Nice on Hamilton! Glad you got to see it.
Speaking of which, which characters do you think are each RO's favorite?
And which one is yours? (Mine is the king because while he's not a central villain, per se, he looms over everything as a huge threat, like a sun over the solar system. Far away and removed, but very much having a pull on everything)
Ooh I love this question and I'm so sorry it took me a while to get to (ironically it's always the ones that get me intrigued that have the most reply lag!)
So, I think Rayyan's got to go with Hamilton for obvious reasons (young, scrappy and hungry and bent on taking their shot... also a little proud and hot headed! Though I think while they would relate to being an underdog, I think Rayyan would be more than aware of Hamilton's flaws e.g. unwillingness to sacrifice anything for their dreams -- the way Hamilton seems to be satisfied... and perhaps make them reflect about their own shortcomings.)
As for Tobin, again I think Eliza is a natural fit- her quiet steadfast loyalty, her warmth, her strength that endures even in the face of adversity (read: bullshit husband behavior), occasional spiciness (they dont take shit lying down, see that song: im writing myself out of the narrative). Of all of the ROs I can also most see Tobin living a long illustrious life and setting up an orphanage.
For Sam, I can't decide! I could see a cross between and Lafayette for just being FUN as heck and a GREAT friend and Angelica (for her hidden depths and selflessness in giving Hamilton up for her sister).
For G, I can't see them actually LIKING any of the characters (I like Hamilton but I actually don't think it does a great job with its women characters--you can fight me on that) and the men are intentionally very flawed. I do think they'd understanding Aaron Burr to a certain degree (though I think they wouldn't quite approve of his self-victimizing/self-pitying antics.) BUT I can see them agreeing with Burr's reasons for disliking Hamilton.) As a gaffe, I could definitely see G's fave being the King.

CRYING AND SCREAMING...
10k hits??? I'm going to actually explode
This is my second fic to get this popular, but it took months after finishing it for the blonde dazai au to get anywhere near this
Considering the soulmate au is still ongoing, this is absolutely insane
I'm so grateful to everyone who's been reading, this really did start off as a self indulgent idea that I wasn't sure I was ever going to follow through with and now I have actual friends so :D crazy what fanfic can get you huh
I don't know if this is actually as big of a deal as I'm making it, but I'm so happy and so glad that people have been liking it as much as they have

“Do you know how tiring it is to have to reforge a bond every single time I change hands? Maybe being the Gem of Intelligence means I have to deal with so many egotistical mongrels one after the other with no breaks in between, and maybe you’re the first to actually treat me like a person!”
Felt like doing something funky for the one year anniversary of @maldito-arbol ‘s fic Ill Be Your Best Friend, second in the Were Just Human series!
Ive done this comic before but i thought it would be fun to do it a second time to compare and its such a good scene overall so. Its crazy that its been a year, it both feels like too long and not long enough. Im so glad i decided to read this series it is so good the writing is amazing and the characters are all so complicated and interesting, and of course all the people I’ve met and become friends with because of it! so i just wanna say thanks Mal, for deciding to write this i guess, this fic has been amazing it was a wonderful thing to look forward to every second Friday and its crazy to think i could have easily never met you or anyone else in the server or not if it hadn’t been for this series. So thanks and i hope this comic shows even a bit of my appreciation for you and your fic
And to anyone who hasn’t read the series, you should!! I Love fic 1 Marcy’s unreliable narrator and her mumbling habit keeping me on my toes trying to keep track of everything. The girls’ powers and the introduction to the gems and everything that happens with that is just *chefs kiss* amazing, and don’t even get me Started on fic 3 i cant even say anything without spoiling! So if you haven’t read it, go read it! Its such a good series and the writing and characters are incredible and agh! And if you have read it, read it again i don’t care its so good i could re-read it endlessly

old town road for @1dcountryfest
harry/lil nas x | all audiences | cottagecore au | retired art teacher harry | retired barber montero | 5k | non-binary harry
“Yeah,” Lily confirmed, pointing at the little stalk connecting the chrysalis to the tree branch. “They eat a bunch and then they curl up in these,” she explained, “like a little worm in a blanket.”
Hannah glanced at Harry, her awed expression widening, and he nodded eagerly back at her.
“Worm in a blanket,” she hummed, eyebrows raised.
“And then,” Lily continued, gesturing, “they sleep for a bit and when they wake up and come out of the blanket, they look a little different than they used to. All pretty and shiny. But they’re still the same bug from before.”
Harry rested a gentle hand on Hannah’s shoulder as she gazed at the cocoon in wonder.
“Is that why you have a butterfly on your tummy?”
or, montero’s new in town and harry’s taking his grandkids out for a trip to the arboretum. loosely inspired by old town road. a day in the life for an upcoming cottagecore au

just wanna say that previously i really didnt know how annoying "x reader" posts were probably bc i never usually stumbled upon them in the kazuya tag but now i am starting. to understand why there is hate on them once i stepped into a popular tag so i get it now 👍LMAOOOO
these fucking things are a plague in ANY major tag of a franchise somehow and its always the same thing: obnoxious length with no read more, every tag under the sun EXCEPT a general x reader one which would make filtering easier for everyone else, and always some fun mischaracterization of the character involved but thats just the nature of it
Speaking of the nature of x reader, some people are annoyed by them bc they clog the tags, but I, myself fucking hate the mere concept of it bc 1) characters dont exist in a vaccum, if you remove them from the story theyre from whats the fucking point. where's the flavor outside of some vague aesthetic attraction. like that one post once said, what's y/n's narrative significance? what about the other characters? and why dont they show up in the story if they're so important to be (usually) the character's love interest? Which leads to 2) the character is ALWAYS going to be some degree of being uncomfortably (to me, canon enjoyer) OOC. and 3) either the author has the absolute confidence to think they can characterize my favorite character AND ME (IM the reader in this scenario last I checked) correctly, or its just personal projection that they then slap a generic x reader and y/n on top to reach max audience, and I dont like the lack of self-awareness
