Here's a good one: Street Racer AU!
Kid, Liz and Patty (Kid's still a grim reaper, he just doesnt know it yet!) Grew up together in New York Brooklyn, eventually getting into the world of street racing. Their super well known, ecpiecally because of their young age. (Kid is 13, Patty is 15, and Liz is 17.) Kid's the racer, whilst Liz and Patty kinda act like mechanics/support in the more rough parts of the life. Because of kid not knowing what exactly he is, he has little to no control over his powers, aka super strength, super senses, soul perception, and light manipulation, among others. His OCD is also like five times worse too, but instead of breaking down from his attacks, he just... gets really angry, but absolutely hates himself afterwards. Liz and patty help by setting him up with some evil bastards, so he wont feel as guilty if he acvidently kills them. (One day, patty acvidently ate the red soul of the evil bastards, and thats how they found out how to get stronger via pre-kishin souls.)
Eventually, Soul and Maka come to town to investigate three possible pre kishins, and the rumours of something not quite human, and to report back to Lord Death.
Maybe they meet after a good race, or they track him down to their place or something, your choice.
Not gonna lie, I struggled a bit with this one at first, but once I got an idea for it, I could not stop writing lol. So here's almost 3,000 words of a very anime-esque street racing fic! Please suspend your disbelief a bit on some of the physics of this lol
Soul Eater Street Racer AU:
Warnings for: excessive swearing and violence
Maka and Soul had accepted their mission with no qualms. It seemed like a pretty run of the mill request. There were three potential kishins in Brooklyn, New York and the two of them had to get them to stop and give up the souls they’ve consumed, or defeat them and take their souls for the DWMA.
The two of them wandered around the city looking for clues, until evening began to roll around. As they kept walking, someone stopped them.
“Hey, you two don’t seem to be from around here. It’s best if you get back to where you’re staying as soon as possible. There have been a lot of killings around here lately. People have been saying that the culprit ambushes them in alleyways at night. Be careful out there, okay?” the person tells them before scurrying off.
“Sounds like we have a lead then, Soul,” Maka says. “We’ll wait until night time and check out the alleys.
“Sounds good to me. Let’s get some dinner while we wait then, ‘kay?”
The two of them enjoy a few sights in the city and grab a meal before continuing their search in the now-dark city streets. Just as they are passing by a seemingly empty alley, Maka pauses.
“Soul,” she says.
“Right,” he says, transforming into his weapon form.
Maka takes a step closer to the alley, trying to figure out the presence she had sensed. It seemed almost familiar, in a way that was different from the previous kishins she had gone after before.
“Hmm, you two seem to be stronger than a lot of the others in this city. Where are you from?” a voice rings out from deep in the alleyway.
Maka keeps a grip on Soul, turning to where the voice was coming from. She squinted, trying to get a glimpse at the person hiding in the shadows. A boy came forward then, just on the edge of the light beaming from the street lamp outside of the alley.
“I’m Maka Albarn, scythe meister from the DWMA. We’re here to demand that you stop consuming the souls of humans and kishins. If you don’t-” she says, swinging Soul so she is in a full battle stance, “then we’ll have to take your soul ourselves!”
The boy laughs and makes a small gesture with his hands. Behind him, two girls come forward, similar enough to be sisters. They seem pretty disinterested with the situation happening in front of them.
“I have weapons of my own too, you see. I’m not interested in fighting that way if I don’t have to. Here’s what we’ll do instead,” the boy says. “I’m sure you’ve heard that they call these the ‘streets of death’ at night. You’ll follow me down here and you’ll find out why. If you survive- if you somehow manage to beat us- then we might reconsider the way we do things around here.”
Maka glares at him for a moment before dropping her fighting stance.
“Come on, Soul. Let’s follow him.”
“Are you serious, Maka? We have no idea what’s down there. We don’t know what kind of power they have!”
“Exactly. It doesn’t matter right now whether we follow them or try to fight them here. We have no idea what they could do to us. Right now, it’s better if we listen and follow them.”
The boy smirks as Soul reluctantly transforms.
“Good. Now follow me. I won’t wait for you,” he says as he promptly turns around and walks further into the darkness.
Maka and soul quickly follow, and Soul pulls out a lighter to make sure they don’t lose the three they were after. The walk feels long, and Maka is certain that they may have been going in circles for a while. Just as she’s about to say something, they start to approach another dim alleyway. It was lit up just enough that Maka saw three cars parked. Once they were all in the light of this alley, the boy finally stopped.
“Alright, what is this?” she asks.
“Choose whichever one you’d like. Pick carefully though. You’ll be racing us,” he says.
“You’re street racers?” Soul asks. “No way in hell!”
“Hey! Don’t you dare diss us. How the hell do you think we got to where we are now?” one of the girls, the taller of the two, scolds.
Soul throws his hands up in defense and looks to Maka. She seemed unsure, but still approached the cars parked in front of them.
“If it’s any consolation, that middle one is the one I primarily use. I’ll even be kind and allow you to pick that one if you’d like,” the boy says.
Soul looks at each car then turns to Maka.
“I think we’d be better off with the middle one or the one on the right. They seem like they’re the most in shape of the three,” he says.
Maka smirks before turning to the three borderline kishins.
“I want this one here. The one on the left,” she says boldly, pointing towards the far left car. It was worn down and looked like it could fall apart at any moment.
She noticed the boy’s eye twitch when she said this.
“Really? You want that piece of shit? This isn’t a fucking game you know,” he says, his tone growing more aggressive.
“I know a diamond in the rough when I see one!” Maka boasts.
Soul laughs.
“Oh, I see! They’re bluffing, right? They want it to seem like that car is actually garbage, but it has to be the best one out of em, right?”
“I’m. Not. Bluffing! If you aren’t going to take this seriously, then I may as well kill you now!” the boy hisses.
The sisters both put a hand on his shoulder and he seems to calm down some as he takes a deep breath to recuperate.
“I’m being completely serious!” Maka says, her chin held high.
The boy pauses, his eye twitching again before he pulls out a set of keys from his pocket and throws them her way.
“Fine. If you’re so insistent, then you just made this much easier on us,” he says.
Maka catches the keys with ease.
“Alright. Now, I’m not super familiar with street racing. What are the rules?”
The shorter girl hops in this time, seemingly very excited as she pulls out a map from her bag.
“Here’s our route! The goal is to make it back to this alley first without dying or alerting any cops. No one likes when those lil piggies try to stomp on our fun!” She starts. “You can also use any of the shortcuts we have labeled, but they do bring more potential for getting caught, so use them with caution. If you find yourself neck and neck with your opponent, you can use any means of force needed to get ahead, but using your weapon to directly slash tires is a total no-no! Launch rocks, drop nails, break a window in front of them, hook the windows and mirrors, but no direct tire hits!”
She hops over and hands a map to Maka.
“We don’t need one of our own! We know this place like the backs of our hands!”
“Alright, seems simple enough. Let’s go then!” Maka says, walking to the car she chose.
“Fine. We’ll start at the front of this alley. Patty, you’ll count us off, alright?” the boy says to the bubbly girl who’d given them the rules.
“Sure thing!” she says before bouncing off to the street ahead.
Maka enters the beat up car and Soul follows suit. She turns the key in the ignition and though it takes a moment, the car rattles to life.
“It… definitely sounds a bit rough,” Soul remarks.
Maka takes a deep breath and steps on the gas pedal. The car lurches forward, making an awful screeching sound as it does so.
“Maka… are you sure this car was the best pick?” Soul asks.
Maka doesn’t answer. She just pulls up slowly to the street where her opponent is already waiting.
“Hey, Maka, seriously. You do know what you’re doing, right?” Soul asks, watching her carefully.
She still doesn’t answer.
“Oh my god, don’t tell me…” he looks at her face and sees the nerves. “You’re the one who’s been bluffing this whole time?! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Maka, there’s no way in hell we can do this!”
“There’s no way we can back out now, Soul! We can do this. But, maybe I should have picked a different car.”
The girl they now knew as Patty stood between their vehicles at the front. She was holding two flags.
“Alrighty everyone! Let’s get this race started! In 3…”
“Maka, I swear, we can stop right now. Let’s just fight him head on, okay?”
“2!”
“Maka, this car is going to fall apart on us! Just admit your bluff! Choose the other car!”
“1!”
“Do you even know how to drive?!”
“Go!”
Maka floors it, the car sputtering as the engine tries to catch up with it. After a second of revving, the car bursts forward and the two of them pull ahead. Soul looks out the back window and sees Patty jumping through the window of their rival’s car. They hadn’t even hit the gas yet.
“Okay, they’ve got a slow start. We just have to keep ahead. Here’s the map. The first shortcut you have is this first right.”
“‘Kay! Let’s go for it!”
Maka slows down to turn, but soon realizes the biggest mistake of choosing this car.
“Uhh… Soul?”
“Oh god, what is it?”
“This car doesn’t turn.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
He watches as she turns the steering wheel and nothing happens. He glances behind them again to see the others have started to catch up to them.
“Shit! Okay, okay, screw this first shortcut. Keep going straight. This is what we’re gonna do-”
As Soul explains his plan, their rivals pass them.
“I said that car was a mistake!” they called.
“Okay, we’ve gotta speed up. Floor it, and call out which way you wanna turn next okay?” Soul says, trying to ignore the heckling.
“Are you sure that’s safe?” Maka asks as she begins to speed up.
“Is any of this safe? It doesn’t matter right now, we have no other options. Just make sure you stick to rails or trees, alright?”
Maka nods, then proceeds to hit the gas as hard as possible. She launches forward and Soul crawls to the back, transforms his arm into a scythe and then breaks the back window. The sudden pressure change almost launches him out, but he holds on as he stabs a hole through the roof of the car, using his other arm to hold him in place as he crawls out.
“Whenever you’re ready, Maka!” he calls.
“Next post, go left! I have their car in sight!” she yells back.
Just as they pass the next lamppost, Maka slams on the brakes and Soul hooks his arm around it, pulling them around so the car swings to the left. Once the car starts to turn, Maka hits the gas again.
“Oh my gosh, it actually worked! Are you alright, Soul?” Maka calls out.
“All good here!” He responds.
The plan managed to go off without a hitch. They sped up to and past their opponents car.
“What the hell?! Liz, aim for the weapon!” they hear the boy scream as they whiz past.
“On it!” The older girl calls out. “Come on, Patty!”
Soul watches as Patty transforms, and the older one, Liz, reaches out to grab her.
“Holy shit, Maka! They’re guns! We’ve gotta book it! Where’s the next shortcut?”
“Next right!” She yells back to him.
Just as Maka hits the brakes again, Liz shoots, her aim thrown off by the sudden stop. Soul grabs the closest object, and swings them to the right as Maka speeds up again. Their opponent quickly swings into the shortcut and pulls ahead. Liz shoots behind her, shattering the front windshield.
Maka shrieks, but holds strong and keeps pushing forward.
“Maka! Are you alright?” Soul yells.
“I’m fine! Next turn is another right!”
The race goes back and forth like this for a long time. The two opponents trading out places while Liz shoots at different parts of their car and the area around them to slow them down. Soul pushes through the pain in his arm after using all of his strength to swing them around.
“We’re almost to the end! We can do this!” Maka calls out.
Just as they pull onto the final road, Maka calls out again.
“Soul, we have another problem! I think the brakes just went out! This last turn is gonna be at full speed!”
“Just our damn luck. Lord Death owes us big time after this!” Soul yells back.
“No kidding! Alright Soul, next turning point is in 3-”
Soul looks ahead for the closest post to grab and keeps it in his sight.
“2…”
Soul watches their opponents begin their turn into the alley.
“1!”
He reaches out, bracing himself and using all his strength to swing the car into the tight alleyway. There’s a notable ‘pop!’ in his arm as he does so and their car collides with the edge of the other’s. The three rivals shriek as they turn out of control.
“Okay, Soul, we don’t have much time. We gotta evacuate!” Maka says as she abandons the driver’s seat and crawls back towards her weapon partner.
Soul unhooks himself from the car and transforms into his full weapon form. Maka takes a hold of him and just before their car makes impact with the wall, she jumps, tucking, rolling, and jumping away from the huge crash.
As their distance from the accident grows, they see their three rivals standing at the edge of the alley. The boy is completely red in the face.
“You just… destroyed… ALL of our fucking cars!” he yells.
Liz and Patty step forward, trying to calm him down some.
“Hey, Kid, it’ll be alright. None of us are hurt at least, right?” Liz says.
He takes a deep breath, turns away, and punches straight through the window of the car. Everyone is frozen as he takes some heavy breaths. Then, he begins to laugh. It’s quiet at first, and Liz and Patty almost think he’s crying. Until it begins to grow and he’s cackling so loud that it begins to echo. He turns to Maka and Soul, slowly walking towards them as he’s laughing. Maka keeps a defensive stance until he stops in front of her with his hand outstretched.
“My full title is ‘Death the Kid’ but I just go by Kid. That was the most intense race I’ve had in a long time. And you did beat me. So, fine, I’ll stop eating souls. You, on the other hand, have to take me to your boss,” he says.
Maka pauses, giving Kid a blank stare as she processes what he’s said. Slowly, she reaches her hand out and shakes his.
“Alright. If that’s all there is to it, we’ll bring you back with us to the DWMA,” she tells him.
.
.
.
The journey back was a bit rough. Soul’s arm was broken, and even though that had been the most intense injury, everyone was in a lot of pain from being thrown about and cut by glass shards.
When they got to the Death Room, Lord Death greeted them all cheerfully before looking quizzically at Kid.
“Oh my! When I told you that one soul wasn’t human, I figured they were too far gone into becoming a Kishin. I’m surprised you lived to tell the tale going against a reaper.”
“W h a t?!”
Everyone stared at Kid who was in complete shock himself.
“Wait, wait, wait. You mean to tell me that we were in even higher danger than what you told us we were?” Soul asks, his tone growing with aggravation.
“Well, I never doubted that you would be okay and could make the decision to run if it was needed!” Lord Death quips.
“Dude, you better be giving us some kind of compensation for this!” Soul complains.
“Hmmm yes, I suppose that’s only fair. You can take tomorrow off with no penalty and…” Lord Death reaches around his cloaked body and holds out a slip of paper. “Here!”
Maka grabs it and Soul looks over her shoulder. Their faces drop in irritation.
“A 25% off coupon for a medium coffee?” Maka’s voice was flat as she read out what the coupon was.
“It’s good at any Deathbucks in the city! Now, if you don’t mind, I need to talk to Kid alone. I’m sure he’s been very confused about who he actually is and as his father, it’s my job to explain everything that’s happened to him the past 13 years,”
“Father?!”
Still stung by the mediocre compensation, Maka and Soul trudge out of the room without taking any more interest in what Lord Death had to say. Liz and Patty were much more hesitant, but eventually followed suit, catching up with their two new friends.
“You definitely deserve something a bit better than that shitty coupon. How about we all go to lunch tomorrow? It’ll be my treat!” Liz suggests.
“Now that’s more like it!” Soul laughs.
The group walks off together, their bodies aching, but their spirits raised.

If you're still doing the nsfw alfabet
Could u do xvirus/cody pls 😩
My bby gets waaayyy less atention than he deserves
If u don't write for him is ok tho
So, I have a hard time writing for Cody tbh. I almost deleted this, but I have been working on redoing his character because I want to write him again, so please be gentle with me 🙏
CW Warning for Drug Mention and CNC
MINORS/AGELESS BLOGS - DO NOT INTERACT, you will be blocked
Cody NSFW Alphabet
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
Listen, this boy is dragging your ass into a shower hfdsfh. You get a maximum of 5 minutes of cuddling and then he'll just scoop you up with no preamble. He doesn't like feeling dirty 🤭
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
I know this is on a lot of these alphabets, but its true. He loves your hands, he is absolutely the type to hold your hand while you're underneath him, also would love it if you wrapped them around his neck. Also loves your mouth and lips, he might stuff his fingers in your mouth if he feels like it.
On him? He's got really pretty eyes. They're so bright and vivid, almost an electric green. Compliment them and he'll turn pink.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
He's not one to get dirty, but you on the other hand. He definitely would not mind if you wanted him to cum on you, but he also likes to see you swallow for him
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Not a whole lot, except maybe he would like to drug you 👉👈 Just a little bit. Oh wait, and he got one of his nipples pierced on a dare (hint hint, hes sensitive 😜)
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Somewhere in the middle range, He doesn't fuck often, partially due to his job as a proxy for slender, and partially due to his OCD making it difficult to feel comfortable in those scenarios. He's still fucked tho, don't worry lol.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
He prefers to be on top, but he's not too picky. More than likely, he'll pin you against a wall or other surface tbh
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
It depends on how well he knows you, if you're just a fling he's gonna be more strict and less playful. Expect some more dominant behavior and a bit more seriousness.
If he knows you, he's a huge goofball. There will be jokes and play fighting and he'll probably even tickle you to wear you out to mess with you. He's a lot more open and comfortable with you too, but it does take a while for him to get to that point.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Clean and trimmed. He prefers to stay well groomed if he can help it.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
Its like the Goofy one, he'll be more intimate if he knows you better. He can get pretty affectionate if he trusts you, kind of a puppy boy
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
Jacks off a lot lol. Will send you videos if he has permission too. His whole body goes into it too, his toes curl and his back arches and his hips buck.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Honestly some of his kinks are kinda fucked ngl. Drugs and messing around while high are fun cuz it dulls off his anxieties, and CNC stuff is up his alley. But other than that, bondage and blindfolds are fun. He's
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
Definitely not his lab, lol, thats a quick way to get killed. Nowhere public or unsanitary either
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Get him high and he'll get horny. Wear something cute and skimpy and his eyes might follow you for a bit. Honestly though if you just kiss up on him ane run your hands down his chest and ask him if he wants to play he'll drop whatever he's doing and carry you off 😳🥴
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Don't tie his hands up, it fucks with his compulsions and makes him panic. Legs are good to tie up though. Also no touching any of his supplies, going into his lab, or anything relating to his work, he likes very much to keep that separate. No unsanitary stuff too please.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
No preference, he likes to feel good and also likes to make you feel good. Just know that if you go down on him, its gonna be hard for him to control himself 😏
P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
He likes to go a bit slower so he can savor the act but if you want him to go faster or harder, well, who is he to deny? 🤷♂️
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Honestly he'll be more down for a quickie than a full session. His boss is slender, he is very busy. Quickies are perfect 😌
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Not as open. It can mess with his anxiety a lot sometimes, but if he trusts you he's more likely to sway to a yes.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
Hes p okay with stamina, he can go a couple rounds and then he'll be more than happy to lay back and let you ride him if you wanna keep going. Or you can let him eat you out, he doesn't care really 😏
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Oh yeah. He's got a couple pretty glass dildos and he stole a hitachi from someone 🤭. If you ask him nicely he'll fuck himself on one for you, but you can only watch.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Honestly, he's kinda dense lol. He will not notice if you are teasing him unless you make it very obvious. Likewise, he's not the best with teasing, because most of the time he's just genuinely being affectionate
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Not too loud but vocal. Kind of a chatter box lol, dirty talks and teases. You can get him talking and then do something with your hips and listen as he dissolves into moans and groans.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Switch leaning dom, but will always be a top. You'd have to talk him into bottoming, but you probably could. He just gets nervous doing stuff like that with other people. Raging bisexual. Gets a wee bit obsessed with people he cares a lot about so watch out for that.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
I'm running out of ways to describe dicks hwjshdjjed. Somewhere between 6.5 and 7 inches, long but thinner, a slight curve up, uncut. Please start asking about afab creeps lol
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
Not a super high sex drive. He still likes to fuck, its just not a priority most of the time. Work usually is the priority.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Its a trust thing. If he trusts you, he'll let himself fall asleep with you, if he doesnt then he'll just leave for the night. No biggie.

6? 22? Any other number you wanted to answer?
6- i dont have any stim toys, ive never really delved into that stuff, i was never really given the chance to explore stuff that would help me out with stimming and such. I also dont think i would like stim toys? Maybe i just have to try some but idk.
22- idk any specific songs i stim to. But ive stimmed while listening to mcr, and honestly i just stim to alot of the general songs i listen to. I really like singing along, i think thats a stim of mine, and some songs just listening to them is like stimming (anything with drums and/or guitars)
2- i like blankets a lot. Even if im hot and dont really need one, ill subconsciously grab the blanket on the couch and put it on my lap, and on my bed. There was one day i grabbed a pocket-sized beanie baby and put itin my hoodie pocket, and just knowing it was there made me happy. Also when i was with my friends one of them stuck their hands in my pocket and i panicked and like moved it out of their reach bc i was scared to get made fun of lol, it ended up being fine. I sleep with stuffed animals a lot. I think thats it
3- my school experiences were,,, not fun at all. Theres a lot to unpack there. My schools all had this thing called a “504 plan” or whatever. And it’s supposed to help people with certain disorders/disabilities. Mine only acknowledged my adhd as far as i know. Maybe my anxiety too. Some of the things that were supposed to ‘help’ were moving me to the front of the room, i got extended time to complete stuff (supposedly), extended time on certain tests (which i only saw on the act, literally i got no other extended time to do anything else. And after i got extended time on the act my scores shot up. Imagine the potential if i was given my actual extended time shit) and the meetings were hell. They started to have meetings with me in middle school, sixth grade i think. Having an administrator there, and my parents, and at least one teacher was terrifying to me. I think i cried every meeting. Honestly it felt like an interrogation to me, esp with all the damn eye contact and shit. My dad asked me if i wanted to continue it this year and i was immediately like fuck no nuh uh not happening. And whether or not I actually needed to be in the front of the room depended on the class, teacher, the people in there, but a lot of the time i would just be moved to the front and i would hate it. In eighth grade my math teacher moved me from the back of the room (a favorite seat in that class) to the front of the room in the middle of class for like a week. It was honestly humiliating and the only time i was eventually able to express my opinion on the 504 shit. Actually my freshman math teacher did that too. Ahaha moving on now before this gets too long.
4/5- three negative and positive things about being autistic.
Pros-
(1) i dont really have a chance to not have a hobby. Ive always got an interest to keep me entertained and i like that.
(2) stimming is nice, i like it, im not afraid to let myself stim. Makes me feel better.
(3) im unique and shit. I have a different pov than other people and that allows me to have different ways of thinking. I think outside the box ig. I also have this weird version of confidence and objectivity that I appreciate in myself
Cons-
(1) its hard to feel like i belong somewhere, bc im so different. Im getting better at it but im not good at getting close to people.
(2) i also like,, dont have certain permanence? Like object permanence? A lot of the time i dont really miss things/people unless im somewhere that reminds me of them. Idk if it’s negative really but its something,, even a spin, like bts, i dont really miss them that much until i do. Theyre still very important to me but yeah
(3) people dont really get me the same way other people get other people. And its hard for me to explain it to people. And theres certain people i get more than others. Its weird.
7- people need to give autistics a chance to be heard. Apply the accommodations you “give” them. Dont put them in the spotlight and give them space when needed. We are what you might call “picky” too. Eating, learning, socializing, we have our own things we need to be able to do shit. Learn them. Let us stim. Encourage us to learn about ourselves and remind us that youre there for us. But dont try to help us unless we ask or we actually need help. Dont trigger meltdowns on purpose, stop using the r word even in passing like its not a big deal. Be more than aware of us, accept us, appreciate us. Dont be a bystander.
8- i dont have much experience with meltdowns? I think? If i have i didnt have chances to recover. I had to go back to class or something. Idk how to recognize them in me either.
10- showering. Thats a big thing that even though i kinda need i forget to do. Except during school. I had a whole routine in the morning and i was super punctual. If i didnt shower i would be late, miss the bus, forget something.
12- meat. The way it feels. Disgusting. How do people eat it and not feel like dying? Same with lettuce. Spinach is fine but every time i try to eat lettuce I almost throw up. Bell peppers, pickles, vinegar, mayo, eggs usually, cheese sometimes. Just off the top of my head. One time i tried putting lettuce on my burger, was feeling adventurous, and after biting down i had to just take the lettuce off. Another time, my stepmom (newly married to my dad) made slads for us, and i was skeptical. There was white stuff all over the salad and she wouldnt tell me what it was. I tried eating a little carrot stick thing and almost vomited. Thats when she learned I cannot eat mayo. Even if idk that its mayo i still cant fuckin eat it. She forced me to eat bell peppers one time. Didnt go well at all. At all.
(Not gonna do the spin one bc ive already talked about them and if i do again itll be too long)
15- yes! I only do big stuff(?)(like yelling n shit) when im completely alone. Like if im home alone. Bc i get so loud. Sometimes ill hum in my room or sing to myself in my room though. Its so fun. As for phrases i repeat, ill repeat anything i find interesting. In a movie or song, or even something a friend said. One time my mom said the phrase “tough titty said the kitty but the milks still good” and i went around the kitchen repeating it until she got annoyed. Also sometimes something in the room will have a constant sound and ill like think a phrase to that sound repeatedly. Idk how to explain it lol. Idk if thats echolalia either
16- rocks. Typical i know, collecting rocks. But i just cant help it. I see a rock i like, i pick it up, take it home. I used to collect sticks. And when i was in elementary school, i used to pick shit up off the playground. Beer bottle caps was a favorite. Apparently the school called my mom about it bc they found my stash and thought it was from home and my parents were drinking excessively. 😬 oops
18- introverted?
19- kinda depends. Idk. I really cant tell wow. I would probably say hypersensitive. Just cause i have a ton of sensory issues and a lot of stuff bothers me. Like types of clothes. And how things are resting on my body. Yeah i guess i am hypersensitive.
20- i used to struggle with self love a lot. And sometimes i still kinda do. But in the past few years ive really started appreciating myself and trying to learn a lot about myself. Its going well id say.
21- empathy. Hmm. I think im very empathetic, actually. I can always tell when someone is feeling uncomfortable in a situation. And when i should tell people to back off of them if they wont say it themselves. And im very uncomfortable when theres secondhand embarrassment. And bullying, in something im watching or reading. Yknow, I actually cant watch mean girls. I just. I tried, i had to walk away bc I couldn’t take it. It also kinda triggers me so theres that. Bc of the bullying. But yeah im very empathetic. Otherwise socially im not good at that.
23- nope. Ive got like no support system other than tumblr and online friends. Apparently my dad refused to acknowledge im autistic and hes my favorite parent. Thats his big flaw though. And if i “came out” to him and said it myself he would probably come around. I know hes not completely nt either. My Opa has ocd, so nuerodiversity runs in the family ig.
While making this i got distracted and went on insta for like an hour oops lol
24- steampunk cosplay? Or college dorm tips? The steampunk one was freshman year, and the college dorm one was fifth grade. It lasted well into sixth grade and seventh grade.

hiii
hello! these types of questions are great don’t worry! everyones different but yeah, let me tell you about my writing process :) (this is a long ass writing rant and hopefully it’s helpful)
so for headcanons tbh, i just write them. like. i sit down and write it all in one go and tbh not much thought goes into them there isnt really a plot it’s just notes practically so headcanons for me are not difficult at all. fics/oneshots are where things actually heat up.
so for my fics i do note form outlines. what this means is i have all the major things that have to happen already lined out. i put it on a word doc on half my screen and the fic on the other and there’s no plan on how to get to each note point but i know i have to get there somehow, but having basic goals makes it easier for me.
when it comes to fics there’s usually a brainstorming process. i have two wonderful amazing loves of my absolute life @hereforlukescruff and @glitterprincelu and usually it will start with me saying an idea and we all just kind of start shooting ideas and bouncing off of each other. this process can take hours. like. i remember when i came up with gang luke (penumbra) i was in class and we ended up chatting about it for 3 hours and coming up with shit. when the main brainstorm is done i plot it all out. i have a few ocd tendencies, one of which is linear stuff means a lot to me. like i can’t start a fic at the end. i need to start at the start. so i’ll plan as much as i can but sometimes i stop at the middle and i re-evaluate once i get there and have a better sense as to where the story is going.
for me, characters are huge. like. i have the plot points but characters drive everything else. so i’ll often have a sit down and reevaluate what has happened to them and how they’re feeling and see if it’s all making sense for them, but, because i brainstorm a lot, usually i don’t end up changing much. strong characters are key my dudes.
my biggest motivator to get to the end of the story is well, the characters. i love them so much and writing for them feels so comforting to me. LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS. but also. something ya’ll gotta understand about me is that i’ve been writing fan fiction for 8 years. i’ve probably spent an average of 2 hours a day (and that’s seriously low balling it) so thats 2x365=730x8=5840 hours that i’ve written and that’s probably too low to be accurate. so i’m a writer. i type fast as fuck and i’ve been doing this a while so writing comes very easy to me, ideas are constantly flowing. this is legit what im pursuing as a job so don’t be discouraged if you can’t write 10k in a day like I do because... well, i’ve had a fuck ton of practice. writing 10k in a day is pretty common for me i’d say, once i sit down with a oneshot i don’t want to leave until it’s done.
but. i also again, have a bit of an ocd thing and when it’s paired with anxiety, it makes it hard for me to stop. i need to get things done. to check stuff off my list. or i get bored. if i leave a fic for even a day or two, it’s likely i’m not gonna finish it. so for me, and i know this, its important to wait until i have a sufficient amount of time to bust something out and a plan makes it so easy because i don’t have to stop and ask myself “okay now what”
what more can i say about writing.... uh... characters. so important. dialogue. key.
like i’ll start a fic with a general idea about an OC but as the fic continues they grow and i really enjoy watching them grow. i think a good rule of thumb if you’re having troubles with this is immerse the story view point in the most solid character you have (i’ll give an example of this in a moment) and use their perspective and musings on a different character, like what they notice, to promote growth.
example of what i mean when i say this. i recently wrote prince cal and from the start, he was my strong character. Ostara was new, she’s ashton’s sister, she’s back for the first time in a while. the very first paragraph establishes that calum is taken aback by how much she’s changed. there’s still some similarities to how she was growing up and i weave that comfort of the known throughout the story (with things like chicken fights in the pool or musing about how they used to play hide and seek as kids) but from the start, Calum is knocked off his feet by how beautiful she’s gotten and that’s a very obvious symbol of change, not just outside but in. so as the fic continues calum notices things about ostara. for example. the second time i wrote she was wearing a print of some sort, calum and i both mutually realized, ‘huh. she likes prints i guess.’ because ostara is ostara, i dont control her, in my brain she’s her own person, she’s dictating whats happening and baby just likes prints. and calum notices which says something about him, but its also little details like that that bring these characters to life.
i mean. i don’t know how other people write characters. my characters are always alive to me. they have their own voice and knowing their reaction to things is second nature to me. but this can be attributed to the fact that i legit wrote fan fiction about actual characters (MCU, TVD, Teen Wolf, etc...) for 6 years and being able to step into those characters and do dialogue that seemed legit was the most important thing for me. so i have a FUCK TON of experience on characters. so once again, if its hard for you to step into your characters thats okay. maybe do those things where you have a fill in the blank sheet on whats their fav food, their fav colour, do they like summer or winter? etc....
i think there isnt one way to write. i think i’m blessed that i’ve ALWAYS been a writer. since i was like 4. you know in elementary when they made you write and they’d give you those little booklets and shit? other kids had like one or two at most but this whore was always on book number 6 or 7 like, im a writer. it’s what i am. it always has been what i am.
im also a multitasker. so most of my writing is done while watching shows. which means its a double whammy for me. like. im learning about characters and plot WHILE writing so... as you can see, i’m hard core as fuck about this shit.
my point is. my process is a process that i think is pretty particular to me. most people i know cant watch tv and write at the same time. most people don’t sit down and bust out 10k in one sitting. and thats fine. if you enjoy writing then do it. focus on what you can be doing better, this isnt a competition. at the end of the day, the only person you should be trying to be better than is the person you were yesterday, or last week, you know?
find people who are creatively inclined because holy shit it makes a huge difference. bouncing ideas off of supportive people is really important. without my friends, Birdie in Penumbra might be named Cherry, the Gang AU wouldn’t have an ending all planned out and ready to be written, and i would have missed out on so many hours of face time calls and back and fourth messages with two of the most important people in my life right now.
so lets break down what the fuck i’m even saying
-find supportive people (but it’s important you support them as well. if they’re gonna let you throw ideas at them and help you out and pump you up, reciprocate hoe)
-focus on yourself
-find what you’re good at. plots? characters? dialogue?
-find ways to strengthen the things you’re not so good at (character fill in sheets, plot planning, etc...)
-find what, at the end of the day, really works for you
-don’t put pressure on yourself. writing is for fun. it should be fun. and if it is fun, i think motivation will come easy? but i could be wrong, once again, i have an addictive personality and writing is a fix i need every day or i go insane.
yeah. if ya’ll have any more writing questions let me know. i love answering these because i think it’s so interesting to really look at the process :)

I also have another, much larger portable charger, also by Anker, that gives about 6 phone charges and has multiple USB charging ports. Hehehe I never considered myself unusually obsessive about my phone battery before - I just assumed this was what everybody did...
eveiya
replied to your post
“csevet replied to your post “csevet replied to your post “Got my...”
I recommend a portable charger to help with phone battery stress - I have a lipstick-sized one by Anker which gives a bit more than one full battery's worth. It's another thing to carry but that doesn't bother me because I carry asthma inhalers and stuff anyway so I always have a biggish bag.
I have toyed with getting one of those for ages, but most of the time, when it strikes me to be obsessive, I have an outlet nearby. The only time it’s been a big stressor is when in the yurt, I would always be obsessively trying to find places to plug in before I went out for the night, and I kept thinking, I should get one of those battery pack things-- but I didn’t, and I don’t need it now. I still might, they’re so cheap now, but I also worry that I’d then develop some sort of obsessive worry about ensuring that the battery bank was fully charged? ??? ??? I can see myself doing that.
I wanted to get one that could power my laptop but that seems to be like, some next-level shit-- it goes up in price A LOT and the reviews are all over the place.
The other thing I’m weird about is that it’s, like, the end of the world to have to move a charging cable. I like to plug them in and leave them, it’s a huge ordeal for some reason for me to move one, say, from the living room to the sunporch if I’m going out there to sit, or if I’m going to spend time in the bedroom-- if my laptop battery isn’t charged and i’d have to move the charger, it’s somehow An Unsolvable Situation and I’ll wind up sitting somewhere I don’t want to be just because that’s where the power charger is. That, I can’t explain, but The Struggle is Real; my brain really seems to think that moving a power charger is The Worst Fate. And I’ll get, like, upset if my dude does it-- like, instead of asking me for the charger, he’ll go unplug his from wherever it is and plug it in next to mine. I mostly manage to keep my mouth shut and not let on how much that, inexplicably, Bugs Me, because I am aware that there is literally no reason for that to bug me in any way at all. (Unless you want to try to delve deep and unpack whether it’s maybe my feelings of inadequacy that if I can’t provide convenience with my generosity then I’m no good as a human, or something? I mean, I’m not gonna lie, feeling the absolute requirement to do people favors is something that I cannot overcome sometimes, but I don’t know if I can really extend it to power cords. For better or worse, I’m often not at all accomodating to my dear and long-suffering dude, who really deserves better, but instead throw myself into fits trying to be sweet to relative strangers. It’s a bummer. I give up trying to figure out what my deal is with power cords.)
csevet replied to your post “csevet replied to your post “csevet replied to your post “Got my...”
oh my god, yes, thats EXACTLY what SO does??? we'll be sitting on the couch playing on our phones as millenials will do, and he'll be like, oh, i guess i should plug in, it's at three percent, and im like YOU HAVE BEEN HOME FOR FIVE HOURS???? WHY. (on 'it's not ocd', there is a thing called obsessive compulsive tendencies, which my brother has, and jokes that it's because Nothing I Do Is Ever Disordered, Thanks.
LOL that’s probably what my deal is, then. I am often moved by compulsions that I know are irrational and unnecessary, and so I can fairly easily disregard them, so clearly it’s not actually OCD; I was taught that any of that stuff only counts as a disorder if it impairs your daily life.
I dunno, i feel some of it pretty fiercely, but the only thing that keeps me from living the life I want is what I’m assuming is ADHD. That shit can die in a fire.

i admittedly think about my akoiromanticism more than i do my greyromanticism, and i think thats bc its a lot more hard-set and easy to explain than my greyromanticism and a lot more... to the point? like instead of thinking out the whole sentence, my brain is only on repeat for the end of it, "...and even when i DO experience romantic attraction, i can't date, which is seen as THE expression of romantic attraction, so all in all romance just doesnt have much payoff or is worth the effort to me, and THATS why i id as aromantic!"
but i'm still very excited when i see the greyro flag included in posts instead of like, the demisexual flag and thats It for aspec but-not-just-aromantic-and-asexual identities, and am mentally cheering us on every time i see it (imagine me cheering for u if u wanna, other greyro ppl :P!), and still suuuuuuuuper think arospec discussion centers Heavily on just never experiencing romantic attraction and never caring abt it at all, which is fair and im not like Mad about it cause you dont really have anywhere else you can have that, ....but i really do feel like there isnt as much room or acknowledgement of the nuance and varying in aroSpec identities and experiences and feelings etc. even when we do experience romantic attraction its not the same as an alloro person would, and when we aren't it doesn't mean we're Biding Our Time for the Next Crush cause we're Secretly Alloro, it means!! we're arospec!!!!!! i wish there was a chance for more discussion of experiencing romantic attraction in an arospec way, and experiencing total lack of romantic attraction when romantic attraction is still a thing that can happen, etc
#rambling.txt#as always dont take what i say here as a word for word exact guide on what i honestly mean cause wording is hard XD#but anyway i wanna post abt aroSpec stuff more cause that and allosexuality while being arospec#was what i needed the most when i was questioning/coming to terms with my aromanticism#i think it can be good for questioning ppl cause if ur like 'well im not sure if i do or not'#or 'well i might be but what about that one person when i was 14' etc etc#cause if you are genuinely really hung up over That One Person When You Were 14 you arent gonna see like#'signs youre aromantic; you experience no romantic attraction you never understood romance or dating or marriage you n-'#and That Alone with no elaboration or even Mention of ANYTHING at ALL inbetween 'absolute total absence of romance always everywhere'#and 'literally alloro lol'#is like.... not gonna help you a lot lol. but maybe thats just the ocd talking cuz i would not dare Touch an identity-#-if i didnt absolutely 101% know i for sure Could fit the definition of it instead of just Generally Vibing With It

Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning~! Today we are discussing Suriska by Claire Burn~! (http://suriskacomic.com/) For those new or in need of a reminder, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer, and you can pay them no mind if you wish. If you miss out on any though, they’ll be pinned for the duration of the chat once they’re posted~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! As a bonus, each chat a top comment will be picked and featured in the archives and on an ad for CTP! All that being said, let’s get started and have a great discussion!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I really liked Freyja checking the stove multiple times, I laughed out loud since it's something I've always done when leaving the house.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yes that was a moment i connected with too. not that ive really checked the stove but ive had to deal with other similar issues of checking things a dozen times. im glad for the timing of that too cause it really helped explained why corin going missing got to her so much
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Hello there! I’ll be there in a bit, currently AFK for the time being!
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
kay~!
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I've really enjoyed learning more about Freya as a character too, I feel like there's a lot of depth beneath her that we're just starting to uncover
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yeah. there are a lot of interesting elements to her character. mostly because i hmm why shes in the town. like corin is understandable because corin's anxiety is a bit more debilitating. whereas freya seems completely functional and yet somehow stuck
i think my favorite scene is less a scene is the one where freya busts into johann's place and just doesnt say anything. shows him the picture and hes like "well shit ive been found out."
🌟Draco Plato🌟
OH! I liked that too, it also added more layers to the story. And yeah, overall I find Corin a simpler character since it's pretty clear why he is the way he is and his debilitating anxiety, etc
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
another scene i like for its effect on the story itself is the story about the origin of the snow. i really liked that it gave the town a sort of history, even if it might be a fictional and fantastical one XD
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Yeah I did think that was really good for expanding the lore of the story~!
wishjacked
I have a really strong love/hate relationship with the scene where the old man at the train station recognizes Corin and asks about his parents. It's really funny in the most painful way imaginable
And I like Freya a lot!! I'm interested to see where her character goes-- I think there are a lot of hints that she's not as functional as she appears at first, and I'm interested to see where that goes haha
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Oh same!!
Omg that scene at the train station, that old man was ridiculously awful in his questions, from bad to worse
felt so bad for Corin
wishjacked
Like the oven thing was funny, but weirdly drawn out compared to a lot of other jokes, and she also has that scene in the bathroom where she has this weird, disjointed cause-and-effect logic that because she left the soap out, it caused something totally unrelated and bad to happen. I've wondered if those things have some deeper meaning to her character or world lol
Me too, I was dyyyyiiiiiing for that whole scene
🌟Draco Plato🌟
same, same, I feel like there's something to delve into there behind her little ticks
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
that is true. the stove thing i get, but the soap out did throw me for a loop. so its a good point that her problems may go a bit deeper. albeit shes at least not so tormented shes staying home all day. i imagine it takes her like an hour to actually leave her house though
that old man scene though, man, i erased that from my memory
it just made me so uncomfortable
like old man where is your human decency O_O
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeeeeah, like geezus 0 sympathy for the poor kid
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yeah. i mean youd think corin just told him the weather was not so great, not that his parents died tragically O_O
🌟Draco Plato🌟
altho there was a part of me that thought as a writing choice that was low hanging fruit for showing his anxiety heightened and why he has it and I thought that maybe it could have been added in more strategically than so forced
but that was more my thought on a writing analysis viewpoint
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
tbf i actually wondered if that was the true dialogue and if we were getting an unreliable narrator effect going. like the old man was actually being nicer but corin's anxiety translated the words to something else.
http://suriskacomic.com/62.html
especially after that scene it makes me feel that inclination stronger
wishjacked
oh, that's a very interesting thought!!
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I did wonder that too Rebel!
wishjacked
Honestly I took the scene at face value bc I straight up am that old man. and thaaaaaaaaaaaat's why I have no friends XD
🌟Draco Plato🌟
LOL!!!
wishjacked
there tends to be a really strong "unreliable narrator" feeling in general-- beyond Corin's anxiety rewriting speech bubbles, Freya's narration is just snarky enough that I'm not quite sure exactly how biased she is in her representation of her town and etc
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
hmm im not sure i got that representation from freya. her items i took more at face value. that being said, i do think shes suffers from a sort of complex in how she sees herself? like she got super pissed about johann not trusting her and thinking she couldnt handle the secret and what not, and something about it struck me as kind of odd. tho i couldnt put a finger on what
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I was surprised how agreeable she was to covering up for an affair
and how nonchalant she was about it, since that's a rather big deal
it made me wonder where she lies on a morality line
which i thought was intriguing
cause my first assumption is she'd be very anti it so it went against my expectations which i like
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
that is also true. not to mention its a very risky secret to keep. the about page says this towns population is 150. and small towns of that size generally make it hard to keep secrets of that level
🌟Draco Plato🌟
right! So I'm interested where that story route will go
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
QUESTION 2. Throughout the comic we see the portrayal of mental illnesses, from Corin’s anxiety to Freya’s OCD tendencies. Was there any aspect of their portrayal you particularly connected with? Why? Do you think Corin and Freya will be able to learn to cope with their illnesses better? If so, what do you think has to happen for them to be able to get a better handle on life? Particularly in the case of Corin, what do you foresee as potential conflicts he’ll have to face in regards to his anxiety, and do you think he’ll triumph over them?
as for the first question
once again http://suriskacomic.com/62.html
that page
ive been there. where no matter what people are actually telling you all you hear is how worthless you are. not fun times. and i thought that was really a lovely way to illustrate it. the sudden change in color schemes really sets the mood. and the messy handwriting for corin's added thoughts really i think emphasis the volitile nature of them
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah I felt that was relatable as well(edited)
to a much smaller degree than what Corin has though, but I've been there with crippling anxiety before
My hope is that by the end of the story he'll have learned to cope with it but I could see the creator not taking that direction as well
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
itd be a shame if corin didnt learn better coping mechanisms though. :< like, what a horrid life to live with such anxiety. not to mention from the sounds of it corin moved there to change himself, so hes not gonna be changing himself if that happens. granted i dont expect him to ever be fully "cured" (for lack of a better word). just still, itd be nice if he could go outside or open the door without thinking about how people secretly all hate him or something.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I do think he needs to change for it to be a compelling story arc for him
cause a lack of progression in his condition would just be overly sad especially with the background he came there to change
but if the change character is Freya and not Corin I could see the story not helping Corin in his condition
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yeah thats true. and tbh im not sure corin is in the right place to change as far as his anxiety goes. im really torn about that. cause on the one hand being able to go to a remote location could be a good mental break. but on the otherhand it can also worsen the anxiety. however corin progresses.
im interested to see how corin handles being on a train
cause thats not really a place where you can actively avoid people in super close proximity
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I think there's also a small chance Corin could be the "antagonist" of the story
if he flips out to such a degree
that it hurts those around him
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
alrighty, I'm here at last
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
hi super~!
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Hi Rebel! Thanks again for doing the CTP
Before I jump in I want to say I like the winter aesthetics of this comic.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
corin is kind of the antagonist. he did hide that letter. which is...like i get he doesnt want to go but he didnt need to deprive freya of the reunion. hes an adult so she technically cant tell him what to do.
yeah its really nice to see a winter setting, especially one where ppl are actively dressed for it
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
^
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah i like the winter aesthetic too, and yeah that really made me question Corin on the morality line, that he hid the letter from her just because he wasn't sure if he wanted to go or not. It made me feel he was super self absorbed and doesn't consider his actions and their affect on other people
also who was he mailing the letter to in the most recent page?
it had a sinister feel to it the way it was portrayed
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
considering he was looking at a magazine catalogue thing that had a thing that looked like a radio for 19.99, i assume he was mailing a letter that said "plz give me this product"
🌟Draco Plato🌟
oh! was that it, i didn't notice, I wonder why it was made to feel like such a big deal then panel and tone wise
I guess it could have been done that way because of him over hearing the conversation too
I just didn't think it was that relevant to him since he wouldn't have known the tickets were for him and Freya
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
well to be fair the next page may directly say "these are for the farthas so they can go to their reunion" and then corin may be all gasp
i kind of thought the tone was sinister too although i assumed that was an artistic choice to express corin's anxiety. cause when you arent a fan of people, going out where there are people is probably gonna be a sinister undertaking
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah, maybe the next page will piece it together better, that could change a lot. I think if his anxiety was the focus there'd have been more focus panel wise on his expressions and less on the letter and mail box
I was actually surprised it didn't focus on his anxiety more
since it seemed like him going there would be a big deal
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
thats true. on a side note and kind of off topic, i like the pattern on corin's hat. like i think its just a really nice detail.
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
>On Page 59 >Chills at around -20 Is that in F or C
🌟Draco Plato🌟
probably F since the creator is from the US
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Holy Christ
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
QUESTION 3. Suriska may be a small town, but plenty trouble seems to be afoot even so. Do you think Corin will ever hear the end of the whole town going out to look for him? Do you think Corin will be able to maintain employment, or will his employer eventually let him go? In regards to Freya who discovered Johann’s affair, do you think she’ll actually be able to keep the secret? If so, do you think she might take advantage of knowing it since she already got free train tickets out of it? Do you think there are any other shadowy things happening within the town? Regardless, do you think being in the town will help Freya or Corin change perspectives on their life? If so, how can this particular town help? Alternatively, do you think the town is actually making their individual ruts worse?
well it is a winter town. those temps are expected
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
A part of me feels sorry for Corin.
also yea
He just looks like the guy that goes through a lot
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I bet something spooky happens because it's a small town, small town stories generally like to focus on the spooky
someone will die or something supernatural will happen
O_O
also it seems like the witches will be proven to be real or something since it had such a long introduction of importance
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
twist: the winter story was true and corin is gonna run into a fox and corin will bring more winter
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
omg Page 68 tho
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah, omg yeah that's probably it rebel
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
and the stuff about an affair
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I feel like the fox/witch story had such a long focus was because it's going to become a big part of the story
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Now that you mention it, maybe(edited)
🌟Draco Plato🌟
also the guy in the story looked a bit like Corin
so i feel there's a connection there
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
mmm
I smell foreshadowing
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i actually got the opposite impression. i cannot see the fox/witch story becoming part of this story in its current course. cause that was the only moment where anything remotely supernatural was even mentioned. and since the rest of this comic is so ingrained in real life issues, it would just be too out of the blue to me to bring it up again
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
what if that was only part of the story
and there's a continuation
of sorts later on(edited)
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I do think the supernatural turn would actually be unwelcomed since that's very common and I prefer it being rooted in reality for what it has been so far. Buuuut small town stories, they love to go into the supernatural and that was a long focus on the fox story
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
still would doubt that. cause again, its delving into the supernatural where 90% of the rest of the comic has nothing supernatural about it.
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Maybe the story could have some kind of greater meaning
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I've read a lot of comics before that have turned supernatural though in the middle
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
rather than just connecting Corin to it
🌟Draco Plato🌟
so it wouldn't be that strange
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
also yea
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i did think the focus was long, but it can come up in other ways. like maybe corin will use the story as an inspiration to go on a journey. thats more realistic
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah it definitely could be used in other ways
I'd rather see the story be an emotional journey for the characters without the use of a supernatural trope
but again I don't think it'd be uncommon for it to go there
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I'll say I'm for the emotional journey part(edited)
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I mean Corin could also just flip out and start murdering people saying he is the fox or something
the story is pretty wide open atm
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
true. i mean maybe the supernatural will come up. i cant really even say this is the middle of the story cause who knows how long its going to be. for all i know were still technically in the beginning.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Maybe Corin doesn't want to go on the train so he runs away into the woods and he meets the fox
and then he goes on a journey with the fox
and freya has to find him
and then he gets over his anxiety by realizing he still has freya left or something
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yes that could be a possibility. the story couldve just been there to be there. add to that winter lore
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Maybe the fox could be Corin hallucinating or imagining it(edited)
and it speaks with him
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Fox could be the manifestation of his anxiety
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
^^^
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i do think the story is going to go the route where corin has to leave the town. imho i dont think the town is helping him at all atm. especially freya cause shes kind of an enabler of just letting him laze about the home. like....hes 21 and she treats him like hes a teen or younger. and i personally think those conditions make it hard for him to grow.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah I agree, Freya is an enabler since she doesn't require him to do anything to help around the house or anything
so it breeds stagnation
He needs to make an emotional journey alone most likely
cause the demons are first and foremost inside himself
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
yes.
at the very least if he stays in town everyone will constantly remind him about how he ran away and the whole town searched
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
cause man did that town look excited about it XD
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I'm thinking he migrates to someplace a bit warmer
if I had anything to say
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah, omg Like geezus this town(edited)
he'd be lucky to go somewhere warmer, lolol
oh you asked about if he'd lose his job or not, I actually thought it was amazing he even had a job with his level anxiety. Was legit shocked by that XD(edited)
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
lol
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
im confused a bit by the geography of this town. in the sense is this town just experiencing winter atm or is it like eternal winter.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
same
I couldn't tell if the curse made it an all year thing or just seasonal
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
which is what i thought the point of the fox/witch story was more. to create something about the seasons
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah if there was a concrete answer regarding it i missed it
but it makes a huge difference
cause if there really is a curse and it's an all year thing than that already puts the supernatural in
if it's related to the curse that is, and not just hey we're winter all year cause of geography, etc
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
for some reason the town really reminds me of alaska
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Me too
I thought it would be someplace in Canada
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I was thinking more of sweden or switzerland
based on their haircuts and clothes
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
but Alaska was what came into my mind first
the clothes looked more Russian to me
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
was skimming the beginning for clues, theres a magical thumb that covers the location
so im gonna assume it doesnt matter
maybe its symbolic
suriska the town is a state of mind
🌟Draco Plato🌟
lolol
i'mma assume it's fictional until otherwise stated
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea(edited)
Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨
(It might be estonian, based on the fact that they mention Kalavinski which... is a giant rubber boot in estonian apparently)
🌟Draco Plato🌟
a wild Kabo appears
Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨
Only briefly!
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
eey Kabo! o/
also lol, is that really a thing?
🌟Draco Plato🌟
okay yeah that adds up with their clothes
Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨
But yeah, I was figuring northwest Europe somewhere. Originally I'd thought Nordic, but Estonia makes sense too.
erm, northeast.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
norway would make sense too cause of her name
Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨
............ directions, man, what are they even
Right?!
🌟Draco Plato🌟
like duuur why didn't i connect that even thought it earlier
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
My mind will forever think
some kind of cross between Alaska and Russia(edited)
🌟Draco Plato🌟
so the name Corin is Irish
that doesn't help
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
fartha is also an irish name?
well assume europe
thats good enough
🌟Draco Plato🌟
somewhere in europe, yus
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea Europe sounds good
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
in regards to corin's job, it does sound like its a pity job so his performance may not matter
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah i like when that was brought up cause it made it make more sense to me
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
tho i wonder if he's 1) getting paid and 2) contributing to household utilities and such
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
^
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
QUESTION 4. At the beginning of the comic, Freya forcefully declares that she and Corin will be going to a family reunion, whether Corin actually wants to go or not. Do you think Freya will actually get Corin to go, or will Corin magically vanish come time to leave? If Corin doesn’t go, will Freya go alone? If they do both manage to go, do you think the reunion will go well? What do you think in general will happen at the reunion? Speaking of which, what do you think the other members of the family will think of Corin? Do you think something at the reunion will make Corin have a new perspective on his parents’ death? If there is no reunion, how do you think this will affect Freya and Corin’s relationship with their family?
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Hmmm
I think Corin would make some excuse to go and just
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I bet we don't see the reunion, lolol
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
stay on the side
🌟Draco Plato🌟
and corin will run off and freya will have to find him
cause I think it's unlikely the story will shift away from the small town
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
idk i feel like the reunion is a potential future still. albeit i consider the liklihood of corin actually going to be slim
i could see freya just going "fine whatever stay here by yourself"
and then she goes to the reunion
🌟Draco Plato🌟
since the small town is mentioned so predominately in the about Is why i think they're going to stay there
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
unless his personality takes a full 180 by then
🌟Draco Plato🌟
cause the town is itself a character
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Is that so?
🌟Draco Plato🌟
"Suriska: population 150. It's neither Freya nor Corin's definition of paradise, but it is their home... if you could call it that. Apparently it's where you end up if you try to change your life for the better. What does it take to get out of this rut? It might take spite, it might take snowstorms, or it might just take a reevaluation of your morals."
ALTHOUGH
"A slice-of-life comic about trains, bad weather, and insecurities."
that's the tagline
which makes me think they'll get on the train and get in a bad snowstorm and get stranded, lolol
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Hmm
Why do i keep thinking Corin should just do photos of the snow and mountains for a living
with a camera
and store all the photos somewhare
like to give people a taste of what life looks like up north(edited)
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i dont forsee that working. it doesnt look like the town really has many electronics of any sort. like theyre still using landlines
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
also yea
you do have a point
🌟Draco Plato🌟
plus making a living as an artist isn't the easiest thing, lol
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
double-point taken
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
just cause they go to a reunion doesnt mean they cant come back. and you can still make the town predominant if the characters talk about it. like i imagine freya's family has lots to ask about it. so in that context it still makes the story part of it. but man, i bet you if freya did go to the reunion she would tell her sister with the foot thing all about johann's affair. make it even thinking nobody will ever meet
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I wonder what time era this takes place in, or if the residents deliberately don't use much electricity in case the power goes out or something and it'd be hard to repair
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Personally I'd like them to go to the reunion, i think it'd be interesting,
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i assume its modern times but that their town is super remote. cause if you have a remote enough town you dont get a lot of stuff we consider common
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea
🌟Draco Plato🌟
that's what i assumed too
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
ya know
theres a way for the reunion to happen and them to not leave
freya's family comes to them instead
and everyone has to cram into freya's tiny house
🌟Draco Plato🌟
hahah that's true
altho trains being in the tagline makes me think that's going to be a huge thing
so one way or another they're getting on a train
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
yea
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
maybe. i mean the trains are already kind of a thing
cause it was part of corin's job
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah but then you'd say train stations
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
not necessarily? its a tagline. its supposed to entice not be 100% to the letter accurate
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah, I know
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i do think someone is getting on a train
cause now these tickets are a big deal too
🌟Draco Plato🌟
yeah that did increase the importance of the journey
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I always liked when stories go on trains IMO
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i wonder what freya would even do if corin just stayed in bed when theyre supposed to leave and said "nope not going"
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I'd be curious about that too
🌟Draco Plato🌟
I wondered that too, if she'd make him go forcibly, but there is a point I don't think she could physically make him go
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i actually kind of hope freya goes and corin doesnt to a degree. cause i think him having to be alone and take care of himself might be good for him. or more id just be interested to see how he copes for a weekend. cause im slightly worried about his eating habits XD
🌟Draco Plato🌟
oh you know what
corin could stay and freya goes but the train gets in an accident due to the storm and he'd have to deal with the loss of freya too potentially
but freya doesn't die, just has to deal with being stranded
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
although ya know, being so far from home might be hard for freya. cause she cant exactly check the stove while shes hundreds of miles away
tho led my mind to comedic routes. imagining her trek across the snow for miles to get home. corin is like "omg youre okay" and first thing freya does is check the stove and sighs in relief
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Hmm
That would be cool for a scene or two
Also I wonder what kind of foods they eat
prolly all warm stuff
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
well corin had a muffin. i assume its normal stuff that they eat. tho i imagine they do stick away from cold stuff just for matters of practicality
on a side note
im really impressed corin dresses so lightly
cause corin does not have any heat insulating body fat going on really O_O;;;
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Yea
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I made it home before 10pm. ^_^;; Just wanted to say, I didn't have much free time this week, and so I didn't get far into the narrative, but that's partly because after I read the bit at the start with the kid and the teacher I thought if I don't stop now and do some marking, I'll read too far and be even more behind at work.
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Oh hey Math! o/
Welcome to the final six minutes
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Enjoyed the start though! Curious to see what others have to say about it.
Better late than never?
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
Also yea the beginning was cute
especially with the kids
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
hey math~!
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Apparently it goes to trains passing in the night.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
Hi Math~!
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
i did like the part where freya gave the kid coffee and then tricked her completely away from wanting to grow up so soon
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
^^^
That part got me especially
🌟Draco Plato🌟
hahah i liked that too, but didn't think it'd work in real life XD
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
We teachers can be tricky.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
also took offense since i don't drink coffee, gosh
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
aside from loading the kid up in caffeine
I don't drink it either
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
I also don't drink coffee, wooo.
🌟Draco Plato🌟
i drank more coffee as a kid than an adult freya, gosh
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
I loved cappuchino growing up
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Anyway, I'll let you get final thoughts out.
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
(I don't like warm drinks)
Great comic overall, hope to see it continue.
Everything about it was really pleasant to read
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
my last thoughts are that i really like the patterns on all the clothing. its that little bit of extra detail that adds some character to the setting and people existing within it
Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨
^^^
MathTans the Pun 👑Prince👑
Nice.
✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨
