My f/o'ing Michael has not only thrown off my entire internal hierarchy of f/os (surprising literally everyone, Sir Forsyth is now no longer holding that top spot), but I also noticed that every new character I've added to my f/o list has been influenced by him in some manner. Max, Lee, Maren, and P03 all came with some sort of thought process of "they remind me of Mike in x way" before I f/o'd them. Like he has legitimately changed the kind of characters I look for in future f/os. This dude is deadass vetting everyone before letting them on the list

who: @elaenaceltigar where: the celtigar apartments within kings landing, following the news of prince jaehaerys targaryen's disappearance. maximus has been silent with elaena since her return from stonehelm alongside lyra.

dinner within the celtigar apartments had never been the most talkative of affairs, considering it was not common that maximus would find himself engaging with any of his sisters on a personal level, instead leaving them to the drunken cooing of his mother. it were no different to the atmosphere of claw isle, where all the siblings of celtigar seemed to be entirely separate from one another, at least within the headspace.

the presence of lyra was notably absent, considering she was within the riverlands to be married to the lord of raventree hall.

whilst the realm was not formally allied with the kingdom of the riverlands, maximus was not blind to the strengths that came from their hand on the freeflow of trade within the heart of westeros: it was too costly and timely to focus all efforts of trade to be solely by sea, and navigate the entirety of the southern tip of the continent. with the use of the canals that were being built, eventually the riverlands would be the heart of all trade: more than it already was.

"i will be returning to claw isle soon." his tone was blunt, and purposefully filled with a lack of information. as though she were not worthy of the knowledge of what he would be doing at home. as though she did not want to know what he would be doing at home.

maximus cared much for the money and the financial status of house celtigar: they would remain the underdogs of the valyrian households, happily. better to be in the shadows rather than step into the light where all can see you from what you are. this dinner table was particularly empty, if not for elaena; though she too had been at the receiving end of his cold, vengeful wrath following her return from stonehelm. as though the pair of them had forgotten who they were in their spirited adventure. the thought of his sisters sleeping beneath the roof of stonehelm, when lord arthur swann had been openly dismissive of the dragon court.

it was an embarrassment to themselves, and to him. desperate for the attention of the lod paramount of the stormlands, a man who was hardly one. "you will be coming with me." his instructions were clear and final; she had been without his presence in what she could have done to prove herself, and instead it were the direct opposite. "then we will return to court."

these trips to claw isle were frequent, and common. they stayed a fortnight usually, as he was able to conduct his duty as master of coin remotely by ensuring he were able to be contacted. and when the matter was resolved, they would return again - usually happening every two months. maximus never missed this pattern.

He’d thought joining Catherine would mean less time spent on a plane, yet these past few months proved otherwise. Another casualty of war. Max looked over to where his son sat next to Klaus, excitedly sharing his toys. They both had flecks of eggshell in their hair--recognition sparking hazy memory of his own father laughing as an eight year old Max enthusiastically cracked a hardboiled egg against Hans’ head. “Klaus,” he started, then faltered for a moment- unsure how to express this particular emotion. Max took a sip of his coffee then continued in italian, such that Freddie might not fully understand. “I am impressed by how you’ve stepped up and your dedication to your position with the military. You’ve proven to be an invaluable member of our war council.”  @niklausses​

An Extremely Self-Indulgent Meme

The lightest pressure brushing along the gash provoked a pained hiss as she flinched away from the contact, an apologetic smile to the redhead tending to her injuries following close behind. The hit Lara took wasn't enough to end her by any means - she wouldn't admit it, but she was embarrassed she had gotten hurt at all. That illusion of invincibility was showing some gigantic cracks.

"Thanks Max, I owe you one." She gave the girl's hand a brief, reassuring squeeze. "But can we maybe keep how pale I went when I saw my own blood between us? I'll pay."

“... It feels so REAL. When he takes you to those places.” Nancy mused quietly, careful to keep her voice low so as not to be overheard by anyone else. She’d thought she understood why Max had been sort of reluctant in the beginning to talk about what she’d seen in the visions Vecna showed her, assuming the young redhead simply didn’t want anyone to think she was CRAZY. But now? Nancy knew first hand just how TERRIFYING and deeply personal those visions were. How they seemed to cling to her field of vision even when she woke up again, Barb’s decomposing body always just in her periphery. Taunting her, teasing her, a ticking clock that was rapidly running out always lingering in the back of her mind ...

“What do you think he gains? Scaring us, torturing us like that. What’s his GOAL?”

Otomiya Archive 😎

Hi hi! You guys may have seen me tag a specific dear friend whenever someone asked about a fic that was no longer found online... Max (@wertzunge) has archived a lot of my old works! and today I actually received the list and I was amazed!! I caught a few titles that I had forgotten about.

So, I would like to share the title list with you guys.

Question:

If you see any fic on there that's not on my AO3 and not on my FF.net (feel free to ask me tho, I can navigate easier probably since they're my accs), just let me know and I'll ask Max to send them to me so I can reupload sometime. There's a couple that I already chose myself to reupload, but there are some I personally have no interest in so unless someone asks, they won't be posted.

The List:

Note: It may seem like a lot but MOST of these are already on AO3. I think it's a small minority that's now dead.

Will surely reupload:

(only on AO3, reason for choosing them is because I have fond memories of them or remember them slightly more than others.)

Strike = already reuploaded

Haikyuu!! - Yama-Hitman (anon who asked, I hope you see this, I'll post this one first, soon!)

Haikyuu!! - The King, The Teletubby and The Peasant (sequel to Yama-Hitman, I had completely forgotten I wrote a sequel lol)

"Little Lion Man"

Master List

Joel Miller x Reader

A/n: This is based on the HBO Max series. I might incorporate more of the game later on but so far it will stick. Some events may be changed to follow along with my story idea. THAT BEING SAID. As of NOW most the chapters are not named! I will try now to do a weekly update because I got my shit together now. 😂

Summary: (Y/n) works for FEDRA ever since the break put first happened. They studied all their soldier to see which are the most capable. Time and time again she has proven herself worthy of her high rank. Lately, there have been more attacks by the Fireflies in the Boston QZ. Plus they have picked up word that the Fireflies are in possession of a delicate package, a cure. Wanting to get their hands on it they send (Y/n) on an undercover mission to Boston. No one else knows but the higher-ups. So she is treated like any other citizen. The female soon meets Joel Miller. And is dragged into the perfect situation. She is told to go along with him and it can leaved the FEDRA to the main Firefly base. However, she never planned to fall in love with Joel Miller or have a motherly bond with Ellie. What will she choose in the end?.

“Sylviane,” he greeted, stepping into the sitting room where his sister sat on the floor playing with his son. Freddie looked up with an excited Papa, and Max couldn’t stop his smile, sinking down to join them. The child soon resumed his puzzle, and when Max spoke to Sylvie his voice was uncharacteristically cool. “Tell me,” he took an offered puzzle piece from Freddie, who hummed to himself, “is it possible that you have more information about the situation in Basel than I do?” He would not call it a war in front of his son. “Than our generals?”  @sylvianes​

Huge Announcement!! (I'm Taking Animaniacs/Pinky and The Brain Fic Requests!) (Please Read for Information!)

Hello to all my Animaniacs friends and Pinky and The Brain acquaintances!!! After much consideration and a 5-month-long hiatus from fanfiction writing, I've decided that it's time to get back on it! I have multiple Pinky and The Brain fanfics being planned out right now, but while I compose more things for you (including the next chapter of "When He Loved Me" which is back by popular demand), I want to announce something to all of you that I hope will go over well.

With the Animaniacs reboot concluding earlier this year, and the fandom slowly winding its way down the obscurity route, I wanted to do something to keep the fandom chugging. I've actually wanted to do this for a few months, but now seems like a great time to start this little idea. So I've decided:

I'm Going To Start Taking Requests for Fanfics Here On Tumblr!!!

That's right!!! You guys will have the opportunity to submit fanfic ideas/prompts to me that you've always wanted to see in the community. I'm going to be making a second blog, where I will be accepting requests for fanfics and will be posting them onto Tumblr directly. I will also make these prompts available on AO3 in a compilation fic where I will also be mentioning the ask in the notes. I want to mainly focus on Brinky, Yax, and of course, the Warner Siblings and their dynamic. The blog will (maybe) be titled NarftasticFicRequests (TBD as official name) and I will be accepting both Pinky and The Brain, and Animaniacs writing ideas. I think that this is a great prompt to encourage me to write and to keep these fandom spaces alive and well. I don't have the intro ready yet for the new blog, heck I haven't made the new blog yet, but wait to see it pop up in the next few weeks. However, while the introduction hasn't been made, I am going to set down a few ground rules/boundaries here right now:

There will be absolutely NO 18+ content allowed. There are a ton of fics out there with mature labels that you can find; you don't have to look hard. I do not feel comfortable writing that stuff yet. Don't ask for smut of any kind because you will not get it, I guarantee that. The farthest I'm willing to go is deep kissing (i.e. tongue) but I'm only willing to do that for Pinky and Brain exclusively, since it doesn't seem to bother the fandom that much. I WILL NOT do that stuff for Yakko and Max because it doesn't sit well with me since they are so young. If deeper, more aggressive kissing is involved in Brinky fics, the tag: mildly spicy mice, will be used to indicate this. It won't be in every fic, I promise. :)

2. NO WARNERCEST REQESTS!!! That will get you promptly banned off of both my blogs for the foreseeable future. I HATE THIS SHIP SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS. This also ties into the no 18+ content label mentioned earlier. Do not ask for this.

3. Fic requests may take up to a week or more to complete. It will depend on the ask itself and the story ideas I compile together. I'm very busy with other life things and stresses that it will be difficult to find the time to work on these. I will optimize weekends for fic writing to my best ability, but I will let you guys know if I'm taking a break. When I'm taking a short break, the ask box will be closed temporarily, but it will be re-opened.

4. Other ships such as Billie x Julia, Wakko x Louie Duck, and Dark Pinky x Future Brain will be accepted if you request them. If these take longer to make, it's going to be because I haven't written for these ideas before and I will need time to make sure everything is done decently. I'm also accepting AU ideas such as gender-swaps (I have a really good idea if y'all want to see a gender-swapped Pinky and Brain) . However, parody ideas will be extremely risky to request since if I haven't seen the material, I can't make the parody and if I have seen it, I might make a whole fic based on it rather than just a simple one-shot.

5. If your request takes longer to complete, it's likely because I am working on a fic for AO3, most likely my Christmas/Winter fics, or a tedious multi-chapter. Don't think I've abandoned your request; I will get to you ASAP after I'm done with whatever project I'm on.

6. Certain things that are banned from the askbox: mean comments, smut requests, Warnercest, non-Animaniacs/PaTB requests, harassment of other individuals. Certain ships, such as Warnercest and Brain x Julia will not be allowed either due to personal and emotionally scarring reasons.

7. Last thing: Enjoy it!!! Make requests that are angsty, silly, fluffy, sad, or happy! Think about what you've always wanted to see in a fanfic, or an idea that you would enjoy seeing my take on. Just make sure to follow my rules and boundaries so we can all enjoy this as a fandom.

I'm really excited to get this started!!! It will take a while to put everything together. Stay tuned for an announcement that the blog is up and that you can start submitting requests. Look out for the new blog as well, and the intro post that'll contain the official rules and a little more about the blog. Once again, I'm extremely ecstatic to start taking your requests, and I might even post non-requests on the blog as well. I know this might seem a little late since the reboot is over, but I sincerely pray that this new blog can continue to keep the Animaniacs/PaTB fandom alive, at least for a little while longer. I hope that you guys get some ideas for requests while this new second blog takes shape. Hoping it'll be up by the end of next week. Fingers-crossed that this ideas doesn't blow up in my face!!! See y'all soon!!!! Narf!!!

Everything felt different after her birthday. It was like the world was speeding up. The rest of February flew on by as did March and suddenly it was April and spring was in the air. Flowers were beginning to bloom, and Joyce had recently gotten word that Melvad’s might be in trouble because there was competition brewing in the form of a new mall coming that summer. 

“Well, a mall might be nice, right?” Y/N said over dinner the night her mom told them all the news, while the rest of the Byers’ pushed their dinners around on their plates. “I mean, it’ll be nice to not have to drive so far to go to one now.”

“A closer big movie theater would be nice.” Jonathan shrugged his shoulders as he tried to help Y/N make some light comments for their mother’s sake. 

“You’re right. It’ll certainly save me on gas money now.” Joyce said softly, still a bit sad in the face as she spoke. While she tried to keep her thoughts light she didn’t really know what this all meant. When Melvald told her about the mall opening up that summer, she didn’t think much of it. But now with all the news and list of stores coming out, she was beginning to worry about it. 

“And we’ve still got a few months, right?” Y/N said with a nod of her head. “Maybe something will happen.” 

“Hey, Y/N’s right. Something could happen with construction.” Jonathan laughed. “Or one of those demodogs could be found again, maybe in the mall!”

“Oh my God, Jonathan, at least I’m being serious.” 

“I was being serious.” Jonathan deadpanned, turning his head to look at his sister with a light roll of his eyes, flinching when she tossed a napkin at him. 

“Do I need to separate you two? Or ask you to act more well behaved like your brother?” Joyce asked, gesturing to Will who sat between them. He was silent for the most part just following along the conversation. If he was being honest, his mind wasn’t on the mall--he didn’t really care about the mall. He was more focused on what that might mean for the arcade and if that meant that would close. 

“Did that letter say if the mall would have an arcade too?” Will asked, looking up from his plate and looking at his mom. 

Joyce shrugged her shoulders as she took a bite of her food, “I’m not sure, sweetheart. I don’t think I saw one on the list. But the arcade in town is still good, right?” 

“Of course it is. I just wondered if since there’s gonna be a bigger theater what that meant for all other things...” Will shrugged his shoulders. Worried was more like it. He wanted to know if he had to adjust to something else in his life and focus on the new world around him again, but at least knowing that they wouldn’t have to go to a new arcade was good enough. 

“Is tonight game night or something?” Y/N asked, looking at her brother with a slightly worried look, hoping that it didn’t come off worried and overprotective older sister even if that was how she was feeling right then. 

“Mike’s hanging out with El and Lucas is hanging out with Max.” Will shrugged his shoulders, pushing the food around on his plate and looking back up at his sister. “So, I don’t really think we’re doing anything together.” 

“We could call Dustin, I can take you guys to the arcade or the two of you could try and explain dungeons and dragons to me again?” 

“I don’t think we need to explain it to you again.” Will said, shrugging. He wasn’t sure if his sister was really interested in all of these things or just trying to make sure that he felt like he had something to do. But either way, Will found himself offering another suggestion. “But, maybe you can come next time we’ve got a campaign and you can watch if you want?” 

“Y’know, maybe that’ll help.” Y/N nodded. “I’d like that.”

“If you really want to try the arcade tonight we could call Dustin.”

“Yeah, Will.” Y/N said, before turning to look at her other brother. “Unless Jonathan wants to join us.” 

“I’d be down for a drive and music or something but I’m not really an arcade kind of person.” Jonathan answered, making a face at the thought of spending time in the arcade. As much as he loved his siblings, he really didn’t love spending that much time in that place and it wasn’t really the kind of place he liked. He was more of a written word, photography creative than a games visual design creative. “So long as mom is willing to part with the car for us?” 

“For all my kids to go out for a drive?” Joyce asked. It was almost like time hadn’t passed by her. She felt like she was looking at all her kids when they were still young, and not nearly grown up. How had all this time passed her and her family by? “Of course. Just don’t stay out too late.” 

As the Byers kids piled into their moms car, it felt like it was something they had been doing all their lives without any interruption. They fit naturally getting into the car, and as Joyce watched the three banter and get into the car, driving off she thought that this is how it should have been always. 

How it was going to be from now on. 

Inside the car, Jonathan sat behind the wheel and looked slightly to his siblings as he drove. “So, do we have a destination in mind or should we just drive around?” 

“Is there a place we can go to hang out and just talk?” Y/N suggested. 

“Talk? What do you want to talk about?” 

“I feel like I’ve gotten to talk to everyone about everything but not the two of you.” Y/N said with a shrug of her shoulders. Which was true, she’d gotten the story of everything from the whole group, but the three siblings hadn’t ever really spoken about everything that happened to their family. Both supernatural, and just natural. She felt like maybe they needed that, especially since she’d been avoiding any kind of talk like that after her birthday explosion. 

Both of her brothers could understand that and while they rode in the car, singing along to Should I Stay or Should I Go, the eldest Byers drove them toward an open field where he could park and the three of them got out of the car. 

“So, what do you want to talk about?” Jonathan asked when he was out of the car, flipping the keys nervously in his hands. 

“I don’t know. I feel like since I’m home we’re all busy. You’re with Nancy, Will’s with his friends. Now I’m trying to make friends and hang out with them but we haven’t had time to just catch up.” Y/N complained with a sigh. “Am I not allowed to want to spend time with both of my siblings? Fuck.”

“You seemed pretty fine with it all these years.” Jonathan mumbled halfheartedly, not really sure if he truly meant the comment. But it did come out kind of bitter. 

Y/N’s eyes widened. 

Will turned to look at his older brother. 

“Are you fucking serious?” Y/N spat out, shaking her head. “Oh, I am so glad that we left the house because if mom even heard you say that.”

“If mom heard me say it then what? What? Are you just mad I’m saying it out loud when we’re all thinking it. You could have come home, Y/N. We wrote to you and called you and always said that we wanted you home, but where were you? Not fucking here.” 

“Jonathan...” Will didn’t even know what to say, but for his brother to start in on their sister like this when he didn’t even see it coming. Sure, he might have felt angry that she wasn’t there when everything happened to. That she’d missed out on so much, but they had missed out on everything in her life too, right? Will didn’t think they had any right to blame her like Jonathan clearly was. 

“I was here when mom thought we lost Will, when she was going fucking crazy trying to talk to him through the damn lights and then when he was in the hospital and when the fucking feds were telling us everything was going to be okay but we can’t talk about it! Shush, it’s some big secret that this town is a shithole.” Jonathan said, waving his hands around and looking at Y/N. “And where were you? Off at some fancy fucking boarding school in California? You didn’t even write or call?” 

“What do you want me to say? That I’m sorry. I’m horrified that everything happened, and I’m scared as hell that something is going to happen again, Jonathan.” Y/N admitted after a long moment of silence, it was clear she’d been holding back in some emotion while she was trying to think of the right words to say. “And you know what...what was I supposed to say on the phone? Hey, so our shitbag dad hates me so much that he shipped me off to a boarding school, but it’s fine because I’ll be okay because at least here I’m away from him and his bullshit! You don’t know what it was like living with Lonnie Fucking Byers all these years, Jonathan. Don’t even start with me. I’m fucking sorry that I wasn’t here for you and Will, but I’m here now. I’m here now.” Y/N shook her head as she spoke, looking at her brother and sighing. “That’s going to have to be enough for you. Because it has to be enough for me. We can’t go back and change the past.” 

The three siblings stood there, all on guard for different reasons. Jonathan looked angry. Hurt, like he wanted to keep screaming. Words he never wanted to say to his sister, but they’d been building up and he’d needed to get them out. Will looked worried, like one of them was going to walk away and he didn’t know who and if they did...was he supposed to follow them or stay and get the other to go after them? And then there was Y/N who stood halfway between angry and dejected. Tears prickling at the corners of her eyes as she looked at her brothers and not knowing what else she could say. 

The silence was deafening for all of them, but none of the siblings wanted to be the one to break it first.

None of them knew what to say. 

“I’m sorry you had to live with dad.” Jonathan reluctantly admitted after the long silence got the best of him and he just needed to say something. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t call more.” Y/N copied her brother’s gesture, a half smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she looked at him. “I should have.”

“I was always too scared dad would pick up the line if I called. But, we both should have.” Jonathan corrected. 

“Maybe if we called more we’d have known you were at that boarding school.” Will said. 

“Maybe I wouldn’t have found out about all this shit from dad.” Y/N made a vague gesture with a wave of her arm and looked at her brothers. “I know I’ve said it a lot the past few months, but I’ve really missed you guys.”

“I’ve missed you too.” Jonathan said.

“Me too.” Will added.

It was too much to handle for all of them, and without really saying much else, the three piled back into the car and headed back to the Byers’ house. Emotionally drained and not really wanting to explain much of anything, the radio playing and nobody caring what song was on. 

Tomorrow was another day to deal with whatever else was coming their way. 

When Y/N got up the next day it was a surprise to see that she was the last one up. How everything had been going lately she’d been a mid morning riser, usually waking sometime between her brothers on non school mornings. Y/N however, wasn’t surprised to go out into the living room and see that the house was already over run with a bunch of her brother’s friends including Steve and Nancy. 

“There’s coffee and some pancakes still in the kitchen, Y/N.” Will said in lieu of greeting his sister good morning. 

“Why is everybody here so early?” Y/N asked as she walked toward the kitchen to fix herself a cup of coffee just how she liked it, turning back to look at everyone else. 

“Duh, we’re planning our Spring Break?”
