#inspo was that my little monster manga
cerberusmahou · 5 days
Note
could you share your art inspo?
I assume you mean where my artstyle comes from? If this is what you mean, i'd say it's mainly from these:
Tumblr media
Mayumi Azuma (Erementar Gerad)
Spiderman comics (after Superior Spiderman, specially)
Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia)
Granblue Fantasy. I'd argue this is the biggest one because I've been playing for 7+ years.
Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Naoki Urasawa (all good, but I specially love Monster and Billy Bat)
Rumiko Takahashi (all good, but favourites are Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2)
Trigger Studio/GAINAX (specially the ones directed by Yoh Yoshinari and Hiroyuki Imaishi. My favourites are Little Witch Academia, Kill La Kill, Promare, FLCL, Panty & Stocking, Re:Cutie Honey, Evangelion, Kare Kano and Otaku no Video. Tengen Toppa is still incredible in terms of animation but some characters haven't aged well for me.)
CLAMP (all good, but my favourites are Card Captor Sakura and Tokyo Babylon)
Ai Yazawa (all good, but my favourites are Nana and Paradise Kiss)
Honorofic mentions
Kamome Shirahama (Atelier of the Witch Hat)
Ace Attorney & Professor Layton games
Rurouni Kenshin. This was my favourite manga as a kid and I can't leave it out because it definitely shaped my style. However, for morals reasons, I cannot recommend this work. Feel free to google about the controversy.
Yuto Sano (Gokurakugai)
I also try to go to art exhibitions about any style, any theme and any artistic discipline at least twice a month. You don't have to spend a lot of money, I go to free or cheap ones myself. Mainly for motivation and mental health, but I'm sure I must learn something passively from diversifying.
The last ones I went to were Marc Chagall and Matteo Pugliese, and I loved both. I especially enjoy human sculpture because you can learn a lot of anatomy there.
Tumblr media
Hope it helps!

Hey! Firstly, I love your art so freaking much like AHHHH Secondly, I have a few questions if you don't mind... one, how do you come up with your drawing ideas especially AUs??? Cause I swear they're so freaking creative, fun, and also pretty true to the characters. Two, how did you get so good at anatomy? Like, I am obsessed with the way you draw bodies and faces (and hair and...) Anyways, hope you have a lovely day and thank you for all your creations!
hello !! thank you so much !! I'm happy to answer! (this might be long)
For AUs, honestly a lot of them are spur of the moment things. Specifically IT!deku is something I came up with like 2 seconds after someone tried to scam me lmao. I was taking with a friend about it who suggested that the scammer and I should fall in love, and the bkdk gremlin that lives in my brain ran with it (The friend's also the one that came up with 'scammers to lovers')
A lot of my other AUs I do in a similar fashion to that, talking with friends about things or taking inspo from the world around me. The witch stuff was super inspired by Witch Hat Atelier! (the clothing and drapery in the manga are so breathtaking, I recommend everyone read it, it's a gorgeous series and the story is awesome)
I have a boat load more of AUs tbh, a lot of them are just me putting my favourite little guys into other series like Soul Eater, Madoka Magica,,,, Monsters Inc.
TLDR; just take whatever you see in front of you and make it bkdk (or whatever you're interested in)
As for anatomy, some of the things that really helped me are life-drawing and analyzing animation and dynamic posing!
I'd recommend anyone that wants to get better at drawing the human figure to go to a life drawing session, I have since I was like 15 lmao and it really helped with my understanding of the human figure!
Having someone real in front of you instead of photos is incredibly beneficial, but if you can't afford/don't have anywhere like that near you, there's sites online that share videos of life drawing sessions! Croquis cafe is one that I know, but I believe they only share videos through patreon now.
There's also tons of books online about figure drawing ! I've got a few posing and anatomy books of my own, I'd recommend Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton (here's a pdf) as a starting place along with Morpho: Anatomy for Artists by Michel Lauricella
I also think studying from other artist's is incredibly important !! From old masters to artbooks from films to people online, everyone draws the human figure a little different and seeing how other artists have broken down and simplified the shapes and proportions of the body is super helpful ! Don't be afraid to study artists and their styles, cause it'll only serve to elevate your own !
Hope this helps!!

guysss i was a little silly and goofy so i decieded to fix up this one LEQ i wrote to study for my apush test and post it on Ao3... 😭😭
there are like 3 lines in it which i think absolutely slay and the rest is lowkey hot garbage that only a mind running on tylenol, sips from a friend's pink monster drink, and school pizza could conjure up
ahhhh!!! but i did go totally crazy when writing this because most of my inspo came from the fact that i was assigned to research draft resistance and i was like GRIFF!! MY BOY!!! THIS WAS HIS ERA!!! haskdjahskajd

Conversation
Tony: guess which kid got in trouble today.
Stephen: *sighs* what did Harley do this time?
Tony: actually it was Peter. He apparently thought it was a fantastic idea to smuggle a couple ducklings into class.
Stephen: ...how did he do that?
Tony: he put them in his shirt. Then when they started making noises he told his teacher and I’m quoting this, “that he was gassy”.
Stephen: points for creativity I guess.

suki’s restaurant is now CLOSED! please read updates after the “keep reading” tab!
thank you for the milestone! it’s really such a huge gift to me since i just started posting jjk content here ten days ago (◕ᴗ◕✿) as a small token of appreciation, all requests are now open and there’s a variety of ingredients you can choose from!
masterlist !
Tumblr media
meal guides:
🥞 breakfast - fics longer than 1k word counts
🍙 lunch (headcanons)
🍷 wine (nsfw content)
🍰 snack (timestamps, imagines & drabbles)
🍌 thirsts (ramble with me about our smexy thoughts!) for the brainrots
Tumblr media
PLEASE READ:
— this event is officially closed. my asks are only open for the previous anons who i’ve asked to do a redo for any mistakes/restrictions in their previous orders.
— new requests will no longer be accepted. or maybe it will because i’m easily swayed with great ideas but it will no longer be part of the milestone event.
— my writing schedule is only during wednesdays, fridays, and the weekends. some works will be written in advance and scheduled to post daily (if possible.)
— please be patient! as you can see, i’ve got a lot of requests, and i really want your meals to be as pleasing and delicious as possible, so please please be patient. i’m training for med school and i’ve got other responsibilities too. if you want to decline a request if you can’t wait for it, that’s fine. 
— i’m human so...my mind can change any minute, and i could no longer be interested in a certain idea. if that happens, i’ll reply to your ask that i won’t be serving your meal anymore even if it’s here on the list below. it sounds kind of rude, but i wouldn’t want to write something i’m not interested in for the sake of pleasing others, because if i write something i don’t enjoy/am not that interested in anymore, then the meal won’t turn out as good had i been passionate for it. it’s going to be done out of forced productivity and the food might taste bad :<
— the last batch of accepted meals will be marked as ✿
— favorites will be marked as ★. because they’re the ideas i find most interesting and the ones i adore the most, they will take longer to be completed. i really want to give my ultimate best on that and just UNLEASH everything i have in me.

✦ send me a song as a story inspo!

Tumblr media
restaraunt rules : please read!
— i do not write about yandere, stalker, pregnant! reader (unless it’s still until the early age where the belly is still small), non-con, and heavily canon requests 
— nsfw content i won’t write about: period sex, blood play, temperature play, pegging, male characters dressing up as female, monster fucking (sorry, sukuna won’t be getting four arms if you want nsfw for him), bestiality, incest, hypnosis (non-con related)
— not exactly a restriction, but please keep in mind that y/n is still a character for me as the writer. i may or may not add in features that even though isn’t explicit, could be something not suitable for everyone. phrases like, “he peered down at her” sounds neutral enough, but could still be implied that the reader is shorter than the anime character. it’s difficult to write a 100% neutral fic that won’t imply appearance one way or another. if i’ve written anything offensive/upsetting, feel free to tell me about it. i’ll do my best to keep it neutral.
— the reader will always be female bodied in nsfw content
— please be patient! i want to write fics the requester enjoys so i’m going to take my time in preparing your meal!
— i may or may not cook your meal 100% according to your request. depending on my comfort upon the idea, i may have to tweak a detail or two.
— i can refuse your request if i don’t want to write about it for personal or other reasons. i’ll let you know beforehand.
— wine will take longer to be served!
— i will announce if a trope/au/character is no longer open for requests. i feel like some ingredients will be quite common amongst requesters and i don’t want to write for the same thing over and over again. same goes in the manner that if you have a similar request to another, it’ll be fused into one idea/meal.
— if your request contains offensive/uncomfortable content, i won’t even respond back to you. i’ll immediately delete your ask.
— if you still don’t get or are confused by the guides, send me an ask! i’ll happily guide you!
— this event is now closed. i will temporarily be closing my ask box so i don’t get flooded. i’ll open it again tonight for anyone who has questions or just want to drop a message!
Tumblr media
hmm...i’m still not sure how to order for my meal.
✧ what if the story/scenario i want isn’t included in the choices above?
— as i’ve stated, please feel free to request whatever you want! the choices are there to give people an idea what they’d like to see, but if it’s not there, you can still request for it as stated in the “send me an au/trope/kink you want!”
✧ what if i don’t have any ingredient, spice, or sugar i want but a song inspo anyway?
— that’s also fine, but it would be preferred if you’re descriptive so your meal could be delivered better and faster. in this case though, i’ll just have to get creative!
✧ what if i want more than one character in the request?
— having others included in the request is fine, but as much as possible, i can only write a maximum of two main characters (the reader excluded)
✧ what if i want to request for the ones you want to write for but you don’t think you can pull it off well?
— just a heads up! i would love to write for them, but because i’m not entirely caught up in the manga, the characters mentioned above aren’t ones i know very well yet. 
✧ not exactly regarding the meal, but i’ve sent you requests from last week. would you still be writing them?
— i’ve received several requests when my bio states that requests are closed. however, because the ideas are actually really precious and i know i’d have fun writing them, i’d still write about them. i just cannot guarantee you’ll receive your meal soon since my requests were closed when you sent them. 
Tumblr media
UPDATES:
Day One: breeding kink, size kink, thigh riding, married au, best friends to lovers is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Day Two: established relationship au, mutual pining, dumbification, and gojo satoru is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. to the asks that were received before this update, you may check on the requests accepted whether you made it to the cut or not. i’ll update this later. the restaurant will also reach out to you if one of your requested ingredients/spice/sugar/cherry on top did not make the cut. my asks are still open, so please tweak your requests a little bit to what is available! 
Day Two Update 2: Restaurant is CLOSED! spice 6 (somnophilia) is also no longer available! Check the requests accepted to see if you’ve made the cut, the latest and last accepted requests will be marked as ✿!

Legend of the Forgotten Moon Princess
[Part II] [Part II.5]
a/n; im following both the anime and the manga, i have hulu and the sailor moon viz dub [aka the better dub] on dvd. so i have a lot of material to get inspo from. this chapter is following the first chapter of sailor moon manga and a bit of the second..] 
so i made a mistake its 'Lunar Prism Power make up!' 
[ Y/n ] gasped, looking at herself in the outfit. "Wha! What just happened?" She shouted, looking at the outfit in shock. 
"This must be some dream." She says, as she looks down at the sailor outfit. A cat appears at her doorway, looking at her. "I finally found you!" The cat says, causing the girl to yelp and fall to the ground. 
"W-who's there!?" She shouts, looking around and gasps. Seeing a black cat, with white spots covering its fur. She backs away. 
"D-Did you just speak?" She asks, looking at the cat who simply nods, and jumps onto the counter beside her. The cat smiles at her, 
"My name is, Atlas. And I've been searching far and wide for you." He says, and [Y/n] looks at him in shock. THis was too weird, to be happening this must be a dream. 
"You have been chosen as a guardian, you have a duty! To gather, your allies and defeat your enemies. Also, you must discover the location of our Princesses." He says, and she bites her lip looking at him. 
"P-Princesses? Enemies? Guardian!? What on earth is happening!?" She cries, looking down into her hands. This was too crazy, to bizarre. 
Atlas sighs,  "Let me see that necklace." He asks, and she looks up at him. And takes it off, and places it in front of him. She watches, as the crescent moon shape on his forehead began to glow. And it touches, the necklace. Turning it into a brooch, she gasps looking at it. 
"Wow!" She says, in amazement looking at it. She takes it, and sticks it on. "Now call out the words; Lunar Prism Power Make-Up!" He says, and she looks at him thinking for a moment. And nods, she takes a deep breath in and says, 
"Lunar Prism Power Make-Up."  She shouts, and is developed by a light emitting from the brooch that was once her necklace. As she transforms, into Sailor Luna. 
"You're the Sailor Guardian, Sailor Luna. Your mission is to find the other Sailor Guardians alongside Sailor Moon, and find our lost princesses." He says, and she looks at him. She jumps, as she heard screams. 
"Quick, Sailor Moon needs your help!" He says, and she looks at him nervously. And nods, as she run out of her apartment, going to the source of the screams. 
"Waa~ I can't take this, I'm going home!" Sailor Moon shouted, as the monster attacks her. It was about to strike her, when. 
'Lunar Beam!'  She heard, someone shout. A bright beam attacks the monster,  it becomes dazed for a bit. 
"What was that!" The monster, growls looking around. 
"It's wrong to attack girls, now you have to deal with me." [Y/n] says, jumping down in between Sailor Moon and the monster. 
"And who are you?" The monster growls, and [Y/n] smiles, 
"I'm the Sailor Guardian, Sailor Luna. Who fights for the moon and the stars." She says, and the monster laughs. 
"Well die!" The monster shouts, attacking [Y/n] who dodges, Sailor Moon still on the ground crying. [Y/n] sees this, 
"Could, use a little help here!" She shouts, at her and Sailor Moon looks up at her scared. 
"B-But.." Sailor Moon whimpers, scared shaking. And she burst into tears, causing [Y/n] to groan, she gasps as the monster grabs her by the neck. She groans, as she tries to pull the monster's hands off of her neck. [Y/n] groaned, 
'Waxing Crescent!'  [Y/n] shouted, as she attacked the monster she falls to the ground gasping for air. She sighs, she stands up quickly. it grabs her, by the leg and throws her at the wall. She groans in pain, and gasps seeing that it was about to attack Sailor Moon. 
"Sailor Moon, look out!" [Y/n] shouted, then a rose came down in front of Sailor Moon and a figure appeared at the windshield. 
"Quit crying, It's your time to act! Now, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask, said to her and She looks at him, and [Y/n] looks at him in shock. 
"Now! Sailor Moon shout. Moon Tiara Action!" Luna shouts, at her and Sailor Moon now with new found confidence grabs the tiara at the top of her head, and shouts.  
'Moon Tiara Action!'  she shouts, it attacks the monster. And the monster fades away. 
[Y/n] stands up, groaning in pain. Wrapping her arm around her waist, she stands up and walks towards Sailor Moon.
"Good job!" [Y/n] says, to her but Sailor Moon wasn't listening she was more focused on Tuxedo Mask. As he leaves out the window, he looks back at the girls. As she looked at him,  it felt so familiar he seemed so familiar. She watches as he leaves, and looks down. She leaves, leaving Sailor Moon there looking around for her. 
Once she got further away, she hid behind a building and turned back into her normal clothes. And walked into her apartment complex, she made her way up to her apartment wincing every now and then at her now bruised side. 
As she walks towards her apartment, she trips and, and Mamoru who by coincidence, catches her in his arms. She groans, and looks up and gasps. Seeing Mamoru, she blushes, quickly pulls away embarrassed. She bows at him, "S-Sorry." She says, then walks pass him and towards her apartment. 
She enters, her apartment. And falls onto her couch she groans in pain, at the pain in her side. She lifts her shirt, and sees a bruise. She sighs, Atlas walks over towards her. 
"Why didn't you stay!? You and Sailor Moon need to work together." Atlas says, to her and she groans in annoyance. She looks, at him. 
"Ugh, give me a break. My life has changed forever. And, I can't just work with a girl who I don't know." She says, falling back onto the couch. She groans, in pain once more. 
"Eventually, don't worry I'll work with her just give me sometime to wrap my head around this." She says, yawning. As her eyelids, become heavier until they close. And she falls asleep, Atlas jumps up onto the couch. 
"Fine, but tomorrow we need to find out who she is." He says, as he lays next to her on the couch falling asleep as well. 
[ Flashback ] ' 
"M-Mommy?" [Y/n] cried, sniffling holding; her now destroyed Prince Endymion plush. [M/n] came around the corner, and gasped seeing her daughter standing there. With mud all over her face, and clothes. Her Endymion plush, ripped to shreds. 
"Oh, sweetie what happened?" She asked, walking over towards her daughter bending down to her level. Her daughter looked up at her, and whimpered. 
"T-they bullied me, they said that Y/n and Endymion aren't real. And that it's just some stupid story.." She cried, tears running down her cheeks. 
"I-I told them; That it is real, and Endymion and Y/n are real. And I was gonna prove it, a-and so they pushed me and called me a baby. A-and." She whimpered, showing her mother the destroyed plush.
"T-they hurt him! Mommy they hurt Endymion!" She sobbed, her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter picking her up not caring about getting mud on the floor, or getting mud on herself. She carried her up the stairs, and into the bathroom. 
"It's okay sweetie, those people are just jealous that they don't know the story. And for Endymion, don't worry I'll fix him up good as new." [M/n] says, taking Endymion from her daughter and placing him by the sink. She takes off her daughters clothes, and begins to wash her. 
"Mommy?'" {y/n] says, looking up at her mother, her face red and puffy. 
"Yes sweetie?" [M/n] says, and [Y/n] looks up at him.
[Y/n] looks down blushing, he mother chuckled. "Was there someone, who stood up for you?" She asks, and [Y/n] looks at her mother and blushes. 
"N-No.." [Y/n] says, nervously. Her mother giggles, as she scrubs her back. 
"What's their name?" She asks, [Y/n] looks up at her and looks down.
"M-Mamoru.." {y/n} says, blushing looking down making a pouty face. 
"Oh, Mamoru.. Maybe we should invite his family over for dinner." [m/n] says, causing y/n to shake her head. 
"Ah, but I'm sure the two of you would be cute." she says, and y/n splashed water in her mothers face causing her to stop talking she, looks at y/n. 
Who yelps, [M/n] then splashes water into her daughter's face, causing her to giggle and laugh. That was the day before, Mamoru lost his parents losing his memories in the process. 
[Y/n] never saw him, again after that. 
[ ended ] ......
[Y/n] sighed, as she ate breakfast, she sits at her table drinking some coffee. Atlas, walks over towards her and jumps up onto the table, 
"Today, we must find out the identity of Sailor Moon and work with her." He says, and she groans and rolls her eyes, setting her coffee back onto the table. 
"Atlas, listen to me. I still have things I need to do in the morning like today, I have to go to my university for school. Since I called off for today, being an assistant teacher. And I need to go grocery shopping, I'll try to fit in in okay." She says, taking a sip of her coffee.
She stands up, and yelps in pain as her side accidentally hits the table. She places her hand, on her side. And groans, Atlas looks at her worried. "Are you okay?" He asks, and she simply nods. 
"Yeah, just a bit scuffed up from last night." She says, looking down grabbing the dishes off the table and, putting on her shoes. And was about to leave her apartment, she hears that voice again. 
'You're the only one for me, my star.'  
She sighs, leaving the apartment leaving Atlas there alone. She walks down the hallway to the elevator, and sighs 
[Y/n} smiles, as she looks at Mamoru, "Yeah, my day to day life is always busy." She says, looking down, groaning a bit. She looks back up at him, "But, I do my best to work hard." She says, taking a sip of her drink. 
"I actually graduated high school, when I was 14."  She says, looking down nervously. 
"Wow really?" He asks, and she looks up at him and nods. 
"Yeah, a-after I lost my mom. I was a complete wreck, I was depressed. I was in an accident later, and lost most of my memory. I barely remembered my mom, and when I do remember her its, all false and jumbled up. So to not be a burden, I wanted to be left alone, so instead of talking to anyone. I dedicated myself to studying, I worked my butt off." She says,  looking down. 
"I'm sorry to hear that." He says, looking at her sadly and, she shakes her head. 
"N-No it's okay. I happened so long ago I really try not to remember much, about her cause.... When I do, I just.." She shakes her head, and smiles at Mamoru. 
"Nevermind." She says, sighing looking down at the ground, she then looks up and sees a crumpled up piece of paper hit Mamoru on the head. 
He grabs it, and looks up and sees Usagi. "Hey! You, Bun-head! i'm not a trash can you know." He says, to her and [Y/n] just stands there, trying to hold back her laughter.
"Ah! Ohh, you're that guy from before." Usagi says, in shock looking at him.
"Hello, Ms.Tsukino." [Y/n] says, to Usagi, who was holding a black cat, Luna. Who looked at the girl curiously, Usagi looks at [Y/n].
"O-oh, Ms.Y/n! I-I didn't see you at school today." Usagi says, to her. And [Y/n] simply smiles,
"Yeah, I-I wasn't feeling well, and I-I had personal issues to attend to but. But don't worry I'll be back tomorrow." [Y/n] says, smiling at her. 
"Wait, the two of you know each-other." Mamoru asks, and [Y/n] nods at him.
"Yep, I'm an assistant teacher in her class." She says, to him.  
"oh, that's good. Then Bun-head can get more help." He says, and  Usagi growls. [Y/n] chuckles, a bit at this. 
"My name! isn't bun-head." Usagi shouts, walking away mumbling to herself while holding onto Luna. 
"Usagi? Who was that girl?" Luna asks, looking up at her. Usagi looks down, at Luna. 
"Oh, that's the assistant teacher in my class. Her name is Y/n L/n." She says, as she walks towards the Crystal Seminar to investigate more about Ami. 
"Thanks for today, Mamoru I enjoyed talking to you." [Y/n] says, bowing at him. 
"your welcome, I'm happy I got to know a bit more about you." He says, causing her to look down and blush. She looks back towards her, university gate. 
"W-Well see you later." She says, as she walks into her university campus. 
[Time Skip] brought to you by laziness/ and sailor moon already finding sailor mercury cause my dumbass is too lazy to write it.... 
[Y/n] sighs, as she makes her way back home to her apartment. As she did, she felt as if someone was following her. So she turned around, and saw Usagi's cat following her. 
"Aren't you, Usagi's cat." She says, looking at it curiously she sees the crescent moon shape on its forehead as well. 
"Hmm, you have the same crescent moon shape that Atlas does." She says, curiously. She bends down, and gets a closer look at it. 
"If your Usagi's cat, and you have a crescent moon shape on your head. Then..." She gasps, thinking about it and putting two and two together. She looks down at the cat, 
"She must be Sailor Moon." She says, quietly. The cat looks at her in shock, and speaks. 
"You're smarter than I thought.." Luna says, and [Y/n] smiles at her and shrugs her shoulders. 
"Well, I guessed it wasn't that hard. To think about-..Wait..what is that supposed to mean!" She shouts, looking down at Luna. 
"Listen, we've already found Sailor Mercury, Ami Mizuno. And no we found you, Sailor Luna.. We must find the other Sailor Guardians and our lost princesses." Luna says, to Y/n who sighs and rolls her eyes. 
"I know, I know." She says, looking down. 
"We need all the help we can get." Luna says, to her and [Y/n] nods, sighing. 
"Alright, I'll help find the Sailor Guardians. After school tomorrow." She says, and Luna nods. Making her way, back to Usagi's house. [Y/n] sighs, and makes her way back home to her apartment. As she walks into the elevator, and bumps into the side bars. 
She yelps, in pain. "D-damn it, I forgot about that." She says, groaning placing her hand on her side. She pushes, the button for her level. And stands there, waiting for it to go up. Once she arrives, on her floor she steps off. And walks towards her apartment, but not of course before bumping into Mamoru. 
Causing her to groan, holding onto her still bruised side, He turns around and sees her holding her side. 
"Whoa, are you okay?" He asks, her and she looks up at him and nods. 
"Y-Yeah, I bumped into a corner in my apartment and it gave me a bruise. Don't worry I'm fine." She says, lying. It hurt like hell, she wasn't fine everytime she moved it hurt so much. She moves passed him, and towards her apartment. 
She walks in and throws, her bag onto the counter and sits on her couch. And groans, she looks down at the wound, that seemed to be getting worse and worse. It was never going to heal, if she kept bumping into people. As she looked at the bruise a memory came back, one she wanted to forget. 
She was adopted into a family, who were abusive really abusive. She doesn't talk to them anymore, but the memories of them still haunt her to this very day. She made her way to her bedroom, and laid down on her bed tired and exhausted. She yawns,  as she closes her eyes and falls asleep. 
'Please you, must keep it a secret.' 
'I love him so much, and I know it's forbidden.' 
'What if he's using you?' 
The faceless girl shakes her head, and looks at the girl in front of her. 
'That's not like him, he'd never do anything like that. He loves me, I can see it in his eyes.' 
'But...I'm worried about you. I don't want to see you hurt.' 
The girl takes, the other girls hands into hers and smiles.
'You won't he promises to protect me.' 
'He asked me to be his princess.' 
'What?!' 
The girl nods, smiling excitedly. 
'I said yes!" 
"I love him so much.' the girl sighs, looking up at the stars. 
"My...''
[Y/n] wakes up and, groans. She sits up in her bed and, looks out the window. She sighs and, stands up. Walking towards the bathroom, she takes off her clothes and, gets into the shower. As she washes, she looks down and, notices that the bruise is gone. 
"What!" She shouts, in shock looking down at her side. Seeing that it was gone...
[Time-Skip] after finding Sailor Mars Rei im a lazy ass bitch bitch bitch and to the ball for princess D
{Y/n's Ball Dress] 
[Y/n] gasps, as someone bumps into her spilling wine all over it. 
"Oh, excuse me." The lady says, and [Y/n] looks at the dress. She quickly tries to find the nearest bathroom,  but she couldn't find one. She looks down, at the dress her mother left her. The one time she wears it, it gets ruined. 
"My pretty young princess." She heard a voice say, then she was suddenly pulled into someone embrace, it was Tuxedo Mask. She gasped, in shock as the two began to dance, 
"would you honor me with one dance?" He says, she looks at him in shock. No way Tuxedo Mask could be here, this must be some dream. She smiles at him, and stares into his eyes.

Animator!Y/N
karasuno x gen!reader, hinata x reader
a/n: people who do animation, just take my whole heart pls
this felt like a proper fic but sorry if it's short,,
(please reblog darlings)
Tumblr media
yachi first started being curious about you since you were one of the teacher's pet, always lingering around the art teacher asking questions with a tablet in hand
she was nosy, she had to admit
she wanted to sneak a glance whenever you drew on your tablet and you would glance at her if she wants to take a look but she managed to look away before you saw
but she finally founds out what you're doing when some students partake in presentation (even if you didn't want to, the teacher liked you so you had to) and you presented yours
her little heart couldn't handle her excitement when fluid carefully drawn animation popped up on the screen and you looked at your hard work with pride
whatever subject was in the animation you discussed about it with the class and you couldn't help but of course notice the crooked smile that yachi had
she was impressed and filled with so much undescribable feelings, she could cry with how astonishing your work is
after art class yachi decided to approach you and ask a bunch of questions to you and you had the pleasure to answer all of them
you also wanted to cry because of how hyper of a puppy was when yachi would bounce up and down when you started describing about your work and how she would apologize if she was being too excited which you would shake your head to and laugh
you started exchanging numbers and you saved her under "gal who won't stop staring", of course you noticed
she couldn't hide it,,
after finding out where she was after school so you could ask her about art projects or catching up when you're absent, you started going to the club a lot more to also see the boys
they would always see you sliding into the gym and going to one of their managers and asking yachi about something
which they didn't mind much, the simpy duo thought you were stealing her away which you teased them by putting an arm around her as she laughs and says "there was nothing to worry about, y/n doesn't bite"
the whole team suprisingly loves to see your work especially hinata since he would make sound affects for your characters if you haven't added any audio yet
he would leap when your character does a transition or the scenery changes and he would gush about how cool you and your animation were
you, hinata and yachi would walk home admiring your work and yachi would also pull out her drawing as well to show both of you
hinata were both your hype man, he would compliment and point out every detail he loves
(i'm also convinced he has made doodles but they would look wonky but cute)
and since you two were close you always had sleepovers!!
usually it was at hinata's house so you could bond with natsu and she was entertained by your animations that you set up on your projecter
sometimes hinata's mom would pop up and see how it goes and she appreaciates having you over since you were such a kind and close friend of hinata that matches his energy
it was such a blast, stuffing yourselves with snacks and chortling till midnight which hinata's mom would try to shush all of you but she couldn't help but join in because it was so much fun
you would all have headaches though the next day buuut it was worth it~~
whenever you feel out of it, yachi's there
she would always be there to give you snacks or ask you take a few breaks if you worked too much
she would try to scold you and you just can't help but follow because it would be mean of you to ignore her words
and oh they were so wise
it helped you through times when she wasn't even there and it was good that you followed so you didn't hurt your mental health from the get go
now to timeskip,,
T I M E S K I P :
you were an independant animator animating part of your manga with your crew which you grouped together with your friend who was the boss of everything
you felt proud of yourself since you reached a long way,
how your parent/s didn't suppprt you from the start to how stress swallows you whenever you were near a deadline to how people complain if their request wasn't fulfilled to their liking,
yes, you still experienced it but it was a lot more better now than your highschool years telling you to shut up about your dreams
here you were animating frame by frame of your own creation,
what exactly was your manga about?
volleyball :))
yachi and karasuno's volleyball team has inspired you so much about how much team work and pain they went through and your heart stop whenever you remember
your big inspo, yachi who would never stop babbling about you and being right by your side when you need it
you might cry on the tablet you're drawing on which make your crew question on what are you crying about but you held back which also made your crew question why were you smiling so hard
nonetheless, you were almost happy everyday because you could reminisce with the ideas yachi gave you back then which you still kept dearly because they were great plot points
and how you stick close to each character no matter how goofy or chaotic they were, they had a lesson for each time they appear and dissappear
that's how the stadium smelled like, the colours and the adrenaline you felt by cheers from the crowds, you felt like you could fly right now with how much you wanted to scream the team's name and let them notice you
it smelled like the victory the monster duo had, it filled you with so much glee to watch them gain fans from the sidelines
you also felt hinata and kageyama's pride swelling and you could knock your chair over if you kept this up
there he was the orange haired boy who used to be your biggest fan standing in front of you who now has a lot more fans trailing behind him
eventhough he smelled musky and felt sweaty you can't control the urge to hug him and he also can't too
you later hugged kageyama and just spilled all your excitement to both of them on how well the matches went and hinata couldn't resist hugging you again and twirling you around
he planned on telling you all about your manga and how he haven't catched up on it yet on some of it and a pang struck your heart as you teared up which confused hinata
ah, he still remembered
"are you crazy, of course i did!" his boyish laughter was louder than your sobs when he rested your head on his chest and pushed him off, complaining about how sweaty he was
oh you silly goose, of course he did
you also met up with the rest and tumbled into yachi when she appeared around the corner and everyone laughed it out
either of you got a headache as you both help each other up
hinata and kageyama would stand near the third years who held their hearts and congratulated them
which kageyama would smile and nod while hinata would still bashfully scratch his neck while happily thanking them because his seniors were proud of him
you would take a selfie with yachi and hinata, yachi would be the one leaping off the ground and eventhough the picture was a little blurry atleast you could catch both of their smiles
the next time you meet up, hinata was there in his comfy clothes melting into all the pillows you pelted at him and you snuggled right next to him when you both were fresh out the shower
just like the old times, how he would wrap around your arm and yachi would be on your left doing the same
except this time, you were the one snuggling onto hinata's arm
you felt kinda sad that yachi couldn't join since she was really busy
but hinata interrupted your thoughts with a screech when you whipped your head back to see what he was doing
the television showed your blood sweat and tears of the countless projects and art that you did about it, dropping your head on hinata's shoulder as not even a second in, you got a series of shout and yells of eagerness from him
"i added a reference of you somewhere~" "huh! really? did you add kageyama?? he'll text me about it later-"
and the night was drowning in the amounts of laughter and euphoria you two shared,
the number 2 who supports you will always be the number 1 in your heart

some design notes about my approach to the Lightner characters in the deltarune!yugioh AU (ygorune as I’ve been tagging it):
predominately I’ve been looking at the nerd herd’s little Monster World figures for their base Dark World designs/classes... though Yugi and Tristan especially I’ve also drawn from their funny little Duel Monster Form from episode 13/the one where yami bakura turns them all into their Favorite Card. (also, like, how can i NOT base yugi’s dark world look on the dark magician)
.....ok but for the record kaiba’s Dark World getup is 110% inspired by his crazy Blue Eyes armor from Duelist of the Roses, truly a video game of all time.
I’ve also used the manga and Season 0 as the inspo for a lot of everyone’s funky Dark World color palettes--stuff like ryou’s Neon Green Eyes, the immortal Green Kaiba Hair, joey having sort of pinkish hair in some illustrations, it’s all too good to pass up!!
Soul colors are largely assigned based on what attribute Undertale gave each other colors and how well I think they match each ygo I gave them, but also, cmon, yugi needs the purple one and kaiba needs the blue one . As is law. (though perseverance and integrity do suit them very well imo)

Come Back to Me - Junpei Y.
Tumblr media
Summary: When you saw his world falling apart, you did your best to try and save him.
Pairing: Yoshino Junpei x GN!Reader
Rating: T
Word Count: 1.6k
Warnings: Major character death, Angst w/o a happy ending, Bullying
Notes: This is admittedly not my best work. I kept wanted to scrap it and start over (I did actually...but only once) because I was having a hard time articulating reader’s feelings. My first JJK piece, I plan on tackling the manga sooner rather than later. When requests open back up JJK will be one of the available fandoms you can choose from! Anyway I pulled a lot of inspo from recalling my teenage years and having heartbreaking crushes on unobtainable people lmfao.
 Why did you do it? His words echoed in your mind as the two of you sat, bloodied, bruised, and burned against the chain link fence behind the high school you both attended. Why didn’t you run?    
 The words flowed from your lips so effortlessly, so easily, so without any care in the world, “Because you are my friend, Junpei. That is what friends do.”
 Junpei had a simple view on life. People were evil. They were heartless. They were cruel. They hated anything that was out of the ordinary. That was different. They hated him. So when he was being beaten yet again by Ito Shouta and his cronies, he was utterly surprised when you picked up a rock that had been nearby and hurled it at the ring leader’s direction to get him to stop.
 The broken off ball of concrete hit the center of Shouta’s back, causing a surprised yelp before making him see red. He turned seeing you standing there, fists clenched by your sides and eyes alight with fury. You had ordered them to leave him alone, to buzz off, to do anything but whatever it was that they were doing to your friend.
 They did not spare you. No, instead they threw you down next to Junpei and used you as a second punching bag. You were outnumbered. Overpowered. Defeated. But the one thing you absolutely weren’t was regretful. Sure Junpei was a bit different and sometimes a little odd but he didn’t deserve to be abused for being abnormal. No one did. Shouta was just some douchebag rich kid that had nothing better to do than torment classmates he felt were beneath him.
 “Never do that again.” Junpei said firmly, in a voice that caught you totally off guard. “Promise me, next time you’ll just run.” You couldn’t understand why he was upset with you for helping. Why he didn’t want your help. You couldn’t help the sinking feeling in your chest, the spark of rejection.
 But seeing you hurt, hearing you cry out in pain, watching your beauty being marred by burns that would more than likely turn to scars…it was too much. His heart just couldn’t take it. It was better for him, for both of you, if you just stayed out of it. Junpei, who felt like the most hated person on all of planet Earth, couldn’t let you hate him too. And surely after being beaten up a couple times for him, you would start to.
 His hands grasped your upper arms tightly, in a grip that was bound to bruise. He wasn’t entirely sure why he was even this upset. He’s never wanted to protect anyone other than himself ever in the entirety of his young life. He was shaking, pleading, begging you to please please never do something like this ever again. If you cared about him at all you wouldn’t.
 And despite your confusion, despite your urgent need to help him, to wipe his tears away, to clean up his cuts, to treat his burns, despite your heart swelling with pain at the thought of just walking away as he cried out for help, you agreed. You told him you would get an adult next time. You wouldn’t take matters into your own hands. If that was truly what he wanted, then you would just stay away.
 He hands loosened enough for you to move your arms again and you couldn’t stop yourself from pulling him in for a hug. If you couldn’t stop it, if you couldn’t save him from the worst of them, then at least you’d be there for the aftermath. For the tears and the anger and despair. You could pick up the pieces of him left scattered on the ground by the bullies that had nothing better to do in their spare time than to tear others down. Because Junpei wasn’t just your friend, he was your first crush. Your only crush. The one that made your heart flutter whenever he noticed you or had a smile tugging at your lips when he spoke to you in the hallway. Junpei who was so sweet, so quiet, so gentle. Junpei who had absolutely no idea how you felt about him in any way whatsoever.
 Over the following few weeks you had noticed him missing more and more school. You had volunteered to take his schoolwork to him after class so that he wouldn’t fall behind. This was more of an excuse to see him and make sure he was okay than to actually help him keep his grades up. That evening, you left him your notes and worksheets, and he seemed incredibly distant as he spoke with you. You knew in your heart that something was wrong. Something just wasn’t sitting right. Perhaps Shouta had gone too far, perhaps he just had no will to come back to class. Whatever it was, there was a sick feeling deep in your chest at the possibility that you wouldn’t get to see him every day ever again.
 You left him your phone number, urged him to please stay in contact because you wanted to know that he was alright. That things were okay. That he’d come back to you someday. It was just a crush but being without him just hurt so much. School wasn’t easy for you either, you had your own bullies to handle. The thought of weathering their verbal abuse alone just had tears springing to your eyes as you laid in bed at night waiting for a text, an email, a call, anything.  
 Junpei did none of the above. He did not text you. He did not email you. And her most certainly did not call you. Had you read him wrong all this time? Were his feelings simply not the same? Did he detest you as much as he did all the others?
 A few nights later you finally did receive a message from him. It was a simple five word phrase via text message. A warning that made your stomach churn with nauseating anxiety. Don’t come to school tomorrow.  
 What was he planning? Should you tell someone? The principal? The police? Your parents? Junpei wasn’t capable of something terrible like that, was he? There was no way he could hurt anyone, right? Was this why he had been absent? He was planning something terrible? On top of that, should you heed his warning and miss school?
 You urgently messaged him back, asking why. Begging for him to come clean to you. However, there was no response. No other messages came. You attempted to call him but his phone had been turned off. Did you go to his apartment? Run there despite the setting sun to find out what was going through his head? Why wouldn’t he just talk to you? Let you help him?!
 All night you tossed and turned, mind reeling with every possible scenario you could think of. Nothing made sense anymore. You couldn’t think of a single way to stop him besides to be there in person. Even if it puts you in danger. Even if you got hurt. It was worth it to save him, even if it was from himself. You’d go and you’d find him and you’d stop him.
 When you arrived at school, sleep deprived and exhausted, you kept a sharp eye out for your friend. You sat down towards the back of the auditorium as the morning assembly began. It seemed as if Shouta was getting some sort of award today, some acknowledgment for an achievement that he likely paid for. You struggled to stay awake, the feeling only getting worse when you finally did see Junpei enter the back of the room. You attempted to call out for him, but something was wrong. You couldn’t move, your body slipping into unconsciousness.
 When you awoke, the first thing you noticed was everyone around you sleeping and what sounded like a fight happening outside in the hallway. You stood, ignoring the shouts of Sotomura-sensei for you to stay down, and ran to try and figure out what was happening.
 Once outside, you raced down the hall, skidding to a halt when you saw Junpei along with two men standing beside the stairwell. The odd looking one had an arm around Junpei, the other freakishly stretched to pin the other teenager to the wall. You couldn’t make out what they were saying. Whatever Junpei had done to make you fall asleep was affecting your senses. In fact you weren’t even sure that what you were seeing was real.
 Junpei had morphed into some kind of monster, “Junpei!” You screamed for him as the other two started fighting, running to gather his misshapen body into your arms. “Junpei?” But he was gone.
 Someone was telling you to run, but you couldn’t move. Your legs would not listen to your brain as you sobbed into the mop of black hair on top of the malformed Junpei’s head. Your grip on him would have no doubt been painful if he were still alive to feel any. You begged, begged, anyone who was listening to bring him back. You’d do anything, absolutely anything, just bring Junpei back! Just bring him back to you, safe and sound! Let you take care of him again like old times! Please! Please? Please…
 No one answered your cries. Of course they didn’t. Why would they? In a world so cold and cruel, why would they bring your love back to you? You could feel your soul withering, shuddering with grief as your heart shrank more and more into your chest until you felt nothing. Nothing at all. Just complete and total numbness. He was gone. He was gone and he was never coming back. .

[WMMAP] The Slow Burn AU
oh boy guess who’s (a teeny bit) sleep-deprived and back on their bullshit with [concept ideas that they swear to never write]? this pal right here
fun fact, this post is roughly 3400 words :’D
@lithium-15​ @d4ddylucas​ i hope this update brings you joy because i’ve finally convinced myself to open yet another google docs tab for a fic that will cause suffering for us all around, whether it be waiting for, reading, or writing it
i’ll be titling it as “beep beep (answer the phone already you asshole)” just so i can just shorten it to [beep beep] when i tag it on here
the potential titles it could’ve been called in case you didn’t see one of my misc posts about it:
• it was an opportunity missed • call me if you want to reach me • voicemails • this aching heart of mine • may i take your order • it really doesn’t seem like there’s anyone for me • beep beep (answer the phone already you asshole) • a series of bad advice (note to self: don’t listen to helena) • i lost my number; can i have yours?
also im ngl. lowkey got the idea while i was writing this of a pjo au where diana is aphrodite or claude is zeus (which is funny considering that ive been having athy getting nicknamed with “athena” and lucas being nicknamed “luke” for the longest time and only NOW thought of a pjo au)
vague, non-spoiler-y ideas:
• i definitely want lucas and athy to go “lmao they may be attractive but i would Never date them” and then later go “fuck maybe i do want to date them”
• in their pre-irl reveal, they go by athena and luke as nicknames when they text each other
• even though athy seems to be very sociable, i definitely want lucas to call her boring tbh??? also, she Definitely plays otome games in her free time.
• athy definitely has blackie. but i’m not sure if i want to make them be a cute lil pug or a chow chow. case in point:
Tumblr media
• fucking adorable, isn’t it? meanwhile, a chow chow is a cute monster of floof and at this point im just being self-indulgent:
Tumblr media
• if i wanted to be manhwa-accurate, blackie looks more like a wolfdog or maybe a doberman whatever (i’d have to look more into different types of dog breeds if i really wanted to narrow it all down except i Know i’ll probably start weeping over cute dogs cause i fucking love animals and will coo over it so no, i’m not gonna do that), but because i’m very much a “it’s an au i can do as i please” so i’ll most likely have blackie be a chow chow fluff ball
• athy getting her wisdom tooth removed at one point and texting like an inebriated drunkard that is only coherent thanks to autocorrect
• in the beginning, helena is established to have a romantic interest in lucas, while cabel has a romantic interest in athy. misunderstandings ensue
• i’m deadass rereading last game for this au because of all the pining this fic is gonna have. so there will probably be a few scenes here and there that i got the inspo from the manga. might draw some inspo from other manga/manhwa (i.e. yanagi’s proposal to kujou is a Maybe???)
• college club life even though ive literally never joined any clubs before i dropped out and know nothing. im basing the clubs off of what’s at the community college i went to. taekwondo lucas and tennis player athy?
• cabel being part of the astronomy club, along with helena. tempted to make her be a paralegal but that’s diving a little too close into [it was only one night] ngl
• so lucas canonically has 2 brothers, 1 younger, 1 older. meaning that since lucas is 24 y/o, his younger brother is roughly 14 y/o and his older brother would be maybe 27 y/o. his older bro’s gonna get married in this fic
• lucas has a matchmaking grandma constantly on his case, even more so now that his older brother will be getting married
• “be my matchmaker repellent” lucas @ athy
• lucas is gonna have familial drama in the fact that he’s got brothers and has to Deal with them. meanwhile, athy’s familial drama is that she was raised in a single parent household and has never known her father and ended up meeting him at someone’s goddamn wedding
i’ll essentially be rehashing and expanding on details down below, laying out an outline for the info i mentioned before, but in a more organized manner for my future self’s sanity. it’ll technically be spoilers, even if i might not follow the outline perfectly, since i’m still working through my thought process on how i’d like for this fic to go
OVERVIEW
• AUs: coffee shop + college + wrong number + modern setting + social media??? + strangers to friends to lovers + minor fake dating
• rated: M (no E, no smut, no violence, the only thing that’s E for this fic is Emotional Suffering)
• slice of life vibe, basically
• Ships: lucathy, calena, felily, mentioned claudiana, probably jennkiel, onesided athykiel
• general word count goal: 5k min to 10k max (per chapter)
• total chapter goal: 100 (200 based on the goddamn outline Help)
note: there’s more if you want to read the entire fic outline and get possible in-story spoilers
INTRODUCTION: the setup
• essentially going over a regular day in lucas and athy’s life
• establishing a worker-customer acquaintanceship (meaning that there’s next to no direct interactions)
• the wrong number trope ends up happening -- luke and athena being their nicknames.
• chapter goal from beginning to end: 1 to 5
PART ONE: the getting-to-know-you (mostly via texts)
• essentially thinking that the other person is cute irl but believing that they have such a shitty personality that they would never want to date the other person (after seeing their interactions with their friends -- lucas being blunt and dropping the customer service smile around cabel, athy ranting to helena about what would sound like dumb shit to him)
• helena catches feelings for lucas. cabel also catches feelings for athy. athy helping helena get a date with lucas. lucas decides to try and get cabel a date. it goes exactly as one would expect -- not well.
• there’s a huge misunderstanding, and eventually cabel and helena end up accidentally going on a date together. they realize that they’ve got a lot in common and decide to give it a try
• tl;dr, the “attempted wingman” arc
• athy probably gets her wisdom tooth removal at the beginning of this arc
• the “haha me liking him/her? that’s dumb” portion
• chapter goal: 6 to 15
PART TWO: the friendship portion!!!
• as in. lucas and athy end up becoming proper friends irl instead of the impersonal acquaintanceship.
• i want lucas to have some major family drama going on. like a “i need someone to be my plus 1 for my older brother’s wedding and my grandma’s been constantly trying to matchmake me with every eligible girl my age -- basically, be my matchmaker repellent” type of drama not drama-drama being in something sob-worthy
• note: he does not ask athanasia, he complains to her about it through their text convos by mentioning that his brother’s getting married and his grandma wanting to pair him off with a family friend’s daughter, but he doesn’t ask her to help him whether irl or through the screen and its only mentioned as a minor thing (foreshadowing, basically)
• another note: the wedding would not happen asap, rather his brother’s engagement and marriage is essentially going to be setup in this part of the story. its more of a matter of lucas needing to repel his grandma’s matchmaking attempts. it’ll be a “in the next couple of months” and will most likely be happening in part 4 of this outline
• lucas and athy end up catching feelings for each other. as in their minor attraction from part 1 returns to slap them in the face. they agonize over this with their “wrong number buddy” (who just so happen to be the crush in question)
• the “i kinda wanna hold their hand” to “fuck fuck fuck fuck i wanna hold their hand fuck”
• chapter goal: 16 to 29
PART THREE: the pining
• suffer with me
• there’s essentially the mIb love square as lithium called out. at one point they’ll be talking about maybe doing a phone call one of these days (since one of them called by accident) and just nervous realization of “oh no i like this person AND my texting buddy”
• lucas asking athy if she’d be willing to be his plus one at his brother’s wedding -- his matchmaker repellent. we can turn it into a valentines thing, too so that it’ll be all the more ridiculous, because athy would think he’s about to ask her to be his girlfriend, so she just keeps nodding until she hears the question of her being his plus one so that he’d have a friend that could help him put an end to all the matchmaking attempts. plus, he can’t ask cabel to help him out because then that would invite granny hwang’s attempt to push eligible bachelors at him instead
• athy was 100% not amused to hear that she wasn’t even his first, second, or third choice. but she’s pining and begrudgingly agrees to help him out
• little did she know that she WAS his first choice, it’s just that he didn’t Ask her until everyone else was a definite no. she’s also his last choice because if lucas was desperate enough he would’ve deadass asked his texting buddy
• helena will Probably try to set athy up on a blind date, but since it takes place at the coffee shop/cafe lucas works at, he essentially helps athy out when they realize that helena unintentionally agreed to set her up with her EX???? idk yet except that they’re not really Friends, but regardless lucas manages to help her. it’s kiel who’s the blind date btw
• the one-sided athykiel -- essentially ezekiel establishing that he likes athy. athy mentions him to lucas in their text convos by mentioning that she’s pretty sure he likes her but she’s just Not into him like that
• the “it’s fine we’re friends and friends hold hands and they hug all the time so it wouldn’t be strange right” reassurances
• chapter goal: 30 to 56
PART FOUR: the panicking
• they have their first phone call :’)
• lucathy simping for the other person’s voice and lowkey thinking “wow they sound so familiar haha” and more or less going “you have a really nice voice if you did audiobooks i’d buy them just to hear your voice”
• idk what the fuck’s gonna happen by chapter 100, but its going to be when they FINALLY get a clue that they might have mutual feelings and hold hands and it’s very obvious (to everyone) that they’re into each other
• there’s gonna be the wedding for lucas’s older brother with athy as lucas’s plus one. lucas is from a prominent and rich family, so a lot of his family’s business associates are invited to the wedding. cabel’s family shows up, cause cabel’s older brother is a businessman; cabel is lucas’s childhood friend btw
• so after the family drama that lucas has with his family prior to part four dies down, it’s athy’s turn of familial drama :)
• in the fact that claude shows up to the part and he’s just. “diana???” and athy, having grown up in a single parent household that consists of her and her mom, is surprise pikachu face like “you know my mom?”
• so athy’s familial drama is essentially a “holy shit my dad’s a multibillionaire bachelor and my mom never told me until AFTER i met him”. cue the whole awkward “fuck,,, guys my dad wants to marry my mom after finally finding her thanks to me and my mom still loves him and im so fucking confused because this whole time i thought mom left him cause he was a piece of shit but it turns out that it was because my mom thought he deserved someone better than a part-time dance instructor and now everything i thought i knew is Shattered”
• yeah i didn’t want anything too angsty with athy’s family drama. so i decided to give it a cinderella kinda vibe. like the prince at the ball (claude attending the wedding) and finding cinderella’s shoe (athy being the shoe) that leads him to cinderella (finding diana). i was gonna make a joke about it being like cinderella but then i ended up making That connection tbh
• also, at the wedding lucas planned on telling her that he realized that she’s been his texting buddy, but then claude interrupted them because he was pretty sure that athy is his daughter
• it’s the “what does this mean does that mean they like me back or???” (mostly panic on athy’s side) of the story, but it’s also the “fuck man i’ve got shit going on with my family that i don’t know if i can even Think about romance”
• chapter goal: 57 to 100
PART FIVE: the adjustment period
• athy essentially dealing with the fact that her entire life she thought her dad was a dirtbag but it turns out that it was all a misunderstanding so she’s trying to learn how to get along with the guy
• meeting her cousin jennette who’s all “!!!!!!! i have a cousin that’s almost a year younger than me!!!” and wants to get along with athy. she’s trying to see if jennette’s being genuine or not (spoilers: she is)
• also lucas manages to FINALLY tell athy that he thinks that she’s his texting buddy. and it’s that awkward relief that the person they like is the same person. although now lucas thinks that athy has a crush on a coworker of his or something while athy thinks that lucas is interested in a customer of his
• despite both of them being genuises. helena has the shared brain cell and she’s crying at the level of misunderstandings that’s going on when athy tells her about her crush on lucas and her adamant belief that he’s crushing on a customer
• cabel not so subtly trying to figure out who lucas likes -- it’s obvious to helena who highkey thinks lucathy is definitely gonna happen and will Definitely win the lucathy betting pool against lucas’s older brother, but cabel’s like “idk though athy doesn’t seem like his type”
• claude and diana deciding to get married; felix being claude’s best man, lillian being diana’s maid of honor, with athy taking part in the overall wedding planning
• during the wedding planning process for claudiana, athy is just looking at all these pictures and thinking “getting married,,,,, actually sounds kinda nice” and that comment more or less ends up slipping out while she’s sitting on the sofa at lucas’s apartment while looking through wedding pictures. and lucas just. freezes, staring at athy as she’s staring at her screen.
• lucas making a bet with her courtesy of Last Game (not gonna be the same words as yanagi since athy is Very much aware of social cues unlike kujou, but lucas WILL say “then i’ll be putting a ring on your finger” or something along the lines)
• chapter goal: 100 to 150
PART SIX: FINALLY TOGETHER
• i don’t know i really don’t know i just want them to finally get together by part six because if i keep delaying it in this outline i really might go insane the more slow burn i add to it
• wedding #2 except this time its claudiana getting married. they wanted to get married asap, but claude and athy both agreed that it would be worth it to see diana in a wedding dress because they both simp for her
• athy’s plus one is lucas since they both agreed to be each other’s emergency plus one after his brother’s wedding since. they’re both from prominent families so they want to avoid shit
• everyone’s asking lucathy if they have plans on getting married (a lot of claude’s wedding guests assume that athy’s dating lucas and lowkey wants to know if their sons or daughters have a chance)
• this is where the fake dating Really kickstarts which makes athy feel immensely guilty cause she’s lying to her mom tbh but lucas just swoops in and smoothly answers that it’s only natural that he intends on one day marrying athy and they’re pretty much #relationship goals despite not actually dating
• which is probably when she realizes that he Did mention something about marriage during their bet since his win meant that he’d be putting a ring on her finger
• only reason why claude hasn’t tried to lowkey murder lucas is cause it’s athy’s decision on who she dates and loves, but he Will murder lucas if he ever breaks her heart -- which, luckily for everyone, he hasn’t and won’t be
• especially cause lucas and athy Do start actually dating after claudiana’s wedding (because they end up talking because athy really stopped to think “holy shit am i the person that you like???” and cue lucas going “thanks for stating the obvious -- btw i won the bet” so guess who’s boyfriend/girlfriend but are Also technically fiance/es via bet)
• i am going to cry when lucathy are finally dating
• chapter goal: 151 to 178
CONCLUSION: lovey-dovey fluff
• it’s. as the title indicates. fluff. lovey-dovey pure fluff
• athy moving into lucas’s apartment. athy wearing his sweaters and clothes. matching scarves. athy “accidentally” leaving a lipstick mark on his cheek or lips idk yet but it’ll happen
• ring pop proposal ft. drunk athy. lucas ends up snickering and will ruthlessly tease athy over it, especially since cabel drunkenly got it all on camera and bawled over how “beautiful” it was. lucas said yes btw, and then a drunken helena started crying over it too repeating “he said Yes!!!!”
• then a proper lucathy proposal (although technically athy already gave lucas a ring and lucas already said he’d put a ring on her finger if he won the bet). it’s annoyingly casual for athy’s tastes, and if anyone ever asks how the proposal had gone, there will ALWAYS be a completely different story (“she proposed to me with a ring pop while she was drunk” or “he proposed via a bet before we were even dating” or “he proposed to me when we were having dinner and i choked on my cake” or “she thought i was joking about buying her a ring, but then i actually knelt down on one knee and proposed to her at the cafe when i was still on the clock” “i proposed to him after he made me dinner because of how good his cooking is”). all of it is true and valid, but Nobody knows and everyone thinks that they’re just joking around until the lucathy wedding invitation arrives in the mail a few months later
• maybe a lucathy wedding will be written cause i hate myself and want to make the chapter goal a nice round 200 and you know what they say -- 3rd time’s the charm
• do i want claude and diana to give athy a younger brother that would, undoubtedly, be like almost 21-22 years of an age difference between athy and the lil bro. i did the calculations guys, since in this au diana was 18 (claude was 17-18) when she gave birth to athy, and since athy is 21-22 in the present day, that means diana is 39 years old. it’s still very much a possibility for her to get pregnant and have another kid
• chapter goal: 179 to 200
i planned on posting this earlier, but i guess its an early valentines day post now LMAO

It wasn’t the 16-Aug I planned...
...But I’m okay with that.
Time to re-evaluate my Writing Queue!
Things about writing, other projects, and a long(ish) term health thinger beneath the read more. (will probably copypasta this to DW also x-posted to DW behind f-lock)
The way things have been for the past many years, 1 Jul thru 15 Aug is my prime time for writing purely for the fun of it. Or, well, for the ‘fun’ of it because writing becomes far less fun during editing and it downright sucks during the final passes required to create something I might actually want to post. >_<
As vaguely alluded to in a variety of posts for the past 6 weeks, my prime writing time this year was flushed down the drain because I was in far too much pain to use a laptop. AND, GUESS WHAT?! Today is the first day since July that I am mentally unaware of the pain that parts of my body have been in. 
*fistbumps the sky*
Yeah, things are still tweaky. Muscles still spasm at random moments. Lying down in certain positions is still an uncomfortable proposition. Certain joints, muscles, tendons, etc., need to be babied for a few more months while the healing continues. I cannot do anything vaguely athletic for a while longer else risk serious (re)injury, but all of that is okay with me. 
WHY?
I CAN FINALLY SIT IN FRONT OF MY LAPTOP AND TYPE ON IT AND ACTUALLY THINK WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS RATHER THAN omfffg kill my body now.  or, worse, as in, not even being able to sit, which was my life for a few weeks in July.
SO WRITTTTTTTTTTTTTTING.
Well, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... It is nearing the end of August and my writing has been ***crickets***
Worse (???) -- hahahahahahahaha -- I have too many NEW ideas for fanfic as if I need more ideas because I don’t. But too late. TOOOOO LATE EVERYONE. TOOO DAMN LATE.
So, what do I plan on trying to do before the end of year (note: end of year for me is a bit earlier than Dec 31 b/c travel, varying levels of internet access/lack-there-of, varying levels of free time, etc.)
MUST DO:
-0- Various pro projects, fiction and non, various formats. blah blah bhakjfakj. Work. Wark. Thud.  *whistles*  *twirls thumbs*
MORALLY(?!) FEEL THAT I SHOULD DO:
-1-  Finally rewrite that mess of a novella I speed-barfed last year in July:  One Minute to Midnight. FFVII, between AC and DoC, Vincent/His_Epic_Issues, prior Vin/Lu, Vin&Yu with much ??? surrounding their thing. 
-->  Add the missing scenes that were cut b/c epic lack of time when writing new text up to the reveal deadline.
-->  Edit for characterization and headcanon consistency since this was written before I finished thinking through major things in Monsters.
-2-  Make a serious effort to spend 90 minutes (?) per week (??) cleaning up all of my fannish stuff so it is easier for myself to find my inspo stuff, easier for other people to find my fic, and so all of my online spaces don’t look like half abandoned dumps. This includes moving a lot of stuff to AO3 so it is archived in good faith, or, at least, archived in one place where I know it is and where other people can find things that have been missing or hard to find since LJ took a dive. (My Gabranth/Drace novella, early Basch?Penelo disaster fic, etc.). Epic amounts of 200-word exact drabble fiction. Lots of garbage words but some good stuff.
-->  Basic goal A: just restore the stuff and get it into an archive. Bonus goal: re-edit with time limits so it is a “just good enough” rewrite and consider it editing practice which is good for the mind, sort of like practicing scales.
-->  Basic goal B:  clean up my 99 different tumblrs, Make them more navigable.  Bonus goal:  use my HTML/CSS powers for good and play with a customizable theme. Beautify everything including my DW b/c that is very good for removing the rust from my programming brain. (actually, I miss programming...)
DEEPLY COMPELLED TO DO AGAINST ALL COMMON SENSE REASON:
-3-  A River in a Dry Land. P5, character exploration, pre/during/post-canon, chaotic-good!sweet-n-snarkyJoker!Akira/AnnTakamaki friends to lovers, fluff with angst, slice of life, buddy fic, STRAYCAT OF A TEEN BOY AND HIS TALKING MAGICAL CAT, FOUND FAMILY LIKE WHOOOOAAAAAA WHOOAAAAA FOUND FAMMILLLY EVERyWHERE (futaba little sis, makoto big sis, Ms. Kawakami substitute mum, etc.), EVERTYTHIGHNNG IS FLUFFERNUTTER SICKLy SWEEET GOOODNESS because this boy is really honest about things even when adults don’t believe him, although his friends totally see him for who he is because he rarely hides anything from them, except all of this thru the lens of my gender interrogating shitlit angst prose b/c that is how I write. Also, Akira (and any Protagonist) is, canonically, an M&M with a shell of calm control coating a center of burning rage. So, let’s be honest about where the fluff coating ends and the angst/rage choco+nuts center begins, k? But, honestly, A River may literally be the largest, fluffiest, wholesome goodness thing I have ever in my life conceived and I just don’t even know. but it wants to be written despite all common sense reason regarding my epic lack of time. So:
-->  Dump draft scenes to tumblr/dw as I write them, with the caveat that they are drafts with story facts and metaphors and allusions that may change once I have digested the entire canon in all three forms (game, anime, manga) and given it time to simmer in my head.
-->  Eventually say ENOUGH ENGOUGGHGHGHGH ENOUGH and fast-rewrite the whole thing as a coherent whole, dumping it chapter-by-chapter to AO3. (omfg I don’t need another project but it is too late b/c it already has a lot of words... shit shit shit shit.)
-4- Alleycat. P5, post-canon, future-fic. Follow-on short stories to A River in Dry Land. Akira as a laid-back dude, working odd jobs and half-assing college while becoming a novelist ...and watching his friends come into their own as they grow into the goals and lives they dreamed about some years ago, back when Akira was 16-going-on-17 during that fateful year in Tokyo. (Akira/Ann, other ships in backgrounded or foregrounded as needed).
DARK TEMPTATIONS I MIGHT PLAY WITH ON THE SIDE:
-5-  Masquerade. P5, chaotic-neutral!delinquent!emotionally-messed-upJoker!Ren in a series of one-shots that explore the mess that a poor self-control Protagonist can get himself into. Trainwreck relationships galore. (because... it’s what people expect from me?! ;)
--> Find some prompts. Prompts are great for inspiring me to write train wreck one-shots. ;)
THINGS I ABSOLUTELY MUST GET BACK TO BECAUSE FEEEELS + WRITERLY CHALLENGE == BRAINFOOD & SANITY: 
-6-  Even the Littlest Monsters Cast Shadows Long and Tall. FFVII, Vincent’s messed up present juxtaposed with Vincent’s train wreck past. Canon ships + a very slow burn Yuffentine that crashes and burns in an disastrous mess before later getting their act together. 
--> Start dumping 1st draft scenes to Tumblr/DW with warning that these may change in the final novel (destined for AO3)
--> Finish solving plot-weaving problems. This story has multiple plot lines across multiple time lines and ... so tricky and so brain-must-be-at-full-power to figure this out. But the challenge is worth it. It’s a level up for me if I manage to do this half way okay.
--> Get everything (such an epic mess) prepped and reorganized in scrivener such that the final draft can eventually occur ... and such that a production schedule for AO3 chapter release can happen. ;)
No Hurry, **NO PROMISES** --- THINGS FOR RAINY DAYS WHEN NEEDING A BREAK FROM ANY OF THE ABOVE:
-7-  Sunrise, Sunset, Supernova. FFVII, Vincent?Aerith, Chaos/Lifestream. Novella. ...The second ship says all that needs to be said...
-8-  Tinker, Tailor. FFVII, Reeve.  An interconnect series of missing-scenes short stories, mostly while Reeve serves as a spy.  
-9-  Urbanism. FFVII, Tseng. An collection of atmospheric flashfic stories about Tseng and Midgar. 
-10-  You Can Never Go Home Again, FFVII, Yuffie/Vincent is a very good, very healthy relationship whereas Yuffie/Wutai is a freaking trainwreck edging into unhealthy mess. A collection of short stories and/or novellas that take place 12 to 60+ years post-canon. 
OKAY. 10. LIST IS COMPLETELY FILLED.
