orihime and renji swap au? like... renji gives his power to orihime, instead of rukia giving hers to ichigo? 😳 omg... bleach red version...
HA.. Bleach Red version- that's such a cute name! It reminds me of those fanmade Pokemon cartridges/ fanmade rom hacks you could occasionally find floating around in the ether. Surely that's already an established name someone's using! XD
But yes, you got it exactly right! It's literally just a main character/ their deuteragonist counterpart swap. Rukia> Renji, Ichigo> Orihime, and that's it! Just that one difference is enough to completely change how the universe shakes out!
For real, I think Renji and Orihime would have an interesting dynamic together. I've always seen Renji and Orihime as both being somewhat stuck in their own heads, albeit about different things. They both struggle with self worth and making their inner feelings known to the outside world. They're both deeply lonely, deeply unwilling to let other people see past the strong faces they put up without being seriously shaken first... and that's exactly the kind of pressure-pot desperation that makes for a big, life altering split second decision like "loan your powers out so you don't DIE on a mission that was supposed to be easy, that you weren't even supposed to BE on, surely this can't be the third stroke of bad luck on your already very bad day." .. and oops! Now you're a fugitive with a gal who, to the naked eye, is right up there with devout monks in levels of pacifism. Really good! Very nice. This won't be a problem at all! (He said, tattooed eyebrow deep in cold-sweat denial)
And MAN, Rukia's way of communicating her philosophy as a soul reaper vs. how RENJI might do the same thing to try and motivate/bully/inspire someone into taking up substitute work for him? Jesus Christmas. What a shitshow. I love it. I'm standing on the sidelines and crunching popcorn while the cars pile up on both sides of the highway.
#bleach red au#i'm tagging it as that because CUTE... it's going to live in my head rent free#i do think renji has an excellent business boy face though.. and the ability to think critically- tactically- and cleverly in a way that he#doesn't get much credit for#if he were to make his case to orihime as one of protection- and later on purification- or healing.. she might be receptive#to think of the eradication of hollows as the surgical excision of hatred from a festering wound in the heart....#that's an interesting one#but i am not entirely sure how intuitive such a connection might be to him#TACTICAL HE MAY BE... UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS' EMOTIONAL STATES... NO... VERY NO....#Not to mention... I think early exposure to Orihime would change Renji's perspective on Rukia#They're in a similar situation.#A young person with no close family- living off the good graces of an emotionally absent but financially supportive relative?#who seems to view you both as a burden- a responsibility- and a preemptive failure#where have we heard that before?#also at the start of canon i think renji had been an assistant captain for ALL OF ONE MONTH#WHICH IS JUST.... HILARIOUS#the only other thing that would change significantly- i think-#is that tatsuki would probably take the place of chad in the spotlight#FULL love for my boy chad#but in a simple swap- tatsuki is to orihime what chad is to ichigo#which is... a confidante- a loyal friend- a concerned ally- and a strong and steady hand#LONG POST#au rambling#bleach

i'm nominating this fic for most apt use of the ao3 tag "Belligerent Sexual Tension" SERIOUSLY oooooough

I noticed you're a Ryomina!!! How did you get into it? And do you have any good fanfics/doujinshi you can advice me to read? ANYTHING on Ryomina actually? I'm dying for anything about them!!! Thanks!!
yes!!! it's me!!! i'm ryomina fan (one of many)!!! thank you for visiting my askbox, i'll do my best to answer all of the questions because it always makes me happy to see that ryomina sparks joy for people! :D
...this got really long because i like linking to things, so i'm putting it under a read more (IM VERY NORMAL ABOUT THEM)
how did i get into it? i got into persona 3 around august 2021 through the movies- at the time my only experience with the persona series was with P5R / P5S / P5D. p3 was the one that interested me the most (i thought minato was very pretty + i caught wind that the themes of the game were very resonant with people). i picked the movies over the game because i'm a guy who plays games at a snails pace, haha.
admittedly, i did latch onto ryomina because of the scenes in the third and fourth movie (i have mentioned in the tags of this art i drew how much i felt like i was exploding and blasting off to the moon watching it).
but what really dug me into the ryomina hole (and what has kept me there) was thinking about how much ryoji encapsulates the themes of p3- and how interconnected his fate is with minato. i wrote some musings about their dynamic here, if you're interested!
tl;dr: what if we were both boys and we were mirror images of each other and i inherited your kindness and looks but god doomed our narrative even though we're soulmates
on ryomina fanworks recommendations:
regarding fics: i'm going to assume that you've probably read the fics that have the highest kudo ratings on them, so i won't really be listing those.
a personal favorite fic that i always hold close to my heart is Eurydice's Vow by crescentmoontea, which explores the idea of ryomina in p5r's third semester. this was the first fic i read about ryomina and it made me tear up lots...
i also think a lot about I Alone Await You by Nail_gun, literally scrumptious writing that captures the ryomina dynamic so so well. actually check out Nail_gun's other ryomina fics while you're at it too!
other fun fic i'm fond of: can't get my mind out of those memories (what were they?) by foxmulder_whereartthou. ryoji being homeless lives rent free in my head and it's all because of this fic. there's a bunch of other fun ryominas from the same author too (i still need to read them)
BkZa555 also has some fun AU scenarios if you're into that too, notably with Zagreus (P5-Setting, Ryoji focus) and The Definition of Insanity (TIME LOOP fuckery!), but they're currently ongoing.
these were some ones that came to my mind first- as i have the strongest recollection reading them. admittedly i haven't really been reading fic this year, so i don't have many recommendations from fic that came out this year. but if you're so inclined to let ryomina consume your soul, i definitely recommend giving the newer works in the ryomina tag a look-see and see if it strikes your fancy!
as a side note, i do have a few ryomina fics that i've bookmarked on my ao3 here, though i have to say that i'm not sure how well they hold up in terms of like... what i would seek out of a fic these days. but they made past me happy so i bookmarked them, LOL. it's kind of outdated (my collection of fic recs has my old username *disintegrates*).
regarding doujinshi: i have not read all the ryomina doujinshi available, but as a starting point, please take a look at this list from pandora-scans from livejournal!
notably, this is where you can find the strawberry-chan say good bye doujin- which features a small and cute comic from shuji sogabe (the p3/p4 manga artist), as well as other artists. the existence of this doujinshi is the funniest thing to me because it's like "HEY if you're wondering what the volume 8 cover is really gay it's because sogabe contributed to a ryomina doujin." this fact makes my head spin (positive). it explains a lot about the manga.
regarding persona side material:
i know you didn't ask for these but i thought that i mine as well list these too, since i feel that the side materials have some fun expansions on ryoji and minato's interactions. i haven't... watched/read all of these but, hey, i like to share these things!
for comic anthologies for the persona series (some of which have ryoji!). if you're interested in reading them, here's a scanlation index from maboroshi-no on tumblr. i don't think this is a comprehensive list, but i think it will be a great starting point!
for some translations of the persona 3 drama cds, check out imaginary-numbers on dreamwidth! ryoji and minato interactions can specifically be found in the persona 3 character drama cd vol. 1, and for the audio + english subs, you can watch this video on youtube:
youtube
and ohh the musical. ryoji singing and dancing gives me so much joy. i haven't watched the musical in it's entirety (only fragments), but here are some links that may be of interest to you:
Ao no Kakusei (The Blue Awakening), Sakuya version - playlist for the first p3 musical, translated by Phoenix Maiika.
Ao no Kakusei (The Blue Awakening), Kotone version - playlist for the femc version!! also translated by Phoenix Maiika on YouTube.
Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade (English Subtitles) - playlist by rumio!
P3 Weird Musical DVD & Soundtrack Booklet Scans by rumio_k - twitter thread that links to these funsies, if you don't have twitter, here's the publicly shared drive link.
god. these sure are a lot of links, huh? i hope you enjoy them- pick and choose whatever sounds most appealing! (if this overwhelmed you im sorry GKLHLDH i just like being very comprehensive in my answers about things so i got carried away).
and as a reminder, you (and anyone else reading) are always welcome to browse my tags/archive and reblog things from there anytime! i have... nearly 300 ryomina posts which, while mostly consists of art, has a few fics, meta, hcs, gifs, memes, and whatnot scattered about.
or browse the minato and ryoji tags too! there's.. nearly 1k minato. and 500 ish ryoji. and they're going to keep on growing because i can't stop being obsessed with archiving these things. god help me i am so deep in this hole called ryomina hell and now you're here too. welcome aboard!
there's always going to be a lot of fun ways to enjoy rotating ryomina around in one's brain, i think- they're a pairing with such fun symbolic imagery that is So Deep (to me) but ALSO they're immensely hilarious and weird guys (affectionate). so i love to share these things in hopes that it gives you joy too! they are the most couple ever (to me) (i'm biased)
thank you again for the ask! i hope it can satiate your need for more ryomina, and be a nice aide in exploring the p3 fanspace :)

Hallway Crush (Eddie Munson x F! Reader)
Summary: Where Eddie Munson falls for the girl he sees in the hallway every day.
Tags: Just Y/n and Eddie being cute.
A/n: Y/n is adopted in this, so all ethnicities are welcomed.
Word Count: idk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He saw her every day.
She always had her headphones on, her walkman in her pocket, and her head down, gaze always on the floor and head in the clouds.
He thought she was beautiful.
But he had never actually spoken to her.
He knew she was friends with Robin since she was always with her and lived with her, and constantly visited her at her work with Steve Harrington. Though, she was never really friends with Steve until his senior year. He didn't know why though because he was a total douche from what he had heard about him. Maybe not as much of a douche in his Senior year but he was still known as 'Steve The Hair Harrington' around Hawkins.
He wants to talk to her and get to know her but he never gets the proper chance.
So he smiles at her.
Even if she doesn't notice he gives her a smile. Just a small little quirk of the lips. At one point she had seen him do so. And she gave him a small smile in return.
He was smiling for the whole remainder of the day. Even Jason was a little freaked out.
At one point, he ran into her at the family video where Steve and Robin worked. Keith didn't really mind her because she didn't cause trouble and she actually helped around the store when she was there. He considered hiring her but she really didn't want to work there since she was already working at the local library.
Eddie was trying to rent The Shining since he really had nothing else to watch at home when he saw her behind the counter, talking to Robin.
"I'm telling you, he's bonkers about you, Y/n, just talk to hi-" She cut herself off when she saw that Eddie had walked in.
He saw her freeze, making direct eye contact with him and then looking down to the floor. Robin rubbed her shoulder gently, then walked up to Eddie.
"What's up?" She said, looking at him.
He wasn't thinking about The Shining anymore though.
"Uh, hello?" She said, waving a hand in front of his face and then following his gaze, realizing that he wasn't looking at her. He was looking at the girl behind the counter. He noticed something click in her eyes but she didn't say anything, just looking back at him.
He finally answered, getting out of his trance. "Uh, I'm looking for The Shining." He said, looking back at the girl behind the counter again.
Robin smirked, knowing. "Yeah, just follow me." She said, waving her hand at him.
He did, looking away from the girl who avoided his gaze the whole time, looking down and sorting some tapes.
Robin handed him the film, both of them behind an aisle. She decided to talk to him about his little (big) crush on her sister.
"So. You have a little crush on my sister?" She asked quietly, a small smirk forming on her face.
His face went beat red.
"Um- what, uh, makes you think that?" He said, looking away from her, feeling his face get warm.
Robin scoffs, "You literally can't tear your eyes away from her. Anywhere she is, you're eyes are on her." She says.
Eddie wasn't sure if his face could get any redder.
She was beautiful but he'd never even spoken a single word to her.
Well, at least not yet.
*Timeskip*
"For the rest of the year, I am going to be assigning partners for everyone in the class."
Everyone groans.
English was a pretty hard subject for Eddie. Hell, it was the reason he was still in school.
"Oh, be quiet, you all know it isn't going to be that bad. You're high schoolers, you can get along for one more semester." She says, getting out her popsicle sticks with everyone's names on them.
Eddie zones out until he hears his name being called.
"Eddie Munson and Y/n Buckely."
Holy shit, Eddie thinks as Y/n grabs her things, moving to the seat beside him.
Eddie is frozen.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, my g-
"Eddie?" He hears a voice say.
He looks up from where his gaze was on the table and sees the same eyes he sees in the hallway every day. He swears he's seeing an angel.
"Yeah?" He says, looking up at her.
"Are you okay?" She asks.
No. "Yep. Yep, I'm just fine." He says, giving her a tight-lipped smile.
"Okay then," She says, sitting her things down on the table and sitting in the chair. "You do look a little pale though."
The table was one of those science-y types of tables, that was really long, and harsh on your skin. They were also freakishly cold when anyone touched them.
Eddie huffs a laugh at her comment. "Uh, I'm just a little hot." He says, rubbing the back of his neck. Meanwhile, Eddie was freaking out internally, completely forgetting about the essay they were supposed to be writing ideas on.
"Hey, um, do you happen to have any ideas for the essay that's coming up? We're supposed to be writing down some ideas," Y/n says, getting out her journal from her bag.
"Uh, not yet. Do you have any ideas?" He asks, grabbing his journal as well, ignoring the burning feeling on his cheeks.
"No, but we can come up with ideas together. Do you want it to be a fictional fantasy? I know you play DnD, so I'm sure you could come up with some pretty good ideas for that genre." She says, flipping for a blank page in her journal, not looking up at him.
Eddie could barely speak, too enhanced by her. He hadn't even opened his journal yet.
"Um, yeah, yeah. I think I could. D'you want to write down some ideas together?" He asks.
She smiles at his apprehensiveness. "Sure," She says, bringing her chair closer to his.
About 20 minutes later, the two had come up with more ideas than everyone in the class combined. They were just in their own little world, making up ideas every which way.
"Okay, so what if there was like, some sort of secret kind of thing that happened throughout the village that caused some sort of like a-" The bell rang midway through Eddie's sentence, causing him to sigh and stop talking.
"Um, do you want to meet up at my house after school?" Y/n asks him, putting her notebook back in her bag.
"Uh, y-yeah sure." He says, closing his as well, putting it aside.
"Okay! I'll write my street down for you," she says, grabbing a piece of scrap paper from her bag and writing down her address.
"Here you go," She says, handing him the paper. "See ya!"
Oh my god, He thinks as she walks off.
"Are you serious?" Robin exclaims once Y/n told her the news.
"Shh!" Y/n says, putting a finger up to her lips. "You know that the band table isn't that far away from the DnD table!"
"Oh whatever," Robin shoos her off, "Besides, he's literally coming to our house later, there's more to worry about than him hearing us."
Y/n rolls her eyes.
Soon enough, school ends and Y/n is waiting by the door for him to ring.
"Y'know it's just going to feel longer if you just sit there," Robin says from behind her.
Y/n huffs a laugh, turning around to face her and seeing her in the kitchen, grabbing a snack. "Well, I don't want to run to the door when I hear him." She says, toying with her hands.
"You know you're going to even if-" Robin gets cut off by the sound of the doorbell, both of the siblings pausing. Then Robin's eyes grow wide. She grabs her snack, running to her room as Y/n runs to the door.
She reaches it, twisting the nob and pulling it open, her eyes meeting Eddie's doe ones.
"Hi," She says, greeting him.
"Hello," He says, a small smile quirking at the corners of his lips. He's leaning against the doorway, his tall frame nearly reaching the top of it. Over his right shoulder, his black backpack takes its place, resting on his back comfortably, his hair, resting over the front of his shoulders.
"Come in," She says, gesturing for him to follow her.
They walk to the kitchen table, Y/n taking a seat at one of the chairs. Eddie places his bag down, sitting beside her.
"We can just continue on where we left off in English," Y/n says, turning to the page they were at in the class.
"Sounds good to me," Eddie says smiling at her gently, his eyes, looking into hers. Y/n swears she feels a shiver go down her back when his eyes look into hers. She looks away, ignoring the fluttery feeling in her stomach, and focuses back on the page.
"So what were you saying in English?" Y/n asks, grabbing her pencil off of the table.
"Right!" Eddie continues enthusiastically, "So I was thinking-"
A few hours later, the sun goes down, and the two, still blabbering on, are now done with their ideas and piecing together a plot for the story.
"So the knight makes his way into the cave, coming across this pile of golds and gems, and he's completely in shock. He tries to grab one of the items and all of a sudden the cave starts to-" Eddie stops his rant, looking out the window and then checking the time on his watch.
"Oh, shit." He mutters, looking back up at her.
"What? What's wrong?" Y/n asks, concern filling her.
Eddie rubs his neck, feeling nervous that he stayed over so long. "Uh, nothing it's just that it's a little late so if you wanted to stop-" Eddie gets cut once more off by the girl, hearing a sigh leave her lips.
"Thank god, I thought something was actually wrong," She says. "Just so you know, it really doesn't matter how long you stay over. Besides, I like hanging out with you." She says.
Eddie smiles in relief. "Oh. Um, thank you." He says.
"Of course," Y/n says, giving him a smile and then turning back to the page.
Soon enough, it actually gets really late so the two wrap up, finishing up their paragraph. Y/n gives Eddie a drink, helping him pack up.
"Uh, not to weird you out or anything but I really did enjoy this," Eddie says, tossing his back over his shoulder.
Y/n smiles, "I did too." She says.
"You can say no, but, um. Would you like to do this again sometime? But like, without the project. We can go out and eat, watch a movie, or even go to my place if you want to!" Eddie says, smiling nervously at the end of his sentence, playing with one of the rings of his fingers.
Y/n looks up at him, smiling. "Uh- yeah. Yeah, I would like that." She says.
"Oh! Um. Great!" He says, smiling and then remembering that he was supposed to leave. "I guess, I'll go," Eddie says, gesturing towards the door.
"Well,"
"Um,"
Two tried speaking at the same time, then looked up at each other, laughing when they realized how nervous the both of them were.
"Bye, Eddie," Y/n says, smiling at him.
"Goodbye, Y/n." He says, smiling at her and then closing the door behind him.
Y/n sighs, "Well I'm screwed." She says.
"Oh you're totally into him," Robin says from behind her, grabbing a chip out of her bag and eating it.
"Shut up," Y/n says.

Reading the tags of your recent Kunoichi Turtles post that Female Casey has a bit of a flirtatious personality has led me to headcanon that when Lavinia starts crushing on David (I think that’s Mona’s genderbent name in your AU?) she goes to Casey for advice and tips on how to flirt with a boy but when actually trying to use the flirting tips on David she fails miserably (like that flirting lesson scene from the movie Jumanji), but unknowingly to Vinnie the bad flirting worked and David is smitten XD
AHAHAHA! XD I would literally cry from second hand embarrassment if an episode like that existed. Maybe, maybe, I can see that happening a few "episodes" after David's first introduced into the story, after Vin finally comes to terms with her emotions. Because in this version the relationship progresses slowly over the course of like a season and a half (a lot of that due to David only visiting when his job demands it), and Vin has cold feet like for most of that time lol
David is the one who gets smitten with Vin first in my story and starts making subtle advances while Vin is completely on edge and skeptical of them and needs a while to realize that he actually likes her in a romantic sense, for real, and doesn't have some ulterior motive. After that she's just very awkward and tongue-tied about it.
You know how Raph kept telling Donnie to give up on his crush because they're all giant mutants that won't ever get a chance at love? I wanted to put attention on that part from canon since the show didn't give me that with the canon Ramona. Raph being a teenage girl can only make that mind-set worse, giving him/her more insecurity and self-hatred. Especially since Vin is the biggest of her sisters and the least "cute" and feminine of them. So I don't see her making the first move in any situation, and I think she'd only flirt after it would be made clear the other person feels the same way.
Ahh, sorry, that got a bit serious maybe. The two actually have a really sweet and healthy relationship (y'know, in my head, where it's been living rent free for years now lol), Lavinia just has to work out some things first before she's angst free.
In this AU we first meet David in the episode Newtralized, where David and Sal are trying to arrest the Newtralizer. Slash is there (he's an all-time baddie in this version), Vin gets captured thanks to David getting in the way of the fight, David feels responsible and goes to save her -> bla bla bla -> Vin has a rescued princess moment that she doesn't know how to feel about...
I've been trying to make this episode into an actual fic for the longest time. On the topic of Casey, I'm showing you a short section from the wip. It takes place toward the end when they've all reunited. I think it's also a good example on why Vin would not go to Casey for romantic advice XD
.
.
.
Casey leans in close to her face, her hooded eyes joining her friend’s thoughtful gaze on the young Salamandrian on the other side of the rooftop who is currently listening to his veteran commander going over what had happened while they were split up.
“Look at him standing there,” she says to her smoothly, almost whispering into her ear, “dark skin over toned muscle. Those abs, man.”
“Casey!” Vin cries out in shock and horror and swings around to face her friend’s smug smile.
“Like a chiseled renaissance statue,” Sofie helps with uncharacteristic coyness to her smile.
“Sofie, no!”
All four of the girls are grinning like Cheshire Cats at Lavinia’s discomfort, enjoying themselves way too much. Vin’s cheeks and nose are thoroughly covered in a deep blush and she hates that it’s there in the first place. She doesn’t even like the guy.
“David the Statuesque! That’s what I’m naming him.” Marie exclaims, sounding proud of herself for that one. “I was going to go with something more fun but since he’s your knight in shining armor—Literally!—I gotta be respectful.”
Vin can’t even hide her tortured grimace. Her shoulders sag and she sighs miserably. “I hate you guys.”

Ayo, saw you where taking requests amd was wondering if you wanted to do something like the minotaur but with an aquatic monster? Tails, gills, fins, claws, the whole works. Nsfw or sfw, whatever tickles your fancy.
If this is too restrictive, dont bother but i love your work and i can't wait to see more!!!
🫧 bubble anon🫧
Hello darling bubble! I hope I interpreted what you said correctly...this is just a cute little fluffy thing. It's inspired by this monster, but I didn't really stick to that lore...mostly just the look...and the habit for drowning towns.
Water Spirit (Jael) x pixie female reader
Word Count: 2k
W: sfw fishy monster fluff, some name calling, this has the slightest yandere vibe i'm not even sure if I should label it that 😳 so idk if someone wants me to tag it I will
Tumblr media
“Stop fidgeting,” you giggled to your client Jael as you tipped on a stool to get to his messy green hair. It was curly and long with thick, flat, wrinkly strands like seaweed. 
You sprayed his hair with water, though it didn’t take much because it was already a bit damp. It had dried out some from the walk from the river where he lived to your salon in the village, so you just squirted the drying ends a bit before rubbing your fingers on his scalp. 
Smiling at him in the mirror, you watched his big, pupil-less, white-less, blue eyes narrow in pleasure as you gave him one of your famous head massages. 
“So what do you want? The usual?” you asked, playing with the tips of his hair. 
“Do whatever you think looks good,” he said like he always did. 
You played with his hair a bit more just because you could, winding and unwinding the curls. He had a nice clean, rainwater scent and his thick hair strands felt good wrapped on your fingers. 
Jael was an enormous water spirit who would never be mistaken for a human on the street. His skin was blue-green and scaled, fading to dark blue at his clawed and webbed hands and feet. 
The scales were beautiful, iridescent, and shone like jewels. His flesh was firm and taught, stretching over sinewy muscles, some you were sure human men didn’t even have. 
His mouth was a far too wide to be at all human-like and filled with large sharp teeth, his lips a little on the fleshy side, giving him a slightly froggish look. On his neck, delicate frills laced his gills and the spikes on his back that could be raised in combat were relaxed against his skin.
You’d carefully covered his gills with a wrap so they didn’t get hair on them. Behind him a thick fishy tail flopped back and forth, which is what you wanted him to stop doing. 
“Well I can’t do anything if you wont sit still,” you teased, squeezing his shoulder. 
He gave you a bashful smile and looked down, willing his tail to be still. Behind you, the bell to your shop jingled and you pinched Jael lightly before climbing down from the stool. 
“Be right back,” you assured him.
At the front of the dark little one room storefront you’d made your salon, your landlord was standing with an envelope in his hand. 
“Oh, good afternoon, Dommik, I wasn’t expecting you. Is everything okay?” you asked. 
He gave you a wide, toothy smile that was a bit unsettling. 
“Just here to drop off a notice,” he said, passing you the document scrawled in his black pen, “rent is going up. The village is growing and property values are soaring. I can’t afford to keep you here for practically nothing.” 
“I wouldn’t call it nothing,” you murmured to yourself opening the envelope, then gasped when you read what was on the page, “Dommik this is insane! I can’t afford this. We live in a village, not the capital! This is six times as much as I pay now! Half of my customers pay me in chickens! ” 
You gestured to the box of fish that Jael himself had brought to barter for his haircut. You lived in a tiny village in the countryside, most people were pretty poor. You, yourself, didn’t even have a home and lived in the small back room of the salon. It had a bathroom and a wood stove, which was enough. Hardly anyone paid in actual coin except the tradesmen passing through on their way to the capital, the doctor, and the mayor. 
“Look (Y/N), I’m not running a charity here,” he said easily, “you have to pay market value. If your shop isn’t profitable, that's not my concern.” 
His sharp black eyes glinted at you.
“But since you mentioned bartering,” he said, taking a few steps closer to you and looking you up and down, “Why don’t we take a ride in my carriage together?” 
His hand found the column of your neck and a finger drifted down it. You instinctively took a step back. 
“You’re quite pretty (Y/N),” he said, “you have plenty to offer me other than money. I’m sure we can work something out.” 
A growl rose up behind you and you jumped when you glanced back, startled. Jael was looming over you, his massive teeth bared and the spikes on his back raised, sharp and glittering in the flickering lamplight of your shop. 
“Get. Out.” he boomed at Dommik. 
The goblin took a step back, but tried to rally his courage. 
“Th-this is my property, Jael,” he growled, “y-you can’t throw me out!” 
Jael thumped forward, the floorboards whining under his weight. 
“Let’s test your theory,” he thundered. 
Since the goblin had a healthy sense of self preservation he glared at you and made his exit. 
“You’re evicted you little bitch! I’m bringing the village guard and having you thrown out! Stay right here! I’m coming back with all the orcs in town and the mayor and having both of you arrested!” he yelped before he tripped over himself to get out of the front door. 
Your face blanched and you stared after him though the mottled glass windows at the front of the shop, holding the scrap of paper limply in your hand. Looking down at it tears filled your eyes. 
“Well what am I supposed to do now?” you muttered. 
Jael grunted, yanking off the cover you’d draped over him to cut his hair and stomped over to you, scooping you up by your waist. 
“Hey…what are you doing?!” you asked as he marched out the front door with you. 
“You’re coming home with me,” he said, matter of factly as his long legs ate up ground. 
“B-but why? What about the salon?!” 
He shrugged. 
“Looks like the salon is a loss. We should probably lay low until Dommik loses interest in having us arrested,” he patted you on the head, “but don’t worry, my house is a lot better than that dingy room you were camped in.” 
It crossed his mind to murder the goblin in your honor and perhaps drown the town simply since he was displeased, but he had something far, far more important planned. Murder could come later.
“You live in the river,” you pointed out. 
He chuckled. 
“You’ll see,” he said, “just wait. I’ve been fixing it up for just this moment.” 
Your brow drew. 
“You have?” you asked, but he didn’t respond and just looked forward as he made his way towards the rushing water. 
When you got to the river you panicked as he seemed like he was simply going to walk into it with you in his arms. 
“Jael!” you cried, “I’m not a water nymph! I’ll drown!” 
You were just a simple pixie. You hardly had any magic or abilities at all except you could open locks and shoot a bit of stinging glitter out of your hands to defend yourself. 
“Hold your breath,” he said, as if that were a reasonable answer. 
Still, you had no choice but to do just that as he dove beneath the fast moving river water. His powerful tail propelled you deep into the rocky bed of the river. You had no idea it was this deep. It was much too fast for you to swim in and hardly any boats dared to try and tame it. The pace of the water slowed as you reached the dark bottom, but your lungs were burning. 
Just when you thought you were going to suck in a cold lungful of water, he carried you up through a hole into an air filled cavern. You gasped in sweet oxygen, the air cool and tasting a bit sweet. Looking around, you found the cavern you were in was not dark at all, but lit quite pleasantly with elven lights that glowed with no apparent source of power. 
Though you knew you were in a cave, it hardly looked like it. The fairy lights fed a jungle of beautiful plants and flowers growing out of all sorts of bright, colorful pots and stone planters. As he dragged himself onto the ground, water splashed on a mosaic tile floor depicting river creatures. 
The space was lushly decorated with statues and macramed hammocks hanging from white columns spiraling up to the high ceiling. It didn’t feel claustrophobic at all, even though you were underground.
The soaring ceiling was covered in philodendrons that had grown towards the lights. He clearly had done a lot of business with the elves, who were skilled in enchanting objects. A statue danced as it poured water into a fountain and large palms flapped lazily on their own to stir the air, keeping it from getting damp. 
What was perhaps most remarkable about it was that it was filled with things that you'd told Jael you liked over the years. You'd talked about plants you'd liked. They were all there, lush and blooming.
You'd mentioned your favorite colors, everything was done up in the right hues to make it shine the brightest among them. Silly decorations you'd described, fabrics you'd shown him from catalogues.
All the stupid musings you'd accumulated as you'd cut his hair over the years, daydreaming about a future where you wouldn't live in the back room of the salon he'd taken and turned into your perfect home. You couldn't believe it, but it also couldn't possibly be a coincidence.
“How is this possible?” you gasped, confused. 
You’d imagined Jael just wallowing at the bottom of the river, sleeping among the river grass. 
He chuckled at you. 
“I’ve lived here a long time,” he explained, “I've had the time to make it nice for you.” 
“For me?”
He nodded. 
“My mate,” he said. 
You blinked at him. Throwing around the M word had special meaning in Fairy. The Goddess of Fairy, Freya, thought it was romantic that every one of her creations have a fated mate (or mates in the case of polyamorous quints, she herself had four dragon mates). She felt it gave you focus and a purpose that humans (creations of the human God) didn’t have, making them volatile and cruel. 
Maybe that was true, maybe it wasn’t but it held a lot of meaning for Fairyfolk. It was disgusting to declare those words falsely. Every Fairyfolk prayed their whole life that the Goddess wouldn’t punish them and deny them their mate. It happened. She was as vengeful as she was romantic. 
“M-mate?” you asked. 
He gave you a half smile that was all jagged teeth. 
“You’re so precious (Y/N),” he beamed. 
You looked at him, taking his jewel colored scales and the delicate ridges that made his frilled ears. You hoped he was your mate. He was absolutely hot, but could it be so simple as all that? 
You could hardly believe a plain, weak pixie such as yourself would be mated to a river spirit. He was powerful, physically and magically. Dommik could threaten with all the orcs he liked, but Jael was far stronger than even ten of them. He could level the village by raising the water and drown everyone in it if it suited his whim. It simply didn’t seem possible that he would be mated to you. 
“B-but…if that’s true, why didn’t you say something?” you asked. 
His blue-green cheeks darkened to almost navy blue. 
“I was scared…” he said, and you raised an eyebrow at him. How could he be scared? He was massive! He shouldn’t be scared of anything! 
“You’re just so…pretty. You're so perfect and delicate...I mean look at me. I'm a monster, but you're so pure...and when you smile my brain shuts down. I wanted it to be perfect and I could never come up with the words…so…I’ve let you suffer,” he said softly, looking ashamed, “are you mad?” 
You shook your head, your cheeks pink. 
“No…I mean, I understand,” you said, “I wouldn’t have known what to say either. I don’t know what to say now!”
He swept you around so you were directly in front of him. 
“Maybe that’s the Goddess telling us talking isn’t what we should be doing right now,” he said, his voice husky. 
You nodded at him slowly and smiled, wrapping your legs around him.

Congratulations on the 150 🥳 you deserve it! "Bad Habits" lives rent free in my head (Fives 😮‍💨) and I recently reread "In His Sights" (now that I'm back in my Crosshair era) and the feelings are just 🤌.
Can we get either “I will never get enough of you.” for Fives or “You can do better than that.” for Crosshair and afab reader?
Thank you, can't wait to read everything you come up with!!
Hiiii Zwei! Thank you so much for celebrating with me! You're so sweet, I'm so glad my writing resonated with you. That has honestly been the wildest part of being on here - not only are other people reading and enjoying my writing, but so many of you are badass writers like yourself, and I'm just "...you like MY writing?" 🥺
I decided to write the Fives prompt, but TBH, I actually started the Crosshair prompt, too, because I LOVE the line you chose for him. I need more time to sit with that idea, though, and you've already been so patient. So thank you for celebrating with me. Here's a little Fives spiciness, and maybe keep your eye out for Crosshair down the line!
Pairing: Fives x F!Reader
Warnings/Tags: NSFT *Minors DNI*, Established relationship, Teasing, Fingering, Oral (female receiving), Public play, Explicit consent
Word Count: 1.2k
Tumblr media
One of the best things about dating Fives, aside from everything about him, was how you instantly gained a whole gang of brothers who loved you nearly as much as he did when they saw you were good for him and that he was serious about you.
Fives, however, hated it, or so he liked to say. The weighest, most dramatic sighs would leave his lips when you and Kix would tag team to roast him, or when the punchline of yours and Jesse’s elaborate pranks would finally land. Still, he would always hug you a little harder and smile a little wider afterward.
He also never hesitated to give it back to you, like he was right now. As retribution for you and Kix dragging his choice of candles during his last “secret” spa night, he had just revealed to his brothers that your sense of direction was so bad that you had once gotten lost in your own apartment building six years after moving in.
“I’ve had about enough of your nonsense.” You wagged your finger at Fives, in between bouts of bellyaching laughter.
He pretended to snap at it. You jerked your hand back to your core, clutching it to your heart in mock offense. Fives let out a full laugh as his arm snaked around your shoulder, and he pulled you into his chest. You leaned against the broad frame of your handsome boyfriend as you turned back to face his brothers. Jesse, Kix, and Tup watched you both with grins on their faces.
“Now they’re just getting gross.” Jesse shook his head as he elbowed Tup.  
“Jealousy is a bad look, Jesse.” Fives snorted.
“Yeah, yeah,” Jesse waved him off before he stood and stretched. He cast his eyes out over the rest of the club. “Only thing I’m jealous of is that full drink in front of you. Tup, Kix, let’s get another round and try our luck on the dance floor.”
Kix smirked as he rose to his feet. You watched as his eyes sifted through the crowd until they found the cute woman you'd noticed Kix trade glances with all night. She felt his look right away, her eyes lifting from the friend she was talking to and meeting his, bringing a shy smile to her pretty face and a flush to her cheeks. She quickly glanced back down at her drink before tilting her look back up again and watching Kix through hooded eyes. Kix’s cool smile never flickered. He turned back to your table with the same cool, confident smirk.
“Someday, you’ll learn, Jess.” Kix patted his brother on the shoulder. “Luck’s got nothing to do with it.”
Kix began an unhurried walk toward the woman. Jesse frowned as he followed his brother’s look. Then, he cursed under his breath as he moved to trail behind Kix. 
Tup chuckled to himself as he watched them go. 
“You can hang out, Tup.” You smiled at the remaining clone, “Promise we’re not that gross.”
“Someone’s got to keep an eye on Jesse.” He shrugged as he reached up for his hair tie. “Besides, he doesn’t remember, but it’s his turn to be wingman tonight. He owes me one.”
Tup winked at you and Fives as his dark curls fell over his shoulders. Then, with a quiet swagger, he followed his brothers’ path to the bar.
“Go easy on ‘em, you rancor.” Fives called out. Then he turned to you with shining eyes. "Just the two of us now."
He dug his finger into the flesh just above your knee. Slowly and without releasing pressure, he dragged his calloused fingertips up the inside of your leg until he found the most inner crease of your thigh.
“What are you up to?” You flashed a cheeky smile at your boyfriend, despite the stirring feeling that suddenly appeared in the pit of your stomach.
“Oh, you know," Fives' eyes flashed darkly at you. Beneath the table, his touch crept underneath your panties to find your already pooling entrance. "Nonsense."
It wasn't the first time you'd played in public, but this was certainly the most exposed you'd ever been. Your eyes scanned the crowd, but no one was looking into your dark corner booth. Their attention was on their own affairs.
Fives waited until you turned back to him, his eyes locking on yours. You knew what he was waiting for.
“Don't stop." You finally spoke, the words more choked than you'd expected them to be.
Two broad fingers slowly breached you, the slow friction making you dizzy with the sudden pleasure. Your head fell to his neck as he began to thrust, pulling heavy breath from you with every motion. You began to grind into his palm, unconsciously searching for more friction.
Then his hand disappeared from underneath your panties. When you looked back up at him, his fingertips had found their way up his grinning lips. He popped his fingers between them, winking at you as he cleaned them of your juices. He pulled it from his mouth with a pop before he hungrily leaned in to capture you in a furious kiss. You could taste yourself on his tongue, mixed with the headyness of his kiss, and the liquor from your drinks. The slick between your legs grew. 
Finally, he broke the kiss, and as he pulled away, he lifted his arm from your shoulder. With a sideways smile and a surprising amount of stealth for still wearing the lower half of his armor, Fives dropped to the floor and disappeared underneath the tablecloth. You quickly felt his hot breath on your knees.  
“But I thought you’d had enough of my nonsense?” Fives' voice was cheeky and raised just enough so you could hear him above the din. He spread your legs apart, his eagerness clear in his speed and strength.
You started to say something when a finger slid back inside of you, stopping the words on your lips. Instead, you let out a small whine. You quickly scanned the crowd again. Still, no one was paying attention to your dark corner.
Fives pressed a kiss to the inside of your knee and smiled against your skin, bringing your attention back where it belonged. He slowly kissed a soft line up your thigh, tracing the path his fingers had taken earlier. At the same time, he began to drag his finger in and out of you, hooking it as he moved, alternating between spreading you open and reaching your sensitive spongey spot. Then, his teeth nipped your inner thigh as his head reached your center. He pulled your panties to the side with his free hand. You held your breath. The neon lights flashed around you, adding to the intoxicating feeling of the moment. On the dancefloor, the music began to crescendo. A second finger breached you. Then, his broad tongue found your clit. You had to bite your lip to stifle a moan. Your hand fell and found purchase in his hair. The pressure spurred him on as he began to dance over your sensitive nub, sending wave after wave to your core.
“I will never get enough of you.” You let out a breathy sigh as your head fell back into the cushion of the booth. Bliss followed soon after.

Top 5 Redacted Quotes (BA Edition)
My darling @gingerbreadmonsters tagged me so lovingly <3 And I initially was like "oh I don't know what my favorites are" until I decided I realized no one can stop me from doing my favorite moments in BAs that had me keyboard smashing (usually at Lexi) at all hours of the day.
So, without further ado, quotes from Redacted BAs that have made me so furiously feral I black them out of my memory to function.
Tagging some of my discord buddies <3 no pressure!!! @calicostorms @bratty-telepath @bicyclepainting @horrorscoupes @angelnoodlesoup @just-call-me-angel
NSFW/NSFT under the cut, MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
Starting off with my Number 1, which is the shortest but somehow most powerful of all:
Sam BA "You fixin' to bounce on this cock?" Stop. Stop everything. I about DIED. I have text receipts of me texting Lexi furiously screaming about this whole audio BUT THIS LINE? There is no salvation, only damnation and I run to it.
Number 2, a very close race:
David Hot Boi Winter/Proposal BA "Because every thread in my body is screaming for you, to have you. I wanna dig my teeth into your skin. I wanna fuck you into this bed so hard that the frame breaks underneath us, and then fuck you into the floor even harder." LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK. OH MY GOD??? LET ME LIVE??? This audio was made specifically for bitches with their monsterfucker license who love possessive feral primal play (it's me I'm bitches). I had to relisten to this because I completely blacked out listening to it the first time because I was so feral and relistening was... words cannot describe. Help.
Number 3, the audio that birthed my url:
Milo BA illegal that it is the only one "Yeah? You want me to use this mouth of yours? Whose mouth is this? Good. [...] Kiss it first. Just kisses. Yeah, he's happy to see you." Milo Greer WHAT THE FUCK. I was only going to use the "yeah he's happy to see you" because that line is the kind of hilarious deviant shit I like, bUT WHOSE MOUTH IS THIS? Sir. I was minding my black business how could you do me like this?
Number 4, probably one of my all time fave audios
HuxDami Confession BA Can I just... "[Insert SS tier nefarious neck ultra high-quality throat goat noises]" "I'm made of tough stuff too Hux... and I like it rough. I'll tell you if it's too much. [...] Now show me what that body of yours can do, big guy." "Bet." "More." "Oh fuck. Oh god. Alright, you want more? I can give you more baby." This audio is so revolutionary I couldn't pick one quote. As a Damien kinnie who has gotten at least two five star Yelp reviews for my head game, real recognizes real. That was some the rent is due tomorrow vortex neck and like... I can't even describe how much I love this audio. The "bet"? ofaoiefoss. "More" was the moment where I said "oh god is this ME?" Damien Throat Goat Hours <3
Number 5, straight from the boy Lexi used as a WEAPON to drag me into this fandom:
Lasko Hot Boi Winter BA “I’m thinking really, really hard. I’m definitely not just, um, not, not just, a fucking puddle of precum, and very almost actual real cum.” “I’m a good boy. Good boys hold it in. Good boys hold it in.” Lexi knew that if they dangled a subby, flustered nerdy boy in front of my face I would be helpless and goddammit I am. I blacked out and wrote like 2k words of smut continuing the sextember audio just to make him cry. THIS? It was so funny and cute and just so.... sfsofspojfswe hot omg Lasko is just so whiny and whimpery that I become so fucking feral...
Honorable mentions!
Sextember Lasko BA - "I’m not gonna have a brain by the end of this! I’m just gonna be some drooling, crying, humping mess pulling you around like I’m in heat or something. No that’s not hot, that’s cruel! What do you mean that’s what makes it hot?!" Lasko Hot Boi Winter BA - "you're evil, you're so fucking evil, it's okay! It's okay!" Sam BA - "You wanna ride your cow- You little… Get over here. I oughta whoop your ass for that one, you menace."
I think I might do another one of these but JUST for meme quotes because I need to do my url so badly. It's maybe the funniest thing Milo has ever said.

Daydreamin’ 🩰
daydreamin' by ariana grande but it's gwen thinking about miles when she's back home
w/c: 731
tags: fluff, gwen missing miles, rent free in her head, fluff
You walked in
Caught my attention
When Gwen got thrown into the middle of Times Square she was instantly confused and shocked to find she wasn't in her own New York. Her spidey sense led her to Visions Academy, for what reason? She was unsure until she was hanging by her locker and felt this instant energy with some guy.
It was weird and it's nothing like anything she's ever experienced, it felt different and special. She knew she had to stick around to get the answers she needed.
A few days later she's in a psychics class when that guy walked in, her spidey sense was going crazy. Interesting.
I've never seen
A man with so much dimension
He wasn't like anyone she's ever stumbled upon, he had to be special because she's never had this much of a reaction towards someone.
And maybe it wasn't just the spidey sense.
There was something about him that she couldn't lay her finger on. What was it?
She tried her hardest to push away the thought that he sure did have a cute smile. She had to figure things out and not get distracted.
It's the way you walk
The way you talk
The one you make me feel inside
But she really couldn't help it. Especially when she felt someone bump into her and low and behold it was him. He gave her a semi-awkward introduction and right after, she gave hers.
She thought hers was even worse because she kept babbling on about being South African, was he even listening?
It's in your smile
It's in your eyes
I don't wanna wait for tonight
She rambled on with no care in the world and admired the way his eyes glistened while looking back at her. Then afterwards the little smile he gave her before gently grabbing her shoulder.
Suddenly all hell breaks loose when his hand is stuck onto her hair and she's trying her hardest to help him relax, now knowing he was just like her, but him seeming oblivious.
And unfortunately she had to shave a part of her hair off, it did piss her off for the rest of the school day until she calmed herself and couldn't really blame him. He was clearly new at this, and she ended up confirming that theory when saving him and Peter B from Doc Ock.
So I'm daydreamin'
With my chin in the palm of my hands
About you
You
And only you
Got me
Then after a few days it all came to an end. She couldn't stop thinking about him. How could one boy that she knew for less than a week, live freely in in her thoughts?
She'd sit in her classes, chin on her palm and remember the memories of the first day she met him. Or even how she saw him briefly before then. She thought he was cute before and tried to ignore those thoughts not knowing he was going to end up changing her life.
That he was going to be the reason she'd be able to go back home but once she got there, there was nothing she wanted more than to go back to him.
To spend more time with him, swing together, chat about anything and everything possible. To give advice and help him with whatever he asked.
She grew bored of being in her dimension and without the friends she made. But more specifically Miles.
Daydreaming, with my chin in the palm of my hands
About you
You
And only you
Only you
How did she end up going to have such strong feelings towards a boy like that? Why can't she get him out of her head? Why was her heart thumping every time she daydreams of every moment she had with him? How was it possible for her to gain feeling towards him so quickly?
She hadn't seen him in weeks now and all she had was a Polaroid picture of her with him, and her memories.
Along with the dreams she'd end up sleeping to and waking up with. She wanted nothing more than to see his smile, hear his laugh, see him in his new and improved suit, that she thought looked great.
She loved how creative he was as well as how strong and intelligent he was. She missed him. A lot.

Junichi Wanima boyfriend headcanons
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH HNNGG HE'S LIVING RENT FREE IN MY HEAD AND I'M NOT COMPLAINING
Tags: gn!reader x Junichi Wanima, fluff, established relationship
-Keisuke is definitely third wheeling most of the time. In the beginning, he was useful to translate whatever Junichi wanted to say, but you quickly picked up on what's in your boyfriend's brain ao Keisuke isn't needed anymore now. He loves to stick around all the time, though
-Junichi's main love language is physical touch! He just loves hugs and kisses and cuddles and everything. He's surprisingly clingy as well but won't admit to that. It's hard to convince you otherwise when he's constantly holding your hand wherever you go, though
-his second love language is acts of service! Very close to physical touch, though. You barely notice a difference in what he does more. But if he had to choose it'd be physical touch
-sometimes he gets frustrated because he wants to say something, but doesn't know how and his brain just doesn't form a coherent sentence. You always notice when he gets frustrated because he makes noises and facial expressions like... you know the way he usually communicates
-sometimes, Junichi does manage to say something and when he does it's A LOT at once. Just him saying things he loves about you and what he's thankful for!! He always sounds a little bit aggressive but you often give him cuteness aggression so partly he's just letting that out
-but he's very glad about how quickly you started understanding him without words!! You can just look at him and know what he wants to say immediately. When the relationship began, he was actually pretty insecure because he was afraid communicating would be too hard for you.
-Junichi very much loves listening to you talk. He could literally listen to you talk for hours and never get tired of it. He may not respond much verbally, but he remembers a lot about you!

I was tagged by @elephant-in-the-pride-parade.... 20 fic writing questions here we goooooooo 1. How many works do you have on AO3?: 58
2. What's your total AO3 word count?: 171,059
3. What fandoms do you write for? Star Trek: Voyager, Prodigy, Next Gen, Picard, Strange New Worlds... I've also dipped a toe into some other fandoms recently, but mostly drabbles.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Gotta Start Somewhere! (Trektober 2022) (198)
Rotund (113)
Postlude to a Kiss  (98)
What Happens on the Holodeck Stays on the Holodeck (97)
Kitchen Confidential (87)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I don't always have a lot to say, but I try to at least acknowledge comments with a heart or a "thank you."
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hmmm probably Just Another Love Story (J/C Workforce AU)? Most of the time I try for at least a hopeful ending but that one is a real cliffhanger... Forever, Honey, and Au Revoir, Mon Amour are also probably in the running (thanks, Whumptober).
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? As I said, I do like a happy ending, so this is harder to narrow down... but I think maybe All Things Bright and Beautiful (very fluffy Beverly/Kathryn fic)... or else maybe The Best Things In Life Are Free (J/C domestic fluff)
8. Do you get hate on fics? Not really, although I have gotten comments here and there where people are pretty adamant about how they want the story to go... even if it's not the way I'm planning it to go 🤷‍♀️
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I will heavily imply it from time to time but that's as close as I get!
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Within the Star Trek universe, absolutely... And Beverly/ Kathryn is one of my favorite pairings. I also attempted a Doctor Who / Voyager crossover but ended up spending the whole time with Ten & Donna... who knows, maybe I'll give that another try eventually.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of (except probably Chat GPT)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No one has but I would be open to it!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Did my first one very recently! Kathryn vs Coffee with @magdalenejaneway
14. What's your all-time favourite ship? Kathryn Janeway/ Chakotay.... even though I'm a bit turned off by Robert Beltran at the moment, I've mostly been able to disassociate the character I write with the actor! But I do also love Kathryn/ Beverly and Picard/ Crusher (TNG)
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? N/A
16. What are your writing strengths? Getting inside characters' heads/ working out why they did whatever dumb thing the original writers made them do because they had to crank out 24 episodes a season 😂
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plotting out a story in advance, visual descriptions
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I love languages but if I'm going to use another language in a fic, I will double and triple check that all of the vocab and grammar are correct and also make sure to provide a translation or enough context that one isn't needed.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Star Trek Voyager
20. Favourite fic you've ever written? Most challenging fic that I think I'm most proud of: Flecks of Light and Dark (depression focused J/C rewrite spanning from 'Hope and Fear' through to 'Latent Image') But the one that kind of lives rent free in my head at the moment is All the Wounds We Cannot See (Kathryn and Beverly meet-cute, post-Picard season 3)
That was a fun little trip down memory lane! I will tag (with zero pressure!) @madamairlock, @n-square, and @captainhattersvoyagerreviews... and anyone else who wants to answer the questions!

Loki Episode 1 Reactions (Less Coherent Edition)
It's been two and a half years, y'all, and what a start to the new season it was. (I've seen mixed reviews in the tag, but personally the initial reaction is I loved it.) What I apparently forgot in those two years, however, is that my in-the-moment reactions notes are not very coherent. So I apologize in advance if you aren't sure what part the note refers to. I'm going to make another post tomorrow with some more coherent thoughts around the episode and some predictions about the season in general (I'm also going to be rewatching the episode later so that might lend more clarity to the next post as well). I also cut out a chunk of my reactions that were just me screaming a character's name when they showed up, unless it makes sense for the next note to leave it in (and there were a lot of these, since it's been two and a half years since I've seen my friends).
Obligatory spoiler warning if you weren't already expecting them. Prepare for some wildness. I've bracketed [ ] some brief clarifying post-ep notes (not everywhere though).
I'm obnoxious, I'm watching the entire recap.
The editing of this recap is interesting.
The bleak theme is worrying. I don't like it. But I do love the color scheme of the logo.
SYLVIE???!!!
CASEY!!!
Okay hopefully that wasn't Sylvie.
Someone give this boi [Loki] a nap. He's had a very very very long day and it's only getting longer.
What the fuck is happening.
X-5 you've got the haircut of a cop, I've decided I don't like you.
Man, I hope we fix this time-slipping in this episode, it's stressing me out too fucking much.
Oh motherfuck. This is driving me insane. This is Sisyphean torture. [I don't remember what specifically I was referring to, so I don't remember if this is an accurate description.]
OH MY GOD I LOVE LIZ CARR I HOPE SHE STICKS AROUND [Man, Liz Carr is just hopping from franchise to franchise this summer. She's in Loki, Good Omens, The Witcher)
OH SHIT. Renslayer and Kang. If they kiss on tape I'm marking it on the Bingo.
I DESPERATELY want to know what B-15's backstory is. She's a fantastic character and I want to know how she used this personality on the timeline.
Keep that Hitler youth-looking fuck away from my girl!
Oh my god, I'm going to be watching this conversation in the hall between Loki and Mobius over and over, because I love every part of it. The panicking, the teasing, the touching, the making each other feel better. Just the entire debriefing, reuniting conversation is EVERYTHING to me right now.
"In order to do that I need a Loki Who Remains." I love this
"I have no memory of having my memory wiped." Mobius. This is Catherine Tate on Nevermind the Buzzcocks telling David Tennant "I don't know songs I've never heard of" solidarity [I understand I'm making obscure 13+ year old references but this quote lives in my head rent free]
Ugh I HATE time travel. But it makes sense why his name is OB now. Also his door is a circle.
OB IF YOU KILL LOKI I WILL END YOUR CUTE BESPECTACLED FACE FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY "No...wait."
OB IF YOU KILL MOBIUS I WILL PERSONALLY FLAY THE SKIN FROM YOUR OWN BONES
Mobius writing "skin" into the dust on the computer lololololol
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING JUST LET LOKI CONFESS
OB I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS IF ONE OF THESE BOYS EVEN SEEMS TO DIE AT THE END OF THIS EP
HOW IS HE GONNA HOOF IT BACK IF HE CAN BARELY CRAWL [I started getting really stressed at this point. It's pretty much caps lock from here on out.]
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD WE'RE GONNA END THIS EPISODE WITH MO BITING IT AND THEN LOKI FIXES IT IN EP TWO AND BRINGS HIM BACK
OR LOKI BITES IT AND THE OTHER WAY HAPPENS
THERE'S ELEVEN MINUTES LEFT BUT I DON'T TRUST MARVEL NOT TO MAKE ELEVEN MINUTES OF CREDITS
MARVEL DON'T MAKE ME CHECK OFF THE CRYING BOX [on the Bingo Card] ON EPISODE ONE
MARVEL
I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP
MARVEL
LOKI
MOBIUS
LOKI
MOBIUS
SYLVIE MY DARLING MY PERFECT LOVE THANK YOU OH MY GOD
How wild is it that Loki comes flying back from the jaws of death itself and saves Mobius from getting his skin ripped off and they land on the floor of the TVA in each other's arms, and the first thing Loki does is bring up his ex-girlfriend [I wouldn't classify Sylvie as this, but I'm being tongue-in-cheek, and Mobius did accuse Loki of falling for himself in season 1, so]
OKAY BUT I WAS RIGHT THAT WAS SYLVIE AT THE BEGINNING [Before you reply, remember I can't respond to those, and also I forgot that was the past and at the end Loki's in the future. HOWEVER, I do still think that was Sylvie at the beginning.]
SHE IS IN BROXTON HELL YEAH WHOEVER FIGURED THAT OUT (I don't remember who that was) FOUR FOR YOU HOLY SHIT
Oh Sylvie :(((

P, Q, T 👀
*insert grumble mumble while I hunt down which questions those are*
P- invent random AU for a fandom.
Uhhh... Klondike gold rush era Alaska. 1890s and there's money coming out of the ground at the ends of the earth. The corners of the map have all been filled in but there is one last frontier to explore. The mounties are making your characters carry 3 years worth of supplies up the chilkoot pass. They have more money than God in a place where there is nothing to buy. Wump opportunities galore. The only people actually turning a profit are the outfitters and the whores. The closest version of western civilization is a tent city in a swamp run by gangs stealing luggage. (Anchorage mention) Robert Service is writing poetry about a frozen zombie mailman. Jack London is writing about murder dogs.
Yeah.
I am not optimistic about the quality of a gold rush AU written for fan fic purposes because its a super niche thing that would require assloads of research, but its an incredibly rich setting and frankly a fucking insane period of history. Go read the Cremation of Sam Mcgee and slot in whoever you feel would fit. Tag it as #wouldn't it be fucked up if
Q- i don't so much abandon ships as I put them in drydock and forget about them. I have a habit of latching onto underdeveloped characters in mediocre media that are never going to get any more fleshed out than "cute naive love interest" or "comic relief character #2" and then I'm vaguely dissapointed when the mediocre media wraps up and is content to leave them as accessories of the plot. I have a handful of fics that started as ships, and I did so much work extrapolating personalities and fleshing out the characters that it just became original fiction. The worst offenders are usually Shonen Manga and action movies because while there is a solid chunk of my media taste that is a 9 year old boy who wants to see explosions and superpowers and giant rock-em sock-em robots, those are generally not the kinds of stories that have much in the way of character depth.
Though, sometimes I am surprised and a ship I had thought was moldering away in the back, ready to be scuttled for artificial reef building, comes charging up to the forefront guns blazing and colors flying. Usually when someone has an opinion about Christopher Eccleston. NineRose doesn't so much live in my head rent free as it chewed a hole in the wall and pops out at random moments.
T- do I have any headcannons i will die defending?
I have a bit of a unique approach to head cannons. If it makes the story work better If it makes the story work better then everything is fair even if its contradictory. Senshi is the equivalent of a 20-year-old with a full beard and a 1000 yd stare is supported by canon and contradicted by the supplemental material, but thats not the thing that makes or breaks the headcannon. Its hilarious and fits the themes, despite the fact its not the authors intent.
I do get protective over intentional allegory especially unstated intentional allegory. Just because there isn't a great big banner stating that Pacific Rim, the movie about giant monsters from the ocean, rated on a 1 to 5 category system, showing up specifically because of rising CO2 levels and a warming atmosphere, that the goverment decides to fight for a little bit and then ignore and slap an in effective seawall on it and just let everyone on the coast get fucked, is about hurricanes, doesn't mean that I'm making things up when I say it's about hurricanes. The same with reading the Matrix as a trans allegory. The Wachowski Brothers were the Wachowski Sisters by the time they finished making a trilogy about taking a pill to remain comfortable in the status quo or taking a different pill to make some difficult changes and see the world as it is. So denying any queer interpretation of those movies is somewhere between willful ignorance and illiteracy, especially when the pills are color coded to zanax and oral estrogen.

Like every other artist on this list, every tadpole_art piece is INCREDIBLE, but this one holds a special place in my heart with how vibrant and powerful its color story is <3 also it made me cry
C's tetris sqq art is an eternally loved classic but honestly all of their gouache paintings are so magnificent and deliciously textured that I think you should stare at them all for a million hours

22. Would you or have you cosplayed as any of the characters of SVSSS?
Unfortunately I'm not super into cosplay in general just because I don't like attracting attention HAHA but if I was I would absolutely cosplay Ning Yingying bc I think I could pull it off so well
30. Who's personality do you think more closely represents yours in the SVSSS universe?
deep sigh

Honestly, makes me sad that a small (well... I wouldn't say small small but like not exactly popular?) fandom space is already dealing with shipping drama because no one can handle someone being squicked out by something, especially considering I'm a fan of said ship too. Like, someone disliking and critiquing a ship you enjoy is not a personal attack, what happened to 'don't let someone live in your head rent free'? Or fucking blocking/muting/ignoring and move on? It sucks the fun out when over zealous fans are complaining about someone who's supposedly complaining their ship. It's one thing if someone is like spam trolling the tag, it's another if they're like 'yeah this one isn't for me, please dni if you like this, thanks!' And as much as I enjoy this ship, it's kinda draining to see people try to cause discourse instead of just using the sites tagging system and blocking system to make things easier on both sides, because idc if we share the same interests, if I find out someone I've been following or someone that is my follower has been sending DEATH THREATS over A SHIP you're getting your ass reported. That's never cool no matter situation and especially stupid over fucking cartoon characters.
You. You get me.
You're right and you should say it. I wish I could like the ship more but I too am just drained by all the constant drama. I also use Twitter and on Twitter we had a massive drama over there several weeks back because several artists were pr0shippers and I'm already on the side of "I'm too tired and employed to be dealing with this" without this thrown into the mix. I'm tired. I'm done. This ship could've been cute but half the time, the ship is yelling at me so I'd rather not engage.
When I heard that this drama was (supposed) caused by one singular 14 year old posting in the tags, I let out the biggest sigh because like. I'm sorry. 14 year olds are going to say dumb crap in the tags sometimes. The other word for "minor" is "kid". This is a child we're fighting about. We are sharing a space with children because that's how websites be and we need to learn not to fight with actual kids.
Instead of once more stirring the pot and making people who don't like the ship but are quiet about it uncomfortable by once more stirring the "let's debate the age gap and why it shouldn't matter" pot, what should've been done is a "hey don't engage with this user, they're saying stupid stuff in the tags" and move on, because at the end of the day, yes age gaps even between two adults will squick some people out and we should respect that some person heard the "I watched you when I was a tadpole!" line and went "nope". Some people's yuck is another person's yum, as they said ten years ago. Maybe.
In short, this could've been handled way better than flooding the damn tag with arguing. Let's just block/mute and move on.

Current Tag Game
Tagged by @twig-tea
Current Time: 20:33
Current activity: winding down, tumblr
Currently thinking about: whether to try and catch up on more shows, work on subs, or actually spend time with people in brickspace.
Current favourite song: idk about favourite, but แน่ใจไหม (Are you sure) by Nont Tanont is once again living in my head rent-free.
Currently reading: [redacted] for beta work, also re-reading several older favourites from CQL/MDZS fandom and Bad Buddy. Also a lot of [also redacted] stuff for work.
Currently watching: suddenly a lot of Japanese shows? most of which are ending this week or next, alas. As @twig-tea said: lol here we go (in no particular order but semi-ranked in terms of how much space they are taking up in my brain?):
Won't get through to you (kiminai): I just watched the first episode because I wanted to see what that one new Japanese show was. Next thing I knew, I was first cleaning up terrible machine-translated subs, then (as of ep 4) translating from scratch. The show … it's nothing special, but it hits a LOT of right notes for me – I love the main characters, but also the supporting cast. All of them.
If it's with you (narakoi): cute, easy to watch, I love Ryuuji and the overall family dynamics and respect Amane's directness a lot. I also love the setting of this one.
One Room Angel: love the banter and Kouki's done-with-everything deadpan.
What Did You Eat Yesterday? (nanitabe): incredibly comforting to watch still. I do have moments of second-hand embarrassment with the occasional comedy scene, but overall, this is just peak. Food, grown adult protagonists, slice of life -- what's not to love?
I'm slightly (or extremely) behind on these shows, but consider them "currently watching" as they're not purposely on hold (Japanese is just easier on the brain atm):
I feel you linger in the air (currently 2 eps behind)
Love in Translation (1 ep behind)
Only Friends (…6? 7? eps behind)
Current favourite character: probably Kiminai's Hosaka Yui. He's SO DONE with his classmates' antics and still tries to be supportive to the best of his ability, but he'd never admit it. King behaviour.
Current WIP: subs for kiminai ep 7, tons of work stuff, some bits and bobs.
