happy 1 year of r&r :)

i know it's a lil cringe to like. celebrate the birthday of a series on ao3 but r&r is literally my child. my baby. i birthed this series. and you all signed up for this when u started reading my fics thank u

soooooooo thank u guys for all the support i've received over r&r i know it's hard to stay a consistent reader when my posting schedule is entirely non existent but i am so grateful for everyone who's stuck around this long and been with me for this journey (calling it a journey because a year ago i did not have any sort of overarching plot in mind and now we're 17? 18? fics deep and so many things have happened and i'm usually just as surprised as my readers) it's rlly u guys that have kept me going this long

ANYWAY. i rewrote this like 500 times cause i hate being like. overly sappy on this account because it's way funnier to act like a celebrity with a huge ego, but real talk i am so proud of everything i've done w this series & what it's become in the past year

i've been posting my writing online since i was like 10, so we're going on almost 9 years now and i don't think i've ever ever ever received as much support for something as i have for r&r and something about that is soooo special to me??? idk it's just so nice to see a completely self indulgent series become so loved by others, especially since the only other fics i had up before gmm&m were a little more on the "i'm gonna write what seems popular right now" side???

like shoutout to everyone who was here before/around when i started the series because my account was so empty like. 2 fics and one gets updated every 6 months. r&r pulled me out of the trench i fear. it also cured me of my very horrible disease that makes me delete all my fics after 9 months and then completely disappear from a fandom so everyone say thank you r&r

but yeah idk where i'm going with this i'm very grateful for r&r and all the friends i've made and people i've met through it because i was very lonely before i rejoined tumblr and r&r was like. 90% of the reason i made my account

AND SPEAKING OF FRIENDS. thank u to

@spidergrotto & @sapoteylx for being the first ppl i met on here to openly talk about and support r&r which i thought was so so cool even if you guys have become my haters in the past few months i've known you :/ thank u r&r nation u keep me humble and miserable (and i am very thankful for our friendship i think some aspects of r&r would be very different if we'd never met)

& ao3 user classactical because you've been here since like. a month or two into the series i think and i always always always look forward to your comments because i feel like if you comment, i did a good job on the fic LOL thank u for sticking around for so long, even if ao3 has been actively working against you for a whiiiiile

there's a lot more i want to say and a lot of people i want to mention but that would take a very long time and i always feel weird tagging a lot of people in posts so just know if u read r&r we are kissing rn. or high fiving idk whatever floats ur boat i guess

but yeah anyway tl:dr happy birthday r&r i'm very proud of this series & very thankful for everyone who has read any part of it ever u guys are so cool and hot and have amazing taste and i'm taking your kudos and bookmarks etc. as you swearing your allegiance to me and promising me your undying support no matter what (legally binding btw) thank u guys

#r&r tease #ough i cannot believe r&r is a year old #happy birthday r&r you are my favorite child #gonna go post that fic now #or in like 10 minutes #idk i haven't edited anything #stay tuned

[doodleodds]

Me? Uploading a Halloween comic on November 18th, almost four whole-ass weeks late???? Yeah that’s uh. yup. yeah

Thanks for reading! :) <3

#persona 5 #p5 #akira kurusu #OUGH OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY. DONE. I AM LOSING MY MIND #if you've been following me for long enough: yes! this IS in fact the comic i mentioned that i was making last year. #Fun fact! This is also! The Third Draft of said comic!!! i have redrawn this thing THREE FUCKING TIMES #as a result you may notice that i uh. a) gave up on coloring this thing. no way in HELL am i coloring 30 pages. im not...strong enough #you will settle for simply having monochrome colored panels and you will LIKE IT!!!!! >:OOOOO #and b) gave up on backgrounds! yeah fuck that lmao. i am never drawing people in the monabus again and mementos can kiss my ass!!!!! #i just want to draw my silly little characters & not their environments #and you may also say: sophia. by halloween they are already in Sae's palace. why isn't goro with them and where's haru? #and to that i say shhhh suspend your disbelief. akechi is in mementos carving pumpkins to avoid trick or treaters. #and also haru isn't there because i cannot draw 6+ people in a cramped space yet!!! my art skills are Just Not There Quite Yet :( #so she's staying home and handing out fullsized candy bars to kids. that's where she is while this is all going down #'does akira know it's akechi down there?' :) that's up to you! but i WILL say that I was thinking about Akeshu when i wrote this so. :)))) #ANYWAY if you read this far in the tags im so sorry lmao. thanks for sticking around! Hope you had a happy halloween :) #hopefully i won't disappear for long this time. idk im just gonna start uploading other bullshit art in the interim between comics i guess #probably some fire emblem shit. we'll see. we'll see. anyway bye!! till next time!

i dont think i will ever be over nandor tying guillermos cape with such care and focus. that moment its possibly my favourite from the finale NANDOR ACTS OF SERVICE GUY MAKES ME WANNA CLIMB A WALL and the way hes putting guillermo on equal ground now makes my heart grow 3 sizes

and to be honest i dont think they can go back to where they were before. for anyone whos worried. like yeah he told him “now clean up the body” after he reverted back to human but to me that was more like nandors brain going like. “i cooked now you clean”. he went through such a tremendous amount of work to help guillermo. he had the empathy to recognise the problem. he thought it through concocted a plan. he got the robes and the candles and he painted and hung those banners. he held a fakeass ceremony with all their friends and elders so it looked official. he then also comforted guillermo when he couldnt do it and staked derek himself without a second thought. so maybe its was more of a. i pulled you out of a very hairy situation. can you take care of the body now? (also it IS gonna be hard to let go of certain habits so maybe some comments like this are gonna slip out next season, but that is just because they are useless and in guillermos absence the house fucking imploded in one year lmao… maybe guillermo is gonna teach them how to take care of it themselves next season so they can split the workload and cute shenanigans will ensue)

i just dont think it was mean spirited on nandors part tbh. LAZLO even offered to help. i dont think that was just to have him in the next scene i dont think an unusual detail like that could be just for convenience. i do FULLY believe they are gonna all be on equal grounds next season. and thats gonna be so fucking delicious to me specifically

#to see a nandor and guillermo dynamic where nandor has freed himself from the inibitions of a master familiar dynamic? sign me up #he was so fucking warm and caring after he forgave him and idk if i can handle it GOD I LOVE IT #nandermo #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #wwdits spoilers #comment #im making a post out of some of my tags in one of my queued posts bc i #want to put this thought out in the world #i saw a lot of people going now that guillermos human everythings back to the status quo!!! and im like #no the fuck i hope not!! their relationship has consistently moved in a new direction each season #familiar. bodyguard. best man. best friend. now they went through allllll the trouble of showing them having an equals relationship #they made nandor utter the words he will be living in this house as an equal from now on #and next season everythings gonna revert back?? i surely hope not #there is also to be considered from nandors standpoint that now guillermo truly has no more reason to stay. he really isnt a #familiar anymore because he presumably doesnt want to be a vampire anymore (?) so he has to consider #if he wants guillermo to stick around. its gonna have to be out of the love he has for them. and nandor needs to give him an incentive #which would be equal grounds with the vampires even though he isnt one #and guillermo is probably gonna be in such an existential crisis mode that hes not even gonna notice all the cute things nandor is doing #for him now for a WHILE. until he does and thats gonna be delicious #anyway. why do i keep making excellent points in the tags this could have been a post

lizzie get two wolves 👍

#strato.txt #oil painting #wip #im worried ive unbalanced the composition w the second one on the right tho... its so much closer to the edge #ugh whatever. aunt lizzie is the focus here #i wish i knew what she actually looked like this is just cobbled together from general features of my family #solid build... dark curly hair... bigass ears. she could be one of my cousins. she could be me #ok rq im gonna lay out the story in the tags for anyone who hasnt seen the previous lizzie art #my great-something aunt lizzie was disabled and couldnt walk very well and she died young #she wanted to see the second floor of the farm house real bad but no one ever carried her up there and she died before seeing it #they buried her in a long white dress somewhere down at the creek. we dont know where her graves lost unfortunately #the night she was buried something wearing a white dress walked into the house and up the stairs and disappeared #and sometimes you can hear her down around the creek screaming #somewhere along the line wolves got mixed into the imagery for me #my uncle told me a story about another 'white thing' that was wolfish and would jump on cars #so i just assumed lizzie was a werewolf my whole life #anyways. i think her staying after she died was a manifestation of her desire for autonomy. maybe #maybe if shed had modern accommodations she wouldnt have felt the need to stick around. or maybe she would have idk #either way i think death afforded her control over her own desires in a way she hadnt experienced before #and i think thats why she still hangs around the creek #i hope she would like this. maybe ill take it down there and leave it out for a night when its finished so she can see

netflix one piece live action feels a little like fanfic in that it makes sure it hits all the important notes but doesnt do all the work to make them hit which works in fic where the reader is supposed to bring all the emotional story investment from the original but doesnt work in a multi million adaptation that is supposed to be able to stand on its own or even serve as an intro to the series. it even does this in service to have more koby and helmeppo gay moments in this essay i w

#one piece #opla #the fleshing out of koby and helmeppo is like honestly good its a beacon of light its truly really fun #and all the actors are great it is just what they are given . #they didnt let nami do any real betraying. they didnt even have her steal the merry!! she just stole the map that they added in!!!! #ddont get me started on the gutting of sanjis intro. i dont give a shit about if don krieg appears or not i need to see this guy fuckin #feed the hand thats about to kill him im going to start shaking like a dog. #im almost madder krieg appeared for just a little id rather have that time be used for. anything else really. #like have one of arlongs guys starved half to death when they get to arlong park!or idk anything! no gin appears look its gin! you know him #sanji doesnt even get to beat the shit out of a shitty guest. like i guess he does a little but it feels so blink and you miss it #+the first like two eps were good!! buggys great hes scary and weird and fun. i dont mind that he sticks around longer in theory #but the way he is comedic relief instead of basically every character having funny bits is like. ahghhhgggg. its a symptom of this really #mean and edgy feeling the whole thing has. like the removal of people missing usopps pirate calling :( and how cocoyashi didnt know #nami was working to help them. like p. please. can we have caring and bonds in this world?? trust and love??? #anyway. sorry for having expectations of a netflix show im so close to putting this into a more proper form rather than tags. just to get i #all out of my system cause fuck man. #anyway solid 7/10 not as bad as it couldve been

im kinda sad that because transformers decided arcee is the most recognizable girl she needs to be added to line ups of classic g1 characters, meaning she doesnt get to hang out with her actual friends anymore. i genuinely dont get why things didnt just start adding elita 1 instead

and like no matter what you do her design is supposed to match up w the futuristic cybertronian aesthetic of the movie group. she looks way better standing next to kup and hot rod than she does standing next to optimus and bumblebee, if that makes sense. cuz theyre all pastel and rounded like her, meanwhile all the older characters are blocky and darker primary colours, making her look way more "this is the girl", yknow what i mean?

but i guess if we just keep her name as arcee and rip everything else she was away from her cuz she has the most marketable name who cares? idk

#i should be tagging my tf posts probably lmao #im not tryina be a 'things should always be like this' person i just think its weird that ONLY arcee gets to stick around #and it comes as like a detriment to her own history? makes people think she looks worse than she does? idk #and this is small potatoes but her name is ARCEE like an RC car right? and shes not a car anymore? #thats weird #also wheres my girl chromia been i miss her she was fun #the tf binge thoughts

you know if crush anons are actually interested they will just come back when they feel like it and you dont have to make all of your posts about romance.

I was about to go to bed but I can take a sec .

Yes ?? I'm very aware of this ??? But I enjoy talking about romance , even outside of trying to fish for compliments (which I'll admit I do, but nawt all the time) . Fantasizing about having a relationship brings me comfort and that's something I can't help , and is literally harmless .

I am very aware I can't like,, force others to wanna date me via posting about how baaaadly I want a partner or whatever . And that isn't what I'm trying to do . It'll happen when it happens , but for now I just find it calming in a way to post about what could be in the future . So . Yeahh idk thanks for telling me stuff I already know anon ?? What kind of reply were you expecting here

#➳ the fool's mail box #➳ sender; anonymous #also like i know i talk about it a lot but nawt all my posts r about romance ?? n that isn't the only thing on my mind #i just don't post every single thing that i do or think of . so . yeah ?? boo hoo i enjoy talking abt love n being admired #send me to the gallows guys how dare i omg 😢😢😢😢😢 #idk whether to tag this as anon hate or not but i am not too fond of the tone used towards me in this #also sorry i don't know if you lack the ability to read but i literally mentioned if the crush anons are sincere #and genune they'll stick around . fucking hell .e #* genuine . and other typos it's too late for this shit #learn to read before sending me a passive aggressive ass ask when I'm trying to sleep #haha oopsies 😚😚 what did i say that i meant Oh You Silly Bean !! Silly Little Thing !! actually no i stand by what i said . #go piss on the poor and let me sleep

I love the differences in energy each protagonist has with their group

Like in the first one makoto is just. everyone’s guy. That’s makoto, our guy. He’s just vibing let’s drag him on misadventures

Compared with v2 where everyone is madly in love with a very tired hajime

#love love love the energy #both of these protagonists are my beloved #makoto is the guy that everyone drags around #little fella #and then v2 pulls up with every character either platonically or romantically in love with hajime #like that’s fucking HAJIME man have you met this guy #and both fit their group’s energy perfect #like if danganronpa got one thing right it was the protagonists #does this make any sense?? #idk #I’m bad with words #anyways I adore both makoto and hajime can you tell <3 #danganronpa #super danganronpa goodbye despair #goodbye despair #trigger happy havoc #danganronpa trigger happy havoc #makoto naegi #hajime hinata #fuck it I’ll stick this in the main tags

Louis Birthday Tag Game 🎉

thank you @faithinlouisfuture for tagging me 😽😽😽🫶🏼 mwuah!

when did you become a louie?

i don't exactly know when bc i remember for the longest time denying to stan louis (or anyone for that matter) 😭 but late feb (completely missed the defenceless project bc i didn't have twitter then lol) to april of 2021 i think... february being like, oh this guy from one direction is neat i really like his music and april being, wow i have fallen in hell in love with louis tomlinson he is the only man ever

your earliest fandom memory?

WELL, on tumblr, i remember long hair louis with a guitar walking through an airport trended. immediately after he posted the rockstar pic (april 10) of him on instagram 🙏🏽 AND THEN, as a twitter user... this is so cursed but #iheartawards #louies #bestfanarmy 2021 😭 i think i once told myself i'd only keep up with louis on tumblr but not on twitter,, but because i already made a twitter account in april (solely for voting), it just stuck and thus, after iheart voting ended, my stan twitter account was born lol

your favourite song (one off walls, one off fitf)?

i tend to pick two favorites so for walls it's fearless and only the brave and for fitf, all this time and lucky again

your favourite music video?

walls <3 and miss you when im feeling silly hehe

favourite gig?

ltwt manila 2022 😔😔😔😔😔😔🫶🏼 it meant the world to me 😭 louis was so happy and the crowd energy was so good. i don't know if anyone went live for my show but believe me when i say it was loudddd sksks louis was chatty and smiley and interactive and of course so so pretty. vocals were on point i could actually cry recalling the memories of him singing but Ugh it was 😔🫶🏼 those couple of hours were one of the best times of my life for real not even joking

favourite louis hair?

i love when louis' hair is on the longer side, live from london, walls hair or fitf but a bit longer, actual long hair louis Unstyled (now imagine how he'd look if it were styled), afhf hair of course like his hair in the documentary with him sitting and talking wearing his favorite black sabbath shirt And his hair wearing the iconic first ever 28op shirt. basically! long hair OR fluffy and messy <3

favourite louis interview?

the zach sang interviews and his interviews with olivia jones for total access

suit louis or tank top louis?

Marks, or Dots, or Spots

Very small OC drabble!! This takes place in a first contact AU, though that’s not terribly important to the drabble. Amelia is human, T’Mira is vulcan, and I’m so normal about them.

cw for vague mention of drug use

Objectively, T’Mira was beautiful. Amelia couldn’t help noticing it— she looked like one of those runway models, someone you would see on an old magazine. All harsh lines and subtle grace, not a single hair on her head out of place.

Two small moles lined T’Mira’s face; one near her left eye, the other by the right side of her mouth. Laid haphazardly on her own bed, Amelia honed in on those marks, study material long abandoned on the floor.

T’Mira must’ve noticed the staring by now, but kept her focus firmly on her tablet. In tune with the changing of a new song, Amelia ever-so slowly reached a hand out. She watched, intent, for even a minute sign that the other girl would turn away. When T’Mira didn’t even flinch, the tip of a tapered ear only giving a small swivel, Amelia pressed the tip of her finger to the mole under T’Mira’s eye. Her skin was cold, colder than expected.

T’Mira startled for only a moment, blinking rapidly before staring at Amelia from the side of her eyes. She only raised an eyebrow, waiting for an explanation.

“You know what we call these on earth?” T’Mira blinked, again, brows almost creasing. Amelia let a wide smile spread across her face. She loved it when T’Mira brow got that cute little crease. “Beauty marks.”

That time, T’Mira really startled, the tips of her ears flushing an almost green. She turned to Amelia fully, not once disturbing the hand. “I. I do not see the use in calling them anything but what they are— moles. They do not inherently make one more or less aesthetically-“

“My grandma used to call em’ ‘kisses from god’. I’ve heard people say they’re where you were kissed most in your past life.”

“I believe not in reincarnation, nor in a higher power.” Despite the clipped tone, T’Mira made no move to remove her hand. Humming, Amelia trailed the digit down T’Mira face, slowly creeping to the mark near the vulcan’s lip.

It was only then, with the skip of her red heart, that Amelia realized she had yet to tell T’Mira how humans kiss.

“Neither do I.” Her tone was nonchalant, casual, as she dared to inch her finger a bit higher. Just under the corner of T’Mira’s lip, a whisper away from truly touching. Those eyes, those dark, black eyes, stared into Amelia, seeming almost hazy around the edges. Amelia could only smile. “Doesn’t make em’ any less cute.”

T’Mira really did turn her head after that, busying herself with reading whatever the Vuhlkansu on her tablet said. Amelia let her hand fall with the motion, and yet, she truly didn’t mind. In the moment, she was far more entertained with watching T’Mira’s ear flick once, twice, thrice. She was blushing, still.

Giving up on trying to steal T’Mira’s attention for what must’ve been the 5th time that hour, Amelia flopped back on the bed. With an obnoxious stretch, she grunted, then sighed, almost peevish from boredom. The Vulcans didn’t have much for entertainment, at least, not much that Amelia could yet understand. The shoddy translator worked well enough, sure, but she couldn’t read or write Vuhlkansu for shit. She didn’t see the point of watching Vulcan media without T’Mira there to explain the context, and Amelia was hardly going to force her from whatever book she was reading. Kal-toh evaded her still, to the point Amelia had nearly given up trying. The various forms and genres of Vulcan music she’d been exposed to were balms, yes, endlessly fascinating, and she was immensely grateful for them— but, fuck— Amelia needed something to do.

Not to mention, alongside all that, her cart was far past saving. Amelia flung an arm over her eyes, almost starfished on the bed, and accepted her fate of doing absolutely nothing for the next few hours. Maybe she’d get a nap in.

“Your-“ Amelia perked up at that, T’Mira’s voice breaking past the hum of whichever Vulcan folk song was playing. “Your spots.”

“My ‘spots’? You mean my freckles?” Amelia sounded fond, terribly fond. Teasing, too, but that was to be expected from her.

“‘Freckles’… yes, your freckles. They are, well, they are quite,” Amelia didn’t move her eyes from the back of T’Mira’s head, from that elaborate, braided up-do. Gems that looked like pearls were spaced intermittently throughout T’Mira’s straight, black locks, twirled within big and small braids alike. There was an itch in Amelia’s fingers. Did Vulcan hair feel the same as a Human’s? “Quite-“

T’Mira’s shoulders were ramrod, as tense and awkward as the girl’s posture. As if she slouched for even a moment, her spine would simply snap. In some ways, T’Mira’s anxious nature is what drew Amelia to her. It certainly made her more approachable, compared to the dead-eyed stares she got from a good portion of her alien hosts. “Quite aesthetically-”

God, Amelia had gone off in her own head again, hadn’t she? Christ, what had they been talking about again? Freckles, right? T’Mira was talking about human spots, and moles, and aesthetics, which, really, could only go one way-

“Aesthetically pleasing.”

Huh. Amelia hadn’t been expected that.

“Oh, really, you’re too sweet.” T’Mira opened her mouth to combat that, obviously about to make a comment about carbohydrates and how she had no similarities with them, but Amelia placed a hand on her back to stop her. Cold, even through the clothes. “They’re fine, I guess, but thank you. I’ll always take a compliment, especially if it’s from you.”

T’Mira stayed quiet. Amelia kept her hand there, small against the expanse of T’Mira’s  elaborate robes. As the song changed again, a familiar sense of recklessness phased through Amelia, and with it, she pushed herself up off the mattress. Turning— fuzzy, human styled socks hitting the wall— Amelia rested her back against T’Mira’s, and pushed herself closer. T’Mira was cold, sure, but, eh. The ship was entirely too warm anyways.

Amelia nuzzled herself into T’Mira, closing her eyes, and let her head hit the other girl’s shoulder. T’Mira didn’t move.

T’Mira didn’t move till hours later, when Amelia had stirred from her odd human nap, with her odd human dreams. She didn’t move till Amelia had blinked the sleep from her eyes, yawning that odd human yawn, and blearily asked T’Mira what time it was. How alien, how weird. And yet-

T’Mira hadn’t moved. No, she hadn’t moved, not once, not at all.

this is an older queer couple!!! 2 men who were alive during the AIDS epidemic then found each other during the apocalypse in a year before gay marriage was even legal in the US

they both play the piano but Bill is better!!, Frank surprised Bill with (rare) strawberries in the middle of an apocalypse just because he wanted to!!, they both are crafty with tools and the street is their home too they have to make it look nice for when they have friends!!!, Frank pulls Bill out of his shadow!!!!, Bill cooks for them and Frank paints his partner!!!!, they've saved each others lives!!!, "i was never afraid till i met you" "i've had more good days with you then anyone else" and they're together for 20 years and they met when Frank accidentally fell into one of the traps, and they get married!!!! and then they

#last of us #the last of us #bill and frank #idk what else to tag this but seriously the chokehold these two men have on me #the last of us spoilers #spoilers #and then they both just wanted to fall asleep in each others arms and that's how it would end #and 'whose the girl' 'there's no girl' 'i know' #screaming #crying #throwing up #i can't actually #the things that seeing this couple has done to me #tlou #tlou spoilers #tlou hbo #you don't understand the hold this has on me #HE WAS ONLY GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN I WAS 20 YEARS IM SOBBING
