Hello! Just recently found your blog, and I am in love with your fanfic, Glitch In Irminsul!
I honestly have no idea if I'm the first one to request on your blog, but I do hope this idea is okay with you!
May I request this: Reader who is a comedian with Cyno, Tighnari and Collei, reacting to Reader making Cyno's bad jokes (quote on quote) "better"? You don't have to find a joke for Reader if you don't wanna :)
I'm a little obsessed with their dynamic as of right now. If you do happen to take this request, thanks :D
Also idk if you wanna take Anons, but if you do someday, is it alright if I claim "🎪 Anon" as my alias? Sorry if I'm asking too much! I hope you have a great day :)
hi!! thanks so much for your request, and your patience!! 🩵 i had a good bit of fun writing this for you, i love bad jokes 🤭
WC. 1092
----- ⚘ -----
As the General Mahamatra, and having been personally assigned to your guard by Lesser Lord Kusanali herself, it is Cyno’s sworn duty to attend to every need and whim of the almighty Creator.
And when the Creator demands that you tell them your absolute worst joke, the one that nobody has ever even laughed at yet, well, who is he to deny them?
“- didn’t realize that, at that very moment, a Hydro slime was praying to meet a lone, stranded traveler.” Cyno finishes the joke with a straight face, at the exact same moment that the door to the hut swings open, revealing Tighnari and Collei with several bags of groceries in their arms.
“Oh, Cyno, not the slime joke again.” Tighnari groans over the sound of your absolutely raucous laughter at the horrible joke.
“But the Creator likes it.” Cyno protests, gesturing to you hanging part way off the table and clutching your stomach. You honestly don’t find the joke itself all that funny, but the sheer confidence with which he tells it paired with the completely deadpan expression he has is sending you into hysterics.
“They’re going to eat each other!” You gasp, trying to sit back properly on the chair. A few lingering giggles hit you when you see Tighnari’s deeply disappointed expression. “Hahaha… but slimes don’t have a mouth, do they? How would it eat the person?”
“Exactly!” Tighnari says, pointing at Cyno with the hand not holding the groceries. “It doesn’t make any sense! Slimes wouldn’t-”
“And what did the stranded traveler say in that situation?” You add, confusing both Tighnari and Cyno into silence. Cyno blinks a few times, visibly wondering if there was a part of the joke that he forgot to tell, and he’s about to ask for clarification when Collei beats him to the punch.
“Your Grace, the traveler didn’t say anythi-” Collie begins, but you’re already on a roll.
“He said, ‘it must be slime for dinner!’”
You can’t help but erupt into laughter again at seeing everyone’s reactions: Collei’s slow realization, Cyno perking up excitedly, and Tighnari imploding with exasperation.
“You see, because ‘slime’ sounds like ‘time’-”
“Yes, Cyno. Thanks. I got the gist.”
You’re still gasping for air, leaning back in the chair and bracing yourself on the wall behind you. Tighnari’s frown falters a little, your joy infectious even if the joke is terrible.
“Slime for dinner, and sand for dessert!” You add, and Cyno chuckles even as he brings out his wretched book of jokes and begins writing an annotation in the margins, which Tighnari is sure the librarian will greatly appreciate later. “Get it? ‘Cause dessert, and desert?”
Tighnari is about to snarkily reply, when a surprising sound catches his attention. He turns with a horrified expression to Collei, who has her hand over her mouth and eyes wide in disbelief.
“Oh no, Collei…” Tighnari says warningly, shaking his head, which causes the girl to snort again and she quickly puts down her groceries before she can drop them.
“I- I’m sorry, Master,” she fights through her giggles, which only spurs you and Cyno on. “It’s just… it’s so bad…”
“Come on, ‘Nari, it’s just a joke,” Cyno attempts to bring the Valuka Shuna in on the fun. “Think of it as a way to break the ice.”
“Yeah, Tighnari,” you add. “Snow fun otherwise.”
Collei lets out a full belly laugh, to Tighnari’s dismay and Cyno’s apparent confusion.
“You’ve never laughed at my jokes like that,” the general points out, and Collei can only laugh harder.
“We’re morally obligated to laugh at the Creator’s jokes, ‘lest Their Grace smite us with impunity.” Tighnari states tonelessly, completely opposing his own statement.
That’s about as much as you can take. You slide bonelessly off the chair, howling with laughter on the floor like some kind of hyena.
“Look what you did! You corrupted the Creator!”
“The Creator told that joke all on their own!”
While Cyno and Tighnari are bickering, Collei helps you off of the floor, steadying you in your chair as you both come down from your laughing. She checks you over to make sure you didn’t injure yourself on your way down, then grabs her bag and rummages through it before producing a shiny red apple.
“We brought snacks!” she announces, handing you the fruit proudly. “And we have the stuff for dinner tonight! We picked these fresh, though. They’re very sweet this season!”
You take the apple with a grin and rub it on your shirt to clean it before taking a bite.
“Wow, these really are sweet! Thanks, Collei!” You marvel at how good the apple tastes, somehow different from Earth’s apples, with a refreshing, sugary taste.
“You’re very welcome!” Collei beams at the praise. “I’m gonna go get Master Tighnari to stop griping and help me with dinner, now, though.”
You perk up at the mention of cooking. “Is there anything I can do to help?���
“Oh, gosh, no! You’re our guest, please let us take care of it!” Collei insists, then scurries over to the other two.
You decide to follow her just as she’s asking Tighnari for help with cooking. The botanist huffs with mild annoyance, his tail sweeping from side to side.
“I’m not sure Cyno needs dinner, Collei,” he states. “Since he wants to act childish, perhaps it would be best to put him in time-out for the evening.”
“That’s not very knife of you, Tighnari,” you say before you can stop yourself. “Why don’t you fork-give him for now so we can have dinner together?”
Tighnari squints at you, somehow sensing you’ve made a pun (or two) despite your straight delivery.
“... Are you going to stop with the jokes too, Your Grace?” he asks, his ear flicking.
“What jokes? Collei wanted to ask for your help with the cooking. How can you say no to dish face?” You sidle up behind Collei and use your pointer fingers to make her smile, which she tolerates with surprising grace. “Isn’t she adora-bowl?”
“...” Tighnari maintains his stance for a few more seconds, and then sighs in defeat. “I don’t have a counter to that. Very well, I suppose I can let it slide for tonight, since it’s for you, Your Grace…”
“Hehehe, counter,” you mumble, which causes Collei to erupt into giggles once more, and Cyno to look extremely pleased with your ability.
And Tighnari to make a noise of exasperation, throwing his hands up and stomping toward the kitchen on his own.
“That’s it! I’ve had enough! I’m leaving!”

shit sent that while shiffling stuff around
ANYWAYS
mc is such a fucking mood, like thats me the fuck! (but its also probably you the fuck and most of us tumblr crawlers the fuck (affectionate)) "I’m dying and my brain is producing chemicals to make me hallucinate to save me from the pain of death" fucking love that! got the same fucking vibes as 'me? im more likely a stress induced hallucination' "so what youre saying is, i finally snapped :)" which is my fucking jam i love that type of humor and also just the overthinking which like, YEAH BITCH ME TOO, THE FUCK, those illnesses arent to be messed with, in both ways really since theoretically mc could be an asymptotic carrier of stuff (yay, more things for mc to overthink and panic about :D) and ARGH guanyin has so much girlboss (positive) energy and her interacting with mc is great i love it!
also do correct me if im wrong but is frank's existence like a checkov's gun/parallel for like bajie n stuff with how he usually characterized or?
ANYWAYS ILL PROBABLY RETURN WITH MORE RAMBLINGS, or maybe even some memes or incorrect quotes (:0 can i be a secret friend? am i going at too fast a pace? idk im not really good at gauging this stuff, if i can, can i be 🎵 by chance? or maybe nah, idk im just very excited im gonna go on a stimmy trip now)
Eeeeeee! thank you! I had so much fun writing reader but especially that part like that would literally be my reaction if I died and some god/goddess met me on the other side. I'd be like "hahaha so this is what insanity is like :)" And YES! THE ILLNESSES! I always dislike it when isekai or time travel is involved and people just DON'T talk about sicknesses like wtf if you sent a teenager from 2023 (omg its 2023) back even like 50 years old they'd probably fucking die. SO CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT 1500+ YEARS AND ANOTHER WORLD (kinda) WOULD BE LIKE! I glad that you liked Guanyin really wanted to portray her as a confident goddess since while she is the Bodhisattva of Mercy she's ready to cut a bitch like when Wukong was fighting Erlang on ffm she really said "nah I gotchu i'll drop my vase on this bitch ass monkey so they can get the drop on him" and I love that attitude of wanting to help people but not standing for their shit.
lmao i'm glad you caught that. mc is gonna just love bajie.
(You want to be my friend?🥺👉👈 Lol yeah we can be friends🎵 anon. Im actually not that good at making friends so it's nice when I do make them. just be prepared for a lot of cursing and random references lmao) Feel free to come back any time!

1 for the ask game, for every fandom in your tumblr about...!
the character everyone gets wrong
tolkien: tough one. honestly, i feel like due to the nature of the fandom most people have defensible readings of most characters, even if they're not my own? to the extent tht people get characters wrong it's mostly by not thinking abt them very much! I'm inclined to pick Galadriel, though, bc she's also in LotR and so you get LotR fans thinking they can speak to first or second age galadriel, and then u get silm fans overcorrecting and ignoring third age galadriel entirely, and ofc there's the various Sexist Archetypes she gets shoved into by virtue of Being A Woman. actually a Lot of the women in tolkien are characters ppl get wrong a lot. elwing! míriel! indis! idril! lúthien! niënor! haleth! And So On Forever And Ever. this is again mostly due to Simply Not Thinking About Them Very Much tho
wktd: tbh the fandom gets the wktd girls pretty solidly. no real notes here. benefits from being a small fandom for a game with Three characters all of whose issues are pretty spelled out for you & constitute the central plot.
glowfic: im gonna be honest i do not feel confident to speak for other ppl's characters and state what ppl get right/wrong..! like idk man maybe im the one getting them wrong. ppl mostly dont like... write fic or make headcanons for each others glowfic in a way where the author isnt involved in having opinions about it? so if someone was mischaracterizing a glowfic character idk how i would know rly
hannibal: all of them @_@ no one understands this show like i do and it's a perpetual frustration... im gonna throw out abigail as my answer tho bc she sooooo often gets reduced to like, part of the murder family, which ignores soooooo much of her storyline and how much she did not (uncomplicatedly) want that. her relationship with will is So So Complicated but ultimately she likes freddie more than she likes will in some ways! and at least back when i was in the fandom ... ppl dont get that or just treat it as like, a flaw or misunderstanding to be corrected.
tma: ooooo this is a tough one. honestly the fandom was big enough that it's hard for me to say No One in the fandom got characters & in a lot of cases there was the question of like, does the fandom not understand X or do i just not seek out very many fics abt X... e.g. i havent read any tma fic that got georgie very well but also i havent read any georgie-centric tma fic! kind of a skill issue on My part rly!
mcelroy + polygon content: oh this is a trip down memory lane. everyone writes taako very few people write taako well. i'm not a taako fan and instead had Cares About Less Popular Characters disease but i did feel for taako enjoyers for this. i didnt really read polygon rpf so i can't speak to that side of things.
poetry and short stories: i don't think there are rly characters Everyone In The Fandom gets wrong for this tbh. like thats just not rly a coherent thing
the untamed/mdzs: SONG LAN...... i am not even a big song lan fan im a xuexiao stan first and foremost. but good lord. man has like 2 character traits and the ppl writing fic for him cant even remember those! also lwj but with the disclaimer that i have a very specific read of novel!lwj that just doesnt rly apply to untamed!lwj. which most people are writing for. i guess this is also true of song lan but i have more of a sense of "if you care a lot about song lan you should do your due diligence in hunting for scraps of characterization" whereas caring about untamed!lwj and not reading the book is like. yeah okay fair enough. to me.
tgcf: ooooh. hard one. my immediate instinct is mu qing bc i follow the tag and have to read way too much mu qing slander but i have in fact read good mu qing fic.... might stand by that anyway tho. the tgcf tag is like 50% mu qing slander by volume and it makes me sad. mu qing get behind me bby i'll protect u ;-;
dream SMP: hahaha. ha. what character DOESN'T dsmp fandom get wrong. it gets tommy wrong it gets techno wrong it gets phil wrong it gets puffy and niki and hannah wrong it gets dream wrong it gets purpled wrong it gets quackity wrong it gets sam wrong it gets schlatt wrong it gets karl wrong it gets george wrong it gets wilbur wrong it gets LITERALLY EVERYONE wrong. constantly. the only times it doesn't get someone wrong is when it's forgotten that they exist at all (this is about the eggpire but it's also about eryn and fundy and jack manifold and i'm sure many many others i'm not currently remembering). im giving the prize for Getting It Wrong to phil, though. i don't even LIKE phil. but everyone who writes him gets him wrong. they are just writing Generic Bad Dad or Generic Good Dad. he's got traits! i promise!
ok actually since this one's my current special interest i'll go a bit more in depth. tommy's rude & annoying & a fighter, he very very rarely has the sort of fawn response ppl write. techno is funny but he's got emotions and he is usually acting based on those emotions; if you're writing him in s1 he's less based than you think and if you're writing him in s3 he's more based than you think. phil has traits other than being a dad and also if you can't accurately identify which characters he is and is not a dad to then you don't get to write him. puffy, niki, and hannah all have traits other than being women; no, "therapist", "girlboss", and "mom friend" don't count. purpled is not particularly a Manipulated Minor TM, he's an amoral mercenary, he's kinda fucked up by isolation but he's more like punz than he is like tommy or tubbo. none of quackity, sam, and dream are one-dimensional characters whose only trait is Sadistic Abuser but also if you write them without acknowledging that they're sadistic abusers (with the exception of writing about early dsmp/before The Horrors) then you're doing it wrong. same goes for schlatt but with the addition of "he should not under literally any circumstances talk like he's got a tumblr". karl's more of a bitch than that. so's george. wilbur is more of an asshole and less of a creep than that. i could go on literally forever the dsmp fandom gets every single character wrong & it is my burden to be right about all of them u_u

Tattoo Kiss PART 25
-Y/N staring at Eddié´s lips!!!! OMG! Like she should total kiss him
-“That he could´ve had a chance?” OF COURSEEEEEEE. HE´S EDDIE
-"You are too perfect, too out of reach” But Eddie´s perfect too
-I'm still kinda angry for how Robin´s treating Eddie
-Ahhhh. Gareth teasing Eddie! HAHAHA
-Jeff giving false hope? Let me believe that it´s not false hope
-Chrissy and Gareth doing the same is giving besties
-Eddie´s scared of Heather? Why? HAHAHA
-"You refuse to believe that she could ever love you” Ahhhhh
-Again, I HATE how Steve just hurt Y/N like that, like she has no more confidence bc of him! I hate him!
-"Maybe she wNts to be with you but she´s struggling” DING DING DING
-“Eddie would rather get his heart broken than be the one to break yours” Just with that line, HE´S THE ONE. Like Steve acted selfishly when he started to flirt with other girls and with Nancy when Reader was stills with him, he accused Reader to be flirty with other guys when she wasn´t, he kissed her at a party, after what asshole Ray did, knowing that it could be stressful for her!
-“She probably thinks she isn´t good enough” AWWWW, poor Y/N
-“You seem to make each other happy” Yes, they doooo
-Wayne´s the father-in-law (or smth like that?) of Y/N (In my mind!)
-Awww Eddie smiling when he thinks abt Y/N
-“She always chose the sits next to me” AHHHHHH! Even if she didn´t realized that was so so sweet of her!
-Y/N loves Eddie
-They´re besties too
-“who in their right mind would buy their ex boyfriend a birthday present?” HAHAHA she´s right, I feel like it would be kinda uncomfy giving Steve the gift too
-"Then you and Steve can become geeks together” HAHAHAHA
-“You only like me cause I drive you around when your mama Steve is working” AHHH That´s hilarious
-"Eddie is the chaotic dad and i´m the cool babysitter” AHHHHH
-"The babysitter who is secretly dating both the mom and the dad” I WISH!
-AHHHH when Y/N remembers Steve being sweet with her and then when he broke her heart, that hurts, like back then I suppose at the beginning of their relationship, he was good and sweet, then he changed
-"The old him” the one that was good with Y/N and not “possessed” by the jealousy demon?
-"You kept holding onto something that died a long time ago” AHHHHH that hurts
-Poor Steve! Maybe he should start dating Eddie and Reader (Like Dustin said, not me!) and he won´t be alone
-"How´d you manage to keep the good looks?” AWWW, she´s so sweet!
-"You should start playing DnD with the guys” “You mean with Eddie?” YESSSSS OF COURSE! ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!!
-"Him and Eddie pending time together?” Yes! That´s how their love story begins HAHAHA
_"Eddie also loves KFC” Not Y/N trying to make Eddie and Steve date HAHAHA
- He called her honey… UMMM, idk what to think about it
-"The reason is someone else” EDDIEEEEE
Ok, I liked this chapter, the Dustin and Reader parts I loved them! I hope that you write more scenes where Eddie and Reader, Steve and Reader or Steve, Eddie and Reader are in the same places or something like that, but I like that all of them were thinking about the other
-🩷
I’m so happy you liked this chapter!!! 🤭 you’re absolutely getting more of Steve, Eddie and reader together in the next chapter! And it won’t be angsty 🤭
Gareth and Chrissy as besties? Oh my god, maybe they should meet!
I get why you’re mad at Robin, I am too even tho i’m the one who writes this story 😭. She just kinda dropped her friendship with Eddie and started favoring Steve.
Eddie is scared of Heather cause she’s intimidating and readers bodyguard 😂 no guy will ever be good enough for her best friend
Enemies to lovers with steve and eddie? i’ll have to agree 😌

wip folder!
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips.  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!
thx for thinking of me @martsonmars @tea-brigade @johnwgrey - this is a cool game :D ok so i normally have a few fics going at a time, and then i maintain a "graveyard" of stuff ive given up on but COULD come back to. clearly, im a big abandoner lol.
SNOWBAZ
no active wips rn :( i shall be back. but here is the graveyard! looking at these im like damn a couple of these are like basically done idk why i decided not to publish them.... maybe 1 day lol.
Blister / simpardie road trip / timeywimey / anti-high school au / bake off: Partition / big hurty sexy comfort / bite / cheesecake factory / DARNK TRANS SIMON VAMPIRE ALLEGORY / Fart fic / feral body swap / Fix it epilogue / Great Christmas Baking Show / humdrum pov / instagram husband / jam. / mario... after hours / MCD lol / My knight in shining armor / Pine!Swap / Pirate djs / pub night / shep and simon get turned into frogs lol / Simon bombs holiday baking championship lol / Simon is the king of fear factor / simon loves haryr styles / Simon who / Sinbad AU / sneaky hand stuff in the car / spoky / Stoner au but shrooms / student art gallery show maybe baz performs some poetry idk / Sweet tooth / teacher + journalist / The mage takes away Simon's ball / The mage takes Simon on a "mission to find bAz / The one where Simon and agatha DO get stuck in a time loop in the Starbucks / they work at a grocery store / Tiger Teeth / Venom AU / winter soldier au
ANDREIL
all my active wips are andreil lol. these are the ones im more confident i'll finish, but to be honest, at least 3 or 4 will probably get abandoned lmfao:
pink lemonade / five more minutes / FROYO / text fic / exy is sexy (olympics version) / Puff puff / kevinneil exy phone sex / palm springs au
and the graveyard:
girl. / babysitting / i want to see you lose control / not hate sex / talking talking talking / 5+1 - Andrew talks about Exy to get Neil worked up / have u seen the news...... / airport round 2 / andrew: welcome 2 my twisted mind / kissing booth kevin / pirate au / PR ANDREW / runaway fic / Stick and poke tattoos / BAND AU!!!!!
as i'm looking at these, i think parts of a lot of them are actually folded into stuff that i've actually published -- so they've died noble deaths hahaha.
i tag @starwarned @urban-sith @seducing-a-vampire @sillyunicorn @palimpsessed @pipedream-darling @takitalks @amywaterwings @the-greater-grief @wetheformidables @foolofabookwyrm-activated @stardustasincocaine @nick-eyre @otherpeoplesheartachept1

hi! a while back I wrote my first smutty pierresteban fic on ao3 and you wrote the nicest, most thorough review I’ve ever read in my life and it honestly made my entire month 💕 so thank you!!
not sure if you’ve spoken about this before but I wanted to ask - what goes through your mind when you write reviews / read fic? how are you able to just capture the essence of what spoke to you and at the same time convey such appreciation to the writer? it’s truly an art. as a writer yourself, what kind of reviews make you the happiest / most satisfied?
omg!!! I'm so honored that my comment made such an impact - I'm sure what you wrote was absolutely lovely!! It's really nice to know that my comments have an impact for you as well as for me bc I do rlly enjoy writing them. This is also such a nice question - I don't think I've been asked it before - and I definitely have thoughts hahaha!! Many thoughts. Many more than are even below the cut perhaps...
What goes through my mind when I write a comment?
I guess it's a couple of different things. For me, the fic I like best catches on something - a theme, a twist on a relationship - that I don't find elsewhere. I really like fic that makes me think about something differently. I think part of this is how I like to engage with texts generally - I read a lot but like, you can't tell the author of a novel what you thought so easily. So those thoughts I have generally get harnessed into comments bc I know someone will read them.
Within that, I'm like... I guess I try to be a critical thinker and consider things deeper than surface level and that of course applies to fic. So I try to pull out a couple of ways I think the author did things differently than maybe I would expect - a plot twist, or a characterization choice, or a thematic engagement. Idk i want people to know that I take their writing just as seriously as anything else I read. A big worry when I'm commenting is being accidentally mean - I've been called condescending a lot in my life hahaha - so that is also always on my mind as well.
I don't really think about my comment til I get to the end of a fic where I usually ask myself what was the most memorable and then I give it a little bit of time to percolate and then write the comment... Idk. Some of this is probably also affected by both like... how being a history major trained me to think about reading and also bc - I'm fairly picky about what I read (I don't read that much fic and I honestly am not a great commenter overall - I do have to really like it/want more of it/find something of interest in it), I read a lot, and I'm very confident in what I like.
How do I capture what spoke to me and convey my appreciation to the writer?
Okay to be honest I worry about this a lot... Like is it too much of what I thought?? Am I getting away from the meaning of the text? I feel like also I am kind of a hater generally but I 1) never want to make anyone feel bad about their writing and 2) especially don't want to do so accidentally.
So for me, when I'm writing a comment, I try to chunk it out into the different ideas that I liked (for example: main ship dynamic, external friendships, and fate), and jot my thoughts down for them. I try to focus on those ideas over like idk writing technique. Once I get down all my vague thoughts, I'll go back and flesh them out into sentences and include something specific about each of those points. For at least one point, I try to include a line I particularly liked. Then I go back through again and try make sure I didn't say anything accidentally insulting (I generally do also have critiques when I read but I try and lean as heavily into the positive as I can and make sure I only ever tell someone that if they ask me). For shorter fics, I'll do maybe only one or two ideas, but for longer ones my comments can get... Long. I'm not sure if that totally answers your question but that's the like... balance I try to strike?
As to what kind of reviews make me the happiest/most satisfied...
I was actually talking to one of my very good friends about this the other day. Unsurprisingly, the comments I like to get are similar to those I try to write. My favorite comments are the ones that go deeper - what themes did you like and did you see, how do you see the characters thinking about their lives. I really enjoy when people make external connections whether that to be of other books/articles or music (but this can be hit or miss based on if we have similar taste lol) or pieces of art, especially bc its often stuff that idk about!! For me, I try with most of my fic to weigh in on some larger theme or question and I really like when ppl engage with that because they're always going to bring in new thoughts and ideas that I can't come up with on my own!!! My friend says that I like debate (I love debate) hahaha so I do like stuff that pushes me about the text can be understood.
That being said like. I also really appreciate when people tell me lines they like, or even just a single line that they enjoyed the fic. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about engagement bc I'm not!!! I just love when people are willing to go deeper. I do also think like I'm a person whose very willing to have a conversation in the comments which like... Idk not congrous with current ao3 culture hahaha.
I also really appreciate when people say my fic is like.... very understandable but still has a lot to say because that makes me very proud (especially because I don't consider myself a very strong writer... I consider myself middling in both quality and popularity). I also really appreciate stuff from my friends bc like... They know me, yknow? But anyway, I really do appreciate all comments but that's a bit of what makes a comment special!!
Anyway... That's the gist!!! Thank you for the questions and I'm sorry if I accidentally said something cruel in all my rambling. I would say this is fairly accurate to how I read and comment and I hope it's interesting at the very least!!! Please feel free to weigh in with your thoughts/comment strategy etc as well!!!!

Y’know what would be so cool is if you did like an epilogue kinda thing where she meets Eddie again. Maybe Chrissy broke his heart and he grew up and matured a little or they ended up in the upside down years later somehow or she’s working somewhere and he meets her there like idk I loved it but part of me wanted some sort of closure or reunion after the whole drama but I think a time jump would work cause there’s no way you’d face someone again straight after that I’d literally skip town hahaha. Just an idea of course you don’t have to consider it or even read this or reply to me I’m just greedy for your writing lol
hey, camper!
i needed to sit on this and think about how i wanted to word how i feel about this series before answering.
i've mentioned in a different ask that i think for a lot of people, they seek fanfics and works as a way to escape. they want to ignore real life for a multitude of reasons. and real life just isn't something a lot of people want to read. that's just the way fiction is. we want to immerse ourselves in these fantastical adventures or feel overwhelming emotion or have a slice of comfort.
i didn't want to include closure in this fic, because in real life, you don't always get that. and since this is a primarily an angsty fic, i thought it would best fit here. rather than reader going through angst at the end, they finally let go of their feelings causing eddie to endure angst. then they move on. they go have fun. they enjoy the company of their best friend, steve. they're ready to start the next chapter of their life, how ever they want.
so i will not be writing an epilogue for the Heartbreaker Series- for the time being. i'm certainly open to the idea, but i want to take a break from this series and return to it later with a fresh perspective and new ideas. but i'm not promising i will write one. i wrote this series over the course of a week, and i could tell that, esp in p.4, that it started to feel less emotional and i wasn't as invested in it as i was at first. should i want to come back to this series, i want to improve the ending within the epilogue. and for that, i need to move onto other ideas and focus on fostering my creative writing skills once more. i am not the type of person who can just work one type of work for a long period of time. i like to bounce around!
so i'm going to be focusing on other ideas and stories to help myself grow and feel more confident in my writing again! currently, i'm working on a summer carnival series where each of the ST characters on my roster and i am so excited! i think partially is because my town fair is coming soon, and i'm really looking forward to going again. and i'm currently open for requests, so if you or any other campers have an idea or story you want to send my way or even chat about, i would love to hear from y'all! :)
probably not the answer you were expecting, but i wanted to try and express how i feel about this series. i absolutely love it and i'm so glad it was my re-debut to writing. but something's not clicking with it anymore. so i need to take a step back.
hope you're doing well!
Counselor Mythos, out! <3

Ryen darling!!! R Y E N!!!! I'm gone!!!! What a perfect chapter!!! From oc waking up with yoongi's chains still on her neck (I WAS SWEATING) to them being like a couple living together, to the basketball scene😍! Then a short angsty break buT yoongi delivered in the end‼️ personally I would love to see him kick some asses😳! Also hello oc was so confident in herself, she flirted with the bartender yes girl!! And her previous hookup WITH A GIRL YES THANK YOU YESYES YES! idk which part broke me more, the one she was thinking about reminiscing their current stolen moments in a future where they wouldn't end up together or when yoongi comforted her in so many ways💔 yoongi is showing how much he's into her in so many ways that idk how it's gonna work out now that the 3some king is back in town (but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some ahem toy action between them). Still recovering from the end, I will need a couple of days to sort my thots out!! If I dream of yoongi with that soundcheck look (we all know which one) then it's all on you ryen (not that I'd complain)!! If I have forgotten some of my fav parts I will return to cry some more🤧❤ -3tandream
AHHH DREAMMM hello, love! oh gosh, idk if it was perfect but thank you so so much for this :')) and yeah... the chains still made an appearance and my affinity for them has not gone away lmfao
whew yoongi in the club.... just. everything about him and reader in the club had me feeling all sorts of ways! and just imagining what he would do.. oh lord lol don't do this to me! she dID flirt with the bartender can i get a hell yeah?? :'))) i'm so happy y'all are making your own conclusions as to who the past hookups were bc yes why should we just assume smth?!
the 3some king i CANT HAHAHA but yeah.. the angst with both of them in this one was so so hard to write (in a good way) the end was.. yeah that took a lot out of me, for sure💔 take your time to sort everything out! i know this chapter had so much to take in.
NOT SOUNDCHECK YOONGI I SDHSDDH you are trying to end me i just know it!! but i'm so happy you read the chapter. thank you for all the support, as always!

Sooo once again recently I have been browsing various queer-centric merchandise on etsy and the like, and (as always) been disappointed at the quantity/quality of aspec-focused stuff. Which also ties in to an overall (IMO) egregious lack of aspec... memey stuff?? and general place in, like, actual community everyday conversation, outside of painfully repetitive and boring identity glossaries.
And. It's difficult. It really feels so difficult, sometimes. To talk about being aspec without
a) being sex-negative in really gross, harmful ways (that just as often harm other aspecs btw)
b) being like... super self-deprecating in a way that I feel also harms aspecs and reinforces the idea of us as losers and failures in a kind of 'are they laughing at us or with us' kind of way.
One way is to lean into the silly quirky 'food is better than sex' kind of thing, and also puns. The puns I like but a really shitty and awful part of myself deep down sometimes finds the food stuff actually kind of. cringey...? Which is stupid and I hate it but once again I feel myself being made fun of by allos and also it's just. kind of shallow and a one-note joke that has been overdone at this point (due to lack of other options) for me personally
The other big way I've seen is to lean into the whole confident rejection schtick. Big 'Nope' word art and the like. And that's fine but it often feels a bit too... misanthropic? for me. I like people!!!!! Or it's very female-focused and feeds too much into that whole ideals of 'women who let men touch them are Tainted' and/or 'women deserve better than men' which I. hate.
so I've been wondering a lot if what I'm wanting - memey/funny aspec-focused stuff that actually feels authentic and at least some tiny amount of original - is even possible?
So far my ideas are. a) make it casual/nonclinical by going so fucking dorky that it wraps around in the other direction. like idk a shirt that says 'Asexuality: the lack of sexual attraction to people of all genders. Hope that helps guys!!! Subscribe for more cool asexuality facts :)' I think if I saw that shirt I'd slightly suspect I was being made fun of but would vibe so hard I'd still like it unironically lmfao
Softening the rejection stuff also could be fun. Like 'I love every person in the world!! (as a friend <3)' or something. more eloquent lol
And just, in general non-sequiturs. It bugs me so inordinately when I see those kinds of posts or whatever that are like 'I'm tired, I'm gay, and I don't pay taxes' (theoretical example) and like, you could just as well have put 'ace' or 'aro' in there!!!!!! But nobody ever things to do that with us :( as always my plan is to make really cool things but only for ace and aro so we can get to be the ones with things for once hahaha but unfortunately I do not know how to make cool things. Anyway the whole idea here is to write things that make people on reddit go 'uhh, why did you feel the need to mention that you don't date, here...?'
And to cap this off I guess I should affirm that yeah, the self-deprecatory stuff CAN be done well... with a very very VERY precise hand. By which I mean that I was permanently psychologically online-ified by ace discourse and have the sensitivity of an earthquake detector to non-obvious slights against aspecs' importance or worth as human beings. But self-deprecating humour is just kind of our generation's style, so. There's some level of 'yeah I like anime and don't date B)' that is JUST the right balance of 'this is not at all what society says you should be proud of' and 'but fuck it society sucks lmfao I love freaks'.
IN CONCLUSION more aspecs should have my exact same sense of humour but actually good at art. or writing text posts. Or literally anything other than complaining on unpopular tumblrs. no actually we need them too so I can follow you and feel faintly not alone occasionally when our opinions happen to line up. Your honour I rest my case.

a bigger post more about the Boogeyman movie I guess.
Continuation from this: here
When the Boogeyman destroyed the spherical nightlight it made me so sad. The poor nightlight. It was like one of the moon ones yeah? Kinda. FUck him.
Interesting that they're playing into the Boogeyman being capable of voice copying as well as the shape shifting. So this feels like a simpler IT.
I always like to think about if these supernatural things actually evolved naturally and the fact that a creature with seemingly impossible mimicry abilities would evolve to fit the "preys on humans" niche that our houses and cities have caused to have been left vacant for so long. It uses familiarity to get close and blend in, and then it eats children who are unattended in "the safety of their own homes" because we're so comfortable in how our dens are safe have been for so long, and when natural survival instinct is filed away under "neurosis that must be cured" hmmm. An opportunist that evolved to permeate the safety of our nests, relying on us having gone soft. Something that adapted to the specifications of our own protective measures we're so confident works on everything in nature. Now I'm just thinking about the speculative evolution brainstorming I've been doing for my Underbed project again. How I'm torn between just how much the creatures of Underbed are naturally evolved and how much they're supernatural. I'm leaning more into "they were animals… at one point… perhaps evolved originally on Earth… but that's not where they live now… as in maybe they've completely adapted to being forced to live in this other dimension and only capable of coming into the now hostile alien world known as Earth from humanity's empty liminal spaces. Hahaha. Wish I could actually write the damn story though.
The visuals are pretty great in my opinion. The sketch of the entity is pretty cool while not being over the top. Spectre-esque, and the infecting tendril roots it puts down in places it's taking up residence are very good looking. I hate to come back to Skinamarink all the time but something like that, some more obvious more unnatural fucking with the house's appearance beyond removing exits and slightly fucking up stuff would have been cool to see just in the corner of a shot for like, less than a minute at a time to really add to it. More stuff like the hand I thought was so well done. But budget restraints of a tiny micro indie title I suppose. But then again if Kyle had a friend who was into textile arts and special effects on the project a whole lot could have been done practical. Idk. I hope for his next project he stays super indie but gets like, a gang of friends who each has like, a different visual medium special interest. I'd love to see those big goopy practical effect slime blood monster puppetry smoke and mirrors of old again.
This part: "it needs the dark to stay hidden… fire was the first thing man used to see at night" "it's really been around that long?" "I think it's been around forever" fucking sick as hell. So cool. Loved that.
The home movie lullaby scene got me crying a bit. Props to the dad not pushing his own way of grieving too much on the kids. When the older sibling gets after him for wanting to get rid of the mom's art supplies he actually APOLOGIZED and allowed her to keep them. Even if she had to put them in creepy basement.
I'm really hoping the mom becomes some sort of Spot Power not-exactly-an-entity that can fight the boogeyman. Also older sibling has an almost "Andy mullet bowl cut" hairstyle and I didn't notice until she had the house party.
Our first substantial look at the monster and the design is pretty good too. Has a partially mummified humanoid face with milky white eyes that have just enough luster to them that they glow in lower light in that way that has the potential to fuck with me but coincidentally it would seem the total absence of pupils nullifies how scary I find "human eye white glowing in the dark" so huh.
The bullying is also pretty realistic in this movie. You know this fucker was just trying to push the boundary as much as she could on how much abuse could she "accidentally" direct at the girl with the dead mom she wanted an excuse to demonize. She fully deserved that fucking slap. But then she immediately played the victim waaaahhhh wahhhhhh you hit me. And she gets to be in the right because she's the "calm one who never resorted to violence" oh no, just secretly instigated the entirety of the thing… 😒 God.
FUCK. THE SCENE WITH THR YOUNGER SISTER FIRING A WEAPON IN THE VIDEO GAME BECAUSE IT LIT UP MORE OF THR SCREEN BRIGHTER AND SHE WAS TOO SCARED TO GO AND GET A BETTER LIGHT SOURCE SO SHE TRIED TO IMPROVISE AND ADAPT WITH THE TV AS A LIGHT SOURCE SHE DID HAVE ACCESS TO UNLOCKED SOME PRIMAL REPRESSED MEMORIES OF SIMILAR. OH MY GOD.
Of course then I had to think about how I still intuitively on instinct do that shit with phone and computer all the time 😬😬😬😬 great. Just. Nyctophobia moments. I guess.
The shot of the bogeyman perched on top of the TV was so good. I got fucking chills. Then it cut to the scene of it actually jumping into the glow of the TV and moving and bruh… actually seeing its anatomy and how it moves. It's just like, quadrupedal Slenderman/the rake and the effects don't look "there" enough. Like it doesn't feel like it actually takes up space. It's a 3D model. Such a great shot but then immediately I'm broken out of it. For some reason I thought her getting thrown into the TV looked funny. I blame that gangly fuck.
Using a child as bait. Lmaoo oh my god that got serious fast. "I finally figured out how to kill this thing. I'll need … … YOU." DJGJDHDJFJS the fact that the floor candles were a thing that was established was cool on its own but then how it showed them getting systematically blowing out which signified the encroaching entity in the space. God. That's good. The architecture in this movie is really nice too. The way the house is built really pairs well with the shadowy spiderweb roots on the walls and ceiling.
Again, low light and from in front the creature design looks incredible. Really fucking good. But then you see it's full body fully in frame and illuminated and it's just an awkward thing. If they would have made it more anatomically hominin or more alien and unnatural in either direction it'd work better but it's right on the middle of "ehhhh it just looks a bit wrong but like in a design way not a body horror way" man. I wonder if making it black and muddling the visibility would improve this.
Love the use of heavy drums in the soundtrack.
Also how it still fucks with adults. Not as lazy as IT lol.
The scene where there's a fakeout death with it just lying on the ground was surreal to me. Don't see that all too often anymore. Just have the whole ass monster out there meme death posed degrading itself for the hopeful jumpscare payoff. Also the shots of its body stationary look creepier and more visually believable than the shots of it in motion. Huh.
Older girl's logic of "I saw it bleed" (like predator lol) doesn't really stand up considering she also saw it get shot like 20 times including four or so with a shotgun at point blank range. Like yeah you saw it bleed. Does that matter though?
The younger kid going around wearing the blinking Christmas lights is iconic to me. I did that sorta shit. That's Cayden armed to the teeth to pet some spectres type shit.
Literally fire kills it. Fire is literally the answer. (As a worldbuilding design that is fucking cool as hell. Early man figured it out. How to keep this thing away. But then we forgot) but also it did end up having like a sorta (same vein as Spot Power tbh) the mom's lifeforce being what stopped it. As symbolized by the fire. I liked that. I like how it's ambiguous as to the full extent of the mom's spirit. Would fire have worked otherwise or is it special magic dead mom Spot Power fire. Sad to see the house and mementos go though. Always sad. I will try not to think of love being consumed by flames I think about that enough.
I stand by the monster design being good but just doesn't end up meshing well and how obscuring it more would have helped. Maybe other people find weird almost spider human fucked up anatomy thing more scary than me but idk.
Pediatric psychiatrist: hey older kid now that this is all over just one more thing can you come back into my office alone haha no reason haha
Me: oh fuck oh shit the original story ending!! (But no. Lmao)
Was good. Loved the scenes of it hissing back away from the fire/light and when it skittered across lit spaces just enough. So much of the light and darkness effects are just really good.
I really lived the two houses but that's a given because knowing Stephen King this movie was set in the state with both an excess of cool houses and fucked up demons in it.

Hiiiii I love your blogs & girl got talent in writing. Seeing the peach anon hahaha I'm kind of curious what kinks do u think dreamies have and like how u think they have it? can't blame peach anon on the kittenplay😂 she must be a sub & very cat person🤣
omg thank you so much! 💕yeah, i agree with you 🍑radiates big sub energy lol. anyways onto the kinks (i’m leaving chenle out of this because i have 0 idea what kinks he’d have)
mark -> has a slight exhibitionism and overstim kink. idk just something about doing things in public (mostly riling you up) makes him feel rebellious and he likes that because everyone thinks he’s a goody goody guy. as for the overstim, he loves when he makes you cum. it gives him some sort of pride and then he just gets carried away with it. AND has slight sub tendencies, like not where his partner’s ordering him to strip and be a good boy but more something where his partner takes the lead and conducts the sex but hands him the reigns too. 
renjun -> degradation, breeding and sensory deprivation (mostly visual). for renjun, your sex life is just something you have that shows you a different side of him. like in front of people he’ll be a nice, sweet, pure boy but then behind closed doors when he’s balls deep inside you, he’s the complete opposite and he likes it that way. hence the degradation. the breeding kink was successively acquired after you started birth control and let him cum in you. he enjoys how intimate that feels. as for the sensory deprivation, he wants you to feel nothing but him so. 
jeno -> BDSM do I have to say it louder. (but without the bondage, its just very minimum) the whole world knows how jeno’s a fucking dom and he will DOM YOU OUT yk? likes to exert his dominance in bed and is very confident with it. he’s good at being in control and knows that people will always listen to him. hence, the kink. likes someone who listens to him well, in general and in bed. he likes the power and the authority and it makes him feel closer to his partner. 
haechan -> praise, body worship, breeding and corruption. now, this boy himself isn’t the most confident about his body (which he should be) and so he’s big on letting his partner know that they are beautiful and that he loves every part of them. wants you to feel comfortable with him and always gives positive feedback. this was kind haechan so now onto the sadistic haechan. yeah you’re perfect, yes you’re beautiful, but you’re also a dirty little thing and his cumslut. take his cum and keep it treasured in you. the fact that he can do all these dirty things to you, with you, makes him feel special. 
jaemin -> kinky boy incoming. praise, body worship, voyeurism, breeding, somnophilia, corruption and  r o l e  p l a y. there’s just so many different types of situations and vibes under which you have fucked jaemin and he’s always a different character in each one. sometimes, he’ll be so sweet and kind and treat you like an absolute princess just because he loves you and appreciates you in his life and other times he’ll be abusing you with a vibrator and shaking his head, disappointedly commenting on how much of a dirty slut you are. jaemin has a very ‘you only live once’ type of mindset so when it comes to sex he’s down for anything.

Hi Rain! I just finished reading August 1867 for the 3rd time (I had to make sure I understand it by reading the words carefully but i'd probably read it again ahaha). Omgg ok so now I am absolutely looking forward for the remaining (although still bracing for the twists and tragic part, the feels!) chapters because I've gained a lot more hope now that we have this chapter!! It kind of felt like its all clearer in a way. Thank you again for this, wonderful writing!💟 The queen gives such comfort I missed her huhu and oh OC's mom was also mentioned 🥺💗
I have a theory once again hahaha. Sooo what I've been thinking so far is that, OC would have the possibility to "climb up" from her job position of uinyeo into a title much higher, maybe even higher than the male physicians? And that would be the "favor" she'd ask jeonha. Maybe this way, she'd also get to establish her own clinic and serve their people! But idk how would this work and if this is what it is 🤷‍♀️🥴 haha
Buuut then again, I'm also not sure what this would have to do or change something about their relationship, in how would they be able to be together! What would she do? Either its not really that obvious yet (is it??) or I'm just a bit slow/dummy 🥴 haha. I am a bit confident it had something to do with her role as physician just like the queen said. Idk, maybe she'd also speak up too to those who underestimate her but I'm not sure how.
Can I also ask (if i may haha): is the answer (meaning, the thing OC would do or say) is a vague action (like an idea) oooor is it a specific action?
Gah! I'm so excited for the next one but also don't want to say goodbye as it gets closer! 😩 This is such a good chapter. It definitely gave me hope (but for sure later there'd be heart breaks again wahaha but damn it I'm a sucker for a good angst haha) although I'm not yet sure what she'd do, I'm definitely braver (lol🙃) to face what would happen next. Won't close my eyes for this one 'cause I can feel its a big change we don't wanna miss!
Thank you again for another good drabble! I also hope you'd get to take break whenever you need and that your wrist would feel much better! Please I hope you won't feel too pressured in writing these. Take your time as well. I hope you'd get to relax a bit despite/after writing these and with work too! 💟💟
- 🧇
omg PLS 3 times!!! ur the best. i'm so glad everything felt clearer because i really thought it'd be evident after this chapter but a lot of ppl are still confused FALKJSDAF im so sorry for the hearts i have broken.
hmmmm! you mean she'll use her title to set up a clinic outside the palace? it actually wouldnt be historically possible because of the misogynist social conventions ;; she couldn't hold a title higher than the male physicians, i am sorry to say. but... think about whether or not oc cares about titles at all. what does she really want to do, when it all comes down to it? 💞
to answer your question... id say its kind of both? LOOOOL im sorry. theres really no way to describe it. it's like a shift that will result in concrete action. the preview i posted (if you've read that) has a better answer for u!!
im glad you enjoyed the update 🤧🌹 its hurting me to say goodbye to these babies too but i have them for a little while longer!!! i'm finally formally working on the last chapter now and it's taking a lot out of me 🤧 thank u for ur kind wishes--my wrist has been improving and is almost fully back to normal i think. it's been a rough week, lol. benching and deadlifting were hard while trying to not put too much pressure on it. i will take breaks for sure !!! i just wanna get this series done before the year ends 🤣

I'm risking sounding terribly egoistical by sending a public ask about my own url here but I'm doing it!!!!! I need the super graphic-details
Your ego is my ego, dearest nharidy. There's a reason the doc is named after you hahaha
[ 👉 My Wips ]
OK so the Absolvisti sequel's been sitting in my head since well, the week after I published it lmao. But I never got around to writing because I wasn't sure if it was being too self-indulgent (I'm feeling more confident about it now that I know you'll be pleased by it!). Also because I was having trouble deciding on a pov: should I continue with the Tatiana 1st person pov as always? Change it up to Martin 3rd person? or surprise: 1st person Don Juan?? Should it be a new chapter or new fic? (def. open to suggestions here!) Also I think it'd be Iconic to publish a story in the Dies Irae universe with our new cat profile pics.
Graphic detail time :D Prepare for a SUPER LONG answer LMAO. Most of the things I mentioned here and here will make their way in, with maybe a bonus ns/fw chapter from Martin or Andres' pov. The main story is SFW however, and there's like a hilariously high amount of hurt!Andres, who doesn't have demons to rely on anymore but still carries all the permanent damage the demons left on him:
It takes place some months after Absolvisti so Andres is doing better, but not fully well yet. He's not actively dying anymore but he does faint a lot and isn't exactly making a full recovery. Because I wanted to make things harder for Martin. Because he's not a young man anymore, the wounds were super extensive, and this is the result of years of accumulated damage + a form of "withdrawal" (the shadows/demons that used to feed on him were also the things that kept him alive so it's one big cycle that his body isn't leaving that easily).
This means every time Martin plans something nice for him like seeing a play or going out for a nightly walk, Andres can't go through the whole thing without feeling unwell. (Martin: "I over-exerted the love of my life. I am so SELFISH. what does Andres see in me??" Andres: "I disappointed the love of my life. I am the WEAKEST. what does Martin see in me??" Tatiana: feed me, bitches)
They manage to sit through one play though (not sure if I want this at the beginning or end of the fic LMAO). It's the one Bogota wrote, The Necromancer's Lament, a "biopic" about Andres' life. And it's every bit as terrible as Martin expected. Bad special effects, bad acting especially from Martin's actor, Andres' actor has a beard, and Tatiana looks like this:
Tumblr media
Andres thinks it's the best play ever. Martin hates it and demands a refund. Tatiana hates it too but Don Juan's like, "mi amor, you are still beautiful to me, even as a deformed puppet."
Martin's 120-page complaints aside, Bogota runs the theatre troupe with his partner, Nairobi/Agata, and they're both going to start teaching performing arts at Santa Catalina because the last drama professor died lmao
Meanwhile, Santa Catalina has a new bad girl student, Tokyo/Silene! Sergio took her in as a charity case after some dark and mysterious events in her life. But Tokyo being Tokyo can't stay away from trouble, and she becomes obsessed with finding the demons that Andres expelled. Some bizarre possessions start happening again and the school's sponsors force Raquel to keep it under wraps. (Raquel: maybe if you increased funding, we wouldn't have so many problems!!)
In the meantime, Martin gets that letter from a long lost relative asking to meet him. Not sure about the order of this either. Anyway, Martin was planning to ignore the relative, but Andres insists he go. Either Tatiana or Don Juan accompany him. Martin learns that he's the sole heir of his dead parents across the sea (the will: “we forgive you for being a heretic, a freak of nature, and the alchemist of Palermo. also no hard feelings for leaving you to die as a baby xoxoxo”). There's one (1) condition though: he has to end his partnership with the necromancer. Martin: NO THANKS.
So while Martin's dealing with this unexpected drama, Sergio decides to call in Andres' expertise TM again because it's also a good excuse to talk to his brother. Martin is Very wary about this and rejects him. But Andres insists that it'll be fine. Plus, maybe he wants to turn a new leaf and help Santa Catalina for nothing in return this time. Not everyone gets a second chance at life and he doesn't want to be a bad person anymore uwu (Tatiana: "Andres was a pretentious piece of shit, surprising no one." Martin: "Nobody deserves Andres, not even me, and I'm like, the most amazing person in the world.")
Andres comes to do the exorcism with the random priest the school hired. And they discover there aren't any demons- it's just some ghost fucking around (maybe I'll make it the spirit of Gandia or Alicia since they haven't shown up yet lol). Anyway, it doesn't go very well but Andres gets rid of the creature or whatever. Not before it punctures a hole in his side though. Then Martin loses it, just full-on screams at Sergio for almost getting Andres killed again, makes a lot of threats against the school, etc. etc.
Raquel, being more useful, plugs up the wound. But the priest accidentally provokes Martin more by asking Raquel if he should mop up Andres' blood with holy water or something. What if the necromancer's blood is cursed?? And now it's all over the floor, so disgusting :/
Martin, already in a very bad mood, beats the priest up.
They go home. Martin's in a really sour mood and he just doesn't understand why Andres isn't mad at Sergio. Martin: "It's really emotionally damaging to me if you don't give a fuck about yourself." Andres makes him even angrier by bringing up the Berrote family will and having the audacity to suggest Martin leave him for money. He makes a huge case about how he literally has nothing to offer Martin except a body that barely works and a terrible reputation. Martin: "I lost a fucking eye for you??"
They fight and Martin storms away, and also kidnaps Don Juan, his honorary new soulmate who would never betray him like Andres.
A while after this, the Spanish Inquisition local clergy arrests Andres for "questioning." Because the shenanigans at Santa Catalina are still going on and that one priest suspects him of being behind everything just because. Raquel's the one who bails him out. She may not like Sergio's brother, but the way everyone else treats him is ridiculous.
Andres limps home, hoping Martin's still away. Surprise! Martin felt guilty and came back. And it's pretty obvious that Andres has just been tortured. Martin: "Say no more. I'm going to kill some people."
Andres gets Martin to not do anything stupid by dropping the thing with the will. He admits he was wrong for saying those things to Martin and he selfishly, genuinely wants to stay with Martin forever. Martin: "I'm still going to kill your brother. You may appease me with a kiss."
Does it end here? No! Because the shit at Santa Catalina is still happening. Andres and Martin solve it for good though. But it's all very dramatic. I'm vaguest about this part, but maybe Nairobi's injured saving Tokyo, and this gives Tokyo the wakeup call to move on from whatever baggage that got her into this mess in the first place. Then Andres' solution for saving Nairobi is to ask Martin to work that alchemist magic and transfer her wounds onto himself (at this point, we're just going overboard with the Andres whump but asdfasdf why stop??). Raquel: Sergio, tell your brother to stop dying. That's a bad example for the kids.
It takes a lot of convincing, but Martin relents in the end, only because he trusts Andres. At this point, Andres has been through so much that he physically cannot take any more damage. Like, he just can't lmao. So the whole process puts Andres into a coma or something. But we don't need him anymore because now we can revel in Martin's angst!
Martin spends the rest of his time crying and angsting and guilt-tripping Sergio, and just being very loud in general. He also writes back to his family and tells them to fuck off.
Once we indulge in enough of Martin's pain, Andres finally wakes up. Still very bad off but he's alive and not showing signs of dying any time soon. So that's good enough for Martin. They have a nice heart-to-heart, and idk, maybe Raquel comes to see them because Sergio's too embarrassed to. Until Andres insists, because he loves hermanito unconditionally uwu. Martin: "watch your back, Sergio. I might murder you in your sleep (:"
Then at the very end (I have no idea how long this story is LOL), there's some kind of family photoshoot between Raquel, Sergio, and Paula. Everyone's raving over this new invention called the "camera." Andres is admiring it from a distance until Raquel's like, "get over here. what part of FAMILY photoshoot do you not understand!?"
Andres is shocked pikachu face because good will towards him for once?? he's being included in something?? people want him around?? what is happening??
Martin's happy for him though. Then he's admiring from a distance until Raquel's like, "I said FAMILY photoshoot. Get over here, Martin!"
Tatiana didn't want to be a part of it, but Paula saw her favorite talking cat and like, grabbed her lmao. Don Juan photobombs it because he can't be excluded from an activity with Tatiana, especially when his former rival Andres is in the photo too. (His current rival is Casanova, an unworthy white cat vying for Tatiana's affections)
Sergio proposes to Raquel. The end! Yes, the kitty love triangle is also a central theme of this story LMAO Hope that satisfies you, nharidy! And I welcome any and all suggestions!

First, I need to say this because... your AMAZING 💖 BEAUTIFUL. 💖 HEART-STOPPING 💖 Sugar Daddy AU created a kink in me for Sugar Daddy Damen that now I can barely fill because of how lil of this trope we have 😪 Which I think is a shame.. they have everything in them to do great with that dynamic not because of the need (money, security, etc.) but because I now Laurent enjoys being pampered and Damen enjoys spoiling the people he loves. So if you ever feel like doing something with that trope again.. well, here I AM! 👉🏼👈🏼
Okay, now that I said that.. Hi! How are you?🥰 I just read you want to talk about your fic with #dadDamen, so I thought about coming here and.. would you like something to drink first? I'm gonna get some margaritas so we can chill and talk all day/night long. Are you ready? Because I have a LOT to say 🙈 1) Laurent x Isander ?? Oh my god, yeeeesss!!! I need more of them. I think we don't write enough of them even if it's just as friends. So thank you so much... I loved it.
Let's start with the good shit 2) You went for prise kink and dirty talk, and once again, I feel like you were sent to me by the goddess of fanfic. Haha yes! Give me all the kinky things I love 💦 (señor! I came here again now that I finished and... I need to tell you that way you wrote the subtle praise kink into Laurent and Damen's dynamic is perfection. I can not wait for them to go a bit stronger with it)
3) Going back to Damen, he taking the role of House Papa and leaving Kashel to go to work? So sexy of him... Damen writing about intergalactic love? also very sexy of him (He knowing Veretian and surprising Laurent when he's saying something dirty to Damen, not thinking he would understand it? 🔥 One can only hope, but it would be súper sexy too) haha
Moving forward... 4) Laurent trying to stalk Damen and falling was hilarious, but Damen Drama King Vallis saying that Laurent liked a half-naked pic of him? Okay, sir, have you never go to the beach? (But that's not his only bit Jokaste's breakfast bowl deserves to be the name of a rock band)
And yet you then give us this 5) Damen finding THAT Twitt about Laurent ☠️ hahaha are you trying to kill me? (Tbh I don't know what to say besides that I'm waiting.. waiting for this to come back in any form 💅 )
Laurent asking for help with the climax after he said he didn't come just a few sentences before? Are you sure you are not trying to kill me? (Me coming back to this after reading the end of ch 5: oh! *In Itálics* 🤯 I have so many things to say about this so many questions, but I don't want to do this more sexual than what it already is, so I'm gonna shut up just in case)
6) "He would think Laurent was drunk not on alcohol but on Damen's praise" might be one of my fave lines... The Dom/sub undertones are beautiful! So powerful and well written (it makes me wonder how much do they realize about it and if Damen has any experience with light D/s.. also, what about Laurent? maybe just things he reads on the internet?😈)
7) do you know how almost every book/fic with age difference always has that moment when someone thinks they are son and dad? Well, your version with Stavos saying that he is happy seeing Damen back in the games it's pure gold. I hope you know it. It was funny but also refreshing 💞
8) “Why do you still call him sir? Are you scared of him?” (...) Laurent says, “No,” and then there’s the sound of a hard, wet kiss." 🧐 Maybe I am reading too much into this, but.. did Laurent get a bit turn on with/because Damen and then went and kiss Isander? This makes me think a lot about the way you are writing this Laurent so shy but also confident, eager for Damen's love, but while he still is with Isander, and I kinda love not knowing what he thinks or feels.
9) Damen planing a date for Laurent, going as far as thinking of calling Isander to tell him Laurent should eat the seafood? Laurent loving the date because it was damen's idea and getting sad when he thinks damen didn't really care? Damen, every time he simply says Laurent's name and gets him to admit what he really wants? 🥺 I shouldn't, but the tender D/s moments are so cute and sweet.
And to finish just for now, 10) that last part hurt so good! 😍😭 God! Can wait for more. I'm honestly in love with this idea, this au, this way you wrote them. And that spoiler? I want more.. actually, no, I NEED more, hahaha.
It's so beautifully written. Congrats, sweetheart, another fantastic fic. 🌈💝🌈💝
💫Please feel free to talk about anything else you want, to mention anything that I didn't, and you wish I did or even fight with me because I been getting all wrong, Haha. I would love to read you! 💫
Ps: I think that I cant wait for... Damen first time calling Laurent with any kind of pet name.🐍 Laurent finally letting go and crying into damen's arms/lap 🖤 all the praise he is going to get once Damen feels completely comfortable🍑
Have a nice week!
