alcoholics. i also read comics about other stuff.)

there was some comedy/romance shojo manga i read back in high school and i think the offenders here were by the same author but i don't remember who for sure :v anyway there were a bunch where something serious was about to happen or the characters were finally going to be honest with each other and then they'd have some kinda joke and it would always annoy me bc as we have established i love some sensational drama :v

BUT I GET IT NOW ;_____; THAT IMPULSE...... it's hard to write a sincere and emotional moment and be like WHAT IF IT DOESN'T LAND????? it's so obvious what i'm trying to do that if people go "i don't buy it" then i'll just DIE I GUESS?????????

but you have to try u__u you HAVE TO.

ok this idea has been cooking in my head for a while, but i had an idea for a ksmp character :D

btw if any of these ideas are ableist please let me know. this character and their arc have themes of chronic illness and disability. im basing some of their stuff on my own experiences with adhd, especially their frustration at their own abilities, but that doesnt exempt me from being ableist (esp with their physical problems)

warning for vague descriptions of decay and implied body horror

so this character's temporary name is amanita! (they/them) i came up with em after listening to that "there i am, there i am again" song a few too many times. also somewhat inspired by rot from rainworld :3

moving on from that, amanita is around... 12 years old, maybe? they're extremely friendly and usually quite caring. they always try to be optimistic and cheer others up, although they're actually terrified of the future. they love animals, but most animals and certain people (especially those with sharp senses of smell) are scared of them :(

they have some pretty severe memory issues bc their brain is. well. infested with skulk and warped fungus and void. their whole body is, really—they're the result of an experiment to try and combine these things, to see if anything good could come from it. now their body is decaying. they don't really remember what happened, but they still hate, hate, hate being touched. and they know that something is wrong with their body; they just can't pin down what.

they have a halting manner of speech, often repeating words or trailing off in the middle of sentences. they also tend to forget to finish their thought. on especially bad days they're almost impossible to understand, and they usually choose to stay quiet on those days. altho sometimes they forget that their speech isn't working and get very frustrated

i also think clown would be at least a little unsettled by them. he might recognize the skulk or the warped mushrooms, or he might even have heard of the experiments that caused this to happen. he'd think of them as sort of like a walking corpse. (which they would resent if they knew he thought that—they're not dead yet!!!) also their friendliness and memory issues might make them easier to manipulate, sadly

maddie might just be curious. amanita doesn't seem to be from the nether or the end, but they don't fit with what she knows about the overworld, either. and even though their memory is foggy, they have experience with some things she's never even heard of. she might be wary of them after the adventure in the deep dark, though

kab would definitely think they were cool as hell. i think she would also appreciate how friendly they were, but she would be VERY worried about their interactions with clown. she'd try to keep them away from him as much as she could.

i've only watched a few streams of s1, so my characterizations are a bit shaky and idk what the rest of the characters would think. but ye :D

a lil snippet of how they talk and act:

"Who are you?"

The kid grinned up at Kab. "Amanita! That's my name."

"And where did you come from?"

Amanita's enthusiasm dimmed a bit. "Don't remember," they replied quietly. "Not... It's not, uh..." Their eyes flickered around the town. "Can I stay?"

"I'll have to talk to Kab, but-" Pyro glanced at Rae. "Can you stay with them?"

She nodded. "Sure."

The kid plopped down on the floor as Pyro stepped away. "Who'sat?"

Rae brightened. "Kab is my best friend," she told them with a grin. "She's amazing."

"Best friend," they repeated. "I had a... Well, or something else. Where are they?"

Before Rae could figure out what to say to that, Amanita stood up. "Let's go find them. Your- Your Kab," they decided cheerfully.

a/n: heyy welcome to my first Emily Prentiss fic! I've been wanting to write for her but forgot for a while. So here is a rare sub!emily fic; she's usually written as a dom, but this is based off my own hcs of her. i <3 this fic and i hope u all do too. more to come soon xx

A long day's work had finally come to a head.

Currently, it was late at night, after hours in the BAU office. You continuously read through many case files that were due on Hotch's desk first thing in the morning. It wasn't until the whole bullpen had cleared out, that you concluded the final report.

For the first time in a while, you glanced at the now darkened area around you.

The clock on the wall read 1:45 a.m., which wasn't the usual overtime hours for you at the BAU. Usually your profiler team was out in the field, working on a case for about a week. Unfortunately, it happened to be a night of paperwork and long hours in the office.

The only belongings you saw at the surrounding desks were Reid's bag and sweater. Any other light source still on besides your lamp were the one on Reid's desk, and the few slivers of light that beamed through the slightly open blinds from the round table room.

From the bullpen, you could tell there was someone inside.

You pondered who the movement behind the blinds belonged to. A moment later, you heard a stack of folders drop to the floor. That was enough to raise you from your seat, making your way towards the sound.

A low voice muttered behind the ajar door, which hung open a little less than halfway. Your hand pressed against it, revealing Emily hunched over on the floor, reaching for each of the files she'd dropped. You saw the back side of her black hair, trying to clean up the plethora of tan folders, not having noticed you yet.

"Need help with those?" You asked lowly, trying not to startle the woman from outside the door. Upon speaking, Emily jumped a bit before she turned around, then immediately relaxed once she saw you.

"Hey... yeah. Thanks." She breathed, a little startled that someone else was at the office as late as her. The two of you gathered each of the files, making sure they all contained the correlating pieces of paper they needed. When the folders were placed neatly back in a pile, Emily placed it on the table, sighing in content. Still shorter than her with the both of you in heeled boots, you looked up at her with a smile.

"You alright? Must be tired, it's almost two. Shit, we've been here so long that even Hotch beat us home."

She chuckled at the rarity of that ever happening.

Somehow there was no doubt that you both (and probably Reid) were the only ones left here for the night.

"I'm exhausted. Been working on this caseload all damn week.. but now that I'm finally done, I can go home and relax." The dark haired woman replied with a flirtatious smirk. Right away, you knew what she meant.

"Mhm... but I can't wait to get home. I want you now..." Your breathy voice made Emily clench around nothing, remembering all the times you'd hit the spots that drove her crazy.

She bit her lip, immediately pulling you in by the tie for a kiss, the few soft pecks becoming deeper with each one she left on your mouth.

“Been thinking about you all day..” Emily muttered, your lips began to travel down her neck, breathing becoming heavier. She felt a gush of heat in her core, one that was drawing her in to you.

“Mmm.. yeah?” You asked, loving how she looked in her white button down shirt.

Emily, dark haired, heart-shaped lips, quick-witted Prentiss, was the type of woman who fluttered in your presence. She tried her best to hide it, but even Hotch picked up her strange behavior around you. During the days, at the office, it was best to keep your noses buried in work. You couldn't imagine what would happen if you and her were found indecent somewhere in the building.

“Yes…” she breathed, “Could barely get any work done all day today cause I was thinking about you..”

Your teeth nipped at her skin, picking up the hitch in Emily's breath as your lips followed a trail down to her chest. Pulling away only made her want more, jutting her bottom lip out. Those dark brown eyes of hers locked onto yours.

"I saw Reid's bag... he's still here. Can't have him finding us with my head between your legs..." Upon hearing your words, Emily's dark eyebrows furrowed, stepping away from you for a moment.

She reached around to close the rest of the round room's blinds, while you shut the door and turned off the overhead lights. The only glow that remained was the monitors mounted on the wall.

Once she turned back to you, you connected your mouth to hers again. Emily hadn't put on lipstick today, which you realized upon first taste. Your hands wrapped around Emily's waist, pulling her close while you sat her back on the table. Her hands raked through your hair, pulling slightly at moments.

Your hands traveled to her off-center belt buckle, an aspect of her style you found unique, and that looked good on her as well. Her pants undone, you pulled them down past her thighs before stopping to whisper in her ear.

"Don't make a sound... or someone will hear you, baby." She nodded vigorously in response, her desperate state slapping a smirk across your face.

While unbuttoning the buttons, your lips traveled down between the valley of her breasts and stomach, shrugging her shirt the rest of the way off. This area of her body was always as sensitive as others, not knowing how many countless filthy sounds you've pulled from her just by playing with her breasts.

Goosebumps covered Emily's skin while you softly rubbed her torso, crouching down to spread her legs. The pair of panties she wore had a visible wet stain soaking through the front.

"Fuck, you're soaked already... " You praised, hearing Emily groan at the sound of your voice. One of your hands cupped her heat,

"Please babe... it's so late now," Emily breathed between breathy sounds, wanting to be pleasured by you, but also wanting to get home.

But you just couldn't help yourself.

Another whimper escaped her lips, an inaudible please, watching as her head fell back. Chuckling to yourself, you pulled your hand from between her thighs and stood up. Her eyes immediately shot back to you, confused and upset at the loss between her thighs.

"Get off the table." you demanded, watching her hop down from her seat, a confused but innocent look on her face. Pulling her pants the rest of the way off, she walked over to you, only to be met with you bending her over the table forcefully.

A hand of yours rested on her behind, the other unclipping her bra. The minute you moved off her, you grasped her ass, hooking one of your fingers around the band of lace lying between her cheeks. Letting it snap back against her skin, she jolted at the feeling.

You left desperate kisses down her back, while her now unclipped bra flung apart and onto the floor. Two of your fingers hooked under the band of her lacy panties, pulling them down slowly. Her pussy was on display, wet and needy to be touched.

"Like what you see?" She asked, smirking. Too tired to punish her for her smart remark, you decided to tuck that moment away for later.

"Yes, baby. Very much." Panties fell down her legs the rest of the way, revealing her cunt before your eyes. It wasn't often you were in the mood to even think about doing something like this, especially at your place of work.

Maybe it was the late hours that pushed you too far to give in. Your filthy daydreams of playing with her pressed over this very table were always something of a fantasy. Once you saw the opportunity to make them a reality, you took it and ran.

The slick from her folds shone in what little light there was, feeling drawn to her in a much bolder way than usual.

"Spread your legs for me, come on. Don't be shy now, honey." You spoke in a sultry voice, the very one Emily had a weakness for. It made her knees buckle, and you could barely lower your tone around her without it ruining her focus for the rest of the day. You swore, every time it happened, she texted you the most filthy things her brain thought up. It was quite distracting.

Emily's feet stepped apart, revealing her in full to you. The sight wasn't enough, you needed to taste her. Your lips pressed to her pussy immediately, moving slowly through her already messy folds.

Your sudden contact sent a jolt through her body, slipping a moan through her lips.

"Fuck.." you heard her whisper, knowing she couldn't control herself sometimes.

"What did I say, pretty girl? Don't make a sound." You spoke, going back to making out with her cunt. Your tongue circled and swirled around her clit, teasing her hole with one of your fingers.

"'M sorry- oh.. f-fuck, I'll be quiet, baby. I'll be quiet..." She swallowed another sound at the end of her desperate attempt at an apology. It ran a shiver up your spine, hearing the tone of her voice in complete submission to you.

"If you can't handle it, I can just make you stay quiet." You began, knowing Emily liked the thought. You pushed a finger inside her slowly, curling ever so gently.

"Ah-" Emily's voice rang out again, lower than before, but still audible. You hummed against her, hips jolting above you. After a few minutes of just one finger inside her, you added another, and that's when she really slipped up.

"F-Fuck!" She called out, loud enough for someone on the floor to hear. For a second, you took your mouth off her, waiting a moment to see if anyone was still around.

"Mmmh..." Emily whined above you, to which you slapped her cunt to quiet her.

"Fucking brat," you muttered, "You don't know how to shut up, do you?"

It was a rhetorical question, but Emily still began, "No- I do, baby.. I do."

"Apparently not good enough." you began removing the tie from around your neck, reaching to wrap it around Emily's mouth. Her whimpering and whining never completely ceased, but it definitely quieted what she couldn't hold back.

Your tongue moved fast and smooth against her folds now, your fingers still pumping inside her. They curled quickly to coax Emily's orgasm from her. The amount of her arousal dripping made it easy to fuck her with your fingers at a quicker pace.

“Love seeing you like this, all a mess for me. You fall apart so easily.. How desperate you are, how fast I turn you on…”  You murmured in her ear.

It was then you removed your fingers from her, pulling her up from the table to press yourself against her back. You removed the tie from around her mouth, letting it hang around her neck.

"You getting close, baby?" You muttered against her ear, feeling her body tremble against yours.

"Mhm.. yes, oh god, 'mclose." Emily whispered, one of your hands grasping at her chest while the other rubbed her clit from the front.

"Yeah, gonna come for me?" You asked, fingers swirling at the pleasure between her legs.

"God yes..." Emily's orgasm neared quicker than ever, the enamor she held for you overwhelming every part of her. You turned her towards you, hands roaming her body, before stopping on her breasts to twist her nipples between your fingers.

Emily tried her best to be quiet, but it resulted in her hand clasped over her mouth in another poor attempt to silence her.

Without warning, you reached down, pulling her by the thighs to connect your mouth to her wet cunt. Immediately she called out your name, moaning and rocking her hips from your tongue. You hum under her, the vibration shaking Emily to her core.

She inched closer with every second your tongue swirled through her wetness, heavy breathing coming from the woman above you. One of her hands raked through your hair, pressing you impossibly closer.

"I’m gonna-“ She whimpered, “Gonna come, baby..”

Her hips began to stutter against your mouth, a flutter of gasping breaths slipping past her parted lips.

Emily was caught in the high of her orgasm as it washed through her body, calling out your name wantonly. Your fingers pumped in and out while she came down from her orgasm. Gazing at her, you watched her chest heave in satisfaction.

"Aw, sweetheart. So pretty when you come for me.." you murmured, standing up to kiss her flushed cheeks. Emily's breath continued to steady, arms wrapping around you.

"We should get out of here..." you heard her whisper, though her hands remained on the belt of your pants, "But... What about you?"

A smirk crept onto your face, "It's really late, babe. Let’s get home first."

Emily nodded, knowing it was exactly what you needed to end the night. She leaned in to place feather light kisses on your jaw. You began picking up her clothes from the floor, helping her get redressed.

Both of you acted as natural as possible while exiting the round room, gathering your belongings to accompany each other to the parking garage.

The only way you’d keep your relationship with Emily a secret was to prevent people from seeing you leave and arrive together. Though, you were part of a team of profilers, who could always tell when something was different.

It was only a matter of time before one of your co-workers figured it out. For now, you and Emily were enjoying being a secret.

As you drove off into the night, you imagined what the rest of the night would bring the both of you.
