I wanna ramble about my rain world au so I am gonna do a very long ramble under the cut
This turned out quiet long but I had fun spending an hour and a bit writing this
So firstly, I am gonna officially name my au the Rough Stuff au.
I'm gonna start at the beginning of the timeline with Spearmaster. Like canon, Spears visited Pebbles and gave him the instructions that led to Pebbles rot. And during Spearmasters second visit to Pebbles the pearl gets ripped out and all that.
In my au Suns showed not much affection to Spears until halfway on the second trip. Spears took longer to get home after having the pearl ripped out. Moon tried helping Spears with the pain slightly but it never healed probably and left a scar. When Spears got back to Suns, Suns already thought Spears had died due to how much time had passed. Suns helps Spears usually on bad pain days if Rivulet and Hunter aren't around.
Spears doesn't like Pebbles very much since it was a very scary moment. Spears respects Suns and hasn't messed with Suns and Pebbles relationship, but Spears still glares at Pebbles whenever seeing him.
Next Arti. She lost her kids in the same scenario as canon. But her kids are still part of the cycle and come back, but they are all separated from eachother. Arti initially doesn't crave vengeance and just wants her kids, but as her search becomes hopeless and she cannot find her children she becomes enraged.
She goes on to kill many scavengers. She never really gets to the scav king but she does scare the scavenger population off of Pebbles. She stays with Pebbles as she sees him as a pup. She over time forgets how her pups used to look like, and her memory replaces her pups with ones that look like Pebbles.
Her pups are found by other slugcats and will be explained in those slugcat stories. But basically even if Arti saw her pups now she would not recognise them.
Hunter time. So Hunter was made and raised by Sig in a short time. Sig made Hunter to save Moon. Hunter showed no signs of Rot until the journey to Moon had already started. Hunter pushed though and decided to complete the journey.
After Hunter completed their quest they decided to stay around Pebbles for a while and met with Arti. The two got into a relationship but broke it off. Arti was still enraged with the scavengers and Hunter was still very ill. Hunter makes it back to Sig with assistance from Arti and Rivulet. Rivulet has not met Moon or Pebbles at this point and is just a friendly slugcat. Rivulet has only met Spears and Enot at this point.
Hunter gets fixed up by Sig. Sig tries their best but Hunter kinda has to permanently live with the rot, but it is more manageable. Sometimes the rot tries taking over and Hunter has seizures. But Hunter is in a more stable condition.
Gourmand, This is fun. So Gourm is the oldest slugcat in the slugcat colony. Gourmand acts as a uncle to all the pups in the colony and assists most parent slugcats. Gourmand goes on the journey to find more food and land to help the colony.
During this journey Gourm finds one of Arti's pups and takes them in. The pup grows up and is a good member of the colony.
Gourmand likes visiting Pebbles since Pebbles looks lonely. Gourmand is very smart and can usually understand a lot of what Pebbles is saying. Pebbles doesn't say it but he enjoys the company of Gourm.
Gourmand like providing for others and is basically a dad friend. After Gourm met Riv they became best friends and love talking to eachother.
Next is Surv and Monk. The story for them begins a bit before their campaigns. When Surv and Monk were little baby pups their parents located one of Arti's pups. They adopted the pup and it became Surv and Monk's third sibling.
When Surv fell and got separated Monk followed. The third didn't follow due to having separation issues and wanting to be their for their parents.
Surv and Monk have pretty basic stories, the don't have much change from canon. They both make it home. In this au the slugcat colony is still there and they both are welcomed home and are happy.
Rivulet time! Rivulet is a wild slugcat who travelled alone before meeting the others. Riv knows Enot because they are cousins.
Riv met Spearmaster first. They were awkward when first meeting due to Spearmaster not being able to speak or understand Riv.
Suns gave Riv the mark and helped Spears talk to Riv and helped teach Riv a bit of sign.
Riv liked joining Spears on messaging journeys and sometimes helped Suns delivering messages to Sig because Spears was in pain. This is how Riv met Hunter and Arti.
Riv likes helping others but forgets to take care of themself. Riv has self image issues and anxiety. Riv sometimes has episodes where they feel like they have to be useful or else nobody will want them around.
Rivulet also gets reckless and sometimes will get injured and say nothing because they don't want to be a bother.
Rivulet wants to be seen as fun, strong and reliable. They hate feeling weak.
Spearmaster and Hunter try to help Rivulet out of this mindset whenever they find out Riv is hiding pain.
Saint. Saint is a strange scug. Saint was made by Sliver and is partly echo. Saint was raised with no love or affection and was taught this is normal. Saint believes that everyone and everything wants to ascend and that they are doing everyone a favour by ascending them.
Saint sees life as meaningless and is quite blunt with what they say. Saint asks many questions when meeting the other slugcats because they confuse Saint.
Saint doesn't understand why all the Slugcats want to live. Gourmand especially confuses Saint.
Gourmand convinces Saint that life has purpose and tries teaching Saint to live. Saint is close to Gourmand and becomes close friends with Gourm. Sometimes Saint relapses and believes they must ascend everything but Gourm is usually able to calm down Saint or is able to knock out Saint in worst case scenarios.
Saints worst incident was seeing the rot on Hunter and attempting to ascend Hunter to "stop their pain." Hunter survived the ordeal but Gourm had to knock out Saint.
Gourm and Saint usually have to be together to stop future incidents. Saint helps Gourmand babysit.
Nightcat is fun but not much. Nightcat isn't truly a normal slugcat. Nightcat was once a part of the night sky. Nightcat would wonder the land when it was night. They were close to members of the slugcat colony who were nocturnal.
After meeting Surv and Enot, Night fell in love. Night hid the fact of being part of the night sky for a long time but being in a relationship eventually meant it was revealed.
Through their love Night split from the night sky and was able to join their partners in the slugcat colony.
Night is a bit secretive and shy around new people but is very affectionate to those close to them.
Enot, my weird scug. Enot isn't a big flirt or a hopeless romantic. Enot is a slugcat who like rivulet is anxious and has self image issues. Enot hides behind jokes and being flirtatious. Enot is very loyal to Surv and Night.
Enot is clumsy and loud. They worry about being annoying or out of line so they overplay it so that it hurts less when people dislike them. Surv and Night showed Enot so much kindness that they actually got really quiet and emotional.
Enot loves being around friends and joking around. Enot also enjoys swimming.
Enot's egg is actually a rock that they hold and use like an otter does. They love the egg and it is a comfort object for them, they like fidgeting with it.
Anyways if you have any more questions just send me an ask. I skipped a lot in this. This is kinda just a thing on how some relationships formed or how some scugs met, or fun facts I have not shared before.
If you read this all you are a legend :)
Thanks for reading.

Dungeon Master (Eddie Munson x reader)
Tumblr media
Request: I know it’s a cheesy concept lol but I would love some thing with Eddie teaching the reader how to play DND
You got it!! Requests for Eddie Munson are officially open!! 
Masterlist
Warnings: cursing, mentions of drug use, fluff, mentions of sex
“So you wanna ask him but you’re too nervous?” Robin asked in disbelief.
You nodded, “I just wanna spend more time with him and thought what better way than to learn the game he likes so much. I could join the club too! Only if he’d be okay with that. I also don’t wanna come off as the clingy girlfriend.”
“Trust me I think Eddie would love if you asked him to teach you.”
“You think so?..”
“I do. If not ask one of the other guys.” You hummed.
“Maybe I’ll ask Gareth and if he says no then I’ll ask Eddie.” Robin nodded.
“Alright see you later. Steve’s waiting for me outside.”
You smiled waving her off. “Bye Robin.”
You yelped feeling arms around your waist lifting you off the ground. “Hello.”
Eddie grinned turning you around to face him, “You ready to go?” 
“Just about. I gotta ask Gareth for a favor real quick.” 
“What do you gotta ask Gareth about?” He asked confused.
“For a favor!” You smiled kissing his cheek before waving to Gareth running to him. Eddie raised an eyebrow a bit suspicious following behind you.
He made it only to hear the last of the conversation. “So you’ll do it really?” 
Gareth nodded, “Yeah I don’t mind. Why can’t you ask Eddie though?”
“Because I don’t really wanna bother him with it. Plus what if he thinks it’s weird.”
“I highly doubt he’ll think it’s weird.” You hummed as Gareth’s eyes widened seeing Eddie behind you.
You shrugged bidding him a goodbye smiling as you saw Eddie. “Hey I’m ready to go.”
“So today is Friday do you wanna spend the night at mine?”
“I would, but I’m meeting up with Gareth tomorrow!” You buckled in as Eddie hummed once more.
“Can I ask why?”
“I told you-”
“Yeah I know you asked him for a favor.” He smiled a bit bitterly.
“Eddie are you okay?”
“Yeah yeah I’m fine.” You sighed reaching for his hand while he drove. 
“I’m sorry I really would love to spend the night I just wanna make sure I can make it to Gareth’s on time.” Eddie sighed nodding.
“I know I’m just wondering why you can’t ask me. You know I said I’d help you with anything. So come on let me help.” 
“It’s embarrassing..”
“Nothing about you is embarrassing.”
“You won’t find it weird?”
“Have you really looked at who you’re dating?”
You laughed leaning over to kiss his cheek. “I have and I’m very pleased to see it everyday.”
“Wow it? You bruise me.” You rolled your eyes as he grinned pulling over.
“Now come on tell me.” He turned to face you giving you another reassuring smile.
“I wanna learn how to play DND...” You mumbled out nervously.
“What?” He heard you. He just wanted to make sure he got it right and to him it was cute seeing you so flustered.
“I wanna learn how to play DND.”
“That’s it?”
You nodded feeling embarrassed, “Hun I can teach you that. I’m literally the Dungeon Master.”
He laughed a bit as you pouted. “I wanted to learn so I could spend more time with you..”
Eddie grinned leaning over to kiss you, “I’ll tell Gareth he doesn’t gotta worry about it. I’ll teach you pretty thing. But just because you’re cute doesn’t mean this will be easy for you.”
You nodded, “I was hoping it wouldn’t. You’ll teach me then?”
“Of course and maybe if you’re up for it. You can join the club..”
“That’s kinda what I was shooting for. I wanted to spend more time with you and thought this would be fun plus I know how much you love this game-”
Eddie kissed you again silencing you. “You need to stop being so fucking cute.”
You laughed as he started his van driving you away. 
Later that night, Eddie grabbed his things going over all of the pieces. You nodded writing down everything he was explaining to make your own study guide of sorts.
“So I usually make the campaigns, but we should start on your character sheet. What were you thinking?”
You hummed giving it a small thought as Eddie leaned over your shoulder staring at your notes. 
“You writing this all down?”
“Yeah don’t wanna forget anything. I’m taking this all seriously. Don’t wanna disappoint and if I’m gonna play with all of you I gotta make sure I become strong enough to survive one of your campaigns.” He smiled kissing your cheek.
“You truly are a honorable person.” 
“Hmm..honorable..I wanna be a warrior.”
“What?” Eddie looked a bit stunned but also wasn’t that surprised. His girl would wanna be a cool knight.
“Yeah i wanna be a warrior! Like a cool swordsmen! A knight!” Eddie grinned.
“Okay Y/N the knight.” You nodded with a wide smile writing it down. Eddie wrapped his arm around your shoulder staring at you in awe.
He never would’ve thought he’d meet someone who’d willing learn something he’s passionate about all because you wanna spend time with him.
You were gonna be a killer knight.
“Yup. Y/N the knight and the Dungeon Master.” He laughed a bit moving you on his lap. You squirmed moving away as he gripped you tightly.
“Stop distracting me! I will not allow you to treat a knight this way!” You squealed as he tossed you on your back hovering above you.
“Yeah you don’t scare me knight. We still have a lot to go over. You keep distracting me though.”
You sighed pouting up at him, “Me distracting you! You can’t keep your hands off of me! Promise if I join you won’t treat me differently?”
Eddie nodded, “Yes that is an automatic promise babe.”
“Good dungeon master. Don’t want you giving me special treatment.”
“Yeah I’ll treat you just as I treat the rest of my fellow club.”
“Alright good now let me up so we could go over more stuff.”
“Or we could make out a bit and then finish going over stuff with you.”
“Haha nice try. Making out always leads to more.” Eddie kissed you running his hands up to your waist. 
“I mean I don’t make it lead to more it’s usually you-”
“No! Don’t give me that!” You laughed a bit in shock at his words. “You end up sticking your hand up my shirt perv.”
“You love me being a pervert.”
“I do, but I really do wanna learn if you really want I can go to Gareth to learn-”
“No. You won’t learn from anyone but me.” 
“You jealous Munson?”
“Psh me? Nah I just think if you’re gonna learn from anyone might as well be the Dungeon Master.” You saw right through him smirking a bit.
“Okay then let me up so you could teach me.”
“Fine.” He groaned sitting up. 
“I will make sure my girl is the best knight there ever was.”
“Thank you. I’m totally gonna beat your campaign with everyone else once i get this all down.” 
“Yeah you will sweetheart.” He smiled as you went back to writing down your character outline.

More trying to give distraction with bitb: what scene like… shocked you the most? For me it was definitely either Rolan’s bug thing or Kian’s stockbroker reveal they were both just. Yeah.
(Also. I. I dont know if this is annoying to ask feel free to ignore it but i am kinda interested to know if you wanna tell me do you have a favorite part from my fics so far 👉👈)
Thank you <3 and Rolan being a bug and Kian being a stockbroker were definitely shock moments for me, but I think the fact that the brain similarity wasn’t even a red herring, it was just bizly making a connecting from nothing. Gosh, what else was a shock, lol sorry this is so stream of consciousness right now, but hmm. I think the fact that Rand was the only one to survive. Most of the campaign was spoiled for me but I didn’t know Rand survived and god just the fact that he could never escape Galloway kills me
ITS NOT ANNOYING AT ALL OMG I GET TO GUSH ABOUT YOUR FICS IM SO EXCITED!
1. I love Rand’s hallucinations and him not trusting reality especially after everything that happened in Galloway
2. Rand noticing Kian being Too Still and not acting like himself and being able to easily tell when she’s lying, chefs kiss I love that fact and I love how Rand is so attentive to that fact
3. Rolan being bug. Ok, just everything about that is amazing. The bug talking in his mind constantly and worriedly chattering about missing the hive and queen but it slowly shifting and being calmed with the help of Kian and Rand is so amazing I adore it
4. Kian trying so hard to act like everything is fine while slowly breaking apart kills me. They’re just trying their hardest to be ok and to help the others and it breaks me a bit. I love it. She’s just such a good people person and able to read the others so well and knows what to say, but doesn’t know the first step to help herself. He’s just everything to me, I love him
5. Kian’s forceful dissociation when music plays is such a nice touch and call back to everything with Becky, it’s perfect
6. Rolan being able to shift to a more human appearance is such a cool detail and aspect for him I really really like it
7. Maybe it’s just because I relate too much to Rand and understand him too well, but the way you write him is amazing. He just tries so hard but his anger and paranoia just gets in the way and I love how Kian knows how to navigate it and not give into that while Rolan is also frustrated and does give into the petty fights
8. Rand’s hallucination of Rachel, that was so well done and I love it
9. Just god so much is so good and so well written I love your collection, it’s amazing

also what's up with the wyll/eden/astarion polycule, how'd that happen
:3c hehehe
okay so to be clear this polycule exists only in my brain/the bg3 fic i wanna write and not in the actual campaign. but it means a lot to me and makes brain go brrrr
i like to imagine this polycule starting as like... wyll and astarion each separately develop romantic feelings for eden, and they have to figure out how they want to navigate that. i want to respect the fact that, in the game, wyll specifically says he's not interested in a polyamorous relationship, so this is kind of like... a what-if scenario for a situation where i think that might be something he'd be interested in.
because i don't think this is something any of them sought out, it just kinda. happened with time.
wyll and eden get together first, having their sweet slowburn romance over the course of the adventure. and, y'know, they really care about and support each other, and it's nice to see love blooming in such a dark, scary time.
but there's this pervasive sense among the party that they're fighting a losing battle. can they really do anything to change the world, after all they've seen? sure, they're not gonna stop trying--gods know eden is a determined son of a bitch and won't back down if he thinks there's even a minuscule chance of making a difference.
but it's wearing on them, and even though eden keeps going, it's clearly wearing on him, too. there's so much going wrong, it feels like, all the goddamn time. when does it end?
then... towards the middle of act 2, wyll picks up on something he's been subconsciously aware of, but hasn't acknowledged: the very clear feelings astarion is developing for eden. the two have always butt heads, but there's an underlying affection between them that catches his attention. and, sure, he's confident that eden isn't going to be unfaithful or leave him, but at the same time it does make him nervous.
does astarion have something he doesn't? does eden *want* him the way he wants wyll? is wyll prepared to potentially have to share eden, or lose him? he doesn't think he wants the answers to those questions.
this is something in the back of his mind for a few weeks, and he finds himself watching eden and astarion a bit more closely. eden does pick up on it eventually and asks him what's wrong, but he lies and says that nothing's wrong. why would there be?
then, wyll gets *severely* hurt in a battle, nearly dying in the process. and eden fucking *loses it*. he manages to save wyll's life, but it's still gonna take time for his injuries to heal. and that makes something click in wyll's brain: there is a very real chance he won't survive this journey, that even eden's determination to claw them out of hell might not be enough to save all of them. and, if he dies, what happens then? what happens to eden?
so, wyll, the self-sacrificing bastard he is, decides that, if he dies, then someone needs to stick around for eden. and... well, if he's right, and astarion does want eden romantically, then maybe he'll fit the bill. the same day he decides that, he seeks astarion out to talk to him and tell him, hey, if i don't survive this, i want you to take care of eden.
and astarion... does not react well. he seems deeply uncomfortable with this whole conversation, especially when he's always been sure that wyll hates him. he doesn't deny having an interest in eden, but he tells wyll off for being so willing to disregard himself in this situation (and also eden's feelings, too!). bold of him to assume eden wouldn't tear the world apart for him if it came to that.
as astarion says this, wyll picks up on a note of what seems like bitterness in the vampire's voice, as though he's resigned *himself* to the role of quietly pining from the shadows, never having the closeness he actually *wants* here, not having eden care about *him* as much as he does wyll.
basically, this whole conversation gives wyll a lot to think about.
and okay i'll admit i haven't ironed out all the details from there, but i know that astarion joins the relationship wayyy down the line from there, definitely sometime in act 3. it's not something they really sit down to discuss at first, though they do down the line when they have a moment to breathe.
i DO know that i want there to be a moment where like... *eden* is the one in peril this time, and astarion and wyll have a Moment while they're rushing to save him where it really clicks for them that... oh. yeah. at the end of the day, they both care about him, and maybe that *is* enough. they can both protect him and keep him happy, if he so chooses.
the dynamic is like. eden is dating both wyll and astarion, though wyll and astarion aren't dating each other. they might consider it at some point, but i don't think it's something they'd really want to go for.
and i'll be honest that i'm not sure if this particular dynamic would *work* long-term. maybe it could! maybe not! but it at least works for the moment they're in, even if it's rocky at times. eden has two hands.
the dynamic in my brain is like... wyll and astarion both love and care deeply about eden. eden loves and cares deeply about both of them. they team up to keep their little devil safe and in their arms, so they don't lose him as he throws himself into danger to protect them.
(also i know this isn't going much into eden's perspective, but i will be honest i'm a bit self conscious about how long this got lmao. another time, perhaps. idk idk i just love them so much)

The secret
Okay, guys…. I came up with this after I listened to glimpse of us from Joji and heather from Conan Gray. I wrote all this in one sitting and im kinda proud of it. I do have a part two idea, so if you want that lemme know and i write it :)
Also, just an FYI…reader and Eddie are NOT brothers, just close friends. Enjoy 
p.s. I have dyslexia. so when im re-reading my own stuff some typos will fly over my head, so if you see one please let me know so I can fix it!
Warning: angst, internal homophobia, talk of drinking.
words: 2382
Y/n L/nwas best friends with the one and only; Eddie ‘the freak’ Munson. They have known each other since birth. Grown-up together and called each other brothers. They were family and nothing would ever change that. Eddie and Y/n have been together thrown thick and thin, nothing can break that bond, they even have matching (insert tattoo here), same spot, same color. Brothers forever.
But Y/n was keeping one teeny tiny….huge ….secret ....he had fallen deeply and helplessly in love with the freak.
 The first time Y/n noticed that he may have feelings for the metal head, it was just like any other time that they hanged out.
 Eddie was practicing his current favorite song on his guitar and roman was doing his homework. The metal head was making amazing progress on his guitar “Y/n watch this” he said excitingly and he began to play the song almost perfectly. Eddie's fingers shift into cords and flawlessly move to different frets of the guitar. when he played the wrong note he ignored it and powered throw the song, pride, and joy displayed on his face as he played the final notes.
“You see that!” Eddie laughs in triumph, pumping a fist in the air. Y/n stood up and put his hand up for a high five “hell yeah dude!” Eddie high-fived the other “that was badass!” Y/n finished with a laugh. “It's almost perfect! Give me a few more days and ill have that bitch in the bag!” Eddie said with so much excitement in his voice that he sounded like a child on Christmas getting the toy he asked for. the metal head almost immediately went back to practicing and Y/n sat down to resume his homework. Every few minutes, a roman would find himself gazing up at Eddie, watching him strum on his instrument, focusing hard on the notes he was playing that Eddie himself didn't notice that his tongue had started to peek from between his lips.
Y/n smiled at the sight of Eddie ‘ he's so cute’ he thought to himself and shook his head softly and looked down at his homework……wait a fucking minute WHAT! Nah, Y/n was just kidding, Eddie wasn't cute, Eddie was….well Eddie. Eddie was his best friend, his brother,…. And that's just…not normal. Y/n shook himself out of his thoughts and finally paid attention to his homework. 
Sadly for Y/n, that wasn't the only time that he had those thoughts. There was a time Eddie was telling Y/n about his campaign plan for D&D and all Y/n could think was “man I wanna know what his lips would feel like” and many many more incidents just like that that made him realize that he was fucked.
Y/n remembers when Eddie broke his heart. 
The metal head had practically skipped into his own room, and flopped into his bed, a soft smile resting on his lips. Eddie let out a soft sigh. Y/n looked at Eddie, and scoffed, resetting a hand on his hip “ what had you so breathy and soft?” he asked. Eddie sat up and smiled wide “I have a date” Y/n’s heart dropped to his feet and his soul left his body. Y/n was stunned and his eyes were wide “um… What?” he asked and instantly collected himself “ with who?!” he faked the enthusiasm and plastered a fake smile on his face.
Eddie beamed at his best friend “Cindy Whitmore” he said with a smirk as he watched Y/n’s reaction. At first, all he did was nod until the name finally registered in his brain. Cindy Whitmore. The prettiest girl in town. Y/n gasped in surprise and Eddie just smiled and laughed, having no clue that he just shattered his best friend's heart. “C-Cindy?” he said, letting it all sink in as Eddie nodded. Cindy fucking Whitmore. Y/n kept that fake smile up “holy shit dude, when!?” the boy asked trying his hardest to push his feeling aside and be happy for his best friend. But all Y/n wanted to do was curl up in a ball and disappear.
Eddie excitingly opened his closet and started to shuffle his clothes around “We’re meeting up tonight! I was actually hoping that you could help me pick out an outfit. I wanna look my best! And who better to help me than my brother!” Y/n mindlessly agreed and spent the next few hours helping Eddie pick clothes and planning what to do for the date. Spending the whole time in his thoughts, not really paying attention to the metal head, just letting him ramble as he talked about Cindy. The time came when Eddie dropped the boy home and sped off to his date.
When safely inside his room, Y/n broke down in sobs in his bed. The funny thing is, Y/n wasn't even sure why he was crying. Cause his best friend, his brother, had a date with the girl of every guy's dream? That's the dumbest thing he's ever heard. He should be happy for him, why wasn't he happy for him? Y/n tangled his fingers into his own hair and gripped it hard and he struggles to swallow his sobs to not alert his parents. 
And Y/nremembers when he fucked up everything. Eddie and Cindy have been going out for a few months now and roman and eddies' friendship……didn't change one bit. They were still as close as ever, and Eddie would tell Y/n everything he did with Cindy ….everything….and Y/n listened to it all, being the friend that he had always been, even with he discover feelings. But Y/n was determined to change that tonight. 
Eddie and roman were having a movie binge of three of each other's favorite movies to ‘widen each other's movie tastes’ while drinking a few beers. As the last movie came to an end Eddie clapped “phenomenal movie! 100% one of my new favorite movies” Eddie smiled at the other male. Y/n smiled back “I knew you would like it! Did you like that part where-” Y/n and Eddie spent the next few hours just talking about the last movie, laughing and cracking jokes. 
Silence fell on the two as they calmed down from their high-energy moment, they stared at each other. Y/n took his chance and leaned in towards the metal head's lips, before they could touch Eddie pushed the other away in a panic” w-what are you doing, Y/n!” Eddie asked as he also stood up moving away from the other staring down at the other in shock. Y/n stared at Eddie in disbelief, covering his mouth with both hands, he looked down at the couch, away from the metal head. Roman shot up off the couch and stared at Eddie again, tears starting to sweal in his eyes “oh my gods i-” Y/n choked on his words “Y/n  what was that?” a tear ran down the boy's cheek “I don't-” another tear ran down his face.
“Y/n I don't- I have- I'm not-” Eddie shook his head and ran a hand through his long curly hair. Y/n nodded and quickly whipped his face “pshh, no yeah, I mean like” Y/n started to rush through the living room, searching for all his things” Y/n please don't-”  “you’re like my best friend.” Y/n ignored the metal head and struggle to get one shoe on “Y/n will you just-” “ we call each other brothers”  Y/n found his jacket and struggle some more. Eddie took a step forward to help “don't” Y/n said before he could get closer, giving the other male and look full of sorrow and embarrassment. The male finally got the jacket on and started to grab his movies “and that's not normal, on top of that your dating like the prettiest girl in the town so like” Y/n held his three movies in his hands and moved to get passed, Eddie.
Before Y/n could get behind Eddie, he grabbed the tapes out of his hands. Y/n whined and turned towards Eddie, but did not look him in the eyes. “Y/n  will you please let me talk” the metal head pleaded as he sat the tapes on the couch arm behind him. “What was that? Please tell me the truth” Eddie begged as he moved to grab his best friend's shoulder. Y/n moved back from eddies reach, making his arm drop to his side. “What going on, Y/n? I'm so confused! I have no clue what's going on with you, you don't talk to me anymore” Y/n scoffed “I always talk to you-” “ not like you used to. You used to tell me everything that going on. You used to tell me how your feeling!” Y/n glanced up at Eddie, seeing the worry written all over his face, Y/n quickly looked away.
“I tell-” “don't bull shit me Y/n !” Eddie warned and Y/n flinched from the rise in his voice. The metal head realized he was getting heated and took a deep breath “when I can see that you are upset or deep in thoughts that are bothering you when I ask what's wrong. You always tell me that you're fine.” Eddie said calmly, sitting on the armrest of the couch, knocking the movies over. “That's because I am” Y/n lied “but I know your not” Eddie sighed and looked down on the floor “we've known each other for years, you think I can't tell when your lying?” the metal head paused, so the other male shrugged, not knowing if he was asking a question.
“Please just talk to me… I feel so disconnected from you” Eddie pleaded, a treat running down his face. Y/n nodded and took a deep breath “Eddie…okay…ill tell you everything..just please don't say anything till I'm done... Please?” Y/n asked, choking out the last word as he held back a sob. Eddie nodded, making the zip and lock motion with his hands over his lips, earning a small chuckle from the other male.
Y/n nodded and took in another shaky breath “ okay… Eddie Munson..” he nervously laughed and whipped his hands on his shirt. “I think...that I'm in love with you and-” Y/n tilted his head back and blinked away his tears as another sob threatened to except his lungs. Eddies eyes widened and covered his own mouth with his fingertips “and I've been hiding it from you for months because what I'm feeling isn't normal” Y/n balled up his fist and laughed “you're my best friend! we grew up together. we’re practically brothers! I'm not supposed to fall in love with you” Y/n started to laugh and cry at the same time. Eddie had started to grow increasingly worried as he watch the person before he unravels. The metal head reached out for the other hand to anchor him before he completely lost him to his unwinding thoughts.
Y/n stopped crying and pulled his hand away, staring blankly at Eddie without stretched hand. They both stayed frozen for a few seconds, Eddie staring at roman and roman staring at the floor. Everything seemed to hold its breath as if waiting to see what would happen next. “I need to leave” Y/n blurted out and turned around gripping the front door handle. Eddie sparing into action and grabbed the other wrist “wait please” there was another pause, and no one moved. Eddie spoke again “let me at least drive you home?” Eddie pleaded again, Desprit to talk this though, he felt like he was spirling with all this new information.
Y/n shook his head, and pulled his wrist out of eddies hand, opening the front door. Cold wet air rushed into the trailer, causing a shiver to run down Y/n spin. it was raining outside and it was coming down hard “I'm sorry Eddie,” Y/n said before walking out of the warm comfort of Eddie's trailer into the cold downpour, closing the door behind him.
Y/n rased home, running as fast as he can without slipping and falling in the rain. When he finally reached home, he rushed inside, slamming it shut behind him. The male leaned against the door and slide down it till his butt made contact with the floor. Y/n sobbed into his hands as he realized that he just told his best friend everything and now… Eddie might hate him. “Honey?” he heard his mom call from her room “baby is that you” her voice sounded closer as he neared the crying boy. Seeing her son huddled against the door crying she rushed to be by his side to help him “honey-bunny what's wrong?” she asked as she rubbed soothing circles on his back. The male sniffed the snot back into his nose
 “i-i’m okay mom please,” he said and stood up, his moms standing up with him. She didn't believe him “mama please I'm okay” he chocked out and whipped his eyes “I just want to go to bed” she looked at him with concern, but seeing that he wasn't going to crack, she nodded and watched him walk to his room before returning to her own. That night roman cried and cried till he was out of tears then he stayed up till the sun started to peek over the mountains. Then he passed out. 
The metal head on the other hand stared at the spot that his best friend stood in only a few seconds ago. Hundreds of different emotions swelled in his chest and tears flooded his eyes and he collapsed on his knees and whaled. Having closed the closes person in the world to him he didn't know what to do or how to feel or how to act. Eddie sat there for what felt like hours till he had the strange to get on the couch and cry some more. Eddie would then be woken up by his uncle, tear stains on his face. Eddie would just look up at his uncle and start to cry again as he remembered last night's events. His uncle would hold him till he calmed down and fell asleep again. Wayne would drag the sleepy male back to his room and tuck him into bed, ready to talk when Eddie woke up again.

Heard you’re doing an omegaverse schlatt x reader…. and I kinda wanna give a couple of my idea if that’s okay with you!
Anyways!
It would be very hot and interesting if you sprinkled a couple omega!schlatts in the sea of alpha!schlatts.
Like, he looks like a very handsome alpha, but surprise! surprise! He’s an alpha presenting omega on suppressants and some sort of circumstances ether lead alpha!reader is discover him in full omega mode w/o suppressants OR a smear campaign exposed his omega status (cause he’s like a CEO, president, boss, king, leader person, rich, etc) and he has to be mated ASAP lest terrible things would happen to him and alpha!reader is the only one he could trust to mate him.
Que him being really insecure about his body and questioning whether or not he’s a good omega and alpha!reader being the sweetest thing in the entire world (bonus points for being omega presenting) and being like ‘Noooo! Babe, you’re such a good omega, you’re so beautiful rn and oh my god oh my god-‘ and then schlatt fucking cries because he has a neglected praise kink (as he should, poor man’s been through shit).
So essentially, alpha!reader taking taking care of omega!schlatt during his heat cause anon’s (me) caretaker instincts are going out of wack!
Also, sub!schlatt and chubby!dadbod!thicc!schlatt supremacy!
anon, i love you.
thinking thoughts of cowboy!schlatt, who ran away from bis wealthy family to finally be free from the oppressive weight of his omega status. he’s been good at hiding, his attitude, occupation, and the musky smell of dirt and smoke that covers him has people assuming he couldn’t possibly be an omega. everyone’s fooled, except you.
a fellow runaway yourself, you’re an expert tracker who fled an arranged marriage to live in the woods, hiding your alpha status from others (as women being alphas was seen as unladylike and wrong) and allowing them to assume you were just an omega or beta. you often hired to help people with more muscle catch fugitives for their bounty, resulting in you working with schlatt a lot. your above average sense of smell that made you such a good tracker always seems too catch something off about schlatt, and the way the cocky man is so nervous and avoidant around you unless necessary furthers your suspicions about the man. no one believes you though, it was rare and looked down upon for a man to be an omega, so how could the tough and well respected schlatt possibly be one?
that’s all it was, suspicions. until the man you two were tracking was much more clever than usual, resulting in you and schlatt tracking him for longer than expected. you figured schlatt just had important business, perhaps a lady waiting for him, that caused him to be so anxious the longer the two of you were stuck tracking — until you smelt a sickly sweet smell coming from the man’s tent one night. a smell you instinctually knew to be of an omega in heat.
high key wanna write this now!! i’ll add it to my wip list!
also, im a fellow dadbod!schlatt lover. good taste

um ummm sasha and anne and marcy visiting each other at college [post The Breakup] and theyre like kinda awkward but trying to push through it while ALSO not wanting marcy to realize that they are awkward bc marcy was looking forward to them finally meeting up again soo much and hteyre just like. [accidentally brushes hands] [freeze] [blushes] [so many blushes] [awkward staring] [starts talking then trails off halfway through] [oh they probably think im being so weird] [im being so weird] [this is horrible] [oh god i still love [anne/sasha] dont i] [oh god]
wow that's so cool. watch this
"did I tell you guys I'm planning a webcomic?"
"what?" Anne gasps. "you're serious? isn't that a lot of work?"
"that's pretty cool, Mars," Sasha says, grinning and leaning back in his chair. "how far along are you with it?"
Marcy giggles. "sure is a lot of work! it's kinda killing me, actually," they admit, fiddling with the ends of their hair. "and I'm... probably about halfway through outlining it? maybe? the plot is dense."
Sasha hums and sips at his drink. "props to you, though. wanna tell us what it's about?"
instantly, Marcy's face lights up. "would I? oh my god, I don't even know where to start... okay, so it's like, a mix of the Creatures and Caverns campaign- which is going great, by the way, our next session is gonna be huge- and what happened to us in Amphibia, which I figured was too crazy not to write about..."
this is nice, Sasha thinks to themself as Marcy continues. the three of them are sitting at the Starbucks on Anne's college campus amidst the hustling of busy students. Anne had invited them both to catch up as soon as she'd learned Marcy would be in Los Angeles for the week. finals season was soon, but it wasn't often that Marcy managed to visit, so neither Anne nor Sasha minded taking the time out of their schedules.
Sasha had been more nervous about seeing Anne than any sort of final exam, anyway. they'd all graduated high school two years ago, but sophomore year felt like it had happened just yesterday. and with it...
"so, hold on," Anne interrupts. "you're having two of the main characters get together, just to break them up again? what's the point?"
Marcy's brows furrow together, and they lean forward over the table, tenting their hands. "it's about the angst, Anne. the devotion! they're gonna get back together later on- but not without years of pining. trust me, people eat this shit up. myself included."
Sasha's throat bobs. Anne squints. "alright," she concedes. "I mean- well, never mind."
Marcy tilts their head. "what is it? bad trope?"
Anne shakes her head, smiling. "no, not at all. um-"
Sasha doesn't realize his eyes are on Anne's face until it's too late. Anne's gaze flits over to him- they make eye contact for all of a microsecond. it feels more like a decade. warm brown meets mismatched mahogany and cyan, and everything buried beneath days and weeks and months and lifetimes of misunderstandings and rushed emotions surfaces in a heartbeat. he's sixteen all over again; he's hoping all over again, because he’ll never be able to let Anne go, not fully. Sasha's insides are molten- what's a glance like this supposed to mean while their friend is talking about true love and yearning?
externally, the situation is a little more embarrassing: her cheeks flush a faint pink, and a squeak escapes her that's thankfully muffled by the sounds of the people around them. and then Anne looks back at Marcy, making Sasha's chest feel like it's been suddenly decompressed.
"well, how are you gonna fit years of time into it?" Anne saves herself. she reaches a hand up to scratch the back of her neck. nervous tell, Sasha's mind provides. looks like you're not so sly after all. "won't it be really long?"
Marcy blinks. "no, I'll just do a time-skip. with scattered in flashbacks, of course."
"right. okay, carry on," Anne replies, waving a hand.
Sasha exhales slowly. it'd been awkward between her and Anne all day, full of fleeting glances and accidental brushing of hands in between their regular back-and-forth. they'd been trying to keep it together for Marcy's sake- luckily, Marcy seemed oblivious to the tension between them.
Marcy pauses. "I could carry on," they muse. "but- Anne, that's not what you were gonna say originally, was it?"
spoke too soon.
Anne's face pales minutely. "er- I dunno what you mean."
"hm. well, that's okay," Marcy says. there's a wicked glint in their eye. "by the way, you do know some parts of this are based off of true events? I did mention that, yeah?"
"yes, you did," Sasha finally chips in, voice all but strangled.
Marcy grins. "I just think it'd be funny- I mean, let me rephrase-"
"Marcy," Anne warns, and now her face is red.
"oh, come on, guys," Marcy protests, finally breaking. "don't act like I haven't noticed... whatever is going on between you two!" they sigh dramatically. "I mean, for the love of- are you guys seeing anyone? each other, maybe?"
Sasha chokes on his drink. Anne drops her head into her hands with an audible thud.
"no," Anne mumbles, muffled. Sasha is hacking up a lung; Anne removes one of her hands from her face to thump Sasha's back a few times.
"thanks," Sasha splutters. "wow. uh-" they cough again. "no, we're not- no."
Marcy rolls their eyes. "you should." they stand up abruptly, and Sasha's heart kicks into overtime. "alright, here, I'm going to the bathroom. figure it out before I'm back."
"wh- Marcy!"
"for the trope, you two!" they shout back at the table, already halfway across the room. "for the trope!"
"good lord," Sasha groans, sliding down in his chair.
"so much for a normal catching up," Anne grumbles.
"cheers." Sasha takes a long sip of her drink, staring hard at the table's surface.
Anne exhales. "no, I shouldn't say that. it's been fun. it's just- the-" Sasha looks up to see Anne gesturing between the two of them. "whatever."
"hey," Sasha quips in mock offense. "we can be normal."
Anne snorts. "yeah, sure."
there's silence for a few long moments.
"you think they're spying on us?" Sasha finally whispers.
"probably," Anne snickers. her voice is a little shaky, but it's bright; it's happy. she stirs her drink idly. "you know, we did promise them we'd listen to them more often."
"we did."
"...so."
Sasha meets Anne's gaze, gentle. "so."
"we should probably do that, right?" the question is shy.
Sasha huffs out a laugh under his breath. "depends." his hands are visibly trembling. "you have something you wanna get off your chest, Boonchuy?"
Anne smiles, eyes twinkling.

hey there! I got here via your dream post and stuck around to read your writing. The “realistic” sci fi worldbuilding is very cool - especially detailed explanations of how tech like FTL travel works! Have you considered running a homebrew campaign, or partnering with someone who writes character/plot driven fiction? I find that tends to generate a larger audience. Your character first-person writing has some interesting ideas! Quick tip - the overuse of commas chops up sentence flow and makes prose more difficult to read. Try editing to remove some!
Hey anon, I appreciate the ask and the compliments very much! Thanks for joining me here in my little corner of the web! I'm really glad you like my work; that makes me very happy to hear because I pour a lot of time and love into it!
...Buuut you've sort of hit a nerve here so I hope you're prepared for an essay response! I'm sorry in advance for how long this turned out to be and I hope this doesn't drive you off, eheh. Again, I do genuinely appreciate the feedback.
See, my default method of storytelling is speculative fiction: a concept or set of concepts is the center of the work, and almost all my characters are just cogs in the story machine. Sure, I have some characters I’m attached to, but the vast majority are just there because they have to be. They’re not the point of the story. Characters ARE important, but they rank lower to me than worldbuilding. When I generate story ideas, the characters are just temporary vehicles for the audience to connect with a concept I’m presenting.
And with that, we come to the problem that you've brought up which kicks me right in the ass every time: people always latch onto the characters, and don't give half as much of a damn about the setting. Yeah, I'm sensitive about that! Because I fall in love with technical details like planetary system structure and the mechanics of warp drives in much the same way as everyone else fixates on their "blorbos." That's why, when it comes to original work, you'll pretty much only find worldbuilding and writing posts on the blog –not to say I don't ever post anything about my OCs, but I can write whole essays about setting details and none of my OCs have that same depth.
And, anon? I'd like you to imagine how alienating that feels. I can't help but be upset when all of my friends are having fun making character playlists and talking about shipping while I'm sitting over in my corner with a twenty-page spreadsheet detailing the statistics of hundreds of stars and planets that nobody wants to read, because it's boring to everyone but me! I have tried to get involved, making characters for the hell of it to play in the same space as my friends. I wanna be excited about them, but they just don't hold my interest nearly as much. I can't change this, and it kinda fucking sucks sometimes!!!
Yes, sure, I could absolutely partner with someone who's better at characters and character-centric plot than I am! That's a good and practical suggestion! But you know what would happen? People would latch onto those characters and pay them much more attention than the setting they stem from, and I honestly don't think I could cope with that. I've tried this too, actually; I'm the one doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the Midnight Sea lore. I love getting into the gullyworks, tinkering around and fitting all the pieces together, making the world tick like a well-constructed mechanism. I know my friends like that about me too! That feels good! I just wish I got more credit/attention for that in itself, rather than for what it enables. I'm the minority when it comes to fictional focus, and I just have to live with that.
Also, yes, I'm aware I have a tendency to use lots of commas. I'm very sorry it hinders you, but it actually helps me when I read things back and when I'm organizing my thoughts. I'm sorry but that's a stylistic choice I don't think I can shake, but I'll try to be mindful of my comma usage going forward. ^~^;
Let me reiterate just one more time that I genuinely appreciate your ask, and I hope you stick around! I'm glad you're here! I'm sorry this got a little venty and I hope this doesn't come off as defensive or rude. It's just that this is something I feel strongly about and I wanted to take the opportunity to be honest about one of my biggest and most persistent struggles.

ok spiderman p5 au thing that infests my brain is coming out
mostly based on ultimate spiderman and spiderverse since those are the 2 im super familiar with.
akira is spider-man obviously. after getting sent to tokyo because of the normal p5 reasons he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets the normal spider powers (proportional strength, spider sense, heightened agility), with the addition of being able to get a better read on people's thought process (i dont think spiders can actually do this but i wanted to reference the personas in some way) and induce a low level of delusion in other people, making them more likely to tell the truth with a spider toxin thing. you know the deal i can make shit up. hes initially unwilling to be spider-man until stuff really gets bad with kamoshida, and then is only willing to do it whilst disguised to avoid fucking up his criminal record even more. loves actually being spiderman tho.
sojiro is almost unchanged except stuff with wakaba is different but hes still gruff but comes to love akira in more or less the same way as in p5. hates when theres supervillain fights outside his cafe (oops)
ryuji learn's akira's secret immediately and encourages him to be a hero, partly bc he thinks its cool, partly because he thinks he has a responsibility to use his powers for justice of some kind, partly to get back at kamoshida for being a massive piece of shit. he stays akira's best friend throughout his time in tokyo and almost has his side.
ann is 2nd to learn akira's secret and also encourages him to fight kamoshida (im getting to him btw). She designs the suit as well and makes it with akira. she also wants akira to be a hero but is much more cautious and worried about things than ryuji
i have no idea what to do with morgana but im thinking hes gonna be another superhero, idk what tho. probably like a shapeshifter or something? more thought is required.
Kamoshidas like. a superhero who double times as a teacher, still an abusive shitbag but now hes like publically worshipped. hes akiras first big fight after akira spreads the truth about him with calling cards and gets him to admit to his crimes publically, at which point he has to run away in shame. partly i based him on kamoshidaman (although i dont actually know anything abt pq2 im just assuming) and also mysterio in far from home.
shiho is basically the same except ill bring her back into the story later for something. havent planned that far ahead. she will date ann tho.
most other characters i only have vague ideas for, such as makoto having an alive father (nothing bad could happen to a police captain father in a spider man story surely) and futaba developing tech for akira. its the only way i can think to get him webslingers tbh. for akechi i have something cooking as well but im writing a fic for this so i kinda dont wanna spoil that bc i think its cool. im trying my best to be accurate to the characters personalities ut akira will probably be more quippy than usual bc it just feels wrong for any spider man not to quip. so yeah. other than that i think he maps onto spider man pretty well tbh, hes got the public hate campaign, the saviour complex, the sense of justice, hes stylish and hes got a social life going on to manage at the same time. haru also has some specific stuff i wanna do with her.
also this is a marvel like au so other superheros exist but its an americacentric phenomenon however the phoenix ranger feathermen are real. idk what ill do with them but they are bc it felt wrong to only have like 2 superheros. there might be others too. idk. maybe its more of ust a superhero au with specific marvel ideas. wahtever.
if i had the time and skill to do art for this id love to do it in the style of the original p5 intro with limited colours other than red and black to white spectrum. it would look cool and set it apart visually. also it would look a bit like the guy she was intereted in which i love visually so yeah.
anyway yea this is a pretty specific crossover so cant wait for no-one to care but yea ill update this with more later

My OCs Masterlist
I got tired of having to look through my mess of a computer to find drawings and other stuff about old OCs and characters I might wanna use in the future, and I’m bored right now so I figured I’d make a list with all of my important OCs, or at least the ones that mean the most to me.
These are not ALL of my OCs, just the main ones for their respective stories/campaigns. But there’s still a lot, lol. Also I’m not counting Niss for this list, even if she’s an OC in my heart. You can learn more about her in my pinned post anyway.
(Note: Art is either made by me, my partner @pastlight or has been commissioned by various artists)
1)
Metchi
Tumblr media
You know how parents say they don’t have a favorite child? Well I do and it’s Metchi. ‘What if someone decided they wanted to do good purely out of spite and had pretty much everything stacked against them?’ I asked myself. ‘What if she was also a grungy trans girl who has no fucking clue what she’s doing and is constantly bickering with the deity inside her head?’ was the next question. And from that, Metchi was born. The willpower to burn a hole through Mt. Coronet yet the resources and energy of someone who considers cigarettes the most effective breakfast.
2)
Tumblr media
Nico
He’s my PC from our current (in hiatus) Pokemon tabletop campaign. A Lumiosian street artist and Sky Trainer who enjoys throwing himself off of high places and being completely fucking incomprehensible to all who meet him. The only neurons in his brains are dedicated to serving looks, calling the wind to his command and delivering the most unhinged takes on the nature of human happiness he can think of.
3)
Tumblr media
Tulip
‘I would like to make a tragic character whose obsession with the truth will inevitably lead her to ruin’ I thought. ‘Oh, fuck’ Tulip replied. Out of all my stories, hers is currently my favorite from a writing perspective, and I owe a lot of that to Tulip herself, always willing to push and push until something pushes back, because it’s what she thinks she owes to the people who were just as unfortunate as her. And I love her for it.
4)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope and Hunter
These two come in a package deal. ‘Small town life-long friendship’ is something I’ve been meaning to try my hand at writing for a while, and though their story is at the very beginning, I like them quite a lot already. A lot of my personal history with friendships and growing up into your twenties is imbued into them, though they are cooler and dumber and more than willing to take those things to their natural extremes.
5)
Tumblr media
Ska
Protagonist of my yet in-progress, unnamed visual novel I’m working on. She’s a sheltered Fae changeling with a death sentence hanging over her head, and a desperate desire to do as much stupid shit as possible before something ends up killing her. She has a bat and absolutely sucks at using it, and she’s hopelessly in love with both of her best friends. I love her deeply, and I hope I can share her with everyone soon.
6)
Tumblr media
Shadi
Absolute trash human being, possibly the worst woman in Sinnoh, lover of drama and shadow magic and also Dark Souls. What if an older sister was allowed to be as evil as her little heart desired? Well, that’s Shadi. Obviously there’s more to her, but I like making fun of her. I think she’s a funny character on her own right, except when she’s doing horrible shit to my other OCs, which is often. In any case, she’s one of my favorites to write for a reason.
7)
Tumblr media
Eatos
Eatos is... weird. They don’t have a set story, they kinda bounce around a few of my works being mysterious and off-putting and tricking people with smoke/illusion magic. They exist in the same universe as Ska, and in that world at least they’re a human with the power of a Fae artifact. I’ll get more of a chance to develop them someday.
8) (Really old drawing, I didn’t even have a tablet back then lol)
Tumblr media
Shadi... 2!
Yeah I have a few characters named Shadi, I just really like the name. Anyway this particular Shadi may be my first actual OC, back when I was... fuck, I dunno, fourteen? I don’t know how relatable this is, but she’s the OC that made me think ‘I’m gonna write her story and become a famous fantasy author and write a bunch of books and-’ and you know the drill. That didn’t quite end up happening, but I don’t regret it much. I did write a book, but my creative goals right now are very different from back then, and I’m happy with that. One step at a time. Still, I care a lot about Shadi for basically getting me into writing fiction, and someday I hope I can write a story that’ll serve as thanks for her.
9
Tumblr media
Cole
PC for another Pokemon tabletop campaign that unfortunately never progressed much. Which is a shame, because I like this guy, even if he’s so hard to relate to sometimes that I have trouble writing him. He’s nn ex League/army man who now lives peacefully in Pacifidlog alongside his Electrode called Maradona. He loves dogs to a comical degree (the only part about him I understand) and spends most of his time drinking beer, wishing he could drive fast vehicles and helping out Darya, his neighbor and aspiring contest star.
10)
Tumblr media
Machi
Uh... yeah, we’re getting into the really old ones. I don’t remember much about Machi other than she was a hired killer and lived with a guy who did all her murder planning for her because the pay was good and he hated his job that much. It was from her story that Eatos came forth, so it’s a shame that they ended up being so much more interesting to me than Machi. I still like her, though.
11)
Tumblr media
Tala
Listen, we all gotta have an edgy OC with a sword, and Tala was mine. Another PC for an even older Pokemon tabletop, maybe even THE oldest. I went around from loving him when I created him, to despising him a few years after and now kinda liking him again, just because he’s so ridiculous in his drama queen ways. He almost rivals Niss in that regard. But yeah, cool sword, tragic backstory, crabby personality, the works. What do you want from me? I loved that shit when I was a dumb kid.
Anyway... there are more of them, but these are the main ones I remember. Of course there’s also Reiko and Percy and characters like that, but they’re different kinds of OCs, and I already posted about them before.
No point to this post other than to have them on here for future reference.

Who’s your favorite OC??? Can you tell me all about them in as much or as little detail as you like???
choosing from my children !! i couldn't choose but I can definitely tell you about literally all of them >:))
I have ocs that i haven't really developed like valka, solo and Ilya that just exist because I think they are super pretty and thats about it and I have characters like grim and vasil that i have A LOT to talk about but want to keep secret for the campaigns they're in (don't wanna spoil for the players!!)
BUT my oldest and tbh most beloved oc has to be mersi! You probably seen him he's the slutty red tiefling that i draw in compromising positions so often, he is my whisper bard who's clinically insane and unmedicated and god who let him outside in the wild and i just love him so much !! my first ever dnd character !!! if you wanna know the nitty gritty details of him i have a notion full of everything!
the other oc that i rlly love is romeo! he is the other bard i play, and he's a dhampir made of marble! he is the definition of "aw he's cute,,,wait he's fucked up actually" and that was my goal all along >:) i wanted to write and play a character that had a lot of metaphors connected to breaking and shattering and it was like kinda perfect to make him out of marble in that case too cause wow, storytelling am i right! he just need to work on himself which he really does not want to do but the people around him really care for him which - we'll have to see what happens!
(I have a notion for him too )
prophet is another dnd character I played shortly, my big buff barbarian elf lady! I haven't written about her a lot but she was basically built as a war machine by her kind-of-dad who was an evil son of a bitch who then left her. and she went on this whole arc of like, self-realization and also humanity which she didn't have before. she eventually killed her father and that's how her arc ended but damn, she was so much fun to play!
I really hope to talk about Grim and Vasil more as their campaigns start and continue tbh and i can't wait to share it with everyone!!!

For context for those who didn't know, Nargles and I have had the pleasure of getting comments from a particular user called Pine Fresh, who seems to find joy in commenting negatively on fics I recommend, as well as my own. They recently implied I was a Nazi apologist for letting Draco Malfoy "off the hook" in Castles, which is kinda funny until it's not (for more on that, see below the cut haha) and now called Nargles' Harry a piece of shit for failing to save his best friend 😭 Poor kid lol.
But since in all probability, Pine Fresh is stalking this tumblr: hello, Pine Fresh, what is your deal, actually? Will you tell me why you're not only shitting on my comment section, but also on that of the fics I recommend? will you explain why you seem so hellbent on people facing the consequences of their actions, while being a dickhead on a burner account? Please give me answers, I'm dying to hear them 😆.
Now, this being said, as I said above, this kind of behaviour is kinda funny until it's not, so i'll just use this ask as a vessel to discuss this a bit further, my apologies, please feel free to ignore me.
The interesting thing about the argument regarding the Malfoys being "Nazis" (in the way that Death Eaters in general are an analogy for nazis) is that in a way, it is true. I totally agree with that interpretation. And, as I discussed here yesterday, there is a very real, very intentional level of impunity for them in castles, which a) is meant to reflect the way these things happen in the real world and, b) takes into account a level of subtlety in responsibilities, particularly on Draco's side because he was a minor, forced into a situation he couldn't get out of, etc. The impunity is relative, because Draco does go to prison, but yes, there's definitely a level of him being let off the hook. I don't dispute that at all.
But I think one thing that this crowd of commenters fails to deliver on is this: what would be an appropriate sentence, though? because, truly, how do you make sure "nazis" face "consequences?" looking at History, a lot of them ran. some of them were put on trial, with varying results. some of them were simply shot by mobs after the war ended. the women who slept with them were at best shaved and shamed, at worst raped or shot or both. so, what do proper consequences look like? how far do you go? do consequences even help (and if so, help who)?
I briefly touched on this in my post yesterday, but I think the question that castles asks with the storyline about the trials is exactly that. what is justice? what is rebuilding a world on solid ground? do you prioritise vengeance, or do you prioritise giving people a chance to repent? what does doing your best look like? and, whilst i don't want to make this post about one specific stupid comment, i find it really interesting that in theirs, this person also said they "missed the old harry," that he'd morally compromised himself by testifying for the malfoys, etc. because that is actually, i think, one of the only areas in which harry doesn't change in castles. harry has always been on the side of giving people a second chance. he is almost pathologically forgiving. him testifying in favour of the malfoys is the most harry thing he could ever do. and, i think there's a level of subtlety in abstract principles meeting real world realities that is very interesting, and should talked about more. i think i will surprise no one by saying that choice and accountability are huge themes in castles, and something i think we all very much question at different stages of the fic (hell, even malfoy does, when he blames everything in his speech on "the system", then basically executes a death sentence on amycus carrow). it's a subtle one that is sort of hard to reconcile, which obviously most of my readers get, because i'm very blessed with readers that generally own functioning brain cells.
which brings me to my actual point: why do some arseholes on the internet just refuse to use their brains (lol)?
because, let me state this for the record: i truly believe that the level of intellectual dishonesty that is required to a) mistaking my character's opinions for my own and refusing to understand the concept of an unreliable narrator by calling me a nazi apologist, and b) refusing to understand that the level of "impunity" in the wizarding world is there specifically to ask a question about justice, rather than to answer it, is 100% intentional. i cannot reasonably fathom that someone would be intellectually capable to go through 13 chapters of castles and come out so completely missing the point, especially a point that Literally Everyone Else gets. it's not being ignorant, it's being intentionally obtuse and calling people nazi sympathisers, which i have no patience for.
And, the frustrating thing is, comments like these (I am obviously not the only one getting them, this is a wider phenomenon) come from a "side" of the fandom that actually means well. It's the side that says: "don't excuse/romanticise/condone nazism," which is obviously an argument I sympathise with. You may not believe this considering the things I write, but as a person, I'm actually someone who's pretty black and white. I think Nazism is Wrong (shocker, I know) and that there aren't really any excuses for those who hold these beliefs. I believe in good and evil, and I'm quite unforgiving. Obviously, writing Harry in castles is a way to explore another side of that, of being in someone else's head, and obtain answers on things I can't always reconcile. That's the point of creativity.
This being said, I don't think I'd be saying anything new by acknowledging the fact that internet discourse (and thus, fandom discourse) has gotten incredibly polarised, to an extent that both sides now seem unable to understand (let alone empathise with) one another, sadly leading to comments like these. Any attempt at subtlety, or showing another opinion, is perceived as promoting it, and thus should be called out. But, such comments on fics like castles are so glaringly missing the point that it may seem, at first almost comical. this is not calling out something that is actively problematic and actually "wrong", it's being purposefully intellectually obtuse about something, then calling someone you don't know a nazi apologist from a burner account. let me get that medal out for you, the bravery is outstanding lol. Because, let's be honest: if the idea of Malfoy letting off the hook the way he is in castles was actually problematic, my comment section would be filled with people with the same opinion. It may sound surprising to some but most of the people who read castles are not actually nazi sympathisers (another shocker, i know). I would even chance the assumption that they're politically quite far left, given how far left the fic truly is (and how far left i am, PLEASE BURN THE RICH 😆). So, if I were to actually wake up tomorrow and start calling for the murder of an entire race in my fic, I would hazard that they would call me out on it. (Or, at least, I sure hope so lol).
And, so, yes, the deal with Pine Fresh (and people like them) who are currently discovering the concept of organised societal impunity through the Malfoys, and refusing to use their brains to read pieces of art that are specifically calling that out critically is that they're just... trolling. Right? They're just internet trolls. They're left-leaning trolls rather than right-leaning trolls, but they are trolls. They're sitting there telling everyone who write any fic featuring Death Eaters with some sort of moral ambiguity that they're Nazi sympathisers, whilst refusing to understand context and develop reading comprehension. And, don't get me wrong there are fics, out there, which do promote these unspeakable ideas. I don't read them, but I'm sure. And, of course, we should be rising up against those. But seeing someone say that about castles makes me want to vomit in the same way as it would if someone were to pretend to misunderstand it as promoting rape. I will accept and debate a lot of things, but that's crossing a line.
And, the typical response I get in fandom when I rant about this is "ugh, just don't respond, don't feed the trolls". I've already explained why this is unsatisfying to me here. The second response I get is also: "ugh, it's just an uneducated kid, whatever," which I find equally annoying because this is such a typical way for adults to dismiss young people and their opinions, just because they're young. It acts as though all young people are irrational pricks who lack an understanding of the world and reading comprehension, which could not be further from the truth. In my experience, most young people are actually not like that. I would guess that I have dozens (if not hundreds) or readers who are minors, who understand subtlety very well, and do not call me a nazi in my comment section. using a single arsehole to dismiss a whole class of people does my head in.
and, so, i think the place you land on following this discussion is: why do trolls troll? and the irony is: because there are no consequences to their actions. Because as utterly ridiculous as it sounds, "calling out" someone for writing something you're actively being obtuse about bears no consequences whatsoever in the grand scheme of things, whilst also providing you with the mistaken satisfaction of having done the "right" thing. But stifling any and all conversation is actually not the right thing. Being an idiot is not the right thing. And, while comments like these are a low-level annoyance to me, they can be crushing to other writers, especially if they're starting out. and, what I think angers me most is that it's idiots like these that make it so that progressives are constantly being ignored and dismissed when the conversations actually are important. When some countries in Europe actually are seeing a resurgence in nationalist and authoritarian movements and regimes that should be called out. It's like firing all your bullets at an empty wall, then being surprised when the enemy does come and you have no more. It's fucking infuriating and I don't know how to stop it.
so, yeah, it's kind of funny, but it's also kind of not.

4, 9, 19, 20, 25 for the end of the year meme?
4. Movie of the year?
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, hands down. i'm not a big movie person honestly but i'm so glad i went and saw this w/ some friends. left a blubbering mess. i can definitely tell it's one of those movies i'll be watching over and over again ;w; also watched the fear street trilogy on netflix w/ my friend and really enjoyed those!!
9. Best month for you this year?
probably february! i had a pretty sturdy head on my shoulders and was feeling generally inspired (artistically, mentally, etc.) and stable having experienced the fleeting confidence that came with a diagnosis that i (at the time) thought was really fitting. it didn't last long but it was nice to feel confident for a while that i knew how to approach stuff moving forward. this year generally sucked but i wasn't so horribly burnt out for the beginning of it, so that was nice :'^)
19. What’re you excited about for next year?
having a game plan! i got diagnosed with ADHD in the later part of this year AND i addressed some of my career-related burnout issues with my boss (due to being severely overworked and underpaid, etc.) and visible changes are ACTUALLY being made. i feel like even though this year was objectively fucking awful, i spent a lot of time performing the very arduous task of laying a good foundation for not only next year, but the rest of my life lmao i was able to prioritize stuff and draw some hard boundaries with myself toward the end of the year and i hope to stick to them next year
20. What’s something you learned this year?
i think my answer for 19 suffices here, but in a more literal sense, i learned a lot of neat coding stuff for work! i'm MUCH better than where i was at the beginning of the year and i'm picking up stuff really quick ;w;
25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one
MANY lmao, i got to make a little rock gremlin kid named ferris for our alolan pkmn ttrpg campaign (which we haven't played much of but i love ferris a BUNCH)
i also sat down and made like three new characters for my lesbian space catgirls story :^) ideally in a perfect world i would actually make this a little dating sim but for now it's just a word doc lmao. but in my head?? basically a dating sim with cute little tasks and dialogue options to win the favor of the romance-able characters.
i'm particularly fond of merrit, who is an anti-social basement-wizard merchant very passionate about her wares. her role is to just sell shit but you can also romance her by asking her to info-dump about her favorite featured items. she initially comes off as a kinda cold and aloof mysterious cool kid, but after you earn her trust you can see she's a huge fuckin dweeb. i cherish her deeply ghdlfjsk no snart that i wanna share yet tho i'm currently just rotating her in my head :^) she wears a cape with a hood and has SO many pockets

Hello!!! I saw your tags on a post and I'm so sorry but I simply must be nosey about your circus dnd character and their changeling partner 👀👀👀 please tell me more about them!!! (Only if you're comfortable of course!!)
OMG!! yes absolutely!! ok mild rant ahead aksjldh
So his name is Dorathel Lefevbre (Dolly as a nickname) he's a sheep themed tiefling! his dad was a sheppard so he grew up arround sheep a lot and he got picked up by the circus after an angry mob burned down his house (and potentially parents) cause they were dumb and afraid and thought they were raising a demon he was lk 9 he didnt actually SEE them die but he also hasnt been back to his home town ever since cause untill he sees the graves they might still be alive so BUT yeah the circus is awesome its all feywild themed! theres a hag, a watter nympth a centaur, all kinds of fun stuff! the owner of the circus used to be lk royalty in the feywild but moved over and brought some of his friends to start a circus cause no one was impressed by magic over there Dorathel is a tight rope walker and sword swallower glamor bard, and his partner is Zazel or Zee for short(they/them), a changeling who also got a kinda shit life, their parents were dopplegangers who used zazel to scam people and tried to sell them to the circus for profit so the circus owner actually said yes to get them out of that shitty situation They re a bit older than dorathel but they became really good friends and then lovers and grew up together as an acting duo! doing stunts and acrobatic stuff together! Zazel is a swords bard/rogue multiclass and they re a knife thrower (so lots of performances together of them throwing knives and dorathel being the assistant) they re very much incredibly in love lk they re THAT annoying couple just being obnoxious over how much they love each other asjkdad they ve also broken each other out of jail a few times for getting into trouble the circus leader disapeared out of nowhere, left only his jacket that he wears now everywhere, so Dorathel's main mission in a campaign whenever i play him will be to look for clues for what happened while Zazel stays at the circus shapeshifting into the leader to keep up appearances and keep the show going. They ve talked about getting married but want it to be special so they both agreed to bet on who can make the most over dramatic insane proposal first askjd with the leader back to officiate them/walk them down the isle! i already got their wedding outfits ready and all! Dorathel is gonna spend all the time just either using Sending every day to check on them or just constnatly write letters back and forth akjsd have some art of them! ps! the golden ribbon thing they both have on the tail and neck, is made from 2 halfs of the first ticket they ever sold for their act together! this way they re always together (and dorathel can recognize Zazel no matter what shape they take <3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
thats mostly it i think! dorathel was my first ever dnd character and has gone through a lot of changes across the years, i put a lot of my self in him and its been a really great way to explore gender expression so he really means a lot to me, and its super fun to have 2 ocs super in love for whenever i wanna draw wholesome content, currently in a campaign with a different character cause it fit better thematically, so i cant wait to play with Dorathel one day! <3 hope you enjoy it and thank you again for asking! i draw nearly exclusively my own dnd characters so im always down to talk about them to whoever is interested ^^ (do feel free to dm me if you wanna/are comfortable to talk about any character of yours i d love to hear about them as well!)

this is truly just for my own sanity, but i'm going to write out what i have prepped for my avatar campaign to make it all make sense and if anyone feels like reading it, have at it
the basic adventure hook is that some of toph's newest metalbending students were kidnapped by bending supremacists in cranefish town (to get money from toph, to get her to join their cause, it's ambiguous atm). the PCs are investigating alongside Tsemo, an Air Acolyte who has sworn off his earthbending as part of his devotion to the cause, and Ru (from the Imbalance comics), a non-bending former supremacist who is now a sergeant in cranefish town's police force.
i think my hangup is that i'm not sure what the real mystery/conflict is here. the supremacists - now much more underground, led by Jinhai, a charismatic, down-to-earth guy (who is maybe also Tsemo's brother??? I haven't decided, but they have similar backstories) - definitely took the students and are hiding them somewhere. my plan was just to make them as sympathetic as possible. like, Jinhai wants the ransom money literally to pay struggling benders' rent and keep them away from some of the gangs/early triads that have risen up.
i might just be in my head about it because we haven't played in a while, and our last session was the first of this arc and i wasn't sure that my players were really buying into it. we ended with Ukiuk, the waterbender, running into one of her deceased son's friends in an alley. i'm planning on him being a victim of a gang, which is kind of driving him toward the supremacists - since he's from the NWT, i wanna go with the POV of like, "hey, the south lost all their benders and they were almost wiped out."
that particular gang, the Gutgrinder Gang, is led by a firebender (my party's firebender Chaabi might know her/of her, idk), who i'd love to be either Tsemo or Jinhai's ex if only for the drama of it all, and is def a former supremacist.
if the opportunity comes up, I also really want to make an NPC who was a victim of Chaabi's biggest mistake in the last arc, when she set a spa on fire and endangered dozens of innocents, I just don't really know where they fit in. I was going to use the Cabbage Merchant as a witness but it feels really hard to use him for comedy and something kinda serious lol, so maybe I'll just reskin him to some random townsperson. but I also wanted to use his abandoned Cabbage Bistro has a gang hideout..... hmmmmmmmm.......
idk i look at all this and i'm like, is it connected enough??? is it too connected???? is it interesting???? i've never actually written a campaign before so this is totally new territory for me. hopefully we finally get to play next week!!!
