OBSESSED with the idea of KID coming into the Kudou mansion seeking refuge (either he got heavily injured or his idenity is compromised) but instead is met with Okiya Subaru, Kudou Yukiko, and Kudou Yusaku. (Conan is also there coincidentally because lady luck hasn't totally abandoned him yet, apparently, but Kaito is sort of distracted by the amount of non-conans in the house to appreciate it.)
one day (before akai moves in) conan drags kid's injured ass back into the kudou mansion to patch him up (and also to demand answers about the snipers in the heist)
kid refuses to tell more about the snipers and conan doesn't pry but keeps an offer of help open
it becomes an unspoken agreement that kid would go to conan if something out of his hand happens in relation to said snipers
by 'go to conan' conan meant go to him, the person, as in wherever location he was at. kid, on the other hand, thought he should come back to the kudou mansion.
months pass, subaru, yusaku, and yukiko come to occupy the kudou household.
kid, injured or identity compromised, sees the lights are on and assumes conan is inside. which well...he ISN'T WRONG (LOL)
kid goes in through the window of conan's room which startles conan who was there to pick something up in his room.
"What are you doing here?!" Conan scream-whispers in a panic.
KID stiffens and stares at him with something like betrayal in his eyes. "Oh, I see I'm not welcome here."
"No! No wait that's not what I meant. It's just, this is NOT the best time."
Someone knocks on the door and the two of them jump. KID's eyes widen in realization as Conan quickly drags and pushes him into a closet. "Don't make a sound." KID does a zipping motion across his lips and makes a show of throwing an imaginary key. Conan rolls his eyes at him before closing the door.
anyways, it was akai who went up to check on conan cause the 4 of them were in the middle of a discussion and conan was suspiciously taking too long.
whether kid gets caught by akai and the kudou fam or not, i have no idea, but either way I WANT IT.
although tbh i feel like akai and yusaku would sense someone else is inside and yusaku would know exactly who it is LOL
then again, whether kid is heavily injured, has his identity compromised, or both, is a big factor on how events will unfold. (and i love exploring each one so my brain is rotting pls someone send help)

I know I said I would shut up (and I will) but...first kiss with Dainsleif thoughts hit me like a truck and I cannot stop thinking about it.
The gentleness, the uncertainty; the fear that he will stain you, the single star in his everlasting night, and ruin you with the abyssal rot that creeps along his body, festering and reminding him of everything he has already lost...the thought, the very concept, plagues him. He promised - he swore - he would never allow himself that pain again. He would never again open his heart to a moment of peace and tranquility. He stood by that swear when he first met you, fought against his own feelings, convinced himself he was simply deluding himself with visions of fantasy.
He tried, the heavens know he tried, to resist. He tried to convince himself that this was another trial, another temptation, another reminder of everything he's lost and everything he could lose again. The way you look at him worries him yes, but the way it makes him feel *terrifies* him; what if this was all a mistake? What if one day you finally awoke to the horror of what he is? Of the duty he failed to uphold? What if you knew that he couldn't protect you, just as he couldn't protect his nation? What if -
But oh, the way you touch him with a hand as gentle as an evening breeze, the way you reassure him with whispers sweeter than sunsettia wine, the way you love him so wholeheartedly, so unyieldingly -
It stirs a fire in him; one of hope dressed in a shroud of loss. It trembles a fear in him; a miscellany of emotions he hasn't felt in over 500 years. He's more afraid than he's been in centuries, and yet...
He's never felt more alive.

Podfic: "Captive Crown" by GerbilofTriumph
A shabby narration of GerbilofTriumph's excellent King's Quest fanfiction, "Captive Crown," complete with outrageous attempts at accents and enough bloopers to start a drinking game (with um, raisin juice. There are too many goofs for the real stuff.) This wonderful fiction, full of courage, nightmares, and healing, is gratefully recorded and shared with permission of the author, @gerbiloftriumph. Go check out her awesome creative blog.
All seven chapters are available at the link above, but if you just feel like listening to the first chapter while you scroll, voila:

(undertale spoilers but mostly just headcanons and stuff) I'm Not Quite Sure How This Got So Out Of Control???
(perhaps surprisingly, this one DOES actually have a very small amount of blood (as well as an off-screen death), so I'm slapping a warning here and in the tags. just in case. no massive violence, though.)
i set out to practice with word bubbles because i intend to make a full-length fancomic series one of these days, and i needed to figure out the word bubble tool.
i figured i'd just use this offhand idea i had about the King Papyrus neutral route and call it a day. well i'm not quite sure what happened but somewhere it went from "simple comic" to "5 pages of what the heck is this". somehow veered into angst again. welp.
(if you feel like reading my logic behind this whole thing here's the initial idea i wrote up like 2 weeks ago lol)
i was thinking about neutral routes (...again...) and i wondered, would the monsters eventually reach a boiling point? like, would they get so fed up with what they perceive to be papyrus' inability to run a kingdom/actually pursue getting a human SOUL that they turn on him?
sans of course would intervene, constantly reassuring everyone that papyrus was doing all he could (which would be the truth!), and even getting just a lil bit ominous and scary if he needed to.
...which got me to thinking something else. if they tried to overthrow him, what steps would they take? where would they stop? monsters' SOULs are made of love after all (and monsters rarely, if ever, show desire to harm another monster at ALL), but would they take a life if it meant freedom...?
which led me to:

concept: the reason “C” and “D” are included as blood types in the goner maker creation process is because after the first human fell, Dr WD Gaster took samples from them to study and work off of - he doesn’t remember that part, since it’s been a long time… and also he was shattered across time and space, but he does still remember having access to human blood vials labeled “C.D.”, stored in a fridge in the lab, which clearly could only stand for what types they were

Stupid Twitter Question
Is it "normal" for people to make comments about a post, separate from the original? Like if someone retweets my art and then follows it up with a standalone post saying "Cute!" or something to that effect.
Is that the equivalent of when we do tag comments here? So, it's like a courtesy thing of not wanting to bog down the post with extra stuff, or is it a shyness thing and these people are just too shy to tell me their nice comments?
