#it feels like the end of an era of miraculous fandom content

[theerasfestlovesquareversion]

ERAS FEST (LOVE-SQUARE VERSION)- F.A.Q.

What is Eras Fest?

This is a first-time event for the Miraculous fandom. Its goal is to bring together lovers of Taylor Swift and The love-square to create something combining this love.

How does it work?

In the application to the event you will be asked what your top 5 eras of Taylor Swift are, from there the mods will randomly assign you an era based on your top 5. Then the creation begins. You can write a story based on your favorite song from that era or create a piece of art based on the whole era! It’s whatever you feel motivated to do! Don’t worry we will have prompts and ideas for all the eras if you need some help coming up with something.

When can I apply?

Applications for everything will open on September 2nd.

What do I need to participate?

You’ll need an email address, a Discord account, and if you’re a writer, an AO3 account.

*Discord is not required but HIGHLY recommended (Borderline mandatory but we believe in free will). (Most of the check-ins and updates will be happening there. Plus it will be a fun place to hang out and talk about all things Taylor and Miraculous) 

What happens if I get accepted into this event?

For Writers

Create one story that is at min. 2K to a max of 10k words 

For Artist 

Create one art piece (recommended size: 2500px by 2500px)

*You can create either/or, or you can create both! There is no limit on what you would like to submit! 

*If you would like to be a beta or a cheerleader for this event please DM us!

Do I need to get my fic for the event beta read?

We recommend having your story beta read, but it's not a requirement for the event. 

What happens if I need to drop out of the event?

If you need to drop out of the event please contact a Mod as soon as possible and let us know. We are willing to work with you if it's because of deadlines.  

What kind of content is allowed?

[fyrapartnersearch]

Greetings and salutations! My name is Liana and I am 25 years old, female and I am DESPERATE for an 18+ RP partner. I’ve been RP-ing for over twelve years now and there are still so many plots and ideas that I haven’t played out yet. And I’m sure if you’re searching for an RP partner it’s the same case with you. So I’m just gonna go ahead and list a few fandoms I would LOVE to dive into. But before that a few things to keep in mind:

• I only do mxf where I can play either the male or the female.

• Long-Term RP partners only! And please don’t just message me and disappear.

• I can play most characters asked of me. Though you might have to give me a couple of days to get into that character’s headspace.

• Communication is KEY! We have to keep that channel open. Saying that please don’t be pushy when it comes to plots you would like done. If I’m not comfortable with it I’ll say so. And if you’re not comfortable with a plot then tell me so that we can work our way around it.

• Expect me to rant, fangirl and scream over pairings and OC x canon pairings. But then you are more then welcome to do the same as well! :D

• Doubling isn’t a definite must. But I don’t want to be stuck with just playing the male character. But I would prefer that we each pick out a fandom the other is familiar with and we each play one canon and oc or canon and canon, whatever fits best!

• Since I am over 18 NSFW content will be in the plot line though not the main focus. Unless the plot calls for it. Please do NOT contact me if you only wish to write smut. And do NOT contact me if you are not above 18. Some plots MIGHT involve nsfw content so I would prefer my rp partner be above 18.

• No incest. And characters who are underage will be aged up for the sake of the plot.

• I can go from romance to adventure. Angst to fluff. And everything else in between!

• Plot! Plot! Plot! I love plotting. But I don’t want to be the only one coming up with ideas. Equal contribution is the only way to keep the ball rolling.

• I won’t be available 24/7. There are days when I am really busy because of work. But just because I don’t reply doesn’t think I’ve forgotten. I do remember! I just need to find time.

• Speaking of time, my time zone is GMT+5.

• Mediums for RP-ing are Discord. My main Tumblr is the one in submitting this post from. We can exchange the rest of the information since I don’t want to put my contact out there. Previous bad experience.

• Please please please have a good grasp on the English language. Though it’s my second language I’m quite good at it and I want a partner who is just as good. My brain automatically starts picking out mistakes in whatever text I read and I hate doing that when I’m trying to enjoy a good reply.

• Writing format paragraph style. Third person point of view.

• I do canonxoc. But there might be one or two fandoms where I am willing to do canonxcanon. Example Miraculous Ladybug or Harry Potter.

• I promise I’m not a scary person. I know you’re probably thinking I have a lot of rules but I just want to make sure I get all this basic information out. Hopefully I didn’t forget anything! You can always ask me by sending an IM to my tumblr!

Now for the important part: The FANDOMS!

Listed are the characters I would LOVE to play against which will be quite a bit. But it doesn’t mean I won’t be any less excited for other pairings or characters! And I’m not listing them with any first or second preference is mind. I’d be happy to play against any of the listed really.

I am also including any pairings I would love to play out. We can work out who will be playing whom if we have a common pairing we ship!

I don’t think I wrote down ALL my fandoms so please feel free to suggest some! We might have it in common.

I do Fandomless role-playing as well but I’ve done it so much that I wouldn’t be able to put as much of my heart into it as I would the Fandom RP.

I want to end this by saying that I hope that if you decide to message me then we can be friends as well. I’ve made loads of friends through Rp-ing and I hope to make new ones as well!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Holding On And Letting Go

Summary: he wanted time to pass him by as fast as it could. Fast enough to lose all its meaning until the day he would hold her again. She wanted time to stop. The ghosts of everything she was missing and the irrational fear of being forgotten too much to bear. They had always believed time was on their side. But time turned its back on them.

I was wondering what would be like if Inukag had developed the habit of talking to each other through the well despite knowing there would be no response. This is a compiled of these moments, so is basically a plotless, short story with few chapters. 

But I do intend to write the reunion at the end.

Chapter I |  Chapter II |  Chapter III | Chapter IV

Word Count: 1.471  Genre: angst  Fandom: InuYasha  Pairing: Inukag  Format: multichapter  AO3 Link: 🌹  Fanfic.Net Link: 🌹

InuYasha would never admit it, not even to the Gods themselves, but he was exhausted like he has never been before.

She would have noticed it, he thought to himself, slowly making his way to the Honekui no Ido. She would have called me a liar to my face when I said I was fine and made me rest either I liked it or not. The only problem was he didn’t need to rest.

He needed her.

And the idea that she may be permanently out of his reach seemed so absurd he couldn’t bring himself to fathom it at all.

InuYasha knew when resplendent lights involved him against his will and saw it on her face as the well abruptly casted him back into his own era. Something was wrong.

Kaede was the one to explain, earlier that day, what happened. The Honekui no Ido had served its purpose marvelously and now that their mission had come to an end, the magic that connected their worlds faded. InuYasha understood that.

Yet he refused to accept it.

So there he was, alone in the middle of the night, claws buried deep into the woodend edges of the well, eyes fixed on its bottom. It didn’t look any different from the outside. Swallowing the lump that had lodged in his throat since he returned, the hanyou jumped inside.

It hurted even more than he had imagined when his feet touched the ground.

He knew it would happen — as if he was fated to watch helpless while she slipped through his fingers again and again — but pretending he could dive into the Honekui no Ido in one moment and be holding her in the next when he wasn’t absolutely certain he couldn’t was the only way to make things bearable. After all, lying to himself was the only kind of lie he was good at.

There was no pretending now, the portal wasn’t there anymore.

He sat there and let defeatense involve him in the dark.

“We finally did it.” He said, in the tone he saved just for her. “Naraku is gone and everyone else is fine. It’s over now. We won.” Without his consent a heavy sigh followed. “Then why do I feel like I lost everything?”

Then InuYasha realized what his exhaustion was about. He could probably fight a thousand youkais one by one at that very moment — courtesy of being a hanyou. But not even demon blood could heal a broken heart.

“No.” He shook his head, jaw clenching in determination. “I’m not losing you. So do what you gotta do and come back, you hear me? I’ll be waiting right here.” As his arms crossed, echoes of his own voice was the only response. “Come back to me.”

Kagome had tried everything.

From resorting to her spiritual powers to praying — and going as far as using her grandpa’s old charms —, nothing seemed to work. No matter what she did, the well insisted on remain as inactive as it was before she turned fifteen.

Even though Kagome had been trapped in her era before, this was a entirely different situation. She could no longer feel the magnetic presence that captivated her soul in ways she had yet to fully comprehend.

It infuriated and terrified her at the same time.

Both hands on her waist, gazing at the wooden structure, she closed the short distance with unwavering purpose. For the fifth time that day, she dived into the Honekui no Ido, and for the fifth time that day, nothing happened.

Frustration clasped her hands into a trembling fist.

“WHY — WON’T — YOU — WORK?” She jumped between the words, letting anger fill the gap among them in a pathetic attempt to restore the lost portal. Realizing flushed cheeks and white knuckles would be her only achievement, Kagome sat on her knees.

“I can’t get back.” The more the phrase resounded through her mind the more it lost its meaning.

It had been days since Kagome had last seen him. She was still not sure of how it happened or why. In one second InuYasha was there, watching as she involved her mother in a cramped hug. In the other, he disappeared and she was left screaming his name and staring to the empty bottom of the old construction.

The well hasn’t worked ever since.

After several minutes being held captive by paralyzing despair, Kagome decided to leave. The last thing she needed was to worry her family even more.

There was no use in staying, anyway. With the jewel vanished forever, no magical happenstance would miraculously save her this time.

“I’m sorry.” Was the last thing she whispered before climbing her way out.

“It’s been weeks and they’re still tiptoeing around me.” Inuyasha let the back of his head fall on the wooden surface and focused on the clouds drifting through the blue sky — even them seemed to have a place to be. “It’s so irritating! Acting so fucking nice all the time and pretending it’s their normal behavior as if I couldn’t tell the difference, telling me you’d want me to be happy as if I didn’t know that already!”

Deep down, InuYasha appreciated the concern of his friends, but there was nothing they could possibly do to make him feel better. They couldn’t just ignore her absence and go on as if nothing happened, but they couldn’t keep treating him with such caution either. Ultimately, it only made him feel like a burden.

That was why InuYasha valued those moments alone in the sole spot in the whole land where he could feel closer to her, when he didn’t have to put up a tough facade or threaten to cut off the head of whoever asked if he was alright. It was almost peaceful.

“In the meanwhile, your scent faded away.” The hanyou informed, trying not to sound too desperate about it. He could either face reality or get smashed by it, and as far as reality was concerned, Kagome’s aroma — both a source of comfort and a reassurance of her presence — was doomed to disappear eventually. InuYasha wasn’t eager to face a world without her smell in it. He had done it before and it positively sucked. “Everything feels so wrong without it.” He made a long pause. “They want to help me? Why don’t they bring you back to fix this yourself?” InuYasha felt his lips curve into a lifeless smile. “Yeah, didn’t think so.”

Although the half demon knew he wasn’t being fair to his friends — without them he would be in a much darker place — right then he didn’t care.

Few were the things he still cared for.

“Well, the mess you made in the kitchen was completely fixed a while ago.” Kagome smiled affectionately at the memory of InuYasha destroying her sink in the name of killing a cockroach, but it didn’t last long. “It’s like you’ve never been here.”

Suddenly, the truthfulness of the statement sinked in. It really is like that, isn’t it? She embraced her legs and let her chin rest on her knees.

It was a deeply hidden fear of hers, that someday he would be gone and she would be left with nothing to proof that everything they’ve been through had been real, not just a fairytale with a bittersweet ending that her mind had created out of boredom.

“I still have your cap in my bedroom, though. It was never used before you came along, so I don’t quite know what to do with it. Truth be told, I don’t know what to do with myself, either.”

While in their quest to defeat Naraku, Kagome had so thoughtfully concentrated on the mission that she left to worry about ‘after’ when that moment came. Now ‘after’ was here and it was nothing like she had imagined.

She sighed.

“We didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye.” Always the optimistic, the priestess shook the depressing thought off. “Maybe it’s for the best.” Goodbyes were for people who needed closure and that was the last thing Kagome wanted. Besides, she didn’t trust herself to simply let him go if the opportunity was given. “How could I ever say goodbye to you, after all?”

If her past experiences had taught her something was that the bond they shared wasn’t the type of thing one could merely walk away from. The Honekui no Ido may never work again, but the invisible force that tied their destinies together remained strong. Kagome could feel it pulsing within her veins.

Unfortunately, it didn’t make things any easier.

The sobs came without warning.

“I know you hate when I cry...” She managed to say between short breaths, failing on keeping composure. “But you’re not here, so…”

Unceremoniously, Kagome allowed the tears to pour.

A/N: this is probably not the content you guys would be into. I’m sorry. Just blame it on Ross Copperman.

So this thing I'm not writing

This epic Sports Night fic I am definitely not writing because I have lesbian ballerina spies to worry about and then an actual book deadline. Something I've noticed about particularly older fics in this fandom is that they have this tendency to acknowledge early on that Danny and Casey are both super fucked up. Danny's got the obvious anxiety disorder. (Generalized? Social? I can't say for sure, but from the questions Abby asks I would have to guess social.) Casey occasionally gets written as the golden retriever perfect boyfriend but thank God most people at least seem to NOTICE that he's also a rigid, neurotic mess. The general misogyny goes unremarked. It was an era where if there were Strong Female Characters (TM), the kind Sorkin writes, we were content. We made jokes at our own expense. God, look at women! So clingy and crazy! Always expecting men to respect our essential humanity when we know they have more important and manly things to do! So writers write Sally and Dana and Lisa and Rebecca the way Sorkin saw them, which is a shame, because all of them deserved better. Especially from us. But writers will acknowledge that the male leads are fucked up. Often write a decent scene where they behave like the kind of spoiled giant children they are. Convinced (like Sorkin) of their inherent specialness and greatness. And then--then they will get into the Romance, and suddenly they're both masterful communicators who know exactly what to say to make it all right. And my suspension of disbelief falls apart like wet tissue paper. Because that's not how these guys, who are CLEARLY both fucked up, who struggle with masculinity, would be about emotional communication. Watch them! Casey barely even grasps that Dan HAS an anxiety disorder! Dan sulks! Casey pouts! They have petty, vengeful moments on a nonstop basis! They would literally rather drink than talk about any feelings whatsoever! They are BAD AT THIS. Communicating in relationships is a skill. It must be honed. Neither of them have ever honed that skill in their lives. If you think for two seconds that, of all pairings, THEIR denouement would involve them rationally discussing things and then venturing hand in hand to the bedroom to have very enlightened and unambiguously consensual safe sex, which they would have already cleared the air about re their emotional expectations, you are FUNDAMENTALLY MISTAKEN about these jerks. And I love them, they're great characters, but listen to them TALK, especially about women! They ARE jerks! So anyway, I'm not writing this. I'm not writing about they met and then Lisa and Casey's marriage dissolving while Casey grasped at straws with vulnerable and emotionally naive Dana and then we get to the show and then we follow Danny's nervous breakdown and the show's near death and miraculous resurrection and then eventually Casey in particular grows the fuck up and learns to treat Dana with some respect and understands why exactly the dynamic with Sally was so bad and meanwhile Danny slowly learns to live with his anxiety not like a black cloud hovering over him but as a chronic medical condition he can manage, and in the end they're still huge dorks who in their middle age shack up and Charlie is like, okay, whatever, I guess Danny definitely can't be said to be trying to replace my mom, and they have a semi functional blended Jewish-Protestant family. ...I'm not. Yet.
